A/N: Sup! Guess what time it is...UPDATE TIME! Yay! I left you guys with a little bit of a cliffhanger there, hope ya don't hate me too much. :-P. Guess what, I was gonna update this fic a few of days ago, but DAMN it was hot, so I got incredibly lazy for the next few days. I mean you know when it's so hot to the point where you just don't wanna do jack? I mean the type of hot where you sweat when you're not even doing anything. We would cut the air on, but we're cheap so, you know it's either the AC or Cable...Hmm. Tough ultimatum, eh? It's these damn crackhead gas prices! UGH! Anyway on top of not being really motivated to write (remember my 3m's) I spent most of my time in shameless desperation of trying to beat GTA: San Andreas. Unfortunely, I'm stuck on Supply Lines, those of you who have the game can feel my pain right now. :-( Enough rambling, here's chapter 7, enjoy!

Disclaimer: :yawns: Do I really even have to tell you? Okay, fine...I don't own them...happy now?

Note: You may not wanna skip over the "previously on battle of the sexes" part because that bit where the team B's compete (the one I had to cut out of the last chapter because it was too long) is in there...just to bring to your attention. Hopefully you're actually reading this and not skipping over it, otherwise...you're screwed.

Warning: When I say Update, damn it I mean UPDATE! Another long chapter guys! Hate it or love it!

Battle of the Sexes: Anime Style

Chapter 7: You Light My Fire!

Previously, on Battle of the Sexes: Anime Style...

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) It was a rather intelligent plan if I would say so myself. So utterly frightening, yet something about it almost seemed...poetically cruel. *EVIL SMIRK*...

"...See, now all that time you spent fussing we could've been working on a way to prepare for this!" Pan shouted angrily towards Dorothy, who surprisingly said nothing.

"Not to worry girls, more than likely, they're coming in here to get those pictures. So Hilde and I thought this up..." Keiko began as she and the rest of the girls huddled together...

"Who is it?" Faye asked in a most annoyed tone.

"Kurama." Kurama's voice was soft and muffled from the other side.

"What do you want, and if you say something like 'a truce' I swear I'll kick your ass!" Faye spat.

"No, nothing like that. However, we do need to have a talk. Being that I am the most rational of my teammates, it has been decided that I be the one to have the talk with you ladies." Kurama stated humbly...

"...Fine, whatever." Faye sighed as she opened the door. Not seconds before she noticed that Kurama had a camouflage print bandanna covering his nose and mouth, did a clear mist fill throughout the villa causing her and the other girls to cough violently.

"K-Kurama!" Botan coughed out as she witnessed the strange plant within his hand emitting the strange mist.

"What are you..." Faye trailed but was soon silenced as she immediately went into a trance along with the rest of the girls...

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) It's my very own creation. A plant that's enzymes act as a powerful hypnotic and mind control substance. Whomever is exposed is virtually helpless and at their 'master's' mercy. Oh but it didn't stop there, no I had much more under my sleeve...we all did. *EVIL CHUCKLE*...

Goten: Dragonball Z/GT (Guys) We had it all figured out! Nothing was going to stop us! HAHA we were unstoppable! Victory was ours! Nothing could've gone wrong! Why do we men always bite off more than we can chew? *AWKWARD SILENCE*...

"...So what are we doing?" Cagalli asked.

"Well guys, today's challenge will prove to be both fun and simple." Johnny began. Just then Sachiya entered with a rack of silver spacesuit looking vests with guns hooked to the side. "Ladies and gentlemen, today you will be competing in the classic game of Laser Tag!" Jonny exclaimed to which everyone basically seemed satisfied with...

"...The winner for today's challenge will receive the Chibi Wolf Hero and this for their entire team," Jonny regarded Sachiya who unveiled the challenge prize. Again the 'ooh's' and 'ahh's' said it all, the prize was delicious. "a Sony mini DVD player complete with headset, DVD case and the latest movie out on DVD Napoleon Dynamite!"

"We gotta pep it up girls." Faye regarded her team who all nodded in determined agreement.

"This challenge is perfect guys." Yusuke whispered to his team who all nodded in agreement with knowing smirks on their faces...

"...Alright team B's get ready." Jonny nodded towards both teams on each end of the room as he prepared to sound his horn.

"Hey guys, check out the girls." Dearka pointed towards Faye and her team as they continued to wink and blow kisses towards the guys seductively.

"Strange, we didn't spray the activator." Toboe gulped.

"BLEEP, but Yusuke's crack team did! It's on the BLEEPing vests!" Not moments after Spike's shocking revelation did Jonny sound his horn and the girls charged...literally.

Sesshomaru: Inuyasha (Guys) Nothing frightens me. However, having young Dorothy eye me the way that she was...*PAUSES*...I would rather not discuss it.

"Bra, I'm warning you!" Android 17 held up his gun frantically.

"Come here, sweetcakes!" Bra sang.

"Shoot her, you fool!" Hiei griped as he was preoccupied with dodging Pan's rather aggressive advances.

Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I'm usually the one to back Kurama's plans, but this was by far the worst plan yet! I didn't know what was worse, Pan casting off moon eyes or Sachiya casting off a psychotic combination of death glares and swoons. *SHUDDERS*

Wufei knew that Sally was headed for him, and so he made quick with retrieving his weapon. "Oh BLEEP!" He breathed frantically as she gained distance. He could hear his other teammates cheering him on, and he really could've punched Yusuke and the others for not spraying the said 'activators' on their skin instead of the vests. "Idiots!" He aimed for the charging woman, but was thrown off as Dearka stumbled into him from having Miriallia's weight on his back.

"Damn it Mir!" Dearka shouted as the impact set off her gun taking him out of the game.

"Aw, is Dearka upset? I make it better." Miriallia crooned in a baby voice.

"Man, this is ridiculous." Jonny sighed as he witnessed Wufei and Sally take one another out of the game. "Wufei, Sally, and Dearka...that's it!" He shouted.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I take full responsibility for everything that happened in today's challenge. In English...I'm BLEEPing pissed off! *FOLDS ARMS AND POUTS*

Toboe scored points for his team as he took out an enthralled Leara. "Man, those mind control seeds are awesome, Kurama!" Toboe cheered until he witnessed Yzak trying to fend off a totally gone wild Flay.

"Ha ha! You know I like it rough, right Yzak?" Flay sang as she danced around the once silver-haired boy, dodging his gunfire.

"Come on Yzak, you're off your game man!" Dearka yelled.

"Damn it! Shut up, I'm trying, alright!" Yzak gritted as he struggled to get Flay off of his back.

Toboe: Wolf's Rain (Guys) Ooh...never mind. We screwed up big time. *DEPRESSED*

"Yukina please, not in front of Hiei!" Kurama pleaded.

"Oh, I'm not worried about Hiei." Yukina said huskily as she playfully crept around Kurama.

"You touch her you die, fox!" Hiei growled as he and Pan played an annoying game of cat and mouse. Speedy Gonzalez mouse, that is.

