Shinrei didn't need to stick around to hear the announcement of where they had assigned him. He had shown a few weeks earlier and had all his belongings during that time moved to his dorm aside from what they wouldn't allow him to bring. Tsukiko didn't mind being put in the Earth Dorm and she completely understood since she was very new to the game but to be severed from her brother did bother her a bit. She also knew that her brother probably felt the same way. Well, she knew she had work to do reorganizing her room so it fit her own theme so she bid her brother farewell as he saw her off and went to work with redecorating her entire room.

Shinrei grumbled for a moment when he learned that this Andre person who he personally did not like at all had been put near him. He shrugged off the thought knowing as long as this person stayed out of his way or never approached him that they would not have any problems. When it came to the kind who publicly announced themselves as anti-social, it is something Shinrei looked away from since he found those kind of people the kind that likes to trash those who they destroy for the need to satisfy their self-preservation of their state of mind a bunch of juveniles. He had dealt with people far worse than that individual and decided to cease thinking about him. [i]Putting that joke near me? How fate is such a cruel mistress to me. First my sister and now this... Punishment for my vulgarity, huh? No matter, I will just maintain my normality of isolating his existence from my mind. Besides, I have never let such egotistical self-reserved brats bother me in the past so I shouldn't let it do it to me now.[/i]

[b]"Heh, just like my sister, eh?"[/b] Shinrei mused to himself as he stared at the papercraft Hayate had made form him. He had thanked her earlier for giving it to him though he didn't know why she would want to give it to someone who was as cold as ice. He stood up from his seat in front of his computer monitor then walked over and put the papercraft with his entire collection of other memorabilia including figurines of machine and dragon type monsters which were centered around his two most prominent dueling trophies. His Duelist of the Year trophy was on the other side of his Nationals Trophy which was centered around a photo of him actually smiling for once with his sister and another pretty silver haired woman was in the photo which was his mother and off to her side a silver haired man. [b]"Mother..."[/b] Shinrei mumbled to himself as he ran his hand across the face of the photo casing. [b]"What would have you done..."[/b]

His memories of his mother were interrupted when he sensed someone at the door. He turned an eye toward the door and sighed because he knew who it was. He found it awkward he actually came after all. Such a strange person to actually care about his reasons. He walked over toward the door and opened it to notice Hayato was standing outside. He looked off to both sides using the door as a shield to prevent people from looking inside his dorm to see if anyone was about to walk by before he invited him in. He felt uncomfortable letting him in actual room since it contained everything that he had ever achieved in his life. From dueling trophies, to figurines, posters, plaques and even photos that he did not let most people see. The only other person who knew about this was his sister. [b]"Tell your sister thank you for the papercraft. Really never got the chance to thank her myself since I returned to check on something I had been working on. Anyway, I put it beside my two largest duel trophies."[/b] He paused pointing toward the two very largest duel trophies that were on desk toward one of the walls inside his room. The desk was further back making it hard for people to see it since it was away the view the door would have gave and off toward the far side of the room hiding it from plain view. 

[b]"You may touch anything in this room, but that book on that desk beside my computer is off-limits. Do not touch it at all."[/b] He said coldly as he immediately closed the door and walked over to take a seat. He hoped Hayato wouldn't ask him a lot about the photos he kept around especially of the silver haired woman who looked like his sister. There were rare posters of cards that he probably didn't know about. The one that stood out the most was the one of a dragon that was engulfed in darkness which was metallic. It was obvious Shinrei loved dragon and machine type monsters the most but he also had other figurines of spellcaster types like Dark Magician. There were even figurines of Blue Eyes White Dragon and even a Blue Eyes Shining Dragon card which was in a plaque on his wall. He had all cards put in plaques so they could not be used. He knew dueling rules and he followed them to the letter. You weren't allowed to use outside cards and that you also could not change a registered deck after it was registered before a duel. [b]"Before I go into what I'm about to tell you, the name is Shinrei Ikushirou. The reason you recognize me is due to the answer in this room. Suppose I better at least know your name before I go straight to the point of why I am here."[/b]

[b]"I can't believe this, these showers are terrible..."[/b] Tsukiko complained as she put on her fancy silk bathrobe she had lied out for herself on the bed. She didn't look particularly happy because her hair was a complete mess and thanks to the lack of hot water it was hard for her to even enjoy the shower. She had second thoughts about Earth Dorm lodging after she learned the showers pretty much sucked. [b]"Curse you bad lodging!"[/b] She screamed as she sent her fist into the wall punching a hole into it then hand over mouth as she said [i]'Oops'[/i] by surprise.

When she had finally finished fixing her hair she put on the pair of blue denim cutoff shorts she had laid out for herself and the orange t-shirt that she was going to wear. She also put on a pair of black leather fingerless gloves and her thigh highs. She then slipped on her sandals and stepped out of her room. Just as she locked the door and was going to head down to eat she didn't see Haas coming her way and accidentally bumped into him knocking her down on her butt.
