"Welcome to 'Anime characters come to life'. Today we have two very special guests. First we have Kouga from Inuyasha and later in tonight's show we will be joined by Takewaki Kuno from Ranma 1/2! Everyone please welcome Kouga the wolf prince!" the hostess called out, cheers echoing from the audience as Kouga took the stage waving to everyone.

A rather loud, 'marry me Kouga!' was called out from the back of the room and Kouga turned toward the woman who had yelled and shook his head. "Already told ya, Ayame, I'm spoken for. Give it a rest," he told her before turning his attention back to the hostess with a heart stopping grin and taking his seat next to her.

"Good evening Kouga. For those that have been watching, there seems to be a common theme with the members of the Inuyasha and Ranma ½ cast lately. Them going on strike from fan fiction because they didn't like some of the things that had been going on in them, and I've gotta ask you. Are you of the same mind?" the hostess inquired after everyone had calmed down and she turned to the still smirking wolf next to her.

"Well it's more of an ultimatum rather than just going on strike. I want more of a following. Kagome's my woman, yet there are a hundred times more fanfics based around the mutt and his ice prince brother with her, than with me.

"Now mutt-face I can understand, since that pairing is at least considered 'cannon'," Kouga said giving air quotes as he did, "They have history together, she released him from the tree, she depends on him, they are best friends and she's always around him since I can't be there.

"So it's understandable, just barely though, that fans would pair them together. But Sesshoumaru? That really makes no sense. For starters he hates humans and having an adult female around is completely different than keeping a little girl as a pet. He is very domineering and she openly defies everyone and everything.

"She would never summit to him and he would never allow her to go against any decision he made. And yet this pairing has probably the largest following of any Inuyasha couple, cannon or fannon. Sites, such as A Single Spark and Dokuga, have cropped up promoting this pairing and yet Kagome and I, the real couple, have very few complete fanfics.

"So the way I see it, fans have two choices: Either start writing, and finishing, stories with Kagome and I as the main pairing or deal with me going on strike," Kouga declared as he crossed his arms and glared at the crowd.

"Alright...well that's definitely something for the fans to keep in mind. It's almost time for the next guest, but I have one last question to ask. What do you think your worst pairing was?" the hostess inquired after noticing it was almost time for Kuno.

"Easy. Anyone who isn't Kagome," Kouga answered immediately before standing and making his way off of the stage. The hostess shook her head for a moment before noticing Kuno was already making his way on stage.

"Eh...Please welcome our next guest, Takewaki Kuno," the hostess instructed causing the audience to start booing. Kuno stopped for a moment at the sound, looking confused before smiling at the crowd.

"I seest thou share in my pain at this injustice and boo at thee curs behind it, but alas, I already have Akane Tendo and my Pigtail girl and nay am I in need of any more suiters. But I understand how thy all could have easily fallen for me and so I, Takewaki Kuno, shall be benevolent and allow thou to have me whilst thou dream," Kuno told the audience, causing a confused hush to settle over them.

The hostess simply stared at him in confusion and amazement, that he had completely misunderstood the booing, as he took his seat next to her. "Good evening, Takewaki Kuno. As I mentioned to our earlier guest, Kouga, there seems to be a common theme among members of the Inuyasha and Ranma ½ cast of going on strike due to certain conditions in the fan fiction community, and I've gotta ask if you are of the same mind."

"Wouldst a great army flee thine battlefield simply because thee battle was not currently in thine favor? Nay, thou wouldst call upon thine own strength to turn it to thee. I shalt do thee same, if such a need doth arise, but alas, thee need doth not exist at this time. If thee cur Saotome doth go on strike, he shalt not be able to interfere with my beloved Akane Tendo or Pigtailed girl again, leaving them free to run into my arms as thee wish to do."

"Right, but what if they, Akane Tendo and the Pigtailed girl, are currently on strike at the moment as well. How would that effect your plans?" the hostess inquired, not really sure if she wanted to listen to whatever his answer might be.

"If my beloved Akane Tendo and Pigtailed girl have gone on strike, it wouldst simply be to get away from Saotome and once thee despicable cur is indisposed they shalt have no further need to remain on strike and wilt run to me. Like thee fluttering of moths' wings drawn toward thee candle's flame, so shalt my beloved be drawn to me and our hearts shalt beat in time as we become one," Kuno insisted, causing the hostess to channel Sesshoumaru for a moment and raise an eyebrow at him.

"Alright, moving along then. The other question I have been asking my guests is who they think their worst pairing was. Who do you think was the worst pairing you were put in in the fan fiction community?" the hostess inquired, deciding the change the topic before she became any more confused by his words.

"As I hath only been paired with my beloveds and am unable to decide which one wouldst be better and which worse, I am unable to answer thy question," Kuno replied, looking rather serious, as if he had spent a lot of time trying to figure out which girl he liked more.

"You've only ever been paired with Akane and the Pigtailed girl? Wait, what about the you and Nabiki pairing? Surely that pairing has for more of a fallowing then either of the other two." the hostess insisted, even further confused.

"Nabiki Tendo? Nay thy is mistaken. Tendo is not more than a business associate, therefore a pairing between thee two of us is not possible. Only Akane Tendo and my Pigtailed girl, my two beloveds, art allowed in a pairing with me."

"Okay so you don't like being paired with Nabiki, got it. So I guess we'll just say that she's your worst pairing. I do believe that is all we have time for, tune in next time for Inuyasha and Mousse's interview," the hostess said, deciding it would be best to end the interview as soon as possible.

Next to her, Kuno rose from his seat before turning back to the hostess. "As I hath told thee, I hath only ever been paired with Akane Tendo and my Pigtailed girl, I knowst not what nonsense thy speak of with Nabiki Tendo, but as I hath not ever approved of a fan fic with that pairing, no true one exists. As I must approve all, surely even someone with thou low intelligence wouldst at least know thus," Kuno told her before turning back and walking off of the stage, leaving the hostess sitting there with her mouth hanging open.

"Pompous jack...," the hostess started before the screen cut to black, efficiently cutting off her insult.
