PLEASE READ UNTIL THE END FOR STORY UPDATE


The fragmented moon illuminated the night as is shined upon Patch. Shadowy figures roamed through the silent streets as if they were rats searching for food.

Alley to alley they snuck around the city before arriving to their destination.

A simple park that had cobblestone pavement aligned to form pathways for people. Trees surrounded them giving it more of a nature vibe as they walked deeper into the park.

The leader, a figure with blue trimmings on his black coat, raised his hand causing the others to stop. Taking another step forward his servants remained as he walked along the railing that protected people from falling into the river. Stopping in his tracks he looked on ahead.

A lone orange light, that came from the captivated flames, shined on the small bridge. Resuming his trek his footsteps brought an echo through the silent night. Step by step he approached the light to reveal a rather short man staring at the waters below.

"It's been a while… Hiroto…" the cloaked figure spoke.

Receiving nothing but a slow nod from the man. The now identified Hiroto gave the towering man a sad glance, "Has our relationship really fallen this low?"

"Yes."

"I had no say in it, and you know it." the old man replied somberly. Looking on ahead as a small leaf danced in front of him he grabbed it with his fingers, "Your older sister-"

"My older sister is gone," the man interrupted quite harshly, "There is nothing left of her. Not in spirit, body, or even something to remember her by. I am the only person who can carry out what she would've wanted."

Silence reigned over the two. The hooded man's cloak flapped with the tone of the wind. Silently staring at the disappointment before him, "You were weak before, and you're a weakling now. All of your accomplishments meant nothing when it came to family. I'll ask you once more…", looking at the man that had fallen so low from the pedestal he held him in previously he could feeling his hand shake by just by the mans mere presence he balled it into a fist, "Is the artifact ready for the heirs taking?"

Giving him an impassive look, he nodded.

"Good, i'll assume Ena knows of this as well," the man replied before he entered the shadows seemingly disappearing with them. He could hear the crunching of the leaves that signified his little rats following their king.

Looking back at the once calm stream, it had turned into one similar of a raging tide. Prepared to consume anything in its path with a small fox of to the side holding nothing but curiosity. Looking at it, almost as if it was debating to tempt the currents.

'Not as dead as you think she is…'

/

A pair of dark blue, and silver eyes looked down at the resting blond before them. They had just finished cleaning Zweis little mess that had been made on the whiskered teen. In all honesty it was something the two agreed to never do again.

Letting out a sigh the leader of JNPR slumped further into his chair. Taking a quick look at his fellow blond he was out like a light in the same area he was in before. Giving his friend a further look his eyes slightly darkened.

The fist sized scar that would've killed anyone else. He was sure of it.

Yet somehow Naruto had managed to survive the mysterious attack, and had the proof to show it.

Just what had his friend been through?

"Whatcha thinking about?" his gradient haired companion asked.

Giving her a glance he focused back on the blond , "You ever… think just what-"

"He's gone through?" she interrupted, only for Jaune to give her a slow nod, "All the time." she answered cheerfully.

"I-i don't know it's just whenever we're in class he always has this longing look… like there's apart of him that wishes he was somewhere else," glancing to see if Ruby was still listening he was somewhat surprised to see her give a sad nod.

It was true. No matter how much his eyes shined or sparkled there was a piece of it that darkened whenever he seemingly got lost in thought.

"Like that scar," pointing at it the two turned their attention onto it, "Ever since I saw it i've always wondered just how he got it… how he survived…"

"But?"

A sad smile formed on Jaunes face, "But, it's just I don't think he thinks that much of me…" letting out a sigh he looked at Ruby, "Out of all of us i'm pretty sure he trusts you the most." he finished with a smile.

Her eyes widened a little when she heard that as a red tint started to form on her cheeks, "I-i'm sure your downplaying yourself. Sure we don't know a lot about him, but he's Naruto." giving the teen a glance a radiant smile graced her lips, "The hyperactive knucklehead we've all grown to love. When he feels like telling us he'll tell us."

"Or we can probably ask the silver haired guy."

"Ozpin?"

