Ch 25: Human

"Shut it Nyx!" A pissed looking Maru stormed out of the bullhead carrying Rosa who had fallen asleep during the trip.

Behind her Nyx stumbled out looking worse for wear and very exasperated. "For fucks sake Maru shes a human! A fucking human!"

Before he could react Maru was in front of him with her hand over his mouth sending him a death glare whilst she looked around in case anyone was listening in. "Shut up you fucking idiot or someone's gonna hear." She practically hissed at him.

He sighed and grabbed her hand. "You're the fucking idiot why would you bring her here I may not have to much of a problem with humans but I sure as hell know others do."

Maru growled under her breath. "I couldn't just leave her there, she was living on the streets!"

Nyx clenched his teeth. "Then you should of left her there or taken her to an orphanage, it would of been fucking safer then a White Fang base of all things."

"You and I both know how shitty it is on the streets, how could you even suggest letting her go through that! And I would of taken her to an orphanage if I had the time!" Maru's voice was full of hostility at this.

Another angry growl left Nyx's throat. "I know it's shitty but what are you gonna do if Adam or someone worse finds her, what if the fang finds out that you, the person who is practically the second in command of the white fang, is protecting a human!" Maru tried to interject but Nyx stopped her. "No fucking listen for once! If she's found not only will she be in danger but your actions will affect Sienna and you know how keen those creepy Albain brothers or even that psycho Taurus will be to latch onto that and usurp control that Sienna has been trying to keep! Sienna puts a lot of trust in you and you need to start thinking before you act instead of just acting! I know you're not stupid so use that brain of yours!" 

Maru cringed at his harsh words but she knew he was right, she didn't think this through at all. "But what are we supposed to do with her, we can't go back out right now, we only just snuck past that damned Atlas security."

Nyx sighed due to Maru effectively looking like a kicked puppy, he groaned. "It's too late to regret bringing her here now we're just gonna have to take her to Sienna and maybe call Virdis so he knows what's happening." Maru froze up at the mention of Sienna, so Nyx put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry she won't be too worried she's way more lenient on you compared to everyone else and she won't hurt the kid you know that." Maru just nodded in response. "Okay now that we have a game plan, take off your coat and wrap it around her so no one will see her. Then we'll head to your room and ill call Virdis and Sienna got it."

Maru nodded and did what she was told, she wrapped Rosa in her coat carefully making sure not to wake her up. Then the three of them headed towards her room.

"Well this is quite the development."A chuckle echoed from the dark, a woman stepped out from the shadows, her hair cut neck length seemed to absorb all light that surrounded it and her deep red eyes could remind anyone of pools of blood.

The woman smirked whilst watching the retreating figures of Maru and Nyx, her eyes lingering on the wrapped up form of Rosa as she licked her lips. "The loyal dog of Khan bringing a human into this place, oh the master is going to be very pleased."

With a chuckle and a swish of her cloak her form was replaced with a singular bat that retreated silently.

The sound of the door opening with a loud creak caused both faunus to look up from their conversation or as others would say argument. "Nyx I swear to god if this is just you trying to get Maru in trouble again I will skin you with a fork." Sienna who had just walked into Maru's room looked as though she had just come from a war zone, her threat made both Maru and Nyx shiver even if it wasn't aimed at the former.

Following behind the disgruntled woman was Virdis, he also looked tired and with a yawn he asked. "What do you two even want? It's like three in the morning." He yawned again looking at them blearily. 

Maru and Nyx looked at each other and seemed to have a conversation with their eyes, Maru's narrowed slightly trying to threaten Nyx to tell them but he stood firm and refused to give in to her threats and telling her to fix her own mess.

The two stayed in this silent conversation for a good minute getting on the nerve of the already irritated Sienna. "If you two don't hurry up i'm going to call Swan and tell her to bring the rustiest fork she can find."

The threat made both faunus gulp and look at each other one last time before Maru sighed."well hehe…." She chuckled nervously before swiftly bowing her head and putting her hands together above it. "IbroughtahumangirlintothehideoutanddidntthinkoftheconsequencesImsorrypleasedonthurtme!"

The room was completely silent, so silent that if a pin were to be dropped, it would echo. 

Slowly Maru opened an eye before cautiously looking up,she was met with three faces of pure confusion, the silence was broken by Virdis, the first of the three to regain the ability to speak. "To be honest I lost you at I."

Sienna groaned, rubbing her temples, grumbling she said. "I can feel a headache coming." Her hand moved to the bridge of her nose now and she sighed loudly. "Okay take it slow this time so we can actually understand you or the threat of the fork will become a reality."

Maru quickly regained her composure to start explaining the predicament she had caused but as she was opening her mouth to speak the sheets of her bed ruffled causing her to freeze in place.

Rosa, now awake but still trying to wake up completely, could see the blurry outline of someone sitting on the side of the bed, with a tired rub of her eyes she smiled sleepily and asked."Mama?"

With the new addition of the pink haired little girl Sienna started to rub her temples again and grumbled. "This is going to be a long night." She turned to the still sleepy looking lizard faunus. "Call Swan tell her to bring my headache medication and some coffee. I dont think there's gonna be much sleep tonight."

Virdis just groaned whilst pulling out his scroll.
