~Ammy~
I woke up at my usual time, just as the sun began to rise. It usually does not take me long to get ready for the day and today was not any different. Well, except for the new uniform which does not match my rosary very well, but wore them anyway.
After a quick trip to get breakfast for myself, I was looking over today's schedule when the other's alarms started going off, telling them to get up and get ready for the day. The only one not stirring yet was Shiva, seeing as she is usually looks lethargic, I assumed that it would always takes a long time for her to get up. While waiting for class time I thought about what classes would be like. If they would be harder or easier than what I am used to, and also how I should approach Red about getting along with the rest of the team.
"Hey Shiva bathroom's open, time to get up," Rikku said loudly, but Shiva lied still as before. "C'mon, I know sleeping's great and all but we have to get to class." Rikku was now shaking her shoulder vigorously and only then did she start to wake. Grumbling obscenities under breath at getting woken up, Shiva turned to glare at whomever had woken her. Only to relax when she saw Rikku standing near her with a large grin, amused by her early morning irritation. "Up and at 'em."
However, when Shiva sat up and removed the thin sheet covering her, Rikku's demeanor changed. "Shiva!" she shrieked with a red face, "this is why you need proper clothes!" This outburst catching the attention of the other two occupants in the room. During the night Shiva's loose shirt had slipped off her shoulder, leaving her exposed. Rikku noticing that Red and I were turning to look, she grabbed the sheet and threw it over Shiva's head, covering her entirely.
Though we already saw the entire scene, and Red was not pleased. "I'm going to eat," Red said quickly, and turned a left even quicker.
Sighing I turned to the other two in the room, "just try not to be late." Rikku was scolding Shiva about her clothes still and Shiva seemed to be back to how she was yesterday. So I left those two alone in the room to get sorted out. Walking down the hall I sighed again, thinking that getting these people to be a team would be harder than I hoped. Now that I noticed that Shiva was making her partner uncomfortable, not on purpose but it still could be a problem. I will probably have to force them all together for some kind of team building exercise. I started to think of plans while I wandered the halls, waiting for class time.
~Red~
I'm not sure which is worse, humans or women. At least class should give me a break from them, speaking of which. Ammy walked into the class room and takes the seat next to me in the back row. She is looking tired, not that I can blame her dealing with those two. I thought just as Rikku ran into the room dragging Shiva behind her. And, she still doesn't wear clothes properly. Shiva seemed to have been pulled to class after getting dressed with her eyes closed. She forget the vest and her blouse was buttoned wrong. Rikku lead the way over to the seats on the far side of Ammy, near the aisle.
Classes went by uneventfully, I listened enough to know nothing important is being taught on the first day. Ammy seems to be a studier. As for the other two, I'm not sure how they got this far with their education. The blonde seemed to do everything except pay attention. The other looked to be seeping with her eyes open and yet still play with her hair. Why did I have to get stuck with those idiots, I thought as I got back to the room after classes finished. And, here I was thinking hunters and huntresses were serious warriors.
I changed into my casual clothes planning on going to the gym when Ammy stopped me at the door. "I need to discuss some things with you."
Feeling confused I asked, "ok, what is it?"
"I noticed your dislike of your teammates."
"Yeah, I wasn't really hiding it."
"Why do you dislike them?" she asked. Now I was a little confused as to how she did not understand what I did not like about them. "Is it just because they get on your nerves?" She continued while I was thinking.
I almost chuckled at her sincere, naivete, "yes they are annoying. But, the real problem is that the are humans."
She looked to be taken off guard by my statement, wrinkling her brow and tilting an ear in thought. After her moment of thought she spoke first to herself with, "I see." Then she turned to me and demanded, "even if that is the case. We will be together for the next four years, and to be a functional team I need you to give them a chance."
With that demand I started to get annoyed, "and what have they done to deserve my trust?"
"What have they done to show any ill intent toward you?" she countered.
"You should know very well what humans have done to us and what they are still continuing to do to us." With her reactions I was actually a bit concerned that she really may not know somehow.
"Yes I do know, and I know I takes time to earn someone's trust," she conceited. "However, I am telling you to just give them a chance to prove themselves. So far they have shown no interest in belittling the Faunus, and it will be better for all of us to at least try and get along."
I just snarled at her knowing that I would have to make an effort to tolerate the people I have been stuck with, either that or just leave. "Fine, I will try to be a member of the team, but they are still annoying." My statement seemed to satisfy her but I had a question of my own now. "Let me ask you something now."
"Of course," she replied.
"Are you asking me to do this only as our team leader or as a Faunus too?" This made her stop and think. After a moment of contemplation her ears folded back with a look of defeat. I will admit that is not a look I liked, but I needed to know how much I can trust her.
Before she could give a complete answer though, the door flew open as Rikku burst in pulling Shiva along again. "Hey guys we're back," but when she got a good look at us she toned it down and asked, "um, did I interrupt something?"
"I was just asking Red a few things, nothing important." Ammy replied, getting a unconvinced nod from Rikku. "Now that you two are here though, I need to discuss something with everyone," she continued before Rikku could pry.
Rikku pulled Shiva over to sit on her bed to sit, with Ammy across from them on hers, while I waited at the foot of the bed. "I think we need to have some kind of team meeting to get to know and understand one another. So we will all be comfortable living and working with each other."
I was annoyed that this would become some kind of regular thing, but also a little relieved that Ammy did not just spring this on me and gave me a little warning. Rikku actually seemed excited, but it's not like that is a surprise, and agreed, "sounds good to me." Shiva just nodded in response.
Ammy continued already knowing my stance, "then next time we all have some free time we can begin. And, no one needs to answer anything personal if the do not wish to. This will not be some kind of interrogation, just a way to start everyone off on the right foot." She received nods of understanding from each of us. Though I would not answer any incriminating questions either way, but this will be an easier way out of those questions. Ammy finished, "that is enough for now though, there is plenty of time to become familiar with each other." She added a quick glance at me after she finished.
I just rolled my eyes in return and said, "I am going to the gym."
While walking through the twilight to the gym I thought about our leader's behavior. She seemed to be in the dark and too optimistic toward humans. Certainly did not expect that much from a Faunus I would associate with. I also would need to find a way to avoid giving myself away.
