Chapter 9 : Ken's closet

It was the weekend, morning was one of the things Rosa didn't like. She was currently sleeping on her bed wearing grey sweet pants and purple shirt, her hair was a mess and her snore echoed throughout the room of team K-R-?-?, yesterday was the day Rosa and Ken were introduced to their new rooms by Goodwitch. It was located in the same hallway as team RWBY and JNPR's rooms amongst the other first years, when Ken opened the door he was met with a normal looking room with four beds, four closets for each member and one bathroom, they had a huge window across the entrance of the room which gave a magnificent view of beacon's campus. All though Rosa may not know this but Ken had actually found a little secret from his own closet which he concealed from Rosa for private matters, in a way she was at peace when she slept (except her snoring). Thankfully Ken had found a way to sleep through the night when she fell to immediate slumber, it wasn't easy sleeping on their first night in the same room. Ken had woken up early six o'clock since he took the habit of waking up from his time being a soldier, he had already taken a quick bath and was about to change in his usual combat outfit but stop to look at his still sleeping teammate currently snoring and ruffling around her covers. He decided to wake her up since Ozpin informed her to meet him at Beacon cliffs for her initiation, it was about yesterday night when Ken and Rosa had just arrived back along side team RWBY and JNPR, they went straight towards Ozpin's office to introduce her to him and finally become part of Ken's team and huntress in training.

"Sir this is Rosa, she's an ex mercenary and is sixteen years old. I believe you've read the file I send the other day"

Ozpin sipped his mug as he observed the young girl from head to toe, "And you believe she is capable of attending my academy at such a young age?" He was very skeptical about Ken's judgement but he answered with calm and confidents.

"I believe she is as capable as the students here at beacon" Ken was straight forward with his answer, he always kept his soldier like attitude to all of his superiors. It was one of the reasons why Ozpin liked about Ken, he was always firm and serious when doing a task.

"Hmmmmm" Ozpin continued to look at Rosa, she was slowly sweeting as he stared her down. This made her very nervous and started to shake but tried her best to not make it visible, she gulped as Ozpin spoke to her "What do you think young one, do you want to attend this school? Do think you have what it takes to be a huntress?"

Despite being nervous, Rosa gave him an immediate answer. "Yes sir"

Ozpin was grinning under his mug as he took another sip while Ken shot her smile, "alright then it's settled, initiation starts tomorrow morning at nine. Be prepared young one, for this will test you if you are capable enough to be a student at Beacon academy" Ozpin turned to Ken as he continued "Ken if you want you can accompany her but you must only watch her, assistants is not required for this"

"Yes sir"

He then took a scroll from his desk drawer and handed it Rosa, "This is your scroll, you can you use it to communicate with your teammates, other students and professors"

She takes the scroll from him and nods, "Thank you professor, I'll do my best to make you proud"

"I expect to"

After that conversation they went to their new dorms while being lead by professor Goodwitch, Ken's belongings were already brought to the dorm so he was relieved. Rosa didn't bother to organize her stuff since she didn't have any other belongings except Violet Stinger and her current outfit, so she immediate went to bed and went to sleep, but Ken had woken her up before she could and handed her some purple shirt and grey sweet pants "Change to these, it's not healthy to sleep with those"

She rolled her eyes and walked towards the bathroom, as she closed the entrance her voice was heard through the door, "Hey Ken, when was the last time you ate someone?"

Ken had forgotten about her knowing about his grimm heritage, it was a long time ago when she first found out. "Rosa shut it, to answer your question it was about three weeks ago before I came to this school"

The door quickly went wide open with a wide eye Rosa wearing the clothes Ken had handed her, "What?! Did you seriously eat someone?"

"Noo of course not, it was a beowolf I ate. You know I can eat grimms to calm it down remember?"

"Ohh thank goodness" she let a relieved sigh as she walked towards her bed and placed Violet Stinger near her and closed her eyes, "Hey Ken, who's going to be our teammates anyway?"

Ken sat on his bed as he look at Rosa, "Ones a friend and the other is someone from my squad, don't worry about it they're nice people"

"Hmmm okay, well goodnight Ken"

"Goodnight Rosa"

After that night Ken was having one those nights where even he couldn't get much sleep from a snoring teammate, even his own squad has put him in similar situations before during a mission. Only difference is that he still got some sleep even with Rosa's snoring.

