Here is the third chapter of this series! Now, I had a lot of tough decisions on where to go for this, I have since hit a brick wall and current stuck in said brick wall known as writers block.
I have also considered having a prompt like story, which was basically like homestuck and RWBY Quest! But I didn't think that would work, but oh well! It's an idea that I wouldn't mind doing at all!
Chapter 3
A couple of days later, Yang got a call from the infirmary saying that Ruby's surgery was completed and they could go see her again. Yang got ready in her combat gear and rushed to the infirmary. Blake sat there waiting for Yang to get back. Weiss was studying for a history test that was coming up.
"Weiss… What happened in the Emerald forest? Why weren't you with Ruby?" Blake asked her.
"Nothing happened… it is of no cause for concern." Weiss said coldly.
"Then why weren't you with Ruby? She is your partner, you know…" Blake asked. Weiss sighed, put her history textbook down, and looked at Blake.
"We had an argument… I said some… thing's… Ruby didn't take to well to it… she got angry and yelled at me… she then started running towards a Grimm that separated from the rest of the pack… she left me alone to deal with them… that's all…" Weiss coldly stated. Blake got up and walked towards her.
"There's got to be more to it than that… Ruby, generally, never gets angry… what kind of argument did you two have?" Blake asked. Weiss sighed again.
"Well… it started off fine… once we only had fifteen Beowolves left, Ruby started to… slow down… she was taking here time killing them… I told her that she needed to hurry up and kill the Grimm… she said I can't force her to speed her up… I said that she needs to take being a huntress more seriously… she said she is a damn good huntress… snapping at me as she said it as well… she killed four Grimm after saying that…" Weiss said with a really confused tone.
"Really? I would never have expected Ruby to snap like that…" Blake said. Weiss nodded.
"I know! Anyways, Ruby started fighting the Beowolves again… I then said "Why are you getting angry from me just pointing out a flaw you are clearly showing? I'm only saying a great Huntress kills Grimm quickly and swiftly before they get a chance to fight back! You are just playing with them! Stop acting like a child and fight like true Huntress!" Ruby killed another Beowolf then pointed her scythe at me… She was pissed and her eyes turned red… I thought that was strange… she then said "I am a true Huntress… Don't you ever fucking forget that… GOT IT?!" yelling the last part… I was taken aback by that…
More Beowolves soon came out… I heard a gunshot and saw Ruby grasping her chest… I told her to sit out while I took care of the Grimm… one of the Grimm started running and she chased after it… I was left with ten Beowolves to deal with… It was her fault that she got angry and lost it…" Weiss stated coldly.
"Weiss! What is wrong with you?! Do you not care about your partner at all? If Yang heard you, I bet she would-"Blake was interrupted by a knock at the door. She answered it. Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos stood at the door.
"We heard you guys yelling… is everything okay?" Jaune asked. Blake looked away and Weiss started to study for history again.
"Did something happen?" Pyrrha asked. Blake looked at Pyrrha with a sad expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Jaune asked worriedly.
"We were talking about what happened… Weiss seemed to have pissed off Ruby a lot… She also finally got out of surgery…" Blake said.
"Oh no… Is she okay? Please tell me she's okay…." Jaune asked worried about his friend. Pyrrha placed a hand on Jaune's shoulder.
"She's supposed to make a full recovery… She's still in the infirmary… Yang is with her right now…" Blake said. At that, Blake's scroll went off. Her eyes widened and a small smile was on her face. She turned to her friends.
"Ruby's awake!" Blake said with happy tone. Weiss rolled her eyes and continued to study while the others went to infirmary to go see Ruby.
Once there, they entered the room Ruby was in. Ruby and Yang were talking to each other.
"Remember when Uncle Qrow asked you what weapon you wanted to make during your time at Signal?" Yang asked Ruby. Ruby laughed.
"How could I not? He down right cried of happiness when I told him!" Ruby said happily and laughed. Yang laughed along with her.
"Remember when dad found out that I had brought that cat home?" Ruby asked Yang.
"He said that if he found another stray animal in the house again he would take out a camera, dress the poor thing up as a burglar, and have a caption on it saying 'I was caught with my paws up'!" Yang replied. Ruby laughed at that. She then noticed the others.
