Weiss Reacts to Toradora, Part 2!
A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! For those of you wondering about suggestions, I will not be taking any more suggestions for chapters until I finish covering UhhICanExplain's Blake and Jaune's Infinite Playlist, due to being swamped with work as it is and wanting to tell some stories of my own here. After that, I will be open to suggestions for chapters again. I apologise for the inconvenience.
Now that that's settled, let's get Toradora out of the way! Taiga cameo optional. Spoiler warning, by the way, for anyone who wants to watch this anime, so be warned.
DISCLAIMER: RWBY does not belong to me, otherwise Weiss would be the sixth tsundere wonder.
Toradora belongs to Yuyuko Takemiya. A shout out to Zeek72 for informing me about this!
All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.
Episode 8
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T SWIM." Weiss screeched at the screen. "TAIGA, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ARE YOU A BABY OR SOMETHING"
"You're reacting awfully loudly at someone who's apparently 'nothing like you', Weiss." Yang said, smirking. "You're in denial, aren't you?"
"I swear, if you say that again, I'm going to make you wish you had Taiga as a teammate instead of me." Weiss muttered darkly.
Blake tapped her chin. "Wouldn't be bad, actually. She'd be less of a killjoy."
"S-shut up!"
Ruby giggled. "Oh, Ryuuji, you're so blind..."
"About as blind as Weiss." Yang commented. "Seriously, when the title outright says those two'll end up together..."
"Not you too, Ami!" Weiss complained. "Don't tell me you seriously think Taiga's in love with him or something! Are these idiots blind?! She clearly loves Kitamura! She even FORCED HIM TO HELP HER MAKE LOVE LETTERS FOR HIM!"
Blake whispered over to Yang. "How much do you bet Weiss won't realise it until the whole thing's ended?"
"That's not a bet. That's too easy." The brawler shrugged. "Even YOU can tell, and you haven't even watched the series.
Weiss is about as genre savvy as I am un-sexy~"
"Heh. You're leaving yourself pretty open to Winter jokes." The catgirl grinned, enjoying the effect she was having on her partner.
Yang glared at her. "D-don't you mention that woman to me, B-Blake!"
"And why are you-j-just say what you're going to say, you moron!" The heiress snapped. "Dust, it's like Ami's the only person with any courage around here!"
Ruby smirked. "Not like you're any better, Weiss~"
"S-shush! I-I don't act like that!" The heiress whined. "...and dear Dust, the SHIP TEASE. CREATORS, IT'S NOT HAPPENING."
"Denial?" Yang looked towards Blake, who nodded.
"Definitely. Seriously, dunno how Weiss is so blind, this is exactly what happened with her and Ruby."
"...Ryuuji belongs to you? He's not your pet, lady!" Weiss snapped. "...why does that sentence seem so shippy?!"
Ruby merely started laughing, as did Yang. Weiss glared at them both, sighing.
"I will never understand why you people are laughing, will I?"
"Oh, you'll get it soon." Blake reassured her. "We hope."
...
Episode 9
"...whatever Ryuuji had for dinner last night, it's probably like that stupid...garbage you and Nora tried to feed me a year ago." Weiss grumbled.
"You still remember that dream?" Yang raised an eyebrow.
"When Ruby keeps appearing out of nowhere, of course I'm going to remember that stupid dream..." The heiress blushed slightly. "A-and don't get any ideas, you pervert, it wasn't THAT kind of dream!"
Ruby pouted, somewhat disappointed.
"...hah. Taiga, excellent plan." Blake chuckled. "Knowing Minori, she's probably trolling them all and she's probably into horror, which means he'll get closer to her."
"Astute." Yang clapped. Blake grinned smugly. "I know my stuff."
"Ami, quit that..." Weiss grumbled. "You moronic perverted tease...you're no better than Yang."
"I'm way hotter than Ami!" The brawler protested. "She's just not as shapely!"
Blake burst out laughing soon enough. "Kitamura, you tease! What's with dropping that towel in the middle of the kitchen!"
