Inu Yasha Interviews;


Good evening everyone! Welcome to The Fans Want to Know the show where we--

Inu Yasha; Oh, shut UP!! You say that every time you start this off!!

Kagome; Inu Yasha!!

Inu Yasha; Well, it's true!

Shippou; Wow! Inu Yasha you watch this show too?!

Kagome; o.O Good point Shippou!

Inu Yasha; feh.

Anyway! Tonight on the show we have from Rumiko Takahashi's newest series, Inu Yasha, the title character, Kagome, Kikyou, Shippou, Miroku, Sango, and Sesshomaru!

Sango; What I'd like to know is just how they convinced Sesshomaru to come on the show at all!

Sesshomaru; She promised me an execution at the end of the show.

Kagome; WHO?

Kikyou; Preferably you!

Kagome; What?! Why I oughta!

Inu Yasha; Kagome! Sit!

Kagome; ~gives him weird look~ Um... that only works on you.

Inu Yasha; It was worth a shot

Miroku; You'd think that Interviewersama would know enough about this series to keep Inu Yasha in character.

Maa...! Inu Yasha! Please state your name for the record!

Inu Yasha; You just said it.

State your name Dammit!

Kagome; Hey! How come you can swear?!

That was a slip. If you'd keep your half-youkai under control...

Inu Yasha; HER half-youkai?! I'm not HER anything, hear me?!

Sesshomaru; Could have fooled me.

Inu Yasha; Don't you start!

Oi. I feel another Gundam Wing interview coming on...

Inu Yasha; I am NOTHING like those characters! I Am Sane!!

Kagome; as you would say, feh.

Shippou; Wow! Who would've pegged Inu Yasha as an anime fan?

Sango; The better question is, where in Feudal Japan does he see all this?

Kagome; Oh, that's easy. Every night when I'm sleeping he sneaks into my room and watches TV.

All; ...

Miroku; and that is all?

Kagome; ~hits him on the head~ Yes! That's all!

Where was I?

Kikyou; I believe you were interviewing Inu Yasha.

Right-o! Thanx Kikyou! Inu Yasha! Stop strangling Miroku and sit down.

Inu Yasha; ~releases Miroku's throat and sits in a huff~ What?

Um... um... I forgot the question.

Inu Yasha; Wonderful.

Oh! Now I remember! Inu Yasha, The Fans Want to Know, what are your true feelings about Kagome?

Inu Yasha; She's annoying as hell. I only keep her around so I can find the Shikon shards.

Sesshomaru; ~snort~

Inu Yasha; YOU SHUT UP!! =BEEEEEEEP=

Kagome; SIT!

Inu Yasha; ~slams into ground~ Aww... rrrgh...

I can see interviewing him is pointless. Kagome, let's move on to you. Full name please!

Kagome; Higurashi Kagome desu.

So, what are your true feelings for Inu Yasha, and be honest!

Kagome; ...

Inu Yasha; ~from floor~ Keep your mouth shut, Kagome!

Kagome; ~bursts into tears~ All I want is for you to love me, Inu Yasha!!! That's all!! Is that too much to ask?!

Inu Yasha; ~blink~

Kagome; ~sobbing into Shippou's sleeve~

Shippou; You're such a jerk, Inu Yasha! pbbbt!

Inu Yasha; Why I oughta!

Kikyou; ~smirk~ I told you you should have stuck with me, Inu Yasha.

Inu Yasha; You shut up!

Seeing as how Kagome's in hysterics, let's move on... ~considers interviewees~ Uh... Miroku!

Miroku; Miroku desu!

Uh... thanks. But actually, first I'd like to request you stop lifting Kagome's skirt for a peek and sit quietly.

Miroku; ah- heheheh.... sorry about that.

Sango; WHY YOU-- ~beats him with boomerang~

Jealous, are we, Sango?

Sango; ~bright red, stops beating Miroku and looks away~

Miroku; Thank you, Interviewersama! You are as quick-thinking as you are beautiful!

How can you justify being a preist when you're such a flirt and a lecher?

Miroku; ~taken aback~ I AM a man, afterall!

Sango; Not only is that debatable, but it can be fixed as well.

Miroku; You shut up!

So, uh, Miroku, what will you do when you get that black hole out of your hand?

Miroku; Go bar hopping with Nuriko! She's such a fox!

~blinks at Sango, who blinks at her~ I'm not going to tell him, are you?

Sango; I think he can find out for himself.

Miroku; What?

Nothing! We'll move on! Sango! Name please!

Sango; I can understand you saying that for people with last names. But isn't it redundant for the characters with only one name?

