"God Bless The Bird-Clock"
a Fushigi Yuugi fanfic
by the Princess
|
*** Narrator: Have you ever seen those clocks with bird's pictures on every hour? Every time they strike the hour, they do it according to whatever bird is on there. OK, I'm doing a shitty job of explaining. Sorry. For instance, instead of a 12, they have a hooting owl, and instead of gonging 12 times, it makes a hooting noise. Yeah, those clocks. Don't you hate 'em? Wouldn't you like to send them all into TFTBBNC?* One would THINK that any sane human would despise the things...but I digress. My point here, unfortunately, is that now we must treat these clocks with upmost respect. For it was one of their own who killed the Grand High Bitch of Upper Butt-Crack, the Queen of Bitchdom, the Most Stereotypical Whiner-Slut of them all...Miaka. [Suddenly, a chorus of eager female voices echos Narrator.] Hentais: Yea! Yea killing bitches! [As Narrator continues, we see various scenes from the relevant episodes of Fushigi Yuugi.] Narrator: Miaka, as most people are aware, was teleported back to her own world right around Episode Seven. While she was only away for a day or so by her reckoning, the constellations thus far --Hotohori, Nuriko, and Tamahome-- were without her for three months. While Tamahome was traumatized to the point of eating entire cabinets of china and getting guano in his hair... [Onscreen, Tamahome is munching on a plate. Nuriko catches him right before he swallows, grabs the plate from his hands, and bashes it over his head. Bits of porcelain go everywhere, and Tama-baby's eyes turn into glittering stars, a la Roger Rabbit.] Tamahome: Oooo! Stars! Narrator: ...Nuriko and Hotohori were somewhat less affected. [Scene switches to a forlorn Emperor-sama in the garden. He is staring despondently into a goldfish pool. Nuriko comes up behind him and touches him on the shoulder, smiling gently.] Narrator: To be fair, the emperor DID mope around for a solid
month. Then again, with Nuriko there
to cheer him up... [Much later at night. It's obvious that the two have been outside, talking eagerly, the entire time. Hotohori laughs at something Nuriko says, and the purple-haired man blushes, pleased.] Narrator: As we hentais have always prayed for, the emperor and his fellow constellation became an item. [Gently taking Nuriko's face in his hands, Hotohori kisses the other man.] Hentais: Yea yaoi! [Onscreen, Hori-sama gets on his knees and offers Nuriko a huge diamond. Turning as purple as his hair, the other constellation shakes his head.] Hentais: Yea gay marriage! [Homophobe collapses on the proposal scene, twitching and bleeding profusely from the nose. Hotohori and Nuriko both give him weird glances. A hand grabs the Homophobe and drags him offscreen, leaving his goggles behind. The two constellations shrug.] Narrator: (very frustrated) As all good things must end, so Miaka had to get back into the book. (aside) Damn! Hoped she'd stay lost this time...[As she goes on, the scenes she talks about take place onscreen.] Being the brain-dead chick she was, she was mentally incapable of noticing anything between Nuriko and Hotohori...despite that the former had moved into the latter's room. Also, because she's bizarre like that, she brought souveniers with her from Tokyo. [Onscreen, Miaka hands each of the constellations their presents as the Narrator lists them. Each of the men do their best to keep a straight face.] Narrator: To Nuriko, Miaka presented a Jigglypuff keychain, a pair of toe socks, three cans of jalapeno- flavored Spam, and a gigantic stuffed tiger. For Hotohori, she had a model kit for Ultimate WEAPON, a T-Shirt reading "Truman, You're On TV", an empty matchbox from the Longhorn Steakhouse, and a 24-pack of strawberry-flavored condoms which she'd mistaken for balloons. [As Ho-ri recieves the condoms, he casts Nuriko a decidedly wicked glance. The two men cackle.] Hentais: Yea strawberry-flavored condoms! [Miaka, bouncing and peppy, bounds out of the room. The second she goes, the three men burst into gales of tear-jerking laughter.] Narrator: And, oh yes--Miaka had brought for herself some
decent razor blades, and a bird clock. With
