Shi: Okay, I dunno if I'll be really good at this, but I'm willing to give it a go!
Aki: Cool! Hey, if you hurry, we'll have the first two chapters out in one night!
Shi: That's what I'm planning on, lol. XP
Aki: And remember, no matter how much we want to—and I mean REALLY want to—we don't own Inuyasha... -grumbles-
Shi: Poor Aki.
Aki: Shut it and start typing... -scowls-
Shi: -rolls eyes- Alright, here we go!
"And welcome to the next round of.. Shikon Idol! Up next we have the famous hanyou, Inuyasha!" Ash exclaimed brightly into the microphone as she stood on stage and the audience of randomly selected anime fans from everywhere over the world clapped. Then, crickets began to chirp as the claps fell silent.
Tala came out and whispered into Ash's ear, "I can't find him... He ran off somewhere!"
Ash growled, and she glared around, yelling into her microphone, "Mutt! Get your lazy arse out here NOW!"
Everyone—demon, human, and hanyou alike—flinched at the loud shout. "Did you have to scream so loud?" Tala asked annoyed, nursing her ringing ears as best she could as she scowled at the dog demon beside her.
"Yes," Ash answered distracted, and her sharp sense of smell and hearing picked up on Inuyasha as he skidded from backstage to clumsily halt beside Ash and Tala. "About time, Mutt," Ash growled, the hairs on the back of her neck bristling in anger.
"Shut up, wench. I'm here now, aren't I?" Inuyasha snapped and engaged in a glaring contest with Ash.
"You may be here now, but if you're late, you get disqualified," Ash said matter-of-factly and began to annouce the disqualification, but Inuyasha stopped her.
"I was just going to the bathroom! Give me a break, wench!" Inuyasha hollered. Everyone burst out laughing, and the hanyou's face flushed. Even Tala and Ash had tears of laughter dancing at the corner of their eyes.
"Alright, we won't disqualify you," Tala giggled and snatched the microphone from Ash, who sputtered an indignant 'hey'. "And now we present the one, the only... Inuyasha!" There was a round of applause, and Ash and Tala took their seats, Shippou hopping into his seat as well.
Inuyasha hurried over to press play then gracefully hopped back on stage just as American Idiot started to play. Twirling the microphone in his right hand, he mentally prepared himself for it, then on cue, he began to sing.
Shippou watched the hanyou closely, taking in every note and the way Inuyasha's voice flowed while Tala tapped her foot along with the beat and listened carefully. Ash quietly hummed with it; she liked this song, but she would wince every now and then for some reason.
The song came to a close, and Inuyasha looked around uncomfortably, waiting for someone to say something. Again, Shippou was the first judge to jump to it. "That song suits you, Inuyasha, but you need a little more work on those low notes..." Everyone blinked; the little fox demon had acted seriously about being a judge so far, and it was a little unnerving to have a little kit be such a good judge.
"I think you did well," Tala took her turn to critique, "although your timing was off in some places. Other than that, it was wonderful."
Next came Ash's turn, and everyone waited with baited breath. "I like that song, and look what you do! Go and ruin it! You're voice is all wrong for this song! What a disgrace! I mean, come on!" she thundered, glaring up at the "mutt," as she had nicknamed him.
Inuyasha's ears flattened on his head, and he let out a quiet growl and stomped off backstage, tossing the microphone back and "accidently" hitting Ash on top of her head. Tala had to restrain a fuming Ash from going backstage to kill a certain hanyou, and Shippou scooped up the microphone and closed the show out by saying, "Well, this was an.. interesting round. We'll be back next time with more acts! We have Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Naraku left. See you next time!"
Shi: Alright, some votes maybe? Or song ideas?
Aki: Yeah, both would be good.
Shi: Anyways, see you in the next round!
Aki and Shi: TTYL!
