Ugh. I hate this chapter sorry. It's not very good in my opinion, just let me know what you think.

Yang shifted uncomfortably as she sat in an office. She was waiting for Dr, something or other to arrive. She, Blake, Weiss, and Coco had all been assigned to several sessions of counseling and she was first.

Minutes passed and Yang started to get angry as she sat there doing nothing, just as she was about to leave out of annoyance, something jabbed her in the ribs

"OW! Who are you!?" Yang demanded, glaring at the one who poked her.

"Hehe. Your reaction is so you!" The person said stepping forward. Woman, tall, white hair with a purple streak through the middle that was in a bob cut, purple eyes and big glasses, with a long scar running down her chin and neck. "I'm Doctor Gray! And you can call me Dr, Gray! Or Doc! Or Gray!

Yang sweat dropped at this woman's antics. "Umm"

"So tell me, what did you hear?" Dr, Gray asked.

"What did I hear?" Yang was thoroughly confused.

"Yes, last night when Amber killed that man. What did you hear?"

Yang paused, she hadn't really heard anything aside from Gajeels breath and her own hear beat. She knew Amber had killed that man, but she hadn't put much thought to it because she hadn't seen anything.

"I didn't hear anything." She finally said.

"Anything?" Gray pressed.

"Well, I heard Gajeels breathing."

"Is that it?" Dr, Gray asked, sounding very disappointed.

"Yeah."

"Hmm, well this is only the first session, you can leave if you don't have anything else you want to talk about."

Yang was about to get up when she had a nagging feeling.

"Hey Doc, is it...normal to not really care?"

"...elaborate." Gray said.

"I mean...I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, all I really know is that the guy was going to hurt Weiss and Amber didn't let him."

"Here's my question, do you think Amber was in the right?"

"What?"

"Well for Amber, who was a combat operative for years before Beacon, killing someone is part of the job, it's messy and sometimes uncomfortable, but she did it. Now what if you were in her position, but without her background what would you have done?"

Yang thought for a moment, there was nothing she probably could have done but she doubted she would would have killed someone. "I don't know."

"That's fine, but again, do you agree with Ambers actions?"

"I don't know. I mean, I just assumed that it wasn't Amber but other."

Gray looked up quizzically. "Other?"

"Yeah, you know, her 'other' personality. It's not my place to talk about it if you don't know. I only know because she told me."

Gray nodded and scribbled down some notes. "I wasn't aware of this." She finally said.

"Didn't you read our files?"

"Yes, so I know about you personal problems with maternal figures."

"Oh ok. Um so I'm going to leave now. Because I'm really tired and I need a nap." Yang said, suddenly wanting to be out of there.

Gray tilted her head, picking up on the girls sudden mood change but didn't press. "Ok, if you need another session before your next assigned one don't hesitate to call me." She said holding out a small card with her office number than her personal number scribbled on the back.

"Ok Doc, thanks."

Shaking the young boxers hand and watching the door close behind her, Gray looked out her window at a raven sitting there. "Well I don't know if she hates you, but if she does that would be preferable to you."

The bird just tilted its head a little and ruffled it feathers. Another bird flew over, a crow, and started staring at the raven as if surprised it was there. Gray laughed as the two squabbled loudly.

"You know I do have more patients today, so you'll have to be silent, they are all Yangs friends."

The birds went silent and stared at her.

"Ok! Next!"

When she was told she would have to see someone about last nights affairs, Blake decided she would just ease through it, but now, two hours later from starting she had basically told her entire life story without reservation.

Gray lifted her eyes from her pad and looked at the young faunas. "I hadn't pegged you as the talkative type!"

Blake blinked blankly. "Yeah, me neither."

"So now, to sign off I have one more question, do you hold negative emotions towards Amber for killing the fang member?"

Blake sighed, she didn't know, she was mortified that Amber would coldly kill someone, but then she couldn't judge her, after all she had done some terrible things as a member of the fang. She also had to remember that the lieutenant was know for gross acts of violence and destruction.

"I don't think I do." She finally said.

"Hmm, well think about it and come talk to me when you do. Ok?"

"Ok, and Doc...please don't tell anyone what I told you today."

"As much as I'd like to say yes, I do have to tell Ozpin something."

Blake nodded slowly. "Ok."

With that the girl left, leaving Gray unexpectedly tired. Turning she looked at the crow that had stayed. "Well?"

'Caw!'

"You're not helping."

Turning, Gray saw Coco walking in.

"Hello miss Adele! How are you today?"

Coco looked up at the woman and sighed. "I'm fine can we get this over with, I don't like it here."

Gray tilted her head then nodded. "Of course, one question, how do you feel about how Amber handled the situation last night?"

Coco nodded. "She acted like she was trained, with action and force. I know she's from Atlas so lethal force is not a foreign concept for her. Especially if what Gajeel said is true."

"And what did Gajeel say?"

