Chapter 6: A Lighter Side
Due to the fact it was a public holiday no school was on and the people in the RWBY dorm had no intentions on moving in the early Tuesday sun shining through the window. Ruby and Weiss lay down and talked softly as not to wake Sanguine who was still asleep because he didn't get home till around four in the morning. Yang was awake reading one of Blake's 'Ninjas of Love' novels which she thought she kept well hidden. Which leaves Blake who was on the verge of falling of the bed in a deep sleep… correction she is now on the floor.
Once she fell she spun around and landed on her hands and feet but in so she moved over a bit and would have landed on Sanguine who just in time slipped out from under and readied his weapon in on single step ready to fight.
"It's okay there sport kitty cat just fell out of bed." Yang said trying to get Sanguine to put his weapon down. Snapping Weiss and Ruby out of their little own world. "What happened and why is he ready to kill Blake?" Ruby asked softly and trying to help Yang in calming down Sanguine.
Sanguine instantly snapped out of his thoughts seeing the concerned looks his parents are giving him, "I'm sorry. Blake I didn't hurt you did I? It is just from all the people I had after me and that stupid deer Faunus that despised you and by extension me." Sanguine said stepping back and putting his weapon in its compact form.
"No I am fine and I don't even know why that bitch hated me." Blake said as she stood up trying to reassure him and calm him down fearing any negative reaction would be sparked and they would need to subdue him again. "I'm sorry… It is just I have been almost killed in my sleep a few times… most of which was Artemis' doing." Sanguine said sitting down as far as he could from Blake as not to offend her… he did just almost kill her after all.
"YANG WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!" Blake shouted already forgiving and forgetting the incident but Sanguine didn't. "It isn't hard to figure out your locker password. It is after all 'Yang is the light of my world.'" Yang says with a massive grin at Blake's forming blush as she jumped to try and steal the book back. They got into a small wrestling match over the book until Blake managed to stay on top and bend down to give Yang a kiss.
Meanwhile on the other side of the room Weiss just looked at Sanguine's left eye with Ruby holding up his hair. "So is that actually true what you said you inherited that from me? I would have asked yesterday but the only time we caught you it was right before you left." Weiss said still amazed by the eye.
"Yes it is but it comes at a great price which I doubt you paid," Sanguine started as he pulled his mom's hands away from his hair. "It takes your sight away from the eye, when I unlocked it I was four and since then my sight in the eye has gone down to about two percent visibility on the physical realm but I can see auras with it easily." Sanguine finished as he laid back on the bed staring at the celling.
"That is soo cool!" Ruby chimed in pulling Sanguine's head onto her lap so she could stroke his hair. "Ruby what is your fascination with hair?" Weiss asked getting up to get ready for the day of no work. "It isn't any hair… I like the colour of white in hair but this also has a nice fade from my hair!" Ruby said pouting and feigning hurt.
"That explains a lot mom but I don't like it because it was the only thing I could keep of my person and it wasn't burned or stabbed or… well, I will let you assume what else I have suffered." Sanguine said pulling his head away from her for her to pull his head back down into her lap.
"Blake I forgot to ask how are you feeling? After class you looked kind of pissed at me… but in my defence I gave you guys the chose." Sanguine asked continuing to get up futilely but he did break up Yang and Blake.
"That was the single worst thing possible that has happened to me." She said glaring at Sanguine. "Yeah I was meaning to ask but How did you not lose it when they used type one E-X-50 on you?" Weiss said sticking her head back into the room.
"When someone has murdered your loved ones in front of you then we will talk about how physical pain is nothing." Sanguine said earning a laugh from Weiss. "If they killed Father and Mother I would gladly send them a gift basket with some wine." Weiss said in between a fit of laughter.
"Grandpa Schnee was always nice but I can agree with you Grandma Schnee was somewhat an awful person. It proves that old saying behind every strong man there is a stronger woman." Sanguine said finally managing to get away from Ruby.
"No one will let me stroke their hair not my girlfriend and not my son… woe is me." Ruby said adding theatrics at the end of her statement. "Well Ruby we did plan to go into Vale today remember so get up," Weiss said shouting through the door. "And Sanguine you are coming too. You do need more than one outfit." She finished earning a snicker from Ruby and Yang. Sanguine thought for a minute he had two ways to deal with this, way one he would yell at them or way two take the five year olds way out. The latter won and he stuck his tongue out at them.
Weiss walked in and saw what was happening and flicked Yang on the head, "Don't bully my son. And Ruby I swear I won't kiss you for all the time we are in town now." Weiss said walking over and hugged Sanguine, who gave his best version of crocodile tears. "They were mean and called me names like mama's boy." Sanguine said causing Weiss to pull back and look at him. "Aren't you?" Weiss asked, "Well yeah but that doesn't make the comments hurt less." Sanguine said giving off a very distinct pout.
"You look just like Ruby." Blake said finally managing to get the book from Yang and hid it for the moment. "Well he is my son." Ruby said giving a pout in return as she walked to get changed. After a few minutes she finally emerged from the bathroom fully dressed and Sanguine in the meantime picked up and adorned his cloak. "Mind if I ask but what is it with the Roses and that type of Cloak?" Weiss asked fully curious because whenever she asked Ruby she clammed up shutdown.
