I got to thank "The DarkEnd Dragon" for giving me this idea for the chapter. Thanks a lot!


Yang walked into the dorm room and passed the package to Weiss.

"Thank you." Weiss said, "Your image is safe for now."

"Not now, Weiss." Yang took of Ryan's coat and it was revealed that her red shirt was torn revealing her bra.

"Yang…" Ruby's eyes widened, "What happened out there?"

"My crazy Ex-boyfriend. That's what." Yang retrieved her nightwear, "He jumped me while Ryan went into the post office. He dragged me into an alley and tried to rape me."

Ruby jumped down off of her bed and ran up to Yang to give her a hug.

"I'm okay, Ruby." Yang hugged her back, "Ryan was able to find me in time."

"How is he taking it?" Blake asked.

Yang looked at Weiss, "You better show him what we got for you."

"No!" Weiss protested, "Why should I!?"

"Because right now, he blames you for what happened." Yang explained.

"I didn't sic your boyfriend on you!" Weiss defended herself.

"I know that." Yang said, "But if you show Ryan what you got, he might calm down."

"She has a point." Blake spoke up.

"No! I said no one will see what's in this package except me!" Weiss protested again.

"He might be after you until you do." Yang warned.

"I don't care." Weiss told her.

Yang just shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you sure you're okay, Yang?" Ruby asked.

"Don't worry little sis." Yang smiled, "Now let's get some sleep."


(The Darkness)

The Darkness had entered Ryan's mind once again. It had brought him back to that alley from earlier in the same situation. But the only thing that was different was that it was the Darkness in a humanoid form that was attacking Yang this time. Ryan ran towards the Darkness and shoved it away from Yang.

"Why are you here!?" Ryan yelled.

This is my domain. You are nothing but a puppet.

"No! I am my own person and I am not going to let you hurt her!" Ryan yelled.

Then try to stop me, foolish human!

Ryan charged after the Darkness and threw a few punches. The Darkness just moved out of the way and pinned Ryan to the wall.

You are nothing. You can never defeat the Darkness!

"Shut up!" Ryan yelled.

Ryan freed his right hand and drove it through the creature's chest. He felt relieved that he was able to get the Darkness away from Yang, but the Darkness was able to trick him within this nightmare. Ryan looked up and saw that instead of the Darkness, his hand went through Yang's heart.

"Ryan…" Tears fell down Yang's eyes, "Why?"

Yang's body disappeared in a black smoke. Ryan started crying as he stared at his blood covered fist.

"Raagh!" Ryan threw his fist around in the shadows, "What did you make me do!?"

A gunshot was heard and Ryan felt pain shooting in his arm. He looked in the direction where he heard the shot and saw Ruby pointing Crescent Rose at him.

"You killed her!" Ruby fired again.

The bullet hit him in the leg and Ryan was forced to kneel.

"Ruby, it wasn't me! It was the Darkness!"

"Lair!" Ruby shifted Crescent Rose to its scythe form and went to attack.

Ryan was still able to roll out of the way despite his injuries. Ryan stood up and was quickly attacked again. A blade shot out and cut vertically down his right eye. The blade returned to its owner, Blake.

"She thought the whole world of you and you turned your back on her!" Blake yelled out.

"It wasn't me!" Ryan cried. Blood ran down from the cut and blinded his right eye, "It wasn't me!"

Ryan's legs were incased in ice and he couldn't move. Weiss walked up in front of him with Myrtenaster drawn.

"I was wrong about you." She plunged her blade into Ryan's stomach, "You are exactly like your father!"

Ryan continued crying, "I couldn't have killed Yang…. I love her."

"You… You loved her?" Ruby walked up to him, "You loved her?" She punched Ryan in the cheek, "You loved her!? And you still killed her!?"

Ruby began pounding Ryan's face in fury. The ice on his legs broke and he fell down. Ruby didn't miss a beat and she continued to punch Ryan on the ground.

