Naruto was being stared at as he walked towards the aircraft in front of him and Rexy, he watched as some people completely keep their eyes on Rexy the entire time they walked. Naruto was flaunting the poor Beowulf around, before pointing at the sign around Rexy's neck.
"Not Grimm, Cute, Fluffy, Epic Doge."
Rexy's left eye twitched as he looked at his master with his blue eyes boring holes into him, "is this…emo…tion I fe..el…called…an..ger…or…embra…ass…ment?"
"Probably a mixture of both buddy ol' pal!" Naruto called out to him, "besides eat it up, you're now the first Grimm of all Remnant to attend a school…of any kind."
"Agr…eed." Rexy says as the people stared at him and watched him board the craft.
"Seriously, people have a staring problem." Naruto says as he puts hands behind his head, his sherwani fluttering in the wind. "Gets annoying pretty quick eh?"
"Yes," Rexy says, "b…ut…don't…know…who…the…m…or…you."
"Hahaha!" Naruto bursts out laughing, "see you're learning better and better!"
"Naruto!" Naruto turns to see Pyrrah and the others, "over here!"
Naruto walks with Rexy on the ship as his hearing picks up hoarse whispers.
"Goddamn it, look at this shit show, they're letting them bring a frigging Beowulf on an aircraft with us!"
"See, I keep telling you, Faunus are no worse than Grimm!"
"He probably has an evil aura and is able to control Grimm…better avoid him."
"I swear, if that thing looks my way I'll kill it!"
"Ren, Nora, Mrs. Nikos." Naruto smiles as he holds his hand, "pleasure as always."
Ren grabbed his hand, "likewise friend…what happened to your right eye?"
"I cut it open, so I put a bandage over it, no biggie." Naruto stated with gusto and pride.
"Hey there, is Rexy pettable?"
"Nora, you know that's not a word right."
"What…pfft…pettable is so a word."
"No, it's not."
"Ren…I Nora Valkyrie am one hundred and fifty percent positive that 'pettable' is a frigging word!"
"In what dictionary?"
"W-wait there's multiple dictionaries?"
Ren and Nora looked at each other, "so?"
Nora crossed her arms looking away with a blush, "fine then…it's Noranese!"
"That too is not a word."
"It is now, I'm making a dictionary!"
"Good luck, even I find that boring."
"Aww c'mon Ren, please just admit it that 'pettable' is a word!" Nora whines a little, pouting as she crossed her arms.
"Rexy…is, um…touchable?" Naruto looks between them, "but don't hurt him."
"Oh please, I have the gentle touch a baby!" Nora states as she walks over the Beowulf before smacking him heavy handed before rubbing him hard on his back.
Rexy glared at Naruto who then turned around, chuckling a little bit, "lesson four hundred: Pranks!"
"You're so right, he's so fluffy." Nora says as she slows her rubbing, before lightly stroking his fur.
"See, told you." Naruto told her before turning to Ren," oh and Pyrrah."
Naruto reached into his pocket before pulling out a jade silver bracelet, "I found this at the bottom of a riverbed. I don't know if this was worth the twelve hundred Ryo I owe you, but I think you can consider it my first down payment." Naruto tells her as he rubbed the back of his head with his free hand.
"Oh, wow…it's lovely." Pyrrah says to him before taking it. "I think it'll pay off your debt, if not, I'll let you know. I don't really wear much jewelry like this, but I thank you for being active in paying your debt."
"No mention it, Naruto always pays his debts." Naruto pointed a thumb at himself and smirks, "besides I think this is a great bonding opportunity!"
"You got that right," everyone turned to see Nora lightly tickling Rexy who was currently using his back leg to try push Nora off. "He's so ticklish!"
"Nora, leave the poor creature alone." Ren sighs, "she's insatiable."
Naruto looked at Ren with a sly look which made him blush, "not in that way pervert…"
Somewhere in the crowd a blonde hair girl sneezed at the mention of 'pervert' before looking over at them. She then promptly went back to talking to a mixed haired girl standing next to her, before looking around and giggling as she pointed towards Naruto and nudging the mix haired girl.
Only to stare once a blonde-haired teen threw up, covering some people in vomit, "sorry! I got vertigo!"
