At The Zoo (3rd Person POV)

"HEEEEEERE kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty-"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Misaki yelled at the Seika High boys, who were offering bits of their sandwiches to a tiger, their hands outstretched "GET BACK- YOU'RE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

She pulled them back violently so that they collided with the ground and stood over them, her hands on hips, in her typical Misaki way.

Usui watched the scene with a smirk on his face. It seemed like wherever they went, the prez only ended up yelling at everyone for behaving like animals. Now they were at the zoo to look at animals apart from the boys of Seika High, for a change. And still- all she was doing was yell.

Yukimura stood far off watching Kanou, who was trying to hypnotize a Chinese Mikak.

"Misaki, Misaki!" Sakura cried, her one hand clasped to her chest- her pink ponytails bobbing up and down as she looked over at the president. She was pointing at the koala exhibit "Look over here, Misaki! It's so cute!"

"We had to come here…" Misaki muttered, walking over to the Idiot trio, who were dancing in front of the chimpanzee cage "What are you doing exactly?"

Usui followed her, hands in pockets as the three idiots blinked at Misaki.

"They're not waking up-" they pointed at the asleep chimpanzees.

"Just get back with everyone before the Zoo staff kick you out!"

"Misaki, Misaki!" Sakura's voice came yet again and Misaki turned.

"We are here to look at animals, you know, Misa." Usui said "Give the others a break and let them get kicked out if they want to."

Misaki sighed and started walking over to Sakura and Shizuko's direction "I guess you're right- but that's not all I do- yell at everyone all the time, you know."

Usui raised an eyebrow "Oh?"

She hesitated "It's not- well, it pretty much is, apart from the paperwork…but I don't enjoy it-!"

Usui smiled and followed her as they made their way to Sakura and Shizuko "My, it indeed is cute" he said, looking over at the koalas.

"I knowww, isn't it!" Sakura squealed and rambling off dreamily, she walked away with Shizuko.

Misaki looked at Usui's childishly happy face for a moment, smiling at how cute her boyfriend looked, gazing at the koala. The animals' grayish brown fur looked so soft she wanted to reach out and cuddle it, and it's black stubby nose sniffed up at her, beady eyes confused.

Unlike the other animals which were held in a cage, this exhibit had a moat that was built to separate the animals from the people who came to watch. The moat was filled with water and there was land in between where the animals hung around- it was like an island.

Misaki leaned forward onto the railings, smiling at a particular baby koala, which was rolling around with it's brothers and sisters.

"Aww..prez has become a softie.." Usui laughed as Misaki hit him on his chest lightly, her gaze not shaking away from the animal.

But something struck her as odd- one of the adult koalas was making a loud yowling noise. At first, it had been a soft whine- but then it grew louder and louder until it was echoing off the whole zoo.

"What's happening?" Misaki asked, startled. She looked around desperately as people started to pay attention, confused and curious.

"Maybe it's hungry" Usui said, frowning.

Misaki turned to look at the koala- it's yowls were heartbreaking- painful, shrill and loud. Usui watched Misaki gaze at the koala, her golden eyes having a glimmer of vulnerability in them. He just wanted to see her, but he was aware of the line of Seika High students disappearing.

"We're falling behind, Misa-" he said softly.

"Oh-yea- I-I'm sorry…" Misaki shook her head and they started to walk after the students. "Kanou..! I think that's enough hypnotizing for today…!" she dragged the young hypnotist away while he cursed "Damn that monkey- he took all of my change- acting all hypnotized- DAMN YOU!"

The passers-by blinked at Kanou who, realizing at the final moment what he was doing, straightened up, clearing his throat and brushed his hair "Er- ahem, I-"

"Hey, someone-! Help the poor- SOMEONE CALL THE ZOO STAFF-!" came a scream.

Misaki's head shot over to where the shrieks were coming from- the lion exhibit.

"Quick- help! GET HELP!"

Misaki started to run abruptly, Usui and Kanou on her heels calling for her to slow down, but she didn't pay attention and didn't stop until she reached the lion's exhibit, clutching the railings. Her stomach flipped over at what she saw. She felt sick-

There sat a baby koala on the edge of the ground playing with the grass, while a big fierce lion stood behind it, slowly walking over to the baby, eyes wide and hungry.

People were gathered around the exhibit "How on earth did it get in there?" someone shouted.

The baby koala looked at Misaki with it's big black starry eyes, no idea of the lion behind it. It's head was tilted to it's side and it looked at Misaki with a blank innocence. Misaki's heart clenched- no one was doing anything except staring!

She had to do something-! She had to save the koala herself!

Yes, probably this could be her biggest mistake, but if she didn't do something- then she knew she wouldn't be able to live with the guilt-

With this on her mind, Misaki jumped over the railings and dived into the water of the moat without thinking.

