Hello everyone! This is The Burning Ruler and I am back with Shade and Velvet… and another chapter of… RWBY: A Demon's Life!

That's right! These two are here again. A couple of you seemed to like them being in the intro and outro, so they will be joining me for the remainder of this story. However, I do have a bit of news.

Yes, we all do.

Yes. We have just heard from our friend here, that this story will only have about five more chapters, give or take a couple.

Yeah. I had a really good time writing this story, and I hope you had a really good time reading, but unfortunately, all good things must eventually come to an end.

Unfortunately, yes they must, but that's enough sadness. Let's start the reviews!

Yeah!

Valkerix: Well, the wait is over. Hope you enjoy! I hope you enjoy this too. You seem like a really nice person. Yeah, you're pretty cool. No, he is awesome. Also, good to know you are keeping up with your story. Looking forward to it.

Dragoon Sensei: Good to know. Thank you. To answer your question, imagine the worst pain you can, and multiply it by pouring lemon juice on an open wound. That is the pain I inflict with a single punch. No it isn't. You are not Saitama (One punch man.). Yeah. But he is about three times stronger than a normal Blood Brother. And yes, ALWAYS pet the doggy.

Guest: Then don't read it. Simple as that.

Alright. That takes care of the reviews.

So all that's left is the disclaimer.

Yep.

The Burning Ruler only owns Shade, Lilian and Sarah and we hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 27: A traitor?

Shade began stirring in his bed around eight am to the sounds of clothes rustling. When he groaned, the sounds stopped abruptly. Faking still being asleep, he left his eyes closed until the sounds resumed, at which point he opened his eyes, to see Weiss and Blake, franticly putting on their under clothes.

"Thank god he's still asleep, huh Blake?" asked Weiss.

"Yeah. Imagine if he was awake. He would kill us." Said Blake, chuckling.

"And what reason would I have to do that?" asked Shade, revealing that he was awake.

Blake and Weiss instantly shut up and slowly turned around to see Shade wide awake, standing up with his arms crossed and glaring at Blake and Weiss.

"Um. How much do you remember exactly?" asked Blake.

"Remember about what exactly?" asked Shade.

"About last night obviously. What else would we be talking about?" asked Weiss.

"What happened last night?" asked Shade, starting to get concerned.

"You don't remember? When you invited us back here last night? What we did?" asked Weiss.

"No. What did we do?" asked Shade, almost too scared to hear the answer.

"Think about what you know so far. We were all in the same room all night. You are wearing different clothes, and we were changing when you woke up. What do you think we did?" asked Blake.

Needless to say, Shade's expression instantly turned form concerned to absolutely mortified.

"Why did you agree to it?!" asked Shade, angry, mostly at himself, even though he didn't remember doing anything like that.

"Why wouldn't we?" asked Weiss.

"Um, let's see, how about the fact that I'm getting MARRIED tomorrow?" asked Shade.

"You aren't making any sense. What does that have to do with what we did?" asked Blake.

Shade just got even more confused.

"Yeah, I mean, it's not like we had sex or anything like that." Said Weiss, laughing.

"Wait… we didn't?" asked Shade.

"Wait a second. You thought that we…" Blake paused.

"Well, with the way you described it what else would I have thought it was?" asked Shade.

"We just trained against you. You were giving us pointers on how to survive a fight against a Blood Brother and to keep our endurance up considering we need to go on a journey and that we will need to fight a lot." Said Weiss, clearing it up.

"Ok. That clears up some things, but why did you decide to change in my room?" asked Shade.

"To see if we could freak you out by making you think we bumped uglies." Said Blake, smirking.

"Well, it worked." Said Shade.

"We could tell. You looked mortified earlier. But we really should get ready to leave." Said Blake.

"Yeah, you should. Your airship is leaving in about a half hour." Said Winter, walking in.

"Half an hour? We need to hustle." Said Shade, grabbing everything he had and shoving it into his backpack.

