Friendd is gaining control. Hahaha fuck off damnit screw you screw it it bitch!!!!

Now on to your regularly scheduled fan-fiction…

It was a fine Friday morning in the Higurashi residence and Kagome woke up to the same old begging of Sota "….Please Mother don't make me go I don't want to go to that hell hole called St. Thomas More, please mom don't make me go they keep on asking me about Japan and they don't have a big enough space for anything and boys don't wear cardigans!!!" but, at least she was in a good mood it was Mercy Day and the end of Freshmen Bashing Week. But as she was getting ready for a late start today in which they had to come in their formal uniform which included the long sleeve sweater with the Mercy crest with polo and a blue plaid skirt and they had to bring a change of clothes for the school rally.

Shortly after she put on her uniform and got her school stuff in order she ran off to Taku's house to eat breakfast and meet for the carpool that departed from the house in which resided Taku (a.k.a. Catherine since her parents did not like the name of Otakuofstuff or Taku, but strangely they were perfectly okay with calling her "Number One" since she was the oldest of the three girls in her family, and sometimes they called her "Julie Ann" or "Abigail" which was the names of her sisters). Well shortly after she departed from her house she went to Sango's/ Miroku's/ Inu-Yasha's/ Sessho-maru's/ Lady Kaede's house to get Sango to come to school but she hesitated ringing the door bell since every time that she rung that bell it she always over-heard some strange conversation like she did yesterday…

Flashback RPG-style-Yesterday morning while picking up Sango for carpool

Kagome:rings doorbell BUZZ!!!

Sango: answers door Hello Kagome, What's up?

Thumps and strange sounds from upstairs

from upstairs

Inu-Yasha: (frustrated) Damn it!!! Sessho-maru, I can't put my part in the hole it is too fucking small.

Sessho-maru: (annoyed) I'm pretty sure my hole is fine, Jaken has already tested it with his part.

Inu-Yasha: (still frustrated) and who says Jaken's and my parts are the same size, what did you measure it!!!

Miroku: (matter-of-factly) Actually I did and they are exactly the same size and shape so both would be able to fit in Sessho-maru's hole just fine. Maybe you should just put your back in to it.

Inu-Yasha: (pissed off) I'm using all my strength to do this, you know it is hard to do this, right.

Miroku: (in condescending manner) maybe I should do it then and just put my part in Sessho-maru's hole.

Inu-Yasha: (even more pissed off) Well maybe you should just shove it up there.

Sessho-maru: (even more annoyed) He can't because his stick is too big for my hole.

Inu-Yasha: (pissed-off) well maybe but that's okay since Kagome and Sango must still be downstairs so maybe they can help.

back downstairs

Kagome: stops eavesdropping on upstairs (curious and some what scared) Um, Sango, what the fuck are they doing up there and what do you think are they going ask us to do.

Sango: (confused) I don't know what the hell you mean but if you are wondering this is a project for Inu-Yasha and Miroku's Shop class they have to make a table but so far this is their twentieth attempt and it is due in four hours so I doubt they will finish it.

Kagome: (Relieved) Oh Okay so I guess we should just help them.

Sango: (reluctant) No we shouldn't, I mean the last attempt almost made Sessho-maru loose half of his tail.

Taku: (Annoyed) panting Guys we have to leave now if we are to get there on time, and anyways we have Wheaton the pervert first period so we have to get seats in the back in order to escape his perversions, and the whole class knows that so those seats are always taken first.

end RPG-style flashback

Kagome rung the doorbell only to have Kohaku answer it and Sango was putting on her chucks while Miroku was fighting Inu-Yasha for the last pop-tart which proved to rather entertaining since Inu-Yasha and Miroku were both determined to get it. Sango got up and said, "Hello Kagome are you excited about the dance tonight?" and she picked up backpack and walked up to her soon followed by Kohaku and Shippo in the same uniform as Sota and Rin was in the female version of the same school's uniform who were coming since Taku's dad drove them to school with Sota and Taku's little sisters who also went to the same school. Well after that they walked next door to Taku's house and rang the bell to be greeted by an extremely happy Taku who was obviously excited about the dance and Mercy day, "Konichiwa, Hola Que Tal, and Howdy Doody Do, marvelous morning is it not, just think about it no class today and all we have to do is just sit on our asses for an hour shortly followed by the school picture on the lawn, followed by a school rally and then a picnic and we get out at 1:30 today so that leaves us with plenty of time to get ready for the dance. Yay Dance tonight and I get to see..." she was cut off by her mom who said "See who and did you just say asses, Catherine?" Taku replied with "I will see…um… Mr. Wheaton who I don't see enough of that pleasant non-pervasive teacher and no I did not say …um… A-S-S-E-S I said "access," mommy you know very well I don't use foul language like that."

