"The Ring"
Bakura's Point of View...
~My father returned from his dig in Egypt on an overnight flight to go to court with me. My aunt wanted me to move in with her, but both my father and I disagreed. I didn't really mind my aunt, but I was terrified of my uncle. He...seemed to drink too much. Anyhow, it took nearly two weeks, but we finally won the case. I returned to school and my father returned to his job.
I spent most of that week working on making up the homework that I had missed. Nothing much happened until my father came back from his trip.
He had good news and bad news, and whenever he says that, I get worried.
"So, what do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news." I replied, lowering his suitcase to the ground.
"The bad news is also the good news." He turned to face me. "We're moving."
I dropped the other bag I was holding. Sure, I wasn't the most popular person in school or the star of the football team, but at least I knew the people here. If we were to leave, I would most likely never see them again. "Oh..."
My father bent down to my eye level. "Bakura," He said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry- everything will be all right."
"When?"
"In three days, I already have everything planned." He stood up and walked up the stairs. "Hurry up and start packing, son!"
I stood there, still trying to absorb the shock. Well, maybe things could be better. A new home meant a new beginning, which basically meant I had the chance to change everything about myself. 'Nah...' I thought, and followed my father up the stairs.
"Bakura? Come here, I have something for you." I entered his bedroom as he held up an artifact. It was a beautiful golden ring, shining as if it had just been polished. There was a pyramid with the Eye of Horus in the center of it. On the outside, there were five arrowheads connected to the body with rings. "I think it's called a Millennium Ring, the man who sold it to me said it had something to do with the card game, Duel Monsters." Here he paused. "I feel...like you were destined for it." He tossed it to me, and I just caught it.
It felt nice, with its leather string it looked like a necklace. Without hesitation, I slipped it over my neck. It felt perfect.
"I have to go arrange some things, I'll be back soon." My father said as he exited, giving me a pat on the head.
As soon as the door slammed shut, the Millennium Ring began to glow...~
