RWBY: Path Of Blood 16 Chapter 15: Did You Miss Me? Big Bad Wolf.

It was a few days after Haruki came back... They all went Back to training for the Vytal festival. It was finally their day off... Haruki and co. we're just wasting time inside their rooms... Haruki was exercising... and Pyrrha was doing it beside him. "I never thought that anyone can keep up with me..." Haruki was surprised that even though Pyrrha was covered in sweat she was still trying to pace herself with Haruki's Tempo. He thought to himself 'As a former Mercenary this kind of exercise was mandatory... but seeing Pyrrha do this on her first day of training I'm honestly surprised.' Haruki then said "after this 10km running." Neo was looking at the two and asked (Why are you doing this? Haruki I would understand if it's just you but Pyrrha too?) Pyrrha answered "More training never hurt someone..." But sadly it actually did there was someone on the corner of the room panting madly... *Pant pant* "When I said training I didn't expect this... I was expecting a spar." Haruki then told Jaune. "It's for your own good... also the body is the foundation of your strength..." Jaune's arms were feeling numb he fell over and said. *pant pant* "Ohh...I feel like I'm gonna puke... is it just me or is the ceiling moving..." Haruki then carried Jaune outside...

"Alright Ten Kilometer Running... Don't be slacking off!" The trio ran around the school, garnering stares from everyone... When Team RWBY saw this they were surprised... "What kind of training is that? Even uncle Qrow would definitely Faint in all his alcoholic Grace... from that harsh training." Ruby said, Weiss on the other hand was thinking of joining... Training with pyrrha would boost her athletic skills by two fold even without her glyphs. "I think it's great! a chance to train with Pyrrha would be amazing... I'm surprised she's willing to train the both of them... as they are falling behind." When Blake heard what she said she laughed... He used to train me like that too when we were kids... "Haruki is the one training them... He's behind so he cold pace Jaune and he won't fall behind." The three of them were surprised and Yang said... "You mean that Captain flirt actually trains?" Blake looked at her dubiously "How do you think he's so strong? He's a hard worker..." Yang smirked towards Blake's answer and said. "Ohhh.... it seems Miss Blake is an admirer." Blake blushed from ear to ear "What I idolize is his skills and strength!" Ruby then laughed... "Blake has a crush on Hru-ki~ " Blake chased Ruby around... Haruki approached the four of them..."Hey you guys wanna join?" Weiss and Blake spoke in unison "Sure..." Ruby was surprised "I understand why Blake would join... But even you Weiss?" Weiss then pointed at the running Pyrrha "If Haruki could train Pyrrha, I don't see why not... " Yang sighed well if you two are gonna join... "Ruby and I are just gonna go..." but Haruki held both their shoulders. "Training together helps build the team." When they saw that smile all they saw was darkness incarnate...

"Haahh, the fresh air of hope... how annoying..." Cinder said as she walked in the town of Vale..."Emerald I trust that you know what to do?" Emerald nodded her head and she went to the plaza to go and call Haruki. "Mercury go do down to Roman and ask what the time is for the Dust s.h.i.+pment will be." Mercury grunted... "We've only been her for an hour and you already want to go do work?" Cinder ignited her hands... "Are you ignoring my orders?" Mercury immediately bolted towards Roman's base of operations. Cinder was looking at the direction of beacon academy... "Soon the Fall Maidens powers will be mine... and I will be escaping that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds clutches..." Cinder hated Haruki's control over her... her pride can't handle it. She is used on being on control. That's why she's going to use emerald to tear Haruki apart from Neo, essentially controlling him. Little does she know... Haruki has already seduced Emerald... Creating a wedge between her and emerald.

