Okay sorry for the delay, all my teachers gave me a project in every class...*ugh* anyway just about done with them, so here is chapter 2!
Chapter 2-Puppy of Home
After a long day at school, Jou went to the arcade for his afternoon ritual. Every afternoon he, Yugi, Honda, and Otogi would go to the arcade to play for a few hours. But before they would play they would duel to decide who didn't have to pay. The winner of their tourney would have a free afternoon complements of the losers. So needless to say, Yugi never paid. But Jou insisted one day he would win so they dueled everyday.
First it was Jou vs. Honda. It was quick with Jou finishing Honda with his red eyes in a couple of turns.
Then Yugi vs. Otogi. Yugi had a little harder time winning considering that Otogi was more familiar with the game than Honda but in the end he took Otogi's remaining life points with his Silent Magician.
Finally Jou vs. Yugi, this match was the one that varied from day to day. Jou was always trying different strategies to win. But it ended the way as the rest. Jou made the mistake of attacking a face down monster on Yugi's field not evening thinking about Marshmelon, thus he lost his remaining life points.
Jou had spent a few more hours at the arcade before home. He lived in an apartment on the not the best side of town. It was a rundown old building with so many illegal activities going on inside, they should just put bars in the windows and call it a jail. But despite all the trouble it causes, Jou still called it home sweet home.
As he approached his apartment he dug around in his pocket and pulled out his key. He unlocked the door and checked the mail. He reached in the box and felt something plush. He pulled it out to find another little stuffed puppy, just like the one in his locker. He took the note off the back and read:
Where you grow up shapes that you are and some don't how some are shaped. But I will accept you for all of you, your past, present, and future.
Jou sighed and walked in the house. When he walked in and he smell beer and heard snoring with the TV on poker.
'So dad started early today, well better lock my bedroom door or it might happen again,' Jou thought sadly. He left the regular mail on the table and headed off to his room. Once inside he locked the door, laid down on his bed, and stared at the two notes.
'What do they mean? Who wrote them? Why did they write them?' he asked knowing he won't get his answer.
Jou got up and grabbed the two plushies from his bag and put them up on a shelf. Then grabbed the note and put them in his desk drawer, safe. After he went back his bed and fell asleep to dream about the Mystery Puppy Pen Pal.
