A/N: Mostly fluff chapter, because I am trash. Err, if you call this fluff that is.


Roman / ? /

"Sir, it appears we've lost communication for several hours now." A soldier reported with a certain tone of fear and timidness in his voice. "I fear we do not know where they are."

"Oh, is that so?" Roman replied, his tone of voice was hard to make out. "Do we know where they were last headed?" He now swiveled his chair around as he sat in an office. Though, whether they had actually belonged in that place was questionable.

"Uh, y-yes sir, their last seen coordinates are recorded. Do we want to send out a team?" The soldier did his best to remain strong as he spoke to Roman. As Roman held a certain intimidation to him. He may have been an elite guard, but that meant power and to everyone else it was a position to be feared.

He smirked and shook his head. "No, there is no need. We will let the dominos fall by themselves." He pulled out a lighter and a cigar and lit it up. "Now leave me. I have some important matter to attend to." He kicked his feet up on the desk he was sitting at as he begun to smoke indoors.

The soldier exited while another person entered.

"Ahem! What do you think you're doing?" The person's rough voice made Roman smirk. "I thought you'd be out of here by now...are you..Are you smoking?!" The person roared. "Take that outside!"

"Temper, temper. I'll be out of your hair soon. You should be glad we've done everything right so far. Maybe a minor setback or two, but we've got everything under control."

"Hmph. I hope you know what you're doing." He sneered.

"Of course I do. They are right where they're supposed to be." Roman smirked and chuckled to himself, blowing out smoke and walking passed the person.

Yang & Weiss / Vale

The two girls had seemed to have passed out for the rest of the day. A fight, an escape, a long car ride, and finally a new home - the girls seemed to have been worn out by all this. A good 12 hours of sleep, one might have thought they were dead, but no, just two teenagers in need of a good sleep. Although, the time of day was possibly now 1 to 2 a.m in the morning. Seeing as the two girls had arrived a bit after dawn. To which the drive had taken a bit longer than expected to arrive there so they arrived around 9 to 10 am. Then had finally fallen asleep in the same bed around 1'o clock.

Weiss was the first one to awaken, it was around 1 AM. A little too early to be awake. Though she had a problem, she couldn't move. She felt an intense warmth encumber her body. She felt slight movements on her stomach and on her side. A calm and content breath could be heard behind her. The movement from behind became a bit more snug on her as the body behind her moved. Was Yang cuddling up to her? That was definitely out of the question, because she certainly was. Should she move?

The majority of her body and mind wanted to cuddle back up to her, but Weiss internally protested. She hardly knew the girl, but either way. She felt extremely safe, and comforted, and all the likes. Her body was aching for her to stay. "No. No.." she muttered to herself as quietly as she could. She was fighting a losing battle, with herself. Though it didn't help that Yang was like a puzzle piece on her side. They just fit so perfectly and Weiss knew it.

Weiss momentarily gave in. As she seemed to snuggle back into Yang who just tightened her grip around Weiss's small frame. She scrunched her face as she laid there, wide awake. She wanted to deny all of this. Even though she did have a crush on Yang, she was afraid. Afraid of the intimacy, afraid of what it meant if she had decided to actual commit to being with Yang. But wasn't she already committed? Weiss huffed to herself in frustration.

She took another deep breath and lightly pried the taller girl's hands away from her body. She then scooted herself away from the sleeping body. Already she had missed the sensation of closeness, with her own personal heater. Weiss sat up and looked back at Yang. The odd lighting of the hidden cave shone on Yang's face. Though not as romantic as a real moonlight moment. Weiss could appreciate her friends beauty as she slept.

With what little light she was offered, Weiss shuffled towards the closet. She could make out the necessities of what she needed to get dressed inside of the closet. She was fairly surprised at the amounts of clothes that Coco had managed to give the girls. Weiss wondered if all of the residents were given this much. Then again most of these clothing seemed like they could be obtained at a goodwill store. Not that Weiss minded that of course seeing as this was a odd situation for everyone.

With the clothes in hand she made her way to the restroom, surprisingly not bumping into anything. Closing the door and locking it behind her while turning the lights on she felt a small sense of satisfaction. Never in her life had she been so far away from it all, her father, the mansion, her friends. This was all so new and strangely exciting, but this was not to say that she didn't miss her friends. Part of her wanted to share this moment with her two best friends from back home. But she knew that they were safe and sound, and really, that's all she cared for - that everyone she loved was safe. Including...including Yang (though of course, Weiss wasn't one to say that she was in love with Yang because she says so!).

