A/N:Well hello there lovely readers! And welcome back, to both this story and...oh yeah, school. Sigh. Well, after registering for classes and getting my living arrangements together, I was in desperate need of an outlet. Oh, what do you know, my stories. I almost forgot about them! Just kidding! Just so you know, updates will now be every Friday 8pm EST, and will keep in line with the theme of this story...extremely action-packed, romantic and dramatic in respect to every true essence that grounds the foundation of writing...

...Oh who the hell am I kidding? This fic is borderline insane!

In Response to the Last Chapter: Ah, my infamous filler chapter! Well, all I have to say is, the views of the individuals that were expressed in the last chapter do not necessarily reflect those of the author. Lol! For example: Hilde's comment about delight in punching Bush's lights out. I am not anti-Bush, nor am I pro-Bush. Personally, I'm not fond of politics period, it's all crooked in my opinion. And anyway, just because she made a comment like that doesn't necessarily mean she hates him. (Perhaps she just gets a kick out of punching people, no matter who they are! Lol! Okay too extravagant, but it really was just a comment at the Pop-up and not who the Pop-up was directed towards). There are certain things, the president does that people don't particularly approve of, however that doesn't mean that they hate him. I know I don't. Put it this way, your parent does something to really piss you off, at that moment you really want to sock it to 'em good, but you don't hate them, you still love 'em! Same concept. Once again, I am not anti-Bush, the entire chapter was all satirical humor.

The question about what is PWP. Well, when I wrote that chapter, I honestly had no idea what it meant either:-P. All I knew was that it always came up in summaries for lemonish stories. So, I did some research, and it turns out that PWP stands for honestly "plot, what plot?" derived from the abbreviation for "porn without plot," which is pretty much self-explanatory. Does this clear things up? Can I stop being serious and return to being stupid? We're cool? Great! Now let's have some fun!

Disclaimer: Why do I even bother with these things? They ain't mine! Now continue to count your blessings!

Note: I'm thinking of making Lacus' new guy a shocking surprise character in the fic! Maybe you already know who he is, and those of you who don't, will soon find out the true identity of this mystery man! ;-) BTW, I ain't doing the previously part anymore, because well...I don't feel like it, and I'm sure you all are getting tired of scrolling past it! If you forgot what happened last chapter, simply click back two pages, and stop being lazy...like me!

Warning: The author was suffering from a rather hellish contact high when she wrote this. Read at your own risk:-P

Battle of the Sexes: Anime Style

Chapter 9: Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

Outside White Shore 0500 Hours...

"I don't know what you've been told!"

"I don't know what you've been told!"

"Men don't lose to stupid hoes!"

"Men don't lose to stupid hoes!"

"Good for cooking, cleaning, sex!"

"Good for cooking, cleaning, sex!"

"But ain't got no self-respect!"

"But ain't got no self-respect!"

"Sound off!"

"1, 2!"

"Sound off!"

"3, 4!"

"1, 2, 3, 4, stomp them bitches in the floor!"

The boys jogged around their villa, led by Yusuke, in perfect formation chanting cadence after cadence, being sure to sound off with every vulgar and highly pointed syllable. This was of course much of a disturbance to their female neighbors who were not only highly offended by the chants themselves, but the fact that they were being shouted repeatedly at five o'clock in the morning.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Gals) Great, it looks like we've created a bunch of woman-hating bastards.

"Will you boys shut the BLEEP up, it's five o'clock in the BLEEPING morning!" Bra shouted out of her and Pan's bedroom window.

"We don't care if you are pissed!"

"We don't care if you are pissed!"

"You can all just suck our BLEEP!"

"You can all just suck our BLEEP!"

"Ugh!" Bra griped as she slammed the window shut and plopped back down onto her bed.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I must applaud Yusuke's improvisation. skills. No matter what the girls shot at us against our morning exercises, he always came back with something so eloquent and colorful. Such as when Flay got after us...

"This is ridiculous! Some people have to get their beauty sleep you know!" Flay growled from she and Miriallia's window.

"Sleeping beauty no such luck!"

"Sleeping beauty no such luck!"

"Stop whining you BLEEPING slut!"

"Stop whining you BLEEPING slut!"

"Why you...!" Flay balled up her fists reaching out of the window in preparations to charge her verbal offenders, but was quickly stopped by Miriallia.

"Flay, take it easy!" Miriallia calmed.

"No! I will NOT take it easy! Who do they think they are? Calling me a slut?" Flay shouted.

Flay: Gundam Seed (Gals) When have I ever done anything slutty? *BLANK STARE*

"Boys, really this is beyond childish! Stop this at once!" Lacus shouted from she and Cagalli's room.

"No way, you all had your chance!"

"No way, you all had your chance!"

"Hey, how much for a table dance?"

"How much for a table dance?"

"Oh my!" Lacus gasped.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Gals) How did they find out about that?

The boys' morning exercises went on for another full hour before they decided to take a break and 'hit the showers.' They had tried their hardest to maintain their commando personas and keep a straight face upon entering into their villa, but found that task to be quite impossible and broke out into uncontrollable laughter.

"HAHA! Urameshi, that was hilarious!" Kuwabara doubled over in laughter with the rest of his teammates. Even Sesshomaru and Hiei had to silently chuckle to themselves at what had just occurred.

"And the way that you came back with everything that they had to whine about!" Miroku forced out between laughs.

"Hey, what can I say...I'm a poet." Yusuke continued to laugh hysterically with his team.

"Did you see Lacus' face when you threw that bit about her little show down at Razzle's in there?" Dearka could barely breathe.

