A/N: Originally I wasn't going to post this story because I have so many others going at once, but after watching the new episode, and having my friend constantly badger me to post it (looking at you Brandon ;J ) I decided to give it a shot. This is my first RWBY story and it will include both WhiteRose and Bumblebee, the characters (Weiss especially) will be a little different in personalities, because that's what this story is about :) lets get on with it then, shall we?

Disclamier: I don't own RWBY or its characters or anything related to the show, it belongs to RoosterTeeth and Monty Oum.

The sounds of her parents arguing could be heard through the walls of Schnee Mansion, travelling up to even the highest levels, and keeping the young Heiress awake in her bed.

She lay back and she listened, she tried to remember her father's face, feeling dull inside when all she could recall was a blurry image. Her mother was a little better, more solid in her mind's eye, but it was bad, she figured, that she couldn't remember them instantly, like she wished she could.

She mustn't blame them however; her parents were very hard working people. Her mother had to govern over the public papers and media releases, keeping the Schnee name bright in the eyes of other citizens and out of the darkness the White Fang were trying to shroud them in. Her father worked just as hard as, if not more than her mother. He had to run the company. He had to keep an eye on the profit and loss, find well priced labour and buyers, trade with other companies, make sure they did not go bankrupt, deal with bad Dust and the whole time he had to distribute and gain the Dust that made her family rich.

But all this work meant they had little time for their eight year old daughter.

Weiss stared at her ceiling, a frown working its way onto her brow as her parents continued to roar and argue with explosive rage. Apparently there had been many threats from the White Fang as of late, and the added stress was doing no good for her parents.

She thinks back, the last time she saw her mother was two weeks ago, her father perhaps a month. It hurt, but business came first.

Weiss slowly tilted her head to the right and caught her reflection in her mirror. Apart from the occasional maid or servant, she mostly had only herself to be entertained by. It scared her a little, the feeling she had creeping in her chest. It was cold, and it was growing in age, the longer she spent apart from human contact.

She often worried this thought to herself: was it possible for her heart to turn to stone? Because it felt like it was, every day, slowly but surely.

She didn't want to be cold. She didn't want to be bitter like her scary Uncle or Great Aunt. She wanted to be someone people enjoyed playing with, enjoyed being with.

Not a heartless, emotionless monster that she feared she would become.

Tears stung her eyes and she turned her head, fighting them away.

She closed her eyes and tried to block out her parent's arguing, soon the background noise faded away, and she was in silence, just before she would fall into blissful oblivion.

Unfortunately for Weiss Schnee however, fate had different plans.

A black leathered glove clasped hard around her mouth, preventing her scream of shock and fear. The glove was replaced with a gag that was tied firmly around her mouth. She was pulled from the bed and quickly had her hands bound together behind her back, her legs also secured tightly. She thrashed about, panicking horrifically, until a hard object smacked onto the back of her head, and she fell into forced darkness. The last thing she saw were three White Fang members in their black and white masked uniforms, and a man with garish red hair holding the walking stick he had beat her with, then, nothing.

~Ax~

Ruby Rose was an adorable looking child, at age six with short dark brown hair that had natural red tips, large silver eyes and happy grin; she could melt the heart of any man or woman to see her, dressed in her dark clothing and a flowing red cape, hood almost always up. There was one thing different about Ruby Rose however, well, two things.

One would be her slightly more sharpened than usual canine teeth, the other would be the up perked wolf ears atop her head, dark brown, almost black in colour, with red tips.

Her happy grin was now mischievous as she ran through the dark forest, able to easily see her surroundings due to her Faunus eyesight. Her hood was down and fluttering behind her with the rest of the cape as she ran through the forest that she called home. The full moon was high in the sky, and its light seemed to fill her veins with the urge to move, the urge to run.

So, she did.

A playful giggle left her lips as she jumped high in the air, disappearing in a flurry of red rose petals only to appear on a tree branch several metres in the air. She held onto the tree trunk with one hand and leant over the edge of the tree branch, looking at the large fall. Another bubbly laugh left her lips, if her mother knew she was doing this then she would be in big trouble.

She let her head fall back and released the howl that had been fighting in her chest to be let out. Her mouth stretched into a grin as she did so, distorting the howl a little as it left her mouth. She cut off the howl and laughed, jumping from the tree branch and flipping in the air, disappearing in a burst of rose petals only to appear much closer to the ground at a safer distance, and landed with a satisfied grin.

She was about to jump up with a yell of joy, when movement caught her eye. She immediately crouched low and pulled her hood up to hide her ears, feeling them go flat against her hair.

