Chapter One: Meeting
Ruby slowly opened her silver colored eyes to see a pair of lilac colored ones staring back into her own. She jumped back, giving a little yelp as she hid her body under the covers, obscuring her face and head from view. Only a black, bushy tail with a red tip protruded from the covers, bristling slightly as the crimsonette hid.
"Aww, it's okay, baby sis," The pair of lilac eyes said, the blonde hair that surrounded them parting to reveal the face of Yang Xiao Long. She pulled the covers away from Ruby's face, Ruby yanking them back down.
"Hey, it's just me," Yang said with a grin, throwing the covers off and pinning Ruby's hands above her head with one of her own. Ruby struggled to get free, lupine ears flattening against her skull, but Yang was always stronger than her. "You need to calm down, baby sis."
Ruby whimpered softly, tilting her face down so that her mop of red hair fell over it.
"I know what you need," Yang grinned, leaning in close. "You need one of my special, patented, Yangarang Confidence Boosters."
This only made Ruby thrash harder and begin to kick as Yang started to tickle her sides. Ruby bit her lip to avoid any sound, but eventually giggles escaped. This soon escalated to laughter as she couldn't escape the blonde's expertly trained tickling fingers. Soon tears were spilling down her cheeks, her thrashing simply weak trembling as Yang released her.
"Now is that better?" Yang asked, pulling Ruby into a smothering hug, Ruby's air situation not helped by her sister's large, um, personalities. She reached up and tapped on Yang's back, gasping like a fish out of water.
After what seemed like an eternity, her world beginning to go fuzzy, Yang seemed to finally get the hint. She released Ruby, who flopped back on the bed, hitting the bedpost on the way down and taking in delicious, divine gulps of the air she never would take for granted again. Her face had lost the slight blue tint it had taken on during Yang's vice grip hug.
"Hey, earth to Ruby!" Yang smacked Ruby's cheeks like a set of bongos, but much more gently. Ruby moaned softly, the world returning to her as she looked up into Yang's face once again.
"Man, you were really out of it," Yang said, grinning. "You should probably get some more sleep. Don't want to ruin your day. Gotta start it off with a Yang, you know."
"I'd rather suffocate, thanks," Ruby thought when her brain had finally gotten enough air to produce conscious thought, her mind not having enough consciousness to process speaking those words.
"Rubes?" Yang asked as Ruby kept staring at the ceiling and watching the stars dance in front of her eyes. "You okay? You seem kinda spacey."
Ruby closed her eyes, hoping that sleep or death would claim her once again so that she could just not hear Yang make the second pun of the day. Her mind could only handle so much.
"Hey, Ruby!" Yang shouted, shaking the crimsonette hard. "You can't sleep or die on me yet! We gotta go to school! You gotta get up! This will be a good learning experience for you. You'll be an omnibus of knowledge."
Ruby's moans of irritation could be heard softly coming through her partially open mouth as Yang continued to shake her. She wish she could say she wasn't used to this, but she could probably sleep through Yang's wake up calls if she wanted to. She wished that her body wanted to as much as her mind did.
She looked up at Yang, who grinned at seeing her eyes, planting a huge kiss on Ruby's lips. Ruby's eyes widened and she pushed Yang off of her spitting and wiping her mouth as hard as she could.
"Wh-What was that for?" She asked, looking at Yang.
"Just gotta make sure no one steals your first kiss," Yang grinned. "That way some creep can't grab it sneakily."
"Y-You just did," Ruby said, continuing to spit and wipe her mouth.
"At least I didn't give you tongue." Yang said.
"Don't be gross," Ruby said. "N-Now, let me get dressed."
Yang looked down at Ruby's Beowulf pajama top with pink heart bottoms, then down at her own tank top and sweat pants. She shrugged, pulling Ruby into a hug and pulling her over to the closet.
"Let's get you all dressed up for your first day." Yang said. Ruby squirmed and struggled in Yang's grip as she knew Yang would try something she wasn't going to be too thrilled with. She tried to fight it, but Yang was a little too strong for her. Yang opened the closet to reveal Ruby's various outfits she'd worn and planned to wear.
