Hope you don't mind the grammar issues and other things, aint looking to write professionally, just wanted to write a story that I hope some people can enjoy, and thank you all who still read this despite the loooooong updates.

Mission 4

"So now that you are all back from the "Pizza Night" we need to discuss the little devil in the room" Vergil stated. After a very eventful pizza night with team RWBY and JNPR the guys and gals returned to their respective forms to sleep for the night. The rest of team DVVN returned to their room as well meeting Vergil who had been waiting for their arrival.

"Geez you didn't have to hit me though" Dante groaned from his chosen bed rubbing his head. The first thing Vergil did upon Dante entering the room was thrust the hilt of his sword into Dante's gut, then proceeded to bonk him on the head before retrieving his wallet.

"Told ya you would regret it" Nero chuckled from his own bed. He always enjoyed seeing his cocky brother get hurt. Seeing him getting taken down a peg was always amusing.

"As much as I enjoy this sibling bonding, I believe you all wanted to hear something from me, yes?" V spoke. He closed his book turning his attention to the Sparda brothers.

"Yea bro and let's start with the first one, how do you know about Sparda" Dante asked. He and their brothers pay special attention to not blow the beans about who they really are, it's better to fit in if they didn't know you were the devils spawn.

"Well I guess I'll start from my origins, I was raised outside of Vale by my mother and a coven of witches". The Sparda boys looked shocked, witches are very few and in between, practically as rare as half devils.

"Witches don't exist, I know this for a fact. Our father wiped them out ages ago" Vergil said.

"That is true, but as you know, Sparda was known to those who knew him for his great compassion" V smiled.

"Wait so our father really wiped out all those people" Nero stated sadly. Dante put a hand on Nero's shoulder, the kid would never admit it but he was a lot more empathetic than him and Vergil. V smiled as he saw Nero must have felt bad about what he had told him.

"It's fine young Nero, your father was like any other demon. But eventually he found compassion, he spared my ancestors and that's how I am here now. He was only following orders" V said.

"So you were brought up by witches, that explains your knowledge of our father. Now explain those demons" Vergil said. His story was sound so far, but how he was able to use those demons to fight for him didn't make any sense.

"Ah yes, Shadow and Griffon. I wasn't lying when I said they were a part of my life since I was a kid." V stated.

"Witches excel at magic, but I did not share my mothers affinity for magic. I do have magic obviously, but not like my mother. So she thought to arm me with demons that would protect me" V said.

"Ok so your mommy decided to get you bodyguards, I can definitely see why" Dante joked. V was built like a toothpick and didn't look like he did much physical work.

"How did you make them agree to this arrangement" Vergil asked.

"Simple" V smiled. "A bargain"

"So what did you offer?" Vergil asked. Bargaining with demons never ended well.

"Saved them from a lifetime of suffering from Mundus" V said. The second V stated that name, Vergil and Dante's blood ran cold. Nero looked at both Dante and Vergil surprised at the looks on their faces. It takes a lot to get them both like this, he wondered what V said to cause them like this.

"Who's Mundus?" Nero asked confused.

"No need to worry about that, the bastard's dead anyway" Dante said. It was times like this when Vergil and Dante really looked twins, both had the same angry expression on their face.

"So how did a witch save two demons from Mundus?" Vergil asked.

"That's the strange part, those two are not sure themselves, a certain demon had offered them up to us. Why he did this, we do not know till this day. They have been my lifelong companions for me, so I hope you can tolerate them at least" V said.

"There's more i want to know but I know you wouldn't reveal everything" Vergil stated glaring at V.

"You'd be correct on that assumption" V said chuckling. "We all have our little secrets do we not. Don't worry though, I'm only here to help. I promise you that. '' There was a calm silence in the room, the brothers contemplating what they heard before Nero decided to speak up.

"V, you still seem kind of weird. But I trust you, for now. We're stuck together so might as well make the best of it" Nero he held out his fist to V. V smiled at Nero and bumped his fist against his.

"Welp no use worrying over it, story sounds legit. Just keep the talking chicken in order and everything will be fine. Now if you'll excuse me, I need my beauty sleep". Dante nodded to V who nodded back before flopping down in his bed.

