Summery: TEXT BUNNY #22-
While studying the different springs (on a school trip to China), Jou and Kaiba get into an argument over something or other. During their argument, Kaiba gets the insane urge to shove Jou into one of the cursed springs. After all, Kaiba doesn't believe in curses. At first, everyone doesn't think that Jou will surface, but when he does, he's a dog! ...
In response to Bakura's review, I edited this chapter slightly.
Chapter Two
------------------------------
Looking up at the bright red sign, he knew right now that he was most likely going to get bitten in the ass for this. Literally.
Pets Mart. He was in the parking lot for Pets Mart.
It was a hot day, and he didn't really want to leave Jou in the car. It would get quite hot in the car before Seto would be able to get the appropriate help he needed inside.
However, waking up Jounouchi would most likely leave him with a hole in his ass.
Decisions, decisions.
Jounouchi would take it wrongly (which he had a right to, considering) and then whatever somewhat illusion of a truce they had would be broken.
Then, Seto got an idea.
He shut off the idling car, got out and went to the passengers side. He opened the door slowly and scooped up the sleeping canine form, and shut the door with his foot.
He carried Jou into Pets Mart, and then stumbled down the food aisle. He then had to partially wake up the sleeping dog to set him on the ground.
Seto then contemplated the grandeurs of...rabbit feed. Mokuba had said something about getting the purple bag.
Spotting the bag, he attempted to pull it off the shelf. Off the shelf it came, with difficulty, and right onto the floor, waking Jou up.
It evidently didn't take Jounouchi long to catch up with what was happening, and he stalked off without Seto noticing.
Seto was more concerned about getting the sixty pound bag to stop hugging his feet. Concerned and spouting quite a colorful array of words.
-------------Jou--------------
Greeeeeeat. He brought me to a damn pet store. And I will not eat dog food. Will not. I'd rather starve. I've heard what they put in the cheaper brands.
No matter what, I'm not about to chance a taste of plastic garbage bags and poison.
Even without that, the stuff smells bad, and I'm quite sure that the taste buds on my tounge would be quite happy with a piece of perperoni pizza, or a nice grilled steak.
I wonder what he was getting me. Hmm. Lessee. Where's Kaiba...why is that bag of rabbit feed attacking him?
...Rabbit feed?
"Dammit Mokuba...why couldn't you have told me before I went on that damned trip that you were running out of food?"
Heh. Either Mokuba is in a somewhat similar situation, or has a furry friend of his own.
------------------------------
Jou left and found an employee, standing idly, foot propped up on a yellow dolly. Jou got a good idea.
He woke the employee up by head-butting the man's shins. He blinked down at Jou, eyes slightly glazed. The glaze left quickly however.
Having a dog go suddenly from playful to aggressive on neutral ground does that to you.
Jou slowly shepherded the employee two aisles down, to where now only the bag of rabbit feed sat on the floor. He then stopped his growling and grabbed the ankle of the man's pants and drug him towards the bag. He then stopped and looked up at the employee with shining, liquid eyes.
The employee made a great show of looking from the bag, to the dog, then to the two-wheel dolly he was still clutching in his hand. "You," he pointed to Jou, "want me to put that," he pointed from him to the bag, "on here?" He pointed to the dolly.
Jou made an equally great show of nodding.
The employee did as requested, and then stood there, puzzled as to what to do next.
When Jou started to growl again, he backed away and said, although very shakily, "Can't I just follow you?"
Jou of course stopped growling and gave a canine grin at the employee's sudden 'smartness'. He lead the way to the cashier.
The employee followed, dumbfounded.
------------------------------
Seto cursed when he came back down the feed aisle. His bag of yet-to-be-bought feed was gone. He cursed further once he realized that Jounouchi was no where to be seen.
"Um," came the voice of one of the cashiers over the intercom, "if someone is missing their dog...um...heh...he kinda went shopping for you..."
Seto quirked an eyebrow and strode towards the registers.
Seeing the golden retriever now known as Jou, calmly sitting beside a rather shaky, pale employee with a purple bag of rabbit feed was enough to stun Kaiba Seto. Correction: He was flabbergasted.
Jou then stood. The employee eyed him warily. "Am I following you yet?"
The woman cashier next to him snickered...that is until Jou turned to her, growled, turned to the male employee and nodded. And walked through the register aisle for the feed to be paid for.
The male employee did as requested and turned to Seto tiredly. "He's your dog?"
Seto thought for a second. "No...I'm in care of him though."
The male employee looked at him. "I pity you."
------------------------------
Once in the car, Seto turned to Jounouchi. "You enjoyed doing that, didn't you?"
Jou could only give him a canine grin.
------------------------------
I've wanted to do that scene ever since I thought of it. Jou pushing people around. To help Seto. Hehe.
