A/N: *Sigh* I know I know… I have absolutely no excuse for how long I delayed this chapter but I was more focused on my other fic (Spider of Peace and now Omni-hero Academia) as well as school (and now college) than this but after looking back on Crimson and what I'm planning for him and Ruby, I decided that I'm putting a little more focus back on this fic. (Plus volume 5 rekindled my love for the cute redhead)

'Grimm Thoughts'

. . . . . .

Recap: After taking in a young half breed between Human and Grimm now by the name of Crimson and giving him said name, Ozpin kept and raised Crimson in secret underneath Beacon Academy teaching him English and how to act like a normal human. Not everything went as smoothly as that though as Ozpin found out due to Crimson's Grimm heritage he had an insane unnatural bloodlust which had to be calmed by drinking blood itself.

. . . . . .

"So… what is this, or should I ask who this Crimson is?" Ozpin sighed at Glynda's aggressive tone and simply opened up the computer function on his desk and set the screen to the security camera in Crimson's room and just showed him in the middle of his room punching and kicking the air making weird faces; obviously making sound effects while he imaginarily fought whatever it was he was fighting.

"This is Crimson; you could say that technically he's my adopted son," Not to Ozpin's surprise at all Glynda looked even more furious than before.

"I need a full explanation. Right. Now." Glynda demanded but putting emphasis and space between both the words right and now.

"He's a survivor from a small village that was completely slaughtered by Grimm," Glynda remained silent with a look as if to say to carry on although she was completely unaware Ozpin just lied slightly to her face.

"Qrow found him and brought him here which is where I kept, raised and taught him most of what he knows," Ozpin stated before laughing a little at Crimson's antics on screen making Glynda sigh and lose her anger that aimed at him.

"Ozpin, you are a headmaster of one of the four biggest academy's in all of remnant and a defender of one of the relics, I'm sorry but you can't care for a child in the position you're in" Glinda said somewhat softly to Ozpin as she knew she would have to a little firm in order to get Ozpin back to running the school.

"You are right Glinda. I knew that too but chose to deny it, why? Honestly I don't even know anymore…" Ozpin sighed out slightly as he knew it was wrong for him to be looking after a child in the first place.

"You obviously had a reason for bringing him in so do what you have to do by the end of the year," Glynda stated as turned her attention away from Ozpin and headed for the elevator leading out of his office.

"Thank you Glynda, that is very kind of you," Ozpin sighed out with a small but forced smile as she left the office.

Ozpin looked at the computer screen once more to glance at what Crimson was doing before giving out a sigh.

"I guess it would be better for me to start training him sooner than I'd actually like," With a slight sigh Ozpin began to think about what he was going to do with Crimson now.

. . . . . .

The months went by slower than Ozpin would've liked as it made him think about how he was going to break the news to Crimson that he had to be sent away. But as soon as he began thinking about it more and more it was already the middle of the year; June 15th the day Crimson would begin his training.

The usual ping of the elevator made Crimson's face light up with excitement as he waited for his adoptive father to come out of elevator. As Ozpin exited the lift he was met with a tackle from Crimson that made him stagger back a little but also made him smile at the affection he was being shown.

"You seem energetic this morning," Ozpin said with a caring smile stroking the top of Crimson's head.

Crimson only pulled away from Ozpin giving him a large toothy grin show that he was excited for the beginning of his training. As Crimson moved back and sat cross legged on the floor Ozpin told him to take off the bandages that were around Crimson's forearm revealing the black Beowolf tribal tattoo on it.

"Wow! This is so cool! Why did I have to cover this up?" Crimson exclaimed in awe before asking his adoptive father the last confusion.

"I'll tell you why after we finish," Ozpin stated in calming tone while sitting in front of Crimson while drawing what looked like a magic circle with his cane.

"Now Crimson, it is important that you follow everything I tell you from this point onwards, okay?" Ozpin's statement was met with a nod from Crimson and set his cane to the side.

"Crimson, don't be scared now but we're going to do some spiritual meditation to find something inside your soul," Ozpin calmly stated while Crimson just nodded frantically in excitement.

Sighing at the boy's excited nature Ozpin put his hands together and focused on Crimson as the magic circle began to glow a bright white consuming the two of them into a completely white void. Making sure he touch or ruin anything Ozpin told Crimson to stay by his side

Looking around the void Crimson noticed something that stood out clear as day and tugged on Ozpin's jacket.

