Ch. 21
Itachi was walking through the fairgrounds, making his was to where he had seen Winters ship dock. He kept one of his eyes closed as to watch from the point of view of a crow he had summoned earlier. He sighed seeing that Winter and Qrow had crossed paths, or more like Qrow had gone looking for her as they were now in the midst of battle. Itachi's crow flew around high in the air watching as it spotted Ozpin, Ironwood and Glynda making their way towards them.
He wasn't too far from the courtyard and decided to flash step to close the distance. He appeared above a pillar as the two were back on the ground once more, Winter using her glyphs to summon birds as they flew around Qrow, distracting him as she readied herself as Qrow struck the remaining Ice birds as he too got into position. The two lunged forward, but their blades never met as the caws from a murder of crows was heard and flew down low surrounding the two, and when the crows flew away they only heard the metallic sound against metal. Their eyes widened as in between the two Itachi stood in a defensive crouching position, his Katana having stopped Qrows larger weapon, and his Executioners Blade having stopped Winters weapons.
"Who are you?" Winter questioned giving him a small glare
"Itachi!" Weiss gasped as Winter glanced at her before her eyes returned on him.
"This isn't your problem kid." Qrow said not allowing himself to be distracted 'Something about this kid...'
"If you would please lower your weapons." Itachi said looking from one to the other "The Headmasters are making their way here where you stand."
Winters eyes widened. "Schnee!" She narrowed her eyes and sheathed her weapon as she turned to face the general "General Ironwood, Sir!"
"What in the world do you think you're doing?" Ironwood asked the white haired huntress, behind him Penny leaned to the side waving at Itachi who gave her a simple nod in return.
"He started the altercation, sir." Winter responded
Qrow placed his hand behind his head. "That's actually not true, she attacked first." He said.
"Is that right?" Winter opened her mouth then closed it, sighing as she looked down. "And you." Qrow looked around before pointing at himself as Ironwood walked up to him "What are you doing here?"
Itachi sheathed his own weapons, placing the executioners blade on his back and his Katana on his waist.
As he stepped back and was about to walk towards Ruby and Weiss, he heard his name being called. "Mr. Uchiha, please stay, we have some things to discuss." It was Ozpin who walked up to them holding his coffee mug along with Glynda who began repairing the damages done to the courtyard.
"Break it up everyone! We will take care of this mess." Glynda said as she glared at Ironwood and Winter.
"Let's go." Ironwood said as Winter, Penny and the robot soldiers followed.
"Uncle Qrow! Hi!" Ruby launched herself onto Qrows arm as he lifted her with ease "Ahh, it's so good to see you! Did you miss me? Did you miss me?!"
Qrow blinked. "Nope." He jokingly said as he ruffled her hair
"Itachi." Weiss walked up to him as he turned to face her "How did you know they were here?"
"I saw your sisters ship from the Colosseum, and well..." He leaned forward to whisper "...I knew if these two met this would eventually happen, with me being..."
Her eyes widened for a second as she nodded. "So you know my sister and..." She pointed at Qrow as he nodded "They know that you are..."
He shook his head. "No, not yet atleast." He replied as she slowly nodded "Soon everyone will know." Her head shot up to look at him as her eyes widened. "I'm no longer going to hide." It was a message, to those who dared step onto Beacon with ill intent, that they would know that he was here, and that he's protecting those here. That they would have to go through him.
"Qrow, Mr. Uchiha." Ozpin called out as they looked at him. "A word, please."
Itachi looked back at Weiss, who lowered her head. He smiled and gave her forehead a light jab as she looked back up at again, as he smiled. "I'll see you later, okay."
Weiss smiled as she stood on her toes, placing a light kiss on his cheek. Itachi blinked as he looked down at her shy form, the blush that had made itself known on her cheeks. Not known to them that the whole interaction had been seen by Winter, who had stopped earlier to look back at her Sister.
Ozpins Office
They were going up the elevator, Itachi ignoring the glances Qrow would give him as the doors opened and they walked in, Ironwood leaning against the desk as Winter had stopped her pacing as Itachi decided to stay back and lean on one of the pillars.
"What were you thinking?" Winter questioned Qrow.
