::The entire stage is decked out in red, green, gold and silver decorations. On one end sits a very large Christmas tree covered in lights and sparkly things, with many presents stacked underneath it. The same crimson-colored chairs were lined up in a row with the mahogany table in front, and the large television screen was mounted on the wall (though nobody ever seemed to be using it). The cast members were seated in the chairs, each one dressed in red and green (though very tastefully--nothing tacky here!). Even Hiei was wearing a red headband and a hunter-green tank top, though he still stubbornly kept the baggy black pants he always wore. But there seemed to be one cast member missing...::
Audience: ::claps and cheers loudly as the camera focuses in on the group::
Kurama: ^__^ "Hello everyone, and welcome to our Christmas Special Spectacular!"
Suki: "Oh man...who came up with that lame title?"
Kurama: "I believe it was Kade."
Kade: ::runs out onto stage wearing a big grin, showing off the green streaks she had put in her hair for the occasion:: "Hi guys! I couldn't miss the Christmas Special Spectacular! This is going to be a great episode!"
Rose: ::nods, causing the small blue creature sitting on her head to bob up and down:: "Yup, it sure is!"
Puu: "Puuuu puuu!"
Rose: "Hey, yeah! Where IS my fool of a brother anyway?"
Oni: "What kind of difficulties are we talking about?"
Kade: "Oh, you'll see..." ::turns to face the backstage area:: "Come on out, Urameshi!"
Yusuke's Voice: "NO FREAKIN' WAY!"
Jesscheaux: "Why not? What's the matter?"
Kade: ::smirks:: "He's just being shy! I had him dress up in the CUUUUTEST outfit!"
Rose: "Ooh, now I GOTTA see this! Come on out, bro!"
Yusuke: "Are you people deaf? I said NO! N-O! NO!"
Suki: "What's the matter, are you scared?"
Kuwabara: Yeah, Urameshi, quit being such a baby and get out here!"
Yusuke's Voice: "It's too embarrassing! I'm not coming out, so you can just forget it!"
Rose: ::throws a juggling ball backstage::
::CLONK!::
Yusuke: ::swears and moans in pain::
Rose: ::grins:: "Direct hit!"
Kurama: "Come on out, Yusuke, we will not laugh at you."
Jesscheaux: "Speak for yourself, Kurama!"
Kade: "Oh, that's it." ::marches backstage and grabs the stubborn Spirit Detective by the hand:: "Come ON!" ::drags him out onto the stage and everyone can now see that Yusuke is dressed in a Santa suit--white beard, hat, glasses and all::
Audience: ::starts laughing::
Yusuke: "Ohhhh MAN! This is almost as bad as Teapot-Freakboy..." [AN: *wink wink*]
Kade: ::pushes him into one of the chairs:: "Have a seat, Saint Nick."
Rose: ::grinning wickedly, she runs up and jumps into her brother's lap:: "Why hello there, Santa! I've been real good this year, and I made a list of all the things I want for Christmas!"
Yusuke: -__- "That's nice to know, little girl, but all you're getting this year is a big fat honking lump of COAL!"
Rose: ::smacks him upside the head:: "What a mean Santa!"
Jesscheaux: "Yeah, Santa's supposed to be jolly and nice...you know, the exact opposite of Hiei."
Hiei: "Hn." ::glares::
Kuwabara: "Yeah Urameshi, you really have to work on your acting. Where's the hearty 'ho-ho-ho'?"
Jesscheaux: "Right! You have to BE Santa, Yusuke. You ARE Santa!" ::laughs::
Yusuke: "Go ahead, laugh it up. That's right, it's just SO funny, isn't it? Well you're all dead after this show is over!"
Rose: "No, you love us! You know you do..."
Yusuke: ::grumbles::
Oni: ::looks around:: "You know what, I think this place is missing something..." ::gets up and runs backstage to retrieve something::
Kurama: "Oh dear...I certainly hope she isn't going to bring out any more Sake..."
Kuwabara: ::smiles, remembering the previous episode:: "Yeah, you wouldn't want to get drunk two shows in a row, would you?"
Jesscheaux: ::tries to hold in her laughter, but fails:: "Bwahahaha! We have plenty of photographs to remember it by!"
Rose: ::pats her new digital camera:: "Yup!"
Kade: ::laughs:: "Poor guys, they just can't catch a break with all these women around! By the way, did you people check out the Christmas tree yet? The producer bought us all presents! Isn't that really nice of him? ...Or her...come to think of it, I don't think I've ever actually MET the producer..."
All: O.O
Kurama: "How is that possible?"
Kade: ::shrugs:: "Dunno. But whoever he is, he got us all a present! What a nice thing to do!"
Jesscheaux: "Yeah!"
Suki: ::rubs her hands together:: "Oh yeah, presents!"
Hiei: ::scowls:: "Hn. Pointless holiday..."
Yusuke: "Hey Hiei, don't you and Juu-Kun have ningens to annihilate?"
Kuwabara: "You'd think they'd be all out of stuff to destroy by now..."
Suki: "Yeah, what's up with that?"
Hiei: "Hn."
Juu-Kun: "As much as we keep slaying them, those bakas just keep coming back." ::grins sadistically:: "But that only means even more killing for us."
Kuwabara: O.O "Man, you're pretty creepy, you know that?"
Juu-Kun: ::stares at him, wondering what kinds of evil things he should do to him::
Jesscheaux: ::holds up the fist that has the 15 carat diamond ring on the finger:: "Don't you dare, you jerk! You leave my fiance alone! And just so you know, I'm going to get you for what you did to my sweetie on the last show!"
Juu-Kun: ::smirks and doesn't answer::
Kade: "Come on everyone, it's Christmas! We're all supposed to be happy and cheerful, and love each other! ...Oh man, that sounded mega corny."
