Here we go guys, good news. I will be continuing this story albeit with a slightly different style of writing. I wish I could write as much as I did before, but nowadays that is simply too difficult and mentally tiring. I don't know what happened, I started writing when I was 17 and now I'm 20 and in that time I had to grow enough to become an adult. Two years had more value to me than my entire time in school… Yeah, that's a thing. So glad I got every type of anxiety imaginable so I can get a piece of paper that tells me good job for surviving high school.

On that note, I have some plans to continue one of my other stories with the aim of finishing it quickly. Most of these chapters I write in just one day, other times I write it within two days, and since that story is the closest to being completed, I was thinking of spending the next few weeks focusing on that story and completing it. That way I don't have to write four stories back to back every other day anymore. Three is still a lot, but it's going to be much more manageable.

On another note, I don't remember if I said this before, but I finally figured out the grand plan for my life. I want to be a writer, a story writer. Once I am done with my current stories and one more on the way I want to write a completely original story that comes purely from my brain. With the help of a friend, I want to write this story with the hopes that it becomes something that people across the world can talk about. With that in mind, SOME plans has been shortened down to make things a little more simple. Not everything mind you, but just enough to make it a little easier for me.

With that said, wish me luck. I'll just have to keep moving forward and see what 2020 has in store for me.

The Blind Huntsman

Chapter 68- Volume 2, Episode 11

The Weight

Ozpin effortlessly twisted his cane to the side and deflected the silver-black blade, causing white sparks to scatter across the floor beneath them. Kai recovered well and continued in his assault, though Ozpin read each and every move he made just by looking at the micro-movements in the muscles on his arms and movements of his legs. The blind boy fought well, but he had over a millennia of experience. Ozpin expertly defended against the prodigal boy for the next five minutes without countering. The boy wouldn't learn anything if he simply overpowered him and defeated him every time he made a mistake. Not everyone was like the old man that he was, Kai would have been able to get away with much more if he wasn't training against him specifically.

Finally, Kai's stamina hit it's lowest point and he had to stop swinging his weapon lest he hurt himself. Dropping down to one knee, he wiped the sweat off of his face and flicked it to the side.

"Better," Ozpin complimented, satisfied with their lighter training session. "You're movements are more calm and calculated than before, which was more wild and powerful." The headmaster smiled as he conducted the assessment. Days have passed since Qrow took the two teams out to conduct the raid on the warehouse. It truly was a surprise that it turned out to be an ambush already set up by Tyrian Callows and Hazel Rainhart of all people, but he was extremely relieved to find out that no one was hurt too badly. He was less relieved when he was told about Kai's sudden new silver-eyed ability. He is, of course, aware of most of the abilities an S.E.W was capable of, but one that cast blacklight and turns people to stone was not one that he was familiar with and disappointingly enough the news has gotten out to the rest of Team KRBR. Miss Rose had to know sooner or later, but it seemed that the precious weakness of emotion got to the two silver-eyed ones before he could advise them to let it remain a secret. Thankfully, he can trust in their promises to not let this knowledge expand beyond their team.

"Tell me," His expression remained compliant as he looked down to the blind boy, who was just pushing himself back on his feet. "What has brought this sudden change of calmness within you? Not that I am complaining, it is certainly a welcome change of pace for you."

Kai shrugged his shoulders and sheathed his weapon. "I just decided that after that ambush and after what happened, it'd be better if I took it easy until the school dance."

"And you are not angry with Tyrian's actions?" Ozpin tested the waters, it was unlike teenage boys to get over such events so easily, especially when it came to a good friend and confidante. He expected him to be seeking revenge, not relaxing and taking it easy.

"Of course I am," Kai growled in that tone Ozpin was much more familiar with. "But what are the chances that I can find him again let alone beat him by myself? It's just stupid, I'll make him pay for hurting Ruby like he did later."

He would have appreciated him wording it in a slightly more approving way, but Ozpin accepted the improvement for what it was. It seemed that Qrow's warning while warranted was not something that was going to be tested and pushed. For now, at least.

"Good thinking, I am proud that I don't need to be the one to tell you that."

Kai simply snorted and did a few quick stretched before he decided that he has spent enough time with the headmaster as it is. When the boy asked to leave Ozpin allowed it, training wasn't training unless one truly wanted to improve, and Kai has trained much more than he was aware of at the time. Malikai's advice before he died was certainly held up in a bright light when it came to his son. Train, train, and train some more. Honestly, he was starting to wonder when Kai was going to finally pass out while training with him one day.

