-Morning-

-Souma Uchiha's POV-

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

*BAM*

I'm currently training with Yang in close quarter combat. These days she's been asking for a serious spar. I leap back as I dodge Yang's punch, she hits the ground leaving a web crack on the floor...yikes...I really don't want get hit by her.

"YANG! Control yourself! Don't simply flail your fists around hoping to hit your target! Plan ahead!"

I hear Qrow yelling from the side as he leans on a tree. Next to him, I see Ruby sitting on a log eating her cookies...her cheeks are puffy as she munches on them, hahah how cute...

"Stand still Souma so I can hit you!"

Yang smacks her fists together in a frightening way. I don't blame her; I've been teasing her a lot during our spar.

"You do know right I'll probably die if I get hit by one of them?"

She shrugs and grin while looking at me.

"Aahahaha, please it'll be fine. Look besides me...I'm sure Ruby wants to hear my punchline after I beat you."

I can hear Ruby groaning in the background.

...Hehe punchline...she smiles as I chuckle lightly.

I then look at her with a serious face.

*Inhale*

Seeing this Yang immediately jumps back and prepare herself as well

*Exhale*

I slowly raise my hand to perform the Seal of Confrontation as a sign that we're about to enter combat.

She blinks multiple time then copy what I did.

She raises her hand and perform the Seal of Confrontation.

Soon a strong gust of wind blows in our direction...Ruby is holding on to her bag of cookies due to the strong wind...leaves start to falls.

"Well then...things look serious."

Qrow commented as he sees the two students before him looking at each with great focus. He walks towards them and stand in the middle.

"You are only allowed to use hand-to-hand combat. First one to submit loses...BEGIN!"

At the end of his words, the two of us run towards each at high speed. We raise our fit and threw a punch.

*BAAM*

Our fists collide with one another as the sound reverberate the woods.

I raise my leg to kick her lower leg to disturb her balance. She counters it by jumping and perform a roundhouse kick to my head.

I jump backward barely avoiding her kick as her feet graze my nose.

'She's fast, all that training from Qrow and dad have finally paid off...I might struggle without the use of my Sharingan...suddenly I recall back Akane's haunting face...no... I have to focus I can't let Yang and Ruby down.'

I then run forward, seeing this she raises her fist and tries to punch my face, I quickly crouch down and raise my fist to do an uppercut, she reacts with her fist that was about to reach my face, she quickly adjusts to block my uppercut.

*BAM*

I have a smirk on my face.

"What's this? You're actually defending yourself?"

I didn't let up I'm still increasing the pressure on my fist; she does the same and bracing herself to block it.

We're currently at a standstill.

"I have other ways?"

"Is tha-

*BAM*

UGGH"

OW! She actually raises her head and headbutted me...What's with girls and headbutting?

I really hate...getting headbutted now. Damn hers' is stronger than Lily's.

My body stumble and I slowly fall back...seeing this she took advantage of it by raising her fist and launch her attack.

I grit my teeth and raise my hand to grab it.

*BAM*

I caught her fist midair making her surprise, I twist my body and grab her waist to perform a judo flip on her.

Feeling off balance Yang panicked then quickly decides to tackle me on to the ground.

Due to the sudden lose balance we both fell on each other.

As the dust settle, Ruby suddenly yelled out!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

...I feel a warm sensation on my lips.

"Oww...Souma that actually hurt."

Yang opens her eyes to see my face close to hers...she just noticed that our lips had touched one another.

"Eh..."

"Eh?"

We at each other feeling confuse.

Yang's face quickly turns red and for some reason I start seeing her hair glow with a radiant golden aura.

She no longer has twin-tail, instead her hair is let down showing her true beauty.

...then I felt for a brief moment that my life is at stake as I see her lilac eyes turn crimson red.

"You've unlocked Sharingan?...oh wait."

"SOUUUMAAAAAA!"

"Oh, I see what's happening...you've unlocked your Semblance! Congrats Yang...Yang!?"

