Guess what, it's another update. Yipee!

Look, I'm not sure if you guys have figured it out yet, but my updates for all of my stories are completely irregular. I'm sorry, but with school and football, I'm completely swamped most of the time and I don't have the leisure of frequent updates like I used to. I hope you can understand and bear with me, I'm trying the best I can. With that said, I'm touched when a reader asks if I plan to update anytime soon. That simply means I've done my job well and you guys are interested in what I have to say, so THANK YOU!

Now with that out of the way, on to the story.

Previously...

"Who's Salem?"

Ozpin was the picture of calm at Ruby's innocent question. He was a rather smart man, and had easily deduced the fact that most of the secrets he had hoped to have kept hidden from the novice team at this point, would be revealed. He had expected it and had reluctantly accepted it. Perhaps with inside knowledge of how their enemies worked, then the inclusion of Team RWBY into his plans could prove redundant and the girls could be avoided to live their lives as they should... peacefully.

Or rather, as peaceful as you can get in a world filled with man-eating creatures of darkness.

Beside him, Glynda fidgeted slightly. She had made her stance known on his plans revolving the girls and would no doubt try her best to keep them away from the front lines as long as possible. And with the unintentional reference to Salem, that time might have expired on her already.

"Ah, Ms. Rose... Salem is, what you could possibly say, a acquaintance of mine. Our... connections are rather complicated at this point but I'm sure that the book will explain that in due time,"

He had hoped the vague answer would appease the girl and was pleased as the curiosity in her eyes were quelled for now. Oh he wasn't stupid enough to believe the girl had placed the question out of her mind. Oh no, quite the contrary! He could still see the determination of unearthing the truth in her eyes (just like her mother, he thought sadly) but the girl was mature enough to read the tension and realize that the question was one he was not ready to answer just as yet.

The girl proved to be surprisingly mature for her age.

The same could not be said for her sister however.

The blond seventeen year old girl was waggling her brows at her headmaster, a coy grin on her face. "An acquaintance eh? Professor you sly dog~" she cooed with a wink.

Ozpin did his best not to raise to the girl's bait, but couldn't hide the smallest of blush on his cheeks as he recalled her pedophilia comment. Since then, he could hardly look at any of the teens in the eye. It was much too embarrassing. No doubt about it, she was Taiyang's daughter all right.

"Perhaps it would be better if we read," Ozpin eased out stoically, refusing to look at the giggling teenagers.

"Of course sir," Glynda said. While most couldn't see it, he could make out the faint amusement in her eyes.

Blondes were oh so troublesome...

"Ah!?" Weiss gave a startled scream when Blake walked into Team RWBY's room with Naruto with her. Ruby jumped up as well, mostly because Weiss' scream nearly gave her a heart attack. Yang nearly ripped some of her hair out, she had been brushing her hair when Weiss screamed. All Blake had done was walk into the room with Naruto by her side, and it caused such a strong react out of Weiss.

Getting your ass handed to you by a murderous 13 year old boy, who not only easily beat her, but also an entire group of trained students, left a bad impression with her.

"God Weiss, what is wrong with... Oh..." Yang complained, before she stopped when she saw Naruto with Blake.

That was the right reaction.

Yang wasn't afraid of Naruto or anything, but she could still feel the ass-kicking she had gotten. It was a bitter pill for her to swallow the fact that a child kicked her ass, and she hadn't even been able to get in a clean hit. She couldn't even claim she got her hits in, when it had been one-sided. At the same time, Yang was understanding that Naruto had been in an enraged state of blind fury when he saw his dead friend. He had not been in his rational mind, and thus his mind hadn't been straight at that time.

That had been an enraged Naruto, not a calm one, which meant that so long as they didn't have to fight an enraged one again, she had no reason not to be friendly.

"Yeah, come on Weiss-cream, give the boy kid a chance first before you judge him. Sure he's younger than us, faster than us, stronger than us... " Yang trailed off, shifting uncomfortably at each point. "I- well- you know what I mean. He's relatively harmless now,"

Weiss huffed. "Harmless?! Should I remind you that he tried to kill us. And don't call me Weiss-cream!"

