Chapter 1 - Guessing game

The day for Yang so far has been a disaster. One annoyance after another. Just after waking up Yang was graced with the lovely sound of Weiss telling Ruby off for some reason or other. This was a normal occurrence but for some reason Yang knew the day was going to get worse.

"W-Weiss I'm really sorry. I-I-I didn't mean it. It was just an accident." Ruby pleaded, trying to get Weiss to calm down.

After finally opening her eyes Yang was able to see a very scared looking Ruby holding Myrtenaster, well most of it anyway. She was looking all around the room trying to break eye contact with the death stare Weiss was glaring at her with.

"What! You call stealing my weapon, breaking it apart and then forgetting where you left it an accident!" Weiss exclaimed. The sheer volume of Weiss's voice causing Ruby to collapse and scurry backwards to the corner of the room, dropping the weapon in the process.

"B-but, but, really it was an accident, and well I wouldn't call it stealing. I wa-was borrowing it to learn how it worked and then err hopefully I could apply it to crescent rose. Then when I started to take it apart I-I made sure to note down where all the pieces went. But then I smelt someone baking cookies and followed the smell the kitchen, where Ren was making them. He let me have one and they tasted amazing. I think I bought the dust part thingy with me and left it somewhere in there. But now I can't seem to find it. So really it was just an accident. Right. Right." Ruby quickly stated.

Desperately looking around the room Ruby was only met with expressions of sorrow from Blake, and with the full confession of what really happened finally revealed, it only caused Weiss's anger to grow.

"You mean you lost one of the most important parts of Myrtenaster, because of cookies!"

"They were really good cookies though." Ruby quickly interrupted thinking that would be a good enough reason for losing the weapon part. But after a few seconds of deep thought, wondering why everyone was silent, Ruby finally realised how bad she screwed up trying to calm Weiss down. Knowing that the conversation had ended badly and was soon to take a turn for the worse, Ruby knew the only thing to come next was probably some form of bodily harm. There was only two options available, one stay and face the furious, white haired princess or two run away as far as possible till she calms down. Ruby took the latter, but also decided trying find the weapon part would be a good idea to.

After the shock of Ruby's utterly terrible statement faded, Weiss started to make her way towards the cowering girl. But as she moved she was only left with a pile of rose petals to take her anger out on. But Ruby's semblance wouldn't save her today, as Weiss would scour the whole school to find the insufferable dolt.

After seeing Weiss leave the room, Yang was left to her own devices, and after much deliberation she decided to get out of bed, shower and change into her uniform. Finally ready Yang left the bathroom only to be greeted by Blake impatiently waiting so they could leave for lessons.

After this fantastic or Yang-tastic start to the day as Yang put it, it only got worse.

Entering Professor Port class room Yang was greeted with the sight of a very happy looking Weiss holding and stroking Myrtenaster, next to a extremely worn out Ruby.

Wow, she normally has so much energy. I didn't even think she could get tired during the day.

To Yang, Professor Port's class is a moment of rest. An escape from the real world to pause, look back on life... and then fall head first onto the table and fall asleep. But today Professor Port decided to try and regale the students with more tales about his fights with unspeakable dangers and multitudes of Grimm. He also brought out an assortment of Grimm to test students fighting prowess and ability to make tactical decisions in the heat of the moment. Professor Port set up duels between students and different types of Grimm depending on their skills and weapons. Now the room was filled with the underlying tone of Professors Ports monotonous voice and the sounds of clashing weapons upon bone armour that most Grimm have. With the new increase in volume the usually sleeping Yang was kept awake and ended up watching hunter and huntress fight again and again till the bell rang. Can this day get any worse.

Class had finally ended and the torture was over... or so Yang thought. Heading back to the dorm hoping to relax for the afternoon till the next lesson, she was trying to get a rise out of Blake with the occasional teasing and pun, but this was cut short by someone called out her name.

"Yang!"

Urrgh and I was just getting to a good one. Would have had her in stitches."Hey Blake, you lot go on a head I'll see you soon."

"Ok, see you in a bit. Oh and you really need to work on your jokes." Blake said trying to hold back a smile from one of Yang's previous puns.

"Oh ha ha, very funny. You know they're good and you love them."

Blake just sighed and walked off following after Ruby and Weiss who were back to their usual selves after Weiss had finally exacted her revenge on Ruby. Although no one had the courage to ask what happened during said revenge.

"Hey, hey Yang, gotta sec."

Come on, I just want to relax with everyone else. Wait that voice sounds familiar. Turning around to see who was calling her name, Yang was met with bright blue hair and realised who it was.

"Oh hey Neptune, how's it going"

"Yeah I'm fine, just wanted to ask you something."

Oh please don't let it be what I think it is.

"Shoot, what's on your mind?" Yang asked hoping the conversation won't go the same as all the previous ones she had with other guys.

"So, errr, I was wondering what you doing later." Neptune said while scratching his head.

Great another one. This just keeps getting better and better.

Since Yang entered the Beacon numerous rumours flooded the school of her beauty, luscious hair and of the many guys she had dated. Though none of this was true, well apart from the first two obviously. Even though she is seen as the courageous, outgoing blond who tries to get as much fun as she can out of life, she had never had the amount of boyfriends that the rumours said she did. So far she had only ever dated one guy in her life, his name she had already forgotten. Since then she forgot about dating and focused on protecting Ruby as she made her way through school and life.

Dust I hate those rumours, might as well go along with it and see what he does.

"No why'd you ask."

