SessyRyo: Because you've appeared before, I'll probably move a couple others before you. But I do promise you'll co-host before the show goes "Off-Air!"
Battle 9: Love triangle
ahem Welcome back to Anime Smackdown! The only game show where you get to decide which anime character is best! I'm Hikari Boorei! This week, we will see Hotohori and Yuuhi duke it out for the "Love triangle" award! Now, introducing your guest host, Kaeru Soyokaze!
Kaeru steps out
Kaeru Soyokaze: Thank you! Now, let's bring out our contestants! The Emperor Saihitei, better known as Hotohori, and Yuuhi Aogiri!
Yuuhi: Hello! I'm—
Hotohori: interrupts Behold with reverence my glorious good looks! I am Hotohori, Emperor of Konan!
Yuuhi: erm...okay....
Kaeru Soyokaze: All right then, let's get this show started! Take your seats, Gentlemen! First of all, who is it that you are in love with?
Hotohori: Miaka, the beautiful priestess of Suzaku!
Hikari: scoffs That gluttonous klutz?
Hotohori: pins Hikari with the glare of death What was that?
Hikari sweatdrop nothing, nothing!
Kaeru Soyokaze: And you, Yuuhi?
Yuuhi: Aya Mikage, who is also the tennyo Ceres.
Kaeru Soyokaze: Well, I think Yuuhi gets that point. Miaka was courageous, but she still needed seven bodyguards just to keep her from getting killed. Aya had common sense, and Ceres could kick butt. First point goes to Yuuhi!
Yuuhi: Woohoo! All right!
Hotohori: glares
Kaeru Soyokaze: so now, the other side of this contest—who is your rival in love?
Yuuhi: flatly Toya. Glares
Hotohori: Tamahome of the Suzaku seven.
Kaeru Soyokaze: You must be a real loser is Tamahome was more appealing than you. At least Toya had sex appeal. Point goes to Yuuhi!
Hotohori: I'm an emperor... I could have you beheaded for that...
Hikari: Only in Konan, dear. On the set you're only here to amuse us. smirk
Kaeru Soyokaze: No threatening the hosts! Now, on to the next question. What did you have to offer to your beloved?
Hotohori: I could've made her an empress! I could have given her a palace and everything she ever wanted, not to mention the most handsome husband in the kingdom!
Hikari: So now....where was I when you were single??? Ducks
Kaeru Soyokaze: And you, Yuuhi?
Yuuhi: So maybe I didn't have much, and I was still living with my sister! Love should outweigh material objects!
Kaeru Soyokaze: Melts Oh, Yuuhi! heart heart
Hikari: Gee, I dunno....that whole palace thing is pretty appealing!
Kaeru Soyokaze: puppy eyes But....but! How can you say no to that! So romantic! Such devotion!
Hikari: shrugs You're the guest host here.
Kaeru Soyokaze: Yay! Yuuhi wins! Yuuhi wins! dances
Hotohori: scowls
Kaeru Soyokaze: recovers Okay, next question. Do you ever get over your infatuation with her, and who do you end up with?
Hotohori: I go on to marry Houki and I gave Miaka and Tamahome my blessings, but I never really did get over Miaka.
Yuuhi: Well, it did take me a while, but I eventually came to appreciate Chidori's affections, and if she were still alive I'm sure we could have been much more than we were. I've come to see Aya and Toya as friends.
Kaeru Soyokaze: Devotion is romantic and all, but being a shmuck gets annoying. Yuuhi gets the point, and wins the Love Triangle contest! Congratulations, Yuuhi! glomps
Yuuhi: Thanks! sweatdrop um, not so tight, Kaeru!
Hikari: One round of applause for our host, Kaeru Soyokaze! Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you again next time for The Cutest: Chiriko vs. Chidori!
Amiboshi-chan: Want to appear in an episode of Anime Smackdown? Let me know when you vote! One person will have a chance to co-host with Hikari Boorei in each episode. Not everyone will get a chance, but the first to ask will get into the next chapter!