Weiss hopped into the shower and washed herself off. She hadn't realized that she too, was a little sore. So much activity for one day. Not that Weiss didn't work out or do any sort of sport, but this was such a different a experience for her that her body just didn't know how to react to it. As she showered she felt a warm feeling in her chest. Surely, she thought, her body was just fatigued.

The steam filled the bathroom as she stepped out of the shower and grabbed her towel, wrapping it around her. She let the steam settle, and looked through the cabinets to find a fresh hairbrush. Although from the looks of it, it seemed like it wasn't as fresh as she thought as yellow hairs seemed to be entangled within the brush. She merely rolled her eyes and removed the hairs, throwing them away in a trashcan that was in the restroom. As her eyes met the mirror now she widened her eyes in horror.

Was she...there is no way she could be...glowing? Her chest was glowing? She wasn't a monster. She knew she wasn't. She let out a small shriek. Within an eyeblink the door was broken open and a very concerned, yet tired looking Yang burst through the door.

"Are you okay?!" Yang looked around for some sort of intruder. Yang's eyes now rested on the almost nude Weiss, who's towel was still wrapped around her.

"Y-you! You did this!" She pointed to her chest sounding a little flustered.

Yang looked away, she did have some respect, y'know. "I didn't do anything!" She retorted, "I came in to check on you, you did like yell after all!"

Weiss closed in on Yang pulling her face down to her chest.

"H-hey w-hat are you?! Whoooaa." Yang now looked down at Weiss's chest, or more like, where her heart was. It was glowing. Though, to Yang it didn't look like the kind of glow that she wore. It was different. This was a marking, but not one that signified she was a monster.

"See?! Now I'm one too!" Weiss sounded a little panicked.

"Whoa, whoa. Calm down. I don't think you're a monster, Weiss." Yang talked almost as if she knew what she was talking about.

"Are you kidding me? How do you even know?" Weiss sounded a little doubtful.

"Call it a hunch." Yang shrugged, eyeing Weiss a little more. Now taking in the full sight of an undressed Weiss. Her icy blue eyes glared back at the taller girl, her white and wet flowing hair rested over her shoulder. The sound of an impatient foot tap could be heard on the tiled floor. As Yang brought her eyes back up to Weiss. Who was sporting a scowl and a blush.

"Oookay. Are we d-done here then?" She stuttered as she spoke, clearly unsure of what to actually say. Part of her was still concerned with this new revelation that she glowed now like Yang, but Yang seemed fairly confident in her own words. Which gave Weiss small hope that this wasn't actually what it looked like. Though, it looked like she was glowing.

"I'll let you get dressed then." She said yawning and looked back at the door - which she clearly had broke. They weren't even in the house for 24 hours and already Yang was breaking things. "Uhh. Whoops. I'll get that fixed." She muttered as she walked out of the restroom and back towards their bedroom.

Weiss got dressed and headed out of the restroom to find a content-looking Yang laying on the bed with her hands behind her head. Weiss raised an eyebrow at the girl.

"What are you so smug for?" Weiss now joined Yang, but chose to sit next to Yang, instead of lay down.

"It's funny. I was in the same situation when that happened to me." Yang admitted.

"Are you implying that I am going to turn into a monster now?" Weiss eyed her with a rather concerning look on her face.

"No, no." Yang now sat up next to Weiss, but held herself up as she slightly leaned back on her arms on the bed. "I still don't think that. Back home, I basically grabbed my sister and almost forced her to look at me. At the time, I did think it was contagious...but somehow I just don't think that's it for right now."

"For right now?" Weiss repeated.

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Yang chuckled.

"Yeah, you're saying I'm going to turn into a monster!" Weiss pouted, though in truth it was a playful pout.

"No, I'm not!" Yang flicked Weiss's nose, while Weiss scrunched up her face - fully accepting the hit.

"Hey!" She lightly punched the side of Yang's arm, who was now sitting in a criss-cross position. Yang also had a huge grin on her face. Were they...were they getting along? Weiss and Yang both couldn't tell if they were in the process of flirting with each other. "So...what do you think it is?" Weiss now finally asked.

