Chapter 31 Botherhood Wounds
(Beacon Classroom)
After Yang brought Ragna to the empty classroom, he was slightly confused as to what Yang wanted to talk about. For as long as Ragna knew Yang, he knows that Yang is a kind-hearted person. Even though she's bit of a hot-head, which is something that Ragna can relate to. He still sees Yang as a trusted friend and is glad to have known her. He's also able to see when Yang is dead serious about something and when she brought him to the empty classroom. Ragna figured that it was something important judging by the feeling of determination that Ragna is feeling from her.
"So you brought me to this empty classroom so that the both of us could talk?" Ragna asked Yang in a confused tone
"Yep classes are finished, and nobody comes to the classroom unless the Professors are here. I figured that since nobody will be coming here, it will give us a chance to talk with a lot of privacy." Yang said in a calm tone
"You thought this through, that's good. So . . . . um how are you and Makoto doing? I noticed that you two haven't been talking for a while." Ragna asked in an awkward tone
"We're doing good Ragna. I caught up to her and we talked about a few things. She explained to me why she was mad at me and I had to explain how I understand what I did to her. So we're good, and I promised her that I'll keep her on a need to know basis." Yang briefly explained to Ragna
"Oh . . . well it's good that the both of you patched things up." Ragna said still confused as to why the both of them are in the classroom
"We talked about a few things Ragna, and among the topics were you." Yang told Ragna as she was sitting on the table
"Oh yeah, well what is it about me that you guys are talking about?" Ragna asked while mentally on guard
"It's like this Ragna, Makoto told me that you haven't visited Jin in the Medical Wing of Beacon. To be honest it's a little concerning." Yang told Ragna causing him pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration
"Oh that, well there's no point in me visiting him. After all I doubt that an injury like that will keep the crybaby down forever." Ragna responded while being visibly uncomfortable with the topic
"Ragna, his injury may not keep him down forever, but it is common courtesy for an older sibling to visit their younger sibling when they are in the hospital bed." Yang told Ragna in a calm tone
"I have a history of ignoring things like common sense, or do you want to see my less than stellar grades? I'm surprised I'm not on academic probation by now." Ragna responded in a tone of a snarker
"Ragna, just because the both of you don't get along with each other or have the most pleasant past. That's no reason for you not to visit your brother." Yang told Ragna but quickly noticed that the statement irritated him
"Yang, don't take this the wrong way. But you don't know ANYTHING about my past or how I see things. Just because you saw where I grew up you think you can figure me out or tell me how I should treat Jin. Then I hate to disappoint you but there is a lot more to the story." Ragna told Yang in a low and frustrated tone
"I'm trying to understand you Ragna, but you're not telling me anything. Ever since I met you, I thought that you're a pretty cool guy. But the longer I've known you, the more I've noticed that you've been keeping a few things about yourself a secret. Like for example the fact that your master is one of the Six Heroes. I understand keeping it a secret out of respect for your master. But there are a few more things I'm concerned. Another example, is that you still haven't told us how you learned your weapon's new function. I know that there is a lot more to your weapon and the function Ragna. Otherwise it wouldn't have given you that level of power that allowed you to fight that guy." Yang explained to Ragna causing him to give her a focused look before continuing
"Now the one time where you can show common courtesy and show your brother kindness and concern. You don't even bother with paying him a visit, or not even trying to wish him well. Not to mention that even before what happened with Azrael, every time the both of you get close to each other, the both of you end up fighting or arguing." Yang told Ragna in a tone that is getting bolder and bolder
"Yang, I'm giving you a fair warning. You are treading some very dangerous grounds. So what exactly are you asking for Yang?" Ragna asked Yang
"I want to know why the both of you hate each other so much. You told me a few months ago that the both of you have a complicated relationship. But if you couldn't visit your brother when he's injured. Then there is a lot more to it than that. So I want you to explain it to me so I can help uncomplicate things." Yang told Ragna in a tone that has a moderate level of boldness to it
"Yang, you're asking me to tell you something personal from my past that I don't want to be reminded of. Do you see me demanding you to tell me something personal about you that you're not comfortable with? If not, then don't bother demanding the same thing from me." Ragna said as he was leaving. Though before he went too far, Yang stood up and blocked his path.
