Chapter 3

(A/N: hey... i'm alive i know its a shocker and i'm sorry for being like two weeks late for this chapter i've just had like zero motivation to write and a small case of writer's block so ya that happened and again i apologize. Anyway to clear some things up first Ruby is missing her right eye. Second the process to that Ruby had to go through to become a Faunas was extremely painful and only has about a 40% survival rate, it should aslo be noted that Ruby did not become a faunas by choice. Lastly I apologize for any grammar issues i made and that i probably just spelled faunas wrong a few times. without further ado here is chapter three.

Weiss woke early as she usually did and went about the process of getting ready. Once she was done with her shower she made her way to the small kitchen only to stop short when she entered the living room. On the couch sat Blake snuggled up to Ruby's side. Laughing silently to herself she move in front if them and took out her scroll meaning to take a picture to tease them with later but she was stopped short when Ruby spoke up without opening her eye.

"It would be a bad idea to take that picture."

Weiss huffed not really thrown off by the threat. "Oh? And what will you do about it?"

Ruby opened her eye and gave a toothy smile that showed her sharpened canines. "Or you'll be spending quality time with Typhoon." Weiss went white and immediately put her scroll away.

"Sorry." Weiss said and rushed off to the kitchen. Ruby let out a content sigh and settled back glad that the encounter hadn't woke the sleeping Faunus next to her. That feeling didn't last long though as

She felt Blake start to stir.

"Wha' time isit." Blake mumbled sleepily and Ruby even with her Faunus hearing had to strain to hear it.

"No Idea but Weiss woke up." Ruby replied with a smile.

"Oh then there's no rush." Blake said and curled up into Ruby's side and though Ruby would never say this out loud she could of swore she heard Blake purring.

"Well we're up so we should probably get ready." Ruby stood up and Blake reluctantly followed. "Hey Blake."

"Yes" Blake replied her voice returning to it's usual monotone state.

"I was wondering if you'd be willing to ditch your afternoon classes and come with me shopping for new clothes seeing as I only have one pair?" Ruby asked and Blake stood there for a moment before replying.

"Isn't the leader supposed to set an example?" Blake lightly teased.

"Hey I am setting an example… Just not a good one." Ruby smoothly replied.

"Sure I could use a Break anyway." Ruby nodded and made her way towards her room but was stopped by Blake's voice.

"Wait, Ruby what does this mean for us I know we're more than friends." Blake stated with curiosity.

"We'll talk about it while we're in Vale." Ruby said before entering her room. An hour later team RWBY entered the mess hall to grab breakfast. Once they were seated however they heard a slightly accented voice cry out in pain. "Please stop that hurts." Turning to the voice they saw Cardin pulling on a rabbit Faunus' ears. All of team RWBY glared daggers at the bully and Ruby stood up and made her way over.

"Hey fuckface!" Was the only warning Cardin got before he was punched into a nearby wall. Ruby then turned to the Faunus who was massaging one of her Rabbit ears. " are you alright?" She asked and the Faunus nodded.

"Y-yes thank you, my name is Velvet by the way." Velvet introduced herself.

"They call me Ruby and it's no problem but if you'll excuse me I have to take out the trash." Ruby turned to Cardin who was now slowly getting up off the floor. Before he could react he was pressed up against the wall with a sickle mere centimeters from his throat. "What did I say about bullying?" Ruby asked in a voice that made those close by step back slightly in fear.

"T-to s-st-stop." Cardin stuttered out flinching at the glare leveled at him.

"And you didn't. Know that the only reason you aren't a pile of bones on the floor is because I'm in a good mood but cross me again in anyway or if I hear even a rumor about you picking on someone the only way you will leave my sight will be in a body bag." Ruby threatened and Cardin was doing his best to try and disappear. Without looking back she sheathed her weapon and returned to her table the other students gave her a wide berth as to not be the next target.

Once sitting back down she began munching on her plate of cookies as if nothing was wrong. Sensing all the stars still on her Ruby looked around the mess hall with a glare that would freeze an iceberg (yes I mean an iceberg) and everyone went back to eating.

"Wow." Was all Yang said looking at her sister and she became painfully aware that this was no longer the sweet childish Ruby this was a matured and skillful Ruby that wouldn't hesitate to put someone in check. Yang cracked a smile. "That was badass little sis." Ruby just smiled. The smile vanished however when the intercom turned on.

"Would Ruby Rose report to the headmaster's office." Ruby sighed and said a quick goodbye to her team.


Ruby leaned against the side of elevator as it reached the headmasters office. Stepping out she saw three people already there. Ozpin sat behind his desk while Goodwitch was sitting on the corner and the last person that caught her attention the most was her uncle Qrow.

"Ahh, miss Rose thank you for coming." Ozpin said politely taking a sip of coffee.

"Cut the crap Ozzie, am I here for sending Cardin into a brick wall cause he fucking deserved it." Ruby stated getting straight to the point.

"Wow" Qrow said observing Ruby for a second before turning to Ozpin. "You're right she has changed… And I approve." Goodwitch facepalmed at the last part.

"No, miss Rose that isn't why you're here though now I want to know why you put one if my students into a wall?" Ozpin said with a raised eyebrow.

"Cause he was standing where I wanted to stand." Ruby stated seriously and every one in the room sweat dropped. "Naw I'm just kidding he was bullying someone so i sought to correct him and made it clear that if I caught him again he would have to have all his affairs in order." This made the three unsure if they should be worried or relieved.

"Alright well on to the reason we called you here, we have no idea how much you've improved over the course of you being absent from the school so we think that an evaluation is in order to gauge your skills." Goodwitch said after a fees moments of Silence.

