Chapter 4

Waking up Ruby tried to get up in a sitting position but once she realised she couldn't move, she looked down and saw the ropes keeping her on the bed, a voice came from her left as she heard someone say, "Good morning" and looked over to see Blake staring at her, it wasn't a glare but it wasn't a friendly look either, then the memories of last night came back to her,

Ruby's smile faded as she replied, "Morning Blake, where's Yang and Weiss?"

Blake answered plainly, "They went to grab me some food"

Just at that moment Weiss and Yang entered the room, Weiss looked towards Ruby and gave a weak smile, "Good morning Ruby"

Ruby smiled "Good morning Weiss, morning Yang" stopping for a moment Ruby frowned and said, "Yang I am sorry about last night"

Yang smiled and waved it off without a second thought "It's alright Rubes, I know you meant nothing by it, it just… surprised me, yeah that's the word I was looking for"

Ruby's frown grew as she looked at the blonde brawler "Doesn't mean it was ok though"

Blake spoke up gaining their young leaders attention "So Ruby what do we do now? I mean Jaune did talk about bringing you to someone who can help right?"

Ruby nodded as she answered, "Yeah she can help, but I don't think it's a good idea for you guys to come since your all Human and Faunus"

Yang looked over to Ruby worriedly as she asked, "Why isn't it a good idea for us to come along?"

Ruby frowned "She's a Ghoul but not one of those bad ones, but when she realised I knew she was a Ghoul at first she got real angry at Jaune and I don't want you guys being put through that without her saying it's ok"

Blake nodded with a relieved smile "I can understand that, plus I don't think I am comfortable being near Ghouls just yet, you Jaune and Nora are exceptions but there's are reason for that"

Ruby looked at the ropes then asked, "So um am I able to be untied now?"

Yang Blake and Weiss looked to each other than her, Weiss smiled as she answered, "I guess"

Once Weiss untied Ruby she got a hug, "Thank you Weiss" once Ruby broke the embrace with the Heiress she got up and walked over to her eyepatch which was still on the ground from the night before, "Yang Blake, could I be alone with Weiss for a minute?"

The two looked at each other than Weiss, Weiss asked in a nervous and not so comfortable tone "W-why?"

Ruby's frown came back as she answered, "We need to talk about us"

Weiss nodded then Blake and Yang left the room, "So what do you want to know?"

Ruby's frown began to grow as she said, "Well I wanted to know what this meant for us? I mean me being th-this isn't… I just- I don't know anymore, I don't want to lose you but if you don't want to be with me I'd understand"

Weiss was frowning once Ruby finished saying what she wanted "Ruby I-I still want to be with you but I don't know what we can do, I mean I want us to continue being like we were before but, after last night I don't think I am comfortable being like that again, at least for now I am not"

Ruby began smiling as she asked, "So does that mean we're still a thing?"

Nodding Weiss said with a small smile of her own "Yes it does, but I think we just need to take a few steps back, is that alright?"

Ruby nodded energetically as she said, "I'm happy with that, as long as I don't lose you I am happy with anything"

Ruby gave Weiss a small hug and backed away slightly afterwards, Weiss said happily, "I guess we can let the others back in?" Ruby nodded and opened the door to see her two teammates talking with Ren,

"Hey guys you can come back in now" Blake and Yang nodded, "Hey Ren, how is your arm?"

Ren smiled genuinely as he answered back "Nora's done worse so it's fine, but thank you"

just as Ruby went to go back into her room Jaune came out of his dorm and quickly spoke up "Hey Ruby do you wanna go see Touka soon?"

Ruby nodded as she said, "I guess so, what do you think she will say though?"

Jaune shrugged dismissively as he said, "If I know her and I am pretty sure I do, she won't be mad at you, especially if she finds out you almost ate your sister"

Ruby nodded sadly from the reminder and said, "Well I'll get ready then we can leave" Jaune nodded and walked back into his dorm,

A few minutes later and Ruby was ready to leave she met up with Jaune and they went to leave but stopped, "Wait Ruby" turning around Ruby saw Pyrrah and gave a smile

"Oh, hey Pyrrah what's up?"

