Chapter Seven School life with two demons
The morning sun began to rise over the horizon of the world as it shined into the room of team RWBY.
The first that was to awaken was Weiss, rising from her bed she looked over at Blake and Yang who where still fast asleep.
But she heard giggling coming from below her and figured it was Ruby and her friend (girlfriend) Evelyn.
So raising up she went down and turned to see the two of them, the taller girl spooning the smaller.
Weiss just looked at this sight.
They rested so peacefully, the sun's light shines over the to and it showed what the darkness concealed.
Ruby's right hand, along with Evelyn's where wrapped around each other, holding the other as tightly as possible, the way ruby snuggled against Evelyn, trying to be as closely as possible Well also having the taller ones other arm around her body. It was a sign of protectiveness, a very possessive hold that spoke to all to see that this girl was hers.
And the way Ruby held her back, it only reinforced this statement.
But there was something sweet about this, the look on Ruby's face, the look on that adorable face of hers that was more innocent then even the brightest angel, it just melted the ice queens heart. She was so peaceful, so adorable, it was truly a heavenly sight to behold.
Then an unsettling feeling set in, looking at the two, she wondered if she could find anything like what they have....
I mean could she?
She was a part of a family which was known for.... Questionable and "shady business", along with them not having a super good reputation with many groups....
Honestly she knew that many would just want to be with her to get into her family's bank account, that's it, and it doesn't help that her tyrannical father was always going to judge any and all decisions she would make.
It was a sickening feeling that Weiss wasn't quite sure she was ready to face, so she just pushed it off to the back of her mind and... Maybe she could ask Ruby sense she seemed to be well.... Special like her.... So perhaps she could as the girl how she does it.
How she can show such compassion to who was once a complete stranger and make her open up about herself.
Maybe she could help with this dark feeling in her soul... Make her life and heart better for her to understand.
But first, Shower, she could worry about this when Ruby was u-
"Weiss what you doing?"
She looked and there Ruby was with her head slightly above Evelyn's shoulder She looked at the girl.
"Oh nothing Ruby, I'm just going to go get a shower."
"Oh, ok."
Laying back down Ruby returned to the general embrace of the agony demon who's massive breast made for very good pillows.
Weiss seeing this chuckled, ruby was something else alright.
But there was still something off about her.
That thing she did, with the darkness and before that cocoon formed she went demonic....
Those massive extra appendages... They kept her suspense within the air like the web of the spider, and when she attacked Weiss saw the first kill before the ball of shadows fully took over, it was such a dark primal way to kill, almost like a primitive animal pouncing it's prey and proceeding to have its way with its life.
And that name she said before all this happened she could still recall it.
"Fiddlesticks."
Weiss now out of her cloths and with her nude body hidden behind the privacy of the the showers door and curtain let the stress ooze away, the warm water removed any and all gunk from her body as she continued to think.
'Who was that thing? She called it a him, so... Does she have some kind of alternative personality? Or maybe a different entity all together within her?'
Taking the shampoo and running it through her white snow like locks she dwelled deeper into this.
'Fiddlesticks, That's what she said before... She did all that.'
She remembered full well the limbs that sprouted like the web of a spider from her back, the way she ran, all of it, the change in her voice and those horrible screaming sounds as the Grimms where slaughtered like cattle.
There was no mistaking it anymore Ruby Rose was not human but what the hell was she then?
She knew of Legends how could she not, All people of this world know the legends of the ancient world or at least different versions of them but yet there is something strange about that name, fiddlesticks.
What was it It was like it was right there on the cusp of her grasp, She could almost taste it, And yet every time she seemed to reach for it it only grew for their away. Why was this?
'fiddlesticks, fiddlesticks, fiddlesticks..... Why can't I remember where that name comes from! It sounds familiar like my sister once told me about a dem-.... Wait hold on'
Her hands became loser as she dropped the shampoo bottle, her eyes where shaking as she felt her mind awaken with fear.
She remembered where that name came from, from one of the darkest times in human history.
Just a legend they all say.
Just a myth they use to scare children.
A folklore tale which spread all throughout remnant.
Fiddlesticks, a darkness What stretches into the black plains of Oblivion, every shadow stating to be it's all watching eye, or at least that's what humans have said about it.
In ancient creature more ancient than remnant self, a dark beast of no sentient thoughts but only primal instincts.
If this was the case then how the hell has Ruby become connected to it? Let alone able to retain her humanity.
Weiss was vexed by this, everything from the way she acted, to the debut of her horrific power All of its screamed supernatural, a force of cosmic power, and now she had to deal with this.
The only closure she can get from these thoughts of hers, was that it was Ruby in control, not the demon, But still what would happen if she lost control?
Would that thick black and red iker return? That abyss like blood which oozes from the very depths of darkness itself. Would that all consuming hunger devour the country of remnant and everyone and everything within.
Truth be told Weiss had no say in the matter because she had no idea on how to even speak of such a topic, The more she thought the more questions popped up which only led to more.
She had to stop now, otherwise she would go insane with these questions. So simply picking up the shampoo bottle and placing it back She got out the conditioner and did her hair with it.