"Dad, what is that?" Ozpin turned at that and looked at what Crimson was looking at but was shocked to see large red markings all over what seemed to be a wall that went as far up and across as the eye could see.

"Oh my… Well from observation Crimson, that seems to some sort of prison" Ozpin stated while looking at the markings but was startled when one of the circle looking markings popped open showing a huge black eye with a red iris that looked around in every direction unnaturally before it focused solely onto Ozpin.

"YoU... aRe… NoT… wElCoMe… HeRe…!" A broken voice that sounded demented, scratchy and all around bone chilling voice shouted at Ozpin as he was covered in a dark red aura making his spiritual body be consumed with agony as he forced out of Crimson's consciousness.

"That was… unexpected…" Ozpin said to himself before noticing the magic circle becoming a blood red color while Crimson's unconscious body just laid there in the middle twitching and flinching randomly as his tattoo was also holding a blood red as well.

Ozpin was worried at first but knew he had to trust his son and waited outside of the magic circle to disappear and Crimson to come back.

. . . . . .

"Dad?! Dad?! Where are you dad?! DAD?!" Crimson shouted in fear, his eyes already tearing up.

"sHuT… uP… CoMe… cLoSeR…" The eye ordered at Crimson who shakily walked forward towards the eye.

"Where's my da-?" Crimson attempted to ask but he got shouted at by the eye to shut up.

"nOw… fReE...me… you… want to… see your dad again… don't you?" The voice asked as it became exactly like Crimson's but more mature and deeper; almost like it was his adult voice.

"Really?! What do I have to do?!" Crimson asked not caring about anything but seeing his father again.

"Repeat exactly what I say and place your right hand on the circle in front of you" The voice ordered as Crimson did what he was told.

'This idiotic child…'

. . . . . .

Back in the real world Ozpin's eyebrow was raised from hearing something move then saw Crismon's body slowly start to get covered in red markings that started from his right forearm and trailed up to his chest right where his heart was and up to his head.

Ozpin was about to run up to him and examine the markings but after a single step he was forced back by a bright pulse of energy before Crimson's body began to float in the air while his legs dangled below him and arms were limp but forced out to the sides like he was on a cross.

"Grimm… Contract: ... Beowolf…"

As the words were forced out of Crimson's unconscious body Ozpin could hear the spine chilling sound of his son's bones cracking and changing shape.

It was about five minutes before the light died out to reveal that Crimson had black fur along his arms and white natural Grimm armour on his left forearm, shoulders, calf, and chest. His spine had become more obvious poking out while his teeth were sharp and pointed like a feral animal; his hair had also reversed back so that his hair was red with black tips.

"Crimson?" Ozpin questioned as he saw his son's new wolf ears twitch while he gripped his cane tightly hoping that he hadn't been taken over again by the second soul residing within Crimson.

"WOW! THIS IS AWESOME!"

A relieved sigh left Ozpin's mouth as he watched his son look at his new unnatural beowolf features with a huge smile on his face and even his small black wolf tail was wagging frantically before he began running around the room on all fours like a normal wolf.

"Crimson… how did you do that?" Ozpin asked him with curiosity walking towards Crimson who had finally stopped running around.

"I just got told by this big door to say something then I woke up like this" Crimson stated simply with a grin still on his face.

"Well can you at least switch it off?" Ozpin wondered out loud as he watched his son turn back to normal with a very dim glow.

"Well that certainly makes up for having no aura" Ozpin chuckled to himself.

'It's just gonna be so much harder to say goodbye…'

. . . . . .

Five months had passed… and it was December 1st the day Ozpin had been dreading for so long; the day he had to say goodbye to Crimson.

Entering his son's room Ozpin saw Crimson in his Beowolf form gripping into the ceiling with his almost razor sharp finger nails.

"Dad!" Crimson happily shouted as he dropped from the ceiling and retracted his nails a little before hugging Ozpin earning a small pat on his head.

"Crimson… you know that talk I said we'd need to have," Ozpin said as his voice went into a little sadder tone.

"Yeah…?" turning his head slightly to the side, Crimson sat down in front of him ready to listen.

"You remember that Ruby Rose girl that comes here every so often?" Ozpin stated to the boy and already saw the excitement in his eyes.

"Ru-Ru!" Crimson shouted excitedly making Ozpin chuckle.

"Yes Ru-Ru… well you're going to spend more time with her… and less with me" Ozpin stated as Crimson's face lost its excitement.

"What do you mean dad?" Crimson asked looking up at him.

