AN: Holy crap...this is really late. We were having...technical difficulties...with several things...anyway...read review favortie...whatever...

Ruby awoke around lunch, her headache mostly gone. She still felt drowzee though. Slowly she sat up, a hand on her head to try and relax the pain away. She tried her hardest to remember the earlier night, but all she could remember was that woman, she mentioned something about her sister…

Dammit...I don't remember.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Slowly she got up and staggered down the hall, past the kitchen to swing open the door. "What'da want?" she asked, annoyed and groggy.

There stood their neighbor, Blake. "I came to check on you. You know Yang has a big match tonight. She asked me to make sure you were okay, and bring you over."

"Yang has a big match every night," Ruby lamented. Then she sighed and shrugged, knowing Blake wouldn't leave, not if its something Yang asked her to do. The crimsonette waved the raven haired girl in and sighed. "I assume she's at the gym?"

Blake nodded. "Yeah, she went on ahead. She'd really like it if you met her there."

Ruby grunted and crossed her arms. Blake sighed and spoke up.

"Ruby, that's not fair to your sister."

"Blake, you don't understand."

"Please Ruby."

The girl in red looked over at her old friend and sighed, admitting defeat. She shook her head, but still turned around and went to her room. She changed out of her wrinkled clothes and into a fresh pair of jeans and a red longsleeve shirt. Then she put on a black and red hoodie before stepping back out.

Blake smiled at the sudden change. She took Ruby's hand and led her out, making Ruby blush lightly. "I'm not a child," the crimsonette complained.

"Then don't act like one."

Ruby paused. She was right. Running away yesterday was childish and silly. She shouldn't have run away.

The girl in red sighed and followed her friend, stretching a little as she does. Blake looked back and smiled. Despite how much Ruby wishes it weren't true, she is a lot like her sister. Blake walks with Ruby in silence, there's no point taking her car since its a block away.

The two walked into Tuskson's gym together and inside they found Yang and Weiss in the ring together. Well...Weiss was on the ground, rubbing her jaw, and Yang was doing her victory dance.

"That was a nice hit Yang," the girl in white said softly, clearly the breath was knocked out of her.

Yang bounced around the ring, then looked over at Blake and Ruby. "Hey! I beat Weiss again." she called out.

Ruby looked around, disgusted by what she saw. She can't stand seeing Yang in the ring. She can't stand how it makes her. Suddenly she spun around and ran away. All three older girls called after her, and Blake and Weiss ran out the door, telling Yang to stay there.

Yang stood in shock her sister just ran out on her. She couldn't believe it. Ruby just ran out without any word.

"What...what did I do wrong?" she wonders.

The yellow haired boxer lets out a sigh. She turns around and goes to the punching bag, trusting her friends to find her sister. Its not that she didn't want to ditch ever and run after her sister, but the girls were right, she had to train.

"Got to get stronger…" Yang said as she punched the free hanging bag. She side stepped whenever the bag swung back, no one else holding the bag. With each punch, the bag swung more, coming at her with more force, which made Yang have to move faster. Then, suddenly, the bag stopped, having resistance behind it.

"Hey Weiss, did you find Ru-"

Yang stopped when she looked around the bag, what she found was not her white haired frienemy. It was a short girl with pink and brown hair. She peered around the bag too and smiled. She was wearing a pink shirt and brown skirt, both matching her hair. Her hands were wrapped, signifying to the yellow haired girl was was also a boxer, or at least training to be one.

"Hey, who are you?" Yang asked in confusion.

The pink haired girl just looked at Yang and smiled teasingly. She said nothing, and that annoyed Yang.

"Okay..what are you doing here?"

Again no answer.

"Okay...what can I do to get you to talk?"

The girl closed her eyes, clearly thinking about this answer. Then she smiled and nodded over at the ring. She walked over with a sway in her steps and picks up a pair of boxing gloves.

"Oh I see, if I beat you in a sparring match, you have to tell me your name. And if you win, I'll never ask again."

The pink haired girl nodded and climbed into the ring.

As soon as Yang stood into the ring she took on a fighting stance which she knew worked for her.

Her muscles tensed up, ready to go and take the girl on, yet she was quite calm, sure that this little cute thing wouldn't be able to cause serious damage.
"Bring it Pinky Pie~" Yang chuckled at her own joke, waiting for the girl to advance, which she of course didn't listen to, and that irritated the hot headed Yang to such an extent, that she stepped forward and aimed a punch at her rival "Take that you dwarf!"

To her surprise, the so called dwarf blocked the punch, closing it in between her two gloved fists, Yang pulled to get free, but it wouldn't work until The pink-haired girl let go, making Yang lose her balance for a short second, but it was enough for the shortie to land a quick, hard punch right into the big boxer's stomach, making her choke and gasp for air.

But she didn't get time to breathe because another rocket-fast punch rammed the oxygen right out of her lungs, making her look so helpless for a moment that her attacker stepped back.

She couldn't have regretted that more.

Yang immediately took the chance given to her and landed a powerful punching chain on the mystery girl's lower body, the sheer power making her fall and not stand for the count of ten, making it a K.O.

"Two more K.O's and you'll be T.K.O, dwarf, if you want to keep going, that is."

Yang's opponent shook her head, and Yang just smiled. The pink haired girl looked up at her as the yellow haired boxer stood in victory.

"Haha! I win!" Yang exclaimed. "Now you have to-"

The words suddenly caught in her throat. That sound...a single giggle coming from the girl below her.

"Fine...you win…" the voice of the pink haired girl getting up was sweet, beautiful, and so soft, the big girl, with her loud voice had to stop, just to listen. "My name is Neo...and you are very strong, Yang."

"I..uh...th-thanks." Yang began to blush and nervously rubbed the back of her head.

Neo again giggled and smiled as she got up and stretched out her back. Then the two hopped out of the ring and Neo took off her gloves.

Yang noticed she was turning to leave and called out. "Hey wait...would you come to the match tonight? Then you'll really see how strong I am."

Neo paused and looked back. "Yeah, I'll be there."

Ruby ran. She didn't know why, but she just ran. She ran out the back entrance and leaned on the heavy iron door that led to the alley.

"God...why...why does she have to do that…?" she mused to herself, not realizing she wasn't alone.

"Hello little red~"
