Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 1100- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, Beacon, Dance, Dance, Infiltration.)

"Well, hello there, commando handsome…"

Skyler heard Yang purr when he entered in a blue and black tux, he pulled at his collar.

"Hi, Yang…"

Skyler said this was like jumping into the ring with an Alpha Deathstalker… And trying to fight it barehanded.

"So, like the party that I and Blake helped organize?"

Yang asked, Skyler finally noticed the white halter neck dress with a grey helm and the fact that she wore white heels.

Skyler blinked, it was… Not what he expected from someone who seemed to love Yellow.

"Yeah… And White? I figured you'd be more… Well…"

Skyler said, Yang was amused with how the boy acted, she knew Skyler could easily cut down a swarm of Grimm no problem… But it was clear he didn't have many social skills… At least when it came to talking to people like her.

"Yellow? Blake convinced me to try something new…. Just like I managed to drag her out of the library after she was tracking Roman... I mean, all of us are… But she needs to relax…"

Yang said, she noticed Skyler's ears perk up at this, he turned to her with a look of surprise.

"You're trying to find Roman? I thought you were just in the area at the time."

Skyler asked, Yang, giggled, not something the brawler normally did, she clicked her tongue and shook her head, and a finger in the air.

"Nope, I went to go talk to Junior, he and I have history, Weiss went to some tower, and Blake went to find out what the White Fang rally was about while Ruby went to look through things at town…. Roman just happened to toss that mech at us… Before I totaled it with my friends…"

Yang said, Skyler nodded as the two moved towards the dance floor, he knew Ruby had fought Roman, a talk with Professor Ozpin told him that… And he was aware of the battle on the Snow Sparrow….

But the fact that RWBY was hunting Roman and the White Fang? Perhaps he could help them if they could destroy a Paladin…. Granted, it was still a prototype, and Roman probably still had no idea how the damn thing worked, but it was still a Paladin.

"Perhaps… Maybe I could help? Since my job is hunting the White Fang and Roman is involved in them…"

Skyler muttered, Yang chuckled as she looked at Skyler, she dragged the boy to the dance floor.

"Yang, what the he-….!"

Skyler yelled out as Yang grinned and allowed Skyler to stop moving as he looked at the brawler, surprised once more at Yang's strength firsthand and annoyed at being dragged around.

"So, you're asking me if we can work together? Isn't that a bit bold?"

Yang asked, Skyler, rolled his eyes and twirled Yang, trying to dodge the verbal landmines she was setting up, she didn't stop smirking though.

"You want Roman gone and you know it's my job to take Roman and the White Fang down… Since both of those involve fighting, and since you are damn good at it a lot more than I thought you'd be fighting a giant war mech… Yes, I am asking if I can work with team RWBY…. Professor Ozpin wants them gone just as much as General Ironwood…"

Skyler stated while dancing if Yang wanted to be a freestyle dancer and not like Atlesian? Screw it, he could dance like that.

"So, you want to tell your boss you're helping us because our teacher wants the bad guys gone, and your boss wants them gone… And how are you going to tell your boss that helping us helps him? Wouldn't that be against orders, Captain?"

Yang teased, Skyler rolled his eyes while the two danced, he was glad the students around him didn't know that he was Atlesian Black Ops, them knowing he was military wasn't a problem…

"No, I've been fighting the White Fang since I was 13, Yang… If it helps the General, he's fine with it…. I think he'd ask Ozpin if RWBY is ok with letting me help all of you more than he is with both of us teaming up… Unless Ms. Sun Dragon doesn't like some backup?"

Skyler said, he blinked for a second at the joke, Yang grinned and laughed, looking the captain in the eye.

Skyler returned the grin, much to his inner shock, neither refusing to back down….

"No, just hope you can keep up as you did in the forest…. Because my friends and little sister can kick more butt than you think… But you already know that, right?"

Yang asked, Skyler chuckled once more in amusement, he twirled Yang and then stopped and smirked.

"Well then, I look forward to working with you, Ms. Xiao Long… Just try to kill more Grimm than I do, and I'll be impressed…"

Skyler said before both walked off the dance floor, Skyler and Yang sat at a table; Sun ran over at the moment.

"Yang, look at what Jaune did while you and…. Skyler, right? While you guys dancing, look at what happened!"

Sun asked before Yang took the scroll and burst out laughing, Skyler grabbed it before looking at the scroll.

"What the…. What is…. Huh?"

Skyler asked, Yang, turned to see Skyler smirking and starting to twitch.

The boy burst out laughing as Yang smirked once more, it seemed under all of Skyler's training, he could be more down to earth.

The dance only helped prove it…. And she was interested in teaming up again with Skyler…. If only to amuse herself by making him flustered somewhat.

Skyler calmed down and allowed Sun to leave as he returned to Blake's side, Yang was content to allow the dance to go on, she had gotten a dance in, and been able to get Skyler to stick around longer… That was enough for her at the moment.

Little did either know what would happen in the coming months between them.

Author notes

Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know the chapter was short, I wanted to have Yang and Skyler bond a little… The next chapter, which is on Sunday, will show them heading to Mt. Glenn and will introduce a new villain… As for Yang and Skyler? This was more of a date between friends for now. Until the next chapter, Lighting Wolf out!
