Yang sat on her own in the dark room. She had stopped crying about an hour ago, but she wasn't ready to leave yet. After her shouting match with Blake Yang ran off to find a place to be alone. She didn't care were it was as long as it was secluded. So she ended up in some random storage closet.

The words Blake said about her just being an experiment cut Yang deeper then anyone could imagine. Normally on the outside Yang was the care free girl that let nothing bother her, but when it came to Blake it was a different story. Now Yang had been in a lot of relationships, but Blake was the only one to make her actually feel happy. The only one she had ever really opened up to.

It hurt her to hear what Blake had really thought of their relationship. Yang's thoughts were interrupted by her phone vibrating. She had no interest in talking to any one, buy she knew it was probably Ruby. The last thing she wanted was for her to be worried. So she took out her phone.

She was surprised when she didn't recognize the number, but she opened it anyway. Immediately she wished she hadn't.

Please, I want to talk to you.
-Blake

Yang was torn. She wanted to talk to Blake, maybe they could fix things. At least be friends again. Then again after what just happen Yang wasn't sure that was possible. Anyway what could Blake say that would change anything.

Yang didn't reply. Instead she got up and began to make her way back to her room. When she got there she ignore Coco's questioning looks and went straight to her bed. Falling asleep almost instantly.

The next morning Yang woke up with a severe headache. She decided that today was not a day for classes. So she took her time getting up. Laying an extra hour in bed to try and smooth her headache. When it finally went down Yang got up and took a shower.

When she got out she went and laid back down in he bed. That's when sh heard her phone go off. Making the same assumption as yesterday that it was Ruby she looked at the message.

I'll wait for you in front of the dorms at three. I'll wait here everyday till you come.
-Blake

Yang wasn't sure what to think of the message. The first thing that ran through her head was corny it was. Like something right out of a movie or book. Then it set in. She didn't want to talk to Blake. She had nothing to say to her, and she didn't want to hear anything from the girl.

Almost slamming her phone back town Yang turned over on her side.

"She's wasting her time." Yang whispered before falling back asleep

Yang slowly opened her eyes again. Looking at the clock it said 3:45. She had slept for a long time. She checked her phone and say a message from Ruby. It said that the other half of the tournament would be starting at 3:15.

Yang shot out of her bed and sprinted out the door. Dammit she was already thirty minutes late.

When she got to the gym she threw open the door just in time to see Ruby get flipped onto the mat. She entered just in the middle of the match. Taking a seat she watched.

Ruby was back up on her feet now. She was breathing heavy. Clearly the match wasn't going as planned. Her opponent was a man named Lie Ren. The one Ruby say with the super hyperactive girl that one morning.

That morning he didn't seem like much of a fighter. It seemed he was barely able to keep up with that girl, but he was having no problem keeping up now. In fact it was just the opposite. Ruby was struggling to match him.

She had thrown almost everything at him just barely managing to touch him at all. The only thing she had left was to try a nerve strike. Not many people knew about them so it tended to catch them off guard.

Ruby moved forward preparing to send a strike at Ren arm. Only to be effectively stopped by a nerve strike of his own. With her main arm useless it didn't take much for Ren to send her to the mat again. This time he place his knee on her throat. Ruby had to do the one thing she hadn't in over three years. Admit defeat.

"And the winner is Lie Ren!" A man shouted as he stepped onto the mat. "We have are tournament champion everyone. Now let me announce the top five. First Lie Ren. Second Ruby Rose. Third Pyrrha Nikos. Fourth Fox Alistair. Fifth Sun Wukong. Congratulations to Ren and the runner ups." The man stepped off the mat and just like that the tournament was over.

Yang was stunned at the outcome. She had not once seen Ruby lose. It was a shocking reminder that there is always someone better then you out there.

Yang walked down to met her sister.

"Yang I didn't think you were here." Ruby said as she ran to give her a hug.

"You know I would be sis. Even if I was a little late." Yang returned Ruby's hug.

"So when did you come in?" Ruby asked.

"Just in time to see the half in of your match. Sorry sis I wasn't feeling good today. I slept for most of it."

"Don't worry about it Yang. I lost anyway." Ruby was unusually cheerful for someone that had just lost a tournament.

"You happy about that?"

"Well kinda. It means I have train even harder so one day I can kick Ren's butt." Ruby said excitedly.

"I look forward to it." A quiet voice said behind them. Making both Ruby and Yang jump. It was Ren. It gave a small nod before heading off.

"He seems polite and quiet." Yang said.

"Yeah but he's one heck of a martial artist that's for sure." Ruby's smile dropped. "Are you okay, Yang?"

Yang was taken by surprise. "Y-yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

Ruby just smiled at her sadly and gave her a light hug. She didn't want to bring up yesterday, but she really wanted to know if Yang was alright. By her answer she knew she wasn't.

"Yang, I'm not a little kid anymore. You don't have to act like nothings wrong for my sake. I can tell it's bothering you."

Yang was once again caught off guard. She was so use to being tough for her little sister growing up it became second nature. She did it so when they were little Ruby would feel safe. So when Ruby cried or was scared she could always she Yang strong. It was kind of disorienting to hear Ruby say that.

