"Miss Belladonna we will be arriving at the coordinates soon. Are you sure these are the right coordinates?"
"Yes and its Blake, Carol."
"But! Miss Bell- I mean bbb…Blake" a hiss from Blake caused Carol to stutter. "There's no place for me to land! Nor any place for people to live in for miles!" she shouted out as she took her eyes off the sky to face Blake. "Are you really going home?"
"Open the hatch." Blake had traded out her usual Head Security Uniform for a sleeveless ninja garb. She kept her black scarf around her neck and her ribbons peeked out from under the black steel forearm guards she had on. She also wore a black drawstring knapsack. Unable to attach Gambol Shroud to the knapsack, she secured the weapon on the black obi she wore around her waist in a horizontal fashion. The hilt of her weapon stuck out to the left. The sash worked just like her backpack she carried around when she attended Beacon.
"Miss Belladonna! You don't mean to-!"
"Don't worry, I have a landing strategy!" With one last check up to make sure everything was strapped on tightly, Blake informed the Carol to wait for her in Vacuo. With one last thanks, Blake dove into the forest.
Blake's decent into the Hyokuro forest was different from the initiation trial at Beacon. Instead of using Gambol Shroud to swing around like Tarzan, she used her semblance. Calling forth a multitude of clones, she used them as stepping-stones till she reached the canopy. The concept is similar to Weiss's air steps. She couldn't do this before because her clones were just mere images, but now she had learned to combine her aura and semblance allowing her to create solid shadow clones.
Upon reaching the emergent layer, Blake took a brief looked around before determining the way she had to go. Once she found what she was looking for, she made her way into the understory layer and sprinted across the tree branches in the direction she had picked. The forest life was not disturbed as she traveled through the forest, hopping from one branch to another.
Looks the same after all these years…something I wish I could say… it's gotten larger, much larger since I've last been here. Blake was now perched on a tree branch looking down on a large village backed up to a mountain wall encased by stone walls with three wooden gates. She was looking over the south gate. One would wonder how they couldn't see the village from the sky, but her village is called a hidden village for a reason. The massive trees surrounding the village block the view of the village from being seen from any direction. Though the foliage was not thick enough so that sunlight cannot pass through. At night the moonlight seems to cast the foliage that protects the village away. Giving the village a perfect view of the moon and stars. This is Blake's home, Koriwagakure no Sato the hidden village under the moon.
Hmm… I arrived earlier than expected. Thought Blake as she looked up into the foliage. The sun was still high in the sky. Think I'll take a cat nap. Ugh… Yang has rubbed off me. Hmm… I wonder how she is. Think I'll skip the nap and grab something to eat. With her thoughts focused on her beloved, Blake sneaked into the village looking for something worth buying. She needed it to be nightfall before she can initiate her attack and it was only a little after noon.
Strolling through the market, many villagers - humans and Faunus alike, called out to Blake. When she turned to ask if they were calling for her, many said a quick sorry and rushed off. While a handful told her they had mistaken her their precious little prince. Little did they know they didn't mistaken her.
Faunus with golden eyes was a sign of pure blood. Having both ears and tails, is another trait. In the Faunus kingdom purebloods are considered royalty and Blake was one of them.
Blake may have looked like their little prince from behind, but with one look into her eyes, the villagers knew it wasn't her. For her eyes were shining bright aquamarine color. Her ears were poking out if her high pony-tailed tied hair with no tail in sight. Though there was the chance she could have kept it wrapped around her waist, but who would in a free of Faunus discrimination village? Not these villagers of course.
Finally finding something worth buying after a countless amount of stalls and interruptions, Blake decided to stop by one of her favorite sushi stalls to satisfy her hunger.
"Ah, welcome. Please take a seat anywhere you like." The chef said with his back facing Blake. He had heard the jingle of the door opening when she had entered. With a hum of acknowledgement, Blake opted for a seat at the bar. Knowing what she wanted already, she waited for the Chef to finished with what he was doing before she ordered.
Wiping his hands on the cloth wrapped around his waist, the chef turned around. "Sorry for the wait, now what can I - ! Ouji-sama?"
"I'm Sorry, but I think you got me mistaken for someone else. May I have a menu?" Though she knew what she wanted to order, asking for a menu make her look like she was new to the place.
"You already know what you want little kitty, you don't need a menu. You can't fool me. I was there for your birth ya know. Now give this old man a hug!" the Chef lifted the board that separated the bar and walked over to Blake with his arms wide open.
