A Different Huntsman (a RWBY fanfiction)

chapter 20

Mesagi slowly opened his eyes, and blinked when he realised that a pair of different coloured eyes was staring down at him.

Neo smiled at Mesagi. Mesagi sat up from her lap and looked around. He saw sunlight coming out through multiple windows.

"We're still in the aircraft?" Mesagi croaked out, seeing RNJR still sleeping.

"This thing is called an Osprey, dummy. Most favourable to use for armies long ago," Megu replied.

"Really? Cool," Mesagi replied, impressed at everything in the aircraft, 'Osprey.'

Mesagi then stood up, before realising his katanas and the grunts' weapons he took wasn't with him.

"Where're the weapons?" Mesagi asked Neo. She pointed to the pilot seats.

Mesagi went there and saw Megu wearing aviator sunglasses, but still had the smile on her face.

"I'm surprised Mesagi," she said to him, now looking at her younger, smiling brother.

"Really? For what?" Mesagi asked, picking the weapons on the co-pilot seat and put them all on his lap, careful to be sure it doesn't go through his clothes.

"Well. You made so many achievements I never had made," Megu replied.

"What? Breaking down one of White Fang's base? Taking back one of Schnee's dust factory?" Mesagi asked.

"More than that. You actually gave a chance for Neo to come back, despite her going back to White Fang," she replied.

"Oh. It's because I just have this weird thing whenever I'm with her," Mesagi replied.

"Really?" Megu asked, looking at him, then Neo, who was poking the sleeping RNJR.

"Yep. I don't know what it is, though," Mesagi replied, looking at Neo as well.

"Well, isn't it obvious? You have feelings for Neo," Megu simply replied to Mesagi, who blinked, blushing.

"I do?" Mesagi asked. "Oh my goodness, Mesagi. Your density is so. . . Urgh. Yes. You have feelings for her," Megu replied.

"Oh. . . Huh. . ." Was all Mesagi could say before he looked to his side, probably trying to not think about it.

'I have feelings for her? Why would I? It feels pretty weird. . . But I guess I should accept that fact,' Mesagi thought, before taking a deep breath.

"I'm gonna go and have a talk with Neo. Okay, sis?" Mesagi asked and she nodded.

Mesagi soon left the weapons at the co-pilot seat, but grabbed onto his katanas and the weapons he stole.

"Neo. Can we talk?" Mesagi asked, standing in front of Neo, who stopped poking RNJR and nodded.

"Alright, listen carefully, because I'm not gonna say it again," Mesagi said, and Neo raised her eyebrows, but nodded.

"Okay. The first time we met, I was wondering why you didn't suddenly kill me. Can you explain?" Mesagi asked.

'I've never seen you fight before, so I was curious,' Neo replied via hand signals.

"Huh. . . Remember the time when we were 'sparring'?" Mesagi asked.

'What? Was it when you gave me a second chance to come back?' Neo asked him.

"No. Before that," Mesagi replied, and Neo shook her head. 'I don't remember. Sorry.'

"I see. . . Well, you were mind controlled so that explains some things," Mesagi told her, and Neo nodded.

Suddenly, there was a strong force at the right, where Mesagi sat, that forced Mesagi to stand up on his feet, also waking up the rest of RNJR.

"What's happening?!" Jaune asked. "We're being attacked, right, sis?" Mesagi asked.

"Yeah. Worse, it's White Fang," she replied. "Are you-urgh!! Man they really want Neo back don't they?" Mesagi grumbled out, before another force shook the Osprey.

"What the heck do we do?!!" Ruby asked. ". . . Everyone grab a parachute. We're gonna jump outta here."
