You were just asking for this one. You really were. XD

[shutupandduelme]

"So," the cold voice seemed to come from the arcade back office, the single word hanging in the air ominously. "You are the one who not only has been uselessly spamming my LP, but has also been leaving animal hair in my arcade."

The tall brunet stepped out, his long coat flaring behind him without any wind. He held a small plastic bag in his hand and toyed with it as he looked Inuyasha up and down. His stare was just as cold as his tone.

"Usually if Ritsuka is going to come in here, he wears these," Kaiba said as he held up the bag, "or he does not come in at all. That policy now officially applies to you." Blue eyes shifted to the white ears peeking out of Inuyasha's hair. They then shifted to his bare feet.

"And shoes," Kaiba added with a disgusted curl of his lip. "There might be some attempt to be a civilized person, hn?"

At least this place allows pets! That's a plus :3

[touch_my_ears]

Inuyasha just kind of stares at the newcomer. He thought 'Who's this guy to say I'm not civilized?!.' He wasn't but ...

Then he stared at the guys apparel. Finally his eyes rested on the bag. He partially ignored the whole shoe comment, but his toes wiggle as if they had ears of their own.

"Policy? Who are you and what the hell would I wear that thing for?" he points at the plastic bag.

Not in this arcade, it doesn't. XD

[shutupandduelme]

"I am in charge of this business," Kaiba said in a tone that one might use on a very young child. "Which would entitle me to set the rules.

He inclined his head towards Inuyasha's ears. "Those...whatever they are supposed to be...will be covered with plastic. Any hair you shed gets into the machines and damages the fan or even the microchips if they get in far enough. I have no interest in taking apart every machine and cleaning them out every day."

He took another step forward, staring down his nose at the odd man. "That is, if you even get in the door at all. Plastic will work for those feet as well, unless you choose to get proper footwear."

[touch_my_ears]

He was confused. Why'd he have to cover up the ears? They were his ears! But apparently this guy wasn't going to let him stay unless he didn't listen. Though he wasn't going to back down just because this guy was bigger than him.

"Why should I have to cover my ears?! What are /you/ gonna do if I don't?!"

One thing Inuyasha had confidence in was his own strength. So this guy wasn't going to physically remove him... still something about this guy made his hair stand on end.

[shutupandduelme]

Kaiba just crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "I would have thought it was clear," he said. "You will be removed." He didn't care where this guy came from, how strong he might be, or his bluster. This was his arcade he was scuffing up, and Kaiba wasn't about to allow that. "This is my arcade, and those are Kaiba Corporation policies."

His eyes shifted to the machine Inuyasha was standing next to, and he smirked. "As amusing as it is to watch you flail at the game, it doesn't excuse you from them."

Oh ... it is so on

[touch_my_ears]

That sounded like almost like Kaiba saying 'I could so do better than you' to Inuyasha. That gave him an idea.

"How about this then Mr. Fancy Robe. If I beat you, then you gotta let me in here without your stinking policies! If you win, I'll wear that stupid bag on my head!"

Inuyasha was way to confident to ever think he could lose.

"Unless you're scared you'll lose...!"

Sorry Inu, he's had over a year of practice on the machines on Salkia, and makes games for a living.

[shutupandduelme]

"Kaiba Seto," he corrected. "CEO and President of Kaiba Corporation, and former Duel Monsters Champion." It wasn't exactly an arcade game, but he would bet his fortune that this rube didn't know that.

He smirked. "I personally design video games. I also don't take challenges lightly. Learn to pick your opponents better before you open your mouth."

He bent back his long slender fingers until they cracked, then glanced over the machine in question a second time.

"Hn. You haven't even beaten the top score yet. You still want to challenge me?"

Owo .... the dog is a bit unnerved

[touch_my_ears]

From Inuyasha's point of view, Kaiba looked like a giant tower right now. He was a bit ... intimidated? This guy designed these things... whatever that meant. But that was more than Inuyasha knew about this game... still...

"O-of course! You don't scare me!"

Then the trench of doom has done it's work.

[shutupandduelme]

"We'll see," Kaiba said confidently as he turned towards the machine.

"Do you know how to open up a two person game, or must I do it for you?"

[touch_my_ears]

"Of course I can! I'm not stupid!"

He actually figured it out maybe a day or two ago at the most. He starts up the 2 player mode glancing over at Kaiba from time to time. Not that he could actually ever gauge how good he was ... but it was better than looking away. Looking away meant fear in Inuyasha's eyes right now.

[shutupandduelme]

"Of course not," Kaiba said with a healthy dose of sarcasm. He watched the man do it with a critical eye, right up until he had to turn to his own half of the screen. His opponent was quite fond of bluster and obvious anger, that much was clear. There would be no problems winning here.

As soon as he was able, Kaiba launched into a fast array of combo attacks. He never missed one, ensuring he could stack his score and build up to the most powerful attacks quickly. He didn't move his eyes away from the machine, didn't even shift his fingers to different buttons.

Kaiba barely even blinked while he played.

(1/2)

[touch_my_ears]

"What the-?!"

Inuyasha had no clue what he'd gotten himself into. He found himself holding the guard button, but when he did, he'd just get thrown. The process continued until Kaiba's character flattened his to a pulp.

[touch_my_ears]

"Da** it! C'mon! Don't give up!"

And then Kaiba landed the final blow.

"I-I lost...!!!"

[shutupandduelme]

Kaiba didn't even bother looking at the other when he stepped away from the machine. He simply stretched out his fingers again and headed for the front counter.

"Obviously," he finally said coolly, bending over to pull out something in a bottom drawer. "As if there was any other possible outcome."

The brunet smirked and finally stood up, holding his package of plastic bags.

"Now, as per our agreement?"

(1/2)

[touch_my_ears]

Inuyasha didn't like the idea of losing. But arcades were new to him. So he wasn't going to let it bother him too much.

"... don't think this is over."

[touch_my_ears]

"Just give me the stupid stuff..."

A deal was a deal and Inuyasha always payed up figuratively.
