Kokichi's POV
"Nishishi! Shuichi your face is red as hell!" I laugh.
Shuichi sighs with relief as I take his hand and get up.
"I should really get going now Kokichi..." He says to me.
"Aww! Does Shumai have better things to do than hang out with little old me?" I ask him, crocodile tears forming in my eyes.
"Uh... yes. I mean no! Uh..."
"I should really just get going..."
"Nishishi! Goodbye my beloved!"
"Your... beloved..?"
I pause in my tracks, completely frozen.
Shit...
I messed up.
I can see Shuichi giving me a suspicious glare.
I've really backed myself into a corner now...
Okay, stay calm. Just act natural...
"What is it Shumai?" I ask him nonchalantly.
"Oh, nothing." He responds to me.
I can tell that he's lying to me.
"Shuichi. I know you're lying to me." I stare at him dead in the eye.
"Wha- no! I swear it's nothing!" He stutters.
I sigh.
"Alright Shum-"
I fake cough.
"Shuichi." I finish my sentence.
Shit. That was a close one too.
"Well, I have to go! I'll see you later!" I exclaim and then hurry off.
I bet Shuichi is very confused right now...
I really screwed up.
I'll just hope that he doesn't connect the dots.
Oh, who am I kidding? He's the world's best detective, of course he'll connect the dots.
He'll soon find out that I'm The Phantom Thief.
I'm such an idiot.
I should really get home.
My stomach is killing me...
Maybe It's something that I ate.
Yeah, that's probably it...
Hmm... But what have I eaten today?
Nothing...(Except Panta, but that isn't food.)
I just shrug it off.
It's probably nothing.
As I turn a corner, I see a police car.
I better go before someone recognizes me...
Time Of The Skip (Wonky wording, I know)
Kokichi had made it home, but little did he know that the effects of the hanahaki disease were slowly beginning to set in.
I sigh to myself.
I can't stop worrying if I've given myself away or not.
Even if I have given myself away, it won't help to worry about it.
My stomach still hurts...
Maybe I'll just take a quick nap.
Shuichi's POV
(because I ran out of ideas for Kokichi's POV oop)
Shuichi was now at home after that odd incident with Kokichi.
It's just seems more like The Phantom Thief is Kokichi everyday...
But even if it is him, I'll need some solid proof of it.
Maybe I'll get the chance to meet The Phantom Thief again.
At least I hope I do...
Oh! Since I'm in Japan I'll text my friends and tell them.
Shuichi decides to text Kayayday (Otherwise known as Kaede)
Saturday, 3:45
Shuichi: Hey Kaede!
I wait for her response for a few minutes.
Saturday, 3:49
Kaede: Hey Shuichi! Sorry I didn't respond right away, I was with Miu.
(Okay but I low-key ship Kaede and Miu e3e)
(cAlM dOwN iT's sTiLl yOur BeLovEd OuMaSaI ! ! ! )
She was with Miu?
Last time I checked they weren't friends.
I guess I was gone for a really long time...
Saturday, 3:54
Kaede: Shuichi? You still there?
Shuichi: Yeah... I was just thinking. ( OKAY but could that text message get edgier?)
Shuichi: But anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I am back in Japan.
Kaede: WHAT!?! You are!?!
Kaede: This is great! We should totally hang out sometime!!!
Shuichi: I dont know... I'm going to be really busy Kaede.
Kaede: C'mon! It'll be so fun! Besides, I haven't seen you in forever!
Shuichi: I suppose that I can make some time for you :)
I text that last message with a smile.
She was right, I haven't seen her in forever.
( GuYsSSS I sWeARRRR thiSSS iSN'T ShUichi x KaYayDaY)
Kaede: Sweet! I just remembered that there's this masquerade party that I'm going to, do you want to come with me?
Shuichi: If you're allowed to bring people then that sounds fine!
Kaede: Of course! The party is tomorrow so make sure that you're ready for it!
Shuichi: Okay! Thanks for inviting me.
Kaede: No problem! I'll see you then!
I should probably pick an outfit for the party...
Do I even have a tuxedo?
...And what about a mask?
I get up and walk over to my closet.
Hmm...
All of the sudden something blue and shiny catches my eye.
Woah
I had no idea I even packed this in my bag.
I grab the outfit out of my closet and start admiring it.
It's perfect for the party!
Now I just need to find a mask.
After looking around for a long while I conclude that I have not brought a mask with me to Japan.
I just hope that Kaede has one for me.
I look at the shiny tuxedo some more.
It's an all black tuxedo with its edges outlined in blue. It's made with some sort of fabric that gives off a slight shine when you look at it.
All of the sudden I hear a BRRIING! from my phone.
I assume that it's Kaede again.
I walk over to my phone and flip it over to reveal who sent me a text.
The person's username read...
Panta boy
May the mystery of The Phantom Thief live on another day...