"Stuff about her training, always being in non friendly combat zones and the like."

Gray nodded and jotted down some notes. "Ok, do you think she was right? Or do you think she overreacted?"

"I think that in the spur of the moment and one of your friends is in danger there is no such thing as overreacting." Coco said defensively.

"I see...well if that's all I'll see you at the next session!"

Coco groaned. "Fine"

"Bye!"

Grays smile fell as the girl left. "That girl has some hidden issues."

Hearing a thunk Gray knew her guest had finally decided to add to the conversation.

"I'm more worried about what could happen if Amber goes off when there is no opposition to attack." Qrow said standing behind the doctor, pushing several pressure points in her back.

"If someone saw, oh, the rumors would fly!" Gray said, enjoying her temporary relive from her job.

"I'll just tell them I'm being paid."

"Jerk."

"Meh. Who do you have left?"

"Weiss, and Gajeel. Any thoughts?"

"Nope. Have fun, I'm going to go talk to Oz while you talk with heiress, I'll come back for Gajeel."

"Ok"

Just as Qrow left he pushed the last pressure point, leaving Gray to slump forward from the feeling. "I always get a kick out of that." He said before jumping out the window.

Weiss walked into the room and was immediately slammed with the smell of burning. Looking around she saw the counselor she was supposed to talk with slowly emitting smoke from her ear, and a line of saliva from her mouth.

"Doctor Gray?"

Gray waved one of her hands.

"Do you need help?"

More hand motions.

"Um?" Weiss was getting worried, she had seen this type of behavior before, Winter had a meeting with a particular huntsman and had a disagreement with him, who later returned the favor by making her sister a drooling mess. "Sorry Doc."

'WHAM!'

Wiess smacked the doctor as hard as she could, sending the woman to the floor.

"Oh! Hello Weiss! How are you?" Gray asked from her sprawled position on the floor.

"I'm fine, I think. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, just slipped something."

"Ok?"

"Don't worry! Now let's talk about you." Gray said getting back up into her chair.

Weiss nodded slowly while seat dropping.

"So I understand this has happened before?" Gray said, holding up a file.

Wiess flinched. "Where did you get that?"

Gray set the file down. "I ask the questions sweetie, now answer, and if your good this file will disappear."

"Yes this has happened before." Wiess said after a few minutes of silence. "I was going to my uncles place and my convoy was ambushed by the white fang."

Gray nodded, motioning for the girl to continue.

"We were outnumbered and my guards were quickly killed. I thought it was the end of me as they talked among themselves on how they would kill me. Fortunately a suppression force was was doing an emergency return from a failed mission and literally ran into the fang group. The fang members had numbers, but the suppression force had skill and an armored truck. Most the fang members were killed with only one injured suppressor. As luck would have it though, the specialist In charge was Winter my older sister. The leader of the fang group recognized her and immediately tried to use me as a bargaining chip. And that is when I first me Amber."

Wiess took a slightly shuddered breath and continued. "She had just been infected with what is now called 'other' and had been in the truck when she heard the fighting, mistaking me for Winter, Amber immediately turned to aggressive measures, I'm not sure why but Amber has always been protective of Winter, not in the way our father is, but like a bodyguard, anyway, because she thought I was my sister, like I said, she went on the offensive, which let 'other' take over."

Gray saw the shuddering in the young girls shoulders but didn't say anything.

Weiss took another breath and continued. "Amber tore through the fang member like a razor through wet paper." Wiess shuddered at the memory that was slowly resurfacing.

Gray reached out and held the girls hand. "Shh, say no more, I can watch the rest with my semblance, and if you want reseal it. I only need you permission."

Wiess nodded and Grey entered her memories, watching as a possessed Amber killed, no, slaughtered fang members on a bloodlusting rampage. Eventually Winter calmed the warrior down and sealed off the memory from Wiess, having the key be a repeat of what happened.

"Hmm, never thought I'd see the day, I should smack James for that little bit of painfully obvious." Gray muttered as she sealed of the horrific memory of burning flesh and shock induced screaming. This time using a complete seal, Winter may have 'that' but Gray was the worlds best at neuron manipulation.

"Alright Wiess, you can go if you want. Do me a favor and send Gajeel in please."

Wiess nodded and left, closing the door behind her. There was a tap at the window and Gray let Qrow in.

"Well?" The Reaper asked.

"I need you to find out why Amber is so protective of the Schnee girls, is there any way you could talk to Winter without making her mad?"

Qrow scratched his chin a little. "Maybe, if I bring her expensive flowers and a good report on her little sister."

"Please do that."

There was a knock at the door, not to friendly sounding.

"I'm gonna sit in on this one." Qrow said. Sitting in his chair off to the side.

"Come in!" Gray said.

