Ruby gasped as she felt her scythe fly from her hand. The whooshing sound was all too familiar to her, hearing her uncle remind her that losing your weapon means death, that she should keep a good firm grip, and never let go. Helpful as that phrase may be in training, the real things was much harder to master. She fell back onto her rear as a Beowulf slashed at her, her aura breaking. Ruby could feel it, the impending death, her life flashing before her eyes. She screamed as loud as she could, hoping someone would answer her. She opened her eyes moments later to see the creature twitching, it's claws trying to reach out. Ruby looked down to see a single blade through its chest. The blade retracted and the Beowulf dissipated into black ash.
Standing above Ruby, was a women who she had run in with many a times but never spoken to. She tried picking her brain for the name, Em, Emma, no wait, Emerald. Now she remembered. Although she could only look the girl up and down, entranced by the girl's physique and tone. The green haired girl quickly checked around her and put her sickles away, turning her attention towards the screaming girl. Emerald leant down and offered a hand. Ruby looked a bit confused, but her mind returned to her and she took the hand, standing up and dusting herself off.
"Are you alright Ruby?" Ruby blushed.
"Y-you know my name? I mean, yes. I'm okay. You got here just in time. I was about to be someone's lunch," Ruby giggled and rubbed the back of her head, trying to seem brave.
"That's...unlikely, but are you sure you're alright?" Ruby nodded her head quickly.
"Yeah yeah, just a bruise. Nothing special to see," Ruby ran and quickly got her weapon and put it away. "So umm...what are you doing here Em? Looking for Grimm to kill?" Emerald hesitated upon hearing the girl's question but reminded herself that it was probably childish curiosity and could wave it off.
"Something like that. Grimm killing relieves a bit of the stress and helps work out any kinks one on one training won't," By now, Ruby had returned to ogling at her rescuer, her tight rapped clothes, complimenting every part of her body her. Emerald's impressive breasts, thighs and whole body drove Ruby wild. She had forgotten to listen to Emerald and almost began to drool.
"Ummm Ruby, you okay," Emerald clicked her finger in front of the rose, causing her to blink and shake her head.
"Oh yeah. Sorry, I was umm...getting distracted, but I swear I'm okay. Just need to rest," Emerald cocked and eyebrow at the answer.
"Well, if you say so. Just stay safe," Emerald waved and walked away, slightly swaying her hips. Ruby stared and blushed. Emerald giggled as she walked further away. "So easy, so cute."
Ruby walked into her dorm, climbing onto her bunk and slamming her face down. She heard her sister make a comment.
"What did you say, Yang?" Ruby tilted her head to the side to listen.
"I said, how was your practise? Get much practise hunting for Grimm?" Ruby sighed and rolled onto her back.
"Yeah, but I got my butt handed to me, and someone came to rescue me," Yang put her book down and walked closer.
"So what's go you all worked up? Feel guilty that someone had to rescue my cute sister?" Yang reached up and began tickling her sister. Ruby pushed her hands away rolled onto her sides. Yang frowned. She was concerned for her sister. She is normally bubbly and very outgoing. "Hey, what's wrong? You're not acting like you."
"I'm just not used to being rescued okay," Yang snickered.
"It's not like you feel in love with them," Ruby could feel her cheeks turn red and huddled into a ball. "Right? Ruby, you okay?" Yang rolled Ruby over to see her blushing madly, trying her best to cover her own face from Yang's sight. "OH MY GOD, you did, what's name? Is he hot? Please tell me you have the same good tastes in guys like I do," Ruby pulled her hands away and bit her lip.
"Well," Yang waited expectantly. "His name is Emerald."
*Later*
"Yang, Yang, come in Yang. Are you okay, Yang?" Yang shook her head and leaned up, gasping for air. She panted and held her head. She felt dizzy, as if she had fallen on her head. "What the hell Yang? What happened?" Yang tried piecing the last few moments together. Ruby upset, no, embarrassed. At that moment, Yang remembered and grabbed her sister.
"YOU LIKE GIRLS? WHY?" Ruby mumbled out some words but nothing solid. All the words were mixed sentences with words from her thoughts. "Ruby talk straight," Yang's eyes turned from a lovely lavender colour into a deep red, Ruby relaxed and took a breath.
