Summary: Weiss has been busy chasing a certain vampire for her undying love and attention. She's got the undying part — vampires are technically immortal but dead. However, the love and attention part… debatable.

Weiss has always been needy.

However, if you were to query her comrades about it, they would howl in laughter then spit in your face for insulting her. Needy was never entailed in Weiss' character.

Weiss, a competent vampire hunter, imposing on someone in the utmost pathetic and clingy manner was hard to believe. It sounded so ridiculous that even her fallen comrades would be rolling around while laughing in their graves.

The lone hunter always chose to work in solitude. She didn't need a partner, or anyone to keep her company. She had this menacing aura that she indulged in. Not the dismissive, unapproachable, cold shoulder type of menacing, but rather, her surging energy of determination. It fueled Weiss' strength, and helped mow her enemies down.

Weiss never stayed in one place. No one in the vampire hunter association knew why, but they assumed she was out pursuing a target. Weiss had always been tight-lipped, but the villagers and townspeople always gossiped about the troubled look on her face every time she passed through town.

Rumor has it, Weiss was on a conquest of revenge similar to many who also chose this line of occupation in the first place. However, others chose to strongly believe she was just searching for a worthy opponent who could match her strength and prowess.

But, they were all mistaken.

Weiss, the highest ranked hunter, was blinded by love.

She has been busy chasing a certain vampire for her undying love and attention. She's got the undying part — vampires are technically immortal but dead. However, the love and attention part… debatable.

"Ruby," Weiss called out.

The tracks that she had been following led her to a desolate forest far from human civilization. The nearest town is three days away by foot, or one if Weiss wanted some light exercise. The deeper she travelled into the heart of the forest, the more dense the fog became.

"Ruby."

She didn't receive an answer after she had called out the vampire's name for a second time. Only nature responded in kind, tree leaves rustled while tree branches creaked and the roaring winds howled into her ears. A flock of crimson eyed ravens continuously squawked curses at her. Her presence was obviously not welcomed, but Weiss marched on, undeterred. She needed this.

"Ruby, I know you're here." The twigs snapped beneath Weiss' boots when she cautiously stalked through the woods. She was getting frustrated that Ruby was purposely ignoring her. "...Somewhere."

The vampire excelled at running, but in Weiss' humble opinion, Ruby excelled at wasting her time. Every time Weiss hounded her down, Ruby would slip away like butter and the cycle would repeat itself.

"Come out, Ruby."

Weiss swooped behind a tree, but she clicked her tongue in frustration when there was no vampire in sight. She continued to scour around. She made sure her steps were light because Ruby was like a skittish deer. Any sudden noise would trigger a tactical retreat, and Weiss would have to start back at square one… again.

"I'm not going to stake you at the heart. Your heart belongs to me anyway," Weiss said. "You, figuratively, gave it to me."

"No, I didn't!"

Ah, Weiss' first clue. She followed the direction of the voice as she continued to distract her prey.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Well, okay, maybe… No."

Weiss' lips curved into a smile. Thankfully, Ruby did not excel at hiding. It made her life much easier.

"You told me I could have your heart."

"Well, yeah —"

"The feeling is mutual."

"But… But, you already know that I —"

"—like you? Why yes, I do know."

"That's not what I was going to say!"

"What were you going to say?"

"I was going to say that we can't be —"

"Ahah! There you are!"

Ruby shrieked when she was attacked by an unexpected embrace in the bush she was hiding in. Weiss had latched onto her like an affection seeking dog, binding her in a tight hold that even Ruby had trouble escaping from.

Every hunter fantasized about impaling a holy water-infused wooden stake deep into a vampire's chest, but Weiss was a little different. Just like any other hunter, Weiss loved pursuing other vampires to their 'death', but when it came to Ruby… Weiss loved to pursue her as a lover.

"Marry me, Ruby."

That was Weiss' 165th proposal.

"Nooooo!"

Ruby declined, for the 165th time.

"Weiss, you need to get off me! Pretty please…?"

Ruby whimpered when the whole menacing vampire thing didn't dissuade Weiss. If anything, Weiss appeared more attracted to it.

"No." Weiss refused to move. Instead, she tightened her grip and nuzzled her face into Ruby's neck. "You're just going to run away again. You should be running into my arms, not in the opposite direction."

