Red Snow Chapter 1
The quite air surrounding Beacon's training grounds was shattered with .50 caliber sniper blasts and the clash of metal. Ruby and Weiss were engrossed in their battle. The sniper bounced with ease to avoid attacks and twirled around her weapon landing a few feet away.
Weiss huffed with slight annoyance and repositioned to send herself flying at her opponent. Ruby smiled at how determined Weiss looked, she adored the heiress ever since they met on the very first day of school. Ruby liked almost everything about her, her appearance, her talent and drive, and most importantly of all, the way she comes off as cold, but secretly cares more than anybody. Ruby repositioned herself as well, and lunged at her partner.
"Team RWBY, Please come with me". The two now flying girls' collided mid-air at the sound of Goodwitch's voice. The team leader nodded and tried to shift her partner off from on top of her. Once she regained her footing she held out her hand, which was hesitantly took.
"Watch where you're flying next time, you dunce!" Ruby smirked, enjoying the sensation of Weiss's cool hand in hers before it was pulled away.
All four members of Team RWBY stood in line in Professor Ozpin's office, waiting for him to turn around in his chair. Sighing, Ozpin stood up with his mug still in hand. He turned around to face the four girl's quizzical expressions.
"I was requested by the headmaster of Atlas to send this team on a mission." Weiss was quickly distraught at hearing her homeland needed help.
"But, Sir! Atlas's school and military are combined! Why would they need our help?"
"That is true, but if I may continue Miss. Schnee" Ozpin said while looking out the window ignoring Weiss's apologetic nod.
"Your mission would be to kill a rather large Beowulf that has been attacking one of the outside villages. The villagers around that area seemed to be calling it, Stor." He tilted his gaze to Weiss. "To answer your question Miss. Schnee, Atlas asked us to handle this because it proved too much for their own students, apparently" Ozpin's voice shifted and turned cold.
"This your job ladies and you were asked for by name"
Ruby silently consulted her teammates. Her sister was always up for a good fight and Blake's expression rarely changed, content with the situation. Weiss on the other hand was boiling with rage, but Ruby spotted the slightest bit of fear in her ice blue eyes.
"Professor could we have a little time to make a decision?" He nodded and Goodwitch escorted them out.
"What's witch the hesitation little sis?" Yang said, calmly patting the top of her head in a half-mocking manner.
"I-I just thought that we should talk about it as a team" She glanced at Weiss, their eyes accidentally locking. Ruby pulled away quickly, feeling blush rising to her cheeks.
"Well, me and Blake are in!" Yang shouted while literally dragging her partner by the back of her shirt to their dorm to pack. The heels of Blake's shoes skidded against the ground as she continued to read her book, only to give a small wave to the other two.
The remaining pair wandered around the school in silence until Weiss spoke up.
"So why did you hesitate?" Ruby only thought for a second before answering calmly.
"You seemed scared to go back to Atlas" A crimson blush spread across Weiss's entire face. Fearing anger, Ruby began to escape only to feel something entirely delicate holding her hand.
"How did you notice that?" Ruby turned to face her partner whose eyes avoided hers at all times.
"Can I be completely honest" Weiss only nodded and squeezed her hand gently.
This is it, I'm going to finally tell her.
The team leader straightened her back and walked step closer, trying to seen the most adult she could. Before she could finish the single step, she had somehow tripped over her own feet, tumbling towered her partner. She closed her eyes and braced for impact. After a moment she realized that she was being held up by a rather small frame. Opening her eyes slowly she noticed that they were both engaged into a rather awkward kiss.
Before Ruby could enjoy the sensation, she was lightly pushed away. Her gaze soon met Weiss's and upon seeing her partner, Ruby was horrified at her reaction.
As far as she could tell, Weiss was on the verge of tears, her face redder then before, though this time it was anger. When the sniper tried to move closer and explain it was an accident, Weiss barked at her to stay away. The heiress quickly regained her composer and began to walk away back to the dorms, only to stop a few feet later. With her back still turned she wiped away any stray tears and mumbled a few words before running off again.
You Dunce, think about the rest of your team for once.
Ruby fell to her knees in disbelief. This isn't how she pictured it turning out at all. She took her partners advice and slowly made her way back to Ozpin's office, dragging her feet with every step. She had lost even before it started, but right now she had to be a leader, not a little kid.
"Professor Ozpin, team RWBY accepts the mission" The professor glanced up from his paperwork and gave a reassuring smile.
"Is everything ok, Ruby? You don't seem quite as chipper as before" Goodwitch pointed out. Before Ruby could think of a lame excuse, Ozpin stood up.
"Though this might seem like a daunting task, I'm sure you'll do just fine" The team leader thank him and made her way back to their dorm.
The way he'd smiled made her wonder if he was only talking about the mission. She forced these thoughts to the back of her mind for now, seeing that there were more pressing matters.
Team RWBY just got a super awesome mission!
Finally feeling excited, the young girl skipped off the walls and jumped for joy, ready to take on anything that's thrown at her.
