Shinrei was debriefed on the situation from Hayate though before he could even get a word in he had to cancel his transmission, because her brother Hayato had approached him. He wasn't entirely sure what Hayato wanted though he didn't have time to listen to his advances about how he wanted to harass him about dueling. Right now something was going on and he had to find out the nature of the situation and the current whereabouts of his sister. Hayato informed Shinrei that he had seen a silver haired girl outside who resembled his sister who was with a white haired young boy. He wasn't sure what to make of it since he didn't know anyone with white hair and Tsukiko had never told him that she had been getting involved with a white haired boy which pressed him for concern as the anxiety slowly built up inside his mind.

[b]"I think i saw your sister outside in the desert... she was walking to someone else... which cant make sense right...? she should be in the tower at class..." [/b]Hayato said instantly changing his mind about dueling. When he said she was outside of all places he didn't understand why she would be outside in the first place. She wasn't the kind of person who just ditched class since her grades were pretty high tier though she didn't really have anyone to compare them to since she had been home schooled like Shinrei. Shinrei decided that trying to find a way further into Duel Tower was pointless where he ordered his two bodyguards to look around and report back to him they see anything out the ordinary while he go see what this sighting of his sister out in the desert was all about. [b]"Why don't you just stay here. Last thing I need are people who would just get in my way and weigh me down. Besides, you should care more about your sister than my problems."[/b] Shinrei said coldly toward Hayato in one of his usual this is my problem stay out of it tones. He then made his way toward the exit as he was going to go search in the desert for Tsukiko.

Tsukiko had walked away from the boy who she had met earlier and managed to pass her brother by without even noticing. Neither of the two noticed that they had passed each other, but she was also quite a distance away when the two crossed paths. She was annoyed by the attitude of that boy to think he could just tell her what to do. She pulled her foot back and brought it forward kicking up dust in frustration, because that boy thought he could just tell her what she could or could not do like he was her father. Of course, he wasn't her father and she didn't care about his warnings. Judging by his aura she could sense he wasn't one of the most friendly individuals anyway. Tsukiko had made it back to the entrance where she entered noticing some guys in black suits checking around the area. [b]"Guys in suits? Is my brother back?"[/b] She questioned as she went toward the stairs and finally noticed the doorknob would turn. As much as she wanted to look for her brother, she needed to survey the area and see if anything else was out of the ordinary in order to ensure that the threat was gone.

Tsukiko decided that she would climb the stairs instead of the elevator since they looked like someone was using them and it might be awhile until they got to where she was at. If people were in dire need she wouldn't have the luxury of wasting time; however, a part of her questioned the fact she helped people that she didn't even know. She climbed floor after floor noticing the flights were empty which meant the elevators were probably very busy at the moment. She didn't have any problem with having to use the flight of stairs anyway since the exercise is well worth it. As athletic as she was it wouldn't hurt for her to use the stairs anyway. During her climb she swore she could hear someone coming in her direction, but she didn't understand why they didn't just wait or use the elevator. Most people didn't climb the stairs, because elevators were such a luxury. She couldn't see who it was since they were quite a ways up though she might just stop them to ask them about the current situation since she wanted to know about what was ahead of her and if she was watching into danger.
