Chapter 3: A Beacon of Rivals
As the the airship docks a young man wearing a white diamond-shaped chestplate cut off above his lower abdomen and white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Underneath the armor, he wears a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves, blue jeans and sneakers with a sword strapped to his waist runs out and goes over to the nearest trash can, hunching over it as he loses his lunch. As the students head off the ship Naruto, Ruby and Yang walk down the path and stop to take in the sights.
"Wow..." Ruby and Yang said as they take in the entirety of Beacon Academy.
"This is incredible!" Naruto said looking around at the school.
"The view from Vale's got nothing on this!" Yang said agreeing with her brother.
"Ohmygosh,guys! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" Ruby said getting so excited she becomes a 2-D, starry-eyed, floating chibi. she tries getting closer, but Yang pulls her sister by the hood back into realistic proportions. "Ow! Ooww!"
'Oh no here comes the weapon maniac Ruby' Naruto thought backing up slightly, but then Yang hammers the nail on the coffin by saying. "Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons!"
"'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!" Ruby said looking at Yang narrowing her eyes.
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang said rolling her eyes at Ruby's behavior.
"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..." Ruby said transforming her weapon into its scythe form.
"Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?" Yang said playfully pushing her sister's hood down over her face.
Naruto sighs and starts to walk away from the antics of his sisters when he looked up and saw who two people in the distance causing his eyes to widen and run to the pair.
Standing there talking to each other was a man and a woman about 17 years old. The man had Raven color hair that looked like a duck butt with onyx colored eyes, wearing a black short sleeve jacket with a dark gray v-neck shirt. He was also wearing grey jeans with combat boots and a katana was strapped to his waist. The woman had shoulder-length pink hair and green eyes wearing a red shirt black shorts with a grey apron, grey elbow protectors black gloves with arm bands around her wrists
"Sasuke, Sakura!" Naruto called out the two gaining their attention.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled running up and hugging Naruto with a bear hug.
"G-Gah, Sakura to tight!" Naruto wheezed as Sakura squeezed him. Realizing this she let go of him rubbing the back of her head.
"Sorry Naruto, I didn't mean to…" Sakura said with concern.
"He'll be fine Sakura." Sasuke said with a smirk. "If Naruto couldn't take it he would of been dead a long time ago, eh Naruto?"
"Hmph, right!" Naruto said catching his breath. "It's fine Sakura, I'll live."
Sakura stared at Naruto for a second with medic eye's then just sighed.
"Alright then, so is my 'rival' here?" Sakura said with a dangerous gleam in here eye.
"Who Yang? Yeah don't know she is right now!" Naruto said know exactly who one of his best friends was talking about. "But that not all who's here Ru-"
BOOM
A giant explosion cut off Naruto as the three turned their heads to look where the explosion came from.
"What the hell was that?" Sakura said looking to where the explosion went off.
'That explosion came from where Ruby and Yang were.' Naruto thought with concern for his sisters as Sasuke looked to the two.
"I don't know, but let find out!" Sasuke said as he started heading off in that direction.
"Right!" Both Naruto and Sakura said following Sasuke.
When the trio arrived to where the explosion occurred and were surprised by what or rather who they saw was Ruby getting yelled at by some girl. Standing above Ruby was a 17 year old girl with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara wearing a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem and a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" The girl said angrily covered in soot, though it quickly disappears.
"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby said apologetically and embarrassed.
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here?" Weiss said with a scoff. "Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"
"Well, I-I..." Ruby started to say sadly not wanting say that she got move ahead two years.
"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice, you know!" The girl said in a know-it-all way. "We're here to fight monsters, so... watch where you're going!"
At this point Naruto was fuming of how this girl was treating his little sister and was about to head over there to tell her off, but was stopped by Sakura.
"Sakura, let go!" Growled Naruto trying to break his arm free. "I need to show that spoiled brat not to mess with Ruby!"
Sakura held onto Naruto's arm firmly, trying to keep him from storming over to the confrontation. "Naruto, calm down. Getting into a fight won't solve anything. Let's hear what's going on first," she advised, her green eyes focused on the unfolding situation.
Naruto huffed in frustration but reluctantly nodded. "Fine, but she better watch her mouth when talking to my sister."
The trio continued to observe the scene as Weiss continued berating Ruby. Sasuke crossed his arms, maintaining a stoic expression, while Sakura kept a cautious eye on Naruto, ready to restrain him if needed.
"Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!" Ruby said finally fed up of how the girl was treating her.
"It's heiress, actually." Voice called out getting everyone's attention.
Walking over to the girl and Ruby with a dust bottle in hand was a 17 year old girl with amber eyes and long, black hair wearing a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this was a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper and black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. On top of that she has a bow on the top of her head and a scarf around her neck.
