Beauty or a Beast?
~ Yang ~
It has been almost a year since she noticed her. Yang thought she was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. Ever since she laid her eyes upon the black haired beauty, Yang wouldn't stop obsessing over her no matter how hard she tried. And it all started in the library their freshman year.
…
She was trying hard to study for her first semester finals, she was stressing so bad that her head aced and her vision blurred. Her full focus was on the text book in front of her. That's when she came…
"What are you reading?"
Yang snapped her head up to see those beautiful golden eyes. She became dumbstruck and was overwhelmed by the girl in front of her. She didn't even know her mouth was open until she started choking on a fly that flew in.
"U-Um, it's my Metal Making textbook. The final for it is tomorrow and I was just studying." Yang replied after she quickly pulled herself together. "I'm Yang by the way, Yang Xiao Long."
"Blake, Blake Belladonna." Blake replied with a warm smile. "You're Yang Xiao Long the boxer, right?"
"That's me!" Yang said as she cocked her thumb towards herself. "I've never seen you around before, what sport do you play?"
"I'm actually new here; my friend and I are starting next semester, my friend is also a boxer." Blake said with a kind smile before it turned sad. "Unfortunately this school doesn't offer my sport so I'm just taking classes and clubs."
Yang felt a little sad hearing that. "What sport is that?"
"…Parkor…"
"…..Soooooooooooo you're a ninja?" Yang asked jokingly which made Blake laugh. "So what class are you choosing?"
"Creative writing, I like reading books and all and I think it would be nice to write a few." Blake said gaining her smile back.
"So you're a ninja and a writer?" Yang asked raising an eyebrow making Blake laugh again.
"I guess you can say that." Blake then looked at the clock and saw how late it was. "I'm sorry but I have to go, my friend is waiting for me."
"It's cool, I totally understand." Yang said as she waved goodbye. "I think we should hang out like this again some time."
"Like wise." Blake said with a smile before turning and walking out the library.
The following day, Yang took her finals and reregistered for the next semester's classes. However, instead of applying for Metal Making, she applied for Creative Writing.
One week later, all the new boxing members came to practice and Yang got excited. She started asking all the new human males if they were friends with Blake, sadly nobody knew who she was talking about.
However, there was another girl who joined the team, but not just any girl…a faunus.
Yang wasn't racist like the rest of the team, she actually liked them. She actually experienced the bull shit they got from humans every day and admires that they actually had the strength NOT to do anything back. But that story is for another day…
But this faunus was different; she didn't have fangs, ears, or a tail… She had fangs, ears, AND a tail which caused most of the humans to pick on her right away. Her name was Okami Kiba.
That day, Yang practiced with her and got to know her a bit better. They were getting along great and Yang admired how skilled Okami was… Then everything went wrong…
Yang and Okami got on the mat for a practice match, they got over to each other's corner and waited for the bell to ring when Yang saw Blake sitting on a bench watching.
"Now's my chance to show her how good I am!"
The bell rang and Yang charged. Yang was so focused on impressing Blake she didn't really pay attention to what she was doing, the next thing she knew she won the match and Okami was off the mat spitting out blood.
Yang Xiao Long – 1, Okami Kiba – 0.
Soon after, Blake came rushing up to Okami and checked to see if she was okay. That was when Yang learned that Okami was Blake's 'friend' and immediately she was jealous of Okami for how close she was to Blake and Okami hated Yang for breaking three ribs and her nose… And thus the rivalry was born and is what leads us to 8 more victories and 8 defeats later.
….
Even today Yang still likes Blake and tries so hard to get her to notice her, but nothing seems to work.
Yang stayed in the club room for fifteen more minutes before she left with the book Blake gave her. She read it on her way back to the dorms and was glad she came up with that excuse to talk to Blake.
The book was about this boxer and a girl who fell in love with each other, the only problem was that they didn't know that they liked each other back. Throughout the story, they try to make the one they love notice them and think they fail without knowing that they were indeed noticed. In the end, they find out they loved each other the whole time and got married which started to make Yang jealous again…
"If only my situation with Blake was like the situation in this story…"
Yang arrived at her dorm to find that it was empty without her sister and roommate. Yang looked at the clock on her desk and saw it was already 7:30.
"I guess it's already time to take those pills…"
Yang walked over to the bathroom and opened up the medicine cabinet, from there she pulled out a series of different prescription bottles and swallowed a pill from each of them. When she was done, she put them all away and looked in the mirror…
Yang wasn't racist against the faunus, but there were some that she hated. She hated the faunus that did this to her, she hated her parents for what they did because of it, but most of all she hated herself for letting it happen…
People always ask her, "Why are you so strong?" and she would always ignore it out of fear people will shun her again if she told the truth.
As carefully as she could, Yang parted the hair on the very top of her head revealing two tiny stumps that still had some patches or brown fur on them. They were what was left of her bear ears…
Even if Blake does notice her…how can someone possibly fall in love with an test subject?
