Chapter 3 dad issues
1st pov
"sorry for taking so long, damn traffics been a bitch, would have gotten here 30 minutes ago" I quickly said as I stared at the man, the seed bearer, my dad
Said man looked about to quite tall as his entire body was covered in a large high collar duster coat and his face mainly shadowed out by an old looking fedora, so this is him, I expected a more well lavish dressed man like he usually is in the media but this was quite the change
"t-thats perfectly fine, um sorry your mother didn't exactly tell me everything about you, she said it be more interesting if the only thing I did know about you is that you like pie" the man said as I noticed how nervous he was.
"well your not wrong there I could go for a mince and cheese" I said with a small smile before I slipped my helmet under my arm and unzipped my jacket so I could pull out my glasses
"mince and cheese is your favourite?" he asked sounding surprised
"well yeah, nothing can beat a mince and cheese and can of lemonade" I said with a smirk and I wasn't wrong either.
"huh thats a surprise, well how about we head inside, this place has to my ever knowing knowledge has the best pies in vale" the guy said as I was somewhat surprised
"you sure about that?" I asked with a small smirk on my face
"yep, come on" the guy said as he stood up from his seat as he huffed and patted himself down before gesturing for me to follow him inside
3 minutes later we both sat outside and silently ate our pies
It was somewhat an awkward silence that I didn't know how to break and I had a feeling it wasn't going to last that long
"so ahem, how about names you obviously know but I don't really know yours per-say" Clay said as I looked up at me and blinked
"oh I guess that makes sense I'm uh Hamish, Hamish vulpine" I said while Clay's eyes widen under his fedora
"Hamish, that doesn't sound like a colour that I know of" Clay mused as I nodded
"yeah mum doesn't exactly believe in the colour rule and its kinda of ironic if I think about it" I said with a smirk as I remembered what my name mean in Irish
"oh whys that?" Clay asked intrigued about it
"my name means he who removes, kind of ironic as it pretty much said that I'm not really defined by just a colour like everyone else" I explained seeing clay ponder
"thats awfully wise for a young man like yourself" Clay said as I couldn't help but chuckle
"yeah it is, its especially surprising when its coming from a 17 year old about to join beacon" I said with a grin and watched as Clay's demeanor change suddenly
"beacon? You want to become a huntsman?" he asked his voice sounding unsure as I sighed
"yeah I do….it might sound naive but I think I could make a difference" I said leaning back in my chair
"you think you can make a difference? By throwing your life away like an idiot?" I heard, my eyes looked at Clay and I saw his face turned into angry one, oh boy here we go.
"do you know the exact pay of a huntsman is not even tallied? They go to village to village extorting their licenses as they get paid for doing nothing as villages hope for protection and when the grimm finally attack where are they? Drunk and passed out that's what they are, so you wanna be like that? Be some wash out of a person?" Clay angrily argued as I gave him a blank stare
"uuuuuh not really" I said casually with a shrug as I made It look like I was being ignorant, but I knew what he was talking about
Some huntsmen were caught and arrested for extorting money from villages expecting protection but well when the grimm arrived the huntsmen mysteriously disappeared.
"tsh this was stupid" Clay said as he stood up
"forget this ever happened and tell your mother to go ahead and blackmail me, it wont change anything" Clay said as I stared at him in confusion
"What? Hold on stop stop stop how does me becoming a huntsman turn into you outright leaving me high and dry?" I asked as he shook his head
"you wouldn't understand, but here's some life advice from father to son, quit while your ahead" he said as I froze hearing those words
Father to son?
Is he serious? He didn't even know I existed until yesterday and suddenly he act likes my dad? Oh I don't think so!
