Akira's New And Improved Singled Out Dating
Game Grand Anime Anniversary
(The second part
of a fanfic trilogy)
The crowd is waiting
anxiously and noisily. The backstage is a complete mess of cables and wires.
The contestants are still in their designated rooms. Our hosts are getting
ready in the powder room. The assistant hosts are in their angel costumes. It's
only 15 minutes before the show starts. I, Akira, am the director of this show
and am already pooped even the show hasn't begun yet. I scurry over to my
friend Haru who is way to my left, beyond the cables and other cameras to the
corner.
"Haru!" I call to
her. "Yes, Akira?" she looks at me and an expression of concern fills her face.
"What's the matter? Are you all right? You look as if you're going to
collapse!" she tells me. "No, it's okay. I'll be all right once we get this
show on the roll. Could you do me a favor and call Wufei from his room and lead
him to the door where the contestants will be coming from? The show's gonna
start in 15 mins." "Sure thing," she replies and rushes off. I go back to my
place and get some other things clarified.
Meanwhile, in the
Gundam peeps room…
"Poor Wufei
resorting to enter a dating contest just to get a date. Tsk tsk," Duo scoffed,
playing with Heero's spiky hair as he was sitting on his lap. "Get off me Duo!"
Heero tried protesting.
"You watch your
mouth! It wasn't my fault I had to be the one without a partner! It's so
unfair! I should be having you instead!" he yelled, pushing Duo off Heero's
lap. "Hey! Well, it wasn't my fault either that you're just damn too slow in
taking me!" Duo yelled.
"I guess we're
just lucky,"Quatre says with a pitiful look for Wufei. "Or perhaps just damn
sexy," Trowa continues still in his glum natural expression. "Right!" Duo and
Quatre say at the same time and Duo pulls Heero off the chair and onto the
floor as he began to *work* the former's neck.
"HEY! DON"T DO IT
HERE!" Wufei shouts furiously as Quatre and Trowa laugh and engage themselves
in a deep passionate kiss until a knock had interrupted the two couples. "I'll
get it," Trowa offers and walks to the door.
He opens the door
and finds a girl in a brown jumper skirt with a cream-colored t-shirt
underneath. "Hello," she says. "I'm Haru, you're perfect wife!" she cries and
clings to Trowa. Quatre glares at her as his fists clasp tightly. Trowa smiles
and slightly blushes. "I'm flattered, Ms. Haru but I already have a perfect
husband." "Oh well…at least I tried…," Haru says and sighs. "Wufei, you better
come with me and I'll show you where you're going to enter the stage from.
While you other gundam pilots should go to your special seats before the
audience's." The others nod as they all leave the room.
All the contestants for the
show are at their proper places. The hosts and their assistants are in their
spots. The show will start in about five minutes. I hurry to the stage, which
is still covered by the curtain, and walk to the date-seeker of this dating
game. "Anou…sumimasen…," I say. "Yes?" he turns to me with a smile and deep
emeralds as he unconsciously runs his fingers through his flaming red hair.
"The show will start in a few minutes, Kurama-san." "Thank you for informing
me," he replied as his smile turns from natural and innocent to wide and sly…
eheheehee… I wonder if he notices it…he looks kinda weird that way… "It's a
pleasure," I tell him. Perhaps he has noticed my uneasiness.
"Is there something else
you want to tell me?" he asks, still with that smile. I 'm not really sure if I should hate that smile or adore it…
Anyway. "Well, you see, the, um, the contestants, um are, um are mostly males."
He face-faulted and sighed. "Great!" "Nani?" I asked. "Um, I mean…that's fine…"
he stammered, blushing. "And I wouldn't mind a challenge," he mumbled with an
I'm-up-to-something smile. "Perfect," I smiled at once, "I just thought you
should know." After that, I immediately rushed to my seat.
"Okay everyone! I
need some silence! We start in five…four…three…two…one…action!" The curtain is
raised up and lights are on and focused. The show is on the roll!
"Good day minna-san!"
Hotohori and Nuriko greeted the audience in unison and the crowd roared.
"Welcome to the Grand Anniversary of Akira's New and Improved Singled Out
Dating Game!" Nuriko said, and after which tried catching her breath. "Why
Nuriko dear, are you alright?" Hotohori asked as he put a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine Hotohori," she answered, pulling his arm, laughing
incredibly. Everyone SD.
"WHY YOU! LEMME at HIM! LEMME at HIM!" a familiar voice yelled
from backstage…obviously of the one who had an almost orange hair. "HEY! Would
you two get on with the show!" an angry crewmember yells, Hanako.
"Oops! Sorry!" Nuriko
stated and got back on her feet. "So anyway! What you've all been waiting for!
Let the contestants out!" Hotohori commanded. And from the door to the left of
the stage, the contestants came out.
The audience cheered
wildly. The contestants came out with
their designated sticker numbers on their shirts.
1)Wufei 2)Ken 3)Yohji
4)Karasu 5)Sanosuke 6)Hiei
7)Tamahome 8)Tasuki 9)Haruka 10)Kenshin
"CHE….I shouldn't be here…I
already like someone….IF YOU WEREN'T AN EMPERGRHHGBDU!ZCSAEK!" Tasuki bawled
but Tamahome covered his mouth and shut him up just in time…before Tasuki could
insult and humiliate the emperor and cost him his life.
A light is focused on a big
red heart that is covering the date-seeker from the audience and contestants'
view.
"Well, uh, I guess the
contestants are supporters of uh, our types," Nuriko said, quite hesitant,
glancing over the director to check if the Parental Guidance sign on screen is
on. The director nodded and so he sighed in relief.
"Um, excuse me, ms. But
what do you mean by your types?" a soft, naïve voice from one of the
contestants asked. Nuriko fumed in anger. She clenched her fists tightly and
took a deep breath then… "You ignorant bastard! I'm so flattered. I'm not a
MS.! Well, at least not fully at other parts…" she yelled furiously then
laughed hysterically having been deceived this ignorant man. "There, there
dear…"Hotohori-sama tried to compensate.
"Hey! You better watch your
words! There are some minors in the audience all right!" an anonymous person
from the crowd yelled.
"Well if you're so worried,
why'd you bring him here?!!!" Duo then bawled from his seat at the front row.
"This was supposedly a
Decent show!" the man yelled again.
"Then get the hell out of
here!!!" Duo yelled back. Suddenly he was pulled back to his seat by Heero.
