'You are the queen, and I am your servant. We're a pitiful pair of twins separated by fate. So for the sake of protecting you, I'll become evil for you.'
Yuki groaned, slapping her phone a few times to make her alarm stop. It was too early for her taste. She buried her face in her pillow and continued to moan and groan. It was a fact, that girl was alergic to mornings. She slowly, but surely pried herself from her bed, her bare feet slipping into her teddy bear slippers as she stumbled around her room. Yuki's eyes adjusted to the scenery, no longer in dream world. Her room was a light teal color with lots of colorful accents. Mostly orange though since that was her favorite color along with blue. Yuki grabbed her clothes she had picked out the night prior due to her slow movement in the morning.
"Yo, Dylan, wanna get out and wait in here while I change." Yuki said. Dylan appeared and gave her a small hug, as usual his angel wings wrapping around her, making a shield.
"Good morning, Teddy Bear." he murmured before releasing Yuki. Yuki grinned.
"Mornin', Prince." Yuki smiled. "I'm gonna go change in the bathroom, I'll be back." Yuki said before rushing to her bathroom and changing into a powder blue skirt that was frilly and puffy, an orange fitted tee shirt that was accented with a topaz necklace she had gotten from Will from her birthday, thigh high pink and white stripped socks, and brown combat boots. She exited the bathroom and sat at her vanity, turning on her flat iron and beginning to brush her spastic hair. Dylan noticed her yanking on her head too much and took the brush from her.
"Here, let me." Dylan said as he began to gently brush her knotted hair. Yuki relaxed a bit. Dylan's touch, even when he was alive, and now especially was just so gentle. It was relaxing, or at least Yuki thought so. The quiet angel boy then began to flat iron her hair for her.
"Thanks, Dylan." Yuki said, beginning to apply her foundation.
"No problem." Dylan replied with a smile, finishing her hair with Yuki's signature low pigtails tied up in orange ribbons. Yuki got up and gave her angelic twin a hug.
"Thanks." Yuki murmured.
"Again, it was my pleasure. Now why don't we get some breakfast?" Dylan said, melting back into Yuki once more. Yuki nodded.
"Ok." Yuki said shortly as she left her semi empty room.
...
"Morning, Snowflake." Yang said as she gave Yuki her bagel and omelet.
"Morning, Auntie Yang." Yuki replied.
"So are you excited for your first day at Tranquil?" Yang asked.
"Nervous. Mom's not gonna actually be my caretaker while I'm there. What if I have to figure out how to cook all by myself, or the oldest roommate is mean, or I forget my room key and can't get in-"
"Chill, sweet heart, it's not going to be that bad. Besides, you'll still see us practically every day. Your mom's the head mistress and James and I are teachers." Yang assured. "Plus occasionally Ruby brings Dawn to class so you'll still see your sister as well. It's really Nathan you'll have to miss. Nathan and Luke. Two people, that's not too bad."
"Did you give Luke Hazel's feeding schedule?" Yuki asked.
"Yep and gave him the note about Rini." Yang said.
"No offence, but I find it kinda stupid you bottle feed the cat." Luke commented. Luke had grown a lot more confident where he stood and was a little cocky at times. Yuki glared.
"If my cat starves, I'm gonna rip you into so many pieces you'll be unrecognizable." Yuki threatened.
"Yuki, Luke, be nice." Yang scolded.
"Sorry, Auntie Yang."
"Sorry, Mom."
"Good, now eat, we don't have all day." Yang instructed.
...
"Ok, that's everything." Yuki said, packing the last bit of luggage into the bottom of the airship.
"All your stuffed animals and collector dolls too?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, Mom." Yuki replied, grabbing her duffle bag from off the ground.
"I'm gonna be taking a different airship, do you think you'll be ok?" Ruby asked.
"I'll be just fine, Mom. Love you." Yuki hugged Ruby goodbye.
"Love you too. Don't explode or anything." Ruby chuckled.
"Mom, I've got this." Yuki said as she walked away. "And I'll see ya later!"
Yuki ran onto the airship and quickly claimed a window spot. She looked out at the view, seeing the beautiful view that was Kloris, Utopia. Supposively the exact mountain Kloris was killed on was the mountain Tranquil Academy was located on... Though Yuki doubted there was any way of knowing that. Suddenly the ground below her moved, shifting upwards. Yuki looked out the window with a grin.
"Dylan, it's so pretty." Yuki said. Dylan from inside giggled.
(Yes, yes it is, Teddy Bear.) Dylan said.
"I think things will go better than I gave them credit for. I mean, why was I so afraid?" Yuki continued.
(Because it's a big step. I'm sure it'll be fun, but Yuki, I think you should major in theater, not combat. You like it, but your passion doesn't lie in fighting. It's for singing, acting , and writing, all things you're very good at. Why torcher yourself?)
"Dylan, I'm living two lives here. Yours, and mine. I want you to live your dream, so you can through my body. I have to learn the skills so we don't get hurt." Yuki explained.
(BS. I lived it. I died with it. I saved your life, I was your hero. That's all I need. I only want you to be happy.)
