I stood off with Scarlet. I looked at her stance, the way she held herself was interesting. Whoever taught her to use a knife knew what they were doing.

Me: 'I'll be sure to ask her who trained her after I defeat her.'

I slowly started to make my way towards her. As if to taunt her to charge me first, but she held strong and stood her ground. I decided to take charge and made the first move. I ran forward and slashed at her repeatedly. She blocked each one but at the cost of being slid back a good ways. I didn't let up and kept at it, delivering a flurry of attacks. I saw that she was slipping up, her stance was falling apart and her moves weren't exactly keeping up with mine.

Me: "You know, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. All that talk and You're already close to getting beaten."

Suddenly her stance tightened up and reformed perfectly. She suddenly went for a slash but moments before it made contact I turned into smoke and moved around her.

Me: "I touch a nerve sweetheart?"

As a response she slashed her knife towards me, inches away from my face. I turned into smoke and dispersed onto the floor, I then reformed a good ways away.

Me: "You nearly got me... Good job, guess I'll get serious now."

I gripped my sword harder and charged at her. As I got in her striking distance I dispersed into smoke and began reforming and disappearing all around her making her swing widely. I threw my sword upward into the air and as expected she followed it with her eyes. I then solidified my fist for only a moment, long enough to make contact with her, delivering a strong punch to the stomach. I repeated this over and over striking every non-vital yet still painful spot I could. After a few more hits I reformed a few meters away from her. She was struggling to stay up, swaying back and forth. I walked slowly towards her.

Me: "Alright, It's time to accept defeat. You managed to surprise me so that's pretty go-"

Suddenly she pointed her knife at me and pressed the button on the handle, making a shard of ice come from a small hole in the knife. I saw this and moved lazily to the side, only to be met with a punch to my face, causing my mask to fly off. I stood there, stunned for a moment.

[Yang's POV]

We all looked down at Grim Reaper. The infamous criminal known for murder and sulking in the shadows, just got hit. His mask flew off exposing his once secret features. We all leaned forward and looked him over. He had (Eye Color) eyes, (Skin Tone) skin, (Hair Length) (Hair Color) hair, but what stood out the most.... Was the scars, they littered his face and down his neck. There were so many that you could just tell his whole body had them. But when I really looked at him... He honestly wasn't bad looking... Suddenly his eye started twitching and he looked at Scarlet with a disgusted look on his face.

[(Y/N)'s POV]

Me: 'Oh now she's done it.'

Unfortunately for this poor girl, due to my upbringing, I have a very... Strong reaction to pain. Smoke began to rise from my body as I moved forward and grabbed onto Scarlet's neck. I threw her at the wall only to disperse and reappear in her path. I grabbed onto the back of her head as she was flying and brought her down to the ground, face first, creating a small crater in the floor. I let her lay there, hoping my anger would die down. I started to take deep breaths and began to calm down slightly, until I saw Scarlet reach for her weapon. I waited for her hand to get onto the handle then stomped on it, gaining a satisfying "crack". I leaned down and grabbed her knife. I threw it across the room and leaned down to her, I rolled her over and saw she was bleeding from a gash on her forehead and from her nose. She was struggling to stay conscious but was fighting for it.

Me: "Please know. If you. Ever. Cross me again, I will rip you apart piece by piece, and make sure you're alive till the very end. Got it?"

I spoke through clenched teeth, yet still in a whisper. I had finally calmed down enough and regained my composer.

Me: "Now. After you get done with your trip to the infirmary, we'll be having that little chat."

Professor Port ran down into the arena and instantly started lecturing me. He told me to go to Ozpin's office while he took Scarlet to the infirmary. I sighed and walked off.

[Time Skip]

Ozpin: "Two broken fingers, three cracked ribs and a light concussion. All during a training exercise."

Me: "Hell of a lot better then what happened to the last person who got a hit on me."

Ozpin: "Reaper, I know you won't change in a day, but we cannot let this happen again."

Me: "If you're worried about others finding out I'm here just report it as an accident."

Ozpin: "These injuries don't happen because of an accident. You deliberately targeted areas to drain her aura and inflict pain. It's as if you were toying with her, then all of sudden you snapped and could have possibly killed her."

Me: "Look, I'm sorry, alright? I'll apologize to her, I will. But that's something that happens when I get hurt. Feeling pain invokes the one emotion I kept through everything, rage."

Ozpin: "I suppose sparring with you is entirely out of the question no matter what."

Me: "That'd probably be best."

We were both quiet for a bit.

Ozpin: "Tell me, does it anger you that you're still human?"

This question actually caught me off guard.

Me: "I wouldn't say that. I'd say I just don't like being reminded of my past experience."

I lied. Truth be told, I hated all feeling. I hated the thoughts that go through my head at times. I don't sleep for that reason, since my escape I had been plagued with nightmares, ranging from the people I've killed to the torture I was put through. But I suppose I've been a coward to feelings, sleeping made me feel, so I stopped sleeping, getting close to people allowed the possibility of being hurt, so I wouldn't speak to anyone besides a contractor, even then I only did one job per contractor so I built no relationship, even in a business sense. Deep down I know I crave companionship, but I just shut myself down and became emotionless, hiding behind layers of clothes and a fake voice.

Ozpin: "I guess without the voice modifier its easy to tell when you're lying."

I looked at him as he smirked. I shook my head and gave off a small chuckle.

Me: "I suppose so."

I stood up and went to go towards the door.

Ozpin: "Oh, Reaper, one more thing?"

