Nobody Can Save Me

Disclaimers I own neither Naruto or RWBY, or LINKIN Park I'm just a fan who likes to show his appreciation to the things that help him get through everyday life.

Before I start the story I want to ask you guys to leave me your favorite LINKIN PARK song in the review section and why, though I'm bending the rules on this since it doesn't have to be a LINKIN PARK song per se, it could also be songs from their collaboration with Jay-Z, from Mike's time in Fort Minor, or Chester's Dead by Sunrise, hell I'll even let any songs they covered lived.

10. OneStep Closer

9. Given Up

8. Numb/Encore

7. P5ng Me *way

6. Final Masquerade

5. What I've Done

4. High Voltage

3. Wish (NIN originally)

2. Bleed it out (Live At Milton Keynes)

1. Breaking the Habit

Now on to the story.

It was no secret that Ruby Rose was a busy bee, and even then she managed to keep a good grade point average in school, but given how she's a senior, and like any senior in their last year in school they tend to slack off.

So much so that Ruby had a D- in her economics and government class which was a required class needed to pass and graduate at her school.

She was given a chance to do some extra credit work, but it required her to use her laptop, which she left back at her home, where her uncle had returned after god knows how many days from a drunk bender.

Ruby had texted Yang in advance if it was ok for her to return back home and pick up some stuff for school, to which the elder texted her back saying that their uncle was out like a light before she left to work.

Taking a chance Ruby had returned to the run down home that looked like it should be part of trashy trailer park.

But if you took a better look at Ruby's neighborhood it wasn't the greatest, yet there was no need to add bars to the windows or having an iron screen door with a look of its own.

Once Ruby came in she saw that her uncle wasn't either passed out on the kitchen table, or on the couch, but instead heard the shower was running in bathroom.

Not knowing how much time she had, Ruby quickly made it to her room where she began to gather her things, before she heard the water was no longer running.

Trying to make a quick exit with her school supplies and laptop she dashed down the hall only to bump into her uncle wearing nothing but a bathrobe before he turned and looked down on Ruby.

"Ruby, where the hell are you going" Qrow said menacingly, "I was going out to study with my friends" Ruby said innocently, "You're not going anywhere yet, now sit down on the couch and wait until I say so".

Not wanting to get on her uncle's bad side, Ruby obliged as she went to the living room and waited.

When Qrow would usually make Ruby sit down, it be for one or two reasons, he was either mad for something being broken or missing and needs to beat someone, or an impossible proposal that also ends with a beating.

Only on rare occasions would Ruby or Yang would get yelled out of the house, but it all depends on Qrow's mood.

Soon the guardian figure came out in a black button up shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, and wore black jeans, and matching black biker boots with spurs on the back.

"So where the hell have you been" Qrow said as he stood over Ruby, "I've been studying and doing homework" Ruby said half lying, "Bullshit, I've been keeping track on you when you don't come home at night, or for days".

It's true, if Ruby wasn't spending the night at Naruto's, she's spending it at Denny's until it was time for her to go to school, and still working at the community center helping people.

"Now tell me, where the hell have you been" Qrow said only for Ruby to fidget and not say a word, before Qrow slapped her across the face.

"I asked you a question, now tell me damn it. Is it some boy, or are you becoming a fuck up like your sister" Qrow said angrily as Ruby held her hand over the cheek that was recently slapped.

"I've been hanging out with Naruto" Ruby said with tears escaping her eyes as if she had just sold out her most important friend who was in danger.

"Naruto? Who the fuck is Naruto" demanded Qrow as he showed he was obviously not a part of the girls and their social lives unless it benefits him.

"He's a boy I've been helping at the community center" sobbed Ruby, "Ah, a problem child. Take my advice, it's best to hook up with someone who's the opposite of you, yet compliments you" Qrow said.

Ruby began to cry in her place, before Qrow leered over her, before sitting right next to her, and proceeded to wrap an arm around her.

"Shh, shh, there, there now, no need to cry" Qrow said as he was trying to comfort Ruby, but lord only knows why.

"Why settle with a boy with daddy issues when you can hook up with a real man" Qrow said as he forced Ruby to lift her chin up and look at him, "Someone like me".

Like that, Ruby's world and mind had shattered as she had always feared of this day that her uncle would someday violate her, but out of a form of control and dominance, and she'd seen victims like these before.

"Qrow, you need to let go of me" Ruby said before her uncle went and stole a kiss from her, before pulling away, "I just remembered that you're 18 now, making it totally legal" Qrow said with a devilish smirk.

"Qrow Stop!" Ruby said as she was pushing her uncle off only for him to pin her on the couch, "Don't worry, we're not even related by a bit, so this makes it totally legal. In fact I haven't given you a birthday present this year have I" Qrow said sickly.