"Ragna, I'm not demanding anything I'm asking. You're my friend and an older sibling like me. It hurts my pride as an older sister to see you not are about your younger brother. But I see what you mean about me asking for something personal from your past. So how about this, you tell me the full story so I can understand the full story. If you do, then you have my word that I won't judge you, and I will tell you something about my past that is personal to me. Please Ragna, I'm not trying to demand anything I just want to help." Yang demanded to Ragna
Ragna was having conflicting thoughts right now. On one hand, he didn't owe Yang an explanation. Even though he sees her as a friend, the blonde brawler is treading grounds That Ragna takes personally. Under normal circumstances, Ragna would tear the person apart for demanding an answer from him regarding his past with his brother. Though on the other hand, Ragna hated to admit it but Yang does have a point about common courtesy regarding his brother. For the past few days, Ragna has struggled to visit Jin but didn't allow it to be known or shown. A part of Ragna wants to bury the hatchet, but there is a part of him that refuses to do so.
"If I tell you about my past, you won't judge me in any way and you'll tell me something personal from your past?" Ragna asked in a cautious tone
"Of course Ragna, and I'll even try to help you mend things with Jin." Yang said in a reassuring tone before Ragna took a deep breath
"Have you ever done something that seemed like a good idea at first. But looking back on it, it turned out to be one of the worst ideas you've ever had?" Ragna asked Yang
"I did Ragna, I don't look back on it often. But trust me I know the exact feeling." Yang responded to Ragna's question
"In order for me to explain why me and Jin are trying to tear each apart. I have to tell you what things were like initially. You see Jin wasn't like the person you guys know. In fact he was a clinging crybaby who would wine at the smallest things. When we were kids, I was always the one who he clung to. But after a while, I got irritated and wanted Jin to man up. Even Saya, our little sister wasn't as much of a crybaby compared to him." Ragna said before he went into more details
(The Church)
(8 Years ago)
"Get up we're going to try again." Young Ragna said to Jin after knocking him down with his wooden sword
"But brother, I keep getting hurt. Please stop hurting me so badly." Young Jin said after getting knocked down by his brother
"This is training, you're supposed to get hurt. You're also supposed to hit back and get better at this. But you're not getting better at all are you. The only thing your doing is just getting hit and crying about it you crybaby. Even Saya is less of a crybaby than you, and she's our little sister." Young Ragna said in a tone of frustration
"He's doing his best Ragna, please don't be too hard on him." Young Saya said in a pleading tone
"This is good for him Saya, so stay out of this. As for you crybaby, get up and let's do this again." Young Ragna said in a demanding tone
"But . . . ." Young Jin muttered before Ragna yelled
"GET UP CRYBABY!" Young Ragna yelled quickly scaring Jin before he got up and holding his own wooden sword
"Now let's get back to it." Young Ragna said before he ran towards Jin
Ragna spent a few seconds swinging at Jin while aiming for his head. Jin spent the entire time blocking Ragna's attacks while being pushed back. This kept up for a few seconds before Ragna quickly sweep kicked Jin's legs causing him to fall over. When Young Ragna swung his wooden sword down, Jin was able to block the attack from young Ragna. Unfortunately for young Jin, Ragna kept swinging the wooden sword down at Jin and didn't let up for a moment. Young Jin rolled to the side and tried to get up. But Ragna was able to hit him with his wooden sword. The attack caused Jin to fall again and Ragna stepped back to give Jin a chance to get up. After Jin got up, Ragna attacked him again with the wooden sword. Jin was able to block the attacks from young Ragna. But eventually, the younger brother was knocked down and in a few seconds he started to cry.
