hello once again, in case you havnt read previous AN, I'm Lost...
That's pretty much it, I've (suprisingly enough) run out of anything remotely witty to say for this author's note. Hope you enjoy.
Also, I dont own rwby or any other media I reference.
"Uh Yang... I'm in jail." Ruby drops on Yang with absolutely no build up.
"Run that by me again Rubes. It sounded like you said you're in jail. Which, knowing you, shouldn't be possible for my cute and innocent little sister." Yang says with a smile that doesnt reach her eyes as I try, and fail, to hold back laughter.
"Hey little gem.*snickers* Why exactly are you in jail?" I say and Yang gives me a slowly reddening glare.
"Oh nothing too bad. I just stopped a robbery. They want me to talk with Ozpin though so I'm in holding." Ruby let's out and I see Yang visibly relax.
"Why didn't you lead with that baby sis? You had me terrified that I'd have to break you out and pin it on Dorian." "HEY!" "Anyway we'll be on our way. C'mon D-man, you get to hold me close again." She says with a smirk as she gets me back for laughing at her face at hearing Ruby is in jail.
"You know Yang, you wouldn't even have to pin the breakout on me. You know I'd help Ruby out no matter what. She's like my 2nd little sister." I say as we climb onto Bumblebee and we take off.
"OH SO SHE'S A 2ND LITTLE SISTER TO YOU. DOES THAT MEAN YOU HAVE PLANS FOR US? OR IS IT BECAUSE MOM TREATS YOU LIKE THE SON SHE NEVER HAD?" Yang yells over the wind and again I'm forced to cling for life from how she drives.
How in the hell did she get her license?
"YES!" I say trying to be coy. Honestly its both. I wouldn't be opposed to being in a relationship with Yang and Summer is like the mom I never had in this life.
Though if we're being honest, Yang has the emotional depth of a kiddie pool in the year I've had to know her. She's pretty much chatty, hungry, angry, feist, and horny.
While I didnt have the balls to bring a girl to their house during my stay there, she had no qualms about the boys of island of Patch. Though at least she had standards and didnt sleep with every guy.
She actually prefers the sensitive and shy types. Who knew?
"THAT DIDNT ANSWER THE QUESTION D-MAN!" Yang says with slight tones of annoyance.
"OH BUT IT DID DEAR YANG. IT'S JUST UP TO YOU TO DETERMINE WHAT I MEANT. DONT FORGET, COMMUNICATION, JUST LIKE RELATIONSHIPS, TAKE MULTIPLE PARTIES. YOU WANT A STRAIGHT ANSWER, ASK A SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT QUESTION." I say giving her I "light" squeeze as we drift low around a street corner.
"YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE DIDNT YOU?!" I yell over my terror and thrill from the maneuver.
"SO WHAT IF I DID?"
"IF YOU WANT ME TO HOLD YOU CLOSE ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS ASK." I say to throw her off balance.
"LIKE I'D WANT TO BE HELD BY AN OVERCONFIDENT DORK LIKE YOU." Yang yells back in token resistance to the idea as she leans back into me.
Seeing the Police Department in the distance I decide it would be prudent for her to drive normally.
"HEY YANG! THE PD IS JUST 2 BLOCKS DOWN. I SUGGEST WE SLOW DOWN UNLESS WE WANNA BE IN HOLDING WITH THE LITTLE GEM."
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE DARING TYPE DORIAN? DONT YOU WANNA LITTLE THRILL?" Yang asks trying to get a rise from me.
"IM SURE BASKING IN YOUR PRESENCE IS THRILL ENOUGH. ID RATHER NOT BE PAIRED IN JAIL WITH THE ONE GUY WHO THINKS HE CAN GET GRABBY WITH ME. MANY BROKEN HANDS WERE TREATED FROM THE MISTRAL DRUNK TANK." I say in reminiscent tones from my last few years back home.
"Oh this I gotta hear." Yang says with a smile as she slows and we eventually stop in front of the PD.
"Not to much to say honestly. Got put in the drunk tanks a few times with Qrow and some guys think it's cool to grab onto my horns. I show them the errors with such thoughts. Dont get me started on the guys who try to dry hump the others in the tanks. Damn annoying. Many nuts were cracked. Eventually, they decided to give me and Qrow our own cells to prevent hospital bills from being sent to the jails for endangering the occupants by putting then with 'sadistic and violent' degenerates such as myself and Qrow." I say with a shrug and hold the door open for Yang to see Ruby standing in the lobby talking with Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch.
