"Did you really think you could leave me that easily girl?" Micha glowered at Kelly.

"I'm not going back with you Micha. I've given up that life of isolation. I have friends and relatives that care for me." She glowered right back at him.

Micha approached her with a stern look on his face. Kelly stood her ground with a look of determination on her face, but she was a little hesitant.

"You ungrateful little wench. I've feed you, clothed you, and keep you under a roof after your mother left and this is how you repay me?" He growled at her.

"An orphanage would have treated me better than you have! You isolated me from everyone. You even said it yourself that I was a thorn in your side. I have nothing to be grateful for towards you. You took away my innocents and purity just because your whore of a wife was out so much." She shot back.

Micha then slapped her with such force that it sent her to the ground. She tried to get up, but Micha kicked her in the stomach to keep her down.

"Don't ever speak ill of your step-mother again you hear me! She is the closest thing to a mother you'll ever have."

"She is and never will be my mother. Mamma never treated me like a piece of trash that must be thrown out. Mamma loved me and Yugi. She never treated me like that!" Kelly tried to get up again.

"If she loved you why did she leave with just your pathetic brother and left you for me to deal with?" He kicked her again.

"Leave her alone you thug." A feminine voice came out from behind a tree.

Micha turned towards the voice with an annoyed look on his face, "And just who are you babe?" He growled out at her.

"What gives you the right to pick on defenseless teenage girls?" She flipped a piece of her blond hair over her purple jacket.

"What are you going to do about it sweetheart?" He totally turned his back on Kelly who had managed to get up.

"Don't call me sweetheart or babe." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Then who the hell are you?"

"The name is Mai Valentine."

Kelly looked at Mai right in the eye and Mai motioned with her eyes for Kelly to run. Kelly hesitated for a moment and then noticed that Mai looked familiar. Her hesitation was not a good idea. Micha had seen Mai do this and turned around and hit Kelly in the head. It sent her to the ground and she was knocked unconscious.

"You're not getting away that easily you ungrateful brat." Micha stated before turning around to face Mai again, "And you, what makes you think you can help her escape?"

"Don't underestimate the power of a woman and I don't think that I caught your name."

"You don't need to know it. Now go to your local corner and get to work." He turned away from her.

"What. Did. You. Just. Say?" Mai grew furious balling her hands into fists.

"You heard me."

"I am not a street whore you jerk. I'm a respectable duelist and would never in my life time sell myself to some man who can't get any from anyone." Mai threw her bag down and stormed over and slapped Micha so hard that he stumbled back.

"You little bitch. No one slaps Micha McCarthy and just walks away." He growled at her with his hand to his cheek.

"Step away from them Micha." A voice demanded as it approached the 3.

"Who the hell are you?!" Micha demanded as the figure with dirty blond hair and dark tan stepped in-between him and Kelly.

"I am Malik Ishtar. Now I suggest that you step away from Kelly and get on with your business." He glared at Micha, his Millennium rod in his hand.

"Forget it. You all are not worth my time." Micha stated before walking off.

Malik then turned to leave after Micha had disappeared from the clearing. Mai watched Malik leave before she called out to him.

"Hey! Malik!"

He just ignored her and went on his way. Before long he was gone and Mai was left with an unconscious Kelly. Mai sighed and knelt down next to her. She picked Kelly up before shouldering her bag again and started walking towards the exit of the park. Halfway there she ran into Sugoroku and Mokuba.

"Kelly!" Mokuba yelled and ran up to her, "Is she alright? What happened?"

Mai blinked and looked down at the young Kaiba, "She is fine, just suffered a blow to the head."

"Come, bring her to my shop." Sugoroku motioned for them to follow him.

* * *

"Man, they couldn't have given out anymore homework could they?" Tristan gripped as Yugi, Joey, Tea, and he walked home from school.

"That just adds onto my pile of things to do." Tea sighed, "I already have a project due next week, but all this homework doesn't help."

"I know you can do all that Tea. You've gotten worse assignments before, how can this one be any different?" Yugi questioned as they approached the game shop.

