"Kail, Kail, wake up."
Kaily's eyes fluttered open to see a pair of black cat-like eyes about half an inch from her own,"ACK!!" Without thinking she brought her hand up and slapped the face away from her.
Kusanagi rubbed his jaw,"Ow, man, you hit like a cannon ball."
"God damnit, Kusanagi!!"Kaily yelled angrily,"How many times have I told you not to do that!"
"Sorry,"Kusanagi mumbled, looking the teen over,"but I'd expect you to be excited."
"About what?"Kaily asked, blowing a strand of golden hair out of her eyes,"Being stuck in this hell hole?"
"You're going home today!"Kusanagi yelled,"Or have you forgetten what it is like outside this rat trap."
Kaily went wide eyed, which hurt quite a bit considering her eye was bruised from a fight a few days ago,"Ow."
Kusanagi chuckled and looked the guardian over, and realized just how much she'd changed in the last month. Her once black and red hair was now white, and tipped with ice blue, a side affect of the bleach that had been dumped on her head a few weeks ealier, but, that barely showed compared to her face and back. She'd had the scar on her face lined with red, and a line of red came down from the scar, near her eye, making it look like a tear of blood. Another tattoo/scar crossed her scar at her cheek and had another line of red coming from the lower tip.
Kaily, feeling his gaze, felt the scar/tattoo on her face,"I can't wait to see Mom's face."
"Well, atleast now you'll be free of this place."Kusanagi faked a smile,"I'm stuck here."
"What're you in for, anyway?"Kaily asked, pulling her legs up to her chest,"I mean, I've been here a month and I still know next to nothing about you."
Kusanagi shook his head,"All you need to know is that I'm in here for attempted murder and theft."
"How long have you been here?"Kaily asked, almost warily.
"Eight years."
Kaily's jaw dropped,"You've been here since you were eight?!"
Kusanagi nodded,"Yeah, I was born in gang land, and I've been taking care of myself since I was three years old. I would steal what food I could and I would sell myself to gangs for money and food. I'd do anything they told me. Then, one day, I made the biggest mistake of my life, I made a deal with Darien Deshora. He hired me to steal something from Cecelia Pegasus. We broke into her room, and I, of course, got duped into holding the gun. The guards came in, Darien vanished before they even came, the next thing I knew I was being carted off to juvie hall. I've been here ever since."
Kaily nodded,"I know how that is. I remember living in gang land as a girl, living off whatever I could find. I know I had it pretty good, with Joey and Tristan looking after me, but it was still hard."
"Ok, girl, you're free."a guard walked up and opened the cell,"Kusanagi, how'd you get in here?"
"No matter,"Kaily pulled her hair back into a high pony-tail,"tell me, is Croquet here?"
"Of course, Miss Pegasus."said body guard joined them in the cell,"My god...."
Kusanagi went wide eyed, and tried, to no avail, to find words. Kaily smiled,"Yes, Croquet, I've changed, now, can we please, can we go home?"
"Of course."Croquet bowed and guided her out of the jail. As soon as they were in the limo Croquet turned back to him,"Is something on your mind, Kaily?"
"Once we get home,"Kaily looked down at the duel monsters cards in her hands,"could you please call the juvenile detention center and ask to pay Kusanagi's bail. If they ask, tell them I wish to hire him as my brother's personal body guard, Kemo is getting to old to protect him, expecially after I let out that Yugi is related to me."
"Of course,"Croquet smiled,"I see you've made friends."
"One,"Kaily looked out the window,"tell me, do you remember a boy breaking into Cecelia's room eight years ago?"
"Yes,"Croquet gave her a sideways glance,"something told me he was abandoned, wasn't he?"
"Yes, Kusanagi was abandoned by Darien,"Kaily explained,"he was the one trying to kill Cecelia, not Kusanagi."
"I see."
"So, what has happened since I left?"
"Yugi is back in school, and he's chased Joey out of the mansion. Mai is dating again, Solomon is out of town on a business trip, Tristan and Joey's girlfriends have vanished, Aurora has been staying at the Kaiba mansion, and everything is going right on scheduel with the upcoming release of Dungeon Dice Monster and the new Duel Monsters cards."
Kaily nodded,"I see. Speaking of Duel Monsters, have you finished the special cards I gave you?"
"Of course."Croquet handed gold box to her,"Where to?"
"Domino High,"Kaily grinned,"I want to see Yugi's face."
"Of course."
"Would you quit saying that?"
"Of course."
"CROQUET!"
"Sorry, I just had to do that."
"Just stop by the mansion first, I REALLY want to get out of these idiotic jail uniforms."