I turned around only to see him holding up my mask.

Ozpin: "I think I'll hold onto this. It seems a bit damaged, so I'll fix it for you."

He smiled.

Me: "You're a terrible lier Ozpin."

I walked out the door and descended the elevator.

[Time Skip]

I walked to the infirmary and once I got to the door I saw Alex and Jill seemingly guarding the door. As soon as they saw me they tensed up and put their hands on their weapons.

Jill: "How could you do that to Scarlet...? She's our teamma-"

Me: "Jill. You forget what I am. Don't make me remind you."

I walked passed them and began to turn the knob.

Me: "But I haven't come to hurt her, I came to apologize."

I entered the door and shut it behind me. I pulled out my sword and jammed it into the door so it wouldn't open. I walked over to the cot that Scarlet was on. She was awake, and staring at me with a look of hatred. I chuckled.

Me: "Even after all that, you don't waver a bit do you?"

She stayed silent.

Me: "Look, I'm not good with this kind of crap. But, I'm sorry. That's the first time someone's landed a hit on me in a long time, I got pissed off and lashed out. I honestly didn't mean to do that much damage. That being said, is there anything I can do for you to forgive me?"

Scarlet: "Die."

She said plainly.

Me: "Die, huh?"

I kneeled by her bed.

Me: "Alright, I'll die. If you tell me what I did to you. You know who I am, who I really am, the only reasons for that is either you are apart of some kind of criminal organization, were hired to kill or capture me or I did something and you want revenge. Which is it?"

She stayed silent.

Me: "Look, despite my looks, I'm not stupid. I've seen this so many times. A widow coming for blood, a child coming to avenge their family, another assassin coming to collect a bounty. Which one is it?"

She held up two fingers.

Me: "Option two? Who did I kill?"

Scarlet: "Everyone..."

She whispered.

Me: "Everyone?"

Scarlet: "My family... My father, my mother, even my little sister...."

Me: "Alright. Then what's your real name?"

Scarlet: "What...?"

Me: "I know you don't think I would, but I remember the names of my contracts, I've never killed someone with the last name 'Bloodlust'"

She paused.

Scarlet: "It's Scarlet Venetian."

Me: "Ah. I remember them. I was sent to kill the family because their business was rivaling my contractor's."

Scarlet: "You killed off my family... Just because you got paid...? There was no other reason was there....?"

Me: "Nope. They handed me the money and I didn't give it a second thought."

I stood up and walked over to the door, I grabbed my sword and walked over to Scarlet. I tossed my sword onto her lap then kneeled over exposing my neck.

Me: "Go ahead."

She didn't move.

Scarlet: "What...?"

Me: "Go ahead, kill me. I deserve it, honestly I do. But know this, it won't make you feel better."

Scarlet: "How would you know?! You're a heartless bastard!"

She shouted and picked up my sword. I raised my head to look at her.

Me: "Believe it or not, I was once in your spot. Of course, I can't remember having a real family, but I was at an orphanage which is the closest thing I had to family. One day it was raided and burned down, all the caretakers murdered and the children, including me, were taken. Long story short, I hunted down every last person involved and butchered them beyond recognition. But it didn't help in the end, all I got was more blood on my hands. But hey, I'd do the same thing again. So, kill me. My life won't amount to theirs, killing me won't bring them back, but you'll be making the world a lot better."

She just stared at me, then dropped the sword.

Scarlet: "Are you stupid or something?"

I shrugged.

Me: "Probably."

I grabbed my sword and put it on my hip.

Me: "So, we okay for now?"

Scarlet: "You think I could just forgive you? You really are stupid."

Me: "I never said anything about forgiving me. I said okay, as in, you're not gonna try to kill me while my back is turned, right?"

She chuckled a little.

Scarlet: "If that's what you meant, then sure. For now."

Me: "Good. Now, how do you feel about eavesdroppers?"

She tilted her head at me then realized what I meant. She nodded at me. I pulled out two throwing knives and chucked them at the door. They embedded into the door gain a shrill scream from the other side.

Me: "Sorry Jill!"

Jill: "That wasn't me! It was Alex!"

Alex: "W-Was not!"

Scarlet and I looked at each other, then started cracking up.

[Scarlet's POV]

Once everything had settled and Reaper had left I sat there.

Me: 'He offered his life... I was so set on killing him... But he's right, what would it solve. I didn't even come here to kill him, I wanted to become a huntress, to help people, to protect everyone I can.'

Suddenly the door opened and in walked Ozpin.

Ozpin: "Miss Venetian, how are you feeling?"

Me: "Better. My semblance is helping."

Ozpin: "Ah yes. The semblance of healing certainly is useful."

Me: "So did you send him here?"

Ozpin: "No actually. He decided on his own."

Me: "He.... He did?"

Ozpin nodded.

Ozpin: "Well, I'm sure you need some rest."

Ozpin turned and walked towards the door, he opened the door and started to walk out, but stopped half way.

Ozpin: "Prehaps you could heal the poor boys broken mind, and make the world right without anymore killing."

He then walked out.

Me: 'Heal his broken mind?'

I sighed.

Me: 'Ozpin helped me get close to him, enough so that I'd have the chance to kill him. But I guess he knew I wasn't going to be able to.'

I laid down and covered up with the blanket. I then thought back to what Reaper had said to me, about being in the same spot as me once.

Me: 'So even the Grim Reaper has a soul, huh? Not exactly the heartless monster I thought he'd be.'
