I exited the building, finfuriated, embarrassed and guilt-ridden. I was infuriated that even after I was strip-searched, they wouldn't let Bakura leave, I was embarrassed that a male had to search me, and I was guilt-ridden because I thought for sure they'd let Bakura go home once they found nothing on me. But they still couldn't 'risk it'. Didn't anyone realize that I was fine and Bakura was fine? Alison walked by my side, looking at me as I played with the ring around my neck.

"What's wrong, Violet?" she asked me. "You're on your way home!" I looked up at her and smiled a little bit.

"I guess you're right." I replied. There was no sense in trying to explain myself. I didn't even really know why I felt so distraught. I've only known Bakura for a day, it's not like we've been friends since we were in diapers. Needing to tell her something, I said, "I miss Fenrir."

"Yari found the spare key you hide in the bushes and took care of him while you were gone, don't worry." She chimed in with a smile. "Anyways, I'm glad this whole ordeal is over." A car beeped at us repeatedly as we reached the end of the block. It was Alison's moms.
"Come on, Vi, we'll take you home." Her mother, Aliah offered. Joyce leaned over from the steering wheel to wave to me. I shook my head, smiling as I waved back.

"I'm gonna walk, enjoy the fresh air." I explained. I gave Alison a big hug goodbye and promised I'd see her Monday. She reluctantly let me go and got in the car. They beeped as they drove off until I couldn't see them anymore, and I make my slow, limp/walk home.

I thought a lot about what had happened on the way. Bakura was a very peculiar man. One minute he was Mr. Seriously Quiet, and the next he was making sarcastic angry quips at you or joking around with a dumb grin on his face. The changes in his mood were quick. I wondered if it had anything to do with his relationship with his family as I crossed the street.

Because of my family, I grew pretty independent. But I was also pretty nice if I liked you, which came from my mother, at least before she passed. Where my spine-tingling ability came from, I had no clue. I wondered as I saw my house in the distance if family was what made Bakura act as he was, like mine did.

I stepped inside and was immediately calmed. Joy in my system, I whistled for Fenrir and rushed to embrace my husky as he howled and leapt his giant self into my arms. He panted and wagged his tail furiously, and I laughed and fell to the ground with him, becoming showered in kisses.

"I missed my boy, yes I did!" I cooed, scratching his belly. He rolled off me and kicked his hind leg in satisfaction.

We played around for about twenty minutes before I remembered that I hadn't even closed my front door yet. I rose to pull it shut, locking it behind me, then bent down to play with my dog some more. He'd calmed down enough from his excitement in being reunited with me to sniff at the millennium ring I wore. He looked up at me, obviously smelling a new person he hadn't met.

I took off the ring and gave the string part to Fenrir. "Go put it on my bed for a treat!" I said, pointing upstairs. In an instant, he was gone and I headed into the kitchen to fetch his Pupperoni sticks.

A few hours later, I was curled up on the couch with my dog, clicking through the tv when the phone rang. I stood, careful not to disturb him from his quiet slumber, and pressed "Talk".

"Rose residence, this is Violet speaking." I said. It was Demetre.

"Ms. Rose, we've looked over the stories you and Mr. Bakura gave us," he said. "I'd like you to know we've cleared the issues and he's being released as we speak. We just need you down here to sign some papers and the whole ordeal will be done."

I groaned. "I live all the way on the other side of town and I don't have a car."

"You don't own a bike or a scooter of some sort?" he offered.

"I couldn't ride anyways. I'm wearing a splint on my foot." Demetre asked me to hold for a moment, and then came back on the line. "We understand. An escort will be there shortly to pick you up."

"Alright." I agreed and hung up, slipping my shoes back on. After this I could finally get some peace.

When the car came for me, I was off to the station. I walked inside and saw Bakura sitting on a bench, bent over with a pen and a clipboard of papers in his lap. He looked up when I walked in and sent me a small wave, before returning to the paperwork. I was handed my own clipboard and sat down next to Bakura, beginning to sign.

"You're left-handed." He said, looking at me writing. "Haven't seen another in a few years."

I looked at his hand. He was left-handed, too. The thought made me smile.

"Me either. Which parent?"

"Dad." I nodded and gave a 'me too', before we returned to the stuff in our hands.

Several minutes passed, the air smelling like black ink and all sounds consisting of the tips scratching against paper as we rushed to file the forms and go the fuck home.

I flipped to the last page of my pamphlet and groaned. It looked almost no different from the page before. It asked me basically the same information, just reworded.

"I already answered this shit..." I muttered, tapping the butt of my pen angrily against the board. "Screw it."

Bakura looked up from his papers to see me giggling as I wrote down my answers, and he snorted.

"Sex: No thank you." he read from my forms. "Gender: I'm not picky? Violet, what the fuck are you doing? It's hilarious but you're gonna get your ass kicked."

I sighed. "I answered almost all of these questions within the first thirty-something pages. This feels like school."

"Doesn't it?" he responded. "Seriously, though, fix those before you get thrown in jail for...whatever it'll be they'll do it."

With another sigh, I complied, scratching over my more amusing answers and finishing up just as he did. We stood to turn them in and the secretary told us to wait.

"Still thinking about my answer?" I asked. Bakura nodded and looked at me.

"Where's the ring?" Just as his sentence finished, a light blinded us and I looked down to see it dangling from my neck again. The albino grabbed my shoulders and quickly sat me down at the bench, while the lady looked around in search of where the light came from.

"Jesus." I muttered. "This thing's clingy. I'm afraid it's going to choke me to death or something."

"That's why I was more than ecstatic when it finally disappeared." he whispered, shooting me a pointed look. I rolled my eyes.

"I already said I was sorry like thirty times, Bakura." I muttered back. "What do you want me to do? I'm not fluent in magic."

"You're free to go." said Demetre. We both jumped and looked at the brunette.

"Thanks." Bakura said, standing and stretching. "I'm going home. This has been fun, Violet." he turned and smirked at me. "See you Monday."

I watched him leave the building and smirked myself.

"See you Monday." I muttered.

Oh my god this is the worst chapter I've ever written.

It's hard as fuck dropping a fanfiction and then getting back into it way, way later. Jesus.

Uh. That's it.

Also, the 14th was my birthday. Now I'm 15. XD

Bye!
