Second chapter of Beast Of RWEBY!
withdranwnmadness000- Thank you! As for pairings I honestly just want some ideas on who everyone else thinks he may be good with or if he should be paired with anyone at all. You don't have to have a reason for the pairing I just want opinions. (Honestly I'm not all that good at the romance department but I thought I could give it a try.)
SpecialMonitor22- First of thank you! I'm glad you like the story so far. Second I'm not being rude when I say the end of your comment made me laugh! So thanks for making my day! :)
First Guy- I just want to clear up something. Enfys isn't Naruto he's an original character that I created for the story. Also I think you'll like how the story will go. I have it all written down about how exactly he ended up in the woods and I'm sure a lot of your questions will be answered eventually.
Thanks for reading and reviewing everyone! :)
Also let me take the time to say RWBY Volume 3 is here! The first episode was awesome! :)
So with that lets start on the second chapter!

Beast Of RWEBY
Chapter Two
The Start Of A Hunter
Enfys had to admit, it was pretty amusing to watch Yang get flung around the clearing by Qrow. She would blindly run up to him with a series of jabs that the older man would easily counter, and then fling her away like a sack of potatoes.
Ruby on the other hand was watching the way Qrow used his scythe, eyes twinkling with excitement as she was tinkered with one of the man's simpler weapons, and Enfys, he was running laps around the clearing via Qrow's instructions.
It had been about three months since the shocking news that Enfys was Grimm Born was learned and there had been some changes to the family. First off, Enfys was now officially adopted by Qrow. Why wasn't he adopted by Taiyang Xiao Long? Well there was some complications in the adoption process. The adoption agency believed that since Taiyang had experienced several emotional traumas with both his spouses and that he had two children to take care of already, both of which weren't currently even living with him, he didn't need another child to take care of. Qrow believed this wasn't the only reason why the adoption was refused though.
He believed it was because the papers on Enfys stated he was a faunus. The adoption agency had several members in it that believed faunus were inferior beings and went out of their way to prevent the adoption of faunus children and faunus parents looking to adopt. It was a very unfair and sad thing but unfortunately it still happens. Lets just say that when Qrow himself had filled out the adoption papers for Enfys nobody dared to protest, because everyone knew not to mess with "Qrow The Reaper!"
He may not officially be their brother but the girls still treated him like he was. Ruby looked up to him and tried to spend as much time with him as she could. The girl was kinda socially awkward and as such started to develop an unusual obsession with weapons and an attachment to her siblings. Yang on the other hand found a new love in bad puns, that her father denies influencing. She had started to wear her hair down as well as take boxing classes. Also since Enfys's age is unknown, presumably somewhere around the age of the girls, she treated him like a younger brother and enjoyed teasing him.
The girls had expressed the desire to be huntresses and when Enfys was asked if he wished to be one as well, he simply answered with, "If Ruby and Yang are going to be one, then I will too." Enfys was very protective of the girls and was willing to do almost anything they asked of him. Except for the time when Yang dared him to dye his fur pink, he outright refused. That was something he wouldn't do!
So currently the three were training in their own way. Yang sparing with Qrow, Ruby learning how to put and take apart a scythe, and Enfys working on his stamina. As he watched Yang get flung back again Enfys couldn't help making a comment as he passed her downed form. "Yang is rash, needs to slow down."
She scoffs as she picks herself off the ground and wipes her clothes free of dirt. "I'm not rash!"
"If you aren't rash then why do you get tossed around so much?" Enfys passes Ruby who was just finishing up putting the scythe together and looks up at her sister.
"He's sorta right Yang." She stands up and swings the scythe around testing the balance. "You might do better if you calm down."
Yang waves her hand dismissively at the two. "What are you talking about. I'm always calm."
"Says the girl who catches on fire when she's mad!" Ruby retorts as she sits down to take the scythe apart again after showing it to Qrow. Yang had been the only one of the three to find out what their semblance was, almost burning down the house in the process. Enfys learned that day to never mess with Yang's hair and that he can hit hard but she'll give it back twice as hard. Since her Semblance let her get stronger with each hit she takes.
"Hothead." Enfys agrees passing Ruby and tussling her hair to the girls protest.
"Hey!" Yang seems offended but before she can make a comeback Qrow puts his hand on her shoulder.
"Their right Yang, in a fight being rash or angry could cost you more than your willing to lose." He motions the other two to come over as he continues to talk to Yang. "Not to mention that anger clouds the mind and may cause you to make mistakes."
