"So, you wanted to speak with me, Mr..." Ozpin started to state as he looked over his rim glasses at the male figure that rather rudely barged in. "Ahh, I am sorry Mr Ozpin, my name is Kuro Shenee, I am here on a rather secret mission and normally I wouldn't bother asking or even informing someone of my missions." Kuro started, before taking, a sip from a cup of coffee that he was given by Ozpin. Who seems to always be drinking, or at least that is what everyone tells him. "However, I have my reasons to break tradition, my sources tell me that you are a hunter, as well as, a headmaster of this fine establishment. I need information on the grim, specifically if you or anyone has noticed anything strange in how they act? Perhaps rumours of a fearsome grim, anything will do." Kuro then continued a hint of trepidation in his voice.

"Hmm, I see so that is why you barged in here" Ozpin then said.

3 hours earlier

"We should take her to Beacon, it is safe there, we have Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch there as well. I am certain sis will be O.K. and if we are attacked then they're a hunter and huntress" Ruby answered.

"I shall come as well" Kuro stated, "O.k. Kuro come with us" Ruby answered.

"Mr Ozpin, hmm, maybe he knows." Kuro muttered his eyes gleamed at the prospect.

"So, tell me Miss Rose, why you know someone from Beacon, unless...”Kuro asked Ruby. “Well I am a huntress, or at least training to be one." Ruby answered to Kuro question. "What is your reason to be a huntress? A cute girl like yourself. You must have a reason." Kuro then questioned.
"As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!" Ruby explained to Kuro. "Wow, and that is what motivates you, hmm, if only I met you earlier then I wouldn’t be in this mess." Kuro thought to himself. "So, Professor Ozpin. What is he like?" Kuro asked the team as they walked back up to Beacon. "Well Kuro, he does seem to enjoy his coffee and well there isn't much we know." Weiss answered.

After a while they reached the pinnacle of a cliff, standing proudly with a green light up in the air was Beacon academy. "Wow, this is beautiful. I saw this before from a safe place that I was camping at. It is impressive. I never thought that I would see beauty like this. So different from where I was." Kuro stated awe struck. "Quick let’s get Miss Yang inside," Kuro shouted as he helped carry Yang to the threshold and luckily or perhaps, for Kuro, unluckily ran into a sharply dressed woman, blonde hair, wearing glasses. "What is the meaning of this, who are you? And what are you doing with one of our students." This strict women spoke. "Whoa, s...sorry about that, umm, Miss Yang here is badly injured, I have helped but she needs proper care." Kuro answered. "It is O.K Professor Goodwitch, Kuro, He saved my sisters life" Ruby answered. "Is this true, Kuro. Did you save them" Glynda asked Kuro. "Well, yeah I did. Wait Goodwitch, I need to speak with a Mr Ozpin." Kuro answered.

