A/N: Yay! Another chapter. Sorry about how long it took. I've been pretty busy with summer work and friends and all.
A big thank you to all my reviewers: HellsEternalFlame, Icy Sapphire15, Growing Pain, Zombiedarkelf18, King Mana, Jazzy, MOG, Nata-chan, DarkShadowsprite, and Caecuslupa. You guys are awesome. :)
Rating changed to T, because I read the rating guides wrong the first time XD
Anyway, here's the next chapter! It's kinda sloppy.. maybe I'll edit it later when I have the time.
Previously…
"Mutt," Kaiba began, "you're still drooling."
"Wha..?" Jou replied, still entranced by the luxury of Kaiba's home and continued to stand with his mouth open. More saliva was threatening to spill out of the corner of his mouth.
Kaiba rolled his eyes and snorted. "Just go in damnit," he said as he pushed Jou into his house. "And goddamnit, stop drooling."
Jou snapped out of his trance and wiped the remaining saliva on his chin. "Sorry Kaiba, but I'm jus' not used to a house this big. And boy, is this house big!"
Kaiba grunted in response. He then snatched the baby doll out of Jou's hands, which was followed by a "Why the hell did you do that!" from Jou.
"Because I don't want you drowning the doll with your spit," Kaiba quipped, which received a growl from Jou. "Is the puppy angry? Does the dog want a chew toy?"
Jou clenched his fists but refused to do anything to Kaiba. Instead, between clenched teeth, he forced out, "Do you think you can show me around this place?"
Amused, Kaiba answered, "Good. The puppy knows who his master is. Alright then, heel, pup, heel," as he started up the stairs. Kaiba proceeded to show Jou the different rooms in the house.
"There's the bathroom, library, my room…" At that point, Jou ran into Seto Kaiba's room. Kaiba shook his head and followed suit. When he entered his room, he saw the pup admiring his Blue Eyes White Dragon sculpture carved out of… wood.
Kaiba's room was big for a bedroom; his bed was also huge with fluffy pillows and a comfy looking blanket. There was nothing out of the ordinary about his room. Its walls were barely decorated with anything. In fact, there was not much decorating Kaiba's room in the first place, except a few pictures of Mokuba and him from when they were younger, his laptop, and the wooden Blue Eyes White Dragon Jou was admiring.
Jou ran his fingers over the creation and admired how smooth it was. "Did you make this, Kaiba?" Jou inquired.
"No, Mokuba made it for my birthday," Kaiba stated.
"Say… where is Mokuba anyway?" asked Jou.
"Mokuba's still at school. He won't be getting out until a couple hours or so," Kaiba answered.
"Oh," was the only reply Jou gave as he kept on admiring the Blue Eyes White Dragon. A while later, they finally left the room, and Kaiba continued showing Jou the rest of the house.
"Here's Mokuba's room, the woodshop…"
At the sound of the word 'woodshop' Jou's eyes bulged wide open. "You have a woodshop!" he exclaimed as he rushed in and started examining all the different tools in the room. Jou's smile widened as he noticed the huge stacks of wood piled up in the back. "Say… Kaiba, why do you have a woodshop anyway?"
Kaiba scoffed and said, "It's not for me. It's for Mokuba. This is where he made that dragon sculpture in my room. And apparently, he gets enjoyment out of using these machines to carve wood. So do you, I presume."
Jou grinned, "I wanna be an architect when I get outta college. Or maybe a construction worker."
"That's great. You can design AND build doghouses for you and your family," Kaiba retorted.
Jou sneered, "Well, at least I know how to build one. Do you know how to work any of these machines moneybags?"
Kaiba growled. The mutt had a point; last time, he tried to work one of the dreadful machines, the outcome was not pretty.
Flashback to a couple weeks ago
"I can't believe I'm doing this…" Kaiba mumbled as he put on goggles to start working on whatever Mokuba wanted him to make.
"Aaw, come on, big bro! What can go wrong! I'm just gonna teach you how to make a pen!" Mokuba replied cheerfully.
"Mokuba. I have plenty of pens. Why do I need to learn how to make a pen when I already have thousands of them in my desks?"
