Okay I just wanted to start this off with a huge sorry to all of you, sorry for being gone for so long. It was a mixture of laziness, new games coming out, me doubting my own story and writers block that kept me from writing. I will promise to try and get my shit together, oh and earlier someone said they were worried about this turning into an OCxHarem story. I just want to say that I had just planned on my oc being with Ruby and Weiss alone, but if that is considered a Harem then I'll change things up a bit. Anyway without further delay!

Here we go!

Chapter 5

One Step Closer

Anger can be a problem, but it has tremendous potential, too. It's just figuring out what to do with it

Gabriel walked inside his room and collapsed onto the bed, his attention turning to both the girls he had feelings for. He wanted both of them and yet he knew things werent going to be that simple or easy. Eventually he'd have to tell both of them and not separately either, but both of them at the same time or else he'd risk making things worse.

The teen looked out the window then said as he turned to his thoughts."The moon is barely rising...their probably still awake...just ask them to meet you on the roof, explain jow you feel to both of them. It should be fine...right? Just type the messages then wait on the- ow! What the hell?"

Ripped from his thoughts by a burning sensation on the back of his neck he stood up and quickly went to the bathroom. Once inside he pulled the front of his shirt down to get a good look at his neck, what he saw surprised him. The seal was growing but this time it was slowly moving from the back of his neck to his throat.

The burning sensation slowly worsened till it felt like someone had dumped oil on and around his neck. He bit his bottom lip and gripped the sink as he forced himself to not make a sound, the metallic taste of his blood assaulting his taste buds.

Once it was done growing it pulsed a few more times before it stopped and the pain along with it "damn it all..." He groaned as he stared at the tattoo which was now in a collar like pattern around his neck. The tired expression on his face slowly hardened till he was glaring at himself, anger slowly bubbled up inside him to the point where he almost shattered the mirror.

After calming fown he returned to his bed and sat down with his scroll in hand. He grew nervous while his fingers hovered over the screen, if it backfired on him he wouldnt know what to do yet if he left things as they were?

The young lord quickly typed the messages out for each girl then after sending them he stood and left his room. His hands were shaking and he was even starting to sweat slightly from how nervous he was growing. The clicking sound of a doorknob opening made him flinch and look at the new occupant.

There they were, both of them. The resident Ice Queen and Reaper, his heart fluttered once Ruby ran forward and hugged him with her arms around his neck. One look back at Weiss had him fighting the urge to flinch at the stabbing pain in his chest.

Gabriel gave Ruby a quick kiss before stepping back from her and taking a deep breath "okay...look I have something to say, to both of you." He started as he looked both of the girls. First Weiss, then to Ruby.

"Ruby...when on that first date ill be honest I didn't know if what I felt for you was a crush pr the real thing, but now I know. I love you though there is something I have to say to Weiss- or well the both of you." He looked down at his feet before steeling himself to continue.

"I have feelings for Weiss as well..." He admitted with a bowed head. He expected to hear them shout or scream then followed by slapping him then leaving, but as he looked back up he saw the wide eyed and the jaw dropped. They were just plain old stunned and before they could even start yelling he continued on.

"Rubes, every minute im with you. Hell every second I just know that im with you makes me happy and fills me with warmth...but whenever I see Weiss after we've been together for a little bit, that feeling is replaced with pain and guilt." He saw Weiss slowly recover then walk towards him slowly.

Once the heiress was standing in front of him she gave a small smile, a part of Gabriel lept for joy as he hoped things would work out. That part was quickly put down as he felt a hard slap connect with the right side of his face, just enough to make his head follow her hand.

What surprised him the most about the slap was that it wasn't Weiss that did it, Ruby had used her semblance which was why he didn't see it coming. When he recovered and looked at Weiss he saw that her own hand was raised, she WAS going to slap him but Ruby beat her to it.

