Chibis! Chapter 14, a rwby fanfic

WE DON'T OWN RWBY! IT IS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF ROOSTER TEETH! THANK YOU!

-Also! I was re-watching RWBY earlier and I noticed that Weiss' eyes slowly turn from blue to a pale silver. Does anyone else see that? Or is it just me? And if you do see it, any theories on it?

To EndlessChains:

Thanks! Glad you liked the cabin and how it had power. My brother says the symbols will be revealed eventually and he hopes you'll like it. The Ruby and Yang 'chase' as my brother calls it was loosely based off of a real event. As for Raven…even I was surprised. My brother seems to have a lot of twists in this. We hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

To RWBY Fan Mode:

I DO have a semblance that predicts the future! And it's telling me you'll leave another review! Haha! I agree with you on our Ladybug duo! They were so freakin' cute! When I read over it and saw Raven I had to stop and actually ask Dark if he was serious. I hope she's on the good side too!

To Guest:

Yes, actually. Though he was asked for in a review previously. Have you read it? Sisterly Antics: Ruby is really good!

To Jay aka Jordan:

Yep! I love some Ladybug! Glad the Yang and Weiss scene was descriptive enough for you. Yes, a little steamy BUT just a little lol This is a T rating.

To Vanitas Lunar:

YEP! I wonder the same… *Goes off screen to question Dark* Yeah, I got nothing. He won't tell me! And yeah, Ruby's got a knack for running off. Glad you liked our Ladybug! Hope you enjoy this chapter too!

To manticore-gurl071134:

THANKS! :D It was Raven, but Blake doesn't know much about her, only what Yang knows and that's pretty limited.

To DarkMoonRaveWolf:

Really? XD AWESOME! Here's the next chapter for you to enjoy!

To ayylmao10:

I'm glad to hear you love it! :D

To SilverWordsmith47:

Thanks! I wonder the same! Maybe my brother will FINALLY reveal what Cinder wants!

To Dahlia:

I did not steal anything. Yes, I did use the idea of Sir Floats and what it entails from Sisterly Antics: Ruby. I apologize if that offends you. If you have a problem with it, we can discuss it through PMs like respectable adults, not like squabbling children arguing through a review with no account behind it. As of this point time though, I have permission to use this idea. I have re-uploaded the chapter stating that the idea was from Demeter Fenir, an understanding person and an extraordinary writer. If others have a problem with Chapter 13, then I will take the chapter down and that will be the end of it. -Dark

"Weiss-y," Yang whispered, gently scratching the little heiress' back in an attempt to wake her up. After last night, Yang and Blake had returned to find Weiss curled up by the door with evidence of having cried herself to sleep. Blake had immediately picked the girl up, who on contact had snapped awake and clung to Blake. Both women had felt a bit guilty at having left, and Blake had spent over an hour just holding Weiss and trying to get her to go back to sleep.

"It's time to wake up, Icy Girl." Yang said as Weiss turned over to face Yang and cuddle against her. This brought a smile to Yang's lips as she brushed Weiss' hair back and bent down to give the tiny six year old a kiss on her forehead, laughing softly when Weiss moved away from the touch and started to suck on her fist. "Weiss-y~" Yang whispered, deciding to poke the girl's pink cheeks to wake her up.

"Let her sleep, Yang." Blake said as she walked into the room with Ruby trailing behind her. "It looks like Winter was right about food lasting us, but there's nothing but preserves and a few bottles of alcohol." Blake told her while pulling her bow over her ears.

"I hate that thing." Yang growled as Blake walked around the bed to give her a kiss and grab the small wallet in Yang's bag.

"I know, but I need it." Blake told her and slipped the wallet into her pocket before looking down at Ruby as she tried to pull herself up on the bed. "Ruby and I are going to the town to get a few things. There's oatmeal on the stove, and yes I added sugar to it before you ask." Blake said, laughing slightly at the slight disgust on Yang's face at the mention of the bland food.

"I give bye love!" Ruby grunted, smiling when Blake lifted her up and held her out to Yang, who tapped her nose before receiving a kiss on the cheek.

