1 week has passed and if anything my rage has only grown towards that mongrel. I didn't let Yang know about this just because I didn't wanna worry her. I opened the door to the fighting arena and even I was impressed with it. This arena hall was huge with room to spare for probably all the teams enrolled here. I got distracted by watching team RWBY practice. I watched Yang as she sparred against Blake and Yang just looked so damn happy that it made me smile, it's weird how just seeing someone having fun can change your mood so much. Oh right, I have a mongrel to beat down. I started to strut towards the main stage where my opponent was waiting. I won't lose. The arena must have connected with my scroll since my aura and name appeared on the big monitor next to my opponent's, Cardin Winchester. Great just hearing that pretentious name makes me hate him even more, I mean seriously could you have a name that made you sound like more of a douchebag. I took off my jacket and put it on the side of the stage.
"Cardin Winchester vs Lucifer Ambrosine, being in 5...4...3...2...1...fight" the computer called.
My opponent pulled out his mace and rushed at me. I could end this in 10 seconds but after insulting me and Yang, I am sooo going to enjoy this. A golden bat appeared in my hand, I'm gonna do what Yang said and attack with my own hands. His mace collided with my bat and the force cancelled each other out, he used 2 hands while I only used 1. Our weapons collided and my bat shattered, sometimes I forget that my weapons still have the properties of whatever they originated from so a steel mace could easily smash a wooden bat.
"That all mutt?" Okay no way am I gonna let him enjoy this.
I picked up a few things from training with Yang that 1 week, he doesn't even deserve my weapons. I rushed at this prick and hit him right in his smug face. He got pissed that I actually got a hit in on him. He got pissed and started swinging his mace left and right.
"U mad bro?" I asked just trying to get him even more pissed past the point of all reason.
He got even madder and kept swinging at me but he was slow so I easily dodged. Every time he swung at me I would dodge then hit him in the solar plexus, the weakest part of the upper body. I did this 3 times before he finally learned and the fourth time I uppercuts him to the ground.
"Boys!" He yelled
2 of his friends grabbed my arms and held them while the third started punching me in the stomach, that cheating bitch. Guess 1 on 1 isn't his thing when he's losing. I looked to the side of the stage to see RWBY, all of them looked concerned and pissed but especially Yang. Fire was coming from her hair and she gripped the edge of the stage so hard that she put dents into it...she put dents into a metal stage my gripping on it too tight. Yeah I should probably win this or Yang's gonna get pissed at me. After the seventh time hitting me in the stomach I decided to fight back.
"Heaven's Door" I said
This made them stop.
"What, you haven't seen my semblance?" I asked sarcastically.
This made them mad as I was about to be punched again.
"Before you do that" I interrupted "I'd take a look around us"
They all saw the 50 golden weapons that appeared around the stage and turned white.
"I'm nice so if you let go right now, I won't have all these weapons attack you" they immediately let go of me.
I casually walked off the stage as they stood frozen in fear, the second I got off the stage I said "Your leader promised me 1 on 1, so like him I'll lie. Enjoy the pain" I said as all the weapons were launched at all of them making their auras drop to 0.
"Winner, Lucifer Ambrosine" the computer thing called out
RWBY ran up to me with excited or approving looks except for Yang, she just walked up to me and punched me in the arm.
"Ow" I said
"I held back cause I like you now why did you hold back?" Yang asked
Damn, she really can see through me easily.
"They didn't deserve to see me at my best, only worthy opponents get that."
"Oh, okay." Ruby said
"Yes, that was quite the show." It was the headmaster of this school. "I might even have to offer you an invitation to join my school"
RWBY's faces light up. I slowly walked over to Ozpin and as I walked by his ear I said "I'd rather die"
I stormed out of the arena, I could feel a depression episode coming on, when this happens I need to be alone. I ran to my motorcycle and drove back to my penthouse. I ignored the heavy amount of cold snow that fell as I drove. I locked the door behind me and sat on the floor as I had a gold knife appear from Heaven's Door. I started cutting on my arm, over a minute I cut my arm 6 times and watched as the blood flowed. I'm really messed up, this is the only way I can get rid of my depression and this time it wasn't working. I took the gold and now red knife and put it over where the pain was, my heart. Know what, who'd care if I died. Me dying would probably make more people happy than it would sad. I pulled the knife away from my body and readied it to meet with my heart, if you can call the black void in my chest that. My door opened and I immediately rolled down my sleeves. On the other side was Yang with a lock pick, that's so like her. I couldn't move when I saw how mad she was. Yang kicked the knife out do my hands and I closed my eyes, thinking I was gonna get hit. It'd hurt even more since Yang would be the one hitting me.
