A/N

I spent the last month making and training with a scythe to get myself better accustomed to how to use such a weapon. As I already know how to use a sword and spear among other hand held weapons.

Now lets get back to the story shall we? LL14 out.

—-

Let's say spending weeks training my aura and whatever weapons Qrow deems necessary was quite tedious.

Week number one was Qrow showing me how to use my Aura more efficiently. And I quote "Shino your Aura is used poorly. No grim is going to sit by as you do something with it"

That's what I was told. And I wholeheartedly agree with him, I could feel my Aura being used up rather fast just to augment myself. When Qrow had me spar against Ruby, combined with her semblance and prodigal-like ass kicking she gave me.

I realized how large of a gap I had. Pre Volume 6 Jaune would probably be able to mop the floor with me.

Though I might be exaggerating. For someone who fuck monkeys around with Aura I cant be that horrible right? I didn't go through Air Force boot camp for nothing.

Week number two I could see more progress in both my aura and control of my sword. Though Qrow may be a drunk he takes training more seriously than I took my pilot training. And since I became his daughter and OzyFuckeru practically ordered him to make me huntsman worthy.

Qrow's training regimine is practically hell. Up at five in the morning. Training with aura for eight hours, don't forget he has physical training mashed in it. Around three in the afternoon. He and harbinger kicked my ass until nine Pm sharp.

Qrow's a slave driver when he wants to be. Hell the dude expects me to eat while fending him off.

I told him "you'd fit right in with the grim" He chuckled and replied "Yeah? I'm apparently not trying hard enough"

He added three more hours that day.

On week number three. I finally had enough of a grasp on my Aura I could successfully parry and dodge some of his attacks. Around mid week was when I finally snapped.

Glowering at Qrow as I ducked under his horizontal slash. My eyes having dark rings under them, looking very much like a discount coon.

Bringing the sword up. Hilt pointed to the sky and I braced my forearm against it. Another bright flash of sparks in the night. My fatigue and anger highlighting our location. Tripping on a root. My faunus night vision helped as Qrow blurred into my guard.

Stumbling back against a tree my breathing ragged. Qrow and I's blades locked. Making eye contact. My tired and angry blue clashed with calm red. I gritted my teeth. And pushed, Aura flared on my arms as I used it to enhance.

More sparks lit up the night. Qrow didn't let me gain an inch. The older man moved faster than my eyes could follow. And suddenly my body bent as his fist slammed into my gut. "Ack" My aura cracked and fizzled out. Drooping to my knees. "Alright, kiddo that was better than last time"

Panting. My ribs still shooting pain throughout "Why" I asked. Qrow crouched next to me. Harbinger's point sinking in the dirt. Clenching my fists. "Because. I'd rather have you make it-" swinging out my left fist in a basic clumsy strike missed.

"Kid, listen. You were made a part of this family" He paused. Listening to the crickets " And You're my kid now. If I can help it. I'll make you the best damn huntress remnant has ever seen"

My tired mind relayed a right hook this time. He caught my fist. Snarling and ignoring his words. I went to swing with my left again. Only this time Qrow grabbed my forearm. "Calm down" the huntsman asked.

My energy got zapped. Like a switch I would've dropped like a sack of bricks. Except Qrow caught my weight. Too weak to stand "You'll get the day off tomorrow. Rest and me and you will draw up weapon designs"

Too tired to care "Okay" I mumbled.

Week number four was spent drawing up weapon Ideas. I eventually settled on a short sword that's grip could extend like Harbingers.

My heart was set on a scythe like Qrows but since I was highly compatible with short swords and pole axes. Qrow and I Came up with a sickle alternate mode. So like harbeners the blade would separate and curve into a sickle like point that was set on a pole.

The end result was a functional scythe with a thin blade. Lighter than Crescent Rose and Harbinger.

At first glance United looked like a starved Scythe. It was thin. Almost laughably thin.

Though when asked I told Qrow that grim isn't the only enemies I plan to fight.

Week five and six and part of seven was used in getting used to my shortsword sickle-half-scythe.

Now I was proficient in both my weapon and aura. Holding my own against Ruby and becoming a challenge for Yang. Speaking of Yang, I was still awkward with her because of what happened so many nights ago.

Today I was sitting on the right wing of my A10. paint bucket in my lap as I was adding artwork of the two nevermores I offed. I had on a near skin tight black shirt. My Air Force jacket on over that.

And some forest green cargo pants. Topped off with my trusty .45 strapped to my leg. United clipped onto my back. Hilt facing the ground. Smiling slightly as I made the bird look like swiss cheese.

'It's hard to think I'm actually in rwby' my smile slowly faded. Finishing up the last nevermore.

I ran a hand on the wing solemnly. My tail slowly wrapped around my black boot. Dropping the brush back into the bucket with a wet plop. Looking over the body of the A10. from the nose art of a wraith to the kill counts. Then to the already dried memorial paint work. To Pickaxe and Airhead.

Shaking my head. I sprung up to my feet. Snached up the bucket. Hopping of The hogs wing I landed with a thump. And began my walk back to the house. Fondly running my hand on the A10s chin. I stopped briefly to scratch under the gatling gun. "Woof" I lightly snarked at the old war bird.

