The Bet



“I have a proposition for you.” The two said together one day as they were bored and didn’t know what to do. Kuroba Kaito hated being bored, and he KNEW that Suzuki Sonoko hated it almost as much.

“Ladies first.” Kaito said with a grin as he looked at his almost six month old girlfriend with his beautiful indigo coloured eyes, but she wasn’t going to say that right now, she was too bored and she wanted to get this proposition out.

“So, I propose that we make a bet with each other, it could be entertaining, fun, and could keep us both out of trouble, well at least for the most part. The idea is to abstain from doing something for a whole day, and if you can do it then I do something for you, if you can’t you have to do something for me, I think this could be fun.”

“Abstaining from something for a whole day huh? I can do that, so what’s the task you want me to try to do?” he asked.

“No pranking anyone for an entire day.”

Kaito sputtered suddenly, “Wait a minute, you want me to not prank anyone for an entire day?”

“That’s the idea, especially the stuffy, wiseass, british guy who tries to act like Shinichi, but epically fails, plus he’s a bit of a douchebag.” She said.

“Okay, well if I have to do this, then you have to do it too.” Kaito didn’t want to think at that moment, then a thought came to him. “Okay, how about this, you have to go around for an entire day….acting like a normal middleclass person. You can’t flaunt the money aspect. If you even pull out your cell phone to call your father for something, you’ll lose. Understood?”

“And the loser does as each other says and stays a secret until we figure out which one wins?”

“You don’t want the job of said person to be mentioned like say if you lose, I can’t say “HA you’re my slave for the rest of your natural life?” sort of thing?”

“I wouldn’t mind that, but that’s the idea, the task of said loser stays secret till the end of the bet.”

“Shake on it?”

The two shook hands and got ready for school. Today was going to be a long day for the two of them.

TEITAN HIGH SCHOOL:

“We made a bet, it’s nothing concrete or anything, but for some teeny feeling I don’t think he can go through with it.” Sonoko said when she went to school and ran into Ran who was still slightly concerned with Sonoko’s situation, with her and this Kaito person.

“You said that you had to do this too, so what’s your end of the deal?” she asked.

“I just have to pretend that I don’t come from big money, seems easy enough.” She said.

Ran’s eyes widened as she attempted not to laugh. “Hold on, so you’re telling me that you have to pretend you’re a regular person for a whole day?”

“Ran, I am a regular person, I just have to pretend I don’t come from a rich family is all, besides…” her voice got quiet. “He probably sent one of his doves with some sort of listening device so that he can make sure I’m living up to my end of the bargain. I just hope he can live up to his end of it.”

Sonoko was right of course, throughout the day as if on cue, one of Kaito’s doves showed up with a listening device on it. “I hope he can live up to it, his end of the bargain, I mean.”

She went through the day, ate a normal lunch (AT SCHOOL which in her mind was against all rules…she almost gave up at this point but she decided she was going to beat Kaito in any way she could.) She put her cell phone away, and adding insult to injury, she never mentioned her extremely rich family life. “I wonder how he’s doing…” she thought to herself.

EKODA HIGH SCHOOL:

Everyone stared, it was a completely new occurrence, the fact that Kuroba Kaito was actually paying attention in class, not pissing anyone off with his pranks, saying loud and annoying things about Hakuba, or even doing things to piss off Aoko.

“What’s your angle?” came a snobby voice from behind him at lunch time when Kaito was going to sneak away to the roof to call Sonoko to see how her day was going so far.

“I don’t know what you mean Hakuba?” he asked him as calm and collected as he could. As much as Kaito hated Hakuba and his increasingly annoying loudmouthishness that just made Kaito want to push him off the roof, he was a good guy when he wanted to be.

“Don’t give me that crap, you’ve been quiet, you’ve been almost like a normal person, you didn’t even try to flip skirts. Aoko’s even nervous.” He said.

Aoko, the only other person other than Sonoko that he truly cared for in any way, suddenly came up to the roof as well. “So, why the hell are you being all normal for!?!?!”

“Fine, fine, Sonoko bet me that I couldn’t prank anyone for a day, and I bet her that she couldn’t go without talking about her lifestyle for the day.”

“Oh, that’s right. I forgot about about your girlfriend.” Hakuba said with a snigger. “How is your biggest fan anyway?” he said getting close so that Kaito was the only one who could hear him.

“Hakuba! TOO CLOSE!” he yelled. “I don’t know what you like to do with your time, but blaming Sonoko for your problems with not being able to find KID who I’m NOT by the way, is just ridiculous!” Kaito was getting angry now, he knew what Hakuba was doing. He wanted Sonoko to win the bet, and at the rate he was going there was a chance that it was going to happen.

“Oh, but what if Sonoko knew your secret?” he said trying to egg him on even more than he already was.

She already knows you stupid bastard!

“Get away from me Hakuba…I’m feeling quite uncomfortable right now.” He said.

“Hakuba, get away from him, he’s never been one to like people being so close unless it’s intended.” Aoko said. And it was true as well, he wasn’t one that liked extremely close contact unless it was someone who he cared for.

“So, Hakuba…Are you still seeing that guy from Osaka? The guy who you claim you hate but still go and see every weekend?” Kaito asked when he didn’t move from the spot he was in.

He jumped back, blushed, and sputtered. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Just then Aoko laughed. “I’m calling Sonoko, you seem to owe her a favor.” She said laughing.

Unbeknownst to Kaito he accidentally turned Hakuba’s hair pink. “Damnit! She’s probably going to make me do something unsavory.” He said to himself listening to Aoko laugh as she pulled out her phone and said softly in the phone, “He failed.”

Kaito from across the way heard Sonoko’s “YES!” which he bet could have gotten her into some trouble.

THE NEXT DAY:

Sonoko was sitting up in their tree. “I know what I want you to do.” She said smiling.

“What would that be?” he asked

“I was at the convenience store picking up a few things to make for dinner tonight, and I saw the brat and his misfit friends in there. And my god, that little chubby kid bought out the chocolate counter.”

“I don’t see where you’re going with this but go on.”

“I want you to steal the chocolate so we can have it, I mean how often is it that we get to indulge ourselves?”

“You want me to use my thieving ability for chocolate? I like the way you think.” He said softly.

“And I want you to replace them with these.” She said handing him a bag of vegetables. “You come up with the note, that’s your forte.” She said with a smile.

And with that Kaito thought, Losing this bet had benefits after all.
