Authors Notes: Oh man, I almost made this chapter really long. I decided to cut it where it ends because I can do all that in the next chapter, plus a bit more. That and I didn't want it going 8k+ words, ya dig? As usual, thanks for the reviews, follows, favs, and whatnot, I appreciate everyone for reading it. Also, any comments, concerns, critiques, or things you wanna know or if ya think it might be cool for me to interject, drop me a line. I don't mind. Once I get next chapter done, I think I'll let this sit for a bit while I do a bit more work on my Dragon AU, but we'll see. It's kinda nice to be writing for both of them, and it gives me somewhere to go when I'm having a bout of writers block.

But hey! Here's a question for everyone! If offered, would you accept a Dragons kiss? Think about that once your done reading this and before the next chapter goes up.

And final bit of info: Yes, Semblance and Aura are both things here. Grim aren't really the problem they are in the Canon Story but problem none the less, and the mechanized Weapons and Dust are only for full fledged hunters and members of the military. This shit is High School. That they let them have weapons is ridiculous enough!

Legal Mumbo Jumbo: RWBY and it's characters are all copyright to Rooster Teeth and are created by Monty Oum. Please don't sue me, I can't afford it. If you do, I'll have to make my lazy, smelly cats get jobs and help support the family. And then they'll stare at you with their expectant cat faces and judge you secretly.

...We must make War!

Around the rear side of the field house where most of the sports clubs often practiced awaited an impatient and excessively bored Roman Torchwick. The school bell had rang for the final time of the day and the senior squatted low, resting on the backs of his heels as he toyed with his lighter, flicking the lid of it open and shut in repetition. He sighed, hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps, as Neo arrived flanked by a pair of her flunkies that she had rounded up for escort.

" Neo, about time you get here. Got any news?" he asked, giving a lazy look between the pair of students.

By the pin on their collars, they appeared to be Juniors, a year above Neo.

" Of course I do. It didn't take too long to squeeze the info out of a few of the younger boys." she answered with a smile, giving the orange haired delinquent a shallow curtsey, " Which do you want first? There's the Rebels' marching orders, and then there's a freshman who has some family in from out of town. Couple of older boys too, and I hear he's been staying out really late getting into trouble..."

" Let's go with the Rebels, that shit takes precedence since it concerns our people. I assume they're going after Cardin?" Roman asked, pulling a cigar from his jacket pocket and placing it between his lips.

" Yep. She has their senior officers leading small groups of them around the area. They intend to surround and trap him by the gym storage shed so they can take him into custody. Of course, they'll attempt first to see if he'll come quietly, but given his temperament, I doubt he will. After that, Weiss herself will personally see that he is admonished and punished publicly. It's a good idea, and a decent show of power. Student opinion of her is relatively high despite some recent setbacks, though Pyrrha still edges her out. Who knows, this could upset the balance. Perhaps we should intervene? If she fails, it'll cause her to lose face and solidify the Student Councils authority more, especially since the election. With how close it was, Pyrrha barely kept her position." the petite girl said, pulling out her scroll.

Roman began to type something up on his own scroll as she listed off the info she had received, his face not reacting in the slightest to what she said, " I'll let Cinder know and make that call, but since Cinder wanted to see the power balance shift a bit more, I think we're gonna sit this one out. Plus, she thinks we can curry a bit of favor with the Dragons by giving them a hand. Information retrieval isn't really their specialty. They just look for people who look suspicious, beat them up till they get something out of them, then go onto the next. If they weren't so friggin' tough, they'd be a total cake walk to deal with for the most part. That Golden Dragon of theirs though...she's another story...Anything else?"

" Not really, as far as the Rebels go. They'll have him by sundown I imagine. He's strong, he'll put up a good fight. He's got those 3 idiots that hang around him to act as meat shields. It'll be a good show, though I still wonder if it's wise for us to let them take him like that. He's a good asset. If he feels betrayed that we didn't do anything..." Neo stated, just before getting interrupted.

" He won't do anything. He doesn't have anywhere else to go. The Rebels won't take him, he's not Student Council material, and the Dragon's will have a field day with him at best. At worse, they'll just crucify him to a light pole cause he'll make a pass at Xiao Long." Mercury interrupted, stepping into view from around the corner as Emerald follows in tow.

