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.

Hoh... I wouldn't have a clue. I'm more prone to hurting people than taking pain.

[He's so honest about his villainy. ...just don't think too hard about that statement, because they were just talking about masochism, after all. There's no mind-bleach here.]

Maybe I should check out your soul and see what shape it takes~... care to put the Ring on and find out?

[Just gonna let him think about that for a moment before carrying on.]

It seems you're mistaken. I'm not Ryou, after all! My appetite's pretty ordinary.

I've noticed.

[Ugh, grumping again. And not going to think about that statement at all beyond that, because nope.]

...That's- [Why is that even the tiniest bit tempting? Kai frowns at him before tilting his head back to stare at the sky. Much less dangerous, that.] Not happening.

[Maybe so, but he's still not spending all his time in the kitchen.] So what kind of brownies? Double fudge, stuff with sprinkles...I've made ones with butterscotch topping before.

Hoh... [Kai had to take a moment to consider it there? How hilarious! Was he slipping a little?]

That's too bad! You might be able to turn its' power to your hand.

[...damn, those all sound delicious.]

...surprise me. Those all sound unbearably tasty.

[The answer to that might be yes, which Kai would rather not consider. Still just staring at the sky here, making a point not to look at the Creeper.]

Nah. I'll ask my mom when I see her. Or who knows, if this place could throw pictures from home at us, maybe I'll stumble on something more useful. [He knows his mom had kept a diary, once. He'd gotten peanut butter fingerprints on the cover...and his toy dragons taken away for a week when she'd caught him pulling it out of the nightstand. Not that he's sure he could trust something like that anyway, coming from here.]

They are.

[Kai finally looks at him, grinning.] Especially when you just combine all three into one mess. Did that once, it was awesome.

Would you really trust something... you just found in a place like this?

[Something more useful, huh... He doubts this place is kind enough for that.]

...heheheh... That sounds like a terrible, wonderful thing, and I would like to try that sometime.
