But You Are Not Alone

Start from the beginning
                                        

"If YOU don't let my sister go I will make you wish that robot killed you!" She then pulls her left arm back and readies a bullet.

"Yang stop it!" Everyone but Yang looks at me after that as I let go of (Y/N). "He was trying to help me." Yang then turns to me with her eyes still red.

"What are you talking about? We leave you alone with him for a few minutes and then you start screaming bloody murder! Then when we come rushing in you are on the floor with (Y/N) clinging to you! What exactly am I to assume then?!"

"Miss Xiao Long please refrain from shouting so much. People are already worried given the current screams." Ozpin then steps between all of us and Yang. She stands there and for a little bit I think my older sister is about to hit the headmaster but she finally relents and attempts to calm down.

"Fine!" Yang says as Ember Celica fold back into their bracelet forms and then crosses her arms with a huff.

"Thank you." Ozpin then turns towards (Y/N). "Now Mr. (L/N) would you kindly explain what exactly happened." (Y/N) gets up from the floor and sits on the bed.

"I r-really don't know what was h-happening. I w-was j-just woken up by Ruby screaming. I thought I could h-help so I..." He trails off leaving the sentence unfinished.

"I see." Professor Ozpin then turns to me. "Then I will have to ask you, Miss Rose, to fill in the blanks for use please." I try to remember what exactly happened but I keep focusing on the pain that was in my chest.

"Um, (Y/N)'s arm was hanging off the bed and I thought I would put his arm back onto the bed. When I did then I felt a horrible pain in my chest. Next thing I know I was laying on the ground and (Y/N) was trying to help me." Professor Ozpin stood there for a little bit musing over my words.

"Was there anything else? Was there something that happened when you grabbed his arm?"

"Um maybe. I think something happened."

"A spark maybe?"

"Yeah, I think that was it." Ozpin nods his head.

"I see. Well, then Weiss, Blake, and Yang if you would mind joining me in the hallway for a minute." Before anyone can protest against him Ozpin gives a look that very plainly tells my team that he wasn't making a request. Weiss and Blake both leave without protest but give me a worried look. Yang, however, stands her ground and glares at Ozpin. For the second time within the hour, I fear that my sister is going to try and assault our headmaster. Yang then lets out a sigh and leans to look around Ozpin and looks at me with concern.

"Are you okay if I leave?" I nod and she sighs again in frustration. "Fine." Yang then turns and joins our teammates in the hallway. Ozpin then looks back at us.

"(Y/N) the choice is yours but please listen to me. You are not alone." Then Ozpin leaves (Y/N) and I in the room. I have no idea what Ozpin meant by that but looking over at (Y/N) he seems to understand the intent of Ozpin's words. For a few minutes, we sit there in awkward silence. Working up the courage I finally talk to him.

"Wh-what did the professor mean?" (Y/N) sits there so still and quiet that I almost think he didn't even hear me. He then takes a deep breath before speaking.

"Y-you may w-want to take a seat."

"What? Why?"

"D-do you w-want an explanation?" Vigorously I nod my head. "Then you m-may want t-to t-take a seat. It's a l-long story." Grabbing one of the chairs I scoot it over to his bedside. "Okay, s-so I guess I should start w-with my s-semblance."

"What?"

"J-just let m-me explain. S-so remember when that robot was attacking and I jumped in and fought it with your scythe? Or how I was able to mimic Y-yang while fighting it too?" Thinking back I do remember how strange that was. He was able to use Crescent Rose to it's fullest when I made her specifically for me. Not even Uncle Qrow is able to use Crescent Rose like that. Thinking back even farther I remember that before he started using Crescent Rose he was blocking the robot's attacks the same way Yang would.
