I don't own Ruby or Fire Emblem

Chapter 5: Dust

Jaune's POV

Jaune grunted as his sword clashed against Pyrrha's blade. He pulled away from the lock and managed to deflect Pyrrha's strike like a pro. Then he decided to be bold and go in for a strike while she was thrown off balance. Of course she wasn't called the Goddess of Victory or the Invincible Girl for nothing. She recovered right away and batted his strike away before she took a stab at him. Jaune moved to the side as he blocked her sword and then he slid his sword down until he caught her blade on his guard. He felt happy that he managed it and quickly pushed her blade down and then he slid the blade up along hers for a strike. He smiled at her surprised expression but she just smirked and ducked under his strike easily and swiped his legs out, making him hit the ground with a thud.

"Ow…" he groaned and he sighed in annoyance when he saw Pyrrha's blade inches from his face.

"I give…" he sighed and Pyrrha laughed as she offered her hand to him. He took her hand and let her help him up. Another loss but it was to be expected.

"Interesting improvement. Your coordination is much better and your swordsmanship has improved drastically over the months. That move with your guard wasn't something I taught you though. That was something Kamui might do expect of course executed a little better," Pyrrha commented as she sat down against the railing of the roof. Jaune joined her and sat next to her as he massaged his leg. After apologizing profusely to Pyrrha after Forever Fall he took her up on her offer to train him. They trained a few times every week on top of their dorm building, Jaune lost every time but Pyrrha claimed he was improving. He didn't feel like he was though but he decided never to give up again.

"Yeah, I learned it from watching his matches. I tried to get him to teach me but well, he said he isn't the best teacher," Jaune commented.

"He can teach, but I think what he meant is that he doesn't know how to teach a beginner. Besides counters like that are a little advanced for you. Be mindful that Crocea Mors' guard isn't as big as the Yato's so be careful when you try that. Of course it's always good to learn from those around you," Pyrrha said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, well I doubt I could replicate little else from him. That guy moves so fast I can barely catch anything and I can't even see Ruby's movements. The fights between those two have to be put in slow motion for me to really see anything," Jaune groaned and Pyrrha laughed again. Honestly those two were insane in the sparring ring, it was hard to tell if they were being friendly or trying to kill each other. Blake once said it was their way of flirting but no one bought that.

"You have to keep trying, Jaune. I know it's frustrating; every great warrior has fallen many times in the beginning. Very rare few never fail many times in the beginning. It's grueling but the results will be worth it if you keep trying. Look at Ruby, she keeps going after Kamui and she's improving every time," Pyrrha pressed and Jaune sighed in resignation.

"I would…I just wish I got to go to combat school to learn that first…" Jaune said bitterly.

"Have you…told Kamui or Ruby yet? About your…fake entrance?" Pyrrha asked cautiously and Jaune shuddered at that idea.

"No, I don't want to think about what they'll do if they find out about me," Jaune shuddered. Kamui and Ruby had been loyal friends to him ever since he started at Beacon. Even after he was blackmailed by Cardin and separated himself from them they still believed in him. He could just imagine the disappointment they would feel if they found out he wasn't supposed to be at Beacon to begin with.

"I didn't stop believing in you, don't worry. Kamui isn't so short sighted and Ruby would probably think its cool," Pyrrha assured. She really was more than he deserved in a partner.

"I…just can't Pyrrha, I don't want to take that chance," Jaune pleaded. Pyrrha wrapped her arm around him and leaned her head onto his shoulder and Jaune sighed as he enjoyed the embrace.

"It's ok Jaune, everyone has secrets. Take the time you need, just know that I'll always be there to help you if I can. Don't forget that again, got it?" Pyrrha asked as she squeezed him tight. Jaune sighed as his guilt just bubbled up more. He was a leader and he was foolish enough to believe that no one was counting on him. Kamui whooped him in the arena for that. He would never forsake his team again, he would die trying anyway, not that he wanted to die that way exactly.

