Warning: This chapter contains a bit of lemon.

Her assassination attempt had failed. Ruby was mopey and depressed, and her team members had noticed. They tried various things to cheer her up, from new headphones to her favorite foods, but they didn't realize that Ruby just needed someone to be with her, someone to love, and Ruby herself was silent on that topic.

A week after her failed attempt, Ruby was beginning to crack. Maybe Yang or Blake or Weiss will love me, she thought to herself. Maybe one of them could fill that hole in her heart and she wouldn't have to kill people anymore. Maybe, maybes, maybe. I need to go talk to them.

It was Saturday morning, and Blake had already gotten up and left to get food. Yang was snoring on her bed, while Weiss was taking a shower. Ruby walked over to Yang and shook her shoulder gently.

"Hey, Yang?"

"Yeah, sis?" she muttered tiredly. "Can't you let me sleep a little bit longer?"

"I will. Just let me ask you something. Do you love me?" Ruby, dressed in her thin, stretchy top pajamas and boy shorts, had crawled into Yang's bed and was gently caressing Yang's hard stomach.

"Stop it! That tickles!" Yang murmured. "Of course I love you! You're my favorite little sister."

Ruby let out a little sigh and hugged Yang closer. That wasn't the answer she was looking for, but how much could Ruby hope for? They had been adoptive sisters for years now, and Yang had always treated her as a real, biological sister. There was no hope of that love developing into something even deeper.

Yang passionately kissed Blake as they rolled around in one of the more secluded gardens of the school. It was just after lunch, and Yang had told Ruby and Weiss that she was going to hang out with friends. That wasn't a lie, really, Yang told herself as she flipped herself on top of Blake. There was rarely a moment they could be alone together, and so this Saturday hangout time had become something of a regular occurrence. They weren't really sure how others would react to their same sex relationship, so they kept their affections mostly under wrap and hidden away.

Blake began stripping off her clothes even as they continued to kiss, their tongues sliding against each other's and their hands roaming over each other's bodies. Yang reached down through Blake's shorts and began stroking Blake's soaking core, inciting small purrs as her bestial nature slipped out. At the same time, Yang reached upwards and undid the bow on Blake's head, stroking her soft, furry ears.

In one fluid motion, Yang yanked off Blake's shorts and stockings. She moved downwards and began kissing the areas around her wetness, prompting Blake to grasp her hair and push her head down into her mound. Yang obliged and began licking her slit and nibbling on her bundle of nerves, gently building Blake up to a release. Blake moaned as she shuddered, coming closer to an orgasm and grasping Yang's hair even tighter. The moment Yang began to thrust her fingers into Blake's entrance and stimulate her g-spot, Blake began to spasm and cum, locking her legs around Yang's head and holding Yang to her core. Her depths were on fire as Yang's fingers continued to relentlessly thrust and her tongue continued to lick, encouraging Blake to cry out Yang's name.

A few minutes later, Yang sat back up as Blake was eagle-spread on the ground, still twitching and smiling. Yang stripped off the rest of her clothes and leaned into Blake, giving her another kiss and holding her tight.

"C'mon Blake," Yang breathed into her ear. "It's your turn."

It was night-time. Ruby had passed the afternoon working in the training room and trying to exhaust away her depression. Walking back to her dorm room, she met Blake and Yang in hallway heading towards their suite.

"Hey Ruby, before we go to dinner, can I say something to you and Weiss?" Yang asked.

"Huh? Sure, Yang. Did something happen again?"

"No, no, nothing like that! I just want to clear something up with you and Weiss."

Ruby noticed Blake giving a discrete little hug to Yang, and Yang looking back down and smiling.

They arrived in their room and sat down on the couch, waiting for Weiss to arrive. A few minutes later, Weiss appeared, arms filled with books and paper, stumbling into the room. When Ruby got up and offered to help, Weiss smiled gratefully at her. Ruby's heart stuttered from the image of Weiss's beautiful face filling her vision, and she nearly fell flat on her face.

When Yang was sure that they were both watching, she got up, pulling Blake with her, and gave her a long kiss. Ruby's jaw dropped open while Weiss just smiled.

"Me and Blakey here don't want to hide our relationship anymore. I just wanted to be the first one to tell you guys that."

Weiss's smile only grew as she saw how much they loved each other.

Yang noticed and asked, "Weiss? Why are you smiling so much?"

"I noticed a long time ago, and I'm really glad you guys decided to go public with your feelings. Did you really think that I, Weiss Schnee, would fall asleep while studying? I'm not like Ruby here," she scoffed.

Ruby's heart grew brittle as she saw how many around her had found love. Still, she tried to be happy for them. Giving the brightest smile she could muster, Ruby exclaimed, "That's great!"

Upon hearing Ruby's acceptance, Yang smiled and kissed Blake again.

"Uhm, you guys can use one of the guest rooms to do that," Weiss pointed out.

Blake grabbed Yang's hand and smiled wickedly, dragging Yang into one of the guest rooms and shutting the door.

"We'll come down for dinner so-mmf!" Yang tried to say.

Weiss shook her head. "Come on, Ruby, let's go get some food."

"Hey Weiss, do you have anyone you like?" Ruby ventured cautiously.

To her surprise, Weiss actually began to blush and tried to hide her flushing cheeks with her collar.

"M-maybe." Weiss said.

Ruby attempted to smile and didn't delve deeper. She actually just wanted to scream and shout and cry, and she couldn't trust her voice at that moment. How did love find everyone but pass by her? She couldn't take it anymore.

"Weiss, go on without me. I just remembered that I had to do something." Ruby tried to put a neutral expression on her face, but she knew that her façade was quickly crumbling.

Weiss, still blushing and lost in her thoughts, nodded and walked on without Ruby. The moment Weiss was out of sight, Ruby sprinted to an empty classroom, ran in, and locked the door. School was over for the day, and most students were out at lunch and wouldn't return until later.

Wrapping her cloak around herself, Ruby sat in down in a corner and sobbed.

Note: So, that was the 4th chapter. I tried making this chapter more lovey-dovey. I'm not good at writing these things. I hope it was OK. :3 Next chapter will be more... brutal.
