The next day both teams RWBY and SNOW were wandering around Vale, each taking it turns calling out for their respective team mates as Ruby called out, "BLAKE!" while Shiro called out,
"NAOMI!"
And Weiss had a small frown on her face as she said, "It doesn't make any sense, why would Blake run? Instead of talking to us, her friends?" and Yang glared at Weiss as she replied,
"Don't you care about Blake at all? Remember it's your fault we are even looking for Blake in the first place!"
Weiss then glared back at Yang as she said, "Of course I care about Blake! And I understand it's my fault we are looking for her." before she then frowned a little as she added, "Which is why I want to try and apologise to her when we find her."
Meanwhile Shiro had a small frown on his face as he said, "Blake and Naomi could be anywhere, I just hope they are safe wherever they are." and Westlyn placed a hand on Shiro's shoulder as she said with a small smile on her face,
"Don't worry Shiro, we'll find tthem. They can't have gone too far, we just need to keep looking."
Olivia also had a small frown on her face as she said, "I just want us all to be together again, Naomi needs to understand that we care about her as a friend and not just because we were told to." and Ruby smiled slightly at Olivia as she replied,
"It's okay Olivia, umm we will find Blake and Naomi, we umm we just need to stay positive in situations like this. And if they are in trouble then we will help them, because that's wat friends do."
Meanwhile…
Naomi was sitting at a table by a cafe and was staring at her cup of coffee, when her ears picked up as she heard a voice that said, "Room for one more?" and Naomi then slowly looked up and smiled slightly as she saw Blake standing by her table before she then replied,
"Go ahead."
So Blake smiled back at Naomi slightly before she then sat down opposite her at the table and ordered herself a cup of tea, before Blake then noticed Naomi was staring at her cup of coffee again before she said, "You know, it will get cold if don't drink it." and Naomi briefly looked up at Blake before staring at her cup again as she replied,
"I know. I just want to be left alone."
Blake then frowned a little as she said to Naomi, "Your team mates probably miss you, Naomi." and Naomi took a small sip of her coffee before she looked up at Blake as she replied,
"No they don't, they only miss me because we're supposed to be with each other for the next four years, they sit there and talk about their families and crap but they never considered how I feel having to listen to them, since my family was murdered by the White Fang."
Then Blake placed her hand on the table over Naomi's and her ears drooped a little as she frowned and said to her, "That's probably not true, and...I'm probably the only one who understands you Naomi, a long time ago I used to be a part of the White Fang, back when they were doing peaceful protests to try and get their point across that we just wanted to treated as equally as humans are treated."
Naomi then took another small sip of her coffee before she perked a brow at Blake as she asked, "Then...why did you leave?" and Blake took a sip of her tea and took a deep breath as she smiled a little at Naomi and answered,
"I left the White Fang because...because I wasn't happy with what it was becoming and how it had started having more and more violent protests, I wanted Faunus to be treated the same as Humans, but...I wanted to have a peaceful solution to our problem, not make things worse for ourselves by acting like the monsters Humans think we are."
Then Naomi looked at Blake and smiled a little as she quietly said, "Thanks Blake, for having this talk with me. I...I feel a little better knowing that someone like you understands how I feel." before she then added, "And...I overheard some people say that something was happening at the docks, tomorrow night." and Blake smiled back at Naomi as she replied,
"Well I'm glad talking to you helped you feel better Naomi, we should probably go back to the dorms as our team mates must miss us a lot."
And Naomi then slowly nodded her head and let out a sigh as she said, "Yeah, I guess you're right Blake. We should head back to the dorms and see our team mates as...I owe them an apology."
That evening…
Shiro and the others returned to their dorms after searching for their team mates and Shiro frowned as he let out a sigh and said, "We spent all day looking for Naomi and Blake and we didn't find them anywhere." and Westlyn frowned a little as she replied,
"There's not much else we can do for now Shiro, we'll just have to try again tomorrow."
Olivia also had a frown on her face as she said, "I hope we find Naomi soon, we care about her as friends...not just because we are a team." and Shiro looked at Olivia as he replied,
"Westlyn is right, we can't do much else today and we will just have to try looking for Naomi again tomorrow."
But just as Shiro and the others were about to try and get some sleep, they heard a familiar voice in the doorway as they said, "Well, you won't have to look very far." and Shiro ran over to Naomi and wrapped his arms around her as he said,
"Naomi! we were looking all over for you! We missed you so much!"
And Naomi looked a little shocked at the sudden hug, before she then eventually returned the hug as she replied, "I...understand that now and I...may have overreacted a little when I ran, but I'm glad I'm back here where I belong...with you guys." before she then frowned a little causing her ears to droop a little as she added, "I...I'm sorry I made you all worry over me."
Then both Westlyn and Olivia joined the hug as Westlyn smiled at Naomi as she said, "It's ok Naomi, all that matters to us is that you're safe. We care about you because we are your friends and not just because we are a team." and Olivia smiled at Naomi as she said to her,
"Yeah, we are more like a family than a team. I'm just happy we are all together again."
Naomi had a few tears building in her eyes as she replied, "I'm happy we are all together again too. we should all get some rest so that we are ready for class tomorrow." before they all then tried to get some sleep, ready for class again tomorrow.
