Right. So we tried working on TGZ: Chicago. Got about a quarter of the way in, just after the Mountie showed up and the plunnies started going 'ooo.... what's that over there?' and wandered off...

-Over to YGO: Guard Dog. >_O The last time we had posted, we had the Pr0n scene and the Interview scene to do.
It mutated.
Now we have the Pr0n scene, the Interview scene, the Pet scene, the Solid scene, the Monochrome scene, the Stocks scene, the Elevator scene, the Aftermath scene, the Dung-Beetle scene, the Tail scene, the Party scene, the Mai scene, and the Moonwatching scene.
-Thirteen scenes, not including these two or any we've forgotten.
*sighs*
... Dammit. Sorry, DC/MK fans. It's just not biting.

However, if you want your usual dose of comedic death and dismemberment, check out Bunny Suicides. Those bunnies really don't wanna live. ^___________^

"-cause he's sleeping with Kaiba."

Jounouchi's ears twitched slightly under the ear piece that held them down. The rest of the security guards had slightly amused looks on their faces as they watched the new guy who was obviously flapping his mouth off without his brain being attached. It was a common occurrence when they got a new person, someone got the wrong idea and thought that watching over Mokuba was a cake job.

Usually either the old timers dissuaded the new guys of that with horror stories, usually involving something about sharks, or Jounouchi would eventually spar with the newbie and wipe the floor with them. So he didn't worry about it too much. Either way, it wouldn't last long.

"-What?!" Unfortunately, it looked like the new guy was flapping his mouth off a little bit TOO loudly as Mokuba, whom Jounouchi was escorting, heard it as well. So did Noa.

"Nothing." Jounouchi said quickly, attempting to grab Mokuba as the youngest Kaiba evaded his grasp and marched towards the new guy, Noa ghosting after him. The rest of the security guards looked pale and a few started to shuffle off. "Mokuba..."

Mokuba ignored him, standing behind the new guy. "What was that?" He demanded, his voice bright and friendly.

"I said that the only reason why that blond guy got a job here is cause he's sleeping... with... Kaiba...." You could -hear- the moment the guy figured out he'd just said something -really- stupid in front of the -wrong- people. Jounouchi covered his face in a hand.

Mokuba -smiled-. Noa looked smug. Oooh... shit.

"Then I'm sure you won't mind taking his place tomorrow." Mokuba said sweetly, Noa mirroring his angelic expression, devilment sparkling in both of their eyes. Jounouchi waved his hands try to warn the guy off, but it was too late. He froze as Mokuba turned his calculating gaze towards him. "You can have a day off, Jounouchi."

"Oooh..." Jounouchi whinged. "I don't wanna watch Kaiba again." Watching Kaiba was boring.

"Not watching my brother." Mokuba smiled angelically, patting his arm. "A -real- day off. When was the last time you had one of those?"

"Not watching you or not watching your brother?" He scratched the back of his head, trying to think. When had he started this job? "Um..."

"Too long." Noa said sympathetically.

"Yup." Mokuba grinned, turning back to the new guy. "I'll see you tomorrow at seven am. Don't be late."

Mokuba walked off, head held high. Jounouchi gave the new guy, soon to be dead guy, a wan smile. "Good luck. And what ever you do-"

"JOUNOUCHI!" Mokuba shouted. Jounouchi winced and ran off, giving them a quick wave. Some of the old timers gathered around the pale sweating nervous man and Jounouchi was pretty sure he heard the word 'shark' uttered.

"What am I supposed to do?" Jounouchi muttered as he caught up to Mokuba. "Day off my as... uh."

"Take Yuugi out somewhere." Mokuba shrugged. "I'm sure he hasn't had a day out of the Kame Game Shop in a while."

"Maybe go out of town? Or the Beach?" Noa suggested helpfully before disappearing at the doorway.

