Sorry for the late upload, I had a lot of family events happening and didn't have much time to write. I know, I know excuses I'm sorry, but anyways. Thank you, anonymous reviewer for suggesting to space out the dialog. I will try it out for this chapter and if I get no complaints about having it this way, then I will keep it that way from now on.

Weiss

Wiping the wet trails of salty water from her eyes Weiss looked at Ruby, smiling she asked

"Now what do you want to do Ruby? It is pretty late."

Grinning, Ruby responded, "Lets go right back to Professor Oobleks, and show him! Then he'll know that I can still be a huntress. And haaaaaaah" Ruby yawned widely.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth only to hit herself with her metal hand when attempting to do so.

Smack! "ow!" Ruby whined,

as she absent-mindedly rubbed her jaw, with her non-metallic hand.

"Looks like you don't really have full control over it yet, it will probably take some practice to get fully acquainted with it. Regardless, it sounds like you're tired and now that you mention it, yawn I am to." Weiss said, as she covered her mouth with one hand and brushed Rubys' red stinging jaw with the other.

"Yeah, I guess it's pretty late" Ruby admitted.

"Maybe we should get some sleep and talk to the professors tomorrow?" suggested Weiss.

"I'm sure you can at least figure out some basic motor functions by then." She teased.

Pouting, Ruby put her hands on her hips, only to completely miss her hip with her left hand. The motion started a comical looking spin, as Rubys' arm started to rotate on the elbow joint. Unable to get the spinning to stop, Ruby just tried to keep it out of the sight of Weiss as she attempted to continue her pout of feigned hurt.

This is so cute, and so funny at the same time. Weiss thought.

Weiss walked over to Ruby and pecked her on the lips, and as she did the spinning and any thought of feigned hurt left Rubys' face. Satisfied that she had calmed Ruby down Weiss said,

"Well, anyways lets head to bed ok? We really do need it after all of this." Weiss said.

"Fine, lets go." Ruby said

Hooking her right arm into Weiss' left, Ruby pulled Weiss along with her out of the workshop.

Well I guess since that now she has a chance at being a huntress again, she's back to her old self. Weiss thought.

Looking toward Ruby, the smiling redhead skipping and dragging along Weiss. She could see Ruby as the childlike, loveable dolt she was.

Wait, shouldn't we not be walking around like we are in a relationship? At least till we talk to our families.

Disengaging from Ruby, Weiss immediately switched back into a composed walk. Ruby glanced at Weiss rather sadly, and questioningly. Weiss merely shook her head to say not that she would explain later. Shrugging Ruby continued on toward the dorms with Weiss following closely behind her.

Arriving at the dorms, the White Rose duo were surprised and a little relieved in Weiss' case that Blake and Yang weren't there for some reason.

"I'll change first, don't worry I wont take too long since you still need your sleep for the demonstration you will need to put on to convince the Professors of your battle readiness."

Weiss said as she gathered her nightgown.

"Aw, do you really think they would make me do something like that to get back in?"

Ruby asked wavering between confidence and concern, as she remembered the spinning of her arm she had, had trouble controlling.

"I'm sure you'll be just fine Ruby."

With that Weiss went into the bathroom to change and get ready for bed.

After Ruby is finished I should talk to her about letting our parents know that we are in a relationship.

Weiss stopped what she was doing mid thought, there had been a knock at the door followed by a click then two voices, one loud and boisterous and the other quiet and calm. After a sharp intake of breath that she tried to keep as quiet as possible she continued her thought but on a different route than which she had been planning.

This is bad, never mind our parents, what about Yang? She wants me dead anyways they'll never find my body if she finds out about us being in a relationship.

Listening to the conversation for the first time since the two other members of team RWBY had entered the first thing she heard was Ruby stating proudly.

Yeah, you could say that Weiss and I are in a relationship now.

Whatever color there was in Weiss pale complexion drained.

Dolt! She thought.

Ruby

As Weiss went into the washroom Ruby smiled happily to herself.

I'm so glad that it's worked out with Weiss, I can't wait to talk to her about a first date, and, wait I should probably think about where to take her before asking. I should also ask why she let go of my arm like that, oh well I'm sure she had a good reason.

Then there was a knock on the door, guessing it was her other teammates she opened the door to see she had been proven right.

"RUBY! You're back! And okay! Why are you back? And where is Weiss?…" Yang shouted,

Wearing a grin of pure delight at seeing her younger sister well again and out of the hospital. This grin of happiness lasted up until Yang uttered the name of their snow themed team member. Her eyes flashing red briefly Yang started to search out the room for Weiss. Now the grin was slightly sick looking, almost like that of a predator, eagerly awaiting the kill.

"Yang, stop we have barely finished our date can't you wait to kill Rubys' Girlfriend for five minutes?" Blake said sounding slightly annoyed.

"Wait how did you know… WAIT WHAT? You guys are dating?! Why didn't you tell me?" Ruby said, astonished.

"Yeah, Blake and I are dating, what does that have to do with me finding that witch, and Blake she will never be Rubys' Girlfriend if I can help it." Yang said, venom seeping into the last statement.

Ignoring Yang, Ruby continued to question Blake. "So when did this happen? When we were in the hospital, or am I just blind?"

