Chapter 2: Killer Sense


Waking up I remembered my previous day. 'Hahh still being stuck as a baby sucks' I thought to myself as I have been living as a baby for the past couple months. I am so young that I am physically unable to do anything but make baby noises, cry, or think about what I should do now that I'm in RWBY.

Honestly until about a month ago my thoughts were extremely varied, like I couldn't hold a thought. Maybe it was due to my higher intellect not fitting in with a babies brain, but I guess it just took some time to adjust to my new condition. Not only that but it turns out that my hearing is so great that everything hurt, I could hear conversations from the whole area around our house and each voice overlapped making an orchestra of pain. Luckily it seems that I instinctually adjusted to deafening everything just to the point of it not being painful.

Besides getting used to my body I am wondering what I want to do now that I'm in a fictional world. 'Well not so fictional now...' I thought as I lazily laid in a crib watching a toy spin above my head. Focusing once more on my current thoughts I ignored my side trekked mind and thought about what I wanted to do now that I'm in RWBY.

'I definitely want to fight and help others, that was my goal in my first life and now its my goal here.' I tried rolling slightly to see Velvet as I was left in a crib in her room. The room, like most houses in Mistral, is made of wood and is tiny. The room itself is sparsely decorated with things for children, but the best thing is the window that overlooks the mountain. Mistral itself reminds me of a Wuxia novel or some martial arts movie due to the scenery that I can see outside.

Shaking my small head I felt my ears twitch at the sound of Velvet, making me remember what I was doing before. Struggling some more I finally roll over enough to see Velvet who was playing with blocks. 'Yeah... this is going to be a long couple years.' I exasperatedly thought. Some might think that being a baby is easy, and they would be correct. Despite the moral degradation of having to use a diaper, being a baby is pretty easy. I just lie here, cry, eat, and sleep. Nothing more, nothing less.

Looking at Velvet I thought back to RWBY and how great of a fighter she was. 'I know she is now my older sister, but I am not going to let her pull ahead of me easily.' Thinking about how I would have to learn fighting techniques and the such I once more became happy. The thing is in my previous life I was what most called a "Once in a 100 year genius" when it came to martial arts.

'Not enough of a genius to not die when someone was cheating...' I internally frowned when I remembered my unexpected death. 'I can't get behind this time and become complacent with my skills. I now know the cost of doing so...'

Shaking my baby head a little I thought to all the martial arts that must be hidden in Remnant Culture. 'I remember there was aura techniques when it came to fighting. I wonder if I can specialize in that?' I questioned myself. Looking back into my memories I remembered some of the basic aura techniques from the show, such as launching blades of aura at people or causing clones of yourself to appear. 'Sounds overpowered in my opinion...'

The thing is about my time in learning martial arts is that it is a lengthy process. Sure I could easily learn things faster than anyone else, but at the end of the day it all came up to experience. And to get that experience I need to get a teacher, practice everyday, and test myself. Sadly for now I can't do any of that because of well, me being a baby, and also me being a Faunus. 'Reaaaaally doubt that most people will teach a Faunus advanced aura techniques in Mistral of all places.'

'Urghhh being a baby sucks!' I frowned once more as I embraced the feeling of being a baby. The closest thing I can relate it to is being a worm, and because I love moving, being a baby sucks. 'I just want to get out there and learn everything I can, do everything that I can, after all this is a new world.'

Getting lost in thought I began to think about everything I wanted to do, every place I wanted to visit, until the unexpected happened. 'AhH! My eyes!' I closed my eyes immediately as a stray ray of sunshine landed directly on my face. My thoughts quickly went back to my condition as I tried to wiggle out of the light. 'Seriously? Not only do I have these cute rabbit ears that can hear almost anything, but I have Albinism mixed with night vision?!' I questioned whoever gave me this second chance as the sun began to hide itself behind a cloud again.

'Albinism sucks, maybe its also due to my night vision but whenever I see light it's like getting flashbanged.' I giggled pointlessly at my joke and my thoughts derailed into what I was going to do about it. 'Maybe I should just use this time of not being able to move as a period to train my senses?' Thinking over the question in my head I nodded to myself in agreement for my new plan.

'Alright! New plan Train Your Senses, is a go. Let's try to at least get my senses partially trained before I can walk.' I grinned lazily as I began to focus on my hearing.

