RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth

Half an hour later, they were done infusing their ammunition and were loading their weapons and magazines. Yang finished reloading Ember Celica and was now putting shotgun shells in the magazine embedded in her right arm.

"That is still so cool" Ruby said watching her sister.

Blake was finishing loading a magazine full of ice bullets as she said "it must be convenient to always have a weapon and never having to carry it."

"Ember Celica was always with me anyway" Yang said.

"But you have a fist that never feels pain" Ruby said "and always have a gun, no matter what."

"Well" Yang said "it is nice, but I went through a lot to get it."

Suddenly, the front door burst open and Jaune stumbled in, followed by Ren.

Jaune scrambled to his feet and said "We were…ambush…Nora…gone…help…we have…note…and-"

"Hey, calm down" Ruby said "calm down and catch your breath. What about Nora?"

Jaune was still panicking.

"Nora was captured" Ren said with tears in his eyes "we were patrolling downtown when we were ambushed. They used some kind of gas. There was a strange smell and we were unconscious in seconds."

"When we woke up Nora was gone" Jaune said "and they left this note."

He handed Ruby the note, she took it and read it out loud.

"Team RWBY, I have your friend. Meet me at this address at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Come alone or the red head dies. Bring your weapons and prepare for a fight."

Weiss took the letter from Ruby to look at it, her eyes widened at a small symbol on the paper.

"Blake" she said holding the paper out "is that what I think it is?"

Blake looked at the paper and her ears drooped slightly.

"That's the old White Fang symbol" she said.

Yang immediately looked at Blake and said "Blake, promise me that you won't try to go after the White Fang alone."

Blake sighed and said "Yang, I know th-"

"No" Yang interrupted "I don't care how well you know the White Fang. Don't go alone! I know you're worried about us, but we're here for you. You don't have to go alone."

"They're after me Yang" Blake said "I don't want you three getting hurt because of-"

Yang grabbed the collar of Blake's jacket and pulled her into a kiss.

She finally pulled back and said "Blake listen, me, Weiss, Ruby, we are all willing to lay down our lives to protect you from the White Fang and keep you safe. We always have been."

Weiss and Ruby nodded.

"You almost did" Blake said taking Yang's robotic hand in her own "I can't lose you Yang, especially knowing it would be my fault."

"I already lost you once" Yang said "I'm not losing you again. Promise me you won't try to go alone."

Blake shook her head and started to say something.

Yang grabbed her shoulders and said "promise me!"

Blake saw a tear in Yang's eye.

"Ok" she said "I promise."

Yang nodded and gave her a quick kiss. Ruby looked at the clock and saw it was 5 PM.

"Ok" Ruby said "dinner and bed. We need to be well rested, alert and ready for whatever we face tomorrow."

"Right" Blake said.

Yang took out her scroll.

"What are you doing?" Weiss asked.

"Looking up that address" Yang said.

She tapped the screen a few times then said "it's a warehouse across town, near the docks."

"Ok" Ruby said "so it will be about a thirty minute walk."

"Or a lot less with your semblance and Bumblebee" Blake said.

"Is that ok with everyone?" Ruby asked.

"Good with me" Yang said.

"Sounds like a plan" Weiss said.

"Tomorrow?" Jaune asked "we need to go now!"

"Jaune" Ruby said gently "they have Nora, so we have to play by their rules. We have to wait until tomorrow and you and Ren can't come. I'm sorry, but that's how it has to be."

Jaune shook his head and said "but Nora is our teamma-"

"We understand" Ren said as he put his hand on Jaune's shoulder "when Nora is in danger, we have to obey their terms."

Yang set her scroll on the coffee table and said "let's get dinner started."

Yang and Weiss made steaks while Ruby made a salad and Blake made baked potatoes. This time, there were no corny jokes while they were cooking. No laughter or stories, just a tense, worried silence.

"Jaune, Ren! Dinner!" Weiss called.

After an almost silent dinner, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang went to bed. Jaune and Ren volunteered to stay awake incase there was another call. An hour or so later, Blake was laying in bed trying to get to sleep. She was staring at the ceiling trying to get her mind off of the White Fang and the upcoming fight so she could sleep. Her door opened slightly and a blonde head poked into her room. Blake sat up slightly and looked at Yang.

"You can't sleep either?" Yang whispered.

