Hello, everyone! I'm not dead! Yay! I'm sorry for the (overly) long delay, but here it is. When you're as ADD (and mildly autistic) as I am and your thoughts go all over the place, you tend to burn yourself out. That and Hurricane Florence making a huge mess where I live.

Also, for anyone interested in this story, go to my Deviantart page, LotusSwarm. This is where additional info for GoR would be posted, such as character profiles and their emblems. I have also changed Ichigo's emblem and posted some info on Team TAIM (Tatsuki's team). In the future, I'll be posting info on three more teams; IRYS (Iris), TMKK (Tombak), and NGUS (Negus). I will not say who's in them now. Have fun guessing.

Chapter 03: Meet and Greet

"Sorry about that, sis." Yang muttered as she made distance between her and Ruby. She needs to make new friends and she can't if she hanging around Yang. "She's fine. What could happen?" Yang tries reassure herself. As if tempting fate, an explosion occurred back at the courtyard. She turned to see a puff of red smoke...with traces of ice and lightning? "She's fine." Yang then feels a familiar presence. She turns to see a familiar face some ways away. "Hey, Angelface!" Uryuu halts, wincing at the nickname.

"Hello, Ms. Xiao Long."

"Helloooo~" Yang sang.

"It's rare to see you without your sister by your side. Where is she?"

Yang puts her hands and kicks her feet at the ground. "Don't know, maybe she went to go gawk at more weapons." Yang said. "So, you gonna show me around, Angelface?"

Uryuu closed his eyes for moment to stop himself from cringing again. "No. I actually need to deliver some papers to one of our teachers." He holds up the papers to show her. "If you're wondering where to go, head towards the amphitheater." He points at the direction. "The headmaster would be giving his speech soon, so you might want to hurry. Prof. Goodwitch doesn't like it when someone doddle. Have a nice day, Ms. Xiao Long and give Ms. Rose my congrats." He turns to leave.

When he's out of earshot, Yang scoffs. "When is he gonna stop with that 'Ms. Xiao Long' thing and start calling me by my first name?"

"Ugh, so much for a great start." Ruby groaned internally. First, her own sister ditched her and took Naoko with her, and then some crabby girl yelled at her for being clumsy. What a day...

"You okay there?" A friendly male voice right next to her asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, Jaune." Said boy nodded in return. The two had only met a mere few minutes ago and, after some halfhearted name calling of Vomit Boy and Crater Face, are now strolling aimlessly around the school grounds for no particular reason other than to get away from the crater made by the SDC heiress' Dust. Jaune is definitely a peculiar fellow, especially his Aura. Ruby, having great talent in Aura Sensing, can something...off about the blonde's Aura? "Just trying to...get used to this, I guess."

"Ah." Jaune said dumbly. An awkward silence fell between the two. Ruby bit down on her lower lip as her heart started racing nervously. The silver-eyed girl is not very good at these kind of stuff. And judging from Jaune's stiff stance and profuse sweating, he's not good at it either.

"What should I say next?" Both thought at the same time.

Like a lightbulb shining in her head, Ruby had something else to talk about, something she's quite fond with. "Hey, Jaune. Check this out." She brandished her weapon as it morphed into it's scythe form.

"Whoa, is-is that a scythe?"Jaune questioned, a little unnerved to see such a small girl wield such a dangerous weapon, even in Huntsmen standards.

"He's also a high caliber sniper rifle." Ruby boasted proudly.

"Huh?" Jaune said in confusion.

"It means he's also a gun."

"Oh."

Ruby then started to eye on Jaune's sheathed sword. "So what do you have?"

"I...uh..got a sword." He pulls out the blade. "And the scabbard turns into a shield." To emphasize it, he takes the scabbard and transforms it to it's shield form.

"Ooh, does it have a name?" Ruby asked, a little more starry eyed know that's she talking about weapons. "Mine's name is Crescent Rose."

"C-Crocea Mors." Jaune said.

"What is it's classification?" Ruby asked.

"Classification?"

"Yeah." Ruby said. "A lot of modern weapons have a classification. Crescent Rose's classification is High Caliber Sniper Scythe, or HCSS for short."

"Oh. Well, it used to belong to my great-great grandfather." Jaunes explained. "So, it never had one."

"Huh, so an heirloom, then." Ruby said. "Well, I think it's great. Not everyone appreciates classics these days."

"A classic, huh." Jaune muttered as he watched Ruby put away her scythe in standby mode. He then changed the shield back into a scabbard and sheathes his sword back in.

"Jaune, I've been wondering. Why did you help me back there?" Ruby asked.

"Well, why not? It's obvious that you were having rough day too." Jaune said politely. "And besides, my mom once said that stranger's are you haven't met yet."

"Huh." Ruby said. She looks around and started to notice the lack of students walking around. "Um, where are we going?" Ruby asked.

"Oh I don't know." Jaune admitted awkwardly. "I was following you."

"Hey!" A new female calls out. Ruby and Jaune looks before them to see an older girl with cropped black hair, along with a young man with honey-colored spiked hair about the girl's age. "What are you kids doing around here?"

"Ooh, duh, uh, um, we are... heading towards the... uh...the...speech place?" Jaune said, flushed red with embarrassment.

"Aah, I see. Then, you two should be heading to the amphitheater. Where you guys are heading to now is the dorms, a little ways away from the amphitheater." Tatsuki pointed out. "If you're lost, we can take you there."

"Really? Oh, thank you so much...uh..." Ruby started to thank but suddenly remembered that she failed to ask for their names. The older female smiled nicely.

"The name's Tatsuki. A third-year here." She turns to her male friend. "And this big oaf is Ichigo." When the guy, Ichigo, didn't say anything, Tatsuki gave him a swift smack to his chest. Ichigo gave his friend a quick glare before turning back to Ruby and Jaune.

"Hey." Ichigo said nothing else, after that. Tatsuki rolled her eyes at him.

"Ignore him." Tatsuki said, earning another glare from Ichigo. "With the introductions out of the way, you two ready?"

"Mm-hm." Ruby said.

"Yeah." Jaune said.

"Alright. Let's get going, then. The Headmaster's speech is gonna start in a few minutes, so follow us." Tatsuki said. Jaune and Ruby nodded as they followed older girl. Ichigo stayed put for a moment, staring perplexingly at the girl in a red hood.

I am sosososososososo sorry for the long wait! I burned out a bit and lost some interest, but Volume 6 revived it! Poor Ozpin (or I should say Ozma idk)! And poor Qrow and Oscar too! T.T

Next Chapter will be in two weeks!