"She wants to talk to me, but I don't want to see her." Yang let out a shaky sigh. "I was just starting to get over the whole thing."

"You still like her right?"

Yang nodded slowly.

"Then let her talk. Let her try to fix what she messed up."

"What she messed up?" Yang asked.

"Yes. What she messed up. It was clear you loved her. It was also her who broke it off then went halfway across the country to avoid you. It was no fault of yours." Ruby gave Yang another light hug. "Now I've got somewhere to be so I'll talk to you later. Love you, Yang."

Ruby left in a hurry leaving Yang alone. She couldn't believe that was her little sister she just talked to. It felt like she was talking to Velvet. Ruby had grown up so much is was amazing. Sure she was still hyperactive, clumsy, and socially awkward, but she was much more observant then she use to be, and no where near as naive.

Yang let out a long sigh. She didn't want to talk to Blake. She really didn't, but something in her told her she should. It was the part that she never listened to. You know the part that tells you the reasonable and responsible thing to do. The way Yang saw it she had never listened to it to much before, so why start now.

Forgoing Ruby's advice and that part in her that said so. She ended up deciding to not talk to Blake. She had no interest in anything the girl had to say.


The next few weeks had been long. Between school work, the couple of parties she went to, and Velvet lecturing her about said parties it was some of the worse weeks she's had in awhile. What made it even worse was the fact that Yang couldn't get Blake out of her head.

She passed her in the hallways, in the mess hall, and even a few time saw her outside the dorms when one of her classes took kept her till after three. She didn't spare even a look at her all these times, but god did she want to.

Yang wanted to talk to her again. Wanted so desperately to be friends and hang out with the girl again. However, something kept holding her back. She knew what it was. The unreasonable side of her. The one that if she really thought about it couldn't think of a single real reason not to talk to Blake. She didn't want to think about it though. She was mad. Angry at Blake for what she did.

It was beginning to tear her apart and it was effecting her. Everyone could notice it. Ruby, Velvet, her roommate Coco, even the few people she talked to in classes could tell. A few of them tried to inquire about it, but they were quickly shot down.

Yang was on a walk of the campus grounds thinking about all this. These walks became a normal thing when ever she wasn't back in the dorms between three and four. She didn't want to have to walk past Blake.

She was almost at a breaking point. She really couldn't take much more. Thinking about Blake only lead to the bad memorizes. Of course there was a few. Like the time she tried to scare Blake with bumblebee. Of course Blake wasn't even slightly bothered as they tore down the road at ninety miles an hour swerving in and out of traffic.

Of course their first date too. In Yang's opinion it was a mess. She was so nervous. She stumbling over herself all night, and she was barely able to talk without messing up. Blake just smiled the whole time.

Yang began to feel tears come up at the memory. She knew now that she wasn't near the breaking point. She had just broke. Checking her phone she saw it was 3:30. Blake should still be in front of the dorms. Yang turned on her heel and almost ran off to the dorms.

When she got there she was right. Blake was sitting on a bench that was just left of the dorms. Yang approached her and took a seat on the bench as well.

"You wanted to talk. Talk." Yang had decided she wanted to talk to her, but she wasn't going to be the nicest about it.

"I... Didn't think you would ever..." Blake's voice trailed off when she saw Yang's face. "What I did was awful. It was stupid, immature, and completely unjustified. I was angry at you because I thought you were using me. I thought that I was just a phase for you. I can see now how wrong I was. When you said you loved me when we argued I felt like the biggest piece of shit ever. I know you're probably still angry at me. Hell I'm still angry at myself, but I want us to at least be friends again. I.. I really want use to try again. I know that's probably asking to much and I know you probably won't want to. Can we at least be friends, Yang." Blake had began to cry. Not a lot just a few tears.

Yang instinctively moved to wipe the tears away.

"Your right Blake I am still mad at you, but I am willing to be friends again." Yang sighed. "But before anything happens I need to know something."

"what?" Blake was nervous and eager.

"Did you ever really love me?" The question was bitter.

"Yes. Yes I did. I still do. I'm so sorry. I feel like such an asshole." More tears fell on Blake's lap as she lowered her head. She couldn't look at Yang anymore.

Yang gently turned Blake back to her and wipe wiped the tears away again.

"Then no more crying, and no more cussing. It doesn't suit you." Yang said tenderly.

"So we can be friends again?" Blake asked.

"Yeah we can." Yang smiled. It was to early to rekindle the relationship for her, but maybe when she has fully forgiven Blake. Blake response was a desperate hug. One Yang gladly returned.

The way Yang felt right now mad at Blake, but just so desperately wanting to love her, was just absolutely confusing.


So I know this was originally suppose to be a whiterose story, but come on I love bumblebee to much to leave it out. So from now on a couple chapters here and there will be focused on Yang and Blake. It will still mostly be about Weiss and Ruby though.

Another thing I want to mention is that My best friend is in the hospital and my grandmother is in bad condition and is getting worse by the day so updates will be even fewer and far between then normal.

Anyway Thank you all for reading and, I hope you enjoyed chapter six of Confusing times.
