New story. With my college done for now I decided to write this story. For once it will follow Yang. Why you ask? Read and find out.
Chapter One: Resemblance
It was late afternoon, near 4:30, when the sounds of nurses roaming the halls would turn this woman's world around. Her long blonde hair standing against a sea of white as she winced at the large black eye that was forming. To her left were her heart monitor and EKG machines beeping steadily. On her left wrist, a paper band with the last name printed on it. Xiao Long. It was all she could remember from her time in this hospital or medical facility as Ruby put it every visit. Ever since she woke up today the young blonde couldn't think of her own name or how she got here. The only semblance of normality was the nurses constantly checking on her and calling her ' Long'.
Looking to the large door swinging open the blonde watched the smaller redhead step into the room. She was wearing her red hoodie and carrying a black and red backpack on her back. Behind her was a tall red-haired woman wearing a golden yellow t-shirt with a large moon placed in the center. Her hips were covered by shorts that hugged her legs and botox tightly. Seeing this type of clothing always made the blonde quite uncomfortable but she never knew why. Behind the redheads was a tall black-haired woman wearing her usual cat ear accessories. As the woman closed the door and turned to her two friends the blonde could see everything she was wearing. A crop top that hung tightly to her large breast but closed right below them. Leather pants that constantly squeaked every time she walked. Lastly a large black and yellow leather jacket with a little heart shaped fire placed over her heart.
"How are you doing today Yang?" The small redhead asked holding her red-haired girlfriend's hand giving it a small squeeze. The blonde looked at the small woman with a puzzled look still on her face. For she had no idea who this yang was even though this woman who called her sis or sister kept calling to her and visiting her constantly. Looking to her left the blonde could see the black-haired woman pull out a book from the small redhead's bag.
"Who is this Yang?" The blonde asked causing the small redhead to sigh softly. The distasteful flavor of repeating this to the blonde grew more bitter by the day. The two women stared at one another in a now silent deadlock. The faded lilac staring into a glowing silver as their eyes squint. The shock of pain shooting through the blonde's right eye caused her to back down fast. Her loud scream echoing through the room and out into the hall despite the door being closed. Almost instantly four nurses bolt through the door as they start to restrain the blonde. Her once lilac eyes now a deep red even through the black eye. As the doctor came rushing in she hurried Ruby and her friends into the hallway while she grabbed a nerve tranquilizer. The door soon closed as though thumps could be heard causing Blake to close her eyes and wince in pain.
"That sounds like it has to hurt," Blake commented as the two redheads shot her a glare before they all burst out laughing. Even though it was a long shot Blake hoped her Sunny Little Dragon would've remembered about them dating. But after the past seven times, Yang has been here the once throbbing pain was now a dull ache. Blake knew her mother Kali and father Ghira would take Yang into their home in a heartbeat. But due to her alcoholic mother constantly beating her over the most trivial of tasks. She despised Raven to her very core ever since she met her through Ruby.
"How about some cocoa Ruby? Blake?" The tall redhead asked as she adjusted her ex-boyfriend's shirt. She watched Blake give a simply nod before she turned to her arm. As she stared into the silver pools of life she fell in love with Pyrrha could feel her heart begin to melt. She knew that Ruby was silently asking for some cookies while they enjoyed their hot beverages. "No Ruby."
The stare between Pyrrha and the smaller redhead went on as Blake continued to read her book. Seconds began to turn into Minutes as the staring kept going between the two women. That was until the doctor and nurses emerged from Yang's room looking different than before. Two nurses were bleeding at the wrist from Yang's PTSD attack, one was holding their head from being kicked into a wall and the last nurse was unharmed surprisingly. The doctor, on the other hand, had a black eye to match Yang's and a few bite marks from the mistake of reaching over her.
Looking to the redheads who resumed their silent argument than to the doctor as he waved them off. Seeing the so-called okay sign from him Blake strolled back into the room to see her unconscious lover lying still in a drug induced slumber. She could still remember the first time Yang was placed in the hospital. Back then she had mild amnesia from Raven's trademarked left hook but still remembered that she was in love with her. Now it wasn't even that. Yang had no memory of who she was or why she was being held in this hospital. The only thing she remembered was a black-haired woman with crimson eyes beating on her to know end. Unfornately Blake could still remember her screaming for help that night.
As she approached the door Blake could feel her heart skip several beats. It was date night for the cat and her dragon and in her hand were a bundle of red roses for Yang. Blake planned throughout the previous night trying to make this date perfect for her perfect girlfriend. But as she reached the doorstep Blake could hear a faint cry for help. In fear Raven was beating Ruby she kicked the door open only to have her heart sink. In the middle of the living room was Raven pushing a pillow cushion down on Yang's face as she kept throwing her left hook. The faint screams of Yang calling for help now filled her mind with an untapped rage. In a blighted fury Blake grabbed Raven off of Yang before throwing a punch into the elder woman's stomach. Taking her phone out Blake began to dial 911 for Yang.
