Suddenly Iris appeared. "What's going on?" She asked. She sounded as though
she had just woken up, which she had. She had been sleeping in her soul
room, and was awakened by all the commotion. "It's a long story. Don't
ask." Ryou asked. "I'm in the mood for a story." "Aisling, explain to her
please." Bluefire replied.
"Why do I have to explain?" "Just do it, Aisling." Aisling whimpered. "All right." She told her the whole story, showing her the Rod she had grabbed before they left. Iris was laughing hysterically by the end of the story. "And I thought you were supposed to be the innocent one, Aibou." "I am...kinda...sort of...oh, okay, fine, I'm not." Aisling replied, grinning evilly.
"We're here." Ryou spoke up. "Okay, Ryou." Bluefire replied, stopping the car. "Now, open the door and either get back inside the
car or get inside the house." Ryou nodded. "Okay, but I hope you don't mind I go inside the house." Bluefire nodded. "No problem. Just go." Aisling got out of the car, too. "I'll go with you, Ryou."
"Okay." They both walked over to the garage and Ryou put in the code. The door opened a moment later. "All right, Bluefire. Go ahead and park, and we'll meet you inside. Just come in through the door in the garage." Ryou told her.
"Okay." Bluefire replied.
Iris disappeared into her soul room again as Bluefire parked the car and shut the door so no one would see the car. Then she joined Aisling and Ryou in the house. She looked around and asked Ryou "How come you and Bakura moved out of here, anyway? This house is pretty nice. It's so cozy." Ryou blushed. "I wanted to be closer to Aisling, and though he won't admit it, Bakura wanted to be close to Iris. It was just kind of a mutual agreement, I guess."
Aisling lay her head on his shoulder. "He's stubborn that way, isn't he?" Ryou nodded. "Yeah." Bluefire spoke up. "Wow, the idea of you and him agreeing on anything is amazing." Ryou nodded. "Yeah, I know. I still come back here once in a while, when I start to miss the place. It just has too many memories, and neither of us wanted to sell it."
"Wow." Aisling said. "So now what do you guys want to do?" Bluefire shrugged. "I don't know. See how long it's going to take before they forget about trying not to kill us, see if there's anything in the cabinets, that stuff. What about you, Ryou?" Ryou nodded. "I agree. Do either of you want anything from the kitchen if there is anything in there right now?" Aisling nodded. "Yeah, sounds good to me."
"All right, come on, let's go see if there is anything. I don't know if there is, but if not, we can always go to the store." Bluefire checked a few cabinets. "I'm not sure, but I think we've only got enough
for one day. And that's at meager rations." Aisling nodded. "Hmm, you've got a point. All right, we'll have to go to the store then. Hey, Ryou? Can you get me a pen and some paper?" Ryou nodded. "Sure." He rummaged around in a drawer and handed her the requested items.
Aisling nodded. "All right, I'll make a list of stuff to get. Any suggestions?" Bluefire nodded. "Well, some of the basics, for one thing. But no meat. Fish is okay, though. Preferably salmon. I could make something good. Mom taught me before I left and I have the recipe where I can keep it with me at all times." "All right." Aisling jotted it down on the paper. "Anything else? Besides caffiene and sugar maybe?"
"Ok, you and sugar or caffiene is not a good combination, love." Ryou replied with a sweatdrop. Aisling pouted. "Aww, you know you love it." Bluefire spoke up. "Okay, let's see. Some sodas would be nice. Bread. Cheese. toiletries." "First aid packs. Neosporin-" Ryou added.
"Slow down!" Aisling yelled. "I can't write that fast!" She jotted some stuff down on the paper, before indicating that she was ready for them to continue. "Okay, I got it. Anything else?" "Maybe some instant mixes." Bluefire replied. "I like using those. Oh, and salt and pepper.
Anything else, Ryou?" Ryou shook his head. "Not that I can think of. What about you, Aisling?" "I think that should be enough for now." "Let me see that list." Bluefire spoke up. "Here you go." Aisling gave the list to her. "Oh crap." "What?" "We've only got $66 between us. Unless Aisling brought a credit card." "Hold on, let me go look in my pouch."
Aisling went back into the living room and started to dig through said pouch. A moment later, she walked back into the kitchen, holding a credit card. "Here," Aisling said. "I forgot I had this in my wallet. There should be plenty of money left on it." "That's great." Bluefire replied. "Whoever's willing can go to the store, I'll take them." "I'll go." Aisling piped up. "Can I drive your car?" "No." "Please?" "No." Aisling looked at Bluefire using her most lethal weapon... the sad puppy eyes. "Pleaaasssseee??" "No, you drive like a psycho." Aisling stuck out her tongue. "I do not!" "Umm, actually, love, she has a point." Ryou spoke up. "Ryouuuuuu!!!!! You're supposed to be on my side!" Aisling whimpered. "Trust me, Aisling." Bluefire told her friend. "Even if you drove like a sane person, I don't trust
anybody else to drive." Aisling whimpered again and Ryou put his arm around her shoulders. "All right." "Now that that's settled," Bluefire spoke up. "Ryou, are you going with us, or staying here?" "I'm going with you! I don't want to be alone." "Okay, then." "All right, let me grab my purse and we'll go." Aisling piped up and went to the living room to get the purse.
"Who has the list?" Bluefire asked.
"I've got it." Ryou replied.
"All right, let's go." Aisling replied.
"Why do I have to explain?" "Just do it, Aisling." Aisling whimpered. "All right." She told her the whole story, showing her the Rod she had grabbed before they left.
