Chapter 4 The New White Fang

Mistral Nighttime

It was late almost the end of the same day Kituma killed the demon Preta and for the rest of it look around nearly all of Anima to find a black rose to give to Blake. As he walks back to a town where a Howling Brother's workshop is he and Rebellious chat for a bit.

Kituma: So you don't mind you're whole existence is just being my sword?

Rebellious responded with sounds that Kituma could strangely understand to some extent. It said to Kituma that one being in this sword body is pretty cool along with the fact Kituma going to be using for killing he be very content with that. Kituma could not argue with that as they continue to head into town. Rebellious asked him a question.

Kituma: Why I don't- AHH No I'm not going to have my way with her! That's not who I am.

The sword did not understand him but he decides not to question his wielder for now, but if this Blake rejects him he will penetrate her himself. Meanwhile elsewhere we check on the person would fight through the deepest pits of hell to save, Blake Belladonna.

Kuo Kuana

Blake was strolling to her house and her family thinking about what Adam wanted to see her and talk with her. He talks to her. The place they wanted to speak was outside the village near a cliff. He was standing staring across the sea. Blake was a couple of feet away and asked Adam.

Blake: Adam what you want to say to me?

Adam turned to her and smiled to see she came when he called to her like a good girl. He said to his lovely Blake.

Adam: I heard about your father betrayal of the cause. He is a coward.

Blake usually is defensive of her father, but she trusts Adam and wants to know what he means by betrayal to the cause? Adam knew she was a curious pet, so he enlightens her with what he knows.

Adam: I learn your father been talking with Sienna taking over for a long time and him taking Roger's place soon but his death came, and he decides to make it public.

Blake was now disappointed in her father, and she knew why he did not like using violence to achieve equality which she sort of agrees but those ways have not made any changes, so a new approach might be the key to give Faunus equal rights finally. Blake knew if she wanted to stay with the White Fang, she has to run away from home. Blake said to him.

Blake: I know what to do but…. Kituma he might not agree with the cause but.

She was thinking about him wondering if he would come with her so she can have someone Blake can trust close by her if she is running away from home. Adam got annoyed when she said his name.

Adam: That fox please he brings shame to his family. A family of warriors who did not fear using their blades to solve their problems but is too afraid to do that.

Blake: He is… I don't know…

Her feeling was like a raging storm could not decide what she feels she fear Adam but love him at the same time. But she has feeling towards Kituma but has weakened over the years. Adam walks up and place a hand on her shoulder and said to her with her only seeing him with his mask over his face.

Adam: Blake once you escape those traitors you will forever be mine and mine alone.

Blake was blind by her dedication to the White Fang love for Adam to fail to see how creepy and possessive he was towards her. She said she would, and he smiled knowing he soon have her forever and no one will take her away from him. Blake spends the rest of the day prepare mentally for it and arranged to leave on a boat to the White Fang HQ in Anima. She decides to invite Kituma along, but he did not answer when she calls so decide to wait till later to text him again. Soon we return to the present.

She stood in front of her home, the place she grew up for most of her life, and now she was going to leave it behind. She knew around this time of the day Kali be preparing desert which was likely Tuna as usual, and Ghira will be in his office. She knew this was the best time to run away without them trying to stop her. Blake quietly opens the front door and start heading in and up the stairs. She went up quietly so mother or father could hear her going up the steps to the second floor of the house and head to her room. She past Kituma's room planning to go in there and pack for him in case he wants to go. She enters her room and starts packing stuff into her backpack along with a large bag as well to carry some things for both Blake and Kituma. Once she got all the thing she needs in her room but she stays in as she heard someone heading up the stairs.

Kali walks towards Ghira office and tells him the Tuna was done. Once she was away she exits her room and enters Kituma's room and pack up stuff in there. She packs him some clothes his many journals and she notices one of the titles was called Grimm powers? She wanted to open it and read it and see what for a title like that but she did not have the time she had to get going. She texts Kituma to met her at the tree they first met. Seconds later he responds with sure. Now all Blake had to do was exit the house with three full bags two were carrying bags and one regular bag no pressure or anything.

