Gentle and tranquil breathing filled the still and quiet morning atmosphere, as the sun had risen just high enough to loom partially over the sleeping faunus's body that had been sprawled out directly on her stomach on the damp and moist grass, sleeping as peacefully as one possibly could. However, in spite of that having been said, even the most serene of moments in a person's time had their bitter eventual endings, and with a single and yet soft raspy groan that had seemingly sounded as if it had been more of a growl than anything, began to resound from the Faunus's chest and throat as the once moderately perked ears slowly began to droop back down into the red and black tresses, and as her once concealed gray irises gingerly began to open until they had revealed the hazed gray eyes of the faunus. Yet despite having been opened, the wolf Faunus's gray irises peered unfocused in the direction of a certain abnormally silent cricket resting calmly on top of her flipper that had been laid in front of her face, causing her to slightly scowl for a minute in hopes that it had possibly scared the creature off. "Ugh.. Shoo.. Don't you see how big I am to you?" As the cricket continued to silently rest upon the Faunus's flipper and peered back at her for what had seemed to be an eternity before she eventually sighed and closed her eyes in defeat after having not scared the creature off.
As Ruby lied motionlessly in the cold damp grass that had been gradually been causing the stomach of her costume to become gradually become more and more dirtied and tarnished from the dirt and trimmed grass clinging to the wet spots on the costume, yet despite the entire fact that the damp spots that had been spreading around the stomach part of her costume slightly beginning to give of a sensation of agitation from her skin not having enjoyed the feeling of cold cloth pressing into her body, Ruby stay stationary as she mirthfully bathed in the warm rays of sunlight that had been managing to shine through the leaves of the trees shrouding her small figure and scatteredly shaded her being in a warm feeling. However, as the seconds ticked by and turned into full minutes, Ruby's ears had managed to suddenly pick up on the familiar sound of grass being crunched softly under someone's feet as they began to get closer and closer to where she had been sprawled out, causing the black charcoal colored ears to alarmingly perk up and attempt to seek out exactly where the noises had been coming from while the once contentful expression became miffed as she tried to quickly arranged the array of disorienting thoughts of confusion and concern of where she had been, yet before Ruby could have been even fully been set off into the emotion of alarm and panic from the approaching noise and acted on impulse to stop the intruder, she felt the presences of an old aura; one that she had not experienced since she had been small.
Yet, as if the immediate and abrupt swirl of many emotions and thoughts that had clouded her mind in the mere instance of a second had seemingly sent the Faunus into the false feeling of being completely paralyzed as she was flooded by the scent of an old aura that she had long since had thought was something she would not experience again in her lifetime. However, with the little willpower that she had actually had control of, she tensely began to impulsively ball up her hand into a fist inside the of flipper as she listened intently to the sound of the footsteps get closer and closer until they suddenly stopped next to her. Ruby knew what this was, she would have been lying if she didn't say she occasionally didn't have dreams of those who once were her family still existing by her side, but this had been crossing the line of reality and dreams. It had all felt too surreal to merely just contentedly accept and play along with. 'Go away.' Ruby gritted down her teeth tightly down onto each other as she listened painfully to the person slowly squatting down next to her until they were able to gently reach out and pet her head as if nothing had happened in the past years. 'Stop it.'
Ruby's body immediately responded to the sudden touch and tensed up under the person's hand as they lightly grazed the side of her ear that had been lowered back into the messy black locks of hair, however, despite how small the change in Ruby's posture was, the action of dismay hadn't gone unnoticed from the person as the gingerly came to halt that had lasted more than a simple few minutes before they gingerly retracted their hand away from her head. "I suppose that one way to react to an old acquaintance since, well, I can't say that I didn't expect much of you, Ruby. Not now, that is." Flustered and shaken by the utter sound of the voice that she hadn't heard in so long, Ruby forced down an immense lump that had formed in the back of her throat before she whimpered feebly as if her presence had been reduced down to that of a small animal. "Hmm. I haven't seen this given in since you were little. You've changed." Ruby inhaled a sharp breath before she gingerly exhaled a minute later in an attempt to gather the thoughts that had been surging through her mind relentlessly.
There had been so many things that the faunus wanted to merely cry out and act about in the single second when finally hearing the other's voice, to make up for all those lost and scattered memories. The emptiness that the years gave her, the mental ruining of causing others agony; all for the sakes of her own bitterness."No-Stop it..Stop acting like you're actually here, I'm no fool to the mind acting on wishes when under stress and lately there's just too much going on for me to comprehend.. I-I've learned that over the years." Ruby allowed her sentence to gradually trail off as she felt the other person calmly placing their hand once more on top of hers as if they knew what she went through during their times apart before her ears slightly raised up upon hearing their raspy laugh that had clearly shown the age growth. "You're not real, you won't be real anymore. You vanished years ago-but I- I don't want to wake up just yet. I've missed you." Shortly after Ruby had finished speaking, silence reclaimed the atmosphere around the pair, yet the ragged and forced breaths from the faunus soon followed since Ruby knew that no matter how much she may have pleaded and begged, all good things such as these came to their end.
"I'm afraid you already know the answer to your request of me, Ruby. You said it yourself." Ruby snorted slightly in a pitiful manner since they were right, she had known the answer to her own plead from the very start of waking up and noticing the aura. There was no point in wishing for more endless dreams when she had others waiting for her to wake up now, yet, that still didn't lessen the pain that had been had tightly constricting around her chest . A soft sigh of acceptance pressed past Ruby's lips as she nodded her head silently reluctantly. "Although, I will congratulate you on your wish coming true. You've finally become quite the little beast you've set out to be over the years. It's a shame to see you all caged up here, obeying the rules of humanity. " Ruby's bit her tongue at the abrupt mention of the past, yet she remained silent as she felt the person's hand moving up off from her hand and back to the special spot where she had been pet in the past by them.
'I..This is-this is the end, isn't it? A reminder.' Ruby gradually felt her consciousness slipping away from her grasp once more while memories of the past and present relapsed through her mind as if a short film. 'When I grow up! I want to be big and scary, just like you! Then no one will pick on me! Oh! Ah! N-not that you're scary mom!' Ruby heart pounded rapidly in her chest as a swirl of memories all came into thought from every corner and every cranny of her mind. It had all been far too much to take in, yet suddenly she heard the familiar voices of her friends relapse as well. 'Haah. That's right.' Ruby's body slowly relaxed down as a small smile formed on her lips at the reminder her friends gave her. "Not-not everyone is a bad as we thought. So why play monster any longer.." Ruby drowsily uttered under her breath as she finally gave into the lulling feelings of contentment and fell back into another peaceful slumber.
A small impish grin appeared on the person's lips as they removed their hand from the sleeping faunus's head and lifted up the hand that had priorly been rested on Ruby's hand and watched as a decent sized gray flame appeared on the tip of their fingertip, somewhat unveiling a pair of silver beastly eyes that had a hazed glow to them. "Hm. They've changed you but don't worry now. It won't be much long." Swiftly, the flame diminished until it faded into nothing as the person closed their fist. "So for now, rest at ease."
A few hours later into the morning.
Prompt and hectic footsteps echoed down the partially empty hallway as a pair of bleak and distressed blue eyes darted around through the occasional group of students that were standing idly by the walls of the hallway chatting with other students. Yet, occasionally a few students had managed to catch the heiress peering at their group and silently gathered the attention of the other students around their group, causing a few to awkwardly back up in confusion as she had passed by. 'Nothing still.. Haah, where on Remnant could that faunus be. She's honestly such a pain to keep up with sometimes.' Weiss wearily sighed as she allowed herself to slow her down as she came to the end of the hallway she had been walking up and into the next separate halls that led to either the west or east wing of the school 'Now if I was an active faunus again, where would I be?'
Contemplating on her various choices of thoughts, Weiss glanced over slightly towards her right where the east wing was only to notice a few more groups of students bunched up around certain classroom doors waiting for the first morning class to begin. However the thought of occasionally having to bypass more students that particular morning caused Weiss's face to become grimace. 'I know she's quite the social faunus, but I don't think she'd be social enough to talk and wait for class to start..' Shortly after making the comment in her thoughts she glanced over towards her left side where the west wing of the school was and noticed that it was oddly empty unlike the east. 'Haah, sadly neither choices are quite logical when it comes to Ruby, however, I'll take my chances of being wrong after searching all morning.'
Weiss leisurely lifted up her right hand to her mouth and covered it as she yawned slightly from the fact that in her haste to rush out of the dorm that morning in seek of Ruby had made her miss quite a few of her daily morning routines, which as a result had left the heiress abnormally discombobulated. 'She's gonna get an ear full when I find her. I swear. I feel more like her babysitter than a lover sometimes.' As Weiss turned to the left and began to grudgingly trudged down the hallway with little energy, she couldn't help but peer at out the occasional windows that were scattered down the hallways to make sure it was bright enough for the students to see or have something to glance out when waiting for morning classes. Weiss appreciated the view of the morning since no matter how old she got it was always as if a fresh start.
'Okay, what rooms or areas could Ruby possibly want to go to this early in the morning in the wes-' Weiss had been in the middle of brainstorming possibilities when she was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a distant door creaking softly open, yet upon turning her head to face back forward where she had heard the noise, she noticed a dark orange haired student walking out with a few textbooks settled under his arm. However, as if not aware of the heiress's presence, he gently used the side of her foot to push the door back shut and turned the opposite direct and began to walk off while whistling a quiet tune to himself.