Shaking his head, "The other one."

"Oh….OH" her face lit up in realization, "That guy gives me the creeps…"

"Really?" Jaune asked with a raised brow, "Seemed like a pretty cool guy to me."

Giving the Arc a blank look she knew exactly why he thought that, "Is it the mask?"

"It's the mask…"

The two let out a small laugh, stopping only after Naruto started to stir. Looking at him the two once more shared a glance before returning their focus.

"He likes you, ya know," Jaune spoke shocking the girl.

"W-what?" she asked a bit flustered.

Raising a brow he turned to face the girl, "What you didn't know?" he asked, but before she could say anything he continued, "Yeah whenever he looks at you he always has this, bright smile on his face. Hell, even when you're name is mentioned he always perks up a little," Closing his eyes he crossed his arms with a smirk on his lips,"and that's not even mentioning the small glances he gives you during class."

Silence fell over the two.

"Ruby?" he asked while cracking one eye open only to find the girl gone, and only a trail of rose petals that headed out the door. Getting up he poked his head out only to find himself in a metaphorical garden that the girl had created.

Sweat dropping at the girls antics he closed the door before approaching the blond. Grabbing a spare shirt he had gotten while they cleaned the mess he looked at the blond laying down in front of him.

Maybe he was downplaying himself. Afterall, the two were blond buddies.

Not resisting the tug of his lips he got on his knees, before entering the struggle that was getting the shirt on to the boy. Grabbing Naruto's arms, he pulled them through the sleeves before pulling down the rest of the shirt.

Stopping as he reached the teens abdomen his face gained a look of complete confusion. Raising a brow he poked Naruto's stomach before looking around.

Was he imagining things?

'Where the hell did the tattoo go?'

/

Oceanic blue fluttered themselves open as it's pupils dialated to accommodated the dark. Shutting them from the world a groan was heard.

'What happened?' Naruto thought, opening his eyes once more.

Thinking back on it Jaune and him had made it to the house before Ren came along, and than-

"OH CRAP!" Jumping out of the bed memories of the event flooded his brain. Jaune, Blake, and him had barred themselves into a room before the door busted open with the supposed 'beast'. Furiously glancing around the room sweat poured down the sides of his face. Realizing there was nothing in the room he let out a relieved sigh before dropping his guard. Once more looking around he paid the room a much greater attention of detail.

It was definitely the same one they had barricaded themselves in. The several grimm figures that aligned themselves on the the open window he couldn't help but have his jaw hang slightly open.

Just how stupid were they?

"We could've easily left through the window…" he mumbled to himself while scratching his cheek.

Shaking his head in disappointment he started making his way towards the door. Whatever had hit him it was something he didn't want to get hit by again. Preferably ever. He could still feel the stinging sensation coming from his stomach. Hell the fox might have felt it too.

Opening the door he poked his head out. The sound of the T.V. blasting some dialogue caught his attention.

'Must be watching a movie.'

Taking a step out of the room he closed the door behind him softly. Walking towards the stairs he was as quiet as a feather falling with each step he took. Going a bit further down he was able to make out some figures laying around the living room.

Almost all of them seemed to be either sleeping or on the verge of a losing battle between the state of conscious and un. Descending a bit further he found Jaune laying on the floor with his limbs spread apart everywhere. The 'WBY' of RWBY all laid on the couch with Weiss having just enough space to suit her luxurious needs. While Ren seemed to be completely knocked out with Nora next to him holding a devilish grin.

She giggled slightly making Naruto look at her weird as she snuggled Ren.

"No," Ren muttered in his sleep with a disgruntled look.

"Yes," The orange haired girl giggle.

Naruto's eyebrows couldn't have disappeared fast enough.

'I-i don't think I even want to know….'

"Oh," a voice spoke before it yawned. Turning his head he was met with long red hair that had been released from its ponytail, "Nice to see you awake." she spoke once more while rubbing her eye and letting out a yawn.

Giving her a lil wave he glanced over at the unconscious forms of his friends.

"Wanna help me bring these three upstairs?" she asked while placing Nora on her back before carrying Jaune bridal style.

