AN: Not Zora and Zippora are the same person... I use the name and nickname interchangeably... Also Review and tell me what you think. You can also tell me what you want to see for certain letters. I'll take it into consideration. Also also... I don't own the Yugioh franchise, just my oc, and the letters are out of order for a reason. K thanks! ~Akemi~

AN: Edit... I realize I didn't finish a sentence and just reworded a few things... This is what I get for writing and not proof reading haha. I'll try to have another one up tonight or tomorrow. Ciao!

R is for Rage

Zippora loathed when Seto was anywhere near Joey Wheeler. Not because she disliked the spunky blond. In fact, she rather enjoyed his company when Seto wasn't around. She did not however, appreciate the things the young CEO would say in retaliation to Joey's accusations.

The young woman knew Seto Kaiba was not an openly caring person. Not by a long shot, but she had considered herself and Mokuba to be the only two exceptions to his hostile ways. So when Zippora would hear the man she harbored feelings for say he didn't need anyone, a part of her would shatter.

It was after Seto lost to Yugi Mouto in the Battle City Tournament that such a thing was said. This time however, would be different. For after Joey had gone after Seto and reprimanded Mokuba for trying to defend his brother, he seemed to feel the need to go have a go at her.

"And what about you Zora? Are you gonna keep sitting back and pretend nothing has been said while Kaiba uses you for an easy lay? Or are you gonna learn to appreciate yourself and leave him?"

Chocolate brown eyes widened at his statement, as a sudden boiling rage filled the normally easy-going woman. She could see the anger on Seto's face, and knew he was about to tear into Joey. Only, her words had beat him to the punch.

"How dare you say such a thing to me!" The young woman started, venom dripping from her every word. "You think that just because you're somewhat of a hotshot in the dueling community you can make such audacious accusation of someone? And in public no less! You don't know what happens behind closed doors Wheeler, so you can take your opinions and shove them where the sun doesn't shine! And Seto wipe that smirk off your face, because I'll have an earful for you later."

Zora had stormed off after she had finished her mantra, leaving everyone behind her shocked. That is everyone, but Seto Kaiba.

Sure what Zippora had said wasn't nearly as mean or hurtful as he knew she intended it to be. A part of him even thought it was humorous to see her act in such a way. Though he would never say such a thing to her.

No, Seto would let her think her rage was a force to be reckoned with for now. He would even let her take out her frustrations on him when next they were alone. For he knew when all was said and done she would still be there for him, even after all he'd said.
