Yo Loric Kane here

So yea here we are again, five chapters into the story. I feel proud of myself for getting this far. Did you like the previous chapter? Or notes or what ever? I just did it for funzies as well as this one. Before you read this chapter you must be warned that this is just a chapter where Arashi connects with his team. In other words this will be a light and happy chapter. Yeah...it's not my greatest strength. I like writing dark thought provoking scenes but it must be done!

What I found really hard, Weiss's interaction with Arashi. I picture Weiss to be the kind of girl who would suck up to her teachers, which she did in one chapter if I recall correctly. I fixed that problem by having Arashi address it directly.

I also had problems with Yand and Arashi. I planned their relationship to be somewhat comedic because if I didn't do that then they would have nothing in common. I mean, Blake and Arashi have their secret identities to connect with. With Ruby, they share a love for sweets. And with Weiss...well nothing really. But this is what this chapter is for.

Any way here we go.

Chapter 5:

A day in the life

Chess is a very old game. It was first conceived as an exercise for generals of armies to keep their mind sharp and flexible. It was a tradition that generals would play one game of Chess before a battle. If they lose then that would have been believed as a bad omen and if they won, a good omen. But over the years, when man shifted from facing their equally cunning man to the simpler minded Grimm, the tradition has become less and less practiced. Still, in the modern world Chess has become a favoured past time, and a way to express ones intelligence, foresight and cunning.

Though some are more talented than others.

"Ah ha!" Ruby shouted, slamming her hand on the wooden board in front of her "I finally got you now Arashi!"

Arashi looked blankly at Ruby as he moved his last black pawn piece over to the end of the board, turning it into a knight "Checkmate"

"What?!" She cried seeing that his knight stood over her king. Her shoulders slumped as she saw that there was no possible way she could save her king.

"This is like the hundredth time you beat me!" Ruby failed her arm in the air in frustration

"Sixty third" Arashi corrected, concentrating on setting up the board "We've only been playing for five days"

"That's still a lot" She grumbled "Why are you making me do this well you let the others train?"

"Because you need to learn patience. Blake has plenty and Weiss does too"

"And Yang?" Ruby pressed

Arashi shifted uncomfortably, trying to resist the urge to cover his crotch and shiver in fear "…I don't think she needs to learn patience" He shook his head to clear his thoughts "Anyway, before I get you to do anything I'm going to teach you patience by having you sit still and concentrate"

"In the most boring way possible?"

"If it works, then yes"

"Aw" She moaned "But it's Saturday! The docks are open now and we can finally use transports to go to Vale"

"For every one day spent training you become one day better then yesterday. It starts adding up and up and soon you'll find that you are leagues stronger than the people your age" Arashi lectured, pausing as he was about to place the last king piece in place "…Although, I felt the same way as you when Ozpin forced me to play Chess with him"

Ruby beamed "You mean we can go now?"

"Hmm" Arashi touched his lips "I guess I would like to go out for ice cream"

"Yes!" Ruby cheered jumping up to her feet, only for the surface below her to wobble

"You dolt!" Weiss growled from below "Don't get up so fast!"

"Sorry!"

Sitting at the edge of a cliff Weiss concentrated heavily on keeping the large white circle glyph that was suspended Arashi and Ruby over the long drop below. Arashi forbade her from using her weapon, the Myrtenaster to boost her powers during training. Without it, Weiss was almost constantly drenched in sweat, forcing her to wear cheap some black and white striped shorts and a white t-shirt that she had lying around. She was actually a bit surprised that she found those clothes in her suit cases.

Tapping the platform he and Ruby was on, Arashi saw it flickering slightly signalling that Weiss was at her limit. Looking down at Weiss, he yelled out to her "Weiss! You can let us down now! Remember to take it slowly!"

"I got it!" She snapped back, mostly because he was being distracting. Arashi felt amusement as he watched Ruby struggle to keep balance when the glyph started moving down to the ground. Quickly packing the chess board into the bag strapped to his back and fixing his hat in place, Arashi followed Ruby as they jumped back down to meet with Weiss who just collapsed on the ground

Ruby looked down at Weiss "You ok Weiss?"

"Do…I look ok?" The white haired girl panted

Arashi knelt next to the girl holding out a water bottle he got from his bag "You did good Weiss. Me and Ruby managed to play one more game than last time"

"Thank you" Weiss grabbed at bottle eagerly and squeezed half the water into her mouth. After this exercise the water felt like gold to her.

"Control is getting better too" Arashi continued "The speed of the wind is about 20 mph up here and I could hardly feel the wind when we were playing. It's impressive to say the least. I think next time I'll give you a different exercise instead of this one"

Weiss, having little to no energy left, only closed her eyes and enjoyed the immense feeling of satisfaction flow through her. After all her hard work, she managed to get on her master's good side. First stage of her plan is complete! Now on two phase two. And that is to convince him to let her to be the team leader! A simple yet brilliant plan.

