Chapter One

Red Meets Crime

##################################################

On a bright and sunny day a young girl stood in front of the music selection of a Dust Store. The girl was wearing a black long-sleeved blouse with red lining on the inside of the sleeves and neckline.

She was also wearing a skirt. The skirt reached just above mid-thigh and was black with layers of red on the inside. It was called a combat skirt for even if the wearer was to do a hand stand the skirt would stay in place rather than fall around the torso and flash the undergarments, if one was wearing any in the first place.

Underneath the skirt she wore tights and knee-high black combat boots with red lining. The boots had red buckles at the ankle on the outer edges. They were laced up with red laces and had red bottoms. Over top the skirt she wore a black leather belt with a rose shaped belt buckle. The belt also held ammo clips with a pouch that held what ever would fit in that she needed.

Just above the belts she had on what looked to be a black corset that reach up to beneath her chest. It was also laced up with red laces.

What the most eye-catching part of her outfit was her long red hooded cloak. It was pulled tight so it stayed along her back and off her shoulders. It was made like the combat skirt so that it stayed in one position instead of unraveling to blow out when she moved. It could be opened up to cover up her whole body except the bottom part of her boots. The cloak was pinned to her blouse by a silver cross at each collar-bone.

The girl's skin was pale white and when she opened her eye you could see that she had pale eyes. They were so pale that one would say that they were grey when in fact they were silver. Her hair was black streaked with red. The length of her hair was to her shoulder with bangs that could reach in to her eyes if not pulled out of her face to the right.

She had red-headphones on and was nodding her head slightly to the music she was listening to. She held in her hands a selection of CDs she was going to pick from. She was struck on five choices so she turned to the one beside her.

The red streak black-haired girl tapped on the shoulder of her long-haired blond companion that looked to be head banging.

The blonde was wearing a tan vest with gold edges over a yellow, low-cut crop top with a black crest of a burning heart. The vest had puffy short sleeves with black cuffs with gold buttons on the sides.

She had on a brown leather belt with a pouch and a small leather banner holder her burning heart sign in gold instead of black. She wore black shorts and a white asymmetrical pleated skirt in the back. She also had an orange scarf around her neck.

She had brown, knee-high platform boots with orange sock of different length. A gray bandana-like object wrapped around the top of her left boot. She wore fingerless black gloves underneath gold bracelets with black designs.

Her blond hair reached just past her rear and had a slight cowlick to her bangs. Like her companion she was also pale white but had lilac eyes.

The blond felt the tap on her shoulder and stopped head banging. She turned her head to yell over the music.

"Yeah Little Sis, What's Up?!" She smiled at her sister completely forgetting to take the head phones off. The little sister began to pantomime taking off her head phone but just took off her own. She waved the head phones slightly and the blonde finally took hers off and lay them on the back of her neck. "Ok Ruby what's wrong?" She asked in a much quieter voice.

"I would like to buy some new music but I can afford to buy them all. I can't decide what once to buy Yang so I thought you could help." Ruby said as she held up the five CDs to show her sister. Yang looked at the CDs and tapped her chin with pointer finger of her left hand in thought.

"They are all really good picks." She began only for Ruby to frown slightly. She smiled and clapped her hands. "How about this? I buy three of them and you buy the rest ok. Then I'll just copy the songs I like and you can have all five of the Cds." She laughed as Ruby hugged her around the neck with enough force that she was almost knocked on her rear.

"You're The Best Sister In The World." Ruby exclaimed as she hugged Yang tightly. Yang laughed again and her arms circled around Ruby as she ducked down some so her sister's feet could touch the ground.

Passersby looked at the two and smiled at the picture they made before they scowled as a white-haired girl started shouting. Everyone walked out of the aisle to leave the sisters alone with the white-haired loud mouth and the silent black-haired girl behind her. They gave the white-haired one dirty looks as they went.

She was either ignorant of the looks or just didn't care as she walked up to the sisters.

"I have been looking everywhere for you two. Why in the world did you guys take off by your selves?" Whitey asked as she crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot.

She was dressed a pale blue bolero jacket over in a light blue and white thigh-length dress with a piece of black lace along the neck line of the dress. The bolero has her family symbol on it in the shape of a snowflake. She had on an apple-shaped necklace on a long chain with rectangle earrings

She was wearing white, heeled wedge boots that go to mid-calf lined with red. Her long hair was white and pulled back in to a side ponytail. She had a pale complexion and ice-blue eyes with a crooked scar down her left eye.

"Calm down Weiss they didn't do anything wrong. You know we came to the city today because it's the weekend and we wanted to have some fun." The black-haired girl said as she crossed her arms over her chest also.

She had long, wavy black hair, and amber eyes with light purple eye shadow. A black ribbon was tied in the form of a bow which covers a pair of small violet cat ears on the top of her head.

She wore black low-heeled boots and stockings that start off black at her hips and then fade to purple. On the outside of her stockings are white symbols that look like belladonna flowers. She wears black ribbons on both of her arms and black detached sleeve with a silver band on her left arm.

