After 4 agonizing minutes of attempting to pull the safety pin out, Weiss was becoming skeptical of pulling it. Yang didn't want to, fearing she might hurt Ruby more.
Blake on the other hand though, finally had enough and went over to Ruby. She put her heel right heel onto her butt, leaned down and yanked the pin out.
"OUCHIES!" Ruby yelled as she grasped her butt once more. She looked over at Blake with tears in her red eyes from crying.
"You didn't have to be so rough..." she muttered. The pin didn't go in far but it still hurt and caught her off guard. Ruby stood up and liftd her skirt a bit while lowering her stockings. She glanced at the small red bump under her rump on the side and poked it.
"Be lucky it was your butt. They could've poked your eye out with that." Blake told her Ruby who winced as she pulled her stocking's up.
Blake went over and sat down on the couch, and felt her spine tingle suddenly when she felt something buzz up her butt. She flew in the air with her hair sticking on end and looked at the couch to see a pair of false teeth tiler toy sitting there. She hissed angrily at it before yanking it off the couch and tossing it to the floor. She lifted a boot up before bringing it down on the toy, smashing it and causing gears and springs to fly in all directions.
She sat down AGAIN in between Yang and Weiss. She first looked at both of them and told them. "If you can't sit together I'll sit here. Have a problem? Good." She said without letting any of them answer.
"Sorry I wasn't much help Opal..." Copper said to his wife as he looked down in shame. He had fallen in battle so quickly, his battle sense had been rusted from years of retirement to the point he hadn't even sensed that Grimm that had attacked him. He had rushed into battle, without thinking of the abilities and strengths of his opponents, and it had cost him.
"He's acting hard on himself." Weiss said with a sadder tone to her face.
"I wish my weapon was there, then I could've killed that Grimm... and maybe Naruto wouldn't be so hurt." Ruby sighed.
"We tried our best Rubes, nothing wrong there." Yang pointed out.
He had not even used his own Semblence for years, and he suddenly pushed his Semblence up to a x9.
The stress he had put on his body had ripped his muscles and cracked a fair number of bones.
"Holy crap. A semblance that actually hurts you the more you use it..." Yang muttered, "... that's insane."
"Coming from you that's a surprise." Weiss told her. "You told a monster you were going to kiss him, then punched him." Weiss said to Yang who winked at her.
"So, if you were in the same spot you could do what? Insult him and get pounded to the ground?" Yang asked her with a riased eyebrow.
"No, but I wouldn't just let my lips be on the market." Weiss chimmed to her.
"Not that they'er worth a thing." Yang insulted her.
"They'd be worth more than a pair of Yang's used ones." Weiss told her without facing her.
"So, at least they've gotten some kind of... Interdenominational action. Because I haven't seen Naruto or any guy go after you." Weiss's face beamce red as she nearly shouted.
"I SO HAVE-"
"Enough! Both of you!" Blake finally yelled after getting sick with the constant banter.
Opal placed her hand on his hand and smiled at him.
"Copper, you are putting too much blame on yourself. You haven't fought in nearly two decades now, you had to quit... I we can always fix the gym back up. You did your best, and that is all I will ever ask of you." Opal said to her husband, and he smiled at her before he leaned to her and kissed her on the cheek, a more innocent kiss. She smiled at him moments after.
'Wish that was me... urk, with Naruto.' Yang corrected her thoughts from making it sound weird.
Copper grinned.
"What did I ever do to deserve you?" Copper asked.
'I hope me and Naruto can someday be like that... oh I wish I could meet him.' Yang thought. After reading about him she wished there was a guy like Naruto. Handsome, charismatic, funny, caring, and as her dad put it not trying to get in her pants. He was the epitome of a perfect boyfreidn. Too perfect but she didn't care. They were both perfect, and that is why they belonged together.
"You treated me like a woman... Looks like we have company." Opal said as the door to the hospital room opened up.
"It'd be hard to treat her like a woman with the way she... looks." Blake said rudely.
"There's someone for everyone." Yang told Blake, while Blake got a bit unsettled at that statement.
She was surprised to see Naruto and Iron walking in.
