Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Guardian Angel ❯ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Money ( Chapter 2 )

Whee! Here and ready to write another chapter of `Guardian Angel'! I'm glad people like the story, I was afraid people wouldn't like it. Not for the plot, but Kyoshi. I've never really written an original character in a story, so… yeah.

 

Yenchna and Kentuski: Yay! I'm going in you're favorites! ^_^ And I was blessed by you! -does an irish jig, trips- x.X

 

Lily Fairy: I did? Oops! I Must keep an extra eye out for that kind of thing. Thanks for telling me! ^_^

 

Disclaimer: If you haven't gotten by now that I don't own `Yu-Gi-Oh' I feel so very sorry for you. All that belongs to me is the plot and Kyoshi!

 

 

It had only been two days since Jounouchi had invited Kyoshi to stay at his house. Still, it was a bit awkward for Jounouchi; Kyoshi didn't really get a lot of things.

 

“Hey Katsuya?” Kyoshi asked as Jounouchi was making himself something to eat for breakfast.

 

“Hmm?” Jounouchi asked, waiting for his toast to pop up from the toaster.

 

“Is it true that if you stick a fork into an electric socket, you'll get electrocuted?” Kyoshi asked, looking extremely suspicious with his fork.

 

“Yeah, don't try it!” Jounouchi said as he took the fork from Kyoshi. Kyoshi went into a drawer and took out a spoon, since Jounouchi had his back turned.

 

“Spoon?” Kyoshi asked. BZZZZT!

 

“WHAT?!” Jounouchi asked as he turned around quickly. There was some smoke, and a very messy looking Kyoshi lying on the kitchen floor. “Kyoshi!! What the hell?! DON'T STICK UTENSILS IN THE ELECTRICAL SOCKETS!!!”

 

“You never said anything about spoons.” Kyoshi said as he sat up from the ground and looked at Jounouchi.

 

“It was kinda implied. Why don't you take a shower? I'll make you something to eat.” Jounouchi suggested.

 

“I'm not hungry.” Kyoshi replied.

 

“Not hungry?! You haven't eaten at all though. If it's about eating my food, it's totally fine. I gotta go to the store this afternoon anyway.” Jounouchi said. “Don't worry about, I'll cook you a feast!”

 

“But I-“ Kyoshi was quickly cut off by Jounouchi pushing him up the stairs.

 

“Go, go, don't worry! I'm a great cook!” Jounouchi said as he did a pose.

 

“Alright..” Kyoshi said, and walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

 

“Uh.. What can I cook for him? Hotdogs are easy! YEAH! I'll make him some hotdogs!” Jounouchi said as he ran down the stairs.

 

 

“Wow Katsuya! It looks delicious!” Kyoshi said as he sat down at the table.

 

“You serious?” Jounouchi asked, looking at the slightly burned hotdogs.

 

“Yeah, of course I am.” Kyoshi said as he took a bit out of his hotdog. “Say, what is it called anyway?”

 

“Uh… Hotdogs.” Jounouchi answered. “OH! You need ketchup!” Jounouchi ran into the kitchen (nearly hitting a wall.. -_-;) and got a bottle of ketchup and put some on Kyoshi's other hotdog. Um, actually a lot.

 

“OH MY GOD!! Is that blood?!” Kyoshi said, jumping up on his chair. “No, no, NO!! I don't eat blood!! I'M NOT A VAMPIRE!!!!”

 

Jounouchi's eyes went big at Kyoshi's freak out, as entertaining as it was to see him yell about the ketchup being blood, he knew it would be the right thing to do to calm him down.

 

“Uh.. Kyoshi, that's ketchup, not blood.” Jounouchi said. Kyoshi sat back down in the chair and began eating once again. The doorbell rang.

 

“I'll get it, you eat.” Jounouchi said as he walked into the front hall. He opened the door and saw Bandit Keith and Raphael.

 

“Uh.. Hi guys.” Jounouchi said, a bit confused.

 

“Yo, can you do us a favor?” Keith asked.

 

“Doesn't anyone say hi anymore?” Raphael commented at the American.

 

“Depends, what's the favor?” Jounouchi asked.

