I Do Not Own RWBY

Coincidental Interactions

It took Iris a few minutes of dragging Aiden around the dormitory to find team RWBY's room. Lucas followed closely behind keeping watch for anything abnormal.

"Why are you so nervous, you heard Drew. Nothing big happens on the first day of school, so nothing bad should come from us just checking out the main characters and introducing ourselves." Iris addressed the two guys as they kept trying to coerce her into returning to their dorm room.

Lucas seemed annoyed. "Yes, nothing big is supposed to happen on the first day, but if we get involved we might create a new situation that could further the plot faster than it originally does."

"Frankly I don't really care either way. I just want to go back to the room and rest since tomorrow is going to be a pretty taxing day." Aiden added softly as has neck was being slowly strangled by Iris' grip.

"We are all going to see the teams and you're both going to like it."

Before Lucas had a chance to rebuttal she knocks on the door.

"See Iris, no one's here anyway. Let's just go grab something from the cafeteria and head back to our...", before Lucas could finish his sentence the door opened, and checking to see who knocked was none other than Yang Xiao Long.

"Hi, are you looking for someone?" Yang asks wondering why the three of them were knocking on her door.

"Nope. We just thought it would be polite to introduce ourselves and get to know our classmates before lessons start tomorrow. I'm Iris. I'm sort of the outgoing big sister of our team." She tugs at Aiden's sleeve trying to get him to introduce himself, but to no avail. "This annoying data hog is Aiden."

"Come on Iris. Why do you have to be so forward all of the time."

Ignoring his comment she motions back towards Lucas "And this idiot back here is Lucas". She leans closer to Yang to try and get out of his hearing range. "You've gotta be careful around this one. He's a bit of a lady killer."

Lucas pushes past her. "Hey now. Is that really necessary. If you start spouting out false information like that about me then people are going to start to get the wrong idea. I mean, it's not like I just, go after, every girl, that I see." Lucas starts to trail off while speaking. He never lost his cool around women before, but Yang was different. He had never met anyone as stunning as her. Trying to regain his cool, he put on his charming smile and tried to act as swave as possible. "Hi. I don't believe we've met. I'm Lucas, and these two are my entourage."

"Hmph." Seeing right through his smile Yang instantly files him under her category of classmates not to take any shit from.

Shoving his face aside, Iris pushes back in front of Yang. "Anyways, we're team DLIA. I apologize that our leader Drew isn't here to introduce himself at the moment. He's had a bit on his plate recently and went to relieve himself of some of his built up stress."

From further back in the room a high pitched voice speaks up. "Yang, who's there?"

Yang turns around to address the shrill voice. "Three members of team DLIA. You know, that one team with the leader that has that weapon that you're in love with."

Rushing to the door Ruby stands beside her sister. "What!? I'm not in love with his weapon. I was simply entranced when I saw it in action during the initiation." she says innocently. Smiling to try and cover her frustration. Noticing the other three standing at the doorway she perks up. "Oh, hello. I'm Ruby Rose, and this is my sister Yang." Yang walks back into the room and Ruby steps to the side to allow the three of them in. Weiss is looking at her bottom bunk inspecting it to make sure it's safe to sleep in while Blake is in her bunk reading. Motioning towards Weiss "This is my partner, Weiss.", and motioning towards Blake "and this is Blake, Yang's partner.". Leaning in towards Iris she whispers "Don't worry about Blake. If she seems like she's ignoring you she's not. She's just really good at looking like she isn't interested in what anyone has to hear.".

Weiss stands up and proceeds to inspect the three students. "Hello, I don't believe we've met. I'm Weiss Schnee and...". Noticing Iris' fox ears her face starts to look more worried and scathing. "And I think I'll head back over her for now.".

Blake notices Weiss' change in attitude towards the three new classmates. "What, not interested now that you've noticed she's a faunus?" Blake questions.

Weiss looks over at her. "I just prefer to be cautious is all."

Fed up already with the ice queen, Blake stands up. "Alright then. I'm going outside for a while." And with that she leaves.

"What's her issue?" Weiss asks her other two teammates.

Yang puts off an air of menace. "Maybe it's your treatment towards our faunus classmates?" she states.

