Round 2

One Week Later

(POV: Yang)

"And once again, I had proven that the beast was no match for my might, and-" 'God, he's still blabbing?' Was all i could think as I heard Professor Port blabber on again on one of his supposedly true stories of his youth. I tried to focus, i really did, but i couldn't focus on count of two things. First, Port is a boring teacher and second….well, how can i focus when i have a raven haired beauty sitting right next to me. I turn my head slowly till i can see Blake in my field of vision and once again, i see the shine of her beauty as always. She's not listening to the lecture, 'like most of us, i suppose', but instead she has out one of her many books she has stocked in our room. I begin to get lost staring at her, the noise of our professor being droned out as I simply watched the Faunus enjoy her book.

As soon as I began watching her, I somehow lost all other thought in my head except for the raven haired beauty in front of me. My eyes began to notice all the little things about her, like the shine in her hair just from these school lights. Now i'm gazing at her long slender looking legs 'I wonder how smooth they are?' i feel the thought go through my mind, as well as a few thoughts that i dare not think of while in a classroom. My eyes were now going up her body, gazing at how fit she actually looks as i've never taken the time to admire her for this long. As soon as i finish staring at her midsection (as well as her assets for a little too long) my eyes gaze upon her face. Though many others would call how her skin looks pale, I simply love it. Her warm and soft amber eyes shining just enough to make me sigh to myself and smile at her.

I soon discovered that I've just been watching her read for the whole class period, but who could blame me? She is just so beautiful "I have to talk to her, I need to know" I kept thinking to myself, but everytime I do, I keep thinking about what can go wrong and that's something i never do. I've always been one who makes a decision on the fly, little thought going into it, but this….this is the one thing that I don't want to mess up. I was brought from my train of thought by the sound of the class bell ringing out. As soon as my senses returned, I noticed what looked like Weiss getting mad at Ruby again for something, while the little Reaper pulled her hood over her head. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, which I reach up and rest mine on and turn to see the raven haired beauty that is my partner, Blake.

"Yang, come on. It's time for lunch, let's catch up with Ruby and Weiss" She spoke softly, slowly taking her hand off her shoulder and-wait, did that feel like a regretful let go? My thoughts immediately thought to this and tried to see Blake, but she was already through the door, with me quickly following. I just managed to catch up to Blake, seeing that Weiss and Ruby must've already made it to the cafeteria. I notice that Blake is reading another one of her books, which isn't surprising but then a thought came across my mind 'Well, I do want to try and get to know her more.' "Hey Blake" I asked, neither of us slowing our pace.

"Yeah?"

"You think, maybe I could borrow that once you're done?" God, am I glad I have quick reflexes cause as soon as I said that, Blake nearly tripped over her own feet and would've fallen face first onto the floor had I not caught her. Once Blake managed to regain her footing, she replied, but I can't help but smile softly to the fact that she has not made any effort in removing herself from my embrace, nor can she deny the bright pink beginning to form on her cheeks.

"Um, why exactly?" the curiousness in her voice was not missed by me.

"Cause you're my partner, and you're always got your nose buried in one of those books ('I got something else you can bury your nose in' 'Shut up!') so I just thought I'd see why you're so interested in them." Oh my god, seeing that blush on her face is so cute! Blake just turned a brighter shade of pink as she avoided my gaze, slowly unwrapping my arms from her.

"um, well this is the final book in a trilogy, but i can loan you the first book if you want." While I will admit I've never been a fan of having to read anything on my free will, this will be different.

"Awesome! Thanks Blake, I promise i'll take good care of them, i swear!" I reassured her the best I can, smiling as Blake just nodded and began the walk abain to the cafeteria to meet up with RW of our team. I just continue my smile, following with her but I swear I could see a small smile growing on the faunus's face when I showed interest in her favorite past time. After what has felt like hours of walking and awkward silence between us, we finally made it to our destination and walked in, only to see the other two members of our team and our friends of team JNPR talking about something. As we get closer, we can hear what it is they're saying.

"I mean, look at this! This is what we're are training to do!" I heard Jaune, our bumbling blonde friend and leader of JNPR, waving his scroll around with what looks like a news article on the screen. Blake and I sit down with Weiss on my left and Blake on my right, but I'm more curious as to what has gotten everyone so riled up today. So focused on this, I didn't notice a certain little kitty cat scooting closer to me every so often.