A sudden sense of familiarity hit the heiress as she slightly slowed down and quirked a brow in apprehension of who had just left the empty classroom and was now getting further away second by second. 'Wait a minute, Isn't that Fox from team CFVY? If so believe I've heard Ruby mention something about him before..And if he knows Ruby, then there might be a chance he knows where the dolt is, that is if it's him in the first place.' As much as Weiss disliked asking complete strangers for help, she was in a hurry to find her leader before their morning classes began and the two of them got half grades for not attending. So with a reluctant and skeptical groan of complete frustration, Weiss trekked after the orange haired student for a few minutes until she got close enough to where she could softly call out to the person. "Excuse me!"
Weiss's abrupt call had moderately managed to startle the dark orange haired student, however, he had quickly managed to relax upon noticing the gentle tone Weiss had used to call out to him and responded in a slightly hesitant tone. "Uh, huh? Me?" Weiss watched as the student took a step forward and turned his body so that he could entirely see who it was who had just called out to him, yet as soon as blue eyes met clear white eyes, the pair stared at each other in recognition. "Oh, wait, aren't a member Ruby's team? Pardon me if I get this wrong, but you're Schnee right?" Weiss was somewhat taken back by the pair of white eyes that were focusing down on her before she shook her head and straightened up her back and offered a polite smile at the recognition, despite them never truly having a conversation. "Hm? Was I wrong by chance?"
"No, you're right. I'm Weiss Schee, and you must be Fox from team CFVY. " Weiss noticed a slight grin forming on Fox's lips upon her mentioning his name before he gingerly used his right hand to grab the books that had been under his left arm and removed them, which shortly after he had moved the three books from under his left arm, he extended out his left hand out to Weiss with a contentful expression. "Oh, uh, sorry if I seem a bit out of it today." Weiss lifted up her right hand and gently gripped Fox's hand and shook it. "I'm surprised you know such formal greeting for a school such as this."
"Well, I suppose you could say that any friends of Ruby are potential friends of mine and team CFVY. Although out of all of us Velvet seems to be closer to Ruby than the rest of our team, but I still stand strongly by what I said. " Weiss couldn't help but smirk somewhat at Fox's response, completely omitting the fact that he had jumped straight to considering her a friend, which had somewhat normally bothered her. "Where's the little wolf anyhow? I haven't personally seen her since a few days ago when she mentioned you had been in the nurse's office. How are you anyway? She seemed quite upset by something."
Weiss's calm expression soon turned to one of a scowl as she heard Fox mention not having seen the faunus since the time she got out of the nurse's office. "To answer your question I'm doing.." Weiss halted her sentence as she scrunched her eyebrows down at the thought of the burn mark on the front of her stomach before she slowly continued to speak in a low manner. "Fairly decent lately, just a few pains now and then but generally everything will heal. Although are you sure you haven't seen Ruby around the school any lately?" Fox quirked a brow at Weiss's strained voice before he pondered a bit of his earlier wandering about.
"Well, no, I haven't oddly seen the faunus today or really any other students. The majority of the other classes for the morning are to the east and I've been gathering stuff up for my evening classes in the west wing." Weiss let out a long frustrated sigh as she lifted up her right hand to her face and used her index and thumb finger to pinch and massage between both of her eyes to reduce the amount of unladylike yelling she wanted to do that morning. All Weiss wanted to do at that moment was merely lay down and go back to sleep with the hope that this had merely been a nightmare and Ruby was squirming in her sleep again. "Uh, I'm gonna go on a guess here and say you're looking for her though." Weiss rolled her left hand in a circular motion to signal that Fox was right. "I may help though"
"You, have a way to find her when I've been searching all morning?" Weiss softly scoffed at Fox's mention of having some form or way of finding a faunus with hyper activeness plus an odd semblance of speed, however, she quickly lowered her shoulders at the unintentional crudeness to the tone of her voice. "Haah, you'll have to pardon my rudeness for now, it's just been a very long start to my morning and I haven't even had something to make it better so far. So tell me how do you plan to find Ruby?" Weiss lowered her right arm down and crossed it on top of her left arm as she peered slightly up at Fox who was oddly still giving off a serene expression, despite her minor snap.
"Reasonable reason of why you're upset, so no need to apologize to me. Now, however, as to how we're going to find the little wolf, you wouldn't mind sparing a few minutes of your time to accompany me towards the library would you?" Fox noticed the sudden perplexed expression appearing on the heiress's face as she raised a brow in curiosity of how exactly going to the library with him would have helped her in any manner, yet before Weiss could have questioned his offer, he spoke up. "Now, I have slightly a few tricks up my sleeves. So the offer is if you will be willing to put your trust in me momentarily. I assure you this'll benefit us both in our day today." Fox offered a friendly smile down to the heiress who was had was glaring at him quizzically.
"Now I'll have you know, I don't exactly just freely give my trust out to people I've only just met. However, I do have class in 20 minutes with that dolt so at this point if you have any leads to where she's hiding. They're better than just roaming on my own." Weiss paused mid-sentence as she watched Fox understandingly nod his head at her mention of only just meeting him. "So fine. Lead the way and let's be haste. I don't have too much time to spare." Fox used his free left hand to give Weiss a thumbs up before he reeled around on the ball off his foot and began to leisurely walk further down the west hall while Weiss rolled her eyes once and began to follow closely next to Fox with less enthusiasm.
As the pair walked down the hall in silence Weiss's blue eyes occasionally drifted off over towards her left where Fox was in slight fascination for the man's noteworthy pair of white eyes. Sure she had met many odd people with strange eye colors, such as Ruby, but never had she seen a pair of clear white eyes on another human being, or so she at least believed Fox wasn't a faunus. Judging from appearance, but she could have been wrong seeing as the last incident of walking in on Blake and Yang. 'They're not just light colors are they? They're completely white.. Can..Can he see? Ugh..' Weiss slowly and silently got frustrated over the urge to ask about his eye color, however, her father hadn't raised her to be that disrespect so she wouldn't act like she was.
However as a few more minutes ticked by, Fox finally spoke up. "You know you remind me of the little wolf herself." Weiss's eyes widened upon hearing Fox speak up with a smirk on his lips as he glanced over to the heiress. "I might not be able to read minds, but you know, she did the same thing when she first met me, yet unlike you, she clearly questioned them. I've also heard the rumor about Schnee heritages but if I was to be bluntly honest, you don't exactly fit the picture they described." Fox softly chuckled to himself as he noticed the heiress's look turning to of bewilder and insult.
"And what do you mean by that comment?! Look, I don't really know you but if you're gonna ins-" Weiss's voice had been slightly getting shrill and clearly agitated when she suddenly stopped from noticing Fox swiftly raising his index finger up to his lips while slowly closing his eyes with a smile still noticeably present on his lips as well.
"No, you surely remind me of this little wolf we're currently searching for. Would it be much to say that she's rubbed off on a lot of us? Maybe more so than others on a few." Weiss's cheeks gradually began to become a light tinge of red as she lifted up her right fist and awkwardly coughed into it since she hadn't been expecting Fox to somewhat indirectly hint at Ruby rubbing off on her personality before she heard Fox chortle out loud at the red clearly showing up on her cheeks at the assumption. "The little wolf is quite the little social butterfly. Apparently that is." Weiss grunted in embarrassment of being somewhat laughed at before she glanced down to her skirt pocket when noticing her scroll go off.
"I suppose you have a minor point there." Weiss unenthusiastically grumbled under her breath as the light redness to her cheeks gradually faded away as she was promptly lowering her right arm back down to her side upon hearing her scroll go off and gently reached her hand into the side pocket of her skirt and fished out the scroll. 'Who is it now?' Hesitantly lifting up her scroll to her chest, Weiss used her thumb to press down on the side button of her scroll until the screen flashed on and presented the contact name of 'Yang Xiao- Thing two.' The contact name of the Yellow team member caused a small smirk to form on the heiress's lips as she scoffed. 'It's about time this brute responded.'
Weiss lifted up her left hand and gently used it's index finger to tap once at Yang's message box so that the home screen lowered for a moment before reopening up with Yang's entire message, which read. Yang Xiao- Thing two: Ice Queen! Look at this great friendship that we're finally getting somewhere with. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be messaged first. Oddly though I gotta say we're going a bit too fast here. Weiss's blue eyes glared at the message for a few seconds as she tried to process what Yang was joking about before she gripped the phone somewhat tighter in disgust of the idea.
Weiss Schnee: Yang, as much as I'd love to just turn around and go find you so I can slap the sense into you. I'm busy. You should be too. Now please tell me you're responding to my earlier message because you and Blake found Ruby. Weiss partially glanced up towards Fox as Yang's side of the message was typing only to see that he was quietly looking forward still, yet shortly upon looking up, Weiss felt her scroll vibrate in her hand slightly.
Yang Xiao- Thing two: Oh, uhm, well, yeah about that Weiss. You know Professor Peter right? Weiss quizzically glared at her scroll in consideration of merely putting it back into her skirt's pocket instead of dealing with Yang, however, the minor curiosity of why Yang had mentioned one of their Professors caused the heiress to continue to massage to the blonde brute of a teammate.
Deciding that the conversation was already moronic, Weiss simply chose to play along with Yang's shenanigans and responded in the most tedious and dense manner possible. Yet she had also expected the blonde to use her head enough and notice the clear sarcasm used in the text and for her to merely just tell her why it was she mentioned their teacher when all she wanted to know of was of where Ruby had run off to. Weiss Schnee: No Yang, never in my life have I heard of such a man. Do enlighten me in who this mysterious Professor Peter is.
