Ch. 8
"...the repercussions of the uprising could still be seen to this day!" Itachi followed the movements of Prof, Oobleck, no, Dr. Oobleck, like he preferred to be called swiftly moving from one place to another "Now! Have any of you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
Itachi knew that a few students had risen their hands, including Velvet, who he was sitting right next to had slowly risen hers. The girl had thanked him for helping her out with Cardin before and had given him some carrots which he accepted as she offered the seat next to hers which was at the front of the class.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" Dr. Oobleck took a sip of his coffee "I mean, I mean, just look at what happened to the White Fang!" he had moved to a different part of the class again "Now, which one of you young scholars what many theorists believe to be the turning point in the third year war?"
Weiss rose her hand. "The battle at Fort Castle!
"Precisely!" he said now behind his desk "And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"
"Hey!" Jaune said being woken up from his nap by the wad of paper Cardin flicked at him
"Mr. Ark, finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"
"Uhhh...the answer..." Jaune looked passed Dr. Oobleck at the other students as Pyrrha and Itachi began gesturing to their eyes "The advantage...of the Faunus...had over that guy's stuff...Um...B-binoculars!" he answered
Itachi sighed. Pyrrha sighed and face palmed. Most of the other students laughed as Cardin laughed the hardest.
"Very funny, Mr. Ark!" Dr. Oobleck moved from in front of Jaune back to his desk taking another sip of his coffee "Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!"
"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Cardin responded
"He just doesn't learn." Itachi said only for Velvet and Blake to hear him
"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" Pyrrha said turning to face him
"What? You got a problem?" Cardin asked her
"No, I have the answer." Pyrrha turned to face forward once more "It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark" She answered as Cardin growled.
"General Lagune was inexperienced and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep." Itachi chimed in
"His massive army was outmatched, and the General was captured." Blake chimed in after Itachi "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure." Blake had directed that comment at Cardin who stood up in anger
"Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat." Dr. Oobleck said while Jaune snickered as he then moved in front of Jaune "You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings."
Dr. Ooblecks class was over and Itachi was walking out with Blake and Weiss as Nanami walked with Ren and Nora.
"You go on ahead. I'll wait for Jaune." Pyrrha told her team who nodded in response
"Help him someway." Itachi told the spartan "He may listen and accept your help instead of mine."
Pyrrha nodded. "I'll figure something out."
Itachi left the Spartan and continued with the others.
"He moves around too much." Weiss said
"Maybe it's all the coffee he drinks." Blake guessed
"He needs some tea." Itachi said as the two girls looked at him "What?"
"Didn't know you liked tea." Weiss responded
"I should have some tea in our room, if you'd like some?" Blake offered
Itachi nodded. "I appreciate the offer, but I have some things I must take care of."
"Oh, okay." Blake said
Itachi noticed her bow that her ears had slumped down slightly.
"But, if the offer still stands for a later time or date, then I would greatly appreciate it."
Blake looked up at him and smiled lightly. "Of course, just come over when you can."
Itachi nodded before bidding the two girls a good day.
Itachi and Ruby were walking through the courtyard heading back to their rooms when they had overheard Cardin and his team laughing. The two didn't pay them any attention, but Cardin had noticed them and turned to face the two as he stood in their way.
"If it isn't lover boy." Cardin said as the two halted "So, you had enough of the damaged goods from her team?" Cardin pointed at Ruby
"Damaged goods?" Itachi questioned keeping his stoic demeanor "What could you possibly be referring to, Cardin?"
"You know the one with the scar." Cardin replied as his group snickered
"How dare you say that about Weiss!" Ruby shouted "If you make fun of her scar again, you'll pay for it!"
"There is nothing damaged about her." Itachi said as he took a step forward "If anything, the scar over her eye represents when life tried to keep her down, but she was stronger and kept pushing forward and fought to be the woman she currently is." Cardin glared at Itachi "Now if that is all you have to say, please move out of our way."
