(Seems it's numero diez for this fic, time to introduce she who must not be seen for RWBY along with other things)

Bitter Fruit

After Cain and I's little meet and greet last night I slept like a rock. Waking up I felt groggy, mainly because it was before everyone else...Weiss and Uriah sound asleep, Roy and Ruby snoring as they slept, Silas and Blake back to back, and Yang having her face nearly buried into the pillow.

I look to the clock and see that it's five in the morning. Still gives me more time to do things, let's do so.

I head into the bathroom with my bag in hand and take a shower, the warm water starting to snap me out of my slow funk and into a state of readiness. It takes five minutes before I'm out and clean and throw on my uniform. I throw my pajamas into my bag, putting my scroll in my pocket and head back and throw the bag at the desk

"Ahhh, morning Lind." I hear Cheshire yawn, "Hey Chesh. How'd you sleep?" I ask popping my back. "Slept well, the carpet feels nicer than the grass...say. Are you ever going to ask Ozpin about me? Or are you just going to wing it and when I'm found get killed and you're all banned from all schools."

"Jeez I'm gonna do it, just don't get your panties in a twist." I mutter

"It's all I'm saying. So what're you doing?" He asks curiously floating next to me, "Got up early...might as well just spend a bit of time just doing whatever until class gets started." I reply, "I see. I'll be sure to tell your teammates, comrades and girlfriend about it." I nearly choke when he says that

"G-G-Girlfriend?" I stutter out to him, "I believe it's miss Xiao Long." He says grinning. I put my hand over his mouth and pin him down. "You keep your mouth shut. Got it? And she's not my girlfriend." I sternly tell him before he nods. I pull my hand away from him and he merely chuckles

"I'm not going to share. You're my master slash friend...secret's safe with me."

I smile and pet the little bastard like what he is getting a purr from him. "Good Grimm. Now I'll be off for now." I say opening up the door, "see ya."

"Bye." He waves laying on the table.

I close the door on my way out and yawn.

"Good morning." I hear a familiar voice chime, I look and see Pyrrha in uniform smiling brightly. "Oh, hey Pyrrha. What're you doing up right now?" I ask scratching my cheek. "I would guess the same as you...getting up early to do a few things before classes get started." Saw right through me. Clever girl.

"Yep. That be it, mind if I tag along for a bit?" I ask, she gives a nod. "Not at all. Where are you heading to?" She asks

Where should I go? Hmmm...library? Library

"I'm heading to the library. I'm a fan of history and fiction, you know?" I tell her, she merely tilts her head in curiosity

"Why's that?"

I sadden a bit at that...time for me to tell. "The mistakes of the past...shouldn't be repeated." I say solemnly causing Pyrrha to frown. "Oh..."

I head over to her and pat her shoulder, "Hey. Come on no being down, you did nothing wrong." I say smiling at her. "So! To the library."

5:20

Having spent fifteen minutes making our way to the library we make it to the room and open up the door, finding place filled with tall bookcases and tables lined with chairs. No librarian here at the moment, perfect.

"Well here we are." I say heading over to one of the bookshelves and pulling out a white book with it's title written in gold lettering:

A HISTORY OF FAUNUS AND HUMANS

I shrug and take a seat at one of the tables with Pyrrha joining shortly afterwards. "So," she starts sitting at the seat across from mine, "What are you reading there?"

"A book about the Faunus...the poor people." I mutter softly, "Always being handed the short end of the stick."

"It's sad how they've been mistreated." She says sadly.

"But let's talk about something...less depressing." I say closing the book and leaning in, "How's the past few days been for you?" I ask her

"It's been going well. My teammates and I get along well, and our leader is...quite nice." She says a bit nervously toward the end rubbing the back of her neck.

Wait. Ohoho my God

"Do you like Jaune?" I ask curiously earning a squint from Pyrrha, "I like him." She says casually

"Do you like like him?" I ask again with a mischievous grin, she blushes a bit and blinks her eyes. "Umm...I...yes." She admits embarrassed having been found out. I smile warmly and give her a reassuring pat on the arm

"Hey. I'm not judging you, love who you love." I say firmly, Pyrrha's expression lightens up as she sighs in relief

"Thank you." She replies smiling

"Don't mention it. I have another question for you now."

