Reality Viewing: Nora's a Mommy
-Chapter 7-
"Come on Nora, hurry up so we can see what happens already." Coco said as she held Velvet in a one-armed hug and gently rubbed Naruto's head while he slept in the flustered faunus's arms.
"I know, just hang on a second guys," Nora waved the bereted teen off while staring at a microwave impatiently with a glare focused on the bucket of popcorn slowly filling up inside. "Come on you salty buttery goodness, finish popping already."
A soft giggle escaped C Kushina's lips as she watched the orangette pacing around impatiently. 'Oh this brings back memories.'
"I can't believe she actually stole a microwave from the kitchen just so she doesn't have to walk all the way down there to pop her popcorn." Weiss muttered dully as she broke pieces of celery apart and she dropped into Suu's bowl for the baby slime to eat. She couldn't help but smile a bit though when the little puddle of goop burbled in appreciation and briefly copied her hairstyle again.
"At least it wasn't an entire stove like she tried to last week." Ren added, still reading through the How To book on taking care of Suu.
"I would have gotten away with that too if not for that meddling Professor Goodwitch and her uncanny ability to stop me!" The ever energetic orangette proclaimed without an ounce of shame, before cheering when the microwave beeped. Quickly pulling out the comically large bucket that somehow fit within the much smaller microwave, Nora wasted no time hopping back over to the rest of the group and flopping into her seat beside Ren while pulling up the next episode. "Alright, snacks are ready! Let's go!"
-Chapter 7-
-Early Morning Crash Courses-
*Click* *Click* "Coco! Help me!"
*Click* "Seriously Coco! Help!"
*Click* *Click* *Click* "COCO PUT YOUR SCROLL DOWN ALREADY AND HELP ME!" The bunny girl screeched as she squirmed helplessly under her fluffy bindings as Naruto continued to nom away at her ear.
"That will never stop being adorable," Coco stated with a giggle at her partner's misfortune, playfully nudging the 'real' Velvet's side. "I should have known you were into the foxy boys."
"Coco…" The bunny faunus deflated with an exasperated groan, not even bothering to argue with her teammate.
"I think you should ease up sweetie," By some small miracle though, C Kushina came to her rescue as she pulled Coco back. "The poor girl needs a break."
"Oh fine… but I get to hold the baby now." The bereted girl said while scooping Naruto out of Velvet's arms, careful not to wake the sleeping infant as she started slowly rocking in her seat.
*Click* "Velvet, I'm sorry but*Click* there is no way I'm missing a single moment of this." *Click* Coco said as she took photo after photo with her scroll, a shit eating grin stretched across her lips. "Besides, it's not like he's actually hurting you, is he?"
"…no," Velvet said with a pout as she stopped squirming as much. It was true, the boy's grip was just tight enough to keep her from getting free without causing too much discomfort. Even him chewing on her ear was more embarrassing than it was painful.
"I would be more worried about drool getting into your ear, he is slobbering quite a bit." Weiss muttered as she stared at the saliva slowly dripping down the bunny girl's ear.
Shivering with a grimace, Velvet covered her own ears as a soft whimper slipped past her lips. "I don't even want to think about that."
"Naruto, what do you think you're doing?" Thankfully for the bunny eared faunus, her salvation came in the form of a white themed, white-haired heiress with a stern expression on her face as she marched over to the trio with two trays of food. The left one was sparsely filled, only having some fruit, a medium sized blueberry muffin, a small omelet, and a glass of orange juice. The right one on the other hand (lol) was practically filled to the brim with various types of food and a tall glass of milk.
"Is that really all you have for breakfast?" Kushina asked Weiss with a raised brow after eyeing the scarce amount of food on the left plate, pursing her lips when the whitette nodded in confirmation. "You should really eat more sweetie, fighters need a lot of calories to fuel their bodies. What happened to all that nutritional mumbo jumbo you were going on about earlier?"
"I follow a very strict meal schedule to optimize my nutritional intake each day thank you very much," The heiress stated, "That includes light breakfasts, a heavier lunch, and then a balanced dinner with…"
"You just had to get her started." Ruby muttered dryly while giving Kushina's clone a dull look, tuning out her partner's rambling about vitamin supplements and 'properly sorted meals'.
