[[Clearly]]

Someone who's never nervous?

[ninjainviolet]

Not around women. Definitely.

[shiromadoushi]

Amazing....

[ninjainviolet]

You've never heard of anyone like that? They're usually called "gigolos".

[shiromadoushi]

Mmm... I guess Otogi-kun's like that... [[though to be honest he didn't know Otogi that well... And the fangirls hadn't followed him for as long as he would have liked...]]

[ninjainviolet]

Otogi? Is that friend of yours back home?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- a classmate, un. I really don't know him very well, he only recently transferred in...

[ninjainviolet]

But you already know he's a gigolo?

[shiromadoushi]

Otogi-kun showing up was the only break I got from the fanclub... He didn't seem to mind them hovering around him like that either.

[ninjainviolet]

The fanclub?

[Had he mentioned a fanclub to her? She can't remember.]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- Every school I transferred into, there were these girls who decided they would be my fanclub... [[Rubs the back of his neck a bit awkwardly]] I'm really glad that there hasn't been one here, they make things pretty difficult, sometimes!

[ninjainviolet]

[She thinks for a moment, her eyes lighting up when she realizes what he means.]

You mean girls that would hang around you and "guard" you from those they thought weren't worthy enough to get close to you?

[shiromadoushi]

Something a lot like that... [[He sighs, shoulders slumping]] It's really hard to make friends when a group of girls grabs your arms to haul you away from where you're getting to talk about things you like! [[He's almost pouting there]] And instead you get to listen to them just talk about nothing, or worse, deal with a group of them staring at you like you're an idol when you're trying to eat!

[[Almost every time the gang had gone out for burgers, he had wound up being hauled away to the next table over by the fanclub... half of them not even eating anything, just watching him adoringly... He found that far more creepy than any horror movie..!]]

[ninjainviolet]

Bakura, why didn't you just tell them to stop? [And why didn't anyone help him out?]

[shiromadoushi]

[[He couldn't help but make a bit of a face. Really, it it were that easy...]]

Sheena-san... You've met Ryuzaki-kun, right?

[[It was not as much of a non sequitur as it may have seemed]]

[ninjainviolet]

[It was to her.]

Uh, yeah, I have. Why?

[shiromadoushi]

Picture Ryuzaki-kun's personality and stubbornness in a girl. Then picture what happens when you try and tell her no...

[ninjainviolet]

You mean, they can act like me? [She's pretty stubborn herself, you know.]

I'd still tell her no, but LOUDLY.

[shiromadoushi]

You've never grabbed my arm and physically dragged me off not listening to any protest.... [[points out with slumped shoulders]] They don't listen...

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena has a feeling how he'll react to what she's about to do--considering what he just said--but she's going to do it anyway. Putting down her fork, she wraps an arm across his shoulders and being careful of his bad arm, hugs him.]

Then make them listen, Bakura. It looks to me like they're hurting you--maybe not physically--but that's what I see.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Startles just a touch at the half hug, not having expected it]]

Sheena-san... I can't even get Ryuzaki-kun to listen, and he's my friend...

[ninjainviolet]

[She's really going to have to start warning him or something when she does that.]

Well, Ryuzaki is a special case. Just smack him or something.

[shiromadoushi]

.... if I hit him every time he did something I didn't want him to I'd have a broken hand...

[ninjainviolet]

Then start carrying something with you. At least your hand won't break.

[shiromadoushi]

[[... yep. Sheena was scary in the same ways Anzu was sometimes]]

I'm not going to start beating up Ryuzaki-kun for being how he is, Sheena-san. I don't think it would help....