"If you were one of my men, I would have you shot." Ironwood informed the man.
"If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself." Qrow quipped back as he took out his flask.
"While I wouldn't condone his behavior, retaliating like you did certainly didn't help the situation." Glynda began as she stood next to Ironwood, arms crossed. "And if it hadn't been for Mr. Uchiha, who knows how much destruction you would have caused to the courtyard."
"He was drunk!" Winter said
"He's always drunk." Glynda stated as they looked at Qrow who was chugging his alcoholic drink as he stopped and looked at them before shrugging.
Ozpin sighed. "Qrow why are you here?"
"You've been out of contact for weeks! You can't just go dark liked that on the field." Ironwood told the man.
"I'm not one of your special operatives, Jimmy."
"General." Winter corrected him.
"Whatever. You sent me to get Intel on our enemy, and I'm telling you our enemy is here." He responded pointing to down.
"We know." Ironwood said
"Oh! Oh, you know. Well, thank goodness I'm out here risking my life to keep you all informed!" Qrow said becoming irritated "Communication's a two way street, pal." He took out his scroll and pointed at the screen. "You see this? That's the send button."
"They had reason to assume you'd been compromised." Winter stated taking a step forward
"And I have reason to assume you don't need to be here." Then he turned to point at Itachi "Same goes for him. Why is he even here?" Itachi lightly pushed off the pillar as he walked up to them, eyes locked onto Qrows as he blinked and his onyx eyes bleed to red with three tomoe. Itachi stopped now standing next to the man, in between him and Winter. "You have got to be kidding me."
Winters eyes widened. "You, you are Reaper?" She questioned as she took hold of her weapon, placing it at his heart as Ironwood pulled out his guns "Where's Red Hood?" Itachi's eyes locked on with hers as the tomoe began to spin "Tell me!"
"General, if you and your subordinate would please put your weapons away." Ozpin told the two who still kept their weapons aimed. "Mr. Uchiha here is of no harm." Glynda had her riding crop in hand as Qrow narrowed his eyes placing his hand on the hilt of his own weapon.
Winters glare softened slightly. "I know, but his partner..."
"Is dead." Itachi stated
Winter gripped her handle tighter as her eyes widened when she felt Itachi's weight as he moved forward and her blade pierced his chest. "N-No, why are you...?" She let go of the weapon as Itachi began to cough out blood. "Why would you do that?!"
"Do what, Schnee?"
Winter blinked and looked at the General, who did not have his weapons drawn, she then looked at Itachi who did not have her weapon through his body.
"An illusion." Ozpin said as she looked at him. "The moment your eyes met his." He sighed taking a sip of his Coffee "We have been on the receiving end of his mind games before." Glynda nodded, agreeing with him.
Qrow chuckled. "So what had you screaming, Ice Queen?"
Winter glared at him. Itachi turned to her fully as he bowed. "I apologize for my rudeness, but was it necessary to impale me?"
"I-I didn't..."
"The illusion I placed on you was controlled by your will, I had no control over the actions happening in it." Itachi explained
Winter took a step back. They looked at her waiting for an answer as she widened her eyes slightly. She coughed taking a step forward and whispered for only his ears to hear. "I must speak with you about your relation with my sister." She told him before taking a step back.
Itachi blinked. 'She saw earlier.' He nodded "Of course, I would also like to speak on that subject as well, maybe over some tea." Winter nodded in agreement.
Qrow chuckled having overheard what she had said. "Looks like someone's being overprotective." He placed an arm around Itachi's shoulders "This kid here is one of the best I've seen, even though I've only worked with you twice and just finding out your actually a kid!" Winters eyes widened, Itachi sighed, and Qrow smirked "Leave the little Ice Princess to him."
Winter began to fume, but Ironwood spoke up. "Schnee we'll discuss this incident back on my ship." Winter let out a sigh and saluted to her general and decided to leave not wishing to get into it with the drunken man any longer.
Itachi watched her, she gave him a simple nod as she then stopped next to Qrow, glaring at him, who responded with a Wink, before she continued to the elevator and exiting the room.
