Hi. I still haven't seen much of your reviews (thought I doubt there will be any). Anyways, I hope you guys like this one.
Chapter 2:
What kind of person would willingly travel in a flying metal cage? Idiots. That kind of person. Apparently Yoru was an idiot if the fact that he was sitting on one of those flying things with his security belt strapped across his chest said something. Yoru felt something grumble on his stomach and opened his backpack to bring out some kind of herb and then put it in his mouth to start munching it. With that, his upset stomach went calm.
As he looked around he saw multiple people. A blonde woman with nice curves with a young girl with black hair on a headlock. A big guy with brown hair and gray armor. A blonde kid in white armor with a pained expression. Is this it? Is there another person who hates this kind of traveling? If it's true then he must become a friend. Friends over hate. The best kind of friendship. With that in mind Yoru enacts his plan, he unstrapped his security belt, took his backpack and sat next to the kid to then strap his security belt. The kid looked at him with confusion while Yoru was rummaging through his bag.
"Here, it'll help you with an upset stomach" Yoru hands him an herb and the kid looks at him suspiciously before taking it and putting it close to his face while looking at Yoru. Yoru had an expectant expression on his face. The kid closed his eyes and put the herb on his mouth to start munching. He hoped it wasn't poison or something like that. He didn't pay so much to fake his way into Beacon to just die on the Bullhead ride. While he was munching he could feel his stomach settling itself and opened his eyes to look at Yoru, who was smiling.
"Thanks dude, my name is Jaune. Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue. Ladies Love it" Jaune extends his hand towards Yoru who shakes it smiling.
"Yoru Ogami, friendly neighborhood homeless guy" says Yoru to then rummage through his back pack "You hungry? I'm sure I have some jerky here" after he says this Yoru brings out two strips of jerky and Jaune takes one to eat.
"Thanks, it's pretty good" says Jaune happy with this development. He was thinking on laying low in case someone found out about his fake transcripts but here he was, eating jerky with a homeless guy "Where did you buy this?"
"I made it" Yoru says after swallowing a mouthful of jerky "I killed a deer about two weeks ago and smoked it"
"Cool. So you know how to cook?" asks Jaune after finishing his jerky.
"Yeah, kind of have to when you live traveling. You want more?" asks Yoru.
"No thanks, I'm fine, I don't want to fill my stomach too much, I don't know how much time will be before we land" Jaune says while looking out of the window "I'm actually surprised you know how to treat motion sickness"
"I don't, my stomach was upset because of this damn flying deathtrap and I munched on the same kind of herb I gave you. I honestly didn't know what motion sickness was until you mentioned it and I associated it with being sick because of this cage."
At this Jaune chuckles "Yeah, I don't really like flying, I'm more of a ground person, usually cars or trains."
"In my case I prefer walking or sneaking my way into a train, it's practical."
After Yoru says this the flying hell cage docks at Beacon, opening its doors and letting the future students get out.
"Well Jaune, it's nice knowing I have a friend here" says Yoru as he unstraps his belt and gets up "I'll go explore the school, let's talk later"
"Sure, I'll see if I can make some more friends" Jaune leaves the airship with a skip on his step knowing he already has someone to rely on in Beacon.
After this exchange Yoru leaves the airship with his backpack on his back while looking at the academy. A really nice place, pretty cool, pretty big. Yoru was honestly impressed. While walking he saw a white haired girl walking along some people carrying big boxes so he decided to go talk to her.
"Hi" said Yoru when he was close enough to the girl "Do you need any help moving those?"
The girl turned to look at him and he was really impressed when he saw her. Pale blue eyes, pale almost perfect skin. Dressed in white with the collar of her jacket being red and a side ponytail breaking the symmetry. Honestly, this girl was beautiful. The girl looked at him. 'A weird choice of clothing' thought the girl 'Must be from Mistral'. She looked at him with detail. His purple eyes and black hair stood out from his white face, making it look like some sort of spirit. He was good looking in a bandit king sort of way although she wouldn't like to admit it. He was taller than her, she calculated he must be around 5,6 feet, he didn't look like a fighter based on strength but looks can be deceiving. 'He must be trying to curry favor with me but at least I'll have my hands free from carrying this'.
"That would be nice" says the girl with a polite but fake smile. At least this way she wouldn't look cold.