Ozpin is a 6'6 pale white man who appears to be in his mid 50's with silver hair, brown eyes, black suit over a green vest and turtleneck combo with a purple cross pin in front of his throat, wearing small circular shaded glasses, which is douchey to wear at night, and holding his weapon which is his cane, The Long Memory.
His counterpart, Glynda Goodwitch, a white woman of 6'5 with blond neck length ringed hair, green eyes, glasses,a black Cape with purple lining, white long sleeve pleated top that has a keyhole opening showing her rather generous cleavage, black high waist pencil skirt and brown stockings where I can also see her riding crop, The Disciplinarian, strapped to her thigh.
I swear if this woman doesnt get off on the dominatrix teacher look, she plays the part rather naturally.
Looking to Ruby, I see her rocking on her heels excitedly as she spots us walk through the door.
"Hey guys! Guess what? IM GOING TO BEACON! Two years early too. The headmaster says I have skill that let's me skip ahead." She says as she runs up and hugs me and Yang.
"OH MY GOD THIS IS GREAT! I get to have my little sister with me at Beacon. I always knew you were great Ruby. Thank you professors." Yang says as she hugs Ruby and jumps up in down in glee.
"Yeah Ruby that's great. Cant wait to see you kick the asses of all the scrubs in our year." I say ruffling her hair.
"Hey staaaaahp. Also, SWEAR!" Ruby says as she takes my hand off her head and takes out a nearly full jar that has the word Swears across it.
Me and Qrow, with occasionally Yang, have already filled 3 of such jars within the last year. Summer also has her own set for us.
"Alright fine. How about I put a little extra cuz you'll need need new school books." I say reaching for my wallet and realizing I gave Junior the last of my Lien to try and help pay for the damages.
"Well this is awkward. I spent the last of my cash at the bar. I'll have to give an IOU." I say rubbing the base of my right horn.
"You owe me double then." Ruby says pulling out an abacus and pair of reading glasses.
"How about this little gem, I'll pay personally for all your books and this months weapons magazine as well as that variable zoom scope and new rifling for higher caliber dust rounds. That sound ok-" I get interrupted as Ruby rushes into me and hugs the life out of me. At least she would with she had any real upper body strength. Honestly this last year I tried teaching her hand to hand and unless it has to do with the lower body, she cant fight worth shit.
Her kicks hurt though, must be all that hyper speed running.
"OHMYGAHDURTHEBESTOLDERBROTHERWHOSNOTREALLYMYBROTHEREVER!" Ruby yells at hypersonic speeds that it takes a moment for me to register what she says and hug her back.
"Dont worry about it gem. Think of it as a congratulatory present for skipping two years. Now wanna introduce us to your new acquaintances?" I say gesturing to Oz and Glynda who have been looking at this scene with bemused expressions.
"Oh yeah sorry, this is Headmaster Ozpin and his headmistress Glynda Goodwitch. Both faculty of Beacon." She gestures to both as they walk up.
"Hi professors, I'm Yang Xiao Long, 18 years old, and Ruby's big sister. I'm entering Beacon this year as a first year. Glad to be goin." Yang days with a smile and salute, then shaking their hands.
"Pleasure to meet you Miss Xiao long, I am Ozpin." He says with a slightly condescending smile. Though that might just be me.
"Oh I've heard of you Miss Xiao long. I certainly hope you won't be giving me any trouble during your stay here. I also hope you don't have your father's terrible habit of horrible puns." Glynda says with a slight grimace.
"If you're worried about trouble then that might be double with Dorian here. This man also has some high quality punnage." Yang says with a smirk and nudge to my side.
"Yes, sorry to burst your bubble, but I have no intention of making trouble." I say with a deadpan tone that I break with a slight smirk at hearing Yang snicker next to me from my rhyming.
"Anyway, I'm Dorian Chromic Nikos, adopted brother to Pyyrah Nikos and secondary heir to the Nikos family. Also family friend of the Rose- Xiao Long household. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." I say with a slight bow and taking off my visor for Ozpin and Glynda to see my Silver eyes.
"A pleasure Mr. Nikos. You have Sliver Eyes. While silver eyes are rare, the fact that your pupils are red and gold is even more interesting. If it isn't too much a bother, how exactly did that happen?" Ozpin says drinking coffee from a mug that appears from nowhere, not even bother to hide his true motive.
