I'd Rather Not Know- Chapter 1: The Unknown and the Star
"It's our turn in the talent show!" shouted a very excited spiky haired first grader to her two sisters.
"Okay, Yugi, ya don't have ta yell!" shouted her older, adopted, sister, Malik.
"I'm just really excited about this, Malik," she replied.
"Now it's time for first graders Yugi, Malik, and Ryou, to sing their song 'To Know The Unknown'!" exclaims the principal over the voices of the several grade schoolers who where cheering loudly.
"I'm nervous about this," whispered Ryou.
"Don't worry, it'll be alright," assured Malik.
"Okay, let's begin!"
sssss
When they stopped singing there was a pause before several shouts of approval came from most of the audience. Those who weren't cheering enthuseicly were angrily shouting their disapproval, for they, as well as everyone else, understood what the song was implying. 'Little brats,' they were thinking, 'learning everything about everything is what we're supposed to do.' The others knew that knowing a lot of things, especially a long time before the knowledge was really needed, could decrease several values and why should children need to know how babies are really made. After the talent show the principal approached the three girls.
"Yes, Mr. Principal?" asked Yugi.
"You three are to never enter this school again!" he said.
"WHAT! We didn't do anything wrong!" yelled Malik.
"That song is a great offence to what we stand for, and also, you all have been slacking since prepreschool(1)! I cannot overlook it any longer! You three are not going to second grade or any other grade at this in this school!"
"Fine, then baka(2)! We didn't like you and most of the teachers anyways!" Malik shouts, "Let's go, Yugi, Ryou!"
"'Kay!" Ryou and Yugi said.
"Aho(3) sensei(4)!" Yugi threw over his shoulder as they exited the auditorium.
"We're home!" shouted Yugi as she, Malik, and Ryou walked in their home.
"Yugi! Malik! Ryou! What are you doing home so early?" their mother asked, "School doesn't let out for another hour!"
"The principal kicked us out," said Ryou.
"Principal Bushhead didn't like our song and called us slackers!" Malik scowled.
"Mr. Bush says we can't go to school there any more," stated Yugi.
"I didn't like the school you three were going to anyways, we'll find some other school for you three to go to," she says.
"I hope the next school is better," replied Yugi.
"We all do..." said Ryou
"School blah blah! It's summer vacation! A time not to think about school! Let's go and play!" shouts Malik.
"Yeah!" Ryou and Yugi shout together.
"Just be careful you three,"
"We will!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The three girls headed to the park and played for hours. Yugi and Ryou played in the sandbox and swung on the swings. Malik, being Malik, played tricks on people passing by. In one of her tricks she actually helped a pair to admit they loved eachother by tripping one of them. When she grew tired of playing tricks on people Malik started a game of tag with Yugi and Ryou. They played until the sun started to set, and as they started to go home Yugi stopped.
"Hey! Look at that star!" she shouted.
"It exploded!" yelled Malik.
"Poor star..." said Ryou.
"Why don't we sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star? We always remember things like this if sing something about it!" Yugi exclaims, "I have this feeling that we'll need to remember this, and I don't mean for school."
"I agree with Yugi on this," said Ryou.
"Yeah."
sssss
When they were done singing, Yugi looked back up at the star.
"You guys, I just remembered something,"
"What?" asked Malik.
"Almost every night we've always looked at that star."
"That is kinda strange, but let's go home, mom's probably worried," Malik stated, turning to go home.
"…Yes, it's pretty late…" Ryou sighed, joining Malik.
Yugi remained silent and looked at the star one last time before joining her sisters. 'I have a feeling something really big is going to happen one day, and it's gonna be because of that star…'
And they walked home, and even though several years passed, they never forgot that star...
To be continued...

(1) here 1st graders learn what 5th graders would normally learn, a high school education is actually a collage education…and they have a preschool before preschool
(2) baka- Japanese for idiot/stupid/fool (Tokyo dialect- stupid, more insulting in Osaka according to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)
(3)aho- basically the same as (2) (Osaka dialect- stupid, more insulting in Tokyo) and yes, Yugi has a little bit of an attitude, and lets say they live in Tokyo, and Malik is an adoptee from Osaka, Ryou, too
(4) sensei- teacher
Dark Latias: my light is not in the best of moods right now, so don't (not even when she's in a better mood) send a review just to make her life a living hell, her brothers already make it seem like hell is next door
Hikari: constructive criticism is okay, but don't send a review saying how much you loathe it. If you don't like the story at all don't review.
Florence: …Yami…Bakura…and Marik…will be in...the next chapter…