"I understand uncle." Yang sighs as Enfys reaches out to pat her shoulder. "But its kinda hard for me, ya know?
"Yes I know" Qrow chuckles as they gather around him. "First thing you need to do is not get so angry about your hair."
Yang pouts and crosses her arms. "You know why its hard for me to not get upset when it comes to my hair."
"Its OK Yang!" Ruby cheerfully says giving her a hug. "Even if you never stop being rash Enfys and I will always have your back if something goes wrong!" Enfys nods agreeing with Ruby.
Yang adopts a huge grin as she squeezes her sister back. "Aww! Your the best sis!" She lets go of her sister only to reach out and pull Enfys into a bone crushing hug too. "You too Enfys!"
Enfys huffs as he tries to squirm out if her hold, his tail coming up and slapping her arm in an attempt to get her to let go. Enfys wasn't much for physical contact. He lets out a resigned sigh as Ruby reaches out to rub his ear with a giggle.
"Can't breathe." He growls and Yang reluctantly lets go.
"But you know Yang isn't the only one who needs to work on things." Qrow says interrupting the three. "Ruby your younger and have a hard time concentrating." The looks sheepish as she kicks the ground with her foot. "And Enfys needs to work on his stamina as well as controlling those urges of yours."
Enfys lets out a grumpy growl as he stares at the ground. It was true, he needed to be better under control. Whats the saying? You can take the animal out of the wild, but you can't take the wild out of the animal. Is that how it goes? Anyway, Enfys still had moments where he would suddenly stop during training and get distracted by noises. Lets also not forget the time a bird flew above his head and he jumped up to try and catch it causing Ruby to scold him about attempting to kill a "poor birdie."
"I know" Enfys says looking up at Qrow, who was watching him. "I'll keep trying."
Yang gets a sly look as she nudges Ruby. "You know now that I think about it having Enfys around is kinda like having another pet." The blonde whispers in her sisters ear loud enough for the two males to hear and Enfys gives her a grumpy glare as his ears pin back.
Ruby giggles before whispers back to her sister. "Yeah! He's cute and fluffy like Zwei!"
Enfys whips around to give Ruby a betrayed look and the girls burst out in a fit of giggles, even Qrow chuckles at the irritated look on the young boys face. "Alright you two enough messing with Enfys. Lets get back to training."
"Awww!" Both girls pout but comply with their uncle.
"Ruby keep working on that scythe and Yang go ahead and run some laps around the clearing until we get back." Qrow puts his hand on the boy's shoulder to keep him from joining Yang as she started to do laps. "Enfys come with me for a few minutes."
Enfys nods and starts to follow Qrow only to stop as Yang speaks up from behind them. "Where are you two going?"
They both turn and Qrow lets out a sigh as he sees Yang in front of them, clearly she wasn't going to let them leave without an answer, since her hands were on her hips and she had a determined look on her face.
Qrow reaches up to rub his head and rid himself of the headache he could just see himself getting from this conversation and Enfys smirks his eyes changing to a yellow color. Now Enfys may have been adopted by Qrow but he didn't really see the man as a father, more of a mentor and he very much enjoyed seeing Qrow deal with a stubborn Yang. It was amusing to him, and Yang said he didn't have a sense of humor.
"I'm just taking Enfys for a little bit Yang, there's nothing to worry about." She just continues to look at him and their conversation makes Ruby stop cleaning the scythe and look up at them.
"But you always take Enfys off on his own, we want to come sometimes too!" She doesn't seem like shes going to budge and Ruby gets up to stand beside her sister.
"Yang whats going on?" Ruby says looking from her sister to Qrow and back again.
"Uncle Qrow is taking Enfys again! Don't you want to see what they've been doing?" She looks at her sister with a raised eyebrow and Ruby fidgets under her gaze.
"Kinda...sorta...yes, yes I do." Ruby admits after a couple more moments of fidgeting.
"See even Ruby wants to come. So take us with you this time!" Yang begs and brings her hands in front of her in a begging motion. When she notices Ruby isn't copying her she lightly elbows her in her side.
"Oh right! Please can we come?" Now they were both doing it, just staring at their uncle expectantly and Enfys lets out a quiet laugh at the look on Qrows face. He just couldn't seem to say no to the girls when they both ganged up on him like that.
"Fine, I was just going to do some one on one training with Enfys. Since he doesn't go to Signal like you two do I just wanted to make sure he isn't left behind." Qrow grumbles as he waves for them to follow him. "Just try not to distract Enfys to much alright."
