Castalia's wedding

Disclaimer : I do not own Tenchi, or any of it’s characters....but if I did, oh the party I would throw!

Chapter Six :


A young girl with dark red hair stood braiding the hair of what seemed to be her best friend. They laughed with each other, and smiled freely as only children could. When the Red head had finished braiding the long black hair of the other girl, she stood and moved to stand before her to admire her work.

The sullen look on her friends face made her frown and tilt her head to the side. It was a gesture many times used, as a silent question. The one it was directed to, how ever, had no obligation to answer if they chose not to.

“Hey, Castalia?” the black haired girl finally asked, not looking at her friend.

“Yeah?”

“Will we still be friends when we grow up?”

“Course we will! Unless you decide to become a bounty hunter, we’ll be friends for life!” Castalia answered, her eyes closed and her hand waving through the air as if that were the most ridiculous question she had ever heard.

“...But I like bounty hunters...”

“Wha?!” Castalia opened her eyes wide and looked at her as if she were insane. “But, why?”

“I don’t know. They just look like they have a lot of fun. And they live such romantic lives....” she grasped her now braided hair and twisted the end around her finger, not looking at Castalia.

The red haired watched her, then smiled slightly. Reaching out, she grabbed her hand and pulled her up to stand. “Then you’ll have to train really hard to be the best bounty hunter around. I wont loss to anyone who is anything less then the bast. Even if she is my best friend. You got that Wolf?”

Wolf blinked a few times, then smiled as well “Your so strange Castalia!”

Wolf’s eyes slowly drifted open as the dream left her. Sleep had not been something that came easily to her. Often her dreams were filled with memories best lest alone. Remembering the ‘good old days’ would only make her job harder.

Castalia had not been lying when she had told her all those years ago that she would not let Wolf capture her just because they had been friends. In fact, she seemed to mock her more then the others who had been after her.

Deep red eyes locked on the moving scenery outside the window. She always got her pray, not mater the situation. It had been years since she had ever failed. Never mind the fact that the person that had helped train her was the person she was now hunting. Never mind the fact that every time she escaped, a small part of Wolf was relieved. None of that mattered. Wolf had made a name for herself. When she took a job, she never gave up until she had her bounty, or until she had died.

And over the years, there had been many close calls. All the scars on her body attested to that fact. The ones who were able to get her face, had her respect, though hot her pity. The ones who attacked her back, wished she had killed them by the time she returned them to the government looking for them.

“We knew it would happen eventually....” and with that murmured deceleration, Wolf willed herself back into sleep. It was going to be a long fight, and she needed all the energy she could gather.

“I’m going to be sick.”

“You’ll be fine. Deep breaths.”

“No, I’m seriously going to be sick. And it’s not only the wedding. Something is coming. I can feel it. Like a chill seeping into my body. I don’t like this Ryoko.”

“I’m telling you kid, it’s all in your head. I mean come on, who would be after you?” Ryoko asked with a snort, going back to picking out the flowers for her friend. With an evil grin, she grabbed a few white flowers, and put them together with some now black and withered ones. “I think this will suit your current stat of mind. What do you think?”

She got no response. Castalia was looking out the window, her eyes unfocused. Her face was whiter then usual and her hands were clenched tightly at her sides. “Wolf...”

“...what?”

“Wolf is coming...this...could actually work in my favor...”

“What are you talking about?”

“Nothing. Just...if things start to get too bad, get everyone out of here safely...other then the robot. Okay?”

“O..kay...”

With a bright smile, Castalia moved from the window and grabbed the flowers from Ryoko’s hands. “Thanks. Things are really looking up now. We ready to do this now?”

“Ah, yeah, I guess so...are you sure your okay?”

With a node, she walked out the door, a real smile lighting her face for the first time in a long while. Ryoko looked out the window, her face not as cheerful. She had felt it too. The impending doom that seemed to fill the room. She didn’t know who this Wolf person was, but she knew of only one person who could put a chill so easily down her spin. He was looking for her.