He looked at the two in shock but it quickly disappeared as Weiss started to speak, Ruby was glaring at him with tears brimming at her eyes. "Your a pig you know that? You could've been happy with Ruby but no you decided you wanted another girl for your urges." Weiss snapped as she jabbed a finger into his chest.

Gabriel looked down at the ground when she first started talking "your wrong...I said I had feelings for you and that I loved Ruby. Every time I'd see you whether in class or in the halls I always felt...I dont know sad..." He mumbled in his defense.

"Just shut up...the more you speak the more I feel like puking." Weiss snapped harshly before grabbing Ruby's hand and leading her back to the door. "I hate you...Weiss was right about you." The little reaper said weakly before the she closed the door behind her.

Gabriel stood there for what see me like hours before he turned around and looked up at the moon, he felt no tears come out of his eyes but on the inside? He was a complete mess, his heart felt hollow, in the back of his head he was laughing at himself for thinking the situation could've been better.

The tattoo burned as he felt anger and pain flood through his veins to every inch of his body, not noticing the green electricity started to coil around his body like a snake. His chest started heaving his hands clenched into fists so hard they dug into his skin and drew blood. Finally after a few minutes of staying like that he turned and walked to the door but only made it two steps be for turning around to unleash a rage filled scream. The electricity he had been storing up unintentionally suddenly discharging itself in a small radial blast.

He stood there panting for a few more seconds then turned to retreat back to his dorm for another night of restless sleep. Before he could make it to the door his throat suddenly tightened and once again felt like acid around his neck. The pain eventually overwhelmed his senses and he passed out on the roof.

-Next Morning-

Gabriel walked into class and sat in his chair with a scowl on his face, obviously not in a very good mood. Everyone steered clear of him except for a certain blonde who was walking past his back to get to her seat, without warning she suddenly slammed her fist into his right side. Gabriel had been expecting her to hit him so he flared his aura to get a little extra defense, but the strength she put behind it was enough to knock him from his chair and to the ground.

He pushed himself up to his feet then glared at Yang who was already in front of him, but instead of hitting him again she gripped him by the collar of his jacket. Her eyes flashed red and her hair lighting up "Im gonna castrate you and beat the shit outa you for making my sister cry!" She yelled at him. The students that hadn't noticed just yet were looking towards them now "fuck off." Gabriel growled in response.

Yang cocked a fist back and aimed to break his nose but before her fist connected he moved his head to the side while bringing his knee up. Dodging the punch and slamming his knee into her gut though she didn't go down, but instead swung to punch him again. A pain in his throat caused him to freeze for a few seconds which in turn resulted in him receiving a blow straight to his chest, sending him flying back into a wall.

Jaune sprinted forward and placed himself between the two "hey! Thats enough! Yang, cool it!" He warned as he pointed a finger at Yang. Nora and Ren wet already attempting to pry Gabriel oh of the small crater his body had made while Pyrrah joined Jaune.

"Fuck you Arc! He broke my sisters heart! He deserves this and more!" The brawler screamed as she advanced towards Jaune. "Enough!" A voice rang out across the room before Yang was thrown backwards and pinned against the opposite side of the room. Goodwitch had a deep frown on her lips along with a glare which made every other student immediately return to their seats.

"Both of you to Ozpin's office immediately!" She ordered.

Gabriel had since been pulled off the wall and was dusting himself off "thanks guys...no excuse me I have a date with detention." He said walking to the door. Yang followed shortly after Goodwitch made her promos not to attack him till they at least got to the office.

The walk there was painfully long and full of awkwardness which was broken by Yang who once again tried to knock his lights out. This time however he stepped back to avoid the punch which would have probably damn near taken his head off.

"I won't ask forgiveness, I paid and am still paying for my hormone driven, selfish act. I was wrong to expect a good outcome of telling them both." Gabriel stared down at his shoes as he spoke, shame etched into every word.

"You know your pretty dumb for someone with such high grades...this is the real world Gabe, you must have suspected things wouldn't go how you wanted it too...and stay away from my sister. You caused enough." With that said Yang turned and left him there.

