Apex Predator


Common : Holy crap it's finally done.

Ken : Well finally you're back.

Ruby : Heyyy sup guys, what happened in the last chapter by the way? I can't read it for some reason, it's censored whenever I try to read it.

Blake : Ruby I think it'd be better that you don't ever know what happened last chapter.

Ruby : Whyyyyyy (Pouts)

Ken : Because Ruby...because.

Ruby : Because what?!

Common : Reasons.

Ruby : What's that suppose to mean?!

Yang : My sweat little sister, it's best we leave it at that.

Ruby : You guys are mean.

Weiss : We're only telling you this for your own good Ruby, after all last chapter was pretty...inappropriate. (Looks at Common)

Common : Don't look at me, it's part of the story. I'm trying my best to try and lessen the plot armor that most characters have in this story.

Weiss : Are you trying to say that you're trying to make this story for it to be entirely possible for anyone to die.

Common : Maybe?

Blake : Guys not in front of Ruby.

Ruby : (Yang covering Ruby's ears) Not what in front of me?

Ken : Nothing just forget it.

Ruby : Oh My Oum, you guys are so mean.

Ken : Let's start the chapter.

Common/Disclaimer : I'll do it, I do not own the RWBY series. I only own my own original content and Ocs, RWBY is currently own by Rooster Teeth and it it's respective owners.

Ken : Enjoyyyyyyy.

Ruby : Fine I'll read it here so I can find out what happened.

(Ruby gets dragged to the rated T room)

Ken : Sorry Ruby, it's for your own good (Closes and locks door)

Ruby : (Through the door) I swear you guys are the meanest!

Chapter 26 : Regrets

Days has passed, the Academy school of Beacon was facing a time of grief. Many students were present today for their fallen comrades, the weather only matching their sorrow. It poured heavily around the school, with a mixture of thunder and wind. Some wearing clothing of black and white, some wearing their school uniform and others wearing their casual armor or outfits. From a higher view point many can be seen gathered in one area with umbrellas everywhere, some wore raincoats against the rain but many chose to use the usual tool for weathers such as this.

Many already buried and many still waiting to be set down upon the soil they would later call 'their own grave', but at it's center was three special ones made for three heroes who had fallen in battle protecting the next generation of huntsmen and huntresses. All who had fallen had earn a hero's death, but the grave of Sakura, Martin and Lars had earn them a Guardian's death.

At their grave stood the three remaining members of squad 13, behind the three stood their friends, team RWBY who was standing near the squad captain, team JNPR who was positioned close by team RWBY, Taiyang, Qrow, And Summer standing at the far left side of the group while David, Silver and Raven stood at the far right.

Finally Rosa and Naomi stood near Wade Broekman who was clutching the glasses of the once living Martin Russel, with his tears visibly flowing down his cheeks. Even Sun and Neptune were present standing near Misty while being in the same state as Wade only her sniffs can be heard from her crying.

Ken Markes..., the soldier stood at the middle front having the perfect view of his fallen squad members. His left eye had already changed into his Grimm form along with the left side of his body being dark grey and his left hand growing into claws, he's cries were different. On the right eye he would cry normal tears being the right his human side, on the left however he cried tears of blood. The red liquid would flow down his cheeks as if his grimm side felt the same sorrow as his human side, even nature would give it's own tears as it rained heavily at Beacon almost as it felt the pain of lost of many individuals.

But in closer inspection, in Ken's eyes he felt absolutely nothing. He's mind was too broken to comprehend the fact that he lost three of his friends, all because of a hunch he felt and not acting on that feeling. His eyes were lifeless, his hands were no longer giving the feeling of warmth it usually gives and his atmosphere not showing any signs of...anything. He was like a rock thrown in the water, sinking ever so deeper into the abyss of the sea...becoming darker as it continued to sink...until it finally losses it's light.

David had decided to walk to his son's side, patting his shoulders telling him it was time. "Ken...let's go."

