Now this is my first actual story written for Fan-fiction, so feel free to review it as you see fit. So far this is all I have prepared so I want to see how this little 'preview' goes before I decide to post the rest.
Kuray reaches across to his friend and gently wakes him up covering his mouth to make sure no sound is made. "What are we doing here Kuray?" Raito disliked any the last minute change in a plan, let alone if the change was made by his partner. "You said we were going to be robbing a dust shop, not a shipping plant. Why drag me out here when there was an easier job back in Vacuo."
"Calm yourself, Raito. I know what I said, but rumor has it that a small shipment from Vale is coming in, and that since its contents only includes a couple of crates, there's going to be little to no guards making it an easy job." Kuray and Raito make their way across the grassy fields in the dead of night. The dew shining off the ground like a million stars in the night sky, splashing against their feet as they brush over it..
They stop in front of the barb-wired fence perimeter, Raito turns his back to his friend. "The spray is in my bag, our client said it will melt through almost anything." Kuray reaches in and pulls out a grey cylinder can, shaking it first, he sprays a silhouette of a small hole in the fence turning the soaked metal into a rubber like fluid. Kuray grabs the small section of the fence and pulls it out, placing it on the rough dirt.
Being a small freight yard, only used for small shipments with no real interest, the whole facility had limited lighting making it easy to sneak around. Those guards that actually are here, are definitely not expecting someone to break in. Kuray rushes over to a small office building and motions for Raito to follow. Moving from shadow to shadow, they notice a Schnee freighter connected to one of the docks, the crates already being offloaded.
"Okay, there it is. Wait here." Grabbing a walkey off his friends belt, without waiting to hear out his partner's disapproval of the sloppy idea to just plainly run across the concrete dock, Kuray rushes into the darkness going full speed towards the Dust shipment. Putting his back to one of the shipping containers he slowly turns the rusty metal handle to the door. It swings open to reveal pallets of dust containers, wrapped in a protective foil to prevent shift during transport, just sitting there in the dull container. He takes the walkey talkey and puts it in front of his mouth. "Raito get over here, I found the shipment, its all here."
Silence.
"Raito you there?" Kuray begins to move towards the door. "Please don't start with that whole silent treatment thing again, sometimes you can be really immatur-" Stepping out of the container, lights flicker on all around the dock revealing police vehicles in every direction with officers waiting with weapons drawn. "Crap."
With a blow horn a single officer steps out into the open. With a loud ring from the microphone he raises the blow horn to his mouth. "This is the Chief of Police. Put your hands in the air and move away from the container! We have the dock surrounded and your friend in custody." Knowing that Raito was already captured, he knew that he wasn't getting help to get out of this. Accepting defeat he raises his hands into the air and is immediately surround by 5 to 6 officers. They cuff him and escort him to the transport vehicle and seat him next to his partner. Turning to face Raito all he could see was an angry expression stamped on his face.
"A small shipment he says. Little to no guards he says. Do you ever think before you get me into this kind of crap." It may be Raito's anger talking but Kuray knew that he's right. He'd blown it this time, there was no excuse for getting his partner/his best friend into this. "Do you have any idea what kind of time were looking at here. We might be lucky if we ever see daylight again with the record we have!" Kuray has his eyes glued to the ground as he triess to piece together an apology for his friend but his mind was blank.
'How could this have happened.' Kuray thought to himself. Looking over the past few hours, he cant remember seeing signs of any type of way they could have seen him, let alone know about him and Raito being at the docks. Putting his hands to his forehead he slouches forward in disappointment. Raito seeing this, gives a reassuring pat on the back and leans against the gleaming metal wall and tries to drift back to sleep. Knowing that when he woke only thing left for him and Kuray was wherever this truck was taking them.
Kuray and Raito awake as the truck slows to a stop. The rear door opens to reveal the Vacuo Police Station located in the city. They shuffle out of the truck and are escorted into the building where they are put into a small interrogation room. Never actually being caught before, the partners in crime have no idea what to expect. The dull grey walls surround them with a one way window on across from them opened all different types of possibilities, causing both to think about which one was most likely going to happen.
Kuray leans close to his friend sitting next to him, "I know that it probably isn't the best time, but you wouldn't happen to want to put money on what the sentence is would you?" Kuray is answered by an angry stare from Raito, who as of right now, is happy that he is hand cuffed. "Ill take that as a no."
The door to the interrogation room slides open. Behind it reveals a tall man with white hair and black tinted reading glasses and a green coat, with a cane by his side. He pulls out a chair across from them and sits down. "Might I say that it wasn't easy finding you. I highly doubt we would've ever found you if it wasn't for the rumor we started about the dust shipment. I knew that it sooner or later you guys would try something, only had to sit back and wait." The mans voice was somewhat soft and humble. Kuray and Raito exchange quick glances of confusion over the fact that it was rigged all along.
"You started the rumor sir?" Raito wasn't one to be fooled easily, unlike Kuray, but when he was he always had a strange feeling of failure in his heart, that somehow wasn't present in this case.
"How did you know that we would look into it?"
"I wouldn't say that I know everything about you two, but what I do know is that if a big target is let us say "in the open" you two always wouldn't miss it. Taking it to our advantage, we had an agent spread word of the dust shipment to attract your attention." They had to give this man props. He managed to outsmart them in a single night when it took weeks for police to even find where they where the week before.
The man s put his cane on the table. "Do you know who I am?" Looks of confusion were all they could muster when trying to identify the man in front of them. "My name, is Ozpin. I am a professor at Beacon Academy in Vale. I have set up this whole trick because I wish to speak to you two about an offer. How would you like to join our school this year?" The long silence after this offer made the room feel eerie as only the ambiance from the light above can be heard. Finally Ozpin broke the silence. "Keep in mind that refusal will only lead you to jail time, and might I say there is a lot of it waiting for you."
"What exactly do you do at this school?" Kuray questioned. Not knowing anything about this school Kuray seemed to be unwilling to accept his offer. Raito on the other hand, by the look on his face had a completely different opinion.
"Kuray, how do you not know? Beacon Academy is one of the leading schools in huntsman and huntress training. I always wanted to go there, but we never were able to finish training school." During the first year of their training school, a fire broke out in the neighborhood while everyone was sleeping. At the time Kuray and Raito were out for a night in the town, when returning home they were greeted by the flashing lights of emergency crew as people tried to put the fires out. The next day the bodies of their parents were found still fast asleep in their beds. They soon left the school and lived on the street, using their skills in stealth and theft as a way to make money.
"Yes, I've read your file, may I apologize if I have brought up old memories." Ozpin is a man that cares for the people he talks to. And he knows that Kuray and Raito deserve a little caring from someone after what they've been through.
"It is fine." Kuray inclined. "It happened so long ago that we have learned to move on and focus on here and now."
"So will you two accept my offer?" Kuray looked at Raito, and Raito looked back, each thinking the same thing. A new would be good for them. No more living on the street, stealing food out of the trash, being treated like dirt. Today is a new day for them. One that will end them being huntsman at Beacon, when the day started out as them being thieves in Vacuo.
"We Accept."
Decided to upload the rest, since I have it ready.