"Shut up, Duo. You have such a big mouth!" Heero growled and glared at his
partner in calls for mission and in *calls of the night*. "I know. Don't you
just love it?!" Duo exclaimed. "Shut up or I'll kill you myself!" "Hehe. You
really love me." Heero just kept silent, SD and defeated.
"So anyway. We best get on
with the show," Hotohori stated.
"UM, excuse me, you other
ms. with the microphone but what does your partner mean that we are your
types?" Kenshin asked once more. The audience face-faulted. "Really Kenshin,
you are so naïve!" Sanosuke called from his post.
"For YOUR information, I am
NO MS. But I do admit I AM beautiful," he laughed vainly. "And second of all,
what Nuriko here means is that somehow things got mixed up and our date-seeker
is not a female which makes you contestants, well, you know," Hotohori
clarified. The crowd cheered this time even wilder.
"Phew! What a relief,"
Tasuki muttered to himself. Tasuki hates women.
"Goodness! Look how lively
our audience is! Women haters!" Yohji shouted then later on shrugged.
"Hey Sano! You and Kenshin
are the best! How could you turn on each other after such a splendid night?!"
someone from the crowd called.
Kenshin blushed and
remained silent, hoping to maintain the peace. "What the HELL are you talking
about?! Who said that?! Come down and you'll get to know my fist!" Sano growled
heavily, waiving his fists in the air.
"Everyone please settle
down now and we shall begin the first round," Nuriko said nicely in her
feminine voice.
"Don't pretend you don't
know what I'm talking about, Sano! I know what you did last summer…or was it
winter…anyway, I know what you did to Kenshin! Don't deny it!" that someone
from the crowd yelled again. The other audience laughed while the others
face-faulted.
"You come down from there!
I'm warning you!"Sano yelled yet again. "Sano, careful," Kenshin warned.
"Grrrr…." Nuriko shivered
in fury. "They don't seem to know that we're the hosts of this show. They don't
even notice me," she cried. "There,there. It's okay. Of course they notice you.
Of course they know we're the hosts of this how. Those who don't notice how
beautiful we are are undoubtedly blind!" Hotohori comforted offering a
handkerchief to Nuriko. After the wipe.
"Damnit! I said, you two
shut up and we're going to begin the show!!!!!" she yelled. And a table went
flying across the studio and onto that noisy someone from the crowd. "There!
That's more like it," Nuriko smiled, proud of her strength. And the injured
someone was their example so the audience finally settled down.
"Now, since our contestants
are very special ones, we have hooked up a voice synthesizer so that our date-seeker
won't recognize the contestants' voices. Also, the contestants containing
incredible power have been warded. We shall be calling the contestants by the
number so that our date-seeker won't know who it is. Our date-seeker shall be
called with a use of the code name Lust," Nuriko explained to the audience. The
crowd applauded, cheered, screamed at the top of their lungs in approval.
"But before that, we'd like
to call our assistant hosts, our very own angels, Umi and Hikaru!" Hotohori
called. The crowd cheered noisily as the two went on stage in their angel
costumes. They wore a fluffy cotton short-sleeve red-and-white top and
mini-skirt with matching boots. "I can't believe what we're wearing! It isn't
Christmas yet and look at us!" Umi whispered at Hikaru. "Well, it ain't that
bad," Hikaru whispered back. "By the way, only our audience know who the
date-seeker is," Nuriko informed the contestants. The Kurama-fans cheered whom
our very own Haru momentarily hushed.
"So now, minna-san! Round
1!" Hotohori and Nuriko called enthusiastically in unison and the audience
cheered and finally stopped as Hanako from below the audience signaled them to
shush.
Umi and Hikaru stationed
themselves before the line-up of contestants while Hotohori and Nuriko were beside
our date-seeker Lust (Kurama).
"Contestants, introduce
yourselves first to Lust!" Nuriko said, "Let's start with #1!"
"I'm contestant number one.
I'm a warrior and I have a sense of mission. Once I know you're an enemy, I'd
kill you then and there," he said in a dead serious tone and glared at the
angel with blue hair holding the microphone for him. A shiver ran down Umi's
spine and at once she hopped on beside the next contestant as some in the
audience cheered while other non-gwing fans just sweatdropped.
"Hi. I'm contestant number
two. Anou…I work at a flower shop and I like riding motorcycles. I too have a
sense of mission," Ken answered. 'Damn, that Yohji! I should never have allowed
him to dare me into joining this cursed contest!' his mind furiously protested
in going on with the contest although there was no way to back out now.
'Besides, Aya's better than any male or female.' Surprisingly, the audience
were just silent…more like bored… while Umi enjoyed his decent and safe reply.
"On to the next
contestant!" Hotohori called.
"Hello. I'm #3. I'm the prince charming you've been looking for
all your life and I like going
out on a hot date a lot,"
Yohji answered, running his fingers through his hair. The audience was
just…well…NR. Umi then went on to the fourth contestant and held the mic for
him…or was it her. "Geez, you are so confusing!" Umi muttered to herself.
"I'm #4. I'm what you
always dreamed of. When you're with me, there'll never be rest from-" "Hold
that thought please!!!! Umi cried. "This is so ecchi!" Hikaru complained as she
sweatdropped. "NO ONE told us it's going to be like THIS!" Umi grumbled. "It
wasn't in the contract!!!" Hikaru followed. "Aw, you two just shut up and enjoy
the show!" a man from the audience yelled. "Continue, #4,"Hotohori said.
"There'll never be rest from now 'til forever of &@#%$*." Even with that
mask over his mouth, his words still seemed to be clear. The crowd clapped
enthusiastically while others screamed. He smiled to himself yet somehow, Hiei
has known that and glared at the former.
"I'm #5. I've got a lotta
guts and spunk hidden in my-" "NO! Please, I don't want to hear it!!!" Umi
screamed. "Heh. Don't ya worry, ms. I'm
not like these other fellas. I've got it all in my-" "Christ have mercy! I'm too
young for this!" Hikaru prayed silently as she and Umi tried to cover their
ears hoping not to hear but nonetheless with the sound system they've got, who
wouldn't? "What? Fine! All I'm gonna say is you don't need dreams coz it's all
here in my body!" Sano answered defensively. Umi and Hikaru sighed in relief.
"Okay, next! #6, it's your
turn!" Nuriko called out. Hikaru then went over to short dark bratty
contestant.
