At the hospital

Shane and Ruby sat down in the ER room waiting for Nobody. Then Ruby asked, "So, what were you doing here in Haven?"

Shane sighed. "About a week ago, my team and I were sent on a mission to check out some White Fang activity about an hour away from here. When we were done with the mission, we were ready to head back to Beacon, until we got a message from Ozpin. He said that he wanted us to go to Haven and keep an eye on you guys cause he had a feeling that someone was following you guys as well." Shane then got up and got some water. "He wanted us to just watch you guys and try not to make contact with you if possible unless necessary, but Jak didn't quite understand that when he ran into Weiss…" He had an annoyed look on his face. "To be fair he didn't know what Kage and the rest of you guys looked like, only I did."

"So you were just trying to make sure we were alright?" Ruby asked.

"Yes, and from what just happened, we were not able to do a good job…" Shane said as he hung his head low.

Ruby then placed her hand on his shoulder, "There wasn't much that you could do, you were basically fighting the strongest team at Beacon."

"I know, I just wish we would have known that and we could have tried to call for backup or something." Shane said.

"I know, at least we were able to get out of there alive." Ruby said trying to comfort him. She then saw the gash on his stomach, but it wasn't bleeding red, but black. "Um...are you alright? You seem to be...bleeding?"

Shane looks down and sees the black blood, "Oh, that…" He covers it up and the cut is gone. "You see...i'm not exactly...human…"

Ruby had a bit of a surprised look on her face, "What do you mean, 'not human'?"

Before Shane could say anything, both Ruby and him see a doctor come out from a door heading towards them. "I'll tell you later." Shane then gets up. "So how is he doctor? Is he going to be alright?"

The doctor then said, "Yes, he is stabilized for now, he has lost a lot of blood, but he will be fine, he just needs to rest for a while."

"Is it ok if I can see him?" Ruby asked the doctor.

"Of course." The doctor said as he showed her the way.

"Are you going to come?" Ruby asked Shane.

"Not now, you should see him first, besides, I'm gonna wait for my teammates." Shane said as he sat back down.

Ruby nodded and started to walk with the doctor until they made it to the room Nobody was in. "He's in here, and please try not to wake him up." The doctor said.

"Thank you Doctor…" Ruby said asking for his name.

"Nigel, Dr. Nigel Burke." Nigel finished.

"Thank you Nigel." Ruby said as she walked into the room. She then sat in a chair next to the bed Nobody was resting in. She took Nobody's hand in hers as she looked over his sleeping body. She then thought, 'This is all my fault...I should have said something to him when I saw your brothers.' She began to feel tears fall from her eyes and land on her and Nobody's linked hands. "I'm so sorry Nobody…" She said as her voice started to tremble. "I was careless…" She then gripped his hand tighter. "You could have died because of me…" She then got up and got close to his face. "Nobody...I love you…" She then gently kisses him.

A nurse then came in and brought in a tray of food for Nobody, it was a slice of pizza, a cookie, and milk. Ruby looked at the tray of food and got up, she then grabbed the milk and left the room.

Jak and Jok were able to make it out of the forest and back into town. Jok then said, "Should we head to the hospital?"

"No, I think we should go and find Ruby's team and tell them what happened first before we head there." Jak said as he pulled out his scroll.

"What are you doing?" Jok asked

"I'm sending a message to Weiss to see if she knows where Yang and Blake are and to have the three of them meet us at the hospital as soon as possible." Jak said as he continued to type on his scroll and press send.

"Oh ok then, so whats Ruby's team like?" Jok asked putting his hands behind his head.

Jak sighed, "I'll tell you on the way to the hospital." The two then started to make their way to the hospital. "Well, there's Yang, Ruby's older sister, she's a party girl, but is no stranger to fighting Grimm. Then there's Blake, she's very quiet and is very skilled with stealth, and then," Jak had a smile on his face. "There's Weiss Schnee, people say she has a cold exterior and can be mean at times, but she is very nice once you get to know her." Jak then looked at Jok, "What about you, how was your team like?"

Jok smiled slightly, "Well there was Alex, a bit of a loner but he was a team player, never backed down from a fight and never left a man behind, then there was Xavier, a hacker, if it involved tech, he knew what it was and how to hack it. And finally Sally...my best friend, I kept her greatest secret even now after her death, she was so kind and gentle, so funny, so…" Jok said, struggling to finish.

Jak then asked, "Did you love her, cause I know how it feels to lose someone you loved…" Jak then started to remember things from his past.

"I think I did in a way, but she didn't back, her secret was in the way." Jok stated, looking down slightly.

"I'm so sorry." Jak said. Then the two made it to the hospital and found the rest of his team already waiting in the ER. "How's he doing?" Jak asked Shane.

"He's alright, the doctors say he just needs to rest." Shane said as he scooted over for Jak to sit down.

"Where's Ruby?" Jok asked.

"She's in Nobody's room, I wanted her to have her time with him before we came in." Shane said.

"Did anyone tell her teammates about this?" Natsu asked.

"I sent a message to Weiss to tell the others to meet me at the hospital." Jak replied.

"Well that's the first smart thing you did all night." Haru said in an annoyed tone.

"Shut up, now's not the time for being an asshole." Jok said, leaning against one of the walls.

"Easy there hot head, I really don't want to start anything here." Haru stated.

"Then keep your mouth shut." Jok exclaimed, glaring at Haru.

"Or what?" Haru said standing up.

Before Jok or Haru could do anything, Natsu held Haru back while Jak did the same thing with Jok. "Calm down you two." Shane said. "This is not the time or place to fight."

The two just glared at each other and sat back down. A few minutes later, the rest of Ruby's team showed up. Then Yang asked, "What happened, why did you ask us to come here, and why are these guys here?" She pointed to Natsu and Haru.