Gabriel felt moisture at his eyes that made him wipe it away vigorously until the skin around his eyes was red. "im not gonna cry...I'm not weak." He steeled himself and resumed walking.

-Later That Day-

Gabriel growled under his breath as he walked towards launching pads near the forest "I just want a normal life and I got what I wanted alright...more pain as a side dish as well. I just made a mess of things here!" He shouted.

Yang had been spared of punishment at the cost of Gabriel taking all th blame, it was his fault and she was just acting appropriately to his mistake.

He stared out at the forest with a blank expression, his eyes had faded to look...hollow and as he stared at the forest. Admiring the beauty of it despite the hidden beasts inside of it. After a few seconds of staring he closed his eyes.

Letting himself slip into his mind where he once again heard the voices.

"Its better to feel nothing... that especially goes for you, since you are nothing."

"Outside this place? You don't need to know, all you need to know is that you have no place anywhere but here."

"You are weak! How many times do I have to say it!? At the littlest insult you cry! All you do is cry, if you were never born..."

"Care about you? I care about the Azarox name, not you...you are a tool, nothing more."

Gabriel opened his eyes once more and felt tears freely flow from his eyes, sobs didn't come from his mouth next, but laughter. He sank to his knees, laughing.

"You were right you...I don't belong anywhere...it might be what happened with them. I might forget about this by tomorrow...hopefully. .." The teen chuckled at how he must've looked, on his knees feeling sorry for himself.

Once his tears dried he stood up wiping his eyes a few times to make sure it wasn't obvious he had been crying. A final look across the tops of the trees was all he allowed himself before walking back to the school.

Little did he know that someone had stumbled upon his little moment, a couple rose petals lay on the ground not too far from where he had been kneeling, and of course he didn't notice.

-That Night-

"Ruby why are you following him? I thought you hated him!?" Yang hissed at her younger sister aa she followed her, the other two members of their team following as well. Their target silently made his way towards the entrance of the school and walked out after a quick glance at his surroundings, RWBY hid themselves quickly around a corner to avoid his gaze.

They had their pajamas on while Gabriel was wearing his combat gear and sword.

"I-I do hate him...n-no, I don't! I mean...just shut it!" The reaper snapped at her elder then dashed around the corner to follow after him. When the rest of her team joined she was listening intently to the conversation he was having on his scroll.

"just let my despair flow out huh? Yeah I know alot of them will show up and the school might send some to try and help, but i'll be fine. I'm gonna force this damn seal to break."

Ruby was just about to stand and ask what he was doing but a pull on her arm made her look back at Yang who was grabbing onto her arm "come on that's enough...no reason for us to even be here honestly." She said, using her superior strength to pull Ruby away. Weiss who was half asleep nodding in agreement as she started to follow, Blake watched for a few more seconds then decided to follow.

Ruby watched Gabriel stare up at the moon till her sister pulled her inside so the could resume their sleep.

The young lord turned to see a dark figure leaning against the very tree Ruby and her friends were hiding behind "Maurice...so what brings you to my school?" He asked the figure with a welcoming smile. The figure stepped into the moonlight slowly as they spoke "Mortal...Moral Support." He was about the same age as Gabriel with shoulder length jet black hair, a brown colored skin and black colored eyes. His clothes were hidden underneath a cloak that covered the rest of his body.

"Good to see you pal, still can't grasp the language to well yet huh?." Gabe asked with a small grin which turned into a full blown smile "how's the other two doing? Good?" He asked.

Maurice rolled his eyes with a blank expression on his face, showing Gabriel his middle finger then stood onto a launch pad and pulling out his scroll. After typing for a minute he held the screen out for Gabriel to read "ah so Eli needs help with a song...Arun...is in jail? For wha-...oooh I see." The lord hummed. He stood on a platform the same as his black-clad friend and pulled out his scroll "God you gotta work on your language skills..." He added then with a push of a button he sent the two of the soaring through the air to the dark forest below.