"Dang it Jin, this is the fourth time you started crying. I wouldn't be surprised if the Grimm let you live out of pity." Young Ragna said in a tone that is a mix of mocking and frustrating
"Ragna don't be so hard on him. He's not as strong as you and he's still your younger brother." Celica said after she approached the siblings
"I have to be hard on him, if he doesn't toughen up. Then the Grimm will tear him apart and I won't be there to save him." Young Ragna said to Celica
"But Ragna, you have to remember that the both of you are still kids. I know that it's good to be prepared. But you can't rush things like getting stronger. You have to give it time and patients." Celica said to Ragna in a kind and gentle tone
"Well we all know I'm not the type of person to be patient. Come on Jin, we'll keep going until you get better." Ragna told Jin before they practiced again
(The Classroom)
(Present Time)
"Wow, sounds like you were tough on your little brother." Yang told Ragna after listening
"Yeah, but can you really blame me. Jin always cried for the smallest things and after a while I started to get sick of it. We didn't really spend much time with the other orphans, so it was always just us. Sister Celica was there for us no questions asked, but I had to step up to take care of my brother and sister." Ragna told Yang explaining his reason for being hard on Jin when they were kids
"I can relate Ragna, me and Ruby have our dad. But I had to step up and keep things together. A lot of things happened when were young, and dad was always busy. It was hard, and Ruby couldn't even talk. So I understand why you were tough on Jin, but a part of me think that you took a few things a little overboard." Yang briefly explained to Ragna
"You have to be tough on people if they can handle themselves in a tough world. I've been trying to toughen him up for months and there has been too little progress. Then one day there was a Grimm attack and it led to a decision I would never forget about." Ragna said before he told the story of the Grimm attack
(The Church)
(8 years ago)
Ragna was near his siblings while there was a lot of noise made outside. Even though Ragna didn't see anything before being rushed inside. He was able to figure out that it was a Grimm attack due to overhearing the other adults talking. The sibling trio wasn't too close to anyone but Ragna saw Sister Celica treating people who were wounded. The people that were being treated by Sister Celica are other orphans who were attacked by the Grimm, and the other adults who were also attacked. While Jin and Saya were scared, Ragna on the other hand was looking for something he could use as a weapon. After Ragna found what he wanted he quickly went to the door before Sister Celica saw him and stopped him.
"Ragna its too dangerous out there, stay here with us." Celica said while holding his arm
"But Sister Celica I'm the best fighter out of all of us, I can help." Ragna said trying to get Sister Celica to let go
"Ragna, it's too danger for you to go out there right now. I know you want to do something. But the best way you can help is to stay here where its safe. Being beside Jin and Saya." Sister Celica said in a pleading tone to Ragna
"But I can do a lot more than be with them. I want to help deal with what's out there!" Ragna said before the noise outside stopped. After a few seconds have passed, a Huntsman and Huntress have entered the Church getting everyone's attention
"Everyone, it's safe to come outside now. We were able to get rid of the Grimm that came to the area." The Huntsman said much to everyone's relief
"For a few days do not wander too far into the area. There is a chance that there might be more Grimm in the area. We'll be here for a while trying to exterminate them to ensure they are no longer a threat." The Huntress said before the both of them left. Before the both of them went too far Ragna stopped them to ask them a question
"Hey, is there anything I can do to help deal with the Grimm." Young Ragna asked the Huntsman and Huntress
"Don't worry about stuff like that. The best thing you can do is be with the other kids." The Huntress said to Young Ragna slightly irritating him
"But I'm the best fighter out of everyone here. In fact, I would have come out sooner if I wasn't stopped. Come on guys, give me a chance to deal with those monsters." Young Ragna said to the Huntsman and Huntress before one of them gave him a stern gaze
"Listen, don't take the fact that you're a kid for granted. I see that your eager to want to fight the Grimm. But you don't know the reality of what dealing with those creatures on the daily basis mean. Don't be quick to throw your life away, because you'll be surprised to know how often we have to save kids like you." The Huntsman said before him and his partner left
"Ragna, I know that you want to help, but the both of them have a point. You don't know what it's like to have to deal with the Grimm. People have been trained to fight them and it takes years to do it. I know your strong, but there are other ways to be strong that doesn't require you to fight the Grimm." Celica said before she proceeded to heal the other people in the Church before they left. While Young Ragna was frustrated at what he was told about the reality of fighting monsters
