I don't own RWBY or Kingdom Hearts. Enjoy.
Chapter 10
Riku closed the door making Sora and him the only ones in the classroom. His spikey-haired leader looked at him.
"What did you want to talk about?"
Riku faced him with a grim look on his face, "Sora, the night at the docks. I think I saw Ansem."
Sora's eyes widened, first in horror, then in worry, "Riku, are you sure. It wouldn't had been the first time you thought you saw him, but then it turned out you were wrong. We saw where that road lead us."
"I know Sora, but this time it's different," Riku explained, "When we were fighting, I had Torchwick right where I wanted him, but someone interfered. He had the exact same coat as Ansem."
Sora's eyes began to wonder in thought. After a minute of silence, he looked back to his best friend, "What is it exactly you think we should do?"
"We need to find out if he's here Sora."
"What if he is here?" Sora asked, "Did you forget the last time we fought him? We talked about this, we agreed to get the training we need here, then after we graduate we hunt him down."
"Of course, I haven't forgotten," Riku defended, "And if he is here, we can't let this chance slip past us. And we won't fight, we'll tell professor Ozpin. He can send a group of professional huntsmen to arrest him. Professor Goodwitch is scary enough to take him down on her own."
Sora closed his eyes and let out a sigh, he opened them again, "We need to tell Heather and Fern."
"Fern already knows most of it."
"But not all of it?" Riku shook his head.
Sora released a new sigh, "Let's go look for them."
"I think they said they were going into the cafeteria."
Later
"Children please," Glynda said through grit teeth, "Do not play with your food."
Nora burped then Yang fell through the ceiling. Sora and Riku stood at the doorway, they had just arrived when Ruby sent team JNPR, as well as Heather and Fern, into the wall covering them with food.
"They had a food fight," Sora said in horror, "… Without us."
"Considering Yang just fell through the ceiling," Riku commented, "I think we just dodged a bullet."
"You don't know how to have fun anymore," Sora whined.
"None of the games we played as kids involved us getting caught in a wind funnel."
Sora decided to ignore Riku and go talk to his friends, "How could you have a food fight without me!" He then looked at Weiss, "And I thought you hated fun stuff."
"I don't hate fun stuff, not that this wasn't childish," Weiss pouted, "I just got caught up in the excitement."
"Sorry Sora," Ruby said, "We didn't plan for this to happen, next time we'll totally call if we get in another food fight."
"That's all I ask," Sora stated.
Later (again)
Riku and Sora sat patiently in SFHR's room. Fern and Heather then entered, now wearing pajama's and towels wrapped around their hair due to their showers.
"Hey guys," Heather said removing her towel.
"We need to talk," Riku got to the point.
"What are we being lectured about the food fight?" Heather asked, "Because Glynda gave us one already."
"No," Sora stood from his bed, "This is something more serious."
Fern and Heather looked at them, then they looked at each other. The walked to the desks adjacent to the beds, pulled out the chairs, then turned them so they could face Sora and Riku as they sat.
"What is this about?" Fern asked.
"That guy Axel," Riku began.
"What about him?" Fern asked again.
"The coat he wore, was exactly like Ansem's," Riku explained. Fern stiffened.
"The man on the island?" Riku nodded.
"What are you guys talking about?" Heather asked.
"Before Sora and Riku left their island, a man named Ansem tricked and manipulated Riku into doing bad things," Fern summarized.
"What?" Heather looked at Riku.
"That's not the whole story," Sora added, "We need you to tell you somethings."
One week later
Weiss washed her hands inside one of the girl's bathroom. Ruby had somehow talked her into a board game in the library with the rest of the team. As soon as she was done she'd head to the library.
Then three girls walked in, talking very loudly, "Did you see how Riku handled that guy in sparring class? He had no chance."
"He's so strong, and cool, and not to mention hot," one of the other girls said fanning herself.
"Well he's not very nice," the third girl rolled her eyes. Then one of her friends pinched her cheeks.
"Hey, don't speak ill of Riku, he's adorable."
"No! The adorable one is Sora," the third girl declared despite the pinch cheek. That made Weiss stiffen.
"Sora? I admit he's nice, but-…"
"But nothing. He's sweet, he helps people around him, not just the faculty, sure he's goofy but that's part of his charm. He's so cute," the girls squealed.
"You're so weird."
"Oh, be quiet," she snapped, "At least I have enough nerve to ask my crush to the dance next month."
Weiss felt cold for some reason. Someone wanted to ask out Sora?
"I hope he says yes."
Weiss had enough, she walked out of the bathroom. Slamming the door behind her. She stomped down the hallway. She felt very annoyed, she didn't know why though… It was those girls, they were having a loud conversation when a total stranger was there, that was it wasn't it…? No, she only got annoyed when they started talking about Sora… Sora, that dolt. Why was he so nice to everyone? He always stayed behind class to ask a teacher if the needed help. If a student needed help with parts for their weapon he'd carry them for the student. He had that ridiculous smile almost all the time and… Weiss shook her head, why did she care? What Sora does didn't affect her one way or the other. But why was she so annoyed? The image of Kairi's picture and lucky charm flashed through her mind. That made her stop.
"Sora… has a girlfriend." That must had been it. Sora had a girlfriend and that girl had a crush on him. She was just annoyed on his behalf. However, now she felt something different. It began when she remembered that Sora had Kairi. She placed her hand on her chest, what was this feeling? And why did it make her want to…
She shook her head one more time and walked towards the library. Maybe Ruby could annoy her until she forgot. Now that she thought about it. She hadn't seen team SFHR for about a week. Yes, she saw them during class, but after class, they disappeared. She made Blake promise that if there was a problem she would come to her team. Now she was starting to think about it; she should have made Sora and his team, come to their other friends if there was a problem.
