He wasn't too sure which part of all this was more annoying: that somehow Mutou was at the center of this little universe; that each and every time through, someone had to remind him that this wasn't the real world; or that he felt more and more exhausted and rundown each loop. Somehow, he suspected it was the first one.
He also wasn't too fond of not waking up until he was on an entire island run by the Master of Tokyo -- or that Pegasus seemed a bit crazier than normal and didn't seem to remember the real world in the least. If it weren't for the fact that Mokuba always seemed to remember everything just fine, he'd wonder if it had something to do with them being vampires. If Mokuba remembered so easily, though, he'd have to discard that theory.
If Pegasus didn't stop talking about that damn Funny Bunny, however, he wasn't going to hold himself responsible for his actions, up to and including snapping the man's neck and just letting Tokyo get itself a new Master. No way was he going to take on another city.
On the balcony above them, there was a noise that sounded like a brief scuffle. He glanced up to see one of Pegasus's tigers -- Kajiki, he thought was the man's name -- lowering Ryou out of his line of sight amid some rather impressive growls from Kitten, not to mention Honda and Mazaki holding one of the Mutous back. From how angry the smaller man seemed, he was betting on the younger one.
"Good!" Pegasus declared a bit too loudly. Mazaki and Honda almost lost their grip on Yuugi; he was pretty sure those eyes were purple instead of red, but with normal human eyes, it was hard to tell at this distance. "Kaiba-boy," he turned one of the more annoyed looks in his considerable arsenal on the other Master, "guess who I've been talking to?"
He resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he redirected his full attention back onto Pegasus. "The damn rabbit?"
"No. Cynthia. Why would I be talking to the bunny?"
"Because you've been talking about the rabbit the past ten minutes," he returned.
"Don't you know a distraction when you see one?"
Okay, if the man's idea of distraction was waving a card around and yelling "Look at the Bunny, cute Bunny, fuzzy Bunny, Funny Bunny, look at the Bunny" until someone beat him or fell asleep, he would be forced to revise his opinions about Pegasus as the Master of Tokyo. If that was indeed the case, clearly no one had relieved him of the title because they all thought he was insane.
Apparently, Kitten's thought on the matter were similar, since the growling now seemed to be directed towards Pegasus. "The next time you decide to 'distract' someone, warn a leopard first unless you want Four-on-One here ripped apart."
Kajiki-or-whatever-his-name-was heaved a sigh. "That was how long ago now?"
"Not nearly long enough for me to be over it yet."
He smirked to himself; it was quite possible that he had remained friends with Kitten for the sole reason that the cat could hold a grudge forever like nobody's business.
The conversation was still going on above them when Pegasus continued to speak much more softly, "Cynthia has been keep both our cities running in our absence."
Great. He didn't want to have to think about owing her a favor. It would practically be like owing Pegasus one, and that was something he definitely did not want. "Offer her my thanks, if you will," he finally stated mildly.
Pegasus nodded. "She has said that Noa and Seth also managed to remain on the outside and that she is helping Noa with Domino. Older though Seth might be, she has found Noa to be more powerful. She also said that almost everyone that was pulled into this is being affected, almost as if they're wasting away," he paused, evidentially considering what he was going to say prior to saying it for once, "some more than others."