"Well, when you were asleep in the car...Port mentioned partners, and I think...I think this might be a clue, or a sign, or something." Yang scratched the nape of her neck. She knew she sounded a bit silly, but her heart and gutwas telling her that it might be true. Though, they wouldn't be for certain.

"You mean like a mate?"

"Partner, mate, companion...yeah something like that. Wait, mate? No, no..partners and companions is like buddies, pals, or y'know sidekicks!" Yang said in a blush, that word 'mate' had made it seemed like they were meant for something more.

"I'm not a sidekick!" Weiss retorted "You do know that partners is basically synonymous with mate, right?" She raised an eyebrow at Yang.

Yang furrowed her brows "I knew that!" She waved off. She bit her lip as she momentarily sat in thought. A silence came between the two. It wasn't by any means an awkward silence, just once that the two could think to themselves. To Yang, this was a new discovery. Yang's whole life was spent as a single woman, who kicked ass and never cared for names. Now everything had changed. She could still kick ass, but there was only one name she cared for (asides from her sister, Ruby) and that was Weiss. It seemed that Yang had finally met her match. Because Yang, had slowly started to fall for the white-haired, icy blue eyed beauty.

While Weiss, had a feeling that they just were meant to be. But she herself was someone who had always denied suitors. None of them just appealed to her, no attraction, no feelings, not until she met Yang. That isn't to say that neither Weiss, nor Yang had tried for a relationship in the past. It's just that neither of them had ever had the feeling of falling in love, if this was love that is. Because, every previous relationship the two girls might have engaged in was lacking. Almost as if they weren't with the right person. Is this what the feeling was in both of their hearts? Love?

The two now looked at each other as if both of them just knew what the other was thinking about. Yang broke the silence, "Uhh, I think I'm still a little tired." She admitted, although it was a small lie, she wasn't that tired anymore but part of her just didn't know what to do. "I think I'll hit the sack. Again."

Weiss nodded and proceeded to get off the bed, she head back to the living room where she thought she belonged. Before she could even get through the door Yang called out to her,

"Hey, where ya' going?"

"Back to bed?" Weiss answered.

"Weren't you sleeping here before?" Yang patted the pillow Weiss had been laying on.

"I.." Weiss began but was soon cut off by Yang.

"Y'know, it's pretty strange how I ended up in the bed. I could've sworn I was on the couch." Yang gave Weiss a cheeky grin.

"Okay, okay! I brought you in here."

"And you stayed." Yang's grin grew wider, she behaved like a cocky teenager.

"Yeah, because you asked me to. You sounded so desperate almost." Weiss stood their rather firmly and spoke in a serious tone. "You said you needed me, or something like that."

The huge grin was wiped off Yang's face in almost an instant and replaced with a lip bite. "S-sorry about that." Yang remembered her own dream she had that night. It was about her mother. A mother she loved so dearly, but only to have her leave her for reasons unknown. In the midst of her dream a rather warm and friendly light encompassed her body. Yang vaguely remembers speaking to the light. She asked it to stay, and to not leave her like her mother once had. To Yang's surprise, the light had stayed and snuggled up to Yang. This had given her the feeling of safeness, and hope. It had just dawned on Yang, that the light in her dream was actually Weiss. That, and it wasn't just a dream but in fact had happened in real life. She had cuddled up to Weiss. She looked at Weiss and gave her an apologetic smile. "You can go." Her tone slightly hinted at sadness.

"Are you sure?" Weiss now asked, still in her firm tone.

In all honesty, Yang did not want that and she knew she didn't. Would she dare consciously ask

Weiss if she would stay with her again?

"It doesn't look like you are." Weiss now walked back towards the bed where Yang sat.

"I…" Yang began, unsure of what to say. Normally she never had any trouble with decisions. She was a yes or no type of girl. It was not as if Weiss made her uneasy. It was more like, Yang had the constant want of being with Weiss and she didn't know if that would be okay.

"It's okay, you don't have to ask." She crawled into the empty space next to Yang.

Yang looked at her with a thankful smile. "Thanks."

The two tucked themselves in, and laid face to face towards each other. It was still early morning, it couldn't have been past 3 AM. Weiss and Yang gazed at each other underneath the faux-'moonlight'.

"Goodnight Yang." Weiss mumbled.

"Goodnight Prin-I mean, Weiss-y" Yang chuckled to herself only to then feel a slight flick on her nose.

"Ouch. Harsh." Yang smirked to herself.

