Chapter 5: Sleep

The day dragged on as all the students moved their belongings to the ballroom. Suzaku and Euphimia walked into the room to see everyone settling in. Students laid their sleeping bags on the ground, brushed their teeth and rested their eyes. Suzaku saw Ruby with her sister - her sister was rather tall, only an inch shorter than him. She had long blonde hair and purple eyes. She laid next to her younger sister, talking - perhaps they were discussing the tournament.

Ruby saw them and waved them over. Suzaku walked over with Euphy then Ruby's sister noticed them.

"Hey." Suzaku nodded at Ruby and her sister with a soft smile as Euphimia waved, "It's good to see you. And you must be Ruby's older sister, it's nice to meet you", Suzaku said as he shook the blonde's hand. She nearly crushed it as she shook it. "You have a very strong grip!" Suzaku stated as the blonde let go.

"I am afraid your sister neglected to tell Suzaku your name", Euphy said. She smiled towards the blonde as she looked her over with a timid eye.

The blonde took on a smile of her own as she spoke, "The name's Yang. Who are you?"

Euphimia gave an oh' of realization as she clapped her hands together. "I apologize! Where are my manners? My name is Euphimia, though most call me Euphy for short."

Yang nodded as she looked over to Ruby. "Guess we're gonna have to find you a single man. Am I right?" Yang said as she elbowed her sister and gave her a sly grin.

Ruby blushed furiously as she and Yang argued, as siblings often do. Suzaku and Euphy smiled at the sisters when Suzaku decided to walked over to the guy's side of the ballroom - letting Euphy have some 'girl time'.

Jaune walked out of the bathroom and towards his sleeping bag in his pajamas when he saw Suzaku. Suzaku looked over and saw him as well and the two converged at Jaune's sleeping bag.

"Hello, Jaune", Suzaku said as they both waved at each other. "So how's school for you?"

Jaune smiled as he spoke, "It's been going well. Already a girl is falling for me!" he said as Suzaku gave him a confused expression.

It was hard to believe that he had gotten a girl already, considering he was a nervous wreck and was wearing bunny footies.

"Which one?" Suzaku asked as Jaune pointed to the white-haired Heiress.

Suzaku just stared in shock. "Seriously?" Suzaku turned back towards Jaune as he spoke, "Listen, as great as that sounds, I don't think she's the one for you."

Jaune looked appalled by the statement. "How do you know?" he said defensively.

Suzaku gave him a stare that said it all, but Jaunes obliviousness shone through as Jaune failed to see Suzaku's cynical expression.

Suzaku sighed, "I'll let you figure it out." He then proceeded to walk away as he looked at Weiss. "I don't know how someone could fall for such a prissy person", Suzaku thought as Euphy walked towards him.

"You looked disturbed", she said. She grabbed his left hand as they left the ballroom, and went towards their own dorm.

"I'm more shocked than anything", Suzaku said as he looked towards Euphy's bluish-violet eyes.

They stared into each other's eyes - lost in the moment. Slowly they moved closer until their lips touched - embracing each other in a soft kiss. As they parted, they looked at each other in happy confusion.

"Let's continue this somewhere more private", Suzaku spoke softly as they began to quicken their pace towards their room.

The next morning the two woke up to the sight of a beautiful sunrise as they both prepared for the day ahead. Suzaku loaded his revolver and placed ammunition into his pouch of bullets. He sheathed his sword, and took his Lancelot key and put it into his pocket. Suzaku looked back to Euphy as she grabbed his hand and gave him a kiss.

"Was that for good luck?" Suzaku asked with a smile.

She gave a smile of her own. "You're a knight. You don't need luck", she said as she let go of his hand and shooed him out of the room.

He walked down the hall and towards the cafeteria for breakfast. He saw the two sisters and walked over to their table.

"Are you ready?" Suzaku asked.

The two sisters gave each other knowing looks as they spoke in unison. "We were born ready."

Suzaku laughed at that, as they started to chat. They all talked until they were ready to leave for Beacon cliff - neither sister seemed to notice the fire in his eyes.