"Priceless!" Kiba huffed.

Kira: Gundam Seed (Guys) Speaking of which, I can't believe she actually did that! She had to have been drunk. *PAUSE* On that note...I can't believe Lacus was drinking! Damn, what is this crack author doing to us?

"Today's the day men! I feel it in my bones. We win today's challenge, no contest! Those chicks are going down!" Yusuke said with a glow of confidence to which the rest of the guys followed with a hearty 'Oo-Rah' further hyping themselves up for whatever the day had in store.

Morning in Starfish...

"Can you believe them?" Flay was still irked over the boys' insult earlier that morning.

"Forget about it Flay. They're just little boys." Faye began, a glow of confidence evident in her voice. "We, are women. We are powerful. We are strong. We WILL win this." Faye was dead serious, and her expression reflected that so.

Faye: Cowboy Bebop (Gals) Something didn't feel right. The way the boys had been acting since Laser Tag, it was all just so...wrong.

"That's the spirit, Faye." Keiko nodded. "As long as we stick together, there's no way that the boys are going to walk away with OUR money!" Keiko vowed earning a bunch of nods from her team.

"Right! It's obvious that they are threatened by us, otherwise they wouldn't be acting this way." Yukina commented.

"I knew it! They ARE scared of us!" Kagome smirked.

"Yes, we're definitely intimidating them!" Blue added. Just then, the house's Nokia cellphone sounded, urging Serena to reach over and read the text message that awaited.

"What's it say, Serena?" Leara questioned.

"Nothing much needed for this challenge, other than high endurance and possibly...eye drops?" Serena cocked an eye at the text message. "Be prepared to leave the villas at 11am sharp."

"Ugh, those cryptic text messages are really starting to bug me!" Pan groaned.

"No sense in complaining now. Let's get ready girls!" Botan chimed.

Sixth Challenge: Can't Take My Eyes Off of You!

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to your next challenge." Jonny began, relieved that Sachiya actually had nothing to complain about this time round. "Today's challenge can either be simple or difficult, it's all a matter of endurance and focus." He continued.

Bra: Dragonball Z/GT (Gals) Okay, endurance...Check! Focus...kinda Check! I have a tendency to become easily distracted by...ahem...certain things. *HIDES HER ORLANDO BLOOM PIC IN HER POCKET*

"Here at MTV, we're no stranger to honoring old school games and tradition when it comes to challenges. Sometimes that can be as old as the Medieval era, or the time of the Flower Children." Jonny continued.

Hilde: Gundam Wing (Gals) I was surprised to see that the guys had dropped the military gear for this challenge. Instead they were all dressed in black. *BLANK STARE* In 90 degree weather... *UNCOMFORTABLE PAUSE* Wait...

"Today, you will all simultaneously be competing against one another in a good old fashioned staring contest, being monitored by myself, Sachiya, and a few other judges, appropriately dubbing the name of this challenge Can't Take My Eyes Off of You!" Jonny explained.

Winry: Full Metal Alchemist (Gals) I'm awesome at these! Just as long as my opponent keeps their mouth shut.

"The perk of this challenge is that you are allowed to talk as much trash as you want in order to bring your opponent down through distraction." Jonny continued.

"BLEEP!" Winry griped, highly irritated by the knowing smirks being cast her way by Ed. Obviously, he knew that that was her weakness.

"Each minute that you last is worth twenty points toward your team's score. Traditional rules apply. If you blink, cry, or lose focus, you're out. And if you get out, you forfeit your points to the other team, so try to hang in there." Jonny informed. "To make this challenge even more interesting, the producers have purposely chosen the opponents according to personal acquaintances." He explained with a smile, laughing somewhat at the groans that emerged from the crowd.

Meryl: Trigun (Gals) So not only would we have to stare at those jerks, but it would be a jerk we knew personally. That just sucked!

"Sachiya, if you would please update us on the scores and the challenge prize." Jonny regarded his assistant hostess.

"Yep!" Sachiya proceeded front and center discreetly winking a suggestive eye towards her 'snuggle bunny' Hiei, throwing the Fire Demon off slightly.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Gals) Hmm, maybe that new assistant hostess isn't so useless after all. *GETTING A VERY BAD IDEA*

"Guys, you currently have a score of 2700, girls your score is now at 2600." Sachiya informed. "Eliminations are go again for this challenge and as such, the winner for today's challenge will receive the Chibi Wolf Hero, and this team prize." Sachiya unveiled the team prize to which everyone once again seemed satisfied with. "Paid tickets on a ten day Carnival cruise through the Caribbean Islands. Tickets come with the MTV VIP special in which you get celebrity-like treatment for the duration of your trip!" Sachiya put on her best hostess voice as she announced the team prize.

Kagome: Inuyasha (Gals) Oh my GOD! Now that's what I call a prize! We had to win, or...I would never forgive my teammates! *PAUSE* Oh yeah, I'd be mad at myself, too.

"Okay teams, the head to head list goes as follows: Yusuke vs. Keiko. Kuwabara vs. Yukina. Kurama vs. Botan. Hiei vs. Pan. Kiba vs. Cheza. Tsume vs. Leara. Hige vs. Blue. Duo vs. Hilde. Trowa vs. Catherine. Wufei vs. Sally. Heero vs. Dorothy. Kira vs. Lacus. Athrun vs. Cagalli. Dearka vs. Miriallia. Yzak vs. Flay. Inuyasha vs. Kagome. Miroku vs. Sango. Koga vs. Ayame and Serena. Spike vs. Faye and Julia. Vash vs. Meryl. Ed vs. Winry. Android 17 vs. Android 18. Goten vs. Bra. Trunks vs. Aeka. And Sesshomaru vs. Ryoko. Any questions?" Jonny finished.

