[Cue the staring. And then the giggles. Kai coughs suddenly, turning his attention to the dogs long enough that he doesn't outright start cackling. Geeze, he's beginning to be easily amused. Oh, wait.]

Mine either, but I used to read a lot of weird stuff when I was a kid, so it's not a foreign concept. ['Stole creepy books out of the trunk under his mom's bed when she wasn't home', he means.]

I think I like you better when-

[Wait wait what. The end of the sentence disappears into oblivion at that, and Kai's expression goes from mild shock to anger. Son of-]

I knew I should've ki-

[Smacking himself in the forehead, he lets himself sprawl back onto the grass. No, no, no more insane villain funtimes, no. That doll's going to have a lot of pins in it tonight.]

...I'll make you one like mine, I'm going to be mutilating the one I've got.

[Bakura smirks a little when Kai starts giggling. Looks like the kid has a sense of humor after all! Wonders will never cease.]

It's not foreign to me too, but it's still like a fairy story. I don't think something like that could ever happen at home.

[He raises an eyebrow, first at the words, and then at the anger. Of course, Kai doesn't like the thief king, does he... Him hurting Ryou would be enough to make that worse. Heh.]

He's just a brat. Killing him wouldn't even be a challenge.

...I'll look forward to it. Ryou will like it too. It's a secret love of his.

[He got his mother's sense of humor, too. Thankfully it's not quite as...strange as her's could be.]

...Maybe for Halloween I'll dress up as Death for the Heartless. Robe and a Keyblade instead of a scythe.

[He actually sounds serious about that, but he's also still on his back staring balefully up at the sky. Killing the other idiot wouldn't have been a challenge in any case, but it's not something he's doing. Minding himself is something he's doing. He'd promised Karasu, hadn't he? And it wasn't as if he'd enjoyed all that power.

Much.

Kai lets out a sigh, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. Roll with it.]

Eh, I'm not going to bother with him unless something else happens. Then...I don't know. But the doll, yeah. Geeze, maybe I ought to make two so Ryou can have his own.

Haha... you're not really the tall, intimidating figure that death inspires.

[Bakura sounds amused.]

Feel free. But I warn you... Ryou doesn't feel vengeful towards anyone. So play it up as a toy.

Don't have to be tall to be intimidating. I understand my mom was pretty damn scary as a short stuff.

[She'd beat up any of the other kids that had given Geoffrey trouble, after all.]

I noticed that. He's a good kid. [Kai finally smiles, squirming around until he manages to sit back up.] You'll get pins with yours, he'll just get a weird plushie.

Your mother looks like the type that you don't want to cross.

[Huh... so Maya had been short? Photos couldn't tell that so easily.]

...

Yeah, I guess he is. Though I could think of a lot of other words to describe him.

Nope. She never had a problem throwing magic at someone if she thought they deserved it...sometimes if they didn't.

[Maya was actually only a half-inch shorter than Kai is now, but he tended to think of her as being smaller. Protective son thing, and all.]

They'd better be good words.

[Don't forget the flaming plushie, Bakura.]

What? Are you getting protective of my vessel, Kai? Don't tell me you're developing a motherly instinct towards him... You might share a hair colour, but that doesn't mean you're his parent!

Anyway, it depends on how you view 'em, doesn't it~?

What do you mean, getting? I always have been! [Aside from that little screw-up of his, oh yes.] No, just big brother.

[Ugh, maybe he should take Surge in now before they get into something. Magic being flung all over the courtyard, just what they need.]

I'm not sure I'm going to view a lot of things the same as you, no matter what it is.

Then, you know, you're my brother too if you're his~... are you willing to take on that yoke?

[He is a bastard and he knows it.]

I was thinking of 'soft' and 'vulnerable', with possibly 'naive' for a third.

[If Kai'd been eating one of those brownies, he would've choked. As it is, he pales slightly before glaring. Is he serious?]

...You're an ass.

[Oh good, those words he's okay with because they're actually fitting...even naive. But in a good way.]

Guess those aren't that bad.

Hoh... that's a scary face, Kai-kun! Are you telling me you're that unhappy with the idea? And I thought we were getting along so well!

[His shoulders shake and he sits back suddenly, throwing his head back with a peal of raucous laughter.]

HehehehehehAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

...You're epic levels of batshit insane, you know that, right?

