Weiss returned quickly with her case of dust. Having recognized the case the Schnee heiress was holding Naruto jumped form Nora's lap and hugged one of Weiss' legs in return. As she was about to reprimand the faunus child the words were stopped as the child gave her an adorable smile. The whisker marks only added to the cuteness that was staring straight at Weiss, making her stern response melt like the ice she was teased about having around her heart.
"Did you bring me candy oneechan?"
While not knowing the words meaning as the child asked she, along with everyone else could tell that it was a form of endearment. Giving the absurdly cute faunus boy a smile she nodded she took her seat, Naruto squeezing between her and Ruby with excitement. Opening the case she almost melted in joy at the bright smile that was on the child's face.
Though maybe she should have paid attention to where said child's numerous tails were heading.
Before she could blink every vial that was in the container was summarily snatched before the child consumed the dust within almost like Ruby when fresh baked cookies were available in the cafeteria. Fire, ice, wind and other elements were soon consumed with each tail that correlated to their color growing longer with the tips glowing fiercely before petering out.
Weiss got over her shock when she heard snickering form her blonde teammate, who was holding a scroll to record the whole thing. Before she could say anything Naruto burped, expelling a combination of all the dust that right into Yang's face.
While the two teams were laughing at the expressions that both Yang and Weiss had, the two adults stared at the child in wonder. There were no ill side effects as far as they could see, and apparently the child could just as easily expel their power from himself and not just his tails. Before Ozpin could think more on it his scoll rang. Wondering who would be calling he swaw htat it awas a group call of Qrow Branwen, James Ironwood, and Winter Schnee. Suspecting the mysterious Margaret's hand at work the headmaster excused himself before answers. He widened the scroll to manage the three faces that popped up on his screen.
"To what do I owe the unexpected call?"
Qrow snorted in as James and Winter narrowed their eyes. It would be James who would first respond with actual words.
"I assume you have been approached by a woman named Margaret?"
"Blonde, yellow eyes, blue suit?" Qrow asked before nodding "Yeah we met. More like she ambushed me in the middle of nowhere."
"She attacked you?" Winter asked before a vein in her forehead pulsed as the Branwen man was taking a drink out of his flask.
"Not in that way. Any way's she said something about a faunus kid, nar-something?"
"Uzumaki Naruto, or Valkyrie if things are to be believed." Ozpin sent the video file his deputy-headmistress of the child eating and using the powers of the young Schnee's dust. Qrow looked between his flask and his scroll, muttering something about not being drunk enough. James eyes widened as he witnessed the rather inhuman feat of eating dust and not dyeing a horrible death by it. Winter was surprisingly…not surprised by the display. Qrow smirked as he no doubt had picked up on the same thing his leader had.
"Seems you already knew about the little fox eh Ice queen?"
Winter sent the smirking man a withering glare before answering the silent question her own leader sent her. "I met the child on a recent mission. He was accompanied by the woman, who explained that the child would be important in the days to come. He seemed to know me, but left with the woman regardless."
James rubbed the bridge of his nose as he considered the options available to him. "Despite my reluctance it seems having the child in our care would be the best option at the moment. I can sent winter and our new project if needed."
"That would be the wisest course of action. Though it was not just the child that arrived here."
"What do ya mean Oz?" Qrow asked as he had started to walk if the slight shaking of his video feed was any indication.
Margaret gave us a book that seems to follow young Naruto as e lives his life here at Beacon. And like any story…."
Winter's eyes widened as she realized what the headmaster of Beacon was saying "It could potential reveal who had been working with Roman and the White fang."
"My thoughts exactly. Qrow-"
"No need boss I'll just need to stop by Patch before I arrive."
Ozpin nodded in agreement as Qrow disconnected before turning to the two Atlas residents. "How soon can Specialist Schnee and your project arrive?"
"Despite my reluctance I need to reestablish contact with …my father. If we are to fight against our enemies we'll need his resources. And his dust for Naruto."
Ozpin chuckled before nodding as Winter exited the group call leaving the two headmasters alone.
