Hey readers, really have nothing to talk about so...ONTO REVIEWS...

Dilnos521: Thanks for the review. I understand this when you say that I'm following the canon story also reading your stories as well, then again you haven't read the rest of the chapters which has changed some parts where some events that occur in the canon is caused by Ekuro himself...which you probably read by the time this chapter comes up...

Chris: I get your idea of my character interacting with other characters but then again I'm still inexperienced and technically I'm just following the canon story-line by re-watching the video's, and for my character to seem a bit...boring, try and look through my profile, it has some things about my character. And about Ekuro knowing everything in the series...well in the beginning of the chapter he had mentioned saying "It's been a while since I watched it." it would mean he wouldn't fully remember everything in the series as well as him being unceremoniously chucked into the world of RWBY one month before episode one came up...just saying.

And so on to the next chapter we go...


Ekuro POV: Classroom...

Now seeing Weiss changed and ready with her rapier in the front of the class room about to go against a Grimm in the cage, I heard the rest of the team cheer on.

"Goooo Weiss!" Yang cheered Weiss.

"Fight well!" Blake cheered on as well, waving a small flag with RWBEY imprinted on the flag...when did she get that?

"You got this, Weiss!" I dismissed the thought and cheered for the hell of it.

"Yeah, represent Team RWBEY!" Ruby cheered Weiss the most.

"Ruby, I'm trying to focus!" Weiss scolded Ruby, harsh much?

"Oh, sorry," Ruby apologised.

"Alright, let the match..." Port announced, raising his blunderbuss-battle axe hybrid weapon.

"Begin!" Port finished his announcement, smashing the lock that's trapping the Grimm.

The Grimm that came out was a Boarbatusk, as I've read some information in a Grimm-ology book, basically a Boar with huge tusks and tough bone-like armour on the front.

The Boarbatusk was already charging at Weiss. Weiss slashed at the Boarbatusk's face plate as she side-stepped and barrel-rolled out of the way before facing the Boarbatusk again, rapier at the ready.

"Ha ah, wasn't expecting that were you?" Port commented on Weiss.

"Hang in there Weiss!" Ruby cheered out loud to Weiss.

Weiss charged at the Boarbatusk in high speed, aiming straight at its skull only to have her rapier trapped between the Boar's tusks and took a beating on her back. Weiss then flipped to the ground and struggled to get her rapier free.

"Hold your approach, I like it!" I heard Port comment again.

"Come on, Weiss, show him who's boss!" Ruby continued to cheer Weiss on.

This only irritated Weiss more and made her turn to glare at Ruby, letting her guard down. The Boarbatusk saw this and disarmed Weiss before ramming Weiss.

Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?" Port asked Weiss.

I noticed Weiss struggled to get up but rolled out of the Boarbatusk's way when it charged before dashing for her weapon.

"Weiss, go for its belly!" Ruby quickly informed Weiss, "There's no armour underneath-!"

"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss snapped at Ruby, interrupting her.

I saw Ruby look hurt after that.

"At least she's trying to be helpful..." I quietly said to myself.

The Boarbatusk jumped and turned into a ball, spinning rapidly and gained speed before launching at Weiss with great speed. Weiss summoned two glyphs, one in front of her and one behind her in the air.

The Boarbatusk smashed head first into the glyph Weiss created on her front, blocking the charge and pushed it back, exposing its belly.

Weiss then jumped on the glyph behind her and leaped off it in great speed, impaling the Boarbatusk into the belly with her rapier.

"Bravo, Bravo, it appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress-in-training," Port said as I looked at Weiss breathing heavily.

"I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings and stay vigilante, class dismissed," Port dismissed us.

I noticed Weiss glare towards Ruby before walking off.

Looking to my left I noticed Ruby already out of her seat.

"Where are you going, Ruby?" I asked Ruby.

"I need to talk to Weiss, don't worry, I'll be right back," Ruby told me before walking out of the door to look for Weiss.

"You're not going alone, Ruby," I quietly said, standing up from my seat and followed Ruby without being seen.


Academy Hallway...

I caught up with Ruby, turning around a corner, so I hid behind the corner, listening in the soon-to-be argument.

"Weiss!" Ruby called out.

