Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 49

Qrow needn't to tap on the window as it was left wide open as usual. He doesn't have to worry about assassinations or the sort, you can't kill what's already dead after all. He doesn't have much to say being there either. Just a quick info and he'll be out in a jiff.

" Do you have any clue what she said to me yesterday?" Zea asked him as she poured him a cup of tea. There was no smile on her face as usual. She recounted the events of the previous night. " She needs a break. But I don't know how." She remembered the things that girl said as clear as broad daylight.

" Veena?" She said knocking onto the door to check on the girl if she still had bad sleeping habits. " What are you....Nevermind. Gets some sleep, you'll need for the match tomorrow." The girl sat there, staring off into space as she held a warm mug of tea. Perhaps thinking about her family that had come to visit her. She swore she heard her. " Did you say something?" She was surprised to find tears falling on their own. " Vee, are you crying?" The girl seems to not have noticed her own tears.

" It seems that I am." She wiped her eyes and took a breath. " Well, I, met my siblings today. It's nice to see them alright." She smiled softly to herself as she looked at her old friend. " I'm disappointed in myself. I had my chance to go home but I didn't. Now this is my price. Zea, I've seen too many lives get lost. Just..." She trailed off and took a deep breath. " I'll get some rest. Zea, when I have the time, I need...to talk." She said before heading to bed.

" Are you sure that a break is what she needs?" Qrow said to her. " I think it's good to have a little exposure. Hey, we're all human aren't we?" He reminded her as he took another swig.

" That we are." She agreed with him and decided not to meddle so much in her life. " Also, will you ever stop drinking?" Qrow snorted and relayed the little bit of information regarding the enemy's position.

" Miss Cloud." Zack said formally before the match began with that smirk on his face. She smiled at him and did the unexpected, she removed her binds.

" Mister Oxton." She replied as she looked at him with her violet eyes. Yang flipped her hair and got into position. Sun readied his gun chucks with a confident smile as Reese cocked her sniper. " Be careful what you seek." A forest and geiser area was selected.

The round began as the two blondes moved first gauntlets and gun chucks in hand. Veena escorted Reese to the tree tops as she had explained her semblance to the team. Reese got the first strike, her hoverboard crashed through the geiser and a metal clashed.

" Heads up!" Sun came crashing down on him as his staff meets Ren's blades. " Good to say you again, Ren." He managed to say as he backed off from Ren's kick.

" Good to see you too." He fired a few rounds as Sun blocked with his staff.

Zack was grateful for the cover the canopy provided. He was quite used to travelling by tree top back in Mistral with the Blackbirds. Yatsuhashi followed him from the ground to keep track of any ground threats. Yang was spotted at the geisers at the beginning of the fight and knowing her previous fighting habits, she's not one to leave her ground. He spotted her ahead and signalled Yatsuhashi to lay low. She looked slightly troubled, he expected it must be using her aura too much. This was the time to strike. Hidden in the trees he linked minds and began looking for her softest moment as Natrah. What he sees was unexpected.

" Oh my gods." He was surprised to the point he fell off his tree and landed on the ground clumsily on his two feet. Veena turned and looked at him in the eye analytically. Although she had insisted her team to let him link with her, she wondered if he had dug too deep. Much too deep into her private life. " You were married...as Natrah..?" He said mostly for himself and barely above a whisper. He saw a young man, dressed as a tailor smiling joyfully at Natrah with a steel ring his on his finger. He flinched as he saw the look in her eyes. This was it, he was in deep shit now. " I did not expect that." His thought were worded out this time and he didn't realize it until a metal fist met his face.

" Privacy, bitch!!" Yang shouted in triumphed, pumping her fist in the air. Yatsuhashi swung his sword but instead it met Veena's blade. " Hope you found what you were looking for, pal. Head warning, if you look into my mind, I'll take a penalty if I have to."

" Try not to." The violet eyed girl reminded her. " But you can hit him in the gut for me." It seemed almost impossible for her to have more than enough strength to fight off her opponent, who's blade is twice the size of her's. " Didn't your father tell you, Oxton?" Spirits became visible and fairly startled the boys. " Always pay attention to your aura levels. Her aura level hadn't changed from the start of the match, it only decreased a bit now because of her battle with Yatsuhashi. It struck him, Yang was never too far away from her, she'd been sharing her semblance at a steady pace and not at all used her aura to suppress it.
