A/N

Not going to say much other then a slightly trigger warning for a scene at the end of the chapter, if you wish to not read what happens then when the bold and underlined word 'Neo' comes up do not read after that.

Chapter 2

It had been a week since Ruby had met Neo, and for that whole week she couldn't concentrate in class her mind constantly on the silent girl, she was still confused as to why she was crying and why she didn't speak if she said she could.

With these thoughts going through her head Ruby decided to ask someone about it, but who? Yang? No she couldn't ask her then she'd ask about why Ruby wants to know and Ruby couldn't tell her it's someone they are meant to be fighting.

For this same reason she couldn't ask anyone on her team they would just bug her with questions, she could ask someone on team JNPR but who? Nora was too hyper and wouldn't give her a straight answer, Jaune wouldn't understand and Pyrrha could maybe help her but she would probably ask why and maybe tell Yang about it and Ren well Ruby didn't really know Ren all that well so couldn't really ask him out of the blue.

So with that in her mind Ruby headed down to the shooting range that was inside the school in hopes that someone there could help her.

Walking through the range Ruby walked past different stations which some held students firing their own weapons or weapons from the schools gun room.

Approaching her intended target she waited until the girl had finished her firing before approaching her.

Velvet had just finished firing a pistol she had borrowed from the schools armory and was in the process of pulling her target towards her when she heard someone behind her.

Putting her weapon down she turned around and saw the small red and black haired girl known as Ruby.

Smiling at the younger girl Velvet held a hand up to tell her to wait a second as she went about checking her target and seeing how well she did, once that was done she moved away from the station and headed towards the armory to hand the gun back, once that was all done the two girls walked out of the range.

Ruby was worried the whole time about how to ask her about what she was thinking, she didn't know the older girl all that well other than a few times when she spoke with her and once when she defended the bunny faunus from bully's namely team CRDL.

"Hello Ruby, what can I help you with?" Velvet's accented voice brought Ruby out of her thoughts.

Ruby looked around seeing quite a few students around before turning back to Velvet to speak to her, "Could we um go somewhere a little quieter? Please?" Ruby asked pleadingly.

Velvet noticed the worried look on Ruby's face and also how she looked at the other students around them as well.

"Sure, follow me we'll go to my dorm." Velvet spoke and quickly led Ruby to her dorm room.

Neither spoke on the way to the second year dorm rooms, they were the same as first years but were larger and had two bedrooms for the team to sleep in.

It was quiet walking through the halls that was until they arrived at Velvets room as soon as Velvet opened the door she was pulled in which caused her quite loudly to yelp out in surprise.

Before Velvet could say anything she was hugged tightly and her cheek was kissed and she was blushing too much to speak.

Ruby watched what happened and blushed as she saw the leader of team CFVY kiss Velvet, before anything else could happen Ruby coughed to get their attention.

Coco turned and saw the black haired girl and smirked at her while still holding Velvet, "Hello sweetie, what can we do for you?"

Velvet still held a blush on her face but spoke up for Ruby, "Um she needed to speak with me about something."

"Oh? Ok then come in." Coco spoke while letting go of Velvet to move into the room further.

Ruby entered the room, looking around the small living room sort of thing and a couple doors leading to what she guessed was the bathroom and bedrooms, she also noticed that the male team members weren't there.

The two older girls took a seat on the couch in the room together while Ruby sat near them on a separate chair.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Coco decided to start after the other two girls were silent.

Ruby thought for a minute about how to explain it but first asked, "Um first before I say anything, could you not tell Yang or any of my team for that matter about what we talk about?"

Velvet and Coco shared a look of confusion between them slightly confused as to the request but nodded to Ruby that they wouldn't say anything.

Relaxing a little Ruby began to explain about what happened a week ago, the fight against Roman and of the girl who helped him escape as well.

Once she had explained that she then spoke of the girl she had found a week ago and what she was like and some of what she said.

Coco and Velvet listened intently already knowing some of this from the newspaper but they didn't now Ruby met the girl after the events happened.

