A/N: Alright, Silver III Jhin here writing (by the time you're reading this, read: uploading) the next part of A New Purpose? Now, about League of Legends: Team YTJK, I might rewrite it after completing this story, or well maybe I will make it up for adoption. Now, in a few hours or so if I do not forget, I will be editing the previous chapter there is some that I forgot to write. And if I don't well, just know that when Gintoki was going back, he had the Dust with him.
Now, on to the chapter!
-LINE BREAK-
Glynda watched Ozpin with concern etched on her face. "Do you think Gintoki will be alright?"
Ozpin nodded his head to her question. "I believe he is alright. Young Gintoki is a child with a past that forced him to become strong or die."
Glynda sighed, then looked outside, watching the beautiful night filled with star and of course, the broken/shattered moon.
Both occupants of the room heard something coming and come it did, with a ding and the elevator opened. Showing them who took it to go in this room. Their faces marred with concern with the blonde woman's eyes widening at the sight.
"Here you go, Oz." Gintoki put the bag full of Dust on the table, some of it tainted with blood from his hand.
"Gintoki, what happened to you!?" Glynda crouched to Gintoki's height, with her hands holding Gintoki's shoulders.
"Well, those White Fangs happened. They won't give me the stuff (A/N: I make it sounds like a drug deal lmao) and tried to kill me, so I replied back in kind."
"Is there a survivor that you left behind?" Ozpin asked with a narrowed his eyes, hoping.
"Well, I did leave one alive but I don't think he will be in a few minutes, he would legit die of blood loss." Gintoki shrugged his shoulders. "I think they were just grunts though, none really gave me much of a challenge."
Ozpin heaved a sigh at how non-caring the child is. "Is there anything to report? And please, changed your clothes and take a bath after this."
Gintoki narrowed his eyes. "I felt someone was watching me when I was walking back to the bullhead. I do not who it is, but when I looked towards the direction, I think I saw a raven."
The adults widened their eyes at the information. 'So she's watching him… that Raven.'
"Well, I think that's all of it though I suspected some more of them will be going down to that warehouse. Unfortunately for them, all they see would be dead bodies with blood splattered to the walls and grounds, with the Dust they've stolen taken back." Gintoki shook his head as if disappointed.
"Why don't you just knock them unconscious?" Ozpin sighed.
"Well, I prefer to kill them in case they will up in a matter of minutes. Anyway, if that is all then I will be going back." And just like that, Gintoki turned his back on them and walked away.
"Professor Ozpin, is there any way to make him more reluctant on killing?" Glynda asked.
"I do not know Glynda, I truly do not know if there is even a way."
-LINE BREAK-
On the next day, in the cafeteria ground, on table sat the two tight-knitted teams: Team RWBY and Team JNPR. They were clearly discussing something or more like saying something to Jaune who just denied it but with no results.
Weiss meanwhile was looking at her Scroll at the news section and that is when her eyes widened after reading of the headlines. "Guys, listen to this!"
All 7 students stopped their bickering and watched at Weiss, waiting for her to continue what it is she wanted them to hear. "Members of White Fangs Found Dead In A Warehouse." Was the headlines she read then proceeded to read some more of it. Everyone were dead shock on hearing that especially Blake, wondering who killed said members. "Last night, 14 Faunus affiliated with the White Fangs were found dead with sword wounds on. It is unknown what they were doing in the warehouse, but a theory was made whoever killed them took whatever it is that brought them there. Unfortunately, one of them, who was left alive did not made it due to blood loss but she mentioned one name: Shiroyasha." Weiss finished.
Ruby put her hand up, asking a question. "Before I ask who, what is a 'Shiroyasha'?"
Pyrrha beat Blake in answering the young Rose's question. "Shiroyasha is a word in an old Mistralian language, meaning 'White Demon'."
