"Someone explain to me what we're doing wandering around the mall."Kaily groaned.
"We've got nothing better to do."Yugi shrugged,"Unless you WANT to go to jail along with getting suspended."
"Point taken."Kaily looked lazily around,"What I wouldn't give for a theme park right now."
"What's a theme park?"Yuga and Yami both asked.
The Mutou twins exchanged glances,"You don't know what a theme park is?"
"No."
"You poor deprived yamis."Yugi shook his head,"I just figured out where we're going for Christmas break."
"Where?"Kaily was too busy looking for a place to eat to really think at the time.
"The theme park capital of the world,"Yugi smirked,"The United States."
"You have ANY idea how much it will cost to take,"Kaily began ticking stuff off on her scarred fingers,"twelve people half way around the world, go to a bunch of theme parks, AND have hotels to stay at, every night?"
"Kail, we OWN Industrial Illusions."Yugi rolled his eyes,"Ok...."
Kaily, Yuga, and Yami followed the puzzle holder's gaze,"Huh?"
He was looking at a pet shop. In the window two puppies were wrestling around in their pen. The trio exchanged glances, the walked over to the window. The two puppies immediately stopped and sat down, looking at the foursome. Kaily smiled lightly,"It's them."
She and Yugi walked into the shop and picked the puppies out of the pen. One was pitch black and had a white star on her forehead, and the other was white with a black star. The two puppies immediately curled up in their owners arms.
"Well, I'l be.."the shop owner walked up,"Those two have been here two weeks and bitten every person who's held them."
"How much are they?"Kaily asked lightly.
"Two hundred bucks,"the twins shrugged lazily,"each."
Kaily set the former Tallen on her shoulder and walked around the pet shop. Her eyes fell on a box of kittens, and a cheetah cub. She picked up said cat, much to Tallen's annoyance, and walked over to Yugi,'I found Delilah, you find Dayuen. Avalon is probably already back at the mansion waiting for us.'
Yugi nodded and set off to search for the jackel. The shop owner gave Kaily a quizzical look,"That cat's another two hundred."
"She's not even a purebreed."Kaily scoffed,"She's only worth a hundred, at the most!"
'Liar!'Yugi mentally yelled,'Found him.' He returned with a grey jackel pup in his arms and Storm sitting on his head, flattening out his hair,"And this one?"
"Three hundred, jackel pups are very rare."the shop keeper smirked,'These punks'll never ba able to afford all that, nine hundred bucks."
"Here you go."Kaily pulled nine hundred dollar bills out of the backpack slung over her shoulder and handed them to the stunned man,"Let's go Yugi."
"So, what's this big suprise?"T'ea asked, looking around the room Kaily and Serenity were sharing.
"You'll see."Kaily paced the room,"Where the hell is Joey?" The rest of the room shurgged. "He's dead meat when he gets here."
"Do you threaten everyone you're close to?"Bakaho asked dryly.
"What do you think?"Yugi flopped down next to T'ea on his sister's bed,"She threatens me on a daily basis."
"Sorry I'm late!"Joey raced into the room, crashing into Kaily in the process,"Sorry again!"
"Get off me you big lumox."Kaily shoved the guardian off her,"Now that everyone's here...." She got up, walked over to her closet, and opened it.
Delilah immediately bolted out of the closet, up Yugi's leg, and into T'ea's arms. Dayuen wasn't far behind, hitting Tristan, who'd been dumb enough to stand in front of a window, so hard he almost fell out the window. Avalon just lazily flew out and landed on Joey's head. Tallen and Storm easily found their places on their masters' heads and were soon fast asleep.
"Whoa, is this some kind of joke?"Tristan looked Dayeun over.
"No,"Yuga rolled her eyes,"we told you they'd be back. When Yami and I were still little these hair balls were assigned to protect us, and, now they will protect you, till the day you die."
"Oh, great, so we're stuck with them?"Serenity teased.
"Very funny, Serenity."Joey stroked the falcon on his head,"Why's Avalon older than the others?"