However, as the seconds ticked by and Yang read the message and began to type hers, Weiss couldn't have regretted her decision to play along with Yang more than she did as the three dots signaling Yang typing vanished and a message appeared. Yang Xiao- Thing two: Wellllll, you see Weiss, Professor Peter is a teacher here at Beacon and.. Yang's message stopped there for a full minute before another pair of three dots popped up and signaled Yang was typing again, yet before she could finish the explanation of who their teacher was, Weiss intervened.
Weiss Schnee: Yang, for one, shut up. For two, wow, I expected too much of you obviously. I know who he is for dust sakes! I attend the same school as you under the same teachers as you. Now what I meant finally, is why are you mentioning him when we've got bigger issues?! Please tell me you two got some grounds covered.
Yang Xiao- Thing two: Ouch, feisty as always! And Weiss I don't know why you're making a big deal out of it if Ruby skips one class, she's been doing pretty good in school lately! Butttt, if you insist still on finding your lost "lover," then the reason I mentioned Professor Peter is because me and Blake accidentally ran into him- me quite literally, and he decided it was a great time to tell us tips for the oncoming quiz and his old life and just a bunch of boring stuff! We've been at a stand still for like 10 minutes! Show a brave warrior some love will ya?
Weiss let out a long drawn sigh as she gradually lowered her scroll back down to the skirt pocket that she had originally got it from and used her thumb to gently push down on the button on the side of the scroll before she dropped it into the pocket carelessly. 'Well, they're no longer any help in finding her..' Weiss's shoulders dolefully drooped as she glanced up and over to Fox who was now slightly quirking a brow at her in interest of what had occurred a few seconds ago over the phone, yet after a few seconds of not entirely receiving a direct answer from the heiress herself, Fox spoke up in what sounded as an amusing tone of voice.
"Rough start to the day I presume?" Fox amusingly questioned the heiress with a small impish chuckle as he noticed Weiss promptly nodding her head in defeat of dealing with the pair of odd teammates.
"I suppose if you count having a destructive team leader unsupervisedly roaming the school grounds doing dust knows what while the other half of your team is making "friendly" with the teacher that's most likely going to keep them at a stand still for awhile-" Weiss's ongoing sentence abruptly paused as the heiress took a sharp inhale from attempting to explain everything in one sentence before she looked up to Fox and forced a smile and spoke back in a calmer and softer voice. "Then sure, it's been a rough start to my wonderful morning. Thank you for asking."
Fox's eyes somewhat widened in astonishment for a few seconds since he hadn't been expecting the heiress to respond in such a manner, however, it quickly subsided and his calm demeanor returned, allowing him to gradually close his eyes and give a small sympathetic sigh of understanding what it's like to deal with odd teammates since he occasionally got patted on the butt by Coco with the excuse of having a nice square butt. "Alright, well, I don't mean to ruin the conversation now but," Fox slowly came to a halt while lifting up his left hand as a signal for Weiss to also come to a halt. "It sadly seems we've made it to the library. All I've gotta do is simply drop these books into the return basket and I'm done for the morning. That is until class starts in 15 minutes, which If I'm correct, I'll see you there."
Weiss scrunched her eyebrows down as she watched Fox clumsily lift up his left hand to his chest and reached it down into the small chest pocket of his current shirt, however, she only managed to become even more confused as she noticed a small strange chain being pulled out of his pocket, but what made the necklace even odder was the bunny figure attached to the bottom of the chain. "Hold on, I'm sorry, how am I supposed to find now anyways?! I thought you mentioned having some leads to where she might be?" Fox attempted to use his right finger that had still been holding the books to shush Weiss before he extended the necklace out to Weiss to glared at it.
"Now now, I know a deal is a deal, and this is what I have to offer as a lead. Velvet left it at her bedside this morning when she had rushed to get out of the dorm, and I've seen Ruby with it so I figured this would certainly help you." Fox paused for a minute and gave a sly grin to Weiss who had been looking at him in disbelief of how he set her up to merely waste time. "They're quite close, you must admit, but anyways I honestly need to be on my way now. Coco is waiting on me to help her attend to some matters." As for while Fox had been speaking, he gingerly tossed the necklace over to the heiress who acted out on impulses and snagged the necklace before it could hit the ground with her left hand. "Oh, and when you do find the little wolf, tell her I said to stop by again at our dorm. I haven't seen her in a bit."
Baffled by an odd and sudden sensation of what felt to be an overwhelming warmth that had been minorly been causing her hand to quiver in it's place, Weiss skeptically brought her clutched hand up to her chest and moderately began to move each finger back one by one back until brown shimmering eyes of a rabbit met seemly clear blue. 'Well, he's not exactly wrong, Ruby is close with Velvet- but then again, she's also close with all her friends.. It's nothing out of the ordinary, so, I don't see how he could count this as a lead? It doesn't even look important for the most of! This has to be a complete joke.' Weiss stood there for a few minutes attempting to puzzle together an answer when an abrupt and hefty thud echoed down the hallway for a split second, however, the noise had immediately caused the heiress to snap out of her thoughts and raise her head up on impulse, somewhat startled.
After Fox had finished lowering down the last two books that he had been holding under his right arm down onto the other two that had been in his left, he glanced over his shoulder and noticed the heiress finally glancing up from the necklace he had given her and was giving him quite the startled and confused look. He knew that the heiress would most likely soon demand answers of things, but for at the moment, he had other matters to attend to before all their classes began. There merely was no time for fun riddles and tips, he had enough faith in the heiress to figure it out on her own. "Well Schnee, it was good to finally meet the one person Ruby seems to fancy the most. It also has inclined to me that not all rumors as they seem. We should speak again soon, I enjoyed our time." Fox offered the still silent heiress a whimsical smile with a small yet visibly noticeable appreciative nod for the company she had given him that morning before he gradually reeled around on the ball of his foot and wordlessly began to trek off back in the direction the pair had came from.
Weiss stood there in complete silence as she watched and listened to Fox's slow paced walk as he gradually got further and further down the hallway, yet Weiss had made no effort to call out or chase after the odd man who had seemed to clearly have some form of knowledge of what was going on or even where the faunus's where beings were. A huff progressively exhaled from the heiress's lips as she scowled at her situation she had now found herself in with little time to spare. "Hah..Thanks for the so-called lead then I guess." Weiss grumbled under her breath as she glanced over back towards her right and clutched the rabbit head tighter as she gently gritted her teeth against each other. It was somewhat painful, that itch to be in an area, it was unlike anything she had known.
'There's no time any longer to search for that ridiculous faunus, but- I-I- don't exactly want to make this trip towards the west wing pointless. Otherwise, I'm no better than Yang or Blake in this search.' Weiss paused mid-thought as she leisurely turned on the ball of her foot until she had been entirely facing more further down the west wing. 'Surely I can cover a little bit more of the west wing in 15 minutes. Ruby would essentially do the same for me- not that I would ever do something foolish like this.' Weiss awkwardly closed her free right hand and brought it up to in front of her lips and coughed a little. 'I don't even think that's possible for me, but anyways, I'm stalling, I'm just gonna hurry this up.'
Shortly after making the decision and coming to a uncommon conclusion that she had a sufficient amount of time to explore a few more doors down the hallway, Weiss hastily began to head off further down the desolate hall that had now been somewhat lit up with patches of sunlight shining through the sprawled out windows, causing the heiress to somewhat squint as she watched the room numbers pass by. 'Okay, so there's room 50A, 51A, 52A, and 53A. Now if I'm correct, these are the rooms used for and by science classes, so no real need to search in these since Ruby and I haven't had science classes in our schedule yet..Although Ruby is thrilled they're adding them soon, but, ahem, anyway, next there is 20 B, 54A, 55- wait what? 20B?' As the heiress had been unconsciously slowing down to a sauntering motion to read the signs next to the doors, her eyes had only somewhat managed to mosey over the door numbered 20B, yet it wasn't shortly after that the heiress's blue eyes snapped back over onto the door with number 20B.
Weiss gradually allowed herself to come to a complete standstill a few more doors down from where the distinctive pair of wooden doors had been situated and labeled as number 20B, yet as the heiress had skeptically taken one minor step backwards with her left foot, she turned her upper torso until she had been able to somewhat peer at the bolded door's number and letters from over her shoulder in a scrutinizing manner since they had clearly been out of order from the rest of the doors. 'Door 20B? Is-Is this suppose to be a door numbering mistake? Or perhaps some of the more lower students tampering with the numbers? Tch, If so I'm ashamed to even be classified as a teenager with all these dolts and thick skulled people.' Weiss's brow quirked as she began to haltingly backup one step at a time until she had been stood directly in front of the pair of oak doors that once again caused a familiar sharp and relentless pain in her clenched hand, almost as that of an upbeat and repeated heartbeat. 'Hm.. They look authentic, but then again, if it, why is numbered 20B in the 50A's'
"Agh, this feels worse than that of the headache Yang plus a sugar-fueled faunus does for dust sake, and that's a headache that's extremely unpleasant by itself, so I'm saying a lot by comparison with this being greater." Weiss heavily exhaled a tedious sigh shortly after she had finished grumbling and groaning about the dreadful pain surging through her entire body at that point as she stood there in front of the door, moderately lifting up her right hand towards her face to where it only seemed to barely allow her nose to graze her palm. Her eyes had been shut securely and tightly over a small period of time as the heiress hoped that it would lessen or ease her pain, but as the minutes went on, nothing happened, leaving the heiress to become flustered and distressed, "Hah..What did he do to this necklace? Did I blindly trust too fast? I must admit, Ruby's carefree attitude towards people has been affecting me far too much lately for dust sake." A snort filled the silent hallway as the heiress gradually allowed her left eye to peak open as she took an uncoordinated step forward whilst lifting up her left hand that had been clutched into a fist towards the door's iron push bars and used all her might to push the door inwards, making sure to walk forward into the room with it.