His office was a mess again, but it was nothing that he couldn't clean later and so he went back to his desk and returned to his duty as a headmaster after wiping his hands of sweat with the cloth in his front left pocket. He still remembered when Kai and his team sat in four chairs in front of him with Qrow by his side. Qrow managed to convince him to let the two other members of Team KRBR attend that meeting with Kai and Ruby since they already knew about the silver eyes, and begrudgingly, Ozpin had to accept those terms. With Orchid and Blake knowing and already being so close to Kai and Ruby, they would have found out what happened in the meeting even if he didn't allow them to come.

The initial news surprised him. A hundred terrorist petrified and turned to stone, Kai causing chaos with his apparently enhanced semblance and the overall havoc that reigned on every front of that raid. Keeping track of it all was almost difficult, but he focused the most on the events that transpired before Kai released his dark silver eye powers. Anger, a great amount of anger. A significant feeling of betrayal and hopelessness, the ambush catching him off guard and of course, Ruby getting caught and maimed by Tyrian. It seemed that Kai was able to control the power for a surprising amount of time, simply using it to generally enhance him across all stats. Before he let it burst out of him, he was using his semblance and only his semblance to keep back Neo and all of the White Fang. He couldn't tell him what he felt after it happened, but Ruby was able to inform them on what happened to him during the activation.

He laughed. The blind boy that he has kept tabs on for most of his life laughed. Kai didn't remember laughing and he was sure that he wouldn't laugh in a situation like that. Especially when it came to ending the lives of others, and while Ozpin and the rest of his team believed him without hesitation, it was still a cause for concern. It was while he was subtly asking him questions that involved the topic of his mental health. If he was going to be an asset to use against Salem, Ozpin would most prefer if his mind was healthy as well.

However, another surprise made him put his attention on Miss Rose. He was able to control — or at least halt Mister Matsuoka while he was exploding with power using her own eyes. As she meekly explained it, she simply stood, grabbed him and stared into his eyes while activating her own power. The white burned away the black, and Mister Matsuoka passed out right after that. Whether or not Miss Rose did that on purpose, he was right to put the two of them on the same team. At first, he thought that it might have been too risky to keep so much power concentrated into a single team, but now he was glad to make the official call and put them together.

After they were done having that conversation and making them all promise to keep this knowledge to themselves, he brought up the greatest concern he had left with Qrow. The fact that no one thought to continue the battle after Kai let his new power explode. He was unconscious, Ruby was injured, and everyone else was exhausted while Qrow was being distracted by Adam. Tyrian could have easily done what he did best and kill them all if he really wanted to, so why didn't he? It just didn't add up, why not kill or capture either of the silver-eyed warriors when they had the chance? They had to know that both of them were working to become Ozpin's next greatest allies.

As always, Salem always found a way to make him wonder. The worst part about it was that he didn't know what she was planning to do having Cinder and so many of her allies in Vale at the same time. Ever since the raid, there has been some light encounters with the White Fang, but they were only light. Nothing nearly as serious as what has been happening these past few months. They were planning something, and if his assumption was correct, Amber was part of those plans.

He had General Ironwood increase surveillance and security down in the basement as a precaution. He couldn't have any live guards for obvious reasons for keeping secrets, but Amber was more secure than ever before.

He shook his head and reassured himself that she was in no immediate danger. What the more prominent concern was the Matsuoka bloodline rearing its ugly head again. Tyrian revealed things that should have been buried for the rest of that life. As much as he wanted to be, he was not an expert on the exact events of what transpired in order to get to the point he was able to keep track of. It started with Malikai's father Mal, then to Malikai himself, who was his greatest ally for many years, and now to Kai. He couldn't see any sign of 'engrained betrayal' within any of them, yet…

Summer Rose died of mysterious circumstances and the body was never found, and right after that Malikai took his family and left to Vacuo. It could have been a coincidence, Gods he hoped it was a coincidence… But Kai has never betrayed his friends and family, he loved them too much and even if his mental state was not exactly stable he'd never do anything to hurt them. He'd have to trust the boy but look out for those signs that he praised himself to be so good at detecting. So far, the only concern he had for Kai was for his next outburst. When would it happen? How would those dark activations affect him? Could it kill? He dared not to hope that it could do something substantial to Salem, but there was always that 'What if?'

