Ruby
"So, Yang? Why would you hurt Weiss, the girl I love?" Ruby asked vehemently. Yang stared at Ruby, mouth agape. "You… Love, Weiss?" Yang questioned. "but why? She has done nothing but hurt you, and ruin your life! How can you love someone like that?" she continued. "YOU DON'T GET TO KNOW HOW!" Ruby hoarsely screamed quickly following up with a quiet "and you still haven't answered my question yet." Sighing, Yang decided to explain to Ruby "Ruby, look at your left arm or what's left of it. It's because of her that you don't have one anymore. She has ruined your life! Do you think you'll be able to be a huntress anymore? Do you think you'll still have a normal life after this? Because you won't and this is no ones fault but Weiss'!" Yang finished, breathing heavily from her rant. Ruby glared at her "Maybe you're right that I can't be a huntress, maybe you're right that I won't even have a normal life anymore, but I. Don't. Care. All I do care about is whether or not Weiss is okay after you tried to kill her! Now shut up and get me a nurse to tell me where Weiss is." Ruby squinted her eyes at her sister and gave her a look, which would kill if it could. Sighing and resolving to argue about this with Ruby later when she wasn't hooked up to machines.
After Yang had retrieved a nurse, and the nurse had informed them that Weiss was now in her room resting, after the multiple surgeries she had endured. Ruby decided to get her bed moved to Weiss' room. "Move me to her room" Ruby said. "As long as you're ok giving up your single room." The nurse responded, "God knows enough patients want one." she mumbled. Nodding to herself, the nurse disconnected Ruby's bed from the wall and started to wheel her out. Still frowning at what was happening Yang jumped up from her position from leaning against the wall, and walked along with the nurse, followed closely by Blake who was not very pleased to be caught up in this crisis. Once they arrived at Weiss' room the nurse started to enter with Ruby but suddenly straightening muttered an "oh, yeah" and turned around. "Miss Xiao Long, I'm sorry to say that since you were the person who put Miss Schnee in this condition, you are not permitted to enter this room, also due to your questionable reputation at this point you are not allowed to be at this medical facility without another faculty member or student." She said. Turning to Blake, she said "That would be you Miss Belladonna, since the rest of your team is admitted to the hospital." Nodding solemnly Blake, took Yangs' hand and led the blond brawler away with red still taking up the majority of Yangs' eyes.
Ruby watched the exchange and noted how the nurse sighed with relief when the bumblebee duo had gone. Ruby was wheeled into the room and was horrified to see Weiss' body almost entirely covered in various types of bandages. As she was wheeled up to the side of Weiss she asked the nurse, "Is she okay?" "Yes, she suffered quite a few broken bones, including broken ribs, collarbone, cracked spine, and various burns all across her torso. Nothing permanent but it will take a while to heal." The nurse responded. Relaxing visibly Ruby lied back down and stared into the still beautiful face of the heiress, quickly drifting into sleep.
Weiss
"It's your fault. It's your fault. It's your fault!" the voice said. She was drifting aimlessly in a world of ice and darkness. The voice spoke again "It's your fault, you did this to me!" The voice was Rubys' she appeared in front of Weiss unfurling Crescent Rose. Readying to attack with her one remaining arm, Ruby said "You did this to me, and now you deserve to die for it!" Crescent Rose swung forward. Weiss could feel the burning pain of the blade sinking into her. Slicing closer and closer to her heart, but when the blade and icy coating of Weiss' heart met, something incredible happened. The ice cracked and split under the force of the blades swing but Weiss' heart pulsed and shattered the ice and pushed the deadly blade back. The blade was pushed all of the way out of her body and she felt warm, she realized that Ruby who had just tried to kill her was now hugging her, sharing her warmth with the heiress. Smiling she closed her eyes.
Opening her eyes, Weiss found herself in a bed looking up at a white ceiling, then the pain slammed into her, Wiess' body hurt so badly, but even as she thought that, she felt relief flood her body. Looking down she saw the needle in her arm connected to the IV drip. Along with the multiple bandages and casts all over her. With the thought of the bandages Weiss remembered all that had transpired. Tears coming to the corners of her eyes she hiccupped. Damn it! I can't go now, I have to stick around until I am healed enough to go on my own. I just hope that no one I know comes, or else this will be too hard to follow through with, and I will just hurt them more. A light snore came from Weiss' side; annoyed at having to share a room she whipped her head as fast as she could to the side the snore came from without hurting herself. To find Ruby, curled up in her hospital bed facing Weiss.
Inhaling sharply, Weiss felt multiple raging emotions pulse within her, regret, sadness, yearning, and hope. Why is Ruby here? This isn't her room; did she ask to come here? Does she not blame me for what happened? No that's ridiculous of course she will it's my fault anyway. Not knowing what to do Weiss simply closed her eyes and wished herself to sleep, her questions resonating unanswered through her mind.