"Why would you need to speak to Ozpin" Glynda then asked. "Well, that is a secret, can I talk to him?" Kuro answered quickly. Glynda thought for a second and after considering the fact that Kuro did save Yang's life. "O.k. I will talk to Ozpin, but before that I can assume you would like to rest, you look like you haven't slept for quite some time." Glynda went to acknowledge Kuro's good intentions. "Thank you, Mrs Goodwitch" Kuro bowed slightly as he said this. "Could I have a room away from the others, preferably near a roof or maybe an out of sight window?" Kuro asked. "We do have one such room, I will take you there now. Girls go back to your room, Yang will be taken to the infirmary" Glynda answered. Couple of minutes later they arrived at a door. "This will be your room, as you asked it is away from others. Also this is your key." Glynda said handing over a scroll. "Oh, no need for the scroll, I will download the data on to mine afterwards, but I will take it for now." Kuro answered. As Kuro entered the room he saw it was vary sparse, only one bed and a set of drawers. A lone window sat neatly in the corner. "This looks peaceful" Kuro stated to no one in particular. He then decided to get ready and remove unnecessary weight. He grabbed hold of his bag that he kept to the side and placed it onto the bed. "I best set up base, whilst I have the time." Kuro muttered to himself. As he opened his bag the first thing he grabbed was some clothes that were neatly packed a blue t-shirt and denim jeans. "Maybe, I can actually go out on to the streets and buy useful items." he said whilst putting the clothes away. The next thing was to remove a couple of carefully wrapped items one of which he stared at longingly, a solitary tear trickling down his face. Another, this one was wrapped in a beige colour paper. He carefully unwrapped the package, hidden was an item that stencilled on it, was his emblem. A black laser beam, striking at a dust crystal that burst into a black flame. He grabbed hold of this item and opened it revealing a picture containing two smiling children round about 8 and 6. The children one was a white haired girl and was clearly the youngest, wearing a pink dress clinging on to her brother, the other child was Kuro back when he had his original eye colour, red eyes glistened, he was wearing blue denim jeans and a white t-shirt, and two smiling adults, these were Kuro's parents, The male wore a majestic silver coat, a metallic blue t-shirt and jeans, with silver spiky hair and silver eyes, his name was Argentium Yume, the woman next to him wore a brown dress, yellow jacket, had red eyes that always seemed to glisten and burgundy coloured hair. She was called Autumn Epeler originally but changed her name. The image was Kuro's family. He looked remembering that day fully his first trip from the village, the place where he lived, to one of the main cities, he remembered this was a trip to Vacuo. A great city witch was very sandy. Kuro never saw sand before this day how would his parents act now if they knew what he and his sister have done. "That's right this was taken shortly before they, all of them form the village were taken away, the reason he is here now is because of what has happened to his family" he thought to himself. He placed the photo on the bed stand next to his bed he always (when he was safe to do so, wished them goodnight). The final package was still nicely wrapped up he wondered should he open it but decided against it. He still wasn't ready. Finally he sat on the bed, and poured the rest of the contents on to the bed besides him, there was several different ammo clips he sifted through these and as he counted them placed them back into the bag. "6 Omega clips and 14 Beta clips left, I have some blanks that I can use for omega but I need to go shopping at some point" Kuro mumbled. The last item to put away was his music player and headphones. One of the few luxuries he allowed himself, it helped with his semblance. Kuro removed his weapons from his belt and checked them for damage and wear and tear. removing the blades to check, "hmm, could do with more cleaning kits for my weapons whilst I'm at it, maybe Glynda can inform me of if there is an armoury or blacksmith I can turn to whilst I am here" Kuro contemplated. As Kuro laid his weapons to rest near where he knew he would sleep for ease of access there was a knock on the door, with a sense of almost fear he crept to the door and opened it. Stood there was a male with yellow hair who, in Kuro's opinion, looked almost laughable in such a places as this. "Hi I am Jaune Arc, I noticed you coming to this room. Are you new here?" the male who introduced himself as Jaune asked. "Yeah, I just want to meet with the headmaster. Do you know where his office is? It's kinda important". After reconfirming with Jaune Arc where the headmasters office was he left with a run, "Hmm, sis would be disappointed with me, running off like this, instead of waiting" Kuro chuckled to himself as he ran about two minutes later he arrived at the door to Ozpins office. Kuro took a breath and kicked down the door.

Ozpin sat on his chair sipping at a cup of coffee he always carried. "Hello, would you like a cup of coffee" Ozpin asked the intruder. "Yes, please two sugars" Kuro responded. "So, you wanted to speak with me, Mr..." Ozpin started to state as he looked over his rim glasses at the male figure that rather rudely barged in. "Ahh, I am sorry Mr Ozpin, my name is Kuro Shenee, I am here on a rather secret mission and normally I wouldn't bother asking or even informing someone of my missions." Kuro started, before taking, a sip from a cup of coffee that he was given by Ozpin. Who seems to always be drinking, or at least that is what everyone tells him. "However, I have my reasons to break tradition, my sources tell me that you are a hunter, as well as, a headmaster of this fine establishment. I need information on the grim, specifically if you or anyone has noticed anything strange in how they act? Perhaps rumours of a fearsome grim, anything will do." Kuro then continued a hint of trepidation in his voice.

"Hmm, I see so that is why you barged in here" Ozpin then said. "So, what is this mission?” "My mission, I don't wish to talk about," Kuro answered "my apologies". "So you want to know if anything strange has been going on, apart from the massive Grim attack." Ozpin said calmly, ridiculously so, in Kuro’s opinion. "Well, there has been an unnerving amount of Grim as of late, but why do you want to know" Ozpin questioned. "I just want to know, I fear something major is happening and thanks to you I now know that it will start here." Kuro responded. "Couple of things now, Firstly I could do with a team, two teams actually, Team RWBY is one and one more, secondly please let me do this mission I don't want you to interfere" Kuro requested.

