"Well... um... Why... I'm confused, what do we do now?" Ruby struggled to spit out. She stared into Ozpin's eyes looking for an answer that he always seemed to have. She saw nothing he looked just as confused and shocked as she did. His once calm demeanor was breaking.

They were both freaking out. Ozpin got lost in his thoughts trying to figure out what to do.

"Ok you two just need to calm down, it's not like you'll get in trouble. After all it's not like you guys had a choice of who your SoulMate would be" Ironwood told them.

"Ok, I'll try" Ruby said. She really felt better after Ironwood said that they didn't have a choice. Ozpin was another thing though.

"I could get in major trouble! I mean my Soulmate is one of my students, and to make matters worse she is the youngest of all my students." Ozpin retorted.

"Do you hate me being your Soulmate so much Ozpin. I'm just confused and you are in complete denile, you are not the only one who has to deal with this" Ruby said as she started to cry.

"Great Ozpin look at what you've done" Ironwood stepped towards Oz. "look Oz you are not the only one who will get hurt here"

Ozpin was gonna say something but thought otherwise. He turned to a crying ruby and lightly grabbed her shirt and buttoned it back up. He lifted his hand to Ruby's face and whipped away her tears.

"I'm... sorry Miss Rose"

"Ruby" she whispered

"What was that you said?" Ozpin asked

"Please call me Ruby from now on like you did earlier" Ruby pouted

"Sorry Ruby, Im just worried on what might happen" Ozpin replied

"Well it's okay it's not like we are doing anything, we just happen to have each other's names on our chest" Ruby bounced away "by the way can I call you just Ozpin now?"

"I guess that's fine but not around others" Ozpin said as he finally started to calm down.

"Uhhh guys did you forget I was here" Ironwood said breaking into their conversation. "well anyways I'll keep this a secre- Someone is coming"

They went silent and heard the clacking of someone's shoes in Ozpin's office. Both Ironwood and Oz looked to a concerned Ruby and whispered "Go hide." She nodded and walked slowly back to the room where she had woken from her slumber. The unknown person started to walk down the starecase into Ozpin's living quarters.

Pulling the door shut slowly. The instance Ruby shut the door completely Professor Goodwitch had appeared at the bottom of the steps.

"There you guys are, you weren't in the office so I got worried. I came here to ask what happen to Ruby Rose dur-" she started but noticed his appearance and asked "Ozpin are you Okay? What happen to your shirt?"

He looked down and remembered his dramatic outburst. He felt a blush creep up his face. He grabbed his shirt and held it together trying to hide the tattoo.

"He was just stressed out and got his shirt caught in the door and ripped it" Ironwood improvised.

"Oh okay I guess. Well as I was saying I came to ask what happened to Ruby Rose during passing period?"

" She collapsed with burning chest pain" Oz said

"Oh my is she alright, was it her Mate Tattoo?" Glynda asked in a worried tone.

Oz tried to hide his nervousness. He let go of his shirt making sure it still covered his tattoo and said "we don't know for sure, that could possibly be the answer."

Ironwood looked at him and gave him a hardly noticeable smirk. Oz glared at him.

Ruby was leaning against the door trying to hear what that were talking about. Her heart was pounding and she was trying her best to calm her breathing.

She couldn't hear them clearly but she knew they were talking about her, most likely about why she doubled over in pain a few hours ago.

Alone in the room Ruby's thoughts ran wild. She held her hand to her chest right over the tattoo. Ozpin is my Soulmate?! I wonder why though? It makes no sense! I hardly know him the only thing I do know is that his name is Ozpin and that he's the Headmaster of the school. I'm so confused, what should I do. It's not like I don't like Ozpin, it's just odd. He is pretty handsome but other then that I just don't know. I wonder whats gonna happen to us? Ruby thought. She zoned out for a while, but was soon snapped back into reality when Ozpin opened the door to the room making her fall forward crashing into him.

"ACK! I'm so sorry!" she apologised.

"Its quite alright Ruby" Ozpin said with a completely exhausted face. Even though Ozpin had slept, his conversation with Glynda completely drained him. He was bombarded with questions about his health for he seemed Ill and questions on why Ruby was absent and how and why she collapsed.

"Well I think it may be time for me to leave" Ruby said as she walked over to the bed grabbing her shoes and slipped them on. She tied them and she snaped her cloak in place.

"Ah yes, if you have no choice in the matter Ruby you may tell your team about the tattoo and only your team, ok, also Ruby, I can't let you get involved with me, got it?" Ozpin said. "I have no intention of getting involved in a relationship with a student."

Ruby looked hurt for a second but just nodded before Ironwood escorted her to her dorm. This is gonna be bad, real bad. How do I fix this, what am I gonna do. Ozpin thought.

30 minutes later

Ruby made it to her dorm with out incident. Ironwood had taken her to the dorm to make sure she didn't get into trouble. To make sure she too wasn't bombarded by people and their questions.

She opened her door and her team was just sitting there with a glum look on their faces. They looked up to Ruby the moment she walked in. Their faces lit up, Yang was the first to get up then the other two.

Yang had basically threw her self into ruby nearly knocking her to the ground. "What happen to you? we heard in class that you colapsed in the hall in pain!" Yang yelled as her eyes began to water.

"Yes we were all worried, we heard you were carried off by the Headmaster" Weiss added.

"Nobody really knew what happened to you, but I have a pretty good idea of what did" Blake said.

"Guys I'm fine, I'll tell you what happend later" she said as she turned around to Ironwood "thanks for taking me to my dorm General Ironwood"

" No problem Miss Rose, also you can just call me Ironwood" he said.

"Ok thank you Mr. Ironwood, bye" Ruby said as she closed the door.

She turned around to her team surrounding her. "Well Ruby what happen?!" Yang yelled

"You guys aren't gonna drop it until I tell you, right?" she asked.

"Obviously!" Weiss spat out.

"Fine okay guys, Ozpin told me to keep it a secret and only tell you guys if I had no choice, and I guess I have no choice" Ruby said as she made her way to Weiss's bed and sat on it.

They looked puzzled. "What is it that you have to hide, to the point that you could only tell us if you had no choice?" Blake asked in a concerned voice.

"Well... um... during passing period I got caught up in the crowd. Some stuff went down and I was thrown by Cardin into General Ironwood and Professor Ozpin knocking all of us to the ground"

"That ASS!" Yang shouted.

"Well anyways, I started to apologise when I started to feel a burning pain in my chest."

They all instantly knew where she was going with this but they didn't know who. So far in the story she had made contact with three different people. All of them thought Please don't let it be Cardin. Nothing is worse then Cardin.

"Well I guess I passed out somewhere around there" Ruby continued as she reached up to her cloak and unfastened it letting it drop to the bed. Her hands.then went for her shirt, she stoped and continued on with her story, "well when I woke up I was in a unfamiliar room. I freaked out but tried to stay calm. When I left the room I found Professor Ozpin and Mr. Ironwood in the next room."

Everyone leaned in closer in anticipation. She started to unbutton her shirt. "Mr. Ironwood asked to see my Mate Tattoo. I wondered why he wanted to see it. But when I did show him I realised why" Ruby said as she showed her Mate Tattoo. They all had a look of shock on their faces. "Well, it was because Ozpin Was my Soulmate" She ended with a little disbelief in her voice.
