Chapter 10

Faith walked to door the hall with Fox. "Does your leader normally get up on time?" asked Faith. He nodded, "Normally she was always ready before most of on the team, even me.'' "You team leader sounds like she is on the ball." "She is, she is also tough, one of the bravest people I have ever met." Fox ended as they arrived at the door. "Well let's hope no one is dead." Faith said as she knocked on the door. Fox crossed his fingers. "Yes, can I help you?" Coco said opening the door. "Yes are you two ready to go?" Fox asked. Coco looked at him, then to herself, showing that she was still in the clothes she wore that night. "Well that is a first." Fox teased Coco seeing the opportunity. "Shut up Fox, am not in the mood." Coco expressed.

"We'll we're going down to get breakfast. It would be great if you two would join your teams." Faith hissed. "Fine we will meet you at breakfast it would be good to introduce you to the important teams, besides us of course." "Sounds good, see you there." Said both Fox and Faith as they made their way from the door to breakfast.

Coco turned and shut the door, Vex was already getting dressed for the day. "Very bold man aren't you Mr. Vex." Addressed Coco trying to keep her composer. "That's funny, you act like you have never seen me like this before." He said pointing in the direction of the camera. Coco just turned getting dressed as well. "Well since you are changing I will go ahead and get ready." He made his way to the door, "You're not like most boys you know that?" Vex closed the door behind him to the restroom. "Why do say that?" He asked through the door. "Most would kill to see this." She said admiring herself in the mirror. "They always chase after me." Concluded Coco as she put on scarf the last piece of clothing. "That may be true." Vex began walking out of the restroom putting on his tie. "But I think if the prey is after me, then I have nothing to worry about. Wouldn't you think so?" He said putting his hands around her waist. She trembled, "I think you agree with me don't you?" He whispered into her ear with a grin. "You need to be careful with what you say. I bet you say that to every girl." Coco said breaking his grip to get her school supplies. "Well, there was one, but she had a problem." Coco looked annoyed, "Really? What was it?" "She wasn't you." Vex said with a grin. "Oh shut up. Come on, we're going to be late." She ordered trying to cover her cheeks from trying red.

"So how's Coco?" Ruby asked Velvet. "A lot better since Jackson arrived and she got the answers she was looking for." "That's not the only thing she got." Yang nudged in. "What do you mean Yang?" Ruby asked puzzled. "I wouldn't worry too much about it right now Ruby." Blake said from behind her book. "Anyway where is the new team? I want to meet them." Yang said with excitement. "Waiting for us?" The teams turned to see Sam and Scarlet walking with Yatsu. "Thank you sir, we were lost for a while." Scarlet said putting her tray on the table. "Nice to see you Velvet." "Good to see you Scarlet, hope the floor wasn't too hard." Velvet apologized to her Faunus friend. "Wasn't a problem at all, it was like a big sleepover." Sam said reaching for the salt and pepper. "So you must be the new team here. Am Ruby and this my team." "What's up, am Yang" She said putting her hand out. "Am Wiess Schnee, pleasure to make your aquatics." The white haired girl said with a smile. "Am Blake, nice to meet you." She said from her book. "Nice to meet all of you. Am Sam, and this is Scarlet, my girlfriend." He said reaching for her hand. She blushed

"About time." A voice came from behind. "Fox, Faith you two made it down." Scarlet said happily. "Ya, our leaders should be on their way down if they are not getting handsy." Faith said, Fox nodding in agreement. "What we 'do' should not be any of your business." Coco said looking from her sunglasses. "And that's our boss Jackson Vex." Sam said pointing to him. "Jackson Vex at your service." He said with a bow. "So what's the plan today?" His team asked him. "Eat some breakfast, and then we'll head to the training room for training, plus it gives us a chance to learn more about each other here. Sounds good?" He said putting butter on his toast. They all nodded.

After breakfast the head to the training room and got their gym clothes on. "Alright, let's see what all of you can do." Vex told his team. One by one that came at him, and one by one he brought them down, but as he was doing so he told them their fawns, as well as how to defend against it. Each time he faced them they were become aware and were improving. After Four hours of training just their fighting skills, they went for a break. "So I guess all that training you did really made you a weapon, huh?" Sam said wiping wet from his forehead. "I guess you could say that." Answered Vex taking a drink of water. "How are you able to know where are weak spots are." Faith ask stretching her muscles. "I 'Ponder'." "Ponder?" They asked not know what he meant. "When I was fighting with you, did you notice how I did not fight but only dodged and watched?" They shook their heads. "What I was doing was watching your body language, your breath in the movement you were doing, and how much power you were putting into each attack. Things like that." Vex said making eye contact with each person on his team. "Can you teach us?" Scarlet asked. "I intend to, miss April." He said heading back into the ring. "Alright Sam, watch my movement, breath, and the stress I put in my attacks." Sam nodded his head. The same with the girls that were watching waiting for their time to come. At the end of the day it was time to get some rest. Vex was put his stuff in his locker. "Hey boss we're heading to the room, see you there?" "Ya Sam, I'll be right behind you." Vex said as they headed out.

"Your becoming a great leader already? That seem to have gone well." A familiar smart alek voice came from behind. "You know, if you want to sneak up on someone you shouldn't be wearing so much perfume. I mean I enjoy it but Grimm might like it even more." He shut his locker at turned to Coco, who was sitting on the bench behind him. "Tell me something Vex, do you like me?" Coco said holding one of his battle sticks, looking at it. "Hmm, I would say I enjoy your company." He said looking at her reaction.

"Is that a yes, because I could leave you and your team alone, you're doing a good job as it is and its only been one day."

Vex threw his bag over his shoulder.

"I mean it is obvious that you can handle your team, and yourself."

He walked to her.

"I know if you don't happen to like me, like that. You don't have to say it, I know am not like other girls, like Velvet, or as busty as Yang. I would understand if you just…"

She was cut off as his lips met hers. "That should answer all of the questions that you should have left." He said as he brushed the long bang she had in her face with his finger. "If you happen to have anymore, you can ask me when we are together again." He moved the hand that was on her waist, to her elbow, then with his fingertips he moved them across to her hands and held them. "I think I have found your weakness miss Coco." He whispered in her ear. Then with that he collected his weapon and began to walk out. "I will have something to ask you on our night, just prepare yourself to spar against me Vex." Coco said trying hard to keep herself together. "I am looking forward to it, miss Coco." He said with a gin that sealed this deal, and made her heart throb. "Vex...why do you care for me like this?"
