Kyle's Adventures in Remnant
A/N: Votes are the same as always. The deadline for this is after Season 1 is over. The poll will be closed then.
Chapter 5: The formation of Team RWBYK.
Ruby was falling towards us from the sky.
"Oh my God!" I was getting prepared to catch her, and out of nowhere, Jaune was flying through the air, and he collided with her, making them land in a tree nearby. I sweatdropped. Damn it… I was kinda hoping to… wait. Was I doing that JUST for Ruby?! Yang was still surprised.
Blake asked, "Was that your sister?" Yang nodded in surprise. I ran to the tree,
"Ruby! Jaune! Are you two okay?! I asked them. Ruby's eyes were all swirly, then she came to.
"Yeah! I'm fine!" She said. She was about to get out of the tree when we heard some roaring in the distance. An Ursa was running in, and while it roared, I heard the crazy girl's "WOOHOO!" from the clearing. The Ursa collapsed to the ground, and Ren had gotten off of the other side of it's back.
"Aww… it's broken." She said.
Ren said, "Nora… Never do that again." She suddenly disappeared.
"Did she just run in on an Ursa?" Blake asked as Yang attempted to keep her cool. The girl ran up to the relics, and grabbed a rook piece.
"I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!" She sung this as she danced around with the relic on her head.
"NORA!" Ren yelled, getting Nora's attention.
"Coming Ren!" Nora said, heading back to Ren. She dropped the rook piece into her hand.
"Wow…" I said. This girl was weird. And yet, I was okay with that. I seem to attract weird. I ran over to where Ruby and Jaune were, and saw that Jaune was hanging upside down.
"Jaune! Need help?"
Jaune said, "I'm fine…"
"What kind of trouble did you get into that your partner had to toss you all the way out here?"
"My partner didn't toss me over here! It was a scorpion-type Grimm!" Scorpion-type? Those exist? Whatever.
"We'll get you back to your partner. For now, I can get you both down!" Ruby dove downwards, then landed on top of me. She was on my back, and I had swirly eyes.
"Nice job, Kyle." She told me.
"My back…" I said, and got back up. Will I ever NOT be clumsy? She went back to Yang.
"Ruby!" Yang said.
"Yang!" Ruby said. Then…
"Nora~~!" Nora said in a sing-song voice. I got back to them, and Yang gave me a smile of approval. I just thumbs-upped her back.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DITCHED ME!" I heard Weiss yell out of nowhere. I looked up, and saw a giant bird Grimm. It looked like the small one Ruby shot, but it was clearly a much larger bird.
Ruby yelled back, "I SAID JUMP!"
"Weiss is your partner?!" I asked her. Ruby nodded.
"We have a lot of kinks to work out, but for now, we're okay." She told me. I shook my head.
"Oh well." I said.
"She's gonna fall." Yang said.
"She'll be fine…" Ruby said.
"She's falling." Ren stated. Weiss had been falling. By then, Jaune had got to his feet from the branch, and jumped, grabbing Weiss as she fell.
"Just dropping in?" Jaune asked. Weiss looked happy, but then they looked down.
"Oh no." Jaune said. They hugged each other, then fell. I saw their swords floating in the air above them for a few seconds before Jaune landed on his gut, and Weiss landed on top of him, like Ruby did with me.
"My hero." Weiss sarcastically stated.
"My back…" Jaune said, as Weiss got off of him. Yang and Ruby looked at me funny.
"What?"
"You and Jaune are practically twin brothers." Ruby told me. Yang snickered a bit. Blake just looked indifferent about it. I gave them both a glare. Then, the gladiator girl from earlier showed up, with a giant scorpion Grimm on her tail. Jaune wasn't kidding!
"Did she just run in with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Blake asked this time. Yang finally had enough, exploding with fire like before. I hid behind Ruby when this happened.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! CAN EVERYBODY CALM DOWN BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE CRAZY HAPPENS?!" She yelled. Everyone had stopped moving. Everyone got back together as a group, and the gladiator girl was knocked forward to be right in front of us.
"Good. Now we can all die together." Yang told us. The scorpion was still coming for us.
"No way. We can take them." I said.
