******************************************************
Katsuya picked at the collar of his tuxedo for probably the millionth time that night. The damn thing was *far* too tight and *way* too uncomfortable! Why Seto demanded that he wear it was beyond him! He would have been perfectly comfortable in a pair of jeans and his blue jacket. But Seto insisted that he wear the stupid thing. With white gloves even! He wouldn't even let him take them off!
`Too bad for Seto! These things itch!!' He thought to himself in annoyance as he quickly took them off and pocketed them before walking around again.
`Somebody up there hates me.' He thought to himself miserably, as he walked around with a tray full of champagne glasses, passing them out to anyone who asked. He couldn't hold it with one hand up in the air like the people did on TV because he almost dropped it the last time he tried that, so he had to use both hands.
An older looking woman in a red dress, that she looked far to old for, walked up to him and took one of the glasses off of the tray before sticking her nose up at him and walking away with it.
"Bitch." He mumbled so she wouldn't hear. So far well over half the people in the vast room that held party had given him some sort of snobby look or sneer, and he hated them all for it!
The doorbell rang *again* signalling that he had to go and answer it. Take their coats, get sneered at, then go back to serving dinks. It wasn't too bad. St least not *all* the time. One guy gave him a ten dollar tip when he took his coat, so maybe this one would too.
Grinning at the thought of more money, even though he knew the chances of getting any were slim, Katsuya put down the tray on a nearby table that had the ice sculpture of a blue eyes white dragon on it and ran over to get the door.
*************************************************
Seto watched his blonde puppy work from a relatively safe distance, smirking slightly in amusement as he ran passed some of the guests to simply answer the door. Some of the people whom he ran passed made little sneers at him and would shake their heads at his lack of manners.
Even though they weren't looking at him, he sneered at them. Exactly what the fuck was their problem?!? He was only doing his job and they turned their noses up at him at every chance they would get!
`Bastards.' He inwardly cursed at them. Every single one of them. Even he didn't do that to the hired help. Of course he did it to Jou's friends and anyone who would piss him off, but that was all! In his opinion, Katsuya's friends deserved it for being so stupid anyway, whereas these people were just being stuck up. And if they weren't the wives of his business associates and partners then he would have thrown them all out for daring to look at his puppy like that!
Unfortunately for the puppy, he actually *had* woken up with a hard on that morning, so he decided to give him some extra things to do for the party. He wasn't supposed to walk around with trays and hand out food and the wine glasses, just answer the door and then maybe join him later. But he was too pissed off to allow it now. In his opinion the puppy deserved this anyway for wanting to sleep in his bed with him.
`I wonder what his nightmare was about.' He thought to himself, finding it slightly strange that they both had nightmares on the same night. That and he also had to wonder why the puppy would come to him with the problem. It's not like the blonde liked him... or... perhaps... `Stop thinking like an idiot! You have useless chatter to listen to!' He scolded himself as he went back to listening to what the men in front of him had to say about the monthly profits. He only sighed in boredom while still taking glances at his puppy.
During one of his frequent glances in the direction of his dog, he was quite surprised to see that when he finally made it across the vast room and over to answer the door, it was a smirking Otogi on the other side waiting to be let in.
`What the hell is *he* doing here?!?!' He thought to himself in a panic. If he ended up asking Jou what he was doing answering the door at his party then everything would be ruined!
***********************************************
When Katsuya opened the door, he was actually a little stunned to see someone about his age on the other side. All suited up and ready to come in. `I guess Seto isn't the only one his age to be a genius.' He thought to himself, assuming that, that would be the only way for another kid his age to get in. If they already owned a company of their own.
He was a little taller than Katsuya was, with pitch black hair tide back in tight ponytail. He had a nice looking colour of green for his eyes, as well as a red bandana with black diamonds tied across his forehead and under his hair. He had dice earings on and wore a black suit and tie with a trench coat.
"Welcome to Kaiba Mansion." He said in a dry tone that he couldn't help while stepping aside to let him in. It was actually harder than it looked saying that a million times per day. "May I take your coat?" He asked.
******************************************************
Otogi smirked when he heard the question. `Hn. So it's true! Kaiba is taking advantage of my dog!' He thought while chancing a glance over at the sneering CEO. `I could certainly use this!'
"Yes, you may." He replied politely, while removing his jacket and handing it to the awaiting blonde. Katsuya simply took it before walking over to a large nearby closet, grabbed a coat hanger and hung it up. When he wordlessly went back to a table and grabbed a silver tray full of champagne glasses to hand out, Otogi decided to walk up to Kaiba.
"Hello, Kaiba." He said politely, even though they both knew how much hate was laced in those words.
"The last time I checked, your name was not on the guest list." Seto replied coolly. Everyone around him took that as their cue to leave and let the two CEO's argue about business, or whatever it was they constantly fought over.
"Last time I checked, *my* dog didn't work for you." He said in an equally cool tone of voice that caused Seto's eyes to twitch dangerously.
He clenched his fists as if getting ready to fight. "What did you say?" He demanded dangerously. There was *no way* that this little dice freak just said that Jou belonged to him!!
Otogi's smirk only deepened, and his eyes sparkled with mischief. "You heard me." He said simply. "And the fact that you're taking advantage of his amnesia like this is something that I find rather intriguing." He added just to try and scare him.
Oh and it scared him alright. At least a little bit. How in the world did he find out?! Where in the name of Christ did he get this information?!? Somebody was going to die for this! "I don't know what you're talking about. He came here of his own free will and asked me for a job." He lied easily despite his inward conflict.