Pyrrah seemed to notice that Ruby was looking a bit down even if she was smiling and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Jaune quickly stepped in seeming to know what was happening, what the red cloaked Huntress missed "Her and Weiss just had a fight, me Ren and Nora are heading to Re, we decided we should take her with, if you wanna see Weiss just tell her I told you what happened" nodding and saying her good wishes to Ruby Pyrrah walked back the way she had come from,

Ruby looked to Jaune curiously as she asked, "why didn't you tell her?"

Jaune frowned knowing that she wouldn't be happy with the answer but gave it anyways "She doesn't know, oh uh you may wanna text Weiss Yang and Blake about that" Ruby nodded and did just that.

Arriving at Re the small group of four found Touka serving some customers, Jaune called out "Hey Touka we need to talk very quickly" Touka looked over and had a look of relief flash across her face,

"Yeah sure, also I am glad you brought her with you, I need to tell Ruby something"

They all went into the back and Touka gave Ruby the parcel from the other day "What!? How did you know?" Ruby asked in a slight panic

Touka raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Know what? I was just about to say, as you were leaving yesterday someone picked your pocket and tried to run off with it"

Ruby's expression turned from worried to annoyed much to Jaune's surprise so he said, "Thank you Touka"

she gave the type of smile she used whenever she served a customer then looked to Ruby asking, "What's up with her anyways?"

Jaune frowned as he looked back to Ruby then answered the question "Because someone took that she tried to eat her sister"

Touka's eyes went wide as she looked at Ruby who was still clenching her fists "I-I didn't mean to but I was so hungry when it happened"

Touka rested her hand on Ruby's shoulder "It's ok does anyone else know?"

Ruby nodded as she looked up too meet Touka's gaze "My whole team knows"

Touka then asked with a concerned tone "Did they try to turn you in?"

Ruby shook her head as she said, "No, they haven't but they are a bit scared"

Touka looked to Jaune and asked, "Has she eaten anything after the incident?"

Ren nodded as he stepped in "I let her take a bite from my arm but that was it" he rolled up his sleeve and showed it to Touka,

"Alright thank you, if you need cleaner bandages you know where they are, Valkyrie, Arc I'm putting you two in the kitchen and I'll be serving customers, Ren are you able to work today?" he nodded with a smile "Ok you will be helping me with the customers, Ruby I would like you to go to Hinami and introduce yourself, let her know I want her teaching you, that is if you want to learn" Ruby nodded and went off looking for the young Ghoul that she assumed was Hinami.

It didn't take her long since the first door she tried had Hinami's name on it, "Hello can I help you?"

Ruby's gaze met the ground as she nervously, "H-hi I am Ruby, Touka told me you could teach me about uh being a Ghoul?" Hinami smiled and moved to the side letting her in,

"I would be happy to teach you so what is it you need help with?"

Ruby looked to her removing the eyepatch "I don't know, anything and everything I guess"

Hinami smiled and stated, "You're a lot like him"

Ruby looked to her curiously as she asked, "Like who?"

Hinami's smile faded slightly as she answered, "Kaneki, you have a very similar scent to him and even wear an eyepatch over the eye that could change, you remind me a lot of him"

Ruby's smile faded slightly as she asked, "Is that bad?"

Hinami shook her head as she said, "No it's just, he was there for me when I needed help, but then he was taken, we went to save him but by the time we found him he didn't want to be saved, that's when he became known as the Eye-Patch, he did somethings I can't say I am happy about, but he did what he needed to"

Ruby rested her hand on Hinami's shoulder "Hey it's ok you don't need to talk about it if you don't want to"

Smiling Hinami said, "It's alright, but thank you it's just hard to not think of him is all, even Touka was talking about him after you left" Ruby frowned after hearing that and Hinami seemed to notice so she decided to change the subject "Anyways we should start with what you need to know"

Ruby's smile returned as she nodded, "Alright, so what is there to know about being a Ghoul?"

Hinami's smile grew as she answered, "Well the first thing you would know is that we cannot eat human food, but what you most likely didn't know is we can also have coffee"

Ruby seeming confused questioned "Why coffee?"

"I don't know it's just one of those weird things in life, but as I was saying you will need to look out for the Doves, then we have other Ghouls some will be suspicious of you so try not to get too involved with them"

Ruby nodded with a smile, "Ok so what are Doves?"

