Chapter 4
Previously: Weiss and Blake went to Vale to stop Torchwick from stealing from a Schnee company warehouse. During their time in Vale, they grew closer, learning each others secrets, such as their love interests being their fellow teammates: Ruby and Yang, who have reunited with Weiss and Blake at a time where they must take down Torchwick and the White Fang.
Ruby and Yang had showed up at the warehouse were Weiss and Blake were. They had seen that Torchwick's henchmen and the White Fang are engaging in battle the guards and Weiss and Blake. Luckily they were able to help them out, but now they must end this before things go wrong. They saw a few guards fighting against three members of the White Fang, who have taken refuge in the weapons room and trying to acquire as many weapons as they can for Torchwick. With the guards focused the three members that prove to be a challenge, the henchmen try to flank the guards, but catch the attention of team RWBY. Torchwick's chopper prepares to land and four more members of the White Fang emerge from the chopper making their way to join the fight. Team RWBY decides to work on their battle strategy.
"What's the plan Ruby?" Yang said.
"Here's what will do: Yang take the henchmen going for the guards. Weiss and Blake, you go in the building to fight assist the guards while I try to make sure no one goes near them. Let's go. Banzai!" Ruby said
"Banzai!" The other three shouted.
Yang charged at five of the henchmen attempting to flank the set of guards. Using her gauntlets, she manged to literally push them back. Ruby joined the group of guards, trying to protect them from five more of the henchmen charging with their red swords. With the help of Crescent Rose, she swiped them out of the way and tried to keep them away. Weiss and Blake ran into the weapons room and faced off against the White Fang. Weiss used her runes to make her leap back and forth in the room, serving as a distraction to where Blake would take them out while they were focused on Weiss. Two of the three were easily taken down by Blake, but the third one however, ran out with a crate of weapons. They began to pursue him. They new he was headed for Torchwick's chopper and they needed to get to him as well. They overheard him talk on his radio.
"Five of us our down, I obtained one crate and heading to extraction right now." Said the White Fang member.
"We're sending additional troops to your area." Torchwick said.
Weiss and Blake ready themselves knowing they will run into the other members. Yang began to finish up against the henchmen, but two them were left standing. One of them charged at Yang, attempting to attack her head on, but failed. The second snuk up from behind and grabbed her. She try to break free, using her gauntlets to push herself away, and separated herself from the henchmen. However Yang felt uneasy and turned around, hoping it wasn't was she thought it was. Unfortunately, it was was she was afraid of. She saw a strand of her hair in the hand of the henchman that tried to hold on to her. Because of that, she went Super Saiyan on the guy and nearly killed him. Almost feeling bloodthirsty, she charged toward Ruby to fight against the henchmen Ruby was dealing with. She took out most of the henchmen whileRuby finished off the remainder of them.
"Listen up! You guys need to get to safety now! We'll take care of the rest!" Shouted Yang, speaking to the guards, who fled after being scared of Yang. She managed to calm down and Ruby didn't want to bother with checking if she was ok now, because she knew Yang would recover either way.
"Let's just go help Weiss and Blake." Ruby said as they did go to them.
Weiss and Blake chased the member to the chopper and ran into the other White Fang members. Blake first shot at the target's feet causing him to fall and drop the crate while Weiss cleared a path for them to get to Torchwick, who was spectating from the chopper.
"You again!?" Torchwick shouted, recognizing Blake.
"Looks like it!" Blake said wanting to charge at him, but Weiss did so anyway. "Weiss wait!" But Weiss did not hear her. Weiss tried to hit Torchwick with her blade, but he had blocked it with his cane.
"Ahhh... So you must be the Schnee Heiress." He said as he observed Weiss.
"I bringing you in." Weiss said.
"I highly doubt that." Torchwick said as he pushed her out of the way, attempting to take off. While the chopper was quickly reaching altitude Yang and Ruby leap into action.
"Blake, help us shoot down the chopper!" Ruby said, readying her rifle while Yang began to use her gauntlets.
Blake started shooting the back of the chopper while Ruby shot the front end. The chopper was about to be unstable and Torchwick leaped out before the chopper hit the ground. Two of the White Fang members regained their strength and helped Torchwick escape.
