(AN: Hey Guys Sapphire Orchid Here! How's it going everyone, I'm doing alright for now, and I just had to get out another chapter today. Word of warning though, updates will be sporadic and will not be as quick as this one was. Anyways that's all for today, I hope you guys enjoy, All our Days Chapter 2.
"This will be the day we're waiting for, this will be the day we're-" Stopping her humming a small red haired girl turned and saw a man in a suit motioning for her to take off her headphones.
...
I was attacked today, well not attacked, but I was almost mugged so I started attacking. Anyways, these guys came to this store I was in, I was listening to This will be the Day, yeah I know I listen to it too much, but it's my third favorite song, I can't just not listen to. Wait back on topic, so these guys came in, and one of them made me take off my headphones, and I was acting all cool like, of course I saw his weapon , but pretended not to notice and said...
...
"Huh." She said stupidly not noticing the weapon by the man's side, "Sorry, did you need something?"
"I said hands in the air, now!"
...
I played it off though, like the professional I am...
...
"Oh my God!" She shouted in surprise as a sword was waved in her face, "You could have cut me!"
...
I was totally aware the whole time...
...
Ruby tried to back away only to slip on her fallen magazine. She pushed off of the stand behind her and instead fell forward, right into the mugger.
"Hey no don't touch that-!"
But he was too late in his warning as a large piece of dust fell from his belt and landed in between them, sending the man flying backwards through a window and the girl to slam into a wall of toilet paper and paper towels, "Ooh, squishy."
...
This third guy came around the corner while I was hiding behind a nicely stacked pile of toilet paper, so when he walked by I decided to jump him, yes, yes, no need for applause please, I know that I'm awesome...
...
"What the hell happened here?" The man said as he scanned the area, he saw a crappy mound of toilet paper and decided to ignore it for now, so where was the attacker. He bent down when he saw a black mark on the ground, "So whoever did this can use dust, now where is-"
"Haha!" Ruby shouted as she leapt out of her prison, unknowingly landing on top of the criminal, "I am the victor, even paper is bested by... the Great Ruby Rose!"
...
You know, it was pretty hot that day when it happened at around 4, maybe 5...
...
Ruby turned around and saw that her would be assailant had went flying through a window, she was about to take out her scroll and call someone, when she noticed that it was pitch black outside. Her eyes snapped to a nearby clock and saw that it was nearly eleven, "I'm late!"
She went flying out the broken window and was looking around for any coming cars when she heard a man say, "Get her," and two pairs of foot steps running towards her.
...
You know I'm surprised at myself, I've definitely gotten control over my bi polar problem, I put on my Rose mask, and then was easily able to dispatch those crooks quickly and efficiently...
...
"Mwhahahahaha!"
"This girls crazy!" Henchman number 3 shouted in fear, as his partner, here by mentioned as Henchman number 4, or Derek for short, was sent flying into the side of a nearby apartment complex, "By the Gods, someone please help us."
...
Like I said, I've got perfect control now.
...
"Wow, his leg should not be bent that way," Roman Torchwick muttered to himself as he stepped out of the dust shop.
"Heh, sorry about that," Ruby said sheepishly.
"You're sorry!?" The man said in shock.
"Yeah, I get carried away every once in a while."
The orange haired man stared at her for a minute, contemplating, "Hey Red, are you looking for a little extra cash?"
"Nope," was her short reply.
...
Not going to lie, I was starving, could totally go for a burger right now, actually...
...
"Why not?"
"I'm only fifteen."
"By the- fifteen, these guys were hired profess- wait scratch that thought," he muttered, "So you're not going ot reconsider, or..."
"Nope sorry, I got a lot of stuff on my mind right now," she said, and then to herself she whispered, "Where's the nearest burger place?"
"What was that?"
"I said where's the nearest burger joint... it has to sell cookies too!?"
"Cookies? No, never mind whatever, you know these guys were worth every cent I tell you, never going to pay for twenty bucks per day men ever again. Anyways, Red, the best place I could tell you is down the street take a left and then make a right onto the next street, the guy who owns it looks exactly like this old guy. Now then, it was a pleasure, truly it was, but I need to go," he raised his his cane and the bottom popped off, "So I guess I'll see you... never."
...
I'm back and boy, was it a great idea to go get that burger, it was amazing, anyways... where was I...
...
Ruby leapt into the air over the small missile and landed next to the shop owner, "Are you alright, sir?"
"Uh huh."
