Weiss Reacts to Toradora!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! We decided since we have a tsundere main character, it'd be fitting for her to see one of the Four Tsundere Wonders, Taiga, in her native environment! Also so I can make a reference to that one Rie Kugimiya gag I did that one time. Also, surprised, eh? Double chapter day! Let's do this!

Now, let's begin this chapter stuff before you people get bored with my ranting!

DISCLAIMER: RWBY does not belong to me, otherwise there would be more Weiss fanservice.

Toradora belongs to...JC Staff? I think. I wish I knew who made the light novel. Warning for spoilers- I take no responsibility if you were spoiled by reading this chapter.

All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.


Weiss grumbled at Blake, who was using the computer, plugging in a strange, complicated device with various interfaces and buttons, adorned with stickers of chibi-fied anime characters.

"What are you doing and will it screw my computer up?"

"I'm pumping in an equation based on the Kanoe Principle- pioneered, of course, by our very own Professor Kanoe-"

"Oh, right!" Yang snapped her fingers. "I forgot, I have homework due in for her..."
"Eh, just talk some crap or something and she'll buy it. It's not like she's the strictest teacher anyway." Blake waved her off dismissively, while Weiss continued staring at the screen, which was flashing past quickly with numbers even the heiress with her analytical skills could not perceive.

"Equation for what, exactly?"
"Figuring out what or how manly one needs to be to beat a concentrated source of moe. In this case, Hokuago Tea-Time." The catgirl explained, a slightly manic shine in her eyes.

Weiss rubbed her temples. "Are you STILL on about that? That was a month ago, Blake! A month!"
"No!" The catgirl roared defiantly, glaring right back. "I won't accept that I got beaten by a bunch of moeblobs! I-I'm too MANLY to lose to them-"

Suddenly, with a loud boom, Weiss' computer switched off entirely, as a wisp of smoke began wafting out from the tower unit.

The heiress' eyes widened. "W-what just happened?!"
"Oh dear." Blake rubbed her chin, frowning slightly. "I overestimated the processing power of your computer.

You might need a new processor-"
"...YOU IDIOT." Weiss roared, before attempting to leap at her teammate, only being restrained by Yang from eviscerating her.

"I-I'll pay for a new one!" Blake promised hurriedly.

"YOUR OBSESSION WITH MANLINESS BLEW MY COMPUTER UP YOU MORON"

That moment, Ruby walked in, a bag of cookies and various cookie-related goods in her arms.

"Hey, guys! I'm ho-ooooh." The reaper walked in to see her sister holding back her girlfriend from trying to rip Blake apart.

"Erm...what did I miss?"
"BLAKE BLEW MY COMPUTER UP"
"In my defence, that was an accident!"

"I'LL MAKE YOUR DEATH LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT"

Yang nodded slowly. "I'll admit, that was a good one. Now, Rubes, quickly! Initiate Plan 'Calm the Rampaging Bear'!"

Ruby nodded hurriedly, before grabbing Weiss' beloved Sharkie-chan shark plushie and threw it at the heiress.

"I AM GOING TO MA-Sharkie-chaaaan!" Weiss immediately clamped on to the plushie, staring at it lovingly.

"I've missed you so much, Sharkie-chan! You're just so cute! Oh Dust, I wuv you so muuuuch!"

Yang chuckled as the heiress cooed and coddled her plushie, sighing happily.

"Works every time."

Ruby merely stared at the shark plushie being cooed to by Weiss with envy.

"...if that's what I need to be to get some cuddles around here, then I'll wear a shark costume..." The reaper vowed determinedly.


Half an hour later...

Team RWBY- with Weiss somewhat bitter, but placated by copious helpings of Ruby's hugs and hugging her plushie, as well as vanilla sorbet- now sat in the other room in their dorm, in front of their large TV.

Weiss sighed, shaking her head. "Well, Blake, since you're the reason we can't use my computer, what do you want to do?"
"I dunno. Anyone have any games?" Blake inquired, earning nothing but headshakes.

Ruby frowned. "I'm still having my consoles repaired."
"And you people aren't touching mine." Yang stated pre-emptively. "Nuh-uh."
"Right. Anime?" Weiss inquired.

Ruby raised a finger. "Well, I got the whole series of Accel World!"
"Already watched it." Blake reminded her. "Where do you think I got the 'Silver Crow' Protocol from?"

"I'm saving that for when I manage to drag Ren with me to watch it." Yang chimed in.
"Errm. Persona 4 the Animation?"

"If we wanted to do that, we'd just have Cardin beg Rise to drag her friends over to Vale." Yang pointed out. "And I'm tempted to, really, but it'd be kinda rude."
"Rinne no Lagrange?"

