I don't own anything

"[Why does a cute girl like you sitting here alone?]"

Ruby Rose looked to her side to see a young boy sitting next to her. He wore a white jacket and black pants, and had messy, light gray hair. His eyes were blue and he was sporting a cute little grin. In his hand was a stuffed animal. But it was not like any normal stuffed animal she always saw. That thing was downright creepy. Stuffed animals were supposed to look cute, not like that. But maybe this was just his taste. She shouldn't judge people badly just because she can't make any friends. And DID HE JUST CALL HER CUTE?

"No… I…" She flushed. Cursed her social inept, and for some reason, cursed Yang as well. She bet he must think her weird right now.

"[Haha. You're pretty funny, aren't you?]" Or maybe not. "[So you don't have any friends too?]"

"Yes." She whispered. It's very embarrassed to admit that. But "too"? Did that mean…

"[Yes, I also don't have any friends.]" He answered before she could ask. "[For some reason, people always avoid me when I get close. Kids these days are so rude.]"

You were also a kid, you know? And that must be because of your toy. But even someone this friendly cannot make friends. Didn't he check out on her because he saw her sulking on the bench? He must be a very good person. Then…

"Would you like to be my friend?" She exclaimed. Oops, she might be too loud there. "[Sorry, it just-"

Suddenly, the boy burst into tears. Ruby cannot help but be taken aback.

"[Sorry for crying all of sudden.]" The boy said with a smile as he wiped off his tears. "[I was just happy. This is the first time that a girl wants to be my friend. Not that anyone would want to be my friend anyway.]"

Crying from such a simple thing. She felt sad for him. He must be very lonely. At least she had Yang, her dad and uncle Qrow. But he was all alone. That's it. She would be his friend and make him happy.

"I am Ruby Rose. What's your name?"

"[Misogi Kumagawa. Nice to meet you, Ruby.]"

"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me. This is the best day ever."

"Please… stop…."

"But I'm so proud of you!"

The pair of girls, sisters in fact, was Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose. Although they were sisters, their looks were a polar opposite.

"I just want to be normal…" The shorter sister muttered.

"Aren't you excited?"

"I am. It just I don't want people to think I'm special or anything." Ruby said downcast.

"But you are special." The blond said, wrapping her arm around her sister and giving a short squeeze.

"Thanks Yang." Ruby said, leaning slightly into the hug.

"It's what I'm here for sis!" Yang smiled at the way her sister was back to normal.

"Speaking of excited…" Ruby began. "Do you see Misogi, sis? He said he also attends to Beacon. But I don't see him anywhere."

The girl looked around looking for her said friend. After meeting him years ago, they were fast to become friend, if not best friend. Now she got moved ahead two years, although she didn't want people to think she was special or anything, she was happy that she could go to the same school with him, not have to wait two years.

"[Are you talking about me, or someone with the same name as myself? Although I don't think any parents would name their kid after me.]"

A familiar voice from behind made Ruby spun around to meet with a black-haired boy. "Misogi!" Ruby leaped forwards and hugged him. "You're here!"

"[Of course I am. I have never lied to you, haven't I.]" The boy returned the hug.

Anyone would smile at this heartwarming scene of a girl reuniting with her friend, but not Yang. She looked at the boy warily. Of all people, Ruby had to choose this guy to befriend with. There was nothing wrong with him, in fact, she thought he looked pretty cute. But there was something very wrong with this guy, she just knew it. Ruby may say she was overprotective but no. Even Uncle Qrow kept an eye on him when they studied back at Signal.

To be honest, she was glad that her sister was moved ahead. Not because she could go in the same year with her, but because Ruby could be away from this guy. But when she heard he was also going to Beacon, her heart fell. How can someone like him go to a famous hunter academy like Beacon? He was weak, pitiably so, and she wasn't exaggerated. His score was the lowest of the whole school. He lost every fight in the combat class. His aura was so low that she can disable all of it with a single punch. She can't believe he can even graduate, no less going to Beacon.

"[Hello. Earth to Yang.]" Yang snapped back when he brought her face close to hers. She almost punched him out of instinct.

