*standard disclaimers apply*
A lovely maiden with long, braided hair, sits by the window, the breeze gently
carressing her face. The surrounding meadows glistened with the dew of morn,
allowing the land a sparkle that could rival even the rarest of jewels. The
tower which held her imprisoned stood erected from the ground, it's tall
structure casting a long shadow across the hillside. Vicious thorny plants
surrounded the crumbling walls in thick masses, knotting and twisting its gnarly
braches to form a barbwire-like wall.
Eversince the day of her kidnap, she had been
sealed within the tower. Perched on that same window everyday, singing a song of
freedom, and hoping a brave warrior will come to her aid...
To save her from the crumbling walls of the tower.....
To grant her the freedom withdrawn from her so long ago......
To replenish the emptiness of her dimming heart....
Ku-Chan: And you think WE are going to make it a happy ending, ne?
Hi-Chan: Dream on... For WE SHALL make the slight change to it. Heh heh heh...
Ku-Chan: Who's the Rapunzel you ask? Just keep on reading. You'll find out soon
enough...
*Ku-Chan & Hi-Chan start laughing that mad-villain-kind of 'heh heh heh'
with an evil gleam in their eyes*
[ Locked between four walls of stone and grief
Alone, in this room
and within the hollow of my heart
To be set high up amongst the clouds
But alas, not being able to touch them
To gaze at the birds in flight
but forbidden to do so myself....]
[ Hear ye warrior?
of this song of sorrow ?
Feel ye brave warrior?
of my passion for freedom? ]
[ Memories strengthen their hold on me
the horrid image of two cruel, UTTERLY HOPELESS
witches burn in my mind's eye...
The death of my loved ones
The snatching of my soul
Hear ye, warrior?
Hear yeEeEe..... ]
Sitting far from the scene...
Ku-Chan: HEY!!! What's the 'HOPELESS' DOING THERE?!!
Hi-Chan: Shut up! You're spoiling the scene. Anyway... where's that
W-A-R-R-I-O-R?
Ku-Chan: *points across the empty landscape* There he is! Finally! I didn't
think I could have taken anymore of 'Rapunzel's singing.
Hi-Chan: Ooohhh...I think my ears are suffering from internal bleeding... O-kay!
Who's the knight in shining armour today?
*Ku-Chan & Hi-Chan whip out their SUPERZOOM x100© binoculars and scan the
horizon.*
One minute passes....
Two minutes pass.....
In a split second, Ku-Chan is found rolling on the ground, choking in laughter
while at the other end, Hi-Chan goes green round the gills..This is gonna be
ugly..
Ah! Here's where the lovely maiden is imprisoned. Don't worry, oh lovely one.
For I shall save thee...
Ku-Chan: Boy oh boy... *muffles her laughter*
Running towards the tower at a speed disporportional to his size, the knight
donning his silver armour strikes his right arm up into the air.
"Reiken!!!"
A brilliant flash of yellow appears in his hand, resembling a crossover between
a sword and a bolt of lightning.
Without even stopping in his mad dash, our hero starts mowing through the thorny
fence, his eyes burning with determination like no other. Finally, he reaches
the foot of the tower, the previously deadly plants now looking more like your
average tossed salad. The sword disperses from his hands as he lowers his ki.
Wiping the faint traces of sweat from his brow, his affectionate eyes roamed the
windowsill as he called her...
"Oh Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
let down your hair,
That I may climb,
the...erm...
....silence.
The knight was dumbfounded. What was the colour of her hair again? Sure, he
heard of a maiden and all, but he hadn't exactly bothered to ask what her hair
colour was...He shrugged. Oh well. We'll just have to make do...
".....the "I-am-not-too-sure-or-even-better-don't-know-at-all-
whatever-the-colour-is stair!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the lovely 'Rapunzel' quickly let down 'her'
green highlighted black hair , her heart soaring with joy. Slowly but steadily,
the braids came into the reaches of our knight in shining armour. He tugged
slightly at the green streaked tresses, silently testing their durability. After
being certain that it wouldn't break, the latter begins his ascend into the
opening.
Back up at the window, Rapunzel winced slightly at the weight being pulled by
her hair.
Wow. This saviour sure is heavy...