Shaking his head of such thoughts, he'd already planned far ahead in more than enough cases the worst things happen. Right now in this life, he was the headmaster of Beacon, and the work wouldn't do itself.

Adam Taurus felt the sweat drip off of his nose as he sheathed his sword once more. His hair and clothing glowed red as he activated Moonslice once again, and then swung his sword in a wide horizontal arc toward the wall with a hastily drawn target on the front of it.

The wall received a blast of cutting red-black energy and its deep gash slashed through it. Yet another to add to the collection of hundreds of deep cuts into the very thick brick wall. He almost wasn't satisfied with the damage and wanted to cause more, but he knew that if he pushed himself any further he was liable to make himself collapse. He was in the best shape he has ever been in any way, there was no need to go any further no matter how he wanted too in order to blow off a great amount of steam.

The ambush on that raid ended in a terrifying draw. They did exactly what Hazel and Tyrian wanted them to do, and yet it felt like they did nothing substantial. He simply stalled Qrow Branwen and Sienna went after the Schnee girl like she was promised. But neither of them got any blood on their blades, and they lost exactly one hundred and twenty-seven recruits in the raid. Either those who were turned into stone by the blind huntsman or those who quit after realizing what they were up against and decided that they were not ready to become a member of the White Fang.

He couldn't blame them after what happened, what they disguised as a well-timed ambush was really a slaughter in most perspectives, and he didn't even get to cross blades or communicate with Kai Matsuoka, which was a large part of the plan he'd made with Sienna.

"Any more of that and your horns are going to fall off."

Adam sagged his shoulders and relaxed at the sound of the supreme leader's voice. He couldn't let her see him the way he was now. He couldn't let his anger get in control of him.

"I need to do something." He shrugged.

"Something as in trying to forget what happened in the raid?" Sienna pried.

And like that Adam's shoulders squared and tensed up. He almost yelled at her in that moment but just managed to hold himself back. "Perhaps," He admitted through gritted teeth.

"Good," Sienna said with a sad sigh, Adam turned to look at her through his mask, surprised by her admission of sorrow. "Nothing is easy, we both know that. But after what happened… I had half a mind to let you take a shot at Cinder when we confronted her."

"Tyrian would have been too strong," Adam pointed out.

"I know, but at least we would have tried."

"Hmph," Amused by the dark humor, Adam engaged the lock on his scabbard and shook his head. That was as the most support he's gotten since Blake, and ever since she left Sienna and he had been able to get much more close in these past few years. Even though he still thought of her as his superior, they would and had both admit that they were friends, possibly growing to more than that. But there was no time for that, not with everything happening, Cinder, Hazel, Tyrian, Watts, and the most recent massacre was waning on both of their minds, and all they had was each other. It made it easier for them to run the White Fang together, with her as the main leader with himself as her right-hand man. He felt that if either of them were running this operation alone they would have both lost it by now. She succumbed to the guilt or completely submitted to Cinder and became the obedient lackeys that she wanted them to be.

He was glad she was here. She grabbed his shoulder and he listened. Together, they want back into their shared office, which really wasn't that much of an office but more like a room with a desk in it and some papers. No computer, and a simple scroll offered by one of the grunts to act as their secure mainline to contact her directly if her attention was needed.

Adam took his usual seat and slumped into it, still sweaty but the entire room was murky so Sienna didn't care. She leaned back in her seat and pinched the bridge of her nose, she was in her early thirties and yet she felt like she was much, much older. The toll of turning a peaceful organization into a terrorist one in less than half a decade was much easier than she'd thought. Too easy. It turned out that a lot of the White Fang just wanted revenge and didn't fight for equality like the entire organization was birthed for to begin with. For a long time, she was like that as well, and the only reason that she felt that she was able to pull herself out of that mindset was because of the attack on Mistral. Surprisingly enough, Adam followed shortly after. Perhaps it was because of Blake leaving and him actually thinking about it, or maybe because she was able to convince him with her own change. Either way, he was her most trusted ally and friend, and she didn't think anything could change that.

"We can't hold a grudge against the kid," Sienna began after taking a long swig of whiskey from the bottle beside her. "We know what he did, and we know what he is. He's an enemy of the White Fang, but he doesn't have to be an enemy of ours."

Adam growled lightly, he clearly didn't agree with her entirely. "He is the reason we lost over a hundred members in a single night."

