By this point in his life, Kaiba was used to people starting at him. The reasons varied, but it all came down to them either looking away in embarrassment or crossing their arms and scoffing in an attempt to feel superior. Sometimes both reactions were used, and blushing was often the case in the first and third responses. Kaiba, as he did now, often rose an eyebrow at their antics but said nothing. That is, unless the one performing said actions was a cocky bastard, then he responded in kind. To be fair, they deserved it for being asses. They also deserved to be crush by him, as they often were whether it was in a duel or business meeting.

.. Oh, what did she just say? This is the part where Kaiba crosses his arms and gives a glare. No one mentioned his sleeping habits, ever. Mokuba did, but he had rights considering his title as 'little brother'. Yes, his sleeping schedule more often than not was insane and had been worse since he came to Paradisa (he'd been avoiding sleep whenever possible, food as well unless he himself cooked it), but mentions of it were.. Unheard of? Shampoo would have likely said something, if he weren't concealing himself whenever possible by locking and barricading the doors he was behind, but that was Shampoo. She, somewhatly, held rights to complain, just not the ability to do much of anything.

Ino didn't have such claims. "I've been busy."

He'd top it off with losing the glare, head tilting, and once again cocking that eyebrow. "We're not here to talk about my state of being, are we? IF so, this is a waste of my time."

Ino frowned. Why was he being so cold about it? It had been at least a week and a half, if not more since he had first come on to her. If he really expected her to take him seriously, then he'd have to do something about that ... that distance. Besides, she had just asked if he was okay; was that bad or something? Kaiba gained Mysterious Points +3.

"It was just a question," she responded indignantly, returning his look with an annoyed look of her own. "You know, the kind polite people ask when they're concerned about someone else?" No blushing, she reminded herself. She opened the door even further.

"No, that's not why I asked you meet me here, i-it was just ... Ugh, never mind. Come on," she said, gesturing into the game room, feeling that blushy feeling creeping back. "Go in already, would you?" He was being difficult, and she was having a hard time dealing with it civilly. She could only hope he wouldn't be that way when she really got down to business.
