RWBY: I'll Carve My Own Path In This World (RWBY X Male reader) [5]

Chapter 8: Copycats and Birds

There they were again, the second, their jacket across their back, I managed to get a closer look at it this time, I could make out the Atlas symbol emblazoned across it, once again they ran around me looking for something, or someone, I called out to them, they turned to me, they were about to take a step closer, when they suddenly began to fall

"Again, this time, strike harder, and faster, both of you" Fuck you Pyrrha, how am I supposed to do that at four in the bloody morning, I had been awakened this Saturday morning, by my Scroll, Pyrrha had texted me saying to come up to the roof for early practice, once I had gotten up there, Pyrrha told me and Jaune, who was equally tired, to start sparring right there and then, luckily we had already gotten into our combat gear.

"Your getting sloppy Y/N, if this was a tournament fight, you would've lost already" She said as I barely managed to avoid Jaunes equally exhausted swing, come on! It's not like I have your Semblance or anything! Wait..... I could, let's see if it'll work, I jumped back and began to focus, I could see my F/C Aura surround me, come on, come on, Jaune saw what I was doing and was about to deliver an overhead strike, but his armour suddenly glowed black, I looked to my left hand and saw the same Aura surrounding it, I instinctively made a pushing motion and Jaune was thrown back, he crashed into the wall and I could hear his Scroll beep, signifying his Aura had dropped into the red

"Jaune!" Pyrrha said as she rushed over to him, she pulled him off of the ground and dusted him off, she then looked to me, I could tell she was pissed, but also pleased

"Y/N, it's good that you managed to use your Semblance, but please, try to be a bit more gentle when copying my Polarity" I nodded, I apologized to Jaune who was a little bit dizzy but waved it away, I felt something on my side and I looked down, I saw a length of fabric reminiscent of the one Pyrrha wears.

We walked down to the cafeteria and grabbed our breakfast, we sat down and a few minutes, team RWBY walked in and sat down next to us, we told them what had happened and why me and especially Jaune looked slightly roughed up, Yang didn't stop smirking and giving me funny looks for some reason

"Me and Pyrrha were discussing what's been going on each time I copy something and we believe we've got it figured out." The others looked surprised at this, so I carried on

"Rule one: I must obviously know what it is I'm copying, Rule two: when copied, it sticks with me for the entire day, I cant get rid of it by other means and I can't copy again, Rule three: each power seems to negatively effect me in a way that the original doesn't, Velvets pushed my body beyond it's limits to copy someone, the one you saw with the horns seemed to make me express my emotions far more, hence the outburst, and Rule four: depending on my emotions, my Semblance will forcefully activate itself and copy something seemingly at random." They seemed to understand, I now noticed that Nora was looking at me the same way that Yang was, Ruby wasn't meeting my gaze and refused to look in my direction, Weiss seemed to be more disgusted at me than usual, I could even tell that Blake was shooting glances at me over the top of her book, I couldn't take it anymore

"Uh..... what's with those faces, why are you looking at me like that?" Nora snickered and elbowed Yang slightly

"So...... Who is it?" Yang said before started to giggle herself

"Who's what Yang?" I asked the two of them were laughing their heads off now, I could see Rubys face start to go red

"Who's your crush dummy!" Nora said, I choked my face going redder than Rubys cloak, I turned and glared at Pyrrha

"Pyrrha...... I thought you could keep your mouth shut.........evidently I was wrong." Pyrrha looked mortified and said

"Y/N, I h-haven't said a w-word about anything we talked about then!" I felt my chest sink, that could only mean, someone was eavesdropping!, but I made sure that no-one could, so how? Yang then spoke up