When she was done with the conditioner she left and put on her school uniform that way she would be ready for classes with her other teammates.
Opening up the bathroom door She could already see the older sister of Ruby and Blake up and dressed and Ruby was well.... Still snoozing away next to Evelyn who was already up.
Yang was having a massive grin on her face, Weiss and Blake looked at each other but strangely Blake had a slight blush across her face.
'hmmm has something happen?'
Weiss didn't want to think too much into it but seeing the demon's eyes turn to look at her then down to Ruby she gave a sigh before shaking the girl awaken.
"Noooooooo.... Go back to sleeeeeeeeeep." Ruby whined cutely, her tone consumed by a deep sense of sleepiness that showed she didn't want to get up.
Evelyn tried to (and to her own dismay) pull the girl off her, but Ruby just tightened her hold and pulled herself back into place.
"Well now, looks like sis isn't ready to get up, not that I blame her considering that where she's at She probably has the best spot in the entire room."
"Ahah, Well I do take pride in my body's appearance. And I take even more pride knowing that I have such an effect on this little girl of mine."
"Girl of mine..." Blake looked over at Evelyn. "Wait did you too-"
"Well I wasn't going to spoil this surprise but seems like You've already caught on pretty quickly, yes ruby and I are now an item, a couple, a pair of lovebirds, Or however the hell else you people want to put it."
"OHHHHH YEEEEEESSS! FINALLY MY BABY SISTERS GROWN UP! IM SO PROUD OF HER!" Yang being the sister and the wingwoman She is basically saw this day as one of the most spectacular moments in human History, why Because she's simply love the fact that her baby sister finally found the girl she loved in the whole world.
However her sudden fluctuation in voice hight caused Ruby to open her eyes and look at Yang a bit annoyed, with puffed up cheeks she turned her head from her sister huffing the whole time.
"Hmph."
"Oh sis don't give me that, can't a big sister be proud?"
"Hmph."
Yang just hung her head. "God dammit."
"Cheer up dolt it'll be fine, and Ruby, Evelyn, get up we have classes at nine and it's currently 7;39. You're going to need this time in order to get a shower get dressed and eat something."
"Hmmmmmmm no."
"Get up ruby we can't do this." Weiss was just sweat dropped at this, her experience being that of a deadpan one, jeez this girl's resilience to just not move, even when under very clear instructions.
Then again Weiss had to Emmett it was probably pretty nice, But unfortunately life still goes by even if you don't want it to and she needs to get up.
Ruby in rebellion, just layed her head back into Evelyn's chest. "No" the response was muffled considering where she had her head buried at.
Blake looked towards Yang and well they got there answer.
"Well crap I thought she would have grown out of this but apparently not."
"Grown out of what?" Asked the white haired girl.
"Ruby doesn't get much sleep, She can actually go months without sleep, so it's just that whenever she does get sleep. I guess you can say she's a bit more moody when she has to wake up. And she's probably having too much fun snuggling into the bosoms of Ev anyways to give a crap about school especially if they just got together. So I say we leave them be who's in favor of leaving them?"
"Yang, You know we can just leave them. It would make a bad impression for the school board if they didn't show up for there first day." Stated Blake who looked at the still pouting demon.
"Ya, So how do you get out of bed?"
Yang sighed. "Give me a second I brought something just in case."
She went over to her bag and pulled out but appeared to be a bag of cookies.
"Why do you have cookies?"
Ruby looked up when she heard that.
"Simple." She went towards Ruby. "I'm going to bribe her."
Weiss raised an eyebrow, Blake was just shaking her head and Evelyn well didn't really matter because she was just enjoying her time with Ruby.
"Hey sissss."
"No."
"Oh come on I even brought you cookies and everything."
"You won't trick me!"
"*Sighs* come on sis, I even brought you your favorite."
"........."
'gotcha.' "yep, so come on sleepy butt get up out of Ev's tatas and get ready for our first day in classes at beacon."
Ruby Seriously didn't want to get up, not only because she was a bit moody. (Although that was one of the strongest points), The second reason why she was actually searching the realm of dreams in order to try and fine this weird shadow like essence she's been sensing, a darkness which continues dark between realms within the dreams. She knew it was nocturne She was just trying to simply find him before he attacked any of their dreams.
And of course lastly She was just too damn comfortable.
But her sister did make a compelling point, actually they all did, She needed to get up but she didn't want to!
"Oh ruby~."
"Hmm what is it?" She looked up at the golden eyed demon.
"As much as I want you to continue to cling to me and ooze that oh so delicious desire of yours, I'm pretty sure if you don't get up your sister's going to drag you out of this bed, and I don't feel like having to have a tug of war match with the solar dragon over there. Mainly because I would dislocate her arm..... Again."
"....... Fiiiinnnnneeee."
Grumpy getting up She sat there with her legs sprawled out as she sat on her knees, her rubbed her eyes as she blinked, before her eyes returned to their usual near dead state.
"Alright I'm going to get dressed." No longer having that sleepy tone within her voice, She was back to normal, well the "not normal" but "normal" human voice.