"What's got you all riled up, Jaune?" I speak, making my presence known to the others. Before Jaune was able to say anything, Ren calmly placed a hand on his friend's shoulder and took his scroll out of his hand, holding it out to Yang. Yang gently took Jaune's scroll from Ren's hand and held it as she read the article out-loud to the group.

"Grimm overrun!"

"As the world rests in a state of peace, the kingdoms still fear the threat of Grimm attacks. Ever since the recent attack, having been labeled 'The Breach', Many have feared for the fact that the Grimm are going to soon be able to attack the kingdoms that promise to protect them.'"

"As we close down closer to the Vytal festival, General Ironwood had tried to reassure us that we are to remain safe. We've heard from Ironwood that he has spoken to the headmaster of Beacon, Professor Ozpin, who has been well aware of this and with the recent news being heard from the Eastern Kingdom of Grimm sightings near neighboring villages, He had this to say."

"As we are well aware of the outbreak from weeks ago and the news of the villages in distress are saddening, I am confident in my decision. And that decision is to send in four of the best teams we have to send to help deal with the problem"

We heard Ozpins voice speak in the video attached to this article as we simply stared at the article. We were just quiet until we heard Pyrrha, our redhead spartan friend, speak out.

"Ozpin said he was sending out four teams. Who do you think he's going to be choosing?" I could hear my sister jump at the opportunity to speak.

"I bet it'll be us, I'm sure of it! We can do this!" Ruby was up on the table, but made a 'yurk!' sound as Weiss grabbed her hood and pulled her back down to where they were sitting. Weiss gave the red hooded scythe wielder a glare before joining the conversation.

"IF we do get chosen, I would only wonder what other teams would accompany us on this mission." The heiress spoke, making all of us wonder. We were brought out of our thoughts by the sound of the bell ringing for our last hour to begin. I stood back up and looked at my team, only to feel a rush of wind, followed by a flurry of rose petals fluttering in the air. I then see the Ice Queen shaking her head and mumbling 'what a dolt' under her breath, even though she appears to be oblivious to the obvious. I smile to myself, knowing how my little sis actually felt for the heiress but like me, she can't seem to find out the right words to say what she needs to.

"Yang" I was pulled from my short train of thought by the voice of my partner. I turn to face her and see her amber eyes staring at me.

"What's up, kitty cat?" I ask, smiling as i see her roll her eyes at her nickname i've assigned her.

"Come on, we need to go meet the rest of the guys for the last class." Oh yeah! I forgot, my favorite class is right after lunch! Professor Goodwitch's sparring class. Finally I can work out the frustrations I've been building up today from my….well, my thoughts that would make Ruby not talk to me anymore.

"Alright, let's grab our gear and go!" Another reason why I love her class? I finally get to wear my standard attire and my precious Ember Celica. I stand up and follow Blake back to the dorm in order for us to change before hitting the arena. I catch up with Blake, as well as just manage to see R & W of our team already heading back from the dorm.

"We'll see you guys back in the arena. Don't be too long you brute, we know how much you enjoy tending to your hair." Yang scoffed.

"Hey! If i don't tend to this lucious mane, it'll lose it's flow! and besides who else would take care of it as well as I do." I could hear Blake mumble something under her breath, but I couldn't quite catch what she had said.

"We'll be quick Weiss, don't worry." Blake reassured the heiress as Weiss turned on her heels and began her walk away, the clocking of her heels evident as well as the sound of my sister zipping down to catch up with her. I just shrugged and smiled before returning back to our walk with my partner, but yet my mind was elsewhere as I could feel my eyes not listening to my thoughts and continue to take glances at my partner, the friend….my crush.

'I need to tell her during Christmas. I need to know, but how? SHould I just be my blunt self and say it? or should I-' "Yang" Once again, I was brought from my thoughts by my partner speaking to me. As I turn to face her, i see that we've already arrived at our dorm surprisingly enough. I shrug and see Blake pull out her scroll and use it to open the door and we go in. "You mind if I take the bathroom first Yang?" I smiled.

"You know, you don't have to change in the bathroom. It's just us you know" I wink at her as I see my comment make her cheeks go a bright red and cause her to stutter.