As the heiress impulsively stumbled forward into the new area with the door shielding her from the sudden bright rays of the sun that had been able to clearly shine through the window panes that covered the ceiling, she was greeted by the view of various colored flowers sprawled about through small patches of grass. Yet as the heiress's eyes had managed to scan over the various plants with a decent recognition of the majority, she haltingly removed her left hand from where it had been holding the door open and allowed it to gradually and softly creak shut once more while she continued on a few more steps onto a neatly placed roll of artificial grass that seemed to be more of a path than anything since it was easy to tell it apart from the real grass. "A garden? But why is there a second one in the school when I only thought there was one, and that's the headmaster's private one? It doesn't help my confusion when this one was in between classes?"
The heiress's once flustered and stringent blue colored eyes softened moderately as she spared a small minute to glance up towards the window panes covering the ceiling, revealing to her the vast skies that had been painted with a mix of gray and white clouds that had been steadily moving across the sky in an effortless manner. 'Hm.. I must admit though, It is very beautiful in here. Heh, reminds me of when I was learning archery from one of my father's teachers who thought practicing outside was better than where father thought was best. Scenery was something father had then given up on by then.'' The sudden brief relapse of the heiress's younger years elicited an absentminded chuckle from her as her eyes narrowed for a split second, allowing the once distant and callous stare that she had seemed to rule over many surfaced, however, it had only lasted for a solid minute before a small smile formed on her lips at the realization that her younger self-had actually resembled the wolf faunus more than she had originally thought. They both had excessive amounts of energy that was put into their willpower to strive for something greater, as well as others happiness. 'Hmph, at least I put my energy into something useful, Ruby's just constantly using her's to ball around essentially..' Weiss's thoughts became hindered bit by bit as she quietly pondered and mused of the endless envisions and scenarios of what exactly it was the faunus could be doing or even where it was she was on campus grounds, yet as she stood there in a silent moment, her ears began to become more visually noticeable bright red from the pestering thoughts of how actually charming she had found Ruby's overly happy energy was. 'Ugh..Although I will admit, if Ruby had been just like me, or even someone who treated me the as they all did back home, we would have never really connected if I was to be honest. The life I had wasn't everything you'd expect it to be.'
Shortly after finally admitting to that fact that she had been happy to have met the energetic faunus for who she was, Weiss exhaled a contented sigh before she allowed her eyes to gradually close as she lowered her head back down until she had been back to facing the path in front of her. 'I-I guess one could say that I really do..love..love...her.' Weiss sheepishly huffed and grumbled as she allowed her sentence to trail off from the feeling of her own cheeks beginning to become warm and a light tinge of crimson red that clearly showed on her pale cheeks that the faunus had constantly pecked as an act of thanks when she helped her with school. 'I really.. I.. If I had never met her, despite all the troubles she has given me on a daily basis.. I'd never.' Weiss's breathing became ridge as she haltingly lifted up her right hand to the side of her right cheek and gingerly held it while her eyes moderately opened until they were half lidded and peering at a certain flower that had been entangled in one of the bushes not far from her. The scent of the garden's stimulating and uplifting scent filled the heiress's world as she took a deep breath into attempt to regain control over the swarming thoughts. 'I doubt I'd.. have made it this far if I was to be even more honest. All the allie- no, friends I have made would not exist. I wouldn't even have felt something I haven't felt in a long time.'
Weiss abstractedly began to move forward on the grass carpet that had led forward further down into the excessive amounts of vibrant colors and plants, as if it had been an array of scattered out splats of every color one could have thought existed. Yet the incessant sound of the grass crunching under the heiress's feet filled the still and silent air as she approached a decently sized bush that had upheld many more vibrantly colored flowers that had looked as if they had just bloomed recently, however, the plants residing in the bush hadn't concerned the heiress as she finally had made it to front of the bush and came to a halt, despite how enticing and appealing they had all seemed, it was only one certain flower that had managed to catch the heiress's interest. 'A single rose appeared in a bush full of other colors, yet not one of these are as crimson and tainted in color as you. You surely do stand out…' Weiss solemnly peered down at the vividly crimson rose before she finally allowed a smile to form on her lips at an idea that had appeared in her mind. "Ahem, excuse me, but would you mind if I took you away from this blend of colors and told you my one gratitude?" She softly murmured to the flower as if it had been a person itself, yet promptly after finishing her sentence in a soft and considerate tone, she chuckled at how utterly childish and absurd she had been being in that instance when she had usually chastised the duo of sisters for worse issues than having conversations with a flower. "Haah, I'm sorry. I'm not exactly myself today so you'll have to forgive me. As well as essentially for using you as a confession booth. I'm just not exactly use to showing this side to a lot of people."
During the time that the heiress had been speaking to the rose as if it had been something customary and ordinary, she began to collectively lower both that of her right and left hand down to her upper thighs to grasp on as she somewhat crouched down with a small grunt until she had been able to see the rose's bud face to face. However, not once did the heiress's eyes stray away from the petals that had seemed as if somewhat had watered them sometime short ago. 'Hmm..' Weiss stayed stationary whilst crouched down in front of the rose with a scrutinizing stare that would have made even that of a tree feel a bit awkward, however, the heiress's stare only progressively got more intense as she squeezed her thighs from attempting to think of how exactly she was planning on saying what she wanted, yet ultimately, she finally moved her right hand from her thigh and hesitantly reached out her arm until she had been able to gently grasp the rose's stem in between her index finger and thumb.
"Truth be told? I-I truly don't mind the way she is anymore. It's a simple notion but it's always something I can look forward to the next day because, whilst all of her of her ridiculous shenanigans and antics might be way off, I.." Weiss's sentence came to an abrupt pause as she softly chuckled at the choice of words she had used in attempt to explain what she wanted to say in one go before she finally began to tighten her grip on the rose's stem that had been entangled within the bush's hold and tugged at it until it snapped the top half from the bottom, allowing her the ability to steadily lift up the rose up towards her chest. "I-I feel I've evaded this topic for long enough now, and it certainly no longer too much to admit and accept the fact that I've fallen In love with a faunus that I know won't work out with in the long run.. As much as I hate to admit it, I fear one day this'll all end. We don't live in a fairy tale and things happen.. But before they do, I want to say that I love her in front of everyone at the dance so I can just get over my fears that father enforced on me.." Weiss momentarily became silent as she repeatedly rolled the stem of the rose back and forth in a twirl like motion in between her fingers for a couple of seconds as if she had to recollect her thoughts before speaking. "Same for everyone else I've met, but then again, this is a person who's enshrouded with issues. It's just.. Thoughts.. I have far more weakness than I'd like to acknowledge, and If I was even more honest, I'm just a weak person in this situation.." Weiss's shoulders gradually drooped as she gripped onto the rose's stem tighter without the regards of the thorns aligned on it bit by bit now digging into her palm.
However, shortly after deciding that enough had been conceded and heard, the heiress's once contentful and clear blue eyes began to give off a murky colored mix of blue and gray as she peered down at the rose in complete silence, yet it hadn't been as if it was the issue of telling such things to a flower that had brought on the sudden somber and heavy atmosphere around her, but instead it was actually hearing the truth from herself that had caused such devastation. 'It's not like I wanted to be weak.. Recovery just isn't a thing still.. If I had courage I could do something for her- no, for everyone, nothing would be like this.'
'Be that or not, whether you had courage and bravery now or then, you can't stop life from moving, no matter how bad it'll get, you can only adjust. Now about what you had just said, my foolish mate. I agree with you, you're unquestionably weak. Not only is it noticeable from your aura, but also your soul seems to be despondent. Maybe there are reasons for why it's this unstable, but for that to be answered can only be from you, so for now since you've taken quite a bit of my time when we certainly have bigger issues at hand, you shall answer my question.' Weiss's entire body promptly tensed up upon hearing the unsettling gruffy voice whisper into that of her left ear as if it had been hovering over her shoulder whilst causing cold and painful jolts to spike up her spine, leaving only in its trail an ominous feeling of the unknown. Yet as the heiress's murky mix colored eyes glanced left and right in a frantic motion in search of any sign that could have told her who it was behind her, her eyes only gradually began to become even wider from putting together the facts that there was something, or someone standing behind her and that she needed to act immediately from whatever it was giving off a menacing vibe, however, it hadn't been long before she gritted her teeth together in frustration and decided that elaborate ideas were out of the question. She needed to act fast.
Nonetheless though, it hadn't taken the heiress long to think up a scheme that could have bought her a little time to prepare a greater deal of attacks on whatever it was behind her, and she hastily allowed the rose to drop out from her grip and onto the now bloodied grass before swiftly twisting her body as she swung her right palm over towards her left shoulder, yet the price of acting out on such quick and heedless defense attacks, Weiss's footing on the ground gave out and caused her entire body to flop over down onto the ground while she activated a decently sized glyph with the hope that it had sent whoever was behind her flying back, however, as soon as the heiress's eyes had managed to look over where her glyph was, she had saw nothing but her own blood tainted glyph. "Eh?! Wha-what?!"
