Joey had captured the black dragon before he could kill Usagi and said rabbit had hid in her owner's room were she had her hiding place. Jou sighed as Usagi escaped and ignored the little dragon's growl of protest.

Seto growled in the blonde's grip. He was not use to being handled at all and found it very uncomfortable to be held by his sides.

Jou sat on the couch and placed the dragon on the couch in front of him. He really didn't want to get bitten and if the red eyes growled anymore he'd be bearing his sharp teeth "Well, this was not how I had hoped to meet a real live dragon" Jou mumbled and looked closely at the dragon. The dragons had a brown shade to the black scales, the darkest shade of brown, but it was very hard to tell. And if you looked closely into his eyes you could see specks of blue in the ruby, but it only gave the eyes a blood red look then.

Seto narrowed those ruby eyes. He did not like to be stared at or studied, even though a thought in his mind reminded him that Jou had never seen a dragon before and he was still getting over the change, he still didn't like it.

"Well..." Jou said and smiled "I'm Joey, little guy" Seto would have raised an eyebrow if he could have

`Idiot, I know that' he thought and Usagi hopped into the room, a piece of hay she was chewing hanging out of her mouth.

`How do ya know him?' she asked `I've never seen you around here, and it looks like he's never seen you before by the way he's acting' Kaiba looked at the rabbit

`Like you know `anything'. I'm not a dragon in the first place and he hates me. He's seen me hundreds of times. I'm, a, man' Seto glared at the bunny, who gave a disbelieving snort

`Uh-huh' She said `What ever you say lizard boy'

`Lizard... boy...' Kaiba bristled at that

"Hey, no killing the rabbit" Jou said as he watched the tenseness from the dragon as he watch his bunny. The dragon snorted like the rabbit was nothing of his time, something that seemed somewhat familiar. The tension lightened some and Jou wondered what to do next. Sure a lost cat or dog you'd take it to the pound, but what do you do with a lost dragon...

Joey snapped his fingers as one person popped into his mind, but the snap startled Usagi and Seto "Yami would know!" he said aloud and got up to use the phone. He dialed the number but the line was busy "Huh, Yami must be online again"

<><><><>

Yami was indeed on the computer. He clicked a button and a pop up popped up "Aibou! I got another one! This time I have a chance to win a boat!" ^_^ (AN: -_-; the evil pop ups have corrupted our pharaoh)

"Click the x button Yami!" Yugi yelled up stairs, a vein appearing on his forehead as he wrapped Tea's present

"But Aibou..." Yami started to whine

"NOW MISTER" Yugi yelled and heard his darkness grumbled as he did as he was told...

...But not even 15 seconds later...

"Aibou!"

"YAMI! QUIT TURNING OFF THE POP UP BLOCKER!"

<><><><>

Jou hung up the phone and looked at the clock `3:30'

"I really need ta get Tea a present for tomorrow" the blonde said aloud and remembered he had a dragon in the apartment. He couldn't leave the dragon there, unless Usagi wanted to be hasenpfeffer and he didn't need Mr. Shidareyanagi coming in and finding the red eyes; that would bring up some questions. Besides, he was going to Yugi's tomorrow for the party. He could ask Yami there, better than over the phone.

Joey put his wallet in his pocket and looked to the dragon with a smile "So ya wanna see the city red eyes?" Seto blinked and realized this was his way out of here and back home. He hadn't really thought about what he would do about his... curse, but the only thing on his mind was seeing if Mokuba was ok.

`Finally I can get out of this hole in the ground' Kaiba said

`What hole?' Usagi asked

`This apartment idiot' Seto said and Usagi rolled her eyes

`Please... I've BEEN in a hole in the ground and this place is paradise compared to that' Seto snorted once again and hopped off the couch when Jou was getting ready to go

`Well, Hope to never see you again rabbit' he said and Usagi shrugged

"Fine, later Lizard-boy. It was nice ta meet ya, even if ya just chased me round. Bye" and she hopped out of the room and into the kitchen

Jou was dumping all the contents out of his book bag; It was getting full anyway and he found his missing sock from gym and his homework for Monday. He couldn't carry the dragon with him in his arms, because the dragon himself didn't seem to be picked up and he'd get a lot of stares. He picked up the dragon and placed him in the bag, receiving a glare again.

"What? I don't want to be asked where I found a real red eyes black dragon" the blonde explained "and I doubt ya wanna be carried all over the place. I'll leave the top open so ya can look out if ya want though" Seto watched as the top closed, but like Joey had said, he left the top open and the dragon poked his head out. Jou chuckled at the cute site and got another glare, which made him laugh out loud and poked the dragon on the nose playfully before picking up the bag carefully

"You need ta lighten up buddy" the blonde said and slipped on the back pack smoothly so as not to jumble the dragon "Man, can't even laugh without ya glaring at me" he was still grinning but a certain brunet popped into his mind made him frown, who he didn't like to think about on the weekend (Did I mention it's Saturday?). Joey shook the face out of his mind. He wasn't going to let Kaiba ruin his weekend...

Or at least that's what he thought...

Jou walked down the stairs instead of his usual mad dash to the bottom floor. He didn't want to rattle the dragon up too bad, and for this Seto was a grateful for, even if he would never admit it. Seto curled up in the bag and leaned up against Joey's back, getting comfortable for the walk.

Jou was about to leave the lobby when he heard his name being called

"Oh, Joseph"

Joey looked around to see the apartment owner himself walking over to him. Mr. Shidareyanagi was a young man with grass green hair and dark purple eyes came over to him. He was surprisingly short, he only came up to Jou's chest, but don't make short jokes around him, he was no push over. He had a glare that could crack glass, but he was usually very pleasant. He was also one of those people that you hated, or you liked, same vise versa. Luckily for Joey, they were on a friendly base.

"Mr. Shida" Jou said a little worriedly. He knew he had paid this month's rent "Hey. Did I do somethin'?" Mr. Shidareyanagi smirked

"Do you have a guilty conscious Joseph?" he asked

"Eh, no..." the blonde said and Mr. Shida chuckled warmly

"I'm only joking Mr. Wheeler" he said "I'm sure you're sister got on her plane safely?" He always had conversations with his renters; he liked to know what was going on around him

"Yep" Joey said with a grin "The plane was even early, which is really weird for the airport"

Seto, in the back pack, suppressed a chuckle. He couldn't `possibly' image why the airport had shaped up so quickly.

"Well that is a bit strange" the green haired man said thoughtfully "I've never even know them to be on time" He gave a shrug an then saw Reisui, a man who was a little late with this month's payments "Well I'll see you Joseph, you looked like you were going somewhere" he said and turned away "Mr. Mizu, You're late on this month's pay..."

Jou sighed and got out of the apartment building

"Phew, that was close" he said in a breath. He was glad that the dragon hadn't decided to pop out and see who he was talking to, that would have been hard to explain. And he was really glad that he hadn't been late on the payment. Mr. Mizu was probably getting an earful by now.

Seto poked his head out of the pack now and looked at his surroundings. Nothing looked familiar, of course, everything looked bigger and Jou had obviously moved away from his neighborhood. Oh this was not going to be fun...

Ha! They're out on the town! ^_^ Well I'll stop here. Seto doesn't seem to like Jou right now, but he'll come around. And since Jou doesn't know Seto's the dragon, Seto can see the nice side of him ^_^ I've still got to figure out what there's going to do in town, and What should Tea get for her birthday? I mean sweet 16! What will she get? Any ideas would be nice, so send me reviews and you get ice cream! *whispers* maybe Seto and Jou will get some too ^_~
