"You've got to be kidding me." Yang laughed, eyeing team JNPR's leader, as he cradled his face in his hand. The two teams had agreed to meet up in the canteen after their last class of the day. It had been a few days since Blake and Yang had their talk, and it seemed as if everything had finally gotten back to normal, though there had been a few odd occasions where Yang had lost her cool.
"I wish I was." He shook his head, avoiding looking at anyone on the sister team.
"As soon as Nora decided to chase the Ursa into the forest, we chased after her and well..." Phyra trailed off, giving her partner a sympathetic look.
"Jaune fell into a hole that we dug because someone thought it would be a great idea to set up a trap for the Grimm." Ren continued the story.
"Yeah, the only reason we took so long to get back to Beacon, was because we were out searching for Jaune." Nora interrupted the dark-haired boy, unaware of how dangerous the situation could have been.
"How long did you have to wait before they found you?" Ruby questioned the boy.
"At least two hours," Jaune mumbled under his breath. "My mission report is all going to be in the third person again." The blonde boy groaned at the thought.
"Don't worry Jaune, it happens to all of us at some point." The redhead said, trying to cheer up the knight.
"I don't think I've ever fallen down a hole, while out in the forest," Weiss stated as she examined her nails.
"No, you just set the forest on fire." Blake fired back at the heiress.
"She's got you there, Weiss." Yang wiped away a tear from laughing too much.
"That wasn't my fault, if Ruby hadn't gotten in my way, that would have never have happened." Weiss huffed, folding her arms.
"It still happened," Yang smirked, earning a glare from the heiress.
The group continued to talk amongst themselves, while the canteen filled with students coming and going as they pleased.
"Hey, guys." The group turned their heads towards the voice, standing there was a monkey Faunus and a boy with blue hair. The boys greeted everyone with a smile, both of them sat down at the table, joining the group. Yang had to stop herself from glaring at Sun when he chose to take the seat next to Blake.
"What are you doing here? isn't there a crime you should be stopping tonight." Sun questioned them, with a teasing smirk.
"Nah, not tonight, we've decided, even we need a break once and a while." Ruby waved her hand in front of her face.
"Plus, we have class in the morning," Weiss added.
"Never thought that would stop you from your unofficial missions," Sun gave Blake a crooked smile, which she returned. Yang clenched her fist under the table, staring across the table at the two.
`Don't they look good together?` The voice in the back of Yang's head spoke. `She looks happier since he got here, don't you think.` it taunted the blonde. `But how can you blame her, even the monkey has more going on than you.` Yang tried to tune the voice out, focusing more on the conversation in front of her.
"I think I've had my fill, of hunting down bad guys, at least for the time being," Blake replied to the blonde boy.
"Oh, come on, we had fun last time. When we went after Torchwick, how could you have too much of that." Sun throws his hands up in the air.
"Maybe you shouldn't try and convince her to do something she doesn't want to do." Yang voiced her opinion, keeping the growl from her voice, but was unsuccessful. Both Weiss and Ruby subtly passed each other concerned looks.
"Since when do you pass up a night out. Good or bad, especially when there is a chance for a fight." Neptune slouched forward to see the girl. "Evident from your friends with guns pointed at us, when we were looking for information."
`This one has you pegged down to a tee. They all know you're only here, so you have a reason to get into fights.` The voice said with amusement.
"Guns?" Weiss snapped her head towards the blonde. "I thought you said Junior was being cooperative," Weiss didn't even try to hide the shock in her voice.
"He was." Yang defended her actions on that night. `I don't know why they are surprised, you did wreck his bar.` The voice whispered to her.
"Well, yeah, he did help, after he told his men to put their guns away." Neptune laughed at the memory. But this just got on the brawler's nerves. Everybody was now looking at Yang.
"It's not a big deal, it was just a miss understanding, his guys just hadn't heard that we cleared everything up." She licked her bottom lip, a splitting headache was beginning. `That, or junior's guys were terrified of someone who can signal handly take them out, and destroy a building because she through a tantrum.` Yang's nails dug into the palm of her hand, the voice seemed to be getting louder.
"Is that what you call a miss understanding? I'm glad I have never had that problem." Sun laugh, slamming his hand on the table.
`He's right, you know, normal people don't get into fights with sketchy men, this isn't really making you sound good, I wonder what the cat thinks.` The voice taunted her. "No, you just hide aboard boats and steal stuff, at least I haven't shrunk that low." Without thinking, Yang snapped at the monkey Faunus, her mouth moving on its own, red started to bleed into lilac.