"Of course."
"CROQUET!!!!!!!!!"
Yugi slammed his locker shut and shoved a too thick book in his backpack,'Ugh.'
"Hey, Yugi-boy." He spun around to see a two big thugs standing behind him. "We've got a score to settle."
"What are you talking about?"Yugi asked, stepping back.
"Not with you, with Kail."the bigger one sneered,"Everyone knows about your relationship with the Pegasus wench."
Yugi let out a low moan,'I love you too, Kaily.' "Kail is just a friend." 'And a sister.'
Yugi was answered by a punch in the face, and he was sent sprawling,"You're nothing without Kail."
Yugi got back on his feet, only to be grabbed by the collar and slammed up against a locker. Immediately the two boys began to deliver punch after punch. Suddenly both boys were pulled back by the collars and Yugi slid to the floor. He looked up to see a girl with white and blue hair beating the crap out of both boys.
"Now,"Kaily snarled,"if I EVER see you near Yugi again I swear I'll do more than just kick your sorry asses." The two boys bolted for the door, and Kaily turned her amethyst eyes on Yugi,"You ok?"
Yugi nodded, then, he saw it, her eyes, his eyes,"Kaily?!"
The guardian nodded,"Long time no see, Yugi."
"What happened to you?"Yugi stared, wide eyed, at his former look-alike.
"Long story."Kaily grinned, pulling him to his feet,"I missed you."
"Same here."Yugi nodded,"Want me to call the others?"
"Please do."Kaily pulled her twin into a hug, then pushed him back and grabbed his arm,"Now, what's this about you chasing Joey out of the house?"
"Eep." *snap!* Yugi's arm broke in his sister's hands. He let out a pained wimper,"Ow..."
"I told you...."Kaily snarled.
Yugi just wimpered painfully,"I didn't think you were serious."
"I love you, Yugi, you know that, but I CANNOT stand watching the two greatest guys in my life at eachother's throats. And, don't worry, Joey'll get the same treatment. Come on, I'll bandage you up on the way home."
Yugi nodded,"It's nice to have you back, and painful."
Kaily chuckled,"So, what's this I hear about mommy dearest dating?"
*RRRRING!!*
Bakahno grabbed the phone,"What?!.........Oh, shut up, Mutou.............Kail?!.........Hallelujah! Priase the gods, I'm saved!! We'll be there in an hour!!" He slammed the phone down and had to step on his own foot to keep from dancing around and singing "Joy To The World". "JOEY!!!!!!! SERENITY!!!!!! GET DOWN HERE!!!!!!!!!"
A loud thump was heard, probably Joey falling out of bed, or Serenity pulling him out, and, a few seconds later, both teens bolted into the room,"What?!"
"You'll be pleased to know Kail's back."Bakahno grinned.
A VERY loud whoop of joy went up from both teens and they bolted out the door. Bakahno just shook his head and retreated to his soul room.
*Beep beep*
Tristan grabbed T'ea's cell phone out of her purse before she could even move,"Yugi, where are you? We've been waiting for the last half hour!"
"HEY!"T'ea shouted,"That's MY phone!"
"You're kidding, right?!"a HUGE grin suddenly spread across the boy's face,"ALRIGHT!!!!!! We'll be there in a little while." *click* He threw the phone in the air with a loud joyus,"AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
T'ea caught her phone just before it hit the pavement,"HEY!! CAREFUL!!"
"KAIL'S BACK!!!!!!!"Tristan shoulted happily.
T'ea forgot her phone,"Really?!"
*BRRRRIIIINNNGG!!*
Kaiba moved to grab the phone, but Mokuba reached it before him,"Hello?.........Hi Yugi!!..............Really?! AWESOME!!.........Yeah, see you in a little while!" With that he hung up the phone.
"What was that all about?"Kaiba asked, giving Aurora, who he was losing to at a game of Duelist's Chess, a menacing glare.
"KAIL'S BACK!!!!!!"
Aurora's eyes brightened,"REALLY?!"
Mokuba nodded, and Kaiba let himself smile,"Come on, let's go before your yelling breaks a window."
"YYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kaiba covered his ears and swore those two could probably be heard in Alaska.
Somewhere is Alaska
"YYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Hey, Bob, did you hear that?"
"Yeah, Bill, wha'd you think it was?"
"Who knows."
Kaily's eyes fluttered open to see a pair of black cat-like eyes about half an inch from her own,"ACK!!" Without thinking she brought her hand up and slapped the face away from her.
Kusanagi rubbed his jaw,"Ow, man, you hit like a cannon ball."