'Hn. They obviously don't
know who the date-seeker is! Well, except for Karasu. And with him in the
contest, it's not going to look good. He can't win. Kurama, look what you
stupid fox have put yourself into…'
"#6!!! What are you,
deaf?!!! Nuriko angrily called out the number for the nth time. "Contestant
number six, please introduce yourself," Hotohori calmly called out. "Calm down,
Nuriko." "Grrr…"
"Huh? Oh. #6." Hiei finally
responded, only now that he was able to hear himself being called since he was
in deep thought. "Uh, uh,…" a few seconds of thinking and nothing… "Uh,
*grumble, mutter curses, grumble*, uh, uh…" after a few more minutes of
grumbling and muttering.
"All right! That's enough!
Onto the next contestant!"Hotohori said. Everyone SD. "Hn."
'Who could that contestant
be… Hiei? Nah, couldn't be. Besides, if I know him, and I do, he'd probably be
in Makai F%$&# Mukuro. Damn him!…' Kurama thought.
"#7. I'm someone you can be
sure will not leave you no matter what," Tamahome replied dully. 'Heh, looks
like I've gotta beat Tasuki in the bet. I just hope Miaka wont ever know that I
did this…Miaka…Miaka…'Hikaru went over to the fanged contestant and held the
mic for him. "Your turn #8!" Hikaru cheered.
Tasuki nodded. "#8 at your
service. Geez, you don't know how relieved I am that you're a not a girl!" he
first stated. Everyone SD while Kurama almost fell over. Tasuki glared at
Tamahome. 'Darn it! I'm gonna beat Tamahome and get the prize money and sell
the prize car. Kouji and the others could use some money just about now…' "I
can burn up things and have got a lot of heat in me," Tasuki replied with a
smirk at Tama.
'Hiei…Damnit! After all
these times, I still keep thinking of him! But #8 couldn't be Hiei. Hiei
doesn't speak too much. Although, he could be 'coz Hiei brags a lot esp. to
Kuwabara and the way he says something about his power…burning up things…so
Hiei-like…'
"#9 I love vehicles and
motor-racing. I like to be as fast, if not, faster than the wind is. It's my
passion. It's what keeps me cool," Haruka introduced. From the front row,
Michiru had been muttering about how Haruka was so honest and frank in
answering. "Must be because the date-seeker turned out to be a boy when she was
expecting a girl. Silly her. If not only for wanting that prize car…I would
have never allowed her to join this contest. We would still be…" she told to
herself.
"And the final contestant,
#10! Please introduce yourself!" Hotohori called.
"Uh, #10. I may have done
things in the past that are unforgivable. My best ally is my sword. But it's
not only used to kill people but also to save and protect the ones I care for,"
Kenshin replied. Kenshin fans among the audience clapped rewardingly while the
other contestants and the hosts just sighed. "Geez, who do you think he
introduced, himself or his sword?!" Nuriko whispered to his majesty SD.
"Really…I thought they
could introduce themselves better than that…it's so boring!" Akira, the
director whispered to Hanako who was assisting her.
"Okay! Now that they've
introduced themselves, Lust, are you ready for round 1?" Nuriko asked. Kurama
nodded.
"Well, it seems that our
contestants are also ready! Minna-san, Round 1!" Hotohori acknowledged.
"All right! Lust here has
prepared a question for round 1! Lust, read the question for our anxious
contestants, please," Nuriko asked, fanning herself with her own set of cue
cards. Kurama nodded. And checked his card.
"Okay, contestants. I'm
Lust. Your question for round 1 is: If we were to have a night out, where would
you take me?" Kurama read the question aloud.
"Contestants, got that?"
Nuriko asked. They nodded. "Good. So now, we'll start the answering from
contestant #10 down to #1." Umi and Hikaru nodded to the bishounen emperor at
their cue. Hikaru went over to Kenshin.
"I guess, I'd take you this
really nice spot down the river in Tokyo. The fireflies that appear there are
really nice. It's very peaceful and comforting there." Everyone SD. "Hey, don't
you think that after all these years, that river's probably gone by now?!" an
anonymous man from the audience questioned.
"Well, if you come to the
Tokyo in the studio of RK, it'd still be there," Kenshin replied.
"That's that. Next
contestant," Nuriko called, SD.
"I'd take you to this fancy
restaurant then to Tokyo Tower. Then after that, we'd take a ride through the
night and pick up from there," Haruka answered. 'Heh, what I usually do with
Michiru.'
Hikaru then went over to
the fanged contestant. "Your turn," she said in almost a chirp.
"I would take you to
somewhere where we could-" Tasuki began with a sly smile on his face. "That's
enough!" Hikaru snapped. "Yeah! It's already understood! Don't say another
word, please!" Umi begged. The audience went wild. "Sheesh, you don't have to
be so sensitive!" Tasuki complained. "I love you Ta-I mean, #8!!! Bite me!!!" an obvious unknown male had
called out from the audience. "Heh. Shuttup or I'll burn you with my holy
flame!" Tasuki yelled. Other Tasuki-fans screamed 'way to go' and jumped up and
down on their seats. "Besides," Tasuki continued, "you're not my type. Nuriko
has better looks than that."
The Tasuki-fans fell over.
Kurama, behind the big red heart began giggling. Surely, it has been along time
since he had a good real laugh. And the emperor and Nuriko joined him. "You
have got to excuse him," Hotohori said to Kurama. "He a friend of yours?"
Kurama asked with a chuckle. "I guess you could say that," he replied. "Now
that I think of it," Hotohori began again, his face more serious and promising
for a member of a royal family. "What is it, your majesty?" Nuriko asked with a
hint of concern in her sweet feminine tone.
The audience was silent and
so were the contestants, giving authority to Hotohori, carefully listening to
what he has to say. "I wouldn't think it was possible that there could be
another man as beautiful as I and Nuriko are," his majesty continued. Everyone
SD while Kurama almost fully slipped right out of his chair. 'My,' Kurama
thought, 'how vain can one person get?' At the same time, all Hiei and Karasu
could give was a grunt and a sinister look for only they knew who the man behind
the heart was.
"Hey! Could we please get
on with the show!" someone from the audience, a female from the way her voice
sounds, called out demandingly.
"Eh? She's right!" Nuriko
remembered, agreeing and getting back on her feet. "#7, please answer the
question."
