"I guess you're right." Serenity continued her cleaning of the kitten. She began to lick the kittens face gently and tasted something salty. Looking down the labs noticed the kitten was crying.

"what's his story?" Serenity asked Joey quickly explained. After he was finished Serenity shook her head. They all had stories mostly back. But Yugi's well his happened when he was so young not like the rest of their pack who were almost fully grown when bad luck hit them and they met Yami. The lab siblings fell into a lapse of silence as Serenity licked Yugi in a motherly way and Joey watched. A sudden howled echoed through the apartment building signaling the arrival of their other friends Duke, Kaiba, Yami. Joey jumped up.

"GUYS YAMI,KAIBA,AND DUKE ARE BACK!" Joey barked loudly up the stairs. Instantly Mokuba appeared and screamed down the stairs. Joey couldn't wait for Yami to see Yugi…

Tristan walked down the stairs muttering the whole way down knowing this meeting of the pack was not going to go well at all. Would Yami let a kitten in their pack? God only knew. Then there was Kaiba to worry about. He definitely wouldn't want a kitten around to get into trouble and have to look after. But it was way too late to think about it now. Tea scurried around Tristan to get to see Yami. she loved Yami but she could never admit it. Mokuba stood at the door waiting intently on his older brother. Yugi blinked sleepily when he heard the howling in the distance.

"What's going on?" yawned the black kitten to Serenity.

"Oh the others are coming back." She smiled down at him. Nodding the group waited as a Kaiba the big brown great dane walked through the entrance to the building. Mokuba yipped happily and jumped at his brother playfully. Nipping at his ears.

"Welcome back big brother!" Mokuba barked tail wagging as he licked his brothers nose.

"Thank you Mokuba." Kaiba replied licking the black puppy back lovingly. Next through the door came Duke a well built black lab. Tristan and Joey jumped on the black lab.

"Hey Duke!" Joey growled playfully nipping playfully on the labs ear. Tristan crashed into Duke and the trio rolled around in the dirt on the floor like friends. The last dog through the door was a large black Pharaoh hound with blonde striped down his entire body.

"Hey Yami!" Tea smiled from where she sat beside Serenity.

"Hello Tea." Yami nodded with a smile to the terrier. Yami sat and watched his friends roll around on the floor playing till he noticed Joey. Joey wasn't supposed to be back this early it was his turn to go get food for the pack.

"Joey did you bring back food?" Yami asked raising an eyebrow at the golden lab. Joey stopped play fighting with Duke and Tristan and dropped his ears. Whining he hung his head.

"No I'm sorry Yami I got preoccupied." Adverting his eyes Joey looked away guiltily. Sighing Yami shook his head but he smiled all the same. The group sighed in annoyance but then again this was normal for the golden lab.

"Why am I not surprised that the Mutt got distracted by a squirrel?" Kaiba laughed loudly. Joey's head snapped around as he glared daggers at the great dane not one bit afraid of the size difference between the two of them.

"Shut up Kaiba! And I'm not a mutt!" Joey growled crouching down baring his fangs at Kaiba.

"Alright calm down you two." Serenity pleaded knowing that fights between the two could go on for hours on end.

"Well then tell us what made it you forget to get food?" Kaiba growled back at him with the hint of annoyance in his voice. Joey looked away again not looking at the larger dog. Yugi cleared his throat and padded forward feeling a sudden braveness in him to talk to the older dogs.

"I'm the reason he didn't get any food." Yugi said boldly puffing out his small chest. Trying to look bigger but it didn't help that everyone was bigger than him. Everyone looked over at Yugi and suddenly the brave feeling disappeared and Yugi shrank down feeling uneasy under the looks he was getting. Yami looked at the kitten amazed. Kaiba glared down at the kitten.

"And you are?"Kaiba demanded glaring down at the kitten. All the braveness vanished from inside the kitten as he shrank back and away toward Serenity. He lowered his head and flattened his head submissively to the dog over 5 times his size.

"y-yugi." The kitten replied looked Kaiba in the eye fearfully.

"And just how did you get here little one?" Yami piped up as he padded over to the kitten to check him over. Yami was amazed the kitten looked almost exactly like him. Yami began sniffing the kitten who went as still and rigid when he felt the warm breath of the other dog on his back.

"Uhm Joey saved me from being eaten by these other dogs and he brought me here…" Yugi muttered fidgeting nervously.

"Really now?" Yami straightened up and turned to the lab for confirmation. Joey whined and nodded.

"yeah Seto it's true." Mokuba chimed defending his friend. something clicked in Yugi's mind he remembered his mother saying about someone named Seto but for the love of him Yugi couldn't remember. Finally he remembered his mother wanted him to tell Seto that she was sorry she couldn't see him one last time.

