You turn on the TV and are greeted by a pitch black screen. Within a few seconds, it disappears, and is replaced by color bars.
TV: -beep- We are having technical difficulties. Please stand by.
BelleBeauty: What the heck?!
Neko-Kitsune: -bangs on TV- Come on!
The color bars disappear. You see the usual image of the well-lit NYATS studio. But without two very important factors.
One; your blue-eyed host is nowhere to be seen. Two; the cushions are falling off the small leather couch and the Lay-Z-Boy is completely tipped over.
Suddenly, you see Akemi run past the camera. She looks freaked.
What the heck is going on?
Fireruby: MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS ROCKY!
You hear the crazed blonde's scream a few seconds before she runs on screen. She's carrying a very heavy looking dictionary over her head and looks quite dangerous.
Fireruby: COME BACK HERE, AKEMI! You can yell at me for using 'uber' and 'tight' all you want, and you can even get onto me for calling you 'sista' but don't you EVER take the word 'coolio' in vain. EVER!
She turns back towards the camera, just seeming to notice it.
Fireruby: -.-; Why the heck is this thing on?
You see her reach back behind the camera and then the screen disappears once more. You see the color bars again.
BelleBeauty: -tries her luck at banging on the TV- Goodness! What's going wrong with that show now?!
Neko-Kitsune: -shakes her head sadly-
BelleBeauty: Maybe we should find a different channel?
Neko-Kitsune: Nah… let's give her a few more minutes.
20 minutes later…
BelleBeauty: -still staring at the color bars- Think we gave her long enough?
Neko-Kitsune: -has fallen asleep on sofa- ZzzZzzZzz…
BelleBeauty: -.-; Forget it… -gets up to change the channel and trips over Neko's shoe- Ugh… stupid shoe… -she picks it up and glares at it, then turns and glares at the TV- Stupid unreliable show… -she chucks the shoe at the TV and, almost as if by magic, the color bars disappear and you see the NYATS studio once more-
Neko-Kitsune: -instantly wakes up- Oh my gosh! How'd you do that?!
BelleBeauty: 0_0 I… I don't know… I just threw the shoe… -she hurriedly crawls over to the thrown shoe and hugs it close to her- THANK YOU, OH, GREAT AND MAGICAL SHOE!
Neko-Kitsune: o0; Uh… Belle?
BelleBeauty: -drops the shoe- ^^; Sorry…
They both turn back to the TV and watch the show.
Fireruby is back and sitting in her Lay-Z-Boy, which is now upright and in it's proper place. All the cushions are back on the small couch, and everything looks pretty normal.
You notice the dictionary Fireruby was waving around earlier is now discarded on the floor next to her Lay-Z-Boy. There's a curiously large hole in the center of it. You wonder…
Fireruby: ^^ Hello. Welcome to another interesting edition of NYATS Live. I'm sorry the show's starting off a little late today… We were having a few… eh, technical difficulties.
Akemi: -from offstage; scared shitless- Yeah… technical… stuff and… whatnot…
Fireruby: Anyway, please welcome today's guest, Inuyasha!
Audience: -saw exactly what happened to Akemi and also scared out of their minds- 0_0 …
Fireruby: -still a little ticked- I said WELCOME today's guest!
Audience: -starts clapping with WAY too much enthusiasm-
Inuyasha, who also saw what happened to Akemi, walks onstage. He sits down on the couch, nervously glancing at the 'broken' dictionary on the ground.
Fireruby: ^^ Welcome to the show, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: … Thank-you, Fireruby….
Fireruby: Shall we start with the questions, or do you have something to say first?
Inuyasha: o0 Yes.
Fireruby: Really? What is it?
Inuyasha: What the hell did that poor girl do to deserve punishment like that?!
Fireruby: Don't say 'hell'. And who are you talking about? What poor girl?
Inuyasha: -points offstage at Akemi-
Fireruby: -.- Oh, you mean her. She deserved it.
Inuyasha: Oookay…
Fireruby: Can we start with the questions now?
Inuyasha: Uh, sure.
Fireruby: ^^ 'Kay. The first one's from Neko-Kitsune-Gumi. She writes, "Why do your clothes change from pink to red? In the manga it's pink and in the anime it's red.. Whassup with that?"
Inuyasha: What's a magna?
Fireruby: A comic book.
Inuyasha: Really? Maybe it was just a bad printing job or something. I know for a fact that I would never wear pink. And if anyone dares draw me in a pink outfit again, I will personally see them to their deaths!
Fireruby: You're really passionate about this, aren't you?
Inuyasha: -.- Pink is NOT a manly OR demonic color.
Fireruby: Hey! Kenshin wears pink!
Inuyasha: Kenshin?
Fireruby: Yeah… rurouni Kenshin… the wandering samurai…
Inuyasha: That redhead on your show a few days ago?
Fireruby: That's the one!
