That boy... who was he? What was he? He was not human, that's for damn sure. He interested her to no end. Jet black hair, midnight black eyes... Oh wait, eye. She needed to hit Roman, he ruined that boy's looks. Oh, who was she kidding? He still looked good looking. How disgusting, a twenty-three-year-old woman was thinking about a seventeen-year-old boy. Eh, who cares? She's done worse, much worse. Hence the life of a criminal turned terrorist. Besides, she just looked at him, she had no interest in sexual acts whatsoever.
She wasn't attracted to the boy in any way, but she was 'attracted' to him. She always loved mysteries, and this boy was the biggest one she's seen. Romantically, was purely out of the question but… the woman had a strange attraction to that Gray boy. Now was a good time to leave, she needed to return to the rest of her team and Roman, they were supposedly meeting their boss. The woman stood up and stretched from her bed. "Hopefully, I'll have something fun to do."
The twenty-three-year-old woman scratched her head, raking her fingers through her blonde hair before turning her head to look at one of the only windows she had. All she could see was the darkness of night, with the occasional car light driving by. It was time for her to leave and meet with the rest of her 'team'.
"So, after our little pow-wow, what's next?" An elegant and relaxing voice rang through Roman's hideout.
"Hmm?" The red-haired criminal hummed as he lit a cigarette. "What you say, Katherine?" The blonde sighed and stretched, her skin tight bodysuit showing off her fit and developed body. She stood in front of the criminal, he was leaning against a crate as he waited for his superior, along with the seductive blonde's team.
"I said, what's next for our line of work?"
"What's next for you is staying quiet as we wait for our boss." Roman barked, he did not want to deal with Katherine. He and her team had been accomplices for a while, but... he couldn't stand team KING's leader. She was very... forward if that was the word that Roman could think. She used everything and anything to get what she wants, even her own body. But, he will say that the woman has boundaries, from what he could tell, Katherine has never used her body in that way.
Speaking of the blonde, she frowned and walked close in front of Roman a devilish smirk on her natural pale face. "Aw, is someone nervous? Or did I strike a nerve?" She leaned in front of the man inhaling his cigar's smoke.
"A little bit of both. 'Sides, you always get on my nerves. Now would you please get out of my face?"
"Hmm, I dunno. You know, I always like canes." Katherine grabbed Roman's weapon analyzing it. Roman grabbed the cane and wrapped it around team KING's neck, dragging her head down to his.
"Kath, go bother Nyla." Roman smiled. The blonde winked at Roman before turning heel. She wandered around the hideout, looking for the only member of her team who showed up. She scratched the top of her head, feeling small yellow fox ears.
Katherine and her team were all mostly Faunus, except for Grant. "If it isn't my favorite cat Faunus! How are you Nyla?" Katherine snickered. The small girl in question sighed and looked up and into Katherine's amber eyes.
"You know how I am Kath." The fox continued to stare blankly at the cat. After a minute, Nyla sighed. "I'm fine Katherine." This caused the fox Faunus to smile.
"Great! Do you know when Cinder will be here? I have some 'plans' with her if you get what I'm saying." Nyla shrugged.
"I dunno. Why are you asking me where your old flame is?"
"Wha- she's not an old flame! She's just a… close friend." The leader joked, she always joked. Almost everything to her was a joke, and that was why Nyla slightly enjoyed her. Very… very… very slightly. The cat Faunus sighed and lowered her head before perking up again. She had heard something familiar, a noise that she was dying to listen to so she could leave. "Speak of the devil." Katherine snickered. The blonde turned around to see her good friend Cinder arrive, along with two kids. "Cinder! You look as lovely as ever." The woman chuckled briefly before smiling.
"Katherine. Nice to see you. Especially in person. I expect to see you on television with a mug shot. You always have the most beautiful smiles." Katherine laughed nervously and shifted her weight between her feet.
