???: Oh! You're awake!

You had awakened covered in multiple bandages wrapped around your body. The pain from the multiple cuts remained as you struggled to move.

???: You shouldn't move so suddenly otherwise the stitches will come undone.

You shifted your head to find none other than Blake's mother, Kali.

(Y/N): M-mrs. Belladonna...

Kali: Don't strain yourself too much, you took serious injuries.

You grunted in annoyance knowing that you were practically unable to move.

(Y/N): ... Blake... Where is she?

Kali: ... She never returned...

You gripped your hand into a fist knowing that she left with him.

Kali: What happened out there anyway? We were surprised to find a part of the forest had practically turned to ash with you nearly bleeding to death.

(Y/N): ... You wouldn't believe me...

???: Try us, kid.

Your eyes looked around to find Blake' Father, Ghira.

(Y/N): ... Adam played the victim again. This time he took it too far and I confronted him about it. He attacked first and we went all out...

Ghira: That explains the fire.

(Y/N): Then Blake showed up to stop us... I can tell he purposely let himself get hit just to have her turn on me.

Kali: Oh dear...

(Y/N): Yeah... Guess you can figure out the rest...

Your body slightly winced in pain as it slowly returned even worse than before. A small cased was placed next to you with Kali opening it to reveal your dagger, resharpened alongside your handgun.

Kali: I know you wielded two firearms but we could only locate the one.

(Y/N): ... Its fine...

One Week Later

Ghira: So what are you going to do now?

You let out a small sigh as you were about to leave the home.

(Y/N): ... I'm going back to my travels... I'm sorry for troubling you for the past week. I should have known it was a mistake to meet your daughter in the first place.

Ghira: ... You know I never liked you as soon as you set foot on this island but... You've earned my respect when you fought for what was right. You have a lot of heart kid, I don't want to see it go to waste after what happened.

You remained silent as you looked outside of the open door.

Ghira: If you see her, can you please tell her that we're worried about her?

You never said anything before you pulled your cloak over your head and walked out of the door.

(Y/N): *In thought* I'm done with all of this! I was better off traveling alone than sticking around and getting involved with the White Fang.

Flashback End...

You and Blake were currently sitting in a cafe with seats away from earshot. You haven't spoken within the first half hour but instead, stared at the black haired teen with a serious look in your eyes. You can tell she was nervous as she avoided contact, even when kept her calm demeanor.

Blake: Well? What is it that you needed to talk about?

You broke out of your slight anger since you were currently thinking about that same night.

(Y/N): Right... Where to start...

Blake: How about the reason why I'm here in the first place.

(Y/N): Hm, now that does raise a good question doesn't it?

Blake: (Y/N)... I just want to settle this as peacefully as possible.

(Y/N): *sigh* Yeah, me too...

You looked down at your hot cocoa as the thoughts of her attacking you alongside Adam returned. Blake saw the pain in your eyes as she placed a hand over yours.

Blake: I'm sorry (Y/N)... I'm sorry for never believing you back then... For leaving you the way I did... You even have my word that I'm done with the White Fang but...

(Y/N): You want them to stop with violence against everyone else.

She nodded but you simply sighed in relief knowing that she wasn't involved with "him" anymore.

(Y/N): You're forgiven...

Meanwhile

At the moment, Ruby was currently giving Lucius a tour of Beacon Academy since the new member was unaware of the new surroundings. It was rather enjoyable for the team leader as she practically dragged the woman everywhere.

Ruby: And this right here is the combat class arena! I'd say it's an excellent class since it takes us away from the boring stuff!

The white and black haired teen was amazed at the sight of another classroom. Most of them were larger than the ones she had seen at the monastery. Although, she may never experience battle within the walls of the school.

In fact, the red eyed girl had thoughts as to why the red cloaked teen had suddenly began to treat her like a friend.

Ruby: What's wrong?

Lucius: ... Why are you doing this?

Ruby: What do you mean?

Lucius only slightly glared at the silver eyed girl.

Lucius: This act... Just yesterday, you and everyone else treated me as if I was a demon.

Ruby simply stood there in a calm manner, although she was a little frightened that the woman was growing angry.

Ruby: But you're not a demon.

Lucius: .... Wha-

Lucius was shocked by Ruby's response as said person simply patted her on the shoulder with a heart warming smile.

Ruby: You're just our brand new team mate, Luci!

The woman was stunned as an image of her own sister, Corona, appeared behind Ruby with the same smile. The only thing she is able to do is accept the fact that there is somebody showing kindness.

Ruby: *ahem* Anyways, let's make our way to the cafeteria because I am starving!

The sound of stomach growling can be heard from the boh of them as Lucius lightly blushed and Ruby laughed it off.

To be continued!
