I hope you guys don't hate me for this(why would you?), but I felt it's about time I gave a certain single character an OC to be with.

Ruby's POV

It was a regular Saturday, save for Zwei sleeping beside Blake. That'll be a rude awakening, I silently laughed. Seeing that no one was up and I was wide awake, I decided to see if breakfast was open yet.

On the way out, I caught Ren and Nora just as they were leaving their team's room. "Hey, guys," I greeted. "Are you off to breakfast, too?"

Nora nodded extatically. "Uh-huh! We always get up early for breakfast!"

"She woke me up an hour early and wanted to see if breakfast was being served yet," Ren corrected.

We walked down toward the dining hall, with Nora telling me all about a crazy dream she had had. "-then the Ursa swiped a paw at me and cleaved me clean in half! I thought it was the end, then Ren came in-"

"Ah, Ruby, Ren, Nora." We turned to see Ozpin walking toward us with a group of four following him. "I was wondering if you could take our new team on a tour of the school."

Ren was confused. "But I thought you couldn't join after the first semester."

"This new team is a...special case." He motioned for the team to step forward. "This is Team ATHR. Team leader Arian Silver..."

The sliver haired boy at the front smiled confidently. "Hey," he said directly to me. The scar going down his face from his right eye to the left corner seemed to be in a bad position for a smile, yet it didn't seem to bother him.

"...Tris Range..." The orange haired girl with glasses nervously raised a hand in greeting. "...Hugh Brown..." The large brunette stood with his arms crossed, simply turning his head to acknowledge us. "...and Reyna Azul." The girl with blue hair smiled goofily. "I'll leave them to you." Ozpin turned and walked away.

I smiled at them. "Well, I'm Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY. These are Ren and Nora from Team JNPR. Where should we go first?"

Arian put his arms up behind his neck. "Why don't you decide, Red?"

Ren's POV

The way he responded told me he was most likely a major playboy, but I decided not to mention it. Ruby led the way down the halls, showing them the different classrooms that she actually knew of. I fell back to talk to Hugh.

"Your leader seems to be a bit...confident."

He chuckled. "That's putting it lightly. He sees a cute girl, he makes it his duty to seduce her. Says when he finds one who can resist him, then he'll actually get real." I wasn't surprised; Arian had seemed to be working off a script.

"Well, you should warn him that Ruby isn't his best choice." He looked at me questioningly. "She's two years younger than the rest of us."

Hugh was unfazed. "Even better. Arian got moved up, too, but only by a year. It's been a little wierd seeing him go after older girls." I nodded, understanding his point.

"How crazy would it be if he actually liked Ruby?" We both jumped to the side as Nora suddenly appeared between us. "She doesn't seem that socially active, so she might resist him without even realizing it."

"Nora," I sighed, "what did I say about spying on me?" She moved away giggling.

Hugh recovered pretty quickly from Nora's...wierdness. "Well, that was unexpected." He looked back up at Ruby. "Quick question, does she realize she's still in her pajamas?"

I shook my head. "No, but I really don't think it matters. She was fine when all the first years had to sleep in the main hall together." He nodded that he understood and tuned back into the tour.

We reached the end at the dormitories and she showed them to the room they had claimed to be assigned to. "If you need anything else, just ask," Ruby stated. They filed in to the room and the girls immediately started decorating.

Hugh thanked her for the tour just before being dragged away by Reyna to help hang a sheet in the middle of the room to seperate the two opposite genders. Arian grinned at Ruby. "Thanks. I'll see you when I see you." He winked and walked into the room.

As we walked back to our dormatories, Ruby started commenting on the newcomers. "They seemed really nice, but I didn't really see anything too different about them. Why do you think Ozpin called them a special case?"

I considered the possibilities. "Perhaps their Semblences are what differentiates them. Hugh seemed like he might have a strength-based Semblence, but Arian, Tris, and Reyna were difficult to read." I looked for anything that might point toward their abilities, but saw no indications, as their weapons were nowhere to be seen.

"Speaking of Arian," Ruby continued, "don't you think he seemed a little too friendly?"

I had hoped that she would overlook that. "Maybe he's just excited about his first day at Beacon." She nodded, thankfully being naïve enough to believe me.

"Well, I'll see you guys at breakfast." She walked back into the RWBY dorm.

Arian's POV

I lay on my bed, thinking about whether or not Ruby was worth the effort. She seemed like oneof thoseeasy girls, but I usually ruled them out after the first day.

"Arian," Hugh interrupted my thoughts. "You should really stop. You always choose the girls you know can get. You're not looking for the right girl, you're just being a d-"

I held up a hand. "I see your point. And I saw it last time. And the time before that. Face it, I can't stop even if I wanted to." I heard the air slice and opened my eyes to find Hugh's axe at my neck. "You know that won't work. Look, since I know this'll turn into an endless fight otherwise, I'll cut you a deal. If Ruby doesn't pass, then I'll stop."

He withdrew his weapon. "Knowing you, that's the most I'll get. Fine, but let her down easy this time." I nodded.

Reyna waved for attention. "Hey, A, what's this?" She pulled out a white mask with a fanged hinged jaw and six eyes holes from my bag. A Grimm mask.

Silver shot from under my sleeve and grabbed the mask away from her. "I told you not to look through my stuff!" I growled. I put it under my bed, then winced as my scar throbbed with pain.

Ruby's POV

I entered our room and found Yang and Weiss trying to get Blake down from the ceiling, where she was hanging from by her claws. "Hey, sis," Yang greeted. "She didn't respond well to waking up next to Zwei." The dog barked up at our Faunus friend.

Weiss looked me over disapprovingly. "Were you out for almost an hour in your pajamas?" I looked down at myself. "That reminds me. Where the heck were you?"

"Ozpin had me, Ren, and Nora give some new kids a tour. A new team called Team ATHR." She waited for more info. "I don't really know much besides their names; Arian Silver, Tris Range, Hugh Brown, and Reyna Azul. That's all I know." Blake's claws finally slipped out and she crashed down onto the others. I waited a second for them to get up. "So, I guess I'll see you at breakfast." I started to walk out, them remembered I still hadn't changed. "As soon as I get dressed."

Hugh's POV

That same night, I waited until everyone was asleep, then got up and made my way around Reyna's mess to Arian's bed. I retrieved the Grimm mask from underneath it and inspected it closely. I couldn't identify the material it was made from, and the design seemed too perfect for a person to make. I check the inside and nearly threw up. Black flesh was stuck to the inside, connected by dead nerves. I wasn't holding a crappy cosplay; this was a trophy. A genuine Grimm mask, taken right off a Grimm's face. I looked at our sleeping leader. "What are you hiding, Arian?"
