Mid Summer's Night Dream

Chapter Five

A group of mechanicals were walking to the palace in the moonlight. "Is everyone here?" asked Suikotsu.

"Yes." answered Bankotsu. "And here is a good place for our rehearsal. Suikotsu, you will start. When you have finished your speech go through the break in the trees over and come back on your cue." Jaken jumped out from the break in the trees.

"What the hell do we have here? Why are they so close to Naraku's palace? What is this? A play? I will be their audience." He hid in the shadows.

"Speak woman." said Bankotsu. Suikotsu just ignored his remark.

"Thisbe, the flowers of odious savors sweet – "

"Odors!" yelled a frustrated Bankotsu. He went up to Suikotsu and smacked him outside of the head. "Odors."

"Odors savor sweet." began Suikotsu. "So have my breath, my dear. But what's that, a voice." Suikotsu danced his way to the trees.

"What a strange person. I shall have some fun with him." Jaken followed Suikotsu into the breaking the trees and was giving an evil cackle.

"Should I start now?" asked Renkotsu.

"Yes, sadly, you must. Suikotsu went off to see a voice and will come again when I call for him."

"Oh most handsome Pyramus, you are the most wondrous creature that has ever stepped on this earth." They all waited for Suikotsu to come back from his cue.

"Hey, woman, you missed your cue. You were supposed to come back in when Renkotsu said must 'wondrous creature'." Suikotsu comes back from the trees. Everyone gasps. His face had changed. He now had upon him a head of a donkey.

"I must tell you as well, Thisbe" he began." I am meant only for you." He was now neighing. People started to fall of in shock.

"Oh, monstrous beast! What are you? Everyone run! Find help!" They all screamed like girls while they ran away, but no one screamed louder than Ginkotsu. Jakotsu was the only exception and screamed like a man. Suikotsu was confused.

"Why did they all run away? Such wimps. They're trying to scare me. I will remain here all night if I have to. I will sing. They shall hear that I am not afraid. I want to change the world…" At that moment Naraku opened his eyes to see a heavenly being.

"What angel awakes me from my bed? Gentle mortal, my eyes like the shape of your buff body and I love the fact that you still seem like a virgin. I swear to my heart that I love you. Stay with me forever. I will have my faeries serve on you hand and foot. Kagura, Kohaku, Kanna!"

"I am ready." said Kanna.

"And I." said Kagura.

"And I." said Kohaku.

"Treat this man well."

"Hail mortal." said Kanna.

"Hail." said Kagura.

"Hail." said Kohaku.

"Lead him to my bed." Suikotsu gave a moaned of pleasure.
