Chapter 7: Preperations

A/N: Welcome back to my RWBY series. I know that a lot of people have been waiting on this chapter to come out along with my Naruto fic but I've been busy a lot lately. I'm sorry that I couldn't get these out for you guys but between work and trying to get enlisted in the Navy I've had a lot going on. But now that I have a new computer so I can actually see what it is that I'm typing I will be trying to get these out faster for you guys. So without further adieu, here's chapter 7!

"Oh you have got to be shitting me."

Dante and Dustin just stood there in their pose.

Torchwich face palmed. "That has to be the worst introduction that I have ever seen." He moved his hand to see that the two were gone. "Huh? Where did they go?"

Everyone looked around to see them huddled in a corner with rainclouds over their heads poking the ground. This made them sweatdrop again. The entire time this was happening, Weiss was getting extremely frustrated and was twitching her eyebrow. "WILL YOU TWO KNOCK IT OFF! WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING HERE!"

Dante and Dustin jumped up like nothing happened and saluted Weiss. "Yes ma'am!" they then turned back to Torchwich and started speaking. "So you decided to take the Faunus…"

"Feed them things like they can take over…"

"When really you wanted…"

"To use them as a work force…"

"Is that correct?" they finished together.

Torchwich narrowed his eyes. "No we are mutual partners, but I think it's time we got rid of all of you!" with that he lunged at the group with his Melodic Cudgel. Seeing this everyone dodged his attack. He decided to target the girls first to get them out the way. Looking at Yang he turned his cane around and fired his grappling hook at her attempting to pull her towards him. Seeing this she caught his hook and smirked at him. Torchwich just looked on emotionlessly as she pulled him towards her to try and hit him. He ducked the punch she threw at him as he flew and kicked her in the back but before he could capitalize more on the hit, he was attacked by Ruby who started trying to slash at him with Crescent Rose. Torchwich dodged all of her strikes and brought his Melody up to fire a round at Ruby only for Blake to catch it with the ribbon on her Gambol Shroud. She held him place so that Weiss could make her move. She reared back and attempted a stab with her Mrytenaster. Torchwich saw this and went wide eyed for a second before pulling the ribbon on his cane to throw Blake in the way of the strike.

Blake flew wide eyed at Weiss who stopped and caught her. Torchwich took this time to get some distance from everyone and plan his escape. "Well as much fun as this is I really must be going. But I'll leave you with a present before I leave." He threw his hands up and 4 apache helicopters came out and started firing at them. Torchwich took this time to jump onto one and leave while the girls were trying to avoid being shot.

"Where are the guys?!" Weiss shouted.

As if on cue the three helicopters left were shot with a beam of fire surrounded in black lighting. The girls turned around to see the boys standing there with their Vongola Ring weapons activated and walking towards them. Dante looked on with a raised eyebrow, "Where did Torchwich go?"

"He got away while we were trying not to get shot by those damn helicopters. Where were you two at anyway?" Yang asked with irritation in her voice.

"Well someone had to get all the Dust that he was trying to steal back." Dustin said speaking up as their Vongola rings deactivated. "We were taking out the ships that were taking the containers. Plus the authorities showed up and thought we were with the White Fang. Took some talking to get them to understand that we go to Beacon but we finally managed to when all those apache's showed up."

The girls just nodded at this. "Well since all this is over lets head back." Blake said.

"Yeah that would be best." Dante said. "Me and the guys got some stuff we need to take care of."

This peaked the girl's interest. "And what might that be? You guys have been spending a lot of time together lately. What are you up to?" Weiss asked with narrowed eyes.

Dante smiled and wrapped his arm around Blake's shoulder who wrapped her arm around his waist pulling her close to him and started walking off with her and started walking off together with Dustin. "Nothing you need to worry your pretty little head about Weiss." He said with a smirk. The last three members of team RWBY looked at each other and nodded. A silent confirmation that they would figure out what it is that they were doing.

They proceeded to return to Beacon Academy and go back to their rooms. Dante, being the gentleman that he was, proceeded to walk Blake to her room and give her a good night kiss. "Goodnight my cute little Faunus." With that he left to go to his room while Blake walked into hers with a smile on her face. The moment she entered her room she groaned at the look on Yang's face. She knew that she wasn't going to be going to sleep any time soon.