"Go on." Ironwood said as Qrow looked at Itachi whose eyes had reverted to their original Onyx color.
"He knows." Ozpin stated as they looked at him "How much he knows I am not sure, but he knows enough."
"Your little infiltrator isn't just another pawn. They're the one responsible for Autumn's condition." Qrow informed them taking another drink of his flask. "Despite what the world thinks, we're not just teachers or generals, or headmaster or students, the people in this room, the leaders of the other two academies, we're the ones who keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about. It's why we meet behind closed doors, why we work in the shadows. So you tell me James, when you brought your army to Vale, did you think you were being discreet or did you just not give a damn?"
"Discreet wasn't working." Ironwood placed his scroll on the desk as a hologram of Vale and Beacons appeared surrounded by Atlas air ships "I'm here because this is what was necessary."
"You're here because Ozpin wanted you here!" Qrow pointed at the headmaster "He made you a part of this inner circle and opened your eyes to the real fight that's in front of us."
"And I am grateful."
"Oh well, you've got a funny way of showing it." Qrow said motioning at the military ships
"The people of Vale needed someone to protect them, someone who would act. When they look to the sky and see my fleet, they feel safe, and our enemies will feel our strength."
Qrow began to laugh. "You think they're afraid of some little ships? I've been out there and I've seen the things she's made and let me tell you... they are fear."
"And fear will bring the grimm. A guardian is a symbol of comfort." Ozpin said glancing at Itachi before his eyes turned back to Ironwood "But an army is a symbol of conflict. There's an energy in the air now, a question in the back of everyone's minds..."
"If this is the size of our defenses, what is sit we're expecting to fight?" Itachi said as Ozpin nodded.
Ironwood sighed as he retrieved his scroll. "So, then what would you suggest we do?"
"I suggest we find our guardian."
Itachi had his eyes closed as he was sensing the energy coming from below the school. "And we must hurry." Itachi said as they looked at him as he opened his eyes "You have one of the maidens here." Their eyes widened "She doesn't have much time, I can feel her aura depleting."
"You can sense her?" Ironwood asked
"Yes, since the day I started." He looked over at Ozpin "But I left it alone, believing I could trust what Ozpin was keeping down there, but now I believe it's time we actually shared our information." Itachi walked up to the desk placing his scroll as the hologram projected. "Years ago, Red Hood and I were approached by this man."
An image a tall tan man with brown hair appeared, as Ozpin immediately recognized him. "Hazel."
Itachi nodded and continued. "They attempted to recruit us, we denied them, but were given some time to think about it, later on we decided to split up, I went my own way as Red Hood joined them as a spy, releasing any information he could get on them." Itachi pressed slid his finger on the scroll as more images came to view. "There are at the very least four to five others in Salems inner circle, those of Whom I believe to be Hazel and this other person." The image of a bandaged person wearing a hood appeared. "I've been following and attempting to find anything that could lead me to this persons where about, but the only clue I had lead to a trap. At first I believed it to be a man but from what the other who came across the lunatic, say it's a woman."
"What's the woman do?" Qrow questioned
"She has the ability to make anything she touches into a bomb." He stated as their eyes widened "I believe that she has a certain distance she must stay in to set her semblance off."
"How much?" Glynda questioned
Itachi sighed. "A kilometer, maybe less, i'm not certain." He swiped the scroll again "We know that they're working with the White Fang, Torchwick and his people."
"Were you able to find their base of operations? Or who it was that attacked Autumn?" Ozpin questioned but Itachi shook his head "Red Hood had just infiltrated, so they wouldn't trust him just yet." Itachi nodded. "You sharing this shows that you've begun to trust us, so it's only fair that I do the same, but before that..." Ozpin showed the clip from his battle today "You told us your eyes were your semblance, but you've showed something different today."
"My eyes are simply special, a second form of power." Itachi stated, swiping a few times his scroll on the desk "Just as I believe I may not be the only one with special powers."
"Can you pinpoint the person who stole Autumns power?" Glynda questioned
"I've been attempting to, but they're somehow able to conceal their power." Itachi stated as the image of Cinder came up "That doesn't mean they can hide from me, a few times that I've passed her I've felt something odd about her. My advise, keep an eye on this one and her teammates whomever they are claiming to be."
