If he were less of a jerk, believed this to be reality, and were less of a jerk, Kaiba may have felt bad for toying with Ino. As it were, he was a jackass, didn't think this was reality, and had nothing better to occupy his time than to crush a little girl's spirit. So, when she hesitantly, and a bit suspiciously, questioned his position in this, he only thought: She's far too gullible. Should he continue to waste his time on this then? If she were easy then there was no pointing pursuing this further, yet.. a tiny bit of him was in fact intrigued by which steps she would take and how far he could continue the charade. For now he'd stick with it, acting the part he crafted for her.

Next step entailed him looking solemn without trying to look solemn. It was a difficult thing to do in complete sincerity. Especially for him as his emotions were, just a tad, fucked up from his past. Thankfully he had managed to perfect this look, and many others, in front of his mirror. This is the absolute clarification that Kaiba had been plotting this; it was another reason why he was not about to readily give up on all the hard work he'd done. A few seconds after giving a mournful look, he ever-so-slightly widened his eyes and looked away. That was meant to be a 'I didn't mean to show that' sort of thing. Given a moment of composure, he turned back to Ino.

"I," this was not a scripted pause, Kaiba merely found himself utterly disturbed by what he was about to say. Once he recollected himself he went back to the pretend game, "I wanted to be." For now a pause here would be in his best interest. He could continue, he had thought of many different responses for various commentary she could make, but it would be more entertaining for him if he allowed her to digest that.

Ouch.

Of course, this started a ton of questions through her mind. Was he lying? What did she do wrong? When did he decide he didn't like her anymore? Had he even liked her in the first place? Was he toying with her even now? Could she trust him? What was going on? Ohhh, she was so confused, and it was pissing her off. She had to be calm, though. Dealing with this by yelling and screaming wouldn't accomplish anything. In fact, it would probably would make him hater her more ... adding to whatever it was she did before. What did she do? It just wasn't making sense.

"What? Explain what you mean!" She came off a little demanding, she supposed, but she NEEDED to know what was going on before her brain exploded. "You'd better not be screwing around," she added menacingly, reaching towards the pouch on her leg. She doubted she'd use any of her weapons on Kaiba, he was unarmed and pretty powerless as far as she could tell ... but you never knew with Ino's temper.