Ruby let out an 'Ooh'. Jaune was scared to hear of such man coming to this school. Unfortunately for him, the man is a child and he befriended him along with Ruby. Blake was angered when she saw the state of the bodies in Weiss' scroll. Ren heaved a sigh and for once, Nora is silent, with an expression no one ever seen on her.
A yelp of pain caught their attention as they all saw Cardin and his team hurting a Faunus, who seems to be a second-year.
"See? I told you it was real!" Cardin and his teammates laughed when he grabbed the Faunus' ear.
"S-stop, it hurts!" Even though she said that, she didn't made any move or any attempt to pull them off.
Carding ignored her and kept on grabbing her ear, his teammates laughing loudly. And what seems to be weird is, how no one in the area decide to help her.
"I hate bullies like him." Ruby made an angry pout on her face.
"It must be hard to be a Faunus." Yang commented, Blake heaved a sigh at her partner's comments.
Then a voice, a voice the two teams recognized was heard.
"When she told you to stop, then it means you should stop."
Cardin and his teams watched to the sound of the voice only to see a child by how he looked. And there, the two teams saw that it was the same kimono he always wore, though there is something that suspiciously looked like blood which only noticed by Blake.
Cardin grinned. "And what you're going to do about it, shortie?"
Gintoki ignored him in favor of the rabbit Faunus. "You alright, Velvet?"
"Y-Yes." The Faunus, now revealed as Velvet, replied timidly. "C-Can we just go? I don't w-want you to hurt them."
"Hmm, sure I suppo-" Gintoki was cut-off by a shout from the tall man.
"I'm talking to you, you dipshit!" Cardin bellowed, a clenched fist ready to punch Gintoki.
Ruby was worried by the sight but was grabbed by her sister before she could dash there with her semblance.
Gintoki his sword, which is sheathed, to intercept the strike. He then used the hilt to jab right on Cardin's face. The taller man grabbed his nose, which was the main part hurting from the jab, groaning all the while. When they saw his nose, everyone was shocked.
The nose looked a bit bent to the right, with blood oozing from the nostrils.
"What you guys waiting for? Get him!"
The other three went into action as they were told, one went for a kick, which was dodged. When he was caught of balanced, Gintoki made a powerful slicing motion with his sheathed sword, hitting the knee of the leg, earning him a sound of a bones dislocated in the joint.
Another one decided to grab Gintoki's face, the latter saw it and kicked hard where the sun never shine. Then a powerful roundhouse kick to the face that sent him skittering away, crashing on a nearby table, the foods on top crashing on him.
The last one was a bit reluctant than the other two, but he made a mad run for Gintoki, letting out a war cry all the while. Gintoki stared at him blankly, watching the taller male making a right hook. Gintoki dodged it at the last second intentionally, letting him punch air with the silver head dodging all the way, infuriating the assaulter.
"Stay still!" He screamed.
"Alright, I will." Gintoki stood like a statue, and when the fist is near, he grabbed it with his smaller fist, pulling the owner closer to him. As the owner is closer, he pummeled the former's face rapidly, with each strike, blood dripping from his nose. As he clenched his first for another strike, Gintoki was stopped.
"Gintoki, please stop!" Velvet screamed to him. "That's enough…"
The owner of the name reluctantly released his clenched fist, lowering it to his side, letting go of the man's face he's currently holding. Gintoki looked at Velvet's face, surprised to see the tears gathered in her eyes. He looked at his fist, the fist he used to punch the guy's face and it is red, red because of the latter's blood.
Gintoki looked at everyone, who staring at him with fear in their eyes, including Jaune and Ruby. When he saw the last two, his fist clenched in pain, as if it was squeezed tightly. He clenched his fists, drawing blood, but it was unseen he hoped.
Unfortunately, it was not. For two Faunus in the area, Blake and Velvet, saw it, dripping with each drop.
A voice, with authority in it spoke. "What happened here!?"
