Hello everyone, I am back with another chapter of Little Yu. It's been a while since the last update, huh. Well, I said that I'd be doing a bi-monthly upload. So here's the second one of the month. Also, I've got a new editor! And by editor, I mean person who'll read my fics and give me feed back on mistakes and her thoughts. And by new, I mean willing roommate. Say hi, Jessica!
Jessica: Hello. ^.^
So, if you see any mistakes or plot holes, blame her, she's suppose to spot these things.
J: -.-# Really Vin? You know I can just step on your foot, right?
So please, take it easy with any criticism, at least until the fourth of March.
J: *Sigh* I'll take it, I guess.
So, after a bit of thinking I've decided-
J: More like I gave him the suggestion, and he rolled with it.
-you're going to be owing this a lot, aren't you?
J: Yup. :D
*Sigh* That I'm not going to have this Fic follow the exact story line as RWBY. Rather, it's going to be different here and there, mainly on bad guys, the Festival, and villains.
J: It's very different.
Yes, thank you Jess. So let's get to reading! (The previous conversation was her typing this at the same time as I was. She tends to leave me alone when I write anything that's not the author's notes. Get used to this, because now that I have included her, she ain't going to disappear)
~Linebreaker~
Yang was uncharacteristic silent. She just returned with Weiss from collecting the sap, without her scarf. The two of them reported to Professor Goodwitch to drop it off. Strangely enough, Yang was the one carrying all 6 jars. When asked about why Yang was carrying the sap and where her scarf was, Weiss claimed that Yang spilled some of the sap onto it and her bag, so she was delegated to carry them all. It wasn't a complete lie, since in Yang did spill a bit on the outside of her bag when she was moving the jars. Looking towards few spots of sap, Glynda accepted the answer and dismissed them for the day. It was getting pretty late on in the day.
The two of them made their way back to the dorm. Ruby and Blake still haven't made it back from the trip yet, so the room was empty. Automatically, Yang took Weiss bag and placed it on her bed, getting no complaints from her. She opened it up to reveal the mini version of Yang, wrapped up poorly in the orange scarf. Yang carefully took her out, as to not wake her up, and set her on the bed. The two of them looked at the girl in silence.
"We can't keep her." Weiss eventually said, surprising Yang from her response. "We're teenagers, Huntresses. We wouldn't have-"
"We can't just abandon her Weiss. I won't." Yang responded, sounding very serious about the issue.
"I'm not saying we abandon her, Yang." Weiss said, a little surprised about Yang's tone. "But we don't know if it's a permanent thing, or only temporary. If it's permanent, we can't raise he-"
"And why not?!" Yang nearly shouted, causing Weiss stepped back.
"We are Huntresses in training, Yang." Weiss reasoned. "We don't have jobs, we don't know how to take care of a child, not to mention even if we do keep her, we'll be in class a majority of our day. We won't have any time to care for her."
"I don't care, Weiss. She stays." Yang answered, as her eyes reddened.
Weiss looked at her for a short while. She was completely serious about keeping the miniature version of herself. As if she was going to raise her as her own...
"Why?" Weiss asked. "Why do you want to raise her?"
Yang was silent as her eyes went back to lical. She sighed as she went to one of her seats.
"There's a reason why Ruby and I don't look alike." Yang said as Weiss took a seat. "Ruby told you about Summer, right?"
Weiss nodded. Ruby told her all about her mother a few weeks ago. About how she was a caring mother for both Yang and Ruby. About how devastating it was when they learned she wasn't coming home after a bad mission.
"Well, Summer wasn't the first love Dad lost. She was her second." Yang said as Weiss put the pieces together in her head. "The first... was my mother."
Weiss's eyes widened as she heard this. She just thought that Yang and Ruby just took after there parents. She didn't really consider they had different mothers.
"I don't know much about my mother. I only know that she left me with him a few days after I was born." Yang continued. "No one has seen her since then. I'm still looking for her, you know."
"Why did she leave?" Weiss asked, hoping she didn't overstep her boundaries.
"I don't know. I don't think anyone did." She said. "Uncle Qrow just said she packed up her things when we were gone, and left. I know she's still alive. She has to be."
Weiss listened before nodding.
"Why tell me this?" Weiss asked as Yang stayed quiet. "... It's about her, isn't it?"
Yang didn't need to look to tell she was talking about the mini version of herself.
"I grew up without knowing my real mother. Summer will always be my mother, don't get me wrong." Yang replied. "But I don't want this girl to live without knowing, you know?"
Weiss stayed quiet. She raised the pro's and the con's in her head as Yang stared at the window. 'I can't believe I'm actually considering this...' Weiss thought to herself, looking at the sleeping girl. She thought about it for a few more seconds, before eventually turning to Yang.
"Are you serious?" Weiss asked, causing Yang to look at her confused. "I mean, are you serious about raising her? I get that you don't want her to live without a real parent, but are you absolutely sure about this?"
Yang looked at the mini-her as she silently slept. She had a small smile on her face as she snuggles into the bed.
"Completely." She said, turning back to Weiss as she had a serious face.
"Okay, then." Weiss said, taking a short sigh. "In that case, I'll help where I can."
Yang looked at her, surprised by her response. But she didn't voice it, she just gave Weiss a hug. She struggled for a moment, but eventually accepted it.
"Thanks, Weiss." Yang mumbled out as she put her down.