"Betray us, and we will cut you down" Vergil stated. He gave V one last glare before retreating to his bed to rest for the night.

"I wouldn't think otherwise" V chuckled. He had his reasons but the sons of Sparda would see that he's only here for their benefit. For now they would have to wait and see.

Line Break

"Nero, you sure we shouldn't wake your brother?" V asked looking at Dante's sleeping form. It wouldn't be good to be late on the first day of class.

"I see Vergil has already left" V said taking notice of the neatly made bed.

"Vergil wakes up at ungodly hours" Nero said. He was currently trying to tie gauze on to his devil bringer. The cast he used from yesterday was starting to stink and he did not want to use that. "He ain't human waking up so early" Nero joked. V chuckled at the irony of that joke as he watched his partner continue to struggle with this devil bringer.

"So you always cover your devil bringer in gauze and a cast?" V asked leaning on his cane.

"Yea, or else people will freak" Nero said.

"Here, I can make this easier for you". V cupped his hands together. He concentrated on his hands and started whispering what Nero guessed where incantations. His eyes turned pitch black as he did this before returning to normal. Black misst arise from his cupped hands. He brought his hands out the mist forming into what looked like a long glove. Nero saw that V had made him a long glove.

"Here, this should help keep that arm hidden" V said handing the glove to Nero.

"Thanks but I tried that and the spikey bits usually break em". Nero wagged his fingers emphasizing his claws.

"Do not worry, these gloves are not normal clothing material. It's a basic spell that was taught to me at a young age. No need for any material either, very convenient. My clothes are made of the same thing. Unless you're seriously fighting some extreme demon, you'll be fine" V explained. Nero tried the glove on, flexing and moving his arm. It was long enough to hide his arm and matched with his clothes. He gave V a smirk before trying to break the glove with his claws, and just like he said, it didn't tear at all.

"Thanks for this V, I appreciate it.''

"No problem, I suggest we get to class though, we will be late if we're not careful" V stated leaving out the door. Nero messed with glove some more before taking his leave as well. Before he left he stopped at the door and looked back at Dante sleeping form. The young man smirked mischievously, looks like he had a plan in mind. He went to his side of the room and grabbed Dante's alarm and set the time for 20 min instead of the alotted 5 min. He also turned the volume all the way up and placed the alarm right by his ear. He smirked once more before leaving out the door with V.

Line Break

Nero and V walked into their first class of the day which was with professor Port who taught Grimm studies. Nero sighed, he hated Grimm studies and dreaded the thought of it. As they walked in they saw a variety of students in the big auditorium room, he spotted Vergil in the middle most left of the room all by his lonesome. He couldn't help but smirk at that, he really did not like being around other people, not that Nero could talk but he could tolerate it. He looked down and spotted Team RWBY and JNPR in the middle of the room talking to each other. Nero took note of Ruby particularly as she was happily talking to Pyrah. He thought about going down there and saying something but he thought better of it and decided to just take a seat. V noticed his reluctance and smiled, seemed someone was a bit shy.

"Not going to greet our fellow classmates?" V asked.

"It's fine, I'll see them on-". Nero would have continued had he not heard his name blurred out by a certain girl in red.

"Nero! Hey!" Ruby waved at him. The two teams looked back at Nero and V. Nero inwardly groaned, now he had all their attention. "I saved you a seat!". Ruby patted the seat right next to her adamantly.

"It seems Ms. Rose has decided for you, it'd be best not to disappoint her" V mused knowingly. He moved his hand forward offering Nero to go first, Nero glared at V as moved forward to sit by Ruby. The two teams greeted him with Nero nodding back acknowledging them before sitting next to the hyperactive girl. V walked towards an open seat near Blake.

"May I?" He asked Blake. She nodded giving him the go ahead as he took his seat to get ready for class.

"For a second there I thought you were gonna be late". Ruby smiled at the boy as she took her notebook out.

"Thanks, you didn't need to save me a seat. There's plenty in the room" Nero stated.

"I know but sitting in the front is better don't you think". The young girl giggled.

"Yea but I heard this guy is a bore fest" Nero said groaning a bit.

