RWBY: The Black Swordsman Chapter 6

: Italic = thoughts.

About an hour had passed since Qrow left and team RNJR sat down next and started to prepare lunch when they heard a groan behind them.

Guts slowly opened his eye and saw the redhead from before run towards him with Puck flying behind her.

"Oh your awake, oh no you´re still hurt, i´m sorry about my uncle, can I get you something" she rambled until I put one hand over her mouth.

She tried to help him up only for him to flinch "DON`T TOUCH ME!" he yelled as he raised his arm to punch her.

"Hey what´s your deal, she just wanted to help!" Jaune said as he pointed to Ruby.

"No Jaune, really it´s fine" He probably has his reasons she finished silently as she watched Guts try to get to his feet.

Ruby slowly walked up to him again and asked "are you sure you are alright to move? We checked you for injuries and there was quite a few."

"Where are my stuff?" he asked in an annoyed tone as he looked around at the rest of the team. Ren was quick to defuse the situation

"Your belongings are fine, we will return them to you when you have answered our questions so sit down."

"Don´t give that crap where are they...AGHH!" he growled in pain as he grabbed his side.

"See you will reopen your wounds"Ruby scolded as she rushed through the camp to make sure he wasn´t injured.

"Let me see? Your wounds haven´t fully healed yet shouldn´t your aura fixed your wounds by now?"

Guts face formed a twisted grin, but Ruby couldn´t figure out whether if it was from pain or not as he slowly sat down and looked at the group.

"Fine it´s not like there is anything I can do so I´ll play along ask away"

there was a long silence until Jaune gathered enough courage to speak "Ok first question why did you kidnap Ruby?"

"..." No answer, Guts simply stared at the boy until a dark chuckle escaped his lips which soon evolved into full blown laughter.

"HA HA HAHA! Of all the things you could ask that´s the first, pathetic couldn´t you figure it out? I needed a way to escape and the girl was perfect for the job"

"So she was just a tool?"

"Thats right, now you should let me go before something bad happen"

"What do you mean?"

I´m always hunted by Grimm and far worse beings then you will ever see in your pathetic life so if you want to survive in this world then it would be best if you leave.

Team RNJR flinched at his aggresive tone but still didn´t show any plans to walk away.

"Sorry can´t do that your too dangerous to be allowed to walk around freely and you need medical attention" Ruby pleaded, ignoring the death glare from the black swordsman.

"Hey Guts stop being such a party pooper they seem nice and way better company for you the the demons or grimm lighten up" Puck also added as he flew in front of Guts and started to poke his cheek.

Guts rose to his full height and walked over the camp shrugging of the pain and cries from team RNJR. His eye landed on something black sticking out of the bushes, his sword.

He quickly walked over to it only to be stopped by Jaune grabbing his arm " You can´t leave yet!" he growled a look of determination glowed in his eyes, this however didn´t stop Guts as he with a quick punch to the the stomach sent him flying to the ground. "Get out of my way" Guts hissed as he grabbed his sword and placed it on his back. hiding it in a bush bloody idiots all of them, I´m suprised they aren´t dead already. he mutterd to himself as he walked away but stopped as he heard a howl in the distance.

"FUCK Grimm! I should have known they would find me" he thought as he grabbed Dragonslayer but it felt far to heavy in his hand. "I´m too weak to properly use it right now"

"Grimm!" Ruby shouted as she unfolded her scythe and looked into the woods where red eyes started to light up. "Alright I haven´t had a good fight in ages" Nora yelled as she grabbed her hammer.

Beowolfs appeared and rushed the group, Ruby fired of a few rounds blasting the face of the first Grimm that got in her sight as Nora ran straight into the hoard swinging and laughing like a maniac.

Guts however just watched, there was no need for him to try to save them. This was their fight not his so why bother but his thoughts was interrupted by a Deathstalker who charged him from the side. He quickly jumped to the side, blood flowing from his reopened wound as he grabbed Dragonslayer and cut of the legs of the giant scorpion. The sword was heavy and he couldn´t hold on to it for to long but the dust from puck helped him. He turned around and slipped of into the forest unaware that Ruby had caught a glims of his cape disappearing into the darkness.

Sorry for the shorter chapter and thanks for reading but I have a few announcements.
