Chapter - VI - Surprise!
Five days have past since Ruby left the hospital. The girls are staying at Weiss's house, and since Weiss owns the SDC she has a big enough house to hold team RWBY, team JNPR, and team SSSN all comfortably, and of course Pyrrha and Jaunes daughter Juvia. Yang and Blake are in Yangs room doing their thing because Blake sleeps over with Yang just about every night. They think it's a secret but everyone knows. Weiss is making her monthly trip to SDC to make sure everything is going well. Jaune practicing out back trying to get stronger as always. Pyrrha is out getting groceries for the group with her daughter Juvia. Ruby is standing out by the lake staring out in the middle of the water. She keeps wondering why this Rein person was looking for her, why did he have a Grimm mask, and why did his aura go into Ruby, and what is really bugging her is that voice she heard right before she passed out. What did the voice mean by "This is just the beginning?" and who was it?
"Hey guys im back." Weiss yelled out. "Hey Weiss how was your trip to SDC?" Nora asked. "Same old same old I guess, hey do you know where Ruby is?" Weiss asked. "I think I saw her out by the lake." Nora replied. "Thanks, I'll be back later so don't wait up." Weiss said as she left out the back door headed to the lake. Weiss stumbles into Jaune on the way there, she looked like she didn't notice. Umph! "Oh sorry about that Weiss, I guess my head isn't quit there today." Jaune said. "I guess that makes two of us...sorry but I have to go." Weiss said and she ran off towards the lake. Jaune walks through the door. "Is Weiss ok?" Jaune asked. "I hope so, she hasn't been herself since Ruby got back. I can't help but wonder what would happen if she left again." Yang said walking out of her room in nothing but a t-shirt and black short shorts. "Hey I didn't know you had shorts like Blakes." Nora said with a grin. Yang looks down and blushes. "Oh ya these old things, I forgot I had these he-he." She said trying her best to lie. They all stare at Yang trying their best to make it look like they believe her.
As Weiss is running towers the lake she start huffing and puffing. Not the sounds of her being out of breath but the sounds of her sadness taking over. As she is running the only thing going through her head is if she is still here. Did she leave her again? Is she alright? She runs faster and faster until she feels like she is running on air. She stops, a gust of light wind comes up. Staring at Ruby, laying down on her back with her with her hands behind her back. "She's all alone?" She said. She walks up to her and kneels down in front of her head. "Oh hey Weiss, how are you?" Ruby said with a cute smile. Weiss just stares into her eyes. "Weiss what's wrong? You look sad." Ruby said with a sad look now. Weiss's eyes start to tear up still looking into Ruby's eyes. Her tears land on Ruby's face. "Awe Weiss what is wrong? Don't cry I'm right here don't be sad." Ruby said as she turns around and faces Weiss. She takes Weiss's hands and holds them firmly. "Don't go *sniffle*, you promised you wouldn't go. I can't lose you *sniffle*" Weiss said crying and looking at Ruby. "Why are you crying? I'm right here and I'm never leaving again. I am fine, great now that you're here with me." Ruby said as she hugs Weiss passionately to show her she is comfortable with this. "Let me show you something, something I only trust you to know about. At least until I'm ready to show everyone else." Ruby said as she gets up and helps Weiss onto her feet. "Um alright, where are we going?" Weiss asked. "It's a surprise, come on." Ruby said as she started running to the Beacon Academy dorms.
A few minutes pass by and the girls arrive at the dorms. Weiss looks around and seems to remember this place, it's where team RWBY stayed during their years at the academy. "Wait are we going to meet someone?" Weiss asked with a confusing look on her face. "Just wait and see Weiss." Ruby said with a big smile on her face. They walk all the way up to their old room and up to the door. Ruby reaches for the door knob but suddenly stops. "Weiss before I open this door I need to know something. That no matter what you see in here you won't be mad or judge or yell or anything? Oh and you have to promise not to say anything to anyone, at least until I decide to tell everyone else." Ruby asked with a worried look on her face. "I promise you Ruby Rose I will not judge, yell, hate you, ignore you, or tell anyone without your permission!" Weiss said with a comforting tone. "Thank you Weiss, this means allot." Ruby said with a huge smile on her face. Weiss looked at Ruby and suddenly had a warm feeling. Was it from being with Ruby in this particular place? Was it how she made Ruby get the biggest smile she had ever seen before? "Alright here we go." Ruby said as she reached for the door knob again. She grabs the handle and turns it, the door flies open before she could even push it open. "RUBY! You're back! I missed you!" A strange voice coming from inside the room. "Weiss this is Taiyang, my son."