"Yeah!" Spike ardently raised his hand as if he were in a classroom.

"Spike, what is it?" Jonny nodded.

"How the hell do you expect me and Koga to go up against two people?" Spike frowned.

"Yeah!" Koga shouted.

"Easy. If you defeat your first opponent, then you take on your next one adding on extra points. However, if you lose to your first opponent, you still have to take on your second, but can't gain any points." Jonny explained. "But, no pressure, it's just that there are more girls than guys."

"Yeah, 'cause SOMEBODY didn't have enough backbone to let a certain pretty little pacifist go." Duo arched an eyebrow towards the girls, generating a flow of growls from their bellies.

Duo: Gundam Wing (Guys) Hmph! Chicken BLEEP!

"Okay, places everyone, places!" Jonny ordered, as everyone took their designated seats across from their opponents.

Keiko: Yu Yu Hakusho (Gals) This was definitely going to prove to get on my nerves. Because that's what Yusuke does most of the time...get on my nerves. And this contest is making his behavior even worse.

"Alright is everyone ready?" Jonny regarded the contestants who had already began their death glares into their opponents' direction. "GO!" Jonny sounded his horn as the clock started and the challenge began.

Kagome vs. Inuyasha...

"Give it up Kagome, you're never gonna win this." Inuyasha ground out as his amber orbs burned into Kagome's deep chocolate ones.

"Afraid of the competition huh? I swear, demon or human, all men are such babies!" Kagome smirked as her gaze continued to drill into Inuyasha's. A minute and thirty two seconds had passed on the clock now.

"Afraid! HA! Of what, a bunch of weak little girls? Face it Kagome, that money is ours. And you know what the first thing I'm gonna do with it is?" Inuyasha began with a sly grin. "Hit the nearest Victoria's Secret store. I'll bet Kikyo, would look sinfully hot in a cherry red thong!" Inuyasha teased. He could see Kagome's cheeks fuming. He was hoping that his remark would cause her to cry, however that was not to be the case.

Inuyasha: Inuyasha (Guys) I have to admit...that was BLEEPING stupid of me.

"SIT!" Kagome screamed, causing Inuyasha's body to be forced out of his chair and violently onto the ground.

"Inuyasha, you're out!" Jonny announced.

"WHAT! That's not fair, she cheated!" Inuyasha griped.

"No, she talked trash. Not our fault that certain trash-talk lands you a mouth full of grass and soil!" Jonny chuckled as he jarred his thumb back and forth pointing behind him instructing Inuyasha away from the game.

"Aw, that's bull BLEEP!"

"Serves you right, you jerk!" Kagome huffed as she stood and retreated to the side to watch the remainder of the challenge.

Hiei vs. Pan...

Two minutes and forty one seconds were now on the clock as Pan and Hiei battled it out in a test of mental and optic strength.

"You know what I think is incredibly funny," Pan began with a wide grin as her eyes focused on Hiei's crimson gems, "that you don't have to sit down in order to look me straight in the eyes." Pan let out a taunting giggle, enjoying the fact that Hiei was obviously bothered by her comment as he narrowed his eyes into hers.

"Hn."

Pan: Dragonball Z/GT (Gals) HAHAHA! It's too easy with that guy! HAHAHA!

"That reminds me, what the hell were you thinking trying to put ME under a love spell the other day? Something you wanna share, Hiei?" Pan teased.

"Not particularly." Hiei answered flatly.

"He probably was wishing that you were me!" Sachiya intercepted causing Pan to arch an eyebrow.

"Errr?"

"I told you to stay out of this you stupid woman!" Hiei growled as his eyes continued to bury themselves into Pan's.

"Why are you staring at her like that?" Sachiya whined. "You're only supposed to look at me that way!"

"I'm busy!" Hiei growled.

"I'll bet!" Sachiya continued. Three minutes and twenty eight seconds were now on the clock.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Gals) I knew that girl would come in handy someday! *EVIL LAUGH*

"I'm warning you." Hiei commented lowly, as he balled up his right fist.

"Ooh, someone's getting snippy!" Pan continued, her teasing eyes shooting into Hiei's angry orbs.

"Go. Away." Hiei stated once more.

"But, Hiei I-" Suddenly Hiei's now black headband began to burn away uncovering his Jagan eye, his targets in full view of its hypnotic power.

"Sachiya, leave me alone." Hiei ordered.

"Okay." Sachiya stated dazedly as she turned on her heels leaving Hiei to finish out his challenge with Pan.

"Now, Pan..." Hiei began.

"Yes?" Pan slurred.

"Oh look, a bird." Hiei stated in flat amusement as he retained his death gaze.

"Where?" Pan looked above towards the sky, wrecking her winning chance.

"Pan, you're out!" Jonny called out.

"Okay." Pan lazily made her way towards the side collapsing onto the ground and staring off into the distance with a rather empty expression.

"Hn. Fools." Hiei smirked.

Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Works every time.

Kira vs. Lacus...

Four minutes and eight seconds were now on the clock as Kira had yet to shut-up about a certain subject.

"...Off of a Jessica Simpson song?" Kira swallowed.

"Yes." Lacus answered, her eyes burning into Kira's.

"You sure you weren't drunk?" Kira questioned.

"No, I was completely sober." Lacus informed.

