In came the female chorus, of course! All dressed in shiny, feudal japanese outfits -everything was feudal japanese-, they almost instantly dissipated the dark forest's gloom, filling the atmosphere with light and joy; though Tohru didn't know if it was because of their shiny clothes and goodwill or from a sudden change of heart from the lighting crew.
And of course, they sung -the chorus, not the lighting crew-; and at the top of their lungs, too! And their song ran some like this:
*Orchestral Intrata*
Yuki's fair as bright mayday
Yuki's sweet as warmest wine
And he isn't even gay
Yuki's Prince of Bishie Kind
By now the singers were everyhwere. They were looking offstage, so they kept bumping into Tohru, and Tohru herself was having a very hard time appologizing over a three-voice female chorus with full orchestral accompaniment.
Yuki glowing
With bishie sparkles say
Is anybody going to marry you today?
Tohru tried to ask them what was going on:
"Excuse me... if I may... please..."
But, unfortunately, she hit on the chorus; and nobody head her, because now they sung even louder.
Yuki's fair as bright mayday
Yuki's soft as warmest wine
And he isn't even gay
Yuki's Prince of Bishie Kind
Then the music began a dimnuendo, and it becamse somewhat easier:
Yuki's fair...
"I'm sorry, but.."
Yuki's sweet...
"If I may..."
Yuki's the Prince of Bishie Kind...
"Okay, I'll wait..."
Of Bishie Kind!
*tam tram*
*ding*
It seemed from the cadence that the song was over; and a very nice cadence it was. And so our heroine ventured up to one of the singing girls that seemed to be the leader -her voice was the most obnoxious- and said unto her most politely:
"Hi, I'm Tohru Honda. Could you please tell me what's going on?"
The girl looked at her. And, after much reflection, she declared very solemnly:
"We," she said "Are the Prince Yuki fan club. And we're singing a song about Prince Yuki."
*dramatic chords*
"Don't tell me there's another verse..."
"No, no, that was for dramatic purpose," said the girl.
"Are you a glee club too?"
"No," said the girl "We mainly sing to scare off the zombie rabbits... And thatwasn't a glee, it was a chorus."
*Brief pause*
"I'm Motoko Minagawa, by the way," continued the girl "Not that I'm going to have any relevance to the plot, but it looks really bad to have all the characters listed by name and just one of them as 'obnoxious Yuki girl'..."
"Well," said Tohru "You could always get listed as part of the chorus..."
"Yes," said Motoko "But it wouldn't have the same glamour to it now, would it?"
"I don't think so..." said Tohru "But why is it that you say that you don't have any plot relevance?"
"Why" said Motoko "Because we only herald the arrival of Prince Yuki!"
"Prince Yuki?"
"Yes... He is the most beautiful, adorable, loveable, not to mention strong boy in all the land. You might have guessed it from the song."
"And he's coming here?"a asked Tohru.
"Why yes," said Motoko "In fact... here he comes: All hail Prince Yuki!"
"Hail Prince Yuki!" shouted the chorus girls, overjoyed to have a line instead of just standing there pretending to be deaf.
And then, a dazzling light filled the scene. Tohru was more than anxious to see who this Prince Yuki was.
Yet when the light died out, we saw that it was not Prince Yuki, but...
The Evil Daimyo of Fruittygore!
*really, really, REALLY big Dramatic Chords*