"Um….I, uh….I'm gonna go change" I see her grab her clothes and rush into the bathroom, closing it with a gently slam and I could hear it lock on the inside. I simply sigh as I shed out of my uniform till I'm just in my undergarments, consisting of a black bra with my custom emblem embroidered on her cup and a pair of yellow panties to match with a black version of my emblem. I walk over to the closet and retrieve a fresh set of clothes and my combat boots. I slip on my yellow tee shirt, followed with my brown jacket. I was just sitting down to begin putting on my boots, my mind racing with several thoughts, mainly concerning both my sister and the feelings i have for the raven haired faunus currently changing in the bathroom. But just before I could get lost with my thoughts "Yang?" I could hear Blake call out to me from the bathroom.

"Yeah?"

"I forgot my ribbon on my bed. Can you bring it here?" I heard her ask, though it sounded as though she was embarrassed to ask me this. I grab her ribbon and finish putting my boots on, knocking on the bathroom door. The door cracked open ever so enough for Blake top slip her hand out and take the ribbon from me. As soon as her hand was gone, the door slammed shut. I sigh before leaning a bit against the wall near the bathroom.

"You know you don't need that bow Blake. You really don't, nobody will think different of you just because of your Faunus heritage. Weiss didn't, Ruby didn't, JNPR doesn't think any less of you….and neither do I" 'Cause they make you who you are, and is part of why I love you' That last part was only in my mind, as I still could not bring myself to say it yet. I heard the door open and see Blake walk out, as she finishes tying her bow into place on her ears.

"I appreciate the kind words Yang, I do." I heard her sigh. "But I can't, I can't take my bow off until bigger strides are taken to lessen the divide between human and Faunus. I know you understand that, right?" All I could do was nod my head, knowing she had a point.

"But you don't need to wear it around us, we already know." Blake just sighed before facing me.

"i'll think on it Yang, promise. Now come on, we better get to class." I just remembered we still had to get to Professor Goodwitch's class! Without a second though, I bolt out the door, Blake following right behind me. We zipped down the hallways as fast as we could make it, and we just barely managed to slip into class right as the class bell started to ring. We quickly found Weiss and Ruby and find our seats with them. We quickly sit down just as Professor Goodwitch entered the arena.

"Good afternoon class. Now today with Christmas break coming up soon, followed by the Vytal festival near the end of the year, we're going to be training harder so we are able to represent Beacon in the tournament." She spoke in her stern voice. Yang looked and saw Weiss and Ruby looking excited for the tournament but Blake seemed to be buried again in one of her books. 'Which reminds me, I should grab the book Blake was going to lend me tonight.' Yang thought to herself as she brought her focus back to Goodwitch.

"Today, we'll be setting up matches via the randomizer." As she said this, the computer randomizers appeared behind her as she held up her tablet scroll. "And the first match is" SHe says this as she begins to spinning of choices. I watched with anticipetion, wanting to free Ember Celica and show that, once again, why I'm the Blonde Brawler of Beacon. We hear the randomizers begin to slow down "And our first match is between-" The left randomizer stops revealing just what Yang was hoping for "Yang Xiao Long, vs her competitor-" Yang watched as the second randomizer slowed to a stop. And who it landed on, it made her heart stopped for what felt like an eternity. She could hear a loud collection of gasps go throughout the room at the results, even shocking Goodwitch for a split second before she regained her composure. Goodwitch cleared her throat, "The first match is between Yang Xiao Long and….Ruby Rose." I turned my head to face our teams leader and saw she was staring back at me with the same shocked expression.

It's not like we haven't face each other before, but that was back when we were kids, in Uncle Qrow's backyard and that was just for fun. But here in front of everyone, I'm not sure if I can actually fight- "Let's go" I widened my eyes when I hear Ruby speak, as well as hearing the book Blake was holding slam closed and Weiss trying to talk Ruby out of the fight. I just stared at my sister, dumbfounded at why she would want to take on the person who was able to put Team CRDL in the medical wing….twice!

"Um, are you sure Ruby? You do remember the last time we fought each other don't you?" I shuddered as I said this. The last time I fought against Ruby was one of the scariest times I've seen my semblance….

Flashback!

Let's go back about one year ago, in the small town of Patch. It may be a small town but it's a tight nit community. Everyone knew everybody, the people were kind to everyone, regardless of wealth, name or race. We move to a small house at the end of a cul-de-sac, with a tan paint job around the whole building, but with black shingling on the rooftop, with every now and then a red or yellow shingle being in place. We zoom inside the home to see what the inside appears to look like. All there is to be seen is a simple living room, with a couch, TV and two recliners. As well as with a kitchen down on this floor and more rooms upstairs, but we'll worry about that later. We now go out through the back door to see a young girl, with black hair that has her tips dyed a bright red. A black combat skirt with a laced from around her mid-section as well as a few sections replaced from black with a ruby red color. To end her outfit she wore a pair of combat boots and a bright red hood around her neck.

