4. Chapter 4

Ch 4

That next morning Zoro wakes up and heads back to the backyard to do his weight training. After about an hour or so he looks up see that he is not alone but Yang is there and she looks determined but a bit confused as to where to start. Upon seeing this Zoro smiles.

He walks over to Yang "You look like you are a bit confused. Do you want me to direct you where to start?"

Yang nods and so Zoro directs over to the pile of rocks he set aside. He walks her through the next section of training he is doing and has her simply join in with him. She initially tries the same amount of weight he is using only to realize she can barely carry the weight let alone do anything with it. They continue on in relative silence Zoro only talking when he has something new to explain or to correct her. After they finish up its off to breakfast and then class.

This is how the first 6 months of life on Patch goes for Zoro. He wakes up begins training he is regularly joined by Yang, after that they do breakfast and then off to class. After they get home it's a quick snack and a change of clothes and chores then teaching Yang advanced hand to hand until dinner. After dinner the family hangs out for a bit before Zoro retires to his room to begin his mental work out while doing sword training.

At this point everyone has settled into a routine and Ruby is even opening up a bit to him still wont be around him alone but she at least don't hide away from him anymore. It's into this that Qrow comes stumbling in one morning. Qrow had been out drinking the night before and had finally stumbled to Tai's house around sun up only to see 2 figures out back training. He knows it can't be Yang or Ruby as they are the farthest things from morning people so it must be Tai and his house guest from school. He thinks nothing of it and stumbles his way to the couch and falls asleep. A few hours later he is woken up by Yang walking in and going to the kitchen to begin making breakfast she is followed closely by some guy he feels he should recognize. He is curious where Tai is if Yang is making breakfast Tai should be done training by now especially if it was him and that new kid.

Qrow gets up stretches quickly and walks into the kitchen. "Hey little lady I thought I saw your dad out back training is he not making breakfast?"

Yang "That was me and Zoro here out back my dad should be waking up soon but since we are up we just started making breakfast. Seemed like the right thing to do."

Qrow can't help but think back to when Yang used to have to cook and do everything around the house including take care of Tai and shakes his head. "If your dad knew you guys where going to be up training he should have gotten up and made breakfast for you girls. Do you guys want any help?" …."Zoro you said?" now he takes a real look at this man in the kitchen and suddenly everything clicks. "We fought to a draw and then I basically forced you to come here to signal right?"

Zoro "Well it was only a draw because I only had one sword with me if I had my normal compliment I would have won, but yes we fought and you made me come here. I assumed it was you who had me boarding here."

Yang "Yeah if you want to cut up some fruit that would be great."

Qrow begins cutting fruit. "Of course Yang anything I can do to help. Well Zoro when you get your full arsenal back we will have to fight again then. What where you guys doing outside that early anyway?"

Zoro and Yang smile at each other. Zoro says they where doing weight training with natural weights instead of machines. They where doing this to build up muscle strength and endurance. Qrow nods in understanding hoping that that is the only trait she got from Raven.

After breakfast they go to class and this is a big day the day everyones aura is unlocked and they begin to hunt for their semblance. After having their aura unlocked they are split into smaller groups with local huntsman assisting to try and have everyone get their semblance that day. Yang finds hers easy enough she has the ability to use her aura as a shield for those around her because she views herself as one who needs to protect those she loves. Zoro also finds his though he finds it rather ironic given it is the one thing he hasn't been able to actually do here.
