Tantei Gakuen Q Drabbles 96-100
Yay! Done! And with this post, I have succeeded with my New Year's resolutions for '09 (f-locked)! But in a nutshell, I do have a bit better job and I finished my two fics I wanted to finish. It feels good. :)
Title: Body
Prompt: 38 Touch
'Body is cold,' Kyuu noted, as he checked for a pulse. He tuned out the hysterical crying of the woman behind him. Ryuu's soothing voice seemed to be working its magic for the crying lessened.
'I'll let him take care of her,' he thought, looking around the area for signs of what happened to the man.
It was a well trafficked area with people passing through every few minutes and there had been no body ten minutes ago.
He noted that there were video cameras scattered around. 'But something tells me we won't see what happened on them,' he thought.

Title: Pregnancy
Prompt: 8 Weeks
'Forty weeks,' Megu thought, as the doctor gave her a rundown on the typical pregnancy. With a small smile, she placed a hand on her still flat stomach. Though she had read up on what happened during a typical pregnancy, she still was happy to have someone explain it to her. It gave her greater ease.
A quick glance at Kyuu showed that it was opposite for him. He was growing more and more apprehensive at the doctor's lecture. She took his hand and gave him a smile. His tension lessoned but didn't disappear completely.
Finally, the doctor took questions.

Title: Freedom
Prompt: 87 Life
The first breath of air as he stepped out of his prison smelled sweeter than the finest mountain air after a rain. It didn't matter that the narrow staircase smelled musty. It was the smell of freedom. An opportunity to snuff out the life of his tormentor.
He knew that there was much to do before his revenge could be delivered. But he could wait and gather resources, be they people and their talents or supplies. Time was on his side.
'I can't decide if I to let him know I am going to kill him or simply kill him.'

Title: Phone
Prompt: 27 Parents
The first phone call between Kyuu's mother and Dan was strained. It had come the very evening after the entrance exam to DDS. He had been stunned to silence for the first minute by the vehemence in her voice. She had sounded very much like she wanted to throttle him through the phone.
It wasn't until much later that he realized just who she was to him. When he learned that she had been his successor's wife (and their son was now in the running), he felt more than a little foolish which he hadn't had in a long time.

Title: Sunset
Prompt: 100 Writer's Choice (Future)
Dan slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window. The setting sun made the clouds burn with reds, oranges, and purples. He knew that his own life was setting and that the next time the sun rose, there would be others in charge.
Despite knowing his time was coming to a close, he felt at ease. His school and agency were in good hands and would flourish. Pluto was gone but if an organization like it ever rose again, he knew that it wouldn't last.
The colors faded into darkness and Dan closed his eyes for the last time.
