Title: Lucky the Puppy
Author: Glue Project
Pairings: SetoJou
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: I only own Lucky and Bewd. Nothing else. And that's -ish, if anything.
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?
In retrospect, I didn't really need to post that short excuse for a chapter, but it was easier that way to explain Mokuba's reaction and the beginning of this chapter. Should be fun.
Well, we're back to Lucky's POV. Enjoy.

I glare down at the ceramic dish set before me and its foul contents held within.
I look over to Bewd. He doesn't look happy either.
I nuzzle the bowl closer to Master for an explanation.
He looks down and gives a grimace of apology. "Sorry. I don't think it's a good thing if you continue to eat as I do."
I give a snort. "You shouldn't either." For a second I think that he heard me, but instead he pats me on the head in a consoling manner.
From somewhere else in the house, we can hear a doorbell ring. Master nods and gets up from his crouching position and starts to stride away.
After he has disappeared, I turn to Bewd. "Want to follow him?"
Bewd steps over his bowl, purposefully tipping it over with a well-placed back paw. "It's better than eating this sordid excuse for decent food."
We follow the path Master just took, and as we grow nearer, I smell something.
"What do you suppose that is?" Bewd asks.
I grin, starting to increase my pace. "Pizza," I say, though I have no true idea from where it came from.
We finally reach the door, only to find Master and Younger-Brother are conversion with…er…the mighty Bringer-of-Food?
"How is everyone?" Younger-Brother practically chirps.
Bringer-Of-Food looks at Master warily, as if waiting for the taller to strike. Bringer-Of-Food's eyes flicker to Younger-Brother for a brief second. "Alright, I guess." His voice is reluctant, almost guilty sounding, as if he's withholding some important piece of information.
Master frowns. "Spit it out," he practically snarls.
Bringer-Of-Food jumps, clearly startled and looks ready to bolt. He shifts slightly. "Have you by any chance seen Jou lately?" His voice borders on hopeful and fearful, all at the same time. Odd.
I can see the slight tense in Master's shoulders and smell the light taste of fear/worry. Maybe this is the one from those pictures?
Heh. I think I've found what I can get Master for his birthday present…
"Why should I have seen your Mutt lately? Puppy slipped his leash and been sent to the pound?" He's sneering. Thus this 'Jou' person is the picture-person.
Amusing.
Bringer-Of-Food runs his hands through his hair-Is the reason it sticks up like that a result of this behavior?-before dropping his arms to his sides. "It's just that he's gone missing again…" He sighs. "Not that it hasn't happened before…" He seems to be talking to either Mokuba or himself now, when he says, "It's just that he usually gets some word out of where he his…"
And thus Bringer-Of-Food zones out for the next few minutes, after which Master pushes him out the door with a rather large bill clutched in his hand, still not seeing it.
I hide Bewd-no one has seen us yet, too wrapped up in the conversation-before Master and Younger-Brother see us.
Bewd looks sad--maybe he saw through Master's ruse too?
I gently nudge him with my shoulder. He looks at me and I give a sudden grin as inspiration strikes. "What do you say…to us killing two birds with one stone?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I grin, sneaking around the corner and see no one. This is going to be perfect.
Master had setboth pizza boxes on the dining room table as the two of them go off to wash their hands.
Having hands would be so helpful right now.
I glance behind me in time to see Bewd duck off down a corridor to create a distraction if need be.
I quickly scramble onto the chair and then from there to the table, my paws sliding everywhere over the slick surface. Grabbing the corner of the closest box with my mouth, I carefully backtrack back to the chair.
However, going backwards and then trying to set rear-paws back onto the squishy seat doesn't really work all that well.
"Be'wooed!"
He scrambles back in and quickly jumps up to the chair.
By bracing his front paws on the table, he then pushes up with his head, and I follow in like after regaining my balance.
It's then that we can hear the both of them coming back.
"On three, jump, okay?"
I give a quick 'yes' before jumping when he says to. Somehow, we land side-by-side and scramble out of there with the box perched on our backs.
I can hear Younger-Brother as he says, "But I thought we ordered two pizza's…"
I give a yip of glory when I hear that one word that comes out of Master's mouth next.
"LUCKY!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was fun. (grins) Next chapter shall feature Lucky and a sharpie. Joys.
This chapter was almost normal length for me. And considering that I both wrote this in first POV and in one sitting, that's an accomplishment. And now it's midnight. Happy December…(yawn)…
REVIEW REPLIES
CrossHunt-s: (gasps) You liked the last chapter? Even though it was so short? ;3 And here's the update. Rather very fast for me.
Jen-chan: It's more of a reason for Bewd to be as he is now. ;3
Misura: (points up to chapter) I hope that explains why there isn't very much of 'Jou' yet. Though plenty of 'Lucky'... I can't really say more than that or I risk giving the whole story away.
Silver Wing tamer: Nope, Honda is the pizza guy, but I couldn't have Lucky say it. And your guess for Bewd is right... (gets thwomped on head by Luck' and Blue: OY!)
Kumori Sakusha formerly Saelbu: And I updated again. I hope that this longer chapter was just as cute. ;3
anaraz: I'm sorry that the last was so short. Does this make up for it? The last chapter was important for advancing the story onward a bit though. And I really don't want to lump POV's together. Not in this one at least.
Nachzes-Black Rider: (mock gasps) Why, I don't know! And what's really funny is that I got your review in through email while I was finishing typing replies. (grins.) Bet you didn't expect it to be up that fast, ne?
Until next time?
