Hope you had a dandy spring break! It's time to get back to the regular Sunday schedule. In other fantastical news, I finally took the first step to become a successful voice actress! (That only took four years -_-) Whaaa? PM me if you want to learn about that!

After the hectic events that happened, things finally went according to plan.

Yang somehow distracted her sister and all of team JNPR in order for Weiss to tell Blake about the events the night before.

Naturally, Blake was shocked that Weiss drank Yang's blood. As far as the aristocrat knew, her sister never drank blood directly from humans. All the blood they'd been given were blood donations their mother could get her hands on when she worked in a hospital. Aside from that, their father would occasionally go out and do the dirty work, all the while trying not to kill the poor human.

For a vampire, drinking blood directly from a human was like a right of passage, although they weren't proud of it. Especially since Weiss took Yang's life fluid. But Blake was ultimately glad that both of them were okay in the end.

Of course, Blake lectured Weiss about how serious drinking Yang's blood was. If the heiress wasn't able to stop, their blonde teammate would have died. All those years of exercising great self-control finally shined last night. Weiss was just glad controlling her powerful urges proved successful.

Overall, Blake's reaction to the news was just like what Yang told Weiss it would be.

From that, Weiss felt guilty for doubting the person that had been with her majority of her life.

The journey back to Beacon was shorter because now the group knew exactly where they were going. They ran into fewer grimm and it was mostly a peaceful trek back. It had been a few hours since they boarded the airship.

Currently, teams RWBY and JNPR were walking through the academy's halls to their respective rooms.

Yang and Weiss walked side-by-side in blissful silence. Somewhere along the way, the two kept finding themselves next to each other.

Ever since that night, they shared something.

A deep secret.

Something special between them.

Even though Weiss had almost killed her teammate, Yang was extremely trusting and placed an immense amount of faith in her, somehow knowing she wouldn't suck her blood dry. Back then, the blonde was so confident her teammate wouldn't harm her. Weiss had a hard time understanding as to why she thought so.

Trust wasn't easy to come for the heiress.

The only people she trusted wholeheartedly were her family.

Until now.

Now Yang was one of those important people she allowed in her circle of trust. The blonde had seen her at her weakest state, her strongest, and everything in between.

Even though she knew partial details about the vampire secret, Yang still treated Weiss the same as everyone else. The same as before. There wasn't even a hint of tension or awkwardness between the two.

Yang felt the same way. Even though the two had gotten off on the wrong foot and constantly bickered, it was no secret that the teammates would take a bullet for each other. Because of this secret, their bond undoubtedly deepened.

Weiss had never known someone could be so caring, so trusting…

So loyal.

Since the incident, she was beginning to see Yang in a different light.

She didn't know how to feel about that. Weiss was a vampire and Yang was a human.

Sometimes, she thought that species didn't matter. The blonde's smile seemed to be able to take on the world. However, their species had boundaries Weiss was hesitant to cross.

What am I thinking? Weiss scolded herself. Remember, you almost killed her, she watched Yang hum a chipper tune. You don't deserve her. Not after that.

"What's up, princess?" Yang asked. "You look like you're thinkin' about something."

"Just thinking about how much of a brute you are," the heiress airily replied. "It's nothing important."

Why does she have to be so kind?

Yang seemed to buy the reply and wasn't about to press. She could tell her teammate was tired. If she was honest, she was, too. In fact, she could tell her whole team craved sleep as they dragged themselves through the halls.

"We're almost to our room," Yang stated. "You can sleep it off."

Ruby slowed her pace and walked next to her sister. "Sleep? After you slept most of the day yesterday? Are you crazy?"

It was true. After being attacked by a horde of grimm, Weiss and Yang had slept most of the day. It wasn't until several hours later did the teams leave to head back to Beacon. It was no trouble waiting for them to rest. The chief of Acacia was waiting for the arrival of the permanent hunter, anyways. When the hunter arrived, it was okay to leave.

"Hey," Yang began. "Those grimm gave us a pretty intense workout."

