Takagi made a little whimpering noise in the back of his throat as he looked around at the stony faced expressions of about half of the Metropolitan Police Force. They were five deep around him and his little corner next to the vending machine, there was no way he was going to get out of this.
"What-" Shiratori, the ringleader, demanded from his impressive looming height. "-Happened during your trip with Satou-san at the Hot Springs?"
The crowd murmured darkly in agreement. Takagi remembered why mobs were considered a dangerous thing.
"n-Nothing!" Takagi squeaked. He quickly cleared his throat and straightened up. "Nothing happened. We went, soaked in the springs and had a good time. That's all. It was completely innocent." He said firmly.
Which was the moment Satou and Yumi walked past the end of the hall, talking between themselves. "-And that's when I lost my towel!" Satou made a hand motion as if grabbing for something that wasn't there and both women broke into ringing peels of laughter as they wandered away, oblivious to the situation Takagi was going on.
The glares intensified as the entire mob slowly turned their heads back in his direction.
Okay, so other than when Satou's towel un-knotted itself and heralding itself to gravity's call, it had been completely innocent.
Kid ducked as the soccer ball missed his head by mere hair's breaths, crashed into the wall behind him him and spun for several seconds before the inertia ran out and it fell to the ground. He let out a low whistle and turned the direction, finding Kudo glaring at him as only someone who is stuck in the body of a six year old can glare.
"What the HELL-" Kudo seethed at him. "-Possessed you to hide your PORN in MY pillow?!"
Okay, first off, technically it hadn't Kid's harlequin romance novels that had been stashed under Kudo's barley filled pillow, they'd been Mamiko-chan's. The ones with the really cheesy illustrations.
And second off, it hadn't been Kid's dare, it'd been Kuroba Kaito's dare. Not that Kudo knew the difference. He'd been supposed to prank Sleeping Kogoro with said romance novels after Kogoro had accused Mamiko's Uncle of something truly stupid during a murder investigation. Which Kogoro had then 'miraculously' solved after abruptly falling asleep.
It appeared that in his haste, he'd hidden the harlequin romance novels in the wrong pillow. Whoops.
Of course, it had been absolutely totally not his fault that there had been a blank Kid note tucked into one of the books, because there was no way that he had been reading said harlequin romance novels because he'd been bored and they were there and strangely addictive in a horrifying car crash sort of way and accidentally used a Kid note as a bookmark because it was at hand, nope.
And now Kudo looked about ready to kill him with laser vision or something. Somehow he didn't think that Kudo's small hands could completely wrap around his throat either. He gave the small detective a smile that was only slightly nervous around the edges. "I don't supposed you'd believe me if I said it wasn't my fault?"
"Nope."
"Damn."

Re: I think I count as a lurker on your journal too.
"-So that's when the waiter says 'Shh! Don't announce it so loud or everyone's going to want a fly in their soup too!'"
Sonoko grinned as Ran's peals of laughter rang out from the cell phone pressed up against her ear. Ran didn't laugh nearly as often as she should. Not nearly as much as she had before Shin'ichi disappeared. Sonoko missed it.
Ran's merriment faded away, dying with a final hiccup. Sonoko smiled to herself as she fell backwards on to her bed, idly staring up at the ceiling and debating sticking those glow-in-the-dark stars up there for the millionth time. She never remembered to do it though, so her ceiling remained boringly plain and unadorned.
They lapsed into silence, the good kind of silence that you can only get with someone who you're comfortable with. She and Ran talked a lot, but they had a lot of quiet moments too.
Sonoko wasn't very comfortable with the silence, but sometimes it was okay. As long as she wasn't alone. Sometimes having a big house wasn't as 'cool' as people thought it was. Big house on a big property meant a big space that was hard to fill up with life.
She'd gotten lost here a lot when she was younger. She'd grown up here, but sometimes it felt... too big. Scarily so. She'd learned to talk a lot to cover the heavy silences, to assure her that she wasn't the only person left on the planet.
Ran had saved her from a lot of that. Ran always found her when she got lost.
"Sonoko?" Ran's voice in her ear was soft and hesitant, but it jolted her out of her thoughts.
"Yeah?"
"Don't ever leave, okay?" Sonoko had to strain to make out her best friend's words.
"Never." Sonoko promised with a fierce sincerity that probably would have startled any else who knew her. Ran had had enough people leave her, first her parents splitting up, then Shin'ichi's disappearance. There had to be someone in Ran's life who didn't leave her, and if Sonoko had to move heaven, hell and earth, she'd do it.
