"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Mondo ground his teeth as someone sidled up next to him, someone he'd become rather familiar with over the past few weeks because, for some reason, he'd become her recent obsession. "What do you want, Jack?"

"Hahahahahahaha! Why, I've come to remind you once again of your weak status, of course~!"

And that was why Mondo was grinding his teeth. Ever since he'd insulted Byakuya a few weeks back about his weak and scrawny frame, Jack had gotten onto his case. "Well then, let me hear it."

"Well, well, well, let's see. Even if you have bulging muscles, that doesn't make you stronger than Master~!" she started, and Mondo was already rolling his eyes as he kept walking down the hallway. "Master may be physically weaker than you, but his mental fortitude, charm, intelligence, and attractiveness far outweigh yours, and those are much more important!"

"Different things are important for different people. Doesn't he have to hire bodyguards to make up for his lack of strength?" Mondo asked.

"Even so, that's only because people want him for all his other traits, myself included!" she went on, her crazy tongue flicking around like a snake. "My Master far exceeds you in every other trait, all of which are more important than dumb, brute strength!"

"Oh yeah?" he asked, his anger building, and his usual techniques for calming it that Chihiro had been helping him with…were not helping.

"Absolutely! I doubt there's much you can even do with such dumb strength like that! Other than being an idiot brute who can't even work anywhere remotely to the same level as my incredible Master! You wouldn't even be able to work FOR him, not even as a bodyguard! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Shut up," he warned, feeling his face heating up with anger.

"Never! Not until you understand how my Master is a superior human to you in every possible way!"

"OH YEAH?! WANNA PROVE IT?!" Mondo finally screamed as he whirled to her, and she cackled.

"Prove it~? How so?" she asked, and he decided to give it some thought. As he stared at her though, and stared at her tongue, he smirked.

"I bet I can prove one thing I'm better at than that lanky fucker," Mondo said, and Jack raised an eyebrow, to which he raised a finger to point at her. "I bet I'm leagues better in bed than he could ever be!" Jack's eyes widened, and for once, she looked surprised. He kept his smirk on his face as she slowly formed one of her own.

"Oh yeah? Is that so~?" she asked. "Well I'll have you know I managed to snag him into bed just once, so I do have a way to compare~" She leaned forward until their faces nearly touched. "So, tough guy, you sure you wanna try and prove it~"

"Of course, I never back down from a challenge," he replied, and with a giggle, Jack turned and gestured for him to follow. He nodded and strode confidently after her

And indeed, he spent that night proving to Jack that he was far better at pleasuring a woman than Byakuya ever could…half a dozen times. Jack also rewarded him for his victory in kind, which he very much appreciated….half a dozen times.

However, by the time he woke up the next morning, Toko was shrieking at the top of her lungs and cursing Jack's name as she fled the room in nothing but her birthday suit, all while Mondo continued smirking all the while.

Maybe Jack would finally shut up now.
