Well here it is, my present to you guys. A new longest chapter. Sorry if some of it feels a bit rushed, I know that my writing gives that off quite a bit, but that's just because of lack of experience. Anyways, I mentioned a person named Eisenhower last chapter I think, so I need a look for him along with a weapon. His semblance has been chosen, and I know what his personality will be. If you want to make his appearance and or weapons feel free to pm me. Keep in mind he is in his mid 30s and not as old as Ike. That's all I have for now until the bottom AN so enjoy :D
Ike sat in Professor Port's class as nervous as ever. Why you might ask? Because there was an insane blond who was ready to murder him as soon as the bell rang. Yes, today was the day Yang would attempt to pulverize Ike. The only thing that motivated the tang wielder to go through with this was the knowledge he was doing this for Ruby. He looked over at the blond, who continued to stare at him. And it wasn't some cute stare either. It was the kind of stare a hunter gives its prey before it murders it. "Alright Ike, just calm down. If you let her in your head then you're done for." He was right these we're the mental games Yang was trying to play.
"Yang leave him alone. I'm sure he's already worried about today." Ruby whispered to her sister.
"Oh, I hope he is. The more paranoid he is the easier this will be." She replied
Port then came in and saved the day for a moment. He cleared his throat loudly and earned everyone's attention. "Miss. Xiao Long. Will you please stop staring at Mr. Mers and pay attention?" Yang turned in her seat and faced the teacher once again. "Thank you. Now as I was saying Lazer and I were stuck in a deep mine, along with my pet cow Edgar. We faced certain doom as Vav talked about what type of music my child liked." Then Yang stopped caring and began to play mind games with Ike, again. The bell finally rang, but Blue couldn't tell if he was happy, or horrified. The blond would finally stop trying to play with his head, but know she was going to try to kill him.
"I wonder if I had just asked her first if this would be happening." He thought to himself. The answer came almost instantly. "Yes." Ike retrieved his weapons from his room and changed into his normal attire. As he slowly approached the training room Ike constantly told himself that he could win, and took deep breaths in and out. He opened the door to see Yang, reloading her weapons. The rest of tea RWBY and team JNPR were there as well, but that was it.
Ike walked over to Ruby and whispered, "Wow, I expected a lot more people."
"Yang told everyone that if they came, she'd kill them too."
"Oh, well that's… pleasant. So you think I can win?"
"Definitely, I've seen you fight. Yang doesn't have a chance." Ruby replied.
"Thanks." The tang wielder responded with a smile. Ruby stuck out her lips for a kiss, but didn't get one. Instead she got Ike telling her, "Ruby, I would love to kiss you right now, but I'm pretty sure that'd motivate Yang even more."
"Ya, well good luck!" Ruby gave him a quick hug, and then back out of the ring.
Ike and Yang stood a few feet apart, both of them giving death stares. "Remember Ike, she's all close combat. Stay back, dodge her shots, and fire arrows."
Ren walked in between the two and said. "You guys ready?" They both nodded. "Alright then." He raised his hand and silently said. "Please don't kill each other." He then dropped his hand and yelled, "Begin."
Normally Yang would've circled her opponent, waiting for them to make the first move, but she was too mad to care. She instantly charged at Ike, with a fist raised ready to end this fight soon. Ike saw this coming though, and side stepped out of the way. As Yang's fist flew past his face, he grabbed her wrist and threw her forward. This knocked her off balance, which Ike saw as an opening. He went for a kick to her back, but Yellow turned and caught is foot in the air. She gave him an evil smile and then threw his foot forward, turning Ike into a tornado.
While he spun Yang got into her boxer stance and waited for the right time to strike. As soon as Ike stopped he received a hard hit to the stomach, that was amplified back a shotgun shell. This caused Ike to go tumbling to the edge of the ring. Ike was slow to get up, but eventually did. A look of determination in his eyes. "Come on lover boy. You gotta put up more of a fight than that." The brawler taunted.