"This episode is too full of fanservice." Weiss grumbled. "Perfect show for Yang."
"You're right." The brawler shrugged. "I can't deny the fanservice~"
"When you're being insulted, you're not supposed to admit it!" The heiress complained. Yang merely stuck her tongue out.
"What can I say? A girl has needs."
Blake whistled. "Weiss, finally, a ship you're okay with."
"Indeed. I'm glad the creators have stopped pushing that insidious Taiga/Ryuuji ship that's clearly not going to-" Weiss was, of course, interrupted by Taiga then admitting she found it easier to hang around the latter.
Her eyelid twitched. "W-what..."
"Oh Dust, the pranks." Ruby smirked. "It's pretty clearly a prank too! Haha..."
...
Episode 10
"...good Dust, what's going on here?" Weiss scratched her head. "Is there seriously a seaweed ghost here or something? That means Minori really was onto something!"
"Or that it's all an elaborate antic." Yang shrugged. "I could set this up with a pair of tweezers, some petroleum jelly and some of Coco's extensive wardrobe."
"Point taken. You people use your imaginations for stupid things." The heiress muttered, grumbling. "Idiots..."
"Oh, Minori, you sneaky sneaky lady." Yang giggled. "I see what you did there."
"...of course she's a prankster!" Weiss threw her hands up in exasperation. "I should've known!"
Yang clapped, giving credit where it was due. "Excellently played, Minori-chan. Excellently played."
"Good Dust..." Weiss rubbed her temples. "These idiots make me want to slap them all in the head."
"Woo!" Blake cheered. "First part of Toradora finished! I think."
"Yeah." Ruby shrugged. "So, you guys ready for the next part?"
Weiss shrugged. "Meh. Why not. Let's go with it. At this point, I doubt that Minori's not part of your Antic Clan or whatever you call it, Yang."
"Trust me, her antics aren't nearly as awesome as ours, Weiss." The brawler winked at her. "We're far bigger than that."
"I shudder to think what kind of antics would be worse than what you've already done..." Weiss muttered. She exhaled and settled into her cushion, waiting for the next episode.
Episodes 11-13
"It's always cosplay cafes..." Weiss facepalmed. "Why can't it be something that isn't a cosplay cafe?!"
"Our culture festival's fairly soon, isn't it?" Blake inquired, inducing Yang to nod with a smile.
"And guess who's on the council for it?"
"We're doomed." The heiress remarked drily. "Absolutely doomed."
"Aw." Yang pouted, crossing her arms. "Nice to know you've got such faith in me..."
Weiss shook her head, before looking at the screen. "...I already have bad vibes about Taiga's father. Something doesn't feel right about this..."
"At least she got something right." Yang sighed, relieved.
"...you know, Yuri may act like a complete idiot, but I like her for some reason." Blake sighed, shaking her head. "And like why Taiga irritates me so much, I can't figure out why!"
"A professional wrestling skit?" Ruby tilted her head. "Sounds interesting."
"I already don't like this." Weiss responded, grumbling. "I really don't. And...seriously, he did that? What is he thinking?! Does he think extortion will get her to talk to him?!
Ryuuji, you moron! Don't let her!"
Blake scratched her head. "Huh? How do you figure?"
"I think I have enough experience with jerkass parents to know what one looks like." The heiress remarked tartly. "Now...Ryuuji, you moron, you let her do that.
This isn't going to end well, I know it won't!"
Ruby shrugged. "Just wait and see, it might-"
"It won't." Weiss cut her off, crossing her arms. "Just wait."
...
"...way to go, Minori!" Weiss cheered. "See? She knows what I'm talking about. She knows he's a jerk."
"...ooooh, she's moving out. This is really getting dangerous." Blake mused. "And Taiga seems happy, too.
This has twenty six episodes. This is too early for her to be happy.
Oh, this is not going to end well."
"...Ryuuji, just accept Minori's advice!" The heiress complained, looking highly irritated. "She's Taiga's best friend, she knows her better than you, what are you not getting?!
