Well here it is, Chapter 4, Warning; If you have not read any of the other chapters don't read thyis one. Then again, why would you even skip to this chapter if you just started it eh? XD


Cruel yet a beautiful aftertaste

Chapter 4, Embarrassment.

Rachel could not show her face any longer, she buried it into her arms and knees. Ragna felt just as embarrassed, but didn't show it.

" God! Why do you even follow me still, Master?! " Ragna said to Jubei, more irritated now then embarrassed.

" Because it's easy to, and I never expected you to...Err...How do the young folks say it? " Get it on ", with the person you hate most. " Jubei replied, seeming as if he found this more humorous than embarrassing.

" " Get it on " WHAT THE HELL!? Who says that anymore!? Its such a...awkward way of saying it! Get back to the 23rd century old man! " Ragna shouted at Jubei, even more irritated than before. Rachel just remained with her face buried, not saying a thing.

" Well excuse me for being old. Back in my day we didn't say such cover-ups, we were straight with it. We would just say, Yes, we had se- " Ragna Cut Jubei off.

" WHAT THE HELL SHUT UP YOU PERVERTED OLD CAT! No one wants to hear that shit! " Ragna shouted at Jubei, feeling extremely awkward now. How the hell can he be so calm about all of this!? Ragna thought angrily. Unless...Oh my god Master really IS A JERK! Ragna finally realized how Jubei was staying so calm about this. " YOU'RE ENJOYING OUR EMBARRASSMENT! " Ragna shouted at Jubei. Jubei replied breaking out into a fit of laughter. Ragna's theory was correct.

" Geez kiddo, I didn't realize it took you so long to figure out something as simple as that. " Jubei replied, laughing still.

" Ohh you really are a bastard sometimes Master.." Ragna said back to Jubei, scratching the back of his head while saying it.

" Now, onto a more serious note...You do realize what has happened right, or rather, what HASN'T happened? " Jubei asked Rachel and Ragna. He actually looked pretty worried about something, and that's never a good sign.

" What do you mean? " Ragna asked, a little concerned. Rachel finally raised her head up to look at Jubei, her face still scarlet red from the embarrassment. " What hasn't happened that was suppose to? " Ragna continued to ask. Jubei started to look Ragna directly in the eye.

" Well, today was the day that you were suppose to stop a certain something from being smelted by a cauldron, but it seems as if, that has been completely thrown to the side. " Jubei finally answered to Ragna.

D'ah shit! I gotta hurry up and- " Ragna was cut off by Jubei.

" Did you not hear me kid? I said it's been thrown to the side...This is some kind of...Alternate reality...Kinda like a Continuum Shift. However, it has not happened, so something more is happening here. " Jubei informed Ragna. Ragna just stared, amazed, confused, and irritated. Rachel, who was completely confused, finally said something.

" Is it a good or a bad thing? " Rachel asked.

" Well its not bad...In fact, it's not bad at all...I do believe that you two have somehow, flung us into an alternate reality, where everything thats happened, happened, Except for today...Let's see how this world can play out, and if its bad, then we're just screwed. I'll be off now, and Ragna..." He "...Is still here. " Jubei said to Ragna.

" Eh? Who's " He "- Hey! Don't just run off on me- Ugh! " Ragna tried to yell at Jubei, but Jubei somehow disappeared off somewhere.

" I'm sorry Ragna, but I must go too. " Rachel told Ragna, as she finally put her dress back on. " Pity you made a major tear in my dress. " Rachel said to Ragna, annoyed.

" Ohhh here we go again. So I'm guessing we're going back to the same exact way we've been treating eachother?! " Ragna uttered out, annoyed. This caught Rachel off-guard, but it didn't prevent her from answering.

" Yes I suppose so, what'd you think would happen? " Rachel replied to Ragna, a little hurt now. Ragna just glared at her, then finally just grunted and turned away from her, hurt as well. This really upset Rachel, she knew she had to go before she started to do the one thing she hasn't done in years. She opened up a portal and went through it, going back to her realm.

" God...What a bitch...I cant believe it, after what just happened, what was all said, and now I'm just left in the dark, confused, without a single god damn answer on what's going on here, and what the hell going on with the damn Rabbit!? She's just...I cant believe she's going to still be like that after...all...that was... " Ragna just stopped talking when he realized he was talking to himself, again, all alone. This really irritated Ragna, and he punched a tree. The tree bent inward a bit, but didn't fall. Ragna finally just grunted again and started to walk off.