" Cinder's plan is the correct path. Just leave it all up to her." the mint haired girl chimed in.

" Yes kids, do as your mother tells you..." Torchwick provoked with a smirk when he heard Emerald scoff, " Now how about that freshman?"

" Oh, well his name is Darrin Brun, some nobody freshman. There's nothing to say about him other than he's an average student at best, he's a member of the art club, and, interestingly, a member of the Rebels. He holds no rank, and is pretty much bottom of the barrel, but that's the only thing noteworthy about him. He's got a few cousins from out of town staying for the next week or so, and apparently I've heard he's been going out late at night and coming home in the early morning hours, so he's been falling asleep a lot in class. I can't say he's the tagger 100%, but where there's smoke there's fire, they say." the rumor monger answered with a shrug and a smile, suggesting her belief in him being the culprit.

" Alright, Mercury, you go find and follow him. Don't let him out of your sight, and stay out of his. Let us know where he goes and when. I'll send someone to relieve you later on once you find the guy. Emerald, you and Neo go keep an eye on the situation around the school. Do your best to try and watch the Rebels movements. Let me know if anyone besides Cardin and his posse get involved. I don't care if it's just those 4, but if any more of our guys get busted for it, Cinder will be furious, and shit rolls down hill, got it? I'll keep tabs on the Dragons and go between for Cinder. I guess that's it. If you see any of our guys, let'm know to stay out of the way. Cardin, the Dragons, the Student Council, all of it. I want everyone besides us laying low." the delinquent ordered, standing upright and taking a couple puffs off of his cigar.

With a nod, Mercury took off at top speed, knowing he would need to coordinate with Neo likely to find this Darrin Brun kid. Emerald and Neo also took their leave, with Neo's escort following close behind her. Roman shook his head as he looked down at his scroll when a text form Cinder popped up.

Cinder: After I contact Xiao Long regarding the Freshman, contact for me. I think she'll want to hear about what's going on...

Roman let out a dry laugh, seeing her plan connect as he put his scroll away. Though he hated how monotonous school typically was, it could certainly entertain him wildly at the drop of a hat. He took off in the direction of the city, in search of a Dragon.

Across the campus, Weiss could be found patrolling about with a small group of juniors and sophomores. Dressed in her fencing attire with saber at her right hip, she was coordinating the Rebels movements through near obsessive micromanagement. She carried a small pack belted around her waist and him, inside it held not one, not two, but three scrolls, all buzzing with various bits of info. One regarded Student Council movements, where their look outs were stationing, and where their stronger members were situated.

The second regarded Cardin, as well as the movements of Cinder's people. She knew that Mercury, Neo, and Emerald had gathered by the field house for a meeting of some variety, but Cinder was no where to be found, and nor was Torchwick. She figured one of them were at that meeting, and figured they'd remain undetected. The pair had an uncanny sense of surroundings, were quick of wit and reacted well upon instinct, and were also meticulously cautious in how they moved. She groaned a bit, regretting not putting Fox or Coco on duty to watch either of them. Still, it couldn't be helped, she had more pressing concerns.

The third was for coordinating among the various members of her group. She didn't need to keep a look out on the Dragons, as they had little to do with anything that went down on campus. They often cut class or just plain didn't care. This wasn't their fight, so they didn't warrant her efforts. Plus if she had a concern that needed immediate addressing, she'd just call Yang...something she had a great deal of mixed feelings about.

Regardless, she was prepared, and had gone over the plan over and over again with those in her squad and with her various captains and lieutenants. They would keep this clean and quick, as any excess damage would look bad on them for acting rashly.

The Football team would have practice until sundown. Afterwards, they'd shower and head out. Her people on the team knew to keep Cardin contained, and to lead him towards the storage shed. Likely, the student council members of the club were probably ordered to stay out of it. Cinders people, it was hard to say. But she'd send Yatsuhashi to assist them in driving him in the direction he needed to go. She also had Coco, Fox, and Velvet positioned about to aid in this as well, each with a larger squad than Yatsu, given that he was quite a formidable opponent, and would also have the assistance of many of the Rebels more physical members.

