A/N Well here's part 2! This was too fun to write, and I couldn't resist doing part 2 as soon as I was done part 1. So here it is! And once again; thanks Kin! Enjoy all!
Chapter 2. Volcano.
"-And I expect to see that essay on my desk by tomorrow, is that understood Miss Xiao Long?"
The words of Doctor Oobleck rung in Yang's mind. About an essay due a couple of days before; something the blonde had laxed out on. It should be known that while Yang got into one of the most prestigious schools around, didn't entitle her to be an overly - academic student. Sure she achieved ultra-high grades, but that was thanks to last minute studying and cramming; the herald of procrastination.
Yang had an essay to do right now, something she should probably start. However there was something much more enticing than paper and pen, something the blonde could really get into;
Sleep.
After arduous combat practices with Professor Goodwitch, all Yang wanted to do was go back to her dorm, kick off her shoes, and sleep till next Friday.
But today had different plans...
Stumbling down the hallway which contained her dorm room, Yang began to wonder if anyone would be there. She hadn't seen Weiss since this morning, she remembered her saying something about tracking down "Ruby from the hag", whoever that was. Blake seemed to disappear every morning after breakfast; to the library most likely. And Ruby... Yang had barely seen her little sister all week. Ever since that girl showed up, seemingly from nowhere, Ruby had been spending an unusually high amount of time with her; it brought a smile to Yang's face to see that her sister found a new friend, but the amount of time they spent together was a little odd...
Thinking nothing of it Yang, finally reached the dorm room door and began digging around in her brown jacket pockets for her scroll -that is, until she noticed the shining green LED on the door locking mechanism.
She raised an eyebrow. "Unlocked? Who could possibly be here?" Not even thinking about knocking, Yang gripped the doorknob and shoved the thin wood forward, grinning madly as she did so. The brawler stepped into the otherwise quiet room, she looked to her and Blake's shared bunks; nothing. Lilac eyes surveyed the room and landed on a peculiar sight on the latter bunks in the room.
Weiss?
The heiress lay faced down, face buried in a pillow. "Weiss?" The blonde gently spoke. All she received in return was a half whimper, half moan; the heiress shuffled a bit before turning her head.
"You're not gonna go get Ruby today? Weiss?" Yang prodded on.
Weiss clenched her pillow in a death grip and slammed her face back into it. "I can't... I can't go back..." She grouched.
Yang giggled in response, she knew all to well what Weiss had tried to do. She quelled her laughing and allowed for Weiss to continue.
"But still, it's rare to see her like that. I wonder what happened the other day..." Weiss continued to sob.
Yang resumed her giggling and walked off, not knowing where she'd go. Weiss' words had piqued her interest however. The Ice-Queen was right, it is rare to see Ruby acting like that; which led Yang to wonder why Ruby was hanging out with that girl and no one else. Ruby can't just make one new friend and then call it quits; she has a team to lead!
Mind made up, Yang decided to go on her own venture to this so-called room and see what's what.
"I'm glad she's got a new friend but she's been hanging around with her too much." Yang thought to herself. "She's not gonna be a good leader like that." She spoke with confidence.
Meanwhile...
"How's, that?" Cinder asked while adjusting the Beowolf hat on Ruby's head.
"It's really warm! A-And fuzzy!" Ruby cheered.
"Aren't you adorable... here I'll do your cape now." Ruby handed Cinder her torn cape, the elder girl raised an eyebrow. "How'd you rip this anyway?"
"He-he..." She nervously snorted. "I-It got stuck in an elevator door..." Ruby stammered out.
Cinder smiled and took a seat behind her machine. "I'll fix it, no worries."
######
The blonde continued her stroll, she had passed by the "door" the previous day whilst some workers were bolting on new hinges and fixing damages that resembled an explosion.
Rounding the corner, Yang eyes scanned over a door with a peculiar sign on it. Walking over, she could tell this was the one; evident by the fresh lacquer smell that emanated from the oak wood. "Ah! there's the room!"
Yang leaned forward, allowing her eyes to get a better glimpse at what the sign had to say; it was a funny looking picture of Weiss with a circular cross of it. The words "Little Avalanche" and " BANNED" lined to top and bottom of the page.
"Oh!" Yang gawked in bewilderment. "Is this why she can't come here? What happened here? ...Pfft Little Avalanche! That's good!" She made a mental note to write that down.
"Oh yeah! Can't forget why I'm here!" Realization dawned on her, she came had a job to do; for the sake of team RWBY!
Bringing her bracelet and glove-clad hand up, Yang prepared to knock. "Excuse m-"
"Ooooh~" A high pitched squee sounded from the other side of the door. Stopping Yang's hand mid knock.
The blonde became confused again. Was this the wrong room? Didn't sound like Ruby wa-
"Cinder you're so skilled with your fingers! I could never be as good as you!"
Scratch that. Ruby is definitely in there.
"Thank you~ Do you want me to teach you? It wouldn't hurt for you to take care of yourself now and again."
Yang's thoughts did a complete 180. Was this why Weiss ran away? With force, the blonde slammed her whole body flush to the door, and planted her left ear to key in on what the heck was going on in there.
"You will?!" She heard Ruby beam.
"Of course~"
Yang went stiff, sweat beaded her face as the impotent rage slowly built-up inside her.
"Come here..."
"I'll show you how it's done... Gently."
Yang's temper redlined, confused lilac eyes shifted to anger-fueled crimson ones, the blonde mane behind her slowly igniting. Yang built up her energy for a few seconds.
KRASH!
"HUAAARGH!"
Yang blew through the door in a explosive inferno, effectively reducing the brand-new door and it's frame; into splinters and ash. Still seeing red, Yang outstretched her hand, pointing at what looked like two occupants of the room.
"Get away from RUBY!" She thundered. Blazed hair swaying as she moved. "I'm gonna kick your... kick your... When her eyes finally focused on the two occupants of the room, the inferno that surrounded her extinguished, and the same confusion from before; made it's way back into her head.
Ruby and Cinder are here, but instead of the lewd acts she was expecting, Yang found the exact and unexpected opposite; Ruby was standing in the center of room, an odd looking winter had placed on her head. In her hands was a portion of her prized red cape, which led Yang to glance to where Cinder was; sitting behind a table hands deep in a sewing machine, repairing the other part of Ruby's Cape, looking peeved as ever.
"..." Yang's mouth hung open, but no words came out, she looked down and realized her hand was still pointing at Ruby, so she mumbled the first thing that crossed her dumbstruck mind;
"Nice hat..."
"Thanks..." Ruby spoke in a near whisper.
With exaggerated gestures, Cinder let go of the damaged cape and bound up from her chair, knocking it over in the process. The awkward silence of the room was slowly filled with her heavy breathing. Finally, a dam broke.
"First an Avalanche and now a Walking VOLCANO!" She bellowed directly at Yang.
Now Yang wasn't scared of anything, but the look on Cinder's face was more terrifying than a thousand Ursi. Recoiling at Cinder's outburst, Yang decides it was better to flight than fight right about now.
Cinder glared at the retreating blonde, before looking back to Ruby; her expression unchanging.
"If this happens one more time, you're getting a bill from me!" She shouted.
"Does this mean you're still going to fix my cape?" Ruby dared to ask.
Cinder sighed, "Give it here..."
A/N Bam! Part 2. Holy hell this is fun to write. Don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'll try to include the "Furry Landslide" in this too. I'll be back tomorrow with part 3! Thanks!
