Schnee: Hero or Huntress (RWBY/MHA)

Eighteen

The phone was easier to set up than Weiss realized it would be. That only made her feel like she wasted Yu's time, but the blonde woman waved off any attempts at apologizing. Staring at the contacts saved in her new phone, Weiss sighed as she stared at the only two numbers she had saved. She placed the phone to the side as she laid on the bed, her loose hair sprayed all over the sheets. Yu had left Weiss' room a few minutes earlier. That was perfectly fine with Weiss, she needed some alone time to brainstorm ideas to make money to repay Yu. Hopefully Detective Tsukauchi would return soon with some forms of identification to make doing so easier.

Weiss eyed the new phone. Yu had explained how to use the internet, as well as gave several warnings on strangers and weird links that gave viruses. Perhaps she should start researching this country's customs first? During the years Father spent training her as heiress to the SDC, Weiss learned that the various kingdoms, and even cities had different ways of doing things. This world would be no different. She might as well make the best of this silence.

Plus it beats Yu's idea of exploring the neighborhood. No, Weiss didn't need to do such a thing, not until she knew more about this world and its strange 'quirks'.

Japanese culture was a far cry from Mistralian culture. The only similarities they had were the language, and some aspects when it came to food. For example, the way their names worked was completely foreign in Weiss' mind. For example, Yu's name back on Remnant or these Western countries on the other side of the planet, would be Yu Takeyama. Here in Japan, she would be Takeyama Yu, with most people calling her by her last name unless they were close. The whole culture was built around a mutual respect that interested Weiss. Her mind immediately turned to Yu as her eyes scanned the internet page she was reading.

She told Weiss to call her Yu, which now made her heart warm. Did that mean Yu trusted Weiss? Did she see the displaced girl as a friend? Weiss couldn't stop herself from smiling, but that also made the pit in her stomach grow. What would she do if there was a way back home? Weiss had only known Yu for a few days, but it felt like she had known her for years.

She shook the thoughts out of her head. There was no way back home, and Weiss would be stuck here forever. She took in a sharp intake of air as she kept studying.

"Red like roses fill my dream and brings me to the place you rest." Weiss sang softly in Atlassian. She wrote this song, it was more of a poem really, shortly after the fight with the White Fang and Roman Torchwick at the docks. The rest of the team had been happy, and even helped with the lyrics.

"White as cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test." Weiss' eyes hungrily took in all of the information. "Black the beast descends from shadows."

Blake was the one who wrote that line, despite Weiss', Yang's, and Ruby's protest. Weiss would have to rewrite that later.

"Yellow beauty burns gold."

A knock came from the door. Weiss quickly turned off the phone as Yu stuck her head through the door. She seemed to be wearing her hero costume now, the horned domino mask covering her face.

"Heya. Not watching porn already are you?"

"No!" Weiss' face flushed. Yu laughed loudly, her eyes shining brightly.

"I need to go out on patrol for a bit. Gotta those bills you know." Yu said with a wink. Her face suddenly turned serious. "Are you going to be ok alone? I'll be gone an hour or two at most."

"I'll be fine." Weiss replied. She wasn't a child, well technically she was, but that didn't apply to her! Once she was done here she could go and practice her forms with Myrtenaster on the third floor that Yu kept empty. Winter would be disappointed in her if she found out that she grew lazy, and the wound in her side was almost gone as well, her aura taking care of it.

Yu nodded. "I'll see you soon then. You have my number if anything happens, and I'll be bringing dinner so don't worry!" She paused and looked down the hallway before sticking her head back in the room. "And there'll be some money on the counter to buy snacks if you get hungry."

Don't cook anything went unsaid, but Weiss understood the meaning well enough.

"Thank you."

Yu smiled and was about to close the door when she stopped at the last second. This time, she poked the upper half of her body through the door.

"Oh, and Weiss, you have a really pretty voice." This time she did leave, closing the door shut.

Weiss' eyes widened slightly as she felt her lips separate. Did Yu hear her last night? Or did she manage to hear parts of what she was singing? She hoped it was the latter and not the former. Turning the phone's screen back on, her eyes were drawn to her scroll which sat on the bed next to her.

Wait a minute.

She was a famous singer back on Remnant, with every single one of her concerts selling out, and most of her songs instantly went number one! Weiss grabbed the scroll and went to her files.

All of the original files for her songs were here, as well as all of the sheet music. With a large grin attaching itself to her lips, Weiss started to giggle, which turned into full on laughter. Her new phone started to buzz.

She hit the green answer button on the screen after seeing Yu's name pop up.

"Yes?"

"Thank goodness you're ok!" Yu shouted, causing Weiss to flinch.

"Uh, why?" Weiss held the phone away from her ear, but close enough that she could hear.

"I heard you laughing. I was afraid that this would be your villain origin story-"

Weiss immediately ended the call. Leaning against the bed's headrest, she sighed, but her smile never left her face.

She finally found a way to repay Yu.

A/N
I'm sure most of you noticed by now, but this will be a character focused story until Weiss reaches UA. Characters and their relationships with others will be at the forefront until then.
Weiss' hero costume will be drawn by Ziksua, who previously drew Tavy Jones from Do you fear Death? as a Kofi request. I received the sketch and I love it already!