"Hm, that attack was a little reckless do you not agree, Weiss? Especially from all the notes I've made of you. I expected our mate to be more thoughtful and accommodating than this, it's shameful to another generation of our kind, but then again, for now, it's not in my interest to go against her anymore since you are the one who she seems to fancy, so I'll try to be as 'gentle' as 'humanly' possible." Weiss impulsively shut her eyes as tightly as she possibly could as tears began to form in the corners of both of her eyes from the sudden agonizing pain returning in full force, causing her posture to gradually slacken in submission towards the demanding creature that had long since by then successfully clung to the back of her neck. "Ah, although the memories and blood of that of something that is neither beast nor human is very filling.. It certainly is a pleasure to finally meet you. Although we won't exactly talk about this topic now since you seem unstable with your mother's side. Instead, we shall go find my body and soul and fix this mistake that has been created within my shall only take a second so let's get up and go.'
A distressed and weary whimper eventually managed to bypass the heiress's attempts at being silent as she reluctantly began to open her eyes bit by bit in a slow and feeble manner until it had completely revealed the now pair of tainted shadowy gray eyes that had seemed to show off a mirthful and amused expression as the heiress's tears from earlier finally began to trail down her cheeks from the pain. "Why are you acting like you know me?! And just what are you even talking about?!" Weiss perilously strained out in a quiet voice in attempt to conceal the soft sobs that were causing her sentences and breathing to become broken apart and ragged, yet as she sat there surrounded in sheer pitch blackness, she watched as her body begin to uncontrollably turn her right hand the had been keeping the glyph activate moderately towards the side while slowly allowing her pinky finger and ring finger to close, causing the once clear blue glyph to gradually turn to the same close black as her surrounding before her hand swiftly closed and caused the glyph to shatter outwards before slowly degenerating into nothing. "Grr..What is it you want.."
"Can you not pip it down in there? I'm benefiting the both of us right now, and if you want to be useful in saving us, be my host for a minute.. I know we're not suitable for sharing bodies and it's physically going to exhaust you, but if I didn't do this I would have vanished..It's why packs are important in this world.." Haltingly the heiress's hands finally began to lower back down onto the grass beside her body and slowly began to push down on the ground in order to help them push up off the spot they had originally been sitting in for the past few minutes. "I must use more of your energy and aura.. You might feel a bit more pain than earlier so bare with me for just a moment and it'll be over soon." As the duo's body had been back on their feet and stood upright, the heiress's right hand lifted up slightly and activated another black glyph below their feet, however, the sudden activation of something that Weiss had not used in a long time had caused for the heiress's aura to spike unstably outwards before an agonized gasp followed after a couple of the heiress's whimpers and shortly after activating the glyph, Weiss's entire aura shut down and allowed the heiress to become unconscious finally. Yet even then, the pain of the heiress hadn't gone unnoticed by the being. "Well, our meeting was short and not as planned, so forgive me for this reckless choice.. But now it's over, and you can help when you're awake. I'll get the others, so for now, rest well."
A troubled smile formed on the heiress's lips as they nimbly snapped their fingers together and activated the glyph into its full release, causing misty black shadows to gradually raise from that of the glyph and began to enshroud the duo's entire body in a black blanket, yet not once did the heiress's eyes stray from the rose laid out on the grass covered in the blood of his mate. "Well, I'll see you soon you foolish Ox. Don't die or give into any other person's control so soon! We still aren't the best and we still need a future." Immediately after cheerfully saying the last thing he could, the glyph and duo shattered out and faded away into the air, allowing the once silence of the atmosphere to reclaim the area's air.
15 minutes later further down into the garden- Memory route 1/sound- Name: Weiss Schnee- Location: Unknown
"Wha-what? Where are we? Wai-Ouch! Ugh, why does it hurt to move my legs so much right now? Hmm.. Dangit, it's far too dark to see anything, but man, what's that stench? It's suffocating me from how strong it is in here, It smells like a mix of copper and I think gas? Hey, si-eh? Hey? Are you okay over there? I see your outline and you're not saying or doing anything? … … … Come on now, why are you not moving anymore? We've gotta get out of here! Something feels off! Come on, dad and mom are waiting for us to return.. … … … Please say something to me, I can't do this alone..It's getting hot in the car.. Please.."
Memory route 1/sound end- Name: Weiss Schnee
"Wake up please!" Weiss sniveled out in an emphatic voice as she promptly sat up as quickly as she could with her right hand tightly grasping the front of her shirt that had been raising and lowering quickly from the rapid and brisk heartbeat as she stared impassively at the trees ahead of her with irregular breathing. However, Weiss had managed to quickly get snapped out of her somewhat dazed state as she felt her left clutched hand graze the side of something familiarly fluffy and soft, causing the heiress to skeptically quirk a brow as she gradually began to turn her head over towards her left where she had felt the soft fur, only to be met with the sight of the faunus's still body sprawled out on her stomach motionlessly while there had been a small splatter of blood in front of the faunus's body as well. "Huh?" The heiress uttered in a bewildered tone as she blinked a couple of times while her eyes peered down at the body that been barely moving in any manner. There had been no breathing, no moving, no noises, just complete stillness, and silence. Yet as she second's ticked by and the realization that something was off had arisen in Weiss's thoughts, she immediately acted out on instinct to help. "Ruby?!"
Rationalization and the brief apprehension of where it had been that she ended up at quickly fleeted from the heiress's thoughts as she scrambled carelessly towards the faunus's side once more, only to this time reach out both of her hands towards the faunus's right shoulder so she could gently grasp it and tug at it back towards her direction until the faunus had turned onto her back and allowed Weiss the sight of the faunus's closed eyes and pained expression that had been such as a spear to her heart. "For dust sake don't you dare leave me with this kind of thing you idiot.. Open your eyes..I don't want to remember how it felt again Ruby." As the heiress impatiently listened to the silence that seemly had an unshakable and firm hold on the atmosphere around the duo, she gritted her teeth in attempt to refrain from tearing up for a second time that day since even she had limits on how much she would allow to transpire all in the course of one mere day. Yet as the scowl on her face gradually became more noticeable, Weiss's right-hand hand already been moving towards the faunus's right cheek whilst she leaned her entirely upper body downwards until she had been gently resting her forehead against the faunus's.
"I thought we were going to the dance together, and then turn your back and just allow something like this to happen?" A pensive chuckle softly resounded in the air as Weiss's right hand finally gently popped the faunus's right cheek once in order to let even that of the motionless faunus know she despised being done wrong such as this, yet all her attempts had seemed to be failing as she felt her vision getting blurry. "I guess I'm steadily turning into you getting upset like this lately, it's ridiculous. And here I thought you were goofing off today to skip class.."
Weiss waited silently for a few minutes before hesitantly allowing her eyes to close as she lifted up her right hand and gently tucked the loose strands of hair that had been sitting on her shoulder behind her ear as she began to lean further down towards the faunus's body until she was feebly pressing her lips against hers for a few seconds before she felt a tear finally managing to trail down her cheek onto Ruby's and a whimper forcing its way from her throat. However, as a few minutes passed by, Weiss had abruptly felt something fluffy and soft gently rubbing against her leg repeatedly in a ticklish manner, causing the heiress to somewhat squirm in her place in frustration before she finally began to open her eyes a little until they had been half lidded and staring back into another's pair of reddish brown eyes the clearly betrayed drowsiness and confusion of what was happening. Yet shortly after realizing that Ruby had been staring back at her while she had been pressing her lips against her, a deep and crimson color formed on her cheeks as she promptly sat up with her right hand covering her lips in embarrassment and humiliation.
However, Weiss hadn't been the only person who had become embarrassed and flabbergasted by the sudden kiss that the heiress had given on the note of sorrow and remorse. But instead had inflicted the most shock and confusion to the faunus who was sprawled out on her back with her mouth opening and closing in attempt to speak or even form a coherent sentence, yet all that the faunus had been able to correctly do at that moment was mumble with wide eyes while Weiss stayed sat next to her with her thoughts doing complete flips and turns in effort to understand everything that was going on around her. 'Alright, so everything is turning to a mess of confusion! First, her eyes a minute ago? And secondly, how is she moving when she wasn't even breathing earlier?! How did I even find her?! Agh, you know what? My head is killing me now! I take my earlier quote back, this girl is inhumanly hard to deal with the majority of the time..'
As Weiss's shoulders drooped down in utter defeat of not knowing the answers to that of her own questions, she decided to see if the faunus could help her get a grasp of what had been going on and spared a small glance over towards her left where the faunus had been steadily sitting up with a small yawn while her ears twitched upright in place a few times. Yet as the faunus's attention eventually went over towards the heiress who was attentively glaring at her as if she had done something wrong, Weiss noticed that her once reddish brown eyes had subsided back to their normal grayish colors while a sheepish smile was on her lips as she nervously chuckled and used her left hand to rub at the back of her messy hair. "Heh..hehe.. So uh, good morning Weiss? You uhm, seem very lovely today and very I won't pop Rubyish you know? An-Huh? Wait, why are you crying and is that blood?! Hey! What happened?!"