Giving her a quick nod he grabbed gently, before placing him on his back. Looking at the three members of team RWBY, surely they wouldn't mind sleeping on the couch. Following the warrior clad girl up the stairs they made their way through the halls before entering the room.

"Where should I leave hi-"

THUD

Focusing his attention on the sound he found Nora's body peacefully sleeping on the wooden floor.

"She's…. A heavy sleeper…"

"I can see that…." he replied while giving her a blank look.

A moment of silence fell over the two with Pyrrha rubbing her arm out of embarrassment.

"Just place him on the ground."

Raising a brow he gave the warrior a look. She was clearly a bit drowsy with the way she was swaying.

"So why'd we have to bring them up here if they're going to sleep on the ground anyways?"

Once more silence.

Closing her eyes she pinched the bridge of her nose. Staying like that for a couple of seconds she let out an audible sigh, "Hush…"

"But-"

"Hush…"

Closing his mouth he did just as he was told.

THUD

"Not like that!" she yelled barely above a whisper.

Giving her a sheepish smile he scratched the back of his head before looking at Ren. Somehow he hadn't awaken from that little drop.

"I'll just… uh… go…" he spoke.

But he stopped at what he saw. He didn't know HOW she did it but somehow Nora was SLEEP CRAWLING towards Ren, a moment later she was snuggling the boy. Naruto blinked.

What the actual hell

Taking a few steps back he saw Pyrrha give him a grateful nod. She must've been very tired. Just what had they done while he was out? Eh, those were questions for another time.

Hearing the door click he let his hand go of the handle. Once more letting out a sigh he wasn't even sure where exactly he would be sleeping. There was that room he woke up in, but something told him that wasn't it.

The colors of black and red caught the corner of his eye as he gave it a curious glance. His eyes slightly widened at seeing Ruby sitting against the wall passed out. Her knees were tucked into her chest with her arms wrapped around them as she laid her head in a fetal position.

Approaching the girl slowly he crouched down before leaning his head in a bit further out of curiosity. A smile tugged its way onto his lips at the sound of her light snoring. Shaking his head a bit he refrained himself from poking the passed out girl. Instead his attention diverted to the laundry machine that laid across from them.

Getting up he dusted his clothes before approaching it. Might as well help her out, hell he had nothing else to do. Opening the machine without a second thought he was expected to find rose themed clothing, but was genuinely surprised to see… his?

"What?" he muttered to himself.

Giving Ruby a quick glance he was even more surprised to see another basket that had dried clothes in them. How in the world did he miss that?

Smiling once more he rummaged through the basket in search of his orange jacket. Finding it, he moved her head just enough for him to be able to wrap it around her. His actions seemed to pay off as a small smile graced her pale face before she nuzzled into it.

Standing there for a couple of seconds he looked down at the girl. Her body had a rhythm to it as she breathed in and out with her light snoring turning into a more audible one to his ears. Leaning against the wall he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Adorable…"

Sliding his back on the wall he rested his arms on his knees respectively. Looking at her peaceful face he couldn't help but be reminded of Yang's words.

'This thing you and my little sister have going on. I don't care how it goes, but if you ever harm her or force her to do something in any way… well not even all the hunters and huntresses in the world can help you from my wrath'

What thing was she referring to? The only thing shared between Ruby and him was his insta-ramen when she didn't have anything else. They hung out when they weren't in school, and did meet up on the roof of the building when they weren't supposed to. Watching the star as the cool spring breeze washed over them. Every moment they spent, no matter how big or small, felt just like… just like… just like the moments with Team 7.

A warm bubbly feeling that he never wanted to let go no matter the cost. It was the reason for his nindō. To never give up, and keep pushing through no matter the toll on his body, for he wanted to keep that warm feeling. The warm feeling all his precious ones gave him. He would protect them.

He would protect the rose that had blossomed in his heart.

Rubbing his head he failed to stifle a yawn that escaped his lips. Even after being knocked out for most of the day he still somehow managed to find a way to be tired.

