Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY!

Discovery

Ozpin just waited patiently for the reaction. It was completely worth it when he saw Rifts eyes widen then look over at Ruby, Who still had no idea. "Are you sure Professor? My name backwards doesn't prove much." Rift said still wide eyed. "Oh I have a lot more than that, your name backwards was just the most fun" Ozpin replied with a laugh. Ruby was still completely clueless. Why does Rift look so amazed? So what if our parents had the same name… And that his name backwards… spells… My name. Ruby suddenly completely understood everything and looked over at rift with a look of pure surprise. Like Rift said before Ruby asked "Are you sure?" She was overjoyed when Ozpin nodded. Oh my god, i totally had a crush on my brother. Ruby screamed in her head, but hid the fact. She looked over at Rift who looked over at her, they both had the biggest smiles Ozpin had ever seen. "I have a brother! This is amazing! I can't wait to tell Yang and everybody else!" Ruby was now going on and on about how cool this was and how they had a lot of catching up to do. But Ozpin interrupted her, "I'm sorry Ruby, but you will have to catch up later, right now you must be getting to the Auditorium for team assignments." In her happiness Ruby had completely forgotten about teams. She was now frowning. "Oh come on, I just found out I have a long lost brother. Can't team assignments wait?" She asked with a sad look on her face. Ozpin was about to open his mouth when he was stopped by Rift who started talking first. "Ruby I am as excited as you about this." He said with a grin. "But you can't just leave your school duty's to catch up, we still have all day after" He said with his grin turning into a smile. "Fine, but after that, I am going to talk the heck out of you" Ruby said with a smile. She then looked at Ozpin, "Come on Professor, let's get this over with" She said excitedly, then dashed of leaving a trail of rose petals.

The team making ceremony seemed to take forever. Ruby just sat there fidgeting the whole time. "What are you so excited about?" Yang asked, noticing that Ruby was practically jumping in her seat. "Tell you after" Was her only response. She was smiling madly the whole time so Yang new it was something good, but she had no idea just how good it really was. After the whole ceremony Ruby just dashed off. "She didn't even say she was happy to be on my team" Yang said with sadness in her voice. "And she didn't even mention how she is team leader" Blake added.

Ruby was running as fast as she could around the school to find Rift. After a few minutes of looking she finally found him sitting on a bench near the back with his eyes closed and his headphones on. Ruby dashed over to his side. "Hello Rift!" She exclaimed. This made Rift jump a bit and look over at her. "Man, you can yell loud" Rift said, taking off his headphones. "So, big brother" She giggled as she said this, and Rift couldn't hold back the smile that crept onto his face. Before they could start talking about anything, they heard a yell to their left. "You left use, for this guy!" Yang yelled with Blake trying to keep up behind her. Ruby's eyes widened. In all her happiness she completely forgot to tell Yang. "Yang wait, I have something to tell you" She said. "Before you punch Rifts face in" She added, noticing the look in her sister's face. "This better be good" Yang said flatly. Blake being silent the whole time, finally spoke up. "I think it is" She said this because she had noticed just how happy Ruby and Rift looked. "Well, ummm… I don't really know how to tell you this but-" She was cut off by Yang who yelled "You two better not be dating!" This made Rift laugh. "What!? NO, No that's not it at all!" Ruby said with her cheeks turning red. "Oh just get on with it" Blake said behind the girls, she was now growing impatient. "Well, Rift is. He is, he is well, my brother" Ruby finished, as she looked down. Yang just looked at Ruby then at Rift then back to Ruby. "What?" She asked, extremely confused at what was happening. "Well, you know when Ozpin called us down to his office? Ya, that was so he could tell us." Rift said behind Ruby, he too looked a bit red. "And you're sure about this?" Yang asked. "Positive" Ruby answered.

