A/N So I made a mistake and uploaded the wrong chapter at first. shout out to Mecharic for letting me know. If he hadn't I probably wouldn't have noticed until I went to work on the next chapter, so yeah, thanks. anyways onto the story!

Ruby wasn't paying attention. She knew that she should, but she had just been handed her new scroll. If she wanted to conduct research on it, she needed to understand how to operate it. So while the rest of the teams were being called up, named, and given team leaders, she was running the tutorial program on the scroll.

'Pyrrha is trying to talk to you.' the voice in Ruby's head said. Ruby looked up and towards the redhead at her side. Pyrrha held a concerned look on her face.

"Don't worry, I'm listening." Ruby told her, the look on Pyrrha's face said that she didn't believe Ruby.

'Ruby we're drawing attention by not paying it ourselves.' her other half said, 'we will have plenty of time to hunt Torchwick down.' Ruby sighed and put away the scroll.

"Fine," Ruby said turning to look at the stage, "but one of you needs to explain how to work this thing to me." Pyrrha nodded with a smile to her new teammate.

"Next we have Weiss Schnee, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren," Ozpin was speaking as the group who fought the deathstalker stepped onto the stage, "and Yang Xiao Long." Ruby froze, it all clicked. She couldn't hear what else Ozpin was saying she couldn't see the rest of the group standing there, all she could see was that golden hair done up in a ponytail, and the girl standing beneath it. There was no way, right? Not after so long, it couldn't possibly be her. The chances of them deciding to go into the same profession, let alone the same school, would make that impossible right? Yet she could not bring herself to believe her excuses. Standing there on the stage was her long lost sister, Ruby knew.

'Ruby!' her other half called. Ruby was jerked out of her thoughts to see the group on the stage already walking off. 'Ruby what's going on, you've never ignored me before.' Before Ruby could answer mentally, another voice at her side spoke up.

"We just were called, we should probably head up there." Jaune spoke from the other side of Pyrrha. Who was still looking at Ruby intently.

"Ruby are you alright? You just turned really pale." Pyrrha asked with concern.

"Y-Yeah, just kinda thought I recognized someone." Ruby answered. She could feel confusion from her other half for just a second before it realized what she was talking about. Meanwhile the team stepped forward onto the stage.

"Pyrrha Nikos, Jaune Arc, Ruby Rose, and Blake Belladonna." Ozpin began, "You four collected the White Knight pieces." Ruby was still so lost in her thought she almost missed what Ozpin said next. "From this day forward you will work together as team Rainbow (RANB), led by Ruby Rose." Ruby barely withheld a glare, there went any chance of just slipping by in Beacon. Ozpin had probably deliberately made her responsible for others to get her to engage. Speaking of which, Ruby quickly looked over her team, Pyrrha had a big smile on her face, Jaune gave a thumbs up, and Blake gave a short nod. Yeah, she wasn't getting out of this one.

Yang wasn't sure what she was feeling. Not five minutes after she had been named leader of team YRVS (Rivers), the team that had fought the Kumiho during initiation came up. The name of the leader was what caught Yangs attention though. Ruby Rose. Had lady luck decided to finally cut Yang a break and drop the very thing she was seeking right in her lap? Yang looked closer at the girl on stage. No, she should have known. Yang couldn't see the girls face, hadn't ever seen the girls face thanks to that hood that always seemed to stay up, but she could see the tail swishing back and forth behind her. Her sister was human like her, this was just the universe being extra cruel to her. Deciding that was it, she waited until they were dismissed and followed behind her team towards their dorm.

Ruby didn't understand, she knew her name had been mentioned to everyone, twice actually. So why had Yang just walked away? Had she forgotten Ruby? Was she truly alone in the world now?

'Hey!' the voice interrupted her thoughts, 'I'm still something aren't I?' Ruby held back a laugh.

'Yeah, you're right,' Ruby thought as she began to look at her new team as they each grabbed a bunk. 'I've got you, and them.'

"Alright team RANB!" Ruby said drawing her team's attention, "I know it's late but we should get to know each other before we get started so lets go around and each introduce ourselves with one fact about us and then everyone will get to ask one question, I'll go last." Ruby then nodded towards Pyrrha.

"Right, Uh, I'm Pyrrha Nikos," Pyrrha began, "and, uh, I Studied at Sanctum academy before coming here."

"Sanctum's in Mistral isn't it?" Ruby asked while looking deep in thought.

"Yes, it is." Pyrrha answered.

"Wait," Ruby said as her eyes widened, "Crap there goes my question."