Weiss checked the time on her scroll, grimacing at the fact that it was only just after 4 in the afternoon, meaning it'd be at least 2 more hours till the football team would be wrapping up. She groaned, then nodded towards a cloister by a nearby building entrance.

" We've got plenty of time before the Football team lets out. Until then, we'll hang out over there. It'll keep us out of sight and out of the sun too." she commanded, beckoning them to follow.

Leaving school property, Pyrrha Nikos had received a text via her scroll. Earlier, she sent a request to Yang to meet up at their favorite local diner. Something of a tradition with the two of them, whenever they had a big sports meet, or were getting ready for some kind of event, they'd always meet there before hand. Yang, of course, accepted, and within a quarter hours time, Pyrrha was being greeted at the door by her old friend. The bosozoku hadn't been waiting long, and opened her arms to greet her Pyrrha.

" Yo Pyrrha!" Yang greeted with a smile and a strong hug.

" Yang, I'm glad you could make it on such short notice." Pyrrha returned, returning the same strength Yang used, the pair squeezing the life out of each other before separating with a laugh.

" It's fine. I've got time and could use a bite to eat. So what's up? I hear there's a lot going down at the school. Figure you'd be there on high alert..." the blonde questioned.

" Yeah, if I had my way, I'd be done for the day, but after this, I'll have to head back to make sure the collateral is kept to a minimum." the fiery haired woman answered with a half smile.

The pair entered the diner and a waitress led them to an empty booth, taking their order as they sat. The pair were practically regulars and already knew what they wanted long before entering the restaurant. With a quick wave of her pen, their orders were taken and drinks were quickly distributed between the pair.

" So what's up Pyrrha? I'd imagine this isn't just a social call..." Yang asked bluntly, a smirk cast across her lips.

" As much as I'd like it to be...no. I assume you know Weiss is going into action, right?" the President asked with a straightening face.

" Sure. The whole school does. Princess isn't subtle in her approach and I'd imagine Cinder and her group are well aware of what's going on. They may even have spies within the Rebels. Actually, I'm positive they do. Wouldn't surprise me if they're monitoring their activities. But that's an issue between them, the Dragons aren't involved. We've got our own issues, which I'm hoping will get taken care of tonight." the blond answered openly, her voice unwavering.

" I've heard about it. It's probably someone from another school...I can't imagine someone from Beacon being dumb enough to horn in on your territory and pick a fight with your boys. Still, that's not the reason I'm here." Pyrrha stated, taking a quick drink to clear her throat, " I've come to ask what your intentions are between the Student Council and the Rebels. Tonight could be a deal breaker. Weiss is popular. That's undeniable. And more and more people seem to clamor to her claim for change and that our current system is antiquated and inadequate. If she bags Cardin without any real incident, it'll push her popularity even higher. If she gets big enough, she could push for a recall on the election and then take the Student Council President seat for herself. I honestly wouldn't mind that, but I don't think she has the entire student body in mind. Her change could be disruptive to many of the more timid students who are getting by better now that we've set up the our meetings. What are your thoughts?"

The blonde took a moment to consider the question and the circumstances leading up to it. After that moment, she leaned back in her seat with a shrug.

" I don't really care. Either of you will make a fine president. That's your schtick though. Politics isn't really my forte, but you know me...I prefer just to settle everything right out in the open here and now...well...at least that's how I prefer to..." Yang answered halfheartedly.

" Prefer to huh...you mean you and Weiss?" the red head asked with a concerned look.

Yang averted her gaze slightly, " Well...that's something else all together. It's not...not mutual...but...it's not exactly mutual."

It was rare to see Yang so vulnerable. Pyrrha had known the woman for most of her life and Yang was someone who rarely showed weakness. Inside, she took it as a testament to their friendship, and dearly wished to assist her on the matter.

" Your positions won't really allow it I imagine..." the president alluded.

