(A/N: I've done it again! Wrote another twenty K story! I posted this one though. Anywho, please enjoy and review to help me get better. I can't write third person, so first is all I will ever do, sorry. The inner monologue of everything is how I can get some of the feelings of my main character to flow.)
"What the hell happened?! I was gone for ten minutes!" I shout at the team when I entered just as Blake blurred out of the room. That girl has some speed to her movements.
Ruby looks upset, "Blake accidentally said she was part of the White Fang once while arguing with Weiss about White Fang and just ran away."
"Weiss! Drop the Anti-White Fang shit!" I shout at Weiss, "If it's going to upset a comrade to this point, you drop the subject!"
"Their Pure Evil! Why should I?!" Weiss yelled back. This makes me see red.
I charge faster than she can make out and slam her into the wall by the neck. "The White Fang are not pure evil Weiss. I have seen evil and these... thugs are not it." Inhaling, I come to a decision. "I will show you all pure evil," I growl. Taking out my wand, I draw memories out from Tom and what he does, the murders I have seen and the scum I have killed. I learned the projection spell from an advanced charms book I 'found' in the restricted section. "Watch closely and think about these images and your White Fang. See how the White Fang are nothing."
I flick my wand at the middle of the room, casting the charm. Every memory I have from Voldemort and his men, from birth to the end I throw out. The first was the murder of my mother as a child, the cold laugh of a man as he tried to kill a child. The possession of my defense professor, the basilisk and his soul. The final words from the guardian as I sit on the ground dying from the venom. Peter and his betray, Scar Tom and his death cry while I bleed out, the child rapist and murderer with the news attached. Fourth years resurrection, all the newspapers of mass killings of muggles and my battle at the ministry. Bellatrix striking down Sirius, the sheer effort the people went to kill children. While they start playing, I sprint out of the room to find Blake, easily following her scent.
I follow the scent to the docks and it stops. Shit she took the last ride out! I could go after her, but I don't know where in the city she would go. The ships vary at times of day where they come out. Sighing at my failure, I go back to the room at a slow pace. I get back into the room as they see Sirius get killed by Bellatrix and my charge at her. With a flick of my wand, I cancel the memory as I began to latch my mouth on her throat to kill her, my scream of hatred echoing the room as the memory cuts.
"Now, answer me this Weiss, has your White Fang and their troops done anything like this to people? Seek out and try to kill children, randomly torture innocents for fun?" My voice startles them out of a daze.
"N-no."
"Well now you know what could be happening." Rubbing my eyes, I tell them. "Blake is gone, she got to the last ride out and is probably deep in the city by now. I'm going to sleep." I may not need it, but it is a good way to relax and organize my thoughts. Also a little meditation for my new form. The fog is thick, but is getting thinner.
We spend the next day looking for her after school. I catch bits of her scent here and there, but never can tell where she is. She covers her tracks well. I keep my jacket off, so if her scent is on it, it doesn't through me off. I split from the team as they search as Weiss was starting to get on my nerves with her constant prattling about the White Fang and how we had one of their numbers in our mix. I somehow end up near the docks for cargo after following an old scent trail, which cut off outside the storage area. I was about to leave her I hear a series of gunshots.
Oh please no. Running towards the noise, I arrive to see the monkey boy showing some impressive moves against Torchwick. I look at the thugs moaning on the ground, White Fang. Shit, if they are working for this lunatic, this is going to escalate fast to all out war with humans on one side and Faunus on the other!
I charge at the fight, pulling my blade out as I see Blake jump in. At least I found her. She knocks Torchwick away and he shoots a crate above them. I see them dive out the way, so I continue my charge. Torchwick turns and smirks at me. He raises his free hand into a finger gun and simulates it firing. What? BANG!
I feel a high-caliber round blow through the side of my stomach and sends me to the ground. The bastard had sniper cover! I hear Ruby yell out from faraway, but all I can do is climb to my hands and knees. This takes some time as the bullet chipped my spine, so I have to let my bones heal before I can get up. When they final due, I am able to stagger to my feet. Next thing I know, gunships are coming in and I am not fully healed with mobility yet! The guns lower and start firing in front of me. This is going to suck! I try to crawl to cover, but it didn't help.
I take fourteen rounds in total. Losing one of my arms and both my legs from the hits, along with I think the rest of my stomach and the lower half of my left lung. Breathing heavily and painfully, I lay on my back to keep my parts in. My vision darkening. "acci- accio thug!" I call out, willing my magic to work. I see the closest one twitch, but nothing.
