Ashe: Whoa!
Amethyst: Save some for me!
*Jumps on Ashe*
Ashe: Ugh, we don't own anything or anyone in the story, also check out our profile we've updated our appearances.
Chapter 2: Return Of The Spirits, They have kids?!
Amethyst sighed as she laid down in the forest that was the most secluded part of Rubys mindscape, after the girl had dismissed her Amethyst had decided to bid her time till another chance presented itself so she could try and reason with the silver eyed girl. She wasn't lying when she said they'd have warned Ruby of Weiss, though the girl was to stubborn to see that.
"I swear that girls father is going to get it when we get out." Amethyst growled as she remembered how she and Kate where effectively cut off from communicating with Ruby
(Flashback Ten Years Ago)
"Hold her down!" A man screamed as he, Taiyang and Qrow tried to restrain Ruby. The mans hand was glowing blue and he seemed to be trying to hit Ruby with it.
"Let me go you bastards!" The girl yelled having long pale lavender hair and indigo eyes, signs that Amethyst had taken over her body.
"Not until Ruby's safe from you and the other one." Tai yelled as he struggled to maintain his hold on the girl.
"She is safe you moron." AmeRuby (Amethyst/Ruby) yelled as she threw the three men off her. "All we've ever done is help her you paranoid idiot!"
AmeRuby summoned her whips as Tai charged at her, wrapping one around his legs she lifted the man into the air before bringing him down on Qrow who had started to charge her from behind. Turning around, the girl barley managed to dodge the glowing hand of the man that Tai had called, Chuck if she recalled, before slamming her other whip into the ground in front of him causing an explosion. Her attention focused on the two she failed to see Qrow coming up from behind her, luckily her partner did.
Rubys hair turned brown as it formed a ponytail and her eyes turned amber as she gained freckles. Kate, now in control, caught Qrows arm and flipped him over the man landing hard on the ground.
"We don't want to fight you." Kaby (Kate/Ruby) said twisting the mans arm. "All that we've done is try to help her."
"You're manipulating her!" Tai yelled standing up. "I lost my wife, I won't lose my daughter too."
Kate looked at him sympathy evident in her eyes. "I can understand where you're coming from, its taken us sometime but both Amethyst and I remember what happened before we died. Trust me we know what its like to fear losing your child."
Qrow stared up at her shocked, he was about to question her when Cuck grabbed her from behind putting her in a full nelson.
'Shit, I was so focused on the other two I didn't see him!' Kaby thought as she tried to struggle out of the hold.
Kaby cursed as she saw a blue hand cover her face before she felt her connection to Ruby sever completely.
(Flashback End)
Amethyst let out another sigh as she sat up from the ground, she raised her fist before bringing back behind her seemingly hitting an invisible wall. The force of the impact sent ripples through it making it partially visible, this is what was keeping Kate sealed inside Rubys mind whatever that Chuck guy did worked perfectly she couldn't even crack the damn thing. The purple skinned gem got up and stretched waiting for the ripples to stop so she could give breaking the wall another go.
Only they didn't disappear.
"What the heeeellllll!?" Amethyst yelled as the whole mindscape shook violently.
Cracks appeared in the sky and ground as Amethyst struggled to stay upright. The girl quickly righted herself before slamming both hands into the ground causing purple streams of light to emerge from the cracks momentarily stopping their progression. Amethyst grit her teeth and closed her eyes connecting them to Rubys.
'What's gotten you freaked out kid?' Amethyst thought as she began looking through Rubys eyes.
It was blurry, a sigh that she had been crying, but Amethyst was able to see a picture on a scroll on Rubys bed. A picture of Weis and Neptune…ahem…doin' it.
And that's when she heard a certain wall crumble.
(Outside Mindscape.)
Ruby buried her head into Noras chest as she continued to cry uncontrollably, the orange haired girl placing comforting hands on her shoulder. The red haired girl ignored Amethyst shouts to pull herself together as she thought more on what she saw.
