"Last day before the semester starts up again... and you make us late because you didn't want to leave without putting makeup on." Cheyenne sighed softly, glancing over at Kris. "You know, none of us wear makeup. It's only you."
"What are you talking about?" The red head looked up. "Kagami does too." She pointed at their team leader.
The girl with jade hair just paused, glancing back. At the moment she was wearing her hoodie over her school uniform, her hands inside her hoodie pocket. "I do?" She seemed incredibly confused at the comment.
"Yeah," The short girl shook her head a bit before waving a hand at her. "I mean, you can't naturally be that pale."
She froze, her eyes becoming slightly narrowed. She then took a deep breath, keeping in her screams before she turned back around. "Okay, just okay. Now let's hurry. I think Elise is dying from starvation." She looked over at said farm girl.
Elise simply groaned, leaning forward with her arms swaying back and forth. "I think my stomach ate my stomach... guuuuuys... I'm dyyyyying..."
Kagami softly chuckled, shaking her head as she walked up to the doors to the cafeteria. "I'm sure there is a bunch of food left. You can eat all you want." She pushed the door open, walking inside. She then stopped, blinking several times at the nearly empty room.
"What?" Kris popped her head in. "Why did you stop?"
Before she could respond, Elise bolted in and rapidly looked around with wide, vicious eyes. "Foooood! Wheeeeere?!"" Her head then snapped to a group of eight students and two faculty of Beacon. "Oh." She blinked before smiling with a wave. "Hi there."
"Well this isn't strange." Kris mumbled before grabbing Cheyenne's wrist. "Come on."
"W-Wait!" With wide eyes, the deer Faunus did her best to not be pulled inside. She ultimately failed at that though. She felt her whole entire body stiffen as her face shot red when she caught the sigh of her hero from years ago.
"Guess we're going in anway." Kagami muttered, slowly following behind her team.
"S'up Oz!" Elise called out, casually walking over to the headmaster. She blinked a few times, her hands behind her back as she stood on her tip toes and looked over at the eight students who were covered in food. She then quickly looked back at Ozpin. "Was there a food fight and no one invited me?!"
"Miss Spruce," Glynda shot her a glare to which the small girl stepped away at. "We are in the middle of something."
"Actually," Professor Ozpin rubbed his chin a bit, glancing at Kagami's team and team RWBY. "I think we are done here." He turned to face team JNPR. "You four," He then whispered so Glynda couldn't hear. "Don't let them win so easily next time."
"On iiittt!" Nora shot to her feet, grabbing Ren by the back of his collar. "Defeat will be swift next time! Now let's go practice!"
Ren gave a soft sigh as he was dragged away. "You mean I make pancakes for you to practice with since you didn't eat any."
"Yeeeeep!" The short pink haired girl let out, dancing out of the room.
"Well, I'm hungry too." Pyrrha stood up, dusting herself off. "Perhaps we could get some syrup before Nora drinks it all again." She gave a happy smile, one that no one could ever forget.
"I could use a shower myself." Jaune mumbled, brushing himself off as he walked out with her, completely oblivious to the smile she was giving him.
"Hey," Yang suddenly mumbled, waving her hand in front of Blake who was staring without blinking. "You okay? What are you looking at?" She looked in the direction she was looking, spotting a deer Faunus in a Beacon uniform. "Oh." She blinked a few times.
"That's..." Blake stood up slowly, taking almost fearful steps towards her. "...Cheyenne?" Her voice came off smaller than usual.
Cheyenne quickly looked around, gulping softly before reaching up and scratching her antlers. "Y-Yea um..." She gulped slightly.
"Wait," Kris put a hand on her hip, pointing over at the other group of four girls. "You know them?"
"Who do you think you're pointing at?" Weiss shot to her feet, eyes narrowing,
"Hopefully someone with less food in their hair than you." The red head narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms.
A small vein bulged in the heiress' head as she crossed her own arms and stomped forward. "Would you like to say that to my face?"