"Aw, I don't think it'll be that bad. I'm not the biggest fan of Grimm studies but I'm sure he will be great!".

"Let's hope so" Nero muttered. Ruby couldn't help but giggle at that. As she looked around the room she took notice that someone was missing from his team, where was Dante?

"Hey Nero where's your brother?" Ruby asked. This question had actually caught the attention of the rest of the teens as they realized they hadn't seen him

"Hmmm, Vergil is right there" he pointed to the left most part of the room.

"Not Vergil, we already saw him when we walked in." Yang said.

"Yea we tried to say hi but it seemed like he didn't want to be bothered" Jaune said remembering his split second decision to not greet the boy. Vergil's whole demeanor rubbed him the wrong way.

"We don't need to greet someone like that" Weiss harrumphed.

"Dude is totally not fun" Yang added. Blake chose not to comment as she could understand wanting to be by one's self, but she also knew to be wary of him.

"Aww c'mon guys, he's not that bad! He saved me during the exam" Ruby said defending him.

"That's only cause you were in his way" Weiss stated.

"What! He saved you as well!".

"More like he looked up too late". Yang snickered remembering that moment. Weiss sent daggers to Yang before turning away.

"So Nero, where's Cassanova?" Yang asked.

"He'll get here when he gets here" Nero smirked. Yang was gonna say more until she saw the professor walk into the classroom.

"Welp, let class begin" Nero stated dryly.

LINE BREAK

"Ah that reminds me of myself in the younger days, I was sprightly young man back then". Professor port had begun teaching as per usual, until he started recollecting on his days as a Hunter. It seemed it had put most of the students to sleep and others not paying attention. Team JNPR had two asleep, one trying to pay attention and the other happily listening. Nora and Jaune had both fallen asleep, Ren was trying his best to stay up and Pyrah had actually been interested in hearing Professor Port's tales. Team RWBY on the other hand, Blake had stopped listening and was now reading her novel, Yang had been lulling out of sleep and staying awake, Ruby was drawing happily in her notebook and Weiss was trying her best to listen intently to the professor, but even she had to admit it was boring. Now to Team DVVN, well without the D. Nero was asleep, one hand holding his head, eyes closed, V has focused on playing around with his nails to date of his borderm, and Vergil had his eyes closed not paying attention to anything around him.

"Ugh how long can this go on" Weiss murmured. She looked to the side and noticed that Ruby was diligently taking notes. She was surprised, maybe there was hope for her after all.

"Hey Weiss" Ruby whispered. Weiss looked to Ruby wondering what she needed her for. Ruby showed her notebook to Weiss. What Weiss thought were notes was actually a crude drawing of her and Weiss holding hands in a flower patch. She could not believe that she actually thought Ruby was changing. She scoffed and focused her attention back on professor Port. Ruby looked away dejectly and sighed looking forward, she guessed Weiss wasn't much for art.

"Anyway, enough rambling about my times as a lad, I say it's best to get some on field experience, so who would like-". Before the professor could finish Weiss had immediately raised her hand furiously.

"I can do it professor!". Her sudden call out had woken up Nero and Yang with Nero looking around to make sure the professor didn't see him asleep with the latter eyes wide fearful of being caught.

"Wonderful! Such determination! Step forward Miss. Schnee, a true Hunter always jumps first. '' Professor Port motioned her to stand across the room. He walked over and revealed the cloaked box he had in the class earlier revealing a Grimm. This surprised some of the students, they thought it was gonna be some kind of dummy, not an actual live Grimm.

"Should we be conducting something like this in a classroom?" V questioned.

"I don't know, but sure beats listening to him talk" Yang responded back.

"Go Weiss!" She yelled cheering for her teammate.

"Fight well" Blake commented.

"Kick it's butt!" Ruby cheered as well.

"Quiet Ruby! I need to concentrate" Weiss yelled getting more and more annoyed by the minute. Nero narrowed his eyes at Weiss, Yang and Blake had cheered for her too but her anger was only directed towards Ruby.

