Disclaimer: Yuzuki: Hello, I am here to do the disclaimer today, unfortunately Blood-Chan has been feeling a bit lonely after her clones were killed.

BloodEngel: (In her corner) I feel so lonely inside. ;;

Yuzuki: Therefore, this chapter has been taken over by me.

Kaede: I won't be in this for a while oo

Yuzuki: Who cares? You're hardly popular among the readers…at least from what I've seen.

Kaede: I am too!

Yuzuki: No you're not.

Inside Out

Chapter 4: Starting School at Chaise Junior High

Elena's P.O.V.

I sighed and collapsed on my bed. I was glad the insanity of today was finally over. 'First we had just been innocently looking around my basement. Next thing you know Brittany wants to try a spell to bring characters from TV to this world. The spell seemed simple enough and me being the 'practical' person I am I performed the spell. It was easy really, all I had to do was light a few candles and some incense and then say some really bad poetry, followed by the name of a show. I didn't think it would actually work.

'Just my luck it did.

'That event was followed by me going to get Katie and Naomi calling Arianna. The characters soon awoke after my two other best friends were at my house. First came the explanation of why they were here followed by them telling us who they were. We then performed an Identity Disguising spell, now no one but us knows who they are. In the end we figured out where they were going.

'Katie was taking Seto Kiaba and Jounochi Katsuya to her house, where she would say they were friends coming for a sleep over. We aren't sure what to do after that. Kiaba says he has an American credit card, the chances it will even work are slim. Arianna is going to sneak Malik Ishtar in through her bedroom window and pray that her mom wont come in.

'Naomi was unable to take anybody and neither was Brittany. That leaves me stuck with Yuugi Mouto and Ryou Bakura. I understand both of them has a spirit infesting their bodies. I also understand one is a lot more friendly than the other. Either way, I'm hoping to keep the spirits at bay before my Grandma arranges an exorcism. Luckily I have an understanding family, I can only imagine how hard it'll be for the others to hide this.'

I took one more look at the two characters sleeping on the floor before turning off the lamp and going to sleep.

Arianna P.O.V.

A faint sound reaches my ears. I can't really identify it. I just know that its annoying. Kinda like me I guess. Hey, I can tell what its saying!

No matter what the clothes you wear / Or how you do you do your hair / No matter what you try to change / I'll always feel the same / I'll always see you from the inside / The inside out / I'll always see you from the inside / The inside out / No matter what the car you drive / No makeup face disguise / I'll always see you from the inside / The inside out…

'Huh? It stopped.'

"Please tell me all girls here don't listen to this crap." I heard a voice say from above me, apparently the one who turned the sound off. …Hold it. I faintly recognize that voice.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bronzed hands clap over my mouth as I scream hysterically. 'There'sacartooncharacterinmyroom! There'sacartooncharacterinmyroom! There'sacartooncharacterinmyroom!'

"Be quiet!" Malik Ishtal whispered acidly. "You warned me about your mom and now you start yelling! "

Suddenly I remembered the insane events of last night, and how I had stressed to the one I agreed to take home how strict my mom was. I immediately composed myself and stopped yelling. Just then, I heard my father; "Ari? Are you okay? I heard screaming. …Is Ryan attacking you again?" Ryan was Arianna's little brother, and a very violent little seven-year-old.

"No dad, just fell out of my bed again!" Arianna lied quickly while shooing Malik under the bed. Her father walked in. He was a tall man with strong arms and slightly graying brown hair. "I'll be ready in a minute. Is mom still taking Anee and I school shopping?" Her dad nodded and told her to prepare for breakfast, which was pancakes, muffins and milk.

Arianna sighed and instructed Malik to stay under the bed and not to "look at anything" while she got dressed.

"Wouldn't even dream of it. Some nightmares maybe."

Arianna huffed and jumped on the bed, smashing Malik. After that, she changed into some dark blue jeans and a blood red sweatshirt. She then combed her hair quickly and told Malik to stay put once again while she went to go eat and sneak him some food. Malik nodded slightly under the bed, banging his head against a metal bar. "Ow." he said, making Arianna laugh loudly.

With Katie

Seto Kiaba stared mildly at the girl who was sleeping…and had been for a very long time. The let out a soft growl and gave Katie a not-so-gentle poke in the shoulder. A poke with his fist, I might add. However, nothing-and I mean nothing-can wake up Katie. Except for a few things, such as the loud announcement of "food!" from her mom or one of her sisters. But for our amusement and at Kiaba's expense, The Great Seto Kiaba was not aware of this unspoken fact.

Kiaba looked at the two figures, sprawled on the floor. 'How sweet,' he thought with a mocking tone, 'The inu and the koinu.1'

Elena's P.O.V.

There's something very irritating. I don't know what but it's irritating…It'd better not be Arianna again. Wait, why would Arianna be here? I didn't have a sleep over today. Yet I feel as if there is something foreign in this house, and I have a feeling it's not Katie's socks. …I still can't believe anybody could leave their socks…

I reluctantly stretched and put a foot out of bed, turning off my alarm clock and being careful not to disturb my dog. When my foot reached the ground there was a weird feeling on the floor. It felt like some strange kind of string. I looked down and saw a person with very spiky hair laying next to my bed. What…The…Reincarnation?

Normal P.OV. now.

After the chaos of the morning ensued the group of friends and characters met up at Hunter Elementary(their old school-except for Naomi, who is still too young to switch to Junior High), which was in walking distance of each of their residences. Once there they had absolutely no idea where to start, so basically everyone just broke off into different conversations…er, arguments.

