Guest: Why thank you dear guest. You know how to flatter a lady. If you want to meet Moximus S and Moximus T, you'd have to wait until later chapters.
Weiss and Whisper were busy overlooking Ruby doing her homework.
"Boo…why is homework so boring and tedious?" She grumbled.
"Either that, or you'll have to be my guinea pig for my Glyph experiments." Weiss said.
Just then, Yang entered with her aviator sunglasses and a trench coat.
"Hey sis. Ice Queen's got your reins?" Yang asked.
"Quiet you. Why're you wearing that?" Weiss asked.
"Oh nothing, just got a really big surprise for my baby sis here." She pulled out a box with the logo 'Vale's One and only!'
"Yaaaang, how many times do I have to ask you not…to…say…that…" Ruby whined until her voice diminished as she saw the box. She immediately zoomed towards Yang and snatched the box out of her hands.
"OHMIGOSH! AREN'T THESE THE INFAMOUS VALE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE AND CREAM FILLED DOUGHNUTS THAT TAKES THREE WHOLE HOURS TO GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE?!" Ruby squealed in delight.
"Yep. Took a little convincing and waiting to get me one of these." Yang smiled as Ruby hugged her. "You're the best sister ever." She glomped.
"I'm going to take a shower. See ya." Yang walked out the room to the bathroom stalls as Ruby skipped back to her seat.
"Are they really that good?" Weiss and Whisper asked.
Ruby ignored them and took a bite from one of them. As she did, she squealed internally as she beamed with stars. "MMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Both eyed at the box and decided to take a bite. Like Ruby, they shivered in ecstasy.
"To think such a thing existed…" Weiss was speechless by the taste.
"Oh my! Eating this makes me want to ascend!" Whisper floated in a gleeful mood.
After finishing their respective doughnuts, they rested a bit till Whisper remembered something.
"Ruby, Weiss, as your Yo-Kai butler, I'll let you in on a very important piece of information." That caught Weiss' attention.
"Some Yo-Kai are very common, but others are actually quite rare." He explained.
"Rare? Tell me more Whisper." Weiss asked.
Whisper pulled out his pad and started searching. "Ok, here it is." He showed the pad to the White Rose duo. "The Noko."
"Noko?" Both asked.
"Noko's are mythological Yo-Kai that has the body of a giant snake and are known for being able to jump up to 1 metre in distance followed immediately by a second jump while still in the air."
"Impressive, King Taijitu's can jump, albeit slightly." Weiss said.
"King Taijitu? What's that?" Whisper asked.
Weiss pulled out her scroll and shows Whisper a picture of a King Taijitu.
"Whoa! It's almost the size of a Slimamander!" He exclaimed.
"Slimamander?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. Anyway, they are also said to have a taste for alcohol."
"Hehe, Uncle Qrow would love to meet the Noko one day."
"Unfortunately, no one has ever confirmed an actual Noko sighting. Like myths, they're just like Kappa…" Whisper continued blabbering, until Weiss noticed something at her side.
It appears to be a small yellow snake that has a heart on its tail, a four leaf clover on its head, and appears to be blushing.
"Um, Whisper? There's one I think." Ruby got Whisper's attention.
"Hah, no Ruby. As if you've seen one before. Now as I was saying…" Whisper shot down before he continued.
"But it doesn't seem that-wait oh my lord two appeared." Weiss was shocked by the presence of another Noko.
"How dare you. Noko are really rare. It's like as if the moon was whole instead of shattered." Whisper continued as two Nokos became four.
"But they're here."
"No they're not."
"We're telling the truth!"
"That's a lie!"
The more they argued, the more Nokos appeared. It went on until Whisper reached his breaking point.
"I'm getting really annoyed. You didn't see a Noko, got it?!" Whisper yelled.
Weiss, also annoyed, grabbed Myrtenaster and froze Whisper in a block of ice.
"Now stay there and cool off." Weiss huffed as a Noko got close to her and gave her a medal of a Noko, while Ruby was cuddling the Nokos with Zwei.
Currently, Team RWBY are in class break as they continue talking until Team JNPR walked up to them.
"Hey guys." Jaune called out.
"Hey Vomit Boy." Yang replied, causing Jaune to slump. They noticed Jaune and Pyrrha's hands are holding together.
"Gah, will you quit that name?"
"Nope, first impressions are long lasting."
"Anyway, have you all heard rumors of a human faced dog wandering around the city at night?"