"Take care of Blake, Rubes." Yang grinned as Blake set the girl down and laughed at the salute.

"We'll be back." Blake told her, walking out of the room with Ruby and grabbing Gambol Shroud. She'd probably need it with their luck, Ruby was a trouble magnet and Winter had mentioned there being a nest nearby.

`…`…`…`

Going through the forest was no problem, doing it with a hyper four year old though made Blake second guess herself.

"What this?" Ruby asked, darting over to a small fern with narrow leaves that branched off in rows from the stem and flared outward. It was a familiar plant to Blake but after seeing more than a dozen and each one pointed out by Ruby, it was getting tiresome. Without Weiss to help Ruby's energy, Blake was learning very quickly how inquisitive and adventurous Ruby could be.

"A fern, Ruby." Blake said, watching as Ruby nodded before running a little way away to inspect another plant, her small red cape flying behind her like a familiar flag as Blake followed. "Ruby, this way." Blake called out, her ears finally picking up on the sounds of people as they walked. Blake paused just long enough for Ruby to run to her and grab her hand before altering their course slightly and heading towards the town.

"HO! Who goes there?" A voice called out as Blake came within sight of the town, noticing immediately the high wooden wall circling it and creating a defendable barrier.

"Ah, c'mon Jay, just a lady an' a kid!" Another voice scoffed as Blake looked up to see to an older man with salt and pepper hair looking over the wall with a lance on his back while a slightly younger man walked away. "Oi! Gates! Go great the newcomers!" The second voice yelled followed by a crashing sound that made Ruby jump and cling to Blake.

"It's alright," Blake reassured, her eyes looking around till she caught sight of a small door opening and a small young man stumbling out.

"Oh! Joy! I mean, hi! I'm new! I mean your new, I'm Gates. Gates Blue" The young man said, standing up and nervously chattering as he held out his hand. He had messy grey hair that stuck up in a few places, cheerful yet nervous brown eyes looking behind a pair of large wire framed glasses, and slightly large front teeth that made his smile seem a bit more friendly and open.

"Blake." Blake stated simply, one hand resting on Ruby's head to gently pet the girl's hair while the other slowly shook Gates hand.

"Right! Are you a Huntress? Does that mean you're here to clear out the nest? I mean, you've got a weapon so I'm only guessing. Who's the little girl? Is she yours?" Gates rambled, enthusiastically shaking Blake's hand as the Faunus felt her ears twitch under their bow. "Sorry, I just get really nervous whenever they send me out. Instincts, ya know?" He said, bowing his head and rubbing his neck as Blake looked him over again and realized from his scent that he was a Squirrel Faunus.

"It's fine. Yes, I'm a Huntress. As for Ruby, she's my partner's younger sister. We're here to get a few supplies before scouting the nest." Blake said, looking down at Ruby to see she had moved out from behind Blake to look up at Gates with her head cocked to the side.

"You old." Ruby finally said, making Blake want to slap herself as Gates seemed to freeze. "You got gray hair." Ruby said, standing on her tip toes to point up at the other man's hair.

"Actually it's because of my heritage. I'm a Faunus." Gates said, squatting down to look at Ruby and blinking in surprise when he saw her eyes. "And you're a little Warrior." Gates told her with a grin, reaching forward to gently tap Ruby's nose and make her smile.

"Right! Anyway, you can get your supplies at The Shop. I'll show you!" Gates said, jumping back up and smiling at Blake before leading her and Ruby over to the door. "We mostly do trade here, but with the festival and people coming back and forth the shops have been accepting Lien too. You should come to the festival! It's going to be in a few days and we'll have a few games set up around sunset for all the kids and then a big bonfire. This year the Copper family managed to get a few cases of fireworks so we'll have a show too. There's a dance, awesome food, and a few of the Scouts are gonna bring in some animals for the kids to play with." Gates told her as they entered the town and Blake saw all the people.

