Disclaimer: This is the first fanfic I've ever done, so please excuse any mistakes. I do not own RWBY. If you do not know what RWBY is I suggest you search it, as it is an awesome show (well, towards the second season I personally think. lol) I adore the characters as you learn more about them. This story is to parallel the original story. Again, I do not own RWBY. There are scenes in this story that are from the actual show, just to show you at what point in time everything is happening. This will soon become more of a mature rating, but for the time being, this is just showing you how it all started out. Season 2 and 3 will go more into the twos relationship.

RWBY
Season 1
Blake x Yang
Chapter 1
The first time Yang met Blake was not at the first years sleep over; It was after Ruby had exploded Weiss's dust. Blake had met those two while finding somewhere quiet to sit down and read her book. She decided to head towards the school, maybe she could find the school's library.
"Noise everywhere." She muttered under her breath, exiting the schools library.
If she could she would put her ears flat to her head in order to cover up the noise, however that would mess the bow up that was covering her true identity.
She already put her belongings in her locker for the time being; until they were assigned rooms. When she had first arrived and gotten off her ride, someone from the school approached her and asked what her name was.
"Blake Belladona." Blake said.
"Here." The person said and handed her a little welcoming bag of items and a tag. "This is your locker number where you can store all your belongings for the time being. If you look in your bag you will find a map of the school grounds and where the lockers and dorms are located. You have not yet been assigned to a dorm so your locker shall do."
She grabbed everything of hers, which wasn't much as she didn't really have many items, a couple changes of clothes, a stack of books, weapon repair items. But nothing to fancy or heavy, she was able to fit it all in one case. She located the lockers quickly and put her items in taking out the book she wanted, and the school map as she figured it would be a good thing to look at in case she got lost.
As she exited the place where her belongings were, she stumbled upon Ruby and Weiss for the first time, once that was settled she continued to look for a place to sit starting to become frustrated at all the noise on the campus. So she walked around the grounds for a little while.
"Maybe they are all inside?" She said hoping, however that wasn't true.
She heard noises off to the side and looked over to see this blazing blonde chatting animatedly with what appeared to be her friends around her. Blake just then felt a range of emotions she couldn't understand. She didn't know if it was due to being all alone now that she left all she knew behind and had no one to chat with, or if there was something more, something that intrigued her about the blonde. Just then she saw the forest behind where the blonde and her friends were sitting and thought that would be the perfect place to hide and read her book until they were called in for the assembly.
As she purposefully walked by them, book in hand she peered out of the corner of her book to look up at the blonde which just happened to look back at her. The blonde smiled at her and waved, Blake smiled back then quickly looked away and tried to hide the blush on her face. She trailed off into the forest and soon came upon a glistening lake. She decided this would be the perfect place to relax before school actually started.
As Yang chatted with her friends she saw this black haired cutie walk up to them reading a book, something in her told her to try to get the attention of this girl, just as luck would have it, the girl looked up at her so Yang waved and smiled. The girl smiled back but quickly looked back in her book, her face getting a little flushed and walked off into the forest. Yang figured the girl was just shy. She then thought of her sister and wondered how she was getting along with others.
"Maybe if I see her again, I'll introduce Ruby. Plus it'll give me a chance to talk to her." Yang thought to herself.
Yang and her friends decided to explore the campus more instead of just sitting there. They found out where the cafeteria was at, where the library and dorms were at, and the showers as well as the gym. Which was perfect for her cause she used all of them, well mostly all of them. She didn't really read that much unless she was on the search for information. But everything else was perfect. She hoped her room would be in the middle of it all for easy access.
About two hours after Yang and her friends started to explore, Bells chimed and a voice rang out. "Would all students please come to the grand hall, all students to the grand hall. It is time to start the introduction ceremony."
Blake heard distant bells then a voice ring out calling all students to the grand hall. She guessed that was her cue to get up and leave the peaceful area and headed towards the school. She saw all the kids piling in and decided to stay off to the side, hiding. She still didn't fully trust humans and didn't feel like being bothered with them right off the back. However she did see other faunas in the crowed. Some with horns, there was a girl with bunny ears. It looked like a small mixture, but how could it be any bigger when a lot of the faunas followed Adam? Just thinking about that filled her with anger. She saw the blonde towards the front middle with that girl in red that blew up the heiress. The girl in red jumped in the blonde girl's arms looking at the heiress behind her. Blake wondered if they made up as she saw the heiress hand her something. But the blonde caught her eye mostly. Just then the headmaster started to speak, welcoming the students, but said he see's wasted energy in need of purpose and direction. Blake was rather annoyed at his speech, but listened on. He talked about how knowledge can only take you so far, and that it was up to the students to take the first step. Then the vice headmistress walked up and announced where they were sleeping tonight and said initiation started tomorrow.
The kids started to file out to grab their belongings from the locker room. Blake supposed she could as well, she walked out of the grand hall towards the lockers where they had put their belongings. She found her locker and grabbed a pair of pajamas and a book, as well as a sleeping bag, then headed towards the changing rooms, she changed into her pajamas then went back to put her clothes away, then headed to the ballroom. She was one of the first few there, she found a cozy corner and laid out her sleeping bag. She sat down next to it and started to read one of her books. She ate a snack she brought with her as she read and noticed how the students slowly piled in. She hardly paid any attention to them, however a gold fleck caught her eye. She noticed it was the blonde with the redhead, maybe they knew each other? The redhead looked much younger than everyone else at beacon, who knows, maybe she wasn't. She looked back at the blonde and noticed her checking all the boys out. Something in her dropped. She didn't know why this bothered her, so she tried to dismiss the feeling she was having.
Yang plopped down next to her sister making small talk about all the half naked guys there. Of course that was just play talk, Yang made fun of them, not in a mean way, more encouraging. But they just weren't what she wanted. She never really told Ruby, but she liked girls. Guys were more like sparring partners to get stronger.
