Ok, um...sorry about that super sad depressing chapter guys, but we're back to make you smile. So last time, Kanna and Shio had a battle to determine who was stronger. Shio defeated Kanna, but at a price. His sister was sent to the hospital. Now he, Kanna, and Ozpin are at the hospital. Or should I say their father...
Kanna: What do you mean, daddy? Explain what to me?
The young dragon looks up at her father with a look of confusion, while she hugs him tightly. Shio was hesitant on moving any closer to his sister. Before Ozpin can speak, Shio cuts him off.
Shio: Kanna, I am so sorry I hurt you. Please forgive me for my foolishness. I-
Before Shio can finish his sentence, Ozpin lets go of Kanna and looks at Shio, sighing sadly.
Ozpin: No, my son. If anyone is sorry or ashamed of what they did, it should me. I should have and very well could have stopped the fight. I knew Kanna wasn't ready.
The small dragon sits up, letting Ozpin go.
Kanna: NO! I I wanna be strong!
Ozpin looks at his daughter and sighs again.
Ozpin: You are strong, but Shio is stronger.
Kanna: Is that why you like Shio more? Because he's stronger than me?
Shio: Kanna, I-I should've know you weren't ready. You are strong but battle ready you are not…..
Kanna: W-why did you drop the lance on me?
Shio moves to hug her, but Jaune walks and blocks him.
Jaune: Visiting hours are over.
Ozpin & Shio: Alright. Sleep well, Kanna
Shio, Ozpin and Jaune takes their leave, going back to the school. Shio goes into the empty, sad room and starts to decorate it to prepare for his sister's return. After adding the finishing touches, the room he leaves. He walks around for a while before going to Team JNPR's door. Shio knocks on the door, waiting for a response. Ren opens the door in the only his towel with wet hair.
Ren: Oh hello Shio. Is there anything you need?
Shio: No- Well, yes. M-may I come in?
Ren: Sure.
Shio walks to the couch. As he does, Ren leaves rushing to change into his clothes, being careful to close the door behind him. He walks back out with his usual outfit before the door creaks back open with a giggle behind it.
Shio: Thank you, Sir Ren
Ren: It is no problem. What do you need Shio?
As Ren hears the creak from the door and the giggle, he goes on guard knowing it's Nora's laugh. Before she speaks with a giggle.
Nora: Ren~ can you-
Before the ginger can finish her sentence, Ren goes to the door and checks on her. A few minutes passed and Ren hasn't returned. Mumbling can be heard from just outside the door. After a half an hour as passed Ren finally returns to Shio straightening his clothes and clearing his throat.
Shio: Is everything alright with miss Nora? You were gone for quite a while? The dark haired teen looks away for a second trying to hide the faint flush from his face.
Ren: Everything is fine, but what did you want to discuss?
Shio: I wanted to thank you for taking care of Kanna. Without you and your team, Kanna would not be recovering at this rate.
Ren: It is our pleasure. While I don't agree with what you did, I am glad she is alright. And that you are alright as well.
Shio: Well, thank you and please, if I may ask a favor of you, Sir Ren. Let Jaune know I am truly sorry. He seems to not want to hear it from me.
Ren: I will pass the message on, I assure you.
While Ren and Shio talk, Nora and Pyrrha are getting dressed. After fighting for a few minutes. Pyrrha walking into the living room wearing Jaune's clothes, while Nora is dressed in Ren's clothes.
Ren: N-Nora, why? Why did you steal my clothes?
Shio: Yes I agree. Why are you both wearing sir Jaune and sir Ren's clothing?
Nora: Well I was in your room and my room's all the way on the other side of the living room, SO-
Ren: Ok, th-that's enough explanation
Shio: I still don't understand. (looks at Pyrrha) what about you?
Pyrrha: Oh I just wanted to test the….aerodynamics of Jaunes gear and clothes.
Shio: Pyrrha I may have just woken up and don't understand the customs of this era but, i know that's not the truth.
Pyrrha: Well I-
Nora: I forced her into Jaune's stuff 'cause I thought she'd look so cute!
Shio: Very well then, I bid you ado
Ren: Take me with you!