Ruby
Ruby opened her eyes, feeling well rested. Looking towards Weiss, she could see a troubled look on her partners sleeping face. A quiet whimper escaped the heiress' lips. Making the decision to wake Weiss up from this obviously unpleasant dream she was having, Ruby rolled onto her left side, taking care not to put any weight on her stump she leaned her right arm towards Weiss taking the other girls shoulder, and Gently shook her awake.
"No, no, I'm sorry…" Weiss muttered as she awoke. "Shh, Weiss nothings wrong I'm right here. Focusing on Ruby, Weiss inhaled sharply, a look of panic taking its place on her. Weiss started to hyperventilate lightly not knowing what to do or say. "Weiss what's wrong? Are you ok? Should I call the doctor?" Ruby asked concern in her voice. "No, no Ruby I'm fine its just all of this is my fault, it's my fault about what happened to you and, your arm" Weiss silently said, tears rolling down her cheeks, eyes boring into Ruby seemingly begging for forgiveness from her. "Weiss, it's ok I don't blame you for anything. All I care about is you, and whether or not you're ok after what Yang did to you." Ruby responded, steel entering her voice. I will not allow Weiss to blame herself for this, no matter what I have to do. "But I deserved that! Everything Yang did was justified!" Weiss cried. "NO! What Yang did was wrong, when I saw what I saw I couldn't bring myself to believe what I was seeing. I couldn't possibly believe that my older sister would be beating the girl I love to death with no fight given in return!" Ruby shouted back. Her own tears coming up to the surface. "I would give anything to make sure you're ok, so please just, stay with me." Ruby finished. "Ruby, you don't mean that, you can't. How can you love someone who put you in here, took away your future as a huntress, taken away your chance at a normal life? How can you love someone who has done that to you?!" Weiss cried, her eyes so full of misery, Ruby could barely believe it. "Weiss, I love you so, so much. Nothing you could ever do could change that, definitely not something as small as this."
Ruby got up from her hospital bed. "Ruby what are you doing? You need to rest!" Weiss said, crying all the while. Steadying herself on her bed, Ruby leaned forward and kissed a stunned Weiss on the lips. After a few seconds she broke off from the kiss and looked lovingly at Weiss "I will always love you, I only hope you can love me too." She said. "Of course I love you, you dolt!" Weiss tried to throw her arms around Ruby to find she couldn't really move her arms due to the straps elevating them. Smiling sheepishly, the two girls looked at each other, tears in both of their eyes. "Promise me you won't leave?" Ruby asked. "I promise, as long as you let me do my best to make this up to you even though I never really will be able to." Weiss replied gesturing toward Rubys' stump. "Sure" Ruby said her smile lessening. "Now lets get some sleep, I'm sure we will need it, to heal up as quick as possible." Ruby said slowly getting back into bed. "Goodnight Ruby, I love you." Weiss said. "Goodnight Weiss, I love you too." Ruby lovingly said back. Grinning she fell asleep, ecstatic that even at the cost of all that had happened her and Weiss could love each other.
After a week of resting, talking and stealing quick kisses secretly Ruby and Weiss were ready to be released from the infirmary under strict conditions of plenty of bed rest and absolutely no physical exertion other than attending the odd class.
They walked into their dorm, both happy that Yang and Blake were in a class at that moment. Sighing with happiness, Ruby sank into her bed. "Ahh, it's so nice to be back in our beds." Ruby said. Grinning at her partners' visible relief to be out of the hospital beds Weiss almost felt bad to let Ruby in on what they should be doing. "Ruby it would be nice to appreciate our beds right now, but we need to go talk to our professors and get all the work we missed." Weiss said. Looking crestfallen Ruby glumly got up from bed. "Okay, lets get this over with." Ruby responded. Weiss chuckled, "Come on lets go." She said, taking Rubys' remaining hand in her own, and walked out of the dorm room towards the first of many professors and piles of work.
As they got to the first of their classes Weiss and Ruby disengaged from one another and walked in. "Miss Rose! Miss Schnee! I'm glad that you're back. I have your work here ready to be picked up" Professor Ooblek yelled zipping up to them with their assignments one at a time, roughly half a foot of papers each. First to Weiss who lightly grunted under the surprising weight of the papers. Then to Ruby, who held out her one hand, bracing herself for the apparent weight. Professor Ooblek paused, and glanced at the left sleeve of rubys' shirt, pinned to her sighed obviously empty. Sighing he put down the work, and with a tired look on his face looked Ruby in the eyes as he said, "Miss Rose I am sorry to inform you that due to the nature of your injury you can no longer be a huntress in this academy, I'm sorry for having to tell you this but, we will arrange for your travel to the location of your choice."
