The White Healer Ch. 14.
Yang ran up and wrapped her sister in a huge bear hug. Yang was so happy, that tears flowed freely from her eyes.
"Can't breathe," Ruby finally gasped. Yang eased off of the hug, and heard her sister breathe in a huge gasp of air. Yang kept crying, and Ruby just hugged her back. "Did what I think happen, happen?" Yang nodded violently so her sister could feel the movement. "Then why are the others standing behind you?"
"I'm going to apologize Yang," came the White Healer's voice. "But I must explain to her the situation, so I may suggest letting her go. Ms. Schnee also seems quite eager to great her." Yang let go, and Weiss immediately took her place.
"Weiss," Ruby whispered into her ears.
"I know," Weiss replied. "You don't have to say anything right now."
"Now," the White Healer started again. "Please let go Ms. Schnee, for now of course, and allow me to explain." Weiss nodded, and backed off of Ruby. "Ms. Rose, please let me explain the fairly unique situation that you've been put in. As you are aware, everyone from JNPR and everyone besides your sister from RWBY died, including yourself. I am the brother of the man that is responsible for this, and I go by the White Healer. I was given the ability to reverse what my brother had done, and I took full advantage of this. I unfortunately had to wait for him to die before I could do anything as drastic as bring someone back from the dead, and your sister killed my brother shortly after your demise. I have been working to bring everyone back, and you were the last one."
"No more bunking," Jaune said gratefully.
"Unfortunately, tonight you will have to bunk. I will be on my way now. I expect to see you in the morning." The White Healer turned and left. Yang and Weiss both jumped onto Ruby as soon as he was gone.
"Come on baby sister," Yang said. "We'll get your bunk sorted out."
The White Healer's Perch
He climbed up into his perch, and he smiled happily. His journey was finally at a close, and he could stop living in secret. He closed his eyes, and waited for morning to arrive.
Team RWBY's Dorm
Ruby walked in, and saw the mess that was the living situation. Jaune and Pyrrha were lying in what was Blake's bed. Blake and Yang were sharing a bed. Ren and Nora were sharing a bed. Weiss just looked at Ruby happily.
"You can bunk with me," Weiss said. Ruby shrugged, and climbed on top of her bed. Weiss climbed up with her, and Ruby curled up in her arms.
"Life without you was hard," Ruby said quietly. "We both were devastated by losing you and Blake." Weiss pulled Ruby closer to her.
"Don't think about that," Weiss whispered into Ruby's ear. "I'm here now and you won't ever have to worry about losing me again." Ruby smiled, and closed her eyes. Weiss followed shortly after and the two were sleeping soundly. Yang watched her baby sister with nothing but tears in her eyes. The goal that she strove towards had finally been realized. She felt Blake creep up behind her, and Yang immediately hugged her. Blake eventually hugged back, and she soon felt tears from Yang's eyes that fell onto her shoulder.
"You did it Yang," Blake said quietly. "You got us all back."
"Blake," Yang said softly. "When I lost you, I felt hurt beyond the point that I could of have thought possible. I just want to ask you something."
"Yes. The answer is yes, Yang. We should get some sleep. It seems pointless to stay awake right now." Yang nodded, and they both crawled on top of their shared bunk.
The White Healer's Perch: Morning
Teams RWBY and JNPR walked up to the White Healer's perch, and waited for him. He quickly hopped down, and greeted them warmly.
"It's good to finally see the two teams in full," he said. "We are almost at a close with our process."
"What do you mean 'almost'?" Blake asked. "I thought this was the end of our deal."
"Ms. Xiao Long came very close to ending it when she grabbed eight crystals, but I still need a few more to officially call our dealings done with."
"We did what you asked," Pyrrha said angrily.
"Not quite. Care to elaborate Ms. Xiao Long?" Yang nodded very slowly.
"When he first started this," she began. "The Masked Killer killed his wife and son. He tried to bring them back, and that's what forced to wear the mask. He has been searching for someone to kill his brother for three years, and he saw the answer with us. Now, I guess we need a few more crystals to bring them back. But I'm not stealing anymore. I'm going to inform Ozpin of what is going on."
"I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that Ms. Xiao Long. I can't risk that he would misunderstand what I'm hoping to accomplish. It wouldn't be the first time."
"I'm letting Ozpin know," Blake said as she took a step forward.
"I don't recommend that Ms. Belladonna. Yang, please. I don't want to bring it to this point." Yang just walked up to Blake, and started to move forward with her. "I'm sorry it's had to come to this petty threat." He calmly raised his staff in the air, and pointed in the direction of the two teams. "If you take one more step forward, I'll send one of you back to the afterlife." This got them to stop. "The crystal on top of my staff works in a peculiar way. I can absorb any source of power, and repurpose it to amplify my aura. It was a gift from my wife before she died. It also amplifies my semblance. However, I told you that it could absorb any source of energy, and that includes the one that's keeping you seven alive right now."
"You wouldn't," Yang said.
"If it meant not losing the guarantee that I will get my wife and son back, then I would do it. I'm only a few crystals short, and I know that you eight could get what I need easily. Yang, I know that your student pension is coming in soon. You can buy the crystals legally. Please, I know that all of you know how it feels to lose someone close to you, and how it must feel to know that you are on the brink of bringing them back. Please, just get the crystals and I'll go to them. They're buried nearby. After I get them back, you can tell whomever you chose too." Yang looked at him for a long time. She understood why he acted the way that he did, and she couldn't blame him for feeling angry. At the same time, she couldn't risk the lives of her friends.
"I'll go get the pension," she said. "And I'll get the crystals for you."
"Thank you Yang. Please understand, that I never wanted it to come to this." Yang nodded, and left to go towards Ozpin's office. "Where are you going Yang?"
"To get my pension. I have to get it from Ozpin's office." He nodded, and reentered his perch. The rest of the two teams returned to the dorm.
The plan was being formulated. It was something that needed to be done, and it was time to do it.
