NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
The ceremony was now over and everyone was heading to their respective dorm room. Team RWBY room was only across team Team JNPR. Rune and the girls were setting their things down.
"Okay, before we all get to bed I need to tell you all one simple rule." Rune said as he turned to his team. He was currently sitting in one of the beds in the dorm and wearing a serious look on his face. Right now, he really hates Ozpin because he was chosen to be a leader of the team. It means that he will take all responsibility of the team actions.
"Nobody makes a stupid decision because I'm the leader of the team that means that I'm responsible of your actions. So I don't want any of you doing something stupid got it?" Rune said and Blake and Yang just raised a brow at him while Weiss eye twitch but they all nodded at him. "Good, you can all sleep now. School starts tomorrow." Rune said. He removes his hood and tossed it to the bed was about to take off his shirt.
"Rune." Rune turn to that voice and saw Yang approaching him. "We need to talk."
Rune just let out a small sigh. He knew that this was gonna happen sooner or later. "Fine, follow me." Rune said as he started walking out of the room with Yang following. Soon the two were in the hallway and the two were a few feet away from their dorm room.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Rune asked as he lean to the wall and has his arm crossed in his chest as he looks at Yang bored look on his face. Yang let out sigh before looking at Rune with sad look on her face.
"Rune…I want to say that I'm sorry. Dad and I are really sorry what happened to you during the past few months when you were five. I really don't know what came over me. I guess that Summer death really affected me also. I just wanted to say is that I'm really really sorry." Yang finished softly. She was truly sorry about what she did to her little brother and all she wanted hope that Rune will forgive her and forgive her dad for what they done to him.
After Yang apologized to Rune. Rune just raised a brow at her and notice that one thing that she said.
"You called my mom name. Why do you call her that? Don't you see her as her mother anymore?" Rune asked. Yang eyes widen in shock and had a panic look on her face.
"N-No, that's not what I mean." Yang expression turn to a sad one. "I found out that Summer wasn't my real mom. My real mother left me and my dad after giving birth. I learn this after a month you left home."
"So, you know huh?" Rune said and Yang heard him and look at Rune with confused look on her face.
"What do mean by that?" Yang asked, not understanding what Rune is talking about.
"…I met your mother Yang, Her name is Raven Branwen." Rune said and this cause Yang eyes widen in shock. "In fact I run into her 2 years ago and got into a fight with her. And it's wasn't pretty since we almost killed each other." Rune said with blank look on his face.
"What!" Yang shouted in shock. For years she been searching clues about her mother and she found out that her little brother was able to meet her biological mother. "What happened? Tell me!" Yang demanded as her eyes started to turn red.
"Don't bother Yang. That woman is on a very important mission and is the reason she left you and your father. Qrow has been contacting with her a few years now and exchanging information with him. I'm surprised that Qrow never mention this to you considering that you are desperately wanting to find your mother." Rune finished.
Soon Yang grabbed Rune shirt and pushed him to the wall. Their faces were now inch distant now. Yang was glaring at Rune with anger in her eyes while Rune was completely unfazed at this.
"Tell. Me. Everything." Yang said with venom spat in each word. Rune eyes narrowed and grabbed Yang hand.
"You don't demand anything from me Xiao Long. We are not siblings. We don't have any bonds anymore. Those bonds were shattered from the moment you and that bastard father of yours abused me. I don't own you any favors." Rune said coldly. If his bitch sister wants a fight. He'll give her one and he won't hesitate to kill her.
Yang eyes widen in Rune words and her eye color slowly was changing back to normal. She slowly let go of Rune and back away from him a little. Rune just adjust his clothes and look at Yang and saw tears was now going down her face.
"Rune…I-"
"Like said Xiao long. We are not siblings anymore. I won't acknowledge you or that bastard as my family because the family I have is…my mother, Summer Rose." Rune ended with soft tone as he says his mother name again. Rune soon started walking away and was heading back to the dorm room, leaving Yang who was crying at the hurtful words from her brother.
It was morning and Rune was the first one to rise up from his sleep. He looks around and saw that everyone was still asleep and looks at Yang bed and saw that Yang was also asleep but he knew that he hurt her with those words. He doesn't regret it. Soon Rune move out from his bed and grabbed his towel and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower he looks at mirror and look at his reflection.
He looks at the small tattoo that was located near the neck. The tattoo was a black rose.
