Hey, everyone! Welcome to chapter six of "Zootopia: When They Cry". Before I start this chapter I would love to thank the fanfic writer named KristianSixx for reading and reviewing this story as well as following it. Thank you, Kristian. You're a really great man. He may not have any stories up right now, but when he does, I'll check them out and I hope all of you do as well. Anyway, in this chapter, Nick and Judy are going to meet the last two "Higurashi" characters. And I bet you know who they are. Without further ado, let's begin!

Chapter 6: Keiichi and Rena

It was still a rainy night in the city of Zootopia. Judy was still fast asleep in her apartment. Bucky and Pronk next door were as noisy as ever, but she was still sleeping good nonetheless. Meanwhile, outside, a boy was running through the streets in the rain, trying to get out of it. The boy had shaggy brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a white short-sleeved dress shirt with a red under shirt. He was also wearing black pants and black shoes. The boy was looking for a place to take shelter from the rain, but so far he had no luck.

"I'm getting wet, but I gotta keep running. Or else I'll never find shelter." He told himself.

A few more minutes, he stopped to catch his breath. He then looked to his left and saw a building. It was a pretty tall building and some of the lights were on inside.

"What is this place?" The boy thought.

When lightning flashed, he saw the sign that had the name of the place. The sign said, "The Grand Pangolin Arms" apartments.

"An apartment complex, huh? Maybe I can find some help in there." The boy thought.

He started walking up the steps. A few minutes later, he was inside. He walked through the hall and saw a bunch of different doors on the right.

"For a small complex, it sure has a lot of apartments." He thought.

The boy stopped at one of the doors. When he was about to touch the knob, he heard what sounded like loud music. He glanced to his left and found it was coming from the other door.

"Noisy neighbors. A homeowner's worst nightmare. Although the music sounds cool. If the person in this apartment is sleeping, it'd be a miracle." The boy thought.

He turned back to the door. He grabbed the knob and turned it. When he did, he found out that the door was locked. The boy then tried knocking but there was no answer. He then tried knocking a little louder. Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Judy Hopps was suddenly awoken by the sound of knocking at her door. She slowly opened her purple eyes and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of them. She stretched, yawned, and got out of bed.

"Hello? Anyone in there?" The voice on the other side asked.

The bunny heard the knocking again, only it was a lot louder. She started walking towards the door.

"Ugh. I know, Nick. I'm coming." She said, groggily.

She got her key and unlocked the door. Once she opened it, she got a look of surprise. The boy was as surprised as she was.

"Is that a rabbit wearing clothes and walking on two legs?" He thought in disbelief.

After a minute of silence, the two screamed. This caused the boy to fall on his back and Judy to back away. Judy ran to her nightstand and opened the drawer. She pulled out her service pistol and ran back to the doorway. She pointed her gun at the boy with a firm look. The boy got a scared look when he saw this rabbit point a gun at him.

"Who are you?! What are you?!" Judy demanded.

The boy put up a hand in defense.

"Woah! Hold it! Don't shoot! I'm not gonna hurt you!" He said.

"You didn't answer my question. Who or what are you?"

"Can you please put the gun away? I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just a fifteen year old human boy."

Judy lowered her gun a little and got a confused look.

"What kind of boy did you say you were?" She asked.

"I-I'm a human."

"What's a human?"

"It's what I am! Don't tell me you never heard of a human before."

Judy thought about her answer.

"I've... never heard of a human before. And I've never seen one either." She said.

"Well, I've never seen a rabbit wearing clothes and walking on two legs and talking before. Because it's not normal." Said the boy.

"I don't see how that would be any different from me seeing you."

"Whatever. I'm not here to hurt you. I was just trying to find shelter from the rain."

Judy's eyes widened.

"Oh. Okay. Sorry for pointing my gun at you. Not being mean when I say this, but I'm just not used to seeing your kind." She said.

"It's alright. I understand."

"Do you wanna come in?"

"Sure."

The boy got on his feet and Judy put her gun away. When the boy walked in, he shut the door behind him. He looks at the wall when he hears the loud music coming from next door.

"How can you sleep with the racket going on?" The boy asked.

"It's okay. I'm used to it." Said Judy.

Judy sat down on the bed while the boy sat down on the floor. For a minute, they stared at each other. Finally, the boy broke the silence.

"So, what's your name?" He asked.