But before Shio can hear Ren's plea, the door closes. Shio leaves for his dorm. Along the way back, Shio turns the corner and bumps into someone
?: oww
Shio: Are you alright? My apologies
Upon looking down, Shio notices that it's the rabbit faunus from this morning carrying a large box of pictures? Shio then extends his hand and helps her up.
Shio: You're that girl from this morning, aren't you?
Velvet: Oh yes. That's me. Oh, it's you! I never got to thank you for helping me the other day.
Shio: You're welcome, but no thank you is needed. It was what was right.
Velvet: Well still, thank you. Oh wait, where's the little girl that was with you?
Shio: That would be my sister, Kanna. She is in the hospital resting as of now, but when I visit her again, I will tell her you said thank you.
Velvet: Oh thank you. Oh no,I'm gonna be late for training! G-goodbye, Shio.
Shio: Alright, goodbye ma'am.
As Velvet leaves, Shio sighs and looks towards Team JNPR's room, smiling before hearing loud screaming from Nora and assumes she is excited.
Cut Back to Team JNPR's Room
Jaune: NOOOOOO!
Nora had just thrown Jaune's stuffed rabbit out the window, while cleaning under his bed.
Ren: The rabbit had to go, Jaune. You refused to let us clean him and he was starting to leave a odor.
Jaune: YOU TRAITORS!
Pyrrha: I'm sorry
Nora: Well, if you had let me clean , he wouldn't have skydived out the window.
Jaune: NEVER! Pyrrha, I need to go on a rescue mission! Will you join me on an adventure to save Mr. Snuffles?
Back to Shio
Upon reaching his dorm, he takes a shower and gets ready for bed and stares at the moon. While staring at the moon, he notices something strange as a falling star, or what seemed to be one, fell from the sky.
Shio: What in Oums name was that?
Shio quickly gets dressed and rushes to the where he believes the star has landed.
When Shio arrives, he sees a large crater in the pavement and fire sparks, while in the middle of the crater lies a shadowed figure covered by smoke.
?: Geez, you think a guy would remember his own sister.
Shio: Misty, is that you?
Misty: Is there any other? Your favorite fire cat is back!
Shio: You're the only fire cat I know of. So, when did you wake up? I'm guessing before me?
Misty: Well yeah. My mistress found me a few weeks ago.
Shio: Why did you come crashing down to earth?
Misty: My mistress wanted to see me in my star form.
Shio: So how many masters do you have, and where are they?
Misty: Only two. Mistress Katt and Master Flynt.
Neon: MISTY?!
Shio: Oh, and who is this?
Misty: This is my mistress
Shio: Hello. I am Shio Calder, brother of Misty Elizabeth Winters. What is your name, you colorful Cat?
Neon Katt: Wait, you're Misty's brother? Prove it! FLYNT!
Coming down the street is a teen in a snazzy suit and fedora with a bright blue strip around it, wearing dark sunglasses, oddly at night.
Flynt: Neon, did you find Misty? Is she alright ? (looks At Shio) Who are you, man?
Shio: I am Shio Calder. Who are you, good sir?
Flynt: Name's Flynt Coal, man
Misty: This is my master
Shio: Well, it is a pleasure to meet, my sister's masters. I must ask, Miss. Katt, what would i need to prove that Misty is my sister?
Neon skates around Shio, thinking while looking him up and down with rainbows surrounding him.
Neon: Hmm...Well how about you show me what you got?
The cat fanus starts skating faster around Shio, creating a rainbow around them both
Misty: Mistress, I really don't think that's a good idea. Master, please talk her out of this.
Flynt: Neon, what do you mean show you what he's got? We can't start a fight in the middle of the city.
Neon: Oh, come on, Flynt. It'll be so cool! Besides, this will be over quickly. I mean, he is so stiff. I can handle this.
Shio: Um...I don't think that is a good idea. I don't want to hurt you terribly. Pardon me if this sound rude, but you look pretty frail.
The fanus starts to skate faster around Shio and blurs her movement by her rainbow trail, then hits the tall blue haired male with her nunchuk, throwing him into a wall.
Shio(unfazed): Is that all you want? Very well then.
