Chapter 3
A month had past by fast for the two teens, alot had happened in such a small amount of time. After leaving their short prison, Naruto and Ruby had gone back to finishing off their date. After-which, Naruto had been finally brought up the subject of their relationship, not only had they kept the secret form their fellow students but also from family. So after a long and heart-spoken conversation on the subject, the two had come to the agreement of atleast telling immediate family, Ruby's that is. However, they're hopeful outcome had been short lived, in-fact it went in the complete opposite.
Just remembering the events made Naruto shiver.

Fear was an interesting feeling, one that Naruto rarely let himself express, especially around others, however, on a night like this, where the cold, angry, and sheer murderous glare he was receiving was enough for the teen of 15 to fidget slightly. "S-so, beautiful day isn't it?" Unfortunately for the blonde huntsman in training, the glare aimed at his person only increased in hate, making him flinch back slightly, he had seriously screwed himself, maybe it wasn't the best idea keeping his relationship a secret afterall.
"You've got some nerve, kid." The owner of the glare said in a stern voice, stepping forwards so he was directing into Naruto's eyes. "What's your intentions with my daughter?" Cutting straight to the point, the 5 foot 11 tall father glared down at his fellow blonde, an angry glint in his eyes. "Hmmm?! Nothing to say?" Without letting Naruto reply, the man pushed forwards with a sneer, he wasn't going to let some two-bit scrub date his daughter!
"Dad, stop!" Tearing his furious gaze from the now heavily sweating Naruto, Taiyang glanced to his youngest daughter, his anger not faulting in the slightest. "Leave Naruto alone, he's not just my boyfriend, he's my best friend." the scythe wielder shouted, acting unlike her usual self, putting herself between her dad and her lover.
"But Ruby!" Taiyang shouted back, he couldn't believe just shouted at him, Ruby, his little princess just squared up to him over a boy, A BOY!
"No, dad!" Ruby shouted back, tears gathering in the corners of her eyes. "I finally found someone I really love, someone I can be myself around, but all you want is to push him away!" The girl continued to shout, all her bottled up emotions of keeping their relationship secret burst free. "You don't get me, you never listen!" Spinning around, the girl grabbed Naruto's hand and began to leave, ignoring her father's calls for her to stop.
However, just as the the girl was about to leave, the door to the house was opened with a shout of "Hey", a young blonde walking in with a large smirk on her face, her eyes closed to the scene infront of her. However, the force of someone pushing past her was clearly felt, as Ruby shoved past her in anger. "Wow, what the heck was that about?" Turning to her dad, Yang held back a frown, she had never seen her dad so... defeated.

Ever since that day three weeks ago, Naruto had tried his best to comfort the girl he loved, thankfully the girl's anger had not lasted for long, instead the blonde had worked hard to replace that hate for love, and what a mission that was. Three hundred cookies, that's how many Naruto had to cook for the girl to finally agree to finally meet back up with her father, something that the blonde took great pride in setting up.
"So," Naruto started, glancing to his companion in slight worry. "Do you want to knock, or should I?" the blonde remarked as he wrapped his left around Ruby.
Said red-head couldn't fight down the blush coming to her face, she still wasn't use to all the closeness between her and someone else. "Could you do it, I'll think I need to prepare myself." Resting her head on Naruto's side, Ruby closed her eyes, she was so scared of what her family was going to do, how angry were they?
"Right," Stepping forwards, the blonde gently knocked three times on the door, his body and mind ready for the onslaught that would soon come his way. "Here go's" The door to the house swung open, reavling a very exhausted and worried man, the anger that he had no longer visible.
"RUBY" In a burst of speed, the worn made scooped up his daughter, hugging her tightly into his chest. "Thank god you came back," Taiyang remarked, tightening his grip on the shocked girl. "I'm so sorry for what I did, I never meant to hurt your feelings."
"Dad?" Meeting the gaze of the man, Ruby was shocked to see tears falling down from his eyes, the sheer relief overwhelming her very being. Without much resistance, tear too soon began to fall freely from her eyes, the emotions she kept bottled up for the past month came flowing out. "I'm sorry too!"
Stepping back from the two, Naurto could help but smile, the emotions coming from the two was seriously overbearing, it took great amount of effort to not tear up himself.
"Lovely, ins't it." A rather strong grip landed onto the blonde shoulder, squeezing down onto it. "So, you're Naruto huh?" Turning around, the young Ironwood saw the same blonde haired with lilac eyes from before standing there, a small smile on her face. "So, how long have you been dating my sister without me knowing." The grip only seemed to tighten as the smile on the girl's face became alittle bit to sweet.
