Sorry for my absence as of late. I've been rather busy trying to keep up with some coding work that I fell behind on during my...brief illness. My apologies to those I have neglected to get back to in an orderly fashion, but I will be away for another week or so on a trip with Mokuba and therefore any more replies will be put on hold until further notice.
So again, my apologies.

Seto returns his stare to his now empty tea cup, letting his eyes fall shut as he sighs tiredly, leaning back into his chair. “Well I figured you might have more insight into what we’re supposed to do. Like…do we just meet up every now and then for whatever we want to do and…that’s it or…” Seto sighs, obviously rather stressed about the whole situation. “But I guess you’re right. We can just go one bit at a time.” Smiling slightly, he again focuses his attention on her, the touch to his hand reassuring and calming him. At least she had some faith in him. “So where from here? I’m not letting you walk home. You can stay in one of the guest rooms overnight if you want.” Letting his hand linger beneath her fingers a moment as he stands, deciding he’s probably ready for bed. “I’m most likely going to try and sleep, get rid of this…cold or whatever.”
“Ah? Well I’ve never really been in a relationship before, you know. A few dates sure, but…” She shrugs, ”Besides, I think each relationship is different?” She smiles at him, looking a bit thoughtful, “let’s just make it tomorrow and see what happens as it happens? I think if we force it, it wont work.” She pauses and watches him, trying to read what he was thinking from his expression. With a light sigh, she nodded her head and rose to her feet as well “If it is all right with you, I’ll stay the night. And I think that’s a good idea. You need to rest,” She frowns slightly in worry, hoping it was something that would pass quickly.
Seto was honestly a little surprised. "No? Huh. No offense, but I'd have thought you'd have a little more experience with this." But he nods, understanding. She had a point. And it's not like they were incapable of figuring such things out. "I agree. We'll just...see how things go." Nodding in approval, he meanders towards the kitchen doorway, pausing to wait for her to follow. "It's perfectly fine with me. Not like we're in shortage of any space, you know." Laughing softly he nods once more, leading her towards the stairs so they could get some sleep. "I'll be good as new tomorrow morning, I'm sure."

“You shouldn’t have come here, Kaiba,” Yami hissed through his teeth. “You should have stayed away.”
Since he was released from the Sennen Puzzle, Yami had only met two Kaibas. One was of his own time and the other was not. He hadn’t spoken to either Kaiba as much. It would have stayed that way if one of the Kaibas hadn’t hit his other self with a metal briefcase. The Kaiba had taken off before he could stop him. Yami was close to catching him. Soon, the true game would start. Right now though…he wouldn’t be too fond of any Kaiba.
Yami’s eyes thinned and he crossed his arms over his chest. It was the other’s choice whether he would stay or leave. However, it would be best if he left. Yami wasn’t willing to spare any Kaiba, be they innocent or not.
"I'm pretty sure I can come and go when and where I please, Yugi." Seto snorted, not amused by his rival's tone or attitude. Something seemed off about him though. Sure Yugi's "other self" could be a little intimidating at times, but this was more than just him having a bad day. Or did he finally lose a duel? Seto mused, smirking slightly. Regardless, Seto kept himself a decent distance away, sensing there was a dangerous feel in the air. He couldn't properly judge whether or not he should press his luck today... Leaning back against a wall and mirroring the other's body language, he waited for Yami's reaction, arms crossed against his chest a little tighter than usual.
“Well things change, apparently.” Seto takes another sip of his tea, allowing himself to think for a moment. What was he going to do? He’d grown up much too quickly, and wasn’t as ‘in the loop’ about things most persons his age were. School was merely a distraction from his work, and he’d no time nor concern for friendships, let alone dating. He gave Ishizu a nod in reply, and cleared his throat, his cheeks returning to their normal pale colour as he took a deep breath for focus.
“I am quite sure, Ishizu.” Feeling a faint flicker of heat across his cheeks once again he willed himself to calm down so he could think more clearly. “Like I said, I merely have a cold.” He pauses, before looking back to her. “So…I’m not entirely sure what we’re supposed to do.” Seto’s voice softens, giving her a genuinely curious look. “I don’t want to screw anything up so…”
“Apparently,” She laughs lightly, a smile forming across her lips. Ishizu continues to study him, thinking herself. She had never been in a proper relationship before; especially considering most of her life was lived underground. She had been on a few dates, but nothing that went any farther then that. Her twitch slightly in acknowledgement of his nod, and she makes a small hum like noise as the conversation moves on.
Ishizu can’t help but laugh at the return of his blush - but she chooses to drop it instead. Even though he would most certainly deny it, she knew it was true. “I do suppose that is true,” She trails off and blinks in surprise at his change of tone; she hadn’t expected it. “Ah, well…” She smiles warmly, reaching across the counter to gently press her fingers to the back of his hand, “to be honest, I don’t know either but…I think we should just take things as they come? One step at a time? And,” She laughs lightly, “I really don’t think you’ll screw anything up, Seto.”
Seto returns his stare to his now empty tea cup, letting his eyes fall shut as he sighs tiredly, leaning back into his chair. "Well I figured you might have more insight into what we're supposed to do. Like...do we just meet up every now and then for whatever we want to do and...that's it or..."