"You haven't seen anything yet." Lover boy replied with a smile. He then notched an arrow to his bow and began firing at Yang. Yang replied to this by firing rounds into each arrow, destroying them. The archer knew his tactic was futile, but had a plan. He notched a fire arrow and launched it at his opponent. She shot this one down again, triggering a massive fireball in the middle of the arena. Ike then charged at the fireball and jumped through, changing Aeolus into Ichor and Nero inside.
Yang couldn't even see the teen, before he was right in front of her. He launched a barrage of slashes with his blade, none aimed to kill, just to maim. Each attack was blocked, but it was obvious Ike had the upper hand. Eventually Ike broke through Yang's defenses. He spun and connected Ichor one of her gauntlets, however the blue haired teen over powered her, and pushed her to balancing on one foot. He then landed a kick to her left side, picking her up off the ground and slamming her back down.
Blue jumped into the air and spun as he went for a heel drop, but Yang blocked and pushed him away. Yang then rushed at him and tried for a right hook, but Ike stopped it with Ichor and then delivered a spinning kick. Ike didn't let up though as he changed forward slashing at Yang. The blonde's body dodged, but one part of her didn't. Her hair. Ike cut cleanly through a few locks, which didn't change the girl's appearance at all. It did change her mind set through. Everything froze, except for the few stands as they fell to the ground. "Oh, no." Ike said to nobody in particular.
"Now you're gonna pay!" Yang roared as flames clung to her body, and in her eyes. Ike made as much distance as he could, and changed back to Aeolus. He then shot a flurry of arrows at Yang, who dodged all of them as she charged at him. When the brawler reached the archer, she slammed her fist into his stomach. Ike doubled over in pain, but she wasn't done yet. She then picked up the tang wielder and threw him to the other side of the arena.
Ike got back up and launched an arrow at Yang, but she side stepped it and grabbed it out of the air. She then broke the wooden shaft with one hand, and charged at Ike. The blond unleashed a barrage of punches that nobody alive could've blocked. Ike was finally given an opening, and gave her a boot to the face, throwing her to the ground. Before she hit though she caught herself on her right hand and delivered a hard kick to Ike's chest, probably breaking a rib or two. Ike steadied himself and looked up just in time to see Yang throw a right hook into his jaw, which flipped him.
He landed on his back, with Yang directly over him. Blue notched a fire arrow and shot it. Yang was too close to do anything, as the arrow hit her chest erupting into a fireball. Ike managed to roll out of the way, but Yang was flung into the ceiling and landed back on the ground. Hard. She looked up at Ike she saw nothing but pure determination. It was obvious that her mind games had done nothing.
She picked herself back up from the floor with a smile on her face. It wasn't an evil one though. It was one that showed that she was proud of Ike. Blue looked over towards the board that displayed the aura levels for the combatants. Both his and the blonde's aura levels were extremely close to red. One more decent hit from either would end this fight. Yang knew this as well, so she charged forward hoping to land the final blow.
The archer locked an ice arrow into place, and shot at the ground, forming a wall of ice directly in front of the blonde. The heat radiating from Yang melted the ice just a bit, then she launched herself at it. She demolished the wall of ice, and ended up tackling Ike in the process, but both teen's auras stayed in the yellow. Blue kicked Yellow off of him and switched back to his blades.
He launched a flurry of slashes at his foe, until she was so confused she didn't even see him jump into the air. There was a brief second of total confusion for the brawler, then fear. Ike placed his feet against the ceiling, and launched himself back at Yang. She looked up in time to see the blunt end of Ichor slam into her head. The two rolled onto the ground and right as the brawler was about to get up, Ike placed the tip of his blade against her throat.
The boy smiled and simply said, "Win."
Ren then came back into the ring saying. "Yang's aura has fallen into the red, and in a real life fight she would now be dead. Ike is the winner."