Yuki sighed, twiddling with her thumbs she said, "I'm sticking with it, so drop it." Dylan sighed. He'd heard that tone before. It was the 'I know your right but I'm too stubborn to admit it' tone.
(Ok, but don't be afraid to change your mind)
"Gah, you sound like Mom." Yuki groaned.
(It's because she's right)
"Says you."
(Yeah, says the person living within you and knows you better than the back of my hand.)
"Screw you, Dylan."
(I love you too.)
"What's with that girl?" a random student asked. Yuki turned around, realizing she had the conversation in public.
"Is she mental? She's talking to the wall." another chirped in.
"Maybe she's hallucinating." one suggested.
"Or she's stupid." another said. Yuki pouted, blushing in embarrassment.
"Nothing to see here, ladies. Get back to your low carb air." Yuki scoffed.
"You could use some." one said.
"Screw you, I actually look healthy and you guys are walking skeletons." Yuki said.
"At least I'm not talking to my imaginary boyfriend." one of the girls with curls said. Yuki's eyes turned a blood red, similar to Yang's.
"Dylan was my brother and he's dead because of stupid people like you freaks." Yuki said in a low, bloody anger voice. Yuki glared at them, forging steaming hot water in her hand.
(Yuki, stop it, they're not worth it.)
Yuki took a deep breath, her eyes going back to normal and the water vanishing.
"You're not worth it." Yuki grumbled as she looked back out the window. A little window watching was really all she needed, she perked up (along with her cat ears) after about five minutes of the incident. Yuki was a timid girl that never stood up for herself, until someone brought up Dylan in a negative manner. Then Yuki much like Yang would go into an anger mode only Dylan could soothe away.
(Feeling better?)
"Yeah, much better. Thanks, Prince." Yuki sighed in relief. Nobody dared say a word this time. It was obvious to Yuki now. She wasn't gonna have the easiest time making friends. She was twelve, a year under the starting age, due to a spectacular novel she had written and Blake was helping edit, Blake pulled some strings to let Yuki come early. So there she was. New fish in the pond, lonely, and now classified as a freak. Crap.
...
"WOW! It's huge! This school is HUGE!" Yuki exclaimed upon seeing the size of the school. It was like an old Bellandonnitorian palace only fifty times bigger. Yuki twirled around a few times in joy. Nothing was gonna ruin her reputation more, after all she 'went all Yang' on those anorexic, most likely popular girls. Notice most populars looked like walking skeletons in Vytal? Yuki wanted to know whatever happened to obese being cool. Not that Yuki was even fat. She had a nearly flat stomach for heaven's sake. Why did people call her fat at the coffee shop the day before? Why screw with the self conscious twelve year old's self image? Geez.
Suddenly- WHACK! Yuki froze at what she had just done. Stunned and a little angry looking, sixteen year old Cassandra stood right there in front of her, her face with a red spot from Yuki swinging her hand into her accidently.
"I-I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, SO sorry, Cassandra! I didn't mean it! I swear!" Yuki exclaimed, nearly in tears. Cassandra rolled her eyes.
"Nice to see I flew out here from Vale just to get slapped in the face and used as a chin rest." Cassandra snorted.
"I'm sorry, I honestly didn't mean it." Yuki said.
"Whatever. Just, stay out of my way and watch where you're going. You're lucky I happen to be in a good mood today." and with that Cassandra walked off, Will push both of their luggage racks.
"Hey, Princess. Excuse her, she's pissed at Mom's boyfriend." Will said.
"Your mom started dating?" Yuki asked.
"Yeah, it took her long enough. I'm becoming a girl, I swear to the heavens. I shouldn't know what the heck a stiletto is." Will complained.
"Sorry, Big Brother." Yuki giggled.
"Haha, just wait there, I'll help you with your luggage in a minute." Will said before walking off.
Yuki tapped her foot while she waited.
"Is there a reason you're standing in the middle of the walk way?" a voice came from behind her. Yuki jumped and looked beside her. Yuki saw a tall girl about fifteen years old with smoky black hair that was in a curly ponytail, purple colored contacts, a bit of a tan, and a bright red lip stick.
"Oh, I'm waiting for someone." Yuki said shyly.
"I see, you're co-dependent." the girl said.
"N-N- So what if I am?" Yuki stuttered.
"I don't care if you are or not. I'm just curious." she said.
"Why an interest in me?" Yuki demanded.
"Well you totally told those half dressed skeletons where to stick it. I admire that." she said.
"Y-You do? I normally don't do that kind of stuff, but they triggered some kind of post traumatic stress so..." Yuki admitted.
"So, Dylan really was your brother?" the girl asked.
"Yes, we are twins. I feel comfortable talking to him." Yuki said.
"We all have our thing. I sometimes talk to my mother at night when nobody's listening." she said.
"Did she die?" Yuki asked.
"... Yeah." the girl hesitated.
"I'm so sorry. I couldn't imagine what that'd be like." Yuki said.
