1. What is your name? 
Hakuba S. J.

2. What is your real name? 
…Hakuba Saguru? Middle name is James. 

3. Do you know why you were called that? 
Well, ‘Saguru’ means ‘to search’ – I think that my father has always wanted me to be a detective… a seeker of truth. My mum wanted me to have a good, Christian middle name, too… as part of my dual heritage. ‘James,’ incidentally, means ‘to take by the heel,’ which is often interpreted as ‘overreacher’ or ‘the print of one’s foot’ … which goes along nicely with ‘to search,’ and even better when you take into account that it may ALSO be interpreted as a horse’s hoof… and ‘Hakuba’ means ‘white horse.’

So. I suppose you could say that I’m the constantly searching, overachieving white horse. That’s fairly accurate, really. 

4. Are you single or taken? 
Single. I like to say that I’m… married to my work.
((He is dating in a couple of storylines… this is where multishipping gets complicated.))

5. Have any abilities or powers? 
Not… really? I’m rather good with math and chemistry, and I do all right as a detective. I can play billiards and tennis, too… Do those count?

6. Stop being a Mary Sue. 
Oh, please, don’t bring that sort of trope into this. If I were a ‘Mary Sue,’ Kaitou KID would have already fallen in love with me. …Not that I want him to. I just, well, if that were the case, it would have happened. You know?

7. What’s your eye color? 
Brown. 

8. How about your hair color?
Sandy blond.

9. Have you any family members? 
Well, yes. I have my father and grandparents in Japan, my Mum, uncles (and their wives and children), and a grandmum in England. No siblings.

10. Oh? What about pets? 
There are two dogs in England with my mum – Mycroft and Irene – but I’ve got my hawk Watson with me in Japan.

11. That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like. 
I’m not exactly fond of duck. I think they’re beautiful animals, but the meat is so oily and it’s often prepared in a way that I just… can’t stand.

12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing? 
Reading, certainly, and working on cases… I’m certain that I’ll be made fun of for this, but I rather like filling out paperwork, too. It’s relaxing.

13. Ever hurt anyone before? 
Aha… Well, I’ve thrown a punch or two in my days, mostly in self-defense… and I’ve had to shoot to disable before… It’s not something that I like to do, however.

14. Ever….killed anyone before? 
Not directly, no.

15. What kind of animal are you? 
I’m human, actually, but if you’re asking what kind of animal I would be if I were… sort of an animal equivalent? The obvious answer would be ‘horse,’ but I think I’m rather more like a dog. A nice, friendly, trusty Golden Retriever. Or a dragon. My mum would tell you that I’m a deer, though. Ugh.

16. Name your worst habits. 
Aha… Substance abuse, one night stands, and being a little bit ‘harsh’ when it comes to calling people out on their glaring errors. 

17. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Oh, plenty of people. Megure-keibu is a fine individual… Kudou Shinichi is a fantastic example of what a detective ought to be… there were plenty of individuals in Scotland Yard, too, that I really idolize.

18. Gay, straight, or bisexual?  
Pansexual, actually. I literally have no preference in regard to gender. 

19. Do you go to school? 
I do, yes. High school, and I’ll eventually go on to university. 

20. Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day? 
I would so love that, yes. Perhaps I’ll have the opportunity later on? Assuming I live that long.

21. Do you have any fanboys/fangirls? 
Unfortunately, yes. They can be quite overbearing at times, as well…. and fan letters take up a great deal of time. Baaya has been collecting them in a basket for me. 

22. What are you most afraid of? 
Judgment day. Or ghosts. Perhaps both. I’m also not fond of large, angry dogs. 

23. What do you usually wear? 
Tailored suits of all sorts. Business, business casual, formal, etc. etc. etc. I’ve also been known to wear my school uniform on occasion, though I’m really not fond of it at all.

24. Do you love someone? 
Yes, but I’m not about to elaborate. 

25. When was the last time you wet yourself? 
Pardon? That’s an odd question… I honestly can’t recall? I was probably very young. 

26. Well, it’s not over yet! 
All right…?

27. What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class) 
I suppose I would be considered ‘high class’ in terms of financial background and upbringing.

28. How many friends do you have? 
I believe I can count them on one hand, but even then, I’m not entirely certain….

29. What are your thoughts on pie? 
Pie is lovely, particularly when the fruit is fresh and hot. Caramel, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream go well on just about any pie served warm. Mmm… alamode. 

30. Favorite drink?
Tea. Definitely tea. 

31. What’s your favourite place?
Paris, France. There are several cafes there that I just adore.

32. Are you interested in someone? 
Yes. I’m actually surrounded by many very attractive and competent individuals; it makes my life very difficult!

33. What’s your bra cup size and/or how big is your willy? 
I am only willing to say that I am properly proportionate, and that my English genes are readily apparent. 

34. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean? 
Lake, certainly. The ocean isn’t nearly as fun. 

35. What’s your type? 
I tend to favor dark hair and light eyes… particularly when the individual is more on the thin/athletic side… 

36. Any fetishes? 
Aha, I’m certain everyone has their particular kinks… as for specific, I’ll let them be discovered~ 

37. Seme or uke? 
Seme, typically.

38. Camping or indoors? 
I love camping, but it’s always so nice to return home. I am a fan of modern, creature comforts. 