"OK!" Both girls agree as they walk on either side of Enfys following Qrow deeper into the woods.
Yang shoulders Enfys and he turns to see a wide grin on her face. "So whatcha been up to? Gonna tell us what you guys have been doing?"
He snorts and pulls away from her and she pouts about him moving away. "Training."
Yang rolls her eyes at him. "Well yeah I know that but what type of training are you doing?"
He glances at her only to see Ruby was just as interested, if her peeking over her sisters shoulder was anything to go by. "He wants me to better focus. Distractions are dangerous."
Yang nods and as Ruby skips up to his side avoiding his slowly waving tail. "I get it. Like he said before you do get distracted a lot."
He shrugs "Instincts. Can't help it."
Qrow stops and Ruby almost barrels into him. Luckily Enfys snakes his tail around her waist to keep her from running into her uncle. "Thanks!" Ruby says as he unwinds his tail with a nod.
"This is where we'll train today Enfys." The three kids look around Qrow to see what he was pointing at. It was a rather large clearing, larger then the previous one they were training at. It had many boulders and rock formations scattered around and a small pond in the very back. "I want you girls to go over by the pond so that you don't get in the way."
They both nod and do what he says but not before Ruby gives her brother a hug and Yang playfully punches him in the shoulder both wishing him luck.
When they get to the pond Qrow turns to Enfys who was looking up at Qrow with alert orange eyes. "Now Enfys, the purpose of the training today will see how well you can block out distractions and coping with a new environment." Qrow brings out his scythe from behind his back and points it at Enfys. "Come!"
Enfys immediately crouches down on all fours, his tail straight out behind him and his eyes a bright purple. He watches as Qrow remains in the same spot. Its clear he wants Enfys to make the first move.
It seems like neither of them were going to move when with a twitch of his ears Enfys flips backwards and hides behind one of the boulders.
"I see, so you want to start out defensive today." Qrow muses as he slowly walks towards the boulder, scythe raised.
Just as he reaches the boulder dirt explodes from under his feet and Enfys pops out of the ground, claw raised to swipe at Qrow's legs because one of the first lessons he learned was that if an enemy can't move around their pretty much a sitting duck.
Ruby and Yang let out a cheer from the sidelines only to gasp as Qrow jumps up out of their brothers reach and swings his scythe down towards his neck. Enfys sensing his head was about to be sliced off tucks his knees in and rolls forward and the scythe slams into the ground.
Enfys stops to catch hid breathe and notices Qrow isn't even breathing hard. He lets out and agitated growl and clacks his nails against each other to calm down. "Your already getting tired Enfys. You see why I wanted you to work on your stamina?"
Enfys nods in understanding and Qrow seems pleased. "Alright now lets try something else." He reaches into his coat and pulls out a small shiny object.
"Is that a whistle?" Yang asks squinting to try and see the object better.
"I think so.." Ruby saws looking worried.
Qrow slowly brings the object to his lips and blows as hard as he can. Enfys reaches up to pin his ears down with his paws and his currently white eyes widen at the harsh sound that assaults his ears. It was a horrible screeching sound, his hands couldn't even block it out.
Without warning Qrow's leg slams into his gut and he's sent flying into one of the boulders behind him. The wind is knocked out of him and he lands harshly on the ground with a thump.
"You need to be able to get over this Enfys. It wont only be Grimm you'll have to fight in the future. A person could easily exploit this weakness of yours." Qrow only stops blowing on the whistle long enough to say that before the harsh noise once again assaults the poor boys ears.
"What the heck that's cheating uncle Qrow!" Yang hollers loudly looking furious. Ruby gets nervous as her sister's eyes start to turn a deep red.
The pain was unbearable for Enfys, not only was the noise loud but it hurt his ears so much he couldn't even concentrate on anything else. His senses failed him as he was knocked around over and over again by Qrow.
In the background he could just barley make out the girls protests about their training method and their voices reminded him of something. He was training so hard for them, for the family that took him in and looked past his unusual differences to the person inside. He understood why Qrow was doing this. If he let something like this get in his way there was a chance that the family he had grown so close to could be hurt by his inability to get over his weakness.
He wasn't going to let that happen. With a growl his eyes flash all different colors and he focuses on Qrow. He wasn't able to block out the noise but he was still able to sense Qrow. With a growl he flings himself at the man who seemed surprised by the boys sudden determination.
Qrow dodges the swipe of the boys paw and disappears to hide behind one of the boulders. Enfys was still unable to fully think straight and had no idea where the man went but as he concentrated he started to feel strange. He was usually able to sense people fairly easily due to his enhanced senses but this felt different.