"So what should I do? I don't know why she doesn't talk if she said she could but also I don't know what I should do because she's the enemy or at least I think she is." Ruby said worry filling her voice, as she was confused about all of this, she didn't tell them yet what her inner thoughts said as well.

Coco was the first to answer, "Well I guess its up to you, honestly I would say you turn her in but from what you said that she just disappeared when she helped Roman then I don't think that would work but she doesn't seem like your typical bad guy." Shrugging slightly not completely sure what Ruby could do there.

Velvet was the next one to speak answering one of Ruby's other questions, "Her not speaking that could be a few things, she might not like to speak or it could be something else. She was crying when you found her right?"

Seeing the nod to answer her question Velvet continued, "Well maybe something happened to her which made her not want to speak or for her to lose her voice, I'm not too sure there are a couple of reasons that she might not speak but I'm not completely sure."

Ruby thought about what the two had said and some of it made sense, so she decided next time she saw Neo she would ask her.

The younger girl looked between the other two in the room and remembered what she saw when they had first arrived and decided to ask, "Are you two together?"

Ruby noticed the older girls tense up in response to her question, and it took Coco to tensely nod.

Ruby just smiled at the two, "Its ok, you both look happy together and that's all that matters but if you don't mind me asking um how did you know you liked each other?" Curious as to what attraction was.

Coco answered first, "Well the first day here I saw Velvet with her rabbit ears and everything and I just thought she was quite cute and she was very shy and well she was getting bullied for being a Faunus but I quickly took care of that." Smirking as she finished speaking remembering what she did to the bullies, carrying a bag, which weighed over forty kilograms, had its merits.

Ruby thought back to when she met Neo and the strange thoughts she had during and after her conversation.

"So you were attracted to her then? By how she looked?" Ruby asked curiously.

Coco thought her answer through before replying, "I guess her looks made me interested and as I got to know her I became attracted to her."

Ruby just nodded and was lost in thought which didn't go unnoticed by the other two in the room.

So Velvet decided to ask softly, "Ruby are you attracted to this girl?"

Ruby hearing the question blushed and responded, "Um I don't know I had some strange thoughts that she looked cute and her name was cute, does that mean I'm attracted to her?"

Velvet smiled softly at Ruby, it was clear of her innocence she held at a number of things relating to things like relationships.

While Velvet was thinking this Coco was the one to answer Ruby's question, "I would guess that you seem to be physically attracted to her and you enjoyed talking to her didn't you?"

Ruby nodded her head quickly; she was hoping to talk with the other girl again soon so she definitely enjoyed talking with her.

Coco just smiled knowingly at the young girl, "Well I guess time will tell whether you are or not, just let it happen naturally."

Ruby nodded her head again understanding what she had meant, and then smiled towards the two girls, "Thank you for all the help, and uh about telling people about this?"

Coco and Velvet both smiled and Velvet spoke for the both, "Don't worry Ruby your secret is safe with us."

Ruby smiled again and hugged the two girls, "Thank you." Called out as she ran out the door smiling happily as she headed back to her dorm.

While Ruby went back to her room Velvet and Coco stayed in silence until they knew Ruby had gone and Velvet turned to Coco speaking softly.

"We're going to watch her aren't we?"

Coco hummed in agreement while nodding, "We will, we don't want anything to happen to her if this turns out to be some sort of trick."

Velvet nodded and hugged Coco, "Well she's safe for the moment."

Coco again nodded and returned the hug.

Back with Ruby

Ruby was happily running down the halls of the school although she wasn't using her semblance to avoid any problems that might occur with her doing so.

However what Ruby didn't notice was some students turning the corner as she got to her dorms hallway which caused her to run into them.

Next thing Ruby knew she was on the floor and on top of someone, getting up Ruby started to apologize to the girl she had knocked over when a voice run out.

A tall woman dressed in the transfer students uniform spoke to Ruby in silky smooth voice, "Ah it's alright little one, though I think Neopolitan is hurt."

