"We can do that for you Hikari," Amaya said before sighing lightly. "There's something else I need to tell you all as well," she stated, knowing that Ark wasn't going to like the information about the confrontation Itachi and herself had against Kabuto...

"Come on Kitty, spill! How was your date with Foxy?" Yang asked her partner, extremely curious. Especially since she had five lien on the line with the bet she made with the leader of Team HANA

Hikari tilted her head, part of her selfishly glad for the change of topic. "Okay. Is there time to tell us now, or should we wait?" She asked, glancing at the clock on the wall.

Weiss was pretending not to listen, but couldn't fully hide her curiosity.

"I think there's time to tell you all," Amaya said before explaining about the attack and Kabuto, along with the threat of him helping Sasuke escape.

Blake sighed lightly at that. "You aren't going to let this go until I tell you, are you?" the cat faunus asked.

((Well then...))

Hikari was pale by the end of Maya's story. "This is bad. Really bad." She whispered.

Naruto was less quiet about it. "We don't have time for class. We have to go tell Ozpin, now! You guys should have woken him up last night! Kabuto is no joke!" He yelled, jumping up from his bed. He was ready to go right then and there.

"Probably not." Weiss said in a carefully bored tone. "Personal information doesn't exist with these two." She pointed at the sisters.

"Naruto, calm down. We'll go see Ozpin at lunch, but we still need an education. Besides, Itachi was with Amaya last night and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't tell Headmaster Ozpin about the altercation," Areku ordered, and compromised, with the fox faunus.

"Sadly, but at least we aren't dating them," Blake responded before noticing the light blush on both her partner and Weiss's cheeks, filing the information away for later. "Now then...here's what happened. And Yang, if anyone else knows about this besides Naruto and his team by the end of the day, your hair will be the victim" Blake commented before telling the two who were awake about her date with Naruto while Ruby slept through it all...

Naruto looked about ready to set something on fire. "You don't get it, do you? Our education means nothing if this isn't prevented! If Kabuto sent that message, then that means he's involved...we can't let Sasuke fall back into his hands. If that happens, we're doomed!" He shouted.

Hikari stood up. "Naruto, what the heck are you talking about? Calm down for a second, and keep in mind that Sasuke is locked up in one of the most secure places on the planet right now." She said, looking far more intimidating than a girl her size had any right to be.

"Naruto, explain." Ark said quickly, noticing how panicked Naruto was, especially with how he was using the word "him". There had to be an explanation or something else that they needed from Naruto, and they needed it now.

Naruto started pacing, unable to keep still. "Back when Sasuke first went bad, he joined up with a guy who promised him more power. This guy, Orochimaru, is one of the worst villains the world has ever seen. He's done all kinds of disgusting experiments, and he's insane...his original goal was to use Sasuke's power to make himself immortal. Sasuke overpowered him eventually, though, so he couldn't do that. They parted ways, but they still have an alliance. Kabuto is Orochimaru's favorite lackey. If Kabuto Is poking around, that means Orochimaru knows about Sasuke being captured and plans to spring him. It also means that the old snake has something planned." He explained.

Hikari's face drained of color. "Orochimaru...? I know him..." She whispered, looking like she was about to faint. "He was my brother's tutor when we were little."

"Alright then...Naruto, you know the most about all of this. Talk to Headmaster Ozpin and Amaya, you should keep an eye on Sasuke. Use your semblance so that you aren't seen. If Kabuto or this Orochimaru person shows up, get out of there and report to Ozpin. Hikaru and I...will be in class." he said, starting to see his girlfriend come up with a rebuttal/response.

"I don't like it either Starlight, but Sasuke was after me, Blake and Naruto before. I have a feeling both Kabuto and Orochimaru will be helping him, and the best place for us to be is within a crowd. I'll also let Team RWBY know so that they can react accordingly." Ark responded. And even though he was acting like the leader...this was the exact reason why he didn't want to lead the team.

"No, I think you're right. At least two of us need to be seen in class, so that it's less suspicious. We don't need other students getting involved." She said. "Besides, Orochimaru knows me. I can't risk him seeing me near Sasuke."

"We should have a good description ready of Kabuto and Orochimaru, so that everyone will recognize them. Although, Orochimaru is a master of disguise..." Naruto chipped in.

"I'm pretty good at drawing. I'll make pictures of each of them during class. Naruto-kun, Maya-chan, can you tell me what Kabuto looks like?"

"It was dark and Kabuto was wearing a hood at the time. Sorry Hikaru," Amaya said.

"No, that's okay Amaya, it can't be helped," Ark said as he thought of who should be seen in class with Hikaru while the others went to tell Ozpin.

Hikari shook her head. "No, don't apologize. You couldn't help it." She said.

"It's okay, I remember exactly what he looks like." Naruto said. He started describing Kabuto to Hikari, who wrote down his description.

"There. I can draw a reasonable picture of both of them. As soon as I get them done, we'll send the pictures to Ozpin."

Amaya sighed lightly. "It's a shame we can't just have Ruby speed them over to Ozpin once you're done with them Hikari" she commented before getting up. "I'm going to take a shower and then I'll head to class with you seeing as the boys should think of ways to counter Kabuto and his master," she added.

Hikari blinked. "That's it! Our first class is Itachi-sensei's, and Ruby is in it with us! I can ask her before class to take the pictures once they're done, she can ask for a bathroom break and speed them to Ozpin, along with a letter from me." She jumped up and hugged Maya. "You're a genius!"

Naruto clapped his hands together. "Okay, we've got a plan. Let's do it!" He said.

"As much as I appreciate the hug, and compliment, Hikari, I need a shower," Amaya said before smirking lightly. "And besides, if you're not careful, Areku might get jealous," she teased before heading into the bathroom and turned the water on.

Hikari cast a confused look over at Ark. "What does she mean? Why would you get jealous?" She asked, momentarily distracted.

Naruto snorted, shook his head, and left the room.

"Don't worry about it, Amaya was just teasing you," Ark replied before shaking his head lightly, somewhat surprised that Hikari didn't get what she was implying. "Anyways, if we are going to have enough time to have breakfast and explain what we want Ruby to do, we should follow our fellow faunus and leave now...after getting dressed of course.

Hikari shrugged. "Okay...?" She said, going to get her clothes from her dresser. She was still trying to figure out what Amaya had meant. After a moment, she turned bright red and squeaked. She had just figured it out.

(Yang vs. Tifa Death battle was awesome! Please go to Screwattack.com sometime tomorrow to see it if you're interested)

Ark couldn't help it as he started laughing. Once controlling his laughter well enough, he got dressed...only to remember her reaction and started chuckling again.

Hikari scowled. "Don't tease me. It's early, we just woke up, and I was distracted by other things. I'm allowed to be a little slow on the uptake."

"Sorry Starlight," Ark said with a look of apology on his face. He didn't mean to upset her, but it was amusing all the same. "However shall I make it up to you, my fair lady?"

Hikari tried to frown, tried to stay cross, but found it impossible. "Oh, don't worry about it. You'll just have to show me later that you really care." She said.

Ark nodded, though a look of mirth still danced across his face. "At least there's one good thing about it being only here and not with the others. Yang would tease you mercilessly if she saw and heard this stuff," he replied with a grin. "Then again...we could just tease her about how close she's been getting to the Schnee heiress lately as revenge..."

Hikari chuckled. "That's true. Ah, the pros and cons of social life." She said. "Well, I'm ready to go."

"Same here," Amaya said a few minutes later. After that was said, she looked at both her leader and her partner, waiting on the both of them to head to breakfast with her.