"Because he always was, even as Yafue."Yami shrugged,"Tallen and Storm were the youngest, just like me and Yugorana."
"Why is it when you're just talking about eachother you use the shorter forms of your names, but, when you talk about the past, you use your true names?"T'ea questioned.
"Because, in a way, Yu-Gi-Oh and Yugorana are different people than Yami and Yuga."Kaily shrugged.
"And what about Bakahno?"Serenity added.
"What is this,"said tomb robber snapped,"twenty questions?!"
"Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the soul room."Joey muttered.
"Or he just woke up IN the wrong soul room."Yami snickered.
"YAMI!!!!!!!!"Bakahno and Yuga both snapped, turning bright red.
"Oh brother."Tristan rolled his eyes.
"This is my weird and crazy life."Kaily slapped her forehead.
Kaily gave an annoyed snarl and hit her laptop again,"Piece of junk."
"If you're going to sit on my desk then could you at least not yell at your computer?"Kaiba growled at the girl sitting on HIS desk,"What the heck is wrong it this time?"
"Why do you care?"Kaily teased,"It's just fritzing out again, nothing serious."
*BEEP BEEP*
Kaiba reached over and pushed a button on his phone,"What?"
"There is a couple here claiming to be Mistress Kail's parents."Croquet's voice came over the intercom.
"Names please."Kaily said dryly.
"Angeline and Darien....."
Kaily spit out the soda she'd been chugging down, she didn't need to hear the last names,"WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS UNHOLY ARE THOSE TWO DOING HERE?!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kaiba cringed,'She's mad.' "Don't you mean all things holy?"
"Do you REALLY want me to answer that?"Kaily hissed.
"Do you want me to send them up?"Croquet asked.
"HELL NO!"Kaily snapped,"Have security escort them to the edge of town immediately!"
"Um, too late."Kaiba muttered.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TOO LATE?!"Kaily snapped.
"Kaily!!"
Said teen turned her attention to the door, where a young woman with a disturbing resemblance to Mai and a large man with spiked blue hair stood in the doorway,"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!!"
Kaiba looked warily at the glass windows behind him, which were beginning to shake with Kaily's yelling,"Want me to call security?"
"No,"Kaily left her perch,"but I sugest you call Mom, Gramps, and Yugi. They'll love this."
"Mom?!"Angeline almost shreiked,"I am your mother!"
"No, you're just the bitch that kidnapped me and tore my life apart!"Kaily spat angrily.
"How dare you speak to your mother that way!"Darien retorted.
"SHE IS NOT MY MOTHER!"Kaiba was really suprised nothing had been thrown or shattered yet as he quickly dialed the number of the Mutou mansion.
"Why you little....."Daried moved to punch her, only to have her duck down and give him a well placed kick between the legs (I've gotta be REALLY caredful about what I type, my mother's looking over my shoulder as I write)
'That guy must have a death wish,'Kaiba mused,'taking on Kail like that.'
Across town
Yugi looked up as the phone began to ring. Across the room Serenity grabbed it,"Hello, Mutou residence, Serenity speaking................Seto!..................Sure, we'll be there in a little while, what's going on?..................Ugh." Yugi, Joey, and Solomon looked up worriedly. "Kail's step parents are in town."
"Say no more."Mai walked into the room,"Yugi, do you think you could teleport us over to Kaiba corp?"
"I can try,"Yugi shrugged,"but no guarantees." His eyes glowed for a moment, then, next thing anyone knew, they were standing outside Kaiba's office.
Kaily was standing on Darien's back, holding up Angeline by the collar,"'Bout time, I thought you'd never get here."
Joey looked from Kaily, to Darien, then back to Kaily,"What the........?"
Kaily rolled her violet (for some reason I keep wanting to type violeNt, I wonder why :P) eyes,"I'll explain later."
"We've got nothing better to do."Yugi shrugged,"Unless you WANT to go to jail along with getting suspended."
