Hi guys I'm back, just to let you guys know I'm still unsure on who Auron will be with so yeah thats still up in the air. Also Baz wanted to say something really quick.

Baz: What's up kiddies, I just wanted to tell yall that I'm gonna have Fidelis answer your questions in a new drabble chapter. I meant to tell yall this on my most recent chapter of The White Mask but forgot so I'm hijacking Vance's intro. Send me in the PMs any questions you want to see our favorite faunus answer and maybe I'll choose yours. Any way I've taken enough of Vance's time. Enjoy.

Sephiroth turned off the shower and stepped out grabbing a towel, he was the only one in the locker room since it was so early. One of the disadvantages to having hair like his was that it needed a lot of time and care to be maintained. Every time he showered he used an entire bottle of both shampoo and conditioner. While this did take a good bit of time it was worth it to have hair that would make any fashion model mouth water. It was also a good thing that the Schnee company also made and provided the products or else his bank account would be hurting terribly, he didn't go cheap when it came to his hair.

After spending several minutes toweling off he went to his locker and got dress and ready for the day, after checking his weapon and dust cartridges he made his way back to the ballroom where most of the other student were still sleeping. He walked over to where he and Weiss had slept, he'd already put away his sleeping bag, and knelt down next to his sister. Putting his hand on her shoulder he gently shook her. "Weiss, it's time to wake up." He whispered to he as she stirred.

Weiss rolled over away from him. "Just a little longer Sephy." She mumbled causing her brother to chuckled.

Thinking of a way to convince her to get up he leaned in towards her ear. "If you don't wake up soon all the private showers will be taken and you'll have to use the shared ones." Weiss's eye shot open as she sat up and quickly scrambled towards to girls locker room. Sephiroth grinned at how well he knew his sister before making his way towards the mess hall to get himself something to eat only to pause when he saw Blake asleep in her corner. Deciding that she probably didn't want to use the shared showers either do to her secret he walked over and gently shook her as well, though he got a very different reaction.

The moment he placed his hand on her shoulder to shake her her eyes shot open and she grabbed his arm and tried to flip him over only for him counter by using his other arm to get her in a neck lock and restraining her. "Calm down Blake, it's just me." He whispered to the girl who stopped struggling at the familiar voice. Sephiroth let her go and offered her a hand to get up. "My apologies, I didn't mean to startle you like that. I just thought you might appreciate a head start for the showers like my sister.

Blake took his hand and straightened he ukata while trying to hide a faint blush on her face. "It's fine, it's just reflex. Thank you." She quickly rushed off to the showers while still hiding her blush.

Sephiroth continued on his way to the mess hall to get some food, he decided to eat light with just an apple, some toast, and a nutrients drink. "Morning." He heard from behind him and turned to see Auron holding a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

"Morning." Sephiroth replied as he watched Auron pour a small amount of the sake in his gourd into his coffee.

Auron gestured for him to follow as the two exited the mess hall and once again made their way to the courtyard where, other than a few early risers doing exercises, they were alone. "I assume you have a plan to get us on the same team?" Auron asked as he sat down and finished off his breakfast.

Sephiroth nodded. "I did some digging into what the initiation was and have a good grasp of how everything should go down. Ensuring you and I are partners should be a simple task." Sephiroth explained to the the other teen who was sipping at his coffee. During their conversation the day before the two had decided that it would be best if they were paired up for multiple reasons. The first and most important was to lessen the chance of someone else learning their true level of power. The second so that they would always be in contact with the other. The third and final reason was because they didn't completely trust each other yet and wanted to keep an eye on the other, however they were up front about their suspicions. Either one of them could prove to be a very large threat if they wanted.

"Good morning gentlemen." The two turned to see Ozpin walking up holding a mug and his cane.

"Headmaster." Sephiroth replied nodding his head while Auron just grunted.

"I was actually hoping I'd run into you two together." Ozpin smiled as neither reacted to his statement. "I was hoping I could ask of you a favor." Ozpin looked around and saw that they were now alone in the courtyard. "I'm very well aware that the both of you are on a different level of skill and strength then your first year classmates, it's because of this that I would like to ask the two of you to ensure the safety of the other students during initiation today."

Sephiroth looked to Auron who shrugged. "And why would you think we're any stronger than our peers professor?" Sephiroth asked raising an eyebrow.

Ozpin chuckled. "I think you'll find I know quite a bit more than you think. SOLDIER, Guardian." Both mens eyes widen at these two words. "Calm down, I've known for quite some time. Even before your little show in Mistral three years ago Mr. Schnee." Neither Sephiroth nor Auron spoke. "I don't want you to step in to help anyone unless you feel they are in mortal danger or are in over their heads. Have a good day Mr. Schnee, Mr. Scarlatina."

