Hello, everyone. My name is Vindex, and I come with the 3 chapter of Little Yu! Less than 2 hours early then I'd said I would post it. I got a bit impatient, and I wanted to get this out fast. But first, let me address the elephant in the room... Volume 3's finale... How should I put this... Jess!
Jessica: It's a shitstorm the size of a Hurricane against a town made out of shit.
That's... Specific but not incorrect. When they said shit would hit the fan... It didn't just hit it, it broke the fan, hit the ceiling and came out the roof. So, in light of recent events in RWBY, I'm taking a small vacation. I'll explain more at the end of this chapter, but for now, just enjoy the reading.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Yang?" Blake asked as she and Yang left the dorms. "For all we know, he may not help us."
"I'm sure, Blake." Yang said as she adjusted her school bag with Yu currently hiding inside it. "He's the only other person who isn't tied down by classes."
They were currently on their way to talk to what Yang believes to be their only opinion in terms of what Ruby purposed. There was some debate on how they should take Yu, but settled on taking her the same way that they brought her into their dorm. It would be easier to explain if she was present.
Ruby and Weiss left to go grab the necessities required for Yu, mainly though a bed for Yu to sleep in. They'd go clothes shopping with Yu, but they don't have Yu's exact measurements yet, so that will have to wait until after Yang and Blake talked to him first.
Currently, they were walking across the campus to their destination while Yu looked through a small hole they made on the backpack to see the outside world. They told her to stay hidden, but so she could not panic at what's going on, they made the hole so she could look around. After some time, they made it to their destination: Beacon Tower.
"Headmaster Ozpin?" Blake said as she and Yang exited the elevator to his office. "Can we talk to you for a moment?"
Ozpin, who was previously in a conversation with Glynda present, turned to look at the Bumblebee partners.
"Yes, Ms. Belladonna. Is there something wrong?" Ozpin asked as he fixed his glasses.
"Umm... We were wondering if we could speak to you..." Yang said as she scratched her head. "In private..."
Ozpin's eyebrow rose up in curiosity, as did Glynda.
"Whatever you have to say to me, you can say with Glynda here as well." Ozpin said as Yang and Blake shared a look. "Is there something wrong?"
Yang thought about it for a while, before resigning and looking back to both administrators.
"Not exactly..." She explained. "We actually need your help with something, but we didn't want to let anyone else, other than Ruby and Weiss, know."
Ozpin nodded as he took a serious expression.
"I see." He said as he put his hands together on his desk. "What do you need?"
Yang looked at Blake, who nodded, before taking off her backpack and placing it softly on one of the chairs. She opened it, blocking Ozpin's and Glynda's view of what she was pulling out. She took out Yu, who was looking around at the surroundings, and turned around with her. Glynda looked surprised at the little, light-blue/lical eye colored version of Yang in her PJs, while Ozpin simply had a neutral look, though he did raise an eyebrow again. Yang set Yu on Ozpin's desk, sitting as she looked at the two adults.
Ozpin looked at the little girl in curiosity as Yu looked at him in awe.
"Why, hello little one." Ozpin said smiling as she rubbed her hair a bit, causing but Yang and Yu to growl a bit.
"Please don't touch my hair..." Yu said fixing her hair a little bit, surprising Glynda again.
"We were sort of wondering if you could hopefully... Maybe... Possibly watch her for us..." Yang said nervously as she pushed her fingers together. "While we're in class..?"
Ozpin stared at the little girl, before turning to Yang.
"I'd assume she wasn't conceived like most children?" Ozpin asked as Yang nodded. "Very well... Glynda, if you could, could you show..." He stopped as he stared at Yu for a moment.
"Oh, my name is Yu, mister." Yu said as she waved slightly.
"Hello, Yu. My name is Ozpin, I'm the headmaster here at Beacon academy." Ozpin introduced himself. "This is my assistant and teacher of Combat portion here in Beacon, Glynda Goodwitch. Glynda, could you perhaps show Yu around the tower a bit with Ms. Belladonna? I'd like to have a word with Ms. Xiao Long."
Glynda nodded as Blake took Yu off the desk. She reached her hand for Yu's, who simply took it and followed Blake and Glynda as she showed her some of the gears and the view of the academy.
"Now start from the beginning, if you will." Ozpin said as he sat back with his hands together. "How did she come to existence?"
Yang explained about the assignment to Forever Falls and the collection of the red sap with Weiss. About how they were confronted by a group of Beowolves that cut a piece of her hair and broke a part of Myrtenaster's Dust Chamber, spilling some red, yellow and purple Dust on the strand of her hair. About how a stray shot from her weapons caused the dust to ignite. How they found Yu laying on the ground, sleeping, before they smuggled her to their dorm room.
