Ruby's POV
To say Ruby was confused is just scratching the surface of it. What just happened? Why did Weiss do what she did, and more importantly, why did she go along with it and enjoy it? What was happening to her? She never knew she could feel this way. It was… incredible. The way Weiss looked at her in the locker room, sure it unnerved her a bit, but she could not lie and say that she did not enjoy it. She knew that the white haired girl liked her… sort of. She had her suspicions ok? Don't be judgemental. But for her to do something like that, Ruby did not think Weiss would ever do something like that, she's too proper to commit such… indecent acts. Although she could not deny what transpired in that room. The SOUNDS Weiss made… oh Oum, she could not get it out of her head. Just thinking about it made her feel warm and lewd all over again.
Ruby was so in thought that she did not hear Professor Goodwitch call for her to come down to the arena to fight. "RUBY ROSE." Glynda jelled. " Get down here right now or ill drag you onto this arena myself!"
With a jolt Ruby snapped out of her thoughts, jumped out of her seat and rushed down to the arena and went to stand on the opposite side of where team CRDL was already waiting for the match to begin. "What were you thinking about to distract you so badly" Glynda asked with a stern voice that demanded to be answered. " Well? I'm listening."
Ruby suddenly started blushing and a quick glance at Weiss revealed her to also be blushing and attempting to hide it behind her fan. " Well you see… I umm… Was thinking about my strategy for this match and was so consumed in it that I did not hear you Professor." Ruby said with an uneasy tone to her voice. Sighing, Glynda said " Whatever you say. Are you ready for your fight?" Ruby nodded so Glynda continued. " Ok, you know the rules by now but for the sake of refreshing your memories I will explain again." Bringing up the Aura meter on the big screen in the middle of the arena showing the Aura levels for team CRDL in separate meters for each member and next to them a meter displaying Ruby's Aura, she said. "These meters shows the Aura levels for each person participating in this match. As you can see, it displays the Aura of team CRDL in separate bars, one for each person on the left side of the board. It also shows Ruby Rose's Aura level on the right side of the board. There are two victory conditions, only one of which has to be met in order to be the victor. The first one is winning by Ring-out, which means that you have to force your opponent out of the ring. The other is to reduce you opponents Aura level to fifteen percent. Continuing the fight after you have won will mean immediate suspension. Also please try not to injure each other to the extent that I have to take them to the medical wing."
Looking at both of the sides to confirm that they have heard her she said. "You may proceed when ready" as she stepped out of the arena and put up the barrier around the arena to protect herself and the audience. Once the barrier was up the all the participants took up a ready stance and waited for the other side to make the first move.
LINE BREAK
RUBY'S POV
As Ruby took her place on the opposite side of the arena from team CRDL, she could hear Professor Goodwitch explaining the rules of the match for the umpteenth time this semester. Although she knew that is was important to know the rules of the match because of the harsh punishments that would follow the breaking of any of the rules which has been explained by Glynda. If you attack a combatant after the match has been declared over would mean that you are attempting to physically injure a student outside of practice which would mean suspension or in severe cases could mean getting expelled. If you attempt to harm a combatant beyond that which is deemed acceptable by the moderator of the match, you will be immediately suspended, or in the case that you kill a combatant you will immediately be expelled.
Ruby stood ready as Glynda signalled that they could begin by placing a near see through but slightly purple barrier which protected the audience from stray bullets and debris. She waited for team CRDL to make the first move. Cardin and Russel each ran in opposite directions to thy and flank Ruby while Sky and Dove rushed down the middle to take her on head first. Pulling out Crescent Rose she pushed some of her aura into it to activate the driving mechanisms which opened it to its Scythe form and once open she activated her semblance which she used to rush forward in a flurry of rose pedals towards Sky and Dove.
She reached them before they had time to react, she kicked Sky in the stomach which sent him flying out of the arena, Dove raised his weapon but Ruby simply jumped over him and grabbed him by his collar and with a grunt through him after Sky out of the arena. Looking up she saw the word eliminated over Sky and Dove's aura meters as a she also heard Glynda say "Eliminated by ring-out."