"so your just going to up and leave and act like I never existed?" I asked my eyes closed as I took a long deep calming breath
"isnt this what your mother wanted? Just for us to meet once and thats it" he said his tone cold so cold that I couldn't help but to chuckle
"whats so funny?" he asked as I couldn't help it, what he just said was just so….naive
"you thought this was going to be a one off thing? Thats whats so funny, I don't think you understand why my mother decided to set up this meeting" I said as I looked up and stared at him seriously
"she wanted me to come here and get some closure, to get to know the man who is the reason why I'm living, but here you are selfishly leaving just like those so called huntsman you just mentioned" my eyes stared up at him as I slowly took my glasses off
"coward, is what I would call a man who cant own up to his son" I said slowly standing up as I slipped my glasses into my jackets pockets
"well lets get this straight you are not my son, your just some mistake I had with a stupid slut that-gurk" my hand shot up wrapping around his neck
"now you listen here, you can insult me, you can hurt me, you can insult me, you can degrade me, but I swear to oum up above if you so much as fucking insult my mother and degrade her into some kind of two bit hooker, I will gladly go to court and sue for child payments you have never for the lack of paid for, you insignificant piece of fucking trash and don't you even think I'm just doing this because I'm a faunas either" I said before throwing pushing him off and watched as he hit the ground as he stared up at me with wide eyes
At that point I couldn't help but hold back the small tears that rolled down my cheeks and quietly pulled a piece of paper and smacked it onto the table as he flinched.
"heres my number, call me when you finally got the fucking balls to talk to me like a decent person and not just some mistake" I said before grabbing my helmet and stomped off towards my bike not caring if he stared.
10 minutes later I was riding down the highway when I finally verbally lost
"SON OF A FUCKING-WHO THE FUCK DID HE THINK HE WAS ACTING LIKE? MY DAD. FUCK HIM AND FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT STUPID FUCKING COWARD!" I roared as the 320cc engine covered my shouting.
Day by day, month by month, year by fucking year I wanted to know my dad, have an actual fucking relationship, something that I never had in my old world. But nope apparently thats too much for me, like in my previous world it was just me and mum and that it….on second no its not just us
Sighing I shook my head and focused on the road as I remembered it wasn't just me and mum, there was also Qrow, tai, Ruby and Yang.
Its unfair to not think of them as family but by god all I wanted was a dad
Is that so too much to ask?
That night when I came home I silently walked up to my room and just laid there on my bed staring at my ceiling as I felt like everything was coming down onto me
*knock knock knock!*
"honey? You ok?" I heard my mum's voice through the door
"im alright mum" I lied out loud as I continued to stare at the ceiling my thoughts turning towards the small confrontation between me and clay, I'd rather start calling him that over dad from now on.
If I think about it, the real reason why I got angry with Qrow when I heard mum was pregnant, it sparked a sort of resentment towards clay, the thought of another child being brought into the world because of a mistake reminded so much of my own situation as you can already guess I wasn't exactly planned and I finally got that confirmation that it was a mistake, granted in mum's case it was literally the happiest mistake in her life but to me, just referring me to a mistake just sounded wrong.
So as I laid here, thoughts of the future started passing by and I started to remember volume 1, volume 2 and volume 3 popping up and I knew the biggest mistakes were going to occur after them…so how does one stop a mistake of epic proportions?
by changing everything of course and I've inherently didn't really need to do anything, I've already changed Yang's more boisterous personality into a more or less teasing personality as my involvement with her has brought a sense of difference between her and her canon self.
Ruby has also changed, from her shy and more or less than social awkwardness came in a more confident and mature view on life just like her sister.
I blame my mother for that mature thing though, who knew she was the famous author of the smuttiest novel series ever, smut with plot indeed.
But most of all I think my mother in a way has changed Qrow's more basic outlook in life, I think but with the coming with a kid on the way that is clearly his, he'll hopefully change that outlook, that and if he doesn't he'll most likely deal with the wrath of my mother and I will not be surprised if mum comes home dragging the unconscious form of Qrow through the front door.
The ridiculous thought made me snort in amusement at how ridiculous it was. But from what I've known and seen of my mum it was pretty plausible in my book.
*knock knock knock*
"hey champ uh I'm home" I heard as speak of the devil
"come in" I called out as I heard the door open and I slowly sat up as he walked as he had his hand in scratching his neck
"hey your uh mom's kinda worried of you and well she though I could possibly you know…talk with you" Qrow said as he looked awkward
"sigh yeah, meeting my- I mean the meeting with clay didn't end well" I said staring at the floor
"i could tell, sigh look I'm not exactly the best to speak about fathers and stuff my own dad threw me and my sister at grimm when were 12, but if you want to talk about it then just know I'm here for ya" Qrow said even if he sounded somewhat awkward by it.
