An Outside Perspective

Yang was beginning to get used to the headaches that had plagued her every morning since the fight. They were slowly getting better, and would usually pass after a few minutes, but they were still lingering a little longer than she'd expected. The pain was manageable though, it was mostly the fact she was having to spend an extra five minutes in bed every morning until it passed, whereas she would normally be on her feet and starting her morning routine in seconds.

She also hated that it gave her a little more time to think. She'd never really been one for thinking. Sure, her grades were good, and she was pretty good when it came to combat strategy, but for everyday life, she just went with the flow most of the time. It was easier, more freeing and left her with fewer worries, which was mostly a good thing since she still worried about Ruby enough; but she could no longer deny that it had left her a little fragile in other areas.

It was safe to say that relationships were not her strongest area. Having had mostly a string of weekend flings or one-night stands, she'd never really prepared herself for what a relationship entailed. Unlike the forgettable one-night stands and the little more memorable weekends, relationships actually gave her something to lose. They gave her something to be scared of. The same thing that she'd been afraid of for years.

That they would see her as not worth sticking around for. That she wouldn't be enough for them to stay. And in a way, she was right.

It hurt to think in such a way, because she knew that Coco and Velvet wouldn't be leaving for another three years, and even then their relationship wouldn't be ending, but it still scared her.

She loved both Coco and Velvet more than she had even thought she could less than a year ago. She remembered encountering Coco working herself to death in the sparring room after she returned from Lower Cairn, and then encountering Velvet crying in a secluded corner of the library. They'd both been her friends at the time, so she'd helped them where she could and things simply progressed from there. She could never have imagined it would lead to what it had become.

However, while what it had become scared her, she wouldn't change it for the world. They were a part of her now, just as much as Ruby was, just as much as Blake and Weiss were. And she wanted that to last as long as it could; even if she had to deal with a long distance relationship for a while.

Thankfully though, both girls had been doing all they could to convince her that she was being stupid for even thinking they would just forget about her; well, Coco was. Despite the softness Yang frequently saw, the girl was usually a little more firm in her approach to complex issues, but Yang knew that was simply how Coco was. Velvet was more affectionate though, making sure to convey how much she cared through kisses and hugs. She liked both of them equally, since one gave her the affection she craved, and the other gave her the discipline she begrudgingly knew she needed if what Weiss said was anything to go by.

So, with her headache finally gone and the thoughts of her amazing girlfriends taking its place, she finally sat up and rolled out of her bed, landing lightly on the ground. Standing up, she stretched her arms into the air until numerous joints popped and let out a satisfied sigh. Looking around the room, the first thing she saw was that Weiss' and Ruby's beds were empty. Ruby's wasn't too unusual since the girl liked the occasional early morning run, but Weiss's being empty was still a little odd since it was a fairly recent development.

Usually, Weiss was the last to wake up. It was mostly due to her tendency to study way into the night, but the girl would usually wake up roughly thirty minutes after everyone else. That hadn't been the case for the past two weeks though. Whenever Yang got out of bed now, Weiss' would be empty, and it still felt weird to not be shouted at for ruining her beauty sleep. The heiress was always back when she exited the shower though.

So shrugging it aside, she turned around to check on her partner, and found herself a little surprised. She'd gone to bed a little earlier last night, since Coco and Velvet were busy with coursework, so she was a little surprised to see that Ruby was not actually out running, but curled up in Blake's bed; the faunus' arm visibly wrapped around her waist where the quilt had slipped down. The two looked extremely comfortable, and Yang couldn't help but smile at them as she reached down and pulled the cover back up.

She was happy for her sister. Happy to see the girl so clearly in love, even if she didn't realise it herself yet. As much as she joked and teased them about how openly affectionate they'd been, she was really glad that her best friend and her sister were happy together. Ruby definitely deserved it, and by the gods did a wonderful girl like Blake deserved something good in her life; even if Blake thought she didn't sometimes. That was still something Yang was working on fixing permanently though.

Since she didn't want to wake the two up, Yang silently moved to the other side of the room and picked up her headphones. Slipping them into her Scroll and putting on a decent workout track, of which she had many, and began to stretch for her morning exercises. They really weren't much, simple push ups and sit ups, using the bar they'd set up in the corner between the walls for a few sets of pull ups. Simple stuff that allowed her blood to start pumping and work the sleep from her bones. After that, she'd meditate for fifteen minutes, letting that energy slowly work its way out of her body so that she came down naturally.

