[fic] 2 short fics
May. 3rd, 2003 11:25 pmGot 2 short fics done today o_O.
Would have 2 more, but want to get permission from Ann first before playing with the 'Pomp' universe. Playing with Kaito in a strange and unusual place (well, for him) is just such a great temptaion...
Kaito's stomach growled as the class rose to escape to freedom, other wise known as the end of the school day.
Aoko giggled at him. "You want to stop for ice cream on the way home?" She offered.
"Naw, I'll just grab something when I get home." He waved it off. "Kind of low on funds at the moment." The Kaitou Kid's tricks and traps were cool, but they did cause a bit of a drain on his wallet.
"Funds?" Keiko echoed for a moment before her face lit up in a bright expression. "Oh! I nearly forgot! Koizumi-chan, Hakuba-kun, please wait here a minute!"
Akako and Saguru, who were almost out the door, blinked in surprise, but did as requested as the pigtailed girl rummaged through her bookbag. "I know they're here somewhere..." She mumbled to herself. "Oh, here they are!" She pulled out 4 envelopes, each with a slightly different colour pattern print on them.
She turned and passed them out to the other 4 teens. "Here you go, it's your share."
"Share?" Hakuba ventured, looking at his off-white envelope quizzically.
"Yeah!" Keiko beamed.
Aoko pulled several bills out of the pale blue envelope she was holding. "Keiko-chan, what's this for?"
"It's your share from the betting pool." Keiko explained, holding up a book.
Akako's eyebrow rose as she looked in her rose-coloured envelope. "Betting pool?"
"Yup! I split what's left of the profits and put it in the envelopes. It's all written down right here, if you want to check that you're getting your share. I'm just sorry I forgot to give them to you sooner!"
"...What kind of bets?" Hakuba questioned.
"That would be telling." Keiko grinned, giving him a wink. "If you knew, you might change your pattern of behaviour, and then what would the class have to bet on for fun?" She laughed, dancing out the door. "Bai!"
"Did any of you know about this?" Akako asked, looking down at the money as if she wasn't quite sure if it was solid or not.
"Um... I did, a little bit." Aoko admitted. "I've been in the betting pool before on what kind of animal you were going to turn Hakuba-kun into. But I didn't know that there were any on Kaito or me!"
Akako and Hakuba looked a little startled at the reference to Akako's occasional habit of accidentally turning the English detective into various small animals when irked. She was usually aiming a Kaito when it occurred.
"I'm not sure if I should be pleased or outraged." Hakuba commented. On one hand, people were betting on him behind his back. On the other hand, he was getting a share of it. And from the looks of it, a pretty fair share as well.
Akako raised an eyebrow at the blue-eyed girl. "Your friend is a bookie." She deadpanned.
Aoko laughed nervously and sweatdropped.
"Kuroba?" Hakuba prodded the wild haired boy, who was staring at the grey envelope he was holding in wide eyed silent shock. "Kuroba? What do you think of all this?"
Kaito slowly shook himself out of the shocked stupor, and looked stupidly at the others. They looked back at him, hedging backwards a bit, just in case of an impeding explosion. No one was really ever sure just what was swirling around in that brain of his.
The magician suddenly bounced, all hyperactive smiles again. "This is great! Who wants ice cream?!"
-fin-
Yes, the envelope colours are their names once again. Seemed easier than writing their names on it.
While working on a random fic about the class putting on a play, Keiko started taking bets over just who was going to kiss Princess Kaito: Aoko or Akako.
And somehow, it evolved into a sort of a constant mental background joke when ever Aoko started chasing Kaito, or Hakuba and Kaito started pranking each other, that Keiko was there the background taking bets on who was going to win -this- time.
Sort of like a cheerful pig-tailed version of Tendo Nabiki from Ranma1/2. ^^;;

And something from our chat bunnies file:
"Nice uh..." Akako raised an eyebrow as she looked the tall teen up and down "..coat, Hakuba-kun."
"Thank you." Hakuba said with a great deal of dignity as the wind caught his deerstalker, causing it to billow out around him. "I was running late this morning and couldn't find my normal one."
"You were up late studying how to catch the Kid, weren't you?" Aoko sighed. Kaito snickered from beside her.
"Yes." Hakuba admitted, casting a glare towards the magician who was calmly walking behind them. Kaito just grinned back. After all, it wasn't HIS fault that the British Detective was so obsessed with capturing the Phantom Thief.
The wind howled past them again, causing them to huddle into their jackets a bit. The winds were strong today and everyone was grateful for the warmth of their coats.
"It flares out rather dramatically." Akako noted, walking on Kaito's other side.
"He does have an overblown sense of dramatics, yes." Kaito agreed. "And with the winds today, I won't even have to flip Aoko's skirt, it'll do it for me."
"Hey!" Aoko glared as he chuckled. "You're not walking behind me today!"
"Hmmm..." Akako made a thoughtful sound, pressing a finger tip against her lips as she watched Hakuba walk several metres in front of him.
Kaito raised a suspicious eyebrow. "You're not thinking what I think you're thinking... are you?"
She grinned.
"Uh-oh."
"What?" Aoko asked.
"Don't do it." Kaito advised.
"Yes, but he has the most lovely reactions." She sighed lustfully. She paused a moment before raising an eyebrow in Kaito's direction. "Of course, if someone -else- did it, he'd probably keel over in shock."
Aoko looked confused. "Do what?"
Kaito raised an eyebrow, walking along in silence for a moment. Aoko looked between the two of them, her confusion growing. She could sense trouble brewing, she just knew it. "Do WHAT?"
"... Only because you pinch." Kaito finally decided.
Akako smirked. "Lesser of two evils?"
"Exactly."
"Kaito?" Aoko looked wary as a slow maniacal grin grew across Kaito's face, and he bounced on the balls of his feet a little. He charged towards the detective. "KAITO!"
:: FLIP! :: Up went the trench coat.
"GNEEeeeeeee!!!" Hakuba jumped, his spine going rigid in shock.
Akako howled with laughter as Kaito took off like a shot, pelting towards the school.
"KAITOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Aoko bellowed, a mop suddenly appearing in her hand as she chased after.
Hakuba put an arm out in front of her, stopping her charge. "Allow me." He said politely, taking the mop from her hands and handing her his book bag.
"KUROBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Mop raised above his head like a sword, Hakuba took off after the laughing thief as if he were a knight in shining armour chasing after a rouge.
Aoko blinked, surprised for a moment, then took off after them, waving both book bags. "GET HIM, HAKUBA-KUN!" She cheered.
Akako followed at a more sedate pace, laughing her head off.
-fin-
Will be posting these on ff.net in the next week I think...