"Yang, leave the poor boy alone." Taiyang shouted back to the girl as he stepped towards the two, making Naruto sigh in relief. "don't thank me just yet boy, you're not off the hook just yet." Smiling at the teen, the older blonde shook his head in humour.
"R-right." Naruto remarked with nervous chuckle, he really hoped that this idea didn't backfire too hard, he still had to get his stuff ready for his stay at Beacon. "So er, are we going to talk about this now?" Backing up slightly, the blonde tried to sneak his way away only for Ruby to stop him moving, her frown making the blonde sigh. "Come on Rubes, they're gonna kill me."
Pushing her blonde boyfriend inside her home, Ruby couldn't help but sigh as her family followed after her, she really hoped she made the right decision in bring Naruto with her. Quickly setting said blonde on the only armchair in the room, Ruby snuggled into the teen's side, carefully watching her family's reaction to the action. "So, I, er, don't really know how to start."
"How about from the start, when you to first meet." Taiyang remarked, frowning at the sight of his daughter snuggling up to another blonde that wasn't him or her sister. "Did you get together right away, or was it after a while."
"Well, I guess, for me, it was love after first sight." Ruby admitted, a large covering her checks as she tried her best to hide her shame in her hand. "When uncle Qrow made us train and spend time with each other, the feelings only got stronger, until it felt like I'd burst if I held it back." The girl continued, making Naruto blush aswell, this was the first time she had said this, not even the blonde sitting next to her did.
"And you, young man, how did you fall for my daughter?"
"Well, anyone who spends enough time with Ruby is sure to fall for her" Naruto said as he smiled gently, glancing down at the smaller teen. "But for me, it was the constant care and happiness she showed me, something I've never received as a faunus." the blonde said with a frown, his eyes narrowing slightly as he saw Yang winch at the word. "Is there something wrong with me being a Faunus?"
"What? N-no!" Yang shouted back, her stuttering making the situation worse. "What I mean is, I never thought that my sister would be dating a faunus." As soon as she tried to correct herself, she instantly realised her mistake.
"Yang?!" Ruby suddenly shouted, pushing herself upwards in defence of her boyfriend. "You need to seriously apologize." The red-head remarked as she tried to quell her rage, she hated it when people treated Naruto differently because of his faunus heritage.
"I know, I know," Yang remarked as she glanced to the side in shame. "I didn't mean for it to come out like that, I'm just surprised is all." The blonde remarked in defeat, avoiding her father's disproving stare.
"Moving on," Taiyang remarked, ignoring his disappointment he felt. "How long have you two been dating, I've not even seen you before?" the man remarked, and it was true, he'd not once seen the boy, or any boy for that matter, around his daughter, in and out of school.
"A year and 2 months," Naruto and Ruby remarked in unison, smiling as they watched the two infront of them stare in shock. "And 7 days," Ruby quietly whispered to herself, hoping to god that no'one heard her.
"A y-year." The father couldn't believe it, the two teens had been dating for over a year and no'one knew?! "How did you two manage to keep it a secret for so long, surely someone knew?" Taiyang asked, his shock still present in his system, making the two shake their heads. "B-but how?"
Chuckling slightly, Ruby rested her head on Naruto's shoulder, her smile becoming larger. "Honestly, Naruto and I are sparing partners, and no'one believed that the nerd of the glass would ever date, let alone mister cold and broody over here." Ignoring the blonde's pout, the red-head let go of Naruto's side, and instead focused on bringing Naruto's arm around her shoulder. "I doubt they'd believe me even if I had tried to tell them."
"Really," Finally collecting herself, Yang looked at the two in shock, and with a hint of jealously, before looking towards her dad for support. "Surely Uncle Qrow and your friends were suspicious, I mean, you do have some close friends."
"We had a back-up for most things," Naruto remarked with a smile, thinking back to the times where he and Ruby had to spew some rubbish to get their class-mates off their backs. "For one, I'm a far better when it comes to academic studies, so me tutoring her was one of the most believable excuses we had." the teen confess, much to the horror of Ruby. "Oh, and don't get me started on how bad she was in EnMHHHH" Before the teen could continue, Ruby shoved her hands over the teen's mouth, muffling the teen's speech.
"So that's why your grades suddenly shot up," Taiyang remarked, in all honestly he had suspicions but he never thought a boy would be the reason for the sudden jump. "We'll I guess I should thank you then, Naruto." The man remarked, it would seem that the boy was a good influence on his princess afterall. "However, that doesn't mean you are free to go just yet, I still have one more question to ask you." The man remarked with a serious look in his eyes. "What is your intentions with my daughter?"
