A large mansion on the outskirts of Shibuya it faces south and has an elaborate black roof. The building itself includes 5 watchtowers and two large wings separated by a large central structure, each wing is five stories high and the watch towers open a floor above that. It has large sprawling gardens, a vineyard and heavy woods leading up to it from the rear. It includes several access roads and foot paths for traversal both by employees and by the homes residences. The property is known to feature several places considered tourist attractions, a hot spring off to the eastern wing, a large lake and a lake house and stables. There is also a set of kennels, a large athletics park including a play place and giant maze for children. The athletics park includes, basketball courts, a baseball diamond, tennis courts and all necessary items to play those games. The amount of area covered by the property is so vast, the only way to properly get around is by horse drawn carriage or go-cart. There is also a small planetarium and star gazing facilities on the top floor. The entire property is also self-sustaining and includes fruit and vegetable gardens, large solar panels and hydro electric power as well as several deep fresh water wells. The house itself includes several large family sized apartments on lower floors for employs, guest suites on middle floors and full live suites for the family members. A large kitchen is in the central part of the mansion for entertaining guests, diplomats and business partners. And the entire place is decorated to include the finest luxuries money can buy.

"Is that a him accomplishment though?" she asked with a snarky countenance. "I am pretty sure if he passed the entrance exam we'd all know about given how much he talks about himself," she said seeming to think about it in passing. Fukuda was the kind of individual to talk himself up at every opportunity. If he actually had something worth talking about, the entire school would never hear the end of it, of that Kimiko was certain.

Still the lad was getting more dressed and Kimiko was doing something similar. She also pulled her own hood up while making sure her phone and other necessities were in her pocket. Still there was the matter of the payment for watching the lad's bum from the side which he said would have a fee nominal but fair. "Hm, well I appreciate the business acumen, but I don't know if I like it being used against me~" she teased lightly. What else would happen here, well, it seemed like they were honestly about to leave.

Yugi would apparently remember her slipping in this naughty nun of hers. She'd have to make sure it was good though... wouldn't want to tarnish it in anyway. "Hai hai," the lass affirmed. Soon enough though Yugi was grabbing the doorknob to his box home and extending a hand to the lass behind him. Of course this only came after commenting about how a tease was supposed to be a thing and not just an idea. "Well the idea makes you think and I like your face so that makes sense~" she said as if it were the most natural thing to do. Still, she took that hand that was extended to her and would slip out of his box with him taking up the sneaky route to the Ashikaga Mansion from here.

After quite the long trip from Aiba Yugi's live-in box just outside the former prime minister's manor, Yugi encroached upon the building known by most residents of Japan. It was a sight to behold even with knowledge of its existence and ridiculous scale, and above all else, he happened to be hand-in-hand with one of the mansion's main residents. Strangely, they weren't approaching from any route he would consider normal... though, that wasn't too strange. It was nearly three in the morning, and they were teenagers; avoiding the police had been the main objective of this entire trip thus far. Even from a strange direction however, the state of this mansion was phenomenal.

Still keeping an open eye and ear from time to time, Yugi moved through the darkness en route to the building. There were trees on either side of them, thick as a forest. Even so, this definitely wasn't a public street as far as he knew. How was he unfamiliar with it? They had recently passed what seemed to be a park of some sort, and that wasn't familiar at all either. "Where the hell are we? Even being here before, I don't remember this place being next to a park or anything. When do we hit the safe zone?" he asked, wondering when they would officially be on the property of the Ashikaga family. Ah, he knew so little. . .

[Apollymi]

Hand in hand with Aiba Yugi, Ashikaga Kimiko reached an area which looked a lot like a park. They'd cut through this area but it wasn't just because it was unpoliced. No... this particular park was part of the lass' backyard. She was easily walking at a less rushed pace after reaching it, knowing that there wasn't anything negative that could take place for the two of them here. Still there were words from Yugi which made her eyes widen gently. Oh? He didn't realize where they were... she was about to have to explain the scale of the property that the Ashikaga Mansion was on, and that could have some interesting effects.

"Um... we are in the safe zone," she said, trying to break the news gently. She gave his hand a small squeeze and smiled before she began explaining. "That park is part of the property. Papa had it put up for employees who stay here. It has all fun sports facilities and a full playground and maze. I also used to play there a lot as a kid..." she explained. She realized the scale of this place was probably outlandish but it was a pretty huge piece of property with a lot of different amenities available to everyone who lived here. "If you've seen it before I assume you've only ever seen it from the front..." she said she was ready and willing to answer any questions. They still had a pretty decent walk ahead of them after all.

[Bloodedge]

With a light squeeze of his hand, Kimiko stated that the park they'd so recently passed was part of the property. That made sense of why he didn't know about it; it wasn't a public space. Since they were in the safe zone officially, he figured he could relax at last. Ah... that also explained Kimiko's slowed pace. And here, he'd been thinking she just knew there would be no officers around; that was technically accurate as well. "Ahh, that makes sense. All clear then," the lad said. What a relief! Even while being confident in the execution, avoiding police sights while moving around after curfew was always a surefire way to get the adrenaline going. Now, he could relax... on the Ashikaga property... which spanned the size of an entire town... and had an entire park as one of its facilities. . .

". . ." Yugi was silent, and seemingly content with all things. That is, until he realized the gravity of the situation. What did he just pass off as normal? "EH?!" An outburst the likes of no other escaped him. Luckily enough, they couldn't be caught outside after curfew now. Still, what the hell had he walked into? It seemed there was another ten minutes before they reached what he would accept as the property line. How much did this all cost?! "You fucking WHAT?!"

[Apollymi]

Ah, that was easy enough. Yugi accepted the knowledge that they had reached a safe zone for travel with fewer arguments than expected. What was more he relaxed quite a bit himself. Her own slowed pace seemed to encourage his and he had but a confirming statement to offer after having reached this junction. "Hai hai, it's pretty much smooth sailing from here. But I didn't take a go-cart out like normal so... we still have to walk back~" she mused happily. Of course, she couldn't have realized it would be a few seconds for the other shoe to drop.

Yugi hadn't realized exactly the magnitude of the Ashikaga Mansion's Estate. It seemed he didn't know about the Athletic Park or any of the other random features of it. And he would soon be expressing his surprise in the most extravagant way. The sound of 'eh' would echo through these woods and make Kimiko chuckle covering her mouth with one hand even while they walked together. "I used to play at that park a lot when I was a kid. It was a pretty fun thing... to come out here and run around. Now I mostly use it as a place to cut through while I am sneaking in and out, but I am less likely to run into my parents on this end of the property in general," she explained gently. "Unless that isn't what you're asking... in which case we have some time. I can answer any questions you might have~" she offered lightly. She wondered what part of this was so shocking. She knew the property to be quite large by normal people's standards. Even diplomats and businessmen were often surprised when the came to the property. But it was always a pretty lively place with people moving about most of the time. Only the Athletic Park was empty at this hour, unless someone happened to be in the gym or something. Thinking about it a bit more though, she figured Yugi would find this scale a bit overwhelming and probably thought it outrageously costly. That wasn't to downplay it all, but the girl did think of this as her normal life.

[Bloodedge]

Information entered Yugi's head bit by bit, though none of it was processing as it should have been. This was well beyond excessive. Why did anyone need an entire park and maze connected to their home? Why did the property need to be so expensive? Why the absolute hell were there go-carts? Well, the final curiosity was essentially answered by its predecessor. With all this space, there was no way they didn't need some form of transportation to get from one spot to another. Yugi could only imagine how long it would take to move from one side of the property to another. "There is an entire park. You used to play in it, and now you just cut through it to sneak out. The park... was put up for the employees. Because they need to go to a park while they're on the clock."

Yugi rambled and rambled, never coming to terms with the truth of this matter. The Ashikaga family was known by all to be in a different league from most citizens, but the real distance between them and society was something that had to be experienced for oneself. In receiving the experience first-hand, Yugi couldn't even manage to call out how ludicrous it all was. "No words. I don't need to know why anybody thought this was a reasonable idea. I don't need to know how much was invested in this house. I need... to sit down somewhere, and pretend I'm still on Earth─"

[Apollymi]

Yugi's mind exploded in his head, Kimiko could see that clearly. Hm, maybe she should have warned him a bit better? Well, that didn't really seem necessary. Everyone had some idea of who she was. People knew that the Ashikaga were exceedingly wealthy over the top individuals. The size of this estate wasn't really that far-fetched from an objective standpoint. Of course, she'd just spent a ton of time with the lad, both in this world and in another one. She could see how the magnitude of it might get out of hand quickly. Well... she did say before that it was something that got boring after a while. She hadn't been lying but this kind of surprise was about normal for new employees and visitors. "Well, not just while they are on the clock, but yes also for then too. Papa says it is important to take care of all employees and staff, making sure there is entertainment available for them here is part of that. And it was probably safer to have me looked after on property than to let me wander off too much..." she said of her previous adventures. Of course, this hadn't stopped her from becoming more adventurous as she got older, but none of the facilities here were really going to waste.

Rambling was happening on Yugi's part. Maybe it was a bit too much to take in at once? Well, he claimed all he wanted right now was a place to sit and make sure he was still on earth. Given where they were currently she could manage that. She diverted their path just a smidge to a gazebo which gave an interesting view of a dimly lit koi pond. Ah, this happened to be one of her favorite places. It might be best to let him come to terms with all of this before pulling him into a house that was undoubtedly going to set off all kinds of alarm bells in his mind. She'd pull him along until they could be seated on the benches within the gazebo and look out over the koi pond happily. "There you go. Let me know if you go into shock... we can go to the kennels and let you pet some of the puppies until you feel better~" she joked, though it was technically something very possible.

[Bloodedge]

In response to the mass confusion and disbelief happening in a single mind, Kimiko decided to take a slight detour. Yugi didn't truly need to be seated; the situation wasn't that extreme. Alas, that didn't mean he would say no to the idea of taking a break just to absorb the sheer scale of this place. More surprises were in store; he knew it. Oh... actually, he didn't have to wait until he got inside. Kimiko tugged him along to a gazebo with one of the most scenic views he'd ever seen in this world, at least with his bare eyes. While the lad sat, the next frivolous thing was listed. If Kimiko thought he could go into shock, she had no idea how very different her life was from what most individuals considered normal. This was already so far beyond luxury, that the rich and famous would feel unworthy.

Kennels? Some of the puppies? Yugi was imagining something ridiculous, and he doubted he was very far from the truth. Based on existing information regarding this place, he could only assume these kennels had no less than a few dozen dogs, each with several puppies. Actually, no─ that was probably underestimating the truth by a lot. "Not gonna lie, I think I'd rather avoid going to the kennels just to find out you have an entire zoo at your house," he said, leaning against his knees and exhaling a deep sigh. With his head lowered slightly, his eyes were drawn to the koi pond. That was nice... and very normal. "Okay. Koi. Very normal, very... obtainable for humans. . .

[Apollymi]

Was Kimiko aware that her life was beyond what other people considered luxury? Yes. She had at least a cursory understanding that her life was very different from that of any of her peers. Even the one person she considered a friend before meeting Yugi, didn't live quite as lavishly as Kimiko did. Of course, that didn't matter very much to the lass. Kimiko had grown up with all of this and somehow managed not to be a spoiled, entitled brat. In fact, she was a pretty funny joking sort of person in the right company. Yugi was the right company. As they took a minor detour to the gazebo he seemed to be taking in the scenery in a fairly calm manner.

Yugi sank to his knees looking at the koi pond and going on to explain the level of audacity he expected from the Ashikaga Mansion. A chuckle escaped Kimiko as she gave his statement some minor consideration. Still she was watching him instead of the view so much as she was curious about what was going on in his mind. "Hm, I am pretty sure what we have doesn't count as a zoo... there aren't any crazy exotic animals here," she said giving it a bit of thought. "But there are a fair few different varieties of the normal ones. It wouldn't be trauma inducing..." she explained. The ones that came to mind immediately were the Aquarium in the Eastwing, the stables with their horses, the aviary her mother kept and the kennels where her father raised dogs. "Hai hai, koi ponds are pretty normal. There are a few of them peppered around mostly at these little rest stops. This one is one of my favorites... it has the pretty ones in it~" she said. Speaking of the koi this one was full of the red and white speckled ones along with a few of the black ones. She enjoyed looking at this pond and could be found here frequently. There was the fact that this gazebo existing as a rest stop meant the property was large enough to require random places to sit and rest, but... that wasn't really worth thinking about.

[Bloodedge]

Luckily, there wasn't something as outlandish as a zoo on this property. At least there was one thing that could be considered normal about this building and all of its features; they hadn't gone full Neverland with the design. Even so, maybe Neverland should have been considered a massive downgrade, even by a child's standards. That place had all sorts of exotic creatures, entertainment, the whole shebang... but this place seemed like it was only missing the creatures, while having much more of anything else one could imagine. He hadn't even seen the entire place, or even a quarter of it, yet he was already sure of that much. "You say it won't be trauma-inducing, and here I am mentally debating what you think is normal dog varieties. I'm still expecting to see something that cost a hundred billion yen." He was joking, but only slightly. It was difficult to expect anything in this place to cost more than a normal person's salary. He could adjust, though... in a bit.

The property even had rest stops. How did this quantify as anything resembling normal? No matter; Yugi had enough of a breather now to move past the ridiculousness of it all, mostly. Slapping both of his cheeks simultaneously, Yugi steeled himself to see whatever else this mansion had in store. "Yosh! All rested! Now, what other crazy shit am I gonna be seeing on the way to the game?"

[Apollymi]

Apparently Yugi was debating within himself what would count as a normal dog breed for someone like Ashikaga Kimiko. The truth of the matter was her father did raise a particularly rare breed of dog, but he just liked it. There was a vast difference in how Ashikaga Tokiomi approached life and how others interpreted that information. "Hm, Papa's favorite and personal dog is a Kai Ken. He breeds them from time to time. But we also have Hokkaido and Shikoku as staples around here," she explained of the lad's likely passing curiosity.

Ah, but it didn't really matter soon enough, Yugi had gotten himself together. He claimed to be rested enough to continue and as such Kimiko stood, stretched and this time she extended a hand to the lad instead with a smile on her face. His inquiry about things between him and the game made her brow raise as she tried to think of anything too outlandish for normal people. "Between us and the game, is a not much. Outside there is a garden and we'll pass my garage. The more interesting things are on the eastern side if I am being fair. Then for the building there isn't much... A ground floor sitting room that leads to the elevator and then a five floor trip and then we'll be on my private floor so it won't really matter," she said with a curt nod. To be honest, she'd gotten used to much more privacy than most people her own age, she lived on the top floor of the western wing and the entirety of the western wing belonged to her. Her parents lived on the eastern wing and they tended to entertain and keep guests in the central compound of the house. All was fair and there was nothing much to be worried about. Hell, it usually took her parents about fifteen to twenty minutes to arrive on her side of the house after telling her they were coming. It was rare indeed to run into them at random so, she could have a decent bit of faith they'd not have to go through much between here and the end of their journey.

[Bloodedge]

How strange. Being quite fond of dogs himself, Yugi wasn't expecting that particular list of canines. For a personal dog, hearing the breed Kai Ken was even more outlandish than whatever top-dollar foreign breed he could think of. Actually, there was another coming to mind, which he would've expected to be her father's personal favorite. "So your whole family just specializes in making me unable to predict stuff, huh? Akita is what I would have expected your dad's favorite dog to be. Let me guess, it's not yours either?" he asked. interestingly enough, that happened to be his favorite dog breed. Of course it was his luck to favor the most expensive breed in Japan; such was sod's law.

Apparently, there wasn't much of merit en route to the gaming session. A garden? Normal. Kimiko had a garage? Strange, but somewhat expected. There was an elevator? That one was worth a pause, but he wasn't about to get absorbed in that sort of outburst again already. "Alright. That all sounds... sort of acceptable," he said while accepting an outstretched hand, letting it be a guiding force for his rise. One could say he was actually looking forward to the trip itself, whether for the sights, the gaming experience, or otherwise. Perhaps it was all three. Whatever the case, onward he'd go along whatever path Kimiko chose to lead.

[Apollymi]

Kimiko got to watch as Yugi expressed some manner of surprise. It was interesting to her that he claimed he'd not been able to predict the favorite animal of one Ashikaga Tokiomi though he'd had an idea of what it would be. It seemed that Kimiko alone wasn't the only type of person who's thoughts he couldn't predict. A smile crossed her face as he expressed a breed that he thought her dad would have liked. "Probably, yes... but it will likely wear off," she said about the nature of her family and being unpredictable. "We raise Akita a bit. They can be a bit hostile to strangers, other dogs and they have a pretty high prey drive... we have a lot of kids running around during the day so they always have to be trained extra so they can be more amiable. But the families that like to live off site are usually really happy with them as watchdogs," she said of the woes of raising Akita. Strangely enough though, Kimiko's mother favored Akita as a personal choice in dog, so maybe Yugi wasn't too far off from the norm. "As for my favorite, it's the Shikoku. They come in the best colors and they have the best temperament for me," she explained of her personal choice. What she didn't know that there was a rather strange irony associated with her choice, as Shikoku were historically bred for hunting boars.

Moving right along though, her explanation of what was between them and their gaming goal didn't seem to set Yugi off too much. She could still see the man's brain working, but he was at least calm enough to take her extended hand so they could continue. "Hoh? Good good, I wouldn't want it to be unacceptable..." she joked as she lead him along. Eventually they would come to the door at the rear of the western wing. She'd enter a code on the keypad at the back door and have it unlock enough so they could slip inside. Once they succeeded in that, she'd breathe a sigh of relief, "Yosh! Made it in... now then, school tomorrow is probably out of the question," she mentioned as she led him along the darkened sitting room with the greatest of ease. "But, that just means we can game all night which is a way better use of our time... I'm really excited about that~" she mentioned casually. That darkened room was one she passed through from time to time. When she wasn't receiving guests and no one needed a place to sit, it was never really necessary to have the lights on. It was decorated with a few plush couches, some high backed chairs and a couple of tables. It would have looked cozy if not for the massive size of it all, and at the far end of it, was the lit elevator she'd spoken of. They were home free, only the length of this room to the elevator before they could fall into the gaming situation.

[Bloodedge]

Akita were indeed a troublesome breed, beyond the matter of their expensiveness. Yugi still had the desire for one, but he would never have been able to afford such a creature. Even if he randomly stumbled upon one to take in, paying just to keep it alive and healthy was an expense he couldn't deal with. Well, one had to have their pipe dreams. It seemed Kimiko's family had a few of those dogs around, though. Maybe he'd take her up on that offer to go see them eventually. She went on to address her favorite dog breed, which was one he couldn't fault anyone for liking. As for their common use, though, there was only something to laugh about when hearing she preferred them over other breeds. "Uh-huh. Y'know, it's hardly anything besides fitting that you always get stuck with the pigs," Yugi commented.

In they went after a code input from the lass to gain entry. Yugi entered the mansion prepared for anything... well, almost anything. There was one thing he was prepared to go without, and it just so happened to be the case that he would be surprised by the truth. Within that dark room Kimiko guided them through, there was another figure seated atop a high-back chair. This figure came into sight upon switching on a small lamp next to the chair. At this point, the figure was revealed to be a middle-aged male with sleek, dark hair, and a well-trimmed goatee. An open book was in his hand when he came into view. Why? How was he reading this book in the dark? He wasn't; this was just something he always wanted to do, because he thought it would look 'cool' or in some way stylish. Ah, it was just like the movies. Prior to basking in the success of the moment, he had to sell it, right? The man would do so by addressing Kimiko's mention of skipping school. "School is out of the question, is it? Are we under the weather, or just playing hooky?" he asked calmly, causing Yugi to freeze with all the knowledge of who this man was.

[Apollymi]

"Eh?!" Kimiko seemed aghast. It was fitting that she got stuck with pigs all the time based on her favorite breed of dog. That was pretty true huh? She wasn't herself the kind of person who hunted, but if she was she'd likely hunt pigs. Depending loosely on your definition of pigs, she was often seen murdering them... at least by ego. That little bit of surprising banter aside. Kimiko was ready to go into her room, and settle up for her first term of long term gaming. But of course, the universe wouldn't simply allow her to have that.

Within this darkened room a light clicked on, and instead of input from Yugi about the nature of their extended gaming session she got the sound of a familiar voice hitting her ear. This particular voice wasn't supposed to be, anywhere near this mansion or even on this island in Japan. Some 6 days before now, Kimiko had returned home from school to find that her mother and father were taking a vacation, so why... was her father sitting within this room? He was holding within his hand an open book and questioning her lack of school the next day. This was a problem Kimiko didn't foresee having this day. "Papa!" she exclaimed, seemingly surprised. Kimiko hadn't let go of Yugi's hand and also didn't seem entirely phased by her own father's antics. "You aren't supposed to be on this island right now, why are you back so soon?" she questioned. "As for no school, well it's three in the morning and I am not sleepy. So, I wouldn't be ready for going out again by six. Take that as you like," the girl explained herself in an almost completely transparent way. She was basically skipping school, but it was late and she had been up at out all day. their own conversations about school meant it didn't really matter if she skipped either. "Also tell me you didn't take that book out of my library," the lass said running her unoccupied hand over her face. She really didn't like the idea of having to explain her literary choices to her father this day.

[Bloodedge]

Ashikaga Tokiomi. That was the name of the seated man, who seemed caught between a state of seriousness, and one of relaxation. Whatever his actual mood, there was an aura of intimidation that Tokiomi carried with him always, simply by virtue of being such a powerful figure in this world. Yugi couldn't even suffer the effects one such as Tokiomi would bring about if one overstepped any unknown boundaries, and still, he seemed taken aback. Kimiko also appeared surprised, if only because she knew he wasn't meant to be anywhere near this place. So then, why was he here? "Are you so sure I'm home soon, Kimikun? You've been gone for quite some time. Maybe it has been a few more days than you accounted for?" he spoke curiously, though not at all in seriousness.

It seemed Kimiko was not at all ill, but had instead been awake far too late. Of course, one could have assumed the lass had taken a nap or two throughout the day, but no such responsibility was present. He didn't blame her; she was still a teenager, and therefore entitled to her night activities. Curious though, was this strange lad she'd brought with her so incredibly early in the morning. "It is three in the morning, and no, you don't seem to be very tired at all. Is that why you've brought a new friend with you? Are you going to introduce us?"

Ah, the question to which there was only one answer. Tokiomi had been waiting in this wing for quite some time, and he certainly didn't plan ahead enough to bring a book from his own library. He'd gotten bored. As such, he perused his daughter's collection in search of a specific novel... but to no avail. What he wound up with was a copy of New Olympus instead of the desired title. "I did pick this one up a few hours ago, yes. I was hoping to find volume two of that vampire book you have a special copy of on display. That one is about four years old now; why do you not have the next part?"

[Apollymi]

Kimiko was quite used to her father's antics. Still, his calling of her name in the familiar fashion she was used to, as well as his playfulness was something she'd missed while in the other world. Even though she was out to make her name for herself and do her own thing with no strings attached, Ashikaga Kimiko didn't hate her parents. No... she was quite fond of her father and appreciated him and all of his strange ways. Right at the moment, he chose to question her surety about when he would return and Kimiko was still her rather confident self. Had she just been busted sneaking in? Yes. But that didn't mean she was at any sort of disadvantage. "I was locked in my room three days, including the one you left. Gone three days and have been back the last two... or now three. You should still be on vacation of this I am certain, but it isn't as if I'm not happy to see you. Okaerinasai~" she said with a knowing little smirk appearing on her face.

Funnily enough, Kimiko was still holding on to Yugi's hand and having a most casual conversation with her father in the meantime. She might not have remembered this point if it wasn't brought directly to her attention after she addressed the reason she wouldn't be attending school. Was her lack of going to school the reason she'd brought Yugi home with her? Well yes, and no. Would she introduce them? Well... there wasn't much of a choice now was there? "Something like that, yes..." she explained of herself. "I should make the introduction, but again, I wasn't expecting you to be here. This is Aiba Yugi, he's my boyfriend," she announced as casually as she'd mentioned skipping school the next day. "Yugi, this is Ashikaga Tokiomi..." she said formally making that introduction.

Ah, but there was one more topic up for discussion. Ashikaga Tokiomi had indeed been inside of Kimiko's library. His title of choice this day was New Olympus but it was a secondary option, because the one he was looking for was not readily available within the girl's collection. "Papa, one does not simply possess copies of Aeons works," the girl started dramatically, being the meme lord she would always be, even when the reference wouldn't readily be understood. "Assuming you meant to look for Translyvania, the second volume hasn't been released yet... which is the only reason I don't have a copy already," she mentioned huffily. "Also you are good at picking long waits... New Olympus is a good read though," she said in reference to the book he had in his hand as well.

[Bloodedge]

Interestingly enough, the lass had perfect awareness of how much time it had been since his vacation started, and how long it should have been prior to his return. Though he never mentioned how long he would be gone, Tokiomi anticipated that it would be her to understand how much vacation time he allowed himself. Alas, he'd yet to explain why he was back so soon. "I'm here because I was called. You, however, have been out all day. Why bother coming back so late?" he asked with genuine curiosity, leaving his answer oddly vague. Whatever the case, he was just as pleased to see his daughter as she allegedly was to see him. "Tadaima," the man said with a soft smile.

The strange boy being dragged along by the hand was a point of curiosity for Tokiomi, though he wouldn't be left curious for very long. Aiba Yugi was the name given, and his title as Kimiko's boyfriend followed immediately. Oh? He wasn't expecting anything like that, but the hand-holding was almost a dead giveaway. "H'oh? So I see─" said Tokiomi. In the meantime, Yugi bowed. This was undoubtedly a far more awkward scenario than the lad imagined; he'd been expecting to see nothing more than a few workers, if that. "Yoroshiku," the boy spoke.

Tokiomi raised a hand, as if there was nothing more he needed to hear from the male in his daughter's company. There was, of course, but not quite yet. The words he had to share first and foremost, were once again directed toward Kimiko. "Boyfriend, eh? This is the first I'm hearing of you even having interest in someone. It seems rather sudden," he stated, his eyes scanning the lad just once. It remained unclear whether there was an interest or some level of discontent, and the fact that Tokiomi was hardly acknowledging the situation beyond a few passing statements wasn't helping at all. "I'll make dinner arrangements for the three of us tomorrow... or rather, tonight. I would invite your mother, but she stayed in Hokkaido to wait for my return."

Dinner? What was this man talking about? Was Yugi suddenly being expected to attend some sort of interview process over a meal with this man? It certainly seemed so, and in a way, that was exactly the case. Tokiomi expected the details to be shared at a later time. For now, he was actually more concerned with these books being discussed... as well as a media reference he could actually pick up on. "I understood that reference," he pointed out nonchalantly. "Why such a long wait for a single book? These Aeons─ do they lack funding? Transylvania was an interesting enough read that I would even recommend it to your mother, and this Greek mythology-based story is incredible so far. I would be willing to help these writers along, if they need it. So, when is the next chapter's release date?"

[Apollymi]

Kimiko looked at her father and shook her head. He'd returned home because he was called. She also knew about the amount of vacation time he would take at any given time. She used to go on such vacations with him and her mother often. Now, she was more keen to look after herself and give her parents time to themselves. Besides, her interests no longer required adult supervision or anything. She gave a brief sigh before answering the question of why she'd bothered returning home so late. It had a multilayer answer after all. "It is late, and I wouldn't have bothered coming back just to do so, but Kei if he is still following orders is still on vacation. I didn't want anyone worrying about where I was and notifying the authorities unnecessarily. Besides after the movie we decided we wanted to game, I have the best set up for multiplayer. That's all..." she answered honestly. There were several details missing from her answer, but those were hardly the kinds of details she'd ever share with her father.

Soon after, Kimiko got to watch as Yugi rather nervously bowed to her father and he in his usual fashion held up a hand. He would continue his conversation with Kimiko in the manner that she'd gotten used to him previewing perspective new hires in her early years. Strange as such a thing was to her, she supposed this was the first time, she was coming home with a boy in tow she was obviously interested in. That had to stir a few curiosities. "Iie, it isn't that sudden, our meetings were just a bit indirect at first. But finding someone with enough shared interests to be fun was a major undertaking. I wouldn't mention it without being certain," the girl explained of herself. If she was being honest the pair of them had been hanging out for over six months just not in this world's time. Regardless, they'd been indirectly playing tag in video games in this world for a significant amount of time as well.

As for the dinner and the conversation concerning her mother Kimiko could only chuckle. "I expect she did, since you probably didn't expect to have to be here very long. Dinner, huh? do you have plans tomorrow evening Yugi?" she asked the lad. She hadn't expected her father to be here, the least she could do was give the lad an out if dinner was a bit too scary an option for him in the moment.

While she awaited the lad's answer her father mentioned that he understood her most recent reference Kimiko looked genuinely surprised. "Hoh? Been wandering the internet, Papa?" she questioned in a joking manner. Of course, that little snide comment would become outright laughter at the idea of getting faster released from the Aeons. "Hahahahaha!~ That's hilarious," the girl managed seemingly genuinely amused. "That doesn't work that way Papa. The Aeons, don't need funding, believe me I asked. They work on whims. They write what they feel like, when they feel like it. Which means that Aeons fans, are in a constant state of anticipation waiting for the next release of their favored series. And most times the wait is so long, that you're willing to pick up anything else they write just to hold you over... and then you've just created that same problem with the new series. Perpetual agony..." she said of their works. "But they're getting movie and show deals now... so there's always that. We just came from Transylvania, it was great!" she explained though they hadn't seen the entire movie, they'd seen enough of it that she could say without question it was top notch Aeons quality material.

[Bloodedge]

"Well, it seems a bit late for that," Tokiomi stated. Others had already begun to worry in Hoshimi Kei's absence. He did say he'd been called here, and that worry was the exact reason someone had done so. "I had to send Hoshimi-kun on vacation a few hours ago. He was rather upset with the others for letting you slip out unnoticed for more than a few hours. I expect he'll be back from this one in a day." If there was one complaint to present regarding Kimiko's bodyguard, it was that he was a bit too dedicated to his job. Tokiomi had known this for a very long time now, but it was always a good complaint to have for all reasons other than the lad's own mental health.

Yugi was hardly resisting a fit of laughter, as noticed by the businessman. It was too much to hear a media reference from the man's own mouth, while also hearing talk of Aeons... actually releasing new books for once. Moreover, it was always hilarious to see people walk into the trap of reading everything the Aeons had to offer just for a fix. It really was like a drug, getting into their creations. On Tokiomi's face, however, there was a look of sheer disappointment upon discovering that there was no way to hasten the releases. What was the point? He'd already gotten invested in a couple of books, so how long would he have to wait for more of the stories? He wasn't exactly getting any younger. "If you need information and are fine with theorizing, there are a lot of books from the early versions of their works. Transylvania has a few volumes of its earlier concept," Yugi said tentatively. Though he wasn't sure if he was clear to speak, he didn't want to leave that information unspoken. No one deserved the full suffering of waiting on the Aeons if they were willing to ease the pain a bit. Of course, Tokiomi's eyes were drawn to the lad when he spoke. A brow quirked, and then his curious gaze returned to Kimiko. "You don't say. Kimikun, why didn't you say so before?"

There was, of course, the interesting note that these two recently left Transylvania's movie. He'd recently heard of that film's release, as well as how long it was. Now it made sense of why they were out so late. "H'oh? Did it cover the entirety of the first book, at least? It would be a shame for it to stop midway. Also, what say you, Aiba-shounen? You don't seem too nervous to take dinner with the pair of us." Ah yes, starting and ending on a businesslike matter. Such was the way Ashikaga Tokiomi operated in all walks of his life since achieving success. Yugi wasn't too nervous to accept, of course... it would be easier to say he felt declining wasn't even an option. Besides that, it wasn't like he actually had any plans for the next day, so his answer to both Kimiko and her father was a given. "Ou. I'm not usually one for making plans, but I'll take dinner. I'm guessing there's some sort of dress code though," said Yugi, much to Tokiomi's silent amusement.

[Apollymi]

Apparently Kimiko's plans to not get anyone else involved in her comings and goings had been foiled by their rather worrisome staff. According to her father, he'd had to re-order a certain Hoshimi Kei to return to his vacation following the lad being upset that Kimiko had been allowed to slip through the watchful eyes of the rest of the staff. As problematic as that was for a rebellious teen, it wasn't technically the worse problem to have. "At least he's going to finish his vacation. I can't really have him setting a bad example for the rest of staff by never going off-duty properly," Kimiko said in a huff. It wasn't all a loss though. "It's fine... I have someone lined up to share his workload so he doesn't have to worry so much when he's unavailable," Kimiko mentioned in passing. After all, keeping her dad up to date on the business end of things was a pretty normal part of her day.

When addressing the matters of the Aeons and the lack of releases by them, Kimiko could tell her father was disappointed by the news. Of course, she could almost feel smug about it, because she had warned the man to stay out of her library for this reason. Getting into the Aeons' works was tantamount to starting an addiction if you weren't ready for it. And now look at him, suffering the wait just like the rest of them. Ah, but Yugi had relief to offer and spoke up in a manner most casual about the early works of the Aeons for fixes to their semi-constant droughts. When asked about this Kimiko managed to look sheepish. "I didn't mention it because... early Aeons works are a bit less," she was looking for a word to encompass the sheer chaos of their early plot lines and writing styles. And the magnitude of the unbridled smut. "Polished. And some of them are astoundingly different from their proper released works. Transylvania in this case was very different in its early incarnation. New Olympus on the other hand, had a bit more depth the first time, but in exchange for a less impactful execution of certain characters' personalities," she explained. "Those are also pretty easily accessible if you find yourself interested in them," she mentioned. Though she figured it was almost pointless to tell the man to stay out of her library at this point she wouldn't be pointing out that all of those volumes were on her top shelves as part of her first edition collection.

And beyond those points there was the discussion of Transylvania the movie. Tokiomi apparently was left to wonder about what that movie covered. "It was six hours so... it also covered some extras. And clarified some things that couldn't have been properly described by prose alone..." she stated thinking back on Dacian. Stranger still, was the fact that her father wasn't keen on letting Yugi out of dinner and that Yugi himself wasn't disagreeing at all either. Of course, it was pretty obvious when dealing with any of the Ashikagas that there weren't really options, still it was an interesting occurance nonetheless. But what was this... there was the claim being made by the lad that he didn't mind dinner but he assumed there would be some sort of dress code. That would be a problem wouldn't it? "As long as you want to go, the dress code isn't a problem. I'll take care of it~" Kimiko said seemingly happy about the entire thing regardless.

[Bloodedge]

Apparently, Kimiko had another personal assistant lined-up for herself. Tokiomi had been wondering how long it would take, but in knowing the lass and her methods, he understood that an individual would have to possess quite a few qualities she ranked highly before even being considered for such a position. The fact that she spoke of this new person in addition to Hoshimi Kei, instead of as his replacement, meant only that Tokiomi himself chose properly before. "I'm intrigued. I look forward to meeting this new person of yours when they arrive," he said.

Why hadn't these other snippets of information from the Aeons been mentioned by Kimiko? They were less polished. Well, that was a given, wasn't it? The boy in her company just said they were early versions of the Aeons' material, so he expected rough drafts at best. That was no excuse to leave him uninformed after he'd been so clearly sucked into the plot! "You were going to leave me ignorant forever, and that's all the reason you have? Shame, Kimikun. Papa no kissu!" the man said while aiming a sharp glare at the lass. Why did this moment seem so serious? That was all Yugi could think, but there was an underlying air of... something else. What was it? Whatever it was, he was beginning to realize that his own family had likely been the abnormal one, and these filthy rich members of the Ashikaga family were probably just a normal group at the heart of it all.

Tokiomi was carefully shutting the book in his hand, when a maid stepped into the room. Of course, this was Kimiko's personal wing of the mansion. It was one of her maids as such, bringing a single glass of red wine into the man's hand from the East wing. "Iroiro arigato gozaimashita. Enjoy the rest of your night," he said to the woman as dismissal. With that, Tokiomi swirled the wine under his nose, taking a small sip thereafter. He seemed quite pleased with the glass right away. "Oishii." Ah, but this meeting couldn't be all business, boyfriends and wine-sipping. There was a slight inconsistency in Kimiko's tale. A midnight showing of Transylvania's second half would have ended at 3am, and it was just barely that time at the moment. They may have gone to see the film, but certainly not all of it could have been seen before they came here... holding hands and slipping in under cover of darkness during Tokiomi's vacation. "That movie's credit sequence must be abysmally long," the man commented, almost cheekily, while offering his daughter a sip from his own glass.

There was a dress code, judging by the context clues Yugi had to work with. He wouldn't have to concern himself with finding some sort of fancy suit though, as Kimiko claimed to have it covered. He would have spent some time making a plea to avoid that situation, but he had already given up on the idea of rejecting the clothes she intended to buy earlier. Since that didn't happen when expected, perhaps the purchase of a single suit could work as leverage to avoid a sudden shift to an expensive wardrobe. "Guess I can't really say no. I don't exactly have anything resembling formal attire, and I doubt the standard here is anything less," he said. "It isn't," Tokiomi confirmed immediately.

[Apollymi]

Kimiko's father was looking forward to her new hire, that much was always the case. She did have interesting habits when it came to picking her own employees. The job title she was technically filling was Chief Security Administrator. But what it encompassed was being Kimiko's on the go security which was basically a person with a license who could take her from place to place but also knew the details of her schedule and life well enough to plan for potential security threats. "Hai hai, it might be a bit. He doesn't technically know he's being hired yet,~" the lass mentioned in a devilish sort of way. Well, she had to have fun someway.

Apparently, Kimiko's given excuse wasn't one which would be allowed to pass. Her father had truly been taken in by the Aeons and their body of work at least in part. She was given what could be considered a tumultuous glare and shamed for not being the one to share the information herself. A scoff escaped the lass as she turned her head at a sharp angle. "It's not like I want Papa kissu," she said with a face that was obviously pouty in its disposition. It was... playful? Loving? Some crazy form of inside joke? A shared thing between a girl and her dad which obviously crossed space and time. It was a cute parent child interaction, and one very rarely witnessed by other people. Yugi was a rare person indeed.

One of Kimiko's maids entered gave her father a glass of wine and he closed her book and accepted it before dismissing the lass for the night. Kimiko couldn't help but chuckle just a tad, such was her father's way. And he seemed to enjoy the wine he'd sipped upon in this particular moment. Ah, but they weren't yet home free. They never would be. Kimiko did mention that her father almost always knew the sorts of things she was up to, and this time he mentioned it as if he was calling the lass on her inability to be at the movie for as long as it would have lasted. A smile crossed the girl's face as she accepted the glass from her father. "Spoilers." Kimiko mentioned before having her sip of wine. Her eyes would widen it was quite good. "Sugoi!~" she stated before handing it back. Still the lass had told no lies, she wouldn't be giving her dad full details on her afternoon but she also wouldn't lie. She'd gone to see the movie, though she'd not seen all of it, that hardly mattered.

[Bloodedge]

"Hoho~" Tokiomi crowed on the girl's behalf. She'd come quite far to be so certain of a new hire, though he supposed such had always been the case. "One of those, eh? I'm even more excited," he said. Hoshimi Kei had been his own choice. Finding out that Kimiko had finally selected her own personal assistant of sorts, he could be nothing but thrilled to see another showing of Kimiko's business eye as he'd call it.

There was yet another thing Tokiomi was excited to see. This boy in Kimiko's company was interesting enough, and quite the enigma as far as Tokiomi was concerned. What made that daughter of his accept someone as her equal? Was he actually considered her equal? That would be quite a feat, in all reality. The personality he knew of his daughter was very difficult for most individuals to deal with, and did not lend very easily to a 50/50 split of any sort, so Tokiomi was keen to find out where this boy stood in their alleged relationship.

Thoughts of this type were not allowed for very long. It had been a rather long time since Tokiomi had a proper, casual chat with his daughter. One would think she wouldn't react to his denied 'papa kissu' so quickly, even though he doubted it was real. Of course, he was going to indirectly call her bluff. "Is that so? Well, since you don't want that... Papa. No. Hug." Firm was his most recent proclamation─ about as firm as Kimiko's stubbornness when being confronted about her lack of movie-watching. Regardless, Tokiomi thought that had to be one hell of an intermission midway through the film. Spoilers, she said; what a load of crap. Oh well. It didn't matter what she chose to do with her free time, so long as she wasn't physically or mentally endangered. Since she obviously wasn't either of those right now, he could move on without pestering her too much. "You like the wine? It's the newest batch. I've been working on a recipe using plums and oranges for a few batches now, and it's finally starting to turn into something. I swear, I'll make the greatest wine to ever exist with an orange one day; I just need to find the proper base."

[Apollymi]

Her father's laughter about her current choice made Kimiko quite happy. She knew the man would be interested in the kind of person she'd choose for herself, and that he also found amusing the way she went about stress-testing new hires. All was done with the utmost care so that the lass could be utterly comfortable in her choices. One couldn't be too careful with long term business investments. "Mm-hm, I'll be sure to keep you posted," the lass mentioned.

Ah, the matter of her boyfriend. Kimiko was quite certain that Tokiomi wouldn't be too sure about it initially. At the very least her father never actually dissuaded her of her choices. Instead he seemed more interested in how she came to such decisions. As long as Kimiko was happy and healthy her father never really seemed to care too much about what she did. They had a friendly parent-child relationship. In light of this, the rather casual response of not wanting Papa kissu, was shifted to one of Papa not giving hugs. That wasn't a tolerable change at all. "That isn't fair. I haven't seen you in forever you have to give me hugs..." the lass said seeming to be properly pouty now. She hadn't seen her father in quite a long time technically, he wouldn't be leaving this wing without a hug, of this she was certain.

Stranger still, was the fact that the man abandoned questioning her movie watching habits. This was to be expected since she didn't give extra details herself of why she'd skipped out. It wasn't like she was going to discuss such things with her father. Still she could fill in a few missing blanks. Regardless his mixture of wine he offered was quite good. He claimed he was going to make the greatest wine ever some day. "It really is good. You should make sure to send me a bottle. I think it would be nice with dessert," she said of the wine. As for the man's aspirations she could only encourage him, after all... one should actually follow their dreams. "Hai hai, Papa. I have faith you can, gambatte!" the lass said with a soft smile on her face.

[Bloodedge]

"Arigatou gozaimasu," said the man who very much anticipated the meeting of this new employee. As for the more appropriate reaction to his neglect, Tokiomi had nothing real to say. He scoffed playfully, and that was all. He had half a mind to actually refrain from hugging the girl, since she chose to be so stubborn. Ah, but that probably wouldn't be something he actually did. It would be too difficult a thing for Tokiomi himself to resist. Yes, it had been quite some time since they'd seen one another, though not nearly as long as Kimiko seemed to feel it was. Whatever the case, he was still casually sipping wine and enjoying the time of company.

She wanted a bottle, did she? Well, he happened to have made arrangements for that already, just in case she enjoyed the flavor when tested. In fact, that had been one of the things he had to thank her maid for upon receiving the very glass he drank from now. "Harada-kun should have a case sent up to your door within the next few hours. If she has nothing else to do, I believe she's off handling that now," he mentioned. On this occasion of success, Tokiomi saw fit to send the lass multiple bottles for herself, her workers─ whatever she preferred doing with them. She could even give one or more bottles to the boy in her company, for all he cared. "I believe I'll make those reservations for six. That should be enough time for you both to prepare, no? I assume you don't intend to pull an all-nighter again while keeping company."

[Apollymi]

Thanks from her father because she'd keep him posted. That was pretty standard for Kimiko, still she couldn't help but be happy. Though for the man before her, they hadn't been apart that long, for Kimiko time had been much longer. She might as well enjoy being a spoiled only child while she could. Such would be obvious when she asked for a bottle of her own. But what was this? Her father had already taken care of such thing... having an entire case sent up to her room. "Ariagtou Papa!~" the girl said, strangely she was truly happy about the extra wine. She often used such things herself, or gave them away as presents when she was feeling generous. She'd definitely be keeping a few bottles for herself for quite some time, and maybe passing one along to a certain new hire when she saw him again. Yes, that all sounded pretty good.

Moving on from that, Tokiomi went on to make the claim that he'd be making their reservations for six in the evening. And made a comment about the lass not pulling an all nighter while having company. A grin crossed her face as she removed her phone from her pocket and set an alarm for four pm so she and Yugi had time to get ready before then. As for her general plans well... they were a bit askew. "Yui doesn't get in until 9, so we'd have to be up at least until at least then. I'll probably have a nap at some point, and I will try not to pull an allnighter twice in a row... No promises though, that game is calling my name~" the lass mentioned. They had a solid set of hours for playing and amusing themselves. "Anything else, Papa?" she asked of the man. She was happy to see her father, but she hadn't forgotten how much fun she was planning on having by actually having someone to play her games with who was also a reliable person and a source of great amusement for her. Thinking about it now made her giddy.

[Bloodedge]

"Iia," Tokiomi said flatly, finding no need for the girl's gratitude. He was always going to send over a new wine if he was actually satisfied with it. Satisfaction rarely came though, sadly. Every batch had something missing, some critical thing that would truly elevate the wine's bouquet. This one was a higher quality than most attempts thus far, so he felt comfortable sharing it freely. Still, it wasn't quite where he wanted it to be. One day.

Yui, Kimiko's go-to seamstress, was not due until nine in the morning. Tokiomi expected that information to accompany an all-nighter from the lass, but her claim of taking a nap between was a refreshing surprise. Ah, but there were no promises. He doubted she brought some boy along, claiming a relationship with him, just to wind up taking a nap. Well... not for any conventional reasons, anyway. "That good a game, is it?" he wondered. It was always interesting how immersed she got in those things. Tokiomi himself had some desire to try a few video games out, if only for another potential bonding experience... but he'd yet to truly discover the appeal. Maybe one game, one day, would properly catch his eye. Nevertheless, she seemed excited enough that he couldn't bear holding her up any longer. Youth was so precious, and to be in the business world at such a tender age, Tokiomi believed all moments of fun were absolute necessity. As such, his free hand was used to shoo the pair away. "Nothing else. I just wanted to make sure you were alright, and do it with my own eyes. You two have fun; I'll be meeting you both in the main hall this evening at five."

[Apollymi]

Her father shook off her thanks. He generally did though. Wine as a present was pretty rare from him, but it was his personal passion and something he worked on frequently. She found herself being strangely alright with accepting it as a gift from him due to the fact that it was something that brought him a great deal of personal joy. Added to the fact that gifts from her father rarely felt like bribes, and the lass was set up to be a pretty happy individual and all of her personal habits began to make more and more sense. Beyond this point though there was the game that brought her an extreme point of happiness and fun that she'd been quite missing. When asked about it, she would share what she thought of it, in the way she always did. Brutally honest, "It is without a doubt the best game of the last decade. A bit too immersive, but too much fun to not get lost in~" What an oddly pointed statement. Well, Kimiko was a troll and nothing about that would ever change from moment to moment. She'd tell the truth cryptically and find it humorous to have included it in such a way.

Having shared all necessary information, Kimiko waited wondering if her father had anything else to say for the day. She realized she probably had things pretty easy, her father wasn't a particularly harsh individual and she was spoiled. She got away with a lot of things, including being able to come and go as she pleased fairly often. Right here and now, the man claimed he'd only wanted to check on her and wished to do so himself. That was sweet. He also went on to shoo the pair off claiming they should have fun and giving them a meeting time for later. "Hai hai, Oyasuminasai~" Kimiko chimed letting go of Yugi's hand for just a moment mostly to steal that hug from her father she'd been talking about in previous moments. If she succeeded in that she'd wrap her arms around him for about five seconds before offering the man and smile and scurrying off. She'd grab Yugi's hand once more and lead him towards that elevator only to have it open almost instantly after a button was pushed so they could both step inside.

