Chapter 3 An Offer
A/N 1567. That is how many view we are up to now. That is over double what this story had last time. Thank you very, very much is all I can say to everyone of you. I know you probably read things like this a lot, but seeing the numbers is what gets me to make a new chapter. So once again thank you.
After the family bonding was done, Ruby was told the extent of her injuries. She had been out for three days. She had moderate blood loss and several broken bones. The cuts had healed smoothly thanks to her Aura so there would be no scaring. The doctors said everything looked good and with rest she would be back to normal in under a month. Although they wanted Ruby to stay another day to have to a final checkup before leaving. They also wanted her use a wheelchair for at least a week.
As they exited the hospital Ruby thought of the events that lead her there in the first.
"Hey dad?"
"Yes sweetie"
"What happened to the person who saved me? I want to thank them."
Just as her father was about to answer a voice she didn't recognize called out.
"Hey there, nice to see you out of the hospital. You gave me a big scare when I found you in that cleaning"
Ruby look to the voice and saw, who she guess was her savior. He was a young, in his early twenties, with tan skin and steel colored hair. However his eyes stood out the most. They were similar to her eyes but slightly different. Hers were deep silver, like her mom's, his were a cold steel. In his eyes Ruby could see he had been thought many thing but still had a spark of warmth that put her at ease.
"Hello, I am Ruby Rose. Thank you for saving. I…I wasn't do that well that day…." Ruby trailed off rubbing her neck.
The man gave a lighthearted chuckle "I need no thanks, but you are very welcomed, I just did what anyone with the power the help should do"
He saw Ruby look down when he mentioned power to help. He mentally hit himself. Her father talk to him after she woke up. He wanted to know how she was doing. Taiyang gave him a brief summary of what lead up Ruby being in the clearing. When he heard it the thing that stood out the most was the weird dreams Ruby had been having.
To him they were not weird. They were just like the ones he had when he was her age. He told Taiyang as much saying he might be able to help Ruby find her Semblance. Key word might. The man was understandably hesitant at first, but after giving him demonstration he was more then will to get help for his daughter.
He decided he come forward "I know this seem sudden, but if you want I might be able to help you find and train your Semblance. Your dad told me about the problem you been have and it reminds me of myself when I was your age. I had a similar problem."
Ruby sat there with her eyes wide. Help? With finding her Semblance!?
"Wha... What do you mean?" Ruby could barely breathe, let alone talk.
"It has to do with the dreams your father said you been have. I believe you have the power to shape your Aura into any weapon you have seen and fight with a high percentage of the original owner's skill." The man informed her
"…" Ruby mind was going a mile a minute. Any weapon. Near perfect replication of skill. If what he said was true she could do what she did in her dreamscape. A smile formed on her face, blinking her eyes to fight the tears that threaten to fall. She could finally start training to be like her mom, a hero.
"So what do you say? When you're all better we can start training. We can do behind your house so you're near your family in case something goes wrong. Although I highly doubt something bad will happen"
"Yes, please help me. But can I ask you something first"
The man gave her a small smile "Sure, go head"
"Can you please tell me your name?"
The man was silent for a moment and Ruby feared she may have gone a little too far. She was about to apologize when he spoke up.
"You can call me… Emiya"
A/N Sorry for a shorter chapter, I really couldn't think of a way to expand without starting the training. There will be a time skip next chapter. Ruby will be starting Beacon next time. I will cover the training at a later time when Ruby explains her Semblance to her team. She will still her Sweetheart. Ruby wouldn't be Ruby without her or him. Has Ruby ever called Crescent Rose a specificgender? Anyway do the stuff you wonder ladies and gentlemen do best and leave a favorite, follow and review. Until next.
