Review Response
Shadow Joestar: Sorry bud. She actually lost that race. It was close, but she lost. And you might get an answer sooner then you think.
Blood Darkling: Hell no. I hate that little piss ant Whitely. I understand that he was 'conditioned' by his father, but at some point one has to become responsible for their own actions.
HTKWolfe: Thanks for the support and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
KHARAKI TAKAN: Yes. Petra will appear again. She's one of four OC's that I created over the years and she along with another will most likely appear in the book I'm currently writing.

Chapter 10: A break in the action
Time is an abstract thing. An invention of men To some people time flies by in an instant. To others it drags out to a crawl. In the underworld time had meaning to all, yet now to that same group. Money for protection, dealings, and the like was expected at the same time always depending on the terms of the deal made with groups. For stores and business dealing with Clockwork they were expected to pay every week on Monday. For those dealing with Branwen it was every month on the 1st the major payouts of the week. For Schnee Payments on time meant everything. and Finally the member of the Fang had to bid their time some in jail, others in safe houses.
However by that same respect those in charge of these organizations had all the time in the world to do as they pleased. To the big five time was nothing.

The soft snoring could be heard coming from the room that was inhabited by Ruby Rose and her girlfriend of six months Reese. The duo had started dating shortly after the first track meet of the year and Ruby's victory over her old Friend/running partner Petra. In that time Ruby and Petra had reconnected as friends/ rivals. Ruby would often call her at least once a week just to speak with her about things that happened in her day to day life. Including the fact that she started to date Reese.
Petra had been a bit shocked at first, but quickly gave Ruby her well wishes. The same could be said for the rest of their friend group. Saphron. Who had become something of a big sister to Ruby had also given her her blessing. Terra however warned Reese what would happen if Ruby ever came to her in tears. Terra could give yang a run for her money when it came to the protection department.
She had dated/ sleep with Reese for a month before Ruby told her family. Well it was pretty interesting to say the least.
Flashback.
Ruby held Reese's hand as she stood before Yang, Raven, and Tai. All three in various stages of shock. Yang looked like she wanted to jump up and murder Reese with her bare hands, Tai was smirking since it really wasn't a secret that Ruby was into women that or just Bi-curious, but he'd rather his little flower be with a sweet girl, then a hulking brute that he would have to kill... Then again anyone who hurt Ruby would probably be dead. Raven while outwardly looking the most calm was in fact freaking the fuck out on the inside. She had never given 'the talk' to anyone before. She wasn't that kind of mom! (1)
"WHAT THE HELL!" yelled Yang jumping to her feet. "You can't be dating Ruby! Her beautiful sister is suppose to approve any and all suitors for her. And even then she's not suppose to like them for a long long time!" then I get to beat them to hell!"
"Yang!" groaned out Ruby releasing Reese's hand. "Can you please not embarrass me in front of Reese?"
Tai chuckled. "I don't know Ruby. Your girlfriend is pretty cute. Kinda hard not to embarrass you," said Tai.
Ruby glared at Tai.
"I give you my blessing Ruby," said Raven making everyone look at her as she gave a pointed glare at Reese. "Over the last year our family has faced many hardships. Do not make me regret this choice,"
Ruby smiled before rushing Raven and hugging her.
"Thanks mom," said Ruby.
The entire Branwen/Xiao Long/ Rose family. All of their eyes widened. Raven was the first to smile, before giving Ruby a small hug.
"Your welcome... little gem,"
"Good one mom," said Reese only to receive a glare.
"It's Mrs Branwen or Xiao Long to you," said Raven.
Flashback End
Since then Reese would sometimes find herself sleeping at Ruby's house and vise versa. Depending on where they were and the general feel of the day they would spend their time just fooling around. But it wasn't all fun and games. The duo had their ups and downs. Reese's use of Mostly the fact that Reese had a hard time keeping her eyes to herself and off other females in general. That was their biggest argument. Anytime the duo did argue and Reese sent Ruby crying to Yang and Raven about it. Yang had a pretty hard time not marching off and killing Reese every time they did fight. Raven had manged to keep Yang from doing since Reese was still a minor/ innocent and therefore untouchable by the Treaty of Five rules.
But most of this was for another time. At the moment Ruby slowly awoke and smiled at her girlfriend, before kissing her on the check. Getting out of bed shivered slightly as her bare feet touched the cold hardwood floors. The slightly open window had a small winter chill blow though the room. Reese liked to sleep with the window open, even if it was raining or winter outside. Ruby didn't mind, but at the same time she hated being cold. Ruby grabbed an over-sized beacon Academy shirt and throw it on, before grabbing some of Reese's boy shorts, and a pair of her thigh high black socks. Walking out of the room she heard moaning coming from Penny's room. She knew that Sun had spent the night as well as Ciel, Neptune, May, Sage, Petra,and Jaune.
Ruby rummaged around the kitchen to see if she could make something to eat when she heard raised voices in by the pool. Considering how cold it was outside it was impressive that people could fight. It didn't take more then a few minutes for Ruby to recognize that it was Penny and Sun. Over the last few weeks Sun had been on edge. He would come to school with a deep expression on his face. Penny and Reese had tried to get him to open up, but he seemed to sink further and further down. He had even started to distance himself from his 'brother' Neptune.
The door to the back opened and Sun came in with an angered expression on his face. Once he saw Ruby he quickly lost the anger on his face for a smile. "Hey Ruby. Hows it going Ruby?" asked Sun.
"Sun are you okay?" asked Ruby.
Sun rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah. Hey I'm about to go and get some smokes. You mind telling Penny so she doesn't freak out.. You know with all the snow and stuff on the ground," said Sun.
"I'll come with you," said Neptune walking out of his room and yawning.
"Alright," said Sun as they walked out.
Penny came in and took a seat on the counter. Ruby came over and hugged her friend Knowing that it was just the start of another day for her and Sun. And they still had a week before they had to be back in Vale to attend school.

