Andrea and Brian's Crazy Cross Over Anime

CH. 9a : AN OPERATIC INTERLUDE (not really long enough to be it’s own chappie! Plus, I already said only two more!)

           This was to be their final night in this crazy fiction (hopefully)!  And the characters’ moods had greatly improved since Yukina had hit them all over the head.  The air was clear, the breeze was cool, the stars where shining, the flying turtles were um…. Chirping, buzzing, I’m not sure, the fairies were glowing, and Hiei was singing.  It was a perfect –

           *SCREEEEEEEEECH*

           Wait, rewind.

           Hiei was SINGING!?

           This can’t be good.

           “Oh solo mio! Oh solo mio, la la da deyah! (sorry, don’t know the rest of the words.)

           “Hmm,” Kurama took his bowl of stew and sat next to Yusuke and Botan, “I didn’t know Hiei knew Italian.” He said casually.

           “He has a nice voice though.” Botan observed, closing her eyes and swaying slightly in tempo.  (What’s wrong with these people?  Don’t any of them realize that this is just weird!?)

           The music stopped.

           “Oh, but it was so pretty.” Sakura sighed.

           “Wasn’t it though?” Misty turned to Ash, “Why don’t you ever sing to me Ash?”  Ash gulped and backed away.

           “Uh, I, ah ha ha.”  ^_^u He sweat dropped.

           Meanwhile, in other places…

           The author drummed her fingers against the table, truly bored. They were taking forever.  <Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t have made that rule about no magic travel, Koenma’s going to have a conniption if I don’t send these guys home soon>  The author stood and went to the window.  She stared out at the stars.

           <What shall I do while I wait?> then she got an idea! She grinned evilly and rubbed her hands together.  Ohhh yes, this would be an interesting night.

 ***

          An observer standing outside the clearing would have been very, very, veeeeeeeery, confused. (and probably a little scared).  You see, there was a large group of people camping out, and they all seemed to have gone… well, crazy!

           They were running in circles and… they were singing. 

           And not just singing, Oh no.  They were singing opera.

           *Shudder* *GASP*

           Said observer, of course, would have no idea who these strange, deranged, teenagers were.  They would only see a boy chasing a girl, singing of his love for her, two boys singing of a great battle, and many teens singing complete nonsense.  And I do mean complete nonsense.  Flying cows, stolen hats, talking signs, despising the author…

           Hey, wait?  Despising the author.  *Author glares* Ungrateful brats!  After all I’ve done for them.

           Ahem, apologies.  Anyway…

           That is what an observer would have seen, but since you – my friend – know who each and every one of these people are, I will attempt to explain it to you.

           You see, it all started when, well… You know, I’m not quite sure how it started.  But I’m pretty sure it was Hiei’s fault.  I mean, he was the one singing Italian love arias right?

          Well, I guess that put Sakura in the mood, because she suddenly started singing about flying.  Don’t ask me why.  Maybe she had cabin fever.  But it just kind of came out.  Now, mind you, this is in an operatic style…

           So, Sakura stands up, and starts to sing about flying, and the staff, and the first time fly allowed her to fly without the staff.  She’s singing a story basically.  And when she gets to some general stuff she goes and touches Yue on the shoulder, and he starts singing too!

           So they’re singing like, “Soar! Feel the wind on your face! As the breeze flutters by! You are high in the sky!”  - and mind you, this is opera.  So it’s really loud and high and… weird. 

           Evidently this put Kuwabara in the mood too, because he grabbed Yukina (he'd already put Julian down) and began singing some crazy German operatic number. (He knows GERMAN!? Who knew *shrug* guess all those brain cells had to have some use) And of course, no one knew what he was saying ‘cuz they don’t speak German, and heck –neither do I.  So we’ll move on.

           By now Botan was singing about her oar, and the freedom it gives her, and how it’s not so bad to be death if it means you get to fly.  Then Sakura and Yue join her, “Fly! Let the wind take you high! As you travel along! Flying so high you are soaring above all the clouds and the worries below…”

           Now, maybe Yusuke was just trying to block them all out (or drown them all out), and maybe he went crazy, but he started singing too.  He grabbed Keiko, pulling her up to a standing position and began to sing about how she was his whole world. (sickening I know), and really, he kinda started sounding like something out of West Side story, or Phantom or something.

           Which brings me to Yami Bakura, who is quite possibly the scariest of them all.

           Yami Bakura began to sing Angel of the Night, rather absently. And then his eyes fell on what he decided was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen… Misty.  He felt a pang in his heart, how had he missed it before?  He loved her! (yuck)  Now all that was left was to let her know.  Running to her he fell to his knees and sang of his love.  And she, did what any sensible girl would have done…

           She ran screaming for her life.

           Yami Bakura of course chased after her, all the while singing about how his heart would always be hers.

