(Welcome to the remake of Silent Moon's first chapter, this story is entitled after Sunflower. A ship name I came up for Ruby x Naruto. Currently rated T, but like its previous iteration, the rating can change. Also, I want to play a game. For each time you see a reference to other anime, namely Jojo Bizarre Adventure, please put in your review "You thought this was a Review, but it was username" or something pertaining to the referenced anime/story.

That's all guys, and this opening message will be one of the very few of the story. Screaming Sun and Primrose are next to be updated.

I'm running behind on schedule.)

The sound of music played in the mind of a teen with blonde hair. The area around him was full of motion. Pushing past the crowd of his fellow students, the teen was bopping his head to the music. Nothing like a little bit of Blue Swede to start the morning off.

Sliding to the music a little, the teen simply had a smile on his face as he moved his hips about. He left his hometown to start a new life. His mind drifted with the music. In this town, a train would be leaving for Vale, a country that was North-East and his homeland.

He longed to go to Patch since he started training in Vacuo. He wanted to go back home, hopefully, to see a few people that expected him back.

His orange T-shirt was slightly wet with sweat from the hot sun of the desert. Yawning as the teen scratched his whisker marks, he made his way toward the train station. Listening to people around him with long fox ears on top of his head.

He was Faunus, a being with animal traits. They came in all shapes and sizes as Humans did. However, they could also see in the dark, and sometimes their traits could be useful. Some could breathe underwater, some could fly, and others probably could spit poison. The teen was a Fox Faunus, it wasn't too hard to tell, the ears gave it away.

Though some people confused him for a Cat Faunus or a Wolf Faunus. It would be hilarious if he could tell them differently, but then again. That required one very important thing, something he lacked since birth.

The teen accidentally bumped into someone, the person turned to him, "watch it!"

The young man raised his hands, smiling sheepishly before rubbing the back of his head. He watched as the man grumbled as they boarded the train. The teen placed his scroll over a scanner, it shined with a green check mark, he smiled. Walking into the train's passenger cabins, the teen took to looking for the dining car.

His eyes fell upon the car door, he quickly walked over to it. Only then did he feel his scroll buzz, the blonde furrowed his eyes before taking his scroll out of his pocket. He looked at it, it was a caller wanting a video chat.

She had long red hair, vibrant blue eyes, and was holding a little girl on top of her while standing by a man that looked like himself. He smiled, opening the line, and saw that a little girl was standing there with a scroll in her hands.

"Big brother, big brother, mommy had me call you!" The girl excitedly said with a smile. "Big brother, mommy is making Miso Ramen, are coming home yet?!"

"Kihana, give mommy the scroll." He heard a woman spoke over her daughter.

The woman smiles as she grabbed the scroll from her daughter, she looked at the phone. The teen's smile lightened as he saw someone he couldn't wait to see, looking over her shoulder to see a big pot of Miso Ramen on the stove. She took notice of this, giggling. Her own fox ears danced in excitement with his own.

The sudden jerk of the train made him stumble a little bit. She looked concerned for a moment as she saw her son spin around someone. He looked at her, quickly gesturing with his free hand, making sure she understood.

She smiles, "Okay Naruto, but how was Shadow Academy?"

Naruto, the teen, smiled proudly and reached behind him. Her eyes widened before she started cheering when he held up his graduation documents from Shadow Academy. The proud mother called over to someone, that someone was obviously Naruto's father.

"Minato, our son graduated his Huntsmen Prep Academy!" She cheerfully stated while pointing the scroll over toward him.

The man smiled brightly, coughing a little bit, "Good job son, I'm proud of you."

Naruto simply smiled, mouthing to his father, 'I love you.'

The man smiled at him, even though they were nowhere near each other, they felt the connection. The blonde-haired man drank his coffee while signing to his son with one hand. It was simply signed, with Naruto moving his head side to side a little on some.

He watched as his father stopped for a moment to finish off his coffee. He then chuckled, watching his father catch his little sister as she jumped into his arms. His mother stood over by his father, showing him how happy they were he was coming home a little early.

Today was October Eighth, and he was expected home by October Tenth. Hopefully, when he got home, he'd beat his mother to mail. He wanted to surprise her with something, and hopefully, get the best birthday gift he could imagine as well.

