AN: Hey TheatreFreak12 here!

Sorry for the late update... This would have been up sooner, but i got so caught up in writing this story that i forgot to upload.

The result? I have the next couple of chapters completed and another almost complete.

On another note; The action wont be for a few chapters sorry about that. The meet and greets of the canon characters and OC will be predominate at the moment, but once all that is over the action will pick up a lot as in there will be more action then there was in canon.

Plus, I will be taking The DWMA(Death Weapons Meister Academy or Shibusen) approach meaning that they will have a mission hall where they can take up missions in the free time for school credit and field experience.

Another note; I will be classifying the creatures of grim and the academy students according to Beacon Standards. I'll show you what I mean when the 'First step' and 'Emerald Forest' episodes come up.

I would explain more but I don't want a giant authors note, so here is the story.

Ch.2

Opening Ceremony Drama

"I DO NOT!" Denied a thoroughly embarrassed Ruby as she walked towards Beacon from the academy's docking bay with Yang at her side.

"You do to!" Yang accused as she teased Ruby from the side while trying to fight off her giggles.

"No I do not!" Ruby flushed, trying to deny her accusations, operative word 'try'.

"Yes yo- woah…" Yang immediately stopped, mesmerized by the sheer beauty and elegance of the Academy.

"Yang…" Ruby trailed off next, following the direction of Yang's finger, her curiosity getting the better of her. The reaction was immediate as she was entranced by the same view, even more so then Yang.

Yang and Ruby couldn't help the smile of awe crept on to their faces as they took in the view of the castle. Yang the first to break out of her trance crossed her arms under her assets and commented with a grin, "The view from Vale got nothing on this."

Ruby gave an absentminded nod as she noticed the different weapons that the students had… the effect? Instantaneous, as Ruby had a nerd-gasm as she started pointing out different types of weapons. Before she could completely fly off the handle, Yang grabbed Ruby by her collar before she could 'float' off and get lost, and she pulled her back to reality.

"Easy little sister they're just weapons." She said offhandedly.

Ruby just looked at her appalled by her sister's declaration, "Just weapons?" Ruby questioned giving her a look that said 'Are you serious?', "They are an extension of ourselves, they're a part of us." She explained as she brought her hands together into a single fist above her chest. "Oh they are so cool!' Ruby swooned over the variety of weapons she just seen.

A confused expression appeared on Yang's face, "Why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang queried as she put her fist on her hip in questioning manner.

"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose." Ruby quickly defended running her hand across her Scythe/Gun in an appreciative manner.

"I just like seeing new ones." She informed, "It's like meeting new people." She paused, "except better" she said softly almost timidly? Let it be known Ruby was not a people person.

"Ruby…" Yang spoke, pulling Ruby's hood over her head, "Come on… why don't you go and try to make some friends of your own? I'm pretty sure that guy Ladon and those girls wouldn't mind your company." Yang encouraged her to break out of her shell and get to know people.

Ruby pulled her head back and replied, "Why would I need friends? When I have you? I mean, Ladon and them are nice and all but I'm not to sure about that… I mean we talked a bit, but that's not much, right?" Ruby asked unsurely, she was new to the whole 'meeting people' aspect of life.

Yang deadpanned her, "Talked a bit? You two were practically flirting!" she shouted the last bit, throwing her arms in the air in disbelief.

Ruby blushed furiously, "We were NOT!" she shouted back as steam shot from her ears has her fist balled up in embarrassment.

"Whatever, I have you, so I'm fine." She stated as she pushed down her discomfiture.

Yang scratched the back of her head awkwardly. "Actually… my friends are here now, try to go find Ladon and his sisters, catch up to you later!" Yang spoke quickly while taking off with some of her friends… that you probably, most likely wont see again.

Ruby was put into a daze as they left, if the swirls in her eyes were any indication.