Oni: ::runs back out to the stage waving a familiar-looking plant with red berries and green leaves:: "I found it!" ::hangs it up on the wall beside the Christmas tree::
Yusuke: O.O "You're kidding me. Mistletoe?"
Kade: "Good thinking, Oni! That's exactly what this place needed. It'll come in handy for later on..." ::grins wickedly::
Guys: O.O
Kurama: "I do not like that look she is giving us..."
Yusuke: ::shudders:: "Me neither..."
Rose: ::stands up with her camera:: "I'm gonna go take a break for a while."
Kade: "Where ya going?"
Rose: "Oh nowhere special, really." ::hides a smile::
Jesscheaux: "Are you alright?"
Rose: ^_^ "Sure. I'll be back soon!" ::skips off stage and backflips out of sight::
Kuwabara: "You sure got one hyper sister, Yusuke."
Yusuke: -__- "I know. She's a never-ending ball of energy."
Oni: "Yeah, she is...I like her!"
Yusuke: ::mumbling:: "You would..."
Oni: "What was that, Santa-boy?"
Yusuke: "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all."
Suki: "I think it's time to introduce the Special Guests, you guys."
Kade: "Right. Well, introduce them Suki!"
Suki: "Alright, sure. Today's Special Guests are none other than Kenshin and Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin! C'mon out, guys."
::Theme music plays while Sanosuke and Kenshin come strolling out to the stage. Kenshin is still carrying his sword and wearing his trademark pink shirt, while Sano's shirt still has the symbol for "bad" on the back of it. They casually wave to the crowd and take their seats::
Kenshin: ^^ "Good afternoon, everyone."
Sano: "Yeah, what he said."
Kenshin: "It's great to be on such a fine show, that it is."
Kurama: "Why thank you, Kenshin. That is quite kind of you."
Kenshin: "You're very welcome, Kurama. I've heard good things about you, that I have." ^^
Kurama: "And I of you, of course."
Suki: "Gah! They're so...polite!"
Kade: ::twitches:: "Can't...take...it..." ::laughs:: "I'm kidding. What's up, Sano, how ya been?"
Sano: "Not too bad. Had a good fight here and there, so it's been alright."
Jesscheaux: "Paid your tab yet?"
Sano: O.O;;
Kade: "I'm betting we can take that as a big fat 'no', huh?"
Jesscheaux: ::laughs::
Kuwabara: "Is it time for the fanmail yet?"
Kurama: ::checks his watch:: "Yes, I do believe it is. Would you care to go get the cart, Kuwabara?"
Kuwabara: "Sure!" ::runs to get the mail cart, which was over-flowing as usual:: "Hey Kenshin, you wanna read the first one?"
Kenshin: "I'd be honored, that I would." ::chooses a letter from the cart and opens it:: "This is from Diana, that is it, and she has quite a few questions!"
Kade: "Whoo-hoo! I like her already! Read the questions, Kenny-boy!"
Kenshin: ^^ "Alright. 'Yusuke: You have fans!! I have two friends who drool over you in their sleep but they won't admit that they like you. --Kuwabara: You have fans too! There aren't as many as Hiei or K'rama, but there are fans out there!! --K'rama: You're just cool. As to that woodchuck question thingy, there is an answer. The question is: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" and the answer is: "As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!" My bff Anna taught me that, and she's a fangirl of yours ^^; Oh ya and we're BOTH glad ur not gay! ^^ --Hiei: I think you need to meet my friend Iris, aka Kamu-chan. She's an S.I.T. (Samurai In Training) and also an A.I.T. (Assassin in training). I think she'd make a better assassin than a samurai. But anyways, you and her could go on a killing spree of all ningens! That would be cool, huh? She has quite a bit of knowledge on forms of torture, as I've recently found out... ^^; She might glomp you once or twice before hand, tho. --Koenma: Is there something between you and Botan or what? How long have you guys known each other? I think it's around seven centuries, but I'm not sure. Don't remember. --Jin: My friend Motoko has a MAJOR crush on you and your accent! Even I think it's cute, though I'm not a fangirl of yours, no offense. I like Youko! ^^ I think it's the fangs that I'm attracted to... ^^ *drooooooool* Oh ya, can u teach me some drinking songs!? They sound like fun to scare my friends with!! ^^ --Vegeta, get ur own show. Loser. Hiei is SO better than you. Egomaniac. --Yukina seems so sweet and nice! Don't diss her on the show, she just happens to have grown up on a place where only females live (or that's what Ami tells me about Koorimes... that's why Hiei got thrown off the side like trash. Poor Hiei.) and so she doesn't know what love is 'cause she's not lezzy. Ew, that would be WAY gross. --Oni, I need more secret information on K'rama! Do you have your own "Kurama's Secrets Revealed" website or something I can visit!? Anna and Caiti want to know about this too! But... don't go TOO far with it. I don't wanna embarrass poor K'rama! :( *gives Kurama a painkiller for his hangover* Poor K'rama... --Kade: You're doing SUCH a great job writing this. I cannot hold my sides together I'm laughing so hard! Keep up the good work! ^^ --Kayko: You need to stop slapping Yusuke. Just 'cause he's a punk doesn't mean you have to be mean! No offense, Yusuke... Uhm, ya. Just admit that you like him damnit. Ya did kiss 'im an' all. --Juu-kun: WOO-HOO!! FIRE!! You shoud meet Motoko... she's a witch. In real life, I mean. Y'know, being Pagan and whatnot. She made me a bonfire on our first sleep over! ^^.' ...Whew, I'm out of breath that I am.'"
All: O.O
Jesscheaux: "That's a LOT of questions!"
