A/N Sorry for the long wait and all, but I had very little time during my last break and I have very little time during the school terms to update, so I might not get another chapter up anytime before next Christmas...

Warnings- Let's see, there's the old one of violence, both verbal and physical. Add to that OC bashing and OOC-ness as well as slight AU (Including myself in a story that I am typing) and extended hoedown madness. Maybe a little language and bad manners stuff. Enjoy

Chapter Nine- Bashing Melee/ Hoedown

Instead of sitting at the desk with the coffee mug as usual, Mina stood on stage with the other characters. I (being the authoress) sat in her normal place, replacing the black coffee mug with a golden one with dragon details on the handle. I shifted the cards, seeing "Hoedown" as the next planned event. "Ah, you all are going to do a special hoedown. This hoedown has been extended to include Mina." I said to the male characters with a bat of my eyes.

"Why is Mina here on stage anyway?" Joey asked, growling and staring at the subject darkly.

"Well, Wheeler, she requested to be included in this particular game because the subject for this extended hoedown is 'Original Characters you love to hate.' Besides, I know the one person that fits that bill to the 'T'..." I elaborated, looking at the audience.

"Hasharu..." Replied the audience, as if on cue.

"Exactly, you all are going to do the 'Hasharu Hoedown' except... Oh crap, we don't have a pianist." At this, the camera focused on the empty stool in front of the piano at the right hand side of the stage (the audience's right, not the characters').

"So... we need a pianist in order to play this game and you don't have one... Which means we don't have to play it." Joey stated quizzically, almost hopefully.

"Don't get your hopes up, Joey, we have one coming" Mina said from the right most position in spite of the others hopes.

At this the double doors behind the audience opened to reveal Laura, the second OC to be incorporated in this chapter ((this is mentioned for a reason, bear with me)). "Laura, you're just in time take a seat at the piano and let's get this thing started." I said to the entering blond. Laura obeyed, taking a seat on the stool and began playing the hoedown music.

"Oh well..." Joey muttered, shrugging as the music filled the auditorium.

((The verses are separated by "..." ))

Yugi stepped forward and started things off with "I don't really know Hasharu... But I heard she's kinda mean... In that case I don't want to meet her... For I fear she'd cause a scene... But what I don't get, no matter how hard I try... If Hasharu is so tough and all... Why has she never been forced to sing a Hoedown on the fly?"

Yami stepped forward as his "aibou" took a step back and continued with "I've met Hasharu... I'll tell ya she's the worst... I don't want to ever see her again... Being around her make me curse... The whole thing is... And I'll tell you the truth... I can't stand her... Or her yami to boot."

Joey took over as Yami steeped back into the line "Hasharu isn't so bad... she thinks she's so tough... But if you ask me... I'd say she just rough... I really think... that she's just misunderstood... Because everyone teases her... And she does what she thinks she should."

Dartz shrugged softly and stepped forward "I've never heard of this Hasharu girl... I hear she's quite the scamp... But according to her rivals... She's nothing but a tramp... But if she's so bad... Why haven't I heard... I mean, come on... Someone tell the little bird."

Mina smirked softly and took her turn "I met Hasharu a couple of years ago... Way back then, she was as good as gold... I don't know what happened and I don't know why... Now all Hasharu is is someone that doesn't do what she's told... But back when we were friends... We had lots of fun... But now all that's gone... I don't know who's at fault, but I'm not the one!"

At this the entire cast on stage repeated "But I'm not the one." After this the double doors came open with a slam to reveal a very irate Hasharu.

"What the hell is going on here, I go to get the authoress some more hot water for her tea and this is how she repays me... A hoedown making fun of me..." Hasharu yells, glaring at yours truly.

"It's not my fault... It was requested... To be honest, I never planned it to go this far." I said in my own defense.

"Yea right, you know what, according to the OC pact; Section 9, Subsection B- Any Original character can take over a story if and only if the authoress and two original characters are present in any one chapter."

"What are you going to do to us Hasharu?" I asked, not arguing the contract the OC union brought up.

"With you, dear authoress, not a thing, but with Mina, I am going to exact my revenge" Hasharu replied after which an evil cackle emanated from her lips. A long rope came into her hands as she tied up yours truly, officially taking over the story by force...

---To Be Continued

Secondary A/N- So, this is not exactly what I planned for this chapter, absolute bashing followed by me being tied to my chair... Ah, you're asking how I'm typing an Authoress's note, well, tune in next chapter to find out... And leave a review stating how Hasharu should exact her revenge on those that have most wronged her :). With no further distractions, I bid you a fond farewell for this chapter.