SERIOUSLY?!"
"Huh. I love this episode, if only because Ami's becoming a bit less of an absolute bi-I mean, jerk." Yang corrected herself quickly, wary of Weiss' ever-attentive ear.
"...where is her dad?" Ruby tilted her head. "I though he promised to show-"
"As I said, he's a jerk." Weiss declared triumphantly. "I mean, I can understand where Ryuuji's coming from, but...there are times when that's just not the course of action to take."
"Wow." Yang nodded. "Deep, Weiss."
"You saying I'm not intelligent enough to make deep statements?"
"I thought you were only ever worried about your chest size and perverts~" The brawler quipped. Weiss glared at her, irritated.
"I'll give you something to worry about if you don't shut up. The name 'dumb Chihuahua' would be apt for you, Yang."
Yang grinned. "See? Exactly like Tai-OOF"
Weiss rubbed her hand. "Moron."
...
"Exactly! You idiot! Finally!" Weiss sighed, triumphant. "I KNEW he was a slimebag!"
"He had work-" Ruby pointed out, but was interrupted.
"If he really cared about his daughter, he wouldn't be blowing her off like that." The heiress responded. "At least he realised it in the end, so...props, I guess, are deserved.
And REALLY, A FOOT RACE?!"
Yang snickered. "Oh, Minori, you sneaky girl! I forgot how much cheating you do..."
"..." Weiss scoffed. "Are you serious? They both won for her sake?
It's like they both love her or something! What's up with that?"
"Well, Minori did just wonder if she liked girls instead of guys, so there's that." Blake shrugged. "I'm not surprised at all, really."
Ruby squeed happily. "Taiga looks so happy! It's ADORABLE! AHHHHHH!"
"Ruby, calm down." Weiss muttered. "You look like an obsessed fangirl."
"I-I just have lots of feels, okay?!"
Episode 14
"Okay, only a pervert would come up with a rumour like that." Weiss muttered. "That stupid 'happiness' rumour i-is only an excuse to cop a feel!"
"You even think like her, too!" Yang commented, surprised. "It's like you practically are her, Weiss!"
"S-shut up! I am not!"
Blake noted something down. "Hm...must...spread rumour...that touching Weiss...guarantees happiness..."
"DON'T YOU DARE BELLADONNA I SWEAR I WILL EXECUTE YOU FOR TREASON"
"D'aww..." Ruby giggled. "He's so cute. I want a boyfriend like that- cooking for me, always helping out-"
Weiss gave her an unamused look, rolling her eyes. "Why thanks, Ruby. Appreciated."
"You crush on Jaune, am I not allowed to crush on Ryuuji?" Ruby retorted with a pout, inducing Weiss to blush.
"Y-you don't mention that dolt, you dunce! I don't have a crush on him, okay? I-It's just that stupid Semblance of his! H-he doesn't need a bigger harem, n-not that I'm part of that stupid harem anyway!"
Yang tilted her head. "That's an awful lot of denial-"
"SHUT UP XIAO LONG NOBODY CARES!"
...
Episode 15
"...just what is Kitamura thinking?!" Weiss cried, staring at the screen. "Dying his hai-what does he think he is, a delinquent?!"
"Sumire, what are you doing? I thought you were supposed to be his superior!" Blake scratched her head. "Heh...guess not."
"...you know, now that I think about it, Kitamura's voice also pisses me off." The catgirl grumbled. "Just why do half the people here irritate me?!"
"...that's stupid." The heiress stared at the screen as the boy gave his reason for dying his hair and running from school. "...you don't want to be student council president? THEN DON'T BE, INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM SCHOOL AND TRYING TO BE A DELINQUENT."
"...ship tease? Seriously? More ship tease between Ryuuji and Taiga?!" Weiss cried, exasperated. "Quit pushing that ship, you morons!"
"You're cheering so much for him getting with Minori, you don't actually realise he hasn't had any moments with her at all yet." Yang reminded her, stopping the heiress in her tracks.
