Izanami and Raven

Series: RWBY

xxxxxxxxxxxx

-Mistral, Branwen Camp-

Raven laid in her bed while looking ready to both cry and punch someone in the face, especially after what happened in Haven. 'Stupid fallen maiden! Stupid Salem! S...Stupid child!'

Yep, she was in an emotional breakdown. And it was all due to confronting her daughter, her weapons for some reason, AND a team with both humans AND weapon girls! So yeah, it's kinda hard to take in.

'I shouldn't be upset, I'm a warrior! People get upset BY me, not the other way around!' She thought while looking ready to ball her eyes out as she kept her face on the silk pillow. 'If any of the others saw me like this, they'd think me a disgrace!'

Which was true, especially if she told everyone that Vernal got killed by a woman with WEAPON GIRLS or that said proxy HAD a similar weapon girl that committed suicide RIGHT after the death. Yeah, she'd be deemed weak and insane in a matter of seconds.

'I need to grab me some booze from my stash. I swear Qrow's habits are contagious.' Raven thought while not seeing her blade glowing blood red in the corner of the tent. 'And I need a strong one too!'

The weapon seemed to watch her as she got up and walked over to a secret chest in the wall. 'Such a foolish woman.'

'Now where is that booze? No.' She chucked out some weird items like a strange white gun that said 'Aperture Science' on it and a gold and white blade that seemed to be glowing blue for a second. 'Some of the things I find I should really get rid of, or sell.'

As she dumped some of the items, the blade slowly moved towards her and tapped her shoulder before dropping to the floor.

"Huh?" she turned with a frown. 'How did my weapon get over here? I had it set in the corner.'

That was when she noticed that the sword had a bit of 'rust' near its blade in the shape of an eye.

"That's odd, I'm sure this was recently sharpened." Raven muttered before picking it up as the 'rust' 'blinked' at her. "What the….fuck?"

'Hello partner in arms.' said a voice similar to a hardened warrior but with a hint of gloom around it. 'Hows being a coward?'

Raven's eyes widened before she dropped the sword and backed up.

'Ow. Hey, don't be so surprised. You've seen the weapon spirit species already, dumbo.'

"No. No no no no, you have GOT to be kidding me."

The sword floated up. 'I'm not, coward. I'm as real as the maiden powers you took.'

Raven frowned and narrowed her eyes. "I'm not going to be called that by my own sword. If you ARE like those others, then you will listen to me. Now shut up, and be silent, forever."

'Nope. Sorry, I'm not going to be quiet, after all, you still need me.' The voice chuckled. 'The great and powerful Izanami!'

"Wrong." spoke Raven walking away. "What I need is a weapon I can rely on. A weapon that does what it was made to do, slay my enemies, not talk back to me."

'So like your team? The one you ran from when Summer died? Isn't that right?' It asked with a sense of dark humor.

Raven scowled before walking over to a table and grabbed a hammer. "If you're not going to listen, then I'll have to reforge a new blade from scratch."

'And lose all the work you put into me? Raven Raven Raven, that's so Salem of you.' Izunami chuckled. 'But seriously, don't try. If you destroy me, you lose a potential allie.'

"Forget it. I'd rather make a new blade that doesn't show me disrespect than one that reminds me of those...others I saw."

'Oh those weapon spirits are all over the world. Heck Summer's weapon spirit was a fan of you and the guys, crazy as fuck.'

Raven paled in horror while dropping the hammer.

'Too soon?'

"You've GOT to be kidding."

'I'm not. So want to talk?' Izanami asked while floating over to her. 'I can do my human form or this form if you like.'

"I shudder to imagine what your human form is like. You weapons are spontaneous and random when it comes to those."

'I know, but I don't have two heads or chains coming out of my mouth. So relax coward.' Izanami deadpanned. 'Plus you might like it. It has a Mistral feel to it. After all you did steal some rare Dust and a hint of copper from a Mistral mine during your childhood.'

"It was a right of passage."

'I know ya foolish coward.'

"Call me that one more time and I'll melt you down." she warned with a glare.

'Ok. Okubyōmono.' Izanami said while Raven felt irked for some reason. 'So ready for my human form?'

"Just do it and get it over with."

It chuckled before glowing bright red as several skulls formed around the area along with dark purple fog.

Raven shielded her eyes while getting a sinking feeling.

The fog got thicker and thicker as it started to feel more like a graveyard then a tent.

