So Baz wants me to tell everyone that he's on vacation at the moment and can't up date any of his stories and doesn't have a lot of time to check PMs, he should be back on Monday. Until then you guys are stuck with me, lets get to this.

"Does that complete everything?" Sephiroth asked Ozpin who nodded while signing a piece of paper.

"Yes, I believe it does." Ozpin looked up at the two sitting across from him. "Ms. Belladonna, you should count yourself very lucky. Mr. Schnee has put not only his reputation on the line but possibly his career and freedom to, I suggest you don't betray his trust." The three all stood and walked out of the cafe, Ozpin was about to walk away as Blake and Sephiroth were getting into the limo that was still waiting. "You two be careful, I hope to see you both in a week."

The two got into the car and rode towards the hotel where Sephiroth had made a reservation. It didn't take long before they arrived, Sephiroth gave a generous tip to the driver before leading Blake inside to the counter. The worker didn't look up as he typed into the terminal in front of him. "Welcome to the Tranquility, how can we help you?

"I have a reservation." He answered to the man who typed in a few more things before looking up at the two.

His face visibly soured when he looked at Blake. "I'm sorry sir but me don't serve... her kind here." Blake got an angry look on her face and was about to say something before Sephiroth held his arm out in front of her.

"Please go get your manager sir." Sephiroth said calmly.

The mans frown deepened. "I don't believe I need to, now if you two could leave your bothering our other gue-" He stopped mid sentence as he felt an unmistakable fall onto his shoulders as well as a chill form around the lobby which had quickly become still and quiet as every bodies attention was instinctively drawn to the long haired swordsmen.

"Please go get your manager." Sephiroth repeated still sounding just as calm as before however this time there was an underlining tone that couldn't be missed. The kind that said 'fuck with me again'.

The man ran into the back and the weight in the room dissipated causing everyone present to stop holding the breath they hadn't realized they had been holding. "What was that?" Blake asked quietly as everyone in the lobby seemed to find reasons to leave quickly.

"My aura, I just gave it a bit of a flex is all." He grinned as he saw the manager approaching.

The man walked up and held out his hand to shake which Sephiroth accepted. "Hi there I'm Calvin Alka, what seems to be the problem Mr..."

"Schnee, Sephiroth Schnee." He answered causing the mans eye to widen. "I made a reservation here for the pent house for the next few days and when I tried to check in with my friend here you employee refused to allow us to stay because of my friends race. Now if her being a faunus is really that large of an issue I can easily take my business somewhere else, though without an apology to my friend I'm not sure I would feel comfortable staying here." Sephiroth explained calmly and with a knowing smile on his face, there were many disadvantages to coming from a rich and powerful family, but just as many advantages.

The man bowed quickly a few time. "Please Mr. Schnee that won't be necessary, your companions race will be of no issue what so ever. Jason come here!" He shouted behind him as the man from before walked over. "Apologize to the lady for your insolence!"

The man looked surprised at this followed by anger before he looked at his bosses expression and saw how serious he was. He turned to Blake and bowed his head. "I am very sorry Miss, it won't happen again." His voice was full of disdain but that only made Blake smile.

"Thank you, now if we could check in, it's been a rather long day." Sephiroth cut in causing the manager to personally check them in and take them up to the pent house. After entering the room which actually had multiple rooms to it Sephiroth turned to Blake. "Be at the airbus station by noon on Sunday." He told her before walking towards the master bedroom.

"Wait." She grabbed his sleeve stopping him. "Why are you going through all of this to help me. You're a Schnee aren't you? After everything the White Fang has done to your family and everything your family has done to faunus, why are you helping me?"

Sephiroth didn't look at her. "A long time ago there was a man who did terrible many horrible things. He killed thousands of innocent people, betrayed those who trusted and admired him, and deserved nothing more than to be killed and forgotten. That man was given a second chance to redeem himself." Sephiroth turned to Blake. "If a monster like him was blessed with another chance, I don't see why a beautiful girl like yourself can't have one either."

Blake just stared at him for a few minutes. "Thank you."

