Hey guys, Flipkicks here and today I bring you a new chapter for "The Reaper of Beacon", thank you guys for checking out the story and letting me know what you all thought of the previous chapter.

A lot of you guys have been asking me on where the storyline is heading and the story will mainly be the RWBY volumes 2 to 3 but expended with my own take on it. There are episodes that won't appear but will be mentioned as the story progress and their character development will also be my own take with Ichigo's involvement. As I said, Ichigo will be a mentor to the RWBY characters and also be a love interest to the girls as well.

I do not own neither series.

Try to get along

Beacon Academy: 8:00am

Nothing beats today like a nice, warm sunny day. The birds are chirping, the squirrels running around with each other up the trees, students walking by, or talking with each other, and just enjoying the peaceful morning with no worries or problems whatsoever!

Yep! Nothing can ruin this day at all.

"HELL NO!"

Except the scream of certain blonde bombshell, who's probably the worst punster in all of creation, who currently seems to be in a very bad mood already. Welp! There goes that nice, and peaceful, sunny day. Let's go see what she's yelling all about to ruin this great day.

Inside Team RWBY's room, we can see that two people are the room, and looks like a heated argument is currently going on in the middle of the room. The two people that are in the heated conversation is Yang Xiao Long, who is right now is on FREAKIN FIRE, and are always adorable, socially awkward, silver eyed weapon nut and her little sister, Ruby Rose. Both girls are in their combat outfits, and it seems that both of them want to just punch one another's lights out, just to knock some sense into each other.

"But Yang~, this is the perfect time to try and resolve with Ichigo and probably the best time to make friends with him." Ruby said.

"No, no, and NO Ruby. I don't want to be anywhere near that guy. He just screams trouble, and that's something I want YOU to stay as far away from as possible ." Said Yang, sternly.

"Says the girl who looks for trouble 24/7, to relieve her of everlasting boredom called homework/school." Ruby muttered under her breath, hoping her sister didn't hear what she said but unfortunately for Ruby, her sister did hear what she had to say.

"What was that DEAR sister, I couldn't hear you, mind REPEATING that one for me?" Yang said. While in the background behind her was a, fierce looking, Eastern Chinese Golden Dragon. Who looked liked it was about to eat our Little Red without any remorse or regret.

When Ruby first looked at the dragon that is her sister, she knew that she had to choose her words carefully, and wisely, or else she might not be able to become a huntress in the future, and potentially find someone who will fall in love her and probably want to marry her in the future. I mean, she doesn't have a certain orange spiky haired student on her mind that could fill in that position. Nope she just wants to be "VERY CLOSE FRIENDS" with him, that's all it is nothing else! So she made sure to choose the right things to say in order to calm her big sister down, and to make sure that she doesn't cause any damage to her, or her future.

With a soft voice, she said, "Nothing! I am just wondering why you are so against trying to be friendly with Ichigo, heck, you seem to be the only one who's uncomfortable when he's around us."

With a very deep and tired sigh, Yang stopped using her semblance, then slowly walked right to her bed and plopped down right on it. She looked up at Ruby with eyes, that Ruby has never, EVER, seen her sister have that were filled to the brim with… Fear?!

"Ruby, do you remember when we all first saw Ichigo? Like when we all thought he was just some delinquent looking new student who just wanted to become a huntsman, but when we were fighting him, it was all a completely different story. The way he fought and moved were that of someone who has been fighting to the death every single moment of his life, a true Huntsmen in the flesh. But, that… thing ruined the whole image." Yang said. She still remembers the look that thing gave them, and it scarred her to the core. She couldn't go to sleep at night for awhile, because the image of the 'Possessed Ichigo' kept haunting her dreams every. single. NIGHT! It took about TWO WEEKS for all her teammates to convince her that it won't come back to get her and kill her, and it worked. Well kind of. She didn't have dreams about the thing anymore, but the look that it gave in her dreams, it was still there. That look, it was the look of someone who was having fun hurting and killing people like it was some sort of game and it's eyes, they were the gates to it's soul, but all she saw in it's eyes… was eternal, everlasting, Darkness.

All Ruby could do was look at her sister's shaking form, from just thinking about the demon inside Ichigo. Ruby knew that the world isn't all black and white as some people thought it was, but it does have it's grey as well and that's where Ichigo lies in. He was just dealt a very bad hand at life, and is now suffering from it by the disease that is now slowly killing him and the demon inside him. She also knew that he may one day lose control of the demon that's inside him, but that is why she wants everyone to get close to him, so they can help him overcome his fear of losing control to the demon inside him and take control.

But, she knew that if she wanted it to happen, she needed her sister's help as well.

So with her silver eyes burning with determination, she walked straight towards her sister and got down to her level. Without a word, Ruby hugged her sister and just stayed like that. After a few minutes passed, Ruby let go of her sister and stared into her sister's eyes with a soft, warm, smile.

"Feeling better?" Ruby asked her older sister, who nodded her head slowly.

"Yea, thanks Ruby." said Yang, happy that she is glad to have such a wonderful younger sister like Ruby in her life.

"No problem! Tomorrow we will go see Ichigo and befriend him!" yelled Ruby, who started skipping towards the door and gesturing for her sister to come with her. With no choice left, Yang got up off of her bed and started walking towards the door and her sister while thinking, 'Maybe it won't be all that bad, I mean what's the worst that can happen, right?'