"O.k. but if Beacon is in danger I will respond, also how do you propose we get this second team you wish." Ozpin queried. "Maybe, a tournament. Top three groups and I fight them, see who the best is." Kuro offered "Also, deal."

With that sorted Kuro walked out "Oh, Ozpin don't get in my way," Kuro warned Ozpin as he walked out. Back in his room Kuro went over the conversation a couple of times before sleeping soundly for what must have been the first time since the incident that took the lives of his parents. The next day, Kuro awoke startled there was a knock at the door. Kuro walked towards the door Fang hanging downwards he was prepared for an attack. "Who is there?" Kuro asked "Reveal yourself or else I will attack". "Hey, Kuro I heard you were here" spoke a cheerful voice that Kuro instantly recognised as Ruby's. Kuro relaxed, Ruby wasn't a threat, he then opened the door and stood in the door way was the girl herself sporting her trademark red cape, "Hey Kuro, I was wondering if you want to come with us to see my sister" Ruby spoke, a very slight hint of sadness came through. "Of course, I want to see her as well, I have been worried to be honest, It's all my fault after all." Kuro responded. "No, Kuro you saved my sister, and thank you we are going now" Ruby responded back to her cheerful nature. Kuro walked with Ruby back to where she slept and went in the other two girls of team RWBY, Weiss Schnee was sitting at a desk reading a book and writing notes down, she was studying, Blake Belladonna on the other hand was sitting on her bed reading a book she liked. "Hey Kuro is coming with us." Ruby told her teammates, "Let’s go see my sister." Weiss and Blake stopped what they were doing. "Why are you coming with us" Weiss asked Kuro clearly not trusting him. "I have a duty to make sure Miss Yang is alright and well, it was something we was expected to do, in the place I was born. One person’s problem, everyone's problem." Kuro responded rather curtly.

Kuro, Ruby, Blake and Weiss walked towards the hospital wing, once there they spoke with the holographic image stating they were there for Yang, "Yes, Yang Xiao Long is just down the hall to your left third bed along" The image responded turning itself off after they left. After a quick walk they arrived at a door, on the other side lay Yang, thoughts like "Is she O.k.", "What state is she in,", and "Is she still unconscious or worse". "Well, let’s go in," Ruby said, fear, anxiety, and a hint of trepidation could be heard in her voice. "I am sure she is just fine," Weiss responded, despite the way she acts she really is kind-hearted Kuro thought to himself. "Yang, is strong, so should we be," Blake added but the sadness in her voice betrayed her words, she amongst all was the most scared. Ruby opened the door, "Hey, Guys what took you so long, it has been so boring, I can't start my day off with a Yang here" A voice called from the other side of the door. "She's O.K" Ruby cheered "Sis, I...I thought I was going to lose you" Ruby spoke tears in her eyes as she ran to Yang, her beloved sister. "Glad to see your O.K. Yang" Weiss chipped in "It has been rather scarily quiet with you gone, I have been able to study" Weiss added. "Yang, are you really O.K." Blake asked. "Of course, apart from there haven't been any interesting boys at all, and the doctor says I have to stay here for another two weeks." Yang said. "So, what happened to the attack, did we win" Yang then asked. The rest of the members of Team RWBY looked at each other wondering what to say till Ruby spoke up. "We were so shook up by the fact that you were hit that we ended up not fighting. We would have died if it weren't for the person who saved us, who saved your life" Ruby answered. "So, who saved the city then?" Yang asked. As Yang tried to sit up she felt a massive pain "Ahhh" she cried in pain. "I don't think you should be moving around so much Miss Yang" came a voice from the door, as he walked in Yang could see he was really handsome looking. "So, who are you?" Yang asked the stranger. "My name is Kuro Shenee, I was the one that saved the town, and your life." Kuro responded with a slight bow. "I am glad to see you are alright Miss Yang, I shall take my leave there are things I must do." Kuro then spoke. "Hey Kuro, You can call me Yang you don't have to be polite." Yang responded "Thanks for saving my sisters, friends and Weiss's life, I owe you a lot, how about a drink on the shady side of town some time.” Kuro gave a weak smile "Yeah, I would like that Miss Yang... I am sorry Yang" Kuro said walking out of the door into the hospital wing.