"I need you to be strong, I need you to be a human being. You're going to live without me, keep up with your training and maybe I'll see you again in future," Ozpin said with a small smile on his face.

"What?! No! I won't go… Dad?..." Crimson tried to protest but started to stumble while his vision started to blur.

"I'm sorry Crimson…" Ozpin apologised as Crimson collapsed in his arms.

. . . . . .

After his long forced sleep Crimson awoke to the smell of the fresh air and the sound of rustling trees, however the most prominent smell of all was the smell of sweet roses.

"You okay?" A sweet and concerned voice asked as when Crimson opened his eyes he saw a pair of big silver eyes.

"Dad…" Crimson mumbled as he started to sniffle.

"Crim…?" Ruby asked with concern before she watched Crimson look forward with a blank expression for several seconds before his upper lip began to quiver and his eyes began to water before tears started to seep from the corners of his eyes.

The two small children just sat there with Ruby feeling a little awkward as she didn't know how to help her crying friend so she quickly hugged Crimson tightly with sad eyes.

"Don't cry… y-you'll make me cry…" Ruby said to Crimson with tears stinging the corners of her eyes.

The instant she said that Crimson felt bad from the fact he was making her sad so he looked at her directly in the eyes with a forced smile.

"Then… I promise that I'll never make you cry," Crimson declared to Ruby quickly wiping away his tears and looking her directly in the eyes.

Ruby quickly smiled back at him, but smiled even more when she remembered that Crimson would be staying with her, her sister and Taiyang for a long time…

. . . . . .

As would would expect, a kid like Crimson suddenly being taken away from what was basically his only known family would be quite a large mental toll on the boy. Day by day he became quieter and quieter with everyone, he forced himself into a sort of isolation where he spent most of his time up in the tree house where he slept in due to there not being any sort of spare room for him to sleep.

Sometimes when Ruby would go out of her way to do something for him he would just hug her tightly before continuing what she considered meditation. But every time she did something like that, Ruby would always hear Crimson lightly crying from the treehouse which always made her feel sad to hear.

Crimson had of course kept on taking his pills to stop his rage and bloodlust from becoming to out of control; when ever he would almost run out of them he'd without fail get a box of them from Ruby's Uncle Qrow.

As the two aged Ruby had become more and more attached to Crimson, like she said when Ruby first met Crimson she ended up dyeing her so her ends were a little more brighter in red than how it normally looked.

Crimson on the other hand just let his hair grow out into a wild spiky mess as he didn't really care that much while he focused on what exactly his Grimm Contract was.

. . . . . .

Making sure that he was completely alone, a nine year old Crimson closed all ways of looking into his treehouse room and sat in the middle of it before practicing once more on what Ozpin showed him so many years previous.

Before long he was back in front of the large black Grimm wall in his Beowolf form; black furry wolf ears sticking out of his hair, nails darkened to pitch black razor sharp tips; white almost armour like scales on the tops of his hands and randomly scattered across his body while his canines stuck out from his mouth. Crimson wasn't quite sure what to do so he just down in front of the wall before speaking out. "I know you're there,"

"Well aren't you observant, now what do you want?" the voice impatiently asked Crimson not really caring for why he was back.

"I… I want to learn… because my father can't tell me anymore," looking down slightly after stating that Crimson heard the prison wall give off a form of echoed out sigh before it spoke again this time with a little more sympathetic tone.

"Well… seeing as I have nothing better to do, I guess I could give you some more information,"

Crimson's eyes brightened at that but that little sparkle of excitement died down quickly as the wall began to speak.

"You are a Human Grimm, a reject of two species filled with hate; you belong nowhere in either species. I'm not sorry how harsh that sounds, it's completely true,"

The brightness that was in Crimson's eyes had now died down completely but he still looked up ready to hear more.

"But… your abilities are a little bit more confusing. What I mean by this is that you have no aura at all meaning you'll feel pain a lot more than most huntsmen on Remnant; you are easily blinded by emotion and negative emotions fuel you so do your best to avoid large groups of people. However, you're powers are not solely based on the Beowolf Grimm,"

Crimson's animal ears twitched at that leading him to look up.

"Your powers expand across all species of Grimm, the only drawback being you can't access a Grimm's powers and abilities until you consume the blood of an alpha Grimm," that additional information got the boy interested but curious as to why he had Beowolf features and why he had weird instincts.