Pyrrha laid a soft hand on her shoulder. "I don't think he's bad at all Weiss. He had thought we killed his friend and he went into a blind rage. Our first impressions weren't the best so you shouldn't let that define your interactions with him," the spartan said, not noticing the look of betrayal on the Schnee's face. Out of everyone here, she had assumed that Pyrrha would have been on her side.

'He seems so depressed.' Yang thought to herself.

He lost a friend just today, there was no way he wasn't going to be depressed. He didn't understand much of their language, and he had no family to comfort him. He had nothing in the world, and he needed support.

"What is that beast doing here!?" Weiss nearly shouted from behind her bed.

"Weiss that's rude!" Ruby chastised.

"Be quiet you!"

"Beast? Oh... Hey Naruto..." Ruby waved awkwardly, seeing as Weiss was using her as a shield at the moment. Naruto waved back at her, and Weiss took this chance to reach for her sword on the ground. Blake's hand went to her weapon on the dresser, and she turned it into a gun and pointed it at Weiss at the same time as Weiss pointed her sword at Naruto, who just looked at the tip.

"Ms. Schnee! Ms. Belladonna!" Glynda was pissed, and if her weapon was still functional, then she would have undoubtedly showed them both how displeased she was. For now, she would settle with stern words and a withering glare. "Every year at this school, I've been forced to deal with a few students who believe themselves to be above the rules, yet I've never met a pair as hotheaded and insolent as you girls. It has been only a day since your inception at the Academy yet this happens! Be sure, when this reading is over, there will be consequences to pay!"

Both girls were equally cowed, both that didn't stop the glares they tossed in the other's direction. The message was clear between the two girls.

'This was not over!'

He didn't seem angry with Weiss for getting angry with him, or even wanting to hurt him for what he did to them. He was angry with himself for hurting them, to the point he felt as if he needed some punishment for it.

"Hey, I think we should all just calm down here. No reason to start off on a bad foot." Yang tried to play the part of the neutral party.

Blake didn't drop her weapon, and never did Weiss.

"Not until he leaves the room. I'm can't sleep with a monster around." Weiss stated as she looked at Naruto with both fear and a cold look in her eyes.

Blake pulled the trigger.

Ruby squeaked in fright and tried to hide within the confines of her red cape. The silver eyed girl might be a trigger-happy scythe prodigy, but violence against her fellow humans (and faunus. She wasn't racist) was something she could never condone.

Most of the other occupants faces ranged from paling shock to smothering anger.

Weiss was quick to temper, Blake's temper matching her own.

"You filthy degenerate animal. How dare- " Weiss' words were cut prematurely, as with a quick snap of his wrists, Ozpin had used his cane as a divider between the two girls. No one had even seen the man moved. One minute he was sitting down, reading the book. The next. his tall frame was in between the two angered girls.

"There will be no fighting within this room. Have I made myself clear!?" the headmaster barked, and both girls jumped slightly at the edge in his voice.

"Yes sir," they muttered fearfully.

An angry Ozpin was a scary Ozpin.

A bullet hole appeared in the wall behind Weiss, and Weiss stared at Blake with anger in her eyes.

"Don't call him a monster again, or I won't miss a second time." Blake warned Weiss. Naruto understood that word, she could see him wince the second that the word monster had passed Weiss' lips. She had seen how hurt that word had made Naruto. Weiss had really hurt Naruto with that word.

Naruto might have attacked them, but he was not in his right mind when he did it. He had been in a state of grief. That deserved some room for leniency.

"Yeah, you can't call people monster's Weiss." Ruby agreed with Blake on this one.

If her friend was killed, she knew she would go ballistic with grief.

"You ALL saw what he did, what he turned into!" Weiss defended her opinion. She would have nightmares about those red eyes, those sharp fangs, the flesh-ripping claws. That form Naruto had taken was a form made for murdering human and that terrified her.

