Hey, Hey!! I'm baaaaack!
Me: my second ficcie! The Spirits of Darkness is still up and running so please read it! This fic however is a crossover of all the Anime I can think of. (And yet it's in the Yu-gi-oh! Section) Well this mostly concerns the Yu-gi-oh chars anyway, so, there ya go. Parts of this fic I got from a book called The Chronicles of Crestomanci. A definite read if you're a Harry Potter fan.
On another note, if you read my first fic, I said that I was NOT a Yaoi fan so this, and any fic I write, will be strait parings only!
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! Except for Autumn, her family, and Mr. Keanon. Enjoy! (o^.^o)

AUTUMN'S DREAM WORLD
*****
Autumn Riddle never really though her dreams were odd when growing up. She thought everyone had the same dreams as her. Every night she would get up, and leaving her sleeping body behind she would walk around her closet door, squeeze past her shelves and hanging dresses and walk toward the friendly spot of daylight until she found herself in a pleasant forest with the mid- morning's light radiating from above. She learn early on the whenever it was night in her world, it was always day in her dreams. She also found that she would be wearing whatever outfit she liked best at the time. She would then trek down to the city.
The city. It was truly a dream there. So many interesting people and monsters doing so many interesting things! She was always thought to not talk to strangers, so she pretended to be mute, which worked out just fine. She would follow the children that had the monsters and the weird little devices one day, then she would watch the ones who kept there monsters in the little red and white balls. The knights and samurai where downright cool. She would watch the one samurai with the long red hair and an x-mark on his cheek while he was practicing with her mouth hanging open, and she often would run into the one group of knights that seemed very friendly and the boy about her age who would often ride on the back of a large white tiger. It truly was a dream.
Of course, that's exactly what she thought it was, a dream. And even if she would appear home dirty and scraped up no one would notice. Autumn was the youngest of seven children. She had three older sisters and three older brothers. One would think that the youngest got the most attention, but Autumn always had the feeling that no matter what she did in life, no one would notice. No one ever did, she was the odd ball of the family, with her dirt brown hair and matching eyes, while her siblings all had blue eyes and blond hair. Another odd thing about her was the strange birthmark on the palm of her left hand. To the untrained eye it was just a bunch of strange dark lines scarred under her skin, but looking closely, one could see a faint outline of a cat's body, sitting on its hind quarters, with its face looking directly at you. At least that's what Autumn thought it looked like. There was something strange about the mark; it seemed to give off a strange energy of its own. Something unnatural, and magical, and just pain odd.
And that's how she grew up: thinking she was an odd ball. An outcast, a misfit, at school she had no friends and was always teased. She didn't understand why she was different, she just, was. It was then she began to realize that her dreams where different.
In Third Grade, she discovered why.
She turned on the TV, wanting to forget about some English essay she had to do when she came to a certain channel. She nearly choked on the gum she was chewing. She had come across an episode of DragonBall Z. She recognized the characters immediately; she had seen the guy with the spiky black hair clear out an entire restaurant! She recognized the other ones too! They were all there! She later discovered Pokemon and Digimon, and many others too. Ronin Warriors, Gundam, Monster Rancher, and she learned much more on the Internet. There wasn't a series she learned about that she had seen in her dreams. She also learned what they were. Japanese Animation, Japanimetion, Anime, it had many names but it meant the same thing.
When Autumn was in about 7th Grade she learned that she could take things from the Anime world and bring it to her own. She would find random little trinkets and items or on rare occasions someone would give her something and she would take it home and put it on her self. Sometimes she would steal something important, then return it where she found it the next day, just for some kicks.
It started when she first came through the 'hole,' as she called it, and found a frighten baby egg monster she recognized as the one that the red head girl with the red and white monster balls, or 'Pokeballs,' as she heard them called, would carry around in her arms. She carried the little thing down to the city and found the girl sitting on a bench with the two boys she was always with bawling her eyes out. No doubt over losing her baby monster. Autumn jogged up to her and held out the baby egg-thing to her. The girl looked up and when she saw the monster she squealed and snatched the baby to her chest, hugging, crying, and squealing her heart out. As usual, Autumn didn't say anything and turned and started to go.
"Hey kid! Wait up!" Autumn turned around, more startled at the fact that she called out to her than the fact that could kind of make out what she said. She could never keep up with the Japanese but she managed to pick up quite a few words.
The red head followed by the two boys ran up to her.
"Thank you so much for finding my Togepi! I don't know how to ever repay you!" she said gratefully.
"Are you a Pokemon trainer?" the boy with the black hair and red and white hat asked. Autumn wasn't too sure what to say. She could pick out 'Pokemon' and he was pointing at her, so she figured that he was asking if she had any. She shook her head.
"Here," the boy reached behind him and undid something some his belt. He pulled out a tiny red and white Pokeball, pushed the button on the front, which made it bigger and handed it to her. "You can use this empty Pokeball to start catching Pokemon!"