Kade: ^__^ "YAY! You rock, Diana!"
Yusuke: -__- "You're only happy because you don't have to answer all of them..."
Kurama: "Well, we'd better get to answering them all... Yusuke, I believe the first question was for you."
Yusuke: "I have fans, yeah! This is great! I KNEW I was cool, and of course girls drool over me...I mean, just look at me!" ::grins::
Kuwabara: "Somebody's full of himself today..." ::shakes his head:: "Anyway, it's great to know that I have fans, too! Sometimes I wonder if I have any...but my Jessi is always there to cheer me up!" ::gazes lovingly at Jesscheaux::
Jesscheaux: "Of course, Kuwa!" ::hugs him::
Kurama: "You think I am cool? Thank you very much, Diana. As for the answer to the woodchuck question, it is quite clever indeed. And yes, I too am glad that I am not gay."
Suki: ::latches onto Kurama's arm:: "So am I!"
Kurama: ^_^; "...Hiei, it is your turn to answer the letter."
Hiei: "Hn. I'd like to meet this person. For a ningen, she sounds interesting."
Koenma: ::stands up from the audience:: "Something going on between me and Botan? N-no, absolutely not! I-I mean, w-why would there be?" ::laughs nervously:: "S-she works for me, that's all, honest!" ::blushes faintly:: "I don't even know how long I've known her...it certainly has been a long time since she first stumbled into my office begging for a job--" ::suddenly gets whacked upside the head by a very familiar-looking oar::
Botan: "Excuse me? 'Begging for a job' huh? Well I seem to recall something a bit different, Koenma! For one thing, I wasn't the one begging! If I remember correctly, you were extremely short-staffed and nobody would work for you with such little pay. You were on your knees begging me to take the job!"
Koenma: ::blushes:: "You remember all that? Eh-heh-heh...heh..."
Yusuke: "Hey, what are they doing here anyway?"
Koenma: ::looks at Yusuke:: "What, are you suggesting that the Prince of Hell doesn't have a right to be in the audience?"
Yusuke: "No, but shouldn't you be working?"
Koenma: O.O;; "SHHHH! I'm taking a break! I work hard enough, I deserve to have one every now and then!"
Yusuke: "Whatever. The next question is for Jin...I don't suppose anyone's seen him?"
Jin: ::stands up in among the audience:: "Right here, Urameshi!" ::grins:: "To answer your question, Diana, I'd be more'n happy to teach you some drinking songs! I'd also like to meet that friend o' yours."
Yusuke: "Jeez, is EVERYBODY in the audience or what?"
Oni: "Looks like it, Yusuke."
Yusuke: "The next question was for Vegeta...let me guess, he's here too?"
Vegeta: ::stands up, angry, the veins popping out on his forehead:: "LOSER? HOW DARE YOU CALL THE GREAT PRINCE VEGETA A LOSER! YOU WOULDN'T KNOW A WINNER IF IT CAME UP AND BIT YOU IN THE REAR, WOMAN! THAT FOOLISH 'HIEI' IDIOT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS GREAT AND POWERFUL AS I AM! I COULD BEAT HIM WITH BOTH HANDS TIED BEHIND MY BACK AND WITH MY EYES CLOSED! I'M THE--" ::cough:: "--second--" ::cough:: "--MOST POWERFUL WARRIOR IN THIS WHOLE PATHETIC UNIVERSE AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO INSULT ME!? WHY I OUGHTTA--"
Bulma: ::pops up beside him, grabs his left ear and twists it hard:: "VEGETA!! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT MAKING SCENES?!"
Vegeta: ::glares at his wife:: "I TOLD YOU TO QUIT STALKING ME WOMAN!"
Bulma: "VEGETA!!" ::pulls his ear harder:: "Quit acting like such a child and haul your butt home this instant! There is a driveway full of snow with your name on it, mister!" ::starts to drag the stubborn saiyan out the door::
Yusuke: O.O "...Guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship..."
::A Final Flash attack suddenly goes whizzing towards Yusuke, barely missing him and blowing a large hole in the floor beside him::
Yusuke: O.O; "Meep!"
::CLICK!::
Kurama: ::waits until Bulma has taken Vegeta out of the building before clearing his throat and continuing:: "Well...I believe the next question was for you, Oni."
Oni: ^_^ "I have plenty of dirt on my favorite big bro! Don't you worry, you'll hear about it all in due time..."
Kurama: ^_^;; "...Oni, we discussed this...you were not going to tell any more of my secrets..."
Oni: "Sure, I said that, but I also had my fingers crossed!" ;)
Kurama: O.o ::sighs:: -__- "I cannot believe I let her trick me..." ::takes the painkillers:: "Thank you very much. Lately I have had great need for these... Kade, I believe it is now your turn."
Kade: "WOOT! A question for me! ...Err, a statement for me! YAY!" ::grins:: "Thanks SO much for the compliment! I'm glad you think it's so funny, cuz I always crack up while I'm writing it myself, so at least now I know I'm not crazy!" ;)
Hiei: "I wouldn't go that far..."
Kade: ::sticks her tongue out at Hiei before continuing:: "Anywayz, sorry 'bout the Yukina diss-age..." ::holds up right hand:: "I promise I swear I won't diss her anymore...but don't ask me to do the same for Tea, cuz I just can't do that! I hate her guts too much. And awww, I always feel sad for Hiei when I think of how he was thrown off the Koorime island like trash..." ::goes over and hugs Hiei tightly::
Hiei: O_O "That's...not necessary..."
::CLICK!::
Kade: ::lets go:: "Everyone needs a hug sometimes, Hiei."
Yusuke: ::picks up one of Rose's juggling balls and hits himself with it:: "Ow. I need a hug, Kade!"