We see the young girl currently handling a small weird device that would later be known as her legendary scythe-rifle, Crescent Rose. But before we see her activate it, someone suddenly jumped over the fence around the sides of the house. "Ruby! There you are!" We now see the new person running towards the young Ruby. She wore a brown jacket over a tight yellow shirt with the girls custom emblem across her left breast. As well as wearing a necklace around her neck, a pair of short shorts that led little to the imagination as to what hid behind them and a pair of brown combat boots. Her eyes were a bright lilac, which went well with her giant mane of golden locks, which reached behind her knees. This was Ruby's sister, Yang Xiao Long, known as the Blonde Brawler and the person whose flashback this is….

I looked at my little sister, who just got off the ground, but I only saw her for barely a split second as I then felt a heavy weight around my torso. I look down to see my little sister hugging my mid section, just making me smile. Ever since she discovered her speed semblance, she's been using it non-stop to both get where she needs to go, as well as just to mess with people. I pried my sister off of me with little to no stress as my strength can outmatch almost anyone I cross. "Did it come today?" She asked the obvious question as I chuckled.

'Ever the energetic and excited' I smiled as I reached into my back pocket. I pull out a small envelope and take out its contents, unfolding the letter resting inside. I read out what it says:

"Dear Ms. Xiao Long, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that I, as well as the members of my faculty and board of education, have decided to accept your application to Beacon Academy to further your combat training. Classes start in two weeks time, so meet the airship scheduled to pick up the new students in Vale at this time.

Welcome to Beacon,

Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon."

And inside the rest in had the schedule for when the ship leaves as well as what should be packed and brought along. I looked down at my sister, who seemed so excited for me, I just smiled. "Oh This is amazing! I can't believe you got accepted, this is awesome!" Ruby nearly shouted as she wrapped her arms around me again. I just laugh, hugging my little sister close to me. I look down at her again, seeing her hold me close, not just because she's happy for me….but also cause she knows she's losing me. Ruby is two years younger than me, meaning she won't be able to attending beacon until my third year at school. I hold my little sister closer to me, as I knew it wouldn't be long till we would barely see each other. "Hey sis?" I look down at Ruby, who seemed to have a bright smile, and determination in her eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Let's spar. I finally got Crescent Rose perfected and I want to try her out!" I looked at my little rose, wide eyed. Ruby knew what my semblance was and she knows how badly she can get hurt, yet still she wants to fight me?

"Um, Ruby are you sure that's a good idea? I don't want to risk hurting you." I tried to convince my sister to not fight me, cause if I trigger my semblance, things would not be pretty. But then I see Ruby smirk, but not just any smirk, that was my confidence smirk! I only use that when I know I have something in the bag, and now my little Red Hood is thinking she can take me on!?

"What, you scared Yang? Come on, with my speed, you won't be able to touch me." As she said this, she triggered her semblance and darted to the other side of the yard, all the while activating and extending Crescent Rose to its full scythe form. This isn't good, I can feel my adrenaline beginning to pump in me and i'm curling my fingers into fists without thinking. "Yang come on! If you can't spar with your own little sister, how can you hope to succeed as a huntress!" That did it. with the cracking of my fingers as the curl into fists, and with a flex of my arms, I engage my darling Ember Celica. I feel my gauntlets extend along my forearms, feeling the triggers slide along my palms as I ball my hands once again.

"Alright Ruby….game on!" I shout, thrusting my right arm out towards her, firing the first shot of the fight. Ruby quickly aimed her rifle downwards and fired, propelling her up into the sky, far above as I began firing multiple shots off in the effort to try and hit her. Ruby then fired again, propelling herself once more, but this time down towards me. I raise my arms up in front of my face, taking my boxing stance as Ruby begins to swing and slash at me with her blade. The evident sounds of metal clanging could be heard probably throughout the neighborhood as I then side stepped from one of Ruby's lunges and took a swing at her. It would have connected too, if it wasn't for her semblance speeding her off to the other side of the yard.