[Bloodedge]

This game they were playing received an unusual amount of praise from Kimiko, all in a single sentence. She'd previously given video games high ratings, albeit in a more judgmental way than this. Moreover, he remembered quite the ringing endorsement from his wife as well... though that was a different tale entirely, and prior to the game's completed development. Hell, that was in the earliest stages, even. "That's quite the endorsement from you, Kimikun. I did hear it was going to be a marvel of modern advancement within its industry, hence my agreement to fund it whenever necessary. I'm glad you found something so enjoyable as a result," he stated in earnest.

It seemed no immediate departure would be allowed. Tokiomi didn't plan on moving right away, at least not until he finished his wine. Still, it was well within his daughter's demeanor to force a hug upon him, even though he'd rejected one previously. Ah well; he never meant it anyway. He was always going to accept his daughter's embrace, as he did the moment it was offered by hooking his free arm firmly around the lass. "Hai. Oyasuminasai. Papa kissu," he said whilst pecking the girl's forehead with his lips, shooing her and the boy off again thereafter. With that, Tokiomi remained sitting long enough to finish his wine, while Yugi... was apparently being dragged into an elevator leading up multiple floors. The young male entered, slightly baffled by the exchange he'd just witnessed. At long last, he had something of merit to say. "So that was... a normal family interaction, huh?"

[Apollymi]

Tokiomi seemed to understand what his daughter was getting at by her statements. She remembered seeing this game in early development and finding it to be fantastical in a way she hadn't ever thought of before. What was more, even her mother found the basis of this game interesting and took a great deal of interest in its development. So much so, that Tokiomi himself invested funding in it quite a bit, which she was well aware of. Strangely neither of her parents played video games to her knowledge, so she thought of it as more of a mental exercise in creating cash by spending it than anything else. Regardless, her father had nothing but pointedly kind words to offer instead of anything else, seeming to appreciate the amount of fun the teen had with the game. "Everything said about it is an understatement. But it's definitely fun for me... and people like me~" the girl said. She knew that others who enjoyed high fantasy and freedom previously unknown in such games.

Beyond that point Kimiko did succeed in 'stealing' a hug from her father. Well, it probably didn't count as stealing when she considered that he opened his arm for her and went on to place a kiss on her forehead. He also wished her a good night. There was something about that sort of thing that always made the lass happy and set her heart at ease. Kimiko never thought anything of her family life and her father's absolute craziness but whatever the case, she would soon find herself within the elevator with Yugi who finally had something to say. "Normal? Was that actually considered normal to other people? It's pretty normal for me... Papa is always like that," she said pensively. Of course she had no measure for her own life, but she assumed a certain amount of sarcasm though the lad's quietness didn't hint at that. After five floors of travel a gentle ding would be heard as the doors opened up to her private floor. She'd continue guiding the lad along by the hand. She was seemingly pleased with her day. And, there was gaming on the horizon all was good.

[Bloodedge]

The strangest thing happened as two teens entered the elevator. Yugi turned about while inside, and once he did, there was a moment of unexpected eye contact between himself and Ashikaga Tokiomi. He couldn't make heads or tails of it, really. Those narrow eyes─ were they narrowed purposely in judgement, or curiosity? He had just over twelve hours to find out what it truly was, but that locking of gazes did not cease until the elevator doors blocked each person's path of sight to the other.

With that strange staring contest out of the way, Yugi heaved a sigh of slight relief. Dinner was going to be awkward; he could feel it. At least that wasn't something to be concerned about for over half a day. He could currently keep his mind on the upcoming gaming experience, which he already had a few ideas about. The journey to whatever gaming setup Kimiko had would not be very long, he imagined, but there was more to discuss in the meantime. Apparently, the exchange he'd just witnessed was at least normal for them. At all of seventeen years old, Yugi would realize he did live in the strangest situation within his own family. "Huh. Weird. I figured your family situation would have been just... a little more like what mine was. I guess that's expecting a bit too much, huh?" he mused. With the elevator opening again, Yugi let Kimiko take the lead, as it seemed she was going to anyway. It wasn't as if he knew where to go, and moreover... it didn't seem he would have had the option to follow of his own accord anyway─

[Apollymi]

Ah, the stare between the men in her life was no doubt in Kimiko's mind a matter of curiosity. She imagined that her kind of personality would breed a certain question in the minds of her family members. This would most directly be summed up as, how does this work? But that didn't matter for the most part. Kimiko knew herself to be particularly domineering in most cases, but to find someone who was equally so was a bit of a chore. Apparently, she'd managed it in her own mind at least, and she could do nothing but be content about it.

Moving on from that apparently, Yugi had expected Kimiko's family life to be more like his own. Hm, what did that mean exactly? Well, she remembered from childhood that the prime minister had been pretty secretive about his kids. Not at all doting from what she saw of him in the brief moments he'd appeared. "Probably expecting a bit too much, yeah. Papa is a bit different from how he appears outside. The same is true of Mama... though in a very different way..." she explained of family. Of course, her mother was outwardly just as ill-tempered in appearance as her daughter was. She also had exceedingly high standards which weren't necessarily understood by any, including Kimiko herself. But... she did feel like her mother didn't necessarily hate her, so that was good enough for the lass. As they walked out of the elevator, Kimiko led the boy down a large hallway. It was gently carpeted, with high walls and elaborate doors on either side. Many were skipped before she stopped before the door which was the target of their early morning adventure. Where would they stop? Right in front of a large slightly different colored door. It would open to reveal, an exceedingly large bedroom. Ah, they hadn't gone to Kimiko's game room, she'd gone to her bedroom. A large four post bed right in the middle with a mattress size of king that was larger than normal. She'd flick her hand over for the dimmer which controlled the room's lighting and turn it up a bit so they could see as they moved around. Near the door she began her work slipping out of her jacket and shoes. "This is my room, you can make yourself comfy..." she explained as she shut the door behind them. The floors were also warm to the touch and strangely in the middle of the bed was a large keyboard with a mousepad attached. Moreover there were no visible screens in this room either... There were also several doors attached to the room. One of which led directly to her ensuite bathroom. The other led to her closet, which was more or less several other rooms put together. There was also one connected directly to a small study on the other side of her bed. Not that any of that mattered for what they were here for. Beside her bed was also a small refridgerator filled with juice, bottled water, and snack type bento boxes for her general consumption. Strangely all the things found in there were also dated so she'd know of their freshness.

[Bloodedge]

Indeed, he'd missed the mark by quite a bit when assuming their parents were anything alike. Had they been similar, he'd have been put off by Tokiomi in the first few seconds of their meeting. He was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. He wondered briefly if Kimiko's mother fit the presumption he had, but she quickly put that theory to rest as well. "Huh. I keep being surprised by things lately. Not sure if I like it or not," the lad chattered while stepping out of the elevator. What he saw immediately afterwards, was a hall about as long as his childhood dreams. Of course they would be taking quite the trip down said hall, clearing Yugi for any walks around the block he had planned this week. What use were all those extravagant doors, and high halls on the fifth floor of a building? Surely there were only a few people willing, or allowed, to be so high in a place like this.

While being led through the upper floor, Yugi soon discovered that their destination was not at all some gaming room as he expected. In fact, the room Kimiko entered first had the clear feature of a rather startling bed, though it maintained a light-dimming feature he would have expected in a theater setup. The lass went ahead with the removal of excess articles, urging Yugi to do the same. What level of comfort was to be considered 'comfortable' here? Shoes were off, naturally, but he was then left tugging at his top and looking around, almost as if lost in a mall somewhere. "Define comfortable. I'm not even sure if this is supposed to be called a room; it's the size of some people's houses," he said. Of course this one room was much larger than the place he called home; that was just a box. Still, he'd seen many houses much more modest than this single bedroom.

[Apollymi]

Apparently, Yugi had been left surprised more often than not in recent times. He claimed not to know how he felt about the situation. Kimiko gave it a bit of a passing thought, "Well, as long as it isn't negative, it is probably okay to like it~" she claimed. Such was the sort of advice she took on her own. Any situation that didn't upset her, fell within a category of things she liked. But she was also a lot less complicated than a lot of people would ever believe. But none of that mattered at present. Right now, Kimiko was just a bit excited, to be back in her room with a shared gaming experience on the horizon.

Inside of the large bedroom, the raven haired lass removed articles of clothing and got comfortable. Within seconds her phone was within her hand and a silent alarm was being silenced. She walked over to her bedside refrigerator and removed a bottle of water while setting her phone down on top of a lengthy wireless charger. What was she doing in the moment? Well, opening it and taking a sip of water along with a couple of pills right on top of the box. Once done she looked to the lad tugging on his shirt and looking around as if bewildered. "Eh? Well comfortable is in a state of relaxation. It's just us... no one is going to come up here while I am home anyway..." she said giving it a bit of thought. "And it's big, but that is a pretty recent change. Part of that remodel... I needed the room," she said with a smile. "Water? Juice... assorted snack box? Have whatever..." she offered what was hers to the lad with her without much extra thought. In her own space the lass gained a level of comfort that would remain always. She stripped away the layers of her clothing including her skirt and shirt finally crawling towards the center of her bed. She sat around most of the time in just underwear, that wouldn't really change here and now. There were so many questions and things to take care of. Would he prefer a controller or a mouse and keyboard? Which screen would he prefer? Would he want a face scan? Oh, the gaming situation could go a bit crazy. Still within the center of her bed along with her personal keyboard and mouse there was a remote which controlled a great number of regular things in the room.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi wasn't so sure he could like something just because it wasn't a negative. If nothing else, he supposed it was always acceptable in his mind to remain indifferent, so long as doing so didn't create another negative situation of its own. "I think I'll just... shove the whole thought in a box, shove the box in another box, mail it to myself, and smash it with a hammer," he said. Still, Yugi's eyes were darting about the room as if he needed to find something grounding nearby. What use was all this space? What was the room like before the alleged remodel? The questions were quite real in the lad's mind, but he felt the answers were on a list of things that would only create more questions.

Kimiko's answer didn't do much for him. The fact that no one else would be arriving was something he'd already assumed, but that didn't exactly make the space itself more comfortable. Oh well; there was only so much comfort he could ever fathom in a situation like this. In the end, he chose to discard his top, tossing it to the floor without a second thought. He could move about in just a pair of capris and enjoy himself... so he thought. Maybe he'd be wrong, but it was worth a shot regardless. "When in Rome, I guess," Yugi commented. It took nothing for Kimiko to flaunt about her own room in lacey undergarments─ that seemed about normal enough. Actually, it seemed a bit more fitting to how he met her in the other world. "So the Miki thing came from... this? Y'know, I always thought to bring up the fact that Necromancer gear is one of the rare types that can be full-coverage for female Avatars. I just didn't know how to address it."

As for comfort, the lad chose to seat himself at the bed's edge, off to one side. The thought of Kimiko having entire assorted snack boxes in her personal fridge wasn't even a shock to him after everything else realized this day, but one thing did come as a surprise. "... Eh? I'm guessing energy drink isn't on the list. More importantly, why the bedroom? And where are the screens you mentioned? Is it the crazy type that rises from the floor or whatever?"

[Apollymi]

Ah, there was the claim he couldn't just like something because he didn't dislike it. Yugi in true 'him' fashion would go on to make a reference to a certain kid's movie which would cause the raven haired lass to giggle and without hesitation finish the reference. "It's brilliant!~" she proclaimed. What fun this lad was, she couldn't really explain why she found it to be so much fun but it was truly.

Beyond this point, she encouraged his comfort, and he'd soon be sitting at the edge of one side of her bed, in just his capri pants looking rather interesting to the lass. She cut her eyes in his direction, did she always like shirtless guys? Maybe. But right at the moment she was quite sure this was a look she appreciated, she shook her head to free herself of the thought before she allowed herself too much thinking time for goodness. Now however there was a question, did Miki come from this? The lass was strutting around her own room in just her undergarments as if it was normal. And in this case it was, "Probably. Yeah, Necromancers as a group usually have more clothes but I am in general more comfortable this way. Besides, she had on a full skirt and the like at first, and then... Akashi happened," she mused. "Also you could have just said, but the softness of Kou probably wouldn't have allowed for it... I like being comfortably close to naked," she explained of herself in general. Her complete change to high class lingerie came at the hands of the Dragon Emperor, not that she minded. In fact that upgrade to her clothing was one of her favorite things to have happened.

There was a bit more to address though, as Kimiko sat in the middle of her bed getting rather close to comfortable, she found now had the remote in her hand while she pulled her mouse and keyboard into her lap. Where were the screens, he wished to know, and why the bedroom. "Close but floor things would be impractical for me..." she said in answer to his assumption that the screens would pop up from the floor. "You might want to slide in a bit more..." she mentioned casually. The screens were instead a part of the upper part of her bed. In fact the whole thing was wired into everything she needed, and three screens would descend around them using the curtains of her bed as minor blockers for extra light. Each one could be turned on with a single button on her remote which she used to turn them all on. Each one was connected to a system which was underneath her bed tucked into drawers along their cardinal sides, which had within them extras of the things she could use, including controllers and keyboard and mouse set ups. "As for why the bedroom, because these machines are the ones authorized for Kaiba Tech so they are the ones I was using to play," she mentioned. "Besides, it's most comfortable in here..." she explained of her choice. "Energy drink? Like coffee? We'd have to go to the kitchen for that..." she said curiously, almost certain she was missing something. Though she was quite the late night gamer, she didn't often consume anything other than non-carbonated drinks. Beyond that, coffee if she needed energy but that wasn't something she thought about too often.

[Bloodedge]

"Of course it is! I came up with it myself!" Yugi joked. Though physical comfort was a bit of a stretch, he could always take solace in... well, the memes they were constantly throwing at each other's faces. Moving on though, it seemed Kimiko believed her original gear as the Avatar Miki was far more modest than what Akashi had given her. While that was true in all technicality, Yugi had to disagree for a few choice reasons. "Well yeah, she had on a skirt... but that's pretty much the only difference. Well... there's the more open top now, but still─ legs on full display from what I remember," he argued. 'Comfortably close to naked' seemed about accurate for the girl's preference, considering her current attire... or lack thereof. If Yugi had anything to say about it, he'd claim partial nudity as far superior to full nudity. There was always something about things being left to imagination, at least to some extent.

Floor things would be impractical. Yes, of course they would be. These floors were obviously heated, and there likely would have been some complications with having screens rise from them as well. Instead, they were descending from above, alongside the curtains meant to surround Kimiko's bed. Ah yes, only the most minor showing of extravagance from the girl. Three descending large screens, curtains normally meant to veil functioning as theater backdrops, and a full setup of devices to utilize when gaming. While retracting his legs into the space of the mattress, Yugi scoffed. "Sure you don't need a few more in here?" he questioned. Following that, came the comparison of energy drinks to coffee. This was another of those moments, wasn't it? Yugi already believed Kimiko had never, not even once, partaken of an energy drink. "Well... yes, but no? I mean like Red Bull, Monster, even G-Fuel or something. Coffee really doesn't feel the same, and you have no idea what I'm even talking about, do you?"

[Apollymi]

"Very nice! You should be proud!~" she congratulated. Of course, between them the jokes would always be freely given. Even while the lad seemed to be a bit aghast at her rather lavish layout. Regardless he was apparently fine to move right along to her rather skimpy outfits as a Necromancer in the other world. He claimed that there wasn't too much of a difference to start with other than the lack of skirt and lowered top. Her legs and their off set stockings were always visible. "I mean, yeah. But it's not like I have a lot of legs or anything, them being on full display just kept me from looking too small..." she explained of her clothing choices. It was easy to make the hemlines of clothing change your physical appearance by a lot. It was how she managed to hide her rear after all so she had some idea of how they worked.

Moving right along, now within the confines of the screen the lad had a bit of commentary to share which she was quite sure was sarcastic in nature. Perhaps it was best she introduced him to this room first, as her actual game room probably would have made him hyperventilate. "I was thinking of adding one to the top so I could comfortably watch tv while laying on my back. But, I don't think I would be super comfortable sleeping with something suspended over my head like that..." she said casually. Was she joking though? Maybe, and then again, maybe not.

Ah, but now they were onto something different. Apparently, Yugi wanted to know about energy drinks and what the lass knew about them. Now she was thinking about it, the things he named didn't all seem completely unfamiliar but they did in a very specific way. "Eh? Well, I thought Red Bull was some kind of beer. I have no idea what Monster is... but I have at least heard of G-Fuel," she said softly. "I uh... didn't know it was an energy drink. I first heard about it in a stream and they said everyone knew what it was... and I didn't and I didn't want to ask.... and I was a bit preoccupied so I couldn't look it up and I didn't get around to it," she explained of herself, managing to look completely sheepish at the time. It was always strange to admit she randomly didn't know something.

[Bloodedge]

Kimiko's perception of her own physique was very different from the one Yugi had. Maybe his degenerate mind was doing just the opposite of any favors on his end, but the notion that a display of her legs made her look less 'small' was strange to him. "Eh? How the hell is that supposed to work? You never looked any taller to me; I just see... legs. There isn't even a profile to it, they're just this eye-catching thing. Oh!" Suddenly, it seemed as if he had a legitimate thought regarding her point. He didn't, of course, but the idiotic thought in his mind would be shared regardless. "Is that the secret? You pull people in with the legs, and they think you're suddenly taller because they've lowered themselves to get a look? Yeah, that's definitely it! Puzzle solved!"

A bit of banter was actually doing a lot of heavy lifting for how comfortable the lad was in this space. When they were chatting so casually, he could almost forget where they were, no matter the venue. With that level of comfort in place, he began to think about Kimiko's alleged desire for an overhead monitor. That... wasn't as much a joke as it probably should have been. Even so, he could do nothing but snicker. "Dude, that's the laziest expression of privilege I've ever heard," he harped.

While the girl spoke about her lack of knowledge regarding energy drinks, Yugi perused his options for devices. In the end, he went with the most classic choice in his mind: the console controller. As much as he enjoyed mouse and keyboard, this selection felt a bit more natural while sitting anywhere but a desk. Somehow, her entire spiel seemed all too familiar. It was something like an exchange they had earlier in their outing this night, which mentally brought Yugi back to previous events. "Just like the fountain drink you obviously didn't understand, right?" he teased. "Red Bull was a beer company or something, yeah. They became more famous for energy drinks, Monster became the edgier, more popular Red Bull, and G-Fuel... well, it's Gamer Fuel. That shit's just the best."

[Apollymi]

Kimiko's explanation about the difference in how she was perceived didn't seem to sit well with Yugi. Or rather he seemed to be working his way through it right up until the moment of his claim that he'd figured it out. According to the man next to her, she never looked any bigger to him, that it was just legs. But then he made the claim that, she was pulling people in with her legs and thus making them lower themselves. He even used a certain catchphrase she'd heard him utter before when figuring out some great mystery. "Hoh? You've got me all figured out do you? Well, that knowledge won't help you!~" she said with a false bravado. To be fair, none of this was true at all, it was just a funny thing to say and agree to, and kept them both at ease and joking with each other so why would she change it?

Ah, then there was the joke about the monitor over her bed, which was apparently taken as intended though it wasn't necessarily a joke. The snicker that came from Yugi came with the assertion that it was the laziest expression of privilege he'd ever heard. "Eh? Don't we all do things that make our lives easier. I just want to be comfy watching tv from any angle I feel like it, without giving myself a stiff neck... " she said as if this was even remotely reasonable as a request.

And now more teasing. Her words were enough to give Yugi a great deal of ammunition. He'd figured out that she didn't understand the fountain drink thing. His teasing brought a gentle red tint to her face as she turned her head and sighed. "Well, I still figure it is very different from the image I have of it in my head. But it isn't really my fault... not like I've ever had them before," she said as she pulled her keyboard into her lap. "Left, right or middle?" she asked of the lad giving him the choice of which screen he wanted to go along with his choice of a controller. Beyond that he explained the differences between energy drinks and Kimiko herself was left gently nodding her understanding. "Ah, gamer fuel... that makes way more sense than anything I was thinking. I wonder if that means that limited edition GG stuff I got would be similar to that. In which case, I do have energy drinks I just wasn't really aware of what it was because reasons..." she said with a nod. Of course, there was a specific version of such a thing she had, it came with two starter cups and over 100 servings of BlueLotus Bunny Berry, drink which was caffeinated despite Kimiko having no idea what it was. The collectors items were in her trophy room, behind the door to the left of her bed.

[Bloodedge]

That knowledge wouldn't help him? What foolish talk that was! He was the official victor now; her secret was exposed for all eternity... or so went the thought in Yugi's mind. "Bwahahaha!" he laughed in the most exaggerated manner possible, holding a hand over his face with a single eye peering through his fingers. "You think not, eh? You know nothing! With this information, you will be brought to your knees at long last!" His laughter continued as the deepest bellow, drawn out for what even he thought was far too long. Eventually though, it stopped abruptly with the clearing of Yugi's throat.

At some point, there was a line between easy living and frivolous spending. Kimiko was definitely riding that line with most of her choices. In this case however, Yugi felt she'd jumped right over it to the other side. "So a ceiling TV is the answer? I think the easier answer would be... I dunno, a neck pillow or something," he surmised. Why the first thought was a ceiling overhead, he couldn't even fathom. No matter; he was too amused to be concerned with all that. Kimiko confirmed her lack of understanding about fountain drinks, which was about the most entertaining thing he'd heard in several hours. He wondered if she still didn't quite get it; perhaps she'd hazard a question if she didn't.

Regardless of all that, she did apparently have some form of energy drink without even realizing until now. She mentioned some sort of "GG" stuff she'd obtained at some point, which registered as only one thing in Yugi's mind. "GG? Like advance.gg? That's pretty much G-Fuel, yeah. I'm guessing you haven't drank it yet, if you don't know it's an energy drink. What did you think it was?"

[Apollymi]

Yugi's laughter made Kimiko chuckle. Did he really think this sort of bravado would get him anywhere? Well apparently yes. He claimed this was the end of her, and that he now had all the necessary information to bring her to her knees. "Well, you had that information ages ago, Daddy. But whatever makes you happy..." the lass said in a manner most cheeky.

Little did she know that would be one of her few victories this day. According to the lad at her side, it would have been easier for a single person to get neck pillow than to afford multiple tvs for the sort of laziness that Kimiko was apparently living with. "I mean it was a possible answer. Neck pillows are weird..." she surmised as if it was a reasonable stance to take. Even so, she was nothing but amused as well, it seemed that they could at least have fun, even when her outlandish lifestyle was the topic of conversation. This would of course, include the normal things she didn't understand because of her rather strange upbringing. "So, like this whole fountain drink thing... it isn't like an actual water feature fountain or a fondue fountain is it? It's very much not that and my imagination as led me astray today..." she murmured softly. Yes, this was throwing herself under the bus, but she'd rather have such a thing cleared up than to end up with it in her search history to be judged later.

As for other things she didn't understand the GG she was talking about was familiar to the lad and fell into the category of drink he was looking for. "No, I haven't drank it. I bought the kit because it was limited edition and supported a creative I am obsessed with, it didn't matter to me what it was. I figured it was some sort of powdered juice, but the flavor wasn't obvious enough for it to make sense to me," she said softly. No she'd never drank it, it was a trophy for her. That didn't mean she wouldn't though, she'd just had no reason to do so before now. Besides the flavor 'Bunny Berry' wasn't something she recognized as something she should drink. What kind of fruit is a bunny berry? Well, in truth it was a mixed berry caffinated fruit drink, but Kimiko was confused by that so she was a bit tentative about trying it on her own.

[Bloodedge]

Why didn't he expect the sort of response he received in the end? Frankly, Yugi himself basically set up the scenario for Kimiko to offer such a tease. "I─" he stammered. In all technicality, she was right; he'd even managed such a thing earlier this very day. "Well. Yeah. I guess so," he said before clearing his throat.

Right then, moving on without stumbling too much was probably the best option, wasn't it? Neck pillows were apparently weird. . . Sure! He could nod to that, if only to avoid blurting out something that would incriminate him somehow. Wait─ was there anything incriminating to be done? Probably not, but the moment certainly made him believe just the opposite. Ah, it seemed he didn't have to give much consideration to these things. The subject of fountain drinks had made a grand return, and with it came the knowledge that she still didn't understand what they were. He wouldn't laugh. He actually didn't see much reason to laugh at all─ especially considering how could he thought it would be to have a literal fountain of cola. Someone should invent that thing! "It isn't, but I kinda wish it was. It's really just a machine that holds different drinks in it, and there are little spouts that pour them out into your cup. I'm not sure why they put the word 'fountain' on it though, now that you mention it. . ."

One might wonder why no one had invested in an actual fountain of soft drink by now, but maybe Yugi would see such a thing in his time. Hell, maybe he'd introduce the other world to something like that; he could probably make it happen with his own abilities. He'd even put energy drinks in it, though perhaps he wouldn't make use of the one Kimiko spoke of. There was much reason to wonder what she could've bought that was so confusing... but of course, there was always the chance that it was just named strangely. Most sponsored drinks of that type were all over the place with their names. "It's a bit juice-like; kinda like Kool-Aid or something like that. Obviously it's not carbonated or anything, but what kind did you pick up anyway?"

[Apollymi]

Kimiko gained another victory. Yugi found himself stumbling over words trying to come up with something to say in response to her teasing word choice. Ah, but he really had nothing, a gentle chuckle escaped the lass as she relished in her victory. "Ara ara, speechless already~" she chimed seeming to find the whole thing rather amusing. She could easily have fun most of the night just shooting teasing words at the lad with her, but... they currently had more interesting things to do.

The main example, would be having an entire conversation about fountain drinks. According to Yugi these fountain drinks were in fact, not served from large feature fountains, but instead some strange machine with spouts which served different kinds of drinks. This sounded somewhat familiar but in the strangest way to the lass, "So... a fountain in that case is more like a beer tap?" she questioned for clarity. "Well those things are nothing alike. That name is misleading... " she claimed with a certain amount of pouty finality. The girl's reactions to all sorts of things, bordered upon outlandish in the best possible scenarios. In moments where things didn't make sense to her, it was almost like inviting some sort of tantrum.

Luckily enough, there were still other things to discuss. Like the sort of drinks she'd incidentally bought in her desires to support the efforts of BlueLotus. He explained that the drink itself was a bit like juice and beyond that point questioned the flavor. The words written on the can were clear within the girl's head and she would explain. "BlueLotus Bunny Berry," she said softly. Kimiko had a wide range of problems with that, though the canister itself was described as mixed berry, she had no idea what kind of berries they might have put in it. It didn't say explicitly so she was a bit skeptical of the goodness of it. Beyond that, there wasn't exactly someone on hand that she could have used to ease her own discomfort.

[Bloodedge]

"Well, that's just not fair, is it?" Yugi questioned. If nothing else, the lad was occasionally quite good at bouncing back. His brain worked quickly when he needed it to─ that was enough for an equally quick rebuttal. "You can't say something like already. I could shut you up just as quickly, but I'd have to actually put something in your mouth to do it. That'd just be downright rude in the middle of a conversation~" he quipped.

Kimiko's eventual understanding of fountain drinks was... very, very odd. It made sense, but it was a strange leap to hear her take. "... Yes?" he said with an upward inflection, only brief hesitation taking over beforehand. Frankly, he couldn't say she was wrong. Having attention brought to the name, he couldn't really disagree that fountain drink didn't make a ton of sense without just knowing what they were. "You know what? I actually can't argue against that. They should call them something like... like..." Ah, in came a moment of great consideration. Such was a time that his brain didn't work quickly, if only because he couldn't make a decision. Eventually though, Yugi had another absolute zinger of a name for something. "The Static Drink Choosey-Woozy Wonder Machine-O-Matic!" Ah... perfection.

Strange was the brand of drink Kimiko actually had in her possession. BlueLotus was the handle of someone who didn't even classify as a gamer, yet she had a sponsorship from the company in question nearly since they began offering the things. "Huh. Weird. I've never had that one, but I know BlueLotus because... well... anyone who's ever seen God-King knows about her. They've got some fun co-op stuff going." Yugi took an additional moment to peruse his own memory. What was that flavor again? "I think it's a wild berry-type thing? Like I said, I've never had it. But! I've never had a berry-flavored drink that was bad. Well... unless you count medicine. Don't count medicine. You got the limited edition stuff though, so aren't you like... saving it forever or something?"

[Apollymi]

And what was this? Yugi had a rebuttal to offer, having been effectively silenced mere moments ago. Of course, he would, it was natural for him to lash out a bit in such situations. He claimed it wasn't really fair and went on to exemplify how he could have gotten to a similar point in silencing her own words, but that it would have required a certain actual thing being put into her mouth. A chuckle escaped her in the moment, she couldn't help it. "Well lots of things aren't fair, but I at least try to be," she mentioned in an off-handed way. "Besides, it's only rude if we can't keep having the conversation and let's be honest here, we very well could, and I definitely wouldn't mind~" always end on a tease. That was the nature of the lass known as Ashikaga Kimiko when she was in the middle of such a situation. And that didn't even get into what he could shove in her mouth; his tongue, food, his dick... there was a large list of acceptable objects to place there, that she wouldn't argue with.

Moving right along, there was a general acceptable of her comparison between the fountain soda's came out of, and a beer tap. Alright, well it was comforting to know her thoughts weren't completely out of place. Even so, he went on to claim he couldn't argue against her logic and that the fountain drink should be renamed but in typical Yugi fashion, the name he chose was... well just outlandish. "Hehe-hehehehe~ You can't name things like that Yugi. It's ridiculous." she said still, that put her in a good mood and a good humor. Still there was the matter of set up, making sure each of the could be happy and comfortable in her space which she was willingly sharing with him.

So the matter of her drink choices came up. It seemed Yugi hadn't had the BlueLotus Berry version of the drink before, but knew of the woman because of her connection to God-King as a streamer. Kimiko nodded her agreement with that. "I'm a heavy lurker in his stream and on her Youtube channel. I have been for quite a while, in her case, because I find her business acumen interesting..." she explained of herself. What such a statement actually meant was, if the girl didn't have dreams of her own, Kimiko likely would have sought her out to hire her. "And I am an active lurker in God-King's chat... and their co-ops are legendary. I like watching them interact, they seem like such legitimately happy people..." she said of the pair. But she didn't just take a light interest in them, and her words about her involvement were a bit misleading. She'd been the one to tell BlueLotus about the store opening space in the mall she frequented. She'd donated an obscene amount of money to God-King's charity, she also appeared and chatted with him directly a time or two... but none of that really mattered. According to Yugi, he'd never had a bad berry flavored drink so it had to be good, but he was worried about the state of her collection if they opened up a collector's edition it would ruin the value. "I wouldn't by something I don't intend to use at some point, and collecting things, just to have them, is just as pointless to me as hoarding money without spending it. You have to enjoy yourself sometime right? Besides, I got two of them, I just hadn't been brave enough to try it yet..." she said slipping off the bed and heading for her trophy room. She'd go in there flick on the light and acquire on of the two boxes with the collector's edition shakers with the BlueLotus branding symbols on them, they also glowed in the dark.

[Bloodedge]

"A─" Once more, Yugi found reason to pause all rational thought and speech. He should have come to expect those sorts of responses long ago. Perhaps he did, but hearing such things in a moment was much different than assuming they would happen in one's own imagination. Something about that directness was so very titillating. At times, it almost seemed as if... "You're doing that on purpose at this point. Don't be surprised now if you're mid-sentence and I start flinging my dick at your face," he said in an almost indignant manner. He had half a mind to do just what he'd threatened, but there was something slightly more pressing at hand.

Yes, it was naturally more imperative that he address the issue of his naming patterns. Hilarious, was it? Nonsense! By Yugi's approximation, that was among the greatest names he'd ever come up with! "I can, and I will! Static Drink Choosey-Woozy Wonder Machine-O-Matic is fucking patent worthy, I'm telling ya'! You'll see; you'll all see! Just you wait until I'm given the Nobel Peace Prize for my mad naming skills," he ranted.

While Kimiko went about retrieving their beverage of choice for the night, she also explained her reasons behind opening the case. Not buying things just to never use them was fairly respectable... but alas, she had two. Of course she had two! Such a noble notion had been tossed into the toilet and flushed twice over, all by a single admission. "Uh─" Yugi interjected. "You know none of that counts if you just have two anyway, right? That whole thing just sounded like killing off a character when there are Dragon Balls nearby. . ."

[Apollymi]

Kimiko was given a strange threat after a moment of thought from Yugi. It was always funny watching him work his way through such things. The claim that he might one day follow through with his threat. Even if he did such a thing, Kimiko wouldn't mind it, as she'd previously mentioned they could continue the conversation from that point forward. "I am definitely doing it on purpose... but you'll be the one left speechless if you do it~" she said teasing even in a moment like this. Though it wasn't technically teasing since she meant those words she said and always would.

Moving on from this point, apparently, Yugi though his naming pattern was indeed worthy. He thought he'd get a Nobel Prize for his naming skills. "Uh-huh, I just don't think it's gonna be as marketable as you think," she claimed having gone into her trophy room to retrieve the canister. She stopped at the mini-fridge beside her bed for a couple of bottles of water she tossed both on the bed before climbing in herself and settled back where she belonged with that collector's edition box.

Strangely enough, Yugi claimed there was some flaw in her logic of acquiring multiples of a thing that she wanted to use while claiming that she wasn't just going to store things just to have them. She looked at him with a raised brow. "It isn't like it's plot convenience. If I like it I may want to give the other away as a gift, or maybe donate it to a future Blue Lotus museum exhibit. Or I might like it enough to want to break out another canister but not want to wait on overnight shipping... there are plenty of logical reasons to purchase multiples. Besides... you're a collector of things too, and I've seen your collection!~" she said with mock outrage. Her own collections of things were extensive but she was at least reading the books, and looking at the figures and things like this she had for moments where it's use would become obvious that she did not foresee. It was for the good of all. With that in mind she cracked open the box without hesitation passing a drink bottle to Yugi and keeping one for herself. "Hm... does this have directions or is it one of those things where you just mix it until your heart is content?" she asked seeming to not really do this sort of thing herself very often.

[Bloodedge]

Given the sort of discussion they were having so casually, it was only natural that Yugi's gaze endlessly followed the hardly-dressed lass as she moved through the room. Well, he was going to be doing that sort of thing regardless. That threat could hardly be called an actual threat. It was something he fully intended to do, and as he observed Kimiko's movements, the thought only became more solid. Oh? There was a bit of cheek coming his way as well. According to Kimiko, he'd be the one rendered speechless if he randomly plugged her mouth mid-conversation. Something resembling a glare was shot her way, accompanied by a raised brow. "Uh-huh. Y'know I've got half a mind to jizz in your G-fuel," he stated.

Marketability was no factor worth considering. Why? Because his naming was that incredible! Knowing this in the depths of his soul... somewhere... Yugi raised a finger with great purpose, and emphasized his point. "Doesn't matter! I'm getting the Nobel Peace Prize! The name will be so good, it'll stop the wars, world hunger, global warming, and your smug face!" he said with an accusatory finger pointed in the girl's direction.

That very same hand he pointed with was soon opened to receive a shaker. In the meantime, he continued staring while she settled in bed, and continued the very odd discussion they were having. Kimiko had something to say about his personal collection of things; he had to explain its greater purpose. "Well... it's tough being a guy, alright? We need collections like that. What if the internet is out, or my computer is fried? Gotta have some archaic material to use. It's not in a sane guy's nature to just go around jerking off with nothing to look at. The boner's gone without material." His explanation came to an end with that, but there was another thing worth addressing. Yugi laughed through his nose, though he couldn't exactly blame Kimiko for not understanding G-fuel and its... mechanics. "A scoop up to that first line is all you need to dump in. As for the mixing, well... shake it until your arm falls off? Basically, if you drink enough of this stuff, you can skip arms day forever."

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi he could jokingly ejaculate into her G-fuel. A grin spread across Kimiko's face in a moment like this. It was obvious he'd been watching for the duration of her movements about the room and back into bed. Their conversation, casual as it was, could also be considered quite stimulating it was to her as well. She couldn't help a line of thoughts but what would she say to an idea like that... well, naturally the first thing that popped into her perverted little mind. "Or you could just give it to me directly. We already know I like that~" Yes. That was about the right way for that statement to be addressed.

And in the meantime, there was the matter of winning the distinct Nobel Peace Prize... which would end wars, world hunger and apparently make it so she could no longer bear a smug look on her face. "Aww, but I thought you liked the look on my face?" The teasing nature of Kimiko was something which could not be escaped. Even when being teased she could only return the action in kind. It helped that she was always thinking about sex and it now had a proper direction to point in. Despite her awkwardness she was still direct enough to poke back, most of the time.

Beyond that the situation surrounding Yugi's collection was explained. Apparently as a person of the male persuasion his collection doubled as a backup for masturbatory aides in case emergency. That was a strange thing to hear. Kimiko herself did not need such aids all the time. They were nice but she did most of her masturbating in baths or in bed just relaxing. "I didn't know that worked like that for guys and it sounds absolutely dreadful. But that is a surprisingly good dual purpose for a collection like that..." she summarized. She almost felt bad for the lad not having much to go by. At least his phone would be full of porn for his future reference. She'd make sure he'd get the variety necessary to keep him busy for a while. And in the same few breaths he explained the ways of the G-fuel. Ah, just a scoop and shake. She could do that... she measured out the amount necessary and began to shake and pour but took the time to comment. "Arms day energy drink, alright." And then the shaking began. A gentle clicking noise seeming to occur as she shook the drink up. She'd wait of course to taste it until she was certain of the mixture. This very blue drink seemed like the sort of thing that could be enjoyable at least.

[Bloodedge]

No matter what, these conversations could never be one-sided for very long, if at all. In this case, things leaned more toward the... not at all direction. While Yugi spoke of ejaculating into the girl's beverage, she raised the idea of providing said ejaculate directly. Ah... that was the preferred method, as proclaimed by Kimiko herself. Was the point of it all to rob his brain of blood? If so, it had been successfully rerouted fully into his groin instead. Another brain would be the one fully in charge soon enough. "Could. Yeah. Or, I could hold out and let you suffer jizz-dehydration and... protein deficiency or something─" Ah, the first loss of full cognitive function had already reared its head. That much was essentially the standard that came with pitching tents, so to speak.

That glorious prize in Yugi's imagination would do a great many things. Among those things, of course, was stripping the ability for Kimiko to bear that smug expression. Naturally, she had words to offer regarding that as well. "Yeah, I like it a lot. But, imagine the replacement! When I prove you wrong and win that shit, you'll be all sorts of awestruck and horny. Then I'll take a picture every time I catch you looking at me, and I'll make an ahegao hoodie with your face!" he announced. Such an epic plan this was; he'd surely make the most of it one day!

First, he had to make the most of this energy drink. When Kimiko was done with her portion, he twisted open his own shaker and took the scoop from... oh. Right. "Right. Not G-fuel. Still G-fuel. I hate labels," he griped, remembering the slight difference between brands. As flavors were concerned, there wasn't a single difference worth noting. Something like that only brought a scoff from the young male. Regardless, he poured a single scoop of powder into his shaker, and filled it with water while addressing issues of male masturbation. "It's not so bad. Well... it gets pretty awkward when you get a random memory flash of the FUB you saw walking down the street six weeks ago. It's hard to keep it going with imagination alone─ it goes too far left sometimes."

[Apollymi]

Yugi's mind working was one of the things that Kimiko enjoyed most about looking upon the lad. In a moment like this, it seemed that he lost all semblance of thought. She said outrageous things to him and then watched with not so secret amounts of glee as he tried to come up with a proper comeback to what she said. This time he made the claim that he could withhold from her what she desired from him and it'd in turn give her some kind of deficiency or dehydration? "Holding out on me? Daddy, that'd made you a terrible pet owner~" she stated looking aghast in the most overdramatic sort of way. Still he had more to say about their other topics of conversation and she would be no less quick in her replies.

Awestruck and horny? If he won the prize he claimed that it would be just as worthwhile to see her face with those kinds of expressions enough to make an ahegao hoodie. He wanted something like that? Well, she supposed that would be something to do with her face if he really liked looking at it. "That is an interesting plan, I can imagine that being quite the interesting hoodie though... seems like a Nobel Prize is a bit far to go for it though... you could just get the pictures any time~" she teased gently. Why did it seem like she did not mind this idea at all? Probably because she didn't. Beyond that it sounded like they'd be having lots of sex while he tried to get the right pictures for his collection, seemed like a pretty good deal to Kimiko.

Ah, but their sexual conversations weren't the only ones they were having. It was important to not just get led astray by her loins just because there was a target for them. Even if she'd spent a really long time looking for him and they'd finally gotten to the point of having some intimate moments together. "You hate labels, but it it only because those products are similar or is this one of those huge tirades?" she asked seemingly very curious about it all the while shaking that bottle of hers around. Of course it came right back around to the idea of not being able to continue on in a masturbation session because of a random imagine popping up in the head. "That really sounds terrible. As a girl my visualization is pretty high, I could make up a whole scene in my head and as long as no one physically interrupts me I could get all the way through it..." Kimiko mentioned. Actually the video she'd sent him previously as something like that. She often did that sort of thing... the idea of being interrupted by her own thoughts was not even something she entertained. And now some moments later she stopped shaking her drink and popped it open. Took a sniff... it really smelled nice like several different berries. And she'd managed to not have any grit left in it. "Hm... it smells nice at least," she mentioned looking towards Yugi. She was definitely going to try it and see what all the hype is about.

[Bloodedge]

At some point, one had to wonder if Yugi was just having his bluff called. There was no shortage of provocation in Kimiko's every word. Yugi wasn't catching any breaks, having little choice but to think a thousand miles per second. Were these statements meant to get an immediate reaction out of him? Was it ridiculous to act impulsively the moment an idea was put in his head? Maybe that was a bit much. After all, there were many things to do, and not a lot of time with which to do them here. Maybe he'd manage to lose that erection and actually accomplish something? That was another thing for Yugi to wonder while he shrugged off Kimiko's most recent allegation. "Maybe I am a terrible pet owner. It's not like I have any idea what makes a good one~"

As usual, things were spiraling downward at an alarming rate. A simple joke about having a hoodie made had become something rather intense. Of course a Nobel Prize was quite a leap to acquire such an article, but the thought of getting the pictures for said hoodie at any time was one that couldn't be silenced. "I can what─" he blurted out right away. "You just agreed to making enough weird, crazy faces to cover a hoodie. I wouldn't repeat a single one," he continued. Yugi actually didn't mind the idea of having an article like that, though he thought the better of actually wearing it in public. Actually... a collage of some sort in his private box home was a better idea. . .

Why did Yugi hate labels? It actually had nothing to do with the similarity of products, and everything to do with the differences of the labels. "Look. We get G-fuel. We then get advance.gg, which I don't even know what to call. GG? Advance? AG? None of that sounds like a fucking drink! G-fuel rolls right off the tongue, and I automatically want to use its name in place of the shitty one. It's basically the same thing anyway," he rambled. Moments later, he was shaking his own cup to mix powder and water, strangely satisfied by the shaker's constant clicking. The pair spoke of differences in imagination. At the core of it all, there wasn't really much difference. There was, however, one thing... "Yeah, that's the problem being a guy. Strong visualization's a thing, but that includes all the random stuff that pops up when you don't want it to. Or maybe that's just the ADHD. I dunno; I avoid thinking much about it. I'll just keep the material either way."

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi he might be a terrible pet owner. He did not have any good examples to go by. "Hoh? Well I'll have to make sure you understand the assignment~" she mentioned with a cheeky smirk coming to her face. Perhaps Kimiko would let this go, or maybe it would just come up in conversation again. By all rights she was exactly the type to say something like that and then make a note of good pet owner behavior as the activities reached festive peaks. She really couldn't help herself though, she was rather prone to saying the things that popped up in her mind when it came to this young man, knowing he would accept it gave her a bit more ease in transition than she was expecting.

Surprise. It seemed that Yugi couldn't help but blurt out his initial reaction to the teasing that Kimiko put down as a result of his ideal hoodie. A chuckle escaped her as he questioned it, and then revealed his plan to have no faces repeat themselves. "Oh, I know. We have had several conversations about the nature of your tastes. It'd be boring if any of them repeated anyways~" she chimed in seemingly more than alright with the idea. It'd probably end up like some long term erotic art project. "Though it'd be your responsibility to make those new exciting faces happen~" Yes, she truly couldn't help herself. Eventually they'd end up in the same position they'd been in before this point.

Moving on, label hate. Apparently names that were more easily associated and rolled off the tongue with greater ease would find themselves used for all types of products with similar nature. Not because they were liked better but simply because they were easier to say and come up with abbreviations for. "I can't argue against that... It is easy to replace branded things with the best version of the thing..." she said having the first taste of this drink she heard out the words of this lad while her eyes lit up. "Sugoi!!" she chimed it really was good. She'd have to leave a good review and order more later. Ah and the matter of porn collections for the sake of getting rid of things in the mind. "It still sounds terrible, but I can see it. Strong imagination with any form of high sense is a bit jarring in certain situations..." she said. Thinking about it logically there were several things she did with her own mind that were daunting. Like the moment where seeing something completely innocent could trigger a dirty series of thoughts. Even with focus that was harder to balance. As it stood she'd pull her keyboard into her lap and switch to a specific screen.

[Bloodedge]

"Good idea!" Yugi said quickly, having the strangest memory triggered by Kimiko's words. That sort of line was dangerously similar to something he'd read once. Oh. He knew what was happening, and the realization was both concerning... and exciting. "Wait. Did you just ShiniHime me?" he questioned for surety.

Moving on, further confirmation came quite naturally. The responsibility of creating the expressions he sought fell upon Yugi himself. Could it be called much of a responsibility at all? Well, not really. That could even be called two wins in one event, or rather... a great number of similar events. No one with any semblance of rational thought would shirk responsibility in that regard. "That's on me, huh? Alright. I do like taking on new challenges. That might be the biggest one yet," he mused, finally ceasing the mixing of his beverage.

Now that Kimiko had tested the drink herself, Yugi took a few gulps from his shaker. He knew what to expect of the brand, and still found this berry flavor exceptional. "Huh. This is better than I thought it'd be. Good pick, Lotus," the lad commented absently. For this brand and the issue he had with it, he could easily see himself stocking up on this particular flavor. As for the issue of masturbation, Yugi was content to address its final clause while Kimiko seemed to be setting up the game. "Sometimes, I guess. Only when it's cripplingly inconvenient, so it's not so bad, right?" he joked before taking another sip.

[Apollymi]

Did she just ShiniHime him? Well the answer to that was quite simple wasn't it. "Yes. I can't help it. I got a notification about a chapter dropping soon so she's re-entered my thoughts. I did hate that last chapter's cliffhanger though..." she mentioned seeming to have made peace with the fact that even randomly she couldn't help but reference her favorite series from time to time. But when you take in as much content as she did, you were bound to pick up a thing or two eventually right?

Moving on from that, there was the matter of his creation of all her greatest faces and he claimed it would be a challenge he'd undertake. "Gambare yo!" she exclaimed. Should she be encouraging sexual deviance. Yes, especially when it matched her own current desires so nicely. Now having a whole thing together she supposed she'd finally get back around to that question he hadn't answered. "Oh, yeah, you never said which one you wanted... so I made a choice." She took the screen to the left and gave him the one to the right. "Controllers or keyboards are in the drawer over there and... also a KaibaCorp scan halo, if you'd like a face scan..." she said offering up her own stuff without any real issue.

