Chapter 2: Adaption of Simulation
Part 2: Ruby Vs. Weiss
Flurry of roses zoomed past the girl in white, complimenting colors of red and white of the two opponents that evaded each other's justifiable strikes in divergence. Weiss took the initiative. Setting an air glyph upon herself, she chased Ruby equal to her speed in lines of lightning, and once she had her close, her rapier locked in contact with the scythe. Taking no glance to perceive the silver eyes girl, she withdrew to come back slicing endless combos with her Myrtenaster, giving Ruby no chance but to continue taking her defensive position.
Block, retaliate, retreat and forward, but try not to hit her was Ruby's strategic plan. In a spinning revolution, her scythe gave a whirlwind of razor-sharp blows at the rapier wielder, so far getting parried without having a scratch for her Aura to heal. Adding adrenaline to the battle, she cocked, shoot and repeat at each turn she faces, flashes setting off from the muzzle with the bullets whizzing out at each bang.
Weiss found herself stumbling away from the shots before she took it into account. Using her right hand to mark a symbol in the air, a snowflake glyph appeared before her, sending the bullets ricocheting at the spell bound shield. She twirled and swung her rapier upwards, starry shots honing from the glyph towards Ruby.
Ruby flinched at this. She hastily used her semblance to dodge the missile like spells, her wrong timing only dissipating two to the ground in blinding flurries as more of them followed her. Running across a few yards to give her semblance another chance, she gets to destroy the remaining ice spells.
A little bit proud to have avoided them, Ruby raised her scythe in one victorious moment, only to be challenged again when Weiss sent another round. Her eye twitched as she sank her weapon back. Instead of running away, she dared to approach them. Pulling her Crescent Rose back, she fired and let the recoil from her unmarked magazine push her forward and break a race towards the stars. Rippling a furry of her scythe twirling around her hands and body, the stars vanished, sliced, bounced off and dispersed in luminous white light that could have distracted Ruby's focus and let loose of her rhythm. She furthered herself as far as to close the distance between her and Weiss. Purposely slowing down and bringing her scythe in, she let Weiss slip away and stab the ground without much to worry. Surprisingly enough, Weiss set up another glyph in the air. Landing her feet against it, an invisible push sent her lunging towards Ruby.
A kind of slicing sound filled their ears, thus the green light scoring to Weiss's side.
Ruby pursed her lips and squint her eyes. Letting her breathe go she didn't know she was holding onto, it was instead an 'Ah' sound of taking in the feeling of sharp stinging beneath her skin. Ruby shuddered like she just tasted something really spicy; hence, the aura tweaked thrust of her Rapier coming into effect.
When the little pain died down, she turned around with ease, only to see Weiss right in front of her with a piercing glare despite her eyes viewed as bored. "Don't tell me you're the one who's taking it easy on me." She started.
"What? Me? Noooo." Ruby replied with a pretend grin. She prayed that Weiss wouldn't be able to see right through her, the glare was already enough to tear through her innocent features. "You're too great for me to take it easy on you, psshh, I-I mean, come on. Me? Nooo. Weiss, you're talented."
Ruby was finding herself awkward yet again. Wasn't she ever good at convincing someone such as Weiss?
Yang's voice chimed in that contributed a little something to saving Ruby's cover, "Aww don't worry sis. You'll get her." Blake's shush was heard afterwards.
Round two was about to start and Weiss decided to let this go for a moment. When she turned to go back to her position, Ruby sighed in relief and returned the grip to her Crescent Rose.
The second round went on long with Ruby being more offensive, careful not to let anything fishy slip or come out as obvious to Weiss.
When Ruby had managed to push Weiss back, she aimed the muzzle at her, ready to fire the trigger and miss if she wishes.
Her finger lay still. Weiss was only standing there.
Come on, Weiss, you gotta move. Ruby thought, her body was tensing and her finger lay hovering on the trigger. Her aim is true and aims can see what others can't, and seeing Weiss who waited patiently for her fire was rather intimidating beyond comparison. Ruby huffed. If she misses a fire, maybe Weiss would budge. Putting action on her said plan, she fired multiple rounds and purposely missed, but the Heiress did not flinch the slightest bit.
Ruby gulped. That definitely destroyed her plans of hiding her intentions. A familiar sense and view below her caught the red haired girl's attention, and when she looked.
Oh snap.
The glyph threw Ruby backwards until she slammed onto a cargo.
When Weiss lunge in her rapier, Ruby moved her scythe, making Myrtenaster slide to miss an inch of stabbing her and instead slip through the realistic metal. Ruby felt herself pushed against the cargo, Crescent Rose fairly separating their bodies from being flushed together. Her cheeks were starting to generate heat in a blush.
"What is wrong with you today?" Weiss asked with concern in her voice, "Are you sick?"
Ruby was hesitant and only laughed to shrug it off, "Nope. I'm absolutely fine."
"You're stuttering." Weiss said. Which was actually true much to Ruby's dismay.
"W-What? No I'm not. I uh. We're just." Ruby was lost in words; the fact that Weiss was just close was making her a blubber fish, much more into effect as she glanced at the space between them.
"You never miss a shot, Ruby." Weiss returned.