Everyone, except Gintoki, looked at the owner of the voice, revealing Glynda, with Professor Port beside her. As their answers to her question, everyone stared at Gintoki. Some filled with fear, some filled with worry. Glynda approached him, while there is concern in her eyes, it is still filled with authority.
"Are you alri-"
"I'm alright, you don't have to worry about me." Gintoki cut her off, walking towards anywhere from that place.
Glynda sighed, shaking her head. "Port, please bring the four students to the infirmary, especially the one with bleeding face."
"Very well, Ms. Scarlatina, if you may help me carry them?"
"I-I understand." The Faunus nodded, approached the down figures and carry them to the infirmary along with Port.
Ruby approached Glynda, with concern. "Will Gintoki be alright?"
Another sigh from the blonde, this day she is filled with sigh it seems. "To answer your question, I am afraid I do not know the answer myself, Ms. Rose."
Ruby looked at the ground after hearing the reply from Glynda. "H-How are they still hurt? Cardin and the others?"
Glynda looked at her with surprise evidenced in her face. "I suspected he told you and Mr. Arc considering how close all three of you." Ruby, including the other 7 now with the young Rose, stared at Glynda in confusion, the latter began to speak with low voice, to avoid the other students in the area from hearing it. "Both Teams, Gintoki have at least meet you, worked together, though I do not know whether he already know your name or not. Do not tell this to anyone that is not acquainted with him."
Team RWBY and Team JNPR, stared with nervousness at the cryptic answer. "Sakata Gintoki." Glynda began, speaking Gintoki's full name. "Of course, Gintoki is his first name but well, I'm sure you already know that." Glynda shook her head. "Gintoki, do NOT have Aura."
Everyone stared at the older blonde with shocked evidenced on their faces. Specifically, Ruby and Jaune are much shocked than the others.
"Now, in a battle with Hunstman or criminals alike, people would think that he is at a huge disadvantage." Everyone nodded at the obvious statement, without Aura, fighting criminals would be difficult if they have something you lacked, in this case, Aura. "Wrong."
That sent everyone tumbling, staring at her with a gaping mouth. "It seems as if, whoever is fighting Gintoki is sent into a fair fight. Any strikes from Gintoki, his opponent's Aura will not be able to block it. They can use their Semblance, or Aura for the healing, but NOT the defense. Gintoki's strike will bypass through his opponent's Aura, rendering it useless for defense."
'That, that is impossible!' is everyone's thought. "Now, don't say he don't have a soul. The Aura is there, but no matter what, it can't be unlocked. Although he had no Aura, because of how he can bypass his opponent's Aura, he sliced Qrow's hand when they first met, engaged in a fight."
Now that caught Ruby's and Yang's attention much more. "W-What? He did what? And why did he do that!?" Yang broke out of it first, asking the question.
"I will not reveal Gintoki's past to you, that is up to him to do so. When Gintoki first saw Qrow, both of them in a forest filled with Grim with only them in the same area, the former's acknowledged Qrow as someone dangerous, someone who will kill him if he's not removed." Glynda replied to Yang's question.
"Honestly, he will be able to defeat you all to put it bluntly." That earned the older blonde some challenging grin, a raised eyebrow, and many others. "He will have trouble with Ms. Nikos obviously, but let me tell you." She paused for a while. "His instincts, is second to none. He used that to fight, and probably because of it, he will be able to figure out what to do to win against his opponent."
"But, please know him very well before you judge him from whatever you saw him had done today. He is all but a child, 11 or 12 at best."
-LINE BREAK-
In the courtyard, Gintoki stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the beautiful sight of the city below.
'What I have done… is it right? It is right, right? I protected her, right? But why is she crying? Is it wrong? Just tell me already!' At the last thought, Gintoki punched the nearby tree, piercing his knuckles because there is some bark standing out. He pulled his hand out with no acknowledgement of the pain bestowed upon him.
Gintoki eyes widened and immediately leaped to the right, and correct to his instincts, something appeared. A glowing red swirling vortex. And then it split, opening to reveal whatever behind it.