"Okay moral support! Any ideas on how I can try and 'bring out my full potential?'" Gabriel yelled over the howling wind.

Maurice looked over at him and with an evil smirk he just shrugged his shoulders before disappearing into the trees.

Gabriel drew his swords and sliced into several trees to slow his descent till he was slowed enough, then he hit the ground with only a dull ache in his ankles which quickly disappeared. He looked around then sheathed his sword and jogged forward till he spotted a clearing which he ran to the center of. On the way he he heard plenty of Grim following him and now it looks like he didn't have to do anything but wait for the whole gang to show up.

He knelt down and placed his sword just in front of him before closing his eyes to concentrate "okay...think! How do I force this power out...anger? Fear? Sadness?" He racked his brain to try and think of different ways. Nothing helped him, effectively anyway.

After about a minute or so he opened his eyes just as a Beowulf rushed him with its jaws wide open and primed to bite the hunters he a off. With a flash of green light Gabriel stood on thw other side of it, sheathing the blade till it clicked.

The creature then splattered into dozens of pieces, its black blood showering the ground and hunter alike.

"Who's next?" He challenged as he pointed his blade at the creatures surrounding him.

Maurice stretched out his arms and got comfortable from the tree he was hiding in, despite Gabriel being outnumbered he was sure that he'd be waiting quite a while.

A loud cry of pain woke the black clad teen from his nap and turned his attention to the fight below.

Gabriel was covered in wounds and black blood, scattered and dissipating body parts surrounding him. Along with the Beowulf that had gotten lucky and chomped down onto his shoulder. Teeth digging into flesh.

Maurice hummed as he rolled his shoulders a few times and pulled out his notebook along with a drawing pencil.

Gabriel panted heavily as the Beowulf ground its teeth into his skin, blood flowing freely from the wound. From the sheer amount of blood loss his vision slowly blurred, his already heavy body seemed even heavier.

As he slowly sunk to his knees his eyes closed but instead of blackness he was once again greeted to the sight of a familiar hallway.

First Person POV

Here again huh? Damn it...I'm about to bite it because of a few lucky hits and my own carelessness...ack! That banging...that screaming. I gotta run away, run! What? My body won't move...my wounds...

As I look at body all of my wounds from before are there, the pain as well, for the first time since being in this hell, I feel the pain.

LOOK AT YOU SQUIRM...LOOK AT YOU WRITHE WITH FEAR

Shut up...

OBEY ME...YOU CANT WIELD THIS POWER, BETTER IF YOU WEREN'T BORN. SOMEONE WORTHY WOULD'VE RECEIVED IT INSTEAD.

Shut the hell up! What is this!? Leave me alone...all I want-

TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE? HA! A LORD NOT WANTING TO HAVE THE POWER? YOU REALLY ARE A SELFISH WEAKLING.

...

YOU REALLY ARE WEAK

Whatever...whoever this voice, it's right...my father, the servants, the whole town, ALL of them...thought I was weak so they either used me because of it. Or ridiculed me because of it.

THOSE GIRLS YOU SEEMED TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR...MAYBE YOU COULDN'T GET BOTH BECAUSE THEY PREFER THE STRONG. YOU KNOW?

The more it spoke the more my anger grew, I wanted it to shut up...I'm tired of always being told what to do, I AM weak...but sure as hell doesn't mean that I couldn't get stronger. As my rage bubbled to the surface I felt power rush into my veins, my wounds disappearing and the fear that had taken root in my heart started to fade.

Shut up...

OH YOU FINALLY GROW A PAIR? THATS RICH...NOW I HA-

I said...SHUT UP! I screamed as I turned and swung my fist at the voice only to find the wooden door that had always followed me, chased me and haunted me. The fear was gone now, replaced with pure rage. My fist connected with the door and I could feel a sense of relief wash over my body, like some weight had been lifted off of me.