"The mighty Boarbatusk, small but a fast agile Grimm with good defense. They lack stability which is their downfall and puts them lower on the list of threats. Are you ready ?" Professor Port asked the young heiress. She nodded in confirmation and Port let the beast out of its cage. The Boarbatusk charged at Weiss quickly, the girl side stepped and swiped at the Grimm causing it grunt in pain as she put distance between herself and the Grimm.

"Good work " Professor Port commented. The Boarbatusk charged at Weiss again but it yielded the same result as Weiss dodged once more and swiped twice at its hide. The Grimm made a grunt of pain again but it did not seem to slow it down at all. It just kept on coming at Weiss which she was not prepared for at all. This along with the constant noise from her classmates caused a lapse in judgement as the Grimm found an opening and bit down on Weiss's weapon. The girl tried to pull back but the Grimm wasn't budging.

"Hmmm, that's new. See students, the Grimm are not to be toyed with. They too can improvise if need be" Professor port informed his students.

"Weiss, it's weak spot is under the belly. Go for that!" Ruby yelled in hope it would help her.

"Stop telling me what to do!' she yelled back. The Boarbatusk saw another opportunity as Weiss had put her focus on Ruby instead and took her weapon away and threw it behind it.

"Hmmm it seems you now have no weapon, what will you do now ?" Professor said aloud. Vergil smirked in amusement at Weiss's situation, he was able to pick up on her anger and saw it was directed at Ruby. He could not believe her childish aggression, it seemed she was still angry about not being picked as leader.

"Stubborn princess" Vergil mused. V had looked on the fight worryingly. He too had seen a lot of Weiss's anger being directed at Ruby. He looked towards Ruby and saw the dejected look upon her face, it seemed those two still had something to work out.

"Great just great" Weiss fumed. The Boarbatusk charged at Weiss again, knowing she'd be defenseless without her weapon. Weiss waited for just the right moment, she wasn't entirely defenseless. She jumped up dodging the Grimm and summoned a sigil behind her pushing her forward to retrieve her weapon. She stood at attention, poised, waiting for the Grimm to charge at her again. She would not be embarrassed a second time. The Grimm charged at Weiss as expected, this time Weiss knew exactly how to end this fight, right before the Grimm could hit her, she summoned a glyph blocking it's attack. The grim stumbled back and fell back exposing it's under belly. Weiss jumped up and flipped before coming down and impaling the monster's belly. She cooly withdrew and sighed seeing she was done.

"Excellent work , truly the work of a top huntress in training. Learn from her example students" Professor Port wanted to say more but the bell had rung signaling the end of the period.

"Welp seems that all the time we have, make sure to study up and do the assigned homework, we will be having a quiz on this all next class, you are all dismissed". Weiss quickly made her way up ignoring Ruby as she went to leave.

"Weiss wait up!" Ruby called as she was leaving. "What's your deal!?" Ruby asked honestly frustrated with her attitude. She has been trying to be friends with her since the start but it was seemingly impossible with the way she was acting. She quickly turned around startling Ruby, her face full of anger and frustration.

"You! Your my deal!" Weiss shouted. Most of team RWBY, JNPR, and half of DVVN had looked on at Weiss's shout.

"Me! What did i do!?" Ruby exclaimed.

"Ozpin should have never made you leader! Your immature, not focused, and too childish. It should have been me, following you will lead to nothing but trouble" Weiss said. Ruby could not believe the words that came out of her mouth. With that said she left leaving a shocked Ruby.

"Jeez what's her problem" Dante said sitting beside Nero.

"I don't know, but she's really starting too-". Nero stopped mid speech as he stared back at his brother who was still looking to the downtrodden Ruby. The other teams look down in shock, they hadn't even see him enter.

"What the heck, when did you get here?" Nero said.

"Dante what the hell?" Yang asked. "Did anyone see him enter?". The rest had shaked their heads signaling they did not.

'Your just as sneaky as your brother, seems Vergil gave us the slip as well" V stated.

"When did you even enter the room?" Jaune asked.

"During the fight, if I had known the class was gonna be this entertaining, i would have gotten here earlier. Speaking of early, nice trick with the alarm" Dante grumbled the last part. Nero smirked at his older brother knowing full well what he did.

"Maybe you should wake up earlier" he joked.

"Whatever, she gonna be ok?" Dante asked looking at Yang.