"My name is Officer Judy Hopps. Officer of the ZPD. Precinct 1." Judy said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Keiichi Maebara." Said the boy.

Judy got a look of confusion when she heard the boy's name.

"Ke... iichi... Mae... bara?"

"It's Japanese. I'll explain some other time. But right now, I gotta know where I'm at. Like what city I'm in for instance."

"You're in the city of Zootopia." Judy told him.

Keiichi was the next to be confused.

"Zootopia?"

The rabbit nodded.

"Yeah. It's a city where predator and prey animals live together in harmony. Well... most of the time." She told him.

"So, let me get this straight; I am in a world where animals both predator and prey live together in harmony, walk on two legs, talk, and wear clothes?" Asked Keiichi.

Judy nodded again.

"That's right."

The boy put a hand on his head.

"Wow. That sounds... weird. No offense."

"It's alright. What world are you from anyway?" Judy asked.

"I'm from a world called Earth." Keiichi began, "It's a world where humans are the dominant species and animals don't walk on two legs, wear clothes, or talk."

Judy raised an eyebrow.

"I'm dead serious."

"Wow. That sounds like a pretty strange world." Judy said.

Keiichi chuckled.

"It may be weird to you, but it's natural for us humans." He said, matter-of-factly.

"How did you end up in this world, Keiichi?" Judy asked.

"I don't know." Keiichi replied, "I remember being in the village of Hinamizawa and hanging out with my friends. And then I got killed and then... I... I don't remember much after that. Other than I woke up in a dark alley somewhere."

"But if you died, then how come you're still alive?"

"I don't know. But I do know this; somehow I ended up in this alternate Earth after I died. And I intend to find out."

"Well in that case, my partner and I are going to try our best to help you find out how you got here and why you're here in the first place." Judy told him.

The boy's face brightens a bit.

"You'll really do that?" He asked.

Judy nodded.

"Sure. After all, we are police officers. It's our duty to help people no matter what species they are." She said.

Keiichi yawns.

"Tired?"

"If you had been running through the rain trying to find shelter, you'd be tired too." The boy stated.

"I guess I would be." Judy said, "Well, tommorow, Nick and I are going to try our hardest to help you out."

"Thanks. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome, Keiichi."

As she got in bed, Judy looked at the boy again.

"Keiichi, where do you wanna sleep?" She asked.

"I'll just sleep on the floor. I'm used to it." He said.

"Are you sure?"

The boy nodded.

"Yeah."

"Okay, suit yourself."

Judy lied down and so did Keiichi.

"Keiichi?"

"Yeah, Judy?"

"Just out of curiosity, what's Hinamizawa?" Judy asked.

"It's a village in rural Japan. It's where I met my friends and had fun. But then some weird stuff started happening after The Cotton Drifting Festival. Most people including my friends said it was part of Oyashiro's curse. Oyashiro is a god who watches over the village. The village was also where my friends and I all got killed." Keiichi told her.

Judy then got a sad look on her face.

"I... I'm really sorry to hear that."

"It's alright."

The boy shut his eyes.

"Goodnight, Judy."

"Goodnight, Keiichi."

And just like that, the two drifted off to sleep.

...

Meanwhile, Nick was fast asleep in his apartment when his door slowly creaked open. Whoever walked in shut the door. The person who walked in was a girl with red hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a blue and white school girl uniform with a yellow scarf. She also wore white socks and black shoes. She checked her surroundings.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" She asked.

There was no answer. She heard breathing and turned to her right. She smiled at what she saw; she saw a fox sleeping in the bed she was standing by.

"Awww! It's a fox. A cute sleeping fox. He looks so cute when he's sleeping. I just wanna take him home with me!" The girl thought, "Maybe I can pet him."

The girl reached her hand out to pet the sleeping fox. But just as she was about to, she stopped, pulled her hand back and got an unsure look.

"Wait, Rena. Do foxes usually bite?" She asked herself, "If they do, you might not wanna risk getting rabies or having either your fingers or your whole hand bitten off."

She kept looking at the fox and smiled sadly.

"But he looks so adorable."

Rena then began to yawn.

"Watching him sleep is making me tired." She thought.

She looked towards the end of the bed.

"I guess I'll sleep on the floor. But I gotta be quiet about it."

Rena slowly and quietly walked towards the end of the bed. When she got there, she sat down first and then lied down. She glanced at the bed and looked up.

"Goodnight."

Once she closed her eyes, Rena instantly tell asleep.