Weiss looks about ready to snap at Yang, but before she does all three of us get bumped from the side. Nora is pulling Ren into the room, similar to how Iris has been pulling Aiden all this time. "Hey! Aren't you that hotshot team DLIA?! The group that got their relics and got back in under five minutes! OMG! Can I fight you? I want to test my strength to see if there's a gap between us.".

Ren pipes up from behind her "Nora, stop being so forward with other people." Getting out of her deathgrip Ren bows. "I apologize for my partner's upfront nature."

"It's okay." Aiden replies, "I'm sure Lucas here would love to take you up on your offer to fight. Isn't that right Lucas?"

"Yea, sure." Lucas says still gawking at Yang.

Nora jumps up full of energy as always. "Super! Let's go right now!" She begins to drag Lucas away towards a sparring room. "Wait! What! What's happening? No! Stop! Stop! Help!" Realizing too late what he's agreed to he's dragged away from having any chance at acting cool in front of Yang.

Iris turns to Ruby. "Wanna grab something to eat while we watch my friend get pummeled?"

"Sure. Wanna come with us Yang. It'll be fun!". Agreeing, Iris drags Aiden along with the two sisters to laugh on the behalf of the pain Lucas was about to experience.

Following the music lead Blake to what looked like a meditation garden. As she got closer she began to realize that this music was foreign. Something she had never heard before. Reaching the epicenter she uncovers one of the students who passed initiation the day before.

I'll be gone

In a day

Finishing the song, I take a deep breathe. Letting all of that emotion out felt good, almost better than punching it out.

"What song was that? I've never heard it before."

Realizing there was someone listening I go on the defense. I transform my weapon into their gauntlet form and take a defensive stance. I turn and face whoever intruded upon my emotional state only to find the one person that I didn't want to meet yet. Blake Belladonna.

Seeing how I jumped Blake felt sorry for intruding. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that. I just heard singing and wanted to see who it was. If it helps any I thought it was good."

I relax my stance and collapse my weapon. "No, I apologize. I didn't think anyone would be out this far away from the main buildings."

"I needed some alone time to think, and dealing with a Schnee has been more than stressful. Her and Ruby fight none stop, and Ruby's sister Yang is just loud in general. Then comes along these three other students who were just trying to introduce themselves and Weiss goes on the offensive. I just had to step out for some fresh air after that."

"Wait three students. Would they happen to be a fox faunus girl and two annoying guys that she was pulling along with her?"

Blake has a slightly shocked look on her face. "You know them?"

I mentally face palm. Hopefully they didn't do anything to change the story. "Yea, I'm unfortunately their leader. Name's Drew, and I'm the leader of team DLIA. I apologize if they overstepped their boundaries, but if you get to know them they can be some of the most reliable people here."

"You trust them already?"

"Well, yea. They're my teammates. Plus I've known them for a long time, so I know I can rely on them when need be." I look over and see Blake's sad face. She looks lost and unsure of her situation. "Do you trust your team?"

"I do, mostly. I trust Yang because she's my partner, and I trust Ruby because she's my leader and also Yang's sister. But I'm still on the fence about Weiss. With her being a Schnee and all it might get bloody between us."

I decide to shake things up a bit. Maybe, if I start helping out now I can soften some of the emotion blows that come in the future. "You know, if you just tell them now that you're a faunus then I'm sure they'll understand and respect you for trying to hide it."

Blake looks at me with fear in her eyes. I instantly regret bringing up her secret.

"What do you mean tell them I'm a faunus?" she asks with the worst poker face I've ever seen.

"Come on Blake, you've gotta admit it's pretty obvious when your bow moves every time your expression changes. If it helps any I can be there when you tell them, and maybe I can even soften the blow on you by showing them I'm a half faunus."

Blake is taken back by my sudden reveal. "Wait, your a half faunus!?"

"Yep, on my mother's side. Evidently she was some sort of reptilian faunus cause the only trait I have is this small patch of scales on the back of my neck." I turn and pull my collar down to reveal the patch to her. "I have to admit though, it does make it pretty easy to blend in with normal humans, but I don't really care about what other people think to try and trick them. In the end I don't belong on either side. Faunus or human. I'm okay with what I am, I live with it, and I don't give a damn about other people's opinions on who and what I am." I turn back towards her. "You should trust your team. They'll be your closest allies for the next four years."

I can see the gears turning in her head. Processing my words and opinions.