"Damn those girls. What the hell are they teaching them?" Torchwick said. "Listen up, our ride is down, moving to secondary extraction."
"Understood. Where heading there now. Stand by." One of the pilots of the other choppers said. Torchwick and the other two make their way to the secondary extraction.
Weiss began to pursue him. "Come on." She said. They follow and the four of them catch up to Torchwick. Using her runes, Weiss leaps towards Torchwick. He managed to fight defensively, until Weiss was a few feet away from him, he used his cane/gun to shoot at her. She avoided the blast and Ruby stepped in to fight next.
"Well now. We got to stop meeting like this, Red." Torchwick said.
"I got a name you know." Ruby said.
Ruby began to strike Torchwick, but he evaded majority of her attacks, while using his cane to block the remainder of her attacks and firing his cane/gun and certain points when he found an opening. Ruby managed to avoid being shot at, and Weiss decided to activate her ice dust from her sword. She attempted to freeze Torchwick, but he was one step ahead and dodged her attack. Now it became two against one. As for Yang and Blake, they both were fighting against the two White Fang members, who pretty much went all out on them. The dodged nearly all of their attacks and were very strong offensive and defensive.
"I got an idea." Blake said. "Yang strike from above."
"No problem." Yang said as she began to leap ten feet in the air and ready to use her gauntlets and struck the ground creating a burst of inferno. The White Fang members defended them selves from the blast, backing up, creating an opening for Blake to strike from behind and in front. The two members were once again KO'd, and they needed to go help Weiss and Ruby. Torchwick, still in the middle of his two against one battle, saw his chopper begin to land where the secondary extraction would be. He saw that some of his henchmen that regained consciousness ran back to the chopper with the supply of dust they stole. Torchwick decided to stop here for now.
"Well it's been fun, but now I must off." He said.
"I'm not letting you get away!." Weiss as he stuck Torchwick with her blade, but was blocked by his cane.
"Persistent are we? Well maybe next time Miss Schnee." He said as he revealed to have a dust smoke bomb in his hand and threw it on the ground, creating a layer of thick black smoke that seemed impossible to see through. Ruby and Weiss were trying not to inhale the smoke while Yang and Blake finally made it to the scene, but could not see anything, not even Ruby or Weiss. As the smoke thinned out, they saw that Torchwick had made it to his chopper and had yet again escaped. Weiss was frustrated, but decided that there will be another day to apprehend Torchwick and bring justice to him. The guards arrive on the scene with police that arrive moments ago, taking the KO'd henchmen and White Fang members into custody. The manager had arrived minutes later and tried to get a status report. Weiss wanted to know how much damage was taken.
"Well Miss Schnee, they took a large amount of the dust supply that had arrived this morning. But as for the weapons, none of it was taken. You are lucky that you are still here." The manager said.
"I would say my training has really paid off. But I would like to talk to you about disbanding these weapons." Weiss said.
"Disbanding? But what about your father?"
"Don't worry I'll talk to him. But as of now, get rid of them at once."
"I understand. Consider it done."
Weiss felt proud that she was able to make orders of having the weapons disbanded from the warehouse, but needs to talk to her father about not manufacturing anymore. Otherwise, they would have more trouble. But as of now, the only thing that matters is going home to Beacon. Blake privately talked to Weiss after her conversation with the manager.
"How are you feeling?" Blake said.
"Well, I managed to get things situated. But I still need to talk to my father. Hopefully, my actions here will prove that I can be helpful." Weiss said.
"You are helpful. We may not have Torchwick, but now you've proven yourself enough."
"Yeah I guess your right." A moment of silence took place. "Hey Blake." Weiss said.
"Yes?"
"Thank you for everything. I'm glad you were able to help me out with all this." Weiss said smiling, making Blake smile in return.
"Thank you Weiss. Well now, we got to face punishment from Ruby."
"Wait, what?" Weiss said, who totally forgot about how Ruby and Yang felt about them leaving without talking to them first.
After finishing up at the warehouse, and going back to the hotel to get their things, they all head back to the station to wait for the next train. It was after midnight and the next train would take a few minutes, which was a perfect time to let Ruby give them a lecture.
