A/N*-Here go ladies and germs, a continuation YAY! Next chapter a lot will be different from the show and will focus on all four girls views not just Ruby and Weiss.
~Ruby~
Class began just as they entered the room and somehow they were already falling behind, Weiss being ever studious caught up rather quickly but… she was still pretty miffed about the whole ordeal. She turned towards Ruby who was sitting right next to her and mumbled something under her breath.
"What was that Weiss? I can't hear you…" Ruby tilted her head towards the Heiress and pulled Weiss close to her. This made Weiss very happy and she gladly obliged Ruby by speaking very softly in her ear.
''I'd appreciate it if you could do a couple favors for me if that's alright? ~…" Ruby nodded slightly in response.
"Cease with this foolishness…stop making this sound like some sort of book or raunchy movie and acting wacky based on the flip of a dime…stop with trying to make yourself sound more intelligent and certainly stop acting like a big shot, it's not like you… now wake up and actually do your job ok?"
Ruby backed away from Weiss and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. "What are you talking about?!"
Weiss grabbed Ruby by the back of her head with both her hands and brought her in an inch or two away from her face. "Just relax your dolt-like brain and go away ok?"
She then encased Ruby's head and eyes in a block of ice, creating a wall of blackness.
Her eyes opened slowly, the piercing sunlight shining through the window nearly gave her a headache. Ruby carefully sat up and stretched her arms above her head, gazing around the room she took in the scenery before her. Her teammates were still sound asleep in their respective beds, lined up in a straight row. Weiss's bed was right next to Ruby's, and next was Blake's, last was Yang's.
Weiss slept on her side with her body under the covers, facing towards the window and Blake. While Blake slept facing upwards towards the ceiling with one arm on the sheets and the above her on the pillow and Yang…Yang had her sheets strewn across her back with one of her legs poking out, an arm dangling off the bed and the other under her pillow and she was also drooling.
Lazily, Ruby dragged her legs across the bed and onto the floor and using the momentum she hoisted herself up and stood slightly hunched over. As she rubbed her eyes she thought to herself.
'Even when I try to have fun in my dreams she still somehow finds a way to chastise me…' she looked at Weiss again and cracked a little smile.
Ruby lightly tapped her own cheeks and pumped herself up mentally, flashed a bright smile and cheerily stalked towards Yang and shook her awake. Her sister woke up with a smile already ingrained on her face and greeted Ruby with a light poke to the stomach.
"Hey Rubes how's it going this morning? You seem a little sunny eh? eh?" she repeatedly poked her in the stomach and then in the belly button eliciting a small giggle from her.
Ruby swatted away her sister's hand with her best poker face and moved to arouse Blake from her sleep but stopped when she saw her already awake and getting dressed. With her bow oddly still intact.
"It's hard to sleep when there's giggling coming from right next to you." Blake flashed a grin the two siblings' way and resumed getting dressed, Yang and Ruby followed her, brushing their teeth and putting on their uniforms. After the three finished Ruby carefully tiptoed towards Weiss, reached into her pocket and took out a whistle she'd brought with her from home.
'I'd never forget about you Weiss...w-well I kinda did but I hope you can forgive me, I'm sorry!'
She hesitantly leaned in to wake up the Heiress but backed away when Weiss started getting up by herself. Weiss sat up and turned her head slowly to her right and was startled by Ruby blowing a whistle. She flailed around and crashed to the floor, when she finally looked up she shot a glare at Ruby.
"Good morning team RWBY!"
"What in the world is wrong with you?!" "Is this what it's going to be like for 4 years?" Weiss slowly started getting up.
"Now that you're awake we can officially begin our first order of business!" "I probably shouldn't have done that first thing in the morning to her…"
The small group continued their conversation while Weiss brushed herself off and got dressed and ready to go, after a couple minutes talking they started rearranging and redecorating the room with their own personal tastes with a painting, a couple of bookshelves chock full of books, and a poster of the Achieve Men. The beds were a different story however as they were all jumbled together in a giant mess.