Describing my hearing simply is that it was good, extremely good. I was able to hear so much that it became painful, every bird flying by was like a clap, every person yelling felt like they were yelling next to me. But the worse part was that I could hear everything around me as if it was next to me. I remember reading a trivia where rabbits could hear sound in a radius of 1.8 miles, and I felt like I doubled or maybe even tripled that.

'This is going to hurt...' I thought as I began to turn off my limiters for my hearing. A couple months back when I thought that my hearing was going to be the death of me I instinctually began to filter things, albeit just slightly, it was enough to not feel the immense pain by just living.

Slowly I turned off my mental filter and sound began to get louder. Choosing to stop before I turned off all my filters, I began to listen in on conversations. Focusing on the ones in my house I could hear the conversations from outside tune themselves out into only noises coming from my house. Listening closer I heard snoring and a television playing the news.

"And now on Channel 15 News we have information on the new legislation being passed that will allow Faunus to have the same Health-Care benefits as humans."

Getting bored from listening in on whatever was playing in the news I focused my hearing once more onto the conversations outside. Ignoring most of the conversations with aggressive shouting I began to hear harsh talk from the people on the street.

"I hate this place man! I can't even go to a library without being chased around by those racists!" hearing a thud which sounded like a kick to something, I heard another guy speak up. "Yeah, but it's Mistral. I mean it's not like we can do much to stop them."

'Okaaay enough conversations about depressing Faunus racism, how about something cheerful.' I thought to myself as I focused more on passing conversations. With some difficulty in discerning what people would say due to voices and sounds overlapping I finally found a cheerful conversation.

"Oh I love you so much! Now, tie me up and-" Quickly stopping the conversation I instinctually turned back on my filter to deafen everything. 'Why? Their conversation early sounded nice! How did it lead to them talking about a nice day to that!?' I questioned my beliefs and my outlook on life after hearing that.

'Oh well, not like I haven't heard it before.' I grimaced slightly as I remembered the whole week of Valentines Day was something I never wanted to listen to again. 'Hmm well we can train focusing in on conversations later, for now how about I try eyesight?'

Carefully opening my crystal colored reddish pink eyes once more I squinted and looked at Velvet. Focusing on my eyes, my vision began to zoom in slightly until they were like a dollar store version of binoculars. They zoomed in slightly on something that I was extremely focused on and made it clearer. 'Well this is new.' I thought to myself as I began to see individual hairs on Velvets head. 'I don't remember Rabbits having such good vision, maybe a mutation?' I questioned myself as I looked around the room.

'New question, why did this not work earlier? I mean I never really tried it because it sounded stupid, but jeese my vision is perfe- OW MY EYES' I cried out slightly as a ray of sun light hit my face again. 'Stupid sun! Let me do my own thing and stop trying to blind me!' I cried slightly which caused Velvet to stop playing with her blocks from what I could hear.

"Ak-ri?" A high pitched childish voice sounded out and I heard the very light pitter patter of feet coming over to me. Squinting my eyes open I stopped my crying and saw her stumble up to my crib with as much grace a 1 year old could have.

'Why couldn't I have trained my eyesight earlier without her in the room? Now I have my cute sister worried.' I thought sadly as I watched Velvet poke her hand through the bars of the crib and poke me. At first she slightly poked my cheek but then she lightly touched my ears which caused them to twitch and tickle me.

Velvet continued to lightly touch my ears as she noticed that I was no longer crying and then with difficulty she said "Ak-ri good?". In my head I thought of the absurdity of a kid who is not even 2 years old comforting her baby sister, which caused me to make some baby noises in answer to her question. Coming out as a babble of nonsensical noises I answered her.

"Ga-ba bwa" Was pretty much the best I could say to answer her question. Velvet seemingly understanding baby talk, smiled slightly and began to poke me some more causing me to laugh. 'Hey wait I said yes! Don't tickle me!' I began to laugh out due to her poking me. 'Curse this body! Why is it so ticklish?' I questioned as I began to laugh even more when she poked my stomach.

Velvet giggled at my responses and a big smile appeared on her face. After a few minutes of her playing with me she finally went back to playing with her blocks, but not before giving me a plushy to keep my company. Looking at the small bird plush that was now sitting in the corner of my crib I smiled. 'Heh I can't believe some children can be so nice.'

