Chapter Four: The Dog

It had been about a week since Kagami, the tiger, had arrived at the zoo. And he and Kuroko, the penguin, had met about all the other animals in the Seirin section of the zoo.

It was early in the morning, when even most of the animals are still asleep, and the zookeepers are just arriving and beginning to get the food ready for the animals. When...

"OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THAT?!" Kagami roared as he woke up, and saw a big, golden retriever puppy right outside his cage.

"Ruff," the dog replied.

This had evidently also woken up all the surrounding animals. "Seriously Kagami, why do you have to start roaring early every morning," Koganei had complaining as he was yawning trying to go back to sleep.

"But what is that thing?!" Kagami roared again as he was now in the farthest corner of the cage away from him.

"So it seems our tiger friend is afraid of dogs," Kuroko said.

"Ah Kurokochi is that you!" The dog barked excitedly at the sight of the penguin. "It's been forever since I saw you!" He said happily while jumping around him.

"Hey Kuroko whose your friend there?" Kagami asked getting annoyed by the dog.

"Ah, his name is Kise Ryouta and he's one of the zookeepers pets," Kuroko replied introducing him.

"Well tell him to leave!" Kagami yelled.

"Why should I?!" Kise replied back.

"I've been looking for Kurokochi forever and I've finally found him!" Kise replied.

"Kise, it hasn't even been a week," Kuroko replied from behind him.

"Really?" Kise asked as he turned back around to Kuroko. "It's only been that long?" And he received a nod of the head after that question. "Well do you know how hard it was to find you?!" Kise said overreacting. "It was easy to find everyone else but SUPER hard to find you!"

"Well then I'm sorry about that," Kuroko replied.

"Anyway," Kise replied, "Aomine said that he wanted to talk to you, you should go and see him sometime." Kise said as he ran off after he was called.

"Whose Aomine?" Kagami asked.

"A panther," Kuroko replied.

"Panther?"

please review

hey a couple days ago I learned something interesting, you know a tiger and a panther are actually the same species?
