oos: Sorry it's been such a while since I've updated this story- or any
story for that matter. But I was at camp, then I had some writer's
block..... (shakes head) Anywayz, now I'm back! And I'm going to update my
profile to say this:
I have two stories that I had to stop in the middle of before leaving for camp: Baka and Do As the Ancient Kings Say (Ctnd). After much debating, and looking at reviews from my readers, I've decided to finish Baka. As soon as the last chapter's out, I'll continue on with DATAKS 2. Then, you have What One must do when One gains an Aibou (Ctnd) to look forward to, and maybe a song fic (I'm still thinkin' about that one). After these...... I'm considering taking a break from fanfiction.net and working on my own original story. Unless I get another cool story idea, of course. ^_~
On with the story! Enjoy!!!!!!! ^_^
Phone Conversation with Ryou
Bakura returned to the living room to find Baka curled up asleep on the couch. He scanned the room over quickly and decided nothing was missing, destroyed, or otherwise.
"Thank Ra," he said softly. Baka opened her eyes, raised her head and gave a short bark.
"What?" Bakura asked. The yami almost expected the puppy to answer him.
The telephone on the wall suddenly rang, startling both of the room's occupants into standing.
Baka shook herself and jumped off the couch. She ran to the wall and stood on her hind legs, barking wildly at the phone.
"I'll get it," Bakura grumbled automatically. He picked it up. "What?"
"Hi!"
"Ryou?! What do you want?"
"I just wanted to check that you were making out okay...." The boy responded, sounding slightly hurt.
"Well, I'm fine." Bakura used a milder tone. "How's your trip been?"
"Oh, it's been brilliant! I got to go sightseeing yesterday with a friend and we must've been around the whole city! I've used at least five rolls of film and- Bakura? Is that barking?"
During the whole conversation, Baka had been inspecting the phone. Everytime she heard Ryou's voice on the other end she would start yipping furiously. Bakura had been trying to listen and go "Shh!" at the same time, but his host must have heard anyway.
"No," The tomb robber tried to lie anyway. "What are you talki ng about?"
"Bakura."
"Fine! Yes!"
"Why?"
"I- I found it."
"What? You just took in a strange dog off the street?"
"No! She was at the park!"
"Does she have owner tags?"
"No."
"Vet tags?"
"No."
"Does she even have a collar on?!?"
"No!"
"Ergh!" Ryou made a noise of frustration before continuing. "Have you made up lost and found posters?"
"I just found her yesterday."
"You should try to find her owner before you keep her."
"I don't want to keep her!" Bakura said roughly. "It's not like I'm attached to her or anything."
"Sure," said Ryou, bemused.
"Did you pay a visit to my soul room?" The yami demanded.
"No! I can hear it in your voice plain as day."
Bakura muttered incoherantly into the phone for a minute while Ryou waited for him to finish.
"What should I do first then?" he mumbled. "I need to get rid of her."
"First, you should take her to the vet."
"Why?!? I don't want her!"
"It doesn't matter. She probably has fleas or something. And, let me guess, you let her run around and jump on the furniture."
"So what if I did?" Bakura asked defensively.
"Never mind. The point is, we don 't know what diseases or anything she might carry. Take her to the vet in town and tell him you want an examination for general diseases."
"Fine."
"And tell the vet to check for an ID chip."
"A what?"
"An ID chip is a little computer chip that is inserted through a needle into the back of a dog's neck."
Bakura grimaced at this description. "Why?'
"Then, if the dog is lost, a vet can use a scanner to search for the chip. Usually, information such as the owner's name and address is put on it. If she has a chip, then we'll know who the owners are."
"Uh-huh," said Bakura distractedly as he told Baka off for chewing on the phone cord.
"Oh, and for now, buy her a bowl and some food so we can feed her while we wait for her owner to call."
"Sure."
"Now I have to go, but I'll call in a couple of days to see how everything is, okay?"
"Yeah."
"Alright....... 'bye."
"Bye."
Bakura slammed down the phone and pulled a sock out of Baka's mouth. "To the vet we go." he said.
At the word vet, Baka's ears drew back and she sank close to the floor. With a whimper, she ran off to hide.
The yami blinked. "That smart little bugger....." he realized. " She must have definitely been owned before and now hates the vet! Get back here!"
He found her hiding under Ryou's bed.
"Come on out," Bakura wheedled. "It's only a little trip to..... the biscuit factory."
Baka's ears twitched forward.
"Yes, yes," he reassured. "Biscuits, biscuits, and biscuits galore!"
Baka crawled out from under the bed, her tail wagging.
"Gotcha!" The tomb robber scooped up the puppy into his arms and held her tight while he jammed some shoes onto his feet.
"Stop struggling," he hissed to Baka, who was squirming as if there was no tomorrow. "We're getting biscuits, remember?"
But she seemed to know he was lying and continued to wiggle with all her strength.
"Smart little bugger....." Bakura repeated and stepped out the apartment door.
oos: Ta-da! I feel so proud! (wags tail) Erm... yes, that's a long story by itself! Ta-ta! ^_^;; Oh, and reviews would be good, thanks.