"That number doesn't matter when you consider just how many of us are in Vale right now." Sienna pointed out. "Believe me, I am just as angry about it if not more than you are. If things were different, I'd put out an order to kill him on sight. But we both know that neither of us will be enough to destroy Cinder without the help of that eye power of his. His semblance too, would be of great use against her."

"Would he even join us at this point?" Adam countered. "He knows we're working with his greatest enemies and he's already been attacking the Fang at night. It would take a lot of effort and we don't have time, Sienna. The whole world is against us, it wouldn't even matter if we slaughtered a thousand humans or save a burning orphanage. Eventually, we are going to become infamous enough to be treated as the Grimm."

"What else should we do then?" irritated, Sienna snarled. "Sit back and let Cinder make the White Fang out to be even more dangerous monsters? Submit and become her lapdogs? Eat out of her hand like the silly animals she thinks us to be? No, I think not."

Adam looked away. "I did not presume to-"

"Presume nothing, Taurus." Sienna cut him off, hissing. "The plan continues, and the White Fang will be freed, no matter what happens… which is why I am going to need you to be ready when your time comes to take over the White Fang."

Adam's eyes widened beneath the mask. "Sienna-"

"Don't talk back to me," Sienna continued once again. "If you think anyone else is capable of taking after me you are more bullheaded than I originally thought. In the time that I pass, you shall become the supreme leader, that is an order."

Adam bristled and wanted to argue, but stopped as he took a moment to think. It was something he has grown accustomed too, actually thinking about what he should do rather than do what his instincts immediately tell him to do. He thought about it once upon a time, becoming the leader of the White Fang and leading all the faunus to something better than equality. But now that he was older, more mature, and has been able to grow as a person he knew that the role was much more important than a pursuit of glory and revenge in spite of the humans.

"As you wish, Supreme Leader Khan," Adam said, bowing his head in reluctant agreement.

Sienna nodded slightly and Adam returned to his usual state. Dormant and brooding, waiting for Sienna to continue their talk. Now that the hardest part was out of the way however, Sienna found it easy to move on to the next topic of conversation.

"Torchwick and his brat know about the boy as well," Sienna said with a sneer. "As does… him."

"Mercury?" Adam guessed needlessly. "I didn't tell him, and I doubt Torchwick would have either. I don't think he knows, which would be good. I don't fully trust him just yet."

"Neither do I," Sienna replied. "But we don't know what Torchwick or his little brat would do with the knowledge of who Stone Face really is. He told us for a reason, which makes it even more difficult to decipher him. The criminal is on a side of his own, and I wouldn't put it past him to try and pin Cinder and us against each other and disappear within the chaos."

"It's not really a secret anymore, with the four or five of us knowing. It's information." Adam pointed out. "Cinder will eventually find out you know, and when she does it goes without saying that she will not be happy about it."

"I can't trust that Torchwick would be a working ally," Sienna want on, nodding as she did so. "We can't trust him, nor the mute, all we have who know of the plan are myself, you, and Mercury and only two-thirds of that are actually confirmed to be willing to go with it. Also, as you said earlier, we are running out of time."

"The next part of Cinder's plan will be put into action as well," Adam said. "Soon, very soon. I fear that we might have to conduct our plan early."

"I'd hope not," Sienna shook her head. "We aren't ready and she will be too powerful by that point."

"If I could catch her off guard…" Adam gripped the hilt of his sword angrily.

"If," Sienna stressed the word.

"If…" Adam agreed.

"When the time comes, we will do what we can, even if all we can do is go on a suicide mission. For now, we shall continue to play our role and do what the bitch says. When we have a chance to convince Matsuoka, we will have to take it, and it'll have to come from one of us."

"Agreed." Adam sighed, tired with the conversation already.

Sienna chuckled as he couldn't hold back his yawn and poured him a drink. Adam took it with some hesitation and they shared a toast. "To the faunus," Sienna said as they clinked their glasses against each other.

"To the faunus," Adam echoed before he swallowed the alcohol, feeling it burn it's way down his throat even as he put the glass down.

Malienna cried out in her excitement as Kai lifted her up into the air and swung her around playfully. The small girl giggled and was red in the face as the joy overloaded on her features. Kai laughed in turn, enjoying the time he spent playing with his sister like he rarely ever did before. He almost forgot the feeling, hearing his little sister laugh like this was cathartic, it was enough for him to forget everything that his destiny entailed for him, and everything he's done in recent times for a few precious minutes. He was much more comfortable with his mother and sister staying in Beacon after Cinder sent an assassin sent to kill them. He knew who attacked them, but not who protected them. Marron had been understandable shaken after what happened and Malienna was just a child, no one expected her to recount every little event that happened.