"But you-"

"DIE!" Hiei reiterated harshly.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) One must wonder why he entrusted me with Yukina to begin with. Honestly, Hiei can be so completely unorthodox at times.

Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Anyone's better than that once orange-haired fool! Hn! *BROODS*

"Spike, you're out of there!" Jonny called.

"That's not fair, I've got two hot chicks after me!" Spike whined.

"Yeeah, and that's bad, why?" Jonny mocked.

"GRR! Damn you women!" Spike shouted.

"You know you like it, Spikey." Julia teased.

"Yeah, stop being such a prude." Faye added as she discreetly aimed behind her back taking an Aeka-preoccupied Trunks out of the game.

"Trunks you're out!" Jonny called.

"What? Who?" Trunks looked around in surprise. He then cast Aeka a dirty look.

"Why, don't look at me. After all, you know where my hands were, and they most definitely were nowhere near the trigger. Hehe, at least not on the gun that is." Aeka replied with an innocent wink causing Trunks to blush shamelessly.

"You...you...stupid, FEMALE!" Trunks pouted as he retreated to the side with the rest of his team.

"YUKINA!" Kurama squealed suddenly as her hand went towards a naughty area. He nervously fired his gun and took the blue-haired ice maiden out of the game.

"Oh...poo." Yukina feigned disappointment, poking out her bottom lip in a pouting motion as she retreated to the side blowing a kiss towards a blushing Kurama.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I don't understand it, my plans never backfire! They're always successful, because I'm incredibly intelligent! And I have perfect hair! *FLIPS HIS BLACK TRESSES VAINLY*

"Stay puppy!" Blue crooned as she booty bumped Hige against the wall, skillfully setting off her trigger as she did, taking the chubby wolf out of the game.

"Aw BLEEP!" He groaned as he slowly dragged to the side with the rest of his team.

Hige: Wolf's Rain (Guys) That stupid bitch! And, I don't mean that in a bad way. If you think about it...technically, she is a bitch. *SMIRKS*

"That's it! We are SO over, Cagalli!" Athrun shouted as he was taken out by the small blonde directly after he had succeeded in excluding Dorothy, relieving Sesshomaru of his burden.

"Aw, you don't mean that do you?" Cagalli cast off her puppy dog eyes as she discreetly reached behind her back taking Toboe out of the game.

"Hey!" Toboe whined as he exited the playing area.

Toboe: Wolf's Rain (Guys) No fair! And I was just about to help Inuyasha and take out Kagome! *POUTS*

"Damn it Kagome, would you knock it off!" Inuyasha growled.

"I knew it! You're thinking about her aren't you?" Kagome covered her face to hide tears.

"Her? Her who?" Inuyasha cocked an eye.

"Kikyo, you dummy!" Kagome shouted.

"Huh?" Inuyasha trailed.

Inuyasha: Inuyasha (Guys) Rule number one fellas. When she asks you if you're thinking about another chick, just reply with a simple "huh" as it gives you time to think up a believable lie, because nine times out of ten...we are.

"OOOH!" Kagome fumed squeezing her fists to her sides, pulling the trigger 'accidentally,' and taking him out of the game. "Oops."

"Oops my ass, you did that BLEEP on purpose!" Inuyasha grumbled as he stormed off towards the side with the rest of his team.

"Sorry." Kagome innocently shrugged as she proceeded to play the game. "Think fast Kurama!" Kagome did a tumble roll and aimed straight for the former red-head taking him out as well. "Score!"

"Yeah Kagome!" Botan shouted from the sidelines as she and the other girls cheered their teammates on.

"BLEEP! You BLEEPING BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!" Kurama growled.

"Wow Kurama, you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Hilde teased from the sidelines.

"BLEEP you!" Kurama shouted stunning his other teammates as he retreated from the game tossing off his game gear angrily.

Yusuke: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Whoever thought that goody two-shoes Kurama would out-curse me! He was really pissed, though. I guess he felt like the whole thing was his fault. Which it was, but hey...we all BLEEP up every now and then right?

Yzak had finally managed to take both Flay and Miriallia out of the game and proceeded to join Android 17, Sesshomaru and Hiei in the attempt to win the round for their team.

Yzak: Gundam Seed (Guys) We had to win as a means to heal the wounds of humiliation and embarrassment. This is what happens when you entrust Naturals to plan your attacks for you. *PAUSES AS SOMEONE FROM BEHIND THE CAMERA MOUTHS SOMETHING TO HIM* What do you mean he's not a Natural? Then what the hell is he? *PAUSE* Demon? *PAUSE* In a human's body? *ANOTHER PAUSE.* What the BLEEP!

"Gotcha!" Android 17 said as he took Cagalli out of the game.

"Did you forget about me?" Bra teased as she took Android 17 out.

"You should watch your back, girl." Sesshomaru stated as he took Bra out.

"And you should watch yours." Faye exclaimed as she took out the former silver-haired demon.

"Damn." Sesshomaru growled as he retreated.

"GRRRR!" Yzak shouted out as he went berserk and took out Aeka, Julia, and Kagome, leaving behind Blue, Faye and Pan.

"Hey Yzak!" Flay's voice sounded from the side causing him to turn his head.

"WHAT!" He shouted angrily only to have a lovely view of Flay's exposed chest.

"Flay!" Miriallia exclaimed in surprise.

"Whoa..." Yzak and Hiei both stopped in their tracks.

Faye saw this as her chance as she proceeded to take out the former silver-haired Coordinator and his Fire Demon teammate.

"BLEEP!" Yzak shouted as he slammed his Laser Tag gear onto the floor and stormed over towards his team.

Noticing Jonny's stunned expression, Sachiya decided to snap her fingers in front of his eyes in order to bring him back to life. "Yo! Jonny! Game's over man!"

"Yes, the game...right." Jonny shook his head.

"Flay you are SO bad." Bra whispered playfully to her teammate.

"Yes, I know. It's part of what makes my character so adorable." She prided...

"...For the men we have a final score of 2700, and for the ladies a final score of 2300. Still trailing girls, however the winner for today's challenge and the Sony mini DVD player including the greatest movie ever made Napoleon Dynamite, gaining a total of 160 points for their team, ladies!" The girls then cheered. "Chibi Wolf Hero goes to...Faye!"

...Unfortunately the boys ended up having to let Toboe go...nothing more depressing then the sound of a disappointed wolf howling. And the girls finally found some backbone and released Relena...

"Sorry to see you go Relena." Johnny sighed.

"...Oh it's alright. True, I will miss my team dearly. However, I must say, at least we went out with a bang. Right ladies?" Relena winked towards the girls as they clung to their 'sweeties...'

Kiba: Wolf's Rain (Guys) Something didn't feel right. And I'm a wolf, my senses are keen and it's rather easy for me to pick up on the scent of bull BLEEP! And those girls reeked of it!