After that point there was the matter of the extra bits to be considered. He also enjoyed the Lotus choice so she figured he'd like some as well. She'd get him some more when she ordered hers, it wouldn't be a big deal. "It isn't so bad no. I have a different sort of issue where seeing something innocent makes my head go really left... but that isn't so bad when I don't actively have to work against it. Oh..." she gave a pause at the end of the sentence remembering something important. Mostly because she'd been looking at him for a few minutes and realized something. "If you are going to face scan... you might want to do something with your hair. Or you'll spend forever messing with the sliders trying to get it right, and then... it will be three hours later, and you'll realize you could have just done something about your actual hair and redone the face scan in an hour. Don't be like me."

[Bloodedge]

Interesting. Apparently, there would soon be a new chapter release for the series Bleach. Yugi had taken a minute or two to peruse the list of Aeons works, and he hadn't seen much of anything new since their departure to another world. To hear this would be their next release, he could have a different kind of excitement than what he'd come to know the past few minutes. "Sweet! I've been wondering for ages what she's gonna do next. Oi, since you're channeling the character and all, how..." He paused then and there. Perhaps it was best to take the downtime and avoid hopping back down that rabbit hole.

Alas, he was soon to be cheered on for taking the challenge of... creating reactions, as it were. That wouldn't do much for keeping him out of the hole─ neither the figurative, nor the literal. Would either be so bad though? Not really, but it would be awkward to act on perversion 100% of the time, wouldn't it? That's certainly what Yugi assumed. Whatever the case, he would be found reaching into the mentioned drawer for a controller and keyboard, preferring a dual setup for various interfaces. That scan halo was something he took note of, and even wondered about. Once his playing devices were in place, he inspected the halo more directly. Would a scan be worthwhile? "I'm debating whether I even want to put my ugly mug on a character. I mean, I used myself as a base for Kou, but I was able to buff the looks a bit," he explained while fiddling with the new device.

Seeing something innocent and mentally converting it to something perverse... was nothing strange at all, according to Yugi. Kimiko explained her situation, and he snickered right away. "Trust me, that's not the least bit weird. If it makes you feel any better, I was just watching your throat move while you were drinking a second ago. I'm pretty sure I'd pop a boner to tooth brushing at this point," he admitted. Over time, Yugi decided to commit to a face scan. He didn't really want to spend hours designing a character, and it wouldn't be one he intended to send out under the identity of Geno Killer anyway. Ah, but it seemed something else would be on the table in that case. Something with his hair? The lad looked up into his own strays, pulling a few from his line of sight while sighing. "Chikusho. Is it really that big a deal? I never really do much with my hair; I figured I could just slap a default on or something. Or... y'know, do something about it whenever we end up on the other side again─"

[Apollymi]

He'd been wondering for ages the outcome of the Benihime/Raizen situation in Bleach, Kimiko had been doing the same thing. Ah but his sentence stopped about halfway through, she wondered what was going on in his head. "Oh? I do wonder where that was going... but I get it," she said with an amused tone. They could move on. Her face scan was already in the game so it wasn't a problem for her to make a new character using her own face as the base. Still, Yugi seemed to be a bit apprehensive about using his own face on the character. He claimed he'd used his own face to make the character Kou and that he'd 'buffed' the look a bit.

"Buff definitely isn't the word for Kou's face~ He's pretty. But..." she said staring at his face for a few moments longer. "I really like this face too. It wouldn't be a problem for you to use your own face. Actually Giyu looks a lot more like you at base~" she said seemingly amused by it and then her face shifted. "Ah. Giyu... I'm dumb," she said clapping a hand over her face. Of course she didn't know who he was at base, but now she felt like she should have thought a bit harder about things. As their conversation progressed it seemed that her own kind of deviation was easily understandable to Yugi. He made the claim that watching her swallow her drink earlier had the similar kind of effect on him and that even brushing teeth could be considered sexually arousing. "Hm, good to know. I'll give a good show while brushing!~"

Ah, there was something else, was the hair thing really that serious. Kimiko looked at the lad and gave a suitable explanation as she understood it. "Alright so if you scan your face and try to use hairs from the game your face won't look right to you because you won't have the texture or thickness or anything you're used to. But if you're having a less than awesome hair day you also won't look right to you. You simply won't look right in your own skin and you won't be able to adjust the stock hairs enough to make you look right to you. The volume, texture and all that is set by the base, so if you want your hair to look right on your head you have to have it picture perfect at base. If you manage it, you can change color and style and it will always look right to you..." she explained of the situation. Of course her own avatars were proof of this but she also knew how long it took her to realize why she thought her scan looked strange.

[Bloodedge]

She got it. Ah, good. Yugi could go on assuming he'd made the better choice, to carry on with a more normal hangout experience for as long as possible. Of course, he could never fully shut off that part of his brain; it may have even been the larger portion at this point. Something that did help, was the sudden realization that came after Kimiko addressed his natural face. Lucky timing, as he wasn't sure how he'd react to the commentary about his appearance. Instead, he could address Kimiko's realization of the Avatar Giyu... by laughing. "Hahaha! That one was uh... interesting. I kinda let that one make itself, sort of like a Time Lord thing. I was feeling pretty comfortable then, so it just ended up more like me than the others. I used to have the mullet and all─" he stated.

It was somewhat refreshing to be on a different topic, even as he took no issue with their topics unsuited to public consumption. Speaking of topics for more private scenes, Kimiko spoke of putting on a show whilst brushing her teeth. Surely, she didn't take that seriously. Well... he'd been quite serious about what he said, but that didn't mean she had to go around flaunting her process of dental hygiene. "Oi oi, that's way beyond reasonable! Y'know most people would do that kind of thing with like... a banana, lollipops, ice-cream or something. I'm not even sure how a toothbrush can be made sexy on purpose," he said, though he now had a rather legitimate interest in finding out. . .

Either way, apparently there was much to consider regarding face scans and hair. Yugi didn't tend to concern himself with those things much, but he imagined there wouldn't be much point to using his own face, just to take issue with his own appearance due to a clash of hair texture. Such a ridiculous line of thought it was, though it made a fair bit of sense. "Uh-huh. You're really set on these weird clashes, aren't you? If you say it's that much of a problem, I'll believe you. Not much I can do with my hair though. I haven't even been to a barber in years."

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, his Giyu avatar had been an exercise in Time Lord regeneration. He apparently felt comfortable so that one came out more like him than his other ones. Kimiko looked at the lad for just a second framing his face and seeing it through those same eyes for a moment. "Yeah definitely more like your face.. that hair was something else though... so much fluff. He had to have gone a bit crazy with the hairs," she said with a chuckle. Of course she had no problem with his appearance as it was currently but that hair on Giyu was the stuff of legends.

Ah, but they were bouncing around a bit. Apparently the idea of sexy toothbrushing was foreign as a concept. "Food is different. That is more of that innocent to the H thing we were talking about before. Toothbrushing show seems like it would be pretty easy as well..." she said with a firm nod. Perhaps she'd actually try it later. Yugi did seem interested enough for her to give it a fair bit of thought. Just like all other things they discussed, she'd file it away for their later combined enjoyment.

Ah, the hairs came back with a vengeance though. According to Yugi, he'd not done much with his hair in years, definitely hadn't seen a barber or anything of the sort. That was sort of amazing to Kimiko. She was the sort to look after herself to an extreme but that being said there was also a lot to be said about his current look. "The weird ones bugged me when I was making Miki. I am extra conscious of it, knowing I could have to wear the face. Don't want to be a person making one of those helmet only characters or anything~" she said with confidence. "Besides I did mention I have a spa up here. The hairdresser isn't in but... I could do it if you wanted..." she said ever so carefully. Not because she felt like she wasn't able to, but she didn't want to be too pushy. She definitely had enough experience given her friendship with Tsukiko to be able to be a hairdresser, manicurist and pedicurist if she needed to be.

[Bloodedge]

Suddenly, Kimiko was staring into his face while comparing it to the former Avatar, Giyu. At this point, it would be more accurate to compare his visage with that of Xiao, who served as Giyu's upgrade/replacement in a way. Her commentary gave a few interesting implications. Did Ashikaga Kimiko have some strange thing for mullets? He didn't really intend to go back to that look, nor did he believe it'd be easy to maintain one of that quality in real life. "Am I about to be on the receiving end of a really weird confession?" he asked, finding the query almost necessary.

Apparently, Kimiko thought a 'toothbrushing show' would be easy to pull off. His mind was taking him nowhere, maybe due to its continued lack of blood flow, or maybe because he was thinking too hard about an answer. From the looks of things though, he'd find out what she had in mind eventually. He'd never imagined himself being excited about something so very simple. Ah, but that was an effect he seemed to be suffering a lot over the past six months of his strange life. "You're gonna do a sexy toothbrushing thing? Is it weird that I'm really interested in seeing that?" he asked, still working on some sort of visual to the whole thing.

Beyond thoughts of provocative dental care, there were still thoughts of hair care. He had little to no interest in dealing with his hair, lest he become obsessive compulsive over every individual strand. So long as it was all somewhat messy, he could ignore it entirely, but... he wouldn't really mind having it styled perfectly. It seemed Kimiko herself was willing to do something about that. What an interesting thing to bring up. Yugi took a moment to think, deciding she'd be looking at him more often than he'd be looking at himself. Who could he trust better with his image than the person who'd most want to enjoy it? "Hmm. I guess if you did it, I wouldn't have to check and make sure you don't... hate it or anything. Lucky you; I have a really hard time thinking straight while I've got a boner. I'm up for it. Onegaishimasu!" he said after several seconds of thought.

[Apollymi]

As Kimiko framed Yugi's face she found herself appreciating his visage just a bit. She definitely had a preference for the more natural form of his face. And in actuality if she could have both that and that wild and crazy hair she'd likely find herself in a great position in her life. She gave it a stark bit of consideration, even giving a gentle nibble to that bottom lip of hers as Yugi chose to question whether or not he'd be on the receiving end of a strange confession. "Just a little confession. A little crazy fluff with the hair is always a good thing. I'm probably a bit weird, but the hair was one of Giyu's best features. Definitely top three," she said with a firm nod. She couldn't even explain what it was she liked about it.

Moving on from that to oral hygiene there was the matter of this toothbrush related eroticism. Apparently, Yugi was pretty interested in seeing something like that and wondered if his interest was weird. Kimiko couldn't help but smile as she shook her head no to his question secondary question while answering the first. "Well, yes. I am gonna give it a bit of thought and I'll put it together because it interests you. There is nothing weird about it though... we've already had the chat about how innocent things set minds ablaze. Innocent things done with purposeful sexy intentions are bound to be interesting~" she said seeming to be fine with the random deviance applied to something as simple as toothbrushing.

And then back to hair, so strange this conversation was. Apparently, Yugi would let her be the one to modify his hair. She was also in luck? He couldn't think straight while having a boner going and agreed without much hesitation at all. "Okay, good to know. Whenever I want to do something a bit weird, make sure you have a boner first. Gotcha~" she said offering a little wink. Of course, all that was really necessary was probably a wash and a condition. Whatever gunk was in his hair just had to go... and then she could see the truth of the fluff. "Anyways, if you wanted that... the spa's like five doors down... if you wanted to get it done before your go at your next character creation..." she mused just a bit. Fluff could be upon her any minute. It could be glorious.

[Bloodedge]

"Plus for fluff," he gathered. "Sou ka." Suddenly, Yugi was wondering if the return of his old mullet would be a worthwhile endeavor. What sort of reaction would that garner? Probably one with a very satisfying ending. Alas, he couldn't just go back to that sort of maintenance. Perhaps there was something just close enough.

Innocent, yet purposeful─ that sounded like something right up his alley. Yugi had a thing for the slight discretion Kimiko tended to show when being a deviant, even though her words were just as frequently more direct than anything. Life was becoming more interesting by the day. More interesting still, was Kimiko's assertion that she could get or do what she wanted, so long as he had an erection that kept him from thinking properly. Yugi scoffed. "Bold of you to assume it's that simple! Sure, it might work, but you'd also be signing yourself up to deal with the boner. I can't keep one for too long, y'know? It already affects my brain, so it would probably make me permanently stupid eventually. I'm sure we don't want that problem~" he quipped.

Sadly, he'd soon be dealing with the discomfort of walking with one such erection. Five doors down was the spa Kimiko spoke of. Yugi groaned at the thought, gulping down his drink while sliding toward the bed's edge. Five doors was quite the trek in a place like this, but he'd probably manage to lose the boner successfully in making the trip. "Right. Walking six miles through the house to the spa. I need to walk this thing off anyway, so... after you~" he insisted. That may have been an oversight, however. . .

[Apollymi]

There was a strange acceptance for the odd preference that Kimiko admitted to. In truth, she did not just expect such a change, nor did she truly expect the lad to want to take up such maintenance on his own. In truth, she'd be just as happy caring for such a thing herself and keeping hair up was not really that difficult. If he truly wanted they could make days of that sort of activity. Regardless, up keep of such things in the other world were hardly things to think about. The here and now as something very different. There was a happy smile on her face as she finished off her own drink in the moment, how nice these moments were. Oh, well there were other things as well. Apparently, if Kimiko used the method of getting what she wanted by giving Yugi boners she'd be required to deal with the boners. A devilish grin passed over her face in a moment like this as she mirrored his own speech. "Bold of you to assume that dealing with a boner isn't exactly what I want out of this situation. This situation is an absolute win for me~" she countered with all the seriousness she normally possessed. This young man would eventually know the truth, she was enough of a pervert to be thinking of sex all the time, actually having sex all of the time wouldn't be a problem for her.

Beyond that, they'd agreed to the movement though Yugi managed to sound a bit discontent at the idea of the trek he was still ready to make it. "Come on, Yugi... it's not that far~" she mused. She opened her bedroom door for them and slipped out. In a moment like this Kimiko's shameless behavior became absolutely obvious. No one would be on her floor at this hour, so she'd casually stroll about in just her underwear with the lad right behind her. And he was behind her. She'd reach up, tossing those fluffy locks of hers about, revealing the skin of her back glimpses of her bra straps and her underwear along the way as she walked along. They'd reach that state of the art spa room, but she did not think Yugi would be losing that boner of his any time soon.

[Bloodedge]

Indeed, there were various victories to be counted on both sides of this exchange. There would be no complaints from Yugi, nor would there be any expectations that weren't stellar. "Then we have an agreement~" he said, taking that entire discussion as the creation of a verbal contract. "Shake on it?" He offered, but it wasn't a hand he extended. No, in keeping with their current form of conversation, what Yugi offered to solidify the agreement was his crotch, thrusting it forward. "Or we could air-shake. I shake this, you shake something, we act like that counts as legally binding─" That ramble came to an abrupt halt as Yugi waved it all off. It was time to climb out of bed and get moving toward...

Oh. The mobile Kimiko was not at all en route to her clothes. She said it wasn't that far to the spa room, but she was sauntering off in provocative undergarments without a care in the world. Talk about a way to make long trips longer. He followed along, figuring there was little point to grabbing his shirt on the way if she was going out like that. "Right. Thirty miles," he corrected. The entire way out, he was going to be watching the girl's backside. It came as no surprise that she began flaunting flesh and accentuating garments, making every step even more of a nightmare for the lad. Hell, Yugi even thought he'd be more comfortable with this walk if he let his dick hang loose. At least then, he wouldn't be crushing it beneath his trousers while moving forward. "Not that far. Pretty sure you meant to say not that fair," he griped when they had only just left the bedroom.

[Apollymi]

"Of course we do~" she said of their coming agreement. Strangely the shake that Yugi offered was one which was of his crotch instead of his hand, she giggled at the thought. She'd would have gladly accepted such a shake or even his agreement of a shake and a shake. "Anything can count as the collateral for a legally binding exchange, as long as both parties agree to the value~" she chimed giving a gentle wiggle of her hips as she too exited the bed and headed for the door. They were quite a pair and they definitely spent way more time saying flirty words to each other than doing anything else.

The common factor in their interactions thus far had been they both seemed to be putting off the idea of an actual sexual encounter in favor of other things. Much like in the other world, other things required their immediate attention. Even so, she would have gladly taken a break from any line of thought to pursue their combined deviance. As they began their trek down the hall, Yugi extended the distance he claimed it would be by quite a bit. Seeing the movements of her body she gave a quick glance over her shoulder while seeming to stretch just a little. Her arms over her head she seemed to be purposefully teasing him, but her movements were pretty innocent and aligned to the casual walk she was taking. All the way up that veil of hair would go only to flow all the way back down to her waist where it rested in general. "What isn't fair about this? I haven't done a thing~" she teased knowing full well that she was teasing on purpose. A door would be passed and another wasn't too far behind but she also seemed to be in no real rush to get where she was going either, she liked the idea that his eyes were on her. She enjoyed the fact that she could distract him both with her body and her conversation. It was a good exchange, besides this was doing nothing but riling her up as well. What else would he say, how much more obvious would it become that he was turned on? How long would it be before they said 'screw it' and well... screwed? These were the kinds of things that were on Kimiko's mind.

[Bloodedge]

"Anything, huh..." the lad mused. Yugi was waist-deep in a pit of ridiculousness, and he was fully content to dive deeper. There wasn't much choice after witnessing that hip wiggle, and further taking note of every little movement she so obviously made on purpose down the hall. Only one of five doors down, and he wasn't even sure what to look at. Something about a pair of undergarments left just enough hidden to tease, but just enough exposed to titillate beyond all reason.

Of course, Kimiko was going to claim she hadn't done a thing... while exposing more of her backside otherwise hidden beneath hair. Was she trying to be assaulted in the hallway of her own home? If she wasn't, then she was doing herself no real favors in continuing those antics. In actuality, he'd be the only one doing her a favor by showing such restraint! The question was, how long would said restraint last? Not too long, Yugi believed─ the banter upkeep wasn't helping very much. "Sure you did," he said, insisting that she'd done something. As they prepared to pass the second door, Yugi pointed just ahead of Kimiko's location to exemplify exactly where he was mentally. "You dropped something. Right there. See it?"

[Apollymi]

"Yep!" There was a little pop of her lips with the p on the end of that word, but it didn't really matter. She'd come to take more amusement in keeping Yugi's attention as they moved through the hall towards the spa room she had in mind for his hair day. She wondered if he could keep up the restraint he was currently showing as they moved. By the time they reached the second door, it became obvious he could not.

Why? Well, he made the claim she'd dropped something. He'd been staring at her this whole time so surely he wouldn't just be misleading her for any random reason, right? Yes, it had to be some sort of honest mistake and it was all she could do to look genuinely shocked and come to a stop. She bent over at the waist her hips swaying just a little from left to right while her bottom was up in the air in those little lace panties. "I'm not sure I see what you're talking about here, Yugi~" she said as her hand met the floor with a flat palm against the floor. "I don't see or feel anything down here..." she mentioned seemingly innocent but as her hair fell around her body revealing more and more of her flesh the grin on her face couldn't be held back at all. This little dance of theirs was becoming a bit problematic.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi was experiencing something of a problem─ one he wasn't even wholly conscious of. When they started walking through the hall, he quickly realized no others were present. Even so, any thought of someone showing up hardly registered as a threat while he walked behind the lass. That couldn't have been more clear than the moment Kimiko went along with his rather conspicuous ploy. It was without question that she stopped walking and bent over, palms to the floor and backside staring Yugi in the window of his soul. Oh... she was even going to play along further.

Kimiko allegedly couldn't see or feel anything in the floor, but he was certain something had been dropped. His forward stride hadn't come to a stop yet, so surely he could offer assistance... as he was halted by the act of his stiff cock connecting with the bent-over girl's undercarriage. Ah, sweet relief, if only slightly. That momentary pressure was so satisfying, there was only a second of time passing before he started throbbing against her, hands grasping at her waist as if he intended to be truly helpful. "Really? There was definitely something there, and it looked really important! You sure you can't see or feel anything?" he asked. In fairness, it wasn't as if the hall was incredibly well-lit at this hour. She must have been suffering a bit of night blindness. Whatever the case, problematic was definitely the descriptor for this exchange they frequently shared. . .

[Apollymi]

Yugi may have just been realizing he had a problem, but Kimiko knew of it long before they stepped out of her room. This entire floor was hers and hers alone, during non-essential hours no one came up here per her own request. This floor was essentially a ghost town during her nightly gaming hours and not even her usual bodyguard was on shift at 3 am so long as she was in the building. As such they were quite alone and quite free to experience this space with a bit of controlled danger involved.

Ah but even that controlled danger was a worthwhile experience. After bending over Kimiko was confronted with a feeling she'd definitely been missing in the last few moments. The connection between her undercarriage and Yugi's manhood even through clothing was relieving to both individuals in a minor way. Oh and that throb which happened even a moment later made her let out a gentle little moan. This was going to be quite difficult to play along with... they might not even make it to their planned destination if this went too far. Ah, but there was no reason for real concern. Instead as hands met her waist, her hips shifted just a little from left to right seeming to enjoy the feeling of him being pressed against her. For the part in the little farce she was putting on she seemed to be actually looking for something. "I still don't see anything, but I definitely feel something~" she reached a bit further, extending that arch in her back and most definitely grinding herself against the lad's erection while she did so. The dangerous little games they played.

[Bloodedge]

The word dangerous would potentially be redefined this day. Yugi was in the process of having second thoughts about his every decision─ at least every decision related to restraint. Did it really matter if they got caught disrespecting the entirety of this hallway? No, anyone sauntering by would undoubtedly understand how absolutely necessary a bit of deviance was at the time! Besides, there wasn't much to be said when it was all Kimiko's doing. She was the one bent over in the hallway, grinding against his erection with no concerns whatsoever. She was the one who sashayed around in frilly undergarments to get a rise out of him. She was the one applying that damn demonic temptress arch in her back while maintaining an impossible to resist position! Poor Yugi could think of nothing but continuing to grind against her backside, just for a speck of relief from this absolute hell!

"Yeah, I bet─" he said about the feeling of... something. Briefly, he thought to ensure that something more was felt, but he thought the better of it. They had no protection, and even if they did, he could at least put this off until they weren't standing in the middle of a hallway. His groin, however, hardly agreed with this train of thought. It kept screaming at the lad in his head, saying only: More. The grinding wouldn't stop even after Yugi's decision... and neither did the speech. "Might be one of those lost glasses things. You probably can't find it from this far away."

[Apollymi]

Danger? Yes, Kimiko was definitely in danger. Not like the mortality kind, but definitely the virtuous kind. Of course, she'd already handed her virtues over to this lad in particular so how much did it matter if she chose to grind against his manhood in the middle of a hallway in her house? Not much at all really. Well, aside from the jolts of sensation that were being sent straight to her brain. Such things were almost enough to make her forget her own plans. Right... they were still headed to the spa room. She still actually planned to help him with his hair... though this whole teasing thing was also being done there was a secondary plan for the 'handling' of that particular situation. Strangely as much as the sensation of grinding against him would work for her, it also worked against her own goals. She couldn't say she minded the risks though.

That was especially the case, when Yugi began to speak a bit. His tone still implying a bit more inquisitiveness. Oh he wished for her to move about a bit and had taken to questioning her ability to search from this angle. She supposed she could and should shift a bit huh? That gentle grinding sway of her backside soon turned into an up and downward motion until of course her bottom would shift down the whole of his cock and she'd be left balanced on her toes checking the floor once more and leaving her backside just a few inches above the floor as she further inspected but of course she could only give Yugi a joking wink. "I really don't see anything. You must be mistaken~" she chimed seemingly amused by the jest. "I'm sure if it's really important someone will bring it to me later... come on Yugi~" she said seeming content to straighten up and keep going down the hall admittedly with a teasing bounce in her step.

[Bloodedge]

Was there anything that could prevent Yugi from making a long list of wonderful, terrible decisions in the middle of a mansion hallway? They were already dry-humping out in the open, and both were only an article slip or two away from nudity. One thing pulled down and another thing pulled aside, and he could easily scratch an itch he'd been dealing with for several consecutive minutes. Why shouldn't he? There was no need to wait on something silly like location or protection, right? Yeah, none of that crud actually mattered! The only important thing was diving right in, wasn't it?

Yugi didn't believe his train of thought was leading him astray. Luckily for him, Kimiko's plans wouldn't allow him to follow through. One final grind against his crotch carried the girl low, all the way to the floor in the most brilliant showing of movement Yugi had ever seen. She still couldn't see anything? Well, wide as Yugi's eyes were, he could almost see the future. In said future, his pants would be dropped in a split second, and Kimiko would be bent over again just after straightening her posture. Alas, that future would not come to pass. Only a moment before he impulsively took action, Kimiko spoke again. Ah... she was on the move. Good. Bad? It was one of those things; maybe it was both. "Right. Yeah. Almost made a good bad decision─" he stated while following along. How life became so terrible and wonderful all at once, he didn't know at all. But... he also wasn't complaining.

[Apollymi]

That little showing of movement seemed to put Yugi into an interesting line of thought. Kimiko watched as his mind apparently raced for quite a few seconds but by the time she rose to her original position and prodded the lad they were back on the move. There was something so enticing about teasing him knowing he was on the road to some perverse line of thinking. She really hadn't been kidding when she told him that any perverse thoughts aimed specifically at her were only a bonus in her own mind. It was fun to play off each other, and more fun still to build up the anticipation until one of them snapped. She was also taking untold joy in knowing what she had planned and wishing to surprising him with it while keeping him and herself on the brink of arousal. Yes... this was going to be a fun experience and that was most of the fun of this day.

"Oh? That makes sense... I am inclined to believe I would do the same thing..." she mused. Up the hall they continued and would do until they reached the room in question. Upon making her way inside several lights came on and floor tiles began to warm themselves. The Spa Room as she called it, had a cream and light blue marble floor heated and several different things littered around the walls. A couple of basin sinks and the appropriate chairs for hair dressing reclined against them. Different chairs for hair styling and the like. Several neatly organized shelves of various products from shampoos and conditioners, face masks and even a few of those large massaging chairs with the foot tubs beneath for pedicures and a manicurist station. Yes, even a set massage tables and the associated bits were located on the far side of the room. Basically this room looked like it was meant for a pair of people to experience a full day at a spa but as just two people. It even had a couple of the deep clawfoot tubs side by side and some monitors which could descend from the ceiling. "Alright, this is the spa... " she said giving a little nod.

[Bloodedge]

Of course Kimiko would have done the same thing as him. One couldn't discredit the power of perversion when an outlet was readily available. At the very least, they could presently move on... into a "spa room" ridiculous enough to cost a premium for an hour visit. The floor even became warmer as he stepped into the room, which... lit itself? Why any of these features were necessary, Yugi would likely never know. Moreover, everything seemed designed for two. This certainly wasn't something designed recently, so it wasn't created with the pair of them in mind. . . Ah. He understood everything. "Must've been a really interesting friendship," he commented while looking around.

Though he could have continued following directly, Yugi had begun to wander a bit. If there was anyone who didn't relax after spending a few minutes in a room like this, there was probably something wrong with them mentally. He could feel the tension leaving his body just from viewing the venue. He should bathe in one of those tubs. Wait, no; he wasn't here for that... but eventually. "You know, most people who say they have spa rooms... don't mean they have something like this. This looks like the basement floor of the Gleaming Crest, without the extra tech for fake beach views and shit─"

[Apollymi]

The room with its self warming floors and the like, brought a bit of a nostalgic smile to Kimiko's face. She'd had this room put in around the time this wing fully became hers to inhabit. At the time, she only had one real guest to speak of on a regular basis. "It was... or rather it is the best sort of friendship." Kimiko mentioned with a sly smile. She'd originally had this room installed for a specific individual and her to share their experiences. A getaway at home, girl time for shut-ins... that sort of thing.

She walked along leading Yugi to one of the standing wash basins motioning for him to sit at his leisure while she scanned shampoo bottles deciding which sort would be best. She decided on an Acai Berry Clarifying Shampoo to get the gunk out and a matching conditioner setting both on a table already set up with combs and brushes for the this particular washing cycle. He claimed this place was like the Gleaming Crest room without all the tech to make the fake beaches. There was also the mention that most people did not have these sorts of rooms within their houses. "Tsu-chan on this side of the world has ALS. She was diagnosed when we were eight, but before that... everyone just thought she was a bit of a clumsy crybaby," she explained. "But the diagnosis changed that quite a bit and she didn't cry too much anymore but she was always interested in stuff I did with Mama when we went out for spa day. Knowing she couldn't go out to such facilities I had this one built and staffed for when she came. I also had a bunch of stuff installed to make it comfy, like the heated floors. I'm sure if Tsu-chan had mentioned wanting some kind of digital scenery Kaiba would have handed it over to me, but this was our big girl's hang out. Actually one of my first scavenger hunts was turning over a key to this room to Tsu-chan for her eleventh birthday..." she said the memories of that time playing across her face. In truth her friendship with Kaiba Tsukiko had picked right back up when she'd been transported to the other world. But pleasant memories like these were part of her happiness in moments like that. This place was used infrequently by Kimiko herself because it felt like a waste without a plus one. But knowing her friend was living a happy life as Queen of Atlantis on the other side of the world without sickness hanging over her head... she could go back to enjoying this place with new purpose.

[Bloodedge]

Just as Yugi anticipated, this room had a backstory. It couldn't have been anything else. Had it been created for a single person's use, it wouldn't have been an entire room of this magnitude. Had it been made with the intention of others being present, things wouldn't have come in twos so frequently. It was the simplest deduction to discover Kaiba Tsukiko being the only other person to frequent the spa. Her disease was something simple to figure out as well, even in spite of the media silence forced by the girl's family. With all the hullabaloo surrounding her lack of presence after reaching a certain age, a few clues made it clear that she'd inherited the disease as some rare individuals did. "That's a weirdly satisfying story," the lad mused. "I mean Kaiba's story, going from ALS to being a healthy mermaid in a fantasy world... though as far as childhood stories go, that's still pretty wholesome. Weird and indulgent... but wholesome."

In due time, Yugi's wandering and looking came to an end. He gradually made his way over to Kimiko and the wash station she drew attention to. As he took a seat, he immediately regretted leaving the heated floor. Ah, but it would be even more satisfying to return to, wouldn't it? Most likely, it would be. "Wait─" he stated, seeming to have reached an epic realization after Kimiko's story. "Does that mean I'm a big girl now? Is this girls' night? Do I get a scavenger hunt and painted nails, and... and... whatever the hell girls do at night?"

[Apollymi]

Weirdly satisfying. The story of Kaiba Tsukiko was one which Kimiko also took great satisfaction in. Knowing the girl was living a happy and healthy life somewhere was a great bit of news. That being said Yugi found that childhood story, both wholesome and weirdly indulgent. A smile crossed Kimiko's face... "Wholesome? I suppose. I am weird and indulgent, but she was my only and best friend. I'd do it again and then some, I'm happy she can do all the things she missed doing before~" she said with a casual shrug. As a person who'd always had a ridiculous amount of money, Kimiko saw absolutely no problem with spending to indulge others as much as she spent to indulge herself. This was especially true of the girl she spent her entire childhood with, throughout even her coming to terms with her own health and all. She had once said strange things to the girl, and though she did not know it, Tsukiko was at least a little responsible for Kimiko's preoccupation with death but that was another matter entirely.

Soon enough Yugi was seated and she couldn't help the look of pure shock which came over her face at the utterances he had pass his lips. Was he a big girl now? Did he get to participate in all the things big girls did? Was this girl's night? "Hehe...hehe...hahahahaha!~" the laugh that escaped Kimiko was genuine in the moment. She couldn't help it, still she was a sassy person by her own nature a bit of a sarcastic response would follow the joy. "Yeah, of course. I've definitely noticed you growing up. This was obviously my invitation to you for girl's night. Hair, nails, facials and we can talk about guys. I'm sure it'll be great~" she teased in a manner most merciless. Of course, those were all general girl's night fare. She assumed if such activities continued to adulthood they would eventually become more about relaxing, drinking and men but that wasn't really a problem either.

[Bloodedge]

Weird and indulgent was about the only way one needed to describe Ashikaga Kimiko; it basically summed up the entirety of her being. Knowing she'd managed such a healthy friendship with anyone was oddly relieving. It had to be incredibly difficult, given the type of person she... well, the types of people they both were. Even Yugi could ordain something almost resembling friendship when interacting with the youngest known Kaiba, though he could never imagine such a potent bond with anyone.

What he could imagine, was a couple of choice things from the apparent girls' night activity list Kimiko spoke of. Well... maybe it wasn't all exactly as intended, but they'd both already admitted to how simple things became inappropriate in their minds. "I guess I'm already signed up for hair, but sign me up for facials too. I hear that's what the best big girls are into nowadays. You're the host though, so you can go first~" he joked. Finally, Yugi reclined himself in preparation for... whatever zillion yen shampoo Kimiko was likely to put in his hair. "Or we can share all our dirty secrets, compare measurements and all that!"

[Apollymi]

Kimiko and Tsukiko were indeed both strange individuals. When they were younger, they'd been inseparable to the point that the true depth of Tsukiko's illness was something that partially contributed to a strange shift in Kimiko's interests. Once upon a time a young Kimiko had claimed to she would learn how to communicate with the dead, so she'd never have to give up her best friend. And Tsukiko was the type of person who did not feel emotionally drained while hanging out with Kimiko so they served to help each other a great deal. Whatever the case, Yugi's joke about girl's night turned into a dealer's choice included facials. Something like that could be taken a ton of ways and Kimiko took them in all necessary ways, including the dirty ones. "Oh? Yeah well they are the best... gotta help maintain that youthful appearance. I had one today it was pretty great~" she said offering a sly wink. Adding a facial to his haircare was hardly something to worry about. Since he was now properly situated at the wash basin she walked around the other side. She chose a gentle cleanser and toner to be used on his face while making the water for his hair luke warm.

As for measurements and dirty secrets she had several things to say. "80/57/80... are my measurements. As for dirty secrets, I'll need a bit more guidance than that~" she mused as she began the process of washing his face. A little bit of water and some gentle tingling bubbles would be moved along his face and jaw. Gently as it would dirt would be lifted from his pores as those circular motions were used to massage around his face. It also smelled a bit minty but that made it one of Kimiko's favorites as far as its cleansing properties were concerned. A cabinet of heated, damp and sterile towels would be used to remove it keeping his pores open before the application of a toner. All the while missing eyes, nose and mouth for obvious reasons. She'd definitely done this before but it was all worth it because it was a great opening to her actual plan for the day.

[Bloodedge]

"Oh?" Yugi questioned. Ah yes, he did remember the occasion of Kimiko's earlier... face mask. It was definitely a great moment. "Well, indulgent as you are, you should go for another at some point. I think it'd be pretty easy to get enough stuff for it." A chortle slipped through Yugi's nose as the cleansing of his face began. Interesting. When he spoke of facials, the implication of actually wanting one was not intended. Still, he wasn't going to say no after the process started.

Not long after starting, Kimiko decided to answer a question that wasn't really asked. She gave her measurements with the lightest prompting, and in a single moment made sense of all those hidden assets beneath the clothing she chose to wear. "That... makes a lot of sense. Without the clothes, it was kinda surprising you managed to hide all that. Mathematically, it doesn't sound too ridiculous now," he admitted. Ah, there were some dirty secrets to be shared on her part, were there? He'd be keen to find out whatever those were. "At your earliest convenience. I'd give my measurements, but silly me, I've never taken any for some reason. Maybe next time?"

[Apollymi]

Ah, the cheeky commentary returned almost vengefully. Statements about Kimiko's indulgent nature and the fact that she should seek another facial came with a bit of a laugh from Yugi as she actually began the process of something about his face. "I'm sure I will... I do like to make sure I am well taken care of. The skin care is top notch~" she mused. It really was great how easily such a thing was brought up again. Better still that it had no negative connotations. Kimiko had always worried she'd eventually be a bit much for most people, but Yugi himself seemed to be up to the challenge.

Among these challenges the wonderous understanding of her measurements and how she managed to hide the most of her assets beneath her clothing. Apparently without her clohting it'd been ridiculous imagining her hiding everything but with the numbers and associated experience it did not seem too strange now. "You'd be surprised at the magic of a really good seamstress and knowing what clothing does what for your shape can do for you," she said with a smirk crossing her lips. "I think I manage mostly unassuming pretty well... as far as my figure is concerned~" she added as she finished up work on his face. With the cleanser removed by warm towel and toner applied it'd be left to air dry for a few seconds while she busied herself with opening the packaging for a mask. "I'll have your measurements in a few hours... not to worry," she said most casually. "As for dirty secrets, hm." she gave it a bit of consideration but decided against answering directly. "I have a few but wouldn't it be more fun if you guessed. I'm sure I could nudge you to the right line of thought if I mentioned a couple of associated words. I used to run a club in middle school, but can you guess what it was?~" she asked in a teasing tone. "I can tell you, there are several hints of it. You wouldn't even need to know this me to figure it out~" she mused gently. Once upon a time, Ashikaga Kimiko had worn a ton of dark clothing, makeup and been obsessed with the occult and death in general. Ah, that was pretty obvious given her first Avatar was meant to be a transcendent necromancer at some point.

[Bloodedge]

Kimiko liked making sure she was well-taken care of. Noted. As far as Yugi was concerned, she hardly had to put forth all of the effort herself. His brain was functioning at full pervert capacity after dealing with a swollen member for so long, so it was with zero difficulty that he blurted out a response. "Nothing to worry about. I'll take responsibility for that. Trust me, I think I'll always be willing to give you a facial~" he said in the most strangely lighthearted manner.

It was indeed some form of magic to conceal the figure of Ashikaga Kimiko so effectively, even if it wasn't so difficult to pull off mathematically. It was not true, however, that Kimiko managed any amount of unassuming visage with that little trick of hers. "Huh. I didn't expect you to be so very wrong about something. A perverted guy can always tell your figure's at least good, even if he can't tell exactly how good. Trust me on that. Besides, you can't stop people from seeing your face. Though, you might succeed at putting them off with the expression─" he chimed. Moving on, Kimiko addressed her alleged dirty secrets by granting Yugi's brain a chance to work. With his eyes closed and most of his body at rest, he sorted through clues mentally. A club in middle school? The options were almost a given. He didn't have to know the current version of her to figure out the answer? There were only a few other versions of the lass, and only one of them truly outstanding enough to be linked to a darker secret. Seventy-two seconds passed while Yugi perused his own mind, and then, he spoke. "You took the news that badly, huh? Must've been tough finding out the occult in this world had no answers to someone's death."

[Apollymi]

Strange. Yugi's next sentiment could be taken as deeply perverted but it was also exceedingly lighthearted. He'd always be willing to give her a facial... that was, "Good. I'll always be willing to take one~" she stated in an equally lighthearted manner. Of course, there were few things she'd always willingly take from Yugi but all those things she enjoyed were definitely at the top of the list. Moving on from tis point apparently Kimiko was quite wrong about the amount of unassuming she normally managed to be. According to Yugi, whose word as a pervert was worth more than any others, guys could always tell when girls had something going on underneath their clothes even if they weren't sure exactly what it was. What was more, he even claimed it was only possible to sometimes off-put men with the look on her face, but she still couldn't hide it. "You know what... that actually makes sense. I had noticed myself that my normal expression only seems to discourage in the moment. The real annoying ones will come back after putting their egos back together and try again. Still haven't figured out a surefire way to get rid of those types," she said giving it a gentle amount of thought. All the while she laid a mask down on Yugi's face and placed a clean warm towel on top of his closed eyes for the sake of keeping circulation under his eyes to a maximum, avoiding bags.

"That will do for now... it's pre-wash time," she said gathering a bit of a similarly based product to the ones she'd chosen for shampoo and conditioner and soaking the hair on his head in that. It worked both to detangle and strip the first layers of gunk from his hair. Opening up the entirety of his head to a deep cleanse which was always needed when routines were being altered. Ah, and after just a few seconds he apparently had something to say, she took the news of her friends impending doom badly and it was a shame to find out this world's occult did not have the answers she was looking for? "Sou ka, that is amazing. Really spot on..." she mentioned with a smirk. "I did take it badly. She was my best friend and finding people who get me is pretty rare. The occult outside of a fantasy world does not really help, but it did help me make peace with the whole thing. I even once claimed I'd figure out a way to chat with her regardless, and once threatened to trap her soul and keep it with me. Not something I could have actually done at the time but I can't say I like losing anything..." she clarified the greater details.

[Bloodedge]

Though Yugi's eyes did not open, his brow rose when Kimiko spoke again. She'd always be willing to take one, she said. What an interesting admission. It was ludicrous to think anyone of sound mind and responsible activity would say something like that. In all fairness, this was far from the first time something so ridiculous fell from Kimiko's mouth. "Uh-huh. I'll keep that in mind," he declared. He wasn't exactly sure what else to say; it seemed he was busy being dumbfounded by excitement. His crotch was probably speaking loudly enough to make up the difference anyway. As for getting rid of those who approached Kimiko in spite of her off-putting expression, there was no known way to deter them... but one surefire way to defer instead. "As the alleged Warlock of Wrath, I freely offer my services! I'm not sure if you know this or not, but checking people for undeserved crappy ego is one of my favorite things to do."

Soon, there was an unfamiliar plaster-like substance being applied to Yugi's face. With this, came the placement of a warm cloth over his eyes. He didn't seem very keen on opening his eyes, but it now seemed he wouldn't be doing so regardless. The first washing of his hair began whilst he could only feel it. While that all took place, they spoke of Kimiko's past dealings with her middle school Occult Club, and the reason behind its creation. She claimed she'd once even threatened to trap her friend's soul and keep possession of it. To that, Yugi laughed. "That sounds like you taken to an extreme. At least everything worked out in the end, right? I wouldn't recommend making that threat again now, though; it could be taken seriously. I doubt it'll be long before death is your plaything entirely," he surmised, having rather high expectations of the girl's developmental speed.

[Apollymi]

"Be sure to do so..." Kimiko couldn't help the quippy remarks. She truly would always be willing to ah... take the money shot so to speak. Whether that was directly to her face, on her body or down her throat did not seem to matter too much to the lass. Perhaps that was a strange kink to have, but she'd yet to hear a negative bit of commentary about the things that she took interest in. Moreover apparently Yugi was willing to help her with the problem of her egotistical and entitled male following. A smirk came to her face as she took in that information. "Hai hai, I can promise you'll have work if that's the job you'd like. And you'll be able to check the egos of all until your heart is content," her words were joking but also the fair truth of the situation.

Moving on from that point she got the first wash of his hair done as his mask settled on his face. He seemed quite relaxed aside from the perpetual tent he was pitching. The fact that he had no idea of her plans for a moment like this made the entire thing that much more entertaining as a build up. Even as they continued having more civil conversation, Kimiko would only do so much work before she scratched the itch she was creating for herself. "Yeah, everything worked out great. Finding her of all people in the other world was probably one of the best things that could have happened for me," she said. Even though Atlantis had been in the sort of state she couldn't appreciate, getting it where it needed to be and finding her best friend was among the best things that could have ever happened. Seeing her happy and healthy and knowing their friendship could continue neigh infinitely was the best part. "And I wouldn't say something like that unless I meant it. I can already hold souls in that cage I picked up... but I don't know yet if I have a limit on their types~" she mused ever so gently. All the while she gave his hair the first rinse until the water ran clear again. All the water on her floors was triple filtered to avoid mineral deposits. One literally couldn't be cleaner than one could in her wing of this house. She was almost prepared to begin a proper shampooing but first she'd need to remove the mask from his face. Once it was all dry, it could be peeled off in a single piece which she would take to doing leaving the cloth over his eyes all the while. Additionally at her own thoughts about it she'd step away opening one of those silvery portals to a drawer in her bedroom containing an unopened variety pack of condoms in Yugi's size. A smirk crossed her face as she picked one with a special lubricant for both of their pleasure and thought over the best time to apply it.

[Bloodedge]

"Right," the lad confirmed. Without a doubt, that tidbit of information was never going to leave his mind. Hell, he may even find it pushed to the surface at inopportune moments in the future. Now that Yugi had agreed to attend school more frequently, would he walk right into the issue of mid-class, badly timed erections just before being called to the front of the room? That had always been a frightening thought throughout early puberty, and now it had returned just briefly. He had something better to think of though, at least in the form of venting general frustrations against idiots stepping into his newly-claimed territory. "I'll take it. Always wanted to look like a badass," he commented.

Yugi could commiserate with the plight of Kimiko's past self in many ways. The struggle of dealing with the impending doom of a loved one, trying and failing to find answers, and finding them alive and better than ever in an incredible fantasy world─ they were all common points between the two. The only difference, in fact, was the death of Yumi, something he still hadn't figured out since finding her alive again. "I know the feeling. I couldn't even believe it was Yumi we found in Eonis, until she confirmed it herself. It was such a relief, I didn't know what to do with myself for the longest time." With that information shared between the two, Yugi was given a quick explanation of that strange cage the Avatar Miki acquired. Of course holding souls was its purpose. She picked it up during a journey to the underworld, as a Necromancer seeking transcendence. Such a perfect pickup. "You should definitely find out. It might combo well with some things," he said with knowledge of her storage realm's capabilities yet to be unlocked.

[Apollymi]

Smirking. Kimiko spent a lot of her time now smirking, smiling and being in a generally good mood. Whether they were discussing food, games or debauchery she was in general just very happy to be around Yugi. What was more this lingering effect on her person made their entire interactions that much more interesting. Moreover Yugi agreed to taking on the job of protecting her from other entitled men and claimed it would give him a chance to be badass. "You do have your moments. I'd enjoy witnessing more~" she mused. Overall she found his moments entertaining to watch. If they were being enacted on her behalf all the better, though it was strange to think she enjoyed that as an aide. Whatever, it probably just fed into their on going, and developing relationship dynamic.

Hair was being washed in the meantime and he was discussing is similar situation. For him finding his younger sister post her death was something good and amazing and unbelievable. "It's quite a bit of good fortune. We should celebrate~" she said those words and meant them, in two very different ways. One of those ways had something to do with actual involvement of his sister and her best friend, but the other was her intention for this entire situation. That condom she had opened with a hand and teeth as she finished cleansing his hair the first time. Subsequently, she'd take to carefully lowering his zipper and if she freed him she'd very simply go about sheathing the tool at hand. All the while she continued on with the conversation concerning the avatar Miki and her transcendentalism. "Hai hai, I'll make sure to give it a more thorough inspection a bit later. Those words make it sound like I am going to find out something shocking later~" she mentioned, having knowledge of the sorts of things Yugi built into her one gift, she wouldn't be surprised if she discovered a 'well of souls' type feature somewhere along the line. Regardless there were to be more pressing matters soon enough, as she slipped into his lap in this reclining chair and took up washing his hair a second time while aligning herself panties pushed to the side to slide down onto his cock.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi did have his moments, but they weren't exactly the moments he wanted for himself. Most of them were simply a loss of composure, or something to that effect. He'd call those moments embarrassing if Kimiko and her various forms didn't seem interested in them for some strange reason. "I'd like some better moments. Whenever I have them, you'll be the first to see. Well... maybe the second. Whoever's ass I'm kicking might get to see first," Yugi said, laughing at the thought of some hypothetical future.