He didn't need her to anyway, she was safe and so was his mother. That was all that mattered in the end. He'd kill whoever dared to try and bring harm to them and thank whoever protected them once he had the chance to meet them. It was as simple as that.

Training took time away from moments like these, moments where he had a feeling that Yang would be very nostalgic for when Ruby was young like Malienna. He never truly understood just how much he missed his sister and she very clearly felt the same for him. Once they were done playing, for now, he lied down on his back and Malienna pushed herself against his chest, she was so small compared to him that she was able to lean her entire body on him without touching the couch they were resting on. He was her big brother surely, the back of his mind remarked.

"I've really missed you, Kai," Malienna said with a relieved sigh, her cheek pressed up against his chest adorable. He just wished he could see it.

"I missed you too," Kai smiled back and pressed a loving kiss on the top of her head. His heart melted at the way she hummed in obvious pleasure from his attention.

Malienna has been very demanding of his attention recently ever since she discovered that he was taking a break, it was adorable really. She was a strong spirited girl who didn't take no for an answer, just like her brother and late father as Marron would often remark. It took a strong spirit to not run in terror from an attack much older and very dangerous than you, and he was very proud of her for standing her ground, but earlier warned her to not try that again until she actually knew how to defend herself. He unlocked her aura not for her to try and be a hero but to buy herself some time for help to arrive. The thought that she had to use it so early on in her life angered him to no end, but he was glad he took that precaution and unlocked it early just like Malikai did for him years ago the first time he mentioned wanting to become a huntsman.

The siblings pressed their foreheads against one another and simply enjoyed the presence of the other. At this point in their lives, all they had for each other was love. No snarky comments and no teenage hormones making them sassy or rebellious, it was almost saddening to know that one-day Malienna wouldn't be wanting his affection so often, but also empowering because that meant that there was going to be a future for her.

That's right, a future. A future that Kai was going to fight tooth and nail, through blood and tears, to make sure that nobody ever had to be put in his situation ever again. A situation where a seventeen-year-old boy had to constantly worry about terrorists, monsters, and women with magical powers hunting him and all his friends down. If he head it his way, Malienna would never have to face that future, never have to pick up a weapon, and never-

Something clicked and he felt a stinging warmth in his eyes. Unseen to him, black and white wisps of light leaked out of the corners of his eye. Malienna pressed her forehead deeper against his and she felt much warmer all of a sudden. He didn't know what was happening but he stopped the moment that he heard Malienna whimper.

"Are you okay?" Kai asked, sitting up and placing Malienna in his lap.

"Mm," His younger sister rubbed her eyes and yawned. "I dunno, I'm sleepy now."

"I can tell," Kai said as he lifted his sister in his arms and carried her over to her bed just behind the couch. The room that his family lived in was a dorm room but was converted to be a small living face fitted with a couch, a TV for his sister, two beds, a bathroom and a microwave atop a desk. Thanks to being close to the headmaster, Marron didn't even need to worry about finding a job and dedicated her time to training more. She still wasn't nearly as good as the strong first-year students, and she wasn't naturally talented at the art of combat, but she was trying hard.

"Oof," Kai was surprised by his sister's weight, she felt heavier all of a sudden. "What has mom been feeding you?"

"Food," Malienna answered with another yawn.

Kai chuckled and placed his sister in her bed, helping her under the covers and lifting it up to her neck. Immediately, Malienna bundled herself up and began the process of going to sleep. Kai felt himself become confused at that, his sister was fine just a second ago and now she was sleepy all of a sudden. He thought back on what happened just before she got tired and remembered feeling a warmth in his eyes. It wasn't anything powerful, but he wondered why they felt like they were activated. Malienna was fine and clearly wasn't turned to stone, so it couldn't have been that new power he acquired.

He sighed as he continued to wonder. Thankfully, Malienna wasn't hurt and was sleeping soundly now. He supposed he should let her sleep, he already spent pretty much the entire day with her listening to her talk about her favorite TV show and him telling her very dumbed down tales of his nights out into Vale as Stone Face. He left out all the killing and told white lies, he failed to find anything else to talk about because of certain events, but it worked so he was happy for that at least.

