Chapter 11: Split Ends

Day #04

June 07, 2015

Earth

I jolted upright from the pain that should have followed, but it never came. Instead, I was in a strange bedroom, wrapped in a thin blanket barely covering my leg.

Well, that's not that weird...

My sheets were drenched in a layer of cold sweat. Strange... I don't remember being a heavy sweater, sleep or awake. I rolled over, and almost shit my pants. There was something- make that someone- in the bed with me!

"EEK!" I squealed in surprise, causing the big, blonde, mass lying next to me to shift.

"Just one more minute, Weiss!" it groaned in a familiar voice, punching at some invisible object- an alarm clock, I presumed.

What is up with Weiss being mentioned in conjunction with waking up? I asked myself, remarking that Ruby had muttered something similar as well.

I sat up, quietly ignoring my racing heartbeat, and listened for any noises from the surrounding rooms. There was none.

Good, no one heard me.

"Uhh, Yang?" I whispered in her ear, tapping her shoulder.

She slowly sat up and said "Hey, Rubes. It's kinda cold in... here..." That was when I noticed that she was naked.

"Whoa Yang! Cover up!" I hissed, turning away. She was wearing a bright yellow pair of panties that were borderline nonexistent, and I couldn't tell if she had anything on top because -fortunately- her mane covered her up pretty well. Unfortunately, I noticed I was similarly stripped, too, except for my underwear -which were becoming tighter by the second.

"Oh, not this shit again!" I muttered.

"Uh, uh, well, you see..." I stammered. Yang scowled at me, blushing just as furiously, and rolled over to the other side of the bed, which -being a waterbed- roiled and shifted with her movements, causing her to almost hit the window. I grabbed her ankle, stopping her just in time.

"What did you do to me?" She demanded, kicking her foot free, crouching into a brawlers stance, and putting up her fists.

Why. Why couldn't it have been Ruby who came back with me?

"Wow, this is... unusual..." I cautiously said, prepared to dive away the second things got uglier.

thump, thump, thump. I could hear my mom's footsteps coming down the hallway, and I hastily grabbed the covers and threw them over the scantily-clad blonde, earning a muffled "Hey!" from Yang, though she quickly got the idea and slid under them. I leapt out of bed as quickly as possible, ran into my closet, and waited for my mom to arrive at my door.

"Chris? You okay?" She asked. "I thought I heard you shrieking again"

"Again?" Yang muttered, cocking an eyebrow at me with a impish grin on her face, causing me to glower at her.

"Yeah, mom. I'm fine. Just a stink bug snuck up on me, that's all! Now go back to bed, you need the sleep!"

"Uhh, okay son... So long as it's not one of those night terrors-"

"Goodnight, mom!" I almost yelled. Looking across, Yang was hysterical, barely keeping in her laughter as the footsteps receded back towards the other end of the hallway.

"Okay, hearing that is almost worth being assaulted, I'll give you that-" She said, chuckling, "but, you still have to die." She said with a cruel look on her face and a glint in her eyes. I paled, as I was literally staring death in the eyes. Then, slowly at first, a huge grin spread over her face, and I knew I had been the butt of a joke.

"W-why?" I muttered, clutching my chest in a vain attempt to calm my racing heartbeat as she laughed

"Haha. It was Ren's idea..." She said, leaning back barely holding in her laughter.

"Whaaa?" was all I could squeak out as I collapsed to the floor in relief.

That little...

"At first, I really was angry with you" She said "no one had ever touched me like that before. Well, not without malice." I cocked an eyebrow. She glowered at me. "That's why I was so furious. Then I was talking to Ren while we were imprisoned. They had given us some sort of serum that was supposed to make us share our most embarrassing moments."

"Well, that does sound like something Despayre would do. I mean, he is a jerk. And, well... nevermind." I said, not bringing up the other... stuff. Once again, I noticed something. "Wait, Yang. I was your greatest embarrassment?"

"No, well, you see... For some reason, the serum didn't work as well on me. I noticed that only after the fact, because there are some other- Well, nevermind. I coudl barely lie and say you were the most, but I did. Anyways, Ren heard me, and, while we were still imprisoned, he talked to me about it. Not as if I had anything better to do, besides plan our escape."

"Wait, Yang. I didn't do anything intentionally. I only touched your breasts by accident. Somehow you followed me back when I went to sleep..."

"Whadya mean, 'sleep'?" She said, sitting up and cocking her head.

Oh crap, I had almost forgotten our attire.

"One second, Yang." I said, going over to my dresser and picking out a pair of t-shirts & shorts for both of us.

"Anyways, this is a normal occurrence for you?" She said, still under the covers with her head peeking out. I tossed her the shirt and pants and turned around, putting on a blue shirt & tan shorts as Yang did the same behind me. Satisfied, we both faced each other. Yang was wearing a yellow tee and some brown plaid shorts.

"How do I look?" She said, getting out of bed, raising her arms, and doing a little twirl.

Hot as hell, I thought.

"Like someone trying to cosplay as me and failing." I said contrary to my unwarranted thoughts.

"There's nothing hotter than seeing a girl wearing your clothes..." I muttered, subconsciously licking my lips as I thought of Ruby wearing one of my black tees and a pair of my red cargo shorts...

"Umm... Hello? Remnant to Chris?" Yang was saying, waving her hand in my face.

"Uhh... What now? " I said, snapped out of my fantasy. Thinking of Ruby brought something to my attention. "Wait. Yang." I started.

"Yeah?"

"Your stupidity might have gotten us killed! I was at least knocked out, because I distinctly remember telling you to watch out before your burning aura ignited the leftover explosives in the bomb bay! That's the last thing I remember before blacking out, other than the fact that the bay exploded and I was sucked into the sky. This is earth, most definitely, because you sent me back here when you knocked me out the first time, as well as when Ozpin knocked me out! So welcome to it, I guess... I said, closing my eyes so I didn't strangle her.

I swear, Yang, if you got in between us, there will be no government on earth that can save you from my wrath!

"Dammit Yang, let's just go back to sleep. Here, you can lie back down on the bed this way and I'll lie the other direction."

"Wait, I wasn't planning on going to sleep yet. Why?" She asked, puzzled.

"Well, I think that when I sleep here, I'm awake on Remnant."

"Okay, but when do you dream?" She questioned.

"I haven't 'slept' in almost a week." I joked, "but I always wake up refreshed somehow."

"Huh. maybe, I'll stay up after you. I just wanna see how you look, though I can't wait to see Ruby and the others!" She said as we climbed into bed after I locked my industrial grade room door to prevent anyone from coming inside.