And out from the vortex, is a woman that suspiciously looked like Ruby's sister. She wore a shallow cut black and red dress, five necklaces with an assortment of beads, a red girdle-belt, and a pair of matching gauntlets.
An object that looks to be made from feathers hangs from the right side of her skirt. She also wore detached black leggings with a red splatter pattern. Under her leggings she wore black boots, which have red high heels and soles.
She is a woman of pale complexion, like most woman Gintoki seen ever since he arrived here. With hair as black as raven, with black highlights. Her hair is loosely done up in a ponytail, tied by a red shawl, with the end resembling curved black feathers. Her eyes are red, which is a bit new for Gintoki.
Gintoki raised an eyebrow at the woman but then broke into a grin. "Whoah, say if Ruby's and Yang's mother is different, then both female have sex, I already have a picture of their daughter! Incredible!" The silver head broke into a laughter, with tears threatened to fall.
A click sound, and Gintoki leaped to the left, dodging a slice from the woman Yang lookalike. Gintoki whistled, "Fast, but do you have the endurance to keep it up?"
"More than enough to slay you." She replied.
"Ooh, dark. Unfortunately for you, I have fought someone using an umbrella, who possessed speed and durability that is even greater than yours. Let's see if you can match him." Gintoki taunted, unsheathing his blade. Gintoki saw how her blade is still not removed from the scabbard. 'What that thing is called...? Iaido, was it?'
Gintoki dashed forward right at the woman, sword ready to cut. The woman drawn her blade from the sheath, crossing with Gintoki's blade, with a clank sound. Gintoki jumped back, avoiding a jab from the woman, used the butt of the hilt to knock the woman's blade up.
While it is still in possession, the woman was a bit off balance from the encounter, with Gintoki taking full advantage to strike the woman. The woman regained balance just in time to block the sword from cutting her.
"For a lousy brat, you are not half bad." The woman impressed by the display. "What is your name?"
"You know, lady, it is good manner to introduce one self before asking someone's name." Gintoki gave her a wry smile.
The woman gritted her teeth. "Raven, Raven Branwen."
"Pleasure to meet you, Raven. My name is Sakata Gintoki." True to his word, Gintoki gave her his name, but then noticed something strange. No one is around, no student. 'Probably in the class.'
Both fighters jumped back, circling each other, each waiting for their opponent to strike. Gintoki narrowed his eyes, as he eyed his right, then struck his sword at his right, intercepting the blade from Raven. He swept his feet to knock Raven's off, but proved unsuccessful as the latter jumped to avoid then made another slash to the silver head which he moved his head to the right to dodge.
Gintoki then struck hard on Raven's blade, shattering the blade Raven used, with the latter's impressed with the silver head's power in his strike. The moment the blade shattered, Gintoki let out a war cry and slashed down on Raven, from the shoulder to the hip.
Blood sprayed from the wound, with Raven more shocked at her Aura rendered useless by the strike.
Gintoki regained balance and sent another strike, this one a stab to finish it once for all, aiming for the heart. As the blade is getting near, Raven took a gamble.
'A small price for my life.'
She grabbed the blade, from the blunt side all the way to the edge, the blade stopped just when the tip pierced through a little on Raven's chest. Her hand cried in pain, with blood pooling on her palm due to grabbing it to force it to stop.
Gintoki narrowed his eyes, the crimson dead-eyes with the intent to kill the opponent in front of him. Gintoki forcefully, with great strength, pulled the blade away from her grasp, slicing more of her palm's skin and flesh.
As it is now freed from her grasp, Gintoki moved to strike once more this time, jumping before slashing towards her head.
Raven used her uninjured hand to punched Gintoki's face with great strength, knocking the latter off balance. Raven quickly grabbed another of blade in her possession and quickly stabbed through Gintoki, from the front to the back.
