Passing Currency

At the end of the meeting, Yuki stands, placing Seto’s
small body in the chair. He steps up to Gozaburo. “I’d like the boy for a
night.”

Gozaburo chuckles. “I knew
you’d come around, Shintuski. It won’t be cheap and I may want something else
from you.”

Yuki growls. class=GramE>“Of course, Kaiba. He’d better be good if you expect me to
pay huge amounts of money.”

Gozaburo smiles wickedly. “He will beclass=GramE>, I’ll make sure of that. One night, two?
A weekend? How long do you want him?”

Yuki takes a turn to grin. “As often
as possible.” He laughs at Gozaburo’s shocked face. “Is that going to be
a problem?”

Gozaburo shrugs. “We’ll see what the other men want,
Shintuski.”

A frightened scream splits the air, causing Yuki to
whirl around. “What is…” He sees Tanamoto pushing Seto
onto the table, and watches in horror as tattoos and scars appear on the boy
while he transforms into the former High Priest.

Seto feels himself jerked harshly out of his seat.
“No, stop!”

Tanamoto laughs and yanks him up again, pressing him
against the table “Come boy! The meeting is over; it’s time to render your
services.”

Seto’s head is knocked back on his neck, causing unconsciousness.
Whe loo looks at his attacker again, he is now Seth, the former High Priest of
Egypt. Black tattoos trace their way up his arms and scars form on his chest
and back. “Get your hands off me! Don’t touch me, you have no right to!” Seth
gathers his energy, though it is limited without the use of the Millennium Rod.
He focuses on Tanamoto’s chest, ready to banish him to the Shadow Realm.

Tanamoto roars angrily. “I have every right to touch
you. You belong to me tonight, and I will hay say satisfaction if you know
what’s good for you.”

Yuki runs over to the pair. Taking hold of Seth, he
transports the both of them to his house, far away from Kaiba Corp, and
Tanamoto. He flings Seth into a chair, despite the fact that the boy can not
walk properly and cries out in protest. “Seth! You can’t just send people to
the Shadow Realm for annoying you! This isn’t w:st="on">Egypt anymore! And even then, it
had to be by a Shadow Game!” He falls onto the couch, sighing with something
more than a little exhaustion. “And now I’ve teleported in front of the entire
group. I’m going to have some explaining to do tomorrow.”

Seth growls deeply releasing the pent up energy onto a
nearby lamp. “Why? Why did you pull me away from him? He needed to be sent to
the Shadow Realm, Game or no.”

Yuki nods. “I know, Seth. I know, Azure Eyes, but
there’s nothing I can do about it. You would have Seto killed for doing that
because Gozaburo would not stand for it. Just… Just
please don’t do anything stupid. Seto can’t afford it. Especially since the
Pharaoh will be returning soon.”

Seth sighs and sits on a couch. “Fine,
but only for Pharaoh. Take me back to that man; I will make sure Seto
will not be in too much pain.”

Yuki sighs. “Are you sure that is what you want Seth?
He will do unspeakable things to you.”

Seth nods sadly. “Yes Yuki. Take me back to him. I-I
will let man man have me instead of little Seto. I’m better versed at pleasing
men.”
