"Well I'm from the countryside actually. My family was in charge of a large farm their we grew produce and sold milk and all that. I worked just about everyday to make sure their was food on the table. One day a turbo duelist blew a tire near my house and I helped him he soon taught me all about turbo dueling and It was thanks to him that I wanted to be a turbo duelist. Soon I had to work even more to make my own duel runner and deck back home. I made it from scratch and although my parents didn't want me to be a duelist their was nothing they could say to make me change my mind. Then I ended up here that's pretty much my story in a nutshell." Angelo said with a smile thinking that it was odd his life story could be condensed into a few simple sentences. She now understood why her brother was so cautious of this person, but just because they weren't as well established as their family was no reason to just go and judge as a bunch of heathens. They certainly sounded more honorable than the man her father became, that was for sure. At least Angelo's father probably cared about her. He also had a mother that probably still gave him love and warmth which is a luxury Tsukiko didn't have anymore.
"At least you have a family, Angelo. You should be proud of that, because my family is damaged with our relationship in ashen ruin. Wealth doesn't always mean happiness especially if you're dealing with a bunch of corrupt people. Our family suffered gravely due to corruption within it. I'm sorry but I am not going into details about it. It's not anything you need to know." Tsukiko said as she closed her eyes once again to take a breath and relax her mind once again. Her past was still one big giant labyrinth that she didn't think she could navigate alone and it seemed like her brother had just given up on putting the pieces together so they could continue to try to escape it. Tsukiko's past gripped her tight sometimes feeling like it was the squeezing the life out of her. It was certainly no different from when a succubus gives their prey the kiss of death to steal their life away from them. But sometimes it hit her like a freight train when she least expected it, because of the fact she has a hard time recalling parts about her past.
The last time Tsukiko actually had a conversation like the one she was having with Angelo she recalled is when her mother was still alive. Not only did the death of their mother affect her brother, but it also greatly affected Tsukiko since both children saw their mother as a beacon of hope. Once they lost that light that helped their hearts glimmer through the dark mist that their family releases, they started to slowly fall into the pits of eternal darkness where only loneliness sufficed. Tsukiko's heart was as much in bondage as her brother's heart since they were both shackled down not allowing their emotions to be revealed. The mysterious nature of how Tsukiko conducted herself around people usually brought them many questions which they'd like to ask her. Many of those questions were though ones that Tsukiko chose to never answer, because she didn't feel comfortable talking about them.
Still she was unsure about Angelo's actions. The way he was acting she questioned though she knew that he was interested in another girl completely, but when it came to women he wasn't good with dealing with them. She noticed this when he threw random comments at her without trying to understand her. If he didn't know how to approach a girl then he had a long way before he could get anywhere with Ethel. Every girl had a different way to approach and you didn't want to approach them the same. She found what he said about himself interesting since he did have a nice life unlike her. He had a warm loving family and a place he could truly call home. At least his family wasn't a burden on him like her family was on her. Though she still questioned his logic about women since even though he was good at making speeches he was terrible at dealing with women. "Don't give me that look like I've been blessed with wealth! You don't know how sick I get of people staring at me with that jealousy, because they have no idea what I had to go through while living in this hell I call a family. Let's just say..." She paused a moment as she placed her index finger at her lip and pressed it gently against it as she thought about that thought for a second. The thought of how her family had enshrouded most of her life in darkness is what propelled to avoid most people in the first place just like her brother. "Wealth is not always a luxury."
Tsukiko again heard him say that he only cared about her once again and this time she had quite enough. She was so sick of hearing him say that she was about to puke if she heard it one more time. "ENOUGH!!! If I hear you say you only want to hear about me one more time I'm going to puke!" She paused for a moment as she stood up from her chair and almost was tempted whack him for being an insensitive jerk in her eyes. " What kind of fool do you take me for? You keep on saying you care about me? Do you honestly expect me to believe something so outrageous? You're a terrible actor, Angelo so drop the theatrics and the act. I'm tired of it already. Why? Because I don't think you actually mean those words and that aura around you doesn't fool me. Drop the act already, I'm tired of it. What is your actual motive for getting involved with me? I don't believe that it was just mere coincidence a random person just started to care about a girl's burden that eats her alive to the point where she can barely keep herself contained. I don't understand why you care so much. It's not your problem anyway. What do you care if some girl you don't know has personal problems that she won't talk about? It doesn't affect you one way or another." Again the look of suspicion returned to her face though her tone wasn't as cold as it was when he first met her. This girl wasn't easily fooled by someone who was just trying to be a player or trying to use her for their own personal benefit. If that was the truth then she would dismiss herself since she had no interest in helping him with this girl problem he was having with this other girl.
Personally, she didn't really care since it had nothing to do with her anyway. She was tired of him acting like he cared which was starting to really piss her off. She appreciated the alleviation from earlier, but now he was just trying to push his luck with her. Honestly, she had enough where she was just going to go back to her room. He pretty much killed her mood of wanting to go swim and enjoy herself by then. "You like another girl so please just stop. If you're trying to use me as an example then stop wasting my time. You inconsiderate jerk, I cannot believe you! Just trying to work your magic so you can impress your girlfriend. Unbelievable! You're the worst! I don't need you causing me anymore heartbreak than I've been dealt today. I don't give a damn about who it is either. Why should I? I hardly even know you and now you're just acting weird and making me feel uncomfortable. If you're done pretending to care then I'm leaving. Do yourself a favor and just leave me alone, okay? The last thing I need is some asshole like you ruining what life I have left to live for. People like you make me want to throw myself off the edge of despair falling into the darkness so I can be free." When she finished that statement toward him she took her hand forward almost slapping him then deciding he wasn't even worth that. With a very furious look on her face as gathered up her duel disk on the floor she then took her clothes into her hand as she walked over and pitched her empty soda can into the waste basket. She didn't even bother to say goodbye as she walked away in anger. Apparently, something in Angelo's words caused her to become very frustrated to the point she nearly tore his head off at the end of her statement. Hah, care about me? Don't make me laugh. I can see it on your face you don't give a damn about me. I'm not going to sit around and listen to some pretender who wants to try two weave miracles to impress his real girlfriend. Go find some other specimen for your experiment, jerk! This why I just can't stand boys. Always thinking about themselves and never try to understand or put themselves in the shoes of the other individual.