However, towards the end of her work out, before she could get to her usual meditation, The door opened and a sweaty Weiss walked into the room. She was wearing her usual workout clothes, which even Yang had to admit made the girl look spectacular.

Where normally there would be some kind of tight shirt and combat skirt combo, there girl liked to wear jogging bottoms and a sports bra that left her stomach exposed when she was doing her standard exercises. And though Yang preferred shorts and a baggy t-shirt, she could definitely see the appeal to Weiss' outfit, as even exercising was rather rigorous for huntresses and the outfit allowed her body to breathe rather well. Though it did have the additional issue of frequently making Yang's eyes glue to the heiress' incredible physique.

Weiss' body was like most huntresses in that it was pretty toned and flat, but unlike most, the skin was unblemished by the usual scars that littered the bodies of those in their line of work. Instead, it was all soft, untouched skin. But even though Coco and Velvet didn't mind her looking at others, hell they did plenty of it too, Yang pulled her eyes away from the beautiful body as she didn't want to be leering from her friend.

Seeing Weiss pull an wireless earpiece from her ear, she let go of the bar she was doing pull up on with one hand and did the same.

"Been for a run?" Yang asked, continuing her pull up with one hand. "You've been up early a lot recently."

"Yeah," the girl hummed as she began to undo her braid, clearly still a little breathless. "Working on my stamina. Would rather not almost die again because I can't keep up."

Yang knew what the girl was talking about. She'd been behind Ruby and Weiss in the tunnel, and watched the heiress begin to tire and stumble. While the girl was like a vengeful angel on the battlefield with everything she could do, her stamina always was her weakest point. It was probably why Pyrrha won most of their fights, since the Mistralian had almost as much stamina as Yang herself.

"Gotcha. Don't you usually shower downstairs though?"

"Nora's in there. And we both know how she is with privacy."

Yang couldn't help but chuckle. Nora was definitely someone who had never learned proper boundaries, and had a tendency to slip into the cubicle of other people while showering to continue whatever conversation she was having. Though Yang didn't really care and never made an issue of it, Weiss had certain rules regarding modesty and tended to scream at whoever broke them; not that it stopped the hammer-wielding redhead.

"Honestly, unless it's Ren, I doubt she even realises the person is naked half the time."

"Then she should buy some glasses."

"Still won't stop her, she'll just have a better view."

Yang grinned as Weiss let out a small groan of disgust and moved over to her drawers. With how small the room was, they could fit two inside, so they each shared one with their partner.

"The next time she does it, I'm wrapping a glyph around her head."

Weiss sighed as she maneuvered her way around the couch, and Yang heard a small muttering under the girl's breath. She was pretty sure it was about the couch again, which Weiss had already scolded her for three times for not taking it back down, but Yang liked having it there. Not only was it fun to cuddle up on with Coco and Velvet, but it meant the team could hang out together when they watched a film, instead of on individual beds or the floor. It made them all feel closer, and she really liked that, especially since it had all almost come to an end three weeks ago.

"So…" Yang grunted, doing on more pull up before dropping to the floor. "How is it out there today?"

"Warmer." Weiss said plainly. "Still pretty chilly though. Sadly not enough to keep some people indoors."

"Oh?"

"Neon has taken to cheering people on as they run."

"Oh Gods."

"Exactly!" Weiss let out another groan and finally pulled her towel free. "I would rather not have to listen to her incessant shouting while I run, nor Flynt's damn trumpet backing her up. And does she have to flirt with everybody she sees? That girl has no concept of shame."

"Wishing someone else would do the flirting, huh?" Yang teased.

"Do not start with that nonsense again."

"Hey, you're the one who called him hot."

Yang shrugged and stuck out her tongue, grabbing Weiss' uniform from the bottom of the bed to pass it to her.

"I stated an objective fact regarding his attractiveness." The heiress replied shortly and took the clothes. "I also said he was an ass. Now please stop with that nonsense."

"Pfft, if you say so." Yang grinned. She knew it was likely just in her head, but Flynt really did seem to go out of his way to bug Weiss.

"I do." Weiss sighed. "Now, can I please use the shower first? Because I feel gross."

Yang couldn't help but think just how ungross Weiss looked. The slight sheen of sweat and the loose, messy hair was actually a very, very, good look on the girl. Though, she still couldn't help but compare it to Velvet and Coco, who both looked even more magnificent in that state. Knowing she would be meditating in a minute to clear her head of most thoughts, Yang let those ones invade her mind a little.

"Sure." She grinned, earning a suspicious look from her friend.

"What's that smile for?"