"It does make for some sweet nightmare fuel though,"

"Noora,"

She was terrified at the thought of him going wild again, without anyone stopping him. He had taking down Pyrrha with ease, and she was just as strong as a trained huntsman. A tournament champion who defeated fully trained huntsmen and huntresses. Weiss had little doubt that if Naruto wanted them dead, and Blake wasn't around, they would be dead.

"You know when she explains it like that, it does make a lot of sense," Jaune commented, before squeaking in fright when Blake's amber eyes burned a hole through his skull.

"Shut up, we all know you're biased when it comes to Weiss," she spat, and Jaune's cheeks burned red.

"As if you're not bias, faunus!" Weiss was quick to point out and Blake once again regretted the fact their weapons were frozen. She would've probably retorted if not for the smothering glare she saw from the deputy headmistress. Blake wasn't stupid, she knew when to pick her battles.

"I... sorry." Naruto told Weiss.

She wasn't having any of it.

"I don't care if you are sorry, you tried to kill me." Weiss never dropped her sword even a fraction of an inch as she stared at Naruto. Blake didn't drop her weapon either, and both Ruby and Yang were trying to find a way to calm down both parties.

As much as Yang didn't like it, Weiss did have a valid reason for not liking Naruto, even being afraid of him.

"I don't care if he tried to kill you, but you're skill alive. Call him a monster again, and see how long you stay that way." Blake warned Weiss.

"You don't mean that, do you Blake?" Ruby asked from beneath her cape.

Blake sighed. "No, I don't." She had left the White Fang because of the killings. It would be hypocritical of her to do the same as those she had left behind. 'No matter how much I think they deserve it,'

Of course she wasn't going to kill Weiss, but she needed to make her point. She wasn't going to have Weiss, a Schnee, making Naruto feel any worse than he already did.

Everything that had happened was now starting to hit Naruto, and he needed support, not somebody insulting him, and calling him a monster.

"Ice... Very sorry." Naruto told Weiss, and she stared at him for a moment.

"Aww Renny. He's just so cute. Can I keep him? Can I? Can I? Can I?" the hyper Nora asked while bouncing in place on her seat. Ren hardly sent her a glance, instead the spied the prone form of the sleeping Naruto in the room. It would be a cruel thing to do, setting a rabid Nora on the unconscious boy... but it would give him a few moment of rest.

In the end, the answer came far too quickly.

"Of course, Nora. But only if you're good," Ren promised.

"YAY! 'Alien Ninja Fox' boy is mine!"

She hugged, and she stabbed her sword into the ground next to her bed. She rolled the Dust inside of it, and she formed a Glyph around her bed. Her entire bed moved so that it was touching the wall, right next to it and as far away from the other beds as possible. It was a loud movement, and she also moved the desk at the same time.

She was sleeping as far away from Naruto as possible.

Blake lowered her weapon, seeing as Weiss lowered her weapon first. She placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Phew, that was tense..." Ruby whispered under her breath. She held no hard feelings towards Naruto, but she understood where Weiss came from.

Naruto had been really scary, but you could see the sadness AND anger in his eyes when he attacked them, not just anger.

"My name is Weiss, not Ice." Weiss muttered under her breath.

"Cut him some slack. He speaks a different language, it's not like he was going to get our names right the first few times"

'Well fuck you too. He barely speaks out language, of course he won't get our names right the first few times.' Yang thought as she moved to the other side of the room. Weiss had taken the bed that Ruby had originally wanted to use.

The original plan was to go Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and then Yang in the order they used the beds, to make it easy to remember.

That plan got thrown out the window.

"Naruto... help-" Blake said as she motioned helping to Naruto, and she touched the bed and she motioned moving it. "Move Bed." Blake finished off for him, and Yang smiled a little. She was happy that Blake was taking to helping Naruto so well.

Somebody needed to be there for the little guy.

"That's a nice thing to do Blake," Pyrrha commented from her spot on the couch.

"So he really doesn't speak our language... weird." Ruby commented when Naruto helped Blake push the bed all the way to the other side of the room. It was on the exact opposite side of the room that Weiss was taking, and they moved the desk on that side of the room as well. Blake placed her hands on the bookshelf.