Autumn looked at the shiny Pokeball in her hands with awe. She opened the empty Pokeball just to make sure it wasn't a trick, and then closed it again. She had never been given something so nice from this world. She looked up at the trio with a big smile.
"Arigato gosaimasu!" she said happily. She turned to leave.
"Hey! What's your name?" shouted the boy.
Autumn stopped and thought for a moment. She wasn't to keen on telling anyone her real name so she came up with the next best thing. She turned around and called, "My name's Aki!"
After that she build up a small collection of things she got from the Anime world and put them on her shelves. Only the second youngest in the family, James, noticed it as out of the ordinary.
"Where did you get all this stuff?" he asked one time when he was playing Zelda in her room. (The N64 was in her room while the PSone was in his.) She lie on her bed tossing her Pokeball up and down.
"What things?" she asked innocently. James reached over and caught the ball with amazing speed.
"Things like this! I've seen toys like this but this looks like it was expensive, and God knows you don't have a job."
"What are you taking about? That thing was like two bucks."
James put his game on pause and went over to her counter. He picked up a bunch of Digimon cards she had gotten from a nice girl named Jeri. Autumn gulped, not only where they written in Japanese, but the Digimon Tamers series hadn't come out in America yet.
"I've never seen a card game like this, and why is it in Japanese? There aren't any Japanese stores around here."
"I got it from a friend." She growled stubbornly.
James gave her a weird look. "But, you don't have any friends."
"What's that supposed to mean!!" she screamed. She got up and left in a huff. She had meant that as an excuse to leave the room, everyone thought that she was uptight and sensitive any way, but deep down, his comments had stung her. She didn't really want friends, but that didn't mean she didn't try to be friendly. She was notorious at school as being very 'weird,' whatever that meant to them. When she was in elementary school, she was always given her own space: at lunch she just wandered the lunch tables, picking the stucco off the walls, lost in her own thoughts. Whenever there was a crowd, there was a ring of space between her and everyone else about two feet wide. Whenever she heard whispering and giggling as she walked down the halls she knew that she was the topic in general.
She didn't even have any friends in the Anime world, but that was because she was afraid of what would happen to her if they found out. There were only a few that knew her as Aki, but that was it.
Autumn wandered into the kitchen looking for a snack, a common reflex when she had nothing else to do or when she had to get something off her mind. She was 17 now, a junior in high school, and hating it. She was wearing her favorite outfit: baggy light blue jeans, a black T-shirt that had three bullet holes drawn on the front and back of her right shoulder, a yin-yang metal pendant on a black silky cord, and a light blue beanie with two curvy black lines circling around it. Over her left hand she wore a field hockey glove, something she got when she played field hockey in junior high. She never was keen on doing field hockey, but all of her sisters did it so she felt obligated to try it. She liked the look of the glove, and it covered her birthmark. She always wore her brown and blond-streaked hair in a ponytail.
Her dad was in the family room watching T.V when he called out to her.
"Hey Autumn, look! It's your people!"
Autumn stuck her head into the next room to take a look. It was an ad for a new Anime series called Yu-Gi-Oh! Autumn felt as if her heart had stopped beating in her living body. She had seen them before, of course, but, it was, well, different. She was sitting on a wall by the sidewalk went she had seen them walking down on the opposite side. There was the little guy with the really cool looking hair and round innocent purple eyes, the blond haired dude with the street lingo, the taller brunette, the brown haired girl with blue eyes, the British boy with the wild white hair, and then there was HIM. He looked like the first little guy, but his hair had golden streaks, he was taller, and his eyes, she about fell off the wall when he turned and looked directly at her with those eyes. But what freaked her out is when a golden third eye appeared on his forehead. She could feel the eye bore itself right into her soul. The hairs on her neck bristled, goose bumps appeared on her arms, and she could feel pinpricks of sweat form on her hairline. Her fear finally got the better of her and she bolted. She took a deep breath and returned to the kitchen.
Autumn wandered the kitchen for a few minutes looking for something to catch her eye. When she didn't find anything she wandered back upstairs to her room. Her brother was still there, but he didn't say anything when she re-entered her room. Eventually he turned off the game and left her room, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
'Come to think of it, I haven't been there for a while.' She thought. 'I wonder how Dawn's doing.' Autumn smiled to herself. She had never tried to capture a Pokemon, but apparently she captured the heart of one. Dawn was a baby Mewtwo Autumn had found sleeping right outside the hole. Autumn fed her some of her granola bar that she had brought with her. After that the baby just started to follow Autumn wherever she went. Autumn decided to keep her and call her Dawn, for her light purple fur.
Autumn hadn't been to the Anime world for about a year. She just didn't have enough time. She knew that Dawn could take care of herself, but she couldn't help but worry. Dawn was only a baby after all.
Autumn looked out at the darkening sky. 'Maybe I should just visit-'
