Comments:
JudyNFran, thank you for the info, but that wasn't the idea behind the whole name thing. And yes, meanings are neat, and when you're looking up English characters, they're even more so. The correct definition isn't what the goal was. Kay?
Other than that, thanks everyone for reviewing! I'm glad people are actually liking Amane - although she doesn't really have a personality yet, does she?

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*

Chapter Five - Separation
- - -
"No! No go! Stay wit' Amane! Stay!" Blue eyes watered heavily as a little girl clung to the shirt of her older brother. "No go!" She sobbed.
"I hafta go." Ryou replied, trying to sooth his baby sister. "I'll come back, I promise." He hugged her, petting her off-white hair.
"No! No go!" Amane tried again, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him fiercely. "Amane want Woo to stay!"
"Honey." Hannah gently pried her daughter from her son. "Ryou has to go, it's his first day of school. You and I'll play while he's gone, okay? And then when he comes home after school you two can play together." She promised as she looked into the trembling sea coloured eyes.
"No." Amane whispered softly, trying one last time.
Ryou tugged on his mother's pant leg, wanting to see his sister. Hannah glanced at Anthony, who could only shrug helplessly. They knew their children were close, but they seemed to rely on the other and this new separation was going to be hard for them. Gently, Hannah set Amane on the floor again and her heart clenched when Amane immediately wrapped her arms around Ryou's waist, not wanting to let go.
"Stay." Amane whimpered quietly, relaxing when Ryou hugged her, gently running his fingers through her hair.
"Amane, I have to go to school." Ryou began gently, "Daddy says everybody goes and when you grow up, you'll go to school too. You get to do lots of fun stuff like painting and colouring, and there are toys in the classrooms that you can play with. There are other kids that go too, so you can make lots of friends to play with!" He explained.
Amane blinked up at him. "Amane go too!" She insisted.
Ryou giggled softly, "You're not big enough yet. And maybe not everybody likes it. I have to go to make sure it's safe for you! I'm your big brother and I have to protect you." He insisted, "How about if I go and then when I get home I'll tell you about it, so you can know if you like it or not?" He wondered, unknowing of the smiles passed between their parents.
Amane hesitated, thinking this over. "Pwomise? And then Woo pway wit Amane?"
Ryou smiled and nodded, "I promise, and then Roo will play with Amane." He drew a cross over his heart.
"Otay!" Amane nodded happily, hugging him one last time before letting go.
Anthony and Hannah shared a look of relief as Anthony grabbed Ryou's knapsack, "See you later." He kissed Hannah, then kissed Amane.
"Have fun at school Ryou!" Hannah knelt beside the boy and kissed his forehead. "And don't work too hard Tony." She waved the two off. When they where out of sight Hannah looked at Amane who was quiet. "Honey? Ryou will be back soon." She promised.
Amane sighed. "Miss Woo." She whispered.
