Ah, yup. Yuugi recognized that flash of anger in his eyes. It was about time he uh. Backed up.

Stood off to the side.

"You leave without much explanation, and then the next day I get a call from the last person I'd expect finding you as a crumpled mess in the mountains. He gave up his university entrance exam to help me get you situated and to make sure you didn't die. If he hadn't been there at point of impact, then you would have died alone and I would have had to bury you instead of bringing you to the hospital."

He gave up so much. They all did, just to make sure things kept running.

"And then I find your contingency plans. You planned on dying. You were ready to die, and for what?

"Yuugi and Isono were the only ones there to help me pick up the pieces and keep things running while you were out. When I had to stay late in meetings? He was here, watching over you."

Clenched fists, clenched teeth.

Yuugi knew better than to try to comfort, instead watching quietly.

"When I cried, wondering if you'd ever wake again? He was there.

So if you have a problem with him being around or working for us, save it. You two might have your history, but I think giving him a paycheck is the least we can do for all he's done."
