Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seto flinched violently when Jounouchi grabbed him by the wrist. He wouldn't exactly say he had "hit" the girl, maybe struck her more forcefully than necessary. That's the trail of thought he might have expressed had he been thinking clearly rather than just feeling and reacting at the moment. Instead, before a completely unsuspecting Jounouchi could begin to react, Seto raised his other arm and punched the other man hard in the jaw. Being unprepared for a clearly unjustified assault Jounouchi toppled backward, though as he had only clenched Seto's arm tighter during the assault he pulled the equally stunned CEO down with him.

"Let me make a call," Ando replied, calling through to the Kaiba household in order to find out if alternative contact methods were available. After a few minutes of conversation Ando thanked the head housekeeper and said, "Jounouchi does not in fact have a mobile device, but apparently the limo driver informed them that earlier this afternoon a younger sister, Jounouchi Shizuka, was retrieved from their place of residence. Her number is being searched and should be messaged to your own phone shortly if you'd like to attempt to contact them through her."

((Unless Mokuba is psychic no, no he did not. Though he does now. razz

Also random but realized I never addressed it before, nope, totally don't expect you to remember the random side characters I make up. I don't even remember their names - though I do remember their positions and where I inserted them. As much as I loved random doctor guy I am not entirely sure of his name and should I desire him again I'd have to scroll back.))

Seto's head spun slightly as Jounouchi roughly squeezed his throat in. Part of his brain, the higher functioning bit that had contributed to all of his financial and business success, begged him to gain control of his emotions and move to end this impromptu brawl immediately. That part was swiftly ignored, and though Jounouchi had initially attained an upper hand by pinning Seto to the ground by chest and throat, the larger man still had enough air and energy in him to jam his knee into his opponents gut. Flinching from the hard strike Jounouchi loosened his grip, allowing Seto to get another punch in, this time firmly into the side of the hotheaded blond's ribs.

Shizuka shrieked as her big brother and Kaiba broke into a violent physical altercation on the ground. She was however paid no mind as the fight intensified and the petite girl was left helpless as to what to do. When her cell began to ring, listing an unfamiliar number at that, she debated ending the call. Yet with no insight into how to do anything helpful with the situation currently at hand she figured she may as well give answering the phone a shot. Maybe she'd luck out and it'd be an anger management counselor specializing in phone based resolution, or a wrestling coach with tips onto how a small woman might overpower two much larger men without breaking a nail.

"Hello, Jounouchi Shizuka speaking?"

((That's actually a great idea. Next time I scroll back I'll take notes. razz ))

"Oh, Mokuba, hello, I suppose you've heard about the crash yes? Your brother, my own and myself all got out physically fine, but the pilot was sadly killed on impact. I think this ordeal has taken a bit of an emotional toll though, I'm currently trying to figure out how to get our older brother's to stop beating each other. A few confused intentions and words and the punches started flying," Shizuka explained in a rush, still slightly distracted as the oblivious Jounouchi and Kaiba still kept thrusting their limbs at one another.

"Ah right, okay, thank you Mokuba give me one moment please," Shizuka said, lowering the phone to her side before turning to the feuding pair, "hey, hey big brother, Kaiba, please stop trying to kill each other. Mokuba is on the phone and you are upsetting both of us." She hoped they were at least vaguely listening enough to maybe take in enough of what she said to slow their punches.

Seto sighed as he processed what Jounouchi's sister was attempting to tell them. He had no energy to talk to Mokuba. Sparring with Jounouchi was actually proving to be therapeutic, but only while he was actually distracted with that. Now he was back to having to deal with reality. A reality in which his pilot was dead, an evil spirit of some sort was stalking and harassing him, and he was somehow latched to the Jounouchi family. This was not a reality that someone like Kaiba Seto had a clue how to handle. With absorbing himself in mindless violence now a futile endeavor he stopped fighting and laid back on the ground beneath Jounouchi, letting the still angry man continue to land his final punches without resistance.

Seto glared at Jounouchi and rolled away from his extended hand, pushing himself into a standing position. Sighing heavily he snatched Shizuka's cellphone and said gruffly into the receiver, "Mokuba?"

"Yes, I'm fine," Seto answered curtly, attempting to mask any emotion and refusing to divulge specific details for as long as he could get away with it.

"Helicopter crashed," Seto answered tersely, still being aggravatingly vague. He knew Mokuba had to be getting exasperated, possibly pissed, however with him safely secured away at Kaiba Corp it would at least be awhile before Seto had to face him.
