from past to future
??? Pov:
I sigh as I sadly look up to the sky, it's cloudy tonight so... No moon in sight... I hug my knees close to my chest as I sit inside my dark room all by myself, tho I'm used to this... Tonight felt just more... Extra lonely now that me and him are no longer together...
When I got trap in this form I thought maybe I could stay with him than only to learn that he will go under witness protection program and well... He's good at hiding his tracks... I want to find him again but... Being in a body of a 10 year old... You can only do so little... But than I also put some serious thoughts to my mind as well, the guys who poison me and turn me into a child doesn't know I'm alive, if anything they must be roaming around the streets waiting for their comrades to be release from jail... Tho there could be very little number of them out there... I can't be sure their not highly dangerous individuals, considering my experience with those who are just as dangerous as they are... If they were to know who Kaito Kid really is... My mother... She would be in danger.... Specially if they ever finds out about...
My head was swirling in fear thinking of all the possible things the remaining people of the organisation could do to my loved ones... Was this what he felt like when he first got trap into this mess...? I... I need to calm down and think of a solution to this ... What would he do in this situation? Hmmm well... He stick with being a child and well investigated the organisation on his own, but I don't need to do that anymore bcz both threats has been taken down by the FBI, so the other thing is... Live the life of someone else, make sure no one from your past life could know who you are... Hmmm well now I have to think of a new name and where I should go so everyone I know here wouldn't be in danger... Hmm... Well... It was merely a nickname that a certain young prince gave me but nobody would notice right? If anything people tend to pay attention to bigger things, and I didn't really make myself stand out all that munch... Or did I?
First time I might regret getting dramatic and exciting over things...
So it's decided than, I change my looks and appearance sience my descising skills are still sharp as ever, tho I'll put on contacts to hide my true eye colour but I'll have long bangs and cover my eyes just in case, and went shopping for some new outfit, now that that's done I need something convincing for my new identity... Hmmm...
Ah got it
My name is Edgar Allan Poe, a detective and writer, a solve mystery cases and wrote novels! Perfect! Tho I contemplated about being a detective, if anything I only chose it bcz he is a detective... But I'm sure it'll be alright, I solve many other mysteries before... Murder or other mysteries shouldn't be a problem for me, great, I have a identity now, all I need to do is to go make some official documents for this, that won't be a problem
4 years has pass and everything went smoothly, I moved to America and started my job as a writer and detective and quickly got famous, tho I would love to embrace my game, I made my new persona a person who is afraid of crowds, practically like a shy introvert, so I can't break character, I often collab with the police force and help them solve many perplex cases, just doing all this detective isn't really that bad, I don't mean I like the scene of blood all over the place but the mystery deffinetly is thrilling to solve... Reminds me when he always tries to solve my mysteries... It was always so... Exciting well better than being chase by a certain half Brit... Ugh... I'm glad I got that jerk off my back, anyways this all suddenly change 2 years later when I came back to Japan in Yokohama, I was merely visiting the place when I stumble upon a interesting murder case, I thought I was going to solve it on my own like usual until someone else barge in the scene, a boy I presume could possibly be a year younger than I am, black hair, black vest with a brown cap, he also closes his eyes for some reason, turns out recently he's also a famous detective in Yokohama known as Ranpo Edogawa, Edo... Gawa... He proposed we should challenged each other to see who solves this first and ofcourse I could never refuse, there was something about the way he challenge me that felt... Familiar... But I shrugged off the thought and focus on the mystery, yet in the end I was in great disbelief... He... Defeated me... He dare to defeat me in a duel of detective... With that grin on his face... I shouldn't feel at rage as I am right now and yet for some reason the way he's smiling just like him just boils my blood.... I had return home in utter defeat... That night I smack all the books on my desk off and look at moon gritting my teeth...
Ranpo Edogawa... Mark my words I will have my revenge...
6 years later and I have finally done it! I written a book that will surely defeat him! And my best opportunity to strike was when the guild decided to attack Yokohama for that legendary book, and what I'm about to do here is against our leaders words but I couldn't wait any longer so I send the challenge letter to him, the moment he step threw the door with his coworker I knew it was finally time yet the audacity of him daring to forget who I am!! For the past 6 years of my life- as I try to set up back story he just said "I'm boring him to sleep" the nerve!! I handed him the book that is my challenge, it's nothing too crazy, it's merely a murder mystery like any other novel but with a great twist, the moment I read that out my ability activated and took them both into the book, oh right yes I did have a ability but problem was I wasn't aware of it, if anything I never knew about the existence of "the gifted" or "special abilities" at all, it was up until 1 day when I was in a library reading a book, it just suddenly glow and took me right inside, luckily it was a book of magic tricks so I manage to get out, that's when he told me about them, about abilities and gifted, after the years I started to understand how my ability works and make the most used of it, and now right here in this room I have finally bested Ranpo Edogawa himself!!
