Molten Fox
Chapter 27: The chill day... or something like that.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI spent the next half hour explaining to Yang about my thoughts on her sister and that I have feelings for her. Sure I could simply lie to her, but I think she would have pounded my head in with her fists if I did that. When I finished we were outside sitting under a tree. I scratch my head as Yang stared off in the distance.
“From what you said, it sounds like this has been going on for years.” Yang said.
“Like seven years in a world that has dinos in it.’ I thought as I shifted a bit. After some time Yang sighed.
“I… don’t really care.” Yang said simply. She turned to me. “For as long as I can remember I protected Ruby ever since she and I was young. I knew things about her that she didn’t know of before.”
“Like… who she likes?” I asked. Yang snorted.
“You mean she likes girls? Yeah, maybe she’s saw me with a few guys and girls in the past and wondered about it. But anyway I believe she will do go with you Viri.” Yang blinked and her eyes went red as she frowned, leaning forward. “But if you do anything that would hurt her, I’ll break every bone in your body. Got it?”
“G-got it.” I told her.
“Good.” Yang said as she pulled away and stood up. “Now then, I have to go find someone for a textbook.”
With that she walked off, leaving me alone under the tree. After some time to myself and my thoughts, I stood up and headed back inside. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my scroll just to verify the current date. Aunty was right, it was as if we never left. As I continued down the halls I overheard some other students talking about Ruby’s Jerboa. Some say that it’s an oversized jumpy rat while others say it was something else. I mostly heard that it looked cute and fuzzy, which made me smile.
I soon spotted Indigo walking down the hall, this time he wasn’t in a hurry. Following beside him was Oni, upon sight of the beowolf I smiled having not seen him for a long time. I couldn’t help but run up to them with a smile on my face.
“Hey you two!” I greeted happily. Indigo stopped and so did Oni. He looked at me with an arched brow.
“What’s gotten you into such a chipper mood?” Indigo asked with a little smile. Oni sniffed me and tilted his head before sniffing again. I kneeled down and scratched behind his ears.
“I’m just happy to see you two, is there something wrong with that?” I asked them. Indigo shook his head before saying.
“No it’s just… nevermind.” He said and shook his head before sighing. “So I heard about you and Ruby.” He said with a smirk. I blushed at this as he chuckled. “Honestly, can’t say I didn’t see it coming.” He said with a chuckle.
“Really, really! How fast can news got around?!” I asked a bit annoyed. I blushed a bit before looking at Indi. “Sorry for that.”
“Ruby found me and Blake during lunch, her face was red as a tomato before she told us.” He said, informing me of how he knew. I blinked at this.
“Oh… right…” I shifted a bit before whispering. “So… what did she say? Nothing bad… I uh, hope.”
“Nah nothing like that. When we asked her what she thoughts about, her response was nothing but positives.” He said, leaning against the wall as he spoke. I blushed a bit more at this while letting out a breath that I was holding. “She really likes you, Viri. I think you got yourself a keeper.” He said with a chuckle.
“Yeah… I think so too.” I said before gulping. “I also got a bad reminder that if anything bad happens to her and it was my fault, Yang will bash my face in.”
“Hey, if you really do love her then that’ll never happen.” Indigo said in an encouraging tone. As he said that my face went completely red.
“Ahh, I uh, don’t know it’s really that time to say I love her, but I do really really like her and I would never Umm, err, uh, what were we talking about again? Something about Oni? How is Oni anyway? Ahaha~” I rambled as I looked down at Oni with a forced smile.
“Never thought I’d see you like this, Viri.” Indigo said with a laugh. Oni chuckled as well but nuzzled into my leg, signaling that he cared. “But seriously, if you do really really like like her…” He said, using my term instead of the word love. “Then you have nothing to worry about.” He said. I stared at him for a few moments before nodding.
“Yeah… yeah, your right.” I said shifted a bit. “I just don’t want to mess it up.” He patted my shoulder encouragingly before saying
“Hey, if you ever have some relationship questions just come find me and Blake.” He said with smile.
“Yeah, I will… hey, where is Ruby?” I asked him. He shrugged before answering.
“Last I saw her, she was heading towards the library.” He said, motioning towards the direction of said library. I nodded before I started to head in that direction.
