Bloodhound Shinichi stumbled back as the force that was his Kaito hit him. Immediately he brought his arms up to grab him, and swayed so they wouldn't keel over. He gave a grunt, trying to steady himself. Bloodhound Kaito's legs were resting around his hips, arms slung around his neck, and his nose an inch from his face. Bloodhound Shinichi tried not to wince at the happy greeting.
Blithely Bloodhound Kaito went on, “I knew you'd find me!”
Rolling his eyes, Bloodhound Shinichi dropped his Kaito on the floor unceremoniously. “Of course, idiot. I could smell you all. It was obvious.”
The rest of the Shinichis and Conans filed in behind him, giving the downed and grinning Kaito a wide berth.
The moment he saw his brother walk in the room, Shadows Kaito grabbed his arm and the two huddled together, whispering conspiratorially. Mayonaka Kaito's eyes widened as his Shinichi ambled in, also hurrying to his side. He scowled at the other Shinichis and Conans, making Cases Shinichi squeak in surprise and hurry by.
"Hey, you're dooming and glooming again. Everything okay?" he asked the stoic teen quietly. Mayonaka Shinichi's eyes softened just a bit, and his reply was equally soft.
"I'm fine."
"Tantei-inu?" Connected Conan asked curiously. Then he shook his head rapidly, and glared at his Kaito. "Shut up! Never mind! I don't want to know!"
Seduction Conan shoved between the legs of the stupid tall people, sending glares up at them while happily elbowing knees until he found himself face to face with a grinning phantom.
“Stop that,” he deadpanned. “You look like an idiot.”
“Does this mean you have a crush on me, Tantei-kun?” Seduction Kid cooed.
“Don't make me kick your face in,” Seduction Conan shot back in his little boy voice, which made the threat rather creepy.
“Tsk, tsk, so violent!”
“You do know your disguise isn't worth anything, right?”
“I realized that Tantei-kun.”
Meanwhile in a quiet corner a pair of hazy violet eyes looked up, and sighed a soft breath out. Lullaby Kaito could feel that familiar presence dripping into the room like cold rainwater and settling around him. He took a step forward, sneaker squeaking slightly.
“Shinichi...” he murmured, the tone almost plaintive. The temperature in the room plummeted sharply, and the entire lot found themselves able to see their breaths.
Bloodhound Shinichi had started growling again, while his Kaito counterpart was on his feet immediately, card gun in hand and cursing when he saw no familiar glow.
The shadows twisted behind Lullaby Kaito, until they seemed to harden into a figure dressed all in black and shadow. Lullaby Shinichi plastered himself against his Kaito's back, one arm circling his waist and the other dangling over his shoulder. He rested his head on Lullaby Kaito's shoulder, and grinned a knife's edge grin while luminous blue eyes took in the gathering.
Mayonaka Kaito immediately stepped to the front of the group, glaring at the specter. He ignored Mayonaka Shinichi's warning noise of displeasure, instead set himself in a relaxed pose, eyes taking in the twisted pleasure on Lullaby Kaito's face, and the threatening blue gaze now fixed on him.
"Well now, what have we here?" he asked softly, keeping the specter's gaze focused on him.
"Uh, I don't know about you, but this is seriously creeping me out!" Shadows Shinichi said, wide-eyed as he huddled in his brother's embrace. Seduction Kid had pushed his Conan back to Cases Shinichi and Connected Conan, but didn't draw his own card gun. If his counterparts thought they could take on a ghost, he'd trust in them.
"Maybe we should....leave?" Cases Kaito suggested warily, when it appeared the apparition nor his...partner were going to answer.
"I think that's a good idea," Connected Kaito said, and Connected Conan had already edged his short counterpart and Cases Shinichi out the door. One by one, they slowly backed out, though Mayonaka Kaito kept staring unflinchingly into that malevolent gaze. Even when Lullaby Shinichi smirked at him and began running a finger down Lullaby Kaito's face, leaving a deep scratch that oozed blood, Mayonaka Kaito showed no reaction.