Standing up Ruby walked away and we'll Evelyn wasn't far behind, they both went into the restroom to change and we'll this had the trio shaking there heads as they just awaited for the duo to return.
As they waited Yang went into her scroll and started to contact her mom and dad, getting a hello from Raven who happily replied back.
[Yang I'm glad to hear that you made it into beacon, but how's ruby and Evelyn doing? Tai's been worried sick.]
[Oh nothing bad has happened, but I think dad would be happy to know that the two of them finally got together :)]
[That is good to hear, and it's about time, I though I would have to have Qrow set up one of his stupid dates in order to finally get it going.]
[Wow mom You would have actually done that? Color me impressed, didn't take you for a match maker.]
[.... I was simply getting tired of all the unneeded sexual tension, speaking of which did they fuck already?]
[Ohh ya, Ruby's trying to play it's slick though, but unfortunately I'm the one who taught her all her tricks, And they did a pretty good job cleaning everything back up, however..... The crack in the wall is a dead giveaway. The others are completely oblivious only because I have them a excuse But yeah they totally screwed.]
[Well that's good to hear, although keep this to yourself, others may think she's to young but she's not, also how many besides Ozpin and Glynda know about the two being demons?]
[Yaaaaaa.... About that, you see nearing the end of the initiation we where swarmed by a whole lot of Grimms and we'll Ruby unleashes Fiddlesticks in order to kill all of them. While minimizing the risk factor for the group, she did as a precaution place some kind of cocoon around us but some saw Ruby's demonic Appendages and we all heard his voice, But I think they're starting to suspect something They don't know she's a demon, but there probably thinking she's possessed by one.]
[....... Of all the times she could have uunleashed him.... Well this changes nothing, You two will continue to attend beacon just know that some altercations may arise but you should be strong enough to handle it. Also if given the opportunity to persuade their minds tell them that it's just the byproduct of a Second semblance, they'll be skeptical, But word it the right way and most problems should disappear. If not, feel free to knock someone's head off.]
[Ahhhh is that even possible?]
[Most people only have one semblance, but when it comes to magic, It's hard to distinguish what's a semblance and what's magic. So just string something together, Also I have to go I'm going to be returning to my tribe to make sure things are in order. Contact you later, Love you Yang.]
[:), Love you to mom.]
No text messages came, and Yang just stood back up with a smile upon her face.
Theses small interactions she has with her mother truly was something she enjoyed, the joy she gets being able to speak to her mom was well, great. But unfortunately some people can't have that pressure.
Prime example, Ruby.
Speaking of said girl she felt the bathroom with Evelyn next to her as they stood by the door waiting for the group, but Yang was to busy with her own thoughts.
Ruby couldn't connect with her mother the same as she did, on top of this she can see Ruby here and there writing or speaking some kind of prayer, she would catcher saying things along the lines of "When we meet again I hope you can except what I have become."
That stung, badly, worst then a stab from a DeathStalker.
Ruby was only fifteen, alright, fifteen and the girl had given up so much that it just... It made Yang sick.
Her humanity, her friend life, her social life, the normal everyday human things, she had to deal with this with only her, Tai, Uncle Qrow and Aunt Raven, that's all. And not a single one of theses people could replicate that motherly love that summer, Ruby's own mother could give.
She hopped that Summer would except her as her daughter once she sees what she became, although they tell her not to worry it doesn't help, this type of worry, is something that can only come to a conclusion once Ruby gets clarity on this subject which was something that will probably never happen not for billions of years.
She will outlive everyone, and most likely the planet itself, She will live to see stars be born and die, watch the vast cosmos constantly take an ever-pending shift, always changing, always evolving.
It was the sad reality of the situation that no matter how much Ruby may try, she will always walk a path which none of them can follow, except for Evelyn.
Ya Yang made it seem like a joke, She tried playing it off like it was some kind of normal great thing, And don't get it wrong her feelings towards those two getting together is pure and genuine. but deep down she's just relieved.
Walking a lonely road is something which can make even the most stellar mines grow dull, and considering the Dark World that they lived in She did not want her sister walking down this dark path dragging her scythe behind her as it made a line of red with each step, Evelyn could very well be the key to keeping her humanity even when all of them are gone.
"Yang!"
'Perhaps there's a way for me to help.'
"Hey Yang."
'I just.... I don't want her being alone, I mean what if something happens to Evelyn? Ruby will most likely snap.'
"Yang!"
'Im fact if she snaps then how many will die that die? Fiddlesticks Is the primordial demon from what Ruby has told me he's been alive longer than there's been stars, If a creature like that is allowed to unleash its wrath upon the world he could easily swallow the world in a sea of shadows, despair, fear, he could consume ever being, soul, essence, flesh, all of it! We could possibly be looking at the complete eradication of remnant itself, and possibly Valoran, Shurima and Camavoran.... All because of one person snapped.'
Yang looked down at her own hands, balling her fist up she was about to possibly be dragged further into the unending darkness of her own subconscious when....
"YANG! IT'S TIME TO LEAVE!!" Weiss called out to her as she snapped out of it and looked at the squad.
"Oh right, hehehe sorry about that."
She rubbed the back of her head and she gave a cheesing smile but Evelyn and Ruby could tell that it was fake, and so could Blake.
