So… Hi. How's it going? So this chapter here kicked my ass. Please let me know what you think. I own nothing but the original characters.

-Monsters of Remnant-

Yang I

Night had fallen upon Beacon Academy. Prospective students settled down in their sleeping bags and conversed quietly amongst themselves. Here and there peals of laughter could be hear as new friends were made and old bonds were renewed. Young men and women eyed each other from across the room, each respecting the unspoken agreement that separated the two genders. The bolder students held themselves back, conscious of the two teachers standing watch over the gathering; although a few decided to put on a little show for their respective audience, flexing and posing in such a way as to try and get a reaction.

Yang Xiao Long, eldest daughter of Taiyang Xiao Long didn't notice any of this however, so engrossed she was in the story she was being told by her younger sister.

"-nd then she picked me up, it was really weird," her ever adorable sister finished her spiel, plopping down on her sleeping bag with a huff. Yang just chuckled and patted the shorter girls black and red hair.

"There there, Ruby," Yang couldn't keep the traces of amusement from her voice, something that her sister apparently noticed judging from the glare she received. "So what if you had a bit of a meltdown, at least someone decided they liked you. Although," the vivacious blond gave her a sly grin. "You certainly 'Rose' to the occasion, huh? Already attracting women into your web of lust and desire. I didn't even know you swung that way."

Ignoring her sister's horrified look, Yang continued with her soliloquy. She even threw a hand across her forehead and swooned dramatically. "Oh where have I gone wrong?"

Ruby took her pillow and threw the fluffy projectile at the traitor only for the older girl to swat it out of the air with a giggle. "Yang~" she whined, pouting in an adorable way that made Yang want to pinch her cheeks. "Don't be mean to me, today sucked."

Yang was about to make another joke at her little sister's expense when she spotted a group walking by. A smile grew on her face, unseen by her target. "So Rubes," she drawled, "Did your catch the name of your kidnapper?"

"No." The red reaper drawled, giving her a queer look.

The blonde fought off a giggle as the group came into earshot. "Cause I think you're about to get a second chance," she then called out to the group. "Hey you two want to join us?" The girls, a brunette of average height and build; a blonde with hair longer than hers, and the tallest and strangest looking faunus Yang had ever seen before, paused before the faunus shifted course. The brunette didn't seem put off by her friends summary decision, and even gave Yang and her sister a smile as she sat down, while the blonde just trailed behind them like a lost puppy. It was both sad and adorable.

"Greetings," the brunette spoke, an accent she couldn't place causing the blond to raise an eyebrow. "Thank you for the invitation."

Her friends on the other hand sat down without a word. The blond gave Yang an awkward smile and a nod but didn't say anything. The faunus on the other hand didn't even give her a look. She just sat next to her sister and without a word placed the younger girl on her lap. Or at least tried to, Ruby had other plans and was quick to scramble out of the girls' reach and scurry behind Yang, much to her amusement.

The faunus girl sat still for a moment, then pouted. Her brunette friend laughed softly while the blond just smiled awkwardly.

"As amusing as that was," The brunette spoke up, her chuckles trickling to a halt, "I do believe we have a few introductions to do. My name is Claudia Acte, a pleasure to meet you…"

Yang gave Claudia a bright smile. "Yang Xiao Long," she said. "And this is my little sister Ruby, though from what I've heard you have already met. Something about a kidnapping?" Yang gave the Faunus girl a look, trying to see how she would react. Nope, nothing. Now she was just looking around them.

Claudia coughed, embarrassed. "Ah, yes. I apologize for that. Lady Gojira here has a younger sister and apparently your little sister Ruby triggered her big sister instincts. Rather harshly."

"Lady Gojira?" Yang parroted, raising an eyebrow. "I didn't know Faunus had any nobles. What are you guys her bodyguards or something?"

"Not a Faunus." Gojira said, her soft voice insistent as she interrupted Claudia, who had opened her mouth to speak.

The blonde stared at her for a moment, casting significant looks at the girl's tail and ears. Out of the corner of her eye Yang could see a raven haired girl sitting against a pillar put her book down and look in their direction. "Right," she drawled before continuing with a shake of her head. "Listen if you're afraid of any racism on our side, don't be."

"Yeah," Ruby piped up from behind her. "Just because you have a tail and ears and are big, wait Idon'tmeanthatyourfatitsjustthatyou'rereallyreallytallandI'm just going to shut up now." She trailed off, burying her face into her pillow in a vain attempt to hide her glowing red face. Yang had to suppress a coo. This was serious. The black haired girl she noticed from before nodded in the background.

Gojira was apparently swept up in the wave of cute, judging from how she tried to pick Ruby up again. Which led to another amusing bout of keep away.

"As amusing as that was," an unknown voice chimed in the same odd sounding accent that Claudia used. Yang turned to face the speaker and saw two males who decided to ignore the unspoken line between the two genders. They were as different as night and day, much to Yang's unspoken admiration.

One was absolutely massive, both tall and built, and had a deep tan that spoke of long hours in the sun. He had an open, smiling face that had light stubble just a shade too dark to be called a five o'clock shadow. Light brown hair was close cut and neat, matching his brown eyes. In his arms he held four rolled up sleeping bags, explaining why none of the girls who had joined Yang and her sister had their own, and he wore a simple shirt and pair of shorts.

His companion on the other hand, was of average height and had a slim, compact build. Dark blue, slitted eyes peaked out from behind long messy raven hair that stood out against his pale skin. He wore a fancy looking long t-shirt that came down to his knees and judging from the smirk he wore, was the one who spoke.

Blue eyes gave them a smug smile. "She really isn't a Faunus," he continued, dropping his own sleeping bag on the ground next to Claudia. The girl gave him a nod and took her own from the larger male as he passed them to the rest of their party.

"And you are…" Yang trailed off, giving him one of her flirtatious smiles. She ignored the light swat she received from her little sister.

"Marcus Regulus," the giant intoned, bowing his head slightly in greeting. "A pleasure." He had a very deep voice that seemed to rumble out of his chest.

His buddy chimed in. "And I am Lucius Antonius," he said is light, really smooth sounding voice, giving Yang a once over that she preened under.

"What took you two so long?" Claudia asked.

Marcus replied with a shrug. "The storage facility here is inefficient. It took us longer than expected to locate our belongings."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Yang cut in, confused. "You still haven't explained what you meant by 'she's not a Faunus'?" Suddenly realizing that they were talking about said girl like she wasn't even there, Yang coughed awkwardly. "I mean, if you're not a Faunus then what are you?"

The not-Faunus looked up from where she was trying to coax Ruby up into her lap. "I am a Kaiju."

"Wait you mean those monsters from the Old War? The man eaters? I thought those were myths that were spread to further Faunus discrimination," the black haired girl, who had until this moment remained silent, interjected. The group turned to look at her. "Blake," she added, answering the unspoken question.

Marcus shook his head. "No Lady Gojira here is from Ishiro, the whole human eater thing is a Venusian concept."

"And fuck the Venusians," his shorter companion pitched in.

Yang fought back a headache. It only grew when her sister, her sweet innocent sister asked a question to Gojira, confusion evident in her voice.

"Does this mean you're going to eat me?"

So if you were expecting to see Weiss sorry about that. I couldn't figure out a way to fit her in and still introduce my characters without sounding awkward. Anyway special thanks to Dragon Blitz 85 who served as sounding board, idea dispenser, plot bunny slayer and all around great guy. Seriously, if it weren't for him the plot bunnies would have overwhelmed me. Now we go back to Orein and see how Jaunes doing.

Anyway thanks and let me know what you thought.