"Honestly speaking, I truly do love your daughter, and if it comes down to it, I will give everything to protection." Looking down at Ruby, Naruto couldn't help but smile gently, he really did love her. "What I'm trying to say is that, my intentions is to be there for each step of her life." The blonde continued truthfully, ignoring the blushing girl in his arms, as he matched Taiyang gaze for his own.
"Well," Taiyang started, his emotions now quelled enough for him to smile at the teen. "you have my blessing then."
"AHHHH?!" Both Ruby and Yang looked to the father in shock, disbelief written on their face. "Really?!" Ruby asked in shock, happiness overwhelming her body as she dragged herself from Naruto's grasp. "Really really?" Seeing her dad nod, the girl's eyes lit up as she brought Naruto up from the chair. "Thank you!"
Laughing, Naruto spun the smaller girl round in a hug, a large smile on his face as he gave laughed. "I love you, Rubes." Much to the shock of the people around them, Ruby took the moment to kiss Naruto, her lips pressing against her lover's.
"I love you too, Naruto."
"Well, I still think he has to show it first, before I give my blessings." The sharp comment from Yang chilled the loving feeling that Naruto and Ruby felt, replacing it with shock. "I mean, words are just are that, words." She continued, her past experience with love overclouding her judgement of Naruto. "I won't give up my sister until you prove those words." Yang shouted, storming past the two in a annoyed huff, before closing the door of the living room with a slam.
"What was that about?" Naruto remarked, glancing down at Ruby, only to see a frown lingering on the girl's brow. "Ruby?"
"It's nothing..." Ruby remarked as she looked away from the closed door, smiling gently up at the boy. "Lets get my stuff, we need to get ready for beacon."
"Beacon?" Taiyang remarked, confused as to what his daughter meant. "But you're to young to be going to Beacon." Worry writing all of the man's face. "How did you get let in anyway?!"
"We were comforted by the headmaster of Beacon Academy, he offered us a place, and I didn't want to slow down Ruby's dream because of my selfishness." Naruto remarked as he tapped Ruby's shoulder, smiling gently at the girl. "Plus, this one wouldn't let me live it down if I passed up the chance."
"So, you're leaving in a month with Yang? Taiyang asked, shocked that not only was Yang leaving for beacon, but so was Ruby, he was losing two daughters now. "Right well, I guess I better order them special cookies you love so much." Huff, the man left aswell, leaving the two 15 years old kids by themselves.
"I'm sure your sister didn't mean what she said." Naruto remarked, glancing down at Ruby's worried face. "She's probably just projecting, it happens sometimes." the blonde said as he hugged her close to him, a small smile coming to his lips. "It'll pass, just you wait."
"Um." Nodding at the blonde, Ruby let her smile come to light, her worries all but gone. "Yeah, you're right, I better go get ready, don't peak okay." The girl shouted as she rushed out of the room, leaving Naruto behind in the living room.
"I hope this all blows over soon,"
The month had passed crazy fast, the emotion high had calmed down some, the arguing that happened for the first couple of days was cut short when Yang decided to put her aside, atleast for now. So, with all that being said, the family of three alongside Naruto, spent what little time they had left with each other before they left.
Excluding Yang, Naurto had really connected with the family, Taiyang was a great person once you got past the mood swings of random anger and childishness, his concern for family was certainly something to marvel at. However, the two still clashed sometimes, mainly over the fact if Naruto should cook, or if Taiyang should order, both preferring their methods over the other.
Then it came to Yang, it would seem that even after a month of constant contact the young blonde couldn't come to terms with Naruto dating her sister, it was just to much for the poor girl to complete comprehend. That ofcourse didn't stop the boyfriend from trying to connect with her, even if he wasn't as direct as most would be, he still tried, much to Ruby's joy.
Speaking of said sparky red-head, the girl hadn't really left his side from the moment he told her he loved her, if anything she was alot less nervous about them dating though, she would happily say that they were together, even to her fellow classmates, much to their shock.
Even with the slight change though, nothing could change the feelings of nervousness that Ruby had been feeling, it was holding its grip on her stomach like a super tight band, restricting her feelings on the matter. So, as Yang, Naruto, and Ruby made their way onto the large bullhead, the red-head couldn't help but freeze, her eyes locking with her dad's as the stairs to the vehicle slowly started to retract.