The soldier did not respond as he only turned to face the gigantic man, his expression being plain as a wall. It was almost as if the life was sucked out of the predator. David had seen Ken like this before but this was different, no word was heard from Ken ever since that day.

They began to walk back inside the building along with Summer and Taiyang leaving the rest to stay, Ruby and Yang took their time as they watch the soldier retreat back to his place while Blake made a quick glance not wanting to see Ken in his fragile state. Weiss was the most who kept her eyes on him the entire time during his moment at the funeral and his parting, she didn't know why but she felt a strong pain in her heart whenever she saw the boy in misery.

This entire time when ever she spoke to him, he would always have this air around him that felt peaceful and secure. Like she knew he would keep anyone safe, always putting others before himself. But now, it's as if his world had turned grey with no color left to be filled.

She wanted to help truly she did, but she decided against it. Telling herself it was his trial to overcome, his struggle he had to push through. As much as she didn't like her own idea, it didn't seem like Ken was ever going to overcome this sadness of his.

And so after Ken was no longer at sight, Weiss had told the rest of her team to at least visit him to check on his current states. They all agreed, deciding it was best to not let too many people intervene with this, they decided to not tell the others and head off immediately to Ken as they gave their last farewell to their fallen comrades.


Not too long after their arrival, they immediately see David, Summer and Taiyang standing near a large glass window appearing to be observing the person inside. After the incident, Ken had returned to their small base on the unpopulated area somewhere at Beacon. Not wanting to speak with anyone, he secluded himself in an empty observation chamber.

Team RWBY having to arrive there seeing their friend through the glass window, The room was all but white, completely empty inside except him. Ken sat at the middle of the white chamber, his arms resting on the armrest of the chair. His eyes not leaving the ground in it's black and red form, he sat their silently not moving an inch almost like he was deep in his thoughts.

"What are you girls doing here?" David questioned noticing their arrival.

Ruby was the first to answer, "We wanted to visit,...but I guess from the looks of it...nothings changed."

Weiss placed her hand on the glass window, appearing like she was reaching for the guardian. "Is there any way too bring him back? It's been a week." She asks with her tone having a hint of distress.

Summer shakes her head as she stares back through the window, "No, he hasn't eaten in a week. Nor a word from him not even a hint of expression. I've tried speaking to him but to no avail, it's like speaking to a dead person."

"But he'll come back right?" Yang was now in turn to question.

David mimics Summer's action as he eyed his son, "Probably, probably not. This is definitely not the first time, but all those other times he always would at least mutter some words and actually act like a person. Now...he isn't showing any of those at all, he might not even come back."

Now in concern, Blake offered herself to try and speak with the soldier. "Let me go Mister Markes, let me try to speak to him."

David shrugs as he turned to the cat faunus, "Don't bother missy, he didn't respond to us. So what makes you think you can actually go through him?"

Now determined she straightens her back and responds, "I want to at least try it...my way."

David chuckles as he walks towards the entrance of the chamber while pulling down it's lever, opening the door. "Knock yourself out, but just to give you heads up. Don't scare or make him mad, who knows what he might do in this state."

Blake nods as she slowly enters the chamber, she stares in awe looking at the whiteness around her. She was surprised Ken sat here for a whole week, some would surely feel sick or probably go insane from the rooms bright whiteness. She slowly approaches him as the rest of team RWBY carefully attentively watch their teammate try to bring back their friend, she quickly positions in front of him, his eyes glued to the ground. "Ken?" She softly calls out.

"..."

Nothing.

"Ken?" She slightly speaks up.

"..."

Still nothing.

"Ken, please." She says speaking just a bit louder, now lightly pleading.

"..."

No respond.

Blake would not stand this, she was determined to get him back. She was not gonna leave this room without at least a word from him, no she wanted him to look at her. With quick motion she lifted Ken's cheeks to her level and made him look at her, "Ken look at m-"

She cut herself off as she saw his lifeless expression, already in his incomplete stage one grimm form. She backs away slightly from his horrified figure and merely sets his head down again staring down beneath him once more.

