I had to write this, it's earlier than I planned, but I had to do it. Enjoy~
A large yawn showed how bored Ari was in, what her rider calls 'Emerald Forest'. It's been a few days since Ruby made it two years early into Beacon academy and the red eyed nightfury had to migrate to the 'dangerous' forest. Nothing entertaining happened since Team RWBY was formed.
'I'm sooooooooooooo boredddddddd' the black dragoness stretched out her legs and wings, but jumped high into a tree when rustling was heard in the nearby bushes.
"You guys will love her, I promise!" Ruby's voice was heard through the female nightfury's earplates.
'Ohh yea, I'm supposed to meet her team today' Ari remembered.
"Ari! Come here girl!" the red eyed nightfury excitedly jumped out of her tree and cooed at her rider. Only for her pupils to turn to slits and go into a defencive stance when the three girls pointed sharp weapons at her. "Oh! There you are" Ruby hugged Ari, causing the dragon to immediately relax and nuzzled her rider with a purr.
"THAT is the Ari you wouldn't stop talking about?!" the human that fit Ruby's description of Weiss yelled.
'Aww~ you couldn't stop talking about me?' the red eyed nightfury cooed at her rider, these humans won't hurt her with the red loving huntress hugging her.
"Did that thing just talk?!" Blake stared wide eyed at Ari and everyone else.
'You can understand me?' the black dragoness slowly walked towards the book reading human. 'You smell of cat' Ari walked around the 'human' and smelled her. 'It is rare to find a human that can understand the language of dragons'
"What is the language of dragons?" Blake followed the curious nightfury circling her with her eyes, the others watched with interest.
'All dragons speak it… unless they have gone feral' Ari stopped circling the teen and troted back to Ruby, before turning her red eyed gaze to the other two humans.
"You can understand this beast?" Weiss asked her teammate, while earning a loud growl from said 'beast'.
"Apparently"
"Awesome! My partner can understand dragons!" Yang laughed and gave Blake a one armed hug.
'So you are the Yang the my rider always speaks highly of' Ari walked over to the blond bombshell and sniffed her.
"What'd she say?"
"Ruby speaks highly of you to her"
"Aww~ Thanks sis!" the female nightfury turned her eyes to the 'Ice Queen', who unlike the others still had her weapon in her hand.
'Put away your weapon human, it is rude to point a sword at someone who has no intention of raising a claw to you' Ari growled softly.
"She wants you to put your weapon away, saying it's rude" Blake chuckled.
"I don't care! I'm not letting the beast near me" the heiress crossed her arms.
'I thought you said she can be nice' the red eyed nightfury turned to her rider, who apparently could tell what she meant.
"I did say it takes a while for her to get use to someone, like you when we first met" Ruby explained, Ari snorted as a sweet scent filled her sensitive nose.
The black dragoness perked up and sat in front of her rider, panting and wagging her long tail like a dog.
"I was hoping they would be a surprise" the leader of RWBY pulled out a few cookies and fed them to the nightfury, who eagerly licked them up and purred.
"I see how you guys bonded now" Yang laughed.
"That and Ari acts like a cat most of the time" Ruby started to scratched the mighty nightfury behind an earplate.
'I...am a nightfury… the offspring of… lightning and death… itself' Ari purred in bliss. 'The fastest… and… most powerful… dragon in the world… I am no… OH DRAGO THIS FEELS GOOD!' the red eyed dragoness purred so loudly it could cause an earthquake.
"Um, Ruby are you sure Ari is tamed?" Blake gave a slightly uneasy look at the black nightfury.
"Yea, why?" the 'human' explained what she just heard. "Okay, I have seen her fight (and she is awesome) but Ari is an absolute sweetheart" the red loving teen stopped her scratches, earning a small whine from the red eyed nightfury.
"If you say so Rubes…" Yang looked at Ari in the eye. "You better not hurt my sister"
'I would never hurt my rider!' the black dragoness growled defensively.
"She just called you her rider" the bow wearing 'human' reported.
"Well… we haven't flew together yet so I don't understand that" Ruby nervously put a hand on the saddle, causing the others to realize it's there. "Ari wants me to, but… I haven't gained the courage to fly yet" the teen scratched the back of her head.
'I can wait until you feel ready for a century, rider' Ari nuzzled the leader's leg with a purr.
'Whatever makes you happy'
