Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Furuba Idol ❯ Round Four ( Chapter 4 )

Furuba Idol

By, Jamie1317kast

 

Critics are calling Furuba Idol " Laugh-your-ass-off-funny"! And they should, it's my best fic yet. Up for Round Four are Kyo, Akito, Tohru, Uo, and Hanajima, so don't go away and stay tuned during the commercial breaks!

 

Diclaimer: Fruits Basket is copyrighted to Natsuki Takaya, not me. I don't own any of the songs either. I don't own American Idol. And I don't own Simon either.

 

AN~ I find that it's easier to imagine this whole fic if you have the songs to actually listen to. Just a tip!

AN2~ I was going to have Akito sing 'Like A Virgin' but I think the song I chose suits the character better, even though it's not nearly as funny.

 

Rated PG-13 for language.

 

Round Four:

 

* The words 'Furuba Idol' swirl into the center of the screen, exploding outward as one piece flies by and changes the scenery. The cameras pan the large theater, showing a brilliant chandelier, hundreds of seats, and a brightly lit stage. Hell Yeah by Montgomery Gentry plays in the foreground as the camera swoops across the applauding audience. Shigure stands center stage with his microphone, and his voice becomes audible as the music dies down.*

 

Shigure: * complaining* Ha'ri, my bandages hurt. Oh-am I on?

 

Hatori: * sweatdrop* you're on.

 

Shigure: oh! * nervous laugh* we~ll now, WELCOME BACK to Furuba Idol, I hope the commercial break wasn't too long or too boring.

 

Akito: well that's a no-brainer.

 

Hatori: Akito, you're supposed to be backstage!

 

Akito: yeah, whatever. * wanders backstage*

 

Shigure: first up is Kyo, c'mon out Kyonkichi.

 

Kyo: don't call me that! * hits Shigure over the head w/ his own microphone, pushes him off stage*

 

Shigure: aaah! * falls off stage apron* Ha'ri, I'm bleeding again.

 

Hatori: good.

 

Shigure: 0.0'

 

Akito: * shouting from the wings* FIX HIM OR YOU'RE FIRED!

 

Hatori: * shouts back* what if I hate my job anyway?

 

Ayame: * from backstage* you hate your job Tori-san?

 

Hatori: * twitch, stands up on his chair* YES! I CONFESS! I HATE MY JOB! I wanted to be a painter, but noooo..they said I had to be a Doctor.. * mutter, gripe*

 

All: a painter? O.o'

 

Hatori: wait! That's right! It's not too late! I could still cut off an ear…

 

Akito: but I NEED my doctor!

 

Shigure: but, Ha'ri, you're a GREAT doctor! You can't quit! And I'm still bleeding, you can't let me just DIE!

 

Hatori: yes I can, easily. You're always so mean to me, taking me fishing, getting me seahorses for my birthday, asking me if I can speak 'whale'.. I know I'd serve the world better as a painter anyway…

 

Akito: somebody stop him!

 

Kyo: I'll do it!

 

Akito: ha! Excuse me, but you're a nobody, in case you've forgotten.

 

Tohru: um, please don't go Hatori-san. We'd all miss you too much if you left, besides, you're the best doctor I've ever seen. * sparkle, sparkle*

 

Hatori: * pause*

 

Tohru: pleeeease?

 

Hatori: * he sits down* just sing your song Kyo.

 

Shigure: um, I'm still bleeding.

 

Hatori: * sigh, throws Shigure some bandages* do it yourself, I'll examine you later.

 

* 3 Doors Down music starts to play, finally*

 

Kyo: I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind, I left my body lyin' somewhere in the sands of time. I watched the world go to the dark side of the moon, I feel there's nothin' I can do. I watched the world go to the dark side of the moon, after all I knew I feel it had to be somethin' to do with you. I really don't mind what happens now and then, 'long as you'll be my friend at the end! If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman?..

 

Shigure: * now sitting in his chair* he's not bad.

 

Hatori: it's all for Tohru, of course.

 

Shigure: * sigh* of course.

 

* music stops and Kyo exits stage left as Akito enters stage left*

 

Akito: * in Kyo's direction* BOO! YOUR SINGING SUCKS MY MOM!!

 

Hatori: oh my..

 

Shigure: I've done that.

 

Hatori: O.O Shigure..?

 

Shigure: yes, Ha-san?

 

Hatori: keep it in your pants, please.

 

Shigure: * wounded look* if I must. * sigh* you spoil all my fun! * river of tears*

 

Hatori: yes I do. Stop crying.

 

* Wicked music starts to play*

 

Akito: No one mourns the wicked. No one cries, " they won't return!". No one puts a lily on their grave..no one mourns the wicked, the wicked die alone…

 

* music stops*

 

Kyo: WELL YOUR SINGING SUCKED MY DAD!

 

Kazuma: Kyo! Watch your language young man!

 

Kyo: oops..