"I don't know, but this is something she's gonna have to deal with on her own" Yang said. The rest of them looked at Yang in surprise. Everyone knew Yang was protective of Ruby, so it came as a surprise that she would stay out of it.

"So you just gonna let Weiss get away with that! Im gonna go-"

"No! Don't help Ruby!" she said adamantly. "I may be protective of her, but she is also my leader. This is something she must figure out herself. Besides if I did help, i'm pretty sure id make things worse anyway" she chuckled.

"But-".

"How mature of you" V stated getting up. "This is the burden of a leader, Ms. Rose must figure this out on her own afterall". He nodded to the rest, his gaze lingering on Blake just a bit longer before leaving for his room. Nero sighed, he knew they were right, but seeing her sad never sat right with him.

"Don't worry kid, she'll be fine" Dante said.

"Yea thanks for worrying about Ruby though, glad to know she has someone else looking out for her, and it doesn't hurt he's a cutie as well" Yang winked. Nero scoffed and turned away blushing. He packed his stuff and made to leave.

"Aww you scared him" Dante chuckled.

"And you! Can't believe you just sneaked in here, class was almost over so why'd you even come?" Yang asked crossing her arms.

"Can't miss the first day, even if I only caught the last 15 minutes" he laughed.

"Fair enough" Yang chuckled. Nero tuned out their chatting as he made to move, he stopped as he looked to Ruby leaving. He knew he couldn't interfere but he didn't want to leave without at least saying something. He walked up to Ruby and tapped her shoulder.

"O-oh hey Nero, whats up" she said trying her best to put on a smile.

"I gotta go but listen, I think your gonna do great. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise ok". Before Ruby could even respond to Nero he had left in a hurry. Didn't want Yang and Dante to catch him talking.

"Thanks Nero" she mumbled happily. She sighed and decided she would think about this later, she still had a whole day of classes left. Hopefully she can fix her problem before the day ends.

Line Break

"Finally I never thought i'd be out of there!" Dante yelled happy. Ruby and Jaune laughed at his behavior as they had just gotten out of their leadership class with .

"I mean, why the hell do we have an extra class" Dante complained. "Besides, Goodwitch had it for me the entire class period!".

"Well you were falling asleep" Jaune countered. Dante was about to counter that until Ruby spoke up as well.

"You also tried to hit on her 4 days ago" Ruby added.

"Ok fine that may be true" he added pointing a finger at both. "But she doesn't have to be such a b-"

"Such a what Mr. Redgrave?" Ms Goodwitch said from behind Dante. He jumped and immediately hid behind Ruby, which didn't do much considering the size difference.

"H-Hey " he nervously said. "Great lesson you taught, i learned a lot". He was still behind Ruby which the young girl found funny, nobody wants to invoke the wrath of .

"I'm glad to hear that, it only took me 2 whacks to get you to pay attention". She lightly tapped her riding crop against her hand as she said that. Inducing more fear into the young devil hunter. "But what were you going to say before I got here".

"Oh um, that you are the loveliest woman i had ever had the pleasure of learning from" he smiled, not convingvily mind you. Ruby couldn't help but roll her eyes, seems Dante excels at digging his own grave. Jaune shook his head, it was a good attempt but he was still a dead man. Though unexpectedly, Ms Goodwitch had actually smiled at his comment. Ruby's eyes widened like saucers, Jaune's mouth gaped wide. Dante himself rose to his full height from Ruby's back astonished as well, had he finally cracked her outer shell.

"Cute" she said, before grabbing Dante by the ear and dragging him away from Ruby.

"Ow ow ow" He yelped.

"Did you forget about the extra lessons you have with me". She dragged Dante away from Jaune and Ruby. The two gave silent prayers for the young man.

"So Ruby, what are you doing after this?" Jaune asked.

"Probably go back to my ro-" she stopped as she realized Weiss would probably be there. She would have to confront her eventually ...but she didn't have to do it now.

"Actually, I think I'm just gonna go for a walk. I'll catch you later Jaune". She waved goodbye to the young man as they both went their separate ways. She wasn't sure where to go at the moment. She walked out onto one of the many balconies the school had. The view was beautiful from up here. It's only been the first day but she knew her time here was going to be great…...but she had some obstacles along the way.