           And she sang out a cry for help, “Oh Ash! Save me my hero, please save me!” she sang.

           “Come to me my love,” sang Yami Bakura, “I would steal the moon for you,” (sheesh, even OoC and in love he’s a thief).  “I hate the authoress for doing this to me.”

           “Oh shut up and SING!!!” I commanded (hee hee, told you this was an evil idea ^_^ I’m so happy!)

           Ash was going to rescue her, but at that moment Takuya appeared, singing about his hat, and how he loved his hat.  Now Ash, as we all know, loves his hat dearly – and, not to be outdone, he began to sing about his hat as well.  Which left poor Misty singing a twisted version of the Phantom of the Opera theme as Bakura chased her, calling her his angel.

           Kenshin and Hiei had suddenly realized that they had quite a bit in common (ignoring the fact that Hiei is a ruthless killer and Kenshin has vowed never to kill again).  It was their swords really, and they began to sing of the history of swordsmen and sword demons.

           Yukina and Keiko were by now swooning (even though Yukina had no idea what Kuwabara was saying and he sang awful) and had begun to sing about the joys of love, and how they would cast princes aside for their loves.

           Ash and Takuya were still singing about hats, and were now arguing with Li (who despised most hats, as they were part of his school uniform) and whether or not hats were ‘cool’.  Which brought Lan and Megaman over, and as Megaman had never been without his hat (err… helmet) Lan began to sing a story of the hat he lost when he was five.

           Kenshin and Hiei had by now moved on to a spectacular piece regarding the legendary sword Excalibur, it was vaguely Celtic, with a touch of the Valkerie (that’d be that annoying Viking song where the fat lady with rams horns on her head sings up in the rafters – and don’t even ask me how those two got that high). 

           Seeing that the others were currently occupied, and Yugi and Bakura had no desire to duel him, Yami approached Shizeru to ask her to join him in a duet. It was a stunning number filled with emotion (and really high notes – the key was off the page – and once again, don’t ask me how they hit those notes, especially Yami!)  It was touching *sniff* (as if!)  As the last dramatic notes faded into a tender love song, Yugi and Bakura dipped their oars into the water and guided the gondola (wait! Where’d they get a gondola?  And I didn’t think there was any water in this scene!) and began to croon one of those Italian love songs gondoliers always seem to have lying around. (Hey! They know Italian too?  No fair!) 

           Misty screeched as she ran past Ash, hoping to avoid Yami Bakura.  Who, between cunning lines of love poetry, was cursing the author by every god known to Egypt, and mixing in some colorful British terms as well.

           “My angel, come to me… Oh bloody Ra – I sound like a fool!  Set curse you authoress!!! I love thee, my angel…”

           (((O))) _ (((O))) (that’s me, I’m scared) That was a quick skitz change huh?

           “And my hat! Who took my hat! WHO TOOK MY HAT!!!” (think Lan singing opera o.Ou)

           “You must find the sword, oh chosen one! No other sword has ever shone as bright.  Only this one can bring back the light!”

           “Nacht, stille nacht. Nacht mein leibchen.” (that’s something like ‘night, silent night, night my darling’ in German, but my word order is probably all wrong)

           “Amor, mi amor..”

                                        “His love…”

                                                            “Mi amor, tu…”

                                                                                          “Her love, you…”

          Bakura pulled a violin from wherever they got the gondola and the cute hats (oh, did I mention they were wearing hats? Well, they were ^_^) and began to play it.

           “To feel the wind on your face…” (that’s the first group, Sakura, Yue, and Botan, in case you forgot.)

           “And oh how you’ve changed me! My life would be so sad without you… But if you ever tell at school I’ll beat the ** out of you!” (YUSUKE! For shame!)

           “Ah love, ah love! I would leave my kingdom for you..”

           “Hey, Keiko? You don’t have a kingdom.”

           “Oh!”

           And that was about the gist of it.

           Oh, WAIT! I just scrolled back up and realized that I had said they were talking about flying cows and talking signs.  So… umm.  Yeah, in Yukina’s and Keiko’s imaginary kingdoms they have flying cows for pets and talking signs, and they would give those up for Yusuke and Kuwabara.  Um… yeah *_*u whatever…

           So, that’s all… Oh! And, um… any one I left out is singing about bread.  Yeah, that’s it.  Bread.  Rye bread, wheat bread, sourdough... uh… yeah…  (I think that’s Kurama, Puu, and Julian – but he’s asleep)  Yep, that’s everyone.

           And all in all it was just… well…

            Scary!

  ~~~~

O.Ouuu WHAT WAS THAT!? 

Don't look at me.  I'm still trying to figure out how Yugi got that hat on.

Where in the world did they get a gondola?!?!

Uh, gee, I don't know... maybe ITALY!!!

SHADDUP!
