Again. Another week had passed without them being able to find any trace for Yusaku. Or more... without him finding anything. In all honesty Ryoken wasn’t even sure if the others were still searching. Well he wouldn’t doubt Kusanagi. But Soulburner never really had the know how for a search like this and the rest of Hanoi as well as the Zaizen’s probably had other things in mind right now.
Maybe it was the point where Ryoken no longer could deny that he actually cared about the missing teen. Probably always had. Part of him had been aware of that rather soon though. His obsession once he figured out Playmakers identity probably had been prove enough but still...
Part of him was trying to make himself believe he was just searching for the younger teen because they still had a score to settle. He was ignoring the fact that it yet again had been him who had said farewell to the younger one to begin with though.
Maybe it was his own fault that he couldn’t find any trace of Yusaku now. Because the other one didn’t want to be found by him.
Closing his eyes for a moment he took a deep breath. If it really was like that... if Yusaku really didn’t want to be found... Ryoken had no doubt he wouldn’t be able to come close to him. After all the other one had managed to hide his past between the Lost Incident and appearing back in Den City already... he probably went back to the place where he had lived in that time for all he knew.
In the end he couldn’t even say what exactly caught his attention. But something, some kind of feeling caused him to open his eyes again and the first thing he could spot was a rather familiar Ignis on his duel disk.
“Hu? Well that’s a new one.” he commented and for a moment he wasn’t sure if this was a joke and if he was supposed to laugh about it.
“I thought you’re already gone. Do you want to die this badly, Dark Ignis?” @cyberseignis