It was like a light or a burning flame in his very being pointing him in the direction the man was at and as he turned to the rock he was behind Enfys was slightly startled. Why is the rock glowing gray? It was not just that, it was in the shape of a man and and the very core of the glowing gray shape was speckled with black and white.
It was Qrow, Enfys realized and shot off towards the rock beside the one Qrow was behind. The man was surprised to see Enfys dig his claws into the rock beside him and just hang there before using it to springboard himself at the hidden man.
As Qrow jerks away from the boy, Enfys notices the rustic smell of blood spread in the air and freezes. He looks down at his hand and notices a small amount of blood on two of his claws. He then looks up a Qrow, who had a hand cradling his right cheek.
As Qrow removes his hand Enfys and the girls are surprised to see two thin claw marks along Qrow's cheek. The man chuckles before turning his attention towards Enfys. "Well done! You were able to get over your weakness a bit." Qrow stops as he notices the bewildered look on the boys face.
Enfys looked confused, his ears pinned back and his eyes flashing between colors. His tail was fluffed up and was twitching nervously from side to side almost comparable to an agitated house cat. As he continues to watch the boy Ruby and Yang run up to him.
"Yeah! That's how you do it Enfys!" Yang excitedly exclaims slapping him on the back and Ruby gives him a hug.
"I'm glad your alright." Ruby lets go of him and turns to Qrow with a pout. "That was mean uncle Qrow! Beating up Enfys like that!"
The man didn't acknowledge her and continued to observe Enfys who's eyes had widen as he looked at each girl then back at Qrow.
The girls finally notice the look Enfys was giving them and Yang puts a hand on his shoulder in concern. "What's wrong Enfys?"
Enfys looks at her, his mouth parting and slowly answers her. "Glowing..."
"Huh?" Ruby seems lost as Enfys shakes his head and tries to explain better.
"Glowing light around and inside you...different colors." He looks at Yang. "Bright, wild yellows, oranges and reds. Fierce but warm." He turns to Ruby next. "Silver fast flowing with red flecks." Finally he turns his gaze towards Qrow. "Gray but deep down black and white...I could see you without seeing...sense it maybe?" Enfys growls as he tries explains he wasn't good with a lot of complicated things.
"Uhh...I think I'm lost." Ruby admits her nose scrunching up with confusion.
Qrow rubs his chin in thought before reaching down to tussle the boys hair. "It seems Enfys has unlocked his Semblance."
"Wow! Really?" Ruby says once again giving Enfys a hug. "That's great!" She suddenly releases him with a pout. "But now I'm the only one who hasn't figured out what their Semblance is."
Yang wraps her arm around Ruby's shoulders. "No sweat sis! You'll figure it out and when you do I'm sure your Semblance will be awesome!"
"Yes" Enfys growls out agreeing with Yang and that seemed to cheer Ruby up.
"Thanks!" Ruby says to the two before turning to Qrow. "So what exactly is his Semblance?"
"Well I believe he's able to sense our auras. That's why he could find me so easily even though he couldn't use any of his normal senses." Qrow explains to the girl. "I believe he could also do many things with his Semblance."
"Like what?" Yang asks as she leans against one of the many rocks.
"For example if he's able to see auras, how far away could he see one? Is it possible for him to track and aura if we needed to find someone?"
"So basically we could use him like a dog tracking a scent? Enfys already has good enough sense to find someone so how's that gonna help?" The blonde asks patting Enfys on the head, who grumbles at her to stop.
"Yes but what if it rains? Even someone who has enhanced senses will find it hard to track in the rain, not to mention a load of other things that could keep him from using his regular senses." Yang seems to accept that answer and nods.
"Alright I see how his Semblance could help." She continues to rub the top of his head and ignores him when he lets out a soft growl. "Hear that Enfys? Your Semblance is the bee's knees...whoa!" Just as she finished her sentence Enfys got fed up of her treating him like a dog and used his tail to sweep her feet out from under her. Ruby giggles at her sister as she falls on her rear and Enfys jumps away from her.
"Knees couldn't keep you up Yang?" Enfys teases her as she gets back on her feet glaring at him.
"Oh its so on Enfys!"
Enfys just uses his tail to beckon Yang with a smirk on his face, eyes a bright yellow and then starts to run away.
"No you don't!" Yang growls chasing after him with Ruby trailing behind them giggling the whole way.