"Nothing," Yang grinned even wider. "I'm gonna meditate anyway."

"Ugh." Weiss sighed and rolled her eyes before she moved towards the bathroom. "Between you, Velvet, Coco, and Blake; I'm beginning to think Ruby is the only non-perverted female friend I have."

"Heh, from the looks of things, that might not be the case for much longer."

Yang pointed to the couple, who were still fast asleep in bed, and saw Weiss give them a small glance. If she wasn't mistaken, she saw a small smile try to pull at the heiress lips, only to be fought off.

"Yes, well I'm glad to see she has finally taken my advice. Even if their canoodling has become a little tiresome as of late."

"Ehhh, they are new and in love. Give them a break."

"Doesn't stop it being annoying when I'm trying to focus on my studies and all I can hear is their giggling." Weiss breathed. "Anyway, I am going to shower." She pushed the door open, but before she could go inside, she stopped and turned back. "Also, I am tired of walking around that damn couch. If you want to keep it here so badly, you have until the weekend to change the room around to make it more accommodating. If you don't, I will use my summons to take it back downstairs. The quick way."

With that said, Weiss stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Knowing that 'the quick way' usually involved the window with Weiss, Yang made a mental note to definitely change the room around since she really did want to keep the couch. With that note in mind though, She moved over to said window and pulled it open, climbing on the chest of drawers and sitting with her legs crossed. She always loved meditating with the breeze in her hair, so was happy to feel it was over her as she closed her eyes and got to slowly winding herself down for the day ahead.

Growing up on Patch, Yang always loved the woods after rain. Though she liked the sun better, it was undeniable that the musty smell of the leaves drying out and causing the air to be filled with the beautiful, floral scent definitely enhanced the experience. And though the bright green leaves of Emerald Forest definitely didn't compare to the dark trees of home, it was still pretty enough for Yang to be enjoying the walk with her girlfriends. But still, most of her attention was on Ruby, who was happily skipping ahead of her with Blake and Weiss.

Despite knowing that Ruby was more than capable of handling Grimm herself, it was still a tendency of hers whenever they were out hunting. No matter who she was with, her eyes always sought her sister, just to guarantee she was safe. Thankfully, she couldn't even sense any Grimm in their surroundings, and either Fox, Velvet, or Blake would alert them if any did enter.

"They look like they're having fun." Coco said as Blake bumped the reaper with her shoulder, causing a loud laugh to emanate through the trees. "Think they forgot this is supposed to be a mission?"

"Weiss is with them, so I doubt it." Yang replied with a chuckle.

"Looks like Weiss is having fun too though." Velvet said, pointing with her free hand to the heiress who did indeed to be chuckling at something Ruby had said.

For all Yang's jabs at the girl being a little too tense, even she had to admit that Weiss always seemed noticeably lighter around Ruby.

"So long as they keep their eyes keen." Coco said. Even though she was wearing sunglasses, Yang knew her girlfriend's eyes were constantly scanning the area. "How we looking, Fox?"

"All good at the minute, but something fast keeps dipping in and out of my coverage." The boy answered telepathically.

"You think it's following us?" Velvet replied.

"Maybe. This forest is usually busier though."

"Alright. Keep us updated."

As Coco let herself relax a little, Yang looked ahead again and saw Ruby walking backwards while giving a thumbs up in her direction to show Fox had talked to them as well. Giving her sister a smile back before the girl turned back around to talk to Weiss, Yang reached out and took Velvet's hand. It was always a little more comforting having that little bit of pressure in hers.

"So what made you decide to come along with us anyway?" The faunus asked as Coco moved away a little to check the denser trees. "It's just a standard patrol."

"A little more experience couldn't hurt." She shrugged and smiled at her girlfriend, who gave her a small frown. "What?"

"Experience is one thing, but you've been picking a lot of fights lately."

"It's just training."

"It's a lot of training." Velvet countered her quickly. "Fox, Neon and Ivori, Weiss, Pyrrha, Syan and Terra. All in the last two weeks."

"I know." Rubbing her thumb across the back of Velvet's hand, Yang gave her girlfriend an understanding smile. "I promise I'm not overworking myself. I'm just trying to push myself is all."

"Because of the Hellk?"

"Pretty much."

Yang let out a sigh. It was hard to deny that the Hellk had shaken her a little, even if she was trying her best to not let on. Even when the beast had been severely injured, she'd been practically ineffective in most of her attacks, and what little she had done had been quickly turned on her.

