"This is it... I am SURE that this is the relic." Jaune said with a large smile on his face as he and Pyrrha moved through a cave and went towards a small glowing blue ball at the end of it. The two of them had formed a team together, though Pyrrha seemed to be a bit salty about it considering what he did to her shoes and her pride. A nice girl she was, but getting thrown up on she did not like.

She did not hate Jaune though, she was just salty about her shoes.

"I don't think so Jaune... we went east, when we should have gone north." Pyrrha reminded him, considering the fact that Jaune had went this direction and she followed after him, she was sure it was the wrong way. Nothing against Jaune, but she could see that they had been going the wrong way the entire time.

The boy was nice, but this was not the school for him.

"Naw, I mean, look at it... such a pretty... ball... thingie." Jaune said as he looked at the glowing blue ball that was sitting on the ground, surrounded by drawings on the ground. The entire place looked completely ritualistic, only further proven by the sunlight that was streaming in through the hole in the ceiling.

This had to be a relic.

"It is pretty, but I don't think this is what we were meant to find." Pyrrha noted as she looked at the old, worn out, drawings on the ground.

"I'm taking it... this is just so awesome." Jaune said as he grabbed the semi-big ball, about the same of a melon, and lifted it up. Pyrrha humored him, and followed after him as he carried the ball. They walked through the cave, the ball lightning the way out this time instead of Pyrrha using a torch that Jaune had made.

She could give him that, he had some survival skills, such as lightning fires and making torches.

"It is pretty." Pyrrha repeated as she looked at the ball, and after a few minutes of walking they left the cave.

The ground rumbled for a moment, but nothing serious feeling.

"Lets go find the others. We have got to show this to... well... I don't really have other friends here." Jaune depressed himself with his words. He realized that he hadn't done the best job of making new friends.

"Well-" Pyrrha started, before Jaune looked at her.

"Skipping meals isn't good for your health, I mean dieting isn't cool if you stomach growls like that." Jaune lectured Pyrrha, and her jaw unhinged in shock as she looked at him. She twitched a few times, before she calmed down and punched him in the arm playfully.

"Thanks buddy... pal... friend." Pyrrha said, and with each word she punched him in the arm again. She didn't diet, she had a steady diet where she ate well and trained her body, but she did not starve herself like some other girls she could think of.

"Your welcome." Jaune said weakly, because his arm frankly hurt like hell after that pounding.

"Hey Jaune, lets head that way... I am pretty sure I saw somebody heading that way. Maybe we can meet up with them." Pyrrha spoke, though she allowed it to sound like it was Jaune making the plans. She didn't care much for a role of leadership. She would rather take a role of follower than leader, part of the reason she went with Jaune's idea of going into the cave.

The ground rumbled again, and Pyrrha raised an eyebrow at that.

"Weird, maybe we are on a... fault line..." Jaune said, and it took him a moment to remember what a fault line was exactly.

"Well, Vale is a Kingdom that is next to an ocean... so it is possible for us to be on a fault line. Goods guess there." Pyrrha said, actually impressed with how Jaune had guessed that. They heard a russle in the trees, before Blake landed on the ground next to them. She didn't have a partner, and she said nothing to them as she walked by. She was going to need to find herself a partner, and both of these two seemed like they had their own partners.

"Hey, did you find your relic?" Jaune asked Blake, and she ignored him in favor of walking away, not caring that Jaune seemed to slump forward at her lack of reaction.

'I can work with almost anyone... but not that Weiss girl.' Blake thought to herself with a thoughtul look. She felt a rumble in the ground, before she raised an eyebrow at the ground, because that was strange. The nearest fault line wasn't for several hundred miles, and even then the nearest possible source of earthwuakes would be the signs of a volcano erupting... but she didn't know of any volcanos in the area.

She heard growling, before she saw a Beowolf staring at her, slowly moving out of the bushes.

Beowolfs travelled in packs, so if there was one, there was always more. Beowolfs also always had one in the group that was bigger, badder, and smarter than the rest of them. That one was the unofficial/official leader of the pack until another bigger Beowolf came along.

She drew her sword from it's cleaver sheath, before she stared at it.

It charged towards her mindlessly, and she created a clone to take the blow, when the clone vanished, she moved forward and sliced the head of the grimm clean off of it's shoulders. Blake sheathed her sword, before she continued her walk to find a partner.

"Can somebody help me... my shoe is stuck." Weiss' voice called out for help, but didn't sound too panicked about her situation.

Blake took a deep breath, before she started to walk towards Weiss. She saw Weiss was stucking with her ankle caught between two rocks, wedged in their like she had taken a bad step. She and Weiss locked eyes for a moment, and the girl's eyes narrowed. She pulled her foot out of the rocks, before she crossed her arms.

"I thought Naruto would come, not you." Weiss stated coldly. Naruto had been her target, she had killed the Grimm in the area, and then had planned to stage it so that Naruto would come to help her. She hadn't thought that Blake or somebody else would find her first.

That did not go according to plan, but she couldn't help it anymore.

"We are partners, so we are going to put aside our dislike of each other. You are a Schnee, and I am a Faunus... but right now we are both forced to stick together." Blake reminded Weiss, and the girl nodded, before she said something that she would come to regret.

