Love and Hate come hand-in-hand

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except for Randi, Brandi, Eric, and Jake. I would LOVE to own some of them, though. This story is my own, if it sounds like someone else's, sorry. I'm keeping this story the way it is.

After Inuyasha and Sesshomaru went into the locker room, Randi turned back to her three teammates. She didn't notice the tall, brown-haired guy behind her, until it was too late. Suddenly, everyone heard a loud slap and a scream, "Hentai!" They all turned to see Sano with a huge hand mark on his left cheek, (face).

"Randi! That was mean." Randi could hear Brandi yelling at her, but she really didn't care. She continued to glare at Sano, who was, at the moment, trying to hide behind a red head with a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek.

"Then tell that pervert to keep his hands to himself and off my butt!" Randi finally yelled back at Brandi, who was now looking at Sano with surprise. "And you," Randi said turning to Sano (who was currently very pale and shaking) "the next time any of you hentai's touch me, I'm not going to slap you. I'M GOING TO RIP OFF YOUR ARMS AND BEAT YOU INTO A BLODDY PULP WITH THEM!" Randi turned her back to everyone, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then she turned around, smiling at everyone. "Ok, I feel better. Now Brandi, let's go practice." All the guys anime-fainted while the two walked by.

"Randi, Brandi. You are in so much TROUBLE!" Brandi and Randi looked at each other and gulped. Only one person would yell at them like that; their principal, Ron Wassom.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Hinata were still chuckling when they heard Randi and Brandi get yelled at.

"Naruto, are those the American girls you met?" Sasuke asked. (Naruto and Sasuke are friends in this story).

"Oh man, their hair is so cool!" Naruto and Sasuke just rolled their eyes at Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke continued talking while they tried to listen to the conversation, the only problem? Very few of them were fluent enough in English to understand what they were saying. (Brandi and Randi have taken 3 years of Japanese; also, Randi's step-dad is of Japanese descent.)

Brandi and Randi

"The tournament hasn't even started yet, and already you're both getting in trouble," Mr. Wassom sighed. "Are you two trying to exhaust me?"

(Ok, to explain. Mr. Wassom has a camera attached to his computer and the girls have a laptop with a camera, so they can see each other.)

"Mr. Wassom, we didn't do anything!" Both girls said at the same time.

"Oh no, then how come I'm looking at pictures of the boys in make-up!" He looked at both girls; both of which had an angelic look on their face. "And don't even give me those looks. I know that you're both guilty, so don't even try it."

"But Mr. Wassom, Iza- Mrs. Takashi said we could," Randi said. Mr. Wassom had a shocked look, but then he grinned devilishly. What he said next shocked everyone, especially since he said it in Japanese.

"Well, since Mrs. Takashi said that it was ok, I guess you ladies are no longer in trouble (A/N: Imagine Randi and Brandi anime-fainting off the top seat of some bleachers, about 3 ft. high.) "I'll talk to you girls later. Remember to write in your journals." Blip Mr. Wassom's face disappeared from the screen and everyone just gaped. Brandi and Randi high-fived before dragging the boys off to practice.

"Those are the weirdest girls I've ever seen," everyone heard Sasuke say before walking off.

"Hey Sesshomaru, we're gonna go see how those girls practice. You comin'?" Inuyasha asked.

"Why not? We can at least see what we're up against."

With the girls

"Hey Randi. I heard a couple of our opponents are going to try and spy on us for tomorrow. What do you say we play a trick on them?"

"Ok, what do you have in mind?" Randi asked Brandi. Brandi motioned towards Randi and whispered her plan into Randi's ear.

"Hey, good thinkin'. Let's do it!"

20 minutes later

"Oh man, the teams in America must be TERRIBLE for the girls to be the champs," Miroku said.

"I know. I mean, they walk and they can't hit or serve any balls. They're gonna be easy to beat."

"I don't know. They could have been fooling us, guys," Sango said. "I wouldn't be quite so cocky if I were you guys." The guys just walked off, leaving Sango to shake her head at them.

'I guess they're going to have to figure it out for themselves,' Sango thought with a shrug of her shoulders.

Lunchtime

"Oh man. Chuckle Brandi, that's the best joke we've pulled yet. They actually believe we're that bad at tennis." Randi high-fived Brandi as they walked outside the gym, having just changed and showered.

"Hey Randi, I'm ready for lunch, how 'bout you? Please say yes," Brandi said looking at Randi hopefully.

"Brandi, when am I not hungry? Of course I'm ready to eat. Also, should we invite the boys to join us?"

"No, I think it should just be us, since starting tomorrow we're pretty much stuck with everyone else. I'm voting for rice and miso soup," Brandi said.

"Fine by me. Now hurry up, I'm starving."

2:30

"Well, that was a great lunch," Randi stated as they walked outside.

