This month’s Story of the Month is by Chaos, who originally submitted us a Sonic the Hedgehog Fanfic, but then decided to do something completely different. She is an up and coming author who seems to like quite a variety of subjects, and is currently in negotiations to have a serialized story on this site. But for now, here’s the story.

A Simple Thought

Chapter 1: The first day part 1

In a parallel universe to ours, there live people. Of course, we don’t know these people as real people; we know them as manga, comics, cartoon or anime characters. They know us as those things. But famous people like Will Smith do not make a good cartoon character, so they like normal people (but Martha Stewart is a whole different story, #1 manga).

It was a happy day, but not really, because it was the first day of school. If you think about it, was it fun on your first day in first grade? That’s beyond the point. For two boys it was going to be a great day, for doing nothing that is.

These two boys were very strong. But not the strongest. Katsuya Jonouchi was new this year. His last school was called Rintama. He would hang out with a gang there, and he got into trouble a lot. But since his friend named Hirutani got detention for three weeks, they have never talked again. Hiroto Honda, on the other hand, went to Domino since kindergarten. He met Jonouchi in the summer when he was defending himself in a fight, and he and Jonouchi have been friends since. Honda was also a strong spirited person that seemed to show he cares in a strange way. Now that you know two of the characters, lets get on with the story.

“It’s the first day of elementary school,” said Honda, “What do you think’ll happen.”

“I don’t know and I don’t care,” Jonouchi started to complain, “I heard that our teachers are really tough… but it’s only my first year at Domino. Hope we don’t meet any cheezy people at school.”

Just then a girl on a bike went by and her skirt flew up. Jonouchi and Honda said a few things to each other and laughed.

“Hey Honda!” yelled some girl that ran up behind them.

“Hey Anzu,” Honda yelled back, “Waz up!”

“Nothing, who’s your friend?” she asked.

“This is Katsuya Jonouchi, but just call him Jonouchi,” replied Honda.

“Nice to meet you,” said Jonouchi, “So when do we get to see your panties?”

*SMACK!*

“Jerk!” Anzu yelled.

Anzu Mazaki was a nice girl. Really, she was. She dreamed of going to America and becoming a dancer.

“I hope we get to school soon!” yelled Jonouchi, holding his cheek with his hand.

“Not my fault!” Honda laughed as he tried to yell, “Not my fault that you like girls already!”

As you know it is not normal for six year olds to like girls yet. But Jonouchi was already there. He liked to peak at panties. Need I say more?

Chapter 2: The first day part 2

It was only a couple of blocks later when the three first graders got to school. Anzu wanted to go talk to someone else, Jonouchi wanted to get an icepack and Honda was still laughing his head off at Jonouchi for liking girls (even though he had a crush on a girl at school).

When school had finally started, well, lets just say that it wasn’t the normal first grade. I had forgotten to tell you that the classes in that parallel universe were very strange until when ever the manga took place, or to them getting their first job (so I’m saying that Jonouchi, Honda and Anzu got their first job as freshman in the real Yu-Gi-Oh!).

“Hello and good morning class,” said the class’s teacher, “My name is Miss Botan, but you can just call me Botan.”

“Good morning,” said the class.

“I am your first and second period teacher. I will pretty much teach you how to read, write and act better. Class starts at 8:00AM and goes till 9:45AM. From 8 till 8:30 I will teach you how to read better and from 8:30 till 9:00 I will teach you how to write better. And the last 45 minutes of class will be to teach you how to act better. You know, not politeness and kindness, but like being an actor,” Botan continued, “Hopefully you know on the planet Earth that we are known to them as anime and manga characters and not cartoon or comic book characters because we were all ‘made’ in Japan. So I will teach you how to act so one day when you become stars in those things, you will be famous. Well, it’s already 8:05, so let us all introduce ourselves. We’ll go down the rows starting with this young man here. Tell us your full name and your hobby.”

“My name is Yusuke Urameshi, my hobby is, well being the toughest guy in the school.”

“My name is Kuwabara and my hobby is trying to beat Urameshi.”

“Hello. My name is Keiko Yukimura and my hobby, my hobby, my hobby is…………………………………….. There are just too many to name.”

“My name is Naruto and I am going to be a great ninja, so my hobby is working on my ninja skills!”

“My hobby is perfecting my skills. My name is Sasuke.”

