Ryou was awoken by the cries of his younger sister. He ran to her room. "What's wrong, Amane?" He asked. There was a loud clap of thunder and a scream from Amane.

"It loud an scary, Ryou." She cried. "I wish mommy an daddy was here." She said sadly as Ryou walked into the room.

"I know sissy, I know." Ryou said sitting on the edge of her bed. It had been 3 months since there parents death. Ryou sat there remembering the day it happened.

******Flash back*************

Ryou was reading to Amane on a cold February night. They had been cuddled up by the fire when the phone rang. Ryou had gotten up to answer it. "Hello." He said.

"Are You Ryou Bakura?" Asked a professional sounding man.

"Yes." Ryou answered cautiously.

"We need you to come to the hospital strait away."

Without any questions Ryou answered, "Ok, I'm on my way." He hung up and grabbed Amane. He ran to the car and quickly buckled Amane's car seat. He jumped in the drivers seat and took off in a hasty speed towards the hospital.

Once they got there, Ryou was given the room number by one of the receptionists. He was meet with a doctor outside the door to the room number he was given.

"Ryou, your parents were in a terrible accident. There was nothing we could do to help your father, so I'm afraid that he already passed away. Your mother is just barely hanging on. I am not sure how much longer she will last in this world." The doctor informed him before allowing Ryou to enter the room.

Ryou left Amane in the hall with the doctor not wanting her last memories with her mom to be sad ones. He closed the door behind him and walked up to the hospital bed. His mom looked up at him. "Ryou, I want you to call your cousin when you get home. Tell him what happened. He will help you." She whispered.

"Mom, don't go. Please what ever you do, please don't leave us." Ryou cried

"Please don't cry honey. I want you to take care of little Amane for me." Ryou wiped away his tears only for them to be replaced with new ones. "I love you, Ryou, and I want you to remember that." Those were her last words.

There was a beeping noise from one of the many machines, and the doctor came in the room. He put his hand on Ryou's shoulder. Ryou looked up at the doctor. "I think it's time you and your sister go on home now." The doctor said. Ryou nodded and stood up. "You might want to call a relative so you have somewhere to stay." Ryou walked out the door and grabbed the sleeping Amane.

He carried her out to his car and buckled her in before he got in the front seat. How am I going to tell Amane what happened? He thought. As soon as he put Amane in her bed he called his cousin like his mom had instructed him to. "What do you want?!" Ryou's cousin asked.

"Could you come down here please?" Ryou sniffled, beginning to cry again.

"Fine. I'll be there in a few." His cousin hung up the phone.

Ryou sat on the couch, just staring into the fireplace. He jumped when he heard a knock at the door. "Come in." He called. Ryou's cousin looked much like him. His name was Yami Bakura, but they just called him Bakura.

"Why did you call me over here?" He asked annoyed.

Ryou wiped tears from his eyes and said. "My mom and dad were just in a car accident and neither of them survived."

Bakura came over to the couch and sat next to Ryou. They were now the only three left in the entire family. Bakura's parents devoiced, then sometime after that his dad was murdered and his mom committed suicide. Ryou looked up at his cousin, tears still streaming down his face.

"Have you told Amane yet?" Bakura asked. Ryou shook his head.

*******End of flash back**********(For now it will continue)

Ryou was pulled out of his memory when he heard Amane scream after another loud clap of thunder.

"Shh. It's ok, Amane." Ryou said trying to calm her down. Amane climed into Ryou's lap.