"These aren't cute enough," Yang said with a disappointed tone, turning to Ruby. "I'll get you something super cute you can wear."
Ruby struggled out of Yang's grip, running into the closet and shutting the door. She locked the door via the lock she had her dad install for this very issue. She quickly threw her clothes off into the hamper in the closet. Grabbing a nice red pair of panties and a bra to match, she threw them and some long black stockings on and grabbed a black dress, er combat skirt (it was the only way her dad could get her to wear it) she never really had an occasion to wear prior to today. Slipping into it, she pushed her arms through the sleeves. Her tail slid through the hole especially for it. Putting on the one item she knew would give her courage, her mother's old cape/cloak she wore, she gave herself a little hug as she picked the loose floorboards up from the very back of the closet she had pulled up when she needed an escape.
She replaced them carefully, crawling under the floor as silently as a mouse, but with much faster movements. She made it to where she'd counted the kitchen was, carefully removing the floorboards above her head. She stood up, slipping into the kitchen and replacing the boards. She knew Yang wouldn't suspect it. It wasn't like she hadn't heard people call her an airhead.
She knew her dad didn't exactly like the fact that she did this, but she also knew he was aware of Yang's clingy antics. No less than five times, Yang had been accused of incest due to that fact. Ruby sighed, pouring herself a bowl of cereal, knowing that Yang would soon realize she was gone from the closet.
A soft whine sounded from next to her. Ruby turned to see her pet corgi, Zwei, sitting on his rump and smiling up at her with his tongue hanging out. Zwei was quite old and as fat as could be, but he was Ruby's sweet boy and she certainly enjoyed his company. He was the only one she wasn't afraid to talk to. She reached down, picking the 'large' dog up and petting him gently.
"Who's my good boy?" She asked softly, kissing his nose. He gave a small bark, licking her nose in return.
"That's right," She said. "You are. Sorry I can't take you with me, boy. But, I don't think they allow dogs."
Zwei gave a small bark once again, panting happily. Ruby gave him a big hug, holding him close and trying to think happy thoughts, not sad thoughts about not having her best friend.
"I wish I could take you with me," Ruby said, nuzzling noses with him. "I'm gonna miss you so much."
Zwei wriggled out of her grip, moving over to her backpack and nosing it with the occasional glance towards Ruby. Ruby seemed to get his hint, crossing her arms and sighing.
"Of course, Zwei," She said, walking over and picking up her backpack, looking through it and 'accidentally' leaving it turned over. She then returned to her cereal, munching the honey gazed puffs she had referred to as 'footballs' since her childhood.
"Rubyroo!" Yang called, entering the kitchen. "It's not school of you to ditch me like this!"
"I-I have to go," Ruby said, grabbing her suitcases and backpack. Yang grabbed her by the back of her top, pulling her back.
"Did you forget, Rubes?" Yang asked, earning a head tilt of confusion from Ruby. "We're goin' to the same school! Ain't it swell?"
Ruby felt color drain from her already sort of pale face as she looked at Yang with a gulp.
"My baby sis, comin with me to my fancy adult school!" Yang pulled Ruby over into another smothering hug. "I can't wait for us to share a room at Beacon!"
Once Ruby got her air supply restored, she simply walked over to Yang's car, placing everything besides her backpack in the trunk.
"Not tossin' your backpack in there?" Yang asked, raising an eyebrow. "I don't want any complaints about you having numb legs now, you hear?"
Ruby said nothing, looking out the window and clutching the backpack tight. The entire ride to Beacon, Yang played her death metal tunes and CDs she knew just irked Ruby, but not enough to have her complain. After about the twentieth playing of Back in Black, Ruby reached up and turned off the radio.
"Aww, to heavy for ya?" Yang snickered. "Don't ya know you need to learn to test your metal."
Ruby leaned against the window with a groan, hitting it again and again with her head, wondering how many it would take to knock herself out without breaking the window. She watched the hours go by as buildings and trees followed suit. She saw the sign of Patch's border, noting her last vestige of home. Her grip on the backpack tightened as she realized that she would be leaving it all behind.
