Today was a day off. So me and amber decided to have a day in the town. The headmaster was against the idea. But we went anyway. If you're going to keep her locked up in beacon. Then why have me be her bodyguard? Starting to think that he just wanted me on a leash too. But I digress
After having lunch. We went to an arcade. It was fun, even though we got kicked out when I played the punch machine. I hit it so hard it broke. Over all. It was a pretty fun day. It's nice having a day to unwind…i can't remember the last time i was allowed to relax. As we were on a way back to the airship when team rwby showed up…blake was missing.
"Yo! Kai! Amber! Have you seen blake?" yang asked.
"No, what happened?" I asked. Blake and weiss got to an argument involving some monkey faunus, and the white fang. Which eventually escalating into blake revealing that she was once part of the white fang. I sighed.
"Got nothing better to do…i'll help you find her." i said.
"Thanks kai." ruby said.
"You know who else we should go to? The police." weiss said with anger.
"Remember our talk weiss?" i asked.
"But I am the victim!" weiss yelled. She explained why she hated the white fang. About how there was dust stolen and family members killed. That the white fang are nothing but a bunch of thieves and murderers. I wanted to slap her…but i realize something.
"Your right…you had nothing to do with your father's awful business practices…you had nothing to do with the awful treatment of faunus that the schnee dust company allows. None of it is your fault…but how do you know those family members were innocent?" i asked.
"What are you getting at?" weiss asked.
"Around you…they seemed like good people. But is that who they truly were?...people don't show their true selves to the people they love…when their real self would horrify them…if yang mugged and murdered people every night…you'd think she would let ruby know that horrifying truth?" i asked.
"I don't do that!" yang yelled.
"I know you don't…it's just an example." i said.
"What's your point in this?" weiss asked.
"My point is…you don't know what's going on in the heads of those around you…that uncle gave you a nice christmas present…could have been whipping a faunus down in his basement for no other reason because he could…that nice aunt you had that was shot in the back of the head…she probably bragged about killing that faunus's child before they pulled the trigger…this is just a hypothetical…i'm not saying all of this actually happened…but you don't know if they were innocent either…" I said as I began to walk forward to begin the search for blake. But i had one last thing to say.
"It's easier to blame the white fang isn't it?...to turn a blind eye to the evil caused by those you love…hopefully by the time you leave beacon…you'll have the strength to face the darkness that lurks within the very core of your family. And it's company." i said. I closed my eyes…i sensed a black aura on the other side of town…alongside a yellow male aura…alongside a dark orange aura and a bunch of red auras… "what the hell are you doing blake?" i asked. I quickly ran to where she was.
"Brothers of the white fang! Why are you aiding this scum!?" blake asked with her sword to torchwicks neck. Her bow was off. Revealing black cat ears.
"Didn't you get the memo? The white fang and i are going on a joint business together." torchwick said.
"Tell me what it is or i'll put an end to your little operation." blake threatened.
"I wouldn't call it a little operation…" torchwick said. As bullheads flew above. I took a deep breath.
"A demon has been summoned." i said. I summoned armads. And jumped up high and slashed one the bullheads in two. The other bullhead opened it's side door and the white fang mooks jumped out. I used the wreckage from the first one as a jumping point. And slashed the other one. They both blew up at the same time. I landed in front of blake and torchwick.
"Kairudo!?" blake yelled.
"Hi blake. Your team is looking for you." i said. A big explosion happened between her and torchwick. He then aimed the end of his cane at me. Revealing the barrel of a gun. I dodged the explosive shot.
"Seriously? Even canes are guns? What the hell?" I asked. I dodged more incoming shots. Got close enough to swing my axe which sliced through the metal cane like a hot knife through butter. I kicked him into one of the storage units. I put my axe to his neck. "Move. and you lose your head." i said. He grinned.
"Not bad girly. But have you noticed that my business partners are behind you." torchwick said. I heard the sounds of gun cocking and swords being drawn.
"I'm feeling generous today…drop your weapons. And i won't end your lives." i said. the sound of a gun shot. And the feeling of my aura being hit told me of their decision. "Your choice has been made." i said. I quickly rushed behind me. And decapitated the guy who shot me. I took his rifle. I fired it at the other gun wielders. Landing multiple headshots. Breaking through their weak auras and putting them down. The sword mooks came at me. I shoved the empty rifle through the skulls of one of them. I then took his sword. I slashed a couple more of them down with my axe and a few more with the sword. I killed the last guy by shoving the sword through his chest. And giving it a knee to make it go further through. I turned my attention back to torchwick. "Not feeling so cocky now are you?" i asked.
