Chapter 7

A few days have passed and Teams RWBY and JNPR have talked about Y/N and Pyrrah. They have analyzed the stories Pyrrah has told them and then Blake showed them what she recorded when she went to meet with Y/N, who is in the amphitheater, kicking around dummies and trying to wash out whatever has him riled up today. A lot has happened during the last few days, knowing he couldn't run from the past forever. He was cornered by Pyrrah on Thrsday and she demanded to have a talk with him.


--- Flashback ---


The two siblings were sitting in Y/Ns' dorm and have a bit of distance between each other. There sure was hatred from Y/N towards Pyrrah true to the fact that she was and would always be a Nikos. The girl was nervous as she sat at his desk and waited for him to say anything.


Y/N:" So..talk."


Pyrrah:" Aren't you gonna start?"


Y/N:" You wanted to talk, I'm only here to listen. So go."


Pyrrah:" It hurts me, Y/N. It hurts me to see you act this way towards your own family and yes...I know you're about to snap at me for saying this...But I've tried. I've tried to get to you, but they wouldn't let me...They locked the door every night and they said there is nothing to worry about. I felt betrayed every single day...The pictures they had of you, they kept away. They never mentioned you and whenever we were going to the doctors, I heard the doc mention your name, even though I never heard it before...Can you tell me what F/N and M/N did to you?"


Y/N:" What they did to me...there are no words to explain what they did to me. The mental scars are something YOU can never understand. I was the one who was the first child of the family...And they abandoned me after I used my semblance. I was told that I was never fit for battle because of it. The first few years of my life, the two showed me SOME love. They gave me food, water, clothes...I even was allowed to go to kindergarten and then school...Until you were born. Not only did my semblance ruin my life...YOU destroyed my life. You were always the poster child. You were being praised, held in high regards by all of your teachers and all of our relatives loved you. Why they didn't let you pass the years here already is beyond me..."


Pyrrah:" Me being born has ruined your life?! Are you out of your mind?"


Y/N:" What if I am?! Then you don't have a reason to even keep caring about me. I would be sent to a mental asylum and society has one less crazy person to worry about. You never even tried to find me. Nobody was and why would you now? Why would you say that you care since you're my sister, even when you know I'll never accept you."


Pyrrah:" Do you want to drive your family away? You were with us for the first six years of your life and then you give up on us?"


Y/N:" ME giving up on YOU?! Do you have any idea who I am or what I can do? I can't even beggin to explain where my hate and aggression will end up. You're asking me if I wanna drive you away? You three drove ME away. You three threw away what I would've been able to become. I could've died in front of you and nobody would bat an eye at it. I was left to be forgotten. I was left to rot away at my own feet. Why should anyone take me in? I never understood why Ozpin would give me a chance to be here. I would be six feet under and so, I would've been left alone."


Pyrrah:" And what would that have achieved?"


Y/N:" Peace. You wouldn't be here talking to me, worrying about a so-called 'brother' while lying to yourself about who you are. You know nothing about me. You don't understand how I got this far, but you know that I could kill you in a matter of seconds if I wanted to. Don't claim that you know me when you very well that I have seen through it all. And don't claim that you know why this is not a civil conversation. Don't tell me that you're all better. I don't care if you are. I never seem to find a reason to let you in again, or forgive you. I'm sick of feeling like I need you knowing I never did. Would you like to be the one who sees me lose this all? Would you like to be the one who sees me fall?"


Pyrrah:" So I'm standing in your way. Is that what you're saying?"


Y/N:" If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive? Now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me. The deception you show is your own parasite. The sun is gone and the flowers rot. Words are spaces between us. And I should've been drowned in the rivers I've found of token lost. And I should've been down when you made me insecure. I've played down every feelin' I've felt and I bottled them up 'til the well ran over. This smile is so hard to wear, but I have no gun."


Pyrrah:" You sound more depressed than anything else-"


Y/N:" Why wouldn't I be? Why should I fake my pain and suffering?"


Pyrrah:" Because there isn't anything that should make you this way. It's not our fault. It's not your semblance or anything. You just decided to kill off the innocence in you!"


Y/N:" Who the hell do you think you are, coming here and demanding to talk to me when I'm not even comfortable around anyone? Not even around myself. You're coming here, dragging me in here to try and 'reunite' me with the ones you call 'family'. You know, you know...It's okay. I'm just...I will kill you if you demand anything from me again! GET OUT!"


Pyrrah:" You c---"


Suddenly a flock of knives fly towards Pyrrah who does her best to dodge them and get out of the room. Y/N was breathing heavily as he cranked his head around, looking at the wall next to his door. He was lucky enough to only have cut off a few of Pyrrahs' hairs. It felt aweful to have her talk him down so hard when he didn't do anything wrong. Sure, the part of Pyrrah being born and that then ruining his life was very hurtful to hear, but he only told people the truth so far. Y/N closed and locked the door, collected the knives again and submerged himself in the bathtub filled with cold water.


--- Flashback End ---


The imagery causes violent fashes before his eyes as he fights. Y/N has been like this for a few hours already, not giving in to the pain he feels throughout his body. As the E/C eyed boy looks at his katana, he sees the head of a dummy stuck on it. The wires are sticking out while its eyes flicker with the last bit of light they could gather from the electricity left in them. His S/C hand reaches towards it and takes it off, crushing the last of its remains. Y/N is close to breaking from everything as he decides to sit down for a moment. A few breaths of fresh air help release some tension when suddenly he is joined by Blake who stands a few feet away from him.


Y/N:" I don't know why you're here, but you shouldn't be near me."


Blake:" I'm not here to ask you about your past. I just wanna be here for you in case you need some support."


Y/N:" Support never was anyone's main concern about me."


The cat faunus just sighs as she walks closer to him and pulls him up into a hug. She is clinging very close to him while Y/N is confused and tries to break free. His attempts at it fall flat when he realizes why Blake wants to help him. A few seconds later, the boy gives in and hugs her back and when she decides to look at him, the young girl can see tears in the corners of his eyes.


Blake:" Y/N, are you...about to cry?"


But he doesn't say anything. The H/C haired boy is clinging to her shirt and buries his face. It's so unlike him to see him showing this kind of weakness. Tears are so strange to Y/N as he sinks down with Blake who tries her best to calm her down. She seems to be his safe haven at the moment and she even hears him sniffing and sobbing. 


Blake:" Shh, Y/N. I'm here. There's no need for tears."


He nods slightly as he cuddles closer to her. Yes, Y/N may look like a kid, but they're lucky nobody sees them. Otherwise Y/N would jump up and chase them down until they surrender to him. It takes the two a while to calm down alltogether when they decide to go somewhere else. Blake helps Y/N back to his dorm that is still a mess, but they manage their way. She walks him over to the bed and lays him down slowly and is about to leave but the exhausted boy grabs her wrist.


Y/N:" Stay...please."


There's a short inner conflict for her, knowing that it could go either way for both of them. It's not normal for anyone to ask her to stay and it's even stranger that it's a person like Y/N would ask her for this. Blake is about to rip herself free until she sees his hurt expression. She can see that nobody showed him this kindness and this range of help. Moments later the two lay in bed, next to each other. Blake is massaging Y/N's head in a soft manner to make him calm down more while he has his face buried beneath her chest. The first moment, that caused her to tur red, but now she's fine with it. Blake remembers having helped kids back in Menagerie to stay calm whenever there was a storm or something. She just wonders where all of this is going. It may be the first time she actually needs the time to learn from his stories. She knows some kinds of pain, whether it's physical, psychological or emotional.