"...wha-" She shook her head. "Anyway, ignoring you...oh good Dust, Yasuko has some sense in her head, so she's not completely like Yang.
...and Taiga, for once, your plan isn't stupid. Running for student council president might actually work..." Weiss tapped her chin, nodding.
Ruby nodded in assent. "That's a brilliant plan, you know. Let's see how it pans out!"
...
Episode 16
"...well, that explains it. The moron's crushing on Sumire!" Weiss sighed irritably. "He's still a moron, but a lovestruck one!
That makes it worse!"
"...so many speeches! The plot!" Ruby stared at the screen. "It's all going too fast..."
Weiss flicked her slightly on the ear. "No it's not. Quit being dramatic."
Yang frowned. "Why do I get a slap and she gets a flick?!"
"Because she's an idiot, you're a perverted idiot."
Blake stared at Taiga as she ended up pounding the former student council president for being a 'coward'.
"Wow. She's got balls, I'll give her that...and she beat her, too!"
"She is the Palmtop Tiger." Yang shrugged casually. "What did you expect was going to happen?"
"...that handbook is suspicious and I know that picture's coming back eventually..." Weiss noted.
"And...huh. Just 'idiot'. Somehow, I know that's a compliment."
"Two tsunderes think alike~" Yang remarked, earning a pillow to the face for her troubles.
"I am NOT A TSUNDERE, Y-YOU DODDERING FOOL!"
Episodes 17-19
"OH MY DUST SO MOE AAAAHHH!" Ruby squeed at Taiga's display of being the 'angel of love', earning a flick on the ear from Weiss.
"Quit sounding like an obsessed fangirl, you dunce!" Weiss sighed, shaking her head. "If you weren't so stupidly adorable, I'd slap you.
...and what's wrong with Minori? Why's she not talking to Ryuuji? What?"
Yang smiled enigmatically. "Never you worry, Weiss. You'll find out soon enough."
"And why is Ryuuji so irritated that Taiga's with Kitamura? He got what he wanted, right?" Weiss scratched her head.
"These people are so confusing. I don't understand this anime."
Blake merely mouthed 'blind as a bat' over to Yang, shaking her head and chuckling.
"I SAW THAT BLAKE! I AM NOT BLIND!"
...
"See? That ship won't work!" Weiss declared. "Ami just said it was like a father doting on his daughter! It would be squicky!"
"That's the same thing Tamaki thought about his relationship with Haruhi." Yang chuckled. "And I know you know how that ended."
"That's not the same thing! They're all idiots, but Ryuuji isn't as stupid as Tamaki is!
And dammit, Minori, just take the invitation to the party!" Weiss sighed irritably. "Seriously! I don't understand you people!"
"...Taiga's really generous." Ruby, at this point, was nearly drooling from the adorableness. "Gaaahhhh moe tsunderes why do you do this to meeee-"
Blake shoved a cookie into her mouth. "Chew on that, you'll stop drooling so much."
"So...moe..."
"MINORI YOU MORON IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT GRAH I AM GOING TO SLAP YOU" Weiss roared at the screen, shaking her fists. "ARRGHGHDFHDLGDMG"
Yang looked over at Blake. "Shall I fast-forward it to the next episode?"
"I think that's a good idea." The catgirl nodded hastily.
...
"Ryuuji, you idiot." Weiss slapped her head with her palm for the umpteenth time. "Just what do you think you're doing, sneaking into Taiga's apartment in that get-up?"
"How do you know it's him?" Ruby tilted her head. "It's not like the bear's said anything."
"They're best friends and he's just left the party, and she's lonely. What did you expect? I'm not blind, Ruby, despite what some people claim!" The heiress declared sharply.
"...this is so adorable!" Ruby squeed, sighing and almost melting in her chair. "GAAAHHHH MY NUTBLADDER"
Yang rolled her eyes. "You two, just screw already. We can all see it."
"YANG! Quit being so vulgar!" Weiss snapped. The brawler looked surprised.
