Lu: Hey, y'all! Thanks for the reviews!
Yami Lu: I can't believe people bother to review you.
Lu: Well, they do. I've been seeing loads of pictures of the Doom Arc series which prove that Mai and Joey and Yami and Tea like each other. Go see them yourself. Just look at all the piccies! Ooh, we were so happy when we found this site.
Yami Lu: Yeah, Lu and Inwe were dying of happiness.
Lu: BTW, Inwe-Linwelin, who is mentioned in many future chapters, has changed her pen-name to Hysterik-Angel, so you can now find her story, Shadow of Reality. Anyway, on with the chapter.
Chapter 3 - Support
They entered the building. Duellists all around stared at Joey, crawling beside Kaiba. Kaiba entered a room with Joey at his side. There were two duellists there: Yugi as the spirit of his Millenium Puzzle and Rex Raptor.
"Joey?" exclaimed Tea, standing at the sidelines.
"Woof," said Joey.
"Kaiba, how can you do this to him?" said Tristan. He was furious, his brown eyes showed that. Kaiba smiled.
"We did have a deal," he smirked.
"Joey, why don't you just stand up?" demanded Tea.
"I don't think you know how much dose shoes hurt," said Joey. Kaiba nudged him again. Joey howled.
"Joey, are you OK?" shouted Yami, the spirit of Yugi's Millenium Puzzle, from the duelling podium. He looked exactly the same as Yugi, except about half a foot taller and he had blonde streaks through the centre of each of the arms of the star.
"Bow wow," muttered Joey in reply, massaging his ribs where Kaiba had kicked him.
"Now, mutt, sit," said Kaiba. Joey sat down cross legged. "No, mutt, sit like a dog," said Kaiba. Joey got back onto his knees and sat on them. "There's a good boy," said Kaiba gleefully.
"Kaiba, leave Joey alone," shouted Yami.
"We made a deal, and now he has to hold up his end of the bargain," said Kaiba.
"Joey, why don't you just call off the deal?" said Tea.
"No, I made a..." started Joey, but then stopped. "Woof, woof," he said sourly. Kaiba patted him on the head.
"Now you're getting the hang of it, mutt," said Kaiba. Joey looked like he could kill, but he stayed where he was.
"Remember, Joey, this is the first out of ten days you will have to do this," reminded Yami. Joey nodded.
"Let's begin this duel!" yelled Rex. It was the first thing he had said since Joey and Kaiba had entered the room. Yami turned to Rex and nodded.
"Why are you duelling?" asked Joey, and then realised he had talked, and cowered as Kaiba nudged him once more.
"We ran into Rex on the way home from school," explained Tea. "He wanted to prove that he had improved since we last saw him."
"Woof," said Joey.
The duellists drew their first cards.
"I summon a monster in defence mode," said Rex. "And end my turn."
Yami drew a card. "I summon the Dark Magician!" shouted Yami. "Dark Magician, attack!" The magician attacked the face down card, and the monster that was inside was destroyed.
"Come, puppy dog, there is much to do," said Kaiba.
"Why did you take me in dere den?" Joey asked crossly. "Woof," he added as an afterthought.
"I wanted your friends to know what I was doing to you," said Kaiba with a small smirk. They exited the room.
"Good luck, Yuge, woof, bark, bow wow," shouted Joey over his shoulder.
"Mutt, you can't just say something and then add a couple of dog sounds after it," said Kaiba. "You have to talk in dog speak the whole time."
"Woof," said Joey. Kaiba patted Joey on the head.
"Now, let's go and find Mokuba for the daily report," said Kaiba, and strode towards a large meeting room. Joey crawled behind him, trying to hide his face from the duellists surrounding him.
Lu: Review! I want to know what everyone thinks so far. Poor Joey.
Yami Lu: Get over it already. What about the couples?
Lu: Aww... I didn't know you cared.
Yami Lu: No. I like pointing out that I'm more organised than you.
Lu: Well, the couples are coming soon. Maybe not next chapter. I'll see. They are prewritten so they are coming very soon. No song for this chappie either. It's kinda sad that there are no songs about anything except love and heartbreak. Anyway, review!
