Ruby had been standing in the dust shop for a few hours when it happened. Just listening to her music and running her fingers over the magazines and books. One her favorite songs came onto her headphones and she started bobbing her head a little when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She removed her headphones, turned around and said, "Is it closing time already?" She sniffed the air and it wasn't the owner, but someone else.

"Who are you?" She asked the stranger.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I said hands in the air."

"Are you, robbing me?"

"Yeah."

"Ohh." She began to smile from what was about to happen. Before he even knew what happened, Ruby nailed him the chest and sent him flying through the air. She heard two more sets of footsteps coming towards her and rammed them out the window, taking herself with them. She would have to pay Old Man Shopkeep back for that later, but right then, she had other things to worry about. She pulled Crescent Rose from her lower back and transformed it as she stood. The small girl sniffed the air.

Smoke, metal, dust. She focused her ears to get an accurate count of them.

Somewhere Nearby

A squad of policemen rushed through the streets of Vale, frantically searching for something many of them feared they would never find. Kenshin Himura was pointing out directions, giving out orders and commanding them with authority that Saito had. Before he died, Saito had declared that if Kenshin ever need help to do as he says. "Check everywhere, and anything that might be something, bring it to me." He stopped in the middle of the street and turned toward the south-west. One of the officers took notice and asked him about it.

"I sense something off, that I do. Could I borrow your scroll please?" The man agreed and handed Kenshin his scroll. He dialed the number and put it up to his ear.

"Hello, Ozpin. It's Kenshin, that it is. I sense the same presence as the season near my location, that I do. It would be beneficial to send someone to look into it, that it would."

"I'll send Glynda, she's the only other person here right now. Where are you?"

"I am just south of the central docks and I sense the presence from south-west of myself, that I do."

"Okay, thank you. She'll be right over."

A few minutes later, Glynda did show up and Kenshin pointed her in the right direction.

"I hope you know your actions won't be taken lightly young lady," Glynda scolded as she walked behind Ruby.

"They started it," she retorted.

"That doesn't matter. You still not only put your life, but other's lives in great danger. If it was up to me you'd be sent home, with a pat on the back." Ruby looked to where her voice was coming from. "And a slap on the wrist." Ruby jerked her hands away before the woman could strike them with her riding crop. "But there is someone here who wants to see you."

She heard footsteps coming from the doorway. "Ruby Rose."

Oh my god, it's professor Ozpin! She started wiggling in her chair trying to contain herself. Glynda looked at her funny, but Ozpin ignored it.

"You, have Silver eyes," he continued. Wait, does he know? she thought.

"Um, do you-"

"So," he interrupted, "where did you learn to do this?" He asked, referring to what was on the scroll Glynda was holding.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I can't see whatever it is you're pointing at. I'm blind."

"Hmm. Yes, it seems I might've forgotten. That tends to happen when you get to my age. So let me ask you this. Who taught you to use a scythe?"

"My uncle Qrow trained me when he was still a teacher at Signal Academy. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, but now I'm all-" she started making combat noises that I don't know how to spell.

He took a drink from his coffee cup and set it on the table. "Tell me, what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"

"I want to become a huntress."

"You want to slay monsters?"

"Yeah. I only have two more years left at Signal and then I'm going to apply to Beacon. You see, my sister's starting there this year and she's trying to become a huntress, and I want to become a huntress cause I want to help people, and our parents always taught us to help others so I thought, 'well might as well make a career out of it.' I mean the police are alright but huntsman and huntresses are so much more romantic and exciting and," she shrieked, "you know?" Glynda stared at her with concern, where as Ozpin, once again, ignored her excitement.

"Do you know who I am?"

"You're professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon."

"Hello"

"Nice to meet you."

"You want to come to my school?"

"More than almost anything else." He looked at Glynda who scoffed as if to say, 'fine then'.

"Well okay."

"You did well, that you did." Kenshin had picked Ruby up from the station and taken her home. They were walking up the path now, the moon soaring high above their heads.

"Thank you Uncle Ken, but how did you get there after the call so quickly?"

"I was in the area investigating the string of murders. We managed to find a strand of hair covered in blood that didn't belong to any of the victims. We assume it belongs to the killer, that we do, but the DNA didn't match anything in the database. It is strange, but we found a trail and followed it back to the docks near where you were."

"But that doesn't explain how that huntress got to the roof in time to save me from that blast. Did you have something to do with it?"

Kenshin smiled at her. "That's a secret, that it is."

Author's note: And that's the chapter. It always bugged me a little bit that Glynda seemed to show up out of nowhere just in the nick of time to save Ruby, so I made it make sense. End author's note.
