Part 4A
Back to Those Days
Hikari: For those of you who didn't notice, I've upped the rating from a K+ to T. In the chapter I just finished up (chapter 6), the topic shifts to a darker side of Brandi's past that I won't go into. Anyways, this is the first of a few flashback parts. I'm trying to keep them short and few in numbers (there's only three so far) since they're kinda boring. The only good thing is you meet Sable, Brandi and Ryou's cousin. Here you go!

{Flashback}
Little Yuki Bakura sat on her suitcase, her short black hair framing green eyes. They weren't quite gold yet, but you could see the flecks. Ryou sat in front of his suitcase, clutching his blanket. The poor boy was crying again. This time it was because he had been abandoned. Their mother wasn't dead, but she had basically kicked her children out of the house.
The 9 and 7-year-olds were waiting for their cousin, their dad's sister's eldest son, who would be taking care of them, until their mother decided she was just being stupid, and wanted her only living blood-relatives back.
"Yuki?"
"What, Ryou?"
"When's Sable going to get here?"
Yuki sighed. Her poor brother. Sable was only 19, but since he was living on his inheritance, she wasn't worried. The British-speaking Irish man was air headed, but what he lacked in brains, he made up for in money. His workers were always well-trained.
"He should be here soon. The flight came in early," she stopped, and snickered, "Actually, the NANNY he hired to watch us will be here soon."
"Yuki?"
"Yes?"
"I'm scarred."
The young girl inhaled sharply. She wasn't used to dealing with her sad brother. Her mom was always there to do that.
"And why's that?"
The two young Bakura's jumped and flipped around.
Behind them stood a tall man with a long face, and the trademark white hair of the Bakura's. He was a true albino, with red-violet eyes. Since he'd once lived in Britain, his skin was pale. At this time, he was wearing a long black cloak with a hood that was pulled up, "Hey, cous!" he grinned.
Ryou's eyes lit up and he scampered to the boy behind him "Sable!" he squealed.
A smile lit Yuki's once cold face, "Hey, Sable! What's with the cloak? Aren't you roasting?"
Sable shook his head, "Egypt's not that hot right now. Only 85°."
Yuki gaped, "It's December! It's so cold back home!"
Sable smiled, setting Ryou down, "Why do you think I moved away from Britain? I love the warm weather!" as if to make his point, he spread his cloaked arms.
"Yeah, not like you burn like a French fry if you go in the sun unprotected."
Sable stared at his cousin, "You've spent way to much time around your mother."
"Why do you think I came willingly?" she replied, grimacing.
"And question; why did you come to get us, and not one of your workers?"
Sable, confused, grinned, "I'm saving money. Plus, I want to see my favorite cousins!"
Yuki shrugged, "Alright. I'm hungry. Let's go."
The elder boy smiled kindly, "The cars out front. I'll show you the place, but first, we have to stop by someone's house so you ca n meet them."
Ryou looked up at the tall albino with wide-blue eyes, "Where?"
Sable's smile slipped for a moment, but neither of the children noticed, "They live under ground."