This felt like another end of a plan that could have been glorious for all she knows. Grades did not entirely matter for herself as a whole other than getting the basic knowledge of what is needed to be learned. Of course, wanting to be a normal girl with normal knees, Weiss Schnee wasn't any other girl to her. She is, in fact, the greatest teammate than any other to Ruby's eyes. Her skills are good; there is never a single doubt about that.
Ruby sighed, "Let's finish the match?" She asked with a smile of accepting defeat which Weiss still did not acknowledge of.
Weiss raised an eyebrow as she pulled her Myrtenaster from the cargo, finally going one step away on which Ruby found herself breathing properly again.
Ruby gave a little hop from her position and rolled her shoulders, feet jogging afterwards like it was a time for warm up, "Okay! I'm ready." She confidently said, "let's do this!"
Weiss glanced at her silly opponent before sighing, putting her rapier away and leaving a questioning Ruby at her wake. "I'm calling the match off."
"What? Why? We didn't even finish."
"Winning against an opponent because of their weak condition doesn't suit me."
"But," Ruby began to pout; she slugged her shoulders and let Crescent Rose lazily hang on her hands, "I'm not weak."
A beep sounded through the room, orange tint of lights signaling a draw.
"Fight me next time when you're actually fit to fight me, Ruby."
Ruby continued to pout at Weiss before looking at the black tinted window, showing her face and somehow burn a hole to wherever Yang was and hoped that she saw it, because she knows that a draw is held whenever a spectator acknowledges the time of the orange light.
When Weiss came to where their other teammates were, Ruby on the other hand walked gloomily behind her. What ever went wrong? She wonders wistfully. So close.
"Sooo. Next opponent? Anyone?" Yang asked, her smirk still present. To Weiss and Blake, it was the normal habit of a cheery smile, but to Ruby at this moment, it seemed as though it was a taunt, her pouting face still present. Blake slightly raised a hand for an option to choose, "Weiss?"
The Heiress nodded. She did not fight much today and going against Blake can at least fill that need of what's needed to be done.
When they both left off to their match, Yang and Ruby was left behind to spectate, or perhaps talk it out.
Sitting down on one of the chairs, they both glanced at the LCD screen that had a surveillance camera to view the fight easier. Weiss and Blake started with both of them going in for the clash.
"At least you tried." Said Yang.
Ruby glanced annoyingly at her sister, "The match could have continued if you hadn't set off the draw."
Yang chuckled, "Well, you were looking a little bit sick back there."
Ruby folded her arms, "I was not sick."
"Oh? Then what's with the slow mo?"
If anyone were to know Ruby as much as anyone, it would be Yang. Through the past years of growing up as a big sister to Ruby, she knows very well that the youngster can outmatch any Grimm or Hunter if it were a race to behold against speed. She could outrun any of them.
"And she's right, you never miss a shot." Yang was now smirking even wider, amused at the pieces that was starting to come together, "Why'd you think she was so confident just standing there while you miss like a blind puppy?"
Ruby was shrinking on her seat. The thoughts of all the valid reasons she could reply were too embarrassing, it was hard to paraphrase into something more appropriate to respond with.
"Um. I didn't focus that's all."
"Hmm. Pitiful? Scared? Distracted?" Yang said, "Generously loving~?"
Ruby shook her hands and head at the blonde, disagreeing will all she implied. "No!"
"What about-"
"Yaaannnggg." Ruby groaned, a blush started to creep on the side of her cheeks, she can hope that the assumptions that her sister was giving were kept to a minimum, if anything reach beyond intimate, she be damned. Yang began to laugh and reach out a hand to rub the girl with the red cloak on the head playfully.
"I'm just kidding!" She chortled gleefully. "I find it really funny that you get so worked up every time I come up with talking between you and Weiss."
Ruby swatted her hand away, "I don't."
Yang chuckled some more before setting back on her seat and watching the screen, Blake and Weiss were doing great, none of them were holding back.
Ruby was actually easy to read to Yang's observation. Though it may not be confirmed, those little hints just made it more amusing, all the while to tease her little sis.
A/N: This is rather short, but again, it was just a part. This one took long to write and I find myself clueless onto why it did take long. I tried improving my style of writing to let it be more exciting to read and I swear, it wasn't easy. And I am sorry by the way when I said it would come out shortly, been busy as the usual. Date of publish always scheduled in friday or saturday
I like it when Yang teases Ruby. Siblings be siblings.
Weiss is still oblivious to Ruby who is trying to be, um, nice, cool.. Loving.. Towards her. We all know that feel when we want someone who is special to us get the best, even if it meant a little bit of a harmless sacrifice.
Adaption of Simulation were just two parts I wanted to write for fighting scenes, in the future I plan to draw them really. The next chapter will now continue where Dramatic scenes are to be seen and continued until the present.
So I only got 14 Faves and 22 Follows. Haha, didn't exactly reach the requirement, but it won't stop me for writing fluff. It was, after all, an experiment for the sake of fun since I was so bored that I just wanted to get out there for a trade and change.
I've got plans for writing a WhiteRose and Bumblebee centered story from a particular book, another AU for all I know, but for now. Allow me to go through this Fanfic for this Fanfic was planned for a long time. I got no writing skills and shit, but I still hope that I can write clearly for you to at least enjoy the story.
(Edit- So the new episode came out. And I am happy to know that there is finally a new Grimm.)
One more thing. It is rated M for a reason mate, I may not have a lot of swears than expected, but be sure to expect it. Violent themes, language and probably sexual content…
