Cigarettes? Seto thought to himself fuzzily. That was what this uncouth man was storming around the city rampaging about, could he be anymore low class?
- - -
"Oh I see," he replied icily, trying to lace as much venom into each word as possible, "I should have realized you'd have to assist your pansy boyfriend here." Tetsuo narrowed his eyes, he hadn't seriously thought of the situation in such terms until he said it, now he wondered. Appearances and an avoidance of making high class enemies be damned, if that's what this was the elder Jounouchi was definitely about to start throwing some punches.
- - -
Boyfriend, what the hell is he talking about? Seto pondered baffled, too out of sorts to possibly connect the conversation to himself in any way.

"Wh-" Jounouchi's face flushed. He hoped beyond hope his father was just being condescending, and didn't actually think Kaiba was his boyfriend! "Y-you've got it all wrong, Oyaji!" he quickly began to argue, ignoring the sense of dread and panic that was slowly overtaking his sense for now, "I hate this guy, like, seriously hate him! I just ended up running into the b*****d and he goes and faints on me! I'm only taking him to the hospital because of that!"

Yea, hate,you tell 'em... Seto leaned his head against Jounochi's shoulder and began to nod off. He wasn't going to press the whole necessity of the hospital in the midst of a family spat, however he was also not going to try and stay awake for it.
- - -
"Boy, who do you think you're talkin' to? If you're gunna lie maybe you ought ta pick a more believable tale hmm? Oh he's my enemy but I had to take him to the hospital?! Do you listen to yourself?" Tetsuo was getting angry. His son was obviously pushing his intelligence, he absolutely despised when people tried to do that to him, treat him like some low class idiot. He wouldn't stand for it form his own family.

"B... but it's the truth!" Jounouchi argued pathetically, losing his nerve more and more the longer he pressed on trying to convince his father. "You know I'm amazing at coming up with good lies, so that mean's this has gotta be the truth for it to be that ridiculous!" he immediately regretted those words. Yes, his father believed Jounouchi was good at coming up with lies, but he had never actually confessed to being a liar to the man; he had pretty much done just that when he said "You know."

"Oh, so you're sayin you lie to me often huh boy? That I can't believe a word that comes out of your hypocritical mouth huh?" Tetsuo was literally shaking with fury now. Deciding he heard enough of the crap he closed the remaining distance between himself and his son. Raising his right arm into a hook he prepared to swing, collateral damage of the boy in the suit be damned.
- - -
"Ok, I seriously need to start writing notes on my hand or something," Hiroto mumbled to himself. He knew he had a definitive goal after parting ways with Jounouchi, but after stopping to get a soda and play a round of Alien Wars at the arcade he couldn't remember for the life of him what that was. Maybe he'd go visit Anzu while he tried to remember what his day plans were.
Having had enough of the loud and chaotic traffic, he decided to cut through the park. After only a few minutes of pleasant meandering, Hiroto found himself halted dead in his tracks by a horrific and surprising sight ahead. First there was the fact that Jounouchi seemed to be holding up, of all people, Kaiba Seto. Poor kid just couldn't catch a break huh? How the hell did the two of them both end up out here and in this situation again? However he'd have to deal with those thoughts later, because at that moment the elder Jounouchi advanced, and Hiroto unfortunately knew what was coming next. Summoning up all his energy he sprinted towards the trio. It was unlikely he'd get there in time to interfere, but he had to try.
- - -
Life is good, life is good, life is very very good. A public setting, an angry drunken father, and look yonder, cue heroic super best friend to the pathetic rescue! Could life be any sweeter? Talk about the deal of a lifetime, and he'd barely had to do any work. Just float atop and enjoy the shows.

