Okay my laptop has decided to kill itself and refuse to start so right now i am writing on my phone. Again i am writing a new story but the way the schedule i have set up worked out i don't have a chapter to write or edit so this is now in that old free space. This is an A.U. and i will be using my OC Sanguine Rose but for the sake of this story he is Ruby's older brother, Yang and Ruby aren't related and Ruby's mom Summer is still alive.
Chapter 1:
"Sanguine! Wake up we need to get to school!" Ruby screamed through the door to wake up her older brother. As she started to pound on the door she stoped as Sanguine opened it to reveal him in his normal appearal, he wore dark blue jeans, a black button up shirt with the buttons open to reveal a white t-shirt. His shoulder length white hair was tied back into a loose ponytail to show the red tips to his hair.
"Right come on. You need to drive because Qrow got called to work earlier than normal." Ruby said pushing her brother to the front door. "Ruby, relax. We still have two hours to get there and it is only a ten minute drive. Plus i still need a lot of caffeine to even function." Sanguine said side stepping his sister causing her to fall over.
"Oh... Right... Sorry." Ruby said rubbing the back of her neck. She quickly followed her brother into the kitchen. "Hey Rubes if i make breakfast will you make me some coffee." Sanguine asked in a sing song voice.
"What type of food we talking here." Ruby deadpanned turning into a serious conversation. " My special breakfast burritos." Sanguine said getting the equipment ready to make the food knowing Ruby would cave for her love of Sanguine's food.
"Deal!" Ruby chirped hopping over to start the process of making the coffee. As Sanguine continued the quick process of cooking the chosen food for breakfast there was a knock at the door, before Sanguine could ponder who it was Ruby ran to open the front door.
"Yang!" Ruby screamed with joy jumping into the taller woman. "How is it that you always know when Sanguine is cooking breakfast?" Ruby asked her lifelong friend. "Not my fault he is an amazing chef... So what is he cooking this fine morning?" Yang asked Ruby and Sanguine while sniffing the air.
"My special breakfast burritos! But if you want some set the table!" Sanguine shouted through the wall. When she heard what she needed to do for the delicious goal of food she jumped and started to frantically set the table.
Ruby ran into the kitchen and began to make the cups of coffee. With the cups in hand she brought them to the table. Shortly, Sanguine brought in three plates and placed two of them in front of the two waiting women.
"Yay!" Ruby and Yang sung meanwhile Sanguine began downing the coffee his sister made him. "Ruby you put too much milk in my coffee again." Sanguine pouted.
"Not my fault you take a tear drop's worth of milk." Ruby defended herself as she began attempting to steal some of Yang's food. This endeavour was cut short by Yang catching her hand. "Ruby you have to ask yourself how much is my food worth in your body parts." Yang deadpanned causing a strange sense of seriousness to the moment. "Here Ruby take mine." Sanguine said passing his sister his plate.
"Sanguine you need to eat too." Ruby puffed her cheeks out in protest but reached for the plate. " I'm not hungry and it is a lot easier than digging a Yang shaped hole this early in the morning." Sanguine said downing the rest of his coffee. "You know i've known you my entire life and i can never tell if you are joking." Yang said finishing her food. "It is easy, if you threaten or worse hurt Ruby i am dead serious other than that i am joking." Sanguine said with a creepy grin on his face.
"Right over protective brother aside we should get going towards school." Ruby said finishing off her seconds. " Rubes do you need a lift or is that coffin on wheels taking you today?" Yang asked unsure.
"That 'coffin on wheels' is still safer then your bi-pedal death contrapsion" Sanguine responded taking the dishes into the kitchen and putting them into the sink. "Hey Bumblebee is safe as any other thing on Remnant." Yang defended her pride and joy.
"Jeez Mom, Dad stop fighting over me. Besides Yang, Sanguine at least is a lot safer of a driver then you." Ruby commented grabbing her bag and holding up Sanguine's shoulder bag.
Sanguine stuck out his tongue at Yang and grabbed his keys and phone. "Fine i'll see you two there." Yang said running out the door. Sanguine grabbed his bag from his sister and ushered her out the door.
They walked to his car, a black 67 impala with moon light white trim. He opened the car and Ruby jumped in. Shortly after Sanguine walked over to the other side and got in. "How has Mom not questioned you in how you could afford this?" Ruby asked as her brother started the engine.
