Okay, so maybe I lied about the song last chapter. But this song is most certainly not meant to be sung to the tune of "Ballroom Blitz"
Chapter 3: Too Much Confidence, So Little Song
Of the 3 days that had past since Snarglepuss had besieged upon the 20 people a terrible, heart-wrenching curse, and Kyo's memorable singing debut, nothing much had happened except merciless teasing for the pussy and a lingering dread; any one of them could just start singing at any time! Kyo had finally gathered up his pride and dignity just enough to come down to breakfast (one can only guess what he had been eating while stuck up there!), and as he edged into the room Mission Impossible style (complete with theme song and handgun) all faces, which had previously been staring greedily at the mountain of delicious breakfast provided by Tohru, whipped around to look at him, eyes dancing with mischief, and mouths smirking with a mocking taunt.
After a few seconds Kyo sat down at the table, and was greeted by great enthusiasm by all those present (well, not Yuki, or Akito, but that can be overlooked). Tohru, Kagura and Kazuma however, were especially glad to see him alive and well. However, it became evident shortly after sitting that the humiliation wasn't quite over when Kyo was greeted with a rousing chorus of "I wanna be, the very best…" Kyo was NOT a happy kitty, and skulked back to his room to remain for another three days.
By lunchtime everything was normal once again, and, as everyone had decided to camp at Shigure's to avoid maximum embarrassment by singing in public, Tohru once again cooked for a crowd. Ayame, the only one not perturbed by this notion, had been looking after his shop, and had finally come back for lunch. A collective groan was heard and badly misinterpreted by Ayaa as a sign of admiration and respect, as he sat down confidently, only to be scolded for sitting next to his younger brother. HOW DARE HE?! Shame……
Yuki glared (he's getting good at those now isn't he?), as he said "What do you think you're doing?"
Ayame turned to his beloved brother and responded, with a broad grin on his face, "Eating noodles, oh younger brother of mine. Did you want to discuss the eating of noodles with your older brother?"
"Piss off."
"Am I to take it then, that you do not admire me in all entireties, and do not believe me to be a god sent among you mortals to grace you with my presence?" The snake said with a note of subtle incredulous creeping into his voice.
After almost a full minute of a stony-faced Yuki staring at his brother, Ayame was answered with a simple, "Yes."
"AHAHAHA!!! You are a funny guy Yuki. I know you adore me entirely, and I must add, why shouldn't you?"
He sprung up, grabbed the microphone that had appeared through a plothole, and started swaying from side to side, nodding his head in time to the riff Shigure had just strung up on the electric guitar left over by Kyo's performance.
"Well I would say I'm so hot,
Think of all the things you love 'bout me.
I think it's quite amazing,
How most of you it's me you want to be.
Oh my bro over here is giving me a leer,
But he really wants to give me a hug.
And my zodiac friends will go to all ends,
To catch what they call the "Ayame bug"
Oh, yeah, I was electric,
So fancy and hectic.
And when I started grooving,
The girls started swooning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I walked through the door, stepped out to the floor,
As everybody turned to stare.
And all you could hear, was the sound of the cheer,
From people who saw my hair.
If they dare (dare dare)
Love my hair (hair hair)
Over there (there there)
See my flare (flare flare)
Oh, when I think of splendour,
Myself is all I ever think about.
My face is such perfection,
Makes people jealous and they scream and shout.
I see Tori at the back and he's ready to attack,
As he raises his hand to the sky.
With my charisma and charm, I'll come to no harm,
I can kill him with a wink of my eye.
Oh, yeah, I was electric,
So fancy and hectic.
And when I started grooving,
The girls started swooning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I walked through the door, stepped out to the floor,
As everybody turned to stare.
And all you could hear, was the sound of the cheer,
From people who saw my hair.
If they dare (dare dare)
Love my hair (hair hair)
Over there (there there)
See my flare (flare flare)
People love me to bits,
My clothes are awesome hits,
I'm good with sewing kits,
Yow! It's Ayame Glitz!
And there was Shigure stealing the spotlight with his massive guitar solo, head-banging and getting into the music. What a sight to see? But Ayame had to finish it off with a bang, or a
YOW!"
What an ending! Even Yuki and Hatori had to agree that Ayame produced a performance worth congratulating. And Ayame, unlike Kyo, who, incidentally, was still lying depressed in his room, knew he did an awesome job; bowing and blowing kisses, waving and smiling at the satisfied audience. Well, at least Kyo could come out of his room now; he wasn't the latest to show their personalities. But that left only one question:
WHO WAS GOING TO BE NEXT?