Looking at the sleeping Rose he stood himself up before stretching his arms out. With an audible pop heard from his joints he crouched himself to Ruby's side. Sliding his arm under her pajamaed knees he made sure not to touch anywhere he wasn't supposed to.

Jiraiya had shown him many times just what a curious look could do… which was shortly followed up by a beating… that was a big no, no. Especially with how many trained anti-perverts were in the house. He'd be castrated.

Shuddering with just the thought he tightly closed his eyelids before furiously shaking his head.

'Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.'

He did not. At any and all costs. Want to think of that.

'HAPPY THOUGHTS!'

Calming down a little he let out a breath of air that he didn't even know he was holding. Focusing back to his previous objective, he slid his other arm under her head before lifting her up. It was funny hearing her snores only get louder when there wasn't anything that could restrain it.

Feeling her nuzzle further into his jacket and into his chest he couldn't help but give her a curious look. Was she still cold? It wasn't that cold inside, and she also had his jacket which was basically a blanket to her.

'Weird,' he thought dropping the subject.

Walking down the hall he made sure to be as gentle as possible. Unlike Ren or Nora he was pretty sure Ruby wasn't like that, and he knew that getting hit in the head wasn't the best way to wake up.

Taking a couple of more steps he turned the hall… only to be met face to face with an older… 'Jaune?'

"What are you doing with my daughter?" the older looking Jaune asked with a hint of rage behind it.

Dread washed over him as sweat poured down his head, "Uhhhh…", looking at the man he had his hands crossed over his chest with narrowed eyes, "Bringing her to bed?"

"Excuse me?"

"You know like putting her in a more comfortable spot than the floor, dattebayo?"

"Did you just insult me?"

Is this what slang was nowadays? Dattebayo?

"What!" he yelled only to feel Ruby stir a little in his arms. Composing himself a sheepish smile sprouted from his lips, "Sorry just wanted to do something nice since she… well did my clothing-"

"Are you taking advantage of my daughter?" he asked with a dangerous edge in his tone.

Once more his jaw dropped open as his eyes widen in surprise,"Uhhh… what?"

"What are your hobbies?"

Perplexed by the olders blond question he closed his hanging mouth before raising a brow, "Pranking and watering plants."

"School grades?"

"Barely passing."

"Track record?"

"Ok?" the hell did he mean by track record? A shinobi track record? Cause his wasn't all that impressive.

Taiyang looked the kid before him. He was looking at him as if he had a second head, and he couldn't blame him. If his daughter was going to go after boys he sure as hell was going to get a good idea of who that blessed person was.

"Good enough." he spoke with a small smile, "Taiyang Xiao-Long, Ruby and Yang's dad. Nice to meet ya!"

"Uh… Naruto Uzumaki," he replied with a nervous smile. Even though he seemed friendly he could tell there was a subliminal message that he clearly received.

If you hurt one of them I will hunt you to the end of the world.

All of a sudden he kinda prefered Tsunade punching him through the door. Or the wall for that matter.

"Now if you'll let me take Ruby i'll show you to your room."

Giving the man a slow nod he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Gently passing the short girl over he couldn't help but frown. The warm sensation her body generated onto him had dispersed and had left him feeling as if a ghost passed through him.

"Thank you~" the older man spoke with a smile. Turning his back on the whiskered teen he made his way further down the hallway before entering Ruby and Yang's shared room.

Bump

Only for Ruby's head to hit the doorframe…

Letting out a nervous chuckle Taiyang turned to look at the somewhat worried teen, "We never speak of this."

Slowly nodding he looked at the man strangely.

Does everyone here become a rock when they go to sleep?

Waiting for the older man to come out of the room he couldn't help but shuffle his legs nervously. Fidgeting with his fingers he looked down at the wooden floor. Why the hell was he so nervous?

Click

Glancing up he found Ruby's dad ever so gently moving the door knob. A smile on his lips as he shook his head slightly.

Looking up his blue eyes met Naruto's own. His smile slightly faltered, but quickly maintained it when he approached the younger blond.

"Follow me," he spoke while passing him.