Bloodhound Shinichi was still growling when it was only him, his Kaito, and the two Mayonakas left in the room. Bloodhound Kaito drew him back, catching Mayonaka Shinichi's eyes for reassurance that it was okay to leave them. Mayonaka Shinichi inclined his head a fraction, and also edged for the door. He wouldn't leave until his Kaito did, but he knew Kaito wouldn't move until he was out of danger.
"Leaving us all alone?" Lullaby Shinichi crooned, flicking a drop of blood at Mayonaka Kaito.
"I think it time I take my leave, yes," Kaito replied, taking a single step back. A wave of black slammed into him, sending him skidding across the floor toward the door. Mayonaka Shinichi wasted no time in hauling him up and dragging the limp form out the door, where Bloodhound Kaito slammed it shut. Once again the door melted into nothing, and Bloodhound Shinichi's growl cut off.
“I hate ghosts,” Bloodhound Kaito complained. “And my holy powers aren't even working or I'd have had a barrier up.”
Bloodhound Shinichi stalked down the short hall after the retreating group. It seemed they were heading to another room (the one the Shinichi's had started in appeared to have disappeared.) “He wasn't just a ghost Kaito. I could smell the death on him. It was worse than the... the curse smell those two are giving off. I hate curses.”
Bloodhound Kaito winked at his taciturn partner and spirited away his card gun again before turning to their Mayonaka counterparts, “Is he going to be okay?”
Bloodhound Shinichi hovered behind him, eyeing the strange duo warily. It seemed that they still unnerved him.
Somewhere down the hall the sounds of Seduction Conan hollering something about being pushed around could be heard, followed shortly by the sound of a lilting mocking voice. And, was that something shattering?
Bloodhound Shinichi whipped his head in the direction the rest had gone and sighed, pressing his fingers to his temples. He, after all, could hear everything clearly.
"M'Fine..." Mayonaka Kaito mumbled, clutching at his chest and hiding it from view. Mayonaka Shinichi's face was wooden as he supported his Kaito along, and once again Bloodhound Shinichi's gaze found its way to the injured teen.
"I smell blood. He had to have hurt you," he grumbled.
"Really missing my powers right about now," Bloodhound Kaito sighed, and the quartet emerged into the middle of chaos.
The number of Kids appeared to have multiplied, and Seduction Conan was chasing red-faced after two of them swearing loudly.
"Mah mah Tantei-kun! Didn't your mother tell you not to say such things!" Shadows Shinichi as Kid said, grinning and running up a couch to flip back over the boy's head. Conan ran into the cushions with a grunt, and Shadows Kaito as Kid leaned over the back to grin in his face.
A mocking laugh echoed from where Seduction Kid was clinging to a corner of the ceiling and wall, at least until Seduction Conan whirled around, and hit the button on his belt. A second later Seduction Kid was flipping off the wall to avoid the super powered soccer ball flying at him.
The ball bounced off the wall and came flying back toward the others, and would probably have beamed Connection Conan upside the head, had a too-fast-to-be-human intervention in the form of Bloodhound Shinichi stopped it.
Holding the ball in one hand he gave the others a heated glare and snarled frostily, “Can we please stop acting like a bunch of complete morons?!”
Bloodhound Kaito whistled and edged back. He knew that tone all too well. At least, until he realized there was a large picture window just there, and the clouds moved letting a flow of moonlight into the room that sent his Shinichi's Pandora shard shining a brilliant carmine.
Oh dear. That's not good.
Mayonaka Shinichi deposited his Kaito in a chair and sat on the edge of it, scowling at him. Leaning down close he muttered into his ear, “Haven't we discussed this?” He glanced up at the sudden, familiar, glow and blinked in surprise at Bloodhound Shinichi standing in the middle of the room. “Hmm...”
"Holy--"
"--Crap. Is that--"
"PANDORA?!" Started by Shadows Shinichi and Kaito, the room shook with the chorus of disbelief from every Kaito's (and Kid's) mouth.