Dante walked into his room and got ready for bed. "You do know that they're going to be trying to figure out what it is that we are doing right?" Dustin asked his brother not even looking up from the book he was reading.

Dante walked back in from the bathroom wearing some basketball shorts, "Yeah I know they are but it doesn't matter really. We already planned on revealing ourselves." He picked up his guitar and started playing Somebody.

Dustin nodded at this. "Yeah your right. Well I'm going to sleep. Night bro."

"Night."

The next few days were a blur. The guys spent most of their time in Dante and Dustin's room, but every time the girls came in right when they entered it was always empty. They even went so far as to enlist Pyrrha and Nora's help, but they still couldn't figure out what they were up to. They finally decided that they had enough and cornered the group when they were going down for lunch.

"Ok that's it. What have you four been up to?! You've been avoiding us for the past few days!" Weiss shouted at them.

"I mean come on! You and Blake just got together and you haven't even talked to her!" Ruby said joining in.

The entire time the girls continued to rant the guys just smiled and nodded at each other. Dante closed his eyes and put his hand up to stop the girls in the middle of their rant. He opened his eyes to see them all glaring at him but he just continued to smile. "Now girls we appreciate the worry that you all have for us as to what we've been up to but that is a secret." They were about to interrupt but he quickly continued. "A secret that will soon be public knowledge. Now Blake I'm sorry that I haven't had the time to actively spend time with you and I will be rectifying that mistake tonight. Would you do me the honors of accompanying me on a date this evening?" he asked her.

Blake for her part was speechless. She didn't expect to be asked on a date today, she was completely focused on finding out what it was that they were up to but she wasn't going to let the opportunity to spent time with her boyfriend slip away. "Yes I would love to." She said with a smile.

Dante's smile made her heart melt. "Excellent! I'll be by your room at 7. Ok?" once she nodded he turned to the girls as a whole. "Now for all of you. Please stop trying to figure out what it is that we are doing. You fill find out in a few days ok? And we would like to give you these." He finished smirking as he handed them all envelopes.

When the girls opened them the ensuing squeal could be heard all across campus. "Where did you get these!?" Yang yelled clutching the backstage pass tickets close to her chest. "I couldn't even find when their next performance was!"

"Well all four of us," Ren said pointing to him and the others, "are on pretty good terms with the band and before you ask no we will not introduce you to them. You will meet them at the show. Now we must be going we'll see you all later."

They left the girls to their devices and broke out into laughter at their facial expressions as they held onto the tickets. "I gotta say, it was a great idea to give them the tickets before the concert Dante." Jaune said.

Dante shrugged. "Meh, it'll get them off our backs for a bit while we practice. So let's go, we got a show to do!" they all cheered and went to practice.

Later that day Ozpin announced that there was going to be a music competition between the schools at the festival but that he already chose who will be performing for them. When asked who it was he said it's a surprise. The only ones who knew were the girls and they were extremely giddy. At ten till 7, Dante could be seen walking towards team RWBY's room with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He wore a pair of black slacks with white suspenders hanging down, a white long sleeve silk shirt tucked in under a black tuxedo jacket, and a pair of white dress shoes. He took a deep breath as he stood outside her door before knocking. A faint coming was heard before the door opened and his breath was taken away. Standing before him in his own words was a goddess. Black wore a black form fitting strapless dress that hugged her body showing all of her curves. With this she wore a pair of black stilettos and her usual black bow. While he was taking her in she was doing the same and mentally licking her lips at what she saw. All in all she liked it.

Gathering his bearings and clearing his throat, Dante handed the bouquet to Blake. "These are for you my queen." He said handing the flowers to her with a bow. Blake blushed a deep crimson as she thanked him for the flowers and put them inside. She came back and wrapped her arm into his offered arm, but before they could even leave the rest of Team RWBY opened the door back to give Dante one message. "If she comes back crying, you will wish you were never born." While Weiss said this Yang was cracking her knuckles while Ruby was stroking Crescent Rose. All three of them had evil grins on their faces. Dante paled and nodded quickly before taking a hurried leave with a glaring Blake.

They went outside and took a airship to the mainland. "So where are we going exactly?" Blake wondered.

"Nope. Now that would be telling. You will just have to wait and see my queen." Was the only answer she received. No other words were spoken but they were content in just walking in each other's presence. As they got closer to their destination Blake realized that they were in the rich part of town but took no notice deciding to just lean her head against Dante's arm and continue on. Dante smiled down at her and entered a restaurant called The Golden Dragon.