Jounouchi muttered darkly, sulking slightly as they walked to the limo. He -liked- his job. He got to play arcade games, duel and have the occasional fight. It was a good life. What was he supposed to do with a day off?!

He paused, looking sideways at Mokuba as they climbed into the car. "Mokuba?"

"Hmm?" Mokuba looked up at him as Noa re-appeared sitting next to Mokbua. They blinked in unison, identical confused expressions on their faces.

Jounouchi sighed, shutting the door behind them. "Don't... Just don't kill him, okay?" After all, Jounouchi would probably have to work with the bozo in the future.

Mokuba smiled at him, patting his arm again. "Relax. I won't do anything permanent." Noa nodded in agreement.

Jounouchi gave a weak smile in return. That was probably the best he could ask for.

Yuugi grinned, relaxing into the movie theatre's chair. It was a rare treat to be able to spend the whole day with Jounouchi. When the confused blond had first told him that he had the day off, neither of them had an idea of what to do. They'd thought about going out of town, then decided against it because there was no where within a day's trip they wanted to go. And just in case something did go wrong, Jounouchi wanted to stick close to town.

A 'day off' kind of meant 'no duelling', so they'd been at wits end until 'Jiichan suggested that they do what 'normal' people do. Go to the movies, visit a museum, watch a sports game. They'd looked at the old man like he was crazy, then pulled out the newspaper and starting going through activities available for a weekday.

They'd settled on a murder mystery movie that promised to have lots of explosions. And unlike High School when they'd both been broke, they had enough money to splurge a bit and get some snack foods, more like a lunch really, to eat.

Jounouchi grinned back, looking pleased with himself and life in general.

-at least until his mobile phone started to vibrate. Jounouchi glanced at the device clipped on his belt. Yuugi glanced at the device clipped on Jounouchi's belt. They both got up and exited the theatre, taking their snacks with them.

"Time?" Yuugi whispered taking Jounouchi's food so he had a free hand as they stood in the small alcove in front of the door to the movie theatre. Phones really weren't allowed inside the theatre, but Jounouchi had Kaiba Corp Security identification and that could smooth out most problems, at least while inside Domino City.

"Almost one." Jounouchi whispered back, checking his phone. Towards the end of the lunch period then. Yuugi was almost surprised that they hadn't gotten a phone call sooner. "Just a second, I got a text message..."

"And?" Yuugi stood on the tips of his toes, trying to read over Jounouchi's arm.

"It's the Head of Security." Jounouchi made a face. "Mokuba's missing from school."

"So..." Yuugi mused. "He's back up to his old tricks?" Jounouchi and Mokuba had... an understanding. Several understandings, actually. From what Yuugi understood, in exchange for a greater freedom while not at school, Mokuba didn't ditch school without notifying Jounouchi first. Yuugi had heard of a few times when Mokuba had gotten Jounouchi to agree to ditch with him, but that was rare.

And since Jounouchi wasn't responsible for Mokuba today, that left Mokuba free to do what he pleased.

"Yup." Jounouchi nodded, pulling a face. He tapped the communicator that hung from the dog collar he wore. "Mokuba?"

They waited a moment. "Yo, Jounouchi!" Mokuba's cheerful voice greeted them. "What's up?"

"Just got a text from security. Everything okay?" Jounouchi questioned.

Silent question: Have you been kidnapped and require back up?

"Every thing's good." Mokuba happily assured him.

"'Kay." Jounouchi sighed. "I'm gonna let security know you haven't been kidnapped, then go watch the movie with Yuugi. I know I'm being paranoid, but do you mind if I check in with you afterwards?"

"Nah, that's fine." Yuugi could hear an affectionate long-suffinering grin in Mokuba's voice. Despite whatever else, Mokuba looked at Jounouchi like he was an almost-brother. And he knew that Jounouchi did worry about Mokuba as if the youngest Kaiba was his own sibling. "You and Yuugi go have fun, I'll talk to you later."

"See ya." Jounouchi clicked off the communicator with a small grin of his own. "Crazy brat."

