Sleeping Aki
Scene 1: the palace
Once upon a time, not so far far away, in the kingdom of Go, there lived a King and a Queen. The King wanted a son to rule the Kingdom after he died. On the other hand, the queen wanted a daughter to dress up and talk to.
On a cold December night, little Akira was born. The king was very happy to see that he had a boy. The queen was also very happy, even though she didn't have a daughter. The night after Akira was born, the king sent invitations to 4 of the 5 best Go Fairies in the kingdom: Kurata, Ogata, Shusaaku, and Fujiwara. The king took out 4 golden plates, 4 golden forks, 4 golden knives....and so on, for each of these fairies.
After dining, Kurata stood up and announced, "I will bless prince Touya. He will have the best voice that can sing birds to sleep." He then puts a white Go stone on Akira's pillow.
"Er...Kurata-san, Akira is a boy." King Touya is getting pretty worried.
"What? Oh...that was in the script, not allowed to change lines." Kurata smiled and nodded non-stop, which was pretty scary since he had his second chin flying up and down.
"Stupid author..." mumbled the King.
(what was that again?)
"Er...nothing...."
"Who are you talking to?" asked the queen.
"Didn't you hear anyone?"
"No."
"Oh well, nevermind then."
"I, the mighty Ogata," (he got a few glares, especially from Sai and Torajirou) "Say that Prince Touya will have hair as soft as silk."
The king fainted.
"I, the second mightiest Shusaaku," Ogata nodded, thinking that Shusaaaku agrees with him being first, "give Touya eyes that can burn a candle and amazing Go playing abilities."
The king smiled, "cool, no need to buy heaters in the palace."
"NOT LITERALLY!"
"I, the almighty Fujiwara no Sai," Shusaaku nodded, Kurata nodded, the king nodded, Ogata looked confused, "bless Touya Akira with --"
BANG! MUAHAHAHA! CACKLE, COUGH, CACKLE! "You people didn't even invite me!" cackled the evil fairy Kuwabara, even though his face was scowling.
"I only have 4 sets of golden cutleries."
"You could have invited me instead of that – that – Kurata thing."
"You called me WHAT?!"
"I curse Touya Akira." continued Kuwabara, ignoring Kurata.
"Hello? What about me?" Kurata waved his arms frantically in the air. Everyone continued to ignore him.
"He will die at the age of 16, hit in the head by a Goban!" with that, Kuwabara disappeared in a puff of smoke, green and pink smoke.
"Ew...talk about bad tastes." That's Kurata.
The queen is crying, the king is comforting her, Kurata is studying the smoke, Ogata is looking at Akira, Fujiwara and Shusaaku are looking thoughtful.
"Okay, my blessing is that Touya will not die, he will just be knocked out, sleeping until some one wakes him up."
--behind the scenes--
Sai: Phew...that was tiring, I had to act all serious and thoughtful OUTSIDE of a Goban!!
Akiko: Akira! Where are you? Come out, you're on next!
Minty: Yes you are... prepare to be amazed
Akira: I am NOT coming out! I'm a BOY! What the hell have you done to me?! Why the hell am I wearing this costume??
Minty: Oh well, too bad, have you seen Syaoran from Card Captor Sakura though?
Akira: ....i can never win you can I? Fine...who's the "savior"?
Minty: hehe...[smiles evilly] that! [points at "AkiHika" sign at the top of the fic]
Akira: [blushes] No...not him...ANYONE but him!! AHH!!!
Minty: [turns to audience] see how he reacts to Hikaru? That's why we have to put him to sleep!
Hikaru: [confused, innocent face stuffed with ramen] what? I'm the savior?
Minty: Nevermind...[walks off stage]
