Puppy Love

Chapter 14: For Keeps

"The secret of success is to know something nobody else knows." - Aristotle Onassis

Yugi finally reached the card shop upon coming back from his walk with Ginger. He saw Jou there, talking with his grandfather like it was old times' sake. They were so involved in talking to each other that they didn't even notice that Yugi had even walked in through the door. They were both laughing at the time when Jou didn't even know what duel monsters were.

Yugi had remembered all of the times when his grandfather was training Jou to be a duelist. So many memories were held in this old game shop…

All of Yugi's friends had so much fun, bad times and sadness there and it was hard to believe that this old shop could have made him gain so many things.

After a few minuets, Jou finally noticed that Yugi was there and the two began talking like they had when they were attending the same school together. They were able to get caught up on the days of old and new, and also on Jou's life while away from Yugi. The spiky haired teen informed his friend about his little puppy dog visitor and about he and Anzu's relationship. Jou congratulated him and a job well done at acquiring a new girlfriend.

After that, Jou left to go back home.

A few weeks passed and Yugi began to enjoy his life with Ginger.

Finally, the day came when it was time for Anzu to take Ginger back to the ASPCA. Yugi looked sadly at the brown dog, which lay on his floor underneath an old bed cover that he had given her. She had everything that she would ever need here, and he doesn't want to give her back. It was, after all, his care which made her walk again, and it was his care that made Ginger strong.

There was a quaint knock on the door.

It was Anzu.

The young man ran to answer the door, and he opened it to Anzu's smiling face.

"Hi Anzu…" Yugi replied with sorrow.

"Hey Yugi…" Anzu's voice was perky, and then it soon turned to one of concern. "What's wrong?"

"Can't I just keep Ginger for one more day?" Yugi asked. "Just to say good-bye?"

"Well, the rules of the ASPCA are stiff and I was supposed to bring her back today…"

"I can understand if you want to take her now…But I'll miss her being around. She's been like a friend to me, and it is kinda lonely with just grandpa and me." Yugi replied.

"Well…I could always tell that when I came by, you and Ginger weren't there." Anzu sweat dropped.

"You could?" Yugi's eyes lit up with happiness.

"Sure."

"Oh thanks Anzu, you're the best!" The short man took a flying leap at his girlfriend and gave her a squeezing tight hug.

"You're welcome…"

"I can't thank you enough!" Yugi replied.

Anzu decided to stay there and talk with Yugi about Ginger. It turned into a three hour talk about the current cruelty cases and how the ASPCA still had no clues as to who could've been responsible for Ginger's injury. Anzu was determined to bring them to justice, but they still had no leads as to where or who the suspect could be. There were no witnesses, and Ginger just kind of wondered up out of nowhere.

The brunette was surprised at how well the dog had been doing. She looked like she made a full recovery from the lost leg. Ginger could walk and run and do all of the other things that normal dogs could do. She had the same sweet temperament and everything. There were no alterations because of it.

After Anzu left, Yugi hopped on the computer and began doing some research on possible ways to keep Ginger. It was going to be long hours of sitting up all night, but he was determined to get Ginger for keeps this time, with no possible way that anyone could take her away.

One way or another, he was going to find a way to make Ginger his pet and have her live a happy life with him, the happy life she deserves. There was only one question: How could he find a way to keep Ginger before Anzu shows up tomorrow?

As it has been for weeks, time was dwindling and it only moved faster as the hours ticked away from vast searching of the internet.

The moments were counting down and the hunt for a way to keep the dog were in progress!

Chapter 15: A Happy End?