"Just… It made me realise that just punching away at something isn't always enough. The Hellk just tossed me aside when I used my semblance at full power, like I was nothing. What use am I in a fight if the opponent is too strong for me?"

"So you've been choosing fast opponents because…"

"... they're forcing me to use more than just my strength." Yang confirmed what she knew her girlfriend was about to say. "They're forcing me to be faster and more tactical. It's taking a little bit to get used to is all."

"Well," Velvet cuddled up to her side, her other arm wrapping around her forearm as she looked up with a wide smile. "You'll get it. You're a lot more tactical than you think already, just don't wear yourself out, okay?"

"Yeah." Said Coco, who punched her in the arm as she emerged from behind the trees. Yang was sure it wasn't a coincidence she'd chosen that moment to come back out. "That's our job." She winked.

"UGH! I think I'm gunna vomit."

"Your fault for eavesdropping, Fox."

A loud laugh forced its way out of Yang's throat, and she could feel Velvet giggling beside her too. It wasn't too unusual for Coco to make such a remark, but Yang loved them. Though she was capable of them, Yang knew the brunette struggled a little with the more sensitive aspects of the relationship and tended to be a little more upfront with her affection. It didn't bother her, especially since Velvet more than made up for the more sensitive parts, and she actually liked the thrill that Coco's sheer lack of shame brought to the relationship.

"So how're things looking over there?" Yang asked curiously.

"Quiet, except for their laughter." Coco replied and nodded towards Ruby, Blake and Yang.

"Laughter's good. Doesn't bring Grimm." Yang reasoned, earling a shrug from the girl who glanced over her shoulder. "Besides, I like hearing it. It's good to hear her laugh like that."

"Ruby or Blake?" Velvet asked. "Or Weiss?"

"All of them, though Ruby's is definitely the best."

"I think you may be a little biased there."

"More than a little, Bunbun."

"Shush." Yang laughed and nudged Coco, who gave her a wide grin in response. "I just like seeing Ruby look like that, you know?"

She motioned out to her sister, who looked to be giggling happily about the fact that Blake had an arm draped around her shoulder. It was hard not to notice that Ruby was leaning in close and that her hand was in the back pocket of Blake's shorts, though from how little reaction was coming from the younger girl, Yang also guessed Ruby also hadn't realised she'd done it.

"They definitely seem to be getting closer." Coco hummed, obviously having noticed the hand placement too.

"Yup. Even sleeping in the same bed now, if this morning is anything to go by. Though they could have just fallen asleep while reading."

"Blake isn't you though, Yang."

"Oh haha." Yang smiled at the faunus and placed a swift kiss on her cheek.

"So, you're still okay with them?"

"Yup." Yang replied to Coco's question easily. "I think they're good for each other. Blake is definitely letting her walls down slowly, and she seems to make Ruby consider things a little differently."

"She still told Kobalt off for throwing Cardin out a window though."

"He'll get a lot more than that if he dares touch Velvet again."

"Yeah, well, that's just her. Likes to defend people no matter what. She did tell him he shouldn't be bullying people when he got back though."

It was true. It hadn't taken long for Cardin to climb back through the window, and Ruby had still been telling Kobalt he shouldn't have damaged school property. The scumbag had even stood next to her with a smug smile on his face, only to find Ruby immediately rounding on him and saying that it was his fault for being an asshole; though Ruby's words were a lot nicer.

Yang had definitely noticed the smile that it had brought her partner's face while her girlfriend was telling the boy off. She knew it meant a lot to Blake that Ruby was willing to stand up to such a blatant discrimination, even if she did also try to argue that Cardin didn't deserve to be thrown out of the window. But that was Ruby, and everyone knew that. If there was a way it could be talked out with words instead of fought with fists, she would argue for that option.

"Her naivety could get her hurt in the field, you know? Like it did with the Hellk."

"Coco!"

"It's fine, Velvet." Yang sighed. Coco's bluntness was something Yang was used to. "She isn't wrong, but I like to think Rubes is just hopeful. She thinks she can save everyone, and that if you just give them a chance then they will do the right things. I want her to keep that outlook on life."

"It's not bad to have hope, but that isn't always the case." Coco's voice remained firm. "As much as I despise the little bastard, Cardin might have some redeeming qualities to him since he is taking his training to be a huntsman seriously, but the people we'll be employed to capture once we graduate are not Cardin." The brunette stopped and Yang turned to look at the girl. "You should make sure she's ready to understand that."