"...What the hell's going on?" Yusuke quirked an eyebrow as Keiko wrapped her arms around his waist...

"...Spill it already!" Yzak yelled impatiently, as he roughly brushed Flay's hand out of his hair for the fifty millionth time.

"Oh you boys are so..." Faye began in a sultry tone as she and Julia teasingly walked their fingers up Spike's chest towards his neck, chin and finally his head where they both gave him a good...thumping...

"...STUPID!"

"Hey!" Spike flinched.

"Okay, what the hell?" Ed growled.

Suddenly the doors to the old recreational center flew open as an extra camera crew along with a guy in a baseball cap, t-shirt and jeans trotted in laughing and pointing at the boys. He finally made it towards the girls and slapped five with Hilde, Keiko, Blue, Cheza, and Yukina.

"Wait, I know you." Dearka began.

"Ashton Kutcher?" Duo shouted in surprise.

"Boys, you just got Punk'd!" Ashton and the girls announced in unison as they laughed until their sides began to hurt.

Duo: Gundam Wing (Guys) What the BLEEP, man!

"Man, you guys should have seen your faces!" Meryl chuckled.

"Hey, somebody wanna explain to me what the hell is going on!" Kuwabara shouted as he balled his fists to his sides.

"I think I should take this one." Blue began.

"Blue?" Hige cocked an ear.

"Please, do share." Sachiya leaned in, she was just as confused as the boys.

"Well, it all started when I was chilling out on the beach the other day..." Blue began her story.

Blue laid out on the warm sand listening as the ocean beat against the shore. She couldn't help but laugh to herself as the human boys passed by her eyeing her flirtatiously. If they only knew they were flirting with a wolf. "Men. No matter the species, they're all incredibly dense." Blue chuckled. Just then her ears perked as they caught onto the sound of distant voices. Distant familiar voices.

"...I know that will help us retrieve the photographs from the girls, and ensure our victory in the next challenge." That was Kurama's voice.

"What the hell?" Blue cocked her head as if to hear the conversation better.

"Yeah but, brainwash?" Came Yusuke's voice.

"It's not brainwash, it's a love spell. It will put them so deeply under our thrall that they will be helpless to notice anything else other than us." Kurama explained.

"You mean like hypnosis?" Came Kira's voice.

"Somewhat, yes." Kurama answered.

"Ah, I get it. Ooh, I have an idea of how to help out with that." Kira began.

Blue: Wolf's Rain (Girls) With my sensitive hearing, I was able to listen in on the guys' conversation and henceforth got their plan to hypnotize us and then put us under a love spell. So naturally I warned my teammates.

"HYPNOTIZE US! You've gotta be kidding me!" Faye shouted.

"Quiet Faye, I'm sure that if I could listen in on them, the other wolves could hear us with no problem as well." Blue held her finger to her lips to ensure silence.

"That's no problem. They will have to get in first." Aeka prided.

"Right princess, your barrier." Ryoko added.

"That won't be enough. Sooner or later, your barrier may give. We need a backup plan that counters theirs." Keiko exclaimed.

"This One could be of some assistance." Cheza offered.

"Yes, and I could help as well." Yukina added.

Keiko: Yu Yu Hakusho (Girls) So Cheza and Yukina decided to concoct a remedy that would allow us to be immune to Kurama's plants. And Hilde and I pretty much ran away with the whole Oscar Performance idea from there! *GIGGLES*

"So wait, let me get this straight!" Yusuke began as he held his hand up in front of him. "You chicks were acting the entire time?"

"DUH!" The girls chorused.

"And the Academy Award goes to..." Winry chimed as the rest of the girls burst out into uncontrollable laughter.

"Oh hell." Miroku sighed.

"Oh, and by the way, those pictures you 'stole,' are yours to keep because we still have the originals." Cagalli added. "It's called ordering doubles, you retards!"

"D'oh!" Kurama slapped his forehead.

"But Heero and I heard you girls freaking out this morning!" Dearka added.

"Another Oscar winning performance." Aeka smiled.

"We knew you were spying on us. I could smell you!" Blue laughed.

"So wait, where do you come in?" Kiba pointed towards Ashton Kutcher.

"Who me? Oh, I had nothing to do with this. I'm just here 'cause this BLEEP is hella funny! You girls did an awesome job!" Ashton chuckled.

"Why thank you, Ashton." Lacus nodded.

"Hey, if you guys would just like, sign this release form so-" Ashton was cut off as Hiei, used his darkness technique, burning him to a cinder.

"Oh my God, he killed Ashton Kutcher!" Hilde shouted.

"You bastard!" Pan yelled.

"Hn."

Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) How dare he ask us to sign the release. Foolish trucker hat-wearing human. He won't be punking anyone else ever again. Celebrities can now do stupid BLEEP without worrying if it will be broadcast nationwide, but instead now only worry about the usual cops and feds on their ass. You hear that Hollywood...you owe me. *REMOVES HIS CAMOUFLAGE HEADBAND AND PROCEEDS TO HYPNOTIZE VIEWING PUBLIC*

Off-Camera Director: Fade to black, damn it! Fade to black! *CAMERA GOES BLACK*

"I don't get it, the point was to have you girls under a love spell to distract you from winning the game, how the hell did you manage to kick OUR asses?" Vash scratched his head.

"Well, that was easy," Keiko began. "you boys were so preoccupied with our sultry advances that in truth it was YOU who was too distracted to win. We had it all figured out from the beginning."

Keiko: Yu Yu Hakusho (Girls) Bottom line, men are slow.

"Honestly Kurama, of all of the ideas to conquer and destroy...why a love spell?" Serena cocked an eye.

"Well to be perfectly honest, the idea came to me in the form of...a song." Kurama scratched the back of his head nervously.

"A song?" Keiko arched an eyebrow.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Indeed, and quite an exquisite song it is.

The other day in White Shore...

"...Let me help you, take off your shoes. Untie your shoe-strings, take off your cuff links. What you want to eat boo? Let me feed you. Let me run your bathwater, whatever you desire, I'll aspire..."

"Damn what I've said in the past about Naturals, this one I am definitely willing to learn a little tolerance for." Yzak smirked as he, Dearka, Kurama, Hiei, Heero and Wufei sat in the living area watching music videos. The current showing of Destiny's Child "Cater 2 U" strongly drawing his undivided attention towards the infamous lead singer.

"Yzak, I'm appalled, you, drooling over Natural chicks now?" Dearka teased as he watched the video intently.

"Oh, this woman is no Natural." Yzak mused. "She...is a goddess." Yzak stated firmly.

"Hn." Hiei huffed. His eye strayed slightly towards Kurama and he couldn't help the raising of his brows at the other's expression.

"Hmm." Kurama hummed.

"What are you thinking, fox?" Hiei questioned bluntly.

"These beauties have enlightened me." Kurama breathed.

"Enlightened you?" Dearka huffed. "To what, an extra five minutes in the bathroom?" Dearka chuckled.

