So today is going to be iffy if you can say that so rwby does not belong to me but to roosterteeth
"The next item on sale is the river edge dagger for 25 lien." Tai said as Cross came out with a multi curved dagger flipping it around before giving it to Tai. "So who wants this bad boy?" Tai asked as multiple people and faunus raised their hands as the auction started. "32 going once going twice." another raised, "54." Raised. "69." Raised. "78 going once going twice sold to the female faunus in purple." Tai said as Ruby speed off to the faunus in purple with the dagger in its box. "Next the reverse samurai sword." Tai said as Yang brought out the Overall Length: 39" with a Blade Length of 28" silver-blue handled sword. "Now this blade is overall the sharpest of its family and is on sale for 50 lien." Tai said as the crowd stayed quiet before two people raised their hands one in a black cloak and another in brown. "Remember the highest bidder wins."
"I bid 75 lien!" The female in the black cloak said as the other raised the bid.
"80 lien!" The man in brown.
"85!" Black
"90!" Brown
"100!" Black
"150!" The man in brown shouted out as the crowd looked at them wondering who is going to get the highest bid.
"300!" The woman said as the crowd looked at her with a shock on their faces.
"The sword for 300 lien going once going twice-"
"400!" Some else yelled out as the entire crowd, Tai, Ruby, Yang, and Cross turned to see a girl in a midnight black jacket, navy blue jeans, and a metallic mask hiding her face.
"400 hundred going once going twice… sold to the woman with the metal mask!" Tai said as the girl walked up to the stage giving tai the money as Cross gave the reverse sword to the girl.
"Hello their Cross looks like you are enjoying your day." The girl said as Cross already knew who it was.
"Why are you here Dunkelheit?" Cross asked as Dunkelheit smiled under the mask releasing a small chuckle.
"It's good to see that the legendary nightmare hunter is having a day with his students." Dunkelheit said as she grabbed the sword while slipping a note to Cross as she left the premises.
"Well that was a thing." Yang said as she went to the back of the stage.
"Okay well that will be it for right now folks we are going to be on our break so we will be back in an hour for now enjoy yourselves." Tai said as the rest of them got to the back of the stage.
"Hey Cross looks like you have a fan club already." Tai said as Cross looked to where he was pointing at to see a group of girls in their teens and probably in their twenties taking pictures of him.
"Hey Cross we have a guess!" Ruby said as Cross turned around to see Ruby and Coco talking to each other.
"Ah Ms. Adel, what do I owe the pleasure of my student seeing me this day?"
"Shut the crap on that Cross." Coco said as Cross frown that Coco killed his fun on that. "We need to talk."
"Sure just give me a couple of seconds to get rid of the other girls." Cross said as Coco looked behind him to see a group of girls near the entrance.
"Okay but how are you going to do that?"
"That is easy." Cross said as he grabbed Ruby's waist pulling her into an unsuspected kiss in which created an awkward atmosphere for Coco and leaving the group of girls outside shocked at what just happened. As he pulled back Ruby was left in a smiling daze with a bit of drool coming from the corner of her mouth. "See that how you get a group of anyone to back away from you when they don't think that you don't have a girlfriend."
"Okay but could you have given me a warning next time before you do something like this again?"
"Nope, now come on what is it that you want to talk about?" Cross asked as Coco facepalm at knowing Cross would do this at any time he can to have people get the point.
"Not here we have to talk somewhere private." Coco said as Cross nodded and followed Coco with Ruby behind him until they reached a secluded area from the rest of the people. "Okay this place should do, now Cross, Ozpin has been trying to get a hold of you because he had received a distressed call about an unknown faunus group attacking Patch."
"Wait Patch?" Ruby asked as Coco nodded before looking back at Cross, who was hard in thought.
"Okay here's the thing these faunus had come from the island next to Patch and no one has come out from that area when they have sent military forces in there and they are asking for huntsmen and huntresses to go in there but as you can tell they are out at another area along with rubies uncle."
"Okay so that means Ozpin wants me to go to Patch by myself and see what the commotion is about?"
