Stolen Under the Storms

"Reeeen! Please!?" Nora begged as another clash of thunder roared outside. She was sitting in her bed, hands clasped together, lower lip quivering as she pleaded with her best friend. It was storming outside, a rather bad storm at that, and during this time they would always snuggle.

"Nora. I said 'no' and I mean it. We are not at home anymore and we have other room mates that we have to respect." Ren stated as he began to get under his own covers in his own bed.

"But Jaune and Pyrrha snuggle all the time! And we all know they get a little handsie now and then!" Pyrrha and Jaune both blushed deeply at this before they just sunk lower into their shared bed to hide. "I just want to snuggle! Come on!"

"Nora..." Ren sighed as he turned over in his bed to look at her. "You're a big girl now, you can sleep without a human body pillow."

Nora sighed and resigned defeat. "Alright..." She then began to ruffle through her bed like a burrowing fox before she smiled at everyone. "Goodnight!"

"Goodnight, Nora." Was their chuckling reply.

~ Some hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The storm hadn't died down at all, much to the dismay of Nora. She was hoping it would be gone by now, not that she was afraid of the thunder and lightening, it's just...tradition was just hard to break.

Blue eyes scanned the room, the faintest of outlines could be made due to the light show outside. Everyone was sleeping but her, even Ren seemed to be happily dreaming. Nora pouted, her lower lip sticking out a tad in her grief. She could always carry Ren and lay him beside her, or even move to his bed, but he'd wake up and tell her no again. She needed someone who liked to snuggle...hell, she just needed someone who wouldn't wake up if they were moved.

A thought struck her, much like the bursts of energy that traveled the skies. Quickly, and as silently as possible, she rolled out of her bed and tippy toed over to their door. She gave the room a once over before touching the handle and turning the knob.

Nora was praying that either Weiss or Yang were the last ones up tonight, for they had the habit of not locking their dorm door. She knew this because Ruby and Blake were always trying to remind them to do such, but was only meant with huffs from Yang or the snort of Weiss along with the lines 'a servant's job'.

Dramatically (in her mind, anyway) rolling up to the target door, she pressed her body firmly against the wall next to it before she giggled to herself. No wonder Blake and Ren liked this ninja stuff so much, it was fun! Shaking the thought away, she placed her hand on the handle and gave it a small jiggle, finding it unlocked. An evil smirked came over her features as she then slipped inside to gain what she was after...

~ Early morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...Nora..." Ren sighed as he looked down upon his childhood friend, who was still wrapped in her sheets and snuggling her latest victim. "...why...do you have Ruby in your bed?"

It was true, Nora had gone into their friends' room, nabbed the cute little leader, and carried her back her to sleep with. Ruby was in fact a great snuggle partner, small enough to wrap around and soft so you could rub your cheeks against. She also smelled like roses slightly and what was best was the fact that she cuddled back!

"I wanted someone to snuggle with, so I borrowed Ruby!" Nora giggled as she watched Ren just palm his face. "I even gave her my ear muffs so you wouldn't wake her up! Isn't she cute?"

"Well..." Pyrrha smiled as she stared at the girl that was pressed up happily next to Nora, her cute sleeping mask still covering her eyes and a pair of pink muffs covering her ears. What made the sight even more adorable for the amazon was the fact that it appeared to her that Ruby had to nuzzle her cheeks against something every now and then. "She is quite cute, I must agree."

"But why did you feel the need to go kidnap someone?" Jaune asked as he scratched his scalp.

"It's not kidnaping! I'm just borrowing her!" Nora pouted as she squeezed the girl closer to her chest. "She doesn't seem to mind anyway~!"

"Nora, put her back before she wakes up and I have to try and explain to her why she's in bed with you." Ren sighed as he tried to get the orange haired devil to give up her prize, but was failing.

Suddenly, a burst of hot air made its way from underneath their door along with the roar of an angry dragon. They knew it was from Yang, the sheer force of aura told them that, but what they didn't know was what had set her off like that...until they heard her screaming for her baby sister.

"We gotta hide her!" Nora gasped as she began to move the sleeping jewel for which the dragon roared.