"Hey, don't worry, baby sis," Yang said, glancing over. "It's gonna be fine. We're gonna rule the school!"
"I-I don't want to rule," Ruby said, looking down at her backpack. "I-I just want to stay in the corner and be ignored."
"Well, you can do that too," Yang said. "But, don't worry, I brought all kinds of cute stuff for you to wear to impress the guys."
"I-I don't want to be noticed," Ruby whispered.
"Well, I'm gonna find you the perfect guy to cuddle up with." Yang grinned, putting a hand on Ruby. "And her name is me."
Ruby said nothing, holding her backpack as she watched the road signs. She sighed softly as she noticed that Vale was still over a hundred miles away.
"Worry not, kiddo," Yang said. "We're gonna get a hotel tonight and take off in the morning. And, don't worry, I won't forget to pay this time."
"Y-You almost got us arrested," Ruby said quietly, sighing to accompany it.
"I said I was sorry," Yang chuckled, shrugging. "Jeez, you want me to police do better next time or something."
"Y-You always say that," Ruby said. "I-It never changes."
"Well, this time, you're gonna help me remember." Yang said. "You're a responsible adult."
"I-I'm sixteen," Ruby said. "You're an adult."
"Hey, twenty one isn't a super big adult, Rubes," Yang grinned. "It just means I can drink booze."
Ruby rolled her eyes, facing the window once again. She looked at the signs, watching as the number got smaller and smaller. Eventually, she saw a gas station in her window. Yang got out and filled the tank. Ruby pulled her cloak over her and closed her eyes in an attempt to either fall asleep or wake up back in her bed in her mother's arms.
Twenty minutes later, Yang walked out of the convenience store in the gas station with several bags of chips in her arms. She tossed two at Ruby, hopping into the car. When she realized she'd been bombarded, Ruby looked over to the bags, pulling them into her arms. The quiet sounds of her munching chips could be heard in the driving. Yang continued to drive, munching on her own chips. Ruby peeked over to notice that there was a soda in her designated cup holder. It was a strawberry flavored cream soda, her favorite.
"Better not fall asleep, baby sis," Yang said. "Gonna be a big day tomorrow. Initiation is in two."
Ruby glanced at Yang. She wasn't normally this reserved; normally, she'd coddle her the entire way, stroking her ears and tail with every intent of holding them fast. The crimsonette figured she was either tired or nervous; hopefully the latter. Yang started the car and the two took off toward their destination once again. Ruby felt her eyelids slowly, slowly get heavier and heavier. She knew it wasn't going to be easy to fight sleep and she never did like sleeping in a car with Yang in any capacity. While she had no fear of being drawn on, she was certainly not for seeing what Yang would do if she were to fall asleep, especially if drunk. A slight shudder shook Ruby's body as she remembered the time Yang had climbed naked into bed with her and cuddled her the whole night.
"Hey, Rubes, we're almost there," Yang said, jolting Ruby fully awake. She looked at the sky and noticed that the sun was beginning to set already. She then realized she had at least slept five hours, judging by the sun and not the broken dashboard clock in Yang's car. Ruby had long ago learned not to trust that stupid thing.
She noticed they were pulling into a city like area that had a nice big gate around it. The sign for the popular motel chain was glowing in the evening light, signaling to those who might partake in its services. Yang found a parking spot, cracking her back as she got out of the car.
"Ruby, get out," She said, pulling Ruby out of the car. Ruby made sure to move her backpack so it didn't get caught in the smothering hug she was given. She made sure that she could walk after she was forcefully dragged into a room, her face still smothered in Yang's breasts as she struggled to regain the precious oxygen her lungs were practically screaming for. She kept trying to hit Yang's arms, but she couldn't move much and Yang was too dense to get that she was going to kill her younger sister with her inflated life rafts if she didn't stop.