"Uh--" Bloodhound Shinichi's eyes went wide as he was suddenly leapt at from every angle. A startled yip was torn from his throat as he ducked and scrambled, twisting out of the Kaitos' grasping hands. "HEY! Stop that! It's not--" his sentence cut off as a hand (and he couldn't tell which) succeeded in undoing the clasp of the collar, and he felt the familiar steam rise from his body as it melted away.
Seduction Conan and Connected Conan exchanged incredulous stares as the pile of Kaitos froze at a long, loud growl in their midst. A moment later, the messy haired teens scattered (Shadows Kaito losing his Kid top hat in his rush) as Sherlock began snarling and snapping at their ankles, shirt still hanging half off the thin body.
Bloodhound Kaito was on the ground, laughing so hard tears were rolling down his face, and Cases Shinichi just looked on in disbelief. Mayonaka Shinichi reached out a hand to push Shadows Shinichi away from careening into the chair Mayonaka Kaito was still slumped in.
"What the heck happened?!" Connected Kaito asked, shrieking and leaping onto a table as Sherlock snapped at his leg.
"You...you...oh gods I can't breathe! You just pissed off...the wrong detective!" Bloodhound Kaito gasped out between howls of laughter. Sherlock paused in his quest for revenge to give him a baleful look, and bloodhounds are good at baleful.
The dog gave a hard shake to get the shirt off before prowling off along the room, sending blue eyed looks at all of the Kids and Kaitos in various levels of 'get off the ground.' They looked rather like a bunch of treed cats.
Finally giving a final snap at Seduction Kid's dangling ankle (and taking rather devious pleasure in the yelp it caused) Sherlock prowled back over to his Kaito and promptly sat on his chest to stop the laughing. Bloodhound Kaito let out a great wheeze and tried to shove the dog off of him.
“Okay, yeah, I don't mind being a kid anymore,” Seduction Conan muttered sardonically.
A few heads nodded in agreement.
Sherlock twisted his head around and gave them as dirty a look as that sad face could afford.
“Sherlock?” Bloodhound Kaito gasped. “Off?” Then at the annoyed look he received, “Please?”
With a haughty sniff the dog got off him and lifted his nose, sniffing at the air as if trying to figure out where his collar had gone. Bloodhound Kaito rolled to his knees, and with a rather sneak grin reached over and shoved Sherlock onto his back before proceeding to scratch the dog's stomach. Much to Sherlock's horrified mortification one back leg started thumping.
Muffled snickers came from all around the room.
Shadows Shinichi grinned from his death cling of the curtain rod, shifting so he could slip a hand into his pants pocket. He blinked, frowned, and searched deeper and more frantically.
"You know...if you're that desperate for relief, your brother is hiding on the fan," a dry voice said below him, as Seduction Conan smirked up at him.
"But...it's gone!" he cried, before his mind caught up with his mouth. He scowled down at the chortling boy, sticking his tongue out childishly.
"Okay, so what did happen there?" Cases Shinichi asked, approaching the happy dog and grinning Bloodhound Kaito warily. At the other's inviting grin, he crouched down and tentatively gave the exposed belly a scratch, a shy grin spreading across his face. Bloodhound Shinichi wanted to die of mortification, but oooohhh, that felt good....
"The apotoxin had a different effect on him. Meet Sherlock," Bloodhound Kaito said, gesturing at the prone form. Three starry eyed gazes fixed on the dog, and even Mayonaka Shinichi looked up from whatever he was studying so intently.
"Why does that not surprise me?" Connected Kaito whined, sliding off the table cautiously. When Sherlock made no move (Connected Conan and Seduction Conan had also gathered around. Who knew; Shinichi really did like dogs), the others also crept back to floor level.
“It's not his fault,” Bloodhound Kaito said cheerfully. “Mouri-san named him actually.” Not that Bloodhound Kaito was at all fooled when Shinichi tried not to show that he loved his name. He'd seen him preening over it, damn it! “Don't worry, he's a loveable ball of wrinkles anyway.”