"No, you are to go to Patch with a team you want to go with you and see what has happened to the others that has disappeared in the island." Coco said as she gave Cross the letter with five sea tickets to go to Patch. "You have about a week to pick a team and head to Patch but that also means that you have to bring a brief detail about what has happened there." Coco said as she left the area where they were at leaving Cross and Ruby at an area full of darkness that felt familiar to Cross as he pulled his hand out to grab Dunkelheit neck.
"Oh so it looked like you can still see through my semblance." Dunkelheit said as Cross lets go of her neck as she fell on her feet looking at Cross through her mask before looking at Ruby. "So who's the kid?"
"I am not a kid." Ruby said as Dunkelheit was about to push Ruby to a side. Before this happened Cross grabbed by Dunkelheit by the mask lifting her off the ground with his red eyes piercing through his shades.
"What do you want Dunkelheit and if you hurt Ruby I can just leave you with the pain I left your brother in last time I saw him." Cross said as Dunkelheit started struggling to get free as she saw the threat first hand as the memories flashed back into her mind.
5 years ago training room of the mercs and bounties
"Okay you little shit what did you say about this I kill you now and nobody will know that you died by me." A teen that looked like he was at the age of 15 or 16.
"How about…fuck your sister." Cross said as he was met with a punched to the stomach causing him to have all of his air tokened out of him, gasping for air.
"Now, now what a mouth you have do you kiss mommy with that mouth oh right she's dead!" The teen said as punched Cross to the ground.
"You know it is not right to talk about the dead like that." Cross said as the teen stopped at his back keeping him from standing up.
"Yeah and who is going to stop me?" The teen said as his face was meet with a metal bar that was swung by a female that looked like she was 19.
"You little shit stop fooling around and get back to training!" She shouted as she looked down at Cross when she heard him grunted.
"Alba leave this fight before you break a nail." The teen taunted as Alba gave the bar to Cross to help him up.
"Come on Cross you need to get back up before you actually get killed by them or me if this happens again" Alba said as Cross just got back up without help.
"Alba just leave me be; this is my fight and I only fight when I am threatened." Cross said as the teen boy walked up to him holding a knife to Cross's neck
"Oh so you don't feel threatened, how about I kill you now?" The teen said as he was about to bring the knife to Cross's chest when he felt something in his stomach, as he looked down he can only see what was the hand of his victim piercing through his skin into his internal organs.
"Those who mock the dead are the ones that die before having to find who they are."
"Cross stop this you're killing him!" Alba said as he grabbed Cross's arm pulling out his hand from the teen.
"Those who die can see those who are closes." A shaking girl with big brown eyes and light brown hair said as she walked up to the older teen who was clutching his stomach. "The lines from the book of the last darkness, the best book there is." The girl said as she laid the older teen on the ground before placing a hand over his eyes and taking his final breath.
"He is dead not by your hand Cross he is just leaving to someplace real." The girl said as she stood up shaking a little before seeing Cross's blood red eyes.
Present
"Okay fine just let me down this mask was not cheap!" Dunkelheit said as Cross lets go of her landing on her feet again looking a little bit irritated at Cross but deep down loved that she was dominated by the person she loves. "Now then how about we get something to eat it is the fair."
"Yeah fine we can get something to eat it is 3 already even though there was class today this was the best day until now." Cross said as he looked at Ruby who was texting Yang that she is going to get something to eat with Cross and a friend of his.
"So what do you two want to eat?" Ruby asked as Dunkelheit thought about what she wants to eat.
"I can go for chili fries." Someone said as all of them turned around to see someone they didn't expect.
"Alba!"
Moments later the four of them bot their food of chili fires, Dunkelheit with some hotdogs, Ruby with a plate of cookies, and Cross with a bowl of fried Oreo's and a wallet full of tears that he was lost more than he expected form the three girls with him. "So what are you two doing here?"
"Well Cross you see we have a message to give you by "we" I mean Dunk here." Alba said as she pointed at her neighbor who was in the middle of eating a hotdog with some cheese and chili covering her face not covered by the mask.
