"Yang! Yang!" A small black haired girl called. She seemed to be around 10 years old. Carrying a large hard bound book and had a small backpack. She had short curly hair, a dark purple bandanna covered her head. Wearing a fit turtle neck shirt, white long shorts and black shoes. She ran to the friend she was calling out to.
"Huh, B-blake?" Yang responded, another girl who was around the same age as Blake. This one had long blonde and unruly hair. An orange scarf was wrapped around her neck and shoulders, as it was too big. Wearing a yellow and white baseball top and brown shorts and shoes, she was sitting by a tree, tending what looks to be a cut on her left knee, which Blake noticed and stopped short of the Blonde. "Uhm... It's not what it looks like?"
Blake dropped her book and knelled next to Yang, examining the wound. "What did I tell you about fighting...!?" She said, concerning lacing ger voice.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Yang says, "I just tripped."
"I don't believe you." Blake said flatly, she took her backpack off and rummage through the things in it, bringing out a small first aid kid.
"That hurts." Yang says, clutching her chest. "You don't believe in your own best friend." She pouted.
"Sit still please." Blake says as she starts treating the wound. Yang does as the black haired girl says. When the blonde was finally all bandaged up, Blake walked back to her dropped book and picked it up. "I told you not to get into trouble any more..."
"I didn't fight with anyone! I promise Blake!" Yang said as she raised both of her hands up in surrender. "I cross my heart."
Blake walked back to Yang with a small pout on her face. "Really?"
"I would never lie to you Blakey!" Yang smiled softly. Blake nodded,
"Okay... I believe you..." Blake said as she sat down in between Yang's legs. "So tell me, what happened."
"I uhmm..." Yang scratched her head, "I was getting you something..."
Blake looked back at Yang with a smile on her face. "Really?"
Yang looked away, trying to hide her blush, "Y-yeah..."
"aww, that's so sweet Yang..." Blake cooed and leaned back against Yang. Despite being smaller, Yang liked to play big and tough so Blake let her... Sometimes. "What did 'ya get me?"
Yang looked back at Blake and said, "Close your eyes." Blake did as she was told. "Don't open them for anything, alright?" Blake nodded. She trusted Yang with all her heart. The blonde proceeded to take off Blake's bandanna, which startled the raven haired girl, but she still did not open her eyes. Yang knew why Blake wore the bandanna, it was to hide the fact that she was half fauna. Faunas were looked down upon in their society but Yang couldn't care any less about it. Blake was her friend and she actually found the fauna part of Blake to be extremely cute.
Yang put the bandanna down and reached into her pocket and produced a black bow. She gingerly touched Blake's cat-fauna ears, making the other girl twitch a bit. She then placed the bow over the ears. It was special kind of bow that Yang had found. You can use it to hide ears. A Fauna merchant was selling them and Yang worked her butt off to get the money for it. The Fauna Merchant also gave her a discount, finding it very honourable for a human to care for a fauna.
She finished placing it Blake's head and looked at her work. She looks nice. Yang commented in her head. She then took Blake's bag and took out a mirror, placing it in front of Blake, she said.
"You can open your eyes now."
Blake opened them and when she did she was speechless.
"It's more comfy that way right?" Yang asked, she was a little nervous. "I mean, it's better than binding down your ears with a bandana... hehe... right?"
Blake held the mirror with her own hands and examined the present she was given.
"C'mon Blakey, say something..." Yang prompted.
Blake held back a choke as she smiled and tears gather at the corner of her eyes.
"Oh! Oh, you don't like it!? It's okay, I can take it off!" Yang panicked as she reached for the bow but was stopped by Blake's hands capturing her wrists.
"I love it..." Blake whispered. "Thank you Yang..." The fauna said as she pulled down the other girl into a hug. Yang relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God... I thought you didn't like it." Yang grinned as she hugged her friend back. Finally releasing the smaller girl, Blake smiled softly at Yang.
"I really do love it." Blake said.
"I knew you would." Yang said as she crossed her arms while sitting back in front of Blake. The fauna cocked her brow. "Eventually..."
Blake laughed and then stared at the purple bandanna on the ground. She reached it and then sat down in front if Yang, she then proceeded to tie the bandanna on Yang's left knee.
"I don't have anything to give you, but I've had this with me for the longest time. It's like a part of me now." Blake said. "Please take care of it."
Yang touched the bandanna she was given and smiled a goofy smile at Blake, "Of course I will! I'll keep it with me always!"
"Always?" Blake asked.
"Always!" Yang grinned.
*Boop*
*Boop*
*Boop*
A groggy voice was heard as a hand shot out from under the covers and shut off the alarms clock. A head of dishevelled blonde hair came up next and snarled at the small clock that woke her up. "It's supposed to be a freaking sunday... why is my alarm clock on?"
"Yang!" A shrill voice reached the blonde's ears.
"Oh yeah..." She muttered to herself and braced for impact.
Something, or rather, someone had crashed into the Blonde's bed and began wriggling their way up to the Blonde.
"Wake up! Wake up!" A 12 year old grinned up at her. This 12 year old had dark red hair and silver eyes, she also had the cutest puppy smile.
