NOTES: [Prompt 038 – A red suit] on Literati Perverati.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/literati_perverati/

A “danna” or patron, is typically a wealthy man, sometimes married, who has the means to support the very expensive training and lifestyle of a Geisha. A Geisha and her danna may or may not be in love, intimacy is never viewed as a reward for the danna’s financial support.
While Geisha are free to pursue personal relationships, such relationships are chosen carefully and unlikely to be casual.

~*~Season 1: Lesson 4~*~

ADDICTION
My voice is gone
My brain has stopped
You make my heart tremble

You steal my breath
I burn inside
I can’t get enough of you

I can’t stay away
I need more everyday
I think I’m addicted
Your love is just like a drug

Midterms came and went, and soon the school was abuzz by the chattering of the coaches, jocks and their fans as the interschool sports tournaments got underway for the next two months.
None of it was enough to keep Seto’s attention.

“Why would he be interested in that?” the brunet wondered to himself. His spies had reported that Gozaburo was keeping tabs on his activities at the Kame Sake Ryotei. His personal life had never concerned the tycoon before, just so long as anything deviant was kept out of the public eye. One couldn’t get much more secretive than a well-established ryotei.

The Kaiba heir ignored the steady droning of the teacher and waited for the bell to announce the end of it all. It was Saturday, so they only had to stay until lunch. Normally, he used the time to get more work for Kaiba Corp. completed, but he needed to get out and physically investigate a few things.

He wasn’t the only one who wasn’t paying the instructor any mind. Yugi and his friends were whispering to each other. From the sharp syllables and the fierceness of their body language like bees in a bottle, it was an argument. Seto allowed it to distract him for a moment. A few glances were thrown his way, so the brunet could take a good guess at the subject matter. The Cheer Squad probably wasn’t too happy with how he treated them yesterday, there was also the fact they had learned that he regularly dated several at a time.

Seto shook his head. Those idiots didn’t understand his or Yugi’s world at all.

When his cell phone vibrated on his hip, he pulled it from the holster with a natural flourish. “Kaiba.”
Yugi subtly glanced over from the safety behind his textbook. He could see the brunet’s lips pull down at the corners as he listened to the person on the other side of the line. It was then that the tall male closed his laptop, slipped it into its steel briefcase then stood up. Purple eyes tracked the lean figure as he left, meeting blue for a moment before they disappeared.

Yugi found himself hoping that there was nothing seriously wrong, and if things went well, that Seto would visit him at the ryotei to celebrate. The boy sighed and lightly hit himself on the head. He had to remind himself that Seto wasn’t like the other customers. He wasn’t going to keep spending time there on a whim.

“—gi? Hey, Yug!” Jounouchi whispered fiercely.
“Oh, I’m sorry. What was that?”
“We were asking if you can hang out today,” Anzu helpfully filled in. “You don’t work weekends, right?”
“That’s right. Sure, I’ll hang out.”

Yugi smiled brightly as they continued gossiping until the bell rang. He liked hanging out with his new friends. It allowed him to see and experience how normal teenagers spent their days. But at the same time, he was a little bored.
The banter exchange wasn’t on the same level he had been taught to entertain the guests with. What his friends spoke often was often directionless, of little consequence, and lacked all form of art. They spoke without thought of how they strung their words together, and as a result, it was a jumbled mess in meaning.
He would block out most of what was being said, only skimming for keywords to respond to.

“—karaoke?” Yugi started paying attention again.
“Nah,” said Honda, “we did that just a couple days ago.”
“How about the game shop?” Jounouchi suggested with a grin.
“Oh yeah! Ninja Gaiden II is out!” Honda was pumped up to go now, as Yugi knew Jounouchi knew his best friend would be. Yugi noticed that Jounouchi would steer the brunet towards things they both liked, knowing Honda would get it and share. It was an ingenious form of manipulation.
“The new dancing game is out too,” Anzu added. There was nothing the perky brunette loved more than dancing.
Yugi smiled. “It sounds like fun. Let’s go.”

Dark Crown was famous for its variety of mainstream and unique games. It was a direct competitor of both Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corporation, the two largest gaming companies in the Eastern World. The Tokyo Branch was run by the Head’s son Otogi Ryuji, a business and gaming genius.

Otogi was tall and lean like a ballet dancer. He was handsome with fine features, sharp emerald eyes, a roguish smile, and long black hair that was softer than velvet. He was also an excellent conversationalist, a loyal friend, and more charming than a prince.

