Hero: A RWBY AU Story
Chapter 10
PATCH
Ruby sadly stares at the ground, awaiting a response from Taiyang, who's eyes are wide in surprise and/or shock. Outside, Yang is alone and staring at the two from a nearby window. Lowering her head, she rests her head on the glass, sighing.
"What's going on?"
Yang quickly stands straight and turns to see Jaune, who stops next to him. He sees what is happening inside and looks concerned, before turning to Yang.
"What's wrong with Ruby?"
Yang tries to begin to make some sort of excuse. But she begins to stutter. Turning, she sees Weiss, Blake and the others, who are watching Nora stand with one hand. Sighing, she grabs Jaune arm and drags him to the back of the house, where no one is present.
"You want to tell me, what's happening?" Jaune said. "And don't lie to me."
"I won't." Yang said. "...You need to know about someone."
"Someone?" Juane asked, confused. "Who?"
"...Somebody Ruby lost, last year."
Inside, the daughter and father still sit in silence, even when the tea kettle is blowing out steam. Taiyang sighs and stands up. Walking to the kettle, he moves it aside and turns off the gas, the flame extinguished. Taiyang the proceeds to rests his hands on the counter behind him.
"Dad?"
Taiyang lifts his head and looks at Ruby.
"Aren't you going to say something?"
"What do you want me to say, Ruby?" Taiyang asked. "You kept this from me. Your own father. Why didn't you tell me?"
"...I was scared." Ruby answered. "About how you'd react."
"Ruby." Taiyang said, as he stands straight. "I understand that Jupiter was your best friend. And that you cared about her very much. But the fact that you two were...together. I'm hurt that you never said anything to me."
"We were only together for two weeks." Ruby said. "And it ended when she...she passed. That's why I kept myself isolated, after her funeral. I just wished that we had more time, to be with each other. But if she had to go...who was I to stop her?"
Taiyang then proceeds to sit back down and look at Ruby, who has tears falling down her face.
"How far did you go?"
Ruby looks at Taiyang with a confused face. "What?"
"Your relationship. Please tell me you didn't...you know!"
Ruby's eyes go wide and she begins waves her hands. "Ew! Ew! Dad! No! We didn't!"
"Well that's a relief." Taiyang said. "Just tell me, how far."
"...We didn't go very far. Just holding hands and pecks on each other's cheek."
Taiyang gives a look that makes Ruby sighs.
"Okay." Ruby said. "We...we kissed...on the lips once. It was shortly before she died. We both wanted this, Dad. And we didn't tell anyone, except for her parents. And well...I told Yang, after I got myself back up. She's probably the only one to know. And now you too."
"Ruby." Taiyang said. "You know, I would've approved of this."
"...Really?" Ruby asked. "I was 14, and I was already dating someone. You think, you would've approved then?"
"Of course I would've!" Taiyang answered. "Jupiter was kind and sweet. And she knew how to make you smile, even when I couldn't. And I can tell, when you were truly hapy, you were with her. You cared about each other so much, that I wished I figured it out, by then. But yes. I would've approved."
Sniffling, Ruby wipes her nose and the tears from her eyes.
"I wish I would've known, back then."
She then stands up and walks to the stairs. She then stops before she goes up and looks at Taiyang.
"Thank you for telling me, Ruby." He said.
"...Yeah." Ruby said, before walking upstairs. As she makes it to the to the upper floor, she sees Zwei happily barking and smiles.
"We still need to talk about Arc, you know!"
Ruby groans in annoyance. "Way to ruin the moment."
OUTSIDE
Jaune, looking a little shocked, sits on a tree stump while Yang rests on the wall of her house, her arms crossed.
"Wow." Jaune said. "I can see why Ruby kept this a secret. And she's usually bad at keeping secrets."
"Just don't tell her, that you know." Yang said.
"Does anyone else know?"
"...Well there's me. And you. My Uncle Qrow. Weiss. And now my dad."
Jaune raises his eyebrows. "Wait. Weiss knows?"
"...I had to." Yang said. "She found out by accident. Which is why you have to keep this from the others."
"Relax, Yang." Jaune said. "I won't. But I do want to help brighten her day. Got any ideas?"
"Well, we can't go into town. A lot of the buildings are still being rebuilt. It would just bring back the bad memories. Hmmm..."
Yang thinks for a minute, before smiling.
"I got it! Since you guys are planning on leaving this weekend, I just thought of an idea. A camping trip."
"Camping?" Jaune said.