"Come on Yang! I thought you were actually trying to hit me!" Is this girl trying to test my patience!? I growl softly to myself, firing off several blasts at my baby sis, then firing behind to propel me towards her. Ruby sees me barreling towards her and quickly plants the tip of her massive scythe into the ground and spins on the handle, avoiding my contact and delivering a swift kick to my back, which forces me to end up stumbling into our fence line and crashing into it. I manage myself back to my feet, seeing Ruby standing confidently with Crescent Rose resting on her shoulders, and-Is she wearing my smirk again!? I close my eyes, trying to get myself together but with that failing, I just decide 'You know what? She wanted this fight.' I curl my hand up, my knuckles cracking at each joint as I reopen my eyes, the once calming and caring color of lilac now gone and replaced with red. As red as my burning passion and determination glowing brightly inside me.

Instinctively, I begin to fire off a barrage of gunshots, setting the grass below us ablaze in a bright flame of red as I then charged into the heat. I then fired once behind me, sending me forward through the smoke and ash I created as I landed, scanning around for the Red Reaper. Then I spotted Ruby, who seemed dazed by all the haze and smoke in the air, struggling to see. I charged in, shouting as I swung a left cross, but Ruby moved out of the way just barely enough to dodge my fist. I turn around and snarl somewhat as I keep focus on my sister. I thrust my gauntlets, forcing them to dispense the empty shells as I then throw my next two bandoliers of shells into the air, having them land into my darlings and refilling them. I fire off once more, trying to hit her but thanks to her semblance, I'm doing little to nothing in this attack. I'm getting angry now, even more so than before, so angry I was blinded for a second. Just a split second. But Ruby saw my focus loss and strikes, hitting me with the blunt end of her scythe blade and forcing me backwards once again as I then stumble and fall on my ass. I look up at my sister, but then I notice something that, even when Ruby notices and takes a face of shock, boils my blood even more.

A hair. A single strand of golden hair fluttering down in the air until it landed on the ground. "Ruby…." I whisper, my voice beginning to waiver. I hear her feet beginning to back up as I get to my feet slowly, then I begin walking.

"Y-yang-"

"Nobody touches my hair, Ruby. Nobody"

"P-please, it w-was an accident-"

I felt myself stop in front of Ruby, maybe a good two feet away, my golden locks blocking her vision of my face. I curled up my knuckles and tilted my head up to face her and that look….I will never forget that look. Fear. Straight up fear. Ruby Rose was in fear of me….me, her own sister. I didn't mean to scare her, I honestly didn't. I don't remember anything after seeing her face, everything had blacked out, but when I finally came too, I was in horror of the sight I had seen. Smoke. All I could see was smoke and haze. Our tree was burnt beyond knowing, the charred back looked as though it was ready to crumble into nothing but a pile of ashes. The fence was all but destroyed, splintered wood shards and planks laid all across the yard, even some were still burning! I looked at the house, there were several broken windows and the back door seemed to have flown into the house, hinges and all. I then saw Crescent Rose somehow was impaled into the roof, the massive top blade curved into the building as the handle stuck straight outwards.

But all of that could not compare to what I saw next. The sight brought tears to my eyes faster than hearing the news of Summer's passing. Ruby….my sweet innocent sister….laying face down in the ash coated grass, her hood nowhere to be found and several spots of ash showing a red tint to them around her body. "Ruby!" I scream, running over to the body of my little sister, praying that I didn't-I saw her body twitch when I got to her side and rolled her over, as well as hearing a small groan escape her lips but before I could say anything-

"What the hell happened here?" I turned to the location of the voice and gasped, following by a gulp. Standing in the doorway was a man around 6'3" with short golden hair that shined like mine. He wore a similar yellow undershirt like me, along with a brown jacket, but he also was wearing long brown cargo pants with and the shirt had no sleeves. That was Taiyang. Me and Ruby's father.

"M-me and R-ruby….We….we were sparring and I….I…." I couldn't hold back anymore, I dropped to my knees and began shaking as I sobbed. I felt my fathers arm wrap around me as he called to the house for my uncle Qrow. My uncle, cladded in his signature grey jacket, black pants and tattered red cape, came bolting out the house with our corgi, Zwei, quick on his heels.