Ruby was writing something, so Yang inquired about what it was. Ruby stated that it was a letter to her friends back at signal. Her friends didn't come with her as she was 2 years younger than everyone and the headmaster granted her into beacon for whatever reason. This made Yang worry less. She cared about her sister. Ever since their, well Ruby's mother died she had to take care of Ruby all herself, their dad was on missions all the time coming back every once in awhile. Their uncle Qrow was around a little bit as he was a teacher at signal, So they weren't completely alone. Ruby took it hard when her mother died, and Yang felt the need to fill her shoes. She did the best she could but it was hard for her as well. Yang's mother was never around, her mother had ran out on their dad when she was younger, so Ruby's mom helped raise Yang as well. With Ruby with her at beacon she could still watch out for her sister's back, and not have to worry that her sister is up to no good back at signal, god knows what Qrow would have her do, always drunk and irresponsible. She knew Ruby needed to make friends at beacon cause her other friends wouldn't come to beacon for another two years, which by then her and ruby would be upperclassmen. Ruby said it was weird not knowing anyone there so Yang suggested Jaune, then Ruby countered about Weiss being a negative friend.
"I don't think there are negative friends Ruby. What you made was one friend and one enemy." Yang said and laughed to herself. Ruby threw a pillow at her.
Yang tried to comfort her by saying it was only the first day and there were still more people to meet. Then they both heard a noise in the corner and looked over, there was that girl in black from earlier Yang thought to herself.
"That girl." Ruby said quietly.
"You know her?" Yang said wanting to know more about her.
"Not really. She saw what happened this morning but left before I could say anything." Ruby replied.
"Well, now's your chance!" Yang said excited, she wanted a reason to talk to her.
Yang got up and pulled Ruby with her and walked over to her. Ruby struggled and pulled her arm free.
"Hellooo!" Yang said waving.
The girl peered up to look at them.
"I believe you two may know each other?" Yang said trying to look for a way to start a conversation.
"Arent you the girl that exploded?" The girl asked.
"Uhh...haha, yeah." Ruby said. "My name is Ruby."
Ruby stuck out her hand to shake the girls then held it back and tried to make a lame joke. The girl seemed unamused.
"What are you doing?" Yang asked. This wasn't off to a good start.
"I don't know, help me!" Ruby replied.
"SO! What's your name?" Yang asked, trying to get at least THAT much information.
"Blake." She replied.
"Well Blake, Im Yang! Ruby's older sister!" Yang said.
So they were sisters Blake thought. She was kind of happy in a way that Yang took the initiative to come over and try to talk to her even though it felt awkward for them all.
"I like your bow!" Yang said trying.
"Thanks." Blake said hoping Yang wouldn't get closer to see that her ears were hidden.
"It goes with your pajamas!" She kept trying.
"Right" Blake replied.
Ruby laughed nervously.
"Nice night don't you think?" Yang asked.
"Yes, its lovely. Almost as lovely as this book." Blake said. She didn't know why she said it, she wanted to talk to her more, but she just felt like it was the wrong time to talk about anything, and besides people were trying to go to sleep. "That I will continue to read...As soon as you leave."
This cut Yang deep. She was just trying to be nice! What was up with this girl?
"Yeah, this is a lost cause." Yang said spitefully to Ruby.
Meanwhile Ruby wasn't paying attention to her and asked. "What's it about?"
Of course Ruby would be interested. She read a lot.
"Your book, does it have a name?" Ruby asked as the girl looked up at her.
"Well it's about this man who has two souls, each fighting for control over his body." Blake said.
"Oh yeah... That's real lovely." Yang said, all this book talk was boring her.
"I love books." Ruby said.
Well maybe Ruby will get a friend out of this after all. Yang thought. After all that's what she wanted for Ruby anyway. She was just hoping to get to know Blake more, but she didn't seem her type anyway.
"Yang use to read to me every night before bed." Ruby said "Stories of heros and monsters. They're one of the reasons I want to become a huntress."
"Why is that?" Blake asked with a smile.
She was cute, even if she was rather dull to talk to, Yang thought.
"hoping you'll leave happily ever after?" Blake asked.
"I hope we all will." Ruby replied. "As a girl I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books. Someone who fought for what was right, and protected those who couldn't protect themselves!"
"That's very ambitious for a child." Blake said. "unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."
I learned that lesson the hard way Blake thought.
"Well, that's why we're here." Ruby said. "To make it better."
"Oh! I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Yang said then hugged Ruby.
Ruby seemed hot headed cause then they got into a little fight. I guess that's what you do when you have sisters. Blake thought to herself glancing at them. They probably think I'm dull, but I don't know if that's such a bad thing any way. But they don't seem so bad. Maybe I can become friends with them. But they were really loud and people were trying to sleep, Blake figured she would try to talk with them tomorrow but tonight for them to go to bed.
"Ruby, Yang it's been-" Blake tried to talk.
"What in the world is going on over here?!" A girl shouted out. "Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?!"
"Oh not you again!" Yang and Weiss shouted at once.
So then they weren't friends? Blake watched as the whole thing unfurled.
"Guys, she's right. People are trying to sleep." Ruby said trying to be more quiet.
The blonde had the looks, and so did Ruby in a way, even though she was much younger than her. But Blake had a feeling that she would get along better with Ruby then she would Yang.
"Oh, now you're on my side." The heiress said.
"I was always on your side!" Ruby retorted.
"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice!" Yang said being protective over Ruby.
This was going to get bad if something wasn't going to be done.
"She's a hazard to my health." Weiss said.
Blake picked up the candles she lit to read her book, then blew them out. Hoping they would go away and leave everything be. Which was what happened.