"And that is?"

"What can you tell me about yourself?" I ask her, she seems to shrink a bit at the question before shrugging.

"Well...I guess you could say I was the golden girl." She starts up waving a hand, "I lived in Mistral for a good part of my life," Ah yes, Mistral. Qrow told me about that place, said to be swampy and filled with...unsavory people "My mother was a Huntress while my father stayed home to take care of me, he always told me that everyone has some worth. And my mother always said that I was one of the best things that ever happened to her." I smile at her

"They sound like good people." She smiles warmly and closes her eyes, "They are. They are..." She trails off for a moment before snapping back into reality.

"My mother retired when I turned six and wanting to follow in her footsteps I enrolled at Sanctum Academy, my mother handing down to me her weapons; her spear Miló, and her shield Akoúo̱. During those days I was determined to do the best of my ability, I was good in school and was sure to complete all my assignments. I was nominated to battle in the Mistral Regional Tournament."

I nod and tilt my head to the side. "How'd that turn out for you?"

"I was champion for four years in a row." She answers, I whistle to that answer, four time tournament champion? "That's impressive." I say astonished. "Mhm, after winning I was mascot for Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes."

I groan, had the cereal once...not entirely good.

"Gross. The stuff is more sugar than wheat." I say a bit disgusted

Pyrrha sighs, "Yes. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you. "

"I'm sorry someone as good as you was associated with something so awful." I say empathetically, she laughs a bit and shakes her head. "No! No! It's fine, it was pretty cool to be on the box. Now where was I now?"

"You stopped at Mistral Regional Tournament champ four years in a row." I state

"Right. When I turned seventeen I graduated at the top of my class, and then decided to enroll here at Beacon, I came to Patch to catch one of the airships-"

"And you and I met with one another." I say smiling remembering when we bumped into one another, "It's been good having to meet you Pyrrha...you're pretty cool."

"Thank you, I enjoy our time together as well. Good friends." She says smiling

Wait. I just remembered something

"Pyrrha what time is it?" I ask quickly, she turns to a clock and gasps. "It's six right now!"

"BREAKFAST IS STARTING! WE NEED TO HURRY UP!" I yell out grabbing and start running with Pyrrha right beside me.

Time flies when you're having fun, huh?

The Dining Hall, five minutes later

Having ran like the wind Pyrrha and I arrive right into the line panting, grabbing our trays and grabbing food. Pyrrha getting oatmeal, with me getting bacon and eggs. Trudging over to the usual spot I sit next to Silas who seems to be eating merely toast this morning.

"You and Pyrrha look like you just ran down here." He states "What happened?"

I glare at him and tell him sternly "We did." He looks at me for a moment before shrugging, "Yeah oh well. Cheshire told that you got up early, wasn't expecting Pyrrha was like that too."

"Meh, helps get some things done before everyone else is ready. So who all has professor Peach today?" I ask around raising my hand up. The others who raise their hand are...everyone sitting there "Anyone know anything about Peach's class by the way?" Uriah asks, "I think it's about...something training." Blake adds in before munching on some waffles.

"Well that's both helpful yet vague, not like this school is for training or anything." I chide earning an eye roll from Blake, "Not like any of us had her yet." She adds back. "True, so what will she be like I wonder." I ponder aloud. "She'll probably beat Port's teaching by a mile." Ruby adds in

I smile at her, "Anyone and Anything could do it easily."

After breakfast, 8:50

Breakfast was fine all in all; oddly enough Nora was a bit calm, Uriah and Weiss hit it off well better than yesterday, overall a fine morning. Now onto the class of the day, I've been heading down the hallway to find Peach's class

I see a doorway soon enough with the name of the class on top of the doorframe and the teacher's name a bit bellow it

HUNTSMEN SURVIVAL TACTICS

AMBERLY PEACH

Yep. This is the place. I head inside and see that the room is set up much the same like Port's class room, except with a few noticeable differences;

There's a tent set up in the back of the room, shelves with various jars full of stuff with tape written on them, a taxidermic beowolf, and a few small trees planted near the desk. I look back to the desks and see my teammates, and Teams RWBY and JNPR just as they mentioned they'd be in this class. But in another row...an old problem

Cardin. And his cronies; Russel, Sky and Dove

Their leader leaning back in his chair with his feet propped up on the desk, smug prick. I take a seat next to Jaune before the bell rings and the door closes behind.