"Come on Weiss" Ruby poked Weiss with a stick "Arashi let us have the rest day off"

"Wait really?" Weiss said, shaking as she struggled to sit up and slapping the stick away as she did "So no duelling practice?"

"No"

"Speed training?"

"Nope"

"Extra studying?"

"…you make it sound like I'm abusing you"

"You are" Ruby and Weiss said at the same time. Arashi dropped his head as a dark cloud formed over his head before snapping quickly out of it

"Oh well" He shrugged, extending his hand out to Weiss "Come. Lets go get Blake and Yang. The sooner we get to Beacon, the sooner I can get some ice cream"

Weiss looked at his hand reluctantly. Arashi was shorter than her by a few inches and he was almost just as skinny. Without his Aura, which would surely electrocute her to death, he couldn't possibly lift her…right? Taking the hand, she and Ruby was surprised when Arashi lifted her up onto his back, into a piggyback like it was nothing. Arashi looked up at her and smirked ever so slightly at the emotion on her face.

"You don't have too" Weiss said "I can stand up on my own"

"No you can't" Arashi scoffed "You could hardly sit up. There is no way you can walk back to Beacon. Even if you can, we are in the Emerald forest. It's about three to four Kilometres away from Beacon"

"You don't mind? I am sticky and sweaty. It might ruin your suit"

"It's ok. I didn't even pay for this suit. Just mind the hat and I'll be fine" Arashi said before they all heard a loud yell

"AGH!" Arashi rolled his eyes as he grabbed Ruby's shoulder and moved her out of the way just before a flaming bullet flew from the thick tree line through the area her head was.

"I think Yang is getting impatient" Ruby chuckled sheepishly

"That girl. She could burn down the forest" Arashi growled. Looking back at Weiss he said "Hang on, Weiss"

When she nodded, Arashi broke into a sprint with Ruby easily following from behind. It only took a minute for them to leave the dense forest behind and into a small clearing filled with rocks and few thick trees. In the middle was the fiery yellow haired young woman. Dressed in her old tattered blue and white gym uniform from years ago, Yang held her arms up in a boxers stance, watching the surrounding tree line and rocks wearily. Quickly stepping aside, Yang narrowly dodged a thick rubber ball from hitting her chest before shooting fiery bullets back into the forest with Ember Celica.

"Yang!" Arashi yelled as he and Ruby slowed to a stop "Stop it! You'll burn the whole forest down!"

"Arashi!" Yang spun around in fright "What are you doing here. Are we done already?"

Before he could respond, Yang suddenly fell to the ground with a thump, being victim to a rubber bullet impacting the back of her head. Ruby let out a small 'Eep' as she rushed to her sisters' side just as Blake jumped out of one of the large trees with a large riot gun in her hands. Weiss found it kind of funny as normally black, dark and mysterious Blake wore the brightest white cloak she had laid her eyes on. And she had seen many in her years. Though she still wore her black bow. She refused to take it off for some reason.

"Yang? Yang?! YANG!" Ruby cried to the sky, before she was forced to cover her head as Arashi knocked her head slightly

"Good work, Blake. You managed to hit her this time" Arashi congratulated with thumbs up "Though we did distract her so I guess it's not that impressive"

"I understand" She said, eye brows raised at Weiss's place on the younger boy's back "I'll do better next time"

"No need" He waved off "You're already good enough as it is. I didn't even know where you were until you jumped out of that tree. And remember what I said before we started this exercise. If you can hide in white…"

"Then I can hide anywhere" Blake finished. Arashi nodded in satisfaction before looking at Yang who was getting back up with the help of Ruby

"Why are we doing this anyway?" Yang said, rubbing her sore head

"Side from Ruby, I just wanted to improve your core abilities before I do anything else and to see how fast each of you improve" he answered quickly

"What about me?" Yang growled pointing at all the bruises scattered across her body "All I'm doing is getting shot at"

"…Target practice. Do you have a problem with that" Arashi glared causing her to flinch

*Boom*

The jaws of all the members of Team RWBY dropped when they looked along the tree line and saw a small mushroom cloud growing in the distance.

"That must be team JNPR" Arashi grinned, making the girls turn to him in disbelief "What? Jaune asked me to find him an instructor who can teach his team"

"And who did you get for them?" Weiss asked

"Ozpin of course"

Ruby stared at the mushroom cloud, silently praying for her friend "Wait, is that what you went through when Ozpin taught you?"

