A few hours later
When the wolf faunus woke up she saw Weiss and her parents were sitting around her. Ruby was a bit saddened due to the fact that she had passed out in front Weiss. The faunus thought she was weak for not being able to win a single fight against her opponent. Even when the opponent was holding back against her. Ruby just sat there angry waiting for everyone to leave.
When it was just the wolf and her mentoar asked, "Glynd, can you take me on a trip around the world?" Gynda looked at Ruby like she was insane. "What are you asking, I don't understand?" The young heiress said, "My parents are coddling me, preventing me from reaching my full potential. I need to get better, and I won't do that by staying here, I need to get better." Glynda looked away for a second before grumbling, "I warned them that this would happen." Looking back at the red head, the blond haired woman sees a burning will that won't back down. Glynda sighs and says, "Alright, but just so you know I won't let you quit when things get hard. This is your last chance to back down." Ruby didn't even hesitate to answer. "I will not back down." Glynda nodded and got up to set everything up, before she left the room Ruby says, "Can you get Weiss to come back please?" Glynda nodded leaving the room to set everything up.
A few minutes later a platinum haired girl walked into the room. The Schnee heiress entered the room she was surprised that Ruby was still in bed. "Why are you still resting, shouldn't you be out of bed training? If you don't then you won't become stronger." The faunus sighed and said, "My parents won't let me train for the rest of the day." Weiss looked at the wolf faunus as if she grew a second head. "What, Are they crazy, if you don't train then you won't active your dream." Before the platinum haired heiress could continue, Ruby held up a hand the quickly silenced her.
When the wolf faunus was sure Weiss was ready to listen, she explained her plan. The heiress was sad but understood that this had to be done. If Ruby wanted to become a huntress she can't do that cooped up in her parent's arms. She had to go out and train, she needed to do this. A short time later Weiss had to leave, making a promise to see the faunus off.
One month later
Ruby was boarding the plane, when a white haired girl grabbed the wolf faunus by the arm. "Ruby, why are you leaving?" Ruby sighed, "Weiss I told you, I want to be worthy to fight beside you and protect you. If you can beat me without trying, then what good am I?"
Weiss said, "An adorable little faunus." The wolf faunus growled out of annoyance. "I just want to be worthy to fight by your side as an equal." Ruby turned and walked towards her parents. Weiss grabbed the red head by the arm and after turning her around, kissed the faunus on the lips. When Weiss pulled back she turned around and said, "I love you." Weiss turned around and walked off out of the red heads sight.
Fenrir runs up to Ruby, "Little wolf, please don't go." Holding the small wolf faunus close to his heart. Freya was the next to speak, "You don't have to go, we can order the best teachers for you, please don't go." Tears streaming down her face. Ruby frees herself from her father before saying, "Mom, dad I need to do this. I need to learn proper fighting styles. I can't do that with the two of you coddling me all the time." Fenrir looked at Freya in hopes that Ruby was wrong. Freya nodded, the black haired man knew what that meant, that they were coddling their daughter. Fenrir sighs, "Alright, when you come back I want to see your progress. Deal?" Extending his hand towards his daughter, Ruby shaking the hand in return, "Deal." The black haired man then said, "When you get back you are going to fight me to prove that you have truly grown." Ruby nodded then a flash of Weiss entered her mind.
Ruby got onto the plane, Glynda says, "You ready?" Ruby did not respond as the plane took off. Ruby spent the entire flight thinking of what Weiss said wondering if she felt the same.
10 Years later
Ruby was getting off a plane, she looked around and saw for the first time in years saw Weiss. With her perfect sapphire eyes, with her flawless skin as well as her platinum hair. The white haired heiress walked up to the faunus, before she knew what was happening Ruby pulled her into a kiss. Weiss quickly responded by kissing the faunus back. For a moment it felt like time stood still for them just to savior the moment
When the two parted Ruby said, "Do you remember what you told me before I left?" Weiss blushed, "I'll take that as a yes. Well, I love you too." The faunus said, weiss blushed so much her face was red Ruby only hugged her tighter. Weiss turned around and said, "W-well, that is good to hear, we can ketch up later. I am going to be busy today." Ruby quirked her head with one ear bending down. "Why?" Weiss said, "I am going to take my final test. To go to the school of my choosing, I must uphold the family tradition, I must defeat an Arma Gigas." All of the blood in Ruby's body instantly froze, "Come again I think I miss heard you, please repeat that."
Weiss said, "You didn't miss hear me I am going to fight an Arma Gigas. It is a rite of passage for all the Schnees, in order for me to be seen as a worthy heir I must take this test." Ruby says "You shouldn't fight something that dangerous it wi..." The white haired heiress held up her hand, silencing the wolf Faunus. "Ruby I know the danger, but this is a rite of passage and if I pass then I will be the true heir to the company. I will also go to beacon if I pass. I know you are going there, so I will join you."
The wolf faunus was confused, she never said she was going to Beacon. So she asked, "What makes you think I am going to Beacon? I never even mentioned going there." Weiss was confused that time. "You mean you weren't trying to impress Glynda so you can go to Beacon." Ruby thought about it but before saying anything a young voice shouts, "Big sis Weiss." When a small boy ran up to the heiress, hugging her leg. "Whitley, glad you see you." The platinum haired girl said as she picked up the small boy. The boy seemed to be 2 or 3 years old, his white hair and sapphire eyes let the wolf faunus know he was a Schnee. He looks a Ruby and asks "Why you have eaws on head?"