OH? NOT TOO SHABBY...I'LL HELP YOU OUT THIS ONE TIME...KID...

Third Person POV

Maurice was full on sprinting to the clearing while cursing how long it took him to take action, he had hoped Gabriel wouldn't have needed his help and now he'd be lucky if he could even save the green haired hunter. He was about to charge in when lightning erupted from the teens body, the force shooting the Beowulf from his shoulder along with all the others that were about to take a bite out of him as well.

Power radiated of of his body along with steam that poured from his wounds, his eyes shone a bright green color along with his hair as he looked around at the Grimm who were on their feet. A smirk slowly spread across his lips as he retrieved his weapon then shot forward with such force that it broke the ground underneath him.

Maurice blinked his eyes a few times to confirm what he was actually seeing but after he was done all the Grim were splattered across the ground in several body parts, their black blood showering the area.

Maurice ran forward towards his friend but stopped once he felt the ground shake and more howls in the distance "Game time!" Gabriel yelled which made the black covered teen tense slightly before grinning. He ran to Gabriel's side then pulled two slightly curved swords from underneath his cloak before throwing the fabric to the side all together. He had black slim armor on his legs and torso with a black sun emblem on his back "Game, start?" He asked which made Gabriel laugh "funny how that's one of the only things you can say in a language I understand...but hell yeah let's do it." He agreed.

Dozens more Beowulfs flooded into the clearing along with a Deathstalker. The creatures quickly surrounded the two of them but the blood thirsty grins on their faces didn't fade in the least, if anything they grew in intensity. After a few silent seconds the Deathstalker screeched then slammed its pincers into the ground which started off the battle, the Beowulfs surged forward while Gabriel went straight for the big guy.

Maurice twirled his swords into a reverse grip then ran towards the first few Grim that got close enough to him, going to his knees he slid past them while cutting their legs clean off. Once he got back up to his feet he quickly cut down every other Grim till one got a lucky hit one him but it bounced off his chest armor, he jumped backwards then rolled his shoulders a few times before tossing his swords up into the air.

The handles extended, one of the blades remained straight while the other turned so it was like a scythe, then he reached out and grabbed the handles before slamming the two ends together. They locked into place and he spun the weapon around his body before stabbing the straight-bladed end into the ground, his hand moved his hair form his eyes before he sprinted forward again.

-A Hour Later-

Gabriel laid on the ground next to Maurice while they both panted heavily "I can't move...you might have to carry me ba-OW! You mother fucker...ooooh ow." The green hunter curled up into a ball from the blow the other had delivered to the spot between his legs. A high pitched noise coming from Gabriel's mouth as he started to roll around on the ground, bumping into the fading bodies of the many killed grim while also smearing their black blood onto his body.

Maurice let out a loud laugh before standing up and helping his friend to his get a knee to his crotch, making him let out high pitched noise similar to Gabriel's "paybacks a...oooh god that hurts...paybacks a bitch isn't it?" The green haired teen growled as he limped away.

"Mary wipe that look off your face..." Gabriel said as he swung his sword to get the blood off of it then picked up the sheath, the other walked over after breaking out of the daze he was in.

Maurice followed after he had recovered enough and looked at the tattoos on his friend, they seemed to have faded slightly but other than that they were the same. A smile spreading across his lips while he continued to follow.

Once they were at the school both of them went their separate ways but agreed to meet up later to catch up since it was long overdue.

One the way to his dorm he actually felt someone following him though because of the fight from earlier he didn't feel like bothering with whoever it was. He just wanted to get to his room, shower and finally get to sleep. He did stop just as he opened his door to quickly look to the right, a flurry of rose petals was all that he saw but that was enough to make him grit his teeth.

"I thought she said she hated me...ugh this is so stressing..." He growled mentally before walking into his room and shutting the door behind him.

Okay so another sorry for the half-assed fight scene along with the description, and I promise that I will try and do better for you guys.
