I don't own RWBY if I did Roman would get more lines.
Red arrived at her dorm only to hear noises coming from within. Pushing herself up against the door she heard the voices of the rest of team RWBY arguing about something.
"She's hiding something from us," stated Blake.
Red cursed softly. She was hoping Blake had forgotten what happened earlier due to the Cardin incident.
"Well she did just lose all her memory of us so I'm not surprised she doesn't trust us yet," countered Weiss.
"That's just it Weiss, I don't think she lost her memory or at least not completely," replied Blake.
"What! That's ridiculous why would Ruby pretend to have amnesia?" exclaimed Weiss.
"I don't know but you saw her reaction in the cafeteria, she didn't seem surprised at all by our names and then there's her reaction with Jaune," returned Blake.
'Damn it, Blake's far more observant then I gave her credit for,' Red thought frowning.
"It could be coincidence," Weiss weakly replied.
"No Weiss she's right, remember how Blake called her out asking if she remembered anything," sighed Yang, drawing shocked looks from everyone including Red.
"Ruby reacted the exact same way she does when she's hiding something important," continued Yang.
Red frowned, she didn't think she'd done anything to give herself away. Besides why would she act like Ruby does to lie? It didn't make sense, if anything she'd act like herself not Ruby.
"Well if you think so Yang I'll believe it, after all she is your sister," replied a shocked Weiss.
"Is she?" questioned a depressed Yang, "honestly sometimes it feels like I'm talking to a stranger wearing my sister's skin."
Red just stood there staring at the door handle. Part of her wanted to open the door and come clean while another wanted to run as far away as possible. Shaking her head as she realized how stupid she must look just standing outside her dorm, she took a deep breath and opened the door. Only to find all of team RWBY asleep in their beds, sighing with relief she climbed up onto Fort Ruby, trying to ignore the growing sense of guilt.
"YANG, YANG!" Ruby's voice carried across the small house as she searched room by room for her big sister.
Yang came stumbling out of the backyard, her face glistening with sweet. Grabbing her sister by her hood as she passed and clamping a hand over Ruby's mouth.
"Alright Ruby I'm here no need to let half the neighbourhood hear you," she said taking her hand off, "so what's up?"
Ruby grabbed a box from behind her and gave it to Yang. Confused Yang opened it up to reveal two shiny yellow gauntlets. Ruby smiled as Yang's eyes widen and began tracing the gauntlets with her hands.
"I just wanted to congratulate you for getting into Signal sis, so I made these for you since I know dad's been training you in hand to hand combat," she explained.
Yang looked at her sister, tears welling in her eyes, "Ruby I… I don't know what to say."
"A thank you would be a start," she joked.
Yang grabbed Ruby crushing her in a bear hug, tears streaming down her face, "thankyouthankyouthankyouyou'rethebestsisterever."
"Yang…please stop….can't breathe," choked out Ruby.
"So," taking deep breaths after being freed, "what are you going call them?" she asked.
Yang smiled, "these two gauntlets will be a holy fire to burn through the darkness, they will be Ember Celica."
Red woke up red and teary eyed. 'It happened again and of course it had to be about Yang,' she thought depressed. Quietly getting off her bunk she got changed into Ruby's school uniform and looked up her schedule. She had Grimm Studies with Prof. Port first at 9 followed by History with Prof. Oobleck and unfortunately finishing the day with combat class with Prof. Goodwitch.
Sighing Red felt something in her jacket pocket. Curious she reached in and pulled out a silver whistle. She smirked as she remembered just where she'd seen it before. Quietly creeping up to Weiss she put the whistle to her mouth and blew.
Yang was enjoying her dreams of happier times with Ruby when she was woken by a loud shrill note piecing her dreams followed by a nostalgic, "GOOD MORNING TEAM RWBY!"
Snapping her eyes open Yang saw Ruby laughing as Weiss fell out of her bed screaming. Unable to keep a straight face she burst out into laughter alongside her. Even Blake couldn't keep a smile forming on her face at the sight of the heiress falling flat on her backside. For a brief moment everything seemed back to normal and Yang couldn't be happier.