"Wait! Where are you going? Are we suppose to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? What am I doing?" Ruby shot rapidly hoping to get some answers out of her before she left. In her dazed state she lost her balance and fell back in to some luggage.

"What are you doing!?" The female voiced her annoyance looking down at Ruby.

Elsewhere with Ladon

"Gee, where the hell did they go?" Ladon asked himself for the umpteenth time since he began looking for his wayward family. After he left Ruby and Yang he went looking for Nymph and the others, but to no avail. His aimless search led him to a statue of a Hunter and huntress standing on a cliff overlooking a fleeing Ursa.

Ladon sat at the base of the statue. Adopting a thinking pose, he thought of all the possible places his sisters could be. He thought for a bit, but as he was about give up and go to the amp-theatre. It hit him, the amp-theatre, "The freaking amp-theatre! Gaaah!" His brow began to twitch rapidly at his own absentminded idiocy.

At this revelation he began walking towards the amp-theatre mumbling 'stupid' and 'idiot' repeatedly.

The Amp-Theatre

"Where do you think big brother is?" Nymph asked her older sisters in all but blood, worriedly.

"Eh, probably looking for us." Odissia answered lazily while waving off her worry.

"He knows we're supposed to be here for the Opening Ceremony? Right?" Nymph scratched here head, figuring he knew they were supposed to be in the amp-theatre by 9:30 for the Ceremonial Opening Speech. He was the one that told them about it and-, Gaia interrupted her train of thought.

"He does, but remember, he does occasionally have his moments of absentminded idiocy, outside of battle." She reminded Nymph.

Her eyes widened in realization, "Like that time at Vytal Festival a few years back." Nymph recalled, before anyone could continue the conversation, a loud shout of 'You!' was heard from two rows behind them.

"Huh, there is that Ruby girl Ladon was talking to…" Odissia announced just as said person walked through the massive doorway.

"Speak of the devil… there he is." Gaia pointed out.

Amp-Theatre Entrance

"Gah… I can't believe I forgot about the stupid Ceremony…" He sighed. He was about berate himself even further before…

"Oh god… it's happening again!" Our favorite huntress screamed in surprise and fright into Yang's arm when a girl clad in white, otherwise know as Weis Schnee Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company Corporation, snuck up on Ruby.

Ladon decided to take a closer peek and eavesdrop a bit.

Weiss continued, "You're lucky that we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" She scolded Ruby.

"Oh my god you really exploded…" Yang said incredulously her facial expression saying pretty much the same.

Ruby jumped out of Yang's arm in defense, "It was an accident, It was an accide-" She was interrupted as Weiss pushed a pamphlet into Ruby's face and went into and entire speech of how they are not liable for accidents caused by Schnee Dust Company products. To Ruby it sounded just like gibberish, when she finished Ruby's intelligence response was, "what?"

She clarified, "You really want to make things up to me?" Ruby nodded and hastily said, "Absolutely." Weiss continued, "Then read this and never talk to me again."

"Look… sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot." Yang trying to ease tensions and play mediator, "Why don't you start over and try to be friends?" She suggested, hopefully trying to mend each others misunderstandings.

Ruby perked up at the idea, she smiled, "Yeah that is a good idea sis!" she cleared her throat and held out her hand, "Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby. Want to hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies." Ruby offered.

Alas our Heiress was having none of it and replied with the only way she new how, sarcastically, "Yeah! We can paint our nails, try on clothes, talk about cute boys, like the Faunus over there…" she pointed to Ladon who was standing next to Yang, he seem to notice the attention and gave a wave, who arrived moments before the pamphlet rant. Yang was genuinely surprised as she had not notice him standing next to her and Ruby looked at him with a slight blush luckily no one noticed.

"Or tall blonde and scraggily." She gave a fake smile while pointing to a boy in armour otherwise known as Jaune Arc.

"Wow really?" Ruby said excitedly, obviously not catching the sarcasm dripping from her voice.