He went towards Rosa side with his towel secured to his waist covering the bottom part of his body, he then gently poked her face as she began to stir in her sleep, "Pssst, Rosa wake up. It's time to wake up for breakfast" he whispered.

Rosa kept stirring as she didn't want to wake but Ken insisted that she be woken up so he went close to her ear and whisper again, "Rosaaaa, time to wake up"

Rosa immediately opened her eyes wide and backed away from him as she heard his soft whisper and cold breath breathing near her ear and neck, her blush was as bright as her eyes as she tried to keep her composure. "Wha-wha-wha-wha-what are you trying to do you pervert"

Ken was left dumbfounded as he had no idea why she was so flustered, but of course any girl who hears a man's whisper while they breath near your ear and neck would get flustered, especially when they see a man half naked with only a towel covering their bottoms. "Put some clothes on damn it!" She yelled.

Ken simply smiled as he went towards his closet and entered the...wait what? Did he just entered his own closet? Rosa was now the next to be left with a questioned look as Ken left entering his own closet to do Monty knows what in there. But minutes later he exited the closet fully clothed with his combat outfit and went towards the exit of the dorm, "If you want breakfast, the location of the cafeteria is on your scroll. I'll be at the library if you need me" with that Ken left Rosa alone with a puzzling look on her face, she climbed out of her bed and went straight towards her leader's closet. She tried to open it but it was locked shut which greatly irritated her, she went to get Violet Stinger to try and get the closet to open and activated it from it's folded compacted form which was the shape of a small black rectangle box to it's machete melee form. She then stabs it by the gap between the door and it's frame and tried opening it with only little to no success, what ever lock this door had it locked good cause it wasn't budging. "Geez this thing is hard as steel, what does he have behind this closet anyway?" She mumbled to herself out loud.

She decided to leave it for now and went to the bathroom to take a quick bath and go eat breakfast afterwards to ready herself for her initiation.


30 minutes later

Ken sat once again with professor Goodwitch, she didn't mind having him to sit in the same table as her but she didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea. Ken had only asks to sit by her table cause no student was present this early, some can be visible walking outside but guess nobody wanted breakfast this early in the morning. "Mr Markes, what brings you once again in this fine morning?"

Ken looked up to the professor as he continued to eat, "Not much professor, what about you? Is there anything new you would want to tell about?"

Goodwitch kept her eyes on her scroll with a coffee mug on her other hand as she replies, "I've recently received a message from professor Ozpin stating that your father and the rest of your squad will be coming here to beacon"

Just as she finished, Ken had spluttered his drink as soon as he heard his father coming to beacon. Thankfully he turned the other way to avoid the blonde teacher from getting sprayed with water, "Wha-what?! Why wasn't I informed with this information?" He asked demandingly.

"Professor Ozpin said that there is a certain threat here in Vale that seems to have taken the interest of the royal guardians organization" she informed him while adjusting here glasses. Ken gave out a sigh as he calmed himself to continue his breakfast "Is there anything els I need to know professor?" He asked politely.

She looked up to him and back to her scroll as she replied, "Not that I know of, I believe you'll be informed as soon as they come here"

Ken nods as he asked her one last question, "How long do they come here exactly?"

"I believe they will be arriving in two days"

"Two days? Okay thank you for the information professor Goodwitch" his reply was just as polite as the last only he shot her a smile before taking another a bite of his meal, she returns the gesture and brushes a trail of hair behind her ear. "This boy is by far the most politest student I've ever met"

"Please call me Glynda, but only when we're alone. I'm sure you're mature enough to know the reason, your gentle attitude has earned you my respect Mr Markes" she shots him a satisfied grin.

Ken chuckles and looks back at his meal, "I have my leaders to thank me for it"

"They taught you well"

After minutes of chatting Rosa soon enters the cafeteria and walks up towards Ken and Goodwitch to greet them, "Morning Ken, morning professor"

"Hello miss DeLaise, hope you're having a nice day"

"Hey there Rosa, hurry up and eat some breakfast"

Rosa does as she is told and goes to grab her breakfast, later she comes back at the table with her tray filled with bacon and sits next to Ken. "Sooooo Ken, what do you plan on doing today?"