"thanks…Qrow, I just wish this shit was easier" I said with a small sad smile but shook my head of the sad thoughts
"it never is, but hey if you want, you and me could forget the dad talk and play some video games instead" Qrow suggested as I looked up at him as he held up a case as I saw it was this worlds version of halo, circles….yeah I know its a terrible name but I had a feeling it was better than nothing and it still played like halo just with semblances and instead of flood its grimm, the covenant is still there and this is like in the really distant future therefore giving a certain realism as to how in the game there is space travel and all that shit.
"you know what, I'm tired of talking and thinking about dads so lets play" I said getting off my bed as Qrow gave me a smirk and we both made our way down stairs.
From their I gave mum a tight hug and stayed up until 2 am as me and Qrow clocked circles.
All in all I felt better after that, truly.
And if Clay does call well I hope he has some better choice of words or I might really go to court like I just said.

Clay pov
After my meeting I somewhat reconciled back home.
I told my wife what happened and as she was appalled by what happened, she knew it was in the heat of the moment and I just….looking back on it now I realized the damage I had just caused.
Did I just seriously do that?
I couldn't help ask myself over and over and over again until it got stuck in my mind so much that I just gave up reading through this paper work I had and leaned back into my vacuo leather chair and just stared at the ceiling. Something of which I found myself doing more and more lately as memories of that day and memories of the meeting just popped up, I didn't realize it at the time but I hurt that boy, not my son no I didn't feel oblige to call him that, in fact I didn't even deserve to call him that not with what I called him or his mother.
Pulling out that piece of paper he left on the table from my pants pocket I just gently place it there on my desk and stared at it, my mind racing as to what I should do, what I should say or better yet how should I apologize. Apologies were in basis hard to come out and better yet it was harder to give out and this is coming from a politician, in all my career as councilmen I never once enjoyed addressing the nation to give an apology but every time the council comes into an incident that needs to be address everyone votes that I should address the nation.
Why?
Because out of everyone of those selfish self centred pricks I was the only one that gave a damn when something happened, so hearing an apology from me was beneficial to those pricks because I was more sincere than them. So while I cried for those who gave their lives, they're point averages go up as if they care too, giving them all great publicity while I just stand there quietly resenting everyone of them.
Curling my fists in anger I couldn't help but slam my fist onto my desk.
I felt the pain shot up my hand, but I ignored it cause all I really felt at the time was numbness.
"sigh, how could I be such a coward" I stated more than question before I stared at the number and finally decided in a couple days I'll call him, I'll grow some balls and call him.
But until then I guess its finally to face the music
*knock knock knock!*
"hey uh you wanted to see us dad?" I heard the voice of my daughter lavender and took a deep breath in and out
"please come in kids, I got to tell you something important"
This was it, time to grow some balls
Linebreak
"uuuuuurgh what time is is?" I heard the groaning of Qrow as I rubbed my eyes and looked at the wall clock
"its uuuuh 10:29am" I moaned out before stretching my arms over my head hearing and feeling the bones in my body crack into place, it appears me and Qrow slept on the couch after we clocked circles.
"oooh I need some coffee, champ make me coffee" Qrow mumbled while I rolled my eyes
"go make it yourself" I replied before I slowly stood up and basically stumbled into the kitchen and saw mum sitting at the table as she was drinking herself a cup of coffee
"morning honey" she said as I waved my hand and made my way towards the fridge, shite I'm hungry
"so want to tell me what really happened yesterday?" mum asked as I pulled out some cold pizza and sighed
"it was a bust" I said closing the door and sitting down at the table
"not even 10 minutes into the conversation and I found myself wondering how much of a coward he was" I said taking one slice and slowly bit into it
"i expected as much, Clay's out look on huntsmen aren't…the best, then again hes speaking from experience" mum said as I paused mid bite ey?