His invitation.

The teen had been sending letter after letter since being in Shadow Academy. Due to his disability, most academies didn't touch him. Atlas Prep denied him on the grounds of not being a good fit, Faunus. Sanctum didn't want to take the responsibility of a handicapped student, disability. Signal Academy, the one he thought would take him, decided to point him toward Shadow Academy.

That was three years ago, and he managed to graduate early.

His father whistled to catch his attention, Naruto looked at him. The man began to smile before nudging his head toward his mother. Slowly, Minato held up both hands, signing to his son. The teen's eyes widened a little bit.

Smiling brightly, he rubbed the back of his head. Showing his large canines, his mirth. He couldn't wait to get home now!

The father then sighs with a smile on his face, "Well son, I'll see you in a couple of days…love you."

'Love you too,' Naruto signed with a bright smile on his face with one hand. 'Tell Kihana that I got her a surprise!'

"Big Brother has got me a surprise, what is it what is it?!" The girl soundly yelled, making Naruto bewildered and then his mom just chuckled.

She smiled at her firstborn, "We have been teaching sign language since you left."

Kihana smiles brightly, showing her large canines as well. Her yellow foxtail had a little pink ribbon in it as her long yellow hair bounced up and down. His mother's tail wrapped around her daughter, while his father's fox ears twitched a little bit. He smiled and then waved at Naruto.

Naruto waved back before the feed cuts out. They were crossing into the mountains where there was a very small signal. The blonde took a deep breath, thinking of his little sister. She was going to turn seven next month.

The teen took to his original task at hand, procuring some food!

Walking into the dining car Naruto making sure that he was in anyone's way. He made his way toward the barstool at the dining area. He took a sit, tapping the small table. A woman walked over toward, she had a small menu in her hand and handed it to him.

the young man looked at it, his mouth watered on the chicken sandwiches. Slowly he got out a notepad just in case she didn't sign, writing down what he wanted. The woman got done serving others at the end of the bar before coming over to him. She looked at him, confused as to why he had a piece of notepad paper on her menu.

She then watches him make an X over his throat, indication that he couldn't talk. Nodding, the woman grabs the menu and begins to grab the few chicken patties to make his sandwiches with. None of the food was going to be freshly made, it was hard to procure such luxury on a train unless you took The Aroura Borealis.

The back of the diner car had some tables. Naruto got his sandwiches before walking over toward them. Taking a seat at the table, the teen ended up sitting down in front of a girl with alabaster hair. The girl was humming a tune while listening to her headphones, she had her eyes closed before she kicked out with one of her legs.

Her eyes shot open when she accidentally kicked Naruto's shin, causing the teen to wince. The girl looked embarrassed, flabbergasted as to why she didn't hear him sit down.

"Oh God, I'm so-so-so sorry," she apologized frantically.

Naruto waved her off, smiling, the blonde watched as several people walked toward the back of the train. The girl, moving her ahoge of her pixie cut out the way of her view looked at the blonde. She watched as he scrolled through his scroll.

"So, um, my name is Amira Mirabella." She introduced herself, she watched as Naruto held up one finger.

He pulled out his headphones, unplugging them before stuffing them into his back pocket before pulling a stylus out of the side of his scroll. The girl watches him bring up a notebook app, writing something down. She skimmed over, her eyes widened as she did.

'Sorry, I am mute, do you know how to sign?'

"Sorry," she shook her head, rubbing the back of it nervously. "I don't know how to sign, but what's your name since you got that notebook thing."

The blonde seemed to chuckle, quickly he erased what he wrote before writing his name. Drawing a small little design of a narutomaki by it. She giggled, watching erase what he wrote and drew before writing something else.

'What brings you aboard this lovely bucket of bolts?'

"I'm heading to Vale, I got an acceptance letter to Beacon Aca-De-My." She cheerfully sounded out her success, "And I'm gonna kick so much ass."

Rolling his eyes, Naruto wrote his reply, 'I'm going to Beacon.'

"Nah uh, no way, really?! That's totally rad, I can't wait to get there. I heard Vale has awesome nightclubs, and that it's a city as tall as a mountain." Amira was daydreaming about the city as she spoke, "I mean, can you imagine it, buildings as tall as mountains?!"