A half hearted grumble from the dog in question tried to disprove that, but with so many people petting him (and oooh, someone was scratching his ears) Sherlock was loooong gone to that little world of Happy Doggy Bliss.
Bloodhound Kaito sat back, grinning as the two Conan's moved in to take his place. His Shinichi was going to, ah, put him in the doghouse over this one, but it was too funny!
A glance to the side had him doing a double take, and then, “Holy shit!”
Boggled, Bloodhound Kaito gaped at Mayonaka Kaito and the, ah gaping chest wound he had that was glowing like a crazy in Pandora's noticeable carmine hue.
Head's whipped around from all over the place and Seduction Conan (apparently finally losing the fight to bring logic into this illogical mess) yelped, “How are you still alive?!”
Mayonaka Shinichi turned a suddenly cold glare on the Conan making him blink.
Seduction Kid stepped forward and plucked Seduction Conan up off the ground by the scruff of his shirt, and held him out at arms length to keep the flailing legs from kicking him in the face.
“That was hardly polite,” Seduction Kid chided playfully.
Seduction Conan made some inarticulate sound of rage.
"Nevermind!" Cases Shinichi said, scrambling for the armchair and the injured teen. "He's going to bleed to death!"
"Uh, we'd just like to point out the really creepy--" Shadows Shinichi began.
"--Red glow that looks an awful lot like Pandora," Shadows Kaito finished, pointing at said glow.
"He will not die from this," Mayonaka Shinichi said softly, staring unseeingly at the wall and pointedly keeping his face turned away from the others.
"Hey...now. Quit being...so morbid!" Mayonaka Kaito said painfully, squeezing his Shinichi's leg. Mayonaka Shinichi looked down at him, and the others shifted nervously as they just stared at each other. Finally Mayonaka Shinichi brought his hand up, the collar he'd pilfered from Shadows Shinichi's pocket dangling limply.
"I thought...it might help..." he mumbled, as the Pandora shard glinted in the moonlight.
"Hey, that's not a good idea!" Connected Kaito and Conan chorused, panicked looks on their faces.
"Magic gems are no good at all!" Connected Conan continued heatedly.
"They'll turn around and bite you in the end!" Connected Kaito added.
"And get your own Pandora!" Bloodhound Kaito added, swiping the collar from Mayonaka Shinici's grasp. "I worked hard for this!"
"You managed to pick my pocket?!" Shadows Shinichi cried in distress. His brother patted him sympathetically on the shoulder, as Seduction Kid sighed and drew out a compact first aid kit.
"Whether he will die or not, it would be better to see that he is comfortable at least," he said, pressing it into Mayonaka Shinichi's hand. Mayonaka Shinichi looked down at it, almost as if he couldn't comprehend what it was for.
After a moment of staring at it, and trying to remember the last time he'd used a first aid kit, Mayonaka Shinichi finally accepted the thing. He knew well enough that his Kaito would be fine, but... He turned to regard Mayonaka Kaito somewhat sternly before reaching over and peeling aside his shirt to get at the wound.
“He's right.” The tone brooked no argument.
Bloodhound Kaito moved over, shooing Shinichi's and Conan's out of his way and slipped the collar around Sherlock's neck. There was a swell of steam and, as it cleared, a naked Shinichi was revealed blushing every shade of red imaginable.
“I'm going to kill you all,” Bloodhound Shinichi informed them calmly. “With a smile on my face.”
"Uh, hate to break up the party and all," Cases Kaito piped up suddenly, looking around the room. "But a whoooole bunch of doors just appeared along the walls." Looking around, the others saw the bands of light creeping along the wall, forming six doorway. The wall shimmered, and then vanished. Six new figures stumbled into the room.
"Oh gods, not him!" Shadows and Connected Kaito groaned in unison.
"Oh my...this is hell, isn't it?" one of the Hakubas said, looking around the crowded room in horror.
