Chapter Ten: Black and White Aftermath: Welcome back!
"It's time to wake up Tony, he will be angry again if you skip class again." A young girl with black hair told her lazy friend, shaking him awake. The boy responded by pulling the sheets on his bed tighter against his body
"Leave me alone… I already know most of it anyway. Right now I'm just learning how to skip class like a pro" Tony assured her "If you want I could teach you too." Tony offered cracking one eye half open to see, annoying the girl to a certain degree as she twitched one eyebrow in annoyance.
"First off that is by far the worst excuse I heard from you yet, second I'm not an idiot who would stoop so low to skip class" The girl pointed out in annoyance
"That is not the worst excuse I gave, remember the time I tried faking chicken pox. Now that was a terrible excuse" Tony pointed out as his friend face palmed from the memory of him literally drawing red marks on his skin with marker while pretending to be itchy. The moral of the story is if you want to pretend to have chicken pox, use a red marker and not a purple one. Trying to lie your way out by saying it's a foreign version of chicken pox is not going to work
"Yes I know, why can't you ever take anything serious" The girl said with a tired sigh
"I do take my training serious as it's necessary to be prepared for the future. That aside I already know most of boring crud he is teaching so it seems only fair that I should be able to slack off with everything else I've got" Tony explained as the girl was about to scold him again only for a familiar figure to stand next to her.
"Tony, that was very well said. It is true you know the studies well but you must give every task with one hundred percent effort" The man smiled as Tony began to sweat nervously underneath the blankets. The man in question was Ichiro Minazuki, Tony's and the girl's teacher.
"However Tony." Minazuki continued, as he grabbed Tony by his collar and pulled him out of his bed. He then began to lightly smash against the ground until Tony was knocked out cold "A lazy-ass boy like you is still too young to know how to slack off." Minazuki said sternly as he began to drag Tony's unconscious body out by his collar. He left the room with the girl by his side with her shaking her head at her friend idiocy
"I must thank you for trying to bring him back by yourself." Minazuki thanked the girl "Most students leave him alone so I must commend you for your attempt to try and teach him reason"
"It was nothing, I just wish he would just listen to me more." She admitted bashfully as Minazuki placed a hand atop of her head and began to scratch between her ears. Pleasing her due to her cat faunus traits.
"In due time but I'm sure that he'll change." Minazuki reassured her but she still held a trouble face
"But he doesn't even remember my name most of the time" The girl told truthfully as Minazuki let out a small chuckle.
"Well let's fix that now shall we?" Minazuki stated to which she nodded in agreement. Stopping near a wall and propped Tony up against it he went to a nearby water fountain and wet his hands. Minazuki walked back to Tony and began lightly tap his cheek "Wake up Tony~" Minazuki said in a sing song voice as he didn't get a response from the unconscious boy as reason dictates that he should something about that. He pulled his hand back and smacked it against Tony's face as a resonating smack filled the entire area of the hall they were in. Tony quickly woke up with a shout of pain as he clutched the side of his face with a now red hand mark on his cheek.
"What the Fu-" Tony shouted but stopped when he saw Minazuki staring at him with a stern look while having his arms cross as he tapped his fingers against his arm "I mean what the fudge…" Tony corrected himself
"Your foul mouth is still a work in progress." Minazuki told Tony "But that's beside the point Tony, what's this kind girls name." He asked the young boy while pointing to the girl as Tony gave it a good long thought about it.
"Umm… Nyanko…?" Tony answered unsure of his answer as the girl dropped her head in disappointment. Minazuki couldn't help but sigh at his student forgetfulness
"Tony just because she has cat ears doesn't mean her name is that close to a cat." Minazuki corrected, gesturing the girl's cat ears. "Now why don't you introduce yourself again, because I'm sure he needs a refresher. . . Again" Minazuki said dryly as Tony let out a weak chuckle
The girl did as told but to Tony it came as a muffle. "Huh? What did you say? Sorry, but your gonna need to speak up..." Tony asked while cupping his hand around his ear
"Blake Belladonna."
"Huh…?"
"It's Blake Belladonna, remember the promise we made?" Blake reinformed him as Tony stare at her in surprise. "Tony?"