"He's walking? They both are? How?" Weiss asked almost stunned at them both standing.
"They're tough, own it." Yang mock rapped to Weiss.
"Hehe... Own it." Ruby laughed weakly and noticed the fridge she destroyed was... Right back in it's place.
"Boys! Glad you could make it! Don't worry, doc said I'll be good to go in a few weeks! I pushed my Semblence too far, which caused most of this damage to me." Copper shouted out as he slammed his hand into his chest. He yelped and leaned forward, coughing into his hand in pain.
Not a smart move.
"Nope." Ruby said as she filled one of the smaller bowls with ice and sat on it. Soothing her wound... Safety pin wound.
Opal and Iron chuckled at him, he would be fine, he was out of practice controlling his own strength, and it had cost him. He was lucky that this was the only extent of the damages.
"I think we were both luck to get those guys taken care of. They weren't easy." Yang told Ruby who nodded in agreement.
"So Naruto, are you okay? I heard that you killed that large Grimm... and that you took some pretty bad damage yourself." Opal asked the younger man, and Naruto looked at himself.
"Lucky, he got to kill the Grimm." Ruby poured as Weiss stared at her in disbelief.
Weiss looked at her oddly enough that it caught Ruby's attention. But Weiss turned her head around to avoid eye contact directly.
His arms and legs were damaged up, as was his chest, but he was mostly fine. He was suffering from pushing his body too far, the stress of using multiple Semblences back to back, and using such a high-stress Semblence like Hot Soul, and the attack he had taken to the chest, had all piled up.
"Mister gorgeous Super hot amazingly talented bunny man can beat anything without breaking a sweat!" Yang pumped her hands in the air... before she felt her head. "Huh, deja vu." She uttered at the end.
Blake looked at her with a bit of a sudden thought, though she ignored it as she kept on reading.
He would heal from it soon, but the doctor had suggested to him that he not use any of his copied Semblences so that he didn't put too much stress on his body. If he put too much stress on his body, the backlash would be even more severe.
"If that were me I wouldn't be able to stand." Ruby said as she kept a tissue on the spot where the safety pin hit her.
"You were hit with a safety pin and still won't stand." Blake told her as she stuck a tongue out and pulled down one of her eye lids.
He might collapse in the middle of a battle.
"I'll be fine... I'm sorry about your gym... I destroyed part of it." Naruto confessed, looking uncomfortable at his own part to play. He had collapsed a large portion of ceiling and wall to kill the "Edgar" Minotaur thing.
"Hopefully Iron and his family understands." Yang said as Weiss looked back at her.
"You know, I still never got over what happened at the pier with all my families shipping crates." Weiss said while looking at Ruby and Blake who both avoided eye contact and whistled. They were both whistling. Weiss sat back and wondered why they were on the team again.
It had a soul unlike any Grimm he had ever seen, and it listened to the commands of that Albus man.
Copper looked at Iron, while Opal smiled to herself and rubbed Naruto between the ears on the top of his head. Everyone of the Lee family smiled widely at Naruto, with Iron giving Naruto a huge pat on the back.
"Albus made that Grimm... then that means he could create another." Blake wanted her friends.
"He's short one loyal cow though." Yang told her.
"HA! No reason to be sorry my boy! A gym can always be rebuilt, it is just a building... We can always build it better than ever! Thank you for what you could do, you protected what you could, and you saved our lives. For that, I can't thank you enough." Copper stated as he smiled widely at Naruto. He was proud of Naruto for what he had done, even though Naruto had not expected himself to live through the encounter, he still acted as the decoy so that they could escape.
"He's a total knight in shining armor, like his skates." Yang told her friends.
"Knights don't wear skates." Blake told Yang who flipped her off.
"My BF's better than all the armies combined." Yang told Blake who shot a glare at her.
He knew that Naruto didn't like solving problems with violence unless it was strictly needed, with no other way around it.
"Violence is always the best answer with the quickest results!" Yang stated with a voice full of humor.
"Can't you make a reasonable argument besides shouting one?" Weiss asked irritably. Being stuck in a room being forced to read a book was making her more and more squirmy.
"Now why would you want to live so mundane?" Yang asked. "Naruto maybe a bit of a of a, goody-toe-shoes."