 

* Akito stomps off stage in a huff, stage left as Tohru enters stage right*

 

Tohru: ^_^

 

All anti-Tohru fans in audience: * blegh*

 

* Annie music starts to play*

 

Tohru: the sun'll come out tommorow, bet your bottom dollar that tommorow, there'll be sun. Just thinkin' about tommorow, clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow, 'till there's none. When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely, I just stick out my chin and grin, and say.. the sun'll come out tommorow, so you gotta hang on 'till tommorow, come what may! Tommorow, tommorow, I love ya tommorow, you're always a day away!…

 

Akito: * back in his seat* I THINK I'm gonna be sick.

 

* music stops*

 

Uo & Hana: * run out on stage and hug Tohru* you were wonderful Tohru!

 

Tohru: awww, you guys are great!

 

All 3: * sparkle, sparkle*

 

Akito: now I'm definitely going to be sick.

 

Shigure: * hands him a brown bag* be my guest.

 

Hatori: * sweatdrop* Uotani-san, Hanajima-san, what are you two doing here?

 

Uo: well, we thought that we'd perform too, since Tohru was singin' an' all.

 

Hana: yes, of course.

 

Hatori: well, you're not on the list.

 

Hana: of course this is just for fun.

 

Uo: right.

 

Shigure: I say we let them sing, it can't do any harm.

 

Akito: sez you, SHE STOLE KURENO! * point*

 

Uo: * rolls her eyes* yeah, yeah, we've heard it before.

 

Akito: * eyebrow twitchy*

 

* Uo gets Tohru's microphone and Hana and Tohru exit stage left as S Club 7 music starts to play*

 

Uo: oohh.. everybody's got something they had to leave behind. One regret from yesterday, that just seems to grow with time. There's no use lookin' back or wonderin', how it could be now or might have been. All this I know, but still I can't find ways to let you go. I never had a dream come true, 'till the day that I found you…

 

Kureno: * from somewhere in the audience* I LOVE YOU ARISA!!

 

Uo: * blush, continue singing*

 

Akito: * grumbling obcenities*

 

* music stops*

 

Audience: * cheer*

 

Random male audience member: UO, YOU'RE HOT! Ah-* is beaten up by Kureno* medic…

 

* Uo hands Hana the microphone as she exits stage, stage left and Hana enters from stage left.*

 

* Destiny's Child music starts to play*

 

Hana: it's over and done, but the heartache lives on inside. And who is the one you're clingin' to, instead of me tonight? And where are you now, now that I need you? Tears on my pillow where ever you go, cry me a river that leads to your ocean. You'll never see me fall apart, in the words of a broken heart it's just emotions takin' me over. Caught up in sorrow, lost in the sun. but if you don't come back, come home to me darlin'...

 

Shigure: interesting choice, she has a beautiful voice.

 

Hatori: let's judge them, it makes things more interesting.

 

Shigure: yes, let's.

 

* music stops. Hana starts to walk off stage but Shigure motions for here to stop*

 

Hana: am I going to be judged?

 

Shigure: yes. You and Arisa both. * leans into his microphone* could all of this episodes' contestants come out on stage please?

 

* all contestants re-enter. Kyo, Akito, Tohru, Uo, and Hana line up on stage*

 

Shigure: Kyo, can you come forward please?

 

Kyo: ye-

 

Akito: you SUCK.

 

Hatori: not bad.

 

Shigure: Appropriate choice, you pass.

 

Akito: WHAT?!

 

Kyo: whoa! O.o … I pass?

 

Shigure: yes, now get off stage before Akito kills you.

 

* Kyo runs off stage*

 

Akito: he can't pass! He's the Cat!

 

Hatori: being the Cat has nothing to do with singing talent.

 

Akito: yes it does!

 

Hatori: no it doesn't.

 

Shigure: * ignoring* Akito?

 

Akito: * stops arguing* yeees? * batting eyelashes innocently*

 

Shigure: if we don't pass you, will you kill us?

 

Akito: * glare* yes.

 

Shigure & Hatori: you pass.

 

Akito: but did you like my song?

 

Shigure & Hatori: of course we liked your song.

 

Akito: GOOD. * sits back down at the judges table* let's keep judging.

 

Shigure: but, we already picked our two.

 

Akito: you may have, but I haven't. I get to pick a THIRD person because I SAY SO.

 

Shigure & Hatori: of course you do, Akito.

 

Akito: damn right I do. You! * points at Tohru*

 

Tohru: um, yes Akito-san?

 

Akito: I hated your song, get off my stage.

 

Tohru: um, okay. * wanders off stage*

 

Akito: you, bitch! * points at Uo* YOU TOOK KURENO, GET OFF MY STAGE!

 

Uo: whatevah… * goes to comfort Tohru*

 

Akito: you, goth-girl!

 

Hana: yes?

 

Akito: you pass because you're the only one left and because your song wasn't that bad.

 

Hana: thank you. * goes off to comfort Tohru and Uo, both of whom congratulate her on passing*

 

Shigure: * back up center stage* well, that was unexpected. But the next round of chapters promise to be even more exciting than the first round, and believe me, that's pretty damn exciting! The contestants who have made it onto the second round are;