2 weeks later.

Kuro was getting used to life in a safe room, to life in Beacon. He informed Ruby that he needed some items for his weapons, never had he met someone who loved weapons as much as he did. Ruby promised as soon as her sister got better they will go shopping. He also met a nice girl who seemed to know he existed and even broke into his room, though he did put his foot down when the girl and her team touched his precious package, (A pendent his one and only best friend gave him). The girl was named Aurora Bell. She had long, wavy dark purple hair, large purple eyes with, what looked like, dust swirling in them. She wore a pale grey tank top with purple frill at the bottom, a pale grey miniskirt with a purple underskirt. She also wore a short grey bolero jacket with long sleeves and a purple detail at the bottom of the sleeves. Around her neck she wore a black tie, she also had purple knee high boots and a slightly of colour grey thigh high socks. Aurora was certainly interesting as was the rest of her team.

Kuro was chilling out in his room he put his headphones on his head and played music, a relaxing melody, sometimes he just enjoyed these type of days the most, no fighting, no worries. After a couple of hours listening to music including a couple of tracks from one Weiss Schnee. He took off his headphones safely putting them away, "Hmm, Yang should be out today," Kuro thought absentmindedly. Almost as if by magic a knock appeared on the door just then, as he got up he decided to take his weapons with him, "Who is it?" Kuro questioned, "It's me Ruby" Ruby responded, Kuro smiled, he found himself smiling a lot recently, as he opened the door. "Hi Ruby, how is Yang, has she come from the hospital ward yet?" Kuro asked. "Of course I am, now let’s start the afternoon off with a Yang" Yang replied cheerfully. "Team RWBY, is back together, so we are going shopping" Blake responded. "We should be studying," mumbled Weiss. "Haa, haaa, haa, God Weiss you do crack me up. It is obvious you also want to go" Kuro responded through the tears of laughter, again something that has happened more and more since arriving at Beacon. "Don't forget your weapons Kuro, Ozpin has informed us to always carry weapons now, definitely now the Grim have attacked twice in as many months" Ruby informed Kuro, "also I will take you to the weapon shop, I have to collect a few things for Crescent Rose." As she said this she hugged her weapon. After a quick trip into the centre of town, Ruby and Kuro went one way the rest of the girls went another, "So we will meet here in 10" Kuro told everyone, after that they would continue shopping together. "So tell me Kuro, what are your weapons," Ruby asked. "What about my weapons, do you want to know exactly" Kuro asked walking side by side with Ruby, He did wonder what people would think with this, he wasn't exactly someone who looked his age, he looked probably 16,17 years old, and Ruby was certainly childish, maybe it was Big bother walking with little sister, he gave a slight chuckle. "Well, I am kinda interested in the weapon as a whole" Ruby answered rather sheepishly.

"Sure, I can tell you everything," Kuro said, with a smile.

"Fang is the most precious weapons I have ever used, I was given these weapons by my mum and dad before...well, before they died" Kuro paused there wondering if he perhaps shouldn't have said that. "So, you lost both your parents Kuro, I have lost my mum to" Ruby smiled, though it was clearly a forced smile. "Thanks Ruby" Kuro said as he patted Ruby on the head, he cheered up a bit. "Originally it was just to blades but I messed around a lit and managed to design a gun in Fang Beta, Also, I think you might like this my weapons can combine together to make an aura cannon" Kuro then said. "Wow, Can I see that," Ruby said silver eyes glistening, "Sorry Ruby no can do, it is way to destructive "Kuro answered, "So, Ruby why do you have Crescent Rose, what is the history there." Kuro asked. "Oh we are here" Ruby stated pointing at a very nondescript building named Gunners Delight. "What was it you wanted to know, Kuro" Ruby queried as they walked towards the door, "Nothing" Kuro stated "Nothing at all." and with that they entered the store. Weapons of all sought filled the room, behind a desk was a young male wearing dirty, oily clothes. He was the shopkeeper

