Me: Back for chapter three of RWBY. Apologies for the long wait.

Also, a note it the anonymous reviewer, "Your Slutty Mum": I don't know or care in-fact who you are, no one wants to hear your complaining, also you just talking like that makes me not want to update. So because of you I'm not updating again for quite a while.

Flashbacks of Anger, Memories of Sadness

A monstrous roar of cheers echoed throughout the opened top dome. Ruby cupped her hands over her ears tightly so she wouldn't go temporarily deaf. She glanced at the twelve inch long bandage along her right arm.

Ruby's face held worry as she remembered when she and Weiss had their spar.

- FLASHBACK AWAY! -

The door slammed-

Whoa whoa whoa stop that flashback!

Why?

Because you got the wrong damn flashback!

Really?

Yes!

*checks the screen and blushes* Crap my bad!

*facepalms* I hired the worst flashback player I swear. Enjoy the chapter while I teach this guy about the great technology known as looking with his eyes.

Hopefully the correct FLASHBACK!

Ruby's jaw was still fallen, confused at Weiss' proposition, "You," she pointed at Weiss, "Want me," at herself, "to spar against you." She finished.

Weiss nodded, twirling her rapier exceptionally between her fingers, "Yep. When looking over your scythe I noticed the elegant design and texture that was in it. Not to mention the feeling of how deathly smooth it was when releasing the locking mechanism. The sharpness of the blade as well, did you know anyone by the name Mira Aisuru?" She asked, eyebrow raised.

Ruby's face dropped, "Yes, my mother." She murmured loud enough for Weiss to hear.

"You sound as if that's bad, is everything ok?" Weiss mentally smacked herself, just remembering that Ruby wouldn't want to bring up anything personal, "If you don't want to talk about it I understand."

Ruby just gave a small smile, "It alright. My mother died a few years back. Yet even to this day, I still don't know what caused her death. Also, to your question, my mother designed how the weapon would work, however," Ruby smirked, "I made Crescent Rose." Weiss was impressed, but that didn't distract her.

"Very well. Now then, let's see how the creator uses her weapon against a master. En garde!" Weiss proclaimed charging forward. She jumped over the fountain and brought her sword tip downwards as to stab. Ruby broke out of her stupor and jumped backwards, rolling backwards and activating Crescent Rose.

"Ok. Let's start." Ruby grinned, twirling her scythe. She charged At Weiss with an attempt to disarm but when reaching the white haired female she was swept when Weiss kicked her feet from under her and elbowed Ruby in her sternum. Ruby was sent into a bush nearby and her scythe was lost in the fountain. Weiss stood there, waiting for Ruby to emerge. A minute later Ruby came out, but cuts were aligned along all of her body, with her clothes ripped.

Ruby, with a limp, groaned, "Ouch." She said.

Weiss just grunted, "You have no elegance with your attacks and your stance could use work." Ruby winced at Weiss' painful words and the sting her wounds gave her but she still stood. They stared at each other for a few minutes before Ruby moved to grab her weapon. As Ruby gripped her now soaked scythe she remembered what her father told her before she was sent away to her uncle.

"If no victory can be seen within grasp, one must fight with all his strength, not to prevail, but to assure the pain still to be induced upon victorious enemy." Ruby's father looked down at the young girl, smiling at her curious face.

"That quote was by the Sun Tzu, the person who wrote: "The Art of War" young one. I know your mother wouldn't want me to tell you this at a young age but I want you to know this for the future." He hugged his daughter.

"I just wish she was here to see you…"

Ruby smiled sadly at the memory, hesitating to pull the weapon. She shook her head, remembering what her father told her and grabbed the scythe, turning to face Weiss.

"Let's go." Ruby whispered before charging again, this time with one arm gripping the scythe. As Weiss tensed in anticipation for the strike Ruby put her free arm against the ground and flipped, kicking Weiss in her chest. As Weiss flew back Ruby back flipped and used the sniper function on Crescent Rose. She took aim and locked onto Weiss' rapier as she was flying. The bullet was fired from the barrel and suddenly a loud clang was heard, signifying that it hit. As Ruby pulled the charge and loaded another bullet she looked at where Weiss was. Ruby quickly grinned when she noticed the rapier stuck in the ground and Weiss away.

"Weiss?" Ruby asked, looking upon the fallen body of the woman. Hearing nothing the red loving teen got worried for her acquaintance and ran over to her not moving body. She put Crescent Rose away as she got near and kneeled next to Weiss.

"Weiss?" Ruby asked quietly. Before she knew it Weiss stood up and tackled her away. As both rolled Weiss rolled away and grabbed her rapier, quickly turning and the tip of the sword was suddenly at Ruby's face, barley an inch from her nose.

"You never let your guard down in the field of battle or next time," Weiss sneered before pulling her rapier away and sheathing it, "You'll end up dead." Weiss finished before turning around. As Ruby stood up she had a saddened look, before turning around. Suddenly Weiss snapped around and launched her rapier, barely snitching the Ruby's hair. Ruby was appalled Weiss would do something like that before she noticed what it hit. A black figure appeared from shadows before it fell and disappeared. Ruby barley got a look at it but gasped when she noticed it, it was a Beowolf!