"I should've ended it when I found out the first time." Ruby said shocking Nora .
"Wait, you knew?" The girl asked receiving a nod from Ruby as she explained just how she knew Weiss was cheating on her.
"You've been going through this for a month" Nora said shocked that her friend had shouldered her pain by herself for that long.
"Yeah and as you can see its taken its toll." Ruby said motioning to her bagged eyes as she stood up and wiped her face. "…Thanks Nora, for telling me this."
Nora looked at her in worry. "Do you…want to tell your team?"
Ruby flinched at that, team? She really couldn't call three out of four people a team could she? Yes, yes she could as far as she was concerned Blake was her best friend and Yang was her sister first and foremost.
Still…
"Actually, could you tell them Nora I don't-"
At that moment the remainder of RWBY walked into the room, the W part having sweat all over her.
And just like that everything went to hell.
As soon as she laid eyes on Weiss everything else was tuned out, she could hear Amethyst calling out to her but she ignored it, she could feel Nora shaking her but she ignored it, she could see Weiss walk up to her. She was talking but Ruby couldn't hear her she just stared into her eyes that showed concern.
Weiss Schnee was showing concern for her.
….This bitch.
"You Bitch." Ruby said causing everyone in the room to do a double take.
"E-excuse me?!" Weiss yelled. "That's no way to talk to your-"
WHAM/SLAP!
Everyone stared in shock as Ruby had just backhanded Weiss across the face.
"Ruby what the hell!" Yang yelled moving to stop her sister before she did anything else, only to stop herself when her sister gave her a cold glare
Ruby turned back to Weiss, who was holding her cheek, and took a deep breath. "YOU WORTHLESS CHEATING BITCH!"
Weiss took a step back panicking settling in her mind. 'How did she find out?'
"Ruby what are you talking about, I never-"
Weis was cut off when Ruby grabbed Noras phone and pressed play on the video, the sounds of moans filmed the room as Weiss, Blake and Yang went wide eyed as the three watched Weiss have sex with Neptune. Ruby hit the pause button before throwing the phone to Nora.
"Know what I'm talking about now?" Ruby said. "And before you say any bullshit excuse I just want to let you know that I caught you with that blue haired bastard one week after we got into our relationship and you didn't stop there…."
"R-ruby I can explain." Weiss stuttered out earning a laugh from the silver eyed girl.
"Really Weiss that's what you're going with!? I have met some pricks in my time but you sir, are a fucking cactus!" Ruby laughed earning a snicker from Yang. "I swear people like you are the reason we have middle fingers."
"H-he came onto me, Ruby I swear!" Weiss said earning a glare from Ruby.
"Tell me… Is being stupid a profession or are you just gifted?" Ruby responded this time getting a snicker from Nora as part of her red tips became white. "I just said I caught the two of you kissing a week into our relationship"
"It was an accident!"
"Cheating is not an accident. Falling off a bike is an accident. You don't trip and fall onto his dick." This came from Yang whose eyes were red as she glared at Weiss. "
"I-I-I."
"For fucks sake can I put this be any easier." Ruby said getting in her face her hair now completely Lavender. "Eenie meanie miny moe, caught you cheating with a hoe. You lied right to my face, think again you can be replaced."
Her hair turned turning completely white this time as she shoved the girl out the way and ran out the room.
"Weiss…"
The girl turned around to the sight of three angry women, her gazed fixed on the one with blonde hair.
"Explain. Now."
(Hallways Of Beacon.)
Ruby ran down the halls of Beacon her hair having returned to it's normal color. She didn't want to lash out at Weiss…at least not like that.
'Amethyst how'd you get control?' Ruby asked knowing that the purple skinned girl was behind this.
'Ame can't come to the phone right now can I be of assistance?'
Rubys eyes widened to epic proportions as she heard a second voice fill her head, so focused on the voice that she couldn't stop herself from colliding with the person in front of her.
"Ow." The person, male, said as he was knocked to the ground.
