*For months, Ruka had run through in her head of what she'd do if she came face-to-face with the Crimson Dragon again. She'd gone though every statement, every argument and every question thousands of times over.
But when she was actually stood in front of it, she froze. All the planning refused to make sense and she could barely recall any of it. She felt terrified of letting the dragon know exactly how she felt about the situation it had pulled her and her brother into. Pulling them away from their family back in their own timeline, to make them grow up and make lives in the current one without ever saying why they were really sent there. What if one day they had to choose between the two? What if they didn't get to choose at all? Even choosing would be an incredibly difficult thing to do.
The Crimson Dragon silently stared Ruka down, as if waiting for her to say something, but as time passed without a word, the dragon seemed to grow impatient and let out a shrill cry before it started to fly away.
Ruka wanted to call out to it, but the words weren't able to leave her mouth.
It was then that the area filled with a sudden flash of red light...
-----------------------
Ruka woke with a start in her bedroom in the Sakana apartments. Sitting up, she took a moment to let the familiar look of the room sink in, before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"...it was just a dream...".
She looked over at her brother's bed on the other side of the room, making sure she didn't wake him up, but she was surprised to see that his bed was empty. Looking over at the clock beside her bed, it read that it was just past 7am.
This was puzzling to Ruka, it was rare for her brother to be up this early at the weekend. Actually, it was rare for him to be up at this time any day of the week.
"Maybe he went to help Yuusei with something..."
After getting dressed, Ruka wandered through the apartment, gradually checking the rooms, but it seemed like no-one was around at all. Where could they all be at this time in the morning? They wouldn't of gone somewhere without telling her...
Though there was no indication anyone had gone anywhere. Shoes were still in the hallway and everyone's apartment keys were still hung up on the wall near the door.
Opening the door, Ruka stepped out into the courtyard and ran around to the garage. Surely if no-one was in the apartment, they might just be in the garage, maybe to watch something Yuusei was working on.
"Yuuse---"
Ruka stopped dead as she ran into the garage, only to see the area where her friends D-Wheels were usually parked to be completely empty.
Ruka walked slowly back into the courtyard, not knowing what to do. Her friends had to be somewhere, right? But where would they be if it looked like they never left the apartment? Her thoughts wandered to the strange dream involving the Crimson Dragon, but she shook her head, to try and shake those thoughts away.
It couldn't of taken her brother and the others away? Not without her? And not without so much as a warning... right?
Maybe one of the other residents at the apartment knows where they went, but with it being so early, she didn't want to wake up anyone who's sleeping to ask.
Though maybe you are up this early for some reason and you see Ruka standing in the courtyard, looking confused and slightly upset.
Maybe what woke you up was the really odd flash of red light that filled the area, just before 7am and you came out to investigate what it was.
Either way, she looks like she needs to someone to talk too.*

1/2
There were no notes and no evidence that anyone really left. Nothing seemed out of place, though the beds (and the sofa that Rally slept on in the living room) were all un-made.*
2/2
After an intense search, she was able to tell Juudai and Suguru her findings.*
Their duel disks and decks are all gone! But things like their phones, PDA's and laptops are all still here.
no subject
Nmmm... That's really weird. It looked like all of the beds were unmade, too... Why would only their decks and the sort be gone...?
*she really. really doesn't want to say what she's thinking though.*
1/2
I don't know, but there has to be a reason.
Maybe we should look in the garage next...
2/2
no subject
... What's wrong?
1/2
Ruka...?
2/2
They're gone, ... aren't they.
Re: 2/2
I... We don't know that for sure... *... she rubs her head*
... Can I ask why you think that "Crimson Dragon" took them?
1/2
Then it just left.
*As she continues, her voice begins to crack with emotion and her eyes begin to tear up again.*
That wasn't just a dream, was it?
2/2
*Juudai has no idea what to say in reply to her, though he realizes his silence alone would probably tell her what his answer would most likely be.*
Re: 2/2
*has even less of an idea of what to say, given this. Her first instinct is to try to comfort Ruka, but... she's not really close to her. but god, why would anything do that...? Why would anything just leave someone, because they didn't say something*
1/3
Why would it do something like this!? Why would it separate Rua and I? Why would it take my friends from me and leave me all alone?
Is it because I was losing trust in it? Is this some kind of punishment for that??
What am I supposed to do without Rua around!? He's the one who protects me! He was the only family I had here!!
*At this point, she is sobbing uncontrollably into her hands.*
2/3
And for it to simply just take them away without warning too...
Not knowing really how to make the situation better for her, Juudai reaches out to place a reassuring hand on her shoulder.*
Ruka, I...
3/3
Stay away!!
*She steps back and looks between Suguru and Juudai.*
Just... stay away...
*she then turns and runs in the direction of her apartment.*
no subject
But with the state she's in, now...*
... D-do you think she'll be alright...?
no subject
If she doesn't want us around right now, it might be best to just let her calm down and let things sink in.
I'll check on her later today and see if I can talk to her.
*Juudai certainly does have a worried expression on his face though. He's never seen Ruka act like this before.*

I will.
