Standard disclaimer. The figures belong to their creator, Monsieur Yoshihiro Togashi. The musical with its libretto belongs to Mr. Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse and Atlantic Theatre. Anyway, they do not belong to me at all, and have their respective copyright owner. I just modified the plot lines.
This is my first produced musicale, so I’m not sure if it’s funny. Is everyone familiar with the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?? Anyway, the story is simple. Dr. Jekyll invented a chemical to separate the goodness and evilness in man, but his experiment failed in the sense that Dr. Jekyll could not destroy his alter ego, Mr. Hyde. It was a tragic tale, but my version would not be an angst story. So, don’t worry. Light Yaoi, no sex, don’t worry.J

Before the rehearsal, there were a myriad of complains, as usual. Moondance-san this, Moondance that, got me, the omnipotent fanfic writer (one among my many colleagues, of course), very pissed off.
"Shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed finally. All fell silent, stunned at the rare outburst from the normally sweet and gentle (you dare to snicker, Kuwabara?!?! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!) writer. Satisfied by the result, I glanced around, fixing everyone with an evil glint in my eye. "Now, if you have any complaint, do it one by one. But!!" Here I gave my most sadistic grin. Even Hiei shrank back a little. "Anyone that make me think that he or she is making an unnecessary fuss, I’ll condemn that person to appear in a song fic of Barbie Girl!!" Every face froze into shock at the proclaim of such a fearsome fate. "Do you understand!!!!"
The eagerness that enveloped the entire cast eased my anger somewhat. "Okay, Kurama. You go first. What have you got to say?" Kurama peered at me nervously behind his script.
"Well, Moondance-san, I don't think the first song "I need to know" is appropriate to our theme."
"Of course it is, Kurama. Didn't you read the new lyrics?!" I snapped at the poor Kurama, who hurried away to learn his new lines. "Kuwabara, your turn."
The Great-Man was almost in tears. "Moondance, why must Yukina marry Kurama? Please, I want to marry her! Please~~~~~~~~~~~~" His whine turned every face into an interesting shade of purple.
"Don't worry, Kuwabara. Yukina will not be with Kurama forever. Just go and read the script!" Really, didn’t anyone read the script!! Kuwabara seemed on the verge of protest, but the image of his singing ‘you can undress me anywhere’ sent him scurrying.
The biggest troublemaker spoke now. "Why do I have to dress up in this!!!!!!!!" Hiei growled, plucking at his costume.
"Why, you look pretty nice in black and red. Brings out the color of your eyes nicely." My smirk nearly drove Hiei crazy.
"A dress?!?! And it's so skimpy!! Like the things you wear on beaches!! And what is the ridiculous things that I have to wear!!!" Hiei almost spluttered in his rage. I noticed that the ‘very’ short skirt showed his legs prettily. As well as a little bit of bum. I thought the black lace peeking there was very sexy.
"That's called a garter, Hiei. Now stop plucking at them, or else, I chuckled in a particularly nasty voice. "I’ll get Yukina to do your part!!!" This is such a powerful threat that Hiei disappeared quicker than foam on the sea.
Finally, I got bored of their meaningless complains and whining. "Let's get to it, guys! Act 1!"
Act1
Prologue
Voice (Kurama):
In each (or some) of us there are two lives. If this duality of personality, human and youkai, can be housed in separate identities and switched at will, life will be relieved of all that is unbearable.
It is the curse of mankind that these polar twins should be constantly struggling...
(Moondance: Kurama, are you ready?)
(Kurama: Well..)
(Moondance: Don't well me, just go!)
Scene 1
Kurama as Minamino Shuiichi stood in the middle of a laboratory, stirring and mixing like mad.
I need to know the nature of the Youko that possess
My soull!
I need to know why Youko's content to let Shuiichi make him less
Than whole.
Why does Youko hides in secret and darkness?
What is that makes me be less than I should?
Why am I doomed not to reach my potential?
My ki is weak when Youko turns his back
Upon Ningenkai.
I need to go
Where no one has ventured before
To search for the key to the door
That will end all this tragic and senseless waste
But How to go?
I need to know!
Dear Inari, guide me
Show me how to succeed!
With your wisdom inside me,
Minamino Shuiichi will follow wherever you lead!
(Bravo!! Bravo!!! Everyone cheered like mad at Kurama’s virtuous performance. He bowed, and smiled a shyly.)
*********************************************************************
Scene 2
The engagement party of Dr. Shuiichi Jekyll and Miss Yukina Carew was held in the Carew residence. The scene opens in a huge ballroom where everyone was happily chatting and drinking. Two people, however, stood in the corner, gossiping.
Kazuma Stride: Lady Botan!! Pss, PSS!!! Where is that irresponsible, inconsiderate, thrice-to-be-damned Shuiichi?!?!(Kurama: …………)
Lady Botan: I've heard that he's involved with a certain lady of the oldest occupation of human kind…(Moondance: Idiot!!! They haven’t met yet!!!!!!!) I’m kidding!! Perhaps he is too busy to come!
At this moment, Sir Yusuke Carew step into the spotlight.
Sir Yusuke Carew: My dear Kazuma, you're so gracious to wish Yukina and Shuiichi Henry both well.
Kazuma Stride: Dammit, Yusuke! I don't want to wish them well. I want to cry….*sniffing loudly* OH MY YUKINA~~~~~WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME~~~~~~~
Everyone sweated.