Hinami sighed "CCG agents, it's what we call them, but anyways you can eat Grimm but it tastes terrible, um oh yeah you will need to learn how to eat food"

Ruby's eyes went wide as she asked, "Isn't that something I should avoid?"

Hinami nodded answering the question "Yes but sometimes you will need to if you are to hide"

Nodding once again Ruby asked, "Ok so how do I do that?"

Hinami smirked "I will be right back just wait here" she ran out the door and down the stairs.

returning with two sandwiches on a plate Hinami said, "Ok now Ruby I want you to try eating this"

Ruby frowned and asked, "Won't it just come back up?"

Hinami shook her head with a mischievous grin "Not if you do it right, give it a go"

Ruby grabbed the sandwich and took a bite, the taste was terrible but Ruby powered through chewing and swallowing it, but after a second she ran straight to the bathroom and vomited it back,

Ruby could hear Hinami's laughter from the other room before she heard the question "Ruby are you ok?"

Walking back into the room with a bitter smile Ruby said, "I guess, wait how are you!?" Ruby asked as she saw Hinami take a bite and eat it without a problem,

"It's simple just swallow it whole and pretend to chew on it to make the act more believable, just be sure to throw it back up later or you could get really sick" Ruby nodded and Hinami held out the other sandwich "Give it one more try"

Ruby nodded and took a bite from it, she managed to swallow it and not throw up but it didn't look too convincing, "Was that good?"

Hinami nodded as she said, "For a first try, but you need to get better at the timing when chewing, keep practising and you should be good"

Ruby's smile grew "Thanks Hinami"

"It wasn't a problem" Touka walked into the room and saw the sandwich on a plate with a few bites taken from it,

"I hope you plan on getting rid of that" Ruby quickly looked over to Touka then nodded, "Hinami I was wondering if you were planning on teaching her the basics for the rest of the day? You can take the time off your shifts for it, in a matter of fact Jaune said he would do them if you were to teach her"

Hinami smiled as she pondered the offer before replying "I was wondering what was going to happen with that, thanks anything I should stay away from?"

Touka nodded as she answered in a somewhat serious and deffensive tone "Just Kaneki, I understand you may need to explain somethings but don't go too far into it" Hinami nodded

"Alright thanks Touka, also should we get Ruby her mask?"

Ruby looked at them curiously as she asked, "My mask?"

Nodding Touka explained "You wouldn't want the Doves seeing your face when you're doing anything Ghoul related sadly Uta is still in Atlas so he can't make the mask but his sister is here, she learned how to make them before coming here, just be warned she is a bit strange nothing too bad though"

nodding Ruby asked, "Hey um Touka my team know I'm going to Ghouls for help with this stuff and they know about Jaune and Nora, would they be ok coming here?"

Touka looked at Ruby cautiously as she answered, "If you think you can trust them then yes, but if they tell anyone about this place I will kill them and the people they talked to, do you understand?"

Nodding Ruby said, "I'll let them know"

"Good now since Hinami is teaching you to fit in I guess I will have to teach you to fight, I know you're a Huntress in-training but Jaune told me how your weapon broke and you can't fight without it, if you are going to survive then you will need to learn how to use your fists just be warned I will not be going easy on you, got it?"

Ruby's smile went dimmed as she said, "Um ye-yeah ok, so uh when would we start?"

Touka smiled as she began thinking "Well I was thinking later today but then again you've been through enough for now, so does tomorrow work for you?"

Ruby nodded as she said, "Sure but when will I get my mask?"

Touka looked to the excited Half-Ghoul in front of her as she asked in surprise "Your excited about getting a mask?"

Ruby nodded as she explained "I just want to know what it'll be like; will it look cool or scary or something like that?"

Touka and Hinami were laughing as Touka said, "Jaune was right you are childish"

Ruby puffed out her cheeks with a pout and turned away from them with her arms crossed as she said, "I am not childish"

After Touka and Hinami eventually stopped laughing Touka said, "Alright, I guess you two can get back to your lesson also Ruby I always need more staff, if you're up for it you could work here for a time, but of course you do go to Beacon so I will have to be lenient to your classes and missions but we could work all that out"

Ruby was smiling again as she said, "I will have to think on it but thank you"

Touka nodded as she said in reply "Any time" and left the room,

Hinami then said "I haven't seen her like that in a while, she really does like you"

Ruby smiled as she asked, "Is that a good thing?"

