Hey guys!
Kind (Girl): I know it's been a while but I think we're gonna be able to post regularly again. Had exams and also waited another week for my co-author to finish his back papers.
But we're done with that and we can focus here again.
Strong (Boy): Some of your suggestions on the harem has been a… topic 'kind' been itching on. But I can confirm that we will not add Blake since there's reason like Sun and also the fact that putting all the girls from RWBY team in the harem would be too strange for us.
Kind (Girl): Since some of you ask Weiss again and again, I'm talking about stranger-guest. I'll decide if we're gonna add her when Naruto heads to Atlas.
Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto or RWBY.
Chapter-6
Menagerie
Menagerie, a placed filled with people or particularly most of the fanus race who just want to be left alone and live in peace. It was an isolated island away from the larger kingdoms and a safe haven for fanus.
Here, the region had a tropic climate where vegetation can be found in a variety though only 1/3 of the island since the other portion was a dangerous waste land or desert fill with danger that made it inhabitable.
Still, the habitable portion was big enough to populate a large number even with the neighboring harsh environment that covers part of the island.
There was also one major good trait and it was the low number of land base Grims, it made the people living in to be able to sit back and worried less about their lives.
Though at the time, the place now was currently in a bit of a difficult situation.
Such a situation was the revolution group called 'The White Fang'. At the current moment, they were a group that moves forward for the equal right of their race against human. They were a group that approach with words of revolt for their unequal treatment and all done with non violence protests.
"Chieftain, thank you again for helping the wounded and continuing to support our cause." A fanus name Gheira Belladona now was currently in a conversation with the current Chieftain of the Menagerie.
"It is something I… no, any fanus would've gladly support Gheira. Though…" The old fanus was wondering something as he looks at the tattered figure of the leader of the White Fang.
"…I thought your cause was against violence and more prone to protest?"
"It's… difficult Chieftain." The current leader of the White Fang sighed at the latest failed protest that turned for the worse due to bad co-operation.
"Do tell."
"Normally, our cause separates to different locations. Unfortunately on our recent movement and unknown to me, one of those groups that went ahead had some of the younger and newer members of our cause and… how would you say…" The current High lord and leader of the group had a tired expression, "….difficult to handle. They believed that words are not enough and thus raise their fist at our last protest site."
"I see…" The old Chieftain nods understanding the fellow fanus troubles. "But… difficulties, is it not something that always there when there's something great to achieve?"
"….."
"You must have come to realize by now… that not all fanus don't necessarily seek harmony between us and the humans. But time will tell if such a view can last or be achieved."
"….." The fanus man sighs and wondered out more ideas knowing full well that the word of the chieftain was right.
"How about we end our discussion for now? We can continue tomorrow."
"Of course." With a heavy heart the fanus man left.
"…" Ghiera at first was a fanus that seek a peace between themselves and the humans. It was surprising that he had such an ambition seeing the history of mistreatment on fanus by humans.
But now, he saw that things were going to be harder. The White Fang he built was now becoming more and more variant of what he made it to be.
He did not build the resistance for something as meager as seeking comfort but more of a path for a better future for his kind and for the hate within his people to dwindle in time as he saw that many of the young ones inheriting their parents hate for the humans to die in vain or choose destructive paths.
"…." There was also one thing that bothered him so much at the moment.
"Ghiera." A cat fanus, his wife came to him as he was still watching the sun go down.
"How is she?" The man asked more calmly due to his wife's presence.
"She's fine, a few cuts and bruise maybe some future scars but ultimately fine."
"Maybe I should've stopped her from joining." His tightens his hand in a tense fist.
"…." The fanus woman's touch on his tense arm slowly calms him again. "Do you believe you could've stopped her? She is your daughter and you know how stubborn Blake can be."
"Stubborn is right, where did she get that from?"
"….." The fanus woman just giggles at her husband's frantic look.
"Khali, do you see what I'm seeing?"
"Hm?"
"….." The two of them were quiet surprised before blinking a few times at the chance of someone drifting gentle from the sea. Something that was very strange was happening right at the sea before them.