extra batteries. [The characters act it out onscreen as Narrator speaks.] Narrator: She hung the clock up on the wall in her bathroom. It ticked away just above her mirror, making its goddam chirping noise on the hour, every hour. Poor Tama-baby, who was gleefully sharing Miaka's bed, was nearly driven crazy. He'd be THIS CLOSE to falling asleep, when from the bathroom would come a bellowing "EEKEEKEEKEEK!" He'd jump up, thinking that Miaka had found a cockroach in her underwear or something, but no! it was always that fucking wren! [Focus on a closed bedroom door. Questionable noises and groans of pleasure can be clearly heard.] Narrator: You can guess which of Hotohori's presents he and
Nuriko enjoyed immensely... [Switch to Suzaku's altar. A fire is burning merrily at its base.] Narrator: All the other stuff was burned on Suzaku's altar, along with the most annoying of the advisors. [As she speaks, a short, pissy-looking guy is thrown on the fire. He screams and contorts as he quickly burns into ash.] Hentais: Yea ritualistic murder! [Onscreen, Hotohori gets on his knees again, and offers the same diamond. This time, Nuriko quickly snatches the ring, shoves it on the right finger, and pins the emperor to the ground. The camera doesn't show what's going on, but one can guess.] Hentais: Damn! We can't see! [Hotohori and Nuriko pop up into view. The emperor looks disheveled, and his partner's makeup is smeary.] Nuriko: No, there isn't! [Switch to outside of palace. It's black as pitch, with all the lights off but one.] Narrator: It was getting up towards midnight, the night it happened. Nuriko and Hotohori, after several hours of bliss, had dropped into sleep. [Show the two men sleeping, with their arms draped around each other.] Hentais: Yea bliss! [Switch to Tamahome. Alone in bed, he has a huge knot on his forehead and is drooling profusely.] Narrator: Miaka, because she's really stupid like that, was shaving her legs in the bathroom. She was the only soul in the palace still awake. [Switch to Miaka in the bathroom. She is standing with one leg propped up on the sink for maximum shaving range. Every 6.810592637980251 seconds, she makes a whimper noise as she nicks herself with the razor. The shaving cream on her legs has gone pink.] Narrator: Suddenly, she blinked as a thought occured to her. [Miaka blinks.] Miaka: A thought just occured to me. Why the hell am I doing
this now, instead of in the morning? [The clock goes off. Miaka gasps and loses her grip on the razor. She slips and falls. Five rapid cracks accompany her fall, like M-60's all in a row. Her eyes bulge in anime-style shock as she opens her big mouth to scream:] Miaka: TAMA-BABYYYYYYYYYYY! [In the Emperor's bedroom. Hotohori pokes his head up from under the tangle of sheets and their bodies.] Hotohori: Did you hear that? [Back in the bathroom, Miaka struggles fruitlessly to stand.] Narrator: Her right leg nothing but a bundle of broken
toothpicks, Miaka struggled fruitlessly to stand. [Miaka struggles, falls, hits her head. Little chibi versions of Cow and Chicken dance around her head as she slips into unconsciousness.] Narrator: She bled to death from her razor nicks before
anybody found her, which was a good five days
later. [We're shown Miaka's bedroom. Chichiri enters. He looks worriedly at Tamahome, who hadn't moved in five days.] Chichiri: Tamahome? Are you alive no da? [Chichiri goes into the bathroom, and gasps. The tile floor is covered with a scum of blood. Miaka lays prone on the floor, whiter than a vampire's victim.] Chichiri: ... ... ... I didn't see anything no da. I saw
nothing no da. Nothing no da! I'm not even
supposed to be here yet no da! [Onscreen, we see the very end of the marriage ceremony. Hotohori lifts the veil and kisses an ecstatic Nuriko with infinite gentleness.] Narrator: They adopted twenty kids and lived long, happy
lives. Miaka was buried in an unmarked grave
and quickly forgotten. [Switch to a desert-canyon. The wind whistles and howls, blowing sand everywhere. A coyote sniffs at a suspicious mound in the earth, and eagerly starts digging for a treat.] Hentai leader: (sings) And it's one more bitch up in the
canyon... ~OWARI~ |