“Thanks!” said back to Indigo and Oin. He waved at me as I hurried along. I got to the library and enter into it. The place had a few students studying as I looked around. I soon found Ruby sitting at a table with her Jerboa sleeping on the table. I smiled as I walked over to the table and sat down beside Ruby.
“Hey.” I greeted her. Ruby turned with a smile.
“Hi.” she greeted back with a small blush on her.
“So… went to Indi and Blake?” I said to her. She smiled sheepishly.
“They told you?” Ruby asked.
“Indigo did, ran into him just a few minutes ago.” I told her. Ruby simply smiled at this before I continued. “So… is this a thing now?”
“What? After what I did in the hallway you have doubts?” Ruby asked with a chuckle.
“Well, I don’t know. I never did something like this before and I’m nervous and well-” I stopped when Ruby looked at me scared.
“Am I making you nervous?” She asked.
“No, nonononono that’s not it, it’s just umm…” my eyes dart around a bit as I was sorta panicking. “I never had a… well, a close other, a boy or girlfriend before so I’m nervous of messing it up.”
The both of us stared at each other for a moment before we started to laugh. We soon stopped when we looked at each other before Ruby spoke. “How about we just… see how this goes?”
“Yeah… I like that plan.” I told her with a smile.
“Oh my Makers, just kiss already!” a voice asked us. We both turned to see Iilah staring at us with a few books beside her. “I don’t want any mushy stuff in my library, do that elsewhere.”
We watched her take her books and went off into the library. The two of us were silent before we started to laugh.
“Well, this will make things… interesting.” Ruby said with a smile. I nodded.
“Yeah, it sure will.” I said as I moved my chair beside her and gave her a one arm hug and kiss on the cheek. Ruby blushed at this before getting excited.
“Oh! I think I figure out how to make those laser swords!” Ruby said.
“No way, really!?” I asked as Ruby pulled out a notebook.
“Yes, I got to see them a bit closer at hand and if we use Dust we could actually build one!” With that the two of us started to talk about building a laser sword, only as really really really close friends. Which was also known as a couple… that’s what it’s like right?
The next couple weeks went on smoothly, both in school and Ruby and I’s relationship. Everyone that knows about it were happy about it and didn’t cause trouble, which was a relief to me. The past seven years in the Ark helped hone both our skills in certain subjects and our fighting skill. We could even stand up to Indigo when we sparred against him, only to get knocked around with his giant shadow fist.
At this point both the rest of Team RWBY and Indigo wanted to know what’s up with us and Hopper, Ruby’s Jerboa. It was increasingly hard to come up with excuses to change the subject, eventually someone heard us complaining about it and had demanded, along with the other, for the truth. They had us outside away from the school since Iilah didn’t allow us to hold this meeting in the library.
“Okay you two, speak up. What’s going on?” Weiss asked both Ruby and me.
“Well, the two of us are now together and-” I stopped when Yang groaned at this.
“Not that! We already know that!” she proclaimed as she crossed her arms.
“We’re tired of the multitude of excuses you two give us.” Blake said, though not as loudly as Weiss did thankfully.
“All we want is the truth, that’s it, nothing else.” Indigo said, having his arm around Blake as he spoke. I looked over at Ruby as she did with me before the both of us sighed.
“Well… we were kinda… gone for a while.” I said simply.
“Yeah, to a place of Dinosaurs and lasers!” Ruby said happily. Everyone simply stared at us as if we were crazy.
“We asked you not to lie to us.” Weiss said as she glared at us.
“Relax Weiss.” Indigo said, earning a sigh from the schnee. Yang looked at the two of us before speaking up.
“Guys… I don’t think they’re lying.” she said. Blake glanced at her blonde teammate before saying.
“How can you tell?” Blake asked with an arched brow.
“I know when Ruby is lying, she’s not lying now.” Yang said before shifting a bit. “Also she learned how to fist fight as if she practice for a few years. There’s no way she did that over a few weeks to a few months.”
“Also, they seem more… older than they look, also there’s the big fact of that.” Weiss said, pointing at Hopper. “And the facts that, for some odd reason, Viri has a younger sister.”
“Is there something wrong about that?” I asked, not liking the way Weiss was talking about Qo. Weiss looked over at me and shook her head.
“No, it’s not that. It’s just, before you were an only child and then, all of a sudden, you have a younger sister.” Weiss explains.
“Who just so happens to look like a kid version of you.” Indigo said, adding to Weiss’s words. I kinda played with my fingers a bit before speaking.