"No. A way to obtain infinite victory in this contest." Kurama stroked his chin in deep thought, the song then progressed to the chorus.

"Let me cater to you, 'cause baby this is your day. Do anything for my man, baby you blow me away. I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert, and so much more. Anything you want, just let me cater to you..."

"Now, that's what women are made for." Wufei commented. "Our competition could learn something from them." He finished flinching slightly once Kurama snapped his fingers and abruptly stood to his feet trotting towards the stairs quickly brushing past Tsume on the way.

"What's with him?" The gray wolf grimly questioned earning empty shrugs from the music video-distracted males in the room.

"He's experiencing 'enlightenment.'" Heero answered flatly.

"Or just going to jerk off!" Dearka teased as he stretched out on the couch and watched the remainder of the video.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Hold the phone!" Hilde held up her hands. "You got the idea to put us under a love spell from...Destiny's Child?"

Hilde: Gundam Wing (Girls) I think Kurama's doing more than just growing his "special" plants, ladies and gentlemen. *BLANK FACE*

"Kurama, I thought that you were smarter than that!" Botan huffed.

"To even fathom the thought of us stooping to Destiny's Child's level further shed's light upon the stupidity of the male gender as a whole!" Cagalli growled.

Cagalli: Gundam Seed (Girls) Morons!

"And as punishment for even THINKING about hypnotizing us and putting us under a love spell, we've brought back an old friend!" Bra began, smirking evilly along with the rest of her team.

Goten: Dragonball Z/GT (Guys) GULP!

"Oh Tiiiiigre!" The girls crooned as the giant, "overly friendly" Great White shark burst through the doors, wobbling on his fins as he proceeded towards the guys.

"My boys!" Tigre exclaimed with glee as he extended his fins as if to hug them.

"AHHHHHH!" The boys all screamed in unison.

Koga: Inuyasha (Guys) Those crazy bitches!

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I had a feeling that they would make us pay, however I had no idea that it would be the reintroduction of that beast of the sea, who somehow was mysteriously walking and surviving on land, into our lives.

The boys all scattered as they crowded for the emergency exit, Tigre gaining on their heels and further terrorizing the hell out of them with his words. "My little krill muffins are fleeing!" Tigre whined as he continued to chase behind the boys.

"That's it girls! The gloves are off!" Yusuke shouted as he frantically ran away from Tigre with the rest of his team.

"They've been off from the beginning, ya dumbass!" Faye yelled back.

"But Sesshomaru, crab cake, I thought we had a connection before!" Tigre called out to the now black-haired demon as he continued to chase behind the guys.

"You will keep your distance, you fiend!" Sesshomaru gritted as he hurriedly fled with the rest of his team bursting a hole through the wall as they made their way down towards the beach.

Android 18: Dragonball Z/GT (Girls) Oh yeah, this game is SO ours!

"Alright ladies!" Hilde cheered along with the rest of the girls who remained in the recreational center.

"So, you girls aren't really in love with the guys?" Sachiya confirmed.

"Hell no! Me in love with that broody tea-cup poodle, please!" Pan chuckled.

"Don't talk about Hiei that way!" Sachiya fumed.

"Hey, I'll talk about him anyway I want!" Pan yelled back facing the purple-haired girl.

"Oh yeah?"

"YEAH!"

"LADIES!" Jonny intervened. "Enough, Sachiya let's go." Jonny exited the recreational center.

"Hiei is mine!" She exclaimed as she trailed behind Jonny.

"You can have the little bloodsucker!" Pan shouted.

"Why you-"

"Come on Sachiya!" Jonny pulled her by the ear out of the recreational center.

"Ow! The piercings! Watch the piercings!" The two disappeared out of the doors.

Evening in Starfish...

"...And did you see Spike's face when we thumped him?" Faye chuckled along with her team.

"Priceless!" Julia laughed until her sides began to hurt.

"And what was up with their decision making skills?" Ayame intercepted.

"What do you mean?" Keiko asked between laughs.

"Well, how they chose us, I mean...Tsume and me?" Ayame swallowed.

Ayame: Inuyasha (Girls) What the BLEEP?

"Yes, and that Trunks fellow choosing me?" Aeka half-laughed.

"Maybe, it's because you were the only one left, but Trowa has some explaining to do when we get a chance." Ryoko commented.

"I was more than certain that Koga would've chosen me but instead..." Kagome trailed.

"Me and Catherine!" Serena busted out laughing.

"I'm sure that's because Inuyasha probably threatened to kill him if he even so much as eyed you wrong." Sango chuckled.

"Yeah, you're probably right." Kagome laughed.

Kagome: Inuyasha (Girls) I swear, he's so possessive!

"I always knew that Goten had a crush on me!" Android 18 busted out laughing along with Bra and Pan.

"Well I already understand what was on Dearka's mind. That jerk!" Miriallia huffed.

"To be honest, what got me was Hiei choosing Pan! He went through with the 'binding' and everything!" Hilde teased the shorter girl.

"Ugh! Don't remind me! I still have "Hiei Tongue" after that crap! Where's my Emmy damn it! I earned it!" Pan griped.

"I'd say we all did. I mean come on...Yzak? What the BLEEP?" Flay gagged.

"Speaking of...Flay...oh my GOD!" Miriallia began.

"What?" Flay shrugged innocently.

"I can not believe that you flashed Yzak and Hiei!" Miriallia gave the other girl a stern look.

Miriallia: Gundam Seed (Girls) Flay's my friend and all, but in the back of my head I tend to envision her on the next Girls Gone Wild Videos. And I can't help but wonder why that is. *FAKE DUMBFOUNDED LOOK*

"Actually, my intention was to only flash Yzak in order to distract him. Hiei just happened to be within flash-range. The results truly were futile." Flay answered firmly.

Flay: Gundam Seed (Girls) Why is everyone always judging me? I'm just a poor little rich girl, scared and confused from the scars that have been inflicted upon my shallow yet complex soul as a result of the war. Cut me some BLEEPing slack already! Geez!

"You know what, I wanna do something!" Bra jumped up.

"I think the boys have had enough for one day, Bra." Catherine smirked.

"No, not to the boys. I mean, we should do something together! You know go out some place!" Bra suggested.

"Like where?" Leara raised.

"I dunno, we're in Daytona Beach Florida, there has to be someplace to go!" Bra exclaimed.

"Hey, I remember some guys telling me the other day that they were heading to this dance club called Razzle's. Said it was the hottest spot here." Blue perked.

"You mean those same guys that were hitting on you when you went down to the beach?" Winry quirked a playful eye.

"Yeah, them." Blue chuckled.

"Cool, what time is it?" Kagome hopped from the couch.

"A quarter after six." Meryl answered.

"Great, that gives us plenty of time!" Bra added.

"Everybody in?" Faye turned to her team.

"This One will stay behind. Please, have a good time." Cheza sighed.

"Aw, come on Cheza." Blue begged.

