Title: Aggravation
Prompt: 33 Too Much
Comment: I firmly place the inspiration for this drabble on candychan's doorstep and her Heiji/Kazuha fics.

That is IT! Kazuha thought angrily, stomping off. Heiji is going to suffer. Painfully.

"Wait, Kazuha! I'm sorry, already. I didn't mean to... I mean, I did mean to but he was-"

"I don't want to hear it!" she snapped, cutting him off. "Maybe I wanted him to. Have you ever thought of that? Well, have you?" She glared back at him.

He stood there like a statue. "You really wanted him to?" He looked down. "Look, I sorry. I thought something was wrong." He looked away and muttered, "I was worried."

She softened a little, "Thank you for caring."

Title: Desire
Prompt: 51 Water

Water gently lapped the shore of the cove. But Shinichi wasn't watching the water. His eyes were all on Ran. She felt embarrassed and gratified at his attention. Since he'd come back, he had been obsessively attentive to her. In fact, she once told him to find a case or something to do, she wanted "girl time" with Sonoko and Kazuha. He gave her a kicked puppy look but allowed himself to be dragged off by Heiji.

It was a little unnerving to be around him so much. However, she knew she did not want him to go away again.

Title: Spring Gathering
Prompt: 62 Spring

Akako snipped the first buds from a bush. On the next plant, she collected the winter shriveled berries that just barely clung to the budding branched. She paused over a patch of earth that had seedling sprouting right and left, and said a few words that drifted down and sunk into the seedlings and ground.

"Do you require my help, Akako-sama?" asked her homely servant.

"No. Some of this must be done by myself alone," she said, moving around her garden. "When all things begin to grow anew is the ideal time to collect them."

"Very well, Akako-sama."

--------------------
Title: Tainted
Prompt: 67 Snow

Snow angels dotted the hill side. On occasion, there was a snow devil. Some creative person carved little horns and webbed the "wings." It would have all been quite enchanting normally but one angel was marred by a bloodstain which had melted some of the snow and was beginning to freeze. It was a chilling counterpoint to the surrounding innocence.

This murder was one that the police had ushered the Detective Boys from with no allowances for them to come back and investigate it themselves. They'd gone without complaint. It was a life sobering experience to find a dead child.

------------------
Title: Herald
Prompt: 95 New Year

Ran stood in the kitchen, chopping vegetables. She stared down at them, feeling a little empty. New Year's was when you were supposed to be with the ones you loved. Her parents were trying to work things out and had gone out to dinner. Sonoko was surprised by an unexpected visit by Makoto-san.

The person she wasn't to be with the most wasn't here. His absence left her feeling empty and lonely inside.

"Ran-neechan?" said Conan, startling her.

"Yes, Conan-kun?"

"Would you like me to help?"

She smiled, "That would be nice." At least, I'm not alone.

----------------------
Title: Girl Talk
Prompt: 42 Triangle

Teenaged Ayumi sighed contentedly. "What're you thinking about?" asked her friend Akiko. "The latest idol? He is worth sighing over."

"No, I was remembering the time I met Kaitou Kid. He was such a gentleman. Unlike some," she said, throwing a look over at a group of teenage boys.

"You met Kaitou Kid?" the group collectively squeed.

"When I was in grade school. He was making an escape and had landed on my balcony. He was so polite about disturbing me."

"Did you see his face?" asked another friend.

"Not very well. But his four-leaf clover charm was clear."

--------------------
Title: A Question
Prompt: 86 Choices
Comment: It really did happen in one of Doyle's stories.

Hattori annoys me. He jokes around and nearly blows my secret to Ran time after time. Then he drops some comments that make me question my motivations occasionally.

The other day, he surprised me by asking if I would turn a person in because what they did was criminally wrong but morally right.

Without hesitation, I told him I would turn that person in.

Then he said something that gave me a pause, "But Holmes did the opposite. He let the murderer go because it the moral thing to do."

"I can't let a murderer go, whatever the reason."

"Really?"

-----------------
Title: New Life
Prompt: 87 Life

Shinichi remembered a lot of death. He had seen a lot of people die over the years. Maybe that was why he fought so hard to help people live. It didn't matter if they were the murderer or victim who had given up. He didn't want any of them to die.

Then there were days like today that he felt honored by life. It didn't matter that this child was not his first. He could not help bu marvel at the feelings it created.

He was surprised by the intensity of the urge to protect the life in his arms.

-------------------
Title: Personification
Prompt: 90 It
Comments: Goes all the way back to the first file. Ever. Manga only, though.

I lay here on the ground, dew forming around me. It is soaking the paper of my case but the inner plastic case protects my inner contents. I lay here, used and undeveloped, waiting for some hand to pick me up.

My owner forgot me here and the cops missed me. Who will find me? Will they find me in time?

It won't take long for the sun and rain to ruin my contents. If I'm found, I just might help catch some people.

The question is, what will happen? Will I ever be able to show anyone my contents?

--------------------
Title: Ever Reminding
Prompt: 91 Birthday

"Remember," Ran lectured, "You need to be home by five o'clock!"

"Okay, okay!" Shinichi said, cluelessly. "I don't know what the big deal is."

"You forgot again!?" Ran said. "Never mind. You'll remember soon enough. Be home in two hours. Bye!"

Ran shook her head. What could you do with men sometimes? For as intelligent as Shinichi was, he always forgot his birthday!

"So, how's the birthday boy doing, Nee-chan?" Heiji said, walking into the kitchen.

