Curiously Enough
CHAPTER TWO: A Ninja Makes a Terrible Best Man. . .
The frost of early spring remained in the high city of Kagutsuchi and Ragna shivered as he held the door for his new fiance. Blistering cold wind cut around the door frame as soon as he had pulled upon it's handle and for the red coated outlaw it seemed all the colder now that the warm feeling of Tao accepting his proposal had subsided. Most people would stare at him for the new collar he was sporting around his neck but how do you get a ring for a Kaka's paw? Seriously! The are soft and gently but kinda too big for a normal ring, on top of that is the Huge Freaking Claws! The tingling of a cool breeze and the warming presence of the sun pulled him from his thoughts and Ragna smirked at Tao, now beaming at the shinning show that she would soon be a bride.
"Why Hello there Lady Taokaka," called out a familiar bellowing voice and both Tao and her mate both turned to the rich melodious voice of a certain green and red clad ninja, "Ragna the Bloodedge, good to see you too!" Awwww crap, It's Bang.
"Hey there Scruffy man," Tao yelled back in a satisfied familiarity that only a kaka could have with such a flamboyant fool of a man, "Look at what Ragna got me." A wave of apprehension took Ragna as he realized he could no longer hide his own collar if Tao was planning on showing everyone hers. . . And she would. . . A sneer quickly passed over Ragna's face as he internally groaned and moved to his fiance's side. Blinking in rapid succession, the ninja of the Ikaruga gazed intently at the diamond studded collar, a moan of amazed surprise drifting from his open mouth.
"Th-This is AMAZING! Such Craftsmanship! Ragna the Bloodedge has fine tastes for him to bestow this upon his maiden Miss Taokaka! What is it for?" Blabbed the golden eyed man and a spike a nervous adrenaline coursed through Ragna.
"I g-" he started but was cut off automatically by Tao's joyous cry.
"Ragna gave it to me as a wedding present, we are getting married meow!" Silence followed the comment and Ragna covered his face with his real hand as a few people on the street stared at the odd trio with a wary curiosity.
"WWHHHHHHAAAAAAAAT?! MARRIED?!" Screamed the Ninja and Ragna bit back a series of curses as within five minutes of proposing to Tao now half the city had probably already heard them both howl it out loud. "THIS IS OUTSTANDING NEWS! I, the protector of love and justice, Bang Shishigami, Wish you the best of luck with your union!" His smile fading slightly he murmurs to himself in a voice both Ragna and Tao could still hear, "they married and yet I am no closer to joining hands with miss Litchi, I must not falter. . ."
"Yeah. . . Married, I was hoping to keep this a secret til I told everyone I want to know myself, but that might not be possible anymore," Ragna fumed sourly, a neutral graze kept on his pale face. "Tch- how the hell am I gonna keep this from Rachel now," he grumbled in his deep velvety voice. The sound of a gale whirled behind him and a grimace formed foully on his face. God Damn it all! "Speak of the devil, what do you want Rabbit?"
"Devil? I never, how dare you give me such derision when I mere came to congratulate you upon your coming matrimony," huffed the tiny vampire in her feigned injured monotone. "Really Ragna, the fact you considered you could hide any thing from me denotes your stupidity."
"Rrrrrg- Damn it Rabbit, I thought you said you were here to congratulate us not barate me," Ragna exclaimed in hot embarrassment, slipping his collar behind his coat as they all turned to face Rachel. She was dressed in her normal black and red dress, cat umbrella in one hand and fat bat hovering over her other shoulder. Her smile was full of a curious amusement and Ragna hated it. . .
"Rabbit Person be nice to my Ragna," Tao snarled in a tiny voice, her tail shaking in a small fitful shiver of warning, "or Imma beat the crap outta you!"
"Oh my, it seems your barbarism has worn off on her Ragna, you fiend," quipped the blonde girl and Nago snickered at a tightening of Ragna's features.
"Damn it Rachel wha-" Ragna started with an exasperated moan but it drew to a stop as Rachel shook her head and laughed lightly, her cat turning to a throne in the middle of the road they were standing in.
Moving to sit, Rachel bowed her head and reclined into the shape-shifting cat. "I apologize for my rudeness, it is just that entertaining to poke fun at you. Your face always gives off the most fascinating reactions. I am here to applaud you on your taking this girl as your fiance. . ."
Where the hell is everyone one else anyway, damn place has gone so quiet. . . Probably freaked them all out. A loud ninja, a hyperactive kaka, a feared murdering outlaw and a tiny magical vampire. . . Yeah that'd do it. . . Sounds like that start of a terrible joke, Ragna thought dryly as he looked for a reason to leave before the vampiress made things any worse. "Yeah. . . Thanks. . ."
"Bunny Lady is being nice," Tao mewed in surprise and a confused look quivered over her shadowed face, "Tao thinks Bunny Lady is okay then! Can Tao and Ragna use your house for the wedding?"
N-n. . . No she didn't did she. . .
"My estate for your wedding ceremony?" Rachel mused, a surprised delight held high in her raised brows.
"That is an outstanding Idea miss Taokaka! I concur, if miss Rachel wouldn't mind that'd make for a wondrous venue for their wedding," Bang bellowed as he too had a glint of interest in his eyes and he slammed his fist to his chest.
"No, that's too much to ask f-" Ragna nearly growled but Rachel raised her hand in acquiescence as if it were decided.
"I have no objection but what of the wedding party? Surely you already have a best man. If not perhaps mister Shishigami could fill the position," Rachel offered in a knowing tone and Ragna bit back a snarl. Bitch is not going to ruin this for me, they are deciding everything!
"A SPLENDID IDEA! Perhaps even miss Litchi would be the Maid of Honor!"
"YAY BOOBIE LADY!"
"Tch. . . God damn this shit."
Meanwhile in a Lab, hidden away in Sector Seven. . .
A deeply sinister voice rung out of the silence. "Ragna the Bloodedge and his little friends have had enough time to themselves. . ." A blue hared man dried himself off with a long white coat before throwing it over his broadly muscled shoulders, "It's time I had fun with this 'reaper'!"
AN: Hello Everyone! I'm back with another chapter and this one is a little more to the style of what I was looking for with this story. Shorter, slightly more silly but still keeping to the first two stories. I feel this chapter is much better than yesterdays so I am confident the chapters will be great despite of their length. Hey I wanna thank anyone who stumbled onto my story and my readers coming from my older stories, it's great to have you along! Shout out to my friend Mao Rozen Asakura, Good to hear from you again and thanks for the continued support.
More is coming, hopefully the few twists and turns coming with the new characters will spice things up but for now just laugh and smile and we'll have a good time!
