Itachi watched intently as Hikari continued to thrash, fighting against Ark's hold on her. "Areku-kun, move!" He shouted suddenly, just a split second before Hikari' whole body became enshrouded in flames. She floated off the floor until she was standing upright, and then a little more until her feet were inches off the ground. Her eyes glowed a bright orange, and the force of the flames lifted her hair above her head, whipping it back and forth until her hair looked like part of the flames. Itachi quickly canceled the illusion. "Hikari-chan!" He called out to his student, hoping to bring her back to reality. It seemed to work, as she gently lowered to the floor until she was standing on her own power. The flames began to die down, her hair fell and her eyes rolled back into her head just as her knees buckled, sending her crashing to the floor.

((It wasn't going to be that intense, but Wolfie suddenly imagined like an anime where someone is possessed and...this happened XD On an unrelated note RWBY IS BACK AFKNDVKNZAKVNZSBNDLB FANGIRLING SO HARD))

(Yup! RWBY is back and I loved the fight scene with the Water Dragon... I just hope fans don't see that as more Black Sun (Blake/Sun) material)

Ark jumped back the moment that Itachi said to do so, trusting his judgement. Seeing her knees buckle after Itachi cancelled the illusion, he quickly caught her and made sure that she didn't hit the floor. Looking down at her gently for a few seconds, he then turned back to Itachi. "Sensei...will she be okay?" he asked, concern deeply laced in his voice.

((That water dragon was freaking GREAT. That's what Dragonite should have looked like...and yeah, the fans are definitely using that scene for shipping purposes. It doesn't help that they're literally on a ship. Wolfie still wants Yang to wise up and go after her kitty girlfriend.))

Itachi sighed and moved in closer to check the girl's pulse. It was faint, but steady. "She'll be alright, I think. But we should get her to the infirmary, just to be sure. She'll be out cold for a few hours at least."

(Another supporter of Bumblebee, yay! Then again, I think that ship has more sense (either as friendship or a true romance) than Black Sun does to be honest...)

Ark nodded before carefully picking his girlfriend up bridal style. "I'll take her to the infirmary then Itachi-sensei." he said truthfully. "Thank you...for helping her" was the last thing he said before leaving the room.

"As her partner and her boyfriend, I promise to keep you up to date. I just hope that all of this was worth it..." Ark replied, whispering the last part. He didn't like it when Hikari was in pain like she was just a few moments ago.

(So...if you've been keeping up with RWBY Vol 4, how do you want to deal with all of these new developments? Cinder's Faction, Raven's bandits and the White Fang (both Adam's Faction and the Menagerie Faction (though I thought that was going to be a Red Fang type of deal but meh)))

((Wolfie's only up to date as far as YouTube, and possibly not even that. But she thinks we should work in what we can, and just take it our own direction. It's already pretty much an AU, so we might as well just do our own world-building.))

Itachi nodded. "Thank you." He said, not hearing the last part of what Ark had said. Though in his mind he was thinking the same thing. "Go now, quickly."

(Have you met Blake's parents yet? If so then you're caught up on RWBY from youtube standards. And we can do that *nods*)

Areku nodded before leaving, his destination being the Beacon Infirmary. And no matter what happened or the consequences that it brought, he wasn't going to be leaving her side until she woke up.

((Yes, Wolfie ended up seeing the episode about an hour after posting that XD))

It was a few hours before Hikari would wake. When she did, it was slowly, and with a groan. She felt as if she were underwater and swimming to the surface. Her eyes opened, and it took a moment for them to adjust. When they did, the first thing she saw was Ark. "Hey..." She said, her voice raspy.

"And so will you if your Semblance works like what you're thinking it will do," he replied honestly.

(So...how about a great fight for the end of Volume 4? *sarcasm*)

"I know. It's just kind of scary that it happened without my control." Hikari said.

((What do you mean? Wolfie liked the end, even though it left things on a major cliffhanger.))

(the fight with the Nuckaleve was a little underwhelming to me to be honest. Also, you did it again. Rosemary)

Ark nodded, knowing what Hikaru was talking about.

((Whoops! Sorry, fixed it.))

It took some looking, but eventually Hikari managed to find a training room that could handle any intense fire she set off. "Okay...now all I need to do is...uh...how do I activate my semblance?"