She sighed. "Forgetful of his birthday. Again. For as many years as I can remember."

. "Ya know? He probably likes you reminding him."

--------------------
Title: Oops
Prompt: 36 Smell

Everyone sniffed as they walked into the classroom after the holiday. They looked around the room until the spotted the source before turning guiltily away. Kobayashi-sensei showed up right on time and started her welcome back speech before she noticed the smell.

She paused and asked, "What's that smell? Did someone forget a lunch over the break?"

There were many guilty glances toward the back of the classroom. She followed their glances and discovered the source of the smell.

"Heh," she laughed guiltily, "I guess I forgot to assign someone to take the fish home over the holiday. Oops."

Title: The Past
Prompt: 65 Passing

Mouri grumbled as he climbed back into his patrol car. It was monotonous dealing with parking tickets, passing violations, and lost tourists all day long. The bright spot in this week was the upcoming promotion exams.

Mouri fervently hoped, and studied hard, to test to the next rank and move to a different, and more interesting department, than Traffic.

Division One appealed to him. Tracking down criminals was more to his taste and image as a dashing young man. Not to mention, the pay was better.

He thought about his pregnant wife. Eri would like him as a police detective.

-------------
Title: Want
Prompt: 85 Missing

There was more than one important person missing from her life, Sato mused. Her father was at the top of the short, but important, list. Matsuda-kun was another. There were other people. They hadn't died but they'd parted from her life and all contact lost.

Once in a while, she'd see an old classmate. Striking up conversations revealed that a lot of them were married. That brought her to the point of what else had been missing from her life.

Someone to share it with. Not that she was looking. Don't misunderstand.

Just some days, it would be nice.

--------------
Title: Support
Prompt: 88 He

He bowed slightly, offering embarrassed sounding apologies, as he backed away. She watched covertly as he turned back to his work with the occasional nervous look over his shoulder. It was kind of endearing.

But that was not all she loved about him. He had a vein of conviction that would not be bent or changed. It wasn't often she saw it but she knew he could stand up to anyone with it if he needed to.

He was approachable and kind. He never complained about dealing with that little detective kid group.

He was becoming a pillar for her.

--------------
Title: Amusing Irony
Prompt: 93 Thanksgiving

Yuusaku stared with amusement at construction paper turkeys that adorned the windows at a school. All the turkeys were smiling.

What an amusing way to do things. Here, the birds were smiling, yet, the real birds, had they the intelligence to understand what was going to happen, would be doing differently.

He shook his head. He'd never understand how commercialization worked.

"Ah! Yuusaku! Look what I bought," Yukiko said cheerfully, as she bounded to their car.

Yuusaku did a double-take when he saw she was carrying a box with one of those inflatable lawn ornaments.

A smiling, inflatable turkey.

--------------------------------
Title: Holmesian Tradition
Prompt: 09 Months

Ayumi glanced up hopefully at Shinichi-niisan. He looked down from the corner of his eye and smirked. "Gee, it would be good if someone were to look under the table for odd marks," he said conspiratorially.

Ayumi grinned at her cue and worked her way over to the table, climbing under it. Mitsuhiko came to stand next to Shinichi. "I asked the kids and they said that they heard what sounded like a thunk last night." Shinichi nodded and noticed that Genta was giving him a no-go head shake.

Shinichi grinned, it was time to reveal the murderer.

-------------------
Title: Attraction
Prompt: 24 Family

Every family had some defining characteristic about them. That was what drew the parents together. The children learned along the way. That was what Ran noticed. The Kudo family were all intelligent and all a bit of showmen. Shinichi liked to create drama when solving a crime. Her dad could be the same way sometimes.

It scared her to think that she was attracted to someone a little like a father. But she doubted that Shinichi would become the heavy drinker her father was. He was also a better detective and liked challenges. Not that she planned on telling him.

------------------
Title: The Best Medicine
Prompt: 55 Spirit
Comment: The saying at the beginning I've seen on a poster.

Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused, Kaito read on the inspirational poster in the classroom. "That's an interesting sentiment," he mumbled.

"What is interesting?" Aoko asked, coming up next to him.

"This saying," he said, pointing his thumb at it.

"Hmmm." She stared at it and came to a conclusion. "You must not be able to laugh at yourself."

"What?!"

"You get bored. And when you get bored, you pull pranks and magic tricks." She patted him on the head. "You need to learn to laugh at yourself. It's healthy."

----------------
Title: Eating Habits
Prompt: 58 Dinner

"Hey, there little one," Eri said, putting the dish on the floor. Goro, now grown into a fine adult happily dug into his fancy cat food.

Ran smiled, "He still eats like a teenager."

"Well, he is a teenager in cat years. Probably about your age. And I remember how teenage boys eat," Eri said.

Ran shook her head in agreement, "They eat like the food is going to run off the plate. Then they spend the rest of the time goofing off and preventing us from eating ours."

She looked at Goro thoughtfully, "Actually, he eats kinda like dad."

----------------
Title: Not Amused
Prompt: 97 Fear (A writer's choice)

It all started the day some fish nibbled his toes as he dangled them in the local pond. His father laughed gently and told him they did that to him, too.

It became worse when a fish clamped onto his finger as he unhooked it. It hurt but everyone else was grinning.

Then there was the time he was at the aquarium with his parents and the fish jumped out and landed on his head. Everyone except Kaito laughed. They thought it was cute. Kaito thought otherwise.

How could they think it was funny? He didn't think it was funny.
