Kaily went pale, and a gasp went up in the crowd. Yugi was about as pale, and Aurora bolted from her spot between Mokuba and Serenity and into her older sister's arms. Kaily wrapped her arms around the child, who began sobbing into her shirt,"Shh, it's ok, Ror, it's ok."
"No,"Aurora sobbed,"it's not ok! They're taking you away!"
Kaily planted a gentle kiss on the girl's head,"It's only for a month, I'll be fine. I probably deserve a lot more than what he gave me, and, atleast you'll be able to stay with me." Aurora nodded. "Now, promsie you'll behave for Mom, Gramps, and Yugi."
Aurora nodded,"I promise."
"Now, go, I'll be back soon."Kaily pushed the girl away from her and bent down to look her in the eyes,"I love you 'rora."
Aurora wiped a tear out of her eye,"Come back soon."
Mai walked up behind them and picked Aurora up,"We'll be waiting for you, Kaily."
Kaily nodded,"Thanks mom."
Yugi then joined them, tears threatening his own eyes. Kaily chuckled,"Yugi, don't start, you'll make me cry, and the last thing I need is my reputation being trashed any more than it already is."
Yugi playfully made a face her,"Easy for you to say."
Kaily shook her head,"No, it's not. Just, do me one favor?"
Yugi nodded,"What?"
"Take care of the others."Kaily put a hand on the boy's shoulder,"Someone needs to keep them in line, especially Joey and Tristan."
Yugi snarled angrily,"Not him."
Kaily gave him the best serious face she could muster with the tears threatening her eyes,"Yugi Mutou, if you two don't make up by the time I get back I will break your arms, understood?"
Yugi nodded,"Understood."
Kaily pulled her twin into a tight hug,"Love ya, bro."
Yugi returned the embrace,"Take care of yourself, brat, and, hold onto those cards." They stayed like that for a minute, till Joey and Tristan stepped in. Yugi let out a low snarl and walked off.
"I'm going to break your arm if you two don't make up by the time I get back."Kaily threatened, twisting Joey's arm dangerously.
"Ow, ow, ow, leggo!"Joey yelped. Kaily released him. "Thanks."
"Baka."Kaily mutter,"Just promsie you two won't get in any trouble, please?" Both boys gave them an 'are-you-absolutely-insane?' look. "Ask a stupid question. Ok, just don't get yourselves killed, that's my job."
Tristan brought his hand up and hit her in the head,"Baka no guardian."
"Takes one to know one."Kaily sneered.
"Just don't let those thugs push ya 'round."Joey teased.
"More like don't push them around too much."Tristan corrected.
Kaily shook her head,"You two are hopeless, you know that?" Both boys nodded. "Oh, brother."
The two boys pulled her into a tight hug, but, as soon as Kaily's boot connected with Tristan's shin, they let go. At that moment a police officer came up and took Kaily by the wrists,"Let's go."
Kaily nodded and took off the Millenium Ring and Guardian's Flute,"Take care of these." She put the Ring around Joey's neck and the Flute around Tristan's,"Ok, I'm ready."
The officer nodded and guided her away.
Amane got close to fainting,'I don't beleive it.' She just stood there in shock for a few minutes at everything she'd just seen and heard, not only had her penpal been abused much the way she had, but she'd also had her family torn apart several times. She looked at the beer bottle in her hand,'I hope Kail will be ok.'
One week later
Yugi watched Mokuba and Aurora playing Wizard's Chess, or, as Kaily had dubbed it, Duelist's Chess. He let out a low moan at Kaily's memory,'Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!'
"You ok, Yugi?"
He spun around to find himself looking into Kaiba's eyes,"Kaiba?"
Yugi nodded,"Just worried about Kaily."
"We all are."the CEO shook his head,"Just remember what Yuga and Yami said, you're everything Kail isn't, and vice versa. She's a violent tomboy with an attitude to rival mine. She'll be fine, she is, after all, your sister, and I've never seen someone as stubborn as you, besides that short tempered brat."
"Thanks, Kaiba. How's Aurora doing?"
"Still depressed about Kail, but she's doing better."
"I think we're all a little depressed. None of us can wait for her to come back, especially me and Aurora."