Cardin glared at him as one of his teammates lunged forward at Itachi, but Ruby moved in between them and punched the boy, but her attack wasn't strong enough to knock him down.
The other two charged forward, but Itachi grabbed Cardin's shoulder and shove him to the side where he collided wit the boy Ruby had punched as he then stood in front of Ruby. Itachi waited as the two grew closer and both were about to punch him when he slapped their arms to the side before grabbing their heads and colliding them against each other. The two were dazed as Cardin was going to attack but Ruby jumped on him from behind and started punching him in the head.
"Stop this immediately!"
Itachi turned to see Glynda coming towards them, eyes narrowed, and riding crop in hand.
Ruby immediately removed herself from Cardin and stood beside Itachi.
"Anyone wish to explain what is going on here?" Glynda questioned the group
"Cardin and his team were making fun of Weiss!" Ruby said
Glynda sighed. "Miss Rose, there is no reason to fight because of an exchange of words."
"But, but, they started it!" Ruby pointed at Team CRDL
"Everyone here, including your teams will be grounded for a week!" Glynda stated as she turned to face Itachi "I expected better of you Mr, Uchiha."
"Did you expect me to not defend myself?" Itachi questioned her "Had it been just words, we would've simply brushed them off, but when we were physically targeted, did you expect me to do nothing and let them attack Ruby and I?"
"Yo-"
"I may not like fighting, but I will not sit aside while a friend could get hurt and I had the chance to stop it." Itachi cut her off as he walked past her along with Ruby "Now if you may excuse us, we will be heading back to the dorm as we were originally doing." Itachi didn't look back but he could see Ruby sticking her tongue out at Team CRDL
"Weiss is going to be mad." Ruby said as she looked up at him "Is Nanami going to be mad at you?"
"No, she'll be glad to have a reason to stay in and sleep." Itachi replied as Ruby giggled
Two Hours Later
Itachi sat at the desk in Team RWBYs room as he and Ruby explained to Blake and Yang, who had just arrived a few minutes earlier, the reason they all were grounded.
Itachi told Nanami earlier, whom like he guessed went straight to bed while giving him a thumbs up.
"That sucks." Yang said
Blake nodded as she kept reading her book. A second later, Weiss had stormed into the room looking pretty angry as she stood in front of Ruby.
"How Childish! I can't believe it!" Weiss shouted hands on her hips "You're the leader, Ruby! What were you thinking?!" Yang covered her ears as Blake looked up from her book "I heard you got into a fight with Cardin! You better explain yourself!" And then she glared at Itachi "And I thought you were better than to engage in petty squabbles!"
"I-It wasn't our fault! He picked a fight with us!" Ruby responded
"It doesn't matter who started it, you're our leader! I don't want to hear excuses! Ruby, do you even understand how much trouble you've caused us?!" Weiss pointed a finger at her and Itachi "It was you two who got into a fight, but both teams have been grounded for a week. I was planning on going into the city to shop this weekend and I had reservations at an impossible to get into cafe!"
"I-I'm sorry!" Ruby said
"Do you think apologizing is enough?"
"Weis-"
"Quiet you." Weiss glared at Itachi "You should've avoided this from happening! How could you actually follow along to these childish antics?!"
"Weiss, he wa-"
"Ruby keeps acting like a child because you two spoil her!" Weiss looked at Itachi and Yang "She may be your little sister, and she may remind you of someone close to you, but this is the academy! You two can't keep treating her like a baby!"
"Weiss, it's not their fault, so please don't talk to them like that." Ruby stood in front of Itachi and Yang "It was-"
"I won't let this effect my evaluation." Weiss turned away and opened the door "I'm going to take it up with the teachers!"
"Weiss, wait, I'll go with you..." Ruby said
"Please don't." Weiss then pointed at Itachi "And you stay put." Weiss slammed the door shut
"Yang!" Ruby said as she turned to hold onto her older sister
"Okay, okay. Don't cry." Yang patted her head "I'm proud you tried to hold back."
