Shini-kuma: *blinks placidly* I'm very very very flattered. *blushes* I don't have enough fingers now, as my reviews have gone into double digits. Yay! :) I think this is all getting to my head... If you don't have something I can reply to, you can skip the notes section and head straight to the story. :) Yay! (Whoa what's with all the 'yays' now??)

--- Notes ---

-Milk- The poor mango. It should be dead by now. However, there are two words to explain it all: Plot Device. Mwahahhaha....Erk. I don't watch the manga, or read the anime. Ch- hold on; I don't watch the ANIME or read the MANGA. Nor do I play the game. It's my brother's fault. He's obsessed with the card game and I hear it from him all the time. ALL the time. (as do all grade 5s today...) Anyhow...Seto is OOC, at least for now. I mean to develop his character later on. :) (Develop character? Wow I sound like I actually know what I'm talking about...)

-Ryou Luva!!!!- Yes...mangos...I like mangos too, and it was just sitting there, waiting to be included in this fic...! How could I resist?!

-Me- Wow; They story's on a favourite list. Unbelievable; I can now rub it into my friend's face...! (Okay; I'm not really that mean...)

-Jay Kamiya- Actually; that was what I was thinking...but it will have to be no yaoi (as I have decided to really challenge myself _) and I don't think I want to release any more information than that. (Fudgesticks; I'm starting to sound like Robert Jordan! Only WoTists will get that joke...)

-Empress Faria- I will try my hardest to update as much as I can; unlike some other people *cough cough* but I DO have school, and I AM in the 'special class for smart students' (Yeah right) and it IS June (Finals coming up soon...will not whimpher...will not whimper...*whimphers*) so I might have trouble with that. -_-;

--- End Notes ---

Whoa- is it just me or are those notes getting longer and longer? -_-; Must...not...let...flattery...get ...to...head....Ahhh!

Disclaimer: YGO's not mine. I don't watch the anime, I don't read the manga, I don't even play the game. I learn everything I know about YGO from other fanfiction (which will probably be why some of the stuff is incorrect) and my brother (where I know all the stuff is incorrect). Thank you.

"Where do I sleep?" Jounouchi asked. Blinking owlishly in the dark. It was starting to get quite late. Jou looked from Otogi, to Honda, and to Malik.

"Didn't you bring a tent?" Otogi said, slightly annoyed.

"Nope," the blonde replied. He shifted his knapsack to the opposite shoulder and smiled sweetly, "So can I crash in someone's tent?"

"Not in mine," Malik said coldly, before ducking in to his own tent.

"Honda?" Jou said, giving Honda a pleading look for the second time that day.

"I think I have room...but you'll have to be prepared to be jammed. Otogi's also staying in my tent."

"What?" the blonde said in disbelief. He glared at Otogi and growled, "So I'm not the only one who didn't bring a tent?"

"I don't have a tent. I asked *before* we went on the trip if I could stay with Honda." Otogi replied cooly.

"B-b-" Jou sputtered, "But I thought you made tons of money off that game you invented or something!![1]"

"I do," Otogi admitted, "But I never thought I would go on a camping trip with friends over the summer. I just thought I was going to bum around or something."

Honda sighed softly, sensing an argument was going to come out of this if the two continued, so he decided to intervene, "Why don't we just go inside now?"

Unfortunately, Honda intervened too late. Both Jounouchi and Otogi had ignored him.

"But you had two day's notice!!" Jou said, his voice starting to heat up.

"Yeah- well two days isn't enough to look for a tent!" Otogi's voice was also noticeably heating up.

"What- it takes you more than two days to go shopping for a tent?"

"Yes!"

"Guys? Sleep?" Honda said, in a slightly louder voice.

"Why would you take more than two whole days?!"

"Well; unlike you, I like to PLAN things first! I'm not going to be stuck over-paying for a lean-to!"

"At least a lean-to IS a tent!"

"LET'S JUST GO INSIDE AND GET SOME SLEEP!" Honda shouted angrily. It immediatly caught Jou and Otogi's attention. The two sheepishly cast their gazes down to their shoes. Sighing in relief, Honda marched into his tent with Jou and Otogi in his stead.

~*~

Otogi gritted his teeth. He didn't know what time it was, but it seemed pretty close to two hours. Maybe it was around midnight or something?

'I'm never going to get any sleep tonight- tomorrow I'm asking Malik if I could stay with him. I'll BEG if I have-'

Otogi's thoughts were interrupted by another loud snore. It was an absolute wonder that the rest of the campers had not come to muffle Jou and Honda's combined snoring.

Poor Otogi had tried everything. From using his pillow to cover his ears, to trying to gag Jou and Honda. He was just about to start crying from the frustration, when suddenly Honda snapped awake.

"Huh- what's that?" Honda said, sleepily.

"No Honda, don't worry. There aren't any elephants in this area. That's just Jou." said Otogi. He was in a very sarcastic mood.

"No, no, not that. Someone's arguing...it woke me up. Could they possibly be any louder??" Honda complained, then yawned quite loudly.

"Aww...they woke you up? Poor baby...!" the black haired boy growled.

Squinting in the dark, Honda tried to make out the dark shape that is Otogi. "What's up with you?"

"Nothing," Otogi sighed, "Let's go see what's going on."

Getting up, Otogi thought that since Jou and Honda's snoring kept him up, it was only right that Jounouchi should be awake for this too.

"Jou- Hey, Jou- Get up." Otogi said a little louder than he usually would; else he would have been drowned out by Jou's snoring.

Honda winced and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted as Jou suddenly sat up. His eyes were wide open and his messy blonde hair made him look slightly deranged.

"AAAAH! HOW OLD AM I?!?!?!" Jou screamed, before falling back with closed eyes.

Otogi had fallen over from shock. What had just happened...?

"Yeah...he does that sometimes..." Honda said, slightly chuckling.

"Okay- so I guess I'll just leave him alone..." the black haired boy said as he left the tent.

"I might as well come too..." Honda said, stifling another yawn, then following Otogi out of the tent.

[1] Uhm- I'm not sure; my brother told me Otogi was this guy who invented some game involving dice (because I asked about the earrings). I'm assuming he makes money out of this...-_-;

Shini-kuma: Wow. I'm really dragging this. Really really badly. Eckerz. Well, anyhow! ^_^ In the next chapter, I promise that I will move on. Even though I had originally intended to do something with Kaiba. Oh well... Anyhow- my reason for not updating yesterday? Homework. Curses. I also had a test today I was supposed to study for; if I failed that kind of meant I would be grounded from the computer. O_O;

Now we wouldn't want that happening...would we? I hope this chapter was longer...-_-;