"Damn, that's even worse! You're the Pink-haired Princess! Since when did you become Anna Nicole Smith's mini me?" Kira furrowed his eyebrows.

"Since the day that Faye threatened my Haro!" Lacus stated vehemently.

"You did a table dance for a mechanical ball?"

"You'd do the same for Birdy wouldn't you!"

"Of course not!"

Kira: Gundam Seed (Guys) *WTF*

"Don't judge me Kira! I did what I had to!" Lacus pouted, still never removing her stare from Kira's.

"I'd never expect you to drool over money, Lacus." Kira stated.

"Actually, it wasn't the money I was drooling over." Lacus side-commented, a hint of a dark secret lying in her stare.

"Then what were you drooling over, Lacus?" Kira scrutinized.

"Oh, no one." Lacus sighed.

"I said, WHAT, not WHO! So you table danced for some other guy, and I couldn't get so much as a peck on the cheek?" Kira whined, four minutes and fifty seven seconds now on the clock.

"Umm," Lacus had to widen her eyes at the sign of tears forming in Kira's eyes.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Gals) Was he serious?

"H-how...how could you!" Kira broke down into a babyish cry, causing his teammates to furrow their brows in the midst of their own staring contests.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Gals) He was serious.

"Kira, you're out!" Jonny called out.

"WAAHHH! Lacus table-danced for some club-hopping womanizer!" Kira wailed.

"Can it, and have a seat in the loser bin, dude!" Jonny ordered.

"I'll never forgive you Lacus! NEVER!" Kira cried.

Lacus: Gundam Seed (Gals) Part of me felt sorry for Kira. But then my thoughts immediately traveled to his morning 'exercises' and then Uesugi, and well...my pity was immediately vanquished. I'm not cold-hearted, just full of passionate vengeance. Plus, Uesugi...GQ Magazine material no question! *CELLPHONE RINGS* Oh, excuse me please. Hello? Why Uesugi yes, what a pleasure it is to speak with you again! *WINKS AT CAMERA*

Spike vs. Faye...

Five minutes and seven seconds had passed by now as Faye and Spike faced off in what was becoming more like a staring war than contest.

"I swear, you really are a gold digger." Spike huffed.

"Look who's talking." Faye retorted.

Spike: Cowboy Bebop (Guys) If there is one thing that could completely throw off Ms. Valentine was the mentioning of money. Considering the fact of her basically having none of it.

"Oh, that reminds me...about your debts, you may wanna take a look at this updated version of what you owe." Spike smirked as he held up a sheet of paper.

"Please, I'm not falling for that. Give it up Spike." Faye cocked an eye.

Faye: Cowboy Bebop (Gals) Just how stupid does he think I am?

"No, I REALLY think you oughta take a look at this." Spike's eyes widened within Faye's as five minutes and forty three seconds passed on the clock.

"Tell ya what. How about you take that so-called debt report, and shove it up your ass!" Faye growled.

"Alright if you say so." Spike nonchalantly let the piece of paper float to the ground, never removing his gaze from Faye's.

A bead of sweat crept upon her brow as she fought to retain her gaze. She knew he was lying. It was all a trick to get her to lose.

Faye: Cowboy Bebop (Gals) I wasn't about to give in. However, I did get a notice in the mail notifying me of my recent debts. That's when I remembered throwing it away. Out of curiosity I just asked...

"So Spike, where'd you get the 'debt report' from?" Faye arched an eyebrow.

"I found it lying beside the dumpster." Spike answered smugly.

Faye: Cowboy Bebop (Gals) *GULP*

"I-is, that right?" Faye panted. Six minutes and twenty seconds were now on the clock.

"Mmhmm." Spike nodded, his taunting eyes sending chills up and down Faye's spine.

She nibbled on her lower lip as she held her gaze strong within Spike's. Discreetly maneuvering her leg, she placed her foot over the fallen report, dragging it closer to herself. Bending over slightly, and making sure to keep her eyes glued upon Spike's, she retrieved the report and proceeded to fold it.

"Yeah, I'd hang on to that, especially considering the fact that your debts have doubled."

"WHAT!" Faye shouted, forgetting all about the game and immediately focusing in on the debt report. "2.6 MILLION WONGS! WHAT THE BLEEP!"

Spike: Cowboy Bebop (Guys) HAHA! Well she's screwed.

"Faye you're out!" Jonny called.

"I don't believe this! How the hell did this happen! I've never been to the Utopia Bunny Ranch!" Faye shouted. Glaring at Spike and catching sight of his knowing smirk she immediately saw red. "You."

"Look on the bright side, there's some less fortunate girl out there right now with a full ride to college thanks to me...or thanks to YOU rather." Spike smirked.

"DAMN YOU!" She growled, as she lunged at his throat causing him to fall back in his chair.

"Hey get off me you crazy bitch!" Spiked choked.

"I'll show you crazy!"

Kiba vs. Cheza...

Seven minutes were now on the clock, and the competition was heating up fast.

"Hey, technically you're not even looking in my eyes." Kiba stated as his illusory blue eyes bored into Cheza's.

"What do you mean?" Cheza questioned in her most mellow tone.

"Well, you're blind." Kiba replied simply.

"Yes, and This One does not need to blink. This one's eyes are different. You are going to lose." Cheza answered meekly.

"Yeah right! You said you were gonna take us to Paradise, and so far you've managed to get us into a contest where we get molested by sharks and humiliated by human females!" Kiba griped. "MTV's offering us fifty grand and a ten-day cruise through the islands! Now that's Paradise! You're a poser!"