"We are like black and white, but we do have one thing in common... neither one of us wants to die in this forest." Weiss stated with a smirk on her face. A mutual goal of shared life was a beat that everyone could dance to. She would have said that they both loved Naruto, but obviously she loved Naruto a lot more than the faunus in front of her.

'Arrogant little...' Blake cut herself off in her own thoughts. She wanted to change that way of thinking, and ot hate Weiss simply for her last name. If she hated Weiss, she would rather it be becaus Weiss tried to steal her (future) man from her. Oh yeah, she had zero plans of giving up Naruto to such an arrogant heiress. Naruto deserved the kind of life where he got to have a nice, quite life out of the spot light.

With the Schnee, there would be no privacy.

"Now, lets head north, collect a relic, and finish this test." Weiss demanded of them, and Blake only rolled her eyes and followed after the girl. If she was still in the White Fang, she would have taken this chance to slit Weiss' throat from behind. To cover her mouth to prevent her scream, as her eyes asked the biggest question of all.

Why?

Of course, Blake wasn't a murderer, and she wasn't in the White Fang anymore, so Weiss was going to be spared a bloody death at her hands. The girl was lucky, her guard was dropped, and her stance was lowered. It would be so easy for Blake to just take a few steps closer to her, pull out her weapon... and stab or shoot her to death.

Of course, Blake didn't have any internal struggles like that anymore.

"Sure, whatever." Blake said after a moment as she walked with Weiss. She didn't have any urges to kill Weiss, but she did know for a fact that a LOT of faunus would take this chance provided.

"I don't trust you behind me, walk in front of me." Weiss said after a moment, stopping completely. Blake rolled her eyes and scoffed, before she did walk in front of Weiss, if only to prove that she wasn't going to kill the girl.

What did she take her for, a member of the White Fang.

Oh wait.

'Damnit, I can never look at the White Fang with pride again thanks to Naruto. All I see is the old man's face, and the faces of the innocent people they hurt.' Blake thought as she scratched the side of her head.

"When was the last time you showered? You smell like noodles and tuna." Weiss said when she got a little too close to Blake, and got a whiff of her.

"Oh, sorry some of us can't afford good soap. I'm so sorry that I enjoy tuna, and work at a noodle shop." Blake told her sarcastically. She loved fish, it was her more normal meal. The meal of choice one would say. She loved all kinds of fish, not just tuna, but tuna happened to be her favorite.

"I didn't ask how you showered, I asked when you showered." Weiss reminded Blake, and the girl stopped for a moment.

"... Shut up." Blake snapped at her. She showered last night, but after her dream last night she had been too busy trying to figure out what it meant.

'Damn... Why can't I say anything nice to her?' Weiss wondered to herself. She was trying to be nice, but when she looked at those cat ears, all of the nice in her seemed to turn into mean. She didn't say what she wanted to say. She wanted to try and get along, but some part of her refused to be nice to Blake.

'Just ignore her Blake, don't hit her...' Blake strengthened her willpower, and reinforced the idea that she wasn't going to knock Weiss' teeth in.

"So... Why do you work at a noodle shop?" Weiss asked, trying her hardest not to sound... mean in that sentence.

"I owe the Shopkeeper, even if he doesn't know it. Also, I have a debt to pay back." Blake said with a small smile. The Shopkeeper would hopefully never learn she had been in the White Fang, so she did owe him, but she also had to pay back the Shopkeeper for all of the ramen Naruto ate.

He ate a lot, just to fuck with her.

"You owe him?" Weiss questioned with surprise.

"Yeah, I've hurt him without meaning to... I didn't know what I was doing, but Naruto helped to show me." Blake whispered with fondess. She may have started out on a rocky note with Naruto, but he really had taught her some amazing life lessons. He wasn't smart in the traditional sense, and he gave her sagely advice that showed street smarts and wordly wisdom.

She could never forget what he taught her.

"So... you want to... make amends?" Weiss asked, unsure of how to feel about Blake after that statement.

"Yeah... The old man and Naruto are the only people I have now... and I owe them both for giving me a chance... and I owe Naruto so much more." Blake said, but she whispered the last part too low for Weiss to hear.

Girl's weren't like guys, they didn't need to constantly question their feelings. Most of the time, they knew what they were feeling, or rather, they could understand it better than a guy did. It was the way their brains were wired.

Blake knew she had strong feelings of love for Naruto, and it started with a simple fact.

He was the first person to really take the time to teach her, and give her a second chance... even him saving her life didn't mean as much as his willingness to trust her.

"I'm... sorry for what I've said... but I will won't let you have Naruto." Weiss told Blake as she walked in front of her again, and Blake smiled for a moment. Apparently, Weiss didn't think she was going to stab her in the back anymore... but she wanted to make a point at the same time.

Blake moved in front of Weiss, before she extended a hand to her.

"I don't like you, but I can work with you." Blake told the Schnee girl, and Weiss took her hand.

"I don't like you either, but you seem decent enough." Weiss said, and the two of them shared a very small smile, before they were knocked off their feet by a rather powerful rumble in the ground.

What the heck was going on?