"Think I'll survive the tests? The semester is coming to a close soon. Second Semester is coming up along with the tournament. Do you think you'll have your showdown with Kamui there?" Jaune asked. Pyrrha laughed as she snuggled against him more, making Jaune blush.

"Perhaps. I am starting to believe that the teachers don't want us to fight until the tournament. Something always interrupts us when we try to have matches outside of class. If it's not some kind of Grimm incursion in the forest, it's an errand we need to run for a teacher. I think we've accepted that they want us to save it for the Vytal Festival," Pyrrha sighed.

At that point they heard a roar and Jaune saw Nyx take off towards Vale. Not an uncommon thing, after the incident in Forever Fall, Ruby and Kamui had made it a sort of quota or normal thing. One would think a giant dragon roaring would set off alarms and it did for a little while. After months of hearing the dragon roar though, Jaune was used to it along with the teachers with Ozpin's orders of course. Plus the dragon had sort of grown on the staff. Professor Goodwitch often gave her more…deliquient students to the dragon to straighten them out, Kamui once said that Nyx was almost like a younger version of Goodwitch. Professor Oobleck wanted to study her, much to the dragon's displeasure and Professor Port wanted to have some kind of battle against it, though Kamui wouldn't allow that. Still though it was a bit late for them to go out. It was Friday so they didn't have curfew but still.

"I guess Ruby and Kamui are heading out. I wonder what they could be doing at this hour though," Pyrrha commented.

"I wonder who will come on top. RWBY or JNPR, I hope its us," Jaune said hopefully even though the idea was laughable to someone else. Pyrrha stood up suddenly and forced him to stand up as well.

"Well then, fearless leader you have to keep training in order to achieve that if you want to beat RWBY. It'll be a team effort after all and you need to be in top shape to lead us to victory!" she challenged as she drew her blade again. Jaune sighed but he drew his sword and held it in both his hands.

"No pain, no gain…" he mumbled.

Ruby's POV

Ruby sighed as the wind flew past her as she flew through the night sky. She was never really afraid of flying considering she always sent herself flying with her Crescent Rose. Though she has never flown this high on a dragon no less, a dragon belonging to her crush. She didn't bother avoiding leaning back against Kamui for support. It was comforting and thankfully he didn't shy away from her affectionate actions anymore. Still though this wasn't the reason she wanted to be flying.

"So…why did you want to fly now? I can't imagine anything short of an emergency would make you want to crawl out at this hour, usually you want us to spar or work in the forge at this time since Jaune is busy with Pyrrha," Kamui commented as he directed Nyx to fly over Vale.

"I like flying…but there is something I need your help with…" Ruby asked.

"Such as? I am always willing to help you out as long as it isn't embarrassing," Kamui commented and Ruby giggled.

"I need help with Blake…she hasn't been around for at least a week now and we're all getting worried about her," Ruby said with a sigh. She looked down at nighttime Vale. Her friend and teammate was down there somewhere, she probably thought they all hated her. It didn't help that Weiss had certainly made it seem like that.

"I see…any reason why she would run off?" Kamui asked. Ruby contemplated telling him about Blake's secret. After all she wouldn't be working so hard to hide that she was a Faunus if she was just going to tell everyone. The only reason they found out was because Weiss kept saying what monsters the White Fang were. That certainly didn't make them look appealing to the girl. Still though…it was Kamui, Blake seemed to like him, at least she thought so. He wasn't a racist towards Faunus, in fact it seemed like he disliked the things both sides did.

"Well…Blake…we were all going to see the people visiting for the Vytal Tournament to spy on them. Except there was a Faunus boy who was running away from the police. We chased after him at Weiss' insistence and well we lost him unfortunately…Weiss started saying a bunch of mean things about Faunus and the White Fang. Blake got angry about that and they started arguing. Remember, we came home with those two arguing?" Ruby asked to make sure Kamui was paying attention.

"Go on," he said and Nyx made a snort like she was paying attention too, which wouldn't have been wrong. Ruby thought it was so cool how Nyx was actually smart, she couldn't speak but she could listen. Only Kamui could tell what she was saying but Ruby still couldn't figure out how.