"Ahh, Ruby. So glad to see you again" the shopkeeper said cheerfully "Oh, and you brought a friend". "Hi, there. The name is Kuro Shenee, I would like to buy several items for my weapons" Kuro stated with a slight bow. "Of course, so what do you need" the shop keeper answered. "I need, 300 rounds of 9mm handgun, 600 rounds of 303 rifle, and 300 rounds of 51mm assault rifle. Oh and I could do with some 20 by 30 ammo casings, and if you have it a whetstone and repair/care kits for swords" Kuro said. "That is quite an arsenal you want, it will cost quite a bit do you have enough money" the shopkeeper asked shocked at the amount asked for by someone who looks like they own nothing. "Yeah, how much will it be" Kuro asked, "It is going to be about ten thousand lien" the shopkeeper said. "I'll buy it" Kuro said as he handed the money over. "Is this fake, I mean this is 100,000 lien" the shopkeeper said, shocked at the amount given "You could buy Ruby's items as well and still have enough for 50,000 lien in change". "I will do that then, and no it isn't fake, just a bit of loose change I had" Kuro said with a slight smile. "Wow, are you rich" Ruby asked shocked. "No, I am not rich, just loose change from old jobs I used to do" Kuro answered as he grabbed the bags. With their shopping done they left the building, "We best be gett..." Kuro started to say when a scream shook him, "Help, someone there has been a murder" a female voice screamed. "We are going there first" Kuro shouted to Ruby. "Call the rest of the team" Kuro then informed Ruby. "Yang, Blake, Weiss we need you to come meet us at the weapon shop, there has been an incident, Kuro is taking charge" Ruby called to the rest of her team using her scroll. After a couple of minutes the rest of team RWBY appeared. "What is going on?" they all asked in unison, "There has been a murder, we have to check it out, before the police do" Kuro responded, with urgency, and fear in his voice. "What, why should we" Weiss asked "We should just leave it to the professionals". "Shut up, ice queen, if who I believe is behind the murder, we can't let the police get their first" Kuro shouted. Kuro and team RWBY reached the place where the cry was, "We are here miss, we will take care of the crime scene" Kuro said as he showed the women something that looked like a badge. Going down the alley way Kuro could sense danger was near, "Could this really be her, I knew I should have taken her, but The Family was on my tail, I had no choice" Kuro thought, they got to a slight opening and there laying in the middle was the body, a white blood stained cloak over the body. "Summer... Mum, is that you. I missed you why did you leave" Ruby and Yang said, tears in their eyes. "Stop, don't move" Kuro said holding them back, "That isn't who you think it is" Kuro said. "That voice can it be I finally found you..." A female voice said, as she turned around, she removed her hood revealing a beautiful girl with long white hair and glistening blue eyes, "It is, it is, it's you Brother" this girl said with a smile "I missed you so much, you’re not working with the enemy are you. The Family said you were a betrayer and I should kill you, but it is all a lie you want to kill team RWBY don't you." "Hey Sis, I am glad to see you again, and you are not injured, I feared you would suffer because of me" Kuro said smiling "But I am not killing team RWBY, and I am betraying the family". As Kuro said this he grabbed hold of Fang Alpha, "If you try to make a move, Sis, I will fight you. They aren't the enemy here the family is." Kuro said. "Of course they are the enemy, you can't tell me after you murdered Summer Rose, you won't kill kids" Kuro's sister stated with a maniacal grin. "What...Kuro is that true" Ruby asked. "Did you kill are mother," Yang asked. Kuro stared at the both of them, at all of team RWBY, "Yes, I am so sorry, I killed Summer" Kuro stated tears were in his eyes "But, I can explain, I was lied to, so was you, sis.". "What do you mean, Brother" Kuro's sister spoke. "The family, they are the ones who murdered are parents, who destroyed our lives" Kuro stated, "Believe me, sis" as he stated this he looked into his sisters, eyes. "You aren't lying," she said "Brother, I missed you so much" as she said this she ran to her brother crying. "I'm back, my most precious sister" Kuro said. "Now, Team RWBY allow me to introduce, Shiro Yume, my sister" Kuro stated "And I shall explain to you the truth".

"The truth about me, about the Family, and why I killed Summer Rose"

"However, I have my reasons to break tradition, my sources tell me that you are a hunter, as well as, a headmaster of this fine establishment. I need information on the grim, specifically if you or anyone has noticed anything strange in how they act? Perhaps rumours of a fearsome grim, anything will do." Kuro then continued a hint of trepidation in his voice.

