Nail 001 - SHE IS (NOT) MY WIFE
[How... peculiar. Bang woke up in a bed early Monday morning. That is... quite odd. In the bed next to him.... no... this can't be right, can it? There's a woman there. And while she does have an appealing figure... this... no, this isn't right at all! Bang gets nervous. Really nervous. He wasn't hung over, so a bad judgment call while drinking was tossed right out the window. He then made his way over to the bathroom. Maybe he was just half asleep and he just needed some water splashed on his face!]
Well... Maybe I'm still waking up. A nice dose of cold water to the face always does the trick!
[Cue him dragging himself to the bathroom...and looking in the mirror only to realize... his scar is gone? His constant reminder of Jin Kisaragi, and the horrors that befell Ikaruga.... gone. Confused and almost frightened by this... he splashes the water to his face quickly to see if his vision wasn't failing. Nope. Bang frantically runs back to the bedroom, noticing the pictures on the wall...a wife? Kids? No... no this isn't right at all! Bang's about to freak out, but he must remember his training: Don't painc!]
A ninja must have full control over his mind at all times! This is all just one terrible nightmare! But... this is nothing that Bang Shishigami can't overcome! Now if I just concentrate hard here.... Perhaps I can manipulate my dreams to replace this woman with Kagutsuchi's goddess of beauty!
[He continues his intense concentration, only to fail hard (and give himself a headache to boot) At this point, the drone!wife wakes up, wishes Bang a good morning and gives him a kiss, and tells him she'll make breakfast right away.]
I-I do believe you've mistaken me for someone else, ma'am. While I do appreciate the sentiments... and the meal, I must inform you that you're not the wife I'm looking for... you see...you are not the beloved flower of Kagutsuchi and....
[He gets ignored, as the sounds of morning cooking overpower his voice. Right now anyways. He might as well get dressed, because who can resist a good breakfast to start the day! He opens up the closet and gives a quick scan... and screams. No scarf, no gauntlets, no gigantic nail. Only suits. While they were his favorite color... ]
A SUIT AND TIE DOES NOT BEFIT A HERO OF JUSTICE!
[He reluctantly puts them on anyways, because well... he couldn't deny the fact that he was a handsome man. A handsome man in a suit. If Miss Litchi didn't fall head over heels for him now, he wasn't sure what would make her]
YOU! YOU VILE, NASTY WOMAN! WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?! DID YOU SEDUCE ME SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE AWAY MY STATUS AS A HERO OF JUSTICE! WELL, BANG SHISHIGAMI IS ON TO YOUR PLANS, SISTER! I REFUSE TO LET MYSELF BE TIED DOWN TO THIS LIFE OF NORMALCY! TO EVEN THINK I WOULD SETTLE FOR SOMETHING LESS THAN THE BEST IS...DISGUSTING! KAGUTSUCHI NEEDS ME! THE WORLD NEEDS ME! AND FURTHERMORE... FURTHERMORE.... THAT... smells really good...
[Breakfast is done! She heard some of his yelling, but told him of course that it was all a bad dream. He eats the meal, and is... quite satisfied with it actually.
Ah... yes, you must have placed my gear in a phone booth or something nearby! Can't have the enemies of justice knocking on your door, after all. Yes, I must not dally, for Kagutsuchi needs me! There is evil about in the world, injustice! And I, Bang Shishigami, must be there to right the wrongs! Oh. What? Mayfield? Where or what is a Mayfield... Oh well, it does not matter right now! Off to make life a living hell for the enemies of justice!! You may rest easy, miss...for BANG SHISHIGAMI IS ON THE PROWL! I shall return... in time for supper!
[She may have not been Miss Litchi, but that drone!wife cooked a hell of a meal. He steps out of the house on to...only to realize, that this wasn't Kagutsuchi. This wasn't anything like it at all. Where the hell was he? Anyways, he's standing outside 2235 Stevens Road, mouth wide open and frozen in place.]