Qrow just shakes his head at the three kids antics. "What am I going to do with you three."
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
Over the next few years Enfys continued to develop not just his fighting skills but his Semblance as well. He found out that not only could he sense a person's aura, he could feel emotions through them too.
Yang's fighting style turned out to mainly be focused on boxing, her dad teaching her a lot of what he knew...she never really learned to calm down and to get back at her for always teasing him Enfys would purposely try and clip some of her hair off during training just to see her catch on fire and get mad.
Ruby was really a natural when it came to using a scythe and she couldn't wait to get her own. She also finally discovered her Semblance, which was speed. Enfys had to, on more than on occasion, pull her out of some tight places. The poor girl couldn't control it all that well for the first couple of months.
This particular day Yang and Ruby were off at Signal and Enfys was sitting on the couch playing with Zwei. The dang dog could use a can opener, use aura, and heck even use a toilet, but the concept of a simple trick such as sit was something Zwei seemed to not understand.
It was almost time for the girls to get back home. They had told him not to go anywhere because they had a surprise for him although their last surprise they brought home happened to be the hyper bundle of fur that way Zwei. SO excuse him he he seemed a bit nervous on what they'd bring home.
The banging of the door and Yang's excited voice told Enfys that they were home. "Helloooo!" She says walking into the room a large covered bundle in her arms. Ruby trails in behind her with an even larger bundle.
Qrow wanders his way into the house after them as Zwei bounces happily around their feet.
Enfys stands up to greet them. "Welcome home." He growls out as Zwei runs back to him and sits by his feet.
"Hi Enfys!" Ruby greets him as she walks in behind her sister.
"Whats that?" Enfys asks pointing to the bundles in both girls arms.
Yang opens her mouth to answer but Qrow interrupts before she can talk. "Why don't we go to the kitchen to do this. There will be more room for your surprises on the table."
"Alright." Yang agrees and they all go into the kitchen. Yang and Ruby set their bundles down on the table with a thump. As they come in contact with the wood Enfys makes out a metallic clang from what inside.
"So again what's inside?" Enfys asks once again pointing a claw towards the bundles on the table.
Yang sets her hand on Ruby's shoulder. "Let me go first sis."
"OK." The younger sister says bouncing in place.
"Usually in the last year of their training at Signal the students are tasks with making their own personal weapons." Qrow explains to Enfys. "Ruby got to make hers as well since I recommended it. The girls were super excited to show you. I've seen Ruby's since I had to supervise her but I haven't had the chance to see Yang's yet."
"Here they are!" Yang exclaims unwrapping her bundle and showing him her weapons. They were a pair of golden gauntlets. Rolled up beside the gauntlets were a string of red ammo shells. "I call em Ember Celica!"
Enfys reaches out to pick up one of the red shells and brings it up to sniff it only to jerk back and gingerly set it back down on the table. "Explosives?"
"Yup!" Yang says popping the end of the word. She grabs her weapons and positions them on her arms. He watches as part of the gauntlets retract and they now resembled bracelets on her arms.
"My turn, my turn!" Ruby says excitedly zipping up to Enfys' side. She reaches out to unwrap her bundle with a large smile on her face. It looked like a folded up piece of red metal and Enfys told her that.
"Of course not!" Ruby says offended as she cradles the weapon to her chest. "My sweethearts much more then just a piece of metal!" She flicks her wrist and it extends out into a curved blade. "Not only is Crescent Rose a scythe its also a customization high-impact sniper rifle."
"So its a gun." Enfys says slightly deadpan.
"Yes."
"Aren't most all weapons nowadays also guns." Enfys asks with a tilt of his head.
Ruby pouts and he can't help but smile at her she was so easy to tease sometimes.
Yang chuckles as she smacks Enfys on the shoulder. "Don't tease Ruby so much En she was excited to show you."
He gives Ruby an apologetic look, ears pined back and eyes a light blue. "Sorry Ruby, its really great. I'm glad they let you make a weapon early."
"Its OK Enfys I'm glad they let me too." She smiles at him and then looks at Yang. "But I still wish I was older. Yang is a week away from taking the test to be admitted to Beacon, and your getting a recommendation from Qrow while I have to wait another year or two." She sighs looking at the ground.
It was true, since Enfys wasn't able to go to Signal Qrow decided to make a personal recommendation to the Headmaster of Beacon to allow Enfys to join. He would be going to Beacon the same time Yang was if the Headmaster approved after their interview. He kinda felt bad that they all wouldn't be going together.