"Dante!" A voice cried out, waking up the white-haired hunter. Dante pull himself up into a sitting position and found himself back in his old home as the events of last night came back to him. He looked around and found everything to be the same since he was last here. Except for the fact it was a lot cleaner than last time.. 'I should thank Rei when I see her.' Dante told himself before realizing he had company with me. Looking to his right Dante saw his friends Team RWBY all staring at him in concern in their own way. Ruby was obviously worried for him, Yang put on fake smile hiding her worried look, Weiss looked more angry then worried but Dante had a feeling she was just as worried for him in her own way. Blake looked troubled as she kept on staring at him silently before she said to him "We need to talk." prompting him to give her a nod.
"Did you guys start a party without me? Or did you come here to rub it in my face?" Dante asked jokingly as he broke the ice over the tense situation. This earned him a smile from the girls, even Weiss had a small smile on her face.
"Well there's goes the surprise. Actually were here to prepare a huge party just for Blake." Yang answered Dante, earning a confuse look from him
"I'm still against the idea. You two party junkies would destroy the place the second alcohol is introduced to the mix" Weiss added, earning a chuckle from the group except Yang
"What's that suppose to mean?" Yang questioned the heiress
"You know full well what I meant." Weiss replied hotly
"Ruby! She's wrong right?" Yang asked her sister who scratched the back of her head with a weak chuckle
"Ruby. As your partner back me up and inform your sister she's out of control when she parties." Weiss also asked Ruby who looked back and forth from the two nervously as she didn't know who to support
"Uh…" Ruby answered nervously before being bombarded with questions by both Weiss and Yang while Blake and Dante stared at the bombardment with slight interest.
After a few moments he decided to find out what was happening "Am I missing something?" Dante asked the black haired hunter next to him. Blake sat on the corner of Dante's bed, glancing at him for a bit before sighing in contemplation.
"You remember the information, Tukson gave us on The White Fang." Blake stated, prompting Dante to turn his full attention towards Blake
"Oh… You mean the shipment they were planning on stealing?" Dante inquire, getting a nod from her "Well I remember one thing led to another and I found myself saving a little girl while fighting an army." Dante said as he remembered it the fight clearly
Blake winced at the new information. Dante injuries could've been avoided if she tagged along like she originally planned to, the outcome of the incident could of been better if she was there.
"Forgive me… If my emotions didn't influence my actions. You wouldn't have been in bed with bandages." Blake apologized which in turn made Dante sigh. He pushed the covers of the bed off him as he moved himself to sit next to her.
"Hey, don't dwell on the past. What's done is done." Placing a hand on her shoulder, reassuring her. Blake gave Dante a grateful look.
"Thank you." She thanked as they turned their attention back to the three, a smile gracing both their faces. Under their argument, they both saw them. Smiling and having fun.
"So what happen while I was out?" Dante asked while still watching the three go at it
"Well, the little girl you saved is doing fine. She was both physically and mentally exhausted, but recovered quickly." Blake updated Dante to which he smiled
"That's good... How about you?" Dante asked shifting his concern to her
"Me…? I should probably fill you in on what happen since you were out for a couple days." Blake offered getting a bewildered look from Dante
"I was out for that long… Huh, that ain't a first." Dante said nonchalantly, he hasn't remember the last time he was out like that from his injuries
"Well your injuries were severe, we were surprised to find you awake. The doctor said you would be out longer." Blake answered "And we found you after we stopped the White Fang from stealing the shipment from Atlas." Blake stated as Dante nodded before a thought came to mind
"By any chance did you run into a ginger wearing a white suit?" Dante asked, watching an irritated look come upon her face
Blake began to tell Dante about, what happen the last few days. This soon led the three that was arguing to join in fill in any missing or minor points. They began to explain everything that happened, from her and Weiss argument about the White Fang and how she indirectly told them she was once of member. Running away after she slipped it out and running into Sun Wukong, Blake then began to explain the same story, she told her friends. About The White Fang and their origin, including how she was a member of them. Then they finally explained what happen at the port.
"So that means your a Faunus?" Dante asked curiously prompting Blake to remove her bow and reveal to everyone her cat ears
Dante hummed to himself and began to play with her ears, earning him a glare from her and giggles from her friends. Her ears kept twitching from the contact as Dante began to scratch them, although she didn't want to show it. It felt really good to her, Blake couldn't remember the last time she felt this sensation. Resting her head on Dante's shoulder as she began to close her eyes.
Team RWBY minus Blake stared at the interaction with a smile but watching how close Blake and Dante was getting Weiss and Yang felt annoyed for reasons unknown to them.
