RWBY - Wilted Roses

by Miouta Uzumaki

Ruby enjoys her life at Beacon, but she gets another room mate, as Ozpin is admitting another student into the school. A Nefertisian, not a race, but people who have traditional blood, have a special power, bone marrow. But, this was the first time, that Beacon accepted a student in the middle of the year. What could be special, about this new student, who's living with Ruby Rose?

1. Chapter 1

"What are you doing here? I didn't think you'd find me that quickly?"

"I didn't. I just happened to stumble upon here. And here you are, naked, Ruby Rose."

"Shut up. Why don't you just look away, so I can put something on?"

"Alright, fine, fine."

Ruby looked around, and couldn't find any clothing, at all, she was there, in the train car, naked.

"Uh, I can't find any clothes?"

"Take the guards."

"He's a big brute, no way, am I going to fit in that!"

"Fine, here…" He took off his shirt, and pants, and threw it behind him, for her to put it on.

"But, you're naked too."

"At least my underwear, wasn't ripped off, and the guard's clothes won't fit me, either… So, hurry up!"

"Alright, jeez, way to treat a girl, you know. Just what's your problem?"

"I'm… Just shy around girls, okay? I tend to have a switch, whenever."

" Awkward! "

"Shut it."

"Okay!"

Putting on his clothes, he tried not to peek, but he just couldn't imagine. He has this thought in mind, 'How could someone so young, have such nice breasts? You've got be in for one heck of a miracle to inherit that!' Ruby placed a hand on his shoulder, and he looked back.

"How do I look?"

"Well, great, I guess… I'm only in my underwear, so I hope you don't mind?"

"Well, we can't just wait for reinforcements, so let's just go, and get out of here!"

(2 weeks ago before the train wrecks start to come)

"Alright, class! We have a new student to be admitted today!"

"Really, Headmaster Ozpin? We have a new student? That is quite, preposterous!"

"Well, I decided myself, to bring him along, and I do say, I'm also sorry for the intrusion, Mr. Port."

"Oh, by jove, no, good sir! I'm just as interested, as to who this gentleman is! Tell me, young fellow, what is your weapon, and semblance?"

In the seats of the students, Weiss, seemed confused.

"What's wrong, Weiss? You look, well, uh, confused?" Ruby asked her.

"How can I not be? There's never been a new student, in the middle of the year! It's really weird, that they are doing this for the first time, too at Beacon.!"

"Doing what?"

"Beacon's only for the best, of the best! They've only taken in students at the beginning of the year, but never in the middle."

"She's right, Ruby, there's usually no new students, in fact, whoever, is appointed, at the beginning of the year, either get kicked out, or stays, so it's a negative value, or the same value of students, throughout the whole year." Blake explained in thorough details, towards Ruby.

"Well, he looks sort of, cool, if you know what I mean." Ruby looked at him with curiosity, as he listened to each of Mr. Port's speeches, replying, with a, "Yes."

"Hold on." Yang held the palm of her hand open towards Ruby.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you…" Yang held a pause, for dramatic effect.

"Am I what, sis?"

"Holding a crush, already?!" Yang, with a high-pitched voice, squealed at the top of her lungs, excited that Ruby, is finally trying to get out of her shell, and is now interested into guys.

"It's not like that-!"

"Oh, but it is! See, you're blushing all over! Could, it be, that my young, adorable sister, has finally gotten through puberty?!"

"Shhh! Yang! Not so loud!"

"I'm sorry… NOT! Oh, Ruby! (Whispering) I can't wait to see your pubic hair, next time we take a shower!" Yang had said such embarrassing things, and decided to bear hug her younger sister.

"Get… OFF!"

"As, it is, my great-great-great-great-great-grand forefather, was an amazing man, who slashed down all the petrifying Grimm! It was then that, - Thud* You two! How dare you interrupt my speech!?"

Both Yang, and Ruby, bowed, "We're sorry," said solemnly, as they knew what was coming next.

"That'll be an extra fifty setter notes (Write a question, and by using the text, come up with an elaborate thesis, as an answer) to the both of you!"

"Fifty!? I can barely do twenty in 4 hours!"

"Too bad, Ruby! Although, just for you Miss Xiao Long, I'll make it 30!"

Yang rolled her eyes, and Ruby, clenched her teeth, and her fists, at this outrage. She then looked over to the boy, with just her eyes. He was tan-skinned, medium length of black hair, muscularly skinny, hazel colored eyes, and had an average height. He was looking at her too, with curiosity.

'I wonder what weapons he has? Ooh! I am so curious! Those sheaths look so cool!'

He had weird sheaths, his weapon seemed to be small, but Ruby knew not to judge any weapons by their looks.

"Alright, Mr. Port, I'll be taking my leave, take care everyone!"