"Hmm…Where would I take
you…Gee…Hmm…" The audience was getting more and more anxious, esp. the
Tamahome-fans. "I'd take you…That's a tough question! Who thought of that,
Chiriko or Taiitsu-kun?" All the Suzaku Seishii present tumbled. "I guess…" he
began. "Hurry up and answer you nitwit! We haven't got all day!" Nuriko roared,
knowing it was Tamahome. "All right! All right! Hmm… I guess…" Obviously,
Hikaru wasn't getting any patient. "Just answer the question you dumb-ass or
I'll get Lantis and let him beat the he-^&$%#$%)" Hikaru complained.
Fortunately, Umi was there to cover her mouth up or she would have another
contract to sign with a homo show as penalty. "Phew! That was a close one!
Thanks, Umi!" Umi just sighed in relief. Of course, she was in this too.
"I guess…,"Tamahome began
once more. "I got it!" Everyone's frown, anger and boredom suddenly changed
into curious smiles. "I'll take you someplace nice and cozy!!!"Tamahome said,
with absolute laughter for having answered the question right. SD "Is that all
you're gonna say after making us wait for so long?!!!!" Nuriko growled. "Well,
wha'd ya expect?! I'm not a valedictorian you know!" "Grrr…." "Nuriko dear,"
his majesty called. "Yes, Hotohori-kun?" Nuriko looked up to him starry-eyed.
"Watch your blood pressure, honey."
"Okay," she replied like a
puppy being asked to fetch the stick. (Sorry, all you Nuriko addicts. I do like
Nuriko. Sorry for the choice of words. ^_^,) "Anyway, next contestant. #6. Your
answer please," Hotohori requested.
"Hn." Hiei grinned and shot
a stabbing glare at Karasu who didn't seem affected. "That's easy. I'd just take you. I'll take you all the way." A
simple, straight and honest answer from our fire demon. The crowd rocked wild,
others at the back started to strip. "Take me too! Take me too!!!" they yelled.
Hikaru turned blue obviously taking this better than Umi was who was on her
knees, green with disgust. "Eeeewww…" Umi cried out. "Why won't someone come
and take us out of this?! Why won't someone save the purity of our minds?!!!
She looked up to her friend, Hikaru who, might I add, looked fine. "How come
you seem okay even though we're going through this?" "Well, I guess we have to
get use to this at some point," Hikaru replied. "Awwww…I think I'm going to
puke." At that instant, Hiei gave her a sharp devouring look. "Uh, hehehe, I
was, ano, just kiddin', hehehe" Umi said in almost a plea and stood up. "Hn."
"Hey, blue-haired miss. Get over here," Sano
called. Umi looked up to the tall man with brown hair and a red bandana on his
forehead. "It's my turn." "Oh, yeah." She then went over to Sano and held the
mic for him. "I'd take you to this neat restaurant." Everybody sweatdropped.
"Boy, he's a smart one," Nuriko commented.
"Next contestant, please,"
Hotohori requested. Umi hopped over to Karasu, the contestant confusing her and
brought the mic closer to him. Before answering, He shot Hiei menacing defiant
stare and a threatening smirk.
"#4. I'd tie you up and
lock you in the dungeon…" Karasu began, still with that look on Hiei. Hiei
returned it equally. "…of my love," Karasu continued. Karasu-Kurama fans
screamed with excitement. "Way to go! He'll love that!" Duo remarked with a
peck on the cheek for Heero. "I'd whip and lash your whole body with my
kisses." SD (^_^There's Karasu for you.) Kurama, however, seemed to be a bit
onto it. He thought it could be Karasu but then put the thought aside since he
had been reassured that he had already killed this sadistic character. He did
think of this contestant as exciting and inviting. #4. He would remember that
number.
"#3 here. I say, we'll
starve ourselves for the whole day in preparation for dinner," Yohji replied.
"Awww…" Umi gave a cry that almost sounded like a shriek, clutching her stomach
with her right hand while her left covered her mouth. "I don't think I'm going
to last 'til the third round," she told Hikaru. Hikaru on the other hand didn't
react. Umi, wondering looked up to her friend, only to find really big and
thing earmuffs on her. "What?!!! You are so unfair!!! Give me one of those!!!"
Hikaru just stuck her tongue out. "Why you….??!!!!!" "Hey, miss. I'm not
through answering yet!" Yohji shouted. "No! You're through! Please!" "Umi, if
you don't let him finish, you know what'll happen to our contract," Hikaru
advised. "Eeeewww…" Umi held up the mic for Yohji. "I'd take you home and we
could tuck you in bed together," Yohji replied. "ARGH!!! Ecchi!!!! SOOOOO
ECCHI!!!! I can't stand this!" Umi complained more. The audience applauded,
screamed, jumped up and down…and others stripped.
Nuriko eyed the director
with a are-you-sure-the-parental-guidance-sign-is-on look. The director nodded.
He sighed, still quite uncertain. "Okay. #2. Your turn," Hotohori acknowledged.
'What has gone wrong with Yohji's
mind?…I shouldn't be asking. His existence is already a big mistake!' Ken
thought. "Nn? Oh. #2 I'd take you…on a date, I guess…" Ken answered. 'I'm not
good at this,' he thought. 'I'm better at acting on things than saying them…
I'll lose for sure. Damn that Yohji!!!' SD everyone.
"Another smart one in the
contestants panel," Nuriko whispered to Hotohori while his majesty just nodded,
the two of them with really big sweatdrops.
"#1. I'll take you to this
S&M place in California courtesy of Quatre," he answered. Umi fainted.
Hikaru rushed to her. "Umi! Umi! Wake up! Wake up!' Umi won't wake up. "If you
don't get back on your feet, I'm calling for Mokona," Hikaru blackmailed. At
once, the used-to-be-so-cheery-now-green-with-disgust blue-haired girl was up
on her feet. The crowd went wild again and an additional number of males
started to strip. Fortunately, the director was cautious enough not to show the
audience in television.
"Well, minna-san! That ends
our first round!" Nuriko concluded. "Lust, please tell us the number, if not
the answer of the contestant which you do not wish to keep," Hotohori told
Kurama. Kurama nodded. He ran his fingers through his flaming mane. "Well,
Hotohori-kun, I guess I won't keep #'s 2, 5, 7 and 10." "You sure about that?"