"Hey Randi, there's Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, but I wonder who the others are," Brandi was looking to her left down the street.

"Oh great, it's Mr. High-and-Mighty and his little 'dressed-in-red jester', Inuyasha." Randi rolled her eyes before turning in the opposite direction. Her and Sesshomaru had had another argument because of the make-up incident, so Randi was pissed at him.

"Oh, come on. You know you like him. I can bet you he likes you, too."

"Ok, you are so totally smoking something." Randi noticed that the group was heading towards them, so she began pulling Brandi in the opposite direction.

"Ok, give me some proof," Brandi said.

"One, he's a total prick. Two, he hates me. Three, well…um…"

"You like him. Randi has a crush, Randi has a crush," Brandi began singing. Randi began blushing, especially when Inuyasha came up behind them.

"Hey Brandi, who's Randi got a crush on?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, she's got a crush on …," Before Brandi could continue, Randi covered her mouth.

"Don't you dare say another word. You should just shut-up now," Randi warned her. She then uncovered Brandi's mouth.

"Only when you admit you like him. You don't have to say his name, only that you like him; or else." Randi gave her that 'or else, what?' look. "Or else I tell him and everyone else you like him, and don't think I won't."

"Fine, I like him a lot. Are you happy now?" When Brandi nodded, Randi turned and stomped off back towards the house. "Oh, by the way, I happen to know who you think is cute, too. So you had better watch it."

Brandi began running after Randi, yelling at her.

"Who do you think those two were talking about?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"I have no idea. Those two are weird." With that, Inuyasha and Kagome walked towards the park behind Inuyasha's house.

Dinner

"So, Izayoi tells me that you girls had the boys all dressed up like girls. So………, you got any pictures?" Inutaisho asked.

Sesshomaru glared at his father while Inuyasha ducked his head from everyone. Brandi and Izayoi started laughing at the boys while Randi dug out her digital camera and scooted closer to show Inutaisho the pictures she had taken.

The servants couldn't help but smile to themselves. These two American human girls had already changed everyone in the house so much; and it had only been one day.

After Dinner

Randi was walking upstairs when she heard her name called. She turned around to see Inutaisho walking up the stairs towards her.

"Inutaisho, I thought you would be in bed with Izayoi."

"I'm headed that way, but I wanted to talk with you first. Where's Brandi?"

"She's in bed already. Before you ask, I'm an insomniac, so I don't sleep much. So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"You like Sesshomaru, don't you?" He chuckled at the look on Randi's face. "Randi, Brandi didn't tell me. I saw you watching him." He chuckled again at Randi's blush and continued up the stairs and smiled at her. "By the way, Sesshomaru likes you, too."

Randi's Journal

April 30, 20079:34 p.m.

I'll tell you what; I've had an interesting day. It started out with my taking a run and meeting Naruto, a kid from here in Japan. After that, Brandi and me dressed the boys up before going to practice and get this, Mr. Wassom didn't freak on us. In fact, he said ok. Then Brandi said that she over-heard some of our opponents saying they were going to spy on us; so we acted like we played horribly. After practice, we went to lunch and Brandi began giving me hell about liking a guy, namely Sesshomaru Takashi. During dinner, Inutaisho asked to see the pictures of the guys that I had taken with them dressed up as girls. After dinner, while I was walking up to bed, Inutaisho stopped me to talk to me. He said that he knew I liked Sesshomaru and that Sesshomaru liked me. He is so weird, but cool at the same time. Well, I better get some sleep for tomorrow.

Randi

What Randi didn't realize was that at about the time she was writing in her journal, Brandi was, too.

Brandi's Journal

April 30, 20079:30 p.m.

OMG! These last few days have been…well, wow! That's about the only word to describe it. Less than a week ago, Randi and I were solving equations in physics and now we're in Kyoto defending our American honor and competing for a scholarship to one of the top Kyoto universities. It's a chance for us to show our skills and our smarts.

And speaking of prizes, Randi SO likes Sesshomaru. He's one of the sons in our host family; his brother is Inuyasha. Then there's this other Japanese guy, Sasuke Uchiha I think his name is. He is so…dreamy. Wait! I didn't write that! Oh crap! If anyone ever sees this, I will kill them, painfully. Should be enjoyable.

We have a big match coming up, so I better get to sleep. I'll write more later.

Brandi

With both girls

Randi and Brandi both finished writing their entries at about the same time. They both re-read their entries and then started giggling.

"Randi, Brandi! Shut up!" Both heard Inuyasha and Sesshomaru yelling at them. They both yelled goodnight and turned off their lights, but not before looking at their clocks. They gleamed a bright 12:00. Both were surprised, but not that much. Brandi usually went to sleep about 11:30-12:00 and Randi usually went to bed about 1:00-2:00 a.m.