"What?!" I heard Weiss yell out.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you being-"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you!? You're supposed to be a leader and all you've been so far is a nuisance!"

I heard Ruby scoffed before asking.

"What did I do?"

"That's just it! You've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest you acted like a child and you've only continued to do so."

"Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about working together? I thought you believed in acting as a team?"

"Not a team lead by you, Ekuro convinced me to help you anyways. I've studied and trained and quite frankly, I deserve better," Weiss said. I peaked and saw her turning her back on Ruby.

"Ozpin made a mistake," Weiss then said before walking off.

I looked behind myself to notice Ozpin, guessing that he heard the argument, I gestured Ozpin to Ruby indicating to talk to Ruby which he did so, seeing Ruby turn around to see Ozpin and I surprised her.

"Hmm, now that didn't seem to go very well," Ozpin started off.

"Is she right? Did you make a mistake?" Ruby asked the Headmaster.

"That remains to be seen."

"Ruby don't get those words get into your head, it'll only make it worse for your health," I told Ruby, patting her head before walking off to find Weiss.

It didn't take long to find Weiss since it was a few steps away from Ruby's conversation, so I could listen to both conversations.

"Professor Port!" I heard Weiss called out.

"Ah, Miss Schnee! And to what do I owe this fine pleasure?" I heard Port asked.

"I...I enjoyed your lecture!"

"Of course you did child, you have the blood of a true huntress in you!"

"You really think so?"

"Most surely."

There was a few seconds of silence before Ports started talking again.

"Hmm there's something troubling you."

"Yes sir..."

"Dear girl, confess to me your strife!"

"Well...I think I should've been the leader of Team RWBEY."

"...That's preposterous."

I looked back to Ruby and Ozpin who were talking to each other.

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked Ozpin.

"I mean it's only been one day. Ruby, I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet, but at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them, even Ekuro as well," Ozpin explained before he leaned towards Ruby.

"Do you?" he then asked.

I then heard Weiss yelled.

"Excuse me!"

"I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years and the man's never once had lead me astray," Professor Oobleck said to Weiss.

"So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?!"

"With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude."

"How dare you!"

"My point exactly. I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted."

"That's not even remotely true!"

There was a few seconds of silence before Weiss started again.

"Well, not entirely true..."

I looked back around once more to see Ozpin.

"Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into the battle, but a badge you wear constantly, if you were not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?"

"So the outcome did not fall in your favour. Do you really believe that acting in such a manner, would cause those in power to reconsider their decision?" I heard Port asked Weiss.

"So instead of fretting about what you don't have, savour what you do. Hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be not the best leader, but the best person you can be," I heard Port concluded to Weiss.

"You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility Ruby." I noticed Ozpin turn away from Ruby, "I advise you take some time to think how you will uphold it, or ask Ekuro for guidance," Ozpin also concluded to Ruby before walking away.

I then noticed Ruby walked passed me to see Weiss at the balcony with Port who is walking off before walking to her dorm as well.

"Hey, Ruby, I'll catch up with you later, okay?" I said to Ruby.

"Alright, Ekuro, see you at our room," she said before walking off.

I then walk out to the balcony to see Weiss who doesn't seem to be convinced by Port's words.

"Having trouble there, Weiss?" I called out, walking up to her.

She turned around to look at me with a ticked off face.

"How can they believe Ruby is a capable team leader?!" Weiss complained, yelling at me.

"Weiss calm down," I told her, putting both of my hands in front of me.

"Calm down?! How can I with Ruby being team leader, you're the co-leader, talk some sense to the Headmaster!" Weiss continued to yell which I in turn slowly irritated me.

"*Sigh* Weiss, even if there was a way, I do not have the intention to appoint a new leader."

"How can you even think that she's capable of being a leader?!"

"Because I can see her capable as a leader."

"All I see is her being an ignorant child!" Weiss screamed.

"YOU'RE THE ONE BEING THE IGNORANT CHILD, WEISS!" I snapped, scaring Weiss in the process.

I took a deep breath, calming myself down before I looked Weiss straight in the eye.

"Look, I know Ruby is acting childish at the moment, but even then, there is no leader with out a flaw in them.

"But I'm more capable of being a lead-!"

