Lyn jumped about three feet in the air at Juhux's furious cry, "What in the name of pancakes and ducks is going on over there?!"
The younger girl didn't answer right away, she instead busied herself witht the task of removeing the mud from her face and mouth. It was only after she had stood up and inspected her face with a compact mirro that sh answered. "Daddy left, and Juhux is angry at him for leaveing obviously."
There was a barely noticable twitch in Lyn's brow at that (apparently) less then satisfactory answer, but then again, with Reeney, there were no straight answers. So takeing a deep breath, she calmed herself down, convinceing herself that throttleing Reeney wouldn't do her any good.
"Rea," she started,"what are you talking about?"
'Rea' only rolled her eyes and turned her back on the confused brunette. Lyn was about to start screaming at her but then though better of it, so instead she followed her younger friend to the source of the screaming. Which just so happened ot be the front lawn.
--(FRONTYARD)--
Juhux was about read to kill someone, she was letting off an aura of intense hatred and malice so strong that even the birds sverved to avoid her. Small traces of green barely visible flames were swirling in the shadows around her feet (1). A phonmenon that only occured when she was extremely pissed off, and yes folks she was extremely pissed off. And thats how Reeney and Lyn found her standing in the middle of the road surrounded by green flames that strangely no one else noticed, so Reeney being who she is did the only hing she could think to do. She through a water balloon at her.
"Snap out of it uncle, you're burnin the pavement!"
"REENEY!!" Lyn yelled.
"WHAT?!"
Lyn growled, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT, YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND THROWING WATER BALLOONS AT PEOPLE WILLY NILLY!!"
Reeney furrowed her brow in cunfusion, "Who the HELL is Willy Nilly?!"
The older teen groaned smacking her uspide the head, "Its a saying stupid!!"
They continued fighting like this even after they had realised that Juhux had passed out and was now lieing face down in the middle of a bussy street. Luckily enough for the prone young thief, they did move her out of said street and into the house...eventually that is.
--(Much later)--
The first thing Juhux noticed was that she was in a soft warm bed, the second thing she noticed was how quiet it was. At first the young thought nothing of it but then she realized something very crucial about the people she was normally around. They were NEVER quiet. So therefore, she couldn't possibly be in the same place she was when she...wait a moment, when did she fall asleep? Oh nevermind that, it wasn't important, what was important was that she was in a completely unfamiliar enviorment, and god only knows where Ryou, Lyn, and Reeney were.
REENEY!! Shit, Bakura said she was suppossed to be protecting her but here she was doing just the opposite. It took all of her control not to just shoot up and search for her young charge like an untrained madman, and in fact, six years ago (before she started training with Bakura), that was probably the first thing she would've done. But luckily enough for her, she now knew what she was doing. So, the blonde calmed herself down and used all the senses she had at he disposal to try and figure out wher she was.
She smelled the fabrics underneath her, they smelled clean and freash, and vaugley like flowers, but there was an undertone of a slightly more masculine scent there. It was strange, but vaugley familiar, husky and somehow formal, like expspensive cologne. It smelled like, like, geez what did it smell like and why was it so familiar?! Come to think of it, it smelled a bit like Lyn, but that couldn't possibly be right.
"Is she awake yet?'
Juhux nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of that low baritone (couldn't think of another way to describe his voice). A low baritone that she had heard many times before, most of the time it was yelling at her though. And just like that, Juhux knew where she was, she was in none other then Seto Kaiba's mansion.
"I don't think so." came Lyn's soft voice. When did Lyn come in here? Damn, your senses really did dull when you werer asleep.
Seto sighed and padded across the floor, his footprints muffled somehow. But then again, if this was realy his room like she susspected. Then she knew from experience (she pranked him constantly o had been in his room before) that his carpet was soft and padded enough to dim even an elephants footsteps.
"I hate to admit it," he grumbled, "but the two of them look almost innocent when they're asleep like that."
Two?! Two who?! Of course she was there, but who was this other person or thing that the blasted CEO was talking about?!
"Well maybe being next to Juhux calmed Rea down a little," Lyn chuckled evily,"usually she takes up the entire bed when she sleeps."
Oh, so it was Reeney, well that would explain why it was so quiet in here.
'Well, about time to get up I guess.'
There was a polite knock on the door before it creaked open "Yo, is the retard up yet?"
And just like that Juhux's eyes shot open and she turned to stare in shocked amazement at the creature (person) standing in the doorway.
"YOU!!" she yelled.
Said person just smirked, "Juhux close your mouth or the flys will get in."
"Udu, what are you doing here!" she cried running up to pull the older girl into a hug.
The long haired brunette chuckled merrily, "Well Suk and I got a little time off of work and when the Kaiba brat called we figured we'd come over and make sure you wren't dead."
Juhux blinked, "Onee-san is here to?"
Udud nodded, "Though of course she's off herassing some of the servents here at the moment." she turned to Kaiba who was looking at the older woman with a blank stare. "Oh and Kaiba, don't be to surprised if some of your workers decide to quit later."
The brown haired CEO growled in the back of his throat but nodded none the less, "I'll keep that in mind."
Lyn who was hanging off the males arm like a coat decided then and there to let out a mighty fangirl squeel. Not that Kaiba minded, in fact he smirked slightly at the action.
Udu rolled her eyes, "Well whatever, Juhux can you come help me make sure that your sister doesn't kill anyone?" she asked lightly, "We don't want another incident like the time at that anime convention."
Juhux shuddered but nodded, and sending one last glance at the sleeping Reeney, she left the room.
( END CHAPTER )
Okay, suk is of course Juhux's older sister, and Udu is Suk's girlfriend. Juhux lives with the two of them since Suk and Juhux's parnets died some many years ago. Suk and Udu write a popular manga series and are therefore pretty darned famous. Udu is tall, has lond brown hair, narrow brown eyes, is busty as hell, and has a fairly condescending attiuse, but she loves her girlfriend and the two of them are thinking about getting married. Suk is a cute girl with short blonde hair and wide brown eyes. She isn't nearly as busty as her sexy girlfriebnd, but she makes up fot that with how cute she is. also, Suk wears cat ears, all the time. for more info go to the site that will probably be erased as soon as I post this, www . deviant art . com no spaces of course, now if the name of the site gets erase ask me for the info later, type in Suk and Udu once you get there, of do a search for chronosguardian or Nekousagi the former belongs to Udu, and the later belongs to Suk. Sorry this chapter is a little obscure, bu like I said, i'm not exactly up to par lately because of the pain from my recent piercing. Hopefully the next chapter will better suit your tastes.