Her silver eyes widened when she saw four men walk through the tree line, one of them standing out with his white suit and red hair, but the other three she recognised immediately.

White Fang.

She felt a growl bubble up in her throat, but she held it down. Her mother had told her about the White Fang, and they gave the Faunus' a bad name. And also that they were very, very dangerous.

She went to step backwards, leaving the men to whatever they had planned as she went to get her mother, when her foot fell on a stick, causing a snapping sound to echo around like a gunshot in an empty room. She ducked down and fell low in the tall grass, watching as one of the White Fang looked directly at her. She held her breath, waiting for the right time to use her Semblance and run. But the White Fang simply shook his head and carried on, followed by the other men. Ruby's eyes narrowed, if they were really Faunus, then they would have been able to have seen her.

They weren't Faunus.

Then she saw the person that one was carrying on their back, bound up and gagged. Her eyes widened. Weiss Schnee. The Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. They planned to blame the kidnap on the White Fang, to cause more problems for the Faunus.

Well, Ruby thought, the moons light sending excitement through her veins, I guess I can show them what a real Faunus can do!

And with another grin, that looked more like a smug smirk, she disappeared in a flurry of roses.

~Ax~

Weiss woke with blurry eyes, finding herself on the forest floor with her back leant against a tree, the gag covering her mouth gone. She looked around her and saw the men from before, the ones who had taken her from her home. She hid the fear and glared at the men.

"W-where are we? Why did you take me from my home?"

The red headed man chuckled and stepped forwards. He crouched down to her crumpled level on the ground and looked into her eyes with an arrogant smirk on his features.

"You see, Miss Schnee, we need to keep the Dust Companies off of our backs, so we are going to use you, and the White Fang uniforms to make them think the Faunus stole the beloved Heir from her room. Oh, the horror of those filthy animals!" he chuckled and put his tinted red glasses back on, "The Faunus hate will be too great for them to even notice us, so thank you, Miss Schnee."

He tuned away and towards a white four-by-four that Weiss had not noticed before, sitting inside the passenger seat at the front.

She looked to the 'White Fang' guards, who were chatting amongst themselves while ignoring her for the time being, and struggled with her binds. She had to tell her parents the truth, that it was not the White Fang but a creep with a bad hair style, despite the fact that they would most likely be blinded by the Faunus' apparent 'crimes' to even listen to her, their hostility too high as it was already.

The binds would not budge and she stopped with a frustrated sigh. She was about to give up for good when a small, soft hand clasped over her mouth.

"I'm going to untie you, 'kay? Be quiet, yeah?" the childish voice whispered, she slowly nodded and the person removed their hand. She felt the ropes being cut and gradually loosen, and then they fell to the ground with a silent thud.

"Think you can move your feet behind you, Miss?" Weiss nodded and shuffled her feet backwards, feeling the ropes begin to loosen not moments later. When the final bonds were gone, Weiss sighed lightly in relief.

"I'm going to distract them, 'kay? You go through the trees to the left and keep going, I'll find you." the voice whispered again.

"How can I trust you?"

"'Cuz I just helped you out!"

Before Weiss could hush back a response, there was a sudden breeze with red petals scattering on the forest floor.

The fake White Fang members were caught out of their little group chat when a small form appeared behind one of them in a flurry of rose petals, laughing and kicking him in the back. The second yelled in shock and lunged at her, only to fall roughly to the ground as she once again disappeared, appearing above his head and smacking it to the ground, causing him to pass out.

"C'mon, you losers!" she yelled at them, disappearing again and appearing besides on of the faceless men, shoving him backwards, and then appeared behind him, crouched behind his legs so he fell with a dizzying crash.

Weiss knew that she should have left, but the sight of the caped hero was too amazing to look away from. She saw the man with red hair look out of his window and roll his eyes, getting into the driver's seat and speeding down the road, leaving the fake White Fang to fend for themselves.

The red hooded girl appeared in front of the last man standing and attempted to kick his head, but with surprising speeds he snatched out and caught her in mid air. She gasped and choked as he held her up by her cape, the hood thankfully staying up and concealing her ears. The man laughed and removed his mask, revealing dark scruffy hair and amber eyes, ears of a lion poking through his head.

He was really a Faunus, a real White Fang.

"Not bad sister, although I would have expected more from a wolf Faunus, cub or not." He quietly hushed to her, so that Weiss could not hear him.

She glared at him and thrashed around.

"I-I'm not your sister!"

"All Faunus are as one youngling, they fight together and so are all related," He reprimanded her, "However, you did attempt to aid the Heir of the Schnee Dust Company, despite all they have done to our kind. I will take you back to our base and you will be punished for your treacherous actions against the White Fang."

