Chapter 2

A Second Chance

The flight to Beacon was even more awkward than the fight, the four sitting and shifting uncomfortably in their seats as the other two only glanced at them, trying to get a conversation started.

"So.." Iz would start, trying to get the conversation rolling.

"I'd like to know the names of the people who almost whooped m- our butts."

"Ruby Rose!" The leader rose her hand and cheerfully said.

"..Yang." The blond woman would fold her arms and glared at them with apologetic eyes. The white-haired woman would deliever a swift shoulder to the stomach, knocking the wind out of her..

"X-Xiao Long."

Yang would clench her stomach in overexegeration as she chuckled.

"I'm Weiss Schnee." Weiss would hold out a hand to the both of them.

"So professional, as expected of a Schnee." Albert would shake her hand, while Iz would be slightly confused.

"I feel like I've heard that name before.." Iz would mumble while shaking Weiss's hand.

"The Schnee Dust company, obviously." Albert would mock.

"No, that's not it.." Iz would countinue, "So familiar though, it's on the tip of my tongue."

"Literally?"

"That was a one time magic trick, Albert, ONE TIME."

Albert and the rest would laugh at the joke, though the other four didn't exactly understand.

"And how about the black-haired beauty, hm?" Iz would glance at Blake, her eyes glued to the outside sky, only turning when she heard Iz speak.

"Huh? Oh, I'm Blake."

"So Blake's the only person who can get away without saying her last name?" Yang would complain as she placed her palms on her knees.

"Apparently so, Blondie." Albert would reply. "Iz is probably giving her a chance cause she's-"

Iz would quickly smack an arm over his mouth, snarling at him and shaking her head.

"No. You promised" Iz would growl.

"Mmph Ffmh Mmhp hmmhep" (Well, You didn't specify) Albert would let out a muffled voice.

"Yes, I did."

The team would be chuckling at their behavior. Atleast Is managed to spark a conversation?

The conversation continued from there forth until they finally arrived at Beacon, the six people stretching their limbs after that Long ride.

"Well then, I'm sure the professor is back at his office, so I Guess we should head there.." Ruby would say awkwardly as she and the rest of her team shuffled towards the main gate.

"Uhm," Albert would ask, "you seem uncomfortable, do you have anything to say?"

There would be a silence that would fill the atmosphere as Blake would turn around.

"..I'm sorry." Blake would start. "My assumption almost caused your death. I won't rush ahead next time, just forgive me, please."

Iz would jokingly glance at Albert as she chuckled.

"We consider it as a good work-out, you almost had us too."

"Wait, almost?" Yang would cut in. "I totally kicked your butt!"

Albert would let out a nervous laugh, earning him a stomp on the foot. He'd yelp in surprise.

"Wait, So you weren't even trying?" Ruby would pout as she walked closer to Iz.

"Technically. But you're Team was very impressive. You're coordination is better than most." Iz would comment as she and Albert went ahead. "Now, where was the tour again?"

The team would skim over the places of Beacon after heading towards the headmaster's office.

"Ah, Iz, Albert." The headmaster would greet them as they entered the office.

"Good morning, sir." The two would bow in unison. Ozpin would laugh at their formality.

"Well, first and foremost, welcome to Beacon Acadamey. The team groupings are already over, as such, you'll be paired with other new students." Ozpin would continue, "We just happened to have expelled a few students a day ago, as such, you'll take their room. However, their paperwork has not been registered, as such, it will take a few weeks before the Aminus allows it. As such..

you'll be sharing a room with Team RWBY."

"What?!" The group would let out in unison. "We didn't agree to this, professor!" Yang would complain.

"The decision has already been made. And plus, I'm sure you'd like some new friends."

"That we might have almost killed." Blake cut in.

"We're still here." The two said in unison as they turned to leave, going into the elevator and going down. Before coming back up again.

"Oh yeah, we don't know where your team dorm is. Cmon, let's go." Albert would say, leaving the entire team laughing.

(Soon..)_

The team have already led the duo to their dorms, wondering how to divide the beds.

"Well, each of you could share a bed with one person." Blake would suggest.

