Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 50

" Double knockout!" The teacher announced as Reese took out Brawnz but then Ren took her out. " Talk about karma." Ren was faster than Sun, even if he used his clones to try and catch him. A figure caught his eye as he retreated, a figure he never thought he'd see again.

" Focus on the fight, little Lie!" The elder man reminded him and he barely missed a gunshot from Sun. He glanced at the forest area and managed to see a glimpse of Veena, fighting against Yatsuhashi. So she's providing a vision.

" Watch your step." She told him as a spirit glided past his legs and she took the opportunity to knock him out. " I'm sorry to distract you- Uh, Hey! We had a deal!" She shouted over to the elder man with Ren.

" I forgot!" He shouted back. " Sorry, little Lie. You're on your own." Ren still smiled at him and went head on against Sun. Finally, he took him out. " Good work, little Lie. I'm so proud."

" Eyes on the prize, flower boy!" Yang jumped forward and the ground was destroyed due to the impact of her gauntlets. Ren landed on his feet as usual but was almost stunned by what he sees. The aura radiated off of her like golden rays of sunshine. So this is what Veena sees on a daily basis. Why she sees everyone's aura. At the same time, Yang admired the gentle green that his aura radiated. When he thinks about it, Sun's aura was a lighter shade of yellow, it didn't glow as bright as Yang's.

" It seems that Lie Ren is on his own this time. Zack Oxton had just been knocked out, guess not all blackbirds fly south." Veena was on her way, he knows it. If she gets here than he would really be done for. This needed to end quickly. And it did. " And so, the last man standing is...the one and only lady, Yang Xiao Long!" Yang pumped her fists in the air and celebrated. Her team qualified for the finals. " Bold move by Veena Cloud, taking herself and Lie Ren out of the fight."

" Hey Veena," Yang called her over after the match. " Thanks for your sacrifice."

" Well you did hit Oxton in the gut for me. Call it even." She smiled at her. " Thank you for your support."

" It's nothing. Privacy's important." Yang said with a wide smile as Veena binded her eyes.

" Is that so? Well then, but I can't help but to ask. What difference does that make me from Ozma? The 'secrets' you egged him on, wasn't that also his private life?" Yang said nothing in response. " I'm sorry, that's behind us by now. Do you want to know what he found out? It's fine if you do, I really don't mind." Yang thought of it for a moment before answering yes. " Do you remember how I have three legendary lives as the Midnight Sparrow?"

" Yeah. Aris, Yasa and Natrah." She listed curiously.

" Who do you think would've been named the strongest?" She said as Yang guided her through the hall. " First one that comes to mind."

" Well, Natrah." She gave Veena a surprised look. " He dug through Natrah's?" Veena responded with a nod and a patient smile. Yang was unsure weather or not she should continue.

" Did you know I was married once?" Yang looked at her agape. There was no way.

" SERIOUSLY??? Oh my gosh!" Yang could sense the look she was giving her and tries to control her excitement. " I mean...Uh, what was he like?"

" He was a tailor, not much for what you'd expect from the deadly Natrah but there he was. He wasn't smart or funny, not the most good looking compared to heroes and knights, but he was charming in his own way. And I loved it. Yang, I understand how your mother feels. Your father too." Yang stared for a moment, she understood what the elder soul meant. " But what we had, could've lasted longer if the circumstances were better. I'm your parents would've been too, if things were different but they aren't and here we are. Oxton only found out I was married, nothing more." They shared the silence for a bit. Each one confiding in their own thoughts but took comfort in the other's presence. " I've never had children. Not that I fully remember what they would've been like but still. I enjoy your company, your friends too." She gave her a reassuring smile as she sat down. " Thanks for being my guide. I'll try to find the time to give you guys my gifts."

" No problem." Yang was about to leave when Veena held onto her wrist.

" I'm, sorry to ask but could you do me a favour later?"

" What do you need?"

" An escort."