Ruby's eyes widened, the White Fang were going to punish her, and they could kill her.

"No!"

Before the strange Faunus could react he was shoved to the side, making him loose his balance a little. Ruby took the opportunity and smacked him in the eye, followed by a kick to his gut. He dropped her and she landed in a crouch. She looked up and locked eyes with the Heiress and grinned at her, she ran over and grabbed her hand.

"Come on, he might get up again!"

Weiss didn't have time to think on why this girl was so happy after being almost strangled to death, she hadn't heard the hushed conversation, but knew that the man was going to hurt her saviour. She didn't have time to think on it, because the girl was pulling her along by her arm, weaving through trees and bushes like an expert.

"Stop!" she yelled in vain, as the girl did not stop, "I demand you tell me where we're going!"

"Don't worry Princess!" she yelled back, "We're going to my home!"

After a few more minutes of exhausting running through the forest, they finally came to a stop at the base of a large tree. It was huge, the roots the same thickness as one of her father's cars. They were entangled together, but if she looked closely she could see a small opening between roots that was large enough for an adult to squeeze through if they ducked.

The two girls stopped in their tracks and started to breath heavily. Weiss was still bent over with her hands on her knees when the shorter girl jumped up and fist bumped the air, a thrilled laugh leaving her lips.

"That was awesome! Did you see what I did? I was like, whoosh! And he was like, ow my face! Ha ha!"

"Excuse me! But I was taken from my home in the middle of the night by those monsters and you're just here acting like we've won a prize!"

The girl in the red cape flinched and rubbed her head through her hood, slumping.

"Sorry… but we are okay, right?"

Weiss sighed and nodded, rubbing her arm awkwardly.

"Look- I'm sorry for snapping, but I haven't really been around people my own age for a while… or ever really, so I don't really know what to say."

The hooded person tilted their head and nodded, holing out their hand.

"Well, how's about you introduce yourself?"

Weiss looked at the slightly dirty hand but fought her upper class instincts to grimace and took it in her own.

"I'm Weiss Schnee, Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company."

"Nice to meet you Weiss, I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose!"

Ruby shook her hand in an exaggerated fashion. Weiss giggled a little, and shook back lightly. She looked at the hidden face and frowned.

"Why is your hood still up?"

"Oh, I forgot about it! I wear it a lot 'cuz mom says people won't like me if I don't."

"Why would she say that?! That's a horrid thing to say to a child!"

Ruby looked down, she could tell from the angle the hood took, and played with her fingers.

"Well… she's not wrong. Most people just see the stereotype and they don't even give me a chance before they judge me."

"… What do you mean?"

Ruby looked up and reached for her hood, pulling it down in one depth movement. At first, Weiss didn't see what was wrong. Her hair was a little ruffled from the wind, and her cheeks perhaps a little thin from minor malnourishment, but nothing out of the ordinary. Then she noticed the lack of ears at the side of her head as her hair shifted in the breeze, and her hair twitched at the same time, two black pointed red tipped wolf ears rising up uncertainly.

Ruby didn't speak and neither did Weiss. The blonde could not believe it, the girl who she thought could be her first friend, help her fight the cold in her heart, was a Faunus. A creature she was told she must hate.

But she had saved her.

"Y-y-you're a, F-Faunus?"

Ruby nodded her head and was quick to defend.

"But we're not like the White Fang, me and my mom! We just stay in our home, away from people, because they hate us!"

"A… Faunus…"

"And I've never hurt anyone, apart from those guys back there and a few other people in the past, but that don't matter! Well, it does but not right now…"

Ruby's voice blurred out as Weiss thought. She saw the girl stood before her, trying to get her point across with large arm movements and facial expressions. She looked cute and innocent with her slightly sharp teeth and wolf ears, like a puppy. Not at all like the White Fang she had heard about before from her parents.

Her family had always tried to turn her away from accepting these creatures, when she saw no real reason to judge an entirety on the actions of few.

Who was she to judge this person so early?

"… and he did try to steal my cookies, and I can only get them every few months. I was a little upset, but-"

"Ruby, its okay."

Ruby stopped mid-charade, and looked at the blonde with confusion.

"W-what? But you're the Heiress of Schnee Dust Company, they hate Faunus."

"Doesn't mean I do."

Ruby smiled hugely, eyes widening in glee and ears perking up excitedly.

"So you want to be friends?!"

Weiss nodded with a small grin.