 

“Well you see.. We `borrowed' some money from the bank to help Ryou out of the hospital, and now the police are chasing us. We need you to keep the money for us for a bit.” Before Jounouchi had time to reply, Bandit Keith quickly shoved a bag of money in Jounouchi's arms.

 

“WHAAAAT?! I knew you two were trouble the minute I saw you. I'm not gonna keep your crap!” Jounouchi yelled, trying to give back the money.

 

“It's to help Ryou though! We didn't do anything wrong, it's not like anyone was using it!” Bandit Keith said.

 

“I told you he wouldn't do it. But did you listen? No!” Raphael yelled.

 

“Would you quiet down?” Bandit Keith asked.

 

“Hospital?” Kyoshi asked behind Jounouchi.

 

“Aww! He's so adorable!” Bandit Keith shrieked when he looked at Kyoshi.

 

“Why is Ryou in the hospital?” Jounouchi asked.

 

“Um.. It's actually a very funny story.. You see, he was getting a soda, and the vending machine that was carrying it wouldn't take his money, so Bakura took over and kicked the machine so hard, it fell right on top of him.” Raphael explained.

 

“That's not funny! It's depressing!!” Kyoshi said.

 

“Fine, I'll keep the money for a little while, but you had BETTER come back to get it.” Jounouchi said.

 

“Arigatou.” Raphael said. Bandit Keith and Raphael got on their motorcycles (Yes, in this story, Bandit Keith has a motorcycle. Why? Because he does! ^o^) and rode away. Jounouchi sighed and closed the door, with the money in his arms.

 

“Were they friends of yours Katsuya?” Kyoshi asked.

 

“Um.. Well you could say that I guess..” Jounouchi answered. “Where to put this..?”

 

 

Jounouchi was preparing to go to the grocery store, when Kyoshi came down the stairs.

 

“Where are you going? For a walk?” Kyoshi asked, sitting on the bottom step.

 

“Remember I said I had to go to the store.” Jounouchi answered.

 

“Oh yeah. Can I come?” Kyoshi asked.

 

“Do you want to come? It's kind of boring to shop for food.” Jounouchi asked.

 

“Then why are you going shopping if it's boring?” Kyoshi asked.

 

“Well it's not a matter of wanting to go, it's a matter of wanting food in the house to eat. I have to go.” Jounouchi answered.

 

“I see. It sounds logical! I wanna come!” Kyoshi said excitedly. Jounouchi just stared at him. How could someone get excited over going to a store?

 

“Uh.. How old are you again?” Jounouchi asked.

 

“Sixteen.. Why?” Kyoshi answered.

 

“No reason.” Jounouchi answered. “Well, we'll be gone for awhile, we need a lot of things.”

 

 

When Jounouchi and Kyoshi walked into the store, it was crowded. There were so many people there, it would be hard to get through.

 

“Wow, a lot of people must need food!” Kyoshi commented.

 

“Yeah, I guess.” Jounouchi said as he walked toward the dairy aisle. That's when he saw the reason for such a huge amount of people.

 

“Heh. Jounouchi, I'd never expect you to come to such a place like a grocery store.” Came a very familiar voice behind him.

 

“Funny. I could say the same for you, Kaiba.” Jounouchi replied as he turned around to see Seto Kaiba, Amelda was standing next to him with a cart. (Okay, now I have a really bad image going through my head of this o.o;)

 

“Hey Jounouchi!” Amelda said with a smile. Seto gave him a cold look as he said that, which Amelda ignored. “Who's your friend?”

 

“Oh, his name is Kyoshi.” Jounouchi said, putting a hand on Kyoshi's shoulder.

 

“It's nice to meet you.” Kyoshi said, and bowed.

 

“Wow, he has manners, I'm impressed.” Seto said sarcastically.

 

“You don't seem like a nice person, you better not do anything bad to Katsuya!” Kyoshi said, giving Seto a mean look.

 

Seto blinked, Jounouchi blushed, and Amelda picked up a package of cheese.

“I see, so it's like that. See you around.” Seto said, and walked off, Amelda going after him. (AHH! CRAP! I keep giving myself these scary images, now I won't be able to think of Amelda the same way!! O.O;)

 

“He's mean!” Kyoshi said as he watched Seto walk away.