"That." Punch, "Was." Punch, "My." Punch, "Sister!" Ruby punched Ryan one last time.

Ryan's face was covered in tears and blood as his former friends looked down on him.

"I don't care anymore." Ryan said, "Kill me and you will kill the Darkness."

Ruby took her scythe and raised it above her head.

No! The host will not die!

The Darkness summoned sharp trendils from Ryan's body and impaled the girls, killing them. The Darkness freed Ryan's legs from the ice and he crawled towards his friends. He laid down flat on the floor and cried more.

"Why?" Ryan cried, "Why are you doing this to me?"

"It's because you are weak." A familiar voice said.

Ryan looked behind him and saw Jackie looking down at him.

"You let your emotions run wild and now the Darkness has a good grip on you." Jackie took out his guns and loaded them, "You couldn't control the Darkness and now your friends lie dead by your hands."

Ryan still cried as he sat on the ground. Then a new idea popped into his head and he grew angry.

"You!" Ryan stood up, "You have the Darkness and yet you did nothing to get it away from me!" His eyes glowed bright yellow, "You sent me to Beacon to get help, instead all it got me was my friends killed!" Ryan summoned his katana, "You did this to me! I will kill you if it's the last thing I do!"

Yeeesss.


Yang woke up in the middle of the night. She could not explain it, but she felt like something was wrong. Her heart felt heavy for some reason. She got out of bed and went into the bathroom for a drink of water. As she drank out of the glass, she could hear some weird sounds coming from Ryan's room next door. Yang was curious and decided to check on him, thinking it was another nightmare. She left her room and went next door. Yang opened the door and walked inside to see a massive black aura surrounding Ryan. Yang slowly stepped towards Ryan and two Darkness snakes appeared in front of her. Yang grew angry at the new intruders.

"Leave my friend alone!" Yang went to punch the snakes.

One snake wrapped around her wrist and stopped her. Yang activated her semblance and the light scared away the snakes. Yang moved quickly and jabbed the snakes away. She then ran towards Ryan and tried to wake him up.

"Ryan! Get up!" Yang shook him.

The light coming from her semblance grew and it banished the dark aura in the room. Yang continued shaking Ryan to wake him. He opened his eyes and saw Yang looking at him.

"Good. There are these things…." Yang looked around the room and saw that the aura was gone for herself, "Huh… they're gone." Yang smiled, "I'm glad that you are okay now."

Ryan stared at her and gently held her cheek with his hand.

"Are you okay, Ryan?" Yang asked.

Ryan stared at her more, "Yang!" He wrapped his arms around and started sobbing, "I'm sorry! *sob* I'm sorry."

Yang patted his back, "It's okay… It's okay."

"I don't want it." Ryan told her, "I don't want the Darkness anymore."

"Darkness? What are you talking about?" Yang grew worried with his constant sobbing.

"I don't want to hurt you." Ryan kept sobbing on her shoulder, "Not you, not Ruby, not Blake, not even Weiss." He held Yang tighter, "I will gladly give everything up for you girls."

Yang held him tighter as she gently rubbed his back. She couldn't help but to cry herself. She had never had anyone willing to change for her.


The next morning, Ruby and the others woke up to see that Yang was not in her bed.

"Where did that blonde mess go to now?" Weiss asked.

Ruby shrugged her shoulders.

Blake got up from her bed, "Let's get Ryan up and he can help."

The girls went next door and Blake opened the door to let her team inside. In the room they found Ryan sleeping in his bed, but Yang was also in bed with him.

"What happened in here?" Ruby asked.

Weiss took her scroll out, "Another golden opportunity."

"Wait a minute." Blake went closer to the bed and inspected the two closer, "They were crying recently."

"Crying?" Ruby went to her sister's side.

"Maybe Ryan had another nightmare and Yang went to check on him." Blake said, "Whatever happened, it upset the both of them."

Weiss looked at her scroll and thought for a while. She closed it up and put it away.

"You're not going to blackmail them again?" Ruby asked.

