Chapter Seven

Mad Dashes

##################################################

Blake was enjoying her book when all of a sudden a tapping was heard. It was very quiet like someone hitting a padded object with a pillow. It was something Blake thought that she was going to be able to over look it. . . . . That was until it just wouldn't stop. It kept on going and going and going. It was constant with measured beat like a heartbeat but more annoying. She felt her eye begin to twitch to the beat. As her eye twitched she learned that she had been reading the same line for the last ten minutes.

The tapping stopped and Blake sighed in relieve. Weiss looked at her questionally but Blake just shook her head.

Blake smiled as she finally got the second line of the page when the tapping happened again. Blake swiftly snapped the book close with enough force to emit a loud noise that seemed to echo in the empty training field. Weiss jumped in shock crying out cutely like a little kid as she almost fell over.

Yang's foot stopped in mid-beat as she looked over to her old partner. She was mildly surprised to see Blake glaring at her while clenching her book in her lap. She looked to the book back up to Blake's face before she placed her foot back on the ground. As her foot hit she watched Blake's face and it twitched. Yang raised an eyebrow as she tapped her foot again and got a twitch in return. Yang smiled wickedly as she finally had something to do to relieve her boredom.

The foot began to tap again and the eyebrow twitched in rhythm as Weiss looked from Yang to Blake feeling very lost all of a sudden. From what she could gather Blake was glaring at Yang for no reason. All she could see that Yang was doing was smiling and tapping her foot. She wasn't making any noise that she could hear for the lush grass blocked all sound.

Weiss was even more surprised when Blake took her book by one hand and moved her arm back. When Blake pulled it back Weiss finally understood why. Blake was going to chuck her book at Yang. Weiss was really lost now.

Just before the book was thrown a voice was heard breaking the silence.

"Blake what are you doing?"

Such a simple phrase. Just five simple words with many meanings by themselves but together asking a question. Five simple words with unforetold consequences.

As the words were spoken Weiss shrieked in fear. Yang stopped tapping and Blake got scared. She turned to the noise and chucked her book. She blinked in surprise as the book sailed through the air to smack Ruby hard in the forehead by a corner of the book.

"Ow, Blake why did you do that for?"

Ruby cried out as she rubbed her forehead. She looked at her lap to see what had hit her and saw an open book. She read a line in the middle of the book and paled.

Blake looked on as Ruby's face paled. Just as she was trying to remember what the book was about Ruby cried out.

"What is He trying to do to Her?!"

Yang dashed over before anyone else moved and picked up the book.

Blake looked on in shock as she watched Yang read the entire page before turning it. It was then that she remembered that Yang had said she didn't like reading, well, except some romance book. The ones with explicit content. All of a sudden it clicked inside Blake mind what the book was about. It was a romance book with only one such scene.

Of all Blake's luck she believed that the book had fell open to that one scene. And that Ruby just had to read the worst line of the entire page. It didn't help matter at all when Blake saw that Yang had turned back to page to read it again. It also didn't help see the flush staining Yang's cheeks or Ruby's wide-eyed in wonder. It came to Blake's attention that Ruby had indeed lived a sheltered life with little to no contact with people beside her family. There was no other way for Ruby to be so naïve.

Blake was just about to say something to Ruby when Yang turned the page to read it again. She had just about had enough. Blake slammed her hands on the ground and propelled herself upwards. In one fluid motion she grabbed her book and looked at the page. What she saw made her raise her eyebrow. The page depicted the main heroine getting shoved in a car as the villain kidnapped her after the hero fell asleep. Blake looked up as Ruby asked.

"Hey Yang can I stop acting shocked? And why did you have to whisper for me to do that when you grabbed the book?"

Blake heard the questions and just like that she was filled with all the pent-up aggravation and anger of having been Yang's partner before. She felt like a bottle that was going to burst. Just one thing anything at all would make her explode. That one thing came quite clearly as.

"Hey Blakey what's the matter it's not like the book holds any raunchy scenes. Unless it does?" Yang stopped to take in the expression of her ex-partner and gasped. "It so does. And I missed it. I bet it was the page right before the one I read. Let me see. Hey Blake give me the book." Yang shout as she tried to get the book only for Blake to block her hands and put the book away.

Blake side-stepped Yang's lunges and smacked her upside the head with a sheathed Gambol Shroud. As the sound of the hit rang out another sound was heard. It was of the bracelets turning in to fully mechanized weapons of pain and fire. Blake just knew she was going to feel this in the morning.

