P'g: OI! This is my first Shaman King fic...but not my first Interview show. I have a long series of them! Anyway, this'll be about 4 chapters as I have 16 guests. That's 4 guests each chapter! You may notice some Author's Notes along the way. That's because I wrote this a year ago. Back then I didn't do any updates on Fanfiction so it was really only meant for me to see...I was bored and wanted to write something for my entertainment. Anyway, enough of my gabbing on, enjoy the show!
The Interview Show
'With your host, the ever so prodigious, Holly!'
(People in the audience jump out of their seats and cheer as Holly walks out onto the set like Ophra Winfry (sp?) does)
Holly: OI MINNA! It's been a very long time since I've seen you all! I'm so sorry, but other projects I've been hosting, such as Select-a-date for beyblade and the Big Brother series have taken up a lot of my time. Not to mention my new show, hosted by myself of course, The Bishie Club, will also be taking up time. But just for you, and because I'm so due for one, I'll be doing an interview. Now, as you know, I've gotten to love some new anime series and I'll be doing one in particular that I've been adoring for quite some time now. So ladies and gentleman please put your hands together for…SHAMAN KING!
(Author's Note: Shaman King was one of the last Interview Shows I did. Select-a-date was a beyblade fic that I did a long time ago on a site called Destination: Beyblade (which is now closed). I'm not sure if I'll upload the Big Brother series because last time I tried to upload it it got deleted on me...Argh. Also, I still haven't finished the Bishie Club...over 2 years of writers block...ugh...)
(the audience cheers as Yoh walks out on stage)
Holly: Yoh…why are you all by yourself? I asked for the whole cast.
Yoh: I know…but they each wanted to be introduced separately.
Holly: Ah, I see. Well, we'll get started with you then. How have things been going in Doby village?
Yoh: Oh, things are great! Unfortunately though, Anna has me working really hard so that I can become Shaman King.
Holly: Of course. You'd have to work hard to be Shaman King because not only do you have a lot of incredible opponents, but you're the main character, and everyone knows the main character is the one to succeed in the end.
Yoh: Now you know that's not always true. I lost to Faust once.
Holly: Yes, I'm well aware of that…but if you didn't lose once in awhile than the show would be pretty boring.
Yoh: Oh yeah. I can see your point.
Holly: Wonderful. So, how are things going between you and Anna?
Yoh: Oh, they're ok, I guess. She's got me on this crazy diet where all I can really eat is salad.
Holly: How sad…you're forbidden from all the good stuff.
Yoh: Yeah, I know. But once I become Shaman King it'll all pay off.
Holly: Ah, but you can't completely slack off once you've become Shaman King…remember that star dealy…
Yoh: (chuckles) Dealy…that's a funny word! And no, I haven't forgotten about it.(sweatdrop) Well to be honest…you mentioning it reminded me…
Holly: T.T;;; is that so…
Yoh: Yup!
Holly: Alright then…So how are things with team Asakura?
Yoh: Ah, you know, we're getting through the tough times and such. Recently Faust went a little crazy, but that problem was fixed. Kind of a funny story actually…
Holly: (nods head) ne-yesh, I see.
Yoh: That's another clever word…you don't mind if I borrow them, do you?
Holly: it's not whether I'd care, but if Anna would care…
Yoh:(sigh) Yup, can't forget about Anna's opinion. If I did…I'd be dead.
Holly: Well it was most certainly nice talking to you Yoh, but you see, I'm still on the 5-7 page limit, and there's so many characters I'd like to interview so I'm going to have to let you go.
(A/N: If you read my Metropolis version you'll understand the whole 5-7 page limit)
Yoh: Oh that's no problem. I was getting hungry anyway. I'm glad you have a buffet back there, or else I'd starve! Luckily Anna's giving me a day off so I can eat whatever I feel like.
Holly: You'd better enjoy it than.
Yoh: I'm gunna eat as much as possible! (laughs)
(Yoh exists the stage waving to all his fans. Some fans melt in "happiness")
Holly: (to audience) Next up to be interviewed is Faust. But, for the first time ever for the Interview Show, let's cut to a commercial break.
(4 random commercials play)
Holly: Great! Welcome back…and as I mentioned before the break, we're now going to interview Faust. So everyone…please applaud Faust.
(walks on stage with Eliza by his side)
Holly: Hi, Faust! How are you?
Faust: Hello, Holly. Eliza and I are just fine. How about you?
Holly: Aw, I'm great! Thanks for asking. Now, I must ask you a few questions.
Faust: Sure.
Holly: How has life been now that you've joined Yoh?
Faust: Life is wonderful. I feel like I finally have something to live for. Now that I've joined Yoh, I've been given the chance to not only connect with other shaman, but also with my dear Eliza.
Holly: I'm very happy for you. But I must ask-especially because Yoh had mentioned it. Why did you go er… 'crazy', to say the least?
Faust: Let's just say, I needed to 'take on a different role' in order to help someone.
Holly: aye, that's alright.
Faust: (smiles)
(A/N: That 'crazy' thing refers to the episode with the gladiator family...the one where the mom kept fainting.)
Holly: Are there any other people you feel you have a strong connection or friendship with aside Yoh and Eliza?