"are you Seto?" yugi asked hesitantly. Not really wanting to get the larger dog angry seeing as he could if he wanted eat yugi in 2 bites.

"yeah what about it shrimp?" Seto growled at him. yugi puffed out his tail and back away in fear at the sudden change in the dogs attitude.

"come on Kaiba no need to be mean to the little guy." Duke advised he personally thought the cat was cute and looked like a little Yami when you looked at him closely.

"my mother wanted me to tell someone named Seto that she was sorry she couldn't see him one last time." Yugi said in barely above a whisper. The Danes eyes shot to yugi again. There was confusion and mistrust in them.

"what was your mother's name?" Kaiba demanded.

"uhm uhm….." yugi fumbled to remember the name the old man called his mother.

"well spit it out." Kaiba barked loudly making yugi flinch.

"stop it Kaiba." Yami said firmly fixing the dane with a stern glance.

"Kisara!" Yugi cried finally remembering his mother's name.

"Kisara…" Kaiba looked at the kitten in shock now. This kitten was Kisara's? it was shocking he didn't know that Kisara had been expecting kittens. But then again that would explain why he hadn't seen the white cat in over a month.

"was she your mother?" Kaiba asked more calmly. The kitten nodded back. So his guess was right. If so then… why would this kitten be here without his mother Kisara? It wasn't like Kisara to ever let something happen to her kittens if she had any.

"and where is your mother?" Kaiba wondered looking back at the kitten to see that it looked at the ground a sad look on his face. Not hearing an answer from the kitten does that mean that the white cat Kaiba loved was…dead? Yami looked at the kitten in surprise. Its mother must be dead then seeing as he didn't answer the question. But this kitten pulled at his heart, these kind of things didn't happen to cats it often happened to dogs sometimes. On that note Kiba turned around and stalked off anger and sadness poring off him. Mokuba backed away from his brother's scary aura and hid behind Serenity.

"well he took that well I guess." Tristan snorted as he scratched his ear with his hind leg and stretched. Joey nodded feeling sorry for the older dog for a moment. Duke who was really confused with what had happened just snorted and decided it was best to leave the kitten's past alone. Most pasts here were touchy subjects. Yami rolled his eyes and glanced over at the golden lab.

"we still need to get food to eat. So Joey Tristan Duke you will accompanying me to get some for the pack." Yami ordered.

"hey wait what about Yugi can he stay?" Tea asked; bring the conversation back to the kitten. Yami looked back at the kitten who looked back at him with hope and need in his amethyst eyes. Then Yami looked at all of the faces around him. Joey gave him the dumbest looking pleading look in the world with his big brown eyes. Serenity looked at him hopefully, Tristan nodded his wanting the kitten to stay, Duke just shrugged and smirked a dog smirk and nodded his acceptance of the kitten. Tea looked up at him waiting for him to decided what he wanted to do about the kitten. Even Mokuba was giving him a pleading look.

"Alright the kitten can stay." Yami laughed. There were yelps and barks of joy all throughout the room. Joey ran up to Yugi and licked him all over the kitten laughed and rolled over happily. Yugi looked back up at the pharaoh dog.

"thank you." he mouthed to him and Joey and Tristan nuzzled him.

Yami p.o.v.

Yami didn't really mind keeping the kitten in the pack. Everyone seemed love him and Yami was sure Kaiba would warm up to the black and yellow kitten sooner or later. Yami raised himself to his paws and lookout to the sky to see that the sun was still out.

"Joey, Tristan, Duke lets go. We need to get food before it get dark." Yami looked at the three mentioned who stopped playing with Yugi and sat up.

"Oh can Yugi come with us?" Joey begged jumping up and down his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Yami looked back out at the sky and saw they had a while till the sun completely set. They never hunted for food in the city at night, one because Dartz pack always hunted at night, two because New York was even more dangerous at night than during the day.

"alright but Joey he will be your responsibility." Yami warned as he nodded with his head for the group to follow him.

Joey p.o.v.

Joey nodded to the older pharaoh dog and followed behind Yami, Yugi fast on his heels. Tristan laughed at the scene before him but followed all the same. Joey was thrilled that Yugi was going to be part of the pack. He never had a doubt that Yami would let him stay. Yami had a special place in his heart for dogs and pups that had bad past in his pack. Yami looked back at him and nodded and took off running. Joey reached down and scooped Yugi up by the scruff of his neck and began running. Yugi curled up but allowed Joey to carry him. Tristan and Duke broke out into a run beside them. They reached their normal hunting territory and Joey sat the kitten on the ground. Yugi staggered for a moment but righted himself.

"ok Joey you search this alley with Duke and Yugi. Tristan and I will search the next alley over understand?" Yami said sternly looking Joey straight in the eye. Joey nodded. What did he not trust Joey or something? Yeah sure he had forgotten to get food a few times but he would never let anything happen to one of his friends. Not if he had a say in it. Tristan and Yami padded away to the other alley, Yugi watched them go confused.

