The Shadow and the Flame
Chapter One
Assignment.
"Well well well. The Ghost of The Emerald Forest is in my office. I do have to say, your work is quite extraordinary, I would like to offer you a place in my school. Do you accept?" The man across the table says, 'Man….. Should I accept the offer? I mean housing and stuff is free… But other than that, everything is gonna cost me… But it's a good deal.' I think to myself as I look him in the eyes, "I accept sir. It's an honor to be here at Beacon academy." I shake the man's hand and sit back down, he smiles, "Now, on the subject of teams. You will need to choose a team that would best fit your interests." The man says, I look at the team files, one team catches my eye, "RWBY," I read. I see a picture of a blonde girl, I freeze looking at the picture, "Yang…" I say, I sigh and look up at the man, "I choose Team RWBY." I say, the man smiles, I look at him, "Thank you for this opportunity Professor Ozpin. I will not disappoint." I say, Professor Ozpin smiles, "I'm sure you will not, Nathan. Now, go meet your team." He says, I stand and walk out towards the dorms, when I reach the door, I hear the girls of the team chatting, I walk in, Yang spots me right away and almost breaks down crying, "N-Nathan… I thought…." She says as I smile a little, "I didn't die. It felt like it though, Now, how about a hug?" I say, she runs over to me and gives me a bear hug, I look at Ruby, "Hey rubes, you remember me?" I say as I look at her, she smiles and nods, "Welcome back to the land of the living Nate!" She says as I smile more, "So, I'm here to be part of Team RWBY, Is there a spot open?" I say as I look at everyone, the girl in white looks at me like I'm crazy, "Whoa whoa whoa, Whoa. Firstly, who are you?" She says, I sigh, "Here we go. My name Is Nathan Drake." I say, the girl in white practically faints, the girl in black looks at me, "The Ghost of the Emerald Forest?" She says, I nod, "Yes ma'am, The Ghost of the Emerald Forest, That's me." I say, she smiles, "Welcome to Team RWBY, Nathan." She says, I smile warmly, Yang smiles at me, "Still carrying the old Executioner Nate?" She asks as I smile, "You know it Yang, Never could get rid of it." I say as I pull a lever action shotgun out of my bag, I smile as I spin the gun by the lever, "You finally got that trick down, nice job Nate," She says, I smile, "Now, where do I sleep?" I say as Yang's hand shoots up, "U-Um…. You can sleep with me if you like, just stay on the other side of the bed. Got it?" She says as she blushes a little, I smile, "Five by five. Loud and clear Yang." I say, she nods, trying to hide her blush, I unpack my bag for the next few minutes, soon enough, it's nighttime. I yawn as I put Olive drab green Pj pants and a tight fitting Tee-Shirt on, I crawl up into bed with Yang, later in the night, I lie awake, I blush as I feel Yang's arms pull me close, I feel her warmth, I feel her body pressed up against mine as I slowly fall asleep.
I yawn as I wake up to find Yang gone, a note left behind, "Roof, ASAP." It reads, I groan and get up and ready, I head up to the roof to find her sitting on the edge, "Yang? What's up? Is everything okay?" I ask, she looks at me as I walk over to her and sit next to her, "Talk to me Yang, What's wrong?" I ask as she hugs me, I hug her back,
