Disclaimer, I do not own RWBY
AN/ Hello everyone, I know I've been gone a while, but I haven't had the free time needed to actually write. That being said, I need to put Broken Mind on hiatus, I don't have the time needed to research well enough to do it right. I will be putting a notice in its description and replace it in my rotation, now should I do space AU or thief AU? Leave your response in a review. Anyways, onto the chapter!
Arslan had to admit, she was enjoying herself. With the rest of her school on ships with her, they were finally able to relax before the festival.
"There you are!" Well, she was able to.
"Yes Reese, you found me, do you need something?" Arslan asked.
"Well Nadir was wondering where you went, and Bolin said, and I quote, leave my partner alone. So, I came to find you!" Reese said excitedly.
"I am only seventeen years, yet I feel like a single mother of three sometimes." Arslan sighed.
"At least you don't have to worry about Sun." Reese said.
"Yeah but now we have to deal with his team whining about their leader ditching them. Again." Arslan groaned.
"I'm surprised he actually did it. So, Beacon has an impressive lineup of first years, who do you think we'll fight?" Reese asked.
"Well, there is Pyrrha Nikos and Weiss Schnee, either one of them would be a formidable fighter." Arslan admitted.
"I heard Ozpin also admitted some kind of prodigy this year, but I can't be too sure, it was some kind of passing article, I didn't really look into it." Reese admitted.
"Send it to me, I'll see what it says. Now unless I need to fix some kind of emergency, leave me be until we land in Vale." Arslan shooed.
*With Team RWBY*
"I don't see why I'm in the wrong here!" Weiss shouted.
"You're being discriminatory!" Blake countered.
"I'm a victim! Growing up, I've seen board members be assassinated, family members disappear! You want to know what I went through? My life has been under threat for as long as I can remember, so excuse me if I have a severe distrust of faunus, and a hatred for the White Fang." Weiss defended. Blake was stunned by this.
"Weiss look at Cardin, he's racist, a coward, and overall not what a huntsman should be. Now look at yourself, you're nowhere near as bad as Cardin, but the fact that you still act the way you do towards faunus in general is shameful. You want to be a huntress, yet you can't even begin to try to work past your problems." Blake countered.
"Weiss, Blake, stop. It's late, we're all tired. Yang, can you take Weiss across the hall and ask if Pyrrha and Nora will switch rooms for the night? We can work this out tomorrow, but if all you two are going to do is shout at each other, that will only create more problems." Ruby tried to reason.
"Don't bother, if Weiss wants to live in her own world where she can discriminate against us, then I'll show myself out for the night." Blake was at the door when she realized what she had just said. Before anyone could stop her, she broke into a sprint to get away from her team.
"Weiss stop!" Ruby demanded as she blocked the door.
"Didn't you hear her? She's a faunus, and from the sound of it, she was in the White Fang! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't report her directly to Ozpin!" Weiss shouted.
"What has Blake done that would have caused harm to anyone here? She's our friend as well as yours." Yang countered.
"Maybe she's just a spy! You don't know why she's here!" Weiss shot back.
"You're wrong Weiss, she isn't a spy. Do you know what she told me when I first met her? She said that she hides her ears, so she can be judged for who she is, not what she is. Even if she was in he White Fang, does she see like the kind of person to enjoy mindless violence?" Ruby reasoned.
"Maybe she's putting up a front!" Weiss tried to counter.
"What are you trying to hide Weiss, all you're doing is trying to justify your actions, regardless of what it does to your friends. Tomorrow, you and Yang are going into Vale, and you are gong to search for Blake. If you don't find her by the end of the weekend, I will join you, understood?" Ruby ordered.
"You got it sis, I'll make sure she actually puts effort into it." Yang said with a thumbs up.
"I hate all of you."
*Blake*
"Who's that?" Sun asked as Blakes scroll chimed.
"It's my leader, Ruby. She's asking me to take the weekend to myself, she'll come for me before the week starts." Blake explained.
"Ruby, is she the one that has the blindfold?" Sun asked.
"If she ever hears you say that, she will kill you. But yes, she is. Maybe sometime she'll explain it to you. Now come on, we need to find a place to stay." Blake said as she walked away from Beacon.
"You know of any cheaper hotels? I don't exactly have a lot of money." Sun asked.
"Actually, I know someone who'll let us stay for the weekend, now come on, it's late." Blake said as she led the way.
*The Next Day*
"Remind me again why we're doing this? Can't I just report her to the authorities and get this over with?" Weiss asked as her and Yang stepped out of the store.
"No, and you're missing the point Weiss, this isn't about you getting some personal revenge, this is about you realizing that you didn't even give her a chance to explain herself. I have nothing to lose this weekend, so until you can control your bratty behavior, I will keep you out here." Yang threatened. Weiss threw her hands up in frustration before walking off, followed by Yang.
Hours passed before the freezerburn duo had to return to Beacon. Weiss was at her wits end by the time she fell onto her bed, however sleep did not come to her easily that night. Weiss's thoughts drifted to her uncle, and how he had been assassinated simply for his association to her last name. Then her thoughts drifted to Blake. Weiss had to silently agree that she never made any attempt to sabotage her, or anyone hear for that matter. She directed her anger at those like Cardin, and now herself.
"Dust I'm an idiot." Weiss muttered to herself in realization, thankful that the others had already gone to bed. She was thankful that Ruby would be joining them tomorrow, otherwise she wasn't sure if she would ever get the chance to apologize.
AN/ So that's a wrap. Kept it short because I feel the need to do the next couple of scenes as their own and as one. So as of today, Broken Mind will be put up on hiatus, remember to cast your vote in a review for space or thief AU, I will check tonight after work at about midnight EST, I will extend it though to midnight tomorrow if not enough people vote or it's a tie tonight. Anyways, until next time, have a great day!