"This isn't going to work."
"It is a bit cramped."
"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff..." Yang said with defeat in her voice, meanwhile Ruby thought back to a little while ago when she was still in dreamland. "Ooh, this is gonna be soo cool!"
"Or we could ditch the Beds... And make them into bunk beds!" Ruby raised her arms above her in excitement.
Weiss as if on cue voiced her complaints but she was denied when Yang and Blake started agreeing with Ruby. With a majority vote, the teens quickly threw together a couple of bunk beds that resembled the ones from Ruby's dream.
Unfortunately Ruby forgot to notice the time and while checking her binder for the class schedules Weiss yelled at Ruby when she said that classes start at 9 O'clock when the current time voiced by Weiss was 8:55.
Team RWBY followed by team JNPR rushed out of the building and into their for them arrived just in time and spent the rest of their time in class listening to their teacher Professor Port speak.
"That's an odd coinkydink...I never knew his name before today."
Ruby absentmindedly drew a crude picture of the teacher in front of her. She then proudly held it up to the rest of the team which was sitting right next to her, forcing all the girls except Weiss to giggle.
~Weiss~
Weiss slowly reached the boiling point of furious with every description Professor Port gave off of an effective leader, she agreed with everything he said but with Ruby pulling mediocre stunts as he went on she started losing it. She finally blew her top when Ruby started picking her nose. "I should be the one leading this team, not this insufferable childish dolt!"
Weiss was steaming mad, and when Peter Port asked for a volunteer to show that they "Have what it takes" as an embodiment of a leader, Weiss, eagerly raised her hand to which Port asked her to come down with a smile. "This should show them all that I Weiss Schnee should be the rightful leader of the team and not some lousy follower!"
When a cage was revealed to Weiss housing a creature of Grimm, her confidence boosted doubled in size and as if he heard her thoughts Professor Port released the animal. The animal resembled a boar, but only if the boar had snow white pieces of armor covering its body.
Some more time had passed by as Weiss fought the Boarbatusk and she wasn't doing so hot, she had expected to kill it within the first few seconds, but on multiple occasions, she was denied the kill. With interruptions from her teams' constant cheering, getting knocked down and finally getting her stuck in its tusks and knocked away from her she was forced to think on her feet…until she heard a familiar voice.
"Weiss aim for its stomach there's no armor there!" Ruby yelled from behind her. "Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss yelled angrily back at her. Ruby who was once cheery and chirpy now looked sullen and turned silent. However…thanks to Ruby, Weiss now had a target area she could aim for and she sped across the room, dodging the Grimm Boar and retrieved her weapon.
Rapier in hand Weiss went on the defensive trying to coax the Boar into charging. The boar snorted and reared its head before finally charging at Weiss…time seemed to slow down for her. She deployed a glyph in front her a second before the boar reached her, the momentum from it hitting her newly made barrier was enough to send it reeling backward into the air. She could see into its pure red eyes.
It's back hit the floor with a loud thud…it was clear to Weiss that the time had come to finish it off once and for all. She jumped off the floor and flipped backward, half-way back to her original position she created a glyph which sent her flying towards the Grimm d when she finally reached her target she violently thrust her rapier into its chest, killing it.
She pushed herself off the ground and brushed herself off, removing Myrtenaster from the boar's chest as she went. She stared at Ruby in the eyes and shot a glare her way before storming away out of the classroom.
"Dear god she is infuriating!"
~Ruby~
Ruby chased after Weiss in the hallways, thinking that she had done something to cause her partner to act this way. Eventually Ruby caught up to her, she reached her arm out and pulled Weiss by the shoulder turning her around.
"What in the world do YOU want?!"
"Why are you yelling at me? I've done nothing to you!" Ruby took a step back and hung her head a bit.
"And you've done nothing to help me either! All you've been is a nuisance. You run head first into battle without thinking, something I wouldn't do at all because unlike you I know how to think like a leader!"