"A feeling? We don't want to get innocent people mixed in with this stuff kid." Qrow stated
Ozpin took a sip of his coffee. "I'll have to look over their forms."
Itachi sat outside on the bench that became his and Weiss's usual spot. He looked up at the starry sky as he felt someone sit close to him.
"It's a beautiful night."
"It is now." Itachi turned his head to glance at her.
Weiss rolled her eyes as she grabbed his arm and scooted closer to him, and he wrapped his arm around her holding her close to himself.
"I put your sister in an illusion."
Her head shot up looking at him. "You what?!"
Itachi chuckled. "I was demonstrating, and if it makes you feel better, I didn't hurt her, she stabbed me." Her jaw dropped as she lifted his shirt revealing his toned torso as her eyes roamed all over it "You've become more daring lately."
She blushed and put his shirt back down as she pouted. "Don't change the subject."
Itachi smiled. "She's protective of you." He said as she looked at him "She saw what happened earlier." Motioning to the kiss she had given him on the cheek as she paled "She didn't impale me from finding out I was Reaper, but from finding out that her precious little sister has fallen for someone dangerous as myself."
Weiss leaned into him. "Everyone is dangerous, anyone can become a danger to someone, but I know you would never intentionally hurt me or any of the others." Weiss shivered as cold breeze blew, Itachi opened the palm of his hand as a black flame appeared as Weiss watched it. He grabbed her hand and slowly placed it on top of his making it appear as if she was creating the black flame. "It's not hurting me, it's warm and welcoming."
Weiss shifted slightly, now looking up at him as she looked at his lips as she moved up closer to his face as he too leaned down closer to her their lips a short distance away, both being able to feel the others breathing, but they heard something behind them as they both looked behind them, but no one was there. Itachi narrowed his eyes as he walked up to the entry way and looked inside and around but not seeing anyone, he knew who it had been and he shook his head.
"Who was it?" Weiss asked
"Sky most likely asked to spy on me by Rossa."
Weiss fumed as she began marching into the building. "That's it! I'm going to teach her some respect!" Itachi grabbed her hand as she looked back at him "What?"
"We've had a long day, we need to get some rest for tomorrows matches." Itachi said
Weiss sighed and nodded. "I'm going to spend time with my sister tomorrow after the matches, it has been a while since we've had some actual time together."
Next Day
"And we are back, this is day two, the Doubles round, of the Vytal Festival Tournament are about to begin!" Dr. Oobleck said as the crowd cheered "And the randomization has been complete!"
"What's this?! It looks like it's Itachi and Nanami from Beacons, versus their upperclassmen Coco and Yatsuhashi of Beacon!" Dr. Port announced as the crowd went wild and the squealing of the girls around the Colosseum cheered.
The participants gathered in the arena as the field began to change, from an Urban area, a geyser, a savanna, and a forest.
"I didn't think we would be going up against our upperclassmen." Nanami sweat dropped "Especially not these two."
Itachi was calm as usual. "Everyone has a weakness, stay calm and analyze the opponent and your surroundings." Itachi looked over at Yatsuhashi "Yatsuhashi is someone I actually wanted for you to train with, so this match has its merits."
Nanami was wearing the same battle outfit from the day before, as for Itachi, he wore his usual black pants, but this time he wore a black jacket with the Uchiha fan on the back with the same Purple and White on it for this jacket didn't have Blake or Weiss' emblems on it. He kept the jacket buttoned up not revealing the shirt he wore beneath.
Nanami looked at his jacket. "You sure this is how you want to reveal it to the world?" She rose a brow and sighed "Still, I can't believe she was able to make something that wouldn't burn up from your semblance in so little time."
"Did you forget she made these weapons?" Itachi looked at her "And to answer your question, might as well, she made it for all to see."
Coco looked at the two talking. "Love the outfits, but I prefer you just come at me without the unnecessary clothing." She motioned to Itachi's top half "It's going to burn off anyway."
"My shirt will not burn."
Nanami giggled. "Let's get this over with."
