A/N: Finally I emerge from my cave and actually decided to write something that's not trolling with the readers.Not to say that I've stopped writing those. Those stories are well underway and are schedule.
Now, I'm trying something new on how to tell this story. It's not perfect, but it will get better in time so I'd appreciate it if you guys can give your thoughts on it.
Excuse me for rambling. Let us proceed.
Weiss considered herself a very fortunate girl.
For someone like her, who had a large title on her name, she had been able to make a decent amount of friends in such a short time span.
There was Ruby Rose, their team leader and her partner. The girl was like a prodigy in the battlefield. Her ability and knowledge with weapons such as scythes and rifles were unparalleled. However, her weakness lied in her inability to make friends.
Next up was the blonde brawler and sister of their leader, Yang. Unlike her sister, Yang was a complete opposite of Ruby. She got along quite well with other people with a habit of occasionally throwing bad puns every now and then. Yang was also an expert on close quarters combat, evident enough with the numerous times she had thrashed the night club at Vale. She, like all others, had a weakness which was her nature of rushing into a fight without a plan.
The last member of their team was Blake. At first, Weiss saw her as none other than a normal and quiet student with the goal of becoming a huntsman.
How wrong was she on that.
A few weeks ago, she had an argument with the girl that led to the revelation of her past allegiance with the White Fang. After that, Blake had ran away with the intention of quitting the academy. With some much needed effort and a dust robbery that occurred just at the same time, they were able to patch things up and come to an agreement.
Of course, that didn't stop Weiss from wanting to know more about Blake. Why was she so different from what her father had drilled into her.
Faunus were disgusting, worthless piles of trash. That was what her father had told her, yet she found none of those from their faunus teammate. She was still like them, a normal human with the same morals and goals. Maybe slightly misunderstood was what she would call it.
Her eyes settled on Blake, who was reading a book as usual. Eyes moving left and right in a quick pace. She didn't look any different from the Blake she had thought of as human. Well, besides from her tendencies to eat more fish related foods every once in a while.
"Weiss?" The words were enough to put a halt to her train of thought.
She mentally cursed herself for not hearing anymore than her name. She turned towards the speaker, it was Yang.
"What?" She asked of her.
Yang looked amused, if her grin and snickering was anything to make out. "Oh, nothing," She whistled disbelievingly.
"It's just that you were staring at Blake." She finished with an audible laugh. One that left was irritated at the blonde.
Had she been really eyeing Blake? A quick glance towards their other companions showed that they had already finished their food while she had barely touched hers.
A defeated sigh left her lips as she stood up and grabbed her tray, disposing of it and rejoining her team.
"Weiss and Blake sitting on a tree," Yang whooped. " K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
Weiss felt a vein pop on her nerves. She wanted to reach out and strangle the blonde, but she buried that thought for now. No need to feed more fire to Yang if you didn't want rumors to start spreading.
And besides, Blake had done the honor of doing it herself by bashing Yang's head with her book, and judging from the cries of pain that came from the blonde herself meant that the book was a heavy one indeed.
The sight must've been more appealing than she imagined as everyone had joined in on the laughter. She herself was among them.
A few minutes lasted as the laughter subsided and everybody was back to their agendas. Not without smiles on their faces of course.
It was the little things in life that she enjoyed.
The rest of the day went by without any incidents.
They had separated into varying groups to spend the weekend. Ruby had went with Nora to Vale to explore. Ren and Jaune tagged along to keep them away from trouble, especially Nora. Oum knows last time Nora was left alone had resulted into the cafeteria losing half of its pancake supply.
Yang and Pyrrha had also gone to Vale to indulge in their relaxation time. With Pyrrha's consistent lack of sleep due to training Jaune at night and Yang's job of keeping a watchful eye on her sister clearly meant they deserve a day off from such activities.
Weiss herself had decided to accompany Blake to the library. After all, she needed to study her lessons and do some advance readings.
Her feline companion has already wandered off to do her own activities. Whether that was to read a book or do some research on the White Fang like she always does.
Her hands skimmed along the neatly shelved books. If her assumption was correct, she needed a book with a label of 'Advance Grimm Knowledge' for professor Port's next lesson.
Part of her wondered if the teacher really had intentions of teaching them. And no, she did not consider his unbelievable stories as any form of lesson. None of them did.
Dust magazines, X-ray and valve, Secret Pleasure. Weiss clicked her lips, an audible sigh escaping her form as the book she require had not turned up. Someone had probably checked the book out.
That was unfortunate. She really needed something to do.
Weiss sighed to herself, her hands still grazing the covers of various books.
Might as well get something to read. She noted as she focused her attention to the books in front.
"'Third crusade'," She shook her head. She wasn't interested in history books. Maybe something new to her would be good at a time like this.
Something caught her attention. Just barely visible in the corner of her eye. It was concealed behind a pair of thick, large books. She pushed aside the obstructing books, reaching out, she pulled on the book, eventually pulling it out of its location.
The book was fairly small, seeing that it didn't weigh that much and could be held in one hand. It was also covered in dust, granted that it must've been left untouched for years. Weiss dusted the book, coughing slightly as the dust reached her nose.
She looked at the book now on her hands. Again, it was small and light. However, the title was something that piqued her interest.
'Once Upon A Time' She read in her mind.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she flipped the book open and began reading.
After an hour of reading the book, Weiss was intrigued even more by the characters — even more about how the story started.
The story was about four students aspiring to be huntsman/huntresses themselves. The school that was depicted in the story was Beacon academy itself.
Maybe that's why the book had been left to rot on it's own?
Anyways, back to the story.
There were four characters depicted in the story.
The first, a young woman with black hair with red tips on the edges that reached just past her shoulders. She was the embodiment of a positiveness itself with her kind personality. She was also a bit of a klutz what with only having tripped once or twice in the first chapter.
The second was also a young female. She had long black hair that was scattered in all directions. Unlike the first, she was always quiet, collective of herself, and never spoke too much other than subtle agreements. She was also the first's partner.
The third, a blond guy who all sunshine here and there. He was basically the most energetic member of the team — always initiating a conversation with his team members and making horrible puns that would've put Yang's own a run for her money.
The fourth was a guy with black spiky hair in a slick back manner. He was rude, blunt, cynical, and always looking for a fight with everyone. Weiss immediately pictured someone like him to be just a nuisance to his own team.
Weiss shut the book close. A peek to the clock hanging on the far corner showed that three hours had already passed instead of one.
How'd that happen? She asked to no one. With a sigh, she got up from her seat and prepared to leave with the book in tow.
She passed by Blake reading a book on her way out. She waved at her and Weiss waved in response before leaving.
A/N: Okay so that's chapter 1!
Like I said, I'm trying a new style of telling a story. It, apparently, is by telling a story with that story reading a story about someone.
The book will come up from time to time. It's a minor point in the story so I started off with a story like that. Don't worry it won't completely overshadow the main story, but you'll see what it's for. IN THE FUTURE!
A little interaction with the gang as a start. That's good and all cause it's good to have just interactions in stories.
Sooooooo...
Favorite if you love it!
Follow if you like it!
Review if you want to! (Or if you love me. lol xD)
See ya in chapter 2
