(A.N.)

It's rather sad really . . . I've read a few yaois' and I LOVE THEM ALL!

I highly recommend reading the following author's stories: Spookychild (cause I am under the spooky spell (Very funny stories)), Yueh- moon (cause she is a great writer and one of my bestest friends!), Ravid (Girl you know I wouldn't forget you now would I? any way If you don't go for the regular pairings go for the Yugi x Bakura ones!), Koori-yami (I haven't read any, but Yueh has!)

Lily "retpahc tsrif . . .?"

Jounouchi *sweet-drop* "Your reading it upside-down again Lily!"

Lily "Ohhhh . . . that would explain it!" ;)

"Oh yeah if you don't like yaoi I highly suggest you don't read this you freakin' fruitloopy fools!!!!!!! (Yaoi means boys with other boys!!)"

Jounouchi *sweet-drop* *groan*

"Squee!! Now on with the first chapter!!"

Disclaimer: I no own Yu-Gi-Oh or Linkin Park, you no sue lily, Ha, Booya, Grandma!!

~Chapter One~

Ever since I was a little boy I've dreamed of a place called Green Crystal Lake, a place where the water reflects everything. I often wondered why it was never called Mirror Lake, but I'd always dismiss the thought. Back at home my mom told me that if I ever found the place, maybe we would move there. She would always laugh and I would just sigh and roll my eyes because I knew she was only joking. I didn't know that one day; not too far from now; something would happen at Green Crystal Lake and it would change my life forever! ~ ~ ~ I awoke to my little sister bugging me to get up, I really wanted to go back to sleep this morning because I wanted to know the rest of my dream. Once again it was of Green Crystal Lake, it never changed yet I always saw more of what I didn't see before. This time I saw the old beggar woman stand and do a rain dance, I got to learn it too! I heard the radio in the living room come on . . . its Linkin Park's new song Numb!

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be, Feeling so faithless lost under the surface, I don't know what you're expecting of me . . . . . ." Unexpectedly the radio went silent.

"Serenity!! Turn it back on!!" I obviously yelled . . . er . . . screamed. She answered tearfully (more sarcastic than upset)

"I'm sorry Mr. Jounouchi *gasp* I will . . . NOT!! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

I grumbled "Damn little sisters, DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!!!" Being who I am and all I didn't really notice the door creak open

"Katsuya!!" I heard my mother's shrill voice "This family does not use the forbidden words Damnit!" she screeched as she stomped down the hall. When I knew that she was downstairs I whispered under my breath

"Aw man! Now she's probably gonna ground me!".

Then it came "I heard that! And good idea, you're grounded for a week starting . . . now!" she shouted to me from the bottom of the stairs.

'Amazing! How does she do it? I mean how on this world can she hear my whispers from all the way down-stairs?

A disembodied voice says 'The same way I can read your thoughts!'

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! MA, YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP THAT!!" I yelled at my mom.

~--~

"Domino High, proven the best school in Domino city!",

"T.V. ads are such fun after school when grounded!" I changed the channel.

"Nads hair remover"

"Ahh, I definitely don't need to have hair remover!" I kept flipping through the channels until . . .

"Green Crystal Lake Campground is the best! Yeah! Just listen to Mitsuruki and Natsura they know the best place to go during the summer!" (The announcer gave the directions to the campground) The announcer finished talking.

"HOLY SHIT!! MOM! MOM! I JUST HEARD AN AD ON T.V. AND GUESS WHAT IT WAS OF!!" I yelled while running down the hall like an idiot.

"What?" mom said poking her head out of the nearest door.

Panting and trying to catch my breath, I said "Green . . . Crystal . . . Lake!" those three words led to a discussion later that night with my mother and little sister.

"So are we in agreement?" My mom asked.

"Yeah! Cool, I get to go camping!"

I scolded "Don't be such an Idiot! Besides you aren't gonna get a bed or even electricity!"

"I know!" she retorted.

"I bet you're gonna be cryin' by the second night we stay there!" I betted daringly.

"Ha, ya . . . yeah right!" she said uneasily. Her uneasy words were fuel to the fire lit inside me to keep me bickering with her all night long.

*Hee, Hee what fun! Oops! Sorry, my thoughts slipped in.* --__--

~-~ The next day at Domino High~-~

"Aw man! We got Mr. Iwata!" Yugi whined. Today was Thanksgiving Day in America and Mr. Iwata is the literature/writing teacher that transferred from Odaiba Elementary school and is now the high school teacher (see Yueh- moon's Forbidden Love). Everyone in ninth grade was warned that He might dress up. I can tell you that all of us were dreading the thought of going to his class and we had damn good reasons to dread it too! Mai, Yugi, and I all made our way to Mr. Iwata's room. I had to open the door and there at our teacher's desk was a 6 foot tall turkey with feathers and all! Yugi would have passed out if only Mai wasn't behind him!

"Ah, welcome to class! You're late!" said the muffled voice of Mr. Iwata.

"Sorry." The three of us said in unison.

Mr. Iwata was not very happy with us, "Take your seats! . . . Please!" He snapped. Mai took her seat next to Honda, Honda twitched.

~/Flashback/~

Last summer Honda, Yugi, Mia, Otagi (Duke Devlin), and I all went to the same summer camp. Yugi, Otagi, and I spent our free time hanging out in the water, while Honda and Mai had a 'THING' (make out sessions) going on. One day a counselor took me to the Head Master counselor guy's office for some bad stuff that I did (which I'm not going to mention) on the cafeteria/ meeting room. We had to go by the garden shed to get to the office.

*thank god!*

As we were walking by we heard the shed door bang shut.

That's it that's the end of the first chapter! You'll have to wait till next chapter to find out what happens to Mai and Yugi and Otagi and Honda and Jounouchi . . . oh yeah! And the poor counselor. We'll see if I can add more characters. *squee! What Fun* Until next time have fun and be happy!
