::In the park or on Duel Academy island, you can find an unusual little girl huddled under a tree. She's surrounded by books. A lot of them seem to be philosophical works and psychology related. She's completely hassle-able, but she's got her nose in a book. You wonder how such a young child could understand these books.::

I guess...

*Ruka falls silent and looks away from the girl. She didn't even realize people would think that of her, just for covering her body. At worst, she figured that they would just think she was stupidly anxious of showing off skin or something.
But what would people think of her dragon mark if she showed it? Surely that wouldn't go down all that well either... it seemed like a lose situation either way.*

I know the judging feeling. It's never fun.

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka nods*

It really isn't.

[triade_oscura]

They probably say terrible things behind your back.

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka looks up suddenly at her, her eyes widening with shock*

...terrible things...?

[triade_oscura]

They probably hate you for being smart. They might think you're a delinquent, or as I said, a Yakuza brat. And your hair? You might be a Duel Spirit to them, and not everyone likes those...

[voicesofspirits]

My... hair...? I...

*Ruka is noticeably more distressed than she was, as she thinks all this over, her mind jumping to conclusions. Did people really hate her for being smart? Did they really think all these things about her...?*

I-I...

[triade_oscura]

... Am alone and hated? Probably, miss. ::Just stays there, calm as a cucumber.::

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka steps back a little.*

I- ... I have to go...

*With that, she turns and runs off, tear-drops flying from her eyes as she does.
As she runs, she thinks to herself that even if she's a complete failure and everyone else at the school hates her... at least Rua doesn't. As long as she has Rua, she can never be fully alone and he'll always be by her side

No matter what.*