Weiss nodded, and was about to answer back when they heard a loud yawn. They turned their heads to see the Mini-Yang sitting up, with her eyes closed, as she stretched her arms out. When she finished, she opened her eyes, which were a very light color of blue-magenta, to see Yang and Weiss.
The little girl blinked twice, staring at the two 'giants' as they stared at her as well. The little girl had a neutral expression, as Yang gave her a caring, but careful look and Weiss a cautious one.
"He-lloooo~" Yang said softly, as the little girl stared at her mainly. "How are you doing, little ol' you?"
The little girl just stared at her, causing Yang to worry a little.
"Mom?" The girl questioned as she tilted her head by a bit, causing the two girls to freeze.
Mom. She actually set mom. And, although it is strange, it is perfectly understandable, since the two of them share a very striking resemblance. Yang smiled sweetly as she sat down next to her.
"Well, I guess you can call me Mom." Yang said as the girl looked up at her. "What's your name?"
The girl was silent for a moment. What WAS her name? She didn't really know the answer, hoping her mother would know. But, then she recalled something her mother said to her: 'How are you doing, little ol' you?'... you...
"Yu." The girl said as the girls looked at her surprisingly. "My name is Yu."
Yang smiled as she took Yu in her hands.
"Well, Yu, my name is Yang." She said as she placed her on her lap. "This is Weiss, but feel free to call her Aunt Weiss, or Aunt Weissicle."
"Hey!" Weiss said, objecting to the name as Yu gave a small chuckle, causing Yang to grin. "Don't encourage her, Yu."
"Okay, Aunt Weiss." Yu said innocently as Weiss looked at the girl in surprise, before giving a smile.
But, like most moments, it came to an end, as the dorm room opened, causing Yu to momentarily hide behind Yang. It was Ruby and Blake, each coming back from their own mission.
"Heeeello Yang and-" Ruby began, shouting loudly as she and Blake entered the room and took noticed to the miniature version of Yang hiding behind her. "Weiss? Why is there-"
"Mama, who are the two giants?" Yu asked Yang innocently as Blake and Ruby looked at Yang in either surprise (R) or confusion (B). Weiss was somewhat in the background, looking for a way to explain it.
After a few minutes explaining,
Ruby was next to Yu, playing around with her new 'niece' as she played aunt. Yu seemed to be enjoy playing with Aunt Ruby. Especially since she was rushing around a bit with her semblance with Yu attached. Meanwhile, Yang was watching the two play as Weiss finished explaining her circumstances.
"So, she was made from an explosion combine with Yang's hair and some of your Dust?" Blake asked, a bit spectacle. "And she sees Yang as her mother?"
"Isn't that what I just said?" Weiss said, a little agitated. "Why is that hard to believe?"
Blake just gave her a look.
"... Right, I see." Weiss relented. "But she's there, in the flesh and as all of us can see."
"So, what are you going to do Yang?" Blake asked as Ruby stopped playing but was still gave Yu attention as she listened in. "I mean, we are still in-"
"I'll tell you the same thing I told Weiss, she's staying." Yang said with a voice that held no room for argument, surprising the two newcomers. "I want her to at least know her real parents, or rather parent."
Blake nodded, remembering a talk she had with Yang recently about her own mother, when she went out one night and didn't come back until a few minutes before curfew covered in bruises.
"She's completely serious about it, Blake." Weiss said. "The most we can do now that Yang made her mode is help her."
"Yeah, I'll be the best Aunt Yu will ever see." Ruby said, unknowingly making a pun as Yang and Yu chuckled at the joke, with Weiss and Blake even cracking a smile. 'I'll be a better Aunt then Uncle Qrow!'
"Well, Weiss can buy anything we need to provide with Yu." Blake admitted as Yang smiled. "But what about when we're in class? We can leave her unsupervised."
Yang froze. She still hadn't thought that far yet. Luckily, Ruby had an answer.
"Maybe we can leave her with a teacher." Ruby said, having Yu flying though the air like a plane. "Then we just pick her up afterwards."
"Except that all the teachers have classes to teach." Weiss countered as Yang thought about it. "And even so, some of them may not help with Yu."
"No, Ruby has the right idea." Yang said as RWB looked at her. "And I think I know just who to ask."

V & J's Box of Author Notes
... You did something to my Box.
J: Democracy!
But... But... My Box!
J: *In a singy-dingy voice* Crutches!
... I'll shut up now. You are one cruel bitch aren't you?
J: And your a lazy motherfucker sometimes, but you don't see me whining about it.
Touché. Welcome to the Box, everyone! How'd you like the chapter? It's rather short, I know.
J: I liked the ending of it. Cliffhanger! I already know who Vin has planned, so I'll give you guys a hint if you've read a couple of lucky's comics: Called Yu Beacon's Mascot.
You give way to obvious hints. Anyways, there's only one thing that I want to cover with you all, and that is scheduling. Me and Jess did some talking, and we settled on two days for every month. And that's the middle of the month, except for months that ends in the odds (in that case, coin flip, best 2 out of 3), and the last day of the month.
J: To put that in retrospect, we flipped a coin for the first upload for February, and it's going to be on the 15th. Likewise, the second will be on the 29th. So mark those Monday's people!
Thank you, Jess. And that's all we got for you today.
See you around,
Vindex + Jessica