"What? It's true! Even YOU have to see they're going to end up together."
"N-not at all-" The heiress, was, of course, interrupted by Taiga proceeding to scream his name into the night sky, while crying, asking for him to come back.
She was rendered speechless by her entire prediction for the series being proven completely wrong in the space of several minutes.
"...I...I don't believe it." Weiss stared at the screen, dumbfounded.
Yang sighed, clapping sarcastically. "And the last horse crosses the finish line."
"Yep." Blake whistled. "Took her long enough to figure that out. Sheesh, even Taiga herself wouldn't take so long."
"..." Weiss sighed, muttering. "...this is ridiculous, and how can I be so blind..."
Ruby patted her on the back. "At least you noticed it before they got together."
Yang merely collapsed, laughing her head off with Blake.
Episodes 20-22
"Guess that rejection really took a load out of him." Weiss muttered. "So what now? What's the plan? Is she going to confess? Is Minori going to back down now she KNOWS Taiga's after him?"
Yang smiled. "Something like that."
"You just HAVE to be a tease, don't you?" The heiress grumbled. "Fine, I guess I'll figure it out myself!
How convenient that the hotel burned down and it's now a ski trip. I can ALREADY smell the ship tease..."
Blake stared at the heiress, dumbfounded. "She actually got genre savvy!"
"I've watched enough anime to get that, you dunce, now shut up and quit treating me like I'm blind!"
Ruby nibbled on a cookie. "I do wonder what Minori's going to do, now that she knows what the situation is. Is she going to give her away, fight for him or...
Well, it ought to be interesting, anyway."
...
"Oh, of course." Weiss grumbled, shaking her head. "Those idiots are hiding inside the girl's closet like perverts...how did I not expect that?"
"Did perverts have to be the first thing on your mind?" Yang commented.
The heiress exhaled. "I'm stuck in a dorm with you, Yang, of course they'd be first on my mind. It's not like Velvet doesn't hide in closets to stalk me anyway."
"True point." The brawler conceded.
Blake scratched her head. "Is Minori trying to give Taiga away to Ryuuji or something? Because if she is, it's working- she denied him so hard he ended up being sick."
"Something like that." Yang stated. "It's more like a contest between Taiga and Minori to see who can give Ryuuji to who, the winner, so to speak, being the one who doesn't end up with Ryuuji. Or something, I don't know, maybe Minori's hot for Taiga."
"Oh, seriously, you idiots. Taiga probably got herself injured, thanks to your stupid squabbling..." The heiress muttered. "And what do you know, she DID!
Good Dust, if Ryuuji didn't find her, this series would be a LOT shorter."
Ruby sighed, clapping. "Awww...she can't stop loving him! That's adorable! Can't we have a love story like that, Weiss?"
"You'd probably be the one in Taiga's spot, knowing how clumsy you are..." Weiss muttered darkly, causing Ruby to pout, offended.
"You wound me so, my princess...", she declared dramatically, clutching her chest.
...
"Oh, seriously, Ryuuji, let's have it over with. Even if Kitamura lies about ending the one who heard her confession, pretty soon, she's going to figure out you carried her up and heard everything." Weiss rolled her eyes. "And what's the point? At this stage, it's pretty obvious you two are in love and nothing's going to change that."
Yang have her a quizzical look. Weiss shot an irritated glare at her.
"WHAT?!"
"Sounds EXACTLY like the things we said about you back when you still thought you didn't love Ruby~"
"This is COMPLETELY different! You can't draw a comparison here!" The heiress complained.
"...and good Dust, her mother's a decent person. There's that, at least-wait, wait, she just SKIPPED school to do that?! Well, I suppose I can't question that."
Yang rolled her eyes. "As I said, Taiga, quit being so noble, we all know you want to,take him on the balcony. So DO IT. Hell, Minori would probably be fine with joining in, given her track record-"
Weiss rubbed her temples, sighing exasperatedly for the umpteenth time. "Not EVERY couple is going to have a threesome just because they're all into each other! There's a thing called 'inhibitions' which you clearly seem to lack!"
