Location, Vale airport, 11:48AM
Yang let out a long tired sigh as the airship finally in Vale. It wouldn’t have taken so long but some kids caused a disturbance in the middle of the flight and the pilots were forced to land when they got inside the cockpit. But again, she was finally in Vale!
And she a lot of time to spare. Get used to the city a bit more, check out the places she hadn’t checked out yet, pray she doesn’t have an unlucky encounter with the Malachite twins. That was a fun night had it not been for the month of house arrest she received at the end.
As she descended the airships ramp, she caught sight of a sign being waved with her name on it. Her eyes narrowed in concern, no one she knew would be expecting her and this was mighty suspicious.
Approaching the sign, she saw a man holding it and a woman besides him. Both were wearing business suits and sunglasses, with the woman holding some sort of bundle in her arms.
‘Oh brothers, did I get stalked by some secret organisation and now they want to recruit me? Sounds like some cheesy movie scenario honestly.’ The blonde thought as she lowered her headphones to be around her neck as her tail curled on itself.
The man perked up as she approached, bowing his head forwards as the woman besides him copied. "I presume you are Yang Xiao Long?", he asked in a tone that told Yang he already knew she was who she was.
"Unfortunately, yes.", Yang answered, a tinge of venom in her voice that disappeared quickly, reminding herself she kept the name because of her aunt, not because of him. "Can I help you?"
The man nodded as a smile reached his lips. "Yes, you can. My name is Don Morton, I am part of the VNCC, «Vale’s National Children’s Care», and I believe we have someone for you." He said as he nodded towards the woman besides him, who stepped forwards and gently gave Yang the clothed bundle.
Yang raised an eyebrow as she took the bundle, her eyes widened as she looked down and saw a pair of silver eyes looking up at her, a tiny pair of black wolf ears with red tips at the ends twitching and the fluffiest black wolf tail with its own red tips wagging slowly from side to side.
The dragon Faunus’s eyes were widened as she mouth hung open, yet no words came out. She looked down at the baby Faunus, who gave a happy babble as she was snuggled in her bundle of a blanket. This had to be a joke right? Right?
Don spoke a moment later, snapping Yang out of her daze. "Her name is Ruby Rose, we found her and her mother in her home after we’d received multiple reports of yelling and concerns about domestic abuse. When we got there, we found her in her mother’s arms with no signs of the father. Her mother did not survive, as she appeared to have been poisoned to death. She was a huntress and we assume another rogue huntsman attempted to kill them both if the severed Hand we found says anything. DNA tests showed that her father is Taiyang Xiao Long and her mother Summer Rose. And since we are unable to find Mr. Xiao Long, we tracked you down, his daughter. We were originally going for your aunt but-"
The man was interrupted as Yang let out a snarl, baring her teeth, her eyes red . "That man is not my father. Hasn’t been in 17 years and won’t be now. Now, what the fuck are you implying?"
Don blinded for a second, suprised by the small outburst before coughing, deciding to avoid mentioning Taiyang again. He supposed the mention of the man had caused the young woman to overlook what he said. "Firstly, may I remind you that you are holding an infant and to avoid such language. Secondly, what I’m implying is that she is your half sister. Congratulations."
Yang looked at the man, then at Ruby, then at the woman and then at nothing. The gears spinned in her head as her face dawned with realisation.
"I HAVE A WHAT?"
