Masato nodded, turning to head to class.  As he departed, he glimpsed that American girl staring at him again.  Clearly a simple growl was not going to deter her curiosity.  He decided let it go for now, but he had a feeling that this girl -- Kane, he seemed to recall -- was going to prove difficult to shake.  He hoped it would not come to threats, but he believed it was simply better for girls to stay away from him.  If he had to be an ass-hole to make sure they did, then so be it.  They were safer that way.  He gave her a menacing glare and continued on his way to class.<br/><br/>"... Masato-Sempai!" one of the other freshman girls called out.  He paused mid-stride and grit his teeth, not even facing her.  A tiny part of him was impressed that someone actually knew his given name.  The rest of him was livid.<em>She's doing this on purpose, she has to be</em>, he thought to himself.  He could probably scare her off, but he figured it wouldn't do him any good to make a scene in front of the school.  Instead, he just stormed off, growling and causing students to veer out of his path.