"I like the girl who saved me. Her name is Emerald. She is very pretty and her hair is lovely. I want to know her better, but I mean I also want to just hold her and hug her. She looks really really pretty," During Ruby's ramblings, Yang had let go of her sister and relaxed her breathing.
"So you really like this Emerald girl huh?" Ruby nodded and smiled. "Well, do you know where you could try and introduce yourself to her?" Ruby took a few seconds to think and remembered seeing her around.
"Well I know she likes hanging around Vale. Maybe shopping is her thing. Maybe I should see if I can find her their."
"Okay, I'll give you a ride. You still got your bike helmet?" Ruby smiled and nodded, standing up and changing into her second outfit.
As the two rode around, they stopped often to look for the green haired girl. Spending almost an hour riding around and finding nothing Ruby began feeling more and more stupid as she knew it couldn't actually be a thing. Ruby tapped Yang on the shoulder, Yang nodding and stopping near the curb.
"What's up, sis?" Ruby sighed and took her helmet off, looking around.
"I think we aren't going to be finding her anytime soon. I think I will just have a look around."
"You sure? I'm free and happy to help," Ruby shook her head.
"No, you've helped a lot already. I think I am just going to walk for a bit, think things out," Yang nodded and strapped Ruby's helmet to the seat and drove off, leaving Ruby near a couple of pet shops. She walked closer and looked at all the cute puppies in the window, saying hello to a few and giggling at how cute they were. She looked into the store and saw her, Emerald, buying some bowls and food for cats. She watched the girl leave and walk down an alley. Ruby curiously followed Emerald, watching carefully from a distance. Emerald turned around a corner and Ruby ran to catch up to her. As she turned, she felt a blade was placed at her throat.
"Why are you following me?" Ruby panicked and was about to scream when Emerald put her hand over Ruby's mouth. "Relax. Just answer the question," Ruby nodded, the hand pulling away but the knife remaining.
"I umm...I came looking for you...to thank you properly," Emerald slowly pulled her knife away. As she did, a large group of kittens started meowing at her, some rubbing against her legs. Emerald put her sickle away and smiled, leaning down to play with a lot of them.
"You any good with pets?" Ruby nodded and scratched two behind their ears and smiled as they purred. Emerald poured a lot of cat food into a bowl and placed it onto the ground. Most of the cats ran to the food and began eating.
"Wow, you're like a mom to them," Emerald for the first time blushed and giggled.
"Thank you, Ruby. So why did you come here? I can already guess it wasn't just to watch me feed some stray cats," Ruby stood up and blushed.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you. Would it be alright if we could get some coffee?" Emerald cocked her head and looked at Ruby.
"Like a date?" Emerald suggested with a hint of mischief behind her question Ruby's turning a deeper shade of red than her cape.
"No not like a date. I mean I would like that, but I mean not yet. I mean I would like to date you yes," Ruby covered her mouth. "I just said that."
While Ruby was beating herself up about what she said, Emerald had things racing through her mind. Should she just run? Should she say yes to the coffee? She just said she wanted to date me. Should I have just let her die. No, she seems innocent and nice, and above all that cute. Emerald stood up and looked Ruby up and down, who was muttering to herself about saying things she shouldn't have said. Emerald saw her body complimented by her outfit, the skirt showing her innocence and juvenile nature, but her stocking showing off her more feminine features. Emerald blushed a little and could see Ruby about to burst.
Ruby was muttering things that she didn't even know she was saying. She could feel two cold hands touch the side of her face, causing her to stop. Ruby blushed massively as she felt her lips locked with Emerald's, the warmth of her lips sending chills down her back. Ruby leaned back into the kiss, wrapping her hands around Emerald's neck. Feeling Emerald push her tongue into her own mouth made Ruby moan. She pulled away so the pair could breathe. Emerald smiled and held Ruby's cheek.
"Now how about we go and get that coffee?" Ruby smiled and nodded, holding a hand out to her new friend.
"Ruby Rose, glad to have made your acquaintance," Emerald grinned and shook her hand, keeping her hold on it.
"Emerald Sustrai, same to you," Ruby and Emerald walked down the street, holding hands as they went toward a local café.