"Okay then Kagome, Sango, and you just wait in the car with your breakfast" said Taku's mom.

So the three of them ran into the car and slammed the door shut as Taku's mom kissed Taku's sisters good-bye. "Taku, who are you going to see and how come you are different with your family around?" said Kagome. Taku responded with "Well I'm seeing Nick Casey, my best friend/ pretend boyfriend and it is perfect opportunity to do that since it is a dance in which all the boy schools were invited so he was able to get a ticket on his own to meet me there. Also I act different in front of my parents because all the things I truly love are things my parents hate so I act like the punk I know I am when my parents are not around but when they are around I act like Mommy and Daddy's preppy yet some what blundering daughter that is everything a person may want in a kid." A short silence took over after what Taku said when it was broken by Sango saying "But doesn't being a punk mean you have to rise against authority and how do you know what you are and keep it with all this pretending?" Taku looked a bit saddened by this conversation and well who wouldn't it was a bit of a deep conversation on stuff one really doesn't question or want to know but she responded by saying "I know very well what punk is. But have you ever considered what I was doing was to survive and what I am doing is what you can call a silent uprising because well I am everything they hate while still being something they still love. So you can say I'm doing a bit of a blind experiment or maybe I'm in some kind of closet and I am in many ways. Also I know who I am I'm the kid you see talking at the moment I'm kind-hearted when I try and I am a bit of an ass at the same time, I love anime, books, cat ears and alternative and punk music, I hate preps, fakes, and pop and classical music. I am Otakuofstuff while I am still Catherine, I'm just a kid in a closet who wants to come out, but I can't. Well at least not yet because I have to be respectful towards my parents until I'm out of there because I need a place to run to when it comes to the unmasking of my charade because my parents are going to kill me." Kagome was left rather confused by this and the constant use of the closet metaphor made her uneasy so she started on the subject of the dance while Taku's mom entered the car and they went on there way to Merci B.

Meanwhile Sota, Kohaku, Rin, Shippo, Julie Ann, and Abigail were…

Sota, Kohaku, Rin, Shippo, Julie Ann, and Abigail were just dropped off at St. Thomas More School when at the moment Shippo got out of the car he ran for it since every time he came to school and classes were not in session a lot of the older girls chased him and he hated that since they always pinched his cheeks and played with his tail (hehehe grabbing his "tail" and pinching his "cheeks" ok there it goes my mind in the gutter again). Kohaku, Julie Ann, and Sota just went to go play with the sixth graders since that was their grade and Kohaku ran for it the moment he came into his yard since the flirty type of girls in that grade started chasing him and he rather not have them chasing him since those girls were rather rude and the only girl in his class that he would ever "like, like" in his class would be Gaby Virtug who also happened to be one of Julie Ann's best friends; but sadly Gaby's heart was set on a guy name Jonathan who was her teammate at Mission Recreation Center's Division One Basketball team. Sota went running from the otakus of the class because they wouldn't stop begging him for more info on Japan and asking him what was the latest info on their favorite animes; but it wasn't that bad since every time they tried one of them saw Julie Ann and turned from him to her and they all tried to pressure her into coming out as an anime otaku and how if she didn't it would put her big sister to shame. Rin, Shippo (who had to take the roof route to get there) and Abigail all went to the second grade yard in which they all did their own thing. Shippo and Rin played with the tetherball (Rin had an unfair advantage because of the height difference) while Abigail gossiped with her friends (which one of the many things that she does that makes Taku and Julie Ann think that she was switched at birth). Shortly after they were all called for line formation, said their prayers, marched their rounds and went to class. Since they had only one teacher for every class except for when you went into secondary levels a.k.a. junior high school you had the same teacher except for math and science they only had to stay in one classroom. Sixth graders had math first at St. Thomas More, and Kohaku was not happy since six grade math was pre-Algebra and it was a rather hard concept to grasp and every time it came to science he just wanted to go back to the feudal era because Algebra and Science don't exist there but hey at least he had Julie Ann and Sota to copy from. Mass was another thing that was annoying since it felt like a waste of time and it was rather cold in there. Also the whole time there every time Kohaku had to fight off girls who would always play with his hair but it wasn't that bad considering he could be an Alter-server (not at all fun if Fr. Francis is serving the mass). Recess happened a few hours after and the gang did as any kid would during recess except for Shippo who hides in the dumpster to get away from the girls. But everyone did their own things in school but do I really have to go in to detail no I don't because it is rather uneventful so let's move onto someone else's life.