"More or less" He shrugged "Ozpin really likes to give you advanced exercises right off the bat. Just be glad I'm going to take my time with your training. We do have four whole years together" He turned to face them all "Well, looks like team JNPR is going to be out of commission for a while. As for us I think a bit of leisure time is in order"

"You mean we can go?" Yang asked "No more weight training?"

"No. No more weight training"

"No more resistance training?" Blake asked

"No"

"No more dust training?"

"No! No more training!" His shoulders dropped in depression "Just…just got and enjoy your free time"

"Yes!"

"Ahhh that hits the spot" Arashi hummed, taking another scoop of chocolate ice-cream and waffles and gently settling it into his mouth

"Glad you like it sir" A cute chestnut haired girl smiled over the counter "The Ichiraku deserts parlour makes the best Ice cream here at downtown Vale"

"Hmm" Arashi nodded, holding his empty plate into the air "Can I have another. And this time I want some marshmallows as well"

"Right away sir" She said in rehearsed happiness, taking Arashi's empty plate with her.

For normal people, the amount of ice cream Arashi can eat would make them sick to the stomach. But to him it was like drinking water, except more delicious. Ice cream to him was like his way of letting things go. Where people have stress balls they could squeeze all day, he had ice cream where he could feel the sugar flow down his throat carrying his worry with them. He was glad that he could eat as much as he did. And so was the Ichiraku desert parlour that was for sure. Without enough ice cream, he wouldn't make it even a day.

"Can I have one too, please? With strawberries" Arashi turned to his side and saw Ruby dressed in her usual red combat gear pulling up the chair beside him in the small empty parlour

"Yes miss" The waitress replied walking into the back of the parlour. Arashi looked at Ruby with a curious eye but didn't say anything. Taking the glass of milk that was at his side he took a long drawn out sip from the straw to wash down the ice cream he had just ate. Ruby then turned to Arashi with a grin stretched across her face

"I knew I would find you here Arashi" She said with glee

"Oh?" he raised his eye brow

"I mean you gave me and the team ice cream after every training session. So I guessed that love ice cream so much that you had to be in a place that sells ice cream"
"But there are dozens of ice cream parlours in downtown Vale. How do you know it would be this one?"

"It was the closest one to the docks" She said simply

"Ah" Arashi smiled "You're finally using your head Ruby"

"Hehe, well it takes one to know one" She giggled as the waitress returned with two plates of ice cream

"Here you go! One waffle delight with marshmallows and one with strawberries" She placed them down in front of the two "Here you go!"

"Thank you" They both said. Taking their spoons, Arashi and Ruby melted in bliss at the creamy cold treat.

Looking back at Ruby, Arashi asked "So why did you want to find me? Have something to talk about?"

"Not really" Ruby shrugged "Yang is hanging out with her friends, Weiss went shopping and Blake disappeared when the second we got off the transports"

"Hmm, seems like Blake has learned her lesson well" Arashi mused silently

"Before Beacon, I'd be hanging out with my friends or visiting Dust and weapon shops" She continued "But my friends live near Central Vale. It'd too long to get there. And the Dust and weapon shops are starting to close because of robberies"

"Robberies?" He said aloud

"Yea. Shops are starting to go out of business and are closing down everywhere" She whispered "You don't think that Roman would have anything to do with it don't you?"

"Why are you whispering" Arsahi flicked her forehead a little "Don't think too much about it Ruby. It's not our job to go looking for trouble. Our job is to fight Grimm and to keep the peace. Let the cops do their job and find Roman. Besides, a killer like him isn't someone you would want to get mixed up in"

"Killer?"

"Yes. I'm not sure if you know by now but Roman has killed a lot of people to achieve his goals whatever they may be. Mostly they are people who get in his way. Sometimes it is for just plain amusement. Killers like that, like Roman is dangerous to themselves and the world around them. If you get involved with a killer like him then your life won't be the same again" Arashi looked down at his half eaten ice cream "Then again, you could do worse. The number of people he killed pales in comparison with some of the more deadly villains of this world"

"You mean like team JOLT" She didn't know why she said it. It was obvious that Arashi had some kind of dark past with them and bringing it up would only be dangerous. But she did. Not because of curiosity. She may not know it but being the girl she was, she wanted to help Arashi. He was going to be in her life for the next four years and he was her first friend she made when she came to Beacon.

The spoon in Arashi's hand suddenly bent in 90 degrees as his crimson eyes calmly turned to Ruby "…Yea team JOLT"

"Team JOLT are killers" Ruby said "Is that how you got involved with them?"

"You are not supposed to know that" His eyes lingered for a moment before he looked away "Team JOLT are killers and I did get involved with them. My life has not been normal ever since they came into my life. But that is not the reason I am involved with them"

"Then why?"