"For good reasons that I have explained to you multiple times already!"

"Which can be solved easily."

"How?" Ruby dared to ask.

"Marriage," Weiss replied happily. "Marry me, Ruby."

"Nooo!" Ruby turned down the 166th proposal and continued her attempt to struggle out of Weiss' grip. They were so used to chasing each other that the word 'enemy' had no place in their relationship. In fact, Ruby had no idea what to label this. "A vampire can't marry a hunter! That's against the law."

"They can if there's love. Haven't you heard of the phrase 'love triumphs all'?"

Coming off of Weiss was a pleasant aroma. It smelled sweet, and Ruby's mouth watered. Her stomach clenched and twisted. She tried to push the thoughts away by concentrating on what was more important.

"That'll get us killed! They'll never leave us alone!"

The delicious smell came incrementally closer, and Ruby couldn't tear her eyes away from the exposed neck. Weiss had angled her head and revealed a generous amount of irresistible skin. Her scent was so intoxicating that Ruby was certain Weiss would be really, really addictive if she sank her teeth in and lapped up the hunter's blood.

"Then they have a death wish," Weiss retorted.

"Weiss..." Ruby tried to struggle out again, but Weiss had mastered the art of hugging from their never ending cat and mouse game. She couldn't believe this had all started when they crossed paths for the first time, approximately half a year ago. At first sight, Weiss swore to court her. Two minutes after that declaration, she got down on one knee and proposed. "You smell too good. I can't…"

Her head started to spin as her mind started to trek into unforgiving territory. She was starting to lose control of herself.

"Then just sink your teeth into me. Just one bite," she insisted. "A nip on the skin."

"Weiss," Ruby pleaded. "I-I can't."

"You can, and you should."

"Weiss — please… I'm begging you."

"Ruby." Weiss swept her hair to one side and offered her neck in the most tempting way possible. "Take one sip."

Ruby gulped as her breathing started to become irregular, and she pitifully whined. "It'll make me want you even more…"

Weiss looked so delicious and... consenting. She wanted to gloss her tongue over that particular spot. She wanted to know what her skin tasted like. All she had to do was bare her fangs and lean forward. Weiss would groan, be it from pain or pleasure, then Ruby would push her down and—

Ruby removed herself from such delirious, filthy fantasies. It didn't change the fact she was still craving her. Even though she had pushed the thoughts of ravishing Weiss to the back of her mind.

"I see no problem with that," Weiss smiled. "In fact, please do."

"I can't." Ruby desperately held onto the last of her self control that was quickly slipping away from her. She could imagine how sweet Weiss' blood would be. Sweeter than wine. Equally as sweet as her lips. "I don't want you to be an outcast. Being a vampire wouldn't give you the life you want."

"The life I want is to be with you. Think of how happy we would be together. So, turn me, Ruby."

"N-No!" It wasn't confident as Ruby wanted to come out. "I mean, I want us to be happy. But… I don't want you to suffer. Being a vampire isn't easy — controlling your hunger isn't easy."

"Age wouldn't be an obstacle for us anymore. We can live a happy married life, adopt kids, raise animals, live in the woods, and — "

Ruby finally broke free from Weiss' grasp. She wiped off the drool that had crawled out of the corner of her mouth and booked it after muttering an apology.

Weiss clicked her tongue as she watched Ruby flee. She was back to square one. She would have to give chase again, but she decided to do that later. She sat on the ground and absentmindedly wrung the grass from its roots.

She needed to devise a better plan.

Ruby hadn't seen Weiss for well over two weeks. This was by far the longest she had escaped from her. Ruby knew that Weiss had more than enough resources at her disposal to track her down, so this was… concerning.

"Have you heard the news, mate?" A rugged, bearded man said as he wiped the liquor from his mouth after guzzling down the whole mug. "They said Weiss got herself into deep waters."

His companion, who was just as rough around the edges, howled in laughter and slapped him on the back. "Good joke, buddy."

"I'm being serious here."

Sitting alone in the corner of the tavern, Ruby strained her ears to listen to their conversation.

"Weiss can beat the shit out of anyone."

"But they said she got captured by one of those… Errr, what were they called again... Rainbow Fangs?"

