Part Two: The Mokuba's Birthday Countdown!
"Hello?" Kagome called into the control room. She'd gotten a call from Setto Kaiba, to come to Kaiba Land to give help with the preparations for Mokuba's party tomorrow. She'd already sent Inu-yasha to help with any grunt work - though he was still complaining that his legs were hurting from his fall earlier - and now, Kagome was looking around the control for Serenity.
"Hey," Kagome said to Joey's little sister. "Why are you stuck in here?"
"Oh, I'm just staking a break," Serenity said, sipping a cold soda. "And my favorite show is on. It's an old cartoon show, but I can't get enough." She turned on of the monitors on to channel 97, where instead of a cartoon, the girl were surprised to see Mokuba Kaiba and Shippo sitting in the News room.
"We interrupt this program to bring you a special announcement!" Shippo said. Then, he transformed into a gong, which Mokuba began to strike loudly.
"This is the Mokuba Kaiba Birthday Countdown!" Mokuba declared.
Serenity quickly dialed her cell phone, and said, "Setto, get up here."
-----------------------------------------
"He's WHAT?!?" Setto Kaiba exclaimed as he listened to the report from his lackeys from the station. Now the whole gang was assembled in the control room, watching the boys pull their shenanigans on the air.
"Your brother and his friend have taken control of the studio," said one of the spineless lackeys. "We don't know what to do. We don't want to be fired sir, and he owns half of the station."
"That's right," Kaiba said, "I left him in charge today. What have I done?!" He exclaimed. Then, he spoke to the laky again, "I can't leave right now, or I'll give away everything. You're just going to do what ever he wants, and make sure that no harm comes to him."
"Yes, Sir," The laky said, hanging up from his end.
"What will we do?" Kaiba muttered as Serenity put a kind hand on his shoulder.
"Now everybody," Mokuba's voice said from the TV, "Time for another Birthday update! We go now to our special Birthday Weathergirl, Mai Valentine!"
"MAI?!?!" They all exclaimed.
"That's right!" Mai said, holding a hand in a peace sign and tapping on the camera lens with a freshly manicured nail. "I'm here with your weather report. As you can see, this mass of swirly things show that Kyoto will be in for a big drench, where as Tokyo and Domino will see nothing but sun and clear skies for the next two days. Back to you, Birthday Boy, " she said, blow him a kiss.
"Thank you, Mai," Mokuba said, grinning from ear to ear. "Now, I'd like to introduce you all to my friend, Shippo Fox."
From their seats in the control room, both Kagome and Inu-yasha gasped as Shippo popped up in the screen.
"Hello everybody!" the kitsune said merrily. "I'm here to bring you all a fun new show! It's called; The Mean, Big-headed Dog-boy Show!" and he held up a drawing of Inu-yasha, with an enlarged head and small body to the camera.
"WHAT!?!?" Inu-yasha screamed. He drew back to punch the screen, but the other guys grabbed him and held him down. "Wait till I get that little-!!"
"Inu-yasha calm down." But no sooner had she spoken than Shippo began his story, with visuql aids.
"Once there was a pretty girl, from modern day Japan," Shippo said, holding up a very anatomically accurate drawing of Kagome, "Who was nice and sweet to everyone. She was going to school one day, when she went looking for fat cat in hidden well. Just then, GRRRR, a giant bug monster popped out of the well, grabbed the girl, and pulled her down the well into the Feuding States Era. Where she met the mean, bigheaded dog-boy. He was pinned to a tree by a magic arrow," The drawing showed a tiny Inu-yasha, with an enormous arrow stuck in his head, "The girl felt sorry for him, and pulled the arrow out. But being mean, he tried to attack her, to take a magic Jewel from her. But she used the command SIT to make him stop. Then, one day, the girl accidentally broke the magic jewel, and the dog-boy got really mad.
'"How could you break it?!"' he cried like a baby. So the old priestess told him and the pretty girel to get along, and go find the pieces of the magic jewel. That's all for now, folks. Now back to Mokuba, for more Birthday updates, and so I can draw more pictures."
"Thanks, Shippo," Mokuba said. "It's now Twelve hours and Twenty three minutes tilled my birthday. Now, as a gift to you, I'm going to sing a very special song. I dedicate it to my brother, who left all alone on my birthday, so he can go off to Finland. Accompanying with background vocals is Duke Devlin, And Ryo Bakura."
The two young mentioned showed up behind him, dressed as Barber Shop singers. The held the hats, and Mokaba, getting his own jacket and hat, grabbed their microphones, and they started to sing the song Mokuba sang earlier in the mansion.
