'Nagasaki train, arriving in 5 minutes,' you read off of the departure and arrival board. Your sister is only about 5 hours away by train from Domino city, but preparations for her departure took a while. Your dad is much older now, and so very worn down from the life he's had... Therefore, people needed to be called. You sent your sister a hefty amount of money to pay for some groceries to be sent to his home, as well as to have some nurses stop by occasionally to check how he was doing, if he was taking his medicine, and overall if his vitals were ok. Naoko had to explain a lot of this to him, but lucky she was good about being discreet. He was none the wiser that you had anything to do with the preparations. As for Sachi, there's not much you can do. You don't have access into her medical records, and she'd be very upset if you did anything to undermine the control she has of her life. Though you'd like to do something to help her too, that was a bridge that was hard to rebuild.
You look around the train station nervously. Various people come and go. Some carry luggage bags, obviously in a hurry to arrive somewhere. Others go with nothing more than a small briefcase. There's something about train stations that always puts you on edge. Right now, the nervousness over seeing your sister after so many years is your main concern. You wonder if you'll recognize her. If she'll recognize you! Had she painted her hair at all? Would your braided hairstyle make you look too differently? Would she still look like that sweet little 13 year old you left behind, or would she have the face of a young woman ready to face the world?
So many questions run through your head, you nearly miss the graceful figure walking through the doors of the luggage area, bags in tow. She looks around cautiously, apprehensive as she walks past strangers. When you catch sight of her shorter figure, tiptoeing to get a better look around and huffing when a man decides to stop right in front of her and get upset that she didn't move around him, you almost laugh. She's still scary as ever, as evidenced by the way the man begins to shuffle nervously in place as he tries to look for more reasons to insult her. You walk briskly over to help her out if she needs it, but her deadpan can make anyone run for the hills if they aren't prepared for it. She's a beauty, and usually all smiles. Anyone, even those who don't know her, can feel that personality radiate off her. So when she doesn't smile, it's like being really high up in the mountains all of a sudden. It's like lying down, and suddenly getting up too quickly. Her lack of smiles and warmth feels wrong, and the discomfort caused by that is more than just a little disorienting. You smirk as you sneak around the two figures- one shuffling and continuing to try to say why he deserves an apology; the other starring in annoyance, and blinking in such a slow manner the precious few times she does, one would think time slowed down around her. You quietly walk behind her and wrap one arm around her shoulder.
"Excuse me, sir? I believe you owe my sister here an apology." You glare at the man with such malice, his voice stills in a sudden squeak. Naoko continues deadpanning, practically not breathing as the man's confidence dies in his breath. In a quick flurry of movement, the man both curses your faces and begs for forgiveness as he scrambles away backwards as fast as he can. After a few seconds of starring at his retreating form, the figure under your arm behind to relax her taut muscles and looks up at you.
"(Y.N.)?" a quiet, soft voice asks. You turn towards her, staring at her much older, yet still identical face. The beauty mark under her left eye and her soft fair skin look exactly the same, but her eyes are older, the lines around her mouth just a tad bit more prominent. As she smiles, recognition washing over her too, you catch sight of the little curve of her lips that you know must have made all the boys back home wild with the intense desire to kiss her. A grin grows on your face, and the sides of your eyes crinkle with joy as it finally hits you that your baby sister is in front of you.
"Snow!" you exclaim as you wrap your other arm around her form and squeeze her as tightly as you can. You can hear her laugh, albeit with a bit of a struggle as she tries to breath, but you're so excited! You take two of her bags, her duffle bag, and one luggage case off of her hands, get a form grip of her fingers, and quickly yank her forward.
"I have so much to show you!" you yell over your shoulder as you drag her to your car. Right now, having your baby sister here in front of you, being in your home, and having so many things you want to show her at your fingertips... Well, not even the Kaiba brothers can ruin this for you!
Riiiiing~!
Ok, they may not be able to ruin it, but they maybe they might be able to dampen the day just a smidge...
