Disclaimer: Songs and chars ain't mine.
The small room was crowded. A stage. A mike. A sound system and a few coolers of cans. Beer and soda. It was karaoke night. Just a fun night of tunes, friends and drinking. Right?
Nakago grimaced and rolled his eyes in disgust reflecting on how below him this whole charade was. Soi was leaning against him her arms wrapped protectively around his chest and exchanging cold glances with Tomo. Ashiare sat on the floor gnawing at his arm as Miboshi levitated above him. Suboshi and Tamahome were in a yelling match that would have escalated into a death match had Amiboshi and Chichiri not restrained them. Mitsukake was stroking Tama as Chiriko silently composed psychological profiles of Suboshi and Tamahome and reflected on how he could write a most engrossing thesis on the instinctive impulse of vengeance. Tasuki and Nuriko were busy trying to out do each other on the strongest proof they could consume without becoming too wasted to sit up straight (Meaning at all). Hotohori was infatuated with running his hands through his long hair and Miaka and Yui stood in the front of the room on a small stage. Miaka was stuffing her face with pretzels as Yui hooked up a sound system and grabbed the microphone.
"Ok, I think we're all set up here. Thank you all for turning up." She said eyeing Suboshi as he stared at her with a dreamy look. Tasuki leapt up from his chair, fan in one hand, beer can in the other.
"Thanks!? Thanks for what, huh? It ain't like we had a f^%$#^% choice! What are we doing anyways!?" Miaka looked up from her empty bag and said in that oh-so horrible chipper voice
"We're having a concert! Isn't it great?" The Seishi sat in silence and Yui rolled her eyes.
"Who comes up with these stupid ideas anyway?" ((Hey shove it blondie! I can do whatever I damn well please!)) Yui looked up at the ceiling. "Oh? And who are you?" ((The author. You know what that means?)) What? ((That means I can manipulate you more then Nakkie, so feign happiness or I'll have you singing love songs to Suboshi, got it?)) Yui's eyes went wide and she forced a big smile onto her face. "Great, isn't it? Er . . .anyway, you all picked a song to sing. So let's get started, ok?" The Seishi, having been frightened by the satanic author all nodded fearfully and resigned themselves to a night of pain and terror far worse then anything Nakago could have dreamed up.
Miaka bounced off the stage and landed in Tamahome's lap as Yui rolled her eyes and announced: "Soi volunteered to go first. She'll be singing Lovefool by the Cardigans! Thanks Soi." Yui took her seat as far from Suboshi as possible. Soi calmly took the stage as Nakago tensed.
Tasuki laughed "Ah, this oughta be good." Soi glared at him and began to sing and dance as the music came on. Surprisingly, her voice blended with music very well and even Taskui shut up to listen.
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
Tomo: He loved her? (Amiboshi smacks him)
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Suboshi: (rolls eyes before returning them to Yui) Right, Nakago married! Lady Yui and I on the other hand . . .
Yui: (Rolls eyes) Dream on yo-yo boy!
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought just stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!
So I cry and I pray and I beg
Yui: I always thought she was rather composed . . .
Suboshi: (Breathy) Yeah . . .
Love me love me
say that you love me
Tomo: That'll be the day.
Nuriko: Yeah, imagine, Nakago with feelings!
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Tamahome: Sorry, he only does that to Yui!
Miaka: Baka! (Smacks him)
love me love me
pretend that you love me
Tomo: He does!
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
Tasuki: Don't worry, he needs you . . .every night . . . after dark . . .
Suboshi: (Closes eyes and shakes head) Bad picture! Bad picture . . .*smiles dreamily* Yui on the other ha-
Yui: (Smacks him across the head) Baka!
So I cry and I pray for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
Tomo: Or me!
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Ahitare: (Growls and Soi acknowledges him with a nod before returning to singing her heart out to a very red Nakago.)
Lately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake
Tamahome: Well Nakago would be pretty bad if you fell asleep, you know?
Miaka: (Mutters) You might want to take a lesson from him . . .
Tamahome: What!?
Miaka: (Smiles sweetly) Nothing!
and I wonder
what I could do have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
Yui: Just like everyone else . . .
Chiriko: She might want to consult Miaka on how to deal with those feelings of confusion . . .
Chichiri: Yeah, Miaka could really help her with that, no da?
I don't care if you really care
Nakago: (Softly) Then why are you SINGING this!?
as long as you don't go
So I cry, I pray and I beg . . .
