"Welcome to 'Anime characters come to life'. Today we have two very special guests. Please welcome Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha and Ranma from Ranma 1/2!" the hostess called out as the audience, mostly made up of fangirls, jumped to their feet and started cheering and catcalling as the two men walked onto the stage and seated themselves on the beige colored chairs.
"If you all remember, a little while back we had their counterparts on the show discussing their reasonings for going on strike, would it be safe to assume you two are hear to speak of the same?" the hostess questioned as she turned her attention back to the two men sitting next to her.
"Hn." came the reply from Sesshoumaru.
"What Sesshoumaru here is trying to say, is yes. I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say we are tried of what all those crazy fangirls are either doing to us or making us do in their fan fictions. I mean really, the girls think they have it bad? What they go through isn't even comparable to what we do." Ranma insisted before turning toward the other guest, searching for his agreement.
"Hn." Sesshoumaru replied.
"Don't you have anything more to add than just 'hn'?" the hostess questioned turning her attention from Ranma to Sesshoumaru.
"Hn." Sesshoumaru replied.
"Well what do you think is the worse thing that keeps happening to you in fan fictions? Ranma why don't you start." the hostess suggested, deciding to give up on getting more than a one word answer from Sesshoumaru.
"The worst thing? How about never overcoming my weaknesses, such as turning into a cat whenever I see them or constantly being seen as nothing much but a macho idiot. They give me no room to grow. Every other line of mine is me sticking my foot into my mouth. I constantly fall into the same traps laid by Kuno or Ryoga or even Mousse, over and over again. I never seem to learn from them.
"And don't even get me started on the stories where I fall for Kodachi. I mean really, what in world are these people thinking, that girl is nuts." Ranma complained, shaking his head. "And Akane thinks she has it bad when she's paired with my other 'fiancées'? How about when I'm paired with them in my female form or even when I get permanently stuck in my female form?"
"And what do you think is the worst, Sesshoumaru?" the hostess questioned turning toward the quiet man.
"Hn." Sesshoumaru replied once again.
"Let me translate for you." Kagome called out as she walked out onto the stage, causing the crowd to start cheering from their seats again. "What Sesshoumaru said is 'he's tried of going into heat, since that is something female dogs do. He's tired of arguing with his inner beast as if it has some voice of its own, since that is in fact still himself. He's tired of becoming a love sick puppy that does nothing but chase after my tail. And he's tired of me constantly reforming his arm when my holy power would in fact purify him and not heal him. Anything else?" Kagome questioned as she turned to glance at the stoic lord.
"Hn." he told her.
"And he's tired of 90% of his lines being 'hn', but Sesshoumaru that is all you're saying." Kagome informed him receiving another 'hn' in response. "He's says that it's the fault of the writer and not him." Kagome translated as she turned to the hostess with a smile.
"Well Kagome and Akane had mentioned during their interview, and you've touched on it a bit Ranma, that there was certain pairings they did not appreciate, is it the same for both of you? Perhaps one pairing you think is the worst?" the hostess questioned after a moment of silence.
"That's easy, worse pairing ever? My female form and Kuno. Sorry but I beat everyone with that." Ranma insisted, referring to the contest the girls had been having on the last show.
Everyone turned to Sesshoumaru to awake his 'hn' in response when he instead turned toward Ranma with a single eyebrow raised. "I have been paired with my half-brother, I win."
"Alrighty then, well that is all we have time for today forks. Tune in next time when our guests will be Kuno from Ranma ½ and Kouga from Inuyasha. Goodnight everyone." the hostess called out before turning to shake hands with her guests as the credits started to roll on the screen.