"Ugh!" Weiss grunted. "Just keep it down and go to sleep!"
"Fine!" Yang shouted and pulled Ruby back to their cots trying to not trip over the others.
Weiss had stormed off too. The good thing about being a faunus was that she could see in the dark. She watched as the two sisters trolloped off, almost falling on someone. She supposed she should get some sleep as well, she didn't know what the headmaster had in store for the initiation. She crawled in her sleeping bag and covered her head, hoping no one would see her before she woke up the next morning.
The morning sun rays hit her face and she woke up yawning. Only a few others were up, or stirring to get up. She checked her bow, it was slightly off so she scooted down into her bag a little and tightened it making sure it wouldn't fall off. She got up, rolled up her sleeping bag packing up her few belongings she had with her and headed towards the lockers to get ready for the day.
She saw the blonde in there getting ready.
"I didn't peg you as an early riser." Blake said.
"Yeah well you know, I couldn't sleep. I am so excited about coming here!" Yang said seemingly in a good mood.
"Aren't you tired?" Blake asked.
"Kind of, but not really. I did sleep some, I just woke up early and was thinking about the day ahead. It was weird, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and thought I saw three loopy things on your bow. But I figured it was just my imagination." Yang said smiling.
Blake blushed. "Oh. Probably." She tried to play it off.
"What?" Yang asked.
"Nothing. It might have also been its shadow." Blake said still trying to play it off.
"Right." Yang said.
Blake felt it was going as well as last night went. Not well at all.
"Well, im going to get ready now." Blake said. "Nice to meet you... Again."
"You too!" Yang said.
Blake went to go take a shower and change into her normal clothes.
"Hmm, weird." Yang thought. "Oh well." She watched Blake walk off. Then heard her stomach rumble. "Food!"
She walked out in search of a cafeteria, Ruby was still sleeping. She wondered if she was able to bring food for her. As she walked into the cafeteria she smelled all the food coming from the kitchen, she walked up to the buffet looking line and looked at all the simmering food. She started to drool. There was a man there that was balding on top of his head and grey spikey hair on around his head.
"Umm, excuse me? Can I take food out of here?" Yang asked.
The old man nodded.
"Do I serve myself?" Yang asked.
The man nodded again.
"Ok..." Yang said then grabbed two plates and a tray, she piled a lot on her plate wanting to try everything and knowing she and Ruby had a big day ahead of them so she wanted to make sure they were full. She grabbed two glasses of milk and two glasses of water then headed out of the cafe balancing everything on one tray.
She made it to the ballroom and Ruby was stirring a little she plopped down next to her.
"RUBY! WAKE UP!" Yang said loudly.
"HUH! WHAT? WHERE ARE THE GRIM! I'LL GET THEM! HIIIYA!" Ruby said jolting up and punching the air. "What? oh..."
Ruby looked over and saw the fest before her.
"Oh Yang, you're the best sister ever! Is it all for me?" Ruby asked.
"Pshh, NO! I need to eat something too you dolt." Yang replied handing Ruby a plate, a cup of milk and a cup of water.
They ate making small talk and talking about the day to come. Once they were finished, they cleaned up and went to the locker room, Yang went to show her sister where the locker rooms were again.
Blake took a nice long shower, she wanted to look her best today and to make a good impression on the others, and she wanted to hide that she use to be part of the white fang. She no longer felt like they were doing what they first set out, her and their leader Adam had a history together, but not any more. He changed, and so had she.
She finished showering and found she took longer than expected as almost everyone was now finished getting up and ready. The locker rooms were almost cleared out. Her stomach growled.
"No time for food." She muttered. She went to her locker and grabbed some trail mix and snacked on it a little then headed out as she heard the overhead summon them to beacon cliffs.
"Please stand on one platform each." The vice headmistress addressed. The headmaster was looking out in the distance as students piled out. As she was one of the first ones there, she was to the far left. She watched as everyone came out, the last two who came out was the boy she heard rumors that got sick on a ship, and Ruby. Yang was right next to her, maybe they were planning on being on the same team.
The headmasters started to talk about how things were going to go. The assignment of teams, what you are suppose to do in the emerald forest, and other things. They warned that whoever your teammates will be at the end of this, will be with you until your time was over at beacon. Blake was figuring that she wouldn't mind being on a team with Yang or Ruby, she didn't know how she felt about Pyrrha. There was that loud girl in pink hanging out with a silent guy in green, then the others she didn't feel she would fit well with... she knew she had to stay away from the heiress. Far, far away.
"The first person you make eye contact with, will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin stated.
Blake heard some rumblings from the others, she just hoped that who ever it would be, would be a good match for her.
He then went on about what they were suppose to do, where to go and find the relics and what they are for. That each pair must choose one relic to bring back. He asked if there were any questions, however didn't even consider to take any.
He told everyone to get ready, so Blake did and crouched down thinking she had to run off the side of the cliff, she wondered if all of them would go at once, or one at a time.
Just then she was catapulted into the air.
"What the-" Blake said, but made sure she readied herself to land, she heard others being launched behind her. Soon she saw the others next to her heading in different directions. Then they all started to fall farther down. Blake took out her weapon and swung it at a tree, as it latched like a grappling hook she swung through the trees, in midair she took it back then used it again. She made her way to the ground and landed perfectly. Then started to walk figuring out what she was going to do next. It only took a few minutes then she heard a girl screaming and some grim growling, she ran in that direction and saw Yang being attacked by an Ursa grim. She took out her weapon and sliced the Ursa from the back. She pulled her weapon out of the beast and put it away, Smiling at Yang.
"I could have taken him." Yang said smiling back.
"Sure." Blake replied.
Well I guess it wasn't so bad to have Yang as a partner the rest of her time at beacon, at least she was strong. Blake assessed what was going on, Yang probably could have taken these grim.
