CH.6: Family
It's been a couple weeks since we came back after the whole faunus had been going well I was third in terms of grades behind Weiss and Blake meanwhile Yang is barely passing. Blake and I's relationship is going really well we actually found time for a date between mission's and classes along with my horrible sleep schedule. Weiss has been a lot nicer which makes me think she's planning something.
Speaking of Weiss I've been trying to remember where I've seen her before but it's just a blur and that's bothering me. I don't think it will come to me anytime soon though. In my off time I've been training more than I should just to get my semblance to work on multiple people to display the person they care about most as just a projection of them. It's slowly getting there according to my team. Weiss says she see's nothing i get the feeling she's lying. Blake only sees me but Yang and Ruby see each other.
I haven't really been sleeping much mainly because Blake and I are too busy trying track Torchwick from what Ruby told is his name.I've been living off of energy drinks because of this whole thing and Blake is worse off than me. If I can't eventually get her to sleep she's just gonna crash even worse.
"Blake please get some sleep you've been up for 60 hours straight" I plead worried about her health. "I can handle this you need to rest"
"You sure about that you haven't slept much either," she yawns. Well if she won't listen to me maybe Yang can convince her.
"yeah that may be true but at least I've gotten some sleep just to keep my sanity," I sighed. We are both way too stubborn for this. Definitely gonna have to get Yang's help for this.
"That's true but we both know we can't stop until he is captured" she said. I agreed but this is not something to drain yourself over.
"Blake just please take a break and relax with me" I say as I pull her into a hug. She actually agreed for once but I knew that's only because she was running on fumes. "Besides we have sparring matches tomorrow so we need to be ready," I pointed out and she was already asleep.
The next morning went as it usually did I fell out of my bed trying to wake up. Which I'm glad I have pillows on the ground or it would hurt a lot. I got my shower after everyone else cause I'm usually too focused on the game I'm playing on my scroll.
We went and got breakfast with team JNPR. Ive actually become really close friends with Ren cause we are pretty much the same is ways of acting. After we finished our we went to go see who we would be fighting today and that's when I went pale in the face.
"I'm fighting Yang," I gulp in fear. Yang just has a sinister grin on her face. "Please don't break my arm this time Yang,'. She just laughs while I fear for my life.
"I've never seen you so scared before Luke," said Weiss "why is that?"
"Let's just say every time me and yang fight she breaks something of my body cause I keep hitting her hair," I said. "Let's just say I still have the scar from my forearm being out of my skin,"
"Oh well this can't be good" Jaune said. Yeah no shit doesn't help that we fight first. I got get ready for the fight and Blake gives me a hug and says good luck. I'm gonna need it if I'm not gonna die.
I enter the arena and Yang's already there with ember cecilia ready. I pull out lightslinger and just have it ready in ninjato cause if I know Yang she's just gonna charge like she normally does. The buzzer signals the start of the fight and she does exactly what I expected she goes for a haymaker I slide under her punch and roundhouse kick her is the head. She's dazed but that doesn't stop her from throwing more punches which I block with my sword and counter with some slashes.
Both our auras have hit yellow I'm slightly behind her in terms of how much. I feel like I'm gonna win we she unleashes 5 punches to my stomach I hunch over. I forgot how strong she is even without her semblance. She tries to keep the assault going but I go invisible and appear behind her and slash at her back. That was my mistake I just cut her hair I'm gonna die is all I can think.
"Yang please listen to me it was a mista-," I don't even get to finish when a punch sends me flying into a wall. So this is how I die I thought at the hands of my best friend. She keeps pushing me while I'm against the wall I can hear our team yelling for her to stop but she's blinded by rage. One last punch and I'm sent through the wall. After I land Blake comes running to me and her voice is the last thing I hear before I black out.
Its my first solo mission for the white fang and I was ordered to break into the Schnee manor. I knew I was gonna be chosen for this cause of my semblance allowing me to shape shift into others. They already has a worker at the house ready for me to change to and they told me I was one who cares for their youngest daughter.
