Guest from chapter 34#3: me and a number of people agree with you, their bromance is great. But as I said above, relaxed, and going for another chapter.

Chapter 35:

Pyrrha flung open the door to where she knew Yang was, not caring that Weiss was on her tail. She needed to let the blonde woman know how stupid she is being. Yang caught the punching bag that was swinging back to see her red haired friend looking irritated. But she couldn't see the reason behind it.

Not that Yang was also curious as to how Ruby was doing. She didn't hold back on her strength and probably did some serious damage. She could see Weiss walking in like she was trying to pull Pyrrha back.

"Yang you fucking moron!" Pyrrha yelled as she came to a stop in front of the woman. Weiss quickly going over to Yang curious as to what caused their friends reaction. "You are going to need to be more specific... like... I've done a lot of stupid things... astronomically stupid at points. If you have a few hours to kill ask Blake to give you a list." Yang spoke as she began to flex her knuckles inside her weighted training gloves.

"Don't play dumb. I mean what you did to Ruby last night. When you just jumped straight to violence without knowing anything about the entire situation." Pyrrha said causing Yang to just look at her incredulously. Not sure if Pyrrha had been serious. "I know you are a skilled shrink Pyr, but you don't know have the shit she did." Yang said as she quickly pulled the velcro of her gloves and began to take them off.

She genuinely couldn't believe Pyrrha was fighting over something so trivial to her. Ruby seemed to know what she did was wrong, and Ruby did ask for it. "No, you don't know half the shit she has been through. From forced bestiality, to getting her tubes tied, to forced whoring, and I feel I've just scraped the surface." Pyrrha spoke causing Yang to just continue to look at her. Pyrrha stared back and could see the sadness in her eyes.

"If you think she isn't brutal in her own mind of what she did to you, Blake and your parents? Wrong. Right before I heard the first story of her past from her, she told me I should be disgusted by what she did." Pyrrha said as Weiss continued to cling to Yang, fearing if they began to come to blows. Knowing that Pyrrha wouldn't last long.

"Then why the fuck won't she tell me who the fuck caused it!" Yang yelled, letting her hurt out towards Pyrrha knowing that she couldn't hide it from any of the room's occupants. She didn't even know who to blame. She had been through the whole self blaming stage. Weiss had showed her that was not the way to go.

Pyrrha couldn't believe how petty Yang was, as if she sought someone to blame, so she could forgive the actions Ruby has done. The fact her younger sister apologised in a way, even used advice, Pyrrha had no idea how old that Yang gave her. Yang needed that person to blame, just so she can have her sister back.

"Your being a child. She hasn't given the name to anyone. Not even the man who saved her from killing herself on multiple occasions and for four years was her only friend knows. We only know what she calls her which is White. Sun the same man, that your sister didn't die in the first week on the streets, from hypothermia, the same man who on multiple occasions has given her literally the shirt off his back, he is the one to thank for her even being alive." Pyrrha began as she tried to shift her tone from anger to one that proved to Weiss she wasn't going to start throwing punches.

Yang just closed her fists, she couldn't believe the nerve of this woman. Telling her how she was acting was being childish. She knew what she was doing. She knew what she was saying. She knew when it came to Ruby you couldn't coddle her. She needed to be treated like you would any adult. It had been like that since she was a child.

Pyrrha felt her phone vibrate causing her to check it. "I need to go. Here." Pyrrha said reaching into her bag and pulled out a large folder pushing it into Yang's hands. "Ruby doesn't know, but since the beginning I've been recording and then transcribing everything, since our first encounter. So if you feel like you can act as an adult for a couple of hours, read my notes. If not... keep up this unprocessed limbo you've stuck yourself in." Pyrrha said quickly walking out of the room and shortly out of the house.

Yang stared down at the folder, the sheer weight to it. She freed the hand she hadn't realised that Weiss had a death grip over, to open to a random mid way point in the folder. The white haired girl just looked into the same page and looked at the handwritten notes. It was as if she was reading the notes of an experiment. One that she didn't like the progress of. It was solely undoing all the work she did.

Closing it, Yang quickly handed it to the white haired woman in her room, "Here... I'm still in the middle of my routine. I'll take a genuine look at it later." Yang said planting a kiss onto Weiss' lips, pulling back to see her smile a little. "How long do you think you are going to be?"

"Fifteen... maybe twenty minutes." Yang said grabbing hold of Weiss' hips. "Make it fifteen and we can shower together... and then I'll make us some tea as you read the notes dissecting your sister while I continue our planning." Weiss spoke in a sultry tone as Yang smiled.

"Will do Snowpea." Yang spoke kissing Weiss once more as she quickly left the room. Once Weiss had closed the door, she opened it smiling. Knowing that if Pyrrha or Blake hadn't figured it out yet, the odds of anyone were slim to non-existent.

As she took a seat on a dining room chair she had occupied before Pyrrha knocked she opened it and smiled at what she read. 'How dare that whore think I have an attraction towards Winter... if I could just get my hands on you pet... you would really wish I stopped at putting you with the animals.'

Ruby looked at the board before her. Smiling because when Yang said she was going to take her to the park she thought she meant the place with other children. Not somewhere to teach her something new. Blake enjoyed playing people but always looked back towards Ruby playing her sister.

The way she thought of what to do was like she had been playing chess for years, not half an hour. Just the way that the ten year old had been playing after Blake explained the movements of each piece. It was strange, Blake knew Yang wasn't by any means easy to beat, and the people that frequented the tables, knew that.