Kiba: Wolf's Rain (Guys) Key to Paradise my ass!

"Kiba." Cheza began softly.

"What, Cheza!" Kiba growled.

"It is not becoming for the leader of the pack to behave as a pup would. Please stop whining and lose like a big wolf." Cheza answered softly.

Cheza: Wolf's Rain (Gals) This One will take the prize money and go to Paradise alone. That's when Paradise is at its best, when there is no one with you. Besides, there are not enough pooper-scoopers in the world to accommodate all four of them.

Seven minutes and twenty five seconds had passed, and neither one was going to give up so easily. "This will never end!" Kiba vowed darkly.

"Then you leave This One no choice." Cheza smiled as she soon opened her mouth and began to croon to Kiba, and Kiba alone. "Shiro, shiro..."

"Oh crap!" Kiba strained as he soon felt his energy draining and sleep trying its hardest to take him over.

Kiba: Wolf's Rain (Guys) Usually Cheza's singing is like, "rest your eyes, my sleeping wolves. Dream of peace in Paradise my sleeping wolves," yada yada yada. But this was more like "I SAID GO TO SLEEP DAMMIT!" And what's more unfair is that Tsume and Hige weren't affected. The song was just for me. What bull BLEEP!

"Hang in there dammit!" Yzak called from his eye duel with Flay.

"Too late." Kiba slurred as he tilted over and passed out into a nice and peaceful slumber.

"Ookay, I guess you win Cheza." Jonny chuckled.

"This One got tired of his hero trip." Cheza rolled her eyes as she headed over towards her team.

Kurama vs. Botan...

"Eight minutes on the clock guys!" Jonny shouted to the remaining competitors.

"This is the end of the line Botan. I can see the tears gathering at the corners of those big, beautiful, amethyst eyes of yours." Kurama stated with a smirking expression in his emerald gaze.

"Grrr. Quiet! I'm not going to cry!" Botan strained.

Botan: Yu Yu Hakusho (Gals) I have to admit that Kurama has a way with words. The way he speaks to you as if he knows everything, can make you feel so small sometimes. *PAUSE* Ugh! I HATE him!

"There is no point in fighting the inevitable. A tear will fall, and so will your team." Kurama spoke darkly.

"Shut-up!" Botan grumbled, quite annoyed by the mocking expressions that reflected within Kurama's stare.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) I'm usually not the type of person who would allow monetary issues to get in the way of a powerful friendship. However, after the way that these girls have behaved and treated us over the course of time, I'd have to say that they deserve all that is being dished to them. Besides, Botan is so cute when she's nervous. *SMIRKS*

Botan bit down on her lip as she felt the liquid filling up at the corners of her eyes. She fought to keep it trapped within trembling lids, but could fight no longer as a single drop slid down her cheek. "Oh, crap!"

"Botan, you're out! Eight minutes, fifty six seconds on the clock everyone else." Jonny shouted.

"Ooh!" Botan pouted.

"I'm sorry it had to end this way for you." Kurama stated in his usual humble and studious tone.

"Oh shove it, Kurama!" Botan griped as she stormed off to the side.

Kurama was slightly taken aback by her cold retort that he had to blink in order to allow her outburst to sink in. "Was it something I said?"

Wufei vs. Sally...

"I cannot believe that you are still hung up on that patriarchal bull BLEEP!" Sally stated with great vehemence.

"Hn! It's the only sensible form of government out there." Wufei spat.

"Preach Chang!" Duo shouted from a couple of seats down from the two.

"Shut-up, Duo!" Sally and Wufei yelled in unison.

Sally: Gundam Wing (Gals) I am so sick and tired of this boy's speeches on the weakness of women. "Women don't belong on the battlefield...weak this...useless that!" Oh get a clue already!

"You can't win this. I can see you struggling. Further proof that your sex is indeed weaker." Wufei commented smugly.

"You have all the answers, don't you?" Sally replied sardonically.

"You've finally come to your senses, then?" Wufei smirked.

Wufei: Gundam Wing (Guys) I could tell that she was struggling. Her eyes were starting to turn red. Hmph. A woman in self-inflicted purgatory. Is there nothing more pathetic?

"Grr, this isn't over yet...y-you...jerk!" Sally strained.

Sally: Gundam Wing (Gals) Okay, I admit it, my eyes were burning like Hitler in the afterlife, but hell if I let him know that!

She was literally holding on for dear life, but the eye irritation soon became too much, and at nine minutes and fifty two seconds on the clock, her treacherous reflexes kicked in as her lids fell closed moistening her parched eyes.

"Sally!" Jonny began.

"Yeah, yeah, I know! BLEEP!" Sally rose to her feet defeated as she retreated to the side with her other teammates.

"Better luck next time." Wufei mocked earning the finger from Sally. "Hey, now, none of that." Wufei smirked.

Wufei: Gundam Wing (Guys) Women, such vindictive creatures.

Kuwabara vs. Yukina...

"Ten minutes guys!" Jonny shouted.

"I must say, your endurance is impressive, Kuwabara." Yukina smiled softly as her ruby eyes bored into the former orange-haired boy's.

"Mmph!" Kuwabara trembled.

Kuwabara: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Damn, my eyes were on fire!

"However, I have to wonder; when we win, what will I do with the money? I really don't have a use for human world currency." Yukina mused as she continued to stare into Kuwabara's eyes.

"Mmph! Mmph!" Kuwabara forced out as he gripped his bouncing knees.

Yukina: Yu Yu Hakusho (Gals) It seemed as if Kuwabara was in some sort of pain.