"I'm not saying you have to tell them everything now, just keep it in mind for the future. Try and start out small, then work your way up to telling them the whole truth."

She smiles and finally looks me in the eyes. "Thanks Drew. I think I'll try that out. It might take a few months to win Weiss over though, but I'll get it done eventually."

She gets up to start walking back to her dorm. "Oh, and sorry for making you bring up your faunus heritage."

"Don't apologize. Like I said I've accepted it. And I would be more than happy to go into more detail if it were to help out another faunus in need."

"Thank you." And with that she was gone.

I slump down to the bottom of the tree we were sitting in front of. My heart was racing faster than Nora on a caffeine high. Okay maybe not that fast, but still at a fast pace. I really hope I didn't blow it with Blake. Having revealed all of that information about myself and telling her to trust her team more started to feel a bit like overkill. I begin the walk back to the dorm room, fretting over every little detail I talked about with her. Blake is one of my favorite characters, and now all I can think about is her and how awkward I probably was when I was talking with her.

"And then I hoisted him over my head and suplexed him. I was just surprised he could still walk after that." I overheard as I walked past the cafeteria. I slingshot back to try and hear a bit more and find that it's Nora eating supper with the rest of her team.

I smile and I start to leave when I pick up one last key detail, "That Lucas is pretty tough, he can take a bit of damage, but who I really want to fight is their leader." Slumping down Ren reassures her. "It's okay Nora. You'll get your chance to fight as many people as possible during sparring class."

So, Lucas got dragged into a fight with Nora, well this was some good info to have on his head.

After a detour to finally clear my thoughts, I make it back to the dorm room. Feeling the safety of privacy I open the door and waltz in only to be greeted by the three stooges.

"So where have you been? You've been gone for a few hours now." asks Iris as she steps up, arms crossed ready to argue over any excuses I were to make. I think about my response, but then a better one pops into my head. "You know, I could ask you the same thing. I overheard that you three went around and introduced yourselves to team RWBY." I look over to Lucas, "And that Lucas got a beat down from Nora."

"Hey, for the record I could have beaten her if I had my weapon on me."

Iris zooms over to him and squeezes his lips. "Zip it you. If it wasn't for you I would be on good terms with most of team RWBY. But then you just had to fall head over heals for Yang, and now she thinks our whole team is a bunch of weirdos."

"Wait, you have a thing for Yang now? What's that a new record?"

Lucas looks at me, eyes piercing me full of malice. "Can we change the subject back to you. Where have you been. You said you were going to go train for a bit, but when we went looking for you in the training rooms you were no where to be found. What gives?"

I begin to feel a bit sheepish. I take a seat on my bed and bite my lip.

Iris picks up on my body language. "What did you do?"

I take a deep breathe and tell them mostly everything. "Well, I might have accidentally snapped at Ozpin when he found me training. And I might have also revealed that I know about Salem. But on the bright side I managed to become friends with Blake."

Aiden looks up from tinkering with his glasses. "You told what to Ozpin?".

"Look, I didn't say much. Just that I didn't trust him and that I wasn't afraid of him or Salem. As long as we play it cool and stay away from him then we should be good."

"Don't you have your first leadership class with him tomorrow?" Lucas asks as he jumps in bed.

"Oh shit."

That night was a long night. The whole time I was spent tossing and turning, worrying about every possible outcome that I could have, and quiet possible did change just living through one day.

The next morning was an uneventful walk to our first class, Grimm studies. We manage to get there around 8:50 due to my need to be early for everything, so we got to see teams RWBY and JNPR fall through the door as they just get there before the bell rang. The first few classes I was looking forward to. Grimm studies, history, and sparring. It's the last class, leadership class, that I already knew was going to be a mine field. Ozpin was a very observant man, and it would take a lot to get one over on him.

Thank you for sticking with this fanfic. I know I'm trash at writing dialog, so next chapter is going to be a lot better. I tried to setup some relationships between the OC characters and the original characters for the future, maybe created some drama. Also the plan they've come up with is to pretty much to win over this world by knowing the future, but that's not to say that due to their personalities they might fuck some things up and reveal too much too soon. Also I like to think the tone that the OC characters think in their head is Code Geass, when in reality they're more similar to Sword Art Online Abridged.

Thanks.
