Chapter Six:
The Night before Initiation
Ullysses looked around the large room, taking note of how many students have already laid out their sleeping bags. He also took note of how some groups have already started to form. He took particular note of a group of assorted female faunus in a group, with a Crocodile Faunus, standing guard over them. As he walked past, he nodded his head in respect to her, noting the brief look of surprise across her features before she acknowledged him with a curt nod of her own. He walked over to a unclaimed spot on the floor and laid his own sleeping bag out. After rolling it out, he knelt down and started to go through his bag. A person nearby was sitting against the wall, head against the wall and eyes closed. However, there was something about how he was positioned, that made Ullysses uneasy.
"Can I help you?"
The Atlesian looked up and the young man leaning against the wall was looking at him, through narrowed eyes. A slight frown appeared on his face, as he maintained a readiness to spring to action in his muscles. Looking at the young man, he decided to be honest in his response.
"Just... taking note of my fellow students."
A thin lipped smile appeared on the man's face.
"Studying the opposition, yes?" a dry chuckle escaped his lips "Wise."
Ullysses nodded as he sat down on his sleeping bag, looking at the other student.
"My name is Ullysses Emmelin, from Atlas."
Closing his eyes and resting his head back against the wall, the other student seemed to drift off.
"Reven Greigh. From Patch."
Before Ullysses could respond, he noticed a female Wolf Faunus was watching the two of them, her every movement, cautious and alert. He dipped his head towards her.
"Good evening...?"
The Wolf Faunus looked at the Atlesian, her own sleeping bag next to her. Her response was a quick nod, before she dived into her sleeping bag. A dry chuckle came from Reven as Ullysses frowned slightly as another female student walked up and sat down next to Reven. She elbowed the long haired male with a grin on her face.
"You know, she's looking for you."
A soft groan escaped Reven's lips.
"... you didn't?"
Her response was a wide grin, as a loud voice called out, making Reven cringe.
"OH REVEN?! WHERE, OH WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Reven cursed under his breath, as he rose to a crouching posture and started to slink away, when he bumped into someone. He didn't bother to look up, just spun on his heel and ran... The person he bumped into, tussled her long blond hair and wore a mischievous grin as she then cracked her knuckles.
"Oho... I love it when they run!" she looked at the woman who was sitting against the wall with a smile on her face "Thanks for the headsup Ly! We'll catch up later!"
Ullysses looked at the girl, a question in his eyes. She grinned as she nodded to him.
"Don't worry... my brother won't get hurt. Though he deserves it heh heh." she sighed to herself "They are a good fit in my opinion. Anyway, I'm his twin, Lyana."
The Atlesian processed the information.
"Ullysses Emmelin."
Lyana was about to respond, when she heard her brother call out, along with his blonde haired pursuer. Ullysses looked at Lyana, a raised eyebrow.
"I take it, that there is some history between...?"
Having rolled her sleeping bag out, Lyana grinned as she laid down.
"Reven and Yang? Heh, back in Patch they both had the top marks in combat training. I kind of hope they'll pick things up..."
A loud crash could be heard, startling some of the other students, as Reven was running along the wall, dodging the objects Yang was hurling at him. A pillow, bag, book, whatever Yang ran past, she grabbed and threw at her target. Yang grabbed a small bag and hurled it, it's contents raining over the place as it's owner wore a look of disbelief, which turned to anger. Yang jumped and tackled Reven, the two tumbling to the ground, a blur of yellow and black. The owner of the last bag, Yang had thrown, stormed over to them with anger etched on her face.
"WILL YOU TWO STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN AND REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE!?"
Yang and Reven stopped their wrestling, Yang having Reven in a headlock and he with his arms wrapped around her waist to lift her into a backdrop. Both looked at the woman clad in white before them, looks of surprise on their faces. Reven managed to look up at Yang.
"You do know... where we are, yes?
Yang paused, looking off to the side and with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Hmm... I do believe we are in Vale... right?"
Reven nodded as he looked at the girl in white.
"Does that answer your question? Now, if you'll excuse us... I have to prove to my wrestling partner here, why I'm the best."
Before Yang could respond, Reven lifted her up into the air and dropped her onto her back on the floor. Jumping back to his feet, Reven turned and looked down at Yang.
"Just like last time, eh Yang? Me, on my feet... you, on your back."
Yang looked up at Reven, a crooked smile on her face and a certain gleam in her eyes.
"Well... who said I'm done?"
With a swing of her legs, she hit Reven at the back of his knees, causing him to fall to the ground, sending the air rushing out of his lungs. Before Reven could regain his senses, Yang was straddling him, holding his arms to the ground above his head. Grinning, Yang leaned down so she was staring into his eyes.
"Check... mate, Rev."
It was then, the girl in white, let out a screech as she spun on her heel and stalked off, almost running into Yang's younger sister. Who was looking at her older sister in a rather provacative pose atop one of their old childhood friends. Waving her hands in front of her, she turned her head to the side, face bright red.
"YANG! REVEN! What are you both doing?!"
Reven frowned, then a gleam appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yang, before leaning forward and kissing her. Eyes wide, Yang was caught unawares as Reven broke the kiss and threw Yang off of him. Landing on her back, she glanced at Reven as he flipped back to his feet, speechless. With a flourish, he bowed to her.
"Well, it's been fun Xiao Long. Alas, it's time to call if a night, yes?" with a grin he nodded to Ruby "Better take your sister and tie her down in her sleeping bag Ruby... or I could do it for you..."
Yang laughed as Ruby's face turned as red as the highlights in her hair. She leaped inbetween them, arms stretched out.
"NothankyouRevenYourofferisappreciatedbutnotneededthankyouverymuch. We'llcatchuplaterokthankyouGoodbye."
Yang burst out laughing as Ruby stammered in response. Others nearby went back to what they were doing beforehand. Leaning against a nearby wall, a girl with raven black hair closed her book and looked around the room. With a small smile she lifted the candleholder next to her.
"An interesting turn of events..."

Deaths-Head : I've been pretty busy the last month, what with moving house and such. This was going to be a longer chapter, combining the night before Initiation and the actual Initiation, to this is a little short for now. Initiation will probably be a two chapter arc depending on how I plan it.
I have also decided to change the focus of the story slightly. Instead of focusing solely on RWBY and JNPR with cameo's of others, it'll focus on two other first year teams more (With RWBY and JNPR appearing a fair bit... and yes, Team CFVY and that other second year team will feature more as well).
