What if I told you..?

Chapter 3

        "Woo hoo!!" I shout as I fly through the air. This is the only time my everlasting hate and anger is ever sedated. But I have to land soon and find Weiss to make her my partner. Which couldn't be worse. The only reason I'd rather have her as a partner than someone else is because we share a room. I only want to be forced to have to be around one person at a time. "Fuck my life."

         Again, why Weiss. I hate her more than most people. Now I'll be stuck with her for at least four years. Years damnit!! "Aaahhhhhrg!!!" I shout as I tore my obsidian blade, or dark cleaver, through the newest tree. "Fuck that tree." I sheath the obsidian one behind me and pull out my new silver bladed, black hilted, duel edged death machine that Weiss had purchased for me. God this is the best knife I have ever owned. And I've owned a lot of knifes. Maybe I like Weiss more than I want to admit. I never disliked her. I just know for a fact that if she had my friendship she would then trample on it. Plus if Yang found out that I am actually okay with Weiss. She'd be jealous.

       I shout again as I tear the new knife through the nearest tree. I sheathe that knife as well and start making my way towards where I know the temple with the relics is. That's when I hear bushes rustle behind me. I turn and see another student step out and display himself to me. "H-hello my name is-"

       I cut him off. Literally. My obsidian blade lodges itself so far into his stomachs that my hilt is nearly sucked in. I lean down and whisper in his ear. "You are lucky that you died instead of had me on your team. I am a fate worse than death." With that I rip the knife back out of his stomach and lay him down on his back.

        I reach down and close his eyes. "Retributum est anima mea." also known as 'requite my soul'. Just in Latin. I hope I don't have to do that again. I walk about another four hundred feet and that's when I see her.

        Weiss.

       But then I also notice one other kid. "Great. Another one to kill." Just as he was about to open his mouth I threw one of my miniature throwing knifes. It lodges itself in his throat and he gurgles a little. I jump up and push myself off of a tree branch and land next to his body. I reach down and dislodge the knife from his jugular vein. I lean down and lay him on his back just like the last one. I close his eyes as well. "Retributum est anima mea." As I say this Weiss turns around and sees me.

        She smiles at me. "I was waiting for you too... OH MY GOD!! Did you kill that guy."

       "Second one today. We had to be on the same team and I took any necessary method to ensure that that happened." She starts to smile and opens her mouth. "And it's not because I like you or anything. We share a dorm so instead of meeting another person that I will hate I chose to cut my losses and stick with you."

        "Not what I was going to say. I wanted to know if you have used my knife yet." She asked seemingly unfazed at the two murders I just committed. "I mean I did buy it to be used."

       "I have not yet used the blade. I told you then that I cannot accept it because I have not been willing to be your friend. There is one reason why I cannot accept that you want to be my friend and allow it. It is also for that reason that I cannot use the knife."

       "Oh my God Ruby just tell me." She says angrily. She must be mad at me. And I can't blame her.

       "Because I know that if I were to say that we are friends you would no longer want to be my friend. I'd let you in and you would step on me just like the last one." I look to the floor.

        "Well then. Let me say it this way. Ruby," she pauses and I look up at her. "THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!! I WILL NEVER DO THAT TO YOU."

       I jolt at her outburst. "Ruby I really really like you. I was wondering if maybe you would want to be more than-" I slap her. Her head jerks to the side.

        "I can understand the first part." I slap her again. "But nobody, and I mean nobody, even tries that on me." I punch her in the face and knock her into the floor. Literally. There is a small crater with her in it. "So tell me Weiss, do you still want me as a friend?"

        "Y-yes. I do. No matter what you say Ruby. I promise you this. I will earn your affection. No matter what."

        "Fine. We can be friends. That is it. But let me tell you now. I have only had one friend and that was ten years ago. I do not know how to be a good friend. But I will learn if you want it that bad. I will try." I sigh. "Guess I caved." She squeals like a little girl and wraps me in a hug. "Get the fuck off me!" I shout and shove her off. That's when I notice a rustle in the leaves of the tree to our left. "Weiss down. Now!" I say as I shove her back into the crater. A knife comes flying through the air towards me. I pull out the knife Weiss bought. I decided to call it Glinting death.

        I use my semblance to generate a wind current only strong enough to knock the knifes out of the air and to my feet. I reach down and see that they are actually Kunai knifes. "These will be useful." I take one of my own and throw it at the guy. "This just got interesting."