"Why do you have to be so against me Weiss ...i just want to be friends". Ruby sighed and made to turn to go back to her room. She bumped into what felt like a human body. She looked up and saw it was Vergil. She wasn't expecting to see him up here. He still had the same glare on his face but Ruby quickly learned that this was Vergil's neutral face, he was neither angry or happy with you, just looked mean.

"Vergil! Sorry!" Ruby squeaked embarrassed.

"Its fine, just pay attention to your surroundings. You must be aware, especially given your leadership position" Vergil said striding past her. Ruby know he didn't mean it, in his own way it was advice but it still hurt. She looked back at Vergil and thought back to when their team got formed. Vergil wasn't announced leader of his team as well. She didn't even know if he cared about it, she could never tell with his stoic face, but he definitely seems more ...put together than Dante is.

"Maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask?" Ruby mumbled.

"Hey Vergil?" Ruby said walking up to the older twin.

"What girl? You're disturbing my peace" he said not looking at Ruby.

"Are you…..fine with Dante being your leader?" she asked. Vergil raised his eyebrow and turned his head towards Ruby.

"And why would you want to know that?" he asked, curious.

"Well ...as some of my team have said, Dante doesn't really seem the leader type, but you haven't really cared that he was chosen" Ruby stated.

"Where is this coming from?" Vergil asked. He didn't know why he was entertaining the idea of listening to this girl, but she was asking curious questions. Besides, she would sate his boredom at the least.

"Well Weiss doesnt think im a good leader. She says im childish and don't take everything seriously. She thinks Ozpin made a mistake and im starting to think that maybe she was right". She looked down downcast

"Well that's foolish, im not surprised that girl would say something like that. It's only been a couple days, your worth as a leader cannot be measured when you haven't even been tested". Ruby looked up surprised. Vergil had actually ...made a good point.

"Have more confidence in yourself. You were chosen for a reason".

"As for Dante, you are correct in your assumption. He's a buffon who's greatest strength is devouring pizza boxes in minutes". Ruby chuckled a bit, it was a mock at Dante but it was still pretty funny, considering that's exactly what he did at their pizza night.

"But let me ask you girl. Do you really think I'd be suited to lead anyone?" he asked looking directly at Ruby.

"I mean, you seem like the super serious type. Isn't that how most leaders are?" she asked. He narrowed his eyes at the girl for that comment but chose to ignore it.

"I may not be my brother, but i'm also not someone who would find the patience to lead a group. Being a leader is more than just how seriously someone takes the job, or their intelligence believe it or not". Ruby giggled at Vergil, he seems to have a certain dry humor, well at least when it came to insulting Dante.

"Don't ever tell him I said this, but Dante has a certain something that makes people want to follow him. He cares about the people around, he's not the type to leave you to fend for yourself...me on the other hand, if you don't keep up, then you will be left behind". Ruby was surprised, he never heard Vergil say anything nice about Dante.

"Wow, I never thought about it like that, i guess there is more to being a leader than I thought" Ruby said.

"But the Schnee girl is right about one thing. Your are now a leader, things are expected of you, and you must follow through with those expectations. Don't show weakness or let others prove you wrong, your capable of great things. That's why Ozpin picked you, and that's why you must succeed. Dont let down your team. '' Ruby nodded understanding, it was a bit harsh, but it was the truth. Sure she's not your conventional leader, but that doesn't mean she won't take things seriously, she just had to let Weiss know that.

"Now run along, i need my peace. And remember, keep what we said between us" he emphasized the last part. Ruby nodded firmly getting the message, she turned around to go back to her room to talk with Weiss, but stopped and ran back to Vergil.

"Hey Vergil" Ruby said. Vergil looked down at her, wondering what the girl wanted.

"What n-" he was abruptly cut off by Ruby's fast embrace. He looked down baffled, confused, and a bit miffed. He let his guard down, but at the same time, he had to applaud how fast the girl was. He doesn't like close contact, but he decided to let the girl have her moment, he wouldn't admit it, but…..she was somewhat adorable.