"I'm probably going to the library and try to find some books about A.I.-s"

"A-I?" She asks

"Artificial Intelligence"

"Oh okay, why do you need an artificial intelligence for?"

Ken finishes his meal and drinks his water and sets it on the trey, "It'll make things easier for me to work on in task I need done, I've had the idea for awhile so I plan finally putting it to action"

"Hmmm okay, are you going to accompany me later at beacon cliffs?" She asks while filling here mouth with more bacon. "Sorry Rosa, I've got a few things to prepare for something but I promise I'll make things up by treating you anything you want"

She pouts and folds her arms looking away from him, almost like a child when they get upset "'Hmph', anything I want?"

"Yes anything"

Rosa gives him a smirk before speaking, "I'll think about, but remember that you said it so don't forget it" that last sentence she sticks out her finger and pushes it against his nose. "Of course, I promise"

Later team RWBY goes to sit beside them with breakfast, "Helloooo everyone, Morning there Ken" Yang greets while pushing her bosoms on top of Ken's head, of course Most guys would be aroused for this kind of situation but Ken was different. He merely shows a look of unamused, "Morning Ken" Ruby greets.

Ken sighs and stood from his seat and starts to depart, "Good morning everyone, I'd like to chat with you all but I must be going. I have important matters I must attend"

"You're leaving already?" Rosa says with a slightly sad tone, "But we just got here" Ruby argues.

"I'm sorry Ruby, I promise I'll make it up things up"

Just as he was about to leave, Yang had grabbed hold of his arm to pull him closer, "Come on wonder boy, don't you want to accompany us lovely ladies...I know you want toooooo"

Ken had a puzzling look as he gently retracted his arm back from Yang's hold, "I'm sorry Yang, it won't take too long. If you need me I'll be at the library" with that he began walking towards the entrance with Goodwitch by his side since she decided to leave when team RWBY had sat on their table. "I should probably prepare a few things before dad and my team arrives"

Yang sat back to her place with a disappointed look since she wanted the young soldier to stay, frankly they haven't spoken to him in a while since his initiation. She turns to look at Rosa who was already close to finishing her meal and asked her "Hey Rosa was it? Why does he seem like a antisocial type? You seem like you've know him for awhile, do you know what's up?"

It was one of the reasons why she wanted to leave from the table, not that she didn't like team RWBY except Weiss perhaps. No she liked making friends, but what she didn't like was being interrogated by questions about someone. "Well ummmmm he just likes work that's all, don't feel so left out, he is a very social person I assure you"

"Okay but why is it that he leaves a lot?" Blake was the next to asks, everyone paid keen attention to Rosa even Weiss as they waited for her to answer. "You see, wellllllll he's a social person yes, but when he has things to do he tends to be determined to get the task done as soon as possible" she explains.

"Hmmm he doesn't seem interested in women, normally most men would be quite flustered when faced with situation like Yang's early 'morning greetings' I mean did you guys see his face, he didn't react like most guys. I bet he likes men" Weiss spoke, she had notice Ken's earlier expression when Yang placed her two melons on his head. Ruby argued with her theory, denying the possibility of Ken liking the same gender," Weiss don't say things like that, you don't know that for sure"

"Actually I can answer that"

Everyone turned their heads to Rosa as she answered her, "Well you see, Ken is smart, brave, strong and a very good leader...but when it comes to romance welllllll he's an idiot"

"Wait what?" Team RWBY said in unison.

"Ken most of the time focuses on being a soldier, training, missions, and well he never really learned anything that involve forming a relationship. Heck! He can't even spot the obvious signs of when a girl likes him"

"Are you serious?" Yang was in the verge of laughter as trying to imagine a dumbfounded Ken knowing almost nothing about love, hell he probably doesn't even know about the birds and the bees. "Does he know about the birds and the bees?" Yang asks.