Everyone waved to Professor Ozpin, and as he exited, he placed one final look at the new student, and then disappeared.

"Alright, now that, that's settled! Let's move on. Everyone! This is, our new student, at Beacon Academy! Why don't you introduce, yourself, young lad?"

Everyone at the class, was interested, no one, has ever heard of a new student in the middle, of the year. It could mean only one thing, Professor Ozpin, saw something in this young man, that posed great responsibility, and potential.

"Uh, hi, everyone. My name's Meshawn Khan. I'm sixteen years old as of now, and I just transferred from Signal Academy."

Everyone in the class, gasped, someone who was sixteen transferred to Beacon, two years ahead, the only other exception, was Ruby. Ruby, was even more curious, of who this person, he had to be as skilled as she was.

"Wait, you said you came from Signal, I'm right, right?"

"Yep, Signal Academy!"

"Oh okay, just wondering!"

"Alright, Professor Port, where can I take my," – Professor Port cut him off, "Now lad, before, we can give you your seat, you'll be fighting this Grimm Beowolf."

"Mr. Port, you can't do that! It goes against section 9, of, "Teacher Disciplinary Limits," of the student code of conduct!" Weiss said, having to try and feel proud about reading the student code of conduct.

"By jove, does that matter? Who has more authority, Ozpin, or the book?"

"Ozpin, recommended this? That can't be, he would never, do such a thing!"

"Why, Pyrrha, of course he would! He came here for a reason."

"But-!"

Before, someone else, could speak, Ruby held her hand high.

"Enough, I want to see this strength myself. I'm curious as to why Professor Ozpin, would bring two students who are two years under, to Beacon. Could it be chance? Is he worthy? Or, did I forget to turn my calendar to April Fools?"

"Preposterous, I have followed Professor Ozpin's example, and leadership for years, there's no way, he lucked out, on him!"

No one knew what to think, Mr. Port was going to bring another Grimm to class and put it out on a first year, who skipped ahead two years, unlike Weiss, no one thought he would have a strong semblance, weapon, or enough experience.

"Ah! Tough challenge on the first day! How nice of you, Mr. Port."

"With pleasure, my dear Meshawn have at ye, at one of the Grimm's finest, the Beowolf!"

Taking out the creature everyone sat in their seats, staring at him, not the creature, but Meshawn, he still hasn't taken out his weapon, but was too cocky to think he can take on the beast.

"Wait, Mr. Port!"

Ruby, spoke out of turn, and as her hand is raised, the crew stared at her, nay, the whole room. Meshawn, on the other hand, was scratching his arm nervously, not knowing what to do in this situation.

"Uh, little, Miss Red Riding Hood?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think I'm weak?"

"Why, no! It's just, too early to present an enemy on a guy's first year-!"

"Pfft. I can handle it, just watch."

Ruby sat down, her hands over her lap. Mr. Port, cleared his throat, and decided to keep the lesson going, "As I was saying, bring in the Beowolf!" The staff committee, came, three members strong, carrying a large cage, with a Grimm Beowolf, in it.

"Alright! Release, the Beowolf!"

"Aw! What an adorable creature, you are!"

(Snarl)

"Come on, Rollo!" He starts to suck his tongue, and try to lure it to him.

(Growl!)

The monster started to charge at him, and he was waiting for an opportunity.

Jaune was worried, he thought Meshawn would be cocky enough, to try and take on the beast, without using semblance, or his weapon, he was shivering.

"HEY!"

"What?"

"Take out your weapon, ya dunce!"

"Pfft. I don't need to."

As the beast neared him, he jumped back at the wall, and ricocheted, back towards the beast, but this time, legs first, had landed both of his feet, at the monster's face, causing him to be pushed aback, with a dropkick to the jaw.

"That's all ya got? I'm disappointed. Why don't you go back home to that cage of yours, looks like a cool place to stay!"

(Roar!)

"Oh, come on! I was just saying."

As the beast came to charge him again, he flipped, in mid-air, and landed a single strike with his fist, down the cranium of his enemy, with that, the enemy tumbled forward, and back.

"Grr…" The Beowolf, couldn't move as much, he was stuck in place. Meshawn, had then picked up the broken tooth, "Oh, dude! You forgot this!"

Doing a three-sixty flip, he thrusted the tooth in the, Beowolf's chest, rendering him unable to move, and unable to live, he was dead, coming down with a thud.

"Alright! I won!" Meshawn jumped up in joy, and so did the crowd, who clapped to his success.

"Yeah, you go dude!" Jaune shot him the thumbs-up, and surprised, he could do it.

"Awesome work, for a new-year, and youngster!" Pyrrha, voiced her approval as well by whistling."

"Man, shit could've taken me half the time to do," Cardin was being smug as always, voicing his disagreement, with applause. Then, Mr. Port, stepped up, in front of Meshawn.

"Without aura, I presume, Mr. Winchester?"

"There's no way, he could've-!"

"Oh, but I did, big guy, I beat that thing, without a weapon, or using aura, I just did that much training."

"Now, now, no need to show off, Mr. Khan. We are now going into our original curriculum, starting where your seat will be, over there, next to Ruby Rose," without pointing, she waved her hand at Meshawn, as he himself came over to sit next to her.

"Hi, nice to meet you."

"Hello! It's a pleasure to meet someone, hailing from Signal!"

"Oh you're, from Signal, too? Nice!"

"Alright, students, enough chatter! Let's get on with the lesson!"

A boring thirty minutes, went by, and the lesson had been finished. It was the last class of the day, and everyone headed back to their dorms.

"Hey Ruby, want to play Fighters Revolve, today?" – As Yang was going to suggest, something to do, she was cut off.

"Sorry, can't! You guys go ahead, and I'll catch up later!" Ruby ran back, leaving her friends in the dust.

"What's gotten into her?" Weiss complained, under her mouth.

"No idea, probably puberty?" Yang joked around.

As the other three girls went back to their room, Ruby met up with Meshawn.

"Oh, hey Ruby!"

"Hey! Uh, there's something, I would like to ask…"

"What is it?"

"Would you…."

"Would I…?"

"Show me where you're going to?"

"Uh, well, sure."

"Yeah, better yet, accompany, you! We could be best buds! And just walk around the school together!"

"Yeah! That'd be a great idea! But, if it's alright with you, Headmaster Ozpin, told me, to go get aligned with my new buddies."

"Okay, where are they?"

"Well, I got to meet them at the dorms, it's room 216."

"Alright, I'll come with you!"

"Thanks, Ruby!"

As they walked on, and towards his room, Ruby began a conversation, about, Meshawn a bit more.

"So, Meshawn, tell me? What weapon, do you use?"

"That's a surprise! I don't intend to show my weapon, until then, I'll stick to hand-to-hand combat."

"That's… So, cool! How you took out a friggin, Beowolf, unarmed!"

"Thanks, finally, someone who can appreciate me for how good I did, for once."

"Really? I thought everyone was surprised, how you pulled that off."

"Well, my parents are just sticks up, my butt, if you know what I mean."

Ruby giggled to herself, "Sticks, up my butt! Ha!"

"I guess, you don't know, what I mean… Anyway, I'm going to go greet my new buddies, see ya later!"

"See ya! Wait a minute, my dorm's close here!"

"Nice, we can have a chat, occasionally!"

Ruby, hadn't noticed that she walked all that distance while talking to him. It seems, Yang underestimated her social capabilities. Rather, it wasn't a matter of being social, or not, but the desire. Ruby was more tomboyish, but in still aspects, was a girl in the long run.

Ruby kicked the door open, and in a singsong voice, "I'm back!" As always Weiss, was studying, surprised, and let out a quick, "Eep!" Which was her squeal.

"God! Can you stop doing that, for once?!"

"I'm sorry, I just have so much, fun doing this, and as plus; you won't be bored, so that's your relief, for the day!"

Weiss, let out a growl, towards Ruby, and then looked back to her studies, ignoring her all the while.

"Well, fine! Have it your way, Weiss!" Ruby stepped forward with one foot, but Weiss was intimidated, and then to the middle of the room, she saw Yang, play against a computer opponent, and Blake was reading her usual book, "Ninja's of Love."

"Yang!"

"Hey, Ruby! How's it going? *Game Over, Soaring Ninja has achieved Total Annihilation* Damn it!"

"I see, you're still losing to that one character in that game!" Ruby giggled, as Yang had lost again, but was still determined to play again, despite the topping notes she had to do. Not to mention, Ruby as well, Blake, and Weiss, on the other hand may or not have been on top of their studies. While Weiss, does take pride in her work, she still studies more often, than not. Blake, on the other hand, is worried about their enemies, and thinks about them more silently, thus, her grades steadily declined. A long silence, had taken over, the atmosphere, then Blake, had broken it.

"So, how was the new, student? Flirt, with him, or anything?"

Ruby gasped, and covered her cheeks, "MM-mm! I didn't flirt with him! Yang, and dad, always tell me to get to know more people!"

"Ah, I see. Well, what was his name again? Mae-sawn?"

"Meshawn. Where's the h?"

"There is no H, he literally is pronounced Meshawn, just without the h. But, just answer the question."

"Well, apparently, he's going to live in one of the dorms closest, to us. So, we can, and say hi, whenever!"

"Correction, Ruby, you can say, "Hi!" whenever, us, on the other hand, aren't interested in your crush."

"I don't like him! At least, not the way, you're thinking Weiss."

"Well, if he were to get a date, it definitely, wouldn't be any of us, but you!"

"Why's that?"

"Because, he's sixteen, young sis of mine. I'm into hot guys, and young guys, but preferably, someone, a little older than me. Not the other way around.

"Same here, Ruby, is the youngest of us all, and if, 'That guy,' wanted a date, it would be her. Since, well they both graduated-," Ruby had enough.

"ALRIGHT, ENOUGH ALREADY! Stop, telling me, "Oh, he's a great guy!" "He's of age, and all!" Stop it!"

"Fine, we'll let you talk, then, sis."

"So, anyway, he's going to live in the nearby dorms."

Weiss, looked back, "That's impossible, Ruby, all the dorms, are already filled up."

"Well, he said, he was supposed to be here, in one of the dorms here."

"What room?" Yang had asked, with peaked curiosity.

"216, it should be close by, I don't know, but, what's our room number? I want to know!"

Everyone, in the room looked at Ruby, wide-eyed, and stared.

"Oh, fine! I'll look myself…" Ruby crossed her arms, and went out, to check the door number, but before she could, Blake asked,

"Uh, Ruby, we aren't staring at you, because of your negligence, but rather, because, what if that guy was with us?"

"Then, we will start a riot."

"But-!"

"Justice will be served for the embarrassed!"

*Knock* *Knock*

Ruby was interested as to who that was.

"Coming!" She had said in an almost cheerful, yet curious voice. She hopped along the room, and then Weiss, growing furious, had said, "Open the door!"

"Fine!" Aggravated, Ruby had finally turned the knob on the door, and then saw who it was.

They both reclaimed, "This is your dorm!?"

Yang held a hand to her chin, "Who is it, Ruby?" She let out a sigh, thinking it could be Jaune, trying to get Weiss's attention. Then, again, he wouldn't ask if this is Ruby's dorm.

"It's Meshawn!"

"Heyo! What's up, my- Dudes?!"

Blake corrected him, saying, "Dudettes* and what are you doing here?"

"This is my room, I mean our room, which is 216."

"We can't have a guy, in the same room, as us, girls! It's so… So… Weird!"

"Oh come on, Weiss, think of this as of Ruby, getting out of her safe zone! She's gotta step out, out of that barrier, somehow!"

"For the last time, Yang… I… Don't… Like… Him. Got it!"

"Sure, you don't! (Whispers, to Blake) How long till, she gets to second base?" Both Yang, and Blake laugh.

"So, Meshawn? Right? I, got your name, right?

"Yep. It's me, Meshawn Khan, and you are, Ruby Rose!"

"Yay, he remembers me! So, it's almost 10 pm, where, or who, are you sleeping with?"

"Wait, what? I'm too young for that! There's no way, I could sleep with any of the older… Ones…" His jaw dropped, and so did his luggage, he was astounded by the beauty of, the other three. Yang; the hot-blooded, seasoned, fighter, with a rack to boot, as well as funny personality, and a person, who makes terrible puns. Blake; mysterious, yet, making her all the cuter, as she is most silent in thought. Weiss; the pretty, rich girl, who could always get what she wants, yet the most petite one. While, Meshawn was staring at them, Ruby, came into the front of his view, and asked, "Hellooo?! Remnant, to Meshawn!"

"Oh, sorry, I dozed off again. Well, anyways, I think, I'll be sleeping on the floor."

"You can't do that! You need so sleep, on something comfortable!"

"Aw, don't worry. I got a sleeping bag, just in case. I can just doze off, on the floor, and go to tomorrow's class, all of you."

They all looked at him, stared, and then Weiss, interrupted the silence.

"Well, whatever suits you, I don't feel any comfortable, with a guy, sleeping in the same room as us girls."

"Hey, I'm not the one, makes the rules, much less, the person, who puts a guy in the same room as four girls," Meshawn, countered, and laughed.

"Well, if you're not annoying, and I can keep reading this book, that's fine by me," Blake had said, reading her favorite book, "Ninja's of Love."

"Don't worry- Wait."

"Hmm?"

Yang asked the curious male, "What is it, Meshawn?"

He tilted his head, at the book, "Ninja's… of… Love? Is that a romance, novel?"

"No… It's a horrific romance, where the lover, takes control of another guy, and makes her fall for her."

"Oh, so that's a fetish, you have? Then, it's like a cat, hunting her prey, right?" Licking his lips, "Hmm, that's kinda seducing, and hot."

Blake growled at him, "You…! Yes, it's a romance novel."

"Well, why didn't you say so?"

"I was being sarcastic, why, do you ask?"

"Well, I actually like to write some romance, from time to time."

"Really? If it's okay with you, let me see one of your, "Works."

"Sure, fine by me, I'm not really a writer, or anything, but love is a virtue."

Yang came by, next to Ruby, "Maybe, someone, could learn, a thing, or two, from this guy," Yang finished, nudging her elbow, to Ruby's shoulder. Then, Ruby whispered her discontent, same with Yang.

"Oh, stop! I don't need a guy like that, Yang. So, stop, trying to pair me up with him."

"Oh, come on, this could be the, one guy who might actually like you!"

Ruby had enough, she was going to yell at her, "Well-!" Then, the loudspeaker, came on.

"Student's, rest well, we will be holding another local tourney, at this school, between all its student's, please be aware, to get some extra sleep. We wouldn't want, anyone to doze off, and not notice that their aura is fully depleted." Glynda Goodwitch's voice, was heard, amongst, the dorms, and the lights went off quickly, each dorm filled with students, going to sleep.

"Oh god, another one?" Weiss, had complained, putting away all her homework, and going back to sleep.

"Whelp, early to bed, early to rise, guys!" Yang went back to the top bunk of her bed, and pulled her sheets back. Before, she turned off her lamp light, "Oh, and Ruby, do something about that temper, of yours, no guys are into feisty, women." Yang, pointed at Ruby, before going back to bed.

Ruby startled, had steam flowing on her forehead, while Meshawn, chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing, ha."

"Well, you two, "Can do what thy wants," and I'm off to bed." Pulling her covers, over her, she was going to sleep, until Ruby, asked.

"What do you mean, "Can do what, thy wants?""

Blake was fast asleep, unnoticed, of what was said. Ruby, yawning, as well, had said her final words, before she had gone to sleep.

"Well~ Good night, Meshawn."

"Good night, Ruby."

As they both, went into, a deep sleep, Ruby looked out of her bed, and toward Meshawn.

"One more thing, before I go to sleep, Meshawn."

"Hmm, what is it?"

"If we somehow, should fight each, other, we are placing bets, whoever loses, must do whatever the winner says, got it?"

"Wait, what? What's the local tourney again?"

"Good night~!"

"Damn it."

The night was young still, but he, himself, had nightmares, and trounced around in his bedsheets. No one had heard, him in the room, they were all sound asleep, however, from one of the beds, that were hung, Ruby, couldn't sleep at all. Her bed, stayed at an angle, and was wide awake, and peered over her bed.

"What is he doing? Why, is Meshawn so… Frightened? Wait, is he… Having a nightmare, right now? What if, he's too scared, to fight in the tourney?"

"No… Dad, please don't be so cruel… I hate…" He was twisting and turning about in his sleeping bag, then Ruby came down, quietly, as to not awake the others.

She whispered loudly, in his ear, "Meshawn!"

He had awoken, and looked at Ruby with tired, and yet depressed eyes as if he had just gone through a life of hell, in one single night.

"Ruby? Wha -?"

Ruby, grasped him in her embrace, she didn't want him to succumb any more to nightmares, she hatched a plan at this moment, as the person she hugged, was wallowing on her chest.

"Wait -!"

"Shhh. Everything's gonna be fine! I know, just what you need!"

"Ruby, you can't be serious…"

"Oh, but, I'm the one that's supposed to say that." She came up to him, holding her hand on his chest, as he breathed in slowly, and then exhaled.

(Next Morning)

The night passed by, quickly, everyone had awakened from their slumber, and arose, quite slowly, Meshawn, and Ruby, on the other hand, were still wide-awake. In fact, they were already up, and ready to go against each other.

"What the heck, you two? (Yawn) How is it, that you're ready to go, and fight now?"

"I don't know, I just am, I had a good rest, and now I'm all prepared, to fight," Meshawn had answered.

"Yeah! Let's go there right away! I wanna see who I'm going against. Pray for me, Meshawn," Ruby had held her hands together.

"That you don't get whooped?"

"Oh, no something worse!"

"Which is, what, Ruby?" Weiss had asked, curious, of what it could be.

"You'll just have to find out!"

Ruby, and Meshawn had went out, and as they neared the end of the hallway, they heard, Jaune, and Ren talking.

"Uh, so Ren."

"Hmm? What is it, Jaune?"

"Eh... What… Uh…" Jaune was fumbling for words, and was trying to be discreet, but failed.

"Is there something the matter, Jaune?"

"No! Uh… No there isn't…" chuckling nervously, he mustered up courage once more.

"So, what girls are you into, Ren?"

"Well- I'm into-?" There was disruption, as the Pyrrha, and Nora, were talking loudly, in the shower.

"Oh, Pyrrha! What nice breasts, you have!"

"Nora, now isn't the- Oh my, don't feel me there!"

"Come on, Pyrrha, we're both girls! It's fine!"

"But Jaune- I mean someone will hear!"

Both guys, in the room, stood still, and then Jaune broke the silence, "Well. That's a thing."

"Certainly. It's a good thing, we rested up, and took our showers, early on."

"Uh, Ren, I just woke up."

"Really? I woke up a few hours ago, and I could've swore I saw you walking around."

"I was probably sleep-walking."

"*Sleep-peeing*" Ren chuckled at the fact.

"Oh, shut it."

Outside, their dorm room, Meshawn, and Ruby, were eavesdropping, overhearing what was happening.

"So, Meshawn?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"No, if it's the question, I think -!"

"What girls are you into?"

"- It is… Uh?"

"Is it short cute girls, with short red, and black hair, and has silver eyes?"

"Uh…"

"Girls, with cute dresses, and a red cape?"

"Uh…"

"Girls with -?"

"Alright, I get it, I like busty blondes, okay?"

"Busty blondes? Isn't Yang one of them?"

"I guess… Yeah."

"I'll go tell her then! YAAAN—PFFTH!"

"SHH! Don't just tell her! I don't want to be called some kind of pervert!"

Crutch! *

"Ow…" He whispered his pain, making sure no one had heard.

"You really want to do this, huh? I'm telling you, you're not going to lay a hand on my sister. Got it?"

"But, I wasn't going t-! Ah! OH! Okay, okay, I got the memo! Just get your hand out of my crotch!"

"What's the magical word~?"

"Please?!"

"Nope."

She lets go, and he lets out a sigh of relief, trying to recover from, the intense amount of pain he had given her, by having his crotch, caught, grabbed, and crushed.

"Please, never do that again."

"Will, you stop then?"

"Whatever, annoys you, I'll stop, promise."

"Then we're good! Off to the tournament!"

"Right!" As they dashed to the local arena in the school, Ren, and Jaune peeked out of their rooms.

"Uh, you don't think they noticed us eavesdropping, do you?"

"Let's just be on our best guard, we don't want them finding out…" Everyone got ready, and finally headed over to the arena. At the arena, the matches started by having Pyrrha fight team: CDRL, winning by a landslide so far, as she easily knocks them out one by one.

"God damn, it! Why is she so strong?!" Cardin yelled out his anger, charging towards her with his mace, only to be kicked back by Pyrrha.

"You're too cocky, Cardin, you need to devise strategies, with your team, else, they'll end up being Grimm food."

"Shut it!" Another one started swinging his sword around, and tried to shoot her, but it was in vain, as Pyrrha tripped him, and shot him back as well, keeping her distance from the rest of the enemy team.

"Wow, she's good at what she does. What's her name?"

"Hmph, looks like there's another idiot, who can relate to vomit boy. She's Pyrrha Nikos, a famed champion, known for her strength, and intellect, in, and out of the battlefield," Weiss crossed her arms, and explained all the details to him, as well as comparing him to Jaune.

"Oh, I see… Who's vomit boy?"

"Jaune Arc," answered Yang, "He tended to have a bit of an airsickness before, when me, and Ruby started to get ready, and go to Beacon for our first time. He just puked every other hour, it was disgusting."

"Hey! I can't help it, when it comes to heights! I just can't handle it, okay?" Jaune retorted in a personal manner.

"Oh, so you're Jaune, right?"

"Yeah, and you're the new student… Meshawn, right?"

"That's me! Meshawn, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Same here, so how's it going, living with 4 lovely broads?"

Weiss grunted her displeasure, Blake kept reading her book, and Yang was openly disgusted, and looked away towards Pyrrha's fight. Ruby, on the other hand, stared at Meshawn, without him noticing, for a while.

"Well… I guess it's cool, but they don't seem to be in the mood to talk."

"Any of them, at all?"

"Nope."

"Not even interested?"

"Nope."

Ruby's eyes went whole white, and widened. Did Meshawn just deny her? She wasn't too happy about that.

"Hey, who's that guy? Never seen him before."

"Oh, him? He and two other girls, just moved in last week, they're transfer students."

"How long, are they staying?"

"Month, or two, hey, where are you going?"

"I'm just going to say hi…" Meshawn looked at him carefully, then went towards him.

"Oh boy, one of these days, that guy is going to get himself killed, that means one less friend I can talk to," looking down in depression, he saw that his scroll had dropped, Jaune picked it up, and waved it towards him.

"He-!" Ruby closed his mouth, and snatched the scroll, from his hands.

"Hey, what are you… Doing?"

"I'm just going to get some payback… See ya, Jaune!"

Ruby left in a hurry to meet the rest of her team, "Well, I guess, I'm going to sit with Ren, then, he's a good listener."

As it was, Meshawn went up to one of the transfer students, and decided to greet them.

"Hey, man! My name's Meshawn, what's yours?"

In a slight, faint, and yet begrudged voice, "Mercury."

"Nice to meet you! How are you liking it here?"

"Well, it's fine really, wait a minute, I haven't seen you before?"

"I'm a new student, just came in yesterday," chuckling at the fact, Mercury, was astonished.

"You're kidding?"

"Nope. I came in, Ozpin, himself took me here."

"Really? Well, I might actually, have some interest in talking with you."

"Really?"

"Remember, I said, might."

Saying it under his breath, as if he was aggravated, "Pfft, Douche."

"Are you one of those… Nefertisians?"

"Well, yeah, how much about them do you know?"

"Only the most religious people, who care so much about their god, even in times of crisis."

"Yeah, that's them, only, I hate it. My dad really has forced to read some stupid book; in a language, I don't understand."

"Is it in Nefertia?"

"Yeah, it is. I just don't understand what's the point, if I can't understand it."

"Yeah, I see what you mean."

"How's your dad, though? He's gotta be nicer than mine," laughing, he waited for his answer.

"I'd… Rather, not talk about, he passed away, a few years back."

"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sorry for asking, too."

"Nah, it's fine, no need to be sorry, anyways, those girls, keep looking back at you."

"Well, before we worry about that, let me take out, my scroll, and we can play some ga- Ah… Crap."

"What happened?"

"I think they have my scroll."

Mercury, started laughing, pointing at the scroll, Ruby had shown.

"Alright, enough is- Oh my god."

The four of them were laughing, Ruby, couldn't control it, Yang, held her head high, with her hand, chuckling, Blake, blushed, and Weiss, looked away, disappointed.

"They're not looking, at my private history, are they?"

"Do you watch that, on your public pages?"

"Good point."

"I can also, see that you're into busty blondes, too. Eh, I'm more into slim girls, but either way, if they don't have a snappy personality, it's fine."

Mercury, eyeballed Emerald, and gave off his disproval, by making faces at her.

"Oh, shut it, you know, I'm just like that."

Mocking her, "Oh, Mercury, you're such an annoyance, please leave me alone!" He elbowed Meshawn, to show off his attention, but he was too engaged as Ruby, was torturing him, by showing him videos, every few seconds, and smiling every now and then. Just then, Pyrrha was finished, and Goodwitch had just called the match.

"Pyrrha Nikos, was won the match, against Team Cardinal. You seem ready for the tournament, Pyrrha."

"I still have a long way to go, Ms. Goodwitch, and I couldn't have come here without my team."

Looking back at the students, she decided to get another match in, "Alright, everyone, let's get the next two participants in the arena, hmm, how about you Ms. Belladonna, you've been docile for the past few days."

"Um -!"

"I'll go!"

"Who do you chose to fight, Ms. Rose?"

Whispering, "Oh man, Meshawn, if she picks you, you're done for."

"Shut it, Mercury, I don't -?"

He looked back, and his eyes went wide, "Meshawn Khan."

"Ah, crap."

"Very well, you two come to the arena, and we shall get prepared, Pyrrha, you may go back as well."

"Yes, mistress."

"Uh, Ruby, can I have my scroll back?"

"Nope."

"Why?!"

"If you beat me, then I'll give it back, but if you lose…" Ruby contemplated her deal.

"Then, what?"

"If I lose, then what?"

"You'll just have to find out."

As they entered the arena, Ruby took out her Crescent Rose, while Meshawn stood there in his fighting stance.

"Come at me, Ruby, I'm waiting~!" He had said in a high-pitched voice.

"Oh god," Mercury groaned with disgust.

"You're sure? Meshawn I'm not taking any responsibility, for hurting you."

Goodwitch intervened saying, "It's fine, nothing is against you, if anything, it would be his fault, now, start the match."

Ruby, charged forward, weapon in hand, and as she leapt in the air, she came spinning down towards him, she could see him, every other second, he stood in place, she didn't know why, but she had a small crush on him, she wondered if it would blossom, or not, but for now, she focused on taking him down.

"You better not get mad at me for this…" grunting she had tip of her Crescent Rose, land on his chest, she fainted a little, afraid, of the coming scars, but it was all for naught, her worries. His arms were crossed above him, and at the same time grinned at her.

"Really? This all you got, little red?"

"Shut up!" In her anger, she side kicked him in the stomach, and jumped back.

"Come on," gasping for air, "If you want to be strong, you gotta go all-out, if you want to beat me… Well, too bad!"

Launching himself, as he stepped back, he catapulted towards Ruby, laying out his right fist, and landed it on Ruby's Crescent Rose.

"What kind of semblance do you have?"

"Not a semblance, but a weapon!" In the air, as he locked arms against Ruby, he took his right leg, and swirled it from back, right unto, Ruby's ribcage, and fell back towards the wall.

"Tch! What kind of weapon is that?!"

"My weapon, is Bone Marrow, I can strengthen, and weaken the bones, in my body, and I can even manipulate them outwards to create a variety of weapons, but my semblance is much more special, oh ho! You'll love it!"

"Yeah, I'm sooo head over heels for it," Ruby stated sarcastically.

"Really?"

"Nope!"

Again, another charge by Ruby, she went towards him, "What are you trying to do?" Strengthening the marrow in his hands, he created reinforcedbone gauntlets, and punched through her cape, only to have her split into three paths behind him, thus attacking from behind.

"Got you…" Within her silver eyes, Meshawn had noticed a fire within those eyes burning, he held his hands high to guard himself, but Ruby herself, hit her feet back on the wall, spun, and spun horizontally, forward, and with the momentum of her speed, kicked Meshawn back, to the other side.

"Damn, you're good, but…" Crossing his arms, he took them in, and spread them out, causing extra bones to extrude, out of his arm, sharp, and pointed.

"So, you wanna play like that, huh?" Cocking her Crescent Rose, she stood it on the ground, and started aiming at him.

In the crowd, they conversed about the battle, "I find it surprising, that someone can use their own bones, to fight someone," said Jaune.

"I think it's more of a semblance than a weapon, I wonder why he only called it a weapon, though," Pyrrha stated, and was confused.

"You think he something up his sleeve? Something, we could never, ever think of?"

"Yang, I think you just jinxed us, well more Ruby."

"Nora, I don't think that's going to apply here, I'm pretty sure, whoever wins, just wins."

Back in the arena, He jumped side to side, with the help of his bones, dodging each shot, whilst coming toward Ruby, with his bones extrude out, with fine tip, as he neared closer, and closer, he finally came, toe to toe, bone tips, hitting her around the torso, but Ruby, herself, traded these blows with her scythe, blocking about each move. They were at a tie, his bones came off quick, and Ruby had scars near here and there, nonetheless, the next occurrence was apparently feinted.

"Alright! How about one, forward?!"

As he jutted out his blade, towards Ruby, he expected her, to either flee, or block it, and if she did block, or even parry, he can still get a good kick in. But, it wasn't like it seemed, she put her weapon down. And tried to accept a strong blow to the chest.

'What is she doing?!'

The crowd was, taken aback, everyone was on edge, as Goodwitch was going to take another step forward, Ruby turned into red leaves, and then appearing behind him, took him by the neck, and shot him with Crescent Rose, forcing him to fall all the way back to the other end of the wall.

Yang: "I didn't Ruby had it in her, to just fake, then attack?"

Ren: "Really, well-constructed, I think, Ruby might be just a little cocky, but in due time, she should become a stronger warrior by then."

Jaune: "So, I guess, the match is over, he looks pretty beat up."

Blake: Turning her head, from her book, and looking at Jaune, "No, it's not, both of their auras, have turned yellow, I think there's more we don't know about what he can do."

Jaune: "What makes you say that?"

Blake: "He hasn't used any manner of dust, think about what could happened, if -!"

Crack*

A girl with the same voice as Ruby's, was heard, as gas enveloped around Meshawn. It was more laughter, as if he, or she, had something surprising to show up his, or her sleeve.

"Well, well, did you really think, you could best me?"

"Who are you? Also, your aim was a little off."

"That was just a warning shot."

As the gas dispersed, another person had come into view, Meshawn, was nowhere to be found, but rather, another Ruby Rose, but with a green affiliate.

"Wha-! Uh! How?! Who are you?! Where's Meshawn?"

"You just have to wait; I don't feel like telling you."

A/N: This is my first time,writing a RWBY fanfiction, and probably my 10th story overall, during my 2-year career as a fanfiction author, ha. I gotta say I binge watched all 3 volumes, and just watch the latest 2 episodes of volume 4, I was impressed, by the concepts Rooster Teeth, has presented. I did like all the characters, their backstory, and the all the content in general (The game; Grimm Eclipse, however needs some work). Why did I decide to write this? I liked the idea, of Semblances, and Dust. I thought, my semblance, would be bone marrow, something like Kimimaro, from Naruto. But, with the utilization of Dust, I could do much more, I don't feel like Rooster Teeth exactly, explained any use of Dust. So, I decided to go crazy with this, I hope I didn't make my OC, too powerful. Leave a review, if you will, I'm curious as to how I hold up as a writer, in general, as in, do you think this story was good? What should I improve on? What do you hate? Thanks, in advance. I'll see you on the other side!
