Chapter 8: Act I
Ellen was sitting in front of a mirror in the changing room. She played with her newly curled hair that took an hour to curl. The 17 year old looked much older in her thick stage make up. Her lips were a dark blood red and her cheeks looked like she was constantly blushing. Her eyes were under lined in thick black eyeliner, and her eyelids in a light blue. Her dress was a tree green. It was long enough that if she wasn't careful she could trip over the dress and fall on her face.
Shinji ran into the room, red in the face almost hyperventilating. The look on his face in the mirror made Ellen jump.
"5 minutes Ellen, 5 minutes! On stage!" Ellen nodded warily.
'Poor Shinji,' she thought, 'He's going to work his way to a stress caused heart-attack at an early age.' She signed.
Ellen stood by the wings as the Capulet party scenery was being put up. Hiei went up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him and almost laughed at the sight of his bandana still covering his mysterious third eye. "Good luck," She whispered.
But he only replied, "I don't need luck." As she got onto the beautiful set. Ellen looked out into the audience. 'It's like the whole school is here, I think in drama terms they call that a full house.' She looked down at the first row where the whole spirit detective gang was sitting.
Enter Hiei
Kurama had to shut Botan's mouth when they all saw Hiei in his "renaissance attire" The scene began.
"I I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle fine is this; My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints had hands that pilgrims; hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers; kiss." Ellen stepped toward Hiei and stepped over the bottom of her dress and was tugged down. Ellen could hear Shinji hyperventilating in the wings thinking Ellen would fall over her dress. Hiei moved toward her incase she did some how fall he'd catch her.
"Have not saint's lips, and holy palmers too?"
"Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer."
"O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do! They pray; grant though, lest faith turn to despair."
Kuwabara whispers to Kurama, "Why are they talking all funny like that?"
"Saints do not move, though grant for prayer's sake." Ellen continued.
"That's the way people spoke back then." Kurama whispered back.
"Then move not while my prayers effect I take thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purged." Hiei does not even hesitate as he puts a hand on her cheek and kisses her.
A gasp came from the spirit detective's row. Keiko had a tissue in her hand and started to cry and said in a low voice to Yusuke, "Why can't you be so romantic?"
"You want romantic?" He leaved over to kiss her but she slapped him so hard the sound of the slap resonated throughout the auditorium.
