POV RUBY
After finishing the bowl of cookies I was given, I made my way outside to see if anything interesting happened.
Only to loose it when I saw everyone outside drinking that weird leaf juice, uh-oh, Aiko's looking at me with a weird smile.
Oh boy, it's the same smile mommy used to give me when I'm in trouble. I ran to Yang, who was munching on some oranges that dad bought awhile back.
"Psst, Yang." I whispered, catching her attention.
"Why is uncle Qrow sad?" I asked her, staring at uncle Qrow with pi… pie? Oh wait, pity, that's the word daddy taught me.
"Oh, he tried to flirt with the tiger lady." She took a bite of a strawberry dad had brought and spoke.
"She rejected him of course, and he tried to make a bet." She continued to explain, I then sat next to her and grabbed a strawberry of my own.
"He lost? I asked and took a bite and hummed at the taste, it was sweet and savory, I wanted to grab all of them and run back home, but dad would be mad.
"Yup, guess all that flirting with girls really made uncle Qrow's semblance bite him on the butt." The two of us ended up giggling at uncle Qrow's luck, since he always told us stories about his adventures.
And it always ended with him falling for a girl with her legs exposed, only to be thrown out the inn he was staying at.
Serves him right, always doing those bad things. Thats why dad always told us to never be mean to boys, only to be mean when they start being mean first.
"By the way, what did you and Aiko talk about, you know, after you ran into the woods?" I asked her, only to stop halfway before she bit into the strawberry.
Yang began to fidget in place, twirling her hair with one of her fingers. Her eyes were looking away from me, and she was turning red.
"N-nothing much, just….stuff." Seenf her act like this made me drop the strawberry I was about to eat.
I felt lighting strike me, and my whole world began to spin. Yang, my own sister was always loud and annoying, seeing her like this felt wrong.
"Who are you and what did you do to my sister?" I stood up and pointed my finger at her.
"R-Ruby, what are you talking about!?" Yang panicked, moving away to not get any strawberry juice on her hair.
"The Yang I know wouldn't be all shy, she would be loud and annoying!" I shouted, causing everyone to look at me.
I was about to keep shouting at the imposter until they placed their hand on my mouth, dragging me inside.
I wanted to keep screaming about this imposter pretending to be my sister, but she she said next made me realize this is my sister.
"I will ask dad to buy raisen cookies and stuff them all in your mouth." She hissed, causing me to snap my mouth shut.
"Look, he just… he saved me from a pack of Beowulfs, and he was able to take them out easily." I gasped at what she said and began to check her body.
"Are you okay, are you hurt, did he save you like those stories mom told us, what weapon did he use?" I asked her, barely taking a breath.
"I… I cant tell you, I promised him I wouldn't." I whined at what she said and was about to start annoying her, but seeing her eyes I decided not to.
"Fine, I'll just ask him when we see him next time." I crossed my arms and pouted, I was really curious about what they talked about.
"You can't, we both pinky promised to not tell anyone!" Hearing this, I felt myself go stiff, and my jaw hung open.
'Dang it, out of all things, it had to be a pinky promise!' I thought and wanted to run outside to shake Aiko.
But it was the most sacred thing that Yang taught me, if she broke it, she would get bad luck.
"Dang it, that means I can't do anything!" I whined and began to roll around on the floor.
"That's right, you can't do a thing!" She laughed and stood above me, her hands on her hips.
POV YANG
As I pretended to laugh, I could only sigh mentally, good thing I taught her about the pinky promise.
'Sorry Ruby, but I can't tell you just yet.' I thought and began to drag her outside with the others and sat in front of them.
I was mostly curious about why he hid his appearance, maybe he would be made fun of, or he's being chased by bad guys.
In the end, it's not really I can ask him, since he chose to hide how he looks like. In the end, I promised I wouldn't tell anyone, and I'm sticking to it.
However, even as we talked about some things, I noticed how Ruby was looking at Aiko, not in a mean way, more of a 'wow that looks so cool' way.
I didn't understand why she was looking at him like that at first, but it must be the interesting stories he told us.
Like how he bullied a mean rich dude who was harsh to any Faunus, and danced with a rich girl, it was so cool how he went on these adventures.
However, I didn't like how he mentioned that the girl was always close to him, I didn't like it one bit.
But I soon forgot about it as soon as he continued to talk about his home. How there was no cars, no bullheads, only scrolls.
"That's it? What about blacksmiths, dust, what about tv?" Ruby asked, Aiko only smiled and patted her head.
"There is tv, we didn't get to ask for more, but I think that's a good thing." He sipped his tea.
"The both of us had time to read all the books in our home, Blake mostl6 was interested in romance novels." He smiled, causing Blake to blush and hide her face.
"Well, what about you? What books did you read?" I asked.
"Just the basics about dusts, did you know, before dust was used as cartridges, people used to sew them into their clothings?" Ruby only shook her head at the question, but was curious.
"It's an old technique that is rarely used to this day, since people decided to use dust with firearms, since it causes more damage when compressed." He continued, however the more I stare at him, the more he looks bored.
"Wow, that's so cool! What else do you know?" Aiko was about to answer her, but I cut him off.
"What about your favorite tea?" I asked him, this caught him off guard, since he didn't expect me to ask that.
I mean, it's just water with leaves and plants, there's not much to talk about when it comes to that.
"Oh, I have a whole bag filled with different types of tea!" He smiled and ran inside, Sienna sighed and placed her hand in her face.
"Right, I forgot to tell you to not mention tea." I was about to ask her why, but the sound of a door being kicked open stopped me.
"I have all kinds of flavor!" He ran towards us and soon knelt down next to us, pulling out many types of plants and tea bags.
"I have lavender, mint, lemon, raspberry." He began to list many types of tea and mixes, he even seem more focused when talking about different types of flavors.
Yet, the others looked bored, even Blake looked bored when he was talking about it. Yet, seeing him act like this, I find it cute.
POV RUBY
I'm bored, that's all I can say after hearing Aiko talk about tea. However, it wasn't all that bad since I was seeing Aiko's nine tails wag behind him.
Even his cute white ears twitched and fluttered at every movement. I was still confused on why I could see him like this.
I wanted to ask the others at first, but they didn't seem to see what he really looked like, so I decided to keep it as my own little secret.
However, what made it weirder was the nine people that stood all around him. Two were clear, where I could see what they looked like.
While the other seven were blurry, not bothering to show what they really look like. I really wanted to ask, but I couldn't ask if he didn't know himself.
However, the woman that stood close to him turned to me and looked at me. She smiled when she saw me and gave me a small wave, while also raising a finger to her lips.
I could only nod my head and stayed silent, wondering why I was the only who could see what was happening.
'He's so cool.' I thought and continued to watch the people that stood behind him.