'I'm from there, Patch.' Naruto wrote.

"Ooh, what it's like?" Amira inquired as she looked at the blonde, "Is it like Mistral?"

'No, Mistral is okay, but I'm homesick…I miss some of the noodles stands there.' Naruto replied as he looked at his sandwiches, scooting one over toward her.

She giggled, taking a bite of the sandwich. Naruto wasted no time in joining, taking a bite of his own sandwich the boy grimaced slightly at the tough innards of the meat. The chicken wasn't meant to be rubbery, but it would suffice.

All was going well until the train came to sudden jerk. The force was strong enough to throw Naruto from his seat, landing in the aisleway. Getting up, dusting the food crumbs off, Naruto saw what made the train stop. Outside of the train, he could see nearly a dozen bandits, all of them holding a weapon.

"Jeez, what the hell?" Amira complained as she rubbed her forehead, she had smacked it against the table when the train had jerked to a stop.

Getting up from her seat, she saw what was going down outside. "Ooh, well that's not good."

Rolling his eyes, Naruto watched as the head bandit got into the car they occupied. He saw the man smirk, firing a couple of shots into the roof with his revolvers. Walking toward Naruto, the man stopped when he heard some commotion.

Naruto looked over his shoulder, seeing Amira in a panic. "Crap, where are you guys…please tell me Vacuo didn't screw the pooch on my weapons pass!"

The girl stopped when she heard the cocking of a pistol. She looked up, seeing the bandit had a gun trained on her with a smile on his face. The bandit laughed, motioning his gun for her to stand up. Groaning, the alabaster girl stood up, holding her hand up.

Violet eyes widened in fear when the man looked at her, "a Huntswoman?"

"N-no, I'm just in training…hehe…" Amira panicked slightly, "Um, I don't really have any money on me."

Naruto slowly reached, touching the lower back of the man. The man failed to notice it as a bright seal glowed in a swirl pattern on his clothing. The man made a move to grab the girl, only for Naruto to push on his shoulder to turn him around. He growled at the Faunus, looking him dead in the eye.

"You gotta death wish?" The Bandit Leader raised his gun up to Naruto's head, only for the blonde to flick him off. "You little…"

The man was about to shoot Naruto, only for the teen disappear in a golden flash and appear behind him. Naruto crashed his fist into the kidney of the man, stunning and making him fire off a round into the other unsuspecting bandit. The teen punched the man several times in the back, his punches crashing through the man's aura and breaking it. Using aura, Naruto charged another punch and sent the man flying through the car and out of the nearby doors.

Standing there, Naruto noticed a gym bag underneath with an emblem of a flaming skull on it. Amira looked to where Naruto was looking, and then quickly got up and got the bag.

"Friggin' idiot me," Amira chided herself as he pulled the bag out. "Sol and Luna, you better be in there, guys."

Unzipping the bag, the petite alabaster-haired girl pulled out two pistols. Each was of a large caliber; she checked their ammo. She gave a sigh of relief as their magazines were still full, each holding twelve rounds of pure carnage. The gun that was yellow, had red tipped rounds, filled with burn dust. The other, a white pistol, had ammo with a green tip. Naruto watched as she cocked the hammer back on her guns, looking at him.

That's when several bandits broke into the car, each brandishing a melee weapon, with one holding an assault rifle. Naruto backed up, placing his hand on Amira's shoulder in order to mark her before reaching down and grabbing a small three-pronged knife.

Amira smirked, speaking with joy, "This party is gettin' crazy!"

She pointed both of her pistols at the nearest bandit, "Let's Rock!"

Firing both of her pistols at the same time, Naruto charged the bandit with the assault rifle, ducking in and out of nearby booths as bullets flew. Amira smirked as her bullets hit their mark, catching a group of bandits entering the car doors before the dust reacted. The concussive force knocked them out of the train, allowing her to close the distance to the door and exit the train.

Once Naruto saw she had exited the train, the blonde disappeared in a yellow flash, appearing right behind her on top of it. They saw that an improvised barricade had stopped the train, more than likely it could've punched through it, but there was a chance it would've gotten derailed. A very grim prospect considering Grimm roamed The Great Desert of Vacuo.