Reaching the window, he stands on the sill, gazing lovingly at the uniquely
shaped marks on 'Rapunzel's face through his helmet. The maiden in turn looks
back at the gallant knight with admiration written all over 'her' face. Sappy,
cheesy love music floats in the air as both imagine what the other would look
like. Tears of happiness glisten at the corner of 'her' eyes.
"Oh brave sir knight! I don't know how I would ever thank thee for
releasing me from my imprisonment! Do reveal yourself to me kind one!"
Slowly, the hero of this story removes his helmet ...
......and all hell breaks loose.
" It is I, Rapunzel, Kazuma Kuwabara, who has come to save you from the two
witches' wrath!" he announces proudly as he summons his sword again in a
lame attempt to show off his cool self. After what seemed to be an eternity of
cheap lines and pathetic poses, he looked back at the 'maiden' hoping to gain
her admiration. It seemed the helmet hadn't provided him a very good sight of
the maiden at ALL..
"Rapunzel, my swee...ACK! You...you're Rapunzel?!!" He stared at 'her'
with so much disbelief that his face was starting to resemble that a drowning
goldfish. He collapsed into the room with a dull thud. Rapunzel could only stare
at him. After the initial shock had worn off, Kuwabara heaved out a sigh, his
tongue clucking in sympathy. "You poor thing..not only are you isolated in
this tower, you're also suffering from a personal identity crisis! BUT NEVER
FEAR! I'll still love you even if you ARE a guy!! RAPUNZEL!!!"
Hi-Chan: Oh me gawdess!
SLAP! SMACK! CRRRRRAAAAAASH!!! Kuwabara, the gallant but now fallen hero, lies
among the thorns in an agonizing heap, with two red hand marks gracing his
cheeks. It seems dear 'Rapunzel' had just introduced to him the back and front
of 'her' right palm.
Yuusuke (Majin): Never will I trust him as a 'faithful' friend. *pulls up his
torn sleeve*
Hi-Chan: Oh me gawdess! Kuwabara actually did that? Is he okay??
Ku-Chan: *looking through her binoculars* He just checked out. See the circular
movements his pupils are doing? Maybe we should call for Botan...?
Ku-Chan & Hi-Chan look at each other. "Nah!"
The thorny plants quickly regenerate themselves, covering what's left of
Kuwabara's body and repairing the injured branches, thus making the barricade
become even thicker and more lethal.
Hi-Chan: Ah! The next contestant is here! Oh... It's him.
Ku-Chan: Ne?
Ah. The true prince! He's finally here...
Sounds of fast, tiny footsteps were heard, all but a blur of black could be seen
sprinting towards the tower, jumping over the thorns, up the wall, and into the
window silently.
Yuusuke (Majin): Ah!!! What a lovely prince!
Come to my arms my love...
Ku-Chan: I can't believe Yuusuke ACTUALLY LIKES that guy.
Hi-Chan: Hey!
The black prince stared at Yuusuke, his face portraying the straightness of an
arrow...well...actually it was more like the durability of a wet tissue....
Hiei: I'm LEAVING.
Yuusuke (Majin): Hey! Hiei-sama! Chyotto! Chyotto matte!!!
As quickly as he had entered, the prince exited the tower in the spur of a
moment--possibly even faster.
Yuusuke (Majin)
arn.
Nearly got him. *snaps his fingers*
At the other side, Hiei roughly grabs Hi-Chan by the collar and starts shaking
her like a rag doll.
Hiei: You SAID that Yukina was kidnapped when it was actually some stupid act
where I'm supposed to save a stupid ningen who has the hots for me!!!??? *Hiei's
growls dangerously and pulls out his long, katana* Let's see if there's anyone
that will save your hide, you little...
Hi-Chan: Eeepp! I w-wouldn't say THAT! I'm your f-faithful f-fan! How could I
say that?!!
Hiei: THEN WHO DID?!! *shake shake shake*
Ku-Chan: Nani yo... All that yelling over a small matter. You must have expected
Kurama-sama to be there instead of your dear sister, ne?
Hiei: Why you rotten three-tailed youko...
Ku-Chan: * points to Hiei's back * Nani ? Isn't that Yukina-san? And who's that
with her? He looks kind of familiar.. He looks like... Oh no... That volcano
head guy... Tarukane..He's alive?!!