As she approached Yang she lowered her ear to Yang's open mouth listening for any breathe. Nothing. In terror Blake began giving Yang mouth to mouth she learned during her lifeguard classes. Silently she mouth counted the number of pumps on Yang's chest before tilting her head slightly. Out the corner of her eye she watched her blonde girlfriend's chest cavity rise slightly. After seeing this she began pumping on Yang's chest again counting silently. As she reached thirty Blake could hear the ambulance pull up. In addition she could hear the faint heartbeats of Yang's heart slow down. Turning to the men Blake screamed at the top of her lungs to help Yang. In a panic the two men pushed Blake aside before pulling a difibulator from there medical bag. Ripping her top open the first man pushed the electrified pads to the blonde's chest. First jump and nothing. The second man adjusted the electricity for more output. Second Jump and nothing. In a last attempt the two men placed the machine on maximum power before yelling clear. Third Jump. The blonde woman shot up screaming in paint after feeling the electric burn her skin in an attempt to rescue her from the jaws of death. There was just one problem though. The blonde woman had forgotten who she was and where she was at.
That was a distant past now as Blake watched the two women reenter the room. One was holding two cups filled with the molten hot liquid, the other was holding three cookies like shuriken from Blake's favorite novel "Ninjas of Love: Unto Dawn". As she took the warm cup from the taller redhead she noticed a all to familiar expression that she had come accustom too after knowing Ruby for years. Smiling slightly as the three woman sat beside the elder blonde's bedside as though they awaited for her awakening. Blake often considered this as a fairy tale story with no end in sight as of yet. But as she leaned over Pyrrha could hear Blake's faint words, "Didn't win this time did you? 0-9 Pyrrha."
The taller redhead knew what she was talking about. It was the same situation she always had with her rose. The moment a confrontation between the two would start Ruby broke out her molten silver eyes. Quivering her lips ever the slightest. A teardrop peeking on thee side of her eyes as if the smaller woman would break down after being denied what she wanted. It gave the same reaction out of the elder of the two every time. Her heart would slowly break open. Her lungs would tighten in fear of losing the redhead. Her mind would crack under the pressure. Within minutes she would given in to her girlfriend and do absolutely anything to keep her happy and safe.
It also didn't help that Blake was like a second big sister to the smaller woman. The threat of possible danger from Blake was always thick. Thicker than a fog rolling through the mountains of Mantle as they swept through Atlas. But as of late the taller redhead knew Blake's mind was on her best friend's previous image. A mental scar of the night Yang became this way. The fear of when Raven would come pay her daughter a visit, weather it was bound by handcuffs or rope. The image of Ruby in the same state. It was always terrifying to her. It would be a nightmare brought to life through the blood of satan as the grimm devoured her like a passage from the scriptures of her church. But now minutes turned into hours as Blake sat beside Yang, paitently awaiting her love's return.
(Line Break, Take a breather people.)
The air was still as Yang awoke to her usual alarm clock. Her short blonde hair frizzed from the pillow she was laying on. Looking to her left she saw her small sister curled up on the same pillow she was. Her red hair standing against the white causing the young girl to smile in happiness. It didn't last though as Yang heard her 'mother', Summer Xiao Long calling for her to come down stairs. In a rush she flew down the stairs to see her beautiful mother standing in a white nightgown holding a wiggling box. In curiosity Yang took the top from the box.
By surprise when a small black and white corgi puppy came jumping out and into her arms. A smile on her face as she felt the small dog licking her face. The loud laughter of Yang rang through the house. Summer stood beside the kitchen doorway watching the small dog lick her daughter as her husband, Taiyang entered the room from upstairs.
"Sum! I wanted to see her reaction to the pooch too!" The elder blonde haired man complained before following his wife's finger. On the fireplace mantle was a small video camera recording the experssion and enjoyment Yang was having with her puppy. With a quick motion Tai crossed the room to Summer. Giving her a slow longing kiss for everything she's done for him.
Seeing her parents kissing Yang went to groan playfully before being interrupted by a puppy's tongue. A long wet kiss ran through the roof of her mouth as Yang rolled over spitting and gagging to the puppy's display of affection. Hearing their child both parents laughed silently before parting from one another. Tai strolled into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for his family all the while letting Summer climb the stairs to wake her little rose. Unaware to the elder woman, the small puppy was following in pursuit barking at every step.
While her parents did what they were going to do, the small blonde heard a knock at the door. She knew who it was due to the day it was. It was young Yang Xiao Long's eighth birthday. In a rush she opened the door to see her Uncle Qrow standing there with a black haired woman beside him. A drunk smile on his face as the two adults passed her into the kitchen. Yang shrugged her shoulders shutting the door. Before long she heard a commotion that signaled Summer to descend the stairs in a hurry. In her arms was the sleeping little rose. Handing Ruby to the young blonde Summer entered the kitchen to find Tai's ex-wife drunk again and probably demanding her usual. "Yang take Ruby to our room and lock the door!" Summer ordered as the young blonde, the sleeping redhead and small dog ran into their parent's room twisting the lock before crawling into Summer's waredobe awaiting her mother to come for her.