Yatsuhashi stood from his place grabbing hold on his large blade. "I can't promise this will be easy for you." Itachi and Nanami grabbed hold of their weapons as well "We will not hold back because we are from the same school."
Nanami grinned. "Good, let's dance."
Coco smirked. "Oh, I like her."
"Three, two, one, begin!"
"Nanami."
Itachi and Nanami slowly moved back into the savanna area as they were able to hide in the tall grass. They could hear the rapid shooting coming from Coco's mini-gun as Itachi swung his large blade sending Nanami high into the air as he himself ran towards them, swiftly evading every bullet as Coco kept her sight on him.
Yatsuhashi pushed Coco out of the way as Nanami came down slamming the large blade onto Yatsuhashi's who parried with his own. Nanami kept attacking relentlessly adding more power into her swings pushing Yatsuhashi back towards the geyser area.
Itachi evaded the storm of bullets running around Coco as he lunged towards her, now a few feet in front of her he swung his blade, clashing with her mini-gun keeping the weight of his weapon on hers, he swiftly removed her shades before punching her in the gut then proceeding to knee her in the face as she moved to point her weapon at him yet he grabbed onto her shoulder, jumping over her and landing behind her before giving her a kick in the back sending her falling to the ground a few feet from Yatsuhashi.
"Formation C."
Itachi looked at Nanami who smirked as she jumped in between Yatsuhashi and Coco as Itachi swiftly appeared behind Nanami. He swung the large blade as everyone eyes widened as he cut right through Nanami her body being split in half as he hit Yatsuhashi in his side sending him skidding closer to the geyser.
"It worked!" Nanami fist pumped the air as her body became one again "You should've seen his face when you "cut" me in half." Nanami roared laughing
"Pay attention to your opponent." Itachi told her as she rolled her eyes
Yatsuhashi looked at Coco who was getting back up as he began to swing his blade which was parried by Nanami. He swung from above once more as she had to use both hands to block, which gave him an opening and he placed his hand on her shoulder as Nanami blinked for a few seconds then fell to her knees, before Yatsuhashi tossed her into the geyser arena.
"That kind of hurt." Nanami rubbed the back of her head.
She lunged towards Yatsuhashi their large swords clashing once again, creating another opening he attempted to grab her but his hand slipped through her body that had turned into water as she appeared behind him and swung her blade but he changed his gripping on the blade and now held it in reverse as he manged to block.
"You have great swordsmanship, but you still lack practice." Yatsuhashi stated as he looked down "And it seems this is where it shall end."
"What are you t-" She then felt a rumbling in the ground as she looked down and she was right above a geyser "Ha, I can turn into water, this won't affect me." The geyser blew and she turned her body into water with a smirk then she saw Yatsuhashi pull out a yellow dust crystal "Oh, shit." Yatsuhashi threw the crystal into the boiling water as the electricity was flowing through it shocking Nanami as the buzzer went off announcing her elimination. "Damn it!" She fell into his arms as she returned to her normal form as he placed her gently on the ground "Thank you." She sighed and walked off the arena.
"And out goes Miss Cerulean."
Itachi was now left alone against the two upperclassmen as he appeared in front of Coco, grabbing her by the face and throwing her into the forest where she crash landed into some trees. He ran into the forest before Yatsuhashi could get to him and jumped into the trees.
Both his opponents were now in the forest back to back as jumped from branch to branch as Coco would shoot every time she thought she had seen him. Yatsuhashi remained calm holding his weapon ready as his eyes darted from tree to tree.
"He has the advantage in here." Yatsuhashi stated
"I know! Come on out!" Coco shouted
Itachi appeared above them as they looked back and jumped out of the way from the large blade that created a large crack in the ground. Coco pointed her gun at him and began shooting as he jumped backwards into the air and took hold of her shoulder as he landed behind her and he grabbed her arm pointing her weapon at Yatsuhashi who was about to swing his blade but stopped seeing Coco in front of him and the barrels from her weapon on his gut. She retracted the mini-gun into its suitcase form and swung as he ducked and jumped back.
"Come on! Use your semblance!" Coco shouted at him "It's disrespectful if you fight us on without using it!"
Itachi sighed. "Remember you asked for this."
