Chapter 37:

Juan Arc sat in a meeting room prepping team JNPR. "I want us all to be prepared. I don't want anyone to be ignorant. I've had to learn the hard way, multiple times, that ignorance is not bliss."

Pyrrha sat reclining in a desk only half listening to the words being spoken by her leader. A lot was on her mind, most was not losing the top spot for strength to Yang. Over the months of their first year at Beacon both Yang and Pyrrha had mad It somewhat of a challenge; both to see how long they would stay deadlocked at the top, and who would fall behind first. Pyrrha sighed completely tuning out Juan, Ozpin had already told her the situation, since she was the only one present who held the top spot for strength.

"Yang's not here. Isn't that right? Um Pyrrha are you paying attention?" Juan asked.

Pyrrha

No I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy thinking about how I could top Yang. The problem was she was somehow gaining massive amounts of muscle, and strength. Which was a problem since I was trying to be ranked first in strength. Yang and I were deadlocked for first in strength, and we still are, but back a few months ago those in 3rd, 4th, and 5th weren't far behind. And now only Blake, part of team RWBY, was even remotely close to me and Yang. 4th and 5th? Long they've fallen behind the mighty three.

"I would know if Yang was here. Trust me I would know. And to answer your questions; Yes that's right, Yang isn't here. And no I wasn't paying attention." I said bluntly.

"What? Why not?" Juan asked on the verge of being hurt. I knew this because I liked him, and I could read his moods pretty easily.

"Ozpin already told me. And I'm sure he's over at the RWBY dorm telling Yang, *sigh* and probably Blake, about it." At this point I got up from the desk I was sitting in and walked out the door. I leaned my head back in and said, "But please continue to tell the rest of our team about it. Wouldn't want to leave anyone in the dark."

"Ha. Very funny Pyrrha." Juan said. I left chuckling, when really it was a cruel joke. And it wasn't funny. If anyone was left in the dark now? That wouldn't be good for anyone but the Grimm's.

Yang

"What?" Blake said, very confused.

I wasn't confused, after all Ozpin had already told me this. He was only explaining this again for my girlfriend. Who just happened to be the 3rd strongest, and pretty close to the 2nd and 1st, student in the school. I looked at Blake, her amber eyes were cute. That cuteness was a foolish assumption, except for me because I'm her girlfriend. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for strength was actually of the whole school. Pyrrha and I were deadlocked in 1st, whoever won the struggle would end up in 2nd. Blake held an undisputed 3rd, far ahead of any of her competitors. I thought quickly, but Ozpin had responded fairly quickly to Blake's confused look, so his reply interrupted my thoughts. It was the third time my girlfriend had been confused.

"Let me explain this…I-" Ozpin began.

"That's not the best of ideas right now. She's been confused three times already; first why would Ozpin talk to us, second would Ozpin be coming here, third what." I interrupted.

"That's all good and well. Have you had anything? Blake? I asked you if you have had anything in the last little while." Ozpin said.

Blake shook her head. Coming out of a stupor she said, "Caffeine? No I have not. After all I just, swooned. And that's not good for coherent thought."

"Well let's get some…" I said, Ozpin shook his head. "Fine. Then I'll make some. You sir can sit down there." I said pointing to a hard chair, I had brought here for the very purpose of making the headmaster as uncomfortable as possible.

I walked over to Blake and put my hands on her stomach. Leaning in close I whispered, "You can sit anywhere, my kitten."

Blake giggled nervously, so I licked her cheek like a cat. This only made her mumble one word, sex, which surprised me. "What, seriously? That's all you can thing about? And at I time like this, honestly?"

"Of course you…sexy beast. Now go get the fucking coffee, before I really say something truly embarrassing. And not this quietly." Blake whispered back to me.

"Ha. You. Are. Funny. Really though, I'm gonna get the coffee now." I said removing my hands from her stomach, and twirled to face Ozpin. "If you'll excuse me, I'll go get the stimulating beverages."

As I walked towards the kitchen our dorm had (convenient right?) I contemplated. Still contemplating, ha just kidding. I really went to the school kitchens to brew a pot and bring it back. I was nervous about leaving Blake along. Not that Ozpin was there, but because my girlfriend seemed a bit…uh…not in control of herself shall we say. I had noticed earlier that she was staring at me. Not just at my face, oh no. Her eyes had roamed all of my body, like she wanted nothing more than to fuck me. Trust me when I say thing, I wanted to fuck Blake. But right now wasn't the time. I then came upon the school kitchen, and stopped, looking it over.

The kitchen was okay looking, for a kitchen that is. It had all the standard modern appliances that you would expect. Now where was that fucking coffee, as Blake called it? Yep that was it. I found some sitting on a shelf, triumphantly I snatched some up and prepped a pot. I thought about it and decided to use a giant coffee maker. Which was basically a giant ass version of the regular one, which could fit a jug thereby allowing someone to make more at one time.

After prepping a jug of steaming hot coffee I continued back. The walk back was brisk, but not fast because I didn't want to spill any of the precious coffee. And I knew Blake would need some, if not all, if she was to understand Ozpin's words. I was able to sit through it, but Ozpin had a long explanation and I didn't know if my girlfriend could handle it in her current…state of mind.

"When that is done I need you to…" Ozpin said as I walked in the door. I tuned him out and concentrated on the task of hunting down cups. I glanced briefly at Blake during my hunt. She looked fine, but still confused so I hurried. I went so fast I had to hand Blake the Jug, that way I wouldn't spill any coffee.

Blake, still paying attention to Ozpin, looked at me. I could tell she couldn't wait to repeat that closeness I had allowed before I went to get the coffee. But she didn't go for it because Ozpin was in the middle of talking. The headmaster hated it when you weren't pay attention to him while he was talking. I finally found two cups and turned around, they were both staring at me. Thinking I did something wrong I froze.

The headmaster was growling. Shit. "You two know I hate it when people don't pay attention when I'm talking. You Yang should listen, even though you've heard my earlier report, I have more information you should know."

Ozpin went on and explained his new information. Blake looked at me, confused. "What. The. Fuck. Did. He. Just. Say. Yang?" Blake said.

"Well ha, to translate: Someone is looking for Ruby. A large force of Soldiers, heavily armed, have set up silent camp inside Emerald forest behind RWBY dorm room. They lie in wait for the terrorist, Ruby, to appear. And when Ruby does appear? The supposedly 4 dozen Soldiers will then kill her, using anything and everything to take her down." And with those ominous words, I then handed Blake her coffee and started drinking mine.