Love me love me
say that you love me
Tomo: (Leaps up and begins to accompany Soi)
Hotohori: Tasuki, fry him won't you?
Tasuki: REKKA SHIEN!
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Amiboshi: I think we need to get Soi a few self-esteem self-help books . . .
Suboshi: (Still gazing at Yui) Yeah . . .
Miboshi: Why isn't the Priestess singing these lines?
Suboshi: (Shouts) HOW DARE YOU INSULT LADY YUI!
Yui: Will you all shut up? I knew what he was doing for cryin' out loud! And thanks Suboshi.
Suboshi: (Dreamily) Anytime . . .
love me love me
pretend that you love me
Tomo: (Squeaks) He does . . .
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
Tasuki: Like I said he needs you at night!
Miaka: Hey Nuriko, maybe you should sing this to Hotoho- (Smacked by Nuriko)
Chiriko: Theoretically almost any of you girls could sing this to at least one of the men!
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
anything but you
All: We get the point! Enough with the repetition!
love me love me
say that you love me
Suboshi: Not gonna happen!
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Tamahome: That's Yui's line . . .
love me love me
I know that you need me
Nakago: (yells) Then why are you singing this infernal song!?
I can't care 'bout anything but you . . .
Soi bowed to the applause and shyly took her seat next to a very red Nakago. All the Seishi (With the exception of a charred Tomo) snickered at Nakago's discomfort and looked rather amused. Chichiri grinned and said
"Maybe this won't be so bad after all, no da?" Nuriko nodded.
"Yeah, we got to see Nakago embarrassed and it's only the first song!" Tasuki frowned.
"Why is this written in story form now and script form when Soi was singing?" Yui shrugged and replied
"Because the author is an idiot who can't keep a steady flow in a simple sto- ((Suboshi and a love song)) . . .I mean . . .um, it's easier to follow? ((Nice save)) Ok . . next is . . . oh no . . ." She slumped in her seat and buried her face in her hands as Suboshi leapt up waving his hand.
"It's me! It's me! I'm singing Number One Crush by Garbage!" He rushed onto the stage with a maniacal look of pleasure and began to sing, intently staring at Yui while clutching the mike.
I would die for you
I would die for you
Yui: (moans softly) Oh God . . . ((Heh heh, I told you not to mess with me.))
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
Nuriko: (Shouts) Ain't gonna happen!
Soi: (Shakes head) Poor mislead boy
Nakago: (Mutters) Look who's talking . . .
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
Yui: I KNEW it was a mistake to tell him he could do that!
Soi:(looks at Amiboshi) Um, I thought you were the crying twin, no offense.
Amiboshi: (Shakes head) He's got it baaaaadddd . . .
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
Miaka: (Sincerely)Well that WOULD be nice of him . . .
Chichiri: (Sadly) Tough job though, no da?
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you
All: AWWWWWWWWWWW! That's so sweet!
Yui: One of my wishes should've been to smite you all!
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
Tamahome: Can we say . . .obsessive?
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored
Yui: (Darkly) Can we say stalker?
I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
and tear it apart
Chiriko: Those are pleasant images . . .
Tasuki: What the f^%$ is WRONG with this kid?
Miaka: I have no idea!
Tomo: Do you ever?
Nuriko: This boy is standing right on the edge . . .
Hotohori: This boy went OVER the edge!
Amiboshi: I would be hurt this isn't about loyalty to me . . .but it's just SCARY!
Mitsukake: If you'd like . . .I have some medicine that might . . .er, CALM him a little.
I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me
Yui: (Shouts) I am NOTHING like you!
Hotohori: Talk about denial . . .
Nuriko: Give the girl a break!
Violate all the love that I'm missing
Miboshi: What love? That girl is ice!
Soi: So the poor boy is delusional.
Tomo: Look who's talk-(ZAP) Urk . . .
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
Tamahome: (jumps up) You wanna know what REAL pain is you homicidal fre- (Miaka smacks him)
Miaka: You want the author to have you singing love songs to Nakago!?
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored
Suboshi: (Breaking from the song) Hear that? I'll just keep tryin'!
Yui: (Dives under the table and begins to rock back and forth) This is not happening, this is not happening . . .
Amiboshi: Um . . .Shun, the song?
Suboshi: Oh . . .right! (Starts singing again)
I would die for you
Tamahome: You do . . .
