A/N to eVeRyOnE! WHOA! Thanks to all for the lovely reviews! Keep it going folks! The more positive feedback I hear, the more giddy I get, the more giddy I get, the more Crazy ideas I get for writing!!! ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU.
Also, I am doing something special on the 75h review. It's called a kiriban review. Kiriban in Japanese means a surprise, so if you're my 75th reviewer, you are allowed to make me do a challenge one shot you've always wanted to see written, but no one has done it yet. Of course, it has to be in good taste, no x-rated stuff, and for now, I'm limiting it to Esca and Inu-Yasha. I'll e-mail you and let you know if you're the 75th reviewer! I think this will be fun!
Sorry it took so long to get this chappie out! I got my diploma!!! YAY!!! Happy Chappie!
I'm sorry no replies this time…I just didn't have the time…if you had a question, please ask again in the review or e-mail me and I'll answer it!
StUpId oL' DiScLaImEr goes here….How many times must I say I don't own ESCA??? O.O;;; No one wants to sue poo' jo…she has no money, no job, and she is fixin' to go to college…that should tell any lawyer right now, they'll lose more than they'll make off of suing her! LOL
And now what we've all been waiting for…
CrAzYqUiRkS: Chappie 6: First Date
Hitomi sat at the lunch table thoughtfully swishing her glass around . "Is this all a dream? No…I'm for sure it is real…I really am in Japan with a crazy bunch of teachers and I am teaching English to a bunch of Japanese kids."
Suddenly, Chid and his friends plopped down at the table. "What'samatter Miss Kanzaki?" asked Aki worriedly.
"Oh, nothing dear," Hitomi said kindly with small smile showing she appreciated the concern. "Somethings'amatter," Aki commented. Tenchi eyed Aki and Chid in amazement. "Well, let's just say that I have a date I don't want to go on tonight, but I promised I'd be there…" Hitomi drifted off as she spotted Van and Millerna walking into the cafeteria. "Oh really," Chid said raising an eyebrow. He abruptly got up and slung his backpack just as quickly on his shoulder. "Chid," Aki called spinning around in her seat. "Meet me at the usual tonight you two!" he called over his shoulder. "Now where's he going?" Tenchi mumbled to Aki, "he still has classes to go to…"
Hitomi cleared her throat and the two children now turned their innocent looking gazes toward her. Aki then stuck her elbow into Tenchi's ribcage. It hit his diaphram and he made an "ugh" sound. "I think she's wanting us to go-you see the way she looks and Van-sensei…" Tenchi nodded still trying to regain his breath and the two bid Miss Kanzaki a good day.
Van briskly walked over to the table where Hitomi was sitting. He plopped down right beside Dilly. (which was right across from her.) She nervously glanced up and then cast her direct gaze upon her home made lunch as if it were to do a neat trick. Van casually ran his right hand through that lovely, dark, thick hair of his and let out a small sigh.
"You know Hitomi," he started, "if you go around with that worried look on your face, something bad is gonna happen to you…"
Hitomi glanced up and her eyes met his. "Van," she whispered. "Is he worrying about me again, after I made him mad?" she thought with flushed cheeks. Her eyes grew a little misty and Van took Dilly's drink from him. "Here," he said reassuringly, "drink this; it'll make you feel better."
Hitomi took the styrofoam cup into her small, delicate hands and daintily took a sip of the substance. She chugged it down and then scrunched her nose and twisted her face at the after taste of the drink. "Ewww, Van! What is this?!?!?!"
Van smirked somewhat and took the cup back from her. "It's Japanese saki*-now do you feel any better?"
Hitomi blinked in confusion and amazement. "Ye-yes…I do suppose I feel a little better…" she said softly.
"Good. See me before you leave your place tonight, ok?" he said with that elegant smile of his. "S-s-ure…" Hitomi stuttered out as she watched Van leave just as gracefully as he came in.