"Yeah, we do." Said Blake, pulling on her shirt.

"Almost ready, just need to grab something. Meet me outside." Said Weiss, running off.

"Ok." Said Shade and Blake, leaving the house, waving goodbye to Winter and Weiss' Father before exiting the house.

"Wonder what it was she needed to get?" asked Shade.

"Not sure. By the way, who did you pick for your best man and groom's men? Just want to know who I have to dance with." Asked Blake, giving away that she was going to be in the ceremony.

"What are you? Maid of honour of Bridesmaid?" asked Shade.

"Second Bridesmaid." Answered Blake.

"You have to dance with Kami." Said Shade.

"Risa's brother right? The priest boy?" asked Blake, making sure.

"Yeah. Him." Replied Shade.

"Ok. Thanks for letting me know." Said Blake.

At this point Weiss exited the house and handed her scroll to Shade. Shade was confused. It was then that Weiss' scroll buzzed.

"Answer it Shade." said Weiss.

"Ok." Said Shade, answering Weiss' scroll. He saw Brittany's parents.

"Hello Shade. Don't say anything. At least not to us. But say something to her." Said Brittany's father, putting down his phone next to Brittany's gravestone.

"Really?" asked Shade.

"Yeah, sure." Said Brittany's father.

Shade turned back to look at Weiss. She just smiled.

'Thank you.' mouthed Shade back.

"Hey Brittany. It really has been a while hasn't it? Three or four years right? Kind of hard to believe isn't it? I wish I could've spoken to you earlier, but this was my only opportunity. I really miss you, you know. I still have nightmares about that day. I only hope you can forgive me for it. I didn't want it to happen, but there isn't really a lot I can do about it now is there? I guess I just want to say I'm sorry. For everything. But as long as you can forgive me, I can feel fine about telling you this. I'm living in Vale. Training at beacon to be a hunter, and I'm getting married tomorrow. If you want to, feel free to show up, just try not to scare anyone there too much Ok?" asked Shade, jokingly. "Anyways. I think it's about time for me to get going. Bye Britt." Said Shade, saying goodbye to Brittany's parents, hanging up, and giving Weiss her scroll back.

"Hey Weiss?" asked Shade.

"Yes Shade?' asked Weiss.

"Don't take this the wrong way." Said Shade, kissing Weiss on the forehead. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Shade. Now, shall we head back to beacon? I imagine everyone is waiting for us." Said Blake.

"Yeah, let's go." Said Shade, eager to see his fiancé again.

"Well, you sure seem awfully happy today." Said Weiss.

"I'm getting married tomorrow. Of course I'm happy." Said Shade.

"Alright. You do make a good point." Said Blake, as they all boarded the airship back to Vale.

"Actually Shade. I meant to ask you about something. We still don't have a name for that song you wrote." Said Weiss.

Shade thought for a second. "Yeah you're right, we don't. Do you have any ideas?' asked Shade.

"No I don't. How about you Shade?" asked Weiss.

"I got nothing." Said Shade.

Shade and Weiss thought for a second before Blake chimed up.

"How about 'Mirror Mirror'?" asked Blake.

Shade thought for a second. "Yeah, that sounds good." Said Shade

"Alright, so Mirror Mirror it is." Said Weiss.

"Thanks Blake." Said Shade.

"No problem." Responded Blake.

"I just want to bring a couple things up now about the journey we are going on the day after tomorrow." Said Shade, taking on a serious look.

"What is it?" asked Weiss, also holding a serious look.

"Two things. First, I'm sure you already know this, but it will be kill or be killed. If you can't handle that, don't bother coming, you'll just slow us down. Second, the safety of me, Kannon and Sarah are the last priority. We can take more hits. If you need to retreat, just go. We can take care of ourselves." Said Shade.

"Got it. What is top priority?" asked Blake.

"Everyone else's safety. If you have to pick between helping me, Kannon, or Sarah, and helping someone else, help the other person. No matter who it is." Said Shade.