(The Classroom)
(Present Time)
"Was it often that you've had to deal the Grimm back at the Church?" Yang asked Ragna
"Nah, for a very long time we never had to deal with the Grimm. Some of the people who live near us survived the Grimm attack and warned us that the Grimm was coming. After we were warned, all of us were brought to the Church since it was so spacious and has a lot of room. I wanted to help since I was a good fighter. But the fact that I couldn't, made me mad and I wanted to find a way to prove myself. A few days later, we were told that most of the Grimm are gone and we could travel again. But I heard a rumor, that there was a small hoard of Grimm that was nearby. Because of that rumor, I had an idea that would kill two birds with one stone. The idea was for me to kill the small hoard of Grimm and it would be a way to show that I'm capable. I also figured that I should bring Jin along, since I figured that him seeing the Grimm in person and see them die would toughen him up and make him less of a crybaby." Ranga explained to Yang with her listening to every word
"So you brought your younger brother along to look for a hoard of Grimm?" Yang asked Ragna in a slightly concerned tone
"Yeah, but if I'd have known what was going to happen. I would have just went by myself. Because that day was the start of the feud between me and my brother." Ragna said before he started to tell the story of what happened on the day he took Jin to the forest
(The Church)
(8 years ago)
"Big Brother this isn't a good idea, we could get hurt out there. We should just stay here where its safe." Young Jin said pleading with Young Ragna not to go looking for the Grimm
"Jin, you can't be a whiny baby all your life hiding behind someone for protection. One of these days you're going to have to stop crying and grow a spine." Young Ragna said after he was packing supplies and getting the metal weapon he made. Before the brothers left, they heard a young female voie
"Ragna, Jin, what are the both of you doing?" Saya asked after seeing the brothers before they left. Before Jin could answer, Ragna quickly spoke stopping Jin
"We're going out to prove ourselves and become men. Just keep quiet about it and we'll be back soon. Also, don't wake up Sister Celica and tell her about this. She'll just get worried and won't let us go." Young Ragna told Saya before they quickly left
(The Forest)
Young Ragna and Jin have been in the forest for almost an hour, but so far there have been no sightings of any Grimm. Ragna was focused on looking for the Grimm and constantly observed the surroundings for a sign of some kind. Though his patience has been tested a few times because Jin spent the entire time telling Ragna to go back the Church where it's safer. Ragna wanted to find a way to toughen Jin up, since the spars wasn't doing much good.
"Brother, we really need to get back to the Church. I know that you want to fight the Grimm, but we haven't seen the Grimm before and we don't know what to expect. Please brother, we can't do this." Young Jin aid pleading with Ragna to go back to the church.
"You have to grow a backbone Jin, I know that you like to cry fifteen times a day and keep being afraid of the moon. But you can't cry every day and expect me to . . ." Young Ragna was saying before he heard some noise at a distance. After hearing the noise, Ragna and Jin was quiet for a moment. Ragna listened deeply for a moment before he heard a light growl at a distance
"I hear some Grimm, come on crybaby. This is our chance to get something done and prove ourselves. Who knows, maybe this'll be what makes a man out of you." Ragna said before he took Jin and ran towards the source of the noise.
It didn't take the brothers too long to get the spot they wanted to get to. When the brothers arrived, they noticed that a part of the forest looked damaged but there was no sign of the Grimm. The brothers looked around and herd the sound of footsteps but was cautious of the area. After they moved around the area for a few minutes. A large creature appeared from the area and got between the brothers. When Ragna looked at the large creature, he saw the Grimm for the first time. The Grimm was large and overwhelming, towering Ragna while giving him a murderous glare. After a few more seconds have passed, more Grimm started to appear and quickly surrounded Ragna and Jin.
Br . . . Brother, what are we going to do?" Jin said in a terrified tone while looking at the Grimm that was surrounding the both of them
"We fight, what do you think!" Ragna yelled before he attacked one of the Grimm with his metal stick. When Ragna hit the Grimm, the metal stick was knocked back off of the Grimm and Ragna was surprised. Before Ragna could do anything further, the Ursa Grimm smacked Ragna against the nearby tree. Ragna tried to recover, but he was having a hard time standing up.
"Brother, help me!" Young Jin said while the other Grimm approached him. Jin was smacked around by the Ursa Grimm. Jin recovered enough strength to try to run, but the Grimm proved to be faster. When the Grimm caught up to Jin, it smacked Jin even deeper into the forest.