Ike helped Yang up and said to her. "That was the toughest fight I've ever had."
"I could say the same about you hot stuff." She replied with a smile.
Then Ruby ran up to Ike and gave him a huge hug. "See I told you you could do it!"
Ike simply laughed and hugged her back. "Ya, you did. Thanks for the support."
Ruby then looked over to Yang with her puppy dog eyes and said. "So does this mean we get to go on our date?" She added a sweet tone to seal the deal.
Yang tried to stare her down, but she was no match for the scythe wielder. "Ugh, ya fine. Just don't be making out in front of me." The blonde then walked over to the rest of her team.
"Bring you down a peg did he?" Blake asked her partner.
"Shut up."
Ike then returned his focus on Red, who said. "I think you still owe me something."
"I almost forgot." He said with a smile, right before he kissed her.
"WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!" Yang yelled out. Ruby turned towards her sister and said.
"You said no making out. You didn't say anything about kissing." The younger girl then stuck out her tongue towards her sister, who stuck out her tongue back.
"As much as I would love to stay here and tease your sister, I have some plans to go make." Blue commented.
"Ya, I figured as much." Ruby gave him another quick kiss before they said their goodbyes.
Yang had to have the final word though and yelled out. "If you ever give me another haircut, I'll kill you, Ike!" Her only answer was a small chuckle from Ike, which infuriated her and made her smile. He then walked out the door, letting what aura he had left heal his wounds.
Ike began planning for the date the moment he got back to his room. He did have an issue though. He knew Ruby didn't want to do anything too special, which meant that going to a very fancy restaurant was out of the running. Another issue was Ike didn't have much money. With no job and no family, all he had was what was left from his days at the organization. Finally, he needed to make sure he didn't under-do it. Going to a fast food restaurant wouldn't get him a second date. Plenty of ideas raced through his mind as the days came and went. There was the thought of going out to the beach, but then again there wasn't a beach close by. All access to the water was either cliffs or ports. Then again he could take her to one of the cliffs for a picnic, but that seemed a bit cheesy and impersonal. Then one day in precision shooting class Ike had an idea. "Got it!" He stood up and yelled. Unknowing that he just volunteered for something.
"Excellent." Professor Burns stated."Now Mr. Mers if you'll stand in front of the target I can explain."
Ike groaned and trudged up to the front of the classroom. He stood directly in front of the target, which seemed to annoy the teacher a bit. "Mr. Mers how am I supposed to shoot around you if you stand inches from the target. Move about halfway between me and my mark." Ike took a few steps forward, even though he didn't want to. Professor Burns aimed down the sights of his rifle and said, "Remember class, to bend the projectile you must flow your aura into it. Then you will be able to control its direction."
Burns let a bit of his aura flow into the gun, and fired. The bullet somehow curved around Ike, but he could still feel the wind coming off of it. He turned around to see the target with a single hole in it. "Now keep in mind you can only slightly change its direction. This mean no U-turning bullets." The bell then rang and all the students began piling out the door, but before Blue could get out the marksmen teacher called out. "Mr. Mers!" Ike turned around facing the man. "Next time don't day dream in my class, and I won't make my shot so close." He said with a smile. The tang wielder gave a forced laugh then bolted out the door before he could become target practice again.
Ike dropped his school supplies off in his room, and rushed to go catch the ship before it took off. He reached it just as it was about to take off, the ship pulling away from the docks, as the door slowly closed. The archer sprinted as fast as he could towards the ship, and leap off the edge of Beacon. He flattened himself out in midair, and rolled into the ship just as the door closed. Everyone looked at Ike like he was crazy. Ike simply put on a sheepish smile, and waved at the people. Only a few waved back.
