'Aww, no hello? How rude...' Schuldig teleported to behind one of the burned trees. 'Been too long, hasn't it? We've both had some time to get busy...'

He latched onto Sousuke's mind, noting he'd spent most of his time with his god - that Eros kid! Hah! What a laugh. Maybe next time he wanted to see the young man he'd use that connection instead of the kid. 'Maybe if you'd kept as close an eye on your new friends as on that little dog, little Goten wouldn't have gotten hurt.'

Schuldig stepped out from behind the tree then, and held tight to Sousuke's mind. This was far less about keeping Sousuke pinned to one spot this time -- Schuldig was counting on pure shock to do that this time -- and more about showing him a memory of what he'd done: how he'd hurt innocents, how he'd hurt the boy himself by making him fall, how he'd controlled Goten's body as he'd done to Sousuke, how he'd revealed that he would hurt Sousuke, and then how the light dimmed from Goten's eyes while Schuldig started to wreck the boy's mind from inside out, causing external bleeding. He cut it off there though.

'So here's my suggestion,' Schuldig began in Sousuke's mind with thinly veiled sadistic mirth. 'You help me out for maybe an hour or two, I don't go back and finish the job on the kid.'