"Right Dunkelheit clean up your face for god sakes you have to stop eating like this." Cross said as Dunkelheit took in the rest of the hotdog before cleaning her face with the napkin provided by Ruby.
"Right sorry, okay Cross I have brought something here to tell you but one question is this, why is there a child eating with us.
"Ruby isn't a child she's one of Cross's students." Alba said as Cross and Dunkelheit looked at Ruby who was only a couple of inches from Cross as she keep on eating her cooking.
"Really she looks like a kid." Dunkelheit said as she noticed that Cross was smiling at Ruby. "Wow Cross, didn't knew you were a pedophile."
"Actually I am 15." Ruby said as everyone looked at Dunk who was stuck from that statement.
"Okay then back to task, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Cross asked as Dunk shook her thoughts out of her head.
"Right Cross the thing is that this message is a warning, don't go to the island it is said to have many dangers in it and someone had a vision of you dying." Dunkelheit said as Ruby choked on a cookie when she heard about Cross dying.
"Wait a minute, Cross cannot die he is too fast to get killed and he can regenerate faster than any person can." Ruby said as she leaned over the table and looked at Dunk in the mask. "The vison must have been someone that looks like Cross right?"
"Sorry Ruby but it is true; the vision never lies, Cross heave the warning you will die." Alba said as Cross looked at his oreos seeing that he has finished them.
"Thanks for the waring alba, Dunkelheit." Cross said as he got back up making way to the stage area where Tai is. As Ruby follows shortly she returned back to Alba and Dunkelheit grabbing the rest of her cookies.
"He is still going, isn't he?" Dunk asked as she felt her scroll ring, without looking to see who it is she only heard a voice.
"Of course I am going Alison, I am not a sane person." Cross said as he knew that Alison was frozen when she heard Cross called her by her real name making her blush as Alba whistle at the sight before Cross hanged up.
"Dame looks like he know that it is you after all." Alba said as she saw Alison jump with excitement.
"Looks like I do have a chance to have him." Alison said as Alba got a text from Yang.
"Actually it seems like he is taken."
"Really, by whom?"
"By Ruby, wow look like he didn't really needed my help to get someone for him." Alba said as she felt dark energy coming from her neighbor. As Alba looked to her left she predicted the obvious of Alison's aura engulfing herself with white eyes coming from the shadows. "Don't worry he will probably dump her…eventually."
Back at beacon after selling all of the blades at the fair
"So what did you think of today Cross, you actually looked like you were having fun with the swords and breaking all of the girls hearts." Yang said as she was counting a wad of money she has received from her day's work with her dad.
"To say I was having fun and I didn't know you guys actually sell premium swords, daggers, knifes, and anything that has to have a blade." Cross said as he took off his shades to reveal his emerald eyes slightly darker then they should be.
"Hey Cross you okay, you seem to be a little tiered." Yang said as Ruby, Weiss, and Blake came in to see both teacher and student on the same bed.
"What are you two doing?" Blake asked as she saw something moved on Cross's back signifying that his wings need to be stretched.
"Nothing we are just counting money, let's see eight hundred ninety-nine, nine-hundred. Well we have almost about a thousand, what about you Cross?" Yang asked as she can see Cross's eyes scanning the money faster than anybody can.
"With this stack about eight thousand, now then I say we have reached about with the rest of the money that still haven't been counted over eleven thousand lien for your dad." Cross said as he shifted his body slightly towards the left felling his shirt press against his skin.
"Cross by any chance, are your wings feeling uncomfortable right now?" Weiss asked as Ruby grabbed something out of her drawer and pulled out a wrapped box.
"Yeah it is just my wing sometimes have a mind of its own."
"Well why don't you go ahead and flex your wings out, we do live with Yang and her hair." Weiss said as Yang looked at Weiss with red eyes before looking at Cross who was hesitating with think of stretching them out.
"I don't know I think this room is a little too small for them." Cross said he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Cross is you don't do this now our wing will probably he too stressed to even move." Blake said as she leapt back to the ground getting to Weiss's bed.