Naruto snapped out of his little daze with a start, his tails unfurling themselves from Velvet and he stopped chewing on the girl's ear to look towards Weiss, much to Velvet's relief. "White lady? Is it time to eat now?" He asked with a tilted head, drooling slightly at the large tray of food she was holding.
"Yes, it's time to eat, so please climb down from that poor girl's shoulders and get your food." Weiss told him while setting the meals down on the closest table.
"Aww, do I have to?" The child asked with an adorable pout as he snuggled deeper into Velvet's hair. He didn't know why but he just loved how the bunny lady smelled, it was just so… …irresistible. Velvet's entire face turned bright red as Naruto repeatedly brushed against the bottom of her ears which were extremely sensitive.
"Oh, are they now?" With a mischievous grin on her lips, Coco snaked a hand towards the top of Velvet's head as the fingers wiggled ominously.
"Do it and I will dye everything you own neon purple." And like that the bereted girl's hand was right back to cradling Naruto. Velvet was a sweet girl who usually very passive about most things that annoyed her but there were a few things that could really set her temper off in an instant.
And based on the edge in her voice right now, Coco could safely assume that she just found one of those triggers.
"Yeah, why does he have to? He looks perfectly fine up there to me." Coco cut in, getting a betrayed look from her blushing bunny eared friend. "I'm sure Velvet doesn't mind one bit."
Velvet tried to say that she did mind, that it wasn't fine, but every word of complaint died in her throat as Naruto cheered happily and nuzzled her head even more, sending relaxing and enjoyable jolts down her spine. Instead, she ended up just nodding slowly with her head bowed as she sat down at the table where Weiss had set the food.
Said white-haired heiress sighed in defeat as she and Coco, who still had her cat that ate the canary smile, also sat down. "Fine then, but don't complain to me when you're washing crumbs and such out of your hair all night."
'Don't worry, I won't be.' Velvet thought as she shyly glared at Coco who simply laughed it off. Naruto didn't respond at all as he was busy bringing food up to himself with his tails and wolfing it down.
"To be fair, I'd probably say yes to in your place," Coco admitted with a shrug when she felt her partner giving her a sour look once again. Gently lifting up the slumbering infant in her arms, she held his face up to hers while giving her best cutesy look. "I mean, who could say no to a face like that?"
*Burp* Literally right after she finished talking, little Naru burped up a bunch of milk that splattered all over the fashionably teen's cheek. Sitting there with a baffled expression she barely even noticed as Nora fell over laughing, Ruby and Weiss covered their mouths in sync to stop from laughing and puking respectively, and Velvet's grumpy frown turned to a vindicated smile.
"…I had that one coming."
"Yes, yes you did." C. Kushina said between giggles as Ren handed Coco some napkins to wipe off her and the now awake baby's faces.
"Soooo… names Coco if you haven't heard, and hug bunny over here is Velvet." Coco properly introduced herself while offering a hand.
"Weiss Schnee, and that's Naruto, don't we have some classes together?" Weiss asked Velvet as she shook both their hands.
"Yes… Dr. Oobleck's history class," Velvet said shyly.
"Wait, wait, wait," Swiping the remote from Nora, who cried out indignantly, C. Kushina paused the TV as she turned to Coco and Velvet with a confused frown marring her lips. "I thought you two said you were second year students. Why would you have classes with first years?"
"Some classes are mixed year, mostly things like history and mathematic classes but occasionally we'll have shared combat training or cooperative missions," It was Weiss who answered while pulling out her scroll to show the redheaded class rosters. "It's to help promote cooperation and teamwork between all students."
"Ah, I get it, making sure everyone gets along and plays nice with each-other." The clone nodded her head in understanding, before resuming the episode.
"Enough about that, you wouldn't happen to mind explaining that little bundle of joy now would ya?" Coco asked in a whisper while taking off her aviators, leaning extremely close to Weiss's face with a dead serious expression as she pointed a thumb towards the happily, and somewhat messily to Velvet's dismay, eating child as he demolished a bagel and chugged down the entire glass of milk. The whole scene was being recorded by her propped up scroll while she talked.
Weiss was caught off guard by the sudden change, sweating slightly as the slightly older girl's gaze bore into her. "P-professor O-Ozpin a-assigned me and a f-few others look a-after him," She stuttered out, her usual class and emotional control failing her for a brief moment before she managed to recollect herself. "You can ask him yourself if you don't believe me."
