Chapter Seven: Silent Alter of a Nameless God
“My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession.” -Joaquin Phoenix
Kidoko sat at the small dresser that served as her make-up mirror, staring at the woman that served as her reflection. Every detail was picture perfect, the ideal image of a young blond woman. It was only if you looked under the surface, that you realized what you saw wasn't what was there.
She sighed, drumming her fingers against the top of the dresser, looking away from the image it reflected. It had been a day since she woke up in the unfamiliar room, in an unfamiliar bed. Since then, she had managed to remember what was going on, and why they weren't in their room in Japan. She wasn't sure exactly why she had woken up at all, but had a sinking sensation it had something to do with Lilith's death, which she could barely see in Kiden's memories.
She pushed herself out of her chair as she heard Ask stirring in bed, smiling fondly at the blond teenager before un-packing the case that held his prosthetic limbs, carefully setting them on the recliner chair. Once they were arranged, she started humming as she set up breakfast on the bed, leaning over her boyfriend to gently nibble on his ear, coaxing him awake. She smiled brightly, gently kissing him as his eyes fluttered open, before sliding into bed next to him, curling up against Ask as she adjusted his pillows so that the teenager could sit up.
"I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I ordered you eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes and some weird British breakfast that involves beans." She said, poking at the said beans with her chopsticks before smiling at Ask again, kissing him before offering a strawberry, dipping the cream covered fruit against the teens lips, licking her own as Ask's lips parted and the strawberry passed between them.
She snugged even closer, almost laying on Ask as she cut off a piece of waffle, gently dipping it into the syrup, allowing the sticky fluid to drip onto Ask's lips, stealing a lick before feeding him the bite, licking the droplet that escaped. "You're so cute," she said, giggling as she leaned closer, kissing Ask again, this time not bothering with the food as she hungrily feasted from his mouth. "I love you," she whispered, not bothering to wait for a reply as she kissed him again, Ask's breakfast being sacrificed in order for her to climb fully on her boyfriend, eager to wake him up in a more pleasant manner.

"I love you too," Saguru said with a smile, gently kissing Kaito as the brunette climbed back up the bed. Saguru rolled them slightly so that Kaito was laying next to him, gently petting the other man's body in the afterglow of their morning tryst, stealing gentle kisses as Kaito's breathing calmed down, before simply holding his lover.
Kaito rested against Saguru's sweaty back, humming contently lazily reaching across the blond to steal the case file Saguru had fallen asleep with, flicking it open. He grimaced at a picture of the corpse before flipping quickly past it, instead focusing on the scene and evidence photos. "So why was this case keeping you up?"
Saguru made a face at his boyfriend's idea of pillow talk before pulling Kaito so that the magician was sitting between this thighs, resting against the head board. "I'm just...concerned. There's nothing to go on, excluding the copy cat factor."
"Copy cat?"
Saguru smiled, remembering just how little Kaito really knew about Saguru's culture, except the major things. "These murders have been identical to The White chapel Horror. He's even gone so far as to track down the exact locations...or as near as he can to where the original victims were killed."
"Jack the Ripper..." Kaito mused, staring at the papers in front of him before snorting. "Sure it's not actually the man himself?"
Saguru laughed, holding Kaito close. "I sincerely doubt that the man waited one hundred plus years to start killing again...if he was even still alive."
"After Kiden and Akako...I'd believe almost anything." Kaito said, ducking a swat from his boyfriend, cursing as he dropped the file, the papers spreading all over the bed. He frowned as he picked up a picture, staring at the image. "Saguru..."
"Hmm?"
"I know her."
"Of course you do, we've seen her with Kiden."
"No, I mean I know her...outside of Kiden. She was part of that group of victims we met at that FBI grief counseling session. Her parents were American's, murdered in a bar that the BO blew up shortly after Conan met Tequila."
Saguru snatched the photo, staring at the image of the raven haired woman, trying to place her in his memory, not that he remembered much of that time, besides trying to hold Kaito together. "Are you sure?"
Kaito nodded, loosing upset. "I met her for coffee a few times, she wanted to know more about Kiden..."
"Wait a minutes, was she the one I thought you were having an affair with?"
"Yes," Kaito said, elbowing Saguru in the ribs, still aggravated over that incident. Though he couldn't complain too much, the whole bitter fight and too many trips to couples counseling had lead to their date nights...and him finding Kiden again. "She was also the one who reacted rather violently when Anastasia committed suicide when it was discovered Kaitou Kid was really dead, we last saw her at Ana's funeral..." Kaito said softly, now looking sadly at the image in his hand. He had always wondered what had happened to the girl...and now he knew. His friend was dead.