"Wow, you can talk with your mouth closed,"Ruby said in awe before snapping out of it, "Alright, I'm gonna go after him, take care."
...
I always wanted to learn to talk with my mouth closed. Anyways, I ran to the building and flew to the top of it only to see the man standing there with a red dust crystal...
...
"End of the line, Red," the man said and tossed the dust at her feet before firing.
"Whoa-ho-ho-ho! That was awe- wait, huh?"
A woman in purple and white stood before Ruby with a... riding crop in her hand.
"We got a huntress!" the man shouted and jumped into the cockpit of the bullhead.
...
So this woman came out, she was pretty I guess, had a nice red dress on, but anyways the most important thing, I met a huntress. Yeah, i was so excited, this was the first time I actually got to meat a huntress that wasn't trying to arrest me, it was awesome. So the woman in red walks out and her and the huntress use this cool type of magic, I'm guessing it was their semblance, but still in the end the bad guys got away, and I got free cookies for saving the day...
...
"I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger," the woman said exasperated.
"They started it!" The girl shouted indignantly."
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back ...And a slap on the wrist." she then demonstrates with her wand, which barely missed the girl's hand.
"Eeek," she squeak before glaring at the woman.
"Please take off your mask," the woman said ignoring the look.
"Huh?"
"The mask that you are wearing, please take it off."
"But my identity!"
"Ms. Rose," she said shocking the girl, "We already know who you are, now please take the mask off before I am forced to remove it."
With a sigh the girl complied, but she couldn't help but say, "Isn't it illegal to have corporal punishment."
"But... there is someone here who would like to meet you," the woman ignored her.
"Oh, and what bozo of yours wants to meet me."
...
In hindsight, I probably should have been nicer, at least until I knew who I was talking to...
...
The woman looked ready to sty and smack her again when said bozo walked out, "Calm down, Glynda, I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it. Now then, you are Ruby Rose, correct?"
"Yeeeeeees?" she said in question.
"You have... silver eyes?"
"Uh, um."
"So!" he interrupted before gesturing with his head at the tablet showing Ruby's fighting, "Where did you learn to do this?"
"From a friend or two," she dodged.
"Well, Ms. Rose, I've only ever seen two people fight that well with a scythe, one is a master and one is a monster. From the brutality of your fighting I would have suggested the latter," here he moved to another video clip. This one was of a blue haired teen. The boy was fighting against a group of people, one of which wielded a scythe. He leapt at the scythe wielder and proceeded to break the man's leg from the knee and ripped the scythe from his hands, from there a proceeded to use the weapon to defeat the rest of the enemies.
"Saff,"she thought in shock.
"But," he interrupted her thoughts, "You have skill to go along with it, so maybe both."
Here he showed a third video, it showed a dark haired man fighting off several white fang members with skill and presicion, "Now tell me Ms, Rose, who did you learn from, both, the master, or the monster?"
"He isn't a monster," Ruby shouted and glared heavily at the man.
"The leader of a group of monsters is not a monster himself?" Ozpin replied.
"None of them are monsters!"
Ruby's glare began to die down at the shocked looks of the professors. The redhead slowly fell back into her chair and slowly began to slid her palm up and down her right arm, she could still remember the pain, "Especially Saff, Saff isn't like that, he's a great man."
"Saff?" Ozpin immediately asked.
Mentally berating herself for the slip up Ruby began her next half truth, of course she couldn't lie, "Saff is the name he gave me when we first met, it's probably an alias or nickname."
"Sapphire," he had said and clarified at her confused look, "My name, it's Sapphire Orchid, nice to meet you Ruby Rose." And he held out his hand with a smile, it was nice, nice and bright.
"Well then Ms. Rose, I am actually inclined to believe you," he said, "I have even go so far as to ask the man if he would come to Beacon."
"Saff is coming to Beacon!" She shouted in happiness, maybe, maybe should would be able to see him again even though it had only been five months since she had last run into him, maybe she could-
"Sadly no," the man ruined her dream, "He flat out refused to come, but he did say to look out for a young red head in his stead, at first I had thought he meant Ms. Nikos, but now I think I know who he was talking about, so what do you think."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to come to Beacon?"
...
He had asked me if I wanted to come to Beacon, I didn't know what to say, not only had Sapphire recommend her but the headmaster was actually considering it. I sat there for what felt like hours, before I finally answered...
...
"Une Arc," a voice said snapping her out of her nap, "Nice to meet you."
"Hm, what?"