"C'mo- ng! Accio Thug!" I reach towards one and he slides a little closer. A green beam flies over my head and I hear a ripping sound of metal. I focus most of my magic and cry out desperately, "Accio White Fang Thug!" He flies over and rolls to a stop at my side. Moaning as his body is dragged across the asphalt.
I fall onto his neck like a rabid dog and drain him in seconds. Enough for one of leg and magic to keep me going. Bunching my aura into my leg, I hear an explosion as I lunge towards the nearest blood source. Falling to that, I regenerate another leg and enough magic again to keep me going as well as recreate some of my innards.
Luckily, I find a group of three moaning soldiers nearby and I drain all of them. Thank god for my teams no kill mentality for these living food donors. I get my limbs back, fixed my lung, most of my stomach and some of my magic. Relieves that I will last another day, I barely heard Blake calling me as I fell to the darkness. Man, I bet Torchwick got away too.
The next time I wake up, I feel myself lying on crates with the taste of fresh blood in my mouth. That can't be right, I feel stiff enough to have been out for an hour. Blood is like milk, tastes good for a bit, but you will need a breath-mint after about a half an hour. Cracking my eyes, I see police around me and above me is Blake. Still too weak to get up, I shift to let her know I'm awake. She seems to have a lot of my blood on her, I guess she carried me. "Sirius, are you okay?"
"Peachy. If getting blown apart means I get to wake up in your lap, I should do it more often," I weakly flirt. I hurt everywhere. "I think I'll keep with bombs though, less dismemberment throughout the whole body."
She softly slaps my head, "Don't let it happen again, it worries us when you loss limbs!" She withdraws her arm, but I reach up and stop caught my attention. Bringing her arm to the front of me, I see some blood on her wrist, but not hand. It all starts in a line.
This scares me. "Did you give me any of your blood again Blake?"
"Ye-Yeah, you were hurt so bad, I thought you got better from drinking blood?! Did I do something wrong?"
"No, but please, Please! Don't ever feed me when I am unconscious. I may have great self-control, but asleep I have no power over my instincts. … Thank you for your concern though," I tell her, squeezing her arm before letting it go.
I see her smirk as I relax back. I won't be standing anytime soon. Hearing feet crunching on gravel, I see Weiss making her way over to us with Yang to the side. Ruby tries to intercept her, but is ignored. All I understood from what she said is that Blake's ears are cute. That they are.
When she stops in front of us, Blake tries to defend herself, "Weiss, I want you to know I am no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was wi-"
"Stop," Weiss interrupts. "Do you have any idea how long we have been searching for you? Twelve Hours! That means I had twelve hours to think about this! And in that twelve hours, I decided... I don't care!" Yay, no more fighting over this.
"You don't care?"
"You said you're not one of them, right?" Blake once more tried to explain, but she is interrupted again, "apapaup! I don't want to hear it! All I want to know is next time something this big comes up, you come to your team mates! And not some... one else." She tosses a glance to the side, where I see Monkey boy sitting.
"Monkey boy! You feeling the love in the air?!" I call over to him. Successfully ruining the moment.
"Shut up man... you look comfortable," He says, wiggling his eyebrows.
"If I could move my legs, I would rip those eyebrows off your face! As it stands," I give him the finger. "Help me sit up if you would Blake."
After a little struggle, I manage to sit up and have my legs dangle off the crates. Blake gets up and stretches her legs by walking around. "So, Monkey boy. Nice moves you got there. Saw your exchange with Torchwick."
"Thanks... Nice... ability to take a bullet," he responds to my praise. Looking over my bloody self.
Chuckling, I say back to him, "Yeah, regenerating limbs is a grand ability. If I didn't have it, I'd be missing all my limbs and... my boys." I have to shiver as I remember that faithful night.
"You got shot in the nuts man! Oh geez!"
"Yeah, that was not a good day for me. The guy was kind enough to give me about a gallon of his blood as an apology. Well, name's Sirius, you?"
"Sun."
As the girls bond, I speak with Sun about the upcoming tournament. "So, you entering alone or is their a team waiting for you?"
"Alone. We all have to fight whomever name is picked from a hat along with ours. You entering I assume?"
"Yeah. I find fighting Grimm boring. Hell, the last pack of beowolves I fought, it was out of anger for the disrespect they showed me more than anything else. I hope to fight some trained humans, not some two bit thugs at some club." I went out into the Emerald forest for grimm bounty jobs, nothing big, just a pack here or two or a large and threatening grimm.
"You got caught in one of Torchwick's clubs did you? Same here. They dress so nice, but they suck at fighting! Now, there are these two hot chicks that came out to fight me after I beat up some of the people. They were okay at fighting, worked well together too."
