a/n: follow-up on 'Cujo' (which I don't own). I like both chapters actually...
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
"That was an excellent movie!" Kai said, when they got out. The others nodded in agreement. They were walking back to Kai's in the dark, and usually Kai wouldn't have, but being in a large group made her feel safer.
Carlos was walking on her right and Yami on her left. Tea, Joey, Tristan and Bakura were sort of just walking in no particular line.
"I have to say, it was better than I expected," Carlos said, drawing Kai's attention back to him.
"Of course it was. Have I ever taken you to a movie you didn't like?" Kai asked him. He thought about it for a minute, then shook his head. Kai grinned. She loved being right. "What did you guys think of it?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at the others.
"It was... a horror," Tea said. She didn't normally like watching them.
"Of course it was," Joey said. "With a name like 'Cujo,' what else would it be?" Tea went slightly red and said nothing.
Suddenly the hairs on the back of Kai's neck stood up. "Sshh!" she whispered, stopping. Her friends stopped too and looked at her.
"What is it?" Yami asked. As if to answer his question, there was a rustle in the bushes at the side of the road. Everyone stood still and watched.
"It's probably a squirrel," Carlos said, trying to sound more confident then he was. Right after seeing a horror movie, this wasn't really what he wanted to be hearing.
There was another rustle and a large pit bull darted out into the road and snarled at the seven of them.
Kai cried out and grabbed Yami's arm. "Ohhh," she moaned. "I hate it when he gets loose. It's the Hanson's dog. He's mean as anything and I think he has it in for me!"
"Go away! Go on, get!" Carlos said, waving his arms at it and stepping forward. The dog snarled and barked a few times and Carlos backed up again.
- This is just great. And right after seeing a movie about a rabid /dog/! - Tea thought, backing up with her friends. The dog started to advance on them, it's eyes fixed on Kai.
"Ohhh," she moaned again, squeezing Yami's arm.
The pit bull barked and picked up it's pace to a run. Kai cried out and shielded her face with her arms. Tea and Joey yelled as well and stumbled backwards.
Kai didn't see Yami step in front of her, making the dog come to a screeching halt. Her eyes were shut tightly.
The dog and Yami glared at each other for a few minutes before it turned and ran back into the bushes. Kai opened her eyes and Yami turned around.
"Are you all right?" he asked. Kai nodded, very shaken.
"Come on, let's go," Tristan said, starting toward the house again.
"Yeah, before it decides to come back!" Tea said.
Carlos broke away from the group a few minutes later to head to his own house. He had no problem walking around in the dark by himself. He was fuming from seeing Kai grab hold of Yami. He had known her for a much longer time; he could protect her far better than that other snake. She should have reached for him. And who did Yami think he was? Playing the hero and stepping in front of Kai like that? Oh it made Carlos so mad. And jealous.

When they got to the house, Tea, Joey, Bakura and Tristan entered first. Before Yami had a chance to go in, Kai put a hand on his shoulder and he turned to her.
"I just want to say... thanks. For back there," she said. It sort of took Yami by surprise, though he wasn't sure why it should.
He nodded as if to say, "You're welcome." Then he turned and entered the house.
Tea, Bakura and Tristan were sitting on the couch and Joey was lounging in the chair.
"It's not likely I'll forget that movie very quickly," Tea was saying.
Tristan nodded. "Especially after tonight."
Kai took a seat next to Bakura on the couch and Yami leaned on the back of it. "That dog is absolutely horrible!" she said, shivering.
"Yeah, too bad Yugi won't be there /all/ the time to save the day," Joey said. Both Kai and Yami went bright red while their friends laughed.
"He was just getting rid of it!" Kai said. "I didn't see you doing anything!"
"Getting rid of it is one thing. Stepping in front of you to defend you is a whole other story," he replied.
"Carlos didn't look to happy when you grabbed onto Yugi's arm. I think he was jealous," Tea said. Kai and Yami went brighter shades of red even still.
"Carlos was just having a bad day I think. He's not normally like that," Kai said. Her friends exchanged looks that said they knew something she didn't. "What?" They shook their heads to say, "Never mind."
Yami scowled. Joey had no right to be pointing fingers. He never got on Joey's case about Mai. And /that/ was obvious. Sometimes it took a lot of will power to suppress those remarks.
"I'm tired, I'm going to bed," Yami said.
"Yeah, me too," Kai agreed, yawning. Tea tried, unsuccessfully, to suppress a laugh. Kai gave her a look and she managed to be quiet. "Night."
"Good night."
"See you tomorrow."
"Night."

Kai entered her room and crawled into her sleeping bag. She tried to clear her mind so she could sleep. It always took longer if she was thinking about stuff. But it wouldn't clear.
She kept seeing 'Cujo' and that pit bull. Only the dogs weren't the focal point...