"So, uh... I guess we are partners till we graduate." Yang said.
"Yes, It appears so." Blake replied.
"So partner, which way should we start heading?" Yang asked.
"I think we should head this way." Blake said pointing in a direction.
"Cool, I was going to say the same thing!" Yang said, Blake had a feeling she wasn't going to pick that direction, but Yang lead the way regardless.
"So, how are you enjoying your time at beacon?" Yang asked.
"Its fine." Blake said not really making conversation.
"So breakfast is good here." Yang said.
"Is it?" Blake asked, Then deciding that one day she would have to actually hold a conversation with Yang as they were now partners, to try to make small talk. "I took to long of a shower this morning, I didn't have time to eat."
"Oh so that's what smells so good!" Yang blurted out, Then blushed. "I mean, you have really nice soap."
"Uhh, thanks..." Blake said, not really knowing what to say to that.
"After this, I could show you where the cafeteria is at." Yang offered.
"That would be really nice. Thank you." Blake said and smiled at her.
"I guess she is just shy and guarded. She's not so bad once you get her to open up a little. And that smile. And the way she smells...I guess it's a good thing I have a clean partner for the rest of our time here." Yang thought silently to herself.
They walked on a little in silence.
"So, what ever happened to your group of friends?" Blake asked.
"Hmm?" Yang replied.
"Well yesterday you were with a group of people, but during opening ceremony and last night you were with Ruby." Blake went on.
"Oh, Well I see them around. I mean Ruby seemed put out last night so I decided to stick with her and try to get her friends." Yang said.
"Oh, was that what that was all about last night?" Blake asked.
"Yes..." Yang said. "And no."
"Oh?" Blake replied.
"I was curious about you from yesterday." Yang said.
"You were? Why?" Blake asked.
"Jeez, I don't know! I just was!" Yang shouted.
"No need to yell!" Blake replied.
"I wasn't!" Yang yelled again.
"Hmmf." Blake glared into the distance.
They walked a little more then came upon an area encircled with stone. There were pillars with little figured on them.
"Is this it?" Yang asked in a normal tone.
Blake just looked at her then continued forward.
They arrived down their to see that the figures were chess pieces.
"Chess pieces?" Blake asked.
"Some of them are missing." Yang replied. "Looks like we weren't the first ones here."
"Well, I guess we should pick one." Blake said.
"Which one?" Yang asked.
"I don't know, maybe there is a test to which one we get?" Blake suggested.
"Maybe," Yang replied. "How about a cute little pony!"
"Sure." Blake said rolling her eyes.
"That wasn't to hard!" Yang said smiling.
"Its not like this place is very difficult to find." Blake retorted and smiled ignoring that Yang had yelled at her only moments before they arrived there.
"So now what?" Yang asked.
"We could head back?" Blake said.
"Ok!" Yang said. "But maybe we should wait a few more minutes, to see who else hasnt been here."
"You mean to see if your sister was one who picked up a piece yet."
"Maybe." Yang said blushing looking away. "Its just when our mom died, I started to take over that position. She's my kid sister and I worry about her."
"No, its fine." Blake said. "I don't have any siblings, but I understand." Blake said then sat on a rock, Yang followed. The two of them started to make small talk, It being as awkward as ever, however both finding comfort in the others presence.
"Well its been a few minutes." Yang said getting up and stretching. "Maybe Ruby made it here before me."
"Maybe." Blake said standing up.
"HEADS UPPPP!" They heard a loud cry from above and looked up.
It was Ruby falling from the sky, and the next minute she got hit from the side by Juane, and they both crashed into the trees.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked.
"I-" Yang started to say something but then saw some trees move in front of them. And watched as two people crashed through the clearing Riding an ursa calling each other Nora and Ren. Meanwhile Blake and Yang were dumbfounded as the girl Nora grabbed the white castle piece then ran off to Ren after he yelled at her.
"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Yang asked.
"I-" Blake started Then heard a loud noise coming off from the side. It was world famous Pyrrha being chased by a deathstalker.
Ruby jumped out of the tree and ran over to Yang, then Nora reappeared out of no where. "Did she just run all the way here with a deathstalker on her tail?" Blake asked.
Yang was starting to feel furious about how random everything was happening at once. They waited all those minutes, and now everything was happening all at one time.
"UGH! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! CAN EVERYONE JUST CHILL OUT TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN?!" Yang burst out.
Just then Ren caught up with Nora who was still next to them.
"Um, Yang?" Ruby said and looked up at the sky.
Weiss was still holding onto the nevermore, Ruby said that she told her to let go, Everyone was staring up at the sky now. She let go and started to fall through the air, just then Jaune jumped out from the trees and tried to catch her, the only problem was, was that he didn't figure out that he needed to land. So they came crashing down to the ground, Jaune plumbed by Weiss, Weiss unaffected due to landing on Jaune.
Just then, the deathstalker hit Pyrrha over to them all.
"Great the gangs all here! Now we can die together!" Yang said sarcastically.
"Not if I can help it." Ruby said.
Ruby made a dash towards the deathstalker, Yang chased after her fearing she would get hurt, however Weiss made it there faster and protected Ruby. Yang held off for a moment looking at Ruby and Weiss. Maybe she no longer needed her older sisters help, even though Weiss didn't seem to like Ruby any more then yesterday, she didn't hesitate to protect her back. Weiss then started to talk to Ruby, Yang couldn't really hear what she was saying, but it looked as if she was finally accepting Ruby as her partner, as she was smiling at her gently. Yang continued to run towards Ruby as Weiss was walking away.
"Im so happy you're ok!" Yang said.
