"SOI!"

The female seishi paused and groaned.

"What the hell d'ya want, Homo?" she shot, turning to face the approaching painted one. Tomo smirked.

"Nice to see you're actually paying attention to me for once. You must not be heading off for Nakago, if you're willing to stop and chat a bit."

"You're interrupting my business."

"This won't be long."

Soi crossed her arms.

"Better not be. You've got one minute."

Tomo took a breath. Only one chance here.

"Soi, you shouldn't let yourself be in love with Lord Nakago."

"Just so YOU can have him? I don't think so."

"No, listen to me! He doesn't love you back! Can't you see it, in his eyes?"

"In his eyes?"

Tomo grinned. The lights dimmed around Soi and him. A moment later there was a spotlight, right on Tomo. He was face-paintless, and wearing tight black leather clothes. (That one's for you, Kari!) Music began playing from no where.

~In Konan~

"SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIIIIIIIT!" Tasuki shouted. Chichiri sank comfortably into his seat, CD player rolling and headphones on.

"TA! I want headphones too!!" Nuriko pleaded to the sky. "Does being your muse mean NOTHING?!" The authoress from above just grinned and kept writing the fic.

~Back in Kutou~

Miboshi, Ashitare, and the twins had poked their heads out of their rooms when the music started. Suboshi readied his ryuuseisui in case he'd need them on the singer, and Amiboshi had his flute ready for himself. Tomo looked up at Soi and the singing began, complete with expert dancing.

He's a cold-hearted shogun
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool—no

"Oh. My. God. Tomo. Is. Singing. Paula. Abdul." Miboshi's mouth dropped open. Suboshi gave him a look.

"How do YOU know Paula Abdul?"

Miboshi sweatdropped.

"Well…she…has a very good body-VOICE!"

"BUSTED!!" the twins laughed. "Miboshi likes Paula Abdul!"

"SHUT UP!"


You're the one givin' up the love
Anytime he needs ki
But you turn your back and then he's off
and fightin the Suzaku
You're the one to sacrifice
Anything to please him
Do you really think he thinks about you
when he's out

Ashitare's hands/paws went up to cover his ears. It wasn't that Tomo couldn't sing. He was quite good. It

was just the words didn't quite fit the tune.

He's a cold-hearted shogun
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

It was only late last night
He was out there fightin'
Then he came back to check

That you were there for his return
All the world's a giant war
He's the king of fighters
When it comes to true love girl with him
there's no one home

"He's RUINING Paula Abdul!" Miboshi sobbed before muttering the correct words to himself.

"He's got the lyrics memorized…" Amiboshi sweatdropped.


He's a cold-hearted shogun
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

You could find somebody better girl
He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better girl
He's c-cold as ice

He's a cold-hearted shogun
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

The music came to an end and Tomo stopped dancing. Light applause came from the audience, mainly for the dancing. He grinned at Soi.

"Well?"

Soi paused.

"Well…I actually honor and respect the fact you have enough guts to stand in front of me wearing THAT and singing that, but no matter what you say Nakago is –mine–!"

A sizzle of lightning latter, Tomo was lying on the ground, fried, as Soi made her way towards Nakago's quarters. Tomo sighed.

"Well….that punishment wasn't that bad…"

"Ruin Paula Abdul's song will you?" a voice hissed behind him. Tomo sweatdropped as he saw Miboshi's prayer wheel spinning like mad.

"Oh dear…"

TA: Eheh ^^;; not the best parody song I've done. I've just had the idea for this for a while and thought I'd try it. But at least it gives the mental image of makeupless Tomo in black leather, for Tomo fangirls. That's a good thing, ne? ^^;; review please. Oh, and I own nuthin. No the song, not the folks listening to it.