"Shh, Its okay Yang. Calm down and tell me what happened." He started walking me to the house as I regained my composure and began talking about what all happened; My acceptance into Beacon, how Ruby finished designing her scythe and wanting to face me….how I lost control of myself. When we were inside, Qrow came barreling through with Ruby on his shoulder as he bolted up the stairs. I made a move to try and stand but my father held me down. "Not now Yang. Let your sister recover first." As much as I didn't want to, I listened to my father and sat back down and waited.

Ruby didn't wake up for over a week, she just laid in her bed, motionless to the world. Everyone in Patch heard what had happened and had passed on their condolences for me to give to Ruby when she awakes. My father saw the toll it was taking on me, and how could it not? I'm the reason she is put into this situation. Everyday I came home from school and I'd be right by my sister's side, waiting and pleading for her to wake up, to open her eyes and be her happy little hyper self again. Same was with today, I had just came home from school, but I had a scheduled match at the local boxing arena and I was so tempted to cancel, but I needed the money to help fund my days to come at Beacon. So I grabbed the gear I needed and waiting once more in Ruby's room, Zwei asleep by Red's feet. I gently placed my hand on hers "So cold" I muttered, not used to feeling her body so freezing like this. "Ruby….I am so sorry." I hung my head down, my golden hair passing past my face as I began to cry. Suddenly, my crying stopped because I felt something stroke through my hair. I expected it to by Zwei, but when I tilted my head up, my lilac eyes met with a pair of silver eyes.

"Yang? Why are you crying?" She asked, but I couldn't say anything, I just pulled her into a tight hug, almost hurting her again in the process. I let her go "What happened?"

"Um...w-we were sparring and I uh….I…." Ruby looked at me with curious eyes, tilting her head like the lost puppy some people claim her to be. But then she looked down and noticed a bandage around her midsection, as well as on her right shoulder. "Ruby, I'm so sorry. My semblance….I couldn't control what I was-" I was cut off of my apology by Ruby pulling me into a tight embrace.

"I forgive you Yang."

"How? After nearly killing you, how can you forgive me this easily?" I asked, but not dared to leave her sweet hug.

"Because you're my sister and I know you wouldn't have done anything to hurt me on purpose." I couldn't control it anymore, I began crying again into my sister's shoulder, holding her close. We sat like this for a few minutes before Ruby gave me a gently shove. "Yang, get up. Don't you have a match to get to?" I jerked myself upright, then looked at the time.

"Shit! I only got ten minutes before my match! I gotta go!" I quickly stood up, but not before hugging Ruby, gently this time, once more before grabbing my gear and bolting out the door. I managed to arrive in time and had won my match with no problem. Another week had gone by and I was waiting at the airship field for my transport with the other students to travel to Beacon, when a pair of hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who?" The shocked look on my face couldn't be described as I turned around to see-

"Ruby!? What're you doing here?"

"You're not the only one accepted into Beacon sis, Professor Ozpin personally chose to accept me into school. I don't know why though." I was so excited I pulled my sister in a tight hug and well, you know the rest….

Flashback end.

"-ang? Yang? YANG!" I was snapped out of my thoughts by the voice of my partner Blake.

"Huh? What?" I looked around, remembering that I was still in Goodwitch's class, then I noticed that Ruby was standing down in the arena with Crescent Rose fully extended. I looked to my left to see Blake sitting next to me, a gently hand on my shoulder as she nodded slightly to me. To my right, I could see a worried look on the Ice Queen, which was unusual considering she rarely shows signs of worry about anything, except when it comes to her teammates. Then I glanced across the room to our friends from team JNPR. Jaune was looking anxiously between us and Ruby while Pyrrha was trying to get him to calm down. Nora seemed to have been bouncing on her heels, eager to see a smack down brawl between sisters while Ren sat by, though he was leaned forward in his seat to see what would happen. I took a deep breath and then, standing up, I spoke. "Alright." I grab the railing, jumping over it and landing on the ground, activating Ember Celica in the process as I made it to the center of the arena. I took my boxing stance as I squared down with my sister, seeing her taking her stance. Glynda stood by, holding her scroll at the ready.

"Three….two….one….begin!" With that said, both me and Ruby charged.

0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0

A/N Well, here went round two of my rwby fic test. Well, this was an interesting turn of events at Beacon, huh? News of Grimm attacks, a little interaction between my favorite pairing and a battle brewing between the loving sisters. What will happen next? Just wait and see!

P.S. After this is posted, I will not be updating until I have typed at least three chapters for this story as to have buffer room in the case of writers block.
