Chapter 6
What is going on in my life recently?
Yang could only think to herself as she sat with her head propped on her fist. She gazed across from her every so often to see her sister engulfed in an eating frenzy over some choc-chip cookies.
Ruby nibbled down on her the cookies she loved to eat. Yang held her head in her hands as she smiled at the sight.
The crumbling biscuit reminded her of her mother, soft and sweet. The sign she wanted to keep her little sister safe and sound.
"Hey Ruby?"
The girl in the red hood looked at her sister, flecks of cookie scattered across her mouth.
"Yshhs.." she mumbled as she swallowed the last one "ahem...Yes?"
"Eat to live not live to eat." she smiled wiping the remaining crumbs at the corner of her lips.
"Eughh do you always have to act like the big sister ALL the time?" Ruby moaned.
"I do if you want to keep your girlfriend from walking out on you during your next meal...little sister." replied Yang.
Ruby groaned.
Yang smiled over to her across the table. Ruby's plate was empty, her belly was full but it didn't stop the little devil being hungry to get a rise out of her older sibling.
"At least I have a girlfriend!" scoffed Ruby the willingness to gloat filling up her face as she crinkled her eyebrows.
Yang lowered her smile and raised her glare.
"Seriously funny." she gnarled.
Before long both girls split into a synchronous laughter as Yang dug her sister softly in the arm.
"Are you reading the book I gave you?" asked Ruby.
"Trust me Ruby I don't need that book. I don't know why you brought me it." said Yang, now beginning to squirm a little in her seat.
"It might help."
"I don't need help finding a girlfriend Ruby...besides I might be okay by myself.." said the blonde "If I'm going to find someone it'll be on my own terms. My own rules. No one and nothing is going to teach me how to fall in l-"
Breaking the conversation of the girls were the sounds of berating and castigating language from across the food court.
"Filthy Faunus! You have the nerve to come sweep the floors near us?! You are the dirty one. The one who needs to be kept clean away from us!" said a tall teenager with his group of friends all wearing sports gear, caked in mud, towering over the small mouse tailed worker.
"P-please I'm just here to clear up. I meant no offen-"
"Shut it scum!" he shouted as she pushed the poor boy over onto the dirt trodden floor. "That's where you belong, on the ground with all the rest."
"Haha scurry away little rodent, back into the forest with all the other little animals." said the others as they all promptly guzzled in a cacophonous group laugh.
It was in this instance Yang had heard enough. With attempts from her sister trying to grab her arm she made her way over and looked on as the group of humans continued hurling their verbal garbage towards the Faunus.
"Oh what's this?!" said one of them as they snatched something from the young boy.
"Give it back!" he shouted weakly.
They unfolded a creased photo open and saw it was a picture.
"Oh how cute, it's a picture of Mommy!"
"Bet she works at the strip club like all the rest." one of them sneered.
"Probably got knocked up for a few extra lien haha, what's the matter Daddy not around anymore scum?" they laughed tearing up the picture in front of him.
"HEY!"
Suddenly they all turned round and were met with two red ticking bombs staring directly back at them.
"Leave him alone, now!" seethed Yang as she got closer to the group.
"Oh look guys it's another sympathiser. They're certainly been coming out the wood work lately."
"What's the matter girl got a thing for animals have you? What a freak!" one sniggered towards the blonde.
"I have a thing for broken noses.." she muttered "..and I think I'll start with yours."
She took a step forward only to come to a quick halt. She felt the sudden tug behind, her little sister pleading her not to go any further.
"Pfft what's with this girl?" one of them asked.
"No idea. I'm just glad the Winchester family are in charge of the laws here. Would hate to see the likes of these two walking around holding hands." he sneered.
"Let's go. Before we catch any diseases." the leader said, now gesturing his posse to move out of the cafeteria.
Her eyes eventually transitioned back to cool lilac as she looked down to the Faunus lay there in the mud, gripping what was left of the memories of his mother. She looked at him for a response but all she got was quiet muffles of tears.
"Sis let's go?" said Ruby now looking around to see quite the commotion from everyone else in the area.
The rushing winds kept buzzing inside Yang's ears, nattering to her as she rode faster down the road.
"Who was that back there?" Ruby asked as she gripped her sister tightly to make the next bend.
"A bunch of morons who nearly lost their teeth." she said revving harder as she began to build speed.
"I meant that mouse guy." she said "Do you know him?"
"No. Why should I?" Yang asked.
"He's a Faunus..."
"So what? Does that mean they should be treated any differently?" now snapping at her.
"I'm sorry!"
Ruby now quietened herself.
"It's not your fault Ruby. We'll be there soon."
They shortly arrived outside Ruby's college. Ruby got off the bike and hugged her sister tightly.
"I'll call you later okay sis?" Ruby said.
"You better. Also you make sure you tell your girlfriend I want to meet her!" Yang now said smiling.
"I will!"
Yang watched her sister head through the college gates and turned the engine back on.
It didn't take her long to reach the biggest mall in Vale. Her plan to stock up on goods made all the more apparent now she had a new house guest. She decided that if this new girl was going to be stopping; however long that would last, she would need to fill her apartment with enough for two.
A cat Faunus, with a bitter dislike to bland coffee and an air of mystery making her completely hard to read in pretty much every single way, shouldn't be too hard to shop for … so the list she wrote began:
Bread, milk, fruit, fish, biscuits, cakes, sweets, coffee tea and beer for me..done
Yang packed it all into a large bag. She whipped the bag onto her back and set off down the road on her bike.
When she got back to the apartment she placed the goods down on the kitchen counter but felt something strange. The temperature was stone cold. She looked over to see the thermostat had been altered. She knew she never set it this low, she preferred the much warmer temperatures, almost searing hot to be exact.
What gives?
The only conclusion she could come to was made very apparent when she saw the figure appear from the other room: a dark haired girl, cat ears and still wearing pretty much nothing over herself. She came out and immediately threw her hands over her chest.
"Ah…you're back." she spluttered not realizing the time.
Yang smiled at her attempt at modesty.
"You know I've already seen everything right?"
"Hm..."
Blake stood watching as Yang went over to one of her draws and pulled out a spare shirt and gently tossed it over to her.
"Aren't you freezing? It must be below six in here." Yang questioned.
"Yeah I'm used to it." Blake replied. She then decidedly put the shirt on un-buttoned.
"Well I'm gonna turn it up a little bit, if that's alright with you."
"O-Okay."
Sure enough Yang turned the temperature midway between hot and cold. She then made her way into the kitchen which piqued the interest of the newly anointed house guest.
"I picked up a few things while out" spoke Yang. "Here, take a look and see if you want anythi-."
"Tea." Blake interrupted rummaging through the bag and clasping her eyes upon a box of teabags.
Yang felt a little surprised but in a happy sense. She finally had something that could keep this girl occupied while she questioned her further.
"Alright then" she said "I'll make us some tea, if you promise to tell me more about what's going on with you – deal?"
The amber eyed girl looked a little shaken at first but quickly nodded her head towards the blonde, looking back at her.
