Performance 9

"Kaoru we have to work on your song now!" screamed Misao. She grabbed two chairs and she and Megumi sat their waiting for Kaoru to sing.

"Yes! What are you planning on using to seduce Ken-san?" asked Megumi.

Kaoru stared at them for a second before smiling. "I was planning on something like…" she got in to position. She opened her mouth.

She screeched out a loud, piercing, squeaky, "La, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Misao and Megumi covered there ears and started laughing.

"If you sing like that in front of Himura, you will send him running to Kyoto!" laughed Misao.

"Seriously Kaoru, what are you going to sing?" Megumi said.

Kaoru smiled again and ran to the band. She whispered something in their ears and they nodded before striking up the tune.

Kaoru swayed her hips back and forth before she began to sing in a country voice.

"Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type

No, I can't swig that sweet Champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night

In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate

I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait

Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip

I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

'Cause I'm a redneck woman

I ain't no high class broad

I'm just a product of my raising

I say, 'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw'

And I keep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me,

Hell Yeah!"

Kaoru swayed some more. She laughed slightly at the shocked look on Megumi's and Misao's faces.

"Victoria's Secret, well their stuff's real nice

But I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price

And still look sexy, just as sexy as those models on TV

No, I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me

Well, you might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore

But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door!

Hey I'm a redneck woman

I ain't no high class broad

I'm just a product of my raising

I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw'

And I keep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me,

Hell Yeah!"

Kaoru began dancing in a square as she moved with the beat. She smiled and had fun with it. She stopped dancing and began to sing again.

"I'm a redneck woman

And I ain't no high class broad

I'm just a product of my raising

And I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw'

And I keep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every ol' Bocephus song

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah

'Hell yeah, hell yeah

Hell yeah

I said hell yeah!"

Kaoru ended the song and laughed at her own craziness. Megumi and Misao fell to the floor anime style as they laughed really hard. They all rolled on the floor it a fit of laugher.

"Kaoru, you are crazy!" Miaso yelled. They all finally recovered from laughter. Misao looked outside and was shocked. "Kaoru the festival's about to start! You didn't practice!"

Kaoru only smiled and said, "Somehow, I think I'll manage. Let's go get change."

Megumi and Misao smiled evilly. They grabbed Kaoru and rushed her into the dressing room. "Were are going to make you look great Kaoru. Oh HO HO HO!" Megumi laughed as she grabbed the lipstick.

Misao said with an evil grin, "Kenshin won't even recognize you." She grabbed the blush.

Kaoru stared at her friends wicked faces. I hope Kenshin appreciates me for doing this. I mean, if I survive Misao's and Megumi's experiments (gulp) on my face.

Kaoru fought back the urge to scream in terror.

Hi! I'm back! Sorry it's short. I'm kind-of stalling here. No worries though. The next chapter is on the way!

Battousai: Yeah right.

Animelover: (Takes out a bazooka) (aims it at Battousai) Anymore sarcasms?

Battousai: (cowering in fear of big bazooka bullets) N-N-No!

Animelover: Good.

Please ignore any modren terms. I'm just wondering... did they even redneck women back then? I don't know... what do you think?