Yang stared into her girlfriend's eyes, which was easier since the shades had been removed. She knew the girl was right, and that Ruby would eventually have to accept that some people just couldn't be saved, but she really wanted to hold off on that for as long as she could. But then again, she couldn't have her sister fighting an opponent who was aiming to kill while she was only trying to knock him out. It was already enough of an issue in sparring where she was notably weaker against the other students despite being top ten on pure combat skill.

"I know." Yang breathed eventually when Velvet's hand closed on hers. "I'm not going to be around to protect her forever, after all. I don't want to get rid of that part of her completely though."

"You don't have to," Velvet smiled up at her. "And I think we all know that Ruby will always give people the chance to do the right thing first." Coco nodded. "Just make sure she understands when she has to accept they won't."

"I will." Yang groaned, wondering exactly how she could even go about that. "Just…" She looked ahead to see Ruby was laughing again, the smile on her face infectious enough to bring one to her own. "Not yet."

"Take your time." Coco said, her voice losing the hardness to it as she put her glasses back on. "It's your sist…"

"Incoming!"

All three of them turned at Fox's warning, but before Yang could even extend her gauntlets, something black and sharp slammed into her chest and sent her stumbling backwards. Thankfully, activating aura was an instinct at that point, so despite the pain, she remained unharmed as she tumbled backward into a handspring. As she landed in a crouch, she looked up at what had hit her to see a large, cat-like Grimm baring its teeth at her, its pitch black fur gleaming in the sunlight. Along its spine protruded a row of white spikes that ran down its tail and a scar ran across its snout.

Despite being only half her size while on all fours, Yang knew Wisps were exceptionally fast, enough to give Ruby a run for her money, but also knew they definitely should not have been in the Emerald Forest. Normally they roamed around the mountains near southern Sanus. As she watched it though, two more of the creatures crept up to the larger one's side, clearly younger due to their smaller spikes and unscarred faces, and let out a deep growl. Ahead of her, she could see that Velvet and Coco were already fighting their own Grimm, and from the sound behind her, the others were too.

Knowing she likely wouldn't get any help, she extended her gauntlets and prepared to fight. However, the second she did, the Grimm leapt into action, the first charging at her while the others darted to her sides. They were so fast that they practically turned into wisps of black smoke as they ran. I guess that's where they got the name, Yang thought to herself as the scarred Grimm jumped into the air and began to spin, becoming a vicious whir of blades.

Dodging it with a simple sidestep, she slammed her fist into what she could only guess was its side, only for a pair of teeth to catch her fist instead. The creature landed from its spin on all fours and tugged at her hand, trying its best to pull her off balance; and as strong as she was, Yang knew the Grimm was stronger and that it would eventually succeed, so unloaded a shell into its face. It flinched away as the dust burned its skin, but the second it let go, another landed on her back and tried to bite into her shoulder. As she tried to pry its jaws away, the third slammed into her legs from behind and sent her to her knees. Sensing her vulnerability, they all leapt on her.

Think, Yang, she said to herself, feeling the claws and teeth try their best to break her aura as the sound of gnashing jaws filled her ears. Thankfully, her aura was tough, and would only grow stronger. It was then that the plan hit her, and all she had to do was wait a little longer. She needed to be more than just strong, she needed to be smart.

So, enduring the pain, she waited for the right moment. It didn't take long though, and as one of the Wisps landed in front of her, she activated her semblance and reared her arm back, slamming it into the packed ground that made the path. It ruptured beneath her, her strength cracking the earth and the discharge of a shell causing the rocks to fly into the air. The displacement was enough for the beast to attempt to jump back, and then was exactly what she wanted.

Striking out with one hand, she uppercutted a Wisp that was trying to claw at her right side, sending it into the air as well, and launched herself off the ground into a forward roll while the other still clung to her back. Being airborne, the older Grimm that had avoided her earlier attack had no way to dodge as she came crashing down upon him, the spines of both Grimm digging into each other. Holding her hands out in front of her, she let off another shot, forcing her backwards so that the Wisps impaled each other with enough force to turn both of them to actual smoke. When she landed on her back, she rolled to the side just in time to avoid a spiked tail that dug into the mud where her head had just been.

"Gotcha." She grinned and reached out to grab the appendage.

With a firm grasp of it, she twisted herself up to her feet and swung it around, smashing the beasts head against a tree and hearing an audible snap. Before it could turn to smoke though, she reared her arm back and flung it at another pack that were approaching Ruby, Weiss, and Blake; the spines on its back turning three more of them to smoke before it itself crumbled to nothing.