"I got him!" Ruby yelled, pulling her scythe out. She zoomed ahead to attack the Scorpion, and she slammed her blade into the scorpion's face. It did nothing, even when she fired some rounds into the scoprion's head. It swung with it's giant claw at Ruby, knocking her away. She then decided to take off. I got over being scared of Yang's rage long enough to see that she was in trouble. I charged my fists up, rushing ahead.
"YAAAAHHHHH!" I made a battle cry, charging for the Death Stalker, and jumped above Ruby. She looked upwards, seeing me charge for it. I saw a claw swinging for me, and it bashed me in the side. I slid away from the impact, and landed in the side of a tree. Ruby gasped, and the Bird Grimm shot feathers at Ruby as she was running. One of the feathers got her in the cape, and she was trapped. Yang tried to save her, but got blocked off by a feather landing in front of her. The Death Stalker caught up to Ruby, and was about to use it's tail stinger to impale her.
Yang yelled, "RUBY!" But she was saved by Weiss!
Weiss said, "You are SO childish." I looked, seeing she built an ice wall, capturing the Death Stalker's tail. I smiled to myself. So, Princess did have a heart somewhere in her after all. I ran in their direction.
Ruby asked, "Weiss?"
Weiss spoke despite Ruby talking. "And dimwitted, and hyperactive! And don't even get me started on your fighting style!" My grin turned to a small frown.
Weiss continued on. "I suppose I can be a bit… difficult. But if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together." I smiled again. "So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be… nicer."
Ruby said, "I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this."
Weiss told her, "You're fine." She saw me then. "And you… I still don't know how I feel about you." I rolled my eyes.
"You're getting better." I told her. She walked off, slightly scoffing. I ripped Ruby's cloak out of the feather, and Yang got to us, hugging us both.
"I'm SO happy you two are okay!" Yang said. I gave her a thumbs up, and Ruby hugged her back. The bird was circling above us.
Jaune said, "Uh, guys, It's coming back for another run… What do we do?"
Weiss replied, "There is no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us."
"Princess is right." I said. "We can't just stay here and wait for it."
Ruby said, "Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's no point in fighting these things." Everyone else seemed to be in agreement with me.
Jaune said, "Run and live. That's an idea I can get behind." Jaune grabbed a golden rook piece, and Ruby picked the golden knight piece. As much as I disagreed with not fighting them, our odds weren't great. We then decided to move out as the Death Stalker pulled it's tail out of the ice wall. Ruby led the way as we were running for an escape route from the two giant Grimm. Yang was looking forward for a moment, grinning, and Blake and I stopped to see what was up.
"What's wrong?" Blake asked her. I gave her a questioning look, then followed her gaze, seeing she was looking at Ruby. I smiled at this.
"Nothing. Let's go." Yang ran ahead, and Blake and I exchanged smiles, then ran behind her. We split up to attack the giant bird Grimm. Ren and Nora went to one group, Jaune and the gladiator girl went to another, Ruby, Yang, and I stuck together, and finally, Weiss and Blake took the last post. The bird cawed at us.
Yang said, "Well! That's great!" As it cawed. Behind us, the Death Stalker charged out from the trees.
Jaune yelled, "Oh man, run!" We all began to run. Ren said, "Nora! Distract it!" Nora smiled, dodging some more feather fire from the bird, and she pulled out what looked like a grenade launcher, and began launching pipes at the bird. The pipes were hitting it, causing pink explosions on it as we moved away. The Death Stalker continued to close in as Ren and Blake slashed at it while Weiss used her magical circle to boost herself to get her and Nora away from the Grimm. We continued to make a break for it, coming to a gorge were there was a tower with many rock bridges to traverse across.
The gladiator girl got her gun ready, saying, "Go go go!", and fired at the Death Stalker, with Jaune, Yang, Ruby, Nora, Weiss and I going ahead. Ren shot from his pistols at the Death Stalker, and Blake begun to get her sword ready to fight the Death Stalker. The bird Grimm tackled the bridge we were on, forcing our group to split apart. Ruby got her rifle out to shoot at the bird, and I transformed my fists into their cannon modes to take aim at the bird. I shot once I had it in my sights, but my orb grazed it's back.
"Damn it…" I whispered, reloading my gauntlet immediately. So much for being a crackshot…
Jaune said, "We gotta get back over there!" The gladiator girl and Ren were shooting at the Death Stalker, and Blake whipping her sword around at it. The Death Stalker had knocked Blake down as gladiator chick continued to shoot, transitioning to her lance mode, and Ren hopped at it.