Beacon Academy, Med Bay
12:00 Noon

It took the medical staff of Beacon 2 hours to get Ichigo into stable condition. For some reason, they weren't able to get a pulse from him for awhile nor were they able to find out as to why his illness has come up. They had to use Dust to get Ichigo in stable condition since there is a lot of Dust inside of Ichigo when he got exposed to Dust years ago with mainly using the Air Dust. The medical staff also had to get another blood sample from Ichigo and try to figure out the best type of way of helping Ichigo with his condition.

The majority of the students were watching the medical staff do their best in attempt of getting Ichigo stable. Some worried that when his heart beat flatten for awhile such as Teams RWBY, JNPR, his own team and CFVY but there was only one team that wished he would had dropped dead and that would be Team CRDL when he shot Cardin Winchester in the head with his pistol. Cardin of course got into trouble along with his team from Miss Goodwitch herself when he said that and was Ichigo should immediately be sent to a holding cell but she decided to put Cardin and his team in one, which is very unexpected of Miss Goodwitch to do.

His team and the other teams that were worried over Ichigo, so they were put in charge of looking over him until he wakes up but for now, Ruby and Yang were watching over the unconscious orange haired student, both playing solitaire on the desk.

"So why did we get picked first to watch over Ichigo?" Yang questions her little sister as she places an 8 of hearts down.

"Because I think this might be a good way for you to at least know Ichigo's character." Ruby stated as she puts down a 2 of Clubs.

"Before he tried to kill us?" Yang retorted back at her little sister, "He's still walking on a very small line with me."

Ruby shakes her head and places down her cards, looking at her older sister, "You should give Ichigo a chance Yang." She then shows some old vids of Ichigo during his years in Signal, of course she had to get permission from Miss Goodwitch as she was in charge of Ichigo's private history.

She looks at the video on Ruby's scroll and sees Ichigo interacting with his old friends.

{Come on Kitana, get up.} Ichigo helps her up and whips off the sweat from his forehead.

{When did you ever cared about winning so much?} Kitana questions her best friend.

{Because I'm not going to be chewed out from Kayle when we don't win.}

Yang raises an eyebrow and looks at Ruby, "Was this suppose to change my mind Ruby?" She questions her little sister.

She looks at the scroll and quickly changes the video, "Oops. Wrong vid." She picked the right video on the scroll.

It showed Ichigo in his room from it looks like a couple of days ago, with Ichigo on his bed gripping his right forearm.

{Summer.} Yang was surprised to hear this from Ichigo. The name that he said out in the open was Summer Rose, Ruby's biological mother and Yang's stepmother. {Mind telling me on how can I try to get along with your oldest daughter?}

Yang raises an eyebrow since the vid shows Ichigo talking to himself but the thing that caught her eye was the blue aura surrounding his arm was now white.

{Yeah like that will happen. Hey I even said sorry for the accident a couple of days ago for something that was completely an accident.}

"You honestly think he's talking to your mother?" Yang questions her little sister.

"I...I think so." She wanted to believe that her mother is now inside Ichigo's right arm but she needs confirmation but she also didn't want make Yang doubt her, "I want to believe that my mom is in Ichigo and when I saw his eyes...his left eye looked like my moms."

Yang looks at her little sister baffled. She honestly didn't want to believe that Ichigo has their late mother residing inside his arm but with the sudden changes of Ichigo's appearance might change her mind.

{You're serious, right?} Ichigo asks Summer as his arm blinks twice, {Well if that means trying to become friends with her then fine. I will do a sparring match in hand-to-hand combat with her. Even though I might get my ass handed to me.}

Yang's eyes widen in shock that he was willing to do hand-to-hand combat with her. Only those who know her very well know that those who mad a bad impression on Yang will have to prove themselves to her in martial arts and after everything is settled, Yang is completely fine with them as friends of her.

"You should give Ichigo a chance Yang. He doesn't look like he's a bad person." Ruby then stands up and exits the room for a moment while Yang was alone with an unconscious Ichigo Kurosaki in the room.

Sighing, she had no choice but to stand up as well and takes a couple of steps forward to the unconscious male in the room. Looking at his monitors, everything is in stable condition and she places her hands on her hips.

"Looks like you got your match Ichigo. Just...don't die on me yet."

And that ends the chapter guys! Sorry for an almost 2 month hiatus as I was on a bit of a writer's block in terms of trying to get this chapter done and having the right ideas for this chapter especially.

Since I was on my hiatus, I was trying to figure out the best way for them to try to get along and that was a sparring match at the end of the chapter. Ruby will play a role for Yang and Ichigo's romance in the story since she wants them to be friends in the story.

For those of you who don't know, I made a sequel story called "Aftermath" which takes place a year after this story and you guys will get to read on his impact to the teams and his own as well and those he met. Each chapter will be under 1k words since I decided to make it like that and give small hints on what will happen in this story. Each character he is friends with and those who loved him will be 'haunted' by his own spirit. Some of them think he was killed where as others believe he is still alive and no I will not reveal his status in the story.

I hope to hear what you guys think of the chapter and as always, I'll talk to you all later.