She may have been off guard once but that didn't stop Blake, she tries the same motion again trying to get the soldier's attention. "Listen to me Ken, I know you can hear me. Stop being so...depressed and...not you! Everyone's worried about you, I know it's been hard lately but you're only hurting your friends."

"..."

Still there was nothing.

"Please just let us help you, let me help you. If you keep this up you're only ending up killing yourself, just let us in."

"..."

Again...nothing.

"Enough! Ken you've got to stop this and just focus what's really the threat here, certainly your comrades wouldn't want this from you. Right? Sakura, Martin and Lars wouldn't want this from you right?"

From the mention of his deceased teammates, In a blink of an eye. Ken snaps and launches his left hand to Blake's neck gripping it tightly in the process. This causes her to choke from the lack of oxygen and the tightness of Ken's hand, it slowly transforms into claws as it clenches tighter around her neck.

Both eyes now mixed with black and red, she's clearly crossed the line.

Ken continues to do so while still showing no signs of emotions within himself, as if the grimm inside him was doing this on its own. Either way Blake was trouble, "K...Ken...stop." She says in between her struggled breathing.

The next moment David comes inside the chamber and quickly pulling out Annihilation, he goes to stop at Ken's side and slashing of his arm to release the grip holding the cat faunus. This manages to snap Ken back to reality and back away from two, he grips his empty arm as it bleeds out.

Not knowing what was going on he looks at the direction of both David and Blake, he didn't know exactly what was going on other then team RWBY coming to Blake's side, Summer and Taiyang coming to David. But he was able to understand what had happen when he saw his severed arm around Blake's neck, he subconsciously backs away from the scene as he curled himself in a ball at the far side of the corner.

Summer had taken notice of this and decides to try and calm him down despite not exactly alarmed. "Ken, it's not your fault. It wasn't you it was-"

"GO AWAY!" Ken yelled interrupting Summer, he held tighter around himself taking the notice of the four girls and two fathers. "It...just...leave me...Blake...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry." He mumbled to himself but enough for the others to hear.

Blake was thankfully healed thanks to her aura, but now she felt worse for making it any better for him. She felt guilty for making it worse for the poor soldier, David had signaled them to exit the chamber which team RWBY and Summer reluctantly followed. "Ken" Blake said before was leaded out of the chamber along with everyone.

David stood at the middle of the chamber as Ken let himself out from the corner, he goes to stand near his father whiles he took out Tootaxil from his pocket. The others watched as the two Markes stared each other down knowing what was going to happen next, "What's going on?" Yang asked.

"Just watch and you'll know" Taiyang answered.

In the chamber Ken could feel his grimm finally beginning to take form, his entire body began to change completely grey. He now grew small horns around his head, his right hand along with his newly grown left arm were now sharp claws along with his feet underneath, his eyes were now like a grimm and to finish it off he now began to grow a large white tail behind him with the tip slightly having the shade of red. This was complete grimm transformation stage one, Ken could only stare down the ground as David took his shoulder ready to inject him with the serum. "Sorry Ken." He said to the Guardian.

"I know" Ken replied.

"What is that?" Weiss questions

"That's his grimm transformation stage one, David over there is to make sure he doesn't go any further. Hence why he has that serum." Taiyang said while pointing at Tootaxil.

"What does the thing do dad?" Ruby asks.

"Well basically it puts him to sleep before he can go beyond stage one."

"Wait you mean to tell me that he can go beyond...this?" Blake asks in an outburst.

Taiyang nods as he turns back to the two, "From what I've heard from David he has about three stages, possibly a fourth. But I can imagine he might actually turn into an actual Sentinel like that other Hybrid did before this incident."

Remebering from back then, they did saw Twelve going from a person at one moment and then later a fully grown nevermore the next. Escaping from the academy along with the other Hybrids behind her back, was Ken really capable of doing such thing?