{Before we move on, many may wonder Dio, is Blake x Yang going to be a thing? Well to answer your question let me ask you another question, did Ruby and Weiss end up being a thing? No. So why would Yang follow the same pattern? When there's already someone I have in mind for her, And I'll give you a hint on who she is, she's feisty, strong, very loyal, some say she even has the temper of a dragon, oh and she likes fire. That is all.}
"Yang are you alright?" Asked Blake.
"Oh ya" she dismissed the problem by waving her hands. "Nothing to worry about, it's time to get to class right."
"Ya, we have classes at 7:00Am, and it's currently 6:30am, we should get there and make sure that where not late." Spoke Ruby as she looked at her schedule. "Hey Evelyn"
"yes ruby?"
"What classes do you have?"
"Well hand me over yours."
Ruby have hers and we'll her and Evelyn's schedule where the same, Ozpin probably gave them the same that way either A: he could keep tabs on them better, or B: just make sure they where happy.
Either way they weren't complaining after all a happy demon is best demon.
"Hmm let me guess Rubes you and Ev got the same schedule?"
"Yup." The golden eyes Demoness looked upon the younger girl. "We sure do, so how about it guys, want to head off to class now?"
The other three nod there heads as they walked passed the two.
Ruby looked down at the schedule.
7:30 am - Breakfast
8 am - Class
9:45 am - Class
11:15 am - Class
12:30 pm - Lunch
1:30 pm - Class

This was going to be quite the busy day.
_______________________________________
*Within the first class*
"Monsters, demons, prowlers of the night. Yes the classification of both of these entities have many names, But I merely refer to them as pray."
Ruby and Evelyn just looked at the teacher, they're demonic eyes burning holes through his head.
This was their first class, And it just so happened that this lovely old fellow who was going to be blabbing their ear off was none other than Peter Port, And he would be the teacher for there Grimm and other nefarious supernatural creature based study class.
And we'll, Ruby's first impression of him hadn't gone too well with that little comment he made about demons, perhaps this geezer has hunted Lily demons but nothing like Evelyn nor Kindred forbid Ruby.
Sadly for this teacher, I think he overestimates how grand this class will do, hell even the most low level demons are still Way more dangerous than grimms, So this either spoke to volumes of how grand of a hunter he was. Or his past victories has left him with a severe case of delusionism.
"And you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy."
Hearing there teacher come back to haunt their ears, Ruby and her Girlfriend dialed back there glares.
"Vale along with the other three neighboring countries, and even the other Thirteen countries which exist within the other regions of this massive country, this regions of course being Valoran, Shurima and Camavoran. And just like us, even theses places are not free from the Grimms and the other dark entities touches, creatures who would love to tear you limb from limb. Our world is in a desperate need of people ready to stand and flight. Which is where we come in, huntsman and huntresses, individuals who have sworn to protect those who could not protect themselves."
'.... Funny the Shuriman ascended, and the Darkin shared a similar ideology, but they where still slaughtered by an even greater darkness.' Ruby slumped into her chair as the near infinite knowledge which came about due to the shared unity of her and Fiddlesticks memories flowed into her head, and how could she forget the two groups she mentioned.
Shuriman ascended's we're humans augmented by celestial Magic, some of the very first incarnation of these noble warriors ended up becoming Darkin, how she does not know, But from what she has from the broken fragments of the past thanks to her demon some great battle ensued. And it was after this conflict the noble warriors fell into darkness starting a war which lasted for she doesn't even know how long.
If literal God warriors could not save this world how the hell were children supposed to save it?!
It's not that Ruby denied or found this class lost of purpose, No for anyone who goes into this line of work they should know what they're up against It's just convenient that Ruby finds it that not even the teacher is fully aware of the dark threats lurking in this world.
Then again she was pretty damn sure that she was the only one who knew of the Shuriman ascended and the Fallen warriors that are the Darkin.
"This is what you are training to become, But first a story is in order. A tale of a young, handsome man, me. When I was a boy-"
The teacher began to rant on and on and on and on about an over exaggerated story which probably never happened!
However as the class was either A; struggling to keep their own eyes awake, or B: blatantly just passed out and taking a nap or flat out ignoring the teacher Ruby was going to be using this time to further her own agenda.
'come out Crow.'
Manifesting in her hands was an invisible crow which was unable to be seen by the human eye, looking into the bird's eye The crow gave a squawk which was unable to be heard by anyone. She would raise her hand in allow the bird to fly into the air before it left to go watch The headmaster.
It was at this moment where she sent out her crow She sent a slight glance towards the camera, She knew the headmaster was watching her and Evelyn, And with this little gesture of hers She practically indicated to Ozpin that there was nothing out of her sight which she did not want watched.
Ruby now establishing a much more "impose" statement towards the headmaster She returned to Peter Port lecture, which continued even until now and she was seriously starting to get sick of it.
"Hey Evelyn."
"Yes ruby?"
"Can I take another nap."
The demon giggled, "sure."
Ruby just smiled before laying her head upon The taller girls shoulder.
