I don't give anything away. Either you find something worth offering, you do something worthy of reward, or you owe me a favour for the future.

[It's a simple enough explanation. His power's ancient, and he's petty. Grasping the Ring, he holds it up.]

Here. Put your hand on this. I'll show you what I'm talking about.

[He'll lower the guards on it... so that Kai can feel the boundless darkness within it. The darkness that has been his home for so long. And in his world, darkness isn't just the absence of light... it's pure, dangerous, power. Worse yet, the Ring has been tainted by the hatred of its' original inhabitants. That darkness is the kind that seeps into you like a poison, corrupting you little by little. It's everything Kai's been warned about.]

Selling my soul to the devil, huh?

[It's said calmly, but his heart's about to pound through his chest. He needs to back out of this right the hell now. 'Ha ha, just kidding, can't believe you fell for that, the look on your face'. Simple.

Except not really. Part of him wants to at least know what it feels like; it's the same part that wanted to know how much the Heartless would listen to him if he called them. Kai tilts his head, watching Bakura silently before he sets the book aside. Scooting closer, his hand hovers over the Ring. So easy to just touch it. Well...not like there's much of a reason not to anymore. His fingers close around it, a jolt going through him as his Darkness reacts to what he's feeling. Oh. Oh, this is bad. This is like every nightmare he's ever had, every wound he's ever gotten in a fight, every terrible thing he's ever done rolled up into one great freezing clusterfuck.

Kai's eyes widen, and his Darkness shoves out at the Ring itself, knocking him back a bit. He sprawls out on the floor, letting out a pained laugh.]

Ha, no thanks, I don't think mine approves...

[By the fierce ache starting up in his chest, that's not the only thing not happy with this.]

Damn...lesson's done for today, get out.

[Seriously Bakura, get out before you see shit he'd rather you never did.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He recoils, shocked. That was a reaction he didn't expect. Though it's not terribly surprising. Either Kai's fear, or his Darkness, disapprove of the Ring itself. Poor thing... he looks stunned as hell. For once, he doesn't argue, just getting up and heading for the door.]

Yes, yes...

[The kid can compose himself and figure this shit out on his own. No sense in him hanging around while he's like this.]

[shadowscall]

[What, no teasing? No smart ass comments? That alone would shock Kai if he were in the mood for it. As it is, he scrambles to his feet as soon as Bakura's out the door, locking it.]

That was so stupid.

[And painful. Kai winces, leaning against the door as his hand goes up to his chest, fingers pressing against it. It feels cold again, the same sharp coldness he'd felt when those claws had been-

Letting out a shuddering breath, he pushes away from the door and stumbles into the bedroom. He's going to need at least two potions for this one.]