"Anything we should look out for?" asked Weiss.

"If Coco, Neo, or Velvet gets hurt, pull out. Especially if it is Velvet. That will cause a livid Shade to kill almost everything within reach. With Neo, it will probably be me and Sarah, and for Coco, it will probably be a very angry Kannon. Just, watch out for that Ok?" asked Shade.

"Got it." Said Blake, nodding with Weiss.

"Good. We should be close to Vale now." Said Shade.

"Yeah. I think I can see town." Said Weiss.

Shade looked out over the horizon to see the familiar streets.

"Yep. We are back home." Said Shade.

Shade, Weiss and Blake all got off the airship in town and started to leave for the ones that would take them to beacon. On their way back, they passed by the café they loved. They were just going to go by it, but Shade saw Velvet, Coco and Kannon inside.

"Hey. You two go on ahead. I'll see you back at beacon." Said Shade, entering the cafe before the girls could respond.

Shade got inside and went up to the counter and got a drink. He then went up behind Velvet, who was talking with Coco and Kannon about the wedding. Shade held a finger up to his mouth. Coco smiled, noticing him behind Velvet. Kannon just nodded lightly. Shade then leaned over Velvet's shoulder.

"How you doing honey?" said Shade.

Velvet looked over to see Shade. Before she could say anything, Shade planted a passionate kiss on her lips.

"Get a room Shade." said Kannon.

"Shut up Kannon. They're having a moment." Said Coco.

Kannon simply rolled his eyes and smiled before kissing Coco.

After the two couples finished kissing, Shade took a seat beside Velvet and the group continued their conversation. Velvet and Coco were discussing the ceremony, while Shade and Kannon were discussing strategies for the upcoming journey.

"OK so that just leaves us with one thing. Who's going to give you away?" asked Coco.

"I was thinking Yatsuhashi could." Said Velvet and Shade at the same time.

"Ok that was spooky." Said Kannon and Coco at the same time as well.

At this point everyone stopped talking.

"Ok. Let's not talk at the same time anymore." Said Shade.

"Agreed. So Yatsu is going to give you away?" asked Coco.

"Yeah." Said Velvet.

"Sounds good to me." Said a fifth voice.

Everyone looked to the side to see Yatsu and everyone else there as well.

"Hey everyone." Said Shade.

"Hey bro." said Neo.

"Hello, my future sister." Said Velvet.

"I still can't believe that you two are getting married tomorrow. It seems like only about a week ago that you proposed to her!" said Ruby.

"Umm Ruby? It was only a week ago." Said Jaune.

"Oh right." Said Ruby, thinking back.

"By the way Sun, how's the speech coming along?" asked Shade.

"The speech?" asked Sun.

"You know? The speech that the best man always gives at weddings?" asked Shade.

Sun's eyes widened. "Um, exactly how important is the speech?" asked Sun.

"You forgot, didn't you?' asked Shade.

"Um… maybe?" almost asking if that was the correct answer.

"Just speak from the heart Sun." said Shade, rolling his eyes.

With that, everyone sat down and began talking about the ceremony.

"So Sun's your best man?" asked Velvet.

"Yeah. He knows me the best out of everyone here. Well, at least all the guys here." Said Shade, remembering Pyrrha.

"Well, that answers your question Coco." Said Velvet.

"What question?" asked Yang.

"She wanted to know who she was dancing with. She's my maid of honour, so she has to dance with the best man. In this case, Sun." said Velvet.

"Really? In that case, you may want to watch out for Kannon, Sun." said Shade.

"Yeah. You make a good point." Said Sun, looking at Kannon. However, Kannon looked completely calm.

"Who do I have to dance with?" asked Ren.

"Who's your first bride's maid Velvet?" asked Shade.

"Pyrrha." Replied Velvet.

"There's your answer Ren." Said Shade.

"What about me Shade? Who's your last Groom's man?" asked Risa.

"Matt. Remember the guy who introduced us? Mercenary contracts?" asked Shade.