"I still have a few more aces girly." torchwick said. More bullheads came at me with machine gunfire. I twirled my axe to deflect the gun fire. I then raised my axe into the air.
"Ziodyne!" i yelled. Lightning bolts came down from the sky. Striking down all off the bullheads. I turned to torchwick. Who looked like he about to piss himself…"you got any more…or are you finally done." i said. He came at me with his fist. I shook my head. And punched him back into the crate. I held my axe to his neck. "Now are you finished?" i asked.
"Damn…you certainly live up to your title demon of vale." torchwick said. I looked at him with confusion and anger. "Wanna know how i know that…i have some business associates that want you dead…honestly. Those idiots have a deathwish. Considering just how strong you are…and clearly…." torchwick said. Looking over to the corpses of the white fang. "You don't take prisoners." torchwick said. I heard the sirens of police cars coming. I sighed and dismissed my axe. I gave torchwick a kick to the face. Knocking him out.
"Looks like you got lucky tonight…criminal trash. I said.
"Salutations kairudo!" someone behind me yelled…someone I immediately recognized. I turned around to see penny with ruby. Though she looked horrified…can't say i blame her. It was a bloody mess of utter carnage…the police took over. Me ruby penny blake and her new friend sun got away from the scene. Everyone was quiet.
"You should get that blood off of you kairudo. It's not healthy." penny said in her usual adorable obliviousness.
"That was…gruesome." ruby said.
"Get used to it kiddo. There's a lot more of it to come…as a huntress. Blood will be a common sight for you." i said.
"Why?...why did you do that?" blake asked.
"They tried to kill me…and besides. I gave them an opportunity to walk away. They didn't take it." i said. Blake got up with anger in her eyes.
"You didn't have to kill them!" blake yelled.
"Human. faunus. Grimm. It doesn't matter. If it's hostile. You kill it…besides…it's not the first time…and it probably won't be the last." i said.
"What the hell happened to you!?" yang yelled. As she and weiss approached.
"What do you mean?" i asked.
"What do you mean? What do you mean? You're covered in blood!" weiss yelled.
"Don't worry. None of it's mine." i said.
"Then whose blood is that?" yang asked.
"White fang…this girl here is merciless." sun said.
"Kairudo…is it true?" ruby asked.
"Is what true?" i asked.
"Are you really the demon of vale?" ruby asked everyone except sun blake and penny looked at me with wide eyes.
"Honestly ruby. You're such a child sometimes. Believing such a fairy tale. Honestly. A masked girl killing armies of grimm on her own. That's impossible even for the most skilled of huntsmen!" weiss yelled.
"A fairy tale she says…" i said with a chuckle. "Better start believing them weiss…because the demon of vale is real…and your looking right at her." i said.
"W-what. That's impossible. No one can take on an army of grimm by themselves." weiss said utterly baffled. I laughed.
"Wait until an army of grimm attack the city…i'll show that i'm very much real." i said. I got up and began to walk away.
"Hey! Where are you going!?" yang yelled.
"Back to beacon. Even demons need their rest. And i'm exhausted from today…you four should too. Otherwise glydna will have your hides." i said.
A few days have passed. Things haven't changed much when i revealed the truth. Well. except with Weiss and blake. Weiss is still under the belief that me being the demon of vale was a lie. Guess it's going to take me actually destroying an army of grimm before she believes me. And blake…she hasn't talk to me at all…not that i blame her..even though she cut ties with the white fang…they were still her faunus brothers. And i killed them in cold blood, i don't care if she hates me for it. I'm not going to make friends with everybody. However on saturday. I got a text on my scroll.
"Come to our room…we need to talk." from blake. I sighed. And went out.
"Who is that?" amber asked.
"It was blake from team RWBY. she wants to talk…most likely about what happened at the pier." i said.
"Good luck with patching things up." amber said with a smile.
"Yeah…good luck to me." I said. I'm gonna need it. I went to team rwbys room and entered. The windows were covered up. So the room was as dark as possible. Clearly blake didn't want anyone eavesdropping. I closed the door behind me. "So…let's talk." I said. Blake told me about her past. Of how she was in the white fang when she was just a kid. And the breaking point. Her ex partner and boyfriend adam taurus was willing to kill innocent engineers just to finish their objective. That's when she decided to leave.
