Heeeeeeey! It's been a while, hasn't it? I was out of ideas but I GOT ONE NOW!

Hikaru awoke from his nap with his arms around his twin. Weird…he could've sworn he had Shiny with him when he went to bed…He sat up in the bed and glanced around for his baby blue elephant but couldn't find him.

"Hika, what's wrong?" Kaoru asked as he sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"I don't know where Shiny is." Hikaru answered with his head under the bed. Kaoru held his foot when he noticed the older starting to slip down.

"Did ya leave him on the couch?" Kaoru asked.

Hikaru shook his head, pouting. "I know I took him with me…" Kaoru looked down and noticed the other boy nervously playing with the hem of his blue play shirt. Then, Hikaru suddenly sat stiff, "What if…what if he was stole an' they's torturing him?! Shiny could be dying!" He jumped off the bed and tore apart the room.

Kaoru hopped down and grabbed Hikaru's shirt. "Maybe…Maybe he's jus' hiding. You know, hide-and-go-seek!" Hikaru seemed to lighten a smidgen at the idea.

"Then we gotta find 'im now!" Hikaru took his brother's hand, pulling him out the door to search the house.

"We never gonna find him!" Hikaru shouted, plopping down on the couch face-first. He mumbled something into the cushion and let out a whine. Kaoru stood beside his twin with concern written across his features. He took a second sweep of the room before he saw their newest maid come in with a basket of laundry.

She paused for a moment, "What's wrong with your brother, sweetie?" she asked Kaoru.

"He can't find Shiny nowhere…" Kaoru answered.

"Who's Shiny?" she asked, coming closer and putting the basket in a chair. She stooped down at Hikaru's side and tried to pick him up even though he refused to move.

"He's a elephan' toy Daddy got him when we was real little." Kaoru answered. The maid's face filled with embarrassment.

"Is he blue with little sequins on his howdah?" she asked. Kaoru nodded.

"Have you seen him?!" Hikaru popped up, eyes wide. The woman nodded and she rummaged through the clothesbasket.

"He was left on the couch and looked awful dirty so I thought I would wash him." She pulled out Hikaru's prized elephant, handing it to the giddy boy. He hugged it close, smelling the laundry detergent with the biggest smile he could muster on his face.

"Shiny! I'm so happy you weren't killed!" Hikaru yelled, throwing the animal in the air and catching him, hugging it close again. Kaoru giggled, tugging the boy's sleeve to get him to follow so they could play.

"You happy, now?" Kaoru asked teasingly when the two got back to their room. Hikaru nodded, jumping on the bed and rolling around.

"Very!" he giggled.

Remember the elephant covering Hikaru's junk in The Refreshing Battle in Karuizawa? Yeah…my little brain comes up with weird things…IT'S CUTE WITH THIS, DON'T THINK ABOUT THE EPISODE! Or you can…but, ya know, makes this seem less innocent…

By the way, remember how I said I might start one of these for Haruhi? Yeah it's started, chapter one is up if you haven't seen it!

And a howdah is like a saddle you put on elephants. Thank you, Google!
