Shit's about to go off, I hope yall are more ready than I am. Enjoy.
Raven sat on a rock near her tent at the middle of the camp, Vernal and a young woman with pink hair holding a bow stood nearby in combat stances. Vernal was breathing a bit harder than normal and was sweating lightly, the girl with the bow however was panting heavily and drenched. Her body was covered in bruises and scrapes.
"Enough." Raven spoke up, her disappointed gaze sitting squarely on the pink haired girl. Her name was Opal and she was the current spring maiden as well as a huge disappointment to the bandit queen.
Opal fell to her knee almost immediately in an attempt to catch her breath, Vernal sheathed her weapon and looked to Raven who remained seated. The woman's arm was only freshly out of a sling and was still healing. She remembered the night Raven's portal had opened up next to her and the woman fell through bleeding heavily with a chunk of flesh torn out of her shoulder. Never before had she seen the woman she all but idolized in such a state, she still had no idea who had done such damage but if they had done so they were either extremely powerful or dead.
"Do you need anything else from me?" Vernal asked looking around as she had just now noticed the light mist in the air.
"No, just get the girl cleaned up, we'll pick this up tomorrow." Raven shook her head. The bandit queen stood and was about to walked into her tent when she paused, the mist around camp was getting thicker. "Vernal, when was the last time it rained?" She asked.
"About six days ago." The girl responded.
Raven furrowed her brow as she tensed up. "Are you Raven Branwen?" A voice could be heard from all around instantly setting everyone present on high alert.
"Whose there, show yourself now!" Raven demanded drawing her blade, the mist continued to get thicker until she could barely see the end of her sword.
"I've been looking all over for your tribe here, spent several weeks scouring Mistral. All to ask you a simple question." The voice spoke, again it was impossible to pinpoint a location as it sound like it was coming from every direction. "Answer my question and I'll be on my way and you will never here from me again."
"And if I don't?" She growled.
"Then I'll destroy tribe and grind their bones to dirt while you watch." The voice answered with the calmness of someone telling what they want for dinner. "And when I'm done I'll pull the information from your mind."
"Opal, blow this mist away." Raven spoke into the mist.
"Yes ma'am!" She heard in response, after a few moments a powerful gust of wind swept through the camp taking away the mist.
Raven looked around for the owner of the voice. "WHERE IS HE?!" She screamed looking around.
"Right here." In an instant Raven spun around and swung her blade at the figures neck.
They made no attempt to dodge as the blade passed straight through them followed almost immediately by Vernal's chakram. Jumping back Raven watched as nearly every member of her tribe opened fire on the person who simple remained unmoving as hundreds of dust rounds tore through him. After what felt like minutes their guns ran dry and the figure remained completely still. He wasn't very tall, likely a bit shorter than Vernal. Any other details were impossible to make out underneath the cloak, even his face was hidden behind that odd mask he was wearing. "Are you all done?" He asked sounding annoyed, which seeing as he was just the target of a small storm of ammunition was in and of itself a bit intimidating. "Good, now I'll ask my question. Where can I find Qrow Branwen?"
Raven raised an eyebrow, she'd been expecting several different questions when first spoke. Who was the spring maiden, where are the relics, what are Ozpin's weaknesses? She hadn't been expecting a question about her idiot brother, and as much as she wanted to just tell this person where he was she couldn't for several reasons. First was that if she simply caved to this strangers demands it would make her look weak in front of her tribe, next was that she knew that Qrow was often in close proximity to Yang and she refused to actively put her daughter in danger. Finally and easily the most difficult to admit was the fact that even if he'd turned his back on the tribe, even if he was a drunken fool who followed Ozpin's every word as gospel, he was still her twin brother and she loved him.
"And why would you want to know that?" Raven asked tightening her stance.
"He knows something, and I need to know that something." The figure responded.
"What if he refuses?" She continued.