"Thank you, Vergil. Your not as bad as everyone makes you out to be. '' He placed his hand on Ruby and gently shoved the girl off. She waved bye and ran off to her room. He shook his head as he saw her go.

"Im getting soft" he grumbled.

"Can't blame you, she's an adorable girl". Vergil turned his head to the voice that called out and saw Ozpin standing at the door.

"How long have you been there?" Vergil asked.

"Long enough to hear tidbits, didn't take you for motivational speaker" Ozpin chuckled.

"Well, she needed to realize her position, especially when someone like the Schnee girl was questioning it".

"Well i thank you for speaking to her, she has a lot of potential, just needs that little push" Ozpin said.

"Is that why you allowed her into the school, she's exceptional for her age, but I know she plays an important part in your plans Ozpin. Were all just chess pieces in your game aren't we?" Vergil mused. Ozpin merely sipped his coffee and stepped closer to the platform looking over the school.

"Yes, you all play an important part, but not in a game, but rather in the survival and the advancement of our world. Even i am a pawn trying to play my part, and do you know what that part is Vergil?" Ozpin said staring back at the young man. Vergil only continued to look at him, wondering where he was going with this.

"To ensure that you all come out of this successful hunters, and also that you enjoy your time here. Don't forget your still young, no need to rush to get out there. I want you kids to enjoy yourself and learn from these experiences. The part I play is ensuring your happiness here, so I implore you to enjoy your youth while you can Vergil. Your brothers seem to have already started, there's more to life than the mission". With that said Ozpin decided to leave Vergil, hopefully he takes what he said as something to think on.

"Hmph, foolish old man" Vergil mocked turning back to his book. He tried to concentrate but the last thing Ozpin said seemed to be ringing inside his mind; there's more to life than the mission.

Line Break

"She was totally checking you out lover boy" Griffon mocked from V's shoulder. Both V and Nero had finished their last class of the day and were walking back to their room. Griffon had decided to come out and mess with Nero on their way back since he was bored. He had actually caught a girl checking him out and prodded Nero to do something about it, but he knew he wouldn't, just wanted to see the kid embarrassed.

"Shut up, she was mostly looking at you. Or maybe she was even looking at V!" Nero said back.

"Oh no, she was definitely looking at you, until she took one glance at Griffon and decided tos top looking" V said. He was never one teasing, but Nero made it too easy. He chuckled at the boys redding face, he starting to see why Dante loved messing with him, he was easily flustered.

"Shut Up, i don't need you doing it as well. Tell that bird to go back before i make him" Nero growled. Griffon merely chuckled before returning to V's arm as a tattoo. That action was still something Nero had to get used too.

"You need to keep that thing check, what if he mouths off to the wrong person" Nero complained.

"Well he's a smart bird, he chooses his battles. Though you do make it too easy for him" V said chuckling once again. Nero wanted to retort at that but stopped as he heard yelling from the room to this right, he recognized the two voices! It was Weiss and Ruby!

"You dolt! Thats the wrong answer!" Weiss yelled at Ruby. "Weren't you listening at all!"

"Well sorry! How could i listen with his boring tales of conquests!" Ruby yelled back. Nero gritted his teeth, it still seemed like Weiss still wasn't letting up on her.

"Screw waiting, i'm not just gonna let her rag on Ruby!" Nero was about to barge right in and voice his thoughts but luckily V had put a hand on his shoulder stopping him. Nero looked back at him and saw V put his finger to his lips and motioned for him to listen.

"Well I can't blame you, even i was drowning out some of his grand quests of conquest". Weiss cleared her throat and put on what was her best impression of Professor port "Yes kids, when I was a young lad, those Grimm never stood a chance. I remember it like it was just yesterday". The two then heard giggling from the two girls as they laughed at Weiss's mock impression of their professor.

"Well seems like Ruby and Weiss worked things out" V smiled. Nero turned around and crossed his arms facing away from V.

"Yea whatever, i knew she'd do it". He smirked at a bit, happy that they were finally getting along. V wanted to say more but was interrupted from the door to team RWBY opening. Out came Ruby and Weiss standing outside their room.

"Hey guys! What's up!" Ruby greeted.