"That would be checkmate wouldn't it?" Ruby asked as she placed the pawn just next to the king. One of the men who had been watching it nearly the entire game had finally spoke up. "Blondie got beaten... by a child... that is funny."

Ruby could see her sister tense her knuckles getting ready to punch the man. Fearing just that, Ruby spoke up, "How about you play me... I mean... if you think you can do better than Yang. If not... that just means you're scared an eleven year old can beat you." Ruby spoke as the man smiled.

That was when the dots finally connected for Blake. She knocked over the king from the match she was playing and ran towards Ruby. She just got to the table as Yang and the man swapped places. "Ruby, don't... this man is a grandmaster..." Ruby's eyebrows raised. "What your friend means, is I'm a professional player." He said as he quickly finished setting up the board.

"Ah... so? I mean... it is just a game... and he owes Yang an apology..." Ruby said as she moved her first piece. Blake was beginning to worry, she knew how hard Ruby would fight just so Yang would get that apology. Not that she felt like her blonde friend didn't deserve it.

It wasn't long before the board became a minefield. Just one wrong move and the entire board would be taken. Ruby having taken on the appearance that she was in deep thought but knew that it was a front. She knew Ruby's real deep thought face. She had learned when she taught Ruby how to play Go, that this meant she already knew where to go and just wanted to taunt her opponent.

The crowd that had gathered, all watching just as intently as Ruby moved her queen, practically screaming at her not to. The man smiled as he took the queen with his own. Ruby quickly took his queen and smiled. "Check mate in two moves... and when I win, you owe my sister an apology." Ruby spoke as the man looked at the board. He moved his knight back towards its original starting point. "That is an interesting claim. You haven't even put me in check yet."

Ruby moved her remaining pawn into place and smiled. "That would be checkmate... can't take my pawn... can't move anyway without placing yourself in check...and you thought I was going to move my rook to place you in check. Hence your defensive move... now apologise to Yang." Ruby demanded as the man stood up and smiled at Yang. "Sorry Blondie... she is actually really skilled."

"Damn Rubes... we could make a fortune off you... just gotta figure out a way to hustle people..." Yang joked taking her seat back. Getting comfortable. "Yang... can we go get ice cream?"

"Sure Rubes."

Ren placed a black piece down where the lines on the board met. Ruby smiled a little knowing that was a desperate play. She began to act like she was thinking. She already knew where she should go, if she wanted to win.

She placed it on the far corner and, began to to look at Nora who had begun to build something. "What is Nora doing?" Ruby asked as Ren looked over the board. "It is best not to ask... just, if you see her using a welding torch run... or oddly enough... an etch and sketch." Ren spoke as he placed another piece.

"You already lost... I'll place a piece at thirteen twelve. You only have one reasonable move at six five, making me lose some, and game will be done when I place a piece at eight eight... me winning by the five and a half bonus of going second." Ruby spoke as she placed her piece in the first one causing Ren to see what she meant. "That was a fun game. Haven't had anyone to play in a while." Ren said offering his hand.

Ruby carefully reached across the board and grasped it carefully. She hadn't met that many people who had lost to her in a game like Go with that much dignity. They normally acted childish. She wasn't sure if that was because she was a child, when she played this last or not. She never understood what was so hard to believe that an eleven year old could beat people at it.

She began to pick up the pieces, she hadn't realised at how close Ren could have won at some points. Her fingers deftly picked up the final piece and dropped it into her container. She could see just out of the corner of her eye Ren copying her.

"So what is the total at?" Ruby asked as Ren stopped for a second to think about it. "Four to three to you. Why? You want to go another two?" Ren asked as Ruby smiled a little. She hadn't lost many times when it came to a game that was about strategy. But she wasn't mad like she had been in the past. She was fine with losing to someone like Ren.

"No thank you... I should probably get back to Pyrrha's... I need to start dinner... going to cook some salmon..." Ruby said as Ren began to laugh a little. "Good luck getting her to eat it. She doesn't like salmon."

It was now Ruby's turn to laugh at him. "She didn't like onions till last night either. It is all about proper cooking... something a lot of people screw up on, and I'm assuming in her case it was her parents' fault." Ruby spoke as Ren handed her both the containers as he picked up the board and walked over to the wall, getting followed by Ruby. "You'd have to ask Nora on that one. I didn't meet Pyrrha till after she stopped acting."

Ruby's eyebrows began to knot as she tried to figure out what the man meant when Nora shouted across the apartment. "You talking about Pyr's acting! Loved her in that one remake... what was it called..." Ruby winced as Nora didn't seem to stop yelling as she got closer. "You know... the one with the haunted hotel in the middle of nowhere during winter... and I could just be biased because she took me to the set every day and we ended up going to the red carpet together..." Nora continued as she hugged Ren.

"I didn't know she was a child actor... but I also didn't really watch movies growing up..." Ruby said as Nora just stared at her, as if she had three heads. "Your parents must have hated you... next your going to tell me you did more than some ice." Nora continued as Ruby just rolled her eyes.

"No offence Nora... but if you don't know what the street name for drugs are... don't use them. I have never once nor ever will do meth. And I just never wanted to watch movies... I'd rather reading a book." Ruby spoke as she began to walk towards the door. "Wait... I'm meant to go with you... Pyr is very scary when she is mad..." Nora said letting go of Ren and ran towards Ruby.

Nora smiled as Ren began to walk towards them as well. "I'll go as well, that way you aren't walking back by yourself," Nora smirked at Ren being his concerned self. "Kay."