"Oh yeah? You want to see harsh?" Weiss flicked her nose again, then once more more before Yang grabbed her hand to stop her.

"You don't want to make this monster angry." She growled in a playful manner.

"You wanna bet?" Weiss growled back. She didn't know what came over her, she had never been this playful with another person before. Normally she was someone who didn't care to behave in such a childish manner. With Yang, this too felt so natural as if she wouldn't be judged or hindered in any shape or form.

Yang pulled Weiss to her, and met her halfway. The scent that Weiss had once sported before made an odd appearance as it entered Yang's nostrils. Yang let out a sound that was a mixture between a snarl and purr, that to Yang, was completely unintentional. She found herself plunging into the nape of Weiss's neck, inhaling the scent that was now taking over. She almost felt a little primal. She breathed heavily into her neck and if she was hearing things correctly she could hear the sound of Weiss's heartbeat fasten.

"Y-yang, what are you?" Weiss sounded a little unsure, not exactly uncomfortable but it was enough to pull Yang away from her actions.

Yang blinked several times. "I'm s-sorry. I don't know what came over me." It was a good thing it was dark enough to hide the deep blushes each girl sported.

Yang inched herself back, away from Weiss.

"Goodnight, for real this time." Yang muttered and turned away from Weiss.

"Y-yeah. Goodnight." Weiss too, turned her back towards Yang as the two now slept back to back with a good set of space between the two.


"Aww, I told you they look cute together." An unknown feminine voice said.

"What makes you think I doubted you? I was the one who told you to make them meet each other." Another unknown masculine voice said. "Sheesh. Can't a guy get some credit around here?"

"You always take the credit. Can't I get some too?" The girl replied.

"You know this wouldn't have been possible without you." The boy admitted.

"Thanks. Should we wake them up now?"

"Yeah. We've got a lot to do today. It's a shame, they look like they're really enjoying one another."

"RISE AND SHINE, KIDDOS." The feminine voice now boomed as a couple of claps filled the room.

Weiss and Yang, who had somehow entangled themselves in one another as they slept were now rudely awakened. The two shrieked as the loud voice and claps reverberated throughout the room. Yang quickly pulled away from Weiss and got onto her feet, ready for a fight. Weiss nearly rolled off the bed from being pushed and frightened simultaneously. "Aghh!" Weiss groaned out.

Yang stood firmly as her wild mane covered her face. Rendering her unable to see who the intruder was.

"What's going on!?" Weiss yelled out, now looking up. "Blake?!" She eyed the black haired girl. "How did you…? Scratch that, I'll get that answer later or maybe not at all." She then looked at the figure next to her. Well, monster.

It was a rather shaggy blonde haired monster, with a body similar to that of a monkey's. He had two tails, and four arms with only two legs. His hair, err, fur covered his face, but he seemed to be able to see perfectly fine. He sat there next to Blake, he was rather small for a monster, almost Blake sized if he stood up on his two feet.

"Who is…?" Weiss began to ask as Yang had finally removed the hair from her face.

"Oh, so you're Blake." Yang finally greeted her.

"Pleasure to meet you Yang. This is…" Blake began but was soon cut off by the monster.

"The names Sun!" The Monkey Monster greeted the two.

The two girls stood their, shocked. This was a monster that could talk in monster form, to humans. Yang's mouth was slightly agape. Weiss blinked wildly and rubbed her eyes, making sure she was actually awake.

"Another question to be answered." Weiss muttered to herself as she shook her head.

"Welcome, Yang Xiao Long, Mother of Guardians!" Sun now stood up and outstretched his four arms. He was a little taller than Blake so it seemed like.

"Great. Another nickname. Just what I need." Yang waved off. "Wait, Mother of What? I'm not a.." the words now clicked to Yang, it's just that she didn't know what they meant. All she knew is that she was definitely not a mom!

"You're just going to confuse them more, Sun." Blake eyed him, who was sporting a cheeky monkey grin.

"I'm sure you two have plenty of questions." Sun looked at the both of them.

The two girls now stood together, nodding and shrugging.

"Yeah, and not a damn person here wants to answer a single thing!" Yang complained. She tried asking Velvet, even Port, none of them would answer.

"Well, you're in luck." Blake smiled. "We're here to answer your questions."