"Ozpin, this could change the face of this shadow war we've been waging."
"Indeed, though we must remember that the future is never set in stone."
Back with the teams
After recovering form the unexpected multi-dust attack to the face Yang grabbed the book as she began reading, She wanted to continue the story, if only to get the attention off of her for the time being.0
Nora's a Mommy!
-Chapter 2-
It was nighttime at beacon, and all through the dorm. Not a student was stirring, because class left them worn. In one room specifically, rested the three members of team JNPR, though not for much longer, that is for sure.
"Knowing our luck we'll be with them before long." Blake muttered. Nothing against Nora, but she was just as annoying a wake-up call as Ruby sometimes.
Focusing on the bed to the far left, slept Lie Ren in his jammies, a simple green t-shirt with pink edging and black sweatpants. He was enjoying his rest, the beautiful peace and quiet that only happened during these late hours. Nora has been his friend for years now, something he wouldn't give up for anything, but dear Oum could she be an energetic bundle of excitement. He still has nightmares about that one time she got her hands on an Atlasian Mocha Latte, all that property damage *Shiver*.
The two teams and Headmistress looked at Nora, before shuddering with fear at a caffeine induced Nora. She was energetic as it was!
Unfortunately, his peaceful slumber was interrupted as his 'Nora Sense' patent pending, started blaring a defcon three alert. Leaning up on his bed, he looked around hoping it was a false alarm only to sigh deeply as he found her bed to be empty. 'Knowing Nora, I should be getting a new headache in five… four… three… two… annnnnd...'
"Damn, it's like my yanging sense."
For some reason even Naruto stared at the blonde bombshell in disbelief at the rather horrendous pun. Huffing in exasperation she continued.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!* "REN! REN! REN! REN! OPEN THE DOOR I GOT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW AND I FORGOT MY SCROLL!" *Bang! Bang!*
"Miss Valkyrie, I believe well need to add noise level to the list of things that need to be discussed." Glynda stared at the hammer wielder, who chuckled in fear rather than amusement.
'…there it is.' Sighing again as he stood up, he nimbly moved through the small space towards the door as his other two teammates were woke up by the excessive yelling and banging.
Despite the situation in the video they could easily recount numerous times the excitable Nora had woken them up in the middle of the night.
The count was up in the thirties at the moment.
*Yawwwwn* "What did Nora do this time?" Pyrrha, a red-headed girl with vibrant green eyes and lightly tanned skin, asked as she rubbed her eyes tiredly.
"Probably just another pancake that's spoiled and we have to have a funeral for." Jaune, a teen boy with messy blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing an adult bunny onesie,
"I thought we burned that." Yang said, rather repulsed by the boy in his onesie.
"He has several more." Ren responded, earning a betrayed look from his teammate. Ren knew that his teammate needed a different set of pajamas, if for nothing else his sake seeing a young man in a bunny onesie too many times. Pyrrha was silently in support of this idea.
said in a dull tone as he shoved his head under the pillow to block out the noise.
"Well, we're about to find out," Ren said as he grabbed the doorknob and turned it. He anticipated many thing, what Jaune suggested, maybe she found something shiny, or perhaps she pulled a late-night prank on someone. The absolute last thing he expected was to see his oldest friend standing in the doorway, covered in bits of flour, with slightly singed pajamas, while holding a faunus child, covered in dirt with glowing red eyes and several long bushy tails wrapped around her haphazardly.
"I don't think anyone would have expected that." Ruby said as she gave one of her precious cookies to a purring Naruto.
"Hi Ren! Look what I found! Can we keep him?! Can we?! Please! He so cute and knows some awesome pranks! I'll make sure to feed him and take care of him! Promise!" Nora rambled on at a rapid pace before calming down, muttering "…Though we are gonna need a lot of shampoo and conditioner…" to herself while glancing at several patches of mud that were stuck to the tails.
Blake winced, knowing several faunus that found it a difficult process to get mud and other similar substances out of their faunus features. Times that by nine for the boy. She was pretty sure it would be worth it if the comfortable Ruby, Nora and Weiss were anything to go by.