"Row, row, row your boat, gentle down the stream…"
They kept looking at the person or in this case a boy who appears to be a little fanus boy around their daughter's age riding a drift wood. He was rowing to their direction with a stick like paddle.
"Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream…" The fanus boy had a number of long beautiful golden fox tails that were also helping rowing through the water. He also seemed to be happily and gently singing to himself.
"Hello~" The boy gently waves his hand as a sign of being polite along with a gentle smile before moving pass the dock the two were standing on.
"….." Both adults did not just stay and watch, they were responsible people and seeing a child no less coming from the sea where dangerous grims lurk made them unsettle. So, they did like any good responsible adults would.
What they did not notice was a dark shadow under the sea surface quietly moves away from its position beside the little boy.
…..
"Um… this place is called Menagerie?"
"Exactly, but as you can see…"
The boy that had strangely drifted from the sea stood with the leader of the White fang while they waited for the man's wife whom was buying something from a local vendor.
"….." The boy with the eight golden tails curiously looks around the place. It was night and yet he saw so many fanus talking and just enjoying a daily life style.
"I like it." The boy smiled seeing so many people smiling and the peaceful air that was envelop the place.
"Really?" Ghiera was in the first time surprise after many times showing new comers around Menagerie. He agreed it was a good place since his people could live in peace here but the boy's answer was a first.
"Mm!" The boy nods but he could see doubt in the man's face, "Don't you?"
"….." This was the first he has ever met a child so innocent. He felt it was the reason his wife tag along to show the boy around.
"No, no, I believe it's a great place too…"
"Maybe I should buy something for Milady." With curiosity, the boy looks at all the stalls open even in the night.
Ghiera had a few thoughts and knelt down in front of the young fanus he presumes to be. "Boy."
"Yes?" The blond hair boy turn back his attention to the knelt down man.
"Can you tell me who your parents are or at least how they look like? Maybe we can find them."
"…"
"….." The boy process what the man asked before he figured it.
"You mean a 'Mom' and a 'Dad' right?"
"….." His answer did not sit well to the fanus man. It was not how a child should answer unless they were orphans but even orphans would've answered differently.
"Ghiera? Ghiera?"
"!?" The fanus man snapped out of his dazed before finding his wife worriedly looking at him while carrying a dozen treats.
"Khali, that boy… I don't think we should let him out of our site."
"I don't know what you're implying but where is he?"
"He's…" The spot where the boy was supposed to standing now was empty.
The fanus man figured the child might have wander while he was in a slump from too many surprises.
"Hey, why are you crying?" Somewhere not too far from the people that had been showing him around, our little protagonist heard a cry and move towards it.
He found a little raccoon fanus girl crying behind a palm tree. The girl looks to be around the age of 5 or 4.
"*sniff* Who are *sniff* you?"
"Me?" The boy then sat down close to the girl smaller than him.
"*sniff* Go away *sniff*" She wasn't in the mood to see anyone and turn her teary eyes away from him.
"You see… I don't really know my name. hehe…" The boy wasn't telling a lie, he was called 'N' by some people he came to like but it wasn't his real name.
"*sniff* you're not lying?"
"No, is it really strange?" He blink a few times since he was unsure himself at the subject.
"Mm." The girl made a small nod after rubbing her tears off, "Didn't your Mama or Papa give you one?"
"You mean a 'Mom' and 'Dad'?"
"I think so…" The little girl was only 4 or 5 and wasn't sure herself.
"Still…" The boy pulls out a yellow handkerchief he had gotten from a blond hair girl he made friends with. He extends it to clean the younger girl's tear stain cheeks. "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm sad." The girl felt a little better and answer him solemnly.
Somewhere else, a fanus wearing clothing with some symbols on his shoulder ran with great speed.
"High leader!"
"I'm a little bit busy."
Ghiera and his wife while looking for the strange boy were suddenly called out by one of his subordinates.
Yes, they thought about the idea that he might have found by his family was also there but it was night and not a lot of people were around. They know it was dangerous of children at night since there are a few fanus that were friendly.
"No sir, it's important. Something is happening at the infirmary house and people are crowding the place!"
