Anpu hadn't spoken after they put him in the cell. He'd continued to put up the illusion of fighting the entire time, and it was quite possible he'd broken that Kimura fellow's foot the way he had stamped down on it. He'd been grateful Takahashi had stepped in there. With how badly that had gone, he wouldn't have been able to pretend he hadn't had a chance to escape if Takahashi hadn't intervened.
His stance hadn't changed in that time, either. It was all Anpu, none of the facade of Bakura he used. He'd sat down on the bed and seemed to stare off into space. A few times he faked a sneeze, using the moment as an excuse to glance into other parts of the cell without raising suspicion. After a while, he'd switched to staring at the wall, his back to his guard. He'd dozed off not long after that. When he woke up, or at least made it clear he wasn't asleep, it was the dead of night. The angle of the moon in combination with what he'd seen of this world's climate indicated it was sometime around one in the morning.
Yamada looked asleep. Anpu had to let out an annoyed sigh. He leaned over and pulled off one of his shoes, lifting it up and throwing it at Yamada's head. If the man turned, he'd see an annoyed Anpu with his arms crossed, accompanied by a single sentence.
"Are all officers of this era this incompetent, or are you special?"

Yamada hadn't been happy with the job he'd been given. The only upside this day so far had was that it had eventually turned out Chisaki was taking the day off. Yamada would have loved (and that was with massive sarcasm there, folks) to see how she would have reacted to everything Ryou had gone around claiming. For all of the struggling Ryou had done as they'd led him away to this little cell, he'd gotten pretty quiet after they'd locked him away. So who could blame Yamada for taking a little nap, right?
Well, obviously the prisoner himself, as Yamada found himself getting a shoe thrown at him. The shoe hit him pretty squarely in the face, causing Yamada to shoot awake and rub his nose where it hit him. He was pretty sure it was bleeding. He turned toward Anpu and glared at the kid as he spoke.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but you're going to get in a lot more trouble for throwing this at me, Bakura-san," Yamada stated. He put the shoe on a table next to him.

"Do you honestly think I'd be in here if I didn't want to be? And the name is Anpu, get it into your tiny little brain. My name has never been 'Bakura'," Anpu gave an exaggerated shrug, "I would have thought Tohru would have brought it up. I suppose he's hiding it behind that mask everyone here seems to think is the real him, after all."

Yamada continued glaring at Anpu. So he had been lying to Adachi this whole time? Yamada stopped believing that at Anpu's comment about Adachi's mask. Adachi wasn't hiding behind some kind of mask... was he?
"What do you mean?" Yamada found himself asking.

Anpu gave a chuckle at the question.
"The words mean what I said. You don't know the real Tohru. Man's quite the con artist, I'll give him that. Hell, Ryou even managed to get attached to him despite trying to push people away all the time," Anpu frowned for a moment, "Hell, he even had me going at first. And I don't misread people often."

"You're lying!"
Yamada shot to his feet, managing to knock over his chair as he did so. There was no way Adachi could be lying to all of them. Yamada had spent plenty of time with Adachi. They often went out drinking together after work, after all. He knew the man quite well, and even when he was drunk he wasn't any different... and Anpu was saying Adachi was conning them all!?

(OOC: YAY RETCON. Notthatyou'dknowifyouaren'tfollowingtheplot.)
"Am I?" Anpu stated with a smirk. He leaned forward, putting his right hand behind him for support, "Weren't you the one that told Ryou about Tohru's strange behaviors lately? Would the Tohru you know accidentally shoot some one? Hell, would he have the balls to pull a gun on someone like that?"
Anpu leaned back, "Think about it. If he hasn't mentioned me, the "other self" of the boy he took in, what else hasn't he told you?"

"Ah..." Yamada took a step back. Yeah, he couldn't really... see Adachi pulling a gun on someone. Sure, Adachi was always trying to make himself look good around the station, but he'd never pull a gun on someone. Hell, it had taken all of the courage Yamada had to pull that gun on Anpu before. It wasn't like Adachi would go out of the way and put his life on the line to help Seta, either. Yamada had heard Seta talk about him before, and he knew Adachi didn't like him much. Always calling him a psycho who wanted nothing more than to see him dead and such other descriptions.
Thinking back now, Yamada realized something. Adachi never went into detail about life before the Island. All he'd say was he'd transferred into some town out in the boonies called Inaba and had worked there for about a year. And Takahashi was always threatening Adachi with something about Inaba...

Anpu continued to talk due to Yamada's lack of response. He'd leaned back and put his hands behind his head. He wasn't even looking at Yamada as he spoke. Anpu seemed preoccupied with the ceiling. Over all it gave the impression he didn't really care about the conversation.
"Of course, I could be wrong," Anpu sounded more bored then he looked, "It's not like I was there when that priestess got shot. Didn't you folks get some kind of report or something. Blindly believing me with just a few sentences really paints you as a jerk, don't you think?"

Yamada got a nervous look on his face at that before shifting back into a glare. Was this kid playing with him? He really wasn't all that nice after all... Adachi had said he was such a nice kid, but that didn't seem the case now. Yamada bent down and picked the chair up before sitting down in it.
"Could you just go back to sleep?" Yamada asked. His thoughts were still whirling. Could Adachi have been lying about Ryou being such a nice kid? If anything, Anpu's statements had managed to cast doubt on Yamada's opinions of Adachi. But Adachi was always such a nice guy... That couldn't have all seriously been a trick, could it?

Anpu moved forward on the bed so that he could actually lay down rather than back. He kept his hands hooked behind his head. For a few minutes, he actually was quiet. He'd come at this a bit strongly, it wasn't condusive to getting information. Right now he was sure he had Yamada confused... he smirked. His entire posture, even laying down, shifted.
Bakura, as it were, sat up and looked around the cell with a confused expression. He lifted his hand to his head and seemed confused for a moment. His eyes got wide and he jerked his head to Yamada.
"Wha-what happened!? Is everyone okay...?"

Yamada frowned in confusion as Anpu's posture changed. That was a lot like what had happened before, when he'd taken Takahashi's gun. It had looked like multiple personalities before, so did that mean the Bakura personality was coming back now? Or was Anpu playing him the fool again?
"You broke Kimura-san's foot," Yamada said a bit harshly. Normally he was nicer than this, especially to Ryou, but he was still a bit mad because of how Anpu had been talking before. Yamada could find absolutely no reason Adachi would act the way Anpu had claimed, after all. Even if he HAD been acting oddly lately.

Bakura frowned and looked away at that. He hadn't reacted to the tone of voice Yamada had, though. The white haired teenager looked at his lap for a few moments before glancing around the cell. He blinked and looked down at his foot before glancing over towards where Yamada had put the shoe. The way he'd done it indicated he'd had to search to find it.
"Is it possible for me to get my shoe back...?" he asked. He seemed puzzled why it wasn't on his foot to begin with.

Yamada groaned. Okay, so the kid really did seem like Ryou. But again, split personality things were way more likely seeming. He picked the shoe up before walking over to the cell and holding it out to Bakura.
"Here. Just don't throw it at my head again," Yamada said.

Bakura looked a little relieved as Yamada picked it up and held it out. He hesitated for a moment before standing up and walking over. He had his hands on it when Yamada told him to not throw it at his head again. He tensed up and then hung his head, taking the shoe.
"U-understood... I'm very sorry," Bakura muttered. The apology had been the sort one might give during a social faux pas, not the standard. His walk back over to the bed limped a bit due to only wearing one shoe.
Bakura pulled it back on and and put his chin in his hands. After a moment he spoke again, "What did you mean when you said Adachi-san has been acting odd...?"