"Dante can I play with Blake's ears next?" Ruby requested joining Dante by his side when he waved her over and having some fun of her own. She immediately went for her chin and was pleased to find out her reaction. Blake purred from the touch before her eyes opened wide when she realize what she was doing and moved her head away from the two. A blush forming on her face.
"Did you just purr…" Dante asked trying to hold in his laugh
"That wasn't me!" Blake shouted at them, her blush darkening. No longer able to hold himself Dante started laughing as Ruby joined him, It didn't help when they saw her pouting at them.
"It's not funny!" Blake shouted again only now Weiss and Yang joined the laughter
"What's the matter? When we were kids you'd always ask me to do this when we were alone" Dante said, shocking everyone in the room. Blake was trembling with emotions right now at what he just revealed
"Come on you guys, let's leave them be for now." Yang advised, grabbing both Ruby and Weiss by the shoulder and escorting them out.
"But I want to play with Dante more!" Ruby cried out, pointing to Dante
"Shush! Ruby, let's let them have their time." Weiss said, calming Ruby down a bit as they made their way toward the pub
"Oh c'mon, I'm not a kid!" Ruby cried out as Blake and Dante watched them leave in silence. Dante turned his head towards Blake who had her eyes shut and was clutching her fist, shaking them. Dante gave her smile
"It's been awhi-" Dante was cut off by a punch to the gut as it knocked the wind out of him. The second punch striked him across the face as he caught a glimpse of her upset face
"You Moron!" Blake shouted sending an uppercut against his chin as that punch sent him flying off the bed onto the ground "You promised me, you'd protect me and be by my side!" Blake shouted as tears threatened to fall from her eyes
"Calm down will ya?" Dante asked, attempting to calm the cat eared Faunus a bit while getting back up only to be pushed back down by her
"Don't tell me to calm down!" Blake yelled ignoring what he was saying as she moved herself on top of him. Punching him in more ways than one. Dante winced not from pain but from her crying face. Blake continued her pounding on him until she reduced them to just light pounds on his chest.
"I thought you died seven years ago, I thought I would never see you again…" Blake cried, trying her best to fight back her tears. Calmly Dante wiped some tears away as Blake soon embraced him. Holding onto him for dear life, so he wouldn't disappear again.
"Tony… Promise me you won't disappear again." Blake begged as she cried into his chest, Dante smiled and returned the hug
"I promise as long as you don't beat the crap out of me again…" Dante said jokingly getting a small giggle from Blake "I guess it's kinda late for introductions but my real name is Dante not Tony."
"It might take some time getting use to but welcome back Dante." Blake said warmly as she continued to hug Dante as they held each other for awhile
"...Is this getting awkward for you as well or is it just me?" Dante said as he noticed they were holding each other in an inappropriate position. Blake realized what he meant as she pushed herself off of him and stood back up. Dante let out a chuckle when he noticed a faint pink blush on Blake's cheeks when she was looking away from him "Well come on, let's go see what the others are doing" Dante said as he pushed himself up "Other than listening in on us of course" Dante said hitting the door with the side of his fist as the girls behind it let out a yelp
Opening his door and leaning his head out Dante could see them at the end of the hall he saw the girls run around the corner back to the pub. Looking down at his feet he saw a tray filled with food and a bottle of alcohol with cups on the side. Picking it up, Dante found a letter hidden underneath the goodies. Using one hand to hold the tray, and his other hand to read the letter as it read.
Dante, Blake has been having a hard time trying to relax since the business with what happened the other day. She may be great at hiding her emotions but we know she's still hurt about The White Fang. We think you'll be the best option in cheering her up. Please help her relax and take her mind off it.
-Love Team RWBY
P.S I would also love to see what she looks like hammered, have fun with that and be sure to take pictures :P
-Yang
"The last thing, I expected was helping someone unwind…" Dante complained to himself "Usually the injured person is the one getting help from others. Well knowing them I guess I don't have much of a choice. Now do I." Dante said before looking around "Who am I talking to?" Dante said before shrugging
Dante walked backed into the room and already found Blake reading away. She heard Dante walk back into the room as she lifted her head up from the book to stare at the plate of food and drinks
"What's with all the food and drinks?" Blake asked curiously, she was met with silence as he placed the tray onto the table and sat crossed legged patting a spot next to him.
