The third X; A guard's duty, Jou's Tale

Jounouchi looked back and forth in the halls, the flame in the torch liked the ceiling and danced in its holder, "Nobody has ever tried to break into the castle in a long time.. " he murmured to himself and scratched an itch on his arm. Jou, as he liked to be called, heard his stomach grumble and looked up at the sky.

The sound of footsteps coming his way made him smile, Honda must be coming to take over the rest of the watch as promised. The sweating Honda came running down the halls, "Sorry I'm late Jou." He said and then grinned when he heard his best friends' stomach growl, "Hungry?" he asked. Jou shrugged, "Who wouldn't I've been here all day, see yah later, I'm gonna go get me some thin' to eat." With a wave of his sword-hand he walked down the marble halls to the kitchen were he would grab some grub.

When he got there he heard something, something that made even him, a warrior of a thousand battles, shudder, a scream. Jou stopped in his tracks. "I wonder what happened.." he mumbled before heading inside the kitchen and pestering the chef for grub.