Gintoki's eyes widened before him, blood pooling in his mouth. Raven pulled out another blade, stabbing through Gintoki in another part, near the kidney area, and lastly, with grabbing Gintoki's own blade, she used it to one last slash on his chest.
The area they're fighting on, is stained with blood, that much is obvious. Gintoki slowed down, breath shaky, and then downed on one knee. Finally, laid down on the ground on his back, staring up at Raven.
"You choose the wrong side." She began. "You are a strong one. You can bargain more from me than Ozpin. I will give you a choice. Join me or those you cared for, will die by my blade."
Gintoki widened his eyes, his eyes flashed with vision of Ruby, Jaune, Ozpin, Glynda, killed by Raven. And the center of it, is him, wailing in agony because of his lost. Unconsciously, his eyes gathered tears, the latter threatening to fall.
"A week. I will give you a week to decide. Choose wisely, or you might regret it." Raven ended, opening a portal, she entered it and disappeared without a trace.
As he laid alone there, the students still hasn't come out from their class, his voice rang through. "Damn it all!" He coughed out more blood after his scream. "Damn bitch, damn all of it!" He got on his knee, then tried to stand up.
With sluggish attempts done, he finally done it to get on his feet, and then dragged himself towards the tree. The tree of the branch where he always slept on. With each drag, the pain becoming stronger. As he finally arrived, he laid his back on the tree.
"I… I will show her… that dumb bitch thought she's so powerful…" Gintoki cursed with low voice, more blood oozing out from his wounds, and his mouth pooled of blood.
The ground beneath him stained blood, laying on a tree, with his own pool of blood beneath him. Once again Gintoki did not feel it, but he is crying now. His eyes no longer steady, as with each tick, his eyes started to blinked much more, and his eyelids becoming heavier to lift to stay awake.
And then, in a few moments, darkness grabbed his consciousness.
-LINE BREAK-
'Please know him very well before you judge him from whatever you saw him had done today.'
Glynda's words rang in Ruby's mind. And she knows about. She already knew about it. She knew that Gintoki, is a child with a huge burden on his shoulders. He is a kind soul, one that always shine brightly. People might thought he is creepy, he is scary now, because of his act in the cafeteria. But she, Ruby Rose, do not care.
Because she know who Sakata Gintoki is. Without a doubt, in her mind, Gintoki is one of the kindest people she ever met. He never did discriminate a Faunus, in fact, it was because of the Faunus Velvet Scarlatina that the fight even broke out in the first place.
She saw it, she was trying to comfort Gintoki, but he immediately walked away from Glynda. She saw the expression on his face. Worry, anxiety, fear. She saw how distraught Gintoki really was. And what she did?
She spent her time in the History Class, along with her team and Team JNPR. Instead of approaching Gintoki, to comfort him and to always cheer him up as a friend, she chose study over helping her friend.
'And I'm supposed to be a Huntsman –or a Huntswoman in her case-? '
Hunstman always saved people, whether that is from natural catastrophe, fending off the Grimm, or capturing criminals. Even comforting someone counts as saving, when comforting or cheering up, it might save a life.
Ruby kept walking on, unconsciously to the courtyard. As she realized where she was, a single thought entered her mind.
'Is Gintoki at his sleeping spot?'
Ruby noticed that the area is quickly filled with students, both first year and the upper year. She noticed the sunset over the cliff. A beautiful sight it was. Then as she was near it, as her eyes locked to the sight in front of her, her silver eyes widened.
The sight of Gintoki, her friend, laying on a tree in a pool of blood beneath him, two swords on his body, stabbed piercing through.
"G-Gintoki!" She cried out. She checked the wounds, stab wounds and a huge straight strike on his chest, letting out blood. 'I don't have clothes or anything, so I can't pull the swords out else he will run out of blood much faster.'
With that in mind, Ruby with a dying hope for her friend to still be alive, carried Gintoki bridal style. And immediately, she used her Semblance to get through the infirmary much faster.
Well, seems like speed is always appreciated.
-END-
