Sorry it's taken so long for me to get my procrastinating ass back to this story. I've been going through a sort of personal dilemma, but I wont let it hinder me anymore. So... onward forth! And despite my previous claims, the White Rose will have to wait for now. I'm just going to introduce you to a few more characters. And if you've noticed, I changed the prologue to chapter 1. The following few chapters will most likely be short. Please tell me if you spot any mistakes so I can fix them posthaste!

Chapter 2

Sick Beats

POV: ?

Damn she's fine! I let out a long whistle to show my appreciation for the hottie in stripes walking past me. She didn't respond, she looked pretty focused on the ground. Her lack of response didn't stop me from turning to get a better look though. She had on an itty-bitty skirt, though I could definitely tell none of her assets were itty-bitty. All of a sudden, I found my vision blocked by a large, damp towel.

"Hey, quit staring at girls and get back to work Hayden!" I pulled off the towel and saw my older sister's agitated face.

"I was admiring the view that's all," I smirked and got back to wiping off the outside tables of our family bistro.

"Ugh, what a sleez. You're gonna die old and alone at this rate," she muttered.

"I heard that, Helena!"

"Does it look like I give a crap?" she came closer to me, snatched her towel, and headed back inside.

It was pretty much our daily routine; I slack off at work because I'm paying attention to some girl, she yells and insults my capability to have a decent future. I know I'm sort of a pervert, I won't deny it, but can you blame me? There's so many pretty girls here in Vale. My family and I moved out here from the country when I was 10. Back then, Dad owned a huge business and we were doing quite well. 4 years later Mom died; she caught a bad case of pneumonia while on a skiing trip. Dad fell off the deep end, and soon, so did his business. My sister was 19 at the time and handled things pretty well. She managed to help Dad scrape up what was left of our money and move to a cheaper part of town. That's when we started Brakett Family Bistro. Dad was able to handle managing it much better than his business.

Now Helena is engaged. She put the wedding for a few years from now so she can finish up med school. Now that's dedication! But when she leaves Dad and I will have quite the financial situation to deal with. Helena is getting grants for now but Dad promised to pay her last year with savings we've collected over the years. Added onto half of the cost of her wedding. Since she'll be paying bills when she moves in with her husband she will be in no position to pay us back like she wants to. Which leaves me to figure out how to manage our family financially.

My solution was to become a huntsman! Easier said then done I know, but once I'm set on something there's no going back. I already passed the physical entrance exam, I just need to start studying for the academic one. It'll be hard considering I never studied a day in my life (I was a straight C student not counting P.E.), but I'm up for the challenge. That and I'll be a total chick magnet once I'm famous! Not that I have any problem with girls now.

I looked at the clock and it read 10:30. Wow it's that late already?!

"Hey sis, you okay closing? Your fiancé set me up on a blind date and I'm running late," I inquired while gathering up my stuff.

"Yeah go on ahead I had some errands to run afterwards anyways,"

"What like getting laid?"

She blushed, "W-w-what! No.. I-I just,"

"Just what? A few days ago you said you were getting groceries but came home at one in the morning empty handed. And don't forget the messy hair and wrinkled clothes,"

"Ugh whatever," she flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder and proceeded to ignore me. That was one of the things that set us apart. She had blonde hair while mine was auburn, she was mature while I was mischievous. But we both had bright green eyes and a fiery attitude. She's just like mom.

I put on my headphones and dashed down the street. Music is my everything, I love it more than girls. It seems like there is a good song for any mood or situation I'm in. Hell, I love it so much that I made sure to design my weapon to resemble a boom box. I think it has something to do with the fact that my semblance deals with sound waves.

I had made it to a less decent part of town when I was caught off guard by the crash of a window and a flying, unconscious body. Nearby was a blonde girl and another figure I couldn't make out because she was wearing darker clothes. Wait, no... it couldn't be! Is it?

"Xiao Long, that you?" I shouted over to the two people across the alley way.

"You betcha! It's been forever since I've seen you Brakett!"

I jogged up to Yang and the other figure which I now knew to be Ruby, "Wow and Rubes, is that you? I almost didn't recognize ya, you're almost fully grown up now!"

"Yup! And stronger than ever!" she beamed a brilliant smile at me.

"Hey little sis, go on ahead will ya? I wanna catch up with Hayden,"

"Yuck, I know what that means!" We both rolled our eyes in response as she walked away.

"So, what's with the tie and slacks? You goin' on a date? The Brakett I know prefers faded jeans and hoodies,"

"Heh, yeah Helena's fiancé set me up on a blind date. I would've said no, but he mentioned she's a DJ and you know I love music,"

"Yep, that explains why you don't have Sick Beats with you,"

"Well she might think I'm a rapist if I bring a weapon to a date ya know?" Yang laughed loudly, then sighed, "What is it?"

"Just remembering the old days,"

"We did some crazy stuff back then huh?"

"Yeah. But most importantly, you helped me figure out who I was and made me part of who I am today. I don't know how I could ever pay you back for that,"

"Hmm... a kiss?"

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever, pervert," she kissed me on the cheek and with that, she left.

I looked down at my watch. Oh crap it's 10:50! I raced to my destination within minutes, a classy but not well known restaurant. The music played there and the decoration suggested that it was not meant to be a spot for old married couples, but more for young adults and teens with budding romances. I asked everyone around if they saw a girl with pink hair come in here. It was the only information I knew about her myself besides her name which is Xena. Finally, I came across one man who seemed to have seen her.

"Pink hair? Oh yeah I think I do remember a girl like that. She walked out about ten minutes ago though. She seemed really pissed!"

"Oh, alright. Thanks," Dammit! I walked out of the restaurant only to be rained on. Well I guess I sort of deserve it. What my sister had said earlier today rang in my head:

"Ugh, what a sleez! You're going to die old and alone at this rate!"

Considering this is the third date I've ruined this month, I was starting to believe she might be right.

In response to your review...

Insanity294: Of course! It won't be that easy. Ruby Rose is the only one who got into Beacon easy in the show and I'm going to keep it that way.