When they finally entered the room, Ruby was released to gulp sweet breaths of air, allowing her to actually not pass out. She let herself regain coherence and sat up, her backpack on the floor next to the bed. She looked around to see that it was the only bed. A sudden horror washed over her as she realized the implications of this.
"It was way cheaper for one bed," Yang said with a shrug. "Luckily for us we're sisters. Honestly, it's bedder this way."
Ruby glanced to the phone on the desk wondering if she could get Yang arrested on charges of torture on account of the puns. This was the reason (well, if you also include the smothering nature of one Yang Xiao Long) that she was as much of a recluse as she was… well, that being the primary reason anyway.
"You gotta cheer up, Ruby," Yang said. "We're gonna kill it at Beacon. We'll rule the school."
"M-Mom said to not stand out," Ruby said.
"That was when we were kids," Yang said. "We're badass teenager/adult now."
"I-I don't want to be badass," Ruby said. "C-Can't we just be normal?"
"Gooooood luck," Yang said, flopping on the bed. "You know it ain't that simple."
"I wish it was," Ruby whispered, glancing toward her backpack. She sighed, wishing the same wish she'd had since she was a child.
"Look, you'll do good, Rubes," Yang said, pulling Ruby into a much gentler hug than normal. "I promise."
Ruby couldn't help but lean on Yang for comfort, glad for once that Yang was taller than her enough so that she could use her breasts as a cushion of sorts. Ruby once again found sleep coming to her as she began to feel the prickling of unconsciousness come to her once again. Sleep, the wonderful mistress she served dutifully every night, beckoned her once again and she immediately heeded her call.
The blaring of an alarm clock jolted her up from her deep slumber as she sat up like a rocket.
"Wh-what's going on!?" She shouted. "A-Are we under attack?!"
"Calm down, Rubes, it's just an alarm clock," Yang said. "It won't hurt ya, I promise."
"Y-You're sure?" Ruby asked.
"You have one at home," Yang said. "You should know if it'll hurt ya."
Ruby sighed softly as she glanced down, sighing. Another morning, another wakeup call that shocked the hell out of her. She wished that she could just be normal, live a normal life, but that wasn't possible at this point.
"You sure you're ready for this?" Yang asked, looking at her. "Because you know we can always go back home. We can chill with dad at home and watch a ball game or something. Try to find you a nice boyfriend."
Ruby looked down at her backpack. They could do that… they could just go back home and try to live as if they didn't have to go to Beacon… but then something stuck with her… a prickling of a memory. The reason she'd enrolled in the first place.
"You have silver eyes," He had said. "I'd met one who did before you… looked just like you, actually."
Ruby clenched her fist for a reason yet unknown to her and sighed, picking up her backpack. She walked to the car, sitting down in her seat. Yang walked back around after heading to the desk to pay for the room, sitting down and starting the engine.
"We'll be there in six hours," She said, Ruby now understanding why they had to stop at a hotel. She was glad Yang was at least not trying to drive the whole trip. The last time that had happened… well, that was high up on Ruby's list of traumatic events.
"Buckle up, we're hittin' the road!" Yang said with a grin that would befit a daredevil, peeling out and zooming down the road with a speed Ruby hoped would end soon. Yang was a maniac when driving and Ruby wasn't quite ready to see her life flash before her eyes. She loved breathing and living, two things she was sure would cease the longer that she stayed around Yang in one form or another.
They raced down the road, hitting speeds Ruby hoped to whatever gods lived in the universe were above the speed limit. Her heart couldn't take it if this was lower than the speed limit. She loved, absolutely loved, the feeling of speed, but she couldn't stand this sort of speed from her sister. It was dangerous. When she went this fast, she was save, concentrated, calculated. This was madness. "No, this was Sparta!" Yang would yell had she heard the statement from the crimsonette. Ruby didn't want to see the roads zipping by if Yang was at the wheel. It took years off her life like a leak in a battery.
She saw the signs that indicated they were still three hundred miles from Beacon. She sighed, hoping that it would be over soon. Yang was too deadly to safely travel with.