Pyrrha awoke with a light kick in her stomach. She groaned in discomfort as she sat up and rubbed her 7 month swallon belly. Luckily for her she had discovered her pregnancy before a major fight. Due to this pregnancy Yang had spoken with Raven and the father of the offended boy. They had agreed that a pregnant woman fighting in the Vale underworld was 'bad for business' and allowed Pyrrha off, provided that once she was fit enough she would start to train fighters. (2)
Pyrrha looked around her 'old room'. While her Family did hail from the Vale/Mistral border, her mother had brought a house in Vale that she liked better then the Argus family home. The door to her room opened and in walked her mother. Unlike Pyrrha who stood at 6' even, her mother stood at about 5'5" with bob-cut hair and eyes that matched Pyrrha's. Pyrrha also got her figure from her mother if her Large C-cup breasts, and rounded ass were anything to go by. She wore a simple brown skirt that went past her knees, and thin white long sleeve shirt, and brown flats.
"Good afternoon dear," said Kokkino Nikos as she touched her daughters stomach. "How is Little Joan doing today? (3)
"She's doing fine mother, but she is having a ball kicking me today," said Pyrrha.
Kokkino sighed. "I know your young and all Pyrrha, but I wished that you had used protection in a tryst with your lovers. Why i remeber when i came in and saw you with your boyfriend whe you were 15,"
Pyrrha blushed. "Mother!" yelled Pyhrra as her mother laughed at her.

Salem looked at Cinder as she spared with a girl who had started to look up to cinder as a role modal. That or a future partner. The girl that Cinder was sparing with was a 16 year old girl named Emerald that chose to go to the Private tutoring of the Orphanage instead of going to the Public schooling system. Emerald was quite bright if 6 she her current 3.9 average was anything to go by. Not it was more then that. Before Salem had taken her into her orphanage she was a ward of the Kingdom. Even though she was only 16 she had been locked up twice on charges of theft and fencing of items over 1000 lien. When Salem got word of this girl he quickly picked her up. She had only been with Salem for 5 months, but already her infatuation with Cinder she had handed her connects over to Salem. Salem had been a bit... disgusted by some of her contacts considering some of them were known druggies and pimps. The only one she was fine with keeping was the men of Clockwork since Roman did have a code of conduct.
Aside from that Salem was actually quite interested in the girl that Cinder had an eye on. Of course Salem knew that she was the niece/ adopted daughter of Raven that had the protection Status on her. Salem actually found herself liking the girl to an extent. An athlete, an intellectual. Someone Salem could see as the uniting factor of Grimm and The Branwen Tribe.
Cinder stopped a punch from Emerald before sweeping her foot and throwing her to the floor with force. Emerald gasped in pain as she rolled away and coughed. Emerald looked at her mentor and throw a kick that caught Cinder in the stomach. Cinder gasped, but managed to flow with the hit and rolled to feet, before locking Emerald in a rear naked choke. Emerald coughed, before tapping.
Cinder allowed her to go free. "Good job Emerald. You've been practicing," said Cinder.
"Yes ma'am. I am to please," said Emerald excited for the praise of the woman she considered her Mistress.
Grabbing a towel off the bench she saw that she had a missed call from Ruby. Cinder smiled, before calling the girl back.
"Hello," came a voice that wasn't Ruby's. It came out as a slight moan.
"Digusting little bitch! How dare you answer Ruby's scroll with your tainted voice!" thought cinder in anger
"Hello Miss Chloris. I see that I had a missed call from Miss Rose. Can you get her.
"Ruby is... Fuck... Ruby is down stairs... Shit that's the spot!... right now. I'll get her... Babe... Miss Fall for you," said Reese.
Cinder's eyes blazed in fury as she realized what Reese and Ruby were up to. No so much because they were up to it, but because Reese picked up the phone and made it known that she was current in the throws of passion.
"Oh Oum! What the fuck Reese!?" yelled Ruby as she seemed to stop what she was doing. "We're having sex and you answer a call from my favorite teacher aside from Miss Nikos!"
"What babe. I thought it was funny," said Reese rasing her voice as well.
"Not cool. You know I called her for school reasons," said Ruby.
"Whatever. Way to kill my mood Ru. I'll go downstairs and smoke a bit," said Reese.
A door seemed to slam in the background as Cinder heard Ruby sigh in annoyance.
"Sorry about that Cinder," said Ruby.
Cinder calmed down hearing her Rose's voice. "No need to apologize Ruby. I could never stay mad at you.
As Cinder spoke with Ruby Salem smirked as she looked at Emerald who was glaring at the smile on Cinder's face. Salem would have to talk to the girl about her jealousy among other things.