"Hm I don't-"
"Cross we are giving permission to open your wings right now so just relax them." Ruby said as Cross released a sigh knowing that he lost this battle.
"Fine but I still think this room is still too small." Cross said as he started taking off his jacket and shirt hesitated with his bandages on his body before getting them off. As he was taking off his bandages the girls watched in anticipation to see what type of faunus he is and what his wings span is (Blake inspection of wings for another reason.) as Cross bandages hung loosely they saw something pulsing lightly until they saw one of his wings shoot out revealing a blood-black red bat wing nearly reaching Ruby's bed. As Cross lets his wing relax to its full extent reaching Ruby's bed the girls looked in awe at the full length and for Ruby to see that his wing have finger like bones in it.
"That is so cool, can I touch it?" Ruby asked as she was going to poke it when Cross slightly pulled back from its contact.
"Sorry Ruby but when someone touches a bat faunus wing it gives them a weird feeling and gives them a sense of numbness on their back." Cross said as he started flexing his wing fingers felling the joints loosened with every movement.
"Hey Cross what type of bat faunus are you anyways." Blake asked as she pulled out a tape measurer to find the length of the wing.
"Well I am 1/3 dove from my mother side." Cross said as the girls looked at him with confusion before moving on. "I am also 1/3 vampire bat, and fox bat." Cross said as Blake looked at his other wing to see the base of it moving but not the rest of it.
"Cross, why don't you move your other wing?" Blake asked as she looked at the wing to see it limp.
"Well I already know that Sofia told you four that we had an accident when we were kids." Cross said as he saw Blakes ears flattened on her head. "You know I don't mean anything from that Blake, just jogging your memory."
"Well even if you are just jogging her memory there is no reason for you to talk about the past for now we heard that you have a mission and have to pick a team to go with you, so who's going with you?" Weiss asked as Cross smirked before looking at the others.
"Well I am taking team rwby to go to Patch since I know two sisters that are residents there." Cross said as he looked at the money before being tackled by Ruby and Yang at the news of them going to Patch.
"Yay we got to go back to Patch, we got to show you three the best places in Patch and the place where we can all have fun." Ruby said as she looked at Cross who looked like he was holding in pain. "Something wrong Cross?"
"Yeah both of you are kneeling on my crotch." Cross said as both of the sisters moved away from Cross so he can roll off the bed to land on the ground holding onto his newly destroyed boys.
"Sorry about that Cross, so when are we going to leave to Patch." Yang asked as went down to Cross to see if he is okay as she sees his wing going back to its place.
"We are to leave at the end of the week but we need someplace to stay at when we are over there." Cross said as he sat up still holding onto his crotch.
"Well we got my dad's house and we got uncle Qrow's house." Ruby said as she pulled out her scroll to find the island name. "Uh what's the island name?"
"It's called drakes island home the biggest place with bats everywhere." Cross said as the girls turned pale instead Weiss transparent to know that they are going to an area full of bats. "all of the bat population there is fruit bats, fox bats, and tent making bats none of them are harmful almost all of them eats small animals, lizards or insects so they shouldn't bother you." Cross said as the girls relaxed a bit but were still nervous.
"Right so we got an island that is said to have a home infested with bats but what is the rest?" Weiss asked as Ruby tapped on her scroll trying to get the location of the island.
"we are going to drakes island because some hostile faunus are attack Patch probably taking some people hostage we are also going to the island to see what have happened to the others that have been sent to that island but have never returned." Cross said as everyone looked at Blake knowing that she might be uncomfortable with this.
"Hey guys I have the location of the island but it is about 6 hours from and of Patches shores." Ruby said as she showed the place to where the island is and was surprised to see the island having a castle and a wall on the shores.
"So then how do you think we are going to get in their?" Blake asked as she studied the island to only have an instinct to back away but hidden it.
"Don't know we will probably think of this when we get there." Weiss said as Cross nodded at her statement and looked at the closes place to the shores.
