It appeared he may have just wandered into a rabbithole, a hole deeper than he could possibly have anticipated. And to think, he had yet to run into any of those rare hunters, personally.
Kaiba quietly listened and kept his gaze fixated upon Yugi, the entire time he tried to recover. He may be listening to it, but his mind wasn’t quite registering the things his classmate was saying. The name Pandora… He doesn’t recall seeing it, in any of his documents or sign up lists to his competition. Clearly, he may have underestimated those rare hunters yet again.
“Well, you’re not injured right? You don’t need a trip to the hospital. You can still participate in the tournament, correct?” The brunette immediately responded when the other stopped talking. “You’re not dropping out of this, Yugi. Don’t you dare do that. We’ve got a duel waiting for us, in the near future.” At least with those words, he made it very clear he had no intentions of pulling him into one, for now.
“My team is looking into it, I’ll get a report on the situation later. How many map cards do you have so far? I imagine you must be close to achieving the required number.”
At least Kaiba reacted exactly the way Yugi had expected. He shot the man a nasty look at his question about his physical injury. “This is not about my physical wellbeing!” Yugi raised his voice so rarely, some people must be surprised that he was capable of shout at all. “I was scared, Kaiba! It was either me losing my legs or the man losing his legs right in front of my eyes!”
He knew Kaiba had the empathy of a casket, but Yugi had no patience for it right now. Usually he adapted to it and lowered his expectations but what he needed right now was proper comfort and at this point he was more likely to receive it from Mokuba, who was staring at him wide-eyed a few feet away, rather than from Kaiba.
At least he believed Yugi. Having his team investigate was a good start. Pandora may be gone but the hellish contraptions were still in the room and proof enough. He took another deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Shouting at Kaiba wasn’t going to help and he also didn’t like the other seeing him so vulnerable.
“I have two so far. No rest for the wicked though. Just leave me be and I’ll go collect the rest so that we can have our duel.” At least on this the two of them agreed, they both looked forward to the duel, even though Yugi knew that Atem was going to take over at some point as he usually did.
