At first it started with a small dog the three Akashi siblings found abandoned on their way home from school. It would have been cruel of them to just leave the dog to suffer and die on such a cold and rainy day so they took it home.
 
The dog was taken care of until he was healthy but at that point the three siblings were attached to him so he was named Prince and was given permanent residence in the Akashi house.
 
Akashi Prince was the first of many animals to enter and stay in that house

Takeomi had been visiting one of their uncles when he saw something trying to enter the room he was staying at.
 
If he was anyone else, he would be scared it was robber or killer but since he was a delinquent Takeomi decided to go see what it was.
 
The home invader was nothing more than a baby crocodile who was looking for food. Takeomi decided to feed it and after looking for the mother the next day and not finding it, he decided to take the crocodile home and name it.
 
Akashi Fluffy was the second member to join the family.

Senju loved scary things and everyone who knew her, knew about it.
 
So it shouldn't have been surprising that she would accidentally find a tarantula, not just any tarantula, a Goliath bird-eating one, that had somehow ended up in Japan.
 
And of course that Senju fell in love with the tarantula and had to bring her home.
 
Akashi Mort was the third animal that was welcomed in the house.

Sanzu was pretty calm outside of fights and the only thing that made him act excited, besides sweets, was fluffy things.
 
He loved anything soft and cute, not caring if it was an object or animal.
 
It should have been expected that he would also get his turn to find an animal to bring him and he did. Sanzu found a baby and mother leopard on his way to meet his friends. He couldn't just leave them there so he took them home.
 
They helped the mother leopard get healthy once more and took care of her baby but when they decided to free them, both decided to stay.
 
Akashi Belladona and Akashi Waka were the fourth and fifth additions to the family.
 
.
.
.
 
Slowly more animals were added to the Akashi family from birds to fishes to any type of animal.
 
But their friends were blind to this until the Sano siblings were invited to a sleepover at the Akashi family.

"I can't wait to have basically a girls' night!" Emma said excited as the Akashi siblings guided her and her siblings towards their house
 
"Me neither!" Senju agreed
 
"...Sen, did you let Jojo roam free?" Sanzu asks suddenly
 
"Uh….I don't remember? And even if she is out, she normally stayed in my room or my room's balcony" Senju answers and Sanzu just hums at that
 
"Hopefully she isn't roaming free, Fluffy has been quite cranky this days and Jojo loves to annoy her" Takeomi comments
 
"At least Jojo isn't trying to impregnate Fluffy like Leonard" Senju says and her brothers have to agree with that
 
"It reminds me that Quartzo is going to give birth soon" Sanzu comments
 
"We should prepare the nursery for her since Noelle was the last one to have a hatch and Quartzo will need something different for her kits" Takeomi hums
 
"Who are you guys talking about?" Shinichiro asks confused since he never heard those names in his life
 
"Our pets" the three siblings answers at the same time
 
"You guys have dogs?" Izana asks with a raised eyebrow
 
"Our only dogs are Prince, Queen and Lady" Senju answers
 
"...Then the ones you mentioned before are cats?" Mikey asks
 
"Oh, no" Sanzu denies "Our cats are Mimi, Luna, Katsu and Kill" he adds
 
"...And those you mentioned before are what?" Shinichiro asks afraid as he sees the Akashi house is near
 
"Fluffy is a crocodile, Jojo is a flying serpent, Noelle is a salamander, Quartzo is a lioness and Leonard is another crocodile" Takeomi asks calmly and the four Sano siblings freeze
 
"....Do you have more animals?" Emma asks because if they had those, it could mean they had more animals that are considered dangerous
 
"Yep!" Senju says
 
"We have spiders, leopards, fishes, a shark, birds and many more" Sanzu says as he opens the door to their house and is immediately welcomed by a serpent flying to him and a small white fox
 
"It seems like Jojo was roaming free and Snowflake decided to play with her" Takeomi comments amused as Jojo puts herself around Sanzu's neck while Senju picks up Snowflake
 
'....This is my only and last visit to this house' the Sano siblings thought as they entered the Akashi house, fearful of the animals the might find especially Mikey who was really scared of spiders