" Kinda. I mean, I think most of the guys wouldn't really care, but with her being so political, they wouldn't really wanna follow me. Might think I'll drag them into whatever Weiss is cooking up, and I don't really blame them. I wouldn't either. And her people...it'd just look bad. I mean, here I am, the very thing they wish to try and expunge from the school." Yang took a moment to laugh, and waved her hand in jest, " Sorry I'm getting off subject. You're platform was focused on student security and conformity. It's not my style, but you're at least looking into the well being of all the students. She wants to relax some of the policies regarding the uniformity rules and the individualism ideals, but at the same time, seeks to marginalize certain groups because they may not be as productive or useful as others by cutting funding and restricting activities. Regardless to who wins, my guys are still stuck in the same spot." the bosozoku argued with strangely accurate knowledge.

Pyrrha was surprised that Yang had known so much about their individual policies and agendas, but then remembered that looks could be deceiving, something that the blonde definitely had going for her.

" Still, I don't really care one way or the other. Both of your policies cramp our style, that's why we're so split. Cinder's people are just a bunch of assholes, so that's a lost cause. Thus we have the Big 4 meetings for these reasons. It keeps the peace at least. But if you want to know if I'll back anyone particularly after this all goes down, then no. The Dragons want nothing to do with the school house drama. We've got our own problems, and that's good enough for us." the biker answered finally.

" I appreciate your honestly, but if you'll indulge me...what if Weiss makes you an offer? I know it's kind of a low blow to ask this but-" Pyrrha began before being cut off by Yang.

" She won't." Yang interrupted.

" But what if she-" the ginger tried asking a second time, getting cut off again.

" She. Won't. And she knows I wouldn't agree to anything like it anyways." the blonde stated tensely as the blue began to drain from her lavender eyes.

Pyrrha softened her expression and put her hands up in a show of apology, knowing full well that the change in Yang's eye color usually preceded a localized earthquake, " I'm sorry Yang, I shouldn't have presumed so much..."

The blonde sighed, her eyes returning to their normal shade of purple, " No...I need to just get over it. You're just doing your job as president."

" You really do miss her, don't you..." Pyrrha mused.

The pair sat in silence for a brief moment while Yang mulled over the question. Before she could give an answer though, the waitress came back with their food, and the pair began to dig in. They ate quietly, with some exception to commenting on how much they loved the dish or how Yang wished they would carry the hot sauce that she was fond of. Regardless, they allowed the mood to pass over and lighten up as they ate, to which the blonde was thankful. Finally, after finishing up and settling their bills, the pair left and took a few moments to impart their goodbyes.

" Take care out there Yang. I hope you catch that guy who's causing you trouble. Just do your best not to make it into a bigger mess. I really don't want to come into school tomorrow with that complaint filed on my desk." the Amazon joked, shooting a smirk at her friend.

" Oh please, it'll be fine. I'll just break his fingers so he can't write it up! But if you hear anything, let me know. And don't burn the midnight oil over Weiss going after some loser like Cardin Winchester. It's not worth your time, Miss President!" Yang fired back with a toothy grin.

The red headed woman let out a laugh as she turned away with a wave, allowing her old friend to head off to attend business. As much as she would have loved to just sit back and shoot the breeze, she herself had matters to attend to.

As Yang was beginning to mount Bumblebee, she happened to catch a familiar pair in the distance, walking her direction. Her expression faded from surprise to stern as her sister Ruby and Cinder appeared to be walking arm in arm. The bosozoku stalled her process of leaving, decided to wait and intervene on the couple. As soon as Ruby spotted her, she took off like a rocket to greet her sister.

" Yang! Hey sis!" she shouted as she leapt up to embrace her sister.

" Hey Ruby." Yang answered coolly, trying to keep herself from boiling over.

Immediately Ruby could tell from Yang's tone that she wasn't pleased, " Come on Yang, can't you just let it go for now?" the younger girl quietly pleaded before Cinder caught up to the pair.

Cinder glanced to each of the girls with a smile, " Yang, didn't think I'd run into you out here. The way little Ruby goes on about you all the time, it's almost as if you're right here next to me."

" As far as you should be concerned, I am. What are you and my sister doing out here?" the blonde asked as she drew a cigarette from the pouch with her teeth, displeasure plainly displayed on her face.

" Ruby has been telling me for weeks about this place the 2 of you go all the time, so I thought that we should go as well. I hear you and Pyrrha frequent it quite a lot..." Cinder stated with a lot more emphasis on the last half of her statement.