Blake was still back where she was first at. She didn't really have a family, but felt a twinge of jealousy as she saw Yang hug Ruby. She wished she had someone who cared about her unconditionally. She had Adam, but then he started to get...To much. Her ideals and his were far to different. He wanted to eradicate the whole human race, she just wanted there to be equal rights for faunas in the human world.
The nevermore was circling back, the deathstalker was becoming unstuck, they needed to hurry out of there before something bad happened. Ruby and Jaune picked up 2 pieces then they all started to head out. Yang watched as her sister went off into the distance.
"What is it?" Blake asked.
"Nothing." Yang said smiling at Blake.
There was no use in trying to run, the nevermore was following them. They were going to have to fight it. The deathstalker got lose as well. They needed to figure out things quickly. They ran towards the cliff and soon began to fight. Ruby devised a plan then took the lead. The other team seemed to have their fight under control as well. Once they were done they came and helped the other team. Even though Ruby and Weiss had finished everything before anything even was able to be done, just like that it was over. Both teams had made it out alive, conquering each of their Grim.
"Well that was a thing." Yang said. "How about some lunch now?"
"WOO!" Yang heard Ruby yell from the top of the cliff. Her little sister really didn't need her anymore. The other team caught up with them and they headed up and back to beacon to grab a bite to eat. Yang stayed near Blake and tried to include her into the group. Yang always found it easy to fit in, she wasn't use to having someone as silent as Blake as a friend though. She felt bad when ever the conversation seemed to exclude her, which didn't happen to often at the time being as each team were going on about how they defeated their monsters.
"Can I have a bowl with fish?" Blake asked the old man in the cafeteria.
He nodded then gave her a heaping bowl of ramen topped with six fish.
The group found a table and started to eat their lunch. Blake didn't realize how hungry she actually had been and ate extremely fast. Yang watched her, she acted like a little kitten eating her food. She thought that was adorable. And wondered if she had a cat relative, After all it wasn't to far fetched as faunas were everywhere, not that she had anything against them.
"YAYYYY!" Ruby shouted from the side about something her, Nora and Weiss were discussing. Jaune and Pyrrha we're talking, Juane seemed really excited about something and Pyrrha was smiling at him seemingly finding him amusing. Ren and Blake were silent as they ate. Yang was just looking at every one around her. She hadnt seen her other friends all day other then getting ready to be launched into the forest, and wondered what was going on with them.
Yang stood up saying she needed to use the little girls room. Ruby went with her. The two chatted as they went, Yang saw her friends coming from the opposite direction and waved to them. They ignored her looking away. Yang was confused on why they didn't want to speak to her.
"Jeez, what's up with them?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know." Yang said in a sad tone.
As she and Ruby were finishing up in the bathroom, the intercom told all students to report to the grand hall, It was time to form groups. Ruby and Yang entered the grand hall finding that their current group were already there waiting.
"Did we miss anything?" Ruby asked.
"No, we are all still gathering." Weiss replied.
They waited a little bit chatting with each other. Then it started, Professor Ozpin stood on the front stage with two screens behind him and announced each team. It was Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang for team RWBY. Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren for team JNPR. They all were excited and high fived each other.
Ozpin waited for the cheers to die down then spoke. "Now you are in teams, it's true what I said about the forest, the ones you first made eye contact with will be your partner for the rest of your school year, so will your team. It is my hope that you will learn to care for one another as if they were your own family. Have each others backs in times of need. Classes start tomorrow so get a good night's rest after you have put all your belongings in your assigned dorms."
With that all the kids filed out of the grand hall and went on their ways. Team RWBY and JNPR went to the lockers together and grabbed all their items finding out where their assigned rooms were going to be, much to their excitement, RWBY and JNPR were right across the hall from each other.
"WHOO! Im beat!" Nora said and stretched after plopping all her items down in their room.
RWBY entered their room to find four beds and not a lot of space. Each girl claimed a bed and set their items down next to it.
"I'm going out to explore a little, i'll be back later." Yang said then got up and walked out. She was actually trying to look for her friends to see what that was all about earlier, she saw they had formed a team themselves, so it should be easy to track them all down in one room.
It wasn't long before Yang found their room then knocked. A girl opened the door and Yang barged in.
"Hey guys! Whats up?" Yang said walking in.
"It's always you and your sister isn't it?" the girl said closing the door.
"What?" Yang asked dumbfounded.
"You always have to look out for her, she is fifteen! she can look out for herself!" A guy said.
"But she's my sister!" Yang defended.
"But you didn't have to be on her team!" another said.
"I kind of did..." Yang said silently. "It's not like I can change the rules."
"You didn't have to find her in the forest! Maybe we needed your help too!" the girl said.
"I didn't find her first!" Yang said. "You know what? I don't have to explain myself to you guys. Shes my family! This team just happened. I suggested that she find a team of her own, us forming up was just a coincidence."
Blake had followed Yang out as she wanted to explore some too and thought they could do it together, however Yang was walking extremely fast as if she was trying to get somewhere, by the time Blake was passing the room Yang's friends were in, she heard Yang shouting, the next minute Yang stormed out of the room with her eyes red. Breathing heavily.
"What?!" Yang asked a little to hot headed. She didn't mean to be short with Blake. But she didn't know how to handle the feelings that were festering deep inside her. Blake just looked at her surprised and shook her head. Yang tried to calm her breathing.
"I'm sorry." Yang said.
"It's ok. Want to talk about it?" Blake asked. "I was going to look around the school grounds for a little, want to walk with me?"
"Sure." Yang said. "It's just..."
Blake listened patiently as Yang went off about how much Ruby meant to her. And how her friends didn't like that, which wasn't fair cause all she had was Ruby for family. She didn't get on their cases about their families.
"Well, maybe they truly weren't your friends?" Blake suggested.
"Maybe not." Yang sad and gritted her teeth.
"But now you have us." Blake went on.