It had been a few minutes after the whole Rift being Ruby's brother scenario, and now Yang and Blake were also sitting on the bench with them. "So how long did you know my-" Ruby paused. "Sorry, our Mother, how long did you know our mother?" She asked Rift. "Well I knew her till I was four, then for some reason I had to move. Still have no idea why though" He replied. "I don't remember much about her" He added with a sad look on his face. "That's no problem" Ruby said with a happy look. Suddenly she had an idea. She reached into her bag for a second then pulled out a small piece of paper. "What's that?" Rift and Yang asked in unison. "Well, Yang I never told you this but, I have a picture of my mother" She said holding up the photograph. "Why would you not tell me that?" Yang asked, as Ruby passed the image to Rift. Rift took the image like it was one of the most precious gems in the world. He looked at it and sat back on the bench. As sigh escaped his mouth. "She's even more beautiful then I remember" He said with a smile. This also made Ruby smile. "How cool is this?" She said, earning a puzzled look from everyone. "Well I thought I was one of the last of the Roses" She said. "But now I have a big brother" She said looking over at Rift, then she did something that surprised everyone, including herself, she started to cry then hugged Rift. Rift was a bit surprised at the act but then hugged her back. "It's nice to know I'm not alone anymore to" He said in a soothing voice to Ruby. Yang and Blake were just sitting behind them smiling, suddenly an idea popped into Yang's head and she grabbed her phone. Click. Ruby stopped hugging Rift to look at where the noise had come from. "Yang you better delete that now!" Ruby yelled. "Not a chance" Yang said with a huge grin on her face.

It had been a few weeks since Beacon had started, and everyone was getting accustom to the life there. Aurora was staying with Rift. Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake were all sharing a living quarters, and life was overall good. Ruby was sitting in her combat class which she had with her whole team. Rift was also there to see what was happening in some of the classes, though he was sitting at the back with his headphones on. Everyone was just waiting for Professor Goodwitch. After a few minutes of waiting she finally seemed to show up. "Sorry for the wait children, I had some other matters to resolve" She said with a stern voice. "I see we have a new student" She said, raising an eyebrow at Rift. He just saluted with two fingers towards her. She did not seem amused with the gesture. She looked down at her _. "Now, since we have an experience fighter in our class today he may be able to show use some of his skills" Goodwitch said, smiling when Rift looked at her with a confused look. "I could take him down in a blink of an eye" said Cardin. Now, Cardin was not one of Ruby's favorite person in the world but now she really didn't like him. He's so full of himself. Her thoughts were cut off by Goodwitchs voice. "If you're so sure why don't you face him in a one on one duel?" She asked with a smile. Cardin looked up in surprise. "W-well ya totally" He said looking up at Rift who was still looking down at his Dustplayer. "Well what do you say Rift, are you ready to get pummelled into the ground?" This sentence made Goodwitch smile even more. Rift just sighed, got up and walked down to the platform followed by Cardin. "You're not even going to use a weapon?" Cardin asked with a bit of sadness in his voice. "Of course I am" Rift replied.

Cardin looked confused. "Ok, I don't see a weapon" He said. Rift just smiled. Come to think of it Ruby had never seen Rifts weapons, she was getting curious. Rift just reached up and took his headphones off and held both ear pieces in each hand, then he crushed them. Ruby was surprised at the act, then surprised at what happened. In a blink of an eye Rift had two swords in his hands, not just swords though, they were very odd. They were very futuristic looking and were grey, orange and black. The oddest thing though, was that were the sharp part of the blade should have been, there was nothing. Just a rectangular indent. Suddenly Rift pulled a wire that was connected to his Dustplayer and plugged it into the bottom of his right sword. What happened next almost made Ruby squeal, Remember that rectangular indent? Well now in the indent had what looked like a sting of energy in it. Then a smaller string of energy started to move up and down, almost looking like it was following the beat of a song. That's when she noticed it, just the faintest of sounds. It sounded like, dubstep. This is going to be awesome! Ruby thought as she watched Cardin take a step back.

