CHAPTER 4
Blake Belladonna POV
She was in quite a dilemma. Scratch that, this was a HUGE dilemma! A city-wide dilemma in fact!
This... Harlot, has been coming every day for the past few weeks now! She always wears a cloak, so her face is constantly shrouded, causing her to not know how this harlot is, making her quite frustrated!
What was the problem? She has been acting all close to Rin! Like, real close! Every time she enters, she immediately walks up to the counter before starting a conversation with him as if they were old friends! And every time she orders her curry, she always makes sure to touch his hands before taking it to her table!
At least Ms. Goodwitch (It was a very big surprise to see the deputy of your future school casually walk into your favorite store) didn't do such a thing! She was professional, unlike this Ms. Scarlet!
The heat in her chest just bursts when she sees this harlot talk to Rin, acting all innocent and sly! And the way she talks, so sheepish and cute-like, as if she was trying not to fuck up, it makes her want to barf!
Heck, the woman even gave her a smirk when they passed by!
She almost growled at her, wanting to reveal her heritage, but she refrained herself in time. Rin would not like his store to be a battleground between women.
This woman is her enemy, her opponent, her unspoken rival, rizzling up to Rin like nobody's business! She was not going to lose this! Not on her honor as a Black Cat Faunus!
Like what Mom said, a Belladonna gets what she wants!

Pyrrha Nikos POV
Oh, Leblanc is splendid! And Rin is such a kind gentleman, always treating her like a princess instead of the rest of the world. He sees her as Pyrrha Nikos, not the Invincible Girl that everyone sees, that makes her heart beat so fast every time he talks.
And he was just so smooth! He called her beautiful! She even got to hold hands with him! ... Well, something like that. But at least she got his number (After a few days of trying without revealing the actual intent), that was something, right? Right?!
But, ugh, this bit — black haired girl has been on her back ever since she started coming to Leblanc. So what if she touches his hand when he gives her the food of god? It's a bonus, a bonus she says!
And it may be a little bit selfish of her, but the girl is ALWAYS in Leblanc! How is she going to have some quiet time with Rin if she's always glaring at her? She just wants some peace and quiet with a cute boy like Rin —
"Are you OK, Scarlet?"
She jumped when Rin suddenly called her out, causing her to drop her spoon.
"You were staring at the food with quite a glare. Is it bad?"
"N-No! I — Er — It's just — Ahem! It's amazing as always, Rin."
She immediately calms herself down with a deep breath before smiling at the boy. The boy returned her smile before looking over her.
"And Blake, do you need anything else?"
She turned her head to look at the girl who had multiple books on the table, shaking her head as she continuously wrote on her book. Hmph! No manners at all!
No, she was not jealous at their quite close relationship! She just needed more time, and then he will be hers! Pyrrha Nikos' Property!
That sounds amazing! Hehehehe...
Ah, Rin's looking at her with a raised eyebrow. D-Did she giggled it out loud?
...
This is so embarrassing.

Ruby Rose's POV
"Hey Mom."
She said softly, staring at the tombstone in front of her just before a cliff near their house.
The wind tonight was really wild, to the point that her cape was fluttering violently, but this wasn't going to stop her from talking to her Mom!
"So... I made it to Beacon! I was in a Dust store when suddenly bad guys came up and tried to rob me! And then I whipped out my Baby, and we went all BAM! and POW!
Then the robber was like, "End of the line, Red!", and BOOM! Sure, he went on a bullhead and suddenly another bad guy was shooting fire, but then suddenly a Huntswoman came and FWOOM!
... And then I went to jail — But it was because I was a witness! And then Ozpin, you know, the Beacon's Headmaster, was like, "Do you want to come to my school?". And I said YES! OF COURSE!."
She finishes her episode before giving the tombstone a soft smile, with her eyes reminiscing of her mother.
"I-I miss you, Mom."
She stayed silent, enjoying the winds and her mother's (Even if it was just her tombstone) presence when suddenly she heard a gunshot. Turning her head to look at the direction of the gunshot, she frowned.
The woods? But no one comes at this time except her...
Glancing back at the tombstone, she hesitates before saying goodbye to her mother before jogging to the location from where the shots were fired.
When she finally arrives at the center of the woods in Patch Zone 6, which she remembered from Dad that it was a high-Grimm Zone, she stops when she sees who it was.
It was a boy, maybe the same age as Yang, dancing around dozens of Grimm like a dancer, slicing off the heads of the Beowolves with a gorgeous white broadsword while shooting them with a handgun that reminded her of the Valerian Model L4-1.
He moved with such efficiency and speed that almost reminded her of when she's in her Semblance, making her a little jealous at the speed.
But the thing that piqued her interest was the "thing" behind him. It was huge, around 3 meters tall, floating behind him and was in a long, tattered black cloak. There were two orbs that spun constantly around its middle section. She could not help but lay her eyes on the head of the thing.
Most of its head was covered in its cloak, but she could see the face of it... Well, it didn't have a face. It however did have a white Oni mask as white as the moon, shining brightly as the boy stepped on one of the Beowolves' snot to leap up high into the sky.
"[Giant Slice]!
The boy yelled as the "thing" moved, its cloak fluttering from the winds, revealing its body as her eyes widened.
Its body was just a black ball in the center. As the boy yelled the sentence out, the ball suddenly formed an arm as thick as her body.
Its arm shot out as the orbs stopped in place, converging together before molding a HUGE naginata that was 5 meters tall!
Grabbing the naginata, it raised it upwards before slashing in a vertical arc, slicing every Grimm in the arc into half.
Stylishly landing on the ground, the boy yelled out another action.
"[Burst Barrage]!"
The naginata deformed and reverted back to the orbs for just a second before transforming into two submachine guns. The "thing" extended both arms (There were two now!) before started firing randomly at the Beowolves.
RATATATATATATATATA!
Some bullets missed while others hit, but that killed about 60% of the surrounding Grimm, leaving only 4 left. Dodging a pounce by rolling to the side, he immediately fired his own gun upon recovery, hitting a head shot. 3 more left.
The remaining Grimm started running at him with their claws out as the boy just watched, waited for the best opportunity.
Three seconds to impact.
Two seconds to impact.
One seconds to impact!
That was when he acted.
"PERSONA!"
The "thing" — Persona, her head remarked — roared (Its mask's mouth opened, and that roar was terrifying!) as the guns turned into two swords, angling themselves up straight before the boy yelled one last time.
"Ravage them! [Vajra Blast]!"
In a flash, the swords moved, floating up and spinning rapidly in the air before slamming down to the ground, blade stabbed into the dirt, causing an explosion to occur.
BOOM!
She almost flew away from the impact if not for her quick instincts, stabbing a now released Crescent Rose on the ground.
With the battle now over, the boy breathes out before raising his hand to meet with his face. He stays there for a moment before his head tilts, and his eyes met hers.
Her breath hitches. His eyes were glowing golden yellow, it was almost like Yang's hair, but with more... Emotion?
As soon as he sees her, a flash of blue shone from his face, making her cover her eyes at the brightness. By the time she could see without her eyes hurting, he was already gone with only the trace of battle remaining.
Taking a second to just digest what in the cookies happened, she eventually walked back home, remembering to tell Yang the story that she just witnessed.
But that Persona thingy was really cool!
... Where had she seen that mask though?