"I'm so sorry!' Ruby said helping the person to their feet.
The boy looked to be nineteen, he was tall, had long black hair and a slim, incredibly feminine figure. His clothing consisted of traditional Japanese samurai warrior attire with a full body blue garb paired with a white sash tied around his waist and a green ribbon in his hair. He had on sandals with long white socks. Being an archer Yoichi's arms are adorned with traditional protective armor on his arms and he's carrying a bow and arrow.
"Yoichi? Everything okay out here?" A girl asked as three other people came out of the dorm.
The first one was a petite framed boy with light blue hair that was kept in two pigtails and azure eyes. He had an androgynous appearance and wore blue pants with the hemline rolled a few inches above his ankles, with white shoes and a white belt that is similar to an obi as well as a custom, white, sleeveless muscle shirt. His feet were wrapped in bandages up to his ankles and his hands and arms are also wrapped in bandages up to the elbow.
The second one seemed to be a twenty five year old young woman with white hair, golden eyes, dark skin, large breasts and a scar across her nose. She wore a black jacket with a white zipper tee and torn-up demin short shorts along with knee high brown boots with black heels, yellow-outlined straps and white metal-toes. A single belt crosses her waist with considerable length that has its tail end point out from her left-to-her right from behind, and she has a gauntlet-like weapon on her arms.
The final one was a girl as well, this one having her hair cut in a graduated bob with blunt bangs and glowing eyes as well as markings on her back, shoulders and torso. Her clothing was styled in an ornate fashion, with a midriff-baring top, an Egyptian menat necklace, several Egyptian bracelets, pants with gold paneling, low heeled tall boots and a gold skirt. There were kobu-jutsus on both sides of her hips as well as a naginata on her back.
"I'm fine Nagisa." Yoichi said addressing the other boy as he got up. "Sorry for bumping into you like that, the names Yoichi White, the girl with the naginata is Tanya White the girly boy is Nagisa White and the butt floss over there is Bullet White."
Said butt floss and girly boy gained a tick marks before simultaneously kicking their brother in his shins, effectively dropping him to the floor.
"Call me that again and I'll kill you!"
"I'm not girly!"
Both Tanya and Ruby laughed at their antics before Ruby suddenly clutched her head in pain, dropping to her knees the girl began to breath heavily as all noise around her began to dissipate
'RUBY LET ME TAKE OVER!'
"Get out of my head." Ruby grunted out fighting against the voices take over.
'Damn it Rose! Our last name is White, make the connection!' Kate yelled causing Rubys eyes to widen in surprise.
In that moment Ruby was momentarily distracted Kate quickly took over forcing Ruby to plunge into her mindscape. Yet, the girl wasn't worried in fact despite everything her father and sister had told her she welcomed this feeling, it allowed her to separate herself from the world and all its troubles. In this moment she was free and she reveled in it, falling through her mindscape she felt herself be caught by a certain half gem, looking up she saw Kates smiling face.
"Easy kid, I got ya." Kate said placing her on the forest floor.
"Kate?" Ruby said her eyes opening and closing, the days events finally catching up to her.
"Yeah, its me kid."
"I'm…sorry..." Ruby said as drifted into unconsciousness.
Kate smiled softly before she closed her eyes, when she opened she was staring at a bewildered looking Sinon.
"Saisho no suteppu wa kyōfu o oshieru kotodesu." Kaby said shocking the four at the language she spoke in.
Yoichi immediately aimed an arrow at the girls face a look of confusion and suspicion written on his, before he could get a word in Kaby was in front of him and in an instant had used her foot to flip him in the air before kicking him twice and slamming in the ground. She then grabbed Bullets hand tanking the explosion that came from her gauntlet before crushing said hand before throwing the scared woman into Nagisa
"Now then." Kaby said summoning her revolver and aiming it at Tanya who was reaching for her nagita. "We've got a lot of catching up to do kids.
Translations: Saisho no suteppu wa kyōfu o oshieru kotodesu – The first step is to teach you fear.