"why are they leaving Joey?" Yugi looked up at him.

"well we need to get food and the best thing to do would be to split up and search. We need to get done before night fall." Joey informed him.

"oh, so what do we do?" the black kitten asked as he scuttled after Joey and Duke who began to sniff the trash around the alley.

"well Yugi use your nose to sniff out some food for us to eat." Duke answered. The kitten looked at them confused for a moment and watched them sniff around then seemed to get the idea of what to do. Then he went to investigate some trash bags for anything. Joey found it cute how he wiggled around to sniff food out. The kitten was learning fast that was good. Joey looked up into the sky as he walked to another bunch of boxes. It was getting darker they had to hurry before Dartz pack showed up. That pack had no head for rules. They would hunt in the area that was Yami's territory, they would attack the humans, and they would attack Joey and the others without warning. Duke wondered over his black nose to the ground. He shot Joey a look.

"how much longer we got?" the black lab asked as he nosed some more trash.

"one maybe less I'd say. We need to hurry and find something and get out of here." Joey said uneasily he was growing more nervous as the time ticked by. Joey continued to focus on the current task at hand and sniff around in the trash. His ears pricked up waiting for any noise that wasn't him, Duke or Yugi. He sighed the group wasn't having any luck tonight. The alley had been picked clean. The humans around here normally threw away lots of food. This area was what the humans called the cooking district were restaurants and food marts were located. That was one of the reasons Yami had chosen this area for hunting. If they could get food here without having to hurt the humans then everything was fine. The very thought of food made Joey's mouth water but he shook his head to clear his mind and continued sniffing around. Beside Joey, Duke's head shot up ad he looked behind him to where Yugi had been. Wait… HAD been, but now the small black kitten wasn't there anymore. Worried turned his ears in different directions trying to catch a sound of the kitten sniffing around or padding around.

"Hey! Joey, Duke is this what you're looking for?" an innocent small voice called from inside a big trash back. Something began to wiggle in the black fabric and out popped the black kitten dragging a plastic bag full of still warm hotdogs in buns. Both dogs sighed in relief of seeing the kitten alright and hadn't gotten into trouble. Duke sauntered over to Yugi and inspected the contents of the bag and yelped with glee.

"great job kit. There are enough in there to feed all of us twice!" Duke jumped up and yipped. Joey smiled and yipped along with him. Yugi sat proud of himself with his tiny chest puffed out. Both Joey and Duke licked him on the head as a reward for finding food for everyone. Yugi giggled and batted at the dogs playfully.

normal p.o.v.

"wait what time is it?" Joey suddenly remembered that they had a time limit here. both older dogs head shot up to look into the sky. The sun was gone and darkness had fallen. Panic soon set in on the 2 older dogs this was the time that the Dartz pack ruled they had to high tail it out of here now! Yugi looked up at them with a confused look. A warning howl came from the other alley that Yami and Tristan were hunting. All three animals looked in the direction of the howls. Yami and Tristan ran into the alley both had food in bags clamped firmly in their mouths.

"did you find anything?" Yami asked out of breath. Duke nosed the plastic bag full of hot dogs to Yami. Tristan dropped his bag of food and sniffed it.

"who found all this?" Tristan asked after he had counted the amount.

"believe it or not it was out newest little kitten that found it." Joey replied they all spoke in hushed whispers. Both Yami and Tristan looked up at the little kitten who smiled up at them still proud of doing something helpful.

"alright we should have enough food to last us a while. Now let us leave now." Yami picked his plastic bag of food up, Joey picked up the bag of hotdogs by the handle of the plastic bag, Tristan picked up his plastic bag. Duke nuzzled Yugi and picked him up gently by his scruff seeing as the small thing couldn't keep up with the pace of three running fully grown dogs. The small group turned toward the mouth of the alley to leave and return to the rest of their pack. The 4 dogs froze. At the mouth of the alley was Dartz pack. At the mouth was Rafael a blonde boxer, Valon a tan weimaraner, Alister an Anatolian Shepherd Dog with a redish tint to his fur, Also Malik the bronze Alsatian and Bakura the silver malamute. But what scared the group the most was who was behind the group of dogs behind them was Dartz the leader of the other pack. He was a Doberman pincher, black with 2 different colored eyes with a very bad reputation.

"well look what we found the Pharaoh and his little pack." Malik smiled evily over to Bakura who sat beside him. The moon came out from behind a cloud it had been hiding behind to see that the odd were 4 to 6. Not good.

"so who was the one that gave Malik here the new scar on his nose?" Alistar questioned looking at the dogs. The new pack observed the smaller pack before them seeing the advantage.