"You ready?" Asked Rift, with a wide grin on his face. "Y-yay, totally" Replied Cardin. With that Goodwitch walked between them. "Three… Two… One… Duel!" She yelled as she jumped out of the way. Rift jumped into the air with amazing height. How did he go so high?! Ruby thought. Wow, how have I not asked him about his weapons and Semblance? She stopped thinking when she heard a crash. As she looked back Rift was back in the air, but with only one sword. Ruby looked up a bit to see the other sword spinning up a few feet ahead of Rift. Suddenly he just moved up with speeds that seemed almost as fast as Ruby, then he did something that surprised everyone in the class, with his sword spinning in front of him, he kicked it down with his heel sending it flying towards Cardin. Cardin had no time to react, and was hit Square in the chest witch sent him flying into the nearby wall. As the dust from the crash settled everyone looked to see if Cardin was still standing. He wasn't, he was actually stuck in the wall. "I give, I give" Said Cardin with a defeated look. Rift who was now back on the ground, walked over to him. He reached out a hand and yanked Cardin out of the wall, then picked up his other sword and walked to the back of the class. Everyone was speechless, the fight had lasted 15 seconds at most, and Cardin hadn't even touched Rift. The class erupted into cheers.

After class had ended Rift was the first one to get up and start to walk out. Ruby was still packing her things when she noticed Rift start to leave. "Hey Rift, wait up for me" She called after him. Rift looked behind him, "Better be quick" He said with a smile. Ruby hurried to pack her things and was soon done, then she ran to catch up with Rift. "That was soooooo cool!" Ruby exclaimed. "You were all like, Whoosh, and then Cardin got stuck in the wall and… and, that was awesome!" Ruby was smiling madly at Rift. All these complements were making his cheeks heat up. "Ya that was pretty awesome" Came a voice from behind them. Ruby turned around to see Yang, Weiss and Blake standing behind them. "Hello guys!" Ruby said with enthusiasm. "Sorry for dashing off like that but I had to talk to Rift about his epic swords" She said with her smile widening. "You never even mentioned my swords in all that talking" Rift said with a grin. Ruby's cheeks turned red. "Oh. Well Rift can I see your swords?" she asked with her smile returning. "Sure" He said as he took his headphones off. Then, like he did in class he crushed them, and in a blink of an eye he was holding two swords. "What are they called?" Ruby asked, while looking closely at the one Rift had handed her. "SoundBreaker" He said with pride in his voice. Weiss spoke up for the first time since the conversation started. "You have a very odd way of fighting, were did you learn it?" She asked. "Sorry Weiss, but I can't say" He said with a smile, Weiss just frowned. "Well it seems very useful, I would like to know some day" She said as she started to walk away. "Well, that was fun and all but we need to get to our next class Ruby" Said Yang. Ruby frowned. "Oh ya I forgot, well it's the last class of the week so let's get it over with" Her smile back on her face as she dragged Yang behind her, Blake following closely. Rift just smiled. "Well I have had a very nice day, but I'm going home" He said to Ruby when she was about half way down the hall. "See you tomorrow then" Ruby answered with a smile. "Wait, Rift. Do you live in that cabin on the edge of the cliff?" Ruby asked, her cheeks growing red yet again. How have I never asked this? "Nope. That's the storage cabin, I live a bit further into Vale, only a ten minute walk to get hear" Rift said with a smile as he walked away.