Yang hated how fast Cinder seemed to know about things. She grit her teeth and tried to remember if she had seen any of her flunkies at the diner, but nobody came to mind.

" Well the Student Council President and I are old friends, plus she wanted to get my opinion about a few things. You got anything else to say?" Yang retorted with a huff as she lit her cigarette.

" Not really. Although I may have the name of a certain freshman who has been coming and going from his house late at night these last few nights with a couple of his cousins. I'm not saying that he's the cause of your headache, but I'm having a few of my people look into it. If we find something, perhaps you'd like us to let you know? It would save you a bunch of trouble..." the raven haired temptress suggested with a smile.

Yang ground her teeth, taking another long drawl off the cigarette. She hated this situation she was in, but some information wouldn't be bad to have right now. It would certainly make their next move much easier.

" Fine. You have my number, so just let me know if you hear anything." she snorted, firing up the engine of her motorcycle.

" Don't get into any trouble out there Yang! Dad'll kill you if you get arrested again!" Ruby cautioned.

" I'll be fine Sis, don't worry about me!" the blonde stated with a smile, allowing it to fade slightly, " Just make sure to behave yourselves. I like this diner, I'd like to come back to it again sometime..."

Cinder gave Yang a sharp smile while Ruby gave an embarrassed nod. With a wave, the bosozoku took off down the street, obviously ignoring the speed limit signs.

Back at the school, Cardin Winchester and the rest of the Football team had finished practice and were getting out of the shower. Two thirds of the team almost immediately disappeared, leaving Cardin with a few stragglers. Not one to take notice of others, he obliviously continued to dress himself and make his way out of the locker room, encountering a small force of people blocking up one of the hallways leading out of the building. Among them were other athletes and Yatsuhashi, an individual for whom Cardin was not imposing in the least.

As Cardin turned to head the other way down the hall, Yatsuhashi sent a quick text to Weiss that he began to make his way along the expected route. Immediately upon hearing that, Weiss began to furiously text orders about to the various squads set up around the perimeter. The initial orders were not to engage him but to try and redirect him to the southern entrance of the building.

Passing through another set of bends and Cardin came into a tightly filled hallway where both Velvet and Coco stood at the forefront of the group. While they seemed to lack the number of powerful opponents like Yatsuhashi's group, they had a vast numerical superiority.

" Sorry Cardin. This area's blocked. We're all admiring how cute Velvet's ears are...go somewhere else." Coco warned with a frown, obviously lying and just daring him to escalate the matter.

" Whatever. Just keep your distance ya bunch of freaks." he retorted with sneer as he retreated the other way.

Quickly, he sent a couple of texts, and in a few moments he was met by his 3 other compatriots. The quartet began to make their way towards the south entrance, passing by the hallway leading east and getting a glare from Fox and his group. The quartet drew tighter as they spoke.

" I don't like this Cardin. Think they're up to something?" Russel questioned, a hint of fear in his voice.

" It's fine as long as we don't pick a fight with the big guy and his group or all those girls. Let's just head this way and we'll see what's up. If they won't let us leave the school, then we bust through." he answered, leaving his strategy up to brute force.

Sure enough, the southern exit wasn't blocked, and the quartet made their way out the doors. There, they took the path that led them by the gym storage room. Scattered about were various athletes, all appearing to be looking for something. Or someone. With a grit of his teeth, his suspicions were confirmed, and as the four of them began to slow their pace, Weiss Schnee backed up by a small host of sophomores and juniors seemed to slide out from their flank. She drew up to Cardin and despite her stature seemed to be looking down at him figuratively.

" Cardin Winchester! I, Weiss Schnee, as head of the Student Disciplinary Committee do hereby serve you with a warrant for your continued bullying of students and the disruption of scholastic activities. Come with me peacefully so we may discuss your behavior and punishment, or you shall be forcefully detained." she commanded without a single hitch in her statement.

" Are you serious? You're going to haul me in? You're barely bigger than my mace! How are you going to bring me in?" the large senior insinuated with a smirk.

" I'll not repeat myself again Cardin. Give up peacefully and maybe I'll negotiate your punishment. Otherwise, I will detain you. Choose now." the smaller woman stated, not budging an inch.

