the_campus | [MINGLE ] And many happy returns to you, Bakura!

...

[Spit poison? What kind of fucking flytraps do they have in the future?!]

It was a joke. You're supposed to give a girl flowers and chocolates as romantic gestures. But if you're going to destroy my gift, I might as well not bother!

[REALLY big ones.]

I...guess the idea of taking down a man-eating plant for me is kind of nice. In a stupid sort of way. But I'd rather you keep Ryou safe and just get me some broc flowers or something. Anything smaller then one of those things. You know how big those ugly things get.

...the hell is a broc flower? And I'm not about to get my host killed for the sake of hitting on you, regardless of the blatant niceness of your tits. Have a little more faith in me, won't you?

[Eyebrows raised, Sibyll opens her mouth as if to say something, then closes it again. Okay, despite how he looked, Ryou was a teenage boy. Nearly even an adult. And the spirit himself was thousands of years old. So, could be worse. It was just disconcerting to hear how he viewed her in contrast to how she viewed him.]

You're the one who brought up the Venus flytraps. Broc flowers are just nice little things that you can also use in medicine. More practical. And far easier to find.

It won't kill me to get you one of those. I've encountered more dangerous things and survived.

[Whatever she was assuming, his views on her were hardly any more sexual than the average man. She had a nice body, and he acknowledged that. For all of Ryou's looks, Bakura was old enough to be her ancestor, and he was very much aware of her as a woman. Even if he didn't really care for her as one.]

You look quite shocked!

Just weird hearing that from Ryou's cute little face.

[To make her point, she reaches out to pat his cheek.]

[Bakura jumps back sharply as if she'd just gone to hit him, his eyes narrowed suspiciously. It's a literal jump; he leaps back about a foot.]

Just because Ryou doesn't act the part, that doesn't mean he isn't a boy. He's probably noticed them too.

[His voice is filled with mocking sarcasm despite the glare on his face.]

I think I'll stick with men, thanks.

[That came out a bit harder then Sibyll had intended, but it was either that or let the creeper know he had managed to max out her weirdness levels. And she had, at least in her mind, a pretty high tolerance for weird.]

Sorry, Ryou.

[More apologetic, her gaze flicks to his eyes, as if she's looking for something in him. It's not a bit stretch to guess what it is she's looking for, either. Just any glimpse of the boy. Some sort of reassurance that he could be saved.]

Oi, oi... don't lump me in with that damned host of mine. You'd be surprised if you ever met the 'real me'.

[More than even he knows.]

You should save your breath. My vessel is asleep right now.

[Bakura's eyes show no sign of the boy behind them. Like his host, they're the most expressive part of him. Compared to Ryou's softness and kindness, the harsh coldness in them now is an unnatural expression. Something very old and very cruel lies behind them, though that may be impossible to tell. It's the same eyes Sibyll might have found in someone from her world. The eyes of someone who has done unspeakable things and no longer feels any pity. In fact, he feels nothing for anyone that isn't 'his', save for his shallow feelings towards their entertainment factor. Those soft features are now distorted into hardness.

It doesn't look right on Ryou Bakura.]

[Her own dark eyes narrow when she doesn't find what she's looking for. In fact, upon seeing something even worse, she finds the temptation to just shoot him. Ryou had said in the past that he didn't mind dying.

But no, it was futile.

For now.]

Sorry, sweetie, try again in a different body. Like I said, Ryou's too cute to take you hitting on me seriously.

Idiot... Sorry, but I'm not hitting on you at all. I don't go for the whole 'crazy gunlady' type.

[Tucking his hands into his pocket, he frowns at her. Did she really think he was into her? What an arrogant woman. Just because he gave her a compliment or two. It was pathetic!]

Heheheh...

[Ryou really does have the most irritating friends...]

[She can't really deny the 'crazy gunlady' bit. Which is just annoying. Instead she just huffs a little.]

Now what're you laughing about?

Maybe I was just imagining you writhing in pain.

...or maybe I was just amused by your presumption.

[She huffed... did he finally annoy her?]

Either way, I'm not telling you.

And you complain that my moods change too fast for you. Here you are back at wanting to torture me again when just a little while ago you wanted to bring me flowers.

[Just going to step on that bit of irritation like a bug before he picks up on it. Can't give him the satisfaction.]

There you go with your presumptions again! I never said I wanted to torture you.

[...it was just implied.]

Maybe I don't know if I like you or not. Is that too much of a stretch to believe?

Not really a presumption since you mentioned it in your 'lovely' note. Or were you just lying to me? Don't go playing with my feelings like that, cupcake.

[Says the woman who does nothing but lie.]

A little. How can you not decide how you feel about a person?

It's easy enough. I hardly ever feel strongly enough to hate people, but it's rare for me to like them either. So I tend to swing between mild dislike, mild like, and not caring at all, depending on how interesting they are and the actions they take. Like a pendulum set in motion.

The note was just to tease you. Don't take it seriously.

'Mild dislike'? 'Mild like'? [She laughs at him.] Is there anything you do feel strongly about?

...un.

[He sounds surprisingly Ryou-like when he does that.]

There's someone I love. And there's a goal I've been searching for over three thousand years now. Apart from those... I can do without everything else.

Oh? Who's the lucky person?

[Any sarcasm is tempered by genuine curiosity.]

[He's a little surprised by the question, but whatever. It's not like it's a secret.]

My partner. Malik Ishtar.

Oh?

[She seems rather surprised that he has an answer. Then frowns a little, trying to think. The name was familiar. How did she know that name again...?]

What makes him so special?

Beats me. He annoys the hell out of me a lot. He's bossy, rude, arrogant and a pain in the ass... And we fight all the time. But even so, he's the first person I've ever felt this strongly towards.

It just sort of happened.

[And scared the hell out of him in the process.]

These odd warm feelings... I don't understand them at all. But if you lay a hand on him... I'll kill you for sure.

Please, what would I gain from killing your... boyfriend...?

[The name finally clicked in her head. He was the one who had managed to reduce Snake's brother to ash. Her eyes narrow. Of course he'd like someone like that.]

Oh no... your poor flytrap.

someday I may get another one

Yet she's still baffled by magic XD Your tolerance for weird is nothing, Sibs

Bahahahaha he's so amused by that, because seriously.

She doesn't even go to the Big MT because she can't tolerate that level of weirdness!

Poor silly Sibyll... She and Kaiba should be bffs.
