Kaiba never slept on a good day. On a bad one? He had been pacing the arcade and roaming the island all night, too angry at Yuugi and himself to focus.

Yuugi turned, glancing toward Kaiba as he made himself known. If Kaiba was making himself come off as more cruel and harsh, Yuugi was doing his best to come off as more... apathetic. This kid had been targeted by people who tormented him for years, so being threatened didn't phase him as much anymore. Plus... it was just Kaiba.

Yuugi followed after him, not bothering to try to quicken his stride to walk along next to him. Kaiba would probably keep walking quicker on purpose, just to stay ahead of him.

He followed after, not saying anything, though he couldn't help but manage a small smile. The other duelist hadn't changed at all, even if he was truly angry, he was still oddly calm and serious business.

Eventually, he'd decide if that was a good thing or not.
