Nightmare

Another boring, uneventful day had passed. Finally, the school day was over. Yugi and his friends, Tea, Tristan, and Joey had just gotten out of the school building. It had been a couple of months since the Battle City Tournament, and Yugi's victory was still the main topic among his friends.

"Remember how you whooped Kaiba's butt in the Battle City Finals?" Joey said enthusiastically.

"Joey, this is about the hundredth time we've had this conversation." Tea said in a bored voice.

"Oh yeah? Then when was the last time we had this conversation? Huh?"

"This morning." Tristan replied, "Before school, and then again at lunch."

"Well…" Joey started when Yugi cut him off.

"You realize how much homework we've gotten lately? It's hard to keep up with all this stuff we're learning." Yugi hauled his backpack higher up on his shoulders. They were half way across the school grounds when they saw Kaiba.

"Hey look! It's Kaiba!" Joey sneered.

"What do you want mutt?" Kaiba sneered back rudely.

"Come on!" Tea said to Joey, as she pulled Joey away. "We don't want any trouble like we had yesterday."

Yesterday, Kaiba had humiliated Joey in front of everyone, because Joey was talking about Kaiba's defeat really loudly in front of him.

Kaiba smirked as Joey was being dragged away by Tea, followed by Yugi and Tristan.

"Don't call me mutt! I'll start calling you mutt and dog too!" Joey called out. Kaiba just smirked at this.

"But I'm not a mutt, or a dog, but you on the other hand…" he didn't finish his sentence.

He started walking home quickly. He had all of a sudden felt sick to his stomach. He darted into an alley that was close by and hurled. He didn't understand why he felt sick all of a sudden, and the feeling got worse. He took of his white coat, it was heavy and weighing him down, then fell to his knees as the pain increased. His black clothes started melding into his skin as it turned to black fur. Kaiba watched horrified as his hands turned into paws and the rest of his body transformed, until he looked like a Black Labrador.

The pain had left him. He was now standing on all fours. He looked down at his paw disbelievingly. 'I must be dreaming', he thought, but it seemed so real. What was he going to do? He decided to curl up on the ground and go to sleep. Maybe when he woke up, he'll be in his bed, at home, about to get ready for the new school day.