Moving on, Kimiko claimed they should celebrate good fortune. Sadly, there was only one thing Yugi could think of that would count as celebratory. Perhaps it was the fault of his incessant erection, or perhaps it was simply the way his mind always worked; he couldn't currently tell. Luckily for him, he obviously wasn't the only person thinking that way. He heard a strange tearing sound, then moments later, he felt a hand upon the zipper of his pants. The lass continued speaking as if nothing was amiss, all while releasing his groin and sliding an unexpected condom onto it. He still couldn't see a thing. She was talking about experiencing something shocking later, and he was in shock at that very moment. "So what, we're just gonna keep carrying on like you're no─ah!" It was too late to speak a proper sentence, obviously. Ah yes, the washing of his hair had already begun, and with it came the sudden straddling of his manhood. The moment of insertion was right in the middle of a would-be sentence, effectively halting even his thoughts in an instant. "Right... yeah. Celebrating."

[Apollymi]

Yugi claimed to want better moments. Strangely he claimed she would either be the first or second to witness his impending greatness. "I'll be sure to keep an eye out. I can't have someone whose ass you're kicking get the drop on me~" she said playfully. Of course she meant this, she planned to see all Yugi had in mind for dealing with the constant problems one like herself faced when it came to peers and those who wished for more than they could possibly bargain for. Beyond this point though she'd been carefully exposing his manhood, making sure a condom was in place and even preparing herself to mount it.

By the time he thought to question this, he was mid-sentence and she was lowering herself onto him. "Aaah!~ I don't really know what you were getting at..." she mused teasingly. "It is perfectly normal to take a seat while in a spa. The seat just looked so inviting I couldn't really say no~" Yes, that was the idea though. Strangely the lass seemed both distracted and not. Still willingly massaging his scalp while having her insides rubbed as she moved her hips. "And yes, it's definitely a celebration!~" she would from that point forward move her body chasing a deep tingle within her loins as she scratched an itch developed over time. All the while she be rubbing his scalp moving her hips, up and down and in tiny circles beginning to knock away at her own depths with him as the object of her usage. She saw no problem with this... and his maintained erection and lack of protest said he didn't either.

[Bloodedge]

There were two people in this room who had no idea what Yugi was getting at. By the time Kimiko counted herself as one of them, Yugi had already forgotten even his spoken words. In keeping with the topic though, Kimiko spoke of taking the 'inviting' seat that happened to be in front of her, simply because doing so was normal in a spa. One couldn't argue with the logic... nor could Yugi manage an argument against anything at the time. His mouth was slightly agape, but words seemed nowhere near the tip of his tongue. It was fine to have zero words though, wasn't it? This was a celebration, after all. Besides, he could stand to offer some sort of payment for the hair-washing service... even if it seemed he was the one being paid, from his own perspective.

Lo and behold, the young man would eventually find words in that occupied brain of his. It was with no small amount of effort that he managed to produce them between this gasp and that moan, but he could at least manage coherence. "So... this is how we celebrate now? If so, I should tell you that every day is national something-or-other day. I celebrate all of them," he insisted, knowing the denizens of the internet had an interesting habit of making a holiday of every calendar day in a year. If this was their confirmed method of celebrating something, he'd have an excuse to celebrate for no legitimate reason at all!

[Apollymi]

Kimiko knew that Yugi would have no arguments to offer her. In the last 24 hours he'd not said no to a single sexual offer she'd made to him. Beyond that with him always at the ready she could easily satisfy her own sexual desires. It was fun as a notion always having him as a ready and willing participant regardless of when or how she decided sex was on the table. But she also wasn't unfair in the slightest, so if he made a similar decision she too would go along with it.

Speaking of going along with something she finished massaging his scalp and finger separating locks of his hair. She'd reached all aspects of him with sudsy Acai Berry goodness and as such she should begin rinsing his hair again. A small hose taken up she sprayed water along his hair line, making clear water carry the soapy residue from his hair down the drain. All the while those movements of her hips never seemed to cease. Beyond that the lad eventually found words and what interesting ones they were. He made the claim that if this was how the celebrated that there were always holidays to celebrate and that he apparently would celebrate them all. "Yes. I figure if it's just the two of us we should always celebrate this way~" she mused as the tingles began deep in her spine. This was mostly because she'd lowered herself into his lap, beginning a spinning grind as she aimed to cleans the hairs on the back of his neck. Deciding both to hold him closer and to put less outward movement in. Doing so was great for her, causing her to moan happily as she rocked her hips. "And if you celebrate all the national and international holidays... I have to celebrate them with you. Your happiness is my happiness~" she claimed with a wide grin. "Just make sure you let me know when the holidays are extra special~" she moaned as she planted her lips against the side of his recently cleaned cheek. Having successfully reached the point of cleaning his hair. The water would stop momentarily as she reached for the bottle of conditioner changing her angle just a little. Obviously this was fine right? Enjoyable for them both? She continued rocking those hips of hers even as the pressure and building sensation reached its maximum. By the time it happened she was properly aligned again and sinking herself back down into his lap. Sharing two very interesting words with him as her sex tensed around him. "I'm cumming♥!~"

[Bloodedge]

Such debauchery as celebration between just the two of them seemed like the perfect plan to Yugi. Whether observing birthdays, victory, or a long-awaited meeting after even a few long hours apart, he could easily enjoy a jubilee of this particular type. "... Bet," Yugi asserted, the most blatant of grins on his face. He wondered if things would have been even better if he could see, but thought the better of it. No, without sight at the time, every little thing was a great surprise. He couldn't rightly consider losing an advantage like that.

It seemed they would both be celebrating every random holiday as decided by the internet. Shared happiness was an interesting concept. It was quite strange, but something Yugi could find himself getting behind quite easily. Well... there were quite a few things Yugi could see himself getting behind with ease, but the primary object happened to be atop him at the time. Perhaps later, he'd enact that vision. This round of hair treatment seemed to be approaching its end, so there was a chance that... oh, no. Yugi was approaching his end just as rapidly, and so, too, was Kimiko herself. Yugi assumed himself alone in this situation for a moment, thinking only to distract himself with ongoing banter. "Sure, but what do we do for the extra special ones?" he questioned. Moments later, an announcement from Kimiko and the accompanying tension of her womanhood took the lad by surprise. She was what now? "Eh?! What? I thought I was early!" he blurted out mere seconds before that poor condom became far fuller than it ever would be via his tool alone. Shock seemed to act only as fuel to the fire in his case; that was even sooner than he'd already been expecting.

[Apollymi]

Another agreement. Kimiko could see the lad's face from her vantage point and knew he was smiling about the whole of it. Of course they could celebrate any and every holiday and victory with debauchery. And of course, she'd be more than willing to be both aggressor and receiver of any and all attempts. Such a thing she viewed innately as fair. "Deal. Kiss on it!" she said leaning her face into his and meeting his lips with her own for a brief moment.

Then again it had to be brief, considering she had an announcement to make and other things to do. Yugi had begun talking of what to do for extra special holidays. Hm, she had to think about that... "Dealer's fantasy choice!" she chimed, knowing that special holidays should lead to special treatment. Regardless there was the impending doom of her in a moment like this which was apparently greeted with confusion and the spilling of Yugi's own seed within the condom she'd placed on him. According to the lad himself, he thought he'd been early. A nice moan and relieved smile crossed the face of one Ashikaga Kimiko. She'd yet to remove herself from his lap and was content to remove the cover from his eyes instead. A moment of eye contact was required here and now, to accentuate her point. "You weren't early, Yugi. By that I mean as long as you are willing to see me through even after the fact, you can feel free to cum as you like~ I really don't mind at all~" she mused happily pecking his lips. Only after such a moment was settled would she even try to begin separating their bodies, so she could add the leave-in conditioner to his hair and see what kind of fluff she got to work with.

[Bloodedge]

And so, a deal was made and sealed with a kiss Yugi never signed up for. Of course, not signing up for it was never going to stop the pursing of his lips against hers, briefly as contact lasted. It seemed short-lived, however, due to the necessity of further clarification. Their celebrations of 'special' holidays would be something chosen in the moment by whichever party had purpose. Much could be done with that. When the time to choose came around, Yugi wouldn't even know what to select from a thousand options. He did know one thing, though. "So rolling with the day for all the others, then? I wonder what today's supposed to be─" he said with fleeting curiosity.

Speaking of fleeting, Kimiko seemed content to flee after the most interesting announcement he'd heard all day. First and foremost was the announcement itself. He could let loose at will, so long as Kimiko was brought to satisfaction as well? Easily done, he thought. In fact, Yugi found himself having no issue remaining ready for another round immediately after ejaculation─ something he thought was a myth until experiencing it for himself. Oh... and here he was, experiencing that sensation once again while Kimiko tried separating them. Quickly, Yugi made use of his restored sight by pinpointing the girl's hips, taking hold of her and maintaining their current position. Whether she moved or not was of no concern to him, but he wasn't very fond of the whole separation thing presently. "I bet you don't mind. Hang on a minute, though. Y'know, just to uh... make sure the condom doesn't slip off from an early exit. Yeah. That'd be dangerous maybe. . ."

[Apollymi]

Yes, rolling with the special of the day for days without specific orientation brought about by either of them was definitely the way to go. "Hai hai, that sounds like it would be fairest. Besides... we could both have even more fun if we go about it that way~" she said seemingly pleased. It was a thing of note that he had nothing negative say, not about the sex, kisses or reckless abandon with which Ashikaga Kimiko approached all things sexual in their relationship. "I also wonder what today is, but I am sure like everything else, there is probably an app for that~" she stated plainly. She wasn't at all against a notification to find out what kind of day it was going to be and use it to plan a sexual adventure of a different sort every day of the year. That sounded like a grand use of her spare time in all actuality.

While Kimiko had started work to separate them, it seemed that Yugi was not so keen to have them be parted. She could still feel the firmness of his cock where it rested within her and now accompanying that feeling was the sensation of his hands upon her hips. What was this?? He claimed that it could be dangerous maybe. A smirk most wicked passed her lips as she settled against him. If he did not want to separate immediately, she had nothing against remaining in his lap. She'd instead go about her way detangling and applying the leave in conditioner to his hair while using a comb to detangle it from her current position. "Oh? Well I wouldn't want to flirt with unnecessary danger~" she teased gently. Even if there was no real risk involved, she had to admit that she enjoyed staying so close to him. And her current activity would leave her chest brushing against his. Her arms wrapped around his head and her face dangerously close to his own. What an oddly intimate thing they had going on here, even without him being buried within her core currently. Actually, the thought of that alone was a pretty solid turn-on for Kimiko, so she'd work at his hair, giving it the proper fluff and attention while remaining in the closest possible proximity.

[Bloodedge]

What a plan. The future held every opportunity to celebrate any random, senseless thing with current activities as standard practice, while any legitimate holidays or celebrations could be observed with something more... out of the box, so to speak. Yugi agreed that there was much more fun to be had that way, and beyond that, Kimiko's mind was in the right place for the strange collection of 365+ 'national' holidays. "It's not much of an app at all. Type any random day into UrbanDictionary, and you'll see at least one random day. Looking them up now could be worth more than a laugh; that's pretty exciting," he admitted. There were no limits to the Aiba teen's perversion, and few limits to his bucket list. A few hundred selections as a guide was perhaps just what he needed to be decisive.

There was no opposition to Yugi's act of holding the lass in place. In fact, now that his eyes were uncovered, he had an interesting first-hand view of the most intriguing smirk. Kimiko's face showed a level of interest in the perverse that he never expected to see genuinely in a real human. The intimacy of their current position was one thing, but that particular connection was surreal. "Right? We don't want any weird accidents. Staying inside is usually the safer option," Yugi stated in the most casual manner, all while the truth revealed itself via... of course, that damn twitchy dick of his. He wasn't even certain what the cause was this time. It was probably some combination of five or six different things happening in the moment, none involving the conditioning of his hair.

[Apollymi]

A new and fun way to amuse themselves every single day... that sounded about right. Kimiko actually found herself genuinely looking forward to their future adventures. Of course, this could only be further punctuated by the knowledge of where to find the listing for these holidays. "Alright, adding to the list, scanning UrbanDictionary once a week for general outline of activities. Gotcha covered~" she mused seemingly pleased with yet another arrangement. In fact, Kimiko could see such a thing as a guide for their obviously near endless libido. She couldn't help but look forward to a future full of adventure for them.

Beyond that point, there would be the detangled masses of his hair and their now great smell as they air dried in her fingers. The happy incident of remaining in his lap promoted intimacy which she hadn't realized she wanted until it was happening. All done with that she reached over for a terry cloth towel to get rid of all the water droplets a top his head. Leaving his hair moisturized fluffy but only a little damp. But there were almost more important things to speak about... like happy accidents and staying inside. "I might be a pervert... I heard that sentence and even if it was innocent I didn't take it that way~" she stated in a direct manner. She couldn't really explain the workings of her brain so she would simply tell him the things she thought as they crossed her mind. "But I agree, staying inside is definitely something worth doing~" that was... A tease? A flirt? An offer? Maybe all of those things applied but Ashikaga Kimiko had definitely finished this lad's hair and was now simply relaxing with a still twitchy member buried inside of her.

[Bloodedge]

Kimiko wasn't the only one looking forward to deviance of the future. "Nice. I'll look into some other stuff," he said, knowing there was a great deal more worth finding throughout the internet. A guide of some sort would go a long way for them. In a single day, the bucket list of many normal individuals had already been filled. Their combined bucket list would probably take tens of years to complete, based on expressed curiosity and shared experiences thus far.

As another example of their synchronized deviant minds was how Kimiko processed his little joke. When he spoke of staying inside, he did mean it as a double entendre. He got the impression, though, that it was received in a third way. There was a quirk to Yugi's brow, and then came the statement of agreement from Kimiko. How was he to take that? Well, he was already inside as it were, though there was a single issue to take with that. Shamefully, Yugi had entered an abode and left his raincoat on. "I know what you mean. That wasn't supposed to be innocent, but I think I'm only just catching up to how not innocent it is coming from you," he confessed. With the drying of his hair, Yugi assumed they were all but done here. As such, he propped himself up on both elbows, further closing any distance between their bodies. "Maybe, next time, I'll make myself more at home. I figure it's probably rude to wear a coat in someone else's house. Sumanai~"

[Apollymi]

Partners. Kimiko had used this word to describe them but they were partners in several different ways. Partners in deviance being the primary connection. Of course, they were invested in their shared deviance, enough that they each decided to take on a different aspect of it to look into it. Once they were done discussing those matters there were others. She'd gone on to finish with his hair relatively, going to far as to make sure he'd only have to deal with slightly damp locks in the interim. And now that he realized he was mostly finished he sat up a bit bringing them even closer together than they had been before. Apparently he only realized how much his most recent statement could be taken. "Well, if you ever need something like that clarified... I freely offer my services~" she said sharing a bright smile. Of course she meant it, knowing she could find the smut in even the most innocent statements allowed.

Whatever the case they were having a slightly veiled conversation about his current resting place. No coat he claimed? That would be an interesting turn of events. Kimiko herself looked forward to such an adventure. "Oh, well don't beat yourself up about it... I will work on being a better host!~" she chimed happily. Of course, she fully intended to have a less protected experience sometime in the near future, but there was a bit of implied danger by having one in a few different types of scenario leading up to the free-for-all. In fact just thinking about it several different kinds of thoughts passed through her mind, "I'll definitely make it the sort of invitation that can't be confused with anything else~" she stated. When? Where? How? Why? Those were all questions which would leave them amused later. "So... hair is all done. Facial is taken care of... anything else before we make our way to an epic co-op session?" she asked of the lad. Most of the things involving this place had been her choice, but if he had anything else he wanted to do, she'd be fine with that too.

[Bloodedge]

"I bet you do," Yugi said regarding the girl's offered 'services' as she put it. As far as clarification was concerned, it was hardly worth questioning how she intended to present it. He was quite certain it wouldn't come in the form of speech most times, but given the topic, he thought... why not? "Feel free to clarify that, then. I doubt you're talking about giving a verbal explanation when you say that."

In response to his mention of rude coats in the house of others, Kimiko stressed the idea of being a better host next time. Strange. There was no fault to be given to the host in this case; it was just rude of him to appear so uncomfortable when visiting, obviously. "Well, I've got no complaints about the hospitality. But, if you insist," he countered. It wasn't as if Yugi would say no to a more welcoming, more conspicuous invitation in future. As a matter of fact, that sounded like the perfect deal to have him rushing toward the point of interest. Whatever the case, Yugi received confirmation that there was nothing more to be done with his hair and face. Did he have anything else to do? That was a somewhat loaded question, given their current positioning. Alas, they couldn't just debauch the whole night away, or they'd never get around to having fun with their games. As that was the whole point of this trip, he couldn't have it shunned completely. "If I say what I really want, we really won't be ready to game until your dad is waiting on us for that dinner arrangement. So, against my stronger brain's wishes... I'm gonna begrudgingly say we're good to go," he said after a few moments of genuine consideration to the contrary.

[Apollymi]

A strange conversation between them and the added implications of their words. Apparently he did not doubt her offering up her services and beyond that claimed that it was not a verbal thing she'd offer as clarification. "I mean, words mean a lot but not always. A bit of action at the right times is way more pointed~" Kimiko mentioned with that lightly flirty tone she always seemed to have.

Whatever the case the metaphor of being a visitor in someone else's home seemed to be playing out pretty reasonably. Both had points to make and neither directly argued against the other. Instead they both thought to be better themselves for their next little meeting in such a way. Kimiko thought this rather interesting considering how she started her day and knowing full well that the pair of them could easily diverge from normal plans into seedy ones without much thought. "Of course, I am willing to be as hospitable and welcoming as possible and I mean that in all ways it can be taken," she said with a cheeky smirk crossing her face. Ah, but there was the matter of their designated gaming session. Begrudgingly he'd say he wanted nothing else, it was even against the better judgement of his stronger brain. Oh? That had to be the brain still buried within her folds right just this moment. "Hai hai... I understand how you feel but I do actually really want to play~" she mused. So in a moment like this, she'd give him one more kiss on the lips while aiming a proper dismount from the lad. All the while reaching down to hold the condom firm to the base of him to avoid spillage. Once both her feet were on the floor again she'd make her way over to a wash sink and clean her hands off. "Come on Yugi. It's time to game~" she'd mention willing to lead him back to her room.

[Bloodedge]

Words meant a lot, she said... but not always. That all sounded like little more than a convenient excuse for something Yugi was willing to sign up for any day, any time. It didn't matter if there was no verbal communication for those explanations, as... oh. Kimiko was doing the same thing a second time. "At it again, huh?" he said, remembering a similar moment from several minutes prior. The return of that series Bleach was going to be a long-awaited one without question.

Their conversations were never going to do Yugi any good while he was making attempts to... well, to do anything nonsexual. It felt as if every time Kimiko opened her mouth to speak, he was given immediate reason to throb. Such was the reason he started doing so again, even while Kimiko went about dismounting him. Sure, it could have been the movement; it could have even been the hand grasping his tool at the time. Actually, both of those things only contributed more to the desirous reaction of Yugi's groin; the pulsing had already begun from speech alone. Yugi sat there, dumbfounded by how easily his arousal reared its head as of late. He'd long since been desensitized by hentai and the like; this didn't normally happen anymore. Was reality so much different, or was there something else to it? Whatever the answer, there he was, twitching away inside a spent condom and watching the ass of someone washing their hands. How low he was, even doing these things unabashedly until his most casual rise from that reclined chair moments later. It was time to game; he just had to ignore that erection until it went away. Though... there was one minor issue. "Wait. What do I do with this here?" he asked, pointing out the condom... or his firm member? He was pointing at one of the two things, certainly.

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, Kimiko was at something again. A smile crossed her face as she she feigned innocence. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Yugi~" she mentioned happily. Of course, even she realized that sometimes she was being flirtier than she needed to be. But she also realized that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing to keep him on his toes. What they had to do for the next few hours wasn't anything particularly bad nor did she really care too much one way or the other the amount of anything they got done. She was used to being a bit horny while needing to do something else anyway... and it never really got in the way of anything.

Since physically meeting up with Yugi, she'd found herself purposefully provoking him a bit at a time. She also could oddly always feel his eyes on her. So of course, she couldn't help but give her rear a gentle wave as she washed her hands and all that. Maybe eventually it wouldn't be so fun to tease him, but she'd felt the twitching of his cock as she dismounted so she thought that illogical. Of course, they'd also recently had a lot of sex and by accounts of normal people should be spent but neither of them ever seemed to be anything but moving towards the next big moment. Regardless when he pointed at his member and asked what he was to do with it, she gave it a bit of serious consideration. "That question is pretty open to interpretation and very loaded~" she mentioned. Of course, given their previous decision she could take it one way for now, she tapped a tile on the wall which caused a chute to open which would lead down to an incinerator. "Incinerator for the condom, secondary wash basin and warm towels are right there if you're feeling them~" she said pointing to the left of the incinerator. This room was very thoughtfully put together and it was far from the only room on this floor that had been given that kind of consideration. In the moment it was her turn to watch before they exited the spa and headed back to the room for the sake of gaming.

[Bloodedge]

"Uh-huh," Yugi replied, immediately flattening his facial expression as a show of mockery. She knew without a doubt what he was talking about, regardless of her refusal to admit it. The next few hours, the next few days, even the next several years were liable to be full of flirting, deviance and sass. It was only right to respond as such with Kimiko deciding to be an eternal tease.

Ah, but she wasn't alone. Yugi had asked a somewhat loaded question, whether intentional or otherwise. The realization of an additional meaning struck him only after Kimiko spoke. "Oh... well, I guess both, since they're both your fault," he insisted. It was she who put that thing on him, and she who caused his additional stiffness problem only to worsen it with that little display at the sink. As a 'fix' for both, an unnecessary technology was revealed to produce a chute... to an incinerator... in a spa. Not far from it was a wash basin, and he supposed with both things readily available, it was in his best interest to walk over. Upon reaching the incinerator, Yugi tugged away at the condom until it finally slipped off. Upon tossing it, he moved to the basin and began the very strange process of washing an erection. Interestingly enough, the process of doing so was almost... slow masturbation with a wet cloth─

[Apollymi]

He wasn't buying it? Ah... that made sense. Yugi had already proven himself to be one of the few who completely understood the nature of one like Ashikaga Kimiko. He could easy see through her feigned innocence all the way to that deviant core of hers. Whatever the case she'd continue on with her act of innocence if only because it was now very amusing. "What? What are you making that face for?" she asked playing at aghast while barely holding back the laughter behind her raised hand.

Ah what was more, both situations currently on Yugi's plate were apparently Kimiko's fault. That mock shocked face of hers became more exaggerated! "Me? I obviously can't be held responsible~" she said in a manner most teasing. Still, she'd be left to watch him go about his cleaning up with eyes locked in place. Where? On Yugi of course. She couldn't really help herself, watching him get all cleaned up was rather interesting, but it didn't need to be that he was doing. She probably could have watched him do just about anything and found it at least a little entertaining. Still, she couldn't keep herself from talking at least a bit so as she leaned against the door frame she watched unabashedly and commented. "Having fun, Yugi?" she asked with a small smirk appearing on her face.

[Bloodedge]

He wasn't going to explain his expression. There was no need; they both knew the truth of this moment, and they both knew what would eventually come of it. "Wouldn't you like to know?" is how he decided to answer in the end. She kept diverting, so why shouldn't he? So long as she didn't confess, he wouldn't comply. Such would be the spiteful nature he maintained for ages to come, whether he was the only one being such a way or not.

Worse yet, Kimiko went on to shirk responsibility for his current... issues. How she thought anyone would ever believe that, well... that mystery could probably become one of the world's wonders twice over. "You can and will! Either take responsibility, or have it forced on you when you least expect it!" he announced. Carrying on, Yugi scrubbed his shaft until his actions were brought to a very abrupt halt. Ah, there was yet another thing Kimiko could be blamed for─ stopping his movements. Was he having fun? Far from it, actually. "Definitely not. Even if I wanted to 'have fun' with this, it's been way too many years for me to actually enjoy my own hand. This is just the easy way to clean it while it's like this. Having fun staring?" With that final question, Yugi finished cleaning himself off and stepped away from the wash basin. At long last, he could fasten his trousers again! It would have been quite awkward to walk out into the hall and be seen by someone... though it didn't seem there were any others on this level of the mansion presently, based on earlier observation. "Anyway, finally ready to move now~"

[Apollymi]

Oh? Snark. She liked that... well thinking about it actively she couldn't think of a single thing about Yugi she did not like. What was more, it was pleasant to have someone not simply back away from her at every point of tension. If she teased him, he teased back. She questioned him and he gave a bit of spite. "Would I? I thought I just asked questions aloud to send them off into the universe~" yes, diversions and teasing were about all Kimiko did when it came to Yugi. But she was also aware that both of them knew how things would go the longer they spoke to each other. Eventually, they'd cave together into some magnificent romp. Ah, but they had to be somewhat normal, and in Kimiko's own face, it was much easier if she didn't have to lie to her father about what they were up to all night over dinner.

Yes, they could move along quite nicely though that wouldn't stop her from staring nor teasing just the same. "Oh? Is that how that works now?" she questioned as if challenging the lad. She knew full well he could and would at any time put the responsibility for his erections in her lap. As long as she was present she was almost certain it was her own fault, but that did not really matter to her long term, she was instead content to place blame on some imaginary thing for the lad's current disposition. Moving on from this point, her most recent quip was turned against her in a moment. The claim that the lad could no longer find his own hand fun was a rather interesting one. Perhaps she'd make it a point to help him out with that situation from time to time. Regardless, he asked if she was having fun watching him and there was only one way to respond. "Of course... I wouldn't still be standing here if it wasn't fun~" she mused with the utmost glee. Ah, but it didn't matter he was ready for the most now and Kimiko was also ready so she gave a bit of a bow before heading out of the door. "Hai hai, on to adventures in gaming. Making new characters and a new campaign? Probably should choose a new campaign," she muttered knowing neither of them enjoyed repeating the same things over and over again.

[Bloodedge]

What an interesting retort Kimiko had for the young man. Alas, something like that was only guaranteed to keep the strangeness of their conversation rolling for a bit longer. "Maybe you do! Maybe this was just the perfect time to change your devious ways!" he exclaimed, raising his finger as if the great case had been cracked.

Yugi was on his way, ready to follow closely behind Kimiko en route to her room. There were more thoughts to be shared in both directions during the preparation for this trip, including the clause of how certain dynamics worked between them. "It is! I'm an expert in forcing responsibility onto others, you know? You'll have to flip all kinds of tricks for not taking responsibility on your own," he insisted. That elevated finger of his began to wag, but he was obviously content to move on. An epic gaming experience was just on the horizon; all they had to do was walk toward it. Yugi's excitement was building once again. A new campaign was precisely the kind of experience they deserved, and there was something else thrilling to note. "New campaign! Oh! They should have the Teyvat Chapter out by now, right? The new patch was only a day or two away when I last played. We could always jump right into that."

[Apollymi]

"Change my devious ways?" Kimiko questioned those words specifically. She was almost taunting him at this point while giving what seemed to be serious consideration to those words. "Maybe if you were interested, I'd give it some thought..." she mentioned seeming to have her smile widen just a bit. Kimiko wasn't truly interested in changing her devious ways, she was more interested in using those deviations to tease, taunt and flirt with Yugi. such was the best sort of fun she could have presently and she wouldn't give it up for anything.

Still an elevated finger was pointed at the lass while Yugi all but threatened to make her take responsibility for her actions. He even went so far as to claim in not so many words the punishment would be worse for her because she refused the responsibility of her own accord. She couldn't help but be tickled just a little. "It's not like I don't like a little punishment~ Feel free to try," she vocalized. She'd willingly end her sentence on that topic there as they'd already started moving on to actual game play and a different sort of fun. Yugi spoke immediately of a new patch which was releasing a couple of days after they ended up in the other world. A bit of thought came to Kimiko as she remembered that particular update. "Yes, Teyvat Chapter. Insider information says starting that one requires a sacrifice... I wonder how steep it will be~" she questioned. Her own mother had mentioned the cost of starting such a chapter and how a lot of people wouldn't be fond of playing it because of the cost. Whatever the case, Kimiko was always down to try something new. "Regardless I am definitely up for jumping right in. Wanna coordinate characters properly this time? Make it a nice team effort?~" she questioned seeming to grow more into the direction of play instead of debauchery.

[Bloodedge]

"Eh?" If he was interested, she'd give it some thought? Both of them knew Yugi had no actual interest in her changed demeanor. If there was a change, he'd be quite concerned, actually. Kimiko's strange, devious mannerisms were perhaps one of her top three features─ maybe even the very top of the list. He didn't seem very keen on determining what stood above other features, but that one was undoubtedly quite high on the list. "Good thing I'm not interested at all then, huh? You can live thought-free forever~" he declared.

As they prepared for the return trip, Kimiko spoke of punishment and her... odd enjoyment of it. How interesting. Well, it wasn't as if said punishment involved literal abuse of any sort. He could, and would, be making an effort to produce something. "Oh I'll try. Or... I won't try at all. Neglect play is supposedly effective on a lot of people," he mused, a thoughtful hand upon his chin. There were many potential things that could be considered punishment, from outright neglect/denial to overstimulation. Ah, but which would he choose in the end, if either? Yugi would be mulling over that for quite some time. More importantly, however, there was the discussion of their upcoming gaming session. Kimiko had some information from within, but upon hearing of it, Yugi snickered. "I'm guessing that insider of yours didn't tell you about the release of a trailer three days ago," he stated. It didn't seem like she'd witnessed the actual pre-release trailer of the game's chapter called Teyvat, but that didn't matter much at all. Moving on, what would become of their character creation? Kimiko posed a query, and excitedly, Yugi came to a very quick conclusion. "Fuck yeah I do! We could start off with a proper power couple, or even..." he paused, having numerous thoughts cross his mind. One particular idea was more powerful than the others, but perhaps that one was best presented only if some other things happened to work out along the way. "There are a lot of teams to go with, really. There's one thing I'm wondering about... but I feel like that one can't be forced. We'll see~"

[Apollymi]

Success. Yugi did not seem at all interested in having Kimiko change her ways. In fact, in a strangely rare instance he spoke very obviously. She could live a thought free forever. He was completely uninterested in changes to her behavior. A wide smile spread across Kimiko's face in this moment and she gently blushed. Though the conversation had taken place in a mostly joking background, she couldn't help but feel sheepishly pleased that Yugi did not wish for her to change. "Hai!~" she chimed seemingly amused.

Beyond this point there was the talk of future punishment or not at all. The going thought being that there could even be neglect added into the mix in which case no effort would be put forth whatsoever. Kimiko in a moment like this, managed more shock almost naturally. Almost. "What? You can't possibly intend to leave me hanging and not knowing... that's almost cruel~" she noted. Ah, but it was also fine. She knew that they wouldn't leave each other alone for very long. Both of them contained a certain base level of maintenance. Moving on there was the missing information from her insider which Kimiko gave a bit of thought to, did she know about the trailer from three days ago... no but there was a reason for that. "Well, I had that information a long time before that... and I did tell her to stop talking immediately after that." she gave it a bit more thought and decided to clarify. "I go radio silent while gaming on purpose. I don't like story spoilers. Especially not the sort that will make me change my methodology. I'd rather go through the first time and ruin it, than have the nuances spoiled. And yes... I played the whole game again when I messed up my Until Dawn play through!" She clarified one of her less good gaming experiences, knowing it could be obvious all the ways one could ruin their playthroughs.

Beyond that point there was the matter of their actual combined play. A power couple or some other unmentioned combination? Well there were several potentials on offer. "Though I don't like game spoilers, I'll let you brief me on the trailer. If it had some key information we can probably use it to play the numbers of the character creators and get a perfect combo, or even something better..." she claimed. They both seemed to be dancing around a topic and maybe they'd jump into the circle when the time was right. While they talked this over they'd make their way back to Kimiko's room and maybe come to some sort of consensus.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi's intentions were not so simple as leaving anyone hanging indefinitely. Well... that was the intention, but not completely. "I wouldn't, but I would. It'd be more like... almost leaving you hanging, but almost doing nothing of the sort. Yeah, that's about how I'd put it," he explained. With that, the lad felt there was a need for more specification. What he said didn't make enough sense, did it? "You know how sometimes, social anxiety takes over your life, and you start teetering right around the point you're trying to make─ never not addressing it, but never saying it outright? Yeah, something like that."

It seemed Kimiko had been missing the more detailed part of the Teyvat update because she refrained from story-based spoilers. That was fair, but there was little story-based information to be gained in this case. "I get that. There wasn't much story stuff at all this time, though. The whole trailer mostly showed the features, and the whole ritual sacrifice process. It looked more like a weird new form of Duel Monsters. Pretty cool stuff," he rambled. As for a playthrough of Until Dawn, he could only present one inquiry. "It was the relationship goal, wasn't it?"

Kimiko was against spoilers, but not against useful information. With her expressed desire to know anything of merit that would produce incredible results for them, Yugi chortled. There was something he considered doing─ something he doubted someone like Kimiko would be against at all. "Well, I compared it to a ritual for a reason. When I saw it happen in the trailer, it didn't look like any normal kind of sacrifice to get a result. It looked like... a ritual. It looked like alchemy. That is to say, I have reason to believe output quality is coded on a multiplier of input quality. Just as an example, I think if we decided to sacrifice the Dragonoids... we'd probably get Dragon Gods or something like that out of it in the end. So, what if we each chose to tribute something with limitless potential─ something neither of us actually decided to have, but each has with the ability to become anything it wants?"

[Apollymi]

Yugi went on to explain himself. Claiming he did not intend to leave her hanging completely. No, that would have been far too easy. He intended to induce anxiety by making it seem like he would leave her hanging. "Savage. Seriously, somehow... that might actually be worse," she mused. Still she did not seem too concerned about it one way or another. She was too easily amused by Yugi's antics to even speak against them in a moment like this. A bit of mental torture wouldn't ruin her by any means, and she'd already been found to enjoy it a bit when the lad was the one doing the inflicting. No, she'd simply carry on an invoke whatever wrath she could handle and take it unto herself with glee.

Moving on, it would seem that there weren't large story spoilers within the trailer for the Teyvat chapter. Instead, it came with some added information... though he did not judge her for not wanting spoilers. He described summoning in Teyvat like it was ritual sacrifice. That was interesting as a thought. Along with that was the acknowledgement of the thing she'd mentioned about her playthrough of a horror game known as Until Dawn. "Yes, definitely relationship goals... I did not spend six hours getting that couple together to have one of them die over my stupid lack of foresight. Never!" there was such conviction there. She was so serious about those people's lives that she'd replayed an entire game to get the outcome she wanted. Zero Deaths. Irrespective of that she decided to actually comment on the Ritual Sacrifice and its comparison to Duel Monsters. "Ah, if it is anything like Duel Monsters then the sacrifices could be important... I did a lot of play with that in tags and several of my favorite monsters needed specific materials to be created~" she mused wondering just how far such that comparison went.

Luckily enough, she wouldn't be waiting very long for an answer. Yugi decided to give the rest of the information he had. It wasn't simply in there but instead what he'd gleaned from it which made it that much more impressive as a line of thought. Given his comparison it was also an easy train of thought to follow. If they sacrificed something like the Dragonoids they could end up with Dragon Gods. Too bad both of them wouldn't ever actually think of doing that... the Dragonoids were exactly the type of thing they'd been going for individually. One did not give up on their initial goals to do something ridiculous. But he'd also stated they'd rolled some other characters of equal value that they didn't necessarily choose. That was at least the implication. To make sure she was following properly she voiced her opinion. "Well as far as characters with limitless potential go that we both have, the idea would be to sac, the Rulers right? They both had their own kind of limitlessness and then we see what kind of super power our Teyvat characters end up with?" she surmised giving it some extra thought. "I'd definitely give up my ruler before my dragonoid... I like Tatsuki a lot but Daiyu was a bit weird. I could easily give that one up to try something new... and it would leave us the Dragonoids for the just in case issues that could arise ... Yeah, that'd actually be a pretty good plan. Besides, we'd definitely get something unique trading something so hard to come by~" Yes, she was fully aboard the plane of this idea. There would be no stopping her and nothing stopping her instant curiosity. What would these characters be like? What would they be capable of... she was suddenly excited for something that did not directly tickle her insides sexually. Nice!

[Bloodedge]

"Of course it's worse!" Yugi proclaimed without an ounce of doubt. "That's the point, after all. How else am I supposed to make it impactful?" At this point, Yugi wasn't even sure what the purpose was anymore. He was talking, having a thousand ideas pass through his mind, and had no idea why that had to be the case. There was never a shortage of distraction, as he could tell.

Another thing Yugi could tell was the reason behind Kimiko's restart of a certain video game. If ever there was a reason to rage-quit that particular title for one specific outcome, it was a relationship between two characters being interrupted by a very annoying, non-sensical death of one involved person. He'd have done the same thing himself, had the situation not worked as intended in his gaming experience. "Understandable. I get it; sometimes you just have to throw the whole playthrough away. I had an oversight that led to me doing something similar in Assassin's Creed," he admitted.

Not only were they both onboard with the thought of ritual sacrifice being the means of exchange in this new update; Kimiko jumped right onboard with the idea of sacrificing their accidental Ruler-Class Avatars to the cause. True, neither of them would have any interest in being rid of their Dragonoids, and neither of them seemed particularly attached to their own Rulers. Besides, if Yugi was right in another assumption... "It probably won't matter anyway. The way those Dragonoids speak when they're out, they make it seem like we have latent Dragon abilities regardless of our Avatar. Dragon Gods might not be out of reach, and if they're not... we'll definitely get them as well one day. For now, how about we do something extra and break the game? I've got an idea~"

[Apollymi]

Mock surprise crossed the face of Ashikaga Kimiko. This man really had the nerve to want his punishments to be impactful. "But if it's too impactful I may actually be good. Imagine the day~" she teased. Of course, there would be nothing to stop her from teasing. There would be nothing to keep her from becoming a point of exhilarating distraction to him. She knew this was to be the best and most fun she could have in any world. And she'd do so whenever she could with no shame.

Of course, another point that did not have any shame was the knowledge of a gameplay failure. Everyone has a playthrough that doesn't go well on the first try. Yugi commiserated with a trial of a specific title, Assassin's Creed. An unseen consequence had him throw out a playthrough did it? "It was Odyssey wasn't it? You wanted the family crew on your ship, didn't you?" she asked knowing that a strange point in that playthrough required a specific set of decisions that started all the way back at the beginning of the game. It was always quite annoying to have something go off course for a preferred ending.

Beyond that shared point there was another. According to Yugi it was likely they could still attain Dragon God status at some point, given the way their Dragonoid Avatars discussed their own existences. "Yeah, the Dragons are pretty big about always being dragons. Tatsuki doesn't even like me mentioning not being a dragon when I am not physically in the form... she gives me headaches," she said seeming to go off on a minor tangent. Oh but there was an idea on the proverbial table, one which was 'game breaking'. A wicked smile spread across Kimiko's face, "I like game breaking. And I also feel like if the Dragons can reach pinnacle form they will. They don't seem to be holding back much at all~" she mused happily.

[Bloodedge]

Too much impact, and Ashikaga Kimiko would be... good? He'd be damned. There wasn't a bone in that girl's body that knew good behavior. If nothing else, she always seemed keen to have an additional 'bone' within her as a result of naughty performance. That wasn't so bad, though. After all, Yugi had every desire to provide that additional bone, and that was only more the case as Kimiko's deviance shined so brightly. "Hmm. Nope! Can't picture a thing," he said after pretending to think for a few moments. "207 bones in your body, not one with any plans of being good~"

Moving on to their discussion of terrible gaming mistakes and corrections, Kimiko knew exactly the title Yugi had been referencing. Not only that, but she knew the thing that had been ruined as well. Yugi sighed. "All I wanted was an immersive crew in the endgame, and suddenly, my sister decides it's a good idea to kill my mom over one sentence I said all the way back in chapter two. Who does that?! I found out every other choice I made was right, but they all had to be right because fuck me if characters can't weigh the pros and cons of their own life experiences to make a decision!"

Yugi's rant was over as quickly as it started, but the fury remained. The fury would always, always remain. Alas, the pair agreed to one thing: their Dragonoid selves were very adamant about their own existences, even to the point of affecting them when they acted unfavorably. "Same! Fucking Akashi gives me heartburn," he added. Continuing along toward the upcoming gaming experience, Yugi thought to share his intentions with another who enjoyed game-breaking decisions. "We shouldn't hold back anything either. But, what's better than holding back, you ask? Doing more than possible, which is easy to do now that we understand the world as more than game stuff! If this actually works like an alchemical ritual, what if we linked our accounts and used each other's Avatar as part of the process for sacrifice? We could pull two new characters out of a melding pot of O.P. It'll be the hot pot of character creation!"

[Apollymi]

It seemed her teasing about impacts was taken in an entirely new direction. According to Yugi with 207 bones in her body none of them had plans to be good. She gave that statement a bit of thought, there were 206 bones in the body of a human adult. So he must have been talking about his own shared bone also having a lack of good intentions. "I mean that one is not always there... it has a kind of transient effect. So it could plan to be good... it mostly just depends on the definition of good in this case~" that was how Kimiko chose to quip back. Yes, they could flirt like this talk about other things and even maybe actually get some game play done eventually.

Of course, beyond that thought, there was the real sentiment of gameplay loops having unforeseen consequences. He claimed a single sentence had changed his ability to achieve a goal of having an immersive crew in the aforementioned Assassin's Creed title. A smile came to the girl's face as she understood that information. "Yes, I know. It's really a problem with that type of game design. Branching choices always lead to problems when you can't tell where all the branches end up," she said thoughtfully. "Actually, Assassin's Creed did not get enough credit, at least the dialogue choices were clear... it could have been much worse," she said thinking of a particularly interesting line of games. Where a decision could be made to say or do an action and it went well beyond the scope of the singular line of text. That was quite a run full of mishaps when that was a game of choice.

She figured he had similar problems to the ones she had in games and they also shared similar problems in their other world dragon selves. Apparently both Tatsuki and Akashi were prone to giving negative status types to their bodies when they did not do something they wanted. "Seriously? That sucks... I thought the whole Swimmer's Ear Vertigo Headache thing was pretty annoying..." she said of the issues caused by the Dragonoid Tatsuki. She couldn't imagine the chest burning sensation of heartburn. The Dragonoids caused problems but they were also worth keeping. Speaking of things worth keeping. Their combined genius for game-breaking was to be actualized. According to Yugi, understanding this game as more than just game meant they could likely link their accounts and contribute to each others sacrifice to make some very powerful new Avatars for a playthrough in Teyvat. "Still not really sure what a hot pot is... but it sounds like we are about to combine the OP of two of the most OP Avatars and use it to make two Uber OP characters. And that... sounds fun. I'm game!" she said. Having reached her room she opened the door and began that casual walk back towards the bed. It was time to see about breaking some game mechanics.

[Bloodedge]

"Hmm." For a few moments, Yugi seemed to be in a legitimate state of thought over the girl's bone-related argument. Bone number 207 was no part of Kimiko's physiology. If Yugi had any say in the matter, however, it would be a bit closer to permanence than it was presently. "Transient effect sounds ridiculous. I'll take it, though I have no idea what you plan on quantifying as good~"he teased.

They were not quite done complaining about decision-based design flaws in video games. Another title came to light, even if indirectly. One particular series had an answer that was very clear, though the character himself refused all cooperation with the player. "With that in mind, I'll give Assassin's Creed all the credit it wants. Nobody in that ever turned a should-be calm sentence into a whole fit of fuck you," he explained, finding some solace in their previously discussed game over the one being broached currently. Nothing could have been worse than that experience.

With their decisions ahead of them, Kimiko led Yugi back into her bedroom. He took special note of the desolate hall en route to the room this time, wondering if all had simply been sent away. No, that couldn't be right; perhaps it was simply normal for them all to vacate this part of the property during such late hours. "Honestly, I'd rather take the headache than that heartburn. It feels like shit most times," he stated, wishing a Dragonoid Avatar of his own would not have such a drawback. Alas, even with the negative, there were far too many positives to count. Wait... what did the lass say? She didn't know what hot pot was, eh? As his rear met the mattress, Yugi snickered. "Hot pot is... maybe delicious. Or, maybe it's terrible? It depends. Imagine picking a food you like, and throwing it into a soup while others who show up do the same with their chosen foods. There's a fun little guessing game you can play with it as well. Basically, yeah; fire it up and let's see how good we can make Avatar Soup... and I'll ignore the fact that you don't know the first thing about eating real food~"

[Apollymi]

Kimiko got to watch a moment of seemingly legitimate consideration for her statement on bone transience. According to Yugi at the end of it all, it sounded ridiculous but he'd still take it. Apparently it was to be noted that he had no idea what she would qualify as good in this context though. A chuckle escaped Kimiko. "Wouldn't you like to know~" she teased back seemingly fine to let go of the situation in the moment. But still, she'd be lying if she said the idea of making that 207th bone remain in her body more often than not wasn't a great idea in her heart. Perhaps that would be part of her next large scale plan against Yugi but for now...

They were discussing another game a bit indirectly. There was another bit of agreement, that Assassin's Creed deserved credit for not allowing its title characters to make ridiculous leaps in personality with single sentences of simple dialogue. "Yeah, nothing like getting shot at for being nice. Or being too nice when you want to rip off a band aid early... that game was so vicious..." she said just thinking about it made her upset. As a point of personal conviction she always wanted to tell the truth to all parties involved in games like that... and in that particular game certain things weren't even choices, but more or less the simple illusion of choice so a story could be told.

Moving on from that it was noted in Yugi's mind that Kimiko's floor was quite empty. If asked about it, Kimiko would explain that post reaching puberty she wanted more privacy at night. She had lots of late night gaming and 'personal time' lined up for these hours and did not want either interruptions or unnecessary trauma to her staff. They had orders to be gone by a certain hour and only to begin to look for her again around the time she should be getting ready for school. Beyond that thought there was the bit about a preference for the headaches given by Tatsuki over the heartburn presented by Akashi. "I'd also take a headache over heartburn." More snickering from Yugi came after that as he explained the nature of a hot pot and the apparent game that went along with it. A bunch of people putting food into a single pot to be cooked and guessing the food that is in it. "So it's soup roulette?" she said her brows furrowing. That seemed like a high risk thing with very little chance of reward. She slid into the bed herself pulling her keyboard into her lap and situating herself the way she liked to be. She used quick keys to start up two of the consoles and left Yugi to set up his profile on his own screen. While she signed in. "I eat real food, Yugi. Still I don't think I'd mind a game like that..." she mused lightly. Perhaps she could do that sometime in the future.

[Bloodedge]

Touché. Yugi wasn't expecting a callback to his own line from a few minutes prior, but there it was. Ah, but being caught unawares was not going to get in Yugi's way this time. "Yeah actually, I would. You'd be good if you told me, but I guess it's damn tempting to go the bad girl route, isn't it? It'd just be a shame, considering I had the best little treat planned if you decided to spill the beans~" he retorted.

Games being too out of line, games being too nice for immersion─ games with decision-making for the player were so rarely a complete experience for one seeking actual diversity in gameplay. "It was dumb. I hate the whole Bandersnatch-style bullshit choices route. Decisions like that should rarely be a win or lose type thing, but that entire development company just wanted to cash in on a fad the laziest way possible. Fuck it," he ranted. "AoE is one of few games with a good 'your choices shape the world and story' aspect. Go figure it's the one every player obsesses over for having an almost perfect design."