"Hey guys! How's it going?" Ruby asked happily. Around her right eye, and her lower jaw was covered in bandages including most of her body, and her left leg was in a cast. She had mostly recovered overnight, even though her injuries were very severe, she would have been in the infirmary for at least a month or two.
"We're doing a lot better than you apparently." Jaune joked. Ruby giggled a bit at that.
"Yeah, well, you try having a speed semblance and going against about… twenty one Grimm while it's raining by yourself then!" Ruby joked back.
"I probably wouldn't have lasted long!" Jaune joked back. Ruby laughed at that.
"Yup! Even though I also got shot in the chest, I was still able to hold off ten Grimm!" Ruby said happily. Yang sighed.
"You gotta let your team fight with you to prevent this from happening you know sis…" Yang said. Ruby scratched the back of her head and laughed a bit.
"Well, I'm glad to see that Ms Rose is doing alright." Ozpin said from behind the others. Ruby saw Ozpin and tensed up for some reason. She didn't know why she tensed up though.
"Prof Ozpin, what are you doing here?" Ruby asked.
"I'm checking to see how you're doing… You gave us quite the scare when you returned with your team after the mission…" Ozpin said. Ruby scratched the back of her head and shyly giggled.
"I didn't mean to… I made a mistake! That's all!" Ruby stated. Ozpin nodded and left the room. This confused the rest of them.
"Ruby, are you okay?" Yang asked her. Ruby looked down at her hands.
"Yeah… I think so… I just… I feel strange… that's all…" Ruby replied.
"It's probably because you're not used to the feeling of replacing flesh… you'll be fine… I'm going to stay by your side here until you get better, alright?" Yang said caringly. Ruby smiled. I'm not alone… I have Yang with me! Ruby thought. The others left since the day was getting late.
The next morning, the door opened. Yang and Ruby entered the room quietly. Yang sat Ruby in a nearby chair. She put Ruby's crutches against the desk and walked out. She bumped into Cardin Winchester running towards the café.
"What's the hurry for, Blondie? Need to get that sister of yours a bottle?" Cardin snidely asked. Yang rolled her eyes at him.
"I thought you were going to ask me for one. Strange how you assume my sister wants one… she's actually older then that… I was getting her something to eat… like a turkey or a chicken… Would you be interested in being the cooked chicken?" Yang asked with a large grin on her face. Cardin growled at her.
"I didn't think so, you big idiot… If you'll excuse me, I'm getting my sister something to eat for breakfast…" Yang stated. She continued to run towards the café.
Once she got there, she grabbed a tray, grabbed a bunch of food, and ran back to her dorm room without dropping a single piece of food. She entered the room and placed the tray of food on the desk Ruby was sitting at. Ruby was wide-eyed seeing the food.
"Jeez Yang! I said I was only a little hungry! I didn't expect you to bring this much food!" Ruby smiled as she stared at the food.
"Well, I figured if you had anything left over, I'd eat the rest! It's for both of us!" Yang assured Ruby. Ruby smiled at Yang and then they both started digging into the large pile of food. They ate all of the food before passing out.
Blake and Weiss soon woke up to Yang and Ruby lying on the floor snuggled up together. Weiss looked at her scroll and noticed a message from Ozpin saying that she and Blake are to attend classes again. The two got ready and left a note for the two to read when they woke up. Blake and Weiss went to class.
When they got there, the air seemed strange. Blake felt like people were giving them strange looks. She felt like people saw her cat ears, even though she knew she was wearing her bow. She decided to ignore that for now and find out what was going on later.
Blake and Weiss sat in their usual spots and waited for the professor to get there.
Soon, Prof Port walked in and greeted them back.
"Ah! Miss Schnee! Miss Belladonna! Good to see that you two have returned in one piece! When I heard what happened to Miss Rose, I hoped that the rest of you were at the very least alright!" Prof Port said.
"Well of course! I'm not weak enough to let Beowolves get the better of me!" Weiss stated coldly. Blake glared daggers at Weiss. Why is she treating this like Ruby deserves it? No one deserves what happened to Ruby! Blake thought.
