CrazyInsaneAnimeFangirl: ^^ we're glad that you want to be!! Now, all you need to do is find that bishie preserve and you're all set!! -_- we know we want to know where it is..

The next day, Sakura and Naoko reported to the preserve, ready for training. They were met at the front door by an overactive-looking young man with a nametag that said "HI! My name is Bill!"

"Wow...." Naoko said. "Are you a Bishie?"

Bill laughed. "I wish," he said. "Now, let's get you two started!" He led them through the same door as they went through yesterday and down the hallway. This time, they went to the end of the hallway, and through a violently green door labeled "Gym." "This is where you will be working out for today. Tomorrow you start your jobs."

Sakura eyed him wearily. "Shouldn't we have more training than that?" she asked him.

"Nope!" he answered brightly.

"No wonder so many captors go missing..." Naoko muttered to her friend.

They entered the room and saw dozens of different workout machines all over the room.

"I'll leave you two in here. I'll be back in about 2 hours with food." Bill said and left the room, locking the door as he went.

Naoko's mouth twitched. "Why'd he have to lock us in here??"

Sakura shrugged and turned to a treadmill. "We might as well start... let's see if we can make this fun. You know how the saying goes, 'time flies when you're having fun.'"

"Yeah..." Naoko replied.

The two set to work going around to different machines. The only problem was, neither of them could figure out a way to make it fun.

After the two hours had passed up, Bill came back, and true to his word, he brought food.

"Donuts?!?" isn't that kind of..... Bad for us?" Naoko asked incredulously.

Bill beamed at them. "Not in this job!" He extended the plate laden with donuts.

Sakura looked at Naoko. "Sounds good to me!" she exclaimed.

After they had their lunch, Bill set them to work training. "Now," he told them, "If I was a bishie, I wouldn't want to be caught!"

No really," Naoko muttered.

"So," Bill continued, "Most of the catching you are doing is actually chasing. Actually, about 99 percent of it is chasing. Some of the bishies are even intelligent enough to travel trans-continental and sometimes even across the world!"

"Cool!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Now, if you'd STOP interrupting me, we can get started with the real training," Bill said.

"What training is that?" Naoko asked.

"To catch me if you can," Bill returned and bolted out of the room, locking the door behind him.

The two girls stared at the door. "How......... how are we supposed to get out?!?" Sakura demanded.

"HELP!" Naoko screamed. "FIRE! WE'RE LOCKED IN THE GYM!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!"

Bill heard this and thought that it was true. So he ran back to the gym and unlocked the door. That's when Sakura threw her bishie captor butterfly net over his head.

"Got you," she said simply.

Bill blinked and stared at them. "That was a dirty trick!!"

"It worked didn't it?" Naoko said giving him a stupid look.

Bill pondered that thought for a while.

"I mean," Naoko continued, "Most Bishies would want to help damsels in distress, so that could very well be a plausible situation!"

"She's right you know," Sakura said quietly.

"Ok, ok, training passed. You'll both make very good bishie captors." Bill said removing the butterfly net from his head. "As long as the bishies aren't evil."

"We passed?!" Naoko exclaimed.

"Yes," Bill replied.

Sakura face brightened. So far, both her and Naoko were doing great at their new jobs.

"Well Bill," Naoko said. "I think it's time you give us our first assignment."

Bill gave her a weird look. "Alright...." he said slowly. "I suppose it is to find your bishie hunter."

"Righto," Sakura said. "Where do we find one?"

"Um.... you... hunt them. That is, if you want a bishie as your hunter. If you want to use a rabid fangirl, which isn't as effective, then you just need to go to the nearest anime convention." Bill answered.

"I think I want a bishie," Sakura said. She smiled serenely. "Imagine having one at our beck and call..."

"Sounds good to me," Naoko said. "Let's get cracking! Now, Bill, how exactly do we go about finding a bishie that would be a good hunter?"

Bill beamed. "Research," he said and held up a CD.

The girls stared at it blankly. "Is that some kind of record that holds information on all the bishies of the world?" Sakura asked.

"Better," Bill said. "It contains all anime episodes and manga volumes ever to exist."

"Whoooooooooooooooa," both girls said simultaneously. Naoko snatched it. "Do you know how much money it would cost to see all this if we weren't Bishie captors?" she said.

"um.... as much as all the episodes and stuff would cost if we bought it ourselves..." Sakura said.

Naoko gave her a look. "That was a rhetorical question."

"Heh... sorry," Sakura sweatdropped.

"Beh, anyway... so... all we do is watch this and see what bishie would be best?" Naoko asked Bill.

He nodded enthusiastically.

"Can we go home to watch it?" Sakura asked.

Naoko had a confused look on her face. "What is she getting at?" she thought.

"Absolutely, this disk will play on wide screen TVs too. That is the best way to watch them if you want to find a good bishie hunter," Bill replied.

"Perfect," Sakura mumbled.

"Ok! Then lets go home then and do our research," Naoko said.

"Just be careful with the disk. That is the only rule!!!" Bill called after the girls as they dashed out of the gym.

"Sakura, what were you getting at when you asked if we could watch it at home?" Naoko asked when they reached Sakura's house.

Sakura smiled mischievously(sp??). "I'm going to copy it, for both of us. That way, we don't have to download any more episodes, or use any of our money from this job to buy manga."

Naoko's eyes widened. "Sakura, you're brilliant!!" she exclaimed.

Sakura smiled. "Let's go then... we'll watch them first then copy them."

"Alrighty then," Naoko replied.

They entered Sakura's house and went to the TV. Sakura set it up the disk while Naoko made herself at home on her couch.

Sakura joined her friend. "Well, let's get started!" she said. She pulled out the remote control and popped up the menu. There was a HUGE list of animes and manga. "What should we watch first?" Sakura asked her friend.

"Let's go in alphabetical order..." Naoko returned.

3,967,541 hours later...

"GOD!! I'm tired of this!" Naoko groaned. "And we're only at Ayashi no Ceres!"

Sakura wearily popped back to the menu. "Let's say we just screw this and go get some ice cream."

Naoko was staring at the wall. "Of course..." she murmured. "Why didn't I think of it sooner?"

"Huh?" Sakura asked.

"Look!" Naoko pointed to the poster she was staring at.

Sakura turned to look. "It's a poster..." she said flatly. "Of a dog." She turned to beam at Naoko.

"Inu Yasha!" they chimed together.