I arrived at the household ready to spy on them but I ended up seeing more then I wish I did. I was that their youngest daughter would be abused because she was also a faunus but not just any faunus she was also an eagle faunus. This sent questions running through my head.
"Mrs. Schnee are you okay?" I asked actually greatly concerned for her. "Do you need anything?"
"No I'm okay and please call me Weiss I'm not even a real Schnee my real parents left me here but kept my twin brother with them," she said as she started crying. "I just found this out and they hid it from me all these years and only told me cause I want to be a huntress,"
"Do you know you know your actual family name at all?" I asked she nodded "What is it Weiss?"
"No i don't" she said but I started to piece things together in me head she had the same wing color as me and her eyes were red instead of the Schnee blue. Is she my sister was all I could think.
"I may be able to help you find your brother but that's if he even knows about you he may deny it with all his heart if his parents lied to him" I said and that brought a smile to her face
"I would really like that," she said. I forced myself to forget everything from that day expect the info the white fang needed and Weiss probably didn't bother talking about it again.
I just remembered everything I didn't want to remember to because it hurt to much to see my sister that way. I had a sister and I forced myself to forget her some brother I am.
I started waking up to hear yang cursing up a storm while Blake was yelling at her about something and Ruby crying. What the fuck happened is all I can think.I try to move but my entire body hurts.
"Owww what the fuck why do I feel like a train hit me" I groan that makes them all jump. Blake has to hold Yang and Ruby back to keep them from jumping on me. Yang is spewing out apologies. "Uhhh Yang why are you apologizing?' I asked
"Do you not remember what happened in sparring?" She asked. I shake my head nope. "I kinda punched you through a wall and nearly killed you, you were in a coma for 3 days,"
"No wonder my ribs feel broken" I sigh "how many times how I been in a hospital because of you now is this the twentieth time now?"
"Twenty second actually" she said sadly. This is the most guilty I've ever seen her act I must of been real close there I thought.
"Let me guess that's why Blake was scolding you?" I asked she nodded "I kinda figured anyways where is Weiss?"
"She went to go get us food" Blake pointed out. Good thing Weiss is always thinking ahead. "She was actually really worried about you which was strange,"
"Yeah I kinda need to talk to her because Yang knocked me into a coma some memories came back" I explained And Weiss needs to kinda hear this first mainly because it deals with her,"
"That's fine but at least eat first because we are worried about your lack of food" Ruby finally squeaked out. Her eyes were really red. How long has she been crying I thought.
Right as that happened Weiss brought us all lunch. Blake had a tuna sandwich. Ruby had cookies, Yang got a burger, Weiss had a salad,and I got a mini pizza. We talked about what I missed in class which wasn't very much because classes got postponed due to yang destroying two classrooms with my body.
" Hey Weiss can I talk to you for a second?" I asked as they started to leave. Hopefully I can tell her we are related and she doesn't freak out.
"What is it Luke?" She asked with her looking confused. I would be confused to if someone who just woke up from a coma would need to talk to me.
"You remember that one time a servant takes to you about your real family?" I said. "Uhhh how do you know I'm adopted?" she asked. "It was my first solo mission on the White Fang I was asked to sneak in to spy on you guys" I said "My semblance made it perfect for me to do that, while I was there I saw you were a faunus as well"
She went pale "So you saw everything." she asked."why did you just bring this up now" she was pained.
"Didn't you question why I had red eyes and the same color wings as you?" I asked. "Well I kinda did but I just thought your eyes where the semblance" she says as the realization dawns on her she starts to cry "You're my brother" I nod "Finally after all these years I've found you,"
"Its nice to know I still have family left alive even though I never knew I had a sister" I said as I pull her into a hug. "We should probably tell the team" I told her she just nodded as she texted the team asking them to come back to the infirmary in a hurry. "Do you wanna take the contacts off or no?" I ask as she already removed them. "Well let's hope this goes well"
Blake and all of them come back running thinking something bad happened. They just see us talking and end up really confused until they see we both have red eyes.
