Tantei Gakuen Q Drabbles 56-60
Title: Stage
Prompt: 82 Deaf
For a moment, Ryuu swore he had suddenly gone deaf as he walked onto the stage. There was not a sound in the room save for his light footsteps. A few seconds later, he wished he had gone deaf at the sudden round of squeals and cheers from most of the girls in the audience and a few of the guys. He managed to give a small smile (which made it even worse) even though he wanted to scowl. Ryuu remembered the terms of the bet he had lost to Kinta. He grinned and bared it as th bidding began.

Title: Family
Prompt: 95 New Year
Kinta grinned as he bounced his granddaughter on his knee with his grandson hanging onto the other knee, begging to be next. Kinta happily obliged. When he was done with that, he had the grandkids take a seat around him on the floor as he told them stories from his active days at Dan Detective Agency. He was careful not to touch on some things but the older kids were sharp and caught his omissions (calling him on them). His daughter came around, rounding up the kids so they could set off fireworks because the new year was minutes away.

Title: Career
Prompt: 86 Choices
There never really was much of choice in Kyuu's mind what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be a private detective just like his role model, a man he simply called 'uncle.' As Kyuu grew up, he could never figure out why his mother was not happy with his choice of careers. She did not actively discourage it but she did not do anything to help his interest along and tried to get him interested in any number of other careers. But none appealed to him. That was why he sneaked to the DDS entrance exam.

Title: Maturity
Prompt: 23 Lovers
Kazuma could not help but stare at the pictures. The young couple had died in each other's embrace. Even in death, he could tell that they had wanted to be close in their final moment before they had been killed. His vivid imagination replaced the couple with himself and his his girlfriend. Kazuma shoved the image from his mind though it still managed to persist through the whole investigation. She was his first girlfriend and now he realized that he never really understood what it was like to be in love before. He wished he'd let Ryuu take the case.

Title: Tailing
Prompt: 98 Writer's Choice (Past)
Megu's head snapped around. “That's the suspect!” she said. Kyuu quickly moved over and signaled before he did a sharp U at the next opportunity. “Which car?” he asked, scanning ahead for the vehicle in question. She quickly told him the make, model and license plate. Kyuu worked his way up through the traffic until he was only a car length behind the car in question. They tailed the car occasionally pulling ahead, a maneuver that Kyuu discovered he was good at until the car pulled into a parking garage. Megu hopped out to tail him on foot.