Weiss shook her head furiously. "No."
"Why?!" The reaper looked confused.

"Remember Lan from Halloween?" Yang reminded her helpfully.

"S-stupid idiot popped out o-of nowhere and scared me constantly..." The heiress grumbled.

Blake snapped her fingers. "Toradora. We can all agree on that- I've been meaning to watch it for a while now, and I know Ruby and Yang have been too- Yang's rewatching Toradora, I think.

"Actually, yeah." The brawler nodded enthusiastically. "Didn't you say you ordered it-"
"Here you go, Blake."

Ruby, Yang and Weiss jumped in their seats as Norn passed over the box set of the anime they'd been discussing to Blake.

"The package came in earlier this morning. I procured it for you." Norn bowed to Blake respectfully. "Would you like some snacks and drinks with that?"
"Eh...nah." The catgirl shook her head. "Take a break for today."

"Thank you." The Persocom nodded and jumped out of the window, causing Weiss to blink.

"...no matter how many times Norn does that, I'm still not used to it." The heiress muttered, shaking her head.

"You can say that again..." Yang rubbed the back of her head, sighing. "You made her too ninja-like!"
Blake shrugged. "Grab some food and drinks from the fridge, we're going on a Toradora binge!"
"Hope it ends better than the Madoka Magica binge JNPR did..." Ruby mused, causing Weiss to glare irritably at Yang.

"Yeah, and whose fault was that?"
"Hey, they decided to watch it." The brawler shrugged. "Not my problem if they get mentally scarred by it."
"Still annoyed I missed Kyoko being here..." Blake muttered as she walked over to insert the DVD into their SchneeVD player.


"...that is a horrible pun." Weiss grumbled at the title, both of the anime and the episode. "Seriously?! As if we needed the reinforcement that the main protagonists' names are puns on 'tiger and dragon'..."
Yang shrugged. "Eh, least it's catchy, eh? And it'll be important later. Now, let's see here..."

Weiss sighed. "Already, Ryuuji's mother reminds me of Yang."
"HEY!" The brawler looked offended. "I'm so much sexier than her!"

Ruby shushed them, shoving cookies into her mouth. "I'm trying to watch this!"

"My fanservice quotient was questioned!" Yang complained.

"...there's something about Taiga that pisses me off already..." Blake mused as the aforementioned girl appeared on screen. "I don't know what..."

"Maybe the fact that she reminds you too much of Weiss? You know, short, bratty and flat-chested?" Yang stated teasingly as she fended off a beating from Weiss.

"Will you stop pointing out my chest size, you moron?!"
Ruby giggled. "Looks like Weiss and Taiga would get along just fine."

"We are nothing alike!" Weiss retorted, just as she punched Yang and huffed, muttering "Idiot" under her breath.

Blake rolled her eyes. "Sure, nothing alike. I still don't know why Taiga pisses me off so much..."

"...and what is this idiot girl on?!" Weiss grumbled. "Invading someone's house and threatening him with brain damage? And you compare me to her?!"

"Well, what you don't have in audacity, you make up in tsun." The catgirl commented.

"S-shut up!" Weiss scoffed dismissively. "I don't understand how you idiots could compare me to this Taiga girl. She can't even look after herself!"

"She has a point." Ruby nodded. "It's usually either Norn or Weiss who cleans up our messes."
"Like that...gunk on the bathroom floor I absolutely refuse to touch at the tip of Myrtenaster." The heiress shuddered. "I sympathise with Ryuuji already. I'd think he might actually faint from seeing how messy our dorm is..."
"Well, you might want to tell him yourself!" Yang looked up, hastily looking about.

"Aww. I thought invoking that might make him appear out of nowhere. It worked for Ren."

"I really don't understand what you're even talking about..." Weiss sighed irritably.

...

"I want to slap that girl in the face." Weiss vowed, irritated. "How can you be so ungrateful?!"
"She's a tsundere-" Yang pointed out, but Weiss cut her off.

"I could tell that, but SERIOUSLY! How can you treat someone who just outright promised to get you the boy you love like that?!"
Yang merely smiled enigmatically. "Oh, Weiss, you don't know anything~"

Ruby tilted her head, turning to Blake. "How likely do you think it'll be that those two get together?"

"...well, he sure as hell isn't going to end up with Minori, is he?" Blake remarked with a chuckle. "Eh...speaking of Minori, I know she sounds familiar! I can't quite put it, but I know it's the same reason Taiga pisses me off."

"What kind of stupid plan-" The heiress facepalmed. "You two are morons! Just tell the man for Dust's sake! You'd think that the supposedly 'tough' Taiga would be able to muster up the courage to say 'I love you', but NO! Instead you idiots resort to a bunch of stupid schemes- involving throwing basketballs at people and cookies...