"I've been here all of six point five seconds, and I already want to leave," another muttered, dropping his head in his hands.
"Good idea!" Shadows Kaito said eagerly. "So, who here thinks he's my brother?" he asked, jerking a thumb at Shadows Shinichi. One of the Hakubas turned his head toward him.
"I'll take that to mean you belong with me," he said, before his eyes widened in surprise. "AHA! I KNEW IT!" he cried, pointing an accusing finger at the pair still half dressed in their Kid outfits.
"Yes yes, but this is just a crazy dream you're having, so of course we appear as Kid!" Shadows Shinichi said, slinging an arm around his shoulder as he and his brother man-handled the protesting detective back through the doorway.
"Oh!" Shadows Shinichi said, halting abruptly just before they passed through the door. His brother looked at him in surprise as Shinichi released the stunned Hakuba, darting back to the other Shinichis. "HEY BRO! THINK THIS IS HOT?" he called over his shoulder, hauling the first Shinichi at hand toward him and kissing him passionately. Bloodhound Shinichi (covered only by a blanket one of the Conans had handed to him) went absolutely red, and Shadows Shinichi grinned and winked when he released him.
Shadows Kaito was howling with laughter, but managed a high five with his brother before all three staggered through the doorway. When they passed through, the doorway vanished again. The room was silent for a moment as everyone stared in shock at the blank wall.
"So, that's how it works?" Seduction Kid mused, finally deciding just to pretend it never happened. The others seemed content to follow suit, though Bloodhound Shinichi remained silent and cherry-faced.
"How what works?!" Seduction Conan wailed, still dangling limply in the thief's grasp.
"Do the words 'duct tape' mean anything to one of you?" Kid asked, ignoring the boy. Seduction Conan went red and groaned, causing Kid to chuckle and one of the Hakubas to sigh and raise their hand.
"That would be me, I think. Shall we go then?" he offered, just wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
"After you, Tantei-san," Seduction Kid crooned.
"Don't I get any say in this?" Seduction Conan griped, and any reply was lost as the trio disappeared.
"How 'bout chocolate sundaes? That ring a bell?" Connected Kaito asked cheerfully, pulling his own Conan close.
"Here," a Hakuba sighed, and that trio also vanished.
"Any Hakuba here know me as Conan?" Cases Shinichi asked tiredly, grinning softly as his Kaito slung an arm around his shoulder.
"I believe our exit is here, Kudou-san," another Hakuba said. He waited until the pair had passed through the door, before giving one last glance around and shaking his head. Then he vanished, along with the portal.
"I believe you two are with me," Bloodhound Hakuba said, gesturing at the half clothed Shinichi and Kaito hovering nearby. "It's not the first time Kudou-san has appeared mostly naked."
"How rude!" Bloodhound Kaito cried in mock indignation, then yelped and scurried through the door as his Shinichi growled.
"If I never see another mirror again..." Bloodhound Shinichi mumbled, following Hakuba through the door. Left alone, Mayonaka Hakuba went to help Shinichi support Kaito.
"How you two get into these situations, I'll never know..." he said, and in a flash of light, the room was once again empty.
***
In the quiet of the room, a faint dripping sound could be heard. Though empty, the room was filled with malevolence. On the wall were wet words scrawled carelessly in a sticky red substance.
Death walks here...

A mocking laugh echoed from where Seduction Kid was clinging to a corner of the ceiling and wall, at least until Seduction Conan whirled around, and hit the button on his belt. A second later Seduction Kid was flipping off the wall to avoid the super powered soccer ball flying at him.
The ball bounced off the wall and came flying back toward the others, and would probably have beamed Connection Conan upside the head, had a too-fast-to-be-human intervention in the form of Bloodhound Shinichi stopped it.
Holding the ball in one hand he gave the others a heated glare and snarled frostily, “Can we please stop acting like a bunch of complete morons?!”