"Heist, heist, oo, shiny lipstick, heist..." Kidoko mumbled, sorting through Kiden's suitcase, stealing the lipstick she found while searching for Kiden's heist notes, the only thing she couldn't get from Kiden's thoughts and memories.
"Damn boy has a bloody safe in his head, oh! Found you!" She grabbed the small folder, making a face at the gibberish written across the pages before straddling a chair, intent on deciphering the notes in order to pull off the heist.
She reached for a lollipop, glancing at the clock on the desk as she did, frowning as she realized she only had five hours to decode the notes and prepare for the heist. Shrugging, she popped the bright red sucker into her mouth, sucking happily as she turned her attention back to the papers, wiggling happily.

"Saguru-kun!" an heavily accented voice called in English.
Saguru turned and grinned, immediately wrapping his arms around the young woman that had called to him, almost squishing the small child in her arms. "Aoko-chan! You didn't tell me you were coming for the heist."
Aoko laughed, shifting the girl in her arms. "We thought we'd surprise you. Boss sent over a team to help with crowd control and we got offered...and then promptly cut loose for the night." she said as a young man joined them, wrapping an arm around Aoko's waist.
"Pierre, it's been a while." Saguru said, shaking the man's free hand.
"There's my darling angel!" a voice called happily, Kaito bounced up to the group, scooping the small child from Aoko's hands, spinning around his god daughter who giggled loudly.
"I see you're in good spirits," Aoko said, giving her best friend a wry look before slipping away from her husband and pulling Kaito away from their related lovers. "I thought you retired." She hissed, taking back her daughter, bouncing the girl.
"I am, I am!" Kaito said, waving his hands in protest. "There's...well..."
"There's well what, Kaito?"
"Kiden is alive." he said softly, not looking up at her, instead staring at his feet.
"Bullshit."
"It's true, I promise!"
Aoko snorted and turned away from Kaito, heading back to her husband, positive Kaito was lying. Kaito sighed, watching her go, wishing that the issue of Kid wasn't still between them.

