Memories

This is my first DAQ two shot.

Summary:A photograph…a photographic memory…memories flooding back to Megumi Minami and its relation to Ryu Amakusa. OOC I think.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except a DVD containing 36 episodes of Detective School Q and if I own it, Ryu will be hidden inside my closet.

Author's note: This story happens when Pluto had been destroyed and Ryu went to the good side… In my story he lives in an apartment on his own… there is also scenes that I borrowed from the anime. Again…I own nothing. If this sounds like your story, that's coincidence. This originally came from my daydreaming.

Pairing: Megumi+Ryu

Title: What's wrong with Ryu?

On to the story

In the class Q room, the five elite students of DDS are having yet again another self study for the fifth time this week. The teachers and the famous detective/principal Dan Morihiko are attending an important business matter so the whole DDS classes had been irregular…but not for the successor class…Q-Qualified…

"Who wrote a story about a famous detective who has great skills in deduction and also knows fencing for his detective background and what's the name of that detective?" (A/N: Sorry, I'm not so great with detectives)… Narusawa Kazuma asked his fellow Q class members.

"Kinta!"

"A-Ano…I don't know." Kinta said nervously scratching his head.

"So troublesome…Megu?" Kazuma sighed.

"Sherlock Holmes! But I don't know who wrote it…" Megumi answered.

"That's a start. Kyu?" Kazuma called the 15 years old detective out of his thinking.

"I know the character Sherlock Holmes but I didn't have a chance to know who wrote it. Hehehe. Sorry Kazuma-kun!" Kyu answered briefly.

"Jeez… How about you Ryu-kun?" Kazuma smiled at Ryu because he knows that the other older tensai knows the answer but…

"Huh?" Ryu asked blankly.

"Aren't you listening what I just asked, Ryu?" Kazuma said with a very tired expression on his face.

"Sorry." Ryu replied expressionlessly. He was kind of paler than usual and he has sleepy eyes looking at the floor.

"Are you okay, Ryu-kun? You don't look so good." Megumi uttered staring at Ryu's face.

Everybody looked at Ryu worried but Ryu gave them a weak smile and assured them that he's fine. "I'm fine. What's the question again, Kazuma?"

Kazuma repeated the question to Ryu.

"Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyles" (A/N: Please correct me with this) Ryu stated giving another frail smile.

"That's right!" Kazuma shouted overjoyed. At last!

"That's what I thought." Kyu declared nodding his head in agreement.

Kinta smacked Kyu on the head. "Liar!" Everybody except Ryu laughed. Megumi stole a glance at Ryu and became worried. He was acting strange again. Is it about Pluto? She asked herself.

It's been a month since they exterminated the organization and Ryu was freed from their cruel grasps. After that, he became more sociable and she also heard him laugh but now, something is bothering the young man.

After the self study, Megumi approached her fellow Q classmates with a big smile on her face and a red blush too.

"Kyu…" she started.

"Huh? What is it, Megu?" Kyu inquired curiously.

"My sister wants to invite you over again…" Megumi said fast that some of the words were incoherent.

Kinta and Kazuma smiled furtively at the couple again who were flushing like tomatoes…

"Not just Kyu! All of the Q class!" Megumi shouted furiously and blushing. "Also you Ryu-kun…" she muttered blushing.

"Yeah! You should come to Meg's. The last time, you were so busy that we had to replace you with a menace…" Kinta said shivering at the image of the arrogant Todai (Tokyo University) with the I.Q of 180 flashing quickly in his mind.

"Thank you for the invite, guys. But I have other plans…" Ryu replied and went out of the room.

"I thought he became more sociable when Pluto went down the drain but he's really acting like before…" Kazuma stated.

"Hmmm…maybe he's just tired…" Kyu said while thinking of Ryu.

"Not again… We should move along before the menace comes to the picture again…" Kinta hurriedly pulled his companion. "You coming, small fry?"

"As if I have a choice…" Kazuma stated sarcastically.

They walked to Megumi's house without a word then…

"Pink with watermelons!" Kyu shouted, Kinta and Kazuma nodded.

"Perverts!" Megumi hit Kyu's head with her bag.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You can't blame me! Blame the wind for blowing your skirt!" Kyu shouted tears are on the side of his eyes and he's holding his head tightly bracing for the pain.

"Hmph!" Megumi turned away and they walked again in silence. Kyu eerie of his friends' attitudes started a conversation.

"What's your sister going to cook for dinner, Megu?" Kyu asked. "Isn't she just the most beautiful sister ever, Kinta?" he added. "I know Kazuma-kun has a crush on her too!"

"No I'm not!" Kazuma shouted embarrassed.

"Stay away from my girl, kid!" Kinta cried out angrily and smacked Kyu on the head.

"Why me again?"

The three were bickering but Megumi just walked not noticing the commotion that had started. She was lost in her deep thoughts for a young boy who couldn't come because of who knows why… She heaved a long sigh.

He's always like that. When he does that, I remember when we first met in the Kirisaki Island. He's familiar but I can't really remember and this coming from a girl who has the ability of photographic memory.

"What's wrong Megumi?" Kyu asked from behind her.

"You're acting really odd." Kazuma added.

"Is something wrong? You started acting like this when Ryu refused the offer." Kinta recollected.

"Aren't you worried about Ryu-kun?! Maybe something bad happened and he needs help! Come on! As his friends, we should do something to help him!" Megumi cried out reasoning things to her friends.

"And maybe…it involves Pluto…" Kazuma thought out loud.

Kyu and Kinta beamed happily.

"Let's go to Ryu-kun's place!" Kyu exclaimed happily.

"Everyone, this is a mission to Class Q! Let's go!" Kinta threw his arms to the air.

Meanwhile…at Ryu's apartment…

"I really want to go to Megu's place but I can't…"Ryu sighed.

He was lying on his bed with a wet cloth on his forehead. There's also a basin full of water on a table beside his bed. Ryu looked at the ceiling groaning. He was feeling really ill today and he can't tell anyone because he doesn't want to burden them.

Ryu felt his forehead for the sixth time. "I'm still hot."

Good time to have a fever eh? He thought sardonically.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Coming." Ryu stood from his bed and slowly strolled to the door. When he opened the door he was surprised…

"Ah…why are you here?" Ryu posed baffled.

"Oh my god! You have a fever!" Megumi exclaimed when she touched Ryu's forehead unexpectedly.

His friends without warning pushed him to his bed and started to take care for him.

"You don't really need to do this…" Ryu uttered hesitantly.

"You are in safe hands Ryu because I, Kintarou Touyama will take care of you in the name of my ancestors and you will be fine soon!" Kinta cried out standing with pride.

"This is going to be interesting." Kazuma mumbled mockingly.

"Yosh! Let's do our best for Ryu-kun!" Kyu jumped in delight.

"And let's start by all of you shutting up." Megumi glared at the noisy boys.

They were all taking care of the sick Amakusa when Megumi passed by a photo frame.

"Is this you, Ryu-kun?" Megu showed a picture of a little blue haired boy holding a Detective book about 5 years old sitting under an old oak tree. He has an emotionless face.

"Hai." Ryu answered.

Megumi stared at the photo.

The place is familiar…