"Wow, it was only a joke." The blonde-haired boy raised his hands up, Yang looked around the table, seeing the shocked faces from each member, however, Blake didn't look shocked she just looked irritated, Yang could see the disappointment in her eyes.
The voice laughed as Yang lowered her eyes to the table. `Haha, that was a good one, their faces.` Yang stood on her feet. "Sorry, Sun," the brawler couldn't bring herself to look at the boy. "I need to go, I'll catch you guys later." The group watched as Yang left the canteen.
"She's still not doing that great, is she?" Jaune asked, but it was more of a statement. The knight had also noticed the strange behavior of the girl.
"We don't know what is going on with her." Ruby shook her head.
"Has she said anything about it herself?" Pyrrha asked.
"No, any time she realizes she's snapped at one of us, she quickly apologizes," Weiss answered the question.
"Wait, I feel like we're missing something." Sun and Neptune looked at each other. "Did I say something wrong?"
"It's not you, Sun." Blake stared at the door, that Yang had walked out. "Yang just has a lot going on right now, We ran into the White Fang, and let's just say, she has not been herself since."
"Do you think it's some sort of PTSD?" Ren suggested, they all looked at one another.
"it would be possible," Blake folded her arms, a distant look in her eyes. "Though I have a feeling that there something else going on."
YANG
`You really know how to make an exit.` The voice spoke to the blonde as she quickly walked to her dorm room, cutting through the courtyard. "Shut up." She muttered to herself.
`You left her with him, how long do you think it will be before they start spending more time with each other, after all, you're still keeping your distance, are you scared of what I might do.` Yang stopped outside the building that housed the student accommodation. "Why would I risk letting you hurt my friends," Yang answered the voice.
`Why do you think I would do something like that?` the voice taunted, Yang rubbed her temples, her headache only getting worse. 'You can't deny it, it did feel good losing it towards that Faunus boy.` Yang clenched her fist, fearing that maybe deep down the voice was right. Before Yang could dwell on it much longer, she heard a wrack coming from the side of the building.
Yang walked around to see what was causing it, her eyes landed on four guys, that were circling a rabbit Faunus, throwing a camera between them, making sure they Faunus couldn't reach it.
"Please give it back, you'll break it." Velvet begged the group, who only laughed at her attempt at getting her camera back.
`Look at them, so entitled.` Yang felt the heat build in her chest, as she watched Cardin mock the brown-haired girl, Yang clutched her chest, starting to feel it tighten, a burning sensation began at the bottom of her stomach. `Maybe you should teach them a lesson.` the voice darkened.
Yang started to walk, her body acting on its own. "Cardin." She shouted at the boy who turned around to face her, he rolled his eyes, letting out a groan.
"Stay out of this Xiao long." The boy held the camera in his hand, glaring at the girl. "I haven't even been anywhere near your team, now get lost."
"Will you just stop acting like a jerk and leave her alone."
"What did you call me?" The boy marched up to the girl, staring down at her. "You know, I'm getting fed up with you feeling as if you can tell me what to do."
"Yeah, well I'm getting tired of you acting like you own the place," Yang replied, though it came out her mouth, Yang herself didn't say it.
"Yeah, well maybe we should sort this out right now, then." Cardin grabbed the girl's brown jacket collar, but she didn't flinch. "You're already getting angry, I haven't even hit you yet. You know those red eyes of yours aren't really attractive are they, they just make you look like a monster."
"Yang." The blonde's eyes landed on Velvet. "You don't need to do this." Her voice was soft.
"Shut up, you animal," Cardin growled out, Velvet's ears falling at the comment. Yang felt the burning sensation getting stronger, the intoxication of her semblance pulling her in.
`i think it's time we teach him a lesson.` The voice shouted out, sounding like venom. As if someone was controlling her body, Yang's hand sprung forward connecting with the boy's nose.
"Ahh," Cardin fell backward, clutching his nose. Before Cardin could get back up, Yang jumped on top of the boy, firing punch after punch.
"Yang," a voice called out, snapping the girl out of her daze. Yang looked up. her eyes landing on a worried-looking Velvet, then down at Cardin, who's face was bloody. The Brawler then looked at the boy's teammates, who were frozen in shock.
Yang sprang to her feet, her face paled at her actions. "i..a..", but the words never came out. Without think Yang ran, she needed to get away from this situation. As soon as she was far away, she stopped, looking at her bloody fist. "What have I done."
`As if you could do something like that, you wouldn't have the guts.` the voice laughed. `Didn't it feel amazing when his nose cracked under her fist." A shiver ran down Yang's spine.