She exits the room and heads down the stairs, but the bags were slowing her down a bit. As she heads down the stairs, her grips on the bag her and Kituma's stuff are in slip from her grasps and start sliding down the stairs making a lot of noise. Anyone could have heard that specially Faunus' with superb hearing. She ran the stair no longer carrying about being listened to since they likely listened to the bag going down the stairs. She soon grabs the bag on the ground in front of the stairs and force the door open and was about making a mad dash out of there.

Kai: Blake? Sweet where are you going at this time of night?

She asked her girl, her baby girl why is leaving? The idea she was running away had crossed her mother's mind. Blake could not look Ghira was there as well, but he did not know the words to say to convince her to stay. Blake said not looking at them she could not bear to talk to them right in their faces.

Blake: Adam told me you plan to leave long before Roger's death even came. Are you giving up on gaining the equality we all desire? What we deserve!

Both knew she had a point, but she deserves to understand their reason for it.

Ghira: Blake we don't have the heart to use more direct methods to achieve equality.

He was talking about using violence; it was something Roger would not agree with and Ghira as well. Blake anger burn into a boil, and she shouted out with tears running down her face, but neither could see it.

Blake: YOU'RE BOTH COWARDS! I HATE YOU BOTH!

She went through the door and closed behind her and shove a piece of wood between the handles of the door as she ran with the three bags in her hands. As she ran, she heard Ghira trying to open the door and failing. And when almost of hearing range she heard he finally broke the door open at last but she no longer in eyesight as she heads towards the tree Kituma was waiting for her. Meanwhile, at the said tree Kituma lean against it waiting for her.

Kituma: five flower stores no black rose just my luck.

The sword said to Kituma something only he could understand him. Kituma explains to Rebellious that Black Rose is very rare and hard to come by. No wonder Adam did not get one but then again he likely only just went into one store, and just a bought a rose not carrying if she asked for a black one, not a regular red color one. Before Kituma and Rebellious could talk about what came first the chicken or the egg he felt a powerful, sad emotion coming towards them. He glances in the direction it was coming his way. Kituma saw who It was and dash towards her.

Kituma: BLAKE!

He shouted as he dashes towards her when he saw her coming but also trip over and hit the dirt hard. He ran and check on her but before he could ask what happen she press her head into him crying and said to him.

Blake: I ran away from home. My parents abandon the cause I'm… I'm…

She could not say the words out loud. She felt Kituma move around as her head press into his chest. Then Blake felt an arm resting on her back along with under her legs and lift her into his arm like Blake was her bride. She removes her head from and looks at him as he had the bags on him and was carrying her and starting to move to the boat since he knew about it coming and figuring out where Blake was going. Blake was confused about why he was going with her even though he did not like using violence.

Blake: Why? Why are you carrying me? I can walk on my own feet.

She was demanding him to let her go, but she felt she need to walk there. Kituma looked at her with a smile and said to the girl he loves most in the world.

Kituma: Yes you can. But I can handle these bags plus you look tired.

Blake was and she decides not to argue and actually fell asleep in his arms. And so he carries a sleeping Blake and all the bags with not much difficult to the boat. He soon arrives at the boat and found a room and put her on the bed of a room and all the bags as well. he decides not to leave her side until she wakes so Kituma took this time to write. He wrote in his journal he calls Weapon Journal new moves he thinks he can do with his new sword and such. He decides to call his energy slash attack Dark Drive not sure on the drive part but he likes the sound of it. He thought maybe he can do that dagger energy attack with his sword for more piecing damage than cutting damage. Or he could do a horizontal one to get a group of people in one attack.

After hours of brainstorming and drawing them down with quick pictures of what they might look like he soon put the book down and rest leaning against the bed, Blake was on and get some sleep himself. The fellow morning came and Blake was first to wake and she felt nice in bed. Wait bed? He actually did carry her all the way to the boat and into a room? She got up and notice her head was resting on a pillow and she was covered in a nice blanket. Blake soon notices Kituma had fallen asleep resting against the bed. He did not leave her side except needing to go to the restroom.