“Well, you see my aunt came by and asked me to do a mission for her, I agreed and was about to teleport me off when Ruby came around and got caught in the same teleport. So for the next seven years we were off world and-”
“What!? Seven years!?” Yang yelled in surprised, making everyone jump.
“Uh, yeah…” I said to her.
“Wow, seven years… what was holding you back there?” Indigo asked with a raised brow while rubbing his ear, having been sitting next to Yang when she shouted.
“Mostly the task and my aunts curiosity of the place.” I told him.
“We also got some cool armor as well.” Ruby said.
“Yeah! We went super fast in it!” I said happily.
“Really, is that all?” Yang asked.
“No there some other things that we didn’t get to figure out.” Ruby said with a shrug.
“What was it like there?” Blake asked curious to know of the Ark
“Well, from what I saw we were on a large island filled with different animals like Hopper here.” I pointed at Hopper who was sleeping in Ruby’s lap. “Also Dinosaurs, large dinos of all kinds.”
“I got to ride on a T-Rex!” Ruby said happily now remembering that. Everyone blinked at this, not knowing if that were true.
“Right… so, how was the armor?” Yang asked, not sure where to go with it. “Was it comfortable?”
Both our faces dropped as we looked at each other as the memory of what happened when we got them came back… also what happened a little later. We both blushed at this thought as we continued.
“Oh yeah… it was comfy…” Ruby said.
“Yeah, and that’s it, nothing else happened that night… yes.” I said as I cough into my hand. Indigo and Blake looked at us oddly the most, knowing something was up but said nothing. Yang seemed to sorta get it before smirking.
“Oh~, sure nothing happened that night, I totally believe you.” she said with that smirk. This brought a chuckle out from Indigo but was quickly silenced by Blake with a simply nudge of her elbow.
“I’m gonna take a wild guess and say that something embarrassing happened that day?” Blake asked after giving Indigo a glare. The both of us stared at her before remembering what Rockmond said about non-soundproof walls.
“You can say that.” I said in a bit of a higher tone.
“Well if you ever want get it off your chest, I won’t mind lending an ear.” Blake said to us and we nodded at her words. It was a high probability that we might tell her as it’s really uncomfortable to hide away for long. I looked over at Ruby and saw her nod a bit. Yeah, maybe telling Blake since she would be the best to tell. I know Yang wouldn’t be the greatest and Weiss…
Both me and Ruby stared at the Ice Queen as she looked at the two of us. “W-what’s wrong? Do I have something on my face?”
“No.” both me and Ruby said.
“I have a question for the both of you, it’s just something I want to know out curiosity. Did you two ever… miss all of us?” Indigo asked, tilting his head a bit as he spoke. Ruby and I stared at him before looking at each other.
“From day one.” Ruby answered, me simply nodding.
“There were hard moments during that time of not able to see you guys.” I said. He smiled a little at the answer.
“So what was you your task over there anyway?” Yang asked, curious to know the reason for the departure. I leaned back a bit.
“It was supposed to fight and defeat someone there.” I told them. I scratch my head a bit as I thought about it. “Which I passed… I think.”
“You think?” Indigo asked with a raised brow
“Well yeah, I think.” I leaned to the one side. “On one hand it was defeated with my help.” I then leaned on the other side. “One the other I wasn’t the one that defeat it.”
“Then who did?” Weiss asked with her arms crossed. I smiled at her.
“A friend of ours named Lana.” I said. “She had some personal issues with it.”
“I wonder how Lana is doing?” Ruby asked.
“I think she’s doing good.” I said to her. “I wonder if she could… na never mind.”
“What?” Ruby asked.
“I thought what she would think if she came here but remembered that she can’t.” I explained.
“Oh… maybe we bring pictures!” Ruby said.
“Oh yeah, that could work!” I said happily.
“So Lana is a friend, I imagine?” Indigo asked once more as Blake leaned her head onto his shoulder. “And you’ve mentioned she had personal problems with your target?” He added.
“Yeah… it kinda did some messed up things to her and her family.” I said sadly.
“Oh…” Indigo muttered to himself. He nodded and accepted the answer but I get the feeling that he knew were being as vague as we could be. I felt Ruby lean onto me which made me smile. I wrapped an arm around her as I spoke.
“In the end she got her revenge, now has a big job that’s important to her.” I told him. Indigo nodded with a little smile before glancing at the side, his gaze landing on Iilah, who was listening in on the whole conversation.
