Comments

[itaidakimasu]

You might have been distracted by the cake.

{Or thought that she was just exaggerating. For some reason people never believed her when she told them she could seriously pack away food.}

[feelsgoodinyou]

Yeah, that was probably it. [He laughs, somehow managing to hit that certain 'nervous Ryou' note, and runs a hand through his hair as if it was a gesture to hide his embarassment.]

It's hard to believe, looking at you.

[itaidakimasu]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

{Don't be distracted by the cute, sheepish giggle. In the time it took him to do his little impression, a fourth of her food has mysteriously vanished.

Into her stomach.}

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He doesn't. Few things turn you as immune to distractions like that as having no body for over 3000 years does. He ability to just inhale food is impressive, though, and he finds himself staring at her as he randomly wonders if she has some kind of connection to the monsters of the dark realm.

...On the other hand, his own host could eat like a bottomless pit himself and having taken over his body, he suspected that he himself might be blessed with the same 'skill' now.

As if on cue, his stomach rumbles, causing him to flinch.]

Ah-

[itaidakimasu]

{Yako shoots him a sympathetic look and drags a plate of pancakes towards them.}

Saving stuff for later is all well and good, but Resonating can eat up your energy if you're new at it. You sould eat up.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He gives her a look that hides all of his emotions and then reaches for one of the knives on the table. Pulling a bowl full of lychees close, he sits down and starts peeling one, frowning lightly.

Stupid body, that's not how it's supposed to be. It is supposed to just do what he wants, not force him to deal with demands of its own as well.

He sighs.]

I hate being this weak.

[itaidakimasu]

Ugh. Believe me, I understand.

{She sighs as well, rubbing a hand over her ribs as she toys with the remaining one-third of her meal.}

I can barely take a hit, here. And I bruise like a peach when I do.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He gives her a sideways glance and then shrugs his shoulders, opting to toy with his lychee instead, putting it into his mouth as a whole and twisting and nibbling on it in there.

What he really meant to say was "I hate how weak this body is", but he doesn't want to reveal his true identity just yet. At least not while he can still get any advantage from pretending to be his host.]

At least you don't have to worry about getting burnt by the sun or being mistaken for a girl.

[itaidakimasu]

Oh yes.

{She slices an apple neatly, smiling in a very sweet manner that should probably send a dozen warning signals off in a primal part of his brain.}

Goodness knows I'd hate it if somebody did that.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[Another sideways glance as he takes his knife to the next fruit.]


They'd have to be deaf, stupid and blind to mistake you for a boy.

[He swallows and then spits out the pit, putting it on the table.]

[itaidakimasu]

The skirts I wear usually help.

{Still, it's nice to hear that. Even if it's for damage control.}

[feelsgoodinyou]

There were ages when both men and women wore them as everyday wear. [His past self included.

He reaches out to steal a bite from her plate.]

What I'm more worried about is the fighting.

fffff that was a dangerous move

[itaidakimasu]

True. It's a bit less common these days

{He gets his hand smacked, hard and so reflexively that she doesn't fully realize that she did it and continues talking normally.}

If you can find a good partner you should be okay! I've only been on one mission, since...well, not a lot of people can use my Weapon form, but it went well!

thieves live on the exiting side of life :) and same right back to you XD

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He makes an angry little noise as he gets foiled and his mind reaches instinctively out to call upon his dark magic to teach her a lesson before he catches and stops himself. Backing off, he smiles in a bad copy of his host.]

You think so? I'm not really good at working with others... What kind of weapon are you?

pffft she called a sadistic demon an idiot to his face. this is nothing

[itaidakimasu]

{She gives him a slightly confused look at the noise and the semi-creepy grin, still alternating between talking and eating normally.}

A whip.

did said demon have a knife in his hand at that time too? |D

[feelsgoodinyou]

A whip, huh?

[He goes back to eating, mulling as another lychee finds its demise between his teeth and only semi-concerned at keeping his act up (it was pretty much fucked over by now anyway. The girl probably doesn't know his host very well).]

They're good for torture but bad in real fights.

...you've obviously never SEEN said demon's hands.

[itaidakimasu]

{That gets him an odd look.}

.......um. Normal whips, yes, I...suppose. I have a couple tricks that help against Kishin, though.

actually, I did >_>

[feelsgoodinyou]

Oh? [He perks up. Somehow one of his strands of hair ends up sticking out like a wing.]

he doesn't need knives <_<

[itaidakimasu]

Well...I guess the best way to put it is I suck out a portion of 'energy' every time I make contact. And if I drain enough, as I found out in training, I can actually use that energy in an attack. It does some pretty significant damage! If the Kishin is worn down enough, I can pull the soul right out.

{There were probably other attacks she could use, but since Kanji gained an official partner she hadn't had anybody to explore that with.}

[feelsgoodinyou]

Hmn. [He makes a point not to look interested or overly impressed and peels another fruit instead. Energy draining isn't bad - he himself is fond of moves like that to back up his strategy during games of Duel Monsters.

However, he knows better than to simply compare a game to reality or to display the weakness of showing too much interest in something that he might want.]

Sucking out life points is not bad, but you need to be able to stay alive and drag it out for however long it takes.

[itaidakimasu]

Yeah. That's part of the Meister's job; I need somebody who can not only use a whip but is nimble enough to evade the Kishin egg at the same time.

{Kanji had some pretty close scrapes back in Ireland...}

[feelsgoodinyou]

So either an experienced fighter or a masochist?

[itaidakimasu]

The former would be better.

I don't think a masochist would make a very good Meister...

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He smiles, all nice Bakura-ish.] I'm sure that there are a lot of people like that around here who would be happy to work with you.

They can be surprisingly tough to deal with, I think. Since hurting them would be pretty useless...

[itaidakimasu]

You'd be surprised. People usually stick with what they know, instead of learning how to use something new. Whips aren't that common a choice.

Maybe, but it's not really conducive to completing a mission quickly and efficiently...
