Dragon and Sword Master: I own nothing concerning this project; Rooster Teeth owns the rights of Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna and RWBY as a whole. Anything else mentioned or referenced to is owned by their respective companies; I'm just playing in the sandbox.

Furthermore, I'm trying a new writing style here by writing the chapters as if it were one big story separated into the chapters for Ladybug. Hopefully this new writing style will help me evolve as a writer and if not, please just be kind. In addition, I know nothing about ships or terms…so I please humbly ask that if I make a mistake or something along those lines, then you, the reader, ignore those.

Thank you

"You're kidding…" Ruby commented after hearing what Blake had to say about her being reincarnated and that in every life, some way, somehow the two of them were together. Either as sisters or friends, but most of the time as lovers. Sometimes they hadn't met until they were in college and sometimes they had been friends for life. The circumstances surrounding the two of them were as different as the stars in the sky, but the one constant was that Blake and Ruby were together in some fashion.

"I'm not Ms. Rose. I wouldn't kid about something like this," Blake said, still being professional. She hadn't been given permission to use Ruby's first name just yet and right now she wasn't sure if she could use it without some kind of consequence. "If you want though, I could tell you about some of the past lives that we shared. Some of them are much more interesting than being the future president of a private security and the owner of a bar," she added while waiting patiently for Ruby to decide what to do from here.

It was ultimately her decision what to do from here.

"Um…this is a lot to take in Ms. Bella…sorry, I can't keep calling you that. After everything you've told me, assuming that its true after all, I can't keep calling you 'Ms. Belladonna.' May I call you Blake?" Ruby asked as she saw Blake smile for a bit before a light laugh came from her features.

"Of course, you can but only as long as I can call you Ruby," Blake replied which Ruby quickly agreed to.

"And before I decide on hearing any stories…let's see if I got this right: on your thirteenth birthday, you find a random black belladonna flower on your window sill and pick it up. After that, you receive memories of our times together throughout the years, right?" Ruby asked as Blake nodded. "And it doesn't look like you're lying either…" she said before going back into deep thought. This was just something just to bizarre…a few seconds later, Ruby finally let out a soft smile. "You…said you had stories of our adventures?"

"I do. One of the first times we met was when you were a tomboy Princess of the Land while I was a Princess of the Sea. I had just received the Crescent Shadow and plundered my first ship. It wasn't big by any means…" Blake started to say before telling the rest of the story.

Blake Belladonna was standing on the deck of her ship, her crew's newly won bounty of gold laying underneath their feet. Needing to restock on supplies, the captain of the Crescent Shadow headed towards dock and jumped onto the pier below. Moving a few steps off and looking for a place to find information. She had awoken one day to find a belladonna flower pinned between window and room. Picking it up, she was assaulted by memories of times and places that she didn't know what to make out of! However, it was only for a few minutes before the images stopped.

"Boss?"

"It's okay Nora, just getting my land legs back," Blake replied to her first mate before scowling as she saw the authority figures in their bright red coats with shiny brass buttons. She knew that this couldn't be any good and told Nora to hide out of the way. Without her weapon, she would be no match for them, not without inflicting heavy collateral damage which was something Blake wanted to avoid. She was also looking to avoid any confrontation with them as well. Not paying attention to her surroundings, she suddenly bumped into someone.

"S-sorry!" the voice said as the hood came off the covered voice, showing a woman in her early twenties and wearing silk, something that only royalty could afford.

"Wait…you're telling me that I literally ran into you? You were trying to avoid the naval forces and you just bumped into me?" Ruby asked in surprise.

"Yup. More often than not, one of your personality quirks is you being clumsy. It's not a bad thing though since I find it cute sometimes," she answered, causing Ruby to blush lightly at seeing that. Blake smiled at that before continuing her tale.

"It's okay lass. Why were you running?" the pirate captain asked as she looked over her features. She didn't seem to be a city girl or a whore…so what was she doing here on the streets? Seeing her freeze up at the question, Blake just sighed before placing a small hand on her wrist lightly. "I may not look like it, but I'm a pirate captain. Say the word, and I can take you to my ship," Blake whispered as the girl looked back at the authority figures then back to the girl holding her arm.

"They…they want to marry me off…"

"They do, do they? And why would they want to do that to you? You a princess or something?" she asked, flabbergasted when the girl nodded at that.

"I'm the daughter of a governor…and he wants me to be wed in order to move up in the social ladder," she cried out as Blake just scowled at hearing such a thing. Women were not objects; it was why she became a pirate in the first place, to escape the social norms that were put on a middleclass woman such as herself.

"It's official then, you're coming with me," Blake said before wrapping her hand around the girl's arm and pulling her closer towards herself. She was just about to turn back towards the ship and hop on, but lady luck decided to be cruel today.

"Halt! You there, let go of Lady Ruby! Now!" one of the guards exclaimed as his crimson eyes met with Blake's amber ones.

'Shit' was the only word that came to Blake's mind as she looked back at the woman, now named Ruby, and saw fear in her silver eyes. That sealed the deal for Blake. Come hell or high water, she wasn't going to let them take Ruby back to her father and out of her life. Not when she had finally just gotten her back into it after all. Running in the opposite direction of the men that told her to let go of Ruby at once, Blake could only hope that she wasn't hurting her soulmate.

"Wait…you're telling me that we literally bumped into each other?" Ruby asked, raising an eyebrow in disbelief.

"You have no idea how many times that's happened within our lives. This is just one of them."

"…oh. So, what happened next? Did we fight the men trying to take me back to my cold father? Did we run and make it to the ship? Or…did we…d-d…"

"Die?" Blake offered, which Ruby nodded at. "I'll tell you right now that we didn't die. We made it to the ship and we had the time of our lives afterwards," she replied as Ruby let out a sigh of relief. Blake didn't blame her. The first time she witnessed that scene in her memories she thought that they had died.

Ruby and Blake were panting heavily while they waited on the stern of the ship while everyone was quickly getting on. "What did you do boss?!" Nora claims as she is the last one of the crew on the ship. She could see the navy forces getting ready to stop her from leaving the pier.

"Long story! I'll tell you when we get to open waters!" Blake shouted back as she took the wheel. "Ruby, stay near and don't go anywhere!" she shouted towards the runaway who they picked up. With the wind in their favor, Blake pushed the ship to its limit, barely able to get past the blockade. After that, they traveled the high seas.

"That actually sounds pretty cool…" Ruby replied once the story was finished, giggling lightly as she heard Blake's stomach starting to rumble and the woman across from her blush badly. "Come on, let's go get something to eat."