Itachi stood from the chair and walked past Ruby.
"Where are you going?" Ruby asked her eyes watering
"When have I ever let Weiss tell me what to do?"
With Weiss
She was walking down a hall lost in her thought and not looking where she was going as she was about to round a corner but had hit something and ended up falling back.
"Watch where you're going!"
"Cardin!" Weiss glared at him
"What? You wanna fight?"
"Fortunately for you, I don't engage in uncivilized behavior like Ruby does." Weiss stood back up and smirked "I know you and your team have a bone to pick with Itachi, Although I wonder, why would you fight such a little child?"
Cardin laughed. "You may think you're hot stuff being the Schnee Dust Company's heiress, but you're still damaged goods
"Cardin!" They heard as something had past in between them swiftly, they both looked back and saw Ruby with her Scythe ready "Didn't I tell you, if you made fun of Weiss's scar again, you'd pay for it!"
They felt a wave of wind passing them again as in blinding speed Itachi had appeared behind Ruby, his hand on her Scythe as he folded it back to its compact form.
"Hey!" They heard from behind a door as it began to slowly open "What's going on out there?!"
Itachi grabbed Ruby as he then grabbed onto Weiss and he ran from the scene before they could get caught. Itachi stopped and placed the two girls down once they were outside near the fountain.
"I don't believe you two! Swinging a weapon inside a school building?! You could be expelled for that if they had seen you!" Weiss yelled at Ruby as she then faced Itachi as she poked him in the chest "And I told you to stay put!" Itachi grabbed her finger and removed it from his chest as he let go "Tell me, did you two get in a fight with CRDL over me?"
Ruby started to sniff as she then started to cry. "We were coming back to the room when they stopped us and badmouthed you, Itachi had handled it with words, but when I saw one of Cardins' teammates about to attack Itachi, I just couldn't hold back."
"You are such an idiot, if you think you did it for me, you're sorely mistaken." Weiss said walking up to Ruby as she looked up at her "This scar on my face... I've had it for a long time, I'm used to hearing about it."
"We all have scars, be it physical or mental they eventually heal..." Itachi started as he turned away from the girls "I may not have been scarred like Weiss or others, but..." Itachi paused looking up in the sky, Weiss noticed the slight tremble in his hand "...I believe my scars may never truly heal..." Itachi had whispered the last part before walking away.
Weiss had heard him clearly. "Itachi..."
Itachi stopped and gave them a light smile, but Weiss had a tight grip on her skirt, her hand trembling. Weiss knew the smile was fake, because she too had used such smile in many occasions, because that smile he gave them was of a person who has been alone, alone for too long...
Back in their room, Team RWBY was getting ready for bed as Weiss finished up the last part of her homework.
"So what did you and Itachi do after class?" Yang questioned Ruby
"Yeah, you two left immediately, didn't tell us anything." Blake said
"He was helping me train." Ruby answered
"Train?" Weiss questioned
Ruby nodded. "Without my Crescent Rose, I can't hold my own in a fight, so he was teaching me some hand to hand combat." Ruby lay on her bed staring at the ceiling "He said that Blake and I would fit in and adapt to his fighting style."
"Me?" Blake questioned
"Yeah, he didn't go into much detail since I was really excited to learn something new!"
"If you wanted to learn how to fight, you could've asked me." Yang said
"Itachi said that your style relies heavily on power and raw strength, which I don't really have." Ruby giggled
"Hmm..." Weiss hummed
Ruby used her elbows to support herself as she looked at Weiss. "I'm sorry about you having to miss going to that cafe you had a reservation to."
Weiss sighed. "It's fine, I'll just find another day to go..."
Weiss cleaned her desk and was setting everything away when she opened one of the desk drawers. She spotted an envelope she didn't recognize as hers. She opened the envelope and her eyes widened when she pulled out a reservation to that same Cafe she wanted to go to for the weekend after their punishment was over.
