It's 'Pester Kaiba Day', everybody!
Who: Kaiba Seto, Open
What: He just turned twenty, man. He's supposed to be in court today, laughing in the faces of all of those people who tried to take his company or his brother away from him because he was a minor. Instead he was traipsing across town, getting caught up in random visions and trying to fish out his Not!Boyfriend lover rival ( Read more... )

Later on she'd try to destroy it again. She wanted no part of it, this place, or the girl that was keeping her there.
The monster caught her attention, lingering close to the weird looking buildings that people had lived in. She approached slowly, treading quietly, watching with almost a faint scowl on her features. Another nightmare?
Some idiot was also trying to fight it, it seemed.
She did nothing initially, though her fingers curled around her bow. Watching. She'd watch, for now, though she was in clear view of it if she had to shoot an arrow off at it.

"Tch," he clucked dismissively. "A waste of time." He had better things to do, like digging out the other person on this Island who he had any interest in at all. It was odd how much saving he was doing today. Maybe it was just something about birthdays.
One of the thing's tentacles went around his ankle, and the gun came out without another word. Kaiba fired, and the monster screamed, drawing back and dissipating away from the injury to its face. Kaiba just looked bored.

He did that? Odd magic for the strangely dressed boy to have. The corner of her mouth twitched downward slightly before she released her bow. Whatever kind of magic it was, it apparently worked.. since the monster had vanished.
...Vanished. That's right. Her eyes shifted back toward where it was, eyes narrowing faintly. It held no aura to it. No presence lingered behind. Unlike the ones in the forest. 'Naraku' had been a lie as well.. none of this was real.
It was an annoyance, really.
She continued onward, walking along quietly, keeping her senses up, just in case.

Suddenly, movement a few feet away caught his eye. He lifted his head, only to see a dark haired woman in a priestess' getup walking away. It almost looked like the shrieking girl from the back, though he had never known her to be so...quiet. Still, having a person nearby might be useful information.
"Woman," he barked, too used to giving orders to temper his voice at all, "that thing wasn't yours, was it?"
Reply
"No." A pause, a delay. She was used to being ordered around by.. well.. anyone who thought they could control her. Her face remained neutral, almost bored as well. "I have never seen one before." She glanced toward where it once was.
"But it wasn't real." Spoken in a 'you should've realized that' sort of tone. Hey, be curt with her, and she'll be curt back.

Her answers were, of course, not helpful at all. He rolled his eyes and turned back to where the monster had been.
"Obviously," he said. Of course these things weren't real. "But they're still connected to people. It could have very well been one of those temple legends you people use to scam tourists for yen."

"They have a strange feel to them. Not an aura, but... close enough." Perhaps, if she was correct in her assumption, she would be able to sense them before the dreams kicked in. She was able to sense it with Kagome, but that might be because of the 'bond' they shared.

"You don't have to wait for how it feels. Someone will come stumbling out the woodwork to sob over it," he said. Kaiba lifted his LP to check the time and the map, and shook his head.
"Or not. This one didn't matter."
Reply
"Someone will always be around to get upset over... dreams. They feel real while they are happening, but once they are finished they are just that."

He paused, pursing his lips. There was a legitimate thought in that. Who else was scared of monsters under their bed. And out of all the kids here...he needed to find Atem.
"Did you have something to say to me, or you just watching the show?" he finally quipped, staring at Kikyo straight on for the first time. She was more than a little reminiscent of Kagome. They were probably from the same world.
Reply
"I usually do not have specific words to say to people I do not know."

He didn't bother with the handshake.
Reply
"Kikyou." She stated in reply, straightening up, watching him for some sort of reaction. With Kagome around, she wasn't surprised if everyone knew who she was. And what.
Reply
He didn't recognize the name, either. Usually when Kagome opened her mouth, his mind went elsewhere. But she seemed to expect something out of him, and she did look so familiar...
"You're from the shrieking one's world, then," he said bluntly. "Kagome's."

Bonding over the dislike of someone? Best kind!

He scowled. "She purposefully picks the the most annoying then puts them up against actual useful members of society, I'm sure."