Hotohori asked, reassuring. "Yeah." "Good memory!" Nuriko clapped. "Well, you
heard the man, 2,5,7 and 10, you're out!!! Ahahahaha!!!" Nuriko called out
loud. Ken immediately exited. Tamahome followed disappointed. Sano and Kenshin
were glad to leave but quite afraid since they promised Kaoru they'd work and
get some money but failed. "I told you we should've tried out for a decent job,
Sano." "All right, Kenshin! You don't have to rub it in! I got the point. Let's
go."
"Let's give a round of
applause for the four contestants who tried their luck!" Hotohori suggested, he
himself clapping along with Nuriko and Kurama even when holding their cards.
"Minna-san!" Nuriko and
Hotohori called as they clasped each other's hand then together shouted, "Round
2!"
"Now for Round 2, we have
three questions prepared, of course, by Lust. And after each question, one
contestant will be eliminated," Nuriko explained to the audience and the
contestants. "Right! The last three remaining contestants will compete for the
final round!" Hotohori continued. "Lust, are you ready?" Nuriko asked. Kurama
nodded. "Contestants, are we ready?" Hotohori then asked. "Yes!" they all
yelled. "Then, Lust, ask your first question!" Nuriko implied.
"All right, contestants, listen up," Kurama said with a warm
smile, obviously marking his excitement. "Well, since I love flowers, if you
were to offer me one, what flower would you give me and why?" Kurama read his
card of questions. "Okay. I think everyone got that. With which contestant would
you wanna hear from first?" Hotohori inquired. "Hmm…I guess, I'll start with
#9." "#9 please answer the question first then we'll do it in descending
order," Nuriko requested.
"#9. I guess, I'd give you
a pansy because it speaks of you as someone very special," Haruka replied.
Really, she thought of the contest as boring, especially when Michiru wasn't
with her in it. They always entered couple contests, fooling everyone about her
real gender, having a number of female fans too.
Hikaru then stepped near
the next contestant. "#8. Che, what makes you think I'll give you any flower?!"
Tasuki bolted. Everyone was shocked most especially Kurama however, being his
calm and rational self, no one would have guessed. "I'd give you jewelry
instead, a necklace, a bracelet or perhaps an earring," Tasuki continued.
Kurama wasn't disappointed at all. The audience applauded, giving regards to
his good reply.
"All right! Next
contestant, #6," Nuriko called, evidently not a very talkative person, not even
bothering to reply right away. "#6. I'd give you a red rose," Hiei, as always, curtly replied. "because that's what
I compare you to," that one was answered honestly by the Koorime. "Awww…." The
audience, especially the Kurama-Hiei fans said with some applause. While others
groaned. For them, it was just a bit sappy. Of course, Kurama was flattered.
How come that contestant knew…but then he thought it could have been obvious.
Umi then went over to Karasu.
"#4. I wouldn't offer you
any flower. What's a flower when you've got me?" Karasu candidly answered.
Everyone cheered. "Well, we couldn't agree more, right Hotohori?" Nuriko asked,
snuggling up to the bishounen emperor. "CURSE YOU!!!! ONCE THIS SHOW IS OVER,
I'LL HGSTAENXKKXQWYZTER YOU!" Tasuki shouted once more, furious with how
Hotohori has been attracting Nuriko. Sure, Nuriko did like Hotohori at
first…but Nuriko's his as he believes. "Right!" Umi and Hikaru however were
just silent. So far, the contestants' reply weren't that ecchi, and what a
great relief it has given them. Umi then held up the mic for Yohji.
"#3. I'd give you a water
lily because I'd treat you like one, soft and delicate," Yohji replied. NR
"#1. I wouldn't give you a
flower cause I don't have one, ain't that obvious?!" Wufei answered. Everyone
rocked with laughter, even Kurama. #1, to him, was quite intriguing.
"So there you have it.
Lust, which contestant would you want to eliminate?" Hotohori asked. Kurama
gave an in-deep-thought expression. "Sorry, #3, but you're out. *It* wont be
much fun when you're gentle," Kurama answered, blushing. Umi and Hikaru
oversized sweatdrops. "Umi, kindly lead #3 out," Nuriko said. 'Oh well, I guess
I'm stuck in competing with Ken for Aya. Omi's not that professional yet,
although I wouldn't mind *teaching* him tonight. As they say, practice makes
perfect.'
"Next question!" Hotohori
called out to Kurama. "Right. Question number two. Almost everyone says what a
bishounen I am, which is true," Kurama started. SD "Looks like Hotohori and
Nuriko aren't the only one vain around here," Umi whispered to Hikaru who just
nodded.
"Tell me what you think is
your sexiest body part. #9, please start."
"Well, I guess my sexiest
body part would be chest," Haruka replied, slightly blushing. Well, it is in
fact, that she is a woman in body. Hikaru went over to Tasuki.
"#8 here. Heh. That's a
cinch. My sexiest body part is my fangs," He replied and ended with a gorgeous
fang-smile on his face. The audience cheered wildly. The Suzaku Star-seishi
present laughed ridiculously. "Well, I must admit. He does know what he's
talking about," Nuriko whispered to Hotohori, giggling. The emperor nodded, his
hand over his mouth in a suppressed laugh. Umi brought up her feet the best she could to Hiei who she considered a
threat to her young-supposedly-pure-but-not-anymore mind. "Next contestant,
please," Hotohori called.
"#6. Hn. Everything about
me is sexy. Anything about me can turn you on, Lust. It always has, it always
will," Hiei responded with a sly grin on his face, and then a staggering glare
over to Karasu. Others, especially Nuriko, Hotohori, Tasuki, Haruka and Wufei
went SD while the Hiei-fans screamed and shout, and still, others got
starry-eyed over him. "Next contestant please," Nuriko requested.
"#4. I'd say the sexiest body part I have would be my eyes,"
Karasu answered. A small fraction of the audience shouted their approval. "And
the last contestant, please answer the question," Nuriko stated, her fingers
playing with her long purple braid.
"#1. My sexiest body part
would be hands. They're sure to turn you on anytime," Wufei replied smartly and
confidently. Everyone at the back who most likely were the ones stripping
moments ago yelled 'that's what we need baby'. So the lower part of the
audience turned SD.
"Get a life!" Umi screamed
at the top of her voice while Hikaru fell over. Surely, Hikaru can take this
ecchiness a whole lot better than Umi.
"So minna-san. It's time
again to eliminate another unlucky contestant. Lust, who will it be?" Nuriko
notified.