"Then I'll do the same to him that I told you I would to you, only with what he cares for." And that settled it, this person was a threat to Yang.
"Vernal, sweep him." Raven said causing the girl to nodded and charge.
Patch
Kakashi rolled over in his bed and wrapped his arm around the warm mass next to him, he breathed in deeply savoring the smell of fruits. He relaxed further as further warmth wrapped around his legs. He remained still like this for several minutes before his brain slowly began turning on and his eye cracked open. "Yang?" He asked in a whisper after realizing the thing he'd been cozying up to was in fact his girlfriend.
The girls eyes fluttered open as she looked up at him, a few seconds later she closed them again and buried her face into his chest. Kakashi sighed as he closed his eye again. "You know your dad will kill us if he finds us like this." He said with his arm still wrapped around her and their legs still tangled up.
"Which do you think he'd be more mad about, us being in bed together or the fact that I'm naked?" Yang asked with a giggle. Kakashi's eye shot open as he instantly lifted the covers only to find that she was wearing her usual pajamas, a shirt and a pair of short shorts. Yang began laughing even harder. "Perv."
"I hate you." He sulked as he laid back.
Yang nuzzled into his neck. "Dad got called into work, Ruby went into Vale and uncle Qrow won't be back til next week. So we have the whole house to ourselves." She spoke softly into his ear.
Kakashi smiled at the thought. "What do you want to do?"
Yang hummed to herself for a few moments. "I was think a nice long make out session followed by an unhealthy lunch then we'll enjoy a monster movie marathon, likely including another make out session." She explained her idea as she pressed her chest into his arm.
"Sounds like a plan." Kakashi nodded before he pressed his lips against hers.
Mistral
Obito rammed his knee into the chest of one of the bandits attacking him, he could feel the mans sternum shatter from the force. Dropping low he then swept the feet out from under the feet of the woman who tried to run up behind him. This one was more agile then a lot of the others as she quickly caught herself and backflipped away. Bringing his arms together behind him Obito slammed his gauntlets together, when he pulled them apart a yellow glowing chain.
He rushed the retreating woman who drew a knife and swung downward at his face when he got within arms length only for her eyes to widen as, like nearly every other attack they'd used on him so far, the blade passed straight through him without even the slightest kind of resistance. Unable to react in time she watched as Obito continued to run straight through her, once he was on the other side of her his chains slammed into her like a clothes line and Obito detached the ends allowing them to wrap around the woman. A moment later the bandit woman was shrieking and convulsing as the lightning dust chain began electrocuting her.
At the beginning he had simply allowed all attacks to pass harmlessly through him with kamui, and while an enemy you can't touch is terrifying they didn't feel very threatening. So he decided to show just how much of a threat he was by taking on who he assumed was the second in command. The moment he began fighting back was the same moment it became clear that she was no match for him and the other bandits began joining in.
Obito tilted his head to the left avoiding the thrust of a spear, pivoting he grabbed the spear users hand and yanked him towards him. Turning his arm in an odd direction he quickly brought his fist down on the bandits elbow earning a loud snap as the elbow bent in the wrong direction, the man began howling in agony as he clutched the mangled limb.
Pulling the spear from the crippled mans other hand Obito began to spin it blocking several rounds from the second in commands weapons. With his other arm he created a red chain from the shackle on it. When she ran out of rounds he immediately threw the spear at the woman, with his sharingan it was easy to tell which direction she would dodge in. He flung his chain like a whip towards the still mid dodge woman from the direction she was moving, to his surprise however a pillar of ice burst out of the ground blocking the chain and allowing the girl to back off once again. Releasing the chain he turned his gaze to the pink haired girl kneeling with her hands on the ground, she'd been providing the others with support the entire fight.
Dropping to the ground he allowed himself to sink into it with Kamui he completely disappeared leaving the camp in silence for several moments. Then he shot out of the ground behind the girl with a sharp wooden sliver aimed at her. Just before the tip made contact with the horrified looking girls shoulder a blade began passing through Obito's torso, the tip of the sliver doing the same leaving the girl completely unharmed.
