Chapter 9
Ruby wake up before her friends. She would like to wake them up herself using the old ways. She nudge her snout onto Blake's cheek, causing the Fauna to swipe in annoyance. The little Grimm begin to purr and this make Blake wake up in defeat. "Alright, Ruby. You win this time..."
She leap from the Fauna's bed and give her a grin. Blake shook her head slightly but she enjoy it. Ruby creep to Weiss' bed. She leap onto her belly and stomp with her little paws. The heiress choke in her sleep and slowly open her eyes. She blush in embarrassment as her aquamarine eyes meet with crimson. She jolt awake and grab Ruby gingerly, "Can you use an alternative way?"
"You mean lick you at your face?" The ice princess' cheeks reddened and quickly drop her down. She excuse herself to use the bathroom. Now it's Yang's turn. Her sister sometime kick whoever tries to wake her up. She silently leap onto her bed and vigorously lick her face. The blonde moan and immediately wake up. She giggle and grab Ruby in her hands, "That tickles, Ruby!"
The little Grimm give her a grin, "Good morning, Yang!" She said in a cheerful little voice. The blonde miss her voice. She drop her little sister next to her and ruffle her fur, "Good morning, baby sis." She gets up into sitting position and stretch both of her arms. The little Grimm wag her tail and give out a yelp to her big sister. The blonde giggle. She pick her up and bring her to the bathroom. The Grimm begin to struggle. She know what her sister's gonna do to her.
"It's time for your bath, little sis!" Ruby begin to whimper and attempt to do puppy eyes to her but Yang manage to resist. She say, "That won't work on me, Ruby! You know you need a bath!" Weiss just finish using the bathroom exited and look at them with a puzzled look. But as she heard Yang said bathing Ruby, she decided to join. "Need my help?"
"Sure, I want you to get a shampoo and make sure she's in the water!" The blonde said cheerfully. Ruby try to escape from her sister's grip but she's weak when she's in her smaller Grimm. Yang handed her to Weiss and the heiress drop her into the tub full of water. Her furs are soak wet. But things started to get worse as Weiss and Yang's eyes shines as they grab a bar of soap and brush.
From the outside, Blake hear yelps and screams of her team mates in the bathroom. She look up from her book and slightly shook her head. Few minutes later, Ruby scurry away from the bathroom before Weiss caught her to dry her up with a towel. The little Grimm escape from the heiress' grip and run towards Blake. Yang exit the bathroom with her hair cover in water. "Seriously, I didn't know you hate to bath, Ruby," she said.
"W-well, I don't l-like the way y-you bath m-me, sis..." She stutter while her body shake in cold. Yang chuckle, Weiss and Blake giggle. Ruby pout while the Fauna ruffle her fur.
"And that is why you shouldn't put two Alpha Beowolves at a same place..." Ruby nod on the heiress' explanations. Both of them are working on the white girl's 3rd year assignments. For moments ago, they've finished half of them. Lucky for Ruby, her assignments aren't too hard for her to understand. Suddenly, Yang appear behind her, "Hey there, sis! Want to hang out?!"
"She would if you help her..." Weiss glare at the blonde but she ignore it. She sit next to Ruby and take a look of her assignment. Her little sister need to write about the competition between Grimm's. Then, she feel someone play with her hair. It was Ruby, "Why do you cut your hair, Yang?"
The blonde startled with the question. She stutter, "Uh...well, I-I cut it out of depression 2 years ago... So, uh..." Weiss look at her with a concern look. She try to say that she shouldn't continue. But then Ruby said, "Hmm, but you look cute with short hair..." Yang blushes.
"R-really...?" The white girl nod and give her a grin. Yang plays with her long, pure white hair. Suddenly, they heard a snap from the heiress. She just break a pencil while she grit her teeth. Yang chuckle, "What's wrong, princess? Jealous~?"
"W-why should I? T-there's no reason for me to j-jealous!" She huff and look away. Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. Ruby said, "You changed your hairstyle huh? I love twin tails!" The heiress look at the white girl with a bright smile. This time, Yang feel the competition grow. Both the blonde and the heiress glare at each other. Ruby could feel the tense build between them. She take her homework away from them and bring them to Blake.
Blake glance at her team mate and sigh. Looks like it's another cat fight, she thought. Ruby asks the Fauna to guide her with her assignments. She's more than glad to teach the girl everything she know. While Yang and Weiss fighting, both of them busied themselves to finish the 3rd year assignments.
It took them an hour or two to finish it all. Ruby release a sigh of relief. Blake shook her head. Yang and Weiss have stop their fight. The heiress point at a pile of books and papers on the table, "You still have the 4th year to finish, Ruby..." The white girl groan. "Why don't we stop here for today?" The Fauna suggest. Ruby squeal a yay.
"Well, I'm going to take her for a walk! You guys wanna come?!" Both of her team mates nod. Ruby turn into her medium Grimm. She nuzzle herself to the blonde's leg, causing her to shiver. They put on their shoes and head to the academy's garden.
The morning breeze brushes through her fur. It's been a long time since they ever relax like now. Yang roll herself on her back. Blake read her book as always and Weiss play with her fur. Ruby lie down while her friends relaxing on her. Suddenly, they heard someone call them, "Hey, can we join in?!"
Team JNPR run towards them but Nora's the one who's excited. "Ooooh, we rarely hang out so we thought we can at least have a lazy day with you guys!" Pyrrha and Ren join in. Jaune tries to catch his breath. Nora jump onto her back and join Yang on rolling on her soft white fur. Ren take out his small book and read next to Blake. Pyrrha and Jaune relax themselves next to Weiss.
Silence took over between them all. Yang begin to caress her fur. She's curious of one thing, "Ruby, can you tell us how do you survive from that explosion?" Ruby look up at her sister. She take a deep breath and let it go. She begin her story.
"After I shot the ceiling, I was swallowed by the dragon Grimm but I manage to escape by rip open it's stomach. Even so, it manage to regenerate. The only thing I could think of was to lunge myself to it. Suddenly, it created an eruption and blew up the church. I manage to turn myself into my Grimm and escape from the fallen building. I heard your scream but I quickly ran away. After I know that I'm far enough, I found a small pond and look into it. I found out my skin and hair turned pure white and my hair grew longer. My eyes turned from silver to crimson. For 2 years I hunted down the Grimm... I don't want to end my hunt like that..."
"But why won't you return, Ruby? Maybe we can help you find it..." Yang say in comfort. She begin to stroke her fur. Everyone patiently hear her story. She continue, "I don't want either of you get hurt. I don't want the Grimm hurt you guys..." She lower her head slightly. The blonde ruffle her fur.
"It doesn't matter. Now that you return, we will defeat the Grimm together like old times!" Yang said. The others nod in agreement. The Grimm smiles. She pick up Nora and Yang and put them down. She slowly turn into human. She turn around and give them a huge grin. It's the only thing that shows them she's alright.
A/N : So I think some of you won't understand how does Ruby change in appearance. In this AU, Ruby's Grimm genetics undergoing evolution after she was swallowed by the dragon Grimm. Though the Grimm is black in color, it gave her the opposite; white. Just like Yin and Yang. She gained the ability to breathe fire and fire resistance. Her eyes turn red as Grimm's eyes mainly crimson in color so it affected her human eyes. She wore a red corset and white cloak, inspired by the ghostly figure at the altar of the opening.