"I'm most likely going to try and sleep, get rid of this...cold or whatever."

"Oh just wonderful. The puppy's here too." Seto rolled his eyes, trying not to give the other duelist much attention.

"Hmph. Not another one of you magicians..." Seto scoffed, obviously irritated that another ancient Egyptian had found their way to him. "If I recall correctly, you're Mana's teacher, right?"
*she pauses to take a sip of her tea, and judging that it had steeped enough, removed the tea bag* Well no. Which is why I had to ask. And all things considering, it sounded like maybe you would. *she pauses, looking down at the tea in her hands before glancing up at him* Mmm. Not particularly, no. *she raises her eye brow, glancing at him* Why? Do you wish to?
*she nods, balancing her cup in her palm thoughtfully* I didn’t think you would. And you’ve said that *she glances up at him, and smiles in amusement* Oh? Are you blushing?
He takes a sip of his tea, nodding as he swallows the liquid before speaking again. “I have no intentions of jumping so far ahead. I did not from the start, either.” Frowning, he takes another sip of his tea, wrapping both hands around the cup and sulking a little. If he was going to to this he wanted to do it right. No mistakes. Which meant slow to start, giving him time to figure out exactly what he was even supposed to be doing. “No. I do not.” “I am glad for that..” He pauses, his frown souring even moreso as she questions him. “I am not blushing! So get that cheshire grin off your face…” Angry with himself, he takes another sip of tea, glaring into the cup as he tries to calm himself down.
She nods, and places her cup of tea down. “To be honest, I really didn’t think you would. Ever.” Ishizu can’t help but allow a smirk to play across her lips as she gives him a look. “We can just see how it goes, I suppose.”
“Oh Yes?” She grins again, tapping a nail to the side of her cup. “Are you sure about that, Seto? I think you’re blushing. You certainly do look like you are~” She laughs at his reaction, pausing in her motion of tapping at the cup, “Hmm~?”

"So...I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to do." Seto's voice softens, giving her a genuinely curious look. "I don't want to screw anything up so..."
*she nods, and glances back to him* I do. And thank you, again. *she reaches up, wrapping her hands around the warm cup sitting in front of her* You… *she laughs, and shakes her head* You don’t even get it. Then I suppose you weren’t really implying what I thought you were there, hmmm? And I am aware of all that, Seto.
*she glances back at him, a blush across her cheeks as well* That’s what I said, wasn’t it? Unless you want me to change my mind? *she narrows her eyes slightly*
-He takes his own cup of tea, letting it sit a little longer to his liking.- Of course. -He frowns, knowing well what she meant now.- Really? You’d think I would jump so hastily into such things? You wound me, Ishizu. -He shakes his head a little and sighs.- Unless you’re interested in advancing the relationship so quickly?
Mm. -He takes a sip of his tea, trying to collect himself a bit more.- I would rather you not change your mind. I’m rather interested in how this will go.
*she pauses to take a sip of her tea, and judging that it had steeped enough, removed the tea bag* Well no. Which is why I had to ask. And all things considering, it sounded like maybe you would. *she pauses, looking down at the tea in her hands before glancing up at him* Mmm.

