Sooo Lima gets into a relationship...sorta. Anyway, onto the leader!
"Haha! So then, I…!"
Sierra smiled as Jaune continued his story telling. Despite the guys getting kicked out, Pyrrha allowed them to stay since they're a team. Sierra glanced at Ren and asked, "Is he always like this?"
"Affirmative," Ren replied. Sierra raised an eyebrow, opening her mouth and was about to ask about why he spoke like he did, quickly closing it. She thought it'd be better not to ask as Nora poked his nose, saying, "Boooop."
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Jaune, who was just about to get to the good part of his story. He fell back down on his bed, a little pissed off as Pyrrha walked up to the door.
"Good evening…?"
"Hello. I heard Sierra's sleeping with you guys tonight?"
"…why?"
Pyrrha glanced back from the door looking rather agitated. She shot a glance at Sierra, who was getting up. Sierra raised an eyebrow, wondering who it was at this hour. However, who it was, was someone who she would not have suspected.
"D-Dagger…?"
"Hello. I was wondering if you would go for a walk with me. The moon is beautiful, tonight."
The girl looked clearly distressed. Sierra contemplated her choices as Pyrrha turned to her and said, "I'm not sure if you should."
"…Well…what the hell," Sierra replied, "fine…I'll go…I guess."
"Sierra!"
"If all else fails," she replied, opening her eyes, showing their red glow whenever she activated her semblance. Pyrrha swallowed some spit as Sierra smiled and replied, "The end result won't be pretty."
The two walked side by side down the hall, heading towards the roof in utter silence. The faint sound of the crickets chirping outside, as well as the sounds of sleeping teams echoed through the hall as they climbed the stairs. Sierra didn't look at Dagger. She didn't look at Sierra. Even as they opened the door and stepped on the roof. They didn't communicate. They just stood in silence.
"…E…Excuse me…."
Sierra turned to Dagger, who looked too ashamed to look at her. Raising an eyebrow in question, she watched as Dagger turned to her with her mouth open, only to close it as if she were unsure. She fidgeted, opening her mouth again, but closed it yet again. She took a breath, opening her mouth again, only to close it again just as quickly.
"Jeez, you're driving me nuts, kid," Sierra finally said, "Just take a breath and spit it out!"
With a pat on the back, Dagger finally said, "P-please train me before tomorrow's tournament!"
Sierra's eyes widened in surprise at the request the girl had just made to her. She blinked as Dagger grabbed her hands, her eyes almost pleading. Her face was flushed with embarrassment as Sierra thought her possible outcomes.
"Stay up all night? Hell no. Cliff notes? Possibly. Or maybe I can…."
Sierra's lips slowly curved up into a grin. Dagger blinked as Sierra put a hand on her shoulder and said, "…Alright, but under one condition."
"Yes, anything!"
"You," Sierra stated, "or your team can't get between Ruby and Delta. Ever. Again."
"Wh-wha…? Th…that's…," Dagger stammered, glancing away just as quickly. Sierra smirked and said, "Oh? Then I take it you don't wanna get trained?"
"N-no no," Dagger replied, "Th-that's Saber who's obsessed with her! I was only playing along…."
Sierra smirked at the younger girl, activating her semblance. Her eyes turned red as she sent a knife flying towards Dagger, stopping just shy of the girl's face. The girl yelped in surprise as Sierra said, "Don't drop your guard, even for one second. That could be the difference between life and death."
Dagger remained frozen for a moment, finally snapping back to reality as she quickly rolled to the side. Sierra let the knife continue on its flight path, hearing a small "CHING" as it dug itself into the building. Dagger's hands began to glow as she materialized her weapons, taking a defensive position. Sierra's face brightened up as she said, "You've got better control of your weapons, I see."
The girl stood up, smiling as she nodded.
"But."
A knife suddenly appeared at her hand, hitting the dagger in her left hand, causing her to let go as it went flying towards Sierra, landing right next to her. Sierra smirked as she said, "You have to suppress that panic feeling you get whenever this happens."
Dagger raised her second dagger, prepared to charge recklessly at her. Sierra, however, had different plans. Her eyes turned red again as she froze time, stopping Dagger mid-charge, walking up to her and sticking a leg out. She unfroze time, feeling the girl trip over her leg as she said, "You trip…."
She froze time again, grabbing hold of the back of Dagger's shirt, unfreezing time again as she stopped just shy of getting stabbed by her dagger in her hand. The girl gasped in fright as Sierra continued, "And you might as well kill yourself at that point."
"Look, kid," Sierra said, "I've had my fair share of Deathstalkers here at Beacon; charging them is like running at a locomotive."
With a heave, Sierra got the girl back to her feet surprisingly easily. The girl grunted, turning to Sierra. Her senior by a semester continued, "And charging a full grown King Taijitu is like running at a runaway train."
Suddenly, a "CLANG" filled the air.
A knife went flying through the air as Dagger relaxed, her second dagger in her hand as she deflected another knife. She spun in the air, dodging two more, then cut the last one down, albeit not completely through as it hit the ground next to where Sierra was standing. Sierra smiled, proud of what the girl had just done.
"You move almost like Delta does," Sierra stated.
Dagger turned to face her and replied, "Well…he was the first person who's ever told me to improve."
Sierra raised an eyebrow in curiosity as Dagger continued, "Bro's always been better than me…so all I've had to do was follow his lead. Then he got accepted into Beacon. I didn't have the academics to pass, so we cheated my transcripts…which is something that's been bothering me since. But…."
She glanced up at Sierra.
"I…want to get better. I want to be better! Please help me, Sierra!"
With that, she bowed. Sierra blinked in surprise, glancing away from her momentarily. With a sigh, Sierra snapped her fingers, walking away from the girl. Dagger looked up, seeing herself surrounded by knives as Sierra said, "…see this?"
"If I ever hear of team SWRD fucking around with my team again," she stated, "these are all gonna go into that pretty little body of yours."
Sierra finally turned around, her eyes glowing a vicious red. Dagger swallowed her spit out of nervousness as Sierra finally sighed, closing her eyes as she waved the knives off. Each blade clattered along the ground as Sierra walked up to her, taking her into a surprise hug. Dagger gasped, stiffening up as Sierra smirked and asked, "Have you never hugged someone before?"
The girl remained stiffened as Sierra took it for a "yes." With a sigh, Sierra said, "…Fine…I'll help you out…but seriously; stay away from Ruby and Delta."
Dagger remained stiffened up, finally relaxing a bit as her instincts took it as a friendly gesture. She slowly wrapped her arms around Sierra and replied, "…I'll…try…."
"Thank you," Sierra said, finally pulling away. She smiled and said, "I…hope we can get along as teams."
Dagger blinked in confusion as Sierra continued, "I really don't want to have problems with anyone so…if you can get Saber to understand, please."
"I'll give it a shot," Dagger replied, smiling back at her.