"Sorry sis wish there was some way around the rules." Yang says to her sister who just sighs.
"Yeah. Anyway Enfys have you thought about making your own weapon?" Ruby tries to change the subject since it was starting to depress her a bit.
"Ruby..." Enfys just holds up his arms and wiggles his claw like hands at her. "Claws..."
"We know your claws and heck, pretty much your tail can be used as a weapon but she's asking if you've thought of making something else just in case you needed it?" Yang asks him.
Honestly Enfys hadn't thought much about it. He was a close range fighter and didn't really like the thought of using guns in a fight. It wasn't helpful that he didn't have opposable thumbs like everyone else, so finding the appropriate weapon for him would be hard.
Enfys shakes his head. "No I haven't, I think using regular weapons would be hard since I couldn't really hold on to it right." His ears twitch and he looks towards his mentor as he asks the next part. "I know that its required for most Beacon student to have their own weapon but do I really need one?"
Qrow rubs his chin in thought before shaking his head. "I don't really think It'll be a big deal. Explaining you don't have you should be enough to satisfy them. All they really care about is that you have a means to fight and protect yourself."
"Alright no weapon for me." Enfys says with a shrug,
"No no no!" Ruby waves her arms in the air. She wasn't happy with that decision. "You need a weapon Enfys, its just not right for you to be without one."
"Ruby I honestly don't need one. It would just hinder me." Enfys says trying to explain to the girl who just sighs knowing she wont win.
"Well since that's taken care of who wants to go out and train with their new weapons?" Qrow says and chuckles as Ruby excitedly agrees and zips out the front door dragging Enfys and Yang behind her. "She's so easy to make happy."
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
"You passes the test!?" Ruby squeals as Yang nods.
"Yup! I'm officially a Beacon student as of today." She had just got back from her test and immediately gathered everyone around to tell them the good news.
"I'm proud of you Yang. You worked hard for this." Qrow says clearly proud of her. She had said that she wanted to go alone so Qrow had stayed at the house waiting for her to come home.
"Well done!" Enfys says and it almost sounded like a rumbling purr came from his throat.
"Yay! Yang your awesome!" Ruby says jumping on her sister and hugging her half to death. "We should have a party to celebrate!"
Yang rubs the back of her head and lets out a nervous chuckle. "Well I'd love to sis but I promised my friends that passed the test with me, that I'd go out with them tonight."
"Awww but..." Ruby seemed down that she wouldn't be able to celebrate with her sister. She jumps as a furry hand falls on her shoulder and turns to see Enfys smiling his eyes a deep shade of purple.
"You can come into town with me Ruby. I'll take you to that store you like, what's it called? Dust Till Dawn? Maybe pick up a new part for Crescent Rose on the way?"
Ruby squeals her eyes sparkling and Yang shoots him a relieved and thankful look. "Yes! Lets go! Can we go now? Pretty please!"
"Yes." Enfys says with a chuckle as Ruby grabs his arm and tries to tug him out the door. "Aren't you gonna tell them bye?"
Ruby stops and zips up to give her uncle a hug then runs up Yang and squeezes her. "I'm happy for you Yang! You should go out and celebrate however you want."
"Aww! Thanks sis, you have fun with Enfys." She says winking at him as Ruby grabs his arm again. Her just rolls his eyes at her as Ruby drags him out the door.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
"There it is!" Ruby says excitedly pointing to the brown and orange sign of 'From Dust Till Dawn'. It was rather late at night and Enfys was pretty sure this store was the only open, at least in the area, the owner was pretty good about keeping it open late.
Ruby opens the door and immediately zooms to the back of the store where the weapons parts were located. Enfys walks in after her and gives a polite smile to the older gentlemen manning the counter and the man nods back. That's what he liked about this store the owner wasn't racist towards the faunus, even though he didn't talk much.
"Enfys come look at this!" Ruby says waving her arms and trying to get Enfys' attention.
He sighs and makes his way to the back where she was at. "What is it?"
"Look!" She holds up something in front of his face.
He gives her a deadpan look his eyes a simple brown. "That's a cup holder..."
"Yup!" She says smiling at him.
"Why?"
"Why wouldn't I need a cup holder?" Ruby says tilting her head.
"No, just no" Enfys says shaking his head at her.
"Aww spoilsport." Ruby pouts at him but puts the cup holder back on the shelf. She then notices the magazine rack. "I'm gonna look at the magazines." She says putting her headphones on and pulling up her hood.
Enfys just nods at her as her music blares through her headphones and she picks up one of the magazines. She wouldn't have heard him if her answered out loud anyway.