Standing near the door is a woman in her thirties dressed in a military uniform, pinkish-orange bob cut hair, at her side is a knife. She does not seem particularly happy at the moment with her sharp brown eyes glaring at everyone.

All in the room are silent, the woman takes a stand in the middle of the room with her hands behind her back. She seems to take a deep breath before speaking, "Good morning class." She says with a calm smooth tone in her voice, "I am Professor Peach, and before we begin I would like to say something." She says in a low tone

"I put in an order to Ozpin to send me a shitload of badasses and fight-hungry murder machines. Instead all I got was you cupcake cockclowns and a side order of fucknuggets." She angrily shouts out, everyone in the room is shocked...holy shit I love this teacher already! "I can tell at a glance that at least half of you are cocksuckers, and the other half are cocksuckers who've never been told to believe in themselves. I'm going to shove my boot so far and fast up your assholes it'll trigger a geological event. You all reek of poverty and animal abuse. Every breath you take is a stunning endorsement of abortion. You shitstains are a collective masterpiece of failure. You cockgoblins circle jerk each other to exhaustion every night. You signed up to get pounded by the Grimm and probably cried like sissies when you realized they actually don't have dicks. Your sensitive pussies cry so many tears you could float away on a river of douche canoes. You glitter-toed, cock-wrangling fairytinkle fagpuffin fuckpuppets are gonna get your collective anal cavities stretched so far apart you'll think you were getting Goliaths shoved up your ass! I will reorganize the failure that is all of your lives! I will FUCKSTART your souls! I'll make you mongoloid rock-chomping thundercunts scream harder than your mothers after her fourth failed coathanger abortion. I'm going to chop off your shriveled balls, put them where your eyes should be, put a sombrero on your head and beat you like a pinata. Hell I'll make you shit so many bricks you'll put the Vacuians out of buisness. But fear NOT! Because in four years, I will turn you cock monarchs into fuckmasters of galactic destruction!"

Everyone was silent with shock, and I was just giddy as can be for whatever reason. She smiles softly, "That being said let's get started!" She happily says a lot calmer now. "WOOOOOOOO! YEAAAAAAAH!" I call out laughing earning looks of utter horror from the class.

"Glad to see one of you is excited, and relax I give the same speech to every first class of mine in the year." She casually mentions, Jaune pulls me down and whispers to me, "Dude. Are you nuts?! She's just called us all failures, why are you laughing this off?" He asks a bit mortified which I reply with a shrug, "Hey. You heard her, she gives the same speech to every other student in for the first year."

"Yeah! But she-"

"Mr. Arc!" She happily calls out, "And Mr. Lind! Since you two are talking currently, what are the four seasonal areas of Remnant?" She asks quickly. Jaune starts to give uhhs

"The Emerald Forest for Spring...the Forest of Forever Fall for, well...Fall. Aaaand..." He looks at me and nudges

"The Tundra of Zero for Winter. And the Plains of Ease for Summer." I finish Jaune who sighs and gives a nervous smile at me.

"Well. Seems you two are more knowledgeable than I intended." She says a bit impressed

"I could've answered it no problem, it's just that Jauney boy and Axident there were just lucky." Cardin adds in condescendingly. Peach rushes over to him, glaring at him. "And just who the fuck are you twinkletoes?" She asks dangerously

Cardin looks at her with a smug grin on his face, "The names Cardin. Car-"

"HEADBUTT!" Peach yells out smashing her forehead right into Cardin's causing him to fall out of his seat, everyone laughing at him. He groans out something in pain, "What...the...Hell..."

"Now you listen to me and you listen good; whenever you're out in the field you'll realize the Grimm are a bunch of FREAKS! So when you're out there facing of against an Ursa hopped up on blood-lust, psychotic murder rage, hunger for sweets and fuckthunder, and when I yell out headbutt. YOU! HAUL! ASS!" she snaps as he groggily gets back up into his seat before Peach heads back to her desk.