Her brows furrowed and wondered who could've put this in her drawer, she knew it couldn't have been her team since they knew nothing about it until today and it would be extremely difficult to impossible for them to get one for a date so soon. Then her eyes widened once more before they went soft and she smiled. Itachi had been sitting at her desk earlier, he was the only one who could've slipped it in here without anyone noticing, and he was the only one who had interest in that Cafe as she did.
"Weiss, you okay?" Ruby asked
"Yeah!" Weiss cheerfully said as she placed the reservation back into the envelope and brought it with her to bed as she set it under her pillow
Yang rose a brow as she whispered. "Your partner is creeping me out."
"I can hear you!" Weiss shouted
"Oops." Yang scratched her head and laughed
Itachi had noticed how Jaune had been returning rather late to his team for the past week or two, so when he felt Jaunes' aura signature, he got out of bed and made his way out the room.
"It's late, where are you going?" a drowsy Nanami asked before putting a finger up "Wait, let me guess, it's either the Schnee or the Kitty."
Itachi rose a brow. "I want to ask why you would assume I would be going out this late to see with them, but no, I actually need to speak with Jaune."
Nanami shook her head. "Men." She muttered as she had fallen back to sleep
Itachi walked out of the room and closed the door as Ruby was about to walk back into her room, but stopped.
"Hey, Itachi." Ruby scratched her head "You should be more careful, walking around without a shirt, Yang may see you."
"I have already experienced Yangs actions to seeing me like this." Itachi told the younger girl
"I'm sorry." Ruby said as she walked back into her room.
"Jaune."
"Oh, hey Itachi, why are you out here so late?" Jaune questioned nervously
"I wanted to sp-" Itachi stopped as Jaunes' scroll rang "Go ahead and answer, I'll wait."
"No, I'll call back later." Jaune nervously chuckled
Itachi narrowed his eyes. "I insist."
Jaune gulped and opened his scroll.
"Hey! It's your buddy Cardin. I know you're probably busy with that dust project I gave you, buuut I'm gonna need you to go out and get me a bag of rapier wasps. And make sure they've got some reaaally big stingers. It's important, so don't screw this up!"
Jaune didn't want to look at Itachi as he closed his scroll.
"You want to start explaining why you're doing Cardins work and why you're fetching rapier wasps for him at this time?" It wasn't really a question
"Cardin and I are fri-"
"Jaune, you can't lie to me." Itachi said walking past Jaune "Follow me."
"Where we going?" Jaune asked but Itachi didn't respond
They were out in the courtyard making their way to the forest as Itachi spoke up.
"Talk and don't try to lie."
Jaune sighed. "Cardin overheard me telling Pyrrha that I had used fake transcripts to get into Beacon, and now he has me on a leash."
"Why didn't you confide in Pyrrha and your team earlier?" Itachi asked looking back at him "You could've asked me for help as well."
"I..." Jaune slumped "I didn't want anyone to find out."
"You must confide in your team, in your friends and ask for help." Itachi said as they entered the forest "I knew someone who thought they could do everything on their own." Jaune looked at Itachi "Because he thought there was no one he could confide in, that his friends, his colleagues wouldn't be able to help, he would always keep to himself, then one night what he tried to stop and avoid from happening, happened." Itachi looked up at the shattered moon glowing through the trees
"What happened?" Jaune asked
"He failed." Itachi answered and looked around "He lost people, people close to him, he lost his friends, family, everyone, because he thought he was strong enough to take everything on by himself, and in the end he was a failure and died years later."
"..."
"What I'm trying to say is, you have people around you that genuinely care and worry about you." Itachi grabbed a rock from the ground and held the box Jaune was holding in the other "Trust in your friends, don't drive them away, don't end up like he did."
Itachi threw the rock at a wasps nest as many came flying out. Itachi opened the lid and began collecting the wasps in the box swiftly before any could sting him or Jaune. Once he had enough Itachi placed the lid back on the box and handed it back to Jaune as they headed back to the dorm.
