Tailing Boundaries (Blake and Weiss X Readers)

Ch 4 - Rejoice

Two teams of two. Still a whole forest to go about.

Enjoy.

~~~~~

Crystal and (SN) were on there way through the forest as she wanted to know more that was going on. Just to start conversation. Given from what she said by the weapons lockers it could be more to it then that. "So you and your brother climb things?"

"Yeah. Not upside down though but maybe one day." He replied.

"Neko?" She smirked.

"How did you know?"

"Well (SN) I started on top and saw you and your brother go different directions because of the launch pads. I saw one of you and the two of you look very alike. White hair and use your spikes from the hairstyle to hide your ears. No secrets between us as partners. 'Kay?"

"I got it. Yes. We are and we hide our ears for a reason." You cleared the air and now it was just time to make sure that all was well.

"Well I get why. I just want to let you know that I have your back. Secret is safe with me. I promise you. And we won't put up with any bully that says otherwise. Because Fanus are people too."

"Thanks Crystal. You are one of the few that say that. It is much different. It's why we were afraid to leave the island. And now, we are here and have to prepare everyday because people that hate won't wait for graduation day."

"That they won't. So then, any more secrets before our next move?"

He sighed and smiled. "My real name is Light and his is Lotus."

"Hehe. Cute. Let's go partner."

"On it."

The two of them kept continuing forward. Though Crystal had a few questions. "So tell me since you two came here with motives. I'll tell you mine of course. Just before our other teammates get here. I want to help."

"Lotus and I lost our father because he walked off to be a member of The White Fang. Their intentions aren't what they used to be. What was once about protesting and fighting to have right has been destructive and against what I believe in. Lotus and I left the island to better ourselves. Our mother is upset, but there is much to learn here. More opportunities. And if we do see our father, it's on."

"So the two of you spike your hair to hide your ears and your semblance is crawling on areas?" Asked Cryatals.

"Fanus aren't accepted to many people. And any hard surface to a point. If it's slippery or can't get a good grip it can't happen. And yourself?"

Crystal shook her head. "I came from a family of traditions. Some are good, but some are outdated. This is what I chose. They didn't approve. It's old fashioned in my family. Boys find a job and become head of a household. At 20 you're out on your own regardless. Girls aim for a a housewife position and work part time if you have to. It isn't what I wanted. I wanted to go out and dream. Travel, meet people, and slaying monsters was just a side piece. Nothing a thrilling number one reason why I'm here, but I had to do my own thing."

"I don't see you being the stay home type. Your energy just seems different. And hey, if comes after you then go for it. But please don't tell me that crap is arranged."

She sighed. "Sometimes. But if you sit home and do nothing it comes at you because someone else will care for those needs. It is just that simple."

A growl was heard. "That's not me. That's not a hungry stomach right?"

"That depends on who's stomach." She reached into her pocket. "Who goes there? Hurry up before I throw it."

The bushes ruffled as a Beowolf was growling. Its eyes could be seen through. Crystal put whatever she reached for back. "Not worth it now. Ready to strike (SN)?" She bent her knees and had to short swords in her hands.

"You can call me Light when its just us. Let's go." He fired a shot.

"Try to keep up and careful with your aim." Crystal lead the charge.

Just my style. He went to the left as she went towards the right. He fired a few rounds to see if this beast could know its place. Since this wasn't a small and frail animal such as a rabbit this was going to be interesting. Another two rounds. Seems like three shots weren't enough to tackle this. "Hope those are sharp."

"Bet on it!" She swooped at a upper diagonal angle to slice the neck. It slowly faded to dust. "Told ya so."

"You getting cocky with me?"

"No, just showing you what I'm worth. We basically just met after all." She winked at him.

"True. Though it will be interesting to who we are teaming up with. Just a matter of time." Then he heard the trees ruffling. His ears twitching. "Alright who is it?"

"Hey, (SN). What's happening. And we bring company too." Indy was walking out with his weapon held up in the air. 

"We come in peace brother." Said (FN) coming out of the brush.

"Huh. No kidding. Guess the four of us make a team. Indy this is Crystal. If you saw the mountain of ice, that's her."

Indy smirked at Crystal. "The Icy Assassin. Good to meet you."

"Likewise Indy. Though the name has nothing behind it outside my attire." She giggled.

"The black hood and short swords. The stealth look is cool and all, but that name stuck to you. So I guess its the four of us to the end of these woods to get the pieces?"

"Yeah, if I'm correct they shouldn't be too far away. In fact, they should be right over that hill. If you know what I mean. Though I wonder, we do have twins with us Crystal, what pieces do we grab if they're available?"

"I know exactly what. I thought about it before hand. Black and white pawn pieces. The journey is tough, but it can be anything it wants to be once it hits a certain point. Once it reaches the end, the power changes and is almost unlimited."

The twins looked at each other. "Sweet."

"Did you tell him?" Asked Light.

"About us?" Pondered Lotus.

"She knows. He's going to officially be our teammate soon. Might as well."

"Fine." Lotus put a hand through his hair. 

"Woah... Ummm... I uhhh," Indy couldn't finish his sentence. But why?

~~~~~

What is his reasoning? What are his intentions? And then, what happens when they face the fact that they have to soon live with each other?