I see her raise her fist...oh sweet cookie she's pissed.

"My...My...MY FIRST KISS!"

I see her fists coming straight for me.

I quickly teleport myself out leaving behind black petals.

*BAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM*

I managed to get out of there...as soon as I see the dust has settled, I turn to see a large crater and Yang is in the center of it.

"WOOOOOOWWWW! YANG THAT'S SO COOL!"

Ruby jumps up and down in excitement while Qrow look surprise by what had happen.

"*Whistle*...I definitely do not want get hit by her."

I felt shiver in my bones just looking at her.

Hmm...interesting how does it work?

I activate my Sharingan to copy her Semblance. Her immense yellow Aura is nothing to scoff at, given time she could prove deadly to her foes.

...Now let see, anger? Counter? Final Strike?

A Semblance that relies on close quarter combat...a fitting one for Yang.

I see Yang look around and soon she spotted me and grit her teeth.

"Oh boy!" I exclaimed as her caught her red eyes glaring at me.

She flickers towards me in high speed...She's faster now. Should I use my jutsu...I don't have much of a choice I quickly jump backward while doing fast hand seals

"Doton: Doryūheki" (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)

I place both my hands on the ground soon the earth shake and a large wall appear between Yang and I

"HOOOORAAAAA!"

Yang raises her fist and punch the wall I made.

*CRACK*

*BAM*

I slowly look up to see Yang breach the wall. Leaving a large hole at the center.

"Wow."

Her fist collides on my face punching me back.

*POOF*

"What!?"

To Yang's surprise it was a clone of myself that she had just punched.

The earth below her starts to shake. I jump out of the earth below her punching her guts.

"*Cough*"

Yang flew and crash on to the wall I've created...At first, I thought it was over...then I see her slowly standing up...Hmm...maybe I shouldn't have done that.

"Yang...calm down now. This is merely sparring session...YANG!?"

I see her lifting pieces of large rocks beside her and toss it towards me.

"OH, COME ON!"

I teleport out dodging Yang's artillery barrage.

"Um...Uncle Qrow shouldn't we stop this."

Ruby watched as Yang continuous throw large rocks at me. Qrow hears me panicking in the background while grinning.

"Well yea I should...but this is the first time I'm seeing Souma giving a run for his money."

Qrow chuckles at my predicament...SHOULD!? HOW ABOUT YOU DO IT!?

I then see Yang stop throwing rocks at me to quickly run towards me...wait is she gaining more power...I dodge her kick which result a small tree being destroyed.

Soon as I quickly turn to attack her fist hits my lower left body.

*BAM*

Ow! her fist hurts like hell.

I'm blocking her punches the best I can I try to counter her with some kick but she seems unaffected by it.

"I see now...so that's your Semblance. A truly fitting Semblance for you Yang! Doton: Doryūheki!" (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)

I summon another wall and jump on top of it to give me distance from her.

I look down on her with my Sharingan intensely while Yang growl at me.

'In her state of emotion, her anger had unlocked her Semblance but there's more to it...her Semblance ability is to receive kinetic energy from her opponent's physical attack...she plays around kinetic energy, she pretty much a tank. Her hair glows intensely showcasing that she's absorbing the kinetic energy...there must be a limit or a weakness...I wonder.'

"GET DOWN HERE!" She yelled as she's pretty to attack me.

As I listen to her, I've decided to use my Sharingan on her...forgive me.

I stare at her with my Sharingan and use genjutsu on her...Yang saw the look on my face and felt fear the moment she stares into my eyes.

Soon she's paralyzed with fear as she sees a massive Sharingan looking down on her.

"W-What!?

"Raiton: Hiraishin" (Lightning Release: Lightning Rod)

*Zap*

I appear behind her using Black Rose and grab her shoulder. I use lightning release to channel electrical current to her body rendering her unconscious since she gets stronger through external forces, I've decided the best course would be to attack her internally, she falls straight into my arms. I let out a soft sigh of relieve and carry her back to Qrow and Ruby.