Joey watched Bakahno pace back and forth in front of him,"Will ya stop already? Yer makin' me nervous."
"You're not the only one."Serenity shook her head as she fingered the Millenium Eye,"I miss Kaily."
"Be thankful you don't have two yamis worried sick about you."Bakahno grumbled,"It feels almost eerie not having that brat rampaging through my soul room every time she needs a new spell."
"What do you think she's doing right now?"Serenity asked,"I can't find her with my Millenium Eye."
"Knowing her,"Bakahno couldn't help but grin,"she probably already rules that hell house."
The day after the trial
Kaily combed her fingers through her black and red hair as she picked at the slop they called food,"This isn't food, this is one of Mokuba and Aurora's experiments."
"Hey, chick." She looked up to see a big teenage guy standing over her. "You're in my seat."
"And?"Kaily asked dryly.
"Move."
Kaily pretended to think about it,"Um, no."
"Why you!!"he tried to punch her, only to miss and fall face first into the 'experiment',"ACK!!"
Kaily smirked,"Care to try that again?"
He pulled himself to his feet and tried for another punch, only to collide with Kaily's foot. The guardian fell to her knee and knocked the boy off his feet,"Don't pick a fight with the queen of gang land."
"Wait a minute."the boy looked up at her,"You're Kail!?"
"No shit, Sherlock."Kaily crossed her arms and glared down at him.
"Aiiee!!!"he jumped to his feet and ran for all he was worth.
"So, the famous Kail finally got caught." She looked up, again, this time to see a young man with dark green hair a cat-like black eyes (Can anyone guess the cameo?) standing over her.
"And you are?"Kaily asked dryly.
"A friend." he held out a hand to help her up,"Listen, how long you here for?"
"A month, just for theft."Kaily shrugged,"Why?"
"You might wanna be careful, the guys around here can be a pain."the boy grinned.
"What's your name?"
"Kusanagi, I already know yours."Kusanagi sat down on the bench next to her,"Anything you need, just ask and I can hook you up."
Kaily got a thoughtful look in her eyes for a moment,"Well, there is something I wanted to do."
"I'm listening."
Back to the present
Yuga paced back and forth in her soul room, needless to say, she was worried, both about her abiou and her lover, mostly her lover, who, she knew, would end up fighting with Joey at some point or another.
//Will you quit doing that?//Tristan mentally wined,//You're making me nervous.//
/Stop playing attention to me./Yuga replied simply,"Baka mortal."
//Ok, it's just stress.//Tristan grumbled,//Without Kaily around Joey and I have to double our guard.//
/Yeah,/Yuga grinned,/I wonder how many people she's beaten up so far./
//Care to make bets?//Tristan asked.
/Three hundred dollars says she gets over twenty./
//Fifty.//Yuga didn't need to see Tristan's face to know he was grinning. //Fify people, double or nothin.//
/Deal./
Kaily brushed a strand of golden hair out of her face as she scrubbed the floor angrily,"Ugh, I HATE this."
"Give it a rest, Kail."Kusanagi grumbled,"You're used to this."
"Be that as it may,"Kaily dunked the scrub brush she'd been using in a bucket next to her, splashing Kusanagi in the process,"this place hasn't been cleaned properly in months."
"Hey!"Kusanagi splashed her back, but, she ducked and the water ended up hitting a big guy with bleach blond hair.
"HEY!!!"
Needless to say an all out water war broke out among the five teens that had been cleaning at the time. Buckets of water were thrown, as well as insults, and Kaily and Kusanagi threw the buckets themselves. Suddenly a big buket of white liquid came down on Kaily, turning everything but her gold bangs and a stripe of black under her hair tie white.
Kaily paled slightly,"Tell me that's not what I think it is."
Kusanagi took a clump of her hair and sniffed it,"Ack, it's bleach all right."
"ARG!!!"
"No,"Aurora sobbed,"it's not ok! They're taking you away!"
Kaily planted a gentle kiss on the girl's head,"It's only for a month, I'll be fine. I probably deserve a lot more than what he gave me, and, atleast you'll be able to stay with me." Aurora nodded. "Now, promsie you'll behave for Mom, Gramps, and Yugi."