Kade: ::sighs:: "Where's Rose when you need her? ...Where is Rose anyway? She's been gone for quite a while."
Yusuke: "Who cares? My head's been lump-free for longer than usual today, so wherever she is, I hope she stays there!" ::laughs::
Jesscheaux: "That's so mean, Yusuke! She's your sister!"
Yusuke: ::crosses his arms, but the huge belly of the Santa suit is in the way:: "So? She's annoying!"
Jesscheaux: ::smirks:: "You just can't admit that you love her, and you'd never forgive yourself if anything happened to her."
Yusuke: "T-that's not...I don't...so what if...LEAVE ME ALONE!"
All ('cept Yusuke): ::laugh::
Kurama: "Moving on...it is Kayko's turn to answer next."
Kayko: ::who is ALWAYS there, lurking in the audience, just waiting to lay some more slappage on poor Yusuke:: ::stands up:: "I'd stop hitting him if he'd grow up and act his age...and stop being such a pervert! Admit that I like him? Um...well he's my friend...a good friend..." ::nervous laugh:: "I kissed him so he could come back to life...isn't that what any good friend would do?"
Kade, Jesscheaux, Suki, & Oni: "Riiiiiight." ::roll their eyes::
Kuwabara: "The last one's for Shorty Junior." ::jerks his thumb towards Juu-Kun::
Juu-Kun: ::scowls:: "Shorty Junior? Is that supposed to hurt my feelings? If you want to hurt somebody's feelings, I'm sure all you have to do is look at them with that ugly face. That would offend anyone. As for the question, or the statement...you can count on much more destruction and pain to come that baka's way in the future." ::smirks evilly:: "And if it weren't for that ridiculous 'no violence on the Christmas Special' rule I'd be torturing him as we speak."
Kuwabara: "Over my dead body, shrimp!"
Juu-Kun: "Actually, that's exactly what I had in mind."
Kade: "Ok, I'll read the next letter now." ::takes another letter from the cart:: "It's from Kittengrl39, who writes 'Kenshin, why don't you get a better shirt? I know that one's supposed to be red, but it's so faded it looks pink...and you and Kurama look nearly exactly the same. In one of his battles, Kurama even got a scar like yours--same place, same shape (it's true! In the battle with Roto). Sano, do you ever feel ashamed that you were beaten by Kenshin, since he's such a short guy? (Sorry, Kenshin) And why do you wear bandages around your waist?' ...Oh, I was wondering that too..." ::puts down the letter and looks at Kenshin:: "Well?"
Kenshin: ^_^ "Oro? What's the matter with my shirt?" ::shrugs and smiles::"Yes, I realize that Kurama and I are very much alike, that we most certainly are. I suppose that is why we are such good friends."
Sano: "Nah, I'm not really ashamed of Kenshin beating me. He's a lot shorter than me, but he is older and more experienced than I am, so it doesn't bother me much. And the bandages?" ::grins:: "Hey, they're a fashion statement! What can I say?"
Kade: O.o "Is that really why you wear those?"
Sano: "Well it's what the artist drew me in, so...yeah, I guess so."
Kade: ::laughs:: "Fair enough. Wanna read the next letter?"
Sano: "Sure, missy. I can do that." ::chooses a new letter from the pile:: "This is from Ren-Okye, and she wrote 'I have a question for the whole cast: Since it's almost Christmas now, what do guys want for Christmas? I don't care how many items and junk you guys want, I'm just curious as to what you want. Merry Christmas, dudes and dudettes!'" ::puts down the letter and looks thoughtful:: "Hm, I never thought of what I wanted for Christmas yet...probably some good 'ole Sake, that's all I need!"
Oni: "Buddy!" ::high-fives him:: "That's just what I wanted too!"
::CLICK!::
Kenshin: "I only wish for my friends' happiness, that I do...and to be with them all for Christmas."
Suki: "That's nice... What do I want for Christmas? That's easy--Kurama, duh!" ::hugs Kurama:: "And some cash would be nice, too..."
Jesscheaux: "I have all I need this Christmas!" ::looks at her fiance, then to the humongous diamond ring:: "Cha-ching, baby yeah!"
Kuwabara: ^_^; "Me too...all I need is my sweetie! ...And maybe another kitten. I think Eikichi gets lonely...I can't play with her all the time anymore."
Yusuke: "What do I want for Christmas? Hmm...a girl who doesn't slap me every five seconds, maybe? Or a vacation from being a Spirit Detective...just for a little while, though, cuz I love all the butt-kickin' I get to do!"
Kurama: "I only wish to spend Christmas day with my family, and that is all I want. Care to respond, Hiei?"
Hiei: "Hn. Christmas is a foolish ningen holiday that makes no sense for me to participate in."
Juu-Kun: "Yes, I agree...however, it would be nice to see the entire population of ningens destroyed overnight and to take over the world the next day."
Kade: ::gets dollar signs in her eyes:: "OOHHH, what do I want? Well, I have a pretty long list...but what I want most is a pony! Yeah! I want a pony!" ::grins:: "I would feed it and pet it and ride it and hug it and love it and name it Bob! Just kiddin', I wouldn't name it Bob...I'd name it Randy."
All: ^^U
::CLICK!::
Jesscheaux: "I'll take the next letter." ::picks yet another one from the cart:: "This is from Shekahla, and she writes 'Hey Kenshin I got one question for you! I heard a rumor awhile ago that you and Kurama are twins separated at birth. *blinks twice* Is that true? I mean how often do you see two red haired Bishies that both wear pink?'"
Kenshin: ::looks at Kurama:: "Well, we do look very much alike, that we do. While I would love for the rumor to be true, sadly it is not."