"Simple because if you maintain your lack of knowledge about me fighting i am only one more fight away from having enough to by that strawberry farm." Sanguine said as he pulled out and began the short journey to school.
As they stepped inside the school Ruby quickly recognised their friends and ran over to great them. Sanguine looked and saw the schools 'tough' guy and his group. Sanguine made a detour to go talk to the group. Sanguine grabbed Cardin's shoulder causing the man to begin panic mode but it was quickly turned up when Sanguine pushed him into a wall just out of everyone's sight.
"Now listen upCardin i am only saying this once. If i see you or your other fucktards in your group harass anyone thus year... All four of you well be put into hospital. And so we are clear i don't mind getting expelled." Sanguine said and punched a hole right next to the man's head and left him in a pool of his own urine.
As he walked up to the group he ran into shy rabbit Faunus pulling her ears down like she missed someone. "Hey Velvet, What's up?" Sanguine whispered to the Faunus eyeing the group.
She jumped at the sound of Sanguine behind her and covered her quickly beating heart. "D-d-don't do t-t-t-that... Please." The girl named Velvet timidly asked as she went to cover her face with her ears.
"i see you still have that nervous habbit. And you do realize they won't attack you right? Hell Blake is a Faunus as well. So do you want to go over there to talk or what?" Sanguine asked gesturing towards the group. "Y-y-yeah... S-s-sure." Velvet said looking a bit flustered.
"So Ruby how has your Summer been?" A tall red haired athlete asked Ruby. "Sanguine finally took me to one of his fights. Shortest minute of my life the guy took three hits to the ribs and he was down. On a different note after the fight Sanguine did take me to get some ice-cream." Ruby said while jumping up and down on the spot.
"I didn't think being barbarians knew the simple thing are good." Weiss said crossing her arms over her chest. "Isn't he only attending because he got expelled from the prestigious schools across Vale." Weiss added silently fuming at the fact she would have to deal with someone like Ruby.
"Yes but he only got into those fights because someone was bad mouthing someone close to him and that is all he said to me." Ruby added puffing her cheeks out.
"And that is all you are going to get out of me Ruby." Sanguine added walking over to the group with Velvet. "I know Phrrya and Ren and Blake and unfourtunatly Yang as well but who are these other people?" Sanguine asked gesturing towards the other members of the group.
"Oh Sanguine, there you are these are Weiss, Jaune and Nora." Ruby said gesturing towards the respective person. Who in turned nodded when Ruby called there names. "It is a pleasure to meet you all and if any teacher asks i was here all along and never seen Cardin." Sanguine said never forgetting the manners his mother taught him.
"Sanguine! You know Mom doesn't like it when you fight." Ruby scolded Sanguine hitting his arm. Feigning pain Sanguine started to over react. "Ahh agony! My own sister abuses me. Did you see this Pyrrha i just talk to a waste of space and she hits me... Ah my world is going dark." Sanguine said and fell onto the floor with his forearm across his head.
"Look at that... the infamous Grim Reaper brought down by a love tap from a small girl." Blake added poking Sanguine with her foot. "i wouldn't go as far and say i'm 'infamous' but i cant think of a nice way to spin undefeated and still have people fight in underground mma." Sanguine said just moving his arm to stare at the group.
The whole group laughed at this and Sanguine from his position lying down jumped up onto his feet. Shortly the first bell went. "Right Ruby i need to get going meet me outside in front of the car after school okay?" Sanguine stated not leaving room for his sister to argue. "Fine but please don't get into too much trouble." Ruby added puffing her cheeks a bit. "Me? i parish the thought of getting into trouble." Sanguine said and began walking towards his first class.
He took his seat at the back by the window. 'This is going to be a long year' he though as his history teacher Professor Port walked in.
Ruby practically skipped to her first class, it was her favorite after all what good was the day if Art sucked she slowed down a bit when she found a whole punched into the wall, 'this is going to be a long year if he gets into trouble already... Mom isn't going to be happy if he can't make one day without getting into a fight.' Ruby thought and made way to her seat next to Blake as the art teacher Mr Torchwick walked in.