"I'm sure Ruby has already talked to you as well, so I won't say anything further." Itachi stopped at Team JNPR's door and turned to look at Jaune "You decide what you do with your life and what decisions you make." Itachi turned and walked towards his room
"Itachi." Jaune called out to him as Itachi faced him before entering his room "Thank you."
Itachi nodded before entering the room.
"Yes students, the Forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful, but we are not here to sight-see." Prof. Goodwitch lead the students through the forest "Professor peaches asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure that none of you die while doing so."
Nanami was talking with Yang as Itachi walked alongside Ren. They had come to a stop as Glynda turned to face them all.
"Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap, however, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at four o'clock. Have fun!"
"I'm going to hang with Yang and her team!" Nanami told Itachi who dismissed her with a wave
He walked alongside Pyrrha as they both turned to face Jaune who didn't follow but instead went with Team CRDL. Itachi had noticed the box he held was the box containing the wasps he had collected the night before. He also noticed seven jars instead of five for that group. Itachi had an idea for what they were for and hoped Jaune would come to his senses if he hasn't already.
"He's still hanging out with his "Buddy"" Pyrrha said
"Ruby and I spoke with him." Itachi stated
"You did?"
"Hn."
Pyrrha sighed. The group had collected their red sap as the met with Team RWBY who was finishing theirs as well, but Ren and Itachi were refilling two jars because Nora and Nanami decided to taste and ultimately chug the red sap.
"We're supposed to be taking them back to collect data, not to drink it." Ren told Nora
"Don't even say anything, because you have a sweet tooth, and you know you want some." Nanami told Itachi
"Wait, you have a sweet tooth?" Weiss asked
"Yeah he does!" Nanami shook her head "He makes these deserts he calls "Dango" and literally eats them all and doesn't like to share!"
"You can make Dango?" Blake asked as she drooled slightly
Itachi nodded. "And I do share."
"You gave me one Dango stick!" Nanami shouted and flailed her arms "They were like a piece of Heaven and you wouldn't share anymore with me!"
"He makes killer pancakes too!" Nora chimed in as she began drooling
"And cookies!" Ruby drooled as well
"Wait!" Yang said as they all looked at her "All of you have eaten his cooking?"
Everyone but Blake and Weiss nodded.
"This is unbelievable!" Weiss looked at Itachi "Why haven't we had any?"
"I've sent cookies with Ruby for you three." Itachi stated
Ruby was trying to escape, but Yang had grabbed onto her hood.
"There something you want to tell us, little sister?" Yang questioned
"Has she not told you about the breakfast and dinner that Itachi makes sometimes for all of us?" Nanami asked the rest of Team RWBY "We had fried shrimp rice, some squid, fish, lobster, and more last week. And that's not including desserts."
"F-Fish?!" Blake glared at Ruby
"So much food." Yang smiled darkly
"Desserts!" Weiss glared at Ruby
Ruby laughed nervously. "Oops!"
Itachi chuckled but stopped when he caught sight of Cardin throwing a jar of red sap at him while Jaune threw the other jar at Cardin through the reflection of Pyrrhas' shield. Itachi had known that they were being watched but didn't let it show and waited for Cardin and his group to act. Itachi caught the jar of red sap as everyone turned to face him.
"Who threw that?" Weiss questioned
"Cardin." Itachi answered
Itachi jumped up the slope where Cardin and his team were hiding but they had already gone deeper in the forest. Itachi and the others heard screams and saw most of Cardins team run towards them shouting Ursa. Itachi ran towards the clearing where he saw Jaune protecting Cardin from the Ursa.
Itachi didn't make a move as the Ruby, Weiss and Pyrrha caught up but he and Pyrrha stopped them and let Jaune take care of the Ursa by himself. Jaune and the Ursa were going for the final blow, but Jaune had his shield to low and the Ursa would have gotten him, but Pyrrha used her semblance to move Jaunes' shield higher and block the attack.