Turning his head he watched Taiyangs retreating form as he turned the corner. Processing that he wasn't in his line of sight he stumbled a bit forward in an attempt to catch up to the man. Lightly jogging down the hall he slowed his pace as he placed himself a respectable distance away from the stubbled man.

Seeing the man stop in front of the laundry machine he raised a brow.

"Are we getting pillows or something?"

"Nope!"

His answer only seemed to raise the brow further.

"Sheets?"

Once more a shake of the man's head.

Cupping his chin he entered a thinking position, ignoring whatever the man was doing.

'Let's see… always look underneath the underneath. Hmmmm, why would take me to the laundry machine?' Glancing up at the man he held a pillow that seemingly came out of nowhere, 'Think Naruto, think!' he thought to himself as every possible muscle scrunched onto his face. A slow sweat drop made its way down the whiskered teens forehead before sliding down his nose. His lips were in that of a fish's lips as he gritted his teeth together.

"What in the nine hells are you doing?" Taiyang asked with nothing but disgust, "Are you constipated?"

"Huh? No i'm thinking."

"..."

"Say what's co-constiplated?

"..."

"Uh… sir?"

"Get the hell in that bed or I swear I will throw you at that window right now."

Sweating a little he let out a nervous laugh with his eyes shrinking in fear.

"3…"

"Wait! I don't even kn-"

"2…"

Without even giving it a second thought he ran passed the man before jumping on top of the laundry machines. Slamming the closet door shut he laid his body down only for his head to hit the wall.

"Ow!" he yelped while rubbing the back of his head.

Looking around the tight room he would have to go fetal position tonight. Either that or sleep sitting up, which was a big no for him. Patting the top of the laundry machine it was a good thing set up something that would comfort him.

Although it was small it was nice.

'Better than the streets…' he thought to himself.

The time he had to sleep outside during those cold cruel nights were not good ones.

By the mere age of five he was kicked out of the orphanage onto the streets. While he wasn't out long due to Jiji's random checkups, it was still enough to make anything that had four walls and a roof cozy.

'No complaints here.'

Shutting his eyes a peaceful smile graced his lips as he used his arm as a pillow. His wild blond hair laid itself out only giving it a more spiky appearance. Taking in a deep breath of air he held it before letting out a long exhale.

He was happy that he had friends to go to the festival with…

/

The suns rays shone on the island of Patch. It's orangey haze showing the first signs of morning to its inhabitants. On the outskirts on a long beaten path two people walked on it. Their unusual attire gave them curious looks on the few people they passed, but they both simply responded to it with a smile.

"You sure this is the right way Senpai?"

"Unless Naruto dropped his scroll somewhere than yes."

"Would you put it past him if he did?"

"..."

The one-eyed sharingan user stopped in his tracks.

"Senpai?"

Not answering his subordinate he pulled out his scroll before glancing over the limited contacts he had on his device. That being Ozpin, Yamato, and of course Naruto under "Blond Knucklehead".

Clicking his scroll once more he saw a black square on the top right corner, as three little dots moved in a circle in the middle with the word "Calling…" under it.

They stood there for a good minute before it finally connected revealing a close up of a silver eye.

'Ruby girl. Kakashi thought identifying the eyes holder from the trait

"Hello?" the feminine voice asked.

Sharing a look with Yamato just what exactly had Naruto done with his scroll.

"Yo," he replied lazily.

"Ruby, who is it!" a voice called out from the background.

"It's some random number!" she yelled out turning towards her sister, replacing the screen image from her silver eyes to her gradient hair.

Once more sharing a blank look the two Konoha nin couldn't help but sweatdrop.

"Oh… ask them why they're calling, they're probably scammers."

"Ok!", turning her head she displayed her silver eye once more causing it to take up the whole screen, "Why are you guys calling, you're not scammers are you?"

"Senpai your finger is covering the camera," Yamato pointed out.

"Oh? Thank you Yamato," he replied moving his finger.

The silver eye widened proportionally as Ruby finally backed her head away showing her surprised expression. Her jaw dropped as she constantly averted her eyes in an attempt to not look at the scroll.