"Now listen up! Next time there is a personal problem, we need to consult each other as a team. No more running off to take care of business by yourselves!." Ruby said to Weiss and Blake who were somewhat afraid of Ruby now. Weiss was starting to know how Ruby felt at times when Weiss scolded her at times when Ruby acted so childish and made things complicated for everyone.
"Well, now you two should know since we arrived on time when you needed us the most." Yang said, trying to be the 'good' one to Weiss and Blake.
"We're sorry." Blake and Weiss said.
"Now you guys are going to pay for tickets. I already had to pay for them myself." Ruby said looking at Yang since she didn't help Ruby pay for the tickets when they left.
"I said I'd pay you back." Yang said, starting to be afraid of her little sister.
Weiss and Blake go to the ticket booth and paid for the tickets. The train arrived and Weiss and Blake began to talk about their next plan.
"Weiss. We should take this opportunity now to talk to Ruby and Yang individually." Blake said, feeling excited, but tried to hold back her expressions.
"Yeah, but..." Weiss said.
"What?"
"Ruby is already mad at us."
"Are you scared?"
"Kind of. But somehow, I actually liked how she was toward us. Is that kind of weird?"
"I think it's normal."
"Ok then, when we get on the train we'll start."
Team RWBY got on the train and Weiss and Blake were building up the courage they needed to talk to Yang and Ruby. They were going to go with their plan to let the two know of their feelings. Weiss needed to talk to Yang to let her know that Blake loves her, while Blake talks to Ruby to let her know that Weiss loves her. The only problem now is how Ruby is mad at Blake and Weiss. Yang would be easy to talk to, which made Weiss think that mentioning Blake's love for Yang would probably get through to her in a heartbeat. But now with Ruby upset, it would be difficult for Blake to talk to her and maybe effect Weiss because Ruby was already mad as it is. As they sat down in their seats, grouped together where Weiss and Blake were sitting across from each other and Yang and Ruby were also sitting across from each other, they were really quite. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Weiss had decided to break the silence and move on with the plan.
"Hey, uhh... Yang?" Weiss said.
"Hm?" Yang said.
"Can I talk to you for a moment, privately?"
Yang looked at Ruby who was gazing out the window, trying to stay awake, and looked at Blake who looked like she was doing the same. "Ok." She said as her and Weiss got up from their seats. Weiss looked at Blake with a little "good luck" smile, giving Blake the chance to talk to Ruby. Yang and Weiss sat in another set of seats far from where they were before. Lucky for them, they were only one's on the train so that was less pressure for Weiss.
"What did you want to talk about?" Yang asked.
"Well... have you ever been in love, Yang?" Weiss said.
"What to you mean?"
"You know. Have you ever fell in love with anyone?"
"I don't think I have. Most people that hang around me have not caught my attention in that way." Yang then came to a realization causing her give a slight gasp in excitement. "You fell in love with some guy, did you!"
"NO!" Weiss shrieked, not believing Yang would jump to that kind of conclusion.
"Come on!" Yang said with a big grin on her face. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"It's not a guy!" Weiss realized she blurted that out almost like a tsundere.
"Oh ho ho ho...! So your that kind of girl huh?" Yang said, practically teasing Weiss.
"It's just that- Look! I know that somebody loves you Yang. I've been wanting to know if you would except their feelings, because that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Yang blushed, knowing someone loves her. "Really? Is it someone I know?"
"Kind of..."
"Is he handsome?
"Well... it's not a he."
"Oh... well is she hot?" Yang blushed saying that, admitting she too was that kind of girl. which surprised Weiss.
"I guess you could say that."
"Who is it?"
"...Blake."
Yang felt her heart sink upon hearing Weiss' response. There was a moment of silence and Weiss was starting to wonder if she failed.
"Look, Yang I know that this must be-"
"EEEEEEEP!" Yang shrieked. "Thank you Weiss for telling me! I'm so happy!"
"Wha- What are talking about?"
"Well to be honest. I've been in love with Blake for quite some time."
"Oh. Really? Since when."
