A/N so while writing this my computer was rebooted and I lost my progress. So once again, red, review, share, follow and favorite. Enjoy!
"Cruor, it's time for you to wake up. The airship will be leaving for Beacon in a few hours." Cruor opened his eyes to see his father, Russus, standing over him with a mug of coffee. Stretching, he sat up on his bed and accepted the mug of coffee that his father offered to him. Cruor got up and grabbed his clothes before heading to the shower. He let the hot water run for a bit, filling the bathroom up with steam. Taking his time in the shower and savoring the hot water, he was soon done and dressed in his under tunic ad pants.
He exited the bathroom and equipped himself with his pistol, Phantom Blade, bandolier and pouches, Flintlock Pistol, and strapping Altair, his gauntlet and sword combo weapon onto his back. Exiting the bedroom, he grabbed his travel pack with extra ammunition, knives, clothes, armor repair kits, and weapon management kits.
Walking to the kitchen and dining room of the sanctuary, Cruor could smell the succulent scent of sizzling bacon and frying eggs. Instead of those, he grabbed four apples and dropped them in an empty pouch on his bandolier. He pulled one back out and started to munch on in the corner of the room, all the while, other assassins were congratulating him on gaining a spot in Beacon. He was soon finished with his apple and left for the entrance.
His father was waiting for him when he got there. "Hello Cruor, Congratulations." The young master smiled at his father and mentor. "Thanks old man, Couldn't have done it without you." Hearing this made his father smile. "If you ever call me old again, well, I'll leave that to your imagination." Hearing this, Cruor shuddered. "Now, I have a gift from the grandmaster for you, here." Said Russus, pulling out a small black jewelry box. Cruor took it in his hands carefully. Opening it gave him a wide smile at the small device inside. A dark silver pocket watch with the Assassins insignia emblazoned in gold on the front cover. "Thank you father, I will treasure it." He said, clipping it to one part of his bandolier and putting it in another pocket.
Russus was suddenly behind him, pushing him towards the door saying "Good luck son, make me proud. Oh, and don't forget to come by on holidays! You know how cross your brothers and sisters here would be with you." Cruor shuddered at the mention of the others angry at him, he couldn't grow back his precious long hair for many weeks after that. Being pushed out the door, he almost bumped into the guard who chuckled. "Yeah, we'll make sure to glue it to your face next time!" He fell on the ground in full blown laughter. Cruor ran past him and scaled a nearby building, getting a bird's eye view over most of the city.
Soon, after leaping across the large expanse of rooftops before him, he made it to the docks and onto the airship. The airship was quite large and easily housed the students. In the corner, he could observe the students before him and their weapons, which ranged from a simple dagger to a grenade launcher war hammer combination. Among the students he noticed the same brown and red haired girl from a few nights ago talking with a rather good looking woman whose outfit revealed much more than needed. Her hair is what got his attention though, it was longer than his and was a very bright golden color. It also had a slight curl to it and seemed very well cared for. Overall, not according to her more ascetical attributes, she seemed like a good candidate for recruiting, although she didn't seem like the sneaking type.
She caught him staring at her right before he broke his line of sight to pay attention to a blonde boy running for the trashcan with a hand covering his mouth. When he looked back he was slightly surprised to see her standing in front of him with her hands on her hips, looking expectantly at Cruor. 'Hm, so she is surprisingly quiet and- Ah shit, the red kid from the other day is here too.' Noticing the small girl cowering behind Miss Brighter-than-the-Sun standing in from of him. "Can I help you?" He asked the girls. The yellow one giggled a bit at this "What's your name cutie?" she asked rather seductively. It was at this point in which Ruby, the young girl whose name he remembered whispered in her ear. "Yang, this is the guy I told you about." This seemed to peak the blonde's interest. "So, you're the guy who almost shot my sister and then got knocked out huh? Yang Xiao Long at your service hottie." She made to reach down and lean on his shoulders but he moved quickly, causing her to stumble and fall face first into his previous spot. During that time span, he had gotten up, loaded his Phantom Blade with a sleep dart, cocked it, and aimed it at her. This startled Ruby, who let out a yelp and moved back a few paces. "One, don't ever touch me without permission. Two, yes, I almost shot Ruby here with a sleeping dart because she was in my way. Three, I'd rather not shoot such a pretty girl, but if I must, I will with no hesitation." With lightning fast speed, she had gotten up and grabbed him, pulling him down onto her lap. "Now that wasn't very nice thing to do to such a pretty girl." She said, mocking him with a seductive tone still in her voice.
Cruor rolled off of her and once again aimed his Phantom Blade at her. "It was a fucking compliment and that's all. Now, all I was originally doing was observation." He sensed Ruby start to creep up behind him and, almost instinctively, his hand shot towards his flintlock and pointed it at her. This caused her to let out a squeak. With a sigh, he holstered his pistol and retracted his Phantom Blade and said. "I'm afraid we got off on the wrong foot, all you need to know about me is to call me Red. For now ladies, I must bid you two goodbye and hope that we will speak again soon." Upon hearing this, Yang looked a little saddened at the loss of her new toy.
After leaving the two ladies, he made his way to the doors of the airship, soon after they landed and Cruor disappeared into the crowd, making his way to the auditorium. Soon after arriving he felt a familiar presence upon him once more. "Hello Yang." He said without looking over his shoulder. "Aw, You're o fun to play with Red~, cheer up a bit at the fact that you have a pretty girl practically crawling all over you." He sighed at Yang's attempts. The bad thing was they were actually working. "Listen, I appreciate your attempts, but I have other things to do and I can't have any distractions, no matter how tempting they are." He said, with a tinge of sadness but mostly annoyance in his voice. He walked away into the crowd to gather his mind. He could hear Yang try to follow him, but stopped when she saw Ruby walk in. Ozpin walked on stage and said a few words before walking off stage quickly. Glynda came on stage and told everyone that they were to sleep in the Ball Room tonight.
The trip there was too quiet considering all the commotion going on. He picked a rather nice spot on the floor among the other students and rolled out his sleeping bag. He quickly disrobed into only his pants and laid down on the thin blanket, savoring the cool air flowing over his chest. Before he could drift off to sleep however, Yang and Ruby had laid their sleeping bags beside him and sat down. Ruby and Yang's faces both got red at the sight of his well-toned chest. Yang's eyes widened when she saw the gunshot scar of his left shoulder. She touched the scarred skin, making Cruor shiver. He was too tired to try and stop her attempts. He kept feeling cool fingers drag over his chest as he fell into his meditative state.
Later that night he broke out of meditation and found Yang clinging to his arm like a teddy bear, snoring loudly. He tried to break out but her grip was that of steel. He checked the room with his eagle vision for hostiles and found a few sleeping forms of red and still a few awake innocents, mostly Faunus. Within a few minutes, he fell asleep and Yang moved in closer, leaning her head on his stomach.
A/N So I'm trying to get a little more bold with Yang's attempts and it can be really awkward for me to write, so bear with me and if you have any suggestions for the story, please feel free to review or PM me. I know I jumped around quite a bit there but I ran out of ideas for this chapter, sorry. So, until next time!