"Eh? What do you mean why am I crying? I'm not crying, I'd know if I was." Weiss abashedly grumbled under her breath as the faunus had been steadily shifting in her spot until she was able to criss-cross both her legs and intently peer at the heiress with a worried expression clearly betraying, one that had caused Weiss to quirk a brow as she noticed the faunus lifting up her left hand to the side of her cheek and gently tapping at it as if signaling for her to check herself since she clearly had seemed to show skepticism to her claim. "Ruby I'm no-" Weiss's eyebrows scrunched down as she glared at the faunus who had been now pouting and poking at her cheeks a little bit harder with lowered ears, eliciting a flustered groan from the heiress who finally decided that she'd do what the faunus wanted to make her stop making the weird faces. "Ugh, fine! Just stop making a fool of yourself. I assure you I'm fine." Weiss chided the faunus softly as she began to gingerly lift up her entire right hand to the side of her cheek where she then used her index finger and middle finger to gently touch at her cheek, only to then immediately realize that it had been damp from the tears slowly streaming down her cheek "What?"
As the heiress's face became one of confusion and puzzlement, she skeptically lowered her right hand back down and brought it towards the middle of her chest so she could see the tears that had now partially dampened her fingertips. "Oh, now I remember.." Weiss abstractedly stated out loud as she moderately closed her fingers so that her index finger and middle finger hand been rubbing back and forth against her thumb while her mind began to gradually space out, however, before the heiress could have completely spaced and stopped focusing on the matter at hand, her thoughts had gotten interrupted from the faunus's incessant snickering from how adorable she had found Weiss's childlike dazed face to be. Yet when Weiss had glanced up and noticed the faunus snickering, her face only became even more florid from thinking that Ruby had been laughing at her for crying like she had been. "Hu-huh? Eh?! H-Hey! Stop laughing at me like that you dunce! Something just got in my eyes trying to find you earlier okay!"
The heiress's expression gradually began to become even more flustered and flushed as she noticed the faunus's snickering had become even more louder as she used her right hand to tightly clutch at her stomach with the hope that it would have help cease her consistent laughter that had seemed to be quite the pain to get rid of from Weiss's expression only becoming more disoriented and unusual. "I'm sorry Weiss, I just-well, it's just that I've truly never seen you give off such a mellow vibe and show any of us your entire emotional side so no matter what the reason is you might be for tearing up, it alright! I'm not gonna make fun of you! Although I will point out how cute your dazed face can be!" Chirped the faunus in a sheepish manner as she offered Weiss a small considerate smile since she had long since noticed that the heiress's once keen and sharp blue eyes had now softened and gave off a humane feel towards them as they stared back into her gray ones, causing the faunus's breathing to gradually become hindered as she gulped from the sudden silence that had begun to enshroud the pair, however, after a few more seconds of the pair not moving from their spots, Weiss hastily glanced down without any regards for the loose strands of hair gradually falling off her shoulder and concealing the her face from the faunus's view as she lifted up that of both of her tightly clutched hands to her face and gently began to wipe away the tears. "Err..Weiss? Did I say something wrong?"
"Hmph, of course you did.. When isn't there a time that you aren't saying the wrong things to me you dolt?" Grumbled Weiss in an impassive tone as she eventually managed to finish cleaning her face with the back of her clutched hands such as a child would before she hesitantly lowered both of her hands back down onto the grass and spared a glance up towards the faunus whose ears had been lowered as she used her flippers to clutch at her legs with puffed out cheeks and a flustered expression that had caused the heiress to chuckle a little with a smile forming on her lips. Yet upon hearing the heiress's soft and sweet laughter, as well as the humane smile that had form on her lips, Ruby's mind repeatedly blanked out as she silently watched as she Weiss pushed down on the ground beside her as she began to leisurely stand up with a now calmer expression still betraying on her face. "Now, however, since I've found you we can finally talk about your punishment on the way to the dorms as well since you enjoy being such a troublesome child. Oh, and I was originally going to give this back to you but I think you deserve to wait for it now."
Ruby once flushed and mirthful expression soon became bleak and startled as she noticed the heiress's once mellow and normal tone of voice becoming alarmingly joyful as she began to list out the many punishments that were possible candidates for what she would receive later for causing such a commotion that morning when the truth be it, she honestly didn't even remember how she had ended up there. Yet what had caused the faunus's attention to become even more focused was as Weiss finally allowed a familiar rabbit shaped head to drop out from the bottom of her clenched hand and dangle around a few times before coming to a standstill. "Wait a minute?! Where did you get that! I swore I lent it to..Err..grr..Just come on Weiss! You can punish me later, just lemme have that back!" Ruby gritted her teeth together impatiently as she prepared her confined aura and semblance for one mere release of bursted energy before swiftly lowering both of her flippers down to the ground and used them to help her jump up from the spot she had been sitting in and activated her aura's built up energy and bolted over towards where the heiress had been dangling the charm, yet just before Ruby had the chance to snag the charm from her hand, Weiss back stepped a few steps and allowed the faunus to clumsily dart past her, only to promptly come to a halt as she reeled around and clutched her flippers in frustration now. "Weissss, come on! Gimme! It's important!"
"Tch, you should know that no means no from me Ruby, and I've done told you that you're gonna have to be patient with getting this back, however if you choose to still be stubborn and impatient with this partial punishment, I'll give you two of my own generous choices of who this necklace will belong to for a couple of days." Ruby's ears roused about a few times above her head as she peered attentively at the heiress with squinted eyes since she knew something was off from the fact that the heiress had never been the one to allow something to slide past her without some kind or form of trick to it, yet still instead of completely accepting the defeat over the loss of the charm, Ruby reluctantly nodded her head as a signal for Weiss to list the two choices she could have had, causing the heiress's smirk to grow even wider than before. "Your first choice is pretty simple in fact, see, I give you complete possession over this necklace right here once more right now with no tricks tied to it, but, then I'm afraid your punishment would then involve me going on a hmm.. What was it that you had told one day for not getting along with a brute who had been the one who punched me for something you did? Hm, I do believe you told me you'd go on a strike so it's only fair that I'd try your little game that you played and show you truly how to give a person the cold shoulder. Although tell me, does it not ring a familiar bell to you, my dear leader?" Weiss inquired humorously as she watched the faunus lift up her flipper slightly as if she a retort against the mention of her strike with Blake, yet then immediately allowed her hand to drop back down to her side and sighed dejectedly, earning a smirk from Weiss as she reeled around on the ball of her foot and began to trek off towards the familiar trail. "As I thought though. Your second choice was to just accept your defeat in this conversation and come along quietly, but it seems you've already picked your choice so let's get a move on it Ruby, Yang and Blake are somewhere dealing with an issue and we sadly need to go assist them."
Yet shortly after the heiress had gotten a small distance away from the silent faunus who was rigidly standing attentively for the sake of Weiss's approval, Ruby posture gradually slackened as a tedious sigh finally managed to exhale from her lips from having this displeasure of actually witnessing one of the heiress's sweet yet bitter moments. Yet even then Ruby hadn't been entirely sure of what had caused the heiress to become so stressed and demanding of her when it wasn't her who had been to one too wake up to many surprises and confusions, but nonetheless, after deciding that sulking and whining wouldn't have helped her figure out what had been the problem with her teammate, Ruby began to trudge forward after the heiress with moderately faltered ears and tucked tail that clearly showed obedience for the one she cared for's wishes as well as her own worries for her mate's sanity. But even then after having came to the conclusion that it would have been best to just stay quiet until the heiress's stressed state had diminished out a little bit, Ruby had also came to the minor conclusion that she had to at least get some form of answers out of the heiress so it wasn't as if she had been sitting in the dark for vain. "Hey, Weiss.." She softly called out to the heiress who impulsively hummed in acknowledgment of the faunus's call and signaled for her to continue speaking. "What actually was your reasoning for crying earlier anyway? That is if you don't mind me asking as a lover than anything else.. It's just not like you to seem so frantic like this, and to be honest, I'm worried, Weiss.."
Ruby's ears roused about through the messy black and red tresses underneath the costume she had been wearing uponing hearing the faint yet clearly wretched chuckle from the heiress as she began to slow her pace each step at a time until it had been to the point where she completely came to a stand still in the middle of the pathway, leisurely rolling the charm back and forth between her fingers in order to attempt to gather the scattered thoughts that had been carelessly tossed about out through the morning. Yet as she recollected the memory and explanation of the majority of her sorrow during that moment, she swiftly closed her hand around the charm's rabbit head and unconsciously began to release excessive amounts of aura that had caused even Ruby to gulp from the sudden waver in her own aura. "I..I truly don't know, and even if I did, I couldn't make it into one specific reason and answer. Not now that is, but maybe sometime later when I resolve my other problems I'll be able to give you the answer to why I cried. So until that time, could you wait a little longer?" Weiss's blue eyes slightly glanced towards over towards the left as she partially turned her upper body to Ruby's direction behind her only to notice the understanding smile that had been on the faunus's lips as she meekly gave her a nod, as well as a thumbs up. "Thank you, Ruby.. I mean it, it truly means alot to me that you never pressure me for stuff." Weiss tenderly muttered as she somewhat praised the faunus's overused kindness only to watch as the faunus's mirthful smile widen as she struck a dramatic pose for the heiress with a wink, causing for a blush to form on the heiress's face as she rolled her eyes at Ruby's childishness.