Hinami's smile grew "Of course it is, I think it's because you're a lot like him" Ruby frowned upon hearing that, and Hinami seemed to notice this so she tried to direct the situation away from that "Ok so now I need to try and help you with that eye of yours."

Ruby Jaune Ren and Nora were all headed back to Beacon when Nora asked, "So how did it go Ruby?"

Ruby turned to Nora as she answered, "It was fun, Hinami is an awesome person and Touka said I could bring Weiss Yang and Blake if they wanted to check the place out"

Jaune smiled "Well that's good"

"Yeah, I guess" she looked over to Ren and asked, "How is your arm?"

He smiled "Ruby it's fine thank you for worrying but as I have said before Nora has done worse"

Ruby looked to Nora and back "How?"

Ren frowned as he remembered the events "There was the first time she fought against the Doves, then her first time killing a Grimm"

Ruby asked slightly surprised, "What happened?"

Nora spoke up "I got too badly hurt and needed to feed so I could heal."

They got off the airship and headed towards the dorms "Ok well thank you guys again, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there for me"

Jaune gave a reassuring smile as he said, "It's alright you know we're here for you no matter what"

"Well thanks again"

He smirked "Anytime."

Ruby entered her dorm and almost instantly everyone tensed up, Weiss nervously said,,"U-uh hey Ruby welcome back"

Frowning Ruby asked, "Hey guys, are you still that nervous around me?"

Yang frowned as well as she said, "Sorry Rubes it's just after last night it's gonna be a bit hard to relax around you for now"

Ruby let out a long drawn out sigh as she said, "It's ok I understand, I am sorry Yang"

Yang's expression turned to annoyed as she said, "Stop saying that"

Ruby looked back to her sister in confusion as she asked, "Wait, stop saying what?"

Yang answered her sister with a serious tone "Stop saying you're sorry, I know you didn't mean to do it, if I have forgiven you then you are allowed to drop it, ok?"

Ruby glared at Yang as she exclaimed "I almost ate you! Do you know how that makes me feel!" Yang jumped back in shock and once Ruby saw what she did she lowered her voice but kept it stern "I don't want that happening again, I don't even want to eat another person but one day I am scared I may have to, last night I was lucky Ren even let me do what I did, I am not just saying sorry because I still feel bad about it, even though I still do but I am saying it because I didn't mean to, I have been told that this only happens to a Ghoul when they don't eat for a long time, but I still don't want to go through that again"

Blake looked at Ruby with a small hint of sympathy as she said, "Ruby I understand this is hell for you, but you need to calm down"

Ruby looked back at Blake and nodded "I know but you need to understand that I am scared of what I might do, I need you to know that right now I am trying for you guys I don't want to hurt you"

Yang trapped Ruby in a hug and Ruby was about to hug back until she smelt Yang her mind telling her to take a bite, Ruby pushed Yang back and fell on her back moving away from Yang, her breathing was heavy Yang looked at Ruby worriedly "Ruby what was that for?" she sounded sadder than anything else,

Ruby looked back up and said "I-I am sorry, th-the smell it just- it scared me-" Yang interrupted her,

"Ruby stop, you don't need to say it I understand, is there anything I can do for you?"

Ruby looked up at her then her stomach grumbled "N-no it's fine, I just need to eat, the ghoul I went to gave me the package I lost the other day"

Yang asked worriedly, "What package?"

Ruby pulled it out of her pocket and held it in clear view as she said, "As I was leaving yesterday someone picked my pocket and tried running off with it, I was gonna eat what was inside it, but I didn't have it"

Yang looked to Weiss and Blake then back to her sister and asked, "Ruby do you know what's in that?"

Ruby nodded as she said, "I do, and as much as I don't want to it's better than actually killing someone"

Weiss frowned knowing exactly what Ruby meant and asked, "Ruby I understand you need to do this but isn't there something else you can eat?"

Ruby's head hung low as she nodded "I always could eat the Grimm?"

This time Yang raised her voice "Oh hell no! As much as I don't want you eating people I will not let you eat that!"