"Wouldn't it be slightly strange?" Weiss would cut in, "We'd be sleeping in the same bed as another.. stranger."

"Who has been in the forest for the past few hours. Thanks for that by the way." Iz would jokingly yet sarcastically point out.

"Though, I agree with Blake on that one."

Ruby and Yang would both nod their heads. Glancing back at Weiss.

"Okay, let's put it to a vote." Weiss would say.

"I believe we just did."

The group would chuckle before regaining their posture.

"So.." Yang would inquire "Who goes with who?"

"Not sure who'd you guys feel comfertable with.." Iz would say as she put down her holstered katana.

"Well, sleeping in the same bed as two guys would be-" Blake would decide before being cut off,

"Wait, two guys?" Iz would tilt her head.

"Yeah..? It would be awkward if-" Yang would try to finish before being cut off again.

"No, I'm not a guy." Iz would state.

"Wait, what?!" Weiss would gasp as she stared at Iz.

"I'm a girl, woman, whatever but I'm NOT a guy."

"You don't look like a guy.." Ruby would unconsciously say as Iz tried her best to give her a smile.

"I have a tom-boyish look and my vest is padded, as such, I Guess its a little harder to identify me." Iz would say as she seemed to take off her clothes.

"No, no, no! Do that in the bathroom! There's still a boy in here!" Yang scrambled to her feet from the bed and covered Ruby's eyes.

"Relax," Iz would be slightly startled, "I'm just taking off my vest, I still have a shirt underneath.."

The whole team expect for Albert would sigh in relief as Iz pulled off her murky and dirty jacket, carefully tucking it into her hands as to not touch the floor. Now with only this black, collared shirt on, Iz would have a more feminine body. The curves were much clearer than before.

She'd dust the small leaves off her clothes as she turned to leave.

"Wait," Blake would stop her. "Where are you going?"

"Someone misses me already, huh?" Iz would chuckle. "Your school has dry-cleaning, right? I saw it on the way here."

"Oh.."

Iz would walk out of he room, leaving the gang to decide on everything. She'd stroll casually down the hallway. As she made a turn into the room, she bumped and crashed into someone. Iz would hold the back of her head in pain, quickly rubbing it in getting up.

"Sorry, man. You alright there?" Iz would extend a hand to the blond man, offering help. The man nodded his head as he supported himself up, apologizing.

"I'm so sorry! It was an accident!" The man would profusely apologize.

"It's cool, man. This is the dry-cleaners, right?" Iz would inquire.

"Ah, yeah..." The man would awkwardly trail off. "So.. you don't look familiar to me, are you a transfer student?"

"New student. I go by Iz, Mr..?"

"Jaune! I'm Jaune! Nice to meet you Iz!" Jaune would shake her hand though she never extended it in the first place. Iz would awkwardly chuckle as she placed her vest into the machine, pressing the buttons and starting it. Jaune would have several other horrible conversation attempts before Iz's vest ultimately dried. They both said their goodbyes and headed in opposite directions.

Iz would head back to the room, swinging the door open... and almost collapsed. The first thing that hit her nostrils were the smell of sweat. (No, you don't understand. It smelt like rotten fish which was in the middle of decaying.) Iz would let out a small cough as she placed her vest over her nose.

"What is that smell? Ugh, it's reeks.." Iz would randomly flap her palm in front of her, trying to dust away the awful smell.

"Albert tried eating tuna and vomited it out." Ruby would respond as she covered her nose.

"Why is there even tuna here?!" Iz would complain as she grabbed a towel from her bag.

"Uhm.." Yang would stall. "We have a cat..?" She'd shrug as she said.

"Yeah right.." Albert would wipe the goop from his mouth, heading to the bathroom to wash it off. Iz would put on her vest, wiping off the vomit from the floor and non-hesitantly throwing it into the rubbish bin.

"I would have never seen the day.." Iz would shake her head as Albert entered the room.

"Don't be like that, I just can't take the strong taste of tuna.." Albert inturupted. "Besides, you can't take bittergourd either."

"That's because it's actually bitter." Iz would throw an arm around Albert, pulling him into a headlock and ruffling his hair. "But you, can't even take a lemon and water." The two would laugh together.

