We All Get Our Hoots Somewhere...
Hakuba swore he was hearing things.
And the things he was hearing seemed to be following him.
At first he thought it was an owl. This would be understandable, as it was night time and the noise was a low hooting sound. But, owls don't stalk people for no apparent reason.
Come to think of it, owls don't stalk people at all. Even if they do have a reason.
He had a plan though.
As he was walking, Hakuba listened to the noise very carefully. It was about six feet and at a 45 degree slant behind him on the right side. There was a hoot every nine seconds, and a small snigger three seconds afterwards. The hoots normally came two to three at a time.
Once Hakuba was absolutely sure of his "opponents" coordinates, he counted down until he would strike.
Three...
Two...
One...
He turned and leapt behind him, his follower caught unawares and talked to the ground. In a headlock.
"Kuroba?" Hakuba was surprised.
"Duh... Who else would it be?" Kaito rolled his eyes. "And get off me!" he complained. Hakuba rolled over.
"So... You're the owl?" Hakuba deadpanned.
"Obviously."
"Why?"
"Humourscope."
"Ah." Hakuba mused this over for a bit. "You've always seemed like a night owl to me anyway..."
Fin.
"Excellent day to make strange "hooting" noises, while hiding in the bushes."
Couldn't resist.
