A/N: Hello! This will be my first RWBY fan fiction story. Honestly, I'm kinda hesitant of posting this but figures I should. So, this is a Modern AU with a University life setting so if you don't want to read or even like the story at all it is okay just to drop it. Anyway, Reviews are awesome so you can drop some.

Rated T for some curses that will happen here and there…. How to read: "Said" 'thought'

Sorry for all the mistakes and grammatical errors, some of them are plotted in purpose.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY and its characters. Monty Oum (Blessed thy soul and may he be happy wherever he is) and Rooster teeth did. The Only thing that is mine in this story is the Plot and maybe some OCs if ever have.


Prologue: "It is more like a curse than a blessing."

"If you were given a chance to know who your Soul Mate is, will you take it?"

"Will you take chances of knowing your past life?"

For my sister and I, the answer will always be a "NO". Definitely a Fucking No.

Maybe it's because will already have these said abilities. And these abilities did nothing but just to screw our life up. Why did I say that, you ask? Well, all I can say was Fate is a cheater, Destiny is a bitch and time is fucking playful. So my immediate suggestion is do not go playing with them.

As I stare at these strings tied in my fingers I find myself feeling mixture of all emotions a human could have. Amazement, Fear, Disgust, Anger, Happiness, you name it, I feel it all just by staring at this strings.

These and another thing is the reason what made me today, maybe it's also a reason why I am right here sitting at a bench inside a park waiting for my sister and her wife, staring at nothing but all those strings that invade my vision.

"Ruby.." I heard someone called with a soft longing- like beautiful voice. I knew this voice. I remember this voice. This voice that I always wanted to forget and at the same time wanted to hear again.

She is standing there, staring at me with an expression I cannot quite decipher. I hate her. I hate this feeling I had for her. I hate her a lot and in fact this black string spiraling the red string connected to us is the proof of my hatred for all the things she did to me.

You guys might not catch drift here since you don't know the whole story yet. Well, I can tell you the story behind it with other story about all the people around me that time specially my sister's. So well, about the story, it all started with my half- sister Yang.


"Gwah!" A loud scream that reverberated their room woke the Fourteen years old Ruby Rose out of her peaceful slumber. Panicking, the young lad looked down to the one sleeping below on their bunk beds.

There was her blond older half- sister of two years gasping for air as she stared at her left arm, touching it every now and then.

"Nightmare again?" Ruby asked as she shuffled down with a pillow on hand her and sat on her sister's bed.

"Yah." The immediate response of the blond as she lie down her bed with right arm over her eyes.

Her sister always had this weird dreams and nightmares she and even Ruby, herself, cannot understand. Some of these dreams actually change their lives.

First dream that did so was about her being taught how to fight by their father in which, according to Yang, was pretty cool. This, anyway, made her sister ask their parents for a lesson about martial arts and stuffs saying it was for self defense which Ruby grudgingly agreed to be part in exchange that she and Yang will also learn weapon handling and usage.

Second was about their mother. Well, for Yang's side, step- mother. "Summer Rose" was her name and at the age of seven Yang had this nightmare about her dying. She said that a creature of Grimm killed her and described how it happened and what Summer looked like after that happened. She said about a mission, pregnant women and becoming a hero. After a year, Summer was killed on the line of her job as a real estate agent by a psychopath on loose with a pierce on her chest when she defended a pregnant woman she was having an agreement with, like how Yang described. Summer was given recognition for what she has done. These, by all means, made Yang and Ruby's childhood hard for the fact that their father became very busy on his job just to provide the siblings a things.

There are other dreams and nightmares Yang had that change their lives aside from these two but it is too many to mention it all.

"Mind if I sleep with you?" Ruby asked, eyeing the black string that suddenly appeared wrapping around her sister's right pinky finger with a green string spiraling it which, unlike the black one, was tied in a ribbon form.

"Miss sleeping with your older sister ey, Ruby? You are still a little kid." The blond teased Ruby as she shuffled closer to the wall, giving space for her little sister to lie down.

"Yang! I am but now a Fourteen years old! You hear that?! Teen! Four Teen!. So technically, I am not a kid anymore. I just thought you need someone beside you right now considering you just woke up from a nightmare." Ruby argued, lying down next to her half- sister.

"Ohh! Thank you my baby sister!" Yang hugged Ruby tightly who gave her a blow of an upper cut. Wincing a little Yang asked. "Oww… Why did you do that for?"

"I am not a baby anymore Yang! And shut it!"

"But you will always be my big baby sister."

"Yang! Stop treating me like a kid!"

"But you look like one."

"Hey! What do you even meant by that!"

A few minutes of silence occurs when Yang didn't answer her question and the sisters just stared at Ruby's bed. Ruby was the first one to break the silence as she asked "Hey Yang, it's not about cousin Pyrrha is it?"

"The Nightmare I had just now? No it is not about her."

"Mind telling me about it?"

"Well, there was a girl with a ribbon… or was it a bow..?"

"Spare me the whole details about the appearance of whoever is in your dream. Please, just some light description sis."