Hiei: NANI?!! *runs to where Ku-Chan is pointing*
Ku-Chan: Hi-Chan no BAKA!! I always have to save your skin, ne?
Hi-Chan: Hn! You are actually trying to save YOUR three tails!!!
A lovely bishonen passes by the tower, looking at the window.
Bishonen: I wonder who lives there...
Ku-Chan: NOOO~~~!!! HI-CHAN!!! Not HIM!!!
Hi-Chan: I don't care. He has to be involved.
Yuusuke looks down and sees the bishonen. Excited, he frantically waves his arms
to get Pretty Boy's attention.
Yuusuke (Majin): Tasukete!!! Tasukete!!! Get me out of here! Tasukete!!! I'm
being held here as a captive~~~
Ku-Chan: *on the verge of tears* Don't go... Don't go.. T_T.
Bishonen: Nani? Don't worry miss! I'm coming!!!
Ku-Chan: Nooooo~~~~ *she whacks her head with the script while Hi- Chan looks at
the scene intensely*
Upon his will, the thorn bushes gave way to the bishonen, creating a clear path
to his destination. Standing at the foot of the tower, he squinted against the
sunlight as he peered up into the windowsill. Unfortunately, the two witches
hadn't taken architecture as a main subject so there wasn't any door located
around the tower. As he took hold of the long braid of hair, the latter stopped
himself short.
If I climb using her hair, she might not be able to sustain my weight. Better to
do it this way...
"ROSE~~~ WHIP!!!"
Out of the blue, the bishonen pulls out a rose from his thick red mane and
transforms it into a whip of thorns. With superb marksmanship, he lashes out his
queer weapon to the top of the tower. The whip wraps itself around the tip of
the tower's roof before bringing the bishonen up. In exactly 3.2 seconds, his
feet touch the windowsill. On seeing the next candidate, Yuusuke smiles with
evident happiness.
Bishonen: Are you okay, miss...? What the...YUUSUKE?!!
Yuusuke (Majin): Kurama! My beloved! You're here! *grabs him in a bear hug*
Kurama: Oof. Nani?!! What's going on? Wait, Yuusuke! Wait!
YUUSUKE!!! PLEASE!!! DON'T DO THA~~~
Hiei is with the two spoilers again.
Hiei: How dare you trick me...
Ku-Chan: Hiei? HIEI!!! SAVE KURAMA!!! QUICK!!!
Hiei: Hn. I'm not fooled. That's just another one of your idiotic
tricks. Well, I'M NOT BUYING IT! *unsheathes his katana*
Hi-Chan:*rolls her eyes* Oh Yeah, it IS another trick.
Ku-Chan: Come on!!! Kurama-sama...and.. He... He... Yuusuke...
Hiei: TEMMEEEE ~~~!!!
He was just about to make 'Ku-Chan sushi' when suddenly.....
Kurama: YUUSUKE!!! IIE!!! AAHHH!!! TASUKETE!!! NO! NO! YUUSUKE!!! PLEASE!!!
DON'T ....
Yuusuke (Majin): Ooohhh... Kurama... You're all mine...
Hiei: Huh? What?! KURAMA! *disappears to the tower*
Hi-chan: KU-CHAN,QUICK!
Ku-chan: Hai!
Moving at a speed that could rival Hiei's, Ku-chan quickly grabs hold of a few
pieces of plankwood and some nails. Flying to the window,(hey, she is a fic-writer...)
she hammers the planks on to the window, making sure no one can get in or in
this case, out of the tower. The trio however is too busy struggling with one
another to notice. As the last nail is hammered in to place, she adds a few
hundred wards--
just in case.
Ku-chan and Hi-chan : We're saved !! *_*
And so the threesome spent their entire lives in the tower trying to
a) save Kurama from a deranged 'maiden'
b) figure out how to cut Yuusuke's hair and
c) not give in to the urge to chop off his head in the process
d) plot revenge against the writers of this mindless fic
e)..oh yeah, and how to get out of course..
Really, would this qualify as happily ever after??
THE END
Ed's notes : O-kay..well, that was ....zany. C&C's are totally welcome to
sole_ang3l@hotmail.com. Oh yeah, to all Yuusuke and Kuwabara fans, don't take
this too harshly kay?Ja ne!