"Yeah. Ruby loves camping. We used to go with our dad to this lake in the middle of Patch. Had this annual trip that we used to take. But that changed when I left for Beacon."
"Hmm." Jaune said. "I think that would sound a like a good idea."
"Awesome! We could all pack some stuff and we head off into the forest before sunset."
"Yeah." Jaune said. "Let's do it. If it's going to lift Ruby's spirits, then I'm in. I'll go tell the others."
INSIDE
Ruby sighs as she sits down on her bed. Zwei happily jumps onto her lap. Ruby smiles as she pets his head.
"Not exactly how I wanted this morning to be, boy. Had to tell Dad about Jupiter. But it actually was a relief, to finally tell him. And I guess I feel better, now. Maybe because you're here."
Zwei happily barks, making Ruby giggle. A knock is then heard.
"Ruby Rose. Come on out, this instant." Yang said, from outside the door.
Ruby stands up, looking confused, before going to the door. When she opens it, she it met with a bag to her face, causing her to fall to the ground. Yang laughs a little, before helping her sister up.
"Pack up at least a couple day's worth of clothes, sis." Yang said.
"Why?" Ruby asked. "Where are we going?"
"Ruby Rose!" Yang said, feigning shock. "Are you telling me, you forgot what tomorrow is?"
"Um...Thursday?"
Yang raises her eyebrow and gives a knowing look. Ruby quickly goes to her calendar and examines it. Hey eyes open wide and she smiles. She turns to Yang, who nods. Ruby jumps up and down, while squealing. But she then stops.
"Wait! I thought we stopped after-"
"After I attended Beacon, yes." Yang said. "But since Jaune and the others are planning on leaving in a couple days, I figured a camping trip would be great. You in?"
"Are you kidding? Of course, I'm in. When do we leave?"
"In about...3 hours or so." Yang answered.
"Dad and Uncle Qrow coming?" Ruby asked.
"Dad, yes. Qrow, I don't know. But I got a feeling, he'll be there too. Now come on. Make sure you have everything. Bring a swimming suit, too."
BEACON - OZPIN'S OFFICE
Ozpin and Winter are conversing in his office. Goodwitch is nearby, looking a bit surprised.
"Thank you for coming, Miss Schnee." Ozpin said. "I take it, that your current residence is comforting enough for you."
Winter responds with her cracking her neck and groaning. "It's enough for me."
"You do realize that we have living quarters for Huntsmen and Huntresses here in Beacon, Miss Schnee." Goodwitch said. "Just say the word, and I can make it happen."
"I would like to, Glynda." Winter said. "But I must decline."
"And would you like to share why?" Ozpin asked.
"I have yet to tell Weiss, that I am no longer an Atlas soldier. And I'd like to tell her on my own time."
"I see." Ozpin said. "Very well, then. Let's move on then. The information, in regarding Cinder Fall speaking to Adam Taurus of the White Fang has been true, unfortunately. I have a couple Faunus friends, who worked in the White Fang, who can confirm this."
"This is troubling." Winter said. "The White Fang were rumored to have been under orders of Roman Torchwick, before his imprisonment. But now him and Fall? What are we going to do? Especially about Amber?"
"Rest assured, Miss Schnee." Ozpin said. "After Fall's plan failed, I had Amber moved to a safe location in Vale. They won't find her there."
"Good." Winter asked. She goes silent for a few seconds. "Can...can I ask you something? Something personal."
"Of course." Ozpin said, smiling.
"...I'm...I'm beginning to have second thoughts." Winter said. "Me leaving Atlas. Becoming a Huntress. And taking that arm with me. I keep telling myself that I did the right thing. Not just for me. But to Miss Xiao Long. Ironwood's carelessness caused the loss of her arm. But...I basically committed treason. And I could never go back to Atlas, without being arrested and tried."
"It is a burden, yes." Ozpin said. "Knowing that you cannot go back home. And you are wanted by the Atlesian army, now."
Winter lowers her head.
"But I assure you, Miss Schnee." Ozpin continues. "You most certainly did the right thing."
Winter goes back to looking at Ozpin.
"You knew what James is now capable of. And you left before he did something to you or your sister. You also gave Miss Xiao Long her life back, when she was on the verge of giving up. You decided to become a Huntress, because you want to be a good person. Doing the right thing. Be a hero to someone or to everyone. And trust me, Miss Schnee. As long as you are a part of this group, you will be well protected. I assure you."
Winter stands up and bows to Ozpin. "Thank you."
Ozpin notices that Winter wants to say something else and chuckles. "You can talk to Glynda about where you'll be staying."
