Title: Lucky the Puppy
Author: Glue Project
Pairings: SetoJou
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: I only own Lucky. Nothing else.
Summery: After visiting an animal shelter, Seto takes in a little young puppy. A blond one at that. How is he going to explain it to everyone else who knows of his 'loathing' of another certain human blonde?

I'm going to try to write this in Seto's first-person POV. If (when) it doesn't work out, I'll just switch to third POV. Easy enough. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to switch soon though. At least one chapter or a part of it, will be in Lucky's POV. And I know where I'm going to go with this now! I just hope that I don't ahve to go up in rating. (sweatdrop)

I also have an idea as to where I'm taking this now. Fun.

I got 16 reviews for this! That's the most ever for a first chapter for me I think. (dances) Review replies are at the bottom. XD

CHAPTER TWO

I didn't tell Mokuba about Lucky last night. I'm somewhat afraid of what he might say.

'Hypocrite! That looks exactly like Jou and you know it!'

Okay, I may be jumping to conclusions, but it's a rather good guess of what he might say.

After all, as far as he knows, I hate the blond mutt.

However, only Lucky and I know that I could have a soft spot for someone other than Mokuba.

Lucky has already found my stash of hard-found-and-earned pictures of one Jounouchi Katsuya.

There's three in total. One is the Battle City entry close up, another is one of him in that green jacket of his, and the last is of him in his school uniform.

The last I like the most due to the fact that he has a surprised expression on his face and a piece of toast hanging haphazardly out of his mouth.

A very candid photo.

Mokuba still has no idea where that picture went.

Okay, so maybe I'm just a shade obsessed--I've only taken two of the pictures that Mokuba has snapped whilst in the company of 'Yuugi and co.', as he puts it. Could have easily taken more, but didn't! Really! --But he'll never find out about it.

That is, unless this real puppy intrudes upon my plans of keeping this little obsession a secret.

If I didn't know any better, I would say that he fairly snickered when I hopped after him this morning. He laughed even harder when I tripped over my slippers he had so strategically rearranged.

Honestly, that pup's almost smarter than he should be.

Being careful as to how I carry the backpack which Lucky is currently hidden in, I start the walk up to my office at KaibaCorp.

This should be interesting.

I now have two things to keep a secret.

Lucky and the Mutt.

Funny how the lines cross.

---LTP---

I have strictly instructed Lucky that he is not to leave the confines of this room.

This mean, of course, that he is currently hopping around the KaibaCorp premises.

My secretary oh-so-graciously informed three minutes ago that security has aprihended a boucing, hyper little puppy.

I've known that he's been missing since noon.

It's five now.

Standing up and stretching, I snag up the bookbag from this morning as I exit the room.

---LTP---

Somehow, I have a feeling that I shouldn't be surprised that Lucky has managed to tie up security. With a leash.

How'd he get that?

Nevermind.

"Lucky."

The pup just looks at me, looks sheepish for a second, and then untie them. He then walks over to me, and jumps into the backpack when I hold it out.

Glancing I them, I calmly say, "This never happened," and walk out the door.

Review Replies (in order they appear)

--ANARAZ : Thanks. I'm trying to keep it cute.
--KILLIAN : I thought so too. And, appearently, so did Seto.
--KUMORI SAKUSHA FORMERLY SAELBU : Ner. Took me sooo long to update. I'm not sure if I like the ending to this chapter though.
--CAPTAININUYASHA777 : (hides number sythe) Why hide in fear? (manical laughter)
--JEN-CHAN : Seto's explination might come next chapter. And Mokuba will have to have one as well...(grins)
--ELUSIA : Heh. I think it'll be more along the lines of Lucky taking care of Seto...
--SILVER WING TAMER : Yeah. Who wouldn't want to adopt a little puppy, expecially with him having a slight...obsession...with another blond 'puppy'. (grins)
--DEMENTED MARIK : I'm going. :3 -Lucky
--MISURA : Yeah...Mokuba likes pets as well...
--KAIRA HESOKA : Heh. Lucky's luck is rubbing off, ne?
--ICY FLAME : Lucky's smart for a reason...And thanks for the comment about my works being interesting. I try to be unique. (dances) I wanna do a cliche series though. Just for giggles. (glomps back and grins)
--PEPPERFANG : I'm going to have to read yours sometime. And I have a feelingthat mine will (hopefully) some from a different angle that no one else has tried yet. (grins)
--LIL NEZUMI : Thanks! I'm always so nervous about first person POV's because I don't think that I can worm enough description in it. That, and the story so far doesn't have a very deep thought process to it. I guess I'll just blame it on 'he doesn't spent time thinking very hard if he's the only one to hear.' Yeah...sounds about right...
--SHUICHI-404 : I think Seto would be a dog kind of person. Just 'cause of how he torments Jou with dog comments...
--HIKARI MALIK : I didn't realize how short this chapter was until you meantioned it. I usually write around a thousand words for a chapter. (sweatdrop)
--KALU-CHAN78 : Thanks! (grins)

Well...until next time, ne?