I would kill for you
Nakago: You do . . .
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I would wait for you
Tomo: Repeatedly . . .
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
Nuriko: This is getting disturbing . . .
Tamahome: GETTING disturbing?
Tasuki: This kid needs some serious f$#$#*&% help!
Miaka: (Darkly) Don't forget defile . . .
To be a part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you
All: YOU DO!
Nakago: Wasn't THAT an endearing little number?
Yui: I swear I am never going to forgive the author for this. ((Heh Heh)) Soi, why couldn't you sing that one?
Soi: Um . . .because I'm not quite so mentally unstable . . .not so er, INTENSE!
Suboshi jumped off the stage to a slightly . . .ah, UNERVED crowd and sat next to Yui who climbed over Amiboshi and sat staring fearfully at Suboshi with her arms around her knees.
"What was wrong with the song Lady Yui?" Suboshi asked distraught.
"That song was f&$#$%ed up kid!" Yelled Tasuki. The others all murmured agreement and Suboshi slumped dejected. Miaka shook her head ruefully at her shaking friend and announced
"Since Yui seems a bit . . .um, distracted at the moment, I'll say the next one! Chiriko will sing 'Just a Girl' by No Doubt!" A brief silence ensued before the room erupted into laughter. Chiriko glanced up at the ceiling looking very sad and betrayed.
"What have I ever done to you?" ((Sorry kid, my friend insisted on this one. Do this and I'll letcha have ear plugs when Mitsukake sings, ok?)) Chiriko grinned and took the stage.
Mitsukake: (Frightened) What AM I singing? ((Wouldn't YOU like to know? Bwuh-hahahahaha!)) Well . . .yes, that's why I asked. ((Arg! These people have no sense of sarcasm!))
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
Tomo: Will it match that ridiculous outfit you always wear?
Yui: Miaka can lend you one of hers.
Tasuki: (Grins) Yeah, Tamahome can take it off for her
Tamahome: BAKA! (Smacks him)
Nuriko: (Shaking head) No, no . . .the colors would clash!
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Amiboshi: I sure was.
Suboshi: (Still sulking) Yeah, you'd think they'd've figured it out from the opening credits
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
Soi: (Chuckles) Who? His mother's?
Nakago: Soi, how uncharacteristically cruel of you . . .I like it . . .
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Tasuki: Now THIS is some funny S^%##!
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
Nuriko: That's for sure!
Hotohori: I thought you got over the gay thing!
Nuriko: (Hugs him) Don't worry your highness . . .he's too young for me!
Chichiri: Guess that answers that question, no da?
So don't let me have any rights
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Nakago: (Hold his hand two inches off the floor) Where? Here?
Hotohori: (Holds his hand lower) Or here?
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
Miboshi: (Grinning evily) I can name a few . . .
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
Tasuki: What so f$#*(&^* scary about STUDYING?
Tamahome: Says the uneducated bandit . . .
Miaka: Says the barely educated farm boy . . .
Yui: Says the educated moron . . .
Suboshi: (Dreamily) Says the educated, beautiful goddess of my hea(ZAP)
Yui: Thanks Soi.
'Cause I'm just a girl,
I'd rather not be
Tomo: You're not . . .but I must agree with Nuriko, you are starting to seem rather cute . .
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
Chichiri: Why couldn't he drive a cart at night, no da?
Mitsukake: Perhaps he is too small to hold the reins?
I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
Soi: (Smirking) No, that's Tomo.
Yui: Or Miboshi . . .
Nuriko: Or Ashtare . . .
Tomo: (Muttering) Tin-plated trollop!
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Miboshi: (Chuckles) Yes boy . . .the eyes . . .
Suboshi: Will somebody SHUT HIM UP?
Amiboshi: Calm yourself Shun . . .
Tasuki: No way! Yo-Yo Boy is right! REKKA SHIEN!
I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Tomo: (Drooling) I am . . .
Soi: Huh, if you thought you blew any chance with Nakago before this evening . . .
Just your typical prototype
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Oh...am I making myself clear?
Amiboshi: Painfully so!
Nuriko: Really! What's with the repetition in these songs?
I'm just a girl
All: (Snickering) You don't say!
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
Tomo: Well if you asked me REAL nice I might let you be my (ZAP)
All: Thanks Soi
Soi: (Smiles) Anytime so long as it's Tomo!
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
Miboshi: More then me, boy?