Gajeel walked in, Gray raised an eyebrow. His picture shows a dirty ruff and tumbled thug. What walked in was none of that. He had on a white trench coat resting on his shoulders, which he took off and placed on his chair. A olive green tee shirt that hung just loose enough to allow full movement. Black cargo pants with matching belt that had a strange buckle that looked home made but still professional. And black armored combat boots. As he sat, Gray noticed a tattoo on his shoulder that matched his buckle, as well as a slightly concealed tattoo on his arm were he also had fingerless armored gloves that went half way up his arm. His hair was also held back with a solid gray bandana.

(A/N sorry he had a new look and I forget to put it in last chapter. Basically he looks like he did in the grand magic games, just with a some differences. Also in case you didn't know I like the trench coat. Anywho on with the show.)

"Good day Gajeel, can I call you Gajeel?" Gray asked.

"Of course whatever you want Doc." Gajeel said.

"Ok so let's get down to the-yes?" Gray stooped mid sentence as Gajeel held up his hand.

"You want to know if I have some sort of ptsd yes?"

Gray nodded. "That's a basic way to put it."

"Then to answer you question, yes. I'm not going to talk about it, because it has nothing to do with last night, also, I don't want anymore people knowing."

Gray nodded slowly. "Have you talked to anyone about it?"

"Yes, Ozpin and Shadow."

Gray raised her brow again. "Who's shadow?"

"The manifestation of half my power. The dark half."

"And what does that mean?"

Gajeel stood up and raised his hand so it was straight out in front of him. Suddenly it turned into a metal pole, then into a blade, then back to his hand, but it had scales covering it. "There that's my original power. The Iron Dragon Slayer. And this is the power I got from a friend and what Shadow is manifest from." Turning his arm back to normal, he suddenly got darker his eyes started glowing and he had darkness seeping out of him. "This is the Shadow Dragon Slayers power, I just recently began to use them separately."

Gray was dumbstruck. "How is that possible?"

Qrow stood up suddenly as Gajeel reverted to normal. "Let's not aske those questions Doctor Gray. You don't have the clearance."

Gray nodded to the man. If she didn't have clearance then the man in front of her was more special than the existence of the maidens. "How high of clearance would I need?"

"Sorry there are just some things in life you won't have. Clearance for that information is one of those things. Let's put it this way though, Ozpin does not keep records."

Grays jaw dropped, if it was that then she knew she should stop asking, she really did not want to have her memory erased or be erased herself.

Gajeel looked at the doctor with sympathy, he understood not knowing things.

"Well, Gajeel how did you feel when Amber killed that man?" Gray asked after a minute of silence.

Gajeel scratched his chin thoughtfully. "I wasn't pleased with her choice, but, I do respect it. I haven't been here long enough to judge ones actions, that said, if she hadn't show up I would have killed him too. Not for my own sense of justice but my personal feelings towards my friends."

Are you saying you would do anything for your friends?" A new voice asked.

Spinning around Gajeels face lifted into a smile. "Genesis! What are you doing here? I thought you were in Atlas talking to Ironwood."

"I was, I got done early and flew in this morning." Genesis said with a grin.

"Wait there are no scheduled flights from Atlas today." Gray said in confusion.

Genesis shrugged and unfurled his wing.

"Oh"

Suddenly Genesis' scroll rang.

"Hello! Hi Ozpin...no I'm in Grays office right now...good, I think I interrupted Gajeel session though...no, no threats yet...haha your funny...oh hell your serious...WHAT!? Your kidding!...you're kidding...no, damn, alright I'll tell them bye Oz."

Genesis looked up with a worried expression. "Spring disappeared." He said solemnly.

"That's not good." Gajeel said, remembering what Ozpin had told him about the maidens.

Gray tapped her chin tracing her scar. "Great now the only one we have an exact location of is Winter."

"Who's the Winter maiden?" Gajeel asked.

"I'll let you figure it out on your own. Trust me you'll kick yourself when you do." Gray replied.

Gajeel just groaned. "I guess I have to stay here while you search for Spring."

"Nope! You get to stay here while I find Summer." Genesis said. "Gray, Ozpin wants to see you."

"Ok" Gray got up and left. Leaving Gajeel, Genesis, and Qrow in the room.

Qrow stood up. "I'm going to go for a wing."

"You mean go check on your specialist." Genesis jabbed.

"Shut up!" Qrow barked, jumping out of the window morphing and flying off.

"Have fun in class!" Genesis said, also heading for the window.

Gajeel nodded while holding up a particular finger.

As the man flew away Gajeel exhaled, he did indeed have class, Professor Peaches to be exact, and they were doing some sort of trip today. With another sigh Gajeel headed out, stopping by his locker to grab his blades. Two of which had been named at Rubys insistence. His sword he made 'Black steel' and the multi-form katana Edger made him 'salamander'. As he walked out of the locker room he started humming.

'This will be the day'

Good god! This chapter is over. I hated every thing about it and had to rewrite it about eight times before I got to this. So sorry if the chapter is weird or doesn't flow right. Anywho. Reviews