"I'm awake! Sheesh!" Yang grinned down at her little sister. Well, she considered the girl her little sister. "You need to lay off the sugar Ruby."
"Don't wanna." Ruby smiled. "C'mon! You said we were going to the Amusement Park today!"
"Yeah yeah..." Yang said and threw the covers off of them. "Go get changed in your room and I'll be out in a second."
"Yay!" Ruby cheered and ran out of Yang's room.
The blonde swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stared at the pictures on her night stand. One was of her and Ruby and the other was from 12 years ago. It was of her and her old friend Blake.
It's been so long... I wonder how she's been. Yang thought before finally standing up and doing some minor stretching. She then walked to her bathroom and took a quick shower before getting dressed in a plain black shirt, brown cargo shorts, boots, and a yellow and white varsity jacket. She dressed casual and comfortable since they were only going to have fun today.
Before leaving the room, Yang went over to her night stand and took out a purple bandanna, smiling at it longingly, she tied it to her left knee and patted it.
"I'm ready!" Ruby grinned as she barged into the room once again. The ten year old girl was wearing a red hooded jacket over a black shirt, she also had on black pants and red converse. "Let's go, let's go!" Ruby said as she tugged on Yang's hand.
"Hey! Calm down will 'ya?" Yang said. "We still need to eat breakfast!"
"All we need is cookies and milk!"
"Ah-uh." Yang disagreed. "We're having a nice big breakfast so we have energy for all the running around I'm sure we're doing later."
"Fiiine...!" Ruby huffed. Yang rubbed the top of the girl's head.
"C'mon Rubes." Yang said as she walked out. The red headed girl happily skipped behind her.
-(Later)-
Yang shut off the engine to her beloved motorcycle. She kicked the stand up and got off, removing her helmet and locking it in place. Ruby got off next with the help of Yang and also locked her helmet on with the bike. Ruby looked extremely excited, bouncing up and down and biting her lower lip she waited for Yang to gather her things and as soon as she did she was dragging the blonde off to the entrance.
Going on every ride they could, Ruby dragged Yang everywhere and soon enough the 12 year old got tired and decided they sit down and eat some ice cream.
"Here you go little sister." Yang said as she handed Ruby her Choco Mint Ice cream.
"Thaaaanks!" Ruby smiled as she took her ice cream and began eating it.
"Hey, slow down. The Ice cream's not going anywhere." Yang said and so Ruby began eating at a slower pace.
Sitting around, Yang finally got a good look of the amusement park. It was just like any other amusement park really, rides and booths here and there. There was a fair amount of people in the place. She looked down beside her and saw that her little sister was unusually quiet. It seemed something had piqued the red headed girl's interest. Yang followed Ruby's gaze and she saw that her little sister was gawking at a white haired girl.
The white haired girl was wearing a light blue summer dress and a white jacket, with white boots to finish off her look. The white haired girl had a weird way of tying her hair for her pony tail was sideways. Not that Yang would object. It looked nice on her. She looked about, 14.
"See something you like there, Rubes?" Yang teased. Ruby was brought out of her fantasy to look back at her older sister.
"M-Maybe?" Ruby answered, she looked down, trying to fight a blush, "She's really pretty."
Yang laughed and patted Ruby on the back, "Aren't you too young for this kind of stuff?"
Ruby merely pouted and stuck her tongue out at Yang.
"That just proves my point Rubes." Yang said as she bopped Ruby's nose with her finger. Ruby goes back to the white haired girl and so does Yang, but what she sees isn't the white haired girl, rather the girl now next to the white haired girl.
She was a dark haired woman wearing a white and black checkered button up shirt, black pants, and black converse. But what stood out most off all for Yang was the black bow atop her head.
"No way..." Yang breathed. The blonde stood up, "C'mon Ruby, we're talking to them." She said.
"W-what!?" Ruby asked, shocked. "N-No way!"
"C'mon!" Yang smiled as she dragged her sister towards the White and Black haired girls.
"I'm just saying that we could've gone to a museum or something..." The white haired girl said to the raven haired girl.
"Sometimes it's nice to have a change of pace, Weiss."
"Hello there miss..." Yang says, "That's a nice bow you got there. I knew you'd like it eventually."
The black haired girl stiffens. Weiss, the white haired girl, raised her brow and crossed her arms.
"Excuse me? Are you hitting on Blake?" Weiss asked.
"Yang what are you doing!?" Ruby asked.
"Yang?" Blake asked when she turned around, her golden eyes meeting lilac ones.
"Blakey!" Yang grinned and wrapped the raven haired girl in a crushing hug. Blake hugged back, not believing what was happening. The fauna pushed back and examined Yang's face.
"It's really you..." Blake whispered and hugged the blonde close once again. "It's really you...!"
"Hey! You're that lady in Yang's picture!" Ruby pointed out with a smile.
"Tch." Weiss stomped her foot and glared at the adults. "You have some explaining to do." She told the black haired girl. Blake released Yang but kept one arm around her.
"Weiss..." Blake began. "This is Yang. She's my childhood best friend. We were at the orphanage together." Blake looked at Yang with a longing smile. "She was my everything back then..."