I suppose. But it's out of habit more than anything else.

Sango; Oh, okay then, Sango desu.

Where'd you get that huge boomerang?

Sango; I made it myself! ~proud~

Cool! Which of the guys in this series would you rather go out with?

Sango; Well, let's see... Inu Yasha and Kagome are certainly an item.... Miroku's a perv... Sesshomaru hates me... Jaken's a toad... Shippou's a child... Naraku's the... uh... you know... that killed my family... there really are no others... can I choose to stay single?

Everyone thinks you have the hots for Miroku!

Sango; WHAT?! ~pulls Boomerang and eyes audience~ Who says that?

Sesshomaru; Everyone.

Sango; ~pounds him into ground with boomerang~

Miroku; ~is positively glowing~

All right, all right. We'll drop it if you're going to get that violent! We'll move on, even. Shippou!

Shippou; Shippou desu!

Is it true you think of Kagome as a mother?

Shippou; Yes! And Inu Yasha as my fath-- ~is cut off as Inu Yasha pounds the little Kitsune into the ground~

Kagome; Ahh! Inu Yasha! Sit!

Inu Yasha; ~slams into ground next to Shippou~ =BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP= Kagome! =BEEEEEP= I'll-- =BEEEEEEEEEEEP=

Ahem. ANYway. We can't interview Shippou anymore, as he in unconcious. So, we'll move right along on to Kikyou! Name please!

Kikyou; Kikyou desu

How did it feel to be dead?

Kikyou; It was fine until I came back and found that witch with MY Inu Yasha!

Kagome; Hey!

How can you call her a witch? She's essentially you!

Kikyou; hmmph.

So, uh, Kikyou, what response to you have to accusations that you are an 'evil wench'?

Kikyou; they shall all die slow and painful deaths. I'll steal their souls and feed the male ones to my pets to make them stronger...

Sesshomaru; I like your style!

Kikyou; Shut up, you.

Sesshomaru; ~glares~ Damned mortal.

Kikyou; ~glares~ Damned youkai.

==Sparks begin to flare between the two==

Kagome; Wow! They remind me of Sango and Miroku!

Sango; Don't make me hurt you, Kagome.

... Okay! Last interview. The last thing I need is to have to clean up after another battle! You should have seen the damage Hiiro and Duo caused!

Miroku; I can only imagine.

Sesshomaru! I won't bother asking your name, don't worry. First question! What's up with Rin?

Sesshomaru; ~scowls~ What about her?

Never mind! Why do you keep Jaken around if he's so annoying?

Sesshomaru; I've advertised for a replacement, but no one seems to answer.

Oh. You poor thing. So! Do you really hate Inu Yasha as much as you seem to?

Sesshomaru; No.

Really?

Sesshomaru; I hate him more. I just don't show emotion very well.

You and Hiiro should get together for coffee or something.

Sesshomaru; Perhaps.

So, why do you keep your sword if all it does is heal people?

Sesshomaru; It was my fathers. I can't part with it even if I wanted to.

Gotcha! Well now! That's all the time we have for!

Sesshomaru; Hey! Wait a minute! Where's my execution?

I was just getting to that. Interviews are over! Execution begins now! Bring out the victem!

Sango; Please be Naraku! Please be Naraku!

Kagome; Please be Myoga! Please be Myoga!

Inu Yasha; Please be Kaede! Please be Kaede! ~sees look he's getting~ what?

==A young boy with a long brown braid and mischevious violet eyes bounds in carting Jaken, who is bound and gagged and looking very fearful==

Sesshomaru; Hm, now I really do need a replacement.

Go for it, Duokun!

Kagome; Ano... why are Hiiro and Duo doing these executions for you?

Payment for trashing my studio.

Kagome; I see.

Sango; But... where did Duo go?

You'll see.

==Suddenly the roof is lifted and there stands Deathscythe in all his glory. The gleaming Gundam Mobile Suit lifts one massive foot and brings it down on Jaken with a wet sounding squish==

Thank you Duokun!

Duo; ~from now open cockpit~ My pleasure!

==Deathscythe steps back and the roof is replaced, leaving everyone to gaze in amazement at the splattered remains of the toad==

Kagome; ~after long moment of silence~ YAY!!

Sesshomaru; Rin will be happy.

Inu Yasha; And you call ME weak!

Sesshomaru; What? How dare you, welp?!

Inu Yasha; I dare!

Okay! Let's get out of here before a fight begins. Join us next time, folks! You'll be happy to know that I finally managed to grab from Slayers Next, Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, Amelia, Xellos, and Gaav!! Thank you and good night! See ya next time!!
