We'd been there for a total of five days before we left, in one day everyone got their paradigms, and then three days of training. The monastery was quite peaceful, despite Yang having challenged my dad to a fight. Needless to say, the clean up was where the last day went. Now we're just arriving back at Beacon, to be greeted by the first week's worth of homework. Damn, I had totally forgot. Ozpin hadn't. I got most of the dust homework done immediately and helped the others with theirs. Blake had mastered the Flora classes and guided us through our homework, and since we somehow had written homework for combat class, we pooled our efforts since we were to answer questions based on fighting styles. It was sufferable. We took at least five hours trying to get through all the classwork and homework left for us, thank god Oobleck was merciful and Port only teaches with hands on grimm experience, so Peach and Goodwitch were the only people who gave us homework.
"Now...What the hell should we do?" A bored Yang asks. I just shrug and open the window.
"How about…" I survey the area, finding no one, but even if I did, what would it matter? Classes were out over the weekends so we could chill while the sun was out.
"Let's play tag" I then look over at Ruby. "No semblance, aura use to boost speed, or weapons"
"Got it"
"Now that it's settled...Tag!" I slap Yang's hand and roll back to the window then out of it. Blake and Ruby quickly follow, and right before I land I see Yang's hand grab Ruby's cloak and pull her in, then leap out of the window. The game was on. I decided to chill out on a bench, and I watched the reaper pursue the kitten while the fighter was running into the school. Ruby and Blake were pretty fast, and eventually Ruby gave up trying to tag her and turned towards me. I got up, turned around, and ran. She chased me all the way to the fountain in front of the school the which I jumped onto and climbed quickly, then leaped off of as Ruby had gotten halfway up it, and I departed into the school. I decided it best to sit in the library, which is where I found Blake hiding at. A quick sniff revealed the presence of just one other individual, who already knew Blake's secret, Velvet. Blake already knew all the faunus would be able to sniff her out, she had a panick attack over it a week before we were going to Beacon. Took so much reassurance to calm her down that I passed out after the stressful ordeal. I casually stroll over and sit next to her.
"Hey kitty ca-" I was cut off by a loud thump followed by Yang triumphanlty shouting tag, then the sound of people sprinting past the library.
"..."
"I think we're fine Ani"
"Hope so, I wanna formally invite you to a night out on the roof"
"Really? We hang out on the roof all the time"
"This will be a more romantic night, and it will be on top of the tower, if you think you can make it to the top"
"I wou-"
"TAG!" … again…
"I would like th-"
"TAG!" … Jesus Christ, give me the patience not to beat the shit outta them.
"I would like to join yo-"
"TAG!" Sonofabitch.
"Sounds nice"
"See you there"
...no shouting… Then the door was pushed open, and in ran Ruby, followed by Yang. Blake and I kinda slipped behind the back bookshelf and into the corner between it and the wall.
"Come back here!"
"Never!"
"shh" I whisper to Blake, then move into the corner and get Blake to press up against me with her head bowed so they won't see her bow. I mainly did this cause it feels nice, though my tail was pressed uncomfortably against the wall. It did have a tactical advantage however, since when Yang and Ruby eventually made it back to us neither spotted us.
"So, around tenish?"
"Sure"
"You drink?"
"Only during celebrations"
"I'll bring some wine"
"Where on earth is a sixteen year old going to get wine?" She takes on a slightly mocking yet quite interested tone.
"Trust me sweetheart, I've got my ways"
Out of the corner of my eye I spot something red.
"Tag" Ruby taps Blake and runs, and Blake smacks my leg and says tag, then flees with Ruby, leaving me with a hurt leg. I later found Ruby in our dorm, having been looking for something, so I tagged her with a push as she passed Yang's bed, sending her into it while I slam the door on my way out. This deterred my leader and I got a great lead on her, which she was slowly but surely overcoming. Luckily I passed Blake, and Ruby got her after I passed, allowing me a reprieve as I approach an open window, climb onto it, then the roof. After thirty minutes Yang, who had quickly become the seeker, gave up, and the sun was setting, so I had to work fast setting up the, uhh, date? It is a date right? My heart fluttered a bit at that thought, and like so many people before, I was under the impression nothing could ruin the night.