As he walked down the street he called up a place he was certain Ruby would love. The café that made the best cookies. Well according to Ruby they did. He made sure that they would be open late enough for the two of them to get there. He then walked past a local movie theater, which was playing movies around the same time the café closed. "That's helpful." He thought to himself. Eventually he arrived at the store he was searching for. Scattered Petals. It was a flower shop that carried ever flower imaginable. He walked in, and instantly walked over to the counter. A woman stood behind it. She looked to be in her late 20s and had long brown hair, with blue eyes.
"Hi, how can I help you?" She asked.
"I'm actually looking for roses." He replied.
"Oooo, she must be special." The woman said, which caused Ike to blush a bit. She answered with a giggle, and said, "What color do you need?"
"I need a red and a blue one." Ike responded.
The woman disappeared behind the counter, and popped back up with the two flowers in hand. "That'll be 10 lien, please." Ike handed over the lien and quickly thanked her, before leaving. As he walked back down the street, Ike had another weird feeling. Almost like the day he fought Laurel, only a bit different. Like there was more than one set of eyes on him. Ike stopped in the street, and looked around him only to see cameras. Blue thought he was just being paranoid, and continued walking down the street. If only he knew that his sixth sense was right. While there wasn't anyone around looking at him, robotic eyes see just as well as human ones.
Finally it was the big day. Ike had gone through another one of Ozpin's lesson, only this one wasn't as odd. It was mainly just combat advice. Ike walked out of his room, armed with his roses. He thought about bringing some kind of weapon, but decided that would be weird. He knocked on team RWBY's door, which was instantly answered by Weiss. "Hey, Wei…" Casanova himself said, before being cut off.
"Ruby will be out in a minute. She's almost ready." Weiss quickly said before slamming the door in his face.
"Okay…" Ike said to the door. It was soon opened up again, but by a far more friendly face this time. It was Ruby, and even though she was dressed in her usual combat skirt, she looked as lovely as ever.
"Ready to go?" She asked.
"Yep." Ike said with his hands behind his back.
"Wait, what're you hiding?"
"These." Ike then pulled out the different colored roses.
"Awwwww." The remaining members of team RWBY said from the door, causing both teens to blush.
"Thanks, Ike." Ruby said taking the blue one and placing it in her hair. "Now, your rose will goooooo…." Ruby said looking for a spot. "Here." She then placed the rose in the smaller strap going across his chest."Now I think we can leave." Red said as she linked her arm in Ike's.
"Now that they're gone, time to begin operation falcon!" Yang announced to the rest of her team.
"Which is?" Blake asked dryly.
"Pretty much we follow those two to make sure Ike doesn't so much as harm a hair on Ruby's head."
"That seems a bit…" White said looking for the right word.
"Psychotic?" Black said.
"Ya, psychotic."
"Oh, come on." Yellow wined.
"Sorry, I'm not helping you and neither is Weiss." Blake said as she began to read again.
"Please," Yang continued attempting to copy Ruby's puppy dog eyes.
"Nope."
"Fine, then I'll just do it by myself." Yang pouted.
"Have fun." The raven haired girl said, without looking up from her book. Yang slammed the door shut and began to follow after the couple.
The ship finally landed, and Ike escorted Ruby to the first stop of the night. "So where are we headed." Ruby asked as she skipped alongside her date.
"It's a surprise." Ike replied with a smile.
"Aww, come on."
"Don't worry we're almost there." The pair then ran into another set of Beacon students. Michael and Lindsey.
"So Michael, are we going to Applebee's again?" The huntress-in-training asked.
"Nope, not this time. Now I have something better planned." Michael said confidently.
"Ohh, someone's a big spender." Lindsey said sarcastically.
"You know you're a real pain sometimes."
"Well it's nice to see those two together." Ike commented.
"Ya, they work well together. Michael's loud and Lindsey can take a punch."
"Literally or metaphorically?"
"Both." Then the pair finally reached they're destination. Sunrise Café the sign read. "Holy Monty I love this place!" Ruby squealed.
"I figured. You did say they have the best cookies."
"That they do. Now come on!" Red then drug Blue into the store.
