9 Months to Live

Chapter 1: Month 1

AN: Don't own RWBY. Probably would have actually wrote ice bitch on Wiess if I did. AND HOLY SHIT is this thing doing good! Thank you all out there for your support. All your reviews have been positive, and very helpful. Thank you all so much for your support. Now onto the Jaune Arc torture...I mean plot...yeah….

plot…


Even after one month, things still hadn't quite returned the same with the teams. Yang was now known campus wide for having a bigger dick than the entire male population on campus, and if you looked closely at Weiss's forehead, you could still see the words ICE BITCH written in all caps. The real humor came to the fact that she didn't realize till a day later. Beacon had to have all its windows repaired that day. However, with enough awkward silence, things quickly began to flow between the teams again. Ruby and Jaune however, seemed even more awkward and weird around one another. Both played it off as leader stuff, and that seemed to sate the curiosity of the gang. Still, Jaune began to worry he had ruined his relationship with his first real friend he met at Beacon. It was still a mystery how it led to...that, but it happened, and both were feeling really, really, awkward about the whole thing. Jaune let out a groan as he slammed his head against his desk. Oh well, enough thinking over my fucked up friendship, might as well get back to to Oobleck's assignment. Now if only I could read past his chicken scratch and coffee stains on the paper…

Ruby Rose on the other hand, was struggling to keep up in the training room. She was sparring against Weiss, and while she normally found the method of exercise to be a great way to relieve stress (and pent up rage from the Ice Queen "criticisms") , she found herself panting hard after the first round. Ruby usual could go for all day, swinging Crescent Rose with an ease paralleled by few. But now, she found herself panting, the scythe seeming to weigh down. Even Weiss seemed to notice something off, Ending the match.

"What gives Ruby?" The Heiress questioned her "You never do this poorly. Not as good as me, a Schnee, but not...Jaune level of bad"


Jaune beamed with pride. He had finally finished that damn assignment on the history and uses of coffee. Suddenly, Jaune sneezed all over his homework, causing mucus to fly all over the paper, ruining it.

"OH COME ON!" He groaned as Ren nearly stood by and watched as the Arc attempt to save what little he could of his assignment.


"But in all seriousness, I'm concerned for you Ruby. You've seemed to be more tired all week, and have began to worry us all. You are our leader and...Ruby? Ruby? RUBY!" Weiss shouted as she saw the rose haired girl began to snore, dozing off in clear boredom.

"Ehh...But I don't wanna go to school Yang...I wanna stay home and eat cookies and play with my precious Rose…" Ruby mumbled as Weiss shook her awake.

"Look you dolt! My reputation is riding on you!" She ranted on the poor girl. "I'm fed up of you being so off! I'm forcing you to go to the school nurse!"

Ruby froze in place. "N..n...nurse? I'm fine, I don't need to go to the nurse..." Ruby looked at Weiss, fear filling the silver eyes, giving her the strongest puppy pout she could muster. However, the puppy pout froze to death in the cold depths of Weiss's heart, and she grabbed Ruby by the hood and dragged her off to the nurse's office, the poor Reaper begging for mercy and help form any. Unfortunately, the student body was still in fear of the Heiress, as seen from the last person who made fun of her forehead. Poor Tucker had been stuck in a block of ice for days now.

The partners made it to the Beacon Sick Bay, a large room filled with beds and medical equipment, and rather...interesting choice of medical tools. Rows of bone saws, bloodied scalpels, and oversized syringes were mounted on the wall, making any sane person try to stay as healthy as possible. The man in charge, a nurse just named Doc, walked up to them.

"How may I help you to ladies today?" Doc said kindly to the huntresses in training.

"I'm here to drop off my partner to be examined. She's been more useless than before lately." Weiss said as Ruby tried to escape the room, but failed as Weiss grabbed her by the hood again. Doc looked closely at Ruby. Other than an above usual hyperness of a patient, Doc hardly saw any problem. Readjusting his glasses and purple lab coat, Doc looked at the Schnee
"I don't see anything wrong." The nurse said simply.

"Well, look harder!" Weiss ordered to the poor employee. Doc merely shrugged, and went to his office to get a tool.

He came back with a weird looking gun, that appeared to have green sparks flying from the barrel. Doc pointed the device at Ruby, causing her to jump up into Weiss's arms.

"Save me Weiss!" The Reaper pouted to the Heiress. Weiss responded by dropping her on the floor, causing Ruby to land on her butt.

"Owee!" Ruby yelped.

"There, she's injured. Now do something. I need to go make sure the rest of this trainwreck of a team is staying on track. We still got to complete Oobleck's homework on the history of coffee. I heard it's nearly impossible finish if you had to redo it or if you put it off till today." Weiss said, rushing out of the room, leaving Ruby with the weird Nurse.

"Now Ms. Rose, I need you to stay still." Doc said as he aimed his gun at the leader. "I designed this to exam a patient, giving me a complete health diagnosis of the target"
"Will it hurt?" Ruby wondered.

"Let's find out."
"Wait, WHA-"

FLASH

A green light covered over the poor reaper, lighting the room with a eery glow. After a good minute, the light died down, revealing a dazed Ruby.

"Hmmm... Well, that's good" Doc said as he analyzed the barrel of his gun

"I'm healthy?" Ruby asked, eyes filled with concern

"Oh no, the gun worked."
"SO I'M NOT HEALTHY?"

"No, you're perfectly healthy-"
"Thank god!"

"But...this is weird…" Doc interrupted the reaper, who was just about to raid Beacon's pantry of it's cookie goodness "Ms Rose, have you… seen anyone recently?"

Ruby looked at the man strangely. "Yeah, I just saw Weiss recently-

"No, I mean...Seen any… MEN recently" Doc said trying to explain the best he could to the naive girl.

Ruby froze "Um...Well,...there...um, was..one time about a month ago…" She muttered, flushing into the color of her cape "Why do you ask?"
"Well, Ms Rose" Doc said as he looked Ruby in the eyes "It identified you as pregnant."


Jaune Arc was having a bad day. First he had slaved HOURS on the stupid project, only to ruin by his own sneeze! HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE! Then he had to spend the rest of his day salvaging what little he had left of it. However, nothing compared to the icy cold shiver that crawled up Jaune's spine. Call it superstition, but Jaune had a feeling something really, really, really, REALLY bad just happened, something that was gonna be the end of him.