"Well, Blake ended up exploding at Weiss and she kind of revealed that she was a…Faunus and a former member of the White Fang…" Ruby said meekly, waiting for her friend's reaction.

"Huh…that's interesting…so I assume she ran off after that?" Kamui asked as he brought Nyx down to land on a particularly tall building. It may have looked odd and scary to some people but they were next to a school with crazy teens who had super powers.

"You're not…mad?" Ruby asked as they both got off of Nyx.

"I don't care if Blake is Faunus or not. I grew up with Faunus and Human alike, I have a teacher and a friend who are Faunus. Though the White Fang…those people I have little love for," Kamui said as he started rubbing some of Nyx's scales, making the dragon sort of purr or whatever the dragon equivalent was.

"Blake isn't part of the White Fang anymore though…" Ruby said nervously as she hoped he wouldn't go crazy on Blake when they found her. Hopefully this wasn't a mistake.

"Then I have no issue with her…she hasn't given the impression of someone untrustworthy…as a person with my own secrets, I can understand that," Kamui said softly and Ruby frowned a little at the mention of his secrets. That really was the main thing keeping her from confessing, he was still such a mystery to her. Love later though, help friend now.

"So you'll help me look for her then?" Ruby asked, happily.

"Of course I will," Kamui said as he turned to her. Ruby wanted to hug him but before she did a famililar orange haired girl popped up beside her.

"I'll help too!" Ruby jumped into Kamui's arms like a scared cat as she stared at the new arrival.

"What…who's this?" Kamui asked and judging from his tone he was surprised by her appearance as well. Nyx gave a warning growl at the girl but Ruby quickly asserted control.

"Wait, Nyx. She's a friend…Penny…where did you come from?" Ruby asked as the strange girl. She met Penny earlier, right before Blake split from them. She was an odd girl to put it lightly, even considering all the people at Beacon. The girl had a creepy way of showing up whenever Ruby came to Vale to look for Blake. Not that she didn't appreciate her but Ruby still wasn't used to how she could do that, she even got past Kamui and Nyx!

"I told you I would help you in your search! I still have not located your friend, Blake however…" Penny finished in a dejected tone. Ruby frowned and got down from Kamui's hold, thankfully not embarrassed and placed her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Hey it's ok, thanks for helping me look for my friend. Oh here, this is my friend Kamui and his dragon Nyx!" Ruby pulled her over to her silver clad crush and his mount.

"Salutations!" Penny greeted in her usual upbeat voice. Kamui and Nyx shared a look before the dragon gave a sort of greeting sound.

"Hello as well…" Kamui said awkwardly, making Ruby giggle.

"Any friends of Ruby are friends to me!" Penny said as she grabbed Kamui's hand and started shaking the surprised boy. He looked at Ruby and she just shrugged, Kamui sighed but he smiled at the girl and nodded.

"Very well, I feel the same way…I think," that sounded more like a question than a statement. Nyx let out a small growl and Kamui turned to the dragon and sighed.

"Fine…fine go on…" Kamui said as he waved the dragon off. The glyph that Nyx always came out of appeared below it and then she disappeared.

"What happened? Did she not like me?" Penny asked.

"No, no nothing you did was wrong. Nyx was just annoyed that we weren't doing anything and she wanted to go home. Besides, she wanted to go hunt since we interrupted it when I summoned her," Kamui sighed.

"But the plan was we would use Nyx to fly over the city so we could find Blake!" Ruby cried, she had the whole special mission planned and everything! Kamui started laughing while Penny just seemed confused.

"Relax…we'll be fine. We just have to look harder," Kamui said. Ruby grumbled since she planned a cool night operation for nothing, hopefully her sister and Weiss were having better luck finding Blake. Ruby grumbled about it the whole way down from the building they were and kept sulking about it even after they started searching from the streets.

"Kamui, can't you just summon Nyx again?" Ruby asked after half an hour of searching.