"Who are the Scouts?" Blake asked curiously as they walked around. The town was moderately sized. Blake could see a small school building near a park in the center of town, with a few rope swings scattered through a few trees growing around the building. Off to Blake's left, she could smell a bakery with the scent of fresh bread wafting through the air. Near it was a small butcher's shop, the sharp scent of copper pricking Blake's nose and telling her of the fresh meat inside. To Blake's right she could see a few homes, none of them standing more than two stories high and reminding Blake of the apartments at Beacon.

"Oh! There kind of like Hunters and Police combined but instead of being licensed to take down Grimm they tend to go out into the woods and hunt, help the outlying farms, and make sure the town stays safe." Gates told her as they walked, pointing up at a few people that were walking around the perimeter of the tall wooden wall. "Everyone here gets trained to be a Scout. The younger Scouts and the older villagers tend to act as lookouts though. In case the Grimm attack us or another village gets hit." He added and Blake noticed that most of people up there were either older men and women or young teens.

Gates led them further down the main road, greeting friendly people along the way and even stopping to point out a few places of interest to Blake. One being a small training area where a few men and even a couple women were teaching a group of children, the youngest looking around Weiss' age, how to handle weapons or do simple stretches.

"Has that happened before? The Grimm attacking?" Blake asked as they stopped to watch the various children play and practice.

"A few times, but we've managed to handle it. Oh! That's the training program Ms. Copper and her husband run." Gates said with a grin, looking over at Blake as she watched with interest as one child, a young Faunus girl about ten years old, launched an arrow into a target that stood maybe twenty feet from her. The shot wasn't perfect by any means, just barely making it into the outer most ring but it was there.

"I did it!" The girl yelled, the bow held tightly in her hand as she turned around and jumped into a small trio of kids, all cheering excitedly for her.

"The Faunus are accepted here." Blake said, keeping her voice level as she watched the girl dance around, her small blue wings waving and lifting her up into the air a bit. If Blake had to pick only one thing about the town as her favorite thing, it would be how accepted the Faunus were. Just watching the ten year old spinning in a circle and getting praise from the instructors made a small smile grace Blake's face.

"Oh yeah, everyone pretty equal here! I mean, if we weren't we'd probably have Grimm all over the place!" Gates laughed before raising his hand to wave at a few of the smaller kids, one of them jumping up to run over to them.

"Gates!" The boy yelled, jumping up to give Gates a hug that made the friendly Faunus stumble back a step. "Did you see Jay-bird?" The boy asked excitedly as Gates set him down and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah! It was tremendously stupendous!" Gates laughed and turned to look at Blake as the young boy, who looked around eight and was missing a front tooth, mouthed the words Gates had said.

"This is Evergreen; we call him Ever for short." Gates introduced happily and made Blake nod before looking down at the boy.

"Hello Ever," Blake said smiling when the child grinned up at her.

"EVER!" One of the instructors called, drawing the boy's attention back towards where he had come.

"Gotta go!" The boy said, waving as he ran back to his group and leaving Blake and Ruby with Gates.

"Sorry, I'll take you to The Shop." Gates told her, and turned to lead them away from the training field and towards the far wall where Blake could almost make out the shape of a much larger gate.

"I go play?" Ruby asked, tugging on Blake's hand when the woman moved to follow Gates. Blake paused, looking down at Ruby before letting her eyes look back up at the youngest children who were doing small laps instead of stretching.

"She can. Only if you're okay with it though. It might be a few minutes for you in The Shop and little kids have a habit of finding trouble. Ms. Copper can keep an eye on her! She's really nice." Gates said, having heard Ruby's question and turned to look at Blake. After mentally debating it for a minute Blake nodded her head and got a wide grin from Ruby as she began to bounce up and down. "Great! I'll go introduce you, then we'll go to The Shop!" Gates exclaimed happily as he began to lead them over to a middle aged woman with greying brown hair but sharp hazel eyes and a bit of weight on her.

"Mrs. Copper!" Gates called out, drawing the dumpy woman's attention to them as they approached.