She felt the sweet pull of sleep claim her as she let the warm, blissful mistress of sleep pull her in with her whimsical charms. She felt herself jolted awake at the sudden stopping of the car. She sat up, looking around, half expecting to see the huge spires she had heard about in the stories of her mother's. What she had not expected, however, was a deer standing two inches from the car.
Yang laid on the horn and the beautiful yet stupid creature bounded off. Ruby sighed; deer were the stupidest creatures God had put on the earth, only gaining slight intelligence when they were trying to get puss or dick. At least, that was Yang's description of them. Ruby just thought they were assholes who loved to kill drivers. Of course, she shifted her view slightly when she meet a certain woman, but it was mostly because she believed it was cannibalism to eat them…
Yang started forward motion, Ruby breathing a sigh of relief as her skyrocketing heart rate lowered to a normal level. She glanced on a sign and noted that the school was fifty miles away. At least she had missed the major chunk of the trip. Fifty miles wouldn't take long at all, especially with how Yang drove. She curled up, holding her backpack and her tail.
"You gonna wear a headband?" Yang asked seriously. "I'll only ask once more."
Ruby paused, looking at her. Yang glanced back. Ruby glanced at the headband sitting on the console. She knew her mother had always said to be brave and show everything she had, but it wasn't easy. Ruby contemplated it, taking the headband into her hands. With a small sigh, she pulled the headband over her ears, hiding them as she tucked her tail into her skirt. She never faulted Yang for the question; she knew it wasn't one she asked out of embarrassment. If there was one thing she had to give her credit for, it was looking out for her wellbeing.
"I'm sure you'll find some point to take it off," Yang mused. "Who knows, you could make friends who don't care."
"Yeah," Ruby whispered with a sigh.
"When we get there, I'll get you a cookie," Yang said, reaching over and patting Ruby on the head.
Ruby sighed once again, leaning on the window. She sometimes hated that Yang had found her secret weakness. But, she'd never ask for anything else when she was upset. Their dad couldn't cook for shit, but Yang knew how to get them just right, almost as good as her mom. Uncle Qrow knew how to cook them too, which was also helpful.
"Are you interested in meeting new friends the first day?" Yang asked. "Or do you wanna sulk while you get your stuff to our room."
Ruby contemplated her next decision, knowing it would be a damaging one. She also knew she could easily enact said decision without it being found out. Yang would never know unless she told her, which she wouldn't.
After another half hour of terrible metal songs, Ruby began to see the spires that made up the outer corners of Beacon Academy. A silent gasp escaped her lips as she realized just how big and spacious the university actually was. A massive gate divided the university campus from the outside world, massive as it was sturdy. Ruby suddenly felt as if she would be caged in with whatever horrors may await her here.
Yang drove just under the massive gate, the lupine girl glancing at the stone columns inside the courtyard that held the massive archway with a design underneath that was surpassed only by the Sistine Chapel. Depicted in a masterful array of colors was a shattered moon that was seemingly guarded by a reaper in white with eyes of silver who was facing off against creatures of blackness. Clutched in the reaper's hands was a strange scythe of a strange machination.
"Look at the paint job on that one," Yang said. "Someone musta done a lot of work on it."
"I-It looks like mom," Ruby whispered.
"You know, you're right," Yang said. "It does. If only Summer could see it."
"L-Let's just go get registered," Ruby mumbled.
Yang continued driving, eventually parking in front of the dorm building. It was quite large, boasting several stories and looked like a giant cube of stone and glass. The sheer size of it intimidated Ruby and she took a deep breath to steady herself as her lupine ears twitched under their restrictive headband.
"Damn, this place is huge," Yang said. "Let's hope we got a good room."
Ruby slowly got out and held her backpack, walking to the trunk and retrieving her suitcases she would need. She began the walk to the building, not waiting for Yang to make it out of the car as she walked. Her walking speed was considerably faster than Yang's, giving her an added edge.
Glancing behind her once she had entered the building, she walked quickly and made sure she wasn't being followed yet. Unfortunately for her, looking behind her gave her little vision in front of her. As such, she was unable to glance at the path in front of her until she realized she had collided with someone. She fell to the ground with a slight thud, landing on her rear as she stood up.