Ruby's teeth gnarled together before she clenched her fists in anger; why now?

Her eyes snapped to Weiss for a moment before she noticed that there were three beowolves that were nearing Weiss, and she was defenseless. Ruby had to think, and fast! Ruby snapped open Crescent Rose and took aim at the center wolf. She fired and it pierced through the left eye of the middle wolf. It's scream pierced the air as the two other wolves near Weiss flinched and stopped for a moment, giving Ruby ample time to react.

"Weiss!" Ruby yelled to get her attention. Weiss didn't move however and Ruby groaned, knowing she would need to do something. Ruby quickly charged towards Weiss and shoved her out of the way before one of the wolves swiped randomly. Ruby, seeing the claws heading towards her face crossed her arms as the claw swiped her right arm. Ruby cried out as she was struck and stumbled backwards, clutching her injured, now not usable arm.

"Crap." Ruby mumbled, glancing down at her arm. She cringed at the damage: her elbow down was covered in blood and it cut at her bone. Ruby was surprised she wasn't screaming since her bone was partially cut but that didn't matter; she now had to figure out how to one hand a decently heavy scythe.

She didn't have to however as she saw a Beowolf's eyes widen before Ruby saw a rapier inject itself through the sternum of the black creature. It shattered into white rose petals and Weiss appeared. She nodded to the black and red haired girl before she swiftly sliced her rapier to her left, severing the head of it. The white rose petals shot out of the now gone wolf as Weiss glanced down at the thorn less rose.

She gently grabbed Ruby's arm and held it to her face, the rose all the while flinching and cringing in pain.

"Get back into the house and have Josephine patch you up." She glanced behind Ruby at about, 15 wolves ready to strike on the young but deadly tulip.

Ruby's face etched worry, "W-what about you?" She asked afraid for the white rose.

Weiss however smiled, "You just saved me from being either injured or killed. Now, let me help you." Weiss said softly. Ruby nodded numbly, Weiss' voice to soft and comforting to argue with. She started to walk by, clutching her arm as to prevent it from bleeding even more than it was. Weiss quickly turned around and saw the wolf rush after Ruby. Weiss' rapier shone a bright blue before rushing towards the oncoming Beowolf, ready to strike.

- FLASHBACK END! -

Ruby turned down towards the stage and saw Weiss enter, the florescent transient curtains being spread apart to make way for her. Ruby smiled down at the girl, knowing that it was her who saved the rose. Weiss down upward glanced up at the stands and caught the smile of Ruby Rose. Weiss frowned, remembering what Josephine had told her on top of what she'd remembered.

- FLASHBACK AWAY! AGAIN! -

Ruby stumbled through the front door and slammed onto the floor, landing on her injured arm. Ruby screamed loudly, trying to squirm her arm from under her full body weight. As she finally got her arm out from under her the thorn less rose heard footsteps screeching towards her. She glanced up and through blurred vision she saw Josephine run towards her with a look of panic.

The brunette kneeled next to Ruby and noticed the look of terror and pain.

"Oh my god…" Josephine said numbly when she saw the wound on Ruby arm, and the amount of blood following soon. She shook her head and picked Ruby up gently, noticing how pale the girl was, well, more than she already was. She started dragging Ruby over to a med room while calling for some assistance. Some other maids scrambled around and the ones who took medical school followed the two to the med room and went forward to grab some vital items and set them across a table top. Ruby was soon dragged into the room and set on the bed provided, clutching her dead arm.

As well…trying to fix up Ruby's arm they saw that an actual doctor would be needed for this so Josephine called for a ride to the hospital nearby, to which the others agreed. Two maids diverse in medical decided to take Ruby, which Josephine agreed. The brunette helped the two, Jane and Jessica, bring Ruby into the back seat of the car. Josephine glanced at the bandaged arm of Ruby; it was a mess of red gauze that was put together too fast, but it did stop the blood from coming out.

Josephine smiled sadly and whispered something, "Get better, for both of us." She said before closing the door, turning to go back inside. After she turned around to close the door:

"How is she?" Josephine jumped at the sudden voice, falling on her butt. She quickly stood up and turned around, sighing when she saw it was only Weiss. However that relief was soon turned to shock when she saw the state Weiss was currently in. Over her left eye was an opening wound with blood falling over her left eye and below. Her clothes were ripped up, her stomach exposed with some claw marking and her legs had scratches and scars all over. However, Lady Schnee stood tall and strong, and by the looks of it she wasn't even flinching at the upcoming pain from the wind slicing into her body from the openings.

The only wound Josephine seemed worried about was the one above Schnee's eye.

She lightly traced her fingers on the outside of the wound, mumbling, "Your scar's opened up again." She said, grabbing Weiss' wrist and dragging her to the med room.