Sensing the incoming attack Ruby brought up her scythe to block the attack from Cardin. She again activated her semblance which took her to the middle of the arena. As she landed she brought her scythe around in a spinning motion which blocked the shots that was fired from Russel's knife-pistols. Hearing a yell she ducked to allow Cardin's mace to pass over her head which then slammed into Russel's side and flung him across the arena where he barely managed to stay inside of the ring. "Hey! Not cool dude." Russel shouted at Cardin which made him flinch. Ruby then proceeded to spin around and swing her scythe around her in a clockwise motion towards Cardin, which he blocked with ease. Before Cardin could make his next move she pulled the trigger on the handle which fired a bullet loaded with fire dust at Cardin that hit him in his shoulder and taking a few percent of his Aura meter. He recovered quickly and transformed his mace into its shotgun mode and fired a few consecutive shots at Ruby which gave her no choice but to retreat a few meters. Suddenly she felt something hit her in the back as she did not sense Russel creeping up behind her. She pulled her scythe under her and fired off a few rounds with gravity dust in them which launched her up into the sky.
Activating the mechanism in her scythe she transformed it into its sniper mode and aimed at Cardin who has recovered by then. She fired rounds with ice dust at him which he absorbed by hitting it with his mace which then promptly froze. While he was occupied getting the ice off of his mace she used her semblance to catapult herself down towards Russel and kick him behind the head. As he fell she sliced across his torso with Crescent which fully depleted his aura and took him out of the match. Landing on her feet she turned towards Cardin to see him charging at her with his mace positioned above his head to bring down on her head. Smiling Ruby ran towards him and just as they were about to collide Cardin brought his mace down at her which she dodged by falling down into a slide past him. She came up just as Cardin was turning, hooked her scythe behind his feet and pulled it out from under him. As he fell she brought her scythe around her body and hit him with the blunt end of Crescent which knocked him out of the arena and brought his Aura down to three percent as he hit the wall with a load crash.
"Cardin Winchester is eliminated. The match goes to Ruby Rose." Glynda said as everyone cheered. Ruby promptly walked back to her team and took her seat next to Weiss, which proceeded to hug her tightly and quickly pulled away with a blush as she realized everyone's eyes was fixed on the pair. " Umm… t-this isn't what it looks like" Weiss quickly said as Yang Snickered about the Heiress's embarrassment about the situation. "Students, may I have your attention" Glynda said with a stern voice. "This was a truly splendid match to be sure. Ruby, you have once again proven why you are the number one huntress in all of the kingdoms and why you already have your licence at the young age of 18." Glynda said while looking at Ruby. "Now students, let us carry on with class, I ask for the next combatants to please go and fetch your gear from you lockers."
As the next few matches took place Ruby's thoughts was once again occupied by Weiss and what happened this morning. Leaning over to Weiss, who also seemed to be in thought, she whispered "Weiss… about what happened in the dorm earlier…" Weiss looked over and her face lost all amusement when she heard what they were talking about. The Heiress then proceeded to say "What about it? Is something wrong… Did I do something wrong? I knew it was too soon to do this with you, I knew I should have kept my feelings secret from you. Please forgive me If I forced myself onto you. Please don't hate me… I-Il do anything you ask of m…" Weiss was cut off by Ruby putting her hand over Weiss's mouth and saying to her. "Shhh… You did nothing wrong Weiss. I didn't want to say anything, but I have sort of known about your feelings for a while now." She said as the white haired girl covered her face with her hands to hide her embarrassment. " but… I-I have to admit that what happened earlier was a rather pleasant surprise. I like you too Weiss… I… just need a little time to process everything that has happened recently, that's all. I would be delighted to have you as my lover."
Before Weiss could recover to say anything else the bell sounded and when everyone was leaving Professor Goodwitch said in a loud voice. "Ruby Rose. Please come with me to Professor Ozpin's office immediately, he wants to speak with you." Ruby immediately went to Glynda's side and they went towards professor Ozpin's tower together. As they walked past the rest of team RWBY, Ruby told Weiss. "Weiss everything's okay, go to the next class, I will see you later in at the dorm." Weiss could only nod in answer as she watched Ruby walk towards Ozpin's tower.'I hope Ruby's going to be okay…' Was what Weiss thought as she went to her next class.