Iilah sat there in silence as she seemed to processes this. “I got nothing.”
“Wait, why are you here?” Yang asked her. Iilah blinked at her before frowning.
“Is it wrong for me to go anywhere I want?” she said as she crossed her arms. “Besides, you’re the only group that I think is tolerable.”
“Jeez, don’t have to be rude about it.” I muttered a bit. She simply shrugs.
“Whatever.” Iilah said.
“Iilah.” Blake called out for the faunus child. When Iilah looked at Blake she was greeted with a disappointed glare from Blake. “What have I told you about treating others.” She said. Iilah frowned before muttering.
“Treat them nicely…” she muttered. With a nod, Blake then patted on an empty space between her and Indigo. Without as much as a peep, Iilah walked over and squeezed in between the two. Iilah still grumbled a bit but for a moment there was a small curl of a smile as she sat down.
Before anyone could talk the tree above us rustle and Qo poked her head out.
“Hello!” she greeted with a upside down. “Virdro pah?” [How’s everyone?]
“Uh, what?” Yang asked.
“She’s asking how is everyone.” Indigo said, giving little Qo a friendly wave of his hand. “Mu los flogah, mal Qo.” Indigo said to the smiling child. [We are fine, Little Lightning]
Qo looked at him for a moment before looking at me with the same smile. “Rok mindoraan mii! Rokro krahus!” [He understand us! He’s cool!]
“You known him for about... Ten minutes.” I said with a snicker.
“Ahrk?” Qo asked before hopping down. [and?] I arched a brow at her and was about to speak but Indigo spoke up first.
“She thinks I’m cool, cute.” Indigo said with a chuckle. Qo hopped down from the tree and stood up giggling. She was wearing a simple t-shirt and pants with no shoes. I tried to get her to wear shoes but that lead me getting a shoe in the face. So I don’t bother any more.
Qo looked over at Indi and Blake. Her eyes landed on Iilah as she stared at her for a few moments. Iilah looked around as Qo looked at her.
“W-what?” Iilah asked her. Qo pointed at her before looking at her.
“Los rek kid do daar ziin?” Qo asked. [Is she the kid of these two?] this got the attention of both Blake and Indigo.
“What?! What did she say?!” Iilah asked. Blake looked up at Indigo at this.
“What did she say?” She asked. Before Indigo answered, I got Qo’s attention.
“Kolosro Monah?” I asked. [Where’s Mother?]
“Hi seik Bormahsebormah?” Qo replied. [You mean Grandfather?]
“Bek, kolosro los rok sis” I asked. [Sure, where’s is he sis?]
“Nearby, Zu’u lorot. Zu’u dreh ni mindok.” Qo answered as she walked over and sat on Ruby’s lap. Qo looked up at her with a cheerful smile. [Nearby, I think. I don’t know.]
I frowned at her. “Fos dreh hi seik Hi dreh ni mindok?!” [What do you mean You don’t know?!]
“Zu’u went vau fah paagol.” Qo answered simply as Ruby petted her head. Qo seemed to really enjoy that as she leans into her hand and her tail started to wag. [I went off for a walk.]
“You two really are sisters.” Indigo said with a chuckle. Blake smiled at his words. It wasn’t long before Qo seemed to be purring to Ruby’s petting.
“Yeah we’re sisters, and really close.” I said with a smile.
“Really close.” Ruby said with a snicker. I looked at her with a frown.
“Why do you say tha-” before I could finish Ruby reached up and scratched behind my ears. I made a goofy grin as I leaned into her hand.
“See, really close.” Ruby said with a laugh. Both mine and Qo’s tails wagged at Ruby’s petting.
“Ah there you are, little Qo.” Spoke the voice of Father behind me. Glancing back, I was able to see him as he touched ground and folded his wings behind his back. Everyone looked at him in silence before Yang spoke up.
“You know, I’m should be surprised by this by now but I’m not.” she said simply before smiling. “So how goes it good looking?”
“Yang!” Weiss snapped at her. “Really?”
“What?” Yang asked her. I would say something to her but… petting.
“Hello Yang, everyone.” Father said, greeting everyone with a bow of his head. His gaze soon landed on Iilah. “Ah yes, you are Iilah correct?” He asked.
“U-Umm, yes?” she answered.
