Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, 2 days before RWBY's match.)

Ruby looked at her new outfit in the mirror and turned to make sure it was ready.

She had a white high neck décolletage, blouse with brown studded wristbands on her arms. She still kept a black skirt with red tulle under it. Her waist cincher had been replaced by a corset with a red strip. She had a black belt with red bordering holding crescent rose and its ammo and brown straps on her blouse that let her use a brown backpack.

She also had thigh-high stockings with a long-stemmed rose and her boots had four straps and buckles. She looked at her cloak which had a singular clip on the right shoulder which had her emblem.

Ruby checked her slightly longer hair and pulled her hood down.

She looked at the tv in her room, the others were out and looking for gear for their weapons and preparing for the tournament when it happened.

Azul slowly opened the door and stepped inside. He was in his pajamas because he hadn't gotten the new clothes and he didn't have much in the way of backup clothes besides a few shirts, jeans, and the like.

"Merlot sucks," Azul muttered before Ruby turned to look at her boyfriend.

"You're the one who ended up trying to shield me from Sheetmetal and ended up getting ripped up clothes," Ruby said and Azul snorted and turned to look to the side.

"Well, I'm glad that Vermillion said he knows the perfect replacement to get from the stores and all that," Azul said while Ruby laughed and turned to look at the window with a smirk.

Ruby and Azul walked closer next to each other, and Azul sighed, he hummed, and he cracked his knuckles while he sat down on the bed.

"I'm just glad Merlot got his entire little company shut down… But I wondered what will happen now that Merlot still has that serum." Azul said while Ruby nodded and walked over to look at the ceiling.

"I heard Professor Ozpin and then we're going to go after him," Ruby stated, Azul turned to look at her and sighed while he flipped off the bed and he cleared his throat.

"I didn't know that I do think Merlot had a boss, he doesn't seem like he's the top dog in the fight," Azul said before he looked at the ground.

"Damn it, I shot myself in the foot," Azul muttered before Ruby giggled and tapped him on the head cutely.

"Yes, yes you did," Ruby said while she turned and walked to the door.

"I'm going to go talk to Ironwood and see who we're going to end up fighting next in the tournament… Or who we're fighting first." Ruby said and Azul smirked before Ruby kept batting on his arm and Azul kept laughing at.

"You're not better than me when it comes up to not putting your foot in your mouth," Azul said and he chuckled in amusement while he continued to keep being pelted.

"Shut, your stupid face!" Ruby yelled before she sighed and fell on the bed next to Azul who sighed and patted her on the head with amusement.

"I hate you sometimes, you're a stupid boyfriend sometimes," Ruby muttered while Azul hummed and looked at the window once again.

"Trust me, it's cute when you do that. We both mess up, Rubes. I'm just wondering what problems we are going to have you know, next?" Azul stated while he pulled over at his scroll while he started typing on it.

"We still don't know who hired Roman and the rest of the bad guys in the White Fang. We also don't know Merlot's plan; I doubt we're going to be done anytime soon." Azul stated while Ruby looked over at the scroll and Azul scrolled through the news.

"Yeah, I want to know what they're going to do next. I do know we're going to have to deal with them sooner or later." Ruby muttered while Azul rubbed his eyes and chuckled.

"Yeah, we're going to have to bring him done, we have a lot of problems soon. I'm going to keep looking through the news and all that, see all the juicy stuff." Azul said and he got up and walked to the door.

"I'll be rooting for you when we get to the throwing punches or bullets or whatever it is, we end up doing." Ruby heard from Azul before he rushed over to Ruby and kissed her on the cheek before he closed the door and smiled with amusement and rushed off towards the door.

Ruby smirked and then turned to look to the side while she turned back to the window again and looked at the slowly setting sun for the moment.

Author notes

phew, another chapter is done! I want to point out that Azul is going to have a new look next chapter and the others have their season 4 looks. Season 3 is going to be different in the story and won't be much like the show hopefully. Next chapter will be next Monday or so and will show team RWBY fighting ABRN. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