"Adam taurus…you were in a relationship with that katana wielding psychopath?" i asked.
"I'd appreciate it if you don't talk like that about someone you don't know." blake said.
"Blake…i'm not pulling a weiss here…i've seen first hand of how much of a maniac that guy is…i've fought against him…multiple times…" i said. Blake looked at me with surprise. "Like I said. The white fang that I killed at the pier wasn't the first. And it wasn't going to be the last. Just to let you know…i didn't start the fight. I just ended it…i wasn't even doing anything to warrant being attacked…i was just walking by…minding my own business. And they attacked…no provocation. They saw a human. And they wanted to kill it. So i defended myself…since then. The white fang have constantly attacked me. Some even think i'm a bane of faunus…forgive me oh great faunus god for committing the horrible sin of not wanting to be killed!" i yelled. Blake looked at me with saddened eyes.
"I'm sorry." blake said.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault. I wish the white fang didn't have to exist…i wish humans would stop being so goddamn prejudice…but that just ain't the reality of it…if it wasn't for assholes like jacque and cardin…psychos like adam wouldn't rise." i said.
"You said you've fought with adam…why?" blake asked. I shrugged.
"probably someone told him what's been happening to his brothers and sisters…and decided to deal with me personally…of course every time he came at me. I defeated him." i said.
"Defeated and not killed?" blake asked.
"Yeah. sounds odd. Considering what happened at the pier. I've shown no problem finishing off my foes…everytime i've had my blade to adam's neck. Someone got in my way. Either one of his brothers or sisters. Or just a grimm looking for a snack. And chose me. Giving adam a window to escape…either way. That bull is slippery…i'll be honest with you blake…adam and anyone following him is not helping anyone." i said.
"What do you mean?" blake asked.
"Adam and his group…there not interested in equality. There not interested in helping their so called brothers and sisters…there's only one thing that there interested in…their bottomless wrath on humans. Which is why i believe there's hope for you." i said. Blake looked at me with wide eyes. "You left because you realized. That all you were doing was indulging in wrath. You will be able to see reason. That's why you left and came here. Your goals haven't changed. You're finding a less violent way to do it. Believe me blake…there are humans who want the same thing that the white fang does…equality and peace…i'm one of them." i said with a smile.
"Kairudo…thanks for this…i think…i understand you a bit better now…" blake said. Though i could that she was a bit scared.
"What's wrong?" i asked.
"Adam…he's going to come after me…isn't he?" blake asked.
"Us blake…we're both on his shit list…you for dumping him…and me for kicking his ass…we're both his targets…if he shows up we fight and send him back." i said.
"You're planning to kill him aren't you?" blake asked.
"I know you don't like the idea..but i can't let a vindictive psycho like adam live...i've made some good friends here…and that man will cut them down if it means hurting me. Hell it's a double whammy considering several of those people we both care about. So he gets to hurt both of us at the same time…i can't allow it…and if i have to kill him to do it…then so be it." i said. Blake looked to the ground.
"I know…it may come to that…but still." blake said.
"I know…letting go of your past is not easy for you…and i know you loved adam once…and i know striking him down…is difficult for you, which is why you leave that task to me…i have no connections to the white fang. And i won't hesitate. You hesitate. And you or someone you care about will die…so leave him to me…and let go. Ok?" i asked. Blake looked at me and nodded. I smiled and walked to the door.
"Thanks…kai." blake said.
"Your welcome." i said as i left the room. As i walked down the hall. I walked into someone i wasn't expect to meet here. Someone with long blonde hair wearing a lab coat.
"Professor peach?" i asked.
"Ah. . Just the girl i wanted to see…you mind doing a favor for your favorite professor?" professor peach asked.
One team drama to another…this time. It was team jpde. Apparently something is drawing david to peak. An abandoned mining town…there's something there. Something powerful. Powerful enough to set a barrier around the town. And with enough control to allow certain individuals in. however. It came with the caveat that no one can use aura…which is a huge setback for most huntsmen and huntresses…which is why they got me for this..during my time in the wilderness of vale…i actually didn't use aura. I just got to do what i used to do. And avoid taking damage…but what bothers me is the other three people that jpde brought along…they have the alias of mistral exchange students…and the black haired woman is wearing a different outfit. But i know these three…there the three that attacked amber. Cinder. Mercury, and emerald. At least I now know what to put on their tombstone…i'm going to kill them…but for right now. I need to work with them.