Itachi twisted the handle to the executioners blade as steam began to come out of it and it began to change. The handle extended as the red portion of the blade began to split into three curves, the top curve was the longest as the middle curve was shorter but the final curve at the bottom was the shortest. Then the black flames began to form on his body but then they erupted as the forest behind him began to burn.
"You just had to say it." Yatsuhashi stepped back
"Here it comes." Coco said as she trembled
Itachi began to take steps forward, with every step the grass would burn, the closer he got to the two the more they would move back. Itachi swung the three bladed scythe using the cable at the end of the handle to throw it at Yatsuhashi who attempted to block but was sent flying out of the forest. Coco took her mini-gun back out and began to fire at him but Itachi easily blocked with the palm of his hand. Then Coco's eyes widened as his jacket burned off but underneath was a black shirt hugging his torso with a white skull on it like the mask he would use when under the disguise of Reaper.
"You're him..." She said as he stood towering over her but then felt a jab at her stomach and she knelt over and the buzzer went off eliminating her.
"Looks like Miss Adel has been eliminated." Dr. Oobleck said "Seems that only Mr. Uchiha and Mr. Daichi remain, this will be a clash of the Titans!"
Itachi carried Coco on his shoulder as he walked out of the forest black flames following him as he moved. Once in view everyone gasped as they began to whisper among one another. Itachi placed Coco near the edge of the arena as he walked back standing in front of the burning forest. Itachi threw the scythe once more as Yatsuhashi blocked sending the weapon to the side, but Itachi pulled on the cable making Yatsuhashi eyes widened as he blocked from behind but he felt the three blades clash with his weapon as he was being pulled in towards Itachi he attempted to stop his movement but Itachi swiftly appeared in front of him and with his free hand made a downward swiping motion.
"Divine Sword Itachi."
Yatsuhashi eyes widened as he then fell to the floor. The buzzer rang and he was eliminated.
"A-And the winner is the team of Itachi and Nanami!"
"Oh my! That was quite the match, I must say young Itachi's semblance seems to be quite impressive and if they choose for him to advance to the singles round, it will be problematic for his opponent!" Oobleck said as Port nodded in agreement "Though it has its limits!"
Professor Port grunted. "From we have learned from the young man himself, it seems he must ingest a large amount of food to keep it from burning his aura completely, as well for its two time a day use. If his opponent can force him to use his semblance twice, then the chances of winning the match changes."
"That is if they manage to survive long enough during its first use." Oobleck stated
The crowd was silent before they began cheering and some of the fans of Coco booed. Itachi sighed not thinking much about the two professors blurting out the flaws of his semblance as he glanced around the arena and his eyes caught the person he wished to see. He turned to the group from Haven who were sitting behind his friends, making sure they would see his shirt clearly as the flames died down. Cinder smirked as she clapped not thinking anything about it as she rose a brow and seemed to be inviting him towards her.
Stands
"Oh my god! He has a scythe too!" Ruby jumped up and down and around her seat "It's so beautiful!"
"Are weapons all you think about?" Weiss questioned their team leader "Do you not understand what just happened?"
Ruby blinked as she felt a hand on her shoulder. They looked to the owner of the hand seeing it was Emerald and her team. "Your friend is trying to say that Reapers Identity was just revealed to the public eye."
"Is he Reaper?"
"Maybe he's a fan?"
"That's Reapers skull!"
"Reaper's a kid?!"
"Who could've known Reaper to be this good looking..."
They heard the whispers from the crowd. Blake and Weiss deciding to ignore that last comment.
Blake narrowed her eyes in thought. "Why now of all times?" She questioned.
"It was a message." The girl with the long dark hair said "And that message has been received loud and clear." She turned and walked away, but then stopped to look back over her shoulder. "If I were you two, I'd keep a close eye on him." She turned away and walked. "You wouldn't want anything to happen to him." Emerald and Mercury followed after her.
Yang whistled. "Looks like she had her eyes on him too." Yang looked at her teammates "Just how many girls are going to try and steal him away from you two."