"Besides the fact that I only have 1/3rd of it done and it is due on Monday, nothing." She stated.

Just as Yugi was going to open the door of the game shop, it opened and Mai walked out.

"Mai? What are you doing here?" Yugi blinked.

"Oh Yugi, I didn't see you all." Mai smiled, "I just brought this chick here cuz she had a little run in with her father or someone claiming to be her father." She explained, "I would have beat the crap out of him if this Malik guy didn't show up and got him to leave for some reason."

"Malik?!" Yugi exclaimed after she was done.

"A friend of yours?"

"Not quite. He was after Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and used Tea and I as his cronies just to get to him." Joey scoffed.

"Really? That is funny cuz this girl was wearing an armband that looks like Yugi's puzzle and he helped her." Mai put a finger to her chin and looked at the sky before looking at them again after she finished her sentence.

"Did you say an armband that looks like Yugi's puzzle?" Joey's eyes got wide.

"Yes, you know of it?"

"Kelly has an armband like that, but I thought she was staying home sick. What was she doing out here?"

"I don't know, better ask Mokuba, he is in there with her." Mai shrugged, "Who is she anyways?"

"She is Yugi's sister." Joey explained.

"I didn't know you had a sister Yugi." Mai looked at him, "Can't really tell with the difference in height and all."

"Thanks Mai." Yugi frowned and rolled his eyes.

"Eh-he..." She scratched behind her head and smiled, "Well, I must part with you all. I've got some people to meet with about some job. Bye you all!" She waved as she ran off.

Yugi opened the shop door and went to the apartment above it where they found Kelly laying on the couch with Mokuba sitting at the end with her head and Sugoroku was in the kitchen.

"Grandpa I'm home." Yugi poked his head into the kitchen.

"Ah Yugi, can you please take this bowl out to Mokuba?" He handed a bowl of water to Yugi.

"Sure." He carried the bowl over and handed it to Mokuba, "Here you are Mokuba."

"Thanks Yugi." Mokuba set it on the floor and took the rag on top of Kelly's head and got it wet again before placing it back to it's place.

"What happened Mokuba? We only got bit and pieces answers from Mai." Joey asked.

"Well, we both were coming back from the doctors office and were walking through the park when this man came out from behind a tree. He said he was there to take Kelly home and was going to do anything to do it. She sent me to get help and we happen to be close to the game shop so I came to Mr. Motto. When we got there Mai was carrying Kelly and then here we are." Mokuba explained, "I don't know what happened from before we got back."

* * *

'Where are those voices coming from?' Kelly thought to herself as she slowly regained consciousness. 'My head and stomach hurts.' She groaned. Kelly slowly opened her eyes to see many faces over hers. She blinked a few times trying to register who all were there. "What is going on?" She asked as she sat up putting her hand to her head.

"Don't you remember anything Kelly?" Mokuba asked.

"Not really. The last thing I remember was this girl, Mai Valentine I think, showing up. She motioned for me to make a run for it while she had Micha occupied."

"Why didn't you take that chance then?" Joey blurted out.

"I don't know." She looked down with her hands in her lap, "She just looked familiar and I guess I hesitated."

"Look what you did Joey, you made her feel bad." Tea glared and swatted his arm.

"No, he is right I guess. I don't know what I was doing standing up to Micha, but I couldn't let him hurt Mokuba. Him and Seto are the ones who have actually treated me like a human and not some piece of garbage."

"I think you did the right thing of standing up to him Kelly." Sugoroku walked into the room caring a bag of ice in his hand. He handed it to Kelly who put it on her head, "It took Haruna 7 yrs to do that."

"Who is Haruna, Mr. Motto?" Tea looked puzzled, "And who is Micha since we are on the subject."

"Micha is my father." Kelly explained.

"Stacie is Kelly and Yugi's mother, my daughter." Sugoroku finished.

Yugi looked at his grandfather a little shocked. "You've never mentioned Mom before Grandpa.................or the fact that I had a sister."

"We'll talk about this later Yugi, when there aren't as many people around." Sugoroku turned and descended down to the game shop.

Everyone just watched him leave with a confused face plastered on.