"This One, would not feel comfortable in that sort of environment." Cheza informed softly.

Cheza: Wolf's Rain (Girls) Crowds of people, loud music, intoxicating liquids...trouble waiting to happen. This One would not be involved. No matter how good This One's tolerance for alcohol is. *GUILTY GRIN*

"Anyone else wanna sit this one out?" Bra looked around.

"I think that I'll stay with Cheza." Yukina raised.

"Oh, Yukina you too?" Keiko pouted.

"I'm sure that Cheza will want some company." Yukina justified.

Yukina: Yu Yu Hakusho (Girls) Actually, I just didn't have anything to wear, or I totally would have gone. Gee, I have some shopping to do!

"Oh alright, everyone else is in, right?" Bra looked around.

"Oh yeah!" The girls chorused as they all split in order to get prepared for some serious partying that night.

"This One, wonders how the boys are doing."

"Hmm." Yukina nodded.

Disturbing moments in White Shore HQ...

The entire villa was consumed in complete silence as the boys sat in their rather mangled and ruined military outfits. Compliments of one of the creepiest sharks since Jaws. They all just stared off into space, some fiddling with their hair noticing how the natural colors were beginning to come in at the roots.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) It's one thing to lose. But to lose to females who fire your plans at victory into your face and then have a living nightmare chasing after you to do the gods know what, is unheard of. Except for maybe in Anime. Then, you know, anything's possible.

"This can never happen again." Yusuke regarded his team.

"No BLEEP, Sherlock." Kuwabara released an exasperated sigh.

"I say we lay low from now on." Yusuke raised.

"What are you proposing?" Trowa asked.

"To put it simply...that we wallow in our sorrow and embarrassment and concentrate on one thing, and one thing only." An evil smirk spread across Yusuke's face.

"One thing huh?" Heero cast him a knowing smirk.

"We defeat the girls at all costs. No more vendetta's, only slaughter from now on. We fight to the death...we win." Yusuke's eyes held a psychotic determined glow about them as he eyed his team who also had the same looks upon their faces.

"Right." Hiei nodded.

"Can I hear it, platoon!" Yusuke shouted urging his 'platoon' to shout their trademark chant.

"OO-RAH!" The men barked.

"Fall out!" Yusuke commanded.

The boys all then split from the meeting to collect themselves.

"Never again, girls." Yusuke replied darkly.

Yusuke: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) This is it, through my own blood, sweat, and tears, we men WILL prevail!

Party Time at Razzle's...

"WHAT?" Hilde shouted back to Serena over the extra loud sound of a dance mix of Rihanna's "Pon De Replay." She continued to dance with a hottie in the middle of the dance floor as she tried harshly to hear Serena over the music.

"I SAID, WHERE IS FAYE? I HAVE HER DRINK!" Serena shouted back as she too felt the music and began to subtly bob her head to the beat.

"OH, SHE'S OVER THERE!" Hilde pointed towards the table that they had chosen once they had all arrived. She furrowed her eyebrows as she noticed that the girl in question was no longer there.

"I DON'T SEE HER!" Serena shouted back as she shielded the Strawberry Daiquiri that Faye had requested from being bumped into from a rather wild dancing individual in front of her.

"ME NEITHER!" Hilde then bumped into Bra who was jamming to the music with a tanned-skinned hottie of her own.

"OOPS! MY BAD HIL!" Bra yelled her apology as she continued to grind against her dancing partner.

"IT'S OKAY! HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN FAYE?" Hilde questioned as the DJ skillfully switched to the next song...Ying Yang Twins' "Wait (The Whisper Song)."

"ISN'T THAT HER OVER THERE?" Bra cocked a playful eye.

"OH. MY. GOD." Serena and Hilde both said in unison. Faye, who had made sure to dress hot for the night out in a red halter, black flared mini skirt and black Espadrille's was executing a rather attention-drawing sexy table dance.

Serena: Sailor Moon (Girls) She couldn't have been drunk because I had her drink! I don't know what got into her!

"HEY, YOU GUYS KNOW HER?" Bra's dance partner questioned the girls as if Faye were a celebrity.

"YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I'M THIRSTY LET'S TAKE A BREAK." Bra requested, seeming almost non-phased by Faye's little display as she and the guy disappeared within the crowd towards the bar.

Bra: Dragonball Z/GT (Girls) She calls THAT a table dance! PUH-LEEZ! With THAT ass! Or should I say...NO-ass! I'm the queen of table entertainment damn it! *HUFFS* Amateur!

"GUYS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT FAYE IS DOING?" A shocked Ayame ran up to both Serena and Hilde, the two of them unable to move as their eyes were glued upon Faye as she continued to maneuver in a way that was frighteningly similar to a stripper.

"FAYE!" Lacus managed to push her way through the surrounding crowd towards the edge of the table as she tried to wave the woman down. "FAYE, STOP THAT THIS INSTANT! WE ARE HERE TO HAVE FUN, NOT TO PERFORM FANSERVICE!"

"QUIET! THIS IS MY PART!" Faye yelled back as she proceeded to gyrate her hips once the song reached it's chorus...her "part."

"FAYE CUT IT OUT ALREADY!" Flay shouted in an annoyed tone. "FOR CHRIST SAKE YOU'RE SHIFTING THE ATTENTION OFF OF ME!"

Winry, Leara and Lacus who were all trying their darnedest to stop Faye could do nothing but stop and cast Flay a blank stare.

"WHAT?" Flay exclaimed.

Flay: Gundam Seed (Girls) What? I specifically wore my sluttiest outfit for attention drawing purposes. I had a right to be pissed! Do you have any idea how annoying it is to have every guy come by and pull the string loose from your tie-up halter just to have their attention pulled away by a table-dancing floozy? NO! I didn't think so!

The song had long ended as Faye hopped down from the table pulling the bills out of her waistband. She had counted eighty five bucks. "Damn!" She chuckled to herself. She then shifted her gaze over towards Lacus. Her eyes narrowed in deep thought.

Faye: Cowboy Bebop (Girls) I knew it probably was a cruel idea, but I had managed to make eighty five bucks that night. I figured if I could pull off eighty five bucks, one could only IMAGINE how much sweet little Lacus could bring in.

"Hey Lacus, why is Faye looking at you like that?" Winry whispered.

"I do not know." Lacus whispered back as she bit her lower lip.

Suddenly Faye did something that the girls would never live down, especially Lacus. "HEY, YOU GUYS WANT MORE!" Faye shouted to the crowd who all expectantly responded with a bunch of manly "yeahs." Faye immediately trotted towards Lacus and lifted the pink-haired princess onto the table.

"FAYE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Lacus squeaked.

"OH COME ON PRINCESS, LIVE A LITTLE!" Faye pushed.

"I MOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT DO WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING OF ME!" Lacus shouted back. The growing cheers of the crowd made her even more uncomfortable. Her eyes wandered throughout the crowd and she caught sight of a rather handsome looking guy. He gave her a suggestive wink over the dark lenses of his sunglasses, causing her to blush. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Lacus tried to get down but the crowd only pushed her back.