"Clay came from a village, at a young age he watched his entire village came down because of huntsman that took the money and ran off when the grimm started knocking, from there he spent his life hating huntsmen or better yet the huntsmen that extorted villages and hoped to one day change that, eventually he climbed the political tower and he did, that one month as a councilmen clay spent it throwing huntsmen that extorted villages into prison and fixed up the law so it affected huntsmen and citizens of the like" mum lectured as I stared at her blankly
"w-why are you telling me this?" I couldn't help but ask
"because I want you to understand where your fathers coming from and before you ask. I knew your father better back then and you could say at the time I was somewhat starstruck by his charms" mum said giving me a small smile
"now after your done go and take a shower, your leaving next week and you arent exactly packed yet" mom said getting up and moving towards the living room leaving me to just stare at my cold pizza in thought.
So clay did have some balls, good for him.

4 days later I sat at my somewhat devoid desk as the only thing left on it was my laptop that I was currently using, not for that reason!
It was more or less me just looking through some forums about either beacon or the white fang either worked for me, even if I was never a forum kinda person. I mean it was comment after comment after comment just the sere amount of comments threw me off the loop, but I digress it was either this or resort to…elgh vloggers, oh yeah thats right remnant too is infected by these things, these not natural sounding people.
They're just so positive and dumb by god are they dumb, I'd go more into it but as they say the cancer can grow.
So that just left with me constantly staring at the screen as music played through my laptops speakers as I searched for either some decent info or give up and look up adorable cat videos because thats what the internet was made for….that and porn.
It wasn't until like30 minutes into it did I just give up and closed the sites and decided that I would rather waste my time watching silly stupid videos over scrolling through forum to find something I don't know what I'm looking for.
Pulling up noobtube(remnants version of youtube), I was somewhat surprised to see something I didn't want to see in my recommended, a vlog
"elgh why just fucking why?" I groaned out loud to myself before I read the title, 'I have a brother!' by the broad-perspective?
Growing curious I clicked on the video and watched it load up
The video started out with some kinda beach themed music showing different shots of the vale docks and a skateboard before words popped up saying 'welcome, this is broad perspective' the scene then changed to teenager sitting in a cafe as I saw that he was quite average, height build facial expression in fact he kinda reminded me of-
"hey guys its me Kou your lovely host for this weeks vlog update" he introduced himself cutting off my thoughts as the music changed to something more lighter and easing
"now last week I had competition to see who can be the best person out there, and let me tell you had to sift through allot of vids to get to this point but I've made a choice" a video link then popped up on the top right
"congrats gorgan-the-destroyer for your performance to the vacuo saint layman s orphanage and your avid involvement in teaching them how to play instruments, a big shout out to this guy cause as insane as his playing skills are his heart is huuuuuuuuge, so you won the prize of 10,000 lien to you choice of charity"
Whoa wait what!? 10,000 lien to charity!?
The hell? This bullshit right? Its gotta be, I mean thats a lot of money I should know I had to earn 16:50 an hour in a fast food joint so I could save up for my bike.
That took easily allot longer than I hoped but I did it, so no complaints!
"now on to the topic of the title, now this ones going to be shorter than usual and I'm sorry for that but I felt like this had to be addressed quickly, my ever loving father has dropped a bomb a very serious info bomb that had my family going crazy, my sister Jade-" the video then changed to a girl in a shooting range shooting an LMG as she had a very pissed off look before going back to the guy Kou or something.
"yeah the raging beast of hormones and pure PMSing horror that she is well lost it, verbally of course, with dad and well her reaction was to be expected, her twin aka my other sister lavender-"the video changed to a beautiful girl standing on a stage and was singing her heart out by the looks of it, then it quickly changed back
"the sweet kind and ever loving sister of mine was confused, then shocked then well she started crying-" the music suddenly stops as his face turned blank "-in fact she hasn't stopped crying since, but thats not the point" the music quickly picked up again as Kou had a wide grin on his face
"the point when I heard this news well I was shocked too but-" the tone suddenly turned serious as kous face stared at camera, his smile dropped and his demeanor more less serious, "-look when I found out my response was one of shock but then I realized what it really meant…..this isnt a joke I'm serious when I say that I apparently have a brother" he said he sat there for a good couple of seconds in silence before he rubbed his eyes and leaned forwards.
