The first installment of a group of Stories called Tales of Team RWBY
I, in no form, own RWBY or any of its copyrighted material, and MOST of the details are purely fan fiction, based off of the work of Monty Oum.
Questions or Answers?- A Monochrome Tale
These events take place the week after Blake reveals her faunas heritage to her teammates. They are currently doing homework at the end of the day.
'I need to get Yang and Ruby out of here. I really don't want them to hear what I have to say to Weiss. Not while I'm saying it to her at least.'
"Hey guys, I'm gunna go get some homework snacks," Says our overly hyper leader as she gets up from around a circular table we have sitting in the center of the room. 'Ruby you have impeccable timing. Now, if you could just bring Yang with you, I might just hug you.'
"Ruby, don't overload yourself with cookies, or you'll be up all night, and I don't want to have to make you go to sleep. Again." There goes Weiss, once again being the nagging mother. It's almost endearing considering her questionable family history.
"Hey sis, Bring back some tuna while you're on your Blake!" Yang and her puns. I swear one day, I'm going to claw her tongue out.
"Yang, if you make one more bad pun I am going claw your tongue out!"
"Ruby, I think it's time we left, before I have to claw my way out of my own grave!" Weiss face palms, appropriately.
I growl "Yang!" and pull Gambol Shroud an inch out of her sheath.
"Ruby I think I'm hungry for some ice-cream, let's split!" says the busty blonde as she drags her sister out of the dorm by her arm, much in the same way she did when I first saw her.
"Much easier than expected," I mumble to myself.
"You wanted them to leave?" asks our resident heiress.
'Shit, said that out loud apparently. No use lying now.' "Yes. I wanted to speak to you alone."
"Look Blake, if this is about you being in the White Fang, I told you, 'I don't care.'"
'She saw directly through me. I suppose I'll have to be a little craftier about this than I originally assumed.' "Weiss, this has been eating at me for a while now. I can't get it out of my head that I helped make some part of your childhood miserable."
"It wasn't as bad as you think, Blake. Neither I nor my mother was ever abused if that's what you were thinking, but it wasn't nice to have my father always shouting at us. Even when he was yelling though, I could tell he loved us. He would always make up for it by buying us gifts and saying he was sorry. And I never once thought that we were the reason he always yelled and screamed what he did. In my young mind, it was always the White Fang who had made Daddy scream like that, who made Daddy say those hurtful things. Now do you see why I resent the White Fang so much?"
"Weiss, I joined the White Fang out of necessity, I left as soon as I could after the violence began. I feel ter-"
"Stop. You don't have to apologize Blake. You couldn't have known what you were causing, you were only doing what you thought was right. It was…. wrong…. of me to judge you, and all the other faunas, because of my childhood resentment."
"Thanks for saying that Weiss, I know how hard it was for you to admit that." 'As long as she doesn't blame me, I can do this. Hopefully. Even still, I will make it up to her. It's my fault that train car got stolen after all.'
"So, why did you absolutely have to join the White Fang anyways? Did you truly have no choice?"
'This question. I had truly hoped she wouldn't ask.' "No, as I said, I was practically born into it. When I was younger I-"
"I've got cookies!" Our sugar pumped leader yells as she bursts into the room, stopping when she sees the serious looks on both mine and Weiss' expressions. "What's uh...? What's going on?"
Weiss looks to me, and I give her a pleading look. "Nothing. Blake and I were just discussing the ethics of the early Turkish enslavement of the Greek city-states." 'Thanks Weiss, I owe you one.'
Yang, having seen my pleading look, obviously doesn't believe us, but thankfully plays along. "Riiiiight. Anyways, I think we should kick into these cookies!"
"Or, we could do our homework, which is due tomorrow!" 'Typical Weiss, however, I do agree.'
"I agree, we don't have much time, and someone should probably stop Ruby from eating all those cookies, or we'll be up all night trying to put her to bed."
"HEY! I'm not a kid you put to bed! I'm your leader." Ruby is always trying to reign in command.
"Yes, says the girl who has Blake read her to bed every Friday night." 'She hears that?!'
"YOU HEAR THAT?!" Ruby and I shout at the exact same time. Meanwhile Yang is laughing her sides off in the corner of the room. I promptly fling a pencil in her direction without looking, and am rewarded by a startled yelp from the bookcase. I never miss. Ever.
Author's Notes: This is the first 'Chapter' of my Monochrome series. I don't have a set release schedule, but unless something big happens, it won't be more than a week between releases. (Hopefully) Also, BACK with a massive revamp on my writing style. I've made several changes to my original writings, and I hope to be able to actually write over these next few months.
