Ok, people. I think I've got some humour back, but that last attack of Yami's deserves a like response, so no-one's going easy on the self-righteous bastard. Ok?
Rant V - Striken
Seto stared, momentarily too striken to reply. What had started as a philosophical debate was rapidly becoming a vicious mud-slinging contest, and Yami was aiming way below the belt. Mokuba was his life. How could anyone fail to see that? How dare that self-righteous bastard say such things about him and his brother. How dare he bring Mokuba into this at all.
A sudden movement caught his eye. Head up, fury on his face, his little brother strode up to the glaring pharoh, and punched him solidly in the groin. The pharoh crumpled. Seto looked at Mokuba in amazement. Yami really shouldn't have brought him into this. Mokuba could be quite the vindictive little bastard, as everyone could see. The cheerleading squad were rather stunned, the boys crouched over sympathetically. Only years of experience at hiding his reactions kept Kaiba from doing the same.
'You bastard!' Mokuba screamed. 'How dare you talk to my nii-sama like that! I love him, and he loves me! He's all I have. How dare you try to take that away from me! How dare you try to destroy someone so close to me, just because he made a point that you didn't like! I think he's right. Why else would you react like that? You hurt him because you know he's right! You're just like Gozaburo! That's what he did. He forced Seto to be the best, but any time Seto beat him, he hurt him so bad. You're all the same! You just want to hurt us! Why! Why does everyone want to hurt us?' he choked off a sob.
'Mokuba,' Seto moved forwards to pick up his little brother. 'Mokuba, it's alright. He just reacted. He didn't mean to hurt you. I know. Because if I thought he had, a punch to his unmentionables would seem light punishment. Trust me. I won't leave you because some arrogant prick decides to take a pot shot at me. I promise.'
He glared coldly at the gasping pharoh over his brother's tousled head. 'Anything you would like to say, Pharoh?'
Gee. The pharoh sure is getting some stick in this one. Will he be able to come back from this? From Mokuba's sucker punch? Probably not, but we'll see. R&R? It really does help. Yep. Totally.