Nora replied, "Let's do this!" Jaune looked down.
"Yeah, but uh… I can't make that jump." He said. Nora grinned at him for a moment, then transformed her grenade launcher into a hammer. She spun it around, then hopped, and smashed the edge of the broken bridge, launching Jaune, then she launched herself with a trigger click.
Jaune said, "No no no no no!" As he flew.
"WHEEEE!" Nora said as she flew. I saw Nora smash the Death Stalker on the head, grinning for a bit. Nora may be weird, but she is entertaining to watch! She then made a point-blank explosion on the Death Stalker's head as she jumped back, knocking Blake off the edge of the bridge.
"BLAKE!" I yelled. I was about to do something, but got pulled back by Yang.
"She has a long ribbon, remember?! She can grapple out of it!" She told me. Ruby and Weiss were already going to higher ground. I got too busy watching Jaune and the others to really fight, apparently. Yang ran ahead, and I followed behind her, with my fists still in cannon mode for now. I knew I'd have to make another shot. As Yang said, Blake grappled her way into the way of the bird, and when the bird tried to eat her whole, she vanished, then got on top of the bird, and ran along it's back, slashing it as she did so. Yang, Ruby, Weiss, and I got to the top of the tower, and Blake landed next to us as well.
"That bird is stronger than it looks!" Blake said.
Yang replied, "Then we'll just have to hit it with everything we got!" Her gauntlets made a click noise. Weiss summoned some blue energy, Ruby transformed her gun back into a scythe, and Blake transformed her katana into a pistol. I took aim again. Weiss threw the blue energy attacks at the bird, Yang punched the air, hurling the bullets at the bird, Blake shot multiple bullets, Ruby followed suit with her, and I took my aim, with both of my gauntlets. I was not going to graze it again. The bullets and the energy blasts from Weiss all were hitting or grazing it, forcing the bird to go in a straight path at us.
Yang yelled to me, "What are you waiting for?!"
"My cannons are single shot only!" I yelled. I fired both of my orbs this time, and they exploded right in the bird's face, putting it greatly off course, and made it struggle to readjust its flight path. I put both of my cannons down to my belt, and waited for the auto-reload to fire again, but by the time I reloaded, the bird was right in our faces. Ruby grabbed me, then went at super speed as Weiss and Blake also dodged. The bird tackled the tower, forcing us to evade. Ruby let go of me to jump. My auto-reload on my belt was done, and I elected to use my pulses to blast myself back up to the top as the others also hopped on the rocks to get back up. Blake ran up a wall, Yang was blasting herself up with her bullets, Ruby blasted herself up as well, and Weiss used her magic circle. Ruby, Weiss, and I landed next to each other as Blake landed far to our left, and Yang was on a pillar to our right, still throwing shots at the bird.
Weiss said, "None of this is working!"
I replied, "But you have to admit, I fired a pretty good shot there…" I was panting, trying to get my breath back. I looked up, and Ruby looked like she was already plotting something.
Ruby said, "I have a plan! You two cover me!" She jumped off, and Weiss charged ahead. I just followed behind her, running as fast as I could. Yang continued to hurl bullets at the bird, and it charged at Yang, attempting to gobble her up. She jumped into it, holding the beak open with her left hand as she fired with her right.
"I! HOPE! YOU'RE! HUNGRY!" She yelled as she fired at the inside of the bird's mouth. The bird was flying for the wall as she fired. She hopped out of the bird's mouth, and it tackled the Cliffside. Yang landed on the ground below, seeing Ruby and Blake were in position for something while I was at the center. Weiss then jumped at the bird and got her sword ready. When she got to the bird, she struck it's tail, and trapped it to the cliff with ice. She then flipped back to us. Blake got her pistol ready, and with a gunshot, hurled it towards Yang, who caught it and held it around the pillar opposite Blake's. Ruby grabbed me.
Ruby asked, "How powerful are your pulses?"
I answered, "They launch me pretty far! Why?" She grinned.
"Then this'll definitely work. Grab onto the other end of my scythe!" I did as she said, and she used another gunshot to get both of us into position. When Weiss got to her spot, she made a magic circle in the air, then made the color change from white to black. The ribbon Blake was using caught Ruby and I, and we got loaded into Weiss' circle.
"Whoa." I said. "I see where you're going with this now." I told her. Ruby smiled.