Sephiroth smiled. "Good night Blake." He walked into his bedroom and closed the door. Blake soon did the same in her room.

Several nights later

Roman Torchwick walked down the street confidently with a group of goons walking behind him, everyone on the sidewalk hurried away from the group of men. They were walking directly towards the neighborhood dust shop 'From Dust Till Dawn'.

What the group didn't see however was another person headed towards the very same shop however they were on the next street over. The figure, a teenage boy around seventeen years old, walked along the sidewalk. He wore a long red cloth coat that reached to just beneath his knee with a sash around his waste holding it closed, the collar of the coat was high up and connected around the front making it difficult to see the lower half of his face. Under the coat he wore a black undershirt and he wore a pair of baggy black jeans. He had a pair of black leather combat boots, on his face were a pair of black sunglasses and hanging from his waste was a gourd. Across his back was a large sword with a single edged blade, connect to the hilt was what looked similar to a motorcycles throttle.

He had short black hair and a large scar over his right eye. As he walked he kept his left arm out of the sleeve and let it rest above the sash where his coat opened. Even with his large sword not many people spared a second glance at him as he walked, it wasn't uncommon to see huntsmen in training walking around carrying their weapons.

As he walked he heard his scroll ring and pulled it out with his sleeved armed. "Hello?"

"Hey Auron, where are you right now?" A female voice with an accent asked through the scroll.

"I'm walking towards the dust shop, I need to restock on burn dust." He answered. "Why, do you need something?"

"Yes actually, if you could pick me up film from the drug store that would be great."

"Alright, I'll see what I can do. Bye sis." He then hung up his scroll and continued on his way. He turned the corner an saw his destination about a block away, as he approached the front door a man in a black suit flew through the glass, with his right arm he caught the man by the collar and looked inside before stepping back as another man came flying out this time with a teenage girl pressing her boots into his chest. When the two landed the girl pulled out a large mechanized scythe and flipped off her headphones. Several more men ran out of the building and attacked her as Auron stood back watching having now dropped the unconscious man he caught.

"Are you with Red?" Auron turned his head towards the voice and recognized Roman Torchwick, he'd seen the man multiple times on the news.

"No, did you leave any red dust?" He asked the criminal who didn't answer and instead was now talking to the girl who just finished up with his men. Auron turned and walked into the shop stepping over unconscious goons and walking past the scared owner. He walked over to the red dust dispenser and pulled out two cylinders from his coat, he hooked the two up and quickly filled them. When he was done he walked over to the counter and placed a few lien cards down on it before making his way out of the shop. "I left the money on the counter." He told the old man who was watching the girl chase Torchwick. After he was about two blocks away he turned and looked back to see flashed of light and multiple explosions as a VTOL flew away.

After seeing the smoking aircraft leave his sight he turned back around and continued walking. "Now where's the nearest drug store?"

The next day

Sephiroth sat next to Blake on the airbus to Beacon, he was reading his copy of LOVELESS but kept noticing Blake stealing glances at the book. After about ten minutes of this he sighed and closed the book before handing it to her. Blake blushed as she accepted it. "Thank you." She said shyly. She was wearing her bow even though he told her how much he hated it.

Over the past week the two didn't really see a ton of each other as they were usually off doing their own thing, however they did spend several meals talking and getting to know each other a bit better. All in all Blake was very surprised how down to earth Sephiroth was, usually when someone was raised with a platinum spoon in their mouth they would end up acting spoiled and entitled. Sephiroth didn't act like that however, never once did he do anything to insult her being a faunus, nor did he ever try to take advantage of the situation and try to get her into his bed. He'd been a perfect gentlemen the whole week, and she really respected him because of all this.

"Do you really need to wear that?" He asked looking at her bow with a frown.

Blake sighed, over the week he'd been very forward with his disapproval of her hiding what she was, though he never did anything give away her secret when she wore her bow. "Not everyone is like you Seph, not all humans can look past the ears and treat me like a person." She referred him by the nickname she started using because she said Sephiroth was a mouthful.

