Homare had once read that every human resembled an animal, and for the moment he pondered over the truth of it.

Ayase was of course like a puppy; small, cute and determined to have everyone around him happy. But he was also a bit dumb, easily fooled and just as easy hurt; but still holding that wonderful charm which didn't allow you to dislike him.

Kanou, on the other hand, was more like a rhino; strong, stubborn and murderous. At times he could be calm and collected, but when enraged went berserk, as the older of the Kuba's had seen many times before.

Someya on the other hand, was like a peacock; colorful, loud and aggressive at sometimes. He was in some ways beautiful and proud, Homare himself would rather die than be found in the costumes the okama wore everyday.

Gion could easily be compared to a dog; happy and goofy. But he was also strong, and if it came to it he would fight, but his most characteristically treat was that he almost every time fit into the mood.

Mizoguchi was a bit tricky. You could have believed he also was a dog, but he really was a parrot; he was strange and mostly annoying, but he somehow were able to be reliable and friendly.

Misao were a tiger. He was strong, that couldn't be denied. He attacked his "prey" from behind or the side, and mostly hit them at their neck. He was also independent, never once could Homare remember his ototou relying on anyone, not even himself.

Speaking of the devil, the door opened and Misao came in, glancing over at his brother before walking up to the desk and began to sort some papers.

The Kuba twins sat there in silence, each minding their own business. As he began to read a client's request on a loan the younger of them spoke up.

"You're like a lap dog" Misao said

"Nani?" Homare replied, looking up

"I read that every human resembles an animal. And you're like a lap dog" he explained

"Exactly HOW am I a lap dog?" he asked, slightly confused

"You follow boss' every order while being protective over Asaya-san" he said, and that was that

Homare stared at his brother and sighed before returning to his work, but couldn't help but wonder if Misao wasn't the lap dog … no; Misao may be well trained, obedient and loyal, but he wasn't as loving as dogs. He wasn't social, happy or special.

Misao wasn't a tiger; he was fish. Stone faced, following routines and dull. He was memorable for his moves and actions, but anything else … there actually wasn't anything else about him. But he was still strong and independent as the tiger so …

"And you're a tiger-fish"


AN: I can't believe I've uploaded three stories in a few days. Well, I don't actually know if it's true, but my friend once compared me and some others to animals. Strangely enough she said I'm either and elk or a bear, can't imagine why. I don't know if there's anything called "tiger-fish", but just think of it as a mix of two species.