"You are treading on thin ice Ruby" Arashi closed his eyes as he took another scoop of ice cream "They killed so many people. They are as tainted as the Grimm I fight. They will not flinch when they see another human being take their last breath. They say that to save a life insures transcendence and to take one insures damnation. I will never be like them because they are monsters"

Ruby looked at the lone tear threatening to roll out of Arashi's eyes and realised she had pushed too far "Ah sorry Arashi! I was just curious that's all"

"No no" Arashi waved off, bringing himself back together "I'm all right"

"…You know sometimes you sound a lot older then you really are, Arashi" Ruby smiled

"Yea" He signed "Hey Ruby. Promise me something"

"What is it?"

"Never become a killer. No matter what"

Ruby giggled holding out her hand "Sure. As long as you promise the same thing"

"…Yea" Arashi took her hand.

Ruby smiled before taking her bowl and holding it up into the air "A toast!"

"A toast?" Arashi raised an eyebrow "For what?"

"I don't know! Who cares!" She cheered. The blue haired boy started at Ruby for a minute before sheepishly taking his bowl and tapping it agenised hers. Ruby laughed as she grabbed his bowl of half eaten ice cream and forced it down Arashi's throat. His arms started flail in the air when he realised what was happening. When he swallowed the whole thing he clutched his head in a brain freeze as Ruby draped her arm over his shoulders and drowned down her ice cream, getting a brain freeze herself. Despite his major brain freeze, Arashi smiled as he and Ruby failed around graphing their heads.

"There he is!"

Arashi turned to look outside the ice cream parlour and frowned when he saw a crowd of camera wielding hound dogs he came to know as the paparazzi

"You mind paying for this Ruby?" He asked the red haired girl

"Wha-"

"Thanks" Arashi yelled as he ran out the front door.

"Hey wait!" Ruby tried to reach out to him only find the waitress standing at the door with a small piece of paper in her hands

"Forgetting something?" The smile on her face did not make Ruby jump for joy.

Neither did the receipt she forced to pay

At first when Weiss saw Arashi stalking the streets of down town Vale with a crowd of photographers, she didn't know what to think. Well it was no surprise that was for sure. Arashi was very popular and having people follow him around was something that should not be out of the ordinary. That was until she remembered that until now, the faceless legendary huntsman was not so faceless anymore. He did announce that he was Arashi at their initiation ceremony. Rumours spread quickly, she knew that all too well.

So being one of his apprentices, she had an obligation to help him out with this type of thing.

"Hey back off!" Weiss yelled as she stomped up to the group of paparazzi with a glare that could freeze water. A tick mark formed on her head as they only moved around her like a rock to the tide "Hey listen to me!"

"Weiss?"

The girl turned around and found Arashi standing beside her "What are you doing here?"

"Arashi?" Weiss looked back at the camera men who kept walking forward into the distance "How did you…?"
"They are idiots" He shrugged "Although we might as well get out of here. They might come back"

Weiss stared at Arashi as he walked off inside and into a mall "Hey wait up!"

"They get so annoying sometimes" He said when Weiss caught up

"I know what you mean" Weiss nodded in an understanding way

"You do?" He questioned as he swiped a wig of a mannequin before quickly turning into a clothes store, Weiss following from behind

"Yea. Well sort of. I'm the heiress of the Schnee dust company. I had people following me all the time. I had bodyguards tasting every food and drink just in case it was poisoned, sons of greedy families and sometimes even girls sucking up to me"

Arashi stopped to look at some clothes on the rack "I never thought that it would be that bad for you Weiss"

"Oh believe me, it is" Weiss looked down and fiddled with the hem of her skirt "I hardly had any friends because of the White fang and the people who did want to be my friends just wanted to be rich"

"As far as I know, very few people can handle being alone. Most people your age would have accepted them as friends" He said picking out a light shirt before moving to another clothing rack and picking out another piece of clothing "So why didn't you?"

"Because they didn't want to be my friend" She explained "Every time they talk to me I can tell they are just faking those smiles and emotions. They don't care about me. They don't want to get to know me. I hate people like that"

"But isn't that what you're doing to me?"

"What?" She paused

"I can tell you're faking your emotions when you talk to me" Arashi looked Weiss in the eyes "I can tell from your voice that you want to say something different. I can tell that smile of yours is fake by the small twitch of your lips. You are almost as fake as them, don't you think Weiss"

"Wha- How dare you" She growled clenching her fist

"There it is. Your true emotions" Arashi let a cocky grin form on his face "Now tell me what do you think about me Weiss"

"I don-"

"Come on" He interrupted "Tell me how you hate me"

And for the first time since they met she glared at him "You want to know how I think about you? Well fine! You eat so much ice cream that it's impossible to not to become obese and yet you're skinny as a bone! I hate it how you haven't chosen our team leader yet and I hate it that you had it easy for your whole life! We had to work hard to get to Beacon and you just went through it like it was nothing all because of your special power! I hate it how you chose Ruby as your apprentice when there are thousands of other people better than her!"