Blake simply scoffed, knowing it took a lot to wear out her partner. "A work out too intense for you? Sounds almost impossible."

That earned a chuckle from Yang as she used the key to open the door.

"Have a good day, guys!" they heard Jaune yell. "We'll see you in class soon."

All of team RWBY gasped and yelped in unison. "Class?!"

Pyrrha turned around to speak to them before entering her room. "Yes, we have combat class today."

"Ughhhhh," an annoyed groan sounded from Yang. "But we just got back. Anyone wanna skip?"

A soft smack upside her head.

"Ow!" the blonde weakly yelped. Judging by her tone, it didn't actually hurt. Just something she said out of reflex. "What was that for?"

Weiss scowled, angry she even mentioned the idea. "No one is skipping, brute. Come to class with us."

Ruby looked like she was debating if she should skip or not. Her fingers pressed together nervously.

The idea vanished when a nasty glare came from the heiress.

"Ehehe…" Ruby weakly offered. "Yeah, guys. No skipping!"

Glad she convinced them not to skip, the team started to get ready for class. They only had about ten minutes, so they rushed to make some final touches. Thankfully, they were already in their combat gear, so that saved a lot of time.

Before she did anything, Blake found the backup blood tablets and handed her sister some. Immediately, Weiss slipped in the bathroom and devoured two full drinks. It was true that Yang's blood provided sustenance for her vampire body, but that could only last so long. And she took so little of it. She only sipped what was necessary to keep her body functioning until they got back to Beacon. Now that they were there, they had all the blood tablets and bags necessary.

As usual, the vampire sisters dropped the blood tablets in their water bottles. After that, the team headed out, although slowly. No one was particularly excited to go, considering how tired they were.

Once they were in the classroom, team JNPR waved them over to sit next to them. They also looked worn out, except Nora, who was bouncing in her seat and mumbling.

"Pleasebemepleasebemepleasebemepleasebeme…"

"What's she goin' on about?" Yang asked Jaune.

"She really wants to fight someone from a different team," the boy sighed. "I don't know how she has this much energy."

While the teams faintly chuckled, Blake happened to catch something in the corner of her keen eye.

It was a bulky mass that entered the room and was strutting over. It was Cardin. The pureblood slowly approached the group. Cat ears flattened under her bow and her eyes narrowed.

What was he doing? Did he learn nothing from their previous encounters?

Blake just wished he'd leave them alone.

Gently, the aristocrat nudged her sister's side, which grabbed her unyielding attention. Weiss broke away from her conversation with Ruby for a moment to see what she needed.

Only to see Cardin coming to their row.

The aristocrat was perturbed and spoke lowly. "What does he want?"

Weiss glared at the boy. "Your guess is as good as mine."

Normally, Cardin sat in the back of the room. Today, however, he chose to sit in front of the teams, leaving everyone, not just Blake and Weiss, uncomfortable. They weren't just going to tell him to leave, he wasn't bothering anyone.

Except the vampire sisters.

In the past, the pureblood defeated both vampire siblings in fights. Maybe this was his way of asserting his dominance? To show them that their existence was almost nothing to him?

Either way, it sent them on edge.

Blake took a sip of her blood tablet water. It was a nervous habit she'd formed when she was anxious about something.

The two could only stare at the back of his head, wondering why he switched seats. There was nothing they could do about it and the last thing they wanted to do was to cause a scene for no apparent reason.

As if to help take their attention off the pureblood, professor Goodwitch's voice boomed through the room.

"The match will be between Jaune Arc and Emerald Sustrai!"

Jaune lowered his head. "Why me? Why not Nora?"

Nora slapped his back with a giddy grin. "You got this, captain!"

"We believe in you," Pyrrha stated. "Remember your training and you will do well."

Jaune gave her a soft smile. "Thanks, Pyr."

Both opponents headed down to the arena, neither looking too thrilled to spar with the other. Although, Jaune looked determined as ever while Emerald looked bored.

"It's the new girl," Ruby stated, her eyes scanning Emerald. "Ohmygoshohmygosh I can't wait to see her weapon!"

