A/N: Sorry this took so long to post, I had to edit it, and then I was busy with other things. I'll probably update Inside the House next weekend, assuming I'm not too busy studying for finals, then over my break, I'll be working with my muse and hopefully getting some work done on my other fics. Once those are ready to post, I'll be updating a lot more frequently, but right now I'm trying to update just often enough to remind people I exist, but not so fast that I have nothing left to post before the new fics are ready. It's a delicate balance, but that's why I'm not updating very fast, and I'm sorry.
All the world's a fanfic, and all the humans and demons merely characters.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters used in this chapter, although I do own the ideas, much to my dismay… My mind took a road trip that somehow ended up in the poppy field… Don't ask. If these ideas seem similar to others that you have read or heard before, it is purely coincidental.
Unveiling Karasu
A/N: As I said, this is the product of a wandering mind. Don't mind me… it started with a random thought that maybe Karasu wasn't a person, but a character… And this chapter was born.
Karasu 1: Jack Sparrow
A scene of the Dark Tournament is being filmed.
"I think you've finally lost your mind. If you come any closer, you're a dead man," Karasu told Kurama.
"CUT! Take five, everybody," yelled the director.
"Finally! Let's get some rum!" exclaimed Karasu.
"Come on, you have that every day. What's wrong with coffee?" asked Kurama.
Karasu ripped off a mask and wig to reveal himself to be Jack Sparrow. "Coffee? You'll never be a rip-roaring pirate if you drink something as weak as coffee!"
"I'll try some Jack! You know, they aren't paying you nearly enough for the humiliation that you have to go through in this show," Yusuke said.
"Tell me about it, laddie! It's getting so a pirate can't earn a dishonest living anymore!" Jack exclaimed.
"Why aren't you pirating anymore?" Kurama queried.
"I'm on vacation… the Navy's after me again. I thought it was best to lay low awhile, get a quiet little temporary job in Japan… Just my luck, I had to end up in this twisted Anime…" Jack fell over after being kicked in the head by Yusuke.
"Twisted Anime, why you…" -.-### Yusuke was pissed off.
Will Turner randomly ran in. "Ahoy, Captain Sparrow!"
"Ahoy, Will! What's up, laddie?" Jack called.
"Captain, the Navy has arrived! They've come to arrest you! We must set sail immediately! Hurry, Captain!" Will cried.
"The Navy? Blast them, how do they do it? Sorry chaps, but I have to hoist anchor and sail away! Been nice working for you though!" He dashed off, followed closely by Will.
Yusuke and Kruama sweatdropped.
"Do you wanna tell the director that he needs to hire a new Karasu?" Kurama asked.
"Not really… He got lucky to get one… Karasu is supposed to be in love with you, you should tell him," Yusuke replied.
"No way, not doing it!" Kurama said.
"I'll fight you. Loser has to tell him!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"You're on!" Kurama yelled. They started fighting.
"Look at them fight. That is awesome! Well, better go tell the director that he needs to hire a new Karasu…" Kuwabara said, walking out.
Two minutes later…
The set blows up. Yusuke and Kurama stopped fighting.
"Well, I guess that solves our problem," Kurama said.
"Dang. Just when I had you well and truly whipped!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Ha! In your dreams!" Kurama laughed.
They walked out.
Kuwabara twitched. He was in much pain after being badly burnt by the explosion. "Um, guys? Little help here? Ow…"
The Director muttered to himself. "How dare that stupid bastard leave, he knew how hard it was to get someone to play Karasu, no respect, that's the problem with these actors, they have no loyalty, damn them all, grr, I'll get them…" He continued to swear to himself as more things blew up behind him.
Karasu 2: Sniper
"I think you've finally lost your mind. If you come any closer, you're a dead man," Karasu told Kurama.
"Cut!" the director exclaimed. "That's a wrap, people! Luckily for you lot, that's the end of the Karasu stuff, and the Dark Tournament! Tomorrow, on to the Chapter Black Saga! Sniper, make sure you cut your hair!"
"All right!" Karasu exclaimed. "Finally, I can get rid of this stupid mop! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!" He ran off to the dressing room, still laughing hysterically.
Half an hour later...
Sniper walked out of the dressing room with his trademark short hair. "Man, you have no idea how good it feels to get that mess off my head! The entire time we were filming that series, it felt like there was a giant raccoon on my head!"
Yusuke and Kuwabara started cracking up at that thought. Kurama peeked into Sniper's dressing room and saw a giant pile of hair three feet high. "My God… How long did it take to grow that?"
"About three years," Sniper replied.
Yusuke elbowed Kuwabara. "That… is a dedicated actor."
(A/N: Please someone tell me I'm not the only one who's noticed how similar Karasu and Sniper look…)
Karasu 3: Kurounue
"I think you've finally lost your mind. If you come any closer, you're a dead man," Karasu told Kurama.
"Cut!" the director exclaimed "That's enough for today people! Enjoy the rest of your day! See you all tomorrow!"