He pauses, his frown souring even moreso as she questions him. "I am not blushing! So get that cheshire grin off your face..." Angry with himself, he takes another sip of tea, glaring into the cup as he tries to calm himself down.
I-I guess so. I still should have been able to help it. *she frowns* And…Mm. If you say so…? *she steps back herself, crossing her arms, feeling strangely vulnerable* Ah? I see. Well…thank you then.
It’s okay, Ishizu. -He smiles a tiny bit, holding back his laughter. She seemed rather upset with herself for allowing such behaviour. It amused him.- Mm? You’re…welcome? I figured you would rather revert to normal than continue acting like that. Although it was really somewhat amusing.
Okay…? *she frowns, not liking the tone of his voice nor the smile that obviously said he was amused* Mmm. Of course I would. That behavior is…really quite unacceptable. *she narrows her eyes, giving him a look* Amusing? Do tell me how exactly it is amusing?
Ah? -He laughs a little, unable to restrain himself any longer.- It was just...interesting to see you act in such a manner is all. I didn't think you could get like that unless you were drunk or something. It was quite unlike you and quite frankly caught me off guard at first. -Smiling a little, he just shrugs.-
Thank you. *she leans back in the chair she had sat in, and patiently waits* I suppose there isn’t anything. I just feel awkward not doing anything, is all. *she raises an eye brow, returning the look he gave her* I guess it is a long walk…And if you couldn’t drive here to begin with, what makes you think I’d let you drive yourself home? *she frowns* And…stay here? *she gives him a look, both eyebrows raised* Whatever are you implying, Seto?
Ah. *she glances away again, purposely avoiding any eye contact, and crosses her arms* Well. I suppose it is.
Not a problem. -He tilts his head curiously, and smirks again.- Do you? I suppose I can understand that, but at the moment, you’re a guest here, so just sit and enjoy it. -He frowns a little.- What do you mean what am I implying? I’m implying that I’m in no condition to drive anyone anyplace, and you have no mode of transportation, therefore it would be simpler for both of us if you simply stayed the night. There’s no shortage of extra room here, so it’s not like you’re being a bother.
Oh? -His eyes widen, a light blush dusting his cheeks. He wasn’t expecting this at all. Well, maybe he was anticipating her agreement, but not the way she gave it. She seemed…almost shy about it.- So you’ll really be my girlfriend.
*she nods, and glances back to him* I do. And thank you, again. *she reaches up, wrapping her hands around the warm cup sitting in front of her* You… *she laughs, and shakes her head* You don’t even get it. Then I suppose you weren’t really implying what I thought you were there, hmmm? And I am aware of all that, Seto.

Mm. -He takes a sip of his tea, trying to collect himself a bit more.- I would rather you not change your mind. I'm rather interested in how this will go.
*she catches her breath, taking the moment to gain her bearings. That was…* I-It’s fine. *lets out a shaky breath, glancing away* I…kind of asked for it. *shifts a bit, not entirely sure what she should do since they were still quite close, her one arm still around him* …
W-well it’s not entirely your fault, that ‘magic anon’ or whatever m-made you act differently. So don’t worry about it. -He stares at her a moment, catching his own breath. Suddenly realising the positioning of his hand, he releases her, taking a small step back.- I simply kissed you to break…whatever they did to you.
I-I guess so. I still should have been able to help it. *she frowns* And…Mm. If you say so…? *she steps back herself, crossing her arms, feeling strangely vulnerable* Ah? I see. Well…thank you then.
It's okay, Ishizu. -He smiles a tiny bit, holding back his laughter. She seemed rather upset with herself for allowing such behaviour. It amused him.- Mm? You're...welcome? I figured you would rather revert to normal than continue acting like that. Although it was really somewhat amusing.
Mhmm. Which is why I’ll have to think about it. Since I’m not sure either. *she glances back at him, and studies the teas he pulled out* A herbal one will do. Anything without caffeine *she smiles in gratitude, noding her head* Can I help you at all, or…? Hm? Well, I do suppose that is true. I don’t know? I could walk…or something…? *she shrugs; at the moment, that was something unimportant*
Ah? I. I don’t know…? I just really wanted to know your intentions before I agreed… *she glances away, usually she was more composed then how she felt at the moment.*
Alright. -He nods, setting aside a couple tea bags for when the water was ready, and reached up into the cupboard for two cups.- Ah? What is there to help with? It’s just tea… -He gives her a mildly confused expression, smirking a bit as he rests the cups on the counter.- There is no way in hell you are walking all the way home from here. Not at night, and certainly not in the rain. I’ll give you a ride later, unless…unless you’d rather just stay here.
…before you agreed? -He laughs a little, not really believing her.- So it’s a yes either way? -Resting on his forearms, he leans towards her over the counter.- Or…?
Thank you. *she leans back in the chair she had sat in, and patiently waits* I suppose there isn’t anything. I just feel awkward not doing anything, is all. *she raises an eye brow, returning the look he gave her* I guess it is a long walk…And if you couldn’t drive here to begin with, what makes you think I’d let you drive yourself home? *she frowns* And…stay here? *she gives him a look, both eyebrows raised* Whatever are you implying, Seto?

