Chapter 8
Her body reflexively jerked as she awoke to a world of darkness.
No, wait, her eyes were closed.
She cautiously opened them, and instantly squeezed them shut, wincing in pain.
She rubbed her eyes and tried again, this time biting back the tiny stings of pain.
She was in a hallway… or what was left of one… and surrounded by bodies.
'My teammates!' she thought to herself, followed by, 'Wait… What teammates? I don't have teammates… I am… who am I?'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a small moan from next to her.
Looking down, she saw a smaller girl, wrapped in a dirty red cape, was hugging at her leg.
'Ruby.' Her mind said.
Memories came flooding back to her, of Ruby, her teammate and partner, and of Yang the vivacious, though annoying, blonde, and Blake, the mysterious and quiet cat faunus.
Ruby spasmed, and also opened her eyes… her silver orbs were visible only for a second, as she too squeezed her eyelids shut.
"Wha- Where? Who?" came another voice… the 'bodies' around her all stirred.
A few sat up too quickly, and had to lay back down, others clutched their heads and moaned in pain.
"W-Weiss… you okay?" Ruby, still clutching her leg, asked.
'Weiss… Weiss Schnee… that's my name… and OH GOD SHE'S HOLDING MY LEG!' Her mind screamed, and she reflexively jerked her leg away.
"Yep… you're fine." She finished with a grin, which Weiss couldn't help but return.
Several minutes later, after all the damaged students were moved to the safety and shelter of a classroom, did people start chattering excitedly.
Nora squealed like a whistling bomb, and jumped on Ren. Yang and Blake sat in a corner, talking in whispers…, Her eyes snapped back to Yang… something was different about her… but before she could figure it out, Velvet and Yatsuhashi kissed… in full view of everyone, which disturbed her train of thought.
Weiss couldn't help but stare at Ruby, who was dashing this way and that, giving water and vending machine food to students.
'She sure likes helping people…' she thought, and smiled at the Reaper whenever said reaper turned in her direction.
'Why are you smiling? You are a Schnee, act like it.' A darker part of her mind chided.
'She's a friend… She practically helped me remember my own name. of course im smiling, so shut up.' She argued back.
'A Schnee Heiress doesn't go goo-goo eyed… especially at a girl.'
'Goo-goo eyed?'
She pulled out a mirror, and looked at her reflection.
Here mouth was wide in a goofy smile. She looked up, and shrieked in surprise.
"Heya Weiss!" Ruby said, her face inches from her own, "Need a snack?"
But Weiss didn't register words, or anything really, she was staring into Ruby's gray orbs.
"Uh… Weiss? You're staring at me…" Ruby said uncertainly.
"Wha-?" Weiss shocked herself out of her stupor, "Oh, sorry… Yeah, I could ea-…"
Ruby cut her off with a soft peck on the nose, "Okay, he-."
It was then when Weiss lost it, she cut Ruby off by kissing her… on the mouth.
Having the Caped girl's face so close, combined with the nose kiss, shattered Weiss self control.
Ruby jerked her head back at first, but came back milliseconds later.
Hours, Days, Weeks could have passed for Weiss, but hse didn't care.
'I think I love Ruby…' her mind idled.
'Ya think?' The darker part mocked.
Alas, her bliss was not meant to continue… a hand came out of nowhere and grabbed the back of her jacket.
"You, me, corner, now." Came an odd sounding serious voice.
Looking up, she saw Yang had grabbed her, and was now dragging her away from Ruby.
Yang threw her into a chair… roughly, but not gently either.
"What. The. FUCK, Weiss?" Yang asked, flickers of red appearing in her lilac eyes.
"I… Don't know… I like your sister, I guess…" She mumbled.
"'You don't know'? Well, ya didn't show anything like 'liking' my sister before… now youre kissing her in public…" Weiss looked up, and finally noticed what was different about Yang.
"Yang, oh my god… your hair… its…"
"Don't remind me… or change the subject. I don't want you treating my sister like you treat everyone else. If you like her, and she likes you, more power to ya… but if I see any evidence of hurt in my sister… and youre linked to it… you are dead." Yang stormed away.
"Don't mind her… well, at least not now…" Another voice behind her said.
"Oh… Blake… didn't see you there." Weiss said after spinning around.
"She's just in a bad mood about her hair… You should talk to her after she calms down." The cat faunus said, then walked away.
Weiss watched her leave, then went back over to Ruby.
"Ruby… We should talk… nothing bad… but definitely conversation worthy…" Ruby perked up, and they began to talk about their relationship.
"Give me a situation report, NOW!" The tall man ordered from his monitor 'throne'.
His underlings were scrambling about below him, gathering data, and attempting to avoid their enraged leader.
Finally, one worker approached him.
"Out of a previous 530 students, we still control… 265." He said, and instantly flinched, expecting the worse.
"Okay…" Came the only response.
The man looked up, and watched as his boss leaned in close to watch the last operating monitor, where a girl in red was fighting two guys in armor.
"We'll just have my Lieutenant reacquire students once she's done playing. Prepare more Mental Suppression Devices."
The workers, soldiers, and scientists around him all echoed together, "YES, GENERAL IRONWOOD!"
A/N: DUN, DUN, DUNNNNN! The enemy is revealed. at least to you readers... Will Pyrrha successfully subdue Jaune and Cardin? Why is Ironwood attempting to take over Beacon? What will Yang do with her new haircut? All will be revealed in the next chapter!