"Yeah of course." Said Risa.

"This week seems like it has gone by way too fast hasn't it?" asked Jaune.

"I guess you could think that." Said Russel.

Shade finished his drink and was about to get another one when he remembered a couple things he needed to do. Talk to Jaune and explain the story about Brittany.

"I'm going to head up and get another drink, anyone else want anything?" asked Shade.

Enough people agreed so that Shade would need someone else to come with him to carry them all in one trip.

"Alright. Jaune can you come with me so I only need to make one trip?" asked Shade.

"Yeah sure. I'll be right back." Said Jaune, kissing Pyrrha.

"How's it going Jaune?" asked Shade.

"Pretty good, but…" said Jaune before trailing off.

"But what? What's wrong man?" asked Shade.

"Well, it's about Pyrrha. I need some advice about her." Said Jaune.

"Well, you came to the right guy for advice on her. What's up?" asked Shade.

"That's the thing. I don't know. When we are alone together she just shuts me out. I try to talk to her and she just ignores me. I'm worried she may not like me anymore." Said Jaune.

"That seems strange. Doesn't sound like her at all." Said Shade.

"I know. That's why I need some help." Said Jaune.

"Hang on for just a sec." said Shade going back to the table.

"Hey Pyrrha? Can you come with me? I need to talk to you." Said Shade.

"Yeah, sure thing." Said Pyrrha, getting up and following Shade.

When Shade got back with Jaune, he really got serious.

"Aright, one of you is lying to me, and frankly, I don't appreciate it." Said Shade, threateningly.

"What do you mean?" asked them both.

"Pyrrha, you are worried that Jaune may not like you because your relationship doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Jaune, you are worried that Pyrrha may not like you anymore because she is shutting you out and seems to be ignoring you. Looking at this, only one of you can be telling the truth, and if you want me to help you out, I need to know who is lying." Said Shade.

However, rather than turning to face Shade, Jaune and Pyrrha turned to each other.

"You think I'm shutting you out?" asked Pyrrha.

"You think I don't want this to go anywhere?" asked Jaune.

"Please, one problem at a time." Said Shade.

"Alright. Ladies first I guess." Said Jaune.

"OK. So, you think I'm shutting you out?" asked Pyrrha, bewildered.

"Well, for the past few days I've tried to talk to you but you don't respond to me when I do. Even then, it seems like you are falling out of love with me lately." Said Jaune, voicing his concerns openly.

"What are you talking about? Of course I still love you!' said Pyrrha, as if it was obvious.

"You haven't said it lately…" said Jaune.

"Does that make men think like this?" asked Pyrrha.

"Not all men, but some of them. Mostly it's just guys who are insecure about romantic relationships, but even I have been like this before, and you know how secure I am when I'm in a relationship." Said Shade.

"That is true. So, you really think that I'm trying to shut you out?" asked Pyrrha, getting back to the real issue.

"Yeah. It seems that way at least." Said Jaune.

"I think I may know what the problem here is." Said Shade, as if having a revelation.

"What is it?" asked Jaune.

"I think Pyrrha was worried that you were becoming less interested in her because she was getting too clingy and desperate. So much so that you would want to leave her if she continued, so she devised a plan to make it seem like she didn't care where your relationship went, however, Jaune, you interpreted it as her shutting you out, when she was just trying to show you that she wasn't desperate." Said Shade.

Jaune looked back at Pyrrha. She simply nodded. "That's what it was?" asked Jaune.

"Yeah. I thought you wouldn't want me anymore if you thought I was desperate, so I tried to show you I wasn't." said Pyrrha.

"Even though, in a way, she was." Said Shade.

"Why would that matter? I love you, and the only reason that I would have to not want you, is because I NEED you." Said Jaune, kissing Pyrrha on the lips.

After Jaune pulled away, Pyrrha had tears starting in her eyes, but she wiped them away quickly.