"Th-that's not what...!" Jounouchi couldn't finish his sentence as Tetsuo began approaching, now instead concentrating on making this blow as... not bad as it could possibly be. For starters, he tossed Kaiba off to the side, as gently as he could, so the other wouldn't end up getting hit or recoiled on or something. Jounouchi never actually fought back against his father, having too much of a mixture of respect and fear for the man to do so, not to mention how guilty he would feel hitting a close family member, so instead he raised his arms in front of where his father was aiming, hoping that they would take most of the blow for him.
He knew he could probably stand against his father well enough if he tried; the other man was a lot larger and stronger, but Jounouchi was by far faster, considering he had managed to get Kaiba safely away and put up his guard in the time it took Tetsuo to just swing his arm forward. Not to mention Jounouchi had actual experience in fighting, avoiding hits, finding vital points, all that stuff. Tetsuo's only experience was in hitting Jounouchi, who never fought back, as hard as he could. However, no matter how much he thought about how he could take his father, the blond knew he never would fight back. It just... wasn't possible for him. And with that thought, he closed his eyes, awaiting the blow about to connect, unaware of his best friend running up from behind.
((Hahaha, oh Honda, you and your pathetic super best friend rescue, I love it!))

Seto fell unceremoniously to the ground. Given the escalating situation his options were obviously grim, still, he had wished there had been something on the table better than being tossed to the floor. He laid back down and shut his eyes, not sure he wanted to watch what was certain to be a gruesome family encounter, Seto had enough experience with those. He felt a twinge of concern rising up nonetheless, and immediately tried to suppress the feeling back down. There was no way he was going to worry about that low life Jounouchi, absolutely no way. Still, the guy had been helping him. Attempting to convince himself that he was only doing this in hopes of expediting the affair, Seto applied a rather deft kick to Jounouchi Sr's kneecap, swiftly bringing the burly man to the ground.
- - -
Hiroto threw himself against Jounouchi, feeling an arm brush against his side in the process, though surprisingly with almost no force behind the punch. Had he really made it in time? Glancing downward, he was shocked to see the elder man completely felled, had he tripped? That seemed quite unlikely, unless Kaiba had tripped him. But why on earth would the self-centered billionaire have done that? Ignoring that for now he turned his attention to his friend, "Jou you ok man?"
- - -
*sigh* how anticlimactic that turned out to be, at least for now. Hmm...or perhaps things could still be spiced up. Emitting a most devious chuckle, he drifted back towards the world's surface, debating between natural disaster and possession as he went.
((Haha, I know, I realized I hadn't played my spirit in awhile, I missed him. It was in thinking of how to pick at Honda that he came back to me. Oh pathetic Honda, how I sometimes love you, because you are pathetically entertaining. xd ))

Jounouchi's eyes had opened wide just as he heard his father fall to the ground. Had he passed out!? "O... yaj...?" before he could even finish the questioning word, he felt himself being propelled forward by a force from behind.
Looking up in shock as he hit the ground, he was now face-to-face with his best friend, the other boy holding himself up hands-and-knees over him. Had Honda knocked his father down? But then why would he feel the need to tackle Jounouchi to a safe distance after doing so? "Ho-Honda, what the hell...?" he was at a loss for anymore words besides those.
Then, it hit him. Tetsuo had been knocked down somehow. Whether Honda had hit him or he had just passed out from drunkenness, the man could still be in need of help at the moment. "s**t, Oyaji!" Quickly, though gently, shoving his friend off of him, he hurriedly crawled over to the man, wanting to make sure he was okay.
((Hehee, yes, I was starting to miss him too. XD He and Tetsuo have definitely added some more intrigue to the plot now. I love how pathetic Honda is so much. And ha, I hope you don't mind, but I decided to add to his patheticness by having him over-do the 'savior' thing by dramatically tackling Jounouchi to the ground. Not sure if you were going for that or not.))