Tasuki: Want some more, huh? REKKA SHIEN!
Miboshi: Ga-ga urk!
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
Chichiri: A Suzaku warrior, what else no da?
Hotohori: Perhaps he's been studying too hard.
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Tasuki: (laughs)What? A whiny pain in the a$$?
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
Nuriko: Wanna bet, Chiriko? Why couldn't I sing this song? ((Sorry, I promised my friend, no da?)) Fine . . . mine better be good! ((It will, it will.))
Oh...I've had it up to!
Tamahome: (Holds hand at seat level) Here?
Oh...I've had it up to!!
Nakago: (Holds hand just above the floor) Here?
Oh...I've had it up to here.
Leaping off the stage Chiriko placed his ear plugs in his ear before the merciless laughter of his friends and enemies alike damaged his fragile ego too much. By this time Yui had composed herself enough to stand and announce the next song so long as Amiboshi was between her and his . . .devoted . . .brother.
"Ok, here's one for the ladies!" She grinned brightly "Hotohori will not only be singing I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred! But doing a little strip tease!" She sat and exchanged a smile with Soi and Miaka as the Emperor took the stage in his lovely red silk robe ((It's good to be the author)) while the gentlemen ((And I use the term LOOSELY)) coughed nervously. Nakago, Tamahome and Suboshi all sat forward slightly, glaring at Hotohori as he began to shake his thing to the music and Nuriko's eyes turned into stars.
I'm too sexy for my love
too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me
Tamahome: (Glaring at Miaka) Is he talking about you?
Miaka: (Far gone) Huh . . .what did you say?
I'm too sexy for my shirt
too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
Soi: Take it off!
Nuriko: Yeah, take it off!
And I'm too sexy for Milan
too sexy for Milan New York and Japan
Yui and Miaka: (Yell) Noooooooo!
Suboshi and Tamahome: (Growl) I'm gonna KILL this guy . . .
Chichiri: It's funny, no da? Who'da thought that Hotohori could bring Suboshi and Tamahome together, no da?
And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing
Chichiri: What's disco, no da?
Yui: (Distracted) It's a kind of music . . .
Amiboshi: (whips out flute) Music?
Nuriko: Not THAT kind!
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk
yeah I do my little turn on the catwalk
I'm too sexy for my car
too sexy for my car
Amiboshi: What's a car?
Miboshi: Perhaps that boy Chiriko would know . . .
Chiriko: EEP! No, no I don't!
Tasuki: (Amazed) Chiriko . . .DOESN'T know!?
Nakago: (Glaring at Soi) They are from Lady Yui's world . . .Soi?
Soi: (Intently watching Hotohori strip) Back off iceman!
Too sexy by far
And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat
what do you think about that
Tasuki: (Sarcastic) Well geeze, Hotohori . . .Suzaku forbid you loose the bucket hat!
Tomo: Even though it does nothing for the outfit!
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk
yeah I shake my little touche on the catwalk
Nuriko: (Smiling) Now THIS I like . . .
Soi, Yui, and Miaka: You think YOU like it?
Soi: I have to put up with Iceman . . .
Yui: I get Yo-Yo boy!
Miaka: And I have a completely inexperienced teenager!
I'm too sexy for my
too sexy for my
too sexy for my
'Cos I'm a model you know what I mean
All but Yui and Miaka: No.
Soi: (grinning) And I don't care!
Tamahome: What IS a model anyway?
Suboshi: (Watching Yui drool) Something that deserves killing . . .
Nakago: (Watching Soi drool)Agreed.
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk
yeah I shake my little touche on the catwalk
Soi, Yui, Nuriko and Miaka: (Cheering, yelling, hooting, whistling) Wahoo! Yay! Take it off! Yeah baby!
Tamahome, Suboshi and Nakago: (Conversing quietly) Ok, so we'll jump him in the back alley after the show . . .Tamahome will lure him in, Suboshi will take him out and Nakago will destroy the remains with that chi blast so then we can . . .
I'm too sexy for my cat
too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
Mitsukake: What has Tama ever done to him?
I'm too sexy for my love
too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me
Tasuki: Hey ya hear that? Houki is leavin' him!
Tamahome: (Happily) Just like Miaka did!
Chichiri: The Emperor's failed love life is nothing to make fun of, no da?
Suboshi: (Nodding vehemently) Yes! Yes it is!