"now this brother is….more of a half brother and I will not disclose any more information on how hes my brother but you can probably guess the implications so for all you trolls out there, no I have not met him, no I don't know anything about him, I don't know where he is, whats he doing, how old he is, hell I don't even know if hes human or faunas, but I do know one thing though-" Kou paused as he took a deep breath and gave a big smile to the camera that looked so genuine, so real it just threw me for a loop.
This guy was seriously smiling for reals, like not even kidding kinda smile or something on the lines of that.
"hes going to beacon, like me and my ever so lovely sisters are too so maybe or maybe not we'll meet each other and if we do well, I hope hes watching this cause I want to meet him" the video then turned more happy as the music came back.
"so as I said I'm cutting this short sorry guys, but hey if you want to see some more, you could oh I don't know subscribe?" Kou more or less suggested as he shrugged his grin big and large
"now its time for me go so I'll be seeing you guys later this is Kou kowhai broad-iron signing off!"
Wait he-hes my brother?
OH MY GOD MY BROTHER IS LITERAL CANCER!

Kou's pov
Scrolling the comments I saw a lot of positive feedback from my recent upload, most of it saying congrats, others saying that its awesome I might be meeting my brother in beacon and others well they questioned me asking why I would say human or faunas as if it was big no no, I mean come on as I said I know nothing about him how would I clearly know if hes a faunas or not, geez its like genderfication but instead of males being female or females being male or better yet anyone sexual identifying themselves bullheads really matters.
Shaking my head of these thoughts I leaned back in my seat and sighed as I hoped my brother no matter who it is sees the vid and maybe…maybe one day he could join in the fun of these vlogs.
Now at first when I started doing these vlogs they were more of a diary to put my thoughts my experiences on, it was also another way for me to keep my self sane through the huntsman training me and my sisters went through.
And when I started uploading I didn't think twice of who was going to watch or not and noobtube was a fairly new and young site, but suddenly it grew and when it started to grow so did my channel, from there I started to branch out a little in footage and before I knew it other than training I was more or less finding myself editing more, filming more random footage and well I guess organizing competitions to help others.
And yes I make money from this but….well I don't really use other than to pay for my own lawyers to get things set up for permits and replacing different hardware like cameras, bipods and computer parts.
The only thing I really spend it on in majority on is charity.
Dad was a big strong believer in helping and well I wanna help even if my time is taken up with training and stuff it was better if I at least tried.
"hey Kou mom wants to know if your packed and if your not-" I suddenly heard Jade and quickly looked over to the door just as she poked her head in
"nearly done, just need to pack up the this thing and I'll be ready" I said gesturing to my still not packed computer
"geez, thats bit much also I saw your video…am I really a PMSing horror?" she asked as I smirked
"id rather jump off a building with out my weapon then give you an answer" I replied watching as she just rolled her eyes
"whatever, look I don't know if we'll really meet him in beacon its a 1 in a million" Jade said being serious
"i know sis but hopefully we can meet him before then" I said not really minding if we met him in beacon or not, I mean I'd rather meet him tomorrow than at beacon through a random encounter.
