Disclaimer: I will listen to fans I need feedback! If you have an idea of some kind of want me to try to flush out other ships I will gladly try, unless there is a ship i could never see Example: Sun X Cinder, Something ridiculous. I will not waver on the ships however that appear in my top 3. I will also not change my arc ships unless a ship goes Canon.
Warning about Writing: At times, I will add a disclaimer for "Not safe for work" or "NSFW." For those chapters that require. There will not be many. Also The point of view is first person but changing perspectives from person to person to show different angles to the same problem or whatever.
ENJOYYYYY!
Perspective: Blake
I cross my arms on the top of a building with my hands and feet resting on the roof top. Luckily for me my faunus cat keeps my balance incredibly well. I rest from a long day of lurking trying to discover anything about the events that unfolded months earlier, The events that drove us all apart. I sit looking upon the world and my mind races to the ideas of my Team and everyone we lost. I feel hot tears run down my left cheek. I can't help but mutter one name.
"Yang." I saw everything that happened. Her arm, she tried so hard to protect me. I was stunned. I never felt that anyone would care about me like that. In my mind, I let the feelings I had for her dwell in my subconscious, I wrote them off as childish fantasies. But when I saw that flash of resistance and defiance at ready to kill Adam because he hurt me. I knew she cared. I was afraid to admit my attraction and scared that Adam would come for her as he had threatened. I stand and dive off the rooftop into the woods and quickly make my way from tree to tree moving quickly. I try to allow my mind to shift and rationalize why I left. I always tell myself that it is because I wanted to protect those three. I want Yang, Ruby, and Weiss to be safe. Lately, I've been thinking it is more like I was afraid of what Adam would do and How I felt. I felt so vulnerable, Like a child. I quickly come upon a house and perch myself looking upon the home. It is a nice wooden home. I come here often to allow myself to think and to keep an eye on things. Then I hear something so familiar yet distant. It is a voice I thought I would never hear again.
"Dad, It doesn't matter anymore. I can't be a huntress. I can't do anything. I'm just a useless cripple. Mom, might be a rogue huntress with no allegiance to anyone and completely gone, but at least she is useful! What Am I? A cripple, that's what I am! I'm not going back!" Yang's distinct and anger filled voice rang amongst the trees. I felt my heart skip several beats as she talked. Completely in a trance from the start of her rant. I wanted to go there and hug her and tell her everything. To just cry and explain myself and do anything to bring Yang back. I know I can't though, All I can do now is observe and protect Yang. I bring out a book out of the bag I'm carrying, lean my back against the chimney and begin to read.
Perspective switch: Yang
I feel my anger subside as I reach for the door with my now phantom right hand. I nearly lose it because I still haven't gotten use to the lack of my arm. It has been nine months. Ruby is on the Run, Weiss is with Daddy dearest, And Blake is a Ninja in the wind just like she wanted. I hate myself for ever falling for her. I feel so stupid for thinking anything would change. Nothing is ever going to change. I'm going to be just like I am and Everyone is gone doing something great. And I'm stuck here doing nothing.
I take a seat on my bed and look up at the ceiling contemplating my life and why Adam didn't just kill me. Why didn't Blake let me die? It isn't like she cared. I'm so tired and angry and lack caring. I never hear Uncle Qrow open the door.
"Hey kiddo." His voice being the usual soft yet stern tone. "How ya doing?"
"How does it look like I'm doing Qrow? Where have you been? You and Ruby have been gone for 9 months."
"I don't know where Ruby is. I've been following up on leads left by Ozpin. I have something for you."
"What is it?" I asked slowly wondering why Qrow seemed sober and normal for once.
"You have to come with me and trust me. Can you do that?"
"Qrow, you have to be kidding? Can't you see my arm is gone. I'm useless!" I snapped.
"Then let's do something about that. I know my sister doesn't want to see you out of action and she would kick your butt until you got moving. So, I came instead. Get some clothes on, grab ember celica. We have a long flight ahead of us." Qrow remained leaning against the wall looking as cool and calm as ever. I obeyed his orders knowing that I could argue with him, but all that would do is make things worse. He had already made me angry enough to kill including my mother in this.
"Does dad know?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"What happened to your go get and fighting attitude?"
"Sorry, must have been in my right hand."
"Ouch, Want a drink? You certainly look like you could use it."
"No. Let's go. But leave dad a note. Okay?" Qrow quickly wrote out a note and planted it on the desk.
"Happy?"
"No." Qrow and Yang walked out of the back to avoid TaiYang.