" Hey Cardin, the little washboard wants you to give up!" Sky Lark mocked.

" Come on girl, you're cute, even with that ugly scar...but you ain't got nothin on us!" Russel goaded with a laugh.

" Get out of here shorty. Nobody cares about all that." Dove spat.

" Well, you heard my guys Weiss. I know you're one of those big 4 bitches or whatever, but you don't scare me. Now scram." Cardin commanded, bringing his face close to Weiss' as his voice began to raise.

Immediately, Weiss raised her arm and pressed it up against Cardin's chest. A small glyph appeared and as it materialized against him, he was suddenly flung backwards. As the other 3 began to draw their weapons, Weiss had already drawn her saber and sliced the belt on Dove's sheath, knocking his weapon to the ground. A quick thrust shoved the blade up and into Sky Lark, whom could not react in time due to his weapons bulk, and he was sent sprawling across the ground, saved only by his aura. A quick step backwards and Weiss brought her saber to bear against the smallest of the four boys, allowing it to be caught against his twin daggers. A twist of the blade and a flourish in her step allowed the twin weapons to be disarmed with ease, and a spin on her left heel provided her with the momentum to bring her opposite foot across his face and drop him prone.

Finally recovered from Weiss' premptive assault, Cardin charged forth and knocked Dove to the ground as he swung his oversized mace. With his attack all but telegraphed, Weiss gracefully bowed out of his path and slashed him three times along his back and legs, bringing the young man down onto his knees. She took a step forward and placed her saber to the side of his throat and let the blade nip a small cut from his skin. As his three comrades tried to rejoin the melee, Weiss held out her free hand to generate a trio of black glyphs, appearing underneath each of them. With an irresistible force, each of them were pulled down to the ground, almost as if they were over encumbered by the clothes on their backs. They groaned and strained against the glyphs power, but were unable to free themselves.

Now that Weiss had handled his crew, Cardin was left alone with his neck forced along the razor sharp edge of Weiss' saber. Though he knew that she would certainly not kill him, it was obvious that she had him over a barrel. Regardless, he had his pride, and as he tried to stand up and shake her off from behind him, he felt her foot slam hard into the back of his head and drive it into the ground, gashing his neck more so along the blade. Though it was nothing more than a flesh wound, one that his aura would take care of soon, the damage he suffered from the back to back assaults were enough to cause him to throw in the towel.

" FINE! FINE YOU WIN! I...I GIVE UP!" Cardin shouted with pain in his voice.

" Should have thought about that in the first place." the pale woman chided, her voice just a tinge heartless.

She dug her heel further into the back of his head, aggravating the wound in his forehead as it pressed harder into the ground. After hearing his agony for long enough though, she sighed and took a step back, removing her heel from his head and the sword at his neck. A flick of her free hand released his friends from their confinement as the glyphs disappeared, and she shot Yatsuhashi, Fox, and a few others a glance.

" Yatsuhashi, take Cardin Winchester into custody. You three, grab his goons and follow me. They wanna be accomplice to Cardin's idiocy, they're more than welcome..." Weiss commanded.

Taking a handkerchief from her pocket, Weiss cleaned the blood off of her saber before sheathing it at her hip. She was sure she'd get some flak tomorrow for actually injuring the athlete, but it was worth it just to drive home the point that the Heiress wasn't there to mess around. Plus, red tape never worried her. Following in line with the caravan of fellow Rebels, Weiss allowed for a heavy sigh, knowing that she would be here till late in the evening writing up reports.

As the hours continued to pass, the afternoon fell into evening, allowing the night sky to blanket the city. It was clear and crisp as the autumn had fully set in, with a nice bright moon and hundreds of stars to be pointed out and counted. But tonight, Yang Xiao Long had other things to worry about. For starters, someone or someones were actually dumb enough to continuously disrespect the Dragon's and their territory, defacing various landmarks and hang outs with their obscene tags. Secondly, was the whole affair of Cinder and Ruby. Yang loved her younger sister with all her heart, and didn't want to do anything to harm her or to cause her trouble or pain or sorrow. But Yang knew Cinder pretty well, and she knew that Cinder had to be bad news for Ruby. But the woman was intelligent and left zero holes in her defense.

