A/N: Hmm...when thinking about this one, I just couldn't pass it up! While watching RENT, I got to thinking, hey Mark reminds me of Miroku. I also started thinking, wouldn't it serve him right for a girl to turn lesbian on him! Lol! AU where Miroku dates a girl named Maureen. Let's say he's dancing with...whoever you want it to be but I'm calling her Jo Ann.
Disclaimer: Just because I forgot it on the first two, and this goes for the rest as well: I DON'T OWN INUYASHA OR ANY OF THE SONGS I AM PUTTING ON HERE. MUCH SMARTER AND MORE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE THAN ME OWN THAT!
Character: Miroku
Song: Tango Maureen
Movie: RENT
Miroku walked up the three flights of stairs to the apartment he once shared with his beloved girlfriend Maureen. The girlfriend who left him three weeks ago for a lawyer, named Jo Ann.
He knocked on the door, only to hear a "come in" from the other side. Miroku gladly walked in. He had high hopes that this little trip would get Maureen to come back with him. After all, who would leave Miroku?
"Is that you Maureen?" he smirked walking into the large studio like area where his ex performed. A woman, same height as him, came out in a business suit. He froze. "Jo Anne?"
"Miroku," she stated flatly. She lifted a finger to her temple and began to rub it. "I told her not to call you."
"Well, I suppose I can leave if you want," he walked over to tinker with something hanging up. Jo Anne rolled her eyes.
"She'd be mad, you can stay," she walked in other room for a minute. Coming back in, they looked at each other and froze. She had a microphone in her hand that she had been trying to work with, but it wouldn't work for her. Finally she dropped it and looked up at Miroku. She began to sing.
"This is weird."
"It's weird," he joined.
"Very weird."
"Fucking weird."
"I'm
so mad
That I don't know what to do
Fighting with
microphones
Freezing down to my bones
And to top it all off
I'm
with you"
She was pissed. That was easy to see.
"Feel
like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're
thinking of drinking gasoline?"
He offered making crazy gestures with his hands.
"As a matter of fact," she shot him a nasty glare.
"Honey,
I know this act
It's called the 'Tango Maureen'
The Tango
Maureen
It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round
As she keeps you
dangling"
"You're wrong," she disagreed.
"Your heart she is mangling."
"It's different with me!" she pointed to herself. Miroku scoffed and kept on.
"And
you toss and you turn
'Cause her cold eyes can burn
Yet you
yearn and you churn and rebound"
"I think I know what you mean," she nods her head and he joins in with her.
"The Tango Maureen."
"Has she ever pouted her lips and called you, 'pookie,'" he puckered his lips up, imitating his cheating ex-girlfriend.
"Never," Jo Anne began walking the other direction. Miroku followed.
"Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?"
"This is spooky," Jo Anne turned to him and pointed, till singing. "Did you swoon when she walked through the door?"
"Every time," he offered. "So be, cautious."
"Did she moon over other boys?"
"More than moon," he sang, remembering what she did do.
"I'm getting nauseous," she stops. They look at each other, and toss their jackets aside. Miroku offers a hand and they began to Tango. Miroku leads off, as any man should. Both of them, still singing.
"Where'd you learn to Tango?" he asks, genuinely smiling. She scowls.
"With the French Ambassador's daughter in her dorm room at Miss Porter's and you?"
"With Sango, the exterminator's daughter at the Tokyo community center back home," he smiled. Jo Anne takes the lead, pushing him back. "It's hard to do this backward."
"You should try it in heels," Jo Anne scowls. Miroku takes lead back over and they continue. "She cheated!"
"She cheated," Miroku sang.
"Maureen cheated!"
"Fucking cheated!"
"I'm defeated,
I should give up right now!" Jo Anne continued to sing, doing amazing dance moves at the same time.
"Gotta
look on the bright side
With all of your might"
"I'd still fall for her anyhow," Jo Anne frowns. They both start singing together.
"When
you're dancing her dance
You don't stand a chance
Her grip of
romance
Make you fall"
"So you think, 'Might as well'" Miroku, began.
" 'Dance a Tango to Hell,'" Jo Anne finished.
"At
least I'll have tangoed at all
The Tango Maureen
Gotta dance
till your diva is through
You pretend to believe her
Cause in
the end you can't leave her
But the end it will come
Still you
have to play dumb
Till you're glum and you bum
And turn blue"
They both sang together dancing the Tango all the while. They finished and Miroku looked at Jo Anne. "Why do we love when she's mean?"
"She can be so obscene," she sighed. Miroku walked over and smiled. Jo Anne glared and finished. "She's still MY Maureen!"