Bloodhound Kaito whistled and edged back. He knew that tone all too well. At least, until he realized there was a large picture window just there, and the clouds moved letting a flow of moonlight into the room that sent his Shinichi's Pandora shard shining a brilliant carmine.
Oh dear. That's not good.
Mayonaka Shinichi deposited his Kaito in a chair and sat on the edge of it, scowling at him. Leaning down close he muttered into his ear, “Haven't we discussed this?” He glanced up at the sudden, familiar, glow and blinked in surprise at Bloodhound Shinichi standing in the middle of the room. “Hmm...”
"Holy--"
"--Crap. Is that--"
"PANDORA?!" Started by Shadows Shinichi and Kaito, the room shook with the chorus of disbelief from every Kaito's (and Kid's) mouth.
"Uh--" Bloodhound Shinichi's eyes went wide as he was suddenly leapt at from every angle. A startled yip was torn from his throat as he ducked and scrambled, twisting out of the Kaitos' grasping hands. "HEY! Stop that! It's not--" his sentence cut off as a hand (and he couldn't tell which) succeeded in undoing the clasp of the collar, and he felt the familiar steam rise from his body as it melted away.
Seduction Conan and Connected Conan exchanged incredulous stares as the pile of Kaitos froze at a long, loud growl in their midst. A moment later, the messy haired teens scattered (Shadows Kaito losing his Kid top hat in his rush) as Sherlock began snarling and snapping at their ankles, shirt still hanging half off the thin body.
Bloodhound Kaito was on the ground, laughing so hard tears were rolling down his face, and Cases Shinichi just looked on in disbelief. Mayonaka Shinichi reached out a hand to push Shadows Shinichi away from careening into the chair Mayonaka Kaito was still slumped in.
"What the heck happened?!" Connected Kaito asked, shrieking and leaping onto a table as Sherlock snapped at his leg.
"You...you...oh gods I can't breathe! You just pissed off...the wrong detective!" Bloodhound Kaito gasped out between howls of laughter. Sherlock paused in his quest for revenge to give him a baleful look, and bloodhounds are good at baleful.
The dog gave a hard shake to get the shirt off before prowling off along the room, sending blue eyed looks at all of the Kids and Kaitos in various levels of 'get off the ground.' They looked rather like a bunch of treed cats.
Finally giving a final snap at Seduction Kid's dangling ankle (and taking rather devious pleasure in the yelp it caused) Sherlock prowled back over to his Kaito and promptly sat on his chest to stop the laughing. Bloodhound Kaito let out a great wheeze and tried to shove the dog off of him.
“Okay, yeah, I don't mind being a kid anymore,” Seduction Conan muttered sardonically.
A few heads nodded in agreement.
Sherlock twisted his head around and gave them as dirty a look as that sad face could afford.
“Sherlock?” Bloodhound Kaito gasped. “Off?” Then at the annoyed look he received, “Please?”
With a haughty sniff the dog got off him and lifted his nose, sniffing at the air as if trying to figure out where his collar had gone. Bloodhound Kaito rolled to his knees, and with a rather sneak grin reached over and shoved Sherlock onto his back before proceeding to scratch the dog's stomach. Much to Sherlock's horrified mortification one back leg started thumping.
Muffled snickers came from all around the room.
Shadows Shinichi grinned from his death cling of the curtain rod, shifting so he could slip a hand into his pants pocket. He blinked, frowned, and searched deeper and more frantically.
"You know...if you're that desperate for relief, your brother is hiding on the fan," a dry voice said below him, as Seduction Conan smirked up at him.
"But...it's gone!" he cried, before his mind caught up with his mouth. He scowled down at the chortling boy, sticking his tongue out childishly.
"Okay, so what did happen there?" Cases Shinichi asked, approaching the happy dog and grinning Bloodhound Kaito warily. At the other's inviting grin, he crouched down and tentatively gave the exposed belly a scratch, a shy grin spreading across his face. Bloodhound Shinichi wanted to die of mortification, but oooohhh, that felt good....