The two didn't move as the Headmaster walked away. "That wasn't how I saw this going." Auron finally broke the silence.

"Me neither."

The Locker rooms

Sephiroth and Auron had parted ways shortly after Ozpin had dropped his little bomb on them, Sephiroth had decided to go find Weiss while Auron went off to do his own thing. When he found her she was talking to Pyrrha, he smiled when he saw her 'scheming' face. "Good morning you two." He said getting their attention.

"Sephiroth." Pyrrha smiled greeting him.

Weiss placed a hand on her shoulder. "I was just talking to Pyrrha about being on a team with you and I."

Sephiroth raised and eyebrow at his sister already knowing what she was planning. "Sounds great."

"You know what else is great? Me, Jaune Arc." A blonde boy spoke stepping in between him and his sister before he began hopelessly trying to flirt with her. Normally this kind of thing would bug him, he was just as protective over Weiss as she was over him when it came to members of the opposite sex, but he could tell that this Jaune was harmless, in more ways than one.

Sephiroth turned his attention to across the room where he saw Blake sitting on a bench reading his book he lent her. "Sephy, a little help here?" His attention was brought back to his sister and the boy who was still attempting to flirt with her.

Deciding it was time to play the scary brother he placed a hand on Jaune's shoulder causing him to turn and look up at Sephiroth. "I think that's just about enough Arc, please respect my sisters personal space." He spoke in a calm voice but decided to add in a little bit of malice to his tone while squeezing the boys shoulder slightly. Jaune seemed to get the picture as he nodded nervously. "Good." He let go of the boys shoulder just as the announcement to head to the cliff came over the intercom.

Jaune fell to his knees as Sephiroth walked away along with his sister and Pyrrha, though he looked back and saw the girl Weiss took interest in helping him up.

The Cliffs

Sephiroth stood second to last next to Auron on the launch pads as they listened to Ozpin explain the rule to everyone. "So whats your plan?" Auron asked.

"You'll see." Sephiroth said crossing his arms as people starting at the other end began getting launched. As it was reaching him and Jaune was sent flailing through the air he stepped off his platform just before it launched and quickly shoved Auron off his as it launched leaving the two teens standing on the cliff alongside the two Professors who just stared at Sephiroth as if he had just grown a second head.

"Really? That was your plan?" Auron asked as Sephiroth shrugged. "I could have thought of that."

"Then why didn't you?" He smirked.

"Excuse me?" They both turned to a scowling blonde woman holding a scroll. "What exactly do you two think your doing?"

Sephiroth gave a quick bow. "My apologies, just stacking the deck in our favor." Sephiroth then held up his hand and created a glyph that summoned a large Nevermore big enough for the two teens to hop on.

Glynda then looked to Ozpin as the two flew off. "Can they do that?" She asked her boss.

Ozpin shrugged. "I'm not sure, no one's ever tried it."

Glynda just sighed and went back to her scroll. "Forget it, it's not worth the head ache." As she said this her scroll pinged showing a new message. After opening it she frowned. "It's for you." She show the message to Ozpin who laughed at it's contents.

"Tell them I agree to their terms." He took a sip of his coffee.

"How did they even get my number?" She mumbled as she typed out the reply.

With Sephiroth

Standing atop the nevermore Sephiroth looked out over the forest keeping watch over the other students, Auron was sitting with his scroll out typing away at it. "They agreed." He told the long haired boy. "Though we will have some extra responsibilities as well."

Sephiroth glance back at him as he took a swig from his gourd. "What exactly did you ask for?" Sephiroth was actually curious, Auron just proposed the possibility of getting some kind of payment for their service of watching over their fellow students, Sephiroth was skeptical that Ozpin would actually agree.

"Well for one you and I don't have to wear those uniforms." Sephiroth actually snorted at that and let out a loud laugh. "We'll be given low profile missions in Vale with payment, and finally no homework." Auron explained with a smile at the perks they were given. "As for our extra tasks, we'll be giving tutoring sessions to other students who are struggling, we'll act as back up for other teams out on missions, and we'll be acting as the first year class representatives. Basically we're going to be the middle men between the students and the teachers as well as disciplinary officers."

Sephiroth nodded to the tasks. "Sounds reasonable."

"Here, I'm sending you the link Oz just sent me. It's the feed for the cameras in the forest."

