Table: A
Prompt: Aloof
Hakuba just come back to hear the bad news. The Kaitou Kid had been shot at next the museum before disappearing again.
The Task Force and the rest of Nakamori's officers had been exceedingly helpful in attempting to track down the perpetrators, for all the good it did. The Kid may not have been their favorite person, but no one certainly wanted the thief dead. At least not by someone else's hand.
Hakuba always been on time, on time to the thefts but he been so busy worldhoping Sari to the fake location Ys gave them to be back on time….Kuroba was his thief, damn it, and he was going to be the one to catch him. On a heist, on a level playing field, finally defeating the bastard in the battle of wits they'd been waging since Saguru had first come to Japan.
Too many facts were missing. Too many questions… Hakuba stared at the wall, running his eyes over the familiar crater that still graced the laboratory wall. Taking in the details and definitions of the jagged edges and crumbling plaster, he felt the same dark anger, the same sinking bitterness. As the old, half-forgotten emotion sparked within his chest, his hand itched for something to throw, something to break. Someone to shot.
Anger boils to the surface. Slowly, steadily. Hakuba's anger is not a hot, red anger, burning and burning and burning until there isn’t even ashes left. It is not swift, not new. No, his anger is old, one that creeps and crawls in to his heart, slowly and unnoticed. It is the anger of repeated frustration and teasing, slowly building. Cold, brittle, freezing him from the inside out. It takes it’s time, and builds up, then spilling out every which way, lashing out at those around you.
Hakuba quickly realized he would shoot the culprit without a second thought if he had the opportunity.
It’s a scary thought.
The boy orders Doyle to lock the door on the laboratory, not to hide him from the world outside, but to keep that anger, that monster growing, inside. Chilling out until it’s safe for everyone and especially for his sanity to get out.
