Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. So I kinda got halfway through writing this a week ago, but got stuck on where I wanted to go with it. Also. I was going to finish it starting Friday but I got in a car accident Thursday so I was out for a few days :P Also, side note, I went and got my copy of Pokémon Omega Ruby Friday (Team Treecko!) and came home to find out my little brother broke my 2DS. Both screens. *sigh* Anyway, here's chapter 4: The New Students. Enjoy.

Professor Ozpin raised his hand to silence them. "It appears I have a lot to explain. But what is clear..." he looked at the group of travelers, "Is that Syaoran and the rest will be guests at Beacon until they've found what they are searching for."

Syaoran's eyes widened. "Are you sure, sir? We only just arrived, and you don't know us very well. We wouldn't want to be a bother," he said.

Ozpin just smiled. "Of course. It wouldn't be a bother at all. Besides, if Yuko sent you here, that's all I need to know that I can trust you."

"Yeah!" Jaune added. "Like my mom says 'Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet'!"

Fai smiled. "Well, we do need a place to stay, and you all seem like very nice hosts, so I guess it would be rude if we didn't accept your invitation!"

Ozpin smiled again, but saw Blake with her hand raised. "Yes, Blake?"

Blake put her hand down. "Professor, are you going to tell us about that woman that was on your wall just now?" All eyes turned to him expectantly.

"Ah, yes, where to start?" he wondered. He took another drink from his mug. "That woman's name is Yuko, or as some know her, the Dimensional Witch. She grants wishes, or, more accurately, she gives people the ability to see there wishes come true. Our friends here," he gestured to Syaoran and the others, "are not citizens of any of the four kingdoms. They are actually travelers from a completely different world."

He paused a moment, letting it sink in. Jaune stood there with his jaw dropped. Yang just said, "Cool!" and Nora, who had barely been paying attention asked, "Do they have pancakes in your world?"

Syaoran looked confused. "Um... Uh."

Ozpin raised his hand for silence. "You may ask them questions later. Let's continue. Yuko's wishes are never free, there is always a price. For example, a wish that I made long ago, it just so happens that this is part of the payment for it, making sure Syaoran and the others have a place to stay. They all wished to cross dimensions, so I can assume it was a large price for each of you?" He asked. They all nodded, minus Sakura. Ozpin nodded his head, then continued. "I think that is about as much as I can tell you. I do want to ask what is that you all are searching for, though."

Syaoran rubbed his head. He looked from Ozpin, to Sakura, and back to Ozpin. "It may seem a little strange, but we're searching for feathers."

"Feathers?!" Ruby asked, she looked a bit fearful as she pulled all of her cape into her arms. Syaoran looked at her curiously. "Sorry, bad memories with birds." She said. Syaoran didn't press it.

"These feathers contain fragments of Princess Sakura's memories," he continued.

Now, Blake looked confused. "Why would feathers contain her memories?"

Syaoran thought how to give a short answer, and how to not let Sakura know they had been connected in the past.

Luckily for him, Sakura spoke up. "I've lost my memories," she said. "I don't know how it happened, but when I had woken up, Syaoran told me that my memories had left my body in the form of feathers that spread out, even to other dimensions."

Blake nodded, but she noticed how Syaoran had avoided answering when she asked the question.

"That's why we're searching for them." Fai said. "And lucky for us, little Mokona here can sense them!"

Ruby looked down at Mokona who was still in her arms. "You can do that?" She said, amazed.

"Yup!" It replied cheerfully. "Whenever we get close to one, my eyes get like this!" Mokona's eyes shot wide with a "Mekyo!".

Ruby squeezed it harder. "D'aww! Even its eyes are cute!" She squealed, nuzzling her cheek against it.

"Ruby!" Weiss looked cross.

"Y-yes, Weiss?" Ruby was standing straight up, looking fearful like she had done something wrong.

"Why don't you let go of that thing and..." She locked eyes with Mokona, "...Let that sweet adorwable cweature be held by someone else!" She said, looking longingly at Mokona. Ruby smiled and loosened her grip on Mokona, who swiftly jumped into Weiss's open arms.

Ozpin smiled, then looked out the window. "It's getting late..." He said. Suddenly Syaoran and Sakura's stomachs growled in unison. They both looked embarrassed. Ozpin chuckled. "Well, I guess you all must be hungry. Why don't you all go down to the dining hall and eat and then come see me afterward?" He asked.

Teams RWBY and JNPR nodded. They started to walk out. "Thank you very much!" Syaoran bowed slightly. He and the rest turned to follow the teams.

Ozpin smiled and picked up his scroll and hit a button. "Glynda?" he said, "I need to speak with you about something... Yes, immediately if that is acceptable... Thank you." Ozpin ended the call on his scroll and went back to looking out his window.

