RWBY: Path Of Blood 7 Chapter 7: Welcome To Beacon Valentine's Special

Haruki was thinking if he should approach them now but before he could take another step, someone tugs at his shirt. He starts to sweat... He looks back and smiles "Why if it isn't my darling Neo" He pulls Neo into an embrace. Neo hugs him tight. (Hmph! if you were a day later I would've ignored you.)

Haruki takes her hand and as they were going to beacon *Boom* something exploded. shocked, they both looked back and saw Weiss and Blake leaving Ruby behind Lying on the ground. Haruki thought to himself that the time is as good as any to make new friends. Haruki pulled Neo with him and Approached Ruby and Jaune...

"Hey! You okay? that was quite the explosion." Neo just stands behind him and smiles. They look back and see a Handsome man along with a beautiful pet.i.te girl. "Oh, Totally! it's just dust going into my nose and I sneezed." Ruby answered Haruki while scratching her head. "Oh yeah, where are my manners... I'm Haruki and this is Neo. We're also freshmen like you guys." Neo smiles and waves at them. "O-oh! I'm Ruby and this is Jaune! " Ruby extends her hand for a handshake, Jaune does the same. Haruki and Neo responds in kind. They chatted happily while Neo just smiles and sometimes nod.

Then they arrived at the ceremony hall. "Ruby over here!" Yang waved at ruby. "Oh gotta go!See you guys later!" Ruby then dashed away, Leaving haruki and co. behind. As the three of them go to another spot, Haruki spots Pyrrha staring at them so he smiles and winks at her.

Seeing this Neo pinched his sides.

Pyrrha was shocked for Haruki could sense her even if she just stared at them for a good few seconds. As she was mulling over this... Ozpin gave his speech. "It's up to you to take the first step..." He says his parting lines and leaves the stage.

but before he left he shot Haruki a glance and told him to come with him. Haruki understood from Ozpins glance that he decoded his message. So he nods towards Ozpin. He then told Neo to come with Him. Glynda approached the both of them telling them to come with her.

When they arrived in front of Ozpins office Neo was told to come inside first. After a while she left the office signalling Haruki that the operation was still undetected... Unknown to her Haruki was planning otherwise. Entering the room Haruki noticed that Ozpin was staring at him testing if he really was Salem's p.a.w.n. "Young Man I believe that you know why I called you here?" Haruki nods at his question. "You're doubting whether this is a trap. Trust me it's not... I am working for Salem." When ozpin heard this he immediately dashed towards Haruki while pionting his cane to his throat. "Young man you saying that is equal to a death sentence... so I'm going to ask you... why did Salem send you? why now..." Haruki smiles "Woah, me coming here was indeed Salems plan... She wants me to kill you.." Ozpin narrows his eyes. "So you came into my office thinking that you can just do that? How brave..." Haruki then raises is hands "Wait I believe you're misunderstood I went to you because I want her dead ... look I don't know why she wants you dead, But you are my best bet on killing her. He gave Ozpin a bulls.h.i.t backstory on how Salem found him as a child so she could raise him up to be a perfect killer. "I am tired of that life, I know Salem is immortal ,I want to live a peaceful life...and you're my best bet on that" He looked straight at Ozpins eyes. Sensing he still doesn't trust him... Haruki then struck a deal "look I know that you don't trust me" ," Oh how very perceptive" Haruk then said "How about this, I know the Fall Maiden is injured and I know the person who injured her if I help you capture her will you believe me?" Shocked by this information Ozpin pondered for a bit... "Deal, but know this..., make any suspicious moves and I will personally deal with you...

As everyone sets up their beds separately, Haruki and Neo we're sleeping side by side. (Hey, Haru you still awake? ) Neo whispered "Yeah, why can't sleep?" Neo shakes her head, (This feeling... it feels new, this place it feels great) Haruki can't blame her, because this is the life they always dreamt of a peaceful school life. he strokes her hair and tells her "well since we're here why don't we enjoy it to the fullest?" He then kisses her in the forehead and bids her goodnight. "We have a big day tomorrow, better get some shut eye." Neo nods as she dozed off into Dreamland. Haruki looks at Team RWBY bickering with each other and smiles, well time to get some rest.

Haruki opened his eyes... sensing that Neo was still asleep he pinches her cheeks "Hey Neo wake up... time to get ready" Neo raises a sign (5 more minutes) Haruki lifted her up "Stop using your semblance for that, and aren't you a little too comfy?" Neo puffs up her cheeks (I can't help it!, it's too comfy here!) she protested while flailing her arms around. "Alright, Alright. Let's just go" he says as he fixes Neo's Bed hair.

Arriving at the top of Emerald Forest. Ozpin Explained on how the teams worked. The first person you meet will be your partner and will need to take a relic whomever pair has the same relic they will be their official teammates. "So any questions?" Jaune timidly raises his hands... But before Haruki could hear His platform already flung him to the air, Neo followed suit. Ozpin made sure the two of them be flung in a different direction. When they both landed they immediately saw each other, much to Neo's joy, but Haruki knew this was on purpose.

Haruki and Neo started searching for the relics. But they were soon surrounded by Grimm, A lot of Ursas were growling at them. They just smiled at each other and brought out their weapons. Neo is using Her staple Weapon while Haruki was using A Modified Guandao , kinda like Ruby's weapon the crescent rose. On it's blade form It has saws on the blade and it can turn into an anti material sniper rifle. He has been practicing this weapon for a year. Although he didn't summon this weapon he still likes it's practicality since he has Absolute Weapon Mastery, Is absolutely deadly, although it can't compare to Ars Magus summoned weapons. It's a viable alternative when doing a.s.sa.s.sination missions.

Ozpin then watches Harukis Battle through the screen. "what do you think of these two?" Glynda asks Ozpin. "They are quite coordinated." Glynda nodded her head. Although something has been bothering them both, because from the looks of it Neo and Haruki were treating this as if it was a date...

Haruki spins his guandao as he charges towards the monsters severing their heads while Neo is supporting him from behind dealing the finishing blow to the other Grimm. After Clearing the area, Neo Clung to harukis arms taking pictures in the forest. Smiling happily, this has been her hobby ever since they started their missions. To doc.u.ment her memories with her beloved. Neo told haruki that she brought lunch and concealed it with her illusion. Haruki leaned in close and told her "But what if I want to eat is my cute darling neo?" Neo beat on his chest (What are you even saying!) Blushing madly Neo ran towards a tree stump and laid out the food. (I made sandwiches Yesterday when you were still talking with Ozpin.) Haruki then lifted Neo up, and made her sit on his lap. Haruki has decided after the incident with Emerald... He would take the next step with Neo first. (Say Aahhh) Neo fed haruki the sandwiches and he did the same. After eating Neo Leaned on Harukis chest.

Haruki then told Neo. "Neo, I love you..." as he says this he leaned in close to seal Neos lips. Neo elated from Harukis sudden confession she reaches her hand towards his face and kisses him back. (Hehehe, I'm so happy right now. I Love you too Haru.) Neo then stands up and did a cute little bow.

(I hope you would take care of me from now on) she says as she smiles sweetly to Haruki. He pulls her close into an embrace and whispers "Always..." Neo Feeling content Kisses Haru again. After a few moments of cuddling they both stood up and headed to take the relics.