Later that night
SFHR walked through the dorms hallway after returning from their most recent search. They went to town to find any evidence of Ansem's presence. They went to the docks, some of the robbed dust shops, and the police station.
"Still nothing," Riku sighed.
"We'll find him Riku," Fern assured.
"Somehow," Heather said.
"Team RWBY's door is open," Sora observed.
"… they don't know the White Fang like I do," Blake's voice bursts from the door.
"Okay," Weiss began, "Between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, you are ready to catch these neer-do-wells," Weiss placed her hands together.
Ruby was confused, "Eh, who?"
"But once again let me be the voice of reason. We're students," Weiss reminded, "We're not ready to handle this situation."
"Yeah, but…"
"We're not ready," Weiss snapped.
"And we may never be ready," Blake declared, "Our enemies aren't going to wait till graduation day! They're out there planning their next move and it's coming, whether we're ready or not."
The four girls looked around at each other. Blake had a point. The members of the White Fang were guilty of many things but being lazy wasn't one of them.
"Alright," Ruby began, "All those of in favor of becoming the youngest huntresses to single handedly take down a corrupt organization conspiring against the kingdom of Vale," she took in a breath after saying it all in one breath, "Say 'aye.'"
"Yes," Yang cheered before looking at Blake, "I love it when you're feisty."
"Well, I suppose it could be fun," Weiss said.
"None of you said 'aye,'" Ruby said disappointedly.
"Aye!" All members of team RWBY looked to see team SFHR, standing in the doorway.
"Sora?" Weiss asked.
"How long have you guys been standing there?" Blake asked.
"Long enough," Heather said.
"You guys are going after the White Fang, right?" Riku asked, "We want in."
"What?" Weiss snapped.
"Guys, we appreciate it, but we don't want anyone else involved," Ruby explained. Riku looked down the hallway, after knowing it was clear he pushed Sora into the girl's room.
"Close the door." Heather and Fern walked in and closed the door behind.
"We may have a common enemy," Fern began.
"Fern," Yang interjected, "Blake told us about what happened to your parents. It was horrible, but you have to trust us. We'll-…"
"This isn't just about my parents anymore," Fern interrupted, "The White Fang may be working with a dangerous person; not just Roman Torchwick."
"What are you talking about?" Weiss asked.
"Blake, do you remember that Axel guy?" Riku asked.
"What about him?"
Riku took in a deep breath, then began his story, he told them about Ansem, how he trained Riku and then made him do things to hurt people on the island he lived on. How he thought he saw him at the docks, and that Axel wore the same coat he did.
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang looked at Blake, "Did you see him?" Ruby asked.
"No," Blake shook her head, "But I was focused on the fight and I did see Axel."
"What would he be doing here?" Yang asked.
"There was one more thing he did," Riku explained, "On the island we had a small cave that only Sora and I knew about. Inside of it, there was a wooden door. It had no door handle, no way of opening it. When everything was over, we went there to find that the door was opened; for the very first time since discovering that cave."
"What was inside?" Ruby asked.
"We're still not sure," Sora explained, "There was a pedestal, that looked like it held something. But it was gone. We don't know what it was."
"So, you think he stole it?" Blake asked.
"Yeah," Riku nodded.
"Please, let us help," Sora pleaded, "He hurt Riku and so many others. We wanted to wait until graduation to search for him, but if he's here, he might do something again. We can't let that happen, not again."
The girls looked towards each other, eventually nodding their heads, "Alright, we're all in this together."
"This is going to be awesome," Yang smiled.
Ruby gasped, "I think I left my board game in the library."
"We're doomed."
One hour later
"Where is it? Where is it?" Ruby looked under the table for her board game. It wasn't on the table.
"Hey." Ruby shot up and banged her head when she heard someone.
"Ow…" Ruby crawled from under the table. Looking up she saw a boy with spikey blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a Haven uniform as well.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Ruby stood up, "I'm just looking for my board game."
"That was yours?" the boy asked, "My friend just took it to the librarian."
"No!" Ruby disappeared in a flurry of rose petals towards the librarian's office. While running in the direction she found a girl with short black hair, wearing a Haven uniform, carrying her board game, walking towards the librarians office, "Wait!"
The girl stopped and turned, but Ruby didn't stop in time. She crashed into the girl and both of them fell onto the ground. Ruby shot up, "Are you okay, I'm so sorry, I did try to stop."
"It's okay," the girl said sitting up, "I promise I've been hit harder than that."
"Xion!" Ruby and the girl turned to see the boy running towards them. He helped her up.
"I'm really, really sorry," Ruby apologized again.
"It's okay, why were you running?" Xion asked.
"That's my board game and it would take forever to get it back from the librarian," Ruby explained.
"Oh, this is yours?" Xion handed it back to Ruby, "I was taking it to the lost and found."
"I know," Ruby took back her game, she cuddled it for a minute before looking back at the two Haven students, "I'm Ruby."
"I'm Xion."
"I'm Roxas."
"Nice to meet you," Ruby said, "I need to go, my team's probably wondering where I am."
"Okay see you later," Roxas said waved as Ruby skipped out of the library.
"She seems nice," Xion observed, "This place feels… warmer than the castle."
"Yeah," Roxas nodded, "I found an ice cream shop that sells sea-salt ice cream."
"Really?" Xion asked.
"Yeah."
"Well, send the location to Axel, he'll never forgive you if you found a place that sells our favorite ice cream and not tell him," Xion said.
"Already done," Roxas smiled. Then the two walked out of the library.
I didn't make Sora and Riku part of the food fight. I thought about it, but decided against it. (My fic my rules)
And we all know you can't have the organization without Roxas and Xion. I think there is a written rule somewhere.
