Zeno was sleeping in his studio when Gambler Naruto walked in.
"Yo, Zeno!" he said shocking Zeno out of his sleep. "How's the show coming?"
Zeno started sulking.
"Not so good... But I have gotten an answer to the question!" Zeno said and held up a piece of paper, making Naruto's eyes widen.
"Really? What's the answer, then?"
"Ranma Hakubi writes: As for what Lady Luck could do to you, she would probably give you more bad luck than the Legendary Sucker, while giving those competing against you good luck to further tip the scales."
Naruot breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I don't have anything to worry about, do I? I mean, I beat her without any luck at all. I thought she was going to shove a lightning bolt up my ass or something."
"Yeah..." Zeno said and opened another letter. "Oh! It's a letter from Insane Melody! Apparently he wants one of his OCs in this show! It's moving forward!"
"Yeah..." Naruto said and sat down next to Zeno. "But you still need at least one more guest." he said and took out a bottle of sake. "Want to get drunk and beat up Keigo?"
Zeno grinned. "Yeah! That would probably get the ratings up!"
An hour and four sake bottles later.
"I can't believe I drank two bottles of... what's the word I'm looking for?" Zeno asked leaning against his controls while Naruto was relaxing on the floor.
"Um... What's it called again...?" Naruto mumbled with a hand on his chin. Ten seconds later, he snapped his fingers. "Sake!"
"Right! Sake! I can't believe I drank two bottles of sake..." Zeno said as he stood up on wobbly legs before pressing a button on his controls. "Can Keigo please come to Studio 9? Keigo to Studio 9."
Naruto got up with a baseball bat in his hand.
"We're gonna beat him up?"
Zeno rolled his eyes.
"No, I want him as a guest on my show." he said as he took out a baseball bat of his own. "Of course we're gonna beat him up."
They hid the bats behind their backs as soon as Keigo rushed into the room.
"Aha! You've finally come to your senses, huh?!" Keigo shouted with a triumphant grin.
"Yeah." Zeno said with a grin on his face. "Now, I need you to come over here and sign a paper, indicating that I can ask you whatever I want without you getting mad."
"My pleasure!" Keigo said and cockily walked over to Zeno, only to get beaten to the floor.
"Oh, come on, Keigo! You didn't really think I'd ever let you guest star my show, did you?" Zeno asked as he smacked the whimpering Keigo again.
"My turn!" Naruto exclaimed and slammed the baseball bat into Keigo's ribs.
After five minutes of horrible beatings, Naruto looked at Zeno.
"I think we killed him, dude..." he said poking the bloodied and unmoving Keigo. Zeno smiled.
"Don't worry about it. I'm the author. I can revive him. Look." he said and snapped his fingers.
The blood disappeared and all of Keigo's injuries were healed.
"That's great, dude!" Naruto shouted with a wicked grin. "I just thought of something!" he said making Zeno raise an eyebrow. "It's a way for Keigo to be in the show and to keep the guests from getting bored!"
Five minutes later, Keigo had been gagged and chained to a wall in the studio. Naruto stood in front of him with a blindfold covering his eyes and a kunai in his hands.
"I'm going for... the groin." Naruto said and tossed the kunai, hitting the teenager straight in the dangly bits, making him scream a muffled scream while Zeno pressed his 'Wild audience roar' button with a grin on his face.
"This was a great idea, Naruto!" Zeno shouted pointing at the crying Keigo whose groin was healed again after Naruto pulled out the kunai. "A great way to relieve stress and boredom."
Naruto smiled and took out another bottle of sake.
"Let's drink to that." he said and sat down with Zeno in front of him. "By the way, why don't you make it so that the listeners can send in letters to your upcoming guests?"
"Yeah! Why don't I? I'll put it in the commercial in five minutes." Zeno said with a grin and accepted the sake filled saucer.