"It's not about being a capable leader, Weiss, it's about the leaders trust. A leader always put themselves over their teammates, no matter the circumstances.

"And how would you know that?"

"I know because I was once a leader of a team, Weiss. It's not just a title you carry and use, it's a serious responsibility a leader carries by themselves, especially if a teammate were to die in their command."

I noticed Weiss looked away from me.

"Weiss, I can see that you're capable of becoming a leader, but Ruby is far more capable," I explained to Weiss. "On the day of the initiation, who's idea was it to take down the Nevermore?"

"...It was Ruby's idea..." Weiss quietly mumbled.

"Do you see what I mean that Ruby a capable team leader?" I then said, walking next to her and laid my right hand on her shoulder.

"Try not to go hard on her, Weiss. We all need time to prove ourselves to be our best, and sorry for snapping at you like that," I apologised to Weiss and walked away, not before I stopped and turned my head to the side, "also, as Professor Port had said, 'Be not the best leader, but the best person you can be.' I learned that the hard way," I said before walking away.


Beacon Hallways...

I never thought being in an academy would be this tiring, well at least I get to start a new life here...

I walked around the dorms to see Ozpin again so I walked up to him.

"Evening, Headmaster," I greeted him.

"You don't have to be formal, Ekuro, you can just call me Ozpin," he asked me.

"Sorry, I have a habit on being respectful to those I think deserve to be respected."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah..."

After a few seconds of silence, I asked.

"...Hey, Ozpin, why did you put me in Team RWBEY out of the other teams?"

"Well, for one, I consider you and Ruby as...special, so I put you two together. And second, you come from another world which is something you wouldn't know every day," Ozpin responded.

"Right...is there any other reasons for doing so, something related to the old bear?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out. Now, hurry along to your dorm, you wouldn't want Glynda catching you at this time."

Alright then...have a nice night, Ozpin."

"To you as well, Ekuro."


Beacon Dorms...

After changing into my pair of pajamas, which is still the same thing I wore in the ballroom, I headed towards the team dorm room only to see the door slightly opened, also hearing Ruby wake up. Instead of walking in, I leaned my back on the wall next to the door and listened.

"WEISS I-I was studying and then I fell asleep, I'm sorry," I heard Ruby apologised in a fright.

There was a bit of silence then I heard Weiss ask Ruby.

"How do you take your coffee?"

"I-I don't-"

"Answer the question!"

"Ah cream and five sugars!"

"*Sigh* Don't move."

After a few more quiet seconds, I heard more talking.

"Here," I heard Weiss offered.

"Um...thanks Weiss," I Ruby thanked.

"...Ruby, I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have," I heard Weiss then announced, which a smile slowly crept up my mouth.

"Good luck studying...that's wrong by the way," I then heard Weiss then say, causing me to snicker quietly.

I then noticed Weiss at the door, looking into the room.

"Hey Ruby," Weiss called out.

"Huh?" I heard Ruby reply.

"I always wanted bunk beds as a kid," Weiss said before closing the door.

"Wasn't so hard to admit it, right?" I asked Weiss, surprising her.

"Gah!" she said in fright before tripping over herself.

Before she even fell onto the ground, I caught her with my left arm around her waist.

"You okay there, princess?" I cheekily asked.

She only looked at me in silence before realising her position she was in, pushing me away and stood back up.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine..." she assured me.

"Whatever you say, Weiss."

"Hey, Ekuro?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you still wearing the same clothes from yesterday and the day before?"

"Oh, um...I...uh I...don't have any other clothing..."

"What? Why didn't you buy any clothing?"

"Because...I didn't have the time?"

"*Sigh* We're going to need to give you a new set of clothing."

"What?"

"Since tomorrow is the weekends, you are going to meet me down Vale to get you some proper clothes to sleep in."

"Okay...why exactly are you doing this?"

"Because we're teammates..." Weiss mumbled, looking away from me, "It's what teammates do, right?"

"...Sure, I'll bite, I'll accept your invitation to Vale, good night, Weiss," I answered her before opening the door to the dorm and went inside.


And so we're done, how is it now...Good? Bad? Meh? Well next chapter were going to delay the story-line a bit since I know that the next episode occurs weeks after episode 11. Also...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :P