"yeah well thanks to certain someone swiping this off a certain other someones desk, we might get that wish coming true" Jade said as she slowly pulled a piece of paper from her pocket
"whats that?" I asked seeing Jade have a large grin on her face
"this is a wrinkled up piece of paper with a number and a name on it, now dad doesnt like wrinkled paper you and I both know that, so why would he have this unless the number and name are who I think it is" Jade said as my eyes widened
"you don't mean….." Jade simply walked over and placed the number on my desk
"i checked it out, and the number belongs to the name on here so thats legit, don't ask how I checked by the way, but hey I also put his name in the records yesterday and I found something interesting" Jade said as she pushed me over and messed my computer before she pulled up-whoa wait
"hold on are you, your not seriously pu-"
"pulling up every record of every person in the world? No of course this is just vale general" Jade said casually as she pulled up one file and I saw a photo of a young teen, had short brown curly hair, wore a pair of black thin framed glasses that covered his blue eyes but what stood out more was the fact he had a pair of fox ears on his head
"this is Hamish vulpine, mother is Sarah vulpine father is Clay broad-iron and he is a very interesting individual" Jade said as I just stared at him before looking at her
"how did you get this, I'm pretty sure this is illegal" I stated as I was starting to panic, my computer better not be traced because of this shit
"now now now I've gained government clearance so you don't need to worry about how legal it is, but look at this hes been arrest 10 times in the last year, 5 times for drunken disorderly and the others were interestingly enough assault and destruction of property charges, also says hes been through signal so those last two some what makes sense" Jade stated pointing to the portion of the file as I rolled my eyes
"look I don't care about that Jade what I care about is that your snooping on someone we have barely met yet" I said growling at her as she just rolled her eyes at me
"yeah I know but look here it gets interesting" Jade said as she pointed to another folder she had opened up and showed a video
Said video showed camera view of two people standing on either side of an arena
On one side stood a large male as his hands held a pair of large cleavers as he looked extremely jacked up to hell!
But on the other side stood Hamish as he stood quite tall, wore a black muscle shirt that clung to him tightly, had a pair of black cargo pants held up by a black belt and were tucked into a pair of black combat boots, his forearms were covered by pair of blue gauntlets and his hand were covered by a pair of gloves, a pair of black sunglasses over his eyes and finally he had a pair of headphones around his neck, he somewhat reminded me of Jade in the dressing sense.
"you ready to get your ass killed today!?" the audio of the jacked guy roared making me flinch at how deranged the guy sounded
"yeah yeah yeah shut up" Hamish said as he sounded so calm and so bored?
I watched him as he slipped on a pair of headphones over his ears and took out an mp4 and started fiddling with it, what the hell is he doing
"grrrrr hurry it up" the jacked guy said impatiently while Hamish didn't look like he gave a damn.
"fighters ready!?" a voice of an announcer yelled while I couldn't help but gulp in slight nervousness as I hoped I was going to watch my brother be maimed or anything.
"im ready when this little shit is done jerking his dick!" the jacked man roared angrily as Hamish just looked up and smirk
"are you by chance speaking from experience, cause if you are my my my arent you bold" he said which made me snicker, ok that was funny
"grrrrrr watch it, tonight you might not be leaving with your body intact as says the lord of the ring tazer face!" the man roared as I just stared at the screen and lost
"ahahahahaha tazer face!?" I laughed out as it looked like Jade was enjoying it too
"i know right watch watch watch" Jade said as I turned back and watched as Hamish just snorted
"yeah with a face like that I wouldnt be surprised you would call yourself that, and thats a face only a mother can love and ten out of ten shes probably sucked off allot of men just to love your face" he said as my eyes widen, whooooooa thats a ballsy joke
"why you-"
"aaaaaaaw thank you, too bad unlike your mother I don't like men especially if it has a face like yours" Hamish quipped again as the man looked like he was seething in anger.
"AAAAGRH FUCK THE RULES I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" the jacked man roared slamming his cleaver swords into the ground as sparked and were set on fire before he charged at Hamish
Hamish just pressed play and pocketed his mp4 before he proceeded to jump up and used the jacked guys head as a stepping stone as he flipped in the air and landed on the ground with no problem.
Whoa
The jacked guy spun around and roared again as he ran at Hamish again but this time he had his cleaver swords held up over his head ready to cut downwards as Hamish simply pulled off his sunglasses and then I watch in confusion as Hamish run at the jacked guy and before he could swing his cleavers down Hamish simple spun around and pulled his leg up as smashed his heel into the side of the jacked guys head and sent him to the ground with a thud.
Blinking in confusion the video stopped as I looked up to Jade as she stared at the screen blankly
"in 3 seconds Hamish closed the gap of 10m and proceed to execute a perfect reverse high kick into the mans temple and pulling enough force behind it to knock said man out like it was nothing" Jade said seriously as she stared at me dead in the eye.