"hey Alistar I think it's that kitten in the black labs mouth there." Rafael motioned with his long head to Duke who back away with a snarl with Yugi still in his mouth.

"I'm not surprised only Malik could have been attacked by a Kitten." Valon scoffed. Marik snapped around to glare at the Weinaraner.

"easy now boys. I think we should pay more attention to what they have." Datz spoke up and his pack instantly fell silent and looked back at Yami, joey, Tristan, and duke. They noticed the food bags in their mouths.

"now would you be kind as to give us that food?" Dartz asked with an evil smirk on his muzzle.

"no this is ours and we aren't going to give them to you." Yami snarled to the Doberman. the dogs that dartz were well built and could out run Yami, and Joey and the others with ease seeing as they each had a load to carry. This wasn't good.

"Joey, on my signal you Duke and Tristan head back to the pack and sound the warning. I'm going to try and hold them off as long as I can." Yami muttered as he stood in a defensive position.

"you nuts! You can't take a 6 of them at once!" Duke argued back.

"We're not going to leave you back here by yourself man! Me and Tristan are staying!" Joey muttered back. Yami shook his head.

"no go! Get seto and hurry back." Yami said sternly. Yami looked back at the others they had broken looks on their faces. They were torn between staying and helping their leader of following his order. Yugi looked scared to death. Yami cursed himself for being so stupid as to try and hunt this late at night and bringing the kitten along.

"fine but the moment we get Kaiba we're coming back to get your Egyptian tail. So you better be alive." Tristan growled at him. Yami laughed but nodded all the same. As the group of dogs returned their attention to Dartz pack, Bakura and the others were beginning to advance on them.

"quit your muttering over there and hand over the food." Bakura ordered. Yami set down his bag of food and joey reached down and picked it up with his jaws. Duke placed Yugi on the ground for a brief moment clamped his jaws around Yugi's middle section and picked him up. That way when they ran it wouldn't hurt the kitten as much.

"back of Bakura or else." Yami snarled at them as the fur on his back stood up and his lips pulled back over his teeth revealing white sharp teeth he crouched low and growled menacingly. Yugi flinched at the sound that Yami was making. Valon took a step closer. That was one step too close. Yami launched into the air and attack the 6 dogs in front of him. he took the dogs in front of him by complete surprise. Yami Bit down hard on Rafaels neck fur.

"GO!" Yami yelled between his teeth as the fought against Rafael who twisted to try and get the Pharaoh hound of his back the others of Dartz's Pack jumped on them. Duke, Tristan and Joey took the second of distraction to take off.

"Maik! Bakura! Go after them their getting away to try and get reinforcements!" Dartz yelled as he tried to pull the hound off his boxer. The malamute and the Alsatian took off after the three that had ditched.

duke p.o.v.

The three of them ran as fast as their powerful legs could carry them. If they kept this speed they would get to the hideout in 2-3 minutes but that was enough time to badly injure even kill the Pharaoh hound. Duke pushed himself harder. Yugi whimpered from where he dangled from Duke's mouth. The poor kitten was in the middle of all this he shouldn't have to be but there was no way of helping that now. Duke was frantically trying to think of a way to even the odds against Dartz group. There was Malik, Bakura, Valon, Rafael, Alister, and Dartz that was 6. Against Duke, Tristan, Joey, Seto, and Joey that was 5. 6-5 they were still outnumbered. Mokuba couldn't fight he was too young and Serenity couldn't fight ether she had no experience. Tea couldn't fight she was too small to take on any of the larger dogs. Duke was brought out of his thought by the sound of barking and growling following them.

"oh no! Joey there are dogs following us!" Yugi yelled to the yellow lab. Joey stole a glance behind him.

"Crap! Its Malik and Bakura!" He snarled through the bags in his mouth. They were in the lead but not for long. Their territory was in sight. Tristan put in an extra burst of speed and darted ahead of Joey and Duke and disappeared into the apartment building. Joey and Duke close behind them. They entered the apartments and set down what they had in their mouths. Duke put yugi down gently. All three dogs raised their heads and howled in a low menacing way. Instantly Kaiba, Serenity and Mokuba appeared along with Tea in front of them.

"Mutt whats going on!" Kaiba demanded.

"Attacked…dartz….followed….by Malik….have to help….Yami!" Joey said between get heaving breaths. The Great Dane growled and rushed out of the building the three others on his heels.

"you guys find someplace to hide till we get back we don't know where the rest of Dartz pack is." Kaiba yelled over his shoulder as they disappeared into the night. Moments later snarling and growling and howls were heard in the night.

"after all the years of living here things were never like this." Tea whispered as she ushered the remaining dogs up the stairs and into the smaller apartments above. This night wasn't going to go well at all. All that Yugi could hope was that the others would come back in one piece.