Taking in a large gulp of air, the girl but her hands around her mouth in a cone shape. "I love you dad!" In a mighty cry, the girl started to wave her hands to her dad, tears slowly trailing down her checks.
Ignoring the people around him, Naruto brought the girl into a sidewards hug, wiping the tears from her checks as he did so. "Don't worry Rubes, we'll be back in no time, Beacons' only a little while away."
"Yeah, I guess you're right..." the teen remarked, glancing around the packed bullhead she was currently in. "I hope I won't stand out to much though." The girl joked, trying to hide away behind the teen. "I mean, its not like I'm two years younger than everyone else."
"Hey, you got me and Yang, you'll be fine." Naruto said as he tried to comfort the teen, getting a nervous glance for his troubles. "But for now, you'll have to stick with your sis, I've got to get a feel for the students here." Taking Ruby's hands into his own, the blonde gave the smaller teen a kiss before turning around and walking away.
Seeing the chance for some sister time, Yang smirked as she wrapped her arms around the smaller girl, squeezing her while smiling brightly. "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to beacon with me!" Groaning in pain, Ruby glanced up at her sister, it was good to have her back and all, but the hugs could be alittle less painful.
"Please stop..." The girl gasped out, she was losing oxygen way to quickly, so much so that her skin was becoming even whiter.
"But I'm so proud of you!" Yang shouted in praise, hoping back from the smaller sister, going onto her tip-toe to push the point across.
"Really, Sis, it was nothing." The girl said with a sigh, she really didn't want the attention to be on her right now, not with Naruto scouting out the other students.
"What do you mean?" Shaking her head, Yang smirked down at her sister, she was way to humble sometimes. "It was incredible!" Glancing to the side, Yang tried to locate Naruto, she really needed his back-up on this. "Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees."
"I don't want to be the 'bee's knee', okay?" Seeing more people stare at her direction, Ruby blushed nervously, trying to hide herself inside her cape. "I don't wanna be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."
"What;s with you? Aren't you excited?" Yang asked, shocked that her sister was still the nervous girl she was back before she was going out with someone, how could not dating Naruto atleast put some confidence into the girl.
"Of course I'm excited..." Ruby remarked, glancing down at the floor. "I just..."
"Need to be more confident." Naruto remarked, wrapped his arms around the weapon nerd's stomach, making the girl jump. "So what if we got moved ahead two years, it shows that we're good at what we do, Rubes."
"I just want people to think I'm special, or something." The girl said in a deflated tone, her nervousness once again taking hoping.
Seeing the look in the girl's eyes, Yang walked up to her and wrapped her around Ruby's shoulder. "But you are special."
"You can say that twice." Naruto said as he took Ruby's right side, grasping the girl's smaller hand with his larger one.
"...The robby was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities." The touching moment between the three was cut short when the news was suddenly increase in volume, drawing their attention to it. "If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the Vale Police Department."
"I knew I recognized that douche." the blonde said blandly, dodging to the side as Ruby tried to tap his head. "Hey, what was that for?"
"Language," Ruby said with a slight narrowing of her eyes, much to the collected humour of those watching. "Plus, look who it is." pointing her finger to a hologram that replaced the new's hologram.
"Hello. and welcome to Beacon."
"Who's that?" Yang asked, confused as to how her sister knew who it was.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch." The women was definitely not someone neither Ruby or Naruto could forget, her strict and cold approached left quite the mark on anyone subjugated to it. "You are among a privileged few who have received the honour of being slected to attend this prestigious academy." The women continued, acting like the complete opposite of her normal self. "Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsman and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it." Ah, there is was, the cold glance and words the women was known so fondly for. "You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."
"Well, that was unlike her," Naruto remarked, glancing away from the girl to look into the open scenery. "Hey Rubes, look at this."
Ruby, hearing her name, looked to where Naruto pointed, only to gasp in awe. "Wow..." The girl couldn't help but put her hands against the glass, a smile coming to her face as she spotted some noticeable places. "Look, you can see Signal from up here." She continued as she stared down in happiness, her nervousness all but gone at this point. "-I guess home isn't too far after all."
"Beacon's our home, now." Yang remarked, smiling slightly as she patted the girl's back, before stepping back from the girl. However, at the same time, a boy came running past her, vomiting into the can beside the poor blonde.
"Aw, gross Yang, you have vomit on your shoe." Ruby shouted, taking a step back from the girl.
"Gross, gross." Yang shouted, rushing towards the girl to whip the vomit onto the girl's hod.
"NOOOOO!"
Smirking at the two, Naruto couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, his new life a Beacon was going to be a blast.
