SD27: Hello minna-san! Samuraiduck27 here! Well, PK13 had this great idea that randomly came to her while the two of us were playing volleyball in gym.

PK13: Turns out the less I pay attention, the more times I hit the ball.

SD27: Not that- the idea of our fanfic!

PK13: Oh…right.

SD27: Anywho- she was thinking- what if all the teachers in school just had randomly horrible things happen to them and anime characters took their places? I thought that'd be kinda neat, so together we thought up a way to put it into a fic. Turns out I'd be the one writing it…

PK13: Is that why I only get co-author credit?

SD27: (nods) Was your idea after all. Okay- time to start this fic!

PK13: Special thanks to our good buddy Katie (aka Go Drink PineSol) for beta reading this fic as it was written, and giving us the title for this.Even tho SD27 didn't let her read this chappie before she posted it…

SD27: hehe…oops.

DISCLAIMER: If it's familiar- we don't own it and probably never will. SD and PK, however, are our characters and belong to us. If you steal them, well…let's try not to think about that. The teachers in this story are real people and they belong to themselves. We also own any OC's that appear in this story- although they really aren't important.


Chapter 1- School Sucks…

SD sighed as she got off the bus.

Another year of hell…she thought darkly.

SD waited for her long-time friend, PK, to get off the bus as well.

SD, whose real name was Rae Zephyr, was in her freshman year of high school, as was PK. She preferred to be called SD for some reason or another, probably short for her screen name and all-access name online- samuraiduck27. Only her close friends called her SD though, everyone else called her Rae, and she didn't enjoy it.

SD had shoulder-blade length dirty blond hair, that had long, blood red streaks- one on each side of her face. She was rather short- compared to her friends, and many others in her class- only reaching a height of about 5'2". One thing most people learned quickly about her was that she did not take short jokes lightly. SD's eyes were a gray-blue, or slate, color and usually had a mischievous spark in them. She was highly intelligent. If only she'd put those brains of hers to better use than planning pranks and causing mayhem- although her grades were quite impressive.

"Hey PK!" she called to a girl just stepping off the bus.

"SD! There you are! Why didn't you wait for me?" she replied, walking over and frowning at SD.

PK, whose name was actually Kat Dilefea, was SD's age, and preferred to be called PK for the same reasons as SD. She had waist length, wavy brown hair. Like SD, hers was dyed also- only PK had gotten hot pink highlights all around her head and bangs, along with silver dye tipping the pink on her bangs. She was tallish- about 5'5"- and had a rather cheery disposition. She was an optimist, and was almost always smiling and was brutally honest. Together with SD, the two were master pranksters- although it was usually PK's job to get them out of jams that SD had caused with her not-to-well thought out plans.

"I didn't wait 'cause I didn't wait." SD said simply.

"That made absolutely no sense, y'know." PK replied, sweat-dropping.

"Yep!" she grinned, "Now lemme see your schedule!"

PK handed over a piece of paper, which SD quickly scanned.

"We have all our classes and lunch together- except for 5th period. You got Band and I got Choir." she said after a minute.

"Cool- where do we go first?" PK asked.

SD groaned and frowned, "Lucky us- we have gym first hour; with… Mr. Emerick."


During Gym…

"I want 3 laps around the track! Start moving- now!" Mr. Emerick cried out to the rather worn out class.

PK moaned, "Not again! First he makes us run 3 laps, then we stretch, then another 3! Is he insane!"

SD nodded as the two ran, "Yeah, I guess. It's not even half-way through the first class and I already hate this guy! And what is with the 'I am your gym-daddy' line? That's just creepy!"

(A/N- Mr. Emerick is really our creepy sexist gym teacher- and the thing with the 'gym-daddy' line?

PsychoKitty13: Totally true. All the girls in our class hate him. Especially since he made only the girls do this really hard aerobics tape and the guys got to play basketball and sit around. Jerk…)

"Hey dye-jobs! You two- pick up the pace!" Emerick barked at SD and PK.

"Can't get worse than this- other classes should be better…" PK muttered to herself, ever the optimist.

Just keep telling yourself that, PK… SD thought as they continued on their last lap.

Both SD and PK agreed that gym was, by far, the worst class of all. The duo both enjoyed Spanish and History, along with Art and their music classes- sort of.