Faust: Oh yes. I'm very fond of Manta!
Holly: That's nice! Especially considering he's a human.
Faust: Yes, and I appreciate everything Miss Anna has done for me.
Holly:(sweatdrop) That's great! I'm happy for you!
Faust: (smiles happily)
Holly: Well, good luck in the tournament!
Faust: Thank you.
(Faust exists the stage while some girls 'melt', but are given dirty looks by Eliza)
Holly:(sweatdrop) Wasn't that fun…next we'll have Ryu! Wooden sword Ryu I should say…
(Ryu struts in and random people in the audience do pausing claps. Holly shoots the audience an evil glare. The audience begins to clap and cheer (and whistle) like crazy)
Ryu: I'm glad I have so many adoring fans!
Random Person in the Crowd: (cough)
Holly: Of course! So, Ryu, how have you been?
Ryu: I'm very fine, thank you. And how have you, such a pretty lady, been?
Holly:(smiles with a sweatdrop)I'm…very good. Thank you for asking... but speaking of pretty ladies…I'd like to ask you about your thoughts on girls-since you seem to know oh so much about them.
Ryu: Oh yes! I love the ladies!
Holly: Do you have a memorable moment with a certain lady?
Ryu: Well, I do remember one lady. Her fiancé was not the nicest man to her…so Ryu had to go teach him a lesson…literally!
Holly: Do you like talking in the 3rd person…?
Ryu: Very much so…but I do not always talk in the 3rd person.
Holly: Yes, I can see that. Anyway, may I mention Lyserg? How do you feel about him being apart of the X-Laws?
Ryu: (frowns)My poor protégée! He is misguided! I hope he will soon understand that destroying your enemies completely does not exactly solve the problem.
Holly: Ah, I hope he heard that. You really seem to care about him.
Ryu: T T;;; Of course I do…weren't you listening…he's my protégée!
Holly: T T;;; you mean…was.
Ryu: Ah, but you know what they say. "Let it go, and if it comes back…it was meant to be."
Holly: Has Lyserg come back…?
Ryu: ;-; no… But he soon will! You just wait and see!
Holly: I hope so. Lastly, I'd like to ask you about the Shaman Tournament. What's this whole 'sacred hang' dream about?
Ryu: Oh, you see, Holly, I dream of a world where everyone is accepted, and we can safely travel anywhere and be able to hang out there without being kicked out.
Holly: Ah, so…like Americans can finally go back to Cuba…
Ryu: O.O Americans and Cuban's don't get along!
Holly: T T;;; yes…
Ryu: ; Oh, I did not know that…
Holly: They've hated each other now for almost 45 years. But anyway, it was nice having you here, Ryu. I wish you the best of luck in the tournament.
Ryu: Ok, but I'm going to hold you to that 'best of luck' thing.
Holly: Alright then.
((A/N: I know the American/Cuban thing because I LOVE history... In case you were wondering...I'm Canadian...so I'm not biased on the issue.))
(Ryo exists the stage while the audience chatters about the things discussed)
Holly: Ok, so far we've heard from Faust, Ryu, and of course, the crowd pleaser, Yoh Asakura…now let's here from his fiancée, Anna!
(Various male crowdie's become very nervous while female members of the crowd cheer Anna on as she quietly walks out onto the stage)
Holly: Hello, Anna. It's a pleasure to have you here.
Anna: Hello, Holly. I'm glad I could be here.
Holly: I'm glad you're glad.
(Various males sweat drop)
Holly: So Anna, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Anna: They'd better be worth my time.
Holly: Of course. Anna, what's your two cents on being Shaman Queen? How ambitious are you to get the title?
Anna: I'm very ambitious on becoming Shaman Queen, Holly. I will step on anyone that gets in my way.
Holly: I suppose that means Yoh?
Anna: What do you mean?
Holly: You're training program. You're training Yoh very hard so that he comes Shaman King, correct?
Anna: Yes. If he doesn't work hard then he'll be doing push-ups for the rest of his life!
Holly: So Yoh and yourself are the classic Macbeth and Lady Macbeth couple…well…the couple in the beginning of the play anyhow.
((A/N: If for some odd reason you don't know what Mcbeth is...it's Shakespeare. Read it! It's a really good play!))
Anna: I suppose you could see it that way.
Holly: Now here's a question that's been on everyone's mind… "Why are you so harsh?"
Anna: I'm not harsh. I'm just doing what needs to be done.
Holly: Ooooooookay. Now…how would you describe your relationship with Yoh? Is it a good one?
Anna: It's fine. I tell him what to do…he does it…if he doesn't…he's screwed. That's that.
Holly: But is there any love?
Anna: Ihere's plenty of it.
Holly: So are there any thoughts of children yet?
Anna: What? Maybe someday, but right now I'm more focus on becoming Shaman Queen.
Holly: Aye, I see. Well good luck to you on that. Thank you for being here.
(Various female audience members continue to cheer Anna on, while male members duck in their seats)
Holly: (to audience) and now it's time for another commercial break.
P'g: Alrighty! There's the first of 16 interivews! In the next chapter we'll be interveiwing Tamao, Hao, Lyserg, Marco and Jean. R&R!