As the boys sang, Setto Kaiba hung his head, covered his face with his hands, and said, "I'm ruined! I'll never live this down! We'll lose everything because of this fiasco!"
"Now THIS is 'Mokuba's Revenge'" Joey said as he sat down with a bowl of popcorn, and began to watch the mayhem.
------------------------------------------
At the station, Mokuba played a series of commercials so he and his co-conspirators could take a break.
"Thank you guys for showing up," he said to Duke, Bakura, and Mai. "Things would have been kinda rough if it were just us two alone."
"We wouldn't have missed it," Bakura said gleefully.
"This is my first appearance on Public TV," Mai said. "An opportunity like that doesn't come along everyday."
"I'd like to your brother's face if he saw this," Duke said. "And just think of what Kagom's thinking."
"She won't mind," Shippo said, gathering up his new drawings. "She's understanding about everything. Inu-yasha, however, might kill me, but it's worth it."
"Ready to go back on," Mokuba told them, and they all got in place. Mokuba looked at the cameras, smiled, and said. "We're back, with more birthday updates. It's now Eleven hours and fifty eight minutes till my birthday. And-"
"Sir," one of the station hands said, "We have calls from viewers."
"This isn't a call in show," Mokuba said, astonished.
"I know, but they're requesting that your friend Shippo continue with that story, and with those illustrations."
"Well, give the public what they want," Mokuba said. He pointed to Shippo, and the guys took their places.
"Hello everyone!" Shippo said cheerfully, "Now, on with the story!"
-------------------------------------------
"You have to stop them!!!!" Kagome shouted at Setto Kaiba, "If they keep this up, everyone will know about the well, and Inu-yasha might taken by scientists for experiments!"
"I don't want be a guinea pig!" Inu-yasha screamed.
"Don't worry," Kaiba said, "They're just playing. And I doubt that anyone will take their story seriously. I hardly believe it myself, except that you're right in front of me. Otherwise, I'd dismiss you all as a figment of my imagination."
"This is pretty," Tea said as they Shippo hold up caricatures of the group, and tell more stories.
"Yeah, Miroku's bald, and Songo's a warrior princess," Joey said.
"I can see why people like this," Yugi said. "Let's leave them alone for a while. This all kinda cute"
"Coming up in an hour," Shippo said as he was ending this leg of the story, "The Bigheaded Dog-boy meets The Ancient Pharaoh!" And the kitsune held up a drawing of Yugi, only his hair and puzzle were larger than life.
"NO!!" Yugi shouted, dropping his soda. He ran to Kaiba, and started shaking him, "You have to stop them!"
"What's the matter, Yugi," Kaiba said smugly, "I thought you said it was cute."
"Everyone in Domino knows I have a Puzzle like that!" Yugi shouted. "If they reveal my secret, they'll reveal yours!"
"You have a point," Kaiba said. He dialed the phone, and asked for the station hands. But they said the same thing to Kaiba that they had said to his brother. The rating s were through the roof! People were calling in, asking for more of these cute kids and their wild stories.
"Well, if it's bringing in ratings," Kaiba said, thinking. Until heard Mokuba speaking to the viewers.
"After this episode of 'The Bigheaded Dog-boy', Me and Shippo will give a live Duel! And the stakes: The loser autions off their cards live on the air. But unfortunately, I don't have my own deck." A fake audience awed in disappointment. "So, to show my brother how much confidence I have in him, I'll use his deck, and his Blue Eyes White Dragons, against Shippo's deck, which contains the Legendary Exodia!"
As Shippo held up the Exodia cards, Joey, in his seat, Said, "Alright! Exodia against Blue Eyes! That I'd love to see." BUt then, they all heard a loud cracking noise. They turned, and Kaiba stood stark still…His cell phone crushed, in his bleeding hand.
--------------------------------------------
Mokuba sat back and listened as Shippo told the story of how Yugi and his friends met Inu-yasha, all names changed to protect the negligent, of course. When a station hand came in, and whispered, "Mr. Mokuba,"
"Not now," Mokuba said. "He's getting to the good part."
"Sir," the station hand said, scared, "It's your brother. He wants to talk to you."
"Huh? Setto?" Mokuba whimpered. Then, a bunch of security started to haul everyone of them out, stopping Shippo in the middle of his story.
"Hey!" Shippo cried, "Let me go, what do you think you're doing!?!" Then, the screens went to black, and a message went out, saying that the station was experiencing technical difficulties, and would be back on the air shortly.
"Hello?" Kagome called into the control room. She'd gotten a call from Setto Kaiba, to come to Kaiba Land to give help with the preparations for Mokuba's party tomorrow.