"Are you kidding me?! You want to hide her?!" Jaune hissed as he threw his hands in the air. "Yang is across the hall having a panic attack and you want to hide her baby sister, whom which you kidnaped might I remind you!"

Pyrrha nodded in agreement. "Jaune does have a point, Nora. We should return her to her team and apol-"

"I WILL KILL THE BASTARDS WHO DID THIS!"

"-Hide her! Hide her now!" Pyrrha squeaked as she began to help the other girl move Ruby to one of their closets and pile clothes on top of her.

Ren sighed as he watched the two girls work. "I'm sure we could calm her down and everything will be fine."

As the girls finished their work, they both ran over to their respective partners and drew a deep breath, calming their nerves and gathering their wits...which they would need greatly for this to work.

* SLAM*

The door to their room was kicked open and a charging Yang entered, her eyes a blood red with her hair a mass of flames. She looked pissed and worried at the same time. A few seconds later, Weiss and Blake (still clad in their night wear) came stumbling in the room.

"Guys! Have you seen Ruby?! She's gone!" Yang cried out as she began to search around the small dorm.

"Isn't she always the first to wake up though, Yang?" Pyrrha asked as she tried to calm the trembling Jaune down. She had to admit...Yang did look quite frightening at the moment.

"Yes but...she didn't make her bed or even take her cloak! She takes that thing everywhere she can! I know someone took her!" Yang explained as she began to panic again, but then noticed the nervousness ebb off the blonde leader. She could see it, smell it even, the fear that he showed.

Yang snarled before stepping closer to him, her eyes never once breaking contact with his, and bent a little so they were face to face. "You know something, Jauney-Boy?"

Jaune gulped as he stared into the eye of the storm before his knees began to tremble and the rambling begin. "Y-you see...I mean...it wasn't...She's-" Jaune's rambling was cut off by having his face pressed firmly into the cleavage of his girlfriend.

"You're scaring him, Yang." Pyrrha spoke as though she wasn't holding anyone's face to her body. "Have you checked the dining hall? Maybe she woke up late for her breakfast and rushed out of the door?"

Yang's eyes went wide before she rushed out of the room, a sighing Blake following calmly behind while a snorting Weiss stared at her.

"If you see that red dunce, tell her to find Yang or else we won't be attending school because her monster of a sister had brunt it down." The heiress turned to leave, but stopped and casted everyone a sidelong glance. "And get him out of your breasts before he dies or something." With that, she left.

Team JNPR stood still until the heard the click from the door, everyone relaxing and Pyrrha releasing the gasping Jaune from her bust. The amazon woman grabbed her boyfriend by the collar of his shirt, gave his cheeks three light taps and shook him out of his daze.

"You are a leader, Jaune! You almost caved!"

"Because throwing his face between your breasts was a much better action." Ren pointed out, receiving a blushing hiss from the red head.

"I'm sorry, but did you see her?! I'm in a school, under false transcripts mind you, that trains people to kill Grimm not...not...that!" Jaune explained. "And she was staring right at me!"

A mumble came from the closet, soft and girly, followed by a moment of silence save for the rustle of clothes. Everyone turned to look at the closet then to each other, each asking if they should open it or not. "Yang? Yang! YAAAAAAAAAANG! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!"

Team JNPR jumped, even Ren was surprised by the volume in which the young girl yelled, before they rushed to the door, flung it open. There, in the middle of a giant pile of dirty laundry, sat the small girl getting ready for another cry of her sister's name.

Nora, acting without thinking, shoved Ruby's head into Pyrrha's chest and held it there, smiling at her companions frowning faces. "What? Yang does this to her all the time! Look! She's not even yelling anymore!"

A small, muffled sound came from the captive, the vibration tickling the amazon into a small fit of giggles. The sound seemed to be a question, like stating a name. It came again, more clearly this time. It was definitely a name; Pyrrha's name. "Yes, Ruby. It's me."

"What is with you and shoving people into your chest?!" Jaune asked, his face red with a blush. "And why isn't she freaking out over having her face in your breasts?!"

"Have you seen them?! Girl's got a nice rack on her!" Nora smiled as she nudged her giggling friend. "You can't resist motor boating those!"

