A/N: Hi! I'm actually jewboy5's friend Shizuka ame, but I'm typing this out for him. The story is his idea, but he was too chicken to post it. So I'm doing it for him. Heh heh, never tell your password to your best friend *evil grin*. Anyway, please review at the end of the story, I'm sure jewboy5 will appreciate it.
*Note* This story takes place a day or two after Yusuke is revived, he hasn't gotten any missions yet.
Keiko walked cautiously into Yusuke's house, trying to avoid all the garbage and dirty clothes littering the floor. It didn't help that she had brought a visitor as well.
"Yusuke!" she called, stepping forward and slipping on a discarded soda can.
"Yusuk- ahhh!" she fell down and landed hard on a pile of books.
"Ouch….Yusuke where are you!" Keiko pulled herself off the floor (not that you could see it) and stood up shakily, rubbing her backside where she had fallen.
As she continued walking through the incredibly messy house followed by the other guest, she found Yusuke sleeping on the floor surrounded by empty potato chip bags, snoring lightly.
"Yusuke!" yelled Keiko, grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling his face up to hers. Yusuke opened his eyes only a little and mumbled.
"Wha'dyou wan Keiko?"
"Yusuke! It's 4:00 and you're still asleep! No wonder you weren't at school! What's wrong with you!"
"Ahhhh! Keiko! I'm awake, I'm awake!" he said, jumping back and holding his ears, still ringing from Keiko's screaming fit.
"What do you want anyway?!"
Keiko seemed annoyed by his response, but brushed it off and pointed to the figure standing behind her.
"A dog?" Yusuke said, rubbing his head and looking utterly confused.
"His name is Copper. He's my friend's dog and she asked me to take care of him for a while, but I need to go shopping. Would you mind watching him until I get back please?"
"Whatever Keiko….say, what kinda dog is that? It looks pretty scrawny to me, are you sure you're feeding it enough?"
Keiko let out an exasperated sigh.
"He's a Beagle Yusuke. He's supposed to be small!"
"Ahhh! Stop yelling so much!" said Yusuke, covering his ears again.
"You're the one who's always yelling!" retorted Keiko, her temper flaring.
Copper looked from one person to the other, panting a little and wagging his tail, obviously amused at the two friends' argument. Keiko finally lost it and stormed out of the house, not even caring when she stepped of a half-eaten sandwich. Yusuke looked at Copper. Copper looked at Yusuke. There was silence.
"So…" said Yusuke, ending the staring contest. "What do you want to do?"
Copper looked at him curiously, then started to lift his back leg.
"No you stupid dog! Don't do that in here!" Yusuke quickly picked up Copper and ran outside with him.
Yusuke sighed and sat down on the front lawn as he waited for Copper to finish.
'Keiko's likely to be gone for hours! What am I supposed to do with a stupid dog till then!' he thought, hugging his knees and resting his head on his arms.
A/N: Well, short but sweet! I hope jewboy5 doesn't get too mad at me for posting this…heh heh.