"Well I could…but she gets cranky at this hour. I don't feel like dealing with her mood here. Remember, she's the same age as us so imagine a moody Weiss who could breath fire whenever she gets annoyed," Kamui joked but he sounded serious. Despite how scary that may be though Ruby couldn't help but laugh at the idea of a fire breathing Weiss.

"Come on friends, we just have to keep looking!" Penny said eagerly before she stumbled into someone who wasn't paying attention. Penny fell onto the ground while the figure turned around in shock.

"Oh dear, I am sorry young miss. I didn't see you there," he was a young man, looking to be in his twenties, aura immortality, chose to be nice to him apparently since he spoke in such a refined way. Ruby eyed him and couldn't help but think he looked a bit…cool? He was dressed in all black with a red scarf that seemed to compliment his emerald hair nicely. He looked just like a ninja!

There were two others next to the man, both girls. One was a blonde girl with short cropped hair and…two fluffy ears and a fluffy tail (Ruby had to resist hugging her). She was dressed up in armor along with a red coat with fluffy white fur at the collar. Her outfit cut off at her thighs, something Yang would have approved of. Ruby had never seen a Faunus quite like her before, usually they were just smaller traits.

The other girl was a Faunus as well but she stood with a bit of a shyer stance than her more confident companion. She had long black hair that almost hid her large wolf like ears. She wore a white blouse and jeans, nothing showy. She had a red cloak on and wore the hood over her head. Her red hood had a white inside as opposed to Ruby's. Ruby also managed to catch a wolf like tail that was sticking out of her cloak.

"It's alright, sir," Penny said energetically as she stood up easily when the green haired ninja tried to help her up.

"Kaze? Selkie? Velouria?" Kamui asked, shocked. Ruby stared at her friend to see that he indeed looked more surprised than she'd ever seen before. The three people in front of them seemed surprised as well. The man dropped to one knee while the two girls tackled Kamui in a hug, making him almost fall over.

"Kamui!" they said excitedly. Ruby felt the sudden urge to draw her scythe out but she suppressed it. After a few moments Kamui managed to untangle himself from the two girls' and stepped back a bit.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Kamui exclaimed with a blush on his face. Ruby was very interested to know who these people were also, especially the girls…

"We came to give you a package from Lady Felica, Milord," the green haired man, Ruby assumed he was Kaze.

"What?! I know I asked for special delivery, but not like this!" Kamui exclaimed, looking quite distressed. Ruby had never seen him so alarmed, it was foreign considering while he did get surprised, he never quite got this alarmed.

"We-" a large explosion rang through their ears. Ruby immediately grew worried since it was quite a loud explosion and she knew Blake was probably involved. There group had a way of always getting mixed up in the middle of action after all.

"Kamui, Penny! Come on! Blake has to be there!" she grabbed hold of her friends by their hands and took off, running in the direction of the explosion. It was in the direction of the docks if she was any judge. Hopefully Yang and Weiss were on there way there as well.

"Wait!"

"Where do you think you're taking him!?" Ruby didn't listen to the people from Kamui's past and quickly activated her semblance. In part it was to get Kamui away from the girls who were familiar with him but mostly to get to Blake as fast as possible. It might have tired her out carrying two passengers instead of just one but due to constant training against her friends, especially Kamui and Pyrrha she had the strength to maintain it. It wasn't long before they arrived at the docks thankfully, Ruby stopped when they got close to the explosion or where she thought it was.

"Ruby!" Kamui shouted and Ruby just giggled nervously. He looked a bit mad at her and she shied away from his gaze. He rarely got mad at her, basically not at all.

"Sorry…" Ruby appeased as she sent a message to Yang and Weiss to hurry over to the area.

"That was fun!" Penny said, excited. Kamui seemed like he was going to say something and Ruby braced for it but before he could say anything there was another explosion that cut him off. This one was even louder than before, though they were right next to it practically. Still it did seem to be worse than the one that tipped them off.

"Fine…we'll worry about this first…" Kamui sighed. Ruby beamed and grabbed his hand and Penny's and activated her semblance again so they could speed up to the roof. Don't ask her how she knew she could run up walls without Weiss helping her (she jumped).

