He sat down the still somewhat shocked young woman. He wasn’t sure to begin for one, although the scare of nearly being burned to bits seemed to have completely worn off at this point.

He still couldn’t believe she actually played with the flames after the incident. Most people would have simply run away screaming, regardless how much they saw him do his “magic.”

Most of it was still mirrors and smoke, only KID really used real Magic, and that was only in real need. It had come in quite handy when making a variety of gadgets though, but usually he never needed real magic on stage when there was a partner involved.

There was never a purpose…

But there she was … sitting in the middle of the stupid bonfire that his contraption had erupted in and let the flames run up and down her arm while nearly giggling.

Something had to have snapped, of course if he’d been any wiser he wouldn’t have done it like that. Putting out the flames, making it rain on stage, having her drop through the stage, all of these would have worked far better then just adding that barrier over her skin—

He had been a little more worried about losing Aoko, then of notifying the whole world about the underground society of magic wielders.

Aoko was now watching him, obviously curious and perhaps a little angry. He was personally trying to figure out if this was going to be better or worse then his talk about “Hello! I’m your best friend, now let me explain why I’m moonlighting as Kaitou KID!”

That hadn’t gone so well.

Maybe if he conjured some more of those flames for her to play with, or put some in a jar so she could take them out when she was bored? She seemed to be fond of the little tongues of fire, although given she was primarily fire natured it made quite a bit of sense.

Personally he was more air—but then air and fire always did work well together.

“I’m waiting—“ he realized she was still staring at him and he sighed.

“…Fine… I guess? What should I say… I’m still Kaito yeah? But I’m Kuroba Kaito: Thief, Showman, Magician… and Mage.” He waited as she sat looking thoughtful in her hands.

“And you can do real magic….” She looked a little more nervous now, although she couldn’t quite look up at him.

“Never to harm though! And I usually try not to use it all, I just got caught off surprise and it was my first instinct—to make it so the fire couldn’t hurt you,” if she had gotten hurt—

He may be all sorts of things, but in the end if he was all or none of those he probably needed Aoko most. Headstrong, level minded Aoko who would keep him going even when he wasn’t sure why.

“Ah…”

“Yeah….”

She finally looked up at him again and he was surprised to see a small smile at the corner of her lips, “I don’t suppose you could make more of those flames for me to play with yeah?”

Kaito grinned wider, “Would it mean you wouldn’t kill me? Or run off screaming? Or er… announce it to the world? I’m not exactly suppose to let anyone know.”

“Do I get to take them home with me?”

“Done!”

Author’s Note: Possibly even a cross over, I did have Lackey’s world kind of in my head. This is actually a side scene for another short mini fic giving what happens before this—that will not be part of a 31 days but rather a collection of Magician fics that I have mentioned previously.
