The blonde laughed and patted her on the shoulder. "Sorry, sorry. Please don't let me die next time we face a Grimm." He said.

Amaya put her hand under her chin, mock thinking about it for a few seconds. "It sounds tempting..." she teased.

Huge anime tears ran down the fox's face. "Noooo.....I don't wanna die!" He said.

Hikari had fallen over onto her bed, holding her sides with giggles at the antics of her two team mates.

Amaya grinned as she stopped teasing the fox, glad that her antics helped.

Naruto sniffled. "You're so mean." He said jokingly.

"Sorry Foxy, but you were asking for it," she said as she stuck her tongue out childishly. "Now then...food?" she asked.

Naruto stuck his tongue out back, but in the end his hunger won out. "Okay, food! Dattebayo!" He shouted.

Hikari punched the air. "Alright! Food!" She cheered.

"Food it is then," Areku said in agreement with a light sense of humor in it.

And so they walked down to the cafeteria. As expected, there was a buzz around the room as they entered, but unlike the last time it seemed as if people were happy to see them. Kind of like when the popular crowd walks in. "Apparently, we're popular now." Hikari said.

"Apparently. But I wonder what caused the change," Ark muttered. He was quite curious about it, especially since not much had happened. The only thing that did happen was the team standing up to Weiss and her...oh, now he got it. The fact that they had stood up for Faunice, as well as having Naruto in the group and treating him like normal, must have been it.

Hikari gave Ark a meaningful glance, but it seemed as though he figured it out. "Let's find a table. I'm starving!" She said, determined that this time, she was going to actually eat.

Naruto pointed. "Team RWBY is over there. We can sit with them, 'tebayo." He said, waving to Blake as he talked.

Amaya saw Team RWBY and JNPR sitting at the same table, and Blake waving back to the young fox. Seeing Ruby waving as well, she waved back with a small smile on her face. "Sounds good to me. And look, the seat next to Blake-chan is open," she teased.

Naruto stubbornly ignored the tease and walked towards the table, giving the others not much choice but to follow. "Hey guys!" He said amiably as he sat down- next to Blake.

Hikari chuckled and followed the fox boy, finding an empty seat and sitting there. "How is everyone doing?" She asked.

Areku followed the fox boy with a light chuckle knowing that he was ignoring the teasing, for now. He then sat down next to Hikari, with Amaya sitting on the other side of him.

"We're doing fine, though it seems like you all have become pretty popular..." Ruby replied.

Hikari chuckled self-consciously. "Yeah, well...they're all fair-weather admirers. The second one of us slips up, they'll be back to hating us." She said.

"Most likely if it's you or Naruto, Hikari," Yang stated. "Though, you also stood up to the idiots as well," she added.

Hikari shrugged. "Ah, well, I don't really mind what they think. They're bandwagon jumpers. The only people that really matter are my friends, family and teachers." She said.

"Exactly," Areku said with a light nod. "Now then...let's get some food before Ruby and Nora eat it all."

Hikari chuckled. "Sounds good to me." She said, getting up to go and get some food.

"All right, food!" Naruto cheered, following Hikari.

"Maybe you should have added Foxy as well?"Amaya asked Ark as she got up to get some food herself, missing the glare that Blake was giving to her.

After getting her food, Hikari returned to the table and sat down. "So, how did everyone's first day go?" She asked.

"Fairly interesting," Yang admitted.

Naruto shrugged. "Same here, I guess." He said.

Weiss pushed a fork around on her plate as she thought of what happened this morning and everything that had happened since. She could easily see how everyone was starting to like Hikari, heir of the Starr family; however, she was confused as to how a girl like her could be so...weak. Obviously she wouldn't say this out loud, but that question plagued her constantly. And if Hikari was weak...what did that say about herself?

Seeing Weiss moping across the table, Hikari decided to take the initiative. "Weiss-chan...I think we got off on the wrong foot. If you're willing, I'd like to try and be friends. You had some pretty good moves out there earlier..." She said, slightly hesitant.
