Am currently having mental pics of Kaito walking around the class room during a break and getting hot water, dumping a bunch of instant coffee, hot chocolate and sugar into a cup, stirring and drinking it. *POING!* He's awake and running!
... I do that at work occasionally, but with just a small dash of coffee and more sugar. Blech, coffee tastes bad.

-did laundry last night, plot bunnie to follow.



"Let me guess." A slightly amused voice with a Kansai accent commented behind Hakuba Saguru as he wrestled with the vending machine, who was stubbornly refusing to give him his milk tea. "It's stuck."

"Precisely." He glanced back to see a dark-skinned boy his own age with a baseball cap grinning at him. "You wouldn't know how to remedy it, would you?"

"Not a problem." The boy nodded before giving the machine a hard kick on one of the legs. The vending machine rattled for a second, before delivering his drink into the opening below. "It always does that. You here for the game?"

"Thank you. Yes, actually." He knelt down and retrieved the drink. It was rather hard to cheer with a dry throat. "Hakuba Saguru, with the-"

"-Kaitou Kid Task Force?" The boy flashed him another grin, feeding his own coins into the machine. "I've heard of you. Hattori Heiji. My Father's on the Osaka team."

"Ah, yes. The Teenage Detective of the West." Hakuba nodded. "I've heard of you as well. Nice to meet you."

The crowd cheering behind them caught their attention and they turned their attention once more back to the Policemen Baseball Teams battling it out on the field below. This year, the Kaito Kid Task Force from Ekoda and the top team from Osaka were the final two contenders. The score was currently fairly close, the Osaka team a bit in the lead.

"Who's up now?" Hattori asked, kicking the machine again to get his drink.

"Actually..." Hakuba craned his neck, peering over people to see the player swinging a bat as he walked up to bat. "... I don't know."

"Hold on..." Hattori stood on his toes, gaining a bit more height to see as well.

They strained to see the player, who took up a ready stance, nodding at the pitcher. "That grin looks familiar." Hakuba mused outloud, a slight frown forming.

"The jersey says 'Kido'." Hattori supplied helpfully.

*Crack!* The bat hit the ball and went sailing.

"IT'S KID THE PHANTOM THIEF!" The boys shouted in unison, realisation dawning at the same time as the batter sprinted for first base.

With a 'POOF!' and a cloud of smoke, the Kid shed his baseball uniform, the cape streaming out behind him as he rounding first base. Policemen surged out of the dugouts, descending upon the field to catch the thief.

"GET HIM!" Hakuba roared, waving a hand in the air. There was no way that either of them were going to be able to get down to the field in time to help catch the running thief, who was laughing merrily as he dodged baseball uniform clad officers, slipping just out of reach.

He rounded second just as someone from the outfield got the idea to toss the ball back into the foray. The second baseman fumbled it, allowing the Kid to tag third safely and head to home, leapfrogging some of the officers running out of the nearby dugout.

"TOSS IT HOME!" Hattori shouted, waving. "TAG HIM OUT! TOSS IT HOME!!!"

The second baseman appeared to have heard the cry, turning to toss it at the gawking catcher. The Kid saw this jumped, sliding on his stomach under the legs of one of the officers to land on home, the ball landing in the catchers glove with the satisfying sound of leather smacking leather.

"SAFE!" The Umpire shouted, swinging his arms wide before reaching out to grab the thief. The grin on Kid's face flickered as he let out a laugh and rolled out of reach and onto his feet, startling several officers. To add to the confusion, he then dived into the thick of the crowd, heading for the pitchers mound.

Hakuba groaned, running a hand down his face. "Idiots. He's going to get away now."

"How?" Hattori blinked. "They've got him surrounded!"

The Kaitou Kid Task Force let out a roar as they saw his 'escape' and jumped for him just as he reached the mound. There was a 'POOF!' as the Kid disappeared again, the cloud of pale blue smoke disappearing under the massive dog pile on the dog mound.

"That's how." Hakuba pointed, a tired look on his face. "You'd think they would have learned by now. Jeez, I think the Kid managed to steal the entire diamond..."

"Oi." Hattori nudged him, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Does that count as a point for your team?"

My Kaito doesn't drink coffee cos it knocks him out. [From some vague memory that caffiene can act in opposite ways in people with ADD -- although mostly because Mom used to give Amy coffee when she was bouncing off the walls when we were little; BOOM! sleepy Amy.]

Heh heh heh. He couldn't let his team LOSE, now, could he.

Chibi-Kid in my head just seems to like playing with the Task Force. ^^;; We're waiting for him to show up at the company picnic.

Kaito with ADD... while that would explain somethings, for some reason I find that highly disturbing and scary, knew some kids with ADD when growing up. o_O

We already know he's a choco-holic, which does contain amounts of caffine, but on school mornings after late nights as the Kid, maaaaaaan, those mornings hafta suck. Zombie-time.

-ICKA! the IMP

Caffine in DC-MK and ADD

Well, caffine concerned, my Kaito isn't much of a caffine addict -- IMO, he'd rather sleep in the class is necessary. (OK, I don't suppose Kaito being Hajime [Kindaichi] II.)
The caffine addict in my DC-MK world is actually Shinichi. He seemed to be the type to be.

ADD? Yes, I (and Jessica too) thought that he had ADD -- or deliquency due to his father's death -- since he's over, overly hyper.

ADD and coffee? Most ADD drugs are central neverous system stimulatants. Or else why Ritalin is being abused too? Caffine, in effect, is the same class of things...