"COME ON, DO IT! LACUS! LACUS! LACUS!" Faye started a cheer for the pink-haired girl of which the crowd followed.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Girls) It was insanity! Completely immoral in every aspect! How could anyone expect a lady such as myself to do such a thing?

"LACUS!" Faye shouted. "EITHER YOU DO IT OR MR. PINK GETS IT!" Faye held up the mechanical ball along with her trusted pistol.

"Haro! Haro!" The mechanical ball chimed.

"NO! MR. PINK!" Lacus cried out.

Sango: Inuyasha (Girls) Oh, this was a good one! That damned thing gets on the entire house's nerves. Not only do we not understand what it's saying half the time but...it's just annoying! She owed us this much!

"BUT FAYE!" Lacus cried.

"NO BUTS! EITHER YOU SHAKE YOUR ASS AND MAKE ENOUGH DOUGH TO BUY SOME KIND OF MUZZLE FOR THIS THING, OR IT'S SCRAP METAL!" Faye grimly promised.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Girls) How could she say such things? I thought that they all loved Mr. Pink! Oh the humanity! *WHINES*

"OOOH." Lacus groaned. Looking between the crowd and her threatened Mr. Pink repeatedly, she came to a final decision. "FINE!"

"GOOD! MAKE THAT MONEY GIRL!" Faye cheered. "HIT IT DJ!"

The DJ obliged Faye's request and put on an appropriate record for the show...Jessica Simpson's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin.'"

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Girls) Of all of the songs to play, the DJ HAD to play THAT one!

Heaving a sigh, Lacus proceeded to get the feel of the music and began to move her hips. Closing her eyes, she tried righteously to block out the sounds of "shake it mamas" and "I ain't never seen a ass like thats" that came from her male audience. She felt a hand in the waist band of her sun skirt. She opened one eye and was shocked to see the one hundred dollar bill stuffed into it. "This has to be a mistake." She said to herself. She looked into the crowd and saw the same handsome guy from before winking at her knowingly.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Girls) Now it's highly out of character for me to get excited over money. But MY he was highly attractive! Heaven knows that I love Kira dearly but currently, we're at odd ends, and every girl knows that when you and your guy are at each other's throats, that it basically means "guy hunting" is a must, especially if he looks like THAT! Wooh! *FANS HERSELF*

Something suddenly came over the pink-haired Coordinator, as the music got good to her and she moved her body more loosely and seductively as she sang along with the song teasingly towards all of the guys in the crowd; especially the handsome guy who had been giving her the most attention throughout the duration of her little show.

"WOW! CHECK HER OUT!" Cagalli shouted over the music as she danced to herself.

"I KNOW!" Keiko shouted back as she too danced to herself.

"GO LACUS! GO LACUS! GO LACUS! GO LACUS!" The crowd cheered.

"SHE'S NOT THAT GOOD." Bra scoffed.

"You jealous?" Sally cocked an eyebrow.

"HA!" Bra shot back.

Bra: Dragonball Z/GT (Girls) Me jealous of that skinny little pink-haired marshmallow softy? What the hell do you think this is? Bizzaro World? *OBVIOUSLY IRKED*

Lacus continued to dance out the song, pulling in more dough from the show. The song had ended and she managed to collect two hundred and fifty five smacks. "LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE PINK-HAIRED PRINCESS!" Faye played the role of MC as the crowd got hype and the party thickened as the rest of the girls continued to have fun. All except for Bra, who sulked at the bar, evilly turning down every guy that so much looked at her funny.

"Hey there-"

"BLEEP off!" Bra snapped.

Morning in White Shore HQ

The boys were awakened by the musical tunes of the house's Nokia cell phone. Kurama reached over to read the message as the rest of them didn't waste any time getting ready.

"What does it say?" Hiei yawned.

"The temperature is 100 degrees and rising outside. If you think that's hot, then maybe you're not ready for today's challenge. Dress in outdoor wear, bring water bottles and be ready to leave the villas at 10am sharp." Kurama read the message off.

"Alright then." Yusuke poked his head into the room. "Let's get ready!"

Morning in Starfish...

"...No, actually I have a contest to do." Lacus had been conversing over the phone with the handsome young man that she had met at Razzle's all night. "Yes. Certainly, I think that is a wonderful idea." She giggled.

"Goodness Lacus, you two have been talking all night?" Botan exclaimed.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Girls) He's just so nice. And I'm not only talking about the time he slipped me the hundred during my little show last night. *CLEARS THROAT*

"Oh no! Really? Oh that's too bad! No! Are you serious? HAHA!" Lacus continued on with her conversation.

Dorothy: Gundam Wing (Girls) Not that I was judging, after all it was her business, but she barely knew this young man and already they were at the "talk on the phone all night" stage. And there was something else about him...

Lacus hung up from her 'friend' letting loose a soft sigh as she did. She slowly lifted her head feeling millions of eyes on her. "Is there something the matter?" Lacus widened her eyes.

"Lacus, what do you really know about this guy, other than him being a good tipper?" Cagalli questioned.

"Well, I know that he is a very successful writer, only he won't tell me his pseudonym, he thinks that I won't believe him." Lacus released a short giggle, she stopped suddenly once she noticed the girls staring at her grimly. "Is there a problem?"

"Yeah, you barely know this guy and already you're pulling all nighters over the phone!" Cagalli raised firmly.

"It's not what you think Cagalli, we both have made it very clear that we are not looking for anything more than friendship." Lacus defended.

"Oh come on, don't give me that!" Cagalli huffed. "You totally had the fem voice working overtime! You're into him! Even the dumbest of guys could tell that much!"

Cagalli: Gundam Seed (Girls) Lacus is innocent, but sometimes she can be...well you know the type...TOO damn innocent, translation...naive.

"Nonsense!" Lacus denied.

"Common sense Lacus," Bra added roughly, "and another thing, he's way too old for you!"

"You don't know that! I don't ever recall him stating his age to any of you girls!" Lacus defended.

"He didn't have to!" Faye added. "He's basically a blonde R. Kelly on the prowl!"

Faye: Cowboy Bebop (Girls) They say that club lighting doesn't do you any justice, but from what I saw, he appeared to be around my age! And if he is, shame on him! My GOD hasn't ANYONE learned from the Michael Jackson case? ASIDE from the fact that he was acquitted on all charges! *BLANK STARE*

"You're wrong! And besides, I don't see how any of this is anyone's business but mine and Uesugi's!" Lacus fumed.

"Uesugi? Is that really his name?" Catherine said mostly to herself, although Lacus heard her anyway.

"Yes! Did you actually think that I would converse with someone for such a time without learning their name first? Just exactly what type of person do you think that I am?" With that Lacus stormed out of the living area towards her room to prepare for their next challenge. "Now if I'm not mistaken we have a challenge to prepare for! That should be our main concern right now! So just stay out of my personal life!" Lacus shouted from her room, her voice muffled from behind the door.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Girls) Man, what a spazz!

