Alrighty! I know the whole lacrosse part of this hasn't really been playing a big part yet. There is one thing that I need to take care of before lacrosse becomes a big deal. So one or two more chapters until the first game. I PROMISE that after these next couple of chapters, the story will finally kick off... And happy (day after) Easter!

Without further adieu, I present to you:

Chapter 4


Yang flew back to the Beacon landing pad and walked to the field. Her team should have lacrosse practice now, and she needed some help with her, "situation". As she rounded the final corner of the campus, she entered the giant stadium, and went into the locker room where she didn't even bother changing. Yang sauntered onto the field where her team was working of some defensive drills.

On the Beacon lacrosse team, only a few players were huntresses. Most of them studied Grimm, weapon design, and various other subjects at Beacon. The few who were, in fact, huntresses weren't all that great at it. They were considerably out of shape, in Yang's book, and wielded slightly more cumbersome weapons.

"Hey Yang!" Before she had time to react, more than half of her team had surrounded her and were aimlessly greeting, and hugging her.

"Hey guys!" She responded much more cheerfully than she had anticipated: it made even herself cringe. "Did you guys win the game?"

"Well, what do you think!" Jessica, a short defensive player with shoulder length, curly, brown hair asked her. "Of course we did! The undefeated Warriors aren't going to lose to Vacuo!"

Jessica was by far Yang's favorite. She had a habit of telling inappropriate jokes, and making people as uncomfortable as possible: therefore she and Yang got each other pretty well. In fact, Yang would even be willing to go as far in saying Jessica was her best friend outside of team RWBY, and she, too, was a huntress. Jess was a fairly decent fighter, but Yang could still take her easily.

"Pft," Yang scoffed. "no need to get feisty!"

"I'm not getting... whoa."

Yang realized that Jess was staring straight straight at her wound. She had bleed through the bandages, without realizing, and blood was dripping onto the field. She grabbed Jessica's arm and quickly pulled her out of the group.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa-"

"Shh! Shh!" Yang whispered. "Don't freak out!" She attempted to calm her panicking friend.

"Yang, you need medical attention, or something!"

"I know, I know. Keep your voice down okay?" She glanced over her shoulder to make sure nobody was watching.

Jessica slowly nodded her head, eyes still trained on the crimson liquid dripping onto the grass. Yang stared straight into her eyes, and firmly placed her hands on the girl's shoulders .

"Listen, I need you to do something for me." She said in a calm, but commanding tone. "Go find the medical kit. I don't know where it is, and would seriously appreciate it if you could help me out here."

"Yeah... one med kit comin' right up." She struggled, still in shock from the sheer amount of blood her friend had lost.

Jessica backed away and started off in a jog to wherever the medical supplies were. That left Yang alone with her lacrosse team... while hiding her arm... crap. Maybe I didn't think this one through. Should I follow her or-

"We missed you so much, Yang!"

Welp. This is going to end terribly.

"Heh," She nervously chuckled. "Good to see you guys, too."

Yang quickly hid her arm behind her back before plastering a warm smile on her face.


Blake was pacing back and forward in the team RWBY dorm while Weiss and Ruby were both sitting on the Ice Queen's bed. Weiss sat with Ruby hugging her from behind, her arms draped around the colder girl's shoulders.

"Where is she?" Blake nearly shouted in frustration.

"I'm sure she'll be back soon, Blake." Ruby offered. "Its not like Yang to be late for dinner. She's probably just running late."

"But why would she be this late? What would have gotten her caught up for this long? She was supposed to be here two hours ago!"

"Blake," Weiss said calmly. "calm down. There is no use in worrying about her. Theres nothing we can do. Why don't you lay down, and read that new book you got?"

Blake had considered this before, but with her partner gone, she wouldn't be able to concentrate. The only other thing she could think to do to keep her mind off of the whole ordeal was to sleep, but again, that wasn't happening.

"No." She said dryly.

"Come oooooon, Blake. Just chill out a little." Ruby sighed.

"How?! Yang is gone, and you guys aren't even worried! She went to fight Grimm, and is two hours late! How does that no freak you out?!"

"Because I have confidence in her." Ruby's voice dropped to a whisper as she got up and placed a hand on Blake's shoulder.


After wrapping her arm in bandages, Yang began her trek to the dorm. She wondered if her bandages were discrete enough. Hopefully, the observant Blake and her teammates wouldn't notice gauss going all the way up to her elbow... no it still sounded bad. There was no way they wouldn't notice. Maybe I could tell them its just athletic tape. She thought.

Yang approached the dorm room... three hours late now... and reached for the door knob. Before she could open it, however, the door swung open revealing a very pissed off Blake.

"YANG XIAO LONG! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"

Yang immediately cowered back against the wall on the other side of the hallway.

"THREE HOURS LATE! I HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU FOR THE PAST THREE HOURS! WHY ARE YOU SO LATE? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

"Heh.. good to see you too, Kitty cat..." Yang smiled sheepishly as she awkwardly shuffled from foot to foot.

"ANSWER THE QUESTION!"

"God okay! I got caught up at the field and-"

"AT THE FIELD?! YANG, WHY DIDNT YOU CALL TO TELL US YOU WERE OKAY FIRST?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HURT OR- what the hell is this?"

Blake looked at Yang's injured arm. Her eyes grew wide when she realized what it was.

"Would you believe me if I told you it was athletic tape?" Yang asked hopefully.

"Yang... what happened?" Blake asked as she scooted towards her partner. She gently picked up the blonde's arm and examined it.

"I uh... I sorta... tried to save some people from being crushed by a wall...?" She tried.

Blake just looked up at her with an unamused glare.

"Ugh, fine! I got caught off guard by a beowolf! Buts its fine! I have a healing factor! It will be gone in the next few days!"

Blake just stared at her. Her expression was unreadable, and Yang didn't know what to do. It was in this time she realized how close they were, and Blake still hadn't let go of her arm. She fiercely fought off a massive blush when their eyes met... those beautiful, amber eyes-

"Get a shower, and go to bed." Blake commanded.

"Um... okay."

As Yang entered the room, she saw Ruby and Weiss staring at her with shocked expressions. None of them had ever seen Blake show that much emotion. They were all a bit shocked with Blake's reaction.

After a quick shower, she put on her pj's and sauntered up to her bed. Blake was still unreadable: she just sat on her bed, with her arms crossed, and waited for the brawler to climb up. The room grew very tense as the RWB of the team stared at her: Yang was more than a little uncomfortable.

As she slid underneath the blankets and closed her eyes, the lights turned off, and all was silent.