"Skates." Ruby corrected her.
"But I'm confident that when we're together, he'll be just like me." Yang said.
"You're going to be disappointed if you two don't end up together." Blake told her. "In stories, pairings don't stay... and some people don't live until the end. Remember that." She told Yang.
Opal and Iron gave Naruto large hugs.
"Does this count as more damage to him?" Ruby questioned.
"Oh! This gives us the chance to build a new dance floor for the gym as well. The renovations will be glorious!" Opal shouted out with excitement.
"They can really be happy about bad things." Weiss noted. If her home was destroyed she'd feel sad, for a moment though since her family could replace it in a blink of an eye.
"Well, if Opal and Coppers son is like them exactly, then me and Narutos children will be handsome and cute little thrill seekers. And they will be too good for anyone to date." Yang said as she thought of images of what her future children would look like.
"Not to mention imaginary." Blake told Yang who snapped her head at her.
"Like your relationship with him?" Yang questioned as Blake's fingers dug into the book.
"You're going to regret saying that." Blake said as she slammed the book down in the table. Yang got up and was ready to bust heads with Blake, before she hesitated. Then she sat down and opened the book.
"We're not going to be able to leave unless we finish." Blake said, as Yang huffed at her before plopping on the couch. She'd get back at her, Weiss first though.
"What is with you and dancing Mom?" Iron asked the question Naruto was wondering as well. Opal blushed a little and scratched the back of her head, looking away. Copper smiled at his wife's embarassment.
"This is-" Weiss began but stopped herself.
"That is a story for another time... So boys, have you been visited by the young ladies yet?" Opal changed the subject.
She wondered how Naruto and Yang were progressing.
"Soon to be engaged and making babies!" Yang joked as she balled a fist in her mouth as her sister gasped.
"But Yang you're too young!" Ruby yelled at her.
Weiss then looked at Yang "And she was talking about injuries not marital status!"
"I just wanna make sure we can seal it before we get to old, menopause is one bad way to live my life." Yang brushed off without thinking of what she just said.
"You're 17, women don't hit menopause until your in your 40's or 50's." Blake told her. She knew highly of the subject and would just leave it at that. She had the knowledge from her erotic novels, some of which the main character's were unable to have children from reaching a certain age point.
"That's only 34 years though!" Yang threw her arms in the air. "Life's short. Especially when we're huntresses, we could die any day. You've gotta live every day like it's your last. Because I'm sure as heck not gonna live it being single. I'm ready to mingle." Yang told Blake who scoffed at her.
"Relationships take time to start, you haven't even begun a friendship with Naruto." Blake told her. It was true. Naruto did save Ruby from being drugged, but that was it. Yang hadn't really spoken to him other than stuttering like some school girl seeing her favorite boy band for the first time.
"We could also skip being that and just be friends with benefits." Yang listed off as Blake gasped and Weiss shook her head.
"You would need to get him to be insane to do that." Weiss told Yang who flipped her off in return.
"Well, other than some bruises, they weren't really hurt." Naruto mentioned dully. Ruby only had a bruised butt and bloody nose from the entire thing. Her opponent had mostly been messing with her the entire fight, and had underestimated her and Yang, which led to his defeat in the end. Yang had taken a beaten, but her aura had guarded her from most of it other than some bruising.
Ruby winced when she felt the sore in her butt at that being said.
Naruto's injuries came from a combination of him "playing dead" with Edgar, and him overusing Hot Soul.
Iron just wasn't that injured.
"I just remembered something, we both played dead." Yang remembered as she and Naruto both pulled off the same stunt to throw off their attackers. While hers was a bit more... mean, it still saved her life.
She didn't do it because she liked it, but because it was fun as hell to knock out assholes.
"They were checked out and left the first day they were here, right?" Iron asked Naruto, seeing as Naruto most likely had the knowledge.
Naruto didn't know.
"I couldn't really move that well the last few days." Naruto pointed out as he crossed his arms. He looked towards the window, and saw that it was raining outside. He just got back his super hearing, but he was still a little... dazed from that thunderous attack that had come from Bo Jingles. The doctors said the ringing would go away very soon though, which was good for Naruto.