Meanwhile Sessho-maru was…

Sessho-maru was getting ready for his first day on the job as a delivery man as Jaken said "Please master stay home with me I mean we are all alone and there is no one around so let's just enjoy the company of each other," Sessho-maru who was deeply disturbed by the frequent passes made to him by Jaken, just dressed up even faster and darted out the door and into the car. "Master come back" could be heard for miles around as Sessho-maru speed off in his car (mind you once again it was a fake license with a fake registration on a totally pimped up Honda Civic that came from a shipment of Hondas that conveniently got lost and the car was pimped out by Taku who strangely was good at cars and had a lot of spare parts from something she use to do as a kid) towards the UPS delivery center in which he was about to begin his first day as a delivery man. Well when he arrived the first thing that was said to him was "Would you rather be on a bike or with a truck?" Sessho-maru who was in the traditional delivery uniform and had not received the pants yet; so he was wearing those ever so sexy brown shorts and he figured that they would writhe up to uncomfortable heights if he rode the bike so he chose the truck.

His first deliveries went rather well considering that he managed to get them to sign and he did deliver the goods; until he got into this weird situation. It was a big business building in the middle of San Francisco, and when he found the right place rung the doorbell and he said "Special delivery, for Jenny," well it seemed to be an all female staff and when he came into the room they all went quiet and stared at him. "Well are you going to start your routine or what? I mean come on a strip already you're 30 minutes late and we've been waiting and we asked for a guy in a Sessho-maru cos-play not some delivery man…but at least you got the hair right....Ah SHIT you are really a delivery man aren't you!!!"

Meanwhile Inu-Yasha and Miroku was in their first period class of basic arithmetic…

Inu-Yasha was munching greedily on his pop-tart as Miroku glared at him, and Nick who was their tutor was just going on and on about addition and showing it out to them with plastic beads. But Miroku didn't really mind that because tonight he was going to the Merci B dance and it had to be good because they said "the wilder the girls and the less teachers in ratio to the students the better the dance," and he thought that if a school had girls so easy and slutty enough that it would be called "Hoe on the Hill" and "Moulin Blu" then it had to be fun. Then again Sango, Kagome, Katie, and Taku are not in any way easy or excessively slutty but also there was only one girl in that whole dance that he wanted to dance with and that girl is Sango; but hey if there was another girl there that was willing to throw herself at him then he would dance with her but he really wanted to dance with Sango and that was all he probably was going to get. Inu-Yasha who just finished his pop-tart stopped paying attention to his math and proceeded to annoy Nick by asking him why he looked unusually happy today.

"I look happy because of the dance, okay Inu-Yasha, I get to see my best friend/ possible girlfriend without my mom being there to ruin it." said Nick. "Any ways it is a Mercy B dance and there will be a lot of people there so it would be a perfect opportunity to get a good conversation with her."

Nick was about to go on but was rudely interrupted by Inu-Yasha. "So who is this girl? What the hell do ya mean by possible girlfriend?" Miroku followed by saying

"And what kind of conversation?" Of course they did that to see Nick do something stupid and he did and that was make an attempt to kill them and then when that didn't work he turned red and slink under the table.

"Her name is Catherine in real life, but I call her Otaku. In saying possible girlfriend I meant that she seems to be the only girl not revolted by my looks or the fact that I unable to fight for myself and she has to like me if she is my best friend and willing to pretend to be my girlfriend. Miroku, what other kind of conversation would I have with her, you pervert, I meant a conversation on how life is going, that's all you pervert."

"We both know a girl named Catherine that is called Otaku!" exclaimed Inu-Yasha and Miroku. "She goes to Mercy B and she talks about a Nick all the time. Don't tell me you know her." said Miroku.

"I might, did she go to St. Thomas More school? Is she in a way confusing and changes her clothes and her way of talking when she gets out of sight range of her parents?" said Nick. Inu-Yasha and Miroku said "yes"

So as they left that Math class Inu-Yasha felt that things are going to get interesting tonight for all of them.