He nodded and closed his eyes before leaning his head back. "Any relationships you create while wearing that bow will be built on foundations of lies. It will only cause heart ache later." Blake didn't reply, instead burying her face into the book she now had.

After about twenty minutes a woman came on the holoscreen and welcomed everyone to Beacon, Sephiroth didn't pay much attention, instead he was searching for any trace of the large power source he felt years ago, he felt a sliver of it when they were boarding the airbus but nothing since. He figured they must be on another airbus, there were about five of them when they were first boarding.

"We're here." Blake said nudging his shoulder, when he opened his eyes he saw people were exiting the craft.

"Huh, I must have dozed off." He said standing up and following Blake off the craft.

As the two got off the ship they took a moment like every other new student to admire the building, Sephiroth had to admit it was beautiful even if it had nothing on the Shinra HQ. "So where to?" Blake asked him while still reading his book.

Sephiroth was about to say something before something caught his attention, something he was very familiar with. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

Sephiroth heard the shout and sighed lightly, as he made his way towards the source. Just as he thought he found his twin sister lecturing some poor girl, in her hand she was shaking a vial of dust with a loose cork. Already knowing how this was gonna go down he walked up to her from behind and caught her wrist before she could shake it anymore. "That's enough Weiss, give the girl a break."

Weiss's attitude changed instantly when she heard the voice of her brother, she spun around and wrapped her arms around him. "SEPHY!" She shouted happily. "We're at Beacon!" She shouted clearly excited. The red hooded girl mouthed the words 'thank you' to him, Blake just stood back and watched the little reunion. He'd told her about Weiss during their conversations so she was aware of how close the two were.

"Yes we are." He smiled as she let go of him. "Now what would Winter say if she saw you shaking around an improperly seal dust container Weiss?" He asked with a grin as she looked away embarrassed. "Come on, lets get to the auditorium." He then looked over at Blake. "I'll meet up with you later Blake." She nodded before heading off on her own and the two Schnee's began making their way towards the auditorium leaving the young hooded girl completely forgotten.

Unless you count the to boys who walked over to help her up from where she had laid down on the ground depressed. "Hi there, my names Jaune." The blonde one said helping her up. "And this is... actually I never caught your name."

"Auron."

With Sephiroth

"Your never gonna make any friends if you yell at everyone like that Weiss."

Weiss scoffed. "I didn't come to Beacon to make friends, I came you become a huntress."

Her brother only sighed at her attitude. "Just do me a favor and try to be a bit more friendly to people, you don't want to perpetuate the stereotype that all Schnee's are stuck up rich people do you?" He said chuckling as his sister grumbled at this.

"So Blake?" Sephiroth tensed up a bit when she said this, she already knew she was gonna tear into him just like she always did when he had even the smallest interaction with a girl. "Who is she?"

"I met her on the train ride here and decided to help her out." He was silently praying she would drop the line of questioning, he could only imagine the shit storm it would create if she found out they had shared a hotel suite for a week, even if they had separate rooms. The only thing that could make that nightmare worse was if she found out Blake was a faunus, he was actually starting to thank the goddess that Blake insisted on wearing that bow.

"And how did you help her?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

Sephiroth cringed inwardly as he tried to think of a way of telling her that wouldn't end in half the windows in Vale being shatter, but again by the will of the goddess he was saved. "Sephiroth?" He heard a familiar voice call his name and turned to the source. "Sephiroth Schnee, it's good to see you again."

"Pyrrha Nikos, it's good to see you as well." He approached the red head and held out his hand which she took an shook with a grip that could make most grown men wince. "I had a feeling I'd be seeing you here." It was a half lie, after their match two years ago he'd periodically look into her progress. she'd continued to improve immensely. He learned through a few private sources that she had applied for Beacon as well. "So, are you ready to overcome your obstacle?"

She smiled and shook her head. "Unfortunately I haven't reached that point yet, but one day I will."

Sephiroth nodded his head. "It takes far more bravery to admit one weakness than to prove ones strength. I also believe you will reach that level as well, and I look forward to it." As he was speaking with the redheaded warrior he felt the power from before enter the auditorium and looked to the door way to see the source. A teenage boy in a red coat and black glasses with a sword on his back.