"You're too kind." Katherine then moved her attention to the two kids next to Cinder. The girl seemed really excited and the other seemed bored. "Who are these two?" Cinder gestured for the two to greet the criminal. The girl coughed and offered her hand.
"Hello. My name is Emerald Sustrai." Katherine stared at the hand, confused.
"Wha-what is that?" Emerald blinked and stuttered.
"Um, it's-it's a hand-handshake."
"Oh, I don't do handshakes." Katherine then wrapped her arms around Emerald and gave her a soft bear hug. The boy next to Cinder chuckled along with her as Emerald blushed a deep crimson.
"Katherine, Emerald here is kind of a fan of your work." The blonde's ears perked up as she placed Emerald down.
"Really? Is that so?" Emerald nodded and Katherine smiled.
"Well, enough messing around. We have to get to work." A long dragged out 'aw' filled Cinder's ears and she quickly ignored the criminal's complaining. The trio walked towards the redhead mastermind, the man was distracted with the estimations of Dust that they stole. "Roman."
"Oh, it's you. And I see you brought kids!" The man snarked, pointing at the Emerald and Mercury. "Ya know, I always thought that a divorce would work out." Emerald physically recoiled when he said that.
"Ugh, please. I'd rather have Katherine." Mercury groaned, Emerald nodded in agreement. Katherine threw her arms around the two and squealed.
"Oh, my god! My very own kids! I never thought I'd see the day!" As the fox rambled on, Cinder ignored her and went to speak with Roman. She was always the one to get work done when it came to her and Katherine. "We need to go on road trips! Family heists! Oh, we could rob banks together! Doesn't that sound amaz…"
"You had to get her started didn't you?" Cinder smiled. She noticed the resident cat Faunus watching from a distance with a faint smile on her face.
"I didn't think this would happen. But that's Katherine Rani for you. One of Vale's most dangerous criminals. And your ex."
A small glare was sent Roman's way which made him chuckle. "Why didn't you take care of that White Fang member I told you about? You had a whole week." The man sighed. Why was it that Cinder could switch from the smallest amount of happiness to anger. He then gestured to the mounds on top of mounds of Dust.
"You're joking, right? Do you not see the crates of Dust that we have? 'Sides, your kids had everything under control." Emerald glared at him.
"It was still your job to take care of him. Mercury and I-"
"Upupupup! No fussing when adults are talking." The girl glared piercing daggers at the criminal but quickly turned her attention to her role model, Katherine."
"I have an idea!" She whispered. As the blonde dragged Emerald and Mercury behind Roman, the two 'adults' continued with their conversation.
"That still doesn't excuse you for not doing what I requested." Cinder continued.
"Well, I'm sorry. I was too busy with stealing all the Dust possible in Vale! I would like to know what your little plan is too. You tell Kath everything." Roman demanded to know.
"In due time, Roman. In due time. Katherine, come with me. I need your help for something important." Mercury and Emerald followed the woman as Roman went to grab his lighter, a cigar in his mouth After not being able to find it, he glanced toward Emerald who held his favored lighter in her hand. She then stuck her tongue out before shoving it into her pocket.
"God damn, what did I get myself into?"
"Dunno, Roman. But, good luck with that smoke." The man looked at the blonde just to see a vial of red just fly at his face. Roman scrambled to grab it, but it soon fell to the floor, shattering. The vial blew up in Roman's face, soot covering him. However, his cigar was now lit and he sighed in sadness. He snapped to his left where Katherine was, however, the fox was gone.
"A fox and a pyromaniac. What a lovely combination."
A small giggle bounced off team GRIN's room. A young leader snuggled up to her boyfriend, feeling his strong arm around her small frame of a body. The two were alone in the boy's room, abandoning their teams to spend some quiet time together. The girl balled her hand, grabbing a fistful of his black tank top. The article both looked great and slightly accented Gray natural light dark skin.
