The faintest of warm Eastern currents
Calmy sitting cross-legged on his bamboo-mat, Fukuda-san focused on the rapidly drawing closer steps which were racing up the stairs. Smiling, he said:
"You are late, Katsuya. Which in itself is unusual. But at least, you made it."
Panting, the blond kneeled down next to him, choking out between gulping breaths:
"I-I'm sorry-huff-sensei-huh-I got-huh-held up-huhh!"
Fukuda-san's smile grew wider and softer.
"I see, you have been with a woman, haven't you?"
To his credit, Katsuya didn't face-fault all the way but stopped himself short before connecting with the floor.
"How-but-who-whe-how-and-?" he stuttered, entirely flabberghasted.
Inhaling deeply, Fukuda-san let out a small, contented sigh and explained:
"Despite the fact that you had the decency of cleansing yourself after your..intimate encounter, the faint smell of her perfume still lingers in your hair and robes, even though it is barely detectable."
Katsuya blinked a few times, then muttered:
"I got lipstick all over my face, right?"
"Particularly your neck", chuckled Fukuda-san, even as Katsuya wiped off the last traces of his romantic adventure.

Jounouchi-san silently turned another page of the contract.
Whoever wrote this piece of ownership reglement and refundal obligations, was either a genius -or the most god-forsaken, fucked-up bastard to ever walk the earth.
Or, maybe, a brilliant combination of both.
Jounouchi-san sighed inwardly, although his face and pose gave away nothing.
The whole deal was a bloody mine-field, freckled with clauses and restrictions on every second line. Given, there was a tiny loophole in it as well, and to a counselor with less experience, it would have been an open invitation.
To him, however, it screamed "Trap!" in capital red letters.
It was, to say it out loud, an insult.
He reread the whole contract again, carefully, acribic, before setting it back on the table and adjusting his glasses.
"Well, the obligation and refund restriction is not bad, but taken as whole, this contract is inacceptable. I am sorry, but if we want to make this deal happen, we will have to work out the details again."
"Oh, and why is that? requested his opposite, and Jounouchi-san began to indicate his business partner the multiple objections he had to make.
Kaiba only listened with half an ear, his focus almost completely on the middle-aged man leaning across the table.
He couldn't believe that the mutt's father happened to be such a brilliant manager..then again, it would explain how the mutt could have tricked both him and the lawyer of the Big Five.
It was also obvious, from whom Jou had the broad shoulders and brown eyes, although
Jounouchi-san had dark hair.
"..so, basically, would mean a five-percent mortgage for each of us, which is barely worth the risk. "Besides," Jounouchi-san locked eyes with Seto, who kept silent,
"you will have to discuss this particular point with your counselor. I simply can not believe it is in any of your interest to give us all joint assets without demanding a refund of at least thirty-eight percent, ne?"
Several gasps could be heard around the table, as those words were uttered.
The joint asset clause had been a test, Kaiba's way to mock his business partner.
And Jounouchi-san had thrown the insult right back into Seto's face.
A few moments, everything and everyone was perfectly still, and then Kaiba have an amused snort.
"I am glad, you detected this faux-pas, it really wouldn't have been to any benefit of the Kaiba Corp, if we would have stumbled over something so..trivial."
He rose, indicating that the meeting was over and, shaking hands with Ogawa-san and Jounouchi, added:
"Tell you what, I have my lawyer sent over tomorrow, so you can work out whatever meets your displeasure. Gentlemen," he gave both a curt nod, before turning towards
the door, "it was a pleasure making business with you."
One by one, they said their farewells and poured out of the large office.
Seto gave his staff a sign, that he would be catching up with them later and waited until everybody was out of earshot, before chasing after Jounouchi-san.
Once he caught up with him, Kaiba fell in step with the elder man.
Finally, the CEO broke the silence.
"I believe,I know your son, Jounouchi-san. His name is Katsuya if I'm correct, ne?"
The blond's father gave the shorter brunet a quick glance, before answering with a simple
"indeed."
Smirking, Kaiba continued:
"Funny, how things come to happen: I am his classmate, and at the same time making multi-million
deals with his father."
"Yes, fate tends to work in the strangest of ways."
Again, Kaiba smirked as they reached the elevators, and he pressed the 'down' button before hushing:
"It does, especially if it comes to showing the different faces a person's got. So tell me, Jounouchi-san, how are your son's bruises healing?"
The glance the elder man gave him, as they entered the steel cabin, was vacant and cold, and for a second, Kaiba shivered inwardly.
Then the doors slid closed and Jounouchi-san replied:
"I am certain, I have no idea what you are referring to, Kaiba-san."
Seto gave a toothy grin, very much like a shark's.
"Well, you understand that we have gym at school, and well, in the men's dressroom, I couldn't help but notice those..scars on young Katsuya's arms and body. He always claims to have gotten into a fight with some street thugs or being mugged and robbed, but I have been into enough such fights myself, to know that those bruises are not from an every-day rumble, but from physical..let's say, tutoring?"
A loud 'ding' announced their arrival on the ground floor and Jounouchi-san turned once more to Kaiba:
"I'll be expecting your lawyer to call tomorrow before lunchtime, Kaiba-san. Good bye."
"Sayonara."
'You fool', thought Seto, 'you think, you can evade me that easily? Just wait, I will make sure, I'll have my revenge, one way or another.'
