This is my first solo fic. No wonder it's too romantic. Haha. Hope you like it…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own探偵学園Q/Detective School Q. (I wish I did though, and I will not say it again.)
NOTE: This is set several years later!
LEGEND: Bold-emphasis, italics-thought.
Chapter 1: The Mystery SenderYears have passed, and the students of Class Q have finished their education, parting ways. Everyone was living their lives the way they wanted it. All of them, except Ryu, remained in Japan, working their ways. Kyu was an assistant of Mr. Dan (like his dad), Kinta and Kazuma went to work for the Secret Service (and became members of the Detective Organization of Japan). Megumi was one of the agents of some private organization, while Ryu went back to New York, living in solitude and working as a part time detective for the CIA. Everyone was living his or her normal lives.
Until, one day…
Meg's POVThe sakura (cherry blossom) season was nearing, so I was cleaning my backyard. The doorbell rang. I wondered who it was. I opened the door and saw… nobody. All I saw were a bunch of red Holland roses. I was pleased and amazed, because I will remember the sight for the rest of my life…but I was also confused. I was thinking,
"Who on earth would send me flowers?"
I searched the bouquet for any clues on whoever would send me such. I found a piece of paper, elegantly made, bearing these words:
Hello Meg. How are you? I miss you.
Anonymous
"Strange", I thought. Then I noticed that it was sent from the Internet, showing a trace that the one who sent it lives far away from Japan.
A week passed, and there was another bouquet waiting for me to get it. It was white roses, though. Every week passed; anonymous sent me every color of roses-except black. I was thinking why.
I was in the middle of cooking sukiyaki and cranking up some music, when the doorbell rang. I opened the door. I didn't see flowers though. Instead, I saw a man. A man with purplish-blue hair, and blue eyes which I could tell, really wanted to tell something.
"It's Ryu!"
And yeah, I was damn right.
Ryu's POVAfter I spent some time in New York, I went back to Japan. I had two reasons: to live the life I wanted, and to live this life with the person I love the most-Megumi Minami. Since I went to New York, I always felt lonely. I wanted to feel the sensations of the person that I want to be part of my life-or my life-forever.
Meg seemed shocked. If you ask me, I think she didn't think of me being the person who loves her more than his own life. Or was she excited? I couldn't really tell. I still wish she loves me too. Like the way I've loved her for some time.
What I didn't expect, the moment she saw me at the door and realized that I was her anonymous, she hugged me real tightly. I couldn't really tell why, because I have made up many reasons for her to do so through my actions. The flowers. The anonymity. The way I try to express it. It must be obvious… she could probably tell.
:END OF POVs:
"Ryu! I had no idea it was you!" exclaimed Meg.
"Huh, I thought you knew, Meg!" Ryu replied, a bit shocked.
"How would I? I never knew you were such a romantic guy, Ryu Amakusa…"
Ryu looked a bit stunned.
"And I thought you looked in your e-mail…" muttering to himself.
"Ryu?" Megumi asked, distracting Ryu. "Are these all you sent me?"
"No."
He took something out of his pocket and asked,
"Meg, where's your telephone?"
"Over there." pointing to the direction of the computer.
He connected something to the phone and the device. He took out a stylus and was madly typing something.
"Ryu, what the—"
Before she could say another word, he put the device in front of her.
"Here Megumi Minami. Mail."
She was shocked. 100 unread messages? She started feeling guilty.
"I'm so sorry Ryu… I—"
"It's okay Meg. I forgive you. Just read your mail next time, okay?"
"Sure Ryu."
"Don't you want to eat?" Meg blurted out.
"Okay… will this taste good?"
"Don't worry Ryu. I've practically perfected the art of cooking sukiyaki."
"Okay…"
They ate peacefully, unlike when they were younger and had company. Meg remembered the days when she was eating peacefully, then the boys (Kyu, Kinta, Kazuma) would show up and ruin her peaceful mood. In her mind, she was laughing…"
"Hey Meg." Ryu asked, out of nowhere. "You okay? You seem cross-eyed."
"Gomen, Ryu. I sort of remembered the old days..."
"Meg, that's a memory. Just eat. I think you have real lots to do."
"Gosh, he's damn right! My house is dirty…" eyes scanning all the clutter.
After several minutes, Ryu excused himself to leave.
"I shall be leaving, then."
"Where?"
"Back to New York."
"How long were you here, anyway?"
"A week."
"Oh. Sayonara, Ryu."
"Good bye, Megumi…"
He left with a smile on his face, after seeing her after such a long time.
Meg went to her garden. To her amazement, the cherry blossoms started falling. As it fell, a tear dropped from her eyes.
"I wish to see you again, Ryu Amakusa. Aishiteru… and I hope you do too…"
How was that? Damn short, I should say. What do you expect? Don't blame me if it's crappy. And yeah, if I made it longer, it wouldn't be too emotional… XD. Pls R&R this fic and the one I co-made… Between Love and Death. DSQ also. R&R pls, or else I will not update. Deal? Ja ne:D
