Bold is for attacks

Leona's POV

Team JNPR won their first-round fight with little fanfare.

"Umm Ruby." I coughed a bit "Can you…help me out with something?"

"Oh." I gasped a bit realizing what I meant "Umm…crap now's not the great time, Weiss is running off and…"

"No it's fine." I scratched my arm "I just felt it coming on, it'll be a while before I really need it so it can wait till tonight."

"Great." She smiled.

I followed her out of the stadium, if I couldn't get any blood from her right now I might as well take my mind off it by spending some time with her and Weiss. The white-haired girl had ran off to one of the arrival areas on her own.

"Weiss!" Ruby called out to the girl "What's the big deal, who were you talking about?"

"Are you expecting guests?" I asked following behind Ruby.

"It's…Winter." The girl said.

"Actually it's Fall right now." I hummed.

"No Winter, my sister." Weiss smiled.

An airship landed and a woman who resembled Weiss but hair shorter styled hair and a more military look about her stepped off and looked around.

"Winter!" Weiss waved before running over to the woman who was accompanied by two robotic soldiers "I'm so happy to see you! Oh Uhh…your presence honors us."

Ruby and I followed her over, Weiss was surprisingly excited, a rare sight for her.

"Beacon…" the woman walked forward "It's been a long time, the air feels different."

"I mean you said it's been a long time." Ruby and I both said before laughing a bit about speaking like that.

"Great minds think alike." She joked.

"Grr…" Weiss glared at us a bit "So what are you doing here?"

"Classified." Winter looked off.

"Oh right…how long are you staying?" Weiss asked another question.

"Classified."

"Of course." Weiss smiled.

"Well…" Ruby hummed "This is nice."

"Very informative." I sighed.

"You'll love it here!" Weiss smiled acting unusually cheery "So much here is different, the government and school are totally separate can you believe that?!"

"I'm familiar to how this kingdom handles this bureaucracy That's not why I came here." She looked at me "They certainly welcome all kinds."

"What's that supposed to me." I growled under my breath.

"I also didn't come to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle." Winter noted.

"But we won." Weiss pointed out.

"Only a novice would refer to that as a win." Winter said "At least your savage partner there made a point to throttle her opponent. You missed at least three strikes…Leave us."

She waved off her robot platoon.

I can't tell if I like this woman…or I wanna cold clock her.

"So…how have you been?" Winter asked.

"Splendid thank you for asking!" Weiss smiled.

She's like a different person in front of her sister

"I'm in the top ranking of my sparring class and the rest of my classes are going wonderfully-OW!" Weiss yelped when winter suddenly slapped her.

"Silence! I didn't ask about your ranking I asked how you've been." Winter groaned "Are you eating properly, have you taken up any hobbies, are you making new friends?"

"Well there's…these two." She pointed out me and Ruby.

"Heh she called us her friends." Ruby giggled.

"How nice of her." I smirked.

"I…see." Winter sighed "How appropriately…underwhelming."

"Thank you?" Ruby said confused.

"What's underwhelming about me?" I sneered "I'm bigger, stronger and way cooler than you or Weiss."

"Greetings Ruby Rose, Leona Lionheart, thank you for taking an interest in my sister." Winter told us.

"Oh of course the Uhh honor is in my court." Ruby bowed.

"Just…stop." I luahged a bit.

"I have business with the General and your Headmaster but since I'm early why don't you take me to your quarters." Winter half smiled.

"Really!" Weiss perked up "Of course!"

"Yes I wish to inspect them."

"Inspect?" I rolled my eyes.

"We'll catch up!" Ruby told them as the sisters left "Alright we've got a few minutes you want to do this or what?"

"Yeah but we'll have to be quick about it." I pulled her into a dark corner and lowered her coat to cut her shoulder.

"HMM!" Ruby whimpered a bit "This…is getting to be too much Leona, it's almost every other day, maybe we should talk to someone about it, if you keep cutting into my like this I'm gonna scar."

"Don't tell anyone." I glared up at her licking her the blood off her shoulder.

"But-."

"Please Ruby, they'll just think I'm even more of a freak." I sighed putting a bandage on her shoulder "You saw how Winter looked at me, to so many people I'm just some uncivilized beast, imagine what else they'd say if they learned I was addicted to the taste of blood."

"I know it's just, huh?" she paused looking over and seeing a crowd run by "What's that?"

"I don't know." I said following her "Take it easy your shoulder's still bleeding a bit."

"It's fine." She smiled running off.

"Ruby wait!" I ran after her.

I pushed through the crowd and found Ruby and Weiss that, some guy with red eyes and short grey black hair was fighting with winter. He used a weapon that reminded me a bit of Ruby's.

"What's going on?" Ruby asked.

"Some crazy guy attacked my sister." Weiss explained.

"Cool." I laughed watching the two fight it out.

"Oh no who would do such a thing!" Ruby gasped looking on "THAT IS MY UNCLE!"

"What?" Weiss and I both gave her a look.

"Kick her butt Uncle Qrow!" Ruby yelled.

"Teach him some respect!" Weiss snapped.

"Let me join in." I smiled.

"NO!" Ruby and Weiss both held my arms.

"Like you two could hold me back." I smirked.

"Schnee!"

General Ironwood, a representative from one of the other lands that Ruby told me about showed up and stopped the fight.

"BOO!" I grumbled.

"Stop pouting like a child." Weiss told me.

"Now there's no reason to get upset." Ozpin showed up "But there is a sanctioned fight going on with better seats…and popcorn!"

"Break it up everyone." Miss Goodwitch was with him.

"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby ran up to the man "Did you miss me?!"

"No." he patted her head and dropped her.

"A word please." Ozpin waved him over.

"I think I'm in trouble." The man sighed.

"You did kinda tear up the courtyard." Ruby shrugged as he walked off.

"Suddenly your recklessness makes sense." Weiss sighed.

"You're just made cause he whopped butt." Ruby laughed.

"You guys have such cool relatives." I frowned a bit "I wish I knew what it was like."
