*By now, those who know Ruka have most likely been informed about her hospitalization due to an attack from Ghost. If you visit her, she's conscious and sitting up in her hospital bed. She looks tired though and she's covered in scrapes and bruises. Her left arm is also in a sling. Her medical chart shows that her left shoulder was fractured in the incident, but it seems to be the only major injury she's gotten, though she's under observation in-case there are any internal injuries.*

"...do you have any idea why he jumped you?"

He knew I was a signer. Other than that, Niyo-san thinks they are benefiting from dueling us in some way.

[...

...he shakes his head.] "Y'know what. I don't care why."

[He stands up.] "I'm not gonna let them get away with this."

Rua...!

*Ruka looks over at her brother, looking concerned*

...I could barely even scratch that monster he used. Any traps, spells or effects that target it don't work, it was also protected by negation effects that stopped me from destroying the parts that made it up. Not to mention that the monsters are also anti-synchro...

*Ruka turns her head slowly away from him, gazing down at the bedsheets, tears appearing in her eyes.*

...if it wasn't for the spirits protecting me from the final attack... he probably would of seriously injured me or worse...
...I don't want him to hurt you too.

[Rua raises his voice without realizing it.] "I don't CARE about his stupid monster! I don't care if it'll hurt me! It already hurt you and Yuusei and a bunch of other people! What the hell kind of loser does that make me if I just let him keep doing whatever he wants!?"

[He seems to realize he's yelling when he sees Ruka's started crying. He runs a hand through his hair in frustration.]

"Mrngh...."

"I just don't want him to hurt anybody else..."

...Rua...

*Ruka falls silent as she thinks quietly to herself for a few seconds. Knowing the stubborn streak her brother has all too well, she knows that convincing him not to go after Ghost would be impossible... but she couldn't help but also admire his heart and courage, risking injury to himself in the hopes of stopping further injury to others. In the end, whether he goes or not would be Rua's choice on his own, Ruka knows she can't change that and the best she could do was support him somehow.

Wiping the tears from her eyes, she reaches over with her free arm, and picks up her scuffed duel disk from the bedside table, despite the slight pain it seems to give her doing so. Afterwards, she takes her deck out and spreads it out on the bed, picking out a select few cards. She holds them silently for a short while, her eyes closed, before opening them and holding the cards out to Rua*

If you do go after him, take these. You don't need to put them in your deck, just keep them on you in the duel.
They'll protect you like they did me.

*When Rua looks at the cards, he'll see they're cards like Regulus, Kuribon, Sunlight Unicorn and even Ancient Fairy Dragon herself, the cards known to have spirits in them*

[Rua takes the cards and looks them over. His eyes are caught on Kuribon, Regulus and especially Ancient Fairy Dragon.]

But Ruka...these cards are your partners! I can't just take them!

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

I know, but it's okay, it'll only be for the duel, if you do decide to go against Ghost. I asked them if they'd protect you for me and they agreed.

I just want to make sure that you'll be okay.

"..." [Rua nods. He then reaches forward, putting his arms around Ruka and hugging her tightly.]

"I'm gonna go and kick Ghost's stupid ass and everything will be fine, okay?"

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

*Ruka puts her one free arm around her brother, returning the hug, her voice becoming softer as she replies*

Okay.
Just... be careful.