It was nearing the end of the school day and Hitomi had unbuttoned that professional looking blouse of hers, taken her glasses and set them on her head, and messed her perfectly placed hair up. Today had been one hell of a day…but it wasn't over yet.
She approached the window and let out a huge sigh and then yawned. She pushed some of her honey chestnut hair behind her ear. She eased her tense shoulders and leaned slowly against the window sill. "Now if only I had someone to rub my shoulders…" she thought to herself.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of strong masculine hands on her shoulders. She assumed that it was Van and moaned just a little bit at the loosening of her muscles. When she turned around to thank him, she got a bit of a surprise.
A small gasp escaped her parched lips and she couldn't seem to find her voice.
Standing before her, was a tall, lean, dark looking man. His hair was tossed this way and that, a sad look was present in his eyes.
"Who are you?" she said with much fear, her voice not above a whisper.
"You are the English teacher here, aren't you?" he said in a deep, seductive tone.
Hitomi just stood there shivering in her shoes. She wanted to open her mouth and be polite, but her body wouldn't respond. In fact, in terms of the flight or fight responses, she was wanting to bolt out the door like she always did when she felt uncomfortable.
Sensing her tenseness, the man in the suit and tie stuck out a hand. "I'm Ken Olf; I attended this school when I was younger."
Hitomi felt her heart drop with relief only to be pushed over the edge again at the sounding of his name. Again, she couldn't get her mouth to respond.
"H-H-H-h-h-h-h-…." was all she could manage to sound out. Inside her head, she was screaming like a little teenybopper. "Stick your hand out there 'Tomi!!!" she thought. Her hand slowly wavered into his firm grasp.
"Nice to meet you Miss-" he stopped waiting for Hitomi to reply.
"Kanzaki," Hitomi managed to say, much to her amazement.
"Miss Kanzaki," he said again, letting the words roll off his tounge. "It's nice to have met you. I used to be an English teacher myself and I know how stressful it can be. I didn't mean to startle you-my sincerest apologies."
"I'm such a huge fan!" Hitomi blurted out. Realizing what she had just done, her cheeks flushed a bright apple red.
"Well," he said with a bit of a chuckle…
"Hitomi!" she thought as she began to beat herself up again mentally, "great going gal! Way to impress your all time favorite romance novelist!" She let her eyes fall down to the floor in disappointment of herself.
"I'm glad to hear that," he said showing a handsome smile.
"Something feels so familiar about that smile," Hitomi mused. She stared intensively at him, her entire being getting this feeling of de ja vou.
"Well, I was just going to stop by, say hello…" Ken drifted in mid-sentence as he peered over Hitomi's shoulder and saw a shadow walk past the building. "It was nice meeting you…"
WAIT!WillIeverseeyouagain?!?!?!?" Hitomi blurted that sentence out so quickly that it all sounded like one word.
A devious grin crept across Olf's face. "Surely…" he said.
"Surely," Hitomi replied clasping her hands together realizing Ken had just used one of his most infamous character's lines on her.
He left just as quietly as he had come in.

"So father," Chid said opening the door to his home, " wanna stay home and play video games with me tonight?"
Blondie just stood there blinking trying to collect his thoughts.
"Chid…
At house…
My house…
Supposed to be at Grandma's house…
I'm supposed to get laid tonight!
And HE wants to play video games!!!!
My SON WANTS to spend time with ME?!?!!?"
"Ummm…Dad?" Chid asked raising an eyebrow. Inwardly, he smirked at what he was doing to his father. "He's gonna blow a fuse at that one," he thought sniggering to himself.
"Panic! Panic! Panic!" Allen thought. "He called me Dad!!!! What do I do? Suddenly I am role model!!!!???!?!?! But I'm supposed to get laid tonight!!!!"
"Well," Chid said impatiently, "are you going to have a Father-Son bonding night with me, or what?"
"Son or getting laid…son or getting laid…son or getting laid…" Allen continued to ponder in that pea brain of his.
"No contest; I'm gonna do the right thing." He smiled. He was so proud of the very fatherly decision he was about to make.
"Chid," he said with as much integrity as it is possible for Allen Schezar to muster, "it's a school night; you need to stay home and study and do homework."
Chid's mouth dropped but he was getting the information he wanted.
"So what's more important than your son, huh?" he asked indignantly.
"Daddy's got a date tonight," Allen said nonchalantly.
"Oh," Chid muttered pretending to be hurt while reaching for his backpack. He turned his back to his gene provider and a devious grin spread across his face. He stuck his thumbs under the straps and spoke loudly.
"Well, I guess I'll go back to grandma's since I don't have a Dad who loves me, or can tell the truth, and thinks that women are more important than his own son…"
"Mmmmmhhhmmm…get Grandma to buy you a new video game," Allen said grabbing an Armani suit and tie, "and tell her that I'll pay her back tomorrow if that's what it takes to shut you up."
"Whatever you say," said Chid strolling out the door with a huge grin on his face. He reached in his pockets and grabbed for his cell phone. "Tenchi? Call Aki and tell her to meet at the usual about 6:30 p.m. Tell her to get the spy kits we made up. We're finally gonna put them to good use."
He clicked his cell phone off and grinned as big as the Cheshire cat from Alice in wonderland does. "Let's see how he likes feeling like an outcast…" Chid mumbled to himself as he walked to his Grandmother's house.