"By the end of it the Beowolf was no match for me skill and tenacity, And I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high. And celebrated as a hero."
The man would then proceed to give up a polite bow, before raising himself back up to speak again.
"The true meaning of this story a true huntsman must be honorable, a true huntsman must be dependable, a true huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise."
The entire time he was giving this whole little memo, Weiss looked towards the duo who hadn't moved a muscle, Ruby's soft gentle face resting against the demonesses shoulder as she kept her eyes closed but her ears perked up, Truth be told Ruby showed all of those back in the emerald Forest, She was honorable because She stayed true to the rules set and play even if they got bent a little, dependable Because she always stuck by her side while within it fighting the grimms alongside her, strategic and letting out her otherworldly powers in order to save the group. And pretty well educated if she was able to skip two grades, but she may not be the wises, But then again neither was she.
Sure she may not seem like it, Hell she might even be a freak but at the end of the day the girl had more backbone than the majority of the students within the school. She faced an army of Grimm's and live to tell a tale If that doesn't speak volumes to her potential as a huntress she didn't know what else would.
However the next question to leave the teacher's mouth would genuinely leave the class confused.
"However although a huntsman must show all these traits, I would like to ask of you all, What do you know of demons?"
The class remains silent, They all look towards one another demons were a whole other matter.
As the teacher looked around at the either confused scared or angred expressions he was going to continue but Ruby opened her eyes and spoke.
"Demons are a classification of negative spirits, they're dark entities which feed off of emotions. Each demon specializes in a different brand of emotion there are Demons who feed off of sorrow, others lust, agony, nightmares and more, however at the very tippity top of their totem pole The Demons all should fear the most are demons who strictly feed off of fear."
The class stared at the Innocent looking girl with a baffled expression, information on demons was extraordinarily hard to get, So the fact that she was just so informed it really did shake a lot of boats.
But for Peter Port, he was basically grinning at her, One of his students seem to be a little bit more advanced than all the others.
"Correct you are Ms Rose, Demons are vile creatures who feed off of human emotions, Now although many are not understood Demon should never be treated the same way as Grimms, we do not possess as much information on demons as we do the grimms, which means they are more unknown than them so they have more surprises to pull from there bag of tricks. But Ms Rose could you tell me the hierarchy of demons if you know?"
"Azakana, these are the name of the weakest demons. However after this point you reach where you could say is the midsection. Demons within this category aren't that much more different from one another except for the primary emotion they feed upon but other things that should be noted about demons of this level is that they are true demons. Azakana, means little demon they're in perfect demons."
"Splendid simply splendid!! Bravo Ms Rose bravo you will make a fine huntsman in the future!"
"Hehe stop it's embarrassing." Ruby gave a slight chuckle. "But would you like me to continue?"
"Oh by all means, I, as a Teacher, must listen to my students, That way I can get a general basis of where you stand in these upcoming discussions."
"Very well moving past Azakana and the normal layer You reach the realm of what we can call major demons I don't know much." That was a lie. "But from what my uncle has told me Demons of this level are much stronger and usually have some form of control over the lesser known demons."
"You would be correct on that, The higher a demon powers are means the more control they have over the ones below them. But if you do not mind Miss Rose who is your uncle? He sounds like a splendid man."
"Hehe My uncle isn't that special really, he just knows a few pointers here and there because he himself is a huntsman and had to deal with demons."
"Well that's lovely to hear, Now on to the final objective of today, Now that I had the little side question completed and you all understand the characteristics of what it means to be a huntsman would any of you like to come up and demonstrate your skills? Would you like to show if one of you qualify all theses trates are if your worthy of becoming a full fledge huntsman."
The class looked around, and ultimately it was Weiss Who stood up from her chair.
"I'll do it."
"Very well Mrs Schnee, please go get ready."
The girl nod and left.
She did Blake looked over at Ruby and got her attention by tapping her shoulder.
"Yes Blake?"
"Just wanted to ask how you knew so much, you know about demons."
"Well As I told the teacher I just know many things because of my uncle, but If I had to say how I took all this to heart it's because I'm kind of fascinated with them."
"Fascinated?" Blake had no idea how to respond, how can someone have a fascination with a diverse species which only job is to regularly slaughter mortal kind in order to harvest their emotions. To keep themselves alive.
Then again with the little demonic show she put on back in the emerald Forest, Blake would not be surprised if Ruby Rose their team leader had made some kind of contract with a demon.
And if this was the case she simply wanted to know why but felt two hesitant on asking because well Blake had yet to get over her fear of the girl.
'I should tell them... I mean If I can't tell everyone I can probably tell Ruby she seems to be in human herself so she'll probably understand... Right?'
Blake unfortunately would not hear the voice of God telling her what to do, instead she would hear the door open and from it Weiss walked in. With her combat uniform on, and her weapon in hand.
"Now you should be facing a live Grimm, and here it is."
Placing the cage which would contain the Grimm.
"This specific Grimm is known as a Boarbatusk, a Grimm that's more dangerous then any that you may have encountered so far."
'Lies that Nevermore was much more threatening.' thought Evelyn.
"They can come at you spinning at high speed, so best to avoid there attacks."
