A/N: Okay, Black Widows is right now a one-shot, BUT if y'all wanna see more Falling Petals love, drop a review and I'll try my best!

Ruby Rose glanced out the window. A woman was racing across the courtyard. She was vaguely familiar, and on impulse Ruby raced outside. Glancing around, Ruby pulled out her scroll and tapped it a few times. A locker landed in the courtyard a moment later, flipped open, and revealed her sweetheart Crescent Rose.
Ecstatic, Ruby grinned as she grabbed her weapon and raced after the figure. The CT Tower!
It was a minute or more after the figure got there that Ruby raced through the tower, went up the elevator, and walked cautiously into the room. Between her shoulder blades, where the soulmark that Ruby possessed lay, there was a warm sensation, and Ruby's heart fluttered. Could she be about to meet her soulmate?
Everyone had a soulmate. Everyone had a soulmark, always between their shoulder blades. It was a fashion trend for anyone over the age of twelve to wear clothes designed to reveal your soulmark. When you met your soulmate, the mark turned the color of your soulmate's aura. It was just an outline until then. A warm glow was a sign you were about to have your first meeting with your soulmate. But you had to be close. After the mark filled in, you were drawn to your soulmate, whom it was impossible for you to have negative feelings for. The part of you that loved and felt was 'blended' with your soulmate's so that the end result was a couple who felt mostly the same thing in regards to the world.
"Hello?" Ruby asked, scanning the room. A woman not much older than Ruby, probably about the age of a first or second Academy year, with black hair, amber eyes, and a black outfit with a long sleeved black shirt and long pants covered her, and she wore archer's gloves. She also were a mask.
Their eyes met, and Ruby felt a bolt of emotion and light as her soulmark under her dress acknowledged the presence of Ruby's soulmate.
The woman's molten amber eyes like two crystallized pieces of honey stared back at her, and the gleam told Ruby that this woman was her soulmate.
The woman's lips breathed, "What is your name?"
Ruby melted at the sound of her voice. "Ruby Rose. And you?"
"Cinder Fall," was all Ruby heard before arms were thrown and lips locked. But then, Cinder didn't need any more words.
–
Ruby giggled as she and Cinder sat on the edge of Beacon Cliffs. Being soulmates, they had decided to take some time to get to know each other. After all, couldn't hurt.
Cinder had thrown one arm around Ruby, and was singing a soft song.
"We can escape, we can evolve!
Achieving anything as long as our heart's resolved!
Because there's a time when we'll stand outnumbered!
Where the wolves and the soulless will rise!
In the time of our final moment, every dream dies!
When we stand with friends, and we won't retreat!
When we stare down death, then the taste is sweet!
There's a moment that changes a life when,
We do something that no-one else can.
And our faith and courage will lead us
One final stand..."
Ruby felt the song creep into her soul and touch the bond she now shared with Cinder, tentatively, carefully. Words came to her.
"There's a light that shines, and it's power is mine!
Though our body's weak and breakable,
Our spirit is indomitable!
The battle seems unwinnable,
But all we need's a miracle...
When we lose our faith, and forsake our friends!
When we succumb to fear, and we've reach our end!
Just remember, my world transcends, my sorrow ends!
Because there's a light that shines, and it's power is mine!
Though our body's weak and breakable,
Our spirit is indomitable!
Though this battle seems unwinnable,
All you need's my miracle..."
Excited, Cinder turned slightly toward her more and grabbed Ruby's hands. Ruby gave her complete attention to Cinder, and listened to the idea.
"Let's run into Emerald Forest!" Cinder cried, and Ruby liked the idea. She nodded.

A/N: So, how do you like it so far? Any RWBY fans should instantly recognize parts of the song that Ruby and Cinder sing. I took inspiration and lines from a few songs, Indomitable, Triumph, and I May Fall.
So, drop a review if you would like to see more. If I get at least half the reviewers wanting to continue, I will!
Oh, and for those of you who are wondering, the title comes from Ruby and Cinder's personalities and capabilities. They are deadly. Ruby's color is red. Cinder's personality is dark, thus black. Black Widows are deadly black-and-red spiders.
Lastly, fair warning, every chapter will be short and containing at least some song from RWBY. If you don't like that, don't say I didn't warn you.