Whatever the case, he couldn't sit around harping over annoying game experiences forever. They were finally geared-up to start a new playthrough, only needing to confirm and discover a few things after loading. To address this sup roulette as Kimiko called it, Yugi first nodded. That was a pretty good descriptor for the hot pot game. "Basically, yeah. The more people you get to do it, the crazier it gets. My mom set up a game for us once, and it was... interesting. And no, you don't use your hands enough to say you eat real food," he ended, disregarding any of Kimiko's fancy meals as true delicacies. "I bet you've never even passed out after eating something! But, don't worry. I'll show you what real food is." With that said, Yugi began the process of logging into his account. Considering their random teleportation into another world, he decided it was best to use the GenoKiller account even for this playthrough. Once he signed in properly, he saw the update: The Teyvat Chapter. That could wait, though. First and foremost, Yugi would delve into his account options. "Got a link co─" Pause. Upon looking at his screen for account linking options, Yugi discovered... that theirs were already connected. How strange. "I'm guessing you didn't do that while I was sleeping─"

[Apollymi]

Oh? They were getting better and better at their little game of cat and mouse. Who was what in any moment of the scenario was mostly up to chance, but in this particular moment, Kimiko had turned the tables at least for a moment. Ah, but Yugi wouldn't be the one who allowed himself to be completely caught off-guard again. No, this time he was content to carry on in the strangest of ways. He claimed he did want to know what would make that extra bone good. He even claimed it would make her good to tell him... ah he had a treat in mind for her as well? "Are you trying to bribe me into being good?~ It's kind of bad it might be working. Of course I'd have to know what the reward is to gauge if it's worth the information I would divulge~" Kimiko slipped back into a negotiation with relative ease. Of course, it would do nothing but prolong their entertainment with wordplay so she had no issues.

It seemed beyond that point, in their video game discussion, Yugi apparently hated the 'illusion of choice mechanic'. He was quite right, if your choices did not truly matter then the point in doing all the things surrounding them was useless. Being able to change a video game world with the decisions you make was an important aspect for roleplaying gamers. "It was a really weird go of it too. Like if you really want to make a game like that you could just tell the story. I'd rather play a fully scripted story based game than a story based game where it never really feels like my decisions matter," Kimiko stated her agreement as she saw it. "And yes, AoE is the best game possible for actually seeing your decisions play out. Go figure it's an actual world and that all makes it way more sensible," she claimed almost sarcastically.

Oh and here they were. All settled in and getting ready for the most epic game session. According to Yugi his mom once set up such a game for them and it was 'interesting'. "Like are there rules? Or can you end up with like sweet dumplings in your savory soup?" Kimiko asked this question because it was an idea that was wholly foreign to her. About the shot taken at her eating habits she had very little to say. "That isn't my fault. Mama was really set about that rule. But that doesn't mean I don't eat real food," she claimed with pouty disposition. Of course there were many things her mother would have done that she did not fully understand but the thing about eating food with ones hand was a sticking point. Perhaps she just had OCD? Whatever the case, Yugi went to ask for a Link Code and Kimiko was in the process of looking for one to find... that her account was already linked to his. He questioned this and she looked just as surprised as he did. "Yeah...no. I didn't do that. I'm not that pushy. Maybe something we did in the other world counted as that kind of connection," she said thoughtfully. Of course it could have been something else. "There could be another reason I suppose..." she mused. It was a curious situation, but they also knew that space and time weren't normal factors when dealing with the world of AoE so perhaps it was them making the decision before which would lead to them doing so now.

[Bloodedge]

Many times, Aiba Yugi found that a single question had multiple accurate answers. In this case, one question had precisely two answers that applied equally. Was it his intention to bribe her into... being good, as it were? Yes... and no. He didn't care if she behaved herself; he'd likely even prefer if she didn't. On the other hand, it would be quite interesting to see the girl cave to bribery just once. "If it's working, then yes I'm trying," he said. "But, there's a catch. You don't get to know what the thing is until you've paid for it. If I'm giving you something, it's going to be a mystery box... or sphere─" he added.

Yugi was quite done with the more annoying games of prior sessions, and fully prepared to have the most enjoyable time of his gaming life. First, he found enjoyment in the manner Kimiko grasped the hot pot game. "I think that's the fun of it. In a way, it's a type of gacha. In addition to that type of gamble, you have the extra chance of the thing being changed by whatever else has been thrown into the pot." With that explanation given, Yugi found himself quirking a brow to... the idea that Kimiko ate 'real food' as she insisted it was. "You don't. If you did, you could probably give me a recommendation for a good cheeseburger. Like I said, though; you'll know real food eventually~"

As for the strangeness of their random account linking, most assumptions would point toward something in the other world. They did showcase some odd abilities between one another, which he couldn't utilize with other members of the same party. He had no simple way of telepathic communication with even his own sister, but the two of them had such a thing many months ago. "Hmm. It has to be something we've had going for a really long time. Like... within the first week or so, by my assumption. I can't think of anything we did before Dwargon that would cause something like that, though. Can you?"

[Apollymi]

This cheeky bit of banter was taking a rather interesting turn. According to Yugi, if it was working then he was trying to bribe her but... part of this deal was that she wouldn't get to know what was coming as her reward for going along with it. It would be a mystery box or sphere kind of deal. There was a dramatic furrowing of Kimiko's brows as she began to seriously contemplate this deal of his, "Hoh? Well, I do like a mystery and while I am normally above things like bribes, I can't say I dislike anything you've given me..." she said having given it a great deal of thought. "Actually, my desire to possess all manner of things makes it almost necessity for me to accept such a bribe based on the fact I don't know what it is, but I know it can't be bad. Mystery makes it that much better!" she finally managed to exclaim. Ah, but where had this come from? What did she actually need to give him to get this mystery present? She'd all but forgotten.

Beyond this point, the 'hot pot game' apparently had no rules. It was supposedly gacha like and that made it more interesting. "That sounds like a stomach ache waiting to happen but I do understand the desire to have a whole bunch of things and try a bunch of different things at once," she said coming to that conclusion with a curt nod. Of course, she'd only recently begun entertaining more friends and more people around her in general perhaps such a game would be rather interesting with certain others in hand. "Admittedly sounds like the sort of thing that would take on a strange form of competitiveness." she finished her thought. Ah and food. Apparently the marker for general food was a good cheeseburger recommendation which she couldn't give. "Blah, that's a weird standard." she commented pouty as she could be.

The easy answer of their linked accounts was something done in the other world, but that wasn't enough for Yugi. According to him, it had to have happened early on, they did show some strange abilities with each other their shared telepathy being one such thing. Ah, had they done anything she thought of as strange? "Hm, the first week was pretty normal. There was the shared quest, the proper partying up, sharing Xerxes, staying at the Inn..." she gave consideration to their journey during that early portion. "But we only shook on deals, there wasn't much if any physical contact there weren't even any random make-out sessions!" she exclaimed. "Actually the oddest thing to happen that first week, was the constant agreement to share and physically sharing a bed, but I doubt that should count as account binding." Their early time in the other world had been spent traveling and adventuring and they'd barely acknowledged each other beyond their initial expectancies. So how did their accounts become bound?

[Bloodedge]

"See? That's exactly why you should be taking this bribe," Yugi insisted, knowing he'd done just enough to make something mysterious more intriguing and desirable than something known in advance. One who read and watched any works of the Aeons would always enjoy the promise of a surprise; he had a decent starting point as a result. "Do it!" he said in a mockingly menacing way, staring the lass down all the while.

Kimiko truly believed she knew the meaning of real food, it seemed. What a shame. Based on her lack of burger, pizza and dessert experience, he could never agree to that notion. Well, that wasn't wholly true. He could give her a little credit. "Alright, so maybe you do eat real food... as of yesterday. Oysters and shit don't count, y'know? If you can't feel how bad it is for you by at least the third bite, it's not good enough." There were so many food-related ideas floating through Yugi's head, it'd take half a lifetime to explore them all. One may also consider the options found in that fantasy world they spent six months in, and how many more had to exist there via the presence of mythical creatures and such. In truth, a single lifetime likely wouldn't be enough... and that was quite exciting.

Also exciting, was another mystery. How had their accounts become linked? It only made sense that their previous journey had something to do with it, but what part? Partying up? Standard. Sharing Xerxes? Something that could be done within the confines of any Party. Sharing a room at the inn? Even intercourse was possible between any two Avatars in the game, provided the players had mature content installed. With zero factors being of high potential, this was becoming quite the puzzle. Alas, it would have to be completed later, when more pieces were acquired. "I can't think of a single thing. I like it. It's crazy though, right? Account linking is almost like becoming the same person, if you translate it... I think. Having a setup like this, we could even make a pair of twins or─ oh. Whoops. I gave it away─"

[Apollymi]

Yugi was doing a very good job of presenting his argument. It did sound exactly like the sort of bribe she should be taking. Ah and there was even menacing coming her way. She could feel the pressure of statements weighing down on her. "Oh that deal is almost too good to resist~" she said. Ah but would she be resisting? She'd leave that in suspense for just a moment or two, this wasn't the only thing they were talking about presently.

On the matter of her knowledge of real food, according to Yugi she'd only come to know it a day ago. His new claim was that real food was the sort you knew was bad for you within three bites. "Oh, like all the deep-fried food in Atlantis..." she mused remembering a wide array of foods. She'd tried many just based on the fact that they'd been chosen by Yugi or Fiona. Actually, that was likely one of her earliest experiences trusting in the palate of another individual. Whatever the case, she felt it was fine, technically her trying all those new things was something fun they could always do together and she would relish in that, irrespective of the teasing that came along with it.

Apparently, though it was impossible to think of a single thing which would have bound them together, Yugi liked it. Kimiko could only agree with such a sentiment, coming to the conclusion that if they were to be the sorts of people who could fairly share everything, she did not mind giving him access to everything she owned and all of herself as well. "Hai, I also do not mind it. Actually, it makes things much easier," she said seeming to be behind just a bit. Then she caught up and a wicked almost lustful grin spread across her face. "Wincest? Are you saying we can Wincest?!" she said more excited than any one person ever needed to be over the idea of making twin characters in a video game, strictly for degenerate purposes. "Yeah, all for it. It's happening. Not even a question. Let's fucking go!!"

[Bloodedge]

Further interest was shown in the bribe, yet nothing concrete came of it just yet. Oh well; he couldn't expect too much anyway. Perhaps it would come up later, or perhaps never. Whatever the case, there were far more important things for Yugi to concern himself with. Among those important things was the discussion about food, and the idea that Kimiko had a prior 'real food' experience in Atlantis' festival. She certainly wasn't wrong about that... though she wasn't right either. "That did happen... in a magical world where weight gain and health concerns were a non-issue for you~" he added. "Half of the goodness is how bad it is for you. You didn't get the bad part, so peh!" Yugi's clause ended with a protruding tongue, one finger pulling down his lower eyelid.

Sadly, he'd given away the secret idea he'd been holding on to. Luckily though, there was no apparent need to feel out the situation. Upon hearing the idea, Kimiko called it... Wincest. That was yet another meme, albeit one appreciated by a select few degenerates. Yugi's brow rose, and his lips curled upward. "Eh?" he questioned briefly. Much to his satisfaction, the idea was taken absolutely without further questioning. "Hell yeah! Fucking Wincest Avatars, let's make it happen!" Not much needed saying in this moment. There was a plan, and both parties were fully onboard. No time was wasted by Yugi in getting started; he was already loading his Ruler-Class Avatar into the mixing pot for sacrifice.

[Apollymi]

Of course! There were even more nuances to this food based experience according to Yugi. He claimed that because she hadn't had the experience of those fatty foods while they could do her figure harm, they did not count?! What kind of sense did that make? "Ugh, that is ridiculous as a thing to say. You can't randomly assign rules to things just to discredit me..." she said seemingly pouty for just a few moments. Even so, it was all in good fun and she wasn't actually upset. Her figure was far from a concern of hers, but she'd also seen all her female family members and knew no real negative would come of her gaining a bit of weight. Irrespective of the perceived consequences she could indulge with him in the here and now and anywhere really and it would make no difference. "Fine. But you're responsible for feeding me all the things that are bad for me that you claim I don't know about..." she said assigning him another task for his lifetime or perhaps many more than that... considering.

Speaking of indulgences across lifetimes, the 'Twincest is Wincest' meme made its way back to conversation. It would seem that Kimiko herself had no problem making a rather degenerate choice and even knowing she'd eventually be in the body of such an Avatar had no real withdrawals about it. She could indulge in all fantasy aspects she liked until her heart was content, even ones that did not make sense in their nonmagical world. Why would she give up the opportunity to dance in the taboo? The answer would be of course, she wouldn't. No Ashikaga Kimiko would claim such an experience with her own hands, putting her own Ruler-class character into the sacrificial pot as well. And from this point forward they could begin their gaming session, creating the Avatars the two would use in this Teyvat chapter of the game. "Hai hai! Not like I could or would ever turn down the opportunity. Don't forget your scan... we can be super hot~" she said with a playful wink. Of course they weren't very different looking to start with, any characters they made into twins would look rather organic. She couldn't wait to see what kind of character she ended up with in this particular part of the world.

[Bloodedge]

Who was to say Yugi couldn't randomly assign rules? Well, he was going to do it regardless. "Sure I can! Besides, who's to say that wasn't always in the rules? Maybe I just didn't think of mentioning it before~" he countered. The point stood either way. The culinary adventures of Kimiko had only just started, and they would probably never end across two worlds filled with irresponsible food-based decisions. Even in this world, there were things that would be new to Yugi as well, so both of them were in for an interesting journey. "Hai hai. I'll even show you the things I haven't tested yet. And, one day... you will be enough of a trash food connoisseur to experience the great Big Belly Burger." His final clause was accompanied by a gesture involving reaching hands and wiggling fingers.

Now, the time had finally come to begin character creation. Both Ruler Avatars were set to sacrifice, so only the choice of relationship for these joined accounts needed to be made. First though, Yugi was reminded of the face scan. Oh... right. With all that happened in that spa, he'd forgotten the trip's original purpose. "Oh! That was why we went over there, huh─" he muttered. Yugi then spent a few moments sweeping fingers through his hair, straightening it out and giving it a bit of fluff at the top. While doing so, he thought to mention something. "You might wanna redo yours as well. Your face is... just a little different lately. Must be all that moisturizer~" the lad spoke in regards to the 'softer' demeanor presented by the Ashikaga Heiress as of late. Regardless, he was ready to start his own scan. "And am I seeing this right? Doing scans, we can actually like... blend ourselves together to make a legit twin look?"

[Apollymi]

Apparently, a rule could always be a rule and only be mentioned later. The rules for this particular game were becoming muddied as quickly as games between children became confused. Even so, all Kimiko did was scoff. "Meh, you made it up on the spot!" she exclaimed seemingly still only joking. It did not matter if he made up rules at random nor added them to their lives, they were always going to have fun together and as such she could make no complaints. According to him, after she finished her great 'bad food' tour she would also be able to taste 'Big Belly Burger'. With the added caveat that he'd show her things he hadn't tested yet too. "Well as long as we get some shared new experiences. I don't know what Big Belly Burger is but it seems like one of those things I won't understand until I do~" she mused.

Moving on from this, it was time to get to character creation. Yugi began fiddling with his hair after being reminded of his face scan and Kimiko did the same after it became a mention that her own would need to be redone because of her face being different. Even a bit of a tease was thrown in there about moisturizer. "Yeah, I have been trying a new one. I wouldn't want to not look fully like myself~" she agreed. Though she knew about her softer demeanor around Yugi she wasn't aware that it was in general leaking into her facial features. She figured it would be fine to be included, given she didn't intend to appear much without Yugi at all in the coming forever. As he readied himself he wondered if he was seeing the screen right. Kimiko's eyes wandered up, she'd seen the blending options before but never between two people. "It does work like that. I've never seen the blending option between two people before obviously. But I have seen it for making Avatars take on your human face and textures without looking odd. it would make sense if it applied to dual scans of characters we plan to make related... It's probably how the game is programmed to make sibling characters as well. You know like the more advanced version of the GTA thing..." she commented. She'd wait for him to finish his scan and then do her own and they could try their hands at blending these two faces together.

[Bloodedge]

"Did not!" Yugi insisted, though he certainly did make most of that up on the spot. Now, he was a bit distracted by thoughts of the future, and couldn't do much to save his end of the debate. Thoughts of Big Belly Burger were beginning to fill his mind. It came as no surprise that Kimiko knew nothing about the greatest cheeseburger of all time, but the thought alone had Yugi and his many experiences drooling. "It's called Big Belly Burger for a reason. In just a few bites, you're fat and beyond satisfied. It feels like it's killing you with satisfaction every time you chew," he explained.

This face scan technology was surprisingly easy to understand and utilize. Fitting it over his head, Yugi was immediately scanned over by a descending ring that took in his every feature multiple times over. On this ring, there was the occasional small flash meant to draw attention and observe minor shifts in expression. It even advised not withholding yawns, coughs, sneezes and the like for the best outcome, so Yugi continued conversing as normal. "Well that new one is definitely working for you. Fuck it; buy a lifetime supply of it!" he joked... somewhat. "Anyway, this is all looking super immersive. Think about all the other crazy stuff we can do with options like these. Oh! While this scan's going, I've got some changes to make," he said while focusing on the Avatar Kou, thinking to insert some personality changes while finishing the scan.

[Apollymi]

He did not!? What kind of claim was that?! He did exactly that... "Blah," she said seeming apt to tease in the same direction as him whenever the opportunity presented itself. She couldn't well let him get away with his antics all the time. She had to fight back. Ah, but now they were talking about big belly burger. It was apparently satisfaction in every bite even given how bad it was for you. "Oh? That sounds like an experience at least," she stated seeming to enjoy several things about their current situation. They were a little bitey in conversation but it wasn't anything to be taken seriously. There was no overlap in their conversation which caused them to have to explain themselves, they both just sort of clicked and that was alright with Kimiko.

Speaking of moments that just clicked, there was more talk of her moisturizer and how it worked for her. Oh? "I mean I think I have the means to come across a lifetime supply... it just requires the supplier to be alright with such an extensive contract~" she joked as well. He was already doing his face scan and those words were some of the cheeky ones they seemed to share between each other all the time when they were alone. As his scan worked forward he was keen to change a few things about some of his other Avatars. "I have to do that too... I can't have Miki being too tentative all the time. I'll leave the part of her that is nice and morally right... just make a few amendments to her mannerisms," she said knowing her character was fine aside from being so shy she couldn't function unless challenged. "And yeah... it's always super immersive. I assume we'll be able to do some really crazy stuff. Our existing powers and combinations are gonna start looking plain by comparison~" she said looking forward to the OP combinations and fun they could have. Oh and seeing the way Yugi's scan was coming along she thought something slightly unrelated. "Kaiba must have a full body version of this in his workshop. He was way too him for it to be anything else..." she concluded thoughtfully.

[Bloodedge]

Extensive contracts were fated to become Yugi's specialty, from the sound of things. As for the current topic, nothing could stop him from signing up for a contract of great permanence. "Oh? You know, I think I can make a constant supply of the stuff. I'd need some help producing it, but sign me up~" he offered. Moments after the lad spoke, his scan registered as complete. As such, he removed the halo from his head, passing it along while modifying his first Avatar. Kimiko seemed content to make some tweaks as well, and they were rather similar to his own plans. "Same! I mean, even I think I'm beyond socially awkward, but... Kou is just a little bit too much, and I'm not trying to get blue-balled by myself. . ."

Now that he was done with his scan, Yugi let it process into the game. His character was already shifting to take on his personal features, and he was finishing Kou's modifications all the while. In mere moments, they would be able to properly produce their characters and blend their own appearances. Kimiko wasn't the only one with momentary concern for their other characters' power structures, but Yugi had already thought past that little gripe. "I think it'll be fine. If anything, I think this'll be a strong segue into improving our other Avatars as well. There's a lot of potential here," he said prior to the strangest assertion yet─ one regarding Kaiba Seto's development of the face-scanning technology. "Hmm. That's a weird thing to do, but not too weird I guess. I think I read something about the developers and insiders being used as a base for character models. Maybe they used an older prototype of the full-body scan?" he wondered. In truth, it was so. Kaiba Seto had been working on such technology for a very long time. This device Kimiko had was a prototype for a far better scanner, which had since paved the way for the biggest project yet. In fact, had Kaiba Seto himself not entered another world when testing the final product, Kimiko would have herself a copy already. . .

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, he could give her a constant supply of her new moisturizer but she'd need to help him out. "Well, I am nothing if not fair, I couldn't ask you to bear the full brunt of production~" she said with a cheeky smirk. Business transactions being what they were, it would be nothing for her to make sure that they could constantly help each other out. Beyond this point it appeared that both wanted to make the same kinds of adjustment to their main or first Avatars. "Yeah, Miki is fine for what she does, but I would rather not have her fluster so hard every time something is mentioned. She also ended up with most of my insecurities and I'd rather not keep dealing with them as the character I will be to do most of our adventuring..." she said with a curt nod. She couldn't get in the way of her own relationship just by being too odd.

Yugi soon finished with the scan and passed her the ring which she situated on her own head. Of course, after doing this she went on with her scan and carried on with the conversation, knowing the slight differences between her normal self and the one post meeting Yugi would be very good for her general disposition. "It should be. In this case, it might be helpful that those characters aren't done yet by way of Artifacts, levels or storyline yet. They won't be left behind completely not between the Bones of Rathma and the Dragon Emperor's Mask..." she mused happily. Of course, she'd go about fixing up her own character and continue the discussion of Kaiba's technology and its many uses. "That was definitely a thing. Mama mentioned that everyone on the team getting scanned in for various purposes. And I negotiated indirectly the deal between Kaiba and Industrial Illusions, while testing his equipment..." she commented. Her general business was as a go-between for various different kinds of collaborative projects, and there was none bigger than AoE though she wasn't part of any of the major developments. Soon enough her own updated scan would be finished and she'd remove the halo from her head only to ready herself for the proper game play.

[Bloodedge]

"Then we've got a deal, yeah? You pick up a chunk of uh... manual labor, and I'll make with the moisturizer. Y'know that stuff's also edible and chock full of protein?" This little dance of words would continue, apparently. So strange was the way this pair essentially flirted with one another, but neither seemed in opposition. In fact, Yugi seemed even better for this manner of speaking.

All of their characters would be fine by the endgame─ of this, Yugi was certain. He had utmost confidence in his own ability to dominate any game. Upon meeting and joining Kimiko, he had utmost faith in her capacity as well. With their accounts linked, they would reach even greater heights. Even Yugi, being the infamous GenoKiller himself, couldn't fathom the true potential they held. "They're not done, and we're not done. With or without these twins, I think we're gonna do way more than the impossible. Godhood isn't even a question at this point," he asserted. As for the apparent Kaiba tech being used by Industrial Illusions, Kimiko admitted to both knowledge and involvement of some caliber. He'd seen some things, he'd read some things, but nothing had ever been as credible. "Really? Huh. That'd be pretty nifty if this tech was accessible to everyone, but I guess that's how it is. Damn shame that e-girl Valentine got to mess around with it. Anyway, sending!" With that announcement, Yugi offered his confirmation for the Avatar sacrifice. If Kimiko did the same, they would bear witness to the melding of two Rulers to create... two twins of a very new archetype, and apparently an impossible classification as well.

[Apollymi]

"Totally a deal. A little, leg, arm or mouth work is far from an inconvenience~" she said with a dirty little smirk. Of course, they were constantly flirting with each other, but Kimiko found no problem with this. In fact, it was a preference of hers to be as honest and open as possible. The fact that Yugi accepted what she did made it that much easier for her to slip these kinds of words out of her mouth from time to time.

As they moved on to discuss their gaming/alternate lives. Apparently they weren't done with the characters nor their builds and Yugi thought that even without these twins their upper ceiling was high enough that Godhood wouldn't escape them. "Godhood huh? I think that will be pretty interesting... lets make sure to take down the church first though... I'm not trying to have competition for my awesome self~" she joked only slightly. As for the information she freely shared about her dealings with Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corp, Kimiko had a few more sentiments to share. Confirming what she said and agreeing with a point Yugi made about a nigh infamous 'cam-girl'. "Yeah, the deal was pretty lucrative for both parties and has some pretty open terms for expansion. I also hate that someone like her was included in the project at all. She's way more involved than she should be, but I can't expect too much when nepotism is at play," she said of Mai Valentine. Moving on from that there was one more thing. "I pitched Kaiba a few ideas for sharing this with the rest of the world when he's finished with it. If he goes with my favorite it would be readily available to the masses, by virtue of him setting up several booths and using a phone app to convert the image data for all gamers. This way no one would have to buy the thing and it could be available for a nominal fee. I told him he should launch it on an open tour date of his company, as it would help with his image as a dickhead, but I am not sure if he set up plans for that properly," she said of her general presentation to one called Kaiba Seto. Of course, there was now the matter of their game play and she would easily press the button as well. Sacrificing their rulers to make something different. "Traveler, huh?" she said those characters had some interesting baselines.

[Bloodedge]

Leg, arm and mouth work, Kimiko said. Upon hearing these words, Yugi quirked a brow and shifted his gaze toward the lass. What an interesting take she had. "Yeah, that sounds about right. All of those things," he stated. Kimiko was apparently hellbent on keeping him stiff as a board for the rest of time. Was he complaining? Absolutely not. He could be erect for an eternity, and as long as there was an outlet, he'd have nothing negative to say. Here and now, he'd treat his rising member as building to a great moment. Eventually, things would boil over as they always did.

Actually, a bit of godhood would be quite useful when reaching such a point. Yugi came to realize something interesting that would very much come in handy... whenever they returned to the other world. "Oh shit! Y'know, we never got a chance to do like... crazy fantasy degen' stuff? Well... not counting the dragon stuff. Tatsuki was... an experience─" he admitted, still not recalling his own actions as Akashi, but very much remembering everything Tatsuki subjected him to. As for the suggestion Kimiko offered to Kaiba Seto, it was interesting to wonder how the older male would react. That man's attitude was one of the world's wonders at times, but if nothing else... "Kaiba's the other person whose name I'd throw into the 'Pride' hat, if I didn't know how far he went for his sister. Well... I can't really discredit that either. I'm still voting for Sage King," he said. With the completion of their dual sacrifice, a pair of identical twins were created. When they were, the Class they shared by default was far beyond strange. "Huh. I'm not changing mine. This thing's full of question marks, and I'm trying to unlock all of them!" Yugi announced. Ah, but there was customization to be done. He was already in the process of lengthening his Avatar's hair to a ridiculous extent. "So, I was thinking... blonde. Because reasons."

[Apollymi]

"Good, it sounds like negotiations have been completed. It will be a pleasure to work with you~" she teased gently. Oh yes, there was plenty of fun to be had with such a contract connected to their future. Kimiko couldn't actually wait to make such an undertaking. She did like their sexual innuendo of a conversation and if she was succeeding in the continued state of arousal in Yugi, she was also successful in keeping her own just barely boiling below the surface.

Ah, but there was more to talk about when it came to degeneracy. According to Yugi, they had yet to fully explore being magical/fantasy world degenerates yet, not counting their individual run-ins with each other's Dragon selves. According to Yugi, dealing with Tatsuki had been an experience. "Same, Akashi is... something," she said knowing something strange. If the girl had been more of herself and less of Miki at the time of Akashi's rising, that dragon might have been the first person to be called 'Daddy' by Kimiko. Ah, but things had worked out differently and she had no complaints about the way they worked out. "Even so, keep in mind that we should take full advantage of that fantastical world we ended up in when we decide to go the degen route while there~" she mused happily. She was more than ready to experience some weird or magical sex at some point in the future, even without the involvement of the Dragonoid forms they had.

Moving on from degeneracy there was the talk of Kaiba and Yugi's vote for him as one of the 'Pride' candidates. "Hm, I suppose I could see Kaiba as that even with his devotion to Tsu-chan. But Sage King has a bit more of it to toss around, even with that obsession he has with the PenDragonWitch~" she thought absently. At the same time Kimiko was also looking over her own character. Seeing all the question marks and random openings she also decided that Traveler was a class of character worth keeping. "Same. I am definitely not changing, question marks are unlimited potential!~" she said seemingly pleased. "Alright, let's do this prologue and see what the land of Teyvat has to offer~" She was way too hype about the combination of things taking place here and now.

[Bloodedge]

"Oh, you've got no idea," Yugi proclaimed. Them 'working together' would indeed be a pleasure, but even that would go far above and beyond expectation. The only other situation in which he felt so certain of something, was... while being Akashi, coincidentally. It seemed that much was a given, as Kimiko claimed that Akashi was... something. Based on the residual feeling he had after reverting, and based on how his every interaction with Tatsuki had gone, he could easily believe that. "I believe you, but please don't tell me Akashi did something super awesome that I couldn't pull off in a million years," he pleaded. Surely his dragon self wasn't too far from the norm, right?

Despite the semi-seriousness of their overall discussion, Yugi found one point worth laughing at. The most prideful streamer any platform had ever seen, did appear to have a weak point. The one called Sage King had a very blatant interest in one PenDragonWitch, another streamer of repute. The woman in question showed nothing but disdain for him, and in fact, it seemed at face value that his chances would be higher with her sister who shared a stream. Alas, it was an interesting thing to watch unfold. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say he had no chance. Buuuut... I think there's a chance that'd end in them hatefucking each other to death," he declared. Moving on, the ultimate decision had been made. Both would keep the Traveler Class, and without any naysaying, Yugi selected blonde as the hair color. He was quite satisfied with his own Avatar at a glance, so he sat in wait. "Guessing everything looks alright to you? Let's fuckin' go!"

[Apollymi]

The idea of them working together on the project of Kimiko's constant facial moisturizer was a point of sheer degeneracy. Of course, it was perfect that they both seemed to enjoy it as an idea and Kimiko herself enjoyed it in truth due to her own rather greedy behavior. The mention of Akashi seemed to bring up a semi-serious conversation with Yugi about the nature of Akashi and his hopes that his Dragonoid didn't outperform him by too much. "Iie, nothing like that Akashi is like you... he was just the first version of you to be certain when speaking to me directly," she said giving it a bit of thought. "It was interesting being carried around and spoiled by a warm body dragon, but nothing he did was too far outside the norm... he just had big Daddy Energy~" she said playfully.

Speaking of playful there was something worth laughing at and it was Sage King and his apparent relationship or lack thereof with a certain other streamer. A chuckle escaped Kimiko at the thought of him and that particular blonde lass hate fucking each other to death. "Hm, I could see that too. She's one of the Hoshimi though, so it's very possible that her face and obvious actions don't at all betray how she actually feels..." she said nodding. "Still it's really hilarious watching him throw affection at her and watching her go on a whole tirade about how much of a cheat he is... definitely makes my highlight reel and taught me a new order for several swears~" she claimed thinking back on a couple of memories. Of course, that would only be put to the side as the hair color blonde was chosen for Yugi, and Kimiko did the same. There was one other minor change she'd make and that would be the shortening of her hair in the back, leaving only two long strands framing the side of her Avatar's face. "Yes, I am ready now... gotta try something different every once in a while, right?~" she said having a look at his Avatar and giving an appreciative whistle. She'd be interested in that one. Given nothing else needed modifying the gaming session could begin.

[Bloodedge]

Apparently, Akashi wasn't very different from Yugi himself. That didn't feel right. When he returned from that form, Yugi experienced an amount of confidence and surety that he only felt in the middle of a victory lap, or in the moments just before completing a long puzzle. To imagine himself as such during human interaction was a very strange notion indeed. 'Big Daddy Energy' wasn't something he imagined himself having either, despite his apparent new nickname. "Huh. That... actually doesn't sound anything like me. Sure it wasn't just a mental hiccup after finding out his dick sliders were ridiculous?" he wondered.

Hoshimi. Yugi knew that name, and he knew it well... and Kimiko was very right. By his own assumption, the woman being discussed would have been the younger sister of a Hoshimi he'd basically grown up in the presence of. "Y'know, I knew one of them once. Not one of those two, probably an older sister. She was... interesting," Yugi stated, purposely neglecting to mention a few choice trains of thought he had about that one some years ago. "The big little sister seems nice though. They're not all cold-blooded killers I guess," he added. Regardless, both were looking at one another's final character models. An appreciative whistle escaped Kimiko as she viewed Yugi's, and he spent that same time waist-deep in his own imagination regarding hers. "Interesting hair. I've got nothing wholesome in mind looking at that one. Well... not nothing, but... very few things? Yeah, that's better─"

[Apollymi]

A chuckle left Kimiko as Yugi claimed he saw nothing of himself in Akashi. Apparently, even her claims of the difference just being 'Big Daddy Energy' didn't stick to the lad and he made the claim he did not have such a thing. "I wonder if it's not just one of those things you can't know about yourself because you're hyper-focused on what you already think," she said just as thoughtfully. "The sliders aren't that ridiculous. I am not the sort to become hypnotized by something like that..." she stated. Of course, she was a sexual deviant, it would take a bit more than a nice dick to make her forget her own thoughts on someone. In this case, Yugi was simply selling himself a bit short... but that was fine, he could grow into himself at whatever pace he preferred and she'd be beside him the whole time.

Moving on from that point, Kimiko couldn't help but tease just a bit... Hoshimi was a pretty well known set of people and it seemed both of them knew at least one. "Oh, that sounds like something just short of an 'I have a crush on my babysitter' admission~" Kimiko said only to move on pretty quickly afterwards. On the words about the 'little big sister' Kimiko could only look astounded. "The actual twin of the 'small big sister' is my personal assistant. And they all have the same face, so I get it. If he's anything to go off of, there is some kind of trigger for all of them. As for the younger sister, she gives me Aiko vibes..." she said thinking a bit more about it. "The Naruto one, not like she was a crybaby but like you probably do not want to be there if she snaps. Not just because she has three frightening older siblings either..." Kimiko's conclusions were accurate as she appraised that group as if they were employees of hers. One of them was but that wasn't a choice for her personal preference but one made on her behalf when she was younger. Irrespective of that, both of them were now taking in their new Avatars and as she appreciated Yugi's it seemed he was having some less than savory thoughts about hers. A bit of smug made its way into Kimiko's face in a moment like this. "Oh? I will take that as freedom to play around with the short cuts~" she said seeming to enjoy it as an idea regardless of all else. It seemed they were ready enough. "Feel free to go with those thoughts whenever they make themselves applicable. I know I will~" she flirted as she returned her eyes to her own screen. They could start now. And play until their hearts were content as far as she was concerned.

[Bloodedge]

"Maybe," he asserted. Perhaps he wasn't as far from the likes of Akashi as he thought. Perhaps he was even farther from that point, but he had little choice but to believe in the individual who spent the most time around both forms. He couldn't be too worried about it either way; there was much too much to do. Ah, but there was one thing worth commenting on. Kimiko claimed she wasn't the type to be hypnotized by ridiculous sliders, causing Yugi to snap his fingers in what seemed to be disappointment. "Damnit! Now I need a new master scheme for mind break!" he joked... somewhat.

Did Yugi suffer having a crush on his babysitter? The answer, once again, was both yes and no. Since it was clear to all present, he thought to specify. "Not exactly a babysitter. She was more like... security detail. Stoic, kinda bitchy, oozing confidence... need I explain more?" he rambled, deciding to leave it at that. Frankly, Yugi's preferences had been decided several years ago. Of course, it took something similar to a miracle for them all to coalesce right in front of him. As for the youngest Hoshimi and one who apparently worked for Kimiko herslef, he had little to say. "Aiko seems legit. There's huge danger vibes under that bubbly persona. Not much potential for the snap, but if it ever does happen, I'd rather be on the same side. I'd even say that's something I'd like to see, if that one wasn't so goddamn wholesome. I don't have much knowledge of the guy, but I guess you've got enough for both of us. Weird how we've each had one of them working for us. . ."

And so, their new story was set to begin. At the dawn of a new adventure, there was Kimiko speaking of short haircuts and ideas Yugi was free to roll with. There it was again. As he took control of his newest Avatar, assigning it the name Aether, he thought over that most recent bit of provocation. "Just two things. First, don't try bald. Second, keep in mind that there's a surefire way to not actually play this game, and... that sort of offer is in the ballpark."

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Yugi was content not to say one thing or another about his likeness to Akashi. Perhaps he was willing enough to take her word for it, or maybe instead it was simply something he did not wish to speak on. Regardless, his next words were about something rather interesting. According to him, it was disappointing that he'd have to think of another way to mind-break the girl as sliders alone wouldn't be enough to do so. She couldn't help the chortle that fell out of her mouth and she shook a finger mockingly disapproving the entire time. "You gotta be quicker than that... besides, it'd definitely be boring if I was so easily swayed. A break should be a bit of work to be fun~" she said did she really believe that? Yes. Did she have any problem being a target of a mind-break? Not at all, if the person inflicting it was Aiba Yugi.

Moving on from that, the description that Yugi gave of the older Hoshimi was one which had several overlapping qualities of Kimiko's own personality. It actually lead the young heiress to several new conclusions based solely on that information. "Babysitter, security detail, personal assistant, these are age appropriate terms for people doing the same kind of job, making sure high interest targets remain untargeted," Kimiko said. "And that information tells me two things... you definitely have a type, and I now understand fully why Kei is one of the few people on this side of the world who don't flinch around me," she said with a snicker. Her own personal assistant was an interesting young man in how he chose to carry out his duties, but if even one of his sisters shared similarities to Kimiko his remaining nerve made much more sense to the heiress. The fact that he was also an older brother made sense of his lack of tattling about her making his job harder all the time. "Definite danger under the younger one, and while I don't think she'd have much to worry about here... if she ended up on the other side, I feel like I'd side with her too..." Kimiko said thoughtfully. The streamers of this game's community could be potentially all over the place in the other world. "And it's not that odd we've each had one working for us... they are the best at what they do, Hoshimi Kei is Papa's choice for looking after me. Others have made similar choices even for very different reasons... Kei is funny to me, you'll meet him when he comes back tomorrow and I'm sure you'll understand what I mean by that very easily." she said affirmatively.

They were a very interesting pair of people. Technically being within several of the same social circles while only have a single moment of contact with each other in their childhoods. Whatever the case, there was naming to be done, and Yugi chose the name Aether for his character and Kimiko after a moment or two of thought chose the name Lumine to assign to this Avatar. Yes, twins with names that matched in a technical sense were the best. Still she scoffed at his commentary initially mocking him once more. "Please, my head is perfectly shaped!" she said seemingly aghast. Of course she had no intention of actually going bald, she didn't have a natural short cut for similar reasons, her look was too much her for it to change. "And if it's only in the ballpark I am obviously falling behind somewhere. I have to hit it out of the park or I am failing miserably~" she claimed though she still meant the things she said. They were to begin the prologue play through the story of this new part of the world.

[Bloodedge]

True enough, such a simple mind-break would never have worked out that way in any case. He'd agree that it would be more satisfying to succeed with tougher requirements. "Hmm. You're right. You'd have to be a slut for that. I mean, feel free to be slutty, but nobody really wants that for keeps. Wait... did that make sense?" Ending with a question, Yugi seemed to be losing track of ways to make his train of thought as sensible as desired when translating it to speech. He scoffed upon realizing this. "I'll figure it out!"

Yugi wasn't quite sure he'd place babysitters in the same category as security detail and personal assistants. In fact, he was absolutely certain he would put the former nowhere near the latter two. When Kimiko claimed similarity between them, he showed great disbelief. "No way! Maybe babysitters are like that for someone rich and targetable, but they're not normally there to do anything but make sure kids don't do stupid stuff or ruin the house. The Hoshimi I had on hand was also a total failure if babysitting was her job," he declared. As for his apparent preferred type of girl, it wasn't as if he'd ever been hiding those desired traits. He was, however, hiding something else... which happened to be the reason Yugi had zero desire to meet the Hoshimi again. "I'll pass on the meeting if at all possible. Rie-nee was cool, but I've got no interest in having anything to do with that family again─" he claimed. Somewhere in the manor Yugi grew up in, there may have still been an article of clothing his younger self had... acquired and stashed away. She'd been a tough nut to crack, but Yugi was at least 80% certain she knew he was the culprit in spite of his father's nature.

Well-shaped head or not, there was one thing Yugi could never find attractive: baldness. If it ever needed saying properly, he'd be the first to accept whatever darkness accompanied his viewpoint. "I would ghost you for whatever number of years it took to grow back," he said, meaning every word. Something was very wrong with baldness and anyone who chose to be hairless. In youth, 'baldy' had even been one of Yugi's favorite insults for anyone he found irksome. Whatever the case, their started gameplay began just as all things between them tended to... with an accompanying devious conversation. It seemed anything short of a home run was insufficient for Kimiko. The journey began in a new land of AoE's immersive world, and Yugi decided to offer some casual reprieve. "Well, there's no way you can do that without even picking up your bat. That's not how baseball works~" he said cheekily.

[Apollymi]

A very interesting statement would leave the mouth of Yugi after Kimiko mentioned it being boring if she was the type to get easily distracted by male anatomical changes alone. He made the statement that no one wanted a slut for keeps but that she was also free to be slutty. It was a strange contradiction and he wondered if he made his point. Surprisingly enough, Kimiko gave it a bit of actual thought, "It might actually make sense if I am interpreting it correctly," she started. "To be a slut as a person is markedly different from behaving slutty for a particular focus or instance. I took it as freedom to my sexual expression, and avoiding the obvious pitfalls of the stereotype. Even girls don't like those... They cause us to question ourselves and make it complicated, at least for people like me, to properly express ourselves," she said. She wasn't the type to have many girl friends in her life. But she'd been party and witness to what happens when girls think other girls are out to get them and what happens when girls take a hard stance against a certain other girl for whatever reason. It's chaos. Besides that there were by her own understanding a lot of emotional problems associated with the bimbo slut stereotype who was just out for gratification while lacking emotional depth.

Yugi made the claim that he couldn't call his Hoshimi a babysitter given how bad she would have been at such a job. Kimiko took from this that she must have been hired to eliminate targets around the lad not really to look after him in the same way that hers was. That would make a bit of sense. Whatever the case, he apparently wished to skip out on meeting Kei if it was possible as he did not want to get into dealing with that group again. "I mean he's my personal assistant you're bound to encounter him at some point though it doesn't have to be tomorrow. Especially not with me planning to hire Satoru to be the same kind of person for me. We all get along already but I can't like send him to get morning coffee before he realized he's got a new job~" she said jokingly. "Hm, I am staring to wonder if I am rude..." she mused. Even people she as fond of she simply called by their names most of the time. Well, except when she was Miki, that version of her was a bit more respectful at base than Kimiko was as a person.

Moving on from this point the joke about her perfectly shaped head earned Kimiko some new information. Apparently, she'd be ghosted until her hair grew back if she happened to adapt the idea of being bald. "Nice to know it would only be a hiatus. I am not interested in being bald though..." she said finding the whole thing more than a little amusing. She'd already begun planning to spend more and more time around this young man but here and now it was quite nice to discover he was doing the same at least a little bit. Speaking of their adventure, they had one they were undertaking but not without a bit of shared deviance between them. A gentle baseball reference was made and it was followed by another with a bit more... spice. "Hoh? I have all important keys mapped to the buttons on this mouse, are you trying to test both my dexterity and concentration today, Yugi?" she asked in a manner that implied innocence while the light in her eyes implied a special kind of deviance. Yes, she hoped they could get through a bit of this game, but that wouldn't stop her from seeking their combined gratification whenever it presented itself.

[Bloodedge]

Much to Yugi's satisfaction, Kimiko did make sense of his rambling. Good; he was hardly in a position to explain it in a better way. "Yeah, that's a way better way to word it! I mean, what guy can honestly say he'd turn down a total slut if she wasn't... actually a slut? That'd be dumb. It's like, 'here, have a thing of infinite value that nobody else can have,' or something like that." Yugi's belief was firm. Sultry behavior was not something to be viewed with disdain so long as it wasn't thrown about with reckless abandon.

Yes, Yugi was almost destined to encounter one Hoshimi Kei eventually. The longer he could put that off, the better his mental state would be as a result. The oldest of the Hoshimi children was one he had long since penned as very family-oriented. Depending on the demeanor of the sole male among them, there was a chance for words and full tales to be shared. That would be awkward. Maybe he'd get lucky, and the bodyguard/personal assistant of Kimiko would take or be forced on an extended vacation before a fated meeting? One could hope Kimiko's new assistant would find himself hired as soon as possible. "First and foremost, you're definitely rude. It's kinda hot in an ara ara type of way. Second, you can definitely send him for coffee before he knows he's hired. Isn't it kind of your thing to make people do stuff? You made him drive us to McDonald's, the theater, and would have forced him to take us a few other places if we didn't leave early."

He would not have to deal with a bald Kimiko one way or another, but it seemed his 'ghosting' would not be the required way at all. Good. Unnecessary though it was, that relief was something he carried into the open world of Teyvat as his newest Avatar. Ah... he was also carrying Kimiko's threat of deviance, as always. One joke led to another, which led to... a challenge? That mention of hot keys on a mouse sounded like some sort of challenge, if not a boast given in response to challenge itself. "Are you trying to make me believe you've got secret, top-tier deviant gamer skills on day one? I won't believe it. What sort of practicing would you have even done, and why would that be a thing you thought to prepare for?"

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, Kimiko's thoughts about the 'slut vs. slutty' situation were on the money. He hadn't thought of a better way to word it, and her understanding of it was right on the mark. He even described a person with the type of behavior she would describe herself as having, as one of infinite value. Of course this information was good for Kimiko to have and all. It was also strangely comforting to know she'd given a lad with this sort of view the ability to know her as she truly was, "I can see that working out that way. Girls are preconditioned to hate those who throw themselves around with recklessness early in puberty. Also the avoidance of the guys that choose them because well... tainted by the experience," she affirmed but she was also firm in her beliefs. If a guy didn't just chase down those who only threw themselves about recklessly they were worth more than just their libido.

On the talks of Hoshimi Kei and Yugi's desire to avoid the lad, Kimiko had begun to question herself and Yugi also let her have it. According to him she was definitely rude, but it was something he found attractive. "Oi oi, you could have held back a little ya' know? My poor heart can't take it!" she said in grand gesture even holding her chest as if wounded. Of course, this was a theatrical performance and she was conscious enough of herself to know she was in fact rude, but if Yugi had no problem with how she was, she'd likely never actually do anything about her mannerisms. "And I don't make people do stuff... I pay people to do stuff. I suppose I could add it to his signing bonus," she gave it a casual bit of thought. "I should have gotten his number, though he seems to know how to find me just fine..." she said only to double back to an earlier thought. "Also I didn't force him to take us anywhere. He wanted to talk and see the movie, he had a car... this was a matter of convenience for all involved parties." she exclaimed seeming to take issue with the idea that she forced people to do things. Then again, everyone who worked for her operated under an umbrella of doing their own tasks with their own interpretation. Perhaps, in his early cycling Gojo Satoru just saw himself doing those things.

Relief and jokes were shared by both of these individuals. Kimiko was happy to know her overbearing mannerisms did nothing to the lad she was with and was infinitely comfortable being her normal perverted self around him. At the same time, she continued on her rather deviant path, and it seemed Yugi took her little challenge a very specific way. "Listen, I have said I am very odd, and queues for instances in certain games are really long. I will say I wasn't preparing for anything in particular but sometimes, you have itch and you gotta take care of it, and online games don't pause," she said seeming proud of herself. "I wasn't about to drop out of a queue I'd been waiting in for 15 minutes for a lobby to fill up, Yugi~" she claimed as if this was a perfectly normal line of thought. Maybe it wasn't but she doubted the lad with her wouldn't understand her plight. "It wasn't purely selflessly that I set up my bedroom gaming situation to only need one screen and one hand, is all I am saying..."

[Bloodedge]

The knowledge of girls' development and the attitudes they were held from was not uncommon knowledge. Yugi knew of this well from observation, online forums and the like, and he had a single clause to offer for his understanding. "Conditioning is dumb. If people want to be perverts, let them be filthy degenerates all they like. That'd make it even easier to find the undesirables as well, I think," he asserted.

