Weiss sat on the bed, head hung low, hair covering her face. Ruby sat next to her, attempting to comfort her.
Blake sat in the corner, not wanting to get caught up in any arguments, but staying attentive.
Yang was pacing back and forth in anger.
'How dare he call her out like that? She made what she thought was a good decision!' She thought angrily.
"Yang, calm down. You're burning the floor." Blake said, pointing to the long black streak Yang's feet were currently making.
"No. That… prick…" Yang struggled to contain her anger, but it was clearly not working.
"No… I was at fault… I made a bad decision… I killed a person…" Weiss mumbled amongst Ruby's insistent shushes.
"Weiss, no… not your fault… calm down…" Ruby whispered into her girlfriend's ear, but to no avail.
This was a dark time for Team RWBY. They all felt betrayed.
Nora knocked on the door, calling out, "Hey guys! It's Nora! I just wanted to apologize to Weiss for-"
Yang cut her off, opening to door violently, nearly ripping it off its hinges.
Her eyes were deep red. She was beyond enraged.
"You all should have backed us up! But no…. Pyrrha is too busy trying to get into Arc's pants, and Ren is too… Ren… and you. You are always happy, like all the time… You seriously need a reality check Valkyrie. This is a fucking war, and we're losing!" Yang had said, causing Nora back up, silent.
Yang, acting seriously unlike Yang, continued her harsh barrage, "You were supposed to be our friends, our sister team! But you treated Weiss like a fucking kid!" Yang attempted to shove her out of the room, but a sudden green garbed arm blocked her.
"Yang. You need to calm down. This isn't like you." He attempted.
Yang stopped, shocked, then began to laugh… it was a scary laugh, like a maniac.
"Hahaha, Aha! He speaks! For once! Ya know, I don't remember you saying anything during that fiasco either, ninja boy… In fact, I barely recall hearing you say anything, ever! But as soon as I start calling Valkyrie out, you jump in! Ya know I think you just want to get into her pants!"
"YANG!" Ruby shouted, affronted, and attempting to get her sisters attention.
"No, Ruby. I've got this. Where were you when we were surrounded by White Fang in the middle of Mountain Glenn? Ruby tried to call Arc… I'll give you the fact it was disconnected, but did he try to call back? NO. He probably just rolled over and fell back asleep."
"NO. He woke us up to tell us! We didn't know-" Nora attempted to argue back, but Yang once again cut her off.
"Suuurrrreee he did…" Yang sighed.
"Xiao Long, you need to calm down." Ren said authoratively, but she was having none of it.
"I'll show you calm, pretty boy!" Yang said, and dove at Ren.
"YANG, NO!" The rest of RWBY shouted in unison.
Suddenly, Yang's gauntlets glowed black, and they rose sharply toward the ceiling, pinning her arms against it.
"Pyrrha?" Nora asked, turning around.
"No." Came the multi-voiced answer.
Jaune stepped out of the hallway into view, holding his darkened hand up.
"Let me go." Yang whispered in rage.
"Not until you hear what I have to say." Jaune replied, keeping an even tone.
He turned to Weiss, who was now cowering in Ruby's arms.
"First off. Weiss, I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget how much a battlefield can change a person. I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt anyone… but were thinking of the other hunters and huntresses safeties…" Jaune said.
Weiss looked up, still teary eyed, "You… you sure?"
He walked over to her, and got down on her level, looking her in the eyes.
"It's not your fault." He said.
"But-"
"It's. not. Your. Fault." He repeated.
It was then when Weiss began to sob in earnest, clutching her stunned red caped girlfriend in a vice-like hold.
Jaune got up, and turned to the still slightly seething Blonde on the ceiling.
"As for you, Xiao Long. Don't ever go after my team again. Verbally or physically." He said, and let Yang collapse to the ground.
He left, motioning for his teammates to follow.
Silence now reigned within team RWBY's dorm. Yang sat next to Blake, and Weiss still next to Ruby.
Yang shook her head in disbelief.
"I… I can't believe I went off like that… I haven't done that since…" Yang said, choking back a sob.
"Yang… Anger is something we all deal with… sometimes we control it, but sometimes it controls us. Luckily, you have friends here who can help you fight it. And, you have me." Blake said, smiling at her girlfriend.
"Yeah… But one thing is for sure. JNPR isn't the only one who needs to make an apology today…" Yang said, getting up, shook her head to clear it, and started toward the door.
"Yang?" Ruby spoke aloud for the first time.
"Yeah, Rubes?"
"We all have our demons. Please don't let yours control you again."
"I… I'll try, Ruby." She said, and finished the sentence under her breath, 'Or die trying.'
