[fic] MK: The problems with pets...

[ickaimp]

Quick random comedy story. Not Shades of Grey. which has eaten my soul

+++

"Kuroba-kun?"

"Yes, Sensei?"

"Where is your homework?"

"Uh, well... you see..." the sentence trailed out into an illegible mumble. Which was most unusual because Kuroba was most capable of coming up with the most outlandish stories at the drop of the hat.

"I'm afraid I didn't catch that."

"My doves got to it." This was accompanied by a wince. "Y'know that joke about parakeets and newspapers?"

"You are saying that one of your doves fouled it?"

"Several, actually."

"And you have proof?"

"Do you want me to bring it to class?" This was accompanied by a grimace, as if in memory of a horrible smell.

".... that will be quite alright. I expect it on the desk first thing tomorrow."

"Yes, Sensei."

Kuroba sat back down.

"Nice story." Someone whispered.

Kuroba looked despondent. "Would be if it wasn't true..."

-fin-

"Hakuba-kun? Where is your homework?"
"My hawk ate it."

^^;; At least he's telling the truth for once...

Sometimes the truth really is the best defense.
And sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction, and if you've got a habit of storytelling, no one's really going to believe you anyway... ^^;;

*giggles softly* At 3:38 in the morning when I should be studying, this is precisely what I need.

Quickie fix though: "illegible" refers to writing, as in, something that cannot be read. The word you're looking for is inaudible.

*wry grin in Magik's direction at the mention of parakeets*

*grin* I'm trying to imagine the look on Hakuba's face when he confesses his hawk ate his homework. Even funnier than the one on Kaito's. Though, you'd think that with their IQ's, they can redo it in a flash...

The mental pic of Hakuba informing the teacher that his hawk ate his homework is a very stotic, deadpan expression.
But you're right, they should be able to think of something better.
Now asking AKAKO what ate her homework could be downright dangerous.... o_O

Man, Hauntress.... When do you ever SLEEP?!

*innocent grin* When do I sleep? Oh...normal hours...y'know, at three in the morning on weeknights, in class...

Okay, I'm kidding. I don't sleep in class--I like (most of) my classes too much to sleep in it, even if I feel like death warmed over. Last night--er, this morning, I was cramming for a Business exam. Went to bed at 10, got up at 3, crammed until 7 or so, was (surprisingly) NOT a zombie all day due to a mix of adrenaline/anxiety/nervousness/caffeine from a chocolate bar.

On the upside, I think I did well on said exam. On the downside, my vision's swimming. ^^;;

*wider grin* Asking AKAKO what ate her homework, eh? I dare you to write that. I DAAAAAAAAAAARE you...=D

That is a great mental pic of Hakuba... scary thought about Akako. And in regards to Hauntress' challenge... Eep! Do we really want to know?

::snickers::
My mind flashed to Kuno Kodachi's pet, Turtle.

I'll prove myself to be fully immature and say : 'Teehee, that was funny! *giggles*'. It *did* make me giggle though. The downside of being a magician ... ^-^;