JIN!" Ragna yelled while trying to avoid the Grimm. Ragna was unable to do so, but he was knocked away from the Grimm. Ragna quickly looked around and saw no sign of his brother. After seeing some of the Grimm head towards him. Ragna gritted his teeth and decided to run away. As he was running, he saw a steep cliff and jumped towards it. Ragna was able to slide down the cliff very quickly and managed to get away from the Grimm. When Ragna looked around after he stood up, he quickly noticed that the Grimm were gone.
"JIN, WHERE ARE YOU?" Ragna yelled out before realizing that Jin is gone. Ragna looked around even further and was coming to the realization that Jin wasn't around him. After thinking for a brief moment, Ragna decided to go back to the church despite his injuries while dreading to tell the truth of what happened.
(The Church)
It took a while for Young Ragna to get back to the church. Though for him, it felt like days and his injuries weren't making things any better. When he arrived, he noticed Sister Celica cleaning around the Church while Saya was helping her. When Ragna started to get closer to the Church, Celica and Saya saw him and started to approach him. When Celica saw him injured, she rushed to Ragna with a concerned look on her face.
"It looks like you were having an adventure and got hurt. I hope you weren't roughhousing with Jin." Sister Celica said as she was cleaning Ragna. When she looked into the forest she had a strange and ominous feeling. After having this feeling, she looked at Ragna with a concerned look
"Ragna, where is Jin?" Celica asked Ragna in a concerned tone
"There . . . there was nothing I could do." Ragna muttered which Celica heard and started to have a panicked look on her face
"RAGNA, WHERE IS JIN?" Celica yelled with a look and tone of panic
"There was nothing I could do. He was too much of a crybaby for me to do anything." Ragna said with a small tear in his eyes
"OH NO, JIN!" Celica yelled before she started to run into the forest.
"Don't worry, I got him." A gruff male voice said getting Celica's attention. When Celica, Saya, and Ragna looked to see who it was. They saw a cat Faunus wearing a yellow hood, carrying young Jin on his back.
"Jubei, oh thank you." Celica said to Jubei in a tone of relief as she was running to him
"It's a good thing I was around when I was. Otherwise things wouldn't have turned out like this. He'll be alright, Jin's just unconscious. The Grimm messed him up pretty badly though. Fortunately there's nothing permanent, just a few bruises but he'll be healed up soon once he gets some rest and treatment." Jubei told Celica while she was sobbing tears of joy
"Thank you Jubei, I'll take him inside right away to get treated." Celica said as she was quickly grabbing Jin and bringing him inside to get treated
"Brother, help . . ." Young Jin muttered as he was being taken inside
(Moments Later)
It took Sister Celica a few hours to treat Jin but she was successful. Juei the one who saved Jin had left as quickly as he arrived but assured Celica that he will be alright. For the duration of the hours, Ragna was silent thinking about recent events. Ragna believed that he was doing good by Jin. But there is a part of Young Ragna that is making him thinking about how things could have been handled differently if Ragna didn't bring Jin along. After a good deal of time has passed, Celica came out of the room after she finished treating Jin.
"Ragna, I'm not angry with you but I'm disappointed. I don't know why you would go and put yourself and your brother in danger like that. But that's not supposed to matter right now. You can see Jin, and I expect you to do the right thing." Celica said before she brought Ragna inside the room
When Ragna saw Jin, he noticed that Jin was wrapped in bandages. From the looks of things, Jin has been treated for a good deal of time. From the look of things, Jin will make a good recovery given time. Unfortunately, the events of what happened still lingered in the brothers minds. Before Ragna approached Jin further, Sister Celica stood between Ragna and Jin before she started speaking.
