A/N: I wrote this chapter at home, then I lost the paper somewhere *facepalm* so this is off the top of my head.

I may edit it later, when I find the paper.

Just finished writing Chapter 3, going to type it right after this :D

Oh, and the blur of purple will be explained in the next chapter.

Let the story...COMMENCE!


It was an incredibly hot day out, it felt as if my sweat was sweating.

I was heading up towards Beacon, it looked exactly as I had dreamed.

My thoughts were full of detective thoughts: crimes, their doers, their story, and their punishment.

I was a murder-mystery writer. And some might say that I was an okay writer, but I never truly liked my stories. My family went behind my back and published my works without telling me.

I was deep into Cloud 9 when something hit me right in the face.

"Gahh!" I exclaimed, stumbling backwards a little and then falling onto my rear.

I look up to see a girl glaring at me.

"Watch where you're going!" She yelled, rubbing the back of her head.

"I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just..."

"You were just... What?" She said, cooling off a little.

"I..I was spacing out! I'm sorry for everything!" I said whilst standing up.

I brushed the fine layer of dirt off my face. As soon as I did so, the girl screamed like she was just run through with a blade.

I look up at her, eyes wide open. "What? What's the matter?"

"Y..Y-You're Nin Oppugno! The greatest, youngest female murder-mystery writer of all time!"

I blushed a little at the girl. "Ha. You're funny."

She picked up the book she was reading before I bumped into her and showed me the cover.

"See! It's your first book! I'm reading the entire series over again." She said, while shoving the book in my face.

"It's a rare occurrence to meet someone who has read any of my books, and an even rarer occurrence to meet someone who liked them."

She laughed. "Stop putting yourself down like that! Someone in Vale just bought your writing-desk for..oh, i don't remember, but they paid BIG bucks for your desk."

"My desk...? NO! My desk! GRRR! They sold my desk without telling me!"

I threw my face into my hands, thinking about my beloved desk and my idiotic adopted parents. But I didn't realize that my faunus ears had perked up out of my hair.

I lifted my head when the girl gasped. I realized that my cat ears were perked up, and quickly covered my head.

"Yes, I'm a faunus. No, I'm sorry, you can't have a refund." I said sadly while walking past the girl.

She grabbed my arm as I walked past her.

I looked at her in fear as she rose a hand.

I flinched expecting a punch, but never met one.

I opened my eyes to see that she had removed a bow from atop her head, revealing two black cat-faunus ears.

I gasped. I had never met another faunus before. Growing up in a faunusless household and going to school in a faunusless town was hard on me.

Tears gathered in the corners of my eyes as I hugged the girl. She was confused, but patted me on my back.

"I-I'm" *sniffle* "I'm sorry, I just..."

"No, it's fine, I understand." I could tell that she was only saying that to make me feel better, but it sure worked.

"Look," she said, retying her bow, "if you ever need anything - help with school, maybe some book ideas - I'll probably be in the library, assuming they have one." She said with a smile.

"Thanks." I smiled back. I gestured towards her book with a half-smile, "Would you like an autograph?"

Her eyes opened wide, as if I just asked to marry her.

"Oh. My. God. Yes!" She said, at the last word, she shoved her book towards me.

I took the book and pulled a pen out of my pant pocket.

After signing the book, she giggled like a school girl, hugged me, thanked me, and walked off.

After she hugged me, I was frozen, I was back on Cloud 9, but my thoughts weren't about crimes or detectives, my thoughts were about this nameless girl.

I came back to Earth after feeling someone touching me inappropriately from behind.

I gasped as I turned around, seeing a blur of purple stretch off into the distance.

As soon as the blur was out of sight, an explosion went off behind me.

I turned to see two girls at the source of the explosion, one in red and black, and one in white.


After the brief welcoming ceremony, everyone bolted to the dining hall, absolutely starving.

I sat near one of the corners of the hall, eating (or so I thought).

I didn't realize it, but I was staring at this cutely-average black-haired boy, who was sitting across from some student in a full suit of armor. After what seemed like a few seconds, the boy looked over at me. I frantically turned towards my plate, seeing that my previously hot food was ice-cold.

So this is what my parents meant by hormones. I thought, my thoughts back to the nameless girl.


A/N: So, you now know the E (Eden), the N (Nin), and the Y (Yllaster)...So who's the V?

And what is this purple blur?

duh Duh duh DUH!

Stay tuned to find out these and many more, right after this commercial break!