RUBY'S POV
Ruby was stressed out. As she did not know what was Ozpin wanted to see her about. She hoped she wasn't in trouble for some bizarre reason. It was probably about some sort of mission she has to go on, Ozpin was always secretive about the missions he gave her. It was to be expected really, as most of the time it was secret missions which had the lives of thousands of people at stake. It was often missions regarding the White Fang or an extermination mission to get rid of some extremely dangerous Skin-walker or Dragon which as threatening a settlement. Other times it was assassination missions to take out some person on the council or a high op in a company that was supporting the White Fang, but Ruby could not be sure why Ozpin would deem to meet her now of all times. It was probably something that immediately needed their attention. As Ruby and Glynda got into the elevator she asked the professor. "Professor, do you know what this is about? Am I in trouble?" Smiling Glynda answered the red haired girl, who was obviously nervous about the upcoming conversation with Ozpin. "Ruby, you don't have to worry, you are not in any kind of trouble. As for what this is about… I have no idea. But stress not, we will know soon." Just then the elevator stopped and the doors to Ozpins office opened revealing a huge clock themed room.
As Ruby stepped into the large office she felt a few pairs of eyes on her. Looking towards Ozpin she saw that he was not alone. With him stood General Ironwood, her uncle Crow and a few people she has never seen before. "Good day miss Rose, I hope I'm not disturbing you while you are busy with something important am I?" Ozpin asked as he looked away from a person he was speaking to and drawing the whole everyone in the rooms attention toward her. "N-no professor, I am actually quite grateful for an excuse to be absent from class, as it was getting quite boring in there." Ruby replied getting a few confused looks from some of the gathered people.
"I probably should start by explaining the situation to everyone who has not yet had the pleasure of meeting Miss Rose, as her identity has remained secret from everyone until now." Ozpin said while gesturing towards Ruby. "Before you stands the infamous agent Rose as you have come to know her. She is the operative that brought down Adam Taurus in the raid on the White Fang main base a few months ago is also responsible for many assassinations on government officials who have been removed from society for the greater good of Remnant. She is also the person responsible for singlehandedly killing an Elder Witch and an Elder Skinwalker." Those last statements brought about gasps of surprise, admiration and even disbelief.
"Now I know what everyone is thinking. How can a girl as small as this bring kill monsters such as those? Well the answer is really quite simple. She is simply the best there has been in a thousand generations, there's no other explanation for it." Ozpin said with a smile pointed towards Ruby which made her blush. "Ozpin, cut to the chase already, we don't have all day. Now tell us what is so important that you insisted the whole council be here in person and why we couldn't just have used halo communication for this." Ironwood cut in before Ozpin could say more.
Ozpin's face suddenly took on a very serious expression as he stood up and brought up a halo screen on his table and opened a map of some forest with a mountain situated in the middle of it. "Well you see, I have recently obtained information from a certain Hunter of mine that there has formed a huge nest of Elder grimm, Skinwalkers In a cave a few hours flight from here, situated deep in the Emerald forest." Ozpin said while looking at Crow who only nodded. "The exact numbers are unknown but it is estimated that there are at the very least a Hundred Elder Grimm in the area with an unknown number of Skinwalkers also in the vicinity. The Grimm seems to be bringing food to the cave, anything from people to wildlife to even other dead Grimm. The Skinwalkers appear to be guarding the entrance to the cave and barring entrance to any Grimm not bearing food. It is unknown what is in that cave but it is estimated to be of Threat level SS or higher."
That statement brought a gasp out of all the council members in the room including Ironwood who seemed just as surprised about the new development as everyone else was. "Ozpin, you can't mean to send her in do you?" Asked one of the council members. "Unfortunately, Miss Rose here is the only person qualified to do this job, as she is already a Huntress and the best one we have at that. She is also the one with the most experience handling Elder Grimm and Skinwalkers we have to our disposal. Any questions?" When nobody said a word Ozpin took that as conformation and continued. "Miss Rose, I trust that you don't have any objections to this potentially fatal mission were about to send you on?"
"No Professor, I don't. I won't fail you on this mission. I will exterminate the threat in the name of Remnant." Ruby said with a serious tone. "Good, I will send the details to your personal scroll, feel free to go take anything out of the armoury that you deem necessary for the mission. You will depart tomorrow at 0500 hours. You are also excused from class for the rest of the day to give you time to prepare everything you need." Said the Professor.
As Ruby walked into the elevator and the door began to close Ozpin said. "O and Miss Rose, good luck… you'll need it"
