Ardith storms into the apartment and slams the door. Hard.

Yahiko: I think she's a little upset.

Hayama: No kidding.

Inuyasha: What the hell is wrong with the bi-

Rushe: Inuyasha-san!

Inuyasha: ...the girl.....

The boys all look at each other. Waiting.

Yahiko: Fine! I'll go find out what's wrong with her.

The rest breath a sigh of relief. They don't have to deal with an upset girl.

Hayama: I think you have the most experiance, anyway. I mean, you have to deal with that Kaoru all the time.

Inuyasha: *nods* Yeah. Go for it.

Yahiko: But you guys have to deal with girls all the ti-

Hayama: But you have more experiance with them.

Yahiko: Hayama, you just told me all about your Sana-chan and her mental problems.

Hayama: Hn. Her mental problems are nothing compared to real women's. Women like Kaoru and Ardith.

Inuyasha: The brat is right. It's probably *shudder* women's problems. Go see what's wrong with the...girl.

Yahiko: Isn't Kagome 15? Doesn't she have women's problems?

Inuyasha: Being 15 is totally different from bein 17.... or 21. She's still not much of a woman.

Hayama: *mutters* That's not what you were saying in your sleep.

Inuyasha: You little bastard.

Hayama runs quickly out of Inuyasha's reach. His leopard ears blowing in the resultant breeze.

Rushe: This isn't helping. Someone should go in and talk with her.

Yahiko: Why don't you?

Rushe: I'm not sure about how to comfort her. I mean....she didn't like me washing her underwear that much.

Hayama: *looks down at the sudsy water in the sink* Then why are you still doing it?

Rushe: *smiles innocently* I think she'll get used to it. Yoko did.

Yahiko: *sweatdrop* I'll go in now.

Inuyasha: Good luck. Hell, if she's anything like Kikyou when she's in a pissy mood... Anyway, good luck.

Yahiko looks with trepidation at the doorknob. He takes a deep breath and opens the door.

Yahiko: Ardith, what's wrong?

Ardith: Those damn funding people! @#&@$! those @#*&%!!!

Yahiko: *shocked* Ardith? What happened?

Ardith: *tears in her eyes* They told me the wrong thing. After all this work! And now I don't know if we can run the club right this quarter. Everyone is going to blame me. They'll think I'm a bad president!

Yahiko: Is it that bad?

Ardith: Yes! God, what am I supposed to do? If I don't get enough money, we can't have all the showings for the quarter. #$^*&@!!! #@*^!!

Yahiko: What are you going to do?

Ardith: *looks hopeful* Ask you guys to beat the crap out of them?

Yahiko: Okay. Inuyasha, Hayama! Rushe!

Ardith: No! I'm just frustrated, that's all.

The rest of the boys come in looking just as wary as Yahiko had.

Yahiko: 'so kay. Ardith's just royally pissed about stuff at school. Anime club problems.

Hayama: What do you want us to do?

Inuyasha: Hn. *cracks his knuckels* Beat the crap out of them?

Ardith: Sweet of you guys, but I don't think that would be right. I'm just worried about the members. They all look forward to the weekly anime showings. I hope they won't blame me for all of this. I'm trying. Really. *sigh*

Yahiko: We could beat the crap out of them.

Ardith: No. It would just be petty. *takes a deep breath* I'm above that. At least right now that I've calmed down. *mutters to herself, chanting* I'm above it. I'm above it.

Rushe: Didn't they do this to you last quarter?

Ardith: Yeah, how did you know?

Rushe: You were choking your stuffed pikachu in your sleep and complaining about the lack of money.

Ardith: *sweatdrop* Really?

Hayama: Why are you watching her in her sleep?

Rushe: Just in case.

Yahiko: In case of what? *mutters to himself* Maybe I don't want to know....

Rushe: Just in case she needs me. *smiles innocently*

Yahiko: I think that you are some kind of perv, Rushe, even if you don't know it.

Rushe: *smiles innocently* That could just be the DS part of me.

Yahiko: DS?

Rushe: Dark Schneider. He's an over-sexed dark wizard who's sealed in my body.

Yahiko: Oh.

Ardith: If any of you are virgins (and I assume most are, since you're all under 15, but I could be wrong), restrain from kissing him. That releases the seal! Oh...maybe that only applies to girls.

Inuyasha: So, you're an over-sexed dark wizard deep down?

Rushe: Oh no. It's just, I'm part of him and he's part of me. I love who he loves. He loves who I love.

Hayama: So, you have a split personality disorder?

Ardith clears her throat.

Ardith: Can we get back to my problem, guys?

Inuyasha: Heh. He's more interesting.

Ardith: Ya know, I heard Miroku was going to visit Kagome this week. And Shippou is going with out somewhere with Hikaru. I wonder if they'll be alone?

Inuyasha: Do ya think I care, bi-

Rushe: Inuyasha!

Ardith: I could be wrong, though.... Maybe I can arrange for you to go visit her. Hikaru said that you could come over.....

Inuyasha: Why would I want to-

Ardith: *not listening to him* Maybe you should write to her or something. To visit Shippou, of course. Anyway, I'm gonna just sit here and try to figure out some way of raising funds. I'm a lot calmer than before.

Ardith sighes in frustration, then shakes her head with regret.

Ardith: I can try for other ways of funding instead. Maybe they'll give us something.

Inuyasha: Or we can beat the crap out of them.

Ardith: It would be wrong. Anyway, thanks guys. You make me feel better. I'm going to go out and have some fun with my friends.

Ardith, satisfied with that descision, gets her stuff and leaves.

Yahiko: Doesn't she have finals coming up?

Rushe: Maybe Ardith-san is just really confident about her classes.

Inuyasha: Or really irreponsible.

Hayama: Or just plain weird.

All: Weird.

Yahiko: She's just gonna try staying up to study, then fall asleep doing it. And she still has these funding problems to worry her.

Hayama: We could still beat them up. No matter what she said, it would make her feel better.

Rushe: Oh look, she left the computer on again.

Hayama: Or we can just surf the web. Who votes for that?

Several hands go up.

Inuyasha: What the hell are these "bookmarks?"

Yahiko: Fanfics and other links to web pages. You should read the stuff that's out there. You wouldn't believe some of the stories.... Ardith even writes some. She's planning one with you and Kagome.

Hayama: A lemon, of course.

Inuyasha: What the fu- hell is a lemon?

Yahiko: Seems like loads of fun for whoever's in it..... *turns to Inuyasha and starts explaining*

Rushe: Well...I'm going to wash Ardith-san's clothes.

Hayama: Don't you mean underwear?

Rushe: It will make her happy.

Hayama: *mutters to himself* Her or you?

Inuyasha: *yells* She can't be planning that!!

Ardith: Dang it. I should have let them do it. *grrr* Must go out and try to forget about all of this. Before I do something I'll regret. *sneeze* What the heck? Now I'm getting sick, too? Those boys better be behaving themselves. *sigh*
