A/N: Hiya! I'm back! And I bring forth to you noble readers another chapter! BAM!

So thanks for the the reviews. I'll respond to them at the "A/N:" at the bottom.

So without further ado let us proceed to chapter 3.


Ruby bashed her head to her book once more. Seriously, she had tried her best to listen to professor Port's lesson about Grimm vulnerabilities. Fortunately, the mustached professor hadn't and didn't looked like he was about to indulge into another one of his three hour tale about his achievements. Not that she didn't admire the things he had done, but the way he talked was just so boring that it made his story inferior.

She groaned as she lifted her head and refocused her attention to the teacher currently talking in front.

"Ho ho young students. As you can see," He puffed his chest proudly. His mustache mysteriously twirling without being touched. "This new Grimm that we call the Hannibal is one of the new species of Grimm that we have seen."

Ruby took a long look at the illustration plastered on the board. Although the sketch was a little vague, she was able to make out most of the major parts of the body and it's appearance. She pulled out a notebook and started drawing the Grimm whilst paying attention to the lecture.

"This beast is often mistaken as an Alpha Beowolf with the way it stands on its own legs." He paused. His eyes scanning over the students to see if they were paying attention. "But, there are differences that can be spotted on these creatures."

A hand shot up from in front of us. Said hand belonging to a girl with sky blue hair tied in a high ponytail. Professor Port immediately called her out.

"Sir, what are these differences that they bore from an Alpha beowolf." She asked and sat down just right after.

"Ho ho, the difference between the Hannibal from the Alpha beowolf is that the body plates on a Hannibal consumes most of it's body therefore leaving very little vulnerable points. The Hannibal also has retractable claws on both of its arms and has a very long tail." Professor Port explained as the students nodded in unison.

When Ruby was finished with her drawing, she was quite happy with the results. It looked like an Alpha beowolf from afar but with the newfound details that she added. She could easily see the differences that they bore. She quickly scribbled some parts that she found interesting on the illustration.

The drawing was that of a larger beowolf with a longer tail and more bone plates on it's body. It also had two hands with a claw coming out of each arm. A pair of horns on it's head and a large crest on it's chest area.

The bell rung and students who were not paying and did not pay much attention quickly left the room. Ruby sighed as she made to stand. Some students really didn't appreciate that these types of classes were important. They were going to learn the importance of it soon enough. Wei-.

She bit her lip in instinct. She was still not over that incident that occurred with them a few days ago. She knew that Weiss also wasn't, with the way that she kept glancing at her in worry and sadness she guessed that she was trying her hardest to get an opening to talk with her.

She internally sighed as she left the room with Yang in tow. She didn't meant to dodge her partner every time she made a move to talk to her, she was only troubled by it and she was still trying to grasp the events that occurred.

"Sup, Rubes." She glanced to her sister walking beside her.

"Hey Yang... " Ruby responded dejectedly as they made their way to the cafeteria.

"Geez, you still hung up on not getting those parts." Ruby winced at that. She recalled the feeling of what happened the next day when both she and Weiss got back.

"Hey Ruby, you okay?" Yang nudged her sister as they made their way to Professor Port's class.

Ruby knew she didn't look better. Her hair was unkempt and slightly messy, her eyes were unfocused and distant like she was physically there but her mind was elsewhere. Still, she forced out a smile and turned to her sister.

"Of course." Though she knew from the way Yang looked at her that she had doubts believing her. Still, her sister smiled nonetheless and resumed talking to her about her plans for the day. Even if she knew that Ruby wasn't paying attention.

To Ruby, it was like a stab to the heart. Having to lie to your sister even if she knew that Yang could see right through her. She clenched her fist as they continued to walk.

She could've just said it to her sister. Ask Yang for advice, but she knew better to ask Yang for advice with this matter. She'd never live it down with the constant teasing coming from her sister.

She sighed. Better to do this herself than ask Yang for advice.

In the end, she was forced to lie to Yang again. She knew Yang was up to something. If the knowing grin plastered on her face wasn't enough to tell her about any devious plans that she was cooking up.

"Soooo, got any plans for tomorrow sis?" Yang asked.

"Nope." Ruby responded, popping the p. She turned once more to Yang. That same wide grin plastered on her face. "Why?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing." Yang looked to the other side while whistling.

'Yep, she's got something planned.' Ruby had to suppress the urge to interrogate her sister for details. Ruby just hoped it wasn't something related to her problem with Weiss.