Kurama: ^_^ "Yes, he is correct. However I no longer make a habit of wearing pink since Oni informed me that in doing so, I put her to shame."
Oni: "Well those weren't my exact words...but hey, SOMEBODY had to tell him!"
Kade: "Right, now we just have to work on Kenshin..."
Kenshin: ::confused:: "I don't see what is so wrong with my shirt, that I don't."
Suki: ::shakes her head:: "Okay, the next letter's all mine." ::picks out a new letter and reads it:: "This one's from Princess Krystal01, and she writes 'Hiei, even though I love u and Kurama so much, I'm sad to tell u this, I have established an army to take over the world...guess what they are--rabid penguins...AND I SHALL DESTROY EVERYTHING IN ALL 3 WORLDS MUWAHAHAHAHaHAHAHAHA 'cough' 'cough' 'cough' if I give u 10 gallons of sweet snow, will u join my army? Kurama, would u join my army if I gave u the best shampoo ever?' ...Well, guys? Whadda ya say?"
Hiei: "Hn. You can't destroy everything in all three worlds, that's my job! ...However, if you give me the ten gallons of sweet snow--" ::drools:: "--then I just might consider allowing you to assist me."
Kade: O.O "He just turned the tables, just like that?"
Yusuke: "I hate to break it to you, but YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, HIEI! Do you know who Koenma's going to send in if the three worlds are in danger? Do you? ME, that's who! There is no frickin' way that I'm going to play cops and robbers with you when I've got better things to spend my time on!"
Suki: "Don't go throwing a tantrum, Yusuke..."
Yusuke: "I AM NOT THROWING A TANTRUM!" ::tries to cross his arms, but the big Santa belly is in the way::
::CLICK!::
Yusuke: "AND WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THAT STUPID CLICKING NOISE??!"
Kenshin: ^_^; "I can read the next letter, that I can." ::picks up another letter and reads it:: "This one is from Akumu-Seiki and she writes 'Kenshin: How come you use repetition a lot while speaking? Sanosuke: How do you get your hair to stay up? Do you use hair gel, or does it do that on its own? Just curious. Hiei: If somebody dared to poke your Jagan, how would you kill them? Would you give them a slower, more painful death than the rabid fangirls, or would you give 'em a quick and painless death? Yusuke: How is it that you're still...eh...somewhat alive after Kayko's many beatings? In short, WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD YET?! -cough- Sorry. But how do you survive? No offense to Kayko or anything. Kuwabara: If you could get another kitten, what would you name it? Kurama: Why is it that you always have roses in your hair? Do you stick them in your hair every morning?'"
Kenshin: "Well, I use repetition because that is just the way I speak, that it is. Most of the time I don't even realize when I'm doing it."
Kade: "Feh. Yeah right. I betcha anyone who's ever seen Samurai X prob'ly knows better than to believe that..."
Kenshin: O.O "Oro?"
Kade: ::shakes head:: "Anyway Sano, it's your turn."
Sano: "My hair stands up like that naturally. I don't use any of that 'hair gel' stuff...that's for girls, missy!"
Hiei: "Nobody would ever dare to poke my Jagan, but if they ever did, they would most certainly receive an extremely slow and incredibly painful death...much worse than the rabid fangirls."
Yusuke: "How am I still alive after all Kayko's beatings? Honestly, I don't even know. I should be dead by now, but for some reason I'm still kickin'. Must be luck." ::grins:: "Like Kurama says, I'm just a lucky fool!"
Suki: "Ya got that right."
Kuwabara: "If I got another kitten, I'd name it Jessi!" ::beams::
Jesscheaux: ^__^ "Aww, that's really sweet of you, Kuwabara!"
Kurama: "I need to have a rose with me at all times...after all, it is my weapon, and you never know when I may need to use it. Yes, you are correct, I do simply stick one in my hair every morning."
Yusuke: "I remember the first time I saw him pull a flower from his hair...man, that kinda freaked me out."
Kuwabara: "Yeah, me too. I thought he was gay at first...I still remember what I said, too!"
Jesscheaux: ::quotes him:: "'It smells girly. I don't think I like it.'" ::laughs::
Kade: "Oh yeah, that was funny! Speaking of which, I was watching the episode where Kuwabara goes into Byakko's lair to fight him in that lava pit, and I thought of a completely random saying...'When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you a boiling lake of lava, you make scrambled eggs!'"
Kurama: O.O
Yusuke: O.O
Kuwabara: O.O
Kade: "If I could've been there with you guys, I would've said that!" ::grins::"
Hiei: ::cringes::
::CLICK!::
Kurama: "Let's move on to another letter, shall we?" ::chooses a new letter from the pile that never seems to get any smaller:: "This letter is from Tessajalyn Cilory, and she writes 'Hiei: Hn... Yusuke: Hello, I thought u would have realized that I was ur fan when I told u that u looked better w/out the gel...and if u ask Kade, I am sure she will give you my bio. Kuwabara: Yes u are THAT ugly. Kurama: Ok...she now wants to know what movie...oh btw...did I mention that she herself is a fox? If u want I can give u her bio... Oni: He had better not be drunk for him and my friends' date...don't mean to sound rude...and finally, Sano: I don't mean to sound like a rabid fangirl...but...would you go out with me sometime...and I shall pay the tab.'"
Hiei: "'Hn' yourself."
Yusuke: ::shrugs:: "Hey, I had to be sure you really were my fan! I don't really have as many as Kurama and Hiei..." ::turns to Kade:: "Can I have her bio?"
Kade: "Maybe if you cooperate and ask REAL nice...I just might consider it."
Yusuke: -__- "What do I have to do?"
Kade: "...You'll see."
Kuwabara: ::sigh:: "So many fans don't like me..."