'Is she trying to scare me?' she thought. 'If so, she's failing at it.'

That was when a voice could be heard. "One, two, three, four."

She darted around while the counting continued until a long skeletal hand touched her cheek.

"Ten! Ha ha ha!"

Raven jolted and swung her hand out and grabbed it.

The hand moved back while the voice chuckled. "Well I guess you're not AS bad a coward as I imagined. I mean you grabbed my hand and didn't faint like the time you saw the pale skinned bitch."

Raven frowned while still unable to see clearly. She looked at the hand and gave it a squeeze. "Where's your skin?"

"Oh that, seven of my arms are skinless because it's covered in Dust." Izanami said from the fog. "I have nine arms, two of which have skin. The others were made because of your need to have Dust slots and detachable blades in battle. So my skinless hands are easily brittle and breakable, while at the same time capable of regenerating."

"Just show your form!"

"Hold on, I can't see you in this fog." She admitted while seven other hands appeared and started spinning like fans.

FLOSH!

Sending the mist out of the tent along with Raven.

"...oops."

ZOOP!

And cue Raven popping back in the tent from a portal, looking annoyed.

"I'm done waiting." She frowned. "Show me your…."

But she trailed off as she saw a tall woman with long black hair going to her feet, wearing a bloody red twelve layer kimono with skulls and unearthly specters on it, dark red eyes with a hint of purple, a G cup chest and small ass, with dark black gloves on her normal looking arms as seven long bone like arms came out of her back with each one covered in either green, cyan, red, dark blue, purple, yellow or white stones that shone an unearthly color, several long blades went across her hips as her neck had a long scar that went down to her cleavage.

"What? You don't like my form?" She chuckled with merit and with a school girl charm, the goth kind that is.

Raven blinked and looked her over. "How...in all of Remnant did you look like that?"

"Like what? A sexy woman or a semi decomposing corpse with extra limbs?"

"How did you end up with several arms? You're supposed to be a single blade, that's it."

"Actually you added that feature while piss drunk." Izanami sweatdropped. "You decides that I needed to fire off Dust blades and reattach them instantly while growing twice my size. All of that HAD to go somewhere, and said spot was my arms."

"...by the gods I'm starting to wind up like my brother."

"Oh you mean the one with the bad lucky weapon or the one with the breath of a Leviathan?"

"Both."

"Good, we agree on something. Also, he really has bad breath, like can peel the rust off an Atlesian Warship kinda breath."

"I've told him that, but back on topic. Now that you've shown your human form, you can change back."

"Mmmmm...no." She said while shrugging all the arms at once. "I kinda like this form, plus I have a few words to say to you."

"If they're showing me disrespect, than forget it."

"It's a little of this and a little of that." She admitted. "And one of which is that you have a very fair body for one that gave birth."

Raven looked flustered at that.

"I mean really, you look almost like your daughter in terms of looks. And she's the spitting image of you, sans the hips, they stay forever padded."

"Can we please not talk about something like that?"

"Sure." Izanami smiled while pointing at her. "You are also a very bad mother. Leaving like that. I know you had issues with the weak, but really? Leaving her? That's just harsh, and I'm a weapon spirit that killed hundreds."

"I did it for her sake. Without me around she had the chance to grow up strong and fierce, like a true warrior."

"So did you visit?"

"We-"

"I know you visit EVERY night and EVERY time you had a gift. I was there you know." She interrupted. "Still, should've just visited like a normal mother instead of a bird. I mean she threw a BOULDER at us when she was TWO!"

Raven sighed with nostalgia at the memory. "...shut up." she muttered looking away.

Izanami shrugged. "Anyway, I'm going to say that you shouldn't have ran away from your team. Especially when Summer got herself killed. You should've just attacked Salem when you had the chance, yet you cower in fear? All because you know a maiden's life is suffering? Wow, and here I thought Ozpin and his partner in arms Dorothy were crazy."

"Shut up."

"Hit a nerve?" She smirked. "Because I'm going to push a few more buttons today."

"Some weapon you turned out to be." grumbled Raven before walking away.

Only for Izanami to appear right next to her face.

"Don't go, we still have much to talk about." She said with a smile.

"No, I'm ordering you to shut up and leave me alone. You're no longer my weapon." Raven said before seeing Izanami's eye twitching.