"What?" Yang did the mock deaf version of herself.
He hated the ringing in his ears... all 4 of them.
"Well, I'm sure that Yang lass would have loved to get a visit from you." Opal spoke to Naruto with a knowing look. He raised an eyebrow at her, but didn't make much of a comment on the matter.
'I sure would love to give him a... wait. Lass?" Yang asked in her thoughts as Ruby muffled a giggle at the name.
*Knock Knock*
"I'm coming in." Yang stated as she opened the door without even waiting for an answer. She noticed Naruto, and her cheeks turned red, but she didn't change her stop moving as she walked towards the occupants of the room. She looked at Naruto for a moment, taking in his still damaged appearance, and she winced. He had taken on the biggest threat, and helped both her and Ruby with their own threats, she felt a little guilty that she had not been able to help him.
She had some flowers and a bag of sour candy in her hand.
Ruby almost laughed at how different her sister acted around Naruto. Ruby hadn't ever acted like that, and neither had Yang. Still seeing it was intresting to her because while Yang did show some interest in guys and girls, she was more of an eye teaser. Her getting teased was new to Ruby.
Yang played with her hair a bit as she saw herself do this. She felt like a guy trying to win a girls heart... But now it was the other way around. It was like a sick romantic comedy happening right now with her. An alternate version of her she was being forced to watch with her team.
She had talked with Iron, as it stood, Naruto liked sour things more than he liked sweets. She wanted to make a good impression, because the last few times that she tried to talk to him... one didn't end well, and the other... didn't end well either.
"But I'm ready, no choking. Not going to choke, or blush. Or stutter." Yang listed off while her face was burning.
Weiss smirked at Yang's sudden strngth she was trying to show. "Huh, what's that Yang? You're going to fawn over him even more? Why I already knew that."
"Shut up."
"Hello Lass, what brings you here?!" Copper shouted out with a huge grin, and Yang looked towards Naruto for a brief moment.
"Hehehe... lass." Ruby laughed.
"Lass.. More like yellow grass." Yang joked trying to make them forget the fact she was giving Naruto gifts.
"Lame." Weiss/Ruby/Blake said all together.
"I was looking for Naruto... but he wasn't in his room." Yang said, her eyes flickering back and forth between Naruto and the others in the room.
'She has it so bad for him.' Opal thought to herself.
"I... I do! I do and I would reach to the farthest edges of the World for him... because my heart burns brighter than the sun." Yang said from her heart as her team stared at her oddly. She noticed the stares and sat down while mentally punishing herself for outburst. Where in the name of Oum did that come from?
"Was that poetry?" Blake questioned but she knew Yang was crazy. Some pretty crazy girl she was.
'So obvious.' Iron thought with a growing smile on his face. He could see that look in her eyes, and he liked it.
Weiss would admit seeing the two lion at each-other was romantic in a way. A guy with an unsure personality but a rocketing strength and a girl with a fiery passion and a hard hitting tough exterior becoming one... was funny. Because when she was around him she almost changed completely. She kinda wished a real Naruto was here so he could keep Yang in check.
'I love a good love story.' Copper was amused by the entire thing, while Naruto looked at Yang with some surprise for the fact she was coming to see him. Yang walked over to Naruto, before she gave him the flowers.
Red Camellia, Pink Camellia, White Camellia, Red Carnation, White Carnation, some Daffodils around the edges, Gloxinia, and in the center of it all was a Red Rose.
*GASP* Came from Ruby as she suddenly squealed. She looked at Yang and hugged her as Yang's face contorted to one of red like roses.
She knew exactly what it said.
Blake almost stifled a gasp. She automatically knew what the message was and a small blush graced her face.
Weiss was looking back and fourth frantically and said, "What? What does it mean?"
Blake pointed down for Weiss to see.
Translated.
You're a flame in my heart, I long for you, I think you're adorable, My heart aches for you, Pure love, The sun always shines when I'm with you, Love at first sight, and finally I love you.
Weiss actually felt a tear escape her eye. That message was so beautifully crafted that it made her heart ache for it to be filled. Naruto was one lucky person to have found someone that he could be comfortable with. While Yang was no romantic in Weiss's eyes before she definitely hit a home run with this one.