"The first time we met. Ruby wanted to make friends, then she pointed Blake out, but was too nervous to talk to her. When I saw her, I felt different, like I needed to go and talk to her. I thought it was to help Ruby out, but then came our first assignment at the forest temple. We found each other and I started to feel different again. I had guessed it was love and, up until now since we became a team, it has been love. I may act normal, but deep down, I've been trying to not show my true feelings toward Blake because since she is always reading, lost in her own thoughts, and concerned with her faunus heritage." Yang almost felt like crying, but held back. "I felt like I would be a bother to her. I don't want to get her upset."
"But you never will." Weiss said smiling as Yang looked up want to know what she means. "Blake has been in love with you on the same reasons. She told me she tried to hide her expressions, and it's kind of the same thing that she didn't want to bother you because she didn't know if you felt the same. All these things where she does express herself and try to be more enthusiastic is mostly to get closer to you, because that's how you are most of the time."
Yang started to feel better. "So she really does love me." She said.
"Of course."
"So then, why are you telling me?"
"Well, it's because Blake and I made a deal. I would talk to you to let you know of her feelings and know how you would feel. I didn't think it would be this easy. I almost thought it would be slightly easy to convince you, but now hearing how you already love her, it's even better."
"Wait a second. If you were told to talk to me, and we are over here away from Blake and Ruby, and you like girls..."
Weiss' eyes widened. 'Oh shit.' she thought.
Yang gasped and made a big smile. "You love Ruby!" Yang said as Weiss only brought her head down in embarrassment. "HA HA! I should have guessed. You would look so cute!"
"Shut up!" Weiss said as Yang continued to act all fan-girlish. Ironically, Weiss wanted people to actually say her and Ruby would be cute, but did not think Yang would be the first to say it and make it worse.
"Blake's talking to right now right?"
"I hope." Weiss said feeling nervous.
"I'm sure she'll do her best. It would be great if you became my sister too." Yang said laughing a bit.
"Baka!" Weiss said still embarrassed.
Meanwhile, while Weiss and Yang were talking, Blake was thinking of a strategy to talk to Ruby, without getting her mad like she already was.
"So Ruby. How are you feeling?" Blake asked.
"I'm exhausted and the only thing on my mind is wanted to go sleep in my bed back in our dorm room. And maybe have a cookie before then." Ruby said.
"I see. Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Well, do you have any interest in love?" Blake almost felt stupid asking that question, because it was actually a line from one of her books.
"Well I don't like boys because they are so gross." Ruby said almost shivering in fear. Blake almost hoped she means that she prefers girls instead of guys and tried to get more information.
"So you never had any feelings for guys. Not even guys like Juane or Ren?"
"Nope."
"Well, do you love anyone?"
"What do you mean?" Ruby was being more complicated for Blake because Blake does not know how to get through to Ruby. She goes with a new strategy.
"Well, let's say that somebody might love you and it's not really a guy." There was a pause as Ruby was actually thinking.
"You mean like a faunus."
"Eh?" Blake said wondering where that came from.
"But the only faunus we know is Sun." Ruby felt like throwing up. "Ewwww! He's got a monkey tail. And he acts like a monkey!"
'Don't remind me." Blake said, annoyed with the idea. "But that's not it!"
"But who would love me?"
"It's Weiss!" 'Oh Shit!' she thought after saying Weiss loves Ruby a little too early.
"Weiss?!" Ruby said as Blake noticed she was blushing red. Redder than her hood.
"Are you ok?"
"Do I look ok?! Weiss loves me. I can't believe it. I always hoped it was true."
"What?"
"I have always loved Weiss. I've been trying to get her to like me. But at times when she was always upset with me and getting mad at me, I always had a sense of failure. I've been trying to be a good leader to prove myself to her, but I still failed. Then after a couples of weeks when we became a team, she acted different toward me and I was hoping I was actually improving."
"You are a good leader Ruby. Weiss loves you for yourself, not just your leadership."
Ruby had tears of joy. "I'm glad. But why are you telling me all this?"
"Well, when we were in Vale, we told each other our love interests and agreed to talk to our loves individually."
"So wait, your telling me that Weiss loves me, and Weiss is telling Yang..." Ruby looks at Blake who nods, showing that Ruby is right. Ruby gasps in excitement. "You love Yang! I can't believe it. This is awesome!"
