Author's Note: So I'm here, thinking to myself, "How far can I take it about Jonouchi Katsuya being a mutt?" If you think about it, Joey in almost every yaoi I've ever read is always, ALWAYS on bottom! Why is this? I mean, I know Kaiba is obviously the kind to dominate him, but still. Doesn't anyone ever have that desire to tear Kaiba off his pedestal so he can stop preaching to the world? Well, here's a bit of Joey Wheeler revenge to those of you who cheer for the underdog. ;)

Kaiba had fallen asleep with his suit still on, the only article of clothing he had shed were his shoes when he came in through the door. He didn't even know if it was his room, Mokuba's, or even one of the empty, dust filled guest rooms he never used or assigned to be a designated office space. At one point during the night he had taken his jacket off and pulled it over his head to block out the light. Exhausted, he hadn't been able to find the light switch and just thought screw it. What did he give a damn about the electric bill? He could afford to buy Domino City ten times with enough left over for a private island if he chose.

Thankfully, one his maids must have caught sight of him sleeping and turned the light off. When Kaiba opened his eyes a crack a few hours later, the only light streaming in through his open window was yellow. One of his outside lights that turned off after dark to drive away intruders. If they could get past the guard dogs, security guards, and somehow avoid all the security cameras they were golden.

Kaiba blinked tiredly, wondering what had woke him up. Usually he could sleep through anything if he was this exhausted. Once even having passed out during a thunderstorm outside that kept Mokuba up most of the night due to the noise rather than any personal childhood fear. As Kaiba contemplated just drifting back off to sleep or getting up to see if he could hunt down something to eat, he heard a slight rustle in the room.

Kaiba's body went rigid, as he tried to pinpoint the noise. It had been a quiet noise, but it had sounded like cloth against skin. He squinted out the window trying to see if it wasn't the wind, but of course it wasn't. It was spring, and the weather had been cool and sunny all day.

Get a hold of yourself. Kaiba berated himself mentally for being scared of the dark. Especially when there was nothing for him to fear. He had taken self-defense classes up until he became CEO of KaibaCorp. Even if some ransom fanatic managed to get past his security Kaiba knew he could still dispatch them without the blink of an eye.

Then he heard a distinct rustle again.

Kaiba growled silently to himself, cursing his security. He didn't move, however, waiting until he heard the intruder approach closer with slow, soft footsteps. When he was positive they were only a few feet away, Kaiba flew out of bed, flinging his jacket at what he thought was his would-be-kidnapper. What he hadn't expected was the deep throated growl he received in response.

Automatically, Kaiba's eyes locked on the direction the growl was coming from and he froze. His jacket had missed this intruder by a long shot, but standing only a few inches away from the jacket was a huge, snarling husky.

The dog's fangs were huge, his lips pulled back and eyes slightly crazed as he glared at Kaiba. His entire back was slightly arched, ready for a spring as his hair stood on end. Even in the pale light the husky's fur glinted gold as brown eyes glared at him. Slightly foaming at the mouth, the husky let out a another low growl, inching closer to Kaiba as if stalking him.

Kaiba froze, trying to remember what to do. Don't make any sudden movements, no loud noises…

The husky let another snarl, opening his mouth a bit show off even more sharp canines. Trying not to look the dog directly in the eyes, Kaiba very slowly knelt on the plush Persian carpet, keeping his breath even and slow. Calm.

Kaiba had seen dog's of various breeds before. Especially when he visited potential clients and they couldn't help but show off mongrels that had cost them thousands of dollars in breeding to get them to win even the tiniest recognition at dog shows. This dog, however, was huge. His snout was a big longer than most dogs, not to mention how huge his paws were. At the shoulder the husky was at least four feet tall, and Kaiba could see the corded muscle rippling under his lush fur coat. His front canines were at least six inches long, way to big for a domesticated animal.

Kaiba could do nothing as the huge creature stalked closer, resembling a wolf rather than a husky. A hybrid, perhaps? As it drew closer the animal stuck his nose right into Kaiba's face. He smelled the rancid breath of what he was now positive was a wolf, as if it had just eaten fresh meat.

Foam began to leak out of the wolf's partially open maw as it thrust its muzzle forward. His snout brushing the tip of Kaiba's nose as it smelled his fear. Getting excited, it let out another low growl. Blood stained his teeth as Kaiba pressed his back up against the bed, trying to distance as much as possible from this beast. Dammit! Caught between a rabid wolf and the bed, nothing he had trained for had ever prepared him for death. Swaying back and forth, the wolf's eyes locked on Kaiba's.

Kaiba glared directly at him despite warning bells in his head. Entranced, he began to rock slightly back and forth. Those eyes…..there was an intelligence there. The wolf felt so familiar, but he couldn't place it. After a while the wolf began to back up slowly, occasionally emitting a low snarl to get his point across. HE was the one in charge here. HE decided when HE was done toying with HIS prey.

Catching his breath, Kaiba began to hope he had lucked out. That perhaps this hybrid would turn around and lope out of the room, through the open door, back to its master, and he Kaiba would call animal control to have this mutt put down. Unconsciously, Kaiba's eyes flicked to the door and he felt his heart skip a beat.

The door was closed. And locked.

Kaiba's gaze went back to the wolf just as it lunged at his throat.

Cliché cliffhanger? Yeah, I bet it is. But I will not continue unless I get some feedback. Reviews, people. You know you want to, Joey gets to be on top. ;)