"I can't stay with the inu and the koinu another day! It's not human to sleep that long and eat that much!" Kiaba complained.

"Don't call me inu!" Jounochi snarled back.

"What the crap does inu even mean!" Katie cried in confusion.

"Can we stop fighting now?" Pleaded Naomi.

"He tried to look at me when I was undressing." Arianna said, earning herself an "HUH!" from all of the crowd.

"There you go," Arianna voiced to Elena, "I told you I could shut everyone up."

Elena nodded to Arianna and turned to speak to the others. "Okay. The characters are going to need a few essentials. Namely: food, water, shelter, and clothes. As well as registration to our school. Now, how much of this can we cover easily?"

"They can come with me when I register, I just can't give them a ride." Arianna suggested. And Elena said she would handle the ride situation. "One problem has been solved." Arianna spoke, in an authoritative tone. She earned a few laughs from her friends and a mixture of scowls and small smiles from the characters.

"I can handle the rest with my credit card…for myself, anyway." Kiaba stated shortly. "We've already learned that it works."

Jounochi laughed. "Ol' Money Bags just can't live without his morning cup of Café Expresso Coffee2."

"Who can?" Arianna put in wistfully, though everyone ignored her. Why? Because she's annoying, that's why.

At this point everybody stopped ignoring Arianna and looked over at Elena. Her cheeks were flushed an unusual crimson, her eyes seemed to burn daggers through her glasses, and her fists clenched as her teeth clashed together. Yes, it was one of the most feared natural disasters ever. Elena was angry. Who was the target of this unadulterated rage?

"Seto Kiaba…" Elena said dangerously from between clenched teeth. "You. Had. Better. Pick out your burial place… Because if I have to step on someone's hair in the morning one more time…" Elena's icy tone was becoming louder and louder. So loud, in fact, that if 'icy' hadn't just been a metaphor our little group of main characters would probably have hypothermia and frostbite.

In other words, Elena was pissed. And not even The Great Seto Kiaba can stand up to Elena when she's pissed. Therefore Kiaba-being the intelligent person he is-smartly offered to pay for everyone's expenses. At least until they were out of this world. In short, Kiaba would be a poor, broke CEO before the month was over.

INTERMISSON

Kaede: I should be the one to write the school scene!

Yuzuki: NO! Too important! We want to keep people's attention, not bore them to death like Arianna does!

BloodEngel: I'm lonely.

Yuzuki: (eyes BloodEngel, then Kaede) Whattaya think her writing sounds like when she's lonely?

Kaede: (shrugs) Probably the same. (disappears)

Yuzuki: (disappears)

BloodEngel: ;; My other halves. They left me. (looks at computer) You'll never leave me will you Mr. Computer-sama? (huggles Mr. Computer-sama )

Mr. Computer-sama: (tries to escape but is surrounded by too much clutter) QQ;;;;

Aw, man.

END INTERMISSION

…

Arianna woke up at six-thirty, as always, and realized at once it was the first day of Middle School. She stretched and yawned before getting out of bed and have her mom hustle her to hurry and eat. It was going to be a long day.

Meanwhile, at Katie's house things were going much worse to say the least. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Katie yelled as she realized she had thirty minutes to get up, get dressed, brush her teeth, wash her face, comb her hair, eat, and drive to school. In other words…she was doomed.

And as these two ran around like wet chickens, over at the Yalkeishtarr ( Pronounced: Yawl-ah-key-shed-are) residence Elena was working at a normal, much less panicked pace.

Whereas Brittany was dealing with her brother's annoying cartoons and the brag that he didn't have to go to school until 8:30 A.M.

Naomi was also working steadily like Elena. Of course she had quite some time left until she had to enter her school building, although she was still nervous and counting seconds. 1…2…3…4…

As for the characters…

"I will not be late to school just because the inu cannot find his shoe!"

"Don't call me inu!"

"You just put a pancake in the waffle maker!"

"Yeah, well, it's not easy being stuck in an underground tomb most your life and then have to work with modern technology!"

"Who ate my brownie!"

"School is for mortals! I am the almighty King Theif-OW! Who's shoe was that!"

…To put it simply, living in a small condominium has it's disadvantages.

Not much later, the girls were in with their respective rides and the Elena had once again stuffed the characters into one car and drove them to school. Everyone riding with Elena was thinking one thing and one thing only. Why didn't Kiaba pose as a 16 year old and buy a car?

Three comfy rides and one horrible one later, everyone was staring at Chaise Junior High. It was a large, red brick building with a large bulletin that read "WELCOME NEW STUDENTS" in the school colours. (yellow, black and light blue. Yes, it doesn't work so well but it's my school colours.)

Without a word everyone filed in, forgetting anything about hesitation.

Blood: This chapter was going to go longer, but I got tiered. (yawn)

1 "The dog and the puppy"

2 BloodEngel: SCREW STARBUCKS! Café Expresso is probably the best flavoured drink place EVER! (takes sip of her flavoured hot chocolate.) Suddenly I am filled with a warm, tasty satisfaction! I have found a new meaning in life! I am now void of suicidal thoughts! DEPRESSION CANNOT HOLD ME DOWN!

Malik: How long will she be like this?

Yuzuki: A few hours. A day at most.

Bakura: I refuse to believe anything can be that good. (takes a sip of his stolen drink) ;; I-I've never been so happy in my life.

Yuzuki: Uh-oh.

Malik: Nani?

Yuzuki: This non-sensible rambling has just inspired a fic.

All(except BloodEngel who shall be writing said fic and is still under the influence of her hot chocolate): NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