Ren shook his head before turning to Jaune, deciding to impart his slight knowledge of women to the clueless leader. "Girls seem to be more easy going with their own kind than with boys. I think it's a compliment or something...maybe it's just a Nora thing, though."

"Alright...And Ruby? Surely she must feel uncomfortable with a face full of boobs." Jaune stated, but only received a small thumbs up from the younger girl.

"Have you seen Yang? She's nothing but boobs! I'm sure Ruby has seen more tits than we'll ever see!" Nora laughed as she patted Ruby on the back. "Ready to stop yelling?"

Ruby slowly removed her face from Pyrrha, then looked around her surroundings. "How did I get here? Where's Yang?"

"You see, Nora-"

"I found you wondering the halls last night! It was dark and stormy and there was this scraping sound coming from outside so I went to go look and I saw you fighting away this demon looking thing and I saved you! So, to further protect you, I stuffed you into the closet so it couldn't find you!" Nora explained, interrupting Ren and making everyone look at her with disbelief.

...There was no way Ruby would buy that...

"Really? I don't remember a thing..."

...Damn excitable imagination...

"Yeah! That's what the demon wants!" Nora pointed out, her face serious and stern.

"Wait a minute Ruby." Ren placed his hands on her shoulders before he drew another breath. He had to nip this in the bud, stop this madness before it began and twist into some horrific play. "What Nora is saying, is that she went into your room last night and took you from your bed so she can snuggle with you."

Ruby sat there for a minute before laughing. After she calmed down, she took a deep breath and sighed happily. "Oh, okay. Well, I should get back to Yang before she gets all worked up."

"NO!" Nora yelled, pushing the younger girl further into the clothes and looking into her eyes. "She's already mad! If she finds out we took you, she'll kill us! She already said so!"

"I would like to point out that it was Nora that took you and both her and Pyrrha that hid you in the first place." Jaune coughed into his hand, avoiding the glare his girlfriend was shooting at him.

"Yea, well..." Ruby nervously chuckled as her eyes started to dart around the room for any possible routes of escape. "I, uhh...gotta go...eat?"

"We'll bring you food! Don't worry! And we can teach you all the stuff we learn in class too, so have no fear!" Nora smiled as she patted the younger on the head. "And you'll sleep with me or Ren, that's if he wants to cuddle."

"That's...nice..." Ruby gulped. She then saw Nora turn her back toward her. This was her chance! She could get out of here and back to her sister! Making a dash for the door, she was horrified to see Nora blocking it.

"Ha! I knew you would try and run! But you speed users can't go all super speedy without something on your tummy or you'll get sick!" Nora chuckled as she watched Ruby pale. "Didn't except me to know that, did you?"

"I didn't." Jaune spoke up. "Where did you learn that? And why does she get sick?"

"We learned that three days ago, Jaune." Pyrrha sighed as she shook her head. "Though I don't think that they taught us this so you may use it against Ruby, Nora."

Ruby, who had been slowly making her way toward the window, gave a glance to see them all talking amongst each other. She gave out a mental smirk before she lifted the glass and leapt out. "See you losers lat-!" Or she would have if Ren hadn't caught her. "Ohh."

"I'm sorry, Ruby. Normally I would try to help you, however..." He trailed off to glance at a smiling Valkyire before giving off a small smile himself.

"I'll remember this." Ruby grumbled as she was placed back into the closet. "Can I at least get something to eat? I'm starving."

Nora smiled as she threw Ruby a bag of gummy Grimms. "Then we can play some games! It'll be like a sleep over party!"

