Devil Bringer (working on revisions)

Part 7: A Night at the Dance

Hello Demon Hunters and Deadweights! Sorry this chapter took so long. It's my longest one, clocking in around 4,000+ words. Also, I've been busy playing Spider-Man PS4 and I was soooo not emotionally prepared for this game.

Before the chapter begins, I wanted to explain a few things about the future of the series.

1. After the currently unnamed Book 3, I'll probably make a singular book with Call Me V, Devil Bringer, and the 3rd book as one completed thing (mostly because when subsequent books are released they'll be three volumes bundled into one book).

2. There will be two more books after said re-release, with Book 2 being Volumes 4-6 and Book 3 being Vol. 7 onward.

3. In regards to changes from canon, more deviations will come in the future, especially with events of the conclusion of Vol. 3 which subsequently changes Volumes 4 and 5. And then Volume 6 will set up for the bigger canon changes. Vol. 7 will serve as a sort of framework for starting Book 3, but beyond that I'm pretty certain almost all of it will be my original story up to the conclusion.

4. Depending on how I feel, I might take a bit of a break from this series to make another fanfic after I'm done writing Vol. 3.Whether this happens or not remains to be seen, but worry not: I will always be sure to work on the Call Me V series.

Alright, with that outta the way, let's get to the actually interesting bits in the chapter!

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

After spending the day setting up for the dance, and getting dresses for the occasion, Team RWBY, minus Blake, had gone back to their dorm room. Yang was rummaging through her possessions trying to find something while her Scroll played a slow dance song. Weiss was attempting, and so far failing, to teach Ruby to dance.

Ruby was by no means an elegant dancer, less so with the high heels she now wore. She barely knew how to walk in them, much less dance in them. Weiss hadn't had much luck getting her to learn; her sore feet could attest to that.

"Ruby, you dunce!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Dancing is so hard!"

"Just try to follow my lead."

"I am! But these lady stilts are stupid!"

"You're unbelievable sometimes! You have to wear heels to the dance, but you can barely walk in them, and you certainly can't dance with them."

"I've never needed heels before. They're dumb."

"I feel sorry for Nero given how much you'll be stepping on his feet. Again. From the top."

The silver eyed leader sighed, "Not again..."

"All right now left and right and forth and AUGH!"

"Sorry Weiss!"

"My feet, my poor little feet...."

Yang stopped her searching to clutch her stomach as she doubled over with laughter at the situation. However, the noise was interrupted by a knock at the door. Weiss stopped the music as Yang stopped laughing.

"Oh, maybe Blake's back!" Ruby said hopefully.

"But why would she need to knock?" Weiss pointed out.

"Hey Rubes, you there?"

Ruby became pale at the sound of Nero's voice at the door. Weiss was similarly alarmed while Yang grinned like a maniac.

"Hello? Anyone?"

"Maybe you should answer it, or maybe we should invite him in and show him your dancing skills!" Yang urged her sister jokingly.