Kurama: "Well, I do not really mind which movie we see...she can choose one herself if she likes. It is very interesting to find that she is a fox as well, it will give us more to talk about."
Suki: "You're going out with another girl? But still you're going to the party with me, right?"
Kurama: "Of course. But you see, I have promised dates to so many young ladies, and I must not break those promises to any of them."
Kade: "That's real nice of you."
Oni: "Don't worry, he isn't going to be drunk. I promise! Ok?"
Sano: "You'll pay the tab if I go out with you? Alright, I'll go out with you."
Kade: "Time for another question! Who's reading it this time? ...Hiei, why don't you go?"
Hiei: "Hn."
Kade: "C'mon Hiei, just read one!"
Hiei: "No."
Kade: "Hiiiiieeeiiiiii! Pleeeeeaaase?"
Hiei: "I don't want to."
Kade: "Oh come on! I'll give you sweet snow if you do!"
Hiei: "...Fine." ::scowls and snatches a letter from the pile: "This pathetic fan letter is from some foolish ningen named--" ::stops:: "--A.S.?" ::reads the letter, appearing to be fascinated:: "To Hiei: Hiei-chan, it's me A.S.! Remember, your half-sis? DO ya, do ya? Oh I hope you do! ^^ Guess what? I said hi to Trunks yesterday! ^^ Isn't that cool? Hiei, I think he has a crush on me! Can I go to the movies with him? Pwease? Pretty pwease? Oh, I also got some of that yummy sweet snow stuff you've been talking about...it's GOOD! Yummy! I like these things called 'cookies' though. They're great, you should try 'em, bro! Tell sis I said hi! To Kurama: I'm a fan of yours! Not a rabid fangirl though ^^; I got a question! Do you ever get bored of homework? I do all the time! Homework is SO boring... At least that's what I think. Got any advice on how I can make it interesting? Oh, and would you like to hang out and garden sometime, Kurama? I really need some tips, my gardening is getting shabby. To both Kurama and Hiei: Hiei-chan, Kurama-san, is there any advice you have for people with rabid fans? What advice would you give to someone with fans such as yours? To Kuwabara: Um...uh...Congrats on your proposal to Jess! To Yusuke: Wazzup! ^^; Okay, I wanna go bake cookies!! See you! ^^ ~A.S.'"
Kuwabara: "So is THAT who Hiei's sister is? How come you guys acted like it was some big secret?"
Yusuke: "It isn't, really. You just never figured it out. And A.S. was never the sister the rest of us knew about...in fact, Hiei, why didn't you tell us you had another sister?"
Hiei: "Hn. Why? ...To answer her question...hn." ::scowls, thinking 'As if worrying about Yukina wasn't enough...':: "Why should it bother me if you go to the movies with this 'Trunks' person...he had just better keep his hands to himself unless he wishes to die a very painful death. Hn, I've tried these 'cookies' before...however I think I'll stick with Sweet Snow."
Kurama: "I don't suppose anyone really enjoys doing homework, A.S. I tire of it quite often myself. To make it more interesting, I would suggest doing your homework with a friend. Also, I would be quite happy to assist you with your gardening." ^_^
Hiei: "My advice for people with rabid fans--kill them. Kill them all."
Kurama: ^_^;; "Of course, my advice differs from Hiei's... I would say do your best to deal with them in a civil fashion. After all, they are your fans and they admire you, so in turn you should treat them with kindness."
Kenshin: "That's some great advice, that it is." ^^
Kurama: "Thank you, Kenshin."
Kuwabara: "I'm confused...who's Hiei's other sister? ...Anyway, thanks A.S.!"
Yusuke: ::sweatdrop:: "Um...hi?"
Kade: "Well, that's all the time we have today for fan mail...I've got some other things planned for today's show, so we need to make time! Right now it's time to open up some presents!"
Suki, Oni, & Jesscheaux: "Yeah!"
Kade: ::looks at Yusuke:: "Alright Santa, now it's your job to go over to the tree and get the presents for us. Ok?"
Yusuke: ::mock salutes:: "Got it." ::rolls his eyes and walks over to the Christmas tree to get a gift:: "Ho ho ho, which one should I bring over first?"
::A hand holding a small wrapped present suddenly sticks out of the tree::
Yusuke: ::takes the present:: "Thanks." ::turns to leave:: "Wait..." ::stares at the tree, confused::
Kade: "Yusuke, what are you doing?"
Yusuke: ::shakes his head:: "Slowly going insane." ::goes back over to the group:: "Here, I think it's for Kuwabara." ::hands Kuwabara the present::
Kuwabara: "Cool! Hm, it says it's from Wata--Wataku--Watakushi..." ::trails off:: "Guys, I dunno how to pronounce this name..."
Jesscheaux: ::reads over his shoulder:: "Watakushiwaginnokitsuneaisuru." ::grins:: "Yeah, I'm that good."
Kuwabara: "Thanks sweetie!" ::unwraps the gift, and suddenly a swarm of flying armadillos come flying out and begin to pelt him with plushies...and not just any plushies...::
Suki: ::gasp:: "Are those...T-T-Teletubbies?"
Kuwabara: ::screams:: "TELETUBBIES! NOOOOOO!"
Kade: ::clings to Hiei:: "I'm too frightened to move..."
Hiei: -__-U
Oni: ::nods:: "I know, it's pretty freaky..."
Suki & Jesscheaux: ::grab baseball bats and beat the plushies away::
::CLICK!::
Suki: ::hits one:: "Take THAT, you horrible plushie! Spawn of Satan! Epitome of evil!"
Jesscheaux: ::as she creams two plushies at the same time:: ::laughs:: "This is actually kinda fun!"