"Like you?"

"Yes like me!" Weiss felt her teeth grinding as she glared the shorter boy but stopped when she felt a hand on her head

"Good" Arashi smiled as he patted her head "Even if half of those things aren't true, I'm glad that I know what you think of me"

"Hmm" She huffed, slapping his hand away

"And now that I know," Arashi held out his hands getting a blank look in return "I wouldn't mind be friends with you"

"Wait what?"

"You heard me. You said you hated people who fake their emotions. So do I. I mean, I'm the famous Arashi Nii. I have plenty experience with people sucking up to me. And now that you stopped sucking up to me, I wouldn't mind being your friend"

Weiss stared at Arashi's extended hand and reluctantly took it "Yea. A friend"

Yes yes yes! I made a new friend! Thanks Ruby! Those lessons really came in handy! Arashi thought, picturing a chibi Ruby giving him thumbs up

"So now that we got this over with, you mind if I go change" Arashi asked as he entered a fitting room and drew the curtain

"…Sure" Weiss sighed as she slumped on a chair that was conveniently placed by the fitting room. Realising what just happened, she was lucky Arashi wasn't the type to blow the roof off the building in rage. And some of the things she said she hated about Arashi made her sound like such a…Yea she was extremely lucky. Weiss made up her mind that she would apologise what she said to the younger boy...But can they really be friends? He was her master but he was also young enough to relate to her.

Agh she was thinking too much. She need to get her mind off things and settled looking at a rack of cute dresses. Wait…dresses? Looking around, Weiss felt confusion as she saw racks filled with skirts, skinny jeans, dresses and blouses. In the corner she saw colourful ribbons, shoes, hair clips, bows and ear rings. It slowly dawned on her what type of shop this was. When she heard the rustling of a curtain, Weiss turned to the dressing room. She felt her eyes widen so much that it felt like her eye balls were going to fall out its sockets.

"So?" He asked "What do you think?

"WHY ARE YOU WEARING GIRLS CLOTHES?!"

Standing there in the fitting room Arashi blushed a little in embarrassment. Weiss looked on in horror as she saw the cute girlish clothing her master was wearing. A long light blue skirt reached down to his knees which matched the white stockings and shoes he wore. The colourful flower patterned blouse matched the blonde wig that reached just past his shoulders was tied into a single pony tail with a yellow bow. Two yellow hair pins kept the wig's fringe to the side, showing off his red eyes that now looked more feminine than usual.

And he actually looked like a girl! A cute one! Weiss knew that he was skinny and had a face like Ruby's but this is too much!

"You don't like it?" he asked bringing his hand to fiddle with his wig. It was then Weiss realised how much of a girly voice Arashi had

"Of course I don't!" She yelled "Why are you dressed like that anyway?! Do you do this often?!"

"Because this is one of my ultimate disguises!" Arashi said proudly in a deceptively feminine voice "I thought since I'm short, have a small body and have a young voice I could easily pass off as a girl. No one would think that little old me would be the famous Arashi Nii" Arashi started to pose in the mirror of the side "Plus I look cute don't I? Glynda thinks so"

"…Glynda?"

"Yea" He flicked his hair to the side "She used to dress me up like this all the time when I went to Beacon"

"…You poor poor boy"

Arashi paused when he saw the paparazzi outside the shop "Hey Weiss can you do me a favour?"

"What?"

Suddenly Arashi pointed at Weiss and yelled "OH LOOK! IT'S THE HEIRESS TO THE SCHNEE DUST COMPANY!"

"Wait what?!" Looking outside she shivered in fear as the group of camera man all turned and looked at her. Looking back she found no trace of Arashi aside from his abandoned suit in the dressing room "I'm going to kill that boy!"

"I love these shoes" Arashi giggled as he skipped down the streets of Vale "And this wig isn't too bad either. Kinda looks real too. Maybe I should get some blue contacts to go with is. But this skirt. Agh, It might look cute but it's uncomfortable. I should get a refund…Oh wait. I stole this. Never mind!"

There was a time, years ago, when Arashi wouldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. A time where he stood well away from skirts and colourful bows. The younger him would have bleached at the thought of dressing like a girl. Like any boy, he would have screamed and run out the door if he was ever forced to dress as a girl. Then he met Glynda. At first, dressing and acting like a girl was just a means of blending in and escaping the sight of people who came looking for trouble. But somewhere down the line it became a hobby. Not one he could be proud of but a still a hobby.