"I know Ruby is the only one you're close to right now, but if we are truly going to be a team till we graduate, I'm sure all of us are going to get closer before then. And since Ruby is our leader, we are all stuck with her like glue."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Yang got short.
"What? I didn't mean anything bad by it. I just meant that you can have Ruby as well as friends, as we are all together. And team JNPR seem to like us as well. So if your old friends don't like Ruby then they lost a good friend. Meanwhile we have gained you." Blake tried to explain.
Yang stopped in mid step and started to laugh. Just then she hugged Blake, much to Blake's surprise. Blake smiled then hugged back.
"Want to see a spot I found yesterday?" Blake asked.
"Sure!" Yang said seemingly in a much better mood.
Blake led the way, taking her to that little lake she found. It was starting to become dusk and the sun was setting in front of them, shining its rays through the trees as gold and green meshed into an abstract wonderland of color. When they arrived by the lake the sun was already below the horizon so it didn't blind them, instead it lit up the sky with the clouds reflecting colors making it seem as if the sky was on fire.
"I have a feeling this year is going to be quite an exciting one." Yang said and sat against a tree taking in the whole view. "It's so beautiful here."
Blake smiled and sat next to her. "It is." agreeing with her.
"But maybe Ruby doesn't need me anymore. After all she is the leader now." Yang said looking down.
"Ruby will always need you." Blake stated. "You are her older sister."
Yang smiled halfheartedly then closed her eyes and leaned against the tree.
As Yang slowly drifted off, she started to lean against Blake. Blake let her just taking in the scene around them. They sat there until most of the sun had disappeared from the sky. Blake knew she could see fine in the dark, but she didn't want Yang to trip on anything before it got too dark. So Blake woke Yang up and they headed back towards the school.
When they entered the room Ruby and Weiss were going on about something unimportant however both were already in their pajamas, both Blake and Yang got their pajamas out and started to change. Nether were ashamed of their bodies or changing in front of others. Yang happened to look over at Blake before Blake had put on her top, same with Blake before Yang put on her top, their thoughts were almost exactly the same. They found an attraction with the other and both looked away before the other could see either blushing.
Yang decided it was lights out as she was beat from theday'ss events and not really being able to sleep the night before. All agreed and went to bed.
Chapter 2
Both Blake and Ruby were up by the time Yang awoke, she felt rough and figured a shower would wake her up.
"I'm going to get breakfast." Blake said. "Anybody want me to get something for them?"
"Ohh!" Ruby burst out. "If they have those one things with meat and eggs and a fluffy bun, that would be good. And some milk. I'm a growing girl after all!"
"Ditto." Yang said and laughed.
"Ok, I'll be back shortly." Blake said.
"Me too, I have to shower."
So they parted, leaving Ruby with Weiss. By the time both of them came back The heiress was still sleeping.
"Let her sleep." Yang said. "Then she won't have any say on where I can put my things."
"No, it's only fair she should be up too." Ruby said. So she took out her whistle and as Weiss was slowly yawning and waking up, Ruby blew on the whistle hard startling Weiss out of bed. She was the last one up and to be dressed.
The girls explained that they wanted to set up their room and unpack and make it feel more homey. Weiss then understood and along with the others started to decorate with them. Once finished, the beds had no room so Ruby suggested bunk beds. Weiss was the only one who protested, however she seemed happy about it anyway. So the girls started on that then Ruby announced classes start at 9, which it was almost 9 so they dashed out to their first class. Team JNPR along with them.
Their first class was a bore although Weiss seemed to be interested in writing something down, Ruby was practically asleep. Yang and Blake were staring into space thinking about what happened last night. Just then the teacher clicked at Yang which made her extremely uncomfortable and he started to ramble on. The teacher then called for a volunteer, Weiss raised her hand and offered to do it, however Weiss had a furious temper going, and she seemed to take it out on Ruby, which made Yang upset as Ruby didn't do anything to Weiss.
"Spoiled rich brat." Yang muttered.
As Weiss steadied herself to fight whatever was in the cage the teacher had, she yelled at Ruby again, the teacher then unlocked the cage and let out the grim. Weiss seemed to struggle a little, then Ruby yelled out that there was no armor under the grimms belly and Weiss yelled at her. This angered Yang as Ruby was just trying to help, after all they were teammates and Ruby was their leader.
"Whats wrong with her today." Blake asked.
"Shes being a bitch." Yang said.
Just then she slayed the grim.
"At least she's a strong bitch." Blake said.
Yang furrowed her brow, gritting her teeth.
Class was dismissed, Ruby ran after Weiss. While Blake and Yang went on their own way. Physical training was a next class, Ruby nor Weiss showed up for it, which left just Yang and Blake. Each pair had to spar with their partner to learn their strengths and weaknesses. The two danced as if they could read each other's minds, before they knew it this class was dismissed. Each of them panting for breath.
"You are good." Yang said to Blake.
"You're not so bad yourself." Blake replied. They got cleaned up a little then attended the rest of their classes, which neither Ruby nor Weiss appeared to show up in. They went back to their dorms to find Ruby studying on her bed.
"Hey little sis, where have you been all day?" Yang asked.
"What?" Ruby asked.
"You didn't show up for any of the other classes." Blake said.
"OH NO!" Ruby exclaimed. "I forgot about them after my fight with Weiss!"
"You had another fight with Weiss?" Yang asked startled.
"Yes, well...no" Ruby started to explain what happened.
"She just has to get over herself." Yang said.
"she's probably use to the life of luxury and ruling. She doesn't know how to be led, only take the lead." Blake said.
"Yeah, you might be right. But still, I don't mean to make her mad." Ruby said under her breath.
Yang jumped up to Ruby's bed and put an arm around her. "Its not you Ruby! She has things she's dealing with internally." Yang pointed to her head. "Right now she's probably figuring out how to undermine you and change teams."
