It was a bit tense in the doctor's office with the duo staring at each other. Naruto looked at Glynda with a passive look, not really caring about her. Glynda, well not so much the same look. She a slightly irritated look, not liking that he really didn't care what was happening. She truly dislikes people that would not take things serious.
"Who are you?" Glynda asked with narrowed eyes.
"What kind of stupid question is that? You already know my name."
"I know that. I mean who you really are. You're something that isn't possible."
"And what the hell do you mean by that?" Naruto said with an irritated tone not liking that he still had to be here.
"Every person in Remnant has an Aura, locked or unlocked, we all have it. You on the other hand, have no Aura at all."
"What the hell is Aura?"
"Aura is the manifestation of our souls, we use for various attacks, our techniques. There are some people that can use it as a shield, but not everyone uses Aura as a defense as it can be depleted very quickly this way. So I'll ask again, who are you really?"
Naruto gave her a small smirk and outstretched his to point at her and said, "I'm a ninja from a world that has succumb to war and bloodshed to a man that wants to enslave humanity to his peace."
Glynda rubbed her eyes from frustration and gave a heavy sigh. "You're not gonna give me a serious answer are you?"
"Believe me or don't, it doesn't matter at all. Now are we done here? I really am starting to get hungry and being here isn't helping."
Glynda said nothing as she looked at him and then just walked out. He didn't know what to make of that and simply stood up and followed her. It was a peaceful yet awkward walk with Glynda, the fact that she hadn't told him to stop following her was a good sign, maybe.
The aroma of food started to hit him and he was happy that she led him to it instead of leaving him to find out on his own. Opening the doors that led inside, Naruto saw a lot of students there chatting and obviously eating. Glynda nudged him and motioned for him to follow her. After several minutes, Naruto found himself sitting with Glynda and a tray of food that he's never seen before. Using what Glynda told him was a "spoon", he scooped some up and ate it. While it wasn't the best food that he's had, it certainly was good and given the situation he was in, he sure wasn't complaining.
"So what are the chances of me being gone really soon?"
Glynda gave him a lost look that she wasn't understanding why he wanted that. "And where will you go when you leave? You don't exactly have a home here, you'll just be wandering vagabond."
"And what will I get from being here? Nothing at all, out there I may find some answers to how I got here and how to get back home."
"You know how preposterous that sounds. Out there you'll be fending for yourself every single day, at least here you'll have meals and a bed to call your own." Glynda stated trying to convince the blond to stay.
"Well, it doesn't really seem that I'm wanted here." Naruto stated as he looking at a table not too far from them. Glynda followed where his eyes were staring to see the three members of team RWBY and team JNPR looking at their direction with Yang Xiao Long glaring at them, well mostly at Naruto.
"Honestly, she's acting like a child really. She should just let go of what happened earlier and try to have joy that her sister is alive."
"So why did you let the students into that forest if you knew what was there?"
"It was a test to see if they were ready to become Huntsmen and Huntresses, the defenders of this world."
"And to defend this world from those things?"
"Yes, not only that, anything that threatens the peace of this world. With the Grimm and the White Fang, I'm not sure that's all we have to worry about."
"The White Fang? What is that exactly? You can't just say stuff and expect me to understand." Naruto said with a dull look because of what he was hearing and from being tired of the look Yang was giving him.
"The White Fang is a terrorist organization composed of Faunus that once did things peacefully but soon turned to violence. Faunus are the same as people but have physical traits of some animals. Due to this, they have been discriminated against for a long time, because of this they are fighting for equality, but-"
"They're going about it the wrong way and it'll hurt them more in the end. They're a bunch of fools if they think it'll work. Sure they may have some respect but it'll be out of fear and that won't last for long, it never does." Naruto said pushing his food away with a saddening look.
"Mr. Uzumaki? Is everything okay?"
"Is the room I'm gonna be staying in ready?"
Glynda checked her Scroll and saw nothing from Ozpin and shook her head. She was about to tell him something if not for the blond student standing in front of them.