"Because you promised me Seto!" Mokuba shouted as he stuck out his bottom lip to form a pout.
Damnit. Kaiba knew he couldn't resist that face. He sighed and gave in. Really though… what could go wrong?
15 minutes later…
"Honestly, Seto," Mokuba managed to say in between fits of laughter, "I still don't get how you managed to cause a fire with a router…"
End Flashback
"Well Kaiba? Do you know how to work any of these machines?" Jou asked.
A grunt was the only reply Kaiba gave.
"I guess not," Jou teased. "Now who's the master?"
Kaiba grunted once again and quickly added, "Shut up and just let me show you your room."
So off they went, down the hall, until Kaiba pointed at a door and said, "There's your room, Mutt."
Jou took a step in and was astonished by what he saw. This room looked like Kaiba's room, except nothing was adorned in it, yet it still retained a beautiful, bright look. Jou thought this room seemed like it hadn't been touched for years.
"Guess ya don't use this room too much, do ya Kaiba?" Jou asked.
"No. I rarely have visitors over. It's usually just Mokuba and me," Kaiba answered. His answer though seemed to be more sullen, so Jou thought he'd change the subject.
"Where's the baby gonna sleep?"
Kaiba raised his eyebrow. "What?"
"The baby, Kaiba. He's gonna need a crib to sleep in." Jou then grabbed the doll and started rocking it back and forth.
"That doll does not need a crib. It can sleep in the bath tub." The doll started crying.
"What? No! It's supposed to be our baby! If you had a kid, you wouldn't let him sleep in the bath tub! And look, you made him cry! There... there..."
"Fine, Mutt. We'll get a damn crib for the baby!"
Jou only grinned widely in reply as he finally got the doll to cease crying, but his stomach suddenly grumbled. "Eh heh, think you could show me where the kitchen is?" he asked.
Kaiba scoffed. "Follow me, pup," and they went down the stairs into the kitchen.
Jou was ravishing for food by the time they both got to the kitchen. Once he saw the enormous refrigerator Kaiba had, he set the doll down on a counter and immediately helped himself to whatever was inside the fridge.
'Typical Mutt," Kaiba thought to himself.
Jou took out a huge pie and also took out a spray-can of whipped cream. With it, he proceeded to spray his pie with huge loads of whipped cream. Kaiba watched and was amused as he silently ate some chicken.
Jou's eyes were full of glee as he grabbed his fork; he was about to grab a big piece of pie to eat when suddenly his plate was gone. He glanced to his left and saw Kaiba had his plate with his pie.
Jou glared. "Gimme back my pie moneybags!"
"Tsk tsk. Pups don't eat pie. It's bad for them. Here, you can have this bone," Kaiba chided as he placed the bone from his eaten chicken onto a different plate and set it in front of Jou.
"Give… me… my… pie… Kaiba," Jou said, seething with anger.
"I don't think so pup. Plus, this pie looks like it tastes good," Kaiba replied as he took a fork and ate a piece, then another and another until Jou couldn't take it anymore.
He grabbed the can of whipped cream and started to spray Kaiba with it. "That was my pie, bastard!"
Kaiba was caught off guard as foamy white cream came in contact with his face. He wiped it off with the back of his hand only to see Jou tackling him. Kaiba fell with an 'oomph' as Jou fell right on top of him.
Kaiba was in an uncomfortable position with Jou basically straddling him. Now, Jou probably would've noticed and gotten off him, but he was still too furious over his pie to notice.
"That… was… my… pie… bastard," Jou repeated.
At that point, they both heard footsteps that came nearer and nearer to the kitchen until a mass of black hair popped up. Mokuba.
"Big brother! I'm hom… oh. Am I interrupting something?" he asked with a smirk. "Okay then Seto, I'll leave you two alone and you can explain everything later!" He bounced out of the room, still with a smirk on his face.
Seto and Jou both groaned in unison.
Sorry about how corny this chapter is XD I'm not a really good writer... so once again, I'm sorry!
Well, all that over a pie, haha. And boy, they have a lot of explaining to do for Mokuba XD
Hope you enjoyed this chapter... even just a lil bit. Until next time :)