If they weren't paying attention before, Nora definitely had all three of her room/teammates attention now as she zipped past Ren and set Naruto down on her bed. "Nora… who's that?" Pyrrha asked cautiously as she discreetly reached for her scroll just in case. …What? Her teammate of only two weeks just walked into their room in the middle of the night, carrying a child clearly not her own, and asked if she could keep him.
If Nora just kidnapped a kid like she thought, then she was not gonna hesitate to call the cops on her ass.
"It would be the normal thing to do." Weiss said, before getting a cookie thrown in her face. Ruby merely pointed at Nora who was pointing at Ruby. Luckily the child betrayed Ruby, pointing with one of his tails behind her. Weiss picked up one of the bottles of empty dust to emphasize her reward for ratting her partner out.
What? She could have some fun now and then.
"Oh, this it Naruto! I found him in the kitchen cupboard eating dust while I was trying to make pancakes!"
"…"
"…"
"Aww, that reminds me, I never got any pancakes." Nora pouted as she sat down next to the dirty blonde.
Scratch that, she was calling a mental ward.
Everyone nodded in agreement. If you only knew someone for two weeks you would call them for something like this. Nora pouted, wanting the pancakes that her counterpart had forgotten.
"D-did you j-j-just say e-eating dust?" Jaune asked with a shocked face as Nora nodded happily.
"Yep, little guy thinks it's candy, watch." To everyone's horror, she pulled out a small burn crystal from… somewhere? and popped it into Naruto's mouth before they could react.
"Are you crazy!" Pyrrha yelled as she shoved Nora out of the way and forced the boy's mouth open only to see it empty.
"Jaune! Call the nurse, we… have… to…" The red-head trailed off as she realized Naruto wasn't showing any signs of pain or discomfort. That couldn't be right. Checking him over, then doing so again, Pyrrha felt her jaw hit the floor as she realized he was perfectly fine.
"See? Like I said, eats it like candy." Nora said dramatically as she got up from the floor, dusted herself off, and plopped next to while draping her arm over the red-heads shoulders.
"But… that's not… be should be… How?" Was all Pyrrha's short circuited brain could managed to get out as it tried to process what she just saw.
'That's what we want to know.' Everyone thought, having their own theories about how Naruto could consume and absorb the dust crystals as if they were candy. The majority assumed it was because of his semblance, whatever it was.
"If you think that's mind-blowing, then watch this. Hey Naruto, I'll give you another treat if you breathe fire." To prove she meant it, Nora held out a large earth dust crystal for him to see.
"Where did you…" Jaune trailed off, realizing hat she must have taken some from the pantry. For his teammate's sake he decided not to voice his realization.
Not that Glynda needed it to come to her own realization.
Nodding excitedly, Naruto turned towards the doorway since no one was there and inhaled deeply. Unfortunately, at that exact moment a certain short stature, white-haired, blue eyed ice queen that we all know and love decided to appear with an angry expression.
Yang snickered as she realized what was about to happen. Ruby tried to pat her partner on the back comfortably, which Weiss allowed due to the horror on her face.
"Do you guys know what time it is!? People are trying to sle- WHAT THE FUCK!"
"Language!" Ruby cried before wilting under the glare of her teammate.
One Weiss Schnee started to nag as she barged through the open doorway in her favorite nightie only to end up screaming at the top of her lungs when she was greeted with the sight of a blazing inferno heading straight for her.
When the flames died down, team JNPR was greeted to the sight of a smoking, blackened, and singed heiress now wearing the remains of her favorite nightie as she stood in the doorway with a gaping expression. Nora immediately fell to the floor laughing, Ren just sighed as he rubbed his forehead in a doomed attempt to stave off the rapidly approaching headache, Jaune had fainted, and Pyrrha was still sitting on the bed with an identical expression to Weiss's.
"Pfft."Ruby couldn't hold it in as she laughed at the state of her partner and expression that went along with it. Yang joined her, only to get a smack in the back of the head from a tail.