"Watch where you're going," The voice said as Ruby flinched at it. She glanced up to see a lot of white and blue. She also noticed a long amount of white hair. It was a bit off-center, but Ruby wasn't one for OCD, meaning it wasn't a problem for her.
"S-Sorry," Ruby stood and hugged one arm, the other holding her backpack. She looked at the one who she had collided into, suddenly realizing that she was actually taller than her.
"Sorry doesn't cut it," The woman said, her blue eyes taking in Ruby at a glance as her sharp tongue immediarely caused her to flinch. "You are coming to give restitution."
Before Ruby could turn to run or give any sort of argument, she was dragged by the woman into a hallway and down until a dorm was reached. A turn of a key and Ruby was thrust into the room. Making sure she didn't fall on her backpack, Ruby stood facing the girl, blinking back tears.
"L-Look, I'm sorry okay?" She said, trying to hold her resolve. "I-I wasn't looking where I was going and I-I didn't mean to run into you a-and—"
"Weiss, stop harassing the poor thing," A much kinder and softer voice that the now named Weiss' spoke, two arms gently wrapping around Ruby. Ruby flinched, but relaxed as she felt the soft arms holding her close.
"You're obviously scaring her," The owner of the voice spoke softly. "She's about to cry."
"Perhaps," Weiss said. "But, she needs to get her head out of the clouds and look where she's going."
"She probably was, but you're too short to see," A teasing, yet soft voice came from the corner. Ruby glanced over to see a cat Faunus curled up in the corner, leashed to a chair that was bolted to the floor.
"Wh-Why is she leashed like that?" Ruby asked.
"Because she was misbehaving," Weiss rolled her eyes. "It is not okay to act like she did."
"You just didn't want her to be too cuddly when you were studying," The voice holding Ruby gave a small laugh.
"Because she has no boundaries," Weiss said.
"Not like you complain much," The voice said.
"Now, I suppose you're new here," Weiss ignored the point as she turned to Ruby. "Are you not?"
Ruby, compelled to obey, nodded. Weiss looked her up and down, crossing her arms.
"Well, you are residing in this dorm so I can make sure you learn to watch where you're going," Weiss said as Ruby gulped. "But, I suppose introductions are in order of course. I am Weiss Schnee."
Ruby froze, staring like a deer in headlights at the snow haired woman in front of her. This was Weiss Schnee, known to some as the cu—er, grinchiest person in Atlas. She took no shit from anybody and was known to have an extreme distaste for Faunus. But… Ruby did have to wonder how true the stories were. She had just heard the cat Faunus in the corner mouth off to her and she didn't seem to be too mad at her.
Ruby also knew that looks and stories weren't as good as meeting someone in person. That's what her mom had taught her. And, in her opinion, Weiss didn't seem so bad; just grouchy.
"R-R-Ruby R-Rose," Ruby took a deep breath, deciding to bite the bullet.
"The one who doesn't listen to orders she's given is Blake Belladonna," Weiss said, the cat Faunus reaching up two fingers as she curled up with a yawn.
"And that tall one behind you is Pyrrha Nikos," Weiss said. Ruby froze again, letting her jaw drop as she looked up to see a head full of long red hair and warm green eyes staring at her with a kind smile.
"Y-Y-You're…" Ruby could barely get the words out, her excitement overtaking her anxiety as she looked up at the famous woman. "M-Miss Nikos!"
"Yes, I am," Pyrrha laughed. "But, you can just call me Pyrrha. I prefer it anyway."
"I-I'm so embarrassed," Ruby hid her face behind her backpack she was still holding, whimpering slightly.
"Don't whimper," Weiss said in an authoritative tone that immediately got Ruby to quiet down. "It is unbecoming. She will not bite you and she is your equal. Now, you will behave. I will go over the rules before orientation tomorrow."
"R-Rules?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, rules," Weiss said. "What, did you think that an academy as prestigious as Beacon wouldn't have any sort of rules in play?"