As Haruki were training Team RWBY and Team JNPR... He got a text from Neo... "Roman told me Cinder and co. are here... Emerald is probably here too, why don't you go and meet her. since it's been months since you two met." He was sweating hard when Neo told him that... but since she already told him to go he would. He then got another text to his scroll. "Hey Big Bad Wolf... Did you miss me?" Although Haruki kept contact with Emerald since that incident all they did was talk about random stuff and flirt from time to time. "Where are you right now little lamb?" Haruki told everyone the training is over today. "You guys did an okay job! now rest up we will continue this tommorow." Jaune whined "An okay job? I can't even feel anything anymore! everything hurts..." Yang and Ruby were a little tired. "Haruki you monster how are you not tired... Even you Blake you look okay..." Blake thought to herself 'Well I have been doing this for years...' While everyone was too tired to speak... Pyrrha was very eager to train. "I can still handle more..." Haruki bonked her on the head. "Pyrrha I thought you knew this... but rest is as equally important as training..." Jaune strongly agreed "Yes! rest is very important..." He said as he lied down on the ground. "Well you guys rest... because tomorrow we will be doing the same regimen but faster." Everyone booed Harukis tyranny. "I suggest a revolution, for we are human too! I protest equal rights!" Ruby said... so Haruki pinched her cheeks "Hoooh.... a brave soldier ready to sacrifice for their cause... Ruby tommorow you will be training a little earlier." Ruby protested in Harukis arms "I object! Down with the patriarchy!!" Everyone laughed as they rested...

Haruki arrived at the coffee shop he and emerald were supposed to meet. He saw her sitting down tapping her fingers impatiently... Haruki sat down the chair opposite to her. "Sorry I'm late Em..." Before he could continue however Emerald then said "I really missed you..." So she stood up, pulled Haruki away behind an empty Alley, and started kissing him. "I missed you too, little lamb" he said as he nibbled on her lips. "Did you even think of me?" Haruki then cheekily smirked and said "of course... there's not a day I don't miss you Em..." Emerald wrapped her arms around Haruki and teased him playfully... "Mmmph... Are you sure you wanna keep going? There's bound to be people around..." Haruki licked her in the earlobe and said. "Well it doesn't matter... if my little lamb wants to then I'll happily oblige." Emerald pinched him in his sides. "Hmph! Pervert!, Womanizer!" She leaned on his chest wondering what kind of man she fell for..."You and your glib tongue..." She then turned serious... "Haruki cinder really wants revenge... although I don't want to betray her I also don't want you getting hurt." Haruki then patted her head. "Relax it's going to be okay... I got everything under control." Emerald then looked at Haruki with pleading eyes. "Haruki whatever happens please don't hurt Cinder... Even if she did hurt me I still care for her." Haruki kissed her to rea.s.sure her. "It's going to be fine... I won't hurt her but I will teach her something..." Emerald then realized what he meant. "Ahhh you!! Pervert Womanizer!!" She said as she beat on his chest. Haruki then took emerald to a fancy restaurant, they ate and bid goodbye to each other... "Haruki I will be going to Beacon in a while I hope you and Neo will welcome me..." Haruki held emeralds hands and told her "It's going to be fine...Alright let me send you home." Emerald then booped him on the nose "Don't bother... Cinders there... So just wait for me patiently you Big Bad Wolf..."

While Team RWBY we're eating outside they saw Haruki walking outside with another woman... "Ohh look it's Haruki! and he's with another girl!! Do you think she's his mistress?" Yang pointed outside screaming... "They even kissed I'm pretty sure she's the mistress!!! O M G! it's like watching those dramas Velvet watches!!" Weiss rolled her eyes "I don't get why you guys obsess over him so much..." Blake then twirled her hair saying "Because he's nice and reliable.." Yang then added. "Plus he's Handsome and Very well built." Ruby then said. "He also saved us twice now... he's like a cool hero." Weiss then said " But he's a womanizer... I don't see why you still view him as such..." Yang then said "but you agreed to train under his wing... " Weiss immediately denied. "Because Pyrrha was training with him... that is all..." Ruby teased Weiss "The Ice Queen finally melted!!!" Hahaha their laughter echoed throughout the restaurant. But as they were about to leave someone gave a letter to Blake.

As Blake was reading the letter, her expression immediately turned grim. For it was Adam Taurus. Saying he was in Vale, just to look for her.... She then looked outside to see Adam outside waving at her. Yang then shook Blake back to reality. "Hey Blake you okay?" Blake then looked back outside but no one was there anymore... "I'm fine I just thought I saw someone I knew."

Blake thought she saw an illusion... little did she know something big was about to happen...