"Which she can't do." Blake interrupted.
"So just take a breath and be you, one day she will have to learn to accept you." Yang said. "But I think i'm going to go to bed early, unlike some people, Blake and I actually attended all of our classes."
"I think i'm going to go to sleep too." Blake said getting her pajamas out.
Then Yang hopped down and grabbed her things and started to change, both Yang and Blake got in bed. Blake was thinking about yesterday how Yang felt against her, Yang was thinking about how Blake fought earlier. She was diffidently skilled. Where had she learned moves like that? As both thought about each other they drifted off to sleep. Later on that night, Weiss had showed up. Yang was still asleep but the noise woke her up, as she listened to the conversation between Ruby and Weiss she smiled then turned over on her side. They will just have to learn to work it out themselves. Yang thought to herself. Ruby will be alright.
The next few weeks were a bit rocky. Weiss was at least trying to be nicer to Ruby, but every now and then she would lose it and go off ranting. Yang learned that it was just Weiss's problem, that her and Ruby would have to work it out. Her and Blake however were getting along smoothly. Yang's friends refused to speak to her so it was mostly team RWBY and team JNPR, however Blake and Yang started to become closer as Yang started to let go of Ruby little by little. Her and Blake were mentally on the same level, and even though Weiss was their age, she had a feeling that Weiss and Ruby were on their own level as well, so those pairings were just fine she thought to herself.
Yang couldn't help but watch Blake sometimes. The lake spot was their own spot, so far no one else had been there each of the time they had gone there. They helped each other out with homework and relaxed there. Each becoming more fond of the other as the days passed by. Nether really talked too much about their past life, instead they got to know each other's likes and dislikes. Yang thought it was adorable the way Blake would act sometimes. Blake was attached to Yang cause she was the first person to try to open her up, and she felt a certain attractiveness with how assertive Yang was with her. During meals team RWBY and JNPR ate together, Blake usually was off in her books as Yang talked with the others. However Blake secretly listened to everything Yang had to say when she talked. Yang studied Blake, she didn't seem like a normal human, some of her habits just weren't normal. Not that they were bad, as everyone was different in their own way, but Yang just couldn't put a finger on what was different with Blake.
As the weeks got closer to the Vytal festival, Weiss heard rumors of people arriving from Vacuo, so naturally she wanted to study them to try to learn their moves. As team RWBY arrived into town they saw a dust shop broken into. Weiss then went off about how the white fang must have done it, this made Blake defensive for some reason, even though Yang agreed with her, you can't always blame the faunas. Then they heard some noise coming from a ship and saw a boy leaping off of it, he moved like a monkey, as he ran by them trying to escape from the cops, he winked at Blake. This made the pit of Yang's stomach burn. How dare he wink at her? She thought to herself
Blake on the other hand wondered if he knew she was a faunas right from the start. Weiss started to chase ever him and team RWBY followed. All with different motives. Ruby wanted to meet him, Weiss wanted to study him and make sure he was alright, Blake wanted to talk to him about faunas stuff, and Yang wanted to punch him in a greeting sort of inconspicuous way.
How ever, none of them were able to as Weiss turned the corner she crashed into a girl and he got away.
This was the first time they met penny, she seemed a little odd Yang thought. She asked if she was alright, they all introduced themselves. Yang asked if she was sure she didn't hit her head.
Blake hit her forcing her to be nicer. Weiss apologized again then they started to walk off, Penny dashed in front of them and started to talk to Ruby in a creepy way.
"Whats with her?" Yang asked Blake.
Blake shrugged.
Then Weiss asked if penny knew the monkey boy in less then civilized ways, which offended Blake. Weiss didn't even know the guy and she was talking about him in a demeaning manner. How dare she!
"YOU IGNORANT LITTLE BRAT!" Blake lost it then started to walk off.
Weiss chased after her. They all were use to Weiss being a snob, however she felt passionately about this, and Blake felt passionately back.
Yang felt like this wasn't going to get better and figured they should go. Their argument lasted all night, up until they got to their rooms. Blake yelled how discriminatory Weiss was being, then she claimed to be the victim.
Blake was so hot headed now, but let Weiss explain that her family has been at war with them for years. Blood shed war. How she lost many loved ones she once knew. Blake simmered down a little. She might have been there when it happened and she wouldn't have known. Its one of the reasons Blake had left the white fang, she felt peace could be made through more civilized means then killing each other, Adam didn't feel that way though. She no longer could follow a leader that wanted to eradicate humanity. Not all humans were bad, just like not all faunas were bad. But there was no point in getting through to Weiss Blake figured.
"You want to know why I despise the white fang?" Weiss shouted. "Its because they are a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"
"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!" Blake shouted out angrily. And stared at Weiss, then as if she just realized she said something bad her expression changed.
Was she part cat? Yang wondered. That would explain her habits. So what if she was? Yang went to say something, but before she could Blake ran off.
"WAIT!" Yang shouted, then rounded on Weiss. "HOW COULD YOU!?"
"How could I?" Weiss defended. "What did I do?"
"You just couldn't let it go!" Yang yelled out furious with her. "So what if shes a faunas? Velvet is a faunas, but what harm did she ever do to you?!" Yang gritted her teeth. "WHAT HARM HAS BLAKE EVER DONE TO YOU!?"
Weiss looked away from Yang.
"You ran off our team member all because of your selfish bigotry way of thinking! Not all faunas are bad! But you just had to push her to say something she clearly wanted to hide!" Yang went on.
"WELL MAYBE SHE'S HIDING THE FACT SHE USE TO BE A PART OF THE WHITE FANG!?" Weiss said.
"SO WHAT IF SHE WAS?" Yang blurted out. SHE'SS NOT ANYMORE!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW?!" Weiss said.