"I just hope that Yang loves me too."
"Why wouldn't she. Blake, you're amazing. I'm sure she does love you.
"Yeah. Thank you Ruby."
They saw Weiss and Yang walk back toward them and Blake saw Weiss smiling at her a little as she sat down first. Yang, still standing up, spoke to Blake.
"Blake can I talk to you?" She said.
"Sure." Blake said blushing nervously.
The two sat in the next set of seats by Ruby and Weiss, while Weiss decided to talk to Ruby.
"What did, you need to talk about Yang." Blake said.
"Well." Yang blushed, but took a deep breath and went on. "Weiss told me everything, Blake."
Blake blushed, feeling as thought she could die right now. "I see. Then do you..." She couldn't finish her sentence.
"Now, now. I want to hear it from you and only you Blake." Yang said with an expression half serious, half glad, waiting for Blake to say something.
"Yang... I love you! I love you Yang!" Blake shouted with wide eyes, then shut them tight as the pressure was intense.
"I love you too Blake!" Yang said as she reached out and hugged Blake.
"Really?" Blake said, happy that Yang got to say it too.
"I do." Yang said. Before they new it, they gazed into each other's eyes and kissed. They were both so happy, they never wanted that moment to end. Ruby and Weiss did overhear them, but stayed out of it, giving them their time together.
"So Ruby." Weiss said.
"Yes?" Ruby said.
"Are you still mad at me and Blake?"
"Kind of. But I'm just tired, and I know that this whole projecting the family company means a lot to you, and it means a lot to me and everyone else as a team."
"I know I should have told you about it before."
"Is there anything else you should have told me before?" Ruby said blushing.
"I don't know."
"Weiss, please tell me what you need to tell me." Ruby gave a begging look and Weiss could tell Blake might have got through to her. Weiss forced herself to say what she has been trying to say for quite sometime.
"I love you Ruby!" Weiss shut her eyes facing down, the opened them and faced up back at Ruby only to she her smiling.
"I love you too Weiss!" Ruby said casually and leaped in to kiss her. Weiss embraced the kiss, happy to see that Ruby loves her too.
The sun began to rise and train reached it's destination. They had returned to Beacon Academy, each holding hands as they returned to their dorm. Blake and Yang were holding hands and Ruby and Weiss did the same. They returned to the dorm and daybreak was about to happen. Luckily for them, classes didn't start until tomorrow, so they decided to spend majority of the day sleeping.
"I'm so tired. That was some trip." Ruby said after they all changed into their pajamas. Ruby tried to use what strength she had left to get in her bunk, but had a hard time trying to pull herself up.
"Ruby, would you like to sleep in my bunk?" Weiss said blushing, as she didn't want to see Ruby struggle to get on the top bunk.
"Yes! Thank you Weiss." Ruby laid on Weiss' bed and Weiss lied down next her. Ruby blushed, but fell asleep in less than 2 minutes. Weiss said good night to Blake and Yang, and once again thanked Blake for everything. Weiss drifted off to sleep while Yang looked at them, then looked at Blake, smiling. Blake smiled, knowing what Yang was thinking, and grabbed her hand, guiding her over to Blake's bed. Blake lied down on her bed and Yang lied down next her, facing her.
"I love you, Blake." Yang said.
"I love you too, Yang." Blake said. They both fell asleep, holding each other.
Weiss repositioned herself to hold Ruby like a body pillow and surprisingly Ruby did the same, despite being in a deep sleep.
"I love you, Weiss." Ruby muttered in her sleep.
"I love you too, Ruby." Weiss said, and went to sleep.
A/N: Well that's it. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I know there are some grammar problems and the title must be a little misleading, but I got the idea from episode 15 and 16 of RWBY where Weiss and Blake kept arguing, to the point where Weiss forgave Blake and did not care about her being in the White Fang with her faunus heritage. The story mainly focuses on Weiss and Blake's friendship, which could happen in future RWBY episodes, and I'm hoping that RubyXWeiss and BlakeXYang will happen. Anyway if you like this RWBY fanfic, I plan to make more. Some will have yuri and lemon, but I''m working on some that are simple and funny. Anyway please review and keep an eye out for my other fanfics. Thanks :)
