Commercial Number One:

Kaede (sp?): ::standing in front of her hut:: Oh, hello, I didn't see you there!

Random passerby: ::sweat drop:: How lame......

Kaede (sp?): If I had known I'd be on film, I would've pasted on my handy- dandy SkinStretcher! In fact, I believe I shall! ::hurries back into hut::

Passerby: ::face fault::

Three extremely boring minutes later......

Random boy: ::moons camera::

Camera man number one: ::throws stick::

Random boy: -- Just wanted a little publicity...... ::runs off sobbing cornily::

Three more extremely boring minutes later:

Sango: ::struts out of hut:: There, now that I have applied some of my beautiful SkinStretcher in 25 quick n' easy steps, I look like a completely different person!

Passerby: ::drown in sweat drops::

Footnotes as Sango starts flirting with a random man: Don't apply too much or the face will actually stretch. ::breath:: If this happens, contact 1- 800-FAKEMIKOS immediately to waste some more of your money. ::breath:: Side effects are too gory to include on this G-rated commercial.

Sango: So buy SkinStretcher and look 200 years younger!

Kaede: ::from inside the hut:: Hey! I'm not THAT old!

Commercial Number Three (Last Commercial, Yay)

Cat-Demoness: ::standing in front of PetCo:: Hello, again. I'm sure you all remember me from The Rope of Doom, episode two, Romantic Dinner Gone Wrong, and if you don't, shame on you! I'm here before you, or actually, technically, before the camera, to advertise an amazing company called PetCo by showing you how much my little doggy friend Inu-Yasha loves PetCo's Comfortable Collars.

Inu-Yasha and Kagome: ::suddenly pop up out of no where beside Cat- Demoness::

Inu-Yasha: -UCK!? ::looks around:: ......Ok, now where am I?

Kagome: Did I just hear a gunshot? Wasn't I just in a fancy (and romantic) restaurant in France? Why am I at PetCo? ::pointing at Cat-Demoness:: Who are you?

Cat-Demoness: ::pushes Kagome out of picture:: Erm......ignore her, she's crazy.

Kagome: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!?!?!?!?! ::gets tackled by Random Camera Woman Number One::

Random Camera Woman Number One: ::hisses:: Shut up, we're broadcasting live to over one million people!

Kagome: ::turns really, REALLY pale:: W-we are? Can they see me? OH GOSH, CAN ARE ONE MILLION PEOPLE WATCHING ME AS I SPEAK!?!?!?!! ::starts to hyperventilate::

Random Camera Woman Number One: Uh......::pulls Kagome a foot or so backwards::Calm down. They can't see you.......::mumbles:: anymore........

Kagome: Good......::faints::

Inu-Yasha: ::standing at edge of camera frame, tugging on rope:: Grrrrrrr......what do you want with us?

Cat-Demoness: ::suddenly throws a collar around Inu-Yasha:: Now tell us, Inu-Yasha, and answer me truthfully, is this collar comfortable?

Inu-Yasha: Um, N-

Cat-Demoness: ::stomps on Inu-Yasha's foot::

Inu-Yasha: OW! YES!

Cat-Demoness: GOOD! This is one of PetCo's Comfortable Collars! Now try on this one...... ::takes off PetCo's Comfortable Collar and throws on a cruel looking one, inseams lined with tiny invisible spikes:: Is THIS one comfortable? ::cackle::

Inu-Yasha: ::gasps in agony:: NO! GET IT OFF ME, YOU FREAK! GET IT OFF! ::writhes in pain on pavement, clawing at the collar::

Cat-Demoness: Well, there you have it, PetCo's products RULE! Buy from PetCo! WHOOT!

Inu-Yasha: OWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW!

Kagome: XoX

.......

Random Camera Man: Hey, Sweetums, how do I turn this off?

Cat-Demoness: --u Father! You're embarrassing me in front of everyone! It's the little red button! Geez, fogies, these days.......tut, tut.

::Insert fifteen seconds of fidgeting with the camera before screen finally goes blank::

In the last episode, Inu-Yasha and Kagome actually kissed ::gasp::!

We would have ended the show right then, (when?), then, and there, (where?), there ::cough:: I've got issues ::cough:: but unfortunately for us, certain circumstances have occurred and we are being FORCED to stick with this poor couple until the end of their little escapade or we'll all get sued. --u

Inu-Yasha: Ok, Kag. Let's go.

Kagome: XoX

Inu-Yasha: I don't know where. Somewhere. Anywhere but here! ::glares at Kagome's passed out form:: Stop asking stupid questions, baka.

Kagome: XoX

Inu-Yasha: I'm not crazy! I'm just a little bit insane.......What was IN that collar, anyway?

Kagome:XoX

Inu-Yasha: No wonder.......::starts dragging Kagome by The Rope of Doom:: I better go to a hospital or something.......Oh, what's that building over there? School. Hmmmmmm. Lets go to School, Kagome, maybe they'll have some arsenic-healers over there!

Kagome: XoX

Inu-Yasha: --u Don't give me that look...... ::drags Kagome through the doors::

Kagome: ::wakes up:: U-Uhn? Wh-where are we? ::groan::

Inu-Yasha: School, duh! I just said that! Weren't you paying attention?

Inu-Yasha: Oh, hehe, oops.

Kagome: grrrrrrrrrr.......

Inu-Yasha: Hey, Kagome, is poison bad for you?

Kagome: Uh, (thinking) 'and Inu-Yasha finally wins the prize for Stupidest Question of the Day' Yes, Inu-Yasha, it is.

Inu-Yasha: Oh......::looks sad:: How bad?

Kagome: It can kill you, depending......Inu-Yasha, are you all right?

Inu-Yasha: Give me a dog bone and I will be.

Kagome: Wha-?

Inu-Yasha: Give me a dog bone, wench, or I'll have to kill you.

.::Back with Inu-Yasha and Kagome::.

Kagome: A dog bone? Why do you want a DOG BONE?!

Inu-Yasha: Will you take me outside? I have to go pee-pee.

Kagome: O.o What's going on, here?

Cat-Demoness: ::suddenly appears by Kagome:: HEY, KAGOME! He ate The Evil Collar of Doom, a rip-off show of The Rope of Doom that doesn't really exist.

Kagome: -- Right.......

Cat-Demoness: It has, erm, had, a random product in it that causes weirdness in the consumer.

Inu-Yasha: Idiot. I spat it out.

Cat-Demoness: But what did it taste like?

Inu-Yasha: ::mutters:: ......Poison......

Cat-Demoness: Really? I always thought it would taste like chicken. No matter, though. You tasted it and you won't recover until 2:00 am on Saturday morning, which is tomorrow. Kagome? Take care of him and don't let him near any roofs or high places.......

Kagome: ::gulp::

Inu-Yasha: ::breaks out in song:: I BELIEVE I CAN FLY! I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY!

Kagome: O.o Darn.

Cat-Demoness: And for this advice I require ::sticks little finger in mouth:: ONE BILLION DOLLARS!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, I'm evil, baby, dig it.