"Well, it's kinda difficult
to eliminate any one of them because I like all their answers. But since it's a
must… I'm sorry, #9, but you gotta go." "Well, #9. It was nice having you,"
Hotohori addressed. "Minna-san, let's give him a round of applause," Nuriko
encouraged. Well, Michiru was glad it was over. But unfortunately for Haruka,
she didn't get the prize car. "And now," his majesty began, "for the final
question that will decided who the top three contestants will be competing for
the final round!" The crowd applauded.
"Okay. The final question
would be: What do you think matters most in a relationship?" "Well, what the
hell do you think?!" an anonymous guy from way back of the audience started
yelling. "Do they have to spell it out for you?!" Everyone SD. "Sorry, I should
have made it clear. I meant, what do you think matters most in a relationship
aside from sex!" Kurama said. Umi and
Hikaru tumbled on the floor, trying to cover their ears. It was supposedly okay
to hear it, but for a male to male relationship… But no one can escape the
studio's loud sound system… ( poor them ^_^!) "Okay. Now that that's clear. Contestants, please state
your answers," Nuriko called.
"Hikaru and Umi. You angels
should get back to work, you know?" Hotohori said as nice as possible. "Now why
don't you get back on your feet?" The two nodded hesitantly. "I don't wanna do
this anymore!" Umi said, conferring with Hikaru. "Well, it doesn't look like we
have much of a choice…"
"Let' s start with #1 this
time," Nuriko suggested. Umi crawled over to Wufei then slightly stood up.
"Well, I'd say being there
for each other is very important," Wufei replied. The audience merely agreed.
"Next!"
"#4. Well, aside from
sex…Don't think that's possible but then…I believe that giving each other what
they need as much as possible is what matters most," Karasu replied, grinning
evilly. A portion of the audience cheered. "Yeah! Tie them as tight and as they
want and thrust as much as possible all night long!" another anonymous voice
yelled turning everyone SD and Umi and Hikaru, about to puke and stumbling on
the stage. Karasu gave Hiei a try-to-top-that staggering glare.
"#6. *mutter curses,
grumble, mutter some more, grumble some more* Hn. I'd say the most important
thing in a relationship is thrust… (everyone rocked with laughter)….i mean
trust… and a deep understanding of each other's personality," Hiei answered,
recalling the regretful events, the pain it has caused, that happened to him
and Kurama just before his birthday, which resorted into this dating game.
Meanwhile, the audience, knowing that those words came from Hiei, were silent
and shocked. Then, after their minds have finally accepted and interpreted the
piece of information containing the message that those intelligent words came
from Hiei, they started applauding and even others were on a standing ovation.
"Well, I guess, the
audience love him!" Nuriko said, her eyes becoming all teary. "Just like I love
my Hotohori." "Damnit! Would you two
stop! Just get on with the hosting!" Hanako yelled. "LIAR!" Tasuki yelled.
"#8. Hmm… I'd say the most
important thing in a relationship is knowing what each other wants and needs to
do and doing it," Tasuki replied with his fanged-debonair-smile. The audience,
especially the Tasuki-fans stood and clapped and cheered and… you get the
point, don't you?
Anyway. "So, thrust…
ehem….i mean, Lust. It's time to decide the three contestants you would want to
compete for you I the third and final round!" Nuriko informed, quite excited
herself. Minna-san cheered. "So, who will you eliminate?" his majesty asked,
turning to Kurama. Kurama then gave a reflective look. "Well… I do like them
all. But since, I've no other choice but to eliminate one… Sorry, #1."
"NOOOO!!!!" Wufei cried out
aloud subconsciously. The other gundam wing pilots began laughing and mocking
Wufei about his no-mate-condition. 'This can't be happening! The guys won't
ever stop teasing me!!! Nooo!!!!' "We're really sorry, #1! But you've gotta go.
Umi, please lead him out," Nuriko said, almost sorry for him, almost.
"All right, minna-san! The
three contestants left, #4, #6 and #8!!!" Hotohori acknowledged. The audience
cheered and screamed (and stripped) wildly and enthusiastically while Karasu
and Hiei locked lightning glares.
"But before we go on to the
next round, we'd like our date-seeker to see who the other contestants whom he
kicked out are! Hikaru, let them back in!" Nuriko said. One by one, the other
contestants came in to the stage, passing by the three final contestants, then
led by Hotohori over to the heart, getting a clear glimpse of Kurama and Kurama
to the contestants, then led by Nuriko out of the stage again through the back.
Well, the contestants
seemed quite shock at how beautiful the male date-seeker was but they were more
sad that they didn't get the prize. Kurama, on the other hand acknowledged and
regarded each contestant's own beauty, charm and finesse.
"Okay!"Nuriko called, as
she was back on stage with Hotohori. "Minna-san," the two main hosts yelled,
"Round3!"
Umi and Hikaru positioned
the three final contestants, #4, Karasu, #6, Hiei and #8, Tasuki.
"Listen up, finalists. In
round 3, you each will be choosing from two given possibilities. The one who
gets the correct answer will take one step forward into the boxes until he
reaches the safe spot in front of the heart," Nuriko explained. "The first one
who gets to the safe spot is the winner!" Hotohori then continued for her,
reading it from his cue card.
"Right!!! And our category
for the day is… Mates At Night??!!!" Nuriko read, SD, blushing a bit. "Meaning
all the choices for the questions mean more than what they seem…" Hotohori
read, getting even redder than Nuriko. The audience gave a screaming-like-crazy
standing ovation, cheering wildly and clapping (and stripping ^_^)
enthusiastically
while Umi and Hikaru
groaned. "We're not suppose to know that or at least not yet!" Umi muttered to
Hikaru. "Well, I guess it would be a good opportunity to know now…" Hikaru
whispered back, standing up, getting a hold of herself. "Shuttup!
Eeeewww…" A few moments more before
they had all settled down. "Okay then, Minna-san! Let's begin! Round 3!" Nuriko
and Hotohori stated cheerfully.
"First set of choices!
Sweet *talking* or *active* response!" Nuriko read the first set of choices.
"EEECCCHHHIII!!!!" Umi
wailed. "Shuttup, Umi or you'll get us both in trouble!" Hikaru swatted her.
"#4, active response." "#6,
active response." "#8, active response."
