Yiku: Hah! I'm back!

Hiei: Shouldn't you be working on that Fruits Basket fic?

Yiku: I'll get to it eventually; I'm running out of ideas. It be on hiatus at the moment. So! I've devised this parody of one of Shakespeare's greatest plays!

Hiei: O_O I AM NOT DEGRADING MYSELF BY SPURTING STUPID LOVE NONSENSE TO SOME WENCH FROM ANOTHER FAMILY!!

Yiku: Not that play! It's Macbeth!

Hiei: o_o Oh. Wait, I don't wanna do it!

Yiku: You'll get to be Macbeth...

Hiei: Ooh, really?

Yiku: ~snicker~ Of course!

Hiei: Alright, I guess that's kinda kickass.

Yiku ^^ Good!

Disclaimers: Togashi sama has YYH. Shakespeare has Macbeth. I have a computer.

Chapter One: Macbeth!

The play is set on a stage designed horribly by the cast members—

Sheba: I chipped in and my part's NOT horrible!

Yiku: ^^; Tis not my problem! Anyway, let's get on with it, shall we?

Kuwabara: Ohh! I wanna be in it!

Yiku: Of course you're in it. So's Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke –

Yusuke: Shaddup, Yiku!

Yiku: ~silent for a moment~ Just for that, Yusuke, you're going to be Hecate.

Yusuke: ~shrugs~ Fine, whatever, let's just get this over with...

Yiku: Gladly!

~~ Play Starts, the overly-cheerful music filling the air, sending some audience members home, their ears now stained. ~~

Macbeth ( Hiei ) and his rival/friend Banquo ( Kurama ) were journeying back home from war. While they crossed a heath –

Hiei: Whoa, what the hell is a heath?

Kurama: Does it have anything to do with...a leafy glade?

Yiku: ~shrugs~ I dunno.

Kurama: Then I shall frolic...in the leafy glade.

Hiei: Please don't, let's just end this.

Kurama: ~sighs~ Fine.

Moving on...while they crossed a heath, they were halted by three witches.

Witch #1 ( Botan ): Halt!

(Macbeth and Banquo keep walking)

Witch #2 ( Shizuru ): We said halt, jackasses!

Macbeth: ~sighs and turns around sharply~ What the hell do you want?!

Witch #3 ( Keiko ): ~remembering her lines~ All hail Macbeth, Thane of Glamis!

Witch #1: And all hail, Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor!

Witch #2: ~grumbles~ And king hereafter...

Macbeth: ~smirks~ Indeed.

Banquo: ~enraged~ I demand...A SHRUBBERY!!

Yiku: -_-;;; WRONG PLAY!

Banquo: Ohh...umm...A PROPHECY, then!

Witch #1: ~sighs shortly~ Banquo...thee shall beget kings, though ye be none! ~makes a scary witch noise~

Banquo and Macbeth: ~blink~

All three witches: ~throw smoke bombs down on the ground and begin to cough when they go off, tripping over each other as they try to run away~

Macbeth: ~glares over at Banquo Why the hell did you get to go first?!

Banquo: ~smiles satisfied~ Because I'm smart, and I get to beget kings.

Macbeth: You're not begetting anybody!

Suddenly, two noblemen ( Jin and Touya ) walk by from the direction of the King.

Nobleman #1: Look! It's Macbeth, the rebel thane of Cawdor!

Nobleman #2: ~trying to imitate Nobleman #1's natural accent~ Yes, the one who has been condemned to death!

Macbeth: o.o; I think you're a bit confused...I'm a general in the King's army...

Nobleman #1: Well then, I guess you're screwed. See ya later!

The two nobleman continue into the woods, leaving Macbeth and Banquo a bit dumbfounded.

Banquo: Uh...wasn't that part of the prophecy...?

Macbeth: Hn, only a fool would believe something like that, Banquo.

Banquo: ~sad face~ Whatever...

The next day, an announcement was made that King Duncan had advanced his son, Malcolm, to the throne as Prince of Cumberland. Macbeth and Banquo were present.

Macbeth: ~hopping up and down~ Dammit, I can't see!

Banquo: Shall I get you a box, then?

Macbeth: ~glares at him~

Yiku: ~snickers~

Macbeth: Shaddup, it's not that funny! Damn...

Banquo: ~thinking a bit~ Say...doesn't that tie into the prophecy...?

Macbeth: Yes, now that you mention it. You know what this means?

Banquo: That we're both fools?

Macbeth: No, no, no, it means that we have an open shot at killing the King.

Banquo: Oh, but why would we want to do that?

Macbeth: Because! Don't you want to rule Scotland?!

Banquo: Hmm...not really, but killing someone would be fun! ^^

Macbeth: Yes, yes, whatever. Then, I shall be King of Scotland.

Banquo: Whoo!

Yiku: Shh! Kurama, they weren't enthused by death back then!

Banquo: Well, how would you know? Were you there?

Yiku: No, but-

Banquo: Shh, I'm acting!

Later that night, Macbeth and his wife-

Hiei: Gahh! I have to have a wife?!

Yiku: Yes you do! Don't blame me for Shakespeare's ideas!!

Hiei: ~sighs~ Who does it have to be...?

Anyway, later that night, Macbeth and his wife sat in the dining hall, when...

Macbeth: ~suddenly sets his fork down~ I have an idea.

Lady Macbeth (Botan): What?

Macbeth: What say we invite the King and his two sons here for dinner?

Lady Macbeth: That sounds unlike you, why?

Macbeth: ~duh face~ So I can kill Duncan, then kill his sons, so I can be King.

Lady Macbeth: ~pounds the table~ Yes! I totally agree!

Macbeth: ~a bit worried about Botan's drama~ That's...good. Then, we shall invite them next week!

~~End Act I~~

Okay, I had to stop there, cuz it's a good place to stop at.

Anyway, gimme some feedback, and if anyone else notices if I've interpreted Macbeth wrong, lemme know, so I can correct it before it gets worse!

Thanks guys!