"Dang… and people say my mood changes fast, huh Renny?" Nora asked jokingly while tossing a piece of popcorn into the air and trying to catch it in her mouth, only for it bounce off her nose. Catching it before it could fall to the floor, Ren dropped the buttery snack into his partner's waiting mouth as he shook his head.
"Her reaction isn't all that surprising, a Schnee casually showing up to breakfast with a faunus child in tow, especially after the recent scandal, would definitely draw a lot of suspicion," He stated in a matter of fact tone before giving Weiss an apologetic look. "No offense but that's just the truth."
"None taken, I agree with you… I'd be pretty suspicious of myself too." The heiress waved him off, muttering the last part under her breath as she fed another piece of celery to Suu. Almost as if sensing her sadness, the baby slime suddenly clung onto her fingers and patting her palm with her little green/yellow tendril.
Coco said nothing, instead she stared straight into Weiss's eyes with a completely emotionless face. Weiss held the other girl's gaze solidly, but in her mind a chibi version of herself was sweating and shaking nervously under the scrutiny of the beret-wearing brunette. Now that she thought about it, she really should have seen this kind of reaction coming given the incident with the faunus orphans.
Eventually though, after what felt like hours, in reality only two minutes, Coco backed off with a nod as she reverted back to her previous attitude. "I will be sure to do so, but for now I'll let you off the hook." She said while picking up her scroll and looking at the time with slightly widened eyes. "Looks like I have to get going anyway, otherwise Fox and Yatsuhashi are probably going to sleep till noon, later Velvet."
"Wait, take me with… you…" Velvet started to say, only to drift off as Coco dashed out of the cafeteria and vanished amongst the throng of arriving students.
"You have my sympathy." Ruby told Velvet as she patted the rabbit girl on the back, recalling the time her sister had pulled a similar stunt on her during their first day at Beacon. She was still a bit sour at her for just ditching her like that since it ended up with her getting blown up, chewed out by Weiss, lost, then chewed out by Weiss again later.
"What's wrong Velvetnee-chan?" Naruto asked as he finished his last bite of food and went back to hugging her head. A frown crossed his face when she didn't answer, missing how the bunny girl's ears perked up.
'He's from Mistral as well?' She wondered, before being broken out of her thoughts as the blonde red-head suddenly climbed down her shoulders and onto her lap. From there he wrapped his arms around her waist and snuggled into her chest.
"Did I make you sad Velvetnee-chan? I'm sorry, I didn't mean too, honest," Naruto said as he looked up at the brunette rabbit faunus with watering eyes and sniffling slightly.
'Okay, being that adorable should be illegal!' Was the thought going through the minds of almost everyone in the room as the screen zoomed in on Naruto's sad face. His bright watering eyes and trembling lips combined with his round whiskered cheeks and fluffy hair created an absolutely adorable yet heart wrenching image.
The rabbit faunus felt her heart clench in her chest and before she even realized what she was doing, Velvet was hugging the child as she assured him he hadn't upset her.
While this was going on, Weiss watched from the sidelines, her face twitching as she struggled to suppress her love of all things adorable. It was one of her biggest emotional weaknesses, hell one of the reasons she wasn't as bothered by Ruby's childish actions like when she first met her because she had started to find them to be somewhat adorable at times. Not that she would ever, EVER admit it aloud.
Both Weiss and Ruby's faces erupted into blushes as the former's counterpart's private thoughts were exposed to the world to hear. They only got deeper when they saw the wide grins on C Kushina, Nora, and Coco's faces as the trio closed in around the pair.
"Oh-ho? Does the Ice Queen have a thing for roses?" Nora asked while playfully nudging Weiss's side, causing the whitette to sputter out denials.
"Or perhaps the little innocent rose has been trying to seduce herself some royalty with a cute act?" Coco added, wiggling her eyebrows as Ruby shrank into her cloak with an embarrassed squeak. Sadly for her though her attempt to hide was for naught as C. Kushina lopped an arm around her and Weiss's shoulders and pulled them together.
"You two would be so cute together~!"
'For the love of Oum, someone help me!' Weiss pleaded, her face practically inventing a new shade of red from how deep her blush was getting.
