Shiyu had asked Leander to hand him Tsukiko's cards, so he could return it to her later. She was his tag partner after all, so it felt only just that he did her that little favor. But even as the blonde boy left, the white haired one remained. They stared at the deck of cards clutched inside of their hands with clenched teeth. Some of them were just straight-up mistreated! That girl didn't have any respect for them at all! Not only that, their individual cries... Each of those forty-five cards wailed a song of sadness. The boy couldn't help but stare sorrowfully at them. [color=c7c7c7][b]"This isn't right..."[/b][/color] they muttered absentmindedly. This continued on for a little while before they finally took action, scouting out the nearest exit and heading for it.

Shiyu had a feeling that the stairwell was the place to go, for some reason. But maybe that was the cards again, trying to tell him something. [color=c7c7c7][b]"Sheesh... You guys are more vocal than my own deck..."[/b][/color] they joked, letting out a rather forced laugh. Cards were like friends to the guy, and lifting up the mood was the job of any good friend. After a bit of walking, Tsukiko's frantic "[b][i]Leander, Where's Shiyu?[/i][/b]" echoed loud and clear it the narrow, vertical room. [color=c7c7c7][b]"I'm here, I'm here."[/b][/color] they replied from above, walking down a few more circular steps into sight. It seemed the meek girl from earlier and the blonde boy where there as well. [color=c7c7c7][b]"Oh. Hi guys... Err, Girls."[/b][/color] they nonchalantly waved, still holding Tsukiko's disk in the other hand. Speaking of which, as soon ad the guy stopped waving he gave that girl a glare that could crush souls.

[color=c7c7c7][b]"I'm returning something you forgot,"[/b][/color] Shiyu commented from above. His tone was absolutely frigid, unlike that pleasant one he spoke in during the duel. It was rather obvious the guy was doing everything else, except for enjoying himself. Eventually they came to stand face-to-face with Tsukiko, carefully holding their Duel Disk in one hand. [color=c7c7c7][b]"I can't believe it,"[/b][/color] Shiyu started to speak with a shaky voice. [color=c7c7c7][b]"I can't believe they'd let a horrible person like you in the academy."[/b][/color] he continued. Rage and fury were mixed inside of his voice, and the blue eye was squeezed into a tinier form due to the eyebrow pressing down on it. [color=c7c7c7][b]"The way you treat your cards... They don't trust you at all anymore. Not one bit. I can hear their voice... Their heart. A-And..."[/b][/color] the boy lectured on, but bit his lip at that last part. He looked like he was about to burst into tears, with that face of his... [color=c7c7c7][b]"...Just take them already! I can't stand listening to this any longer..."[/b][/color] he shouted in her face, with the hand holding the Duel Disk shaking heavily.[hr]The man standing outside of the Principal's office was polite to the Ray twins, even when questioning about why someone would bring the practice version of their weapon of choice with them. It didn't take too long for them to get called inside, greeted by a young and short nurse at the door. When they stepped inside they could see the luxurious sight of paintings, plants and the absolutely stunning [i]view[/i] just as others have before this point. Only, most of them had seen them because of less than stellar reasons. [color=#d79d58]"Welcome, welcome!"[/color] the old coot greeted from behind his mahogany desk whilst in the middle of putting away some documents. [color=#d79d58]"My, my, though... Aren't the lessons going on right now? You're not skipping class, are you?"[/color] he questioned them both, with the atmosphere suddenly becoming a lot more dark and cold.

But that lifted almost as soon as it came, with the old man letting out a hearty laugh. [color=#d79d58]"Well, no matter! You two must be here for a very important reason, I'm sure. Otherwise you'd never think of visiting the principal's office during class time. So, sit down!"[/color] they beckoned, gesturing to the two seats in front. Once Hayate and Hayato had taken a seat, the man had his nurse Jay dismissed for a little bit. He placed both elbows on the desk in front of him, gazing over the folded hand palms at the Ray twins. [color=#d79d58]"So, what brings you here?"[/color] the headmaster asked them, somewhat eagerly awaiting their response.