Blake smiled Kituma always a carrying person. She put her pillow behind his bed and put the blanket on him. She was about to leave when she decided to check on his journal about his weapons. She picked it up and start reading it. He did not have them very focus and like he just writing ideas down for any weapon he has. But he does say which weapon it's for.

Monjiro Move Universal Slash: sheath sword and unsheathe really fast and focus on one area or a target. Energy slash show forms around and starts doing their work. I have not to try to make a massive area of effect with but it might slow them done but it also means less slash in exchange for strength.

Blake always knew Kituma was not always the smartest kid around though not the dumbest either. But when it comes to combat he was a genius. Yeah, Adam was very skilled with his Wilt and Blush but Kituma was on another level. Sure Adam is a better swordsman but only because he is older and had more time to train with his weapon. But Kituma could match Adam even with his short time. Saber had to get him extra stuff so he did not blow past the rest of the kids even her. She looks further in the book and saw moves about his new weapon?

She finally notices his weapon which was a giant black sword with red glowing eyes. It was kind of creepy like it was staring at him. She decides to try to ignore it and wonder what new idea's he got for his new sword.

Rebellious move Soaring Darkness: I can toss my sword like a boomerang and let it fly towards enemies or toss it around me and hit foes surrounding me. A very unique move but I got a different type of range attacks.

Blake: toss that thing? Wow, Kituma is either really strong or really dumb. But that one part she found charming he was not above taking a risk. She notices he had another move he called Dark Drive and it actually quite interesting and she wonders maybe can replicate it with her weapon? She put the book down where she found it and decide to stretch her legs because it is later afternoon when they arrive at the base. After a long boat ride and later bus ride they soon arrive at the large Japanese fortress of Kituma's great grandfather Miyamoto. Once they arrive Adam was there and Blake ran to him and press her head into his chest. Kituma hart fell and he left to set up in a room. Adam patted her back lightly an said.

Adam: Blake you did the right thing. Now no one can talk you away from me.

Blake was just happy to be happy with Adam.

A week passed before Kituma Ilia and Blake got a mission with other lower rank member on a special mission. Ilia wore her short leg sleeves stealth suit. Blake was wearing a purple hoodie with white pants while wearing a white fang mask like Ilia with her custom mask. Kituma's attire was a black hood coat wearing a black shirt with the new white fang logo red on the center. He wore blue jeans and boots as well. they were arm with their normal weapons Kituma decide to leave Rebellious behind since the mission was a stealth one just hijack a train that suspects to hold not only dust but also in the rumor some Faunus Slaves aboard as well.

They were just waiting on top of a mountain in Anima and plan to drop on the train from above and get aboard from there. It was a far drop east for everyone. Kituma was sitting on a rock waiting patient he actually joining the much colder air it was too hot for him in Kuo Kuana. Meanwhile, Ilia and Blake were talking.

Ilia: He carries you all to the boat with bags and all?

Blake nodded. Ilia figure he did not share his feeling towards her yet so she decides not to ask about it just yet. But Blake said out loud not really to Ilia.

Blake: Did he do it because he saw how pathetic I look? Or did he do it because he was a good person?

She wonders since she knew Kituma took the job at Roger's place because Roger was having a hard time and wanted to aid the old man. Was it the same thing just she was too sad and weak and tried to do it herself and decide to pity her and carry it and her for it? Ilia said what she thought.

Ilia: I think it just who Kituma is he care a lot and wants to help people. Remember when one teacher was trying to get over her husband's death and for the first week, he asks if she okay and she had to stop him for saying it every class day. and then a week later he came in with a drawing of her husband which was detailed saying. "I'm never gone."

Blake remembers it and actually said the final drawing was her but he did make the rough idea and the quote. But she actual cry and thank him and years later like on his birthday she drew a drawing for him since she was the art teacher after all. it was a fox guardian a fire pit with a sword in his muzzle protecting it from monsters trying to put out the fire. Kituma love it and he sort of understands what is going on in the image.

