"Demonic Talking"
Beacon, was known as the best academy for huntsman and huntresses. Training Summer Rose, Taiyang Xiao Long, Qrow Branwen and Raven Branwen…
Yang's mother… From what her memories say she had been looking for her mother ever since the death of Summer Rose, her foster mother. Her ignorance had almost costed her… Her life…And Ruby's her stupidity almost costed her a loved one, but now she would protect them no matter what.
(Rose-Xiao Long residence, Vale)
Yang woke up groggily, after spending so much time packing her stuff. 'Damn... that took way longer than i though it would...' She wasn't feeling it today... especially after what happened in the forest. 'Damn things can't mind their own business..'
'Your saying that like they have a damn mind...' The Kitsune replied with a yawn...
'You have some Damn explaining to do Fur ball!'
'The hell did you just call me brat?!'
'You realize i have to pull punches just to make sure i don't kill anyone right..?'
'How would I know.. Probably due to having both chakra and aura..' It answered back as it fell back to sleep.
'Damn it this is all you ever do you lazy Fur ball!' She had enough of it and closed her mind-scape Before Getting her self dressed and ready, She grabbed 'Ember Celica' and placed them on her wrists. she began to walk towards the kitchen where she could see Ruby stuffing herself full of cookies. Yang quickly went over to the cupboard and reached for a bowl of instant miso ramen and poured water into a kettle, Before sitting at the table.
"Now, remember to call back home, let me know how your doing at beacon every now and then got it?" Taiyang reminded Yang as she sat down.
"Alright, I'll call every now and then." She groaned, 'Its not like I got drunk and wiped bars out of business... oh wait... shit' she thought when she did to junior's club. Not her fault the idiot didn't give the information... her body wanted.
"So Ruby I heard you went to the police department..." Taiyang brought up as Yang was drank orange juice, only to spit it back out at his face after hearing that.
"WHAT?!" Yang was both worried and pissed right now, 'what the hell happened when i was gone?! What the hell did Ruby do?! I swear if i find who ever blamed her for whatever got her in trouble I'll-' She was radiating both killing intent and a motherly worry, while going through both emotions very quickly.
Ruby, Taiyang and Zwei, their pet dog, Had Comical Sweat drops as they looked at yang with a cringing expression. She went Big sis mode, the last time she did was when a guy tried to hit on Ruby, The guy got her so pissed that when she was done with him not a single person recognized him not even his parents and a complete and utter fear of women. That bad.
"Its not what you think! I was at 'Dust till'Dawn' buying dust rounds and listening to music tracks till some guys in suits showed up and tried to rob the place! So i stepped in kicked their butts, went to the police department and met Ozpin where he invited me to Beacon!" Ruby explained frantically without pausing, She barely got out of Yang's 'Big sister mode' last time and it was more then the poor girl could handle back then. She DEFINITELY can't handle it anytime soon.
The members of the Rose-Xiao Long family sighed in relief when they saw her calm down, before sweat dropping as Yang hugged Ruby and they saw the poor girl pale.
"Oh I'm so proud of you sis! Stopping those people from Robbing the old guy!" Yang squealed in delight and hugged her tightly, She was proud of Ruby standing up for the old man he already had enough to deal with. She rubbed her hand on Ruby's head messing up her hair a bit as the poor girl pouted and paled.
"Yang... cant... breathe... let... go..." She said with a gasp after each word as she was beginning to lose consciousness,just before she lost consciousness she felt the pressure completely disappear as she sat down gasping for air for a moment.
"Ooops...?" Yang said shyly, as she was scratching the back of her head nervously. She never understood how to hold back, she could understand it when she was fighting someone but holding back in normal moments were something she could never do.
'You definitely went too far on the hug..' The kitsune spoke with a grin, as if expecting this, which in whole honesty it had. It watched all the moments the Body had before giving Naruto control.
'Oh don't you even start fur ball!' She snarled at it in her thoughts, honestly she didn't even realize she was doing that.
Watching this with amusement, Taiyang shook his head and chuckled. ' Ah, these two never change...and I hope they don't...' He was happy seeing his Daughter's little moment since, this could be their last one. He was glad that her daughters were like this, in his eyes he knew they would change eventually but he didn't want things to change. He wanted them to always be his children so he could always protect them, and when Yang went searching for her real mother this just reinforced it. Poor girl, almost died because she wanted answers. He knew it was a selfish thing for him to want, but honestly he didn't care.
"Well, I'll see you at the Bullhead going to Beacon, I'm sure you wanna say goodbye to your friends in Signal Right?" Yang Spoke, with her usual cheery tone. She was honestly going to go for a ride on her motorcycle and look around the city before heading to the bullhead, Funny how she knows what the new technology could do and how to ride bumblebee. Then again her body's memories were basically a tutorial and introduction to this place.
"You wanna make a bet?" Ruby said with challenge, already knowing yang would agree due to her competitive nature.
"What kinda bet?" Yang replied, with a fire in her eyes, she always loved a good challenge.