“Sasuke! Sasuke! Sasuke!” chanted the girls.

“Okay girls, be quiet!” yelled Botan.

“I’m Sakura and my hobby is…. Hee hee heeee liking Sasuke.”

“My name is Roronoa Zoro and I am training to become a pirate hunter and I train in santôryu, also known as the ‘three sword style.’”

“I’m Monkey D. Luffy, but call me Luffy, and I’m going to be the greatest pirate that ever lived! That’s my hobby, being a pirate!”

“Nami is the name and my hobby is robbing pirates.”

“My name is Manta Oyamada, and I like to study!”

“The name’s Yoh Asakura and being the Shaman King is my game! Hey teach! Do you want me to introduce my friend Amidamaru?”

“Sure, why not,” Botan said while Yoh was integrating with Amidamaru.

“My name is Amidamaru, and I am a samurai.”

“Seto Kaiba, head of Kaiba Corp.ã and my hobby is collecting rare cards for the card game ‘Magic and Wizards’.”

“My name is Anzu Mazaki and my hobby is dancing!”

“Hiroto Honda, and my hobby is being a tuff guy.”

“Katsuya Jonouchi and my hobby is just like Honda’s, being a tuff guy.”

“Yugi Mutou and my hobby is playing games.”

“Kaoru Kamiya and my hobby is learning my father’s Kamiya Kasshin style of swordsmanship.”

“Sanosuke Sagara, but you can call me Sano… I’m part of the Sekihotai and a fighter-for-higher.”

“Megumi Takani and my hobby is to be a great doctor, like everyone in my family!”

“Kenshin Himura is my name, that it is. I am a samurai.” (Isn’t strange, he must have been a manslayer already…. I wonder why they think it happen ten years go?)

“For your first day I will let you talk until recess, which is at 9:50AM and ends at 10:15AM, so you get to know everyone,” Botan began, “I will be here till recess and your other teachers, Mr. Thief and… the other teachers I don’t know yet, but you will meet them later. Now have fun and talk, but keep it down.”

Well, everyone started to talk. That’s when this boring day was about to become a decent day. We’ll let you decide that in the next chapter.

Chapter 3: The first day part 3

It was the students’ time now. Botan was hoping someone would come and talk to her. All she got was the principal. Jonouchi was laughing at Yusuke and how puny he looked while Honda tried to stop him because he knew Yusuke’s reputation. Yusuke did the same thing he did to all new people that thought that he wasn’t tuff.

“Either your dumb or your new here,” Yusuke said, “You should have listened to your friend!”

Jonouchi got knocked out in one hit. Honda just called him an idiot. Yusuke really didn’t care. Seto Kaiba saw this and was laughing at him. Anzu didn’t even notice.

“Hey, Anzu! I didn’t know that you were in my class,” Yugi said, looking very happy I might add.

“I forgot to tell you didn’t I,” Anzu said, “So, what have you been up to over the summer?”

“Not much, I just got this from my Grandpa,” Yugi began as he started to get a box out of his backpack, “It’s the Millennium Puzzle and I just can’t seem to solve it.”

“Oh, really,” Anzu said, trying to be happy.

“What did you do this summer?” Yugi replied.

“I just went to NYSP Camp and came back about a week ago,” Anzu said.

“Oh, well do you know that Jonouchi?” Yugi asked

“I’ve seen him and said hi, but he’s a jerk,” Anzu said then walked away.

“Wow, never thought that I would see her blush before,” he said.

“Yoh, do you see that over there!” Manta screamed.

“WOW! A SPIRIT IN THE SCHOOL!” Yoh screamed, “IT MUST BE GOOD!”

“Yoh, you don’t know what it is!” Manta complained.

The rest of the first and second hour classes went like this. Jonouchi came to during the recess. In the third hour class was math with Mr. Thief.

“I know what you must be thinking, your teacher is a demon,” Thief began, “but do not, DO NOT call me MR. THIEF, just call me Thief. I will be teaching you basic arithmetic and I will also be watching you guys for study hall. This class runs from 10:20AM to 11:15AM and study hall runs from that till lunch, which is at noon. Your recess will be from 12:45 till 1:00PM. If you each lunch faster you will be able to have recess for a longer time. Now let me tell you about the rules….”

