Chapter 9

"No date?" asked Sun with Neptune as they walked to Drake who was kneeling against the wall.

"No, and either way I did not come here to dance."

"You say that and yet, you are wearing something more expensive than my suit." Said Neptune as he saw that the blonde was wearing a full black suit with a green band on his right arm showing his family symbol while in the back was his personal one.

"My brother send it to me, and I really did not see any problem." Replied Drake as focused in the dance floor where he caught a glance of Yang dancing with Blake.

"At least I am not the only one without a date."

Sun smirked at that, "Technically, I am her date… although her first dance was already taken."

Drake deadpanned at that and then turned to Neptune waiting for an answer.

"I am not really kind of guy that is date material." Said Neptune rubbing the back of his head.

"That is probably the worst kind of Lie I have heard in a while."

"Told you." Said Sun.

"Besides, you have been spending time with Weiss, why didn't you invite her?"

"I really don't want to talk about it… hey where is Axl by the way?"

Drake knew he wanted to change the subject desperately, why? He didn't know nor care but since he saw how uncomfortable was getting the blue haired teen he decided to follow.

"Considering that something happened a while ago, I told him he could go and spent some time with his girlfriend."

'Not to mention it will give them some time to talk.' Thought Drake as he saw black and yellow finishing their dance.

"Well guys, that is my cue, see you later." Said Sun going to his date leaving Drake and Neptune alone while the blue haired boy eyes Weiss discreetly and Drake did the same with Yang.

"So… how exactly it is that you don't have a date." said Neptune trying to make conversation only to make the blonde shrug his shoulders.

"I don't know nor care, besides I don`t dance."

"Yeah, you really don't look like the type for this kind of events."

Drake looked at him, "Thank you for noticing that, but when I said 'I Don't dance.' I meant that I Don't dance."

Neptune looked at him puzzled at the statement until he finally understood what he meant causing him to raise his palm.

"High five."

"What?" asked Drake not understanding why he would want that but did it anyways.

"I seriously thought I wasn't the only one that-"

Neptune stopped what he was going to say and looked around to see if there was anyone nearby, "Don't know how to dance."

"It is not a big deal anyway."

"Easy for you to say, you are so serious that any kind of rumor would be unimportant."

"You got that right, but the worst thing you could happen to you is that Weiss tries to teach you, then you step on her, and probably just probably after that, you would enter ot her black list."

"You really suck at cheering someone to do something they don't want you know?"

"I am a realist, if you want someone who can tell you sugar words that might or not work, then talk with… everyone minus Weiss or in this case, me."

Neptune just sighed as he leaned back against the wall.

"This sucks… by the way, for someone who doesn't has a date, there is a girl that hasn't her sight on you for quite a while."

Drake just sighed thinking instantly it was Yang.

"Never seen her before, do you know her?"

That confused the blonde, since he knew that Neptune knew Yang, he looked at the direction Neptune was looking to see a girl with orange hair that he has not seen before.

"She may be looking at me, but the eyes suggest it is out of anger or something else, see you later Neptune, and good luck with your dilemma."

"Yeah yeah whatever." Said Neptune waving lazily his hand not looking at the blonde who walked to where the girl was only to stop by two armored soldiers of Atlas military to stop in his way.

'Too much security for a single girl?' thought Drake as he saw the girl now standing between the two.

"Can I help you?"

"… As I matter of fact you can, I was just wondering why were you looking at me like that considering that I am pretty sure none of us have met before."

"That is simple really, I am waiting for you to do something that would be qualified as bad." Said the orange haired girl with almost what it sounded to him like a robotic tone.

"And that would be?"

"Because you are a bad guy of course."

Drake`s eyes twitched, not because of what she said, but rather because it sounded like a certain tin head would say, "And that sudden impression of me would be because?"

"Simple, the general said it, and he is never wrong."

Yup, that confirmed it, that made him annoyed, "So if he tells you to jump from a bullhead with out a parachute would you do it?"

"Of course."

Drake turned around and started walking away.

"You are leaving just like that?"

"There is no point in talking with someone who follows orders like a mindless robot, so I am leaving this conversation when you decide to cut those strings holding you."

Had Drake turned around he would a felt a little bit of remorse for the saddened face the orange haired girl was giving him but quickly shook her head and changed of attitude ignoring what just happened unfortunately Drake could not do that by the simple mention of one of the persons he hated the most and things didn't get any better as in front of him stood one of the persons he wanted to avoid the most.

"So, after following your advice and helping my friends, I think it is time you and I finally had that talk." Said Yang with a smile on her face that turned into a serious one as she ended the sentence, making Drake to wish that something would happen to avoid this now, unfortunately that did not happen.

"Whenever you want." Said Yang who resting her back against the wall with Drake doing the same not saying anything.

"Come on, you acceded to have this talk if I solved my current problems," Yang beamed a wicked smile and narrowed her eyes, "And not insisted on a dance."

Drake sighed.

"I am still amused by the fact that you don't know how to do something so simple."

"It isn't simple and just like everyone in this room, I am human, so I am not perfect Yang." Said Drake knowing that wasn't exactly true.