"Of course you would come up with this idea." Weiss said.
"Think you can make the shot?" Ruby asked Weiss.
Weiss responded, "Hmph. Can I?" Ruby cocked her eyebrow.
"Can-"
"Of course I can!" Weiss said. Ruby looked forward.
"If you miss, Princess, I will NEVER be nice to you."
"As if I care." Weiss fired us, and then I got up slightly, and blasted us forward with my pulse blasts all the way to the bird's neck. I hopped to the top of the bird's head as Ruby's scythe caught the area between the bottom of its beak and its neck. Weiss created more circles along the edge of the cliff, all the way to the top. Ruby then fired bullets and ran all the way to the top of the cliff as I held on to the bird's neck. When we got to the top, Ruby flipped upwards, and with one final shot cut the bird's head off. The head and I, who was still on it, landed right next to her, and the rest of the bird's body fell down the Cliffside. I looked ahead, and saw that Jaune, the gladiator chick, Ren, and Nora killed the Death Stalker, and they were assessing their situation. I smiled to myself. We just took out our first Grimm together. As a true team. Ruby's cloak was sending off rose petals.
"WOW! THAT… WAS… AWESOME! Let's do that again!" I yelled. Ruby gave me a weird look.
"What?" I asked her. She laughed.
"Not any time soon perhaps." She told me.
"You're probably right." I told her. I held out my hand for a handshake, but got a big hug instead.
"You were SO good today!"
"Thanks…" I told her. She held it for a few moments longer than I would have liked, though.
"Excuse me, can I have my arms back?"
"Sorry." She said to me. She let go. We made our way back to Beacon, where the teams were all presented and chosen.
At the ceremony…
Ozpin called up the first team. "Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. You four retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL. Lead by Cardin Winchester." The audience clapped for them as they left the stage. I was with Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang.
I asked, "So… five person team. How do you all feel about this?!" I was getting giddy.
Ruby said, "This'll be so much fun!" Weiss shook her head.
She said, "Well… I hope we can out our differences aside, at least for now, Kyle." I shrugged.
"It'll be cool, Prin-"
"And you can stop calling me Princess. It's Weiss." She gave me an evil look. I held up my hands in a peace offering, and she backed down.
"Well…" Blake was about to say. "It's my first time in a long time with a team, actually. I'll be looking forward to this." Yang smiled.
Yang said, "And with five of us instead of the original four, there is no other team better than us!" She put her hands behind her head, and looked very chill about all of this.
Ruby asked me, "How do you feel, Kyle?" I looked around for a second.
"Well, Ruby, Weiss, I have to tell you a few things when we get all settled in, but for now, let's enjoy the crowning achievement." I told them. Ruby and Weiss seemed to agree with me.
"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR." So that was her name. Pyrrha Nikos? Hm. Nora jumped Ren immediately as she heard what was said by Ozpin.
"Lead by… Jaune Arc." Ozpin continued.
"What? Me?!" Jaune asked, obviously surprised.
"Congratulations, young man." Ozpin said. He got punched by Pyrrha in the shoulder, but fell down immediately afterwards. She helped Jaune up, as me and the girls walked up to the stage.
"And our five person team for this semester. Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long, and Sapphire Kyle Tesla. The five of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBYK. Lead by… Ruby Rose." My mouth hung open, then my head hung in shame.
"I'm so proud of you!" Yang said to her. I smiled genuinely, pulling my head back up, and Weiss looked surprised at this. Maybe I can get used to Weiss being on my team after all, what with everyone else to outnumber her in an argument.
"Looks like things are shaping up to be… an interesting year." Ozpin said. As the girls and I left… I exploded.
"GAAAHHHHHHH!" I yelled.
"What's wrong, Kyle?" Yang asked.
"HE CALLED ME SAPPHIRE! UGH! I HATE THAT NAME!" I yelled. Yang restrained me again.
"Easy there, Kyle! If you don't want to be called that, we won't call you that." She told me.
"Thanks." I said. She let go.
"That is an unusual name." Blake said.
"How'd you end up with that?" Weiss asked.
"Well… it started when I was born. Mom wanted me to be called that, but my Dad wanted none of it. He insisted on Kyle, because to him, K, his first initial, with Rui spelled backwards would be alright. But since Kiur doesn't sound as good, he made it Kyle, to make it sound like an olden name, from before the war. They argued, and while Mom agreed to add Kyle as my name, she got the last laugh and made it my middle name. I REFUSE to be called Sapphire."
