How To Beat Ruby At Tag… Sort Of

Yang wasn't the fastest person out there. Sure, she was faster than most people, but she couldn't hold a candle to Ruby. Heck, Ruby had even learned how to teleport. However, Yang liked to win, especially when the odds were completely stacked against her, like, say, in a game of tag against Ruby.

Beating Ruby in a game of tag couldn't be accomplished through speed. In fact, Yang was pretty sure that no matter how much she improved her speed, she'd never be as fast as Ruby. But Yang had a plan, and cunning would allow her to achieve what mere speed could not.

"I'll get you this time, Ruby." Yang smiled as she walked straight toward her little sister. Ruby didn't even bother to move – she rarely did, these days, until Yang actually took a swipe at her. "You can bet on it."

"Really?" Ruby grinned. "It's been ages since you beat me at tag, Yang."

"Maybe… but I have a plan." Yang smirked evilly. She was so close that she could reach out and touch Ruby. Of course, if she tried that, it wouldn't work. Ruby would be gone long before she made contact. Suddenly, Yang gaped and pointed behind Ruby. "And it's perfect for – what the hell, Weiss, go back inside! At least put on a shirt!"

As Ruby turned, Yang bit back a laugh. Weiss wasn't walking around topless, but she knew Ruby. Yang was willing to bet that a topless Weiss was one of the few things that could distract Ruby during a game of tag.

And sure enough, it worked.

"Tag!" Yang tapped Ruby on the arm.

Ruby gasped and turned back around to glare at Yang. "What? You tricked me!"

"Well, yeah. It's not like I can beat you any other way."

"Sneaky." Ruby huffed and then whipped her head around to stare at something behind Yang. Her jaw dropped. "I – Blake, button up your shirt!"

Yang turned – how could she not? – and then felt a tap on her arm.

"Tag." Ruby giggled. "Fair is fair, Yang." And then she vanished in a blur of motion.

Yang laughed. "Damn it."

Author's Notes

As always, I do not own RWBY. I'm not making any money off of this either.

It's always fun writing a snippet where Yang and Ruby get to engage in a little bit of sisterly competition.

As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
