Author notes: First fanfic guys enjoy. so let's get few things straight , in this universe every one is born with these tattoos on their wrist that will turn red when their soulmate becomes of age and then spell out that persons name and start glowing when they bond (mate). They also have a tattoo of their body where its their soul symbol and the outline of their mates symbol that will fill in and change color just like the bands.

Credit: i don't own these characters Monty (R.I.P)/ rooster teeth does so go bother them about stuff.

Chapter 1: The Markings

Soulmate markings, a little band of unreadable squiggles wrapped around one's wrist and a small incomplete tattoo on a random place on one's body. Most just have 1 but some have 2 or 3 or even more they are called the poly-lovers, no matter how many you have everyone is born with them including a redheaded huntress in training.

"Ruby its time to get up" said Yang while waking her sister.

"Five…more….minutes..." yawed Ruby.

"GET UP NOW RUBY I AM NOT MISSING BREAKFAST AGAIN!" yelled the ever icy Weiss clearly annoyed at her team leader.

Blake just watched from her bed amused.

"Alright I'm up, I'm up" Ruby said while stretching, "Let me get dressed and then we can go eat." Ruby gathered her school uniform and then went into the bathroom to change. There she proceeded to undress stopping when she removed her shirt to look at her wrist where a squiggly band was wrapped around each one. She also peered at her chest where right above her heart there was a filled in black rose with an outline around it, her team seems to think the outline was that of a flame. She also knew that there was a similar rose on her back with the outline of a circle around it. Her tattoos would fill out and the bands would turn from squiggles to the names of her soulmates when she had direct contact with them after the markings were activated. They would activate turning from black to red when she became of age. Yep Ruby Rose was a poly-lover just like her dad and sister.

"Ruby come on already" Yang said while knocking on the door pulling Ruby out of her musings.

"Coming!" Ruby said while quickly getting dressed and then heading out the door with her team to breakfast.

Meanwhile in the headmaster's chambers Ozpin was making his first of many cups of coffee when a certain ginger shuffled in shirtless groaning and cursing about early mornings and cold beds.

"Morning sunshine" Ozpin said while sipping his coffee. Roman just glared at him and went to the fridge to make him some cereal.

"Why are you up so damn early" mumbled Roman while poring his cereal in a bowl.

"I'm always up this early, you just sleep late" Ozpin replied.

"What day is it?"

"Monday why?"

"Oh so that's why you're up early you have to teach those brats" Roman said with a mouth full of cereal.

"You know you shouldn't call them brats since they were able to capture you and bring you to our side"

"Ha," Roman snorted, "The only reason I'm 'on your side' is because I'm your mate and the council didn't want you dead from sexual frustration, those brats had nothing to do with it."

"They did catch you though."

Roman glared at Ozpin "You know you dyeing from sexual frustration doesn't seem all that bad." Roman said. Roman Torchwick was an EX-criminal mastermind. Brought to justice by some of beacon's best students the only reason he isn't dead or in prison is because he is one of the two soulmates of Beacon's headmaster Ozpin. The council all agreed that under the watchful eye of Ozpin Roman could use his talents for their side and live life as a sort of free man. Of course at first Roman wouldn't say a thing to Ozpin and Ozpin just let him sulk, but eventually the two became closer and now they were fully bonded soulmates. Well not fully they still needed to have their other soulmate whoever they are.

"What about our other one you wouldn't want me to die and bring the both of you with me with out us even claiming them would you?" questioned Ozpin.

"Honestly I just want them to hurry up already" Roman said while tracing the black flame over his heart. The flame seemed to have some sort of flower shape cut out of the middle of it.

"I know I do too but there not even of age yet so we must wait" said Ozpin while walking behind Roman and then running his hand over the glowing red clock with a flame in the center of it that was placed on the center of Roman's back. He knew he had the exact same tattoo on his back as well as one on the back of his neck that resembled a black clock with a flower cut out of it. His left arm had the name Roman Torchwick in red glowing ink going around his wrist, the ink was red because he had found his soulmate and glowing because they bonded. His right arm had nothing but a bunch of black squiggles going around the wrist.

"Well their taking their sweet time" Roman said annoyed, he then glanced at the clock "you have to leave soon."

"It seems so." Ozpin said while pulling the ginger in for a kiss than grabbing his coffee and leaving headed for his office. On the way he accidentally bumped into a young redheaded student wearing a cloak.

"My apologies miss Rose." said Ozpin.

"Its ok professor I wasn't watching were I was going" replied Ruby while smiling sheepishly. "Oh, how's Torchwick doing he isn't giving you any trouble is he?"

Ozpin chuckled "No he's doing fine thank you for asking, now I do believe first period is about to begin you don't want to be late"

"Your right goodbye professor" Ruby said while turning to head for class and Ozpin continuing his journey to his office.