"Well" responded Blake. "It was, when you and Weiss were in the hospital. When Yang and I had to leave the hospital for, reasons. I ended up comforting Yang about everything then it kind of just happened, we kissed and started going out. Anyways, am I right? Are you and Weiss?"

Ruby started to blush; "Well" she started, seeming to pause to make a decision. "Yeah, you could say that Weiss and I are in a relationship now."

"No, you are not Ruby, under no circumstances will you date someone so disgustingly uptight, spoiled and plain dangerous! Not while I'm breathing, at least!" Yang growled.

During Yangs' short speech of denial she had finally reached the bathroom, observing that the light was on and the door closed, Yang quickly guessed that Weiss indeed was here and in that very washroom. Continuing to carry her evil looking smile, Yang said.

"Well even if you won't listen Ruby I will just make sure that Weiss knows what will happen if you two do anything."

With that Yang yanked open the bathroom door, and stepped aside as a startled Weiss came tumbling out, only to be grabbed by the throat by Yang. Yang lifted the heiress into the air, starting to strangle her with her own minimal weight. Weiss' eyes went wide as she failed to take in breath.

"So? What's going on here? Are you and Ruby going out like I heard? Or did I just hear wrong?" Yang said menacingly,

The purple of Yang's eyes were being replaced with red more and more every second. When she didn't get a response from the choking Weiss, she merely tightened her grip and squinted her eyes.

"What was that? I can't hear you?" Yang said menacingly.

Horror was spreading through Ruby,

Yang I love you, but what you're doing is horrible and not only that but you're hurting someone else I love so I have to stop this.

Ruby thrust her metal arm behind her back and sent what she hoped was the right instruction to its upper region. Thankfully with that thought her arm split between the middle and ring finger down to the elbow, revealing a slot and locking mechanism. Pushing Crescent Roses modified stock into the port, Ruby sent another pulse that made the two halves of her arm come together and lock Crescent Rose onto her metal arm.

Pulling her arm out from behind her back, Ruby sent another pulse to unfurl Crescent Roses' blade, which she placed to Yang throat.

"Let, Weiss, go." Ruby said, her voice unwavering.

When Yang didn't respond Ruby brought her Scythe closer to Yangs' neck,

"Yang I don't have full control over this thing yet, and I could accidentally kill you at any second. I really don't want to do that, so just stop ok?" Ruby pleaded.

Glancing down at the blade, Yang finally let Weiss collapse to the floor gasping, hacking and wheezing. Satisfied that Yang was possibly in a calmer state of mind now she lowered Crescent Rose and put it away, Glaring at Yang the whole time.

Ruby and Yang slowly traded places at Blakes' and Weiss' side, when Ruby reached Weiss, she quickly propped her head and upper body into her own lap and started to check her vitals. Blake held onto Yangs' shoulders as if to calm her and to hold her back at the same time. After a long moment, Ruby looked up seeming relieved.

"She's going to be fine." Ruby stated more to herself than to anyone else.

Blake nodded; glancing between all the members of team RWBY she finally fixed her gaze onto Rubys' metal arm.

"Ruby, where did you get that? And when?" Blake asked hoping to diffuse the situation.

Ruby looked away from Weiss to glance at her new arm,

Ruby replied, "Weiss and I built this so I could still be a huntress and do things normally. She helped me so much and she must feel so bad I can't even imagine. I'm trying to let her know it was an accident and that I forgive her but she's having such a hard time knowing that she hurt me, she hurt someone she loves and she can't take it back, or make it better. But you know what? She's trying; she is doing her best to make this better. You know she could have stopped you from choking her? She could have made a glyph to throw you away from her or something but she didn't! You know why? Because she still thinks that you punishing her is what she deserves. It isn't! So I'm not asking you Yang, I'm telling you, if you hurt her anymore, there will be consequences. So you better make this better and make up with her or you will have me to answer to."

Yang just gawked at Ruby, surprised by the strong protective will she radiated over Weiss. Yang realized she recognized it, she recognized it as the same one she put over Ruby, the protective will bound by love of another person. Yang thought back to what she had done to Weiss, and realized that it must have been eating Ruby up inside to see the person who needed to protect her beat and nearly kill on multiple occasions now the person who Ruby needed to protect most. As tears started to drip from Yang's eyes, she spoke.

"Ruby, I'm sorry I was wrong to do this to you and Weiss. It might be a good idea for me not to be here when Weiss wakes up so let her know I'm sorry and that I will try to fix this but for now I'll go." Yang said

"I'll go with Yang, let Weiss know I said hi." Blake added.

Nodding, Ruby watched them leave. Once they had, she picked Weiss up and carried her over to her bed, and after checking her vitals once more Ruby got herself ready for bed. Once she was done she made the decision to sleep with Weiss that night, It would probably be better for them both to have the company while they slept and the comfort when they awoke.

Ruby slipped under the covers and kissed Weiss once on the forehead. Weiss face relaxed at that, and seemed to slip into a more restful sleep. Cuddling up to Weiss, Ruby let herself fall asleep unwilling to think about the day they had, had and the day they would have tomorrow.

Again sorry for the late upload, if you thought this was confusing to read or anything then let me know, otherwise I will do my best to keep doing it in this format from now on.