"something is very wrong here Kou so if we or better yet when we do meet him we need to be careful, cause I'm pretty sure signal can train people to be efficient but to be this efficient is a crime" Jade said
"so you think this guy is what, an assassin or something?" I asked as she shook her head
"no but, I have a feeling theres more to this guy then we know, or better yet what his file knows" Jade said as I just stared at the screen as it showed a close up on Hamish face but I stared at only one thing and one thing only, his eyes.
His glowing blue eyes

1st pov
"achoo!" I suddenly sneezed as I covered my mouth and nose
"geez you getting a cold or something?" I heard Ruby asked as I shook my head
"sorry that came out of nowhere" I said as I looked back down at the table, me and Ruby were sitting out in the backyard as we sat at the table taking apart our individual weapons Ruby with her crescent rose and me with wolverine, yes I named my weapons after the badass claw man himself.
Currently I was working on the loading mechanism on my left claw its been a bit screwy lately, then again it might be the locking systems fucked
"you still trying to add the machine gun function?" Ruby asked as I held up gauntlet and picked up a magazine and slid in kinda like P90 clip
"done and dusted, the shotgun function is working fine to but the this damn left gauntlets been so screwy, you still sharpening those blades?" I asked gesturing to the sharpening block.
"yeah I'm done, so how has your day been so far?" Ruby asked handing me the block as I got to sharpening my claws, they've been a bit dull lately so they need a sharpen
"found out my half brothers a vlogger" I said starting to slowly sharpen the claws
"really whats his name?" Ruby asked as I shrugged
"he runs this channel called the broad-perspective" I replied checking my blades
"oh hey I know that channel hes alright a bit well innocent for my tastes" Ruby said as I paused and stared at her blankly as she looked up at me with wide eyes
"i-I mean um well hes not really my kind of person id like to watch" Ruby quickly defended, of course she'd say that
Rolling my eyes I went back to work in silence as this was my afternoon with the red reaper
Just relaxing and working on our weapons nothin much to it really, unless Yang comes over and tries to get me to out and do something fun with her, then there goes my night
"you packed for beacon?" Ruby asked her voice curious sounding.
"yep, Yang packed too?" I asked curious if the blonde girl is actually ready or not
"eeeh shes getting there, dads got her on lock down until shes done so she wont be coming around-"
*VROOOOOM!*
Hearing the engine I looked up at Ruby as she sighed
"-unless she sneaks out of course" Ruby said feeling annoyed for some reason
"whats up red, you look a little cress-fallen" I said curious on what the little reaper was thinking about
"its nothing…just want one day with him thats it" I heard her mumble the last bit finding it strange I didn't say anything as I refocused onto my sharpening
"hello one and all!" I heard Yang call out as she walked around the corner
"hey Yang hows it going heard you were on lock down" I replied looking from my claws to see the girl had settle to wearing more fashonable clothes over her usual combat outfit
"well I'm done packing if thats what your wondering and I thought as the day is still young I'd come over and go shopping" she said as I froze, Yang shopping?
Fuck no!
Taking my glasses off time slowed down as I jumped out of my seat and bolted towards the fence line
"oh no you don't!" I heard as time seemed to go back to normal as I jumped and vaulted over the fence line into the neighbours yard…..again
"come back Hamish! We are doing this!" I heard Yang shout as I continued to run
"i will not go anywhere with you!" I roared vaulting another fence and into another yard
"you are getting that make over!" Yang roared behind me as she was hot on my heels
"i will conform to your shit!" I yelled
"oh. Yes. You. Will RAAAAAAAGH!" hearing the yell I looked over my shoulder in time to watch in horror as ball came flying at my face
"oh shit"
*SMACK! thud*
"uuuuuuuuuugh I. hate. You." I moaned staring up at the smirking face of Yang as she looked down on me and dropped my sunglasses over my head letting gravity perfectly slide them over my eyes
"face it Hamish, its time for you to finally get a combat outfit" Yang said as I groaned
I fucking hate conforming to this shit.