Even when he left Beacon and got a job as a member of Vale's search and destroy division, he always looked forward to his next pay check so he could actually buy his own clothes instead of using Glynda's outdated clothing. Though, it is kind of depressing that most of his wardrobe was made up of blouses, skirts and shoes and that acting like a girl felt sometimes more natural than being a boy. That did not stop him from cross dressing though. Not at all. I mean look at him! He was just too cute!

"Hey girly" Arashi looked up and saw a much taller, older and bulky man standing over him "You look lonely. You should come with me. I can give you a real good time"

Inside, Arashi inwardly rolled his eyes "No thanks" He said politely, in a practiced female voice "I'm fine"

"Oh come on" The man grinned, placing his large hand on his shoulder squeezing it slightly "Some pals of mine are throwing a party. I would love for you to come"

You don't know who you're messing with Arashi thought as he silently started to charge up his fist with lightning

"Look gi-AGH!" Arashi blinked as the man was launched sideways and into a brick wall via motorcycle to the head. Poor guy. Although he would have suffered much worse if he wasn't sent flying so he shouldn't say anything. Looking to his side Arashi was a little surprised to see Yang putting down an expensive looking yellow motorcycle. Out of everyone he never thought she would 'save' him. What's next? Blake is going to jump out of nowhere? When Yang grinned at him, he instinctively started to fiddle with his…Ahem, skirt.

"Hey!" Yang lifted a hand in greeting "Are you ok?"

"I am" Arashi said "Thank you"

"I'm Yang" She smiled "Who are you?"

"I'm Yuki" He quickly said. Yuki was his cover name for his female disguise. He chose that name because it was cutest one he could come up with.

"Yuki? What a weird name…Say" Yang leaned in close to his face "You're the second person I've seen who has red eyes"

"Really?" Arashi chuckled nervously, felt sweat threatening to form on his brow "I thought I was the only one"
"Hmmm" She hummed, before she spotted something sticking out of his skirt "Oh? Are you from Signal?"

"Eh?"

"That sword" She pointed at the blade that was hidden up his skirt

"Ah yea. Sure" He went along with it. Yang was basically making up his cover story for him.

"Do you know a girl named Ruby Rose? She's my sister and she went to Signal"

"Ahh…no. I don't"

"Really? You look just as young as her?" Yang pressed before shrugging "Oh well. You should be careful of perverts like him. Who knows what they'll do to you"

"Thanks again. I think I should be going now"

"Hey wait" Yang grabbed his shoulder "We should hang out. I'm bored and my friends ditched me to go to this club in the middle of downtown"

"Oh no. You don't have to bring me with you" Arashi said, waving his hands frantically

"Oh come on" Yang grinned, pushing Arashi by the shoulders to her bike "I'll be fun. I know this place that can ease the tension in your shoulders. Plus you owe me"

"But-" Arashi blinked when he found himself holding onto Yang's back. He felt his stomach drop when Yang started to revving up the motorbike "Wait Yang!"

"Hang on!"

Let it be known that Arashi screams like a girl

When the bike came to a halt Arashi collapsed to his knees, trying to hold the bile in his throat from coming out of his mouth.

"It wasn't that bad" Yang laughed, patting him on the back

"I felt like I was going to die" He shivered

"Hahaha! You're funny! Anyway, where're here" She said.

Arashi looked up and saw that Yang brought her to a very fancy cream coloured shop. Beside the doors two small green plants stood as water was being poured into them through pipes and seeping out the bottom into two garden water features. Above the shop was one large sign which said in big bold letters 'Jonson spa and rest resort'. Spa resort? They still have those?...Wait. He didn't have clothes to change into! Does that mean he'll have to get naked? With Yang?! He can't let that happen or she'll kill him!

"Spa for two please" Yang asked the receptionist as she handed her a wad of cash. Arashi blinked. Why was he on Yang's shoulder?!

"Yes mam" The receptionist nodded, her eyes lingering on Arashi for a moment. Pointing to a door to the side she said "Just go through there and enjoy your stay"

"Wait Yang!" Arashi squealed, trying to free himself from her grip "Let go of me!"

"Ok" Yang dropped Arashi into a chair. Arashi looked around in fear as he realised he was in a changing room. The girls changing room.

"Yang!" Arashi shouted "I can't go in! I uh…don't have any swimming gear!"

"You're not supposed to wear any in this kind of spa" Yang said as she unbuttoned her vest. Arashi let out a small 'eep' as he covered his eyes. Yang let out a knowing smile "Ohhhh. You're one of those pure girls aren't you? My sister is like you too"

"W-Why are we here anyway?" Arashi stuttered

"To relive stress. Didn't I tell you?" He could hear Yang's clothes dropping onto the floor "I go to Beacon you see and I have this master who forces me to do all these ridicules exercises"

Arashi paused "…Your master?"