Ruby said, "I like it." I did blush a little, but it disappeared from my face fast.
"Thanks, Ruby, but I would rather be called Kyle."
"Got it." She told me. We had made our way to the dorm room to drop off our stuff. When we got there, we only saw four beds.
"Uh oh." Ruby said. Our mouths all dropped. Did Ozpin seriously forget to add an extra bed?! Blake regained her composure the fastest. She saw a note.
"Dear students…
I did not have enough time to add an extra bed to the room. You will need to come up with different arrangements until I can order a new bed for you. Good luck on your schoolwork.
Ozpin." Blake sighed.
Weiss asked, "How bad is it?" Blake turned back to us.
"We'll have to wait until Ozpin can find another bed." She said. We all looked at each other. This was going to be a predicament.
Weiss asked, "Kyle, do you still have your sleeping bag?" I gave her a look.
"I am not sleeping on the floor again!" I said.
"Geez, Sapphire!" She said. My eye twitched.
"Say… that… again." I said slowly. Yang got in between Weiss and I, preventing us from attacking each other.
"Hold on. I got an idea." She said. She left the room. The rest of us looked to each other. Weiss, Blake, and I turned to Ruby.
Ruby said, "Sorry, guys. I got nothing." She shrugged, and we looked at each other. Yang came back with some straws.
"Let's use these!" She said happily. There were four straws.
"So…" I asked her, wondering what would happen. Yang showed that one of the straws was colored with black marker at the tip.
"It's simple. Whoever gets the short straw has to bunk with Kyle." She said. Our eyes all widened. WHOA! WHOA!
"YANG! Hold the fricking phone!" I said. Yang rolled her eyes like she did nothing wrong or inconceivable.
"Relax, guys. It's only until we get an extra bed. Plus. We're all equally at risk." She told us. Weiss had other opinions. She stuck her tongue out, repulsed that Yang even thought of that. Blake looked indifferent, but I felt uneasiness from her, and Ruby just looked plain shy about it. Why was Yang so open to this?! Yang presented all four straws to everyone. "Your turn first, Ruby!" She said. Ruby hastily ran up to her, and pulled up a straw. Weiss walked up very slowly, and pulled one herself.
"Boy B.O…." She muttered. I rolled my eyes. Blake was the last one to walk up and pull one, but she did it calmly.
"OK, time to show it!" Ruby showed hers first. There was no marker on it. She sighed. I raised my eyebrows. Weiss showed hers, and there was no mark. She screamed for joy.
"YES! No B.O.! HAHAHAHA!" I would be worried about B.O. myself, but geezus. Blake and Yang looked at each other. Blake gulped, and showed her straw. There was no mark. Yang showed hers, revealing a mark.
Yang said, "Well, Kyle, looks like we're bunkmates!" I laughed nervously.
"Cool." I said, putting my hands in my pockets. Yang gave me a look.
"Yang, it isn't you, it's just… I kinda want my own bed." I said to her.
"You can share with me until we find one. It's no big deal." She told me. I accepted it. As soon as we get a new bed, I'm moving to it.
"O-okay." I said, still sounding hesitant. Yang just rolled her eyes, then smiled. I pulled up my bag, and took my scroll out of my bag. There were many unanswered calls. From my… mother. The four of them all huddled up behind me, as it rang again.
"Oh! I totally forgot to call her!" I yelled. I picked it up. "Hello?"
"SAPPHIRE KYLE TESLA?! WHERE IN REMNANT ARE YOU?! THE ATLAS GUARDS ARE LOOKING EVERYWHERE!" Yep. My Mom.
"Hi, Mom. I'm at Beacon."
"Still?! Why are you still there?!"
"I'm attending Beacon now!" I yelled hastily. All of this was new to Ruby and Weiss, but Blake and Yang knew what was going on.
Yang told them, "He ran away from home to find his Dad's whereabouts, and never told his Mom." Ruby nodded, and Weiss just listened.
"YOU'RE ATTENDING BEACON NOW?! ON WHO'S AUTHORITY?!" Mom yelled.
"The Headmaster's. Professor Ozpin." I kept my voice low.
"The plan was to send you to Signal after you graduated High School! Then you could become a Huntsman!"