Ruby cheeks were visibly red as to the question Yang had asks Rosa, even she knew about the birds and the bees. Ken must be an idiot if he didn't know about these things, that or his squad mates probably never bothered to crack some jokes relating to the topic. "I don't know for sure but he probably doesn't know" she answers. Blake shook her head slowly as to even the captain of the royal guardians had no knowledge to such natural expression, Weiss rolled her eyes as she silently pity the young soldier to his sense of stupidity. Rosa immediately got an idea as she informed the four girls, "Heyyy guys, do you want to help me with something that's been bugging me for awhile"

Blake was the first to answer, "It depends, what is it?" Rosa grins as she explains, "In my dorm Ken has a closet, I noticed him go inside half naked and minutes later comes back out fully clothed. I tried to get it to open but it wont budge"

"And you're asking us to help you open this closet" Yang already knowing her request, "Yes, I know for sure that there's more to it then just being a simple closet. I need your help to confirm this"

Yang: "He probably has something in there worth millions of lien"

Ruby: "Or a secret stash of cookies"

Blake: "A shrine perhaps"

Weiss: "Or just I don't know...CLOTHES MAYBE!"

"Weiss that's wayyy to obvious, I say we help Rosa on this. You with me little sis?" Yang turns to the red hooded youngster, she nods and points to her teammates. "I am in, what about you Blake and Weiss?"

"Pass"

"It's a waste of time, they're obviously clothes"

Weiss was always the one never found anything fun to do, she always had her eyes on textbooks and when she had free time she always does homework. They weren't surprised she didn't have any interest on joining, Blake was as well but she would sometimes join them in some activities but trying to open someone else's closet is just stepping on their privacy. "You guys are no fun, alright Rosa where exactly is your dorm?" Yang asks.

"Our room is in the first year hallway, I wanna find out before I go to Beacon cliffs so it's best to go now"

The two yellow and red quickly stuffed all the food into their mouths and followed Rosa to her dorm, "Alreyt lezzzz ooo (Alright Let's Go)" the two sisters said and walked along side the red eye princess.

Weiss watched the two leave with a disgusted look, seeing the two fill their mouth with all kinds of food was very displeasing for the heiress. Blake hadn't noticed since her eyes were glued to her book ignoring the outside world. "Those two are seriously unmannered childlike dunce"

"What do you expect from those two, they always were odd in a way" said Blake not leaving her eyes from the page.


Two hours till initiation

Rosa lead the two to her dorm going to the same hallway as team RWBY and JNPR's dorm, she opened the door and let the two go inside first before closing the door slightly. She lead them to Ken's closet which finally was time to open, "Okay guys, if you want you can try to open it but believe me it wont be easy"

Ruby walked up towards the closet and went to turn the knob of the door, she notices the tightness of the knob as she tried her very best to pull the door open but had no success. "Wow when you said it's not easy, you meant it" Ruby points out.

"I told you"

Yang was the next to try, she cracks her knuckles and goes to grab the knob like Ruby, "Step a side ladies, let a real women do the job" she then first slightly pulls the knob but had no success, tries again only a bit harder but the result was the same, she tries again even harder but still no change. She then spits on her hands and goes to pull the knob with all the force she had. Her face began to turn red from the pressure and as soon as she starts to lose grip, she stumbles backwards towards Ruby and Rosa and falls to the ground. She looks up at the entrance of the closet but appeared to have not have even move the slightest, this made her grew irritated and began recklessly punching the door.

To her surprise, the door didn't even form any crack or damages as she continued to punch her way through. What ever the door was made off, it for sure didn't look like it was opening anytime soon. Yang had lost her patients and summoned Ember Celica this time break the closet open, but thankfully Ruby and Rosa had prevented her from swinging the first punch by grabbing her arms from behind. "Yang calm down, we're just trying to open it, not break it" said Ruby.

"She's right, plus he'll be super pissed if he finds his closet destroyed"

Yang had slowly calmed herself down but not before screaming to the closet, "JUST WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS CLOSET DOOR MADE OF!"

Ruby was the next to observe the door and knocks to see it's material of what it was made off, "it's...made of wood"

"WELL THEN WHY CAN'T I BREAK IT"

Ruby continued to look at the closet with Rosa staring the door down next to her, Yang was left at the corner furiously tapping her feet against the ground. Later they heard a familiar voice at the entrance of the dorm and turned to look who it was "What's going on here?"

The three found none other then Ken himself who had heard the sound of pounding across the hallway, he decided to go back to his dorm to grab his book which he had left but found three girls inside. Two staring at his closet and one tapping her feet at the corner.