"Okay.. Okay.. Sorry…." Yang coughed a little, preparing herself to continue. "So, as I was saying, there was a girl with ribbon above her black hair and a guy with a mask. That.. That man cut my lovely right arm Ruby! And it feels so real!"

"Yeah?"

"But the worst part is…" Yang stared at Ruby with an unreadable expression and Ruby stared back at her with a worried look.

"What?"

"Is that I did not even wake up because of that."

"Well, then what made you wake up?"

"The man was going to kill me and the girl took the blow for me. I think it was a sword he was using since it was impaled through the girl and that was when I woke up."

"Uhmm…. Okay… To be fair, I think you dreaming Pyrrha dying was worse than what you dreamt this night."

"I don't know Ruby. I'm …. I Don't know.." Silence occurs for a while before Yang asked. "How many strings appeared?"

"Two, Black and Green colored strings. They were wrapped with each other. So, you'll feel unconditional hatred toward whoever was tied to its end when you guys meet and he or she on the other hand will feel either envy or jealousy."

"That's a really very great power you got there Ruby. You're very blessed." Yang said shifting her gaze from Ruby's bed to Ruby herself.

"You wish" Ruby scoffed. "It is more like a curse than a blessing."

"And why is that?"

"Because it tells emotions and everything Yang. And knowing the emotions of people who you met is not something you will like to look forward too. Also, it is scarier that I can successfully predict your future emotions about someone we haven't really met yet." Ruby groaned massaging her forehead.

"Oh geez, I am very sorry for waking up from dreams and nightmares just to have another few invisible strings tied at my pinky or any other fingers I have. Which is by the way, I cannot see!" Yang looked at her fingers sternly to get her point across.

"Do you think what you were dreaming about is something that is going to happened again like the other dreams you had or something that was from past lives?"

"I don't know. Not unless we find if all the people in my dreams and nightmares are real."

"They are real alright."

"How can you say so?"

"Uh… Because of the strings I can see and you were complaining about?"

"Fair point."

"Yeah.. Anyway, we should find if those monsters that you called Grimm exist, that will be something."

"Are you being sarcastic?"

"No…. Nope…." Ruby answered with a 'popping' sound at the end of her 'Nope'.

"You are! Come here you little red!" Yang grabbed Ruby's head and proceeds to give her a noogie.

"Oh! Yang! Ouch! Ouch! Stop it! Come on!" Ruby gasped with her feet waving around like a swimmer's and hands holding her sisters right arm struggling to break free from her sister's death grip. "Hmmppp Mmt! Yammph… cmmphh brrthhhmm.." She soon found herself face to face with her sister's well-endowed chest without her ability to breathe.

The door opening made the two halt from their tussle and stared at the new comer. "As much as I love seeing you two going on with sisterly bonding. Dou you guys have any idea what time is it?"

"Uhh.. Past Three in the morning?" Yang who was still giving Ruby's head a death grip said before laughing to the new comer awkwardly.

"Y-Ymmgphh" After successfully turning away from her sister's chest, Ruby gaspingly said "Bah! Hah! L-let go! Yang! You're c-choking me Ack!"

Releasing her death grip with a wrong calculation ending with a loud thud does not take a genius to guess that Yang sends her sister sprawled at the floor. She and the new comer stared at Ruby who was now in sitting position, rubbing her bruised head and then her hut backside.

"Ouch… Oh…" Ruby stared back at the new comer who in term raised an eyebrow on her. "Oh.. H-hey dad!" She grinned awkwardly then glared at Yang who's scratching the back of her head grinning back at her with a sorry grin.

"It's still One in the morning and you girls have classes later at Eight. So, please girls, get back to bed and sleep." Their dad sighed while pleadingly gazing at them.

"Okay Dad!" The sisters said scrambling back to their sleeping position.

Walking next to the girls bed, their father asked. "Oh.. Ruby? Why are you sleeping at your sister's bed?"

"Uhh.. I just want to?"

"And here I thought you're a teenager already." This statement of their father earned a laugh from Yang who immediately groan in pain with Ruby's elbow making contact with her stomach.

"Yang just had a nightmare so I figure that she might want someone beside her."

"And that's very noble of you my little cuddle bunny- Oww!" Yang said teasingly earning her another elbow on her stomach. "That hurts you know."

"Good!"

"Aw.. Just admit it already Ruby. You still cannot sleep without your older sister by your side. Without me." Yang grinned.

"First, I have only one older sister and that's you. Second, I have been sleeping on my own bed there past six years! Third, I – "

"Okay okay! Stop! Stop! Girls, let us just sleep." Kissing the two at forehead their father left the room after saying "Goodnight to you too."

"Goodnight dad!" The two said.

A few minutes later, Yang called again. "Ruby?"

"Yes?"

"I forgot to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Last week, I dreamt of you admitting to College together with me. That's all! Goodnight." With that Yang turned her back to Ruby who started asking questions.

"What?! Yang?! Wait! Hey! What do you mean? Come on!"


