I swear hunting has become way more stressful for me. Yes poor little me wakes up early and leaves every single day without rest. Gets back around 12 am. Then wakes back up at around 4-ish am. My brothers like to think they got it hard or at least Quattro does. Every time I leave I always pass by a living room in our 'home' and always remember my brothers.

Quattro picking a new 'fan' to 'spoil' always talking big about himself thinking he's better. Quinton getting annoyed by him telling him to be quiet, Or to be respectful. I always remember Trey walking towards them with goodies telling them to stop acting like children. I smile slightly at those memories of them. I scoot away from the room and escape into the dark run-down hallway. My icy blue eyes look around the room carefully as I continued to walk forwards knowing a doorway would soon come.

Soon enough I emerge from the hallway, out the doorway, into the soon to die night sky. I sigh as I think about today's journey.
I soon look forward as I look out past the brittle looking bridge onto the city. Without a second thought I put my long jacket's hood over my head and run quickly put past the bridge. Number hunting like I said was beginning to become stressful. For instance I could barely focus during a duel even the most simplest duels seemed impossible. My body has also been feeling Weak for a long time now. Another strange occurrence is that sometimes during a duel my eye starts stinging, abs what I mean is it sort of zaps the inside of my body.

Luckily for the first hour all I can feel is the weakness. Walking through the empty/somewhat empty streets of the outer city I soon find myself on my butt on the ground. I rub my leg as I look ahead seeing a man on the ground not moving. I quickly get up in a panic and jog over to him, but before I could speak I notice that everyone wasn't moving. I quickly look around people were walking but stuck or even frozen in time.

"What the hell?" I say aloud to myself as I soon get a notification on my digital number tracker. I quickly grab it out and check out what was happening right now. A strong signal was burning up a few miles from where I was. I quickly pull my number tracker away and run to the destination dodging as many people as I possibly could. I skid on the side walk as I make the sharp corners on the sidewalk. Looking up though I notice smoke I must be close I would think. Running closer I started to smell the odd smell of smoke. I slow down as the smell became stronger.

Finally I stop at the last corner I hear a few footsteps along with whimpering sounds. Soon the agonizing scream like sound was heard. I soon quickly turn the corner after a long breathe to find a glimpse of a boy flying away in the barely morning sunrise. Soon time goes back to its normal pace as I could hear birds chirping again. I look at the man from wear I stood he looked old with grey hair his face showing his bones as did the rest of his body.

Soon enough a scream of a woman was heard as I look around myself seeing a woman looking at the man running up to him getting her duel gazer out calling an emergency number. I quickly get out of there not wanting to be questioned by any police members. That morning I had basically to myself, but I spent most of it on the idea of that odd sight I saw. I silhouette of a boy flying away.

My mind was already tired but now this? My life feels like it just got a thousand times more stressful. When Vetrix hears about it he's gonna probably want me to destroy him at some point and time. Then again I could be wrong Vetrix does have 'those' weird ideas.

Up until the mid afternoon I had gotten around three numbers pretty good for mid afternoon but not good enough. I put my hood down as I walk through the shopping district to grab a small bite to eat. After all I didn't want to look to suspicious. My black and blue hair gladly dance out of my hood excited to get some fresh air.

I smile slightly at myself as I feel the cool air hit my head. Taking a few deep breaths I decide to settle with a bite to eat at a place called Love's Coffee. I buy a cold drink and a small loaf and eat up. A few minutes pasted and I had finished. I grab the brown bag my loaf was in and the white cup I had my cold drink in, throw it away, and leave. This was a normal thing for me I leave the shopping area and put my hood back on my hair grabbing their last bits of air. I began to go back to hunting the numbers by the end of my 'shift' I had ended up with four number cards total. Not exactly the best, but enough for now. I soon head back to our 'home' to meet up with Vetrix to chat about my mission.

Crossing the crippled bridge again I walk through the doors and meet a large room with a balcony looking at me. A few rooms on either side stand out slightly as a few halls head off in different directions. Taking my leave I take a few hallways then  through a room or two I make it to a large room with multiple screens laid out along with a large fancy, creepy chair in the middle. Laughing was soon heard the kind in movies that are meant to be made to scare not just children but the parents.

After I few steps the laughing stops and a voice was replaced with it instead. "So Tsuki? I'm going to assume you collected a rather good amount today?" I nod even though he was turned away from me I soon walk up to him and set four cards down on his old warn out chair arm. "Excellent! Your doing great just like I expected!" I look off around the room wondering if I should say anything about the incident that happened today. 'Finally I stop at the last corner I hear a few footsteps along with whimpering sounds. Soon the agonizing scream like sound was heard. I soon quickly turn the corner after a long breathe to find a glimpse of a boy flying away in the barely morning sunrise.' Soon Vetrix picks up on the odd disturbance in the room.

"Is something troubling you Tsuki?" He asks his eyes looking back at me through the darkness. "I just had an encounter with a boy... he seems to be a number hunter as well." There was silence after my last words fade off the walls. Finally the silence breaks. "Thank you Tsuki that will be all."

I walk out of the room like I did every night. Walking down the hallway down to my room I peer at a clock on the wall 11:38pm I smile lightly knowing I'll get around 23 extra minutes to sleep tonight. I soon make it into my bed and pull the covers over my worn-out body. My body quickly feels relaxed and I began to drift off to sleep. A tear leaving my tired eyes right before I drifted off to sleep under the moon lit sky.