"Yeah. But they're all beating around the bush like idiots! I bet letting all that frustration out would fix them right up..."
Blake blushed, glaring at Yang. "S-shut up and just watch the anime!"
"Not you too, Blakey!"
Episodes 23-25
"The future. A hard thing to think about." Weiss mused, nodding. "I can understand."
"...see? I'm LESS responsible than his mom! I wouldn't put so much effort in that I'd faint at my place of work!" Yang declared. Weiss gave her an unamused stare.
"Like I said, not sure that's a thing to be proud of."
"Good Dust, they're all sneaky." Ruby declared. "Using Ami's fanservice to get customers..."
"Same principle that stupid Hokuago Teatime used to get everyone to like them..." Blake muttered bitterly. "How is a cute girl in a French maid outfit more of a crowd draw than a dinosaur in a top hat and monocle anyway?!"
"Shush!" Weiss snapped. "Trying to watch.
Oh, you were NOT joking about it being a 'contest', Yang. Good Dust, will both of you just share or something? Not like anyone's going to stop you!"
"Oh dear, is Weiss Schnee supporting a threesome?" The brawler inquired mischievously.
"O-of course not! I am suggesting a mutually beneficial platonic relationship!"
Yang shrugged non-chalantly. "Call it whatever you like, it's still OT3 to me."
...
"RYUUJI AND TAIGA YOU ARE A BUNCH OF MORONS WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY" Weiss screeched at the TV. "GRAAAAH"
Ruby hugged her girlfriend in an attempt to calm her down, cooing quietly to her.
Blake whistled. "Nosebleeds are like crying in life. That's deep, Minori. That really is."
"Minori/Ami OTP!" Yang declared proudly. "And there's nothing you can do to stop me!"
"AND YOU STUPID PERV SHE'S NOT EVEN YOUR WIFE YET"
"You're right, they haven't even consummated it yet." Yang mused, earning herself a punch in the gut. As she clutched her belly in pain, Weiss glared at her.
"YOU DUMB PERVERTED CHIHUAHUA"
"...a-at least I proved...y-you're exactly...like Taiga...ow...", the brawler wheezed out, winded by the punch.
...
Weiss exhaled deeply. "At least Yasuko ended up coming for them, even if she acts like a big baby.
So, more responsible than Yang."
"See? I'm COMPLETELY different!" Yang declared proudly, earning a glare from the heiress."
"Don't you grasp the concept of an insult, Yang?"
"Your insults are terrible, Weiss. I'm too awesome to be offended by them."
Ruby cheered. "About time they kissed! And thrice for that matter!"
The brawler nodded in assent. "Heh. 'One more' indeed. Almost like you and Weiss!"
"Would you quit comparing me to Taiga, you moron?!" Weiss snapped.
"...are you serious? Taiga just...ups and leaves? After all that?" Blake stared at the screen.
Weiss, too, was dumbfounded. "You mean to tell me this series builds all that up only to have her LEAVE?!
Screw this, I'm done!"
The heiress stormed out before Yang could stop her.
"Wait for the credits-aaaaand she's gone." The brawler sighed. Blake raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Taiga comes back at the end. Ryuuji finally has the balls to say he loves her. It only happens after the credits, though."
Ruby nodded slowly. "I see...clever. Must be frustrating if you ignore the credits, though."
"I nearly made that mistake myself." Yang admitted. "Heh...although, rumour has it, they ended up screwing and having tri-OW!"
As Yang finished that sentence, a wooden bokken sailed through the dorm window in a perfect arc, hitting her dead on the head. Blake blinked.
"That looks..."
"...exactly like Taiga's." Ruby completed for her. The two girls shared a look before rushing to the window to see...nobody.
Blake tilted her head. "Huh. Could've sworn she was there..."
"Ow..." The brawler rubbed her head. "Can I have some ice please? That really hurt..."
