'She's getting better,' Weiss thought to herself as she dodged Yang's numerous punches, each one aimed at her joints. "Good, Yang! Attacking a vampire's organs does nothing…" she paused, earning a smirk from Yang.

"And a strike to the heart is only good against a decapitated vampire, I know!" she yelled back, striking out at Weiss again.

"But it makes you predictable," Weiss glared, flying up and close to Yang, grabbing her arm and throwing her over the shoulder. "Don't let your opponent read you!"

"Gah!" Yang growled in pain, slowly rising from the ground and rubbing her butt. "Ooh, you really do enjoy being rough with me, don't you?" she asked with a wink, though it turned into a wince as Weiss slapped her upside the head. "Joking! Joking!"

"It was a terrible joke," Weiss muttered, turning to Ruby who was sitting on a log and eating a cookie, a smile on her face as she checked the timer.

"You lasted two minutes and three seconds, I win!" she shouted with a fist pump, earning a growl from Yang.

"Ooh, you beat me by four seconds, so impressive," she clapped, looking over to Weiss with a glare. "Can I go one more round? I wanna show Ruby what her big sis can really do!" she grinned, slamming her fist together and cracking her neck, raring to go once again against the elder vampire.

"...No, I don't think so," Weiss shook her head, unsheathing Myrtenaster and walking away from the two girls. "I think it's about time for you two to learn how to double team a vampire. If you can't beat one on its own…" she paused, turning around and taking a combat stance. "Then you'll just have to overwhelm them with numbers."

"Uh...You sure about this, Weiss?" Yang asked, her smirk turning into a wild grin. "I mean, you're strong and all, but with our teamwork, I'm pretty sure this isn't a Weiss decision!" Weiss couldn't stop the groan from escaping her lips, oh she was going to make Yang pay for that.

"Yeah, I agree with Yang," Ruby nodded as she went to stand next to her sister. "I mean, Yang's already as strong as you, and I'm faster than you, I can't see how you can win this," despite voicing her concerns, Ruby unhooked Crescent Rose from her back and aimed it towards Weiss.

"Hmm, you're right on both accounts, and I'm incredibly proud of the fact," Weiss said with a smile, though it quickly turned into a hard glare. "But that means nothing when my skill and experience far outweighs your own."

In an instant Ruby was behind her, it was so predictable Weiss could hardly contain her laughter as she lifted and planted both her feet against the sixteen-year-old's gut, kicking off of her and spiraling directly towards a shocked Yang.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Yang panicked as she brought up Ember Celica, barely blocking Weiss' strike, before losing her breath as Weiss kicked at her diaphragm, causing her to fall to her knees in pain.

"Yaargh!" Ruby screamed, quickly recovering from Weiss kick and appeared in front of Weiss, going for a downward strike. Weiss had already moved to the side before Ruby even appeared before her, having predicted her attack the moment Yang's knees buckled. Grabbing onto Ruby's scythe she yanked the weapon out of her grasp, sheathing Myrtenaster as she took Crescent Rose in both hands and threw it as far as she could.

"No! My baby!" Ruby panicked as she tried to sprint after her weapon, only to be yanked by the cape by Weiss, who quickly enveloped her into the cape and tied it up like a sack.

"You know what's coming," Weiss glared at Yang, whose eyes widened in panic, slowly backing away from the now deranged looking vampire.

"N-now, Weiss, you made your point, you win-"

"This is for that terrible name pun, you oaf!" Weiss shouted as she slammed sack Ruby into Yang, causing both girls to shout in pain as they flew off a few hundred feet. Weiss couldn't help but let out a happy sigh. "Let that be a lesson to not get so cocky next time!" Weiss shouted after the girls, who only groaned an apology. Smiling at how her lesson got through the two girls thick skulls, she turned away and stared off into the distance, biting her lip as she calculated how long it would take to retrieve Ruby's weapon.

"...Probably no longer than it'll take Yang to free Ruby," she muttered, looking behind at Yang, who was currently having great difficulty even dragging Ruby off of her. "Huh, might even get to it before she's free." And with that she rushed forward, hoping she didn't dirty the weapon, doubted even she could get away for besmirching Ruby's favorite weapon.

-LineBreak-

Crescent Rose did indeed get dirty, much to Ruby's dismay. The girl nearly broke down in tears, staring at Weiss as she half-heartedly forgave Weiss.

"...Let's go to a hot spring?"

"...Are you going to be naked?" Ruby asked, causing Weiss to blush.

"M-most people are-"

"Let's go!"

And that was how Weiss found herself with a naked Ruby curled up to her side, having her body cleansed of sweat and grime that came with training.

"R-Ruby, you don't need to be so...thorough," Weiss whimpered, unable to tear herself away from the much younger girl.

"Oh, don't worry about it, my love," Ruby whispered into her ear, running her fingers along Weiss' backside. "I am your fiance, it's only natural to do these kinds of things together…"

"Not in front of your sister, it isn't," Yang muttered, a look of disgust on her face as she turned away from the obscene scene. "Why did you two even invite me if you were going to be doing...this?!"

"I didn't think you'd come," Ruby glared.

"I didn't think she'd do this with you here," Weiss shrugged an apology, wrapping an arm around her fiance.

Ruby had grown so in the past three years physically, but she pretty much remained the same goofy, adorkable person she has been since... forever. Weiss would have thought that this would have turned her away from the girl yet, somehow, all it did was attract her to Ruby.

'...I still hope she gets over me,' she thought, thinking back to the kind of wedding Ruby wanted.

A vampire wedding.

Ruby wanted a vampire wedding, a way for her to spend her life with Weiss for as long as possible while showing how much they truly wanted to be together. A sudden burst of disgust erupted from Weiss' chest that she could barely contain. Centuries of disguising her face almost failed her as she barely maintained her stoic appearance.

"This is nice," Ruby whispered, leaning on Weiss as she relaxed in the pool of hot water. "We should totally come back here for our honeymoon, right, Hunny?"

"...Whatever you want," Weiss replied, squeezing Ruby against her. Ruby would get over her, she had to believe that. Ruby would find someone better than her, who could love her the way she deserved to be loved. And if she didn't…

She couldn't bear the thought of taking Ruby's heart for her own.

-LineBreak-

I really don't say it enough, but thank you for all the kind reviews! Honestly, I want to reply to all of you, but usually I have no idea what to say, and it just feels cheap to send "Thank you for the kind review" to each person, not giving any of them a unique reply. But I also feel bad for not replying…

Next chapter's taking longer than I'd like, it's only 1300 words, but I'm having a hard time describing the wedding and whatnot, but I just can't gloss over it cause something very important is supposed to happen at the end of it. As for after that, there will be two chapters and this story should be done, another flashback and an epilogue. Can't wait to see you there!
