Setting: a 70's themed rounded stage with a dividing wall, three stools on the right of the wall and one on the left.

 

 

Open with host and co-host on stage

 

Miroku: Good evening and welcome to a very special edition of the Dating Game. Our bachelors tonight come all the way from Japan's feudal era.

Sango, if you please.

 

Sango: Bachelor #1 hails from the hills of Eastern Japan. He's faster than a speeding arrow and the leader of the Eastern wolf demon tribe. He's both feral and manly. He's Kouga!

 

Enter Kouga

 

Miroku: Welcome to the show, Bachelor #1. Why don't you tell us something about yourself?

 

Kouga: Sure. I'm hoping to find a powerful mate to bare me many pups and help me rebuild my tribe.

 

Miroku: So you're looking to be a family man. Good to know.

Sango, if you please.

 

Sango: Bachelor #2 is from Edo, Japan and had the unfortunate luck of being pinned to a tree for the last 50 years. He is our youngest bachelor at only 200 years old. He's Inu Yasha.

 

Enter Inu Yasha

 

Miroku: Welcome to the show.

 

Inu Yasha: Where am I? What's going on?

 

Miroku: Please have a seat next to Bachelor #1

 

Inu Yasha: (whispered) But he stinks like wolf.

 

Miroku: (whispered) Just do it!

Sango.

 

Sango: (clear throat) Right.

Bachelor #3 is a demon lord from Western Japan and the older brother of Bachelor #2 -

 

Inu Yasha: Half-brother!

 

Sango: (clear throat) …half-brother of the very rude Bachelor #2. He's a full blooded dog demon with an adopted human daughter and a faithful servant. He's Lord Sesshoumaru!

 

Enter Sesshoumaru

 

Miroku: Welcome to the -

 

Sesshoumaru: Silence!

 

Miroku: We just need to know a little about you -

 

Sesshoumaru: We shall kill you all.

 

Miroku: Well on that note, let's bring out our bachelorette.

 

Enter Kagome

 

Miroku: Sango.

 

Sango: Tonight's lucky bachelorette is a student in modern day Edo, or more accurately Tokyo. She is the reincarnation of an ancient priestess who was Bachelor #2's old girlfriend. How about a warm welcome for the lovely Kagome Higurashi.

 

Miroku: Yes, welcome. Please have a seat and we shall get started.

Whenever you're ready Miss Kagome.

 

Kagome: Okay. Bachelor #1, first dates are important for first impressions. What would you do on our first date?

 

Kouga: I would whisk you off your feet and bring you to meet my pack where I would introduce you as my mate.

 

Kagome: Umm…I don't know how I would feel about that. Bachelor #2?

 

Inu Yasha: Uh, I guess we could go for a walk; I just hope that we wouldn't run into my ex. She kinda wants to kill me, but, hey, what can I do? I mean she's already dead.

 

Kagome: Dead… (nervous laugh)…Bachelor #3?

 

Sesshoumaru: We do not date. If we deem one worthy of our attention, we would have a formal request sent to the head of that one's household to inform them of our intentions.

 

Kagome: How very…formal.

Next question, I guess. My family is very important to me. If I was to bring you home how would you greet my mother? Bachelor #2?

 

Inu Yasha: Uh…hi.

 

Kagome: Is that it?

 

Inu Yasha: Uh…ya.

 

Kagome: Okay…Bachelor #3?

 

Sesshoumaru: We would wait to be introduced as is befitting our station.

 

Kagome: You should be careful Bachelor #3 or people might start to think you're a little conceited.

Bachelor #1, how would you greet my mother?

 

Kouga: I'd have to give her a big hug and call her Mom.

 

Kagome: Bachelor #1 certainly is, uh…forward.

(whispered to Miroku) Isn't it about time for a commercial break?

 

Miroku: Nope. Tonight we are commercial free.

 

Kagome: Next question then?

 

Miroku: If you please, m'lady.

 

Kagome: Let's start with Bachelor #3. If we were being attacked by a crazed demon that you weren't sure you could defeat, what would you do?

 

Sesshoumaru: We have slain dragons. We can not be defeated.

 

Kagome: Definitely conceited, if not a bit of a liar -

 

Sesshoumaru: Lie! Why you impertinent -

 

Kagome: …okay, sorry. Bachelor #1, same question.

 

Kouga: I would scoop you tight into my arms and return you to the safety of our den where we could -

 

Sango: (coughing) family show.

 

Kouga: I was only going to say -

 

Sango: How `bout you, Bachelor #2?

 

Kagome: Uh, yes. Bachelor #2?

 

Inu Yasha: I'd stay and fight, unlike some people. (glare at Kouga)

 

Kouga: Is it my fault that I'd rather be a lover than a fighter?

 

Miroku: Perhaps we should move on to the next question and give Bachelors 1 & 2 a moment to cool off.

 

Kagome: Okay. Bachelor #3, it's Valentine's Day and we have a date, what gift do you greet me at the door with?

 

Sesshoumaru: Valentine's Day? We do not celebrate such human holidays.

 

Kagome: Fine. Bachelor #1?

 

Kouga: Well…Me, of course! There really would be no better present than myself!

 

Inu Yasha: I agree! I would bring you #1's head on a platter…and his -

 

Miroku: Would the Bachelors please refrain from making threats as this is a Family Program!

 

Inu Yasha and Kouga pout and growl.

 

Sango: Maybe we should just skip ahead to the last question.

 

Kagome: (silently reads question and starts to blush)

Um…um…

 

Miroku: Yes. Let's. Kagome, if you please.

 

Kagome: (whispers to Miroku) Do I have to?

 

Miroku: (whispers to Kagome) The sooner you do, the sooner we can leave.

 

Kagome: Okay…Actions often speak louder than words. If you felt it was time to take our relationship to the next level what would you do to let me know? Bachelor #1?

 

Kouga: Well, since the next level would be for us to have children, I would -

 

Miroku: While I do admire your style, Bachelor #1. Fam-i-ly Show!

 

Kagome silent and blushes.

 

Miroku: Bachelor #2.

 

Inu Yasha: Uh… (cough)…uh… (silent and blushing)

 

Miroku: Let's just move on then. Bachelor #3?

 

Kagome: Um…yes. Bachelor #3, what would you do?

 

Sesshoumaru: We would approach your family and demand you as our mate.

 

Kagome: flustered and blushing

 

Miroku: Well, now that we have finished the question part of the show. Kagome, would you please make you selection.

 

Kagome: I guess…I'd have to pick Bachelor number…
