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!
