RWBY - New horizons (Inconsistent Updates)

Chapter 4:first day jitters

3rd person p.o.v.
Team Void's dorm

The first day of classes found team void awake...for the most part. Three of the team members were staring at the remaining member, who was dead asleep in her bunk, sawing logs.
One boy, a red haired boy named Renji Sturm, whispered," Patricia, what should we do?" Patricia, a brown-haired girl of average height and build, said," don't ask me, ask the bossman." Before Renji could ask the team leader, a tall, skinny boy with white hair named Shinigami Thompson, what to do, Shinigami produced an air horn, and grinned widely, saying," cover your ears." As soon as Renji and Patricia had covered their ears, Shinigami let loose a loud blast from the horn, startling the sleeping girl into awareness. Shinigami exclaimed," good morning, team! We have many things to accomplish!" The girl, a pinkette named Akina Shirogetsu, glared at Shinigami, and said angrily," was the air horn REALLY necessary?!" Shinigami said," for comedic effect? Hell yes." Akina stood up, and growled," so you woke me up with an air horn... JUST TO GET A FEW GODDAMN LAUGHS?!?!" Renji interrupted with," before you start hitting him, maybe we should unpack?" One of the bulging suitcases burst open, spilling its contents onto the floor, prompting Patricia to say," and perhaps clean up a bit as well?" As she cast a sidelong glance at her now broken suitcase and pile of belongings. Akina sighed, and said," fine. But you're not off the hook, Shinigami-" Shinigami cut her off, saying, " great! Let's get started." After everyone was unpacked and the dorm room was clean, Shinigami said," now, classes for the day. We've got somebody named professor port at 9-" Akina said," at 9? It's 8:45, You idiot! We haven't even had breakfast yet!" And ran out the door, the rest of the team following.

Professor port' s class

Team Specter had just found good seats and were conversing with team nightfall when the doors almost exploded inwards as team void burst in, panting and gasping for breath. They took the seats next to team specter, and Damon grinned at Shinigami, who looked quite bothered about something, but returned the grin anyway. As the lecture droned on, Damon woke up briefly enough to watch as Akina brazenly state," I possess those traits, sir!" As Shinigami was startled awake by her outburst. As port called her down, she grabbed her weapon, a high-impact revolver/shortsword, from her storage locker. She took up a stance, and said," I'm ready." Port opened a cage, revealing a Beowulf. Akina calmly switched from shortsword mode to revolver mode, and fired a full clip into the bony plate armor on its face. As it roared in pain and lunged at her, she switched to shortsword mode, slashing at its stomach. She switched back to revolver mode as it wheeled around, growling. As it stalked closer, she confidently took aim at the crack in the face armor, and pulled the trigger. An ominous click echoed through the room as she realized she had spent all her ammo on creating the crack in the beowulf's armor. Panicking slightly, she switched back to sword mode, and swung at the beowulf, only to have it smack the sword out of her hand. She backed up, hitting the wall, braced for the pain as the Beowulf reared back, raising an arm to strike her down. It never happened. She looked up to see an irate Shinigami glaring at her over his shoulder, sheathing his longsword as the Beowulf dissolved. He turned and stormed out of the classroom, Akina following him. Damon and Victor stood up and followed. In the hall, Akina said," Shinigami, wait-" he whirled around, and spat," that was a ridiculously stupid stunt you pulled back there. You almost got yourself killed, and had that been an actual battle, you would have likely killed not only yourself, but myself and the rest of the team as well. You talk a lot, Akina, but talk is cheap. You have not only shown me that you don't plan ahead very well, You put all your resources and effort into plans that you know are flawed. Your fatal pride will prove just that if you can't grow up- it will be the death of you." And walked off, leaving a slightly trembling Akina. Suddenly, Victor ran up to her, and said," which way did he go?" She pointed mutely down the left hallway, and Victor said," wait here. I'll talk to him." Akina nodded, and Damon walked up to her as Victor vanished down the hall. Damon said," You ok?" She responded with," am I really that weak to him? Is my pride and self-confidence really that high, that it interferes with my ability to work on a team?" Damon sighed, and said," look, Shinigami may have said those things, but I doubt he meant most of them. He's just worried about you, and hes taking a hard stance on your performance today because he wants you to do better, as odd as that may sound. Give him time, he'll apologize." Akina said," thanks..." and smiled. Damon said," You need me to walk you to your dorm?" Akina said," no, but thanks." Damon said," call me if you need to talk again." Akina smiled, and left. Meanwhile, Victor was searching for Shinigami, finally finding him in the courtyard. Victor said," what's got you so pissed? You never get that mad over needing to save someone, and you seemed bothered by something when you got to class. You gonna talk about it, or am i gonna have to sit here until you do?" Shinigami said," Victor, i think your father made a mistake..." Victor said," come again?" Shinigami sighed, and said," I'm not fit to be a leader... I can't even keep my own team together, much less lead it properly..." Victor said," My father may be many things, but rash isn t one of them. He had a reason. He saw in you the capability to lead, so I wouldn't doubt yourself just yet. Plus, it's only been a day. Teambuilding takes time." Shinigami smiled, and nodded.

Akina was draped over her homework, struggling to stay awake. Struggling, and failing. Just before she fell asleep, however, Shinigami walked up to her, prompting her to say," oh, sorry, I'm awake, im sor-" Shinigami held up a hand, and said," how do you take your coffee?" Akina, half-asleep, didn't understand why he was asking about coffee, so she just stared, prompting him to say," well?" She stammered out," th-three creams, 4 sugars!" He smiled, and grabbed a cup of coffee, put in three creams and four sugars, and handed it to her, saying," sorry about earlier. I just... It got to me, all the responsibility, and feeling like I was failing you as your leader..." Akina smiled, and said," it's alright. I'll try to work on my teamwork and planning ahead." Shinigami nodded, and said," problems 3,4,7,9, and 12 are wrong. They need the quadratic formula, not the box method." She said," thanks." Shinigami turned and went back to his bunk, and said," I'll try not to disappoint you, Akina."

A/N

Well, I said I'd have an update out within two weeks of the second part of initiation. And I have delivered. But seriously, 14 views in less than a week. Wow. This is only my third story, so that's big for me. The first one just wouldn't make sense no matter how I wrote it, and I just lost inspiration for the second one. But if enough requests for me to pick up kill the darkness within accumulate, I'll try my best. As always, I dont own RWBY. I do own my OCs, however. Depending on scheduling, I may be able to update once a week or more starting from the middle of December to the end of january, since I'm out of college until spring semester. No promises, though. Until next time!