"I don't know why you're being so mean to me Weiss, I've done nothing but be nice to you this entire time no matter how much it hurt not to say anything back, I slipped up once back there in the forest and I regret it and I promise you nothing like that will ever happen again but getting mad at me for seemingly no reason at all isn't going to help anything!"
"You call drawing in class and fooling around as nothing? It's clear that Ozpin made a mistake." Weiss turned around and started walking outside.
"Weiss where are you going? I thought you were fine with working as a team…"
"Not in a team led by you."
And with that Weiss walked farther and farther away from her, not even glancing her way. Ruby turned to leave but was cut off by a familiar man carrying a cane.
"Hmm, now that didn't seem to go very well." Professor Ozpin looked down at Ruby.
"Is she right? Did you make a mistake?"
"That remains to be seen." Ozpin flashed a smile, and Ruby's eyes filled up with hope again.
"What do you mean?
"I mean it's only been one day. Ruby I've made more mistakes than any man woman and child on this planet, but at this moment I do not consider your appointment to be a leader as one of them. Do you?" Ozpin lowered his head and looked straight at Ruby.
"Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle." Ozpin eased himself back up "But a badge you wear constantly, if you are not always doing your absolute best then what reason do you give others to follow you?"
A smirk started to form on Ruby's face
"You've been burdened with a daunting task Ruby, I advise you take some time as to how you will uphold it. Now if you'll excuse me…I have an urgent matter to attend to." With those final words Ozpin turned and left, Ruby, however, looked outside the door she was standing next to and took a peek at Weiss. She smiled to herself and left for her dorm room.
Once she was in the room she grabbed the nearest book and began to study.
~Weiss~
Weiss walked away from Ruby and outside to the balcony, where she saw and met Professor Port.
"Professor Port!" The man in question turned "I enjoyed your lecture!"
"Of course you did child you have the blood of a true huntress in you!"
"You really think so?"
"Undoubtedly so, but I can sense something ailing your mind! Tell me your strife young one."
"Well…I think I should be the leader of Team RWBY."
"…That's preposterous, I've believed in the man for many years and he has never once led me astray and right now I see a girl before me who has gotten everything she's ever wanted." The teacher crossed his arms behind his back.
"Excuse me? How dare this old man!"
"That's not even remotely true…well…not entirely true." To this Professor Port raised an eyebrow.
"So you didn't get your favored outcome, do you really honestly believe that acting this manner would change the minds of those in power?" He uncrossed his arms and placed them on Weiss's shoulders. Her facial expression had changed from anger to something calmer and she listened without hesitation.
"Instead of fretting over what you don't have, savor what you do, and perfect every skill and technique for one that is not to be the best leader or follower…but one that is the best person that one can be."
One of the corners of Weiss's mouth curved up forming a smirk. The professor walked away and left Weiss alone to her thoughts and she stayed out there until the sky was full of stars.
On her way to the room, Weiss thought about everything that had happened between her and Ruby, and how she wished that she could've been just a tad nicer to people. She hadn't thought about it before she talked to Port but now that she did she saw an opportunity to be something better, someone better like he said.
"She's a really sweet girl if you think about it…of course, that doesn't mean I forgive her for her picking her nose in class which was really disgusting…but she is a little younger than me...I guess I act a little snotty but It can't be helped really, I mean after all I spent most of my life studying and learning how to act proper, they carved it into my head that I was supposed to act this way or talk that way…but I can change that…I just need time."
Weiss went up to the door of her team's room and slowly opened it. She saw Blake sleeping soundly in her bed as well as Yang except less gracefully, but, she stopped when she saw Ruby lying down on her bed next to an open book and paper filled to the brim with notes and a cup with nothing inside.
She timidly strolled up next to Ruby and poked her on the face rousing her from her sleep.
"W-weiss…I'm sorry I passed out while writing and" Weiss put a finger to her lips and hushed her, she took another look at the cup then removed her finger from Ruby's lips.