Seeing as Ruby wasn't taking the hint she shut her down, "No." she deadpanned, Ruby looked down in dejection, Yang kind of looked away not wanting to see the harsh rejection, Weiss turned away from the three with her arms crossed in an attempt to ignore the trio.

As comical as the sight was, Ladon was irked with the girl's attitude, he hated it when people didn't give someone a chance. He was about to say something was cut off when someone grabbed his shoulder, he was going to snap at whoever was holding him back and when he did looked back his eyes met the stern, silver ones of Gaia's. His eyes held a cold edge that could make an ursa turn tail and run, to Gaia's credit she did not falter or flinch as she stared back with equal intensity. Ladon knew this was going to go anywhere, she is just too damn stubborn even more so then him. He sighed and broke eye contact with her. A final thought crossed his mind, 'When the hell did she get behind me?'

Gaia sighed in relief not knowing if she could of kept on the staring contest… Take note; Ladon does not take kind to judgmental people.

The sound of a microphone feedback brought everyone's attention to the Amp-theatres stage. On the stage stood two people; In front of the mic stood Professor Ozpin, Headmaster at Beacon Academy. Not far behind him was Glynda Goodwitch, Headmaster Assistant at Beacon Academy.

Ozpin quickly scanned the audience looking at several individuals that he personally invited to his academy. Ozpin kept his gaze on those few, constantly switching between them for a few moments a time before he adjust his attention and glasses to the general populace, "I'll… keep this brief."

He scanned the crowd quickly again and continued, "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills… and when you have finished, You plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people, but all I see is wasted energy…" his tone changed drastically, "in need of purpose, direction… you assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge will only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin finished and walked off stage.

Ladon, Gaia, Odissia and Nymph noticed a change in his usual demeanor, while the students just gained confused and annoyed expressions. Yang narrowed her eyes at the insult, Ruby didn't really seem affected by the change, Weiss didn't care she was confident in her ability.

Professor Goodwitch took the reigns, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins… be ready, Dismissed." Glynda followed after Ozpin to discuss the late coffee shipments.

Yang spoke up, "He seemed… off." Ruby followed up with her own observation, "Like he wasn't even there."

Nymph was the next to pitched in, "He acts like Gaia when she doesn't have her morning coffee." Startling the others as one thought went through there heads. 'Nymph? When did Nymph get there?'

Nymph just stood there with her hands behind her back while rocking back and forth on her heels.

"Yep, that seems like the coffee withdrawals." Odissia popped in with a lazy drawl, Once again everyone jumped back with the exceptions of Nymph, Gaia and Ladon. Gaia and Ladon expected this because when one leaves the other is sure to follow. They're close like that.

"Ah! Would you stop doing that!" Weiss yelled not sure if her little heart can withstand the constant surprises,

"Stop what?" Nymph asked innocently almost too innocently as she popped next to Weiss, startling her.

"That!'

"This?" Odissia popped behind her asking in the same innocent tone as Nymph albeit in a lazier drawl.

Before Weiss could respond, Nymph popped in another random spot around Weiss, "So this?" Nymphs tone never changing.

They continued this for a few moments longer until Weiss broke, "GAAAH!" she slumped defeated. Seeing they sufficiently messed with her they slapped their hands together at a job well done and gave each other high fives.. All the others could do was laugh at her misfortune.

Weiss straightened herself from her slumped position and pushed down her blush of embarrassment and was about to defend herself, but she was interrupted by a blonde teen, "I'm a natural blonde you know." He informed Weiss, she just rolled his eyes at his weak attempt to flirt.

"Hey Juane!" Ruby greeted him with a wave, he just waved back and attempted to flirt with Weiss again, but he was failing miserably as she just ignored his presence. Ladon thought he would save the blonde boys confidence and interrupt his repeated failures at flirting.

Ladon cleared his throat, "So… You two have a name?" Jaune and Weiss looked towards him for sec, Jaune gaining a big smile while Weiss was thinking if she should introduce herself to this… Faunas.