Weiss looked at Yang with tears running down her eyes and said. "T-that was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard."
Yang rubbed the back of her head. "Don't think about falling for me, I'm already taken!" She yelled as she felt uncomfortable.
"But Yang, that was probably the most... beautifully crafted piece of literature formed into flowers that I've ever read. I have much respect for you and hope Naruto and you get together... because he is one luck man to have found you."
"Aw, thanks Weiss. So," Yang began with a smile. "Wanna just, bury the hatchet and start over?"
"Sure." Weiss smiled as she leaned over and hugged Yang which Yang returned gratefully.
"Hey Weiss?" Yang asked her as they counties to hug.
"Yes?" Weiss asked.
"Got you." Yang said evilly.
"What do you meOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!" Weiss screeched as Yang reached behind and under Weiss's skirt, then grabbing the back portion of her panties and yanking them upward. Yang grunted as she reared her arm back. Weiss wore a white frilly pair that ran up sensitive cracks and crevices and nearly burning the skin, not tearing but scraping it and giving burns. Weiss had tears rushing out of her eyes as her skirt went up to her back.
"Payback!" Yang yelled as Ruby and Blake scooted away from the destruction of Weiss's pride being destroyed. They weren't going to get involved because it looked like Yang had been planning this. If they interfered they might become victims to Yang's wrath.
"Y-y-you bitch!" Weiss stammered as she was being pulled about a foot and a half off the ground. Yang looked back and fourth before gazing up and seeing a ceiling fan.
'Never saw that. Sucks for you Weiss.' Yang though as she stood on the couch and launched herself up with Weiss indies in hand, then stuck her on the fan. She dropped down about 10 feet and landed on the couch. Weiss was screaming as her panties rode up herself sensitive spots and she felt her eyes snap onto Yang.
"GET ME DOWN!" Weiss shouted louder than her friends had ever heard her before."
Yang laughed before pointing to her shorts. "I lost my pair, now you're gonna lose yours. Sorry to leave you hanging." Yang told Weiss about her underwear.
"Yang! That's mean!" Ruby yelled as she got on the table and tried to help Weiss down. She tried to pull her legs but that only got to hurt the heriress more as she screeched.
Blake looked up at the heiress to the Schnee family and wondered what they would think. Though Blake learned something intresting from the angle Weiss was in. Weiss was 'hairless' under there. Funny that it rhymed.
Her panties were ridden up her folds so much that there wasn't anything being hidden.
Yang looked at Blake and urged her to read. Blake shrugged her shoulders before continuing.
'So sweet.' Opal thought, actually understanding the language of flowers as she looked at the lovely grouping that Yang had gathered. She was proclaiming her love for Naruto in a beautiful way, something that Opal wouldn't have thought possible for the rash girl to do. Yang had asked her if Naruto liked flowers, his sensative nose, but she didn't think she had been planning on doing THIS with that knowledge.
Blake smiled a bit. Yang was trying to be with Naruto, if not begging to be with him.
"OUCH RUBY YOU'RE GOING TO TEAR ME IN HALF!" Weiss screamed.
"Hold..." Ruby got on the table and grabbed Weiss hands before yanking down. "ON!"
SO beautiful.
"OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!" Weiss screamed louder as Ruby was on her tip-toes now trying to try and slide Weiss off the fan but failing.
Iron was just crying, the scene in front of him was too beautiful for him not to cry at. He too understood the language of flowers. Now Yang asking him Naruto's favorite candy made a lot of sense to him.
Weiss was now crying because her underwear was at the point of nearly ripping her a new vagina.
She was boldly proclaiming love!
"Almost... there." Ruby squeezed out as she tried one last idea. Jumping up she put Weiss hands on her shoulder and said. "Sorry." Before launched herself across the room with her semblance. Ruby got about 7 feet across with Weiss's white panties stretched to the farthest point and her face was in an agonizing state.
Ruby took one look back before being yanked back and smashing right in the ceiling with Weiss, causing bits of the ceiling to crumble.