The girl recalled when she told Yang that she liked 'chocolate'. Gray would've surely been proud of her for saying such a wasn't like what she said was wrong. She didn't really have a preference for anyone but she had accidentally overheard a conversation about such a topic. Plus Yang also just straight up told her. A light pressure on her forehead made Ruby look up and into Gray's happy eye. "Yeah?" The boy chuckled and kissed her nose.
"Nothing. Just that you were out of it for a bit." The girl looked away faintly, slightly embarrassed.
"Sorry, I was distracted by something.
"Oh? What was it? Was it my tight tank top? It looked like you were trying to tear it away." He snickered. This caused the girl to blush significantly.
"Wha? No! I wouldn't do such a thing!" The boy laughter at his girlfriend's turmoil. The girl huffed and scrambled off of Gray and folded her arms, trying to force the blush down.
"Aw, don't be like that." Ruby felt dark arms move around her and pull her to the center of Gray's bed. A low squeal left the younger's lips as she landed on a pillow. Gray trapped her underneath him, a smile on his face. "… 'cause I knew you were thinking about it." He growled lowly, his voice ran through Ruby causing her to shiver. The boy ran his fingers through Ruby's hair as she wiggled uncomfortably and awkwardly. The young leader's body went stiff as he cupped the back of her head, the hairs on her neck standing at attention. "… as am I with removing some clothing." The girl's eyes went wide with shock and surprise, the latter increasing ever more with a forceful kiss.
An accidental moan slipped out of the younger's lips, as she stared into Gray's single eye. The boy's hands outlined the younger's body, taking things both slow and fast. The boy growled into the kiss, feeling Ruby's small hands glide over his back and grip his shirt tightly. Pulling away, Gray grinned as he removed his black tank top revealing his chest. 'I guess I was right...' Just as he lightly kissed the younger's neck, a light knocking rang throughout the room. The two both stare at the door before a groan slipped from Gray. Getting off of Ruby, he walked towards the door as the younger sat up and stopped looking dumbstruck. He yanked the door open and leaned against the door frame. "What?" He asked not paying attention who was at the door. The boy's eye widened when he saw Weiss, red in the face.
"Um, why are you without a shirt? And where's Ruby?"
"I have an answer to both. I was without a shirt because I was busy with a certain, someone. Whaddya want?" He said plainly.
"I wanted to find my partner, could I not do that?" A dazed stare caused Weiss to sigh. "Fine, I'm bored! Blake is so immersed by those team KING fellows, Yang is a 'dungeon master' or something for team JNPR and the rest of your team is in Vale. Speaking of your team, what's up with Rhys? Why is he avoiding me?" 'Is she serious?'
"I dunno." He lied. "As for your boredom, I don't think Ruby's okay with you watching us do stuff, nor do I think she'll let you join in." The heiress turned beet red and tried to shove Gray, this only caused him to lightly move back a bit.
"You imbecile! I don't want to join or-or watch!" Weiss' screaming caused Ruby to jump off Gray's bed and duck under his arm that was holding the door before standing in front of the boy.
"Hey, Weiss! Is he bothering you?" Ruby asked, smiling nervously.
"Yes, Ruby. In fact, he is." The heiress then remembered something while trying to ignore Gray's arm around Ruby, which she held it like it was a teddy bear. "Can you two come with me? Blake is so focused on that team so much. She's becoming even more antisocial than usual." Gray lazily glanced at Ruby who was looking at him as well. She had a pleading gaze to her which, melted Gray. The boy sighed and smiled.
"I can't say no to those eyes." He kissed Ruby's forehead and left to go grab his shirt.
"Let's go, Weiss!" Ruby proposed. She dragged Weiss back to her dorm and opened the door. As Gray pulled his shirt back on he stepped out of his door. As soon as he did so, someone bumped into someone causing the person to fall.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" The boy offered a hand to the person who fell. It was weird, she had mint green hair.
"Yes I'm fine, I just wasn't paying attention." The person grabbed his hand and Gray helped her up.