He opened the cage and the beast came out.
Taking the shape of a Boar this Grimm looked towards the Schnee as it growled at her.
'Alright Weiss get ready.'
She was ready for it to charge, however the beast seemed to pick up on something.
Turning it's head it saw Ruby looking at it.
Ruby and....
Fiddlesticks.
The Boar beast stretched in terror, the sudden change in its nature put the professor on edge.
"Mrs rose what are you doing to the Grimm?"
He knew of her aura thanks to Ozpin but... To think it would be this strong.
'No wonder Ozpin put emphasis on her otherworldly power, I've never seen anything like this.'
Weiss looked towards her teammate who happens moved. But telling from the way her eyes moved from her to the beast Weiss understood and went in for the kill.
Rushing forth her blade would have punched through its eye but suddenly ruby's hold on it's mind was broken off.
'So nocturne is in the school.' ruby stood up, this wasn't a matter for just Weiss anymore.
And she was proven correct when the Grimm blasted Weiss across the small arena, but strangely this Grimm would be taking noises just like any other wild creatures that just landed an attack but it was silent.
It was so off putting, the way it moved it's legs was so unnatural.
"Mrs Weiss whatever to do Dodge it's attacks."
"I know professor!"
The beast came at her but when it would seem like she should have dodge it, the beast was suddenly pulled into her, like some outside force forced the beast to move in such a way.
Weiss hit the ground hard, the hell was this thing!
'Damn, I think that might have cracked a rib, I barely had enough time to use my aura to shield me, if I had been a few seconds off I would be dead.'
The teacher was about to step in, this Grimm was now more of a threat then it would be but...
*Squawk*
The sound of a crow was heard?
Well it didn't matter the Grimm ran towards Weiss but seemingly out of the dark corners of the darkness itself Ruby appeared Infront of Weiss as black peddles fell at her side, her demonic eye burning with a sinister ghostly flame that burned with Eldritch green power.
The Grimm seemed to respond to her arrival, slowly backing down it would appear that whatever had a hold on it was begining to weaken.
'Little li-gh-t, Nocturne's hold on the beast... Is weak-en-inggggg... Fear is coming from it, it knows it's end will come.'
'... Good.' she turned to her teammate. "Weiss you ok?"
"Ya." She slowly got up.
"Does your rib hurt?"
"... Hm I think it's cracked."
"Ok, we'll get it healed after this alright."
"Ya, let's just get this over with."
The girl rose up next to Ruby as she kept her gaze on the Boar.
"Ruby, think you can give me some cover?"
".... Plenty."
Ruby called forth a large flock of Crows, Weiss seeing this used her gravity manipulation dust she caused the boar to float into the air unable to control its own movements before the birds rammed into it tearing into its flesh, Weiss seeing this ran alongside ruby as they struck.
Weiss's Myrtenaster and Ruby's crescent rose struck true, with Ruby taking the Boar's head and Weiss's blade pinning it to the ground, as the body of the Grimm dissolved into black particles.
The crows Ruby summoned dissolved into black iker as they returned to her being.
"I must say this was a splendid display of teamwork and coordination, trust and cooperation, and it is in my honor that I say that Mrs Rose, Mrs Schnee you showed the core traits of what it means to be a huntress, congratulations."
Looking upon one another Weiss raised her hand and we'll Ruby didn't know what she was trying to do.
"Hey dolt do you not know what a high five is?"
"Ahh... no."
Weiss just sighed.
"Really? *Sighs* well guess that can't be helped, give me your hand."
Ruby mimicked the same movements that her teammate made and when there hands connected, the echo reverb throughout the entire room as they both looked upon one another.
"Thanks Ruby."
".... No problem Weiss. But hey."
"Ya what is it?"
"You know that was my first high five, and im glad I got to share it with someone I can trust."
Weiss became embarrassed and looked away. "Ya well... I guess it wasn't so bad.... It was good."
Ruby smiled and with this they left, returning to their chair only to have a teacher finish up class before they were dismissed.
Now out they continue their day like any other, eventually with them heading back to there dorms and readying to head off to bed but not Ruby.
"Evelyn."
The demon stood behind her as there glowing eyes light up the shadows which tried to conceal their presence.
"Is it time?"
"..... Yes, we hunt for Nightmares itself."
*Meanwhile.*
Outside of beacon flying high throughout the air a mysterious raven could be seen looking in.
It's six piercing red eyes scanned the hallways, it's body made from darkness and mystery disobeyed gravity ad it floated there, it's wings spread wide and keeping it afloat.
Watching closer it's eyes came along the sight of Ruby walking through the hallways.
The bird looking on flew closer, like a sirens call the bird followed, the taste of secrets right there before it's very beak.
The call it had, it was to much for the beings mind, and with its raven and scarlet wings it took flight towards the girl who could feed it's hungry forever...
However...
"Secrets." The demonic voice of Ruby Rose called for to him.
The bird looked outside and saw the girl floating before him, raven black wings made of dark energy formed from her back keeping her afloat.
"No, your names Raum. Isn't it."
The bird nod it's head.
"I see... Why are you hear?"