"Well that's because you were half Beowolf from birth so you have the basic instincts like enhanced senses; a naturally possessive attitude and… eventually you'll go into heat when you're older,"

"Crim?! Where are you?! Are you hiding again?!"

Hearing Ruby's voice echo around him, Crimson figured out she wasn't to far away so he quickly exited the void leaving him with a pulsing headache.

"There you are. Come on Crim, my uncle Qrow is here!" Ruby excitedly shouted only poking her head for a moment before disappearing in a trail of rose petals.

A small smile followed by a sigh lead Crimson leaping out of his tree house after the short red head but leaned around the corner of the house. He watched Ruby who couldn't help but leap at Qrow the second she saw him.

"Wow easy there kiddo. It's good to see you to," with a drunken laugh Qrow ruffled Ruby's hair but also noticed Crimson around the corner with a sad expression.

With a soft sigh Qrow reached into his bag and threw a large box in his direction before he began to chat with his energetic niece.

With a look of hesitation, Crimson hastily walked towards the box before noticing it was more like a case than an average box.

Picking up the heavy box and carrying it up with some difficulty, Crimson eventually set the case down and opened it up to see a note.

The small boy knew that the note was from his adoptive father but he ignored it and looked underneath to see two training swords and a extendable staff which made him smile a little as he no longer had to practice with sticks.

Underneath all the training equipment Crimson saw a lock that opened up another part underneath but it seemed to have a timed lock on it.

Wanting to know how the lock would open Crimson reluctantly picked up the note and began to read through it even though he didn't particularly care what his adoptive father had to say.

"Crimson, I hope that you're well. Again I want to apologise for what I did, but maybe one day I can explain why I did what I did. Qrow tells me that you've become quieter with each day that passes; apparently the only person you'll talk with is Ruby. Anyway I know you probably hate me for what I've done so i'll just talk about the case. It'll open up when you start attending Signal, they're basic weapons for you to use until the time is right."

'Of course he'd only give me basic weapons...' Crimson mentally sighed as he looked down at the case in annoyance before crumpling up the letter and throwing it across the room.

. . . . . .

Weeks passed and the two enrolled at Signal Academy, Ruby was receiving her own person scythe lessons from her Uncle Qrow. Crimson also started his training with Qrow as a swordsman focusing on how to use a long sword and shotgun hybrid that split into two smaller swords.

He primarily made the decision to go against his father as he knew that he would try to give him more weapons as he grew older.

Even when the two enrolled at Signal Academy Crimson never left Ruby's side no matter what. Whenever Ruby accidently got in trouble and got a detention, Crimson would purposely get into trouble just so he was in detention with the red hooded girl. Ruby never questioned why Crimson always stayed so close to her or why he never bothered to interact with anyone else; honestly she liked his attention the most.

It even built the two a reputation as the Red Reaper and Death's Shadow. Sure with a reputation like that you lose a bit social status in terms of friends but the two primarily relied on each other.

Of course, Crimson was too afraid to tell Ruby about his Grimm side he was to afraid of losing her; and that fear continued to grow the more time they spent.

Right now however both of them were walking out of Signal academy, Ruby slouched and complaining about the detention they were in while Crimson walked a few steps behind her listening to every word she said.

Ruby's outfit was a very dark themed outfit that was primarily black with the exception of the red rims, laces and most notably her long hood. She was also barely scraping past five foot in height while Crimson was towering over six foot four.

Crimson's outfit on the other hand went with a more opposite approach as he had a long red open chest jacket with with two straps that kept the jacket on him; it was quite obvious that sleeves had been cut off from the shoulders along with the black shirt underneath. The black cargo pants and boots were custom made to have red rims along the pockets, laces and soles of boots. Most notably on Crimson was the large amount of bandages wrapped around his right forearm; to stay consistent with his out fit though he used black dyed bandages.

Crimson's hair now was a lot more wild and feral than it had ever been before. It was also twice as long as Ruby's hair and covered the right of his face.

"Ugh! I can't believe Professor Stone gave me a one hour detention just for doodling! It's so unfair!" Ruby pouted with her arms crossed in annoyance.

"I mean sure you kind of deserved yours for throwing your book at the guy in front…" Ruby added with a giggle as she recalled her taller best friend getting into trouble just to make her smile.

"But now that it's over let's go get some Dust!" now shouting in excitement, Ruby grabbed Crimson's jacket in an attempt to drag him but failed miserably.

"Didn't you just get some Dust?" Crimson questioned as they had already gone to a Dust store yesterday to get her some elemental ammo.