"Well lets go!" Ruby said as she ran up to the edge, leaving her bewildered crush behind. Penny was unaffected apparently since she was with her the whole time. Ruby's eyes widened when she saw not just Blake like she hoped but she was currently fighting against Roman, the guy who robbed the dust store she was in when she met Kamui. She also noticed that the Blonde Faunus they were chasing some time ago was fighting the criminal with Blake.

"What's he doing here," Ruby asked herself. Blake and her friend managed to gain the upper hand against Roman but the criminal mastermind knocked down a crate being suspended above them. Blake and her friend got away but unfortunately Roman had his cane/gun pointed right at the monkey Faunus.

"Hey!" Ruby shouted as she drew her Crescent Rose. She aimed down the sight and fired at the cane wielder who simply dodged it. More of his goons came out to aid him at this point, White Fang to be exact if Ruby was any judge.

"Oh, hey there Red! It's lovely to see you again…not!" Roman shouted.

"Ruby are these people your friends?" Penny asked as she got a little too close.

"Penny, stay back it's dangerous-ah!" while Ruby was warning her friend Roman had taken a cheap shot and fired an explosive round at her. Ruby was sent hurdling back but thankfully she crashed into something that cushioned the ground. When Ruby looked to see what it was though she blushed when she realized that Kamui had caught her.

"You ok?" he grunted as he helped her up. Before Ruby could reply she realized that Penny was approaching the edge of the building.

"Penny! Wait!" Ruby shouted, worriedly as the orange haired girl jumped off the building. She grabbed Kamui before he could protest and pulled him after Penny. Except when they touched the ground they didn't have to help apparently. Penny was levitating at least ten swords around her? Whatever she was doing she was winning, the White Fang couldn't get within ten feet of her before they were brought down by her swords. How was she levitating them though? Was her semblance telekinesis or something?

"I don't think she needs help…but let's go help shall we?" Kamui asked as he drew his sword. Ruby drew her scythe as well, eager to help her friends. She shared a smile with Kamui before they charged in but before they even got there, Penny had already…cleared them out.

"That was…fast…" Ruby said more surprised than disappointed and Kamui said something similar. She saw Blake and her friend? Going after Roman and she armed her scythe to go after him as well but before she could the whirring of a minigun rang through her ears.

"Incoming!" Kamui shouted. A group of Bullheads begun flying in, whirring their guns to fire. Ruby got out of the way and pulled Kamui behind something with her, not that she needed to. Except those actions were unneeded as well. Penny brought her swords up and whirred them around like a vortex and fired a giant green laser at the Bullheads. The laser cut them to pieces like they were made of paper instead of metal.

"Was that a laser?" Ruby asked.

"Indeed, I think it was…" Kamui replied. Then he pointed Ruby towards Roman who managed to get onto one of the Bullheads that wasn't destroyed. She wondered how he was able to get away from Blake but she saw her friend trying to help her comrade out from under a crate that fell on him.

"See you kids later! I hope we meet again, not!" Roman taunted as he closed the door to his ship as it sped away. Ruby took aim with her sniper and fired at the ship but her bullet just dented the ship.

"Well…we found Blake at least…" Kamui said, dejected. Ruby nodded somberly at his words before she perked up and rushed over to hug her friend before she ran off again.

"Ruby!" Blake shouted. She tried to worm away out of her hold but Ruby just held her tighter.

"Nope! You're not running off again, we all missed you!" Ruby shouted and Blake flinched but she relented after a few minutes and endured her. Then Ruby smiled at her mischievously and held up her hands.

"Now…can I pet your ears?" Ruby asked slyly and Blake seemed to shake from fear at that.

Moments Later

"Sorry…" Ruby said meekly as Blake massaged her cat ears through her bow of course. Ruby didn't realize how sensitive they were, she thought it felt good. Blake was either very polite or endured it as punishment for worrying her, probably both.

