[feelsgoodinyou]

[He had decided that modern firearms were the way to go as soon as he had arrived in this world and found his magical powers blocked. Back when he had been alive Bakura had preferred to do his fights getting close and dirty, but considering what a stick the body he uses now is - yeah, not so much.

At least those things were dangerous and easy to use, he had seen them plenty of times when his host had watched tv.

Snatching one of the practice guns, he aims, pulls the trigger - and frowns as nothing happens. Then he pulls the trigger again.]

What the- Is the stupid thing broken?!

[Most tv shows didn't bother with things like showing how to check if the gun is loaded or how to remove the safety.]

[pishirogane]

[Naoto requires a double take. Well, Bakura is over there still practicing... so who's this? Still, he appeared to be having some difficult.]

You cannot just pick up and fire the guns here.

[They were sitting next to the training ammunition after all.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He gives her a short murderous look before he seems to catch himself and and tones it down to a wary kind of displeasure. He doesn't like it at all to have been seen embarrassing himself.]

How do you do it? [Stupid movies!]

[pishirogane]

[Wouldn't have been the first time if this Bakura was curious. Still, she just stands there still watching him coolly.]

First, you need to load it. [Naoto holds out a clip of training bullets]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He takes the offered clip and starts inspecting the gun for where it's supposed to go. It takes some fumbling and there's the distinctive sound of the safety being disabled before he finds the right part where the clip is supposed to go.

Shoving it roughly in, he gives her a questioning look.]

And now?

[pishirogane]

[Naoto caught that click. With the bullets loaded, Naoto gives him a nod]

Use the sight to aim at the targets and fire. [She'll correct him as he goes along]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He raises the gun again, holding it first with one hand before he adds the second to it for stability. He does not bother with any kind of protective safety equipment as he turns towards the targets once more and takes aim.

He stands casually but his arms are stretched put straight, almost aggressively so. Against his instincts he doesn't squeeze the trigger just yet and waits for her input instead.]

[pishirogane]

[Naoto inspects his posture. Points for stabilizing his hand already. It's really his choice to put on the earmuffs; outdoors with small guns like this isn't like a firing range inside or trying to use one of the heavier guns. A few adjustments and she steps back, giving him a nod]

Take your shot.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He nods and focuses on the target, ignoring the subtle throbbing of the wound on his left upper arm. Calm determination dominates his expression and posture. Then the sound of a shot rings through the ear and a small hole appears in the target mark, puncturing the outer upper right of the 'head'.

He had been aiming for the face.]

[pishirogane]

[That's decent for a first shot. Most people don't even hit the target really. Perhaps Naoto should measure the wind...]

Hm... try again.

[feelsgoodinyou]

Hmn. [He makes a displeased sound and raises the gun again, firing two times more. This time he aims for the chest region and smirks when the holes appear in the target's abdomen and ribs. Not quite where he had been aiming for, but deadly nonetheless.

Raising the gun for a third time, he suddenly hisses and sucks in his breath. His left hand is visibly shaking by now, which annoys him more than the pain that had shot through it every time the recoil had hit.]

[pishirogane]

[She nodded, observing still, but turned fully towards him when he hisses.]

Have you had that properly examined?

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He scowls, putting the hand with the gun down but not letting go of it.]

It's nothing. [Just a pretty big stab wound whose stitches have torn open again.] Tell me more about how to use firearms.

[pishirogane]

[She stares. Obviously, she's going to have to take him to get medical treatment soon]

... Very well. Where would you like to begin?

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He'll be nothing short of trying to murder her if she makes the mistake of scratching his pride. The great Bakura does NOT do petty weaknesses like this!]

The things that are the most important. I can always pick up on the rest on my own.

[pishirogane]

[Right, very scared. And when his arm stops working, not her fault if it has to be chopped off. Still going over there soon.]

Alright. We'll start with the gun's build and maintenance.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[/glares

He also has the same nasty scar as the other Bakura has on his left hand, running from the back of it to it's palm in a silent reminder of when it has been impaled. He moves to give her the gun, but then hesitates and draws his hand back. He'd rather keep the weapon.

But he will listen.]

[pishirogane]

[She... takes silent note of that. It's eerie; something bizarre to undoubtedly investigate later when there aren't any missions or murderers about.]

[Naoto begins going into lengthy detail about the gun he's holding, various models, understanding bullets and calibers, and details on maintenance and why it's important. It's a lecture that definitely kills time.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

He listens to her go on and on, zoning out from time to time as he keeps an eye on their surroundings. So far he has successfully managed to dodge his host but he knows that with them being both present at the shooting range he's pushing it.

Once she is done, he nods. Clicking the safety on, he moves to put the gun away by simply tucking it beneath his belt.]

They are more demanding than I thought.

[pishirogane]

Of course. Guns are dangerous to both the users and individuals that might be on the other end.

[Staring at Bakura.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

Funny, I thought that's the point of most weapons. [He can't help but taunt her for pointing out the obvious.] Being dangerous, that is.

[pishirogane]

Yes, but most weapons won't suddenly backfire on the wielder if they jam.

[In which case, knives and various other objects don't jam] Anyway, the guns here are mostly non-lethal.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[Well, that's a pity. He'd rather have them lethal.]

Most weapons can backfire on you badly if you are too stupid to control them properly. [Especially if dark magic is involved.] Why aren't they? Wouldn't it be more clever to teach people right away how to defend themselves?

[pishirogane]

[Yup, not here.]

Yes. Give inexperienced people guns with real bullets. A brilliant idea.

[Sarcasm is notable.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He shrugs his shoulders, a sadistic smile flashing over his face.]

It'd certainly show you quickly who is worth the bother of training them any more and who's just a dead waste of space. [Is he joking. Probably. ..not.]