"Finally." The two girls said in unison. Though, they were both rather curious on how Blake and Sun might be able to answer their questions. Just how long had they been in this business? They were professionals at this point, weren't they? A roundup of 30 or so was rather impressive, and no one was killing anybody by the looks of it. It was just a safe haven.

"So abou-" Weiss began.

"Ahh, ahh. Not here." Sun cut her off. "Come on, let's go." Sun beckoned.

"Where are we going?" Yang asked.

"Can we get dressed first?" Weiss added.

"You'll see, and yes." Blake answered for them. Well, for answering, it was a start. "We'll wait outside then." Blake pulled Sun alongside her. "No monkey business Sun." she muttered as they left the house.

The two girls looked at each other almost in a confusion.

"That isn't a dream, right?" Yang asked.

"No...I don't think so." Weiss answered back now heading towards the closet, Yang followed behind. The two searched for clothing to wear.

"Hey, Weiss…"

"Don't worry about it." Weiss immediately answered.

"How did you…?"

"Call it a hunch." Weiss smirked back at Yang. "No, really though. I wasn't hurt and that's all that matters."

"Yeah, but...I felt a weird urge in me. Almost if I wanted to lose control and uhh...ravish you." Yang admitted, now grabbing clothing and turning away from Weiss - she hid her blush. As did Weiss.

"R-ravish me?" Weiss repeated, what did that mean exactly?

The two faced away from each other as they changed clothing, a silence filled the air, but once again this was never an awkward silence between the two. As they had finished dressing the two faced each other.

"This is a stupid question, but do you…" Yang began to ask.

"Hey you two! Chop chop!" A voice, Sun's voice could be heard. It was coming from outside.

Weiss motioned for them to exit, and so they did without Yang being able to finish her question. The two grabbed a piece of fruit as they exited the house, a light breakfast for now but not enough to fully satiate their soon to be hunger.

As the two stepped outside, they got a greeting bigger than they expected. The whole community must have been there. They were crowded around Sun and Blake, and now they silenced themselves to look at Yang and Weiss.

"Uhh, hi." Yang quickly put and arm up and waved awkwardly.

"Everyone! Listen up!" Sun began. "We have a new leader who will be working with me. Yang Xiao Long. The Mother of Guardians!"

"Leader?!" Yang and Weiss said in unison.

"Okay, we have to stop doing that." Yang muttered.

"Yes, leader. You are one of the elite guardians. As am I. The Father of Tacticians."

"The what?" Yang replied once again.

"Great." Weiss rolled her eyes and pretended to write on an invisible list. "Another question for question jar."

"Training will begin for the Guardians in due time. As of now, I must get Yang and her mate up-to-date."

"I have a name, y'know." Weiss scowled.

"Let us be off!" Sun finally ended and the small crowd let out a cheer. The crowd had parted for Blake, Sun, Weiss and Yang as they had begun to walk deeper into the cave.

Weiss and Yang reluctantly followed, not daring to ask another question.

The group had come about a minecart turned trolley. The four stepped on and waited. It had begun to move on it's own, and soon they were rolling fairly quickly. Towards a wall.

"Uhm...I don't want to alarm anybody, but there is a huge wall in our path." Yang gave a rather concerned look as Weiss now stuck herself to the side of Yang.

"Not a problem." Sun responded. With a smirk, his whole demeanor changed. His hair began to move wildly, as it now revealed his glowing eye that was hidden underneath his shaggy hair. As they trolley had neared the wall, the surroundings now changed as they had entered a hidden room. Almost like an illusion.

The trolley slowed to a stop.

"Welcome to HQ!" Blake now stepped out of the trolley and into the headquarters.

It wasn't a super impressive place. It was massive like the rest of the cave, but seemed a little more fortified and professional if anything at all. In the distance was a rather large room, with a different colored wall surrounding it, almost like a titanium sort of metal.

"Come on, let's go to the classroom." Blake now motioned for them to follow.

The classroom was on the other side of the headquarters away from the ominous room.

The group now entered a classroom like setting. Weiss and Yang were surprised to see that it was occupied by Velvet and Coco who greeted them with some breakfast.

"Hey, you two." Velvet grinned. "Ohh, it's official now, huh?" Velvet said now staring at Weiss's chest.

"W-what are you talking about?" Weiss covered herself up.

"Ahh…?" Yang was at a loss for the situation.

"Okay, okay! Settle down kids, class is in session." Sun began, as he stood in the front of the room.

"Any questions?" Sun smirked.