She could hear Ran's sigh over the phone, but it sounded like Ran was smiling again. Sonoko could see it in her mind's eye, the soft tender smile Ran had when she thought people weren't looking. "Thanks."
"Anytime." Sonoko smiled slightly as well. "Just promise me you'll never leave me either, okay?"
"Never." Ran agreed, harsh and strong like a purr from a tigress.
"Good." Sonoko nodded, laying an arm over her eyes, blocking out the view of the empty ceiling. "I'm holding you to that."
Ooooo, that was lovely ^___^ The real strength of the friendship between Ran and Sonoko, and the depth you granted Sonoko that so many people overlook, and the glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars, it's just--! Well, it was exactly right is what it was, and I'm full of warm and happy feelings from it and stuff ♥
Above set-up. PYP 'verse (still my favorite). Either all four boys in on it or them telling Saguru. Because Heiji and Kaito would totally do that together. They would.
Saguru stared at the phone receiver in his hand with consternation. He frowned, lips pinched together as they curled down at the edges as he put the phone to his ear again. "Whomever this is, you are not nearly as amusing as you might think you are."
The heavy breathing sound continued. Saguru let out a huff of annoyance and hung up the phone. Honestly, the sheer stupidity of some people...
The heavy breathing sound didn't stop.
Saguru froze, eyes flickering around as he attempted to locate where the breathing was coming from. Slowly, he turned in a small circle, the breathing right in his ear.
Hallway, dining room, front door, living room, closet. No one there. Feeling paranoid, he looked upwards, checking for phantom thieves hiding in corners. No one there either.
Working on a hunch, he picked up the phone again. The harsh buzz of the dial tone echoed in his ear, barely masking the sound of breathing that was still loud in the room.
Not the phone then. He set the receiver back in the cradle, the small hairs on the back of prickling.
There one was no one in the house save for him. The security system would have alerted him otherwise.
... Unless it was the thrice-damned Kaitou Kid.
"Very funny, Kuroba." He muttered, glancing around to see where the white-clad thief might appear from.
There was a pause in the harsh breathing, then it started again, this time with a strange mocking quality to it that he did not like at all. Thoroughly annoyed, and privately just a tad bit creeped out with visions of spectres haunting his head, he stalked down the hallway, performing a room by room search for where Kuroba might be hiding.
The breathing was a constant noise beside him the entire time.
Temper and nerves fraying, he was just about to start searching the upstairs and debating the merits of contacting someone with more authority than he had when a voice spoke up.
"What are you guys doing with my voice changing bow?"
The echoing silence was almost deafening.
"Kudo? Is that you?" Saguru questioned, directing his inquiry towards the ceiling. The sound of a muted but brief scuffle answered him, followed by the indignant child-like shout of "HATTORI! KUROBA! YOU'RE DEAD!" and the unrepentant muffled laughter of his two mischievous 'cousins'.
On a hunch, he reached back and felt the collar of his shirt until he found one of Kudo's sticker-speakers stuck to it. Ah-ha.
"I will hold them down." He swore darkly as he removed the sticker from his person. "And you can kick them, Kudo."
"I like a nice Gorgonzola." Lina sighed happily as they walked.
Gourry wrinkled his nose. "Not me. Makes your feet smell weird."
Amelia and Zelgadiss exchanged a mutual look, silently inquiring of the other of how exactly Gourry knew this, then just as quickly dismissed it as better off not knowing. Fortunately for them, Lina missed their exchange.
"Well, what kind do you like?" She demanded of the blond swordsman.
"Hmm..." Gourry extended the sound out thoughtfully. "Chedder." He finally decided. "Or Gouda. You can get them in wheels as large as your head! Some of them the size of wagon wheels!"
Amelia bit her lower lip. Zelgadiss turned his attention to the clouds above.
"Now that's something to look for." Lina cheered. "Cheese as large as a wagon wheel!"
"I wonder if you could use it as a wheel..." Gourry mused. "In case a wheel breaks."
"Who cares?!" Lina cheered. "Think how long it would take to eat it!"
"I like a nice Edam." Amelia confided quietly to Zelgadiss. "On savoury crackers."
"Edam's nice, but I prefer a Brie on crackers." Zelgadiss admitted back. "Nothing blue-veined."
Amelia wrinkled her nose and nodded. No stinky cheeses, she'd leave that for Lina. Although some nice Swiss melted on some toast would be a nice snack right about now.
"Ooo-shaw!!!" Lina cheered, having come to some sort of decision. "Let's go find the Largest Wheel of Cheese in the World!" 'And eat it' was the silent part.
"But first!" Gourry proudly pulled out a wedge of cheese out of his pack and held it up. "Snack Time!"