Ruby sighed before she smiled at them. "Alright, I guess I can deal with that...but you really should tell Yang."

~~~~~~ Court Yards~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Team JNPR sighed as they watched the rest of team RWBY, or now WBY, search the school in a fevered pace. They were getting nervous now, more so then this morning simply because Yang was now snarling at anyone, even upper class men and what made it worse was that even they were scared of her.

"I swear by the gods I'll rip the people responsible for this into pieces with my bare hands!" Yang growled, her fists clenched so hard to her sides that her knuckles were a ghostly white.

"Are you sure you guys haven't seen Ruby?" Blake asked them as she came to a halt by their side.

"No." Pyrrha gulped. "May I ask why Yang is so..."

"Dramatically concerned?" Blake sighed as she rubbed her eyes. "Ruby and Yang are very important to one another, it's oblivious by the way they act towards each other, so I guess it's just a big sister trait or something."

"Also, Ruby has to drink some sort of high protein, high carb drink in the morning since she really only eats cookies and strawberries." Weiss added as she tapped her chin in thought. "It's really not like her to run off like this without waking Yang beforehand."

"And what happens if she doesn't have this drink?" Nora asked, tapping the tips of her index fingers together in worry.

"Yang said she gets sick...and a sick Ruby is a mean Ruby." Weiss snorted as she crossed her arms. "Though I doubt Ruby could ever be 'mean'."

"O-oooh."

~ Team JNPR DORM ROOM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ruby groaned as she clenched her stomach tighter in a desperate attempt to stop the grumbling pain that radiated from it. She had ate the snacks and small sandwiches her friends had given her hours ago and even then she was hungry. She tried looking through their small kitchen, but came up empty handed, much to her body's dismay.

She needed food, needed it bad, but she was now locked in the damn closet like some pet! The thought made her snarl at nothing, a small hiss passing through her lips. She needed to get out of here! Back to her dorm room where she can make her damn morning drink and try to calm her stomach before she begins dry heaving and choking on her own gasps for air between each strangled noise.

Ruby barely heard the thuds of feet making their way toward the door, she however didn't miss the flash of light that hit her overly sensitive eyes. "What are you trying to do?! BLIND ME?!" JNPR as a whole was shocked, the only thing they could do was close the door and stand there staring at one another. That is, until the snarling scythe-wielder spoke. "I'm STARVING! You gotta feed me something! I'm already feeling dizzy!"

"Wh-what can we get you, Ruby?" Jaune asked, pressing closer to the door encase he couldn't hear her. That wasn't the case at all.

"ANYTHING! I don't care what it is! Just some freakin' food!" Ruby yelled followed by a horrible gagging sound. "Hu-hurry...up!"

As Ren began making his way to the kitchen, followed by Pyrrha at Jaune's command, Jaune began dialing a number on his scroll before he handed it to Nora, who appeared guilty as well as a little scared. The device rang in her hand for a minute before Yang's face appeared on the screen, eyes still red and...Cardin begging for mercy in the background.

"Yeah?! You find her?!"

"Yeah. She's here in our-" The link was cut before the normally happy teen could even finish her sentence. "Jaune...I don't want to do this."

"I'm sure that once Yang sees Ruby and gets her all better, she'll calm down." Jaune gulped before rubbing the back of his neck. "I hope anyway."

"We should have never hidden her in the first place." Pyrrha sighed as she and Ren came into the room holding two full plates of pancakes covered in syrup. "I panicked upon hearing Yang's outburst and did the first thing that came to mind and I must apologize for that."

"I also have to take some blame as well since I blocked off her escape through the window." Ren sighed as he placed a hand on the closet door knob.

"Ohhhh, really?" The four stiffened immediately, pulses racing as their minds confirmed the owner of that dangerous and sarcastic voice. They turned toward the door, cursing themselves for not locking it once they came in, and gulped as they stared at a snarling Yang.

Before the older sibling could snarl out a response, a series of horrible coughs and gags came from the closet, making everyone cringe. Yang, first to recover from the sounds, moved over to the closet before pulling out a sealed jar full of a thick, almost brown liquid. She gave a gentle tap to the door before a small whimper was heard.

Everyone was shocked to see how pale the girl had become, how bad she looked, but more importantly, how she never snarled or hissed at the older girl who was handing her the jar and gently stroking the younger's messy locks.

