(so tempted to have Amaya ruin the moment by teasing Naruto but I won't)

"You're welcome" Amaya said with a light grin.

Ark nodded, showing that he heard Itachi before taking a light breath as he collected his thoughts. "Ten years ago, you and someone else attacked my clan, killing everyone. Why did you do it? Who was your accomplice?" he asked, wanting to know. Those were really the only two questions that he wanted answered.

((lol thanks.))

"No problem." Hikari agreed, smiling as well. Then she got up and headed to her own bed, still holding on to Ark's weapon. "Well, I'm exhausted. But I'm not going to sleep until Ark-kun gets back." She said.

(you're welcome. Also, did you see RWBY last night? Get a reason as to why the Yellow Trailer happened and some backstory into Yang and Ruby along with some nice Yang/Blake moments)

"Keeping watch for your white knight?" Amaya asked with a light giggle as she got off Naruto's bed and headed towards her own. "Let me get a recap when I wake up. I'm beat and need sleep," she added and soon after her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light.

"Father said he was contacted by someone. Someone that was willing to train and help me become greater than what I could do on my own, all I had to do in order to 'pay' him was to take down the clan, though he never told father or myself his name. My...accomplice," here he used the word reluctantly. "was called Cinder Fall, but when they thought I was asleep, they called her by a different name: a Mrs. Uzuino," he finished, a small grin on Sasuke's face when he saw how Areku looked.

"That's not possible...Maya-chan said she died...," Ark said in shock, not seeing Itachi raise an eyebrow in confusion.

((No, didn't see it. Actually, Wolfie is bginning to suspect she's much farther behind than you. She only sees the episodes when they show up on Youtube, and she's only on episode 5 right now...))

Hikari smiled. "Yeah, okay. Sleep well." She said, leaning back against the wall with Ark's weapon still held tight against her.

Even Itachi couldn't keep his usual emotionless mask on. Uzuino? Isn't that Amaya-chan's last name? He wondered. Judging by Ark's reaction, it was definitely someone important.

(That explains things. Rooster Teeth shows it first on their website: www.roosterteeth.com first, and then put it on Youtube a week later.)

"So you and Cinder attacked my clan and killed them all because of someone that was willing to train you. I find that hard to believe was the only reason," Ark replied after taking a few breaths to calm down. He would have to ask Amaya what her mother's name was...and if it was true. If it was...then that would make things really complicated.

((Ah, that would be why. The thing is, Wolfie can't watch videos on her computer, she has to watch them on her phone. And her phone sucks with any site besides Youtube. So she'll just have to keep going at a slower rate.))

Itachi cleared his throat slightly. "I wonder, brother, if you know how these people came into contact with the one who trained you? Orochimaru is not exactly a social person." He said. I should know... He followed mentally.

(Phoenix sees...)

"Orochimaru was just the person they gave to train me. He said he was 'honoring a deal' and wearing a black cloak with red clouds. Other than that, I know nothing."

Itachi couldn't stop the low growl that made it's way past his lips. "A deal, was it? And tell me, what ever happened to Orochimaru?" He asked, reigning in his emotions once again. He knew Orochimaru hated him, and Orochimaru knew about his brother, but he never thought the snake would go after Sasuke the way he did. The very thought made him fantasize about killing the old serpent...slowly.

"Hell if I know. He comes and goes as he pleases," Sasuke said as he answered his brother's question.

"Che. Of course he would disappear." Itachi muttered, crossing his arms. "I have no further questions. Areku-kun, are you finished here?" He asked.

"I am," he replied, yawning lightly. He didn't realize how late it had gotten.

"Very well. Headmaster, I will escort Areku-kun back to his room. Thank you for allowing this interrogation." Itachi said, turning and gesturing for Ark to follow.

"You are welcome," Ozpin said as Itachi escorted Ark out of the room.

Back in the room, Hikari was steadfastly holding on, doing her best not to fall asleep. She had promised she would be waiting for Ark when he came back, and she meant to keep that promise.

Just as they reached the room, Itachi turned and placed a hand on Ark's shoulder. "Areku-kun, I do not know the details of what has happened to you, but I wish to apologize. My brother was part of it, and I hold myself responsible for the way he turned out. I would like to offer myself as a friend...please feel free to come to me if you ever need to talk, or if you have questions. Now, I believe Hikari-chan is waiting for you."

"Thanks Itachi-sensei, and I'll keep that in mind. Though I don't blame you, but this whole thing with Amaya...do you think I should tell her or do you want to give her the bad news?" he asked, knowing that Itachi had somewhat of a crush on the girl.