"Lust?" Hotohori turned to
Kurama who had his own cards of answers. Of course, the one that matches
Kurama's answers get to step forward a box. Kurama raised his card, blushing
and smiling slyly, stating *active response*. "Lust says active response. They
all step forward!" Hori-kun informs happily. "Next set, whip cream or
chocolates?" Nuriko read from her cue card. 'What are those?' he thought. The
audience rocked wildly. Kurama just grinned devilishly.
"Heheheh." Umi covered her
mouth. "I'm really going to puke…..eeewww…."
"What kind of question is
that?" Karasu complained, "Well, I'll go with the whip thingy." (^_^ Well,
after all, he doesn't know what either are, and since he is a sadist, what'd ya
expect?!) "Chocolates," Hiei answered. Well, he knows his mate well… "The cream
thingy. I think I might have heard of what that is…" Tasuki replied. Everyone
SD. (^_^ Well, who could blame them for not knowing what whip creams and
chocolates are?)
"Lust?" Nuriko asked. He
read the former's card saying *chocolates, hehehe* . "Lust says, chocolates!"
Nuriko SD, said. "It looks like #6 is in the lead with a step further than the
other two," Hotohori said. (Well we know that, and so does the audience
obviously, but what's a host to do? It's his job ain't it?^_^)
"Next set of choices!"
Nuriko called, raising her cue card. "Now here's a good one!" she said giggling
hysterically. "Now this one can mean something else but we obviously all know
what it means! Ahahaha!" she giggled, blushing and cuddling Hotohori with her
strength. "HEY!" Hanako yelled.
Umi and Hikaru tried to
prepare themselves for the coming question however it seemed to them that
they'd never be ready enough. "*&^%#^%*)&%%*Go--*&&%^$^!!! Why
does it have to be this way?! Who made those darn questions?!!!" Umi strangled.
"Hey! Stop it!" Hikaru shouted. "If you don't stop, I'll REALLY call for
Mokona!" Umi could only imagine her strangling that big bob live marshmallow
and nothing else.
"Okay! The choices are…,"
Hori-kun began. "*Take charge* or *take the charge*."
"AUGH! Someone save me,"
Umi prayed. "Take charge," Karasu replied. Of course, he'd be the one in
charge. "Take the charge," Hiei replied. (Now there's Hiei for ya. We all know
the fire demon ain't the aggressive type…well not always…but when he does
become one…it'll kill ya! Hehehe.:P)
"I'd say take charge!" Tasuki replied. "Lust?" Hori-kun asked. Kurama turned
the card to show him. Hori-kun read the card out lout saying, "Take charge!"
"Now we've got a triple
tie! Wow! This is such a tight match!" Nuriko noted excitedly. The she took a
look at her card. "Now I like this question! Ahahaha!" Umi and Hikaru fell to
their knees. They knew what that meant in one word. ECCHI.
"Choices are," Hori-kun
began, "Bed AND Breakfast or *Breakfast* Already in Bed*," he read. The
audience whooped their astounding approval for the last choice. "Breakfast
already in bed!" the three replied. And so does Kurama's card say. "Alright!
They all get it correct!" Nuriko exclaimed. "Yes! They are all tied up at the
row of boxes just before the safe spot. One more to go! Who could it be?!" his
majesty informed. The designated fans cheered fanatically. Visibly, Kurama was
also getting irrepressibly anxious. SD.
"Final set of choices that
will decide who that lucky man is! Is it…*all tied up* or *all pinned down*?"
Hotohori-kun read, blushing, embarrassed. The audience went wild. Duo was
obviously turned on by the question…^_^ While Heero was exasperated… Well,
isn't he always?…guess not…^_^ Karasu, thinking that what it meant was that he
could tie up Kurama and well…do what a sadist does which is to irrevocably
spread his dishonorable evilly painful ways. So he said, "All tied up." Well,
we certainly know what our fire demon will reply. ^_^ "All tied up." However,
Tasuki, remembering the instance when Chichiri and Miaka tied him up had hated
the experience. And besides, he and Kouji had never had to come to the point.
^_^ So he replied, "All pinned down," thinking that if he was correct, he not
only gets to do it with whoever was the date-seeker but he'd also get the prize
money and car and the idea of winning the bet over Tamahome who had been
already eliminated.
The audience was waiting
anxiously. Hotohori and Nuriko were also excited, checking Kurama's card… "All
tied up!!!" they both shout, slightly jumping up and down. "Hn." "Nnn…" Karasu
and Hiei stepped forward to the safe spot. Now it was only between the two of
them. The gave arrow glares but neither seemed to be pierced…(^_^ Gomen. Wrong
choice of words, I think.)
"NOOO!!!!! Darn it!!!! I
almost won!!!! ARRGGHH!!! DARN!!!! &^$(&&%#%()_!!!!" Tasuki yelled,
raged, for having lost the chance… Everyone SD. "He seems to be taking it
well," Umi told Hikaru, conferring with her in a whisper. "Yeah. C'mon. I'm
just glad this is almost over. Let's lead him out." Umi nodded. "NOO!!!" Tasuki
yelled all the way out. Everyone SD. "Geez, he is such a kid sometimes," Nuriko
muttered, with a bigger sweatdrop. "KAWAII!" Hotohori turned to Kurama and then
the audience. "Well, since we have a tie between contestants #4 and #6, we're
going to need a tie-breaker." Everyone SD. (^_^! Really, are those
like-duh-words coming from the emperor of Kou nan?)
"Lust, would you like to
ask another question or would you give them a physical challenge?" Nuriko
asked. The crowd screamed at the top of their voices 'physical challenge!!!!'.
"Well, I guess, I'll give them a physical challenge!" Kurama stated.
"Alright then! I'll take
care of this bastard!" Hiei curtly and confidently stated yet with a hint of
uncertainty at the back of his mind. If Kurama had almost died trying to kill
this bomb-blasting bastard before at the tournament, what chances does he have?
But he was sure he won't let Karasu get Kurama. There was simply no way he'd
allow that to happen. Hiei pulled up his cloak and unconsciously threw it at
the audience, wherein the Hiei-fans toppled over each other trying to get the
cloak and keep it for themselves ^_^!. They both removed their wards and
motioned into combat stances. Karasu just smirked sadistically and raised an
open right hand, concentrating his ki to form invisible bombs. However, with
Hiei's jagan, he had a better chance of dodging the bombs. Karasu started the
attack, sending the bombs over to Hiei.
"What do you think you're
doing??!!! That's not what we meant by physical challenge!!!" Nuriko bellowed.