Naruto ears twitched as kept picking up new conversations, most of them talking about the elephant in the room, him. Sighing, he looked at Pyrrah before smiling. "So, tell me something, what's it like being a celebrity?"
"It's great…" She begrudgingly tells him, "but I'd just wish that people would see me as Pyrrah…not…Mistral's Greatest."
"Hahaha," Naruto laughs, "I'm pretty sure that I'm Vacuo's greatest. Yeah, I don't know about being a celebrity, but it seems like its own little isolation. You're always expected to do something and people question everything you do, but don't worry I'm pretty much the down to earth guy…when I'm not bringing Grimm down with me that is."
Pyrrah couldn't help it, she laughed, "that's actually rather funny and true. I remember a time where I would go eat with my mother in peace…"
"What about your father?"
"Never was in the picture, he left when mom was pregnant with me."
"Damn…hope you find that punk and beat'em a new one."
"I've tried finding him, but can't…how about you."
Naruto sighs, "I'm actually not going to lie. I ran into him yesterday before running into this rude girl with white hair." A girl with white hair walking in the crowd suddenly stopped, turning to where Naruto was standing. "He just walked past me…I was going to follow him and confront about him leaving me behind but I got sidetracked doing a good deed."
"Um…Naruto." Pyrrah points behind Naruto to where Weiss was standing, her arms were crossed, and she tapped her foot.
"Ahem."
"Oh, hey there pretty eyes!"
"Pr-will you stop calling me that!"
"No-pah!"
"So, I overheard you calling me rude. Well, at least I didn't leave a girl without escort in a forest full of multi colored Grimm!" Wiess argues as she refers to Rexy.
The Beowulf at this point ignored, apparently, like other normal dogs his belly getting rubbed rapidly filled him with a sort of delight. He was now currently rolled over, letting Nora pet his belly, his tongue wagging outside of his mouth.
Ren looked at Nora, before chuckling, "even it doesn't have a heart she always fines a way to bring joy to others."
Some of the ship was still glaring the Beowulf, while some just slowly went to their own conversations and what not. Meanwhile, Naruto was rubbing the back of his head, "well sorry but I don't like spoiled brats."
"Excuse me." Weiss yells, "you barley know me!"
"Ahh…c'mon now, quit yelling. Hurting my ears isn't going to win you the argument missy." Naruto poked in his ear, before sighing. "So…"
"So…what?" Weiss asks.
"Aren't you got to you know, going to walk away somewhere?" Naruto asks as he crosses his arms, "or are you wanting to get in the friendship circle?"
"Friendship circle…wh-what's that?" Weiss was mildly curios, but something was screaming for her not to ask.
"Well, we got the Lie Ren, who can't a tell lie and is smart. We got Nora Valkyrie as a doggy masseuse, I mean look at Rexy go, are you feeling good buddy?!" Naruto asks as Rexy looked up at him.
"I for..give…mast…er." Rexy moans as he leans back.
"He's so cute like this, I never actually thought I'd say that about a Grimm, but I'm done now big guy." Nora pats Rexy's stomach as she leans up, "sorry."
"Okay, look, being for real. Where and how did you find a talking Grimm, how were you able to tame it, and why isn't it not locked up in chains?!" Weiss almost yells, "because this isn't normal."
"Well…Rexy was a normal Grimm, then something happened, and now he's like this!" Naruto presented with both of his hands to the now sleeping Grimm who was curled up no different than a small dog.
Pyrrah chuckles as she looks at the Grimm, "well…Naruto here does have a point."
"Wait, Pyrrah Nikos…you're going to Beacon?" Weiss looks at the redhead, "that's incredible…wow…thee Pyrrah Nikos!"
"Oh no…" Pyrrah mused in her head, "no!"
"It's honor to meet a fellow young woman of your caliber, I'm Weiss Schnee, heiress to The Schnee Dust Company." Weiss stuck out her hand, "I think we sponsored one of your tournaments."
"Yeah…um," Pyrrah nervously took the girl's hand, "I believe you did hahaha…ha…"
Naruto watched Pyrrah nudge her eyes and he nodded, taking the hint, before slowly stepping away.