((Whoops! Wolfie really needs to pay closer attention. She's been making that mistake more and more often lately.))

Itachi shook his head. "I think that you, as her friend and team mate, should talk to her. This matter does not concern me, it is between the two of you." He said.

([teasing]Yes Wolfie does need to make sure that doesn't happen more often :p[/teasing])

"Alright, I'll talk to her then, most likely in the morning then. Thanks for everything Itachi-sensei," Ark said before placing his hand on the door and slowly opening it, so that he wouldn't accidentally make a sound and wake them.

Itachi nodded and bowed politely. "Good night, Areku-kun." He said, before walking away.

Inside the room, Hikari looked up sharply and smiled as soon as she saw Ark enter. "Ark-kun. How did it go?" She asked in a whisper.

"It's a little on the complicated side. Amaya's mother is alive...and she apparently helped Sasuke kill off my clan," Areku answered truthfully. He also could see that she was about ready to pass out on him.

Hikari's exhaustion disappeared when she heard his next words, and she sat up abruptly. "Oh my gosh, that's terrible! Are you going to tell her?" She asked, holding out his weapon for him to take. "Oh, here, I kept it safe for you."

"I will, though when I find Cinder... I'm going to let her explain her side of the story. After that...I'm not sure. Amaya's mother killed my clan alongside Sasuke. But she'll hate me forever if I kill her...I think," Areku said with a light sigh. "That's why it's so complicated," he added as he took Purgatory Moonlight from her hands, thanking her for keeping it safe.

Ruby was watching over Weiss at the moment, Blake and Yang already taking their shifts of watching over the white-haired princess. It wasn't that they didn't trust Ozpin and the other teachers from keeping Sasuke locked up, it was just them taking precautions and looking after one of their own."Please...wake up soon Weiss. I need my second-in-command..." she said softly.

Shaking her head, Hikari stood and took her boyfriend in a hug. "I'm sorry. I know there's not much I can do to help you with this, but I'll do my best to at least be here for you. If there's anything you need, anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me." She said.

Waking up hurt. Weiss would never admit it, but she wanted nothing more than to sleep forever. At least, until she heard a voice speaking near her. Ruby... Her mind remembered. Ruby was...upset? Because of her? She always cares too much... The heiress groaned slightly and opened her eyes. "Don't get so sentimental, I'm fine." She said, a half-hearted attempt at her usual attitude. It was ruined slightly by the teasing smirk on her face.

Areku returned the hug before whispering, "Thank you. I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to do so. Though the question is...how do I tell her?" As he sat down beside his girlfriend, thoughts went through his head: If he just outright told her, she might attack him like she did Naruto for such a bad joke and that was definitely what was going to happen if he kept the news to himself.

"We-iss?" Ruby asked, somewhat hopeful as she raised her face, not caring about how she probably looked to the white-haired girl. Seeing the girl having a smirk on her face, she grinned happily. "You're awake!" she exclaimed in her usual tone of happiness. Then the words kicked in, but somehow knew Weiss was teasing her. 'Well two could play at the game,' she thought to herself before her face took on a stern expression. "I'm allowed to get sentimental, I'm your partner after all," she said, though the tears and grin on her face ruined slightly by it.

Hikari sighed and leaned against Ark's shoulder. "Well, I guess you'll have to break it to her carefully. I don't think Maya-chan will attack you for a bad joke, because she knows you're not the kind of person who would make a joke like that. Just tell her that you were asking Sasuke questions, and he mentioned a woman with the same last name as her. Ask what her mother's name was, and just...be gentle. Try to remember that no matter what, Maya-chan has nothing to do with what happened to your family. She's not to blame, make sure she understands that, too. And maybe tell her quietly, alone somewhere." She advised tiredly.

"Heh. You're always too emotional. You should learn to control your emotions a little better, Ruby." Weiss said mildly. She couldn't muster enough energy to sound truly snobby, so she settled for teasing. "So, how long have I been out? And did we get that Uchiha kid behind bars?"

"But I thought you liked me like this...," Ruby teased. She knew she sometimes wore her emotions on her sleeve, but that's the way she was and wouldn't be changing it for the world. "And to answer your questions...You've been asleep about a few hours and yes, we got him behind bars at the moment. You're welcome to show him that you recovered if you want."

"That's probably for the best. Thanks love," he replied before giving her a light kiss on the forehead. "We should probably go ahead and get some sleep. We most likely have a busy day tomorrow," he said before getting up off of Hikari's bed. He wished that they could just lie in and sleep away the morning, but he knew that wouldn't happen.