"ᛞᚨᚱᚴ ᛋᛖᚲᚱᛖᛏᛋ ᚲᚨᛚᛚᛋ ᛏᛟ ᛗᛖ... ᛋᛖᚲᚱᛖᛏᛋ ᚹᚺᛁᚲᚺ ᛁ ᚠᛖᚨᛋᛏ ᚢᛈᛟᚾ"
The bird spoke with inhuman words with scratches of a monstrous demonic notes mixed within, the words couldn't even be called as such, it was something inhuman all together.
But Ruby was no human and she knew his words.
" "Dark Secrets calls to me... Secrets which I feast upon," so this is why you came to me. To devour my secrets?"
The bird nod. No point in lying.
"Hmm, we see, but before you try, let me ask of you. Where is Nocturne?"
The bird looked upon her, it's Six eyes narrowed.
"I see, you think we will kill you once we get what we require, but I can assure you I will do no such thing, but if you are afraid of losing this then I will ask. What of a contract between us?"
The Ravens head twist to the side, confused, he knew she already had Evelynn, so why would she need him?
Then again he's powers revolve around secrets, to find what others wish buried, this was very useful especially when you need to know everything about someone.
"ᚤᛟᚢ ᚹᛟᚢᛚᛞ ᚠᛟᚱᛗ ᚨ ᚲᛟᚾᛏᚱᚨᚲᛏ ᛒᛖᛏᚹᛖᛖᚾ ᛗᛖ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚤᛟᚢ, ᛒᛁᚾᛞ ᛗᚤ ᛖᛋᛋᛖᚾᚲᛖ ᛏᛟ ᚤᛟᚢ ᛃᚢᛋᛏ ᛚᛁᚴᛖ ᛖᚡᛖᛚᚤᚾᚾ?" (You would form a contract between me and you, bind my essence to you just like Evelynn?)
"Yes, but as of now you can think upon it, after all given your action in the past having this partnership could prove to be beneficial to you and us, after all, I house one of the most ancient beings in the entire universe, so while you're off consuming others secrets and relaying them to us, we could feed you the darkest secrets of this universe. Such things could be enough to satisfy your hunger for eternity. But again I am not going to force this upon you, sense you hold No hostility towards the one I care for. And also as of now I have much bigger concerns to worry about such as nightmare."
Raum looked at the girl then at the school building.
"...... ᚤᛟᚢ ᚹᛁᛚᛚ ᚠᛁᚾᛞ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛖᛏᛖᚱᚾᚨᛚ ᛋᚺᚨᛞᛟᚹ ᛁᚾ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛞᛖᛖᛈᛖᛋᛏ ᚱᛖᚨᛚᛗᛋ ᛟᚠ ᛞᚱᛖᚨᛗᛋ, ᛏᚺᛖᚱᛖ ᚺᛖ ᛋᛏᛟᚲᚴᛋ ᚺᛁᛋ ᛈᚱᛖᚤ ᚺᛖ ᛁᛋ ᚺᚢᚾᛏᛁᚾᚷ ᚠᛟᚱ ᛋᛟᛗᛖᛏᚺᛁᚾᚷ, ᚺᛖ ᛁᛋ ᚺᚢᚾᛏᛁᚾᚷ ᚠᛟᚱ ᚤᛟᚢ, ᚺᛖ ᛁᛋ ᚺᚢᚾᛏᛁᚾᚷ ᚠᛟᚱ ᛖᚡᛖᛚᚤᚾ, ᚺᛖ ᛁᛋ ᚺᚢᚾᛏᛁᚾᚷ ᛏᛟ ᚠᛁᚾᛞ ᛟᚢᛏ ᚹᚺᚨᛏ ᚤᛟᚢ'ᚱᛖ ᛞᛟᛁᚾᚷ ᚺᛖᚱᛖ." (...... You will find the eternal shadow in the deepest realms of dreams, there he stocks his prey, he is hunting for something, he is hunting for you, he is hunting for Evelyn, he is hunting to find out what you're doing here. )
Ruby upon hearing this nod her head, turning from the bird she flew back towards the school But not before giving her final message.
"Remember, The contract is open whenever you wish to take it."
The bird didn't move it just simply watched Ruby disappear into a burst of black petals before she appeared back inside the hallway.
Raum took this time to just fly away, It had what it needed, and something much more.
It looks like Swain wasn't going to be the only one this demon would bond too, for it seems like this girl is as useful as a candidate as he is.
He would be back, to fulfill this contract.
Because what demon would be stupid enough to turndown such an offer especially when it's from the vessel of fiddlesticks himself.
*Back with the Duo.*
Ruby arrived with her girlfriend as they swept through the entire school looking for the demon, however they weren't able to find his vessel meaning he was most likely hopping between people, which would make this even more annoying.
But Ruby was about to call it a night, the sun was rising and if they weren't there there teammates would start asking questions and Ruby doesn't want them pulling into a problem with demons.
But on a different note Ruby's crow that had been watching Ozpin had something rather interested to report sense it would appear that the headmaster saw her conversation with Raum and grew increasingly more concerned sense this would mean even less control over the girl.
Tch, like he had any at all.