Blake shook her head with a quiet sigh. Yang pushed the door open and stepped into her room. Blake's heart skipped a beat when she saw Yang was only wearing a short orange tank top and black panties. Yang gently closed the door, walked over to the bed and slid under the covers. She put her arms around Blake and gently pulled her close. Yang put her metal arm around Blake's lower back and the other behind her shoulders. Blake snuggled into Yang's warmth and quietly sighed with content. Yang began slowly running her fingernails up and down Blake's spine. Blake snuggled closer and began purring quietly. Yang giggled slightly and pulled Blake closer with her robotic arm. Blake found a sense of security in her arms. Yang's strong arms around her seemed to chase her worries away and bring a sense of comfort. Yang put her chin on top of Blake's head and closed her eyes.

"Night, Kitty Cat" Yang whispered.

"Goodnight Sunshine" Blake replied as sleep finally took her.

The next morning, Blake woke up at sunrise. She was still entwined in Yang's arms. She listened to Yang's quiet breathing and tried to get back to sleep, but she was awake. She tried to get out of Yang's arms without waking her.

A quiet groan escaped Yang's lips followed by a tired voice saying "what's wrong Blake?"

"I can't get back to sleep" Blake said "I'm going to go get dressed and get the coffee started. I'll wait for you downstairs."

"You'll keep your promise, right?" Yang asked "you'll wait for us and not go alone?"

"I'm not leaving" Blake said "I just want to get the day started."

She gave Yang a quick kiss.

"Ok" Yang said with a yawn.

She let go of Blake and snuggled back into the covers. Blake grabbed her clothes and walked out of the room, deciding to get dressed in the bathroom so Yang could sleep. She put on her black pants and thigh high boots, followed by a bra and her crisscross black top. She quietly made her way downstairs with her jacket over her arm. She laid her jacket over one of the kitchen chairs and started a pot of coffee. Once it was ready, she poured herself a cup and sat down at the table to wait. After twenty minutes, she couldn't sit still anymore.

She took out her scroll and messaged Yang, saying 'going to wait outside, Sunshine. I'll meet you at Bumblebee.'

She put her scroll in her pocket and pulled her white trench coat on and headed for the front door. She was about to open the door, but stopped when a thought entered her head. She stood with her hand on the doorknob and leaned her forehead against the door.

"Maybe I should go back inside and wait on the couch or at the table" she thought "just so everybody knows I'm still here instead of just Yang. Incase Weiss or Ruby come downstairs first."

She was about to let go and go back into the house and sit on the couch, maybe try to read. Suddenly a coffee mug shattered against the wall a few feet away from her. The force of the throw left a few shards of glass embedded in the wall. She let go of the doorknob as she spun around and gasped. Yang was standing in the doorway to the kitchen, still in her pajamas. Her fists were clenched at her sides and her eyes were red.

"This is waiting?! What the hell are you doing?!" Yang yelled "trying to go alone?! After you PROMISED me you wouldn't?!"

"Yang" she said slightly shocked "I told yo-"

"Save it!" Yang snapped "I'm going to get dressed. You better be right there when I get back!"

She spun on her heels and walked back towards the stairs. Blake felt anger build up at Yang's outburst.

"I wasn't leaving" Blake said "I told you where I was going!"

Yang couldn't hear her, she was already upstairs. Blake heard a door slam. She was about to yell back at Yang, but stopped herself when she saw something in her peripheral vision. She ran into the living room and found Yang's scroll still on the coffee table.

She picked it up and saw a notification that said '1 unread message from: Kitty Cat'.

Now, Yang's anger made sense and Blake found it justifiable.

"I have to explain" Blake thought "but, mad Yang isn't the best listener."

She headed towards the stairs to go explain everything to Yang. She stopped when she saw a still smoking handprint burned into the railing.

"I'll wait until she comes back down" Blake said to herself "maybe she will have cooled off a little."

A red blur flew down the stairs and Ruby skidded to a stop in front of Blake.

"What happened?" she asked "I heard glass break and Yang yelling."

"I told Yang I was coming down here to wait and make coffee. Then I decided to wait outside by Bumblebee, so I sent Yang a text and headed outside."

"So?" Ruby said "that doesn't explain anything."

"Well, I was standing by the door trying to decide whether to go outside and wait or come back in. I had my hand on the knob when Yang came downstairs." She held up Yang's scroll and said "this was still on the coffee table from last night. Yang never got my message, she thought I was leaving without you guys and going alone."

The color drained from Ruby's face as she said "oh, oh that's not good."