"Jin, I did the best I could treating you. So the only thing you should do for now is rest. Ragna, don't you have something you want to say to Jin?" Celica asked Ragna in a stern tone
"If you weren't so much of a crybaby, then you wouldn't have gotten hurt the way you did!" Ragna yelled which surprised Jin and Celica
"Ragna, you put him in that danger in the first place. The least you can do is apologize and try to make things right with him." Celica said to Ragna in a stern tone
"I'm right Sister Celica and you both know it. Every time he cries because he thinks the moon is falling, I let him sleep with me on the bed. When he whines because he doesn't want to be alone, I'm the one who has to reassure him. Saya doesn't cry as much as he does, and she's younger than him! He has to man up at some point, and if he can't handle himself now. Then he's as good as dead!" Ragna yelled venting a good deal of his frustration out
"RAGNA THAT'S ENOUGH!" Celica yelled trying to get Ragna to stop talking. But before Celica could do much of anything. Jin started to cry as he was talking
"Fine. . . . I don't need you. I can get stronger on my own. Your nothing but a hot-tempered bully." Jin said as he was crying
"Good, maybe I can actually get stronger without you holding me back!" Ragna yelled before Celica pushed him out of the room
(The Classroom)
(Present Time)
"I see, in trying to make Jin stronger you took him to fight some Grimm. But you underestimated the strength of the Grimm and the both of you got hurt. However, you couldn't do anything to help Jin and you could only save yourself. Though Jubei was able to save your brother, in Jin's eyes you left him for dead. Your reaction in the aftermath didn't help anything." Yang said summarizing what she learned
"For years I've always looked out for him. But as I got older it became very tiring. I know that I couldn't be there forever, so I figured that I should toughen him up. I didn't think things would end that badly though and looking back on it, it was one of the stupidest things I've done. A kid taking another kid to look for the Grimm. We're lucky that we didn't get killed." Ragna told Yang while thinking back on his careless actions as a kid
"It's hard to believe that the Jin we know is like the way you described him in the past. I'm surprised that he didn't try to get revenge on you." Yang commented to Ragna after hearing what happened
"Actually Yang, he did a few weeks later. It was around that time when he acquired his Aura Weapon, and I learned its functions the hard way." Ragna said before he told her the rest of the story
(The Lake)
(8 Years Ago)
It has been a few weeks since Ragna and Jin went to the forest looking for the Grimm. For the most part, everything seemed to have calmed down except for a potential issue. Ragna and Jin haven't spoken to each other ever since that day. Though Sister Celica spent a couple of days trying to get the brothers to mend things, the attempts ended in failure. Eventually she decided to trust the brothers to work things out on their own. Saya has spent a good deal of her time getting along with Ragna and Jin. While trying to see what was wrong with each of the brothers. Though there has been no success on her part. Since the rest of the Grimm have been dealt with, the forest is safe for travel, and Ragna went to the river to do some calming fishing.
"It's been very peaceful for a while. That crybaby hasn't bugged me about anything. Looks like he was able to man up after all. I am curious about where he goes to by himself. But as long as that crybaby isn't holding me back or doing something stupid. It doesn't matter." Young Ragna said as he was fishing. A few more minutes later, Ragna decided to get up and go back to the Church after he caught a moderate amount of fish. Before Ragna went too far though. He felt a strong slash at his right shoulder, after Ragna was hit, his body started to get frozen before he was frozen completely exept for his head. When Ragna looked to see who it was that attacked him, he saw that it was his younger brother Jin holding a blue sword.
"JIN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GET ME OUT OF THIS ICE NOW!" Young Ragna yelled while shaking to get freed
"Now you'll see how it feels to be left for dead and considered worthless." Young Jin said before he walked away while his sword disappeared
"JIN, GET BACK HERE YOU DAMN CRYBABY! JIN!" Ragna kept yelling even after Jin walked away. As Ragna was yelling for Jin to return, he was filled with a great deal of anger and hate for his brother.
The very feeling of negativity that attracts the Grimm and, in a short time, a Beowolf Grimm appeared. When Ragna saw the Grimm, he struggled even harder to get out of the ice. The Grimm quickly smacked Ragna against a nearby rock and broke the ice that Ragna was trapped in. Before Ragna could get away, the Grimm bit into Ragna's right arm trying to rip it off like a piece of meat. After the Grimm bit into Ragna's arm, he was filled with a powerful sensation and eventually emitted a strong burst of aura that pushed back the Grimm. After Ragna radiated the burst of aura, his blonde hair turned white, and his right eye turned red. While filled with his rage, Ragna threw a punch at the Beowolf Grimm and killed it with ease. After Ragna killed the Grimm, he yelled into the sky in a fit of rage and his newfound pain at his right arm.
