The Guardian Rose

Chapter 13: Preparations for the Ball.

Weiss: And once it's all over, we'll return for our search, rested and ready.

Ruby: So what do ya think?

Blake: I think this is a colossal waste of time.

Blake walks away from the group and opens the dorm door.

Blake: I'll be in the library.

She walks out of the room.

Yang: Great.

Weiss: She can't keep going on like this.

Y/N: No she can't.

There's a knock at the door and Weiss approaches and opens it. Jaune appears at the door with a guitar.

Jaune: *Singing* Weiss!

Weiss slams the door in his face.

Jaune: Oh, come on, open the door! I promise not to sing.

Weiss opens the door.

Jaune: *Singing* I lied! Weiss Schu-nee, will you accompany me, to the dance on... Sunday!?

Weiss: Are you done?

Jaune: Yes?

Weiss: No.

She shuts the door in his face. Turning around, she sees the others staring at her.

Weiss: What?

Everyone is standing precariously.

Yang: And that is why they call you the Ice Queen.

Y/N: Or Ice Princess.

Ruby finally collapses.

Weiss: All my life, boys have only cared about the perks of my last name. Besides, I already have a date in mind.

Y/N: (What makes you think he is after your name? He has his own already.)

Ruby: Date or no date, none of this will matter if we can't get Blake to go.

Suddenly there was a knock a the door.

Weiss: Jaune, if that's you go away.

There was another knock at the door.

Ruby: Who is it?

???: -. . ---

Weiss: Morse code?

Y/N: Oh! my new teammate.

Ruby: Oh! you got a new teammate?

Y/N: Yeah, she's an old friend of mine. Just, don't attack her please.

Yang: Why would we attack her?

Y/N put his hand on the doorknob before looking back.

Y/N: Just don't okay? Her records were wiped clean.

He opened the door revealing Neo in her uniform giving off a big smile.

Neo: Hi, I'm Y/N's new teammate. My name's Neo Politan.

Yang's eyes turned red as she saw Neo.

Yang: YOU!

Yang went to attack Neo, only for Y/N to block her punch.

*CRACK*

Yang's eyes widened when she heard the loud crack. She backed away only to see Y/N smile.

Y/N: Whew, that was a close one.

Everyone saw that Y/N's arms were covered in shadows. A large crack could be seen forming where Yang punched him.

Yang: Why are you protecting that criminal?
