Here it is, the final part before it all kicks off. Enjoy.
It was the morning of the girls' third day in prison. Before Ruby, Weiss and Blake had their showers and breakfast. Officer Nikos arrived with Yang in tow. "Good morning." the Officer greeted. "I'm returning Yang to you."
The three girls in the cell each reacted to Yang's return in different ways. Ruby was happy to have her sister back "Morning Officer Nikos, it's great to have you back Yang." She said with all the excitement a cynic like her could muster.
Yang winked at her sister "It's great to be back sis."
Weiss was concerned about having Yang back. But overall, she was pleased. "Good Morning Officer Nikos. Welcome back, Yang." She said politely.
Yang winked and flirted with her "Thanks babe."
Blake felt a mix of emotions. After the Ilia incident. Seeing Yang again made her worried, scared, angry, and happy. She was worried that Yang would hate her, scared of what Yang might do to her, angry at herself and Yang for what happened, and happy to have her new friend back. She simply nodded and said "Yang."
Yang nodded back "Blake."
Yang was pleased to see her cellmates. But she was still worried that Blake would hate her. As she had admitted to Pyrrha, Blake was one of her few weaknesses.
"Well, it's shower time so I'll be leaving her with you." Officer Nikos said as the cell door slid open and she removed Yang's restraints. "Please don't cause so much trouble this time." She added. Doing a good job of hiding their deal. She wanted Yang to cause a lot of trouble.
Yang winked at her. "Wouldn't dream of it," she said before the officer took her leave. Her cellmates joined her outside and they all headed to the showers with the rest of the inmates.
The girls didn't say much during their showers, though they did keep an eye out for any signs of trouble.
Ruby had quickly gotten over her shyness, she just got on with cleaning herself. Giving a good view of what she had to anyone who wanted a look. That was greatly appreciated by a number of inmates, mainly the predatory ones who would have made a move if it weren't for the hulking blonde and two other girls protecting her. Other people seeing her body may have been a new concept to Ruby. But she certainly had no issues with her own appearance. Out of the four cellmates she was second only to Yang in terms of chest department and her combat training had given her a well-toned athletic body. She wouldn't admit it but the lustful glares were actually making her feel good.
Weiss was as self-conscious as ever. She did her best to hide her more intimate areas from the other inmates, but her fingers lingered in a certain area longer than necessary. Her discussion with Ruby about passing time had put thoughts in her head. Thoughts that she had spent her whole life suppressing. She wasn't ready to try anything yet, especially not in such a public setting. But she was starting to get urges, urges that weren't helped by her surroundings. Occasional glances over to Ruby made her bite her lip and quickly look away. That girl made her feel things she'd never felt before, feelings she didn't understand.
Blake still wasn't bothered by the communal showering. She had nothing that the other inmates hadn't seen before. So she just focused on the task at hand, not daring to look at Yang. Ilia was the one person she truly wanted to be with and Blake knew that looking at Yang would be risky. The animalistic lust could take over and she wouldn't be able to hold back. Images started running through her head as she remembered showering with Ilia, she wanted that to happen again, maybe it would once Ilia returned. She had to snap out of her thoughts when she realized her hands were wandering.
Yang was thrilled. She got to be naked in front of all those people and even better. Everyone else was naked too, allowing her to browse what was on offer. Though many people were terrified of her, there were many who weren't. Clearly there were a lot of inmates who wanted her. As long as they would do what she wanted, she would have no problem. She shot winks at her admirers many of whom were giving her a show. Yang hoped that none of them would have to die as part of her deal with Pyrrha, that would be like removing some of the dishes from a buffet. When she thought about the deal, her inner deviant went to work picturing all the things she would do to Pyrrha. Yang liked what she had seen of the officer and wouldn't mind seeing a lot more of her. Maybe that could be arranged since her fiancee was in a coma.
Nobody dared to attempt an attack on the girls. In large part thanks to what they had seen Yang do to Ilia. So after an uneventful trip to the showers, the four girls headed for breakfast. They were greeted with the usual hateful looks as they waited for their food. Though Vernal looked confused rather than hateful. The fact Yang hadn't killed Blake, must have been shocking to her.