(The Church)
Ragna struggled to get back to the church after the events at the lake. The pain on his arm has gradually healed, but the memry is still fresh on his mind. Though one thing is clear to Ragna and it is the person to blame for his newfound situation. Ragna quickly came to terms with his newfound appearance and was focused on his new task. When Ragna returned to the Church, he saw Jin standing outside and his body became filled with his rage once again.
"THERE YOU ARE JIN!" Ragna yelled with a good deal of rage and hate before he ran towards him, while generating his new power.
When Ragna got close though, Jin quickly drew his newfound sword and pointed the weapon at Ragna. The weapon didn't intimidate Ragna, since he ran towards Jin and tackled him to the ground. Ragna proceeded to repeatedly punch Jin while holding nothing back. Jin on the other hand used his sword to cut Ragna's arm and was able to freeze it. After that, Jin was able to kick Ragna off and tried to attack him again. Almost immediately, Ragna was able to break out of the ice and punch Jin on the side of his face. Jin quickly recovered and was able to cut Ragna's stomach. This time Ragna's body didn't freeze, but he did feel a good deal of pain. Ragna ignored the pain and still kept charging at Jin. The brothers kept fighting for a few more minutes until Sister Celica showed up and separated the brothers.
"RAGNA, JIN STOP IT!" Sister Celica yelled after she separated the two. When Celica looked at Ragna, she was surprised to see that his hair and eye has changed.
"Ragna, what happened to you?" Celica asked in a concerned tone
"This bastard is what happened. He froze me with his sword and left me alone. Then the Grimm attacked and then all of a sudden I felt a lot of power and destroyed the Grimm!" Ragna yelled before Celica looked at Jin and noticed the sword. When Celica took a look at the sword, she had a look on her face that was a look of surprise and worry.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing, its Yukianesa." Celica muttered before she looked back at the brothers and found herself pushing the brothers away again
"This hot-headed moron brought me into the forest and the Grimm attacked me while he ran. He even has the galls to say I'm holding him back. I had to teach him a lesson and he got what he deserved!" Jin yelled back before the two tried to go for each other again. But this time, Celica put more strength into the effort and the two brothers were able to be separated
"Listen, I know that the two of you are furious with each other. But that is no reason to try to kill each other. I don't want to do this, but the both of you two to be separated unless we're eating. Your also not to speak to each other unless you two are apologizing to each other." Sister Celica said before she took Ragna inside to treat him for injuries
(The Classroom)
(Present Time)
"For a while Saya and Celica kept trying to get us to patch things up between me and Jin. But the fact that we still kept trying to kill each other is proof that the attempts didn't work. After a few months, Jin found himself taking an advance test and got top marks for it. His test scores is what allowed him to get adopted into some fancy family. Back then it was also when he first acquired his Aura Weapon. Most people would think that we wold have gotten over it. But the reality is that we didn't, sometimes he would visit us after getting adopted, but we still kept fighting each other fiercely. Thinking back on it, I don't think Jin knew that there was a Grimm nearby, since I was fishing in a area where there was no Grimm. But when he froze me, I was giving off a lot of negativity which attracted the Grimm. Since we don't deal with the Grimm often, I bet that he didn't know that negativity attracted the Grimm either. But it didn't stop us from wanting to kill each other." Ragna finished explaining to Yang about the story of his past and why the brothers want to fight each other the way they do
"I see, now I understand the full story now. I have to ask again though, do you hate your brother, or better yet do you want to patch things up with him?" Yang asked in a concerned tone
"My answer hasn't changed Yang, things are just too complicated. We were young and stupid so of course there's a part of me that wants to patch things up. But at the same time, we did too much harm against each other and said a lot of things. Not to mention that a lot of time have passed and I think it might be too late. Honestly, I just don't know anymore." Ragna answered Yang causing her to take a deep breath
"You know, your actually similar to me Ragna. I told Makoto the story of what things were like when I was a kid. I even told her the story of how me and Ruby hare the same father but different mothers. Makoto know that my birth mother abandoned me when I was a kid. What I didn't tell Makoto is that I did something incredibly stupid." Yang told Ragna before she started to tell her story to him