"a bet on who gets to the Bull head first. I win you get me cookies, You win and I give you some lien to go buy you ramen at a simple wok." Ruby stated with a smile, knowing she'd win.
"Oh, you're on little sis." Yang said with delight, ramen is worth it to her, also a strawberry sunrise. she couldn't say no to getting free ramen.
"Great!" Ruby exclaimed with a cheer before disappearing and leaving behind rose petals.
Yang turned her head to her father who was shaking his head in disappointment.
"What?"Yang said with concern, from what her father was doing it was like he knew what was about to happen.
"Did you really forget Ruby's semblance?" Taiyang Stated, as if hoping that would explain it, while Yang was still curious. 'Honestly what's wrong its not lik-' She was about to boast in her mind until she remembered and paled. Her little sister had a speed semblance and would win without a doubt.
But then remembered something else, she could use chakra and get there faster and honestly she might ramen was her addiction something she would do anything for, and with that she had made a decision.
She would use chakra.
'Sorry little sis' but when it comes down to it you only brought this on yourself.'
(Highway, Vale)
Yang was driving her motorcycle, through the highway, and discarded the helmet this time, but still had it hang off of Bumblebee, her motorcycle in case she ever need it. It shared in her favor of colors, Having a yellow carbon-fiber body, wit a tint of flame orange. and a small rectangular windscreen.
[15 minutes earlier]
Before heading down the highway to the docks yang had stopped by 'From Dust Till Dawn'. she had bought some kunai from the kind old man and a pouch to store them,after that she restocked on fire dust rounds. She sat outside waiting for Ruby to start the race off of course Ruby had to show up at 'From Dust Till Dawn' before starting the race. She waited for about 15 minutes before she saw rose petals next to her and got on her ride.
"You sure you have enough Lien for my lunch?" Yang, teased, though she was actually pretty serious about it. she could never truly be full to the brim.
"Do YOU have enough for my cookies?" Ruby emphasized, obviously thinking she'd win.
'If only she knew..' Yang chuckled mentally, she was going to win the free ramen no matter what.
"On three..."
"One..."
"Two.."
"Three!" Ruby, exclaimed, as she activated her semblance as she began to spring to the docks.
"Hey!" Yang yelled before starting her engine and riding it up the highway, she dodge multiple cars in her way before she noticed a truck pulling a ramp.
'Well, lets have some fun eh?' She thought with a smirk. Before she revved the engine and accelerated and jumped the ramp provided by the truck. She landed on a truck before she raced off it and noticed Ruby was ahead of her. She began to revs it further as it began to close in on Ruby.
Ruby noticed, and began to sprint even further away from Yang. Forcing yang to us chakra to catch up.
'You only live once.' she thought with excitement, her motorcycle began to get cloaked in chakra making it look like a comet, as she began to accelerate at a faster pace. She eventually paced ruby and jumped her motorcycle off a still being constructed side of the freeway and landed right in front of the docks.
a few short moments later Ruby showed up next to her. "No fair! You cheated!" Ruby complained with a pout, she really wasn't ready for what Yang planned on doing.
Yang rolls her eyes and replies. "Whatever you owe me lunch now, little sis. You have your bag with you right..?"
"Course duh! Why would I NOT have my Suitcase..." She yelled with a pout.
"Relax I'm just asking..." Yang spoke, scratching her neck. "Now come on we gotta get on the Bullhead before we miss our ticket to Beacon."
(Headmasters office, Beacon.)
"What should we do about this..?" Asked a Woman with blonde hair and Emerald eyes, She wore a white , long sleeved pleated top with a keyhole neckline, and a black high-waisted pencil skirt. This was Glynda Goodwitch a stern and serious teacher of beacon.
"All in due time Glynda for now we must be prepared for the students." spoke a middle aged man with tousled white hair and thin brown eyes. He wore shaded spectacles, A black suit over a buttoned vest and green shirt, dark black trouser shoes and dark green pants.
"If you say so Ozpin." She spoke before taking her leave, The room was silent for a moment before Ozpin activated his scroll.
"Qrow, your nieces are going to arrive at beacon today." He informed the person on the other side of the call, now known as Qrow.
the voice let out a sigh "I'm Guessing you've met with Ruby already." He stated already knowing the answer. "So whats the call about you don't call unless it's urgent."
"Nothing really just wondering, Has Raven's daughter always been able use aura like this..?" He asked out of curiosity, he knew Qrow would know of what happened on the highway since he was the one who sent him the footage.
"Dunno it didn't look like aura, but I sure as hell am not letting Ironwood see this. He'd only try to 'interrogate' her about this. She's always been more of a mystery to me, one moment she's seems cheery and doesn't give a damn and when everyone is gone she just doesn't do anything like she's deep in thought. Why do you ask?"
"You and I both know Qrow, Something is coming to Remnant, and its my duty to make sure we still stand." Ozpin, replied, before looking back at the footage of the highway where a motorcycle cloaked in energy went past, before he paused the recording.
'Yang Xiao Long. Just who are you?'