Weiss Glairs at the young boy, "Whitley that is not an appropriate question to ask." She then looked to Ruby only to see the wolf faunus giggling. "Why sweet young Whitley, I am a faunus, a human with animal appendages." The red head said. The heiress was stunned but then smiled. "Oh yeah daddy says it is time to go home." The young boy says. Weiss nodes, "Okay tell dad I will be out in a little bit." The small boy runs off, "So Ruby, I want to say thanks for coming back." Before walking off.
When the wolf faunus turned around and was about to whistle she heard a man yell out, "Little wolf." Before she was wrapped up in a crushing bear hug by only one person she knew. "Dad, it is good to see you, but oxygen would be nice." Ruby wheezed out, looking down at his little wolf seeing he needed to release her. The faunus gasped and turned around only to be tackled to the ground. When she opened her eyes Ruby saw her mom. Seeing burning red haired woman was crying made the wolf feel joy that her mom missed her that much. "Little wolf, I was so worried. You left and now that you are back I want to hold you and never let you go." Ruby groaned but not out of frustration, it was out of a mixture of pain and the fact that she knew this would happen.
Freya put her hands on her daughter's shoulders and gave her a good look over. Ruby has grown taller her youthful face with her slightly puffy cheeks were now slimmed and her soft body with small muscles seemed more well defined. Her face still held the scar from the white fang member's attack. Her clothing also changed, where she use to where dressed, she now wore a slim silk ninja garment. The mother wondered if her daughter aura got stronger and reached out with her aura to feel her daughters. What she felt made her stumble backwards, her aura was so vast it felt like the aura was an entirely different beast. Then it started to decrease when Freya was confused, not just a second ago it felt so monstrous that it surpassed even the most strong huntsman would have been overwhelmed.
The confusion was clear on Freya's face. Ruby asked "Mom is there something wrong?" Not knowing her mom saw the aura the faunus was producing. "H-how do you have so much aura and are able to conceal it?" Ruby kept quiet before saying, "I got a pet." Then whistle, when a black wolf barreled and tackled the wolf faunus to the ground. Fenrir and Freya were confused at what is happening. Freya was still confused on how her daughter was able to produce such a potent aura and conceal it so easily. Whereas Fenrir was confused at what just happened, until a voice said, "Everyone I will explain everything later but first I think we should head home." Seeing how Ruby was still the little girl that had left on that plain 10 years ago. They headed home with a understanding that thing are about to get complicated.
At the Rosa manor
Ruby walked into a house she had not seen in ages it filled her with both a sense of nostalgia and joy ran through her entire being. The red head walks down the halls of her childhood home. Ruby quickly found her room a wave of memories flooded her mind. Ruby took a deep breath of her old room, lingering scents were scattered around her as the wolf entered. And started to unpack her new clothing when she heard a knock at the door. Ruby quickly looked and saw her mother, she was standing waiting for her daughter to invite Freya in. The dual colored haired woman walked in, she seemed on edge for some reason.
Ruby quickly stood up, "Mom, is there something wrong?" Ruby's mother looked at her with a smile, "Do you remember what your father and I said before you left?" Ruby looked off to the side thinking, "That when I get back I was to fight the both of you." Still not understanding why her mother was acting so tense. The faunus stood still, waiting for her mother to continue. "W-well, I won't be able to fight this time, and furthermore…" The flaming colored haired woman looked away seeming scared to tell her daughter. "Mother, are you dying?" The faunus ears folded back as her silver eyes filled up with tears. Freya waves her hands in the air. "No, I'm not dying, it's more like I am going to give life." Ruby was now confused, thinking about it only made her head hurt. The business woman sighed, "Ruby, you are getting a brother or sister in 9 months." The wolf thought for a sec, before her face went from confused to surprise. Before running up to her mom, hugging her as the wolf felt an overwhelming sense of joy over take her body.
Then another knock came from the door. Both turned their heads to see Fenrir and the wolf were standing in the door way. Seeing her father Ruby said, "Yeah explanation's, I did say I would explain." Before clearing her throat, "Mom, Dad, this is my pet wolf Fenris." But before she continued both parents said in unison, "What? Why did you even bring it home, it's a wild animal?"
Ruby just lets out a nervous chuckle as she lets go of her mother. "He is actually more like a, umm how do I say this without you killing me. A…son." Ruby was blushing heavily as she looked away, scratching the back of her head. Fenris was feeling his mother figure getting tense and he started to growl. Ruby quickly calmed the wolf down by petting him to sleep. Fenrir was shocked seeing how Ruby was able to not only understand the wolf but also calm it down. The business man sighed, "Ruby, How?" The faunus sighed, "I don't know? I have always had a connection with wolves, but this wolf feels like a part of me for some reason." With so much going on at once Fenrir and Freya decide to just let this topic rest. "Ruby, you've just got home, and all this is a little overwhelming. Let's rest for today and we'll start anew tomorrow." Ruby nodded as her parents left, Ruby stood up and headed to the training room, with her parents heading off to do business.
AN: Sorry for not posting earlier, this quarantine has thrown me off my game. regardless, no one wanted to see my alternative seen so I decided not to post it. With this late chapter, i decided to make it longer than previous chapters as an apology. the prologue is almost done and the real story will begin, but just so we are clear, Ruby is going to be wearing a mask biased of off her hero, Reaper, and she knows of her biased off of her journal Ruby found while she was traveling. Yang wont realize her sister until Summer tells Ruby that she is her mother. No it is not a star wars reference. Freya is going to give Ruby her cloak, meaning, Freya used to wear a cloak but now does not, because she herself was inspired by Reaper. well that is enough rambling. I hope Destiny is on your side, long live Ragnarok!