He didn't have to wait long to find out what he was going to do for the rest of the day as he sensed his mother come up to the door and open it after swiping her scroll across the lock. "Kai! Oh-" Marron cut herself off as she noticed her daughter sleeping heavily. "Tired huh? Did you play with her all day?"

"Pretty much," Kai told a half-truth. He didn't think Marron would like any kind of news regarding what just happened, but it wasn't like he was lying completely. Thankfully, he found something new to talk about as he sensed another pair of feet step into the room.

Vernal scoffed. "A few days without getting your ass kicked and you're already going soft, typical."

"Vernal?" Kai smirked at her in greeting. "What are you doing here?"

"Stupid Qrow pissed off Raven and she left me here in Vale," Vernal said with a huff. "So I'm stuck here with you fu-"

"One more swear and you're not allowed in this room anymore," Marron threatened her with a very fake polite smile. "At least not where my daughter is concerned."

"Tch," Kai had a feeling that if this was the same Vernal from three years ago she would have cursed up a storm just to anger his mother even more. But she's been getting more civilized in the time she has spent with him training and interacting with his friends.

"Anyway," Marron continued in a sing-song voice, Kai chuckled at that. "I heard you're going to the dance with a certain girl, about time you get a girlfriend son," She teased. "When do I have to worry about grandkids?"

"Not anytime soon," Kai laughed, if it wasn't for Vernals constant teasing he might have become much more embarrassed than he did. "Besides, Orchid is Orchid. I don't think she really expected me to say yes so I'd say she's just surprised."

"Yeah, which is why you have been banned from your dorm for the past few days?" Marron raised an eyebrow. "And why the rest of the girls on your team keeps bringing in many kinds of dresses to see what Orchid likes best? Yes, I'm sure she's just surprised."

Vernal chuckled at his expense. In truth everybody was getting worked up for the dance, it was happening very soon anyway, to his knowledge it was in two days? Three days? Somewhere around there more or less. He knew that Yang got asked by a few guys but she turned them all down, she was going to be the welcomer anyway so it wasn't like she could actually spend time with a date during the dance. Sun got with Penny and they've been going together into Vale to find dresses to the dance, of course, while being flanked by Atlesian guards. Rick and Brick got caught trying on different suits by Nora and were blackmailed into helping her find the perfect dress for herself. Pyrrha and Rick decided to go together as partners, and only partners as they constantly stressed. Ren was taken, obviously. Weiss was with Brick, again, only as partners, Ruby's going on her own and Blake was taken by some other guy that Kai forgot the name of.

He felt like maybe he should probably be taking this more seriously, but he really wasn't worried about it at all.

"Oh no mister," Marron grabbed him by the arm, and suddenly he was worried about it. "You know the dance is tomorrow, right?"

The blood drained from his face. "T-Tomorrow?"

"Yes sir," Marron dragged him under her arm and lead him out of the room. "And since you're not going to care enough to get a suit of your own, it's up to your dear mother to make sure my son looks good for his first school dance."

"Mom," Kai stressed the word, a rare sense of real embarrassment flowing through his head for once.

"And I guess I'll come too," Vernal muttered as she followed. "Not like I got anything better to do anyway."

"Qrow will come over and watch Malienna," Marron continued before Kai could even argue up that point. She sent the scroll message as she spoke. "So you are not getting out of this."

"But I hate wearing dress shoes. They feel weird on my feet."

"You are not going to the dance barefoot!" Marron put her foot down. "Just trust your mother. Mothers know best after all."

"Mine left me for dead to distract the Grimm." Vernal cheekily revealed.

"I-I…" Marron felt the blood drain from her face, but Vernals expression told her that it was a hot lie and a half and she pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation. "I hate you."

Vernal laughed. "Oh, I know. And I love it."

Kai sighed and submitted himself to let the two women take him out. He would have liked to not do that, but there was nothing else for him to do and he felt like Raven would not rescue him from this even if he tried asking her.

Besides, his mother was on his list of people to spend time with after so much time barely sharing a few words with her. Maybe in between her berating him for making the wrong choice on clothing like he had the power to suddenly see again he could see how she's been.

Maybe.

Shorter chapter this time, sorry. Well, not that much shorter but you guys get the gist. Things happen, things are happening, and this is the best I can do right now. The dance arc, however, will not be rushed and I will take it easy. I can promise you that, because trust me, this dance arc is going to be very important for the story and I think I will be doing something that has never or very rarely been done before for RWBY fanfiction. Keep an eye out for that.

Please review and let me know what you think of the story!