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Girls) How dare they interfere with my personal affairs! Do they really believe that I, Lacus Clyne, am incapable of handling myself? What a foolish way of thinking! Hmph! *SULKS*

Fifth Challenge: You Light My Fire!

"I can not believe that we are having the challenge out here in this scorching heat!" Sachiya sighed.

"But that's what makes today's challenge so exciting!" Jonny eagerly turned towards the contestants who stood in a closed off portion of a nearby park. Of course the boys remained in their commando influenced gear while the girls proudly showed off their team colors with different shades of pink. They eyed the area closely as if to get a better idea of what was in store for them. Two long tables that were covered with table cloths, each about twenty yards apart from the other. Johnny noticed their piercing stares and decided to proceed with the explanation.

Yusuke: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I was making mental notes of what sort of strength the challenge would require. Two tables covered in table cloths, about twenty yards apart. *MOCKING* Hmm, now what could this be?

"Good afternoon, and welcome to your next challenge." Jonny began, gaining all of the contestants attention. "As you can see, there are two tables on a closed off track area that have been set at least twenty five yards apart." He continued. "Today, both teams will be competing in a relay race of..." Jonny trailed as Sachiya unveiled the afar table which had what appeared to be jars upon them. Each marked off with a line, one blue and one red. "filling these jars to the lines that have been marked off the fastest."

Winry: Full Metal Alchemist (Girls) Sounds easy enough right?

"What's the catch?" Keiko questioned wisely.

"Ah, the catch of course is both what you will be filling the jars up with, and how you will do it." Jonny smirked, signaling for Sachiya to unveil the closest table which had two unusually large plates upon them, filled with what they were going to fill the jars with.

"What the..." Duo trailed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your fifth challenge, You Light My Fire!" Jonny announced. "In these plates are collections of some of the spiciest foods in the world. The spicy foods include: Aji Caballero, which is the hottest pepper known to man in Puerto Rico, jalapeño peppers, habañero peppers, Chile peppers, red saviña peppers, and of course wasabi! All marinating in Tobasco sauce and sprinkled with a hint of paprika."

"Oh my GOD!" Kagome squealed.

Kuwabara: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Damn it, they're trying to kill us! Wasabi is basically like, Hellfire that grows on trees!

"Sound cool enough...ahem, or hot enough?" Johnny mocked.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Well, this would certainly prove to be a challenge.

"There is more to it. You will be, and I'm sure you figured this out already, transporting this food with your mouth. However, as you can see there are two judges behind the food tables. Before you are allowed to make your way down the track towards the jars, you must first chew the food up completely and show it to the judges. If the judges feel that the food has been chewed to their satisfaction, only then will you be permitted to continue down the track and release it into the jars. Hurry back and tag the next person in line." Johnny explained. "Now, be sure to gather as much of the food into your mouth as possible, that way some of you won't be forced to go twice. The team to finish first will gain three hundred points for their team. Be sure that when you grab the food that you don't drop any, because then you're wasting it." Jonny reminded.

Ayame: Inuyasha (Girls) We had to CHEW it! That's torture!

"There will be no individual winner for this challenge and no eliminations. However, each team will be competing for an extra one thousand dollars to the final prize, along with this..." Jonny motioned for Sachiya to show off the team prize.

"Hey now!" Keiko smiled.

"A Gateway FX400M Media Center. Perfect for music, photos, movies, games and even school work. Complete with an Intel Pentium D Processor 820 with HT Technology. Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. 17" LCD Flat-Panel Digital Display. 1024MB DDR2 SDRAM. 250GB4 SATA, 7200 RPM. Complete with, wireless remote, TV tuner, IR receiver, BTX Cool and Quiet Case. nVidia 6600G graphics card with 128MB DDR and TV out. Audigy 2 zs Sound Card. GMAX 2100 2.1 Speakers with Subwoofer and a wireless keyboard!" Jonny listed off the system specifications smiling as many jaws dropped. (A/N: This is an actual computer folks! I SO want it! Too bad it costs $1,500.)

Kagome: Inuyasha (Girls) Oh my god! We just HAD to win! I've been waiting forever to be able to play The Sims 2! I mean that game takes up A LOT of memory!

"Sachiya, the scores please!" Jonny nodded towards the purple-haired girl.

"Right away Johnny!" Sachiya said through gritted teeth, obviously he had done something to tick her off earlier. "For the boys, we have a starting score of 2700, and for the girls, 2300." Sachiya announced.

"Okay girls," Faye turned towards her team, "mind over matter. We can do this. We can not, however, allow those boys to gain anymore points!" Faye stated with strong determination.

"Right, if they win this, they hit 3000, making it twice as hard to catch up." Keiko added.

Keiko: Yu Yu Hakusho (Girls) And that, by all means, would generally suck!

"Remember what we talked about this morning guys." Yusuke nodded towards his team.

"This will be nothing." Hiei stated with confidence.

"Well yeah, you're a Fire demon!" Kuwabara griped.

Kuwabara: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I can't take spicy foods! Man, this was gonna be hell!

"Aw, Hiei you look sad." Sachiya crooned as she made her way towards the small Fire Demon.

"I told you to stay away from me!" Hiei growled.

"But I wanna make you feel better." Sachiya whined.

Jonny noticed how the Fire Demon's bandaged arm was beginning to smoke, and took immediate action. "Sachiya. Please don't upset the Fire Demon." Jonny swallowed.

"Ugh!" Turning towards her 'boss,' Sachiya respected Hiei's wishes and proceeded to help out with the game.

Dearka: Gundam Seed (Guys) Man, what's under that guy's bandages anyway?

"All right teams, take your positions!" Jonny instructed to which both teams got into a line beside the table that held the food. For the girls, the line started with Pan, and for the boys, Hiei. "Ready, GO!" Jonny sounded his horn and both Pan and Hiei rushed towards the tables grabbing handfuls of the extra hot food and stuffing it into their mouths. It was actually hotter than they had expected.

Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I may be a Fire Demon, and I'll kill anyone who lets this get out but...that food was hot as hell.

The two continued to quickly chew over the food, both trying their hardest to make it appear as if it were nothing, even though that was far from being the case.

Pan: Dragonball Z/GT (Girls) How hot was it? Hmm, put it this way, I was more than certain that I had third degree burns on my tongue after chewing that BLEEP over.

"Hurry up Pan!" Bra called to her teammate. The small girl hurriedly opened her mouth, showing the chewed food to the judge, evenly as Hiei did so. Once the judges felt that the food was to their satisfaction both contestants took off down the track...literally. Appearing to be no more than blurs, they emptied the food into the jars and returned back to tag the next people in line...Ryoko and Athrun.

"Go Athrun, come on!" Kira called out from his place in line.