A ball of water forms in Shio hand and freezes into a ball of ice
Shio: Ice-make cannon ball
Shio launches the orb of ice at Neon, inbedding her into the opposite wall
Neon turns around uses the ice ball to push her up from the wall, still skating before jumping off and landing behind Shio.
Neon Katt: Wow, so are your masters like disappointed you miss your shots a lot, or is this the first time?
Shio hears this and adorns an angry expression and a glyph appears below Neon.
Shio: Ice make prison
A prison cell surrounds Neon, trapping her in place
Shio: Cannon O Steam
Shio then releases a blast of steam from his hand, hitting Neon dead on.
Neon awaits the hit and after a few seconds, she feels nothing. Seeing that Misty melted the prison and carried her out of harm's way.
Misty: You know attacking our masters at full strength without reason is against the rules, Shio.
Shio: Misty, you know full well I wasn't using full power. If I did, the building behind her would have been destroyed. Also, that rule applies to attacking your own master. I was simply complying to her request .
Misty: By trying to send her to the hospital like Kanna?!
Shio: You saw that?
Misty: Of course I saw. It was broadcasted all over Remnant!
Shio: WOW great! Now the whole world thinks I'm an asshole and a child murderer!
Misty: Look, I know you didn't mean to, but-
Misty gets cut off by hearing a girl yelling for Shio.
Ruby: Shio, where are you?!
Shio: Lady Ruby, over here! (waving his hands toward ruby)
Misty turns into her fire cat form and hides behind Flynt.
Shio(smiles): Still a scardy cat around people, aren't you, Lil Misty?
Ruby walks towards Shio, just in time to see a rainbow cat hiss, scratch, and bite his leg before running back behind Flynt.
Ruby: Awww cute kitty! Here, kitty kitty kitty!
Misty hisses more and growls.
Shio(sprays Misty with a little bit of water): Bad kitty! Don't hurt my master.
Misty just hisses and Flynt grabs her and pets her head.
Shio: That's what you get for hissing at my master. Now, transform back and introduce yourself.
Flynt: And if she doesn't?
Shio: Then I tease her as the brother i am with cat puns until she speaks.
Ruby: Um, Shio? Who is she?
Shio: She's my sister, Misty. Misty, say hello or get sprayed.
Misty looks at Ruby and jumps down from Flynt and runs away.
Shio then blocked her way with an ice wall, preventing her escape.
Shio: Nice try (devilishly smiling)
Misty melts the ice just enough so she can fit her body through the hole, but the ice wall reforms too quickly and her tail is caught, trapping and hurting her. Shio quickly opens the ice wall and rushes over to Misty. He picks her up, checking for any wounds.
Shio: Is saying hello to my master really that bad? Come on, Lil' Misty. Even Kanna said hello to my new masters,I swear she won't hurt you.
The flaming fire cat turns into her human form and stands behind Shio, being 2 inches shorter than Ruby.
Ruby: Hi, um...Misty
Misty: H-Hi
Ruby:This is so cool! Shio never said anything about having more than one sister. And you're so cute as a cat! It looks like you use fire, right? I have so many questions.
While Ruby talks, Misty starts getting nervous and scared.
Flynt and Neon starts to notice how scared and uncomfortable Misty is and call her over. The short girl turns into her cat form and runs to Flynt.
Shio: Sorry, Lady Ruby. My sister is shy around new people and I've been trying to make her lose that habit, but to no avail. She is still a familiar and a servant to a master, so she needs some social skills
Neon: Well that's 'cause that mean brother of yours sent her to work with some mean human that hurt her.
Flynt: Yea, it wasn't cool dude.
Shio: First of all, that wasn't me. That was William's doing. He got our father's approval is beyond me But rest assure, that man was punished for hurting my sister by me, personally.
Flynt: What did you do?
Shio: Froze his legs and hung him by his intestines ,
Neon: Yeah, but you didn't stop it.
Shio: I was in Vacuo with my masters on business when the whole thing happened. I gave the man what he deserved when I came back.
Flynt: Anyways, don't force her to socialize. She'll do it when she's ready.
Shio: I'm just trying to help her recover before the incident. She was a real social butterfly in a sense, but I will hold off on it for now, since it is very late. Lady Ruby, you have class tomorrow, so let's get you back to Beacon. Farewell for now, Sir Flynt and Miss Neon. Misty, if you wish, you can come see Kanna. She would be happy to have a familiar face around and I would like to discuss some things in private as well.