Ruby smiled lightly as she looked at her sister "Yang it's fine if me eating people makes you guys uncomfortable then I am happy to do that"

Blake frowned as she said, "Ruby it's your choice do what you need to"

Weiss nodded "Blake's right, it's your choice and no matter what you pick I will do my best to be there to support you, I can learn to deal with it"

Ruby frowned "No Weiss, you shouldn't have to learn to live around something like this I will be fine with-"

Weiss interrupted her "Ruby if you have to learn to do these things, then I will learn to accept it" Yang nodded in agreement to the Heiress

Ruby directed her attention to Blake, "Ruby I guess I am ok with it, as long as you're not killing innocent people to eat I guess I can live with it",

Ruby smiled "Are you guys sure, I just don't want to do something like this in front of you if you don't feel comfortable" they all nodded,

Ruby walked over to where she put the parcel and opened it, inside was a thin plastic bag with meat that looked like shredded pork, Ruby opened the bag and pulled one piece out and hesitantly began to eat it,

Weiss and Blake turned green as they watched, Yang didn't seem to care all that much and ignored what was happening.

Once Ruby had finished half of what was in the small bag she closed it up and put it somewhere safe, "Hey Weiss Blake you two don't look so well?"

Weiss tried acting like it was nothing whilst Blake just answered, "Just a bit"

"No, no I am fine, don't worry about it" Ruby frowned and took a step closer, but Weiss subconsciously took one back and Ruby stopped,

"Weiss, you could have said you were uncomfortable with it, I would have understood you know that"

Weiss frowned noticing what she did and said, "I am sorry it's just, I am gonna need some time after a while I will be fine with it" she took a step towards Ruby who then dashed to her and trapped her in a hug,

"Thank you, Weiss."

A few hours later and everyone had calmed down Yang decided to try and break the silence, "So Ruby what did you learn over there?"

Ruby looked towards her sister "Sorry what did you say?"

Yang said, "I asked what did you learn today?"

Ruby asked in confusion "What do you mean? How did you know?"

Blake sighed as she lowered her book and answered, "Ruby you told us that someone told you that what happened in this case you trying to eat Yang only happens when a Ghoul hasn't eaten in a long time, so I would guess Yang thought they were teaching you"

Ruby nodded with a smile "Well yeah, oh that's right I can fake eating food now, I still need practice but it won't come back out now"

Weiss nodded with a smile as she said, "Well that's good, so how do you do that?"

Ruby answered with a large grin "Just take a bite swallow whatever you're eating whole then pretend to chew, they do it so well I actually thought they were eating food"

Yang chuckled at the sight of her sisters' old nature starting to return "Alright calm down Rubes"

Ruby's smile grew as she remembered "Also I can still have one thing Humans can"

Weiss Blake and Yang all turned to her yelling "What!"

"Yup"

Yang then asked excitedly, "Well what is it?"

Ruby answered cheerfully "Coffee!"

Blake's smile slightly faded as she asked, "Wait so the only thing you can enjoy now is something that makes you even more hyper?"

Ruby's smile grew as she nodded,

Yang laughed at Blake's disappointment to the statements meaning and said, "Cheer up I'm sure she'll be just fine"

Blake frowned as she said back "Wait until she's had some before you start saying that"

Ruby looked over to Blake "Don't worry I won't have it all the time" Blake then murmured something along the lines of 'You better not' and 'reading in peace.'

Later that week Ruby Weiss and Yang were sitting in the dorm and Ruby finally had a break from both classes at Beacon and with Hinami,

Yang looked over to Ruby who was reading something off her scroll then Weiss who was studying for the upcoming exam, Yang asked, "Hey Rubes you said that Ghoul who's helping you would be fine with us checking the place out right?"

Ruby nodded as she said, "But don't tell anyone about it"

Yang asked curiously "Why? I mean it's not like I will but what would they do?"

Ruby frowned as she answered, "She said she would kill the one who told others about it and the ones they told"

Yang's head snapped towards Ruby her eyes wide "Wait what!?"

Ruby glared at her sister trying to make sure Yang understood how serious she was "Are you going to tell anyone?"

Yang shook her head "N-no I said I wouldn't"

Ruby sighed "Did you tell anyone?"

Yang answered confidently "No"

Ruby's smile returned as she said, "Good, so why did you ask about the offer?"

Yang answered truthfully "I thought I should thank the person willing to help my sister and thought it would be a good team activity for us to do"

Ruby's smile grew as she heard the last part "Yeah that sounds awesome, I will find Blake and meet you back here" before Yang could say anything Ruby dashed off using her semblance.