This took Yang back a little, how DID she know?
"UGH!" Yang cried out her eyes red, then stormed out to run after Blake.
Yang hadn't cared if Blake was a faunas, let alone if she use to be a part of the white fang. She just wanted her team mate back before something bad happened to her. Over the past few weeks, Blake had started to become her best friend, and now she clearly was in pain. And there was nothing Yang could do about it until she found her. How could Weiss keep yelling at her all night? Why did I let it happen? Im such a stupid idiot!
Yang ran everywhere trying to find her, then she looked at their spot. Blake didn't want to be found at all, and she was probably good at hiding if she did use to be a part of the white fang. Yang decided to head back to the room, it had been a few hours, maybe she came back already. She tried to call her on her scroll on the way there, but couldn't get a hold of her. When she entered the room, Blake was nowhere to be found. Yang took her pajamas and a towel and headed towards the showers as she had worked up a sweat looking all over for her. How could she just leave me? Yang thought to herself. Maybe she was still part of the white fang and left beacon to be with them again. Why couldn't Blake just talk to at least Yang?
Blake didn't return all weekend. Everyone went looking for her to no avail. Then Ruby, Weiss and Yang were all walking in town still trying to find her.
"Look, there's only so many places we can look for her." Yang said.
"Do you want to give up on your teammate?" Ruby asked.
"No, I just..." Yang said and looked down.
"We'll find her!" Ruby encouraged. "Although she's been gone all weekend."
"Blakes a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself." Weiss said, Weiss didn't seem affected by this turn of event that had unfolded right before their very eyes.
"Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates." Yang pleaded. She was quite honestly sick of all the whining and complaining Weiss was doing.
"Is she?" Weiss asked sarcastically. "We all heard what she said."
Yang and Weiss started to halfheartedly argue about Blake as they continued to walk. Yang not knowing what to think anymore cause the only way she could get answers was by finding Blake, who was nowhere to be found.
Blake had dashed out of the room, she didn't want to be followed by anyone. She came upon a statue of a hunter and huntress standing victor on top of an ursa. What really makes Grim and faunas so different when the white fang are being just as bad as the grim? She took off her bow, letting her ears free for the first time in forever, other than when taking showers.
"I knew you'd look better without the bow." The monkey boy said. "Im sun. I didn't catch your name earlier."
"Blake." Blake said.
"So what are you doing out this late?" Sun asked.
"I could ask you the same." Blake retorted.
"Ohh, feisty!" Sun laughed.
They started to walk off to the middle of nowhere, Blake being silent trying to figure out what just happened. What might happen. Sun tried to make multiple attempts at conversation, but Blake didn't answer, he decided to stick with her as she looked helpless and upset. And he didn't want her to get attacked by someone or something if he could help it. He stuck by her side all weekend. They ate when they were hungry and did what they needed to, but Blake only said a few things here and there. Hardly anything worth mentioning. She had to figure out what her teammates thought of her now. Obviously Weiss hated her guts, Ruby might accept her, she seemed to be friends with anyone, at least she knew she still had one friend. However she didn't know how Yang would take it. I lied to them all, and specially Yang. We weren't that close, but I still kept it a secret from my own team.
Sun and Blake went to a coffee shop and sat down on the roof. Blake sighed then blurted out what was going on. And sun had smart remarks to counter them. She opened up fully to him, it felt so much easier to talk to him then it was the others, maybe because he was a faunas as well. She talked about how she use to be a member, and no longer was. And what made her become a member. They finished their coffee and headed out walking the streets again.
Then Blake and sun talked about the recent crimes going on. She couldn't believe it was the white fang, sun wondered if it was.
Meanwhile Yang walked off with Weiss for a little bit, however instead of sticking with Weiss, she walked off in her own direction after awhile. She just wanted time to think to herself. A few hours had passed, Weiss bumped back into Yang as Yang wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her.
"Hey watch it!" Weiss yelled.
"You watch it!" Yang retorted, then they heard loud noises coming from the docs.
They both started to run towards the docs, and when they arrived they saw Ruby, penny, Blake, and that monkey boy all sitting.
Ruby got up and started to defend Blake saying she explained the whole thing. So she talked to Ruby before she even talked to Yang? Yang was hurt, but figured Ruby was there before her or Weiss were. And maybe she just felt it was easier to open up to Ruby, Ruby did accept everyone after all. Yang watched as Blake and Weiss talked it out, she wanted to talk to Blake alone, maybe once they were all done there, what was that noise anyway?
"Just come to your teammates next time! And not someone else!" Weiss said.
So Weiss forgave Blake after all.
"Of course." Blake replied.
"YEAH! Team RWBY IS BACK TOGETHER!" Ruby shouted.
They headed back to the school and Blake's stomach rumbled.
"Oh, I guess I'm hungrier than I thought." Blake admitted.
"Have you seen our cafeteria sun?" Yang asked. She still didn't like him.
"Uh, no. I don't believe I have." Sun said.
Then Ruby went off on about how good the food was. Yang tugged on Blake's arm and held her back a little ways from the group as they walked.
"You know I'm your partner, you can tell me anything." Yang whispered.
"I know Yang, I was just scared." Blake said.
"I'll be on your side through anything." Yang said. "You just have to talk to me about things. I care about you."
"I care about you too." Blake said. Blake's stomach leaped when Yang told her she cared about her.
"You're like a sister I've never had!" Yang said loudly, then hugged Blake between her boobs hard, even though she realized how much more she actually felt about Blake. She could never admit it.
"HEY!" Ruby yelled, "What about me?"
"You are the little sister I'll always have!" Yang said then laughed, grabbing Ruby around the neck.
"Hey!" Ruby said struggling.
Weiss looked at the three and rolled her eyes, Sun looked confused but smiled.
This was indeed going to be an interesting year.
