Disclaimer Definitely Not Gosho. He doesn't provide us stuff like this.

She knew something was wrong the minute he showed up on her doorstep looking as prim and proper as any soul could be. His poker face was up, but in a way that she wondered if he was even aware he was wearing it. Light behind his eyes made her suspect he didn’t even know himself.

Something was wrong.

He didn’t set things up like this. He didn’t call her days before for a date and then not show up to buzz around her house like an annoying fly between now and then. He was spontaneous and unpredictable. Kaito making plans meant something bad had happened.

Except she really didn’t know how things could get any more complicated.

He was KID. She was the daughter of the man trying to catch him. She’d almost killed him for it. He’d forgive her. A year later they were happily dating, and life had been bumpy but for the most part alright.

And now he was back on her doorstep like he had been right after she’d found out. When he’d been ready to bite the bullet if it meant she could get a good night’s sleep. Things were hard enough without more complications, so what was it this time?

Then a traitorous little thought bubble popped up in her head, something that had come to her time and again, What if I’m not enough?

He was KID. He was one of the most sought after magicians in Japan. He did have any woman he wanted at his beck and call. So why her?

Except…

Perhaps she was just being silly.

They ended up going to one of the nicer restaurants, but she was well aware the meal was far more tense than usual. He tried to make her smile, but somehow his tricks didn’t hold the passion they had before.

She began worrying something was seriously wrong.

By the time they’d finished their date and he had her back to her apartment she knew some type of bomb was going to be dropped. She stood out on the street looking back at him and observed him closely for the first time all night.

His circles were darker, and his eyes a deeper shade of blue. His hands were hiding in his pockets, and he seemed to be looking beyond her with his thoughts not quite in the present.

She’d had enough.

“Alright Kaito what’s wrong-”

“Hey you know-”

Both of them stopped their sentence as the words overlapped, and it was only half a beat more before they both found themselves chuckling a little over the situation.

It didn’t last long though.

Kaito made sure of that.

“I don’t think this is working,” the words sliced through her like a knife. It sounded ridiculous, after all things had been working perfectly. She could see that, she knew him better than that.

“What are you talking about?”

He had his head turned away from her, and that action irritated her to no end. If he was going to end it like this then he could damn well look at her.

“Don’t turn away from me!”

“I don’t want to hurt you any worse than I have to, but I think its better if we stop seeing each other-” they sounded foreign coming from his mouth. Rehearsed. Dead. Not the sort of banter or speech that he’d given her since they were children.

“What?!”

Unfortunately her emotions were untying her wits, and eloquence wasn’t top on her list at the moment.

She saw another shadow run through his eyes and he was turning away again, “I just… I don’t think this is working Aoko.”

“Working? Kaito two days ago we were talking about-”

“Well perhaps I was lying. Perhaps I didn’t want to spoil it for you hmm? In case you didn’t notice I’m quite an accomplished liar especially around you,” and there was another slap across her face. Another word slamming into her chest.

She couldn’t even respond that time, for that matter she couldn’t even feel hurt.

She felt the pause grow thick and finally he went on, “I found someone else Aoko. She’s… well… I just can’t say no. I shouldn’t have lead you on like this, but its for the better. Really. What type of life would you have lead with me?”

Still no words just anger welling up inside of her as the words poured out of him. “She’s more alluring then Akako ever dared to be, and while you’ll always have a place in my heart you’re just not her understand?” He gave her a smile, “You’re wonderful Aoko, but you deserve someone better. I’m sure your far better suited for someone like Hakuba-”

“Hakuba? Hakuba? What the hell are you playing at Kaito!? Is this some joke because I’m not going to forgive you this time.”

He smiled, “Good. You really should have never trusted me to begin with. I’m a thief you know, but I assure you I’ll always see you as the greatest prize I ever caught.”

It took a moment to sink in before she could really start to believe it. It was too bizarre. Too… too…

“I could turn you in-” she hissed at him.

“Please do. I’d expect you would,” his hands were back in his pockets while he stared up at the sky.

She walked towards him and grabbed his hair and pulled his face down to her level. This wasn’t like Kaito. She knew Kaito. Even if he was to go this was just uncharacteristic. Something else was going on, something else had to be going on. She was almost growling as she looked him in the face and said, “Look at me and tell me you didn’t love me. Tell me none of that mattered, and this is all true.”

For a moment she thought she’d caught him. For a moment she saw a flash of terror in his eyes and what she knew must be the real Kaito. For a moment she honestly believed that he really had made the whole story up for some bizarre reason to save her.

She took the moment and pulled him into a kiss, and she knew she felt him kiss back. Knew that it felt like a last kiss, like a farewell. Knew at that moment that something else had to be going on and he really did love her- Oh how he loved her!

Until he pulled away, looked her in the eye, and said, “I swear on my father’s grave Aoko I meant every word I said before, so please don’t.”

And like that her world came crashing down.

"I'm sorry-" he dragged himself out of her arms and turned away again. "Hey you know I wanted to do this without hurting you, but I-"

"Get out of here..." she whispered harshly. If there was one way to know he was telling the truth well that was it. He'd die before breaking that.

"Take care-"

"Get out of here!" she screamed at him.

He just nodded and turned around walking the opposite way down the street from where she stood in front of her empty apartment building.

She never did see him break the poker face when he was out of her sight, and this time the damage was irrevocable.

No second chances.

Because while Kuroba Kaito was willing to dig his own grave, he'd trade his soul before digging hers.

Author's Note Sorry for the delay, but a severe computer virus of two months, broken laptop screen, and no prolonged internet for just as long as well as a good amount of writers block and you end up with long waits. Oh and the fics stored being eaten by the comp WITH the Virus... the problems not fixed, but I did get this out.

Oh also

Going home tomorrow so no internet for a while... you heard it.

home, mouse, ficcage, 30 kisses, 30_kisses