The two would be cut off by a small "Aww" from one of the girls, specifically Yang.

"You two are such a cute couple!" Yang would cheekily say.

"A two-sided relationship." Blake would say.

Iz would let go of Albert, the two staring at the team in total silence. Until they burst out laughing. Their laughter confused Team RWBY.

"Date?! This guy? Oh hell no!" Iz would barely make out as she clutched her stomach.

"My own sister?!" Albert would follow. "Definitely not!"

The team's jaw would drop and hit the floor.

"You're siblings?!" Weiss and Ruby would inquire in unison.

"B-But, you two look so different! Iz has black hair and Albert has grey-ish hair!" Blake would be utterly confused.

"I dyed my hair." Albert would continue. "I wanted to have a little more of.. style?"

"You were a gullible and suave kid." Iz would kid as Blake cut in.

"But, your eye colours? Arent those just contacts?"

"No? These are our actual eye colors.?"

The group would be shocked beyond belief.

"What? Yang has lilac eyes, Blake has Amber eyes, which look beautiful by the way. Weiss has.. average eyes.. And Ruby, heck, she has SILVER eyes. So what's wrong with that?" Iz would shake her head.

"Can we see though?" Ruby would ask as her face inched closer to Iz's.

Iz would lift up part of her hair, revealing dark violet eyes which shined in the light.

Albert would slick back his hair with his hand, revealing bright, neon-green eyes which looked as if they glowed in the dark.

"They are definately.. Unique." Weiss would look up from the pile of textbooks.

"Thank you, Elsah." Iz would refer to the cool, fire princess from the movie, Thawed. The whole group would chuckle aside from Weiss, her face obviously pained with annoyance.

"Well, before vomit boy decided the rug was a horrible colour, what did you agree on?"

"We agreed that Albert will sleep with Weiss and you'll sleep with Blake."

"Wait what," Blake would inturrupt, "I said no, remember?"

"Too bad, the sisters aren't gonna share a bed cause we're too cool for them." Yang would state.

"Yeah!" Ruby agreed as she high-fived Yang.

"Fine. Cmon, sis. We have to get the forest outta us." The siblings would walk down the hallway towards the shower room.

(After The Shower)_

Iz would pull on a black-shirt over her sports bra, letting it lose instead of tucking it into her pants.

"Alright, Beautiful, move over." Iz would slide into the bed as Blake would read her book, her cheeks turned a light pink.

"..Can you stop calling me that? It's.. distracting."

"So? Should I use other adjectives that describe you? Divine? Angel? Smokin' hot? Ooh~ Princess?" Iz would give a sly smile as she laid down on the pillow, leaving Blake to blush even further. Blake would attempt to ignore Iz, focusing on her book. The silence lasted for more than she expected... Until..

"..Ninjas of Love?" Iz would squint at the font of the book, "I didn't take you as the romantic type, princess."

Blake would be slightly annoyed by the nickname, but was happy to hear someone shared her interest.

"You've read it before?" Blake would inquire.

"Read it? You mean a few thousand times? Than yes. I'm an "avid" reader.." Iz would smile as her drowsy look on the pillow was slowly drifting her away. "I'm a suck-up for Rom-Com though."

"Really now?" Blake would start getting intrigued "What other books do you read?"

"How bout you first, princess?" Iz would ask.

"Seriously, stop that. The others are still in the room."

"Awh, alright. But I am interested though."

"Well, I really like the "Man with Two Souls"! It's a really interesting book about..".

All that was heard afterwards was a blur to Iz as she drifted off to sleep.

(Small Bonus Paragraph.)_

Blake found herself still awake though the rest were sound asleep. Unable to rest, she tossed and turned, though she was afraid of disturbing the visitor beside her. She'd stop when she felt something warm around her waist, it felt like a hand? Blake turned to find Iz tugging her closer towards her. Though she was fast asleep, she seemed to be smiling. Seemingly not wanting to wake up her happy visitor, she inched closer, the warmth surprisingly comforting. She tucked her head closer, her mind quickly drifting away to deep sleep.