Saguru glanced at the crowd surrounding the Tower of London, eyes automatically looking for something that would give him a clue to where Kiden was. He frowned, uncomfortable with the fact that anyone could be Kiden, and he couldn't exactly go around yanking at their faces, especially after Edward vetoed the idea, not comfortable with physical aggression against the crowd.
His eyes did another scan, taking note of the leggy brunette who had what looked like a giant blond viking wrapped around her waist, a duo of bald headed muscle men, one of whom was bent over, talking to a petite blonde woman...who turned and winked at Saguru before bouncing off, her long pigtails swinging as she disappeared into the crowd.
Saguru cursed and pushed his way through the crowd, heading after the blond, only to be confronted by the twin muscled boulders. "Excuse me, I need to get through."
The two peered at him, before looking at each other. "We don't speak English." they said together in Japanese, though their voices were accented tellingly with what sounded like an island trace.
"Move, by order of Scotland Yard." Saguru demanded in Japanese, only to have the pair blink at him in confusion.
The blond viking next to them whispered something in Italian and the pair parted, allowing Saguru through.
"Thank you," Saguru murmured, moving past.
"Good luck, Inspector Hakuba," The brunette woman called merrily in Japanese, wiggling her fingers as she and the viking walked off.
Saguru stared, debating whither to follow Kidoko or chase after the couple and demand answers, before turning to head after Kidoko...only to almost trip over a young man in a wheelchair. He blinked down at the boy, frowning. "Kudo Yuki."
"Inspector Hakuba," the teen greeted, before wheeling backwards enough to shift around Saguru. "You won't find her." He called over his shoulder. "Two minutes."
"Two..." Saguru glanced at his pocket watch and cursed, giving up on chasing Kidoko in order to head back to the knot of police officers and other officials who were also checking their watches and cellphones, glancing around nervously.
Saguru joined Kaito, who was shuffling a deck of cards in unique ways, entertaining the nervous officers. He smiled and kissed Kaito's cheek, before stealing the ace of spades from his lover's collar, flicking it into the air. "Cheater. Ready?"
Kaito stopped shuffling, staring up at the historical landmark in thought. "I'm not sure," Kaito said softly, giving Saguru a nervous look. "If you cuff him, let me know so I can drag him home."
Saguru nodded, bending to give Kaito a kiss when he noticed something moving on the top of the Tower. He lifted his head, staring at the nine ravens that were hopping around the battlements, curious as to how all nine got in one place, since the Tower Ravens had free reign of the grounds and it was rather hard to find more then one in one spot.
And then, the unthinkable, at least to the born and raised Briton occurred. The ravens took flight, turning into nine doves as they crossed over the heads of the crowd, each flying off in a different direction.
"Kiden..." Saguru growled, hoping desperately that the idiot thief did nothing to the actual Tower Raven's. The thief in question appeared in a crowd of smoke and confetti, bowing to the cheers of the crowd before leaping off the battlement he had been standing on, a thin wire connected to his back, allowing the lithe thief to repel down the side of the building before finding the window he wanted, merrily crashing through it and promptly knocking two guard to the floor.
Saguru and Kaito were already running into the tower, taking the back stairs up to the room Kiden was in, bursting through the heavy wooden door just as Kiden found that the small box he had been targeting was missing. The thief turned, staring at them before giving a salute, diving back out the window, vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Kaito blinked, coughing through the smoke, before suddenly collapsing, a sleeping dart hanging from his neck. Saguru knelt, shifting Kaito to a better position. "Sorry," he whispered against his lover's ear before holstering his tranquilizer gun, heading back down the stairs at a more sedate pace. He ducked through a room, just as a group of officers went charging up the stairs after getting themselves un-tangled from the silly string and super glue that Ask had managed to get them tangled up in.
"You went through a lot off effort to get me alone, Inspector." Kiden said from the window where he was watching the crowd below who seemed confused by the two different Kids that were running around on the battlements.
Saguru reached out, grabbing Kiden's tie, jerking the thief close, pressing their mouths together harshly, drinking the thief from the mouth down, his hands sliding down to cup Kiden's ass, pressing their hips together hard, shoving Kiden back against the wall as the forgotten feel of the man against him.
Kiden moaned against Saguru's lips, gloved hands sliding up into Saguru's hair, gripping tightly as he pressed his body up against Saguru's, eagerly grinding against the detective as he whimpered, wanting more. It took a moment for him to remember where he was, before pulling away with a gasp, shoving Saguru off of him. "Stop, I can't do this, I have a boyfriend."
"So?" Saguru asked, knowing damn well Kiden had a boyfriend, that little blond twit who had almost ran over his foot earlier.
"So, I'm not going to have an affair with my ex, Inspector." Kiden said, straightening his suit.
"Excuse me?" Saguru said, wondering if he needed to get his hearing checked anytime soon. He couldn't have just heard what he thought he did.
Kiden finished straightening his tie before heading for the door. "I love him, Saguru. It's not worth it to lose him." With that, he gave a bow and vanished through the door, leaving Saguru staring after him.
In the shadows of the hallway, a young teenager wheeled himself backwards and towards the door, turning over what he just heard in his head.

"I've missed you," Kidoko purred in Ask's ear as the teenager finally made it back to their room.
"Oh really?" Ask asked, allowing Kidoko to seat herself in his lap.
"Mmmhmm," She purred, leaning in to nuzzle against Ask's neck, nibbling gently before sucking, gently lapping at the skin. She pulled Ask's head down, kissing him deeply, before pulling away and sliding from his lap, crossing over to the bed.
She crooked her finger at Ask, smiling at the boy followed her, Kidoko helping the teen onto the bed before laying him back against the pillows, straddling his hips with a grin, grinding down against him gently and rolling her hips as she reached under Ask's pillow for the bag of candies he had hid there.
She pulled out a handful, un-buttoning Ask's shirt and pushing it open, dumping the handful between his clavicles before picking one up between her teeth, sliding her body up his as she offered him the candy, their lips meeting before slowly sliding away from each other as Ask ate the heart. Kidoko absently reached to the table behind her, grabbing pill crusher she had put their earlier, grinding up three of the hearts to dust Asks chest with candy powder, lapping at it as the teenager moaned, wiggling under his lover, before Ask pulled Kidoko up, kissing her hungrily as his hands slid under her short tank top, pushing it up over Kidoko's head.
The girl giggled, sucking on Ask's tongue before pulling away, unbuttoning his shirt. "Tomorrow, let's check out of here and head up to Scotland," Kidoko whispered against his neck, biting and sucking on the flesh offered to her.
"Why Scotland?" Ask questioned, slightly breathless by the torture on his neck.
"So we can get married, silly." Kidoko said, before pushing Ask back against the bed, straddling the teens hips, ignoring the dumbstruck expression on his face as she un-zipped his pants.