She was broken from her thoughts when her scroll started vibrating inside her pocket. Pulling it out and activating it, her eyebrows all but disappeared into her hair when she saw the caller ID.
'Winter!? But why would she be calling me right now? There's no way she heard about Naruto already.' She thought to herself, media may travel fast online but her sister never used her scroll for anything other than business or family emergencies and she was always working since she joined the Atlesian Military.
"Oh, you have a sister too?"
'Thank you Winter!' The heiress thought in relief as the attention shifted back to the screen when her sister was mentioned. Handing Suu to Ren, she fiddled with her scroll again until it showed a picture of Weiss with two ladies and a young boy which she showed the group. "Yes, Winter, that's her standing behind my mother Willow and that's my younger brother Whitley."
"Talk about a family resemblance." C. Kushina couldn't help but comment since all three siblings looked incredibly similar to each-other and their mother. All had pristine white hair, lithe builds, and even the same angular faces, although both Winter and Willow were noticeably more… developed than Weiss was.
"Whoa, is that a dual saber? So cool!" Ruby being Ruby, immediately focused on the weapon that was strapped to Winter's side, her eyes turning into sparkles as she gushed.
"Is she a total ice queen like you?"
"I am not an ice queen!"
"Nora…"
"Oh come on, we were all thinking it Ren."
Unnoticed by the group though, a frown started to mar the clone's lips when she noticed some off signs. There was a noticeable slump on Willow's shoulders which contrasted her graceful posture and her eyes had the dull lifeless gaze of someone who had given up on life she'd seen more than once from older retired Shinobi. She could also see bags under the woman's eyes, even with all the makeup to cover them, and the skin on her visible hand had the distinct discoloration of a heavy drinker.
Meanwhile, despite trying to look happy, all three of her children clearly did not want to be in the picture. The way Winter kept her hands close to her weapon showed an uneasy distrust of her surroundings while Weiss's eyes were focused away from the camera towards something off screen, and C Kushina didn't miss how Whitley was standing off to the side, at least a foot away from his siblings.
Figuring the only way to get answers was to… well answer, Weiss set her scroll to phone mode and brought it up to her ear. "Hello Winter, how can I-"
[Weiss! Is he still with you!]" Weiss practically jumped out of her skin as Winter's voice rang inside her skull with a tone of urgency and desperation the heiress had never heard from her sister.
"W-what? Winter, who are you tal-"
[Do not play dumb with me, Weiss! Is the faunus boy still with you?!] Winter cut in again, causing Weiss to freeze.
"Oh look, yet another person interested in Naruto, who didn't see that one coming from a mile away?" Nora asked sarcastically with a giggle.
"H-h-h-how?"
[Answer me!]
"Uh, y-y-yes, h-he's right n-next to me," Weiss said in a shaky tone, she'd never heard her sister act like this before, and it was really starting to freak her out.
*Sigh* [Good, whatever you do, do not let him out of your sight. I don't care if you use up your entire damn dust supply to do so, just keep him there! I'm headed to beacon as we speak.] The line cut out but Weiss made no move to lower her scroll as she tried to process what just happened.
Her sister not only knew about Naruto, including his appetite for dust apparently, she was on her way to beacon right now. But how? How did her sister somehow already know that he was here? Why would she even care that he was here?
"Probably because this little guy is from another dimension with the ability to consume one of the most volatile substances on the planet and have multiple semblances," Coco said, smiling goofily as she held Naruto up. "Isn't that right? Who's a super cool interdimensional baby? You are! You are!"
"…Naruto here is from across the veil."
"…I'm sure you noticed his rather unusual appetite,"
"These things have made the poor child a target for many people, and most of them aren't the kind of people you trust with the wellbeing of children…"
Ozpin's voice played inside her mind as the metaphorical lightbulb lit up in her head. 'Of course! She must be coming to 'collect' him for the military!' If that were the case, then doing as her sister says would be dooming Naruto to be a lab rat for the R&D department. As soon as the thought hit her, Weiss's face turned even paler than it normally was. 'AAAH! I can't let that happen! Nora would pancake me!' Mental images played through her mind of a chibi version of herself getting turned into a bloody smear by chibi Nora and her hammer.
"Damn straight I would." The orangette admitted while cracking her knuckles with a big smile, ignoring the smack she got from Ruby for cursing.