"I couldn't wait anymore, Mom."
"You're leaving behind everything!"
"I am not. I have a team, and we're all happy together!" I yelled. Even Weiss was taken aback by what I said.
"What about E-"
"I don't care. My Dad is more important to me than anything, and you. Know. That." I kept my voice firm. Mom was still just freaking out.
"I know his disappearance has led you over the brink. I really do. But you didn't have to skip past every year at Signal just to-"
"Ozpin sees talent in me. He's going to help me bring it out." I told her. My eyes became very focused and tense. I looked back to my teammates. All four of them. "Until I graduate Beacon and find my Dad, They're my family." My tone was absolute with her. She was silent for a good minute, and the others must have been just as astonished as my Mom. I smiled to them, and Ruby was the first to smile back. Everyone else slowly followed suit.
"Now, Mom, I love you. You mean the world to me. You are my only real family left. That I know of. My Dad's siblings live far away, and my brother and sister don't always have nice things to say about me. I didn't do anything to make Dad disappear. Torchwick did." I let loose a small tear, but I was hoping the girls didn't see it. My efforts to conceal it failed, though. Ruby walked up to me. I looked into her eyes, and she felt for the scroll. I handed it to her.
"Hi, Mrs. Tesla. I'm his team leader, Ruby Rose. Yes, daughter of Summer Rose. I know how hard it must be for you, but he wants to follow his dreams and stuff. You know what I mean, right? He reminds me of me." I raised my eyebrow.
"But he means well. I'll watch over him. Trust me. You have nothing to worry about. In fact…" She gave the scroll to Yang. Yang took it.
"Hello-o-o-oooo!" Yang cheerfully said.
"I'm Ruby's sister, Yang. Older sister, yes. I'll help keep an eye on him, too. In fact, he's one of my two partners. I have to! Not that I'm not used to it. I almost raised Ruby myself! Well, Dad was there, too, of course. But hey! Gotta do something when your Mom's gone, right? Yeah… Don't worry. He's in good hands." She handed the scroll over to Blake.
Blake said, "Hi?" She pulled the scroll away from her ears for a moment, then pulled it back.
"I'm Blake. His other partner. You have my word that he will be just fine. I was a strong warrior where I used to live, and you have nothing to worry about." She handed the scroll to Weiss.
Weiss asked, "Huh?"
Yang told her, "Say something, anything!" Weiss looked around, then put the scroll to her ear.
"Hello. I am Weiss Schnee of the Schnee Dust Company. I- Yes. I am on your son's team. Since I am the second-in-command, I will ensure that your son stays on the straight and narrow as long as he is at Beacon Academy. And- Yes, I'll help him with his schoolwork. Yes, I'll ensure he gets A's and B's. Yes, he won't go out with any girl unless he knows them well first." I snickered at that part. Weiss gave me a 'WTF' look.
"I'm sorry?" She asked. Mom spoke more, then she said, "Yes, I'll do that." I got the scroll back.
"Well, hon, sounds like you got a good team behind you there. A Schnee, the daughters of Taiyang Xiao Long and Summer Rose, and an accomplished fighter in her own right." She sounded happy now.
"Thanks, Mom."
"You got insanely luck there, having such a good quartet of people with you. Well, now that I know you're in good hands… I'll leave you to it."
"R-really?!" I asked her.
"Yes. Just call me at least once a week. If you forget, I'll call you." My eyes got wider.
"I-I promise."
"Good. I'll let you finish setting up for your first day of classes. I love you, son."
"I love you, too. Bye."
"Goodbye." I hung up. That went slightly better than I thought it would. I looked back to them. Weiss asked, "So… did you mean all that about us being your new family?"
"Yes." I said it without hesitation.
"Wow." She responded back. Ruby's smile got bigger.
"Well, I guess that's a wrap, then!" She said.
"It would be wise to turn in for the night." Blake told us. "We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Yang walked up next to me. I immediately got worried.
"Well then… I guess we need to pick beds." She said. I sighed.
"Yeah. Let's." I told her.
To be continued.
A/N: Hmm… That was slightly easy for Kyle's, I mean Sapphire's…
Kyle: "WHAT?!"
Me: "Oh s*!" (I got zapped.)
Kyle: "NEVER… EVER CALL ME SAPPHIRE! EVER!"
