"Trying to do some good?" Repeated Zekk. He chuckled. "A meaningless effort. I cant believe you lived this long and thought that such an idealistic thing was...." Zekk couldn't get through it, as he let out in a good, haughty laugh.
Zekk took a step closer to her, this time, avoiding a flower to do so. "Each time someone does something good..." started Zeks, as he made a few more steps into her direction, this time, intentionally stomping on three more flowers, one for each step. "...someone else will come and just fuck it up all anyway. Because believe it or not, they're are fuck-ups in this world. And they're more of them then they're are of you and bozo the clown over here."
Zekk pointed his thumb to his side, indicating the red head as "Bozo", but keeping his eyes fixed on the girl. Crossing his arms in front of him, he closed his eyes.
"After all, how can you think of a good world when with today's technology, its even easier to ruin, still, and even kill. The clan's in itself shows how bad the world is. Tensions are high, and another war could happen in any second. What will you be doing when that happens?" asked Zekk, as he took one more step forward, being only a foot apart from her. "Save a flower?"

Anora remained still, he might be coming towards her to prove some point, though she wouldn't let him intimidate her as he was probably trying. Her eyes never wavered from his, though she didn't like the way he spoke of her or this other stranger that had come around them. She bit back everything she was thinking and feeling though, knowing that it wouldn't do her any good to be upset.
"War might happen, it happens all the time through history.... I can't always be stopped so sometimes all we can do is to try and do our best with what we are able to and keep living. Maybe what I care about won't matter to anyone else, and maybe people will laugh at my attempts, but what does that matter? I don't have anything to lose, I have nothing to turn back to so I look ahead and do the only things that I can. If someone else comes and ruins things then I will just keep trying anyways."
People always tried to tear others down and tear down their work, though Anora didn't given into that. Things might look bad now and then, though she still had to keep on trying.

Yoko heard what this man was saying and then flipped out practically " how can you seriously say these kind of things ...true some one will come to mess you up ..but isnt it also true that someone else will fix it .. evil in this world cant exist without good and I believe that even if life sucks well then it can only get better and I only believe that if Destiny wills you to die or something happen to you ..it is only ot make you stronger...if you die it is to be reborn again and fix what you have done wrong and try and be all you can be ...and if Destiny so much as wills wars to happen ..then obviously those who survive are for the good ...so why should we try ..to make sure that Destiny picks the ones that truly deserve to live ...and have always had the strength to fight for what they believe in ...your way of thinking will be your down fall one day i swear it ...you need to start enjoying life and stop hating it ...life is hard ..but life is only what you view it to be ...and I am telling you that Life can be as great as you want it to be ...just make sure thta what ever it is your doing ...is not something youll regret ..im sure what ypu have told us is something you truly do not feel but only feel it for the moment ..we all say things we do not mean and as for you saying to her about why to try ...how about why dont you start trying and say you didnt ...dont let your big god like ego get in the way of your actual thinking ... i do believe that what you say may be true ..but other things such as light , love , hope ...out shine all of the darkness and condem it to nothing ...you wonder why the hero always wins in a story ...well it is to show everyone that even though things may seem there worst ..only you can make ti better by trying , believing , and fighting for what you beleive in ...and even that si stronger than your bigot way of thinking " Yoko took a moment ot catch his breath and panting a little heavy
" wow what did i just do ?" Yoko thought inside his head as all this was going on

Zekk closed his eyes. The words they were speaking to him didn't click with him at all. Foolish words he thought to himself.
I dont have anything to lose.
Foolish.
Destiny wills you to die....only to make you stronger.
Nonsense.
"Idiots..." he muttered. He decided to take this calmly, or as calm as he could. He first stared at the girl, who was identified in the prior conversation as Anora. "'I dont have anything to lose.' If you truly believes those words, than that means two things."
Zekk lifted up his left hand, his fist clenched, before raising his index finger. "One..." counted Zekk. "Is that your life is truly worse and even more pathetic than mine. To not have anything to lose means that you have nothing precious to you. Not an ideal, a philosophy, or even a person. Complete loneliness"
Zekk paused, to let that one sink in. He wanted to cause some damage to her, simply for having a different view on life than he did. After a long pause, he put up a second finger.
"...Second. It means I cant duel you. I dont duel people who have nothing to lose. That means theirs nothing to gain from it," finished Zekk, and than turned to face the man.
"As for you...you are a complete fool. An emotional fool though. You do feel strongly about your philosophy. It's...precious to you," said Zekk.
Zekk reached into his pocket, and pulled out 45 Duel Monster's cards in a stack. Only the top was seen, not revealing what any of his cards were though. "However, I too feel strongly in what I believe in. A duel in where two conflicting views match....thats a duel I can be interested in."

