RWBY: Warriors of Vale Chapter 3: Art of Deception

Julia looked at Orajeo and nodded "Ahh okay nice to meet you Orajeo, I'm Julia as you already know" Julia bowed lightly then gave him her scroll number "There ya go, if there is anything else ya need just ring okay?" Julia gave a warm smile at Orajeo.

Julia nodded "Yea I'm free this evening, I haven't really been doing much here besides training so I'm free yea" Julia looked to Brady and grinned "Thanks Brady, I knew he wanted to fight but I know I'm not ready for it, and yea discussing Kaori would be pretty helpful"

Kaori, who hadn't left the room yet, turned over and looked at the group one more time and shook his head. But then, he smiled. They still saw him as Kaori and he knew it...or rather, she knew it. Shaula crossed her arms and chuckled. She was in disbelief; how could a group as ignorant as them become friends? It was appalling to see. Then she thought back to other moments, specifically, when she confronted Yang. Yang didn't respect her as a student, so she had no need to respect her as a teacher. Respect...that was what was on Shaula's mind. Turning to some of the obstacles, she drew her throwing cards from her pockets and began throwing them, each one landing in the center of a set of wooden dummies with bulls-eyes on them, obviously set up to practice projectile weaponry. For now, Shaula took out her frustrations on the obstacles, but soon, she would take it out on them...All in due time.

As Kaori was walking away from the gym, he was stopped by none other than Quaid.
" 'Sup, Kaori."

Kali was sitting in the library reading when she heard her scroll. Marking her place in the book she checked the scroll and saw that Orajeo was trying to contact her she answered it, "hey, need something?"

Shaula continued to throw the cards at all of the bulls-eyes before quickly spinning to face Quaid with a card held up to his throat.

"What the hell do you want..."

Kali tilted her head slightly to the side with a perplexed look on her face, "..Decided on a time for wh- Oh! You're talking about that team leader meeting you mentioned earlier.." Kali checked the time and briefly thought about her busy schedule for the rest of the day which consisted of a whole lot of nothing while simultaneously avoiding as much human contact as possible. Sighing exasperatedly she responded with "yeh... that's fine, I'll be there."

Quaid didn't flinch at all.
"As I thought, you're not Kaori at all. I'm not quite sure who or what you are, but you're not...Kaori."
He was still unsure on Kaori's gender.

Shaula narrowed her eyes at Quaid. There was no way this fool knew who or what she was; they had barely talked. And even so, she was in control since the invasion...

Shaula withdrew her card and shoved Quaid's face back.

"Your breath is horrible. Go away before I cut your throat, I'm busy." She then returned to throwing her cards.

Quaid caught Shaula's hand and lowered it. He had brushed his teeth for twice as long that morning, so he knew "Kaori" was only saying that to attempt to make him leave.
"I have a few reasons for being here, you know. You might not be Kaori, but I know that Kaori has some degree of respect for me for hurting Julia during class. Just hear me out, will you?"

Shaula gritted her teeth and turned, eyeing Quaid down.

"Kaori is not the one who respected you, I was you simpleton. Now go away before I make due on my promise. I don't want to hear anything a sympathizer like you has to say. You're just as filthy and disgusting as the faunus you are paired with." Her eyes became cold and fierce, almost staring through Quaid. It was obvious her temper was rising.

Quaid didn't seem to care at all how mad Shaula got. He could tell he was pushing her buttons.
"I'll have you know that my team is all human, and if you're comparing me to Julia I suggest you stop there. If it really was you, I suppose I was unaware of it, that much I admit to, but I've got so e information for you that you might enjoy hearing."

Upon hearing this, Shaula lowered her arms and rested them in her pockets. From within her pocket, she pressed a button unbeknownst to Quaid; the cards she threw would silently turn on and start recording.

"Alright fine, enlighten me. What is this "information" you've got? Spit it out."

Quaid cleared his throat.
"Well first, since I already know you're not Kaori, mind telling me what your real name is?"

Shaula narrowed her eyes. She knew she wasn't in a position to make demands, so she complied.

"Shaula. Now on with the info."

"Right. I take it you know Orajeo, he's got orange hair and he's the leader it Team Two. He's got an ability. It's similar to what you're doing to Kaori now, it makes him lose control of himself, and after he calms down he can't remember a thing that happened, like when I talked to him after the White Fang incident and he couldn't recall ever trying to kill me or Julia." He looked around, making sure no one was watching.
"I think you two might understand each other."

Shaula's left eye twitched. This buffoon knew nothing valuable. She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"I don't give a rat's ass about Orajeo...I really don't. Unless you have VALUABLE information, I have no use in talking to you..." Shaula deactivated the cards.

"Just...go away. You gave me a headache."

Quaid was really having fun with this. He felt evil, toying with Shaula like he was, but at least now he knew more than he could have asked for.
"One more thing." He smirked.
"I'm fond of you. I'm gynophobic towards every woman I meet." He pointed an unsuspecting finger at Shaula.
"Except for you. And I don't know why...but I want to find out."

Shaula rolled her eyes and facepalmed.

"I know your fears. I watched your damn fight. You're afraid of girls. Well, the reason you're not afraid of me is because I'm not a fucking girl. Well, I, Shaula, am...Kaori, at least this body, is not." She arched her eyebrow at him.

Torch sulked back to his room and just plopped on the floor." I need some action, or else im going to become one with the floor." Torch said in a slothish voice.