'A Black rose, they symbolize death, hatred, farewell and tragic romance. That how I see the black rose as it represent me and my life. ' Rune thought. He lost his mother at the young age and that cause Yang and Taiyang to abuse him to make him started to hate them. And for death…this why he is called the Black Rose because whenever he kills someone. He will always leave a mark of the black rose to his victim as it also symbolized farewell to his victim.
Rune shook his as he snap out and quickly change to his uniform with the red hood attached. He came out from the bathroom and saw that everyone was still asleep. He decided to get some breakfast.
Weiss was just waking up when suddenly Yang blew a whistle startling her out of bed. "GOOD MORNING!" she shouted with a wide grin.
"Yang! What in the world is wrong with you!?" shouted Weiss in irritation.
"Now that you're up we can get started." Yang said
"On what?"
"Decorating!" Yang said happily as she pulls out some materials…somewhere.
"Decorating?" Weiss gave both sisters a deadpan expression.
"We still need to unpack." Blake lifted her bag which opened up spilling its contents. "And clean."
"Where's Rune?" Weiss said and soon the door opened and saw Rune walks in and had a piece of bread hanging on his mouth.
Rune raised a brow and looks around and saw that Yang and Blake were already awake and were in their uniform while the only one left that wasn't in uniform was Weiss. Rune removed the bread from his mouth and said. "What the hell are you all doing?"
"We're just going decorating the room." Yang said happily. Rune just gave a deadpan look.
"Really?"
"And cleaning." Blake said. Rune just let out a sigh and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Fine, beside this place needs to be clean up anyway." Rune said.
Soon everyone started to work on the room and it was…pretty normal with the beds just messed up.
"This isn't going to work." Weiss said as she looks at the room.
"It is a bit cramped." Blake commented.
"Maybe we should some of our stuffs." Yang suggested.
"Or we could just make it bunk beds since it will leave a big space. Besides." Rune looks at his scroll and a screen appeared. "It's already 8:40 and class will start in 20 minutes."
"Really? Its 8:40" Weiss asked and Rune just nodded at her before heading out of the door.
"We can arrange the beds later beside I'm sure miss perfect here doesn't want to be late in class." Rune said. Weiss knew that Rune was calling her out and this just made her glare at her leader. As soon as Rune left the room Weiss followed him then Yang and Blake followed as well as team RWBY was heading to class.
"Monsters, Deeeemons, Crawlers of the night. Yes, Many people call these Grimm monsters, but I call them prey, HA HA!" yelled Professor Port victoriously, Rune was completely bored as hell and secretly used his scroll as a recorder if ever want to review some of the lesson of this teacher is talking about.
"This world is absolutely teeming that would love to tear you to pieces, that's where we come in Huntsman and Huntresses" he said while winking at Yang which made the blond girl cringed.
Professor Port then went onto a long rant about his victories and his former looks to which Rune was getting annoyed now. What the hell is the point of all of his stories and shit? We are studying grimm! Not history lessons.
"Professor Port, with all due respect, why are lecturing us about your past instead of teaching us about the lesson." Rune said. He finally snapped since the fucking story was completely boring and it isn't related to any of the Grimms!
"To teach you about the glory of being a hunter." Port said with a proud voice.
"No offense Professor Port but your just basically telling your story about your life and instead of the actual class like learning on how fighting that kind of grimm. Can we please get back to the lesson in hand." stated Rune earning a disappointed sigh from Port.
"Fine, have it your way we will be getting back to the lesson with that being said, Mr. Rose you will be facing off against a Boarbatusk for your lesson today so please get into your gears for you demonstrate in class." Port said to Rune.
Rune just shrugged and said "Whatever" as he stands up to his seat and left the classroom to change. Soon Rune was casual attire again and was wearing the gloves that Rock gave him.
"Where's Rune weapon?" Yang asked. She knew Rune was Crescent Rose but why doesn't Rune have his weapon.
"Maybe he's going to fight the Grimm bear handed." Blake said. Yang eyes widen in shock.
"I wouldn't worry about it Yang. Because with Rune powerful Aura he would easily destroy any Grimm that he will be facing." Weiss said which cause Yang worries to disappear as she remembers how Rune brutally killed the giant Death Stalker.
Rune went to a boxing his stance he was now facing the cage with Port just beside the cage with his weapon at his hands.
"Let the match begin!" said Port while breaking the lock on the cage. The Boarbatusk immediately charged at Rune and Rune narrowed his eyes at this and he channeled some Aura to his gloves at the dial of the gloves was set in blue. He waited for the Boarbatusk to come close to him. When it was an inch close he immediately slammed both his hands to the ground.
