Yang opened her eyes and found herself gazing out of the window of a train. Blake her girlfriend was leaning on her shoulder and Weiss was sitting across from them, both of them sleeping deeply.

"Must have fallen asleep," Yang though stretching, being sure not to wake Blake. "I wonder if we'll be there soon."

Soon they would finally be able see Ruby again.

Yang sighed as she thought back to when it all went wrong. It start on the mission to clear out a large number of grimm. It was all going well until that damn ursa got into their aircraft. Yang remembered it like it was yesterday.

Yang stood in shock as she looked at the hole the ursa had made when she hit it. But what stopped Yang in her tracks was the fact that Ruby had been pushed by the ursa out the hole as well.

Yang finally began to move as the aircraft be rocking violently, reaching over and holding onto the wall. As soon as the aircraft stabilized Yang rushed to the cockpit.

"Turn around we got to go back for my sister," Yang shouted.

"I can barely keep the aircraft in the air," the pilot yelled. "I have already started the emergency beacon and I have no choice but to set down until the rescue team comes."

What about my sister," Yang yelled get angry

"I'm sorry but she will have to take care of herself until the rescue team comes," the pilot said as the aircraft settled down on the ground. "At the moment we need to stay here so that rescue knows where to find us, then they can begin looking for you sister."

Yang had been about to strangle the guy when Blake came in and dragged her out of the cockpit.

"He's right Yang we need to stay here until rescue comes," Blake said.

"But..." Yand began

"No buts, Ruby will be fine until the rescue team finds her, this is Ruby we are talking about." Blake reasoned trying to calm Yang down.

Yang couldn't think of a response to that so she went along with Blake.

Half a hour later Weiss woke up and upon finding out that Ruby wasn't with them put up even more of a fight than Yang to go find her before Blake calmed her down enough to agree to wait until the rescue team came.

Two hours later the rescue team came and got everyone out of there. However Yang and Weiss refused to go back to Beacon until they had found Ruby. So they had spent the rest of the night searching for her. They found her early next morning leaning against a tree, heavily bruised and unconscious. They then returned to Beacon and Ruby was sent to the infirmary followed by Yang and Weiss who refused to leave her and Blake who stayed to make sure the other two didn't do anything foolish.

Ruby woke up at around noon and instantly began asking for some cookies. Weiss immediately began scolding her but burst into tears shortly afterward hugging Ruby as Yang smiled at the two lovebirds, and gave Ruby a hug as well of course.

For the next week or so everything had seemed fine but then Yang, Weiss, and Blake began noticing that Ruby was withdrawing from them. She absolutely refused to tell them what happened to her while she was alone in the forest, and began to speak less than before. They just assumed it was temporary and overlooked it.

However, the real problems began when one day the team woke up to find Ruby puking in the toilet. Ruby claimed she wasn't feeling well and decided to take the day off. However at breakfast she basically jumped the oatmeal, something that she usually hated. When the other commented on that Ruby became distant and quickly left. After that it went straight down hill. Ruby became almost as reserved as Blake was as the start of the year and the team kept waking up to her puking early in the mornings. She also kept having food craving to the most unusual thing, one day she decided to eat pure cinnamon and actually said the cookies tasted like cardboard.

When Yang and Weiss finally decided to confront Ruby it ended in a yelling match that lasted well into the night. Two days later they woke up to find ruby had disappeared into the night.

Weiss had been absolutely devastated, not eating for nearly a week before Blake and Yang finally decided that enough was enough and had basically forced food down Weiss's throat. They threatened to keep doing it unless Weiss began eating, which she did solemnly.

That was 7 years ago.

Yang sigh again.

They had finished the next 3 years of Beacon as a group of three, outdoing even the best of the other normal sized teams. But Beacon had lost a lot of it's color after beacon left and the team never quite recovered.

During this time they looked for Ruby everywhere but fun no sign of her, though that didn't mean that they gave up.

It was a few weeks ago, 3 years after leaving Beacon and beginning work as a highly sought after team of huntresses, that they finally found her.

It started as a rumor of a mysterious woman living outside a secluded town. If not for the fact that the woman was said to have a red cloak and silver eyes Yang could have easily overlooked it. It seemed unlikely at first but after some calls Weiss found that there was a house secluded house there home to a woman with silver eyes, black and red hair, and who upon further investigation was found to look exactly like how Ruby would look at 22.

So here they were traveling to a secluded town to hopefully discover the reason why Ruby had left.

"Soon Ruby," Yang said softly, looking out the window as the train speed along towards it's destination and toward answers.