"We're chaperones from the school, and we only had Naru-"

"I-i'm sorry!"

'What?' the two nin thought while raising an eyebrow.

"I-uhdidn'tmeantoassumeyouguysarescammercauseyou'renotandwell," pausing to take a breath she pointed her the camera towards a blond haired girl who was eating ice cream, "Yang told me!"

"Hey! Don't put the blame on me! Not my fault those guys don't know how to scam."

"Yang they're our chaperones!"

"..."

"..."

"RUBY! HANG UP!"

The last thing they saw was the gradient haired girl look at the screen worriedly with a sweat before the screen went dark.

Letting out a sigh he rubbed his hair.

'And here I thought kids were a bigger pain to deal with.'

At least it's safe to assume Naruto's with them.

Hopefully.

/

"YANG!"

"RUBY!"

"WHAT DO WE DO! IDIDN'TKNOWTHOSETWOWORKEDATTHESCHOOL!" Ruby cried, wailing her arms to the side, "WHATIFIGETSUSPENDEDANDTHANANDTHAN-"

"RUBY!"

"WHAT!"

"CALM DOWN!"

"I'M PERFECTLY CALM!" shutting her eyes she took a deep breath before slowly letting it out, "SEE!"

Face palming she shook her head at her sisters antics.

"Ok, ok," Yang started with her hands in front of her, "Just listen to this," seeing Ruby shut her mouth and give her, her undivided attention brought a small smirk on the blond, "Ok so, we simply tell them we were Yanging around, eh, eh?"

"..."

"Eh?"

Blinking a couple of times she gave her sister a disappointed look, "We're going to get expelled…" she mumbled to herself.

Rolling her eyes Yang gave her sister a blank look, "Really? Expel us for what? Calling some old dudes scammers."

"They're our teach-"

"That's besides the point. The point being worst case scenario we might get a lecture out of one of them, and sure if they do somehow work at Beacon than it's no biggie. Everyone has at least one or two teachers that didn't like them."

"Actually-"

"Everyone,"

Gulping a little she gave Yang a hesitant nod, "Yep, e-everyone!"

Off in the kitchen sat the W and the B who looked upon the two sisters in confusion.

"Are we going to question that?" Blake asked giving the Schnee heiress a glance.

"In the words of those two's father, 'Nope'!" Weiss answered taking a sip of her coffee.

Letting out a sigh she had to agree. It was a rather wise word when it came to their everyday life.

Looking around the cat faunus had to admit the house was rather lively. With Ruby panicking over not making a good impression with a teacher, and Yang trying her best to calm her down. Of course there was also the other team that resided with them, and from what she knew everyone, including the P, was out like a light. Which was kinda surprising, to find out about the warrior.

She knew Naruto was in the house somewhere. In fact she hadn't seen the blond until…

'His semblance is like mine… neet.' she thought while taking a sip out of her milk.

"You know," Weiss started, "Aren't most cats lactose intolerant? So wouldn't that make yo-"

"Weiss," Blake started with a blank tone, "don't be a nerd."

"I'm just saying it's interesting ho-" her blue eyes met Blakes, averting her gaze she looked at her own drink, "I'll shut up now."

A silence fell over the two as they looked at their other two teammates who were doing god knows what.

"You eat to much tuna for a cat."

The two once more met eye contact.

"..."

"What? All i'm saying is not a lot of people know that to much tuna is bad fo-"

Seeing Blakes unmoving eyes she had to say it was impressive how she still didn't blink yet.

"Blake?"

Nothing.

"I'll… actually shut up now."

Giving the faunus a side glance the Schnee heir was somewhat relieved when she saw Blake return to her milk. It wasn't her fault she was trying to look out for her teammates!

Taking a sip of her coffee the two resumed watching the trivial quarrel their two teammates were having.

"I don't understand why you're still freaking out about this?"

"I'm not! I'm just-"

"Freaking out about not making the best first impression."

"First impressions are important!"

Giving her sister a deadpan she couldn't be serious.