"Nuriko!!! Watch out!!!" Hotohori yelled as the bishounen emperor pulled Nuriko
from the path of the falling studio lights. Portions of audiences began to run
to the nearest exits, as well as Umi and Hikaru, led by Haru and Hanako while
others merely got out of the way of the debris, watching the battle between
Karasu and Hiei.
At the same time, Kurama
became solidified in his seat, recognizing the ki of first, Hiei, then Karasu,
whom he remembered killing at the tournament before.
"NOO! Stop it, you two!
You're destroying the studio!!!" Nuriko yelled, as he and Hotohori were heading
for an exit, while the gundam pilots were heading for the opposite exit. "Hey,
Miss! Watch out!!" Nuriko called as with her strength, she held the big rock
attempting to topple on Hanako. "Nuriko…" Hanako whispered as she crawled out
from the path of the rock. "We better go!" Hotohori exclaimed, grabbing the
hand of Nuriko and Nuriko grabbing the hand of Hanako.
The gundam pilots just
reached the exit. "Aren't you going, perfect wife, miss?" Trowa asked Haru,
recognizing the girl guarding the exit. "Nn?," Haru asked, blushing, "Oh, well,
Akira is still in there…" Haru thought regretfully. "If she's anything like
you, I'm sure she'll be alright. Now let's go." Haru blushed then her wistful
frown had turned into an accepting smile, as she took Trowa's hand. Quatre
glared at her but then had smiled instead. "Let's go!" the blond pilot called,
as they all went out.
The studio was totally wrecked, the heart had turn into ashes, the
audience's seats were now empty, Kurama's mind was still in it's stunned state
and his mind was swimming, thinking of what had happened between him and Hiei
for the past weeks, thinking of the possibility on how Karasu was now alive.
The battle was still going on, with Karasu seemingly more likely to win while
Hiei had manage only to tire and bruise Karasu a bit, and Akira, the director
of this show, was still filming. Hiei's body was almost fully covered with his
own blood and severely bruised. He had already tried the Kokuryuha twice and so
far, it has had no effect. Not only did Karasu survive Kurama's mimosa plant
before, but now he has become invincible.
A few moments more, Kurama
had returned to proper consciousness. Slowly and hesitantly, he turned to the
two who were locked in combat. Now, Hiei was helplessly in Karasu's hands. Yes,
he could slightly move his hands, but the effort would cause too much
unbearable pain. Karasu tore Hiei's shirt into shreds. And a small hard paper
of some sort, as Karasu would describe it, fell onto the ground and was blown
just before the redhead. It had blood almost all over, but he was still able to
recognize it as a card. Karasu took Hiei's sword in his own hands and plunged
it deeply into Hiei's lower abdomen, breaking a few ribs, still crushing deeper
into his flesh, and finally hitting the cement, the sword pinning him to the
wall. He tried his best not to scream amidst the excruciating pain, he would
not give in to this sadist's demands of pleasure in causing someone pain. "Hn
hn hn hn hn," Karasu laughed devilishly. "Pathetic really. Kurama is mine!"
Karasu yelled.
Kurama picked up the card
and wiped some of the fresh blood of the card. The design was a fox carrying a
rose in its mouth. He smiled at the thought of it and opened the card, to find
a set of messy scribbles as though a five-year-old kid had written it. With his
observant senses, he noticed the dried blood and tears that had stained the
card, then tried as much as he could to read it.
It read: 'Tu mi drest
kitsune, I just want u tu no dat u r beri preshus tu me nd I luv u beri much.
Hapi burtday! Luv, Hiei.'
As he read the short
message hidden in the card, hot tears began streaming down his cheeks, which he
had not noticed until he read the card for the third time. It was certainly a
surprise to him. Hiei didn't know how to write and that was a fact he had
always considered. So…when had Hiei learn to read and write? Who taught him?
Where did he get the money to buy a card and a writing medium?
Then it came to him that
perhaps all these happened when Hiei seemed so busy all the time a few weeks
back before his birthday. So that was why Hiei didn't tell him what other
important things he had to do aside from having time spent with Kurama. It was
because from some person he didn't know, he asked to be taught to read and
write and perhaps do some work to pay for the card. It was Hiei's birthday gift
to him and he wanted to keep it a secret.
He didn't even give Hiei a
chance to explain… He knew Hiei wouldn't steal anything from the ningen world
just as he promised to him. 'What have I done… What have I done?' he repeated
in his mind. He had mistaken Hiei's concern for him as taking him just a
plaything, which has caused them to break up. He tucked the card in his shirt.
He returned to his senses just in time to stop Karasu from his final attack.
With a burst of ki, he
summoned his mimosa plants, which caught Karasu by surprise. Karasu tried
bombing them but it simply was no use. It came out one after the other. While
Karasu was busy running away from the mimosa, Kurama went over to Hiei and
pulled out Hiei's kitana, Hiei arching his back in the rushing of a new wave of
pain.
He fell powerlessly into Kurama's
arms. "K-kk-kitsune…" the fire demon tried to whisper. "Sshhh… *sob* Don't *choke* talk *sob*," Kurama
tried saying. "Baka na…why… are… you… crying?"
"Ahhh!!!" a feminine voice
cried, as Akira was caught in an explosion Karasu has released but turned
futile as he was devoured completely by the mimosa plant. At once, Kurama
called off his plants as they were closing in on the director. Being assured
that Akira was gonna be okay, he turned his attention back to the koorime.
"Hiei…I'm sorry *sob*…I'm
so *sob* sorry…" Kurama whispered as he held Hiei tightly in an embrace.
"K-kk-ku…raa…ma…" "I'm so sorry. *choke*It's all my fault…" Kurama cried.
"Kk-kkuraa…ma…Baka na…I can't breathe…" Hiei tires saying as he was squished by
the former's strength. "Oh, sorry." Kurama let go. "Baka no kitsune." "So, do
you forgive me?" Kurama asked. Hiei turned away.
Kurama sighed. How stupid
could he be, asking Hiei to forgive him for being so jealous, so irresponsible,
for not trusting him enough… There was no forgiveness. He didn't deserve any…
Hiei turned back to the kitsune he once had lost. "Hn." The fire demon then
smiled, well, it did look like one, but for Hiei, who could tell. Kurama looked
up and gazed at the dark being, He was confused by his actions. "C'mon,
kitsune." "Huh?" "Let's go home…"