Misty: Alright.
Misty turns into her human form and walks away with her master and mistress.
Shio: Lady Ruby, shall we return to Beacon?
Ruby: Yea, let's go Shio.
Shio: Very well.
Shio then picks up Ruby and starts jumping from building to building back to Beacon at breakneck speeds.
Ruby: Shio, what did those two mean? Did someone really hurt your sister, because she a fanus?
Shio: Sadly yes, but what he did makes Cardin look like a saint.
Ruby: Was she really a social butterfly before then?
Shio: Yup. She once knew everyone's name in the village with a population of 200, along with their hobbies
Ruby: W-woah, it must be so concerning to see her so scared and quiet now, huh?
Shio: Yup, and this is all because of that bastard and what he made her do.
The pair finally make it back to Beacon, stopping at the halls.
Ruby: That's so sad. Oh, it looks like we're already here
After landing near the Beacon dorms, Shio places Ruby down and exchanges his goodnight's. He heads to his dorm, laying down in his bed and falling asleep.
The Next Day
Upon waking up, Shio looks up at the clock, seeing that it's around 4:30 am. He gets up, showers, dress and makes his way to the infirmary.
As he makes his way to the infirmary, he arrives at 8 before a nurse notifies him that Kanna was released and picked up a hour ago.
Nurse: I apologize. Little Kanna has already been taken back home, Mr. Calder.
Shio: May I ask who picked her up Miss?
The Nurse then tells Shio that Ren had come to pick her up, leaving with her. After thanking the Nurse, Shio heads to team JNPR to speak with Kanna. He knocks on the door quietly.
Ren opens the door, fully dressed, wearing an apron as the black haired teen opens the door to allow Shio to come in. He sees Misty sitting at a table, eating pancakes with Kanna.
Shio: Morning Sir Ren, Kanna, Misty. You all slept well?
Kanna: Onii-chan, I missed you so much! I-
The small girl goes to hug her brother, but stops before she can actually hug him, afraid that he is still mad at her or will hurt her again.
Shio: Kanna, about yesterday. I'm sorry for what I did and I hope that you will forgive me.
Kanna hugs Shio, smiling. Misty looks and lets out a sigh.
Shio(looks at Misty): Come on. Family hug!
MIsty: Since when were you a fan of the family hug?
Shio: Again, not William.
Ren offers Shio a plate of pancakes and he accepts.
MIsty: OH! Is that why you dyed your hair blue?
Shio: Shush, you. Again, not dyed magic.
Misty giggles and rushes into the family hug, smiling.
MIsty: Little sister has some nice masters. I...I feel calm.
Shio: Yep. Sir Ren is a very kind man and has to handle a woman that terrifies me everyday.
Ren: Nora isn't that bad. She grows on you after a while. Her energy is a nice contrast to most serious and boring lectures.
Shio: True, but she still scares me
As they both talk, the crusher wakes up and walks out of her room, immediately greeted by the aroma.
Nora: I SMELL PANCAKES!
Shio: Well, speak of the devil. Good morning, Miss Nora.
Misty is about to hide, but sees Nora's outfit and squeals.
Misty: Your shirt is adorable!
Shio: How are you not scared right now?
MIsty: She's wearing pink. Pink isn't scary.
Shio: Right. You love colorful stuff. Wait, who stole my pancake?
Kanna looks over and discreetly pulls the last bit of pancake off Shio's plate, while Nora had taken the other half.
Shio: (looks at Kanna) Clever Girl (pats her head)
Misty: So Ren, Nora, why do you both get along so well? Are you both, ya know, "together together"?
Ren looks at Nora and for once, the short ginger is at a loss for words. Her face turned red.
Shio: That's a first
Misty: First what?
Shio: The first time I've seen her this red.
Misty: But are they?
Shio: I don't know, but my masters have a betting pool on this kind of thing.
Ren: Yes is the short answer, right Nora?
Nora: Y-y-yes Ren
Shio: Well, that's something to tell the masters. Lady Ruby is going to, as she said, "make bank on you two"
Nora: How did you know? Also how much money is it and shouldn't Ren and I get a cut of that?
