AN: Hey everybody, it's been forever since I posted this story so here's a short little update and a promise that the next chapter will be longer.

Sorry for taking such a long time to update. I hope you enjoy this short chapter.

As Velvet and I stepped off the Bullhead, a blonde boy ran past and puked into a plant.

"Oh my, you think he's ok?" Velvet asked.

"Yea. Motion sickness. Common problem. Be fine later." I replied. Motion sickness was a rather debilitating problem, especially for a Hunter, so I was wondering why that guy still wanted to be one.

"Well, ok then. We should probably find out where were supposed to go."

"Follow big path?"

"Umm, I guess."

As we walked down the path, there was a large explosion that could be heard for a long ways.

'If that's Ruby…' I thought with a slight shake of my head.

We walked for a while before coming to a large building and entering, finding ourselves in a large auditorium with several other students.

"Oh gosh." Velvet suddenly gasped, sounding very nervous.

"What's up?" I asked, concerned.

"There are a lot of people around. I'm not very good in crowds." She replied looking around nervously.

"It's ok. I'm right here. No need worry." I told her, smiling reassuringly.

She seemed to relax slightly, "Yea, I guess you're right. And if anyone does anything, you can just kick them again, huh?"

I chuckled as we found a place in the back to stand and wait, "Yep. You could help. Freeze with cuteness."

She paused, blushing brightly. "Cuteness?" she asked, sounding hopeful, hesitant, and confused all at once.

"Yea. Your cuteness." I replied nervously, blushing myself now.

"So you think I'm cute?" she asked, still hesitant and hopeful.

"Well, yea. Anyone would." I answered again, rubbing the back of my head in embarrassment, sorta fearful of how she'd react.

Of course, I was overreacting, because she smiled at me. A big smile. One that I had to forcefully stop myself from staring at.

'I may not make it through one year, let alone four, if she's always this cute.'

Just as I thought this Ozpin walked up on stage and started speaking.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge-to hone your craft and acquire new skills-and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose-direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

At that, Ozpin walked off and Glynda (the blonde haired huntress that helped us) stepped up to the mic and started talking.

"Initiation will begin tomorrow. You will stay the night in the ballroom. You are dismissed."

"He seemed off." I remarked.

"Yea. Well let's head to the ballroom. I'd like to find a good out of the way spot soon."

"Kay."

We found a spot off in one corner of the room, away from most everyone else. Velvet had just come back from changing into her pajamas, while I was sitting on the nearby windowsill reading a book.

"So, today was an alright day, don't you think?" She asked me.

"Yea. Friend made already. Great day." I replied happily.

"Aww, well glad I could make your day," she replied almost jokingly, with a faint blush.

There was suddenly a commotion from the other corner of our side of the room, and as we looked to see what it was, my good mood rose just a slight bit. Yang and Ruby were currently fighting while a girl in a black yukata watched on, amused slightly. I got up from my spot and started walking over before Velvet stopped me with a question.

"Where are you going?"

"Talk to sisters. Be back bit. Kay?"

"Oh, alright."

I continued on my way over to Yang and Ruby. As I got closer, I spoke up.

"Fighting again?" I asked in the most menacing tone I could muster. What can I say, I love messing with these two.

Both girls visibly jumped at my sudden arrival and at my tone.

"Oh hey, Sis. We were just having a friendly conversation with Blake here. Ain't that right, Rubes?" Yang spoke, trying and failing to not sound nervous.

"Y-yea. Th-th-that's r-r-right." Ruby replied failing even worse than Yang to hide her fright.

"Oh really. Well hello, Blake. I'm Aurora." I said looking past the two cowering girls to the one sitting on the floor with a book in her hands.

"Hello, I assume you're their sister then?" She asked, smirking at the cowardice of the others.

"Adopted, but yes. Watcha readin?"

"It's a story about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body."

"Hmm, sounds interesting. Well, cya later. Yang, Ruby. Remember, no fighting." I said pointing my finger into their faces before turning and walking back to Velvet and my spot.

"Have a good talk?" She asked as I returned.

"Uhuh. Scared them. Love doing that."

"I have to see you do that one day, sounds like I'd get a good laugh out of it."

"Yea, you would. Well, goodnight Velvet."

"Oh, goodnight. Sleep well."

"You too." I replied, knowing I wouldn't at all.
