Chapter 4: The Rise of Bumblebee
While Ozpin and Samson were talking, the RWBY girls were having their own discussion. "Is everyone okay, we really got messed up back there?" asked a concerned Ruby. "I'm exhausted, but I'll get over it. Plus, I got my own back on Adam, so I'm basically fine" replied Yang. Then Weiss said "I'm still shaken but it's my pride that was hurt. The audacity of the blonde one to attack me, steal my weapon and then flirt with me." Yang and Ruby laughed at Weiss' comments, but they went quiet when Blake spoke. She said "Guys, we could have died today. How can you be laughing about it, they may have saved us from Adam but I don't think we should trust them so easily. They seem nice now, but clearly, they're capable of a lot, so let's not get too friendly with them. Not yet at least." the other girls all nodded knowing that Blake was right, these people were dangerous.
"I love all of you so much, I was so scared that I was going to lose you. I'm so happy that you're all okay, but I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I wasn't good enough this time, but I Ruby Rose, swear that I will never let anything like that happen ever again." said a serious sounding Ruby. "Thank you, Ruby, but don't doubt yourself so much. Not even Ozpin could beat them, you aren't weak. They were just too good and we weren't prepared for them" responded Weiss.
Trying to comfort her sister, Yang said "Yeah Rubes, they were way better than we expected them to be and we weren't prepared to fight people with semblances like that. I mean, that Clayton guy should be dead after what I did to him, but he isn't. I've never seen anything like it, and as for the invisible one and the teleporting one. We couldn't have seen that coming, and we have never trained to fight enemies like that. So, don't worry about it, next time we'll be ready".
"I can't believe they killed Adam" said Blake, Yang put her arm over Blake's shoulders and said "Neither can I, but I'm glad He's dead. He can't hurt you anymore." Blake put her head on Yang's shoulder and said "I'm glad too Yang, he can't hurt you anymore either."
Weiss now feeling slightly better scoffed and said "Come on you two, everyone can see you're perfect for each other. Stop messing around and just do something about it. You must have noticed by now that life is far too short and can end far too easily, to not be with your loved one's. So, just kiss already, you're just wasting your time not doing it."
The two girls' jaws dropped, Ruby gasped and Weiss' faces went red when it dawned on her what she just said. Ruby burst out laughing at their reactions, she agreed with Weiss but of course she would never say that.
Blake's cheeks were bright red and Yang was uncharacteristically quiet. They looked at each other, then to Weiss, and then back to each other. Yang let out a big sigh and said "Well, I guess there's no point denying it. I really like you Blake, no. I'm completely head over heels for you. I love everything about you, you are the coolest, most passionate, most interesting person I have ever met. And on top of that, you are the single most beautiful girl I've ever seen".
Yang stopped, thinking of something else to say. But before she could get any more words out. Blake tackled her to the ground, wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed her on the lips. For a moment Yang tensed up, from the shock. But then she wrapped her arms around Blake's waist and parted her lips slightly, allowing the Cat Faunus' tongue to slip into her mouth.
To Blake, in that moment. The only thing that existed was Yang. She had felt like Yang cared about her for a long time now, but she never believed that Yang felt this way about her. She had wanted to be with Yang for so long, but she had assumed that the feelings weren't mutual. But now, the girl who had accepted the fact that she was a faunus, the girl who had accepted her past, the girl who lost an arm trying to protect her. That girl loved her, and the thought threw her normally composed mind into a whirlwind. She had kissed Yang, and Yang had kissed back. They were wrapped in each others' arms, and sharing an unimaginably passionate kiss in front of everyone. They only stopped when the need to breath became overwhelming.
When Blake opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Yang with a huge smile on her face. Then she saw everyone else, Ruby and Weiss had their jaws dropped and their eyes wide. Qrow was looking away not wanting to see what his niece was doing, Oscar was also looking away, and the other four were just watching unsure of how to react. But Blake didn't care, she was the happiest she had ever been. She stood up and pulled Yang to her feet, and it was Yang who broke the silence. She shrugged and said "What, Weiss said everyone knew we liked each other. It can't be that surprising, I mean look at Blake she's perfect. Who wouldn't want to do what I just did?" turning back to Blake she asked "So Kitty Cat, are we officially a thing?" without hesitation Blake replied "Do you really have to ask, of course we are. I'm done running from the people I care about, especially from you. Yang Xiao Long, I love you." An ecstatic Yang wrapped her arms around Blake and whispered in her ear "I love you too Blake".
Ruby let out a high-pitched squeal "I'm so happy for you, this is so cool!" she shouted. "Thanks Ruby" replied Blake, and Yang said "Yeah, thank sis". Weiss had now recovered from the shock of what just happened "I'm also happy for you, you finally did it". Blake nodded in acknowledgement as Yang said "Thanks Ice Queen, your little outburst really helped us out." Qrow walked over to the new couple "Good to see you're happy and everything Yang, but your uncle doesn't need to see his niece like that." Yang rubbed the back of her head and said "Sorry about that Uncle Qrow, I kinda forgot you were here."
"If you're quite finished Miss Xiao Long and Miss Belladonna, it's time to go" Said Ozpin, as he and their four new acquaintances started walking into the tree line. "How am I going to get Bumblebee through the forest?" asked Yang. Samson walked over to Yang's bike and picked it up, before heading back into the forest. "I guess that answers that question" said a playful Blake, the memories of the recent traumatic events having quickly faded. Yang laughed "It certainly does Blakey, now let's go before we lose them." The exhausted but happy RWBY girls then followed the rest of the group, with a still mildly concussed Qrow bringing up the rear.