"Kuwabara, are you okay?" Yukina questioned in a most innocent tone as ten minutes and forty seconds passed on the clock.

"I-" Kuwabara squeaked.

"Kuwabara?" Yukina's eyes widened within her opponents.

"I...I..." Kuwabara squinted his eyes, his face scrunching in a rather unattractive fashion. "I...c-CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Kuwabara covered his burning eyes, excluding himself from the challenge.

"You're out!" Jonny called.

"Kuwabara, you bitch!" Yusuke yelled from down the way in the middle of his face-off with Keiko.

"GRRR!" Kuwabara growled as he stormed off towards the sidelines.

Kuwabara: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Awww! What the hell is wrong with me! I'm always screwing up and it BLEEPING pisses me off!

Dearka vs. Miriallia...

Eleven minutes had passed as the tanned-skinned Coordinator went head to head with what he believed to be the feistiest Natural chick he ever met.

"Oh come on, just blink already so we can win this challenge. You know you want to." Dearka teased.

"Save it Dearka, nothing you say can distract me from winning so you might as well give it up now." Miriallia stated flatly.

"You sure about that?" Dearka smirked.

Dearka: Gundam Seed (Guys) She doesn't know me very well, does she?

"Beyond sure!" Miriallia shot back.

"Yeah, you're probably right. I mean why the hell would you get pissed that I plastered your face over a nude body and posted the pictures up on a Hentai site?" Dearka smirked.

Dearka: Gundam Seed (Guys) Gotcha!

"You!" Miriallia fumed.

"Hmph." Dearka's mocking lavender eyes penetrated into Miriallia's striking blue ones.

"So, you're the culprit!" Miriallia shouted.

"Wait...what?" Dearka cocked an eye.

Dearka: Gundam Seed (Guys) I was just joking, so what the hell was she talking about?

"Die you bastard!" Miriallia leaped for Dearka's throat, sending the two of them tumbling.

"Aw, BLEEP, not again!" Dearka groaned.

"Dearka and Miriallia, you're both out!" Jonny shouted.

"Ack!" Dearka coughed as Miriallia retained a death grip around his throat.

"Hit the loser bin guys!" Jonny called, seemingly unfazed by the fact that Miriallia was choking the life out of Dearka.

"Ack! H-help me, you dumbass!" Dearka choked.

"Shut-up you!" Miriallia growled as she repeatedly smashed Dearka's head into the ground.

Miriallia: Gundam Seed (Gals) He ruined my image! The jerk had it coming!

Duo vs. Hilde...

"Twelve minutes, thirty seven seconds guys!" Jonny announced.

"I tell ya Hil, between you being shamelessly underweight and your bloodshot eyes, you're starting to look more and more like a crackhead!" Duo chuckled as Hilde nibbled on her lower lip in sheer agony from the torment of the air hitting her retinas. While Duo seemed to be completely unfazed by the entire thing.

"I-I...BLEEP dammit!" Hilde groaned.

Hilde: Gundam Wing (Gals) Well, surely you know what happened after that. *SIGHS*

"OW!" Hilde screamed as she shut her eyes tightly as if someone had just squirted a great dosage of lemon juice into them.

"HA HA!" Duo pointed and laughed victory.

"Shut the BLEEP up, Duo!" Hilde growled as she rubbed her eyes in order to soothe the burn that rested there.

"Hilde, you're out!" Jonny shouted.

"Yeah, yeah!" Hilde sighed as she made her way to the "loser bin."

Duo: Gundam Wing (Guys) Oh yeah! That's what I'm talking about! *STARTS TO DANCE IN CHAIR* Get down "D" go 'head get down! Get down "D" go 'head get down!

Yusuke vs. Keiko...

"Twelve minutes and fifty eight seconds." Jonny announced.

"Win and we're over!" Keiko threatened.

"Fine by me. That way I don't have to feel bad about cheating on you with Ms. Fifty Grand." Yusuke teased.

"Ugh!" Keiko strained.

"Man, you're really struggling." Yusuke pointed in mock concern. "You're gonna cry I know it!" Yusuke laughed as he remained calm in order to endure the challenge himself.

"Grrr!" Keiko growled.

Keiko: Yu Yu Hakusho (Gals) I have to be honest, I hated today's challenge! Mostly because we were getting our arses kicked horribly!

"Sorry Keiko, you're out! The judges saw that tear!" Jonny notified.

"YES!" Yusuke cheered as he hopped out of his seat. "Oh that's game!"

"How do you know?" Keiko groaned.

"Because, I'm Yusuke Urameshi. I know." Yusuke winked as he strut his way back over towards his team.

"Hmph!" Keiko turned on her heels.

Many minutes later...

"Well Sachiya, what do we have here?" Jonny regarded his assistant hostess.

"Ladies you have a final score of 5920." Sachiya announced rubbing her inexplicably throbbing cranium. She wasn't surprised when the girls barely cracked a smile. "However, the winner for today's challenge including paid tickets on a ten day Carnival cruise through the Caribbean Islands and the MTV VIP special, with a final score of 7740...the boys!" Sachiya announced, pausing to give the guys time to chant their "OKAY's, YEAH's, and OO-RAH's." "Chibi Wolf Hero goes to Sesshomaru, for lasting the longest out of his entire team!" Sachiya congratulated the silver-haired demon who accepted the plushy with an ire frown on his face. "Dude, come on, be happy already! You guys won!"

"She's right Sessh! This calls for a party!" Ed exclaimed.

"Call me that again, and I'll rip you a new wind pipe." Sesshomaru glared towards Ed for the butchering of his name.

