"Alright. Track'n'Steal rings are finished. These should detect the energy of magic relics and People and lead you to them. They will also harmlessly steal the Abilities in people without injury. That Cinder woman used a Grimm if the Distinct corrupted Grimm aura in her body says anything." I explain handing the girls a Copper ring with a Black Center inlay.
"How will they work?" Towa asks. "Just send some Aura into them and the rings will Connect to your mind. You'll know where the nearest magical thing is and You'll just need to follow it." I explain.
I then get a call on my Right vambrance. I Tap it and a Holographic screen turns on above it. It was Ruby calling Me. "Oh hey Ruby. What do you need?" I ask.
"Hey Ethan! I was just wondering but, Wanna join me at the Arcade downtown Vale? I want an Excuse to Leave beacon academy for a While." She asks.
"Uhm Sure. When's a Good time?" I ask. Kinda out of nowhere but okay.
"Great! Meet up by Ten?" Ruby asks. "Sure." I agree.
I Disconnect the call and Turn back. "Alright what was i, What?" I ask. The girls are Pouting at me. What'd I do?
I adjust my newest addition to my look. My new tie. It was a Black tie with a Simple Enchant. When loosened it becomes straight and stiff when supplied by Aura. It also becomes sharp as a Blade because why not?
"Hey!" Ruby shouts. I Turn to face her and see she had dressed up into a Less puffy skirt. She actually looked Pretty cute. "OK first. Damn Girl. You cute. Whatever you did keep it up." I comment. She blushes predictably and I chuckle at her expense. She pouts cutely at me and I Chuckle a bit more. "Second. Ready to go then?" I ask.
"Yep! Took a while to get past Yang but I managed." Ruby says.
"Ah." I comment. "So what are we waiting for then? Let's head off!" I declare. Only for Godzilla to meow and stand On my shoulder.
Ruby giggles at the sight and I Roll my eyes. "Hey she's a Package deal with me. Where I go she follows." I comment.
"Really?" Ruby asks. "Yeah." I say with an Admittedly sad smile. "We died together and stuck together since then. And No one is gonna stop us now." I tell her as I pet Godzilla. "Oh." Ruby comments. She smiles at me and we walk off. Godzilla meanwhile Jumps off me to walk besides me.
Today might be a Good day.
Nevermind. Asshole owners won't let us in because my fur baby is a Health hazard. "BITCH FUCK OFF! MY CAT HAS BETTER HEALTH IN HER ASS COMPARED TO YOUR SWEATY LOOKING ASS!" I yell the the owner as we walk away.
"Well that was a Bust huh?" Ruby chuckles. "Yeah. But hey the day is still young. Wanna check out the rest of Vale while we can?" I ask Ruby. "Sure!" She smiles. I Look away hiding my blush. God damn girl Reign it in a bit or I might get blinded by your smile.
We walk the streets for a good while and Found a Restaurant that let us bring Godzilla in. Its a Open cafe that serves tuna to strays. So that's good.
I pick up the Menu and Look through the options. "What are you having?" Ruby asks.
"I think I'll have the Beef Wellington. You?" I ask. "The chocolate sundae." She says. I frown. "Yeah no." I say. "Huh?" Ruby asks. "Ruby. I love you sweetheart. But if you order a Sundae it will just open you to ridicule for choosing the desert first." I explain. Ruby whines but I don't have it. "Tell you what. I'll order the sundae for both of us and you gotta choose a good dish from the menu." I propose.
"But all these dishes are boring." Ruby whines. I raise an Eyebrow. "How come? What have you been eating all this time?" I ask.
"Ramen, Cookies, Occasionally a steak from the butcher. And Sweets." She lists off. I stare at her in shock. Godzilla stares at Ruby in shock. "Ruby. Sweetheart. How in the 9 circles of hell are you even alive?" I ask.
She chuckles and I Sigh. "Alright. I'm Gonna order you a dish that I want you to try. If you don't like it fine. If you do. Promise me you'll try eating some more variety." I propose. Ruby shifts in her chair but nods. A little embarrassed at her self. I Look To my menu and Find a Few good options.
Ooo! This one is good.
"Alright here's One. Home made three neat spicy stir fry. With a Side of Rice and a loaf of bread." I propose. "Awe spicy food? I never could handle them." Ruby whines. "Oh don't worry Ruby. The sauces for stir fry aren't actually spicy. They're mild in fact. Now if you want spicy? I suggest adding home grown peppers if you so wish." I reassure her.
She pufs air through her nose as she glares at me. Doesn't help that her face is too cute for a glare.
"Trust me you won't regret it. You gotta learn to try things every so often. If I didn't I wouldn't have come to terms that I'm Bisexual." I state.
Ruby Blushes at the implications. I decide to mess with her. "And yes I did have a few boyfriends here and there. I wouldn't mind hooking up with a few actually." I tease. Her face turns atomic red at that.
"D-does t-that mean..." She asks. "Yep. We fucked." I bluntly state. Her nose suddenly spurts blood. And I hold in a Snort. "Awe! Don't be ashamed. Its natural. Besides We're still on good terms with each other. Well granted mist of my past flings are from my past life. And now I May never see them Again." I Mumble.
Dammit Ethan. You bummed yourself out. "Do you miss anyone?" Ruby asks.
