"Um, thank you?" ~~~~~~ Enter Nataku. In a frilly pink dress with lots of lace on it, it looks straight at the camera and deadpans, "Two households both alike in dignity," Kanoe frowns. She leans forward and stage whispers to Fuuma, "What do they mean, 'alike in dignity'? Both of them are /men/!" Fuuma just Smirked while both the Montague parents sweat-dropped. (It's not our fault that the cast of X has more men than women...) "In fair Tokyo, where we lay our scene.." /Cut scene to Tokyo Tower and the Sakura Tree/ "From ancient blood break to new mutiny," "Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." Subaru : Seishirou-san is /not/ civil. Hokuto : Shush, you're in love. Seishirou : *Smirks* "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes," "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives." Subaru: Hey, no one said anything about /dying/. Karen: Mou, you're such an innocent, Subaru. Hokuto: Haven't you heard about the "little death"? Subaru: *thuds to the floor* "Whose misadventured piteous overthrows" "Doth with their death bury their parent's strife." "The fearful passage of their death-marked love," "And the continuance of their parent's rage," "Which, but their children's end, none could remove," "Is now the two hours traffic of our stage;" "The which if you with patient ears attend," "What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." ~~~~~~ Enter Fuuma. He's smirking, as usual. Aine: *In a whisper to Meia* Is he going to hit on Kamui again? He delivers his lines with some panache. "But that Dragon of Heaven is bound as well as I, In penalty alike, and 'tis not hard, I think, for men as old as we to keep the peace." His tone shows mild exasperation. After all, he isn't exactly old. "Old?" He murmurs underneath his breath. "Do you think I'm old, Kamui-kun?" He purrs, trying to slide an arm around the bishounen's slender waist. "Ah, no?" Kamui has been trying to put a healthy distance between himself and his dark counterpart. Remembering his next lines, he ventures, nervously, "Of honorable reckoning are you both, and pity 'tis you lived at odds so long. But now, my lord, whaa say you to my suiiit?!" The last few words come out in a rush as Fuuma sidles up to him and manages to pinch a delicate part of his anatomy. Kamui jumps and yelps. Fuuma pins him to one of the walls around them. The shikigami who are the extras in this scene continue their work, oblivious to the unscripted scene. "I /like/ the way you call me, 'my lord'." Fuuma purrs. "But you are always in that boring old school uniform, Kamui-kun." His eyes suggest something that makes Kamui blush so badly. Behind, the Director coughs discreetly. "A-nou... better get back to the script now?" She offers. Her face is as beet-red as Keiichi's. But Keiichi's face isn't red from embarrassment, as Fuuma does fascinating things to Kamui's neck with his tongue. Fuuma pouts. But he releases Kamui, who is looking very rumpled and thoroughly dazed. "We'll have many more chances to play if you marry my 'daughter', Kamui," He purrs. Both Kamui and Subaru choke. Fuuma straightens up. "But saying over what I have said before, my child is not a stranger in this world, she has seen the change of twenty-five summers, so don't you think that he's ripe to be a bride?" He delivers these lines in a slightly smug tone. Kamui makes an attempt to compose himself. He tries to say his next line, but starts choking. Fuuma helpfully tries to help him out of it. Backstage, Yuzuriha is curious as to why Kamui is so flustered. She turns to Arashi. "Arashi-san, why is Kamui-san so excited?" Arashi sweatdrops. "Ah.. you haven't read the script yet, have you?" "No, only my lines. Why?" Arashi's sweatdrop grows bigger. "Perhaps you should ask Nataku-san." Yuzu turns to the bioroid, who is sitting next to her. He is avidly watching the performance that is being filmed. As long as Daddy's happy, Kazuki's happy. "Nataku-san?" "Yes?" "What is Kamui-san's next line?" The bioroid looks at Yuzuriha. "I believe the next line that is written for Paris, is 'Younger than she are happy brides made.'" He returns to watching Daddy, who is still 'trying' to calm Kamui down. Yuzu turns back to the front. Somehow, she misses the exciting action sequence, where Fuuma is trying the Hiemlich maneuver on the not-unconscious Kamui. ~~~~~~ Somewhere behind Yuzu, Karen is talking to Kanoe. "There's /something/ about watching a father hit on his prospective son-in-law.." "I must agree. It certainly is interesting.." ~~~~~~ Yuzu thinks out loud. "If younger people than Subaru-san can make good brides, does that mean that I'll make a good bride?" ~~~~~~ "Oh, you're perfectly welcome to join us anytime you wish." Kanoe tells Karen, smiling. "I'm sure Yuuto wouldn't mind, would you?" Yuuto smirks. ~~~~~~ Yuzuriha has a question. "Does that mean that Subaru-san will make a good bride too?" The others turn to the young bishoujo. "What did you say, dear?" inquires Karen motherly. "Oh, I was just wondering whether Subaru-san would make a good bride.." Absolute silence greets this announcement while everybody sweatdrops. Then Nataku speaks. "Does physical age matter?" Crash! Everybody drops to the floor.