Before Weiss could come to decision Jaune introduced himself first, "The name is Jaune, Jaune Arc." He held out his hand for Ladon to shake it. Ladon got the feeling he'll be saving this guy ass a lot and not just in a fight.

"I'm Ladon, Ladon Lavender Ryu and they are…" He gripped Jaunes hand shook it before letting it go while pointing towards his sisters letting them know to introduce themselves.

"Gaia Sozo." She shook his hand with a smile

"Natalie Nymph!" She announced exuberantly as she hugged him, Jaune was surprised by her action before he can return the hug she let go with a bright smile and moved to the side allowing Odissia pathway.

"Desiree Odissia." She said lamely with an uncaring wave, as Jaune chuckled nervously.

"My sisters." Ladon finished, Jaune then waved his hand towards Ladon telling him to come closer. Ladon just raised his brow but acquiesced to it.

"What do you need?" he asked

"Does she hate me?" he whispered pointing towards Odissia who was looking at him apathetically.

Ladon chuckled, "No, she is like that with everyone."

"Oh…"

"How about you?" Gaia asked Weiss as she held out her hand.

Weis looked at her hands then her ears

Hands

Ears

Hands

Ears

And so on and so forth.

"Weiss Schnee." She said curtly before walking away ignoring Gaia's hand completely. She gritted her teeth and smiled politely, slowly putting her hand down and watched her walk away, her form disappearing behind a closed door leading to who knows where since it was the student's free time to get to know the school till nightfall.

"I believe that qualifies as rude…" Nymph said in a slightly annoyed tone. Gaia maybe friendly even motherly at times, but she had her limits.

"That snobby little BITCH!"

Ballroom, Nightfall

"I haven't seen her this pissed in a long time."

"Yep, remember that time she pulled a rusty spoon on you Ladon."

Ladon immediately stopped as his entire body went ghostly white, "P-please don't bring up that terrifying experience again Natalie… I-I rather not relive that memory." He shuddered at the memory.

"Someone should calm her down." She said hopefully trying to get someone else to do it, since she didn't want to. Unfortunately, she had no such luck.

Ladon looked at her as if she was crazy, "Nuh-uh, screw that! I rather not have to face off against the spoon for attempting to calm her down." Ladon shook his head rapidly, desperately trying to avoid that moment ever again.

"Fine I'll do it, You can be such a wimp." Odissia exasperated, walking towards Gaia's position several feet away in front of a window.

"I rather be a wimp then a unic." He said unashamed of his wimp tendencies when it comes to feminine fury, Nymph couldn't help but giggle at her brother's shameless response.

Odissia & Gaia

Des tentatively walked towards her older sister, despite volunteering to go and try and clam her down, she was scared. Calming her down was like trying to convince a lioness you mean no harm to her and her cubs even though you're kicking them in front of her. As she walked up to her she heard Gaia mumbling things along the lines of 'white bitch' 'stupid bitch', basically anything with 'bitch' in the phrase. Not creative but relatively accurate, according to Gaia.

Apparently, Gaia was so lost in her rant of insults that she didn't notice Odissia walk up behind. So, she steeled herself, cleared her throat and spoke.

"Sis." Desiree tapped Gaia on the back, trying to gain her sisters attention. Seeing as she gained no reaction she tapped her a little harder, again, no dice. Gaia stood there mumbling profanities that would make a sailor blush as she watched the sun go down below the horizon.

"Oh my god…" Desiree was getting irritated, so she tried a more direct approach. She grabbed Gaia's shoulder and with a single quick movement, spun her around face to face.

"Gaia answer me you stupid twat!" Odissia yelled letting her frustration get the better of her.

Gaia's eyes locked on to Odissia's with a look so intense it could melt steel.

" What. Did. You. Say. To. Me?" She said through gritted teeth with barely contained fury.