They needed to unpack tomorrow anyway.

All of the desks for studying were placed on the same wall as the door to the hallway. There was a lamp on each desk, for late night studying, though Blake doubted that Ruby or Yang would use the desks for their intended purposes.

"Just letting you know, no hard feelings between us. I'm going to want a rematch though." Yang told Naruto, despite him not understanding her, he was able to get her general vibe.

Her grin helped with that.

"Alright Yin." Naruto said, knowing the grin of challenge well enough that he could understand what she wanted to say to him. She seemed like she wanted a fight, and he would be glad to give it to her.

"Alright, now he's talking my language... or should I say 'Yang-uage'. Eh? Eh?" the blond jeered, yet received only a patented face-palm from her sister, a large thumbs down from Nora and a pained expression from Pyrrha.

"Oh come on, that was pure gold. You guys wouldn't know true comedy if it was a giant Ursa chasing you through a forest,"

"BOO!" Nora shouted.

"Yang, wrong side of the circle." Yang corrected Naruto with a twinkle in her hand, and he nodded his head. Naruto jumped onto the bed that Blake was sitting on, seeing as she was patting it for him to lay down with her. The bed was wide enough that two people, provided they were small or lean, could sleep on it together.

Naruto was small, and Blake was lean, so it worked itself out pretty well.

Naruto started to take the jumpsuit he was wearing off, he wondered when somebody had put his work-out suit on him? He had rarely worn it since he got it from Guy, but when he did he usually wore it when he was training by himself. Naruto stopped and looked towards the other girls, before he looked at one of the spare blankets.

Blake raised an eyebrow when Naruto took out two kunai from his pouch and grabbed the blanket, even Ruby and Yang watched Naruto.

They watched as he walked towards the wall.

"The shit!?" Yang shouted out in shock when Naruto walked up the side of the wall, and defied gravity itself.

Clones, Energy Manipulation, Clones, Wall Walking, Regeneration, that Demon Transformation thing, just WHAT was Naruto's Semblence!?

Ren's brow furrowed slightly as he watched Naruto defy the laws of physics. "Who's to say he even has a semblence," the boy commented, earning an inquiring look from most in the room. "He's from a different dimension. We've already realized that he doesn't have aura - or at the very least - his doesn't work the same way ours do. What if, in a trade-off, for more abilities, his 'aura' doesn't have the same defensive properties as ours," the magenta-eyed boy elaborated.

"Interesting," Ozpin said as he processed that theory.

Ruby raised a hand meekly, like a student in a classroom. "I don't understand what you just said. Can you make it simpler?"

Ren smiled. "Sure. You see, what if his power is less defensive... "

"And more offensive," The girl finished, beaming in understand. "I get it now!"

"That is SO cool!" Ruby gushed loudly as Naruto walked on the ceiling upside down. Naruto stabbed one end of the blanket into where the wall touched the ceiling, and then he walked further and flattened it out, and stabbed that end into the ceiling as well. Naruto dropped off the ceiling and landed on his feet.

He made a curtain next to the bed he and Blake were going to use, that way the others could change without worrying about him.

Naruto felt a hand ruffle his hair, and looked to see Blake smiling at him.

"That is very thoughtful of-" Blake started, before the curtain came down when Naruto accidentally stepped on the side of it. The kunai came out of the ceiling and stabbed into the floor. Blake paused, and Yang shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't really care, he is kind of young. Doubt he even knows about the birds and the bees." Yang mentioned with a teasing smirk on her face. Naruto didn't understand her, but he could see that smirk on her face.

"If he were a few years older I wouldn't have minded to give him a private lesson," Yang grinned lecherously.

It mocked him.

Naruto did not take to being mocked.

He was going to prank her.

A cold draft ran the length of her spine. Yang shivered. "Did you feel that?" she asked anyone on general.

"Feel what?"

"It felt like someone just danced on my grave,"

"You're so over dramatic,"

Tensions rise and tempers flair. I just love it all...

You know what to do.