After the match has ended, Itachi had gone back to the dorm room for a shower before heading to meet with Winter and Weiss who were currently speaking and drinking tea. Itachi had changed into some gray shorts and a long sleeved black shirt, letting his stay free from the hair tie after he had brushed it. He walked into one of the many courtyards the school has and could feel Weiss' Aura forming something. He leaned on one of the pillars and watched the two sisters, not wishing to interrupt just yet.
"It's sound to me like you have to choices in front of you. You can either call him, beg for his money back and explain once more why you want to study at Beacon over Atlas. Or, you could continue to explore Remnant. Discovering more about the world, and honestly, more about yourself." Winter pulled Weiss into a hug, who reciprocated the embrace. "As well as your relationship with Reaper." Winter moved away seeing how Weiss' face had turned a light shade of red. "How did you and R-"
"Itachi." Weiss said looking at her sister "His name is Itachi."
Winter nodded. "How did you and Itachi..."
"He treated me like everyone else." Weiss answered with a smile "He knew who I was, my status, my name, but he never cared about the Schnee name, he only saw me, just ordinary Weiss." Weiss held onto her sisters hands "He's a great guy, he cares deeply for his friends, he acts like an older brother to most, but only two of us have actually been able to get behind those walls he puts up." Weiss sighed. "I could go on but I know you have to leave soon."
Winter rose a brow. "Is there someone else he's really close to?"
Weiss blinked. "Blake, she's one of my teammates."
"And what exactly is their relationship?"
Weiss scratched and giggled nervously as Winter narrowed her eyes. "Same as ours..."
Winter glared. "What?"
Weiss sighed. "Before you get mad, it was Blake and my decision to share him." Winter opened her mouth but Weiss spoke. "We didn't really give him a choice." Winter narrowed her eyes and motioned for her to continue "He would not have picked one of us knowing the other would be devastated. He would've left simply so that he would not ruin our friendship and teamwork. And we didn't want him to leave because we..." Itachi decided to make his presence known by stepping forward as the two girls looked at him. "Itachi! How long have you been standing there?!"
Itachi looked stepped in front of Weiss, placing his hand on her cheek as she leaned into his palm as he wiped away the tears that were beginning to form under her eyes before turning to face Winter. Itachi bowed, his free hair falling on both sides of his shoulders. "It is due to my incompetence to pick one that has lead to their decision. You may think low of me for going along with this, but even now, I cannot and will not choose one or the other, because they both hold a piece of my heart, they both have a special place in mine."
Winter kept her gaze on the back of his head. "Stand and tell me, what would you have done, if they made you choose?"
Itachi stood up straight as his eyes met the older Schnee. "I would have walked away, distance myself, maybe even left knowing I would be the reason that would hinder their friendship and teamwork."
"You would put them over yourself? Sacrifice your happiness for theirs?" Winter questioned, Itachi nodded as Winter examined him, more specifically his eyes 'He's not showing any form of doubt.' Winter sighed and looked at Weiss "I will approve of your relationship for now, but I will be keeping an eye on you and if you hurt my sister in anyway... if she comes crying because of something you did, I will personally make your life Hell." Itachi nodded as Winter walked passed him as he slipped something into her pocket without either of the two sisters noticing, as Weiss followed after her and he stayed in place.
Itachi sighed. 'She took it better than expected.' He turned around seeing the two sisters walk in different directions 'Now hopefully Blakes' parents will take it as smoothly...' Itachi followed after Weiss.
Once he caught up to her she was leaning against a pillar waiting on him. "I was wondering what was taking you so long." Weiss grabbed his hand, intertwining her fingers with his "Let's go see her off together." Weiss smiled.
It had gotten dark as they watched Winters ship fly off into the sky as Weiss waved with her free hand. She then slowly let it down as she looked down as well.
"Tell me, would you have really left?" She questioned him not looking up at him.
"Weiss."
"Please ans-" She didn't complete her sentence when she felt him lift her chin up so she was looking at him, her eyes widened when he leaned down and she felt his lips on hers. She slowly closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck, his arms around her waist holding her close to him as they both separated but kept their lips close to the others.
"Is that a good enough answer?"
Weiss shook her head. "I want more." She responded with pressing her lips onto his as they deepened the kiss.