With an exasperated sigh, Blake closed her eyes and deeply inhaled the slowly breathed out. She opened her eyes once more to reveal her true lineage. The golden pools were filled with fear that softened into fondness as she flew into the old man's arm. "Okaeri. neko-kun" the chef said in a loving tone as he held Blake's waist with one arm and rubbed her ears with the other.
"Tadaima, oji-san." Blake smiled as she buried her face deeper into the old man's chest and hugged him tighter. Then a growl emanating from Blake's stomach ruined the moment.
"Ah you must be hungry my neko-chan! Let me make some food for you on the house!" With one last squeeze the chef released Blake and went back behind the bar.
"So...how have you been Kuronii-oujisama?"
"Well...I go by the name Blake Belladonna now. I graduated…" Blake spent the rest of her time catching up with the old man and eating sashimi before she put her plan into motion.
AN: Okay guys I think I had a bit too much fun from here on out. Well… just imagine everything that is spoken is in Japanese. Saving you guys the hassle of going to translate stuff on google by typing it in English! Yee~ Except for a few words, which I'm sure you should know by now if you watch enough anime… Now back to the story!
"Yoruichi-sama!" shouted a petite female who sported twin clothed braids with golden loops at the end, dressed in a sleeveless and backless black kimono with white haori with a homonka symbol that look like it was haphazardly put on . She had slid the shoji door open as fast as she slammed it shut. "We have an intruder in the kingdom! We think it's a group assassins with the rate the guards are falling."
Multiple blue dust bottles shattered as they were thrown into the air and manipulated into the sliding doors to enhance their durability. "We must hurry and get you to safety!" She gave the doors a solid punch to check if the dust worked properly. Satisfied with her work she turned around with a confused expression. She did not understand why her charge did not reply to her calling.
"Yoruichi-sama?" Like a deer in headlights the petite female's silver-grey eyes widen in horror, then darkened into steel grey as she viciously glared at the captor demanding the release of her charge. "Get your filthy hands off my king at once you you...you scoundrel!" She stuttered as her face turned red at the provocative sight before her eyes.
Yoruichi, gaged and bounded on the floor with her head pulled back with a slight tilt to view the new comer. Her facial expression was a cross between amused and pain. She was gaged with her own hair tie held in place by her captor's ribbon which bounded her in inappropriate places. Taking notice of the new comer, her tail unraveled from the captor's waist to swish in excitement as her ears perked in happiness.
The assassin, noticeably female, sat upon the small of Yoruichi's back, straddling Yoruichi to keep her from failing around. Her left arm extended to hold the captors left shoulder in place using it as leverage as her right hand-held the ribbons to tightly. If they could see her face, it would be filled with fascination. Sadly her headgear covered everything but her aquamarine eyes which shone with mirth.
Incoherent muffles form Yoruichi snapped the petite women out of her trance. She flashed right behind the intruder with her sword unsheathed. A black wakizashi blade with a golden hilt. Holding the blade in a reverse grip in her right hand, she pressed the blade along the neck of the intruder. Her left hand wrapped around the other side with her middle finger barely touching the tip of the blade, trapping the assassin in a loose headlock.
"Jinteki shakusetsu, Suzumebachi", whispered the woman as she slowly maneuvered her right hand forward, while her left hand ghosted on the blade towards the hilt. As her left hand passed over the blade, it broke off into sections just to readjust itself around the woman's forearm like an arm guard. Once the blade was gone, the hilt split open to reveal a golden stinger with a chain. The hilt compacted into an intricate rib like bracelet, which folded back onto the arm guard and snapped all the blade pieces together. The sword had just turned into an arm guard with a deadly stinger.
"Release her, or face the consequences." stated the petite female as she lowered her right arm towards the intruder's heart while tightening her left arm around the neck in a choke hold. With a mere poke of where the assassin's heart was, a homonka crest appeared. "Touching the homonka crest one more time will end your life, now release my King."
Relinquishing her hold on the ribbon the intruder held her hands up in an 'I surrender' pose. "Now tell me, are there anymore of you?" questioned the petite women. The captor shook her head. "None?" A nodded this time. "Who sent you?"
"No one."
"LIES, tell me who sent you to go after Yoruichi-sama!" She shouted as she unconsciously loosened her hold.
Not being able to keep it in anymore, the assassin broke free from the petite woman's hold just to trip over the foot of the King. She fell to the ground with one hand clutching her stomach and the other over her cloth covered mouth trying to stop the chuckling noises from coming out.