"How do you take your coffee, don't try to worm out of it just tell me."
At first, Ruby was surprised and tried to tell Weiss that she was good and didn't need anything but one glare from Weiss changed all that in an instant.
"Cream and five sugars." Ruby spat out, Weiss rolled her eyes and smiled to herself. She grabbed the cup off Ruby's bed and disappeared for a minute before popping back in sight with a brand new cup in her hands full of hot coffee.
"…Ruby I think you have what it takes to be a leader, and I just want to say that…I'm ready and willing to be the best teammate you ever had." Ruby smiled at this.
"Good luck studying…by the way that one's wrong." Weiss walked to and opened the door. She paused for a second.
"Oh and Ruby…" Ruby looked her way. "I always wanted bunk beds when I was little." Weiss stood there for another second before closing the door.
Ruby smiled to herself and quickly erased and rewrote something on her paper then mad a mad dash out the door to Weiss. Weiss heard the loud footsteps behind her and turned around to look at Ruby.
"Ruby? What's up?" Weiss raised an eyebrow at her.
Ruby leaned close and wrapped her arms around Weiss and brought her up close enough to where her ear was next to Ruby's mouth. She whispered something into Weiss's ear.
"Thank you Weiss…that meant so much to me." Ruby broke away from Weiss and went back to the room, she waved once to Weiss and went back inside.
Weiss stood looking forward as still as a lamppost, one of her hands was clenched tight and the other was on her chest.
Weiss felt a tingling sensation on her ear when Ruby's lips grazed it, her nose held a remnant of Ruby's scent from her hair and Weiss still felt a little warmth from when Ruby hugged her.
"Well, that was…unexpected."
Weiss let her arms relax and started to walk away, she was heading somewhere, but she didn't exactly know where just that she needed to go somewhere to do something important.
"Roses…her hair smelt like roses…so sweet." She stopped and shook her head getting mad at herself for smelling Ruby's hair. Then lightly hit slapped herself on the forehead.
"What am I doing It's just a smell and purely accidental, she was so close to me it was only natural that when I took a breath in I'd smell her hair, It's not my fault." She said to herself, and then she started walking forward once more, before getting sidetracked by the thought of Ruby's lips grazing her ear.
"That tickled...yet it oddly felt nice…wait." She felt heat rise off her cheeks but she quickly shook it off and dismissed it.
"Why nice? If anything it was unpleasant, why am I getting so caught up on this?" She sped up her casual walk and was now striding forward.
"…That hug really caught me off guard…felt really nice though…soft and warm too…" The thought put butterflies in her stomach.
"Well it did catch me off guard, I'm not used to all this touchy feely stuff, It always makes me uneasy when someone I barely know touches me…why am I getting so upset over things…maybe the day's just getting to me and I'm getting tired? That would explain all the outburst of emotions, and my face feeling so hot and my stomach getting all twisted up and weird." She nodded to herself and went to a water fountain, she pushed the button the side, dipped her head and slurped up some water, then using her other hand splashed her face a couple of times.
When the heat on her cheeks melting away and the feeling in her stomach fading she chalked it up as heat exhaustion and her being tired. She remembered where she was going to and looked outside towards the tower. It read nine fifteen, she was too late.
"Damn, I thought I had some time left to go study at the library. Oh well, I guess I can go tomorrow…I'm too tired anyways…I think I'll just go to bed. Yeah, that sounds nice." She turned back around and went on her way back to the room.
"Well,…at least it isn't a total loss of a day." She felt a tad happier now that she made up with Ruby. After all, she promised to be a better person and a better teammate, she thought of Ruby asleep in her bead next to her books.
"If anybody deserves to lead…It should most definitely be her."
Weiss came across the room she slept in. opened the door and went inside. She brushed her teeth, had a quick shower put on her nightgown and went to bed.
"A simple way to end the day…"
Weiss closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face.