"Yea. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to tell you who he is but I can tell you he's out to get me"

"What do you mean?" He asked

"…I might have done something to make him hate me" She chuckled nervously

"Wait…" Arashi gasped "You're scared of him!"

"No!" Yang denied "…Well, maybe a little bit"

She's scared of me! Arashi thought How can she be scared of me?! I'm scared of her!

It was then he got an idea "Then how about you start over?"

"Excuse me?" He heard

"Exactly what I said. Just talk to him and get to know him. Who knows, he might be as scared of you as you are of him"

"It's not that easy Yuki"

"Trust me. It'll work"

"I guess it's worth a shot" Arashi smiled. Who knew Yang was scared of him. Him! He had trouble keeping a straight face let alone a professional one. He could finally hang back knowing Yang won't squeeze his nuts into mush.

"Hey why are you still covering your eyes? We're both girls" Suddenly Arashi felt his arms being brought down and was forced to look at Yang. And what a sight it was. Standing in her yellow undergarments Yang placed a hand on her hips as she looked at Arashi. He couldn't help by notice how her bra made her assets look a lot more pronounced and he swear that he could see a faint pink through her bra. The boy in disguise felt fear as he felt his…little pal stand up. Yang giggled at the look on his face "Oh don't worry. Someday you'll look just like me"

"Oh..ah…I uh"

"Now!" Yang started as she grabbed the hem of Arashi's skirt "Lets get this off!"

"Wait Yang!" Arashi yelled, trying to push her away

"Come on! I wanna get in the…" Yang paused "Hey…please tell me that it your sword?"

"I-It's my sword" Arashi stuttered as he felt a hand squeezing his manly bit

"…Wait" Yang thought, looking up at his eyes "Red eyes…Arashi?"

"Hehehe…Hi?"

"…."

"…."

"KYAAAAAA!"

"AGHHHHHH!"

"Never doing that again" Arashi sighed as he fixed his suit in place. After his unfortunate encounter with his fiery apprentice Arashi thought it would be wise if he were to just get his suit and get back to Beacon as soon as possible. Luckily when he went back to the store, his suit was still in one piece. The same could not be said for the store itself. The place looked like a damn tornado went through the place. He hoped they have insurance. They needed it. Now all he needed to do now it to get back to Beacon in one piece.

Arashi stopped when he looked to his side when he heard a sound of a trash can falling over. Looking to his side he briefly saw a dark figure lurking an alleyway. Sniffing the air, he smelt the faint smell of…tuna and steel. Blake he realised. What in the world is she doing? If she doesn't make it to the docks in time, she won't be able to make it back to Beacon. Arashi sighed before turning into the alleyway trying to find his stealthy student.

"Blake?" Arashi called, hearing scurrying of rats in return "Is that you? The ships to Beacon are going to stop soon. Where are you?"
"What are you doing here?" Arashi looked down to his side and saw Blake sitting behind a garbage bin

"I could ask the same thing of you" He put a hand on his hip noticing the weary look on her face "Is something wrong? Did I push you too hard during training?"

"What? No" She shook her head "It's nothing"

"Really? I don't believe you" Arashi said, lowering himself down and sat next to the girl "Something is bothering you"

"…You wouldn't understand" She said

Arashi rolled his eyes and knocked her head "Don't say that. Ever. It doesn't suit a girl like you"

Blake glared a little as she rubbed her head "But you won't. You're too young"

"Oh please" He scoffed "That argument became redundant when I became a Huntsman. Just tell me your problem"

The black haired girl looked at him for a second before looking down at her lap "I saw a Faunus today. Two. It was a mother and her daughter. All they wanted was to buy a small music box. I think it was the girl's birthday. But the owners refused to serve them. When they tried to leave, I saw a group of men pick on the mother well the little girl cried and yelled at them. She was scared. I can tell. I wanted to help them so badly. But I just stood there watching. I didn't help them but I didn't. I feel disgusted that I didn't do anything"

Arashi noticed that Blake was clenching her fist so hard that it drew blood "You're a Faunus sympathiser" he said "There is nothing wrong with not helping them. Even though it might have been the right thing, you can't help it. As sentient beings, all we truly care about is staying alive. Besides, you're only human Blake. And after all my years as a huntsman, I learnt that humans are as very emotional creatures.

"…You're wrong" She whispered looking at Arashi "Please, can you keep a secret"

"Depends" Arashi shrugged "What is it about?"

Blake reached for her bow "It's not that I'm a sympathiser. It's just that-" Arashi's eyes widened when the bow was pulled off to show two small catlike ears "-I feel like I betrayed my own kind"

"…Hehe…AhahahAHAAHAHAH!" Blake glared as Arashi cackled like an insane man "AAHAHAHA, I'm such an idiot! AHAHA That explains why you smell like tuna! AHAHAHAH Why didn't I realise sooner?!AHAHA" He stared to settle down when Blake sounded like she was going to jump him at any second "Hehehehe, Sorry Blake. I just find it hilarious that I didn't figure it out sooner!"