"It was hard, but I survived. I can survive whatever life throws at me, but I normally end up alone. My advice to you is fight to survive and lose others, or lose life. It's an option we must make." and with that the girl walked away. Yuki just stood there, thinking about the girl's words.
"Things must not be that great at home." Yuki said. "I hope she gets some hope somewhere along the way."
"Hey, Yuki!" Will called. Yuki pushed her suit case rack piled sky high over to Will.
"Thanks for the help, Will." Yuki chirped.
"No problamo, Princess." Will slurred as he started to push the luggage rack to the ball room where people lacking dorms slept until assigned. The set up was much like Beacon. Do whatever intermission required for your major, get teammates or roommates, get a dorm, go to class with other random stuff floating about. Yuki sighed then spotted someone familiar in the ball room. So did Will.
"Hey, Kitty Cat." Will flirted.
"Leave me alone, Will, I'm trying to read." Molly glared.
"Hi, Molly." Yuki said. Molly looked over at Yuki and smiled.
"Hi, Yuki, how's your day been so far?" Molly asked.
"Ok I guess." Yuki said.
"Don't worry, it gets better." Molly said.
"Why are you here in the ballroom?" Yuki asked.
"Well, my team actually isn't here anymore so I need a new one. Therefore I'm here." Molly explained.
"That sounds stressful and unfortunate -"
"Shut up, Will." Molly cut him off.
"No message then?" Will asked.
"What do you think?" Molly glared.
"You're good at playing hard to get-" SLAP! "I'm gonna go find a corner to cry in." Will slipped away.
"Men." Molly groaned.
"I know right." Yuki replied.
...
"Geez, it just had to be Crackdonalds." Yuki complained.
(Just eat.)
"I don't like it, though." Yuki whined.
(Suck it up and scrape off the onion. It's not that hard.)
"Fine." Yuki groaned as she opened the pre-ordered burger and scrapped off the onions she despised.
"Don't like onions to this day, I see." Molly laughed.
"I just can't stand them." Yuki said.
"Yet you love Mexican food. That's odd." Molly said.
"I know, my aunt says that a lot." Yuki said.
"Hey, Molly." Will started.
"Not. Another. Word." Molly said.
"So I can't sit with the two lovely princesses and get away from my tyrant sister for at least dinner?" Will begged.
"Sure, Big Brother can sit next to me." Yuki chirped.
"Yes, sit next to Yuki." Molly said.
"Ok." Will plopped down next to Yuki and stared at Molly.
"Is me eating a hamburger that interesting?" Molly asked.
"It's cute." Will said.
"It's cute?" Molly quirked an eyebrow.
"Yeah." Will said simply.
...
"Hey it's that girl again." Yuki said, looking over at the girl from earlier. She was currently sitting with Molly, Will, and Jake. Molly was busying herself with a book, Will and Jake were making armpit farts, and Yuki had been writing but noticed the girl in the corner. Yuki thought for a second.
(Go make a friend. She seems to lack hope.)
"Y-Yeah." Yuki replied as she walked over to the girl and sat next to her. "Do you like to draw?"
"Yeah, why are you sitting here?" she asked.
"I-I never caught your name and I was think maybe I could get to know you better." Yuki fidgeted with her clothes. She did that constantly, especially when she was uncomfortable.
"It's Jaquline and good luck with that." the girl now known as Jaquline said.
"Hi, Jaquline, I'm Yuki, but you can call me whatever." Yuki said.
"Ok, Happy-Go-Lucky." Jaquline said, never looking up from her sketch book. "Can you please go away and leave me alone." Jaquline narrowed her eyes at Yuki.
"O-Ok, Jaquline, I'll see you around." Yuki said as she started to walk away.
"Kids." Jaquline mumbled.
...
"Wow, Yuki how many stuffed animals did you bring?" Jake asked.
"All of them." Yuki replied in her closed off stuffed animal fortress she made around her feather bed she was sleeping on that night.
"Geez, girl, there's still more in your suit cases." Jake looked around.
"Here, I'll tuck you in." Molly kneeled beside Yuki and draped several quilts and blankets over her. "That should keep the cold from nipping you."
"Thanks, Molly." Yuki yawned.
"Your welcome." Molly gently embraced the younger girl. "Sweet dreams, Yuki-chan."
"Sweet dreams, sissy." Yuki rolled onto her tummy
"Aw, that's so cute." Will cued.
"I spend a lot of time with her." Molly said.
"Yeah, Yuki's always at our place it seems." Jake commented. "One time Jeni accidently turned her into a cat."
"How do you manage to do that?" Will asked.
"She was using Yuki as her test dummy. She was trying to figure out how to enhance faunus animal features, in other words, she was wanting to give Yuki a tail." Jake explained.
"Wow, glad Yuki's a person again." Will said.
"Yeah, we are too." Molly said with a yawn. "Ok, I'm hitting the hay, Jake, keep an eye on Will." Molly crawled onto her air mattress and pulled up the blankets.
"I can be trusted!" Will explained.
"Dude, you can't be trusted. But if you really like my sister that much, I'll ship her to your house for free. We've got a two for one offer and no exchange policy." Jake said.
