Hayate nodded and simply raised her hand, [b]"I'll volunteer too!, also Shinrei if you say stuff like that Hayato will get angry you know! Hayato and I..."[/b] Shinrei looked at her with a confused expression on his face. He was about to say something when Hayato immediately interrupted Hayate before she could finish.  [b]"That's enough... I know what you are going to say... but please... Don't..."[/b] Hayato said to Hayate and walked away towards Shinrei [b]"Fool."[/b] He simply said. Shinrei dismissed the insult since he didn't want to listen to someone express their opinion of what they thought of him. Even though he felt that way, he still felt somewhere inside himself he could trust Hayato until he heard the rest of what he said. [b]"Why don't you smile for your sister, or do you want her to be like you... cold and heartless?"[/b] He added barely audible to anyone but Shinrei and walked back to his sister. The statement why don't you smile for your sister' hit Shinrei like a truck and remembering the incident in the past he had some nerve talking to him like that when he didn't understand a thing. When he was about to make his move Tsukiko blocked his way and told him to stop it. That she didn't want him make her choose between her and Hayato because she said she wouldn't. 

[b]"I will not choose between you and Hayato. Don't you dare try to make me do it either!"[/b] She said seriously toward Shinrei as she would continue to bar his path toward Hayato. The two respected each other she thought and there was absolutely no reason either of them needed to be fighting. Shinrei moved his sister aside standing in his position not budging as he held his hand up toward his sister to let him speak. It was that flashback again when his sister got hurt, it wouldn't go away. After that flashback was over then one with his mother few weeks before he made the World Circuit while she was in the hospital transpired. [b]"You don't understand a thing about me do you? If you did, you wouldn't have chose your words so poorly. How dare you say I have the right to smile after what I've put my sister through and putting my sister in a three month coma because of my reckless nature and you have the nerve to..."[/b] Tsukiko immediately jumped in and added to try to end the argument between the two. [b]"That's enough!"[/b] She screamed at him while it passed through her lungs and made quite an echo when it came out of voice carrying around the arena so almost everyone could hear it.

[b]"Just stop fighting, I can't take it anymore!"[/b] Tsukiko said as she was starting to lose her temper. She was not only upset with her brother, but Hayato should have been careful with the way he used his words toward his brother especially since quite a few people knew about the accident she had during a one of her brother's duels. It was all over the news and almost the entire world had heard that Shinrei's sister had been hospitalized because Shinrei summoned a really dangerous monster that put his previous opponent three months into a coma before the recovered. Strangely enough, they did not remember a thing about the incident or the duel with him. It wasn't that what Hayato said was wrong. It's just that it didn't help Shinrei deal with the mortal wound of causing harm to his sister which has traumatized him completely. 

They needed to get along because they were in class. For both of them to blow up like they did and show that much aggression toward each other showed how oppressed the two really were. It also tore a hole in Tsukiko's own heart when her friends and her brother just continuously argued aimlessly. She noticed that blonde haired person from earlier who was following her brother around was with them where she turned her attention away from the vulgar eyes of those two and decided to confront him and show him some dignity which her brother lacked.

Leander extended a hand to the two white-haired siblings, then said cheerfully, [b]"My name is Leander Xenovia! Nice to meet you two!"[/b] Tsukiko extended her hand even though her brother gave her one of those cold stare downs and shook it. She was happy to meet another person who that she hoped she could work with to get better. [b]"Pleasure to meet you, Leander Xenovia. I am Tsukiko Ikushirou."[/b] She paused for a moment as he wanted to shake her brother's hand, but she noticed her brother was still paying attention toward Hayato who really managed to rub him the wrong way. She returned his hand toward his side and then apologized on her brother's behalf, "[b]Forgive my brother, he's well preoccupied at the moment. I'm sure he thinks it's a pleasure to meet you too and I will speak on his behalf since he cannot."[/b]

[b]"Rule number TWO, BE RESPECTFUL! Those who are not open for others, and those who can not see any way besides their own, are doomed to fail and fall into a downwards spiral. If you truly have no business here, pack your things and leave."[/b] Shinrei had his turn to be chewed out, before another person got pointed at. This time, it was Maisy. Shinrei immediately turned his attention away from Hayato when he noticed the teacher was looking directly at him. Though he didn't want to acknowledge the teacher it was still the rules which he had to abide by since he was still remaining on a low profile. He knew that he said that because he did kind of just vent toward the teacher and the idea of Action Dueling without thinking carefully which wasn't something he ordinarily done unless something was really bothering him. He almost wanted to start a fistfight between him and Hayato, but he knew they'd both get the paper fan to the head by Tsukiko if he did something so stupid.

He wanted to say something toward the teacher, but he remained to keep his thoughts to himself. [i]I'm not here because I want to be. Certainly not, I'm here because I have to be. I made a promise that I intend to keep no matter. I will see it through until the end. As long as she's here, no one will lay a single finger on my sister. Not my father or those damn associates from the company I own now. I will crush anyone's attempt to try to take her away from me![/i] He remembered after that Hayato mentioned if he regretted entrusting Tsukiko's care to him and now he somewhat did. It was Hayato's careless speech toward him that made him have second thoughts about him. Though no matter how much he hated, the dye had been cast and it wasn't worth arguing to his sister about. He wanted to make her happy not miserable so he decided to forget about telling him to stay away from her.