"That's quite the tale, Yang." Ozpin said when she finished. "I wouldn't believe it myself if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. My only question is where are the whereabouts of your other teammates, Ruby and Weiss."
"They left to go Vale, to get a bed for Yu." Yang answered, as Ozpin raised one of his eyebrows. "As well as a mini fridge and some food and drinks to put in it."
"Am I correct to assume that you wish to keep Little Yu over there?" Ozpin said as he pointed to her, who was watching with interest as Glynda used her semblance to levitate some of Ozpin's pens to entertain her. Yang nodded as Ozpin smiled. "I won't ask your reasons, I can see the determination in your eyes to raise her. However, it will be hard to keep a secret like this, Yang."
"What do you mean?" Yang asked, confused.
"Do not take this the wrong way, I am more than happy to help you out, but I do not simply stay in my office all day." Ozpin clarified. "If you were willing to leave Yu here with me, she would have to follow me through out the campus as I am called around."
"But can't you just leave her with Professor Goodwitch?" Yang asked as Ozpin nodded.
"Yes, I could, but she has 3 classes to teach throughout the day." Ozpin stated. "But, it is also bad for Yu as well to live a sheltered life." Yang looked at the headmaster confused, so he elaborated. "When she eventually grows up, she will have to make friends of her own, especially if she decides to follow your footsteps and become a Huntress."
Yang thought about it for a moment, before turning back to the professor.
"So say if I didn't keep her a secret, you won't just expel me and my team, or force us to give Yu up for adoption?" Yang asked as Ozpin shook his head. "And you'll watch over her during the time we are in classes?"
"You have my word, Yang." Ozpin said seriously as Yang stared at him for a moment, before nodding.
"Alright, then for tomorrow, I'll come by and drop Yu off at around 8:30." Yang said as she message Ruby and Weiss about the change in plans and told them to buy some toys for her. "I'll have Ruby and Weiss buy some toys to bring. I'll come by after my last class to come pick her up."
Ozpin nodded as Yang stood up, grabbed her bag and started making her way to Yu, but stopped halfway. She turned back to Ozpin.
"Thank you, Headmaster." She said as she smiled. "This means a lot to me."
Ozpin smiled back as he nodded. Yang went back to Yu as Glynda placed the pens back on Ozpin's desk.
"Alright, Yu, are you ready to go back to home?" Yang asked as Blake watched the two of them.
"Do I have to go back into the bag, Mom?" Yu asked as she looked up to her mother, surprising Glynda and Ozpin by her word choice.
"Nope." Yang said as she grabbed Yu, who squealed in surprise as she was lifted onto so that she sitting upon her neck, legs on each side of her shoulders. "You'll be ride on the Yang-train back home."
Blake looked at her a bit surprised that she'd do this as Yang looked at her.
"Part of the deal with Headmaster Ozpin, Blakey." Yang said as Blake nodded, blushing lightly at the nickname. "Besides, she needs to learn how to meet new friends, right?"
Blake nodded, and followed Yang out the door. Meanwhile, Ozpin had one thought in his head:
'I wonder if they would consider having Yu as their mascot for the Vytal Festival...'
V + J's Box of Authors Notes
Alright, welcome to the box everyone. Now, getting back to what I was talking about before: my small vacation. I need some time to cope with the ending of Volume 3. I have... Some many questions, and literally 1 answer to it, and it's an assumption that just raises more questions.
J: If your wondering what that question is, it's: 'Who the hell is the woman at the end of Episode 12, who I think was named Salem?'.
The most logical reasoning that I can come up with is that it's the original Winter Maiden, based on what I've seen in the short they posted about the Maidens a while back. I take this assumption on the hairstyle, and that's literally it. But don't fret, note what I said before: I'M taking a vacation.
J: Yup. I'm still going to be lingering on FF. I want to try my hands on a story of my own. I read a story about a few one-shots with a concept that I want to try out, and I thought I give it a try. And since I'm a bit lazy about making my own account, I'm going to post it on Vinny's since he doesn't mind at all. Just to give you a little teaser of what's to come, I'll give you three clues: It's an AU about our Favorite Brawler, Yang; she can transform into an animal that's in the Chinese animal calendar thing; and there are 3 stages, normal, halfling, and fully transformed into the animal.
Anyways that's it for me. Time to kick start my vacation. I'll see you guys back at the most in a week and a half.
See ya around,
Vindex + Jessica
