Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ lightning ❯ chapter three ( Chapter 3 )

Chptr 3:

The trembling puppy soon drifted to sleep in my arms. I carried him into my office, but instead of depositing him into the bedding that I had Mokuba bring in for him, I allowed him to rest in my lap while I worked on this god forsaken ad campaign. I sat at my desk and drummed my fingers, realizing that that particular action wasn't doing me any good, I picked up my pencil.

***HMMM***

"Hey, guys," Yugi cried out to us suddenly, "Hasn't Joey been gone for a long time." I shrugged, slightly annoyed at the outburst, and diverted my attention back to the T.V. it was a documentary on crocs, that's some cool shit, and besides, It's not my problem. A few minutes later I felt a poke in my side.

"'Kura?" Ryou asked me softly as to not disturb anyone else.

"What?" I grumbled in response.

"Do you think he's okay?" He continued, I nodded curtly, feeling slightly guilty I pulled my hikari closer, and kissed the top of his head. Joey has been gone a long time, and Kaiba is rumored to be in the area. Oh well, like I said earlier, not my problem.

***TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP***

I growled deeply in my throat, that tapping noise has disturbed my peaceful slumber, whoever is responsible must pay. I began to growl again, but then a soothing hand ran from the top of my head, down my back, to stop at the base of my…tail. Damn, still a puppy, and that means…I looked up…Yup, still Kaiba, great. I looked to his other hand, which was busy tapping a pencil on the surface of his huge mahogany desk, well, it was huge from my perspective. I growled and lunged for the offending pencil. Seeing as how my hands are now paws, I clamped my teeth down on the wooden writing utensil.

"Hey!" Kaiba cried with a slight chuckle. He then tried to pull his pencil back. Big mistake bub, I tugged harder and the pencil slipped successfully from his hand, and then I fell off of his lap. I landed with a grunt, then took off, pencil still in my possession. Kaiba pushed his chair back and began to follow me, but his foot caught on the edge of the desk. WHOA! TIIIMBEEER!!! Down he goes in his full six feet of businessman glory!

" HA!" I tried to yell, but it came out as 'ARP!' I hopped around and wagged my tail, hey this puppy stuff is kinda fun. Kaiba rolled over and groaned, I dropped the pencil and ran over to him.

"You shit." He grumbled at me, before sitting up. I hope he isn't mad at me, so I climb into his lap and try to look as cute as possible, he smiled and began to pet me, "I needed a break anyway." He then leaned down and kissed me on the top of my head. Okay, that was kinda weird. I pulled myself up and out of his lap, and began to investigate the room. A stray piece of paper soon caught my attention, and I trotted over to investigate. I was surprised to find a picture of me.

***BARKBARK***

Man, that dog is vocal, reminds me of another such puppy, I glanced up to see what the fuss was about, He was barking at a photo that had somehow ended up on the ground. I walked over to get a closer look, hmmm, speak of the devil, it was a picture of Joey.

"How'd that get there?" I asked to no one in particular. Sure the pup was there, but It's not like I expected him to answer me.

***BARK!***

Okay, why did Mr. Fancypants Kaiba have a picture of me!? He picked it up and studied it for a moment, then smiled. Why was he smiling? Was this some sort of sick joke?

"You see pup," he started, sitting down next to me, "this guy's name is Joey." Kaiba stopped and smiled again, but this time it was different, almost sad, " He doesn't know this, but I admire him," wait, what? Me? " See, I always called him a puppy, he always took it as an insult, but puppies are more loyal and trustworthy than any human." Soooo, he wasn't insulting me? It was a compliment? I'm so lost right now, can somebody explain to me why my coldhearted rival looks like he's about to cry? "I wish I had people to hang out with like that." Kaiba fell silent, and I didn't know what to do, I mean, he's Kaiba! He continued to study the picture, and I whimpered, still completely lost.

***SIGH***

"This isn't the time to be sitting here thinking about an old photo!" I said, angry at myself for allowing the picture to get to me so much, "I've got to finish this damn campaign proposal." 'More like start it' I corrected myself. I scooped the puppy up, as well as his bedding. I walked back to my desk and laid the puppy's bedding out, then placed the puppy on top of it. I pulled out my laptop, hoping that the ideas would flow better now. I picked up my stereo remote and pushed play, not really caring what it was, just something to end the silence. Soon, the sound of Beyonce's "work it out" began to pour from my speakers. I tapped my fingers to the beat, and tried to focus.

***GRRR***

That growl didn't come from me. I looked up.

"I don't get it puppy," Kaiba mumbled, "All I have to do is think of a good ad campaign for my newest duel disk system." Suddenly, his head swung down and landed on his desk with a 'thud.' I cringed, that had to hurt

"Owwwww," was his muffled response to his action. To prevent him from doing it again, I began to wrack my brain for ideas to see if I could help. It was just that moment that I realized that one of my favorite songs was currently playing on his stereo. THAT'S IT! Music, everyone listens to music right? In my excitement I began to bark wildly.

***WHATNOW?***

The puppy was now barking wildly, he was out of control! I tried to shush him, but he just got louder, was he trying to tell me something? No, that's impossible, or is it? Well, maybe it will help with this stupid campaign

"WHAT!?" I finally yelled, the puppy stopped and looked confused for a moment, then it bolted off the side of my desk. I held in a laugh when he landed on his face, and watched him run to one of my speakers. He then began to bark EVEN LOUDER! I raised an eyebrow, "you want me to write a jingle?" I asked, not even slightly amused. He growled and ran over to one of my many c.d. racks. He placed his grubby little front paws on one of the shelves and proceeded to pull the c.d.s down onto the floor, "hey!" I yelled running over to where he was.

***CRASH***

A large stack of C.d.s came tumbling down as I tried to get my point across to kaiba. Pfft…jingle indeed, what, did he think I was dumb? Wait…don't answer that. I searched through the titles quickly before he was able to get to me. He grabbed ahold of me and began to pull me away, just then, I snatched a title that looked interesting.

"Give that back!" oooohh Kaiba's pissed. He wrenched to c.d. case from my mouth and I began to bark wildly once again. He paused and looked at the title, he carried me and the c.d. over to his desk and placed both me and it down. "Stupid dog." He grumbled as he piled the cases back onto the shelf. He came back over to me, I was now huddled into the little bed he made me, trying to look adorable so that he wouldn't kill me. He growled then snatched the c.d. back up, and began to study it.

***I CANT BELIEVE YOU***