It was a slow day for Sanguine he tried to pay attention but his teachers always managed to failed to keep her attention. For Ruby on the other hand it went fast and before either of the two knew it, it was lunch. Sanguine put his stuff into his bag and made his way too the cafeteria and ran into an angry white haired woman storming out and in the same direction as he was going.
"What has you so angry there Weiss? Is it something Yang did because i learned she stops if you give her a taste of her own medicine." Sanguine said easily matching the angry heiress' speed.
"No i am at peace with that brute. Your sister on the other hand." Weiss said stopping mid stride to turn and meet Sanguine's gaze. "Whatever Rubes did i'm sure she doesn't mean it. I don't think she has an evil bone in her body." Sanguine said trying to reassure the white haired woman.
"I know that but she should at least notice when someone flirts with he-..." Weiss stopped mid sentence remembering who she was talking too.
"Don't worry I'll pretend i didn't hear that and you do know she is only sixteen." Sanguine said continuing a more leasurily pace to walk at that the heiress could match. "Thank you for acting like that. But what do you mean she is only sixteen?" Weiss asked unsure on how to that would happen.
"Don't attempt the math. And when we were younger our Mom pulled some strings to get her into the same year as me because the couldn't hold me back and she wanted us together for 'safety'." Sanguine said giving air quotations for the word safety.
"That actually explains a lot. You know you aren't like her you are actually not a dolt and you seem to have some wisdom." Weiss said as they approached the door. "It happens when you get hauled into the principle's office on a regular occurence for getting into 'disagreements'." Sanguine said making air quotes again around disagreements.
Sanguine opened the doors and let Weiss pass by first into the room. Sanguine stopped when he saw Cardin picking on Velvet and by extension Ruby. Before Weiss could ask why he stopped he was already behind Cardin, Russell, Sky and Dove.
"Cardin clearly you didn't remember our chat earlier." Sanguine said delivering a devastating round house kick into Sky's head who fell into Dove knocking the two men out. He punched Russell in the face before he could ready himself knocking the man unconscious. Before Sanguine could turn around Cardin pulled his extended arm hearing a loud pop. Before Cardin could gloat Sanguine punched him in the sternum.
"While you did dislocate my arm and it will hurt to put it back but i did just broke your sternum. Feel that suffacating pressure don't worry you won't die but you will be in excruciating pain. Let that be your second warning." Sanguine said going over to the two girls.
"Oh my god Sanguine your arm. Are you okay?" Velvet asked amongst a barrage of questions and a gathering group of students. "Mom is going to be pissed when she hears about this and you know she will." Ruby said prying Velvet off of Sanguine.
Yang walked past the group of students and saw Sanguine siting down with his arm hanging a bit loose. She sat down on Sanguine's right side. "So i'm going to assume Cardin got cocky and you put him and his group in there place." Yang asked eyeing the trio that sat there. "Summer is going to be pissed that the day she comes home and this is what greats her." Yang said poking his dislocated arm.
Weiss who witnessed the whole thing stormed over with what would be rage if it was a fight he caused against anyone else, but Cardin Winchester needed to be taken down a few pegs. Now it was admiration for the damage he caused with minimum caused to him. "You are a bigger dolt then your sister but he did have that coming" Weiss said and reached over to hug him but was stopped by Pyrrha.
"Surely me and Yang should relocate his arm first." Pyrrha said moving Weiss out of the way. Pyrrha held Sanguine while Yang moved his arm to meet the right part and pushed it into the socket by force.
"Ahh that will wake you up in the morning." Sanguine said rubbing his shoulder. "Should we move or what?" Weiss asked unsure of what is going on. "Give it a few minutes and i'll be brought into Ozpin's office so you guys can move then." Sanguine said and as if on cue the vice principle walked in "Mr. Rose, Professor Ozpin would like to have a word about the disturbance you caused." Glynda said as Sanguine stood up.
"Ruby i should be late getting home so go home with Yang and if mom is already there don't tell her anything i will when i get home." Sanguine said not leaving Ruby any room to question as he walked towards Ozpin's office.
"Your brother is an aggressive person." Jaune timidly said taking a seat on Pyrrha's left side. "Actually that was calm for him." Ruby said not taking her sight from the food. "Ruby is right. One time when me and him were about ten this eighteen year old started to pick on Ruby because she was playing with the neighbourhood Faunus and Sanguine hit this bastard's face so hard into a wall the wall broke." Yang added with a grin starting to eat her food.