"MISAKI!" Usui raced after her. His voice was panicked- it had lost all of it's usual cool- he sounded frantic as he watched her dive and the lion-distracted- watch her with it's piercing cat eyes.

Before anyone could do anything, he had jumped down into the water as well.

"USUI-! Prez- what are you-!" Kanou shouted, his eyes wide as he leaned on the railings and saw them into the water- right into the lions' exhibit. There were three lions in there in actual- one was asleep, the second was watching them lazily- only the third looked threatening. Well, if provoked- the three lions against Usui, Misaki and a baby koala- the latter didn't stand a chance. Kanou stood there, shocked, then spun around, pushing the crowd "MOVE! MAKE WAY-!" and he raced over to find one of the zoo staff.

Meanwhile, Usui was swimming, a few paces behind his girlfriend "Misa- please stop-!"

But she didn't listen- the only thing in her head was the innocent face of the baby koala looking at her as it picked on a blade of grass, the lion descending behind it slowly…

One step…two….

Misaki swan faster, teeth gritted, her hair sticking to her face. She had to reach for the koala- she had to..had to-

"Misaki- DON'T!" Usui yelled, reaching out for her, but she had jumped up onto the land and grabbed the koala right when the lion pounced on it. Misaki rolled away from under it, eyes shut tight and fell on the other side of the "island".

The lion sent a mighty roar, Misaki clutched the baby koala tightly to her chest, dirt smeared on her face, her face down on the ground. Her heart was beating wildly as the second lion jumped to its feet, roaring too.

Misaki had never felt so frightened and relieved in her life. The koala had it's claws tangled in her hair, and half-crawling, half-dragging herself, Misaki managed to fall into the water of the moat on the other side. The lions glared at her and was about to jump into the water when another yell-

"MISA!"

"Usui- d-d-don't get into the water- I'm f-fine- I'M HERE-!" she cried. The water was freezing. The lion turned its large mane over to Usui's side. Usui finally saw Misaki on the other side of the moat and let out a loud breath, swimming over to her "Get out of the water, quick! Lions can swim- the depth of he water- it- it isn't too deep, it-" he said, gasping as the freezing water clenched his chest.

The lions roared behind them. He knew he had to do something fast..but what?

"H-how are we supposed to g-go up?" Misaki stammered in the cold, holding on to him, shivering. There was a large drop in the height and then there was a moat- so that even if the animals could swim- they couldn't climb up. They had no idea how they were going to climb up in such a slide- diving had been so easy, and this-

"I don't know…"Usui said, and just then a rope dropped down and they looked up to see the frantic face of Kanou and some of the zoo staff members.

"Come on up! Prez- I need to say this-I don't care if you punish me or what-" Kanou yelled "YOU ARE DEAD CRAZY!"

Misaki laughed, shivering and looked at the baby koala that hugged her, catching hold of the rope.

Paul- the member of the zoo staff handed the baby koala to the adult koala who had been yowling earlier "There you go. Turns out this lady was the little guy's mother- that's why she was screaming her heads off- she found that her baby was missing."

Misaki and Usui stood next to each other, blankets wrapped around each other, shivering and dripping on the ground.

"H-h-how exactly did the baby get in the l-lion exhibit?" Misaki asked, hugging the blanket to her and involuntarily snuggling closer to Usui.

"It must've gotten out when we were there to feed the koalas and landed itself inside the basket where we put the lion's food…anyway, that doesn't matter right now-" Paul turned to look strictly at the two of them "That was really brave of you, kids- what you did, but I want you to promise me to never do that again, got me?" Misaki nodded as Usui smiled and snaked his arms around her waist until she frowned and shook it away, glaring at him "We're in a zoo!"

"So what? I can't hold you? Everyone knows we're in a-"

"PREZ! THAT WAS SOOOO COOL!" the Idiot trio yelled and had launched themselves on Misaki, along with Shintani.

Sakura was sobbing "I'm so glad you're okay, M-M-M-Misaki!" she cried.

"Wha-! I'm-I'm alright- I just…I couldn't-" Misaki tumbled back

Usui shook the boys off her irritably "I think she need space to breathe, people-"

"Ayuzawa-! Are you alright?" came the teachers running up to the demon prez, who laughed nervously.

"Ah-haha- I'm f-fine, honestly-"

There was a soft whine and a small claw held her finger. Misaki turned around to see the baby koala's claw outstretched towards her, holding out a blade of grass for her. The baby's eyes were round, dark and solemn, and Misaki took the grass gingerly from the koala, smiling. It almost looked like as if the koala was offering it to her as a token of thanks.

A/N: Yep, that's it for now. I made it the best I could, so I hope all of you guys liked it, especially you, Lornaa223.
I'll do my best on updating soon. Meanwhile, thankyou for making my day with all your reviews!

Tell me what I need to improve and I'll try making it better, people. Yeah…and then there are the spelling mistakes occasionally…:P

Anyway, thanks for tuning in! (:
