Chapter 1-Out in the Field

Ren walked down the halls, wondering where Nora went, he had asked the rest of the team, but they where no help. He sighed and rounded the corner, seeing his friend smiling like always; she skipped down the halls humming. She skipped up to Ren and stopped in front of him, smiling brightly as she swayed "THERE YOU ARE!" She called to him. Ren nodded, smiling wide, she was the same as ever. "Where did you run off to?" Ren inquired. She mumbled some story about running into a pack of wild animals. Down the hall, she saw her other team mates. Ren nodded and turned when he heard Jaune and Phyrra walking towards them. "Hey guys!" Jaune called waving his hand in the air. "You guys ready for today's lesion?" Phyrra asked with a smile "I guess. Listening to Professor Port's hunting stories does get pretty tiresome though." Ren sighed, wanting to get out in the field again. "Didn't you hear?" Jaune said with wide eyes. "Hear what?" "We're going out!" Nora exclaimed.

Ren smiled and contained his excitement as usual. "I was going to tell you, but you ran off too quickly" Jaune exclaimed. Nora jumped around smiling. "WE ACTUALY GET TO FIGHT! HIIIYA!" She swung her arms around and stood in a crane pose. "Let's go then, I'm sure Professor Ozpin doesn't want us late." Ren started calmly walking towards the airfield.

Once they arrived, Nora jumped around giddy "aren't you excited Ren?" "Yes, I am." Ren smiled and sat down in the carrier as it began to take off. She placed a hand over his and giggled "You don't show it." Ren blushed slightly and looked off, "No, I guess I don't." Team RWBY could be heard behind them, Weiss getting mad at Ruby as usual. Nora looked at them and then back to Ren "I'm actually a little scared." She said playing with her hands anxiously. "It will be ok, I'll be with you the entire time" Ren smiled, comforting his oldest friend. Nora didn't usually get scared. And if she did she didn't show it. But she was comfortable around Ren. "Promise?" "Promise" He nodded.

"All right, listen up, we are clearing out an area of Grimms today, it's not a large assignment, but a complicated one. You will be separated into twos, dropped, and must reunite with the rest of your team. You then must clean any Grimm in the area, before setting up camp for the night; we will be observing your efforts." Ozpin stood and informed the group. Nora looked at Ren and smiled "You ready?" He nodded, glad Ozpin put them together. Phyrra and Jaune jumped, leaving only him and Nora to leave the carrier. She grabbed Ren's hand and looked down "Let's go!" She led him off the edge, and they jumped, Ren drew his weapons and fell silently, hearing Nora yell in excitement next to him, he smiled, glad to have her with him.

Once they landed, Nora looked around. Her excitement quickly faded as she looked at the foggy area around her. She could barely see a thing Ren frowned; it would be quite difficult to find the rest of their team before sundown. "Let's start walking; they shouldn't be too far away." Nora moved closer to Ren and clung to his back "Where did the sun go?" "The fog is very thick, it disappeared when we entered the forest, and the thick canopy doesn't help either." He looked around, gauging how far he could see.

Nora heard a scream in the distance and armed herself "where did that come from?"

Ren looked in the direction it came from "Over there, let's go, but stay close" he started to run.

Nora was about to follow after when a Grimm appeared between the two of them

The large bear like beast jumped between them and growled. Ren turned and saw the large Grimm look towards his friend. "Nora, watch out." He leapt at the beasts back. The beast growled and swung at Nora, sending her flying into a tree. Ren dug his blades into the Grimms back, and fired into its neck. The Grimm fell to the ground. Nora coughed as she tried to stand, but fell again "Nora!" Ren leapt off the Grimm and landed next to her softly "Are you ok?" He knelt down next to her. She held her leg in pain "yeah..." "Let me see" He reached for her leg, his pink eyes filled with concern. She removed her hand revealing a large gash.

"You're really hurt, we need to clean this up before more Grimm show up" He grabbed the bag he was wearing and pulled out a medical kit. Nora looked at him "Ren I'm okay..." "Let me bandage it, we need to find Phyrra and Jaune, before nightfall" He looked at her with concern. She stopped him "Ren." "What is it?" He stopped and looked at her blue eyes. "Just leave me here okay." "No. Ozpin said we needed to meet 'as a team' we aren't a team without our heavy hitter" She blushed and looked away "Ren just." "No, I promised in be right next to you the entire time" He stared at her blankly. She pulled him into a fearful hug. He was shocked, before he hugged back, hoping to make her feel safe. "I'm not going anywhere"

She pulled away and nodded, before letting him bandage her leg. He finished her leg and stood, holding his hand out to her, after putting the backpack on. "C'mon, let's find the others" he smiled through his black hair. She took his hand and smiled "okay..." He pulled her to her feet and picked up her hammer handing it to her. She limped forward a bit "thanks." He helped support her as they walked through the forest, towards where they heard the scream sometime ago.

Weiss and Ruby were running from a large Grimm when ruby accidentally ran into an injured Nora They fell to the ground together, "Nora!" Ren turned to help the two up.

Nora held onto Ren and looked at Ruby. Ruby looked at Nora's injured leg "what happened?" "A Grimm, have you seen Jaune or Phyrra?" Ren helped his friend to her feet. "We just saw them a couple minutes ago. They were headed south." "GUYS!" Weiss called dodging the Grimm she was still fighting. "Thanks, need any help?" Ren looked at Weiss struggling with the beast. "We got this." Ruby said, going back to help Weiss Ren nodded watching Ruby join in and start to have more luck with the Grimm. "Let's go, it's getting darker." He looked at Nora.

Nora smiled weakly and tried to keep up with Ren. He stopped and turned waiting for his friend to catch up. "Need help?" She nodded "Here, take this" he took of the bag and held it up to her. He turned and motioned for her to get on his back. She jumped on and held onto him tightly He began to run south, hoping to run into their team soon. Jaune and Phyrra soon found them "Nora! Ren!" Ren slowed down and slid to a stop, letting Nora get off his back before standing again and supporting her. "Nora! What happened?" Phyrra asked worried "It was a Grimm, it took us by surprise" Ren leaned against a tree and slid down into a sitting position.

Without thinking, Nora fell next to Ren and put her head in his lap. He looked down at her then up at Jaune and Phyrra. "Shall we set up camp? Looks like she needs some rest" Jaune nodded and started making a fire, while Phyrra started on a shelter. Nora closed her eyes and nuzzled into Ren. He sighed and stroked her hair, exhausted from the day. Once there was a fire and shelter, Phyrra looked at Nora and Ren "You two okay?" "Yeah, we will be fine" he smiled. Jaune raised his hands in victory finally creating a flame after a long time trying. Nora sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at the fire and crawled over to it, putting her hands over in an attempt to warm them up. Ren followed and sat next to her, glad she was all right, Phyrra and Jaune sat at the other end of the fire. "So you two didn't have any issues?" Ren asked

Phyrra shook her head no "we fought off a couple Grimm but nothing big."

"Glad to hear, we only encountered a large bear Grimm. And one Ruby and Weiss where fighting." He smiled.

Nora was silent, which was unusual. She rubbed her hands together and looked up at sky. "You doing ok?" Ren looked over with concern. She nodded and moved closer to him. He looked at her and smiled. Jaune looked at Ren and wiggled his eyebrows

Ren stared back, confused. Nora put her head on Ren's shoulder. Jaune looked at Phyrra and they both nodded "We'll! I'm exhausted!" Jaune said with a fake yawn

Phyrra nodded "Yes, I too would enjoy some sleep" they got up and left to their separate shelters. Nora kept her head on Ren's shoulder.

"You should get some sleep, rest your leg" Ren patted her cheek. She shook her head no "I'm not tired" she said with a yawn. He looked at her skeptically. "Will you tell me a story?" "Uh, I don't really know many good stories" he said surprised. She smiled and looked at him "I'll help you. We can make one up." "Ok, you start" he nodded. "Once upon a time... There was a girl and a boy." "Who lived in a world full of despair and fear...?" Ren nodded. Nora smiled brightly "the girl was always happy and Giddy" "And the boy was quiet and calm" "But the girl wasn't always happy." He looked at her, his eyes widening in surprise and concern. She looked at him "it's your turn." "The boy didn't share his feelings with anyone; he remained silent, not wanting to burden anyone." "One day. The girl met the boy." "They ran into each other on the street, both carrying applications to the best school in the kingdom" Nora looked down "they became good friends." "Created weapons and sent in their applications together and where accepted to both their excitement." She blushed slightly "She kept up her giddy act." "And he stayed calm and quiet, enjoying her company immensely, but never fully showing it" She looked down "She started to..." He looked at her to finish her sentence, wondering what she is going to say. "She started to like the boy. A lot." "The boy started to like her, a lot, as well, not knowing she felt the same, but he cared about her the most" She looked up at him and blushed dark "She thought that he thought she was annoying." Ren blushed almost as dark, "He thought she thought he was too closed and silent." Nora looked into his eyes; she didn't know what else to say.

Ren sighed then grabbed her cheeks and kissed her passionately. She was shocked, her eyes widened as he kissed her He let her go and pulled back. "Sorry." He looked away and blushed dark. She smiled brightly and tackled him to the ground, kissing him passionately. His arms flailed as she took him by surprise, but he kissed back with no issue. She pulled away smiling He smiled back, still blushing. Phyrra squealed front her shelter. Ren looked over startled. "Wha-!" "I KNEW IT!" Phyrra yelled. They could hear Jaune jump awake from his girly cry, due to Phyrra's yelling. Ren looked over eyes wide with surprise, lying on the ground with Nora sitting on top of him. Nora quickly got off Ren and blushed. Ren sat up and blushed equally, scratching the back of his head. "Wh-what's going on?!" Jaune stumbled out of his shelter in pajamas, his sword drawn in front of him. Nora shrugged "Go to sleep." "Oh, ok" Jaune walked back into his shelter and flopped back on his bed. Phyrra stayed outside her tent, smirking. Phyrra looked between them and rolled her eyes "You two are cute." Ren blushed, not sure what to say. She walked back to her shelter. Ren sighed as Phyrra went back into her shelter, glad she was gone. Nora looked at Ren and blushed "Ren I..." Ren looked back; his cheeks still a deep red. "I love you." She whispered "I-I love you too" Ren whispered back.