The others watch as David injects Ken by the side and of his neck, making the serums enter his system. His transformation began to slowly retreat, his skin going back to it's original color. His eyes turning back to brown and his claws forming back to hands, his tail depletes back into his body whiles his horns breaks out of his head. Ken's consciousness slowly began to leave him as his body fell back to his father, David catches him just in time before impacting the ground.

The gigantic man leaves the chamber with an unconscious Ken as he laid him near a medical bed near by, the others don't bother having a closer look in fear of the soldier may make a sudden action. "It's alright guys, he won't be waking up for a few hours." David informs them.

Taiyang was the only one who approaches the sleeping soldier, with crossed arms he turns to David. "Better keep an eye on him, from what's been happening...who knows what he might do."

David merely sighs folding his own arms, "Wish thing didn't go this way."

"We can't stop what's already happened David, it's best to just accept it." Taiyang responds.

"Yeah you're right."

At that moment was when Qrow walked in, passing the four girls and Summer. "If this goes on the situation will get worse, David sometimes sacrifices are made. For the greater good there're times when we must always act before it occurs, you know what I mean."

David glares the scythe-wielder with annoyance, not wanting where his suggestion was going. "I know Ken can't control his grimm but THAT doesn't mean we have to kill him."

The others had their eyes widened as they could not believe Qrow would suggest such an idea, especially Ruby who looked deeply hurt. "I'm not saying we should do it now, but it's an option."

"An option YOU don't have the call for." David argued stabbing his finger to Qrow's chest, indicating his irritation further.

"It's only a warning David, if he were to ever lose it. Then I won't hesitate to raise my blade against him, he's dangerous to keep." Qrow replied narrowing his eyes.

David step closer to Qrow's space as he was close to angering the gigantic chief of the Guardians, "This is my son, I'm warning you. If you were to ever lay a hand or even a finger at him...then you'll be digging your own grave."

"He'll continue to do so, remember how he killed a family named Jones, remember that it was because of HIM we almost lost Summer. Maybe...it's best we take him out now."

"That wasn't his fault, and if you dare to come any closer...then you'll have to go through me." David threatened gripping Annihilation.

Qrow does the same as they grew closer to each other, ready to strike. Just as they were about to move, two huntresses were able to stop the two before encaging into a battle. Summer holding her weapon to David and Raven holding up her's to Qrow, "Raven? When did yo-" Qrow questions but was cut off.

"You're going to far Qrow, it is not your call to eliminate the Apex Predator." Raven informs the older huntsman.

The disagreement of Raven's thoughts made Qrow lower his weapon, David doing the same but the state of his threat still remained. "Look...like I said before...it was only an option, but if he ever were to lose control...I will kill him."

"Enough!" Taiyang says rising his voice taking the attention of the rest of the adults, "Qrow...you know better then to make a statement, David is the one to decide what to do with Ken NOT us." He stated.

Qrow merely scowls turning his way to the exit, "Whatever...you know it's true either way...he's dangerous and needs to be dealt with."

David slowly returns to Ken's side as he rested his arm on his bed lowering his head, "I know...now everyone...LEAVE."

With a sigh of defeat, Taiyang and the other marched their way to the exit. Leaving a fearful and dreadful feeling to the four girls of team RWBY, such a dire event was a thought the girls wish it was only a dream. But in way how the dusty old Qrow put it was something he was not entire wrong of, if the situation were to ever demand such a sacrifice it was their job to eliminate the threat...especially Ken for his out of controlled grimm assault. It was their job to keep the peace, taking out creatures of grimm was something they were specialized and taught to do, Ken was no different.

When the group was finally no longer present in the building, David gripped Ken's hand lightly letting a tear drop fall from his eye. "I promised Christina I wouldn't let anything happen to you, I swear Ken...I won't let your mother's wishes be tainted. I'll protect you even if it cause my life,...your mother would have been proud of you now." He thought.