Ashikaga Kimiko was a rude individual. Ashikaga Kimiko was a bossy individual. Ashikaga Kimiko was a sassy individual. Ashikaga Kimiko was a fan to the flame of Aiba Yugi's libido and general interest for these reasons, among others. He had no complaints to offer about her nature. "Oh please, you're bitchy and you get off on it! So do I, so I'm not complaining," he added. Speaking of Kimiko's apparent bitchiness, there was the matter of her forced labor, even if indirect. True, she didn't personally goad Satoru into doing those things yesterday, but that didn't make it any less her fault that they happened. "You literally can't say those things while being so sure he's going to work for you. He already does work for you, including when he drove us around. He wouldn't have done it for me; that's something people do off the clock for coworkers and bosses they respect. Otherwise, he doesn't seem like a nice enough guy to put himself at risk like that, given everything going on in his situation."

Oh. Once again, it was being discovered that Kimiko was not so simple a puzzle to solve as the general public. The tale she gave was one of self-exploration during long waits in gaming sessions. Relatable as that was for one such as Yugi, his assumption had gone leaps and bounds beyond that, into more fantastical notions. "Huh. And here I figured you were going to say something about deepthroating a cucumber beside you while tackling a raid. And before you ask, I'm not the least bit sure why I figured you would have a cucumber in your bedroom instead of a million yen dildo or something. As a guy, I can say masturbating while doing literally anything else isn't that much of a feat. You'll have to come up with something more impressive than that~"

[Apollymi]

Yugi's understanding of the conditioning of the female gender was an interesting concept. He thought it dumb. Of course he did, she was sure this lad thought everything was dumb in some way, shape or form. Regardless, he did make an interesting point, if everyone was sexually deviant it would be much easier to spot those who were terrible humans but attractive. Still, it was a bit of a pipe dream. "I will agree that would make it easier for guys and girls to come to terms. It might even make it easier for guys not to be lead astray, but I will say it probably wouldn't work out that way. Girls will see undesirable traits in other girls and decide that acting such a way isn't at all what they want, long before the guys of equal age can see past their erections," she said. That was something she was oddly certain of, girls knew of the dark nature of womanhood as soon as the first of them hit puberty. In that decisive moment sometime in middle school a girl would be forced to choose a side. And those who chose the not 'forward' slutty way would be taking the long way around for sexual freedom and happiness.

Interestingly enough, she did could not have prepared herself for Yugi's understanding of her nature. He claimed that she was bitchy, she got off on it and so did he? Well, that was obvious but also comforting. He lodged no complaints about her nature and acceptance of her person was something she always desired. Strangely enough that led to a warm sensation inside her chest, and further confirmation of her good decision making. "Well as long as you're not complaining... I see no reason to change," she said softly, her face was flushed again as well. He always did this to her. It was strange to note but he seemed perfectly capable of disarming her normally sassy attitude and causing her to revert to blushing normal girl with only a passing comment. As for Satoru, apparently he already worked for Kimiko according to Yugi and she couldn't argue against his points while being certain the man would work for her. It was also apparently obvious to Yugi that Satoru was already behaving as a coworker or employee who respected their boss. "I don't know about that. He is wary of me and it was still just convenient, even if he's nice enough to go out of his way a bit. He could just be in full panic mode because he already knows his police career is over..." Kimiko concluded this. "Also there is no telling that he wouldn't do you a favor, he's a fan of yours~" she chimed as if that made it work out just a bit.

Moving on, Yugi went on to explain how his brain worked out her previous statement. He seemed to think immediately of her fellating a cucumber and playing a raid. Her brows rose at this statement. It was something she'd done before but that wasn't really the point here and now. He claimed that as a guy masturbating while doing anything wasn't as real a feat as she thought it was. "I wasn't claiming it was a huge feat, I was just explaining why I was set up this way. As for sex toys I have quite a few but I haven't gotten quite that brave yet..." she said with a chuckle. "And cucumber deepthroating is something done with some actual down time initially. Of course, I can say right now that I am fully capable of such a feat regardless, if you'd like to put that theory into practice I won't be proven wrong~" she said. True enough even in their first sexual encounter in this world, she'd placed her own theoretical practices and made herself capable of doing the impossible. She'd continue on in such a way regardless of what else she was doing.

[Bloodedge]

"That's always going to be the case. When you're a guy, the boner controls everything you do, every decision you make. It's the reason I've almost made at least fifteen non-gaming decisions in the past few minutes alone, really," he said, knowing he'd nearly tossed the idea of playing anything more than a dozen times since sitting down. He was mere seconds from doing so here and now, but there were other topics at hand that functioned as ample distraction... or at least, most of the things they discussed fit that criteria.

One such example was the discussion of Gojo Satoru, and whether his were those of a friendly individual, or those of a subordinate. Kimiko's point could not be fully discredited; she wasn't at all wrong about his fears and the like. "I think you're right, but I also think there's way more to it than that. He seemed just as interested in making your life easier as he seemed worried about his own life. To be fair, from his perspective, you've got a lot more on your plate than any random girl should ever be dealing with. Sounds like dedication to me either way─ especially with his agreement at the end there. I also wouldn't consider it a good thing if he's a fan of mine. . ."

So, he wasn't too far off the mark with the cucumber thing. Kimiko confirmed the attempt, albeit not in the same scenario he'd been imagining. She also spoke of some number of toys in her possession─ ones she'd never built up the courage to make use of. Strange that she hadn't the gall for toys, but had all the gumption required to slide a firm cucumber into her throat. Well... Yugi wasn't here to judge, right? "So you went for something super hard instead of something super flexible? That sounds more like the backwards way of doing something," he said. Of course, there was something of a challenge on the proverbial table. Rather, Kimiko responded to a challenge yet to be issued... so it only felt right that Yugi issue it posthaste. "If you say you can do it, it's not like I don't believe you or anything. It's a little tough to imagine, though. If you've got a cucumber on hand, I'm game to see what that's like."

[Apollymi]

Yugi gave Kimiko a lesson in the male anatomy and psyche and she listened to it intently. This particular male wouldn't exaggerate such a thing in a non-joking manner, so she'd take this information provided on good faith. Still, it was shameful that half the population of the world was seemingly cursed by their own physicality. "Honestly, that sounds like it sucks. I don't envy you on that front..." she said with a solemn nod. Of course, this would not stop her from taking full advantage of him whenever the opportunity presented itself. She was far from altruistic and would still sate her own desires with this lad as they'd discussed previously. "Not to worry, I'll make sure we make good decisions~" she said happily. Besides keeping the undesirable away from Yugi was a task she took unto herself, irrespective of having already agreed to do exactly that... he could feel free to let his boners lead as long as she was the goal at the end of his race.

Speaking of things she took unto herself, the man known as Gojo Satoru was to begin working for her at some point in the near future, whether he was aware of that situation already or not. Either way, Yugi had interesting points to make about the man and his potential reasons for doing all the things he did for Kimiko. To be fair, she couldn't discredit Yugi's points either, strange though it was. "Hm, I suppose that could be counted as fair enough. I still can't say I understand anyone being overly worried about the stuff I have going on, but I have found it to be one of the better qualities of those who work for me," she said. Truly such individuals usually went above and beyond their normal dealings to make sure their jobs were done correctly. She'd count it as a positive character trait. Beyond that point though, Yugi apparently didn't think being a fan of his was a good thing. "I think being a fan of yours is a great thing," she said seemingly very sure of herself. "You might be too hard on yourself, but not to worry... I'll look after you~" she mused sincerely. She knew this lad had been a pivotal whistle blower in the case against the former prime minister. She also knew what it was like to watch fall out from decisions you'd made. It took a lot for her to come to terms with things she did from time to time, but she wouldn't deny the goodness of herself in those moments. She'd make a personal note to make sure Yugi understood the goodness of himself as she did... it was to be a new mission of hers.

Those missions currently included a lot of random sexual deviance. Right just now, Yugi was making the claim that if she had a cucumber she could go for it. Ah... he did not yet know the full breath of her extreme nature. One of those daring platinum shaded portals opened by her unoccupied hand. The other continued to play the game they were both playing while she took hold of a cucumber. Quite sizable in its own right it was the same length and girth as Yugi's own member. "First, it isn't hard, it has about the texture one needs not to have to go to the hospital if you mess up. As an aside... I didn't want to start with a sex toy collection before experiencing the real thing... what if I ruined sex for myself? In any or all of its forms? Yeah, definitely wasn't gonna do that..." Kimiko said as she flicked her tongue around the smoothness of the end of the cucumber. Then within a moment or two, she'd worked towards slipping it into the depths of her mouth and down her throat, with only a playful wink to offer Yugi as she acted on that particular 'challenge'. If he couldn't imagine it, she'd show him... it was simple enough a thing to deliver. Oh and this little demonstration came with sounds, a gentle moan and some strange slurping sounds as she held this food based object at the back of her throat.

[Bloodedge]

'Good decisions' as Kimiko called them were something Yugi would go on to question. He wasn't sure the things she had in mind classified as 'good' by the general populace, though he was certain his own mind and body would consider them such. Either way, many of the things she said this day were coalescing in his mind. Perhaps it had to do with the horniness he continued suffering from that he was envisioning school-based deviance constantly. That wasn't even properly related to their conversation, but it kept appearing nonetheless. . .

Something was said about Kimiko's future employee, but what was it? Yugi was beginning to lose track of the more casual topics they discussed. Whatever the case, they reached a point of disagreement; Kimiko believed his weird cult of fans were in the right, and he believed the opposite. "I'll agree to disagree," he stated plainly. He could, however, agree that the common trait of her workers was beneficial in all regards. There was an air of camaraderie in something like that, as opposed to the usual assembly line-quality of a workforce. "Anyway, you don't really have to understand it if it's something you can vibe with. I get it. It's good energy to have in a professional setting, and a lot of people seem to neglect how important interpersonal relationships are," he summarized.

Ah, how surprising it was that Yugi managed any amount of reasonable thought. There were so many distractions present in his mind, and even more distractions attacking his eyes and ears. Kimiko explained the purpose of random household fruits like cucumbers, as opposed to toys made for sexual purposes. The logic was sound, he supposed. He could even count it as a personal victory that no 'ruining' had occurred prior to his arrival. Alas, Yugi himself was being ruined time and time again. It came as no surprise that Kimiko rose to the supposed challenge, summoning a random cucumber of an oddly familiar build from her magical storage. Yugi would soon find his game character being attacked by grunts in the open world, or rather... he wouldn't find that at all. No, he was far too occupied watching the sudden fellating of that cucumber, the momentary blink of one eye, and the following swell of the heiress' throat. Moaning and slurping assaulted his ears, and if things weren't bad enough already, it was suddenly quite painful to be wearing pants. Why was it necessary to stage an offense against most of his senses? He wasn't exactly complaining, but... maybe he should. Yes, he should! There was a bead forming at the tip of his pants-tent, and she was to blame for it! "Oi oi! That's just downright rude! I'm gonna get jealous of a fruit. Don't make me go to war with plants. Or... keep doing it. I don't know what to think anymore─"

[Apollymi]

Kimiko found this lad's level of distraction amusing. Of course, they were still having a conversation for a bit, but several of his thoughts seemed to end. Agree to disagree... what an interesting point to disagree on. Perhaps one day she'd get to the bottom of that one. Still apparently interpersonal relationships were concerned she'd give her team credit for maintaining theirs with her and each other. "Hai hai, I don't worry about it too much, it's just a bit weird," she said of the situation surrounding her employees. It was a fact that she chose them for the way they could interact with both her and each other, but it was always weird how much they seemed to care about her day to day life. Such was obvious with the one of her employees they'd run into in the other world.

Speaking of the other world, Kimiko was still playing, saving Yugi's character from an assault by grunts while she actively performed fellatio on a cucumber. She knew he was watching her, and it was her responsibility to watch his back in game so she'd do that. Of course, she couldn't help but enjoy the active attention and there was a bit of slickness building up between her legs in a moment like this. And what did he have to say for himself? He'd wage war on plants? Be jealous of a fruit? She dislodged the cucumber from her throat only toi speak teasing words seemingly pleased enough to send it right back when it was done. "War on plants is a bit weird. It didn't do anything to you~" she managed while sticking her tongue out. "Those grunts on the screen however almost murdered you," she mentioned with an eye roll. "You're welcome by the way~" she stated knowing she'd saved his character's life while riling him up quite a bit. Her character free of combat began walking towards a nearby statue, apparently a safe zone which would allow for a bit of deviation for a while, there was nothing wrong with a quick break or something right? Besides, he needed to heal up his character so nothing would be amiss about this entire situation.

[Bloodedge]

"I don't think it's weird. You might only think so because you're so used to frightening the shit out of people with your name, face and reputation," Yugi stated. By her mannerisms and beliefs alone, Kimiko was certain to perpetuate a work environment that maintained healthy relationships between coworkers. As he saw it, the business could run itself in terms of worker communication and the like. Not once so far had he seen or heard anyone checking in with the young boss via call or text. Considering the number of people under her employ, that would have been nigh impossible in a different situation.

It would have been an excellent day to be a cucumber. Yugi watched with a hefty dose of intent, looking for every little movement and mentally replacing the phallic fruit with himself for the short duration of display. Soon enough, the cucumber was pulled out and returned to its resting place somewhere in that infinite collection realm of hers. Kimiko claimed plants did nothing to him, but oh how wrong she was. "Lies. I just got cucked by a green thing that should be on a snack plate. Kinda liked it, too. I got a whole new perspective to see that from, so I guess the plants can stay for now," he proclaimed, thinking it was quite lovely to see something like that from different, normally impossible angles. While he'd been watching so intently though, apparently his new character had nearly been killed. Yugi looked toward the screen at last, his eyes widening upon witnessing his own health meter. "Oh shit! I forgot I'm not OP enough to just idle in the open yet!" he exclaimed. "Nice save," he added. Onward to the statue he went, his character trudging along with a health bar that had gone from green to red. Upon reaching said statue, a green glow encompassed him and returned his health to... only half. Apparently, he was required to interact with it and change its settings to a full heal. It seemed there was also a pool of energy within said statue, and... oh. "At this rate, I'm going to run out of juice in this statue before finishing the prologue. What was I saying again?"

[Apollymi]

Was it only weird because of the way her life normally played out? Probably. Thinking about it logically, people were normally quite afraid of her and the ones that weren't were generally undesirable. She did not like those who approached her looking for status, thus all of her personal employees weren't even people who were looking for jobs when picked for their positions. No, they were individuals she met who tickled her fancy who she saw as being completely capable of carrying on tasks whether she was directly present or not. There was a certifiable bond of trust between her and the direct staff she managed. After all, what good were they in their positions if they couldn't be trusted to make at least lesser decisions without calling upon her all the time? "Maybe you're right..." she said giving a happy little smirk afterwards. Though given the words of Romani she still scared some of her staff to death from time to time.

Beyond this point though, Yugi apparently enjoyed watching this little display as much as Kimiko enjoyed being the one to put it on. He described the situation as being cucked, but claimed he did not dislike it in this case. He claimed plants could stay for now, even as she sent the cucumber back into her collection. "Hoh? Noted~" she claimed. Of course, Kimiko had no interest in any other guy but Yugi. Even so, if fruits and vegetables were apt replacements she'd be sure he was witness to anything he wanted to see. Oh, and he finally noticed his near death experience, claiming to have forgotten he couldn't just idle yet, he gave out the call of a nice save as they approached the healing statue. "Hai hai, it was a little my fault after all... being distracting the least I could do is make sure you didn't die," she mused lightly. And now there was a note that he'd run his statue out of juice before they finished the prologue. "Maybe not... this part seems to have a few tasks that if completed will gain us some companions. We could have one each and then with at least one healer on hand, get away with not visiting the statue super often~" she theorized. She wouldn't mind running a healer or support type for general purposes. As for what he was saying before. "And as far as what you were saying, something about watching me deep throating fruits being an enjoyable experience~" she teased. Ah, but it was an enjoyable experience for her as well... Perhaps she should think more about why shoving something down her throat while someone watched was a turn on, but... she did not have to pretend she did not like such things. Yugi would receive the most open version of herself, including all her perverted tendencies.

[Bloodedge]

"I feel like I am. Though..." Yugi paused, having little to no idea how correct he'd actually been. Under normal circumstances, he'd be far more confident in his assertion. Now however, his focus wasn't in the right place at all for belief in his own sensibility. "Honestly, I kinda forgot what I might even be right about. I blame cucumbers─" he asserted. Yugi was finding himself to be very easily distracted, and just as easily suffering a full redirect of his mental state in certain scenarios.

Noted, Kimiko said. That was a sign for interesting future endeavors, and even the recent display was still replaying in Yugi's mind to this very moment. It was indeed Kimiko's fault, just as it was her fault he'd been distracted enough to take so much damage. It was the least she could do to keep his character alive... but when did she ever settle for the least? "The least is something I guess, but I should still make sure you take responsibility. I could have died from that distraction, and we have every reason to believe that could mean something with our weird dimension-hopping being a thing," he rambled, content to make up random consequences for potential character death. "And I got cucked by a cucumber!" he added. Moving on though, the idea of collecting a companion each was sound enough for Yugi's motivation. He had a general idea the type he'd be looking for, though finding it would be a potential annoyance. "You don't have to run healer or anything. It looks like we can cook and get healing from all these recipes. I'm not against farming food mats or anything before we pick up a good support. Hmm... looks like shields are a thing too. That might be more my speed," he said as a brief address of the game itself. Mere moments after, there was a reminder of his original point. Ah yes, he was enjoying the show. "Yeah, it was pretty sweet. I mean, it's losing points for the whole not me thing, but there's only so much I can complain about having a boner for probably the next six hours."

[Apollymi]

"Cucumbers are obviously a solid place to lay blame~" Kimiko added seeming to have no problem with having caused this lad a major distraction. No, it was far too amusing to know she was a point of such a lack of brain function in the lad for her to do anything other than go along with his wording in this case. He was however correct about her staffing and their proposed usefulness, and maybe even correct about Gojo Satoru already fitting that bill. Of course, this wouldn't stop her from a bit of relentless teasing on that white haired man's part, interoffice hazing while prohibited in general did give the rest of the team something to bond over. She found her general antics to be the type of thing that could bring a ragtag group together.

Speaking of bringing people together, it seemed they were dancing closer and closer towards being conjoined in some way, shape or form. In this particular instant, Yugi claimed to make her take responsibility for his distractedness that had nearly gotten his character killed with potential interdimensional consequences. And apparently equally as important was his being cuckold by a cucumber. Kimiko could only laugh at the assertion. "Come now, I would gladly take responsibility for any potential pain and suffering I have caused, but can you really call it a cuck when you said you wanted to see it? And knowing you could replace it... any time you're up for it~" she posed a teasing inquiry without actually denying the lad anything only to switch her topic of focus as easily as she breathed. "I don't always want a healer, but those are sometimes good. Actually, I am likely looking for someone a bit more all around as a support, I am not interested in having a singular focus or anything~" she said knowing the kind of adventuring she was prepared to do. The idea of meal preparation couldn't be overlooked either. "Hm, I am always up for collecting materials... I wonder if I learn how to cook these dishes if it will translate, I feel like that would be super convenient." she said aloud thinking only of good uses of interdimensional learning. Beyond this the show was indeed enjoyed even if wasn't him in the show in particular and thus it lost points. Hm, "Well we could make it you, but then you couldn't watch... well not as directly anyway~" she chimed. There was a lot to be said for the use of cameras, mirrors and other such devices. "And the longevity of your boner is only a matter of will power... nothing so serious as six hours I think~"

[Bloodedge]

To the notion of blaming cucumbers, Yugi nodded. Something had to take blame, and he certainly wasn't going to. So, he'd instead blame cucumbers as well as Kimiko herself! They could both be made to pay─ the cucumber by taking a backseat, and Kimiko by 'taking responsibility' as it were. According to the raven-haired girl, she'd gladly take said responsibility. Damned be the fact that it was Yugi's desire to see that little show; that wasn't the point. "Well yeah, but it doesn't matter that I asked for it," he said in a mock huff. His pretend outrage was even accompanied by a rise. Yugi stood atop the mattress, pointing an accusatory finger down into the girl's face. "You did this!" he announced.

Of course, there was an additional purpose to Yugi standing so suddenly. That would not be acted upon right away, but a thought had begun floating around in his mind. Kimiko spoke of game companions and cooking skills translated to the world they lived in, but Yugi's mind had long since moved on. He did manage to hone in when she spoke of his inability to watch, had he taken the cucumber's place. That, too, was incorrect. He had a magnificent view even normally; it was just a bit different viewing as a third party. In fact, his plan was to gain a more conventional view here and now. By the time Kimiko spoke about the length of time his erection would last, willpower and all that, Yugi was prepared. His controller was held in one hand. His otherwise free hand took hold of his pants' beltline, jerking them down with enough rapidity to free his member. While Kimiko was making the claim of six hours being extensive, Yugi was in the midst of a pelvic thrust that would cause his tool to swipe lengthwise across her parted lips. "Meh, willpower. I think I lost that."

[Apollymi]

It didn't matter that he'd asked for the show he'd witnessed?! How coy. He even had the gall to point his finger in her face and blame her directly for the thing she'd done under his direction and at his challenge. "Oh? Well, I did do it, but that part is your fault... I was only doing as I was asked. I do keep my word~" she claimed. This information was true, if at all possible she kept her word without fail. In a moment like this, even for devious reasons she couldn't be called a liar. She couldn't help but look even more smug even as he rose, he was putting himself into a very interesting position but would he take advantage? Only time would tell.

And tell it did. Yugi was not really listening to her thoughts on the potential usefulness of learning between worlds. No he was far to busy revealing his manhood and aiming it pointedly towards her face. According to him he had no will power and while her lips were parted, his manhood swiped across her lips. She couldn't help her own desires in a moment like this, and rather easily allowed her tongue to flicker across that which seemed to aim for intrusion. "Well, we can't really have that... I'll help you find it~" she mused. Her mouth opening, tongue hanging down leaving enough room for him to slip between her lips while they played along as well. What would they do? Well they were talking about gathering food based mats, she could easily do that, kill grunts and please Yugi. She was certain... of this ability and was more than willing to test it out for now. Actually, this was something of a fantasy which popped up for her as a gamer more than once, in several different sorts of scenarios. She'd allow this one to play out as it would until she couldn't take the tease of it anymore.

[Bloodedge]

Kimiko kept her word, yes. This was good; they'd find out how well she kept her word about Yugi replacing that cucumber. It was without hesitation that Yugi swept his groin across Kimiko's lips from the side, and interestingly enough, she showed a similar lack of hesitation in... well, licking it. With that provocative maneuver, she offered to help Yugi find his willpower. Oh? In what manner, he wondered. "Really? My willpower to do what, though," he murmured. She was certainly primed to help him with something, given the open state of her mouth after that proclamation. Yugi seemed caught somewhere between astounded and intrigued. What was there to do then?

Naturally, it only made sense for Yugi to answer the proverbial call. He'd been given an invitation, and he was going to take it. Hadn't there been some discussion between the two about the lass being a better host? Well, it was time to find out. Kimiko's tongue was protruding, so Yugi took the time to rub himself across it on his way into her open maw. Maybe one day, they'd make it through five minutes alone without showing blaring signs of deviance... but that day would not come soon. No, it was much more imperative for one of them, if not each, to end up with a mouthful of the other's genitals.

[Apollymi]

"Does it really matter what willpower I help with?" Kimiko asked as if she wasn't sure herself. Of course, she'd help him clear his head whenever he needed. She'd already proved that, here and now she'd stroked a gentle fire into a blaze which ended with his manhood against her mouth. It seemed it would not matter long term which way they went about it, they'd were going to end up exactly where they pleased. This time, Yugi's shaft moved across her protruding tongue a bit before it began its journey inward. Kimiko for her part in this allowed her tongue to move quite a bit, even allowing the tip to firm a bit as she dragged it along the underside of his shaft as he found his home within her mouth. She'd take him into the depths there, with just as much ease as she had that cucumber before. A gentle moan would escape her as her mouth filled and she gently swallowed applying suction and allowing Yugi to reach one of the homes his manhood could claim as real-estate on her body.

They were now, busy here and she was busy in game gathering materials her eyes flickering around but eventually moving up Yugi's body to watch him again. Oh, something about this was a strange bit erotic. There was that bit of wetness building up in her own loins, she only needed one hand for the game right? Yeah, that was right... she could use her other, both on Yugi and on herself whenever the mood struck.

[Bloodedge]

Whether the target of Kimiko's 'assistance' mattered or not was a question deserving an answer. Yugi was prepared to answer while she was busy caressing his shaft with her tongue, but words escaped him for a moment due to suddenly being placed deep within her mouth with an array of sensations to accompany the act. There was a tugging sensation, and with it came a wave of vibrations joining the audible moan. As opposed to speaking his response, Yugi moaned as well. Damn. He thought he would get away with not delaying a retort this time, but apparently Kimiko had a plan that opposed his.

Gaming effectively was going to be difficult. Still, he'd make an effort... soon. For the time being, the standing lad saw a gentle thrusting of his hips that did not occur by the processes of his own brain. Actually, it seemed his groin was content to follow along with Kimiko's inhales. Finally, that statement came back to him. "It kinda does. Willpower to stay hard, willpower to get rid of it, etcetera etcetera~" he claimed. It seemed he was expecting a response, but even Yugi's body disagreed with discussion at the time. Just after he'd spoken, his hips shifted forward more and more, slowly as it were. That cucumber slid downward with such ease, why shouldn't he? All the while, his gaze was far from the game, instead locking onto the face he was presently penetrating.

[Apollymi]

Whatever Yugi planned to say in a moment like this, was seemingly delayed by the combined efforts of Kimiko and his manhood. She received in this exchange a moan and the gentle thrusting of his hips which seemed to being without his express permission. If one could smile while their mouth was full of another person's genitals, Kimiko would be doing exactly that, well... more like a smirk really. Still, Yugi eventually found his voice and what would he say? It mattered the distinction would she help him get rid of his boner or help him keep it? That was still an interesting thought but it truly didn't matter and there was a reason why.

It so happened that Kimiko thought that regardless of his physical reaction there was nothing but benefit to be taken. Having given just enough concentration to the game and the phallus sliding down her throat as she swallowed gently, those eyes of hers met his looking down in her face. She couldn't really answer him at a time like this... or could she? Well, they had a great many powers in that other world, and several of the basic ones worked. Why couldn't she hold their preferred private chat while her mouth was otherwise occupied. "It does not. If you have the willpower to stay hard, we'll work together and get rid of it. If you have the willpower to make it go away... well, we can have fun with it until it does, and bring it back when we're ready for more~" she commented those eyes of hers desirous as that unoccupied hand finally slipped between moist folds in a manner most familiar. "Besides, I get milk regardless so it really doesn't matter~" she thought in the same way towards the lad. Only aloud did those moans happen as he slipped further and further down her throat. Her tongue accosted him, while her fingers moved about her own folds occassionally brushing against the bud at the tip of her sex bringing extra sensation which caused her to moan around him as well. Ah... she was losing a bit of focus this way, but they were just gathering mats, nothing terrible was happening on screen right now.

[Bloodedge]

While his length was appearing and disappearing within the confines of Kimiko's mouth, Yugi received a rebuttal he hadn't been expecting. The content of her response was something to be expected, but the telepathic nature of it was something he hadn't given any thought to since returning to this world. Well, that just made things easier, didn't it? Even so... "That's just cheating. I thought you were gonna gag your way through a barely-understandable reply. Too much hentai?" he wondered aloud.

He'd entered the girl's throat, but her tongue hadn't stopped moving across his length. Moreover, all the moaning and swallowing managed only to further arouse him. Yugi knew this gaming session wasn't going to last much longer. Already to the point of throbbing within the depths of Kimiko's throat, he was subjected to the thought of abandoning gameplay plans entirely. On the other hand, Kimiko seemed focused enough to continue playing, so he could put forth the same effort... though the shifting of her free arm could have only led her hand to one place, for one purpose. Noting this, Yugi came to a simple conclusion. "Y'know, this isn't very conducive to gaming. Something's gonna be given up on sooner or later," he chimed, finally tearing his gaze away long enough to grab a few cooking ingredients in the game. Even whilst doing that, his mind was elsewhere. "And I don't think it changes a thing that I can't just stand here forever─"

[Apollymi]

Cheating. Apparently, Kimiko deciding to take the most effective approach of speaking directly to the lad before her through the link their minds possessed went around his expectations. He'd figured she would gag her way through barely audible speech. "Well, there isn't really such a thing as too much hentai, but hentai seems to be the only anime medium making the unreasonable choice of girl choking through speech or guy trying to talk through being smothered. Especially when one considers two random people in action genres talking to each other across battlefields or basketball courts. I want that kind of suspended belief~" she claimed with a curt nod. "Besides, using every power we have available to us is how we have fun as magical degens!~" she proclaimed.

Yes, she was still masturbating and yes she was still playing and yes she was very much enjoying Yugi moving his hips and thus his manhood in and out of her mouth. Ah, he'd taken note of her extra activity and had something to say about it. Said actions weren't conducive to gameplay. Something would be given up eventually... he couldn't keep standing here the whole time. "What are you talking about... this is perfectly conducive... it just depends on what thing we're defining as a game. Farming for mats has never been more interesting~" she wasn't exactly lying. Sex during such a menial part of gameplay was far from problematic in her own case. And as far as she was concerned, they'd finish this, leave their characters by one of the statues, finish up their debauchery and either move on from gaming or go right back to it. They had a few more hours yet to spend on random things, it wouldn't hurt their plans in the grand scheme of things.

[Bloodedge]

The conversation continued into a dialogue regarding hentai, or rather general anime and its... strange methods of character interactions. Once more, a reference to a particular series was picked up immediately and scoffed about. "Yeah, that's pretty dumb. I dunno, though. Call me a next-level degen, but the choking through speech thing is kinda hot," Yugi admitted. He'd seen a great many sultry episodes and series, and found watching that type of scene to be something of odd interest. He couldn't explain why if he tried, but it was a truth he wouldn't withhold. "But if that doesn't work for you, who am I to question it?"

It was quite the surprise to Yugi that he could even collect more than three items before looking away from the screen. It was just as surprising that he was still standing, as opposed to kneeling with a view of Kimiko's backside by now. Restraint must have been a virtue he'd acquired in recent times. Kimiko was right, though; the notion of a game was relative. This was called foreplay, after all. "Hmm. I guess you've got a point. I should be able to play more than one thing at a time," he summarized with an additional pelvic thrust into the lass' face. A few more materials were picked up, and then, Yugi began to lower himself while keeping Kimiko's head against his groin with one hand. He wasn't going to do something stupid like remove himself, after all. "But, standing on a bed is a little five years ago for me. With all that talk, you shouldn't have a problem gaming sideways, right?~"

[Apollymi]

Of course, between this pair, references were never missed. It seemed that Yugi at least shared her opinion about the speech patterns of action anime. At the same time he apparently found something interesting about someone trying to talk with their mouth full. He even appointed himself a next-level degen due to this particular point of intrigue. "Noted..." she mentioned in that same link. Of course, she'd never actually mentioned not doing such a thing but it seemed a waste for regular conversation which could be shared without the need of clarification. Maybe she'd discover what was so interesting about such a thing in a moment. Perhaps she'd just use it later, or maybe she'd just try it out later to see what he said. Strangely she could only immediately think he couldn't say he didn't have a muck-bang fetish of some sort if that was on his list of approved likes. Not that she minded any of that, she was in general quite accepting of the lad. And since he seemed fine with whatever she did, she would give him the same freedom with her.

Still there were more important things being discussed. Like Yugi's ability to play more than one kind of game at a time. What was more such a sentiment was accompanied by another thrust towards her face which she readily accepted as she did all things from Yugi. He held a hand to the back of her head which she found oddly comforting while he lowered himself into something more of a kneeling position. He made the claim that standing on beds was something he'd left in the past, and stated she was probably fine with gaming from the side. Instead of answering this directly she simply kept her work. The movements of her mouth and tongue along with those of her hands did not stop. At the same time her eyes flickered a little over the screen, she'd definitely have to give it up sometime soon but now wasn't that time. In fact, she seemed pretty close to a flourish from her present combined activities. Whatever the case, she'd be testing her newest established theory sometime in the near future, all while this newfound position left her drooling quite a bit as she opened her mouth for a bit more space before diving back in properly.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed there would be no opposition to Yugi's movement. Actually, by the time he was down to his knees, he could say the exact opposite. Something had already become... very different. Yugi hadn't even lowered himself as completely as intended; it was his plan to sit down. Alas, he paused on his knees due to the sudden addition of moisture around his tool. "... Eh?" he muttered. The feeling had become far more intense, and moreover, something about the visual was out of this world. It seemed... a bit sloppy, and a hundred times more pleasant to feel, hear and even see. "Suddenly, I understand everything─" he gathered while lowering himself further.

Kimiko's mouth opened more. In that moment, she took him deeper into her maw, and Yugi fell deeper into both the mattress and some form of insanity. His hips attempted retreat as if seeking recovery, but just as easily rose as if his member sought its own destruction. The poor lad could offer only passing glances to the ongoing game─ just long enough to pinpoint the nearest plant to collect or wildlife to slay. Try as he might, there was no getting over this heightened interest. There was a certain... almost hunger that could be interpreted via Kimiko's current actions. Someone walking around as if they were starved for dick could garner no legitimate respect, but in a moment like this, Yugi could make several exceptions. After all, he was officially winning everything but the game they were meant to be participating in. Oh well; he didn't need to win both games they were playing. . .

[Apollymi]

Apparently, Yugi had intended to sink further down than just to his knees, but the additional moisture surrounding his manhood was something unexpected. Whatever he'd come to understand, it seemed by Kimiko's own account that he very much liked what was happening now. She wouldn't be the one to change her antics while they seemed to be working. Besides, part of the added moisture was happenstance, and part was the need to force out all of the build up in her jaws. Taking breaths while moving around with her mouth full in such a way was a rather delicate procedure, sacrifices had to be made. But it was hardly considered a sacrifice when Yugi seemed to like it so much.

As he settled into her mattress, drool leaked from the corners of her lips down his tool and further still. She could not be certain of where all that moisture went, but she could be certain that he was barely concentrating on the game as it was. She continued on her search moving her head more and more and finding it a bit easier with all the added moisture. Of course, she continued to play, gathering materials, slaying small animals including birds and boars that hit her whenever they popped up, but that being said, even she was starting to lose a bit of focus. Her own work with fingers between her folds had reached the pacing she enjoyed among the slickness and with it her own moaning had become something which would only do more. Now then what was she to do... share that encrouching finish as Yugi move around in the wetness of her mouth. "C-omfph...wh---en... yofpg- --awnt..." she stated mouth full. Strange, she did not actually hate doing this, though she could understand potential problems with it. It definitely wasn't something she'd do with him occupying the depths of her throat or anything. "I'mphf... co--mfging!~" Yep. That is when she decided to test that out... while moaning around the shaft which occupied her mouth while her own fingers brought her untold bliss. Goosed flesh spread across her body and she very easily relaxed into her own position rather nice...

[Bloodedge]

Yugi soon fell into the most uncomfortably comfortable seated position of his young life. The bed was fine, of course, but it had nary a thing to do with his... relaxed torment. By now, it felt as if he'd fallen waist-deep into a vat of lubricant, sans his legs. Oh, Yugi knew exactly where that excess moisture was going. He could feel it washing over his groin as lips, tongue and throat spread it about. He could feel it beginning to coat his pelvis, and oddly... he could feel it dripping between his thighs and testicles, making its way into the crack of his backside. Though that final sensation wasn't something he considered pleasurable, it was strangely not off-putting. No, it actually served the odd purpose of solidifying the intensity of a moment.

Lo, there was something surprising adding itself to the mix as well. They had a brief discussion about the act of speaking with a mouthful of genitals, but at the end of it, he assumed such a thing would not be occurring. Much to his surprise, Kimiko's lips began moving for a secondary purpose. Why he actually understood what she was saying, he wasn't at all sure. Regardless, both messages were received without issue... and so was a bit more. "H'oh? Guess it'd be rude if I didn't do the same," he said. In truth, the fluid that would subsequently spew from Yugi's groin was not at all a thing of his decision. Arousal had taken him to such an extent that he, once again, found himself tipping over the edge by something as simple as a statement or two from Kimiko. Perhaps he should have been concerned by how easily he erupted within the mouth of Kimiko; it almost seemed to be something that occurred on command, just as it would be here and now. Interestingly enough, he remained throbbing during, throughout, and even in the aftermath of expulsion. That... was not something he would even consider being concerned about.

[Apollymi]

It would appear that Kimiko found a great deal of comfort herself. She tried out this particular brand of speech while edging herself towards the abyss. And got an interesting answer out of Yugi. He understood what she said, at least enough that she was not alone by the time she reached climax. Her mouth was soon filled with seed as her own fingers stopped moving as she finally reached the flourish she'd been chasing. All was well, and she eventually managed to sit up with the mouth full of seed she'd come for and the still constant throbbing of his manhood which was strangely similar to the throbbing still taking place within her loins.

A brief moment would have the girl's tongue would hang from her mouth for just a moment while she showed the deposit made there. Overly pleased with herself after just a few seconds she closed her mouth and swallowed as she seemingly always would. "Waah!~ I don't think I'll ever really get tired of that~" she mused seemingly happily while licking previously occupied fingers clean. After all, if they were getting back to gaming she'd need the use of her hand again... maybe. Besides, she liked the way they tasted together which was not something she'd deny herself whenever she could have it. Besides all that, she managed to avert her eyes back to the screen and noticed she'd not died or taken injury in the interim. She was definitely winning. She got the snack, she played the game, and she had Yugi. She couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome if she tried.

[Bloodedge]

Unsurprisingly, Yugi's breath had become somewhat labored. He relaxed further into the bed, never falling onto his back. Alas, his erection hadn't relaxed at all. Gameplay? Right, things were still fine on that front. They each seemed to have amassed a decent number of things, but there were other areas to explore and recipes to unlock. There was no time like the present, right? Well... probably. A shift of his gaze allowed Yugi to watch Kimiko licking clean fingers coated by her own fluids. More interesting still was the claim that she'd never get tired of 'that'. "Uh... huh. Humor me; what do you mean by 'that'?" Yugi wondered.

His character was moving, but he wasn't watching very intently. Actually, he was only watching with enough focus to prevent running into a wall... or at least most of them. His attention still couldn't be fully torn away from a girl who could freely speak such sultry things while tasting the reproductive fluids of herself and another in unison... all while wearing lacey undergarments alone. "So, I'm assuming from earlier that you've now got a random collection of condoms in the storage realm. What if I asked for one of those?" he questioned. Of course, he didn't expect the lass to say no, or anything of the sort. With that in mind, he pointed closer to the edge of the bed, toward her monitor. "From over there, though. Y'know, because... the location something is pulled from has an effect on its quality. Yeah. Like reaching to the bottom of a cooler for the coldest drinks. . ."

[Apollymi]

While Kimiko busied herself with the cleaning of her fingers, it seemed that Yugi wished to question what she meant at the end of her most recent utterance. 'That' as it was said, could have applied to many things, the taste of the pair of them combined in her mouth, the absolute feeling of power associated with causing the lad to lose control of himself, doing whatever she felt like in a moment. But at this point, there was only one real way to answer his inquiry and it was cheeky but sensible. "Dilk!~" she claimed happily enough. Of course, there were some very interesting extras to be associated with that, but it was the jist of the situation.

As for the rest, she soon enough finished up and managed to look pleasantly interested in the contents of her storage space. He apparently figured she had a collection of condoms and now wanted to acquire one... "The collection isn't random, after yesterday I made arrangements to have condoms in the right size added to my normal stocking purchases. It just so happens, that your definition of a 'door' when creating the vault was rather loose..." she explained. Still at the same time she sat down her controller briefly and began a rather distinct crawl towards the edge of the bed. Her rear was swaying in the air as a portal opened up between the edge of her bed and the floor and she aimed to reach in seeming to go along with his particular fantasy in this. "Of course, I'll get you one but from all the way up here. It might take a minute. Do you have any preferences... ribbed, lubricated, fire and ice?" she seemed to be going through quite the list of variety while swaying her hips upward in the air. She wasn't looking back at the lad, she was content enough to tease him from this angle and wonder if he was enjoying the show.

[Bloodedge]

Dilk. That was going to be a word that remained between them for all time, wasn't it? No complaints would come from Yugi. With Kimiko's usage of the word as her response, he found something intriguing, comical and quite a bit naughty. What better combination of things could there be? Primarily, he was astounded to hear such a claim in general. The idea that someone would actually enjoy the consumption of ejaculate was something worth being flabbergasted over, but he wasn't in disbelief. "That's such a weird thing to hear. It almost puts a wrench in my hentai-related expectations of life," he declared.

There seemed to be no limits to the amount of things Kimiko could randomly have sent her way. Something about the phrase 'normal stocking purchase' seemed a bit off─ especially when one suddenly added a collection of contraceptives to whatever the list already was. Ah, but the notable thing of strangeness here was not that... it was Yugi's definition of a door. "Well I wasn't gonna limit it to real, functional doors. What if you wound up stranded in a desert with all your clothes torn to hell, and nothing but a single pocket left? That pocket's a door now. You're welcome~" he stated. Maybe the tattered clothes thing was a bit beyond reasonable expectation, but he wouldn't be taking any blame for where his mind had been going then, and even now.

Speaking of doors, Yugi was presented an interesting view of one he'd continue itching to enter. Kimiko's rear rose as her upper body descended, and what a sight it was yet again. Yugi had nowhere near the amount of self-restraint that would be required to avoid leaning in, so forward he went. Ahead of him were two cheeks, and he gave himself a free hand to grasp each of them as they shifted about. In the meantime, Kimiko offered a selection of condoms. Oh. He'd almost forgotten about that in a single moment. Was 'none' an option? As his thumb hooked beneath those undergarments and kept them out of his way, he wondered how he managed to do anything but dive right in. "Uh... right. Dealer's choice?" he decided. Frankly, the options slipped his mind the moment they were spoken─ the same moment he realized an opportunity to make a... probably bad decision.

[Apollymi]

Kimiko's very simple answer seemed to spawn some amount of amusement in Yugi. That was good, she realized that without the filters she normally possessed she was liable to say anything in this young man's presence. This included admitting to liking something as random as swallowing his bodily fluids. Still he made the claim it was a weird thing to hear and that it almost put a wrench in his hentai-related expectations. "Well, hentai doesn't really prepare you for everything happening... that being said, nothing wrong with holding on to a few gems of expectation~" she mused. Strangely this was something she believed, hentai hadn't properly prepared her for the level of sexual experiences she'd garnered since meeting this lad. Just the same each time they delved into some new kind of activity she felt it was the best use of their time.

Speaking of, now, she had two hands upon her rear as she bent over the bed. She was reaching deeply into a drawer her hips swaying brought to an almost halt by the sudden addition of hands. All of this happened while she thought over his strange association with doors that weren't really doors. "That... is a very random train of thought. I mean, I am nothing but appreciative, because thinking of all the potential uses of such a thing is ridiculous but why exactly would I end up on a deserted island with only a single pocket? What would that be covering?" she questioned seemingly amused by the topic.

Beyond this point there was no real choice being made by Yugi. He left their variety of contraceptive in her hands as she reached into the portal for whatever one she wanted. All the while she could feel that string of cloth being moved out of the way and seemed utterly distracted. Maybe that was something to take advantage of? But right at the moment she chose a condom type and pulled it out. Which one? His and Hers, apparently with special lubricant applied to both inside and outside for the pleasure of both people involved. Worth giving a shot she supposed. She pulled it out and held it back towards him as the portal closed and she gave him a playful wink. "There have that~" she said as amused as ever. "And then me!~" That last sentence was punctuated by a tiny wiggle of her hips as if in anticipation for the moment to come.

[Bloodedge]

"Well yeah, I guess. I've got no clue what sort of thing to expect now though, so don't go blaming me if I say or do something completely off the wall," he quipped. Many uncertainties had been added to the lad's life, and he hadn't a single gripe about it. Though, he did now have a mental complaint that Kimiko had no reason to be stranded with clothes tattered enough to possess a single pocket and little else. He couldn't even count the reasons he'd pay money to see something like that, but alas, it was a statistical impossibility at this point. "Because reasons," was the only excuse he gave to legitimize the scenario. With that, he was off on an entire mental journey, visualizing events that would never reach reality.

Ah, but he had every reason to remain in reality instead of the dream world. A condom was offered and taken, though Yugi spent several moments arguing with himself over doing so. It wasn't a strange choice of contraceptive or anything, but... the light at the end of the tunnel was right in front of him. The lad managed to muster enough steel to eventually tear the condom wrapper with teeth, and begin slipping the rubber covering onto his tool. He seemed to do so with a small amount of haste, but it took that much to prevent abandoning it altogether. Those wiggling hips were then grabbed once more, and with no hesitation at all, Yugi's hips moved forward. He'd slide himself home within her core without fail, without so much as a second thought once that condom was equipped. Obviously, Kimiko had done quite a number on herself; entry was far from difficult. In fact, Yugi's forward momentum carried him to the limit before he even realized. Well... that was one more thing he couldn't complain about.

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, given his altered expectations in these kinds of moments, he might be the type to blurt out or do something weird... he was not to be blamed for this sort of behavior. Kimiko could do nothing but scoff, even as those hips of hers moved about in the air. "Please, you're definitely the only one to blame~" she chimed. As if, she'd ever allow him to shirk his responsibilities. Moving on from that point, there was the momentary lapse in thought about her apparent desert island trip with nothing but a pocket. And that one, had to get the most robust justification of all time. "Uh-huh..." was all she said. Yes, there were plenty of ways to poke at that, but it was obviously something he was very interested in, given his lack of continued speech.

Of course, there was more important poking to be done. She'd produced the condom but she hadn't looked back. It really was a shame, though she had no problem with their use of condoms, something told her that sex uninhibited would be well worth the potential risks. They were taking quite a few to start with, even just having sex and being teens. Perhaps it would have been better to forego the contraceptive? Maybe... it would be worth some thought, a couple of interesting scenarios came to mind, and maybe she'd play a few of them out. Yes, she was one pill out until safety... but there was a certain amount of fun involved with a lack of safety, no? Well, there wouldn't be much time to consider that aspect of their combine future pleasure... because there was the start of theirs. She figured their start was upon her, but how wrong she was. Yugi did not just enter her after donning the condom she'd given him. No. It would be more appropriate to say he slammed himself all the way to the end of her person. She could have sworn she felt the pressure of that entry all the way to her chest. In the interim it knocked her tongue out of her mouth and left her gasping for air in an almost hiccup. Ah, but that feeling was so nice her body couldn't help but clamp down on that gloved member as she reached climax from an entry so swift and unexpected. "Aa-aah!~" Just that noise, though she couldn't help the secondary wiggle of her hips against his as he found his home within her. Oh, what would that be like later. Would the added skin contact make it more pleasurable? She'd have to know eventually, but for now she could just enjoy this. The added lubrication provided by herself and the condom would make it all to easy for this lad to continue slamming himself home repeatedly within her. And for her part in this, she'd yet to pick up that mouse again just yet, though it was admittedly just out of reach anyways.