Penny, Ciel and Velvet were clearly scared of Yang when she sat down at their table. They had all seen what she could do and were concerned that they would meet the same fate as Ilia, if not worse. Coco was only slightly wary of the blonde, she hadn't killed anyone yet and Weiss seemed fine with her. So, she didn't see much reason to fear her yet.
"Are you going to introduce me to your friends Weiss?" Yang asked. She remembered seeing Weiss talking to two of the girls at the table. Before things took a turn on the first day. Their names eluded her though she did remember Weiss telling her about them.
"Oh, of course," Weiss said as she pointed out each of them. "Yang meet Coco, Penny, Ciel and Velvet. Girls, this is Yang."
Coco nodded to Yang "Nice to meet you." she said. Yang winked back at her "Likewise hot stuff." she said flirtatiously. Coco chuckled "Sorry to disappoint, but I'm already taken." she replied as she wrapped her arm around Velvet. Yang feigned disappointment and sighed, before grinning widely and saying "No worries. If you and Velvet are ever up for it, I'm always ready for a three-way." That was too much for even Coco to handle. Her and Velvet were stunned into silence by Yang's boldness.
"Yang, please refrain from sleeping with my friends." Weiss pleaded. She knew there was little hope of keeping Yang under control, but she had to try. Yang turned to her with a smile "No need to get jealous Weiss. Just say the word and I'll go to town on that sweet ass of yours." Everyone at the table gasped and Weiss' could have sworn her heart stopped. To Weiss, it seemed that the Rose-Branwen sisters were trying to taint the last pure part of her soul. She tried and failed to hide her blush. "I'm not jealous Yang and I don't appreciate the lewd comments."
Yang shook her head "I'll break you eventually Schnee." she said before turning her attention to Penny and Ciel. "Chill out kids. I'm not going to hurt you unless you want to get kinky." That only seemed to worry the girls even more. "Oh come on. As I said to Weiss, Blake and Ruby, I'm not going to hurt you unless you give me a reason to. I've only fucked up once and unless you make it seem like you're trying to attack me or my girls. Then there won't be any repeats of last time." Yang did what she could to reassure them.
The girls found some comfort in Yang's words, but they still weren't comfortable with her presence. They didn't say anything to her but they both nodded. To show that they understood and to avoid annoying her by not responding. Blake, however, did say something. "You didn't fuck up, Yang, I did. I should have warned you not to attack Ilia." Yang turned to her. "I did fuck up though Blake. I shouldn't have needed a warning, I should have known you weren't in danger," she responded. Yang was amazed that Blake didn't blame her for what happened. But she couldn't have that. It was her mistake and she wouldn't let anyone else take the blame.
Blake was about to argue with Yang. She was stopped in her tracks by the approach of Yang's adopted sister. They locked eyes and Blake prepared herself for a fight. "Yang. A word." Vernal demanded.
Yang jumped to her feet and fronted up to the girl. "What do you want Vernal?" Yang asked. Vernal was taken aback by Yang's confrontational attitude "I want to know why you haven't killed that Belladonna whore?" she asked. Yang wasn't having that. She considered Vernal to be her sister, but calling Blake a whore and wanting her dead was too much. She grabbed Vernal by the throat "Stay the fuck away from Blake, don't even fucking look at her. Or, I'll tear you apart and eat your fucking corpse. You worthless little slut. I'm giving you one chance since it's you. But if I have to deal with you or any of your fucking dogs again. It's over for you." Yang threw Vernal to the floor and watched her scramble away.
The guards and the tribe members all stayed away. The guards saw that Yang was just threatening Vernal to protect Blake, so they didn't need to intervene. The Tribe members were too afraid to do anything to Yang, so they stayed away.
All eyes were on Yang as she casually returned to her seat. She was seething with rage and angry Yang was probably the most terrifying thing on Remnant. "Yang?" The sound of Blake's voice calmed her down. She turned to her friend "Yes Blake?" she asked. "Why did you do that?" Blake was genuinely shocked by Yang's actions. Though the blonde blamed herself for the Ilia incident, Blake was still sure that Yang hated her.