"Well, that was a performance."

Qrow grin as he watches me... Ruby on the other hand

"WOW! YOU GUYS ARE SO SUPER-DUPER COOL! YANG WHEN BANG BANG BOOM AND YOU WERE LIKE BOOM BOOM BANG! WATCHA WOOTAA WITH MARTIAL ARTS! AND YOU DID ZAP ZAP! I WANT TO HAVE MY SEMBLANCE AS WELL!"

Her eyes sparkle with stars and she couldn't contain her excitement as she moves her hands in a comedic manner imitating our fight.

I smile and laugh at her performance.

"Soon Ruby, you'll unlock your Semblance but for now keep training so you can catch up to us."

She nods rapidly.

"Let's head back...it's late, your dad will be upset at me for letting you kids out this late."

Qrow rubs Ruby's head and we nod and made our way home.

When we got back, we told dad what had happen...he was both excited and terrified at the same time knowing Yang has her Semblance which leaves me laughing.

I carry Yang on my back and place her on her bed.

I then hear a soft sound coming from her.

I turn to see her getting up and looking at me with her groggy eyes.

"Souma!?...ah I lost, didn't I?"

I nod and she looks sad all of a sudden...I notice her fists tighten.

"Here I thought I actually could beat you...I thought with my Semblance I can finally beat you."

I walk towards her bed and sit on it.

"Well...to be fair it wasn't in your favor to begin with. I had all the advantages."

"Yea I could tell...you were holding back."

I raise hand and rub her head

"Hey it was just a spar don't forget that. We'll grow together alright. Though...you did scare the living cookies out of me...so maybe next time."

She smiles then laughs.

"Yea seeing you running around scared was hilarious."

"Given time and practice you'll eventually master your Semblance."

She nods then look down.

"What's wrong?" I ask, worry that she might feel bad about her lost.

"We...we kissed." She said with a tinged of red on her face.

"Ah? Indeed, we did such a thing."

"We did something that mom and dad usually do...doesn't that mean we're going to get married cause dad said the reason he kisses mom a lot is because they're married."

"And in love Yang, we're not going to get married Yang, it was an accident. But I do love you." I said gently caressing her head.

"Really?" Her lilac eyes shines when she asks.

"Yes, I'm your brother believe me. If I'm not mistaken there are many types of kisses. Ours was akin to a family kiss."

I raise two of my fingers and poke her forehead.

"Family that shows affection to one another just show how strong their bonds are. You, Ruby and I are PB&J. We stick together."

She smiles as she touches her forehead.

"Thanks Souma." She hugs me which caught me off guard.

"No problem. Yang rest up, I'll make sure Ruby burn the kitchen trying bake cookies."

I got up, left her room and close the door behind me.

-Yang Xiao Long's POV-

After Souma left my room, I fall to my bed staring at the ceiling...what a day.

I close my eyes and toss and turn on my bed thinking back what had happen, I was squealing and felt happy that I've finally got my Semblance.

I open my eyes and place my finger on my lips...

"Family huh?"

For some reason my heart can't stop beating...I think I'm sick...I should ask dad for some medicine later.

I soon hear a knock on my door.

"Yang, are you sleeping? can I come in."

Mom's home!

"Yes mom! I'm awake."

She opens the door and enter my room.

"Well, you have quite a day, I pass by Souma in the hallway saying you were resting. Qrow also told me you've unlocked your Semblance little firecracker."

She said with a smile while rubbing my head.

"Yeah! Souma and I were sparring then BOOM, super cool me got my Semblance...though I still couldn't beat Souma."

Mom notice that I was feeling down...I hate it...I hate how talented Souma is. All he need is an hour or so and he quickly master those moves like it was nothing.

"Do you envy your brother?"

Mom asks with a serious tone.

"...Yes...at the same time no. I'm proud of him. I also look up to him like what Rubes said, Souma is a super cool brother we always wanted. But I always feel like I can never catch up to him..."

