Life In The Fast LaneBy Pop Flower Millenium (*singing* boys don't like girls, girls like cars and monkies! Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funky!)
Kaylynn poked her head out of her hiding spot, she'd been chased by some thugs and had managed to ditch them before they could steal her 'products' before she had the chance to sell them, she looked around and didn't find anyone there, so she crawled out and decided to head for home, stopping on the way at a dump site of hers to stash her stuff. Her baby brother was waiting for her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bakura slammed his fist into a wall and yelled for the umpteenth time and stood there staring sreight ahead of him, panting slightly, Malik rushed over to him and gripped his arm,
"please, Bakura, stop it! This won't help!" he pleaded, Bakura went slightly limp and sighed,
"I know, Malik, but what am I supposed to do?" he asked turning and wrapping his arms around the slim form of his lover, "I'm so scared that I've put you in danger. Rishido's not going to come back inside but that doesn't mean he won't come after you again. He'll keep changing terms until he gets what he wants. I'm so sorry." Malik put his head on Bakura's shoulder and closed his eyes,
"it's not your fault. You couldn't have predicted this would happen. Don't blame yourself, Bakura." Bakura smiled and looked down at the smaller and younger boy, he was always so gentle with Malik, but he would shed blood if anyone hurt him
"malik, you're far too good to me." Bakura said softly, holding him closer.

"joey, the fake warrant was enough, but now this?" Tristan hissed, his partner was picking the lock on the apartment of Kaylynn Raynnes, the girl who had once cut out someone's tongue when they stuck it out at her, "joey, if she comes home and catches us, she'll cream us!" but Joey wasn't listening, Tristan sighed raggedly and started pacing, waiting for the madness to end. It didn't. joey got the lock and they went in.
"no pills. No needles. No cans. Not even a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of alcohol. Her apartment's clean, Joey." Tristan said, looking at the blond, who had found another door, he opened it and stuck hi head in, the entered all the way,
"it's her bedroom, man." He called, Tristan rolled his eyes and ran to the doorway,
"Joey, don't touch nuthin." He warned, but joey was searching her drawers,
"aha!" he cried,
"what? Drugs?"
"No, a Jolly Rancher." Joey opened the candy up and popped it into his mouth, "cherry, my fave." He said with a smirk, Tristan only put his hands over his face and shook his head slowly. Joey looked past his friend and blinked,
"hey," he said, making Tristan peak out from behind his fingers, "what's in there?" he asked, pointing to the door across the hall from them, Tristan turned around and looked at it,
"I dunno." He answered,
"let's find out." Joey said, then he pushed past Tristan and opened the door, revealing a very clean, very well kept bedroom, complete with an occupant, "who the hell...?" joey muttered quietly as he pulled out his hand gun and walked slowly into the room,
"ah, Joey, is the gun really necessary? They're asleep." Tristan said following his friend. When they got to the bedside joey looked around the room fully,
"man, ya'd think she used this room like a shrine or something it's so clean."
"yea, I know what chya mean. And look at this guy..." Tristan said looking down at the pale skinned boy in the bed. He had ghostly white skin, and ivory colored hair, the blankets were pulled up under his chin and he was sleeping,
"he looks like a doll of some kind, don't he?" joey said, Tristan nodded,
"but, he's real. And I think he's sick. Look at how pale he is, and how shallow his breathing is. Wonder what he's doing here..."
"beats me, let's take him with us."
"what?" Tristan gasped out turing away from the figure in the bed to look at Joey, "are you nuts? Don't you think he'd be a little missed?"
"yea, but, if he needs a doctor, shouldn't we get him one?" joey asked, Tristan looked at the boy in the bed again, then sighed,
"you're right, Joey. Let's grab him." They moved closer to the bed,
"he looks light enough for one of us to carry him." Joey said, Tristan nodded,
"I'll do it." He said, but just as his hand was nearing the boy, a bullet shot through it. Tristan shot back away from the bed, crying out in pain,
"don't you touch him!" came a familiar female voice,
"uh-oh." Joey said nervously, then he turned his gaze towards the doorway, Kaylynn stood there, a silenced hand gun pointed at the two cops,
"you get away from him or I won't hesitate to end your misery!" she ordered, putting some more pressure on the trigger,
"who is he, Kaylynn?" joey asked, trying to help Tristan with his hand,
"he's my baby brother." She answered, making both boys look at her, "he's the reason I'm almost never around, I need money for an oporation for him. He's got an illness that'll end up killing him if I can't get that money. So, I do whatever it takes to earn it." Then she lowered her gun, "you two aren't even supposed to be in here. Jet didn't give you a warrant, Ishtaru did, and she's pretty pissed with you two. Now, get atta my apartment or they'll be carrying you out on a spatula!" she snapped, making the two boys run for the door, Kaylynn watched them go, then ran over to her brother and dropped her gun as she fell to her knees by his bedside, burying her head in the mattress and crying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seto walked down a deserted street, watching the stars in the sky as he did so, thinking of what he could do to help Kaylynn. He stopped walking when he heard something behind him. He turned and found several large men standing behind him, one armed with a piece of pipe, another with a chain and the other with nothing, the unarmed man stepped forward,
"hey, pal, you really shouldn't walk alone in this area, you might get hurt." He satd with a cruel grin, seto stepped back a bit,
"and you really shouldn't walk out in public with a face like that, you might hurt someone." He snapped, the man glared hard at him, then he reached back and pulled a blade out of his pocket and flicked it opened, yelling for the other two to run forward as well. Seto tensed up and readied himself to fight when a new person dove down from a fire escape and landed next to him, getting into a fighting stance. Seto looked at him, but didn't have too much time to see anything, he was dodging blows and blocking too quickly, the other boy that had appeared was doing more attacking. He had knocked the knife away from his attacker and was now delivering blows with an almost inhuman speed. Seto managed to get himself pinned against a wall, the man with the pipe grinningat him and raising the pipe. He swung it down, but found only the hard stone of the wall waiting for him, seto had ducked and swung one of his long legs up, delivering a swift blow to the man's balls, making him fall over groaning. The third man was sneaking up behind the boy helping seto bit didn't get the chance to do anything as a piece of pipe came down on his head. The boy turned around as the man fell and thanked seto, who nodded.
"Who are you?" seto asked, the boy smiled at him. Seto now had the chance to fully look him over; he was about seto's height, had ice-blue eyes but they shone brighter then seto's and seemed clerer, he had pale skin and shoulder length blond hair that was pulled back into a loose ponytail, he wore camaflage pants and a black tank top. He then spoke up, squirming under seto's intense gaze,
"my name is Li. And who are you?" he asked softly, not meeting seto's eyes,
"I'm seto." He answered, then he realized that he was staring and looked away, "sorry." He said quietly, Li nodded, then looked back up at the other boy,
"you know Kaylynn, don't you?" he asked, seto faultered, then nodded, "I thought so. She's always talking about a boy with ice blue eyes and an intense stare. I knew you were him. Has she mentioned anything about me?" he asked, sounding a little excited, seto thought for a second then recalled her once saying that if she'd ever been in trouble, a boy named Li had been there. Seto grinned then nodded,
"Yes, it seems to me I have heard your name before." Li grinned at him, then stopped, grin fading,
"has she told you about Ryou at all?"
"yes. She says he's getting worse."
"poor Kaylynn..." li said, bowing his head, "she'd die if anything happened to him..." seto nodded, then looked away, knowing she needed the money and now, he had an idea. He looked at li for a second then grinned, making the other boy stare aukwardly at him,
"what...?" he asked nervously.