Ladon and Nymph flinched at their sisters very pissed tone. "Why the hell would she do that when she already know she pissed?" he thought out loud curious to what Odissia is planning or is she just being brash… probably the latter.

"I don't know Donnie, but she did not like that comment one bit." Nat said using her pet name for Ladon.

In great effort she did not falter under Gaia's tone, she calmly spoke, "Good, now that I have your attention, you need to calm down and relax that was hours ago. There is no point in being continuously mad over something so stupid."

Gaia narrowed her eyes, "I…" she pointed to herself, "don't need to do anything, but you need to let me be." She threatened flaring her K.I. making the people surrounding their group sweat and back up.

Odissia, Ladon and Natalie remained unaffected used to her K.I. levels but that didn't stop the last two from getting a bit worried.

"This is escalating rather fast, we should do something before they start, well… Gaia starts throwing blows." Nympth said in a worried tone. She went to go stop them but was held back by Ladon gripping her wrist.

"What the hell are you doing? Let me go!" Nymph said harshly a far cry from her usually bubbly demeanor. Ladon shook his head, "Don't, let see how this plays out…" Nymph looked at him questioningly but dropped it because one, she couldn't move Ladon has a vice grip on her and two, she trust his judgment and he usually knows what he is doing. Plus, Gaia would have done more then just threatened, but since nothing is broken Odissia must be doing something right, with that thought she stopped resisting, that doesn't mean she stopped worrying.

Faster then what most people could follow

WHAM!

Desiree's fist collided with the top of Gaia's head.

"Ow, ow, ow…" Gaia was knocked on her bum poking the growing welt on her head. Desiree stood there with her smoking fist held in front of her as her eyebrow twitched, "You stupid twat! Getting butt hurt over something so stupid! Now get up your making a scene." Ladon and Nymph just sweat dropped at her way crude but effective way of dealing with the situation.

"B-but sh-she-" Gaia tried defending herself but wasn't able to finsh, "No buts, stop acting lake a baby with a tantrum, alright?"

Gaia was about to retort, "Alright." Odissia's eyes narrowed dangerously, daring her to say otherwise. Gaia started to rapidly nod her head not wanting to be hit again.

"Good!" she cheerfully walked back to the others doing a complete 180 from her previous manner. Nymph just stood there gob-smacked, while Odissia walked up to Nymph completely oblivious or ignorant to Nymph's expression of disbelief.

"Where's Ladon?" She asked with a thoughtful appearance.

"What?"

Boy's Locker Room

"That was definitely an odd way to handle the situation…" He mused to himself as he began to walkout in his black sweats with a multi-headed dragon in red under his his left pocket and a tight yet comfortable lavender undershirt. Until he saw something, actually, someone pulling out a blue onsie.

"Jaune? Hell no!" Jaune turned his head to the familiar voice of Ladon.

"Oh hey Ryu!" he began to walk away before he could get any farther Ryu grabbed him and push some extra clothes in Juane's arms.

"Wear that."

He gave a bewildered expression, "but I already have pj's and they're comfortable." Ryu shook his head.

"Yeah, don't care… put those on. They are much more comfortable. You'll thank me later." Jaune was about to voice his approval, but Ryu continued, "The ladies will love it."

In the blink of an eye Jaune appeared in the sleepwear Ladon gave him.

'How'd he do that? I didn't even see him move… and that's saying something.' He thought.

Jaune was now dressed in a plain blue undershirt much like Ryu's and plain black shorts, "Huh, What do you know… they are more comfortable and you also have my color." Ladon smiled, glad he can stop that fashion disaster before it could happen.

'Who gave him that anyway? His mom?' Oh he doesn't know how right he was.

He sighed; it didn't really affect him anyway.

"Let's go Jaune." Jaune just nodded, then decided on some conversation with some light teasing to see if he can get a response out of the Faunas.