Before they could continue talking the train was coming and it was a fast one so if they miss well all this time was a waste. Everyone got on the edge of the cliff ready to drop down on the train and get to work. Once it was close enough Kituma went first and he decides to show off to a crowd. He turns to them and did a gesture that means see you later and then he fell back down towards the train. Blake and Ilia roll their eyes why now does he try to show off as they job off. Kituma while falling he crosses his legs and put his arms behind his head enjoying the descent to the train.

But when he hit the train he bounces off and starts rolling and bouncing down the train. The rest landed find but they were concern namely Blake. He was about to fall off the train like a dumbass if he did not grab onto the rail on the caboose. He climbs over and was on the train but not the roof it like what they all wanted. Blake said across the radio in their masks.

Blake: Fox since you're not dead go through the train car and catch up with us so we don't need to backtrack.

Kituma: Don't worry Kitty I will gladly come from the rear.

Making a bad sex joke all shook their heads.

Ilia: Really?

Kituma: Somebody needs to keep the mood up or it is depressing vile.

They decide to talk more when they need to but for now, focus on the mission they are. Kituma look at the door and said himself.

Kituma: I hope there something because I was not here for a jog along the train. I came to the party.

The guards of the train that were assigned to the caboose were trading their trophy from Faunus who tried to escape or ones they killed for sport. Then the door kicked down knocking one guard out. And from outside came Kituma he looks pretty intimidated in his White Fang outfit along with him trying to be scary. He checks and notes there were about 10 people not going to be too hard for him.

Kituma: Sorry guys but fox hunting season is over. But guess what season it is?

One drew an assault rifle and unload on Kituma but the fox sheath Monjiro a bit and block the bullets as they bounce harmlessly to the ground. But one shoot Kituma aim Monjiro and force forward and actual bounce the bullet off and it flew straight into power the source and shot the lock protecting it. They all turn to it and as they turn to Kituma with anger he drew Kitsune and fire once more destroying it and the lights went out. The battle was cloak in shadow. The only light from outside but it did not help the humans much and the flash from firing their guns.

A few minutes later Kituma exit that cart looking back and saw some killed each other by accident but he did not kill any himself he did not like killing unless he is left no option. He looks at the thing that holds the train cars together and said over the radio.

Kituma: Hey you mind if I remove cars starting with the Caboose? I will only do so if there is nothing there and it also makes it harder for help to arrive.

He got sure from Blake so he did it. Kituma slices the lock breaking it and he saw the Caboose being left behind. He enters the next cart. The next cart had the slaves in good since that's why they came.

Kituma: alright brothers listen up I'm going to go ahead while you stay in the cart behind me once I say it's clear to go you go to the next and so on. Got it?

Everyone agrees. Kituma smiled as he started to free the 5 slaves that were there which was not huge but every person free counts. He heads into the next cart and saw the group fighting and he joins in with Monjiro and said.

Kituma: Finally join the main event. The slaves in the cart behind me told them to wait behind us until the path is clear.

Blake nodded and so they fought the Atlesian Knight that were aboard and some high-rank Schnee Dust company guards and employees. With Kituma there he deflects bullets while the rest fire at them destroying the couple remaining robots. He decides to deal with robots since then he did not have to worry about hitting too hard and killing them.

He slices one robot top off its waste before beheading the metal beast. He moves to the next one and tosses his sword at one piercing its head killing it. Kitum uses Kitsune to shoot the head of one clean off killing. And with Neko, her rapid-fire one across his chest almost cutting it in half. With a kick, it split into 2. And he walks to the sword and removes the blade from the head and sheath the blade. He turns and he saw one person trying to crawl to the alarm and before anyone could knock him the back of his head explode and a whole piece to the front. A White Fang member shot him through the head killing him. All turn to him.

WF Goon: Good no alarm.

Kituma stomps over and shouted.

Kituma: WHY DID YOU DO THAT!

WF Goon: Doing our job he would alert everyone he deserves worse.

Kituma: YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO KILL ANYONE!

WF Goon: you just being a pu-

Kituma karate chops his neck knocking him out and walk away. He will leave his ass behind he did not care for him. They got to the front of the train and they drove off with the dust leaving the carts they did not need in their dust. Kituma thought on the train ride he not going to like this new White Fang but he will do what he must to keep Blake safe but how long will he be able to stomach it.