Mom leans to hug me while giving comforting words.

"Then be there for him when he needs it. Sure, Souma is a genius when it comes to fighting but he's hopeless inept social wise...he's shyness often catch the eyes of ladies from the village."

I laugh as I recalled him looking nervous when everyone asks about him.

"He needs you and Ruby. Aren't you his big sister?"

She said with a grin. I smile and nodded.

"Yes! You're right! Thanks mom."

She then proceed to advise me on how to have better control over my Semblance.

-Souma Uchiha's POV-

As I walk downstairs, I see Ruby watching television. Pouting.

"What's wrong Ruby?"

She looks at me then looks away giving me a 'hmph' while pouting. Wow...never seen her this mad at me.

"You kissed Yang! That means you love her more than me." I nearly fell to the floor due to her conclusion.

"Huh?"

Dad was caught off guard to what she had said and blink multiple times...he made the right call to head for the bathroom...and let things plays out. Even he would agree that it's not often she's mad at people.

"Uncle Qrow told me that since you kiss Yang, you love her more than me."

That damn drunkard.

"Umm...we're too young for that Ruby plus I think you're misunderstanding it."

So How do I salvage this and still be her cool brother?

One, tell her the same thing I did with Yang: She's won't believe me.

Two, laugh it off and ignore her: She'll hate me.

Three, kill Qrow for putting me in this situation: A definite yes... hmm leaning towards three.

Four, kiss her: ...

I walk up to Ruby and kiss her cheek. She was caught off guard and started looking at me with stars in her eyes.

"You kiss me! that means you love me as well! ahahahahaha!"

She said happily and jumps up and down on the sofa, after a while she sat back down and started drinking her milk with a cute smile on her face. I gently rub her head as I see this... phew dodged a bullet

"Yes yes, I love you too Ruby."

...I'm safe. I look at her...seeing her this happy really warm my heart.

I then hear Tai coming out of the kitchen.

"Ah Souma you're here!"

What the heck is that supposed to mean!? You just saw us and made quick dash to the bathroom to avoid this. He noticed my glare and played it off with a smile. Something tells me Ruby reminds him of mom when she's mad.

"Anyways, while you were out training. I've received a letter from Signal Academy."

From a Signal Academy, did General Ironwood wish to speak to me if so, why Signal Academy?

"A letter?"

I walk up to him and take the letter from his hand.

I confirm that the letter did came from Signal Academy due to the logo.

I open the sealed letter and read its content.

My eyes widen for what I had read.

"Well...what is it? Don't leave me in suspense."

Dad ask worryingly.

"I've been accepted." I answered my father.

"What?"

He blinks his eyes multiple times. I start to explain to him the content of said letter.

"It says here, starting next year I'm allow to be enrolled in Signal Academy in order to prepare the necessary training before advancing to higher academy."

Dad jaws drop and he quickly snatch the letter from my hand after a quick read and mumbling to himself he looks at me and smile widely.

"SOUMA! YOU'RE GOING TO SIGNAL ACADEMY NEXT YEAR!"

Yes...I just said that. I sweat drop from his antic.

Ruby and uncle Qrow heard the commotion and came to check up on us.

"What's wrong dad?" Ruby peek her head cutely from the couch.

"What's with all the yelling? You're giving me a headache."

Qrow asks as he slowly emerge from another couch. Where in the hell did he come from?

Dad grins and place his arm around Qrow...

"Here read this."

Qrow blink his eyes multiple time and read the letter handed to him.

"Bla bla bla...eh...what?..."

Uncle Qrow looks at me and have a huge grin on his face.

"Well well, it seems the genius himself have finally been acknowledge by them."

Ruby have a blank look on her face.

"Ruby...your brother has been accepted by Signal Academy. I'll be schooling there next year."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAATTT!"

Ruby's yell was so loud it kinda shook the house.

TO BE CONTINUE.