"So, what substance can you find in the forest of Forever Fall that is edible?" She asks before pointing at Pyrrha who has her hand raised, "Pyrrha Nikos! For two hundred!"

"The sap of the forest's trees." The red-headed amazon states earning a nod from Peach, "Correcto. The sap from the trees is a red, sweet and syrupy substance that is edible as mentioned before." She says before pointing a finger upwards, "However! There have been cases of allergic reactions that range from mild itchiness to breakouts of hives and swelling."

"Why am I telling you this, you might be asking. Because after next week you will be taking a field trip into the forest with Professor Goodwitch. There you will collect a jar's worth of the stuff, and coming back here we will study what other properties that it has besides being a tasty snack or something to spread on your food." She says smiling

"WOOOOOOOO!" Nora cheers out pumping up a fist before having it going into a full blown punching fury at the air, others mainly whispering to one another. The bell rings and students start getting up to leave. "And remember!" Peach calls out, "Be prepared. For. Anything! I know I am!" She chimes

I was one of the last people out, Peach heading out with the Students presumably to get some fresh air. I see Cardin click on Jaune's sheath and with a mechanical whir it spreads out into a shield. The giant knight getting juuust out and 'forgetting' to help out Jaune as he grunts pulling on his shield. "Oh come on...!" He yells out frustrated

Poor guy can't catch a break, eh?

I head over to him and give a tap on the shoulder. He turns, blue eyes looking right at me. "Oh, hey Axel." He says a bit sadly, I gesture to the Shield "Yooou want me to help get it out?" He turns to his family heirloom of a defense for a moment, turning back to me he nods. I smile and grab onto one part of it with Jaune grabbing ahold the other.

"Alright. One. Two. Three!" I call out, we then start to grunt and pull on the shield before it comes out of the doorframe. Jaune takes the shield in hand, clicking it back to a sheath and putting it back on his hip. "Thanks Axel," he tells me

"Don't mention it Jaune, it's what I do." I casually state

"No really, thanks; you're one of the main three of people helping me out here at the academy. The other two being Ruby and Pyrrha." He says smiling nervously

Don't worry Jaune, Pyrrha is helping for more than just out of friendship. I put a hand on his shoulder smiling at him

"Jaune, you know my team will help out. Ruby's team and your team to, you just say the word and we'll all pitch in some what or just one of us depending on how you want it to go." I firmly tell him, he smiles at more of an ease now

"Thank you Axel."

"Hey, what are friends for eh? For me; my friends will get my help like it or not. Because I care." I tell him chuckling, the dorky kid brushes my arm off of his shoulder and nods his way out of to the hall, "C'mon. We still have some time before the next class of the day, let's hang out!" He says happily.

What the hell am I right?

"Yeah, sure. Sounds fun." I tell him casually. He nods and the two of us walk outside, out of the corner of my eye I see something.

Looking down the hall I see some weird thing; a six foot tall lavender-colored barrel thing with long appendages on it's top and bottom, the top having five tubes and five stalks with eyes on them...all looking at me, it's lower appendages spread out...they seem like legs, it also has six leathery bat-like wings on it's back folded up, and six tentacle-like arms that branch out into five hands with twiggy fingers.

It doesn't seem to be hostile at all, rather...friendly.

That book or Cain better tell me what the hell this thing is.

"Axel?" I hear Jaune ask my name, I turn to him with an eyebrow raised. "You alright? You seem...a bit out of it right for the moment."

"Oh. No worrying about me Jaune I'm fine, l-let's just get going...alright?" I ask him, "Alright man. Let's go." He turns his back and starts walking away, I turn back to see the thing is gone

I shake my head in frustration and growl silently before jogging to catch up to Jaune.

Things are getting stranger day by day. Some bad...but most good.

(There you have it, Professor Peach revealed! And for the thing at the end, you'll learn more later. How much later? Pretty later. So with that, remember to review it. Share with friends, all that jazz. And hey look fastest time for publishing a chapter.

Yay me.)