"Twins? Straight black hair? Nice bodies with one white, other red?" He nods. "I saw them! I had just killed everyone in the club, then they walk in and puke at the sight!" Chuckling, I continue, "Didn't say a word, just ran back the way they came." Only reason I remember is the mind arts... and it was funny.
We share a laugh as the girls look for something. "So... You're a wolf Faunus?"
"I don't know. I mean, I was human a few months ago, but when I unlocked my aura, I became this."
"I didn't know aura did that? Everyone I know is born this way."
"I seem to be a medical mystery. Doctor thinks I could have had some dormant traits and they surfaced with my aura."
"Wow... That sucks for you. Being a Faunus is tough and growing up as a human, I can't imagine the change into one."
"Eh, I can beat the shit out of most things... Well, unless I take a surprise bullet to the gut. People will just learn not to be racist around me. Already have a rep around school, so I'm good there." I can't help but shrug. "Plus I have a back up if I need to be human."
"How did you get this untouchable rep?" The guy laughs. The name suggests eastern descent, but his accent screams American. I don't get this world.
"Tore the head off a boar grimm with my hands," I say with a smirk. "The teacher I think was a little pissed. Must be hard to capture a grimm and get it into a school unnoticed by the student body."
"..." The monkey faunas just stares at me. "You... ripped the head off a boar..."
"Yep! It was surprisingly easy with the proper grip and leverage. You didn't really catch me at my best, with the whole gun shot taking me out before I could fight."
"Whatever man. Anyways, I got to go and get more ammunition for my staff. Cya at the tournament." I wave bye as he hops off the crates, wave at the girls and walked away. I don't think he believes me. In the time it took to talk, I gained a little strength back, so I unsteadily walk over to the girls.
"I'll see you all back at the room, I need to get some sleep." I apperate back immediately and fall into my corner, curling up like a dog. I fall into my mindscape for some reason and find myself once more in the mist.
Curious on why I am here and not in some nightmare from my past, I walk around until I here a howl behind me. Directly behind me. Spinning around, I see a black Timber wolf up to my upper stomach standing behind me, staring with golden eyes. "Um, Hello there!" The thing is huge, at least seven hundred pounds of muscle.
The wolf barks and lunges. My awareness is pulled into the wolf and I am soon seeing out of its eyes. I just feel as the body moves on its own and watch as the wolf runs around my mindscape. It shifts into a forest and I feel very content there. I watch the wolf jump and sprint through the forest floor. The feeling I memorize and soon, the wolf lets me try to continue the journey. I stumble for a few minutes, but instinct leads me to taking the right steps and soon muscle memory starts and I am jumping like the wolf if a little slower.
Can't slam into a tree on my first outing now can I? There is a shift in light and I slam into the wall next to me with my snout. Wait... Snout? Whimpering, I lay on the ground and look down at myself. I see I am still a wolf. Giving a bark of joy. I focus on my faunas body and I feel myself shift.
I do it a few more times until I fully understand how to do it and can get it down in a second. Thank you stupidity for my training! I stay as a wolf and flop back down in my corner. I think I'll call myself... Snuffles. Snuffles the Timber wolf. No intimidation factor at all!
A shriek wakes me once more and I scramble to my paws and slam into the same wall again. OW! Once more whimpering on the floor, I cover my snout with my paws and try to get the pain to go away. DAMMIT! What are these walls made of?! Reinforced steel plaster?!
"There's a wolf in the room!" I hear the unsheathing of a blade. Oh shit, going to get stabbed by my team!
Shifting back, I swing around and hold out my hands to get them to stop. "WAIT! It's just me! Sirius! Your teammate!" The blade that was going dangerously close to my groin stops all movement. I see the blade is Weiss's rapier. "O-oh g-gods! You almost cut my boys off!"
They all just stare at me wide-eyed. "How did you do that?!" Weiss finally starts the conversation which is going to give me a headache. I really should have thought of this before going to sleep as a wolf.
"Magic!" I do the cantrip with a silly grin. The blade moves a little closer. Shit! back it up! "Uh! No really! Magic, it is something called animagus! It's a branch of transfiguration when you can shift into your spirit animal! I guess I unlocked it or something last night! Please don't stab me!"
I shift into a wolf and give her the puppy eyes that Padfoot would always use on Mrs. Weasley. She tries to resist, but there was no stopping the Snuffles! She groans and puts away the sword and I let my tongue hang out in a goofy grin.
"Okay Wolf Boy! We got to get to class in an hour. That means we got to get some breakfast, so c'mon." She strolls out of the room. Ruby follows and I trot out after the two girls. I hear Yang and Blake bringing up the rear.