"Well," Amira looked at the bandits as they climbed the train. "Got any ideas there, Foxy?"

Naruto reached under his jacket, pulling another tri-bladed knife out, marking them. A very large bandit got up on his side of the train, he wielded a mace, wearing very heavy armor. He looked at Naruto, laughing as he crossed his thumb over his neck.

The blonde rolls his eyes, 'Switch.'

Naruto suddenly moves in front of Amira, nudging his head toward the large man behind her. She turns around, smirking as she trains her pistols on the armored giant. The two teens faced down the men and women, Naruto charged his dust encrusted bracelets before applying wind to his knives. Amira cocked her the hammers of her guns, smirking.

"Kill'em!" The large armored man screamed.

No sooner than the words left the man's mouth Naruto sprang into action, throwing both kunai. The wind dust energy around sent them flying faster than the bandits in front of him could track. Appearing in a yellow flash in the middle of them, Naruto blasted two away as he thrusts his palms outward. Blasts of wind sending them flying back, spinning on his heels, Naruto blocked and caught a sword with one of his tri-bladed knives before deflecting the blow.

Sweeping the bandit of his feet with a low kick, Naruto punched the man while he was midair. It sent the bandit flying toward the large man, who was currently trying to hit Amira. The small girl seemingly danced around him, firing rounds into the armor plating, but was getting frustrated as they bounced off. She watched as the man that got sent away by Naruto smacked into him, making him stumble.

Somersaulting over his head, Amira spun above him as she unloaded the rest of her magazines into the man's head armor. Their concussive blasts from their combined dust reacting made the armored man stumble about, but still, his armor didn't break!

"Oh c'mon, what the hell are you even wearing?!" Amira complained as she reloaded her gun, dodging by jumping back as the man slammed his mace down.

The man chuckled, "Armor made from depleted uranium, like diamond…it is unbreakable."

"Crap…" She winced as she fired round after, at him, he was stumbling back.

Naruto dodged several gunshots, one bullet barely grazing his arm, bouncing off his aura. The Fox Faunus somersaulted over the gunwoman, angling himself to send an ax kick into her arm. Using his speed and flexibility, Naruto landed on his hands before turning on them and sweeping her into the air. She screamed as the blonde threw a kunai that barely missed her face but failed to notice the smirk on his face.

Teleporting behind her in a yellow flash, Naruto kicked down into the metal roofing the train. She bounced up, her aura breaking before Naruto punted her off the train. Several shots rang out as Naruto saw bullets landing all around him. Using his kunai, Naruto blocked the bullets before noticing that they were coming from bandits from a considerable distance away.

He heard Amira yelp, watching as she landed next to him. The blonde looked at her, she got up, training her gun at the giant man in armor. Naruto looked at her, nudging his head toward the gunmen in the distance. Amira looked at him and then smirked as she switched with him.

"I'll take care of those in the distance," Amira fired several shots at them, forcing them to scatter behind a sand dune. "Can you handle the big guy?"

Naruto smirked, nodding, he walked forward before jumping across the cars to land on the roof in front of the large man.

"She gave up against me, little boy, what makes yo-ack?!" The armored man was socked in the face when Naruto leaped up and punched him in his face.

The man stumbled back as Naruto pressed his advantage, sliding down before scissor kicking him, tripping him. The man slammed with a thud into the train, dropping his mace over the side. Getting up, slamming his hand into the roof of the train, the man roared as he stood up. Naruto readied himself, watching as the man roared.

"You little piece of shit," The man screamed, "Die!"

Naruto barely blocked the first punch before being hit by the other punch and knocked off the train. Landing on the sand, Naruto watched as the man dropped down, grabbing his mace. Pointing his mace at Naruto, the man gripped it with both hands before charging forward. Naruto dodged out of the way, barely, before appearing behind the man and slamming a kick into the back of his head.

The armored giant stumbled forward a little bit, "You may be fast, but if you cannot hurt me what's the point!"