"I know but I just can`t help but find it weird." Replied Yang giggling but then stopped as looked at his left arm, "Please start."

"I really don't know where to start." Said Drake raising and then looking at his left hand.

"The docks, start there."

"Well… as you might remember I was looking for Axl during that time, a friend of us, who by the way was letting me and Lambert stay in his place, gave me a tip about a possible heist in which the white fang was involved-"

"Wait, what does Axl have to do with the white fang?" asked Yang interrupting Drake, who was twitching by her interruption.

"Do you want me to talk or not?"

"Sorry, please continue."

"After meeting you and Weiss in the city, I headed to the docks to find none other than Sun and Blake, and then everything became complicated," Drake said as he recalled all of the events of that night leaving outside his family secrets including that fact that X was not only the current head of the family but also that he was the leader of the Maverick Hunters.

"Wow… just wow," said Yang after hearing the explanation, "So that is why you were behaving weird, but why is that all of the sudden you stared to eat again."

"Beats me, but I also wanted to talk to you about that."

"Huh?" asked Yang confused.

"After I make you leave,"

Yang narrowed her eyes.

"I lost consciousness in a moment during the fight and don't remember anything else, I already talked with my brothers and Ren about that day, but besides the fact that the prides of those two was crushed to the ground, there is nothing that tells me that something happened to me."

"So you want me to fill the blanks."

Yang crossed her arms and clenched them as she now started to remember what happened.

"Have you ever felt so desperately useless?"

Drake didn't have the chance to answer since Yang continued talking.

"I have, several times to be exact, but the last one happened that day in Forever Fall, seeing you there unconscious, and the reminder that I wasn't able to do anything at all is really frustrating."

"Yang," said Drake trying to get her attention as he noticed her eyes changed of color.

"He was going to kill you Drake, and I was not able to do anything at all."

Yang looked at him to show her red signaling her anger, "Had it not being for your brother, you would be death." Replied Yang with a voice that matched her red eyes, but also with a hint of sadness in it.

"There is nothing you could have done."

That made Yang more anger and useless, she turned to look at Drake ready to shout at him, only for her eyes to slightly wide as she noticed that Drake embraced her before she could say or do anything.

"I am happy that you were unharmed,"

Yang`s eyes widened not understanding how could he have so little care about himself, especially in the state he was in.

"The man you met in the forest had the second blade my big brother built, something horrible would had happen to you, if that blade wounded you. So I am happy without no remorse that you are ok."

Yang`s eyes softened at his words, but her eyes were still red, "Then why have you been avoiding me and giving me the ice treatment?"

Drake thought quickly about what to say, only to give up and come clean with her.

"Have you ever seen one of the persons you care being killed in front of you?" asked Drake, this time not giving Yang the chance to say anything, "I did that day."

"Last time I checked, we are having a conversation right now." Said Yang not really understanding where Drake was going with that statement.

"I have been having visions."

"Excuse me?" asked the blonde being more and more.

"As you heard, visions concerning you as a matter of fact, I had the first one in Junior`s bar,"

Yang instantly remembered the day and recalled that it was in that moment he started to act weird.

"It was about you being hit by the Atlesian Paladin, and then not getting up, at the begging, I thought that perhaps was the wound made by Purgatory that was making me see those things."

"So you grew concerned the moment you saw the paladin chasing Sun and Blake, didn't you?"

Drake nodded, "I was relived when I saw that you were ok, but that was substituted by anger and fear the moment you confirmed that my vision did happen."

"And the other ones?"

the question made him embrace her a little tighter, worrying her a little along with surprise the moment Drake`s next words did not come in his usual monotone voice, but actually a sad one.

"I saw you die Yang, I saw how her attack pierced through you head, and all because you didn't listen to me."

Now Yang understood why he was angry, having seen a person you care die in front of you was hard for him, even if it was a vision, that was at least what Yang thought not really knowing that what Drake saw was not a vision, but the real deal since he did not want to tell her that somehow he reversed time, now that would be unbelievable.

"I see, now I finally understand," said Yang finally returning the hug, "Had it been me, I would have probably acted the same way." Replied the blonde seeing that Drake was not leaving her go, something that surprised her a little.

"Say, now that you are not leaving me go, why don't we dance, I mean, you at least have to try it once right?" asked Yang hoping to change the mood as she waited for him to say something.

"Don't blame me if a step on you."

Yang giggled and then whispered on his ear saying the words he had told her while he was unconscious in the infirmary, "Relax, you care to much for me to do that."

"That is probably the first time I hear you say something so corny, that is out of your character." Replied Drake as he let Yang go and then take her hands to dance, only to see her giving him a devil like smile with lilac eyes half closed, "Good thing those are your words, not mine." Said Yang, making him wonder what did she meant by that while also having a sense of déjà vu the moment they started dancing almost as if he had seen it before, but right now he did not care at all, even to the point he decided to ask his question for another time, right now, he only wanted to enjoy the moment, not knowing that someone was watching him from afar.