"Yang...something happened…" Jak said. "Please sit down, same with you two." He looked at Weiss and Blake.

"What's going on?" Weiss asked.

Jak then looked at Shane, he then got up. "I'm sure you guys remember me, my name's Shane, and I'm Nobody's best friend"

Right when he said that, the three then remember the date that Ruby and Nobody went on. "So you're the waiter that Ruby was talking about." Blake stated.

"Yes, but that's not important. My team and I was sent on a mission and we were ordered to keep an eye on you guys." Shane said. Shane then told them all that happened to them within the last few hours, about Kage, about Cinder, about everything. "And then I brought Ruby and Nobody here as soon as I could."

The team was silent for a bit, then Yang walked up and grabbed Shane's shirt and lifted him up, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER?! WE COULD HAVE HELPED!" Yang yelled.

"I'm sorry, but we couldn't tell you because we didn't want to blow our cover." Shane said, then he glared at Jak. "Especially since we almost did with Jak here."

"I said I was sorry!" Jak replied.

"Anyway, again, i'm sorry Yang, but we did the best that we could, and it wasn't good enough…" Shane said as Yang lowered him to the floor. "But for now, let's just wait here for a bit until we get the ok from Ruby that he's fine."

"...Ok…" Yang said as the rest of them decided to sit on the couch waiting patiently for Ruby to come back.

Jok looked over the group and sighed, "Um...guys I need to go." He said, getting up from his seat.

"Why?" Shane asked.

"Well...I'm kinda on the run from the White Fang and if they turn up here, I can't risk you lot getting hurt but thanks for the help I guess." Jok replied, walking up to the exit.

"Jok wait." Shane said, he then extended his hand. "Thanks for saving our ass back in the forest."

Jok turned and shook Shane's hand, "No worries, it's what my team would have done, if you ever need anything, I won't be far away." Jok said, letting go of Shane's hand and leaving.

"Hmm...I was starting to like the asshole as well." Haru said.

"I heard that!" Jok shouted from outside.

Nobody slowly opened his eyes, he then sat up straight. "Uh, my head…" Nobody grabbed the back of his head, he then looked around. "I guess i'm at the hospital…" He then looked around more and saw Ruby was asleep in a chair next to him and there was a tray of food between him and Ruby, it had a slice of pizza, a cookie that looked like someone had taken a small bite out of it. Nobody then thinks, 'Ruby...you sure do love cookies...' He then looks at the drink and notice that it's strawberry milk. 'Ruby...' He then got out of bed, slightly holding his side in pain, he then picked up Ruby bridal style without waking her and carried her back to the bed. He sat down and held Ruby in his arms. "Ruby...thank you." He then kisses her forehead.

Ruby flinched a little at this and woke up, she noticed that she was looking at Nobody and that she was not in the chair anymore. "N-Nobody!" She then hugged him tightly.

"Ouch!"

"Oh, sorry." Ruby said as she released her grip on Nobody. "What are you doing?! You need to be resting, and definitely not be carrying me!" She said as she got out of his arms and sat next to him on the bed.

"I just wanted to hold you." Nobody said as he held her hand. "Besides, I can stand any amount of pain, just to be with you."

"Still...I don't want you to get hurt any more right now." Ruby said. "Do you remember much?"

Nobody just looked at her for a bit and tried to think, "Little...I was trying to fight my brothers...and then they were heading towards you...and after that, I can't remember much." Nobody then grabbed his head. "What happened…"

Ruby didn't say anything at first, then she said, "You weren't you for a while...it seemed like someone, or something, took over your body. You were able to defeat Sown and Meta, and you were able to hold your own against Kage, but he ended up doing something that caused you to pass out or something. That's when Shane and his team came to rescue us."

"Did I...hurt them…" Nobody said, his head hung low.

"No badly, except for one guy." Ruby answered.

"Who?" Nobody asked.

"The new guy you saw, Jok." Ruby said.

Nobody then looked at Ruby, "The same guy that was hitting on you?" Ruby didn't say anything. "I see, well, i'm glad I didn't kill anyone...I guess."

Ruby then rested her head on his shoulder, "Well...so much for the last day of vacation…"

Nobody then wrapped his arm around her waist, "Yeah...but we still had a good time before today." Nobody then looked at Ruby and then they kissed. "Thank you for the strawberry milk."

Ruby then laughed a little, "I knew you would like it."

"Where are the others?" Nobody asked.

Ruby then said, "Sitting in the ER, Shane told me to come in here by myself for awhile, want me to go get them?"

"Actually, no, I just want to rest for a while" Nobody said as he laid back down on the bed.

"Oh, do you want me to leave then?" Ruby asked.

"No, it's fine, in fact." Nobody then patted on a spot on the bed next to him. "Could you please lay down with me for a while?"

Ruby thought for a bit and then said, "Sure, if you want me to." Ruby then laid down next to Nobody in the bed. "Nobody...what are we going to tell Ozpin?"

"...We just tell him what happened." Nobody said. He then wrapped one of his arms around Ruby.

"What about your brothers?" Ruby asked.

"...They are not my brothers...not anymore…" Nobody answered.

A/N

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, a lot of things has happened the last week, so I didn't have much time to write and such, anyway, here is the chapter.

Also, I realize that there are some cleaver names for pairings, even for OCxRuby pairings, so I was talking to a friend and just wanted to see what you thought a good name would be.

Nameless Flower

Unknown Rose

Lonely Gem

Nobody's Rose

Anyway, just wanted to see what you guys like or if you can think of something better for NobodyxRuby.

Also, again, I was planning on making a one-shot Halloween story since Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I might not be able to post much for this story this month, but I will try to work on it. If you have any suggestions as to what the girls should go for Halloween, let me know as well.

Until next time, Kibar out!
