Sixteenth Case

[ this is probably about as predatory as you will ever see Kazuha look.

But when it involves certain teenage boy detectives who - for once - aren't her childhood friend, it's probably understandable.

Never mind the fact that she's soaked, sacrifices must be made. ]

Kudo Shinichi. I don't know how long you've been hiding out here, but I'm gonna find you.

[ LIGHTNING CRACKLE ]

And then we're going to have a nice, long talk.

-- Huh??

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't ever miss homework, even if it is the lesser of evils.

[skirtingdanger]

What's wrong with missing it? I know it isn't something most people like to do, but...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

There are other things you can do instead of that!

[skirtingdanger]

Well, it was something I kind of enjoyed doing...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

E-e-enjoyed?!

[skirtingdanger]

Is... is that bad?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's beyond bad. I don't even have words for it.

[skirtingdanger]

[... that wasn't the answer I wanted to hear]

[ there is a very limited amount of people who love homework ]

[skirtingdanger]

But-- Homework's important! I couldn't afford to slack off no matter what back home.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

But the point is that you're not slacking off. And you're definitely not home.

[skirtingdanger]

[shakes head] Nobody gets it!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Are you worried you'll fall behind?

[skirtingdanger]

I can't settle for anything less than being at the top of the class!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Haa.

[skirtingdanger]

I have to try even harder to keep it up now-- nothing would be more embarrassing than the meister of a Deathscythe being unable to keep up with their perfect scores!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

If it's that troublesome, I'll help you.

[skirtingdanger]

No, it's not troublesome... If I continue what I'm doing, I think I'll manage okay.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You're one of the smartest people I know, so you're probably right.

[skirtingdanger]

... ... ... A- ahahaha...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

...?

[skirtingdanger]

Mm, it's nothing! Thanks, Kazuha.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it!

[skirtingdanger]

-- Well... All that aside, I don't mind doing other things, too.
