The Demise of Richard Hayworth

It was a dreary day, to Richard at least. A very dreary and rather long day. Work had kept him up and he couldn't wait to get home and sleep for the next 10 hours. As he sat on the bus, he attempted to catch some shut- eye that he had missed, but was distracted because a group of rather giggly teenage girls were sitting a few seats away from him and gossiping loudly.

The bus was almost empty, Richard noted, so he wouldn't get any glares from passengers if he told those girls to just SHUT UP! But his nature was too kind to be so "abrupt", so after a minute of trying to ignore their chattering, he sat up and called over to them. He wore a friendly grin on his face that said: Please-I'm-A-Very-Tired-Man-Who-Would-Like-You-To-Shut- Up-Now and he tried very hard to keep the annoyance out of his voice.

"Excuse me, would you mind talking quieter?" The 8 girls stopped talking immidietly and turned slowly to face him with a stunned expression on each of their faces. Richard turned pale as he saw their T-Shirts, which he couldn't really see before since they were huddled together. Now that all 8 girls faced him, he could see that they had bought their T-Shirts from an Anime Convention. And whaddaya-know, 3 of them happened to be wearing Rurouni Kenshin. He soon found out that all of them knew the show, though.

"You...you have Kenshin's voice!" one girl said dumbly, staring in shock. Richard twitched. 'Its my voice, excuse me,' he thought irritably. As the girls began to whisper eachother wonderingly, Richard got into a panic. 'Don't let them start yacking off again!' He tried to cut them off.

"Actually, I'm just his voice-ORO!" he choked, as a notebook came out of nowhere and conked him on the head. "Ororooooo...." he wheezed, clutching his head. Dazedly he heard the fangirls cheering and crying to eachother: "Did you hear that? Oro! You were right! That's so cool! Hit him again!"

"GAH, no mo-ORO! ORO! ORO!" 3 more objects had collided with his head, and the crazy girls cheered once more.

"WOW! That is so neat! Hit him again, Chels!" "Its SOOOOOOO cute! Oro oro oro!" *more giggles* "Here, I think I have a plastic doohicky in here....." *sounds of someone fishing through their purse*

'Whats wrong with me?!' Richard thought, panicky. 'Oh yeah...now I remember...' 'When I was the voice actor for Kenshin Himura, I practiced saying 'Oro' all the time...'

Unfortunately, apparently it was sticking.

CONK! "Oro!" 'THIS IS ENOUGH!' Richard thought angrily. He stood up from his seat and glared at the offending fangirls, stretching to his full 5 foot and 6 inched height, much unlike the character he had played. "Now, you cut that out right now-" he thundered, but to his dismay the fangirls did not pay any attention to his mood. They were too busy cooing in delight at his oro-ing.

CONK! CONK! "Oro! Or- STOP IT!" Shhhhwww! A pencil flew past as Richard frantically dodged. "Driver! I want to get off NOW!" he screeched, dodging gum wrappers (with gum inside) and a few brushes. The bus pulled to a stop, and Richard ran out as fast as he could.

He ran frantically until he came around the corner of a building and stayed there for a while, hand over his eyes. 'They're gone? Thank goodness....'

"THERE HE IS!" "GET HIM!!!"

Conk! "ORO!-WILL YOU STOP THROWING THINGS AT ME YOU CRAZY PSYCOPATHS!"

CONK! "Orooooowaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!"

New York Gazette

Many people wondered that day why a grown man was screaming and being chased and pelted by a mob of young girls. Richard Hayworth, voice actor for Japanese animation Rurouni Kenshin, was chased for 5 hours by the small mob. They pelted him with various objects, and when they ran out, they used their shoes. They continued to harrass him, the police said, until he would make his eyes swirl. After attempting the strange demand his eye ended up facing the back of his head which resulted in his panic and crashing into a lightpole. The culprits of this even took him to the hospital and were later sent to the mental stability center. After Mr. Hayworth regains use of his left eye, officials say, he will be released to a speech therapist who will help him rid himself of the phrase, "Oro," which apparently was the cause of the whole trouble.

~*~ Owari ~ The End

Sincerely freaky, I know. It came to me in a dream.... *waves fingers mystically*. No it didn't. It popped into my head while I was eating extremely spicy pasta for dinner. It was really funny in my mind, but once again my lack of grammer skills prevented me from writing the whole picture in a funny and amusing way. ......Er....OK! I'm writing really weird today! bakldjf;aieakda. Using too good grammar. Ah. Nice short sentences. I'm happy now. If this made you smile at all, then you are really easy to please. How nice. I think I'm paying more attention to my ideas then entertaining an audience right now tho. I basically wrote this to write the idea/image down, so i don't forget. It was pretty funny when I thought of it, after all. Seriously, if you enjoyed a little itty bitty bit, I am satisfied. Goodbye. More to come.

Ps: NO, I do NOT know Richard Hayworth's height, I do NOT know how tall he is, I do NOT know if he has a kind nature, and NO, I do NOT know if he has ever been mobbed by fangirls because his voice is that of the red haired Rurouni we all love...

Richard: Ahem. It's my voice.

Me: No, its Kenshin's voice. Kenshin's.

Richard: Oh, shut up.