"I… maybe… sort of… kind of… lost them…" Ruby embarrassingly poked her two index fingers together with a nervous laugh and grin placed on her face.

A sigh couldn't help but slip from Crimson's mouth as he looked at the girl with a "Really?" look.

"Pwetty pwease?" Ruby pleaded with her big puppy dog eyes trying to Crimson to break.

Crimson would never admit it outloud but Ruby was way too cute to say no to. So with a small sigh of annoyance he just began walking in the general direction of the closest dust shop. With a small smile of pride, Ruby skipped beside Crimson with a look of slight smugness as she stuck out her tongue.

With an unnoticed blush now on his face, Crimson grabbed Ruby's hood and pulled it over her head before walking a little faster.

"Hey!" Ruby pouted before she ran up beside him.

Both teens walked through the city of Patch before they entered a shop by the name of Dust till Dawn. Ruby was frantically looking all the different types of elemental dust ammo there was.

Crimson patiently waited behind her but felt an almost surge of power when he felt large amounts of negative emotion enter the store.

Before long a man in an all black suit came over to the two holding a razor sharp red sword.

"Alright you kids put your hands up!" the goon attempted to threaten to no response from both Ruby and Crimson.

The man shouted again but this time Crimson tapped Ruby's shoulder to snap her out of her trance to which she asked. "Are you robbing us?"

"Yeah!"

Ruby couldn't help but smile as she looked at Crimson who was ready to fight. Both of them punched the guy square in the chest sending him flying across the store which got two more goons attentions, guns raised and ready to fire.

With a quick raise of his hood, Crimson muttered Grimm Contract: Beowolf to gain razor sharp claws, hidden wolf ears, hidden tail and enhanced abilities. Both hooded teens launched themselves at the two goons, Ruby leading with a dropkick and Crimson throwing himself claws first.

The both of them crashed through the store's big window and looked at the rest of them in intimidation. Ruby transforming her Crescent Rose into it's scythe form while Crimson ripped the goon's gun in half with his claw hands before letting out a loud feral growl.

"Okay… go get them," a man wearing a fancy white suit with a cigar in his mouth ordered as the three other henchmen charged at them both.

Ruby took the first strike by spinning her body around her scythe before kicking the first guy in the face, knocking him out. Now initiating their tag attack Ruby pulled the trigger on her scythe quickly spinning the weapon around her swiping at her opponent's legs sending them into the air. With them both vulnerable in the air, Crimson took his signal and leapt up in the air with his separated sword handle extending out the blades.

With a flurry of quick strikes, Crimson damaged the fools just enough to keep them down and landed in front of Ruby in a crouched position just low enough for Ruby to shoot above his head and at the final goon. As the final goon fell to the ground in front white suit clad man he only let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Well you were worth every scent… losing to a little girl and her lap dog…" the cane twirling redhead quietly insulted before directly talking to the two teens.

"Well you two, I think we can all say that this has been an eventful evening. And as much as I'd love to stick around and chat I'm afraid this is where we part ways." with an incredibly smug tone about his voice, the man put out his cigar before pointing his cane at the two.

Now aware this wasn't a normal cane Crimson quickly connected both of his blades into a long sword and held it in a defensive stance just as a glowing red explosive round shot out of the criminal's cane towards them. Successfully blocking the shot with his sword, the two were surrounded by a thin layer of smoke which cleared with one slice of Ruby's scythe.

Both of them were surprised at how agile this man was as he was already across the street and climbing up the side of a building on a ladder.

"I'll go after him," Ruby declared as she used her scythe as a sort of boost up thanks to the high impact sniper that was apart of her weapon.

Crimson on the other just stated to use his sword to scrape the broken glass away from the street and even looted the dust crystals from the goons and handed it to the old man. It didn't really take long considering most of the window shards were relatively large but when he finished the old man handed him a small box.

"A gift," was all he said as Crimson smelt something odd about the box, he didn't really have long to examine it as he heard a loud aircraft engine close by.

Quickly taking the box and holstering his weapon, Crimson ran up towards the wall and began to scale the building thanks to his claws being so sharp.

Throwing himself over the edge, Crimson spotted the red Dust crystal going straight towards Ruby and drew his sword. Batting the crystal away back at the aircraft, Crimson landing in front of Ruby growling even more than earlier, even letting his eyes starting to glow.

Before either of them could give a single shot, a woman with blonde hair and glasses appeared in front of them and with a swing of something several purple balls of energy were sent flying to the aircraft.