"You dumbass. They're called The White Fangs because vampires have y'know… white fangs."

Ruby stood from her chair after tipping a few bronze coins to the kind waitress. She left the tavern in search of Weiss.

All the clues Ruby had been gathering led her to a conspicuous, abandoned factory. She kicked the door down and stormed in without any caution.

"Oh good, you're finally here." Cinder sat up on the chair she had been slouching on and closed the book she was reading. "Couldn't you have arrived quicker? You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you. I know I'm a vampire, but holy shit, those two weeks felt like an eternity."

"Where's Weiss?" Ruby hissed.

Cinder clapped her hands and the factory roared to life. The conveyor belts mounted on the ceiling revealed an unconscious Weiss bound in thick, metal chains. Underneath her was a large cauldron of what Ruby assumed was hot oil. A classic damsel in distress.

"Weiss!" Ruby gasped. "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing," Cinder simply answered. "She's getting what she'd wished for."

Ruby balled her hands into a fist and growled. "Unhand her!"

"Trust me, honey. I would love to." Cinder rolled her eyes. She then cleared her throat and proceeded to read off the script that she had written on the palm of her hand. "If you want your annoying hunter back, then you'll have to pry this remote control out of my cold, dead hands."

Ruby did exactly that. She came after Cinder and they struggled for the remote. She seized the control only after Cinder had accidentally slipped on a step and fell to the ground.

"Oh, no." Cinder drawled unenthusiastically, as she laid flat and helpless on the ground. "I have fallen and I can't get up. What ever should I do?"

"You're lucky I didn't kill you!" Ruby shouted, while struggling to work the remote control.

Cinder snorted.

"Darn it, which button am I supposed to press? There's so many."

"The green one," Cinder answered.

"Nice try, you can't trick me."

"No, seriously. It's the green one. Please press it so I can go home already."

"I'm not going to trust you!"

Cinder let out a frustrated groan. She secretly pulled out a spare remote and pushed the green button. The conveyor belt roaring to life startled Ruby, she didn't question how it started to work because all she could think about was Weiss.

"Weiss!" Ruby slid to her side once the hunter was safely lowered to the ground. With her bare hands, she tore the metal chains apart. "Weiss, are you okay? Answer me! Why does she look so pale? What did you do, Cinder?"

Cinder casually got back up on her feet and dusted the dirt off her clothes. She wanted to go home already. "I gave her the deadliest of poisons."

"What kind…?"

"The deadliest," Cinder emphasized dramatically. "She asked for it anyway."

Ruby gasped. "You truly are diabolical!"

Cinder rolled her eyes. "Better hurry and suck the poison out of her before she dies. Chop, chop."

Ruby looked at Weiss and hesitated. If she were to sink her fangs, Weiss would turn into a vampire. If she didn't, then the hunter would die. As much as Ruby didn't want to turn Weiss, she preferred the former option a hundred times more than the latter.

Ruby leaned down and bit Weiss' neck. She drank her blood, and oddly enough, she didn't taste any poison in Weiss' blood.

"Mission accomplished, Cinder. You may leave now," Weiss said, as she opened her eyes.

"Thank god."

"Though, your performance could've been better."

"Bitch. Whatever. You better keep your end of the deal."

"A Schnee's promise."

"Weiss?" Ruby pulled her fangs from Weiss' neck with a confused expression. The blue eyes Weiss was born with had now turned red. "What's going on?"

Weiss wrapped her arms around Ruby's neck and played with her hair. "What do you mean? You just saved me from a deadly poison."

"But I didn't taste any poison in your blood…"

"I had food poisoning recently. Now, I don't feel it anymore. Thank you very much."

Ruby gave her a look of disbelief. "Did you just trick me into turning you into a vampire?"

Weiss smiled and pulled Ruby in closer. "In a sense, yes."

"Weiss!" Ruby groaned. "I can't believe you just did that!"

"Now that I'm a vampire, you'll have to take responsibility. Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Uhhh…"

Ruby glanced at her lips before looking back into her eyes. They were tangled in a very compromising position, and the way Weiss had been staring at her made it seem like she wanted to make out. Or cuddle. Or maybe...

"Marry me, Ruby."

"Ugh, fine."
