Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seto sighed softly, he was too exhausted to fight so he'd just try to be happy about the fact that he was trapped with an oblivious moron.

- - -

Hiroto however was not as oblivious, and he had a feeling Kaiba purposely wearing himself out was only going to make his buddy's life harder, something he was not ok with. Cutting off Jounouchi's stream of consciousness projection, he interjected accusingly, "productive sounds about right. Though if your brother has taken over your office, and from the looks of the room stolen most of your home based equipment, what exactly were you doing all night?"

The petulant b*****d merely glared at him, swore, and told him to get the ******** out of his room, however Jounouchi's attention was now ground back to the problem at hand. Hiroto felt slightly bad about that, pulling his friend out of a happy reverie. However it would be better to take care of the problems at hand rather than entertain temporary happiness, that most definitely would come crashing down if this stubborn, idiot, rich guy made himself more ill. It would of course be all Kaiba's fault, but Jounouchi would still blame himself, felt he hadn't done his job. Hiroto was not going to just stand here and let his best friend feel guilty because of this jackass.

While Jounouchi began his own interrogation Hiroto began to inspect the room, trying to decide what types of items would be useful to Kaiba working, and where he might stash them.

((Yea, and again I don't totally hate her because of it, it just kinda shunts me away from liking her in pairings. And it's not that she splits up the pairing, more she just kinda inevitably splits up them as brothers...and in kind of a weird way but I won't say in case you ever want to just read it. But yea, b/c of it I can't stand her too much as a paired character, and generally my favorite pairing to put her in is with Kasanoda. First because he's adorable, but secondly he's not in the group and doesn't shift their dynamic with each other.

Haha, it's not entirely your fault, I kinda started getting into it a few years ago, originally dabbling to find things to annoy my friend with since she hates the pair. And while most of it is awful it nonetheless still intrigued me on the idea of them as a pair. Art-wise I think there is decent enough representation, there is just a lot more of this so you kind of get overwhelmed with what's bad. But that's true of many popular pairings. I found fantastic Evo KurtxToad art and was like wtf, why does this exist (but in a happy about it way)? And I didn't even really find any bad stuff. I can't find tons for it, but I was able to find a lot of good stuff, which was probably better. I think the smaller the fanbase the more dedicated people have to be to their interest, especially as they are more likely to get crap for it anyhow. I mean so much of the awful Puppyshipping stuff is validated. People leave comments saying, omg this is amazing, great story on a piece in which the words puppy and ceo are continually spelled incorrectly. I mean sure, people are free to do what they want, it's just kind of irritating to watch bad stories repeatedly tossed out with demand.))

Seto narrowed his eyes at Jounouch, "I was secretly working on product development ideas for my company all night. Prove it!" he spat sarcastically. He probably shouldn't start this fight, Jounouchi was already making his life a claustrophobic nightmare. He was letting the fact that the b*****d Honda's meddling was creating problems that never would have been brought to light by his not exactly insightful caretaker. He needed to find a way to shut the shorter brunette up and kick him out of his house pronto, however now he'd first have to get Jounouchi out of his face.

((No the goth guy is Nekozawa, assuming you mean the goth kid with the cat puppet. Kasanoda was the one from the yakuza family everyone is afraid of. Even though he doesn't want to be feared. Haruhi is the only one not terrified of him which is part of why he falls for her.

What is Wallshipping? I'd have to take your word on that ratio, but again it's a likely ratio. There are probably way more anime fans than decent artists/writers. So the more fans something has, the more likely it is to have an increased number of poor artists/writers. Though with Puppyshipping there does seem quite the high number of delusional awful, particularly with writing. Though again that's probably a result of the difficulty of the pairing.))

Pinching the bridge of his nose with exasperation Seto growled, "Argh, it's called sarcasm you damn idiot. I wasn't doing anything. I just didn't sleep well alright? Back off!"

Turning to Honda before Jounouchi could say anything further he continued, "and you! Get the hell out of my house right now!"

- - -

Hiroto paid little mind to Kaiba's eviction notice. Continuing his inspection of the room he decided the most likely place to conceal anything, and the easiest to get to from the massive bed, would be underneath the bed frame. He didn't expect to find anything out in the open, but hopefully his keen detection skills would help him note a loose floorboard or hidden chamber. With that in mind he ignored the protesting CEO and slithered underneath the bed, though he didn't get very far before the room's exceptionally angry resident climbed down after him. He tried very hard not to laugh as Kaiba grabbed him around the waist and lectured (screamed) about invasion of privacy, trespassing and any other charge he could think of as he tried to pull Hiroto back out from under the bed.

At the very least Hiroto was absolutely certain he was searching in the right place now.

((Ah yes, right, I at one point knew that (wallshipping). Just so many names, the ones that aren't pairings I actually care for become a blur. Though I don't mind the idea of Rishid/Shizuka, I'm just not interested enough in either character to really get invested in that pairing. Generally I have to either really like the characters in a pairing, or there has to be a lot of canon stuff I just can't help but love even if I never really follow the pairing outside of the series.))

Seto just tightened his grip as Jounouchi attempted to grab him from behind. He wanted to object to the girl statement, finding it absolute absurd that losing consciousness was somehow linked to a specific gender. At the moment though he was more focused on strangling Honda, who had actually managed to pry open the compartment where his laptop was hidden.

With a surprising amount of force Jounouchi hauled all three of them out from under the bed. Unfortunately the laptop came along for the ride. Honda hoisted it up triumphantly, Seto merely groaned frustrated.

((I'll assume you meant Rishid there and not Honda, heh. But yea. razz ))

Seto glared at Honda witheringly, mumbling under his breath about what an idiot Jounouchi was for even asking if the laptop was under the bed. What, did he think his friend a magician who could just magic laptops out of his big pointy hair?!?

- - -

"Yea it was," Hiroto revealed triumphantly, pointing at Kaiba as he admonished (taunted) further, "see Jounouchi, you put all this effort into trying to help this idiot recover and he just goes out of his way to thwart that. Maybe he doesn't want to get better, maybe he likes having you here."

Seto growled at Jounouchi. "Or you could just get the hell out of my house and leave me to my own damn business," he spat. It's not like he wanted Jounouchi here, he wanted to be left alone. "If you'd go away I could work during the day and sleep at night like a normal person. Work is not exhausting me, your wretched hovering is!"

Seto stood up and glared at Jounouchi, he had no right to try to guilt or blackmail him into anything. "Mokuba is not a doctor, his opinion counts very little in regards to what constitutes adequate sleep," Seto snapped, adding, "and I'd damn well sleep at night, at least until I'm 'recovered' if you'd let me do the only thing I want to do doing the damn day!"

He was agitated with how petulant and childish he sounded at the moment, but he didn't care. Fine he couldn't go into the office, fine he had to stay in bed. However he was going to go absolutely insane if he had to be cut off from his company for days, much less the possible weeks recovery might entail. And Mokuba would never understand that. Seto loved the kid, but if he understood he wouldn't constantly chide him for working all hours even when healthy. Granted he wouldn't expect a normal person to understand the compulsion that drove him to bury himself in his work. He imagined he'd have an easier time convincing anyone other than his brother to just leave it alone though. Unfortunately trying to plead his case to Jounouchi would probably be impossible. The man absolutely infuriated him, how was he going to try and reason with him?
