It's been a while, hasn't it? That's probably because I was feeling lazy, or maybe this one is really good. I don't know, you guys decide by leaving what you think in a review. Anyways, enjoy! :D


-Kurotsubana-

Darn...I woke up late...I hope Patricia got up in time, at least... Well, I remember needing to meet at the big cliff over-looking the emerald forest, I'll go there and see what happens...

He started to make his way to the cliff, starving, obviously, he'd had no breakfast or some kind of morning meal. That definitely slowed him down. He made it to the cliff with time to spare, apparently, so he ran over to one of the stone blocks that were lined up and stood on it as he saw other people doing.

Ozpin then started giving instructions as Kuro saw Patricia sprint up towards the last stone block and seem to ready herself to be launched. So, naturally, he copied her and prepared himself to be launched in the air. Shoot...I have no idea how to fly...Or at least how to control myself while flying...This is going to be quite the ride...

He then realized just how much strength you had to have in your legs when you are suddenly flung into the air. Luckily, he managed to gain altitude without his legs collapsing beneath him. He looked around him hoping to get an idea on how to fly, noticing that either they would tuck their arms closely to their sides and keep their legs together, or spread out their arms and legs in an attempt to slow their decent. Kuro decided to tuck in his arms and legs since it seemed more exhilarating...That's when he knew he'd messed up.

As Kuro picked up speed, he realized he didn't know how to navigate or slow himself down. Shoot...I should have thought this through...How do I dodge people?! He learned very quickly that it didn't matter whether or not you could dodge people, it mattered who you ran into. Kuro looked straight ahead in the direction he was going just in time to notice a large black cape smash into his face.

"Aghh!" The cape yelled in pain and anger, probably more anger than pain. "Why did you do that?!" Suddenly, they started descending in what felt like a wide circle to Kuro, he wasn't sure if it was controlled, or if they had started a free-fall... Kuro didn't care, he held on to the cape for dear life, hoping it would save him somehow. From what he could tell as they haphazardly fell towards the forest floor, there were trees flying by then harmlessly and it was really hard to hold on to the cape since it had an interesting way of falling down sharply, then rising up and catching air.

Finally, they reached the forest floor and Kuro looked up to see the face of the person who saved him.

"Thank- It's you!" Kuro exclaimed, wide-eyed in surprise. "The bird kid from all those years ago who ate my dinner..."

The bird kid cocked his head in confusion and said "I think you have the wrong person, I am not a bird kid."

"S-sorry, my bad. Well, My name is Kurotsubana, what's yours?"

"I'd rather keep that to myself when talking to the guy who almost got us killed."

"But you're the first person I have had eye-contact with since being launched into the air, doesn't that mean we're going to be partners in the same team for the next four years?"

"You don't have to perfectly abide by the rules, but since I respect the guy in charge, my name is Tenshii."

"That's an interesting name. Shall we make our way to the ruins, or whatever they are? I'm pretty sure that's where Ozpin said we would find the relics."

"Sure... I guess..." Tenshii replied, unsure. They set out to where the thought the ruins might be located in hopes that they would get there without much trouble. Much to their dismay, on their way to the ruins, they ran into a large group of various grimm that appeared to be chasing after someone. Completely ignoring the fact that there were two people just standing in shock right next to them, not moving. Easy prey to catch, right there, not fighting back, or running away!

Seeing how the grimm weren't attacking them, Kuro thought it would be a brilliant idea to try to attack them without catching their attention...Bad idea... Not only did he get the grimm to notice him, he got them annoyed. Most of them turned to face him at that moment and went after him, kuro would have died had Tenshii not decided it was time to spread his wings and fly- taking Kuro with him, of course.

"Gahh!" Kuro heard Tenshi gasp in pain as a woosh of air flew past his ears. Kuro started to panic, thinking something was wrong. "You idiot! Don't you dare move or I'll drop you, carrying you is as painful as it is already. If you wriggle anymore, I won't care if you die!" Tenshii threatened. Kuro got the message and stopped moving, trying to relax but he couldn't. Suddenly being able to fly like a bird is exhilarating, put that on top of a near death experience and it's even harder to relax. Somehow, Kuro managed to relax, but just barely.

"Thanks for not moving anymore, the ride should be fairly smooth from here to the ruins-" But just as Tenshii had finished saying that, a nevermore decided that was the time to strike, going straight for the middle of Tenshii's left wing.

"Wahhh!" Kuro screamed in surprise as Tenshii took a barrel-roll to the right to dodge the nevermore. "I thought you said this was going to be a smooth ride!"

"It was, until the nevermore decided to kill me! I'll have to try to lose it or make uninterested in us anymore! Our best bet though, is to land back of the ground and hide in a tree or something for a while!"

"Okay! Land in that tree over there!" Kuro agreed, pointing to a particularly large and thick tree to their left on the ground.

Tenshii adjusted his course and began to land over in the tree. "Kuro, it's going to be a rough landing!"

"Why?!"

"I've never flown with someone before!"

"Why didn't you think about that before picking me up?!"

"Would you hav expected an emergency landing caused by a nevermore?!"

"Poi-" Kuro was cut off when they smashed into the tree, painfully. "Owww..." But he wasn't able to say anything more when his vision blacked out.


"-ro! Kuro!" Kuro heard a female voice as he woke up.

"Mom...? Am I... Dead...?"

"Good, he's regained consciousness." Kuro heard a very familiar and official voice.

"Oz...Pin...? You're dead... Too...?"

"Heh heh, no. You're alive. You were out for a few days though." Ozpin chuckled.

Kuro sat up and saw Patricia, Tenshii, Ozpin and another girl sitting around his bed.

"You're lucky bird boy was there to catch you when you fell." Patricia explained. "He said he carried you to the ruins and grabbed an artifact and then he flew you straight to where we were meeting. It was quite comical when he dragged you up on stage as Ozpin was announcing the teams."

"...What team am I on?" Kuro asked.

"You're on team KMPT (krumpet), you, Marron, Patricia, and Tenshii. You're the captain." Ozpin said.

"Welcome aboard capin'!" Patricia playfully slapped him on the shoulder. Kuro face-planted into the bed. "Oops, guess I used a bit too much strength."

"Hahah. Capin' over here needs his rest, you guys go set up you're dorm room, I'll send him over to you later." Ozpin ordered.

Patricia and Marron left the room, but Tenshii stayed behind with a face that looked like it wanted to talk to me.


That's All Folks! Come back again soon to see the next chapter. Please tell me what you think of it in a review or pm, it would be nice. I have no idea when the next chapter will be finished and posted.
