Chapter 8:

Ruby coughed up more blood. She was loosing way too much. "It's too much, why wont it stop?" Weiss whimpered. She stared in shock; Ruby lay on the ground, with a gigantic hole in her stomach. Weiss had yet to look at the damage to her leaders abdomen, for fear of what she would see. Yet Weiss knew she had to look, how could she help other wise? Not that Ruby was within the bounds of saving just at the moment, it was improbable. Weiss looked. She choked, gagged. Desperately trying to swallow back vile she forced herself to look harder. Being impaled had caused the injury, which came from a Grim.

The Grim's tusk had entered very rapidly and powerfully; the force shoving all Ruby's important organs against her ribs, sides, and spine. Although a thin layer of blood coated the organs, Weiss could still tell the organs were bruised badly. All of Ruby's internal organs would suffer for a very long while, providing she lived through this. Weiss mentally prepared herself for the task ahead. Weiss had to save Ruby, no matter what. Weiss's newly realized love for Ruby wouldn't allow Weiss to not save her. While the mental preparation went through her head, mainly replaying the last short months in her head from when she met Ruby, Weiss took out a medical kit. While preparing a few needles and several lengths of medical string, Weiss continued to think about Ruby.

The last few months since truly meeting eyes with Ruby, love had developed almost instantaneously. It had sprung up quietly the moment Weiss first met Ruby. Weiss laid out a flat sterilized piece of metal for an operating board. Thinking back she remembered all the things about Ruby that made her fall deeply in love. Her attitude, smile, face, hair, recent fighting style, and of course her body all amplified the infatuation to unhealthy levels. Weiss only recently began to look at Ruby's body differently. After seeing Ruby naked when she fought the Black Panther only a few days ago, Weiss started to notice things she hadn't noticed before.

With the medical supplies and her mind ready, Weiss began. First she had to move the organs back into place. But before that she took three white T-shirts out of her bag, folding and bundling them together, she put them under Ruby where the tusk had come out her back. Weiss then reached in with her bare fingers and adjusted Ruby's spine, for it'd been pushed aside by the tusk coming out Ruby's back. When Weiss did this she coated her fingers with Aura. She then started to re arrange Ruby's organs, gingerly lifting and placing them back where they belonged. Weiss was extremely grateful that she had studied inside anatomy, and the most conveniently the placement of the organs.

After ten minutes and when the organs were all back where they belonged, Ruby started to breath again. Granted it was very slow, shallow, and shaky but at least she was breathing. Weiss didn't let this slow her work, Ruby's slow breathing slowly started to slow down. Reaching back Weiss took out some healing dust from the med kit.

The healing dust had become standard in med kits ever since its discovery. Dust was a mineral that when mined and processed correctly would have magical properties. There were all types of dust that could be collected. Perhaps one of the largest dust manufactures was the Schnee dust corporation. The process in which they collected the crystals, and how they processed the crystals into a usable form of dust was a company secret. Suffice it to say about dust, when used it was used just the right way it could do almost anything. Engineers often, for high important defense systems, had metal augmented with it. This hardened the metal a lot, providing extra defense when needed. The dust could be used in a variety of offensive methods as well. To name a few of them there would be creating lightning, fire, ice shards, flying rocks, and pulverizing winds.

The dust that Weiss was using to heal Ruby's wounds could heal anything. However in this case it didn't seem to be working. The wound seamed to be tainted with a very small amount of the Darkness Plague. This proved to be a deterrent to the magical healing dust. The parts that the tip of the Grim's tusk had touched, were the parts that were tainted. When the dust was applied Ruby screamed. "Ow…that hurt." Ruby said in an extremely weak voice. "Weiss…I…I need to tell you something."

"Shh…shh don't speak, save your strength. Please Ruby I need you to save your strength." Weiss said in a tender voice, interlaced with restrained lust. "I love you Ruby. Don't you dare die on me."