"Well looks like we are going to be staying at Qrow's when we are over there." Cross said as Ruby and Yang got up and started packing with a huge smile on their faces.
"Cross can we leave sooner I really want to get back to our gold old Patch and see all of the people that I know there." Ruby said as she looked at Cross who was paying no heave to her. As she looked at his face she saw something that she never knew Cross had in him, fear. "Cross are you okay?"
"Yeah, just that the island looks like something I saw in a dream before but different than I think." Cross said as his eyes turned back to their normal emerald color.
"Well Cross as much as we like having you with your shirt off I think it would be best if we all have some sleep now so we can get ready for class tomorrow." Weiss said as Cross just kept looking at the map before responding.
"Yeah the rest of you still have somethings I need." Cross said as he looked at Yang who went to her desk and started getting out paper to write on.
"Well since she always do this late I think you are going to make us do more training as a team?" Weiss asked as Cross shook his head.
"No I got another idea of what I want all of you to do." Cross said as he got up and left the room leaving his jacket, shirt, and bandages.
"Do you think he noticed that he have left his top lay of clothing's?" Blake asked as the room fell silent from the only occasional sounds of pencil led being run aCross paper.
"Well I think it would be right to hand him his things in the morning but right now we need to keep track of Yang doing her work." Weiss said as she felt a paper ball hit her in the face as she looked at Yang who was making another one before having the ball blown from her hand by an icicle. "Yang get back to work or do you want Cross to have you do the needle test on you?" Weiss said as Yang turned pale as she remembered the needle test Alba was talking about when all of them were at the hot springs.
A couple days ago hot springs
"Man I still cannot believe that vale has a natural hot spring that no one knows about." Coco said as she patted Alba on the back as she looked around to see the guys, Pyrrha, Velvet, and Weiss blushing from where they are at.
"Do we really have to share the springs with the male portion of the group?" Weiss asked as she stared daggers at the males to make sure they won't move their blindfolds to take a peek.
"Be glad Cross isn't here he would know how all of your bodies sizes by now." Alba said as she moved next to Yang giving her a playful squeeze. "He will also probably make the water run red from the sight of this beauty."
"You can say that again this will probably make the boys heart race." Yang said as she moved next to Jaune lightly breathing onto his neck putting his arm between her bosoms feeling Jaune tensed up.
"Hey you guys want me to tell you something about Cross's training." Alba said as the entire group looked at Alba with a little help from Yang and Velvet to help the boys looked her way. "Cross's training you guys the easiest way he can but the training he want to rush you guys into is called the needle test."
"What's the needle test?" Jaune asked as he felt the water get warmer.
"The needle test is when someone that needs help to get higher aura. They start out to get their body destroyed by getting all of their aura channels cut off." Alba said as the entire group looked at the water with the foam turning to show the body of a person's aura being cut off. "the next thing that will happened is that with the rest of life that person they get their aura fixed back together by stabbing the aura placements veins destroying the rest of the body that to show where the aura channel is at with the body instantly regenerating but making that said person to received major pain that will get someone killed if they don't have enough training." Alba said as the foam started to disappear leaving a dark imprint of death at the bottom of the clear water.
"So if he teaches this to us we are dead?" Jaune asked as Alba hummed at the knowledge of death following Cross everywhere.
"Great so our final breath is going to be taken by our newest teacher." Weiss said as she deepened herself in the water.
"Yeah well be glade that he is always calm no matter in what situation he is in." Alba said as she predicted something different in the future.
Present Cross's room
"Why am I having a bad feeling about the island it is like I know someone or something there but I don't know what it is." Cross said as he noticed he was upside down again and noticed that he has trashed his room again. "Damn I need to calm down for tomorrow but why, why am I so fucking tense right now." Cross said as he punched one of the walls to the far right of the room leaving a couple of crakes with his blood.
Well then that is it for this chapter sorry for the late updates I am starting to sleep in more so these updates are going to be lest resent then usually but yeah so aske any questions about this chapter and any that might come out for later on chapters.
