Hi! (dodges daggers) Sorry about the ubberly long lateness! No idea to do the chapter…Oh and for those who saw the author's note, I remove it and I've decided to continue with this. Yep! Thanks Evanescence's Dark Angel for the idea! This chap is dedicated to you and for those who reviewed and also gave me more ideas! Oh and since chapter 2 is screwed, I'll fix it eventually
I hope this chapter is good enough while I try to write the 4th one. Ok, on with it!
Disclaimer- I don't own YYH…darn it!
Chapter 3- Testing the Music Skillz
"What? Why are you all saying that?" asked Karasu confused at the sudden reaction of everyone else about what Suzuka said about 'tinkering'
"He said 'tinkered'!" they cried as if they saw a ghost.
Karasu scoffed "So?"
"So? SO? That means he was doing one of his crazy experiments!" Shishi panicked
"What so bad about them?"
"Oh ye must here this, Karasu! Lately he made the toilet bigger and every time anyone sits they fall inside the toilet! Last time that happened to me, I ended up in the sea after I got accidentally flushed away! Whoooo! That was a wild rush flushing experience passin'through and hittin' the tubes! Boo-yaah!" exclaimed Jin fast with his ears pointing up and down in excitement like he was in a roller coaster. All of them had 'he's wacko' look
"And it took a week to find windy. I just sometimes can't understand him" added Touya with a 'why me' look and tone
"I don't see why you're thrilled about it, Jin! From what I saw when I was inside the toilet yesterday was the mother of all holes, the black hole!" cried Rinku complaining, waving his arms. Karasu laughed and Chu now talked
"Oh listen to this one, Karasu mate! The other time he tinkered Shishi's blow dryer and his hair dryer. The blow dryer wasn't like it used to…"
"How is it?" he asked
"It was like a flamethrower! Blowing fire like it everywhere every time ya turn it on at the button 'Dry and Boom'!" exclaimed Jin and Karasu laughed harder
"And what about the hair dryer?"
"It was like a barbecue, microwave, oven and heater! All in one! But hey! At least we had barbecue while summer, oven to cook the turkey in thanksgiving and as a heater by Christmas! Oh and microwave for the popcorn" Rinku explained and Shishi butt in talking
"And get this? Touya was melting! He was 'Oooh! I'm melting!' like the witch from Wizard of Oz!" now everyone laughed except the ice master with his vein popped in fury
"Shut up Shishi! I wasn't melting! I was sweating like hell like I was in a sauna all day and I was wearing shorts and sometimes towels by those times!" he yelled angrily
"Boy this tinkering has more issues than a newspaper or magazine"
"You're telling all of us"
Now to end the tinkering chat, the ex clown fighter came down stairs to the dining room. Pulling a big wheel cart by the handler with a big white blanket and cleared his throat. This caught everyone attention and they turned to look at Suzuka
"Attention M-Mart shoppers! Like I said earlier I have been tinkering with my old but never seemed before invention. I started this during the hippies era. I've been tinkering here, tinkering there, tinkering that-"
"We get the whole tinkering process! Get on with it!" exclaimed the samurai impaintently
"All right, all right, angry owl shopper…" Suzuka muttered and Shishi heard it
"I heard that!" but he got ignored
"Now introducing my new, yet old, improved and never seemed before invention had I tinkered lately!"
"Oh no…"
"Ta-da!" Suzuka exclaimed as he pulled the big blanket aside. Everyone had a 'Huh?' look at the scene before them. The invention was almost every kind of instruments they can find at a music store.
"Impressive huh? Well what do you all think?" said the clown grinning
"Hold on. Let's try them first" suggested Touya carefully and all of them stood up from their seats and grabbed an instrument. They tested every one of 'em by playing random tunes and no catastrophe occurred as they expected as usual. They now tested the last instruments they had on their hands
"Well?"
"I gotta hand it to ya, Suzuka! This electric piano works like a charm!" exclaimed Rinku playing an adrenaline tune
"I'm down with Rinku! This banjo rocks! 10 points, mate!" complimented Chu
"Ditto! This bag pipe is boo-yaah!" complimented also Jin as he played a loud blowing-away annoying tune
"I agreed! This saxophone leaves me in cliffhanger!" now Karasu complimented as he played a romantic tune
Suzuka grinned at the compliments and he looked now at the remaining two who yet haven't said anything "Well, Shishi and Touya? I haven't heard from you two"
"I hate to admit it but this guitar is non-dangerous!" said Touya as he played a note
"Hate to admit but this gong is the bomb! It leaves me bald!" said Shishiwakamaru as he hit the gong with the stick
"Yaay! My years of tinkering finally paid off!" the ex clown fighter cheered
"Well now that we have instruments, let's see our abilities in them for the band" said Karasu, they all nodded and sat in the chairs
"Rinku, you go first" he commanded
"Right. I only can play the electric piano and the piano"
"Use the electric one" he nodded and with that he grabbed the instrument from early again and he played a fast tune. He stopped and they all applauded at the yo-yo master.