"Hmm, I see so that is why you barged in here" Ozpin then said. "So, what is this mission?” "My mission, I don't wish to talk about," Kuro answered "my apologies". "So you want to know if anything strange has been going on, apart from the massive Grim attack." Ozpin said calmly, ridiculously so, in Kuro’s opinion. "Well, there has been an unnerving amount of Grim as of late, but why do you want to know" Ozpin questioned. "I just want to know, I fear something major is happening and thanks to you I now know that it will start here." Kuro responded. "Couple of things now, Firstly I could do with a team, two teams actually, Team RWBY is one and one more, secondly please let me do this mission I don't want you to interfere" Kuro requested.

"O.k. but if Beacon is in danger I will respond, also how do you propose we get this second team you wish." Ozpin queried. "Maybe, a tournament. Top three groups and I fight them, see who the best is." Kuro offered "Also, deal."

With that sorted Kuro walked out "Oh, Ozpin don't get in my way," Kuro warned Ozpin as he walked out. Back in his room Kuro went over the conversation a couple of times before sleeping soundly for what must have been the first time since the incident that took the lives of his parents. The next day, Kuro awoke startled there was a knock at the door. Kuro walked towards the door Fang hanging downwards he was prepared for an attack. "Who is there?" Kuro asked "Reveal yourself or else I will attack". "Hey, Kuro I heard you were here" spoke a cheerful voice that Kuro instantly recognised as Ruby's. Kuro relaxed, Ruby wasn't a threat, he then opened the door and stood in the door way was the girl herself sporting her trademark red cape, "Hey Kuro, I was wondering if you want to come with us to see my sister" Ruby spoke, a very slight hint of sadness came through. "Of course, I want to see her as well, I have been worried to be honest, It's all my fault after all." Kuro responded. "No, Kuro you saved my sister, and thank you we are going now" Ruby responded back to her cheerful nature. Kuro walked with Ruby back to where she slept and went in the other two girls of team RWBY, Weiss Schnee was sitting at a desk reading a book and writing notes down, she was studying, Blake Belladonna on the other hand was sitting on her bed reading a book she liked. "Hey Kuro is coming with us." Ruby told her teammates, "Let’s go see my sister." Weiss and Blake stopped what they were doing. "Why are you coming with us" Weiss asked Kuro clearly not trusting him. "I have a duty to make sure Miss Yang is alright and well, it was something we was expected to do, in the place I was born. One person’s problem, everyone's problem." Kuro responded rather curtly.

Kuro, Ruby, Blake and Weiss walked towards the hospital wing, once there they spoke with the holographic image stating they were there for Yang, "Yes, Yang Xiao Long is just down the hall to your left third bed along" The image responded turning itself off after they left. After a quick walk they arrived at a door, on the other side lay Yang, thoughts like "Is she O.k.", "What state is she in,", and "Is she still unconscious or worse". "Well, let’s go in," Ruby said, fear, anxiety, and a hint of trepidation could be heard in her voice. "I am sure she is just fine," Weiss responded, despite the way she acts she really is kind-hearted Kuro thought to himself. "Yang, is strong, so should we be," Blake added but the sadness in her voice betrayed her words, she amongst all was the most scared. Ruby opened the door, "Hey, Guys what took you so long, it has been so boring, I can't start my day off with a Yang here" A voice called from the other side of the door. "She's O.K" Ruby cheered "Sis, I...I thought I was going to lose you" Ruby spoke tears in her eyes as she ran to Yang, her beloved sister. "Glad to see your O.K. Yang" Weiss chipped in "It has been rather scarily quiet with you gone, I have been able to study" Weiss added. "Yang, are you really O.K." Blake asked. "Of course, apart from there haven't been any interesting boys at all, and the doctor says I have to stay here for another two weeks." Yang said. "So, what happened to the attack, did we win" Yang then asked. The rest of the members of Team RWBY looked at each other wondering what to say till Ruby spoke up. "We were so shook up by the fact that you were hit that we ended up not fighting. We would have died if it weren't for the person who saved us, who saved your life" Ruby answered. "So, who saved the city then?" Yang asked. As Yang tried to sit up she felt a massive pain "Ahhh" she cried in pain. "I don't think you should be moving around so much Miss Yang" came a voice from the door, as he walked in Yang could see he was really handsome looking. "So, who are you?" Yang asked the stranger. "My name is Kuro Shenee, I was the one that saved the town, and your life." Kuro responded with a slight bow. "I am glad to see you are alright Miss Yang, I shall take my leave there are things I must do." Kuro then spoke. "Hey Kuro, You can call me Yang you don't have to be polite." Yang responded "Thanks for saving my sisters, friends and Weiss's life, I owe you a lot, how about a drink on the shady side of town some time.” Kuro gave a weak smile "Yeah, I would like that Miss Yang... I am sorry Yang" Kuro said walking out of the door into the hospital wing.