"Chill out Rubes," the blonde replied jokingly. "Now's not the time to fangirl over weapons."

"It's always the time to geek out about weapons," Ruby leaned on the edge of her seat, anxiously waiting for the match to start.

With a wave of her riding crop, the professor yelled.

"Begin!"

Once Goodwitch gave the okay, Emerald lunged at Jaune like he was a mere doll. Her expression screamed that she just wanted to get this over with, so she was not going to hold back.

She started the fight up close, although that wasn't her typical combat style. Because she knew he wasn't the best fighter, she took her chances. That proved to be in vain when Jaune could deflect and dodge most of her nimble kicks and flailing of her green sickles.

When Jaune got the chance to gain distance between the two, she switched her sickles to guns and fired multiple sharp, green shots at him.

"Woooooow," Ruby gawked. "Those guns look so cool!"

Some green bullets whizzed passed his hair and even grazed his skin. Most however, didn't even make dents in his shield. She was surprised to see he was more skillful than she thought, which earned a scowl. The bullets that grazed his skin even began to heal and vanish.

From the sight, Pyrrha smiled broadly.

"He's improved," Yang observed.

Pyrrha only nodded.

Emerald's gunshots gave the same flare of color as her hair. While the boy focused on dodging, he steadily closed the distance between the two. Shocked, Emerald leapt back from a sudden offensive tackle. In retaliation, she expanded her weapons to swords shaped like one claw each.

The grin wouldn't wipe off Ruby's face as she stared in amazement at Emerald's fighting style. Her acrobatic ability was more impressive than most and the way she slid on the arena with her weapons at the perfect angle…

Ruby loved that style, it reminded her of how ungraceful she herself could be when she waved her giant scythe around.

After the thought, Ruby hugged her scythe that was in its compact form. "But you always get the job done," she nuzzled it. "Yeeesss. My sweetheart..."

Yang gave her a weird look before noticing Blake and Weiss' gazes directed at Ruby. Her whole team was staring at the happy leader.

"Rubes, we all know the scythe is your girlfriend," the blonde teased. "Don't show that much PDA."

"She's my baby," Ruby simply set Crescent Rose on her lap and grinned before focusing on the match.

Yang only sent her a smile and looked down at the arena.

"The winner is Ms. Sustrai!" Goodwitch's voice exclaimed.

"That was quick…" Blake mumbled. "Although interesting."

When Pyrrha noticed her partner was having trouble standing, she rushed the arena. Ren and Nora were content to stay seated. He was her partner, after all. And Jaune was already almost on his feet, so he didn't need much help.

"Jaune, Jaune are you okay?" Pyrrha worriedly asked. He didn't look too injured, but she was concerned nonetheless.

"Yeah, I'm good, don't worry, Pyr," Jaune accepted her support and glanced at his previous opponent. "That was a good fight. You're a great fighter."

Emerald said nothing and only casted him a nasty glare before she headed to her seat. Pyrrha and Jaune exchanged confused looks before shrugging and heading back to their spots.

Yang said what everyone was thinking. "What the hell's her problem?"

The blood-faunus drank more of her red liquid. "I guess some people just aren't that friendly." Her amber orbs never left Emerald, who was whispering in Mercury's ear.

"Jaune was right, though," Ruby chirped. "That was a good match."

Jaune groaned. "I got creamed."

"You may not have won, but your skills have improved immensely," Pyrrha said. "You held your ground in melee and long-ranged combat. Your agile footwork had allowed you to move faster than even her at some points. You did well."

"Don't be so hard on yourself," an unexpected voice suggested. "You will only get worse if you keep thinking like that."

Jaune took those words to heart, surprised from who they belonged to. "Thanks, Weiss," he sheepishly rubbed his head. "You guys are right."

Before the bell rang to signal the end of class, the vampire sisters got a text from Winter that read:

'We're ready.'

OHHHHH they're ready! For whaaaaat? Do you guys even remember? It's been a while XD