= Days later/ Signal high School =

Having an Intelligence Quotient of above 150 made Ruby and her half- sister Yang to get bored at school easily and it made them do many kinds of things. Her sister always cut classes and sometimes goes on a drag race in the middle of the day and this is the reason Yang barely made it to the list of people graduating this year. Ruby, on the other hand, find some fun things she can do while at school.

So this is why a nagging feeling made Ruby stopped her way to their school's faculty office. A few minutes ago her name was broadcaster to the whole campus stating that she was needed. This made her mind go frenzy while asking herself what did she do these past few days.

Oh, yes. She remembered one.

She was the one that throw a bucket full of Sodium mixed with potassium at their school swimming pool last week. In her defense, it sated her curiosity and it was their chemistry class. Their teacher ask them to do a research on how an alkali metal react on water using their chemistry lab but for Ruby who already know what it can do, a cup of water is not nearly as exciting as a pool dump with an alkali metals. This made the whole school alarmed for the loud explosion it occurs. Thankfully, the teachers cannot identify the person caused for Ruby herself hack the school's security cameras.

Ah.. There was another one.

She also hacked their schools system giving everyone additional credits while she was in their IT class. Ruby finished all the works and studies their IT teacher asked them to do and she was getting bored already so she bypassed all security system their school has and hack the whole system itself and gave out free credits. She laughed for the school did not even know what she did after 2 days. Anyway, the system is back and running now and all the credits she gave out was erased so no harm done.

There was also an incident about a tiny robot that cannot be fixed stated by Robotics Club President so Ruby took the liberty to fix it herself adding some special features that allows the controller to have a vision so it can be controlled without him in field. She then grinningly gave it back to the naughty boys of Robotics club who Ruby think will cause trouble. Days later, their school newspaper proven that what Ruby had thought really did happen. The boys got caught peeping at girls locker room using the said robot and were given a month long detention which she also nearly had but thankfully the Robotics Club President itself proven her not so innocent innocence stating that she only help fixing the robot and it is not her fault.

There were many more things Ruby had done this school semester and it's clearly not to talk out too. She thought that it'll not give her any punishment for they didn't know the one who did it. So she just grimaced and continues to walk forward. 'You cannot do anything for all the things you've already done anyway.' She thought.

Knocking the door, she peek at the room and gulped as all the teacher's eyes was on her. "Uhh.. Hi.." What the next thing she saw was shocking for all the teacher were laughing and congratulating her.

"Congratulations Ms. Rose!"

"Who would've thought! Congratulations kid!" And so a series of congratulatory message was said.

"Uh… Thank.." Ruby smiles with her inner thought panicking. 'What did I do?! What in the Freaking hell did I do?!"

"Oh! Ms. Rose, please proceed to the Principal's office, there is a surprise for you and don't mind these guys. Oh! And your father was there too" A female teacher said smiling.

Ruby's panicking mind had gone to more haywire as the word 'Surprise' slipped out of the teacher's mouth. She thought of the worst. 'Oh man! What surprise?! A Surprise Detention? A Surprise Expulsion? What kind of Surprise!?' this was her thoughts while she walked toward the principal's office and slipped in.

There she meet four people Their school Principal, her father, which is by the way, one of the teachers in Signal, a female blondie with glasses and white- haired man in all green attire wearing a spectacles.

"Oh! There she is! Ms. Rose, sit down here." The principal gestured to where her father was sitting a while ago. "I'll be out for a while since this has nothing to do with me now."

"Ruby, These people wants to talk to you about something. I need to go to my class but I'll be sure to talk to you afterwards." Her father said and with a kiss, he left.

"Ohh… Uhhmmm.. Hi!" Ruby greeted the two.

"So, Ruby Rose. You have such an unusual eyes." The man in green said.

"Oh.. thanks?"

"I would like to know where and how did you learn this?" The woman took a scroll out and began to play a video that made Ruby's eyes popped out and jaws dropped way down to the ground.

The video was taken while Ruby was sitting in front of a monitor with binary numbers and syntaxes and some hard to understand programming codes she applied when she was giving out free credits.

"How did you.." Ruby stuttered.

"Oh.. You see Ms. Rose, we have been eyeing you for quite a long time now. I suppose, Five months. It is after you register to our Website and aced the online entrance exam. After that, you also aced and perfected the tests I asked your professors to give you as your Final term exam, which is by the way, we used as an entrance exam."

"Okay. I.. I learned it all by myself using different IT and computer engineering books. Ah.. anyway, how did you know if ever I did cheat or not on that online entrance exam?"

"Do you know who am I Ms. Rose?"

"You're Headmaster Ozpin of University of Remnant."

"Ms. Rose, My University is the college every aspiring, hardworking, talented, studious and genius students ever wanted to study where." The Blond woman said.

"I know that already sir."

"So you may already know that we always have the new technologies and all so it was easy to know when an online examinees were cheating or not."

"I always wanted to study at your University. It is my dream.. Well, aside from being a famous scientist slash engineer slash architect slas-"

"Okay Ms. Rose.. We got you." The woman sighed adjusting her spectacles.

Mr. Ozpin looked at the woman who stared back at him, sighing and nodding. He then asked Ruby while smiling. "Do you really want to study at my University?"

"More than ever.."