As they ate, Syaoran cringed at the bombardment of the other's questions. Currently, Pyrrah was asking Sakura for a more detailed description of what her feathers looked like, Mokona was entertaining Weiss and Nora, Fai was asking for information about Vale from Yang, Ren, and Blake, while Jaune just seemed to be petrified by Kurogane's appraising stare. This left Ruby sitting across from Syaoran as they ate.

"So..." Ruby said, shyly, "I like your cloak. Where'd you get it?"

Syaoran raised his eyebrow. "That's... probably the most normal question I've been asked when someone finds out I'm from another world." he said. Then he smiled. "My father got it for me. My country, the Kingdom of Clow, is in the middle of a desert, so it's raked by constant sandstorms, so it helps protect me from the elements on my archaeological projects." He said.

Ruby looked surprised. "You're an archaeologist?" She asked.

Syaoran nodded. "I'm interested in finding out about the past, and being an archaeologist helps me see ruins or bones to study. Actually, in Clow, there were some ruins that me and my father had been investigating. The sand had covered most of it, but we had made great progress in uncovering them. I think I was close to a great discovery, but that's when Sakura lost her memories."

Ruby looked concerned, "Aren't your families worried about you?"

"Sakura's brother is her only family left, and he knew she had to get her memories back. As for me..." His face darkened, "My dad passed away awhile back..."

"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bring up anything painful!" She said, apologetically.

Syaoran looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry about it. I'm fine," he said.

They both went back to eating in silence. After awhile, Fai came over. "Well, we shouldn't keep Professor Ozpin waiting." He said, as they all finished eating and went back to see the headmaster.

As they approached Professor Ozpin's office, they could hear a woman talking in a raised voice.

"You see, Ozpin? You always go and make these rash decisions and no matter what I say, you never change your mind. There are rules, protocols that must be followed. I don't even know why you bother to get my opinion on anything!" She sounde upset.

Syaoran noticed how both teams cringed at the sound of the woman's voice.

"That's because I respect your opinion. But I believe they've been tested and have enough to be admitted."

"Welll! I still don't..."

Ruby tentatively knocked on the door. There was a long pause, followed by Professor Ozpin's voice saying, "Come in."

Syaoran and the others walked in. Ozpin was sitting at his desk while a blonde woman with a purple cape stood next to him with her arms crossed. Ozpin stood. "Perfect timing. I was just discussing with Professor Goodwitch the last few technicalities of your stay. Come with me and I'll show you to your room."

They walked down so many hallways that Syaoran almost lost his sense of direction. Soon, they stopped in front of a door. Ozpin opened it, and ushered them inside. As they walked in, Syaoran and the others noticed it was a pretty bare room. There were four beds and night stands with lamps on them. A few desks sat against the wall, and the window turned out to be doors that led to a balcony.

Ozpin spoke up. "This is your room for the time you're here." He then looked sideways at Glynda who just huffed and turned away. "Also, I'd like to ask you all a question." All of Syaoran's team looked at the professor. "How would you like to become temporary students of the school?"

Syaoran looked shocked. He looked to Fai for support. "I think it's a great idea. We need to learn more about this world so that we can find out where the feather is And what better way to learn than school?"

Syaoran then looked to Kurogane who just huffed. Lastly, he looked to Sakura. "What do you think?"

Sakura smiled. "It seems like it'll be fun!" She said.

Syaoran turned back to Ozpin. "It looks like we're your new students, Professor."

Glynda suddenly interrupted. "Now, Ozpin. You may have convinced me to believe these people have what it takes to be students, but look at those two!" She motioned to Fai and Kurogane, "They are clearly too old to be students here."

Ozpin frowned as he thought. Then, almost unnoticeably, he smiled devilishly. "You're right, Glynda. I'm afraid I can't admit you as students he said to the two. He then turned back to Syaoran and Sakura. "I'll make sure to get you each a school uniform. Meanwhile, get your rest. You're officially students, so you'll be expected at class tomorrow."

As they stood talking, Yang came up behind Syaoran and Sakura and grabbed them by their arms. "Well, then if you're students, we're having a get-to-know-you sleepover tonight!" And with that, she tore down the hallway with Syaoran and Sakura flailing behind in her grip.

"Hey! Wait up!" Ruby yelled. The rest of both teams ran after them.

"No running in the halls!" Glynda fumed, following after them to give them a proper scolding.

Fai and Kurogane stood there in shock over how they had been left behind. "Wait..." Fai said weakly, reaching his hand out.

Ozpin put his hand up to stop them. "I know I couldn't convince Glynda to let you in the school as students, but I have something else planned for you."

Hope you guys (and gals) enjoyed! I finished this coz I'm on a 16 hour car ride to Florida for Thanksgiving. So if any of you are gonna be in Pensacola until Saturday, give me a shout out! As always, if there's any ideas or ways you think I should take this story, let me know by review or PM. Also, if I have any grammar errors, point them out, please. I pride myself in being a Grammar Nazi and I hate how the predictive text messes with me when I thumb out these chapters on my phone. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Make sure you thank someone who really means a lot to you!