Both Ruby and Crimson proceeded to watch as a battle between this blonde huntress and a shadowy figure on the hanger of the aircraft.

Ruby couldn't stand watching though so she quickly ran forward and began taking shots at figure. Crimson simply stayed where he was as his shotgun didn't have that much range to help.

However the hybrid quickly spotted the glowing circle that formed under Ruby and leapt with all his speed to push her out of the way letting him taking the attack instead.

"Crimson!" Ruby quickly shouted in concern before turning and rapidly shooting her sniper rifle as the ship flew away.

Before the small teen could rush to him though, the huntress saw Crimson's glowing red eyes with black scalia along with the violent growl and quickly incapacitated him before he got violent; it also managed to force Crimson out of his Beowolf state.

"Young lady, you're coming with me." in a very strict tone the huntress used her semblance to lift Crimson's unconscious body into the air.

. . . . . .

Just as he was starting to come to, Crimson could hear only two voices: one he loved with all his heart and one he completely despised.

"So you want to come to my school?" and old voice spoke which made Crimson jolt his head forward.

"More than anything," Ruby quietly admitted with a small smile before she looked to see Crimson awake and her eyes brightened massively.

"Oh my god… I was so worried," almost leaping out of her chair, Ruby wrapped her arms around him with a concerned expression.

Feeling his rage easily slip away from the teen's very scent and presence, Crimson gave out a quiet sigh and simply patted her head which made her smile.

"Glynda, could please watch over Miss Rose while I talk with this young man here?" Ozpin politely asked the Beacon huntress who escorted the short hooded girl out of the room; Ruby only just reluctantly followed Glynda due to the fact she wanted to keep hugging Crimson.

The instant that the door was closed tension as thick as brick encased the room as Crimson stared blankly at his adoptive father.

As soon as a minute passed within the room, Ozpin finally spoke up only to be met with a hostile silence.

"So how have you been Crimson?"

"..."

"I can understand why-"

"No, you don't." Ozpin was expecting the somewhat angry tone but he wasn't the harshness in his voice.

"You abandoned me, you were the closest thing I had to family and you cast me away like a bad pet," Crimson growled as he undid the bandages on his arm showing Ozpin his markings.

"This isn't a gift… It's a fucking curse!" Crimson shouted as he transformed into his Beowolf form now growling loudly in rage.

"Crimson… I'm so sorry, let me help-"

"No. You've lost your chance… I'll only help myself from now on," Crimson stated in a serious tone before Ozpin spoke up about something.

"What about Ruby? I am well aware her presence calms your… instincts," still with a calm tone and even taking a sip of coffee, Ozpin brought up the smaller teen he knew Crimson had feelings for.

"You run that goddamn school… get me a place and I'll be calm," now stood up and walking to the door, Crimson reached into his jacket and swallowed one of his pills whilst he wrapped his bandages back up.

"You should at least take this, call it a present," Ozpin stated as he indicated at the table which now had a weapons box on top of it.

Not really looking that phased by the randomly appearing box, Crimson opened it up to see a black and red long sword designed similarly to his own but it was much sleeker and perfected in its design; it could also be seen that very small roses were engraved into certain bits of the sword's metal. He couldn't help but notice the smaller knife underneath the long sword handle which was small but thick… almost as if it was designed for something to be inside it.

Crimson's teeth gritted together as his growls became louder in rage. He hated this. His father trying to win back affection and trust through petty gifts.

They meant nothing. Everything he had with Ruby was built over years and years of trust and honesty, and while Yang wasn't exactly too fond of him she even admitted that their bond was almost "suspiciously close". For the last two years, Ruby's father Tai, thought that the two were dating which he was not happy about at all.

But this proved one thing, trust is a two way streak that can easily be destroyed by something like abdomment.

Crimson grabbed the two weapons without a single word leaving his mouth. But then again, he didn't need to, the look of pure rage in his eyes spoke volumes.

Now calming himself down enough to break his Grimm Contract, Crimson left the room to be immediately tackled by Ruby who had a had a huge smile plastered on her face.

Not even giving Crimson a single second, Ruby began to talk at lightning fast speed in a extremely happy tone.

Eventually Crimson heard enough words to gather she was extremely excited about going to Beacon Academy a year early. He even had a small smile on his face from seeing Ruby so happy.

"Never change Ru-ru," Crimson smiled softly as he ruffled Ruby's hair while she giggled at the action.
