Why Kurama looked so exhausted after his fight in the Dark Tournament Finals.

Director: Take 1 and….action!

"It's set it's sights on you, all your trembling must have caught it's attention."

Karasu dodges throughout the ring to avoid the Ojigi mouths from catching him. His attempts at destroying it thwarted.

"You'll have to find a way to kill it fast or else…" Youko places a finger to his head as like a gun. "Bang."

The demon plant captured the black demon.

(Off-stage) Director: And cue explosion. (waits) Um….where's the explosion?

(From inside Ojigi) Karasu: (muffled) A an't mk eh blode.

Kuwabara: What's he say?

Director: (sweat drops) He can't make it explode. Cut! Get him out of there and we'll try this again….

Director: Take 277, and……action!

"Now that's devastation. A significant portion of the ring has been completely wiped out. There's corpses everywhere and Kurama's nowhere to be seen."

As the smoke begins to clear an evil chuckle comes from the blonde demon in the ring.

Koto gasped as a bunch of rocks began to move, seemingly of it's own accord. They fell to reveal Kurama, still dressed in white . Everyone else just stared at him.

(Offstage)Director: Cut!!! He's not supposed to still be Youko. Someone get make-up out here!

Director: (sighs) Ok, take 1392. And action….!

Human form Kurama launches into the ring to attack the bomb-wielder. They maneuver back and forth through the ring. Karasu jumps and Kurama does too, swinging out a hand in attack and clips a few chunks of Karasu's hair off.

Both land and Karasu glares at the redhead. "How dare you cut my hair? Now my look is completely ruined."

"Blonde doesn't fit emo so you already didn't match."

"Make fun of my style? Now you will die…." And Karasu runs forward to attack Kurama who dodges and runs off screen. He is soon followed.

(Offstage)Director: Cut….. And try to keep those two from killing each other off-screen…..

Director: Alright, the flower's in place. Karasu, you stay hidden this time. Crowd is silent. Let's try to finish this some time this year!(angry) Take 2689, and action.

The arena is silent as every being stares down at the ring. Besides the fish girl there is only a large flower and what seems to be only a body.

"His life…" On the sidelines to the ring Yuusuke and Kuwabara each speak worriedly. "It's fading…

Dead silence.

"Oh Kurama, please get up." Botan cries, causing small debate among the girls, ending with Keiko. "Please…wake up."

Back to the ring. The Urameshi team fighter still lies facedown, unmoving.

(Offstage)Director: (whispering) We might actually get a good scene finally.

A finger twitch. The redhead opens his eyes and slowly starts to get up. But instead of standing he falls back to the ground with a sigh of annoyance. "My arm's asleep."

Yuusuke runs into ring to help him up, then off the stage.

(Offstage)Director: That's it, I give up. I quit! I'm outta here…..

Rest of crew: (all laugh, expect Hiei who has managed to vanish)

Kuwabara: We were wondering how long you would put up with all of us……

Koenma: I told you all, now pay up! (all moan)

Yuusuke: (gives director a dirty look) Couldn't you have given up back at like try two…..?

Director: (glares at all of them)

Kurama: No, really. My arm feel asleep out there. And I still can't feel it….

(All laugh again)

Yeah…… Way out of character a lot of the time but that's ok because those really are their "characters" in this……

Read and review please!