Those two are idiots."

"It took you seventy-two chapters and two years in the backstory to say you loved Ruby~" Yang pointed out.

"I would have said it earlier if you hadn't teased me about it so much, you numbskull!"
"I doubt it. You'd probably have denied it even when you two were lying in bed tog-OW!"
Weiss glared at her as Yang rubbed the top of her head, having been smacked on it for being perverted. "IDIOT!"
Ruby cringed. "Eesh. She has one hell of a kick if she bent a metal post..."
"Hence the name, 'Palmtop Tiger', I guess." Blake mused. "Although, that is one strong kick."

"KITAMURA YOU DEAF IDIOT CAN'T YOU SEE SHE'S TRYING TO SAY SHE LOVES YOU" Weiss yelled, irritated. "DUST, I SWEAR, EVERYONE IN THIS ANIME IS STUPID."
Yang giggled. "Like you said, the title was a terrible pun."
"Oh, don't give me that crap!" Weiss scoffed dismissively. "I doubt Ryuuji's going to end up with Taiga! That's stupid! That defies logic!"

Yang, Ruby and Blake took three seconds to process exactly what Weiss just said, before laughing their heads off.

"What?! What am I not being told?!" The heiress snapped.

"Noooothing~" Yang responded teasingly, holding her chuckles.

Blake sighed, shaking her head at Weiss knowingly.

'Weiss, you really aren't genre savvy, are you?' She mused mentally.

...

"How many jobs does this girl have?!" Weiss cried, exasperated. "Seriously! Is she Professor Faust or something?!"
"Dammit, I know there's something about Minori I'm missing!" Blake declared. "Ugh! It's not the way she looks, either..."

"And Taiga, what are you doing?! Weren't you supposed to get those two together?!" The heiress snapped. "Seriously, it's like she's jealous or something!"
Yang chuckled sinisterly. "Oh, you don't know the half of it, dear Weiss~"
Ruby giggled at the screen. "D'aww, she doesn't know how to ride a bike? That's so adorable!

I want to hug her now!"
"She'd probably batter you or something." Blake chuckled. "That is, if she didn't pull a Weiss and mellow down after finally getting the guy."
"Kawaaaii..." Ruby drooled at the screen.

Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose. "And seriously. No, seriously. Taiga, you utter moron.

Your scheme worked perfectly, they get closer to each other and you do THAT?!" She sighed irritably, shaking her head in defeat.

"...what an incompetent loon..."

"I still don't know why Taiga angers me so much!" Blake cried, defeated. "I know I should like her, but I don't know why!

It's like seeing Kyubey or something!"


"...again, I chafe at being compared to Taiga." Weiss grumbled. "Seriously, she is a pervert! How can one not consider her perverted for taking pictures of someone without telling them?!"
"It's called candid photography." Yang pointed out cheekily. "Glynda loved doing that when she was our age~"
Weiss muttered darkly. "Yeah, well, she's an even bigger pervert than Cinder."
"Can you believe she used to fangirl over Yang's mom?" Blake chuckled.

Yang grinned. "My mom is just too adorable not to fangirl over!"

"Coming from the girl who obsesses over sexiness, I find that means nothing."

Ruby tilted her head, curious. "Hm. Taiga kinda reminds me of Velvet with her obsession with Kitamura..."
"I don't think she goes quite that far." Blake pointed out. "For one, Taiga isn't wearing his boxers on his head."

"Point taken."

"Don't remind me..." The heiress sighed, her cheeks slightly red from embarrassment. "That was mortifying...

AND ARE YOU SERIOUS TAIGA YOU LOVED HIM AND THEN YOU REGSFKLDGMDLGDJGKLDGM-"Weiss was practically frothing at the mouth at the revelation. Ruby merely glomped her to try and calm her down from her agitated state.

"Huh. A comedy of errors." The catgirl rubbed her chin. "Fitting. Although why Taiga's so scared of asking him out when she knows he's into her makes me confused..."
Yang merely repeated "You don't know the half of it~" in a sing-song voice.

"...he gets together with someone else at the end, doesn't he."
"You could say that~" The brawler said in her enigmatic tone, chuckling at their inexperience with the story.

...

"...this Ami, she looks like Pyrrha's mother." Weiss noted as a blue-haired girl by that name appeared on screen.

"Yep. She even acts like Lia did back in Beacon.

Which is to say, an absolute hag."

"...oh, typical." The heiress muttered. "Of course. The pretty girl is going to be an alpha...mean person."
"Oh? You were going to say something else there, weren't you?" Yang said teasingly.

