A/N: You guys chose the option of trilogy! But that's only because only one person voted, and they said trilogy. So here you go!
Ruby sighed as she flopped down into her chair. She had been headmistress/General for two weeks, yet she had accomplished very little. There had been no battle with Atlas, no. All the kingdoms laid in wait, waiting for the other to make the first attack. But it never came. Ruby had been waiting for one of two things; either for Atlas to attack, or for her schedule to free up so she could attack herself. However, waiting for Atlas to attack first was probably her best option, as most people had not seen what Atlas had done, and she needed a way to build a common hatred for Atlas, as well as nationalism. Both were essential to ensuring high enrollment rates.
But Ruby hated waiting. She hated that, in her short time as Headmistress she had done nothing other than small things. Things the headmistress' second in command should take care of. But Ruby had no second in command; she couldn't find a suitable candidate. She felt like it was wrong to give Yang or Jaune the position, as she was related to one, and romantically involved with the other. When she offered it to Blake, she said she didn't want it. Ruby felt like Nora was too Nora for the position and she didn't really think Ren fit the position. It mainly called for someone aggressive, as it was mainly a disciplinary position.
This left Qrow as her only option, but she could tell that he didn't trust her after all that happened. He wanted to, but he just couldn't. And she didn't blame him, hell, she didn't even trust herself anymore. No one did.
Ruby yawned loudly and set her head down on her desk, trying to stop thinking about filling the position of her assistant. She was tired. This job caused her a lot of stress, which lead to her being kept awake by her own thoughts. It had been a long time since she had gotten a full night's sleep, and she felt as though she was going to collapse at any given moment.
The elevator suddenly dinged, and Ruby quickly sat up just before the doors began to open. She had no doubt that her hair was a mess, so she was glad to see that it was not a teacher nor a student, but rather her own sister.
"Jesus," Yang said, walking over to Ruby's desk. "You look like shit."
Ruby glared at her, "Gee," she said, sarcastically. "Thanks."
"You need to take a day off." Yang told her.
"I can't." Ruby said. "I've only been working for two weeks."
"When was the last time you slept— before we found you, that is?"
"I woke up in an RV right after they wiped me." Ruby said. "So a few days."
"Alright," Yang said, clapping her hands together. "You, sleep. I'll stand out front and make sure nobody comes in."
"You don't have to—"
Yang quickly cut Ruby off, "I do. Now come."
Yang motioned for Ruby to follow, and she did, tiredly dragging herself from her chair and stepping on the elevator beside Yang.
Yang pressed the button to go one floor down, to Ruby's bedroom. Once the elevator arrived, Yang effortlessly threw Ruby over her shoulder. Ruby giggled as Yang tossed her onto the large, soft bed, before turning and getting back on the elevator.
"Please take the assistant position." Ruby mumbled from the bed.
"Maybe." Yang said.
It wasn't too long before the elevator arrived at the ground floor, allowing the blonde to step off. She smirked as she approached the other two hunters.
"I did it!" She exclaimed.
Blake chuckled. "You've been kissing her ass for two weeks, why did you even want that job?"
"Because," Yang said. "No one can help Rubes quite like I can. I know her better than anyone!"
"No offense, Yang." Jaune said. "But that sounded really sexual."
Yang jumped and shook her head.
"No." She said. "Nope. Never. That is disgusting."
"Yeah," Blake said. "Yang is basically Ruby's mom. That'd be weird."
Jaune looked at Yang, "I gotta say," he said. "You look good for forty. What's your secret?"
Yang nodded. "Exercise."
"That'll do it." Jaune said.
Blake shook her head. "That's not how it works."
A/N: So, this wasn't a plot heavy chapter. It was mostly just because this was to show that things are going back to normal.
