Hello guys, First thing I wanted to say sorry for the delay, University and life kicked my legs from under me. There's many thing happening at once, and I was having troubles at how I would write this chapter. I'm not very happy with it but it's what I could get out.
I won't say when next chapter will be uploaded, because I myself don't know and am sorry for that.
Well, read and review. If you want to see something happening here, send me a PM and I'll see if I can fit it in.
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN RUBY
It was 2 hours before the meeting, and Ruby was talking with Wolfram about it.
"I decided not to keep quiet around her. She'll know what I am from the start."
"I think it's the best too. It will be easier for when you need to change forms."
"Yeah. Say, can I ask for something to be send to her new place later?"
"I don't see a problem. What you'll need?"
"Just my bike and my computer."
"Sure. Ah, and the meeting will be at the rose garden"
"I'll head there then and try to relax a bit. See you then." Ruby said and left Mr. Schnee office.
At the garden, she found a good spot under one of the trees to relax in the slightly cold day.
Weiss was sitting in front of her computer looking for a small house near the campus but couldn't find anything appealing.
"I knew I should have looked this sooner" She sighed and looked at the time. The meeting was only a 30 min away from now, so she stood and decided to head to the garden.
"Knowing my father, he will be there right on time, not a minute more or less."
She was walking slowly through the garden, appreciating the scent of the roses and when she reached the center of it, what she saw make her stop in her tracks and draw a sharp breath.
A big wolf was resting under a tree. She couldn't stop to stare at it. It was the first time she saw a creature as beautiful and with such silver eyes as that.
"Wait, silver eyes?" Weiss did a double take when she noticed the wolf staring back at her, ears twitching and tail moving slowly from side to side. She didn't know what to do, so she stood there, watching.
Ruby heard steps approaching and stopping a few feet away, but kept her eyes shut. But at the sound of someone drawing a sharp breath she opened the to see Weiss staring at her. Her ears started to twitch and her tail to move slowly.
A few minutes passed of them staring at each other.
"Welp, if she's not going to move, I will make the first move" Ruby thought and stood up slowly made her way to her, sitting in front of her and tilting her head sideways. "Let's see how she will react to my famous puppy-dog eyes" and so she put it on waiting for a reaction.
Weiss kept still when she saw the wolf getting up and walking up to her. She was a bit nervous but tried not to show it "What a wolf is doing here? How did it get here?"
Then it happened and she couldn't believe it. The wolf had the cutest puppy-dog eyes she had ever seen, and without thinking, she was on her knees petting it and couldn't suppress her smile when it let a sound of satisfaction.
"Good afternoon Weiss." Weiss jumped to her feet in surprise at her father's voice.
She cleared her throat "Hello father. I see it's already time. Where is that bodyguard you said you would introduce me?" She asked.
At the bodyguard mention, the wolf walked in front of her and lowed it's head in respect, and to Weiss surprise, it answered her.
"Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby Rose and the one who your father choose to be your bodyguard." Ruby said with a slightly raspy voice.
Weiss' eye widened at that "What?" She screeched.
"Please, don't do that" Ruby whined, covering her sensitive ears.
"Calm down Weiss. I considered what you wanted, and wouldn't it be easier to explain you having a wolf, or big dog?" Wolfram asked, while trying to calm Weiss down.
She pondered that "Well, that's true, but how will I explain a talking wolf, dog, or whatever?" Weiss crossed her arms.
"I won't talk when there are other people around. I know how to be professional and play the part" Ruby ruffed.
"I don't know…" Weiss was conflicted.
"Please Weiss, you said you wanted to live alone, and that was the best I could think of without pushing you too much." Wolfram said with a pleading look.
Weiss sighed and as she was opening her mouth to answer, Ruby beat her to it.
"Wolfram, would you mind if I talked to her for a bit?" She asked. He looked at Weiss and then at her and nodded.
"I'll wait at my office then." He started to walk back to the mansion. Weiss then sad down under the tree Ruby was earlier.
"So..?" Weiss said.
"You want to know why you father choose a being like me to be you bodyguard, am I right?" Ruby started and Weiss nodded.
"My mom was an active member of the security here before and your father trusted her. Sometimes, she still do some work for him. I did some work for him too and earned his trust in me. Even if he don't like to admit it." She said, with a chuckle.
"Well, that only tells me, that whatever he asks you about my life, you will tell him."
"There is where you're wrong. He trusts me, yes, but my loyalty is to you. He knows it and that's why he choose me, even knowing that if you don't want me to tell him something, I won't." Ruby answered with a serious tone. "I'm here because I want to, not because he ordered me or for the money. I can act the part you need; you just have to say the word. I will be here for you, and only you." Ruby stared deeply in her eyes for a bit then asked "Will you accept me as your bodyguard?"
Weiss looked at her with amusement and surprise "She's here for me? But why? Who is she?" She hold up a finger, indicating she was thinking when she noticed Ruby starting looking down crestfallen "Will she really not tell my father what I want to keep to myself? I can see the honesty of her words on her eyes" Weiss take a deep breath, then answer.
"I'll accept, but I will be watching. I want to be sure you're saying the truth." She nodded
Ruby let out a sigh and rested her head on Weiss lap, the girl automatically starting patting her.
"Thank you. Can we stay a bit longer here? The weather is nice" The only response she got was a scratch behind her ears and a hum.