He got out, he solved the mystery!!! The crushing shame from those past 6 years has finally return but than he spoke... He did recognise me from that case after all...
From that point onwards we made a agreement, I will work as hard as I can to craft a mystery novel that he will surely not solve!! And so sience than I stop by to the agency multiple times, visited souly so could tell me what he thinks of it, can he solve it or not, but some times the answer was getting predictable, he either solved it or ask for the snacks in my pocket, I was not comfortable with dhim deducting what's in my pocket, sience as I understand his behaviours from his co-workers and the past recent time we spent together, Ranpo is quite rather childish, only snacks and other junk food could bribe or please him to do anything, when he ask for it on the job he practically have the whole agency wrap around his fingers, for some reason I feel included to this.
Tho our rivalry still stands but after a few months it stop feeling like rivalry... No... It felt like something else... Something I haven't felt for a long... Long... Time... I couldn't understand what it is, by the time I'm merely standing in the agency office waiting for Ranpo, he already ran out of there in excitement while a hand on the shoulder was what snap me out of my daze, the bandage hand of the suicidal man of the agency, Osamu Dazai, as recent event revealed, he was once 1 of the Port Mafia executive known as the "demon prodigy" a man with many blood and crimes on his hands, I wonder... Was his past what drove him to the wish of death, when I look at him, he didn't even face me, we were standing opposite to each other and he has a sly grin on his face as he told me this
Dazai: Edgar... you abandoned your first life and go to the next bcz you wanted to find something... Someone but you were so distracted with your new life that you forgotten what it is, I suggest you think carefully on what your move should be, and watch your back, you don't know what really lurks in the shadows... Believe me the Port Mafia should be the least of your concerns
Than he patted my back and walk away, I looked at him in utter shock, he spoke as if he knew who I am! And what he said... Really ring something in me... I have forgotten something... The reason why Im even in the situation I put myself in... I shrug off the thoughts as Ranpo had to ran back inside to drag me out, right I got distracted, tonight is Christmas Eve and I suggested that we go outside together for the holiday season together... He practically ask he to buy him junk food as snacks while his gift for me was a bunch of issues of Sherlock Holmes that I didn't have in my collection! And he even got a gift for Carl! A mini scarf and some small gloves! I can tell Karl likes it allot! And I was estatic! I have been looking all over the country for these books! Than after that we held hands and continue to walk around town together eating food buying drinks until it was time to depart, we stand Infront of a huge Christmas tree as it felt like the star on top was the only thing shinning the entire world up, Ranpo looks up at it as he open his eyes, he Verry rarely opens them outside of work, I never really question why bcz well... I am covering my eyes too... But yet he merely stand there with no expression on his face, just looking at the tree, than he looked around us and than look at our hands holding each other, I started to get worried, even Karl can tell so he hops onto Ranpo head, a thing he does very often when I'm upset
Poe: R-Ranpo... Are you alright? Your dazing out...
Ranpo: w-wha? Huh? Oh yeah... Yeah I'm fine... It's just... Something feels really familiar about this...
Poe: huh?
Ranpo: it's nothing, btw can you help me back now? I hate going by train and walking is starting to be a pain
Poe: ah alright...
I help Ranpo to get to a train station to get him back home sience he also is incapable of doing so, which many finds to be unbelievable considering he's a 26 year old man, as we stand in front of his home and wave each other, he simply give me a very concerning sound of "goodbye" and went inside his home, I wonder if he's sad bcz he want to spend more time for Christmas or that his gift didn't satisfied him... Well now I can't ask no more, I'll have to wait until tomorrow than.
The next morning I was setting up to get ready and go meet Ranpo at the agency, I already have a novel for him to solve, Karl hop on my shoulder and we went ahead to the agency, I walk out of my home and go down the street as I normally do whenever I go to the agency but this time... I haven't even gotten near the agency when suddenly something pull me into a dark alley way, there to my horror I see a group of men dress in Black, I took a step back and take out a book
Poe: who are you people?! Stand back! Ab-
Before I could use my ability against them, 1 of the men shot my hand and made drop the book and some else from behind knock me down, some blood was coming out of my head and vision start to blur... I look at Karl and give him the book
Poe: Karl... G-go... To Ranpo... Hurry...
Karl quickly grab my book and ran off before the men could chase him and as for me...
