Chapter Three:
Jounouchi opened his eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling as his vision became clear. He
sat up in confusion.
He was not in his home anymore, he was not on the same couch he had fallen into a
slumber on. Jounouchi found himself in a fancily decorated room, with a large, and rather
comfortable, bed.
He looked around in his state of confusion. There were people in the room with him.
"Mrs.! He's awake! What shall I do!" the younger of the three maids in the room said
whilst running out of it.
The eldest of them took a seat on the bed next to Jounouchi.
"I'd imagine you are quiet confused as to how you've ended up here . .. the Mrs. will
come in and explain everything . . ."
Jounouchi stared back in confusion. He didn't understand at all, he felt he may possibly
be dreaming.
"It's not real . .. was I taken hostage? . . .I don't understand why I'm here .. ."
The one called Mrs. walked into the room. Jounouchi recognized her instantly, it was the
woman from last night.
"Why'd you take me away?"
She snickered at his remark.
"Boy, I couldn't leave you there . .. that's not a place for someone to live within . . . it
was horribly small, filthy . . .and besides . . .I drugged you . . ."
Jounouchi stared nearly shocked.
"Dr . .drugged me! What! Are you kidding me?"
"No . .I did it while you carried my body to your apartment, .. .I felt by finding me you
had already gotten involved in my . . .situation. They saw you . . .I know that for a fact,
because they watch me all of the time, and you are now in trouble with them as well,
because you associated with me."
"Uh, . ..who is them?"
"Why the Mafia of course . . ."
Jounouchi swallowed hard at this.
"The Japanese Mafia type? . . .Or the Italian Mafia type?"
"The Italian type . . .and boy some of their hit men and hit women are rather hostile,
when you found me there in the alleyway I had just got the hell beaten out of me . . .the
lord usually sends his grandchild after me . ..but this time he sent three people to attempt
to murder me . . ."
"Why is the Mafia after you anyway? . . .What did you do to piss them off THAT
much?"
She smiled and sat upon the bed.
"I was once a member myself . . .and poked around in business I should have kept out
of, caused a lot of trouble within, . . .tried to screw everyone over, especially that
horrible grand daughter of his . . .damned if you anger her . .she's crazy, she'll kill you
without thinking. . .but any how I was working for a crime organization in my home
country, Russia, and all hell broke loose .. ..the mafia found out and my hit partner, the
leaders grand daughter, she came after me one night . . and was going to kill me . .but
she killed my husband instead . . .the little bitch ran off after I attacked her with my own
two hands, . . . every now and then she comes for me . . but it's usually one of her little
puppets . . .but any how, you are in deep trouble young man, . .. you are involved in
something horrible, . . .and I have to protect you from it . . ."
Jounouchi blinked a few times and let this all soak in. He felt rather awkward about all
ofthis.
"So their gonna kill me since they saw me with you? That's real stupid . .."
She sighed.
"They've killed every person that they have seen associate with me .. .even some of my
maids have even been taken out, and you boy, are probably going to be next . . .I'm
going to have to make sure you are not harmed. . . by the way, what are you called?
What is your name?"
"Jounouchi Katsuya ."
"Alright, Jounouchi, you will adress me by the Mrs. and the Mrs. ONLY."
"Um ...ok"
"Anyhow, you need to stay here for a while Jounouchi, . . . you can not leave this house,
and I can not stress that enough, if you leave, you will die, and that is a fate you do not
want,."
Jounouchi stared at her with fear in his eyes. She had scared the hell out of him from the
moment they had met.
"I don't want to die . .."
Jounouchi stared at her as his eyes teared up. The harsh reality had hit him like a ton of
bricks. He felt lost, over whelmed, frightened.
She stared back, with that cold dead look on her face she had since the night he first saw
her.
"Lyu'ov'! Nadyezhyea! Watch over Jounouchi! Dovyerie! Come with me! Do not allow
him to leave this house! Show him around, I have some business to take care of ..."the
Mrs. replied as she walked out of the room with one maid behind her. The two women
left in charge of Jounouchi bowed to the Mrs. as she left.
The eldest maid sat on the bed beside Jounouchi.
"Are you hungry? Thirsty? If you need anything please tell me."
"I'm hungry and very thirsty. . ."
She sat up.
"I will bring you breakfast, it will be up shortly."
She left the room.
Jounouchi put his attention on the youngest maid and she smiled at him.
"Don't suppose you play Duel Monsters ..."she said taking a deck out of her pocket.
Jounouchi smiled.
"Yes, I do, and luckily my cards are in my pocket. . ." he replied pulling them out.
"Would you like to duel? It might pass the time, and make your experience here a
pleasant one." she told him with a smile.
Jounouchi nodded and shuffled his deck. . . .