"No." Weiss answered, "Let's just leave them alone. They will tell us what happened if they want to."

Blake and Ruby agreed with her and they back into their room to get ready for the day.


The morning went on and Ryan slowly started to wake up. His eyes opened and he saw Yang sleeping next to him with her arms around him. She had a little smile on her face as she slept.

'I don't understand this. Whenever Yang is around me, the Darkness seems to leave me alone.' Ryan thought, 'She has done a lot more than what any other girl I have met before. Is it true what I said in that nightmare? Do I love her?'

Ryan looked at Yang, 'Should I even do this?' He leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.

Yang stirred a bit and opened her eyes with a smile.

"Yang…" Ryan blushed.

"Morning." Yang hugged him, "How are you doing now?"

"A lot better." Ryan answered her, "You didn't have to stay with me all night."

"I felt like I had to." Yang told him, "I couldn't just leave you alone, knowing how upset you were."

Ryan smiled, "Thank you, Yang. You don't know how much I appreciate this."

"You're welcome." Yang smiled back, "Let's go out and get some breakfast."

"Okay." Ryan nodded.

The two of them sat up on the bed, "And Ryan?"

"Yes, Yang?" Ryan looked at her.

Yang put her locked her arms behind his neck, "My lips are right here."

She pulled herself closer and she kissed him on the lips. Ryan slowly kissed her back, sort of surprised that she allowed him to kiss her. Fifteen seconds later, they broke the kiss and stared at each other's eyes.

"Not bad." Yang grinned.

Ryan suddenly jumped on Yang and started kissing her much more passionately. Yang followed suit and kissed him back the same way. Ryan gently ran his fingers through her hair as he sucked on Yang's lips. Yang rubbed Ryan's back and his arms as she pushed her tongue in. They went like this for a minute; then they had to break up their kiss to breathe.

"Wow!" Yang looked at Ryan shocked, "Who knew you could be so wild?"

"I'm sorry. Something came over me and…" Ryan trailed on.

"It's not a bad thing, Ryan." Yang told him.

"I guess…. I guess I love you." Ryan told her.

Yang gave him a quick peck on the lips, "Come on, let's get the day going."

Ryan pushed himself off of Yang and they finally got out of the bed. Yang went next door to put on her uniform while Ryan went into his closet to get his uniform. Yang came back to find Ryan was still lazily putting his clothes on.

"Oh, come on." Yang went over and started buttoning up his shirt.

"You know how much I hate this thing." Ryan said.

"What's wrong with it?" Yang started with his tie now, "I think it makes you look very handsome."

"You're just saying that." Ryan looked down.

"I mean it." Yang finished with his tie, "There, all done." She took him by the hand, "Let's go before breakfast time is over."


They walked into the cafeteria laughing and giggling as they tried walking while holding each other in a hug. They got a plate with pancakes and bacon and they went to sit with their team.

"Took you long enough to get here, sis." Ruby spoke up when the two sat down.

"Sorry, Ruby." Yang giggled, "We just had an interesting morning."

"I'll bet." Blake said from behind her book.

"What happened?" Ruby asked.

"A confession." Yang answered.

Ruby looked at her sister confused while Weiss looked shocked and Blake peeked over from her book.

"I told Yang that I love her." Ryan admitted.

Ruby smiled brightly hearing this.

"Yang has something special in her." Ryan spoke, "Whenever I'm around her, she seems to push away a dark secret that I have tried to keep buried." Yang gently squeezed his hand, "And I enjoy her company."

Yang looked at the rest of the team, "And I found out that he is an awesome kisser."

Blake dropped her book, Weiss spit out the orange juice she was drinking, and Ruby stuck out her tongue.

"Yang! EWW!" Ruby fussed.

Ryan had a small blush on his cheeks. Yang just smiled and laid her head on his shoulder.