Ruby's widened, "Oh god, Weiss…Weiss…Weiss…Weiss…I wanted this for a long time." Ruby said, her voice slightly less shaky. "It was the only thing I was hoping for, nothing did I want more. Oh god…oh god…I'm sorry Weiss." With a small sob Ruby raised a hand.

Taking it Weiss slipped her hand into Ruby's hand intertwining them. Leaning over Ruby Weiss asked, "Ruby do you love me to?"

"Yes of course I do. I seemed to have a crush on you when our eyes first meet. Now of course it is much more than that. It's turned into an infatuation." Ruby answered her voice growing distant as she confessed her feelings.

Weiss slowly, as to not hurt her, kissed Ruby. The kiss was light. Pulling away Weiss said, "Don't die. Let me patch you up." Concentrating on the task Weiss took the needles and thread. She then stitched up the opening of the wound. Weiss then took some healing dust and began rubbing it into the seam of the wound. The healing properties slowly seeped into the wound, along with Weiss's seemingly endless aura.

Ruby's eyes would have widened if it didn't bring on a headache. Ruby couldn't think of how Weiss was channeling that much aura into her. After only ten minutes the stream of ecstasy caused by the aura healing suddenly sopped. Ruby shot up grabbing Weiss's shoulders. The action was too much for Ruby's abused body to handle. However Weiss caught her in an embrace. Weiss stroked Ruby's back, desperately wanting too feel her, wanting to know if she was truly okay or not. Weiss's fingers lingered on the open scar. Quickly taking back the needle Weiss stitched it up, taking care to use her aura as aid. After patting a small handful of healing dust of the now stitched up wound, Weiss went back to stroking Ruby's back. Her fingers traced the muscle, outlining every detail. Weiss wanted to commit it to memory. In order to do the operation Weiss had to remove Ruby's clothes covering her torso.

"Hey Weiss…are you forgetting something?" Ruby said her breathing deeper than before.

"No. I have all I've ever wanted and will ever need right here." Weiss said.

"But they're standing behind you." Ruby said. Behind them stood Blake and Yang their mouths hanging open, blatant shock written all over their faces.

However Weiss decided to ignore this. Weiss lay Ruby back down on the forest floor, kissing her neck. Ruby sighed with contentment and then lost track of the time. Weiss lay on Ruby, their bodies pressed together. Ruby's arms snaked around Weiss's shoulders, she shifted on hand to slide through Weiss's hair. Ruby clinched a fistful of white hair, pulling Weiss's lips tighter against hers. With the added pressure the kissing began to deepen, then it got frantic, hungry, animal in its brutality. Weiss's hands slid over Ruby's body in wonder. Such subtle softness mixed in with lean muscles. The perfect combination. The skin on skin contact Weiss's hands made with Ruby's bare skin was lustrous. Ruby moaned against Weiss's lips trying to pull her tighter. Ruby's moan deepened significantly when Weiss's tongue shot out and scraped along the inside or Ruby's mouth. The intimate contact sent lightning bolts of pleasure and desire through Ruby.

This sexual interlude between the new lovers was brief. An ear shattering scream rent the air. Another Grim. "Aw…Damnit. I so wanted to continue." Ruby said. Pulling Weiss's Shirt off and putting it on her own body, Ruby stood up drew and unsheathed Crescent Rose. Both Blake and Yang were at her side ready to fight alongside their leader. "Stay back. I've had enough of the damned creatures. I'll send them all to hell." Ruby said with finality.

Out of the wood came a dozen Beowulfs. Super Grims, actual Beowulfs looking super Grims. Snarling they charged Ruby. Swinging her scythe in combination with aura shots Ruby dispatched two of them fairly quickly.

At the end of the very brief fight Ruby turned around. Weiss was standing there conveniently without a shirt on. Sheathing her weapon, Ruby held Weiss in a lovers embrace, staring down into her face. After what seemed like a long time, the two kissed. So passionately in fact they lost track of time for a few brief seconds, not wanting to forget even a moment of the monumental change in their lives.

Blake and Yang stood behind the now aptly named Whiterose couple. "Finally…" They muttered to themselves.
