Roman managed to get Sun to back off by knocking his weopon out of his hand. He went to get it and that was the moment when Roman aimed at his head. I quickly dashed over and gave Roman a swift kick in the gut and he fell over. I then held him by his collor a burning rage in my eyes. "For Ruby.." I said .
Blake saw what I was about to do. With the force of my punch using my full strength I could kill him and that was exactly what I planned. "Yang stop!" She yelled to me. I ignored her and pulled my fist back to deliver the blow. Romans smug look was replaced by one of fear now. He never encounted me before Beacon so he had greatly underestimated me. "W..wait.." He said. "If you kill me youll go to jail and never be able to be with your sister. Im sure shed be heartbroken.."
I heard what he said and pulled back. Was I hesisting? Maybe I was. I hated to admit it but Roman had a point. I would be forced to face the harsh reality of not seeing Ruby ever again and I couldnt bare that seperation. Sighing I let him go.
"Run along then. But next time I see your sniveling face I will make sure you dont live another day." He ran off but not before firing a shot that was quickly deflected by Blake as she had walked over to me. Sun rejoined us and seeing Roman bolt he shrugged. "That guy didnt seem so tought."
I fell to my knees my adrenaline rush over. "Sorry I lost it.." Blake kneeled down and put a arm around me. "Its alright. You were just thinking of Rubys well being."
Sun gave me a look of consern. "Sun Im alright. I just lost control of my emotions. And if I had killed Roman I would have had to be taken away from my sister."
"He was trying to scare you.." Sun said. "Im sure if you explained they would let you off." Then he realized what he said. "On second though yes that is one possibiliy.."
I let Blake help me up. "Lets head back. Maybe youll feel better once you get some rest." She said gently and I simply nodded leaning into her as she supported me. "Sun what will you do now?"
He looked at me. "Well I am a fugative on the run from the cops. So Ill be around." He said. "You girls take care now.." He said winking at us both as he went off. I ignored the winking but smiled. Sun really was nice despite what Weiss thought.
Blake watched Sun go off.."Take care." He answered with a distanced wave. Then Blake and I began the treck back to Beacon. I was looking forward to some rest as I was exhausted tho I also cursed mentally for letting Roman get away...

Weiss was thinking of what to say. She felt a bit nervous as she really didnt talk to Ruby much other then on rare occasions when she was actually in the mood to.
Ruby turned to her. "So what did you want to talk about. We probably have sometime before Sis and Blake get back." She said looking at the clock. "Wow it has been like a few hours and they still havent returned." Ruby didnt want to admit it but she was getting worried.
"I actually wanted to talk about us Ruby. I mean ..." Weiss mentally scholded herself. Talking about them would make what she really wanted to say too obvious and she really didnt know how her partner would react.
"Us?" Ruby repeated. "What is there to tell. Were all on the same team and all of us have different weopons and partners. Not like anything interesting tho I could tell you some of Yangs dark secreats or something." She said with a playful grin.
"As much as that would be very interesting I didnt mean Blake and Yang. I ment me and you. Ive noticed we get along quite well. This was back in the Emerald Forest when we were attacked and I helped you."
"I remember that. You saved my life from that scorpion. That wasnt like you by the way.." Ruby replied remembering that trial in the forest. "But at the same time you abandoned me.." She deadpanned a bit.
"Like I said you proved to me to be someone I would probably not want as a partner. To be honest I really wanted to pair up with Pyrrah or someone. Tho im sorry I didnt make any efforts to accept you.."
Ruby seemed a bit hurt by Weisses confession. "You didnt want to accept me. Why did you. You could have just asked Ozpin to switch.."
Weiss cut her off with a movement of her hand. "No I would never do that Ruby. As much as I wanted to I saw more in you. Your someone I could never become. Thats why...Ruby..."
"Weiss your a nice person when you can be. Im actually thankful you protected me otherwise I probably would.." Ruby said.
"Dont even say that. I would never allow it. Because .." Weiss paused.
"Because?" Ruby enquired nervously. ..