"I spent a long time asking as many people as I could about my mother. Eventually I found something, and I was determined to find her. So I waited until my dad left so I can set out on my mission. I put Ruby in a wagon and walked to the destination. I walked for hours and I had a lot of cuts and bruises on my body, but I didn't care and kept going. Eventually I made it, but I was exhausted beyond belief. When I looked, I was face to face with a lot of Grimm. A little girl that was sleeping, and a stupid girl who was too tired to yell for help. We might as well have been on a silver platter. If it wasn't for my uncle Qrow, me and my sister would have ended up dead." Yang told Ragna while he had a thoughtful look on his face
"Similar to what I did." Ragna commented before Yang continued to speak further
"The difference between what I did and what you did is that you had good intentions at least. Though you didn't think any of it through, you had good intentions. Me on the other hand, I was selfish thinking of only myself and I put Ruby in danger because of my own selfishness. Ruby still loves me, but I don't want to do that to her again. Ragna, I know that it'll take a lot of time and effort, but I want to help you mend things with your brother. But I think that what will be a big step in making things right is for you to say something that will mean a lot to him." Yang explained to Ragna
"What are those words Yang?" Ragna asked in a curious tone
"The words are, I'm sorry." Yagna answered which surprised Ragna
"Hmm, no promises but thanks for the effort. Also thank you for not giving me too much crap over what happened when I was a kid." Ragna said in a grateful tone
"Anytime Ragna, it's important for us to trust each other. So I have to ask, is there anything that you want to tell me? Anything at all that your worried about or want to get off your chest?" Yang asked in a concerned tone
When Yang asked the question, Ragna thought that it was a good opportunity for her to learn about a lot of the things that Ragna has learned since the start of the second semester. Things such as Nu attacking him and learning that both him and Nu contain a half of the Aura Beast. As well as the mystery that is the Murakumo Labs. Not to mention the image of a girl in immense pain while begging for death. This was a good chance for Ragna to tell Yang about these things while also voicing his disapproval of the General bringing his army. If Ragna tells Yang these things, he might unintentionally put her in a danger that could be too overwhelming. Not to mention that if Ragna and seven other people couldn't handle Azrael. Then what does that mean for the type of danger that Ragna himself was getting into. After mentally comparing the pros and cons of each decision. Ragna decided to answer Yang's question.
"No, there's nothing going on." Ragna answered mentally deciding to not tell Yang anything while feeling a small amount of guilt.
"I understand Ragna, also thank you for trusting me with your past. It won't be easy, but I know that we'll find a way for you to mend things with your brother. But first we need to get ready for the dance that's coming soon and you're going to help with the preparations." Yang said with a good deal of confidence
"Sure but when did I agree to help with the dance?" Ragna said in a slightly confused tone but had no problem with helping with the dance preparations

"Hehehehe soon Ragna, the time will come and I will be able to kill you. Once I do so, we shall become one and I will be free from my pain because of the Murakumo labs." Nu muttered while looking outside the window which was noticed by Cinder.
After taking a quick glance at Nu, Cinder went back to her scroll and was going over the list for her long-term plans. As she was doing it, she received a video from Hazama and decided to watch it. The video was of Ragna, Makoto, and Noel killing the Grimm. What stood out to her, is when Ragna came across Celica and Saya in the video and he decided to withdraw for their safety. Cinder also heard enough of their conversation to figure out that Ragna knows the two people and cares about them.
"Well, it appears Ragna does have some people he cares about." Cinder commented before she watched the other videos that was attached. Which contained footage of the teams fighting other Grimm from Professor Goodwitch's recent assignment.
(A/N)
I'm fully aware of the role that Terumi had in ruining Ragna's life and creating the feud between Ragna and Jin in the main Blazblue story. In this story, Terumi didn't ruin Ragna's life, but I still wanted to keep the feud alive since its still iconic. Rest assured I have a few ideas for the brothers to settle things, but they will not stop fighting each other anytime soon. As for Ragna's hatred for Terumi that's well known in the main Blazblue games. Something will happen that will make Ragna hate Terumi immensely in this story, I can't give a hint but the hate for Terumi will still be in this story.
Also a quick question, how am I doing with Makoto in this story. There's no special reason I'm just curious.
So read and review
Thank you