"You okay, sis? You kind of spaced out there." Ruby asked worriedly.

"No, I'm okay. Good to see you again, Kumagawa." Yang punched his shoulder.

"[Good to see you too, Yang.]" Kumagawa greeted back. "[And could you hold back a bit? I think my shoulder is broken.]" Kumagawa groaned dramatically.

"Nice joke there. I know you are tougher than that."

No matter. If he hurt Ruby, she would kill him. It was simple as that.

If only she knew.

Ruby Rose thought this year would be amazing with the three of them going together.

Or not.

Before the younger sister even knew what was happening, Yang rushed past her with a gaggle of her friends. Ruby blinked and spun around, thrown off balance by the sudden departure of her sister. She couldn't believe Yang would ditch them like this. What a good sister she was!

"Wait! Where are you going?!" Ruby complained, her head spinning. "Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Do we even have dorms?"

Feeling her feet slipping, the teen almost fell to the ground. She would have, if Misogi hadn't caught her arm and yanked her to her feet.

"[You okay there, Ruby.]"

"I'm okay, thanks." Ruby replied. "I can't believe she just runs off like that."

"[Maybe she wants to stay as far away from me as possible.]"

"Of course not, she-"

"What is a kid like you doing here?"

The new female voice interrupted the conversation before Ruby could say anything. Both teens looked behind and saw another young girl standing behind them. Her face bore a haughty expression that had the other girl on edge. Ruby wasn't exactly one to like arrogant people. They tended to yell at her.

"[And who are you?]" Kumagawa asked, getting a betrayed look from his companion.

Flicking her ponytail behind her head, the other girl scoffed. "You don't know who I am?"

"[Nope.]"

"Umm… no…"

"She's Weiss Schnee." Another female voice spoke up.

Kumagawa seemed more amused than anything as he turned his head. Ruby, by contrast, felt her head spinning again. Not only Yang ditched her earlier, but now she was being swamped by other people. At least this girl looked nicer. And her bow was cute?

"Heiress of the Schnee Dust Corporation." The black-haired girl continued. "The largest producer of energy propellent in the world."

"Finally, some recognition!" Weiss said, a grin on her face.

"Also known for their horrible labor and questionable business practices."

Ruby couldn't quite keep a giggle from escaping her lips at the way Weiss sputtered when the other girl said that. In contrast to her, Kumagawa adorned a serious expression.

"[You shouldn't insult people like that, girl whose name I don't know. Maybe Miss Sneeze's family business is questionable, but-]"

"What did you just call me?" Weiss spoke with a heavy tone. She looked like a volcano about to erupt.

"[Umm… Miss Sneeze.]"

"My name is Weiss Schnee! SCHNEE you idiot!" Weiss shouted as she poked his chest. Everyone around her had to cover their ears. For a small girl, her lungs were very incredible.

"[Weiss Schnee. Got it.]" Kumagawa held both of his hands up in surrender with a scared expression. His smile didn't fade, however.

"You better." Weiss scoffed and stomped off with anger clear in her figure. This semester was off to a wonderful start…

"[I wonder if her voice is her Semblance.]" Kumagawa put a hand on his chin, clearly not affected by the event. As expect of her friend.

"Welcome to Beacon, eh?" Ruby replied, before she noticed that it was just her and her only friend again. "Why does everyone keep leaving?"

Kumagawa just shrugged. Ruby sighed. This day was not turned out how she expected it to be.

"Come on, let's go see-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the teen nearly ran into another teen. Vomit Boy, to be more precise.

"Hey." The blond said. "You two lost too?"

"Of course not! We know exactly where we're at!" Ruby replied.

"[We are?]" Kumagawa asked innocently while the blond raised his eyebrows. The redhead just stuck her tongue out.

"Well I say we explore a bit." The blond said. "Name's Jaune by the way."

"Ruby."

"[Misogi Kumagawa. And please call me by my last name. I don't want a dude to call me by my first name.]" Kumagawa stated without missing a beat.

Jaune blinked, not sure how he should reply to that while Ruby mouthed 'Sorry'.

