"Ok so that was boring," Shinra sighed. He had tried tempting Izaya with catnip but the informant had just stuck out his tongue, not caring at all.
Celty typed "I was expecting a cuter reaction" and Shinra laughed.
"Let's move to the next test," the doctor said, pulling out a weird whistle and blowing into it.
Shizuo cried out, clutching at his ears. It wasn't working and he realized he had to cover his dog ears to make the sound to away. He grabbed a blanket and crammed it over his head, sighing in relief as the insane sound was muted.
"That's more like it," Shinra whispered to Celty.
"We can hear you," Izaya grumbled.
Shinra nodded. "Well you see I was wondering if your second pairs of ears worked or were just for show. Also if they would only work on a human's register or a dog's. So now I want to see if…"
He trailed off, glancing at something to his left. Izaya glanced that way, only to turn his back slightly to Celty who had snuck up to his right. She grabbed his tail and squeezed it.
Izaya screamed and hissed, jumping away from the dullahan and bumping his back into Shizuo. "Fuck you!" Izaya spat, clutching his tail protectively as Shinra laughed.
"Fucking evil doctor," Shizuo grumbled.
"Sorry but I have to find out to what extent these additions are a part of you," Shinra justified. "I can't explain it to you first or the reactions won't be the same."
"Go back to offering bones and squeaky toys," Izaya grumbled, his tail whipping around angrily.
"Or catnip," Shizuo fought, trying to keep the focus on the cat-man.
They glared at each other, both loathing the other. They couldn't see it, but Shinra and Celty were still surprised that the two were still in the same room and hadn't broken out into a fight yet. Celty had a bucket of water ready for if Izaya made the first move, and Shinra held the whistle ready for Shizuo.
"Ne~ Shizu-chan looks like a cute mutt," Izaya teased. "You look like something I just picked up from the pound."
"Says the feline with fleas," Shizuo fought back.
"I do not have fleas! I shower every day, which is something you probably can't say, Shizu-chan."
"Oh you did not just call me dirty! A feline who licks himself?"
"I clean myself normally, thank you."
"For a cat, yeah. I take nice short baths!"
Shinra and Celty glanced at each other. "This is a weird fight," Celty typed. "Think we should break it up?"
Shinra glanced at the squabbling rivals and whispered, "No, let's see what this will turn into."
Shizuo barked out a laugh at something Izaya said and the informant couldn't suppress the shudder that went through his body at the sound. Shizuo noticed and barked out loudly, "What! Can't handle a little noise?"
Izaya rolled his eyes and looked away, his poker face in place but his tail's flicking betraying his agitation.
"Or maybe," Shizuo suggested quietly, leaning closer to take the informant by surprise, "you just can't handle the sound of a dog's BARK!" He barked the last word, making the informant jump out of his seat and to his feet.
"Yeah right!" Izaya growled. "As if anyone could be afraid of you, you're like a puppy! More like your disgusting dog breath made me jump. Pee-eew!" He pinched his nose for effect.
"My breath doesn't smell!" Shizuo barked, getting to his feet. "Just admit it, cat!"
Izaya couldn't help it. He hissed at the blonde and then turned tail and ran for the exit.
Shizuo let it sink in, and then took off after the fleeing figure.
Shinra and Celty stood there. "Should we go and stop them?" Celty typed.
Shinra paused before breaking out into raucous laughter. "Oh my gosh, this is gold! I wish I had gotten that on camera!"
Please forgive me. I really hate including characters beside Shizuo, Izaya and Erika because I am afraid of making them too OOC, and even then I'm still rather paranoid about it. I hope Shinra and Celty aren't bad, I just picture them as people who would laugh hysterically at this but then try and not laugh at their friends in front of them.
Also if this seems random, it really is. I hate half-human fanfictions, which again makes me question why I wrote this, and couldn't really think of any really tests so I did this. Yeah it gets better I swear.
