Chapter 7

A/N: I feel like total crap, so forgive me for being late. A local competitive gaming team invited me to their recruitment session. It lasted from 17:00 to 7:00. Good news, I'm a member. Bad news is I haven't been able to work on this. So you might just have to give me a few days before I get back on my normal schedule. Thanks for understanding! Enjoy this chapter.

"Together? Are you sure?" Emerald asked as if she was sending Ruby to an early grave, which to her it may as well have been. Ruby looked reassuringly in Emerald's eyes.

"I would stand by you no matter what the circumstance. I will fight with you until my final breath. Don't worry about me, I'm just worried about you." Ruby said the last sentence with a concerned face.

"I'll be fine. If they burn this down, I'll just find another. Its not like they know exactly where I move every time." Emerald assured.

"But wont you miss this place?" Ruby asked.

"Well. I suppose after all it is just a building. But it does hold memories. I'm not sure, I may miss it, I may not. I guess only time will tell." Emerald said uncertainly. She wasn't quite sure if she cared about this old building or not, but it was where she decided to start her new life. Somewhere deep down she wanted to make sure it survived.

"Wait." Ruby said thinking hard on something placing her finger on her chin to look even more serious. "If this is the White Fang we're talking about…" Ruby left off her sentence not finishing it, she didn't need to.

"No. We can't bring them into this!" Emerald cried.

"It's the White Fang! Plus if they still think you're a threat, this will be a great way to show them you aren't a bad person. You want to help me and not hurt me!" Ruby stated with confidence, she was sure this was the perfect opportunity to stop the White Fang as well as gain the trust from Blake and Yang.

"Still. This isn't their fight. True we have a common enemy, but we don't fight for the same reason. I can't let them get caught up in this like you did. I don't want to risk their lives for something that isn't even relevant to them." Emerald said starting to become a little heated. "You know what? Screw it! If the White Fang want this dumb bakery, let them! I can just move, it's not that big of a deal." Emerald finished, now fuming with anger.

Ruby's heart dropped at her words. They were cruel, yet they were the truth. Ruby couldn't help but want to fight to protect what her girlfriend had built for herself. In a moment of quick genius, Ruby decided the best way to calm Emerald down. Ruby took Emerald by the arm and gestured for her to sit on the bed. By some miracle she had agreed and sat down, her head in her hands.

Ruby sat down, straddling the girl. "I think… We just need to calm down. We need to do something productive with our time and not waste it on just anger itself." Ruby said triumphantly. Ruby leaned forward and pulled Emerald into a kiss, acting as the aggressor, she eventually pushed Emerald down to the bed and eventually breaking from the long kiss the two shared.

"Just relax a little bit okay? We don't have to do anything rash. Not just yet." Ruby said before once again crashing their lips together, but this time Ruby met force back as Emerald was determined to turn the tides of the struggle for power. Seeing as Ruby completed her objective she submitted and let Emerald take the lead.

Ruby went limp in Emerald's arms, letting her put in what ever position she wanted, her only focus was on keeping their lips locked together. Emerald broke to kiss off and let her head fall to the table, letting Ruby's head rest on her breasts. Emerald looked up at the small-framed girl now lying on top of her.

"I love you so much Ruby." Emerald said pulling Ruby into an embrace she had no intention of losing anytime soon.

"I know." Ruby whispered. "I love you too."

"I don't want to fight them." Emerald said after a long silence between the two. "That who I was. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm tired of it." Just as Emerald finished her sentence a loud crash came from the first floor in the bakery. The two hopped up from their positions and readied their weapons.

As the two reached the bottom floor, their jaws fell to the floor in shock. Standing amongst a large squad of nearly twenty White Fang was a girl. That girl just so happened to be Weiss Schnee. "Hope I didn't interrupt things. I tried to keep them quiet, but it seems like they don't take orders well." Weiss said with a smirk.

A White Fang member groaned and raised his right hand in a false attempt to… Grab the air? It didn't matter what the White Fang member though, as he was soon kicked in the temple by a certain someone's white stiletto. Weiss brushed off her skirt and looked back at the two. Both girls were still standing in the hall way with shock, paralyzed at the sight.

"What?" Weiss asked simply.

"What do you mean what?! How… When… What?!" Ruby tried to get her questioning straight but just couldn't seem to find the correct question. Weiss let out a small giggle.

"Well, why you two were having your little bondage time, I was dealing with some pests that seem to like arson." Weiss joked.

"How did you know they were here, and how did you know about the threat that was made against me… Er… Us?" Emerald asked with her curiosity peaked.

"The Schnee Dust Company has quite the wide array of resources. Including satilites and we can monitor anywhere we want if we have reasonable belief that the White Fang or other criminal organization seeks harm against Vale and or its citizens. Plus, did you really think that I would let you just have your way with Ruby? I mean, true I did like her for a time, but I was too busy with my own life to notice my own feelings. So, I fucked up, and I'm going to make sure you don't Miss Emerald." Weiss said pushing her index finger into the green haired girl's chest.

"Weiss… You… Liked me?" Ruby questioned seriously, though it was hard to take anyone seriously after knowing they have been spying on them for the last who knows how long.

Weiss shrugged. "Maybe I did. Hell, I wouldn't know anymore. Plus, I'm over it. And come one, who wouldn't fall for you? I mean your personality is… so… appealing I guess you could say. Anyway, this isn't about me, are you two okay?" Weiss asked snapping into a concerned state.

"We're fine. Nothing happened to us…" Emerald was cut off by Weiss quickly holding her hand up.

"Can I pay you back for a window?" Weiss asked quickly.

"I… Uh… Err… Sure?" Emerald responded questioning the sanity of the girl before her. Weiss marched over to the main window of the building after hearing her confirmation. Weiss punched out the window and threw a White Fang agent to the ground inside of the building and proceeded to straddle him flailing her fists wildly at him. It seemed as if she was blowing off steam on a punching bag, except this punching bag was yelling "Ow!" after every hit.

After Weiss was satisfied with her work, she got off the man who was now unconscious. Walking back towards the two, Weiss looked like she had just remembered something she forgot to do. She turned around and sprinted at the unconscious agent and punted him through the window. "And that's for my childhood, asshole!" Weiss yelled as the man went into an impressive flight.

The two girls looked in shock at the girl who had just single handedly beat up an entire team of White Fang and didn't even break a sweat. Were they supposed to be scared, or thankful?