"Ruby huh. You two would look good together." Ladon stumbled a bit, "What?! Have you been talking to Nymph?" He questioned with a slight blush, Jaune chuckled a bit, since he got a reaction as quickly as he did, and they continued their trek back to the ballroom.

Ruby & Yang

"It's like a biiiig slumber party!" Yang affirmed elatedly as she dropped herself in to a bedroll next to Ruby who was writing a letter.

"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though." Ruby assumed, her eyes never leaving the paper.

"I know I do..." Yang's party girl attitude as she checked out the male populace till' two in particular stood out, Ladon and Jaune. From Yang's perspective she could tell they were talking, well… Jaune was, Ladon just looked like he was trying to tune him out.

"I have to admit Jaune actually has a nice body, now only if his personality was as good." Ruby looked up curious to what Yang was talking about… hey she is a girl to, she would be curious as well. She couldn't help but agree with Yang's assessment on Jaune.

"I thought he would walk out with an onsie or something similar." Yang openly admitted, Ruby agreed because she thought the same thing as she went back to her letter.

Yang was about to say something till he turned to his side facing Jaune. "Dude what are you talking about? I don't see any-" That's when he noticed all the stares he was getting.

"Now I see what you mean." He deadpanned as he realized all the looks he was getting. He looked around till he noticed a blushing Yang and a confused Ruby trying to gain Yang's attention.

"Yang!" Ruby poked her.

"Yang what are yo-" Anything she was about to say was cut short as she noticed what Yang was staring at, Ladon. More specifically his body which had the ideal body of any man; he was not bulky nor was he thin he was the perfect meld of strength and speed. Ruby's face went red as a siren.

Those two were like that for a long moment before Ladon noticed them and awkwardly waved. While he was not ashamed of his body he wasn't to keen on showing it off either due to certain reactions from the female populace and the fact he's not a big fan of attention either. Hence, why he doesn't showcase his body, but it would seem he forgot about that tonight.

Noticing they were caught quickly snapped their heads down trying to hide the embarrassment from being caught well Ruby did anyways. Yang continued to look at Ladon with a predatory grin.

This had two effects; First, He felt very vulnerable and very scared, second, which was the reason why he was scared, He was slightly aroused by that grin. Though, none of this showed on his face, aside from a very small blush. He's lucky Jaune wasn't paying attention at the moment, which he used to push it down. Unfortunately, this did not escape the eye of Yang as she looked back towards her sister.

Ladon let out a sigh of relief, when she looked away as his attention was brought back to Jaune.

"See what I mean? I bet you already have a fan club." True to those words he saw some of the girls with hearts in their eyes as they looked towards his direction.

"Although, I think the other guys here are quite pissed you're taking the spotlight from them." Once again Jaune hit the nail on the head as he noticed the intense glares of hate and envy from the male population.

"Yeah, well my ears are probably making it worse." He declared with irritation in his voice. It's times like this when he hates being a Faunas.

"Yup, as soon as they so those ears it just got all the more worse for you. Girls just LOVE cute furry things." As if some deity out there wants him to suffer, his ear twitched in the cutest way possible causing the female population swoon which only made his ear twitch in irritation further making the female populace swoon even more.

"Tch, lets get moving this is getting ridiculous." Jaune just chuckled at his friend's annoyance.

"Alright."

AN: Well there you have it the next chapter.

Also if you noticed I have taken off the pairing because now I don't know who I want to pair the oc with now considering I already several chapters where they have all taken an interest in Ladon.

I didn't do this intentionally as I was writing it just sort of came out and I didn't bother changing it, same with every conversation that took place with the characters these are not planned conversations which is the way I like it cause it actually gives the feel of of two people conversing then pre-planned which I suck at.

Yes there is a lot of over-exaggerated drama but thats just what anime is, right? More drama will come in the next chapter when Ladon and the girls run in to their old friend and in Ladon's case lover, Blake Belladonna.

There past will be very intimate.

Review! Like It? Hate it? Love it? Indifferent? Tell me in the reviews!