Once the introductions were out the way, the little group started wandering the grounds. Ruby didn't know where she was supposed to go, and knowing Kumagawa, he didn't either. Maybe Jaune did, but she didn't really care. It was nice to just walk and talk with the other teen. Maybe Yang was right, she should meet people aside from Kumagawa. Of course Kumagawa was still her number one friend, no one can replace that.

"I'm saying, motion sickness is a lot more common than people think." The blond was saying.

"Sorry, Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby giggled.

"[But I think it is pretty cool to have an alias. Maybe people will call you Jaune the Vomit Boy when you become a huntsman.]" Kumagawa added.

"I'm not happy with that at all!" Jaune said, though there wasn't any real bite to his words.

"[And maybe it will evolve into Jaune the Vomit Man.]" Kumagawa continued.

Jaune didn't even bother replying to that. Ruby, deciding that she wanted to break the ice in a way she understood, moved ahead of them. She reached behind her back, a grin forming on her face.

"Sooo…" She said casually, before unfolding Cresent Rose. "I have this."

A squeak came from Jaune, who backed up quickly. "Is that a scythe?" Kumagawa still looked the same. That was understandable, she had shown it to him many times before.

"It's also a customizable, high-impact sniper rifle." Ruby replied with pride.

"A what?"

Ruby cocked her weapon. "It's also a gun."

"Oh…" Jaune nodded. "That's cool!"

Ruby smiled at the praise before looking at the other teen weapon. "What do you have?"

"I have this sword," The blond replied, drawing the aforementioned weapon. "and this shield too."

The sword and shield were fairly standard, actually. A normal old longsword, and an admittedly interesting shield/sheath combination. Nothing special in the end though.

"Oh…" Ruby mimicked the older teen. "Do they do anything?"

"The shield… contracts, so when I get tired of carrying it… I can just… put it away." Jaune explained.

Ruby blinked. "But wouldn't it weigh the same?"

"Uh… yeah…"

"[I like the sword.]" Kumagawa, for the first time, spoke up. "[I mean… using sword make you look pretty cool, right? I tried it before, but I accidentally cut my hand off, so…]" Kumagawa held his left wrist with his other hand and scratched it.

For a moment, the other teens thought that Kumagawa actually cut his hand off his wrist, but they dismissed that thought immediately. If so then how was his left hand still there? Maybe it was just a small scratch.

"What about you, Kumagawa?" Jaune tried to change the gruesome topic.

"[Mine? If you want to see it then…]" Out of nowhere, a large screw appeared in Kumagawa's hand.

"This… is your weapon?" Jaune blinked, not believe what was in front of his eyes.

"[Yes.]" Kumagawa replied.

"What kind of weapon is that?! Who even use screw as weapon?! That is even worse than mine!" Jaune gasped, trying to catch his breath.

"You tell him. I said I would add a rocket launcher in it, but he didn't listen." Ruby chimed in.

"That is not even the point. How do you fight in the first place?"

"[Stab and throw it at others?]"

"Forget what I just said." Jaune looked down, exhausted.

The screw then disappeared from Kumagawa's hand. Ruby still wondered how he did that. She had asked him before but she didn't get a straight answer. Ruby noticed her friend began looking around. She followed his eyes, as did Jaune. And all three of them realized one thing. They were alone… not a single other student was around. The girl blinked slightly, before looking at her companions.

"Umm… do you know where we are?"

"No, I was following you." Jaune scratched his head.

"[Didn't you say you know exactly where we are, Ruby?]" Kumagawa shrugged.

Ruby just sighed.

Fortunately, the three arrived at the gathering area just in time. Ruby and Kumagawa waved good bye to Jaune as they made their way to Yang. Things after really weren't noteworthy except for Weiss yelling at her again and Kumagawa riling her up. The headmaster also seemed a bit off. And did the headmaster look at Kumagawa for the entire of his speech? It must be her imagination.

And so the night fell upon Beacon. As usual, Ruby dragged Kumagawa with her much to Yang's dismay. It was obvious to Ruby, even with how much the blond tried to hide it. Did Yang think she didn't notice? Bah. She also noticed the blond discomfort when Kumagawa was nearby. Why did Yang have to be like that, anyway? Kumagawa was a very cool guy. Yes, he was weird sometimes but he was not bad. Yang always said she needed to make friends but she always tried to keep Kumagawa away from her.