Anora sighed, some people could be so stubborn, though it was only made worse by the fact that he thought he knew her so well. Her view of having nothing to lose didn't mean either and he had no right to assume such things about her. Sure the other guy was trying to help her out but there were some things he said that even she didn't really agree with. But who was she to change his way of thinking, or this guy before her either. It really wasn't her place to try and make him see reason either. Anora had wanted to simply stop him from destroying the flowers.
"I have nothing to lose because possessions aren't that important to me, people are more important. I have no family though, and friends are hard to come by whenever your usually working so that you have a place to stay. You may call it pathetic and think it worse then your life, but I am doing well with what I have and I'm getting by."
She shook her head lightly and continued to watch this strange boy who seemed to enjoy arguing with others around him,
"I'm sorry for saying anything at all, If you want to go around doing whatever you want to then I certainly can't stop you from doing so."

Zekk just smiled, shaking his head. He was going down a road he didn't really want to go, but to Zekk, trying to get this girl to understand his views was important to him, simply because it strengthened his own views. And he was a selfish person like that.
"Tell me than...Anora. If possessions are meaningless to you, that's fine. The only types of people that place any sort of comfort and security in their possessions are those who have too much to begin with." started Zekk. "You also don't seem to care strongly about an idea, like Bozo here." Zekk paused for a moment to let his free hand point to the red haired man. "I mean, you say this and that about 'good' and 'trying as hard as you can' but tell me...are you really happy like that?"
"Phrases like "getting by" only mean so much, really. You can try and cover it up, even hiding it from yourself, but eventually all the truth about it will get in. Even if you don't want it too."
He was getting to a point that a part of him really wanted to stop. However, he couldn't. It was like bending forward too much, and now you were tripping, but you couldn't stop yourself from falling.
"You said you have no family. Some people mean it as an emotional disconnection from them. That 'they dont get me' or 'they just dont understand'. That's what I first thought you meant, but then I remembered. Earlier when I brought up the idea of orphans, your eyes flickered, if only for a moment. Not having a family..."
I'm...slightly envious of that he thought to himself.
"Everyone has to have something to lose. Something precious. When that thing is taken away from them, they become something. Something different. Your family was precious to you, right? But when they died, they left a hole. You changed a little bit. Am I wrong?"
Zekk paused. Stop Zekk he thought to himself. Just stop it.
"Than tell me...if people are truly the "precious" items in your life, even now, can you give me a name? Any name, that was able to at least fill that giant hole in even the littlest amounts?"

Anora felt her fist clenching the more that he spoke, this wasn't about anything from before anymore. Things had changed and she couldn't stop the anger that suddenly flooded through her as it hadn't for some time. her family dying had done something to her, she had been lost for a while, but time had forced her to see that she had to keep going and that she couldn't fall into the depression that threatened to hold onto her back at that time. He obviously didn't know how that felt, how could he possibly understand such a thing like that? He was already standing so close to her and she couldn't help what happened next, her hand raised slightly before it came around to slap him,
"You don't know anything about what happened to them or how I felt afterwards. How dare you talk about that. I might of changed for a while, but then I realized that there was no point in that. They wouldn't have wanted me to be miserable for the rest of my life.... they would have wanted me to be happy and to keep living so I have been."
She looked down at her hand, knowing that she had lost her temper, he had driven her to doing so and she felt terrible about it. Anora looked away, her eyes dark and slightly clouded,
"What do you care if I have a whole left there or not..... so what if it's not been filled, it doesn't have to be for me to be happy. Eventually someone might, but I don't have to be in a rush about it."