[Kai just stares at him as he laughs, resisting the urge to scoot the hell away. Really, what was he thinking, voluntarily going for a visit?

Oh right, the innocent puppy.]

I'm not sure what I think about it. Exactly.

[Besides 'What the absolute hell']

Yeah, maybe. By human standards, I'm absolutely... beyond compare in terms of how insane I am, right?

[He grins a little, sitting back on his hands. Poor Kai~... he seems to unnerved.]

I'm joking, anyway. Regardless of the connection shared by me and my host, I don't consider myself kin to him.

Definitely.

I mean, even when my mom was at her worst I don't think she was as bad as you...not that I have first-hand experience, just stories I shouldn't know.

[He's not that unnerved. To prove it, he relaxes some, looking less like he wants to bolt and more like he's almost bored.]

Thank everything ever for that.

It's understandable. I've been existing immersed in darkness for three thousand years now. Nobody else could compare to my level.

But I haven't done anything all that bad here, right?

[He looks curious.]

I mean, seriously bad.

[Kai snickers suddenly. There's that random 'Darkside's foot to Bakura's face' image again.]

Well, maybe not here, or back home for you. There might be stuff in my world that could at least make you put some effort in. Maybe.

[At least he'd like to think so.]

Aw, fine, probably not.

[Seriously.]

Borrowing Ryou whenever the hell you want counts!

What? I meant in terms of crazy!

[He laughs. It's a poor joke, but fine. He'll be honest.]

Power-wise I'm actually only about bottom-rank. I'm no magician, you know. I can only really curse people and do some minor shit. I'm above normal human levels, but I'm still low-tier, for now.

[Eyebrow raise.]

I don't borrow, I steal.

[Snatching up a handful of grass, Kai considers tossing it at him just for a laugh, then decides against it. For the moment, anyway.]

Summoning monsters out of cards doesn't seem so minor. Makes me wish I could do that. Then again, bad idea. It'd probably eat me.

[Yeah, have one right back.]

Sorry, I should've been more specific. It sucks anyway!

Hoh... are you afraid? They can't disobey, you know! You're supplying them with form, so if you die, they return to the other world.

[He grins a little wickedly.]

Might wanna practice with low-rank cards first though. If you can even connect to the dark world at all.

[Jeez, you're still on this?!]

What do you want me do, ask permission?

I've been scarred enough, I'm not exactly fond of it. [Damn Heartless swarms. Kai snorts at that, tilting his head.] I held up pretty good in that bit of your shadow realm. Who knows.

[Of course he's still on this!]

It's a novel idea. Why don't you try it for a week?

[Geeze, he sounds like his mom trying to convince him to eat spinach.]

Who is?

[He rubs the scars on his cheek irritably.]

You surprised me there. Most humans would have suffocated. But I've never known a non-item wielder to make contact with the other world. Though I've never known one with magic before I came here, either. Heheh...

[Let it go, Kai, jeez.]

If you want me to do something for you, you should offer me something good for it. I'm not going to learn manners just for your sake.

Masochists? [Yes Kai, okay, stop being a smart ass. He grins, flicking the grass off his fingers and onto the ground.]

But are we sure I'm human? [Usually Kai gets pissed when that comment's made, but he seems more or less at ease with it since he's making it himself.]

How about a month's supply of Oreos? Naw...brownies?

[He's trying to bribe the Creeper into asking permission by offering food, THIS SHOULD WORK.]

Masochists like pain, but does that mean they like scars?

[That's a curious thought.]

You act pretty human to me. But I can't always tell!

[But the other part makes him pause. Hm... a month's supply of brownies, for a week of having manners? ...that doesn't sound too bad actually.]

...hoh... you make an interesting proposition.

[What Kai fails to have acknowledged, and the good point in his choice of offerings, is that Bakura is painfully hedonistic. Delicious things? Definitely worth the effort.]

Some of them might? I wouldn't know, not one of my interests.

[His are more tailored to driving people up walls when they annoy him, as Bakura is well aware.]

Eh, who knows. I'm starting to wonder, to be honest.

[That's a disturbing thing to admit, but it's not like he can call his mom and ask.]

Thought so. [Oh yay, he's caught his interest with goodies! ...Wait.]

I know how much you eat though, so I'm putting a limit on how much I bake you a day. Not going to spend all my time in the kitchen.