I nod. "Yeah. I do miss them. But I'm hoping they are living a Comfortable life without me." I answer. "I see." She says.
I sigh and then smile. "Well enough about me. Aside from your confusing choice of diet. What else is to know about You Rose?" I ask.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Well there's not much to say. I grew up in Patch island and Lived there training my skills as a Huntress with my uncle and my dad. Along with my sister after finally conving our dad to let us train." She says looking at her coffee. "Overprotective parents?" I ask.
"Yeah. Mom died when I was little. And dad didn't wan't the same to happen to his daughters." Ruby clarifies. "Admirable goal to be honest. I would definitely do the same in his position." I add.
"Yeah. I still love him to bits though." She says. "What else? Do you have any notable memories?" I ask.
"Yeah. Before dad had let us become huntresses, We were sent to various classes to dissuade us from being a Huntress." She says.
"Really? Creative approach." I say. "Yeah. I actually took up Gardening, Singing, and Hunting at one point." Ruby says. "What about Yang?" I ask. "I know she likes dancing. She wanted to take up cooking but she is forbidden to cook, and Parlor tricks." Ruby answers. "I'm Afraid to ask." I say.
"Good." Ruby says. She shivers. What the fuck did you do Yang?
"Excuse me sir. but are you two ready to order?" A Waitress asks. I Turn to her and Give her our order. I also get a Diet Pepsi and a Ruby orders some tea.
"No pop?" I ask. "Carbonated drinks are a No go for speed type semblance users. It tends to do more harm than good for us." Ruby explains. "And Caffeine doesn't?" I ask. She just shrugs. Huh.
"So how did you meet your teammates?" Ruby asks. "Well. When I reincarnated I stuck to myself and lived alone for I say a good month or two. Just adjusting to my new life. I Hunted demons for their body parts as in that world we could make weapons from something simple as a Fang." I explained.
"Really?" Ruby asks clearly excited. I nod. "Yep. So as I was hunting a Demon called the Mistress three eyes I met up with Moroha and Setsuna. We fought it but unfortunately the demon took our rainbow pearls and a decoy I somehow had." I explain.
"Rainbow pearls?" Ruby asks.
I grab something from my pocket and Pull out a Green, Blue, Purple, and light blue pearl. "These things are rainbow pearls. Condensed demon energy able to do a Multitude of things." I explain.
I then suddenly remember that I had these for a While and didn't use them. Shit.
"Wow." Ruby says. I Then move my hand to my glass eye and it glows as I take the Orange and gray pearl out. "The gray pearl.is mine. The orange pearl is from a human eating monk. The purple pearl is from a Tiger demon with wings, the blue one I stole from some guy who though he could scam me, the light blue from a reptile demon, And the green from a Merchant I was partners with." I explain. I pick the gray and Blue pearl up and insert them into my glass eye. My body shivers from the power. I put them away as the food has arrived.
"Here you go sir. Two plates of three meat spicy stir fry with a side of rice and a Loaf if bread. And here are your drinks. Enjoy." The waitress says. She bows and leaves.
I Pick up my fork and Scoop up some rice and stir fry to try. "Oh damn this is good." I say. I had to stop myself from just devouring it.
"Is it really that good?" Ruby asks. "Yeah! Go ahead and try!" I encourage. I Stab my fork into a Piece of meat and Try that. "Ooh. Rabbit meat. Nice." I comment. Ruby meanwhile is hesitant but does scoop some up as I eat my food. "You sure this is good?" She asks. "I'm sure." I say.
She Looks at her food before deciding what the hell and took a bite.
Her expression lighting up was ungodly pure. I Chuckle at her as she devours her food. She blushes when she realizes what happened. "Awe that's adowable. You has food." I tease. Her face turns redder at that. I can't help but laugh.
"Ah." Ruby say as she leaned back on the chair. We ended up ordering seconds and she ate it up afterwards.
"I take it you enjoyed yourself?" I ask eating some of my food.
"Yeah. This was fun." Ruby says.
"Mmm."
Ruby sighs as I take out my wallet and take out some Lien. Well more like stolen money. I had Godzilla snatch the money from the customers around us so I had some money to pay for our dinner.
"How did I not know about food like this?" She asks. "Because you were a stubborn girl who insists on eating sweets." I tease. "Shut it." She says.
I place the Money on the receipt and Put my wallet away.
"Anyway its about time we head off. We can only avoid Beacon for so long after all." I say. "Yeah." Ruby says as we get up. Godzilla meows and Climbs onto my shoulders. We head out and I look back just in time to see a Crowd of worried customers. All human too. With a Few faunus to make it less suspicious. I chuckle as we head back to beacon.
I wave bye to Ruby as I head to my dorm. I open the door and Godzilla heads for the shrouded litter box while I head for my bed.
"So how was your little date?" Moroha asks. Is she annoyed?
"It wasn't a Date Moroha. I think Ruby is too pure to even think of that." I say as I lay down on my bed.
(Meanwhile)
Ruby was Holding a hand to her heart as she tried to calm herself. She just now realized they had an Unintended first date. And it was certainly fun that's for sure. She took a Deep breath as she Opened her dorm door.
"Oh! My baby sister is all grown up!" Yang says hugging her sister. Ruby groans as she forgot about Yang.
And Scene.