"Human faced dog?" All members were curious.
"I don't think such a thing exists, Jaune." Ren said.
"But I think he's telling the truth." Blake defended.
"C'mon Blake, don't tell me you believe this mumbo jumbo." Yang said.
"I even heard the same thing from a few students in class, they said they saw it after late night classes."
"Then why don't we investigate?" Ruby said.
"You crazy Ruby?!" Jaune yelled.
"Nope, but if we get to the bottom of this mystery, we might solve it." Ruby pulled her teammates closer. "Besides, it could be a Yo-Kai at work." She whispered.
"Alright Ruby, I'm game." Yang replied.
"The last time they said it appeared was around 7." Blake said.
"Let's do this! Operation: Dog Catcher starts tonight!" She cheered.
Later that night…
As the final class of students disperse, Team RWBY and Whisper took the chance to venture outside the deserted streets of Vale.
"You've got to be especially careful this time, girls." Whisper said.
"Why's that?" Ruby asked.
Whisper pointed at their Yo-Kai Watches. "Your knight friend Jaune saw the dog without the help of a Yo-Kai Watch. That means we're facing a Yo-Kai with immense power. Which means you could have a formidable enemy on your hands."
"So this human faced dog is so powerful that we don't need a watch to see it?" Yang asked.
Whisper nodded. "Like werewolves, some say that a human faced dog bites its victims to turn them into human faced dogs themselves."
As they were talking about it, they saw a dog underneath a lamppost.
"Is that it?" Weiss said, making Blake hide behind Yang.
However, since they're in front of it, they couldn't see their face.
"Phew, it's just a poodle…" Ruby sighed, Blake still hiding behind Yang.
"Excuse me," was heard from the poodle. "But I prefer to be left alone."
RWBY and Whisper paled as they yelled in fright of the human faced dog. He had chocolate brown fur, tan skin, a green ghost-like swirl atop his head and another as a tail, and small poodle paws with pink paw pads. He also wore thick, black rimmed glasses and had a dull red stripe on his face and his left eye was partially shut.
"He's…a dog with a man's face…super creepy..." Weiss commented.
"An old man? Yes, that is indeed true and I'm sorry." He bowed, but suddenly started giggling creepily, unnerving the five. "By the way, just to let you know, the name's Manjimutt, and I don't like being a human faced dog as much as you don't like looking at me..." He stated glumly as he held an umbrella.
Yang laughed while others groaned at his name. "I get it! You're mangy, and you're a mutt!"
"I think what she means is that people might get freaked out seeing you for the first time..." Weiss hesitantly stated as she sighed. Whisper nodded in agreement. "You are a Yo-Kai after all." Manjimutt swung his umbrella and yelled a 'four' before he looked up for a second. "Oh, is that what I am? I guess that makes sense."
Ruby walked over to Manjimutt. "Do you want to tell us why you're so depressed?" she asked politely. "Not particularly, why do you ask?" He asked back. "Well it might make you feel better if tell us your story." Manjimutt sighed. "Very well, let's get properly acquainted."
They all headed over to 'A Simple Wok' and took their seats at the stand. "Oh, you again?" The Shopkeeper asked. Whisper was dumbfounded for a minute before attempting to ask one of the four.
"Don't ask. We don't know either." Blake receives her fish noodles.
"Get me some juice for these five." He nodded a passed a bottle of orange soda with five glasses. Manjimutt poured them a glass each. "Don't be shy, it's on me."
They all took their glasses and clink each other's glass. "I'll start back when I was alive."
"We kinda assumed that." Ruby said as she drank her soda.
"You see," he began his story. "I was just ordinary human businessman before I turned into a Yo-Kai."
"Ah, right. Jibanyan said the same thing too." Ruby remembered Jibanyan's story before he was…Jibanyan.
"32 years…32 years that I've worked for that company. At the company I worked at, they had to make some cutbacks, which included firing some of the workers. You can guess who the unlucky one was." His tone shifted into a depressing one.
"Just like that, I was so upset that day I couldn't face my wife, I was doomed at that time!"
"Wait, you had a wife?" Yang asked as she slurped her chili noodles.
"Yes, and one rebellious daughter as well." He answered.
"Sounds like Yang…" Weiss muttered quietly.
"Cheer up! I mean, every cloud has a silver lining, right?" Ruby tried to cheer the depressed dog.
