Don't ask where this is coming from. But I do like ranting.
Rant IV - Getting Vicious
Yami stared in shock. Had Kaiba really said that? Had he really implied that he, the pharoh, was ...what? Abusing Yugi? He would never, ever do that! Never! How dare that rich bastard say something like that! How DARE he!
'You're a fine one to talk of taking responsibility, Kaiba! How dare you speak to me of giving others choices! Have you ever given Mokuba a choice? Have you ever asked him if he wants to be the brother of a bitter, cold, unfeeling corporate head? Have you asked him if he wants to slave away his life in front of a KaibaCorp screen, old before his time? How dare you speak of my treatment of Yugi, when you treat your brother worse than I ever could treat him. How can you even look him in the face with all you have done to him? Don't you ever speak to me like that again. And don't ever bring Yugi into your pathetic feud. Do you understand me?'
Yugi stared at him. 'Pharoh...' he whispered. 'Don't you think that ... was a bit harsh? He was concerned for me. Don't you think that's a good thing? He ... cares. That's good. Isn't it?' Yami looked at his little companion, stunned. Yes, he'd been a little harsh, but Kaiba had all but accused him of abusing the innocent young man. Unless.. Yugi felt that Kaiba was right? Had he ... had he really been so thoughtless, so cavalier with his companion's feelings?
Uneasy, he turned back to Kaiba. 'We'll see what he says, Yugi.'
Lads, this is way more angsty than the rest, and it looks like things are going to keep going that way. I didn't intend for it to go this way, but now that this has been aired, I have to keep going. Wish me luck?