What was wrong with her sister, really? She hoped thing would sort it out soon.

A light popped up interrupted her thought. Following the source of light, Ruby spotted the other girl from earlier. The one who had known who Weiss was and… she had no idea who she was. The dark-haired girl hadn't exactly said her name or anything.

"It's that girl…" Ruby whispered, but loud enough to catch the other two's attention.

"You know her?" Yang asked, a mischievous light in her eyes.

"[I don't think we do.]" Kumagawa answered. "[But I think she is cute.]" Kumagawa and his unneeded comment.

"Well this is the chance to know her!"

Yang proceeded to grab her sister's arm and drag her over to where the dark-haired girl was sitting. Kumagawa just followed the pair.

"Hellooo!"

The girl looked up at Yang's shout and blinked her amber eyes. "Hello?"

"I believe you three know each other." The blond replied, pointing at an embarrassed Ruby and an amused Kumagawa.

"Hi… I'm Ruby." The girl in question stuck her hand out, only to pull it back hesitantly when it became apparent that the mysterious girl wasn't going to shake it.

"[I'm Misogi. Nice to meet you.]" Kumagawa said enthusiastically. As expect of her friend, not being bothered by anything.

She noticed that Kumagawa didn't mention his last name like he did with Jaune. So he was serious when he said he would not let a dude call him by his first name.

"And I'm Yang! What's your name?"

"Blake…"

As Yang and Ruby started whispering with each other, the newly named Blake stared intently at Kumagawa. Kumagawa just stared back, amused by the action.

They continued for exactly ten seconds before Yang asked again. "So, how are you doing?"

Blake looked back at her book. "Good."

"Okay… nice night isn't it?"

"Yes, almost as nice as the book I'm reading." Blake was saying.

Ruby and Yang just smiled, awkwardly.

"That I will continue to read."

The awkward smiling continued, until Ruby walked up to Blake and looked down on the girl. A curious expression had replaced the nervous one on the teen's face.

"What is its name?" Ruby asked.

"What?" Blake asked back.

"Your book. What is its name?"

The girl blinked, before replying hesitantly. "It's about a man with two souls, both fighting for control."

"[That is cool. But I preferred manga more.]"

"I love books." Ruby said, completely ignore Kumagawa's comment. The boy in question sweatdropped. "Yang used to read for me every night. Stories about heroes… monsters… they're one of the reasons I want to become a huntress."

The dark-haired girl had a new expression on her face… one of confused respect. If that even worked.

"Well the real world isn't a fairy tale." The girl was saying.

"[But doesn't it look like one?]" Kumagawa said with an expression that Ruby never saw on her friend's face before. "[Hunters, the heroes, with fancy abilities hunted down the evil being known as Grimm to bring this world into peace. If they can, they would be left out in the world where their power is no longer needed and die in grief. If they can't, then their death would be used to increase the moral of other heroes until someone replaced them. Yep, fairy tale to me.]"

Everyone was taken aback by his statement. Blake stared at him wide-eyed, unknowing what to say. But one could see how tense her shoulder was. Yang instinctively stood in front of Ruby. Her eyes narrowed. Her hands clenched into tight fists. Sweats can be seen on her face as she readied for any kind of attack. As for Ruby, she…

"What are you saying, Misogi? The ending should be they live happlily ever after. Don't you think you read the wrong book?" innocently corrected him.

"[Of course they live happily ever after.]" Kumagawa said, bopping his head lightly with his knuckles. His eerie aura disappeared as if it was not even there. "[Silly me, I don't know what I'm saying.]"

Yang couldn't understand what she was seeing right now. She thought Ruby would take it worse than her. She thought Ruby would be shaken by this but she would try to be brave and talk back to Kumagawa. Not this. How can her sister be so nonchalant in front of this…. monster? Even she was about to break down any moment now. And Ruby just walked up to him like nothing happened.

"What in the world is going on here?!"

Fortunately, the voice brought Kumagawa's attention away from Yang.

