So, I got a question from a guest, and it was about where in the canon this took place. The simple answer is that this is completely separate from the canon, as Ruby never went to Beacon, Yang no longer want's to go to Beacon and is instead pursuing a different path, Blake hasn't left the White Fang just yet (it'll happen), and Weiss was never going to even try to get into Beacon. So Anon, hope that clears that up, enjoy the new chapter, and please give feedback on how to improve it. Also, at the time of posting I've got 10 Favorites and 20 Follows. Uhh, Wow. ~ PastryKing

It was Thursday afternoon and Ruby had finally gotten around to shopping for new clothes. She had been given a couple thousand lien for the sole purpose of getting a formal wardrobe that would be appropriate for interviews and upper class social events. She was also going to get a new combat skirt for the next day, as she had yet to actually make her own one that would fit with her new color scheme. She had also dyed her hair to be a slightly reddish strawberry blonde, think that she could keep it as some sort of red, but move into a lighter color range. She didn't have to worry about contacts as her eyes now had red flecks and a pinkish hue to their original silver. All vampires had some degree of red to their eyes, such as David's red ring around his pupils to Soyka's purple eyes. Just another side effect of vampirism. With a small 'sigh' Ruby moved on from her current store in search of the perfect dress.

Three hours later, Ruby found herself at the counter of an upper class dress store with her prize in hand. It was a black dress that hung down to just above her knees, with a small pattern of thorny vines in gold and red around the hem and sleeve cuffs. There was black lace covering the v-neck and, best of all, ruffles on the skirt. Altogether it was to her elegant and pretty. Perfect even.
"Are you sure you have the funds for this item miss?" was the cashiers hesitant question.
"Yep, fairly sure!" Ruby responded.
With a skeptical look the cashier rang the dress up, "That will be 355 Lien thank you."
Ruby happily handed her Lien card over and took her dress. With a large smile on her face she left the store and headed off down the street, deciding to take a shortcut to get to the armoring place she had in mind. She turned down her chosen alley and saw something that triggered he 'protector of the innocent' mode; a girl only slightly older than her had been back against a wall and was being manhandled by a man who was much larger than both of them.
Crescent Rose was absent at that moment as some of its more cosmetic alterations were still drying, but she still had her fists, and she had gotten better at using them while with David, so she merely charged with a cry of, "HEY!"
It got his attention, but even with the warning he could hardly do anything against Ruby's speed. Suddenly Ruby was in front of him, slamming a fist into his stomach, leaving him hunched and wheezing, which was quickly followed by a swift knee to the head, forcing him upright. After an unstable moment, he toppled backwards and lay unconscious, a nasty bruise on his forehead.
Ruby looked down at him, then slowly turned to the girl in white, before grinning and saying, "That was awesome!"
The girl, who apparently had white hair and skin only a shade darker than Ruby's, just stared at her before shouting at her.
"What were you thinking?! No, don't answer that, you obviously weren't thinking, rushing in like that!"
"Hey! I just saved you from having your wallet taken, or worse!"
"Excuse me?Are you saying I can't take care of myself? Do you know who I am?"
"Nope, don't really care either princess!" Ruby said with a huff before turning to the collapsed guy and searching him.
"Don't you dare turn your back on me you filthy street rat."
Ruby ignored her and finally found what she was looking for in his jacket pocket and liberated a sum of about 200 lien. She dropped the wallet back onto him and pulled out her scroll to leave an anonymous tip for the police about the attacker.
"Well, I'm outta here Ice Queen, hope I don't see you around here anytime soon, bye!"
With that, Ruby strolled off, leaving the girl behind and continuing on to her final stop. She didn't see the scowl that was sent her way or notice that the symbol on her jacket matched the one on her interview folder.

Some time later, Ruby stumbled through the doors of the apartment complex that was essentially a vampire sanctuary. David had bought it fifty odd years back and had slowly but surely turned it into one of the best buildings in the city. On the inside at least. On the outside it still looked like a run-down building, but that was merely a disguise for the building to ward off the majority of people. It was a 'Sanctuary' because of the fact that anyone staying in the Foxwood Apartment Complex was unofficialy under the protection of the third and forth eldest vampires around, with the top two having been slumbering for the past three hundred or so years. The reason Ruby had stumbled in was because of the many bags of clothes and fabric that she was carrying. She was juggling them to call the elevator when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Heya Rubles, got a lot there don't ya? Need some help?" They asked as she turned to face them.
"Oh, hi Soyka, yeah, I'd love some help right about now. Also, what's your opinion on the hair?" Ruby said back, passing off some of her baggage to the shorter girl.
Soyka was David's Biological daguter, who had been turned alongside him. She looked the same as when she had died, which is to say a blend of Mistral and Atlas features, but the one change she had made was the black hair that had recently been dyed from it's original pale blue. She also looked like a twelve year old, while she was actually about 500 and somethng.
She appeared to consider her response before saying, "makes me want to give you a little nibble."
This was, sadly, tame for her, as she had once pinned Ruby and 'threatened' to "eat her up until she said she was the best kisser ever. Of all time." the elevator sung and the pair stepped in, talking about everything and nothing. After a short ride they stepped out and walked to Ruby's apartment, dumping their load inside. With a quick set of goodbyes, Ruby got onto her nightly ritual, Feeding.
"Tomorrow is the big day Rubes, let's just hope it goes better than earlier today," shemuttered to herself, starting in on her 'soup'.
Better get some sleep, it's gonna be a long day tomorrow, then groaned as she saw a Yang-worthy pun in that thought. Little did she know that the next day would end up being a bit explosive, and more than slightly confusing.

IT HAPPENED! I finally got the chapter out! I'm truly sorry for taking so long, hopefuly it won't happen again. Anyway, I hope you stick around. And yes, the next chapter won't start of with a Yang, eh? eh? Tough crowd.
