"It's tomorrow, isn't it anija?" Tsukikage tugged on his hair, pulling it loose from his ponytail. His mask was still secured around his neck, but he hadn't completely removed it yet. Yawning, he stretched out his arms and allowed himself to fall back into his pillow. Today had been a tiring one.
Hikage nodded from his bed, his attention focused on the cards spread over the sheets. Picking up a trap card, he tossed it over to Tsukikage. "That one is better suited for you. Don't lose it."
Tsukikage's arm shot up and caught the card, He turned it over to read the description. A Barrier trap? Sitting up, he picked up his deck from the nightstand and slipped it in along with his other cards. So that means that tomorrow I will be on the defensive. "Thank you..."
After Hikage's match against some poor soul from the Kieto School earlier that day, Akaba Reiji had called on them and said he had been impressed with their skills. He said he was interested in hiring them for a certain someone's protection and warned them about a a group called 'Academia'. They had both found it a bit strange, but they still agreed. Tomorrow instead of the quarter-finals, all the remaining duelists will participate in a battle royale. Tsukikage closed his eyes and slipped under the covers. Well, he'll worry about that tomorrow. Right now, all he wanted was to get some rest.
Hikage finally finished up building his deck. Gathering up his cards, he began to shuffle them. "Remember this, Tsukikage. Tomorrow will be a war, but we must protect that girl. Understand?" He turned to his younger brother but saw that Tsukikage had already fallen asleep. Smiling, he stood up and walked over to the wall to turn the lights off. "Good night, little brother."