"Aren`t you a little too old to do this kind of things?" asked Ozpin as he went up the stairs and looked at a man with a camera in hand taking pictures of a certain blonde.

"The universal law stipulates that the big brother should always have compromising pictures of the younger ones to embarrass them in the future." Replied X as he turned to look at the headmaster, "that, and I don't have any kind of photos of him, you wouldn't happen to have some, would you?"

The grey haired man shacked his head, "I am afraid that the one that had those pictures, was none other than Summer."

X frowned, "Shouldn't have asked."

Ozpin shook his head again, "No, it is alright." Replied the headmaster as he stood next X, "I suppose this is not the only reason you came here, am I right."

"Indeed, I could have asked a certain huntress to do this kind of you for me, but something came up that made me be here tonight."

"And that would be?"

X was about to answer only to be interrupted by the sound coming from his right hand, he looked at Ozpin and motioned his head to follow him.

"I got a call from a mole I have in the mavericks, it has been a while since he made contact with me-"

"And he chose this time and place to meet?"

"Really don't know why, but he insisted." Replied X as they exited the ballroom and walked around it to meet a person wearing a black cloak.

"You better have a good reason to call me here." said X not expecting what happened next.

"Hey hey, it wasn't my idea either mate."

X eyes widened as he heard the voice, it wasn't his contact, no, it was someone he didn't want to see at the moment.

"You better give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow your head off Dynamo." Said X as he morphed his hand into his booster and pointed at Dynamo who pulled off the hood to reveal the silver haired man.

"I suppose this isn't your contact." Ozpin said.

"No, but he is one of the persons that attacked the academy looking for Drake."

"You don't say." Replied the headmaster putting his guard up.

"People relax,"

Dynamo putted his hands in the air, "I am in your side."

"Then I suggest you to start explaining, where is he?"

"He couldn't come after what happened in Forever Fall, after that all of the heads of the mavericks came to Vale to a meeting, so he couldn't risk it by coming here."

"That still doesn't explain why did he choose you."

"Because you know I am not the typical Maverick, I am smarter."

"By smarter you mean you work for whoever pays the most, don't you?"

"You sure you hate me? Because you know me way to well."

X sighed in annoyance as he put the booster down.

"It must be quite the sum, if he is working as a mole." Said Ozpin.

"See, even he gets it, and the best part of all it is that, if I am caught then I am good as gone."

Ozpin looked at X with a deadpan, "He is not very smart."

"Greed is his fatal flaw, although it doesn't stop him from escaping alive." X replied and then looked at the silver haired man with a serious gaze, "What is it so important to send you?"

"Maybe the fact that our friends decided to involve the white fang further."

That was not good, until now the mavericks have only used the white fang as nothing more than a mere tool, if the mavericks wanted to involve them more was either for more difficult task, or something far worse.

"They had a site here in Vale, why, where and for what, I don't know, only that involves both parties someway."

"I will look into it," replied Ozpin taking the situation seriously.

"I appreciate it, anything else?" asked X looking back at Dynamo.

"A couple of things actually, the first one is that thanks to Drake reappearance, the mavericks seized everything they had been doing so far."

"We might have an idea of why." Said Ozpin already knowing the secret that Drake held.

"As are all of us, it isn't any secret to the mavericks."

"And that just makes things more complicated, what else?" asked X

"The reason I am here, he wanted me to ask you how Drake had been lately?"

X gave a puzzled look until his eyes opened slightly.

'So this was his doing.' Thought X while Ozpin was the one who decided answer him.

"He had recover the sense of taste and hunger, unfortunately he still lacks the need of sleep, any idea why is he asking this?" asked Ozpin having in mind something similar X`s thought.

"Not really, he only told me to ask you about that, now that all of this is settle, I will take my leave."

"Wait." X said with a serious voice, "Do you have any idea who was the woman who attacked Drake and his friends back in Forever Fall?"

Dynamo narrowed his eyes, "The only thing I know, is that she is the daughter of the current leader of the mavericks, her name is Veronica and she has a brother called Orchid, and as you might guess-"

"Both are celestials." said X feeling a headache coming.

"And I am afraid, I don't any idea what their domains are." Replied Dynamo only to receive a nod from X taking that as a message to leave which he did.

"Looks like things are getting out of hand."

"So it seems, I will also start to dig about the White Fang`s recent movements and send someone to investigate, I will tell you if I find anything." X said as he headed his way as well leaving Ozpin to thing in what his next move was going to be, unfortunately that would have to wait as he saw James.

"Leaving already?"

AN: short chapter, yeah I know but I am going to enter to class again in about two weeks and I have to do something for it before I enter.

This chapter was perhaps the weakest of all seeing that I only had those two scenes planned for it and nothing else came to mind, another thing I wanted to say it is that I might put in permanent hiatus this fic for the lack of time I am going to have and because some of the set ups because it is a shame to say that things are getting out of hands with all the plot holes I had been leaving, something I did not do with my other fic because I did thing thinks through with it, now if only I can set a good death scene… ops.

Anyway, I will finish volume two of rwby and then depending the on plot line for Vol 3, I might either drop it, or go my own different way, something I would prefer not to.