(Moondance danced in with a wad of script and knocked Kuwabara on the head. Kuwabara glared at her, but turned docile when she flashed him the lyric of Dr. Jones)
Sir Yusuke Carew (okay, once again): My dear Kazuma, you’re so gracious to wish
Yukina and Shuiichi both well.
Kazuma Stride: (Gnashing his teeth) Dear Sir Yusuke, as you know, sir. I wish Yukina the sun and the moon! But I have to confess that I wish Shuiichi Jekyll in hell!
(A point of silver appeared at his neck from an unseen source under the table. Luckily, Shuiichi arrived at the scene of murder....no, attempted murder.)
Yomi: Shuiichi! At last. What could possibly be more important than your own engagement party?
Shuiichi Jekyll (murmuring "this is not the engagement party that I want."): Yomi, I am close to a breakthrough discovery! Something spectacular, something sublime! Finally, a light in the darkness has come to me! Now it is only a matter of time! Soon, we'll be able to revert back to our life of crime and depravity! Blessed be the name of Inari!
Kazuma Stride (Appeared as a ghost behind Kurama): Dr. Jekyll, may I be the first to wish you and your bride-to-be peace and prosperity? (Not over my dead bones!)
Shuiichi Jekyll: Mr. Stride, it’s most civil of you to say that as you do, wish such patent sincerity! (Man, I don’t want to marry Yukina!)
Scene 3 (Wow, no death yet!)
Shuiichi and Yukina were standing on the balcony outside the ballroom. Through windows, figures could be seen dancing and chatting. A dark somber figure slumped over the bar at the far end, later identified as Kazuma Stride, drinking himself silly.
Shuiichi Jekyll: Yukina, why did you agree to play this part?
Yukina Carew: Moondance-san promised me that if I perform this role, she'll find my brother for me.
Shuiichi Jekyll: You don't trust Hiei anymore?
Yukina Carew: No no. I just thought that Hiei-kun is very busily involved with...(blush) you know.
Shuiichi Jekyll: (Blushing) Yes, I know. Hmm...are you in the mood to sing?
Yukina Carew: Not really...
Shuiichi Jekyll: My thought exactly! Inari, I want to get to the bar scene.
(Hiei murmured darkly: I don’t.)
Lady Mukuro: Since the actors were disinclined to sing, I’ll give a plot summary. Which is, they declared their love for each other and determination to see the experiment through. Now let’s get on with the play, I want to see the bar scene too!!
(Hiei: Hn!)
Act 2
Shuiichi Jekyll: My chemical is on the brink of success, and my experiment on animals had succeeded. Can I have a human, pretty please??
Kazuma Stride: Waaaaaaaaaaaait a second. You tried that on animals?! So that’s why my kitty cat was gone???? Give her back to me, you robber-of-Yukina, give her back to me!!!
Shuiichi Jekyll: Which she do you mean? If the kitty she, I didn't take her. I think Lady Shizuru had her. Miss Yukina will go back to you at the end of the play. I have someone else on my mind.
(For some reason, Hiei blushed)
Lord Koenma: So who did you try it on?
Shuiichi Jekyll: You would never guess, Lord Koenma. One day, Itsuki came to see me, bring with him a 10 feet tall white rat, and said he was willing to offer it as my experiment animal. Gosh, wasn’t it fierce! It almost took my arm off in a blast of ratty ki. (Itsuki: Watch your mouth.) Finally, I managed to force the chemical down to its throat, and………..
Sir Yusuke: And what?????
Shuiichi Jekyll: It changed into an old friend….Sensui!!!!!!
Lord Koenma: What?!?!?! Sensui is back as a human??
Shuiichi Jekyll: Umm...no, not quite. You see, the chemical was not quite ready yet, so Sensui remained for 3 minutes as the form of his last life, humanoid, you know, then he changed back into a rat.
Kazuma Stride: (Philosophically) He did say that he wanted to be reborn as a youkai.
Lord Koenma: Well, I don’t see any harm in it. Take any human that you want, then.
Shuiichi Jekyll: Thankyou so much, Lord Koenma! Come with me please, Sir Yusuke.
Sir Yusuke: (Screeching) What?? Why me??
Shuiichi Jekyll: You are a human with youkai blood. Just the kind of person that I need!
Sir Yusuke: No~~~~~~ I don’t want to go~~~~~~Save me~~~~~~~Keiko~~~~~~~~
A brilliant beam of light appeared in the center of the room. Keiko could be seen enveloped in a nimbus, wearing sailor uniform, with hair in two side ponytails.
Keiko: Leave him alone! Else I'll punish you in the name of the Moon!!!
Shuiichi Jekyll: Keiko, you are supposed to be dead.
Keiko:???
Shuiichi Jekyll: According to the script, Yukina's mother, Sir Yusuke's wife died when Yukina was born. So, you are not in the play.
Keiko:Oh. I didn't know that. Well, I'll go then. Got to catch the lastest episode of Sailor Moon before it's published. Ciao ciao!
In another blinding flash of light, Keiko disappeared.
Shuiichi Jekyll: No more excuses, Sir Yusuke. Step lively now. Come on.
Sir Yusuke: Help me!!Help me!! Hellllllllllllllllll (fading)
