Ardith is sitting at her computer again. Her headphones are on and she is bopping her head along to the music.

Yahiko: Ardith! AR-DITH! *taps her on the head with his bokken*

Ardith: Ow! That hurt! Oh, Yahiko. I'm typing my Japanese essay.

Yahiko: Dang, the volume must be turned up really loud on those things. I called ya a bunch of times.

Ardith: What's up?

Hayama: The door bell's ringing. You told us not to answer it.

Ardith: I told you guys not to answer it if no one else is home with you. I don't want some crazy pedophile to grab you two or anything.

Yahiko: *muttering to himself* There are other crazy pedophiles?

Ardith grabs the bokken in a move worthy of Kaoru and whaps him on the head.

Ardith: I'm not a perv! I'll have you know that I'm quite normal! And I've been called cute, even! Why you-

Hayama: They're still ringing the door bell.

Ardith: Coming!

Ardith dashes to the door, leaving the pair in her dust.

Yahiko: She's fast.

Hayama: Hn. You haven't seen Sana run yet. Hey, she left her computer on.

At the door:

Ardith: Hello? Sorry for making you wait.

Rushe: Oh, that's okay, Ardith-san

Ardith: K-k-kawaii! Rushe-kun! You're here!

Rushe: I thought Sae e-mailed you that we were coming. Can you sign here? I'll give it to the delivery man. He's waiting downstairs.

Ardith: We? Inuyasha's with you?

Rushe: Yup. He's right here.

Inuyasha: Why the hell do I have to be here?

Ardith: *hugs* I wanted you to come! Wah! I'm so happy. *grabs his ears* Oh. They are soft!

Inuyasha: Let go of me! Damn it! You BI-*mwfuf*

Ardith covers his mouth, her grip is really strong.

Ardith: Inuyasha, keep it clean. There are children around.

Inuyasha: *wgrwrfewoourew*

Ardith: *nods* Promise. 'kay? *lets him go*

Inuyasha: It says on the form that you can't change our personalities. That's just the fucking way I talk. Just get used ta it.

Ardith's eyes get all teary.

Inuyasha: Dammit! You aren't c-c-crying, are you?

Ardith: *sniff* No.

Inuyasha: Fine! I'll keep it a little cleaner. But not much!

Ardith: *softly* Thank you.

She starts walking back to her room. She has a slight smirk on.

Ardith: Come in. You have to meet Yahiko and Hayama.
(thinking) Guys. The sight of a few tears and they just don't know what to do. I'll have to save that trick. I don't want them to be desensitized.
Oh, Inuyasha. Hikaru has Kagome. You can visit her if you want.

Inuyasha: Why would I want to visit her?

Ardith: Oh, I see. Maybe Miroku will visit her. Shippou is with her in any case. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who want to meet Kagome. She's so cute and all that.

Inuyasha: Maybe I'll go see...Shippou later.

Ardith: *smiles* Whatever you say....

Yahiko: *blushing* I can't believe that they put all of that up for everyone to see. Everyone all over the world.

Hayama: Everything is on the internet, Yahiko. Let see. Bookmarks.... Inuyasha. Kodocha. Fanfics. Naked Mulder?

Ardith: You guys! *the pair scramble and shut off the computer screen* GET OFF THAT COMPUTER! I told you to cut that out!

Hayama: *leopard ears pop up* That's not what you said. You said not to go on the 'net when you weren't around. You were in the apartment.

Inuyasha: What the hell is all of this?

Ardith: My computer. My TV. My bed. My stuffed Pikachu. My manga collection. My-

Inuyasha: You sure have a lot of crap.

Ardith: It's not crap. I'll have you know that I need it all to survive.

Yahiko: Especially her wall of Kenshin! *points to the plethora of posters the wall behind her computer* She has so many posters of that guy, you'd think that she was obsessed or something.

Ardith: ...

Hayama: Hn. Well, we're all stuck with her.

Ardith: ....

Rushe: Ardith-san? Daijoubu?

Ardith: *sniffle* Yeah. I'm fine.

Yahiko: Y-y-you're crying?

Ardith: No. *turns around to show them her tearless face* I'm just tired. Why don't you all go into the living room. Hayama and Yahiko, you can introduce these guys in how to use the TV and all that. Have *sniff* fun. I'll go clean up the kitchen later tonight.

Hayama: ...

Yahiko: Okay. Come on.

The door closes. Ardith smirks again.

Yahiko: *voice faint through the door* I'll go clean up the kitchen.

Ardith: Note to self. Guilt trips are also good for training boys.

Hayama: You guys don't seriously think she's as cute and innocent as she seems, do you?

Yahiko: Well.... At least she cooks better than Kaoru.

Inuyasha: Heh. Cute and innocent? Nope. When she cries, though.... I can't handle girls crying.

Rushe: We'll I'm gonna try to make her happy. *pulls out a stack of Ardith's underwear and starts to wash them*

Yahiko: *sweatdrop* Washing her underwear will make her happy? Where did you get those anyway?

Rushe: *smiles innocently* It always worked for Yoko-san. Ardith-san keeps them somewhere in her room.

Hayama: I thought you get slapped when you do that with Yoko.

Rushe: Yeah, but it makes her happy.

Inuyasha: Hey, Kagome has some just like this. *holds up a pair of white ones*

Yahiko: That was more than I wanted to know.

Hayama: You've seen the underwear of the main girl character of your manga story? Hmmm. You're more mature than I took you for.

Inuyasha: *drops the undies* Shut the hell up.

Rushe: *smiles* We're all going to get along together so well.