Naruto looked at her with awe as his heart skipped a beat, captivated by her presence. Meanwhile, Sasuke raised an eyebrow, slightly intrigued by the new arrival.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." The girl said with a tinge of malice laced in her voice.
"Finally! Some recognition!" Weiss said smiling smugly.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." The girl continued narrowing her eyes toward Weiss.
"Wha- How dare- The nerve of... Ugh!" Weiss angrily sputtered taking the bottle away from the girl and leaving in a huff.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby said apologetically then sighs. "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day... So, what's..."
Turning to see that the girl was walking away, Ruby then collapses to the ground.
"Welcome to Beacon." She said sadly.
Naruto sighed and watched the boy that was vomiting help Ruby up. As the tension settled, Naruto couldn't shake off his protective instincts towards his sister. He exchanged glances with Sasuke and Sakura, silently communicating his concern. Sakura loosened her grip on Naruto's arm, recognizing what he wanted to do, but shook her head. Naruto nodded knowing what Sakura was trying to say, then looked to the girl that helped Ruby as she walks away.
Sasuke, always composed, broke the silence. "That girl seems to have a history with that Weiss girl. The tension is palpable."
Naruto nodded, his gaze still following the departing figure. "Yeah, and she didn't seem too fond of her or her family's company either."
"Guys I'll catch up with you later." Naruto said as he started walking in the direction the mysterious girl had gone. Sasuke and Sakura exchanged a quick glance before deciding to head to the Ball Room. They trusted their friend's instincts and knew what he was doing.
As he caught up with the girl, Naruto spoke up, "Hey, wait up!"
The girl turned around, her expression guarded. "What do you want?"
Naruto, trying to sound friendly, replied, "I just wanted to thank you, for helping Ruby back there."
"I'm not sure how I helped her, but your welcome I guess." The girl said then turns back to Naruto. "What does she mean to you, that is making you want to thank me?"
This catches Naruto off guard for a moment, he then smiles softly.
"She is my little sister if hadn't shown up when you did I would of handled it myself." Naruto answered causing the girl to smile a bit.
The girl's guarded expression softened slightly as she listened to Naruto's words. "I can respect that," she said, a hint of understanding in her eyes. "Family's important."
"Yeah, do you have any siblings?" Naruto asked as the girl's eyes narrowed a bit.
"You are being quite forward with someone. Who you didn't even ask what their name was?" The girl responded causing Naruto to gain a paled expression.
'Shit, she is right.' Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Oops, my bad. I got carried away there. I'm Naruto, by the way."
The girl raised an eyebrow, still sizing him up. "Blake. Blake Belladonna."
"So Blake, are you gonna answer my question?" Naruto asked trying to get to know Blake.
Blake's gaze remained steady, contemplating Naruto's question. After a moment, she sighed, as if deciding to share a bit of herself. "I had a brother once. But that's in the past."
Naruto sensed a hint of sadness in her words, but he didn't pry further. Instead, he offered a sympathetic smile. "I get it, losing family is rough huh."
"Yes, rough..." Blake said gaining a soft look on her face.
"Uh, so are you from Vale?" Naruto asked suddenly.
"No, I'm not from here was born in a fishing village near Menagerie." Blake said nervously but Naruto didn't catch it.
"Oh cool, I'm from Patch so I can see why you wanted to leave island life sucks doesn't it?" Naruto said placing his hands behind his head.
"Uh yeah…" Blake said getting even more nervous, but quickly decided to change the subject. "Shouldn't we get to the assembly hall before it to late?"
This made Naruto blink for then realized that Blake was right. They were the only ones in the courtyard.
"Your right, gah I'm sorry!" Naruto said bowing vigorously apologizing. Blake just giggled at how Naruto is acting.
"It's fine come on." Blake said starting to walk toward the assembly hall.
"R-right!" Naruto said with a red face walking behind Blake.
As the two walked in the auditorium they both could see a lot of students in the room. Looking around Naruto saw Yang and Ruby conversing with each other.
"There they are!" Naruto said.
"Who?" Blake asked curiously.
"My sisters." Naruto answered with a smile. "Is it ok if I go talk to them?"
"Why are you asking permission?" Blake answered Naruto's question with a question.
"Good point." Naruto said heading to where his sisters were. "Can we talk more later?"
"Sure that sound good!" Blake said said with a smile which Naruto returned.
"Alright then see ya later Blake." Naruto said running away from the girl.
'What a goofball!' Blake thought to herself as she went to the shadows.
As Naruto came up to his two sisters he noticed that Weiss was now with them and currently yelling at Ruby…. again.
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" Weiss yelled angrily at Ruby who currently in Yang's arms.
"Oh my God, you really exploded." Yang said to Ruby with a deadpan look on her face.