"Gates! How many times must I tell you, just Silvia!" The surprisingly well muscled woman scolded in a motherly tone, turning to walk over to them after tapping another adult to pay attention to her group. "And who is this fine young Miss?" The woman greeted, dusting at her hands before holding one out for Blake to shake.

"Blake Belladonna, Huntress." Blake said as she shook the woman's hand not even flinching when she squeezed tightly and looked her over.

"Well, I assume you're here for those horrible Grimm. They almost got two of our scouts yesterday!" Silvia told her, getting a nod from Blake as she listened. "Oh! Where are my manners! I'm Silvia Copper, atrocious name I know! I help teach at the school and keep these little hoodlums out of trouble." The woman laughed, motioning to the group of six year old children that were watching them instead of doing any kind of running.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Copper." Blake nodded, feeling Ruby start to pull on her arm a bit, but not in a way that required Blake's attention since it wasn't a tugging kind of pull.

"Please, just Silvia! Mrs. Copper was my husband's mother!" Silvia said, waving her hand as if to brush the name away as Blake smiled a bit, feeling relaxed around the motherly woman, which was a surprise since Blake usually didn't feel like that around strangers.

"Mrs. Copper, do you think Blake could leave Ruby here while she gets a few supplies?" Gates asked, bringing attention to where Ruby was leaning on one foot to look around the group at the other children with big eyes while still holding onto Blake's hand.

"She's a bit small, but I see no reason why she can't join us for a bit. How old are you Ruby?" Silvia asked, bending down to be at eye level with Ruby as the little red head perked up at the sound of her name.

"Four!" Ruby said proudly, holding up three fingers while Silvia nodded, smiling when Ruby quickly lifted another finger with a grin.

"Well, would you like to come join us? I think the others are getting ready for a race." Silvia said and smiled when Ruby began to jump in excitement.

"Bake! I go? P'ease!" Ruby pleaded, pulling on Blake's hand as she made a show of tapping her chin in thought while Silvia stood up and Gates grinned.

"Can you promise to behave?" Blake asked, making Ruby nod her head vigorously.

"I pwomise." Ruby said seriously and held up her pinky to Blake. Blake nodded, before bending down to wrap her own around Ruby's.

"I shouldn't be long." Blake said as she stood up and let Ruby go, watching the little caped girl run towards the group of six year olds with a big smile. It honestly made Blake wonder why Ruby was so shy around others when she was older.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine." Silvia said but before Blake could walk off, she spoke again. "I apologize for asking, but do you know if Ruby is related to Summer? I understand she and her wife had children years ago and, well you see, Ruby resembles Raven's late wife Summer so greatly I was wondering if she was perhaps a grandchild?" Silvia asked making Blake freeze. If it weren't for Blake's skills from the White Fang she was positive her face would have given away her shock.

"I'm not sure. Do you know their full names?" Blake asked, keeping her voice level even as her mind raced with the new information and with the memory of the previous night when the strange woman had mentioned Summer as well. Obviously Summer visited often enough to be remembered, but why?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Their names were Raven and Summer Rose. I do wonder how Raven is doing, poor dear. She wasn't the same after Summer passed. I do see that brother of her's on occasion but he says Raven's vanished." Silvia told her as Blake felt the need to go rushing back to Yang and tell her what she now knew.

"I'll ask my partner. She may know something since I don't." Blake said, as she watched Silvia nod her head and take a deep breath. In all honesty, Yang would probably get mad at the information but Blake knew better than to keep it from her.

"Alright, I'll let you go on then. Gates you take good care of this young lady! And Miss Belladonna, I best see you and your partner here at the festival!" Silvia said with a smile before walking over to where the children had all gathered around two of the instructors to listen to them talk.

`…`…`…` Meanwhile with Yang `…`…`…`…`

"Ang, I cold." Weiss whimpered as Yang pulled the blanket closer around Weiss and stirred a small pot of soup.

