RWBY: The Black Reaper

" Tai the breakfast is ready. Call the girls". Mesa called the blonde father.

"OK" responded Taiyang

It has been a week since Mesa started living with Taiyang's family. During this week, Mesa took the responsibilities of cooking food for the family. At first Taiyang was against the idea. However, when Mesa insisted on cooking the food. Tai reluctantly agreed to give him a chance to try cooking.

It didn't take more than one meal to change Tai's opinion to total approval, as Mesa's cooking was far better his. And while the small family eating the delicious meal. Mesa was celebrating mentally [ haha… i will not eat the garbage that tai proudly called food again]. Even though Mesa being an assassin in his past life, he was a great cook since his favorite hobby aside from killing was eating all type of delicacies.

It didn't take long before two blurs red and yellow arriving and sitting in front of him.

The red girl spoke first " Morning Mesa, what did you make today for the dessert?"

Taiyang spoke immediately " Ruby, first eat your meal then look for the desserts ", then he looked at Yang, who was trying to sneak a look at the deserts behind Mesa, and said " That's include you as well Yang"

"Yes Dad" Ruby/Yang

Taiyang smiled and looked at Mesa saying " I admit that even me get excited to see what you are going to cook next. When you said you want to cook i never thought you would be this good"

Before Mesa could say a word yang said " ye, dad cook tastes bad compares to yours. You should teach dad how to cook properly"

Taiyang's said bitterly " I'm not that bad, his cooking just slightly better than mine"

Ruby and Yang laughed at their father's miserable face.

After finishing the breakfast, Mesa went to the backyard and resumed his training.

Over the past week, Mesa kept his training on a daily routine. His training divided into two parts; the first was focused on his physical fitness, doing all kind of running, push ups … etc. The other part was his eyes control training. Mesa only trained gravity manipulation ability as he didn't want to show the other abilities to Taiyang.

During this short period, his physical abilities improved slightly. However his control over gravity manipulation, and even though is not perfect, it improved nearing the perfection.

Mesa arranged 12 logs of woods in a circle to be his targets. He stood in the middle of the circle preparing to use shinra tensei. Mesa closed his eyes and took a deep breath, two seconds later he opened his eyes, the eyes pattern now changed from the basic sharingan pattern to one of the mangekyo sharingan, then used 12 shinra tensei consecutively, all of them were very accurate hitting each target without causing any collateral damage at all. This was the perks of having eyes with no weakness, he didn't have to worry about hard control, time delay between using skills and powers, pain accompanied of it abilities or getting tired from continuous usage as it doesn't require shakara anymore but mental strength and a little aura.

Mesa thought to himself [ My control over gravity manipulation will soon reach perfection. I Should find a far and empty place to train my other powers, the more destructive one in particular ]

Mesa then continued with simple training for a better control. By the time he finished, he heard a clapping sound, when he looked at the direction of the sound, he saw Taiyang coming out of the house with Ruby and Yang next to him.

Taiyang said " I can see that you are going to be a great huntsman someday. Not only you unlocked your semblance at such a young age, but your control over it is pretty good and still improving everyday"

Mesa replied " I'm not that good, i still have a long way to control my semblance", it wasn't a lie since Mesa still had to master all other powers of his eyes.

Before Tai and Mesa could continue their conversation, Ruby in a flash tackled Mesa, and while giving him her best puppy eyes " please teach how to make logs fly like that"

Taiyang laughed at ruby antics while Yang said " Ruby, you can't learn his semblance." then looked at Mesa and said " someday i will unlock my semblance, and it will definitely cooler than yours and stronger"

Mesa only smiled at the two sisters antics.

At the evening, Mesa and the small family were having the dinner which was made by Mesa. The small family liked his cooking especially Ruby and Yang.

After the dinner was over, Taiyang told Mesa to come to the living room. Mesa sat across the room in the front of Tai and was waiting for him to talk.

Taiyang looked at Mesa and said " Mesa, i want talk about your staying here. When you came first here, i told you that you can stay until we found a suitable place for you to live in"

Mesa thought [ so my staying period here came to an end], but he wasn't sad nor surprised, it was pretty expected as he wasn't part of their family.

" I understand, and I appreciate allowing me to stay here for the past week"

Taiyang looked at Mesa briefly then said " You misunderstood me. I talked with the girls and we all agreed for you to stay with us permanently as part of our family. Unless you don't like us and want to leave"

Mesa sat silently in front of Tai. Even though he didn't show any reaction he was a little surprised of this development. When Ruby and Yang saw Mesa not responding they decided to participate in the conversation.

" Stay with us, it is more fun, we can go to play everyday" Yang said

" I don't want you to leave. I will give you my cookies if you stay" Ruby said

Mesa looked at the two while thinking silently [ A family huh? That is quite stupid, i don't need a family. But actually, that might be useful for me currently. I can develop myself smoothly here, not to mention these two can be the source of my entertainment in the future. When they grow up, they are going to be a magnet for troubles, also the fact they are a good future wives material… hahahaha].Thankfully, none could hear Mesa's thoughts.

Mesa look at the small family and give his brightest smile " Thank you"

Ruby and Yang jumped happily while Taiyang smiled at them.