Rift had been walking for what seemed like hours. He did not go straight home after Beacon like he told Ruby, he had decided to go for a nice long walk around Vale, it was a beautiful place after all. Rift continued walking down the street think about what happened today, when his thoughts were cut off by a slight noise to his right. He looked over to see a dark alley. This can only end well. Rift thought to himself as he started to walk towards the noise, it sounded like someone struggling. As he got close he could start to faintly hear voices. "I said all your money!" Said a male voice. "That's all I have, I swear" Said a female voice. Rift started to walk faster and soon reached the alley entrance. Rift squinted slightly to see two outlines a few meters away from him. He cleared his throat, this seemed to get the attention of the man. Rift could now see slightly better as his eyes adjusted to the dark, he the noticed that the man was holding a knife to the woman's stomach, no not a woman, a girl no older than ten. "Is there a problem here?" Asked Rift. "None of your business, move along" Said the man. "Well this is definitely my business, you're holding a knife up to a poor girl. What kind of man does that?" Rift said, smiling slightly as the man started to walk towards him. "Now you move along before someone gets hurt" Said the man holding his knife up to Rift now. Rift noticed that the girl had not left yet. "Hey, this is your chance to go" He said to her. The girls eyes widened and she started to run in the opposite direction. "Now you've done it kid, I guess I'll just have to take your money instead" Said the man walking towards Rift with his knife held high. Then the man blinked, the next thing he knew Rift had SoundBreaker in his hands. "Now, you want to do this the easy way" He paused to smile "Or the hard way"

After Rift had dealt with the man, no he did not kill him he just nocked some sense into him, he started to walk back to his home but was stopped by a voice behind him. "Thank you for saving me back there" Said the voice. Rift turned around to see the girl that was in the alley. "No problem" Rift said with a smile. "My names Becky, by the way" the girl said smiling back at Rift. "Rift" Replied Rift. "Well thanks again" Said Becky as she started to walk away, Rift called after her. "Becky, next time stay away from dark alleys" He said with a grin. She just grinned back and waked away.

Rift was nearing his home. He did not want to stop his walk, it was such a nice day, that's when he notice a little book shop down the street next to his. "Never seen that one before" He said to himself. "May as well check it out" He started to walk towards it. When he had finally reached the front of the book shop he noticed just how small and nice it looked, he looked up at the name "Crossroads" He said, "Nice name" He was now smiling. I have a feeling I'm going to be here a lot. He thought to himself. Rift walked in and heard a little bell noise. The librarian looked up from her book and smiled at Rift. "Welcome young man, what may I help you with?" She asked in a sweet voice. "Oh, nothing I'm just looking" He responded. The old lady just smiled and went back to her book. With that Rift walked into the maze of books. He had no idea how long he was there for, reading a book here and there, but it certainly was not long enough. "Excuse me young man, but we are closing soon" Came the librarian's voice from the front of the book store. Rift got up from where he was sitting and thanked the librarian for letting him stay so long. "Oh it was my pleasure, I don't get very many people hear anymore, plus you are I nice young man" She said with a smile. "Well I may bring one of my friend here tomorrow, she loves books, plus this place is pretty nice" He said smiling back. Rift thanked her again and left Crossroads.

Rift was now in front of his house, "Man, it's been a long day can't wait to sit down on my couch and watch some TV" With the thought of that he walked in. The first thing he noticed was that Aurora did not seem to be home. "Wonder where she went" he stopped his thoughts there "No that's none of my business." With that he walked into his living room. That's when he noticed it, something that brought a smile to his face, Aurora was sleeping on the couch with her wolf ears twitching once in a while. Ever since she moved in with Rift she was hiding her special ears less and less. Rift was still just smiling at her. "Oh well, I'll watch TV tomorrow, I'm actually sort of tired" Then he walked into his room plopped down on his bed and fell asleep.

Well there goes another chapter XD I really liked this one actually, although I can't write action scenes sadly. But that's no big deal.

Next week's chapter is going to be about Rift and Aurora living together, I'm really excited for it, Becky may be important latter on so don't forget her. Also Crossroads is a little book shop I have always dreamed of visiting, so I just had to add it in, I think I'm going to use it a lot more to!

Well, see you next week with my next chapter, it is going to be a really relaxed chapter for once so ya. Leave a review, good, bad they all help, and see you next week :D