Speaking of the raven redhead, she had a worried look on her face as she turned to Weiss. "Your sister wouldn't actually do that, would she?"
"…It depends…" The heiress muttered softly, refusing to meet her partner's gaze.
'But if I don't do it, Winter will have my head!' Her imagination played out another scene, only this time it was chibi Winter, whom looked almost identical to chibi Weiss only with shorter hair, comically strangled chibi Weiss while the word 'nag' surrounded them in bold letters.
"The classic stuck between a rock and a hard place conundrum, never gets old," Coco said as a giggle escaped her lips before her face scrunched up in thought. "Or would damned if you do damned if you don't be more fitting?"
"Either or works." Velvet said with a shrug.
"YIPE!" "Aahahah!" Weiss was broken from her thoughts (again? Someone call the handy man!) as a high pitch yelp made her jump. Looking for the source, her eyes narrowed dangerously and a vein bulged on her forehead at what she found.
Cardin, a tall, muscular guy and leader of team CRDL, with burnt orange hair and wearing the male Beacon student uniform, was harshly yanking on one of Naruto's tails while he and the rest of his team laughed. Velvet looked like she wanted to help, but couldn't as Naruto's eight other tails had reflexively wrapped back around both her and the blonde red-head, leaving only their heads exposed.
C. Kushina's growled under her breath as she clenched her fists at the sight of her baby boy being tormented like that. However, rather than acting on her anger, the redhead just took a few deep breaths to calm down before she turned to Ren. "Let me guess, he's the school bully?"
"More like was the school bully," He told her, making a 'so-so' motion with her hand. "Long story short Jaune gave him a bit of a reality check a while ago during a field trip and his gang has mostly mellowed out since then. They aren't exactly great guys to hang out around but they've at least stopped bothering other students."
"Ah… wait, you mean that scruffy boy with the noodle arms?" The clone asked with a raised brow, causing Nora to burst into laughter while Weiss and Coco giggled and Ruby winced sympathetically.
Even Ren's lips twitched upwards a little at her description, although he was quick to school his expression again. "Yeah, him."
"Huh, guess he is tougher than he looks."
"Hahaha! Would you look at this, I didn't know it was bring your kid to work day. Oh wait, none of us have kids, cause we aren't slutty little animals!" Cardin said cruelly as he tugged on Naruto's tail again, him and his team laughing more as the child yelped in pain again. "And look how old he is, you must've been a real slut to spread your legs that early. But I guess we shouldn't be surprised that you breed like a rabbit!"
"Reformed or not, I am punching that guy when I see him." The clone stated with a scowl while cracking her knuckles as an ominous dark aura emanated from her body. Those closest to her couldn't help but inch away at the sheer dread they felt being near her, especially when her hair seemed to start moving in nine distinct bunches.
Weiss clenched her jaw as she got up to give Cardin a thorough chewing out, while also wishing she had brought Myrtenaster with her. She had barely gotten out of her seat though before pausing as she spotted a familiar pale blue glow emanating from the tip of the tail Cardin was pulling on.
"Come on slut bunny, aren't you gonna say anything or is your throat to sore from sucking on-" *PHA-SHINK* Cardin's teammates froze in shock as their leader was suddenly engulfed in what looked like a glowing pale blue cloud. When it cleared, all three of them jumped back with startled yells as Cardin was revealed to be frozen solid from the mouth down in a large cube of ice, his eyes widened in shock and the top of his head wiggling around uselessly. Naruto's tail pulled itself free of the ice block without a sound, revealing the perfectly circular hole leading to the bully's hand as it clenched and unclenched.
"HA! Go Naruto! That's how you do it!" Nora cheered, hopping to her feet as she threw a fist into the air. "Now break his legs!"
Sighing in exasperation, Ren grabbed his friend by the back of her shirt and pulled her back down to her seat without a word, ignoring the pouty face she gave him. Meanwhile, a snickering C. Kushina clapped her hands in approval along with Coco and Ruby.
"Well you can't say he didn't have that coming to him." Weiss said, trying to keep a straight face, yet her lips just wouldn't stop rising upwards.
