Ranma ignored the castle from that point on, opting to inspect the guards. When he had first seen these undead beings, G'nolga and Hanza had to restrain him from doing anything stupid, like wiping their asses off the face of the world.
"Just shut up, stay quiet, and if any of these guys try to put their greedy paws on you, kick them in the face." Hanza advised as she casually punched a skeletons head off when it made a grab for her ass.
Ranma sweat dropped, Tanya snarled, G'nolga didn't seem effected, and Six was holding onto Jane while staring fearfully at everything. Jane looked like she was about to have Six join the undead, if the twitch in her eye and the snarling of her purple lips meant anything.
"She hadn't gotten over the Dead Collector yet, has she?" Ranma wondered. While it had been a shock to see some one walking around shouting "BRING OUT YOUR DEAD", it had been even more mind numbing when some guy had put his father on the cart, shortly before stabbing him in the chest and crowing, "See! He's dead now! Give me my money!"
"Strange place." Ranma said with a shrug as Hanza pushed the outer doors to the castle open.
***
Ranma hmmed as a pudgy dead chicken looking thing followed them with a broom and dustpan, sweeping up the places they had traveled through. Looking at the girls, Ranma had to wonder how desensitized to these things G'nolga really was. She didn't seem disturbed in the slightest, even when that undead dragon skeleton lunged at Six and Jane. He felt bad that he hadn't done anything to help the girls, but Jane seemed more then strong enough to handle that dead dragon while he was shocked into inaction anyway
Hanza didn't seem too disturb either, but then again she did say she worked for this guy.
Tanya.. well..
"BURN AND FRY!" The ex-kryn priestess screeched when she felt a bone hand grab her chest. The skeleton that appeared out of no where probably tried to look surprised as his bones disintegrated into dust, Ranma was sure of it. Still.. lacking any facial muscles, skin, tendons and the like kinda makes such gestures impossible to detect with any accuracy.
"This is becoming a habit." he grumbled, watching the pudgy dead chicken thing let off what he could only discern as a howl in frustration, which nearly earned it the same fate as the skeleton when Tanya, still jumpy from being man handled, whipped around and pointed that deadly spell casting hand at the thing. Thankfully Tanya had more restraint then she let on, so the pudgy chicken sweeper was allowed to live.. err.. something for another day.
"So Hanza.." Ranma drawled, back handing a skeleton that made a move for his crotch. A stray thought about whether or not that was a girl's skeleton, or just some gay skeleton crossed his mind before he buried it. "This guy Rook, he's a pervert huh?"
"Biggest perv you'll ever meet!" Hanza said with a voice full of disgust.
"You just need to know how to handle him." G'nolga said simply.
"Thirty-Eight!" Six sniffled, clutching the older woman's arms tightly. "I was so scared! Wah! I thought we were going to die!"
"Shut up, Six." Jane pursed her purple lips in a thin frown at the way Six was clinging to her. If she didn't know better...
"Ah, are you two okay?" Ranma asked, concerned. "That dead dragon didn't hurt you none?" he said seriously.
Jane eyed the boy. She contemplated responding with a withering barb, but she saw he was seriously concerned. "We'll be fine." she waved off his question, "Six just needs a nap."
"Ah.." A dragon needed naps to get over feeling scared? Ranma nodded, "So long as everything's all right I guess."
Tanya snorted, "Stop flirting, pig."
"Huh?!? Who you calling a pig!" Ranma's aura of obliviousness shielded him from the flirting accusation. None of the girls missed the fact he wasn't denying the accusation either, which made Six blush and Jane wonder why Tanya was acting the way she did.
Tanya was about to snidely retort, when Hanza busted in, "Quiet. Rook's in here." she said as she opened the door to Rook's antechamber.