"Cool" says Yoru and grabs two boxes to hurl on his shoulders before he starts walking along the white haired girl "I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Yoru Ogami, your friendly neighborhood homeless guy" when he says this he chuckles a little to himself "Although I guess now I'll actually have a home."
Homeless? That explains a lot. He must be thinking about asking for money after he 'helps' her.
"My name is Weiss Schnee, although you would already know that" Weiss says coldly.
"Why would I already know that?" Yoru looks at her with a confused expression, surprising Weiss because of the genuinely confused tone of his voice.
"Weiss Schnee. As in the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company?" Weiss looks at him inquisitively when Yoru just looks at here more confused she sighs "I'm the heiress of the largest Dust trading company on Remnant."
"Why would you sell dirt?" asks Yoru even more confused. People buy dirt? If he knew that before he would be rich!
"Oh my god, you really don't know what Dust is" Weiss looks at him surprised at his stupidity before sighing "Put down a box, I'll show you" Yoru puts down one of the boxes and Weiss opens it, pulling out a little container with red powder inside of it "Dust is one of the more important things for the people and the economy of Remnant. It's a really potent source of energy and it helps people harness the power of the elements. But be careful when you use it because it's really volatile. In this case this is Fire Dust, one of the most volatile kinds of Dust, even a little spark around this can cause an explosion."
Yoru hears her explanation with his full attention, being really impressed by her intelligence and the possibilities of using Dust. Due to having his full attention on Weiss and her explanation he couldn't notice or dodge the red blur that crashed on his back, making him fall on top of Weiss and making her fall to the ground. Because of that she drops the container but Yoru manages to catch it before it crashes into the ground. After this the person who crashed into him gets off his back and he gets off Weiss, who instantly takes the container and gets up just to start berating the girl on the ground. While she does this he starts looking at the girl. Black hair with red tips, pretty young in appearance, wearing mainly black and red with a red hood. Not his kind of girl but he could appreciate an adorable creature and this girl was one. While he watches this he sees that the red Dust from the container starts leaking out and spreading around them, and by the look of the black haired girl she was about to sneeze. Was a sneeze enough of a spark for the Dust? He wasn't about to chance it. Quickly he covers the nose and mouth of the girl with the big sleeve from his yukata, covering her sneeze and making sure they didn't blow up. At this action Weiss looks at him confused.
"Can a sneeze cause enough of a spark to make red dust explode?" asks Yoru.
"Yes" says Weiss 'Huh, he actually was paying attention, I guess he isn't as stupid as I thought'.
"Then I just saved us" Yoru says this and rubs his sleeve on the covered arm of the young girl before getting up and taking the container from Weiss' hand before screwing the top as tight as he can, then he puts it on the box and closes it "Next time be more careful with your surroundings little girl" Yoru ruffles her hair and puts the boxes back on his shoulders "Should we go?" he asks Weiss, who nods and they both take off to the auditorium without knowing about the golden eyes that were watching them. After a little bit of walking Yoru puts the boxes on a platform where some staff took them and went into one of the hallways.
"Thanks for helping" says Weiss looking up at him, pale looking into purple "If it were not for you we could have gotten ourselves hurt."
"Don't worry, it was the right thing to do" Yoru smiles at her "Besides. What kind of friend would I be if I let my friend get hurt when I could have done something?"
Weiss looks at him confused. Does he seriously look at her as a friend? Well, at least he is helpful.
"I see, I must go see that everything is alright with my baggage, it was nice meeting you Yoru" Weiss nods politely and walks away to talk with the staff.
Yoru decides to explore the auditorium for a bit. It was a big place, easily fitting over a hundred students, maybe even two hundred. While walking around he saw a black haired person with magenta eyes enduring the constant ramblings of a ginger girl. That was a can of worms he wouldn't go near so he decided to stand by one corner until Ozpin came out, giving a nice speech Yoru didn't really understood. After this he said that they would all sleep on the auditorium so they would have to change into their sleepwear. Yoru went into the changing rooms and changed into a light black yukata before heading back into the auditorium with his bag. When he came back he saw Jaune talking to the black haired little girl from before and the blonde woman from the flying trap.
"Hi Jaune" says Yoru when he was close enough.
"Oh, hi Yoru" Jaune smiles at him before pointing at the blonde woman and the black haired girl "These are Yang and her sister, Ruby."
"Yoru Ogami" Yoru smiles at them before looking at Ruby "Did you almost blow up another person?" asks Yoru teasingly.
"Hehehe" laughs Ruby while looking away "Sorry, it wasn't my intention to almost destroy part of the school."