He wanders his way back over to the front counter to look at the dust crystals. He didn't really use dust since he didn't have a weapon like Ruby and Yang but he had ideas on using it without him owning a weapon. He looks up at the shop keeper who was waiting patiently for him to decide on something. "Could I have a couple of the red crystals and one canister of red dust please?"
The shopkeeper nods as he zooms around collecting what Enfys asked for and brings it to the front. Enfys pays the required amount of Lien and stores his dust into the pouch on his hip.
Suddenly Enfys freezes as his Semblance allows him to sense people outside the store and their auras didn't feel friendly. Making his way to the back of the store Enfys reaches Ruby and pulls her hood down from behind.
Startled Ruby whips around, taking her headphones off as she does, to face Enfys who brings a claw up to his lips to shush her. "We might have some company and I don't think they're the friendly type so be ready."
Right as he finished the door opens and several men walk in, most of them wearing red sunglasses and having a black and red color scheme to their business suit attires. He noticed they all carried red blades in their hands or guns at their hips. What caught his attention though was the man in front.
The man's bright orange hair was hard to miss even though it was partially covered by a black bowler hat. Some of his hair covered one of his slanted green eyes as his gaze falls on the shopkeeper. He walks up to the older man, long white coat swaying and starts to talk to him as he pulls out a cigar.
Enfys takes note of the man's aura. It was white but also stained with black. It felt like the man meant business and would do whatever he needed to do to get what he wanted.
They watch as one of the men pulls out a gun and points it at the old man. "We have to help him!" Ruby says but Enfys puts is arm out and shakes his head at her.
"No lets wait, I don't think they'll hurt the man just yet and we need to know what they are here for."
Ruby seems antsy as the orange haired man orders the others to start collecting dust. They had yet to spot Enfys and Ruby who were watching them in the back. "So their after dust? Why not money?"
One of the men walks up to fill a canister full of dust at the tubs on the wall and finally spots the two. "Here we go..." Enfys says as he quickly walks up, within five feet of them, and points his blade at them.
"Alright brats put your hands up where I can see 'em." He orders as Enfys and Ruby give each other sidelong looks, Enfys' ears twitching and yellow eyes dilating.
"Are you robbing us?" Ruby asks and Enfys holds back a chuckle at her tone of voice.
"Yes!"
"Ahh..." She says slightly smirking before bringing out Crescent Rose in its inactive form and slugging the man across the room.
"Nice!" Enfys says with a smirk on his face as two more men run up to point their guns at the two.
The two teens nod at each other and tackle the men, also slamming through the shops window in the process. Enfys found it amusing that the rest of the goons were tentatively peeking around the broken glass of the window.
As they both stand up Ruby leans Crescent Rose on her shoulder and it extends into its active state. She then twirls her scythe around before slamming it into the ground and clicking off her music when she was done.
"Dramatic much?" Enfys couldn't help but tease her his tail happily swaying and she rolls her eyes at him.
The orange haired man walks up to window and just stares at them. "OK...get them." He jerks his head in the tens direction to emphasize his point and the rest of the goons rush them.
The first one swipes his blade at them and Enfys jumps back as Ruby swings herself over her scythe. She uses the momentum to slam both her feet int the guys face and he's sent flying back.
Enfys jumps over Ruby as another guy comes up behind her. He lands on all fours and twists his body around so he can use his tail to knock the guys feet out from under him. He knocks the guy out slamming his palm into the guys face just as Ruby finished up a spin that knocks into two other guys.
He jumps onto a nearby light post as bullets are fired at him and watches Ruby use he speed to dodge them and get close to the guy firing at them. What's funny though is that she was going so fast she just slams into to guy, sending him flying up and into the perfect spot for Enfys to jump and slam his tail into the guys gut sending the goon crashing back towards the ground.
Enfys lands as Ruby slams her scythe into the ground to stop herself right beside him.
While all that was going on the orange haired man had made his way out of the store to stand beside a knocked out goon. "You were worth every scent, truly you were." The man sighs as he takes his cigar out of his mouth. "Well Red, Fluffy, its been quite an eventful evening." He drops his cigar and squishes it with his can before pointing it at the two. "As much as as I'd like to stick around, I'm afraid this is where we part ways." As he finishes the tip of his can pops open.
Enfys jumps back pulling Ruby by her hood just as the man shots at the spot they were currently at tearing up the cement with a single shot. When they look back up they notice the man isn't anywhere in sight.