"Yes, but not for this cloud at all! Those two were my life! Right after that day I became a human faced dog!" He yelled in sadness.
"I was completely out of my mind as I got drunk that time. I wandered the streets, alone. As I danced, I passed a brown poodle and some planks. And that's when it happened…My world came crashing down!"
Yang laughed at the joke while the others groaned.
"That's when I became…Manjimutt." He ended the story as he poured himself another glass.
"So wait..." Blake began. "A man..."
"Plus..." Ruby continued.
"A toy poodle..." Weiss continued as well with other kids doing the same.
"Times..." Yang said
"A couple of wooden boards..." Whisper continued.
"Equals... Manjimutt?" They all said in unison.
"That's one crazy story I've ever heard." Weiss commented as she finished her bowl.
"Yo-Kai stories usually are." Whisper finished his drink.
"Oddly, I was happy for the first time." Manjimutt lied on the table.
"About being a hybrid?" Blake asked.
"With my new looks, I was hoping that I might just get a new life." He starts to fantasize.
"After all, everyone loves sweet toy poodles, right?"
The rest was silent before Weiss spoke up. "Normally, I would agree, but seeing you…I'm guessing not so much." Whisper sighed along with her.
He faced the team "Everyone's afraid of the human faced dog. I'm lonelier now than I ever was before. The vendor here's my only friend." He muttered slightly before leaving.
He headed towards a nearby lamp and started doing his business.
Suddenly, two detectives came up behind. "Oh, it's that human faced dog." One of them muttered.
"To think that it actually exists..." The other one said.
"Well, now you owe me 50 Lien."
"Uh... no! I'm just an ordinary dog! Woof woof!" Manjimutt attempted to defend himself as one of the detectives called for backup "You better come with us freakshow." The other stated. As the kids approached, Manjimutt struggled from the detective's grasp. "This is isn't fair! This is Yo-Kai profiling!" He shouted.
"Tell it to the judge freakshow." One of them stated. Manjimutt noticed Team RWBY and quickly brought out his Yo-Kai medal and handed it to him. "Quick! Take this!" He shouted as he was taken into the police carriage. "His Yo-Kai medal?" Ruby muttered.
"Avenge me!" Manjimutt shouted as the carriage rolled away. All those present watched a bit dumbly as the police car took off. "I'm still hungry. Anybody want to go get something before we all head back?" Yang asked. "We could eat." They all said in unison.
Team RWBY are currently cleaning their desk space until Sky ran up to them while catching his breath.
"Guys…we've got a problem! Something's wrong with Cardin!"
They all see Cardin relaxing with his legs on the table with a snobbish look. "Man, I'm so bored."
"So what? He looks like his usual self." Yang asked.
"That's not it! Look!" He pointed at Sky.
"The heel of his shoes are folded, and he didn't tuck in his shirt!"
"But that's what he usually does." Blake shot back.
Cardin saw a mouse eared Faunus pass by him. In that moment, he snatched his glasses "Pass me that, you buckteeth freak!"
He doodled black permanent marker, turning it into a pair of shades.
"How do I look, ladies?" he finger gunned a group of female Huntresses with a smirk.
"He's even rowdier than before!" Sky said as he saw Cardin get up and trip a student carrying books while laughing at him.
"That's Cardin for you." Weiss and Blake shrugged it off and returned to the dorm. However, Yang and Ruby stayed behind.
"He's right, he wasn't that rowdy ever since that Ursa incident at Forever Falls." Yang noticed.
"Got to be a Yo-Kai at work then." Ruby thought.
Ruby, Yang and Whisper followed Cardin as he made his way down the halls, staring at each student passing by him.
As he stopped to shove a student into a locker, the sisters used this chance to shine the watch on him. Next to him was a green-skinned lizard-like kid with a short tail, large orange claws on his feet, a fairly muscular build, a pointed, curved mouth, a long red tongue, and orange markings surrounding his eyes and inner ears. He has a large orange pompadour, wears blue pants and white gauze around his waist.
"Gotcha." Ruby said with seriousness.
Whisper looked into his pad. "Not this guy. It's Roughraff. He's a Yo-Kai who makes good kids go bad. Roughraff the number one public enemy." Roughraff licked his lips. "Roughraff is responsible for ninety-eight percent of the troublemakers worldwide!"
"Yikes, we have got to stop him." Ruby was surprised at the percentage.
"Right behind ya sis." Yang agreed.