"Aww, just back then?" Yang teased.
Blake rolled her eyes. "Yang, this is Weiss. She's my... uhm... sister I guess."
"Oh, so you got into a pretty nice family I guess?" Yang asked.
"I did." Blake said. "So who's this you got here?" Blake asked mentioning Ruby who was hiding behind Yang while watching Weiss carefully.
"Oh!" Yang grinned and pulled Ruby out from behind her. "This is Ruby! She's my little sister, ain't that right Rubes?" Yang teased as she head locked Ruby and rubbed the top of her head.
"Stop it Yang!" Ruby pouted. Yang released her sister and smiled.
"Hey Ruby look! They're selling giant cookies!" Yang pointed over to one stand.
"Cookies!"
"Here's some money, go and buy some."
"Yay!" Ruby ran for the cookies.
"Hey Weiss, mind looking after her for a while?" Yang asked the 14 year old with a small pleading smile.
Weiss cocked her brow as if to say, who are you to tell me what to do? But then Blake spoke up.
"Yes Weiss. Please look after her, for the moment. I'd like to catch up with Yang." Blake said as she locked arms with the blonde. Weiss rolled her eyes and stomped on after the red headed girl.
Yang grinned and lead Blake to a nearby bench. "So how have you been?"
"It's been great really." Blake said. "What about you? When did you get adopted?"
Yang scratched the back of her head. "I wasn't that far behind you actually. About a week after you did."
"What, really?" Blake blinked. "But Yang... I was wondering... Why didn't you contact me? You received my letter didn't you? My new address and everything?"
Yang sighed, she knew that question was coming. "I... I couldn't." The blonde said as she looked away.
"Why?"
"It... I... I wasn't adopted to a normal family. I got taken by some scientists for some project..."
Blake gasped, "No, Yang... what happened? Did they hurt you?"
"Ah, no no." Yang smiled. It was forced but she was good at faking smiles. "It wasn't much. Just a little test here and there. I met Ruby there, then after the project we got taken in by a man name Qrow. Best uncle you could ever have."
"What was the project about?" Blake inquired.
"I... I can't... say." Yang said rubbing the back of her neck. "But hey! What about you? You got a little sister. That's cool."
"Well, I guess." Blake said, "How I got her, wasn't so cool though."
"What happened?"
"The family that adopted me and her family were friends, but uhmm.. one night during a party, they got murdered, brutally. Weiss survived with only that scar on her left eye. We adopted her then."
"Whoa..." Yang looked across from them, where Ruby seemed to have warmed up to Weiss and was talking her ear off, while Weiss stood there and tried to ignore the 12 year old girl. "That's pretty hard."
"It was, but we're past it." Blake smiled.
"That... That's nice." Yang smiled. "So I was hoping we could, you know, hang out some time?"
"I'd like that." Blake admits as she smiles at Yang. "How about at my place, tomorrow?"
"Oh..." Yang smile faltered, "I can't tomorrow." She pouts. "I have to teach a class-"
"You teach!?" Blake asked, that took her by surprise.
"Yeah, a hand-to-hand combat class." Yang grinned.
"Well, I can actually see that now." Blake said as she shook her head. "What did I tell you about fighting?"
"I don't actually fight...!" Yang defended. "I teach people how to fight. There's a difference... sorta."
"Alright, I'm letting it slide. For now." Blake said and Yang grinned goofily at her. "So when are you free?"
"I guess Wednesday would be a good day." Yang said.
"Alright, Wednesday it is." Blake said.
Yang grinned, "Well, enough catching up. We have little sisters to attend to." She said and grabbed Blake's hand and dragged her off to their sisters.
Blake smiled and followed.
Just like old times.
-(Later)-
Yang carried Ruby up to her room, changed her clothes and tucked her in bed. She smiled at her little sister. She bent down and kissed her goodnight before going into her own room. She changed into her night clothes and looked in the mirror. She simply stared at herself, looking deep into her lilac eyes. Thinking of one thing and one thing only.
Blake can never know.
With this thought her lilac eyes turned a burning red and the temperature in the room rose. Yang grit her teeth and forced herself to calm down.
You should be happy. A voice said
You saw her again before... The voice in her head told her.
I know! She cut it off. But I wish I didn't. It would've been better off she didn't see me again.
Because you're-
Excatly! She'll only get hurt.
There's still time.
No. I already accepted my fate.
What will happen to Ruby when you-
I'll find a way...
WHEN!? YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA DROP DEAD!
Yang snarled and moved to punch the mirror, only stopping because of the though that she might burn the house down.
"I won't die until I save Ruby..." Yang said. She moved to her drawers and brought out some pills. Popping one in her mouth, she swallowed it dry. "I will save her."
Hey ho! So yeah, this is my very first RWBY long fic.
It's obviously AU. It won't be that long. Possibly 5 chapters. Definitely won't pass 10 chapters. Although I will try to keep the word count for each chapter to be at least 3k words.
So yeah, tell me what you think of it so far.
Next Time: More Catching up and a call from the past. But who's past?
Please leave a review/comment!
Ciao~