Ruby turns her head and taps Enfys' shoulder to point out the man was now climbing up a ladder on a nearby building trying to get away. "Mind if we go after him?" She asks the shopkeeper who was leaning against the door frame and he only nods as Ruby shoots off after the robber.
"Sorry about you're window." Enfys apologies before he follows Ruby up the ladder to confront the man.
As he jumps over the edge of the building he sees Ruby facing the man in the white coat and runs up to her side. Just as he reaches her a Bullhead pops up over the building stirring up the wind and causing Enfys' ears to pin back at the noise. They are momentarily blinded by a bright light and that's all the time the man needs to climb into the cargo area of the Bullhead.
"End of the line brats!" He says tossing a red dust crystal at Ruby's feet. Enfys, realizing what was going to happen, when he points his cane at the crystal wraps himself in front of Ruby to try and shield her from the blast.
Just before the explosion goes off a purple blur lands in front of them, keeping them from harm. As the dust cloud clears Enfys uncurls himself from Ruby to observe their savior.
It was a women with blonde hair tied back in a bun with oval glasses resting on her nose. She had a...riding crop? Raised in the air with purple glyphs spinning around the tip. He knew who this women was, Glynda Goodwitch, Huntress and teacher at Beacon Academy.
He could just feel Ruby's excitement through her aura at being so close to an actual Huntress that wasn't her dad or uncle.
The women's aura was as purple as the glyphs that slowly vanished at the tip of her riding crop. It was sharp and bright, she was very stern and confident, at least that's what he got from her aura.
She pushes her glasses higher on the bridge of her nose and swings her crop in the air sending out streams of purple energy that bombarded the Bullhead, knocking it around mercilessly in the air. The orange haired man stumbles further into the ship and that when's Enfys realizes something important. There was someone else on the Bullhead.
How he didn't realize it before Enfys didn't know but he found himself unable to move at how overwhelming the persons aura was. It was fiery like Yang's aura but it had a more smoldering feel to it. Like a wildfire that would consume anything in its path and would patiently do just that.
He didn't even register when Glynda created a storm cloud that shot ice into several places of the ship and as he continued to watch the opening of the side of the Bullhead a figure emerged.
It was definitely female he could tell that much by the body shape and it was also, without a doubt, the source of the overwhelming aura he had felt. All he could make out was her red outfit and the glowing symbols snaking up her arms and her eyes the same color as the symbols a burning amber.
Fire forms along the women's arms and in the palm of her hand, and she flings her arms forward sending fire shooting at Glynda, who blocks it with another purple glyph. Then a tower of flames fly out from the ground and with more flexibility then Enfys thought she could achieve wearing a skirt, Glynda back flips out of harms way.
The attack had torn out stone from the ground and Glynda uses that to her advantage by covering it in purple energy, forming a javelin shape. With a flick of her wrist it flies at the Bullhead, but their enemy is prepared, shooting off flames to break it apart. Unfortunately for her it reforms and slams into the side of the ship causing her to stumble.
Glynda then makes the debris circle back around to the opening of the ship. Enfys then feels the women's aura flare out and destroy the debris around her causing flaming cinders to fall at their feet.
Ruby seemed to finally snap out of it as she starts shooting bullets at the Bullhead in an attempt to help, but the women easily deflects them without any trouble.
With a growl Enfys pulls out one of the crystals he just bought and tosses it at the Bullhead opening. "Ruby shoot!"
Getting the hint Ruby shoots the crystal right before it reaches the Bullhead causing a large explosion but it seemed that even that wouldn't stop the woman as the dust cleared and she appeared unharmed.
More towers of fire form at their feet and Enfys grabs Ruby as he and Glynda jump out of harms way, but that gave the Bullhead enough time to pull away and make its escape.
Enfys sighs and wipes off some off the cinders on his tail as Ruby turns to Glynda. "Your a huntress! Can I have your autograph!?"
What Ruby doesn't know is that Glynda's aura showed she was very irritated. Enfys knew without a doubt they were in a hell of a lot of trouble. Yang was gonna kill him when she found out!
OK since everyone seems to like Yang so much (and Ruby) I changed the plot a bit to make me feel better if I ever do decide to make Yang or Ruby as the pairing.
Not saying I will! I'm not promising anything!
So Enfys had a bit of change of personality. I mean its been a couple years so he's had time to develop his personality more not to mention living with Yang and Ruby has influenced him quite a bit.
Third chapter has them starting at Beacon!
So again a big thank you for everyone that read and reviewed the first chapter.