Inuyasha: Oh… I thought that was a girl…
Fireruby: ~.~" Kenshin. Does. Not. Look. Like. A. Girl.
Inuyasha: o0
Fireruby: -takes slow, deep breaths- Ooookay… let's get off this subject. Onto the next question, then?
Inuyasha: 0.o Sure.
Fireruby: Okay. The next few questions are from Belle Beauty. 1) What will you do when you find all the pieces of crystal?
Inuyasha: When we find all the crystal shards? Boy, won't that be the day! They'll be so much we can do! First we can put a stop to Nuraku and all his stupid minions… then maybe I can take on my brother… and then I could go out and knock down mountains JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT… then I-
Fireruby: ^^; I think we get the point… Wow, those crystals must be pretty powerful.
Inuyasha: -nods- Yeah.
Fireruby: Question number two is: Do you love Kikyou or Kagome more?
Inuyasha: 00 Huh?
Fireruby: Oookay… I'll put it this way. If I had was to kill one of them, which would you rather live?
Inuyasha: -a little smugly- You couldn't kill either of them, Fireruby. They would kill you first.
Fireruby: Heh… guess you're right… um, put it this way, then… if YOU had to kill one of them, which one would it be?
Inuyasha: -.-; I probably couldn't kill one of them either… Kikyo would shoot me before I could get close enough for a good swing, and Kagome would probably command me to sit, then shoot me in the back…
Fireruby: ^^ That would be hilarious.
Inuyasha: -.-; For you, maybe.
Fireruby: -sigh- Well, whatever. Since I can't get an answer out of you for this question, I'll just move onto the next one… Question 3) If you're half dog then why do you have ears that look like a cat's?
Inuyasha: 00; Dog?! Who the hell told you that? I'm not half dog! I'm half demon!
Fireruby: Don't say 'hell'. And you gotta admit, you do look a little like a dog sometimes. You scratch yourself with your feet, for goodness sake.
Inuyasha: Yeah, whatever.
Fireruby: So, what's up the cat ears then?
Inuyasha: Uh, I dunno… Maybe they're supposed to be my artist's idea of short dog ears?
Fireruby: Maybe. That's a pretty good guess.
Inuyasha: Er, thanks.
Fireruby: -shuffles through her papers- I guess that's all the questions…
Inuyasha: -.-; Can I go, then?
Fireruby: No.
Inuyasha: WHY NOT?!
Fireruby: Because we still have some time left on the show…. Do you have anything you could do to entertain us while we wait?
Inuyasha: -.- No.
Fireruby: Oh…
Inuyasha: Maybe you could show your viewers what you did to your Audio Mixer back there. I'm sure they're curious to know.
Fireruby: Well, alright… since we have time… Akemi, put in the video.
Akemi: -from offstage; still freaked- Yes ma'am… -pops in tap-
The live studio disappears. You see a cheap recording of what happened before the show. Fireruby is still chasing Akemi with the giant dictionary.
Fireruby: Come BACK here you literate freak!
Akemi: -runs faster- LEAVE ME ALONE, FIRE! You KNOW I'm right!
Fireruby: -runs faster as well- You are SO not right! Coolio is a word! Whether you acknowledge it as one or not!
Akemi: -trips over a camera cable and falls face first into the carpeted floor- Noooo!
Fireruby: -stands over Akemi with an evil smile on her face- Oh, yes! You will pay for insulting the international language of coolness! -raises the dictionary higher over her head and starts to bring it back down-
Akemi: -flinches- Don't do it!
Fireruby: You asked for it! -She flips the dictionary open the the 'D' section and quickly finds the word she's looking for- There! -She holds the open dictionary in front of Akemi and points out the word- See?! 'Dude' IS a word! It's even in your precious little dictionary!
Akemi: -reads the definition before covering her eyes with her hands- No! It burns! It burns!
Fireruby: -laughing triumphantly- I TOLD YOU!
Akemi: Noooo! -she frantically reaches out to grab the dictionary, and instead ends up punching a hole through the center of it-
Fireruby: Ahhhh! You dork! You just ruined my dictionary!
Akemi: -covers her head with her arms- Don't hurt me!!
Fireruby: -suddenly notices the clock on the wall- Oh my gosh! The show should've started half an hour ago!
She hurries back over to the stage as the screen goes back to color bars.
The color bars dissolve away, and once again you see the live NYATS studio.
Fireruby: -.- Happy now?
Everyone: 0_0
Inuyasha: …. Yes…
Fireruby: Good. That's all for now folks. I gotta go patch things up with Akemi, and find a new dictionary. Tune in next time to see some more Yu Yu Hakusho characters on here… I haven't decided which ones yet… maybe you should vote on the review board? Which reminds me… REVIEW!!! Till next time…
The screen fades to black as Fireruby casually walks offstage, kicking the dictionary along in front of her.
TV: -beep- We are having technical difficulties. Please stand by.
BelleBeauty: What the heck?!
Neko-Kitsune: -bangs on TV- Come on!