Just as Blake was going to be hit the blow stopped. Blake opened her eyes having not realized she had closed them in the first place. She looked in front of her and blinked again as her mouth dropped open slightly in shock. There standing in front of her holding back Yang's fist with just the palm of her hand as the flames licked at her skin was Ruby. She wasn't even struggling as she forced Yang's fist away. She then grabbed the fist in both hands and threw her sister bodily across the clearing and through some trees. She then started yelling while pointing a finger at her sister who was trying to get unstuck from a pricker-bush.

"Yang you're not going along with the training schedule. We're suppose to be fighting some Grimm not each other right now. That's scheduled for later." Ruby shouted as she fisted her hand and placed them on her hips. The blew causing her red cloak to billow out behind.

Yang acting like the mature teenager she was she pouted. She crossed her arms over her chest sitting cross-legged on the ground. Her lower lip jutted out as she frowned staring at a blade of grass. She listened to her sister yell about the Grimm before she had to say something.

"Well there are no Grimm here. How about you go and round us up some." Yang yelled from her position. She had just wanted to make her sister stop yelling at her. She had not been the slightest bit serious about her going Grimm bait. What she didn't need to hear was.

"Fine, I'll do just that." Ruby hollered as she ran at her sister. She jumped and landed on her sister's head. She made sure to rub her boots on as much of her sister's beautiful blonde hair as she could as punishment. She jumped off and went full tilt in to the forest swing her scythe in anger. Many trees met their fate as a Red ball of speed barely over five feet tall had a temper tantrum.

Ruby was so mad she ran smack dap in to a pack of Beowulf without realizing. She turned her and saw the Alpha walk towards her. She wasn't in the mood so she gave her fiercest glare. The one that was reserved for her sister or her uncle. The Alpha bowed its head and backed away. Ruby looked on in surprise as the pack backed away from her. With out so much as a single growl the Beowulves gave ground to what they believed was their true Alpha.

Ruby blinked her eyes in shock as the last of the Beowulves disappeared from sight. She didn't notice that her eyes slowly changed back to silver as her sclera turned back to white. To her it was like they never changed at all. She sighed as she remember what she needed to do.

Ruby took off in a fast trot as she ran past tree and bushes. She saw many Ursa. She threw rocks at them to come chase her. As she was running she saw a Death Stalker and a King Taijitu in the distance. She turned in that direction leading the herd of Ursa to the giant Grimm. When she got there she jumped up in to a tree. She took a deep breath as she got situated on the branch far out of reach and out of harms way as the Grimm milled around the base of her tree. She did the only thing that would make Yang ran here as fast as she could. She . . . . Screamed.

###################################################

Weiss looked to the woods then to her friends. She was very very worried right now. Her little leader had just run off alone in to a forest infested with Grimm and no one was doing anything. Blake's mouth was hanging open. She was doing a wonderful rendition of a fish that Weiss would have commented about if she wasn't so worried. Yang was just staring far off for some reason. Weiss didn't know if it was because her hair was a mess or that Ruby had used her as a stepping stool. It also might have been that Ruby could have knocked something loose. Weiss wasn't going to rule that one out.

Weiss started to walk to the forest then stopped. She didn't want to go alone so she walked back to her spot. But she couldn't just stand still so she walked back towards the forest only to stop. Weiss heard a howl and walked fast back to her friends. She sighed before she gathered her courage and walked back to the forest Again only to have that courage flee her as she got close.

As Weiss walked back and forth from the forest her partner was saying.

"Yang are you just going to sit there and let your LITTLE sister go off alone like that?" Blake asked essence on the little. She wasn't given an answer as Yang continued to stare off in to space. Blake ground her teeth as the minutes ticked by.

Ten minutes went by and a scream was heard.

Yang jumped to her feet as if she had been electrocuted. She turned and screamed.

"RUBY!?"

Yang took off full speed as she ran to her sister's aid. She didn't even bother running around the trees she just went through them. One punch for a single tree was all that was need for said tree to shatter on impact. The force of the blows caused the tree to be cut in two with a six-foot gap that the blonde jumped through. The top part fell in the path of the other members of her team but Yang could have cared less. All that was running through her mind was that she must get to Ruby. Screw all else she wouldn't let her little sister die. She had been way to small to protect her mom but she wouldn't lose her sister too. It didn't matter to her that she hadn't even been anywhere near her mom when her mom was killed. She still believed that she could have done something.

"Hang on Ruby I'm coming"
