Chapter Two: An unlikely acquantince.
Yukari awoke to an unfamilar noise, yelling. She hadn't heard that sound since her adopted parents divorced. Groggily she dragged herself form bed and dressed before heading downstairs. The clock said it was eight in the morning. That didn't bother her, she usually woke up eariler, but jet lag had caught her, giving her an extra three hours to sleep.
"Kento! Out of this kitchen now before I hit you!" Rowen yelled, she blinked. What was going on? She got her answer when she walked into the kitchen, seeing the muscular teen stealing a doughnut. Boys, she shook her head.
"Good morning, Yukari." Rowen called then hit Kento hand with the fly swatter. Kento let go of the doughnut.
"Morning," She smiled brightly. Cye was cooking pancakes. The smell made a memory tug at her, but she left the memory of her foster mothers cooking in the back of her mind, knowing how it hurt to remember such things.
"Up for pancakes?" Cye smiled. She nodded and Cye flipped another out of the pan. A few other boys were up in the kitchen, sitting at the table as well, she noticed. One however caught her eye and another memory tugged for her to look at it for the answer to who he was. Auburn hair fell to his waist and hung perfectly straight. His teal eyes calm, but like stone as he sipped his tea. When he noticed his watcher, she looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes. This memory that she didn't want to see went to the back of her mind also.
"Oh, Yukari, you haven't met the others yet. This is Ryo, Sekhmet, Kale, and Anubis. And over there, that's Mia and Yulie. Everyone this is my sister, Yukari..." Rowen smirked, grabbing the girl by the shoulders and leading her to the table to sit next to Mia. Yukari was thankful to know there was atleast one girl here other than herself. She sended eyes one her and looked up to see the ones Rowen had called Kale, Sekhmet, Dais and Anubis look away from her. They looked older than Rowen, somehow Ancient. A whisper in her mind caught her attention and she forced it way to before it could speak.
"Yukari, you okay?" The one called Ryo asked. She looked up from her thoughts.
"Of course," she smiled. A great actress, Rowen noted. He knew his sister was upset, but she wouldn't show that to anyone in this room, barely even him.
After breakfast the boys went down to the lake. Rowen took Yukari with them to show her around. As soon as they were there the younger boys took to the water. She shook her head, sitting down on the bank to watch. The lake wasn't that big, maybe a couple miles each way, probably deeper than she cared to guess.
"Not swimming, Girl?" She turned to see Dais and Anubis walking over to her.
She shook her head, nearly having jumped from her skin after hearing Anubis speak.
"Have met before?" She asked the man, seriously.
He looked at her for a long moment, pondering her question. "No...other than this morning at breakfast...why?"
"I just got a feeling like I'd seen you somewhere before. Must have just been some wierd Deja Vou," She smiled. "Sorry to bother you."
He nodded.
"Yukari!!!!" Kento yelled. "C'mon!"
"No, thanks, Kento!" She called back.
"Oh no you don't!" Rowen and Sage were the ones who grabbed her, tossing her into the water, clothes and all.
She glared in fury but said nothing as she tossed off her shirt. Leaving her only in a one peice swim suit of a rich blue quartz and a pair of blue jean shorts. Her brother smirked.
"I thought you hated water, Yukari?" He teased.
"I do...but sense I'm already wet I might as well sw--" She looked over her shoulder. She was knee deep in the lake, standing on what she guessed was an under water rock, but suddenly a chain scrapped the rock near her ankle and she looked down as it wrapped it's way around her ankle. The last thing she heard before she fell backwards, and went under was her brother yelling her name. Then the sun that hung over the lake rippled and she realized she was being held under the water. It slowly sank away from her and she looked down at her ankle and saw the chain. Chain? Panick hit her first and her lungs started to burn. She reached down and tugged at the chain, her head spinning. The last thing she saw was a flash of a metal torrent cut the chain and a blue metal bodied boy grabbed her around her waist, heading to the surface, then things got black.
