5. Deceiving grace
The clock read 21. 57, when the doorbell chimed.
“Hn. He made it in time. Impressive. ”
Rushing down the dim-lit hall, Seto paused before the closed door. He listened intently, hearing soft, familiar curses coming from the other side.
Waiting another minute, the brunet finally decided to have pity with his visitor and opened.
“You’re punctual, I’ll give you that”, he smirked, letting his gaze wander over the soaked youth facing him.
“Yeah, well wandering through a raging storm does wonders to one’s walking speed” replied Jou dryly, as he attempted to enter. One long-fingered hand however, stopped him in his task.
“You are not to enter. Whatever you want to say, you can say here. ”
Loathing, hatred, anger, pain; fierce emotions were thrown back and forth via their eyes, until Jou shrugged.
“Yoroushii.* Well I...I came..uhmm, wait..ok, let’s try this again.”
Taking a deep breath, he stated:
“I did not come t’ say sorry, just that I’m understood. There’s no way or amount of apologizing that can make you -or me- forgive me for what I did. I don’t say that I don’t regret what happened, but…”
He shook his head.
“I’m not so stupid to think, that a few thousand gomen would cut it. Nor would a few billion.”
Throughout his speech, Seto’s expression had grown colder and fiercer, until he seemed to be the very center of the storm raging across the town. Crossing his arms, he glared at the slightly shorter blond.
“Then why bother coming, jakuusha#?”
Uncertainty hushed across Jou’s face before he answered:
“I..got an offer to make..My-my freedom for penance. For one week, seven days minimum, or as long as it takes until you’re fed up with me, I—I’ll be your willing slave. Anything goes, under two conditions. ”
Leaning against the door frame, Kaiba felt a strange sense of victory pass through him, but it was gone before he could really place it. Smirking, he grunted:
“This is the first time I have ever heard of slaves making the rules. Still, you managed to peak my interest. ”
All of a sudden, the mirth dropped from his face as cold, blue orbs pinned Jou down.
“What conditions?”
Gulping nervously, Jou squared his shoulders and rose one hand.
“First,” he counted off,” no dog names, collars or lashes of any kind. Ever. ”
Seto frowned, but nodded.
“Second,“ this time, he couldn’t help the sweat forming on his brow, ”whatever you choose to do, whatever happens, remains strictly within this mansion. Wakarimashita?”
The grin was as sharky as he had ever seen one, and Jou couldn’t shake the feeling of just having willingly traded himself over to the devil in person.
“Perfect.”

Speaking of sharks, anyone ever read ‘The mirror crack’d from side to side’ by Agatha Christie? In the movie, starring Lyz Taylor and Angela Lansbury, there’s that one scene where the reporter comments about the two rivaling divas’ meeting:
“I f you put the two of them in a pool with a shark, the shark is bound to have an identity crisis!”-I nearly fell off my sofa when I heard that!^^ lol