On the way to the cafeteria, team JNPR joins in the walk, all looking at me. Nora zips over and immediately asks me, "Can I ride you?!" She looks so happy at this that I couldn't say no. I hear my team trying to hide their chuckles, well all but Yang. She is openly laughing.
I lie down and give her a bark. She mounts my back and I stand up, she gripping the nape of my neck so she doesn't fall. I catch the eye of Ruby and give her a wink. Smirking only like a dog can do, I take off and the area at blurred speed. Nora laughing like a loon the entire time.
After a minute of running, I step up back to my place and bark to let them know to continue walking. Nora still laughing on my back. We start to the cafeteria again. Just as we make it there, I shift back and make sure to catch Nora before she falls off my back.
"Cool! You're a doggy!" Nora cries into my ear from her position. I gentle let her down as I walk and rub my ear she yelled in. Damn that is a loud voice!
"Yep, now to get food!" I don't break stride as I make my way into the food hall and get my eggs and thick cut bacon. I take my plate to our table and eat the food quickly as everyone interrogates Blake on where she was. She just tells them she had some personal issues to work through.
Munching on my death meat, I watch the interrogation back and forth. Looking at the time as the conversation ends, I see we have only five minutes until class. "Haha! Good luck getting to class everyone!" I cry as I take Yang's and Blake's arm, popping to the class in our usual seats.
The two girls bend over in illness as I rub their backs to help them feel a little better. "It may suck, but it is a small price for instant travel." The two just shakily nod and take their seats as people start streaming in.
As the bell rings, the others dive into the class room and land in a pile. Ruby lands on Weiss in a compromising position, while JNPR all crash on each other with Nora dancing on top of Ren. That poor man. Weiss yells up to where I am sitting between gasps of breath after pushing Ruby off who is red in the face, "Dammit Sirius, you could have told us we were going to be late!" I just rock back and forth in my seat, trying to hold in my laughter. I see Yang doing the same. The professor tells the group to take their seat so he can start the lesson.
The rest of my team sits down in a huff next to Blake as I am in between the two girls I brought. I know what would happen if Ruby got the chance to sit next to me. The innocent little girl could through a punch equal to Yang when she is mad.
The lesson is on the weaknesses of the boar grimm I killed. Apparently, the head and neck are the worst places to hit as they are the thickest areas of the boar. "Don't go off what Mr. Potter did, these areas are mostly impossible to cut thanks to the boarbatusks charging into trees and each other all their lives. What you aim for is the underbelly, why when I was still adventuring..." It kind of went from there into this weird twist of a cave dive into the unknown with weregrimms and giant snake grimms, King Taijitus, roamed the undercity of Cavoria. It was entertaining if not believable in the slightest.
The days leading up to the tournament I spent going to lessons, sparing with Blake and Yang to get better at fighting. I start incorporating stunners in my fights with my hands, so I usually win by a lucky hit due to the surprise attacks, but Yang is catching on and is always ready to dodge a random attack.
A useful tidbit I learned while fighting is that aura, when projected around the body, is resistant to my magic to a degree. It takes the edge off spells meant to stun and force the people to do things, like dance.
Ruby and Weiss practice as well, their differences in fighting helps them both advance in their selected styles. The day before the tournament, I walk into the room after a painful session with Yang and saw the two girls making out on Ruby's bed. The both whip around and look at me like deer in headlights. "I saw nothing, Yang will be back in three minutes so straighten up from your... Sparring session." I grab the clean clothes from my area of the room and go to change.
The two getting together is not surprising in the least. If you look at the hints, Ruby was crushing hard on the white princess. Weiss I noticed, would blush when she looked at Ruby sometimes in class. I think the rest of the team sees it as well. Blake at least because she can probably smell the hormones from the two girls.
Plus she likes those smutty romance novels, so she probably sees love when there isn't any sometimes. I read one and almost got a nose bleed seven pages in.
After showering and changing, I head back to the room and knock this time. Hearing the all clear, I enter and flop down on the floor for the night after changing into a wolf. I need some sleep if I will do good in the tournament tomorrow, so the floor is most comfortable as an animal. I drag a little blanket I got over my body with my teeth and fall asleep. Dreaming of the tournament for tomorrow and what the prize could be. My animistic mindset at the moment hopes it is a life-time supply of juicy deer meat.
Yeah... here's another. The pairing ball is rolling it's way into the story! The animagus will remain a mystery for a bit as no one knows the reason for the sudden shift. Harry can guess, but it will not be concrete. Hope you like this chapter! Thanks for reviewing so many and the follow/favorites!