Seriously Jounouchi, Seto thought to himself, more than a tad annoyed. He could protest the descriptor all he wanted, but the boy really was a dog. Who crawls over to a man who had kicked him, repeatedly? Seto would never do that. He just didn't understand.
- - -
"Sorry..." Hiroto began to apologize for his overly exuberant attempt at a rescue. However before he could even begin Jounouchi had freed himself and rushed over to his father. Hiroto sighed, slightly saddened. After everything the man put him through, Jounouchi still couldn't resist his sense of duty, and desire to have any sort of connection with family.
- - -
Tetsuo shoved Jounouchi to the ground when the boy attempted to help him. He was absolutely livid, how dare that rich b*****d attack him like that. Well if he wanted a fight he'd have one. Ignoring his son, he turned his focus on Kaiba, who had in this time managed to sit up, and was shooting back a glare of equal ferocity. "Sorry, didn't mean to leave you out of my quarrel with your little boyfriend," he sneered at the injured billionaire, advancing with no concern whatsoever for picking on a man already down.
((Wasn't going for that but don't mind at all, in fact it's great! I mean part of what intrigues me about rp is that you don't just get to write a story you get to read a story. All the fun of creativity with the thrilling sense of surprise. So yes, by all means, make Honda even more pathetic! I love it!! And yes after escape from Kaiba corp I felt more characters really needed to come into play, I mean we have such an expansive character list, they look so lonely.))

Jounouchi blinked from where he had been knocked down, now watching Tetsuo advance on Kaiba. Had that been what happened... Kaiba had knocked his father down??? There was just no way... unless maybe the guy was getting revenge for being tossed to the ground? But it seemed too... fair of the CEO, to actually attack the person that caused the reason he needed to be shoved to the ground, instead of the person who had actually done it. Jounouchi would've sooner just expected the guy to stand back up and make angry remarks about the events before leaving to let whatever happen happen. Then again, Kaiba wasn't exactly in his normal mindset at the moment.
Regardless of anyone's motivations though, this looked bad. Tetsuo was advancing on Kaiba now, and Kaiba was definitely in no condition to take a hit. Why did the idiot have to go and get involved in this? Well, be it from a sense of duty to pay the brunet back for stopping his father, or from actual compassion, Jounouchi knew it was his turn to save the other now. "Oyaji, wait!" he rushed over to the man, grabbing him from behind to try and pull him back and calm him at the same time, "Look, he's hurt, and delirious; just leave the damn b*****d alone, okay?! C'mon, I have your cigs, so let's just go back home!"
((Haha, yay. XD Yes, that's exactly what I love about roleplays. You get control, but at the same time suspense. And I totally agree about the characters; I'm just so bad at initiating that kind of thing. XP I couldn't think of a way to bring more people in.))

Tetsuo turned around, eyes narrowed, attempting to focus on his son. He thought about the situation for about half a second, and then decked the kid as hard as he could, sending the youth sprawling to the ground. Generally Katsuya was able to at least put up a block, and he was rather pleased with how quickly and unexpectedly he had been able to attack. Aiming one more deft kick to the fallen blond's side, just to make sure he stayed down for awhile, he turned back to face a now standing Kaiba. Sneering he approached the "hurt and delirious" man. "Want to pick a fight with me boy? I'll make you regret that," Tetsuo threatened with a maniacal grin.
- - -
Seto had no doubt he was going to regret this fight, but that wasn't about to keep him out of it. Clearly Jounouchi had no plan besides just standing there and take a beating. Deep down, Seto knew he could empathize. He knew all too well about accepting abuse in hopes of some sort of recognition. He also knew how utterly futile it was, but now was not the time to be giving a lesson on obtaining a healthy emotional state.
Not wasting time with baiting, Seto aimed a sharp jab to the throat, earning a strangled cry and a wild punch to the abdomen. Seto grunted, but remained on his feet, sending smart taps towards key pressure points (just not with enough energy to fell the other man). Despite his extreme disadvantage, his deliberate and calculated moves were giving him the upper hand, until his opponent landed a well timed blow to his chest. Gasping he fell to his knees, actually worried that the raging psychopath standing over him was about to kill him. Suddenly, to his surprise, Jounouchi Sr's features went blank, his knees buckled, and he fell backwards to the ground.
- - -
"Sorry Jou," Hiroto apologized to his best friend, just now getting to his feet, "I just didn't know...it, that just seemed the quickest solution for now." Despite the fact that his father was absolute scum, Jou still tried to take care of the man. Hopefully Jou wouldn't be too angry that Hiroto had just gone for a blow to the temporal artery, effectively knocking the man out for the time being. Before receiving a reply, he was distracted from Jounouchi's worry over his unconscious father by a heavy bout of coughing from behind. Right, Kaiba, he thought, turning towards the brunette. Even though he had never really liked the guy, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried at the heavy amount of blood pouring from the other's mouth at the moment.
((Haha, yea, I just made 'em all show up. I kind of didn't want Honda again but looking at the rest of my characters there weren't too many great candidates for random entry into the story at this point. I mean I coulda brought Ryou in, but he probably would have just stood there and been like, "oh my!" Although now that I'm picturing that it seems hilarious. Ryou gawking at a Jounouchi/Jounouchi/Kaiba/Honda battle. Hmm... xd ))