Ruby didn't want this, nobody wanted this, and every victim who has dared to suffer like this wish they could die instead of living, but then they don't and live the rest of their lives as broken people who are forever dead inside.

But what Ruby feared the most is that this experience might finally cause her to do herself in, and she didn't want that, she didn't want to hurt Yang like she did that day, or lose the memories of Weiss, Penny, or Jaune the man who she had crushed for a long time.

But especially she didn't want to forget Naruto, or give him a reason to forget all the good he's done and all the people he had asked to forgive, because she loves him for being the friend that taught her that everything is alright and she'd been forgiven.

For a long time she's been searching for something out there, that had been missing in here her heart that had been felt with pain and sadness that she felt she had been nothing but a bad luck charm to cause nothing but pain and misery before she had born.

Even now Ruby contemplates for being responsible for many deaths and heart breaks, but she finally chased out the darkness, and could hold up a light when nobody could save her,

But ever since she met Naruto, she fell wide awake and learned that only she can save herself and those around her she put her heart and soul to it.

So instinctively Ruby went and kneed her uncle in the crotch before kicking him off the couch, and hurried to the door only to felt something hit her in the head before she finally collapsed to the ground.

It was one of the many empty glass beer bottles that were layed around the house as had picked himself up and was the one responsible for nearly knocking Ruby out.

Ruby mean while groaned in pain as she began to try picking herself up, before Qrow went and stomp on back causing her to slam back to the floor.

"You fucking bitch" Qrow said as he began to kick Ruby in to the ground, and proceeded to beat her like he never had before.

In about less than 10 minutes, if you could look under Ruby's clothes her body was covered in bruises, her head was bleeding, and possibly a broken bone.

Ruby had whimpered before Qrow spat on her, before proceeding to exit the house leaving Ruby by herself to wallow in pain.

It was only after an hour did Yang came back home out of fear when Ruby wasn't picking up any of her calls or texts, and instantly broke down when she saw the state Ruby was in.

As soon as Yang had called 911 to come as fast as they can, and went with the paramedics to the hospital was around the time Yang had called Naruto.

Naruto who had called Hinata to urgently to come back and hurry up to take him to the hospital was now rushing in and saw Yang outside the ER room who rushed in and cried in Naruto's arms.

"Yang what happened" Naruto said as he began to sooth the older blonde, "Ruby was…sob…she had…sob…oh god" choked Yang as talking wasn't an option right now.

"Yang I need you to calm down and take a deep breath" Naruto said as the elder sister began to calm down a little.

"Ruby had went home…sob…to get things for school…but our uncle was home…" sobbed Yang, as Naruto could already piece in together the story, but he needed to hear it from Yang first.

"Your uncle was home and then what" asked Naruto as Yang tried to talk but couldn't as she continued to cry her heart out, proving Naruto's accusation to be an accurate one.

Ruby had mentioned her uncle was an asshole to them, but he'd never expected he'd be messed up in the head enough to put his own niece into the hospital.

"Yang I need you to tell me right now, where your uncle is at, and where's the best place I can find him" Naruto said as he made an angry face that the new found scars on his cheeks made him all the more threatening.

This got pretty dark way to quickly, but the story still has to continue on. Also sorry for the chapter being too short, but as they say less is more when trying to make a point.

I want to add that if there's anything I hate more than people who instigate others into suicide, or caused them to be suicide, it's rapist, because it's also not a subject to be taken lightly like suicide, because this causes long term psychological and even trust issues, and I know because I have a few relatives who was a victim of sexual abuse, and I see it in their actions and choices that even though they tend to act like some of the biggest assholes in society, and even though ironically they both have taken professions to help society, frankly they aren't suited to do so as they're some of the biggest hypocrites that I am honestly at time sick at the heart to recognize them as family members, but I can't blame them, in all honesty I simply don't take them serious when it comes to life advice 95% of the time.

As always suicide is not the answer, and should never be a thought no matter the reason as to why you'd start thinking or what got you thinking it in the first place, and if you, a friend, or relative have these thought please seek immediate help because you are not and will never be alone.

On one final note this is probably gonna be the last chapter I'll be posting for this month, but I ain't going to call on hiatus, as that would imply I'd be doing anything but writing.

As I mentioned I was going to start moving within the month, so the time has come for me to start packing my things and move out and wait until I can get wifi in my new crib, but until then I'll be still writing offline, and await your guys' support and reviews since I started writing this fic since day, and hope that this is helping you guys until the very end, so give yourself either a pat on the back or a cheer for yourselves depending on the time and place you guys are currently at.

Now this is where I say see ya later, and continue working.

With love and hope from your Humble Narrator.