"Uh, what?" Ruby questioned
"How did you...?" Weiss started
"Polarity." Itachi stated
Pyrrha nodded. "Ruby has her speed..." Pyrrha looked at Weiss "And you have your glyphs, My semblance as Itachi stated is Polarity."
"Ah, you can control poles." Ruby said
"No, you dunce! It means she has control over magnetism." Weiss told Ruby
"Magnets are cool, too." Ruby said
Pyrrha and Itachi started walking away.
"Hey where are you going?" Weiss questioned the two
"Yeah, we gotta tell them what happened." Ruby said
"We could." Pyrrha started "Or, perhaps, we could keep it our little secret."
Itachi gestured Ruby towards him and when she did she was poked on the forehead.
"Hey!" Ruby pouted "What was that for?"
"Come on, Ren and I are making pancakes tonight." Itachi said
"Wait, what's that about?" Weiss asked
"What's what about?" Ruby questioned
"The forehead thing." Weiss answered
"I don't know." Ruby replied
"Of course you wouldn't know." Weiss turned to Itachi "So?"
"It's something I used to do to my little brother, Ruby reminds me of how he used to be." Itachi answered
"You told me you had a younger brother." Weiss said crossing her arms "What's he like to have Ruby remind you of him?"
Itachi gestured her the same way he had with Ruby.
Weiss narrowed her eyes. "You're not thinking about doing that are you?"
Itachi didn't say anything. Weiss sighed and moved closer, but when she got at the distance Itachi tapped his two fingers on her forehead.
"Hey!" Weiss shouted
"Maybe next time." Itachi said as he walked away from them
"Aww Weiss, now you don't have to be jealous." Ruby smiled
"What are you talking about, you child!" Weiss shouted as she blushed and huffed but not before taking a quick look at his retreating form
Pyrrha had rose a brow at her reaction as she followed her line of sight, her eyes ending on Itachi. Pyrrha looked back at Weiss noticing the red on her cheeks, as she then started giggling.
"What's so funny, Pyrrha?!" Weiss asked
Pyrrha smiled. "Oh nothing." She replied and turned to walk away "Good luck, Weiss."
"What are you talking about?!" Weiss questioned but the redhead simply waved
"Has your sister told you that I will be getting the weapons checked during break at the end of the semester?" Itachi questioned his partner
Nanami spit out the milk she was drinking which ended up spraying Itachi in the face and soaking his shirt. Nanami moved away from Itachi who blinked a few times before grabbing a towel.
"I'll take that as a no." He said
"S-sorry..." Nanami laughed nervously
"It's fine."
"You're not mad?"
"No." He said as he grabbed some clothes "If you could finish washing the dishes, I believe it would be best if I showered."
The way he had said expressed no emotion. He was as stoic and plain as the first few days they had partnered up.
As Itachi was about to close the door but he turned to her and smiled. "Make sure you get plenty of rest tonight, I'm slightly increasing the training tomorrow."
Nanamis' eyes widened. That smile scared her, there was something hidden under it. She felt a cold shiver going down her spine as she quickly finished washing the dishes and changed into her sleeping wear and jumped into bed and made her way under the sheets.
Nanami closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but his smile kept appearing in her mind. She snuggled her blanket and wrapped herself in it like a burrito. Nanami was getting comfortable, but she heard something in the restroom fall and some coughing. Nanami tried undoing the blanket but couldn't as she ended up rolling off the bed. She quickly got off the floor and ran to the door as she banged on it.
"Itachi, you okay in there?" She shouted
There was no answer for a few seconds and she was getting ready to break the door down, but before she could charge, the door opened and revealed Itachi who was drying his hair with a towel. Itachi looked at her with a questioning look and his toothbrush in his mouth.
"Are you okay?" Nanami asked as she moved around him looking him up and down "I thought you had fallen an-"
"I didn't fall, nothing fell." Itachi cut her off "You're tired, get some rest."
Nanami kept her eyes on his before letting out a sigh. "Maybe I am tired." She said as she walked back to bed grabbing her blanket from the floor.
