Badfic Manor

*Kaito became aware slowly, similar to the process of 'waking up' but by his own intention rather than a need for sleep at all. There was just too much time in a day, and this 'sleep' seemed like a good way to pass it without being bored.

He'd settled outside last night, something inside him preferring the open space to the four walls of his assigned room, but he couldn't recall being surrounded by this much tall grass when he'd tuned out.

There came a scuffling to his right and he found himself on high alert, switching to a low crouch. Something was out there, approximately two meters away, digging at the dirt. It didn't sound very big, but he couldn't be sure.

He crept forward half on his knees, pushing the grass aside as quietly as he could. Which must not have been quiet enough, he realized, when the creature stopped moving suddenly. He froze, peering through the grass in an attempt to see it.

Instead of sating his wary curiosity, Kaito found himself blasted back by a stream of water that knocked him well on his ass. Swearing, he scrambled back, suddenly being borne down on by a blue....turtle. An angry blue turtle. It seems to be a very important distinction.

What the hell is going on?!*