"Hey you, we're gonna have a little chat so follow me." Yang said trying to sound very calm not to sound angry.
"No, if you have something to say, say it now or stop wasting my time, I'm not in the mood right now."
"What? Who do you think you are to tell me that?!"
"Someone that doesn't care about you, now leave."
Yang grew angry and cocked her fist back and rushed forward ready to brutally beat him. Fist met face and loud snapping noise rang through the cafeteria and hush fell, no one daring to utter a word. Yang brought her other fist down to him and kept beating him down.
Students watch in shocked as the man kept getting his face beaten, not even trying to resist or retaliate.
Yang prepared another punch and thrusted her arm forward and felt it come to a stop. She looked in shocked and kept trying to bring her fist closer to the blond.
"That will be enough from you Ms. Xiao Long. Continue to do so and I'll make sure you'll have a months worth of detention!" Glynda said with her riding crop pointed at Yang showing that she was using her semblance.
Naruto brought his hand to his jaw and popped in back into place, staring intensely at Yang. He stood up, inching closer to her, blood dripping from his mouth.
"Mr. Uzumaki, if you any of the students, I won't hesitate to continue what Ms. Xiao Long was doing." Glynda told him with narrowed and a combat stance ready to fight him.
"If you had asked nicely than would have consider listening to you." Naruto said before he started walking away with Glynda letting go of Yang and following him.
The walk between them was once again awkward with small chatter from the students in the hallways. A sound came alerted Glynda that she received a message and immediately pulled her Scroll out. After a few seconds, she then put the Scroll away and got the attention of the other blond.
"Ozpin has the room ready now, do you want go or shall we see the doctor about your injuries?"
"The room will be alright, I'll be fine in the morning anyways."
Glynda gave a small nod and started walking in front of the blond with following behind her. It took several minutes to get to his temporal quarters, which were not much to say about. It was very bland room with only a bed in the center with plain white walls and a small window to the side. The room was also distanced from the student dorms and mostly situated near the teacher's room and classrooms.
"This room doesn't exactly scream comfortable you know. There aren't cameras here right? I'm not going to have worry about you guys spying on me right?" Naruto asked her a bit sarcastically but really wanted to know. Even if she lied to him, he would find out eventually.
"None of the sort Mr. Uzumaki and please for goodness sake, do not interrupt classes or fight with students while you're here."
Naruto gave her a small grin and a thumbs, "Hehe, I make no promises. Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow morning or whatnot." Naruto turned and walked inside to his "home".
Glynda gave a small sigh and began walking to where the headmaster was. What Ozpin finds so interesting about that boy was beyond her. If it was up to her, she would have just have the blond leave the school premises and not set one foot back here. She put such thoughts behind her as she walked inside of elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
The doors and she walked into the room seeing Ozpin taking a sip from his mug and looking at a list of students.
"Has Mr. Uzumaki been told what was expected behavior while he is here at Beacon?" Ozpin asked without taking his eyes off the screen.
"I did tell him, but I honestly don't think he was listening to me. Professor Ozpin, why deicide to keep the boy here? Why not send him on his way from Beacon?"
"Because he had no idea what a Grimm was, not to mention that he is also an unknown right now. While he may show no harm now, it does not mean that he will not cause trouble for us. That and he reminds me someone that I knew before they died. It might be me trying to still cling onto the past by keeping him here. It gives me a sense, that he belongs here." Ozpin told her as he held a look of grief remembering his past.
Glynda stayed quiet, unsure what to say to man that was still haunted by his past. After a long pause of silence Glynda coughed and asked him another question. "You said that he would be arrested, pardon me sir, but on what grounds would he have been arrested for?"
Ozpin gave her a small chuckle before answering her. "On no grounds Glynda, I simply gave him a bluff and he took it. I was thinking of the endangerment of several children, but where would that leave us? If we charged him with that, it would have backfired as we also put their lives in danger as well."
"Now if that will be all, I still have things to that require my attention." Glynda gave a courteous nod and headed out. Ozpin stared at his screen once again, on it, a message from his old friend James Ironwood and pictures of the students that were left without teams. He gave a small grin, feeling that the years to come were going to be grand.