Ruby quickly looked down at a small girl with brown hair and blue eyes on the floor in front of her, dressed the same as the woman who spoke first.

Ruby moved to help the girl up and while she did it she saw tears being held in the eyes of the girl under her but when the girl met Ruby's eyes the tears disappeared and they seemed to light up.

Ruby didn't understand why the girl's eyes lit up but she apologized to the girl, "I'm so sorry for knocking you over."

The same smooth voice spoke once more, "Ah Neopolitan can't speak she's mute but she accepted your apology."

Ruby nodded her head in response and then introduced herself, "I'm Ruby Rose, you're transfer students aren't you? Welcome to Beacon."

The same person responded, "My names Cinder, you already know Neopolitan and the other girl is Emerald and the guy is Mercury."

Smiling her innocent smile Ruby spoke, "Hello, I hope you enjoy your stay here."

Cinder smiled at the little girl, "Oh I'm sure our stay will be very good, anyway we need to get to our room so goodbye."

Turning to leave Cinder started to walk away with Emerald and Mercury in tow however the other girl Neopolitan stayed and was starring at Ruby.

Cinder when she saw Neo not following her turned back and said, "Come along Neopolitan we need to go back to our dorm."

Neo held up a finger in a gesture for Cinder to wait a minute, which caused Cinder to look at her in annoyance but held her tongue, as there was other people around.

Neo turned to Ruby who still hadn't worked out who she was yet and she quickly changed her eye color to tell Ruby who she was, then Neo handed the girl a piece of paper before going to follow Cinder.

Ruby stared after the girl as she walked away and when she disappeared from view Ruby looked down to her hand to see a note written in familiar handwriting.

'Meet me on the roof at midnight and I'll explain.'

Ruby looked at the note and then back to where Neo had walked off to and then again towards where Velvets and Coco's room was but quickly decided against telling them yet.

As Ruby headed back to her dorm room she was wondering what was going on with Neo and who those people with her were.

Neo

Neo caught up to the other three and when they arrived at their dorm room Cinder quickly spoke to Emerald and Mercury.

"Why don't you two have a look around to see if you can find anything we can use?" Although a question the way Cinder spoke left no room for debate.

Emerald nodded happily and dragged Mercury out of the room before he could protest.

With the other two out of the room Cinder turned to Neo and smiled sinisterly at the small girl, "I think someone needs a reminder of who is in charge and to obey my orders."

Cinder grabbed the smaller girl around the neck and threw her onto the bed, generating a fire ball in her hand she walked slowly over to the prone girl and when she reached her Cinder ripped Neo's shirt off revealing her back which was covered in a number of different scars, including burn scars.

"Lets make sure you remember this time." Cinder spoke as she moved her hand to the girls back.

Neo just whimpered and buried her face into the pillow on the bed to muffle her voice, but nothing would come out anyway and no one would come to help her.

A/N

So firstly Coco, I'm not sure if it's the voice actress for her but I see Coco as a sort of older sister type person like Yang but not Yang and also I liked Coco in the last episode so I wanted to include her in the story and I remember seeing something not long after the episode released about a miniguns lightest version was somewhere around 40kg ish so yeah that's that.

Second and maybe more important I don't honestly understand attraction and I mean in the sense of I don't understand when people say 'Oh she has a nice body' or other variants of that but I don't really get it so talking about Ruby being attracted to Neo is slightly hard for me to do so please bare with me.

Lastly I have some of the story planned out but I don't have any chapters written out so its pretty much that once I've written the chapter and feel happy with it I post it so it will be random updates, depends on my moods, college work and which story I want to write for.

Also side note as well, I am thinking of doing a Pacific Rim, RWBY AU again Ruby x Neo and I have some rough ideas of characters and stuff but I want to know if people would first like to see this and also if people want me to follow the movie or have my own Jaegers and storyline with it loosely based on the movie?

Anyway thanks for reading and please review.
