Tantei Gakuen Q Drabbles 46-50
Title: Date
Prompt: 47 Heart
Kyuu felt like his heart skipped a beat when Megu stepped out of her apartment she shared with her sister. She wore a deep rose dress she with her done up in an elaborate do. She wore a pearl necklace on with matching earrings.
She blushed slightly at the attention her gave her. “My sister gave me the pearls as a gift.”
Kyuu stuttered a moment, “They-they look great on you!” He seemed to remember his manners, “M-may I have you the pleasure of escorting tonight to dinner?”
Taking his offered arm, she giggled as he tripped over his words.

Title: Worried
Prompt: 80 Healing
Megu giggled a little as the doctor wrapped the plaster covered bandage around her broken wrist. It was not really funny but the medicine they had given her made her a little loopy. Kyuu stood beside her looking far less happy.
The doctor told him that it was a clean break and should heal without any problems. Megu thought that information was hilarious. The doctor read Kyuu’s look and informed him that it was simply the medicine. He gave Kyuu a prescription for pain killers before they left.
Megu seemed to remember something, “Did you get him?”
Kyuu nodded yes.

Title: Explosion
Prompt: 37 Sound
Kazuma covered his ears as he ran out of the building with the rest of the people. He had to uncover them briefly to stop people from passing by the nearest fire exit. Once he was out of the building, he still could feel the buzzing of the alarms in his head.
He stepped away from the milling crowd of people. The sound of sirens grew louder as the first fire truck arrived on the scene.
Kazuma turned to look at the building and felt his eyes widen. There was a massive hole in one wall and smoke pouring forth.

Title: Prisoner
Prompt: 96 Writer's Choice (despair)
He pounded on the metal door, yelling until his voice disappeared. He did this for days, trying even harder when the daily ration of food and water was brought by. After weeks, he could feel his will weaken and would spend days slumped against a wall only moving to eat and use a crude toilet.
The hopelessness of his situation drove him to consider different ways to kill himself. And over time, the ideas morphed from killing himself to killing other people and how to do it without getting caught.
Especially ways for the person who trapped him down there.

Title: Escape
Prompt: Writer's Choice (Hope)
Kyuu could feel despair try to smother him as he sucked the venom from Megu's leg. It threatened to extinguish all hope. He pushed the feeling aside, knowing that it would do no good for either of them.
If he let despair do that, they would both die, Megu from the snake bit and himself from starvation.
His mind moved quickly. He began to put together how the prisoner must have escaped and how he got water.
Hope began to flare back in his heart. He knew what he needed to do, how he might do manage to do it.