"Choir's alright- teacher's totally crazy though." SD told PK at lunch.

"Same with Band. Art's neat." PK agreed.

SD nodded, "It's really the teachers that make this place horrible, y'know? Except for Spanish- Señora Schneider's really nice."

PK took a bite out of her sandwich, and nodded too. "Yeah- too bad we couldn't take Japanese."

"Maybe the teachers will ease up on us over time, PK. I bet in a month or so, things'll be better."

"Yeah…maybe."


2 Months Later…

"Argh! God-damned English crap!" SD moaned, slamming her locker.

"You didn't finish your essay?" PK inquired.

SD gave her a slight glare. "No- I had all that Geometry homework, that Spanish sheet and workbook pages, plus that reading for History!"

The two were in the locker room, looking forward to another wonderful day of gym with their favorite gym teacher.

"Wouldn't it be great if all the teachers would just…disappear?" PK suggested.

SD smirked, "I'd like it better if Emerick were to have some horrible accident that I had no part in whatsoever. But, yeah- that'd be great."

"Better yet- what if anime characters replaced them?" PK continued.

SD and PK, if you haven't guessed already, were rabid anime and manga fans.

"Kurama, Sesshomaru, Kenshin…" SD began.

"Ryou, Bakura, Kaiba…" continued PK.

SD and PK kept adding to the list during class and throughout the day- it kept them entertained. Too bad that something like that could never come true… or could it?


Two days later found the two girls in the locker room, yet again. They were changing into their gym uniforms when one of the girls- Jessica- came in.

"Rae! Kat! Did you hear? Emerick had a mental breakdown! He's not gonna be here for a few weeks!" she squealed.

SD and PK twitched at the sound of her high-pitched voice. But hearing about Emerick's condition really turned it around. SD went down on her knees-

"Our prayers have been answered!" she cried.

"Yeah, yeah… plus no uniforms today guys- that's what everyone else is saying at least." added another girl, rolling her eyes at SD's outburst.

"Anyone know who the sub is?" PK asked.

"Dunno his name- but he's young, and Asian. Pretty cute, too." replied Jessica.

SD and PK finished changing back into their regular clothes- PK was outfitted in a pair of deep navy flares with chains on one side, a black studded belt, a camo shirt that reached her stomach, high-heeled combat boots, and a long, leather trench coat that she had altered to make it short-sleeved. In terms of jewelry, she wore a large ankh necklace with matching earrings, small silver hoops in the other two ear piercing she had, along with silver arm bands.

"Done yet, SD?" she asked, turning to her friend.

"Almost…stupid earrings…" she replied.

SD was wearing a pair of black cargo pants that were faded- seeing as how they were her favorites-, a blood-red v-neck top that divided into triangle shaped sections at the bottom and reached about belly-button level, a pair of black and white high-tops, and a black cloth trench coat. She also wore a black choker with a red stone inlaid in it, a simple silver chain necklace, a long silver chained one with a pinkish-red crystal as the pendant, plus simple silver hoops and silver studs in her double pierced ears, along with a silver ring.

They headed out to join their class and meet the substitute filling in for their teacher. When the two saw his face- SD almost fainted and PK's eyes went really wide and shocked.

A young, teenage looking guy with short, black, gelled-back hair greeted them. He wore a white t-shirt and pair of faded blue jeans and sneakers. He turned and gave them a smirk.

"Oi! You two- names?" He called, holding the attendance roster.

"R-Rae Zephyr." SD managed to get out.

"Kat Dilefea." said PK.

No frickin' way… both thought at the same time.

The sub checked them both off and motioned for them to join the rest of the class. They did so- trying hard not to stare at him.

"Nice hair…" he said as they walked past, "Alright punks. Name's Yusuke Urameshi- I'll be your sub for today."


SD27: Whew…5 pages. Long chappie…

PK13: What'dya mean long? That one chapter you have is what- 10!

SD27: shhh… don't tell them that! They'll expect the rest to be like that too!

PK13: Anywho- please review, but no flames!

SD27: If you flame us… they'll only go towards charging up the flamethrower I will eventually buy and use to burn down the gym and my geometry classroom.

PK13: Why not do the whole school?

SD27: …hmm…you got a point there…

PK13: While SD goes to think some more- please click the shiny blue button and leave a review!

Ja ne, minna-san!