"Don't worry" says Yoru.
"So you are the guy that saved my sister from blowing up?" asked Yang looking him over. He didn't really look strong, he was more on the lean side. Her eyes drifted to his face, while he wasn't really good looking he wasn't ugly at all "Thanks for that."
"It's fine, I'm happy to help whenever I can" Yoru smiles.
"Where are you from Yoru? You don't really look from Vale?" asked Ruby looking at him.
"I'm actually from close to the Emerald Forest, although I think I may have been born outside of Vale and then brought to the kingdom" Yoru replies.
"Huh, neat" Yang yawns before looking at Jaune and Yoru "So you guys wanna sleep close to us?"
"Shouldn't you be a little more careful before inviting two guys to sleep close to you?" asked Jaune a little flustered.
"Do you think you could do anything to me?" asked Yang rising an eyebrow, Jaune just looked away defeated "I thought so"
Yoru was about to say something before he noticed someone watching him from the periphery of his vision "Actually, I'm going to sleep outside, the moon looks really nice and I don't like to sleep close to so many people"
"Be careful" says Jaune "Goodnight Yoru" as he says this he walks away with Ruby and Yang, the girls waving at him while he waves at them.
Yoru sighs 'Guess I better deal with this sooner rather than later' Yoru looks at the girl who was watching him. Black hair, golden eyes and pale skin. She was surprised when he looked at her before he looked outside and left with his backpack. It was clearly and invitation. Was she going to take it? It would probably give her an answer to her suspicions about this person. Sighing she got up and started walking out of the auditorium.
The moon was perfect this night. Yoru was looking at it while sitting on a bench close to the fountain. Thanks to his mentor Yoru learned of a tradition wolf Faunus had. In the old times wolf Faunus would howl when the moon was this perfect. With the changes of time it changed to playing music to the moon, in an effort to pay respects to it. Yoru took out his ocarina from his backpack and started playing a quiet tune. After about three minutes he stopped playing and put his ocarina back into his backpack.
"I guess you came" said Yoru before looking behind him at the girl from before "The name is Yoru Ogami, a pleasure to meet you."
"Blake Belladona" said the girl "I'd like to ask you something"
"Ask away."
"Are you a human?"
"Are you?"
"Touché" said Blake "Then it's true? You don't smell like a normal Human nor like a normal Faunus. Are you a Mixed Blood?"
"Yeah" says Yoru like it's nothing to the well-hidden surprise of Blake.
"You don't care that you can be discriminated against?"
"Why would I? Anyone that knows what I am is either a really intelligent Faunus or a Human with good perception. The humans usually wouldn't care since I don't have any Faunus traits and the faunus don't really have much right to discriminate against someone different if they don't want to be hypocrites, besides, it's not like I know much about what I am and I'm actually a little proud of myself now that I know."
"I see" says Blake a little reluctantly "You do know that most faunus don't like Mixed Blood right?"
"I don't know most faunus. The only Faunus I actually know a little more than the average are my mentor and I guess you, and you don't look like the racist type."
"How did you know I am a Faunus?"
"There are a couple or more reasons. One of them is how your bow twitches sometimes, another is that you don't smell like a human, another is the fact that you recognized me as a Mixed Blood, although I'm guessing it wasn't until you came close to me that you had your suspicions cleared."
"I'll have to be more careful then" Blake looks away with a little regret due to the fact that she could be so easily identified as a Faunus "What will you do with the information of my heritage?"
"Nothing" Yoru notices the confused expression of the Faunus "I don't really care that you are a Faunus, I'm not one to judge based on appearance, but I judge based on actions. As long as you do nothing bad against me I won't do anything bad against you. What kind of friend would I be if I took advantage of your secret?"
"What do you mean friend?" Blake asks still confused.
"Well, you heard me play a song to the moon, we shared our secrets at night and we grew a bit close after that. I honestly consider you a friend Blake."
"I see, I'm going back inside now… goodnight Yoru."
"Goodnight Blake" Yoru smiles as he looks at her walk away, after that he takes out a pillow and goes to sleep on the bench.
And with that we come to an end to this chapter. With this chapter I wanted to show a different type of Yoru. The type that actually likes people. The type that actually wants to help instead of kicking some drunks around. I hope you guys like it.
Now I'll regard the reviews I saw:
HikariHoshinoAsakura: Thanks for the good wishes, I hope you are well.