"Hey Ice Queen it was an accident so lay off my little sister will ya!" Naruto called coming up to the group gaining their attention.
"Naruto!" Both Ruby and Yang said looking toward Naruto, but causes Weiss's eyes to widen and darts over to him inspecting Naruto from head to toe. She then quickly pulled out a page from a magazine and moved from it to Naruto three time and gains a massive blush.
"Oh my god y-your Naruto Xiao-Long aren't you?" Weiss said blushing super hard, confusing both Yang and Ruby.
"Uh yeah, why and how to do you know my name?" Naruto said a little bit freaked out.
"CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!" Weiss yelled holding a pen and paper out to Naruto, who paled even further.
'Oh no, god damnit, not another one!' Naruto screamed in his head.
"Uh, why do you want Naruto's autograph he not even famous?!" Yang said very confused.
"Do you not know who this is?" Weiss asked pointing at Naruto.
"Uh yeah, our brother Naruto." Ruby answered who was just as confused as Yang was.
"This is Naruto Xiao-Long the 'Yellow Flash' the only person who ever came close to defeating Pyrrha Nikos the 'Invincible Girl'." Weiss said narrowing her eyes at the two. "He is also in the top 10 guys that girls want as a boyfriend in Remnant Magazine!"
"Oh yeah Naruto I almost forgot that you competed in the Mistral Tournament two years ago!" Sakura said coming up to them with Sasuke hearing everything. "Though I'm not surprised that your on that list along with Sasuke!"
"Sakura!" Ruby yelled crashing into Sakura giving her a hug.
"Hey Rubes, staying out of trouble." Sakura said hugging Ruby back then turns to Yang. "Hippo!"
"Billboard Brow!" Yang said narrowing her eyes.
The sound of mic was heard gain everyone's attention was drawn to the stage, where Professor Ozpin was readying the microphone, with Glynda beside him.
"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction." Ozpin began looking around the room as the students whisper among themselves. "You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." Glynda says walking up to mic while Ozpin leaves.
'Was that meant to be inspiring cause I don't feel inspired.' Naruto said narrowing his eyes at the departing form of Ozpin.
"He seemed kind of... off." Yang said breaking the awkward silence that came following Ozpin's speech.
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby said in agreement then looks at Naruto. "When were gonna tell us you been in a tournament?"
"Hopefully never cause it was Uncle Qrow's idea not mine!" Naruto said crossing his arms. "I mean yeah it was fun going up against Pyrrha, but it came with some unlivable eventualities!"
"What fangirls like Ice Queen here!" Yang said pointing a thumb at Weiss.
"Hey!" Weiss said getting annoyed. "I'll have you know that I am president of his Atlas fanclub, thank you very much!"
"Really!" Yang said.
"Really!" Naruto said paling again as everyone began to retire for the night.
After Weiss's outburst revealing that he was the 'Yellow Flash' Naruto kept getting looks from the girls even more than usual, it also didn't help that Naruto wasn't really wearing a shirt just black shorts. He was currently laying on his sleeping bag with Ruby, who was also in her pajamas and with a sleeping mask around her head, writing in her journal when Yang crashes next to her and Naruto, similarly dressed.
"It's like a big slumber party!" Yang said excitedly as looks around at the different the ballroom.
"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though." Ruby said not looking up from her journal.
"I know I don't!" Naruto said in strict voiced as he released killing intent to any guy that tried to approach both Ruby and Yang.
"Oh what bout all the girls, Mr. Shirtless." Yang said with a mischievous smile on her face. "Is big brother Naruto, trying to impress anyone here?"
Naruto chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Nah, it's just more comfortable this way. Plus, it's hot in here."
Yang raised an eyebrow. "Hot, huh?" She glanced around, catching the eyes of several girls who quickly averted their gaze.
Ruby, still focused on her journal, sighed. "Don't mind him, he's just being Naruto."
Ignoring the attention, Naruto leaned closer to Yang, lowering his voice. "And for the record, I'm not trying to impress anyone. Just keeping an eye out for you and Ruby."
Yang smirked. "Well, aren't you the protective big brother?"
"Whatever you say." Naruto said as he looked to Ruby. "What are you working on there, Ruby?"
"I'm writing a letter to the gang back at Signal." Ruby answered still not looking up. "I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going."
"Aw, that's so cuuuute!" Yang says getting knocked back as a pillow is launched at her face.
"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school!" Ruby said sadly. "It's weird not knowing anyone here!"
"What about Jaune? He's... nice!" Yang asked trying to be nice while describing Vomit Boy. "There you go! Plus one friend! That's a hundred percent increase!"
"Plus Sasuke and Sakura. I should say that is a three hundred percent increase!" Naruto said trying to cheer up Ruby.
