As usual, you see a pitch-black screen. But your used to this by now, right?



So you should already know that, next, the black gradually fades out to reveal a brightly lit studio, with the camera pointing at a black leather Lay-Z-Boy and matching couch.



Sitting in the Lay-Z-Boy is your strange blonde host. Her light blue eyes seem to dance as she smiles at you.



Fireruby: Hello, and welcome to another exciting edition of NYATS Live. As you may have noticed, I wasn't here last time. My friend Akemi was filling in for me… she was really freaked afterwards, though… does anyone know what happened to get her so upset?



Audience: -shrugs-



Fireruby: Oh… well, anyway, let's start the show already. Today's special guest is the 13th master of the Hiten Miserugi Style, and sensei of the most charming rurouni in Japan. Please put your hands together for Seijiro Hiko!



Everyone in the audience claps and cheers. A few fan girls in the front are screaming.



Fan Girls: WE LOVE YOU, SIR HIKO!



Hiko walks gallantly onto the stage and sits himself down on the couch. He flashes the fan girls a very charming smile. Half of them faint.



Fireruby: Welcome, Hiko. I'm very pleased to have you on the show! Though, I know I'm not the only one. You have quite a few fans in our audience.



Hiko: -smirks- Yes, I've noticed.



Fireruby: ^^ Do you have anything to say to your fans before we start?



Hiko: Yeah, actually.



Fireruby: And what is it you'd like to say?



Hiko: They are right to love me. I really am cool.



Fireruby: ^^; Yes, of course. Moving right along… -she shuffles through her stack of papers- Akemi insisted on alphabetizing it… now I can't find ANYTING…



Hiko: -.- Any day now…



Fireruby: Ah ha! -she pulls out a light green sheet of paper- Found it!



Hiko: Good. Finally.



Fireruby: This one is from AliKat87. She writes, "Hiko, I love you so much! Your so handsome, and strong… and I love the way you always jump in at the right time to save the day! The only thing that's bugging me is why you're always so down on Kenshin… he's really not such a bad guy… why all the insults?" Well, Hiko?



Hiko: That's a dumb question. If I wasn't hard on my baka deshi, he never would have learned any self discipline, not to mention any sword skills. What kind of people are writing to this show, anyway?



Fireruby: ^^; My friends, mostly. I haven't gotten any questions from my reviewers yet.



Audience: Awww… how sad….



Fireruby: -.- Yes, it is. So… onto our next question… -pulls out a random sheet of paper- This one of from… uh, how do you pronounce that? -she holds the paper out in front of Hiko-



Hiko: o0 I don't know.



Fireruby: Um… -looks at it- Rocky, do you know how to pronounce this?



Are you kidding? Of course not.



Fireruby: oo; Okay… um… this next letter is from… an anonymous source… yeah, that's it! Okay, so the anonymous person says, "Hiko, why is it that you and Kenshin wear your hair out so long? Don't you know that short hair is the new fad? Just look at Sano!". -.- No wonder the name's so hard. I bet the person just made it up. I guess I would too. What a stupid thing to ask.



Hiko: ~.~ Are they making fun of my hair?



Fireruby: I guess you could put it that way. Um, if it helps… I like your hair…



Fan Girls: So do we!!!





Hiko: ~.~ No one makes fun of my hair… they will pay…



Fireruby: ^^; Um, before you make them pay… can you finish the show?



Hiko: -settles down- Okay. Fine.



Fireruby: ^^ Good. Now, let's see… -she shuffles through her papers again and pulls out a small note- This person doesn't have a question. Just a request. They'd like you to show off some of your sword skills for them…



Hiko: ^^ Okay!! I'd be glad to do that. But… who will I demonstrate them on? -he looks around for a target on the stage, but only sees Fireruby. He points at her- You, maybe?



Fireruby: 00 What? No, no, no… um… heh… would anyone in the audience like to be Hiko's target?



No one in the audience raises their hands, but one of the fan girls speaks up.



Fan Girl: Would it mean I'd get to touch him?



Fireruby: o0 Um… well, he'd touch you.



Fan Girl: Really?



Fireruby nods weakly. The Fan Girl squeals in delight and runs up to the stage.



Fan Girl: I'll do it! I'll be your "target", Hiko!



Hiko smirks and raises his sword.



Fireruby: 00; Um, I should probably go call an ambulance for this poor ignorant girl. I guess this is the end of the show. Tune in next time to hear from a special mystery guest! Till then…



The screen fades back to black as Hiko shouts "Ryo Sou Sen" and rushes towards the fan girl. Fireruby frantically grabs her cell phone and dials 911.

(A/N- Please review! I'd love to hear any guest requests and/or questions to ask them. Thanks. To Be continued.)