"….." Ghiera and Khali exchange glances until his Khali put a hand on his husband's arm.
"Go, I'll keep looking around."
"….." The man nods and follows his subordinate. He was also worried when he heard the word 'Infirmary house' since it was a place where most of his people who follow him in his cause were currently being attended to.
….
It was simple, very simple and easy for him to heal those who have suffered injuries that could take weeks or months.
"Look, look, that's something you don't see every day.
He could even regenerate lost limbs and heal those who might die any second.
"Someone just brought him in and heal a woman back to full health."
"Even the doctors are baffle."
But even with such great powers he didn't want to show case it or use it every time someone wanted it. He made a promise to two people who he couldn't remember clearly but it was a promise to use his powers if it could inspire others and if they really needed it.
"Is it a semblance?"
"Beats me, but if it could work on my ill sister than I couldn't care less what it is."
"…"
He came in since he wanted to help the crying little girl especially since she was in a deep sadness that could affect her future.
"…"
"Thank you boy, it can move my arm and leg again."
"You're welcome, but please don't push yourself too much."
"Big brother, big brother that was so amazing! It was just like mom again!"
The squirrel fanus he had helped was smiling very brightly whiles her mother whom he helped from afar smile gratefully at him.
He didn't really get her name but felt relief that was she was smiling.
"Please, help my son!" A woman came with a panic expression and he continued his treatment.
He fixed those that had extreme injuries except one or two who had missing limbs.
He was feeling tired, he couldn't recall the amount of people he had helped in the short time he had spent there. Some of the doctors and nurses were finally able to relax after he had helped those that were at a dangerous case.
It was very tiring to use his power for so long but the reason was not of depletion of aura or power but the stamina he used to hold back his immense power to heal at a normal level since if he didn't hold back he could bestow them powers or power that could lead to a curse life. All his actions up till now were all his instinctive action or it just felt right to him.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The fanus cried at her healed child.
The reason why he was holding back was also a mystery to him. He couldn't recall why he was holding his powers for the one year after losing his memories. But the reason was very important and he did it
"Big brother… thank you…" He had almost finished healing all those that had needed. The girl he helped was also sleeping on her recovering mother's lap.
"Boy." Someone called him.
"Mr. Bellodana?" He didn't forget his manner as he turned and greet the person that pulled him out from the sea.
"Can you still stand?" The fanus man asked.
"I think so…" His body was extremely exhausted, it was never meant to handle the power he had inside. Getting up from his slump position on one of the infirmary beds, the boy was guided by the man's support.
"Could you… one more time." The fanus man had seen how the boy healed to point of making scars vanished and in the back of his mind, he had the idea that his daughter might be save from a scar future.
Lying on one of the bed was a girl with cat ears and tail and black hair that reached her shoulder blades. Though, the sleeping girl's condition was to the point of bandages around her head and chest and many other bandages that hid new scars.
"Is she someone important to you?" The boy curiously looked to the man.
"She is, she… mine and my wife's little girl."
"That's nice." He could sense the amount of truth in his words and the amount of a fatherly affection the fanus man carried.
"…." The boy also wondered at the fact that he will lose consciousness after using his healing powers one more time. Holding back his power was a thing his current body couldn't handle too long.
"I know you exhausted yourself helping the others and I thank you for that but please… she's still a child and this much scar and injury should never b-!"
"I'll do it!"
Two of his tails again for the many times extended and touched the space around the girl like a gentle touch on the surface of water.
"….." The fanus man gazed at the scene again where small spec of lights appeared around his daughter. It was both amazing and beautiful, amazing for being able to clear all her injuries as well as scars and beautiful for finishing the process with such gentle actions.
*thud!* the boy that had heal so many injuries in one night finally shut down and went to sleep. His body finally reached its limit but he was able to hold back the great power inside.
Kuo Kuana
Inside a house belonging to the current leader of the White fang, one boy was soundly sleeping on one of the guest room they had. There was also something strange happening, it can be said a good kind of strange.
For some reason the potted plants on the room's window were blooming with a shiny golden glow, in fact the whole room seems to be brighten up like a feeling of gentle warmth that could calm the heart to a certain degree.