One look inside had Blake looking wide eyed. She looked at Dante to see him smirking as the approached the podium. "Yes we have a reservation for Iverson."

The man looked down the list. "Ah yes here we are right this way sir." He led them to a secluded booth and left them to their waiter.

"Dante this place is extremely hard to get into! How did you get us reservations!?" she whispered at him.

"Well the owner of the restaurant is a big fan of The Forsaken Grimm. I told her that I could get her an autograph and a picture with them and she let me come any time I want."

Blake's mouth dropped at this. But before she could say anything their waiter arrived and asked what they would like to drink. Blake for some water while Dante got some raspberry flavored sweet tea. Their waiter said they would be back in a moment to take their orders.

"So when are you planning on getting her the picture and autograph?" she wondered.

Dante smiled at her. "I already did. And don't worry you'll get all the pictures you want at the festival babe." He said seeing the look on her face. Their waiter returned with their drinks and asked them if they were ready to order. Blake order some tilapia with rice while Dante ordered some chicken and shrimp alfredo with garlic bread. As they waited for their food they talked about themselves. Dante told her how he and his brother came to Beacon and about his little sister Sophia and how he missed her while Blake told him all about when she used to be a part of the White Fang. When their food came they ate in a comfortable silence. When they finished Dante paid and they started to head back to Beacon. Once they landed Dante turned to Blake, "Let's go for a walk." Blake smiled and nodded.

He proceeded to lead him to the garden and sat on the bench holding her close and staring at the moon. "You know whenever I had a lot on my mind when I was younger, I would always come out and just stare at the moon. I don't know what it is but it just calms me. It makes me feel at peace."

Blake leaned her head onto his shoulder and smiled. "I know what you mean. I used to do this a lot too." She then gave an involuntary shudder and the cold air.

Feeling her shudder Dante took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. She looked up at him and smiled softly. They just sat there staring into each other's eyes slowly inching closer and closer together. Their lips met in a soft passionate kiss that lasted for a few seconds. Pulling back they rested their foreheads together. "I should get you back to your room."

Blake just sighed and nodded. They walked to her room in silence holding each other close. Soon they were shocked to see that they were already outside her door since they lost track of where they were going. "Well this is it." Dante said then looked down at her. "I had a great time tonight."

"Yeah me too." Blake said smiling. She got on her tipitoes and gave him a chaste kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Dante gave her a bow, "Until then my queen." Then turned and walked to his room.

Blake smiled at his as he left then took a deep breath and opened the door. There waiting for her was her team waiting for details on how the night went.

"Ok spill girl now!" Yang said with a huge grin on her face. "How did it go?"

"All in all?" she paused making them lean in close. "It was amazing! He took me to the Golden Dragon and we had dinner there. We talked about us. He told me about how he and his brother got here and I told him about my past. He just looked at me when I brought it up and said, 'the past is the past for a reason. It's meant to be left there so we can move onto the future. I won't judge you what happened then but know this, when I see that son of a bitch I'm going to wish he never messed with you.' When he told me that my heart just melted. Then we got back here and we went for a walk and just sat in the garden staring at the moon."

"Did he kiss you?" Ruby asked. Weiss was looking on wondering this too.

"Yes! And oh my god I just wanted to melt into his arms!" she squealed.

"We're happy for you Blake." Weiss said with a smile on her face, but Blake noticed that there was something wrong with her and made a mental note to talk to her about it later.

"Yeah we are. Now hopefully we can all get someone for us." Yang said.

"Well do you guys have someone who caught your eye?" Blake asked eyeing Weiss.

"Yes but it's a secret." Yang said.

"Same here!" Ruby said.

Weiss had a sad smile on her face. "Yeah I have someone who I like but I don't think it'll work out between us." She said confirming Blake's suspicions. "Well I'm going to bed guys. Goodnight." With that they all went to sleep.

And there you have it Chapter 7 is finally done! Whew! I can finally get this to you guys! Sorry again for the long wait on this. I plan on getting the other couples all formed in the next 2 chapters. The next 4 chapters all cover the festival and Blake confronting Weiss about her crush. The girls will also be trying to make their moves on the boys who caught their eye and will bring about a bit of drama. But until next time!
