I do not own RWBY or the characters
"What are you doing," Ruby asked Neptune as he stared at her. It was slightly creepy. Sun burst out laughing.
"I'm looking for anything that says your dangerous," Neptune said. Ruby glanced over at Sun with a frown.
"What have you been telling him," she asked his partner. All three teams plus Sun and Neptune were sitting on the sidelines of the arena watching Blake fight Pyrrha. Both were doing well although Pyrrha was winning due to her polarity.
"Only that your a deadly little reaper," Sun said catching her off guard. She tilted her head back to look at Cardin who was sitting behind them.
"Have you been telling people that," she accused causing him to smirk.
"I don't have to," he said, "your fighting abilities say it all."
"I still don't see it," Neptune said and Weiss gave a very unlady like scoff.
"Wait till you see her fight," the heiress said. Ruby smiled. It was good to see the girl opening up.
"It looks like you'll get your chance too," Ren said pointing out the match displayed next. Ruby felt her eyes widen as she would be fighting Yang.
"You okay," Jaune asked as Pyrrha and Blake finished their fight.
"Yes," Ruby said standing. She didn't look at her sister as she walked down to the arena. Mercury opened his eyes slightly from where he'd been sleeping when Emerald drove her elbow into his side.
"What," he asked looking over at the green haired and red eyed girl.
"She's nervous," Emerald said nodding to the girl, "you said that she was totally confident when you two fought."
"She was," he confirmed and looked down at the two girls in the arena. Ruby unfolded Crescent Rose but did nothing else.
"I'm ready," she told Yang. The brawler nodded and activated her gauntlets. Activating her semblance Ruby speed toward her sister. Ducking under the swing Yang retaliated with a punch aimed at her sister's face. Ruby tensed and waited for it to land. Yang froze.
"I-I can't fight you," Yang said pulling away from her sister. Ruby looked up at the older girl before refolding her scythe.
"Yes you can," Ruby said mirroring her sister's stance from before. Yang put her arms up reluctantly. Ruby vanished with a burst of rose petals. Yang blocked the blow on instinct holding Ruby's leg from where it would have hit her head. Ruby landed easily when Yang threw her away.
Spinning Ruby danced around her sister's barrage of attacks. She knew Yang was stronger but also knew the blonde couldn't keep up. Slamming her knee into Yang's back she smirked as the girl stumbled. Flipping away she wasn't disappointed when Yang shot at her. Ruby jumped activating the dust in her jacket to hover for a second before dropping down. She landed gently on her feet tilting her head to avoid Yang's fist.
Grabbing her sisters arm she took the opportunity to drive her palm into the girl's chest. Yang stumbled but Ruby followed up the palm strike with a kick to the girl's knee. Releasing her sister she stepped back as Yang fell to the ground.
"Are you really going to hold back because of guilt," Ruby taunted making sure to put some distance between them. When the blonde didn't move she continued, "I knew Tai wasn't my dad, and if this is all you can do then I guess I shouldn't be surprised."
"What's that supposed to mean," Yang growled her eyes starting to turn red.
"If this is how you react when faced with a problem maybe our difference in teachers isn't the only reason your weak," Ruby stated. Yang exploded her eyes burning bright red. Ruby smirked jumping back to dodge her sister's shots. Spinning she unfolded Crescent rose and used it to block the girl's fist. Kicking Yang back she rested the weapon on her shoulders, "come on little dragon, fight smart, not angry."
When Yang rushed her again she frowned and dodged to the side. She knew her sister's combat abilities, they'd been raised together, after all, there was no way the blonde could win by attacking randomly. Hitting Yang in the back Ruby narrowed her eyes.
"Is this really how you want to fight me," Ruby asked her. The reaper was getting annoyed.
"Shut up," Yang finally screamed. Her red eyes fading back to lilac. Sighing Ruby replaced Crescent Rose on her back.
"I give up," she said moving to stand in front of the older girl drawing Thorn as she did so, "I forgive you, Yang. Now stop acting like a fool. Your my sister I could never stay mad at you. That being said I really do apologize for this."
Taking advantage of their closeness Ruby held Thorn to the blonde's neck. As Glynda called the match Ruby smirked at her sister's disbelief.
"Does this mean you two are done with the fighting," Jaune asked as the two girls walked back to the group. Ruby smirked.
"Unless Yang wants to continue," she said. The blonde rolled her eyes before looking up at Cardin. Wincing she remembered her actions before their date.
"Um Ruby you might want to hide Cardin," Yang said playing with her hair, "I kind of told Qrow he was your boyfriend."
"Yang," Ruby whined as her team glared at him in unison.
"No," the deadpan voice of all three stated. They would not allow Cardin to date their leader. Not after his actions toward them. Ruby smiled her anger vanishing when Sun slung his arm around her shoulder.
"Come on guys let's go get something to eat," he said and got agreement from everyone even Cardin's silent team. Seeing the looks she was getting from the three boys Ruby decided to speak.
"I need to talk to Cardin's teammates you guys go on ahead," she stated catching the boys off guard. Cardin studied her for a second before nodding.
"Let's go," he said leaving the room. The others all followed except for Sun and Blake who stood next to the door.
"Really guys," she asked amused.
"We have something to talk to you about," Blake said not addressing the fact she wanted to stay and protect her leader.
Ruby just nodded and looked at the three boys who couldn't meet her eyes. Faintly she remembered the stabbing pain from the wound Russel had given her. Curling her hands into fists so they'd stop shaking she said, "you tried to kill me."
"It was Russel's idea," Sky pointed out. He was the most regretful out of the three boys. Dove looked at the shaking girl warily he had already paid for his mistake. Cardin could be very sadistic when it came to protecting her.
"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, but I do hope it won't interfere with your relationship with Cardin," she said. When Russel scoffed she frowned and continued, "I know he's keeping something from me, and even if I ask he won't tell me, so keep him safe when I can't. That's the only thing I ask."
Russel watched the girl walk toward her friends with a frown. He didn't understand her or his leader obsession with her.
"So what's up," Ruby asked as she walked between Blake and Sun as they left Cardin's team behind to catch up with the others.
"We're going to a white fang rally tomorrow night to see if we can find out anything new," Blake said bluntly. Ruby waited for her to say it was a joke and when she didn't Ruby sighed.
"I'll go down to Vale tomorrow in case you need backup," Ruby said lightly.
"Be sure to bring Pyrrha and Jaune," Blake said shuddering at the thought of Pyrrha scolding them again like they were kids.