And I'm too sexy for this song
Yui, Soi, Nuriko and Miaka: (Dissapointed) Oh . . .
All the boys (Except Nuriko): (Cheers) YAY!
Yui: Can you sing it again?
Suboshi: Yes, sing it again so I can take aim!
Yui: (Sneers) You know, take a lesson from your brother, he didn't say ANYTHING nasty during that!
Amiboshi: (Face turning red) Yeah . . .well I kinda did take off my shirt with Miaka . . .(trails)
Suboshi: (Stunned) WHAT!?!?!
A flushed and triumphant and clad only in a pair of borrowed boxer shorts ((So good!)) emperor leapt from the stage to the loud whistles and applause of the female members of the audience (And Nuriko) and the iced glares from Nakago, Suboshi and Tamahome.
"Ya know Hotohori, I would REALLY like to talk for you a moment after the concert if you don't mind?" Tamahome growled. Hotohori smiled and shook his head. "Of course not." Yui, still applauding, stood with a broad smile.
"That was really, really, really great! Anyway, moving right along next we have Miaka singing . . ." she trailed for a moment and gave her friend a look that crossed a smile and a look of expectant disgust "What else? It's Rainin' Men by the Weather Girls!" Miaka bounced in her own special (Read: painfully annoying) way to the stage and grinned idiotically as the music came on. Happily, Yui had the foresight to turn the music waaaaaaay up so Miaka's off-key screech could barely be heard.
Hi (hi), we're your weather girls (uh-huh)
And have we got news for you (you better listen)
Get ready all you lonely girls
Yui and Soi: (Cheering) Yeah!
Suboshi: (Muttering) She wouldn't be so lonely if she'd just let me-
Amiboshi: Quit before she hears you Shun.
And leave those umbrellas at home (all right)
Humidity is rising (uh rising)
Barometer's getting low (how low girl, uh-oh)
According to all sources (what sources now)
The street's the place to go (we better hurry up)
Chiriko: It sounds as though a storm were coming . . .
Tamahome: Sounds like the ladies are gonna incite a riot!
Tasuki: I HATE women! They're cunning!
Mitsukake: I would think if men were plummeting from the sky, women would want the safety of cover.
'Cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past 10 (half past 10)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (start raining men)
Soi, Yui and Nuriko: YEAH! (Start singing along)
All the other guys: (Dumbfounded) WHAT!?
Chiriko: The lack of logic is just . . .beyond me!
Tamahome: They get picked up in a wind storm or somethin'?
Chichiri: It sounds scary, no da?
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men,
Amen I'm gonna go out,
I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men,
Hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blond, dark and lean
Nuriko: (Dreamily) His majesty!
Soi: (Sighing) Nakago!
Miaka: (Pauses) Tama . . .home! (Continues singing)
Yui: (Looking at Suboshi) Don't think I'M saying anything!
Suboshi: (Desperately) But I'm lean!
Amiboshi: (Shaking head) Give it up!
Rough and tough and strong and mean
Soi: OH! She's describing Nakago perfectly!
Tamahome: Yeah, or Tasuki!
Tasuki: REKKA SHIEN!
Tamahome: Gurk . . .
God bless Mother Nature
Chichiri: That must be Taiitsukun, no da!
She's a single woman too
Tamahome: Yep, definitely Taiitsukun!
She took on the heavens
Mitsukake: Actually, we took on the heavens.
And she did what she had to do
She fought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy
Yui: (Mockingly bitter) Or at least Miaka could have five or more doting over her constantly . . .
Suboshi: (Sincere) You still have me Lady Yui!
Yui: (Wide-eyed) I think . . .I'm going. . .to cry.
Hotohori: But . . .but I'M the perfect guy!
It's raining men,
Hallelujah
It's raining men,
Amen It's raining men,
Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
Tasuki: What kind of f^$#*&%d up song IS this ANYWAY!?!?!
Tomo: Hmmm . . .an illusion of raining Nakagos. That's a concept I could learn to like.
Nakago: I will kill you someday.
Suboshi: Um . . .
Amiboshi: A little late for that.
I hear stormy weather movin' in
'Bout to break it, about to begin
Hear the thunder, don't you lose your head
Rip up the roof and stay in bed (rip up the roof and stay in bed)
Tomo: Is this song about Soi?
Soi: Oh shut up! Painted freak! (ZAP)
God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do
She fought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy
Tasuki: SCREW THIS! (Drinks until he passes out)
Tamahome: When do we MEN get a few songs!?