The boy also looked over to him and their eyes met. "Weiss, Pyrrha, I'll catch up with the two of you later tonight. There's someone I need to speak to." He started walking over to the boy who just said goodbye to his two companions and nodded towards the entrance of the auditorium before making his way out. Sephiroth followed the boy until the two were alone standing under a large stone statue of a huntsmen. "Do you have memories as well?"

Auron was quiet before turning to Sephiroth. "Yes, are you from Spira?" He asked in return.

"No, the one whose memories I hold is from a world named Gaia. What's your name?"

"Auron, Auron Scarlatina. I already know who you are Sephiroth Schnee, so no need for introductions there." Auron grabbed the gourd from his side and pulled the cork with his teeth before taking a swig. "So, should I tell you my story first, or do you want to go?"

Sephiroth sat down at the edge of the statue. "Well the first thing about the former me's life is his employer, Shinra Electric Power Company."

Several hours later

Sephiroth stepped out of the shower, his hair still dripping wet as he walked towards the locker that had been provided to him. After taking a few minutes to towel dry his silver locks he put on a pair of black pajama bottoms and made his way towards the ballroom where the first years would be staying the night. His mind was still filled with hundreds of thoughts about the information he now had, Auron had told him all about his former life as a guardian.

Surprisingly he didn't seemed all that fazed after hearing about all the things Sephiroth had done on Gaia, but Sephiroth knew after what Auron had told him about his friend Jecht becoming Sin that he was all to familiar with the good turning evil. Sephiroth walked through the ballroom doing his best to ignore all the lustful eyes on him, he was seriously starting to regret not wearing a shirt. When he got to where he and Weiss had set down their sleeping bags he noticed hers was empty and looked around for her only to pinch the bridge of his nose when he saw her arguing with the same girl from earlier.

With a sigh he walked over to stop the fuss, then he saw Blake. She looked at him with a humorous smile. "Weiss." He said calmly placing his hand on his sisters shoulder. She turned to him before stomping off towards the sleeping bags still fuming. "I apologize for that, she's not usually like this." He looked at the younger girl with black and red hair. It took a few seconds of looking at her until he figured out what the deal was, he chuckled lightly before turning back to Blake who he gave a once over. "You look beautiful tonight, though I could do with out the bow." He smiled at her blush.

Ruby and Yang both took this as a good time to take their leave as Sephiroth sat down next to the secret faunus. "So what do you think so far?"

She closed the book he lent her. "It's different from what I'm use to."

He nodded. "You've already made yourself two friends." He gestured towards Ruby and Yang.

"The word friend is a little strong, I prefer pleasant distractions." She chuckled a little. "Hey Seph, are we friends?"

Sephiroth stood up and held out his hand to help her up. "Of course." She smiled and took the hand. "Get some rest Blake, I'd hate to see my friend get hurt tomorrow because she was tired." She smiled and nodded before making her way to her sleeping bag.

Sephiroth watched her go, admittedly his eyes may have wandered a bit south as she walked away but he was raised better than to stare. He made his way over to Weiss who was waiting for him. "What was that about?" Her arms were crossed and she looked suspicious.

"Just saying good night to a friend." He said as he laid down in his bag, he noticed she was still staring at him with a raised eyebrow. "What about you, Little Red?" Her face became crimson as he said this.

"I don't know what your talking about." She dismissed him quickly.

Sephiroth smiled as he realized he was spot on. Weiss always had a tendency to be harsher than usual to anyone she had an attraction to, that and she liked girls with red hair. She always kept the fact that she was attracted to other girls a secret because their father probably wouldn't approve, but Sephiroth knew his sister and supported her in her feelings. "Good night sis." He smiled and closed his eyes.

Yes there will be some White Rose in this story but it will be more of a side thing so don't expect it to take over. Also while I have decided upon Blake to be with Sephiroth, which I'm gonna try to keep it slightly slow building but who knows, I'm still deciding upon Auron's partner so tell me who you think would be good for him. Let me know how I did in the reviews and thanks for reading.
