Magical Pet Shop

Chapter 3

The next morning, Yugi yawned as he sat up. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and then looked down to Yami who was still sleeping. Not having the heart to wake him, he got out of bed quietly and left to head downstairs. Myrrh was already up and fixing breafast for herself and him. Another two slabs of meat were left on the table for Yami and Aqua when they came down to eat. Myrrh looked to him and smiled. "Good morning Yugi. How was your night?" she asked. "It was fine." he said as he sat down at the table. Myrrh placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of him and he thanked her as he started to eat.

"So, is there anything you're planning to do today?" she asked as she made her own plate and sat down at the table. "I don't know really. Maybe I can call my friends and see if they would like to meet us at the park." Yugi said. "I have a better idea. How about you invite them over here? I wouldn't mind meeting them." Myrrh said. "Ok, that will work." he said as he continued to eat. Yami and Aqua came down later and ate their meat quickly, glad they weren't digusting Yugi in any way.

Once they were all done with breakfast, Yugi, Yami and Aqua stayed up in the room while Myrrh stayed downstairs and cleaned up a bit using her magic. Like he promised, he called his friends to see if they would like to come over and they gladly agreed, making their way over just after he called. "Yugi, are you sure your friend won't freak out with seeing us?" Yami asked, his head sitting upon Yugi's lap. He stroked his head lightly as he thought about it. "I think they will be but I'm sure they will get along with you both." Yugi said.

They heard and knock on the door and Yami lfited his head so Yugi could get up and both he and Aqua followed him downstairs to meet with his friends.

Myrrh opened the door using her magic and they all walked in, amazed to see her using magic to clean up the game part of the house. She looked to them and smiled. "Hi, you must be Yugi's friends. I'm Myrrh." she said. "Hi, I'm Ryou and these are Diamond, Kaiser, Topaz, Jou, and Malik." Ryou introduced as he pointed to each of them. "So, what are you exactly, some sort of magician?" Malik asked. "Nah, I'm a genie that came from Count D's Pet Shop." she said. "A pet shop. You don't look like a pet." Diamond said.

"I know, it's kinda odd but she is, including these two." Yugi said as he walked downstairs with Yami and Aqua trailing behind him. They gasped at seeing the two demons. "Uh, Yugi, are you sure they're safe to be around?" Jou asked. "Of course I'm sure. If I wasn't, do you really think I'd be here right now?" Yugi questioned and he rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, you do have a point there. So, when did you get them?" Topaz asked. "I got them yesterday. Count D was kind enough to let me care for them." Yugi said. "So she not bluffing, she really is a genie?" Topaz asked.

He nodded. "Ah, so that explains why the shop looks different." he cotninued. "Yeah, she insisted." Yugi said. "How about we head up to my room and you guys can get more acquainted with them." Yugi suggested and they nodded as they all headed up to his room.

Back at the pet shop, D was feeding the pets and when he came up to a door with the engraving of a dragon on it. 'Hopefully Seto and Ruby will be in the mood to eat. For some reason, they seem more secluded than usual and I never figured out why.' he thought as he opened the door. Seto and Ruby were lying in their beds, silent even to his arrival. He placed the tray down on the table and walked over to Seto's bedside. "Seto, is there something that I can do to bring you out of this?" D asked, hoping something will.

"Yes, we want someone who would take care of us, not just walk past as if we don't exist. Doesn't anyone want a dragon as a pet? It's not like we're the vicious type or anything along those lines." Seto said. "Don't worry, I will find you two someone that will take care of you and hopefully, they will let you two have the chance to try and go look for you brother." he said and Seto only nodded. "Now why don't you both try and eat while I contact a friend of mine." D said before leaving the room.

Yugi's friends were getting ready to leave and Yugi was just about to leave the room to walk his friends to the door when he heard something tapping on his window. He looked towards it and saw a raven sitting there, a piece of paper in its mouth. He walked over and opened the window and the rave handed him the slip of paper before flying off. "Hmm, I wonder who this could be from?" he said as he unfolded the letter.

Yugi,

I dearly need your help. Two of my pets, Seto and Ruby are not doing well because no one has come to adopt them. I never know why since dragons such as them are very loyal. I need to see if you can help me find someone that will wish to adopt them.

Count D

'I'm sure I can help and I think I know who would love to adopt them.' he thought as he placed the note on the table and went downstairs to meet his friends. "Thanks for coming you guys, I really appreciate it." Yugi said. "It was no problem Yugi. We're friends and we're always willing to come over." Ryou said. He nodded before looking to Jou and Kaiser. "Hey Jou, do you and Kaiser mind hanging back for a sec?" Yugi asked and they nodded. "Yeah, what do you need?" Kaiser asked.

"Well, Count D, the pet shop keeper, asked me to see if I could find soemone that's willing to adopt two of the pets there cause they feel that no one wants them because they're dragons. I was thinking about you two since you love dragons and I hoped that you may just be the two that will adpot them." Yugi explained. Jou nodded. "Sure, I think we can take care of a dragon or two. Just tell us where the pet shop is and we'll go there first thing tomorrow morning." Jou said and Yugi smiled.

"Oh thank you Jou! This will make Count D happy." he said and they nodded before they left. Aqua walked over to him and nuzzled him lightly. "That was very nice of you Yugi. Even confined in our room, we knew that Seto and Ruby had a problem with some of the people that keep walking past their door. They may be cold at first but they're really desperate for some attention and company since they lost their brother in an accident and they knew he was still alive but they never had the chance to go out and look for him." Aqua explained.

"That's explained alot. Hopefully Jou and Kaiser can handle that." Yugi said before he and aqua went up to their room, bidding Zella goodnight when they walked past her room.
