In Ozpin's office, things were quiet and peaceful. The man in question was holding a mug of coffee that never seemed to finish, one had to wonder whether he drank too slowly to see or too fast for one to catch refilling.
He took a long refreshing sip.
Ozpin was a man in his prime, his messy white hair misguided those with little experience with him. While he was indeed young, he was far more intelligent than any of his peer could hope to be. It also happened to make him look cool and mysterious.
As the headmaster continued to multitask in filing away paper work, sipping his coffee, admiring himself, and wondering about the well-being of his adorable students student's, his pager came to life, Glynda's voice coming through it like a stern harp.
"Professor Ozpin, Professor Desruc-"
"Send him in Miss Goodwhitch", the headmaster interjected sharply, his finger still on the pager so his assistant couldn't even respond even if she wanted to. After a minute of holding the pager, his office doors opened, allowing the thoroughly annoyed assistant to escort the gigantic Professor of Dust Applications into the office.
Glynda became more annoyed when she realized that she had to displace herself even deeper into the office, as the double elevator doors fit the Professors' slouched shoulders perfectly, leaving no room for her, lest she end up as a smear, though it was doubtful considering Desruc's formal personality.
This in mind she waited patiently for him to stroll and stand directly in front of the headmaster's table before automatically dismissing herself. She smelled testosterone in the air, and it did not smell like something she wanted to get in between.
With a soft click, the double doors of Ozpin's office had been sealed.
"Headmaster Ozpin", the giant greeted.
"Professor Desruc, how was your first day of class? I assume it was to your liking?" he threw back.
Staying seated, it was hard to look up using only his eyeballs without moving his neck. Desruc was absolutely massive even in his hunched down pose, but he didn't want to sacrifice his cozy head position either. So he settled on seeing the patchwork T-Shirt Desruc wore.
Hunched over, Desruc nodded "I find the First-Year students very lively, so much positive energy abounds in this place, it simply lifts up my mood!" Turning away, he looked to the view of the rest of Beacon behind Ozpin, shifting the blanket that acted as his make-shift coat. This revealed his stone-grey elbows. "I only pray that the peace will last, war will end such a thing though"
The conversation quickly took a negative turn, something that neither wanted but needed to discuss:
Beacon's preparations for war.
Within the RWBY dorm, each of the members were doing their own thing to pass time, seeing as none of the other teachers had anything for them for the rest of the day. Apparently Professor Desruc was given the ENTIRE day to familiarize himself both with Beacon Academy as well as its First-Year students. Though he had let them all off early for some reason, possibly due to Ruby.
Currently, the after mentioned leader of RWBY was hiding under her sheets with several cookies and an unseen, but adorable pout. Leaving the room in silent tension.
Blake flipped a page on her novel.
Weiss scratched more notes onto her notebook as she continued to study.
Ruby sulked.
Yang peeked over the bed to see her little sister rustling under the blanket, clearly uncomfortable, yet unwilling to move out.
Blake flipped another page.
Weiss edited her notes.
Ruby mewled cutely under the muffling blankets.
Yang continued to watch.
Blake placed a bookmark on her novel and moved to join Yang to stare at Ruby's hidden form.
Weiss had apparently finished her studies and closed her books
Ruby mewled once again.
Weiss automatically joined the pair at the currently most interesting thing to do: staring at Ruby under the blanket as the made little sounds.
"Isn't she adorable?" Yang silently made a squealing noise when Weiss formed the trio watchers. Blake gave Yang a deadpan stare, while Weiss continued to stare.
"Yang, you do realize that the reason she's under there in the first place is because you told her that bedtime story last night right?" Blake asked, in a tone as if stating the dumbest thing in the world. Yang began to laugh nervously.
"The dolt actually believed what that brute told, of it actually being a bedtime story instead of last minute lesson before sleep, and she believed it as well. Like a dolt." Weiss threw in her own two-cents, causing the sisters to flinch.
Ruby mewled again.
Zwei jumped up and pulled the covers off Ruby with his teeth before snuggling with her.
"Wait, we still have Zwei? Where did he come from?" Blake screamed in panic, completely ignoring Ruby, who was covered in sweat from the heat gathered under the blanket. Weiss began fawning over Zwei once more, ignoring a sweat drenched Ruby as well.
Yang, concern now plastered over her face as her little sister began to pant "Ruby, are you… alright?" Zwei licked Ruby's nose in concern.
When the girl didn't respond and instead made a pained expression, Yang went into Big Sister Overdrive. This consisted of feeling her temperature with an open palm, slapping off the other two team members like flies and dragging the girl to the Academy's infirmary in a burst of speed.
Ruby was burning up to an unbearably hot level, even to Yang who had a Fire-related semblance.
"Ruby…hang on"
An hour later, the remaining members of team RWBY, JNPR and Cardin rushed to the infirmary after hearing that Ruby had been admitted to the Intense Care Ward.
An area for hunters with fatal injuries, and little hope for survival.
Yang would be found alone in the waiting room with shadowed over expression on her face, Zwei attempting to cheer her up. Only the dog could see the face the Blonde Berserker was making, and none of the others would ever know what it was.
A/N: Yay! First Author's note! Please remember to review, I don't care if its flames or something! Please tell me if one or more characters are being too OOC, misspelling the character names or if the story seems a bit confusing, I will judge whether it be clarification or spoiler. But it seems great, 3 chapters in one day.
Hopefully I've satisfied your hunger for now.