Five minutes later, when all the Grimm were dead, she leaned back against a tree and let out a deep breath. Closing her eyes, she focused her aura to remove the pain they'd left behind. It only took a second, but when it was gone, she let out a small breath of relief.

"Fucking tigers." She sighed as the group gathered.

"I think they were Pumas actually." Weiss said. "Cousins of Atlas' Sabyrs."

"Grimm have cousins?" Ruby asked.

"Well, Variants is a more accurate term, but that's all second year stuff."

"Eh, whatever they are, I hate them." Yang groaned and looked down at her dirty shorts. "I look like I've sh…"

"Please show some class, Yang."

"She's all class." Coco grinned and pulled her into a quick kiss. "You do look like you've shit yourself though."

"Ugh!"

"We can head back now anyway." Velvet chuckled at Weiss' disgust. "We need to report this to Headmaster Ozpin."

"Report what?" Asked Yatsu.

"These Grimm shouldn't have been so far north." Blake answered. "It's something he would want to know about."

"At least I can change when we get back." Yang grunted as Velvet tried to wipe some mud off of her.

With everyone seemingly in agreeance, the group began to make their way back towards the school. Thankfully it wasn't too far, but as Ruby and Weiss moved ahead to talk with Fox and Yatsu, Yang found herself walking beside Blake, who gave her a small look. There was something knowing in her eyes, but that could be anything with the faunus.

"What?" She asked, continuing Velvet's earlier effort to remove as much mud as she could.

"I heard your conversation with Coco and Velvet." Blake said plainly, her voice a little lower than usual. "About Ruby."

"Oh."

She stopped trying to get the mud out of her hair and turned to face her partner. She was very aware that one of the things Blake liked about Ruby was just how good she was, so wasn't surprised that the girl seemed to be about to raise an issue with what was said.

"They're right." That made her do a double take. "Ruby needs to understand that some people can't be helped."

"I thought you would be more opposed?"

"I don't want her dying because she tries to give the wrong person a chance." Blake sighed. "But you're also right. I don't want that part gone."

"Same. Maybe we just stick to making sure she doesn't hold back during sparring anymore."

"Sounds good to me."

Blake's eyes moved back to their other two teammates who were walking happily ahead of them. Yang knew it was going to be tough to convince Ruby that it was a good thing not to hold back, but if everything turned out as she was hoping, then she would be leaving in a few years to be with Coco and Velvet. Before she left though, she was definitely going to give Ruby the lessons she knew the girl needed if she was going to be the world's best Huntress that she wanted to be. That Yang knew she would be.

"Why hasn't she collapsed her Scythe?" Yang asked curiously, since the weapon was at her side instead of on her back like usual.

"She put a gear in wrong apparently while working on it earlier." Blake chuckled. "It won't go back."

One day she'll be the best, Yang thought to herself as she laughed and threw an arm around her friend's shoulder. But not today, I guess.

Raalm's Note

Hello all. So a little Yang chapter this time, to show things from the outside :) We kinda just wanted to show what is happening with Yang's life, how she sees things, and what her story is going to be about in the coming arc. As you can see, we are still trying to build upon the Hellk fight, and show the impacts it had on Yang herself, so hopefully you liked that. Also wanted to show a little more of the Yang/Coco/Velvet dynamic, since it's pretty hard to show from Ruby and Blake's perspective. Also, I can't help but put in some Weiss and Yang stuff :P Curse of being a Freezerburn shipper :P

There was also a small action scene in this one because we've realised the girls have been staying in their dorm a lot for the past few chapters. We'll be trying to get them out and about more in the future :)

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. There is still plenty of fluff and stuff to come, so I hope you are looking forward to that.

The next chapter releases on the 16th of June

Reviews

Guest - I'm glad you are enjoying the stories :D I am focusing on these two stories at the minute since they are approaching important arcs. But ones they are done, I will bet back to writing me crackships because I really do enjoy that :)

Bigchef (Guest) - Thank you :D I hope I can continue to impress :D We have a few more plans for Ren eventually, but he is very much a side character here since we decided to go with more of Team CFVY than JNPR.

d (Guest) - Thanks xD We definitely try our very best to make sure the feelings come across. It can be tough sometimes, remembering all the stuff we have in the series and not contradicting ourselves, but the reviews and stuff make it all worthwhile. Plus, We are lucky to have an audience that are very understanding when I have to push things back, though thankfully that isn't too often since we have a quite a few chapters done already. Currently we have up chapters 37-40 written out already, so there shouldn't really be any hold ups :) I'm happy you are enjoying it all though :D