"Finally!" Karasu exclaimed, whipping off his mask, wig, and costume to reveal a very sexy ripped outfit. He pulled a giant tattered hat and placed it rakishly on his head. "How's a guy supposed to breathe with all this crap on? I'd like to beat up the guy that invented this character!"
"Are you all right, pal?" Kurama asked him. "I didn't mean to hit you with those rose petals."
"No big deal. I've had worse," Kurounue said, dusting off his hands.
"That Karasu is the most ridiculous character the writers have come up with yet," Kurama said, shaking his head.
"Tell me about it. I think they're just trying to humiliate you, me, and everyone unfortunate enough to be 'selected' (cough cough drafted cough) to play Karasu."
"On the other hand, his bombs are interesting weapons."
"Indeed. If he were a real person and not so… freaky… he would have made a valuable addition to our band of thieves and assassins."
"And yet, somehow, life goes on."
"So true."
"Cripes, people!" Hiei exclaimed. "Are you going to stand there gabbing all day or are we going to go get some ice cream?"
Kurama and Kurounue grinned evilly. "Stand here gabbing all day!"
Hiei got a huge tic mark and drew his katana. "DIE!"
Kurama and Kurounue's eyes got huge. "AAAHHHHH!" they screamed, running like mad.
"I want ice cream!" Hiei yelled after them.
"HELP! Mad fire demon! Run for your lives!" the two demon thieves yelled.
(A/N: I was listening to a CD with Monty Python dialogue. I was feeling weird. If you know what Monty Python is, you understand. If you don't, I feel very sorry for you poor deprived kids.)
Karasu 4: Random Fangirl
"I think you've finally lost your mind. If you come any closer, you're a dead man," Karasu told Kurama.
"Cut!" the director yelled. "Ok, people, that's a wrap! Next scene, from Chapter Black, Yusuke vs. Doctor! Let's go people, move it!"
"Phew, glad that's over," Kurama said, wiping his brow. "What do you think, Karasu?"
"I think… I LOVE YOU!"
Kurama's eyes widened and he took several steps backwards. "What the hell? Karasu, that's only for the show! Get away from me, you scary gay person!"
"Gay?" Karasu yelped. "Gay? You think I'm gay?"
Kurama stared blankly. "Well, duh. You're hitting on me and you're a guy, so I'd say you're gay… Unless you have another definition that you'd like to spring on me…"
Karasu started tearing up. "Y… You… You think I'm… a guy?"
Kurama looked completely freaked out. "Aren't you…?"
Karasu whipped off his mask and wig to reveal… a fangirl! "NO! I'm a girl! And I love you!" she screamed, glomping Kurama.
Kurama started twitching. "You're one of THEM! NOOOOOOO!" he screamed, breaking away from the girl and running away.
"KURAMA! COME BACK!" the fangirl screamed, chasing after him.
Hiei shook his head. "They will do anything to get close to him…"
Yusuke's eye twitched. "I guess the director gave up on keeping the correct gender…" He glared suspiciously at the other people.
"What are you saying, Urameshi?" Kuwabara demanded. "Are you suggesting that…?"
"If he did that with Karasu, why not one of us?" Yusuke exclaimed. Everyone started freaking out as they imagined the many different scenarios from gender-bending comedies.
The director rolled his eyes. "Oh, shut your traps! I was desperate for another Karasu and she was the only one who I could force to take the job without resorting to physical violence. Everyone else is the correct gender! Now shut up and get back to work!"
"Phew…" the Cast exhaled in relief.
"HELP ME!" Kurama screamed, running past them.
"KURAMA-SAMA!" the fangirl shrieked.
Karasu 5: Karasu… -.-
"I think you've finally lost your mind. If you come any closer, you're a dead man," Karasu told Kurama.
"Cut!" the director screamed. "Take five you stupid bastards! I hate you all!"
"He needs to take a chill pill," Yusuke muttered.
"Maybe if you would stop firing you Spirit Gun at the really expensive cameras and actually learn you lines, he would be in a better mood," Hiei suggested dryly.
"Oh shut it. You're so full of crap!" Yusuke exclaimed.
Hiei got a giant tic mark. "Do you have a death wish?"
Kuwabara decided to attempt a distraction before there was bloodshed. "So, who's playing Karasu today? Heath Ledger?" He was promptly killed by all Heath Ledger fans, including the authoress."
Karasu wandered over. "What do you mean, who's playing me? I'm myself, as usual, just like the rest of you. Oh, Kurama…"
Kurama twitched. "You stay away from me, you stupid bastard."
END!
A/N: Well, that was fun. What can I say; I have no life, just my computer and my poppy field. But it was fun to write. Now I'm thinking I should try to cut back on the Mountain Dew… But I doubt it. But yeah, wow… I wrote this a long time ago… this was before Dark Knight came out, and before Heath Ledger died! (cries) But this is why I needed to make this fic cuz some of this stuff is seriously old. Read and review! Ja ne!