“I’ve heard a lot of things about you, little one.” He said, still smiling as he spoke. Iilah looked up at him and gulped. “Do not fret, little one, I’m simply happy to see you being well taken care of.” He said to her.
“Ruby… stop…” I said as she petted me.
“But you’re cute like this.” she said before scratching some more. I was just pudding to her as she does this. Father chuckled at this, making blush a bit more because of it.
“Perhaps I should leave you all to what you were doing, I was merely worried that Qo had wandered off.” He said with a nod of his before turning to leave.
“Hey, you can always come back handsome!” Yang yelled out happily before getting hit by Weiss.
“Really! Do you have to do that!?” Weiss asked angrily.
“Yes I do, and I’m not ashamed.” Yang replied. Indigo rolled his eyes and turned to look at the rest of us.
“So me and Blake were thinking about checking out the Pony town nearby and wanted to know if any of you would want to come with.” Indigo said, gaining a fearful look from Iilah to which he unwrapped his hand from shoulder to pat her head in a comforting manner. “You don’t have to come with if you don’t want to.”
“Zu’u laan wah bo!” Qo said happily. I blinked a few times before realizing Ruby had stopped petting me. I pushed myself up and crossed my arms. [I want to go!]
“Can’t believe you did that…” I said. Ruby giggled.
“You enjoyed it.” she said. I grumbled a bit before Ruby continued. “I’ll pet you some more later.”
I didn’t say anything at first before speaking. “You’re an evil woman, you know that?”
“Yup.” she said with a grin.
“So anyone up for a trip to town?” Indigo asked once again.
“I’m up for it.” Yang said.
“I believe both me and Viri are coming.” Ruby said with a smile. I simply nodded.
“Zu’u los coming ahk!” Qo said. [I’m coming too!]
“I’ll come.” Weiss said. “Have to make sure nothing bad happens that was caused by us.”
“Who made you leader?” Yang asked. We laughed at this before I looked over at Iilah. She didn’t say anything and looked down.
“Do you want to come with us?” Blake asked her in a soft tone. Indigo looked down at her with concern before saying.
“We’re not going to make you if you don’t.” Indigo said in tone similar to Blake’s. Iilah looked up at them before opening her mouth.
“Los hi coming?” Qo asked, kneeling near her. [Are you coming?]
“Huh?” Iilah said before Qo continued.
“Los hi coming, Los hi coming, Los hi coming?” Qo asked repeatedly before Iilah spoke.
“Ah!Alright I’m coming!” she said as Qo smiled happily.
“Yay!” she cheered.
“You sure?” Indigo asked Iilah just to be sure. Iilah slowly nodded at this. “Alright then.” He said before standing up with the help of his shadow. He held his hand out for Blake and helped her up to her feet before offering his hand to Iilah, who hesitantly took it before yelping in surprise as Indigo pulled her up and onto his shoulder.
I smiled at this before seeing everyone else stand up.
“Need some help?” Ruby asked me as she offered her hand to me. I smiled as I took it.
“Thanks.” I said as she pulled me up. At that point I felt someone jump onto my shoulders.
“Amativ!” Qo said happily. [Onwards!]
“Ahnok, Wo saag hi vis ruknaar vok nau dii nau dii suld!?”I asked her annoyed. [Hey, Who said you can climb up on my on my shoulders!?] Qo giggled at this as well as Ruby.
“You two look… Qiib together.” Ruby said with a smile. [Cute] I blushed at this as I saw Qo smiled down at me.
“Fine…” I said with a sigh, making Qo cheer happily. Indigo soon led the way, saying he knew a safe path to take to town thanks to Tak. The walk there was peaceful, almost relaxing even but just to sure we all had our weapons in case of danger. I glanced over at Ruby and saw that not only she had Crescent Rose, but also Phoenix Rose. I didn’t say anything but I smiled a bit more.
We soon exited the forest and the town was in sight. I could see that Iilah grew nervous at the sight, Indigo and Blake saw this too. Blake gave her a comforting smile and rubbed her back a bit, which managed to calm her down a bit.
“Zu’u koraav ponies!” Qo said as she pointed at some towns folk that were flying around.[I see ponies!]
“Looks like we’re here.” I said.
“Man, I can never get used to the sight of them.” Yang said, earning a glare from Weiss.
“Yang that’s rude.” Weiss snapped at her.