Shio: My Masters told me yesterday. The pool is around 5,000 lein. You would have to ask them.
Ren: What happened to their money for clothes, books and food?
Shio: I don't know. They just said Weiss has a bad habit of over betting.
Pyrrha and Jaune walk into the room, coming back from their training. Pyrrha smiles, seeing Kanna.
Pyrrha: Kanna, I am so glad you're ok.
Misty stares and smiles, calling Pyrrha over and whispers to her.
Misty: How long have you liked that blondie?
Shio: Oh, you figured it out, too.
Misty: It wasn't hard to figure out.
Pyrrha: H-how did you both figure it out? I thought I was hiding it well...
Shio/ Misty: As clear as glass
Kanna: Ren, Onii-chan, what does sister mean by "together together"?
Shio: It means they're dating, Kanna.
Kanna: Dating?
Shio: What you thought me and Lady Ruby were.
Kanna: OH, ok.
Nora: That reminds me- PYRRHA, WE NEED TO PICK UP OUR DRESSES!
Shio: Oh? What for, If I may ask?
Nora: Silly~ The Beacon dance for the Vital festival!
Kanna/Shio/Misty: What's a Dance?
Nora leaves and comes back, dragging in all of team RWBY.
Nora: How would you explain a dance?
Yang: A KILLER PARTY WITH MUSIC, FOOD, AND DRINKS!
Kanna grabs Pyrrha's hand and does the tango and dips her, smiling being a show off.
Kanna: Like that?
Yang and Nora: EXACTLY
Shio: So, it's just moving to music.
Misty: In that case, the only one in trouble is Mr. Two Left Feet himself, Shio.
Shio: Hey! It's not my fault my real form has no legs.
Ren finally stops using his semblance on Misty and her color brightens. As he does, Misty starts to panic, feeling trapped. She then turns into cat form and goes to the open window and moves on the ledge.
Shio: Misty, get back here. We're on the 6th floor!
Misty jumps off and spreads her rainbow wings to fly down.
Shio: Right, she can fly. She'll be fine.
Misty crashes into a pole and falls down several steps away from the building into a puddle.
Shio: Nevermind (jumps out the window)
As he does, he creates water wings and flies over to check on Misty.
(Authors note : Not the floatation devices sadly, but that be funny)
Shio: You're out of practice, aren't you?
The man smirks at his younger sister, helping her stand up.
Shio: This is why practice is important, even for simple things.
Misty: Ugh. I hate it when you're right. You get this cocky look on your face.
As the short girl goes to stand, she looks at her brother and sighs, seeing his cocky grin smirking at her.
Shio: So why did you jump out a window six stories high?
Misty: Did you not see all those people in there it -it was terrifying, I don't know how I was there and not freakinging out.
The small girl pulls her hood up to cover her face in shame and lets out a sad whimper.
MIsty: I know a-as a familiar I need t get over this b-but I just can't. Shio you don't know what it's like. They used me and then the forced me to kill so many children. I knew those children's name Shio they wanted to be doctors and huntresses and hunters.
The fire familiar drops back to the round splashing the puddle not wanting to see her reflection. As hot tears fall down her face she continuously sobs.
Misty: look at this i'm a joke to all familiars, if dad saw me like this …..i'm a disappointment to him aren't I Shio?
With puffy, red eyes the girl looks at her older brother for answers and comfort and then looks away not expecting any. In the same moment she does Shio grabs Misty and hugs her close and tight. Softly petting her long brunette hair in slow gentle long pats. He whispers soothing sounds in her ear, letting her cry rubbing her back and continuously petting her head. Shio pulls the young girl away and looks her in the eyes and sighs.
Shio: Yeah he would be.
Misty: Y-you think so?
Shio: But not because of your fear, he would be disappointed to see the bright, sweet, kind and caring girl he knew and raised be so held down by fear. You used to be so brave and social. You knew everyone and their name their hopes and dreams. Misty the world needs more people more human and fanus with that kind of heart.
Misty: Really do you think so?
Shio: I know so Misty
Shio sighs and looks Misty in the eyes.
Shio: Misty I need to tell you something.