In calm night inside Team RWBY's dorm, the four girls we're trying their hardest to sleep. It wasn't too long ago they left the building Ken was staying in, Qrow's statement was pierced deep into their heads. It was keeping them up for quite awhile. Ruby and Yang couldn't believe nor would they ever expect to hear such words from their uncle, never in a million or probably in a billion years. Blake's worries were keeping her up as well, Ken was a wonderful person and friend to be around. Such person who fought for people's battles and the safety for everyone was certain a person to be admired, in a world like this it was rare to find people like him. Open minded, kind, caring and brotherly like to everyone, of course there were many other great qualities he possessed but the one that outshines all was his way of connecting himself onto others hearts. A man so pure yet not innocent, strong in battle yet gentle in nature. He was Ken Markes, and Blake was willing to do anything to help the broken guardian. At this moment the feelings Blake had felt for the soldier had grew immensely but she had not take notice of this and merely shrugged it of as her imagination, "Do you really think uncle Qrow has the guts to kill Ken?" Ruby asks out loud.

Yang turns from her top bank bed now facing her teammates, "I don't know Rubes, he sounded pretty serious back there."

"But I'm sure he's just exaggerating, right?" Ruby said trying to deny the fact her uncle was willing to take action against her fellow friend.

"Let's not take this too seriously Ruby, let's just hope uncle Qrow doesn't occur to that."

Blake turns to the two as she voiced her thoughts, "Ken doesn't deserve such treatment, no one does. I'm going to him tomorrow, you going to company me?"

Yang was the first to object, "Maybe we shouldn't, let's not forget what he did to you just now."

It was a painful memory but yes, Blake very much did remember her moment with Ken. Of him almost choking her to death, but she was willing to forgive him because she knew it wasn't him taking hold of her...it was the grimm inside him. "Yes you're right, but at times like this we need as many people to be strong. And I can't stand to watch him be so hopeless, we need to help."

Ruby hesitated for a moment before finally offering her company,

"Alright sure, let's do it."

Yang bumps both her fist together agreeing with her kid sister, "Yeah, let's knock some sense into him."

Ruby intervenes with Yang's declaring saying, "Yang, I don't think knocking some sense into him would help him very much. I think you'd probably just make things worse."

Yang rests her elbow onto her bed positioning her cheeks between her hand, "Knocking people out are always more fun and sometimes helpful but talking is good too." She says perking a small grin.

Weiss was by the window of her dorm, admiring the calmness of the evening. While her teammates were discussing tomorrow's plan, she was more enveloped in the thought of losing Ken from his inner darkness. Certainly that was something she didn't want happening, her heart slightly beating faster at the thought of him smiling again.

Both the heiress and the guardian never exactly interacted a lot, but both always appreciate each other's company. There were times she saw his amazing smiles he gave people, still how can a soldier like him know well as the Apex Predator who is know for eliminating dangerous grimms effortlessly on his own smile so brightly to many people.

It was what caught her eye, many of her admirers who were arranged by her father from noble families always treated her kindly and respectfully. All with wonderful smiles, but in her eyes she can clearly see the real intentions behind her admirers. All but only wanting to have the perks of her name and power, not to mention their riches. This made her despise men in way she would not ever interact with them, but the day she first saw Ken's smile it was...intriguing.

It was of pure heart with no motives beneath it, it shined of nothing but kindness and passion. It was the smile that had made the heiress admire the soldier, his caring for others was rarely found from her admirers. Sure her feelings for the guardian wasn't exactly as strong as Blake but still it was present, and she was well aware of it. Well aware of it enough that it was slowly growing with each day she saw the soldier, and in a way...she was subconsciously embracing it. "I'm coming too, I am a friend of his." She turns telling the girls of her attends for tomorrows plan.

Yang raises her brow as she questioned the heiress with a puzzling look, "Really Weiss? You barely ever come with us when Ken is involved, not that I'm not telling you it's not cool of course."