“They had better have good protection here. I will not be able to fight him in the state I am now. Not without all my power. And not with so many people in the way...”

The fact she said it aloud, did not register. Only one thing seemed to present it’s self to her. If it was he who came, she had to protect her mate with all of her might. Even if that meant she would die. Because now that she had found him, life without him would lose it’s color...

The bastard had his back to her. That was the first thing Castalia noticed as she walked through the double doors into the cathedral. Instead of watching the bride, he had his back to her, and was staring at the candles. It was almost enough to make her walk out of the damned church and say ‘damn my plant and all others to hell!’.

The though that Wolf would save her by killing her before it was the only thing that kept her walking toward the insufferable bastard...robot...prince...thing. “Wolf, you had better not let me down kid...”

As if hearing her name, the glass ceiling of the cathedral shattered and a young woman with hip long black hair landed perfectly on her feet between Castalia and her intended. “It’s been a long time Cast.” and with that, she formed a dark red energy sword in her hand and made a lunge for her pray.

“About damned time Wolf!” Asta bite out as she dodged the attack, forming energy balls in her hands and tossing them at her old friend. “Seem you’ve gotten better kid. Think you can kill me this time?”

Wold smirked, and sent an energy ball directly into Castalia’s stomach. The red head went flying into a podium, but bounced back almost instantly. As the two fought, exchanging blows and insults, the witnesses and the groom stood back in awe. Though it looked as if they were having the time of their life, you could tell they were out for the others head.

Both had something to prove to the other. And both were willing to die before they gave in. As the thought came to Bryn, his heart seemed to stop for a moment. Not wanting to look too deeply into the reason, he decided it was because the young barbarian was to be the mother of his children.

Never mind the fact he had no intention of bedding her. Never mind the fact he had planed to send her to live on another plant entirely. None of that even came to him as he drew his sword handle, and forced his life energy into it. It flared brightly, and as it did, he made a lunge for his would-be-wife’s assailant. He was about to cut into her shoulder when Castalia shoved her out of the way and took the wound for her. Blue eyes turned black as they turned toward him, her teeth growing longer and sharper in her mouth.

“Do not interfere, or I will tare your head from your shoulders...” She growled out, her fingers flexing as she turned back to wolf. “This has been too long coming. Come Wolf, lets see who is the stronger fighter...”

Ryoko fazed in and grasped Bryan’s arm, then fazed out. Slowly but surly, starting with her own love, she got everyone out of the chapel, wether they wanted her help or not. Bryan was the later. He had fought the whole way, threatening to slay her on the spot if she did not let him back in after she deposited him in a secure room with the others.

“Shut up!” Ryoko shouted above him, her eyes flashing red briefly. Covering her face with one hand, she took a deep breath. “You need to be prepared to kill her your highness. The demon half of her personality has consumed her.”

“What the hell are you talking about?!” Bryan demanded, then pointed a finger at her eyes and grit his teeth. “The same thing happened to you, but you were fine after a few minuts. Don’t spout out such --”

“This is different!” tears filled her eyes and she looked away, covering them with her hand so no one would see. “...this is different. I had Tenchi as my rock. Because both halves of me knew it would hurt him, I could change back. Castalia doesn’t have that. There is nothing to draw her human side back to her.”

“What dose that mean?” Even though he had asked the question, Bryan already thought he knew the answer. And from the look Ryoko was giving him, she knew it too. He would have to kill her before she turned on them all. He would have to kill the person that just minutes ago, he had been prepared to promise the rest of him life to. And it scared him like nothing else had since he had been in short pants....


Will Bryan actually kill Castalia? Can I kill off one of the main characters in this story? I was thinking about that, and I’ve decided, that since she is not part of the ‘real’ Tenchi crew, that I can....so many fun cliff hangers come to mind now....hehehe =^.^=
