Sorry for the break. Was waiting for people to settle in for the semester. Back to the show!
Curiously Enough
CHAPTER THREE: Werewolves can be Amazing Decorators. . .
The glories of a rarely visited wardrobe stood before Ragna and he grunted at how he knew he would look in a tuxedo. Bad. . . While Taokaka returned to Litchi's clinic with Bang, Rachel decided to whisk the grumpy pale outlaw back to her manor. She was obviously doing it in order to squeeze a little more enjoyment out of his suffering but it seemed better to him that she jabbed at him while helping instead of while he was trying to be alone with Tao. I swear, they are messing with me. Damn it, I look like shit in a suit. Coats, I like Coats. . .
"Stand still Ragna," Valkenhayn exclaimed as he continued sizing the man up with a long strand of yarn, "Or else I will not be able to tailor the suit to you perfectly."
"Tch- Who the hell decided I need a suit," Ragna raged from his stiff postured position in front of the wardrobe. He tried to see himself in the mirror to his left but the giant gray hair butler blocked his view.
"Stop moving or else this will take longer," the tall man chided while he moved to measure Ragna's arms, "and besides this is for your wedding. Don't you want your blushing bride to think you look handsome?" Ragna sucked in a breath at the comment, angry he couldn't think of a reason to disagree. "Also I wear a suit, do you think it makes me look foolish? Or does it make me look profession and sharp."
"Shut up and let's get this over with already," Ragna growled back at the butler only to receive a laugh.
"He is such a beast, a suit is unbecoming of him, even if it is for a joining of holy matrimony." Smooth and cruel, the soft voice of Rachel drifted for the other side of the door. Bitch, Ragna thought hotly as he grimaced up at the suits belonging to her now dead father, it was your god damn idea for me to try these on.
"Rachel. . . Just you wait."
"Wait for what Ragna?"
"When I get out there in a suit, looking better than Valkenhayn I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face Rabbit!" Valkenhayn chortled at that but said nothing as he moved away and picked out a suit to begin altering.
Taokaka grinned madly as she ranted to Litchi about being proposed to by Ragna. The busty medic said nothing as she waited for Tao to calm down, angling instead to finish wrapping an assistance leg after they had accidently sliced it open on a patients sword. It wasn't an accident but since Litchi clobbered the man over head with her pole and he was unconscious on his cot, she felt no need to make her assistant feel worse. "And then Bunny lady showed up and told us we could use her mansion to have our ceremony! Isn't that great meow!"
"Listen here Tao," Litchi advised in her smooth voluptuous voice that surprisingly still sounded professional, "I am happy to hear that you found your special someone but I can't go. I have patients to take care of."
"But Boobie lady," Tao cried in over exaggerated distress which only made Litchi bring her fingers to her glasses, pushing them higher onto the bridge of her nose as she turned away.
"I'm sorry Tao, you will just have to find someone else to be at your side at the alter. Why not try Noel Vermillion or perhaps Kokonoe," Litchi rolled her eyes as she murmured quietly, "she'd get a kick out of that."
The melancholy shout of Bang almost shook the clinic as he pleaded with Litchi, "But Miss Litchi, it would mean a great deal to miss Taokaka and I am sure others would love to have you there as well!"
"Like you?" She shot back plainly and the ninja tried not to cough out loud. He failed.
"Ugh- No! Well yes I would find it wonderful if you were there but others like. . . Uh, Ragna would appreciate it I am sure."
"Tao isn't sure about that but Tao wants Boobie lady there," Tao offered gaining a smile from Litchi and a grunt of defeat from Bang.
"Thanks Tao but I can't. Have fun though," Litchi imparted as she turned away and headed for the other room at the call of a patient.
Bang panicked as he looked from Tao to the retreating Litchi. "I- no, Tao I will see you later, I must talk to Miss Litchi. MISS LITCHI!"
Tao watched with her head tilted as the green and red clad ninja hopped over a bed before trotting after the woman. "Hmmmm, ask sis. . . Okay!"
MEANWHILE. . .
A darkly tanned woman wandered into the city with familiar looking white hair frizzy and golden orange eyes scanning. A scar underlined her fierce stare and golden gauntlets rested upon her hips as she spied a little kid in all purple being followed by a tall mechanical woman. "Interesting," she murmured to herself as she started to push herself into motion but only a single step into her stride a squirrel-beast kin dropped in front of the boy and started hugging him affectionately. "Uh, never mind. Probably not a lead."
"MAKOTO GET OFF!"
"HOLY SHIT," rang out of the former master vampires' room as Ragna took in the reflected image of himself in a tuxedo and dress slacks, a rich and vibrant red vest poked out from the suit and with a blood red tie slide up to his neck. He felt. . . I look God Damn good. Shit, Valkenhayn was right.
"Is it really that atrocious," Rachel cooed questioningly, amusement high in her throat from the other side of the door and Valkenhayn smiled softly, shaking his head back and forth though he knew his mistress could not see it.
"I am done madame," the aging butler reported before moving to open the door, "and I would say not so. The masters clothes can make anyone look as if they were of class."
Strolling in with a mildly intrigued saunter, Rachel pulled up short behind Ragna. "Shall we see it?"
"Uh, yeah. . ." Ragna pivoted his feet and turned slowly to the tiny woman and her smile slipped to a neutral expression as she miscalculated how she expected his appearance to be. Brow creased in thought, Rachel inspected him thoroughly. "Well, this was your idea, what do you think? It's. . . It's not half bad."
"Not half bad," she echoed as her eyes passed over the tie and vest up to his messy white hair and she tried not to grimace. She was annoyed that his unkempt hair only added to his handsome almost rugged presence. She liked how he looked like a man taken from the wild and planted into society while still keeping his raw beauty from that world. She liked it and she hated how her plans backfired. "I suppose this will have to do, I am sure your beloved will enjoy the nice change from that disheveled collection of rags you call an outfit."
"GOD DAMN IT RABBIT! Why are you such a bitch!"
"Beast!"
"Hehe, Master Ragna, you should believe me now when I say suits look good on anyone," Valkenhayn spouted with a grin and both Ragna and Rachel stopped jawing at one another.
"Uh, Yeah. . . You are a good tailor, and interior designer, housekeeper and. . . Whatever else. Who knew?"
AN: HELLO ELLO! I wanna apologize to anyone who was looking forward to a bunch of rapid fire chapters like I usually put out. I kind of was expected a bigger turn out at first and after the second chapter realized everyone was busy with school so I held off on continuing til people had more time. Two weeks later, after the first exams of the school semester, I felt like it was a good time to come back and start writing again.
It's starting to get a little more crazy as more and more people get let in on Ragna and Tao's little secret. The marriage is looming and no everyone has gotten an invite. Who will take that kind of news well? Not very many. . . I'm excited for the next few chapters and I'm also excited to see everyone's responses to them. I wanna give a shout out to the people who have begun to follow along to this story and my other BB stories: The Aceol, NaruSaku1995, Agato Wesker-The Black Fox, Legion13, Chaotical, ZXAKING360 and Terumi 'Eternal' Blader. Thanks guys, means a lot to get your guys to favorite and follow my stories.