2 weeks later.

Kuro was getting used to life in a safe room, to life in Beacon. He informed Ruby that he needed some items for his weapons, never had he met someone who loved weapons as much as he did. Ruby promised as soon as her sister got better they will go shopping. He also met a nice girl who seemed to know he existed and even broke into his room, though he did put his foot down when the girl and her team touched his precious package, (A pendent his one and only best friend gave him). The girl was named Aurora Bell. She had long, wavy dark purple hair, large purple eyes with, what looked like, dust swirling in them. She wore a pale grey tank top with purple frill at the bottom, a pale grey miniskirt with a purple underskirt. She also wore a short grey bolero jacket with long sleeves and a purple detail at the bottom of the sleeves. Around her neck she wore a black tie, she also had purple knee high boots and a slightly of colour grey thigh high socks. Aurora was certainly interesting as was the rest of her team.

Kuro was chilling out in his room he put his headphones on his head and played music, a relaxing melody, sometimes he just enjoyed these type of days the most, no fighting, no worries. After a couple of hours listening to music including a couple of tracks from one Weiss Schnee. He took off his headphones safely putting them away, "Hmm, Yang should be out today," Kuro thought absentmindedly. Almost as if by magic a knock appeared on the door just then, as he got up he decided to take his weapons with him, "Who is it?" Kuro questioned, "It's me Ruby" Ruby responded, Kuro smiled, he found himself smiling a lot recently, as he opened the door. "Hi Ruby, how is Yang, has she come from the hospital ward yet?" Kuro asked. "Of course I am, now let’s start the afternoon off with a Yang" Yang replied cheerfully. "Team RWBY, is back together, so we are going shopping" Blake responded. "We should be studying," mumbled Weiss. "Haa, haaa, haa, God Weiss you do crack me up. It is obvious you also want to go" Kuro responded through the tears of laughter, again something that has happened more and more since arriving at Beacon. "Don't forget your weapons Kuro, Ozpin has informed us to always carry weapons now, definitely now the Grim have attacked twice in as many months" Ruby informed Kuro, "also I will take you to the weapon shop, I have to collect a few things for Crescent Rose." As she said this she hugged her weapon. After a quick trip into the centre of town, Ruby and Kuro went one way the rest of the girls went another, "So we will meet here in 10" Kuro told everyone, after that they would continue shopping together. "So tell me Kuro, what are your weapons," Ruby asked. "What about my weapons, do you want to know exactly" Kuro asked walking side by side with Ruby, He did wonder what people would think with this, he wasn't exactly someone who looked his age, he looked probably 16,17 years old, and Ruby was certainly childish, maybe it was Big bother walking with little sister, he gave a slight chuckle. "Well, I am kinda interested in the weapon as a whole" Ruby answered rather sheepishly.

"Sure, I can tell you everything," Kuro said, with a smile.

"Fang is the most precious weapons I have ever used, I was given these weapons by my mum and dad before...well, before they died" Kuro paused there wondering if he perhaps shouldn't have said that. "So, you lost both your parents Kuro, I have lost my mum to" Ruby smiled, though it was clearly a forced smile. "Thanks Ruby" Kuro said as he patted Ruby on the head, he cheered up a bit. "Originally it was just to blades but I messed around a lit and managed to design a gun in Fang Beta, Also, I think you might like this my weapons can combine together to make an aura cannon" Kuro then said. "Wow, Can I see that," Ruby said silver eyes glistening, "Sorry Ruby no can do, it is way to destructive "Kuro answered, "So, Ruby why do you have Crescent Rose, what is the history there." Kuro asked. "Oh we are here" Ruby stated pointing at a very nondescript building named Gunners Delight. "What was it you wanted to know, Kuro" Ruby queried as they walked towards the door, "Nothing" Kuro stated "Nothing at all." and with that they entered the store. Weapons of all sought filled the room, behind a desk was a young male wearing dirty, oily clothes. He was the shopkeeper

