Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Monty Oum (RIP) along with Rooster Teeth.
"Hiding from Adam won't help you Blake... And it won't help others... We'll talk more in the morning before we both go back to Beacon. There's a spare room over there. You'll be free to use it for tonight. The bathroom is over there is you feel you might need to go during the night."
"Thank you." Blake then stood up and walked into the spare bedroom. When she left Aodh deeply sighed.
Several hours later while still in the night there was movement coming from the spare room. Aodh by this stage was fast asleep and did not wake. Once Blake had left his apartment she made her way outside the building only to hear a voice speak out to her.
"I knew you'd look better with out the bow."
Volume 1: Chapter 8: The Missing Stray.
When Aodh woke the next day he found his apartment to be extremely quite. Especially since there was a teenage girl sleeping in his spare room. He knocked on the door to his spare bedroom.
"Blake wake up." After a few moments there was still no response. "Blake come on..." Still no response.
Aodh thinking something was wrong went to open the door but was surprised to find it unlocked. By the look of the bed sheet it appeared Blake never even slept in the bed. Aodh stared at the bed for a few moments as he let out a sigh. "Blake you'll have to learn running away won't solve things... They only make things worse."
Aodh then left to get a shower. Even though it was a Saturday he still had a class to teach. Thankfully it was for the second year students so he hoped he was going to have an easier time teaching the seconds years students then the first years.
After a quick shower and change Aodh made his way back to Beacon. Once he arrived he found Ruby running around the academy's campus. Ruby wasn't looking in front of her as she ran and was about to crash into Aodh when he caught her causing Ruby to jump in surprise. "Woah there Rubes! Slow down."
"Aodhihavetofindblakeshedidntcomebacklastnightandimreallyworriedsheleftusandthatmeans!" Ruby rambling was stopped by Aodh who looked at his younger cousin in confusion.
"Alright. I didn't catch a word of that so say it again but slower this time, okay?" Ruby nodded and explained once more to Aodh.
"Blake never came back last night and i'm really worried."
"It's okay Ruby. I ran into Blake last night after I left. We talked for a bit and she stayed in my place. But she left before I woke up this morning." The last part had Ruby now looking even more worried but she found Aodh placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry litl' squirt. She just needs a bit of time and space. She should be back home tonight. Just give her today to let her think to herself."
"I suppose... Thanks Aodh." Ruby now looking somewhat reassured thanked Aodh before she left.
As Aodh was about to walk into the arena he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. "So... You're our new teacher right?"
Aodh turned around to find a young woman dressed in a long, light brown shirt with a dark brown cincher wrapped around her waist. She stood roughly an inch shorter than Aodh but he could see she was wearing high heeled boots giving her an extra four inches in height. "Yeah, why what's up?" Aodh asked but he didn't get a quick response.
Instead she looked at Aodh's clothes. Aodh looked confused by this but soon found her giving him a thumbs up. "I like the shirt and gloves. I'm guessing it's fire dust woven into the fabric. Can be dangerous but when it works it's something else but... Lose the beard. It doesn't suit you." Aodh rubbed his beard as he pointed it out. He'd spent his time in rehab growing it out. Now he was used to it he didn't want to lose it.
Aodh was now even more confused by this girl. "Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I didn't catch your name."
"It's Coco Adel. I'm leader of team CFVY. We're a second year team." The now named Coco answered.
"Well then i'm guessing you are concerned about what happened to the first year students."
"Oh no that asshole had it coming to him. I'm just disappointing it wasn't me. The real reason i'm here is because Ruby and Yang from Team RWBY never stopped talking about you coming here to teach. I just wanted to see what you looked like."
"So you know Team RWBY..." Aodh then started to chuckle. "It's nice to see your taking your role as an upperclassman to the first year students serious."
"Well they are more friends with my team mate Velvet but I try help them out when I can. Although there leader does have a slight warped style of fashion... She's a sweet girl though."
"I'm guessing the fashion statement is over her red hood." Coco nodded in agreement. "Yeah she's always been like that. But anyway I think your class is about to start so you'd be best getting ready."
"Well it's only team CFVY today as the other second year teams are out in missions. Plus we rotate this extra day of training with other teams. Next week it's gonna be another team here while we'll most likely be on a mission." Coco stated to Aodh.
"So the rules changed since I was last in Beacon. Usually once you get into your third year you go out in missions. But I suppose I'll have to ask Professor Goodwitch if there have been any other changes since I was last here." Aodh thought to himself out load as he and Coco walked into the arena.
Upon entering he found the rest of Team CFVY there waiting already in there combat gear the same as Coco. Aodh couldn't help but smile when he seen them ready for combat.
"So then Mr. Branwen... Shall we get started." Coco stated as her handbag transformed into a Gatling gun. The rest of team CFVY then started to surround Aodh.
Aodh once more chuckled as he pulled out Scath and Solas. 'Coco seems to have figured out about my clothes. I honestly don't know her well enough to know if she's got a good fashion sense or she's smart enough to notice it. Maybe it's both.' Aodh thought as he composed himself.