"Call Security." Yuugi reminded Jounouchi, casting an eye at the ushers, who were starting to notice them. Jounouchi nodded, flipping open the phone and hitting a button.

"Hey. It's me. Just got in contact with Mokuba, he's fine." Jounouchi winced, covering the phone's speaker as the head of Kaiba Corp security started shouting. Yuugi smiled sympathetically as they waited for a pause for breath. "No, I don't know where he is, it's not my job today. I'll be checking in with him in a few hours. If something's wrong, I'll give you a call. Bye."

Jounouchi snapped the phone shut with a bit more force then necessary, turning off the phone with a jerk as he stuck it back in his belt. "You'd think they'd be able to keep track of a teenager." He grumbled. "They were doing it long before I got the job."

"... Isn't their -not- being able to keep track of him the reason you got the job?" Yuugi questioned.

"Oh. Yeah." Jounouchi grinned slightly, looking embarrassed. "Shall we go?" He asked brightly, taking his snacks back.

"I think the trailers are starting." Yuugi nodded, trailing after his larger friend. If anything went wrong, Noa would contact Jounouchi and they'd go to the rescue. In the mean time, they had a movie to watch of someone else saving the world. Or at the very least, watch someone else save the people they knew from certain doom.

It was always great fun watching someone else do it for a change.

On the plus side, we did get to slip in a reference to the new DC movie. ^^;;

Un-grammer checked, so grammer bitches, feel free to crack your whips. ^___^

**snerk** Betcha he's visiting Noa in 'his' version of the world... and as for grammer, the only thing I caught is that it should be 'wan' smile, not 'wane' smile (it popped up twice); 'wane' is to decrease, like the moon wanes. 'Wan' is to be sort of half-assed and weak.

...and of course, you DO realize that I'm dancing around the room because you're writing more YGO crack, right? Not that I don't love TGZ (the Tucson thing's about half-written right now, and you have to promise not to hurt me for it).

Actually, Mokuba hasn't -left- the campus. He's still there.
... somewhere... >_O

Fixed the 'wane' / 'wan' thing! Thanks!

*sighs* That reminds me.... I need to find a reason for -Jounouchi- to chase -Seto- around the office for a change. That was one of the other scenes I forgot. *headdesk*

Keh. Let me count the ways...! Seto has something of Jounouchi's that he let him see and wont give back, OOOOoooohhhhhhh! Scratch that! Mai sent him a dirty picture of Jounouchi via snail mail and he came in, wanted to see what it was, Seto wouldn't let him, chase ensues. Of course, the Dirty Picture was either altered or taken any of the multiple times she had chances to while he was sleeping. ^____________^ Oh, the images.

Of course, everything for me mutates and now Yugi's come in for some reason, triped Seto, taken the picture, blushed at the picture, and taken off running. ^_^

Did I help?

cute! i must say, i am a die-hard tgz fan, but guard dog has certainly become a favorite. and any update from you is always a good thing in my book. ^_~

enjoyed it overall, but may i make one minor suggestion? in this bit:

In the mean time, they had a movie to watch of someone else saving the world. Or at the very least, watch someone else save the people they knew from certain doom.

It was always great fun watching someone else do it for a change.

all the 'someone else's feel redundant. i think it would flow better and better carry your point if you leave the first two simply at 'someone' and leave the last as 'someone else'. the way it is, you make the point of it being their day off and therefore not them saving the world, etc, before the reader even gets to that last sentence, so the parting shot sort of loses it's potency.

anyhow, just my take on it. and don't kill the plunnies- i'm sure they stress you, but ultimately they're a good thing. ^_______^

Gneee... good point. Need to fix that scene up, it was the best ending out of about four attempts, but it still didn't feel quite right.

*chuckles* don't worry, as often as I threaten to kill the plunnies they keep coming back. ^^;;

Glad you're liking Guard Dog! ^___^
