A/N: Thanks to Winniethewubbzy for making me laugh with their review!
Kaoru was hiding behind Hikaru, staring in awe and fright at the strange creature in front of them. It was roughly two feet long, had six long antennae, and there was what looked to be a raw salmon's tail sticking out of its mouth. Somehow, a large pool of water had arrived in their dormitory, and the creature was currently residing in it.
"H-hikuaru… what is that?" Kaoru asked fearfully.
"Why would I know? I'm not some kinda zoologist!"
Hearing them,the creature slowly turned its head towards the twins and swallowed the fish in one gulp. Kaoru followed with a gulp up his own, rightfully terrified.
"Hey," Hikaru started, "isn't that a ribbon around its…neck?"
Indeed, there was a red ribbon tied around its…neck, to which a small, water-proof box was attached.
"Seriously?" Kaoru peered out from behind his brother just long enough to confirm this fact.
"Well then, let's check it out. I wanna know what's in the box."
Hikaru started walking towards the creature, but Kaoru latched onto his arm.
"Don't, it's gonna eat you!" he shrieked.
Hikaru sighed and petted his brother's head. "Don't worry," he said, smiling brightly, "those Kagamine twins are probably just trying to scare us. The worst thing that could happen would be the box exploding, and that won't happen."
"How do you know?"
Hikaru stared at his brother as if he had grown a second head. "Are you kidding? Have you ever seen the way that girl looks at animals?"
When Kaoru shook his head, Hikaru face-palmed.
"You know, sometimes you can be really dumb, Kaoru."
He glared at Hikaru. "Just go get the box, genius."
"As you wish." Hikaru made a mock bow and walked over to the creature. It yawned, showing off small teeth.
"Yeah, yeah. You're very scary, I get it. Now, hand over the box you creepy little freak of nature!" Hikaru attempted to grab the 'little freak of nature,' but it quickly dove into the all but forgotten pool.
"Where'd it go?" Kaoru yelped.
"I can't see it; the stupid water's too murky!"
"I hate to say it Hikaru, but I think we might need Rin's help with this."
"No way in hell am I going to that crazy chick for help! Let's just call pest control, okay?"
"You just said she would never hurt an animal!"
"And your point is?"
"What do you think she would do if she found out we hurt, or even killed, one of her pets? She nearly decapitated that one kid for stepping on a beetle she found on that school fieldtrip!"
Hikaru backed away from the pool slowly. "Good point. We're asking her for help."
A/N: For anyone who is interested, the 'creature' is an axolotl, and is one of my all-time favorite animals. If you want to know more, I'll have some information on my profile!