"It's fine…never again though…" Blake sighed as she sat next to her companion who Ruby learned was named Sun. Ruby fidgeted on the crate she was sitting on, thankful that Kamui and Penny were there to make her feel not so unshielded.

"Man are all of you Beacon kids so crazy?" Sun asked.

"I actually think we're the sane ones…" Kamui deadpanned but Ruby saw him smiling. Blake seemed to smile at the gesture as her hands settled down on her lap again.

"I'm sorry Ruby…I didn't know you would feel the way you did…I thought you were going to hate me for having been in the White Fang," Blake said softly.

"Of course I wouldn't hate you, Blake. You're part of my team, I don't care if you're Faunus, I think the ears are cute actually!" Ruby replied happily. Blake seemed to shudder but everyone laughed. When they all calmed down though they stayed in silence since there wasn't much more to say.

"Heads up, Yang and Weiss are coming," Kamui cut in, making Blake pale. Indeed the heiress and Ruby's sister were approaching but it was Weiss that brought worry on. She made it quite clear how she felt about the White Fang and the Faunus.

"Hey Weiss, nice night huh? Please don't be mean to Blake, she's not part of the White Fang in fact she was trying to stop them tonight, she actually has cute cat ears under her bow and um…" Ruby tried to get her partner to stop but Weiss just walked past her, towards Blake. Ruby saw Kamui tense and he placed his hand on his sword, he would make sure nothing bad happened and Ruby wouldn't either.

"Weiss…I am no longer part of the White Fang. I cut ties with them before things got too bloody," Blake said. Ruby couldn't see Weiss' expression but when she saw Kamui's hand leave his sword she sighed in relief.

"Don't say anymore Blake…do you have any idea how long we were all looking for you? A week, we spent a week looking tirelessly for you…and well…I don't care about what you were," Weiss said, making Blake's eyes widen. Ruby sighed again and she didn't even move when Yang wrapped an arm around her.

"You don't care? But I thought…" Blake trailed off and Weiss sighed before she hugged her, making the girl freeze.

"You said you weren't part of the White Fang anymore, that's good enough for me. Next time something this big happens, make sure you call on all of us next time," Weiss said as she pulled away. Blake wiped a tear from her eye and she nodded.

"Yay! Team RWBY is back together again!" Ruby shouted joyfully.

"Yeah!" Yang agreed as she clanked her gauntlets together, making Ruby wince since she was right next to her. Ruby and her sister approached their two teammates and Sun and Kamui got close as well, making a sort of circle.

"Thank you for keeping my dunce of a partner safe, Kamui," Weiss said gratefully and Ruby blushed. Kamui nudged her, making Ruby whine slightly.

"It was my pleasure. She's my partner too, Weiss. That would make us partners too technically anyway," Kamui said casually. Weiss seemed happy with that technicality.

"Good! Now I have a partner that actually pays attention in class. Maybe I should request to have Ruby thrown out," Weiss said, making Ruby's mind crash.

"Hey!" Ruby whined, making them all laugh at the joke. Then Weiss pointed a finger at Sun, making the boy flinch.

"You…I don't know how I feel about you just yet…so stay on your toes…" Weiss said icily, returning to the Ice Queen the all know and love.

"Oh come on! I was keeping Blake safe!" Sun appeased. Ruby noticed that Penny wasn't in their circle though and she started looking around for her.

"Hey where's Penny?" she asked. Everyone else started looking around but she was just gone, she was just there a few moments ago! They all separated too look around but she was just gone. Before Ruby could grow frantic though, she heard something else to take her attention.

"Hey…you alright man?" Sun asked followed by a yelp. Ruby saw that Kamui was grabbing his head with one hand and he was holding onto Sun's shoulder with the other. Kamui looked like he was in extreme pain though with the way he was shaking. He looked like he was about to fall over but Sun was holding him up.

"Kamui!" Ruby shouted as she ran over.

"No!" Kamui shouted, making Ruby skid to a stop. Kamui pushed Sun away and stumbled away, clutching his head like it was about to explode. Ruby saw that the rest of her team were edging closer to the boy and Ruby started approaching him again.