"What are you laughing at you scoundrel?!" screeched the petite woman as she kicked the intruder over just to point her weapon at her heart once more. Unfortunately for the poor petite woman, the intruder just laughed harder and louder now that her hand no longer covered her mouth.
"This is no laughing matter! Silence you before I have to silence you myself!" she was getting frustrated. Why on earth would someone be laughing when they had Suzumebachi pointed at their heart? How is this situation even funny? Her words only served to make the intruder shake harder with laughter. Maybe the assassin was lying and there are more of them. I can get rid of this one and interrogate the others. Getting fed up with the intruder, she raised her arm to strike once more. Her strike was stopped just a mere inch from the crest by a tanned hand. "Yoruichi-sama?"
"I can't believe this." The intruder choked out as she laughed even harder.
"Little bee, I think you'll regret it if I didn't stop you." Yoruichi had finally gotten out of bindings, and was holding on to her bodyguard's arm to prevent her from killing the laughing assassin.
"Why not Yoruichi-sama? This poor excuse of an assassin came for your head! She must be killed!"
"Look closer Soifon." Letting go of the arm, Yorichi moved to unveil the intruder. Once the headgear was removed and scarf pulled down, onyx hair spilled out as two cat ears perked up twitching in relief from not being flattened against the skull anymore and revealing a fanged smirk.
"Okay... So she's a Faunus...I still don't get it..." Soifon commented as she scrutinized the intruder's profile.
"I'm ashamed of you little bee!" Yoruichi chided, shaking her head. "Do you not recognize my little sister?"
Taking another glance over, Soifon's face scrunched up in confusion. "She does have the same facial structure...but her eyes! Her hair! Her skin! Shows no resemblance. She doesn't even have a tail!"
"Uhh... You sure about that?"
"Ye-eek" Soifon squealed and shot off the assassin as she felt something furry rub against her exposed waist. Identifying the offending appendage, she realized the black tail swishing lazily in the air, disappeared under the one fang poking out smirking assassin.
"Kuronii-oujisama?" A slight nod from the rising prince was the only conformation she got. "But but...-"
"Ah! That's right! Soi-bee you met Kuro-kun after she perfected her henge just like everyone else in the village." Stated Yoruichi as she pounded a fist to her open palm, when she recovered from her laughing fit caused by Soifon's squeak.
"Wait so...let me get this straight. You guys are telling me Kuronii-oujisama doesn't have ..." One of Soifon's eye examined Yoruchich's movement while the other was trained on the assassin as she slowly made her way over to Yoruichi. "Bronze sun kissed skin" a nod. "Deep majestic purple hair "Another nod. "Liquid gold for eyes" this time a shake of the head. "Huh?"
While the prince took a deep breath and closed her eyes, the King shivered. "My little bee, never get Kuro-kun mad. When she gets mad her eye color changes and scary things happen."
A chuckle cuts through the silence as the two love birds stared at the closed eyed prince. An evil smirk slowly spread across her face, causing them to back away in caution.
"Wah?" Courses the couple. The prince had opened her eyes to reveal liquid pools of gold.
"Actually, I can change my eye color at will now." The evil smirk changed into a sad smile after seeing how far away Yoruichi and Soifon was. Her tailed and ears dropped slightly, but it was enough for Yoruichi to notice.
Flashing right next to her beloved little sister, Yoruichi pulled Blake into a warm hug and motioned Soifon to do the same. "Welcome home Kuronii. Welcome home."
After the heartfelt reunion, Blake looked at her chest and smirk. "Soi-neechan, don't you think it's kind of greedy of you to claim both Shounin's, not that I mind and all." Letting out a purr of appreciation as she looked Soifon up and down.
Soifon looked at Blake in pure confusion, while Yoruichi's jaw was on the floor. "When did my bookworm turn into such a seductress?!"
Finally realizing what Blake head meant, Soifon's face flushed in embarrassment. "Great, now there's two nekos in the house" Soifon mumbled as she reverted Suzumebachi back into her wakizashi form, causing the homonka to disappear from Blake's chest.
A deep rumbling sounded right after the lady bit of the homonka disappeared.
"Dinner time?" Yoruichi said sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head, as the other two black haired beauties shook their heads.
"I see nothing much has change onee-sama. Let's have dinner." Blake smirked as Yoruichi's tail swished with excitement. The three women left room and headed towards the kitchen. Somehow, the mountain of unconscious guards outside the room went unnoticed by the three girls.