"Now, on to the other problem. Jaune, Pyrrha is worried since your relationship isn't going anywhere, she is worried it never will. Response?" asked Shade, bringing up the other issue.

"I can assure her that it will go somewhere. I just want to wait until I'm sure we are ready. Don't worry Pyrrha. It will go somewhere." Said Jaune, reassuring Pyrrha.

Pyrrha wasn't able to respond. She just threw her arms around Jaune in a tight hug. "I love you Jaune." Said Pyrrha.

"I love you too Pyrrha." Said Jaune, returning the hug.

"I think we should thank someone here as well." Said Pyrrha, releasing Jaune.

"Oh right. Thanks Shade." said Jaune, while Pyrrha ran over and wrapped Shade in a hug as well.

"No problem guys. Seems like not only am I a hunter-in-training and a genetically modified grim hybrid, but I'm also a relationship counsellor apparently." Said Shade.

"Bit of a jack of all trades aren't you?" asked Jaune.

"Yeah. It seems that way doesn't it?" asked Shade.

"Anyways, we should get everyone's drinks now." Said Shade, going up to the counter and buying all the drinks. "Jaune? A hand please?" asked Shade.

Jaune then clapped and smirked.

"Very funny. Now help me." Said Shade.

Jaune smirked again and walked over to Shade, picking up the second tray and following Shade back to the table.

"We're back." Said Shade as he and Jaune handed out everyone's drinks.

Everyone started drinking until Shade spoke.

"Everyone, I noticed something. I still haven't explained Brittany to any of you." Said Shade.

"That's right! We forgot about that." Said Yang, leaning towards Shade.

"Are you sure you want to explain that right now Shade?" asked Blake.

"Better to get it out now." Said Shade.

Everyone leaned towards Shade in order to listen closer.

"Alright. Here's the story." Said Shade, beginning the story. Shade covered everything. No detail was left out. When Shade got to the part about her committing suicide he needed to stop and take a few deep breaths to try and keep the tears down as they threatened to escape. After the story everyone looked at Shade, and wondered how he was able to keep all the emotions inside and not go insane.

"That is what I was talking about when I said losing his parents wasn't even close to the worst thing that has happened to him." said Blake.

"After hearing this, I have to agree." Said Ruby.

"Seconded. How is it you are able to keep up such a happy façade with all the loss you have experienced in your life?" asked Coco.

Shade's face began to fall slightly, before returning to its normal sly smirk. "When you have had to go through all the shit I have, you have to find a way to or it will kill you from the inside out. All the loss, the pain, the death, the damage, the fear, the destruction. Everything. I guess after this long, I have just gotten used to it… mostly." Said Shade.

"It doesn't seem possible for a human being to just accept all that." Said Nora.

"You seem to be forgetting, I'm not a human being." Said Shade. "I'm a blood brother."

"He's right you know. Being part Grim probably helps him with that." Said Ren.

"Alright enough with the serious stuff! Let's get happy again." Said Ruby.

"Hell yeah I second that!" said Risa.

"We should probably bring up our extra thought for the party after the wedding." Said Neo.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that! We were thinking we could do some karaoke. But a couple things. We think that all the guys who are in relationship should have to sing together, as well as all the girls, and finally, the married couple should as well." Said Sarah.

"Sounds good to me." Said Shade.

"Me too." Said Velvet.

"Alright. Karaoke it is!" said Yang.

"So now that that's settled, where should we go?" asked Shade.

"I vote we walk around until we find something interesting." Said Sarah.

"That usually works." Said Kami.

"It hasn't failed us yet." said Pyrrha.

"Alright then. Let's get going then." Said Shade, standing up. Everyone else followed quickly.

The group walked around town for a few hours until Blake said something.

"Hey Shade. If we are looking for a place to go, why don't we bring everyone… there?" asked Blake.

At first, Shade wasn't sure what she meant. However, after a while, he realized there was only one place that only he and Blake knew about.

"Sounds like a great idea. Follow us guys." Said Shade, smiling. He led them through the streets and down the same alley that he had brought Blake on their first date.