"Oh well, this happened due to my fully awakening my semblance. My semblance let's me manipulate the Molecular bonds and structure of anything I have consumed prior. Say we have the walls around us, because I have consumed stone and concrete, I'm able to affect them with just a thought and some Aura. Turns out my semblance also changed my mouth and stomach so I'm able to consume anything. Besides people of course. You see the day I unlocked my Aura, I was attacked by a Grimm. However she wasn't like anything else I've seen before. She was a woman with pale white hair and skin with black veins and eyes with red pupils. I dont remember much of what was said, but I do remember the attack, a tendril of sharp darkness is flying towards my face and I can't move fast enough to avoid it, so it flys towards my mouth and I bite down consuming the darkness. Next thing I know, my eyes, horns, and teeth are burning as the world blasts into a blinding white light and everything in front of me turns to volcanic glass and ash. In front of me, where the woman stood, is a black skeleton with the same red and black eyes that backs off into a pool of darkness. From then on, my eyes have always been like this. Turns out this was Grimm essence seeing as I can just disintegrate younger Grimm and even older ones with considerably more effort and Aura the older they are. The oldest I've killed is a middle aged Beringel and I had to figure out the best way to kill a Grimm is to destroy its brain from the inside." I say as Oz looks at me with rapt attention and a tight grip on his mug as Glynda clenches a fist.
"Why that is some story Mr. Nikos. I'm glad that you survived such an encounter with the woman. She is incredibly dangerous and resilient. Such a semblance as well will also serve us well as you learn to be a huntsman during your curriculum at Beacon." He says with a calm tone of voice so convincingly that if i didnt know about who she was to him and the ability to read body language, i would have thought nothing of it.
"Yes be that as it may professor, may I suggest we get back to the academy. We must still plan for the students coming and the entrance ceremony in two days." Glynda says while taking out her scroll and typing something in it.
"Yes professors, we should go and prepare for our entrance. It was a pleasure speaking with you." I say with a slight bow and turn to the girls.
"Yeah, what D-man said, been a pleasure." Yang says with a smile and wave.
"Bye Professors Ozpin and Glynda, thank you for this chance. I won't disappoint you." Ruby does a salute and semblance runs out the door, leaving a trail of rose petals. I guess it's a good thing they're made of Aura and fade, otherwise, I'd hate to be the one who has to clean after a hyperactive Ruby.
-2 days later-
It's the day of our entrance to Beacon and, as usual, Ruby and Yang are in high spirits here aboard the bullhead to Beacon
"OH I CANT BELIEVE MY BABY SISTER IS GOING WITH ME TO BEACON! This is going to be the best day EVER!" Yang exclaims while squeezing the life from Ruby in a bone crushing hug.
"*gasping* Please stop." Ruby requests looking more and more blue from lack of oxygen.
"But I'm so proud of you." Yang says with a smile as bright as the sun.
"Really sis, it's nothing." Ruby replies sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head.
"I would have to disagree there gem, it's not everyday a huntress in training gets jumped two years." I say relaxed and smiling at the two of them while looking around through my visor. I even spot Jaune in the corner with his hand to his mouth as if about to puke due to his motion sickness.
"See! Even Dorian agrees. Its incredible! Everyone's gonna think you're the Bees knees." Yang.
"But I dont wanna be the 'Bees knees, okay? I dont want any kind of knees! I just wanna be a normal girl with normal knees." Ruby sulks and I cant help but chuckle at the play by play.
It really is something else when you see such an iconic scene in person.
"But aren't you excited little gem?" I ask to keep the scene rolling.
"I am excited...*sigh* I just, I got moved ahead two years. I dont want anyone thinking I'm special or anything." Ruby says downcast.
"But you are special." Yang say giving her sister a hug. Not even knowing how right she is.
As we grow silent, we look towards the tv screen showing the news with a mugshot of Roman Torchwick.
"Hey Dorian, isn't that the guy you talked to outside the club? What was that all about?" Yang asks.
"Wait you talked to him!? He's the guy I fought and got me into Beacon. How do you know him?" Ruby exclaims in surprise.