"Thanks y'all! Fame here we come!" he exclaimed and sat again
"Impressive! Chu you're next" said Karasu
"Ok. I can play the drums, trumpet, banjo and the harmonica. The rest I kinda suck at em"
"Play the drums" the drunken master did as told and grabbed the drums and played fast as a drummer of any rock band and style. He finished and they applauded and whooped to him as Rinku
"Told ye, lads!" and he sat
"Blood-rushing! Jin, you're up"
"I can play the flute, harmonica, the bag pipe, banjo and the ass-kicking bass guitar!"
"Play the bass guitar" Karasu indicated and Jin did so. He played a fast one. He stopped and the gave him a round of applause
"Weee! I feel a star already!" Jin said happily, wiggling his ears while going back to his seat
"Great! Suzuka, you're up next"
"Uh, I can't" he hesitated
"Aw why not?" said Rinku
"Because I hardly and barely play anything…"
"Suzuka, I remember you playing as a DJ once" said the bird demon samurai
"That's it. You can play as a DJ in certain songs" said Karasu
"But what'll I do in rock songs?" Suzuka asked
"You can be the dresser and maybe hairdresser?" implied Chu
"Yes good idea! I'll do that!" Suzuka chirped
"Then it's settled. Touya, your turn" said Karasu to the ice master
"Uh, I play the guitar, harp, and harmonica…" Touya got cut off by Jin
"Oh yeah! Touya's a great vocabularist!" implied Jin that everyone sweat dropped at the last word
"Vocalist!" exclaimed everyone else except him in unison, correcting him.
"Right" Jin slapped his forehead "Touya's a great vocalist that he used to be on the shinobi chorus back at shinobi learning days!"
"Yes…" Touya admitted in embarrassment
"Yeah…I think we'll need vocalist. One or two though…" Karasu said thoughtfully
"I agree…" said Rinku, Chu and Suzuka agreeing
"I'll take the vocals then" accepted the ice master
"All right Toy! Show em your vocals, singing 'I love you' like in Barney or the Teletubbies theme or the Spongebob Squarepants as an example!" said Jin, encouraging Touya to sing
Everyone turn to look at the ice master, expecting him to sing.
Touya looked like he wanted to hurl "Uh maybe another day, Jin…"
"Okie! I understand" he said in understanding
'So Touya's good in vocals? We'll see about that! I, the great Shishiwakamaru, am the greatest in vocals than…that ice cube for crying out loud!' Shishi thought angrily, balling his fists while glaring at Touya
"Now and last, Shishiwa-" Karasu got cutt off by…
"I'm the greatest when it comes to vocals, thank you very much!" he beamed "Infact, I'm gonna do an example!" Shishi now grinned
"Oh no!" said Suzuka, realizing at what Shishi ment "Everyone grab your earplugs and put them on!" he warned then and they did so, still confused.
And with that, Shishi cleared his throat and took a deep breath before singing with all his might
"AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEI WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUU! OOOOOOUUHH! I WILL ALWAYS… LOVE YOUOOOOOOO!"
This kind of singing it was so loud that the earplugs stopped working, their house rumbled, every glass broke and even their teeth! Hell, this was loud enough to produce an earthquake in Makai, Ningenkai and Spirit World!
"AAH! IT BURNS!" Touya, Suzuka, Rinku, Chu, Jin and Karasu cried with their hands in their ears, since the earplugs went out of service. Shishi finally stopped his…singing
"Oh sorry…" Shishi apologized "But I can still be a vocalist, right?"
"You can be one as long you don't sing like that!" they cried once again and Shishi cheered, dancing happily
"Yaaay!"
'Note to self: I must give Shishi singing lessons on high notes or else he can produce earthquakes…A.S.A.P.! ' thought Touya while he and everyone were recovering from their sudden deafness
Ooookay…I think this chap sucked. Attention! On the next chapter, they'll be singing! Yup! I need a song suggestion! It has to be any kind of rock song!
Laterish!