Yugi sought him out and smiled brightly when he located the other teen. “There you are, Ryuji-kun.”
“Yugi!” The striking young man smiled and took long strides to Yugi, the d6 earring in his left ear swinging on its chain with every step. “You should have told me you were coming. I would have had dinner prepared for us.”
“I came with classmates at the spur of the moment. I must say this red Armani suit looks dashing on you. It’s new, isn’t it?” Ryuji grinned and winked.
“You know it is. How about after I finish business up here I take you out on a date? Kamisama no Puzzle is out in theaters now.” Yugi chuckled.
“I’m sorry, Ryuji-kun, but no. It would be rude of me to leave my friends.”

Otogi sighed. “You always say no. But probability says if I ask often enough you’ll say yes, eventually.”
“Ryuji-kun...”
“I have to go now, but I’ll see you at the usual time and day at the ryotei, okay?”
“Of course, I always look forward to your visits.”

Yugi watched his old friend enter a closed off hallway, then had his attention snatched up by Jounouchi. “Hey, Yug! Where were you? You find what you want?” The blond jogged through the aisles with Anzu and Honda close behind him, each holding a game ready to be bought.
“Oh, I was visiting Ryuji-kun.”
“Ryuji? You mean Otogi Ryuji? You know him?!” Honda shouted in surprise.
“Yes, we’re childhood friends. Otogi-san was my mother’s danna before she retired. They remained friends, so we grew up together.”

“He was her danna?” Anzu asked in confusion.
“Yes. Sometimes a man and a Geisha will become close, and the man will wish to shower the Geisha in gifts and to assist her in her financial needs. It is an honor.”
“How interesting,” she commented.

Yugi smiled. “Let’s pay for these and go.”

The sun was casting a glorious sheet of red and orange upon the city when Yugi decided to separate from his friends. They had wanted him to play more games with them, but the small teen claimed fatigue and left.

Yugi really had intended to go home, but he didn’t feel ready to return to the world of the Kame Sake Ryotei yet. He wouldn’t be forced to work, but he knew if he went there now that his mind would be stuck on his friend Otogi, and he didn’t want to contemplate too deeply on that

Otogi was a good friend, better than what most can hope for. He had always supported Yugi, given him a shoulder to cry on when he had been bullied and a strong back to help carry his burdens. But he couldn’t see the other teenager as a romantic interest, and that made Yugi feel guilty, because he knew Otogi deserved it. Especially because...

He shook his head. “No, I told myself I wasn’t going to think about that. It will do me no good.”
Especially because Yugi did feel that way for someone he had only known a short while.

A poster caught his attention. “Oh... I wonder if he’d like a movie like that?” the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to find out. A smile graced his lips. “Why not?” He caught a bus uptown to the Kaiba Corporation.

Seto wanted to shoot somebody, particularly the head of accounting who wouldn’t shut up, but that wasn’t a recommended course of action. He wanted to go home and relax with a stiff drink. For a moment his mind fluttered to the Kame Sake Ryotei. It was quiet and had several high-quality alcohols to choose from. There was also the matter of Yugi... Was his petite classmate available tonight?

Seto felt the need to hit himself, but he resisted the immature urge and settled for shaking the bangs from his eyes instead. “I’m done for the day,” he announced to his secretary as he pulled on his suit jacket.
“Have a good evening, Kaiba-sama.”
“Same to you,” he responded automatically. Five minutes saw him outside and coming to an abrupt halt.

Yugi smiled at the surprised look on Seto’s face when the brunet spotted him. “Muto?”
“I don’t work today. Are you busy?”
“I’m free.”
“Good.” Yugi wrapped his arm around one of Seto’s. “Aibou is out. Let’s go see it.”
“Aibou?”
“Yes, Aibou.”

As unexpected as the visit was, Seto couldn’t say he was displeased. He escorted the boy to his waiting limo and ordered the driver to take them to the theater. Then he called Mokuba to let him know he wouldn’t be home for dinner. The boy would tease him for it later when he found out why, but the warm weight on his arm was worth it.

~*~

AFTER NOTES: “Kamisama no Puzzle” and “Aibou” really are movies currently playing in Japan. XD I have no idea what they’re about.
Otogi’s image song is “Everything You Want” by Vertical Horizon. I feel sorry for him. *sweatdrops*