"You don't understand." She said with a false smile and tone. "You might be a coward, but you're still my partner in arms, aka my wife. And for us weapon spirits." She eyes glowed while the skeleton arms began to form blades. "YOU HAVE NO SAY IN ANY DIVORCE!"

Raven was caught off guard as the weapon got right in her face.

"SO NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN!" She growled while part of her face rotted away to reveal a metal skull. "GOT IT?!"

"...ok." she grumbled reluctantly.

Izanami's skull returned to normal along while the blades as she smiled. "Great, because you are cute for a cowardly wife."

'First chance I get, I'm burying her in a hole. I am NOT a coward!' Raven thought.

(A long five hour talk later)

"And that's why I think your outfit needs bunny ears." Izanami concluded while eating some gold nuggets. "I mean that outfit is cute, but rabbit ears will make you more sexy in my eyes, that and so adorable~"

"Rabbit ears? Seriously?" she raised an eyebrow. "My outfit is meant to have me ready for a battle, keep me protected, something bunny rabbits do neither of, making them completely useless."

"Yet they breed like crazy." She said while Raven lightly blushed at the innuendo. "Plus you aren't getting any younger, so try the ears and maybe one of those…..weak bandits will hit on you…" she gripped a gold nugget so tightly that it broke in half. "Yeah...hit on...you…"

'Why does she remind me of Summer after a sugar rush?' she thought before yawning. "Look, I need some rest, so let's stop talking and go to sleep."

"I don't sleep." Izanami shrugged. "Plus I haven't even told you how it embarrassing it was to be used as a toy when you and Taiyang were matin-"

"Stop right there!"

She blinked. "Ok, so we won't talk about that. How about your future plans with your daughter? Will you run out of her life or try and make things up with her, knowing you might have a fleeting chance of making her NOT want to punch you in the face WITH her partner in arms?"

"She's come far on her own, just as I wanted. She'll be fine."

"I hope so, I mean you want grandchildren right?"

"She'll have to continue the bloodline eventually."

"Good, because we can't have kids." Izanami bluntly said. "Can't have kids and I know you don't have a 'sword' in your pants. So better hope she gets married right?"

"Wait...if you can't have children, and she has her own 'partner in arms', who are extremely possessive, just HOW is she meant to have kids?"

"Either making more weapon spirits or something, we weapon spirits are weird that way. All girls yet we can't reproduce normally at all, so maybe we just let them find mates THEN dominate them. I'm not an expert at this sort of stuff." Izanami shrugged. "That would've been Badb's expertise, and she's not in the speaking mood after I left and you two started butting heads like billy goats."

Raven groaned at that. "Just go to sleep."

"Again, I can't sleep. But I can give you a massage." She said while her many arms cracked their joints.

"Then do something, just stay still while I sleep."

"..." She deadpanned. "You know that's not possible right? Like how you snore during the night?"

"I liked it better when you didn't talk and would listen."

"And I liked it when you kissed me goodnight every day." Izanami sighed. "Oh, those were the days, when you were first starting out as leader of this tribe. I still can't believe one thing."

"What?"

"That you tried to keep them safe, even with Salem and her kin trying to destroy you. I thought you would just let them die like pawns in a chess game."

"What leader would I be if I let my soldiers die? No one to listen to me would mean I'd have to start over from scratch."

"Plus this is your family's tribe." Izanami sighed before walking over and gave Raven a kiss on the cheek. "Make that OUR tribe, cowardly partner in arms~"

Raven became very flustered as Izanami walked to the bed and laid on her side, while exposing her chest.

"So want to rest on my bosom or my ass~?"

'What is wrong with her?!' she thought with a blush. 'Trying to talk sense into her and make her listen is like dealing with Qrow!'

'How cute.' Izanami thought while patting her hand on the bed. 'Still have a lot of hate for her, but I still love her all the same. Heh, must be the 'cowardly' part of me speaking.'

(Later)

'She hasn't said anything for a while. Maybe she decided to be quiet.' thought Raven with her back to her weapon. 'Now I can make my move.'

As she turned to get out of the tent, Izanami moved and started groping Raven's ass.

"Soft baby makers~"

Raven jumped and swung her foot out.

"Ow." Izanami groaned. "Well morning to you too. Nice kick by the way."

She frowned.

"So want breakfast? To spar with me? Milk?" She pointed to her chest with a smirk.

"It's not morning yet."

"...oh. My bad." Izanami stuck her tongue out cutely.

