Little Red Riding Hood
Chapter 2
The sound of a loud "home by three days grace" echoed the dark streets as a drunken under-aged dark-fluffy-haired boy threw the bar door wide open..
He half walked half swinged 'till the end of the street under a broken street light where gravity overtook him and he fell to the ground..
The sky was raining dinosaurs*.. Otogi was soaked to the bone.. he was too drunk to get up.. even if he got up, where would he go? No way he was going back to his mansion in that state.. Not that he'd make it there.. the rain will soon wake him sober, he thought
He just sat there on the ground feeling the heavy rain drops on his skin.. rolling back the events of his latest days.. not so good.
The business he's running isn't running as well anymore.. everyone around him expects him to be something better.. but he gave it all he's got.. no one could see that..
He always had plans for what to do next.. this time, he just decided to go with the first crazy idea that came to his mind.. so he just waited for the idea to come..
●..|-[₪]-|..●
Running down the streets as fast as he possibly can.. he somehow didn't slip.. yet
[flashback:
"I MUST go" Jounouchi did his best not to shout at his best friend. "she's my sister, yugi. I already packed some hot soup and medicine for her" continued Jou as he pulled his backpack and headed to the door.
Yugi followed him and tried to stop him saying: "But katsuya, outside.. it's….." Jou already figured out what yugi wanted to say.. a slap back to reality..
It was like he was splashed with a glass of water.. but the water never stopped splashing..
Jou was in a shock, so Yugi closed the door for him..
-"you can't go out in this kind of weather"
-"For my little sister I will" Jou stated
-"fine" sighed Yugi.. but he wasn't giving up completely "just hold on for a minute.. I'll get you a jacket"
Jou half giggled at the idea.. no jacket of his little friend would reach any further than his belly.. In hell he was gonna wear such a thing.. there'd be no point in wearing it anyway
A baby sized jacket was very likely common.. but the red jacket that Yugi came back with was unexpected..
He tried it on even though it freaked him out.. the color was a whole different issue.. a bright red very very big very very long jacket.. when yugi held it out for Jou it covered the multi-colored boy!
where on earth did he find this enormous sized jacket? And the color! Who would wear such a thing? I'm sure it's not a coat.. it's a jacket.. but for what.. a who can't possibly be fit to this.. Jou thought to himself.. Even though he made sure he kept that only a thought.. his eyes gave him away
"I know it's big.. but I can't let you go out in a pair of shorts, a shirt and freaking sandals!"
"Ya know I didn't have time to buy shoes since everythin's gone.. and that jacket is way bigger than ya think"
"it would keep you dry, wouldn't it?"
"look at me!" Jou pointed to the jacket that touched his knees..
"I'm looking at you" Yugi had that sincere look in his eyes that told Jou he wasn't leaving without that jacket.
Jou took Yugi's cell phone to contact his sister and left the house headed to the hotel where his sister stayed..
:End flashback]
Jou cursed the jacket under his breath as he continued running.. He took the cell phone from his pocket.. he needed directions..
After struggling to get the cell phone from under the very very big very very long embarrassing red jacket.. he prayed no one noticed him.. even though that was hard..
He dialed his sister's number.. it ringed a couple of times then she answered.. her voice was sick.. soft and crunched up.. she kept on coughing..
He stopped for a while to take his breath "yeah I'm on my way.. aha.. no no I'm okey" his hand flew to the back of his head.. "yea I know.. I'll just ask for directions.. 404 4th floor.. got it" he got off the phone and looked around him.. he wished he didn't have to do this..

Otogi saw a red figure running from a far than stop besides him.. he thought that was Santa.. a shaved-beard-Santa.. then he noticed that the shaved-Santa was on the phone..
Somehow Santa sounded so familiar.. it was almost like he was….. no way! Is that Jounouchi Katsuya? Thought Otogi.. he noticed Jounouchi was taking an address.. this could be my crazy plan! Otogi thought about it for a second then he found it perfect..
He waited 'till Jou finished his talk on the phone that he knew very well was Yugi's.. Jou wouldn't have a pendent of koribo.. otogi stood up behind him.. he poked Jou who jumped up in surprise.. he turned to see what poked him.. when Jou saw what he saw he jumped up again
Otogi was so wet his hair was all over his face and his skin was so pale.. he must have caught cold
"O..o.o..otogi?" Jou looked shocked..
"are you lost?" said Otogi as he leaned at Jou..
Jou blushed.. but not for the reasons Otogi thought of.. Jou felt so embarrassed to be seen wearing that corny jacket.. eventually.. Jou thought that not only the jacket looked wrong.. his shorts and sandals were so not fit.. specially in that weather.. he wanted to be invisible..
"no' really.. my sister came to town and I dun know the direction to the hotel she's at"
"I can help you with that.. I know the area" the idea was forming in otogi's mind.. he smirked at that..
"really? Ya know the tower hotel?"
"sure thing..walk down the street then take the second turn to the right.. you can't miss a tower that high" Otogi faked a smile to hide his big grin..
Jou found that weird.. maybe Otogi was a fine person after all.. but the condition he was in was rather confusing.. he wanted to ask what happened but his sis was waiting for him.. so he took off
"that should delay him for a while.. 404 huh?.. I'm having fun tonight" said Otogi watching Jou run the long street while he took the first turn a few steps away.. that would lead him to the main entrance of the tower hotel..
A fact hit Otogi as he stood in front of the room Jou's sister was in.. this hotel belonged to that cocky CEO.. he turned on his heels and headed back to the ground floor..
Shizuka can wait.. He had a mission to complete..
●..|-[₪]-|..●
"damn that dice boy..couldn't he tell me 'bout the short way?" cursed Jou as he entered the hotel.. all eyes were on him.. the way he looked was just outstanding.. add to that all the mud that covered him from tripping over a bum's leg.. he was a Mud Monster
The first thing he's gonna do is take a shower then take care of his sister.. he couldn't stand himself.. he went to the elevator.. noticing the big clock besides it he didn't think it was that late.. it was already 2:30 AM
Would his sister still be awake?..he wondered
His phone rang at an incoming message.. it was from an unknown number.. he read it and rode the elevator..
Tell me your thoughts.. ^^
(*) it's like when they say it's raining cats and dogs.. :s