"Let's not worry about that. For now, let just enjoy the treat." Dante answered which earned a surprised look from Blake before she seated herself next to Dante
"A lot has happen but for now let's just forget about it and enjoy each others company." Dante told her, earning a nod from Blake as she grabbed a pair of chopsticks and starting eating while Dante enjoyed a drink
"I can't remember the last time you and I were together like this…" Blake reminisced getting a curious look from Dante "The last fond memory I had of you was when we ate together. We'd laugh, cry, and bicker with each other." Blake said with a smile as she had a distant look on her face
"Mostly bicker and I think you're memory might need a refresher cause I never cried" Dante corrected
"What are you talking about you'd always cry about the littlest of things." Blake retorted
"I did it because I was able to do whatever I wanted to do back then if I did. I felt like one of those rich kids who got everything they wanted." Dante explained with a smile as Blake responded by face palming
"You really are the same idiot from back then." Blake said out loud, not knowing to be happy he's the same or annoyed
"Is that good thing or bad thing?" Dante asked, earning a sigh from Blake before a small smile formed
"It has it's ups and downs. But the ups outweigh the downs because we can continue to grow our friendship where we left off." Blake answered happily as he gave her a warm smile
"We can save that for next time, but for now. Let's just relax, that's your job for today" Dante encouraged, handing Blake a sake cup and pouring her cup full
"I don't drink." Blake admitted as she watched him pour himself one
"A little drink wouldn't hurt, besides I'd feel lonely if I drank all this by myself." Dante urged getting a defeated nod from Blake as she looked at the liquor for a good minute
Little did the two know the door quietly opened as three heads leaned in to get a good look at the two.
"Nice. We didn't miss anything." Yang exclaimed, as Ruby and Weiss both nodded
"Wow Dante sure knows what he's doing." Ruby said in amazement, watching Blake calmly down the entire cup "Yang look Blake drank it. Is that a good thing?" Ruby asked as she has no idea what would happen
"Yeah it is." Yang said with a mischievous smile
"Leave it to Dante to fix everything huh?" Weiss added smiling as well
"I'm surprised you can handle your liquor well." Dante said amazed, pouring her another cup full
"She finally looks relaxed" Weiss pointed out as Blake had a calm expression on her face with a faint blush forming on her cheeks. Blake soon downed another cup and let out a hiccup
"Hey the drinks are meant for both of us so pour me some would ya?" Dante requested only for her to lift her cup to his eye level while she let out another hiccup
"More." Blake demanded while hiccuping. Dante couldn't help but blinked in confusion "More!" Blake repeated a little more sternly
"What?" Dante asked confused
"I said more damn it!" Blake yelled grabbing the bottle and smashing it onto Dante's head. Normally Dante would shrug this off but sadly he's still recovering and that blow to the head jogged his head around to hard as he fell down onto the floor.
Team RWBY watched what happened with their mouth agape. They watched Blake wobble a bit before grabbing another bottle and downing half of it in one gulp.
"Uh… Yang is this normal?" Ruby inquired with a worried look "Blake like did a complete one eighty on her personality right now" Ruby asked her sister who let out a nervous chuckle
"I honestly expected her to be a shy and innocent kind of drunk. I never thought she be the violent type of drunk" Yang admitted bashfully
"So you're telling me we just made the situation worse for Dante? Weiss deadpanned as Blake picked Dante up by the collar and began slapping him
"Hey wake up! It's too early to take naps!" Blake shouted, slapping Dante senselessly
"Yang! Blake hurting Dante, we have to stop her!" Ruby cried out to her sister. Blake soon took the bottle she drank from and shoved it into Dante's mouth. Dante soon woke up choking on the sake
"Glad to see you awake, the night has only begun." Blake said blithely. Dante coughed some of the alcohol out of his mouth and started to crawl backwards away from the drunk cat girl
"Yeah, sorry for losing consciousness there… but um… When we started drinking together, was there a change? Because I was with my friend and that same friend isn't you right?" Dante asked a little shakily as he never seen the calm, collective, quiet and polite Blake act so. . . Un-Blake-like
"Of course I am, I've been here for almost the entire day with you!" Blake answered making Dante feel more uneasy about the situation
"Oh okay then I guess I'll keep you company until morning comes." Dante proclaimed realizing he had no way out of the situation as Blake gave him a nod