“What? It’s true.” Yang said defensively. “They’re horses… on two legs, and with feet.”
I rolled my eyes at this as I looked at Indigo, seeing Iilah on his shoulders as we walked. Blake walked beside him as we entered the town.
“I’ve never really been here before, I’ve seen it from the distance but never really bothered to check out the town.” He said as we passed by a few ponies. Those ponies stared at us as we passed but didn’t say anything. Not only that I also saw some Faunus walking around and had some stalls up to sell their wears. Iilah seemed nervous as she looked around at the place.
“You need to chill Iilah.” I said to her. She frowned at me for that.
“Why should I calm down?” she asked me as she watched some more ponies walk past us.
“Well, I don’t think anyone would think that a young girl could really be some void nightmare being.” I pointed out to her. She blinked at this as she thought about it.
“Besides, do you really think me and Blake would let anyone hurt you?” Indigo said to her with a lighthearted smirk.
“That’s… true…” Iilah said, smiling a little before saying. “Well, since one of the others couldn’t even get a hit on you then I think I’m safe.”
“Hey!” The rest of us except Qo and Indigo snapped at her. Indigo laughed at this before shaking his head, a smile on his face. The rest of us grumbled a bit which made Qo look confused. We came across an odd building, it stood out from the rest due to it looking like a giant carousel. The windows displayed mannequins and fancy clothing, most were female clothing though one was that of a male.
“That is an odd choice for a building design.” Indigo said, wondering why anyone would make a building such as this.
“Looks like this a clothing store.” Blake said, noticing the display windows.
“Nust frolok malbrii!” Qo said, pointing at the dresses. [They look pretty!] She looked down at me. “Vis Zu’u lost gein? Lig?” [Can I have one? Please?]
I raised an eyebrow and looked at the dresses. “Zu’u dreh ni mindok. .. Zu’u lorot osos do niin los expansive…” I said. [I don’t know... I think some of them are expansive…]
Qo placed her chin on top of my head sadly.
“We don’t know that for sure.” Indigo said before sighing. “Any of you want to check it out?” He asked, looking back at us. The rest of us nodded as we all headed inside the clothing store. Inside we saw more mannequins with more dresses and suits as well. We all went around to look at them. Yang seemed uninterested in them as she simply skimmed through the clothes as Weiss took time to see each one.
“Oh this looks lovely!” she said as she pulled a light blue and white dress. I simply smiled as I put Qo down so she could look around.
“Ulaakei, ahrk dreh ni kren naan.” I said to her. [Careful, and don’t break anything.]
“Okay!” Qo said as she disappeared behind some rakes.
“Look around if you’re interested.” Indigo said to Iilah as he gently placed her down. She nodded a bit shyly before walking off. Indigo then turned to me and said.”If don’t mind me asking, how did Qo came to be?” He asked out of the blue. I looked at him in surprise before he said. “Sorry, it’s just something that’s been in my head for a while.”
“Ah, well the truth is Qo is really a clone of me.” I said to him, gaining an odd look from him as a result. “When Ruby and I finished the task, Lana helped me out with something and, after some time later, Qo came to be.” I turned to see Qo holding up a blue shirt and started sniffing it. I chuckled a bit. “She is a bit of a curious one though, almost like any young kid.” Indigo looked at her as she moved from clothing rack to clothing rack with an arched brow
“I mean, I see similarities but I can’t see how she’s a clone.” Indigo said, glancing at Qo then at me.
“Well I asked Lana to have some differences to her so she’s not an exact copy, what she did I have no clue.” I told hem.
“Is it odd to say that I think she looks a little bit like Ruby?” He asked, glancing at Ruby as she browsed through many dressed though not as enthusiastic as Weiss. I stared at him for a moment.
“Yeah well, what of it?” I asked as I looked at Qo and Ruby. Sure their air colours, kinda, look the same and one of Qo’s eyes was silver. Could just random pick… right?
“If you said she was a clone, she would’ve looked exactly like you but she not only looks slightly different but her personality.” Indigo said, pointing out the many things that make Qo well… Qo. “She’s like a fusion clone between you and Ruby.”
I stared at him for a long time before laughing. “Haha, that’s a good one Indigo.” He gave me an odd look after I had finished laughing.
“That wasn’t a joke.” He said with a shake of his head. I chuckled a bit more at this.