Ruby yelled in excitement and jumped to hug her. Weiss stood ridged as Ruby wrapped her smaller arms around her, not really knowing what she was meant to do back.

Ruby pulled back and opened her mouth, most likely to cheer or giggle or something, when a mighty roar shook through the area. The White Fang member from before shot through the tree line, his hair messier than before, making him actually look like the lion he was. He let out another roar and lunged to the two children, deadly claws taking the place of his nails as he advanced on them.

Then a white form shot past the two girls, colliding suddenly with the lion Faunus and sending him flying. He sat up and growled at the figure, who was stood tall in their white cape. He jumped up again, lunging for the woman in white. This time she stood in place, but when he was close to touching her with his claws she side stepped, reaching behind her to grab his collar as he flew past and throwing him across the clearing.

Ruby snapped out of her mind blank and moved herself and Weiss to the side, away from the adults.

The lion growled in anger and tried yet another lunge, jumping high in the air for an aerial drop. Then the woman in white disappeared in a flurry of white rose's microseconds before he could make contact. She appeared above him, just like Ruby had previously, and punched down on his back with a much stronger more precise hit. He slumped on the ground, but was still conscious, if the moans of pain were anything to go on. The person used their foot to roll him over and stared down at him. She brought her hand up and swiftly tugged her hood down.

Weiss could only stare in awe at the beauty of the woman. She had longer hair than Ruby, down by her shoulder blades. It was a white as snow with tints of blonde flecking in with strands. Her skin was pale, with slightly less colour than Ruby. She had a strong face and jaw, and before her eyes flickered away from their casual glance up at Weiss, the Heiress could already see the blue-grey iris' she owned.

And of course, a pair of snowy white wolf ears atop her head.

She leant down and picked the man up by his collar.

"Why were you chasing my daughter and her friend?"

"I-I-I didn't know she was your child! I'm sorry!"

Ruby's mom glared at the man so viciously that he was shivering in her grip.

"Come on our territory again and I'll tear you to shreds." She growled, the man nodded and she threw him into the tree line, hearing him scamper away quickly with due haste.

The woman turned and approached the two of them. Ruby hugged her tight with exclamations of thanks while Weiss stood awkwardly to the side. Then the woman looked up and gave Weiss a kind smile.

"Hello there young one, who are you?"

"I-I'm Weiss Schnee Miss, Heiress of Schnee Dust Company."

"And you are still behaving civilly?" she asked skeptically, Weiss nodded, using Ruby's encouraging look to stay focused. The woman in white hummed to herself and eventually held out heir hand.

"My name is Summer Rose, I'm Ruby's mother."

Weiss bowed down in respect, remembering what her maid had taught her about respecting elders.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Miss Rose."

"Please, call me Summer."

"Mom! Weiss said we can be friends!"

"Oh did she?" Summer smiled down at her daughter who was jumping up high with her ears perked up in excitement.

"Yeah, even though she is a Schnee, she still wants to be friends!"

"That's great honey, I'm glad you've found someone your age to play with now."

Ruby giggled, her eyes widening when a smell wafted from her mother's pockets.

"I-Is that what I think it is?"

Summer grinned and reached into her pocket, and Ruby jumped up and down in excitement when she saw the brandished cookie held in her mother's soft hand.

"Here you go sweetie."

Summer handed her the cookie and Weiss watched with interested amusement at how Ruby took the cookie in her mouth, in a very dog like manor, and sat cross-legged on the forest floor, holding the cookie in her hands and munching on it.

"She's very much like a pup, is she not?" Summer asked her, Weiss looked up and saw her staring at Ruby with an affectionate gaze. Weiss felt a twinge of jealousy, but she quickly bit it down.

"Yeah, but it's adorable though."

Summer hummed in agreement and then cast Weiss a sideways glance.

"Well Weiss, while I would like to show you around our home, I believe we should take you back to your home before your parents start to worry and we have a Faunus/Human war on our hands."

"Aww!" Ruby yelled, causing Weiss to jump in shock and Summer to laugh lightly.

"Don't worry Ruby, you'll see each other again," she looked to the blonde girl next to her and cocked an eyebrow, "right, Miss Schnee?"

Weiss nodded and Summer granted her with another small grin.

"That's what I like to hear, come on Ruby, we'll take your friend home."

"Okay…" Ruby sighed, rubbing her ear adorably.

"Don't worry, we'll see each other real soon, okay?" Weiss tried to reassure her, Ruby instantly brightened up and took Weiss' hand, pulling her towards the trees in the direction of Weiss' home.

"You bet!"

The two white haired females grinned at the reply, and they made their way back to Schnee Manor.