Dinner was a war between the two sisters. They both loved fish and so did the older sister's beloved. Blake fought for her own share, while Yoruichi fought for herself and her beloved little bee. Soifon didn't want to lose a hand in the cat fight, so she let her girlfriend do all the work. The war was pointless because there was a never ending supply of fish that kept on being served by the maids. Only conversation they had was how, Yoruichi title changed from Chief to King. The changed was because the village was no longer a tiny village, in fact it was almost 4 times bigger than what Blake had remembered it.
After the meal, the girls retired to the westernized living room. Yoruichi and Soifon settled for the loveseat with Yoruichi's head on Soifon's lap. Blake opted for the single chair nearest to the fireplace. The fire reminded her of Yang.
"So…Kuro-kun… where's your other half?" Yoruichi questioned as she purred in pleasure from Soifon's menstruations on her sore muscles she had obtained from scuffle she had with Blake.
Pureblooded Faunus were known as Royalty for a reason. Much like any other purebred races out there, they are immensely stronger. When a pureblooded Faunus reaches their age of maturity, they go through a transformation where a large amount of energy is release. Unfortunately, their bodies cannot sustain the amount of energy released. Thus at their birth, their counterpart was born somewhere in the Remnant in animal form. These counterparts are called Soul Animals, born to regulate their human counterpart's excess energy.
Pureblooded Faunus and their soul animal must find each other before it's too late. Without the animal counterpart a Faunus would either explode or go insane with power. Though the animal counterpart can still live without their Faunus partner.
Many fail to find their soul animals, allowing only a handful of purebloods alive throughout the world. Luckily for Blake and Yoruichi they found theirs early on. Yoruichi being the easier of the two to find because of its odd color.
"Kage." Blake quietly called out as she sat on the ground. A large black panther with glowing lilac eyes emerged from the shadows into the firelight. He prowled towards his master just to flop on his belly and curl around his master. The large cat purred in content as Blake scratched the base of his ears.
"Soi, Soi, Soi! Is it just me, or are Kages' eyes not amber?" Yoruichi questioned in excitement.
"Yoruichi-sa" Soi started to say but was interrupted by Yoruichi.
"Little bee, drop the formality already. You know how I don't like it." Yoruichi pouted.
"Sorry Yoruichi. It's a reflex and yes. Kage's eyes did change." Soi confirmed.
When a soul animal is born, they have their eye colors is the exact same as their masters. Once their master finds their true mate and confesses, the eye color of the soul animal will change into the color of the mate's.
"Say Kuro-chan… who's this gal?" Yoruichi sat up with mirth dancing in her eyes. "It can't be the heiress you hang around all the time, her eyes are blue…maybe it's that busty blonde on your team, she has lilac eyes… yes! It must be her! It is her isn't it?! My my, I gotta say you do have a thing for large boobies."
A blush slowly developed on Blake's face as she realized the reason why Yoruichi asked for her to call out Kage. "Yoruichi-oneesama!" Blake called out in embarrassment as she buried her face into Kage's scruff.
"So it is the busty blonde! When do I get to meet her? Can I threaten her? Oooo! What is she like? "Yoruichi ranted excitedly.
"Soi helllppp." Blake whined.
"Yoruichi." Soifon said sternly. Yoruichi instantly stopped ranting at the tone of her little bee's voice. Looking at Soifon, Yoruichi pulled out her abused kitty face, she really wanted to get some dirt on her little sister's love life. It been well over… some odd number of years since she last saw her anyway. "Fine, just two questions okay?" Soifon sighed as she couldn't resist Yoruichi's face. "Kuro, what is her name and when do we get to meet her?"
Yoruichi groaned. "But I already know her name. Yang Xiao Long." Blake glared at Soifon for her betrayal. Who can fault her, she wanted to meet Blake's lover too.
"That's Chinese for yellow little dragon right?" Soifon questioned.
"I don't know you tell me Soi. You're the Chinese one here. Yoruichi, you'll get to meet her as soon as we get to the topic I'm here to talk to you about." Blake answered.
"Hey sis! It seems as if we have the same taste in girls too!" Yoruichi stated with mirth dancing in her eyes. Silence filled the room as both Soifon and Blake rolled their eyes.
"Ne, Kuronii. Did you fulfill your thirst for knowledge?" Breaking the silence, Yoruichi asked in a low solemn voice laced with an unspoken question she had wanted am answer ever since her little sister thought it would be a great idea to try to 'assassinate' her.