"Geez man, sorry." Ed backed up...slowly.

"Aren't you at least halfway pleased?" Goten asked.

"Hn." Sesshomaru huffed as he turned to brood down near the beach.

"Man that guy is weird." Dearka commented.

"Hmph! Don't even get me started!" Inuyasha grumbled as his now black tresses whipped in the afternoon wind.

Eliminations had gone as planned. Fairly, both teams cut their weakest players. For the girls, they unfortunately ended up having to let Leara go, however when Trowa was selected for eliminations, Sesshomaru, surprisingly spared the gundam pilot by handing down his challenge reward. The day had came and went, and for the boys, it couldn't have gotten any better than what it was.

Happy times in White Shore HQ 1800 hours...

"WOO! Fellas those females got their asses brutally KICKED today!" Yusuke grinned from ear to ear as he plopped down on the couch with his newly issued Game Informer magazine.

"Do you believe that Keiko meant what she said today, Yusuke?" Kurama questioned.

"What, about breaking up with me? NAH! She was just pissed 'cause her team was losing. She'll get over it." Yusuke waived as he turned a page in his magazine. "Zelda and Metroid Fall into 2006? What the BLEEP!" Yusuke read the article's title aloud to himself in shock and utter disgust. (A/N: This is actually true guys, check out this month's issue of GI, page 32. and prepare to be pissed! I know I am! GRR!)

"Hiei man, that dragon tattoo is sick!" Duo commented as he witnessed Hiei removing his bandages from his arm. The braided boy just assumed that the bandages were to protect the Fire Demon because of a fresh tattoo.

"Hn." Hiei huffed.

Duo: Gundam Wing (Guys) Whoever thought the little guy had it in him to get tatted up? *SMIRKS*

This drew the attention of Dearka, who was currently whipping Yzak in Tekken 5. He paused the game just as Yzak was beginning to gain the upper-hand. "Hey!" Yzak griped. (A/N: My bro does that crap all the time...so annoying!)

"That is sick." Dearka commented as he made his way over towards Hiei. "Hey you know what? I was thinking of getting a hawk on my back, who did yours?" Dearka queried the small Fire Demon.

"What?" Hiei narrowed his eyes. "No one did this for me, I did it myself." Hiei furrowed his eyebrows, not quite sure as to what the crazy humans surrounding him were talking about.

Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Fools. What little knowledge they have of marks of power upon one's flesh. *SHAKES HEAD*

Duo widened his eyes in shock at this. "No way! I am SO getting one of those! Hey can you do me?" Duo's eyes lit up then.

Hiei frowned in disgust. "You can NOT have this mark."

"Well whatever, I didn't want THAT one exactly, but could you do like a snake around my left arm?" Duo requested.

Hiei was about to open his mouth to protest, but then got a sudden thought. A dark smirk spread upon his lips then. "For a small fee." He raised.

"How much?" Duo folded his arms, a little bugged that Hiei would even consider charging for inking up a fellow teammate.

"$250." Hiei said without missing a beat.

"Oh, come on man!" Duo complained.

"250, and that's my final offer." Hiei responded blandly.

Sighing, Duo gave in. "Fine, let's do this!"

"Alright then." Hiei then reached under the coffee table pulling out what appeared to be a briefcase. Opening it, he revealed tattoo equipment and design catalogues suitable for a traveling professional tattoo artist.

"Hiei, when did you invest in the art of tattooing?" Kurama questioned with raised eyebrows.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Has he completely lost his mind? *BLANK STARE*

"Last month." Hiei answered as he began to set up his equipment. He noticed Kurama staring at him strangely from the corner of his eye. "A Fire Demon has to eat too, Kurama." Hiei responded flatly.

"Since when?" Kurama arched an eyebrow.

"Since the day he discovered 'sweet snow.'" Yusuke chuckled.

"Exactly. Now get over here, boy." Hiei regarded Duo.

"D'oh!" Kurama slapped his forehead.

"Hey, I'm next!" Dearka shouted, raising his hand as if he were in class.

"I'm after Dearka!" Athrun announced. Just then the entire team formed a line behind Duo, as Hiei prepped the braided gundam pilot in order to get his desired snake around his left arm. Hiei noticed how Kurama lagged behind and gave him a look before rubbing the alcohol on Duo's arm and plugging in his needle.

Sighing Kurama figured that it was indeed a time for celebration, and not for being spiffy and uptight. "Oh, what the hell!" Kurama stated as he got in line.

Kurama: Yu Yu Hakusho (Guys) Secretly, I've always wanted a rose on my back. AHEM, a very MANLY rose, mind you. *COUGH COUGH SNIFF SNIFF*

"Steady yourself, Maxwell." Hiei warned as he finished applying the stencil and prepared to ink in the outline with his needle.

"What?" Duo questioned hoarsely, not really feeling comfortable with the devious smirk that rested upon Hiei's face.

Duo: Gundam Wing (Guys) I knew he was a little too eager to ink me up...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Duo screamed, his voice echoing off of every corner of the villa as Hiei's needle repeatedly pulsed against his skin.

Duo: Gundam Wing (Guys) That BLEEPING sadist!

Evening in Starfish...

"...That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about you using my hairspray without my permission!" Bra growled as she and Flay began making meaningless arguments. Truly they were all just upset about losing. All except for Lacus, who continued to converse with Uesugi over the phone.

"...Yeah, those are my roommates. We lost today and so everyone is acting rather salty toward one another. No, I am upset yes, but I have no need or desire to start confrontation with anyone. Oh, that's so sweet of you. Really?" Lacus released a girlish giggle as Bra and Flay continued to go at it in the background.