Thinking back to Velvet playing with me I seemed to regain my thought trail and frowned slightly. 'It seems that even now I can't keep my thoughts straight, guess if I give it some time it will fix itself out. Now, how about I learn how to reduce my sensitivity to light!' I cheerfully thought as I went back to training my eyesight.

Time passed quickly as I practiced using my Faunus senses to the best of my current capability. Occasionally Velvet would play with me or my mother would come in to take care of me, but just like that my day passed by. Waking up from a short nap that I took earlier I looked to the sky. The sun was now far into the sky nearing sunset and I have decided to take a break from my training due to my mother coming in.

"Velvet, dinner is ready so how about you go to the table while I get Akari?" Meg Scarlatina asked kindly as she approached me.

Velvet gave a simple nod and began to walk out of the room. My mother looked back at her leaving and gave a big smile and then approached me. "Ohhh who is my cute little baby?" Poking me a couple times my mother slightly played with me and my ears until she picked me up and walked out of the room.

"Okay Akari let's get some food in you so you can go back to sleep." My mother walked out of the room and into our small kitchen with sparse furniture decorating it. A couple days ago I heard the reason for this is due to the fact that we recently moved here not even a week before I was born. Apparently it is a temporary thing and that we plan to move out once I'm 1 years old, something about it being dangerous to have a crying baby while you travel.

From that conversation I heard I found out that we plan on traveling back to Vale in a couple of months, almost immediately after my birthday. It's kind of sad that I won't get to stay in Mistral, the land of anime and martial arts, but it's okay. I can always travel back to Mistral or other areas to learn fighting techniques.

Being pulled from my thoughts I was sat in a baby seat at the kitchen table. Looking around for my sister I saw Velvet was already seated and dressed in a cute blue shirt with a cartoon rabbit, to her right was my mom Meg Scarlatina, and to her left was my dad Will Scarlatina

Will Scarlatina had chestnut brown hair that was slightly on the long side and tied in a man bun. His face was adorned with a well trimmed beard and big dark brown eyes. From what I heard in conversations is that he is supposedly a big shot genius engineer and close friend to James Ironwood, who suggested he take a vacation to Mistral when I was apparently born. My birth according to my mother was described as "Sudden but expected" in a conversation with my dad.

My mom Meg Scarlatina on the other hand is where both Velvet and I got our looks except for our hair color. She looked almost identical to us except for the fact that she had natural dark gray hair and long dark gray rabbit ears. The simplest term to describe her would be a beauty. Despite being close the age of 31 she still had the looks of being in her early 20s. She had long cascading dark gray hair than went down her back and a very kind looking face. In general I was very happy to be born from her in the hopes that I turn out to look as good.

Besides my moms good looks, it was a big surprise when I learned that my dad worked directly under Ironwood as one of his top engineers and close friends. From what I heard my parents lived in Vale for a short while and gave birth to Velvet there. In Vale my dad was supposedly working on a joint project between Atlas and Vale engineers to design new used for hard light dust while he was told by James to take a break by visiting Mistral. 'An all expenses paid trip to a nice area in the main city, how kind of Ironwood.' I happily thought.

"Okay, let us start dinner now that everyone is here." My mother Meg cut my thoughts off and began dinner, which I sadly could not eat. Instead I was left with baby food which I certainly could say was "Not Good" in simple terms. Besides having to eat baby food, dinner went by like it did with most families. My parents were happily talking while eating what looked to be salad and steak, while leaving Velvet with some pieces of stake but with the majority being fruits and vegetables as she couldn't really chew stake that well.

It was honestly really nice as this was the first time I experienced a family so warm, my previous family was quite cold and traditional due to the fact of being from an old Japanese martial arts family. On the other hand my new family was warm and caring for me so far, leaving me quite pleased with my second chance. 'Let's make use of this second chance and not waste it.' I happily thought as I stared at my family laughing and eating dinner.


Hey hey, hope you enjoyed the chapter despite it being kinda boring. This was more of a setup so I can timeskip her being a baby and get into more important stuff such as childhood or training her senses as a Killer Rabbit. Next chapter will hopefully not be as boring because it will involve her being a kid and will also involve less inner dialogue because she can actually do stuff.

Anyways hoped you enjoyed, leave a review or favorite if you enjoy this series so far. I plan on trying to release chapters more frequently and couldn't beforehand due to personal reasons. Anyways cya next chapter space cowboy.