The day continued normally with classes. Ryan and Yang always sat together in the classroom. As the teachers lectured about the lessons, Ryan and Yang would spend their time holding each other's hands under the table or playing footsies. They were in study hall now and Yang was with the rest of the girls while Ryan was gone to fetch the books that Weiss asked for.

"I think Ryan has something." Yang said out of the blue.

"What are you talking about?" Blake asked.

"Well… Remember that he gets those nightmares every night?" Yang pointed out, "The first night I grabbed him in bed, he didn't wake up screaming did he?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"And this morning he didn't wake up screaming." Yang told them.

"Where are you going with this, Yang?" Weiss asked.

Yang nodded with a smile, "I'm going to start sleeping with him."

"WHAT!?" The girls yelled out.

"Do you realize what you just said!?" Weiss asked in shock.

"Oh, come on. You know how much those nightmares bother him. And he has had two peaceful nights with me. That can't be a coincidence." Yang pointed out.

"I think she is right." Blake said.

Weiss groaned, "As much as I want to argue with you… I see your point."

Yang smiled.

"But!" Weiss held a finger up, "Just know that you are on your own when the teachers find out."


Night had fallen and it was time for the students to get ready for bed. Yang decided to make her move. She took her night attire and went next door to Ryan's room. She knocked on the door and waited for Ryan to answer. He opened the door and Yang just walked right in.

"Surprise!" She closed the door, "I'm going to stay with you for now on!"

"What?" Ryan turned red, "What are you talking about?"

"I found out that you don't get nightmares with me around." Yang set her pajamas on the bed, "So I'm here to make sure that you always get a good night's sleep."

"B-b-but what about all those talks about people sleeping together? I'm sure the teachers wouldn't like it if they found us like that. And I'm sure as hell that Jackie would flip out on me once he finds out!" Ryan rambled.

"Ryan." Yang held her hand up to stop him, "We are just sleeping together. We are not having sex."

"Ahh!" Ryan ran his fingers though his hair, "Did you have to say that word?"

Yang just shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you really serious about doing this?" Ryan asked.

"Of course I am." Yang told him, "I care about you. I want to help."

Ryan gave up and nodded, "Alright."

Yang looked at him funny, "Why do you sleep in your underwear anyway?"

Ryan looked away, "I just don't have any pajamas. I also keep my body cooler this way too."

Yang thinks for a while and gets an idea in her head. "Alright."

She took her shirt off and revealed her bright yellow lace bra. She threw her shirt on the floor.

"Whoa!" Ryan covered his eyes, "Couldn't you change in the bathroom?"

"Why? I'm getting in my underwear too." Yang took her skirt off and revealed her matching yellow lace panties, "I think I should be fair and sleep like this since you have no pajamas." She kicked her shoes off.

"Everyone is totally going to get the wrong idea if they see us like this!" Ryan continued protesting, but deep down he didn't mind.

"The door is locked, Ryan." Yang walked up to him and held him close, "No one will know but us."

"B-b-but… B-b-b-but…" Ryan stammered.

"Ryan…" Yang threw him on the bed and she jumped in after him, "Shut up and go to bed." She wrapped her arms around his body.

Ryan looked down, "You sleep with your socks on?"

Yang put her leg on him, "Do you want to take them off?" She wiggled her toes in the sock.

Ryan groaned and started to slowly tug her long socks off.

"You do know how sexy this looks, right?" Yang teased.

Ryan stopped and turned his body away from Yang.

"I'm kidding." Yang giggled.

She took her socks off and dropped them on the floor. She turned her body so she pressed her chest up against Ryan's back. She draped her arm across his stomach and sneaked a kiss on his cheek.

"Good night, Ryan." She kissed him again.

Ryan turned around and kissed Yang on her lips, "I love you, Yang."


Okay, sort of longer than normal, but I hope you liked the chapter. Did I do okay with this little romance bit?

I'm going to be gone for a while on a trip now. (I'm positive this time) So I won't be able to update for quite a while. But hopefully I can still answer any questions or suggestions you send through a PM.

Bye for now!