Blake sat out of sight reading her book in the corner of the library but then she heard something "hiya Blake!"

Dropping her book Blake spun around to see Ruby standing there with her book now in her hands "Ruby is that my book?"

Ruby looked back up to Blake with confusion as she asked, "Ninja's of love?"

Blake frowned as she looked at the younger girl "Please don't tell Yang"

Ruby began snickering as she asked, "Do you really think I'm that evil?"

Blake sighed as she said, "Not really but still I can't be quite sure"

Ruby's smile turned to a frown as she asked, "Are you ever gonna stop with that, it was one time and Yang forgave me"

Blake sighed before looking towards the ground "I don't know Ruby, I mean you're, you know a Ghoul now, something I was brought up to hate, I know you weren't born one but I'm finding it hard to believe I can trust you especially after that night if you had told us before then I may have been more trusting, I mean how can trust someone who almost ate their own sister?"

Ruby copied Blake's action and looked towards the ground as she said, "I know but you know me, I wouldn't do that again, and Blake I hate to point this out but remember that's why people are still racist towards the Faunus, Ghoul's didn't choose to be born the way they were, they just are"

Blake sighed and looked at Ruby with a glare "You are right but don't use that against me, you know nothing I went through as a Faunus, you weren't even born a Ghoul so how could you know what it's like?"

Ruby looked Blake in the eye with a a glare of her own "I may have not been born a Ghoul or a Faunus but I grew up with a lot of Faunus when they were kids most of the insults were aimed at them and when I saw what was being said to them I stood up for them, I may have not been a Faunus or a Ghoul but I was treated just as badly" Ruby's glare was starting to make Blake feel somewhat nervous,

She frowned and said, "Ruby as I said before it will take me a while to get used to the idea but I will eventually, so why are you here?"

Ruby's glare disappeared completely as she answered, "Well Yang thought we could go to the place I am going to for help so we can spend time together as a team"

Blake asked slightly anxious "And why would we go there to hang out?"

Ruby answered cheerfully, "Well it's also a coffee shop"

Blake looked back to Ruby's hand and asked, "If I go you won't tell Yang about the book, right?"

Ruby looked to the book in her hands like she had forgotten it was there and smirked "Yup"

"Fine, but remember if I get eaten I'm blaming you."

They approached Re and Yang was in awe of the place, on the outside it looked like a classy café that even Weiss would have gone to "Wow so that's where you've been going?"

Ruby answered cheerfully "Yup!"

Opening the door and letting her teammates in first Ruby's smile grew, Touka saw them come in and Ruby not long after, "Hey Ruby I thought Hinami gave you the day off?"

Ruby nodded as she said, "Yup she did, I just thought I would show my teammates where I have been going to for help"

Touka took a glance at them then back "Alright then, by the way Hinami is upstairs if you wanted to talk to her" Ruby nodded and went through the back,

Yang walked over to Touka and said, "Hi I am Yang, I just wanted to say thanks for helping Ruby out"

Touka gave a small smile back and said, "It's no problem, I am Touka, so you're her teammates?"

Yang nodded happily as she said, "Yeah so what are you guys teaching her?"

Touka answered plainly, "Just to blend in and defend herself"

Yang's eyebrow rose as she heard the last part and asked "Why teach her to defend herself? She is pretty good in a fight"

Touka answered bluntly "Against Human's and Faunus yes, but against Ghoul's no, we've had a few matches before so I know she could improve"

Yang asked in a tone that sounded somewhere between concerned and pissed off, "Did you hurt her?"

Touka asked slightly confused by the sudden shift in the atmosphere "What?"

Yang asked again "Did you hurt her?"

Touka answered slightly annoyed by Yang's question "No, the worst she got was a bruise but for a Ghoul that takes no time to heal"

Yang calmed down after hearing that and smiled "Well then that's good"

Touka looked at Yang sceptically "Why would you even care if I hurt her?"

Yang answered with a menacing smirk and a crack of her knuckles, "No one hurts my baby sister and gets away with it"

Touka took another look at Yang and asked "Really, I can barely see the resemblance?"

Laughing Yang nodded "That's everyone's reaction the first time"

Touka looked at the other two and asked Yang "Do they still treat her nicely?"