Camryn couldn't help but giggle at that which caused Shinrei to deep sigh. When it came to him and his sister, she always won when it came down to finding out who would lose their temper the fastest. One stupid word is all you needed and that girl would whip out that fan and whack you straight over the head with it. Not only him, his father had become subject to her aggression as well for being stupid. Shinrei thought to himself as he brushed the thought of everyone seeing him get overpowered by sister out of his head. [i]Doesn't she have anything else to do with herself? I mean, yeah it might be funny to her. But wait until you suffer the wrath of that thing. You wouldn't be laughing then.[/i]

[b]"Duelists, locked in combat! Kicking the earth, they dance in the air alongside their monsters!"[/b] Nathaniel recited the chant with a starry look in his eyes. [b]"Isn't that just the coolest thing?"[/b] Shinrei turned his attention away from the teacher and noticed someone he hadn't seen today though he sighed, because judging by their words they were another over optimistic moron he didn't want anything to do with. Just by his words alone Shinrei knew his body was saying stay away from this person, because they were no different than that other kid he met Haas. Not even two days had passed and Shinrei had not seen anyone interesting aside from Hayato and that was by mere chance he thought. He still wanted to pass that feeling he had the other day when meeting him off, but with his sister there it was no longer an option.

Camryn tittered. [b]"Ah, c'mon guys, don't fight. Don't you know that we're all in this together?"[/b] She really hoped that reference wouldn't fly over their heads; it was a quality pun. [b]"All in this together like what? Hah friends!"[/b] Shinrei scoffed at thought of him being friends with Hayato. He never said he was friends with that person. He was only a useful asset toward him which he could utilize so he could keep an easier eye on his sister. [b]"One, I never recall requesting your help. Obviously, I do not need it either. Two, I don't know where you came from, but I don't need friends. Three, I achieved everything I've done on my own without these burdens you preach about. Four, why do you care so much about this triviality anyway?"[/b] Shinrei turned his gaze over toward Camryn which was icy cold and if you stared long enough you might freeze into your stance if you looked at wrong. Anyone that knew the guy, just knew how cold and heartless that many really was. His eyes were pretty much empty and emotionless. His face remained an arctic disaster which was frozen solid like a block of ice. Not even an ice pick could chip away that cold nature that surrounded his atmosphere. If people were smart they'd avoid making contact with someone like that, because intuition told them that someone of that nature never amounted toward anything that was good.

[b]"Camryn, disregard my brother."[/b] Tsukiko said as she approached her after her brother was again being that stubborn isolationist who just wanted to hide from everything.[b] "He's in a really bad mood today and has been through a lot. Really sorry you have to be burdened with his mean spirited nature he likes to display toward everyone."[/b] She paused for a moment putting her fan behind her back and the next time her brother wanted to talk like a jerk she would make her move. The teacher already told him [i]'be respectful'[/i] and he must have ignored every word that teacher said. She when she finally was close enough to Camryn nodded to greet her and introduce herself toward her, [b]"The name is Tsukiko Ikushirou. That jerk over there."[/b] She paused as she pointed her index finger in the direction of her brother who still looked pretty grumpy judging by the cold stares he was giving. [b]"That over there is my brother Shinrei Ikushirou. He's hard to handle and I know he doesn't seem friendly but he's a good person. He's just a little shut off from society. He's what you call an isolationist. Someone who has little involvement with other people."[/b]

She returned her hands toward her sides then spoke in Hayato's direction when she noticed him and her brother were done playing stare down, [b]"Would you just let me deal with my brother, Hayato? I appreciate the help but he's not as aggressive when I deal with him. And besides... we don't want to instigate an incident in here."[/b] She finished her statement as she finally decided to turn her attention away from Camryn and the two Ray twins including her brother back toward the teacher. Before she could get Camryn's name she had to go off and make sure her brother wasn't trying to be a jerk to everyone again. So she was off with her trusty fan in hand to make sure his actions were quarantined when he got out of control.

[b]"I'll do it if nobody else wants to, might as well try it."[/b] Angelo said smiling where Shinrei noticed it was that person from earlier who nearly got detention. [b]"I remember you."[/b] He said coldly as he turned his eyes toward the individual. He remembered full and well even though he was zoned out in his own world that he threw a paperball at teacher and she caught. That impressed Shinrei somewhat, not the mischief of Angelo but the fact the teacher had the eyes of a hawk. Kind of reminded him of one of the tricks he pulled off during one of his duels on the World Circuit. He might consider that teacher a valuable asset for what he wants to know, but he pushes that aside and decides time focus back on this person who did it. [b]"You're that juvenile from earlier. Delinquents always seem to shed their fur first when it comes to first days. I already know what kind of background you come from. You can continue on now."[/b] [i]Another one of those kind, huh?[/i] He questioned toward himself in his mind. [i]Seems those petty peons like to bring their problems onto the brass. How pathetic...[/i] He thought to himself somewhat amused by the thought. He wasn't entirely sure that this Angelo person was actually poor, but he did know that his nature reflect that after the stunt he pulled in class.

Shinrei turned his head and heard the sound [i]whack[/i]. Surely enough it was Tsukiko with her paper fan again following him around and straight over the head with it again which made him cringe.