Nanami heard Itachi close the door once again as he finished brushing his teeth. Nanami narrowed her eyes at the wall, he may have denied the fall, but there was something that he couldn't hide from her, and it was the smell of blood.
Class had ended and the students were all leaving, but Blake had noticed Nanami hadn't moved from her spot and was slouching in her seat.
"Are you okay?" Blake questioned her
"Slightly my ass." Nanami grumbled
"Nanami."
Nanami whipped her head up. "I can't feel my legs because of you and I feel like gravity has gotten five times stronger!" she pointed a finger at him before leaning forward and smacked her head on the desk "Is this payback for spitting all that milk on you last night!"
"No."
"Bullshit!"
"Umm..." Blake said
"I slightly increased her training."
"Ah." Blake nodded "Is she going to be okay?"
"Nanami."
"What?" She pouted
"Do you want me to carry you?" He questioned
Nanami nodded. "Please?"
Itachi grabbed his partner and carried her on his back. Blake smiled and walked with them.
"Maybe it was too much..." Itachi said
Nanami shook her head. "I'll be fine next time." she said as she looked to the side and had seen Blake glancing at them from the side of her eyes "Hey Itachi..."
"Hm?"
"You always smell like Schnee..." She stated which piqued Blakes interest as Nanami saw her bow twitch slightly and she smirked "...but now your scent has changed to Schnee and a kitten."
Itachi didn't say anything. Nanami grinned as she saw Blake look away.
They walked back to the room in silence. Itachi had set Nanami in her bed. Nanami noticed Blake had entered as well and that Itachi was grabbing a jacket from the closet.
"You going somewhere?" She asked
"I promised Blake I would accompany her into Vale to get some sushi, since they don't serve any here on Campus." Itachi answered as they walked out of the room
"Fish are friends! Not food!" They heard her shout from inside the room
That's another one down! Thanks for reading! And thank you all who look forward to a new chapter! Everyone's reviews are wonderful and it really helps me and many other authors to keep going!
Mr. Haziq- I guess you could call them knock offs, but they are made differently with some extra weaponry and transformations.
Greer123- It won't be the last time he'll have to give her a talk.
Max Moreno- The blade can not regenerate itself due to them being forged by a special metal or element that is not available in the world of Remnant. Itachi was and still is considered a master, and I'm sure Kisame and Juzo(he was Itachi's first partner who wielded the Executioner Blade before Zabuza) had told him.
FunCrazyMan911- I believe you mean like they did with Salem.
The Real Hell Fire- He'll most likely tell it to a single person at first before going up and telling a whole group, I guess it just depends on the situation that they find themselves in.
That one Kitsune- Thank you! He won't be able to hide his Sharingan for much longer, and by doing so, they would end up realizing that he is Reaper, the reason he tries to not use it around them. His past will not be revealed for a while it's still to soon.
CjHoax- You're right, but it kinda sounds weird "Love Angle" lol is there a better term we could use?
keybladelight- Thank you. I will confirm that Itachi and Adam will cross each other at some point. And yeah, I actually felt bad for Adam once I saw what they had done to him, but in the end he got what he deserved.
Neema Amiry- Thank you.
razmire- Ah okay, I understand. Well, the curse mark that Orochimaru created holds a piece of his sage chakra and during the war, Sasuke brought him back after he and Itachi defeated Kabuto. Orochimaru was still alive in Ankos' curse mark and Sasuke used Kabuto sage flesh and undid the curse mark on Anko causing Orochimaru to come out of the mark. It is quite sad that even in real life to this day it happens all across the globe. I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Heroaki- Thank you! I have thought about it, but RWBY doesn't really focus much on romance and doesn't really give or imply anything about any adult activities being done in the series, other than drinking knowing who had babies with who and stuff. So I honestly don't know if a lemon would fit in with the series. In another story I have I didn't write a lemon, but it started building up to where I cut it off at a point and let the readers imagine what happened, if anything maybe I'd do that in this one.