"Where are we going?" asked Sarah.

"You'll see." Replied Blake.

"We're here." Said Shade, moving the bushes out of the way.

"Alright." Said Yang, walking through the bushes and gasping.

"What is it Yang?" asked Ruby.

"The most beautiful sight I have ever seen. Get over here now!" said Yang.

After hearing Yang everyone walked through the bush and had a similar reaction.

"Oh my god…How did you even find this place Shade?" asked Pyrrha.

"A friend of mine back in Mistral told me about it." Answered Shade, before starting to look around suspiciously.

"What's up?" asked Weiss.

"I'm not sure, I just have a feeling. It almost like someone else is here. Watching us." Said Shade.

"Someone like who?" asked Velvet.

"That's what I can't figure out. We are the only ones who know about this place… except for…" Shade paused.

"Except for who?" asked Sun.

"Except for my friend from back in Mistral." Said Shade, before looking back up into the trees before smirking again and waving into the distance.

However, no one else saw anybody. Then they heard rustling in the trees above them. They all looked up.

"Everyone, meet my friend from Mistral. Get down from the damn tree already." Said Shade.

The girl rolled her eyes and jumped down. The girl had short green hair and dark skin. Her eyes were red, just like Shade's. She wore high heels. Her left arm had bandages wrapped around her bicep. She was wearing a white shirt, green around her chest, with a black emerald symbol on the back. She also wore a pair of pants that went down to mid-calf that were white around her waist and brown the rest of the way down. She was wearing a brown belt and had her weapons strapped to the back of her waist.

"I am starting to regret showing you how to climb trees." Said Shade.

"I know. But maybe you should introduce us so that your friends aren't so confused." Said the girl.

"Alright. Everyone, this is Emerald Sustrai. My friend who found this place and told me about it." Said Shade. "Emerald this is-" Shade got cut off.

"Can we do our own introductions?" asked Ruby.

"Of course." Said Shade.

The teams introduced themselves one by one. First team RWBY, The Team JNPR, and when they got to Shade's team they realized Kami was missing.

"He was with us, must've gone somewhere." Said Shade.

"Not important right now I guess." Said Emerald.

After introducing the rest of Shade's team they moved on to Sarah's team, but Lilian was also missing.

"Hm. I can't be the only one thinking that-" Coco cut off Shade.

"Nope. You aren't." said Coco.

"Alright. Let's continue." Said Velvet.

"Alright." Said Ruby introducing Kannon.

"Finally, we have Team CFVY." Said Ruby.

"This is Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, Yatsuhashi or Yatsu Daichi, and finally, Velvet Scarlatina." Said Ruby.

"Nice to meet all of you. Now I just need to ask something. I can't help but notice something. Velvet is holding hands with Shade. Are you two dating?" asked Emerald.

Shade and Velvet looked at each other. "Um, kind of?" said Shade, unsure.

"What do you mean, kind of?" asked Emerald.

"Well, we are together." Said Velvet.

"So you are dating?" asked Emerald.

"Well, actually, we are engaged." Said Shade.

Emerald just looked shocked. "Um." was the only sound that Emerald made for the next minute.

"Surprised?" asked Shade.

Emerald seemed to think about it for a second, before looking at Velvet, seemingly examining her, before shaking her head. "Not really anymore. She seems like a nice enough girl. I can see why you fell for her." Said Emerald.

"She's also not hard to look at." Said Kannon, before getting a death glare from Coco and Shade.

"That came out wrong! I mean she is beautiful, and I can see why you fell for her, but you know that I love Coco." Said Kannon, explaining himself.

Shade simply shrugged, but Coco was sent into shock.

"What's wrong Coco? Are you feeling alright?" asked Neo, confused.

Kannon also looked concerned. Coco then started to tear up.

"Um, Kannon? Was this the first time?" asked Shade.

"First time what?" asked Kannon.

"The first time you told Coco you loved her?" asked Shade.