And then there was the matter of her and Weiss.

For the last 2 years, their relationship had been in some sort of limbo. At their peak, they had been passionate lovers and spent a great deal of time together. Open. Honest. And affectionate. But as Weiss' popularity grew and the need for her to organize the Rebels became paramount, the pair spent less and less time together. Eventually, Yang fell into her old habits of picking fights and riding around recklessly. She eventually wound up in a motorcycle gang, and was quick to overtake the guy leading it, making her the reining Queen of the streets.

Soon, Weiss stopped visiting, and their calls became less frequent. Partially due to her status as leader of the Rebels, partially because of her responsibilities at home. Yang wasn't a hundred percent sure, but she assumed it had a lot to do with her fathers health deteriorating, and the need to prepare an Heir in case of emergency. Still, Weiss did her best to fulfill all her roles. All but the one as Yang's girlfriend.

And to the Heiress' credit, Yang knew she wasn't completely infallible in the matter. She could have just followed Weiss into the Rebels and been her aide and confidant. She could have done anything and everything in her power to assist Weiss at home with her duties, and to try and lessen her burdens. But she knew that Weiss would oppose forcing such things on Yang. Especially because Yang hated the idea of politics, and she while she was very experienced in regards to familial duty and obligations, she didn't so much understand why the Heir for the company had to be a Schnee, especially as Weiss and her father weren't always on the best terms and the young woman hadn't made up her mind about what she wanted to do with her future.

Thoughts about how they seemed to grow apart so much in the last two years had bugged Yang more and more as of late. A check of her scroll showed that it was a quarter after 8, and with all these thoughts bothering her more and more, she longed for either escape or release. Taking a moment to light up another cigarette, she glanced about to get her bearings, deciding on escape as she headed off in the direction of Juniors club.

Certainly, this thing she had with the Malachite twins was simply a carnal affair. But that's what she liked about it. It was simple. There was mutual attraction between them, and for the Yang, that was good enough. The Twins themselves seemed to enjoy the blondes company, but it was well known that this relationship was very noncommittal and all parties involved seemed to agree happily upon those terms.

As the Golden Dragon raced through the streets and weaved about between the cars, she felt a vibration from her scroll, indicating a call. Slowing down, she pressed the small device up into her helmet and pulled off the road. The voice on the other side made her shoulders bristle.

" Yang, it's Cinder. I got some news for you." the raven haired woman cheered.

" Spit it out Cinder, I ain't got all day." the blonde retorted coarsely.

" Of course, of course. So it seems that one of my people has confirmed that a one Darrin Brun and his 2 cousins are in fact the ones tagging your territory. If you'd like, I can tell you where they're at, and where they're heading..." the dark woman alluded.

" Fine, whaddya got?" Yang hurried.

" They're currently on 4th and main, by the hotdog place. From what my kitty cat tells me, they're going to head over to the docks by the school to cause some trouble." Cinder revealed with a hint of glee.

The Golden Dragon sighed heavily, not wanting to say the next six words.

" Thanks Cinder. I owe you one." the blonde begrudged as she hung up on the temptress.

Cinder smirked as she stared at her phone while Ruby slept soundly with her head resting in Cinders lap. She pet the smaller girls hair as she began to issue out a few more orders via her scroll, then leaned down and planted a small kiss upon Ruby's head, eager to plan out her next few moves.

As for Yang, she immediately dialed Sun and sent a mass text out while conversing with him. If things went well tonight, maybe she could have both release and escape. Well, release from one of the problems plaguing her.

" Hey Boss. Whatcha need?" he asked a bit on edge.

The blonde smirked as she held the cigarette tightly between her teeth, " Have some guys head over to the docks by the school yard. And make sure they keep out of sight. Then, I want you, Neptune, Scarlet, and Sage all up here with me by the school. I've got names and I've got locations. So now all we gotta do is kick a little ass and show these punks what happens when you walk into a Dragon's lair."

She immediately turned around where she was at, and with a roar from her engine as she cranked the accelerator to it's max, began making her way over to the school. The anticipation of a fight, and the excitement it brought the biker lifted her spirits. Lifted them enough, anyways.
