[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
A ten year old Joey and Tristan sat on the doorstep of an old broken down, abandoned house, well it used to be abaondoned. Kail now lived there, a rock heded, bad attitude, smart aleck, rough and tumble, martial arts expert, street girl, with waiste length black hair tipped with crimson red. She had been Joey and Tristan's friend for five long years, nothing could separate them. Then there were the animals, Tallen, Kail's black wolf pup with a patch of white on her forehead and white rings around her neck and ankles, Avalon, Joey's black falcon with a white patch on his chest(AN:Don't ask about the name, I'm not sure why I did it) and Dayuen (pronounced Day-you-n) Tristan's gray jackel pup with a white patch on his chest.(don't ask, you'll see later in the story)
While Joey and Tristan had their families to go home to, Kail lived just with their animals, the only family she had since she ran away from home five years ealier not long after her single mother had given birth to her baby sister, Aurora. Kail took care of herself with help from Joey and Tristan when times got tough. No one knew she existed, besides the gangers, who mostly feared her besides a few higer gangs. Know as the princess of the streets, she trusted Joey and Tristan alone, but she trusted them with anything, and everything.

"Where is she, it's like she's not even here."Tristan sighed.

Joey only shrugged and looked up at the door, that's when he realized it was open a crack,"Um, why's the door open?"

"Huh?"Tristan followed his friend's gaze,"Why do I get a really bad feeling about this."

"That door's always shut."Joey said getting up and walking up to the big oak door.

Tristan slowly followed. Joey slowly opened the door. *KEREEK!!!!!* The two walked in after making a mental note to grease the hinges. Th first thing they noticed was a small blood stain on the floor. The boys exchanged worried glances. Tristan noticed a note on the table next to him and picked it up. There was a spot of blood on it, ans what looked like a few tears.

"Joey, I think we've got a problem."

Joey turned and looked at the note, his jaw dropped. 'I don't have much time. My mother and her boyfriend, the scariest guy I've ever seen, found me. Talk about a struggle, I've got two bloody, PAINFUL! cuts on my face, atleast one will leave a scar. I'm battered and bruised, and I'm being forced to leave. I can't fight them, something's wrong. I'm probably never going to see you again. They have Tallen, Avalon, and Dayune locked up in cages. They are making me come or they're gonna kill them. I'm gonna miss you guys. by the time you read this I'll be long gone. I'm so sorry. good-bye, forever. Kaily-Girl. P.S. Street rule number one, we're a team, nothing will tear us apart. I'll always be in your heart. Who could have guessed we'd ever have to say good-bye.'

"No."was all eith boy could choke out. Their best friend, the biggest part of their world was gone. Taken away, forever.

~*~*Flashback~*~*

A huge ganger with blue spiked hair stood over a terrified five year old girl with back shoulder length hair tipped with red who looked about three. Her face was full of fear. Suddenly what sounded like a barage of bombs went off, making the ganger jump and run for his life.

"Are you ok?"

The girl looked up to see a boy her age with short blonde standing over her,"I....I...think so."

"I'm Joey."the boy said helping her to her feet,"This is Tristan."he nodded to a boy with short brown hair.

"I....I....I'm Kaily."the girl stutter.

"Don't worry, we don't bite. What is a girl like you doin' out here?"Tristan laughed.

"I ran away from home, cause my mom won't let me out of the house. She says I'm a fragile child and could get sick too easily. I'm five and I'm short, so."Kaily hissed realizing she was safe, for now.

"Well, you can hang with us, anyone who don't faint after bein' attacked by a blue blood is welcome with us."Joey said,"Hey, what the........"

A black wolf pup crawled out of the shadows. Kaily quickly picked it up.

"This is Tallen, my best friend."Kaily sighed hugging with wolf.

"She can be our mascot."Tristan laughed,"From now on, we're a team."

"Rule number one, we're a team, nothing will tear us apart."Kaily laughed.

"Not too many rules."Joey fake whimpered,"But can we change your name?"

"How about Kail?"Tristan suggested.

"Kail it is."Kaily, oops Kail said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~

Neither boy spoke. Each thinking of the day the trio had been formed. Avalon and Dayuen had come into the picture later on. Finally Joey broke the silence.

"Where d'ya think they took her?"

"I don't know."

Both boys cried for one of the first times in their short lives. They never forgot her, but they told no one about her, not even five years later when they befriended Yugi, T'ea, and Bakura.
