Shi: Alright, voting is closed until we get performances moving again.
Aki: Right.
Shi: Oh, and we don't own Inuyasha.
Aki: Or Sesshy... -sad sigh- -grumbles-
Shi: Anyways, onto the chapter!
"Alright," Tala shouted into the microphone, "the voting is closed for now, and we have a three way tie between Kagome, Inuyasha, and Naraku!" As she spoke, the three walked out to the crowd cheering, some booing at Naraku though.
"And for the tiebreaker, we have—oh you guys are going to LOVE this—Tug 'O 'War!" Ash exclaimed, holding a second microphone in her hand as she drug a big long rope out on stage.
"What?" Kagome shrieked. She thought this was supposed to be like American Idol or whatever. Why were they playing tug of war?
Naraku and Inuyasha both looked very confused. "What's Tug 'O 'War?" they asked at the same time.
"Basically," Tala laughed, "Inuyasha, you and Kagome are going to get on one side, and Naraku's going to get on the other. When we say go, then you start pulling the rope. Whoever crosses that middle line," she pointed to a long line between the two sides, "loses and they are off the show!"
"How come I'm going up against BOTH of them?" Naraku growled angrily. It didn't really seem fair.
"Because," Ash shrugged, "we're the judges, and we say so." She threw a smirk at Naraku, who scowled but fell silent anyway, mentally cursing the dog demoness, not even realizing Tala could hear all his thoughts. She could have easily told Ash, but then Ash might have killed Naraku.
"Now," Shippo said and stood behind the line the rope made, "get ready." The three grudgingly took their places and waited for the judges to get them started. "On your mark, get set," the little kit began slowly, and the three competitors tensed.
"GO!" Shippo, Tala, and Ash called out at the same time in a loud boom.
Immediately, there was a tug of war going on. Inuyasha and Kagome pulled the rope in their direction, and Naraku, furious at having it two-against-one, tugged harshly at his end of the rope. The crowd cheered and booed and made a ruckus, and so it continued for a couple minutes until...
Kagome and Inuyasha were yanked forward and landed with a loud thud.. over the line. "And, in a bit of an upstart," Tala said finally after the shocked silence overtook everything, "it looks like Naraku is our winner!"
"Sorry, Kagome, Inuyasha," Shippo sighed, "but you two are off the show..."
"What?" Inuyasha snarled. He couldn't have lost to Naraku. No way.
"That's not fair!" Kagome yelled scowling at Ash and Tala.
"Oh, yes it is," Naraku sneered, "I was outnumbered, and I still won. It's ALL fair." He smirked at the two, who just glared daggers at him.
"Anyways, Kagome and Inuyasha will each receive one of these cool t-shirts!" Ash shouted brightly and showed off a black shirt with a picture of the Shikon Jewel on the back, with the writing Shikon Idol on the front of the shirt. She handed them their shirts then shooed the two grumbling people off stage.
"Congratulations, Naraku," Tala said, boos echoing throughout the whole stadium. Naraku didn't seem to care though. He just smirked and made his way back stage again, a haughty air about him.
"Alright, that's all for right now," Shippo told the audience.
"Yeah, performances will start up again next time," Ash piped up into her microphone.
"Bye," they said, the three judges waving as the scene faded out of view.
Shi: Haha, tug of war.. that's great.
Aki: I know, isn't it? -laughs-
Shi: Well, we have two voted off now. What'll happen next?
Aki: Don't tell them! They have to wait till the next chapter!
Shi: Oh, okay, lol. Ta-ta all!
Aki: Yeah, bye!