Blake sighed dejectedly. "No." She knew she was going to be asked this question soon or later, better now than later.
Blake's real name is Kuronii Shihoin. The Shihoin born with a curse. Her hair should have been purple and her skin tanned just like the rest of the Shounin Clan birthed children. The curse gave her the looks she has now, her family didn't want the world to know so she was kept a hidden from sight till she master henge, the art of illusion.
Her curse caused her to crave knowledge. She wanted to learn about anything and everything. Her head was always in a book if she wasn't playing Yoruichi. History was the subject that fascinated her the most. She started her training in the ninja arts at the age of 4.
At the age of 6 she learned all she could from her senseis. From there she sought out Yoruichi and Soifon to help her master close combat fighting and reversed grip sword play respectively. She never mastered close combat fighting, because Yoruichi was constantly called away by the council to finish her chieftain training, but she did master the reversed grip sword play.
At age 12, she encountered Adam Taurus. A man, whom both Yoruichi and Soifon despised, for he was the one who robbed Blake of her innocence and got her into join the White Fang under the pretense of satisfying her thirst for knowledge. Adam taught her the way of dual wielding weapons, in which lead to the creation of Gambol Shroud.
At age 14, Adam had manipulated her into the perfect assassin. Forcing Yoruichi to expel her own blood from the village unless she strayed from the White Fang. Unfortunately at that time, her thirst clouded her judgment and she left with Adam.
Then we all know at age 17 she had defected from the White Fang. Adam had lied to her, he had used her, but she couldn't go home in fear him attacking her beloved family. It was then when she dropped the illusion she had held on for so many years. Kuronii died in front of Adam's eyes. Well...a carefully made clone with immense help from Kage, Blake staged 'Kuronii's' death and started anew under the name Blake Belladonna and staying true to her looks.
"But I am satisfied for the moment. I'm very sorry I put you through all that oneechan." Blake said softly as she began to tear up. It broke her heart every time she remembered the moment where her older sister had decreed her exile with a broken heart.
Yoruichi immediately got up from her spot to wrap her sister in a loving hug the moment Blake's ears drooped. "That's in the past now, all that matters now is that you are home and no longer affiliated with that horrid group of scoundrels."
Blake broke out into a full on sob, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I wanted to contact you earlier, but I was afraid you hated me, afraid they were going to use you against me. I'm so sorry oneechan."
"I'll never be able to hate you Blake, you're my beloved sister. No matter what you do I'll always love you. Besides it's my fault for not pushing you into the right direction. Don't be sorry, it's my fault too." Yoruichi started to tear up and tightened her hold on her beloved sister. She should have tried harder in persuading Blake to stray from that demon Adam instead letting the council immersed with her Chieftain studies.
At this point Soifon also got up to join the huddle. Surprised at the extra arms wrapped around her, Blake looked up at Soifon with teary eyes. "Soi?"
"I want to let you know it's also my fault. I should have known better, I should have stopped you when your sister couldn't. I was naive. Please forgive me Blake." Soifon answered Blake's unspoken question.
Unable to keep her emotions any longer Blake burst out in another set of sobs. "There's nothing to forgive, it wasn't your fault. It was my bad judgment. It's all my fault" Blake choked out.
Yoruichi and Soifon opted to stay quiet and only whisper soothing words to the sobbing kitten. It wasn't long till Blake cried herself to sleep from exhaustion and jet lag. She technically did go back in time by 16 hours. Giving her a time difference of 17 hours between her and Yang, and 18 with Weiss when she reaches Drachemund.
Blake did not wake till the next day in the late afternoon. Before she could check her scroll for any updates, Yoruichi barged into her room while riding on Kage's back declaring a play date with her long lost beloved little sister. Soifon rode Susanoo, a purple panther slightly larger than Kage with grey eyes, also known as Yorichi's other half.
Unfortunately for Blake… or well rather unfortunate for Weiss, Blake's scroll chimed shortly after Yoruichi whisked her away. Weiss's scroll was no longer functioning. Weiss's rescue squad will have to lie in the hands of Yang this time around.
Not too long later, during a game of tag. Blake sneezed.
Yes both Yoruichi and Blake are female with male titles. Just cuz they're so manly.
Just to clear up any confusion, Koriwagakure no Sato (Blake's Home) is found within the vast Hyokuro Forest.
