Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You mean Hyoga?" Iori inquired needlessly. "That guy was assigned to being Ice's lover on Dee's orders. It was an attempt to keep Hyoga alive since he was, at one time, in the same situation as Seto Kaiba was in earlier this year."

Iori nodded, "That's it exactly. I also think that was in around the same time that Dee was getting really serious with Terry and now Dee is trying to make amends for her multiple lovers that were in her life. Myself included in that."

A smug look came across Iori's face when he added, "Andy was a big help to Dee in that aspect by hooking me up with Mai Shiranui. Andy was gay and he knew it, but he didn't want to upset Mai, so he gave Mai to me warning me to treat her right otherwise I am dead meat."

Shocked, Iori then began laughing even harder than he had moments before. Once he was finished laughing he said, "It's more like she took over. She keeps the place busy even when I am not around. Corrigan probably likes it at my castle more than his natural parents's place because it is Mai who keeps him busy and rewards him for a job well done. Plus the kid knows about punishment. Unlike what Dee and Terry could ever do for their child. I dunno if you noticed, Saya, but Corrigan has a streak of red in his hair, like my color red. He is also styling his hair like mine too."

Placing two fingers in his mouth, Iori whistled his usual boss-call. At once Corrigan appeared in front of the older man. "You wanted to see me, boss?" Corrigan asked.

Nodding, Iori replied, "Corey, this young lady is Saya. She hasn't seen you for a while and requested your presence. Now while I prepare the chair for a special journey for her and I to take to Azeroth, why don't you get Saya something to eat, okay?"

"Right this way, Saya," the young Bogard replied obediently.

"It should," Corrigan said, "At the same time my mom was upgrading her mansion, this place got an overhaul done to it. We even installed eruptor indicators throughout so that in the event that Mount Orochi forget whose its boss again, the whole castle will know right away and long enough for everyone to evacuate safely and make plans. Oh, and don't mind the swampert. He's here because he's hungry. Just another patron like yourself. He may stink, but then again who doesn't on some level?"

After seating Saya, Corrigan went onto his usual waiter routine by asking her what will she have to eat.

"Coming right up," Corrigan replied, smiling, then he disappeared behind a door that led to the kitchen. He told Mai the order Saya had and waited until it was ready.

5 minutes later, Corrigan brought the order to Saya's table. "One Orochi Parfait as ordered."

Bowing respectfully, Corrigan left to tend to the other tables as was his job. Meanwhile, Iori had found where Corrigan had put Saya, thus programmed that chair's number for the trip that he (Iori) and Saya were going to undertake.

After programming the chair, Iori made for himself a heaping pile of spaghetti with tyranno balls and orochi spicy tomato sauce. He then sat down at the same table as Saya was at and began eating. Through his meal, Iori asked Saya, "So, what did you think of young Corrigan? Do you see what I meant that he is trying to impress me?"