About an hour or so after Blake had left with Ruby, Yang had gotten up, deciding to clean the cabin up a bit and put their things away until Weiss got up. She had only managed to clean the kitchen and part of the living room when the sound of retching had reached her ears. Rushing to the bedroom, Yang had found Weiss curled up in a ball with tears running down her face next to a small mess of vomit on the floor. It looked like Weiss had tried to get to the bathroom but had only managed to get off the bed before getting sick. Yang had easily cleaned the mess up, changing Weiss into a pair of soft pink shorts and a slightly baggy royal blue shirt, before wrapping the child in a blanket Yang had in her bag.

"I know," Yang said softly, trying to focus her Aura more towards Weiss in an attempt to keep her warm as the child continued to shiver and cling to her. Weiss was flushed from fever and, though she claimed to be cold, was still sweating heavily add in with her wheezy breathing and Yang was certain the child had either the flu or a harsh cold. After checking through the stored food, she was relieved to find a few cans of soups and had grabbed a can of chicken soup to fix. "Think you can drink something?" Yang asked as she poured a bit of the liquid into a small mug, deciding it would be best for Weiss to drink something before attempting to eat anything.

Weiss shook her head, burying her face into Yang's shoulder as the blond sighed and grabbed the mug. Hopefully she'd be able to get Weiss to drink it later.

"Bake?" Weiss asked weakly, turning her head to cough as Yang carried her to the living room and tried to set her down on the cleaned recliner. "No-ooo," Weiss hiccupped, clinging more tightly to Yang and shaking her head as the blond tried again to set her down. It seemed Weiss' clingy-ness when she was sick only grew since she was turned into a six year old. The child was absolutely miserable though so Yang couldn't blame her for wanting as much comfort as possible.

"Blake'll be right back. Her and Ruby went to go get drinks." Yang told the teary eyed heiress as she set the mug down on the windowsill and sat down in the recliner with Weiss in her arms. Weiss didn't respond, instead choosing to cuddle closer to Yang and place her head on the blonde's chest to listen to the steady heartbeat. "You sure you don't wanna try some?" Yang asked again, grabbing the warm mug and bringing it to Weiss' line of sight.

"Just a sip? Promise it'll help." Yang tried, hoping it'd work as Weiss sniffed and looked at the mug apprehensively before carefully reaching out for it. "That'a girl." Yang encouraged as she carefully tilted the warm liquid towards Weiss and let her take a few sips.

Yang put the mug back on the window sill once Weiss pushed it away, humming softly as Weiss laid on her, looking absolutely miserable. Yang gently ran her fingers through Weiss' hair, trying to keep her comfortable and hoping she'd go back to sleep if possible.

"Hot," Weiss whispered, pushing at the blanket around her in an attempt too free herself from it. Yang easily pulled the blanket loose, but kept it draped over Weiss' legs in case she got cold again and waited for Weiss to settle back down before returning to running her fingers through the snow white hair and humming softly. "Bake?" Weiss asked again, coughing after she spoke and making Yang wince in sympathy from the sound.

"She's probably on her way back now, Princess." Yang said and felt Weiss shift against her before her breathes become a bit deeper and her tiny body relax. Waiting a few more minutes, Yang slowly pulled herself free from the clingy child, wrapping the blanket around her before settling her down on the chair. When Weiss whimpered at the loss, Yang immediately ran to the bedroom and grabbed a pillow off the bed to tuck in next to Weiss. "Phew," Yang sighed as Weiss cuddled against the pillow and stayed asleep.

After making certain Weiss wouldn't wake up soon and that she was comfortable, meaning Yang went back to the room to grab her old bear for Weiss, Yang decided to quickly send a message to Blake telling her to get children's cough medicine and something for a fever. Hopefully the other would get it and hurry back. Quietly, Yang got up to clean the bedroom and check around the cabin to see if there was anything of interest.

"Can't believe we slept in this." Yang coughed as she pulled the heavy quilt off the bed and stirred up a bit of dust in the process. True the four of them had slept on top of the quilt and used their own blankets to curl up, but Yang was still trying to fight off the feeling of needing a shower right then. "This needs to be washed. Along with everything." Yang muttered, glaring at the bed and trying to figure out how she was going to wash the blanket and sheets in the bathtub.