"Ugh fine but let's make this quick cause I've got a date with a sexy faunes from my team later and I'd rather not miss it."

"Ya, totally changed… In so proud." Qrow said throwing his arms around Ruby and crying big anime tears.

"Nice to see you too." Ruby said hugging back before pulling away.

"Ya but you're still short." Qrow said with a smirk before reaching for his flask only to find it missing. He freaked out for a moment and started emptying his pockets but a giggle interrupted him. He looked back at Ruby to see her holding his flask.

"Just for that short comment you don't get

The rest of whatever's in here." Ruby smirked and downed all of the alcohol left in the flask before tossing it back.

"You do realize you're not old enough to drink right." Goodwitch deadpanned.

Ruby let out a short chuckle. "Old enough to kill old enough to drink." (A/N: I've always liked this saying.)

Goodwitch narrowed her eyes slightly. "And what do you know about killing?" She questioned suspiciously.

"Pray you never find out." Ruby shot back.

"Right." Ozpin said standing up. "Let get to it then seeing as how the training room are being used we will go to the open space by the cliff leading to the forest.


As they all stood at the cliff Ruby asked who she'd be fighting. Qrow just grinned and took up a fighting stance.

"Well this should get interesting." Ruby said as she took up a fighting stance. Qrow looked at her like she was crazy.

"Aren't you gonna take out your weapon?"

Ruby smirked. "I'll take the fight seriously when you do." Qrow sighed and took out his sword and looked at Ruby expectantly. Ruby just shook her head and using her semblance ran at him trying to punch him in the face. Qrow being an expert hunter simply dodged out of the way and went for a horizontal cut but Ruby back flipped over the blade and swiped at Qrow's feet in an attempt to trip him. Qrow's dumped over Ruby's leg but as he came down she sent a powerful uppercut straight to his balls. Qrow gasped and stumbled away.

"Cheap shot."

"Well gonna take the fight seriously or do I need to hit you in the balls again."

"Fine dammit." Qrow's said and transformed his sword into a scythe.

"Good." Ruby said throwing off her cloak to reveal two sickles strapped to her sides and chains wrapped around each arm. Grabbing the sickles and attaching them to the chains she gave a challenging smirk and ran at Qrow again using her semblance except this time she was going so fast that Qrow only barely managed to dodge. Qrow began slicing at Ruby with incredible speed pushing her back near the the edge of the cliff. Ruby looked for a weakness in arias stance and found none so she did the only thing she could, she turned and jumped off the side of the cliff and on the way down she used a sickle to stop herself from falling. When Qrow rushed to the DVD and pear over he narrowly dodged a sickle as it came rocketing toward him where it stuck into the ground. Ruby pulled herself up the side of the cliff and using her semblance ran up the side launching into the air over Qrow. Using the sickle that was still stuck into the ground she pulled herself down speed toward Qrow and pushing him on the defense. He jumped back and put some distance between them. Ruby narrowed her eyes and threw both sickles past Qrow.

"Ha, you missed." He said with a smirk.

"No I didn't." Came the reply before she yanked hard on the chains and the sickles shot back towards her but ended up wrapping around Qrow.

"Wha- oh gods dammit." Qrow said and was about to break out but Ozpin's voice stopped him.

"Bravo miss Rose, I think I've seen quite enough to know that you are still capable to attend Beacon. Though I must ask what happened to Crescent Rose?" Ozpin asked taking a sip of coffee.

"It broke." Ruby bluntly replied. Ozpin nodded and Ruby released Qrow.

"Damn kid you've gotten better, who trained you to use those?" Qrow asked sheathing his weapon.

"A friend." Ruby said getting a far away look in her eye. "Anyway now that this is done I better go but don't be a stranger stop by sometime and we can swap some war stories, heaven knows I have some." Ruby said that last part more to herself than anyone and sped away before any questions could be asked.

"What do you think that last part was about?" Qrow questioned.

"Sadly I do not know but I can only say that whatever it is won't be very pleasant." Ozpin said making his way back to his office.


Ruby waited outside if Blake's classroom as the bell rang and people filed out.

"Hey Ruby." Blake said with a smile that Ruby returned.

"Hello, c'mon let's split before anyone can stop us." Ruby grabbed Blake's hand and took off in a light jog towards the airship port. Once on board Blake collapsed into her seat.

"Please I slower next time." Blake said once she caught her breath.

"What? It was a light jog." Ruby defended.

"Ya for you, for everyone else it was a sprint." Blake deadpanned. Ruby gave a sheepish smile.

"Uh sorry then."

"It's all good. So where is our first stop?"

"You'll see." Ruby said ominously. After they arrived in vale Ruby dragged Blake to a fancy restaurant.

"Uh Ruby what are we doing here?" Blake asked as they were seated.

"I thought we could grab some lunch."

"Well that's good thinking but I doubt I can afford anything on this menu." Blake said scanning said menu.

"Don't worry I'm paying." Ruby stated and Blake was about to protest but Ruby held up her hand. "It's already decided besides how could I let someone so cute go broke trying to pay for a meal." That effectively shut Blake up as she tried to not to blush.

"So do you want to talk about us?" Blake asked once they had ordered.

"Well ya but I thought it was obvious I mean I'm buying you lunch I keep complimenting you and if you would let me I would kiss you right here and now." Ruby explained.

"R-really?" Blake stuttered out.

"Really." With that Ruby leaned across the table and captured Blake's lips with hers. They pulled away after a moment Blake sporting a blush and Ruby sporting a grin. "Now does that answer your question?" Ruby asked and Blake could only nod.