But however there was a key note about this, apparently General Ironwood would be paying a visit sense Ruby's pressence kind of shifted the power in all of this region, so he would most likely be here to speak with her about becoming something more.
But in all actuality it was nothing more then a cheep way of them trying to get Ruby into a possession where they could watch her better and basically try and control her more.
Like that was ever going to happen.
"Evelyn."
"Yes ruby?"
"If we became the enemy's of the world, do you think I could still be able to save a d protect my family?"
".... Don't know ruby, where not Omnipresent, we can't be everywhere, and from what where finding of this place It is seeming like it has more darker and darker secrets It would appear that this headmaster is a slimy old liar and a deceiver at that. Quite impressive actually he was able to maintain a lie this grand."
"It's a bunch of bologna."
"Yes it very much is."
They return to silence once again as they looked outside the window The sun's light began to shine over the horizon and as such the two of them took off back to their room, upon arriving none of the teammates began to wake up which was a good sign So using this opportunity they both took a shower together.
Standing there under the warm water Ruby and her girlfriend allowed it to wash off all the gunk which may have been on them, But the smaller ones mine continued to play out events which did not belong to her but instead of fiddlestick.
It was like watching a movie except a lot more gruesome and more gory, She could hear their screams, She could watch them die with her very own "eyes", listen how he stole their voices and used it to slaughter their loved ones.
All of this was just a common occurrence at this point, Ruby had gotten used to it however she was broken out of this train of thought when Evelyn's arms came slithering around her waist pulling her in, ruby layed against the taller girl.
"What are you thinking about Ruby?"
".... Nothing Just going over some memories which I'm receiving from fiddlesticks."
"I see, anything interesting?"
"Do you know a being known as Aurelion Sol?"
"Yes the star forger The one who created the Galaxy and the heavens themselves."
"Yes the one who brought in the first star, I remember when he and Fiddlesticks first cross paths, It was an empty abyss both entities lost in darkness, until Aurelion Sol created the first star and gave light which was then the catalyst which allowed the two of them to see each other, the dragon of light, the being who forges stars. And the demon of terror who gives only darkness, The two primordial entities looked upon one another not sure how to address the other. It was then that the two of them just left each other alone as they had other things to do."
"Hmmm quite The little encounter, Tell me what was the dragon like?"
"He was beautiful, a body composed of thousands of shimmering stars, a form of power, greatness and a higher existence, he is truly a being which can be called a God."
"Now what did fiddlesticks look like?"
"He was... Nothing yet something, flesh but not flesh, he was a mass of darkness feeding off of this new realities fear, The Infinite screams of creation, All this terror only served to feed this ever growing being of darkness."
Evelyn just chuckled at this, This was actually quite amusing to her twisted mind.
"Isn't that something great to know."
Ruby did not answer that instead she simply grabbed the body wash and the shampoo along with the conditioner and began to do her daily cleaning.
Running the shampoo through her hair, She felt the tiny droplets of water which coalesced into streams which came from the holes from the shower head flow through her hair Thanks to the shampoo it ran off of her in a soapy wave, Using her fingers she ran them through cleaning out her hair from all that needed to be expelled.
Evelyn helped of course, how could she not? This was basically a perfect opportunity to get all touchy feely with her girlfriend.
So after a little bit longer the duo would become a lot more refreshed, But as they were about to leave Ruby was the one who took initiative and leaned up to her girlfriend giving her a kiss on the lips before pulling away.
"Ready for another day love?"
"Ahah, Oh Ruby of course I am."
"Hehe."
Now dressed The two of them left, They woke up their team and their new day would begin.
But from this point forward their school life was going to get much more intense.
Not that in mind the two demons whether it be Gods or humans, wizards or warriors, or hell even the Darkin they'll be there to watch them bleed and die, Because this was their lives and they were not going to let anyone derail their fate.
Or as Ruby would put it.
Their own perfect lives.
There You have it ladies and gentlemen This newest chapter is done I hope you all enjoyed it.
Holy s*** I'm actually back I'm not dead guys surprisingly So to get you caught up a lot of s*** happened since I last updated family drama me nearly ripping the muscle in my leg and school deciding to throw like a hundred test at me because guess what f****** I guess.
Along with hanging out with the homies and a bunch of other family stuff I hadn't had much time to update but now I actually got to sit down right and you know what I have this over 8,400 long chapter for you guys so you know what I think I did pretty damn good.
No you may be wondering why the hell is there another demon showing up only on the 7th chapter Well guess what buckaroo They will be more in the future because guess what Ruby's basically a magnet for demons What do you expect from someone who carries the literal king of all demons inside of them.
Anyways moving on with this If you're all wondering how the general plot of Ruby may become changed by this well I can assure you that most League of Legends characters will play a part in this in some way like for instance the people of the Black mist will be coming along later into the story and I guess you can say thanks to this pretty long forceful break of mine I have been able to come up with quite a bit of creative ways to use these characters So I hope you guys are ready because guess what I got a whole new bag of tricks and it's deeper than a damn black hole.
So hope you guys had a good day I will catch you all within the next chapter or update whenever the hell that is And yeah see you guys later.
