Wedding Drama
Hello! This is Nalanna (no... really) with the long been in progress Wedding Drama. It is in a sript form, as when i wrote abseloutly ages ago, i was lazy ;)and when i came back to it, i couldn't bring myself to change it... (Guess i still am lazy huh...)
I wrote it when I had first finished the manga, and i was at a loss as to what to fill my time with (that dark empty feeling haunts me still...) I like to think that I have come a long way scince then, but still, i hope you enjoy this, as it would mean a lot to my ego if you did. Read and Review please :)
Scene 1
(set in Shigure's house. First in the hall, then in the kitchen.)
Kyo: Oi! Damn Rat!
(Yuki sighs, turns around to face Kyo, look of disgust playing across his face)
Yuki: Stupid cat, what do you want?
Kyo: (automatically) Don't call me stupid
Yuki: (heavily provocative) S-t-u-p-i-d C-a-t
(Kyo clearly wrestles with his two instincts: kill Yuki, or get on with what he needs to do…)
Kyo: (sighs heavily, the latter having won.)
(Through gritted teeth, awkward) I need to ask you something-
(Interrupted by a loud shout from Shigure, in the Kitchen)
Shigure: WHAT! But I want to give Tohru away!
(Ayame shouts back)
Ayame: Well, dog, as I am far more beautiful, talented and charismatic than you, it is obvious that only three people can give Tohru away, two of whom are not present, so therefore I am the only option!
(Shigure folds his arms heavily across his chest, a sly look playing on his face)
Shigure: Don't you want to save yourself for Yuki's wedding?
Ayame: (flatly) Yuki- kun doesn't look like he is planning to go on bended knee to Machi-san any time soon. (Voice drops to a whisper) he is so pathetically shy I don't think he will ever work up the courage.
Shigure: Hmmm…
Tohru: (timidly) Err… I don't know what to say, you're both being so kind, but I don't know who I want to give me away yet and-
(Is interrupted by Yuki, who comes flying into the room, looking wildly shocked.)
Yuki: (aghast) You're getting married? Married?
Ayame: (Guiltily) Ahhh! Yuki, my dear brother, I wasn't saying anything terrible about your confidence issues! I swear it was all Shigure!
(Shigure chokes on his cigarette)
Yuki: (not paying any attention to Ayame.) Are you getting married?
Tohru: (brightly, smiling) Kyo-kun asked me last night! The ring was in a rice ball…
Yuki: (dumbfounded)…eh? Rice ball?
Ayame: Yuki-kun! In your opinion, don't you think that I would be the best person to give Tohru-kun away?
Yuki: (flatly) No.
Ayame: (deeply wounded) Yuki-kun! How could you be so cold? As your big and loving brother, you should side with me! Surely you are not in favour of letting that dog give her away?
Shigure: Ayame! That was a harsh thing to say-
Ayame: (irritated) bite me, wolfy! Owwwwww…
(Shigure did as he was told and bit Ayame in an unmentionable place)
(Shocked silence)
(Kyo enters, and sees Shigure hanging onto Ayame. He walks over to Tohru and covers her eyes.)
Kyo: (muttered) Sick bastards…
Tohru: (explanatory) Ah… Kyo-kun… they both want to give me away at our wedding, which is why they are fighting…I don't want them to fight Kyo-kun…
Kyo: (glaring at Shigure and Ayame) Well, neither of them can give you away, as Shishou is.
Ayame, Shigure: What? (Shigure is muffled because he is still holding onto Ayame.)
Kyo: (firmly) Shishou is giving Tohru away. (Turns to look at Yuki) And as for you, you damn rat-
Tohru: (timidly) Umm, Kyo-kun… Am I allowed to look yet?"
(Kyo stares meaningfully at Ayame and Shigure. Ayame takes the hint.)
Ayame: Ehh, Shigure… as much as it was most wonderful to have you hanging on to me for dear life, I think it is high time you let my kingly jewels go now… our little princess should not be exposed to such things.
(Shigure lets go, and grins at Kyo who looks murderous.)
(Kyo uncovers Tohru's eyes.)
Tohru: Would anyone like a cup of tea?
Shigure: Oh Tohru-kun, you are the answer to my dreams…
(Tohru prepares to make the tea)
How sad it is that you will be leaving us to serve that lump. (Gestures in Kyo's direction)
Kyo: Whaaa?
Ayame: (sulky) Shigure… you didn't have to bite me…
Shigure: (glad for an excuse to not elaborate to Kyo) Oh, Aya… I am so sorry… but you seemed to be enjoying it, which is the only reason that I prolonged our contact…
Yuki: (to himself) So vulgar…
Kyo: (loudly) Anyway… as I was saying before-
Ayame: How could you think that being bitten is an enjoyable experience?
Yuki: (desperately) Ni-san, please don't-
Shigure: (knowing the effect they will have if they continue with their conversation.) Well. You have never complained in the past!
Yuki: You are both-
Kyo: (even louder) As I was saying-
Ayame: (cottoning on, pseudo musingly) Well… you've never bitten quite that hard before…
Yuki: Ni-san, I don't think we need to hear any more-
Shigure: You complained that I never bit hard enough!
Tohru: (completely oblivious) Tea is ready…
Ayame: Well, yes. But that is because at the climax-
Yuki: (shouting) I really think that is enough!
(Throughout the entire exchange, Kyo has been getting redder and redder… finally he comes out with what he has been trying to say)
Kyo: (angrily) You damn rat! Be my best man!
(Shocked silence.)
(Yuki, too shocked to do anything else, slowly nods his head.)
(Kyo, looking self-satisfied, pecks Tohru on the cheek, and walks out of the room.)
(More silence)
Ayame: (faltering) Did…Did Kyonkonichi just…
Shigure: (stunned) I think he just…
Yuki: …
Tohru: …
Shigure: Oh well! (Turns to Tohru) Where is that tea?
Ayame: (equally recovered) Yes! (Claps hands) Tea!
(Tohru hands out the tea, smiling happily)
Tohru: (to herself) He actually did it… Oh Kyo-kun I am so happy…
Yuki: …
[scene 1: end
Well there you go! This fanfic has been a trip down memory lane for me... so anyway, I hope you liked it, and will read scene two... if i get enough reviews, I will post scene three. I am not sure how many scenes there will be, but there shouldn't be too many, and just to let you know in advance, I will not be writing up until the wedding, because that to me is a bit like too much hard work. hehehe