"C-c-Cardin?" One of his teammates, a gangly looking guy with a green mohawk asked in shock before he and his two teammates turned to Naruto, their expressions contorting to rage as the fox faunus gave them an eyelid pull taunt. "Why you little cocky bastard! I'm going to tear you apa-" *SPLOOOOOOOSH*
The mohawked teen was cut off from his rant when Naruto's cheeks suddenly puffed up and he spat out a high pressure jet of water at the four teens, blasting them and several other students that were standing behind them away.
"Hahahaha!" And like that the ice queen broke, fits of giggles erupting from her lips as she leaned on an equally laughing Ruby for support. "T-that's one way to clean up their act!"
"He really washed their mouths out!" Ruby added, getting Weiss to laugh even harder.
"That's something your sister would say!"
"I wouldn't be so sure about that."
Slowly getting her laughter under control, the heiress sent her partner a questioning look with a raised brow. "What makes you say that?"
"Because it actually made you laugh." The raven redhead stated with the straightest face she could muster… before both girls broke into giggling fits again.
"Touché!"
-Elsewhere in Beacon-
A pen snapped in Yang's grasp as an unexpected surge of anger rushed through her for some reason.
-Back at the dorms-
'Ha! That's actually rather funny to see when it isn't happening to you,' Weiss thought as she quietly laughed at the downed team of bullies. Velvet was just sitting there with a look of complete shock on her face as she switched her gaze from Naruto to the groaning and waterlogged team CRDL, plus excess casualties, and back again.
"He… and they… but… water… where… not possible…" The rabbit faunus sputtered as she tried to make sense of what happened before she felt a hand grip her shoulder.
"How could his chest even hold that much water at once?" Velvet asked in disbelief. "That had to be at least six hundred gallons, the pressure alone would have… I mean even with Dust that should be impossible."
"Oh please, that little water spout ain't nothing yet," Kushina's clone stated with a smirk as she raised a hand up to her lips before pulling it away to reveal a golf ball sized orb of water hovering above her palm. She then flicked her wrist, sending the sphere over her shoulder and out a conveniently open window behind her. "Spend enough time with Shinobi and you learn that the impossible is only improbable for us."
"Trust me, just don't bother thinking about it as it will just give you a headache," Weiss told her with a straight face. "Now it's time for Naruto and I to get going before some other crazy thing happens."
*crash* *crash* *Crash* *Crash!*
"…"
*CRASH!* "NARUTO!"
A resounding smack rang out as Weiss palmed her face, hard.
"…I should have kept my mouth shut." Weiss deadpanned as she, Naruto, and Velvet stared at the gaping hole now in the cafeteria wall where the doors used to be. One pajama clad and heavily breathing Nora Valkyrie stood in the middle of said hole as she scanned the room over before finally settling on the trio. The rest of team JNPR and team RWBY standing behind her with awkward or equally deadpan looks on their faces.
Many in the room couldn't help but wince at the sight of the hole Nora's counterpart had left in the wall and then the several other holes behind that hole that led all the way to the dorms.
"So glad Professor Goodwitch isn't here right now…" Video or not, Ruby didn't doubt for a second that the combat professor wouldn't hesitate to slap them with a nice long detention for that.
"I told you it wouldn't be pretty." Nora said with a shrug as she munched on her popcorn…
*Whap* *Thud* "Ow!" Only to suddenly have her face be intimately united with the floor curtesy of a head slap from C Kushina. Slowly sitting up, the orangette rubbed the back of her head while giving the otherworldly woman a dirty look. "What was that for?"
However, she was swiftly cowed into submission by the stern piercing gaze the redhead shot back at her with a disapproving frown. "While I can understand that you were just being concerned and worried, that was far too excessive."
"But-"
"No buts, you need to get better control of your actions if you're gonna be looking after a child young lady. Understood?"
"…Yes ma'am." Nora whimpered out with a salute, shivering in terror as the air itself seemed to start crushing her under its weight all of a sudden.
"Good girl." Just as quickly as it appeared, the pressure vanished and C Kushina patted her head with a smile.
Seemingly in the blink of an eye, Nora was right in front of Naruto, checking him over while asking if he was okay. While this was happening, Weiss slowly turned her blank stare towards her own team as they and Nora's teammates walked over at a much more sedate pace.