"Here! I want you to have-" Yang started to push the flowers into Naruto's hands, but he gently pushed them back to her.
Yang felt her heart crack at that.
Just as she felt her heart crack, the ceiling cracked and Ruby fell to the floor first, then Weiss did with her panties snapping back. She landed on the table with her face landing inside another bowl. This time the ones ring got caught around her face and wedged itself on. She got up to shake the feeling of dizziness and then suddenly felt something HEAVY hit her on the head.
The ceiling fan ripped from the wires and foundation before clonking Weiss on the head, making the bowl lock on.
"Where are you!" Weiss yelled from inside the bowl as she rubbed her crouch and butt crack soothingly. Her panties burned her entire lower region and now it was burning.
She was personally going to find Yang and rip her hair out!
"I'm sorry, but I don't return your feelings. I can't accept these flowers." Naruto gently rejected her, feeling bad that he had to turn her down. He knew what flowers meant, he had a lot of sisters, one of which literally worked in a flower shop. He knew the flowers that had to do with love, and while Yang's love was truly beautiful, he would rather her get hurt now, than him take her flowers and hurt her worse later.
Yang almost felt her lip quiver as Ruby got up and brushed the dust off her. She looked over to see Weiss with her hands on front of her trying to find a neck to choke. She came up behind and grabbed her shoulder. "Don't worry I-"
Weiss spun around and socked Ruby in the face.
"Ow!" Ruby shouted as she held her nose. "W-"
"That's for making me have the most painful wedgie imaginable! Now where's Yang!"
Blake watched the two banter as Yang watched her ship slowly sink.
Yang looked down sadly for a second, before she perked up and pushed the flowers back into his hands.
"Please..." Yang whispered.
While this was happening, Weiss was struggling to get the bowl off her head. Ruby managed to help her, slightly, as she got on on side to try and pry it off.
"How can this keep happening? I don't even remember putting that bowl there." Ruby said.
"YANG DID!" Weiss yelled from the bowl.
Iron, Opal, and Copper all had their jaws dropped at Naruto turning Yang down so quickly. They were watching what was playing out with rapt attention given.
Blake patted Yang on the back as she saw a tear escape her lilac eyes.
Ruby wasn't paying much attention because of certain reasons revolving her partner.
"Don't be sorry, this is a gift... Honestly... I've been in love with you since the first time I laid eyes on you. It hurts... a lot to hear you reject me... Like a lot... Damn... it really does hurt." Yang said with a sad grin as she rubbed her hand over her heart. It was a pretty bad pain to get rejected after all.
Yang's heart slowly began to crumble.
"I'm sorry." Naruto apologized again, looking away.
"He... why are guys such jerks?" Yang asked Blake who shook her head. She ad numerous answers to that question from her own experiences, but she was hesitant to share anything like that now.
"Don't even get me started." Blake told her. Even though she understood that Naruto didn't return Yang's feelings at this moment, so she wasn't angry with him for it. After all, it would be wrong for him to accept her feelings, when he didn't truly return them himself. It would just be lying to Yang.
"Are my chances zero?"
Yang leaned forward and listened. Her chances couldn't be a zero. There had to be some number of her chances. She didn't care it it was 1 even. A chance was still a chance no matter the size. Then she thought about herself, who was to say he'd be like this forever? People in a way did change. They truly did. There might be creases within someone, but it took that special someone to brush them down and be allowed into their hearts.
Yang felt a flicker of gold spur in her stomach.
"Huh?" Naruto asked and looked at her when she asked the question. The Lee family leaned in closer to try and watch what was playing out. They were as silent as could be as Yang looked at Naruto with serious eyes.
"Please..." Yang whispered. Her light was barely lit. Still there but barely.
"I think I almost got it." Ruby said as Weiss bent over to try and get the bowl off, while accidentally giving Blake a free show since she didn't have any underwear anymore. Blake wasn't paying much attention though.
"Are my chances to win your heart zero? I don't quit easily, and I don't like backing down. I'm not joking either. I fell in love with you, and if I think I have a chance with you, I'm not going to give up. So I have a chance?" Yang asked Naruto with pure, raw, determination to win his affections in her eyes. He could see that, and he could admire her for it, that even though her heart had taken a hit, she was still not going to back down.