Jounouchi had been surprised to see his father turn and focus on him for a moment. Was he honestly considering his son's words and deciding to back off? The hope from that thought was enough to let his guard down in that split second, and suddenly he was being punched in the face.
Cursing in his head, the blond began to sit up, wiping some blood from his chin, but was suddenly downed again as he felt a swift pain to his side. He yelped, gripping at his side now and rolling on the ground, trying to find a position that would make the pain become just a little less sharp, but to no avail.
As the pain finally subsided enough for him to focus, he turned his attention to the fight now happening before him, Kaiba seeming to be doing well for a quick moment, but then suddenly being overtaken. He started to hoist himself up, knowing he had to stop Tetsuo from going any further, but then to his relief, he saw Honda step in, knocking the man out.
Hearing his friend's apology, he bit his lip, quickly regretting doing so when he tasted blood from his earlier hit, "That's... no, you were right." he quickly shook his head, "Don't worry about it. Thanks man." he let out a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, and not panic about his father. Honda knew how to knock someone out without really hurting them, after all.
Jounouchi was standing now, clenching at his side. He stared at his downed father, not wanting to look Honda in the eyes, not because he was mad at him at all, but because he was ashamed for getting him involved in this. Upon hearing some coughing, he darted his gaze to Kaiba's direction, eyes going wide when he saw the blood spilling out, "s**t! O-okay Honda, this looks pretty bad... um..." he tried to think this all over, ignoring the adrenalin still coursing through his system, "Do you think... you can get Kaiba to the hospital? I need to get Oyaji home, before this causes a scene..." he looked around nervously; already people were staring.
((Ahahaha, that sounds so adorable, Bakura just sitting there watching. XD He would probably just be like, "Jounouchi Kun! -gasp-" And run over to help by... kneeling down next to them. Oh, he's so useless, but I luff him.))

There was a slight metallic tang on his tongue, and then there was a whole lot of it. He wasn't sure if it was coming up from his lungs or his stomach, if the injuries were from last night, the fight, or some combination therein. Being certain didn't particularly matter he decided, he was pretty sure he was about to die. Jounouchi walked off with his father, Hiroto took out a phone before kneeling down and mumbling unintelligible things towards Seto himself. Everything was blurry, and then everything was black.
- - -
"Sure man, I can handle this, take care of yourself," Hiroto answered. Helping Kaiba Seto wasn't particularly high on his to do list, not that he wanted to watch him bleed to death of course. And he couldn't care less about a scene, or Jounouchi Tetsuo. However his friend Jou needed to get away from this all, and for that reason, Hiroto could spend his day off coming to the rescue of one of his least favorite people in the world. As Jounouchi hoisted his father up and headed off towards their ramshackle apartment, Hiroto pulled out his cell to dial emergency services, crawling down to inspect Kaiba once he was assured they were on their way. He had zero medical knowledge, and resorted to merely saying phrases that he thought would be comforting. In some alternate reality where one could be comforted from the realization that they were dying. When Kaiba passed out - either from blood loss or exhaustion - Hiroto gently placed him on his side, so that he wouldn't choke on his own blood. Relief only came when sirens could be heard in the distance.
later
Hiroto paced outside the ICU, he wasn't sure why he was still there, but he didn't feel right just leaving. He wasn't sure what condition Kaiba was in, beyond the mere fact of "critical." There probably would have been some indication if he had died though, so he had to at least be alive, that was something.
Finally Hiroto pulled out his cell, deciding to give Anzu and Yuugi a call. First, because he could really use some company after such a crazy morning, and Jounouchi obviously wouldn't be available for awhile. Secondly, because Yuugi probably had Mokuba's phone number. This was not a call he wanted to make, but he didn't think anyone else had gotten around to it in this bedlam, and someone had to let the kid know what was going on.
"Hey Yuugi," Hiroto said, slightly cheered by the short kid's chipper reply, slightly guilty that he was probably about to bring him down. Yuugi felt for everyone, no matter how rich and annoying they might be. "Listen, I have some news and then I need a favor..."
((Haha, yea he makes Honda look useful *snicker*. Sooooo adorably useless. For now though I think I'm juggling enough characters, Jounouchi must be overwhelmed. Time to force more of your characters out of hiding. razz ))