SQUELCH!
SQUELCH!
A valley of ice spikes appeared beneath the Boarbatusk and was stabbed in the stomach. Everyone was completely shock at this and some even started to feel a little sick in that display. Rune removed his fist from the ground and look at dead grimm who was impaled by the ice spikes that he created. He channel some Aura to his right hand and made into a fist. Soon Rune slammed his fist to the grimm and it exploded to pieces.
Everyone was completely shock at this and some of them fainted at the brutal display of Rune towards the Boarbatusk. Professor Port was the first one to snapped out from his shock and cleared his throat to get everyone attention.
"Well that was very impressive Mr. Rose. I just wanted to ask what weapon you are using?" Port asked.
"I'm using a weapon that my frie- no brother created it for me. It's called Synchronized Dust Projection gloves. This gloves will allow you to create weapons from a certain element that you want. But I decided to a bit more creative in using these weapons." Rune said as he inspect his gloves. Port nodded in understanding and soon the bell rang, ending the class.
"Well looks like that we all have the time for today, class dismissed." Port said and soon Rune was the first one to leave the classroom.
It was night time and Rune was at the room and was writing some notes and he was wearing a simple black shirt and boxers. The beds were finally fixed and were now changed into bunk beds. Rune was still looking at papers that he was writing and reviewing it. He was so focus on reviewing his notes that he never notice that door opened.
Weiss entered the room and she was surprised that Rune was still awake and he looks like he was doing something important. She decided to approach the boy.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Weiss asked and this made Rune stop his reading and look at Weiss.
"Weiss? Why are you late?" Rune asked as he place aside the papers and face his partner.
"I could be asking you that question." Weiss said and Rune just raised a brow at her.
"I'm doing our training schedule." Rune said and Weiss look skeptical at this.
"Training schedule?"
"Yeah, after seeing you girls fight. I started writing some of the weakness that you all needed to overcome." Rune said.
"Really, then what are the weaknesses that you saw in us?" Weiss asked.
"That's for me to tell you when we are going to start training. Anyway, I answered your question now you answer mine." Rune said, curious why her partner was so late that almost past curfew time.
"Well I went to see Professor Port." Weiss said and Rune raised a brow at this but in reality he knew something since the ceremony.
"I'm gonna take a guess. You talk to him because you were complaining that we weren't chosen to be a leader of the group." Rune asked. He saw Weiss stiffen at this and turn away from him. Rune just let out a sigh before he started to talk. "If you're gonna think that I'm mad at you don't. You're wrong. I'm not mad or disappointed at all."
Weiss turns to him with surprised look on her face. She never expected this since she thought that Rune would be at least disappointed at her since she question him in being a leader. "Why?"
"Because, I know that you wanted to a leader after all you are Schnee and the fact that you had an upset look on your face when we left the Amphitheater. You expected things to be perfect, according plan. But Weiss there some things are never perfect. I'm an example of it. I'm not a great person or leader." Rune said and Weiss was again surprised at Rune words.
"What do mean by that. You demonstrated that you're hunter material and you manage to create a plan during the initiation to beat the giant Nevermore." Weiss said.
"But I never see myself as a good leader. Hell I never even wanted to job in the first place. But the only reason that never complain it is because Ozpin gave me this role and I intent to do it. My mom was the leader of her team also and was known as the strongest team in Beacon. I'm just realizing that I'm following her footstep. Steps in becoming a hunter." Rune said as he stare up at the ceiling. Weiss was staring at Rune with a shock look on her face.
She first thought that Rune wouldn't fit in becoming a leader but after her talk with Professor Port and now knowing a little bit about her leader she finally realized that Rune might not be a bad leader after all.
"I first thought that you were cold, selfish jerk with no education or manners at first." Weiss said and Rune looks at her with raised brow. "But realized that you're not such bad guy after all."
Rune just gave her a smirk. "I can be a cold bastard most of the times but it doesn't mean that I always be that way besides you're the cold one here."
"Hey!" Weiss shouted at him but not loud enough for everyone to be awake. Rune just continue to smirk at her.
"Anyway, I think it's time we sleep. Night Weiss." Rune said as he placed his papers away before pulling sheet and get some sleep.
Weiss let out a small smile as she saw that her leader now resting and decided to get some sleep also.