The two sat down, and ordered. Ike chose to have a cup of coffee and a simple sandwich, while Ruby ordered a platter of cookies and milk.
"You know you are a little kid in a lot of ways." Ike said.
"I'm not a little kid. I drink milk!"
"Yes, I can tell."
Meanwhile on a nearby rooftop Yang was peering through the window with binoculars. "Just sitting there. Ike hasn't done anything." Yang thought to himself. "Wait! What was that?!" She screamed mentally as Ike brushed a piece of hair from Ruby's face. "Ugh maybe this was a waste of time. It's not like he'll do anything."
Eventually, the store had to close and the pair left, saying their thanks. "I had a really good time." Ruby said smiling.
"You say that like we're done."
"We aren't?"
"Nope one more stop." The man wearing the red rose said. The couple began walking towards the final stop, blissfully unaware of both of their followers. One with yellow hair, the other with black. As the couple on the ground casually walked towards Ike's final surprise. Above on the rooftops, the stalkers we're having difficulty keeping up with the two.
"Why are the building so far away?" Yang thought to herself. Eventually the duo stopped in front of the movie theater.
"A movie? Seems a bit regular." Red said.
"Ya, I thought it'd be a nice touch. We don't have regular lives, so I thought this would be nice."
"Good point, so which movie are we watching?" The girl with the blue rose asked.
"Your choice." Her date responded.
"Hmm… what about…" Ruby said as she looked at the options she had. "This one." She pointed towards a movie called Tornadoe.
"Alright." Ike said as he paid for the tickets. Luckily they had just ate, so he didn't have to pay for the ridiculously overpriced food. Apparently Ruby had read the book of the movie, so she already knew what happened at the end. Unfortunately Ike got lost somewhere in the movie and constantly asked questions, until Ruby told him that it'll all be explained at the end and to just watch the movie. Eventually he did and Red was thankful for it. As the credit rolled, Red and Blue left the building.
"So how'd you like it?" Ruby asked.
"Not terrible, but I didn't know that you liked cheesy movies." Ike said.
"Ya, it surprises a lot of…" Ruby was then silenced by a gunshot, and she knew it was meant for her. She closed her eyes, only she didn't feel anything. No pain, no numbness, just regular. When she opened her eyes she understood why. There was Ike standing in front of her. A single hole in his chest.
-Yang's Point of View-
"Well there's no way I can see into that building." The brawler thought. So she waited outside until the movie was over. After a couple of hour the happy couple walked back outside the theater. That's when Yang saw something that horrified her. A shot rang out in the silence of the night, and everything seemed to slow for Yang. She could see the bullet fly through the air, aimed right at Ruby. Ike must've been seeing the same thing, because right before the bullet hit the girl, Ike pivoted on his right foot. He put his body directly in front of Ruby. Stopping the bullet with his chest.
-Back to Ruby/Ike-
Ike lowered his head in pain, right before he collapsed onto his knees. Then onto the ground. "Oh Monty no. No, no, no, no, no. Ike you aren't dying like this." Ruby said panicked as tears flowed from her eyes. She dropped to her knees, and cradled the teen with the red rose in her arms. "Please don't leave me." She begged.
"Hey," The boy responded weekly. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." He said between coughs of blood. It was obvious he wouldn't make it if help didn't arrive soon. Ike then passed out due to the pain. Then a figure dropped in front of the two.
"Well, I missed the original shot. Probably should've used my semblance, but he still got hit. I suppose that's all that matters." Ruby looked up to see a boy around Ike's age stand there, with two guns and black hair. (So here's King of the Lion's OC) The teen had black messy hair, brown eyes, and silver earrings the right one shaped like a king's crown, the left a knight chess piece. He had a tan skin complexion, which suited him well. As for his clothes he wore a black, no sleeved, open hoodie, with a white shirt under that. On top of the clothes he had a holster, which was most likely for the guns in his hands. He also wore long, black pants and white shoes with white bottoms. His pistols looked like they were M9 Berettas, only they had a blade sticking straight out from the barrel. The one in his left hand was white, while the one in his right was black. "Well King took him out." The shooter held up the right handed pistol. "I guess Horse can take you out."