Landing on the sands, Naruto's bracelets roared to life, screeching as he poured aura into the dust crystals. Blasting forward with the wind, Naruto punched the man in the face, using the dust crystals that had wind swirling around his hands to dent the armor. When he saw the dent, Naruto smirked before blocking the mace and allowing himself to get sent back into the train.

Crashing through a window, the blonde angled himself to cage a booth seat. The chair spun around as he used his momentum to pivot it and send himself back out the same window. Running as he hit the ground, Naruto saw the dent was on the man's left chest piece.

Not thinking about the risks, Naruto ran head first into the danger. His orange aura flaring to life as he felt the energy of the gale dust crystals deplete. The man laughed, slamming his mace into the sand, it flowed as the earth began to rise. Using the earth, Naruto began to jump up and use the pieces of rising earth as stepping stones.

Spinning in the air, increasing momentum, Naruto delivered an aura enhanced ax kick into the man's helmet. The helmet was knocked off, revealing the face a scarred-up man, with a blind left eye. He grabbed Naruto, slinging him, and smashing into the ground. He lifted the blonde up, smirking, but then looked up at the roof of the train.

Amira stood there, "Bang."

"Oh, for fuc-," The man's head was hit with a bullet, his aura blocked most of the damage.

Blood dripped onto the ground from a gash that opened, he dropped Naruto. The blonde jumped back, smirking, he looked up at Amira and gave her a thumbs up. She smirked, dropping down next to him, holstering her guns on her belt. The girl wiped the bridge of her nose, watching as the large armored man stopped cursing into the air.

With blood dripping down his face, he glared at her, "You little bitch!"

"Damn right I am," Amira winked as she mocked him. "However, let's be real. Big, tall, overly armored…pfft, cliché walking!"

"You…," The man growled, "I will not stand for this!"

"Please," Amira rolled her eyes, "We'd prefer if you sat your fat ass down."

Naruto got one of his tri-bladed kunai out, tossing it into the air before catching it to where he reversed the grip. The man saw red, charging, roaring as he ran head first at them. The blonde threw the kunai, grabbing Amira's hand before teleporting in a mix of yellow and violet. Appearing behind the man, both teens kicked the man in the back of the head.

His eyes rolled back, stumbling forward a little bit more, the man fell forward.

"Alright!" Amira dusted her hands off, "That's another one that bites the dust."

A few hours had gone by since the fight, Vacuo finally had sent a couple of Bullheads sent out. The bandits that were alive were loaded onto the aircraft, while some of the injured passengers were loaded onto the other one. The blonde saw where a guard had been killed during the initial boarding, frowning as his body was loaded onto the Bullhead taking passengers to the hospital.

'This is why I am becoming a Huntsman, so this doesn't happen again…' Naruto thought to himself as he looked around, 'Too much destruction.'

"Hey, Naruto, you okay buddy?" Amira handed him bottled water; he was standing watch just in case Grimm showed up.

The blonde nodded, taking the water before drinking the contents greedily. He was thirsty, the hot Vacuoian sun was a little much, his fox ears were laid back. He quickly finished the bottle of water, watching as several birds flew overhead.

"So," Amira looked at him, "I have to say earlier was awesome. You fight like a badass, and I respect the hell out of that."

Naruto smirked, nudging his head side to side.

"No seriously, you're probably better than some teachers I know. Anyway, they're clearing the blockade, the train will be moving in a few minutes. Hopefully, we don't get any more delays, because Vale City is still a day's ride out." Amira told him as they started walking back toward the train, she entered first after he held the door open.

As they sat down, Naruto yawned. Watching as some people replaced the broken window in one of the passenger cars, outside of his own window. The teen looked around the train, noting some bullet holes that would have to be fixed later, but it wasn't going to be his problem.

"So," Amira attempted to strike up a conversation, "what was that semblance of yours called?"

Naruto smiled, getting his scroll out, he used the stylist to write it down.

"Flying Thunder God, my father has the same semblance, different seal pattern to initiate it." He wrote down, watching as she read it.

"Wow, that's awesome! Well, honestly, I'm a little beat…" She stretched, yawning loudly.

Naruto nodded in agreement, they got up.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow Foxy," Amira waved at him as she walked toward cars that held some private rooms for sleeping.

Naruto was intent on moving toward the back of the train, it was less noisy back there.