"No Ruby not what's up! Were you guys spying on us?" Weiss asked.

"No! Why would we need to?" Nero lied.

"Liar! You wanted a little peek didn't you" Weiss harrumphed. Nero went red in the face at Weiss's statement.

"W-w-hat! n-no, why-". Nero was stuttering too much to elicit a proper response, so Ruby decided to swoop in and save him.

"Weiss stop, Nero would never do that". Ruby gave Nero a nod, which he gave back in thanks.

"Doesn't matter Ruby, he's still a boy! And he's there brother" Weiss said the last part with venom.

"Geez I'm not my brother, so stop lumping me with them" Nero complained. Even when Dante wasn't around, he was still causing him trouble. "And besides, why are you only accusing me! What about V!?". The group looked over at V who was merely staring at them all in amusement.

"As weird as those tattoos are, he actually has manners. Unlike some brothers I know!". V chuckled and gave a small bow to Weiss.

"Why thank you" V said.

"Traitor" Nero cursed at V.

"Now c'mon Ruby, time to get ready for that quiz!" Weiss stated grabbing her arm. She panicked and looked at Nero.

"Un actually! Me and Nero were gonna do a thing soon, right Nero!?" Ruby asked the confused man.

"Hmmm, what th-" Ruby cut him off by grabbing his arm and speeding away.

"Catch you later!" Ruby yelled dragging the unfortunate Nero along with her.

"Ruby!" Weiss yelled at her retreating form. She sighed in defeat as she saw the girl was long gone.

"She moves quite quick" V said from Weiss's side.

"A little too quick, guess that's my leader for you" she stated smiling a bit.

"It seems you've come to term with her role" he chuckled. Weiss harrumphed at him and turned away before looking back, a somewhat sour expression on her face.

"Was I that obvious?".

"We you certainly didn't hide it" he chuckled. "Despite what others may think, I believe that you and Ruby are perfect for partners. So make sure she set on the right track".

"Of course I will! And you do the same for Nero, despite what I said. He's the better of the three" Weiss admitted.

"And what about me?" V asked curious. Weiss narrowed her eyes at V, unsure what to say.

"Your quiet enough but ...I'm gonna keep my eye on you" Weiss stated before going down the path Ruby took in hopes of finding her. V smiled at the girl before taking his leave to his dormitory

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, I really wanted to write a character interaction between Ruby and Vergil. I hope I was able to keep Vergil in character enough when i made him have the talk with Ruby, i like to believe a Vergil that grew up with his family would be a little less harsh than this canon self. I wanted to use Ruby as a way to show he cares a little bit, and isn't as harsh as he really is ...but he's still Vergil so he's gotta be harsh! Lol, not even he can resist how adorable Ruby is! As far as the story goes, im winging all of this, I don't really have a plan, im just writing! I do have some kind of plan but its not really that detailed, so if I ever get that far with this, don't expect anything great, what I can promise though, is to try and create some fun interactions, cause writing banter and moments between the characters is what i like the most about this cluster fuck of a story im writing. Once again, thank you for putting up with this and my bullshit writing. Lets see how long the wait for the next chapter is gonna be!

P.S.A. I lurk around to find new RWBY/Devil May Cry stories and there are some ones i like, others i dont and thats fine. Guys…..please remember that all these stories are just "FAN FICTION!". Not everyone's story is gonna have a super powered Dante and Vergil, others want to write a different story because they can, nothing is wrong with criticism, but to criticize and say "Dante and Vergil wouldn't be like this and wouldn't do that" is not the type of criticism I like, we all have different visions and want to play around with the characters on a website that allows us to do that! It's not like we're writing for the next damn DMC game! Look, offer your criticism in terms of what they can improve upon, but don't complain when you realize the story isn't what you wanted. If its not, them stop reading it and go find something else! I only wrote this because a story I liked and followed in the DMC/RWBY section stopped writing because they couldn't deal with the "criticism". It's unfortunate because its "Fan-Fiction!". If said author is reading this, i'd love you to still continue, but i understand if you don't. And for anyone who is thinking about making a story, just do it! Have fun and write the story you want to make! Probably gonna get heat for this but whatever :p