Weiss places her hands between her waist as she leaned forward, "Well of course because of him feeling distress, why would I not help a friend in need of comfort."

"Oh so it's comfort your offering him? Aayyyyye." Yang says in sly mannerly way. This triggered a strong blush from Ruby while Blake tries to hide the red cheeks, "N-No of course not." Weiss objects stuttering, having the shade of red present around her face.

"Ooooooo someone's blushing" Yang teases poking the white schnee.

"I'm not blushing!" Weiss says in an outburst before continuing, "I'm only doing this because...he...forgave me for my reckless actions. It was my fault I accidentally stabbed his arm, he was willing to forgive for such disgracefulness. I'm only doing this to...repay the debt."

"You know, when someone accepts your apology. You're not suppose take it as some kind of favor you need to repay for, apologies

are apologies Weiss. Nothing more, nothing less." Yang points out.

"I said it's repaying the debt and so we leave it at that, I am to accompany you three wether you like it or not." Weiss argues.

"Alright alright whity, no need to get upset." Yang says whiles continuing their discussion, "Whity?!" Weiss irritatingly questions.

"Cool so tomorrow we go with, operation 'Making our friend laugh again cause he's been down for so long and also so we can discuss weapons again' is a go, anyone agrees with this then say I" Ruby indicated.

"Alright let's break him"

"I'm going back to bed."

"..."

Ruby frowns as she was responded with the usual replies of her teammates, "None of you said I."


In the dorm of team KRWN, two of it's teammates were currently lost in the midst of their deep slumber. Rosa who was fast asleep, she had been dealing with this depressing tone of the academy for the entire day. Not that everyone els has but she absolute despised gloomy atmosphere, of course everyone does but she ABSOLUTELY hates it.

She had tried different ways to cheer the students up from their hopeless sense, but attempts after attempts she would most of the time end it failure. Sure she had manage to cheer a few students up, but the majority of it were to depressed to even try to force a smile. This ended up with her tiring herself out, mustering the last of her strength she arrives back at the dorm and was already laid lazily on her bed entering her own land of dreams in a snap without even to bother changing her attire to a more comforting ones.

Wade was already asleep before her arrival, the lights were off being that Rosa arrived rather late. But his troubles would always follow him even in his dreams, he was slightly squirming around his bed. Struggling for a peaceful slumber due to his nightmare he had been experiencing, these past days he was slowly starting to get better thanks his teammates. But still it didn't mean he was over from the incident, each day his nightmares would worsen overtime. It sometimes resulted to him being afraid to sleep in the night, but thankfully a certain teammate of his was there to keep him in check.

Naomi sat by the side of Wade's bed, using her semblance to manipulate and change Wade's dream in a more calm and soothing one. She had sensed his troubles earlier and had rushed to his bed side soon afterwards, after awhile his squirms started to lessen and finally he was sleeping peacefully. But it was only due time that he would experience another dreadful dream, but she didn't mind doing so. After all they were teammates and friends, but her senses couldn't help but shift to a certain person of her's dear to her.

She could sense him, further from where they slept. She opens her eyes as she had been sensing his distress for quite sometime in the nights, "I can feel his distress, Wade's not the only one having nightmares." She thought to herself.

She sits up from her seat watching the broken moon from the window illuminate it's light, perhaps it was a sign of nature telling her to offer her hand to that person. She closes her eyes as she focuses her semblance to try and register the nightmare her team leader was currently having, she couldn't exactly help him from the distance between them but she could at least enter his dream and watch from afar. "Ken's nightmare seems to be worst then what Wade gets, I only wish I was there to help." She thought.


All he could was red, everything felt heavy. His breath was shortened and his surroundings was merely more of the color red, Ken Markes was slowly plummeting deeper in the depths of the red sea. In a way it symbolized the victims that had fallen under his path, he was completely alone.

Looking behind he could see the further he would sink the darker it would get, he couldn't resist, probably even wouldn't.