Weiss however snatched her arm away, stepping back, "No. Take me to Ruby. It's my fault she's in a position like this and no doubt she's more injured than I am."

Josephine bit he lip, "But… The wound…" She tried to explain.

Weiss shook her head, crossing her arms, "I know the consequences, but I'd rather see her first. Take me to the hospital." Weiss' voice was cunning and demanding, and Josephine knew she couldn't win.

"How was the fight?" Josephine said asked as she led Weiss to the company car. Weiss had refused to do anything other than go see what was happening with Ruby, even change. Josephine had flushed a little when she saw barely anything cover her chest, with her stomach exposed and a little of the top shaved off during the fight. About seven inches of vertical cloth was all that was covering her exposed skin. It was a little weird to see her master like that, but she knew that when Weiss Schnee put her mind to something, she wouldn't falter until it was completed.

Weiss grinned as she entered the car, "Very fun. I haven't been able to fight with Myrtenaster since…" She stopped and traced her fingers along the wound that was slowly but surely closing itself. Weiss felt little particles of dust slide up and down gently as if it was weaving something shut. Josephine noticed that her mistress stopped talking and, after getting in the driver's seat, glanced over at Weiss and saw little pieces of white dust shimmer off of her and land on her lap.

Josephine pushed on Weiss' shoulder, snapping her out of her trance, "Are you ok?" The maid asked timidly. Weiss shook her head and glanced over at Josephine, nodding.

"Yes, I am alright." When she noticed the somewhat glazed look of her personal servant, Weiss hid a smirk, "Are you ok Joe?" Weiss teased. Joseph snapped out of her stare, and you could all guess what she was staring at, stuttering. Josephine was actually gay or lesbian, however you want to call it, and had a crush on her mistress, but she could never say it. Weiss knew about the crush, and, while she was flattered, didn't like her back. She never told Josephine that she knew however, and just decided to just tease her about it. It was comedy with how Josephine handled Weiss' teasing.

"Uh… I-I…" Josephine just stopped talking and, with a heavy blush, faced the road and turned on the car. Weiss laughed internally at Josephine's attitude, and she knew that she should just tell Joe that she didn't like her back but, Weiss never got a chance to tell her. Weiss would've told her during the trip but Josephine drove so fast that they never had enough time to chat. Josephine rushed out of the car and ran inside, Weiss following at a slower place. Upon entering the hospital Weiss felt eyes upon a…certain body part, but those were soon dispersed at the sight of the rapier and the feel of the cold glare. Weiss walked towards Josephine and tapped her shoulder, startling her.

Josephine turned towards Weiss after finishing her conversation, "Yes?" Joe asked.

"Did you find her room?" Weiss asked.

Joe nodded, "Yes. Floor 4, room H-17." Weiss nodded and followed the maid to the elevator. Upon entering Josephine quickly inputted the button and the door clothes, leaving the two severed from the world for a short period of time.

Weiss noticed something eating at Josephine, considering the worried look and the constant shaking.

"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Weiss asked, already knowing the reason. Josephine squeaked, forgetting that her mistress was with her.

"Uh-Well… Um…" Josephine stuttered for a moment. Weiss raised an eyebrow while her eyes shone amusement. Josephine sighed after a minute and clenched her fists, this was her chance!

"Well…" She bit her lip, turning to Weiss, "For the longest time, since a month after you arrived, I've had a crush on you…" She trailed off, bowing her head and her body shaking.

Weiss decided to take over, bringing her arm up, "Joe-" Josephine smacked her hand away, bringing her face up, showing the tears in her eyes.

"I love you Weiss!" Josephine cried out. Weiss let her hand fall to her side as she stared at Josephine in shock; she knew that Josephine had a crush on her but she didn't know she loved her!

"Josephine…" Weiss murmured. Seeing her servant like and her first friend like this was hurting her, and it hurt her even more since Weiss didn't reciprocate the maid's feelings.

"I-I'm sorry." Weiss said, catching the stunned Josephine's attention, "But I can't accept your love." Before Josephine uttered a word Weiss continued;

"I am flattered; truly, to be loved by such a beautiful young woman, but I don't love you back. I'm sorry." Weiss said, wrapping her arms around the shattered brunette.

After a minute Weiss released her as the ding of the elevator confirmed their arrival.

Josephine bowed, "I thank you of your truthfulness Lady Schnee, I really do." Josephine said gratefully. Her face became bright red when Weiss picked her head up and plant a kiss to her forehead.

When Weiss pulled away Josephine saw a rare bright smile along her mistress's face, causing her heart fluttering.

"Even though we may not be together, know that I will always be there for you. And call me Weiss." Weiss whispered before opening the door, walking towards Ruby's room. Josephine stayed silent before pressing the down key on the elevator. The last thing Josephine saw was Weiss' back as she moved to find the door.

- FLASHBACK END! AGAIN! -

Weiss gave a small sigh as she shook her head, glancing out at the crowd.

She cleared her throat:

"Mirror… Tell me something…"