Frustrated and knowing the tub wouldn't work, Yang decided to see if there was another place she had missed in the small cabin. Maybe there was a shed outside with a hidden washing machine or something?

"Yang?" A familiar voice called out as Yang gathered the blankets in her arms and exited the bedroom. "What are you doing?" Blake asked as Yang dropped the blankets back onto the floor to look over at Blake, who was also setting down something.

"Cleaning." Yang said before her eyes went over too Ruby and she jumped forward, tripping over the blankets in the process. "Ruby, no!" Yang hissed as she hit the floor with a loud thud that drew a harsh little cough from where Weiss had been sleeping.

"What's wrong with Weiss?" Blake asked, walking over to where Weiss was curled up on the recliner and trying to breath between coughs. Yang groaned into the floor, sounding very similar to a defeated animal, before climbing to her feet and rubbing her sore nose.

"She woke up and was sick, I managed to get her to drink a few sips of soup before she fell asleep." Yang told her as Ruby looked up at Blake in confusion as the raven haired woman lifted Weiss up into her arms and pressed her palm to Weiss' forehead.

"She's burning up!" Blake muttered and moved towards the bathroom to get a cool rag of some kind. Weiss whimpered at the movement, opening her eyes a bit to look up at Blake before wrapping her arms around the woman's neck. "The medicine's in the small front pocket." Blake said over her shoulder as she entered the bathroom and flicked on a light.

"Got it." Yang called out as she dug through said pocket and pulled out a few small vials of different colored liquids. "Rubes, you okay?" Yang asked, looking over at her dirty and confused little sister to her looking at the bottles with a touch of dread.

"Uh huh," Ruby nodded quickly, her silver eyes pulling away from the bottles to look up at Yang as she walked over to check Ruby for a fever as well.

"You sure?" Yang asked, wanting to make sure her little sis was indeed okay before taking Blake the medicine. Ruby nodded again, and lifted her arms to be lifted up, wrapping her own arms around Yang's neck when she was picked up.

"Rice sick?" Ruby asked as Yang gave Blake the medicine, frowning at the red faced heiress as she laid against Blake limply and just let the Faunus woman run a cool clothe repeatedly over her face and neck.

"Yeah, which means you shouldn't be near here right now." Yang said, quickly exiting the bathroom with Ruby, and looking around the living room for something to keep the four year old entertained. "We don't need two of you sick." Yang said as she Ruby yawned and laid her head down on Yang's shoulder. Yang didn't really notice as she picked up the blankets she had dropped and put them on the couch. Looking around, she noticed the forgotten mug of soup and walked over to grab it, she could heat it up later for Weiss if need be.

"Want to help me put up the stuff Blake brought back?" Yang asked as she put a lid on the soup and put the small pot in the fridge. "Ruby?" Yang questioned, turning her head to look at her sister and smiling at the sight of the sleeping child.

"Forgot it's past your nap time." Yang chuckled as she walked over to the couch and laid Ruby down, grabbing Ruby's large red cloak to use as a substitute blanket until she could clean the others.

"I managed to get her to take the cough medicine." Blake said as she walked into the living room with Weiss curled up in her arms. "It said we can give her more in six hours, but only if she needs it." Blake added, her eyes on one of the bottles in her hand as Yang nodded. The blond gave a slightly pained smile when Blake tried to lay Weiss back down on the recliner only to have the heiress cling to her more tightly and whimper against her.

"You stay here. I'm gonna figure out how to clean these." Yang said, lifting the blankets once again and looking towards the door, mentally debating whether it'd be okay to wash them in the ocean.

"There's a spring about a quarter mile from here, it's enclosed by the cliffs and fresh water. I found a bit of powder soap in the cabinet under the sink when I was making breakfast, use it." Blake told her, drawing a grateful smile from Yang as she went to the kitchen to find said item before heading towards the door.

"I'll be back. Love ya Kitty Cat." Yang chirped as she swung the door open, laughing at Blake's eye roll before closing the door and heading off to find said spring.