Linebreak
"hmmmmmm this looks pretty good" Yang said holding up and throwing another shirt to the ever growing pile of clothing I was carrying
"can this fucking torture stop" I growled angrily at my current torturer
"oh don't be such sour puss" Yang replied throwing another shirt
Argh it has been 20 minutes since we been here and she's already deciding it was time, time I conformed to the ways of being….pro-huntsman, by pro-huntsman I mean wearing a combat outfit designed with the toughest conditions in mind for any and all huntsman while being just as fashionable as any huntress. Something I didn't want to be a part of, I liked my clothes, they were nice, they fit and most of all they were cheap.
Not like this crap, 70 lien for a shirt when I can just go to my local general store and get like 5 for 20 lien, 20 LIEN!
Argh but now here I was being forced to try and on and buy this crap.
"oh come on I know you like to save your money but think of this as an investment for your future" Yang said as I couldn't see her face but if I could I'd be staring at her with a very heated glare
"yang I'm not buying all this crap" I stated as I felt myself get pulled around until I finally stopped and was made to drop the clothes
"ok get in there and put on whatever I give you" Yang said pointing to the changing room
By the lord up above, I'm not religious by any means BUT GOD IS TESTING ME!
And I don't want to be tested
Turning I was about to bolt suddenly found myself thrown across the room and into the changing room as I was left to stare at the smirking Yang shaking her head with her hands on her hips
"not this time" I heard her say as all I could see was her eyes
Her glowing red eyes
2 hours later
2 hours, 2 fucking hours of trying on clothes after clothes after, argh fuck it!
"yang, this is ridiculous none of these clothes are me" I stated walking out of the changing room and staring at her blankly
"of course they don't, it would be slightly easier if you were actually cooperative we would have gotten this done in 30 minutes but you had to be a stickler and here we are standing around like a bunch of schmucks" Yang said as I rolled my eyes and moved towards the exit
"and where are you going" Yang said holding her hand in front me essentially stopping me
"look I'm going to be honest here I hate this but I'm sick of it so I'm going to do this once I repeat once, I am going to sort out this thing in less then 15 minutes and if you don't like the outcome of what comes out of this we'll do it your way, deal?" I proposed holding my hand out watching Yang as she gave me a frown
"10 minutes" she said grabbing my hand and we shook
"good hold my glasses" I said taking off and handing her my glasses before I made my way out of the changing rooms into retail portion of the store
"sigh lets do this" I said as I took a deep breath in and finally purposefully activated my semblance this time.
5 minutes later I came walking into the changing room holding a small pile of clothes, walking directly past a semi-amused look Yang and into the changing room and proceeded to get change.
Another 5 or so minutes I walked out my hands held out wide spinning on the tips of my white and black boots that reached half way up my calves, had a metal covering the tips of the shoes and the heels, tucked into them were a pair of black baggy cargo pants that had two additional side pockets on both sides of my thighs, my knees covered by a pair of light weight knee pads, holding up said pants was black belt holding pouches that were located all around my sides.
Finally reaching up to my torso I decided to change up from the black on black, I had white t shirt with black bonzai tree decal on it, over that I wore a white leather hooded jacket that reached to down to my waist, said leather jacket was light weight, had in build armored elbow pads that were made to look like just gray leather pads, on both sides of the jacket had a long dark blue stripe going up from the sleeves up to the shoulders, zips located all over the front of the jacket front as well as a pair of zips going from the inside of my sleeves up to the elbow, on the back of the jacket had blue decal of a nine tailed fox and finally on the ends of my sleeves, hood and my collar were a light brush of gray fur lines.
Yang stood there silently as her expression told me everything
"i know right, I know fashion better than you, thanks for holding these, I'm gong to go and pay for this" I said taking and slipping my sunglasses as I gave myself one last look towards the mirror and nodded
I looked good and I didn't care.
5 minutes later
"that cost me over 500 hundred lien" I growled towards a smirking Yang shrugging at me
"hey as they say it pays to be fashionable" she joked as I rubbed my temples in annoyance
"come on I'll buy you dinner, your mom wont mind I mean ten times out of ten she might think of this as a date ey?" she suggested while I just resorted to face palming at her attitude
Someone just kill me already
Please?