"Well I was wondering if err you maybe wanted to grab a bite to eat with me, you know like go out for dinner or something." Neptune worryingly said while twiddling his thumbs behind his back.

Just that fact that he was nervous said something. The extremely cool and composed Neptune, would usually be fine with something as easy as asking someone on a date, but he was asking Yang. He stood there fearful for his life as one wrong word and he could end up on a gurney.

What should I say. I mean he's quite nice, good looking, but I don't really know him though. Wait wasn't he with Weiss or something. Yeah the dance, he went with her, why is he asking me out now. Did he dump her.

"Wait I thought you and Weiss were together. Did you dump her. Wait your not trying to two time her with me are you! Because if you are!" Yang said increasing in volume to a near shout. Her eyes started turning red and the temperature around her heated up at the thought of someone hurting her friend.

"No, No, No nothing like that. I mean we talked, had a nice time with the dance and everything, but it didn't really click so I let her down slowly. But I think she may still be a little hung up on me a bit. You see I sort of ended up liking you more, so how about it."

Wow, this is ridiculous, I don't even know why Weiss likes this guy. I really don't want to go out with him now, I mean seriously. I wonder why he even likes me, I really hope it's not the same reason as the others. I'll find out and then let him down slowly like he apparently did Weiss.

"So, just out of curiosity, why do you like me? What made you want to ask me out?"

"Well you are very beautiful, such a great fighter, fiery and unpredictable. They're the reasons really." Neptune explained, certain his reasons would seal the deal, since he knew his coolness and looks had already started to pull her in.

Not again, always how I look, always. Does he really think those reasons are going to make me want to date him. Why can't I meet someone who's interested in me for, well me. Right, now to tell him no.

"Look, you're a nice guy and pretty cool. But I'm just not interested. As well as that, you were with one of my best friends until just recently and it just wouldn't feel right anyway. Sorry."

"Yeah...Ok, I just thought I would give it a shot. Right well I got to go, classes you know. Bye" Neptune quickly replied, relieved he managed to make it through the confession, but also with a hint of sadness which he covered up using his signature smile.

"Bye." Another one down and out for the count. I wonder how many guys are left in this place that haven't asked me out yet. Just none of them feel right.

Sighing Yang turned around relieved the situation ended peacefully and nothing got too complex. Before heading back to the dorm she spent a few moments looking out the window taking in the view. Looking out she could see many students hurrying around, some with friends and others all alone, both most probably heading back to the dorms to retire for the night. The rest of the school buildings stood majestically in the background, just showing how impressive Beacon really was, and beyond that was the beautiful view of the kingdom of Vale. While watching the breath taking sunset Yang thought about all the people who tried and failed to ask her out, all wanting her for the way she looked.

Am I just the pretty face to everyone. None of the guys have come close to complimenting me on anything other than my looks and 'fiery' attitude. I mean someone could at least say they like my puns, I mean they are awesome. Or actually try to get to know me before asking me out instead of just coming out of nowhere to 'give it a shot'.

Buzz

At that final thought Yang felt her scroll buzz, meaning someone had sent her a message. Leaving the spot from the window she reached for her scroll, hoping that it wasn't one of the pervious guys she had rejected trying his luck again, she reluctantly took out her scroll. Looking through her messages she saw old ones from Ruby, Weiss and Blake ranging from the generic 'How are you' and 'Where are you' to setting up studying sessions for upcoming exams and arranging outings for the team. Finally noticing the new text she wasn't sure what to make of it. The size of said message was quite large compared to the ones she usually gets and there didn't seem to be the name of the sender at the start of the message. The scroll ID was foreign to Yang which meant it wasn't someone she knew. All that was put in place of where the name usually resides was the symbol, '?'

Wait that's not right. I'm pretty sure I would remember adding someone with name as weird as question mark. Just what sort of stupid name is that anyway. Although it could be one of my friends playing a prank, using someone else's scroll to send the message so a different scroll ID number comes up. Let's just see what it says first, find out if it is a prank or not.

Finally deciding to open the message, Yang was left speechless after reading it. The large paragraph caused Yang's semblance to start to flare up, as she re-read the message over and over again to fully understand what she was reading. The message read:

'It's both a blessing and a curse isn't it, looking as attractive as you do. All the guys only end up noticing your looks and nothing else, so all you do is lure them in and knock them down, hoping one day that your soul mate will finally find you, and you live happily together forever. Terribly sorry but the world just doesn't work like that. Also such a shame about your recent confession, that Neptune boy looked so nervous talking to you and you didn't even notice. Too busy wishing it for it to be over probably, and then what did you do, you sent him home crying. Congratulations by the way, couldn't have done it better myself. Well I tell a lie, but my way would have involved more bloodshed and some people frown on that. Now I would love to keep sending messages and have a lovely conversation with the 'blond beauty' all through the night, but I have a job that needs doing and you need to rack that tiny brain of yours to figure out who I am. Talk to you soon and try to have fun guessing. ?.'

Flabbergasted at the annoying and sarcastic message she didn't notice the flash of light by the window she had only recently been looking out of.

Now with this new mystery in Yang's life she quickly stormed off to her dorm room, with her frustration shown as she left scorch marks as she stomped away. Her hair stayed burning and her eyes bright red through the remainder of the journey.

Once she reached the dorm she cooled down and then spent the rest of the night trying to figure out who this mysterious person was, till she fell asleep from lack of energy due to the truly exhausting day. She ended the day with a few final thoughts before drifting off for a defiantly deserved slumber.

I really hope tomorrow ends up better than today and I that find out who the dust sent that damn message so I can destroy them.
