Chapter 1d Blake Belladonna

Today was December 12th, the second Thursday of the month, and as always Blake Belladonna was reading on the roof. She always went to the roof when the lunch period began but she had hurried today more than usual.

"Just adjusting for tonight." Blake thought to had invited Blake to her household's game night. Having said yes, Blake avoided Yang, and her puns, for the rest of the school day. When Blake finished chapter 19 of the third volume of Ninjas of Love she put a bookmark in feeling a need to take a break. She then laid back to watch the clouds slowly drift by. It was a mesmerizing activity, seconds turned into minutes as the clouds slowly, gently floated through the deep blue sky.

All of a sudden she heard the sound of the door to the roof being opened. Slowly Blake looked over to see who was below her. Unsurprisingly, it was Ruby, little red, as blake liked to call her. She closed the door behind her and sat down by the door; following that she opened her notebook full of art and flipped to the latest piece of art. Blake just sat there watching as Ruby used her pencil to complete the sketch up prior to adding color to the image. As the aspiring artist continued to draw Blake sat with a knowing stare after realising what it was Little Red was drawing. It was easy to decide whether she needed to tease the girl about it.

Soon the bell rang and lunch went into the next class period. Blake waited for Ruby to go before leaving herself. "No need to spoil the surprise." Blake chuckled. Proceeding to class Blake sat down in her seat, all the way in the back of the room, and by the windows. She was going to stay and watch the clouds some more if it were not for her being the class representative. Sadly that meant that she had to go meet the student council, much to her dismay, and talk about the events each class wished to partake in. There were a few interesting choices from within her class. Mia wanted to have an archery competition, Nora asked for a watermelon eating competition, and the bombastic blonde wished to have a winner take all boxing match against whoever wished to fight her.

Naturally the student council rejected all of the ideas from her class, given who thought of them it made perfect sense, but it was still a little offensive to Blake's pride. She had even gone through the effort to make Yang's idea be more appealing, the student council needed money and she had offered it, half of the money raised by Yang would be donated to the school. They demanded all of it and Blake gave up. Yang would never give it all up. In the end they decided on two events, both of which coming from the same class, Little red's class. The first of which was a dance on the day before christmas. Perfectly sensible, relatively cheap if they host it at the school, and most people love a good dance. The other clearly came from Ruby; on the 19th the school was to have a three legged race with one representative team from each class.

She told her class the bad news and everyone sighed. Her class was known to have the jokers, so being thoroughly rejected hurt not only their ego, but also their spirit in general. Blake smiled at her class and their reaction. This earned a confused look from the entirety of her class. Well most of her class, as it was there was a certain joker in the room who was smiling with Blake, that face held an all too knowing smile.

"Understanding that I would like to know one thing," Blake stood there for a moment cunning gleaming in her eyes, "who wants to do our events anyways?"

"What do you need Kitty?" Yang was the first person to respond, unfazed as she was, while the rest of the room was still staring in shock. Blake smiled at her friend, then to the rest of the room, finally she began to describe what happened after the events were decided.

Blake stood up to go as the meeting came to a close. However as she began to leave the vice president, Aria Shuro, grabbed her wrist holding Blake back.

"Wait a moment Ms. Belladonna. The president would like to speak with you." Confused about what was said just now Blake turned towards the student council president. Blake tried to not need to discuss anything with Yuki Sutomo. The absolute calm she generated was enough to even leave Blake off edge.

"So Ms. Belladonna. Do you know why I refused your classes events?" The president asked with absolutely no discernible emotion. Blake never could guess what Yuki was thinking.

"I assume it's because of the terrible quality of student my class has."

"That would be absolutely correct. I cannot advocate such maddening ideas from such terrible students. However there is a way I can allow it."

"What would that involve Sutomo?" Blake often referred to her old friend that way when she felt she was about to be manipulated.

"You know about the test next on monday right? Well if one of your jesters were to score top marks on the test I could… justify your events in the eyes of the school. What do you say?"

Blake thought for a moment. She personally hated being backed into such a corner. Her class would hate her if she refused and they found out, and Yuki would assure they found out, but if they tried and failed it would demoralize her classmates even further. Given who they were talking about it seemed like a lose lose situation.

"We'll do it." Blake said so without hesitation. Her class may be the laughing stock of the school, but she knew her classmates, they don't take an offense like this laying down. She felt Yuki smile at the back of her head as Blake walked out of the room.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, Friends, Laughing stocks of Beacon, lend me your ear. I ask from you what most consider the impossible. I ask from you an effort you haven't given in years. We're going to have our events. I know you can do it. So for once in years lives study for a damn test." As the words left her mouth she saw the excited faces of her classmates drain. She needed to get them fired up if this was going to work.

"They said to me that we couldn't do it. They don't think we can ace it. Are they right? Are we incapable? Are we the bottom of the barrel? I don't think so. Anyone who does think so need to hear our conviction. They need to know that line of thought is punacceptable!" Blake felt dirty saying such a terrible thing. But it's how she needed to speak to this group of people. They wouldn't understand otherwise.

"Let's teach them a lesson! Let's give them some meow-mix for thought! Are you with me?" the end of her speech was met with a resounding roar from her class. Blake felt proud. No one made fun of her or her class. Not for anything but the normal reasons.

It was the end of school. Her class was truly quiet for once as they took school seriously for the first time since their freshman year began. Opening her locker she deposited all of her unnecessary items. Inside her locker she found a box with a note on it.

Congratulations on inspiring your class so well. It must have been very unusual for you. In any case accept this token of respect. Wear it with pride in the knowledge that you are the most cunning in the school.

Inside the box was a ring made of white gold. The ring had a piece of onyx in it that contrasted beautifully with the loop of the ring. Inside the ring was an inset design of silver that looked like some sort of shadowy fire. Putting it on felt natural; as if it were always meant to rest on her finger. She then quickly met up with Yang who had offered to drive Blake to her house. She couldn't help but notice a quick involuntary wince from Yang as she saw Blake's new ring. She chose to pay no mind to it however. Tonight was to be fun not frustrating.

It wasn't long till they arrived at the Xiao Long/Rose residence. It wasn't very magnificent, they probably couldn't pay for anything better, but it was quaint. What Blake wasn't expecting was the limo leaving the driveway showing the Ice Queen, Weiss Schnee, walking up to their house. Figured as much Blake decided. She couldn't expect to be the only guest.

However Blake saw this as an opportunity. Little red didn't know what Blake knew. That made all the teasing that was to happen tonight all the sweeter.

"I'm going to enjoy myself." Blake thought with a wide grin.

I bet you all were expecting an awesome fight right? Don't worry. It'll be worth the wait to have the next chapter.

Also i'm opening a competition this chapter to anyone who wants to guess. What do you think Blake saw? The winner will be whoever can guess it. But if multiple people can guess it detailed responses shall be rewarded. The winner gets a cookie.