I… *she slips her hand around and up his back pulling him to her, and returns the kiss*
-He rests his free hand on the small of her back, holding her close as he kisses her again for a moment or so. He then pulls back, blushing as he covers his mouth with the back of his hand.- S-sorry.
*she catches her breath, taking the moment to gain her bearings. That was…* I-It’s fine. *lets out a shaky breath, glancing away* I…kind of asked for it. *shifts a bit, not entirely sure what she should do since they were still quite close, her one arm still around him* …
W-well it's not entirely your fault, that 'magic anon' or whatever m-made you act differently. So don't worry about it. -He stares at her a moment, catching his own breath. Suddenly realising the positioning of his hand, he releases her, taking a small step back.- I simply kissed you to break...whatever they did to you.
Ah? Just…to decide how I’d want to deal with it concerning others? I don’t know. *she presses her lips together and continues to follow him* All right, thank you. And thats good *she laughs* Well…I suppose it would? I could always leave, of coures… *she frowns, and shrugs knowing she could always come back* All right. Ah. I suppose you do, don’t you?
Ah, I see. I don’t know how you would want to either. -He shrugs, pulling his tea kettle off the stove top to fill it with water.- Any particular type tea you’d rather have? Otherwise I’m just making green tea. -He pulls a few varieties of tea out for her to choose from, if she wanted. Chai, Earl Grey, and another few types of various herbal teas.- I suppose you could, but we did take my car. So how are you getting back?
Mhmm. How much time do you need to make up your mind? -Glancing over his shoulder as he finished taking his ibuprofen, he gave her a look that could be construed as impatient.-
Mhmm. Which is why I’ll have to think about it. Since I’m not sure either. *she glances back at him, and studies the teas he pulled out* A herbal one will do. Anything without caffeine *she smiles in gratitude, noding her head* Can I help you at all, or…? Hm? Well, I do suppose that is true. I don’t know? I could walk…or something…? *she shrugs; at the moment, that was something unimportant*
Ah? I. I don’t know…? I just really wanted to know your intentions before I agreed… *she glances away, usually she was more composed then how she felt at the moment.*

...before you agreed? -He laughs a little, not really believing her.- So it's a yes either way? -Resting on his forearms, he leans towards her over the counter.- Or...?
You do know I mean what I would do with it regarding others…? *she shrugs and slips inside, nodding thanks as she enters* Ah? I suppose that’s true…*she goes silent in thought, pondering over her options and what he’s told her*
*Ishizu hands him her coat, and nods* Ah? Tea would be lovely, thank you. And that’s probably a good idea. Perhaps you should be resting now, instead of…
Hmm? I suppose I don’t? If you’d be so kind as to enlighten me? -He hangs up Ishizu’s coat, nodding as she replies.- I’ll get some water started then. Ah? I will soon enough. It would be really rude of me to take a nap while you’re here, wouldn’t it? -He shrugs, making his way to the kitchen after slipping his shoes off.- I’ll just take something for now. Besides, I need an answer from you.

Mhmm. How much time do you need to make up your mind? -Glancing over his shoulder as he finished taking his ibuprofen, he gave her a look that could be construed as impatient.-
Mhmmm. *she smiles, her fingers moving along his waist, to the buttons of his pants, her fingers hooking themselves there, thumb tapping against the metal* Mmm Nothing~? What do you think I’m doing~?
That is certainly not nothing, I’ll tell you that much! -He blushes, really not sure how to react to this sudden change in her attitude…wait! He knew how to fix this. Taking slight advantage of the situation and her demeanor, he quickly closed the gap between them, pressing a kiss against her lips.- …..
I… *she slips her hand around and up his back pulling him to her, and returns the kiss*
-He rests his free hand on the small of her back, holding her close as he kisses her again for a moment or so. He then pulls back, blushing as he covers his mouth with the back of his hand.- S-sorry.
Ah? Well I meant like that…? I don’t know. *she smiles slightly, and shrugs* I would have to think on it, honestly. Mmm? Ah, it does….*she nods* That sounds like a good idea.
*she follows behind, silently, listening* Ah…? I suppose so. And because you said it’s an experiment. You made it sound like something you don’t care about from the start. If you don’t care about it, how are you to take it seriously?
Ah? Well you can think on it, if you want. -He opens the door, holding it ajar for her.- I take my experiments quite seriously, if you haven’t noticed. If I didn’t take experiments seriously, I wouldn’t be where I am now, now would I?
-Once inside, he slips his coat off, hanging it up on the hook beside the door, and offers to take Ishizu’s.- Do you want anything? Tea, coffee? I’m going to take something for my headache…
You do know I mean what I would do with it regarding others…? *she shrugs and slips inside, nodding thanks as she enters* Ah? I suppose that’s true…*she goes silent in thought, pondering over her options and what he’s told her*