Yang smiled at her, the anger completely gone. "You're my friend Blake. Nobody, not even Vernal, gets to treat my friends that way," she explained. Blake couldn't hold back a gasp "You're friend?" she asked nervously. Yang nodded "Yeah. Unless you don't want to be friends because I hurt the woman you love. But then I'll still look out for you."
Blake smiled "I'm happy to be your friend Yang, and Ilia will recover. Don't beat yourself up over what happened. You did it to protect me and you felt bad about it. That's all I could ever ask of you. The fact you were willing to stand up against your own people to defend me, just makes me want to be your friend even more. Thank you Yang." she said. She intended to fix Yang and make her a decent person. That seemed like it would be much easier now, and she truly wanted to be Yang's friend.
Both girls went quiet as they shared a moment. In that moment, they weren't inmates or criminals or anything like that, Blake and Yang were just friends, and they were happy. The others at the table stared at them in amazement. Needless to say, that was not what any of them had been expecting.
The stunned silence was broken by Ruby "Well that was a thing. Anyway, how you doing Weiss?" Ruby had been thinking about Weiss a lot after the events of the previous day. She wanted to make sure her friend was doing okay. Hopefully having a friendly conversation would make it clear that they were just friends. After all, the attention Weiss gave her in the showers hadn't gone unnoticed. Neither did the sight of Weiss lightly touching herself after each look. She did like Weiss but they didn't know each other well enough and weren't ready to be anything more than friends.
"I'm fine Ruby. A little confused and uncertain but all in all, I'm fine. How are you?" Weiss asked. She felt good knowing that Ruby cared about her feelings, but she couldn't be too open with her. How do you explain to someone you've known for less than a week, that they seem to have unlocked your libido and you may have feelings for them? Weiss didn't know and didn't want to risk telling Ruby about those thoughts and feelings.
"I'm good. With friends like you and Blake, and having Yang back. I'm definitely good. Sorry if that's not a very good answer but I'm not used to having friends to talk to. Enough about me though. Do you have any plans now that you're living your own life?" Ruby asked. She tried to emphasize their friendship, hoping Weiss would take the hint.
"There was nothing wrong with your answer Ruby, don't worry about it." Weiss reassured before answering the question "Right now my priority is helping you. Granted there isn't much that I can actually do, but I'll support you and do whatever I can to help clear your name. You've already helped me so much and I need to repay the favour in some way." It wasn't just because Ruby helped her that Weiss wanted to do things for Ruby. Well to some extent it was, but only because that's what made her like Ruby so much. Weiss mainly wanted to help Ruby she felt the girl deserve it, she was a great friend and didn't deserve the fate that had befallen her.
"Thanks, Weiss, I appreciate it. You really are a great friend, I may not have much experience with friendship. But I know for a fact, that you're a great friend. You make this place bearable and I don't think I can thank you enough." Ruby responded. She really wasn't used to having friends, so she couldn't believe how lucky she had been to meet Weiss. It was just a shame that she had to go to prison to find her. She may have had to dash any hopes Weiss had of a relationship, but she still wanted Weiss to know how much she was appreciated.
"Same to you Ruby, same to you," Weiss said with a rare Schnee smile. Only a few days ago Weiss would never have dreamed of smiling with so many people around. Though that was the least surprising change she had made. The low point of her life turned into a high point, and it was mostly down to Ruby. She had strong feelings for the girl, if only she understood what that meant. What her feelings meant didn't matter in that moment, she would have plenty of time to work it out. As selfish as it was, she hoped that Ruby wouldn't get out before she could at least express her feelings.
With that, all four cellmates felt true happiness for the first time in a long time. Reality would hit them again soon, but now they were ready to face it. Whatever was to come, they would stand together.
There you go. Team RWBY is together and ready. Time will start jumping a bit from this point and everything I've set up is going to come into play. Prepare yourselves.