"Oh, dammit!" Winter said. "Okay. I'll stay here. But I can't let Weiss know that I'm here. Now, I'm going to have to cancel that apartment deal."
"Already done." Ozpin said.
Winter is a bit shocked. "Huh?"
"I already spoke to the landlord, this morning. She said that it was alright. We go way back."
Winter scoffs. "You planned on having me stay, didn't you?"
Ozpin just smiles. "Clever, huh?"
"...I'll go get my belongings."
Winter turns to go to the elevator, entering it and going down.
"Sometimes, you even surprise me, Oz." Goodwitch said.
"Indeed." Ozpin said. "Now, then. Shall we meet at that nightclub, that Port talks about?"
"Oh, geez." Goodwitch said, annoyed.
"Glynda. We've both been holed up in this academy for too long. And we are both very stressed."
"You're stressed?" Goodwitch asked.
"I have my moments." Ozpin said. "I'm only simply asking if you'd like to accompany me. What's the phrase that the young kids say now? 'Cut loose.' I'd understand if you don't want to, Glynda. I'm just asking."
Goodwitch is silence for a few seconds, before sighing. "What time should I be there?"
PATCH - FOREST
A campfire is set, where Ruby and the others are sitting in a circle, and tents are set up. They are talking and laughing, while Jaune arrives and sits down next to Ruby.
"Qrow and Tai are going back to the house to pick up some fishing rods for tomorrow." He said. "They'll be back in an hour or so."
"So I guess that mean, that I'm in charge." Yang said with confidence.
"Yeah, right!" Nora said. "Just because you're the oldest in the family, doesn't mean you should be in charge."
"Oh, really? Then who should?"
"Okay." Ruby said. "Can we not argue about leadership? We're supposed to have fun."
"I agree." Jaune said. "But since it's nigh time, we really can't much fun."
"Hmmm...so what could we do, then?" Weiss asked.
The group try to think of an idea, before Nora stands up.
"I've got it! Since we've all known each other for the past year, I feel like we need to tell each other something that we've never told anyone!"
"You want us...to tell a secret?" Blake asked, confused.
"Well, when you put it that way...yes!" Nora answered.
"Nora." Ren said. "That sounds like a terrible idea. I'm sure nobody here, wants to let out any secrets of any kind."
"Even...very small secrets?" Weiss asked.
Nora's smile goes wide. "Exactly! How about I go first?"
Nora begins to think, while skipping around the campfire.
"I've got one! Okay, then. Bear with me. This could be a sad one. So please don't pity me."
Nora then quickly sits down. And to everyone's surprise, her smile fades as she sighs.
"I was an orphan at the age of 8. Been pretty much by myself, going to garbage for food, finding places to sleep. Pretty much learned how to survive. Then I met Ren when I was 10. And we never left each other side, ever since."
"Whoa." Jaune said, looking surprised. "That's really heavy, Nora. You know you didn't have to tell us that."
Nora just smiles a little. "I was going to tell you guys, sooner or later. Might as well tell you now. Besides, it was beneficial. I got meet Ren. And later, we get to meet you guys. Upside, right?"
"Thank you for telling us, Nora." Pyrrha said. "And yes, we'll keep this to ourselves."
Blake, who has been thinking, decides to stand up.
"I've got something to say. And because Nora shared something, I think it's fair, that you should know more about me."
Blake sighs before going.
"I have family. A mom and dad, of course. Only child. It was just me and them. My parents live pretty far away from Vale. You may have heard of the island of Menagerie. It was very peaceful time. Away from any prejudice towards the Faunus. I loved it. And my parents..." She then raises her voice. "My parents were the best!"
Blake the lowers her head and looks sad.
"But they probably hate me, now."
"Why?" Ruby asked.
"...Before I left with the White Fang, they tried to convince me to stay." She then sits down. "I called them cowards and I screamed at them. Haven't seen them, ever since."
The group looks at her with pity.
"I want to go see them again. But...but I'm scared. I'm scared that when I knock on that door, they won't answer. That they'll reject me, after what I've done. And if that happens...I'll have nobody else."
"You're wrong." Weiss said, causing Blake to look at her. "You have me. Ruby. Yang. And everyone else who cares for you. We're a family too. And you shouldn't forget that."
Blake smiles and wipes the tears from her face. "Thanks."
Weiss then stands up. "Okay. I've got a secret to say. Despite having lived a luxurious life in Atlas...I find Vale to be a better home than Atlas."