"Weiss, I thought you came over here to… what the hell happened to you?" A smooth, feminine voice asked as three girls peeked through the doorway. The one who spoke had dark black hair, striking yellow catlike eyes, and a simple black ribbon atop her head and wore a black yukata style shirt and matching skirt, the book loving Blake.
The second girl had long blonde hair that reached to her thighs and lilac eyes wearing a simple orange shirt with a burning heart in the middle and black shorts, the murderer of puns Yang.
Yang scowled as the author had described her. It didn't help that everyone, Naruto included, nodded in agreement to the authors opinion.
The final girl was a short silver-eyed teen with black hair and red highlights, wearing white baggy pajama bottoms covered in roses and a black tank top with a heart stylized beowolf, team RWBY's mascot/leader Ruby.
Snapping out of her daze, Weiss gain a furious look on her face as she looked down at her clothes and looked up again ready to chew some heads off only to drift off back to la la land from what she saw. "Uh, Weiss? Hello?" Ruby walked in front of the white themed girl and snapped her fingers several ties to no avail.
Following the white themed girl's gaze, the other three members of team RWBY quickly joined Weiss as they saw Naruto sitting on the bed with a happy expression as he sat on Nora's lap, gnawing on the dust crystal she gave him once she stopped laughing. Noticing all the eyes on her, Nora scratched the back of her head with a big grin. "Uh, okay, I can so totally explain…"
"….Youre paying for those ruined clothes."
Nora merely wilted, having an idea as to the price of said Heiress' clothes. The nshe realized it was her counterpart.
"Other me!"
"It's the principle of the matter!"
-Insert comical batman transition with Nora's face-
"…and that's what happened." Nora finished as she gently stroked the now sleeping fox faunus's head as he lay curled up on her lap. She couldn't do much else as his tails had wrapped themselves around them both tightly while she talked, leaving only one of her arms free and making them look like fluffy red mummies.
Everyone could only chuckle as the same sight was replicated with Nora and Ruby. The day's events had caught up to the young faunus, who was nodding off as the story continued.
"I'm pretty sure the whole fighting through a horde of beowolves part was complete bull, but everything else does sound legit I guess." Yang said from her spot next to Ruby and Pyrrha, getting nods all around as Nora pouted.
"I'm still wondering how he got in Beacon by himself, and do it without being noticed, those tails aren't exactly inconspicuous." Weiss stated as she stood by the doorway with her arms crossed, now wearing her backup nightie while sending occasional glares at Nora. Naruto may have been the one to almost roast her alive, but it was Nora's fault for it, he was just an innocent impressionable child… And because she found him just to adorable to stay mad at (except for the eyes, those actually unnerved her a little) not that she would ever admit it, so she focused that anger on the orangette.
"So that's why you're not mad at Ruby half the time."
"Just keep reading Yang."
"Oh, he told me that he had fallen asleep inside a storage crate after eating all the dust in it yesterday and when he woke up he was here at Beacon." Nora said, only for Weiss to interject.
Everyone scowled, having imagined the young boy encased in a crate like property. Silently Nora promised to break the legs of whoever had done that.
Elsewhere a crow sneezed, making for an unusual, if not comical, sight.
"That's not possible, the next dust delivery isn't for another week, and even then, all containers are always inspected thoroughly before and after they are delivered." She explained. Silence followed her statement, causing her to look around and see all the weird looks she was getting. "What?"
"…I get that you're a Schnee and all… but why exactly do you know the schools dust delivery schedule?" Blake was the one to ask what everyone was thinking. Weiss scoffed while sticking her nose into the air.
"Because I get my personal supply of dust delivered in the same shipments, obviously. My-"
"Oh good, you were cut off." Blake said. She would rather not sit through another lecture on dust from her teammate. Same could be said of Yang and Ruby as well.
"Yeah, yeah, we get it Ice Queen," ("Stop calling me that!" Weiss yelled) "You're rich with a lot of cool stuff, can we get back to the matter at hand?" Yang drawled out, cutting Weiss off before she could fall into one of her rants.
