Hey everyone! Listen, I need to explain why I haven't updated in... 6 months. So, I'll do this in chronological order. First, school started, suddenly burying me under work from classes, as well as the speech team and the school newspaper, which I decided to join. Then, I became a board member of my local temple, so I had to do planning for events and shit like that. Soon after I became adjusted, however, my computer was afflicted by a virus that was transferred to my computer via Kazaa, which somehow managed to stay on our computer even after we uninstalled it and deleted all of it's files that we could find. This made me unable to update for quite some time. Well, I was able to save my files, but as soon as I could get online again a camp friend asked me to help him and a couple of his friends run a website. I, of course, decided to help and thusly got rid of a lot of free time, in lieu of the fact that I get to write a webcomic, although I still need to find an artist. Now, I would still have time for my fan fiction, except I recently got Final Fantasy XI, plus a huge addiction to webcomics. This effectively destroyed any remaining time I would have for my fiction, and so, after combating my responsibilities and addictions for quite some time, I believe I am ready to write another piece of my fiction. Enjoy!

*!*!*!*!*!*!

Shippo's POV

Kanna is staring at me funny. I don't want to know why, but I think I'm going to find out anyway.

"Shippo, I was wondering-"

"You two! Get to class!" Saved by the Myouga.

Kanna stopped smiling, and gave an exasperated sigh.

"Oh well, I'll just ask you later." Her face returned back to that expressionless mask, and we both went back to class, one of us feeling much more freaked out than the other. Guess who.

Kanna's POV

It's officially second period now, and it's time for World History and Geography (AKA Social Studies) with some old crone called Totousai. When I saw him, I thought he was a raisin with eyes that made me think he had gone through some electroshock treatments.

"Welcome students, to the glorious field of Social Studies, where we get to learn how people managed to make the world into what it is today. Now, students, please welcome our new student, Hokadi Kanna. Would you like to come up here, please? Not that you have a choice in the matter."

Oh, he's good. "Hello. I moved here from Hokkaido and I would like it if you all stopped looking at my hair." Everyone but Shippo and this black-haired guy he was talking to looked away. Hey, that black haired guy doesn't look too bad, I guess. I'm back in my seat pretending to listen to the lecture Totousai was giving, but I was a bit more interested in my manga, and that black haired guy. Damn, as in DAAAAAMMMNN!

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Oh shit, was I staring? I guess so, or the black haired dude wouldn't be smirking at me and Shippo wouldn't be restraining hysterics. Okay, I really need to ask Shippo that question later.

"Nothing." Just you, hottie...

"His name is Inuyasha, and he's got a girlfriend already. A temperamental one, at that."
"Quiet, ko-kitesune." Fox cub? His nickname is fox cub? HAHAHAHA! Thank god I didn't do that out loud.

"For your information, I stopped sleeping with that stuffed animal years ago."

"Yeah, two."

"Quiet, baka."

Shippo's POV

Now, this was bad. She knows about my little stuffed fox. Tailsy, how could your ghost torment me so?

"Anyway... hey, is that Furi Kuri?" OMG, she has FURI KURI!!!! I want my guitar right now, just so I can hit Totousai, who seems to be turning into an ATM machine, by the sound of his voice.

"Um... yeah, it is. Volume two, actually."

"As much as I like hearing about anime," Totousai said, "I would really like it if you two could quiet down."

Damn, he caught us. "Yes, sensei," me and Kanna both said out of respect.

"So... anyway, I remember earlier you wanted to ask me something," I whispered.

"Yeah." She started smiling that creepy smile again.

Kanna's POV
Nothing would work better than this idea at public humiliation.

"I heard about this national martial arts competition. Want to join it with me?"

"Martial Arts?" Inuyasha interrupted. "I can get the whole gang to join in."

Well, this is certainly a twist. I'm going to have to mash "the whole gang's" collective face in to gain my status here.

*!*!*!*!*!*!

Ooooo! Plot twist! Martial arts! Love! Lots of bad humor! All coming soon, as soon as I figure out how to write more than about 5 minutes in a chapter. You know the deal, review, flame, whatever. Just don't neglect me! For now, Ja ne!