"….."
A black pair of cat ears could be seen at the side of the bed, and ever time the boy move in his sleep the ears twitch.
"….." The boy sleeping on the bed finally woke up and his golden tails that was being used as a blanket slowly uncovers him.
"Here."
"?" The boy turned to found a girl he vaguely remembers holding out a glass of water to him.
"Thank you." He gave his thanks and slowly drinks the cool water.
"…." The girl had black hair with cat features. She was also sort of hiding as she peeks from the side of the bed.
"Did you really heal all of them?"
"….." The boy blinks a few times not clearly understanding before the memories of the other night came to surface.
"Mm." The boy nods and turns his attention to the cup he was gentle stroking. "But, it was all I could do. I couldn't help all of them."
He had to hold back so much power that it was impossible for him to heal those with lost limbs. If he hadn't held back… he knew it would change them since he couldn't grasp the depths of power for his memories being lost.
"*yawn~*" He was still a little sleepy so he wasn't fully aware of much of his surroundings like he would usually be.
"…." The young fanus cat girl knew the boy was talking about the people who lost their arms and legs.
She would've been one of them if her father hadn't arrived in time to pull of them back from the protest that turned violent. There were too many mechanical guard knights on the site after all.
"…." The boy now had his head on the girl's lap through the girl's quick reflex.
"I think you did plenty."
"Really?"
"Well… I don't know... but it's what my mom would say." The girl giggles while playing with the boy's golden soft locks.
"I'm Blake."
"It's nice to meet you." He gave her a lazy smile.
"What's yours?"
"I don't know." His answer will always be the same but it didn't really bother him much.
"…." The fanus girl titled her in confusing while looking down at the boy.
"Its fine, if you feel a little better. Wanna go outside?" The girl awkwardly asked since she wasn't used to talking with others much.
"Okay." The boy agreed with a better tone.
Blake was feeling really giddy for some reason. Holding the shorter and younger boy's hand made her feel like she had something very precious to look after and protect since she had been watching over him for the past few days he was unconscious.
She felt she has her own little brother despite knowing that the shorter boy was the one who saved from a future of scars.
…..
One hour later…
"Dad!"
Blake came back from her walk with the little boy with eight golden tails. But she came back alone.
"Blake? Did you run around chasing those street cats again?"
Ghiera was happy seeing his daughter walking around again without injuries but Khali on the other hand had a bad feeling seeing her daughter's shaken eyes. The woman also saw one person missing.
"Ghiera, something's wrong."
"?"
"!" Someone screamed from the outside.
"….." They exchanged looks and quickly decided.
"….." The cat fanus girl waited for her parents and was also feeling impatient.
"I don't know what happen but quickly Blake."
The three quickly move out and Ghiera finally notice the absence of their little blond hair boy. And without much delay they all move outside.
"Oh my…" Khali in shock covers her mouth.
"What the…" Ghiera on the other hand felt the need to gather all of his people to safety since whatever they were looking was not something that could be call normal.
"What is that!?"
"Is it a grim?"
"If it's a grim, why is its color yellow?"
"It kind of looks like an oversize fox."
"Is it going to attack us?!"
"Someone get the chief!"
Many of the fanus gather while some already ran away to the docks. They were all scared and in fear by the thing that suddenly came on the edge of their home.
"That's him! He's not a monster or grim!"
"Blake what do you mean?"
"It's the little boy who healed me!"
Seeing their daughter suddenly speaking out made them realized it might be true. The boy was a mystery to them and even held powers that could make modern medical techniques feel inferior but there were still some doubts. There was also the evidence of the number of tails on the large creature matches the boy's.
"….." It wasn't attacking them and it wasn't moving either. The thing just stood there on its hind legs staring off into space.
All of them continue to stare at the huge golden fox that had a solid but transparent body along with black markings. With its eight golden tails gentle standing up behind creating small gust of winds. The strangest thing was how no grims from the sea came after the amount of fear the fanus people were exerting. And to most the fox just stood there as if waiting for something.
And done!