"Over my dead body!" Suddenly a flash of yellow landed on the shooter, and skidded to a stop in front of the couple. It was Yang, with flames lapping all over her body. More brilliant than ever. "Ruby, get Ike back to Beacon now!" She commanded. Ruby picked Ike up, and sprinted towards the school.
"Now, you're gonna pay for what you've done, but first who. are you!" Yang roared, with venom behind every word.
"Well, I might as well tell you, seeing as this will be your last fight. My name is Axel Young, and I was sent to kill that guy I just shot."
"But, why?!"
"Why? Do you not know yet? That kid has a huge bounty on his head, and I'm here to claim it."
"Well then, if you're going to do that. You'll have to kill me first!" The fiery blonde yelled.
"Sounds like a plan." Axel said as he raised his pistols. Young took a shot at Yang, who attempted dodge, but was still hit in the arm. Luckily Yang had her aura shields up, so the bullet did minimal damage. "Silly girl, did you not here me say anything about my semblance? I never miss!" The mercenary said almost mocking Yellow.
"I need a plan fast." Yang thought to herself. That's when an idea popped into her head. She charged at her foe, with her fire more intense than ever. Axel attempted to fire another shot, but the projectile simply melted before it hit her. "Have fun getting past that one!" Yang roared as she delivered a right hook to Axel's temple. He skidded on his feet, until he stopped.
The black haired boy then charged at Yang. Young led off with a swing of Horse, which was blocked by Yang's gauntlet. She then fired off a shot hoping to hit his jaw, but he brought his head back barely dodging the shot. He then slammed his head into Yang's causing her to stumble backwards a bit. He took advantage of this, and swung the blade of King at her. She jumped to the right, but still ended with a cut to her arm.
The blonde flared her aura, allowing it to heal the wound as she rushed back towards the black haired boy. Yellow went to throw her boot into the black haired boy but her foot was caught in the air. He then twisted her leg, and caused her to face plant in the ground. Axel then kicked Yang in the stomach, sending her sliding down the road. Yang pushed her hands off the ground, landing on her feet. The girl then skidded to a stop.
Yang rushed forward again, and led with a right jab, which Axel backed away from. Her left jab was then deflected by King. She attempted two spinning kicks, but Axel ducked under it. Young then slashed at Xiao Long, but she blocked it with her gauntlet, but then Axel kicked her in the stomach. Yang was thrown down the street, but got back up. The blonde fired shots at Young, but he dodged them as her sprinted towards her. He dove over the last shell, but was stopped in his tracks by Yang landing a kick to his side.
Axel caught himself before hitting the ground, and did a backwards handspring to stop himself. Yellow's fire was still blazing, so the shooter had to get up close and personal, again. Yang had the same idea, and the two teens charged at each other. Yang threw a flurry of fists at Axel, and the boy blocked all of them. Yang fired a shotgun shell into Axel, which he blocked by crossing his pistols in front of him. He still ended up skidding backwards quite a back.
Xiao Long sprinted forwards, and landed a kick into his stomach, causing him to double over. The fiery blonde picked up the teen, and threw him straight into the air. She jumped up right behind him, and grabbed him in the air. Yellow then threw her foe back at the ground. The black haired boy slammed into the ground, causing a crater, with him lying in it. Yang fired behind her, propelling her towards her enemy.
The shooter rolled backwards, out of the crater, and watched as the blonde slammed her fist into the ground. This sent a shockwave through the road, and made the pavement roll like a wave. This sent Axel flying into the side of a building. As he got up, the teen saw Yang rushing towards him, but her flames were flickering. He quickly got up and took a shot directly at Yang's left foot and hit his target. Yellow screamed out in pain and rolled to a stop on her back. Axel walked up to her and pointed King at her.