I felt arms wrap around me and I just felt so relaxed. I opened my eyes and saw Yang's hair, how is she not mad at me?
"Please stop cutting" I could feel the sadness in her voice.
"I can't, I need a way to deal with my depression or I'm gonna go crazy or worse."
"Let me tell you something" Yang said as she pulled back and stared into my eyes.
"For 4 years a lot of guys have gone after me cause I have big tits and you know what, sometimes it really pisses me off. Then there's this one guy who doesn't stare at them all the time and he's the best guy I've ever met. Just because it's bad now doesn't mean it stays bad." Damn, my problems seem like nothing compared to Yang's and she's always smiling.
During that whole story neither of us looked away from each other. I didn't fall for Yang cause she has a big chest. I fell for Yang cause...well, she's Yang. But I'm still a guy, the big chest doesn't hurt.
Yang noticed the blood stain that went from my wound onto my long sleeve shirt. She went to pull back the sleeve but I stopped her.
"Yang, I only showed you my wrists. J-Just be ready" I said as I let go of her hand and missed the warmth already
I let Yang roll up my sleeves to find more and more cutting scars. I just kept worrying she's gonna hate me for being an emo Faunus freak. I was ready to be called a freak, which I am.
"You got a first aid kit?" Yang asked
"Yeah, under the couch"
"Okaaay, totally normal spot" Yang said sarcastically
"You think I like people seeing how much I use it?"
"Okay, good point" Yang said as she got up, lifted up the couch and pulled out the first aid kit before putting down the couch. Yang brought it over and started cleaning my cut.
"Ow!" I yelled when she sprayed me
"Take your medicine" Yang said as she moved to wrapping up my wound.
"There!" Yang said proudly as I looked at the very professional looking job she did, guess you get that after having Ruby for a little sister.
The power went out. REALLY bad memories related to complete darkness surfaced and I started breaking heavy.
"What's wrong?" Yang asked me
"I-I just have really bad memories of complete darkness so this is terrifying me" I made out
Yang picked me up and said "I got ya" after walking into the walls 3 times she made it to my bed. My heart started beating faster and faster as I realized I was in my bed with Yang. I mean we've only been going out for a week, is it normal to do that after only a week. Yang was still holding me and letting my lay against her chest which REALLY wasn't helping things.
"Having funnnn?" Yang teased me
"Fuck off" I said as I blushed red and internally admitted it did feel nice.
Yang laughed as she rubbed my head which she knew I liked. As my girlfriend ran her hand through my hair I thought of a question I should have asked long ago.
"Why are you so protective of your hair?" I asked
I could tell Yang was shocked when I asked this. Yang's hand stopped.
"I remember when I was little, I always wore my hair in pigtails. One day my scrunchies came loose, I'll never forget what happened next. When my scrunchies snapped and my hair fell down, My Uncle Qrow dropped the glass he had in his hand and with tears in his eyes he asked "Raven?" My Uncle thought I was my mom. My mom's been missing for almost 18 years. Now it feels like my hair is my mom, I know that sounds weird. It just feels like my mom is with me so whenever someone cuts my hair, it feels like they're cutting my mom and I hate it. Nobody gets to hurt or touch my mom."
"That's really cute" I said "it's too bad though, I really wanted to run my hands through your hair when we kiss."
"Ya know the only person I let touch my hair is Ruby but, I just might make an exception"
Yang grabbed my right hand and brought it to the top of her head. Yang's hair was as soft as...something that's really soft. The point is that Yang's hair felt amazing, unlike anything I've ever touched before. The fact that Yang let me touch her hair made me feel really special. I had my head on Yang's chest, my left hand on her hair, and my left arm hugging her. Yang had both her arms wrapped around me, protecting me. Like that, we fell asleep in each other's embrace. I love my life.
