RWBY Summer Rose AU

(A/N: I own nothing and what if when Summer died Ruby was there? But…Summer's soul didn't really die her body did…it was Ruby who's soul died…something happened to Summer and now her soul inhabits her daughters lifeless body. Now…Well things are changed. AU OOC some bashing some femslash maybe)

Ruby Rose sighed as she listened to her music in the back of a Dust Shop. Well that's not quite right, Summer Rose in her daughter Ruby's body sighed as she listened to some music in the back of a Dust Shop she helped start called From Dust Till Dawn with the cloak she made for her daughters first birthday draped around her.

The cape was her way of remembering her daughter…and the fact that she was in said daughters body. She didn't know how it happened. One day she was playing with her two daughters in their backyard when they were attacked by Grimm. She had yelled for Yang to run back to the house with Ruby and get Taiyang while she held them off. Yang took off back to the house but Ruby, who had just learned how to walk, only made it a few steps away from the monsters before one of them seemed to slice right through her.

Summer had screamed and began obliterating the monsters, but took some major damage to her body. She knew she wouldn't survive the night…but she made it back over to Ruby's side and saw her daughter not bleeding or harmed except for a strange black claw mark tattoo like scar over her heart where the Grimm had struck her…her daughter was obviously dead but there was no blood. It was as if her soul had just been sliced by the Grimm instead of her body.

Summer remembered laying down beside her daughters body, holding her close and sobbing as darkness claimed her…she woke up two days later much to her shock…to her even greater shock was that she was in her daughters body. She had no clue what had happened but had theorized that since Ruby's soul was gone but her body was still there Summer's soul went into the body since hers could no longer sustain her.

It was hard for her to not only be in her daughters body, but to also watch as her family grieved her instead of Ruby who was the truly dead one, of course they didn't know that. What was she supposed to say 'Sorry but I'm still alive and in Ruby's body since her soul died but her body didn't?' Yeah….that would NOT go over well.

Summer watched mournfully from Ruby's perspective as Yang, Qrow, and Tai mourned her in their own ways as well. Summer was depressed herself for four years. Many just thought that Ruby was missing and mourning her mother…actually it was Summer mourning her deceased daughter who never got a chance to truly live and mourning the fact that her husband, 'brother', and step-daughter didn't even know that Ruby was gone.

It took Yang nearly dying for Summer to snap out of it and get her act together again. After Yang's near death when Ruby would have been six, Ruby began acting motherly and re-learning how to fight. Well…more like Summer was conditioning her daughters body to fight with a scythe like she had, only she used the current technology available to make the scythe twice as good as her old one was.

Come on who didn't like a Scythe mixed with a high powered Sniper Rifle? That was pure awesome right there!

Everyone had been amazed at how well the then seven year old was using a scythe that she made herself with obvious experience…and that the scythe was three times her size back then. Of course it took about two years for Ruby's body to be conditioned enough for Summer to use the large and heavy scythe with any of her previous skills, not that Summer minded. She couldn't help protect her family if her current body wasn't up to par. Besides it wasn't that hard for everyone to believe that Ruby was a prodigy given how both of her parents were expert huntsmen.

Summer herself had been considered a prodigy amongst her generation alongside her teammates, she just hoped that she would get on a team that wouldn't be too far below her standards. She didn't want to have to deal with arrogant brats who didn't train as much as they should and have subpar skills. She had enough of that with that arrogant team of bullies lead by that Winchester boy who tried courting her back when she was at Beacon in her original body. They weren't much of a challenge, she kicked all of their butts by herself in less than two minutes. It was fun watching their faces change colors in their rage and embarrassment though.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder Summer turned around, her hood falling down and revealing the headphones blaring music in her ears as she looked at a guy wearing a suit, hat, and sunglasses even though it was dark outside. Summer lowered her headphones and switched off the music at the man's prompting.

"Yes?" Summer asked politely in her daughters voice as she looked at the much taller man and cursed her natural shortness while thanking the fact that she didn't go anywhere without her scythe.

"Put your hands up and give me all your money." The thug said causing Summer to blink.

"Are you robbing me?" She asked amused and causing the man to nod with a curt yes.

"Oohh." Summer felt an unholy smirk, one that used to have her teammates and other students running for cover if she ever used it back when she was at Beacon, lighting up her face and actually making the man take a step back.

This was going to be fun. The poor poor fool had no clue just who he was messing with!

She'll teach him though. It's a bad idea for a common thug to try and rob an experienced huntress, whether she was in a younger and not as well known or conditioned body or not!