'Knucklehead.' the voice teased as Pyrrha began to laugh.

'Shut up.' Ruby retorted.

"What's your family like?" Jaune asked. Pyrrha stopped laughing and took on a more somber face.

"Well, it's really just me and my dad." Pyrrha said, "my mom was a huntress but she died before I could remember, so yeah just me n' my dad."

"Is your mom why you decided to be a huntress?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, actually, I talked my dad into getting me fighting lessons so I could compete in tournaments and I was able to convince him just recently that I should be strong enough to handle any grimm out there." Pyrrha answered before turning to Jaune, "alright your turn."

"Right." Jaune said, "Well I'm Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls of the tongue."

"I think you're forgetting a part there, Jaune" Ruby giggled.

"Nope. Not. At. All." Jaune said before continuing, "anyways, um, I'm from a little town called Ansel. So yeah."

"What is does your weapon do?" Ruby asked almost before Jaune had finished speaking.

"Um, well you've kinda already seen all it can do." Jaune said, "It's just a sword and a collapsible shield."

"Oh, well that's cool too," Ruby said, "I'm a major weapons nerd so I kinda put everything I could into Just Rose."

"Why did you ask what my family is like?" Pyrrha asked.

"Well my family is really important to me." Jaune said, "figured it would be a good way to get to know everyone."

"What's your family like then?" Blake asked

"Well, we're a kinda large family, there's my mom, my dad, my seven sisters, and me." Jaune answered.

"Seven?!" the three girls in the room said together.

"Wow, ok, well on that note, Blake it's your turn" Ruby said to get everybody back on track.

"Right." Blake said in a monotone voice.

"I'm Blake Belladonna," Blake said, "I grew up outside the kingdoms."

"Cool, what's your family like?" Jaune asked.

"I'm an only child so it was just me and my parents." Blake said.

"Why did you become a huntress?" Pyrrha asked.

"It seemed like a good fit." Blake's answer was short and to the point as always.

"Why do you hide your ears?" Ruby asked it innocently but Blake froze her eyes going wide.

"What do you mean 'hiding her ears'?" Jaune asked, "I can see them."

"How did you know?" Blake asked, ignoring Jaune. Ruby paused in thought for a moment, she wasn't sure if Faunus were supposed to be able to scent each other or not.

"I saw your bow twitch, like ears." Ruby explained, Blake seemed to relax.

"I wear the bow to avoid allot of the discrimination." Blake answered, "I'm sure you know about that sort of thing."

"Not really, I don't spend a ton of time around, well, people so…" Ruby answered. "Well I guess it's my turn, though I've already given a couple of facts." Ruby paused in thought again, "Oh, I know! I'm Ruby Rose and I've worked as a private eye before. Okay questions away."

"Um, alright" Jaune spoke up first. "Why do you always wear your hood like that."

"Oh, well I guess that makes sense as a question, I was going to have to show you guys anyways." Ruby said as she lowered her hood, allowing both of her pointed canine ears to jump up again. "Weird right? Most Faunus only have one trait but I've got two." Ruby didn't technically lie to them, she didn't claim she was a Faunus and she did have two visible traits.

"Not that weird, rare, yes, weird, no." Blake said.

"Okay, you said you were asked to come here," Pyrrha said.

"When did I say that?" Ruby asked, even as her other half started to remind her.

"When we were discussing teams." Pyrrha answered.

"Oh, yeah, forgot about that." Ruby said, "Yeah, I was asked to attend Beacon by Professor Ozpin, he even had to make an exception to allow me in early."

"Early?" Jaune asked.

Ruby nodded her head, "I'm only fifteen, but it should be Blake's question now."

"Why do you carry a kitchen knife at your back?" Blake said, "I know it's not your main weapon." Ruby sucked in a breath, she was hoping that particular subject wouldn't come up tonight.

"It was the weapon someone used when the first attempt on my life was made." Ruby said, she stared off into space for a moment. "So I carry it with me as a reminder."

"Reminder of what?" Pyrrha asked.

"I think that's all the questions for tonight." Ruby said, "We have a big day tomorrow."

"She's right," Blake said, "we'll have plenty of time for question and answer games."

A/N alright so not a whole lot of action tonight but we do have some interesting things going on. Ruby's team has gotten some answers but raised even more questions. Also this is like the first time in the whole story someone has seen Ruby's face without the hood. Anyways so yeah, I haven't been able to get as much done on these stories as I was expecting to be able to these last few weeks. I've got like one week left before I'm back on an almost total hiatus, so we'll see how much more I can get done in this time. Hope you all enjoy!