"Really?" Yang asked.
"It's true!" Weiss exclaims. "Living in Vale turned out to be much better than Atlas. Not because Atlas is cold or anything. But Vale is a place where people don't demand one thing to others by force. Where people don't care about their money. Or their hair, for crying out loud. Or their stupid problems."
Weiss smiles.
"I don't miss Atlas at all. I do miss one of the butlers that serve at my house. Klein was the kindest person that I knew, growing up. And Winter was there to cheer me up, too. But I don't ever think about wanting to go back home. And being around you guys changed who I was before. And I don't regret choosing Beacon rather than Atlas." She then sits down.
"That was very nice of you to say, Weiss." Ruby said.
"Okay, then." Nora said. "Anyone else? Jaune?"
"You guys pretty much know one of my secrets." Juane said.
"Right." Nora said. "How about you, Ruby? Got anything to tell us?"
Ruby's smile begins to fade away and looks reluctant to tell. "Pass."
"What about you, Yang?" Sun said. "Surely you have something that you'd love to share with us."
"Hmm...I think I do." Yang said. "Many times in Beacon, there were some things that I kept secret from. Some I will not say. And some I may say. That way I could protect the dignities of my friends and also that my dad wouldn't have to worry. Especially of my relationships."
"Relationships?" Jaune asked. "So like...boyfriend problems?"
"...Yeah. Boyfriend problems." Yang said, beginning to look sad.
Jaune then realizes something and is surprised. "Girlfriend problems?"
Everyone except for Ruby is surprised.
"I've always had an attraction to both genders, ever since I knew that I was not like any other girls. But I always prefer females more than the other. And there is this one girl who I never thought that I'd ever fall for. But I don't even know if she even feels the same way. It doesn't even matter. She with someone now. A boy that she likes. So what's the point, then? I'm happy that she's with someone. But I feel sad that it wasn't me. Sure. I'll find someone eventually. I just wish it was her."
Yang then turns around and walks away towards the nearby lake, while the others watch her go.
Later, when everyone is in their tents sleeping, Blake is still awake, looking at the sleeping bag, Yang uses. Ruby, Jaune, Sun are sleeping in their own sleeping bags. But Yang's is empty. She then gets out of her own sleeping bag and grabs a robe. After putting the robe on, she quietly exits the tent and head towards the lake. She sees Yang, who sits on top of a rock, staring at the water. She then proceeds to walk towards Yang, who turns to see who's behind her.
"Hey, Blake."
Blake notices that Yang's voice sounded gloom, and proceeds to find room on the rock and sits next to her.
"You haven't slept." Blake said.
"...Nope." Yang said. "Been here, since the campfire. Just staring at the water."
Blake then stares at the calm water, before looking at Yang.
"That girl." She said. "The one that you talked about...it's me, isn't it?"
Yang stares at Blake, before she nods. "Yeah. I just didn't want to say it, in front of the others. Especially Sun."
"...I...I don't know what to say." Blake said. "How long?"
"Since our talk in that classroom." Yang answered. "Before the dance. I wanted to ask you to be my date. But I was too nervous to do so."
"You get nervous?" Blake asked.
Yang chuckles. "I do." Her smile fades. "Blake. If I had told you how I felt about you...would you have felt the same?"
Blake lowers her head and just stares at the dirt that lies on on the ground.
"Maybe. Perhaps. I really don't know, Yang. How would I had reacted, then?"
"Maybe with shock." Yang said. "And you would've just ran away."
"Yeah, probably." Blake said.
Yang then turns to look at her partner. "Blake. It doesn't matter, anymore. You're with Sun, now. I understand. And I'm happy for you. I really am. It's just going to take time for me to get used to it."
"I just hope that we could still be friends, after this." Blake said.
Yang seemed surprised. "Are you kidding me? Of course we will. I'm not letting our friendship be damaged, because of a boy. But...if he does anything that involve you getting hurt...I'm going to give him a world of pain."
"He won't." Blake said, smiling. "And if he does...I'll give him a world of pain, first."
The two of them begun to chuckle, before they both stand up.
"Tired, huh?" Blake asked.
Yang yawns. "Yep. I'm about ready for a good nap."
Blake chuckles. "Well come on, then."
She wraps her arm around Yang, and the two begin to walk back to the campsite.
CLUB
People are dancing in the club and loud music is playing. At the bar, the bearded man that Yang encountered before is cleaning a glass. And the two women in red and white stand nearby, watching the dance floors. The bearded man raises his eyebrows as Ozpin, wearing his usual suit, sits down.