"Oh BLEEP!" Athrun said with a stuffed mouth.

Athrun: Gundam Seed (Guys) Cruel and unusual punishment is unconstitutional you know! That was RIDICULOUS!

"Oh my..." Ryoko muttered as she rushed to chew the unbearably spicy food.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Girls) Not only was it incredibly spicy. But it was SO spicy that it tasted horrible! Like, all you could taste was heat! ICK!

"Come on Ryoko!" Sango called out. She could see the two of them struggling as their faces scrunched and tears began to form in the corners of their eyes.

"Come on man!" Spike encouraged Athrun, who then opened his mouth to show to the judge who approved and he took off like a bat out of hell.

Athrun: Gundam Seed (Guys) It was awful! I was drooling and sweating from the heat, crying and...UGH, it was just disgusting!

Not long after Athrun was halfway towards the jars, did Ryoko sweep past him and hurry towards her team's jar dumping the food into its confines, and rushed back.

"Aw damn!" Inuyasha shouted as he witnessed Ryoko pass up Athrun twice tagging her next teammate in line Bra, leaving Goten there to wait for the once blue-haired boy to return and tag him.

"Wooh! Yeah Ryoko!" Miriallia cheered. From then on, the gap between the two teams got even bigger, especially once it came to Kuwabara. It took three girls before he was able to proceed being that he couldn't chew the food to the judge's satisfaction.

"Come on Kuwabara!" Yusuke shouted in frustration.

Kuwabara: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) That stupid ass judge! I was chewing the food and she kept telling me that it wasn't enough! She BLEEPed us up!

"Yeah Botan come on!" Android 18 called out as she reached out her hand to be tagged.

"H-h-here!" Botan panted rushing off to the side to grab her water bottle.

Botan: Yu Yu Hakusho (Girls) We were ahead by five people, so the scorching sensation that brutally impaired my speech was worth it!

Yusuke: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Kuwabara completely BLEEPed us! The judge kept making him stop and chew the food right. Idiot!

The girls were down to their last five as the boys were down to their last six. The competition was tight but of course it ended in the favor of those with only X chromosomes. Much to the guys' disappointment.

"You guys have fun?" Jonny questioned earning a bunch of grunts and groans from both teams, who were too much in oral pain to speak. "Sachiya, read off the scores please."

"Guys, you remain at 2700, girls you finally pepped it up and now rest at 2600. They're on your heels boys!" Sachiya teased. "Today's winner of an extra one thousand dollars to the final prize and a Gateway FX400M Media Center, ladies!" The girls tried to cheer however, their mouths prevented them from doing so. And even though the boys had a mindful of curses that they wanted to express, circumstances were at hand, and they remained silent and pissed other than loud and pissed.

"Well, I'm sure you guys would like to take a break after this, so until tomorrow!" Jonny said goodbye immediately grabbing for Sachiya who was on her way to pester a rather angry and irritated Fire Demon.

"Hey!" The purple-haired girl protested as she was pulled by her ear away from the challenge.

Sango: Inuyasha (Girls) The guys were rather upset. Part of me kinda felt sorry for them...HA, yeah right! This game was ours for sure now!

"Sowee boys, maybe next time." Hilde managed to force out as she and the girls left the challenge.

White Shore HQ A.K.A Hell on Earth...

"What the BLEEP Kuwabara!" Yusuke shouted, finally having gained the ability to speak once more.

"Me? What about Athrun! He messed up too!" Kuwabara shouted back.

"Yeah, but I was against a woman that could fly. You, however, went against a blind girl! Come on man! All you had to do was chew the food and jet!" Athrun yelled.

"Well, I have a very low tolerance for spicy foods and...wait...Cheza's blind?" Kuwabara digressed, causing his entire team to fall over in exasperation.

"Kuwabara, no worries, two losses, yet we are still in the lead." Kurama calmly raised.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Still, we can NOT afford an error such as the one that had occurred that day.

"No seriously, guys, I don't believe this," Kuwabara continued with widened eyes "Cheza's blind?"

"Yes, she's blind!" Kiba reiterated. "What, you wanna fight about it?"

"Dude..." Kuwabara trailed. "I lost to a blind chick?" Kuwabara shouted in shock and humiliation.

"This is meaningless." Sesshomaru intercepted. "Had I not passed up Catherine, we would have been even farther behind. You're all pathetic."

"Who the hell are you calling pathetic?" Inuyasha shouted at his older brother.

"You guys aren't really a close knit family are you?" Ed observed earning death glares from both demons, causing him to cower. "Ah, didn't think so."

"Hey guys, cut it out, fighting's not going to get us anywhere." Trunks intervened.

"He's right, if we fight amongst ourselves we'll only drift farther apart, thus ruining are chances at a final victory." Wufei added.

"Hmph! He started it!" Inuyasha pouted.

"Two minor set-backs, that's it. But the next challenge, definitely belongs to us!" Yusuke declared gruffly.

"OO-RAH!" The guys cheered, they continued to keep up their morale and camaraderie, and that would prove to be their strength.

Kicking back in Starfish...

"Yes, we won. I know, I'm very happy." Lacus continued to talk to her 'friend' over the phone. "Why thank you."

"Oh great, she's at it again." Ryoko sighed.

"Do you remember what that young man looked like?" Aeka side questioned as she and the others observed the pink-haired Coordinator as she curled up in the seat twirling her hair around her fingers.

"At the club?" Ryoko iterated.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Girls) Well I could understand why our little pink-haired princess was so hooked. He was wearing sunglasses, but you know how you can just TELL a guy is hot? Very tall too, and he was wearing his shirt open to show a very ripped chest. I dunno, but I think that in itself is enough to justify her extremely bad judgment, 'cause I personally still have a bad feeling about this.

"This isn't like her!" Cagalli grumbled. "This guy is making her...dingy! He's bad news!"

"I don't know, he seemed okay to me." Flay commented.

"Flay, every guy seems okay to you." Miriallia sighed. Catching sight of Flay's glare she restated her comment. "Oh, okay...excluding Yzak."

"Hmph."

"I think that we should just trust that she knows what she's doing, guys." Kagome stated.

Kagome: Inuyasha (Girls) I mean, who are we to judge? Besides, he didn't seem all that bad.

"Everyone, guess what!" Lacus trotted into the living area.

"What is it Lacus?" Meryl raised.

"Uesugi, he's coming to visit this weekend! Isn't that great?" Lacus squealed as she jumped up and down so excited that she didn't notice the looks of shock and uncertainty plastered upon her teammates' faces.

Kagome: Inuyasha (Girls) I take that back! Intervention time! We're locking her in her room! *NERVOUS STARE*

To be continued...

A/N: Well, took me long enough. Heat can do that to ya, it makes you slow, sometimes physically and sometimes mentally, and in my case...both :-P. Anyways I'm off to try and finish off GTA: San Andreas. Wish me luck on Supply Lines (which I'm STILL stuck on). I'll holla!