"...And what the HELL is THIS!" Flay held up her champagne colored Gucci heels that had a dark stain on the tip. "Have you been wearing my shoes, too!"

"Please, champagne is SO not my color." Bra rolled her eyes.

"Actually, Flay..." Miriallia interrupted.

"What is it, Mir?" Flay sighed.

"That's coffee, from this morning...you had your shoes in the middle of the bedroom floor and ended up tripping over them, remember?" Miriallia reminded.

Looking up towards the ceiling as her memory was refreshed she fired up again. "Well, what the hell were they doing in the middle of the floor, anyway? I always put my shoes back! Which means that someone was wearing them!" Flay exclaimed.

"Yeah, you. When you snuck out to meet with Mik-" Flay immediately slapped her hand over Miriallia's mouth in order to silence her.

Miriallia: Gundam Seed (Gals) If she weren't my friend, I would've decked her for that, because...THAT hurt! *FROWNS*

"What was that?" Bra narrowed her eyes. The anger building up if what she suspected Miriallia was going to say was true.

Bra: Dragonaball Z/GT (Gals) Oh I KNOW, for a fact that Flay is not THAT stupid to sneak around with the guy I met at Razzle's that night. That's right lovely viewers, Lacus isn't the ONLY one of us who met a hot guy at the club. And if I find out Flay's trying to pull a snatch on Mike, I'ma gonna kick me some hoochie ass!

"Just forget it!" Flay stated with a hint of treacherous venom in her voice.

"Oh no! We're talking about this, now! Are you seeing Mike behind my back!" Bra shouted.

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo/Universe (Gals) Oh boy! Here we go! It's always something with these chicks! I knew from the beginning that those two were gonna fall out about something this retarded! How did I know you ask? Because they're a couple of brainless morons who only care about glitter, gold, and lest we forget...themselves. I think Kanye West even made a song about chicks like them! Hmm. *MOCK PONDERING*

"Hey, princess! Who the hell is Mike?" Ryoko whispered to Aeka who just shrugged.

"That guy that Bra was talking to at the bar." Winry reminded.

"Didn't she shoot him down?" Serena commented.

"She's a very complex girl." Pan sighed as she changed the ice pack on her head. She had the worst headache, and it righteously pissed her off that the rest of her team wouldn't explain why.

"Hello! Bigger problems! Have you SEEN this debt report! Huh?" Faye waved the piece of paper in front of her teammates' faces, Hilde being the first to grab for it and look it over.

"Damn girl." Hilde shook her head and sighed.

Hilde: Gundam Wing (Gals) Faye's debts were pretty BLEEPED up. I think if I woke up with debts that high, I'd run towards the nearest living thing and kill it.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you sneaking around with Mike!" Bra demanded with balled fists.

"So what if I am!" Flay placed her hand on her hip in a most stubborn manner, causing Bra to steam at the ears and growl in a most monstrous tone.

"Er, Flay," Miriallia began, "please don't make super girl upset." Miriallia back-paddled.

"Ooh, super bitch is angry. Scary." Flay mocked as she rolled her eyes.

"Alright bitch, we're scrappin!'" Bra was just about the lunge until the doorbell rang, throwing both girls off.

"Will you two settle down!" Lacus said in a hushed tone as she all but skipped to the door, leaving behind a room full of confused and distraught females.

"Lacus, what's going on?" Cagalli furrowed her brows as she heard Lacus squeal with excitement.

"He's here, he's here!" Lacus bounced up and down clapping her hands together after peering through the peep hole.

"He? Oh no, you don't mean..." Android 18's eyes widened in horror as she observed herself dressed in nothing but her headscarf and extra large t-shirt. She darted up the steps towards her room in order to put on something more appropriate.

Android 18: Dragonball Z/GT (Gals) I swear, she could've warned us!

Many of the girls who were half-dressed scattered in order to make themselves presentable, while a few others lingered in the living area, quite eager to meet Lacus' mystery man.

Catherine: Gundam Wing (Gals) I really wanted to see this guy, I mean from the way Lacus reacts at the ring of the phone! Put it this way, as of late, Pavlov's dogs haven't salivated as much as our pink haired princess.

Taking a deep breath, Lacus straightened out her pastel, calf-length, sundress and turned the knob in order the let him in. Her eyes brightened once she laid eyes upon his handsome form. She was so excited to see him that she didn't notice her fellow roommates frozen in shock at the sight of him. Their jaws were nearly making contact with the carpet. Faye let her debt report slip from her fingers and onto the floor. Kagome's gum fell out of her mouth. Keiko held a Dorito lazily between her lips, before it fell to the counter top.

Dorothy: Gundam Wing (Gals) Oh my...I can NOT believe that Lacus managed to snag HIM!

Cagalli: Gundam Seed (Gals) *STATE OF SHOCK*

Catherine was the only one of them who found the strength to speak. "Oh my GOD, it's..."

To be continued...

A/N: Oh boy, who could it be? Hmm? Have you figured out Lacus' mystery guy yet? If you have, don't tell anyone else, like when you review, don't say his name, but if you DO know then good for you; you know your anime guys. And if you don't, that's cool, then you'll be surprised next chapter! And I'm also gonna let you guys get a glimpse of Bra (and Flay's lol) new guy too a bit later. You know, just for kicks! Next Friday at 8pm EST, Battle of the Sexes: Anime Style Chapter 10: Lacus' BIG Mistake!. Until then I'll holla!