Obito spun on his heel and raised his prosthetic hand to the bandit chief behind him and fired off a round, at point blank it would be nearly impossible to block or dodge. Still the woman surprised him and vanished leaving only a bird in her place. For a split second Obito considered the possibility that she had used the substitution jutsu but discarded that knowing that these people couldn't use chakra.
The bird flew upwards and in an instant the woman was above falling towards the ground away from him.
"That's an interesting little trick." He chuckled. "So far I've been careful and lift your people alive, badly injured but alive. If this battle continues I don't know if I'm careful enough to not accidentally change that. Tell me where to find Qrow Branwen and I'll be on my way, otherwise." He turned quickly and slammed his foot into the still kneeling girl behinds stomach knocking her onto her back. Before anyone could react he placed the tip of the wooden stake against her throat, the small amount of blood that formed at the spot showed that she was out of aura. "She'll be the first accident."
Throughout the fight he'd notice the bandit queen had been very protective over the girl, any time he launched an attack at her she would step in to defend her. The woman glared at him hatefully. She was silent for nearly a minute before she lowered her blade with a look of enraged contempt. "Alright, but on one condition."
"I'm not sure you're in any place to set conditions." Obito responded.
Ignoring him she continued. "You must swear not to harm his family or any who live with him. Any qualms you have are with him and only him." By her voice he could tell she was desperate, though giving up her brother like this likely wasn't easy. This girl must be very special.
Obito thought about it for a few moments. "Very well, I accept your terms. Now where is he?"
The woman didn't reply until Obito pressed the tip a bit harder against the girls throat causing her to squirm a bit. Raising her blade she slashed at the air causing an odd red portal to open up. "This portal will take you directly to him."
Obito stared at the portal for several seconds. "And how do I know this portal won't just drop me into an active volcano or a massive horde of grimm?"
"Because that's not how my semblance works. I can create portals that will only take me to very specific people, my brother is one of those people." She answered.
Obito was silent for several more seconds before finally removing the tip from the girls throat. "Alright then, if this is a trap or a lie, I will return here in a matter of seconds and I will make good on my promise. Am I understood?" She nodded. Obito took several steps towards the portal.
He'd been paying close attention to the woman's body language, she was telling the truth. He was mere feet from the portal when he heard movement behind him, the pink haired girl had shifted her bow into a sword and was swinging it at him. "NO!" He heard the bandit queen scream as the girl attempted her sneak attack. With a single swift slash from the sharpened wood in his hand which he'd produced with wood style he watched as the girls head was removed from her shoulders. The cut was so fast and clean her face hadn't had the chance to shift into one of fear or pain or anything else. "NOOOO!"
Obito noticed the portal begin to shrink, he had to act fast. The woman charged him with rage in her eyes. Reaching into his pocket Obito pulled out his scroll and quickly threw it into the portal just before it closed.
In a blur of movement he then dodged the attack and reappeared next to one of the men he'd left writhing on the ground. "I am sorry that had to happen, blame instinct, or blame that girl for attacking when she did. Regardless, it's done and I'll be on my way." Before Raven could attack again Obito disappeared into Kamui.
Reappearing on a tree branch several miles away Obito looked down at the scroll he'd stolen off that downed mans body, opening it up he was pleasantly surprised there wasn't even a password protected. It only took a few minutes to download a program from the web, another few minutes later he finished entering his scrolls information and activated it. The program began running for a few seconds before a map appeared on the screen with a dot showing the current location of his scroll. "Vale country side." Obito's smile grew wider and wider under his mask. It was only a matter of time before he found Kakashi.
So Obito killed the spring maiden and made a permanent enemy in Raven and her tribe, told you shit was about to go off. Leave me a review and tell me what you all think. LATER.