"Did she not get the note I left on the door?" The Schnee asked, her expression not changing as she pointed towards the slightly calmed down orangette as Naruto introduced her to Velvet. Pyrrha shook her head as she held up the note Weiss was talking about. It read, 'Took Naruto to Cafeteria for breakfast, will be back soon. -Weiss'
"She got it… but only got as far as 'Took Naruto' before-"
"Before she flipped out more than a chimpanzee on LSD." Yang cut Pyrrha off with a wide grin. This actually got most of the others to chuckle or giggle as they pictured such an image, while Ren made a mental addition to his 'Nightmares of a hopped up Nora' file that would haunt him later.
"It I a very extensive file unfortunately." Ren admitted with a tired sigh.
"Hey, I'm not that bad, name one time-"
"Sugar rush when you were ten, first caffeine rush when you were twelve, the Atlas Coffee house incident."
"…At least let me finish complaining before proving me wrong." Nora mumbled, folding her arms across her chest with a pout while her partner patted her back comfortingly.
With Nora, Naruto, and Velvet, the rabbit faunus was shyly shaking hands with the enthusiastic pink loving teen as they finished introducing themselves. "It was nice actually talking to you Velvet, we should hang out more some time." Nora said with a big grin as she picked Naruto up and set him on her own shoulders, liking the idea of him sitting there after hearing about it from the boy.
"That would be… nice," Velvet said quietly, slightly uncomfortable as she talked to the energetic girl.
"""You get used to it.""" Ren, Weiss, and Ruby stated in perfect sync, making Nora pout even harder.
"Great! We'll talk more about it later though, cause right now I gotta take Naruto here shopping for some new clothes! TO THE MALL!"
-With Coco-
Coco was just about to open the door to her teams dorm when she stiffened up and her head snapped towards the direction of the cafeteria. "My shopping senses are tingling. I just missed out on the perfect excuse to go to the mall, ah man!" She groaned with a drooped head.
"Damn, I hate missing a shopping trip." The bereted teen agreed with her counterpart while snapping her finger wistfully.
'Serves you right for ditching me like that.' Velvet thought as a tiny vindicated smirk appeared on her lips.
-Back with the others-
After her loud declaration, Nora shot out of the cafeteria at NRS, near Ruby speed, through the hole she made while Naruto yelled, "Bye Velvetnee-chan!"
"…She does remember that she still has class today, doesn't she?" Weiss asked, getting shrugs all around before the PA system gave a starting tone.
[Attention students.] Professor Ozpin's voice rang out getting everybody's attention. [Due to the discovery of mold, water damage… and recent structural damage,] Everyone glanced at Nora at that last one, [all classes are now canceled for the next few days until the affected areas are renovated. Thank you and have a nice day.]
"You've got to be kidding me…" The heiress muttered duly, before holding a finger up to Ruby's lips when the girl was about to speak. "Not. A. Word."
Weiss's eyebrow twitched rapidly as she quickly started turning red in the face. What was it, prove Weiss wrong every time she speaks day? Just as she was about to reach her bursting point though, she, her team, Velvet, the three remaining members of team JNPR, and every other student in the area still conscious paled dramatically as a hauntingly familiar sound echoed behind them.
*Creeeeeeeaaaak*
Everyone in the room but C. Kushina froze instinctively as that hauntingly familiar sound filled the air.
"We're dead…" Ruby whimpered as she hid behind Weiss.
Everybody slowly turned around to the sight of a very angry looking Glynda Goodwitch, the same flaming purple aura from before surrounding her as she stared at the teens through the same hole Nora and Naruto just left through. "Which of you is responsible for this mess?" She demanded in a deathly quiet voice that all of them heard clear as day as she gestured to the messed up cafeteria and then behind her as she moved to the side, revealing dozens of large holes all lined up perfectly in a row leading to the dorm building.
As one, every other student in the area moved to the sides of the room while pointing to the eight petrified teens who all had the same thought running through their heads.
'Oh shit…'
-End Chapter-
"Oh Oum, she looked really mad." Velvet muttered, shrinking in her seat under Glynda's piercing glare which remained frozen on screen for several moments before slowly fading away to the home screen. As if to mock them however, the first picture to appear was one of the blonde Professor herself giving a class lecture while Naruto was curled up on top of her desk napping.
Still cowering behind her teammate, Ruby peeked out from behind her impromptu meat shield with big watery eyes. "It was like she was gonna jump out of the TV and get us."