However, after the faunus had finished up doing a couple more dramatic poses for the heiress who had been watching the faunus in amusement and interest, Ruby's eyes eventually managed to notice a group of familiar faces gradually approaching the pair from behind Weiss's back with sheep and meek expressions on their faces from having walked in on the pair's so-called 'romantic' moment once again. Yet as the heiress quizzically quirked a brow from the startled and shocked expression of where the faunus had been looking at, she glanced back over to in front of them only to notice Nora and Velvet waving mirthfully at them while a loud and boisterous voice yelled out from behind team JNPR before gradually pushing their way out between Ren and Nora and revealed the blonde brute who then back to quickly dart out towards the pair with extended arms, but it hadn't been that-that had caused both Weiss and Ruby to become confused and lost of what was going on, yet instead it had been for the fact that the blonde had been charging at them in her normal school uniform instead of the dragon costume. "Ruby! Weiss! So this is where you two have been skipping out at! Although before we get on that topic, come here Ruby!" Yang mirthfully shouted as she began to dash even quicker than she had been towards the faunus who immediately realized that Yang had no intention on stopping her charge towards her and she swiftly lifted up both of her flippers with a panicked squeal before reeling around on the ball of her foot and waddling off as fast as her legs could go in order to make an attempt to save her life.
Yet nevertheless though, as Ruby's enververted gray eyes frantically darted about through the various items and plants scattered close by within the vicinity of her current area, her thoughts impulsively had been sent into a spiral as ideas of how exactly she could have used her limited surrounds to her best in hope of a decent escape from the blonde's targeting lilac colored eyes that had been burning intently into the back of her head. While leaving the consistent and enclosing sound of the blonde's boots softly crunching into the grass as a timed reminder that she needed to think of something quick. "Y-Yang, please, as much as I'd absolutely just love to stop running away from having my bones destroyed to hug you since I'm pretty sure we didn't hug this morning.. I'm gonna have to politely reject this offer since I can't miss out on the combat training later like Weiss later from an injury! I-I'm really so-"
As if almost instantaneously after Ruby had concluded the majority of her explanation to why she had been even running away from the blonde's charging bull hug, her ears rigidly froze upright when the once consistent sound of her sister's boots crunching softly down into the grass had immediately stopped somewhere a decent distant behind her before any apology could be said, leaving the once noisy atmosphere to become abnormally silent from everyone. Yet instead of feeling relief that Yang had possibly given up the extremely exhausting chase, her expression became one of that of a petrified child as she began to hesitantly glance over her left shoulder to the two girls who had now been stood side by side with flaring aura's that had intimating and eerie vibes as they glared at the faunus, eliciting a small and feeble whimper as she immediately began to regret her choice of words for the situation that she had now once again dug herself in with no escapes. "I mean..Well, see, I believe in living today, tomorrow, or just anytime general, so... Heh..Run faster! It's every faunus for themselves! It's life or death now and I long since chose life! I'm too young!"
Gradually, the once confused and yet intrigued cerulean colored eyes began to sharply narrow out shortly upon hearing the faunus's cries of reasoning within the decent sized distance in between the trio's standpoint on the trail and the faunus's standpoint, almost promptly eliciting a small and prolonged sigh of both disappointment and agitation from the reminder that she wouldn't have been able to participate in their combat training as of later. Yet it had also been from the fact that the faunus had carelessly spoke without the regards of either of her opponents semblances. "I've told you before Ruby, whatever sisterly issues you've two somehow manage to bring up over sheer ridiculousness.. Do not involve me in the dispute or conversation! I've been thrown into too many of you two's issues and was merely a scapegoat. Take responsibility and stop now."
Subsequently after having finished hollering out her composed and unusually controlled scolding towards the faunus who had been still attempting to escape the duo's ruthless and inhumane partnership in fighting, Weiss swiftly lifted her right hand while turning her palm up to the glass ceiling of the area until a glyph summoned directly under the faunus's footing in a light shade of clear blue, immediately activating with a violent spin of the entire glyph until it had flung the faunus twirling backwards up in the air towards the pair. However, the sudden and violent act of having been running one minute, only to being flung backward into the air the next hadn't gone fully unnoticed as the entire group watched the faunus frantically flail her flipper awkwardly while attempting to recover her balance in the air with her semblance. Yet neither of the pair had any intentions of actually allowing their leader to either fall to the ground, or recover, and with that intention in mind, Yang impulsively lifted up her right hand with a snap of her thumb and middle finger before giving the heiress a strong thumbs up without even offering to spare a glance over to her as she sighed and moderately rolled her eyes upon watching the blonde brute dash off towards the falling faunus.
Which shortly after having watched the blonde brute heedlessly dart off towards the direction of the spiraling faunus who's squeals loudly echoed out through the building's interior, Weiss felt that of a familiar and compassionate hand gently pat at her shoulder in an attempt to obtain her attention, yet without even sparing a second thought or even any thoughts in the first place, Weiss impulsively began to turn her head over towards the left to see what exactly it was that they had needed of her. Yet upon turning her entire head towards their direction, Weiss's eyes immediately locked onto the amber colored eyes of their second team member Blake, who was offering the usual meek and collected smile as she had always done within the past few months when gaining her friends attentions. "So," She spoke up in amused and soft voice when noticing that the heiress had acknowledged her presence. "I see you've managed to find her quicker than any of us as always; what's the trick? Ruby radar? Because while I don't fully mean to come off rude as of now, I'm almost positive you've not ever been the person to take casualties such as exploring gardens like this before."
Weiss scoffed indignantly as she lifted up both her arms and tightly crossed them over each other and turned slightly more towards the cat faunus's direction with the full intent of correcting her on the claim that she couldn't 'ever' enjoy the simplicities such as taking as roving aimlessly through a garden since she might have done such things if not for finding that she had more important matters to attend to. Moreover, before the heiress even had the chance to amend the faunus's cheeky claim of her unable to enjoy such normal or bland things, both Weiss and Blake impulsively turned their heads over towards the direction where the loud and hard thud against the ground resounded from the siblings having collided into each other when Yang had attempted to jump up into the air in order to catch Ruby and land when she suddenly got flung off the trail into a pile of bushes with the faunus. "Ouch! Yang! What were you- wait, Y-Yang? What are you doing with that weird loooo-a-ack! Stop! That tickles! Uncle! Uncle! Help!"
A soft and sluggish sigh forcibly exhaled from the heiress's lips as she felt her shoulders progressively beginning to droop downwards in utter humiliation of evening being considered a part of the sibling's uncanny team before she finally redirected her attention back over towards the cat faunus who had been also given a look of disappointment in the two siblings. "Well, to be completely honest with you at this point in time though Blake, not even I have the answers you're seeking to that question anymore since I'm not quite that sure how I even managed to find her myself..It just.." Silence shortly after having allowed her sentence to trail off regained the atmosphere around the pair as Blake quizzically quirked her brow as she glanced back over towards the heiress's direction in utter apprehension of why the once pridefulness that clearly seeped from the heiress's voice had wavered, yet upon looking back in Weiss's direction, she noticed that the heiress's expression had seemed entirely unfocused for a split second before it was quickly gone. "How did Yang get out of that costume?"
Blake hesitantly began to open her mouth as if she had been about to speak up and investigate the matter further when she noticed the heiress's eyes had still been slightly diverted away from her's as if she hadn't been thoroughly telling the entire truth of the matter, yet upon taking note of the heiress's immediate discomfort in discussing the sudden topic, she immediately sighed and closed her mouth in order to regather her thoughts. "Well, you know Ruby. She's rambled about this area from time to time during our times out together on 'faunus' adventures or whatnot, and I had figured this was a possible candidate for where she had run off to so I investigated." Blake offered a meek smile to the heiress as she had ultimately begun to refocus her attention back to her as if not completely sold by the entire story, yet before she could have vocally declared that she hadn't been completely understanding of how she found the pair, Blake continued. "Now as to how Yang's free from that annoying costume, while we had been talking to the professor as you know, Velvet had quite literally ran into Yang and afterwards began to confusedly question why she was wearing it. She ended up finding the source of our troubles."
For a mere split second, Weiss nimbly glanced past the cat faunus's shoulder over towards Velvet's direction only to notice that the bunny faunus had been rigidly holding onto a binder tightly to her chest with her ears lowered back as the members of JNPR chatted back and forth while Jaune had been also trying to involve her into their conversation. Yet when glancing back towards Blake, she noticed that a sheepish expression had begun to show on her face, causing the heiress to feel slightly unnerved. "And what might that be Blake?"
"Well, as odd as this was and I must admit most likely had been time-consuming to do, someone had infused frozen dust particles in between the strings of the costume. Luckily enough, Velvet was well educated in seeking out dust, although the downside is uh.." Weiss scrunched her eyebrows down as she noticed Blake prolonging the last bit of her explanation of how exactly Yang had gotten out of the dragon costume, yet before either of them could speak or say anything, the wolf faunus's loud and panicked yelp caused both them freeze in their tracks before hearing the sound of cloth being ripped open and tossed onto the bush. "We found out the after that they fall off pretty fast, now imagine having to deal with that in the middle of a nearly full hallway.." Weiss momentarily stiffened as she felt her cheeks beginning to heaten up and show off a deep crimson color to her cheeks while her eyes gradually broadened in absolute horror of what Blake had just said. "I can't say it wasn't entirely a pleasant surprise, but definitely at the wrong time."
"Are you telling me you two basically flashed other students?! Please for the love of dust tell me you didn't actually do that and that this is just a joke Yang put you up to, because if it isn't I swear I will so help me backhand Yang without mercy!" Blake's amber eyes gradually began to dimin as she noticed and felt team JNPR's attention slowly beginning to redirect in the duo's direction in confusion of the sudden fuss, yet Weiss's voice only continued to become more shrill when not being reassured that it was merely a joke since she had felt nothing but complete disbelief that the three had possibly flashed half of the students and added more of a reputation on their team's name when she suddenly got interrupted by the blonde's boisterous voice announcing the finishing touched to the faunus in a cheeky tone before promptly stumbling up to her feet with the limp and pale faunus dangling from the ground from having Yang's hands tightly holding her up into the pair by under her arms.