"Well mom's is was her mother's and mine it was the last thing you and mom gave me before… well you know." Sanguine said walking to the door. Ruby turned around and asked "Are you guys going to come sometime today or should we stay out a while?"
"Could you Rubes?" Yang asked in return before Blake hit her in the ribs playfully. "No we will join you later around one." Blake said as Yang tried to feint hurt from Blake's hit. Sanguine turned around at that comment. "Blake, Rattus well be around so be very careful. For my plan to work Adam still needs to think you are dead for a few more days." Sanguine said sternly.
"I'm aware and I will be, don't worry. But I want you to promise me you will take me with you when you get Artemis. I have a lot of pent up hate against her." Blake said as she pushed Yang off of her. "I will try to make that happen but her final day is supposed to be Thursday… or that is what Adam will think but in reality it is Sunday and I won't tolerate tardiness or truancy during my class." Sanguine said the last bit with a slight tone of sarcasm.
With that they left the room to begin a trip into Vale. It was a short trip not as short as it would be if Sanguine was to go by himself but he wouldn't trust someone who was inexperienced at parkour to jump off a cliff near some buildings. Especially his own mothers, landing strategies or not.
Once they arrived at Vale Weiss instantly dragged them into a shop and instantly began shopping for clothes. Neither sanguine or Ruby wanted to be there at that moment but neither could leave for fear of bringing Weiss' wrath. "Does she stay like this in the future?" Ruby asked in a hushed whisper.
"I don't know we always stayed home and she would go shopping for us. But when she did take use she would buy us strawberries and cookies to keep us occupied." Sanguine answered in just a hushed voice. As they talked Weiss ran over, "I forgot to ask you what are your sizes." Weiss asked running over with an arm full of clothes most likely for Ruby.
"I'm not a hundred percent sure myself because you know being hunted because I have killed a lot of White Fang members to pay attention to what size pants I wear." Sanguine said stepping back once he saw the gleam in her eyes meaning a shopping spree.
After an hour of shopping they sat outside a bakery enjoying the sunshine… well Weiss and Ruby was, Sanguine sat pouting with some cookies in front of him. Until he noticed a similar aura outside the corner of his eye, "Guys don't look shocked but Corvus and Lupin are passing by in about two minutes, stay calm." Sanguine said to them in a hushed whisper.
Weiss and Ruby just looked shocked and looked around franticly to see the faces of who Sanguine plans to kill. Sanguine quickly diverted their attention towards him as he kicked their shins lightly under the table just enough to disrupt their auras but not enough to injure them. Lupin and Corvus passed muttering only those who were untrained or wasn't Faunus couldn't hear, luckily for them or at least unluckily the only one to slip outside that category was Sanguine who listened with great care.
"I'm telling you his head was off and the guards at the door dead and standing straight up… he left a note for all to see saying who he is after next which is you Corvus, be careful I'm not sure Yoru would let me off if something happened to you." A tall man with short grey hair hiding a pair of grey ears almost snarled at the other person, being a woman with raven black hair hiding a few feathers but her most distinctive feature would be her eyes. They were gold but had the look of a predator to them… almost chilling looking into them.
"Well tell your brother to shut up and worry about himself because how this person has been getting in undetected is similar to his semblance and if Adam thinks he is a traitor that killed Blake he best put his legs to running fast. Hopefully he can out run an angry bull." The Woman said back as they passed outside Sanguine's hearing range.
"What was that about!" Weiss said kicking Sanguine in the shins back but unlike him she didn't hold back. "If you two didn't look obvious like you were looking for someone I wouldn't have done that but they passed just then." Sanguine spoke calmly in a chilling manner that caused even Weiss to shiver at the thought.
"You mean the puppy looking guy and that cold bitch?" Ruby asked trying to defuse the situation brewing. "Yes and Corvus has figured out how I have been getting past their security. Hmph. She is pretty perceptive. I may need to head out tonight again I can't let her live too long because she found out." Sanguine again coldly said almost like he wasn't planning a murder but the people at the table knew better.
Blake walked up fast and tapped Sanguine on the shoulder "Did you hear them just there?" She sounded out of breath like she just ran so she could stay within ear shot of them but outside theirs. "Yes and Corvus may not live to see the sunrise again. On a brighter note I got some tasty cookies. Want one?" Sanguine asked causing a glare from Blake.
"You just talked about killing an old… acquaintance and then offer me a cookie. That kind of talk has gotten people killed before." Blake said trying to sound terrifying but failing because she was more so worried for Corvus' life because Blake heard the full conversation… more than Sanguine had picked up on… More than he is letting the others know about.
"Yes and I know I have been sent to kill people before under Adam's orders for much less, but you didn't answer my question." Sanguine again said so calmly that it was chilling. "No I don't want a cookie, but we need to get back because if they are here that means Rattus is as well and he isn't as easy to avoid." Blake said trying to usher them towards the door fast.
Once they got by the airship they met up with Yang along the way so they could return fast. "Blake, why if they are here would we go back to the school?" Yang asked without her trade mark smirk sprawled a crossed her face. "Because no one is dumb enough for any reason to enter in there with malice because Ozpin would kill them before they knew what hit them and unlike me it wouldn't be a clean death more so agonisingly slow." Sanguine answered before Blake could respond to Yang's question. Earning a nod from Blake in return, showing that what he said was true.
