…Don't ask. You don't want to know. This is why I should stay OUT of the YGO wiki when I get the urge to wikiwalk. (For those who don't know what wikiwalking is, let me know and I will explain). This is SUPPOSED to be a short little piece; there won't be any more to it I believe. I'm using it to make a point.
Disclaimer: I in no way, shape, or form, own the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. This is a work of fan creation, and as such is not technically canon. I get absolutely NOTHING from writing it.
Walking along the hallway, Kaiba resisted the urge to say anything to the owner of the apartment. He wasn't here for pleasure, after all, just to grab what he needed. He was cursing assigning the coding of the virtual world game to another company since it meant dealing with one of the geek squad again. (Never mind he hadn't known that at the time.)
"Here, Kaiba-san," a soft voice called from his right. Turning his head, Kaiba refrained from sneering as he took the offered disk. Bakura Ryo smiled at him, completely unfazed. "My father apologizes for letting this one get separated from the others."
"Hm. He should be," the businessman replied coldly. Taking the disk, he had it safely stored in his pocket. Before he left, he gave the wall of family photos one last cursory glance that quickly became a long stare of shock.
Bakura looked in the same direction as Kaiba and smiled sadly at the familiar photo. "That was the last family portrait we took," he said conversationally. When the darker toned man turned his head to look at him instead of just leaving, Ryo reached up and took the picture down from the wall, holding it in front of himself so it was still easily seen by them both yet more details were able to be seen. "There was a car accident a few months after it was taken. We lost both of them."
"The girl…" Kaiba's soft utterance was the only acknowledgment he gave that he heard what Ryo said.
"My twin sister. Amane." Sighing, Ryo refrained from mentioning anymore. He knew it was probably just a shock to Kaiba to learn about his twin, seeing as he rarely mentioned her. Returning the picture to its former resting place, he said conversationally, "Even without them, my father and I have continued to live on to honor their memories. Good day, Kaiba-san."
Recognizing the dismissal for what it was, Kaiba turned on his heels and left silently, like a dark cloud being chased away by sunlight. His mind was in an uproar, trying to reconcile what he just saw. He cared very little for the elegant woman, studious man, and the young boy who looked far more mischievious than one would ever expect of Bakura Ryo now as an adult. Instead, his mind focused on the little girl…
On Amane…
It wasn't hard to tell she and Ryo were twins. Even in the picture, they looked to be the same age and shared snowy white locks with their mother. It was the differences that made everything in him stop and pay attention.
Her hair had fallen straight down her back, like a silk curtain, only a few strands falling in her pale face.
Bright blue eyes, filled with warmth and laughter, had smiled just as much as that little mouth.
As he paused on the sidewalk outside of the building, Kaiba looked up at the building. He could have sworn he heard a conflict of sounds… The cry of that woman from Egypt, Kisara, as she reached for the priest she loved to keep him from dying… The roar of his Blue Eyes…
And underneath it all, the twinkling laughter of little girl.
…And thus, with just over 500 words, my little drabble is complete.
For those who couldn't figure it out, yes Amane was meant to be Kisara's reincarnation but died in a car accident with her and Ryo's mother (at age 7 according to her wiki page). There's no picture of her anywhere, so I took liberties as is my right as a fanfiction writer in those circumstances.