"Can't you tell some of us are trying to sle…" Weiss complained before she realized who she was talking to. "You!" Weiss pointed at them.

"[Me!]" Kumagawa pointed at himself.

Yang didn't like Weiss at first, but now the petite girl was an angel to her. She didn't think she could stand in Kumagawa's gaze any longer. Ruby cannot hide her emotion that good. She knew, she was her sister. Then was this just normal to her? Not good. This guy was even more dangerous than she thought. She cannot let this psycho anywhere near her sister longer.

"Do you think this is a good idea, Ozpin?" Glynda Goodwitch, deputy headmistress of Beacon, asked her employer.

"Yes, I do, Glynda."

"But he is too dangerous. What if he does something to other students?"

"That's why we should keep him here. To keep him in check."

Ozpin replied as he looked at Kumagawa's photo. His mind wandered to the incident yesterday…

In front of Ozpin was a black-haired boy. This boy was nothing special, with average built and average height. His smile was visible on his face, despite the tense atmosphere. But if one looked closely, there were no true emotion in them. Behind him, Glynda must have the same thought.

"What are you doing here, young man? Doesn't school start tomorrow?" Ozpin began.

"[Well, I just want to ask you about a certain friend of mine.]"

"Miss Rose, I presume."

"[So you know, as expect of the headmaster.]" Kumagawa's eyes widened in impress. "[Then I will go to the point. Why did you let her attend Beacon? I think she is still 15. Or does she suddenly become 17 in one day? I don't remember her Semblance could affect her growth though.]"

"That is because she-"

"[Because of her family? Or because Ruby herself is special?]" Kumagawa cut him off. "[But that does not matter anyway. I just have something I want you to do for me. Oh, before continuing our talk, please give me some tea. Right now. Since I got lost in town plenty of times while on my way here, I'm completely parched.]"

"Young man, I won't tolerant-"

"Glynda." The headmaster stopped her. "Is coffee okay with you, Mr Kumagawa?"

"[Thank you]"

Ozpin stood up and made his way to his coffee machine.

"Headmaster!" His headmistress shouted.

"Let me handle it, Glynda." The headmaster said firmly.

To be honest, he didn't know what to think of this young man. According to his profile, his score was barely average. To be more precise, it was enough for him to graduate. But Qrow said this young man was someone that needed to be put under surveillance. At first, he thought Qrow was just being overprotective, but now, he was glad that he accepted him in Beacon.

"[Mmm… delicious]" Kumagawa complimented as he slipped his coffee.

"Well, let me hear it then Mr Kumagawa. What is it that you want?"

"[Okay.]" Kumagawa put 4 photos on his desk, the photos of four students in the upcoming year. "[They are students this year, right? I want you to put these four in the same team for me. And don't worry, you will not do this for free.]" Kumagawa brought his scroll out. "[My scroll contains information on the maidens you are desperately searching for. I don't know if they are still there, but good enough, right?]"

Ozpin's eyes widened. He cannot help but stood up. "How did you get that thing?"

"[It doesn't matter what my method was, right? The important thing is, with this data, your search will speedily advance.]"

"Young man, that is not something for you to handle." Glynda brought out her crop, ready to snatch away the boy's scroll.

"[Please no violence, Miss Goodwitch. If I'm scared, I will accidentally post this on the internet.]"

"You don't dare!" Glynda roared.

"[To everyone, it will be nothing but a joke. But to somebody who knows what is happening, I don't think you will like what they would do with it.]"

"Are you threatening me, young man?" Ozpin said calmly, but a hint of fear visible in his eyes.

"[That depends.]" Kumagawa put his scroll in his pocket. "[Please think about my suggestion, headmaster Ozpin. I would appreciate that.]" With that, the black-haired boy walked out of his office, leaving two shaken adults behind.

Alright, a new crossover features Kumagawa. I really like him. His speech, his power, his personality, they are all awesome. Unfortunately, there isn't much fic about him, despite being a potential character. How sad!

And one thing, Ruby is not Medaka Remnant version. And Kumagawa will be the only character from Medaka Box. So don't hope for more.