"It took five cops, my dad and Summer to pry him from this carcase that barely resemballed anything. Hell even then he broke three of the cop's arm, crippled one and broke my dad's ribs." Yang continued with a mouthful of food.
Shocked Jaune just inched away from Ruby who smiled. "As in your famous bodybuilding dad? The one who could bench press a building? Got injured by a ten year old?" Jaune asked. "Yeah, he was scary that day. If you value your life never hurt Ruby." Pyrrha said starting to enjoy her food. As the other members of their group gathered.
Nora and Ren stepped over the body of Cardin gasping. "What happened to Cardin and why do i have a feeling it involves Yang?" Nora said plopping down ungraciously next to Ruby. "It was Sanguine actually he just left to go have some words with Ozpin." Yang said long since finished her food and started to take food from Ruby. "Did he pick on Ruby?" Ren asked as he sat across from Nora.
"Yes he pushed Ruby and before i knew it he was hitting all of them." Velvet said eating daintelly at a salad. "Heh he got off easy remember that one guy when we were younger." Ren said starting to eat.
"Yang actually used him as an example and it freaked Jaune out." Pyrrha said. Weiss who returned with a tray of her food of choice. "Where did your brother go Dolt?" Weiss asked, no one was sure when she slipped out. "Ozpin's office princess." Ruby said after another failed attempt at swatting Yang's hand away from her food. "Hey he said he does underground fighting right?" Weiss asked Ruby.
"Yes and why does my brother instantly concern you?" Ruby asked the heiress. "Because we were having a conversation." Weiss stated matter-of-factly. "Yeah well if you want to start your fangirling his next fight is friday at a place called Junior's." Ruby said moving her food away from the villainous Yang Xiao Long from stealing her food.
"Already? Didn't he have a match Yesterday." Blake asked not sure of how a person could fight constantly. "Yeah but the twins known as 'Fire and Ice' didn't get much on him. I saw it and it was beautiful to see them get their arrogant asses whooped." Yang said answering for Ruby.
"How do you guys know so much about him fighting? Hell Blake even knew his fighting name." Ruby pouted, wanting to know where their information source. "Everyone in the gym knows hell Shun got him his first few matches." Pyrrha said. "Shun is such a meanie head she wont give me the cookies she owes me." Ruby pouted causing the group to laugh at her sudden mood change.
"Mr. Rose do you have any idea what Summer will do when i tell her about this?" Ozpin said without turning around in his seat. His office was spacious some would say too spacious. His desk stood in front of a massive floor to celling window. On the right hand side, against the wall stood a huge bookcase filled with old and dusty books. The left side wall held an impressive collection of old weapons and clocks.
"It would be her yelling at me for getting into trouble in..." Sanguine began looking at his watch. "Hmmm. In five hours. Then she would demand to know if i did that stupid breathing excersize which would be pointless because i was perfectly calm." Sanguine finished causing Ozpin to finally turn around in his chair.
"Sanguine, i have always defended you so please tell me the truth. Why did you assault four students?" Ozpin deadpanned taking his glasses off so he could look into Sanguine's eyes.
"Technically three, one just fell into the other and after i 'politly' asked Mr. Winchester to leave my friends and Ruby alone imagine my reaction when i went to the cafeteria and see the four of them picking on Ruby." Sanguine said staring back into Ozpin's eyes.
Sighing, Ozpin cleaned his glasses with his hankercheif. "The number is irrelavent. If i didn't owe Summer so much i would suspend you for a month or until you apologized. Unfourtunatly knowing how stubborn you are just like your father you wouldn't apologise. So two months of detention here and you are to leave for the rest of the day." Ozpin stated as he put his glasses back onto his nose.
"When do detentions start?" Sanguine asked getting ready to leave the building. "The first of October." Ozpin said ushering towards the door signalling the end to their conversation.
"By the way you should probablly get someone to help Cardin i did that move Uncle Qrow loves to do." Sanguine said making a quick exit just as the bell signalling the end to lunch.
'I should probably head to the gym to practice but first stopping somewhere to get some food' Sanguine thought as he started up the engine to his car.