Thief told them all the rules and no one really paid attention because he just kept on saying the same three over and over again. The first one was to turn in homework on time, the second to take notes carefully in class so no one wouldn’t know how to do the homework and don’t cheat on tests and write your name were it says NAME.

It was fourth hour before Thief even realized it. Fourth hour they played silent ball until it was time for lunch. Everyone went to the lunchroom were there were other classes eating lunch. Everyone was at a table with there friends. Everyone but Yugi. Other kids were talking about stuff, but Yugi just sat there and ate by himself. Some of his classmates were in line yet though. After lunch every first grader went out to recess.

“YUGI!!!” said a voice, “WAIT UP!!!”

Yugi turned around and he saw to people running towards him. He just stood there.

“Hi!” said Yoh.

“Hi,” Yugi said, “Your Yoh, from my class, right?”

“Yep,” Yoh said, “And that’s Manta. He should get here pretty soon, he’s kinda slow.”

“Finally, caught up,” Manta said between gasps for air.

“What were here for is to ask you if you’re a shaman and who’s your ghost,” Yoh asked, “I already told you who my ghost was.”

“I’m not a shaman, I don’t have a ghost and neither do you!” Yugi said. He didn’t believe that there were really shamans, but he couldn’t see them like Yoh, or even Manta for that matter.

“TIME TO COME INSIDE!” yelled one of the teachers, “FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW, YOU MUST GO STAND BEHIND YOUR FOURTH HOUR TEACHER AND THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR FIFTH HOUR CLASS AND YOU WILL BE IN THERE UNTIL EIGHTH HOUR, IN OTHER WORDS 1:05 TILL 3:20.”

So everyone went to there teachers and stood. The teachers then walked them to their fifth hour class and they took a seat. Their fifth hour teacher came in.

“I’m bored, really I am… my last class were troublemakers and well, I guess I should get on with the lesson. I am your teacher, Mr. Beer. Please call me that. I will teach you geography half of fifth hour and science the second half. Sixth hour starts at 1:50 and it will be art class, which isn’t that long… it goes until 2:30. Computer Applications starts then and goes until 2:10, in other words seventh hour. Let us get on with class,” Mr. Beer said.

Everyone almost fell asleep in fifth hour, but in sixth they all got creative and drew, well different things. Most of the boys drew monsters and tried to scare the girls, but the girls drew girls having tea parties and things like that. But everyone seemed to like seventh hour. The teacher let them do whatever they wanted. They went to websites and played games, taught each other how to use e-mail and, well, Kaiba just hacked the system. He got in trouble, but all he said was that he got bored.

When eighth hour came around the children where very hyper. But it would seem that would be changing soon.

“Welcome to gym class,” said the teacher, “ I am your teacher Vegeta and welcome to the intersection of pain and strength! I will be turning you wimps into men or women. NOW DO 150 PUSHUPS AND 150 SITUPS!”

The whole class got down on their hands and did the pushups and then got on their backs and did sit-ups. Vegeta then made them do laps for the rest of the day. The whole class was very happy that the day was over. Jonouchi didn’t seem that tired though, and the boys talked about that, because they were beat. Then everybody went home.

“Finally,” Yugi said while he walked to the bus stop.

When Yugi looked behind him he noticed that Jonouchi and Honda where running up right behind him. He thought nothing of it.

“Hey wait up Yugi!” Jonouchi yelled.

Yugi stopped and turned around. He then noticed Yusuke was following those two, but he didn’t want to get beat up. He stood there waiting, waiting, and waiting.

“Hey, I saw you playing some bored game today. What are you, a girl?” Jonouchi said, then he threw a fist. Yugi fell to the ground.

“What did you do that for?” Yugi said as he held his face.

“I’m teaching you how to be a boy!” Joey said. He threw a couple of more punches at Yugi and eventually Yugi got knocked out.

“Hey, Yugi,” said a familiar voice, “Are you okay?”

Yugi opened one of his eyes (because the other one hurt) and saw Anzu, and his house. And he realized he was in his bed.

“You’re okay,” she said, “I saw everything and after they left I dragged you to your house, but I have to say your grandpa is a little scary.”

“Thanks Anzu, I know why he did it,” Yugi said, “Yusuke threatened to beat up Jonouchi if he didn’t see him beat up someone else first.”

“Oh,” Anzu sighed, “Well, I better get home. Bye Yugi.”

“Bye Anzu!” Yugi said, “And thank you!”
