The Wisest Teacher of All
A Maximillion Pegasus fanfic
*I DO NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters sadly…*
Chapter 1. Default Chapter aka The Beginning
Maximillion Pegasus had just left a business meeting at his company's headquarters in Domino City, Japan. It was a stormy day in Mid-March. He had come out the back door in order to avoid the press. Even though it had been a year since his Dualist Kingdom Tournament, the paparazzi would not leave him alone about his defeat at the hands of a child. It honestly got on his nerves. That was his past, and he had moved on; they needed to as well. He had given up drinking (for the most part), had tried to be a better person (for the most part), and had stopped torturing his man slaves I mean security team (again for the most part; he had to have some kind of hobby).
He walked around the corner into a side alleyway. It was dark, dank, and dreary, and he could not wait to get in his nice warm limousine and go home. As he passed by a dumpster, he heard a slight whimpering sound. He wrote it off as just a figment of his imagination till he heard it a second time. "Croquet!" he called.
"Sir?"
"Come here." Croquet did as he was told and approached his employer cautiously, hoping he had done nothing wrong to deserve reprimanding. "Find out what is making that noise." Croquet did not know what he was looking for seeing as he had himself not heard the noise. He just started snooping around the dumpster looking for something he could write off as the cause. That's when he saw it. He picked it up and turned around to show it to his boss. "It's a puppy, sir. Looks abandoned." Maximillion stared at the small canine. It was a deep rich brown color with matching eyes. Maximillion knew it to be a large breed due to its paw size. Needless to say they were quite large. The dog looked ratty, hungry, and soaking wet. It smelt worse than it looked.
"Bring it to the limo, Croquet."
"But sir!"
"No buts. The pup needs a home."
"But who will care for it? Need I remind you that none of the staff are allowed to have pets, sir?"
"I will of course!" Maximillion stated. Croquet looked skeptically at his boss. The last time this man was trusted to have a pet was years ago, and it was a goldfish. Worse is that it died due to malnourishment a week later, because somebody didn't feed it.
"Are you sure Master Pegasus?"
"Yes of course. I need a new friend in my life. Now hurry up. We have to get poor Tiny here to the vet immediately if not sooner."
"Tiny, sir? This dog looks to be a Neapolitan Mastiff."
"Precisely." And that was the end of that. Croquet carried the puppy back to the limousine where, much to his surprise, his master took off his suit coat and wrapped the small pup in it. 'Maybe that man has a heart,' thought Croquet. "To the veterinarian, driver, and step on it!"