"Oh well I know him from a few contact meetings and bars in Vale. That night I had to give him a warning about his employer. Qrow messaged me earlier in the day to keep a look out. I delivered the message for Qrow. My guess is whoever his employer is is the one responsible for his series of heists. Usually he's the type to do one big heist then go into hiding for a while instead of a chain of robberies. Frankly this type of spree is beneath him. He's all about image and this makes him look like a common thug instead of a criminal mastermind." I say giving half truths while also giving my analysis of his criminal career. There is a reason why a middle aged man like that hasn't been caught in one of the biggest hunter capital's of the world.
Granted the show never actually acknowledged that, but this is real life we're talking about. This place is absolutely crawling with hunters and hunters in training.
"Really? Well that seems weird." Yang says in consternation.
Then the news changes to a scene of a group of Faunus protesters and then a group of people holding signs with a snarling wolf with three claw marks come onto the scene and the protest devolves to violence. Out of the corner of my eye I see a certain cat Faunus stare at the screen in disappointment.
Said Cat Faunus is one Blake Belladonna. Or the Beauty to Adam Taurus's Beast.
Blake is a 5'9 fair skinned woman with dark black hair and amber eyes. She wears a black bow on top of her cat ears to hide them, rather poorly I might add, black buttoned vest with a single silver button on the front. On her left arm is a detached black sleeve and om both forearms is black ribbons. Underneath that she wears a white high necked sleeveless cropped undershirt and white form fitting shorts. She wears black full stockings that fade into purple towards her feet which are clad in low heeled boots. On her lower back, just above her considerably sized hips, is a magnetic strip which holds her weapon Gambol Shroud.
Gambol Shroud is a three form trick sword. It's sheath is a cleaver, when unsheathed, the actual sword is a katana which she duel wields with the cleaver. The hilt to the katana is a semi-automatic pistol and the blade can be folded in half to make a Kusarigama that whe moves around with ribbon attached to the hilt.
"Hey Dorian, what do you think about the White Fang?" Ruby asks me with an innocent expression.
"Well the answer to that is both complicated and simple. I used to support it back when it was a peaceful organization under the administration of Ghira and Kali Belladonna. Unfortunately, because of growing discontent within their ranks and subversion from both inside and out, they were ousted from their roles as peaceful leaders and the woman known as Sienna Khan, a charismatic and passionate woman, took over as leader and is the reason why the White Fang started using violence instead of going along peacefully. She once even tried recruiting me back in Mistral but I told her she could go shove it. She wanted me to prove my allegiance by hurting Pyyrah and my father and then using the family funds to help the Fang. A woman like that is on a warpath and she doesnt see the hypocrisy in her words. Instead of trying to help All faunus, she only helps those who are desperate and willing to spill their blood for her, those who defy her are held in contempt and she periodically likes to send 'messages' to those who dont support the Fang. As I said though, hypocrite." I say with disdain as Blake's ears twitch under her bow and her lips grow into a thin line.
"But why does she hurt innocent faunus and humans who dont want anything to do with the fight?" Ruby asks confused.
"Because a woman like that only sees in black and white. Either you're and ally or an enemy. There are no innocent in her eyes. Who know what happened to her to make her this way, but I'll say this now. She hurts those I care about, you guys included, she's gonna find out how it feels to be torn apart by a storm of glass dust." I say with a dark grin and out of the corner of my eye see Blake tense up at my threat to her former role model.
Poor girl was blinded by a pretty picture painted by Sienna when she was still with the Fang. She eventually saw the truth, but that's still years of idolizing her.
"You're scary sometimes D-man. Thanks for saying you care though, almost makes a girl feel tingly inside." Yang says I'm a giggly voice. "Oh hey we can see Beacon from here." She says as we walk towards the window to look at the Campus grounds.
"Yeah Dorian, we care about you too." Ruby says and hugs me, barely dodging out the way of a running Jaune as he pukes on the floor next to Yang.
"Guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang says as Jaune continues heaving.
"I wonder who we're going to meet. Hopefully they're better than Vomit Bo- oh gross you have vomit on your shoe Yang!" Ruby exclaims and grows squeamish.
"What!? Oh gross,gross,gross, get it off!" Yang screams as she comes towards me and Ruby.
"Get- Get away from me! Get away, get away, get away!" Ruby screams as Yang chases her across the bullhead as I chuckled and disintegrated the vomit pooling itself towards me.
Not the first time I've had to clean puke with my semblance. Turns out vomit coming out of my mouth passed the prerequisite for me to control it.
With that, that's the chappy. Hope you enjoyed see ya later.
