****THE CHIKAMORI SELFACY**** (WHY? BC CMAR_NYC's ASIAN SKIN Morph, THAT'S WHY!) REBOOT!

Close Neighbours Make For Tense Relations

Studying was never fun...for Haruo nor for River. None of them enjoyed the prospect of homework or th tests that followed thereafter and it was a royal pain to feel motivated enough to do homework all the time. But Mayumi was a stickler for homework and poor Haruo just didn't find that it was all that interesting. In fact, neither did River but at least she was hovering around an A average in school Haruo was struggling and he knew it. With only three days left of school to go, He was going to be hard pressed to pull his grades up to an A average.

But it didn't stop Harou from making faces about it.

While Haruo did the same with his. (Had to put in elevators because the darned steps have bug issues with the lot direction). And things were quiet and settled down for the evening at the Chikamori/McIrish Duplex.

They'll be scarred for life.

It was directed at Fiona for sitting beside Yasunobu. Yasunobu was HER possession and woe betide the person who dared to poke herself between Mayumi and her possession.

They were just watching television, it wasn't like she was horizontal on Mayumi's bed telling Yasunobu to give it to her. Evidently this crazy woman equated sitting on the couch as destroying the sanctified bonds of marriage.

Mayumi snarled as she glared daggers at Fiona. "You think you can sit on my couch with MY husband, you weren't just watching TV, you were hitting on him."
Fiona smiled a wicked smile as she thought for a brief second So that's what that ogre thinks, she thinks I'm going to take her husband away from her.
Both River and Haruo were silent, not saying a word as their two mothers fought not more than ten feet away from them.

Fiona nearly laughed in Mayumi's face as she thought ...and you treat him like a possession...instead of a husband, how do you think that makes him feel?

During a moment that Mayumi took a breath, Fiona jumped in, "Are you done ranting, you pompous windbag? If you're not, I'm going to inform you that I'm rapidly growing tired of your ranting and your insinuations."

"Yeah...anything to get away from this..." River muttered staring down at her homework.

What do you think of that, you little snot-nosed witch!!! Maybe I should take him away from you to teach you a lesson." Fiona snarled in Mayumi's face. That was a mistake...if she thought that Mayumi would back down. Since Mayumi had the evil/mean-spirited combination, she won the fight.
