Author's Note: Okay so this should be the last short(er) chapter. I was just tying to figure out how I wanted most of this to come together and I'm pretty sure I have most of it figured out now. Well as always I do not own RWBY. Enjoy!

"Blakeyyyy," Yang sang as she took her seat beside her. "I wanted to ask you something."

She looked at the girl beside of her and gave her a piercing glare that made blond cower in her seat. "First off, Yang I've been telling you or two and a half years not to call me that." Giving her girlfriend a faint smile she continued. "And second I already know what you're going to ask, and the answer to that question is no." Pulling her books close to her chest as she said this. "You should have done you're own homework like everyone else."

"But Kitty! How do you even know that that was what I was going to ask? For all you know I could have been asking if I could have a small hug." She said with a smug grin on her face.

"Yang, I would like to think that I know you better than that. Also, you don't even understand the concept of a 'small hug'." She air quoted the words for more emphasis. "Besides, since when have you had to ask me for a hug anyhow? Usually I'm being crushed to death before I even know what's going on."

Yang rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "Well, you definitely got me there. In my defence though Pyrrha asked me to help teach Jaune more hand to hand combat last night." A bright smile gracing her lips. "I can't help that I'm ranked number one in that department and have to help coach a few people who aren't as fortunate as I am."

The cat faunus eyed her girlfriend carefully before letting out a sigh and handing her notebook over. "I can't believe how hard it is to tell you no and stick with it."

"Ahem, if you two are finished class is about to start. And Yang, the next time you don't do your own homework you will be trapped in the library for a week." Weiss stated flipping her off center ponytail over her shoulder.

"Oh come on Princess! That's Weiss-cold." The blond exclaims turning to high-five Ruby. "Umm. Guys?" Looking around to find her sister is no where to be found. "She's still not here."

Blake eyes the empty seat behind her. As she turns around a blur of green catches her eye. "Good morning ladies and gentleman! Before we begin I have an announcement!" Dr. Oobleck practically shouted surprising well over half of the class. Even Blake's sensitive hearing has trouble figuring out how he practically appears out of thin air most time because there's never any footsteps to be heard.

Beside her she hears Yang mumble under her breath. "Nothing good ever comes from his announcements."

"Well then! I have been informed that team RWBY is to report to Headmaster Ozpin's office immediately!" The blur of green says as he starts to pull his thermos to his lips. "Now, let's begin shall we?"

The rest of the room lets out a groan in unison as the three girls stood to leave. Yang shudders as she starts to speak. "I have a really bad feeling about this you guys. What if its about Ruby? What if she's hurt? Or ran away? Or.."

"Yang. I know you're worried but it could very well be nothing. Let's just go to his office to see what he needs. Okay?" Blake stated softly while giving her girlfriends hand a soft squeeze.

"Blake's right Yang. We won't have any idea of what he wants until he tell us himself." Weiss began. "So instead of dragging your feet like an Ooaf and thinking the worst, why don't you get a hold of yourself and act like a normal being for once?"

"Okay, well you guys can pretend this has nothing to do with Ruby if you want but I know better. She would never just up and leave like this." Yang stated a little nervously. "I know my sister better than anyone."

"That you do Miss Xiao Long. Now if you would all come in we have quite a bit to talk about. Oh, and if you don't mind please leave your weapons with Professor Goodwitch." Professor Ozpin stated cautiously. To avoid the curious looks thrown his way he turned away to take a drink from his mug until it was empty. "Shall we ladies?"

Yang's heart dropped to her stomach. This wasn't right. Not by a long shot. Choking back a whimper as she handed the professor Ember Celica. She continued to follow Ozpin. Maybe this wasn't anything bad but if the feeling she had in her chest was anything to go by she knew this wasn't going to go well.

"Please, have a seat ladies." Ozpin motioned for the three to sit down. "We have quite a bit to discuss. But first.." He trailed off as he reached for the three rectangle boxes below him. As he set them on the desk he continued. "I have something for each of you if you promise to keep a level head during our meeting."

The three girls looked at the three boxes in front of them. Each wrapped in their prospective colors. Weiss was the first to speak. "I know that Blake and I can keep level headed Professor and I promise that we will try our best to keep Yang calm after you tell us what ever it is that you summoned us for."

Blake nodded her head but noticed Yang hadn't moved an inch since they have been seated. She looked wearily at her partner and gave her a slight nudge on the shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh. Right Professor." She mumbled without looking away from the box sitting in front of her.

"Well now that I have each of your words we shall continue. However if you would like you may each open the boxes set in front of you." Ozpin said with a sad smile. He know what was in each box for he picked them himself. Knowing it would be the perfect gift to them from their leader who had to leave without so much as a goodbye for her mission.

Yang's hands darted to the yellow box in front of her and held on to it like it was a lifeline before slowly peeling away the wrapping blocking her from opening the gift. Her eyes watering when she saw Ruby's insignia etched into the box. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she looked up to the man in front of her before looking back to the box to hide the crimson in her eyes. "Professor Ozpin. Why the hell is my sisters insignia on this box?" She flatly stated through gritted teeth.

"Miss Xiao Long, these are all gifts from your sister. Now before you get angry I can explain everything once you have each opened your gifts. Ruby asked me to them for you." Ozpin stated with no hint of emotion. Knowing full well that if he showed any emotion he would have three very furious girls after him. As much as he would like to think that wouldn't be a problem he knew he couldn't stand his ground in the emotional state he was currently in.

As the three girls looked at each other Blake gave her a slight nod. Letting out a sigh Yang removed the top to the box. Every tear that was battling to be released fell freely onto each of her cheeks. She brought the box to her chest and started to sob.

"Yang.." Weiss stated softly. "What's in the box?" After only hearing the whimpers of her partners sister she decided to look directly to the Headmaster. "You will tell me what kind of sick game you are playing this instant. Or so help me I'll.."

Before she could continue Ozpin cut her off. "Miss Schnee if you would so kindly open your box you would understand." He stated carefully. Having reluctantly accepted his sorry attempt of an explanation she reached for her box. Her delicate hand expertly removed the wrapping and lifted the top of the box swiftly.

Her heart dropped instantly. Inside of the box was the whitest rose she had ever laid her eyes on. She opened her mouth to begin speaking but found her mouth was incredibly dry. She couldn't speak. Weiss Schnee, the heiress to The Schnee Dust Company, was at a loss for words. Every time she tried to say something it came out of her mouth like an incoherent whisper. After several minutes she regained a slight amount of her composer. "Professor, where's Ruby?"

Blake who had been trying to comfort her partner wouldn't have been able to hear the heiress's whisper had she not been a fuanus, turned to look at the man in front of her. "Professor, why would Ruby give us each a rose of our favourite color?" She said as she looked at him with piercing eyes. "I hate to repeat someone but we deserve to know where she is."

Ozpin could't say anything for a moment because his hands were covering his face to sheild his tears. Once he thought that he could hold his bearing well enough to explain he looked to Yang. "Yang." He stated softly, as if he were afraid his voice would break the young huntress in training in front of him. "Is it alright for the rest of your team to know?"