After a moment more bodies began to plummet from the surface, many of them sinking faster then he could. Getting a better look at one of these people were ones he clearly recognized, one of them being Martin Russel. As he was close to reaching the darkness of the sea, Ken could see dark long hands going to grab the deceased guardian. After it was finally close to their reach, Martin was strongly pulled into the darkness of the bottom.

In fear of what he might expect he turns to others who were sinking faster then, Lars was amongst them. Already being pulled into the darkness, next was Sakura, then the Jones, then other civilians. Later he could see the others at the surface, no more then staring him down as he sinks deeper in his own sea of blood.

Like the others, Ken was taken hold by one of the darkened arms. Later more had taken hold of him as he tries to free himself from their grasp, he however was not pulled down immediately. Instead he was slowly pulled into the darkness, his eyes setting back to the others above the surface. Watching him being drowned into the bottom, "Ruby, Blake, Yang, Weiss, Summer, Dad, Guys...why are you all just standing there...help me." He thought.

He struggles to free himself as he tries to yell for their assistance, no sound came out due to him being at the bottom of the sea. His realization was too late when he had noticed his head was all that was left from entering the darkness, any further struggling would prove only to be futile. "They can't hear, I'm too deep into my own sea of blood. No matter, I deserve this anyway."

Right before he was sucked into the darkness, Ken had opened his eyes and was back to reality waking himself up from the nightmare. His heavy breathing, covered in his own cold sweet. He sits up from his bed as he had noticed David at his desk, his head rested in his arms sleeping peacefully in the night.

As much as he had appreciated his father's effort for staying in watch for him, he couldn't have cared much since he's done things like this before. It was expected from him being his father, he walked his way towards the outside of the room as he wanted to admire the moon's shining light. The academy was nearly dark, having a bit of light from other buildings but still it was peaceful. The stars shined ever so brightly, like the sky was telling him that everything will eventually get better. He was finally able to at least let out a weak smile at the night sky, feeling a bit of his worries fading from his mind.

Views like this always had put him at ease, not a care to the world but only it's peaceful silence. The wind blowing against him and the coldness of the air relaxing his thoughts, it was the first time in these pass days he felt calm.

Back at the room where David rested, he had been watching him for quite awhile. One eye closed and one eye open, he was glad his son had felt a sense of relief from this whole situation. Knowing Ken was feeling slightly better, he now could sleep in the night with no worries.

Ken continued standing outside, admiring the stars and it's wonders. Maybe tomorrow if he felt much better, he might be able to give a proper apology to his faunus friend from team RWBY. For now he could care less about anything, he just wanted to stay like this till it lasts, wishing it was forever.

Unknown to him, this entire time he was being observed by a certain girl with white hair from distance hiding behind a wall. As much as Weiss disliked sneaking out from her dorm with only her sleeping garments, she was too curios to know what Ken had been doing this entire time. Much to her surprise he was outside gazing at the stars, and finally for such in awhile she was finally able to see him smile again for so long. It wasn't like his pass ones that showed great kindness but this was more of a smile that had manage to form after his many hardships. Ken being distracted from his moment wasn't able to sense Weiss, at least thankfully she came alone.

If she were to sneak out with the rest of the team (which was very possible if she was caught), then maybe he would have noticed her or their presents. It was lucky of her being able to sneak pass her teammates, Ruby and Yang was rather easy being heavy sleepers. But Blake was difficult being a cat faunus, any sudden movements may sometimes result to her jumping from her bed.

But no matter, what matter to her now was seeing Ken better then he was before. And so she was able to go back to her dorm feeling quite relief, a small shade of pink couldn't help form on her cheeks. Taking notice of this, she shakes her head trying to make the small blush disappear, "I do not have any affectionate feelings for him, Hmph this is nothing but a mere sense of relief. Nothing more and nothing less." She thought with her arms crossed while marching back to her dorm.

Her cheeks heating up ever so brighter from her own thoughts, "MY EMOTIONS BETTER STOP PLAYING WITH ME!"