"Kamui what's wrong?!" Ruby shouted as she started running to him but he glared at her, stopping her in her tracks.

"Ruby…stay back…all of you! Stay back! I…don't know what's…" Kamui fell to his knees and his black aura started becoming visible around him like his semblance was activating.

"Please, let us help you Kamui…" Weiss advised as she took a few careful steps forward.

"No! Stay back! My…powers are acting strange! Please, I don't want to hurt you!" Kamui ordered. Kamui's aura began growing and then he let out a sharp cry as his semblance activated. Ruby gasped as they were all sucked into the pocket his semblance created. She couldn't see Kamui because his black aura had engulfed him completely but she could hear his cries of pain. Those were sounds that should never come from him, he never showed pain!

"Kamui!" Ruby shouted as she tried to get closer to aid her crush. However she felt herself grow heavier and it became hard to even lift her feet. She looked to her friends and saw that they were all in the same predicament. Ruby tried helplessly to overpower the force Kamui's semblance had over her but it was no use. Then as suddenly as it happened, it all stopped and Ruby almost fell onto her face.

"What…a…rush…" Ruby looked up to see that Kamui was on his knees with his hands holding him up and he was sweating and panting. Ruby rushed over to him but before she could a familiar blonde fox girl appeared in front of her and grabbed her by her cloak.

"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Ruby screamed.

"Hey let my sister go!" Yang roared.

"Silence!" the girl hissed. Ruby felt a blade touch her throat but when she looked down she saw that it was a claw.

"If any of you move, she'll have my claws buried in her throat!" the fox Faunus hissed in warning. Ruby saw her sister's eyes grow red and her hair started flaming but she managed to stay still. Blake had her weapon in gun form aimed at her and Weiss and Sun had their weapons drawn.

"Who are you?" Weiss asked, attentively. Ruby managed to turn her eyes towards Kamui and she saw the wolf Faunus and the green haired ninja attending to him. She saw the man, Kaze she thought place a box in front of him and then he placed his hand on her crush's shoulder and he whispered something to him. She couldn't hear any of it but Kamui nodded as he picked the box up and stood shakily.

"I am fine now…Selkie. Release my friend and all of you, don't attack…" Kamui commanded.

"What?! She's threatening my sister!" Yang growled as she cocked her gauntlets.

"She works for my family! She's just protecting me. Do not attack!" Kamui ordered. Yang grumbled but surprisingly she relented and her semblance faded. Ruby was released from her hold and she immediately rushed to Kamui and embraced him, making him groan.

"Are you ok?" Ruby asked as she looked him over. Besides looking quite tired and exhausted like he just trained for ten hours straight, he wasn't damaged on the outside at least.

"I've been better…" Kamui sighed as he wrapped his free arm around her. Ruby didn't release him though when the hug stopped, she stayed clutched to him so that he wouldn't fall or worse run off like Blake. The others all approached as well, though the tension was very thick between the students and the three people that served the Legacy's.

"Is there anything else you need to tell me Kaze?" Kamui asked, tiredly.

"No Lord Kamui, that is all Lady Felica and Lady Camilla wished me to inform you," Kaze locked his fist into his palm and bowed. Everyone was staring at Kamui in a new light and Ruby knew he was uncomfortable.

"Very well, you three best get going. Next time send an advance to warn me you guys are coming," Kamui ordered. The three all bowed and while the two girls seemed hesitant they still left with Kaze, in a blur. Everyone looked at Kamui expectantly and Ruby knew he was going to groan before he even did it.

"Fine…I'll explain a little…later though, I'm tired," Kamui sighed.

"So you'll explain why your…servant was threatening my sister then? In the infirmary?" Yang asked, expectantly.

"Infirmary? I don't need to go to the infirmary," Kamui said, annoyed but Ruby actually agreed.

"Come on Kamui, we don't know what happened to you. We want the doctors to check," Ruby said and Kamui sighed in annoyance.

"Fine…but no tests…"
