[[Bakura was well aware of his doppelganger's presence at the partner search as well, but was doing his best to pay him no mind.

That was until whomever the spirit had been aiming at ducked and Bakura suddenly found himself stumbling forward as the apple slammed into the back of his head with a thunk. His luck continued to hold as his foot hit an uneven patch of ground and he tumbled forward, landing flat on the ground, face just missing the dirt.

.... What was it about that Ring Spirit and always making his life difficult, even when he wasn't even trying to?]]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[Bakura took his sweet time dealing with the person that had dodged his little make-shift missile first before he finally sauntered over to his 'victim'.

Crouching down next to his host, he offered him the apple.]


Hmmm. Seems like you have a real talent for this. Apple?

[shiromadoushi]

I'll pass, thank you... [[sighs softly as he brushes off his jeans, not looking at his double. He's feeling rather embarrassed, to be honest, and not really looking forward to being made fun of for being hit]]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He shrugged, wiped the apple off on his sleeve and then took a bite out of it himself.]

Your loss. I assume that you're not really hurt.

[shiromadoushi]

Just my pride. [[a faint smile as he gets to his feet. Ug, more dust...]] Thankfully my hair cushioned the blow.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He stood up as well.]

Heh~! You've been always good at taking hits! [and in that head wasn't much that could be damaged or lost anyway. He holds his tongue because it would be even more pathetic to have a host who could get knocked out with an apple.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Makes a face at his double. Jerk.]] At attracting bullies, you mean...

[[Yes, he means you.]]

[feelsgoodinyou]

That too. [he admitted graciously.] That's why you're better off with me and the Ring.


Did you find a partner yet?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Double deflation! And Bakura's shoulders sag as his retort falls away. Stupid stupid Ring spirit....]]

Not yet... [[admits softly]] Sometimes I think it would be a lot easier if I were a Meister... then I could work with more of my friends... [[He could partner with Yuugi, or heck, even Ryuzaki...! It'd be so much easier...]]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He snorted at the idea.]

Only if you all want to ride with a hearse that badly. What would you even do if you got into a battle? You're no fighter at all.

[shiromadoushi]

I've been out in battles here before... Even if I'm not a fighter, I don't want to just sit around doing nothing...!

[feelsgoodinyou]

Having been in a battle doesn't mean the same as being ready to kill whenever it may be needed. No offense to you yadounushi, but neither of you vessels is any good at that.

[Of course it sounds as if he means it as a total offense.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[He's quiet a moment]]

But when it comes to protecting people we care about...

[[Both he and Yuugi had that in common as well. If a friend was in trouble... nothing would hold them back.]]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He scowls. He remembers those times all too well. He also knows that, looking at it from this point of view, Yuugi is better killer material than his own host.]

Tell me, what's the difference between protecting and fighting?

[shiromadoushi]

You do one for sake of the other...

[feelsgoodinyou]

No. That's a connection, host. I'm asking you for what makes it different!

[shiromadoushi]

[[hesitates a moment.]] Protecting is the goal while fighting is the means... They're not really the same at all.

[feelsgoodinyou]

Really. [He doesn't even try to hide the sarcasm in his voice.]


You lose ten points and have one more try before I demonstrate it to you.

[shiromadoushi]

I don't think like you do, there's no way for me to know what sort of answer you're looking for when you ask vague questions like that!

[feelsgoodinyou]

Well, that's another fail. Here! [With that he suddenly tosses his apple at Ryou's face again while his other hand reaches towards his pockets. Suddenly Bakura is holding a knife and moving as if to charge his host with it.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[The apple, he smacks away, only to stare, wide eyed as the spirit pulls out a knife. What--- what was he...?! He wouldn't....!


He stumbles back, entire posture tense as if ready to run. The hell was the spirit playing at?!]]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He barks out a crazy laugh.]

See?! That's what is the difference between just protecting and fighting! I can attack!!

[shiromadoushi]

What the heck is wrong with you?! That's not anything at all, you jerk!

[feelsgoodinyou]

Aw, it's not? [There is a lurking tone in his voice.]

[shiromadoushi]

If you're protecting someone you can attack. That's what going on on missions and everything like that is for! I'm doing that to protect everyone who can't!
