Yugi squealed at the sight of the dog Yami had brought home. The large German Shepherd looked up at Yugi with intelligent brown eyes and seemed to grin with his long tongue hanging out of one side of his mouth. Yugi knelt down and the dog at once bounded over into Yugi's arms.
"Welcome home… Julian" he read off the dog tag on a black leather collar.
Julian panted and the doggish smile stayed and widened. He had black fur over his back and down his tail, with dark ears and snout, his wet black nose nuzzled under Yugi's chin and he gave a few happy licks to his cheek. Yugi giggled and petted his ears warmly.
Yami chuckled and looked at the lead that the dog had managed to pull out of his hands. "Meet the mutt that saved my ass" he said, kneeling down to scratch his ears "Giving him a home was the least I could do"
"We could do" Yugi corrected.
They had been talking about getting a pet so that Yugi wouldn't be so lonely, and the police station had just gotten in some new dogs, meaning some of the older ones could retire. Yami and Yugi at once jumped at the chance to adopt Julian, the dog that had saved Yami so long ago.
Yami held up his gun and aimed, but he knew that it was too risky to fire. The robber had the girl in front of him and the gun pressed to her chin. She was sobbing and her large blue eyes begged Yami to save her.
"Put down your gun!" the robber shouted, he wore a cliché ski-mask and the gun was a semi automatic, the sort that was sadly easy to get and standard to have in a robbery.
Yami glared "Let the girl go, we'll talk, I'll get you what you want" he said. He knew that what he was saying wasn't entirely true, but he was desperate to get that girl out of there.
His radio buzzed 'Yami! What are you saying? Shoot him!'
The robber laughed "Don't treat me like a fool, I know that this bitch is the only thing stopping you from open firing" he jabbed her and she whimpered through the gag, her brown hair messy and her breathing hyper.
Yami glared, before lowering his gun. The robber smirked "I thought so. Now, come over here, and take this bitch's place"
Yami slowly set his gun down and walked over to the girl, he patted her arm "You'll be alright" he told her as the gun was put under his chin. The girl nodded and ran for the exit. Yami was now the hostage, and he was a bigger hostage too, no policeman would be willing to shoot at one of their own.
Outside the policemen held their breaths together. Some police dogs growled, Julian began to bite through his leash.
Yami was forced to put tape over his eyes and to sit down with the man jabbing the gun into his ribs. "I want you to speak into your radio and tell them; that I want one million cash, unprinted, untracked and in an hour. Then I want them to hand in over in see through plastic bags and I want them dropped off of at the front door"
Yami reached for his radio but then just dropped it "Oops" he said sarcastically.
The man growled and as he reached down the gun shifted, and Yami took his chance. His knees met the man's face and he tore the tape off his face. He made a mad dash for it.
BANG!
"Ah!" Yami fell to the floor, a mere five meters from safety. He gasped and felt the blood seep into his shirt. The back of his ribs.
The robber kicked Yami over onto his back, onto the wound, and pointed the gun at him. "Bastard" he growled and aimed at Yami's face. Yami didn't close his eyes, he glared right into the face of the man, but all he could think of was… Yugi.
Suddenly there was a loud snarling-yapping-barking howl. Yami only blinked, and that man was gone.
All he saw was a blur of brown and black and then the robber was screaming. Yami sat up despite the pain and saw Julian bearing down on the robber, his teeth were in the man's arm and the gun had been knocked well out of reach. The man was screaming and screaming.
Julian had the man's throat in his jaws and with a few violent shakes the man was still. Julian hadn't killed him, but his teeth had cut and his jaw strength had cut off blood to the man's brain, leaving him weakened and unconscious.
Julian looked at Yami and whimpered, running over and licking his face and nuzzling his shoulder. Yami scratched his ears before falling back with a groan, the bullet hurt, "Thanks…" he grasped the collar and saw the silver tag "Julian…" he whispered before falling back unconscious.
When Yami had woken up, Yugi was at his bedside with tears running down his face. Yami and he had a tearful reunion, with Yugi both praising and scolding him the entire time. Duke, the chief came in and told Yami that he was lucky to have survived.
"If that rascal of a dog hadn't chewed through his new lead and tackled that guy you'd be double dead, it's the dragging you out and getting you to the hospital that really saved you" he explained.
Yami smiled "Good boy he is, if there's something that I can do for him, let me know"
Duke snorted "Well his disobedience put him forward on the 'dogs retirement list', so if you lovebirds ever wanted an overgrown puppy/watchdog…" he trailed off before putting his hat on and smiling. "Rest up Yami, see you Yugi"
"Goodbye" Yugi smiled before smiling at Yami and saying "Please don't scare me like that again"
Yami chuckled and kissed Yugi's lips "I don't plan on it, aibou" he said as Yugi stood up.
Yugi flashed him a dazzling smile and a cheeky wink before heading for the door "I'll smuggle in a coffee for you when I've had lunch"
Yami hummed in pleasure "Best news I've heard all day, but you know that's illegal, I may just have to arrest you" he said lowly, a glint in his eyes.
Yugi rolled his eyes "Good luck catching me if you try" he laughed and left.
Yugi let Julian lick his face one more time before standing up and letting him go to the back and see his new kennel and toys. Yugi smiled at the delighted dog "Welcome home" Yami pulled Yugi into his side and kissed his lips.
"I think we could get used to having him around" he agreed with a nod.
Julian looked up with a blue rubber bone in his mouth and ran up to his new owners; he sat at their feet and looked up with happy whimpers of delight. He's never been a part of a family before. Yugi and Yami scratched an ear each and exchanged a kiss with each other.
I'm on a roll! I think I'll just put up all the ones I have already done; so be prepared for lots of fast updates then a sudden lag, depending on whether the urge hits me or not. But once again we have Yami as the sexy detecitve, Julian is a small dedication to the first book I read independantly as a child; The Famous Five, on treasure island. But I think that it's a good name :)