"Luke did you use your semblance on Weiss' eyes?" Yang asked I just nod my head nope. "Then why are her eyes red?"
"That's a long story but to make it short we are twins" that's when their jaws drop in confusion. "I kinda expected that reaction seeing as She was wearing a Schnee logo all the time but she got left with them at birth at least that's what I've heard only for the second time now" I pointed out.
"So what you're telling us is she got left with the schnee's for a better life but she knew she had a twin and you didn't?" Blake asked
"Pretty much I only found out on that solo mission I had years ago to where I had to sneak into the Schnee manor" I said. "I completely blocked out what happened but yang knocking me out brought back those memories they weren't pretty from what I saw,"
"Ok I'm still really confused if you two are twins are both of you faunus?" Ruby asked. "Because if both your parents where it would be automatically passed on to their children"
"That isn't my question to answer but I do know the answer but this is kinda a touchy subject for Weiss," I said. "So I'll let her tell you this without pointing out the bad thing that's for a different discussion," they just agreed and Weiss started to speak.
"What happened was when we were born our parents where in the White fang as a given but they left me to the Schnee,s Hoping I would have a better life from what the Schnee's told me" Weiss stated "But it wasn't better because every time the White fang would attack I would get abused because I am a faunus myself," The rest of the team was shocked at this.
"I Didn't even know my past until I told my parents I wanted to be a huntress, that's when they admitted I wasn't even a Schnee," Weiss said dejectedly. "I thought they were my real for years, the only one who actually cared about me was my "sister" she would help me cover my wounds,"
"When I found out I had a brother I was really excited cause maybe I could find him" Weiss said as I pull her into a hug. "I guess this is for making up lost time?" I just nod my head yes.
"If is of just help you escape when I actually showed up there I could of save you from that," I said.
"Luke don't worry about it you're here now," Weiss told me. "Well I guess we have two groups of siblings on team RWBY now and Yang please no twin puns," Weiss and I say at the same time. Yang groans knowing she isn't allowed to make a pun.
"Can we head back to the room now I've been cleared to leave, and I would like to finish my essay for Oobleck since we have extra time now," I said and Yang and Ruby went pale. "You completely forgot didn't you, sigh I guess I'll help you then," they both got excited. "But don't expect any help next time"
With that said we want back to our dorm and team JNPR checked on me. I told them I was fine and then they asked why Weiss was smiling. I said let's just talk about that tomorrow that's a discussion for when I'm not tired and have homework. Once I entered the room Ruby and Yang attack me to do their essay for them. After I finished Their essays Weiss and I started to talk more about our parents and I told her everything about them and how caring they were.
"So what did our parents do in the White Fang" she asked me. Straight to the point I guess.
"They were scouts like me, our family had a knack for finding intel," I told her " After they died I was given most of their missions,"
"So they where gonna be the ones in the house and not you if they didn't?" she asked. I never really thought about that.
"To tell you the truth I never thought about that but I'd have to assume yes," I tell her and she smiles "Either way you met your family in the end"
"We should probably sleep cause we have an hour in port's class tomorrow" Weiss says and I just groan "I hate the class as well but it's part of the school requirements, with that said goodnight Luke,"
"Goodnight Weiss," i said as I tried to sleep I eventually gave up on that hope and went to the library to read to try and fall asleep. I couldn't help but think that year was going to well. I tried not to dwell on that and eventually fell asleep in a beanbag the library had.
So the season three teaser came out and i am very hyped. I actually like the idea that Weiss is secretly a faunus and the reason she hates the White fang so much is it makes her father hate her even more. That just my own personal feeling on this. Anyways i hope you guys Liked this chapter and please leave a review.