She growled at him

"Look" Arashi chuckled "Thank you for telling me that you're a Faunus. It's flattering that you did"

"Hmp" Blake huffed folding her arms and turning away. Arashi looked at Blake feeling a slight tinge of guilt. Ok. Maybe laughing wasn't the best reaction ever. The girl did share her secret with him.

Shaking his head he said "I'm sorry I laughed. But I never thought that you were a Faunus. I was right to say that you had a talent for sneaking. You basically tricked everyone that you were human" Blake still refused to look at him "…Well at least we have something in common right?"

Blake looked at Arashi "What?"

"You heard me" Arashi smiled taking hold of his hat "We have something in common"

Blake was more than surprise when she saw two blue wolf ears twitching in broad day light "You're a Faunus too?"

"Yup" Arsahi signed "I try to keep it under wraps. Being a well known as I am, being a Faunus is a huge thing. Who knows what would happen if Vale knew what I was"

"…That is why you smell like dog"

"Hey! I take that as an insult" Arashi grinned "I'm a wolf"

Blake stared at Arashi for a moment before chuckling silently "You're right. It is funny"

"Try not to get emotional about this type of stuff" He said "It is natural for a sentient species to mistreat another. Because they are hateful creatures. Humans and the Faunus are no different. These two species are always at each other's throats true, but we are not dead yet. You know why? Because of the Grimm. It is the law of the jungle. If there is a threat that endangers two species, they will eventually learn to work together, even if they hate each other. That is why I believe things will get better eventually"

"Ruby was right" Blake smiled "You do sound older than you look"

"I became a huntsman when I was fifteen. What do you expect" He smiled back. Abruptly standing up Arashi fixed his hat back on top of head "Well I guess I should get going. You should as well Blake"

The raven haired girl nodded and tied her bow to hide her ears "I will. I just got to do something before I go"

"Right" he nodded, walking off "See ya at dinner then"

By the time he was gone, Blake strangely felt like the world was just a little bit lighter

(Not to be taken seriously)

When Arashi stepped off the transport to Beacon, he was confused to find Ruby, Weiss and Yang waiting for him. Well not so much when it came to Yang, she would no doubt be wondering why he was dressed up like a girl, but Weiss and Ruby? Why were they waiting for him?

"Hi" Arashi waved his hand "What are you girls doing here?"

*Slap*

"Ow!" He yelped, cupping his cheek "What was that for?!"

"What was that for? That was for leaving me the photographers!" Shouted Weiss "Because of you, I can't take one step into Vale without a bunch of creepy old men staking me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll call some people and get this thing sor-"

*Slap*

"Agh! Ruby!"

"You made me pay for your food!" She cried, throwing a receipt at his face "I used all my money! And now I can't afford oil for Crescent Rose"

"Ok ok" Arashi waved "I'll pay you ba-"

*Crack*

"AGH!" Before he knew it, Arashi was sent flying and slammed into a brick wall, making web cracks along the surface

"That was for peaking on me!" He heard Yang shout "You pervert!"

"My nose" He moaned, trying to stop the bleeding. He opened his eyes when he noticed a shadow over him. Looking up he saw the now revealed cat Faunus, Blake "Ah thank god Blake! Do you mind if you…help…me" Arashi's sentence slowed to a crawl when he saw Blake drew a knife with empty eyes "Ah…What are you doing?"

"Don't take this personally" Blake started in a cute voice "But I hate dogs"

"Wait wait wait!" Arashi stuttered "Remember Blake! As a Faunus we have to keep our instincts out of control. Remember"

"…"

"…"

Arashi felt sweet trickle down his forehead as Blake lifted her knife into the air

"Blake?" Arashi and Blake turned and found team JNPR standing behind her, each with singed clothing and hair "What are you doing?" Jaune asked

"Teaching him a lesson" Blake said nonchalant. Team JNPR looked between Blake's creepy smile and Arashi's frightened look

"…can we join in?"

"Sure"

"Hey hey hey! Lets not do anything we'll regret! Guys? Hey come on! Wait! AGHHHHHHHHH!"

Even though his wounds were healed by the next day, Ozpin and Glynda couldn't get Arashi to leave his room for the next week.

I bet you're confused why Arashi is a cross dresser. Well I did say he was not normal. Trust me, I didn't want Arashi to turn out this way but inspiration struck and I just had to write it. Even I felt a bit dirty writing it but it will bear fruit sooner or later.

Any way, I hope this shows you how childish Arashi is deep, deep, deep down...Hopefuly