"Ken?!" They said in unison.

"What are you three doing here?" He asks, the three immediately felt the nervous tension building up as they watch the young soldier stare them down like a parent waiting for their child to answer for their naughty behavior. "We ummmmm ahhhh we're ummmm trying to ahhhh make a new...handshake?" Rosa answers.

"A handshake? A handshake that involves making loud pounding noises?"

Ruby tried to her best to blend in with Rosa's obvious lie, "Yaaaa ummmm we were trying lots of stuff, you know...girl stuff"

"Girl stuff"

"Ya girl stuff" Said Ruby and Rosa giving Ken their best smiles

"Oh my gosh! Ken what exactly do you have behind that closet?!" Yang had already lost her patients earlier so she intends to find out now that he's here. "My closet? Is that why you were all making that noise?"

The two youngsters look at each other and bows their heads looking at their feet then nods with guilt, they knew they were already caught from their lie so there was no point on lying anymore. Ken couldn't help but smile as he appreciate their honesty and ruffles the top of their heads as he walked in front of the closet, "If you guys wanted to know that badly then you should have just asks"

The three immediately got close to him as they waited for him to open the closet they so dearly wanted, "Really?!" They said.

What's with all that ruckus?!" Weiss sticks her head inside the room to find the three girls leaning close to Ken as he pulled out his key to open the closet, Blake was by her side and sticked her head inside on top of Weiss to check the scene. "Oh hey Weiss, Blake. You're just in time to watch what's finally inside Ken's closet" Yang informed the two and turned back to Ken as he inserted the key on the keyhole.

"Like I said, this is nothing worth my time knowing, so hurry up and open the closet already you dunce" Weiss demanded, Ken rolled his eyes and turned the key making the lock open and slowly open the door. "Alright guys" He slowly spoke.

The girls began leaning closer him as the door slowly opened, "Behind this door..."

Yang: "Something valuable?"

Ruby: "Cookies?"

Blake: "Ninjas of love?"

Rosa: "Dead bodies?"

Weiss:...

"Are..."

"Are?" The tension began to build up as Ken watched the girls leaning in even closer to see what was behind the closet

"...my clothes" Ken opened the door wide as they saw nothing els but clothes and school uniforms behind the closet they've been desperately trying to open. The three girls Yang, Ruby and Rosa were left dumbfounded and later fell on their faces, Blake and Weiss shook their head and exited the room. "I told you they were just clothes" Weiss said.

Later Yang and Rosa stood back up on their feet as they looked back at the closet with a displeased Ken by it's side with his arms crossed, "Well that was anti climatic" Yang said looming very unimpressed.

"Well guess all that effort was for nothing" Rosa had the same expression as Yang standing next to her still looking at the closet, Ruby was now on her knees as she still had her head down not wanting to look up. "Ruby is something wrong ?" The blonde asks the scythe-wielder.

Ruby only responded by looking at the ceiling and screaming at the top of lungs.

"WHAT KIND OF ENDING OF A CHAPTER WAS THAT?!"

Unison: See ya laters.


Bonus Credit Scene

Somewhere on a Mistral military airship bullhead was a man who appeared very build and tall, he had a cloak covering his entire body but the only thing that was visible was his weapon. It was a ginormous sword that seemed too big and heavy for any normal person to hold even huntsmen or huntress, but this man appeared to be holding it on his shoulder with ease as he continued to watch into the distance.

The man was deep in thought as he could hear the snores of the other passengers, the sky was dark as he let his thoughts roam free. "I wonder how Ken's been doing, we've got a lot to discuss as soon as we get to Beacon"


Bonus Extra Credits Scene

Just as everyone had left Ken's room with team RWBY going back to their business and Rosa heading towards Beacon Cliffs to begin her initiation, Ken was left alone and double checked to make sure that nobody els were still in the room. He then flips a secret switch by the side of his closet and a door opened to find a huge monitor with a keyboard and other devices which was all over the room, to be honest it almost seem like a man cave (or batcave) of a hacker. Ken grins at the sight and closes the secret entrance back and closed his closet "Thank goodness they didn't found the switch, I better lay low with this since Rosa is getting suspicious"
