Chapter One: I Hate Fortune Cookies

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll admit I hate the mutt more than I hate Tea. I hate that stupid dog more than my stepfather! I hate him more than anything in this world! And of all my luck, Yugi Moto, my rival, invites Mokuba and me to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. Mokuba, being the caring sibling he is, made me come along. Here I am. I am surrounded by morons, except for Mokuba.

Tristan is chatting with Malik about motorcycles. Bakura and Marik are deciding ways that they would torture Yami. Yugi and Yami are talking about duel monsters, or some other similar game. Tea is gazing longingly at Yami. Ryou is sitting there twiddling his thumbs like the strange shy boy he is. Duke is flipping dice around, showing off to his ecstatic cheerleaders. Mokuba is talking to Serenity about something that I cannot hear. Joey is talking to Mai. How did I get myself into this mess? I predict that any second now, Joey will be at my throat with his dull, old-doggie teeth.

"May I take your orders?" asks the polite young waitress. She has short black hair and brown, almond-shaped eyes. Her outfit consists of a pink kimono, her name label says Sharon.

"Yes, I'd like chicken teriyaki, with extra sauce," I speak up, clearly making it clear that mistakes would not be tolerated by my standards.

Everyone else ordered nice and peacefully, until it was the idiotic mutt's turn. To say the least, he ordered pizza. Pizza in a Chinese food restaurant? The dog was even stupider than I thought. Maybe he was even illiterate! That would be possible, considering that pizza wasn't on the restaurant's menu.

Fifteen minutes have passed. Mokuba has asked about the food seven times. Joey left to go to the bathroom about two and a half minutes ago. I must use the restrooms too. Even though it is against my hygiene routine to use public restrooms, I don't wish to wet my new trench coat either. I get up and excuse myself. The hall way towards the restrooms is red-kimono style print. Little dragons take up every space. Joey is talking to our waiter, Sharon. That must be why she isn't delivering the food. She leaves, and Joey and I are left alone.

"Kaiba," he sneers, picking an argument.

"Mutt," I answer back, and watch as his eyes spark an infuriated flame.

We fought for about 10 minutes before an elderly lady came along. She was dressed in a similar outfit to Sharon's, except, her name plate said Bethany. She handed each of us a fortune cookie on a silver platter. We ignored her. She insisted, so we took them and two concurrent cracks were heard, as an earthquake rattled the ground beneath us. Our legs shook like mad, and puppy's hair flopped around (mine didn't so much because I use extra-strength gel). Neither of us paid attention to the lady as we walked back to our table, our food was waiting.

We ate normally without a comment about the quake. Strange, I thought someone would bring it up.

!!!Hours Later at the Kaiba Mansion, Seto's POV, his bedroom !!!

Now for a good night's sleep. With that I lie in my bed and fall asleep.

!!!Joey's apartment, Joey's POV!!!

I hope my dad doesn't do anything to me while I sleep. I wish I had such an easy life as Kaiba has. No problems to deal wit. And he is so rich! Seriously the guy eats his money for breakfast and still has enough to go around feeding millions of people for breakfast. That sounded really stupid. I'll go to sleep and see if I'm alive tomorrow. I probably will be, but not in one piece.