"Oh? Are you lost?" He asked. Looking behind the girl Gray met the eyes of another man.
"Visiting." The man said he rubbed Gray off the wrong way. He had a weird feel to him.
"Oh, you're the exchange students. Where ya from?" The man moved out of the center of the hallway and revealed an another woman. She both looked like a mature woman and a young one as well, it was strange.
"Mistral." She said in a lax tone of voice. Sometimes about this woman made Gray feel odd. Like something deep within him told him desperately to stay away from her, and another part said the opposite. Her eyes were so intimidating and her smile didn't help either.
"Ok. That's cool. You do know that your dorms are across campus, right?" The trio glanced at each other before returning their laid-back gazes to Gray.
"I guess we're a little lost." Another voice rang out and into Gray's ears, again, another female walked into his sight this one had an excited smile on her face. "Can you tell us some directions to get there?" Her voice was relaxing and for some reason… elegant.
"Sure…" As Gray informed the woman he fully scanned her person. It was safe to say that the woman was eye candy, no doubt about it. Her long blonde and light blue hair cleverly hid adorable yellow fox ears. Her face was gentle and matured, along with her body, oh wow. Gray didn't want to be rude, he finished his directions, not staring at the woman's body. "… and you should be there."
"Oh, thank you so much." The trio behind her thanked the boy and walked ahead while the woman stayed in front of Gray, just barely shorter than him. "I really appreciate it. What's your name?" The woman was now pretty close to Gray, her voice hushed.
"Um, Gray." He said while planting his hands on her shoulders. "… and I'm taken. Sorry." The woman had a small frown briefly for smiling again.
"Funny, I thought so. I'll see you around." She turned to follow her allies but was stopped by a low 'wait'.
"What's your name?" The woman thought about it for a few seconds before looking at Gray again.
"Catalina. See ya, cutie!" She winked before walking away. She had some enthusiasm in her walk, swaying her hips side to side. The boy shrugged and walked to Ruby's dorm.
"Katherine. You had to flirt with him did you?" Cinder frowned.
"What? Can't I have any fun? And don't worry, I may be bisexual but I kinda prefer you more." The woman rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
"It can be whatever you want it to be." 'He is cute, though… Gray… messing with him could be fun.' As the four walked away, Gray entered team RWBY's door only for Blake to crash into him.
"Come on! This is the second time today." He complained as he helped Blake up. As he helped the Faunus to her feet Weiss had asked her why she's been so distant and so interested in team KING.
"Why am I so interested in them? How can't I? Did you see what they did? What they can do? Do you know what they did?"
"No, but-"
"Murders on important people, robberies, arson, the list goes on! They've escaped jail countless times! And now they're working with the White Fang! We need to know what they'll do! We got lucky when we stopped them at the docks but the cost was Gray's eye! Ruby, you and Gray almost died! We need to put a stop to what they are doing!" Blake shouted.
"Whoa! Blake, I'm all for going after those assholes but, like you said, they almost killed me and Ruby. We're not ready, we're still students."
"We might never be ready! KING isn't going to wait for us to graduate. We need to do something now."
"Blake, think about this. You want us to go toe-to-toe with four individuals. Individuals that are highly experienced in killing and every other crime in the book. Are you sure you want to go on a suicide mission?" Weiss asked, she had her doubts but she slightly agreed with Blake.
"Yes. I'm sure." Blake nodded. She heard Gray snickering behind her and the Faunus turned around to see the boy grinning.
"Welp. You can't be alone on this." Gray smiled.
"Yeah, you aren't in on this alone Blake. I'm sure the whole team will help." Ruby smiled. "Knowing Yang, she'll give you a piggyback ride to help." Ruby glanced at her grinning boyfriend.
"And my team doesn't have anything else to do besides goof off. So why don't we goof off while helping you guys? I'm up for it." Blake smiled at her friends.
"Thanks, guys, I really appreciate it." The three in front of her nodded.
"So. When do we get to work?"