 

“He's always been like that, it's best to ignore him. I do. Or at least I try, the worst in me always comes out when he's around..” Jounouchi said.

 

“The worst in you? There is no worst in you Katsuya! You're great!” Kyoshi said happily.

 

“Thanks. Let's get some milk!” Jounouchi said as he picked up two gallons of milk.

 

“Right! We need a good amount of calcium or we won't be strong!” Kyoshi said as he got a couple more things of milk.

 

“Um.. Right. I don't think we need that much milk.” Jounouchi put one gallon of milk back on the shelf and walked to the next aisle.

 

“I'm such a KLUTZ!!!” Yugi yelled in the aisle which Jounouchi and Kyoshi had conveniently walked to.

 

“I told you having that greasy burger wouldn't be good for you, mate! It's given you greasy fingers!” Varon said as he watched Yugi trying to clean the Snapple he had dropped.

 

“You alright Yuge? What happened?” Jounouchi asked as he walked up to Yugi, as Kyoshi got some soda and other drinks.

 

“Well I wanted to get a few snapples so I could drink some at home, but when I picked one up, I dropped it.” Yugi said as he took off his coat to wipe up the mess.

 

“WHOA! MATE!!” Varon yelled as he grabbed Yugi's jacket out of the spiky haired teen's hands.

 

“You do know they carry them in twelve-packs, right?” Jounouchi asked.

 

“Well yes I know that, but they don't have the flavors I want in the twelve-packs. So I'm buying them separately.” Yugi explained, trying to get back his coat from Varon.

 

“Well I think this kind of thing is what store cleaners are for.” Jounouchi said. Varon let go of Yugi's coat, making Yugi fall flat on his butt.

 

“Owwie!” Yugi said as he got up. Kyoshi walked up next to Jounouchi at this moment, causing Varon to stare.

 

“Hey Jounouchi, who is the guy?” Varon asked, pointing to Kyoshi.

 

“I'm Kyoshi!” Kyoshi said.

 

“And get this! He knew who I was the first day we met! Am I famous or what?!” Jounouchi said excitedly. Varon just rolled his eyes, while Yugi clapped.

 

“I'm Yugi Mutou, and this is my friend Varon.” Yugi introduced. Varon took a closer look at Kyoshi, and circled around him.

 

“Um.. Why are you circling around me? Is there something funny on me?!” Kyoshi asked.

 

“Yeah Varon, seriously, what are you doing?” Jounouchi asked, leering at Varon.

 

“Oh nothing.” Varon said as he walked back to Yugi.

 

“Right. Well, see you around.” Jounouchi said, grabbing Kyoshi's arm and walking away quickly.

 

“Kyoshi seemed nice! I'm gonna become his friend!” Yugi said happily.

 

“Um.. Yeah. Hey, let's go to the arcade after you're done shopping!” Varon said.

 

 

After the trip to the grocery store, Kyoshi and Jounouchi headed back to Jounouchi's house and put everything where it needed to go.

 

“Hey, I thought of a good place to put the money!” Kyoshi said to Jounouchi.

 

“Oh?” Jounouchi asked.

 

“Let's put it in the hamper! No one would look there!” Kyoshi said.

 

“WHAT?! What the hell kind of idea is that?! Where would we put our clothes?!” Jounouchi asked.

 

“It was just a thought..” Kyoshi said sadly.

 

“Ah.. It's a good idea. I'll think about it if I can't find any place else to put the money, okay?” Jounouchi said, hoping to cheer Kyoshi up.

 

“Alright!” Kyoshi said, this time happily. “I'm going to take a nap, okay? I'm a little tired.”

 

“Alright, have a good nap. I'll wake you up when I make dinner.” Jounouchi said as he sat on the couch to watch TV.

 

“'Kay!” Kyoshi ran upstairs and into his room and shut the door.

It's about summer-time in the story, for those who are wondering. (I wanted to add that in, because it's about Tuesday in the story, and Jounouchi wouldn't be at home if he had school.) Well, until next time, hope you enjoyed! ^-~