It took a few minutes for Ruby to finish the substance, gaging and fighting off dizzy spells in between each desperate gulp, but she did and seemed to have calmed down...a tad. "Stuff tastes horrible." She growled before trying to stand up, but was held down by a concerned Yang. "I'm fine! I just wanna get out of these dirty clothes! I've seen enough boxers and bras today!"

"You gotta give that supplement drink time to work, Ruby." Yang stated as she kept her hold firm on the weakened girl. "If you ate better throughout the day you wouldn't be like this."

"You wanna do this now?! Really?" Ruby groaned as she shrugged off Yang's hand.

"What's...what's going on?" Jaune asked as he watched the two sisters talk to one another, well, Yang was talking...Ruby was hissing.

"Umm, what did they say in class again, Ren?" Nora asked as she tapped her cheek trying to remember the full lecture. "Something about growing?"

"You mean how everyone has to grow into their semblances?" Weiss asked, recalling the lecture in question. "The professor stated that even though we can use our semblances now, we still don't have full control over them yet. Why would that explain what's going on with Ruby?"

"It's her metabolism." Ren sighed as he rubbed his eyes, cursing himself for not seeing this earlier. "Her body needs constant energy to supply to her muscles so she may operate at such extreme speeds, however, since she is still so younger, she can't seem to make her body understand that yet."

As Ren finished his small speech, Yang stood up and began glaring at everyone. "So, wanna tell me what happened?"

"IT WAS MY FAULT!" Nora cried as she hugged the shocked blonde. "I just wanted someone to snuggle with because of the storm! Ren didn't want to so I went into your room because you and Weiss never lock the door and took Ruby!"

Silence filled the room, along with a heavy tension, before Yang let out a sigh and patted Nora's head. "I...see...so really...IT WAS WEISS' FAULT FOR NOT LOCKING THE DOOR!"

"WHAT!? You have got to be joking! You can't pin this on me you idiot!" Weiss shrieked.

"You were the one who didn't lock the door last night! You let Nora in!" Yang growled as she got in the heiress' face.

Weiss, never one to be out done nor back down from a challenge, only pushed back and growled back. "I have no control over Nora's actions! Hell, Ren barely does! Furthermore, Ruby could have told them about her morning drink and we wouldn't be here in the first place!"

"You tryin' ta pin this on my lil' sis?!" Yang snarled as she pushed harder against the smaller woman.

"The only one pointing fingers here is you!"

The room became alive with the buzzing of voices, everyone saying something to someone about...well...no one could tell anymore, really. All anyone could hear was bits and pieces of a sentence now, and it all made Ruby's head spin. It seemed like it bothered Blake as well, the quiet girl began to fidget and Ruby could see her feline ears twitch in an effort to keep from folding back against her scalp to try and silence the noise.

Thinking fast, Ruby tugged on Nora's arm and whispered in her ear before they moved over to Blake and whispered in her ear. All three nodding to each other before they left the room without anyone noticing.

~ 20 Minutes Later~~~~~~~~~~~

"Fine! We give Nora five smacks and break Cardin's legs and call it a day!" Yang huffed as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Agreed."

"Hey...where's Nora?" Ren asked as he glanced around the room. "And Ruby...and Blake."

Yang buried her face in her hands before groaning into them. "I've lost her again!"

Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose before shaking her head at the antics of the blonde. "They probably ran off...I know I want to."

"I think Weiss might be right. Nora's ear muffs are gone." Pyrrha pointed out as she glanced around the room. "Maybe they went to your team's dorm?" Everyone agreed and made their way across the hall to find...

Ruby and Nora snuggling in Ruby's bunk as they were being read to by Blake, who was not only wearing the pink muffs on her sensitive cat ears, but had a cat-nip joint hanging from her mouth.

"...and then, as the alleyway got darker and shit, the shadow crept up on the girl because for some damn reason she couldn't feel his creepy ass stare on her...oh?" Blake noticed everyone gawking at her from the doorway and smiled. "Sup. You guys done screaming now cause, that'd be cool."

"...Is she...is she high?" Jaune asked as sighing Yang.

"Yep...as high as a freakin' kite..." Yang groaned as she watched the sun go down from the window of their room. "How about we just call it a day and go to bed. I'm tired."

Ren nodded as he gathered Nora into his arms as Jaune and Pyrrha waved goodbye and goodnight. "It has been a long day."

~ Next Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"NORA!"

"What?! I brought her morning drink over too!"

A/N: Long ass chapter! But I wanted to express a bit of a headcanon if you will. I'm sure Ruby's semblance eats through her body's energy supplies and maybe that's why she eats so many cookies and sweets. Just playing around with some ideas is all. Hope you guys didn't mind it! Luv ya and until next time!