Naruto woke up feeling refreshed yet uncomfortable. The thought that he had nothing to do did not sit well with him. He remembered the events that occurred yesterday and felt that he should check up on the one girl that he gave blood to. With that in mind, he got up and left his dwelling. On his walk there, it hit him that he felt a bit responsible what happen to the girl. Had he not shouted, maybe it would had gone a different way.
"Is that him?"
"That's the troublemaker?"
"He's the one that got into a fight."
"I heard he's a criminal and is being held here until the military comes."
Naruto ignored all the stares and things that were said. He honestly didn't like it, it reminded him what his childhood was like. He hung his head low, it wasn't good for him to think about this right now. He quickens his pace not paying attention to those around him, and turned into the next hallway.
"Ow!" Was what he heard in front if him. Snapping out of his moment of self lost, he looked at the person that he had bumped into.
"Oh no!" Naruto saw many papers scattered on the floor and felt bad as he once again messed up. He bent down and started helping the person gather their things. After all was said and done, he took noticed of the person which turned out to be a girl.
She had pale white skin tone, both brown hair and eyes and had what seems like rabbit ears sticking out of her head. She was wearing what he had guess the school's uniform for girls, a white form fitting top, a dark brown jacket coming down around her chest over a small brown vest with a red plaid skirt.
"I'm so sorry about that, I wasn't really paying attention." Naruto told her as he offered his to help her up. She took his hand and was back on her feet really quick. She looked around and noticed that they were the center of attention and quickly brought her gaze to the floor.
'She's really timid.' He thought as he noticed she didn't want everyone's attention.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you." He said as he extended his hand.
"Velvet Scarlatina." She said in a low voice, only for him to hear and took his hand to shake it.
"Well it was nice meeting you and all, but do you think could point me towards the doctor's office?"
After getting the directions, she gave him a small smile and a goodbye and he went on his way. He quickly found himself in front of the office and opened the door. It was he remembered it, a small low table in the center with chairs along the sides of the walls, and a desk to the far left with the doctor behind it looking at some papers.
"I'm here to check on the girl." The doctor gave a quick nod and back to his work with Naruto turning to left, walking for a tad bit and opening the door to where patients where situated until they recovered. It was a bigger but not by much than the waiting area, with a total of six beds, three beds on each side.
Naruto saw the girl staring at him with a slightly confused face until she remembered where she saw him.
"Hey, you're that guy I saw at Emerald Forest!"
"That would be me. How are you holding up kid?"
"Hey I'm not a kid!"
"Well you aren't exactly an adult are you? Well, how are you holding up?" He said with a bit of a laugh at the start and ended with of a concern look.
"I'm fine now, the doc patched me up and said I could go to class in the next hour. I'm glad that I didn't get hit too bad." Ruby said with a small smile on her face.
"So, where's your uniform? Don't you have a class to go to soon?"
"Sorry, but I'm not a student here. I here until some things are cleared up...I think."
"So you don't know anyone here?"
"Well I know Ozpin and Glynda, oh and Velvet, though she is shy, but she'll be nice to have as a friend. He ended with a small smile.
"Oh! Oh! Well if that's the case, my name is Ruby Rose, and I'll gladly be your friend." Ruby said with a big smile while holding her hand out.
He gave a small chuckle and took her hand. "Well Ruby, I look forward to being friends with you."
Naruto took his time to notice her person. Her hair, mixture of black and red, with black at the top and red more vivid towards the tips of her hair. Silver eyes being her most noticeable feature against her pale white complexion. She had don a hospital gown, given to her by the doctor.
"Oh, another friend! This is going great! We hang out after class, and eat together and..." Ruby kept saying about the things her and her friend could do. Naruto gave a good laugh on how the girl was acting. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have her as a friend.
The door to the waiting area was open and both turned to see who had entered.
Blue eyes met lilac eyes, then red eyes.
"You!" Yang yelled to Naruto and rushed him to finish what she had started yesterday.
And this time, there was no one to stop her.