[Bloodedge]

That out-of-reach mouse wasn't going to remain so distant for very long. That first thrust had been a breath of fresh air for Yugi. Despite their very recent bout in the spa room, he approached this moment with the vigor of one who'd gone without for months. A single thrust was all it took for his thoughts about that condom to disappear. Something about the pleasantry of penetration, regardless of the extra layer between flesh, cleared his mind repeatedly. Ah, and any plans he had to recover his train of thought was almost literally squeezed out of him by Kimiko's loins during entry. Was that what he thought it was? It certainly seemed so. With the thought of success in mind, Yugi hazarded a cheeky smirk. "Already? Guess I'm winning," he proposed, one hand reaching out to collect his controller. From this angle, he had little issue seeing the screen as well as Ashikaga Kimiko's distracting form in unison. In fact, he'd likely be found with his controller against the small of her back rather soon.

What of Kimiko's distant mouse, though? Well, that wasn't such an issue. Yugi's first withdrawal was upon them, and in its aftermath was another thrust that also served the purpose of resituating. Of course, it would naturally serve the purpose of pushing forward enough for Kimiko to reach that mouse, should she possess the desire. Meanwhile though, Yugi would be clasping one of the lass' hips with his free hand, and his own hips would be pivoting at a rather gradual pace. "Eh? Need help reaching that?"

[Apollymi]

Something rather interesting happened soon after Yugi's entrance to Kimiko's body. The lad, seemed to gain confidence and cheek upon theorizing about the ending such a violent entrance caused the lass he'd plunged himself into with reckless abandon. He thought this made him a winner of some sort, and if she was being honest, Kimiko couldn't deny such a statement. "Look, if you go diving all the way in like that, of course I'm gonna cum. It isn't like I was ready for it or anything..." she said seemingly terse. "Not that I'm complaining of course, you can probably count it as a win on your part..." she mused.

Still there was Yugi's first withdrawal to come and when it did, he had another question to ask. Did she need help reaching that? What was that... it took a few seconds for her brain to remember she was playing a game, right, she needed her mouse at least the one hand to play properly. She could see from this angle, it wouldn't exactly be a problem or anything. It was just outside of her view but. "Hyuck!" a hiccup left the girl, she didn't climax this time, but she was rocked with just enough force to send her arms towards that mouse of hers. Her upper body lowered to the bed as her hips remained up. Ah, right she opened her hand as it was so near and took hold of that device. She turned her head so she could eye her screen and began moving once more with her character though she was admittedly distracted. "I guess I should thank you for the assist~" she mused still... those upward hips of hers would begin to move against his shaft, working towards another sexual release, but also trying to help him along. Those strange thoughts of the added sensation of no condom. Oh, her mind was already swirling how was she supposed to concentrate.

[Bloodedge]

"Well it's not like I'm supposed to know that's how it should work," was Yugi's rebut. He'd definitely be adding a hashmark to his win column after this moment. Actually, he'd add two. The fact that he'd knocked Kimiko forward enough to reach her mouse was worth claiming as a victory, right? Right! As for receiving thanks for the assist, he thought it more satisfying to hear that little utterance that came during. It may not have been the same as an orgasm during insertion, but it was pleasant enough on the ears to be counted just the same. "But you already did," he said, acknowledging the aforementioned sound as gratitude enough.

Now, they each had a method of playing in hand. How much gaming would actually be done? Time would tell. In Yugi's case, his character began to move just as his hips took proper action. While he plunged into Kimiko's undercarriage with something resembling a steady, casual pace, his character was interacting with an NPC offering... quite randomly, a fishing rod. "H'oh? Looks like there's a fishing event going on right now. Wanna get started, or grind out some levels?" he questioned, keeping up the repetitive motion of his hips. What an interesting round this was going to be. On Yugi's end, some effort would be required to produce any concrete results toward orgasm. Two were spent, and the third would not be easy. He thought to abuse knowledge of this fact, and it was highly likely he would over the next few minutes.

[Apollymi]

Oh? He was claiming a lack of understanding in the workings of her body. Fine. It was likely he'd come to understand it better than any other person on this planet or any other ever would. Such a violent entry after bringing herself to climax was about an assured way to make her knees buckle, and she'd never argue with such an execution after experiencing the shallow victory that was a climax brought about by her own hands. Even with just a few days worth of experience there was something uniquely satisfying about the difference in sensation between causing her own orgasm and letting someone else do so. She couldn't rightly explain what it was, but she was quite sure it could be seen as satisfaction in the depths of her soul. "Well, I'm sure you'll remember it from this point onwards~" she claimed, knowing full well this lad could take full advantage of such moments and she'd be perfectly fine with it.

Ah, and what was this? He apparently took her earlier almost hiccup as thanks instead of the words actually spoken. How strange. "Well if you are going to take thanks from that... I might not be inclined to offer them in any other way~" she teased. Oh, how strange their life could be, if she only thanked him in such moments in moans and noises instead of actual speech. Moving on, hands on mouse and eyes on screen she was finally able to bring focus to herself, though the starting up of true rhythm was something which would likely distract her infinitely. A finishing event? No. He said fishing didn't he? Woops. "Finishing... oops I mean fishing would work towards our food based goals. It's not like it would take much to level after we were done with that~" she finished seeming to slip over her own bit of misspeak. Maybe he wouldn't notice.

[Bloodedge]

Of all things spoken, one remained true without a doubt. Yugi's memory was selective at times, depending fully on his commitment to a train of thought. In this case, however, said commitment was well beyond 100%. "You're not wrong about that," he assured. Many future events would see Yugi aiming to cause the lass' climax before he thrusted even twice, and from the sound of things, there would be many successes in that endeavor.

Alas, there were far more interesting facts about their future together than that. For instance, Kimiko teased the idea of showing gratitude with noises the likes of which he recently heard. Though it seemed only a tease, it wasn't the first time he'd heard something along those lines from her. The last time, it wound up being nothing resembling a joke. "Y'know I'm inclined to believe you. Should I hold you to that?" he wondered, thinking it would be right inline with everything else thus far if that form of interaction changed between them as well. Still carrying on with the acquisition of an in-game fishing rod, his ears picked up a far more interesting utterance from Kimiko─ a slip-up, in fact. He'd spoken of fishing, and she retorted with... finishing? Well, there was only one way to take that. "Yeah, finishing is always relaxing too, isn't it? We've got plenty of time for finishing before we have to worry about anything else." Yugi's words were somewhat flirty, yet accompanied by a small amount of laughter. Up to this point, he'd been the more distracted of the two. Was now the time of vengeance? Maybe it was. . .

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, he wouldn't be forgetting about this particular thing. And Kimiko could only give an acknowledging chuckle. She knew the lad's memory only seemed to concern certain things, and she was more than happy to have her random sexual desires be on the top of his memory commitment list. "Hmphf!~" was the only initial audible noise she could manage given the current state of her undercarriage and the fact that it was taking literally all of her concentration to carry on with their gaming session.

Of course, there was a lot to be said about her divided concentration. It was would become obvious to all pretty soon, but apparently her vocalization about only thanking the lad in those sexual contexts with noises and the like was something he thought to question holding her to. A smirk breeched lips used most recently just to moan before she could try and come up with a good response. "If you want... there is hardly a reason to hold me to anything... given I do what I say," she said that tone of hers still teasing but it wasn't like she hadn't called him daddy while they were casually talking about food earlier. Regardless, she was content to carry on, but that verbal slip up of hers, about finishing was heard and acknowledged fully by Yugi which could only make her scoff. "I... had hoped you hadn't noticed that slip up, but...." she couldn't really help herself as her hips began flexing backward into his as well. Strange though it was she could easily do this and feel nothing but good about it. "It really is so relaxing~" she claimed. Whatever the case, Yugi appeared to be quite amused by Kimiko's distracted state and she could do nothing but share his happiness, strange as it was. Those flirty words of his were definitely interesting. "Hm... so finishing and fishing sounds like a plan!~" And with that she'd continue on. Fishing was easy enough, just a couple of button press prompts before reeling in the catch. Still even her first fish was taking quite a while given how close she was to reaching climax. Would she even catch one fish? Time would tell...

[Bloodedge]

Kimiko's retort was true; she did tend to do exactly as she said she would. The wording she chose, however, was something worth picking apart as desired. So, as Yugi shook his line to bait the first fish, he did just that. "Really? I thought it was a good idea to hold you to a lot of stuff. I really must be losing my touch," he quipped. A bit of sass was not uncommon from the likes of Yugi, but it seemed he was feeling a little more sassy than usual at this point.

Onto the little verbal accident suffered by Kimiko, there was no way Yugi would refrain from commenting. It was a thing that would be considered hilarious, if not watered down by a more prevalent conjunction of loins taking place. No matter; both fishing and finishing were on the list of things to do, as affirmed by Kimiko herself. Sadly, it seemed the former was something met with minor difficulty for the girl. Yugi thought to take advantage of the long catch. A flesh of his rod and a slight added rotation of his hips, and he'd see for himself how much he could manage to distract. If he caused her to fail a catch while succeeding in one of his own, he'd find it rather amusing. "Careful. Don't go letting it slip away; it might be a legendary catch~" he teased. In the meantime, it seemed his character was busy jerking a fish from the water.

[Apollymi]

Kimiko was in quite the predicament. Right at the moment she could feel a plethora of sensation but she as also trying to have a conversation and play a game at the same time. This was distracting, moreover there was the matter of her constantly moving thoughts. What about sex without a condom? What about that feeling of skin against her insides... it had to feel nice right? Oh... He was talking about holding her to things wasn't he, sassily at that. "I suppose it would depend on what you're holding me to, how long you're holding me to it... the nature of the hold~" she mused thinking of all the ways she could be held. Yes, they were simply talking about holding to her word, but the consequences and nature of the holding were the most important part. Her own response had been just as sassy but that was a defense mechanism against the distracting flood of her loins.

What was more, she was still enjoying the movements of his lad's hips as well as the movements of her own. She wasn't supposed to get too distracted she needed to be careful according to Yugi. A legendary catch... "What a tempting statement. I wouldn't want to miss a legendary catch~" she murmured. What was she talking about... a lot of things. What was she thinking? Too many things that were unrelated to gameplay for her to think straight. Those movements of her hips continued and she finally managed to keep that little indicator in the middle of the bar on her screen. It was almost done and so was she, almost. Her mind was playing tricks on her, surely that clutching of her nether would feel much better against flesh right? Well with the relief of actually catching that damnable fish she relaxed just a bit, the feeling of an orgasm washing over her like a great relief. "Aaah, yes!~"

[Bloodedge]

Something was to be said about Yugi's joke. It all depended on the nature of the hold, Kimiko said. Oh? Well, there were certainly many methods, many options. He could hold her against a wall, the bed─ any random structure, or even against himself. The timeframe was hardly worth delving into; it could never be anything short. As for the nature itself... "Is there really more than one type of hold worth talking about?" he wondered. A fish of uncommon quality fell into his inventory around that time. As his line was cast again, he made another decision related to their... more important activity of the time.

Tempting was the idea of a legendary catch, was it? Perhaps she had one. Whether she did or not, Yugi was soon to be on the rise. His controller pressed into the small of Kimiko's back while he switched from kneeling to squatting, legs opening unto either side of the lass' hips. His hips would piston henceforth for the sake of angling his member downwards, though maintaining most of the general in-and-out movement. Still, his pace was only gradual. It seemed gradual was working well enough, as another flourish had undoubtedly struck Kimiko in the moments leading to this change. Strangely though, only one of the two teens continued considering anything regarding condoms. As far as Yugi was concerned, the memory of even wearing one was long gone by now.

[Apollymi]

A question was presented to Kimiko. Was there really more than one type of hold worth discussing? "Right just now... no. But keep those options open, you might need them~" she teased. Yes, at present she was the one in the worse situation. It was her body falling all over itself. It was her mind, talking her into doing something risky and it was her gameplay utterly suffering because she could not concentrate. Even so, there was much to be said about luck and pluck in such situations. And if she had one... she could surely make up for the other on her own.

The legendary catch was indeed something that could keep her attention. Even as she finished around that sheathed manhood, she could not help but wonder infinitely over the possibility of this being way better for both of them. If she was to lose concentration, it was only fair if he lost just as much, right? Well, after a most relaxing finish and with the change in Yugi's position adding to her distraction, she finally pulled up that catch and it shined just a bit. An added sparkle that fish was a legendary catch. Something not identified until it was pulled up and with a different look to all the other fish in the water source they were using. "EEeh!~ Sugei!~" she moaned. Was that about the orgasm or this new catch. Well it was about something. "Lucky~ I guess the world is on my side today~" Welp that was about all she would say about that. Distraction was coming for her, on one of those backward pulls she edged forward just a bit. reaching back for the condom, she'd aim to remove it and if successfully timed on the forward thrust, Yugi would find himself buried within her, with nothing separating them. "I gotta test the limits~" she said. What a strange sentence, seemingly unrelated, but the gamble was already in place. She owed it to him to be a better host to his visit and he should give her something interesting as a result, right?

[Bloodedge]

Would Yugi be needing those options? Chances were, he'd need them at any random moment in the future. Saving some space in his memory bank wouldn't do any harm; he could log a few ideas away for whenever they became necessary. For now, he could be satisfied without any holding of any sort. Well, that wasn't quite true. In all technicality, he was the one being held by the ever-tightening undercarriage of Kimiko. That would be enough.

Ah, but it wasn't enough. It seemed Kimiko had planned some form of celebration for her legendary catch. How would she be doing that? Apparently, the answer was to scoot forward as Yugi drew back, freeing their loins of each other. Though that could have been ignored as a single matter of circumstance and/or misaligned movement between the pair, Kimiko made it blatantly clear that was not the case. "Oh, nice! It was actually legen─" Yugi's statement ended midway through. Why? Perhaps it was the sudden hand on his groin serving a purpose other than realignment. Yes, that was a thing more worth silence than anything in life thus far. He felt that rubber barrier slipping away in one clean motion, and in the midst of his forward thrust no less. That surely was no accident. "You just... Did you... Is this really something to test the limits of luck on?" The poor lad's mind was blown already. All forward momentum had come to a halt, leaving his member hanging just at the precipice of Kimiko's being. He could feel the heat of her loins, even the slightest caress of flesh almost penetrated. These thoughts plagued him minutes prior, but were they truly more than his own thoughts? Apparently so. He could lodge himself within the lass, unfiltered if he so pleased... but did either of them have the will to gamble like that? Well... yes. Still, Yugi wasn't exactly the one at risk in this case. "So like... really though?"

[Apollymi]

Whether Yugi needed those options now or not didn't matter. There were more pressing things on the horizon... like surprises. At this point in their endeavors, there was nothing ore satisfying to Ashikaga Kimiko than an action which obviously surprised Yugi. Here and now, that dislodging of their loins and the removal of that condom were likely the highest rated things she could have done to throw the man off his rhythm. Of course, she had no intention of allowing him to remain that way... still it was amusing to see the hiccup in his brain pattern. When those stumbling words finally settled it was a strange question which make Kimiko look over her shoulder and smirk at the lad. "I can think of nothing better to test my luck on... I ran the numbers and I've been confirmed lucky~" she teased gently flexing her hips but not quite pushing back for the entrance yet.

"That is a lot of potential we don't have to waste. I don't mind the gambit, we have to live some right Yugi?" she stated seeming to find nothing wrong with the sort of gamble she was taking. Some two days out of three on birth control it wasn't like she could be impregnated immediately. By the time it would be a problem she'd be back on schedule no harm no foul. But the danger of this situation and its added potency couldn't be let to go to waste. Kimiko was deviant enough to gamble herself and win. Here and now she would take the decision out of his hands if need be. "Yes, really... I could absolve you and do it myself~" she added with a wiggle of her hips. "Or would you rather do it, together?" she questioned. Either way this connection of body parts without the feeling of barrier between them was happening. She was going to sink back against his manhood and it would either be with him pushing back against or or with him just waiting. Either was acceptable to her. She didn't mind being more aggressive in this case, it was a nice feeling with this kind of power floating around them.

[Bloodedge]

Since when did luck and numbers coincide? Kimiko spoke of chance, but her figures came from something with a very separate set of numbers. She didn't mind gambling here, but what of the potential variables? "Well yeah. That's just... potentially a lot of living," Yugi said, not seeming entirely against the idea despite his somewhat contrary words. Gambling was something he stood to lose nothing from, so if Kimiko was willing to roll the proverbial dice, did he really have much say in the matter? He truly didn't, though in actuality... he almost did.

Without any input from Yugi, Kimiko would apparently take matters into her own hands. That couldn't be allowed, right? Surely there could be no issues, so long as he remained conscious of being unprotected. Yes, going about it together seemed like a rational idea with that minor limitation in mind. On the other hand... limitation didn't really present itself as Yugi's gaze shifted downward. Observing the curve of Kimiko's rear functioned as something akin to a tractor beam, seeming to draw him inward the longer he stared. It didn't matter whether she reversed or not; penetration was occurring. Oh. Whatever he expected of this, was very far from what he experienced. It should have been fine, not very different from previous experiences. Instead, it was something so all-encompassing that his advancement could be neither halted nor slowed from the moment penetration began. Shouldn't he have at least considered withdrawing? He certainly expected to, but it seemed forward was the only way to go. He murmured something incoherent during this time. Maybe it was a moan, maybe it was meant to be a word or sentence at some point. Whatever it was, it was some form of acknowledgment regarding this terrible, wonderful decision─

[Apollymi]

"That's why it's a gamble worth taking~" she replied. Yes, she was taking the risk of getting pregnant but given how she planned out her own life, having a kid early wouldn't actually be that much of a problem for her. That being said she wasn't actually trying to cramp her own lifestyle she was simply going for as much of the experience as she could get. She was a deviant, she wanted the full experience that she could get. She also wasn't particularly patient as an individual so she couldn't wait any longer to try it out. All the way until tomorrow morning? They could get into so many different things over the next 24 hours, she might as well fully enjoy herself here and now.

Interestingly enough, Yugi didn't seem to have much to protest here. It was actually completely true that he could have argued with her, and she might have even let it slide a bit. She could have been talked out of it for this round, but she definitely wouldn't have continued to be talked out of it long term. Even so, he began to move at a steady pace and she did as well. She'd help the lad lodge himself into her depths but the difference in texture between skin and condom was quite different. Truly she could feel every inch of skin dragging along her insides. Kimiko came to an easy conclusion in this moment, she hated condoms, aside from the potential deviant uses of condoms this experience had been multiplied a thousand times over. Well worth the minor/great risk she was now taking. "Ah, that's really good!~ I can't say I don't like that... Come on, Yugi... don't quit on me now~" she teased gently. If he couldn't bring himself to withdraw just yet, she'd go on to shift her own hips forward just a bit. Actually, she quite liked backing up into him like this. Her undercarriage was squeezing at the lad and she could feel his full girth as well.... this was truly what sex was meant to be. Of that she was certain~

[Bloodedge]

A wavelength was ridden by two minds in unison. It could immediately be said that condoms were the single greatest hindrance on the planet, crippling all enjoyment of life. Whatever person invented those things had some explaining to do─ namely as to why they were so against things feeling good. Yugi's mind would likely never function again. It wasn't up to par presently; he couldn't even think to move beyond what his body did instinctually.

Luckily for him, he didn't have to. While Yugi sat there pulsing away, trying to gather his bearings past the sensation of legitimate moist flesh enshrouding him, Kimiko did just as she said moments prior; she took all movement into her own hands. He wasn't quitting anything, but it was quite difficult to process the goings-on past a temporary mental overload. "Yeah, well I just uh..." The lad paused upon looking down again. There was something mesmerizing about watching the girl's backside move the way it was, seeing his uncovered rod be consumed and halfway spat out the next moment, and even seeing the folding and unfolding of petals around him as it occurred. So, how would that statement of his end with his mind so plagued by these thoughts? "Fuck," he muttered. "I'm gonna need a lifeline─"

[Apollymi]

This moment was one which amused someone like Kimiko to no end. Yugi, stumbling to make a sentence work with his obviously overloaded brain. Both of them experiencing some new form of elation in unison... their bodies being forced together and pulled back apart by the movements of her hips. There could be nothing better. It was obvious to her that there was an agreement that went down to the level of their souls, condoms were a curse from mankind. There was nothing they could have been more certain about. This feeling was something entirely new and though they'd fornicated several times before now... there was almost no comparison between the acts of earlier and this act now.

When he finally managed to say something there was a swear and the associated words which made her smile and her nether tighten around him just a little. "Oh? If it's a lifeline you need.. I might be able to give it, but what will I get in return?~" she questioned in a manner most teasing. She wasn't sure what had brought about this particular line of questioning but she'd all but forgotten they were doing anything else before this point. Those hands which had held a mouse were now wrapped up in her bedsheets as she moved her hips. Back and forth, repeatedly pushing the lad in and out of herself rubbing against her internal walls at a speed which was not too fast, but was instead very steady as if she was building to something quite good.

[Bloodedge]

As one could expect, another teasing offer for some sort of deal was always soon to come. Yugi had spoken of a lifeline mostly in jest. Kimiko, however, thought to use it as an exchange opportunity. She could offer one, presumably for fair trade... but what quantified as fair? More importantly, what was the offer? Yugi gave these things some legitimate consideration, if only to distract himself momentarily. Sadly, he managed a full thought only here and there. It was as if each movement of Kimiko's hips erased his train of thought. That could have been a matter of the visual, or it could have been the strange form of wet massage his groin received as a result. Well... it was most likely both in conjunction with a few other factors. . .

Whatever the case, Yugi remained silent for only a matter of moments. The lad eventually sifted through his brain enough to manage some cognizant thought, even as the controller in his hands slipped out onto the arch of Kimiko's back. He'd have a hand full of buttocks instead, bearing down on each side from above as if he were some animal preparing to knead its bed. "Guess that depends. What's the lifeline?" he wondered. It felt as if the train of thought leading him here had taken an eternity. Though he grasped the thought and managed speech in the end, he began to thrust in a pattern opposing Kimiko's movements, and the recent statement all but left his brain immediately. This would be an ordeal and a half, it seemed.

[Apollymi]

The legitimate consideration coming from Yugi was interesting. She wondered how he would take her teasing offering but it seemed to be taking him quite a while to come up with a proper answer. It made her wonder for a moment if the difference for him between his cloaked and uncloaked self was as stark as her own. Obviously, she'd previously allowed this young man the refuge of her mouth and the back of her throat but it was quite obvious that the comparisons between things was markedly different. Just as she could feel the grips of her insides better and something dangerously close to extra friction she doubted he could not feel something similar yet opposite of her own feelings. "Hm, well I was thinking to offer a shift to a position less dangerous. And of course I'll let you know how I am coming along..." she mentioned gently. "That being said, I wonder how different that will feel for you now~ I wouldn't want to be a bad hostess~" she said those words as she kept chasing that sensation.

The depths of her person tightened erractically, as those movements of her hips gained more precise angling. Down, down her chest went giving more of an arch to that back of hers. That controller that rested there would likely find itself tumbling out reach while, Yugi took up to hands full of her round bottom instead of their shared gaming experience. How strange these two had become even so the depth reached and the rubbing against a certain internal factor began the deepest descent yet for the pair. Kimiko had all but given up on gaming right at the moment. She could only truly think about the sensation clawing at her depths and how much she was already enjoying it. "I should say, I'm pretty close so I'll need that answer soon... lest you end up trapped~" she added for good measure, as if on cue her loins tightened just a tad, that encroaching climax was to be one for the ages.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi was given an answer to his curiosity, but not without more questions appearing in his head. What the lass offered was a position shift. What would this new position be? At the current rate of progression, would he even last long enough to justify the change? Considering how different various positions felt, would it be worthwhile to try anyway? It seemed having these questions was actually helping Yugi along with his mental recovery... but at what cost? None, actually. The more his brain functioned, the more he could distract himself for the sake of longevity.

Despite the benefits, it appeared he didn't have much time at all to consider things. Kimiko announced that he'd be trapped in this position if she got any closer to the proverbial edge. As if to drive the point home, she clenched around him and arched her back in what could only be described as... well, the most sinful thing he'd ever seen, weirdly. Smothered was the phallus of Aiba Yugi, his brain nearly suffering for the sake of it. What would the answer be? Desire took precedence here, so he decided to join Kimiko in gambling this day. His stamina had been more than halved by removing that condom─ that much, he could tell. Even so, surely there was a chance he could hold out until the next pose, right? Right! "Yeah, that sounds like a good plan," he said aloud. In spite of these words, Yugi made zero effort to change position. Instead, he made use of that strange squatting position of his by putting his legs to work. While Kimiko was busy squeezing the life out of him, he'd help along her progress by plunging into her depths with a bit more purpose, even firming his grasp to make sure she kept in place. "But don't cut your fun on my account~"

[Apollymi]

When given the option of switching positions, Yugi's brain went to work. This was both good and bad in its own ways. For the good part, Kimiko did always enjoy looking at this lad while he was deep in thought, and it was likely doing good to distract him. On the other hand, she was currently facing away from him, so she couldn't easily gain the look of his distraction. Only minor glimpses were possible not that she took issue with this. Soon enough a decision was reached and what a great one it was. The change in position was a good idea, but she shouldn't let that get in the way of her own fun. How very generous. "Hai!" she chimed seemingly with glee before another moan erupted from her lips. There was something so very good about this position, her hips up, her spine arched. The exact place he reached within her depths causing a gentle pulse within her loins which would not stop until she reached that blissful finish. She was pushed that way, slickening her insides and clamping down upon him with one of his forward strokes. She couldn't really help it, but she'd announce it just the same. "I'm cumming♥!~" That might be one of her own favorite utterances.

Whatever the case, as her body relaxed she'd easily slip around him soon after given they had the entirety of her gigantic bed to work with she thought delving into something a bit more classic might be worth while. They were already the super adventurous types... why shouldn't they have a little fun in bed? She'd roll herself onto her back and spread her legs wide initially both for his viewing pleasure and his eventual entry. She'd even do him the kindness of spreading those folds with one hand and letting him see the place he was meant to be. "I think this will work. Come on, Yugi, I'll even let you decide how you want my legs. As long as you end up here~" she said moving both her fore and middle finger for emphasis on the supposed home of his tool. And from her current position she could gauge his reactions, this would indeed be something to like even if, bed sex was far from exciting in general.

[Bloodedge]

Kimiko's supposed favorite utterance may have also been Yugi's favorite thing to hear. There were many options for his favorite phrase to hear from the lass, but that particular one stood out among even other top-rated selections. It served the purpose of informing him, and of something he'd become more than interested in over the past 24 hours or so alone; what could be better than that? Besides, it could essentially be considered the singing of his praises in a case like this, right? Of course!

In general, it seemed Kimiko very much supported his suggestion of her personal fun-seeking. It would have been pointless to put off her climax just because it drew nearer; she could always have another. In fact, that pulsing conclusion was sure to be followed by at least one other, as Kimiko took it upon herself to select the next position. Yugi watched as the girl shifted about, lowering onto her back with legs and petals spread. He was offered the chance to make a decision regarding those legs, as if there was a better option than what he could currently see. "Eh? Decide what now? How do you expect me to do that?" he wondered while scooting toward the lass, shaft in hand and a glint in his eye. Unabashed staring was beginning to become commonplace for the young man, odd as it was for him to realize. "It's not like I've got any improvements to make─" was a passing comment made as his hands reached the underside of Kimiko's spread legs. It would be far too easy to bury himself within her loins again. Of course, nothing would stop him from doing just that. Much to his surprise, what he found upon entry was an even snugger fit than he'd recently become accustomed to. . .

[Apollymi]

Kimiko was a rather inutative individual. Though she couldn't say she understood every nuance of personal interaction, she could say she knew and understood how to communicate with those she decided to. With Yugi on this very short list of individuals and him claiming she could be as much herself as she liked, why wouldn't she inform him of very moment of pleasure he took part in. It was definitely his praises she sung, and she was as deeply invested in him, as she planned to make him be to her... there was no other way to proceed. Instead, she'd find herself doing exactly what she wanted and this included the new positioning she took on.

Ever the apt partner she'd make sure to give him the opportunity to make some of the decisions but it seemed she'd gotten good enough at reading the lad that his unabashed staring and extra commentary were clearer than anything else. He liked to see what she was doing, he had no problem with the position she'd taken up and he said so in such an interesting way. A series of questions were posed aloud before the outright statement that he had no improvements to make. "Ara ara, you'll make a girl blush with that kind of talk~" she mused gently. True to her words that face of hers had already reddened considerably almost like she'd not just expected his agreement to the position she'd chosen. She did try to be fair most of the time, especially to him. With that he'd already begun scooting towards her, and on his tool and glint in his eye. Soon enough those same hands would meet her thighs and he'd easily bury himself inside her. Ah, but even she was surprised by the snug sensation caused by this new position. Her body so fresh from its previously release could barely contain the next one. Squeezing down on his member at the point of this entry while she took in the sight of his face and body. From this position she could more accurately observe him and since he was the focal point of all her attention it was something she could definitely enjoy. "Umphf, I think I just came a little..." she murmured. The newfound tightness, added visuals and opportunity for intimacy could not be overlooked. Another interesting position to add to the mix.

[Bloodedge]

Unnecessary. Everything happening in this room could be explained with a singular word, and that was it. They didn't need to be doing anything sexual, but here they were. They didn't need to abandon the game they came here to play, but abandon they did. They didn't need to disregard contraception for heightened sensation, but uncovered loins were presently intertwined. They didn't need to do any of these things, and yet... they needed to do all of these things and more.

Kimiko had the strangest things to say at times. She claimed he'd "make a girl blush" in future tense, while wearing the hue of blood in her face. Did she not know? From the looks of it, that had to be something felt, right? "Heh? You mean that thing you're already doing? If that's not blushing already, I've got a lot more to say," he commented. Back in place between the girl's folds, Yugi nearly fell to pressure... in a literal sense. For a moment, he felt as if he'd started leaking out... or the apparent small orgasm of Kimiko was causing fluids to flow the other way through his tool. He couldn't tell which it may have been, but he couldn't bring himself to care very much which it was either. As such, the lad began thrusting his hips once again, carefully as ever. Balancing on a pair of thighs was oddly stable, and every thrust that caused the distribution of his weight seemed to cause greater friction. "I might have too. Maybe. I can't really be sure," was a thought he decided to share. If he'd already started expelling fluids of his own, there was little to be done about it now. Or, maybe there was? No place in Yugi's mind existed for consequences at this exact moment, so his hips continued to shift as if unconsciously.

[Apollymi]

Unnecessary? No. Obviously that wasn't the word to describe what was happening here. Sure, by Kimiko's own standards they could have just played their game, waited up late, and then prepared for tomorrow. But what would be the point of putting off for tomorrow, what could be enjoyed right here and now? She couldn't have answered that question if she tried. No she was far too busy being distracted by the sensation of her sex feeling the additive sensation of an uncloaked tool sliding in and out of it. Yeah, this was far too much for any two people to be doing but, it wasn't like she knew the true meaning of enough.

Speaking of, there was apparently some issue taken with something she'd said? Yugi's commentary could indeed make her blush and it was doing so. "I mean..." there was a pause. Kimiko's nether was enjoying this sensation a little too much. Removing the condom had allowed her to feel more of him and in turn he could even more easily than normal cause that convulsing sensation within her loins. "Don't let a blush stop you from saying more... and it's not like I can feel my face's temperature right now,' she mentioned as casually as possible. "I have a lot going on right now, Yugi~" she teased gently. Even though she was in a teasing mood, Kimiko knew that she wasn't the only one to enjoy and suffer this most recent bout of irresponsible teen life choices. In fact, upon meaning on his entry that she'd orgasmed a tiny bit, Yugi mentioned the same or rather said he couldn't tell if he did or didn't. Something about that statement caused her to tighten just a bit. That breeding kink on a steady path to its development of this she was certain. "Careful, Yugi~ I might get some weird ideas if you say things like that~" she mused gently. She could and would ruin both of their lives at some point but right now wasn't it. Instead she looked up into his face before her own eyes traveled down his body where he plunged into her. Oh this was very interesting, perhaps mirrors would come in handy later? She wondered how she looked to him? Red faced, eyes bright and little puffs of breath leaving her lungs with every stroke that pushed towards her end. A gentle tingle inside developed with every forward motion... this would do something amazing for her but what for Yugi.

[Bloodedge]

No matter what the pair did, it seemed there was never a lack of opening for conversation. Even as they explored one another in the most sinful manners known to either of them thus far, topics of discussion were left on the proverbial table. Here and now, they talked about... well, talking itself. It was apparently desirable for Yugi to speak his piece despite the alleged blush of Kimiko's face. According to the girl herself, she couldn't even feel it. Luckily for her, she didn't have to. One of Yugi's hands pulled away from Kimiko's thigh, reaching instead for her cheek. "Well I can," he declared in that moment. "It's almost as warm as..."

Yugi's clause was incomplete, but it would not remain unfinished forever. That hand upon Kimiko's cheek moved again shortly after its arrival, finding its place within her folds just above Yugi's point of entry. There, it rubbed away while those very petals continued to contort around his thrusts. "Here," he concluded. Now, there was another dangerous topic up for discussion. The apparent 'breeding kink' was something shared between the two, despite any desire or lack thereof to produce offspring. In Yugi's case, it functioned presently as a call of instinct. Something within would always and forever whisper in his ear, urging him to loose all seed within Kimiko's body. She might get weird ideas, she said. Were those ideas so weird after all? The general consensus of this very room would likely say... no, not at all. "Weird huh? I doubt it. Just know, depending on the idea, speaking it into the world might negatively influence an impressionable guy like me into bad decisions~" he stated. It was more than obvious what sort of 'weird' ideas Kimiko spoke of; they were likeminded enough for that to be clear without a single word spoken. In Yugi's case though, it was already hard enough to fight against instinct. All rational sections of his brain insisted that he retreat before making several mistakes, but it seemed his tool was in charge of the body's movement until further notice. Any outcomes to this scenario were quite possibly out of his full control. . .

[Apollymi]

Kimiko and Yugi were prone to having interesting conversations. Even in the middle of coitus such a conversation was taking place. According to the lad burying himself within her at a constant rate he could feel her face. He went on to exemplify by placing hand against her warm cheek. It felt slightly cooler than her face so perhaps it was hot, or maybe it was just the movement from that thigh upward which caused the cooling. Something was going to be said but it was left to linger. All the while a tingle spread from Kimiko's face down to her loins, and such a feeling was rewarded when the lad started rubbing away at her apex and comparing the temperature of her face to that of her loins. That moment was strangely intimate for the amount of deviance the normally spoke about and took part in, but it wasn't at all misplaced. In fact, that combination of sensations and words made her nether convulse, "Aah!~ That almost isn't fair, it's too good. But don't stop though~" Ah, yes a deviant mind was deviant, and Kimiko was never one to avoid letting Yugi know exactly what helped her reach her finish. In fact if he kept up the things he was doing she was sure she'd reach her end in just a few moments.

What else? Apparently whatever thought she had floating around in her head couldn't be too weird. Well, she was a seventeen year old with a breeding kink which was well on its way to actualizing. But she was only testing her luck this day, she had no conscious reason to throw it all out the window just because she wanted something... right. "Ah, well... I wouldn't want to do anything to taint an impressionable youth~" she mused cheekily. "Or maybe I would~" she teased gently. Regardless the pulses of her loins were only building moment by moment and that deep thumping feeling made the muscles of her stomach tighten up just a bit more. Ah, it was almost time for that rather glorious release she'd been feeling. "Yugi..." she said his name carefully as her own hands travelled up the sides of his body finding themselves capable of moving along his back. Perfectly manicured nails traced his flesh as she fought to keep her fluttering eyes open. "I'm so close~" she stated as that proverbial bucket filled moment by moment. She was almost there, her hips had begun shifting against him aiming for the heightened sensation that would lead to the most pleasurable explosion.

[Bloodedge]

"Not fair?" Yugi thought to question while rubbing away at the lass' sex, both inside and out. She had little room to talk of fairness while ensuring over time that he was drained of all fluid and ability to function. If they kept up this activity, he'd eventually pass out and be incapable of keeping whatever strange dinner arrangements they had─ damned be the idea of meeting a seamstress in a few short hours. "As if you get to say that. I should stop out of spite," he continued. Ah, but stopping anything was far from the forefront of Yugi's mind presently. That might actually become somewhat problematic. . .

Impressionable as Yugi was by his claim, Kimiko expressed a desire to leave him untainted... unless she did the opposite. With that sort of teasing, surely she couldn't speak ill of a rather invasive end result. That would be fine, right? It sounded as if that breeding kink was a thought they were both toying around with. Could either of them be so irresponsible, though? Well, he was almost doomed to such an eventuality by a single phrase from Kimiko. She was close, she said. How terrible. With that in mind, it would be rude of him to stop or slow the pace; this wasn't that sort of session. In not doing so, however, he was surely rushing himself along to something he couldn't pull back from. Yugi nearly scoffed as he kept up the pace, throbbing away as the nails gliding along the flesh of his back almost urged him to hasten. "Of course you are. Potential preemptive warning: it'll be your fault," he stated.

[Apollymi]

"Yes, it isn't fair for you to make a comparison like that~" she claimed slightly pouty as she discussed the nature of his teasing of her person in both the physical and metaphorical senses. Of course, even with such a thing to say, Kimiko didn't actually mind Yugi teasing her the way he did. In fact, she'd call it a mark of their closeness that he even managed to stir her in a way that made her react differently than the normal ways she did. Such words like the ones he would speak next would definitely cause her to scoff and chime-in on their extra conversations. "I do get to say that~ And stopping out of spite is a terrible tease... I've done nothing to deserve it~" she claimed and surely she believed it. She'd only tease him to a certain point, allowing him to tease her an equivalent amount seemed fair enough to her. What wasn't fair was the pulsing of her loins, and the heat she felt in her body.

That building pressure needed release and it found it as nails traced unmarred skin and hips shifted constantly to meet the pounding that Yugi offered. That seamstress was a point in the future that Kimiko currently didn't register. It was fine though, she'd set an alarm for that. According to Yugi after the tentative announcement of her closeness to the moment of blinding finish, something would be her fault? They were obviously both interested in the breeding type of kink but would that really make much of a difference? She thought it might but how irresponsible could two people be in a single day? "You can't start blaming me now, Yugi. Though depending on the outcome I'll gladly share the blame with you~" she mused. Ah, and there it was a shining shimmering moment, "I'm cumming!~" her nether tightened around its intruder as if trying to suck the lad further in. Those fingers tracing his back tightened just as much, as if she fully intended to hold and keep him there, would he finish in such away, would today be the day she experienced that for the first time as well. She should probably be more responsible than she was being, but that little voice in the back of her mind was all but silent, it was already such a nice feeling she couldn't truly demand he extricate himself from her person. It'd be fine, the odds of this going badly were astronomically low... she had mostly caught up on birth control and by the time it should be a problem she'd be fully caught up... it couldn't do any real damage right.

[Bloodedge]

The last thing Yugi anticipated was a debate of fairness regarding... essentially pillow talk. It was such a strange and random occurrence in the midst of fornication, he could hardly stop himself laughing at the thought. "Sure, sure. But it's true," he countered. Yugi was always a stickler for fairness in all aspects possible, but there remained a few instances like this─ moments in which he wouldn't give up his edge.

Speaking of edges, or rather edging, Yugi was in quite the predicament at present. Something big was on its way for both teens, and Kimiko would be to blame for the encroach on Yugi's end. Such would be the case whether she accepted it or not, simply because it was true. Even if he firmly wished to remove himself, too many factors told him to do no such thing. While speaking of shared blame, Kimiko clutched him with her own interior, forming an embrace akin to that of a long-unseen loved one. Inescapable as that grasp was already, her nails were beginning to dig into his back with more purpose. For just a moment, Yugi wondered if tonight was the night he became one of the legendary "scarred warriors" as he'd once heard them called. Regardless of that, there were more imperative things to consider─ primarily the fact that there was no further time to think of anything. Indeed, Yugi's body had already made the decision to drive forward until it no longer could. That damnable call of instinct took over without permission, though also without forbiddance. "Shit!" the lad exclaimed upon realizing this was no longer a matter of discussion. Instead, it was a fact that the product of his loins would spill, and Kimiko's body would become its new container. Well... she did speak as if it were an acceptable turn of events, and there was certainly no undoing the current deposit of baby batter he seemed to be 'accidentally' delivering with reckless abandon.

[Apollymi]

There was a two-way street of teasing conversation, a bit of give and take, so to speak. It just so happened that Kimiko and Yugi were both the teasing and floundering types and they were both content to do just that while talking. A sigh left the lass, "Well, you're not wrong but..." she couldn't even actually finish such a statement. There was only so much arguing that could be done while her body was being overloaded the way it was.

Yugi had entrenched himself into her loins and her own deviant brain had gone far beyond the gentle prodding of things like the desire to do anything but test the limits of their current positioning and experiencing the newness of this sort of climax. She should likely be worried that this was something she was choosing to do the first day of sex. She should likely be more concerned about the potential consequences, but what were consequences when you knew for a fact that you could get isekai'd at any possible moment? Nothing. That is what they were. What was something though was the utterance of a curse and then the spillage of Yugi's essence directly into her person. Oh... that was new. It was so suddenly warm, she couldn't help but have her body tighten more around him. Well, no use crying over spilled milk, especially when the spilling was something so outright enjoyable. Those red eyes of hers flickered for just a moment those cross like pupils making their appearance for just a moment before they disappeared. "Fuck yes, Daddy!♥~" Yes, definitely something noteworthy. She could be nothing but happy about the situation, risks and densitization be damned. Oh, she should let go of him right? Those nails in the last few seconds had dug in rather deeply, she might have broken a bit of skin. Those legs of hers and moved up a bit locking him in place as that spillage occurred. She did not initially seem like she wished to let him go. "That one is a definite yes from me~" she mentioned as she leaned up to peck his lips. She'd catch her breath there after relaxing just a tad. She could find nothing wrong with their current arrangement and she could do nothing but enjoy it. Even knowing that in a moment or two she'd need to get up for clean up, she could wait just a few moments before doing that.

[Bloodedge]

It was all a trap. Surely, something about this moment was premeditated. In one brilliant moment, Yugi became certain that he was now one of the mythical scarred warriors; the sensation of nails in his back suddenly felt a bit too woundlike for that to be untrue. There was another phenomenon worthy of note around that same time, and it was the strange shift in Kimiko's eyes. Seeing those odd cross-pattern pupils triggered a similar change in the eye of Yugi, just as fleeting albeit more like starbursts.

Whatever purpose these ocular shifts had was seemingly of no consequence. In fact, any consequences that existed at all during this moment would not be discovered for some time... apart from the more immediate repercussion of Yugi's ejaculation, which was apparently Kimiko locking him in place with her legs. Well... that made three things checked off the bucket list in this most recent session. He'd experienced sex unprotected, experienced the scars that served as a high-caliber trophy, and been physically kept from pulling out at the moment of utmost danger. These three simple things should never have occurred in unison. The fact that they did, meant only one thing: Yugi wasn't done just then. His vision blurred as his eyes rolled back slightly, and it seemed his expulsion quickly became something of a two-for-one deal. By the time Kimiko's lips found his, the lad was just barely regaining some sense of self. That was a yes, Kimiko claimed. He had to agree from his own perspective, but it seemed the words couldn't make it from brain to mouth. Something emerged as a mumble, but it was nigh-breathless and undoubtedly intelligible by then.

[Apollymi]

It seemed that the sensory overload of the moment wasn't meant for Kimiko alone. She felt the secondary deposit within her loins and shuddered pleasurably at the extra sensation. It was definitely one worth pursuing to some great extent later. Here and now, she was willing to sink into a moment of intimacy though it wouldn't get past her notice the lack of conversation which came from the lad atop her. Her own body's initial reaction to all that happened was something which would leave her mark on the lad she was with, in the most literal sense possible. "Ara ara~ I didn't lose you did I, Yugi?~" she teased gently as those lips she'd used against him so recently spoke against the side of his face in a manner most labored.

She knew not of the strange shift in her own pupils or anything like that. Instead she knew only of their closeness, the abandoned game and her rather sudden sense of satisfaction. Though there was a great deal of knowledge that they should be separating for a few moments at least, she'd only release him reluctantly as the grasp of her now relaxed legs loosened, she'd roll them slightly to the side so that they could both relax without issue. She'd also gently slide off his manhood knowing that she was going to get up, she decided not to put it off, only to roll off the bed and immediately be met by both wobbling knees and ankles. "Eh?! My legs are dead... what did you do to me?" she asked as if she wasn't the aggressor in this situation. "Did you want to come with or do you need a minute? I can bring you back a towel but I am definitely going to have a shower~" she mused as she headed off towards her en-suite bathroom.

[Bloodedge]

Was Yugi lost? Yes, it certainly seemed he was on some other plane of existence mentally, and in fact, he was for a moment. "Uh... maybe?" he replied as if not entirely sure himself. Yugi could definitely get his life together, even if it took a few minutes to do so. There would be a long road to recovery, he thought. Maybe that wouldn't be the case, but he felt as if it would be. "I might need a minute," he added.

Whatever time would pass before Yugi became somewhat normal again, Kimiko took it upon herself to see them separated. Yugi rolled onto his back at the end of this extrication, having lost all ability to function as a normal human for the time being. Oh? He wasn't the only one, as Kimiko's rise was accompanied by a lack of leg-related ability. Aghast by the accusations that followed, Yugi scoffed. "Nothing that wasn't your fault!" he insisted. As for whether he'd follow or accept a towel, Yugi offered a few seconds of earnest thought. He could manage his way out of bed by rolling until righting himself on the floor, so he did that─ albeit sluggishly. "Ugh. I can't ask you to bring me back something if I'm still able to move. If it's alright, I'll have a go at that shower too. I hate going to sleep gross."

[Apollymi]

Apparently, Kimiko had lost Yugi for just a bit. That was a comforting thing to note, well... perhaps comforting was the wrong word. To be honest, whenever she managed to frazzle Yugi in any way, she felt accomplished. And she felt that even now, as her knees shook. She took steps words the bathroom as Yugi managed to struggle into the upright position. "Oh just a minute? I suppose I should take my victories where they present themselves~" she claimed as if it was her intention to ruin the young man who'd finally struggled into a more movement oriented position.

What was this? She was being blamed in the moment for what had come of her legs. "Eh?! What happened to sharing blame here, Yugi?" she exclaimed playfully pouty. According to the young man himself, he'd have a shower as well, since he couldn't ask for a towel while he could still move. "I mean, it's hardly an inconvenience... but you are more than welcome to a shower~" she mused as she walked towards her bathroom. The lights came on when she entered showing a light white space trimmed in gilded silver. Lights were inlaid in the ceiling and the floors were heated like the ones in her spa room. What was more this was a rather extravagant layout. The room itself included an open steam shower, a couple of deep bathtubs and a wall lined with mirrors and sinks. Her toilet was hidden away in a small room complete with a small tv monitor on the wall across from it. A nicely upholstered couch sat across from the fireplace which had above it a large screen positioned for watching from any of the spaces. Fluffy white towels and bathrobes existed clean and fresh on the spaces and small drawers had all kinds of soaps and lotions available. Basically this bathroom looked like a hotel spa. Not with the hair stuff of the other one but well within what Kimiko would consider normal amenities. "Use anything you like... the toilet is behind this door, but me first~" she mused going into her 'little toilet' room to use it, it was roughly the size of another persons walk in closet, while the bathroom itself seemed to be about the size of a couple of people's bedrooms put together. She did and then emerged to see how Yugi was fairing with this new environment.

[Bloodedge]

As Yugi sluggishly made his way from the bed toward the bathroom, Kimiko offered some choice words. With a pout, she questioned an agreement regarding shared blame, and Yugi would be having none of that nonsense. His eyes closed, his nose turned up, and his forefinger extended upward to emphasize the coming point. "I never agreed to that," he said plainly. With that said, he offered a quick hmph before crossing the threshold into a... a...