"Well… I guess I should begin the lesson… Miss Schnee, I hope you change that tone… It was horrible what happened to Miss Rose…" he said. Port soon began his lesson without further a due.
A crumpled up noted was thrown and it hit Blake in the head. It would have if she didn't catch it in the air. It was a note.
Hey, it's Jaune.
There's a rumour going around about Ruby and Yang… We need to talk after class…
Also, sorry for throwing this at you…
Blake put the note away and started to pay attention to the lesson again.
Once class ended, Blake waited outside for Jaune and his team. Once they came out, they walked to Team JNPR's dorm room.
"So… what is the rumour?" Blake asked.
"Well… Cardin started it… He says that Yang is in love with Ruby… and Ruby is just a cry baby that just paid Torchwick to hire some guys the day she got noticed by the headmaster and let into Beacon…" Jaune replied.
"I don't think that rumour would be of cause of concern…" Blake stated.
"Yeah… that is the first one… That isn't the one we meant though… The rumour is… Ruby let herself get hurt because she's suicidal… Yang is a slut that would sleep with any guy she can just to get off… That's the one we're worried about… We think the rumours might get to the two…" Pyrrha said. Blake thought about. The one about Ruby being suicidal might get to her… Especially the other one… would that prevent it? Blake thought.
"I see… Do me a favour… find out who spread that rumour, and make sure that it stops spreading… we can't let Ruby or Yang hear it… especially Yang… if she thinks Ruby is suicidal… She might go on a rampage to find out who started it and beat the living shit out of them… Ruby can't hear anything about the one for Yang either… that might also piss her off… Ruby can't go to class until she has been cleared… that might be tomorrow… you have another class… you should get going…" Blake said.
She left JNPR's dorm room and entered her team's dorm room to the most bizarre sight. Yang was holding a book and Ruby was laughing. But the bizarre part was the fact that Yang was acting out some of the scenes of the book she was reading to Ruby. Once the two of them noticed Blake, Yang sat Ruby down on Blake's bed, put the book back on the shelf, and sat on the floor.
"Oh, hey Blake! How was class without us?" Yang asked. Ruby looked at her trying to avoid the questions she probably knew they were going to be asked.
"Uh… well… apparently not as exciting as yours…" Blake said. She laid down on her bed and pulled out a book to read.
"We didn't know how long you'd be…" Ruby said. Yang scratched the back of her head.
"Yeah… so I thought I would lighten up the mood by reading one of your books to Ruby… Only, I added a few things to make them funny…" Yang stated. Blake rolled her eyes at that with a slight smile on her face and continued to read.
"Also… until I can walk without the crutches… I'm going to have to switch beds with someone…" Ruby stated. Blake sighed.
"I'll switch with you Ruby." Blake said, Yang stood up from hearing that.
"Actually, I'll take Ruby's bed, Blake, you can take mine until she's better… it makes sense…" Yang said. Blake shrugged her shoulders and climbed up to Yang's bed. Ruby laid down in Blake's bed and went to sleep.
"How was she today?" Blake whispered to Yang.
"A bit of pain here and there but she's fine over all… she can attend class tomorrow but can't fight until she is allowed to remove the rest of the bandages… I'm worried about her though… the doctors removed something from her chest… it was a silver bullet… which is strange… a silver bullet is used against vampires… Ruby isn't a vampire… so I wonder why…" Yang whispered.
"We can worry about that tomorrow…" Blake whispered. That's strange… she didn't say anything about werewolves… werewolves start dying if they are shot with a silver bullet… vampires would dying if that silver bullet had holy properties to it… Blake thought. Blake soon got ready for bed and went to sleep. Yang finally got ready for bed and went to sleep in Ruby's bed.
Weiss entered the dorm room and looked around. Everyone was sound asleep. She looked at Ruby with a sad expression.
"Why can't I be nice to anyone…? I'm sorry Ruby… I didn't mean to let you get hurt… I didn't have much of a choice… I hope you can forgive me…" Weiss whispered to no one in particular. She got ready for bed and went to sleep.