Kannon then realized what he had said. "Um…" was all he said before smiling at Coco.

"You really love me?" asked Coco.

Kannon still just smiled at her.

"That looks like a conclusive yes." Said Emerald.

"Seems that way." Said Shade.

Shade was about to continue, but his ears perked up. He began focusing to try and hear what it was. It was faint, but he could hear what sounded like footsteps. At first it only sounded like a few sets, but after a few more seconds, it turned into what sounded like a whole army.

"Everyone, hide. Now!" said Shade, jumping into the trees.

Everyone was confused, but they listened. All getting into a tree or behind some bushes. After a few minutes of waiting, Shade saw a group of Blood Brothers enter his field of vision. After a few more minutes, many more showed up.

"Damn. Everyone stay quiet." Whispered Shade.

The Blood Brothers seemed to be searching for something or someone.

"It doesn't look like they are here." Said one.

"Maybe the intel we got was off." Said another.

"Doesn't make sense. They haven't led us wrong yet." Said one.

"True, but it seems that way. Guess we should head back to base. Maybe we'll get some more intel when we get there." Said the first one before they all left.

After the footsteps were inaudible again, everyone came out of their hiding places.

"Did you hear that? They knew that we were here." Said Sarah.

"Yeah. I noticed that too. Someone must have let them know." Said Sun.

"But who could it be?" asked Mercury.

Emerald seemed to be thinking.

"What are you thinking?" asked Ruby

"Didn't you say that there were two people missing from your group? Could it be them?" asked Emerald.

"No. It couldn't be them. They don't know about this place's existence." Said Shade.

"True. But then that means…" Yang trailed off.

"It one of us here. One of us is working for the enemy." Said Cardin.

"Strange." Said Shade.

"What?" asked Neo.

"Those Blood Brothers said 'They have never led us wrong before.' They. Which means it was more than one of us. To me it also says that they may have been behind some of the other attacks. Like Junior's bar and Weiss' house." said Shade.

'The only question is who it was." Said Russel.

"Not sure." Said Risa.

"Anyways looks like it's getting late. We should probably get back to beacon soon. Don't want to be tired during the ceremony do we?" asked Coco.

"No. We don't. Let's go." Said Shade leading all his friends, minus Emerald who needed to get back to Mistral, back to the airships. Halfway back to the airships, they saw Kami and Lilian in a store together. They were about to go in when they saw Lilian hug Kami tightly and then kiss him.

"Did I miss something while I was away?" asked Shade.

"Not that we know of." Said Sun.

"Well, shall we go inside?' asked Velvet. Shade nodded.

Shade walked in and walked right up to them.

"I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?" asked Shade.

Kami turned around to see all his friends behind him.

"Um. Nope. Nothing at all. It's not like me and Lilian-" Kami was shut up by Lilian clamping her hand over his mouth.

"Please. Shut up." Said Lilian.

"Um. Right." Said Kami.

"So you two like each other huh?" asked Velvet.

"What? No." said them both.

"We saw you kiss Kami, Lilian. We aren't stupid." Said Yatsu.

"…Shit…" said Lilian.

"Yep. That pretty much sums it up." Said Kami.

"Anyways, congrats you two." Said Shade.

"Thanks Shade." said Kami.

"Anyways, we should get back to beacon so we can get some sleep for the ceremony tomorrow." Said Yang.

"Yeah. Let's go." Said Blake.

With that, everybody went back to beacon and went to sleep.

'I'm getting married tomorrow.' was the last thing Shade thought before falling asleep.

Alright. There's Chapter 27 done.

Kind of hard to believe isn't it?

Yeah. But it has been a lot of fun at least.

That's true. Anyways, next chapter will be the wedding and maybe some other stuff depending on how long it is. Anyways, remember to leave a review of what you thought. Hopefully we'll see you all in the next chapter. But in the meantime, I need to get to a request one of my friends gave me. I will explain in the first chapter of that story.

Goodbye!