"Yes I would!" Kris stopped inches from Weiss, standing up on her tip toes to try to be eye level.
Weiss rolled her eyes, sighing softly before narrowing her eyes down at her. "Just as immature as that dunce."
As the two of them started to bicker back and forth, Cheynne took a deep breath, looking over at Blake who approached her. "S-So I see you've... you're..." She tried to speak, trailing off before going silent as she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Blake simply gave her usual smile, letting out a small breath of air. "It's good to see you've left them as well."
"I-I..." She still stumbled with her words. Finally, she tensed then gulped before getting a few words out. "It's quite a coincidence we've both ended up at the same school after running away from them."
"I agree." She nodded back. "Coincidence are more than just rare happenings though. They're destiny."
She nodded back, smiling a little more before glancing down at her feet. "It's... really nice to see you again."
"Listen, Cheyenne..." This time, Blake trailed off a bit. "I'm sorry for leaving without saying good bye."
Cheyenne blinked a few times before looking up at her savior and friend. She gave a soft chuckle, rubbing the back of her head with a smile. "I'm just happy I got to say hello again. Even... if I saw you like six other times and purposely ignored you..." She spoke in a hushed tone and as quick as she could at the end.
"Huh?" Blake blinked a few times, raising an eyebrow.
"You know," Elise sat on a table next to Yang, both their elbows on their thighs as their hands held up their heads. "Kris is a lot like the white girl. And Cheyenne is a lot like thay black girl."
"And Weiss is a lot like that red girl. And Blake is a lot like that brown girl." Yang mumbled back, blinking between the two pairs. "It's actually kinda strange and disturbing."
"No duh." She leaned back before looking over at the blonde. She then held out her hand. "I'm Elise."
"Yang." She grinned back, reaching out and grabbing her hand with a tight grip. She then pointed in another direction. "And that over there is my sister Ru...by?" She raised an eyebrow, watching as Ruby stood still, eyes locked with Kagami.
"Wonder what's up with Kagami." Elise leaned forward, blinking a few times as she kicked her legs back and forth.
"You have... eyes..." Ruby muttered as shs started to blink, slowly leaning in closer.
Kagami nodded softly back, her eyes narrowing some. "So do you... silver ones..."
"And... light green ones..." She muttered back.
Neither of them understood the feeling inside of either of them. They were both warriors, the challenge of battle running deep in their veins. And with someone of equal strength in front of them, the instincts to see who was stronger burned deep inside both of them. Not like either would fight without a good incentive that is. So instead the two just stood in silence, staring at each other's eyes or making a movement the other mimicked.
"Weirdo." Elise mumbled before looking back over at Yang.
The blonde simply shook her head, looking over at the brunet. "Sorry, my sister is um... unique. Yes, that's a nice was to put it." She smiled, holding up a thumb.
"No problem." Elise waved her off. "I've delt with Kris for a semester now and you know..." She glanced at the red head arguing with ghe girl in white. "Kris is a hundred percent insane."
"I can fully understand that." Yang leaned over to the side, sighing as she stared at Weiss. "I have someone on my team who is absolutely insane and is a complete control freak."
"Dido." She mumbled the sighed again. "Let's see, weird leader, crazy insane girl, you don't have a quiet Faunus by chance?" She looked over at her.
"Yeeep." She nodded back. "Described my team exactly."
"Funny." She chuckled a bit then pointed at Yang. "You don't happen to be the totally cool a chill person, do ya?"
"Please," She leaned back with a smile, winking at Elise before sliding on her aviators. "I am the definition cool. Well... Ice Queen is more cool than me, but that's only because she's ice."
"Hey!" Weiss quickly snapped her head over.
"Oh," Elise nudged Yang a bit. "You got a name for your insane person. I call mine Short Stack."
"Hey!" This time, Kris shot her head over and glared.
As Weiss and Yang started to bicker back and forth, so did Kris and Elise.
"You have... some very strange teammates." Cheyenne mumbled, looking between the blonde and the heiress. "Very interesting."
