chapter two: build and prep
(ignore the spaces in a later chapter, could not fix that. sorry.)
it was evening when they landed at a house on the island known as patch. as we got off I almost fell down but caught myself as Qrow says "first time flying can do a number on people if not use to it, you good to walk" I nod and he says " good I did not want to carry you." I chuckle and he looks surprised but starts walking up to a house I had not noticed. he knocks on the door. a man with yellow hair and similar apparel steps out and greets crow with "what is it Qrow, you are supposed to be on a mission so what came up?" he put a thumb at me over his shoulder and says to " found this kid in the forest, was hoping you could take him in tiayang." he looks me up and down before he begins to pulls crow aside when I speak up " if you are going to speak ill of me, I would appreciate you doing it to my face." they turned to me and tiayang said " fair enough, you seem to be reasonable enough to understand this, I have my two daughters inside and I want to know that you will not try anything." i tell him " i would ask in what way you mean that but it doesn't matter one: I would be rude to harm the host as a guest, two: I have not known your daughters to the degree of quartship yet, nothing against your daughters, who are on their way." he looks around, seeing that abother bull head was coming. he looks at me as I continue. "so are we going to go inside and chat like I am a person or will you set me outside like a dog?" he sighs and nods " come inside" he opens the door and motions me inside. I comply simply walking forward through the door as the other bullhead landed and out walked up to the house. one was a blonde with lilac eyes and yellow clothes as well she was talking with a smaller girl with black hair with red tips in a black outfit with a red hood. when they reach the house tiayang goes out and hugs them. they start to come into the house when they see me. they jump back and the blondesays " what is this boy doing in here"
they see Qrow and he responds with
"I and winter found him in the forest we were supposed to clear out
Grimm in, apparently, he had been
living in there for ten years. the
another reason was residents near the forest thought he was a ghost. we are here because I want to ask all of you if he could stay here for a bit." "just how long is that," tiayang asked, to which Qrow replied " until the beacon academy test." everyone
looks at him including me and
collectively ask " why?" he responds
by frowning and looks at me saying
"cause this kid is taking that test"
the rest of the room was in shock
and I look at him with a blank face.
yang then gains a grin as she
speaks " on that note, rwby has also
been given a chance to take the
test!" the room beside me goes
into a bunch of celebratory
comments, when they finish I speak,
socking them with my words " I hear
that we will be attending the school
as teams, it would be an honor to be
on your team, ms. ruby rose." she
seems most stunned at the phrase
and says " really you don't think I am
too young for this?" I then ask " how
old do you think I am? she looks me
over twice and responds " 15" like it
was obvious, I laugh and say " 2
years of, I am 13 years of age." she
looks shocked at this statement. "
but you have so little fat!" I look at
her and say " that is from my
upbringing." she, trying to change
the topic, ask " what weapon do you
use?" Qrow springs up and says " oh
right, we still need to pick a weapon
for you." I just nod and we get up
and head out.
skipping the travel to town. if you don't like it, bite me.
we arrive at the town and go to a shop. a look around at the metal weapons on the wall Qrow speaks " pick what weapon you want"I then look at the weapons before I point to a large broadsword and on the wall. it has a long blade with two nicks at the tip and a guard made of bones and a skull. Qrow then laughs and says "really, that is the most opposing weapon person combo here!" I shrug and pull it down as Qrow finishes laughing and say " might want a ranged weapon too." I again shrug and look at the ranged weapons and pull out a pair of guns called reap and sow, as the engravings stated. Qrow raises an eyebrow but says nothing I then say "would you mind if I got a guitar case?" he nods and we walk out of the shop after paying for the weapons we then go to a regular old music shop and go inside " ok I'll bite why a case?" I state " for a guitar." as if it was obvious. he says "I am not buying that"I laugh and say "don't gotta! I wanted this for my sword." he just shrugs and we head back to the house.
skipped again, please though don't actually bite me I just suck at these.
we walked into the house to see yang holding a jar above her head and a very energetic ruby trying to reach for the jar. the moment she sees us she accidentally lowers the jar and ruby takes it and starts eating cookies from it yang just sighs and says " you get any weapons x" I nod and pull the case off my back, then open it. she whistles approvingly. "oooh nice sword x, can I hold it," says Ruby, I respond by holding it out to her, but the second I let go it falls on her, to which she starts screaming " get it off!" repeatedly. I chuckle and lift it putting it back in the case then Qrow asks " where is tia?" ruby, having just gotten up says " he said he had an urgent mission" she then continuing to munch on cookies. yang then sighs, then asks " so where are you going to sleep, I say "the roof" she questions " the one covered in snow?" I nod and she asks" are you crazy!" "I look down and whisper " no." she just says " you will sleep in Ruby's room on the floor" at that suggestion ruby turns bright red, I just shrug and Yang says "well now that that is settled why don't we get something to eat"
time skip 3 months/2 months till exams
x stands out in the yard, sword on his back and eyes closed until all of a sudden red blur shoots out and he dodges to the right and quickly ducks under the scythe that was on its way towards his head. the red blur suddenly stops and ruby rose becomes visible as she swings the scythe back towards x, who then blocked with his sword and slipped under her guard and slashed at her, finally breaking her aura after hours of trying, he let out a cheer and helped ruby, who had fallen after being caught off guard, from the ground. she said " well done, x. you are improving by leaps and bounds." x just shrugs and responds " not without you and your family teaching me." he then scratches the back if his head " want to go again or head back?" she giggles and says " lets go back and eat cookies!" x sighs before they puts his weapon away while
skip 1 month and 28/ 2 days till the test
x's pov
i finish packing my stuff for the trip then i sit down on my bed and start crying, ruby passes by and is immedatly hugging me she asks "what is wrong x, please tell me!" i look up and say " how did i end up so lucky, if crow and winter had not found me, i would have died alone in that forest, but a part of me feels that is what should have happened." i feel a sharp sting in my cheek and look to see ruby crying "don't ever say that, ever!" i just sigh and hug her as she cries yang comes in and says " what happened i try to respond but euby beats me to it, "x thinks he deserves to die!" yang looks shocked and also hugs me but says " don't die yet, you and ruby haven't even gone on a date yet!" ruby shoots away from me and yang laughs at her red face and then both of them freeze as I chuckle " did you just laugh?" they both said in unison. I just shrug and say "more of a chuckle." they just laugh and i sigh contently.