Yang nodded with a smile as Weiss walked over "Why wouldn't I?"

Touka took another look at Weiss and smirked "First she isn't Human anymore second you're a Schnee and third I heard the Schnee's don't go well with Ghoul's or Faunus"

Weiss' gaze met the floor as she asked dejectedly, "I am not my father so why does everyone think that?"

Yang rested her arm around Weiss shoulder as she said, "Don't worry ice queen I believe you" Weiss turned her head towards Yang with a glare and Yang said "How about we just calm down a bit... yeah?"

Weiss said in an annoyed tone "Don't. Call. Me. Ice queen"

Touka was watching this trying to hold in her laughter, Blake walked over and asked "Um what's in the salad special?"

After Touka finished Blake's order Yang asked "Hey would I be able to go see Ruby?"

Touka looked over to her and nodded "Up the stairs and second last door on the right"

Yang nodded "Thanks."

Yang went up the stairs and was standing outside the door, she knocked and Ruby answered the door with someone next to her "Oh hey Yang!"

Yang looked at the person next to Ruby and asked "Hey Rubes who's your friend?"

Ruby looked to her and said "Oh this is Hinami, she's the one teaching me"

Yang held her hand out "hey I'm Yang it's nice to meet you" Hinami took her hand and shook it,

"Well it's nice to meet you too Yang"

Yang then asked "So um what're you and Rubes talking about?"

Hinami smiled "Oh well we're just talking about a few things in her lessons"

Ruby then said "Hinami she knows it's ok"

Hinami nodded "Right, would you like to come in?"

Yang nodded with a smile "If you're ok with it"

Hinami then said, "Sorry I am just not used to… well Humans being up here"

Yang let out a small chuckle before saying "Your fine, so what have you taught her so far?"

"Well there's eating food, ways to stop thinking about eating and how to avoid the Doves"

Yang asked slightly confused "The what?"

Hinami giggled "CCG agents it's what we call them"

Yang smiled "Oh I see, so has she been behaved?"

Hinami smiled with a nod "Yaaannng I don't need you babying me all the time I am Huntress in-training now, I can take care of myself"

"Well come on I still have to look out for you" Yang laughed as she ruffled her younger siblings' hair

Ruby groaned in frustration as she flicked the hand away "Your just like dad"

Yang continued to toy with her "Well where do you think I get it from?"

Hinami couldn't help but laugh at their bickering, then a knock came from the door so Hinami got up to see Touka standing in the doorway "Hey Hinami look I know it's your day off but Ruby needs that mask, do you think you could take her?" After a few moments Touka looked at Hinami then Ruby "déjà vu"

Yang then asked with a slightly confused expression, "Wait am I missing something here?"

Touka then said, "It's ok, nothing for you to be worrying about"

Yang went to speak up but Hinami decided to interrupt before things continued any further, "Sure I don't see why not"

Yang deciding to drop the subject asked, "Can I come with?"

Touka looked over to Yang then said, "If I were you I wouldn't sometimes when she has a human customer she can't control herself"

Ruby spoke up defensive tone "I won't let that happen!"

Touka smiled as said, "As I said if I were her I wouldn't, but you never know with you and Hinami there she might behave"

Yang's grin grew as she said, "Sweet! So, when do we go?"

Ruby looked over to Hinami with a questioning gaze as if asking the same question, Hinami laughed "Well I was going to head out soon so I guess we could go now"

"Yes! Also, can I get a mask too?" Yang asked

Touka shrugged uncaringly "Sure but you're buying for you" then walked back to the café.

And that's the end to another chapter, let me know what you guys think and also as a few quick side notes, firstly I have actually found a website where I can read the 'Tokyo Ghoul' and 'Tokyo Ghoul: Re' Manga's and I only just got caught up with it completely.

Secondly, so you guys know how well this is going so far, I have just finished the 14th chapter and started the 15th but at the same time with chapter 14 I was really tired and had the problem of the infamous 'writers block' so I'll say this in advance, sorry for that being a mess and just a shity chapter in general there are chapters where I did have to rush or was too tired to write well so not all of them are good.

Anyways if you want to know anything else please do let me know and remember to review the chapters so I can improve with my content and give you readers an easier time with reading this, I hope you continue to enjoy this and as always see you in the next chapter.