The blonde walked over to Nora and Ren who were both standing over Rexy, the Grimm fast asleep as if he had been nursed.
Sitting down, Naruto laid his head on Rexy's stomach, smiling. "You know Ren, Nora, Rexy is like the softest pillow ever." Naruto snuggles against him, "it has got me through a lot of bad nights."
Nora and Ren chuckled as they turn to see Weiss pestering Pyrrah, before turning to Naruto. "So…pretty eyes huh, got a crush?"
"Nope," Naruto tells him, "I'm a faunus and she's a Schnee…that's about as far it's going. Trust me, there is no company more vile and greedy than The Schnee. She might be a good person, but I'm not dealing with anyone insulting my family."
"Especially since Rexy is probably the only reason why I never did myself in, it was nice having a friend around, even more so a brother of sorts." Naruto tells them before smiling, "how long until we get to Beacon?"
"About an hour." Ren tells him, "the airship has to pick up a few more people so it'll be traveling around Vale for a moment."
"Ah…that's good, I can get a nap." Naruto states as he rests against Rexy.
Weiss finally got done talking/bragging to Pyrrah before looking around, "hey…where did that guy go?"
"I don't know, from what I understand my friend dragged his Grimm away and he went looking for it." Pyrrah tells her, "by the way…be a little bit nicer to him. He's my friend."
Weiss eyes widened as Pyrrah walked away from her, before heading into the crowd of people on the airship.
"Wait, so that vagabond, Grimm controlling faunus, is Pyrrha's friend!" Weiss screamed mentally, "crap!"
The blonde-haired girl and her mixed haired friend slowly walked up towards Naruto as Ren and Nora began to talk. "Yang, I don't think this is a good idea…what if he bites us?" the mixed haired girl whispers her question.
"He better not Ruby, if he bites my sister, blondie here can kiss that thing's ass bye-bye." Yang tells the girl, Ruby, in a whisper.
"All of this over hearing that orange haired girl talks about how soft his fur was…" Ruby whispers.
"Yes, I never felt a Grimm's fur…well…not rubbing it anyways." Yang replies with a sly smile as they near Rexy, "alright…here we go."
Yang snickers as she reaches down, only to feel her hand grabbed by the blonde teen laying against the Grimm. "Can I help you?"
Ruby and Yang's eyes widened, "b-bu-but you're supposed to be asleep."
"Yeah, no, don't you dare touch my friend if you're aiming to hurt him." Naruto warns them, "it's a foolish thing to sleep in enemy territory."
"But, we're not enemies…we're fellow students."
"Do I know you?"
"Well…no…"
"Then how can I know your intentions?"
"Um, Yang…I think he has a point." Ruby points out, while the blonde just rolls her eyes.
"Fine, just let me go blondie, and we'll be on our way." Yang tells him, but just watches him smirk.
"I never said you couldn't pet him, you're both too easy." Naruto tells them as he guides Yang to Rexy's fur, "perfect pillow eh?"
"Wow, oh my gosh, he's right Ruby!" Yang states loudly as she fells Naruto let go of her hand and starts rubbing Rexy's fur. "You know, they're actually kind of cute when they're not knawing on you."
Ruby nervously places her hand on the beast's head, "wow, you're right…it's almost like puppy."
"I think he is a puppy, can't you see the sign?" Naruto points out with his thumb.
Yang and Ruby look what's around Rexy's neck.
"Not Grimm…"
"Cute!"
"Fluffy…"
"Epic Doge!" Both exclaim as they looked at him.
Yang laughed as she retracted her hand, "seriously what's epic about him, right now he's a puppy."
"He killed a Deathstalker, can actually wield my sword in his mouth, and me and him are probably the best combo team…bar…none." Naruto looks at them with a proud smirk.
"Uh, no, I'm sorry was that a challenge?"
"Maybe it was, maybe it isn't, maybe I'm just itching for a fight."
"OOo~ confidence, I like this guy already Ruby."
"What is it with you blondes about confidence, seriously…I'm introverted and my sister…well…she's…' Ruby lost the word.
"Extravagant, bodacious as hell, easy on the eyes, and a very great cardiologist." Yang states with pride.