The two remained on the back of the nevermore for several hours watching as their classmates all accomplished their goals, Sephiroth was proud when he saw Weiss working so well with her new partner. He was definitely going to bug her about getting paired up with the girl she liked, he'd also have to make sure she wasn't to hard on the kid. He was also happy to see Blake get paired up with someone who seemed to have a good heart, he would have been worried for her if she had been paired up with a certain few individuals in the year. The Arc boy caught his attention as well, he was clearly out of his league in Beacon though he did seem to have a decent tactical mind.

The group of eight all made their ways back up the cliff side and Sephiroth turned to Auron who had decided to take a nap while they waited for the others to complete their tasks. Sephiroth mental directed the bird they rode on to head back towards the cliffs where Ozpin and Goodwitch still stood. Auron was woken up by the movement of the bird landing. Sephiroth dismissed the summon as he looked to the headmaster. "All the students have achieved their tasks without incident."

"I'm aware, come on the naming ceremony is soon."

That Night

"Blake belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long. You four retrieved the white knight pieces and will from this day forward work together as team RWBY lead by, Ruby Rose." The crowd cheered as the announcement was made, though within the crowd Sephiroth frowned.

"That could cause problems later on." He said to himself seeing that Weiss had expected to be the leader. He loved his sister but she didn't tend to accept not getting her way very well and could already see the frustration on her face.

"And our last team, we have something a bit different." Ozpin said to the crowd causing whispers to flood the students. "Sephiroth Schnee and Auron Scarlatina, please step forward." Sephiroth looked to his partner who was across the room standing next to a second year team and nodded to him, the two quickly made their way onto the stage. "As headmaster of this academy, I am honor bound not to play favorites and give certain students special treatments over other. This is something I have maintained my entire career as an educator, however every few generations there comes a few special individuals that require a different approach to help achieve the fullest potential. The two of you will stand alone as your own team working in tandem with other teams should they require aid on missions. Your team has no leader and it will be up to you two to make decisions as a team. I expect great things from you two." He told them as he made his way off stage leaving the two teens alone with the questioning gaze of their fellow students.

"Wow, that was kind of a dick move." Auron said to his partner who just nodded and stepped of stage. "I'm gonna be a little late getting back to the room."

Sephiroth just waved his hand as he walked towards the newly formed team RWBY. He wasn't all to happy that Ozpin had all but screamed to the other students that he and Auron were different, but they would have figured it out eventually so he decided to let it slide for now. "Ruby, congrats on making leader. I'm sure you'll do a fine job, and I'm sure my sister will do everything in her power to help you." He looked directly at Weiss as he said this, in reply she merely scoffed.

"Thanks Sephiroth, congrats to you to. I bet you and Auron are excited about being the first two man team at Beacon!" She smiled happily, he could tell that was her default expression.

Sephiroth crossed his arms as he thought about it all. "I honestly could have done without the spotlight, but it is what it is. Well, I'm gonna go find my dorm room and get some rest, I get the feeling I'm gonna need it." As he turned to leave he paused and leaned into his sisters ear. "Play nice."

Later that night

Sephiroth sat atop the dorms roof staring up at the stars enjoying the silence. "I thought you said you were gonna get some rest." Blake spoke as she walked up to him from behind and took a seat next to him. "Here, I finished it." She handed him his copy of LOVELESS.

He shook his head. "Keep it, I've got multiple copies." She smiled and tucked the book away. "Your on a team with my sister, I wish you luck." He chuckled. "I love her, but she can definitely be a hard person to get along with at times. Still, she's got a good heart."

"So I've seen, though I get the feeling she's not as fond of faunus as you are." She pulled her knees closer to her.

Sephiroth gained a frown before nodding. "She hasn't many experiences with faunus, and those that she did weren't pleasant. White Fang assassination attempts, raids on our warehouses, the usual. She isn't the type to look past all that easily, and unfortunately she doesn't share my feelings on forgiveness." He could tell Blake was listening even if she made no attempt to reply. "Though I can say that lying to her will only make it worse when she finds out who you really are, and she WILL find out."

"Are you gonna..." Blake looked a bit scared as she turned to him.

"No, I won't betray your trust in me. However I can say that you will be living in close quarters with her and two other girls, sooner or later the truth will come out whether you like it or not. The sooner the better, the longer you wait the more it will hurt." The two sat silently staring up at the sky. "Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return."

Blake smiled. "Act three."

I think thats a good stopping point for this chapter. Honestly I share Baz's hatred of writing for the initiation, it's very hard to add or change anything in that whole area of the story so in the end I just kinda glossed over it. Tell me what you guys think and don't forget to send Baz your questions for Fidelis to read.