Weiss shot a steely glare at her. "Put a sock in it."

"Woooow, that art shift." Blake whistled. "And Minori somehow manages to look scarier than burrito-deprived Cinder."

Ruby shuddered, the memory of the last time their teacher had been deprived of her favourite snack food. "Don't remind me, Blake..."

"...I see what you mean by 'acts like a young Lia Nikos'." Weiss muttered. "And how is her self-esteem so low?! She already knows Kitamura wouldn't-UGH!

If it wasn't for the fact that I feel SO sorry for Taiga, I would physically slap her for being an idiot."

"Out tsun-ing a tsundere- and one of the Four Tsundere Wonders, at that." Yang commented with an impressed whistle. "Go figure."

"Shush, you." Weiss scolded her, before continuing to watch the show. "...and, remind me, why are the creators teasing this ship so much?

As I said, it's highly improbable Taiga will even fall for Ryuuji!"
Blake leaned into Yang, whispering. "And why does this remind me of the times she said it'd be impossible for her to fall for Ruby?"
"Hah. I know, right?"
"I can hear you two, you know!" Weiss glared at the pair, irritated.

...

"Hah! Karma!" Weiss laughed as Ami proceeded to be felt up by the other two female main characters for the sake of 'the dieting warriors'.

Yang tapped her chin. "I dunno. I wouldn't mind being felt up by such nice-looking girls~"
She then ducked Weiss' inevitable dope slap, smirking.

"Too genre-savvy for you, dear~"
"QUIT BEING A PERVERT!"

Ruby chuckled at Taiga's display during lunchtime, sighing. "Seriously, your dog in a previous life? That's how you treat one of your only friends?

Ah, so tsun-tsun...it makes me want to hug her and squeeze her tightly~!"

The show continued, and Blake chimed in, chuckling.

"You know, Ami would not be out of place in a Persona game, what with all the talk about her 'true self' and stuff.

Now considering writing a Persona-Toradora crossover fanfic. I think she'd be a perfect Moon Arcana..."
"...finally, something that makes me care about her!" Weiss declared. "Yes! Show that idiot stalker what your true self is! Go on!"

"Cheering for Ami, are we?" Yang teased her again.

"Not for her. I hate her. I'm cheering the fact she grew the guts to stomp that stupid stalker down- and deservedly...

AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING AMI YOU STUPID PERV"

"And another girl joins Ryuuji's- surprisingly small- harem." The brawler mused. "Sometimes, I think what might've happened if she ended up with him, too..."

...

"Again, I am wholly confused as to why Taiga's so jealous of her." Weiss sighed, shaking her head. "It's not like she likes him, or anything."

"You took the words right out of her mouth." Yang stated, giggling.

"I refuse to believe what you're implying, at all!"

Ruby blinked. "I personally don't see the problem with a flat chest! I think they're awesome!"

Weiss slapped her on the back of the head. "Q-quit that, you idiot! You sound like some deranged deviant!"
"Ooooowww..." The reaper rubbed the back of her head. "Weeeeiiiss..."

"And here, Ryuuji shows his true Kanji inspirations by making her pads!" Blake announced. Yang merely scoffed.

"I can understand how she feels inadequate, I mean...seriously, everyone has larger knockers than her!"
Weiss seethed, but let it be. "...Xiao Long, if it wasn't for the fact that was a- rather crudely phrased- factual observation, I'd slap you."
"So, I can be as perverted as I like as long as it's true?" Yang said hopefully, causing Weiss to blanch.

"Oh, Dust, what have I done..."

"...oh dear." Ruby blinked. "She can't swim?"
"Not a dot." Yang nodded, sighing sadly. "You'll find out why, even if it is only implied-"
"Hang on...she's complaining because one of her pads fell out?!" Weiss cried, irritated. "How childish is she?!"

"Dunno why you don't invest in those yourself." The brawler shrugged. "Sounds like you'd need some-"
"MY CHEST IS ADEQUATE! ADEQUATE!"

Ruby looked to Blake. "Wait, what's Ami doing?"
"Either trying to get Taiga to man up and admit she loves Ryuuji already, or just trolling her. I can't tell at this point in time." The catgirl shrugged.

"Well, we'll just have to keep watching, then." Ruby settled into a pillow, shoving more cookies into her mouth, and got comfortable to watch the rest of the series.


To be continued...


A/N: Given that Toradora is a fairly long series (25 episodes, compared to Madoka Magica, the last anime we covered, being 12)- and I am INCREDIBLY short on time- we'll probably finish covering all of them in the next chapter.

So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, comments, suggestions, thoughts, reviews and criticisms, and I hope you have a WONDERFUL day! Until next time!