'Great, my plan's already failed.'

"So what were you doing this late? Trying to run away from your devoted partner in arms?" She asked with a smirk.

"No...I just couldn't sleep."

"You miss Summer?" Izanami asked. "Taiyang? Qrow? Your daughter?"

"It's not that."

"Then what is it honey?"

"Don't call me that."

"Why not? It's cute."

"I am NOT cute."

"Yes you are." Izanami smiled. "Especially when you act angry."

And cue Raven looking very upset.

"Like that."

"Tell me, just what do weapon spirits do if their significant other perishes?"

"That's easy." Izanami sighed. "Either commit suicide, go into a berserker rage and kill everyone in sight, or just enter an inactive state until another person shows enough love and patience to 'jumpstart' our souls. But the last one is very rare."

'Hmmm.'

"Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"No, just had a curious question is all."

"...I don't know. You are the type to commit suicide if you have a reason to." Izanami deadpanned. "Plus you have a smirk on your face."

She lost her smirk and turned before walking out of her tent. "You're imagining things."

"Not really, after all I've seen your social cues since you were at Beacon!"

(Later)

Izanami watched Raven eating some yogurt while staring at her like a creep, in Raven's mind that is. "..."

"Quit staring."

"..."

"I mean it."

She looked at the yogurt before taking it and moved the spoon towards Raven's mouth. "Say ah."

"I can feed myself."

Izanami poked the spoon on her cheek. "Say ah, ah."

'She's REALLY pushing it!'

"Ah."

Raven grumbled while begrudgingly opening her mouth, only to get kissed by Izanami as she felt some yogurt going down her throat. "MMM?!"

"Mmm~"

Raven reached out and shoved her weapon back and wiped her mouth. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Feeding you." She smiled. "Like a bird."

"I am NOT a fucking bird!"

"Raven. Qrow." Izanami deadpanned. "Can turn into birds by Ozpin the body snatcher."

"Do I look like a bird right now?!"

"No, but you look fluffy." She used her other hands to touch the long black hair. "And very soft. Such perfect hair."

"Don't you dare change the subject." Raven frowned as Izanami was entranced with the hair and began rubbing it against her cheek.

"So soft~"

Raven felt her eye twitch and stood up. "I'm done eating."

"Eh?" Izanami looked up. "Oh, so you want to spar or something?"

She frowned. "No, I want you to buzz off."

"...eh?" She cocked her head. "Why?"

"Because you're bugging me!"

"...clarify please."

Raven facepalmed. "You're treating this like some kind of...weird date when you should know, that I am NOT looking for a relationship!"

"Actually you are." Izanami smiled while getting up. "I mean I've seen you reading your old romantic novels when no ones looking, and you really want someone to hold you. Especially after your daughter refused to come with you."

She eye twitched. "You're on thin ice."

Izanami shrugged. "True, but I'm on thin ice with you. We are sticking together even if you run away."

Raven sighed heavily.

"Plus I want to give you a gift."

"Keep it."

"But you might like it." She said while pulling out a large purple Dust crystal from her cleavage. "Found this while digging for treasure outside the encampment. I thought you might be interested. And yes, it's gravity Dust."

Raven jaw dropped in shock at the size of it. "That...That's enormous."

"Yeah. So…" she smiled with a light blush. "Happy anniversary partner in arms."

"Anniversary?"

"Yeah, todays the day you made me." Izanami smiled. "And committed to me as a partner in arms."

"...wait, you kept track?"

"Yep, for a LONG time~"

'That must have been nerve wracking.'

"So do I get a kiss for the gift?"

Raven let out an annoyed sigh. "No, but...I'll give you a hug."

"Really? A hug? No stabbing?"

"Take it or leave it."

And cue her giving Raven a very tight hug with her many arms.

SQUEEZE!

"GAH!"

"Your body is so warm and cozy."

"GAH!" Raven screamed in pain before her back gave out.

Izanami kept on hugging while nuzzling the woman's cheeks. "And it's so fluffy!"

"L-Let go!"

She kept on hugging before letting go as she gave Raven a kiss on the lips.

'Why me?!' she thought before falling down with a groan of pain.

"Anyway." Izanami smiled happily. "I'm going to get the diamond rings next week, so don't worry if we don't have a wedding on the second day~"

'Is this karma for my actions?' Raven thought while fainting from the pain. 'I see...feathers...?'