Yoko listened to the man and then an argument go on between the two ..Anora and this man they were talking about holes in hearts and etc of things like that until Yoko wanted to interrupt this conversation " Guys I know that you say you have no one hat you care for or anyone who cares for you ...but thats why you try ..I am here to make friends and get on with my life ..even for some stupid war I'm involved in ..and I do believe strongly in what I say ..people are only kicked down to become stronger ..and you Anora ...You are mearly 16 ..sure you have been through shit ..but You life will get better if you choose to accept it all and try and make it better ...I am here offering my friendship and you are burning it aside and I feel that i feel like I wanna hold you and never let you go so you have a feeling of security with me " Yoko was mearly 5 '9 1/2 in height so he wasn't extremely tall and he was a gentle person and as he looked at the two he couldn't help but think of all the other stuff they said " well I own half of a big company so I have very much to lose and I don't have a family either ,,but thats why I fill that void of my life with friends as much as I can ..and thanks to the war thats going on ....I Have made so many friends that I feel a connection with ..That i am willing to lay my life on the line for ...and that Anora is why I believe you should let your guard down and let me in ..so we can both fill that void together r,..granted my family isn't dead ..but I left them in order to fix my life and stop being so uptight and just live my life and experience the world and this is why I believe what i believe ..and you dude ..stop putting her down ..you must be SO insecure about yourself that you must point out other peoples flaws ..could it be possible that your actually pointing out your own in an attempt to make yourself feel better or what ..stop being such a dick and just leave !" Yoko literally flipped out again not realizing anything he said
" god I hope i can get through to them "

Zekk felt the fast slap across his face with his one hand, rubbing it. She's got fast hands...didn't see them at all thought Zekk, slightly impressed. As he rubbed his cheek, which was a little red, he listened intently on what the girl Anora said, and than the red head.
At least their was some emotion in that, thought Zekk, as he gave it one more rub, and then straightened up.
"Well, after that outburst, you do seem a lot more human to me, Miss Anora." said Zekk simply.
Zekk than looked at the red head. "And you have dependency issues. Stop looking at others to help you out. Solve some problems on your own."
Looking from left to right, he sighed. Looks like I overstayed my welcome by a mile he thought to himself, grinning. Zekk walked through Anora and the man, making sure to step over a flower as he reached the pathway, and than continued walking.

Anora sighed lightly as she listened to Yoko, what guard did she have up with anyone? If anything Anora was a very friendly person and she enjoyed talking with people. Mostly she was friends with people at work since that's all she had time fore lately, though she also had old friends from before everything changed as well as a few other places that she visited.
"Please don't be mistaken Yoko, I have nothing wrong with being friends with you. I never said otherwise only that I didn't know you that well, there's nothing wrong with getting to know someone before calling them a close friend."
Anora only looked back towards the strange other boy because of what he said, and what he did afterwards only puzzled her further. Why would he care if she seemed human or not? Was caring about plants really so inhuman or something? Couldn't people care about their environment and want to do something about it? Sure she only had a few people to help her with the whole in her life, but it had only been a year since her family died, she couldn't possibly hope to fill that part of her life so soon.
"What about you? I don't seem human and he has dependency issues.... but what about the issues that you have? Why are you so hard on those around you....."

Zekk paused, giving another deep sigh. I just wanna go away now. All this obsessive need for a friend from the red head and this girl is really placing me in a bad mood. Getting it over with, he placed his hands in his pockets, he turned his upper body to face her.
"What..." said Zekk. "It isn't obvious? Hmph."
Zekk than opened his mouth, as if to say something when...
Because I'm egotistical. Because I see only the worst in people. I believe that even if people may seem good on the outside, that it has to be a farce. That, when the going gets tough and everything is out on the line, people will show you their true, nasty colors. That deep down we're all as far away from being a true Hero than what everyone else might tell you.
"It's because I'm an asshole," was all he said, as he walked away.