39. Are you wanting the quiz to end? 
That would be preferable, yes. I really ought to get back to casework. 

40. Now it’s over! 
Incredible.

nakamori-aoko reblogged your post and added:

A thousand thoughts rushed through her mind, however, in the end it all came to one conclusion: She was nervous. Pretty damn nervous. But why?
Maybe the nasty ring of Kaito’s mean voice still rang in her ears when she told her best friend about the ‘date’. Aoko of course knew very well that Hakuba-kun just askd her due to the fact that they were close friends and nothing more. Actually. But somehow she was puzzled as to why the detective hadn’t asked out Akako-chan. At all events, Kaito made fun of both of them again and didn’t seem to care much that Aoko went out with his arch enemy. Even if she didn’t want to admit it: It bothered the brown haired girl a lot. Why wasn’t this idiot ever jealous? Didn’t he really care at all…?

Nonetheless, now the heart of the teenage girl wouldn’t stop to pound like hell. Of course among other things it was due to the fact that some killer maybe attended this party. Even though Aoko felt quite safe besides the blonde detective, this fact creeped her out a bit.
Saguru and her had a long conversation about his plan, how he would act, what she could do, how they should appear on the scene and so on. It was a pretty detailed schedule. But still – there was another thing which still bothered her:
Did it have some special meaning to him that he had asked her out? Or what could have been his motives? Maybe Ao would find out later. Hopefully.

First of all she had to be concentrated. It wasn’t like the casual parties she had attended before. It was kind of a fancy event and so Aoko had to dress up properly which means: A noble evening gown, uncomfortable high heels and a stupid, senseless but also cute bag, which of course matched with the colour of the gown.

When Hakuba squeezed her, Aoko faintly sighed. “Yeah…”, she answered brusquely and nodded. With his hand on her back, it felt quite bearable for her to deal properly with this unknown situation. Some people immediately glanced over to them, observed the new arrivals and – wasn’t that her father over there, at the bar … already drunk?
“Oh, Hakuba-kun! Why not go over there, huh?”, Aoko promptly said with a flustered, laughing voice, took the detective’s hand and tugged him to the buffet. “Wow, look at that selection of… food I guess I’ve never seen before… Uh…” Mentally the young woman felt extremly embarrassed, once because of her father, once because of her own ungraceful behaviour.

Hakuba could only smile, hoping that his winning charm and natural finesse at this sort of thing would compensate for any of his companion’s awkwardness. To the food, he merely glanced over the spread before turning his attention back to the room as a whole, dark eyes scanning the occupants with curious, and hopefully subtle, criticism.

“Yes, these sorts of events have a large budget for catering… they’re able to get quite a lot of good quality food with an insanely good price due to bulk cuts and favors among networks…”  He explained the ins and outs out of habit, mostly, attempting to keep some sort of conversation going while he profiled everyone around them, recognizing some faces, but not others.

“…in the end, the caterer makes a good deal of money, and the host – especially when it’s an auction – makes a considerable amount more because fine food and an open bar tends to make people feel like they can spend more money…”

He gave a nod in Nakamori-keibu’s direction, noting the drunkeness. Well, that would make things a little easier, at least. Unfortunate that he would be embarrassing himself so early into the night, and his daughter, but it would let the young detective get his work done. 

Finally, he looked back to Aoko with a simply little smile. “They call it the Mickey Mouse Effect, or temporary Hyperinflation… you see it all the time at tourist traps, where bottles of water are absurdly expensive, which makes the overpriced garbage you can purchase seem much more reasonable in comparison. After all, you must have water, and if water at its base is x, then x is the minimal expense you should expect.”

Hakuba paused, then, looking back to the food with a tilt of his head. “Oh, they do have crab cakes, though… and it looks like it’s legitimate crab, too, not imitation. That’s rather nice, isn’t it?”

It had been kind of a stupid setup, really, and Hakuba wondered if it would even work. He had his doubts, despite the preparation, but there was really nothing more that he could do about it. One of his high-brow clients was receiving death threats surrounding the particular event — a ball/charity auction with open bar and catered dinner — and everyone had to have a date. The detective wondered if his client had mentioned this specific detail on purpose. Hakuba normally went to these sort of socialite events going stag, content to do his own browsing and mingling without any sort of preformed attachment, but since it had been required… 

At least Nakamori-chan had acknowledged that it was just for a case. Sort of. He wasn’t actually sure how she felt about the whole thing. As honest and up front as he’d been about it, he was never really clear on what, exactly, went on in a teenage girl’s mind, and even he had to admit that they were a smart-looking pair as they walked up the steps to the mansion, arm in arm. 

He glanced at her, brows lifting, and offered a small, reassuring smile. They’d gone over all of the protocol for this sort of event at least a dozen times, so things would be all right. She would be safe, Hakuba would get the bad guy, and all would turn out to be a lovely evening. He was sure of it.

Slipping his other hand up to give Aoko’s a squeeze, he chuckled, and gestured for her to step inside the opened doors, first. “It’s now or never,” he whispered, and moved his closer hand to the small of her back to direct her inside. 

Series Commentary from Gab and Yuki:

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank yukitsukihana, for always giving me an opportunity to participate in dcmk crack. Here she writes Aoko and Kaito, as usual, and I take on the roles of Hakuba and Akako.

This does have a couple of panels from the latest Magic Kaito manga chapter, so it has been put under a cut to make it easier to avoid spoilers. 

Thank you, please enjoy.

Akako and Hakuba think about that, because she has a point.
Then, at the same time: 

Akako: he’s more like a stubborn tom cat then
Hakuba: perhaps a cat would be more appropriate 

and they look at each other

Aoko: no way. cats are cute and cuddly

Kaito: *eyebrow twitch*

Akako and Hakuba BOTH OPEN THEIR MOUTHS
