Chapter 3
Amane
When my sense of sight finally came back to me I counldn't remember what had happened but right then I was standing in the middle of a four way intersection watching police cars, ambulances, and passers by crowd around two cars that had crashed. I looked around until I could clearly see one of the cars...... my mom's car.
"Oh my gosh! That's my mom's car!" I exclaimed. No one seemed to hear me. I guess I could see why. Who would listen to a 12 year old kid at a time like this?
"No one can hear you." a voice behind me said. I turned around and saw a young woman no older than twenty-five standing in front of me. "I kinda noticed that." I said. I know that was rude but my mom's car is smashed right in the middle of the street. What do you expect?
"They can't see you either." she said. They couldn't see me? That's just nonsense.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well they can't see you," the lady said pointing at me, "but they can see you.", she said pointing to a stretcher that was covered with yellow.
"W-what?" I said.
"You were in the accident, remember, Amane?" the lady said. Until right then, I had forgotten that I was in that accident but when she reminded me the whole thing came rushing back to me.
"So...... I'm dead?! (the lady nodded) What happened to my mom?!" I asked. The lady pointed to another stretcher also covered with a yellow thingy (I don't know the technical term for it).
"No..... t-this, this can't be!" I said.
"It is, Amane." a familiar voice said. I turned back around and saw my mom (or the spirit of my mom). If I had the ability to burst into tears, I would've done so right then.
"Calm down, Amane," the lady said, "it's ok."
"No it's not!" I said. Right then I realized something, "How do you know my name?" I asked.
The lady smiled a warm, gentle smile, "I'm your gaurdian angel," she said, "Come now, it's time to go."
"Go where?" I asked.
"Where else? Heaven of course." she said. I had a friend who's Catholic so I knew of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. According to her Heaven is the most beautiful place ever (how she knows, I have no clue). But I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay and see what happens.
"You are not ready to go to Heaven?" my gaurdian angel asked.
I shook my head, "No," I said, "not yet."
"Fine. I'll come back later ok?" she said. I didn't hear her. I was too lost in thought to hear anything. It wasn't until about fifteen minutes later that I realized that they were gone.

Geez, it's been an hour already, what happened to them? There was an awkward silence in Hikaru's room. Leon and I just sat there watching him hoping soon he'd wake up. The silcence was broken when Leon went to the bathroom (ya I know, too much information but there was nothing else happening). About two minutes later the doorbell rang. Finally they were here! Since the bathroom was closer to the door, Leon beat me to answering the door.
"Mom?" he said shocked. Leon's mom was here? She wasn't going to come for at least another hour or so. I got to the door and saw Leon's mom hugging Leon and sobbing into his shoulder. When she saw me she said, "Oh, Bakura!". She let go of Leon and started hugging me and crying into my shoulder. Leon and I exchanged looks of confusion with each other and stayed silent. After Leon's mom pulled herself together she said, "Leon, Bakura, get in the car."
"But what about-" Leon began.
"Get in the car." she said. So we left Hikaru in the house and got into the car (we knew where Hikaru hid a key to his house so if we needed to get back in we knew how). What was going on? Leon's mom came into the car and started the car. Neither Leon or myself wanted to ask what was going on though we both wanted to know. We got to a four-way intersection where there appeared to be an accident of some sort but with all the people running around I couldn't tell. Leon's mom parked the car and got out so Leon and I followed.
"What are we doing here?" Leon asked. Either his mom didn't hear him or she ignored him and walked towards the police cars and up to one of the policemen. I watched as she and the policeman talked to see if I could pick up any clues as to what was going on. They seemed to look at me a couple of times. Oh no, my mother probably called Leon's mom and Leon's mom probably told the officer what had happened with Hikaru! At least that was the only conclusion I came up with before the police officer came up to me and asked, "Are you Ryou Bakura?"
"Yes." I said nervously. The officer looked at me closely.
"You're not in trouble with me so calm down." he said, "Are you related to Amane Bakura?" Amane? Why was he asking about her?
"She's my sister." I said. The officer nodded and looked at the ground for a while.
"Come with me." he said putting his arm on my shoulder. I looked back at Leon who looked absolutely clueless and was in the arms of his sobbing mother once again. Whatever I was going to find out right now wasn't going to be good.
The policeman was leading me through the crowds of reporters and medical doctors. I was still completely lost. "I'm guessing you know what happens when you drink or smoke right?" he asked. I simply nodded.
"Ok." he said. Finally we reached the center of the accident and I suddenly froze.
Before me was my mother's car badly damaged since another car ran into it.
"Oh ya, I should probably give you this." the officer said. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out........ Amane's necklace.
