Hello Guys! Zeref's son here with my new RWBY fic! I am sorry that the other one got screwed over and what not. This does involve my OC Chris and another one. I changed a few things like his past and a few other things. Anyway, now for the story! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!

In the frozen norths of the northernmost country, Atlas, you could see two figures wearing long cloaks that hid everything about them trudging through the thick snow. One was pure black and the other a dark blue. However, one closer inspection, one could see that the one in black had long almost glossy black hair dripping out from the hood the figure wore. "Hey Yggdrasil." The one in the black said. "Yeah, what is it Thanatos?" The one in blue now known as Yggdrasil asked curiously. "Remind me why we took this job again when we could easily have got a better job?" Thanatos asked. "Well, for starters, the money for research. Two, possibly have General Shit For Brains and his men off our asses for a while. And three, possible get support from the client for more jobs and hopefully have him get the General away from us for good." Yggdrasil said as he finished explaining to his friend. "Fine, but remember, you know how much I hate racists and pompous rich kids." Thanatos replied with traces of anger in his voice. "I know, I know. Just get this done, ok?" Yggdrasil asked with a hopeful face under his cloak. "*sigh* Fine, just make sure your ears are hidden when we get there." "Yeah, yeah I know" "Good." Thanatos said with a ghost of a smile.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally made it to our clients home. The place neither of us wanted to go unless absolutely necessary. The residence of some of the most racist people on Remnant, more specifically Atlas, the *grrrrr* Schnee household. "I hope to God that his two daughters aren't racist like him" Thanatos said as his partner nodded and they continue to walk until they were stopped by the guards at the main gate.
"YOU TWO! STOP WHERE YOU ARE AND STATE YOUR BUSINESS HERE OR ELSE!" One of the three guards yelled at us. The two figures looked at him before turning to each other. After a second they came to a silent agreement when the black cloaked one nodded and the blue one walked forward and produced a small letter from his pocket, or so the guards thought. "Hello, my good men. We're here at the request of Mr. Schnee." and lifted the letter with the white Schnee insignia. The two figures saw how the expression on the guards' face turned from slight anger and annoyance to confusion and finally to shock and fear of the two cloaked figures. After all, the guards only knew of one or two people that will be coming here this week, and it was none other than two of the most dangerous mercenaries alive, the fallen angels of death. That would make any lesser man or lackey shat themselves because of the rumors and deeds they have done, most of them very gruesome or just plan out bloody. "Y-yo-your the two mercs the Boss wants to h-hire?" the guard that yelled at us at first asked very afraid for his life. Before Yggdrasil could respond Thanatos did with his cold voice he usually uses when he's on a job, "Yes, that would be us. Now show us where he is." The boy in black commanded while glaring at them, which they can feel. "U-uh... RIGHT THIS WAY PLEASE!" The three guards yelled with fear in the voices as they all but scrambled around each other like each other like the three stooges. "Good." was all Yggdrasil said before we followed them.
They to mercs were led through the large mansion, more like modern castle because of the sheer size of the damn place, to a living room with sat sipping coffee. As they sat down and the guards hurried to the door, which was far away from the two mercs, and stood guard. was a man who look like he was 41 and had the normal Schnee trait, snow white hair. "Ah, if it isn't the powerful Thanatos and his partner Yggdrasil in the flesh. It is a pleasure to meet you both." He said after looking over them, probably trying to tell who is who. "The pleasure is all mine, Sir" Yggdrasil said while trying to act all kind and what not while dipping his head respectively. "Ah, I see you are a proper gentleman young man!" The owner of the dust company exclaimed. "Thank you sir. Now, not to be rude but, could we get to want you wanted to discuss with us?" Yggdrasil asked. "Of course" he paused for a brief second then continued, "The task I want you two to do is protect my daughter, Weiss, for one year because of my growing enemies and I do not know if I could protect her from them." He said as his face fell a bit. If Thanatos didn't have his hood on, his jaw would be on the floor and you'd see his right eye twitching. 'Seriously! This basically babysitting! I'm an assassin for fucks sake' Thanatos mentally screams. "I...I think we could do that... but where though. Here or our base?" Yggdrasil asked as he was shocked and confused at what he wanted them to do. "I would like you to take her from here to your... base so my enemies can't find her and I'll send a you another letter when I get back so you can bring her home. I will also pay you 65,000 lien for the job." said with a straight face. Even with their hoods on, Yggdrasil and Thanatos' jaws hit the floor, not undoing the hoods though, and had one collective thought, 'S-s-s-sixty-five t-t-thousand lien! HELL YESSSSSSSSSSS! I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT THIS IS BASICALLY BABYSITTING!' The last part being Thanatos though. Yggdrasil immediately agreed to the job and thanked him. "No!No!No! Thank you very much for the job sir!" Yggdrasil said happily as he thanked him.
