Couple things, first, thank you guys for the reviews. It means a lot to me to know that people are enjoying this, even if this thing only has two chapters. So far, at least. Next, I had a question on the romantic content, specifically smut/lemon and while not part of the plan, I will happily write out a smut scene if that's what you guys want. Originally I rated it M due to the general idea of this story but, like I said, it really depends on what people want if there will be smut. If I get enough people asking for it, I'll see if I can fit it in. I did not realize how sexual that sounded until I wrote it. Hope you guy's enjoy this!

They walked through the large wooden double doors and saw the very, very large open room that was the main hall. It was crowded with a large number of students, although one stood out, a bright blonde woman who was looking around and, once she had spotted the pair, began jumping up and down and waving her arms.
"Hey Ruby! I saved you a spot!" She shouted out, catching the attention of several other students.
"Ugh, that's my sister. Hey, see you later, alright?" She turned to Jaune, who had a small smile on his face. At first, she thought it had something to do with her sister's breast size and grew a small frown, but she noticed the lack of any perverted expression on his face.
"Hmm? Sorry, your sister... reminds me of someone I know." He looked back at her as he said this, and moved his artificial hand in a small wave. "See you." He walked off into the crowd of people to find a good spot and she moved off towards her sister.
"Heya little sis. So, how was it?" The blonde girl asked with a giant smile on her lips. And while the shorter girl noticed the implications in the sentence she decided to go with the literal question.
"You mean before, or after I fell onto some snob's over-sized luggage and was almost blown up 'cause she didn't notice a crack in the container?" Yang's smile widened to epic proportions and Ruby groaned.
"Oh god, she's right behind me, isn't she?" She asked, face palming.
"You!" The short, white-haired girl shouted at the shorter girl, to which she got a growled response absolutely dripping with sarcasm so thick you could cut it with a sword/spear/rifle combo.
"What do you want now, 'miss' Schnee? Perhaps a fifty seven and a-half page essay on how sorry I am that I tripped onto your luggage? Or could I perhaps grovel at your feet and proclaim my undying love for your inhumane company?" The heiress twitched at that last one and held out a pamphlet.
"Read this and don't talk to me ever again." Ruby grabbed the pamphlet and looked at it to see that it said 'Dust for Dummies, Sponsored by the SDC' and called out to the girl's retreating form.
"Hey, Ice-Queen! This is what I think of your pamphlet!" Weiss Schnee heard a ripping sound from behind her to see that the slightly shorter girl had torn it up and thrown the pieces in the air. "Look! It's snowing! Does this make you a little home sick, Ice-Queen?" She laughed as her complexion turned from pale white to flaming red and, just as Mt. Schnee was about to erupt, Ozpin began his speech, cutting off any retort before it began.
"I'll... keep this brief." He began, "Some of you have traveled here in search of knowledge. And others, have come here to escape a past they are less than fond of. Here, you will not find the ability to escape your past, but hone and acquire new skills. Once you leave this institution, you plan to dedicate your life to something, although not all of you have the same plans. Do you know what I see when I look at the crowd in front of me? Wasted energy. Bitterness. Wishes to escape something. But also potential. Amazing, unbelievably untapped potential. What this potential becomes is up to you. Many of you assume that knowledge will free you, but, as you will very soon learn... knowledge can only take you so far before you must walk alone." He spoke with a neutral tone, the words lifeless.
He turned on his heel and began to walk off stage, taking a small sip from his mug.
"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, Initiation begins. Be ready. Dismissed." She said quickly before following the Headmaster off stage and everyone followed suit, walking out of the main hall and to the Ballroom on some kind of horde instinct.

Ruby lay on her stomach, writing a letter out in neat, elegant script.
"What'cha writing Rubes?" Asked Yang.
"A letter back to Dad. Told him I'd write back and tell him about Beacon, guess he wants to know how its changed."
"Ah, dad. He never ceases to amaze me on how prying he can be into our lives."
"What the hell does that mean?" Asked her younger sister, looking at the blonde strangely and wondering what they had slipped into her sister's water.
"I do believe he asked me something similar, but more along the lines of, 'tell me how Ruby's doing and castrate any male that comes within twenty feet of my little rose'." She said with a smirk as her gaze flicked over to two shirtless boys homo-erotically wrestling with each other, both obviously trying to get her attention.
"I don't think he'd approve of all of the boys though." Added the shorter girl with a small smirk as she imagined the slightly perverted expression that she was sure was on her sister's face and the furious expression on their father's if he knew that the two men had done so much as shown their feet in her line of sight.
"Well, I know I do." She said with a purr. "And hey, what happened to your other pajamas? The cute ones with the hearts and beowolves?" She asked, looking at her younger sister's pajamas that were rather similar to her own with tight pants ending at mid-calf and a tight black crop top with her hair out of its usual ponytail and falling down to her shoulder, shrouding most of her face.
"Yang, I stopped wearing those months ago. When was the last time I hung out in my pajamas anyways?" She asked rhetorically, looking up at her older sister for the first time since they began the conversation.
"Hmm." She hummed, looking at the smaller girl in suspicion.
"Well, I'd ask you how you're doing but I think that conversation sums it up pretty nicely." Said a new voice with a fair bit of sarcasm in his voice.
"And who would this be?" Asked Yang, looking over the newcomer's blue fleece pants and white t-shirt, revealing the bandages that covered his right arm up to and past the shoulder and the connection port that led down into the metal prosthetic. He had apparently taken a shower as his hair was now a bright blonde and damp, as was his beard, and his face was no longer smeared with ash.
"Oh, hey Jaune. How're you doing?" Asked her younger sister without looking up, to her complete and utter surprise.
"Wait wait waitwaitwaitwait WAIT! My baby sister made a friend? All on her own?!" She asked in complete and total mock amazement as she put two and two together, and promptly got seventy-three and a half. "Oh my god, you are so crushing on him!" She squealed and enveloped the smaller girl in a bear hug, spinning, who promptly began growling and trying to escape her sister's embrace while Jaune Arc laughed hysterically at their 'fight'.
Suddenly Yang dropped her sister to the floor in a disoriented heap and took a step into his personal space only for him to raise an eyebrow, both changing emotions as suddenly as an explosion.
"Hmm... I suppose he's good looking enough." She said while rubbing her chin before moving behind him in the blink of an eye. "And quite a well toned body." He sensed the motion coming thanks to his Lotus-Trained-Reflexes(TM) and managed to grab her wrist before she smacked him.
"Please. I get enough of that from my sister." He said dead-pan before releasing her.
"Ooh, kinky." She said with a smirk, much to the displeasure of her younger sister.
"Oh god Yang, why?" Was the question groaned out of the still slightly unsteady girl's mouth.
"YOU!" Yelled out a high pitched voice behind them and, with a muttered curse, Ruby looked at the pale skinned and haired girl.
Damn, a full thirty minutes late. Sorry about the delay, I'll try harder next time. Hope you enjoyed this ever so slight rush-job (cough, I wrote most of this today, cough) and don't forget to read and review!