"Roughraff, we're coming for you!" Ruby declared.
"Ooh, I'm shaking in my boots! Catch me if you can!" Roughraff posed as if he's riding a motocycle and ran off.
"Hah? What do you want?" Cardin gave both sisters the stink eye.
"Why isn't he back to normal?" Ruby asked.
"Roughraff's influence is a hard habit to break. He won't change back until we defeat him!" Whisper informed them.
"Alright then, hang on sis!" Ruby took Yang's arm and used her Semblance to catch up to Roughraff.
Roughraff was chuckling to himself. "Kehehe, can't believe how easy it is to out run such puny gi-EYAK!" He looked back to see a spiral red and yellow javelin pining him into the arena.
Roughraff tumbled to one side of the arena while Yang and Ruby landed on the other.
"Ach, can't believe a puny red girl can out run me." He got up.
"Let me tell you that this red girl here can out run you anytime, anywhere." Ruby beamed.
"Eh, I'm not sure about that, along with that bimbo sister of yours." He commented, making Ruby gasp.
"I mean, what a messy bed of hair! You need your eyes checked if you call that gorgeous." He said further, oblivious to the fiery aura given out by Yang.
"Oh no." Yang's eyes were red as she grit her teeth. "I now pray for Roughraff."
"What's wrong Ruby? She's just angry." Whisper asked.
"Whisper, there's a saying in her part of the family, and that's one saying that you must listen and remember no matter what." Ruby said in a ghastly tone.
"Never piss off a Branwen's mane."
Yang stepped into the arena. "So, you're saying my hair needs a fixing?" Yang asked, albeit calmly.
"Yeah, you stupid blonde."
That added fuel to the fire. "Well, there's one thing I know you need to fix." She slammed her gauntlets together.
"Oh really, what's that-" Roughraff couldn't finish what he wanted to ask as, Yang's fiery fist embedded into his midsection, slamming him into the wall in one second.
"Your attitude." She said as the flames died down.
Whisper paled. "She takes the saying 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' to a whole other level!"
"Yeah, the last time someone messed with her hair 3 months ago, he's still in the hospital." Ruby whispered, making Whisper turn into white liquid.
Yang sighed as she walked to the rubble. "Hey, you ok?"
"Peachy…"he said shakily.
Yang grabbed Roughraff out of the debris. "You know, you've got guts. I like it." She set Roughraff down.
"Same to you, lady. That punch might break a Noway or ten." He grinned.
"Just don't mess with the hair. I'm Yang, pleased to meet you."
"Roughraff. A token of our friendship." He gave his medal to Yang as he walked off.
"Finally, I get my own Yo-Kai!" Yang cheered.
However, it was short lived as someone came busting in the doors. "Yang Xiao Long!"
Yang paled when she heard that voice. She turned her head to see an angry Glynda Goodwitch. Ruby and Whisper were shaking seeing another angry woman.
She fixed the debris as she turned to the blonde. "You are to see me in my office this instant." She said in a cold tone before leaving.
"Ruby-" Yang tried to ask her sister to help.
"I'msosorryYangbutit'severymanwomanandYo-Kaiforthemselves!" She immediately grabbed Whisper and zoomed out.
Yang was now alone, seeing that she has no way out of this, she had one word to say:
"Damnit."
Somewhere at the harbour, a man and woman exited the ferry as they walked into Vale.
The man has snow white skin and golden eyes, with long and dark teal hair that covers most of his face. He wears a dark purple kimono with a black overcoat and a white belt. He wears black shin covers and finger-less gloves. Around his neck is an azure scarf with a dragon head stitched onto each end.
The woman, a fox Faunus, has snow white skin like the man, tidy golden hair reaching her waist, golden-tipped ears, half-open purple eyes and red eye shades and whiskers, as golden fur covered her arms and legs. She wears a purple to yellow kimono. She has nine tails, each tipped purple, and sports long nails of the same color.
As they looked around, they saw Team RWBY, Whisper and their respective watches.
"So the watch has found four more wielders…" the man said. "Interesting."
"What do we do now, brother?" the woman asked.
"We observe them for the time being. Only when we meet him and his adversaries, we jump in and help."
"Whatever you say brother." She sighed. "Let's go get something to eat. I really want some good tuna. Maybe some deep fried tofu skins too." She said as they entered a seafood restaurant, showing a dark purple watch with azure wisp dragons swirling around the watch and a golden watch with nine purple wisps.