Yusuke: ::after the plushie-pelting had died down:: "Well I guess I'll be getting another present." ::goes to get another one::
::Once again the hand sticks out and hands Yusuke another present::
Yusuke: O.O "What the...? Okay, I must really be going crazy..." ::goes back and hands the present to Kurama::
Kurama: ::unwraps his present:: "Oh, a gardening kit. It is very nice." ^__^
Oni: "Go get another present, Santa!"
Yusuke: ::glances warily at the Christmas tree:: "I dunno if I want to..."
Suki: "Don't be such a baby Yusuke, just go get one!"
::CLICK!::
Yusuke: ::gulps and slowly edges over to the tree:: "Okay..." ::seeing no hand this time, Yusuke reaches for the first present he could get his hand on, which is a large box with holes poked in it, and then he carries it back to the group:: "I think this is for Kuwabara."
Kuwabara: ::unwraps it cautiously:: "I hope it's no prank."
Inside The Box: "Mew!"
Kuwabara: "Huh? That sounds like..." ::opens the lid:: "...A kitten!" ::lifts an adorable little long-haired tabby kitten out of the box::
Kitten: "Mew!"
Jesscheaux: "Awww, how cute!"
Kuwabara: "It's just what I wanted! ...Hey, it's wearing a collar..." ::reads the collar:: "'My name is Jessi'. Hey, they even knew what I would name her!" ::smiles and cuddles the kitten::
Jesscheaux: "She's so little, and adorable!" ::looks at Yusuke:: "Hey, me next, Santa!"
Yusuke: "Oh, alright." ::goes back to the tree and gets an armload of presents to save trips::
::The hand sticks out again and places one last present on top of the pile in Yusuke's arms::
Yusuke: O.O ::runs back over to the group and dumps the presents onto the ground:: "That's IT! I'm gonna find out what the heck is going on, who is in that stupid tree, and what the frick keeps making all those clicking noises!" ::stomps over to the tree and dives onto it::
::The tree falls over onto the floor and Rose tumbles out of the tree with her camera in hand::
Rose: "Hey, watch the camera you jerk!" ::throws a juggling ball at Yusuke::
Kade: "So THAT'S where she went!" ::laughs:: "Having fun, Rose?"
Rose: ::nods:: "Yup! Yusuke was really freaked out, and I got some great pictures!"
Jesscheaux: "So that's what all those clicking noises were! I was wondering about that."
Rose: ::grins and walks over to the others:: "If you don't mind, I think I'll re-join you all now."
Yusuke: "I mind." ::is hit with another juggling ball::
Kade: "So anywayz, Jesscheaux was just about to open up her presents!"
Jesscheaux: "Yeah! I have two of 'em. One is from you, Kuwabara!" ::opens the one from Kuwabara, which contains a diamond-studded bracelet with her name engraved on it:: "Wow Kazuma...it's pretty!"
Kuwabara: "I was hoping you would like it...it took forever to save up my allowance so I could get it for you."
Jesscheaux: ::hugs him and kisses him on the cheek:: "Thank you, sweetie!" ::opens the other one:: "Hey, nice! A check for two hundred dollars!"
Kurama: "Who's turn is it now?"
Kade: "Ooh, me! My turn! I got two!" ::rips open the first one:: "Booya! A check for two hundred smackers! That producer is a pretty generous person!" ::tears open the next present and gasps:: "OMG! Who is this from?" ::lifts a solid-gold necklace from the little box:: "This must've cost like, a FORTUNE!"
Jesscheaux: "DUDE, yeah! There's no name on it?"
Kade: ::shakes head:: "Nope. Do you guys have any idea who it could be from?"
Yusuke: "No, sorry."
All: ::shake their heads:: "No."
Kade: "How strange." ::shrugs and puts the gold chain on:: "Hope I don't get shot for this thing...I bet it's worth thousands."
Yusuke: "Oh well, my turn!" ::unwraps his present and finds a check for two hundred dollars:: "Awesome."
Kenshin: ::opens up his present:: "A sweater...how lovely." ^^U
Sano: ::opens his own present:: "...Um...a sweater that matches Kenshin's? Well thanks...I think."
Oni: "Well it's the thought that counts, right? Hey, I have two presents also!" ::opens up the first one:: "A check for two hundred bucks! Cool! ...And the other one's from Heero!" ::opens the second one:: "Whoa, he gave me diamond earrings!" ::grins:: "A bottle of Sake, too! Alright! I love you Heero!"
Suki: "Nice. Hey, I also got a check for two hundred bucks! What about you guys?" ::looks at Hiei and Juu-Kun::
Hiei: "Hn. I don't need this ningen money...why did I get some?"
Juu-Kun: "I got money too...I think I'll use it to buy more weapons of mass destruction."
Rose: "Okay, now it's MY turn! And look, I have two! ...Well, one is a card." ::opens up the first one and finds a check for two hundred bucks, just like everyone else:: "Neat! Now for that card..." ::opens the card and reads it:: "'To My Favorite Sister: I'm sorry for for all the times I was mean to you. Merry Christmas, Love ya. ~Yusuke.' Awww!" ::hugs her brother:: "Thanks Yusuke! I knew you really loved me"
Yusuke: "Yeah, yeah..." ::hugs her back:: "Your my sister, I kinda have to."
Kade: "Everyone is so happy! Yay! Group hug, you guys!"
All: ::form a group hug::
Kade: ::reaches out and grabs Hiei, who is sitting alone, refusing to participate:: "Get in here, you!"
Hiei: ::very reluctantly complies:: "Hn."