She sighed to herself as they continued to walk towards the cafeteria.

The day passed on quietly, a little too quiet for her taste. Nothing happened between the two of them. She still refused to interact with her partner.

Now, she was seated on a rubber tire attached to a branch of the sturdy tree found in the center of the garden.

She swung herself back and forth in a light pace whilst humming a soft tune to herself.

Her feet would sometimes brush against the soft grass below. The way the action felt soothing to her legs was divine. The wind drifting across her hair in a gentle fashion.

She brushed her hair back and resumed gazing at the setting sun. It's beauty unparalleled by most, if not all, objects of desirable beauty.

As the sun started to set and the moon slowly started to rose high into the sky, so did the warm sensation of both the sun and the grass.

Ruby stood up and walked away, but not without casting one last glance towards the tire that she and her partner used to play together. Err... more likely she dragging her partner to play with her.

As she looked back, she imagined a younger version of herself and her partner having fun under the sun. The image brought a small smile on her face.

She bid farewell to the memory and walked away towards her dorm.


Ruby quietly entered the room. Her eyes trailed to her team who were all resting in peace.

Blake who was laid in a comfortable position with her prized possession held in her hand.

Yang whose body was sprawled in a very ridiculous manner. Ruby's eye twitched as she noticed her sister's foot swaying freely on the edge of the bed.

She let out a sigh at how ridiculous Yang could be when she was asleep.

And last but not the least, her eyes donned on her partner's frame. She easily noticed how stiff and messy Weiss looked like. Her hair was a mess, eyes that revealed to have leaked a few tears. Yet the most saddening sight was how her hands wrapped around her own body in an attempt to provide comfort to herself.

She was hurting too... and she hadn't even seen the signs.

She moved and sat on the edge of her bed. She quickly covered her partner with the bed sheet.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, She felt a tight grip on her arm.

"R... Ru... Ruby." Weiss mumbled in her sleep.

Ruby inched inched herself closer to the heiress as she laid the sleeping heiress head on her lap. She gently stroked Weiss' hair which promptly stopped the asleep heiress from fidgeting in her place.

'So cute...' Ruby mused to herself.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw a flashing light being emitted by one of the pillows.

She reached out to the pillow to gain better vision. Upon removing the pillow, it turned out to be Weiss' scroll.

With a sigh, she took the phone, only to drop it moments later as she stared at the wallpaper in shock.

She picked it up once more although her hands were shaking a little.

On the screen was a picture of Weiss and her. She still remembered that day. It was the day after they got back from their first mission.

Of course, she was able to convince Weiss to take a picture with just the two of them and the setting sun as the background.

She had thought that Weiss had been irritated by her past action, yet the look on her face on the photo told otherwise. Her smile was a little crooked, but it was still a honest to god smile.

A small smile formed on her face as she shut off her partner's scroll. She stroked her pale white hair once more as she made to stand. She stiffled a yawn as she rubbed half-asleep eyes.

Ruby gave one last glance towards the sleeping heiress. She climbed up to her bed and went to sleep.


A/N: Yo! I know I got this uploaded late. *sigh* But I have a good reason for that.

Apparently, this is the part of the story where I imagined 5 scenarios to happen. (Realistic IMO) and that was the hard part! I couldn't choose which one would've fitted the story best.

Anyways, a short chapter in Ruby's PoV. What are your thoughts on this?

And what happened to Weiss? Oh my kappa! Is she sick? That's for you to find out. XD

Also, I'm writing another story soon. The main character in that fic is going to make a cameo in the next chapter. See if you can find out.

This fic is nearing it's closure. A few chapters left. Thanks for the support tho. :D

And I don't know which to pick between (Weiss') or (Weiss's). I may have made mistakes on that part. Point it out if I did so I won't make the same mistake next time. :)


And it's review time!

thiple: Thanks! I was nervous because I thought the pacing was going too fast. And regarding my other fic( A Second Chance). That one's getting a re-write and I mean a total re-write where I change all, if not most of the content. Anyways, thanks for loving this story!

OverDude12: You are as awesome as ever. :3 Thanks for the love!


That's it for now readers. Will upload a lengthy chapter next since this one is a little short.

Follow if you like it.

Favorite if you love it.

Review if you love me. xD

See ya at Chapter IV!

darkgaurdian: Yeah, I'm trying to make it interesting while maintaining that lightness in it. I'm not aiming for a very heavy fic, but I will try to make this as interesting to the standards that I presume are A-okay. Thanks for reviews.