"It's rare to see you here, Headmaster." Junior said.
"I have a reason for why I'm here." Ozpin said. "And that reason is wearing a sparkling lavender dress...and has her head on the table."
Ozpin turns to look at Goodwitch, who has her head on the table. She also has her hand covering her face. Ozpin just smiles and moves her hand away.
"No need to hide yourself, Glynda. None of our students are currently in this venue."
"How can you tell?" Goodwitch asked.
"...I made sure of it." Ozpin said.
Goodwitch then properly sits back up and straightens herself, before sighing. "I can't believe you talking me into coming here."
"We both needed to leave that school for a time, Gynda." Ozpin said. "Even faculty members need to have a little fun, every once in a while."
Ozpin then nods at Junior, who nods back and prepares a couple drinks. As this happens, Ozpin hums to the music that plays. Junior finishes the drinks and sets them in front of Ozpin, who immediately slides one to Glynda. He then takes him and raises his. Glynda stares at Ozpin before raising her glass. Shaking her head, she then smiles and the two tap their glasses.
THE NEXT DAY - PATCH - LAKE
Ruby is on the ground, struggling with a big fish that she caught. Jaune and Yang are watching her wrestle with the fish. They then lift to look at their own normal-sized fish, compared to the Ruby's, which is about 2 times bigger.
"How does Ruby get so lucky, every...single...time we go fishing?" Yang exclaims, before pouting.
"I won't tell you, why!" Ruby exclaims, while pinning the fish. "But we'll be eating good tonight!"
Jaune the begins to chuckle loudly, making Yang turn to him, seeing him smile at Ruby. Squinting her eyes, she proceeds to grab him by his hood.
"Alright, Vomit Boy! You and I need to talk!"
Yang then proceeds to drag Jaune, from his hood into the woods. They two go until the others are barely visible. Jaune frees himself and coughs.
"Next time Yang, let me walk instead of choking me to near death." Jaune said.
"Forget about that." Yang said, her voice sounding serious as she crosses her eyes. "I'm going to ask you a simple question. And you just need to answer."
"Um...okay?"
"...Do you like my sister?"
"Well, she's a pretty cool person to talk to. We relate to many subjects. And she has-"
"Not like that!" Yang exclaims, before lowering her voice. "I mean...do have a "Like" her! You know? In love?"
Jaune's eyes go wide upon hearing that.
"Well?"
Jaune begins to rub the back of his head, before talking. "Well...I think I...I do." He then shields himself. "Please don't hurt me!"
"Why would I hurt you?" Yang asked, confused.
"Well you know. Overprotective sister. She's younger than me. Your father can be threatening. Do I need to go on?"
Yang sighs. "Jaune. You need to understand something. Yes, I can be overprotective. But there will be the day, when she will not let me protect her. She's got to grow up someday. I know that. And...I'll be honest here. You might actually help out with that."
Jaune is surprised. "Really?"
"I do. She told me how you helped her, when she got depressed. It's almost hard to cheer Ruby up when she's like that. My team. My father. Qrow. And now you. Despite her cheerful attitude, she has matured a bit more because of you."
"So...what? You're...okay with-"
"I'm not saying I am approving of it, Vomit Boy." Yang said, smiling. "But I won't stop you."
Jaune us about to speak, when Yang covers his mouth.
"But...you do anything that makes her sad...you will regret it."
Jaune nods his head, looking somewhat scared. Yang chuckles and wraps her arm around. "Alright, then. You will take your time in telling her, right?"
"Absolutely." Jaune answers.
"Good." Yang said. "Now then...let's head back to the campsite. We don't want Nora thinking something feisty is going on between the two of us."
Juane goes eyes-wide, making Yang laugh as they walk.
CAVE
Cinder yells as she slams her hands on the table, where Roman, Emerald and Mercury are sitting.
"Cowards!" Cinders exclaims. "All of them!"
"Told you." Roman said. "Even Taurus knew the minute you used him, he would take his precious Fang away. Hard to believe they waited days to finally tell us."
"Explains why they were missing, after Patch." Mercury said. "They were useful to us. But now-"
"But now they leave a strain in our plans." Cinder said, sitting down. "A small one, though. Salem would've killed Adam, even if he stayed. But let's focus on the current plans. Emerald."
Emerald lifts her head and looks at Cinder.
"You and Mercury go to Vale. Meet with my informant there. She's bound to know something about the Fall Maiden's current location, by now."
"And...if she doesn't?" Emerald asked.