"Um, maybe they changed the shipment days cause of all the robberies lately, and they forgot to examine it due to the different times for shipping." Ruby suggested, before shrinking in on herself slightly as everyone turned to her.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Ruby asked as everone looked at her.
"No its just…. Nothing." Weiss said before turning her attention to the story.
"It's... possible," Weiss admitted, almost reluctantly, after thinking it over for a minute.
"Great, that's all solved, now onto our next objective! Naruto Valkyrie needs a bath!" Nora said dramatically as she pointed to the bathroom with her free hand.
*Sigh* "Nora, you can't just adopt someone like that." Ren told her bluntly as he rubbed his forehead.
"Apparently I can." Nora stated. Naruto smiled as he rested his head on Nora's lap, snuggling into her as if to reaffirm who the girl was to him.
"I don't care, he is Naruto Valkyrie now," Nora said adamantly, wrapping her arm around the sleeping boy to reaffirm this.
"Nora, Ren is right, we have to take him to the proper… and she's gone." Pyrrha said as Nora ran into the bathroom, the sound of the door locking and several things being moved in front of it echoing through the room. "This is gonna be a long night."
Naruto yawned, getting several others to yawn with him
"Almost done." Yang said after getting over her own Yawn.
-With Glynda-
The stern blonde teacher tapped her foot impatiently as she rode the elevator up. She was currently headed towards Ozpin's office, since he wasn't to be found in his room. As soon as the doors opened, she marched right into the room ready to demand those damn security camera's, only to stay quiet as she found herself facing not only the familiar grey haired, green suit wearing headmaster of beacon, but also a certain drunkard huntsman she had the …pleasure to deal with.
"It's uncle Qrow!" Ruby said excitingly.
Glynda herself sighed, recalling that most of her interactions with the male Branwen had him drunk most of the time.
"Ah Glynda, perfect timing, I was just about to call for you." Ozpin said calmly as he sat behind his desk and sipped at a cup of hot cocoa.
"Ozpin… Qrow… is something wrong? Did something happen?" Glynda asked neutrally as she walked up to them, Qrow may get on her nerves with his constant drinking and flippant attitude, but he wouldn't be here unless it was important. Her cameras would have to wait for now.
No one was brave enough to comment on that right this moment.
"Nothing too bad, sugar tits," Qrow, a man with greying black spiky hair and dull red eyes, wearing a simple grey dress shirt, black dress pants, and a tattered red cloak, said as he drank from a flask. Glynda barely restrained a growl as she glared at the man, her eyebrow already twitching slightly as she tightened her grip on her riding crop. "Our little visitor from the veil has finally arrived."
"The what?"
Glynda herself was confused as to what Qrow was referring to if the confused scowl on her face was any indication. Ozpin merely stood in the doorway, narrowing his eyes as he remembering something form one of his previous lives.
And just like that, all the anger on her face vanished, replaced with a serious/curious look faster than most could blink. "He's here? Where?" Ozpin sighed as he rubbed his temple.
"That's actually why we needed to call you… … we lost him."
*Creeeeeeeak*
Both Ozpin and Qrow shivered slightly as Glynda's face went completely blank, her riding crop almost bent in half from the pressure of her grip.
"Excuse me?"
"If you'll excuse me." Glynda proceeded out of the room, before nodding to Ozpin. Said Headmaster merely nodded back before turning his attention to the two teams. "For now I believe it would be best for everyone to get some rest. WE can continue this tomorrow after classes. If you would bring young Naruto by my office first thing tomorrow morning Miss Valkyrie."
"Of course sir."
AS the headmaster made his own exit Nora put Naruto on the smaller mattress before turning to everyone.
"Sooooo….Slumber party?"
Yang and Ruby grinned in agreement as they dragged their partners off to get their own blankets and pillows. The rest of JNPR nodded, knowing that Nora wouldn't want to leave the young Faunus alone. With Nora the last one in the room she smiled as she regarded the young faunus in his own bed. Though she had only known him for a day, she could already tell that he would be a special part of her life.
