...Okay, I'll try to put into words how I was imagining it as I was writing (because I always need some sort of mental justification.)
*snip lots of good reasoning*
Ah, poor Hinata. I could definitely see things going like that, since from what I've heard (not that it would likely make her feel any better) it's pretty normal to "settle" into a kind of life under circumstances like the above (and she's been with him long enough for that to be the case though I also presume running away isn't terribly feasible or would carry horrific consequences if she was caught). Unfortunately for her, Kabuto's poking at the one place that would do the most damage: I guess he was getting bored, eh?
>_> here it's less romance and more trying to drive the nice little Hyuuga girl mad and make her freak out - she's so cute when she does!
Hee, I was kidding on the romance part. :D Though I doubt he'd stay interested once he managed to drive her completely around the bend--unless he'd think that she'd be even cuter then...
(I think my Kabuto may be more of a bastard than yours.)
Ayup, looks like it. ;)
Not that my Kabuto has any qualms about torturing Hinata or mindfucking her either *eyes slide over slowly to still unfinished Muma chapter and the next several after it* but he doesn't want to break her utterly, because 1. for him, it would be too damn easy and crazy people have limited appeal for him--broken toys are useless and the games he plays with Hinata only work if she's sane--
2. he's surrounded by enough insanity--he can tell that Oro's sliding over the edge Sasuke, whut and it's only a matter of time before he comes apart completely, which does not make him happy--and he doesn't particularly want another lunatic on his hands (more work for him).
I will also say that the only part of the Kabumaru debacle that I didn't want to light on fire and throw out a 70-story window was the bit where (assuming that he wasn't lying through his teeth) Kabuto said how lonely and alienated he's always been. So there's that too.
But he's not lying when he tells her about the date, though. (It's more fun if it's true, I think he thinks.)
Honestly, I'm just surprised that he didn't give her the time down to the second. HE PROBABLY KNOWS IT TOO. ;)