"N-No," Ruby said, shaking her head.
"Well, rule number one is that you under no circumstances are allowed to engage in any sort of illegal activity," Weiss said.
"How about we just say to stay out of Weiss' way when it's her time of the month?" Blake asked from the corner as she let out a yawn.
"I will come over there and personally muzzle you," Weiss said, glancing at the cat Faunus.
"I'd love to see you get your pretty little hands dirty latching a tool of such deviance onto me," Blake said with a smirk as she turned toward Weiss.
"Don't think I am unaware of your little 'collection', Blake Belladonna," Weiss said. "I will not hesitate to enforce strict rules upon you if you do not shut the hell up."
"Come over here and make me," Blake sat up, taking a pose almost like a sitting cat, a feline tail swishing back and forth behind her. Ruby hid her face, but mostly because she didn't want Weiss to see her giggling softly to herself. Any fear she had had was gone as she saw that this was nothing more than a family setting. It was clear Weiss wasn't as mean as she first thought. Even Pyrrha was laughing, enjoying the antics of the two.
"Alright, you two," She said. "We have to set a good example for our newest 'recruit'. It wouldn't do for her to see us behave like a bunch of miscreants, now would it?"
"Fine, fine," Weiss said. "Ruby was it? You'll be sleeping in the bed with Blake."
"Wh-What?" Ruby asked, her face flushing. Despite that, she took the opportunity to survey the room. There actually only were two beds, despite their massive size as king sized beds, there were only two.
"What never shared a bed with a girl before?" Blake asked as Pyrrha unleashed her. "I promise I won't bite. Unless you're into that, in which case I will mark you like a tattoo parlor.'
"I-I'm not really… i-interested in…" Ruby squeaked, her face flushing further.
"She's just kidding, Ruby," Pyrrha pat Ruby on the head. "Think of it as if she were your sister."
"I-I wouldn't want to share a bed with my sister," Ruby said.
"Well, we'll have our own fun," Blake said. "Now, let's get you sorted out. Orientation is tomorrow.
"R-Right," Ruby said. "L-Let me put my stuff down."
"I'll take your backpack," Pyrrha said, taking the bag and almost dropping it at first. "My, it's heavy."
Pyrrha adjusted herself, holding it effortlessly as she set it in the corner only for it to move. Weiss noticed it first, watching as it jumped.
"Open your backpack," Weiss said. "We don't allow animals in here. Blake is the only exception because she's toilet trained."
"I'm sure you check often to make sure," Blake walked behind Weiss and grabbed her chest. "Now, calm down, little miss washboard and we'll make sure the animal is safe."
"Take your hands off my chest or I'll put you in a crate for a week," Weiss said.
"Oh, I'm sure you'd love to see me all caged up and vulnerable," Blake said.
"Hands off." Weiss said, grabbing one of Blake's feline ears between her thumb and forefinger. "Now."
Blake's expression turned to a pained one as she kept saying 'ow ow ow ow'. Ruby and Pyrrha were giggling again, this time a little louder. Pyrrha picked up Ruby's backpack, opening it to reveal the panting, smiling face of Zwei.
"Oh, he's so cute," Pyrrha picked him up from the backpack. Blake immediately hissed, backing up as her hair, ears, and tail bristled slightly as Weiss walked over, practically snatching him from the redhead.
"Who's a good boy?" Weiss asked, nuzzling his nose with her own and rubbing their cheeks together.
"I think we should keep this one," Pyrrha said.
"Of course," Weiss said. "It's a stupid rule anyway."
Ruby smiled, getting the feeling that this may just work out after all.
So, this was a short little set of standaline,yet interconnected stories thought of. I won't work on this one very often simply because I don't want to overdo it, but I do think it's a nice little story to come to when I need a break from my other stories. I did some personality shifting, but nothing too out of character. Ruby and Yang are loosely based of their versions from the Bunta Kinami manga (you can read it on Viz, it's amazing). I hope you enjoy this and whenever I post the second chapter, I hope you enjoy that as well.