“Come on, Lana took only a bit of my hair there’s no way that-” I stopped for a moment as I thought about it. The beast did drew some of Ruby’s blood in the fight and Lana did use her drones to heal her so… she could of… my face went white when I came to that point. “She used both of our DNA’s to make Qo… oh my Mother.”
“You make it sound like a bad thing.” Indigo said with arched brow and with concerned tone.
“Well it’s not… really it’s not but...I…” I stuttered as I looked at Qo who was showing Iilah some clothes she found. “I… I… I don’t think Qo is really my ‘little sister’ if I’m thinking this right.”
“If you think it like that then yes, she’s yours and Ruby’s kid.” He said before chuckling. “Nice going, Viri. Moving on up in your relationship.” He said with a smirk. I gave him a blushing glare.
“It’s not funny!” I told him as I slightly started to panic a bit. “Lana did this, she snuck a bit of her DNA into it and done it without telling us… that clever woman… How am I going to tell Ruby? We just became a thing just a few weeks ago and now I have to tell her about Qo… And Qo already knows about it.”
I began to pace a bit. “For the past week or so she has been calling me Mom and such, it wasn’t really for fun, it was her natural instinct. Nuz I’ve fun ek wah faan zey briinah, fos waan tol lost thesk ek vok ko klov? Fos dreh Zu’u dreh? Fos dreh Zu’u dreh?!” [But I’ve tell her to call me sister, what if that has mess her up in head? What do I do? What do I do?!]
“Alright chill out.” Indigo said, taking a step back after my outburst. “If she calls you mom, why not let her, it’s only natural right?” He asked. I took some deep breaths as I tried to calm myself.
“I… I need to talk to Qo…” I said as I moved over to Qo. “Ahnok, vis Zu’u tinvaak voth hi?”[Hey, can I speak with you?]
Qo looked over at me and nodded as Iilah frowned. “I still don’t understand you!”
I ignored her as I took Qo away from everyone and kneeled down. “Qo, do you understand me?” Qo blinked before giving me a nod and a soso gestur. “Okay, so, remember back then when you call me Mom? Can I ask why?”
“Dahik nii felt viilut.” Qo answered. [Because it felt right.]
“Yeah… well, I’ve been telling you to call me sister, but that was a mistake on my part.” I said to her.
“Zu’u mindok.” Qo said quickly. [I know.] This made me blink at her.
“You do?” I asked which she nodded. “Okay... Did you tell this to anyone else?”
“Yeah, Monahsemonah ahrk monah Dovahmiin.” Qo said. [Yeah, Grandmother and mother Ruby.] I blinked as I realized Qo called Ruby by Dovah. “Dovahmiin lor Zu’u kiird um nuz Monahsemonah fun ek tol nii lost vahzah, rek dremsil ahzuk tir muldeytorax, med hi drey.” [Ruby thought I was playing around but Grandmother told her that it was true, she kinda freaked out a bit, like you did.]
“... You saw that.” I said.
“Yep.” Qo answered with a smile. I sighed before looking at Qo.
“I’m… I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to tell you a lie…” I felt some tears coming up to my eyes as the guilt that I have done came up. I felt Qo arms wrap around me and hugged.
“Can I now call you… mommy?” Qo asked in rusty english. I didn’t say anything before I hug her.
“Yeah kid, go ahead.” I whispered. After a few minutes Qo spoke.
“...Can Zu’u ahk lost karaas?” she asked. [...Can I also have a dress?] I chuckle a bit.
“I’ll see what I can do.” I told her. I watch her lit up before running back to the clothes. I sighed and rubbed my eyes before walking back over to Indigo.
“Crisis over?” He asked with an arched brow. I shifted a bit.
“As it stand, I’m a twenty year old mother with my nineteen year old girlfriend who has a mindset of a twenty-six or twenty-seven year old. I believe so.” I told him. He shook his head at this with a chuckle.
“If it helps, you’ve got your friends to help you out.” He said with a little smile.
“Yeah… going to be one heck of a ride.” I said as we all heard a door open and a white unicorn with a purple mane came out and stared at us. She kinda looked familiar to me. She seemed to be wearing some simple clothings and looks like she wasn’t expecting anyone to come into the store.
“Starting now.”

If you take DNA from yourself and use it to clone someone, then it’s he/she is a brother or sister. If you take your DNA and mix it with someones else's and make a clone he/she won’t be a brother/sister.
Oh boy