"So do you." Blake responded, blinking rapidly.
"Professor Ozpin," Glynda rubbed her face softly, standing next to the headmaster who sipped his cup of hot chocolate. "This is plain ridiculous."
"Perhaps," He leaned back, staring at Kagami and Ruby who didn't move a muscle. "But it just goes to show how similar people are in Remnant even though they may be worlds apart and on complete opposite sides of the spectrum."
She just sighed, shaking her head a bit. "Sometimes, I really do wonder what goes on inside your head, sir."
"Then maybe it is for the better that no one ever knows." His eyes narrowed slowly at the two teams as he took another sip.
Later that night, in one of Vale's most guarded prisons, a small and very young blonde girl sat on a bench inside of a cell. More than that though, her hands were covered in metal restraints to keep them from touching anything else. She had a name, one many use to fear before she was thrown inside the concrete box she was in.
"Sin," A guard came up to the cell door, kicking it as he called out her name. "Wake up! You have a visitor!"
The small girl's head slowly lifted, her eyelids opening to reveal apple red eyes. She simply gave a soft snarl, flashing her teeth before she moved her head back down.
The guard rolled his eyes, unlocking the cell with a key. "You shouldn't have to worry about her." He looked up at the visitor. "Like this, she can't harm anyone. I am surprised that Lisa Lavender wants a report on such a dangerous girl."
"Oh, you know how she is." Wearing a reporters outfit with a messenger bag at her side, Valentine gave a soft smile and tilted her head. Her hair was in a pony tail at the moment which made her look completely different. "Lavender is always looking for the real details. She isn't like normal reporters who want the stuff people will adore her for. She wants to speak the truth out to the world."
"And that's why everyone in Vale loves her." He slid the door open, motioning for her to go inside. "Just scream if you need anything. We will come running in an instant."
"Oh I'm sure you will." She nodded to him, walking inside. She couldn't help but smile as she heard the door shut. Without even the slightest bit of hesitation, she walked up to the small blonde girl. "The infamous Eri Sin. We finally meet." She chuckled softly. "I have heard quiet a lot about you. And so has my employer." She stood straight in front of her. "Look up at me when I am speaking to you."
Eri growled deeply, lifting her head up to glare with her teeth showing. Her entire body tensed as her hands tried to break free.
"Don't speak much, do you?" She raised an eyebrow before shaking her head. "Doesn't matter." She placed a hand on the metal keeping Eri's hands locked away. She gently pushed it down. "There is no need for struggle though." She gained a wicked smile. "You have been able to impress someone high up." She pulled her hand away, reaching into the bag at her side. She didn't pull it out all the way but she did reveal enough to let Eri catch a glimpse of something she hadn't used in forever.
"Well?" Valentine slid the metal piece back into the bag. "How would you like to get out of here?" She pulled a key from her pocket and spun it around a bit.
The small blonde blinked her red eyes several times before she leaned back with a devilish grin. "I'd say you've caught my attention."
"So she does speak." She chuckled softly back at her. "I hope you're ready to kill a few guards."
"Never." Eri leaned forward, holding up her arms to be set free. "But the guards are ready to kill themselves."
"Good." Valentine reached forward, placing the key in the lock. There was a loud click that filled the room before there was an extremely loud metal thud. There was a cry from one of the guards to the others in the area before he unlocked the cage, yelling at Valentine as he did so. It was far too late though.
Standing up with her blonde hair around her face, Eri licked her lips softly as her apple colored eyes turned to that of blood. She stretched her fingers out, her nails chipped and red polish scratched off. Around her wrist she had silver gauntlets, three blades coming out of them like glaws. "You're going to scream for taking my dessert every day." She muttered, her hands balling up in tight fist.
"Hell..." The guard mumbled, turning for the door. He then froze, watching as Valentine slowly shut it with a chuckle.
"No hard feelings," She waved at him. "But this is for the best. At least you are to die first and don't have to see your comrades die." With that, she slammed the door shut, awaiting the bloody and terrified screams that would soon follow.