"Must you really ask me that?" Cinder asked.
Emerald stares at Cinder, before nodding. She and Mercury proceed to leave the cave.
"And what about me?" Roman asked.
"You still have that contact from the nightclub?" Cinder asked.
"I do. Why?"
"Meet with him. Ask him about anyone looking for work."
"A recruitment mission, huh? Eh. Better than staying in this place. Just a question, though. How do you expect me to just go to Vale, when I'm all over the wanted posters."
Cinder smiles. "I reached out to your missing partner. The mute was bored of hiding after the tournament. And she is most willing to work with you again."
Roman stands up and walks to the cave entrance. "Nothing like a good reunion."
Cinder watches at Roman leaves.
THE NEXT DAY - PATCH
RWBY, JNPR and Sun are outside the Ruby and Yang's house. JNPR, Sun, Blake and Weiss have their stuff packed and ready to go.
"Well!" Nora exclaims. "This has been a crazy week. Wouldn't you say?"
"It certainly has been." Jaune answers. "But we only have weeks left, before we head back to Beacon. And I am eager to spend the last of it with my own family."
"And mine as well." Pyrrha said, smiling.
"And I am eager to go back to Beacon." Weiss said. "The open fields may be fun, but actually training grounds are something that I'm used to. Speaking of which..." She turns to Ruby and Yang. "We will be training...EXTRA hard, once you two get back!"
"What Weiss means to say is, you two have been training good." Blake said. "But we need to get even better."
"Oh we'll get better, alright." Yang said. "Ruby and I actually have a bit of a rematch, that we need to settle."
"Right. Forgot at that." Ruby said. "So. You guys be safe on your way back."
"We will." Pyrrha said. "But before we do, I need to speak to Yang for a minute. Shall we?"
Yang looks a bit confused. "Um...okay? Sure."
Yang raises her arms to her team, before walking to Pyrrha to the side of the house.
"Okay." Yang said, crossing her arms. "What is it?"
Pyrrha sighs, before she talks. "Yang. I am aware of your liking to Blake. And the fact that you're sad to see her with Sun."
"Was it that obvious?"
"To everyone else, yes. But Yang. I've been giving Jaune all the right signs, since we've met. But he is still completely clueless to this day. And I could tell that was happening to you, too."
"Ugh. Don't remind me. Blake and I already agreed to be friends still. Why are you telling me this."
"Because Yang." Pyrrha said, before moving to see if they're still alone. They are. "After we settle back in Beacon...I, Pyrrha Nikos, will be helping you find someone who will like you."
Yang is surprised. "You're joking."
"Absolutely not." Pyrrha said. "I am aware that Jaune has taken a linking to Ruby. It is only inevitable before he chooses to be with her. And yes, I'll be sad. But that's not what you'll be feeling, when we get back. And trust me, you'll start to feel sad eventually."
"You...want to help me...find a girlfriend?" Yang asked.
"Or boyfriend. But yes."
"Thanks, Pyrrha. But no thanks. I think I'm capable of finding someone, on my own."
Pyrrha pinches the bridge of her nose and sighs.
"Okay, then. But if you still want my help, you'll know where to find me, once the semester starts again. Until then...see you later."
Pyrrha nods before she walks away, leaving Yang to watch Ruby give a tight hug to Jaune, who is struggling to breathe. Everyone starts to lightly laugh at this. But Yang seems to be the only one to see Ruby put her lips on Jaune's cheek very quickly, before letting him breathe. Yang rests her hand on the wall and lightly smiles.
VALE
Mercury and Emerald are sitting in a train, hoods over their head and waiting.
"Only an hour and we'll reach the Kingdom." Emerald said. "After that, we find a place to sleep. And tomorrow...we speak to the informant."
"Better hope she is able to give us something." Mercury said, before yawning. "Wake me, when we get there."
Emerald groans in annoyance, as she stands up and watches Mercury goes to sleep. Nodding, she walks down the car and going into another. She continues to walk until she finds an empty seat and looks at the person across from her.
Qrow quickly takes out his flask and drinks from it. Emerald reaches into her pocket and takes out a small device. Qrow takes it.
"Alright kid." He said. "Tell me everything that you know."
END OF CHAPTER 10
Alright guys. Another chapter is done. And the next one will most definitely be back in Beacon. And I decided that the flashback battle in Patch will be in somewhere in the next couple chapters. Yang will talk to someone, a therapist of something.
But until then, please be patient as always. I don't want to rush on making the newest chapter.
Next chapter coming soon. Bye!