"Ahh, Ruby. So glad to see you again" the shopkeeper said cheerfully "Oh, and you brought a friend". "Hi, there. The name is Kuro Shenee, I would like to buy several items for my weapons" Kuro stated with a slight bow. "Of course, so what do you need" the shop keeper answered. "I need, 300 rounds of 9mm handgun, 600 rounds of 303 rifle, and 300 rounds of 51mm assault rifle. Oh and I could do with some 20 by 30 ammo casings, and if you have it a whetstone and repair/care kits for swords" Kuro said. "That is quite an arsenal you want, it will cost quite a bit do you have enough money" the shopkeeper asked shocked at the amount asked for by someone who looks like they own nothing. "Yeah, how much will it be" Kuro asked, "It is going to be about ten thousand lien" the shopkeeper said. "I'll buy it" Kuro said as he handed the money over. "Is this fake, I mean this is 100,000 lien" the shopkeeper said, shocked at the amount given "You could buy Ruby's items as well and still have enough for 50,000 lien in change". "I will do that then, and no it isn't fake, just a bit of loose change I had" Kuro said with a slight smile. "Wow, are you rich" Ruby asked shocked. "No, I am not rich, just loose change from old jobs I used to do" Kuro answered as he grabbed the bags. With their shopping done they left the building, "We best be gett..." Kuro started to say when a scream shook him, "Help, someone there has been a murder" a female voice screamed. "We are going there first" Kuro shouted to Ruby. "Call the rest of the team" Kuro then informed Ruby. "Yang, Blake, Weiss we need you to come meet us at the weapon shop, there has been an incident, Kuro is taking charge" Ruby called to the rest of her team using her scroll. After a couple of minutes the rest of team RWBY appeared. "What is going on?" they all asked in unison, "There has been a murder, we have to check it out, before the police do" Kuro responded, with urgency, and fear in his voice. "What, why should we" Weiss asked "We should just leave it to the professionals". "Shut up, ice queen, if who I believe is behind the murder, we can't let the police get their first" Kuro shouted. Kuro and team RWBY reached the place where the cry was, "We are here miss, we will take care of the crime scene" Kuro said as he showed the women something that looked like a badge. Going down the alley way Kuro could sense danger was near, "Could this really be her, I knew I should have taken her, but The Family was on my tail, I had no choice" Kuro thought, they got to a slight opening and there laying in the middle was the body, a white blood stained cloak over the body. "Summer... Mum, is that you. I missed you why did you leave" Ruby and Yang said, tears in their eyes. "Stop, don't move" Kuro said holding them back, "That isn't who you think it is" Kuro said. "That voice can it be I finally found you..." A female voice said, as she turned around, she removed her hood revealing a beautiful girl with long white hair and glistening blue eyes, "It is, it is, it's you Brother" this girl said with a smile "I missed you so much, you’re not working with the enemy are you. The Family said you were a betrayer and I should kill you, but it is all a lie you want to kill team RWBY don't you." "Hey Sis, I am glad to see you again, and you are not injured, I feared you would suffer because of me" Kuro said smiling "But I am not killing team RWBY, and I am betraying the family". As Kuro said this he grabbed hold of Fang Alpha, "If you try to make a move, Sis, I will fight you. They aren't the enemy here the family is." Kuro said. "Of course they are the enemy, you can't tell me after you murdered Summer Rose, you won't kill kids" Kuro's sister stated with a maniacal grin. "What...Kuro is that true" Ruby asked. "Did you kill are mother," Yang asked. Kuro stared at the both of them, at all of team RWBY, "Yes, I am so sorry, I killed Summer" Kuro stated tears were in his eyes "But, I can explain, I was lied to, so was you, sis.". "What do you mean, Brother" Kuro's sister spoke. "The family, they are the ones who murdered are parents, who destroyed our lives" Kuro stated, "Believe me, sis" as he stated this he looked into his sisters, eyes. "You aren't lying," she said "Brother, I missed you so much" as she said this she ran to her brother crying. "I'm back, my most precious sister" Kuro said. "Now, Team RWBY allow me to introduce, Shiro Yume, my sister" Kuro stated "And I shall explain to you the truth".

"The truth about me, about the Family, and why I killed Summer Rose"