A bit slowed by dragging his exceptionally larger father with him, Jounouchi eventually made it back to his apartment, managing to drop his father on the sofa before leaning down to examine him. The man seemed fine, at least as fine as a chronic drunk could be. Sighing in relief, he considered going back to meet Honda at the hospital. He hated to admit it, but he was worried about Kaiba. Plus, he didn't want his friend waiting there all alone. But then as his gave drew back to Tetsuo, he realized that would only cause more problems. His father would throw another hissy fit if he woke up back at home, not knowing how he got there, with no Katsuya to give him an explanation.
Sighing in defeat, Jounouchi placed the pack of cigarettes that had caused all this trouble on the sofa's armrest before heading off to his room, deciding to at least call Honda's cell to see how things were doing. When he did, however, he got a busy signal.
---
"Honda Kun!" Yuugi greeted happily in response at getting a call from his friend. Before he could ask how the other was, however, he heard Honda's next words, about bad news, "Sure." he blinked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" he was more serious now.
((Yay for useful Honda! He deserves a star! Yay, I was totally gonna figure out a way to bring Anzu or someone to the hospital with Honda; you just made my job easier! XD))

Seto screamed, twisted metal, blood and wreck.
Seto was driving the car.
Seto was in front of the car.
Seto was alone.
Seto was dreaming, and the dreams wouldn't end, because he couldn't wake up. Beeping and the soft thrum of machinery could be heard in the background, but Seto couldn't really hear it. He was trapped, listening to the crash on high definition repeat, suffering more in his head than he possibly could have been in the waking world.
- - -
Tetsuo grunted and rolled over, his head throbbed terribly, and he wasn't sure what had happened last night. Looking to the side of the couch he noticed a fresh pack of cigs, and wasted no time ripping it open and smoking one up. He felt immediately better. Content with not drudging up whatever had caused the groggy confusion and slight headache, he switched on the tube, deciding on the news. Other people's problems would be just the thing he needed right now. Reclining he settled in to watch, his only care in the world a few inches of chemical wrapped paper, trapped deliciously between his lips.
- - -
That was more painful than expected, Hiroto realized with a heavy sigh. Having finally terminated his calls with Yuugi and Anzu, he sat down in one of the uncomfortable plastic chairs. He had to wonder why hospitals put so much effort into being uncomfortable. He stared at his cell, Mokuba's number already loaded, all he had to hit was call. Talking to Yuugi and Anzu had been harder than expected though, this was just going to be painful. At least his friends were on their way. Plus Anzu said she'd talk to him while she ran over, he just had to call her back after he called Mokuba. The only problem was now getting to that after. He liked Mokuba. Sure he used to think him a punk kid who'd grow up to be as heartless and self-centered as his brother, but he'd long since realized that wasn't the case. And even if Kaiba was a selfish p***k, he was Mokuba's whole world. How do you call someone that you like and tell them that they are possibly losing their entire world? It was too much to deal with. He almost wish he'd just taken Yuugi up on his offer to call the kid himself.
Hiroto told Jounouchi he'd take care of this though, and as far as he was concerned that meant take care of all of it. To keep his word, he needed to call Mokuba himself. Resolved he finally pressed call. Holding the cell to his ear he couldn't help but hope he'd be directed to voicemail. The confused but polite, "hello?" he received about 7 seconds later crushed any remaining hope of that occurrence.
((Haha, I like to make things easier. razz ))
