Chapter 12
Ruby grabbed his jaw and pinned him to the ground but he open his mouth and shoot fire from it. She quickly let go and almost get clawed by his acidic claws. She attempted to breath fire but the black Grimm was fast for his size. She need to delay a bit longer for her to attack Leviathan. The Grimm whipped his tail to her but she manage to grab it, spin him to the air. She leap from the ground and kick him to the ground, created a tremor.
The white Grimm breathed fire and aimed at the black Grimm but he dodged. Leviathan bit her neck, releasing a loud roar. Yang was about to jump in but Professor Ozpin reluctant her. The blonde couldn't help but watch, hoping that her sister will be okay. She doesn't want to lose her again. Ruby punched the dragon and flipped him forward. She managed to claw his back. The black Grimm quickly gets up and leaped across her.
Unexpectedly, he shoot fireballs to her friends. The white Grimm quickly shielded them. Although she might be resistance to fire, she couldn't endure so much fiery inferno on her body. The black Grimm immediately leave the courtyard. The white Grimm collapsed onto the ground. "RUBY!" Yang yelled and run to her sister. She jumped onto her back and cut it open with Crescent Rosé. She quickly pulled her out. Ruby's eyes filled with rage and suddenly released a roar even though she's in her human form.
From the Emerald Forest, another roar which perhaps from Leviathan was heard. Suddenly, part of the forest were ignited in fiery inferno. Ruby slowly loses her strength and consciousness. She collapsed onto Yang's shoulder. The blonde slowly pull her out from her Grimm body. The forest are burn in black fire. They knew that the Grimm targeted them as his new enemy. Professor Ozpin and Ms. Glynda approach Yang, "You have to bring her in. Give her some rest..." The man said. The blonde nodded. She pick her sister up in bridal style. The others slowly follow her while glancing at the forest.
Yang set her sister down onto her bed. She gently caressed her sister's hair. She's glad that she's alright but as she saw the bite mark on her neck, she couldn't describe her worries. Her eyes focused on her grey mask. She's curious what's her sister hide beyond it. "I keep wondering why she didn't took off her mask..."Pyrrha said. Yang attempted to open it slowly but a crimson eye suddenly watch her. She jumped off her bed and shrieked, so did the others.
Ruby hold her head like she's having a serious migraine. She look at her friends in a puzzled look and said, "What's wrong with you guys?" Yang quickly shook her head and sit at the edge of her bed. She couldn't help but ask, "Ruby, what's behind your mask?" The white girl froze on her spot. Her face stiffened. She look down to her hands. She didn't know whether to show them or not. "It doesn't matter how you look, Ruby. Can you at least show us?" Weiss said in a soothing voice. The white girl look at her friends. She slowly put her hand onto her mask and open it. After she opened it, her friends gasped in horror.
There are three large, black scars across her face. Her eye seems not working. "Now you know why they call me Half-face Reaper..." The white girl look at them in fear. She immediately look away. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her face and turn to face her sister, Yang. The blonde gave her a sweet smile, "Don't be scare, Ruby. There's nothing to be hiding..." She said in a soothing voice. The white girl begin to feel joy, "R-really? You won't ditch me...?"
"Why would we ditch you?! We're your friends, Ruby! Friends don't ditch their friends!" Weiss said. Ruby begin to tear up. Tears of joy flow down her cheeks. Yang pulled her into a hug. Weiss and Blake joined in and so did team JNPR. Ruby started to choke, "Guys...I can't...breathe..." They quickly let go off their friend. The white girl gave them a large grin.
Tonight Yang would be sleeping with Ruby. They'll take turns where would she sleep every night and they agreed. Weiss, Blake and Ruby already drowned into slumber. Yang was organizing her sister's clothes and items. As soon as she finished, she head to her bed but she didn't feel to sleep. She look at the peaceful face of her little sister. She couldn't help but feel sad as she caressed her scars. Her actions caused Ruby to whimper. She immediately pull her hand away.
The white girl's hand move and tried to grasp something. She caught the blonde's arm and hugged it tightly. Yang try to pry away but she gripped it tighter. She had no choice but to let her. She caressed her scars again. This time, her sister muttered, "Yang..." Her heart melt as she uttered her name in her usual soft voice. She gently caress her scars, hoping that she won't hurt her. She murmured to her sister, "Shhh, I'm here, Ruby. Don't worry..."
The blonde planted a kiss onto her scars. The white girl smiled in her sleep and nuzzled herself into her sister's bosom. Yang smile and pull her into a tight embrace. She could hear her soft snore. She muttered, "Goodnight, baby sis..." And slowly drift herself into slumber.