After Yggdrasil calmed down and Thanatos composed his thoughts, had one last question for them. "Now before we get Weiss, I would like you two to do one thing for me." "And what would that be?" That was the first time Thanatos spoke inside the house. He even didn't use his really cold voice, but he did use a somewhat emotionless one. "I want to know which is which and I would like you to take your hoods off please." He made it sound more like a command more than anything. It took a minute of him asking before we complied. Yggdrasil was first, when the pulled down the hood, it was revealed that he was a guy, and a little more than shoulder length dark brown-black hair came out first. Then you could see his lightly tanned skin, which was odd for where they normally are. And finally his eyes, they were a slightly dark blue, that wasn't even the most intriguing part about his eyes though. In his left was a shockingly similar designed to that of the Milky way galaxy slowly swirling around his pupil in a counter-clockwise motion. In his right was what looked to be a large ornate gear turning turning clockwise around his pupil slowly. "I am Yggdrasill at your service." Yggdrasil said. Now for Thanatos. When he pulled of his hood, his long, almost glossy black hair that went down to the middle of his back fell out first, then we could see his pale skin that looked made him look sick but he was fine. Then his eyes. They were very dark blue in colour and looked really damn cold, which they were! And like Yggdrasill, his right eye had Milky Way galaxy slowly circling the opposite way around his pupil. His other eye however, could not be seen, for it was hidden behind his bangs. "I am Thanatos." Thanatos said calmly. At first, was shocked. He, and a lot of others, thought that the two sitting in front of him would surely be older than this. They looked to be about ten, which fondly enough they were and were quite tall for their age, but with the eyes of men who have been to Hell on Remnant and came back alive. Not many people had those kind of eyes anymore, it was a shame and a good thing.
It was silent for a few minutes before two pairs of feet could be heard behind the door the guards, who were still scared shitless, were at. The door then opened to reveal two snow white haired girls. It was obvious who they were. The taller one was Winter Schnee and the younger one was Weiss who looked sad. "Ah, there you to are. Come, are two helpers are here and took the job already." Their dad said as they walked and sat next to him. When they looked at the two boys, Weiss was confused a little and Winter looked a bit ticked off and turned to her dad. "Father, with all do respect, but how can these... these boys protect Weiss from baby boarbatusk?" She asked with an annoyed tone. "These boys can easily do that, after all, they are the infamous Thanatos and Yggdrasill" he replied while glancing at them and the two boys. At this Winters eyes widened with surprise, fear, and worry. She then turned to the boys and stared at them for a while. "I-im-impossible... they can't be those two..." She said scared now. "First off, we are them and secondly,"Yggdrasill turned to Thanatos ever so slightly and he got the point of it. "Nothing is truly impossible, absolutely nothing." Thanatos finished for him with a sort of cold voice that sent shivers down the two girls backs.
After a few minutes of Winter still in slight disbelief and Weiss now even more confused, the guards brought in bags of stuff, most likely for Weiss' stay with us and then they left scared. "Now I'd hate to keep you here any longer then I should, so you may take Weiss and go if you are ready to." said as we stood near the front door with a slightly teary Weiss hugging Winter who also looked very sad that her sister would be leaving. As those two talked a bit, Thanatos turned to and nodded. "Yes, I think it would be best if we leave now." The boy said and walked towards Weiss took her hand who held his tightly and walked towards the door. However, before he could do anything, a hand grabbed his shoulder tightly. He turned to see Winter there in tears "If you dare let anything happen to Weiss, I swear on my life, I will kill you, Thanatos!" She said with anger very evident. Thanatos sighed and took her hand of him, "And I swear on my life, that I will protect her with my life, so there is no need to worry yourself, Winter." Thanatos stated as he stared into her eyes while he said it. To say everyone was shocked, even Yggdrasil, was understatement. So far the Schnees' have only her his cold voice, but when he talked to Winter just now. He used a kind tone that held no hostilities and lies. "Now we must go, just hold on to me Weiss and you won't get hurt on the way there." Thanatos said with the same voice. Weiss slowly nodded and timidly grabbed his right hand and momentarily cringed a bit at how cold his hand was for a second. "We will see each other in one years time, Mr. Schnee. So please excuse us, as we need to be leaving now." Yggdrasill said softly as he looked at his best friend next to Weiss. "Yes, I believe that would be good." The man said to the boy. After that they left.
Once outside the mansion and a while into the snowy plains, Weiss kept trying to keep warm but was starting to fail. "H-hey mister Th-thanatos-" Weiss started but was cut off. "Chris, just call me Chris considering Thanatos is only my nickname." Chris said as he looks down at Weiss at his right. "O-okay... Chris can you carry me please?" Weiss asked a little scared and embarrassed. "Of course Weiss." Chris said as he lifts Weiss onto his back and she instantly becomes more embarrassed but also becomes warm because of Chris' body heat. "Th-thank you..." Weiss said as she starts to doze off. Chris' friend just snickers at what he's seeing. "Oh, just shut the hell up John." Chris half yelled to his friend. "Sorry, sorry. It's just you're never this to anyone and you to look kinda of cute~" John says. "If I didn't have Weiss on my back and her being asleep, I'd punch you square in the face right now." "Yeah, yeah. I guess it's my lucky day then." "Sure it is John, sure it is." And with that they became quite to not wake Weiss up.
DONE! Got chapter one down! Sorry for the wait guys. Anyway I hope you like my OC John. I made Mr. Schnee nice(not sure if he is or not) for a reason but more on that later. Also this chapter is set six years prior to the show which makes Weiss 11 here. The next chapter will probably be after the start of the show, maybe in the beginning of season two. The pairing is most likely ChrisxWeiss, may change it. I will be going back and forth between the past and the present either through dreams, flashbacks, or chapters, I will tell you which one it is though. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
Seeya later my readers!