That was until Ruby saw her and her laughter ceased as she turned to look away, the guilty look on her face didn't go unnoticed by all of them. The look was gone in an instant though, so quickly that they almost thought they had imagined it.
"So Ruby, what are you doing up so early?" she asked.
"Well Yang, Ozpin said that I was cleared to resume my huntress duties including class," explained Ruby.
Yang flinched at the sound of her name, before smiling, "well that sucks now you have to suffer through Port's stories of when 'he was a young lad'," giving her best Port impersonation.
Ruby snorted, "I'm sure it's not that bad."
Grimm Studies was as boring as usual with the professor lost in tales of his 'gallant' past again. Yang snorted, half of them were probably lies and the other half exaggerated to the point where they were unrecognisable. Throughout it all she kept an eye on Ruby, she was definitely hiding something, that much Yang knew but what? It was odd sometimes she acted like her sister, this morning and the cookies being prime examples, yet at the same time acted like a completely different person, more mature, weary of people in general and much more vengeful. Groaning in relief as the bell rang she grabbed Ruby, much to her protest and they walked on to History.
History with Prof. Oobleck was nowhere near as boring as Grimm Studies, provided someone can keep up with his insane coffee high. Just watching him dart from corner to corner made her feel ill, she had no idea how Vomit Boy could handle it. Looking over at the said blonde she noticed he was falling asleep on his desk, 'hmm must have had a late night.' Unfortunately it seemed Cardin had also noticed but before he could begin to harass Jaune he was pelted by paper thrown from Ruby. Crying out he drew Prof. Oobleck's attention.
"Ah, Mr. Winchester finally about to contribute to class, excellent excellent! What advantage did the Faunus have against General Lagune's forces?" questioned the professor.
Everyone turned to look at Cardin who had the expression of a deer caught in headlights. The silence only broken by Ruby snickering in the background. Cardin turned to glare at her before looking back to the professor.
"Well I know it's a lot easier to train an animal then a soldier," he arrogantly stated.
"You're really not an open minded person are you Cardin?" commented Ruby.
Everyone turned from glaring at team CRDL to see Ruby with her now trademark grin. Yang began sending hand signals to tell her to stop but she either didn't understand or didn't care.
"What you got a problem?" he demanded, rising up from his chair.
Immediately Yang stood up ready to tackle Cardin if necessary. A brief look around showed Blake, Pyrrha and Nora doing the same with the rest of team CRDL.
"No I have the solution," she said before turning to Prof. Oobleck. "It's night vision, most Faunus are known to have near perfect vision in the dark. The General's forces were out matched and he was captured, maybe if he paid attention in class he wouldn't have been known as such a failure," finished Ruby.
Seething Cardin sat down, Yang also took her seat confused. 'If she has amnesia then how does she know that? We were only taught it a week ago.' Frowning she turned to Blake receiving a subtle nod in return, she wasn't the only one that noticed. As the period bell rang team RWBY made their way to combat class.
"Today we will be teaching you about tournament fights to prepare you for the upcoming Vytal Festival," explained Prof. Goodwitch.
The class erupted into whispers at this news while Yang was too preoccupied with her thoughts to pay much attention. Goodwitch waited for the noise to quieten down before continuing.
"As such, you will be divided into pairs and face each other in a one on one duel. The loser is the first to get their aura levels in the red. Understood?"
Taking the lack of sound as an affirmative she announced, "the first pair to face off will be Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose."
So I didn't really like this chapter that much compared to the others for some reason. I mostly wrote it to show that the rest of team RWBY aren't complete idiots that are easily fooled. As for the people who noticed I changed to order of events from the series on purpose the idea is the Chaos Theory is coming into play thanks to Red. Also what did you guys think about Yang's P.O.V. was it good and would you like to see more different characters perspective's or just stick with Red? As always forgive bad grammar and I hope you enjoyed it.