"Wait, so you're a doctor?" Naruto asks as he looks up at her, maybe she could take a look at his little situation sitting just right of his right eye.
"Hehe…I might be." Yang winked at Naruto, but the action had the opposite effect of what Yang desired as he looked at her with curiosity.
"Di-did you have something in your eye?" Naruto asks, before Yang was taken aback.
"W-wait…were you…how did you…um." Yang stammered, "ah damn it and here I wasted my one good sex joke."
"He does shed a lot, plus it itches sometimes." Yang still in pervert mode nearly busted out laughing, "what?"
"N-nothing, I was sort of flirting with you." Yang bluntly tells him as she crosses her arms over her chest, "what I did was wink at you…you know…hint-hint."
"Sorry, what…is flirting?" Naruto innocently asks.
Both Yang and Ruby fell backwards, stunned at what Naruto just asks them. Ruby was the first to get up, "I knew it, he's introverted…he's introverted Yang hahaha!"
"No way, he's got so much confidence, how in the hell does he not know what flirting is!" Yang argues with her sister, "seriously what-the-what!"
"I can't wait to tell dad that you were trying to flirt with a guy who hangs out with a Beowulf."
"Oh really, weren't you just pointing at him, saying that he was weird…that's not very nice Mrs. Weapon Lover!"
"Crescent Rose is a beautiful work of art, not just a weapon!"
"Mas…ter…loud…noi..ses." Rexy whined a little covering his ears as he wakes up.
Both girls just stopped, before their faces fell. "D-d-did he just?"
"Yep!" Naruto cheers, "hey buddy, had a good night?"
"Yes…have…we…arr…ived?" Rexy questions.
"No, we're still a good ten minutes." Naruto tells Rexy as he patted his head, "we'll be there kicking ass in no time."
"Oh wow, a talking and peaceful Grimm…I think I would've named Larry." Yang tells Naruto, "just for the comedic effect hahaha."
"Larry, where have I heard that name before?"
"It's off a show, called Remnant Chibi, basically it's a cartoon version of Rexy here."
"Ah! Thanks…Yang?"
"Yep!"
"Sis, how do you know about…Chibi?" Ruby nervously asks.
"Oh dear sister, I would never not know anything about you, besides…I may have or may not have uploaded of you singing the intro to Identity-Book." Yang snickers.
"Yang!" Ruby wails, "that's so embarrassing what if someone from here sees it…what if Ozpin sees it!"
"Ozpin…" Naruto looks at her, "you fought Ozpin too?"
"Wh-what no!" Ruby states, "I fought a criminal and he came in saying something about my eyes and asked me to join Beacon."
"Technically she still had two years left in Signal before coming here, but that's fine, I get to pester my baby sis and teach her at the same time." Yang gloats, "what about you, how old are you anyway?"
"Sixteen." Naruto tells them, "and I got in after writing a letter and Ozpin himself coming to test me."
"Oh wow, he must've whooped you." Yang says, "so how was the fight?"
"It was exhilarating, and I wanted to go all out from the start…but I thought at first he was just an old man with a cane." Naruto points out, "man he took me and Rexy on at the same time."
"Battle Yang on deck, pervert Yang step down from the brain…PERVERT YANG NO! NO! BAD IMAGE!" Yang mentally screams at the images in her head, before chuckling a little bit. "Man, Ozpin must be a good fighter then."
"He's the headmaster of Beacon, I would be very disappointed if he couldn't." Naruto tells them, "besides…we're here."
"How can you tell?" Yang asks.
"I can sense others aura, and I sense Ozpin's." Naruto tells them, "he's awaiting us."
Naruto got up, picking up Rexy as well, "and as for this big guy…since he's tired…I'mma carry him."
Yang eyes widened at the mere strength he possesses, he didn't even struggle to hoist the Grimm on his shoulders as he walked. The blonde teen smirked as he walked past Weiss, before chuckling, "see on the ground pretty eyes."
"But, we haven't landed yet." Weiss tells him only for him to take a running start towards the opening back doors. "Hey, wait!"
"Woohoo!" Naruto yells as he blasts past other people, jumping out of the airship.
"What a child!"