"I once more gladly behold the great and mighty team mascot and team leader of RWBY! Ruby herself!" Yang softly began to snicker from behind the limp faunus shortly after having finally fit a joke of the entire time being named RWBY before she noticed both Weiss and Blake, along with the other members of their once group turning their heads towards their direction slightly startled. Yet as Ruby dangled in the air motionlessly, her ears stayed firmly lowered back into the messy black locks of her hair in embarrassment for being held up like a child by her sister, along with the other things that had occurred from behind the bush. "This adorable little pup is finally ready for her first leading announcements ever. They truly do grow up way too fast." Blake quietly sighed as she slightly rolled her eyes when hearing the blonde sibling forge a couple of sniffles, yet after that her ears began to twitch from under the bow as she felt Ruby's weak aura.
Pleading and immersed gray eyes that had belonged to the wolf faunus peered intently in the direction towards both the heiress and cat faunus while weakly flaring up her aura in order to gain the complete attention of both her packmates with the high hopes that one of them actually would subdue the blonde sibling from possibly flinging her off into the distance from how much she had been swaying her dangling body up off the ground. 'Haah.. Someone, please make Yang put me down.. I feel physically sick from all this motion and swaying since I only honestly woke up a few minutes ago.' Ruby continued to weakly flare her aura as much as possible in order to attempt at keeping the connection towards the other two faunus within the area going while the normal whine to her voice had still managed to seep even through her aura, immediately eliciting a reaction from the cat faunus who had been softly chuckling under her breath as she nodded her head in agreement to assist her leader. While the heiress enveratedly groaned as she lifted up her right hand from tucked under her left arm only to gently pinch in between her eyes from having a headache form over the entire issue that the morning had brought on.
However, unlike the heiress who had desired to simply stay out of the sibling's normal yet ridiculous shenanigans, Blake had the full intention to carry out the task of assisting her leader before her own partner possibly had the chance to toss the faunus off into the distance where it would most likely take longer than needed to find her once more. "Alright Yang, you've had your fun but I do believe we've all wasted more than a good amount of time goofing off. We're all on a timed schedule to be at the front of the school in a few minutes so why don't you put your sister don't so we can explain what's going to happen within these two weeks before the dance?" Blake's soft and yet somber voice had almost instantly snagged the blonde's attention as she reluctantly glanced over to the other group who had been nodding their head in agreement before a mischievous grin formed on the blonde's lips as she began to lower her sister's feet back down to the ground while both Ruby and Weiss apprehensively tilted their heads over the fact that they had still been left completely in the dark as to why team JNPR and Velvet had been with both Yang and Blake in the first place.
"Okay, I don't want to sound that rude or anything of the sort but uhm, will someone actually please tell me what's going on?! I woke up literally almost about 10 minutes ago only to one find I'm in a garden, two, Weiss was there but it was really confusing and now there's you guys which is even more confusing!" As Ruby's feet finally touched the ground, she immediately pointed out her left flipper towards team JNPR who all had lifted up their fingers and pointed to their chest in confusion as well as to why the wolf faunus had pointed at them with her cheeks puffed out since while it might have been an occasional thing to wake up in a strange area from the single fact that she was the younger sister to Yang, but all she truly desired to do in that moment was find a glass of milk, drink it to help clear her mind and then go to class to possibly nap. It had been too much of another long and abnormal morning for her.
However, before the faunus had any more chances to speak up or pout about wanting to go, both team RWBY and JNPR all turned their head to Velvet as they heard her speak up in a slightly timid voice since she might have been somewhat use to both Ruby and Blake, but she was still somewhat nervous to be around the others since from all the news that flew around the school classified the teams as destructive and a bit over the top. ""Uh-uhm, well, you see Ruby. The second term students of Beacon have..been assigned task." Velvet was about to continue her sentence when she suddenly felt Nora jumping to her side and wrapping her arm around her neck to pull her over to team JNPR's side before loudly announcing something that caused both Weiss and Ruby shock.
"Six teams were picked out to head off into two different towns! One being Langdale in the west of Vale close by Vacuo and the other being a town called Torrine that's just east of Vale, although technically it's still in Vale! And Lucky for us, team RWBY was paired with us and team CFVY! Isn't that just great! We all can have so much fun while handling the Grimm issues in Langdale!" Both Blake's and Velvet's posture become tensely rigid as they had felt the wolf faunus's aura progressively beginning to bubble up in excitement over hearing Nora exuberantly explaining the current events while the air around the entire group began to drop in temperature before finally both girls spoke up in a mix of emotions.
"We're going on a mission?!" Everyone immediately actioned out on their first impulse towards the sudden mixtures of both outrage and enthusiasm and recoiled with sheepish expressions as they tried to avoid the glares of both females, one almost begging for the entire detailed explanation of when they were leaving while the other had been entirely fueled by outrage over such an out of the blue announcement, yet it hadn't taken pair more than a few mere moments to comprehend that they had both spoken up at the same time from having been caught off guard by the sudden announcement, however, shortly after realizing that the other one had been thinking completely different from each other, both females to sharply glance over to each other until blue eyes met intense pleading gray ones. Be that as it may though, unlike Weiss had normally given into the faunus's pleading gray eyes that she had long since grown to admire, the unusually cold glare that she had been unyielding shooting towards the wolf faunus had been more than enough to cause Ruby to frown as she listened to the heiress firmly speaking up before she even had the chance to whine or babble on in excitement.
"To believe that they would be sending second-year students straight into a mission without any warning would be utterly foolish and ill-advised of the school! One of us could get honestly hurt?! Surely none of you take me as the type of fool to believe the well-educated staff members or headmaster would allow such a thing." Yang snorted loudly shortly after the heiress finished loudly exclaiming her concern over the sudden announcement before she slightly glanced down to her little sister standing next to her only to notice that the faunus's ears had been drooped back as she quietly peered at the ground, yet she had well be acquainted with the normal lover's quarrel had had no problem with offering the two a helpful hand in whatever situation they had gotten themselves into that time. And with that in mind, Yang began to gingerly step over the bush before casually trudging on over to the heiress's side until she had been able to gently plop her hand down on the smaller girl's head before quietly speaking under her breath in order to make sure none of the others heard her
"No one here is making you seem like a fool but yourself right now, so I suggest you possibly try to fix whatever issue you've got going on and not upset my little sister like that again alright? I would pull out my scroll to show you the physical evidence that we're going to Langdell but I'm a bit lazy in reaching in my back pocket.. Unless you wanna get it yours-" Yang's eyes instantly broadened when feeling the heiress slapping her hand over Yang's mouth with a visible crimson red forming on her cheeks again as she shook her head in repulsion towards the idea of even touching Yang. However, the blonde continued to nudge aside the smaller girl's hand from her mouth until she had been able to finish up what she had to say in a more serious tone. "You told me you're a grown woman, so act like it and think of it as a time to think about how you plan to do any good for protecting my little sister on this trip since if you want me to finally back off, I'd like you to think of this as a final challenge before I can trust you to have my sister Schnee.."
Weiss tightly gritted her teeth together as she scoffed at the ridiculous challenge and possible threat that the blonde had once again tried to pull off before she gingerly pushed on Yang's mouth in order to get the blonde sibling to stumble back with a mischievous grin as she watched the heiress swiftly turn back towards the direction that the group had come from and began to walk off. "I swear on my entire family if this trip involves us having to stay out in some run down place I will leave you all and return to the school since it seems I'm the only one with common sense in this place nowadays. Come on Ruby, we best hurry back to the dorms in order to grab our weapons and some snacks to hold you off during the trip since I'm not dealing with a sugar deprived faunus on moving airships." Black charcoal ears swiftly perked up on top of the wolf faunus's head as she glanced up with her first tightly clutching the front of her cape before gradually began to get her once mirthful smile back before without delaying, hopped over the bush and began to follow after the heiress.
Yang softly chuckled as she watched her little sister latch onto the heiress's side while Weiss flusteredly began to pop the top of the faunus's head in an attempt to get away from the sudden affections before she also noticed team JNPR and Velvet following after the pair while Blake smiled and sauntered over towards her side. "You know, you're truthfully quite the handful sometimes Yang. Do you really think challenging her to show her best was the best idea? I mean she takes things extremely seriously even if she would find something like that childish."
"That's my goal, I need some form of entertainment during this trip so why not have Weiss frantically running around trying to gain my approval even though she says she never needs it! You've gotta admit it's kinda funny to mess with Weiss's go over the top side." Yang grinned contentedly as she wrapped her arm around the cat faunus's neck and began to pull her forwards so that they hadn't been falling behind the group heading to the school's front in order to meet up with the rest of team CFVY, yet before she had finished saying what she wanted to about the heiress, she jokingly hollered out. "And you two love birds better be at the airship soon or I'll come hunt you down before you can do anything besides get your weapons! That was mostly directed to you, Schnee!"
Blake's ears gentle twitched above her head as she listened to the heiress wittily return equally interesting retorts back and forth with the blonde sibling next to her before a smile gradually formed on her lips. 'A new family huh? Who would have thought I'd made one out of a bunch of interesting teenagers.'
