First, I corrected the last chapter. It said that it was chapter two, but
it was actually chapter three. Ahem.

Title: A Special Bond
Warnings: Character death, angst, it never happened in the show.
Pairings: I think there'll be a hint of Ryou + Malik
Disclaimer: Nobody except Anthony and Hannah Bakura belong to me.
Anthony I stole from 'Darkness Shall Corrupt the Innocent' and Hannah
from 'A Promise of Protection'.
Dedication: To Kari and Amane fans everywhere! But mostly for Kari. (And this is going to be the dedication until I delete it or the story ends. . .which ever comes first.)
Notes: I think it sucks. *shrugs*

"Come on Amane, say 'Mama'." Hannah cooed to the eleven-month old as she fed the baby girl mashed bananas.
"Ah!" Amane grinned and reached out for the spoon with her favourite food on it. "Eeh! Ah!" She giggled and opened her mouth, munching on the fruit happily.
Hannah laughed along with her daughter, though she calmed slightly as she sighed, wishing her husband was there to watch her grow up. Anthony was off on one of his archeological finds. He rarely ever actually went to the site location because he wanted to be with his family, it was nice being the boss. This trip had needed his personal attention though so he couldn't refuse. He'd be back soon though.
"Daddy's going to be surprised to see his little girl so grown up!" Hannah gently tickled Amane's chin, making the baby laugh again. Hannah smiled and glanced at the clock, frowning slightly. "We've gotta give you guys a bath or we'll be late to see Pappy and Nana tonight." She picked Amane up after putting the dishes into the sink and cleaned her chubby face. Together they went upstairs to the bathroom but stopped off at Ryou's room. "Ryou? Honey?" Hannah knocked before entering. Inside she found the lights off, except for the nightlight in the corner of the room and Ryou was fast asleep in his bed.
Hannah smiled gently at the peaceful boy, and then looked at Amane, "Your crying last night kept him up." She scolded playfully, wagging her finger at Amane. The little girl giggled and tried to grab the finger, causing Hannah to laugh and she gently kissed Amane's forehead. "Well, let's wake him up." She stated and she carried Amane into the room. Cradling Amane with one arm, she sat down on the bed beside the immobile body. "Ryou." She spoke softly as she gently ran her fingers through his hair. "Time to get up baby." She sang lightly.
Amane, seeing that her brother was not waking up, pouted slightly. "Ah!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
Ryou's eyes flew open and he glared at the baby. "I was twying to seep Amane!" He groaned in annoyance, but forced himself into a sitting position. "Hi Mommy." He said shyly.
Hannah smiled, "Hey baby. Ready for a bath?" She wondered.
"Yeah." Ryou nodded as he slowly crawled off the bed. He went over to the nightlight and shut it off, then back to the door and followed his mother to the bathroom. Once there, Hannah set Amane on the floor beside her brother and while she ran the water for the bath, Ryou helped Amane get undressed. Once Ryou had struggled with her, he pulled off his own clothes and waited for the bath to finish.
"It's ready!" Hannah looked back at the two. She smiled as she picked Amane up, and carefully set her in the warm water. With the baby settled, grasping the rubber ducky from the basket of toys, Hannah helped Ryou climb over the edge. The two played for a little while, Ryou with a toy boat, Amane with her ducky, then Hannah helped them get clean. Amane took a liking to the shampoo and decided to see what it tasted like. Ryou giggled as his sister realized she didn't like it anymore.
"Mommy! I'm wrinkly!" Ryou exclaimed, holding up his hands for her to see.
"My, are you ever!" Hannah smiled and plucked Ryou out of the tub. She set him on the floor beside the tub, making sure she could watch Amane at the same time. A towel was grabbed from the towel rack and wrapped around the boy's shivering body. After struggling to dry Ryou's hair, for the boy hated his face being covered by anything so he tried to duck out of the way every time the towel would come near, Hannah poke his nose. "Go get dressed and Amane and I'll be out in a minute." She said.
"Kay." Ryou nodded, cuddling the lavender towel to his neck to keep warm as he made his way toward the door.
Amane, who could no longer see her big brother because of the bathtub, began to fuss. "Ah!" She cried, trying to get his attention. She twisted her tiny face up in protest.
"Shh Amane, we'll be done in a minute." Hannah promised and tried to help the little girl rinse her hair, but Amane would have nothing of it as she tried to stand up but fell back down, the water cushioning her fall.
"Uh!" She sniffled, big eyes welling up with tears. "Unh! Ooo. . .Woo! Wyou!" She cried out, beginning to sob.
Hannah stopped trying to comfort the child and just looked at her, then she began to laugh. Ryou had stopped at the door and was looking rather confused. Hannah saw this and chuckled harder, "She said your name!"
"She did?" Ryou's expression changed and he grinned as he ran back to the tub. He peered over the side to look at his sister. Amane had her fists balled up against her eyes as she tried to stop her crying. "Did you say my name Amane?" He asked.
She looked up at him, beaming once she realized he had come back. "Wyou!" She held out her arms, wanting him to pick her up. "Woo!"