She also had on a black buttoned vest with coattails and a white, sleeveless undershirt that shows part of her midriff with white shorts that are attached by four straps, two in the front and two in the back, to her white shirt. She also wears a detached white collar-like scarf around her neck.

"I know that Blake but that still doesn't explain why they took off in the first place." Weiss said as she stopped tapping her foot. Blake turned to look Weiss in the eye.

"You're the one who left us to begin with and I had something to do by my self. Be glad it was easy to find them." Blake stated.

"Why was it easy to find us?" Yang asked as she disentangled herself from her sister.

Blake pointed to the window and said.

"It was a dead give-away with Ruby's bright red cloak. We saw it from outside through the window from half way down the street." She said with a slight smile.

Ruby laughed as she rubbed the back of her head with her left hand.

"Ok now that we have settled that can we leave now?" Weiss asked as she look between her friends and at the clock on the wall. "We have to meet up at the square with our friends."

"Yang and I have to buy these first." Ruby said as she showed the Cds in her hands.

"Why are you buying them together, Can't you afford to buy them by yourself." Weiss asked clueless.

"No she can't because she is not rich like you." Yang said as she pulled Ruby with her by the hand to the front of the store. "We would like to buy these, Sir." Yang said politely to the elderly male behind the counter. The old man looked up and smiled as he saw Ruby.

"Why if it isn't the young girl who saved my shop a couple months ago."

"Yep, I'm glad your ok and I see that you fixed the window. The red rose is a great touch." Ruby said as she turned to look at the window with the beautiful red rose painted on it.

"Yes, you won't believe how many people come in just because of that rose." He began just to be interrupted by Weiss.

"What happened to the window?" Weiss demanded from Ruby.

Ruby looked bashful as she rubbed the back of her head.

"I kind of put a bad guy through it as I kicked him." She said with a smile. Weiss scowled as she punched Ruby on the top of the head why saying.

"You should have been more careful. It must have been really expensive to replace the window."

"It would have cost more if I had to replace all my merchandise." The old man said solemnly as he looked through his brushy eyebrows at Weiss.

"I guess your right. I'll wait outside for you guys." She said then left the store fast with her cheeks paint pink with embarrassment.

"You said you wanted to buy the Cds. You saved my shop so I'll give you a discount." The old shop keeper said.

"Thank you very much." Ruby said as she went to sort the Cds into prices only for Yang to pick out the three most expensive ones. "Yang what are you doing?" Ruby asked.

"I said I was going to buy three of them for you so I decided to buy these." Yang said as she held the Cds out of Ruby's reach.

"But I can buy them at a discount." Ruby said as she still reached for the Cds.

"Yes you can but the shop is going to lose more money if you buy the most expensive ones. It will already lose money because of the discount you earned." Yang said lightly as she smiled. Ruby put her hand down and pouted slightly.

"I guess your right Yang but I still don't feel right about it." Ruby said only to engulfed in a big hug from her sister.

"You are just too cute little Sis." Yang said before she let Ruby go and paid for the Cds. She didn't look at the prices well so she didn't see the difference between how much the Cds were and how much she was paying. Blake saw the difference and looked at the shop keeper questionably only for him to smile.

Ruby paid for her Cds and then the trio left the shop to meet up with Weiss. Just before they crossed the street Blake said.

"The shop keep gave you both discounts when you weren't looking Yang."

Yang stopped walking and turned around to look at the shop to see the shop keeper at the window. When he saw her looking he smile and waved. Yang smiled and waved back as she and her friend crossed the street.

"Well that defeated my purpose." Yang said as she walked ahead of the group. Blake sped up as Weiss walked ahead to once again take the lead. They didn't see Ruby get farther behind.

Ruby was placing the Cds in her pouch and not looking where she was going. She didn't know she was left behind or that someone was walking towards her without looking where he was going either.

The man had slanted dark green eyes with orange hair that had long bangs covering his right eye. He was dressed in a black bowler hat with a red band with a black feather in it. He had black eye-shadow around his eyes with long eyelashes. He wore a red-collared white suit and a small gray scarf around his neck. He has black gloves with rounded sleeves and long black pants and black shoes. He walked with a cane when it was clear that he didn't need it.

Ruby and the man collided and were knocked off their feet.

The man sat up first to yell at the person that knocked him over. He stopped short as he took in knee-high red and black combat boots. Black tights disappeared inside of a black skirt lined with red. It took him a few minutes to remember where he saw that skirt before. When he remembered he said.

"Oh shit." He took off his hat to hide his face and hid his cane behind his back. In one fluid motion he was on his feet and in an alley before Ruby sat up.

Ruby winced as she sat up checking her elbows for any damage. When she saw that she was alright she looked around for what she had ran into. She could see nothing but empty sidewalk in front of her.

"Hey Ruby hurry up or we are going to be late." Yang yelled waving her arms while smiling.

"Ok Yang I'm coming." Ruby said as she ran over to her sister. She didn't see the man watching her from the shadows.

He came out of the alley and watched the four girls as they walked out of sight.

"Ruby is it? So I wasn't far off naming her red." He laughed as he went about his business.