"You know you literally blew up Weiss the first time you met her right?"

"Yeah but-"

"And got sent to the police station by the first time you met her."

"Sure-"

"Weiss," she called out getting the heiress attention, "What was your first impression of Ruby?"

Looking at her team captain she paused for a moment before giving Yang a blank look, "No comment."

"Aha! See!" Ruby yelled out pointing a finger at Weiss while balling up her other hand in front of her, "First impressions do matter!"

"Why do you even care so much about this?"

Her mouth dropped a little as a blush slowly started forming on her cheeks. Looking at anything that wasn't Yang, "Y-you know…"

"I don't," she answered crossing her arms under her bust, "So please tell me, what am I supposed to know?"

"To be a good student and respect your superiors?" she answer meekly.

"Both of us know that's a lie."

"Whattttt, pshhh, noooooo,"

"Ruby on the first day of school you literally goofed around through all of Port's class."

"She even fell asleep!" Weiss called out putting her two cents in.

"Not helping!" Ruby yelled back only for Weiss to shrug.

Looking over her younger sister she couldn't help but wonder just why she was acting up. She knew this whole fiasco of, 'Oh I want to make a good first impression to show them I can handle being two years behind' was complete bs. While she did sometimes struggle when it came to the start of the year, she proved that she could handle it.

Hell, she had better grades than her.

So why would she be worrying about some, from what she assumed to be greenies. They probably just got lucky, or Beacon was giving them a try. I mean the guys didn't even have their own room, they shared a room with…

"Naruto…" she spoke in realization.

"Huh?"

Looking at her sister she felt nothing but pride!

"You sly little rose, I see your game," she spoke putting her arms on her hips while giving her a wink.

"W-what?"

"Oh Ruby~ how far you've come."

Her sister's face started to match the color of her name as she buried her face in the collar of Naruto's jacket.

"Aw, you're already wearing his clothes~" she teased, pinching Ruby's nose.

Her face only seemed to redden even further as any attempt to hide the blushing mess was virtually impossible. No matter how much she buried her face into the collar she knew Yang would hold this over her head for the longest.

In all honesty she was surprised herself when she had woken up in the orange jacket. The fact that it was a makeshift blanket for her also added a bonus, thus the reason it was still draped around her.

Plus is smelled nice.

Really nice.

Of course any and all conversation was shortly cut off by the sound of the front door opening. With all of their attention on it, Ruby was somewhat relieved to see her father enter carrying bags of groceries with Zwei next to him.

"I'm home!" he yelled out with a smile before spotting his two daughters. Giving them a somewhat mischievous look he let out a small chuckle, "To think you guys would follow in my footsteps."

'What?' the two thought.

"Like seriously!" Taiyang continued, "I did the exact same thing,"

"W-what thing?" Ruby asked a bit frightened of the answer.

However she answered it herself when she looked over her father's shoulder. The blood in her face immediately drained from her once ruby colored cheeks.

"Ditching the school chaperones of course!"

"Yo!"


Yeahhhhh so it's been a while. I'm going to be honest I had this chapter done last month and completely forgot about it until I saw that I had 8 chapters posted on here instead of 9. But yes I am still alive in case anyone was wondering. I want to thank Drag0n5s0n once again for helping me out on this chapter, and something else i've been working on with his guidance. He has some really amazing stories out there, which I personally fell in love with after reading the first chapter. Alright so I feel like I should get to the bad news now. I'm currently going to put this story on hold, since i'm working on another story that I love writing. Not that I don't love this one, but I feel as though this idea is unoriginal and has been done way to many times. I somewhat agree with him due to having seen similar stories like this, but i'm always someone who believes that every story has something different to offer. Hopefully i've been successful at doing that for you guys :). But yeah, I love this piece as much as I love my other one despite not updating it in months. Hopefully you guys understand my decision on this, and i'm deeply sorry for those of you who are displeased about this. I'll see you guys whenever my new story comes out, and if you want to know a bit about it than feel free to PM me! I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys left a review. Anyways, thanks for reading! :)