Spinning on my heel. Leaving the last physical memory of my county to stand by. Defiant and strong as always.

Schooling my expression to that of what it usually is. Stoic with a hint of mischief dancing in my eyes.

After the longish walk I passed the house and made my way to the Xiao Long's shed. Or as Yang calls it 'The Bumblebee House' Sliding the door open I Carefully set the paint bucket down a good distance from Yangs bike.

Cause she'd probably skin me alive if any got on her baby. Closing up the shed I padded my way up the front steps. Pushing the door open and making my way to the kitchen where I could hear the obvious noise of lunch being made.

"Hey Tai" getting the man's attention. The beef cake of a man turned around. "Ya?" I leaned on the door frame "Where's Punmaster, Rubes and Qrow at?"

Tai cracked a slight smirk at my nickname for his eldest "Well Yang and Ruby are out In town. Said something about an arcade?" He hummed. "Qrow's upstairs sleeping" he dropped into a deadpan.

Tai turned around and opened a cupboard. Shrugging to myself. I went to leave "Hey. Chino" Tai skipped the S. "Yeah?" Crossing my arms I questioned.

I watched as his previous expression morphed into a devil-like grin. Bringing the full to the brim cup of water. Away from him and towards me. "I don't think your dad should be sleeping during the day"

My eyes dashed back and forth. Cup. Tai. Cup. Tai. and finally back to the cup. And a sinister grin broke across my face and his further widened to cartoon like proportions.

Rubbing my sharp chin. "You knoo. What he's been kinda mean with that trainin" swiping the cup I strutted off. Not missing the sink turning on again.

Operation Fuck With The Bird shall comence.

Now upstairs I made a pit stop to the bathroom to grab a tube of shaving cream. I cantered the last few feet to another door and pushed it open. Seeing as it was left ajar.

Qrow was left at mine and Tai's mercy. Un capping the weird tube of shaving cream I began squirting it along the hardwood floor in a zig zag fashion. Qrow left his shoes on. Good. I kneeled and lathered up the tread with the Slipies.

Discarding the now empty tube. I stealthy tiptoed to the door and drew my arm back.

And let the water fly. Cup and all. "FUcK" Qrow woke stood up with a half tired snarl pointed in my direction.

I flipped the bird and took off down the hall. Hearing 180-200 pounds of pissed off huntsman slide into the wall behind me as he hit the secondary trap. Cruising I hear him stomp after me. The whirring of harbinger ringing out.

Ducking and sliding under Tai's legs. He had a big pot full of water. I Heard a splash A garbled squawk. Turning on my feet. Still sliding off my excess energy. A very wet crow changed in a poof of black smoke and feathers..

Qrow himself was upon me. A flash of cyan as I crouched he flew over me and kissed the couch.

I Panted in excitement. Qrow sat up with a snarl. "Where?! Is she!" Tai laughed "I dunno dude!"

"Alright Shino!" Tai called out after Qrow calmed down. "Come out!"

My eyebrows furrowed. "Tai! I'm right here" Qrow frowned "seriously kid, I won't kill you"

Turning my head "Qrow?" walking up to my guardian I waved a hand in his line of sight as he looked around.

Tai crossed his arms behind me. "It sounds like someones walking around in here"

I just unlocked my semblance didn't I? Shrugging I balled up my hand and pushed Qrow with my knuckles. My eyes bugged as my hand went right through him. 'Uhh. what the fuck?'

Looking down at my legs I noticed they were slightly see through. As well as my hands. Qrow seemed to shudder "Gods it's cold in here" I heard Tai shuffle "Its summer Qrow" Qrow shook his head "Nah, there has to be a draft" Qrow shook himself off.

I Paused. 'Holy shit. I'm a ghost No. Wraith?' thinking. 'Become seeable?' shaking my head. That didn't work. Closing my eyes I felt for my Aura like Qrow taught me.

Frowning at the cold and almost weak feel of my usually. Warm water feeling Aura. I attempted to will it to become Warm like it normally is. Just like that and it was warm again. Another flash of cyan amd a couple confused yells.

And I was standing in front of Tai and Qrow. Both huntsmen looked like fish out of water as I appeared there.

Rubbing the back of my neck. Throwing my other hand up in a shrug "I guess I unlocked my semblance"

Tai nodded dumbly, luckly Qrow saved him the embarrassment "Is that why you disappeared?"

Nodding An affirmative "I turned into a ghost or some shit" without missing a beat "That, if true can become a very powerful semblance" Qrow nodded off, likely thinking of how good i'll be for Ozlumnati's war.

I watched as Tai's eyes widened. "Wait, so your weapon went with you?" I nodded once again. 'Wait, does this mean I can make the A10 both near silent and invisible?' Still silent, I failed to answer Tai.

'I'll be just like a F35…Near undetectable until it's too late' Coming out of my thoughts "Yeah, I think"

'Let's test that theory' Willing my soul to change. I was gone in a flash. Turning to Qrow. I cocked my arm back and let my fist fly and decloaked. And wham! In a flash Qrow was sprawling and cursing and I was visible again.

"Sorry Qrow!" I laughed. Grinning like a fool. 'Maybe, my life on remnant won't be so horrible'