"The apotoxin had a different effect on him. Meet Sherlock," Bloodhound Kaito said, gesturing at the prone form. Three starry eyed gazes fixed on the dog, and even Mayonaka Shinichi looked up from whatever he was studying so intently.
"Why does that not surprise me?" Connected Kaito whined, sliding off the table cautiously. When Sherlock made no move (Connected Conan and Seduction Conan had also gathered around. Who knew; Shinichi really did like dogs), the others also crept back to floor level.
“It's not his fault,” Bloodhound Kaito said cheerfully. “Mouri-san named him actually.” Not that Bloodhound Kaito was at all fooled when Shinichi tried not to show that he loved his name. He'd seen him preening over it, damn it! “Don't worry, he's a loveable ball of wrinkles anyway.”
A half hearted grumble from the dog in question tried to disprove that, but with so many people petting him (and oooh, someone was scratching his ears) Sherlock was loooong gone to that little world of Happy Doggy Bliss.
Bloodhound Kaito sat back, grinning as the two Conan's moved in to take his place. His Shinichi was going to, ah, put him in the doghouse over this one, but it was too funny!
A glance to the side had him doing a double take, and then, “Holy shit!”
Boggled, Bloodhound Kaito gaped at Mayonaka Kaito and the, ah gaping chest wound he had that was glowing like a crazy in Pandora's noticeable carmine hue.
Head's whipped around from all over the place and Seduction Conan (apparently finally losing the fight to bring logic into this illogical mess) yelped, “How are you still alive?!”
Mayonaka Shinichi turned a suddenly cold glare on the Conan making him blink.
Seduction Kid stepped forward and plucked Seduction Conan up off the ground by the scruff of his shirt, and held him out at arms length to keep the flailing legs from kicking him in the face.
“That was hardly polite,” Seduction Kid chided playfully.
Seduction Conan made some inarticulate sound of rage.
"Nevermind!" Cases Shinichi said, scrambling for the armchair and the injured teen. "He's going to bleed to death!"
"Uh, we'd just like to point out the really creepy--" Shadows Shinichi began.
"--Red glow that looks an awful lot like Pandora," Shadows Kaito finished, pointing at said glow.
"He will not die from this," Mayonaka Shinichi said softly, staring unseeingly at the wall and pointedly keeping his face turned away from the others.
"Hey...now. Quit being...so morbid!" Mayonaka Kaito said painfully, squeezing his Shinichi's leg. Mayonaka Shinichi looked down at him, and the others shifted nervously as they just stared at each other. Finally Mayonaka Shinichi brought his hand up, the collar he'd pilfered from Shadows Shinichi's pocket dangling limply.
"I thought...it might help..." he mumbled, as the Pandora shard glinted in the moonlight.
"Hey, that's not a good idea!" Connected Kaito and Conan chorused, panicked looks on their faces.
"Magic gems are no good at all!" Connected Conan continued heatedly.
"They'll turn around and bite you in the end!" Connected Kaito added.
"And get your own Pandora!" Bloodhound Kaito added, swiping the collar from Mayonaka Shinici's grasp. "I worked hard for this!"
"You managed to pick my pocket?!" Shadows Shinichi cried in distress. His brother patted him sympathetically on the shoulder, as Seduction Kid sighed and drew out a compact first aid kit.
"Whether he will die or not, it would be better to see that he is comfortable at least," he said, pressing it into Mayonaka Shinichi's hand. Mayonaka Shinichi looked down at it, almost as if he couldn't comprehend what it was for.
After a moment of staring at it, and trying to remember the last time he'd used a first aid kit, Mayonaka Shinichi finally accepted the thing. He knew well enough that his Kaito would be fine, but... He turned to regard Mayonaka Kaito somewhat sternly before reaching over and peeling aside his shirt to get at the wound.
“He's right.” The tone brooked no argument.
Bloodhound Kaito moved over, shooing Shinichi's and Conan's out of his way and slipped the collar around Sherlock's neck. There was a swell of steam and, as it cleared, a naked Shinichi was revealed blushing every shade of red imaginable.