With a squeal of electricity the song cut short and all looked to see Nakago standing by the sound system with the dangling plug in hand. "There will be no more of this." ((Hey, she hasn't finished the song!)) Nakago looked up with his patent death glare. "You will move onto the next song. Miaka can not sing." Miaka squeeked indignatly with rage.
"Hey, I'm not the one who sang 'Blue Eyes Blue' Blondie!" ((Ok, ok . . .next, let's move on! Yeesh.)) Miaka pouted but jumped off stage and was comforted by Tamahome and his eight, seven, six, three and going . . .hotdogs. Yui, still humming the song stood and announced the next song.
"Speaking of Blue Eyes Blue, Nakago is next!" The room was dead silent as Nakago stood. Yui swallowed and continued. "But, um, he's only lip-synching, ok guys? He's going to sin- er, lip-synch The World is Not Enough . . .also by Garbage." Nakago gave Soi's shoulder a quick squeeze before he took the stage as she blinked and gave him a quizzical look.
I know how to hurt
Ashtare: (Growls)
Tamahome: THAT'S for sure!
Miaka: Hear! Hear!
I know how to heal
Misukake: For some reason I highly doubt that.
Chichiri: Yeah, I'm gonna second that doubt, no da?
I know what to show
And what to conceal
Yui:(Narrows eyes) Yeah, he always was a manipulative b%#*&^d!
Miboshishi: He is better covered then Soi . . .
Tomo: Unfortunately.
I know when to talk
Tasuki: Does he ever SHUT UP?
And I know when to touch
Soi: (Sighs happily) I can attest to that!
No-one ever die from wanting to much
Nuriko: Except Kuto's emperor . . .
Amiboshi: And Nakago . . .
Chiriko: The irony is amazing!
The world is not enough
Miaka: Yeah, just HAD to come to our world, didn't ya?
Tamahome: Now THAT was a fight.
Yui: Suboshi came too, you know.
Suboshi: (Gleefully)You remembered?
But it is such a perfect place to start my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart my love
Soi: (Eyes closed) I LOVE this song . . .
Tomo: (Muttering) Trifling whore! Seduce Nakago into (Trails off into incoherent rambling)
People like us
Know how to survive
Tasuki: What the f*&%k does that mean?
Suboshi: Hate to break it to you Tomo, but he ain't singing this to you!
Yui: He's right Tomo . . .and Miboshi . . .and Ashtare
Amiboshi: Don't forget Chiriko, Mitsukake and Nuriko!
Nuriko: Hey! His Highness also joins me!
Chiriko: (Shaking head) The irony . . .
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
Tamahome: Oh yeah, and iceman up there would know a whole LOT about feelings
Chiriko: Again, the irony, it's amazing!
Tasuki: You're one to talk, sounds like Miaka falls asleep plenty early! Ha ha!
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
Soi: (Smirking) That's for damn sure.
Yui: (To Suboshi) My, my, TWO lesson you need to learn!
Suboshi: (meekly) Yes, Lady Yui.
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will
Hotohori: I do believe Nakago would rather have Seiryu destroy the world then allow Suzaku to win.
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love
Tasuki: What's with this f#^#ing repetition?
Nuriko: Cool it Tasuki! Songs repeat! At least there hasn't been too much!
I feel sick
Mitsukake: Don't look at me.
I feel scared
All: (Stunned silence then laughter)
Suboshi: YEAH! The ICEMAN is SCARED!
Yui: This is great! (Claps Suboshi on the shoulder)
Suboshi: (Sighs happily) Yeah, it is . . .
Tasuki: (Laughing) Make sure you don't wet yourself tough guy!
Tamahome: What, he see Taiitsukun?
Chirchiri: Uh, Tamahome, only you're scared of Taiitsukun, no da?
I feel ready
And yet unprepared
Miboshi: And now he's contradicting himself?
Amiboshi: I can't imagine Nakago NOT having things planned out a few years in advance!
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love
Tamahome: Oh great . . . the new world rulers will be an iceman and a dominatrix (ZAP)
Soi: (Threateningly) Don't ruin my song money man!
Chichiri: Why would they take it apart?
Chiriko: Perhaps I would be allowed to study it's remains?
The world is not enough
The world is not enough
Miaka: Evidently not if you had to come to our world . . .
Yui: And mess it up pretty badly too.