She didn't look away from Naruto even once as he got ready to answer.
Did she have a chance?
Yang held her breath. And Ruby suddenly stopped tugging to listen to Blake's voice read them the words to her.
"... Yes." Naruto answered back to her.
Yang's heart broke in two. Her light almost went fully out. She was conflicted, even though she was happy that yes she did have a chance to be with him, she was also heart broken that this confirmed for her that he did not want to be with her at the moment. But she felt a pang of light flicker. Maybe there would be hope. She'd try. The golden dragon wouldn't rest until her heart was filled with Naruto in it's place.
He had cracked it, and he was the one to fix it.
Blake looked at Yang in sympathy. Knowing how rejection felt... Giving it though. She turned down Sun a few times and he didn't seem fazed by it.
She didn't know how he did it.
He wouldn't lie to her, even though he didn't want her to pursue him, for fear that she would get hurt. He didn't know her very well, so he wasn't going to just... become her boyfriend just like that. He wasn't comfortable with her, but he wasn't going to say he would never be comfortable with her either. Iron was 10 times more annoying than Yang, and he got along with Iron very well, and liked him well enough to call him his best friend.
While he was giving the explanations to why a Romantic relationship wouldn't work at the best of times, Yang began to feel her entire soul, everything being crushed. Like she had just presented a flower of affection, and his refusal was... painful. She could understand him and his points, and she understood that he didn't return her feelings, yet, but it still hurt... a lot.
Almost agonizing and she almost wanted to cry.
"What's happening?" Weiss questioned from the bowl.
"Naruto rejected Yang." Ruby told her as she felt bad for Yang.
"What?!" Weiss shouted as she stood straight up and pointed at the back of the room. "That guy better have a good reason-" Ruby pushed her arm so that it was pointed to the picture of Naruto on the tv. "To turn down that love bouquet." Weiss thought no one on Remnant would ever turn something so romantic down, even if they didn't know each other that well. It was something she dreamed of having. A tall hunk to sweep her off her feet. Even if they didn't get their friendship off on the best foot.
"But... but I don't want friendship..." Yang muttered.
"Yang, relationships don't just happen. You don't meet someone you love... they come to you for a reason." Blake told Yang. Love at first sight was not always a two way love, and it took work to make such a relationship work.
"I know... You know what." Yang took a different look now. "It's not going to stop me." She announced.
"... Then I'm not backing down. I give you my word that I'm not going to give up until the person who owns this-" Yang poked her finger against his chest, right against his heart, before she took it and pointed to her cheek. "-is me. So prepare yourself. If I see a chance, I'm taking it. I'm going to break that wall around her heart down." Yang stated as she turned around and walked away.
Yang nodded. "I can bet my own ass I won't give up. Screw what the author thinks or tries to do, fate will decide whose destined."
"Easy there. Be careful with who you insult." The voice told them as it nearly shook the room.
"Pffft, there's nothing you can do to us that won't already have been done. I've been spanked. Had my hair pulled. And stripped. If you really want to think about threatening me then come down here yourself, or better yet call FTDS and tell him or her to man up or don't show up." Yang yelled back. The constant isolation she was having was making her angry. Not to mention this chapter pissed her off a bit.
"That's strike two, consider your op-" The voice was then cut off.
"Yeah well fuck you, and fuck this book if we don't end up together!" Yang cursed as she sat down. She knew she'd never give up to win Naruto's heart but the slow aching feeling of not getting him on the first try was a bit of a bummer. But hey, Remnant wasn't established over night.
Yang nodded. She'd have Naruto.
'So much drama... I love it.' Opal thought to herself, with Copper nodding. 'She understand what it means to be a man.' Copper thought with arms crossed, a nod of approval to Yang's actions.
Yang watched so much intensity that she resembled a magnify glass.
'He's smiling.' Iron thought as he looked at Naruto.
Yang smiled a bit too as Blake felt her chest grow lighter. Even though her feelings were rejected, it was clear to her that Naruto was not unhappy that she confessed, which meant that he liked Yang in some way.
A small smile graced his best friend's face.