“I'm going to kill you all,” Bloodhound Shinichi informed them calmly. “With a smile on my face.”
"Uh, hate to break up the party and all," Cases Kaito piped up suddenly, looking around the room. "But a whoooole bunch of doors just appeared along the walls." Looking around, the others saw the bands of light creeping along the wall, forming six doorway. The wall shimmered, and then vanished. Six new figures stumbled into the room.
"Oh gods, not him!" Shadows and Connected Kaito groaned in unison.
"Oh my...this is hell, isn't it?" one of the Hakubas said, looking around the crowded room in horror.
"I've been here all of six point five seconds, and I already want to leave," another muttered, dropping his head in his hands.
"Good idea!" Shadows Kaito said eagerly. "So, who here thinks he's my brother?" he asked, jerking a thumb at Shadows Shinichi. One of the Hakubas turned his head toward him.
"I'll take that to mean you belong with me," he said, before his eyes widened in surprise. "AHA! I KNEW IT!" he cried, pointing an accusing finger at the pair still half dressed in their Kid outfits.
"Yes yes, but this is just a crazy dream you're having, so of course we appear as Kid!" Shadows Shinichi said, slinging an arm around his shoulder as he and his brother man-handled the protesting detective back through the doorway.
"Oh!" Shadows Shinichi said, halting abruptly just before they passed through the door. His brother looked at him in surprise as Shinichi released the stunned Hakuba, darting back to the other Shinichis. "HEY BRO! THINK THIS IS HOT?" he called over his shoulder, hauling the first Shinichi at hand toward him and kissing him passionately. Bloodhound Shinichi (covered only by a blanket one of the Conans had handed to him) went absolutely red, and Shadows Shinichi grinned and winked when he released him.
Shadows Kaito was howling with laughter, but managed a high five with his brother before all three staggered through the doorway. When they passed through, the doorway vanished again. The room was silent for a moment as everyone stared in shock at the blank wall.
"So, that's how it works?" Seduction Kid mused, finally deciding just to pretend it never happened. The others seemed content to follow suit, though Bloodhound Shinichi remained silent and cherry-faced.
"How what works?!" Seduction Conan wailed, still dangling limply in the thief's grasp.
"Do the words 'duct tape' mean anything to one of you?" Kid asked, ignoring the boy. Seduction Conan went red and groaned, causing Kid to chuckle and one of the Hakubas to sigh and raise their hand.
"That would be me, I think. Shall we go then?" he offered, just wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
"After you, Tantei-san," Seduction Kid crooned.
"Don't I get any say in this?" Seduction Conan griped, and any reply was lost as the trio disappeared.
"How 'bout chocolate sundaes? That ring a bell?" Connected Kaito asked cheerfully, pulling his own Conan close.
"Here," a Hakuba sighed, and that trio also vanished.
"Any Hakuba here know me as Conan?" Cases Shinichi asked tiredly, grinning softly as his Kaito slung an arm around his shoulder.
"I believe our exit is here, Kudou-san," another Hakuba said. He waited until the pair had passed through the door, before giving one last glance around and shaking his head. Then he vanished, along with the portal.
"I believe you two are with me," Bloodhound Hakuba said, gesturing at the half clothed Shinichi and Kaito hovering nearby. "It's not the first time Kudou-san has appeared mostly naked."
"How rude!" Bloodhound Kaito cried in mock indignation, then yelped and scurried through the door as his Shinichi growled.
"If I never see another mirror again..." Bloodhound Shinichi mumbled, following Hakuba through the door. Left alone, Mayonaka Hakuba went to help Shinichi support Kaito.
"How you two get into these situations, I'll never know..." he said, and in a flash of light, the room was once again empty.
***
In the quiet of the room, a faint dripping sound could be heard. Though empty, the room was filled with malevolence. On the wall were wet words scrawled carelessly in a sticky red substance.