"But they are your friends Naruto!" Ruby said looking at the twins. "And I'm pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero…"
"There's no such things as negative friends! You just made one friend and one enemy!" Yang said getting hit again in the face with a pillow this time by Naruto.
"What our sister is trying to say, in her not so subtle way is that there are friends and enemies all around you just haven't met them yet!" Naruto responded as Ruby looked up at her brother.
Ruby glanced at Naruto, her silver eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and curiosity. "You really think so, Naruto?"
Naruto gave her a reassuring smile. "Absolutely! In this new adventure, you'll meet people from all walks of life. Some may seem like enemies at first, but who knows? They might turn out to be great friends. And Weiss..." he paused, casting a glance towards the heiress who was still at a distance, who blushed at Naruto looking at her and quickly walked away. "Well, maybe she just needs a bit more time."
Then the three notice a candle being lighted nearby, and saw Blake leaning against a wall, reading a book.
"That girl…" Ruby said looking at Blake.
"You know her?" Yang asked turning to Ruby.
"Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything." Ruby said remembering the event in the morning.
"Well, now's your chance!" Yang says grabbing Ruby's arm and lifts her up.
'Not again!' Naruto thought as he got up to follow and hopefully stopped Yang from doing something stupid, but part of him wanted to talk to Blake again.
"Wait! What are you doing?!" Ruby said trying to break free of Yang's grip.
Blake looked over her book and see Ruby unsuccessfully struggling against Yang's grip as she leads her sister over to Blake's spot before letting go.
"Hel-looooo!" Yang sang. "I believe you two may know each other?"
"Aren't you... that girl that Naruto was talking about?" Blake asked causing both Yang and Ruby turning to face Naruto.
"Oh big bro, when were you gonna say that you were talking to a girl?" Yang asked putting Naruto in a headlock. "Trying keep your girlfriend away from me and Ruby. You should know better!"
"It's not like that you idiot!" Naruto said breaking free from Yang. "I just went over and said thank you to Blake for helping Ruby out that's all."
"Yeah like I believe that, if you saw Ice Queen yelling at Ruby why didn't you help her?!" Yang asked narrowing her eyes.
"Cause I was holding him back Yang calm down!" Sakura said walking up to Yang. "I thought it was best to let Ruby handle the incident with that Weiss girl on her own."
"Well you shouldn't of gotten involved, billboard brow!" Yang yelled at Sakura.
"I consider Ruby like a little sister so I will get involved if I want to, weapon stealer!" Sakura yelled back getting angry.
"Flat-chest!" Yang yelled getting in Sakura's face.
"Fatty!" Sakura yelled getting in Yang's face as lightning danced between their eyes causing Naruto to sigh in annoyance.
"OK! That's enough you two!" Naruto said getting in between the two.
"SHUT UP NARUTO!" Yang and Sakura both yelled punching Naruto in the face making him fall back landing his head on Blake's lap.
"Naruto!" Ruby said with concern as she kneeled down to her brother. "Are you okay?"
Ruby didn't get a response as she saw he was currently unconscious.
"I'm sorry, here I'll get him off of you!" Ruby offered to Blake. Starting to pull Naruto off her lap, but then was stopped by Blake.
"It's fine. It's probably better that he is right here. He might have a concussion so it's better not move him!" Blake said to Ruby not really bothered with Naruto being unconscious on her lap.
"What in the world is going on over here?! Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?" Weiss yells walking over to the group, then see Naruto unconscious. "Hey unhand him, what did you do to him!"
"I did nothing to him!" Blake said narrowing her eyes. "He was trying to stop these two from fighting when they just punched him in the face!"
Yang and Sakura looked at each other then back at the unconscious form of Naruto, before Ruby got in their faces.
"Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!" Ruby said in a hush voice. "But you two should be ashamed of yourselves Naruto was only trying to help so lets all just go to bed ok."
Sakura nodded and walked away without another word followed by Yang. Ruby was about to leave as well, but then turned to Blake.
"Can you watch him for the night please?" Ruby asked Blake who nods to her prompting Ruby walks away. Blake then proceeds to blow out the candle she was using, then got into a comfortable position holding Naruto close to her as she drifts off to sleep unknowingly what the future had in store for the two.
AND done! You know what is weird. When I originally wrote this I didn't plan on somethings that will be coming out later, but hey might as well set them up now. Like I mention fixed up some parts removed Naruto cursing Qrow to dear god not another Fan Girl as well as juiced up the diaglog between the Siblings. Also kinda did some sentence edits to make them more fluid, I guess would be the word I don't know but hey 3 chapters in 2 days well technically since all I have really done is taken the chapters and with a sledge hammer and edited and added stuff that is more in line with what I want to do with this story... But with that said see you in the next chapter when it comes out...