"This is the part where you die." Young said, but he did forget about something though. Yang had a shotgun on her wrist. She raised her right hand and fired a shot. This lifted Axel off the ground, giving Yang time to get back up. The mercenary hit the ground with a thud, and struggled to get back up. As he got back on his feet he saw Yang with both gauntlets pointed towards him. Yang had a problem though. Due to the fact that she had a hole in her foot she became extremely immobile.
Both teens began to fire shots at each other. Neither person was winning the upper hand, as the bullets just collided in midair. Yang quickly reloaded her weapons, and had another idea. She unleashed a barrage of bullets at Axel. As he was busy dodging the she stood on her hands, and pushed off into the air. She flew a couple of feet up, but that was all she needed. The blond then fired behind herself, causing her to sail towards Axel. As he finally stopped moving, he looked up to see Yang flying at him. She tackled him to the ground, where they stopped immediately. Yang ended up pinning her opponent to the ground.
"Good night." She said sweetly, right before knocking him out with her elbow. As she got back up to her feet, she could here sirens off in the distance. Yang sighed and said to herself, "I'll be here for a while."
Eventually the police let Yang return to Beacon, and she sprinted as fast as she could, until she threw open the door to the infirmary. "WhichroomisIkein?!" She quickly asked.
"206," replied a confused receptionist, who then had all the papers on her desk thrown off by the wind of a sprinting teen.
"Thanks!" Yang called out as she ran down the hall. Eventually she reached the correct room, and threw open the door. What she saw broke her heart. To say the mood was grim would've been a drastic understatement. In the room were teams RWBY and JNPR, all of them pilled around Ike. Nora had her head buried in Ren's chest, who was attempting to comfort her. Jaune was sitting in a chair with his head in his hands, while Pyrrha stood next to him rubbing small circles in his back. Both Weiss and Blake were next to Ruby trying to comfort her. Even Weiss and Blake with their strong exteriors had tears in their eyes. The worst part was her seeing Ruby. She was kneeling to the bed, and had her head on Ike's chest. Tears flowing freely down her eyes. Her friends were attempting to comfort her, but their attempts were in vain.
Yang walked over to her sister, and sat down next to her. The older sister instantly wrapped Red in a hug. "It's gonna be alright Ruby. Ike's strong. He'll pull through." She looked up at Ike, who was still unconscious. There were bandages all over his body, with a giant red spot in it. Obviously blood. He was hooked up to all kinds of monitors, and had an IV in his arm. Yang was getting worried that he might go into a coma, and truth be told Yellow knew there was a good chance Ike wouldn't make it, but she didn't want to think about that.
"It's my fault. He's like this, because he was protecting me." The younger girl sobbed.
"No it isn't." Yellow replied caringly. "He wanted to protect you, and because some idiot tries to hurt him, doesn't make it your fault." The blonde began to stroke her sister's hair as she rocked her back and forth. Yang hoped this would end Ruby's crying, but it didn't seem to help at all. This pattern continued well into the night. At some point, Yang's own cheeks were stained by tears, but she had no clue the younger girl eventually fell asleep out of pure exhaustion. Her older sister picked her up and placed her in the bed next to Ike. She then kissed her forehead and whispered, "Goodnight Ruby. I love you." Yang then left the room along with everyone else. Even though nobody said it they all knew what could happen, and none of them were prepared for it. Inside the room, Ruby rolled onto her side and wrapped her arms around Ike.
Bit of a horrid place for me to end isn't it? That's all the more I have for now though so sorry bout that. Anyways, I understand the last bit might seem a bit rushed, and that's because I really wanted to push that bit out and I'm not good at writing scenes like that. I can't really think of anything else to say, so I'll just relax for the rest of today and I'll see ya when I see ya. Remember to pm me and leave a review, because I always love constructive criticism and positive feedback. Bye everyone!