::Buzzer sounds, signalling the end of the show::
Kade: "Great timing! Well everyone, that concludes the Hiei & Kurama Show Christmas Special Spectacular! Hope you all had a nice time, but we have ONE MORE surprise for all of you fangirls out there!" ::nods to Suki, Rose, Jesscheaux and Oni::
Oni: ::grabs Kurama::
Rose: ::grabs Yusuke::
Suki: ::grabs Hiei::
Jesscheaux: ::grabs Sanosuke::
Kade: ::grabs Kenshin::
Juu-Kun & Kuwabara: ::watches as all the guys are dragged kicking and screaming in protest over to the mistletoe::
Kade: "And now, for the fangirls' Christmas present, you may all come up one by one and kiss your favorite bishie!"
Jesscheaux: "That's right! Five bucks per kiss!"
Guys: O.O
Kurama: "Please, why are you doing this?" ::gets tied to a chair by Oni::
Yusuke: "This is no fair!" ::Rose ties him to a chair as well::
Sanosuke & Kenshin: ::both tied to chairs:: "Let us go! PLEASE!"
Hiei: "I DEMAND TO BE SET FREE THIS INSTANT OR I WILL PERSONALLY DESTROY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!" ::struggles in his entrapment as the fangirls rush to get in line::
Jesscheaux: ::laughs as she takes money from the desperate fangirls:: "Step right up! No pushing, please, you'll all get a fair turn!"
Guys: ::are all permanently scarred for life because of the recent events::
Kenshin: ::watches replay, his face covered in lipstick:: "Well what do you know, my shirt does look rather pink, that it does."
Kade: ::slaps his back:: "Don't sweat it, Kenny-boy, it's not so bad. In fact, you and Kurama are the only two who can actually pull off that look."
Yusuke: ::looks into the camera, also with a lipstick-covered face:: "So anyway, if you like 'The Hiei & Kurama Show' then you should check out our official website! You can get to it by going here: 'http://members.fortunecity.com/hieiandkuramashow' [remove the spaces first]. Not everything is up and running yet, but you can sign the guest book and participate in 'Ask Hiei'. Kade should be updating it regularly...right, Kade?" ::looks at that lovable writer::
Kade: ^_^ "Of course...hehe... I AM on vacation, but keep in mind I don't have a computer with internet access at my house so I can't update as much as I want to..."
Kurama: ::face covered in many colors of lipstick:: "That is alright, Kade, you do your best and that is all they can ask of you."
Suki: ::still clinging to Kurama:: "Yeah! Kurama, you're so smart..." ^__^
Kurama: ::blushes faintly, but you can't tell because all the lipstick is like a mask on him:: "Why thank you."
Rose: ::snaps a picture of Kurama blushing:: "That was a great shot...hehehe..."
Jesscheaux: ::turns to Sanosuke, who is covered in lipstick too:: "So whadda ya say Sano, want to do the honors of announcing the guest for next episode?"
Kade: ::blushes and giggles madly::
Oni: ::turns to look at her:: "What's up?"
Kade: =) "I know who the guest is..."
Sano: ::turns back to Jesscheaux:: "...Okay, missy. I'll do it." ::looks into the camera:: "Next time on the Hiei & Kurama Show the special guest will be...Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Jesscheaux: "Ooohhhhhh, so THAT'S what she was so excited about." ;)
Kade: ::jumping up and down, practically bouncing off the walls:: "He's coming, he's coming! WOOTNESS! I can't wait!"
Sano: ::shakes his head:: "Anyway, you can e-mail Kade the Mental One any questions you have for this 'Yami' character, or for any of the other cast members...hey Kade, why can't they just put the question in the review?"
Kade: T_T "Cuz I got in trouble for it a while back...but people still put the questions in the reviews anyway...I'm just not allowed to tell them to, that's all." ::shrug:: "It's messed up."
Yusuke: "If that Yami guy is coming, I wonder if I'll get to duel him again? Hey, what's that Tea girl gonna think when she finds out that Kade invited Yami to the Season One Party? Doesn't she have some dumb crush on him or something?"
Kade: ::thinks about Tea:: >_< "...Grrrrr...Tea...must...kill..." ::clenches her fists::
Kurama: "Yusuke, you said the 'T' word..."
Yusuke: ::confused:: "Is that bad?"
Kurama: ::looks his poor, misguided friend directly in the eye:: "NEVER. Say. The 'T' word."
All: ::look at Kade, who is pacing back and forth while muttering under her breath something about flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and Tea's face:: O.O;
Jesscheaux: "Reminds me of myself every time I thought of Yukina." ::laughs::
Hiei: "Hn..."
Kuwabara: ::not covered in lipstick:: ::still doesn't know Yukina is Hiei's sister:: "What's with you, Hiei?"
Hiei: ::face covered in lipstick:: ::glares at Kuwabara:: "A ningen baka like you wouldn't understand."
Jesscheaux: "HEY! Quit insulting my fiance, you puny little runt!"
Hiei: "Am I supposed to be offended?"
Kade: "Guys, it's Christmas! No fighting!"
Jesscheaux: "Ah, she's got a point..." ::shrugs:: "Alright Hiei, you're off the hook FOR NOW."
Oni: ::checks her watch:: "Whoa, we gotta go, you guys! It's almost time for that important meeting thingy that Kade was talking about."
Kade: "Hey, you're right. Heh...actually it's not a meeting at all...we're gonna go have a big snowball war! Then we're gonna have some hot chocolate! Alright loyal fans, we'll be seeing you on the next episode of The Hiei & Kurama Show! Please be kind and leave a review on your way out, and don't forget to have a Merry Christmas!"
Sano & Kenshin: ::wave at the camera:: "Happy Holidays everyone!"
Kade: ::bows before running after the rest of the crew:: "And to all a good night!" ::runs off to try and find out who the heck gave her that present::