Hitomi glanced at her Hello Kitty clock and then back at her closet. "It's getting close to time to catch the train…and I still don't know exactly what to do…" she muttered to herself.
She approached her closet and opened the doors searching for something really hideous to wear…
She let out a huge giggle. "I wonder if I can still wear it," she said eyeing her mother's old pageant dress from the 80's. (And we all know what that means!)
She smirked deviously and pulled it off the hangar to go try it on.

Meanwhile, next door…
"Dilly, I swear!" Van pleaded. "If you just do me this huge favor, I'll buy you that explosive Bunsen burner and that electric fire chainsaw you wanted," he said pacing back and forth around an unhappy looking Dilly.
"You swear…" he said folding his arms and narrowing his eyes on the stressed boy.
"On the Fanel's legacy…" Van said solemnly.
"That's not saying a lot since you won't stand up to him…" Dilly said to himself under his breath. Luckily, Van didn't hear him.
"Ok," he said finally relenting. "Let's do it."

Hitomi came out in that ugly lake placid green dress. It's sides were frilly with lace and extra material with a deep v-neck that had pleats going down the front of the dress. The back of it v-ed in the same way with the same ugly pleats all gathering to make a bouffant poof at the end. It looked like the little mermaid on steroids. It was a nice idea for a dress, but gone wrong.
Horribly wrong…
She then got out her make up and elastic hair bands. "If anything can drive a man away, it's how a woman looks and smells," she thought to herself. She went through the normal routine for her make-up: base, powder, concealor, and then she got out the navy blue and green eyeshadow.
"I'm beginning to make myself sick," she said looking at the navy lined eyelids of hers. She noticed all the green in the dress and eyeshadow made her eyes look very dull.
She sprayed on a ton of Elizabeth Taylor, "White Diamonds." She let out a couple of hacks and sneezes as she drenched herself in the scent. A whole bottle to be exact…
She ran her fingers through her hair and wondered if the one-sided ponytail was going to work. She grabbed a pony tail holder and grabbed as much of her shoulder length bob as she could fit to one side. "There."
She glanced herself over in the mirror.
"I look absolutely horrible," she thought to herself with a smile.

Yukari knocked on Van's door. "Van!" she called. Van jumped up and threw the door open. "I have that stuff you asked for to give to Hitomi!" she said handing him a plastic sak with clothes, make-up and hair products.
"Oh, thank you sooo much…you don't know how much I- I mean, 'Tomi appreciates it," Van said, a hint of red flashing in his cheeks.
"Uh-huh," Yukari said eyeing him suspiciously. "Later Van," she said with a look that seemed to convey that she didn't believe him.
Van slammed the door shut and Dilly let out a groan. "Ok," Van said as he took out the clothes. There was a very short black skirt with a slit up the back and a sparkly pink halter top. He held it out and looked at it while he looked at Dilly. He grinned and said, "go put it on, bub."
Dilly trudged over to him, snatched the clothes and went to change. Van pulled out the make-up and begin to look for something that would look decent with a sparkly pink halter top.
Dilly came out prancing around in the skirt. "OOOoooOOoooOOoooOOOOOOOooOoh, look at me!" he squeeled. He started to sing and dance around the room (ballet style):
I feel pretty, Oh so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and gay,
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today.
I feel charming, Oh so charming,
It's alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
He pirouetted over to where Van was with his hands in waving in the air like a ballerina's. Van was holding his gut with uncontrollable laughter. He wiped a tear from his eye and Dilly sat on the bed. "Ok, go ahead and do it…I know you got to…plaster me up, Vannie!"
Van snickered and began to take the mini eyeshadow brush on and put the pink eyeshadow on Dilly…
And pink, pink blush…
And pink, pink lipstick…
And the finishing touch- a short haired blonde wig that Van had bought after school today. Dilly was really beginning to clean up…all he needed was boobs…which they made out of water balloons.
And then Dilly put the panty hose on with the black stilletto shoes. Dilly had to squish his foot in there, but he did it.
"You so owe me for this one, Fanel," he said with utter disgust.
"So what's your name gonna be?" Van said as he tried to control the laughter.
Dilly looked in the mirror and pitched his voice even higher than what it was. He then said in Marylin Monroe style, "how about….
"Celena!"