Coco then nodded to the rest of her team. Slowly the rest of team CFVY then started to surround Aodh. 'She's also got her team organized I'm gonna have to be serious with this team.'
Aodh eyes then turned crimson red as Team CFVY charged at him. "I feel like this is actually going to be some fun."
The next day Aodh was feeling the effects of his spar with Team CFVY. As a team he felt they were in perfect sync with each other and each had something unique to offer. But feeling the aches and pains he knew he'd most likely found his favorite students now. Being his only day off Aodh was taking his time getting out of bed on Sunday.
But Aodh soon found his morning of peace and quite was burst as he heard a knock on his apartment's front door. Still feeling slightly groggy he opened the door. when the door was opened he found Yang and Weiss standing outside. "Hey, what's up?" Aodh asked as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
But Weiss and Yang didn't answer him back. Confused be the silence it was Aodh looked at them both but only to see both of there faces where bright red. And that they were both staring at his groin. Aodh only then realized he was standing in front of two teenage girls, one of which was his cousin... Completely naked.
"Oh shit!" Aodh shouted out as he quickly closed the door and put on what ever he found nearest to him. Nervously he reopened the door."Sorry about that I was still sleeping it seems."
"I should call the police for exposing yourself in front of girls." Weiss snapped back at Aodh . Her face was still red.
"Hey I was in my apartment. My place, my rules! I'll dress how I want in my place!" Aodh shouted back at Weiss as he tried to defend himself.
"Anyway were getting off the point of our visit." Weiss once more snapped at Aodh .
"Weiss is right. Blake's still missing. We've been searching for over five hours and we still haven't found her." Yang spoke with concern in her voice.
"And i'm guessing you'll need my help I suppose... Alright. She is one of my students so i'm suppose to assist any team when necessary. I just didn't expect it to be on a Sunday. Give me a few minutes to get dressed and showered. You two in the mean time keep looking and message me via scroll the areas you've already looked at." Aodh stated to Weiss and Yang as he rubbed the back of his head.
Having joined the search for Team RWBY missing team mate Aodh had spent seven hours trying to find Blake. He was currently near the public docks as it was one of the places that Weiss and Yang hadn't looked at yet.
"No sign of her here then. I guess i'll ask if someone seen her enter a boat. I'll be surprised if she's still in Vale by this point. " Aodh thought out loud to himself as he moved towards one of the tourist booths when suddenly he heard an explosion.
Aodh turned around and found the explosion was coming from the private docks harbor owned by the Schnee Dust Company. "Well... That can't be good."
(A few minutes later at the docks)
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty..." Roman taunted Blake to come out and attack. However the response he got was a banana peel thrown to his face. "What the!?"
"Leave her alone!" Sun shouted out as he tried to jump on top of Roman. Having backed away from the on coming blonde monkey faunus Roman and Sun began to counter one another. But soon Roman gets the upper hand and kicked Sun's gut.
Roman then pointed his cane at Sun's head as he layed on the ground. "You're not the brightest banana in the bunch are you?" Roman smiled towards Sun as he was about to fire. Blake ran out from her cover and grabbed Sun out of the way just in the nick of time.
"So the kitty cat shows her face again... Kill them both." Roman stated to the members of the White Fang that had now completely surrounded Blake and Sun.
However they were both saved as several rounds of both lightning and gravity dust hit the surrounding members of the White Fang. Blake was stunned as looked around to find who had saved her only to find Aodh standing behind her. "Blake I need you and whoever this guy is to go and deal with the rest of the White Fang members around here. Leave Roman to me." Aodh stated towards Blake as he pointed Scath and Solas at Roman Torchwich.
And Cut!
Alright so hoping to have around 2 or 3 chapters updated every week and will be hopefully posting weekly or bi-weekly when caught up to Volume 3. Anyway with the last chapter of Volume 4 out i'm glad i did decide to re-master this story cause what I originally had planned has now been thrown out the window. Not by much but as i'm already re doing the story it'll make it more like a new story once it reaches a certain point.
As for notices Driu in the story. I'm sorry i know it can be confusing but i do try and sweap before posting but a few have gone past my vision. I do try to correct them as soon as i'm informed so if you have updated me on that thank you. So with out delay here is this chapter's Q&A!
1) Who is you favor RWBY character? Not a really tough question as it can only be the one and only! The queen of the castle! NORA!.. PANCAKES!
2) Will Aodh fight Cinder when you get to volume 3? I don't wanna give out too much of a spoiler over this one but at some point in Volume 3 Aodh will be facing Cinder but if it's before or after the events in Episode 11 you'll need to wait to find out.
3) Will Aodh meet Roman at the docks? Yes. Now I planned on Roman running into Aodh at this point but my original idea was to have Aodh introduced into the cannon story during the encounter at the docks. However due to some more thought into planning the overall idea of what i'm looking to finish with I thought the current plot of bringing Aodh in earlier would work out better.
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