"Okay, since we had plenty to drink. Lets play a game okay?" Blake suggested but to Dante it sounded more like a command then a suggestion
"No, It's fine. I'll be pleased just drinking by your side." Dante said, trying to avoid playing a game with her
"But It'll be fun cause losers has to take of their clothes." Blake responded playfully
"I'm telling it's fine let's just sit back and relax okay?" Dante suggested quickly as he felt his face heat up a little at Blake's suggestion
"Huh? Are you seeing someone? That or don't you think I'm attractive enough?" Blake questioned fiercely causing Dante to gulp nervously
"I'm just saying you'll regret it later on because you're drunk right now." Dante advised still crawling away from the girl until he hit the wall causing him to let out a silent curse
"So you're not seeing anyone, That's good because that means I can have you all to myself." Blake said cheerfully as a bright smile etched on her face
"I am never going to let you drink again…" Dante groaned feeling a headache coming as he pushed himself up against the wall
"Ta~da here we go!" Blake said in sing song voice "Rock, Paper, Scissors!" Blake said pulling out a literal rock, paper and scissors. Where she got them from Dante will never know
Late on reaction, Dante panicked picked scissors as Blake choose rock. A red gleam appeared in her eyes, as she reared her fist back and punched Dante in the face
"Rock beats scissors!" Blake yelled, right before she punched Dante
"What the hell kind of Rock, Paper, Scissors is this?" Dante cried out while he leaned against the wall to stop him from falling
"One more!" Blake announced getting an uneasy look from Dante as he prepared himself for round two "Rock, Paper, Scissors!" Blake picked scissors this time as Dante adopted rock
"Alright I'm not gonn-" Dante didn't finish as Blake, this time punched him in the gut "I still lose if I win?!" Dante said dryly
"Rock, Paper, Fist!" Blake shouted, punching the side of his head then going for a palm uppercut. Knocking Dante back onto the ground
"Were not done yet. Get up!" Blake ordered kicking his sides as Dante groaned in pain
Yang watching the situation and couldn't help but laugh. Ruby and Weiss gave her puzzled looks
"Are you sure it's the appropriate time to be laughing?" Weiss asked, Yang gave her a nod and smiled
"Of course it is, This the first time we've seen Blake act like this. Plus she's having fun and smiling so happily" Yang answered ecstatically
"…Your definition of fun scares me" Weiss replied getting a nod of agreement from Ruby. Looking back inside they saw Dante on his knees face on the floor as Blake downed another bottle.
"Let's play a different game this time." Blake said out loud turning around and looking at the door "Hey, you three hiding over there should join in, Or else I'll come and get you myself." Blake said as a jolt when down the girls bodies as they didn't realize they were found out
Team RWBY looked at each other nervously, not knowing what to do. They made an attempt to escape but felt an disturbing presence behind them. Turning around seeing a sinister smile on Blake face as she grabbed Weiss arms, Weiss in reaction grabbed Yang's arm. Yang in turn grabbed Ruby hood as they played tug of war.
"Weiss what do you think you're doing? Let go!" Yang asked trying her best to break free from her grip
"No way! I'm not going in there alone!" Weiss countered holding onto Yang with all her strength
"How about you, Stay behind and hold her back for us" Yang proposed getting a terrified look from Weiss
"Take one for your leader and sacrifice yourself!" Ruby cried out trying to use her semblance to try and break free of their grips
"Screw that! If I'm going down, then you're coming down with me baby sis!" Yang retorted as the four tugged each other until they all found themselves pulled into the house. Falling to the ground they saw Dante give them a sadistic look on his face
"What wrong? If you wanted to join in earlier you should of asked. That fine we'll celebrate till the sun comes up." Dante announced and his face told them 'If I'm gonna suffer, then you're going to suffer with me!'
"Ta-Da let's play some UNO everyone!" Blake rosy said, revealing the UNO cards to everyone. "Of course we're going to be playing the cutthroat rules edition though" Dante appeared behind her with a kitchen knife and licked it like a serial killer. Scaring the three girls, especially when he started laughing manically as it shows that Dante's mind finally snapped from the abuse
"AHH~!" The cries of three girls could be heard throughout the district as people passing by looked at the house in interest but choose to ignore it and go on their daily lives.
"It must be nice being young" Rei mused as she cleaned a glass downstairs completely obvious to what is going on upstairs