"Is that so? The proud puppy actually came to you and asked for a job? Mind if I asked why?" He asked simply.
"None of your Goddamn business!!" He hissed back.
Otogi shook his head. "Touchy aren't you?" He said innocently. "You could at least be a man and admit the truth."
Seto eyed him for a moment, wondering what his game was. But the fact remained that he *did* know what his game was. To take Jou away from him. He always knew about his little infatuation with his blonde, almost everyone did aside from Katsuya himself. But the question was: how did he find out? "Who told you this?" He asked while casually taking a sip from his wine glass.
"Oh, just an old friend of the family." He replied while crossing his arms. "Or as you so delicately put it in this very house: The Bitch." He finished with a sneer.
Seto almost choked on his drink when he heard that, and he immediately turned to face the dice master in disbelief. "You can't mean that Kanzaki woman!?" He asked in disbelief.
"*Dr*. Kanzaki." He corrected in an annoyed tone of voice. "And she told me all about how my puppy was staying with you. She even told me about his amnesia, and I knew right away that to take advantage of something like this wouldn't be beneath you!" He hissed while taking a glance at where the blonde was still handing out champagne glasses and trying to stifle his yawns of boredom.
"What do you want?" Seto asked, assuming that this was about money and suddenly *very* willing to pay whatever it was that Otogi had in mind in order to get rid of him.
The ebony haired boy simply smirked at the question, before turning his gaze back to where Jou was. "Hey Mutt!!" He called out, instantly getting the blonde's attention.
Katsuya looked across the room, expecting it to have been Seto that called out to him, but he scowled once he saw that it was that stranger who so rudely used his nickname to get his attention. `It's bad enough that Seto calls me that! Now I got this jerk using it!' He inwardly yelled as he walked over.
In all fairness, he really didn't mind it when Seto called him a puppy, and he was calling him a mutt and dog less frequently so he actually grew to like the pet name. But for some reason the idea of someone using that name on him made his blood boil.
He guessed that he was really starting to like his boss, otherwise it would just piss him off. It was really nice of him letting him stay in the same bed. But it was really strange when the next morning he woke up and Seto wasn't there. And when he did finally show up out of the connecting bathroom, he looked both flushed and angered. He couldn't help but wonder what he was doing when he was gone.
`Oh well.' He thought to himself as he came to a stop next to the pair. "I'm not a dog." Was the first thing that came out of his mouth, annoyance and all directed solely at Otogi.
The green eyed boy simply smirked at him, his eyes lidded with something that Katsuya couldn't place as he spoke. "I've been speaking with your employer here, puppy," He started, causing both the blonde and brunets eyes to light up angrily, but neither of them could say a thing. Seto because he couldn't give away the secret and Jou because he thought that this guy was an important business partner of Seto's. "And we both decided that, as usual, it would be best if you spent the night at my estate." He finished simply.
Seto's eyes twitched dangerously when he heard that, but what was he supposed to say? The little bastard had just told his puppy this as if he'd already agreed to it! Not only that, but made it out as if this was common behaviour! What the hell was he supposed to say to argue with that?!
"Um...Why?" Katsuya asked innocently, cocking his head to the side and looking towards Seto for an answer.
"Oh yes! That's right I forgot about your amnesia!" Otogi said as if he was surprised with himself. "How silly of me to forget! Well anyway, you're quite good at your job, dog, and so your employer lets me borrow you on the rare occasion to do odd jobs for me." He explained, also turning to Seto. "Right?" He asked dangerously. And the CEO immediately knew that if he didn't agree then he would blow his cover.
"That's right." He agreed in his normal `I don't give a shit' voice. But on the inside he just wanted to strangle the fucker for doing this.
"But it's almost midnight!" Katsuya practically shouted in shock. "What could you have me do this late that can't wait until
tomorrow?" He asked while crossing his arms, truly not understanding where Otogi's train of thought had gone. But Seto understood, and he had to fight to keep the vein in his forehead from popping at this point.
"Nothing really." He replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "This just makes it simpler. I'll take you home with me tonight so that you won't have to wake up early and come over in the morning, then when your finished what I have planned for you, I can just send you back here. It actually saves time once you stop to think about it." He explained. Saying the word "planned" in a way that Seto didn't appreciate at all.
The blonde simply sighed. It was far too late at night to argue, and he really wanted to get some sleep anyway. "I guess so then." Was all he said.
"Alright then! It's all settled." Otogi said with a clap of his hands. "Tonight you'll come home with me. But before you do, you should perhaps pack a small bag of things and I'll wait for you out in front in about a half an hour." He before smirking and walking away, but not without winking at Seto in a suggestive manner that almost caused him to jump the green eyed boy and beat the living shit out of him.
`He's not planning on doing what I think he's doing?! Is he?' He thought to himself, slightly fearful of what he just got both himself and his puppy into.
Katsuya was still looking at him though, waiting for an explanation to all of this because in the long run, it just didn't seem right. Seto merely looked back coldly, truly not knowing what to do as his blue eyes bore into his glowing amber ones, trying to find a way out of this without exposing himself and the secret he was keeping. He really didn't want to lose his puppy so early in his game.
Unfortunately his brilliant mind came up with nothing for a solution, and he was forced to play by Otogi's game and hope that he wasn't planning anything *suggestive* for tonight with his blonde.
"You should pack up a toothbrush and something to sleep in for the night." Was all he said before turning around and leaving him there, knowing that if he stayed any longer he would either hurt or kill something nearby with the frustration he felt. And since Jou was the closest thing to him, he just didn't want to risk it.
