So here we are again at the beginning of a new story in a new world this time in the world of RWBY I know as a fact I want to add a pairing into this story but I don't know if I'll do a harem I'll include a list at the bottom and anyone who decides to write a review can vote for what they want, if it ends up as a single pairing it will be with Ruby so she's your guarantee. So yeah, this will be an OC-centric story and I will warn you now, some characters will die not all of them being in the original show and if there's something that I feel needs explaining I'll add an explanatory chapter to clear it up, otherwise feel free to PM me or leave your questions in the reviews, if I see the same question asked more than once I'll actually respond to it up at the top of the next chapter. Anyways onto the first chapter of The Shadowed Fox (Please help me get a better name if you don't like it) Oh and it may be short; it's just the prologue.

I don't own RWBY Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth (?) do.

"Talking"

"Thinking"

"Announcement"

"Menacing Voice"

It was a dark and stormy night in Vale yet hundreds of people had gathered to the same spot, each and every one of them was a huntsman or from the police and they were all there for the same reason, they had tracked down the notorious Reaper to this building, the Reaper was an assassin known around the world for having never failed to make his mark and anyone who's seen them has been promptly killed so they have no idea what the Reaper actually looks like except that he carries a scythe as a weapon, hence the name.

While the majority of the group wishes to imprison the assassin, some wanted to kill him for one reason or another. All except one, a tall grey haired man with grey rimmed glasses and a cane. He is Professor Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon academy. He was actually there to provide an offer to the assassin due to his belief that the Reaper hasn't actually taken any contracts and has a reason for why he's doing what he's doing, so it almost made him smile when they broke in and saw a young boy with spiked black hair that's tied into a ponytail at the back wearing black pants, combat boots and gloves as well as a black hoodie and a skull mask. He was surprised however to see that the boy had two fox ears and 9, yes 9 fox tails present on him before they suddenly vanished, as if they were never there in the first place.

He was also carrying a large double headed scythe with an obsidian colored blade and strange letters glowing on the blades and two swords on either of his hips. This young boy was obviously the Reaper, and he was ready to fight.

Everything was silent before a moment later one of the head police fell into his own shadow near the rear but that was enough to distract the entire party for long enough so that the Reaper could begin his assault.

It was a slaughter, the police were the first to be killed in various ways be it from being stabbed by their shadows or being bisected by the menacing scythe that took no prisoners. The huntsmen faired a bit better and lasted a good ten seconds each before they had their guts spilled as well, Ozpin being the last of the party was more than astonished when the boy somehow managed to get behind him as well, only to have the slash parried by his cane. Or so he thought. The Reaper suddenly twisted his scythe and split the two blades apart on their separate handles.

Using the second scythe that was now in his left hand he twisted his body around the cane and slashed at Ozpins neck. The headmaster had just moved out of the way enough to get a small cut on his throat just under his Adam's apple.

Ozpin took this as his cue to stop the fight "Young boy, I have an offer for you." He said placing his cane on the ground, which seemed to have the desired effect as the boy stopped his attacks.

"What do you want?" the Reaper asked, his voice was somehow smooth yet masculine despite its lack of use. The assassin knew that no one makes an offer without an ulterior motive, that's just how he had lived up until that point.

"Simple, I don't think that you're actually an evil person and I know you have a reason for why you're an assassin so I was going to offer you a clean slate." Ozpin said with an unnoticeable smile.

The young boy seemed to think about it for a second but then replied "What would you get out of this Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon." His voice was very suspicious at the moment yet displayed very little else.

The gray haired man flinched slightly but continued on "So you know who I am? Good, that makes this easier. In exchange I want you to attend my school and, whenever it becomes necessary, help me take on the darkness of this world."

The assassin stayed silent for a moment before his scythes became pitch black and disappeared along with his mask revealing the face of a boy no older than 17 with a deep jagged scar spanning from just above his right eye, over the bridge of his nose and then down to just under his left eye.

"You have… silver eyes…" Ozpin said in thought. It was true the boy had pure silver eyes.

The boy grinned at this showing his sharper than average canines "Indeed I do, and I know why that interests you~" He said in an uncharacteristically singsong voice that made Ozpin's eyes widen slightly "The name's Shadow, Shadow Vulpis. Pleasure to be attending your school. As for my reason… let's just say the black queen should have been white in your game." The Reaper now known as Shadow told the headmaster with a grin.

There we go, so that's the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of the story with no specific name. I encourage you to check out my other stories. But anyways if this story gets voted as a harem it will consist of Ruby Rose (Main), Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Neo and maybe Nora (up to you). Leave a review Cya!