Yugi was to use anything he liked within this room. Where was he to start, exactly? Based on all he saw, Yugi would assume nothing in this "bathroom" was meant to be touched by human hands. People actually put televisions in their bathrooms? With only a few looks around, he saw no less than two televisions, just as many bathtubs, and about five times as many ridiculous things overall. Six adults could live in this bathroom alone, probably. Oh, something was happening, right? Kimiko was headed to the toilet sealed off from the rest of the bathroom, leaving Yugi temporarily to take in this whole spectacle outside. By the time she emerged, he would still be standing there with a deadpan expression and a sigh that refused to pass his lips. "You know... I don't even know what I expected. Why did I think the bathroom would be something more normal after seeing a whole spa? That would've made too much sense─" he rambled.

[Apollymi]

Ah, her pouty words got her a rather potent reply. He'd never agreed. He even seemed to claim such a thing with a bit of smugness. "Just because you didn't agree to that specifically doesn't mean you didn't agree~" she claimed. What a roundabout thing to say. Even so, Kimiko didn't think she was wrong. Yugi had offered to take all blame for their actions in certain instances, given this, shared blame for even things she started was fair enough by her own ideations and definitely not excluded even by omission. Whatever the case... that wasn't important.

What was important, Yugi looking around this particular bathroom in awe. He would be a moment or two, she figured so she could do her business in peace. She emerged to find him... still standing in one place staring. Ah, she'd broken his brain again. Her personal bathroom was a bit over the top. "Oh? I think this is pretty normal. Most of the bathrooms in the house have this kind of décor," Kimiko explained. Besides all that she was washing hands in a sink which didn't require her to do anything other than put her hands beneath the faucet. All clean she began to move around the room preparing for that shower she wished to have. This involved putting her hair up atop her head so she could shower without wetting it. Once this was sone she headed for one of the floating shower heads and began fiddling with the temperature controls for a steam shower both of them could use at the same time. "You have a temperature preference? I usually go all hot but..." she gave a bit of pause as multiple shower heads began to pour water and steam from the floor up to her neck. There was another of these which could do the same for the lad, but she wouldn't want him to feel too out of sorts. "Soaps to the left, washing utensils to the right..." she mused seeming to go on with the process of showering without much extra thought.

[Bloodedge]

Of course Yugi was still standing there; nothing about this mansion made any sense. Everything he saw was what normal people would consider beyond overindulgent, but surely it costed only pocket change to the Ashikaga family. Still, it was a bit jarring to see. Yugi hadn't exactly grown up in poverty or anything. He'd become a teenager in what was likely the second, third or fourth-most ridiculous mansions currently in Japan. This one however, was undoubtedly ten times more luxurious than the runner-up... if not ten times more so than the next nine mansions combined. And to think, Kimiko had the nerve to say this bathroom was similar to most others in the mansion. "Is that supposed to make it better? That doesn't make it better," he stated.

Existential crisis about bathrooms aside, Yugi went about his business. While taking care of said business, he heard Kimiko mention temperature preferences for showers. Yugi himself was occupied with a toilet at the time, but... he had time to think. How much of the other world bled out into this one? There was something he'd yet to test, something he hadn't given any real consideration to until now. With that thing in mind, he didn't answer Kimiko immediately. No, it wasn't until he left the toilet and washed his hands that he even thought to address the matter. What seemed to be a double-sided shower was entered without so much as a word, and Yugi found himself sprayed by the same allegedly 'all hot' water Kimiko set for herself. "Huh," he mused, wholly unbothered by the temperature he felt. "I can't feel the heat. . ."

[Apollymi]

Was the lifestyle of the Ashikaga's overindulgent? Probably, but everyone within the household earned their own money, it wasn't like they didn't have it to spend. In Kimiko's case she'd gone out of her way to buy things she wanted, needed and had the ability to utilize. Her well designed bathroom space was one such thing. As she stood under the heat of the water, Yugi claimed that the other bathrooms in the house being like this didn't make it better. "Of course it does. When people stay in the other rooms, they all get a nice luxury bath..." she said as if making her house into a hotel basically made it perfectly acceptable for her to live the way she did. Then again, Kimiko was the sort of individual who didn't believe in sparing an expense when she could have something great.

Ah, but greatness came in many forms. And after using the toilet, Yugi joined her in the shower and while she was giving her body its first scrub the lad made the claim that he couldn't feel the temperature of the water. It was definitely hot, as hot as it could be. Kimiko was sure of this. Her own skin didn't hold the heat well in this moment but given their lives in the other world, it implied that Yugi even in his human form, was enough Akashi to be able to withstand almost scalding temperatures. "You can't feel the heat? That's impressive... another win for the game world to our world conversion," she said. "I wonder if we got other buffs..." she mentioned seeming to find it worth pondering. What other things could they do besides use their active powers? Were these showers pointless because the couldn't really get dirty? Did Yugi now just have a resting temperature? Was it possible they could slip and wake up as one of their avatars instead of themselves? That would make life exceedingly complicated for the pair.

[Bloodedge]

Well, that wasn't exactly the point. Having the same time of bathroom throughout the mansion made things more fair for others, sure, but Yugi spoke specifically about the ridiculous and unnecessary state of a bathroom in general. There was only so much of that point he'd ever be able to get across, though. Kimiko lived a ridiculous life without being such an outlandish individual; that alone kept his clause from being a complaint of any sort. He could leave it at that.

Yugi hadn't been expecting a random buff to heat tolerance due to a Dragonoid form he didn't even sign up for. Now that he had it though, he couldn't really complain. Washing dishes would never again be a matter of finding water hot enough to clean them effectively, but not hot enough to burn the flesh from his bones. Never again would he visit a foreign shower and have to figure out someone else's dial-turning to heat-production ratio. For presumably the rest of his life, he could just let loose maximum heat and feel no discomfort! "Dude, I think I just became a god," he mused triumphantly. Those other buffs to the pair based on their isekai adventure would be something well worth looking into. For now though, Yugi would focus on bathing. He made himself clean with a shower more complex than he should have been comfortable with, and by the time it was all done, he was sauntering about the girl's bedroom bare as the day he was born. "So, what now? I'm trying to ignore the fact that my dumb ass didn't bring any extra underpants. I can go without through seeing a seamstress I guess, but I don't know if I can trust you with my unfiltered junk while sleeping. Well... I'm not sure if I want to be capable of that trust either, but... you get the point."

[Apollymi]

Yugi was a god? Apparently resistance to warm temperatures was enough to make that declaration. "I feel like that is a pretty low mark for godhood. Though I won't deny the usefulness of that particular buff," Kimiko mused. Actually now that she was thinking about it. She had a very easy time drying off. Her hair didn't stay too wet nor did her body after she got out of the shower. Hm, perhaps there was actually some goodness to come of the world crossing they'd done so recently.

Whatever the case a full shower later and Kimiko was also standing in her bedroom dried off and naked. Of course, she could always get more clothes and fully planned to get herself into some lingerie or pajamas depending on how she felt. Of course, Yugi himself spoke of his lack of underpants. And what they would do about it. All the while Kimiko seemed to be staring at his manhood. He'd just mentioned not really trusting her around his man parts and he was likely right to feel that way. She likely looked a bit like a predator right just now as she began listing some options while never changing the point of her focus. "Well there are obviously some options..." she mentioned about Yugi's lack of undergarments. "I could make the extra connection back to your box and let you get some undies," she said that option was likely the most sensible. "Or I could... see if I can pull you some out. I mean I did have a bunch of stuff made for you... so there isn't any reason I don't have access to all that stuff, and it was just silk boxers and the like it shouldn't be world breaking~" she mused. Both options she listed technically had her using the vault he'd given her though to different purposes. There was also the super secret extra option, which was Kimiko sending a message for someone to buy some and leave them outside of her door. But she figured he wouldn't like that particular option, so she was keeping it on the back burner just in case. Maybe there was a way to soften the blow of it.

[Bloodedge]

Just as he'd spoken about his distrust of Kimiko with his unguarded manhood, he saw the proof in her face. Rather, the proof he saw was in her line of vision, which marked his tool as if it were the flag to signify a race's finish-line. As if he hadn't done enough with it already, Yugi's member decided to react to this brazen and possessive staring by twitching its way toward another rise. Was a look enough to do him in? No, it wasn't the look─ it was the purpose in that look. "Why do I feel like those options end in me needing another shower before we do anything later?" he wondered aloud.

Almost surprisingly, there were some legitimate options given. Kimiko could make a connection to his place of residence. That wouldn't suffice without them making a return, unless she'd already made the link when... oh right; she did have one. The other option given was to make use of things from the other world, as a decently-sized list of things had been made for him. If there was a chance of accidentally becoming one of his Avatars, he definitely didn't want to increase it by equipping Artifacts that would draw out one of the Avatars' powers. "Hmm. I don't think it's a good time to trust magic clothing. Going into..." Yugi paused. The realistic option was to simply fetch a pair of undergarments from his drawers at home, but... he couldn't let her just randomly reach into those, lest she pull out an old dirty secret or five. Clearing his throat, Yugi decided his best course of action was to approach the bed... and flop onto it, fully nude and disregarding all consequences of his nakedness. "Y'know what? Fuck it; dicks out for Harambe! If something weird happens, I'll enjoy it now and pretend I didn't enjoy it later!" he said in a huff, eyes closed throughout the speech.

[Apollymi]

That knowingly intimidating smirk of Kimiko's returned to her face. Still her eyes hadn't moved from his manhood. It seemed to almost be teasing her as it twitched itself towards erection. Did he want to sleep today? She could allow it, or she could make him stay awake all night and into tomorrow. No. That would be unfair, he'd likely end up in an unnecessary job interview tomorrow. "I mean it wouldn't be so bad as that, but you teasing me like you are isn't helping your chances here~" she claimed with not an ounce of shame in her soul.

Of course with options actually listed he had some pretty sensible reasoning against her going into her Vault to retrieve him items. And a strangely dodgy bit about not getting clothes. In the end, the still naked teen boy flopped onto her bed and still she watched. Kimiko had no problem with his nudity nor did she mind sharing her bed as such. "Oh? That other one sounded like you're trying to hide your homework folder~" she teased just a bit. With none of her given options taken and the lad apparently pleased enough just to sleep naked in her bed, Kimiko walked over to her own bedside and picked up her phone before flopping onto her oversized mattress. She began placing an order for their wake hours of 8 am around 3 hours from this particular moment. She placed her breakfast coffee order and asked the lad of question. "Do you want a breakfast drink at wake up? You know coffee, tea, head, bottled water?" she asked. Ah there was a word slipped in there that wasn't at all related to his morning drink but rather her own. But that didn't really matter. She'd leave it there just in case. And also include an order for a pack of each medium, large, and x-large boxers and boxer briefs in silk she'd just let him choose his favorites and have them delivered with morning drinks and breakfast.

[Bloodedge]

"... Eh?" Teasing? At what point had Yugi done anything teasing? Was she really trying to throw blame on his returning erection, which was entirely her fault? That didn't make sense! Of course, he was quite sure it was totally beyond him to reject any sexual endeavor presented at this point. Still, his natural reaction to this amount of scrutiny couldn't be blamed at all!

Homework folder was a very peculiar way of addressing a specific group of files kept by teens enjoying their pornographic media. Yugi didn't personally have such a folder since living alone; his entire hard drive was littered with all sorts of hentai. What he meant to hide was something far more tangible than a few thousand images and videos. What he meant to hide was... a few things he should never have been in possession of, but had also never gotten rid of. "I guess you could say that," was about the most he'd admit. He wasn't aiming to keep a dark secret, per se, but it was a very troublesome matter to address.

Upon being joined in the oversized bed of Kimiko, Yugi was presented a question with another list of options. She asked about a breakfast drink of choice. Alright, that was normal. Coffee, tea, bottled water... wait... he'd skipped over one, hadn't he? "Eh?!" he shouted, those previously-closed eyes opening wide in an instant. "Wait, did you just say head?!" The lad was shocked. Surely he didn't mishear that, right? He couldn't have been that much of a degenerate... right?

[Apollymi]

Was his erection her fault? Probably? Did that matter? Not at all. Ashikaga Kimiko was many things but she wasn't one to take blame without taking something for herself. If anything there should probably be a few questions about why he chose to rise to the occasion when his tool was under her specific kind of scrutiny. Whatever the case she was happy to continue with her random view, until such a time as it moved. Regardless her quip about hiding homework was something Yugi agreed to though not in an exceedingly direct way. The way he made his claim, Kimiko figured he definitely had some kind of strange paraphernalia that he didn't want accidentally seen. So there were plenty of things he could be, snap shot voyeur, panty thief, random pillows someone sat on? Hm, she supposed none of those were particularly bad, perhaps she should be keeping better track of her own items, so she could figure it out. "Hai hai, keep your secrets~" she said with a gentle side eye.

She'd already decided to tease him, it was far from her natural inclinations to care what kind of things he was hiding. She'd find out eventually. Soon enough Yugi's eyes were opened as Kimiko listed some things he could have with his wake up in the morning and included the option of fellatio disguised among the regular options. It seemed for a moment he hadn't heard her, but then he reacted and she couldn't help but put on her most neutral smile. She looked up from her phone screen as if she hadn't really said anything strange. "Yes, I did say head. What's the matter? You didn't know you could have head with or instead of your drink at breakfast?" she asked with a devious grin spreading across her face. She couldn't help it, teasing Yugi like this was always a lot of fun. If he liked the shifting expressions on her face. She couldn't help but find his random excited behavior and honest body a different sort of amusing.

[Bloodedge]

She said he was to keep his secrets, but Yugi doubted that was the entire truth. She probably expected to know the whole story at some point. Whether she intended to discover the truth for herself or not was up to question, but again, it wasn't something he thought to keep hidden forever. Actually, if he could actually find the things he knew were floating around in that box or house somewhere, he may not still be in possession of them. His computer, on the other hand, was another story. Of the list Kimiko gave consideration to, Yugi checked two of three boxes. Somewhere in his box and original home, there were undergarments. Somewhere in the sea of files in his computer, there were photographs. None of those things were easy to address, so he shoved them off forever.

What he couldn't shove off, was the sudden mention of fellatio on a list of morning beverages. He definitely heard her properly. Why was that an option being presented as an alternative to breakfast drinks? Well... as a method of waking up, he'd probably rate it at the top of some imaginary list. Ah, the thought of it all was showing through his groin. Moving on. "I... well uhh... yeah I thought of that, but it's... just so early, y'know? But what kind of tea do you have?" the lad asked. At this point, he was just trying to get his mind off the one option that buzzed around in his head like an angry wasp.

[Apollymi]

Whenever Kimiko found out the information she was looking for, she'd be sure to pay it forward. Whatever random thing Yugi thought to collect or need, she'd provide for him... it was in her nature after all. Beyond that part of her nature, was her teasing and sexual discourse. It seemed her joking mention of fellatio as part of the morning routine was eventually accepted though not without a bit of softening on Yugi's part. He was going about making a few claims about how early it would be and asking for options all while she gazed absently upon the sudden rising of his manhood for the occasion.

"Oh yeah, I get it. We have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Oolong, Black Chai, Boba, Peppermint, Green, Blueberry..." she seemed content enough to list tea flavors all while her eyes were still on his manhood. She did need to know which things he wanted before she sent off the particular message to get him both underpants and the breakfast drinks they wanted. Of course, she would actually fellate him first thing in the morning and have a bit of 'dilk' with morning espresso, but that was only a matter of teasing at this point.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed Yugi would have some reprieve after all. Kimiko went on to list several tea options while Yugi closed his eyes again. His member had been absently twitching enough that he wasn't fully aware of its increased growth-rate, nor was he aware of Kimiko's return to staring at it. His focus was just about snatched by a particular tea mention. Boba tea had always been a point of obsession for a young Yugi. He hadn't drank any in quite some time, but if it was an option... he'd definitely be wanting that.

... Right? Yes, of course! Boba tea was a far more acceptable option than a blowjob first thing in the morning. How could he even think to ask for such a thing? Just because it was probably the greatest thing any man could ever feel, didn't mean he could just jump at some random offer to receive one upon waking. Besides, boba tea was... almost as good. Almost. So, as the list of teas continued, Yugi decided... "... You know what? I'll take head."

[Apollymi]

Her whole list was uttered and Yugi went back to relaxing. Of course he always seemed to want to avoid mentioning directly the strange desires that cropped up by her weird mentions. But Ashikaga Kimiko was a fair person, she wouldn't have offered anything she wasn't willing to give. She would definitely give the lad fellatio first thing in the morning she'd also get him tea or coffee or anything else he wanted. Ah, but he didn't know that she was still staring at his manhood in the middle distance. What would she say after his confession that he'd take the head she'd offered in the first place. "I knew your dirty self wanted some head~" she teased. "But you sure you don't want some Boba Tea or something, you seemed a bit hung up when that option came out~" she mused. He could have both, she'd indulge him in that way. Actually, Kimiko was known to be rather over indulgent herself so why wouldn't she spoil her favorite man as well?

If he confirmed wanting that drink, Kimiko would enter it in and turn on an alarm. Whenever they drifted off to sleep some five minutes after the alarm went off, a short knock at the door and some light shuffling would see sat at the door. The two drinks of choice and several packs of mens undergarments for Yugi to peruse.

[Bloodedge]

According to Kimiko, she knew he wanted the most outrageous offer on the list of morning treats. As Yugi believed, there was no man who would ever truly reject the idea alone. He simply found himself in what had become a very common predicament for him lately. Was it too much? Did it even count as a potential for 'too much' if it was offered, rather than requested? If Kimiko were asked, surely she would be one to answer toward the positive side. Alas, everything had been agreed upon so far. He supposed that upon waking, he'd enter a very interesting situation to perpetuate his rise. "Hard to say no, isn't it? I mean... it feels a bit selfish, but... I guess you offered, so it'd be rude to say no, right?" he offered as justification.

Still, a drink was presented as an option. Kimiko specifically mentioned Boba Tea, and that seemed to garner a reaction through Yugi's mobile eyebrows. "Boba's awesome. I can never say no to the stuff," he said before a yawn silenced any further speech. In a matter of moments, it appeared Yugi's consciousness would be fleeting.

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, it felt a bit selfish to make a request for fellating first thing in the morning. But Kimiko herself had offered so it would have been rude to turn her down. He used this very simplistic logic to justify his own mind working the way it did. Kimiko couldn't help but laugh a little as she heard him out. "Oh please, it hardly needs justification," she claimed. This much was true. If he woke up in the morning and decided he wanted her for breakfast she offer herself up on a silver platter. Hell if he actually wanted the platter she'd make that happen to, and bring him any fixings he'd like for it. But that was a conversation for another time. Here and now he claimed he always liked Boba tea and couldn't turn it down. "Black, matcha or fruit?" she asked of his Boba Tea preference. Whenever she was given that answer she'd sit her phone down after placing the order and roll further into bed. Once she was close, with Yugi's consciousness already fading, she'd easily find herself seeking warmth in his body and enjoying the power nap that would be their late night rest.

And then some three hours later there would be an alarm which sounded gently enough to wake Kimiko but she'd been expecting it. Rather easily after that she'd find herself thinking over her morning work. Had to get started on that wake up call. They had about five minutes before someone would be knocking on Kimiko's door to leave the lad some under clothing options as well as their breakfast drinks. Ah, but she didn't want to attack his manhood with morning breath, she started to get up and brush but, then she breathed into her own hand. Her breath smelled, faintly sweet and fresh like it'd been brushed within the last hour. "Best buffs, ever~" she proclaimed realizing at least one of her favorite cleanliness buffs had translated. So... she'd do the only thing she should do. Position herself lower against the body of Yugi and prepare to partake~

[Bloodedge]

It was no surprise that Kimiko rejected all justification for debauchery. Between the two of them recently, there'd been an understanding of deviance which Yugi made every attempt to accept. Alas, it continued to prove difficult. No matter how often he tried, there was an inherent disbelief in the reality of it all. Luckily for him, the lass was constantly confirming the realism, again and again. With all that passing, Kimiko listed a few flavor options for his tea of choice. Of the three, he favored one for a morning drink. "Matcha," he said before yawning again. "Matcha's best in the morning," he concluded.

And so, there was sleep. Roughly three hours later, an alarm sounded. Yugi was an individual very attached to his own alarms of choice, but the tune of Kimiko's was not one he subconsciously recognized as a sign of waking. He was neither a light sleeper, nor a heavy one, yet all the activity of the night had left him a bit winded. As such, the lad did not wake or even stir. He merely lay there breathing deeply, even as Kimiko began to move about.

[Apollymi]

Matcha for the mornings? That was something that Kimiko would remember forever. She'd sleep knowing that information and having a good idea of the kind of tea he'd be brought in the morning. But beyond that point there was sleeping and then waking.

Kimiko woke without fault and found herself capable of skipping a toothbrushing in favor of a more fun morning flavor. She settled in under the covers placing herself neatly between Yugi's legs and began a gentle exploration. Her tongue dragged the lines of his manhood as she aimed to stir it to rise if it wasn't there already. Once she'd done this enough to amuse herself, she'd close her mouth around it, swirling tongue and beginning the process of gobbling up his manhood from her place beneath the covers, nude and seemingly more than a bit hungry. On and on it would go as she aimed to swallow him down to his base. Within a moment or two, Yugi's manhood would find itself nestled against the back of Kimiko's throat. All the while she seemed to be enjoying what she was doing. This was probably turning into one of her favorite things to do. How long would it take him to wake? Would she receive her morning milk before he managed consciousness. Would he wake and be generally amazed by this sight? Her reddened face looked up his body where the cover laid just waiting to see his reaction.

[Bloodedge]

How long would it take Yugi to wake? Not very long at all, really. By the time Kimiko began her gentle exploration of his member, the lad was already throbbing against her tongue. Moments after she took him into her mouth, his body was beginning to shift and writhe. Yugi was grumbling while his hips followed a very reflexive pattern of almost bucking, seemingly in sequence with the throb of his tool. It was only a matter of time before he felt his own head being hugged by the girl's throat. If that wasn't enough for a wake-up call, nothing ever would be.

Slowly did Yugi's eyes open. In doing so, his blurred vision was soon focused on a face peeking out from beneath the sheets. Oh. He wasn't expecting this exchange to start before he gained consciousness. This was yet another moment that legends were made about. Yugi couldn't even bring himself to question this early fellating. He couldn't question anything, really. He could however, prop himself up on both elbows and be just as baffled ten seconds later as he'd been the moment of realization. "Uh. I. Um... Morning." Smooth as butter was the boy Aiba Yugi. He should be granted some kind of award for how easily he handled situations like this. . .

[Apollymi]

Yugi's stirring was a thing which could seem almost scripted. The throbbing of his tool occurring as she explored it with just her tongue. The unconscious bucking of his hips as she began to take him into the depths of her mouth and by the time he reached the back of her throat full consciousness. How cute. She'd not known what to expect of waking him up this way, but now that she'd done it, she was pretty happy about it. Now then the only remaining question would be, how very awkward would he be about his waking. Did he expect it to go this way, or did he think she would wait until drinks arrived? What would he have to say as he finally spoke for the first time this morning?

Well, at the very least, he'd made eye contact. There was nothing negative to be found there and she thought his face rather cute in the moment while she held him in her mouth. Only a time like this as he propped himself up on his elbows would she pull back a bit, but it was only so she could speak. And she'd do nothing less than flicker her tongue over his tip and along his shaft as she did exactly that. "Ohayou gozaimasu, Yugi!~ Sleep well?~" she chimed happily. And then she went back to what she was doing with increased vigor, her tongue swirling down to the base of him before he'd find himself fully swallowed again. After all, there was a certain time restraint Kimiko was trying to meet and she'd be having her 'dilk' before her coffee this day.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi was in a rather groggy state even as he propped himself up. He didn't even know those morning beverages had yet to appear, nor did he know what time it was upon waking. All he knew was, there was reason to stay in bed for awhile. Beyond that, Kimiko retreated just slightly when he rose. Doing so was an effort to free her mouth, at least enough to share her greeting of the morning. Did he sleep well? That was the question, wasn't it? At present, he couldn't even think of the past few hours.

Try as he might, there was no memory of how relaxed, or unrelaxed he'd been while unconscious. He could say how he felt here and now; that was about all. "Well... I think so? I woke up alright, if that counts for some─thing." Yugi's answer was just a bit... off. Just at the end, there was a jump both verbal and physical brought about by the sudden swallowing of his girth. "Nothing. Nothing happened just then. You're dreaming."

[Apollymi]

Yugi woke groggy and Kimiko understood that. Even so, it wouldn't stop her from pursuing her particular goal. He did eventually find some better words to use to express himself, giving light to the idea that he couldn't really remember what sleep was like but that he didn't have a problem with how he woke up. She imagined he wouldn't have any problem with how he woke up considering he was receiving a very interesting service at the time. Ah but he was trying to breeze by something. The end of that sentence with the swallowing of his girth at the same time seemed to cause the man a bit of mental strain. He then immediately tried to cover it like nothing had happened. Well... that wouldn't do at all would it.

Since it had been the throat based tingle which made the lad stop talking, Kimiko continued doing exactly that. She found that slightly disturbed speech pattern to be kind of funny. And such would continue moving the lad about between her mouth and throat. She'd swallow and pull back in rhythm seeming to be trying to elicit that sweet drink from his tip. Why? Because she wanted it, and because a release first thing in the morning was likely very good for someone like Yugi.

[Bloodedge]

It probably would have been easier for Yugi to move past that hiccup if he said nothing about it. After speaking however, he was subjected to a dreamy-yet-nightmarish form of torture. What was it? Well, it was the repetition of exactly what threw him off the first time. Kimiko's head moved continuously. Every return down his length landed him in her throat. Every time that happened, she swallowed again. The unending slickness applied to the whole of his shaft worked in unison with the repeated squeezing of his tip in her throat. She wanted a drink? She'd already be getting the trickle.

Ah, but Kimiko was not one to be satisfied by a mere sample of anything, was she? No, she was not. Whatever the case, she'd only have to continue utilizing the current technique for a short while longer to get exactly what she wanted. "Hngh. If you're trying to make this quick, keep doing that," he admitted. A few minutes seemed to be the maximum amount of time he'd take to reach his end with that amount of focus. He had already been reduced to a throbbing mess. A bit of continuity was fated to bring about a series of spurts while his hips bucked again, delivering unto Kimiko her apparent 'dilk' of the morning. At such a time, Yugi's upper body would be visibly tense for several seconds... before he fell back onto the bed again, huffing away.

[Apollymi]

A normal morning was people waking up and having breakfast. For Kimiko this morning, she was waking up and having Yugi for breakfast. To his credit he seemed to be capable of making some very straightforward utterances during her exploratoin of his shaft with her mouth and throat. And what was that, if she intended to end this quickly keep up her current actions? She wouldn't need to be told twice. She'd continue doing exactly as she had been doing. She watched as the muscles of his torso tightened. She felt the extra moisture initially leaking a bit down her throat and then rather happily was eventually given her fill. A series of spurts for her throat and mouth of her prized drink for the morning. She'd lean back from his manhood opening her mouth so he could see the whole of his recently packed load before she swallowed it without the slightest hint of shame. "Gochisosamadeshita~" Just a normal utterance before.

Knock, knock.

A sudden bit of knocking came to her door as her throat moved to swallow. Ah, right on time. A few seconds later and Kimiko was climbing out of her bed and casually strolling over to the other side of the room. Even completely naked she opened the door and pulled into it a few things that had been left outside of it. A crate of wine as a delivery from her father. A bag with various packs of men's underwear in silk and a drink carrier with one Large Matcha Boba Tea and straw as well as a large expresso flavored caramel macchiato, and a rolling tray with a small double set of breakfast on it. "Come on, Yugi. Morning prep." she said handing carrying over to the bed everything but the wine which she left by the door. Her own coffee in hand she held out his tea and gave him the bag. "I wasn't sure if you had hard preferences so I got a few different varieties. You can choose your favorites and I'll have the rest added to the inhouse emergency stash for workers..." she said about the underwear. Three sizes and two different cuts meant Kimiko had paid for six packs of underwear for a single individual to choose just one.

[Bloodedge]

Any time Yugi thought to question the debauchery occurring between them, Kimiko did something that silenced him immediately. In this case, she repeated an act of showing his seed splayed across her tongue. Yugi stared at the sight as if transfixed, and then... it was gone with a gulp. Something was wrong. That sight was such a disgusting, yet beautiful thing to behold. Shouldn't he have felt bad about that? He felt like he was meant to feel bad, but he simply couldn't. Each time he saw something like that, Yugi throbbed right back to firmness that he hadn't even fully lost yet. Apparently, Kimiko could easily keep him ready to go at all times of the day with very little effort.

Just then, there was a knock. Yugi sat up again while Kimiko moved her nude self to the door, retrieving from the other side breakfast, drinks and a bag of way too many undergarments. "Sankusu," Yugi said upon claiming the cup of tea. Once he opened the bag, he realized something great. He was quite sure his entire underwear drawer had less in it than this single bag. She spoke of preference and variety, only to have acquired enough undergarments to clothe a platoon. Sure they weren't all his size either, but that wasn't the point! "I've literally never cared what kind of underwear I have on. You could have like... not spent so much money, and just got whatever you wanted me to wear. Actually, if you're feeling picky at all, now's your one chance before I throw on whatever my hand touches first."

[Apollymi]

Kimiko was a great co-conspirator when it came to debauchery. In general she held the attitude that anything she did between herself and the person she was with, was for them alone to enjoy. She knew Yugi to be a great enjoyer of at least similar tastes and as such she had no problem showing off even her most devious methods when it came to him. Ah, yes, it seemed rather interesting that this was her method but she shamelessly showed him the deposits made on her tongue so that he could know how she felt about doing all that she did. It was cathartic in a strange way, and in her own mind nothing went to waste. This of course included the flow of blood to the lad's loins. She was quite sure she could keep him tied up and raring to go for an entire day if she really wanted to. Of course, she might do that some day, but today wasn't really that kind of day for her.

Ah, so now there was breakfast, tea, and undergarments. "Hai hai," she said in response to his thanks. Of course, she was more than a bit amused as she drank the first sips of her own coffee. It was soon enough, confessed by Yugi that he had no specific preference for undergarments. He claimed he didn't care and she could have spent less on whatever she specifically wanted to see him in. A smile crossed Kimiko's face in the moment, because she was just as free spirted as the lad with her. "I think I have a strange set of preferences. Because what I'd like to see you in would depend mostly on my mood at the time. I'm interested in just having a nice bulge to look at? Boxer Briefs. Do I want to be able to quick access it without having to remove anything? Boxers. Preference is mood related and I like either which is why I got both," she mused about her own personal preferences as far as the lad and the presentation of his package were concerned. "Just wear the ones that are actually the right size. Since we're going for a clothing fitting after this, boxer briefs. It'll help hide those random boners a bit better than boxers~" she mused as she passed along a plate. The breakfast was her usual fare. Rice, Miso, boiled veggies and a side of fruit.

[Bloodedge]

Strangeness was subjective. Yugi was led to believe that Kimiko had strange preferences about male undergarments, but what she went on to say was totally logical. Mood-based preference was a thing Yugi fully understood, as his own preference for many things shifted with the wind always. She carried on about boxers and boxer briefs. What he found strange was her mention of ocular application. "A bulge. To look at? That's the only weird thing I hear. I totally get the easy access thing. What do you even get from looking at it though? That's one of those great mystery things from not getting how the other gender's imagination works."

Regardless of their preference-related discussion, Yugi remained without an ounce of pickiness. He reached into that bag and removed a package of medium boxer briefs as well as a package of large boxers. Of the two he claimed, Yugi opened only the former. He'd go about donning a red pair before reaching out to claim a plate passed his way. It took only one look at said plate for him to pause completely. "... Is miso the only flavor you're allowed to have on a single plate? Don't tell me this is what you have for breakfast," he said, looking at the plate in his hand as if depressed by its very existence.

[Apollymi]

And now their conversation switched to one of a slight hint of perversion. Apparently, as a man it was hard to imagine how young women viewed men sexually. Kimiko could understand that to a certain extent. Aside from being into things like muscles, tattoos or facial hair it was probably a lot harder to imagine the appeal. "Well, at first it was all an imagination based thing. While being a virgin I had nothing real to work with. Now though it's a bit different now. Now I see it and it's all restrained, but I know what it feels like so I have an idea of sensation to go along with size and shape even without seeing the full details. So it builds anticipation... Bulges are hot, basically," she mused. As a girl half of what was interesting about the opposite gender was how they could potentially use those different bodies of theirs to get done a different sort of work. Regardless, Kimiko gave that rather frank explanation of how her imagination worked and moved on from it, like she would discussing the morning weather.

Ah, but that wouldn't be the only problem. It seemed that Yugi took issue with the form of breakfast which was perfectly normal to one like Ashikaga Kimiko. What did he have to say, was she allowed no other flavors. "I eat a few different breakfasts. This one is pretty normal but it's only in rotation twice a week or so, with some variation," Kimiko mused as if it didn't bother her at all. In actuality she'd gotten so used to her rather strict diet that it didn't much mean anything. Plus she got to look forward to other kinds of things periodically. They were like treats. "Why would you consider this another of those 'abuse' cases you claim I go through?" she asked in a teasing manner. She could almost sense the outburst on the horizon, but it would likely come with a new food experience so she wouldn't get in the way of it.

[Bloodedge]

And so, Yugi was given an explanation of the female perspective in observational perversion. He could always make sense of muscles, tattoos and all that jazz, but the thought of a groin bulge eluded him as something sensible. According to Kimiko however, it was a matter of knowing sensations and building anticipation. It still didn't fully make sense, but perhaps he was the strange one here. "Uh-huh. Right. Bulges, hot. Guess I'm doing more fluffing from now on," he mused. It probably would have been a good idea to get that information before putting himself in the situation of sporting a very obvious underpants bulge, but... there were more important things happening.

What could be more important than sexual topics of such nature? A delicious breakfast, which was not at all what the two were looking at now. Firstly, rice for breakfast was a sin. Vegetables for breakfast? Also a sin. Fruit? Fine. Miso as the only source of flavor? There wasn't even a word for that. "Whatever person thought this was a good idea... should be tried as a heretic and burned. Like really, human flesh would be more of a breakfast than this. You have to put up with this twice a week? And you think it's normal? Fuck," he rambled. Oh, but he wasn't nearly done yet. "And you're so fucking rich! You have all the ability to be eating a Shoichi Parfait for every breakfast, and you're eating worse than inmates! No. No, no... no! Show me to the kitchen right now! I know you have all the stuff necessary for a real breakfast You have to!"

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi after receiving her explanation he'd be doing more fluffing from this point forward. "That's fine, so long as you're fully prepared for the consequences of such an action~" she mused soon after. Kimiko was exactly the type of individual who would sexually harass her partner. Yugi had not shown himself to be capable of truly moving past any of her random advances, and she was more prone to making them when he was present. As such, he'd likely find himself receiving more pre-meal prep, as it were.

Speaking of meals, apparently there was a huge issue with the breakfast she had about twice a week. He claimed she could eat better things, and that she was too rich to be eating inmate food. She was fairly certain inmates didn't have Michelin chefs cooking their food. It was always tasty but as far as Kimiko knew, it was simply low fat as a diet. Strangely enough, Kimiko was never truly off put by the tangents of Yugi. His random anger and annoyance on her behalf was always interesting to see, and then it bubbled over. He wanted to be led to the kitchens. They had to have the foods to make something better he claimed. "Wow, that rant was one of the most intense. But it's not like I am going to turn down different food. You might want to put some pants on though..." she said before getting up. She walked in to her closet and returned wearing silk pajama shorts and a matching silk tank top, both of them black in color. "Come on, Yugi, we're going to the kitchen~" she said. She'd then take the plates and her coffee with her, her intention to leave the plates in the dumbwaiter and drink her coffee while Yugi, used her kitchen.

Well Kitchen was likely the wrong word. Some seven doors down in the opposite direction of the spa room, there was a large room with industrial style white subway tiles and dark wood cabinets. In the center there was an island with barstools sitting around it, but there were also a couple of industrial size refridgerators, and freezers as well as a pantry overstocked with fresh ingredients. Fruits, vegetables, and any other food that were currently in season were easily found. As well as preserves and spices. The kitchen was well stocked so that any random dish could be made from scratch and it included all the kitchen appliances and modern amenties anyone could need, as well as a dishwasher. "Here, kitchen... let's see this amazing breakfast~" she mused as she sat at the barstool and enjoyed her morning coffee.

[Bloodedge]

The consequences of Yugi's future 'fluffing' couldn't really be called consequences at all. No, that eventuality would be something he called... "Reward?" The thought left his mouth, half as a question, half as a correction to Kimiko's word choice. It was surely understood between them that he'd never shy away from even a direct assault by the Ashikaga heiress. Actually, that was a rather pleasant idea─ especially after dealing with a couple of her Avatars in the other world.

Well... moving right along. Yugi was one to rant about a great many things, and always something he took offense to. This plate of nonsense could not be called breakfast. He had to fix this problem, and he had to fix it immediately. Pants. Where were his pants? The lad was out of bed quickly, snatching up breeches that had either been thrown, or fallen several hours before. Still aghast by the goings-on, he didn't even think to don a shirt before following Kimiko to whatever ridiculous kitchen she'd show him.

Seven doors down on a high floor, Yugi was led to a room that couldn't possibly be the main kitchen... unless this entire wing was made to unreasonable specification. Alright, this had to be an extra, something of a personal kitchen for Kimiko and company. He figured it saw most of its uses in those random calls, or generally for her personal assistant/chef/chauffeur/whatever else he was. Whatever; it was exceedingly indulgent either way! Even so, Yugi stormed his way through the kitchen, boba tea in hand until it was placed on the nearest countertop. "Personal kitchen. Even more ridiculous. Not important!" He didn't even have it in him to rant about this. Yugi darted about until he stumbled into a pantry that held only baking goods. Ridiculous. Moving on. He would soon be seen approaching a stovetop, carrying with both arms a bag of flour, a bag of sugar, baking soda, and salt. Once that was all dropped, he went into a fridge to acquire buttermilk and... a box of five dozen eggs?! Ridiculous! Moving on!

Four eggs were set aside. He needed meat. The options in two fridges were none too pleasant for a simple breakfast, but there was another fridge halfway across the kitchen. Upon opening it, he found it fully-packed with only premium cuts of all meat. "A whole fridge for just meat?" he muttered while shuffling through to find a package of... artisan dry cured bacon? Absolutely ridiculous! Moving on!

[Apollymi]

"I suppose you could call it a reward," she said of the consequences of him fluffing his meat. Kimiko's naturally aggressive tendancies would likely leave this lad at her mercy more often than not, but this wasn't really an issue at all. He seemed to appreciate her when she was like this and she had no reason to be another other than satisfied that she could unleash herself upon him so to speak.

Moving on from this point, it became obvious as they walked to the kitchen that Yugi had a bone to pick with breakfast. As he moved around he wasn't nearly as awed and outraged as Kimiko expected. Perhaps this was because he had a great deal of focus as he moved around in general. He seemed to have an itemized list of complaints but she only heard a few of them aloud. Her having a personal kitchen was ridiculous... "Well I am not about to go to the main hall when I want a snack. Nor am I going to make someone on staff go that far... that'd be rude," she said seeming to have no problem with her kitchen. Moving on from that point he'd pulled out several sets of ingredients and put them on the counter and then he went looking for something else. when he finally got there he asked about the meat fridge which would probably give him the sort of reply that would leave him fuming under normal circumstances. "That's the dog's fridge," she said. Well it was just meat it wasn't like what was in there was literally processed dog food, her dogs and all of the ones on the premises were quite spoiled when it came to food. All the while Kimiko sipped her coffee and tried to understand what she was about to have for breakfast but couldn't put it together by the ingredient list alone.

[Bloodedge]

As outlandish as this additional kitchen was, the logic behind it made sense. Yugi supposed there would be enough people in the mansion to prevent a waste of food. Even if there would be waste, it wouldn't have been surprising to him if there was some sort of charity system going on in the building as well. It was strange to have such a wholesome thought in relation to the rich and wealthy. Most times, he would expect them to be the most wasteful of all... until he met and came to know this one. "Makes sense. Unexpected, but... makes sense," he mused.

The meat refrigerator he found wasn't a very bad idea at all. That is, it wasn't weird at all until Kimiko mentioned its purpose. Dog fridge. Artisan bacon in said dog fridge. Utterly ridiculous! He couldn't just move on from that! "Why the fuck do dogs need restaurant-quality bacon?! There's even filet mignon in here!" he shouted. The Ashikaga mansion's dogs ate better than any person he'd ever known, even his own overindulgent and government-embezzling father. No, not important! Moving the fuck on! Soon, Yugi was furiously mixing sugar, salt, flour and baking soda into a bowl, which he'd eventually pour buttermilk into. Placing that aside, he picked up a skillet that was... surprisingly used before this very moment. "Huh, really? I was expecting an immediate rotation of everything that ever gets used. This one's seen the fire a good few times," he said before slapping it on a stove eye and fishing out another. "So aside from everything about your life being way too much, you've got everything here for like... the ultimate normal breakfast. Mind doing me a favor? I need pepper and... do you have chili powder, or is this place ridiculous enough to pulverize raw chilis as needed?"

[Apollymi]

There was definitely a charity system in place and workers of Kimiko's personal floors were invited to use anything in the refrigerators that hadn't already been pegged for her personal usage. Everything about the Ashikaga household worked like a well oiled machine. And though Kimiko had been filthy rich her entire life, she had no desire to completely inconvenience those who worked for her. Apparently, this kind of logic was unexpected, but Yugi thought it made sense. This was an extra boost, making Kimiko feel better about her life decisions as Yugi seemed to look at the ethics of people way more than most.

She couldn't even say anything about that thought, so she just let it float in the air. Until of course the next major thing caught Yugi's eyes. The dog fridge seemed to be a point of tension. Restaurant quality meat being used for dogs was something he didn't expect. "I am a bit picky. Fresh minced meat is good for my favorite breeds so I give him a bit of variety. That's all." she said as if this was perfectly reasonable. She likely spoiled her dog, but he was her personal companion so why shouldn't he be indulged a bit? Yugi began furiously mixing things together and looking for a skillet upon finding one he commented upon it, which made Kimiko chuckle. "Kei is oddly specific about his cookware. Seasoned pans can be kept forever there is no need to get rid of a perfectly well-seasoned pan. It would be equivalent to cutting off an arm," she said seeming to be paraphrasing a statement held by her body guard. "When his cast iron skillet went missing I thought he was going to murder someone..." she mused thinking back to some earlier moments in one of her most dutiful employees.

Ah a favor for Yugi. "Of course I'll do you a favor~" she mused. She hopped off her barstool and went around the counter. She opened up one of the cabinets and grabbed a pepper mill, a salt grinder and a small mortar and pestle and placed them on the counter. "Pepper mill, sea salt grinder, mortar and pestle. Yes you will most definitely grind your own seasonings and no you cannot skip this step." said Kimiko definitely regurgitating something she'd heard before. "What kind of heat do you want on the chili? We have a few different kinds here and some of them you should use gloves to handle..." she questioned seeming to find this to be a completely reasonable thing to say.

[Bloodedge]

"So you give dry cured bacon to a dog? A dog?! This shit has to cost over 10k for a small pack!" he rambled. Yugi would then hear about Hoshimi Kei and his kitchen-related obsessions. Seasoned cookware was something he knew chefs considered important; it was good that such values were being respected in the richest kitchens of the world. "Well he's definitely not wrong. New stuff just doesn't cook like the stuff you already know, y'know?"

Yugi paused. It had been quite some time since he'd cooked anything while having a casual chat as they were doing presently. The young man had originally expanded his knowledge of cooking when caring for his sick sister. Eventually though, she could no longer be brought to the kitchen while he was cooking. How long had it been since those times? It was nothing to think about now. Now was a time to cook, and cook, he would.

Yugi had no issue with grinding salt and pepper for seasoning. He may have been a bit rusty on quantity when using fresher, more potent seasonings, but he could manage. "Alright. Tough kitchen. Don't blame me if your tongue falls off. I've been using shakers for ages now," he admitted. Moving on, Kimiko questioned the amount of heat desired for chilis. Yugi was honestly willing to skip the whole step, apart from the fact that he wouldn't be the only one consuming this dish. "Definitely nothing that needs gloves to handle. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't mean shit to me now regardless, but it's just breakfast. I just want to add a little kick, y'know? Like a basic cayenne or something." Yes, Yugi definitely had no use of a Carolina Reaper or anything like that. Though... he could probably make one hell of a social media following in modern times, if his newfound heat immunity translated to spicy foods as well. . .

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Yugi took issue with the type of food Kimiko fed her dog. "Well I don't eat bacon. It's against my diet so, he likes it and I got it for him..." she said about her dogs eating habits. Kimiko could be called nothing but fair. Regardless of the type of creature she was entertaining, if it showed a taste for something it would only receive the best of it. As for the seasoning of cookware, Kimiko could only agree with as much information as she knew. "I don't know that much about it. But kitchen based decisions like those are left up to him as he is my main chef," she claimed.

Just the same she found herself watching Yugi. He seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit and she made a few assumptions about how and why he learned to cook at all as a young man. His younger sister was confirmed to be the sickly type, he likely took it upon himself to include her in these sorts of activities. That was oddly wholesome, and somehow made him that much more attractive. It was really easy for men to lose track of important things. Moving on, apparently she wasn't to blame him if her tongue fell off, he called this kitchen tough. "According to Kei, one is supposed to taste everything to be certain. You could take that approach. There's tasting spoons beside you and you can just toss them into the sink afterwards..." she mentioned as if this was the most natural solution to his problem.

Moving on, he wanted a fairly mild pepper. Nothing to need gloves just a little kick. It was only breakfast he claimed. Alright. She plucked a cayenne pepped and placed it with the mortar and pestle. Everything he'd required of her was taken care of so she soon enough returned to her barstool and coffee. Watching this man move around the kitchen was quite interesting but then again, Kimiko could have watched him do just about anything.

[Bloodedge]

"..." What did she just say? Surely it was blasphemy of some sort. No sort of diet that didn't involve religious beliefs had the right to scratch bacon off the list! "I'm starting to hate your mother," he said. Once again, Yugi moved on. The first skillet was hot, so he threw four strips of that overpriced bacon into it right away. Eggs, he cracked into a small bowl and began to whisk. Kimiko drew attention to a set of spoons meant specifically for food-tasting, so he committed that to memory. "Starting to love-hate your servant guy," he said. That sort of talk was something he appreciated as one who would eat, though it was an annoying number of steps to take when cooking. Even so, he'd do as much simply because he wasn't cooking for himself alone.

Bacon was sizzling, and eggs were whisked. There was little else for Yugi to immediately do, apart from grinding an entire pepper just for seasoning. While one side of the bacon strips cooked, he began work on the pepper. Only then did Yugi realize he'd never thrown on a shirt. "Whoops," he blurted out. As he'd done with most things thus far, he moved on immediately. There was a pause taken amidst his pepper-grinding to flip the bacon. With that done, he was back to grinding and checking the second skillet's heat. "Good to go," he thought aloud. He'd soon be able to pour out that thick buttermilk mixture, but first, he poured the beaten eggs into the second skillet. Then, and only then would he pour six disks of that first mixture onto a flattop. Those could sit for a minute while he continued scraping the eggs from the skillet's edge toward its center.
