I apologize in advance for the short chapter. I'd like to give a shout out to all my constant reviewers (all 1 of you). I'm glad you all have stuck through my mini hiatus, and I have another chapter planned for you later this week. Until then, Have fun.
Team RWBY looked on strangely as Darron commandeered his team and bolted. Each girl turned to each other with wired looks.
"Psst." Jaune whispered, from his seat above Blake. Blake sat up higher in her seat, getting closer to Jaune so she could hear. "Do you know whats happening?" Jaune whispered. Blake shook her head slightly.
"No. It's weird. I wouldn't worry about it though." Blake reassured.
"Got it." Jaune answered.
"Mr. Arc. If you would? Please explain the effects that the tragedy at Mt. Glenn had on social and economic trends in the villages surrounding Vale." Oobleck interrupted.
"oh." Jaune looked down dejectedly. Causing the rest of the class to the laugh, and Pyrrha to hide her head in her hands.
After class, team RWBY was walking out of Oobleck's class when someone called out to Weiss. She turned around and her jaw nearly dropped.
"Hello Mrs. Schnee." the woman greeted. She was tall wearing a gray business suit and high heels. She stood tall with an air of sophistication and authority about her.
"Ms. Kensington! What brings you here?" Weiss asked nervously.
"Weiss? Who is this?" Ruby asked.
"I'm no one whom you should be concerned about." Ms. Kensington sharply answered, causing Ruby to shrink back. Ms. Kensington turned her attention back towards Weiss. "Is there somewhere more... private where we could converse Ms. Schnee?" She asked. Weiss nodded before walking past Ms. Kensington.
"Wait, Weiss." Yang called out. Weiss turned sharply on her heel.
"Don't worry about me guys. I'll be just fine." Weiss said with a confident smile. The members of team RWBY looked at Weiss worriedly before the eventually continued down the hall. Weiss shot a glare towards Ms. Kensington before leading her down the hall.
Weiss led Ms. Kensington through the dorms and took her into team ENDD's room. Partly, because she knew they wouldn't be there and that it would be clean, since they don't own basically anything, and more importantly, so Ms. Kensington wouldn't see the potential death trap that are the shoddy bunk beds they created.
"Why are you here?" Weiss asked as harshly as possible. Ms. Kensington smirked as she adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"You know why I am here." She stated matter of fact. Weiss clenched her fist in anger.
"I already told him. I'm not doing it." Weiss stated, determined. Ms. Kensington chuckled.
"Naive girl. You don't have a choice. You've had nearly a year here, and you father has been less than pleased with your progress. You will return, and you will do that which your father demands of you." Ms. Kensington, stated. Weiss scoffed.
"My father wouldn't be pleased with my progress, even if I had killed all of the Grimm on my own." Weiss responded.
"Yet that's not what you've done is it. Instead, you've decided to associate yourself with a number of delinquents, who make up the rest of your team, and of whom you are not the leader, and even worse, you have decided you spend time with those despicable members of team ENDD. They are human garbage. They have. Over the years, been instrumental in damaging your father's business and your family's reputation. They are despicable murderers, and, quite frankly, I find it disgusting that you would stoop so low." Kensington spoke her mind.
"What the fuck would you know!" Weiss shouted, visibly becoming angrier. "You've never spent even a minute with them. They are not the demons that I'm sure Ironwood, and my father are trying to convince the Atlesian public they are." Ms. Kensington sighed.
"Ms. Schnee. My thoughts do not matter. The fact of it is, your father and General Ironwood both hold significant influence over the population, and the government of Atlas, as well as the other kingdoms. I will inform you that, should you decide to continue fighting your familial duties, your father is more than willing to ensure that any number of your friends, will never see the light of day again." she explained. Weiss stared at Ms. Kensington in pure horror.
"Ruby, Yang, Blake... Zade. My father may be able to ruin my life, but I'll be dammed before I let him even get close to any of my friends." Weiss decided in her mind. She nearly cried as she spoke words she'd hoped she'd never have to say.
"Fine, he wins. I'll do it." Weiss reluctantly admitted. Ms. Kensington smirked.
"That's the most sensible thing you've said in this whole conversation." She stated. She turned around and practically sauntered to the door. Once she reached the door she turned to look at Weiss before saying, "Oh, your friends on team RWBY are invited too, not the scum on team ENDD. We wouldn't want them muddying up what promises to be a beautiful event." She walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Once Weiss was sure that Ms. Kensington was a suitable distance away, she allowed her tough exterior to break down and fell to her knees crying. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." she muttered to herself as she continued to sob.
Team JNPR stared at team RWBY awkwardly. The two teams sat in the schools cafeteria, yet team RWBY hadn't touched their food, but instead were staring at the door waiting for Weiss to return. The girls sighed in relief as Weiss finally walked through the door. Weiss smiled and walked over to her team. Team JNPR couldn't notice, but team RWBY could easily tell that Weiss had been crying, despite her best attempts to hide it from them.
"Hey...Weiss. How are you doing?" Ruby asked tentatively.
"I'm perfectly fine. Thanks for asking." Weiss answered trying her best to smile brightly. "So what's up guys?" Weiss asked as she sat down next to her team.
"Just getting ready for the next class." Blake answered, not wanting the situation to get even more awkward. Weiss smiled back, while hiding her true feelings in the back of her mind.
One Week Later
Team RWBY found their week to be busy, yet unrelentingly boring without team ENDD around. The team was studying, and relaxing in their dorm. Weiss laid on her bed reading a book, when suddenly she felt her scroll vibrate under her. Yang, Blake, and Weiss all pulled their scrolls out simultaneously. Weiss opened her scroll and saw that she had received a message from Zade.
"finally got some time off. Only have 30 minutes before the next mission starts. What have I missed(except your precious face)." Zade wrote.
Weiss shifted herself on her bed to hide her blush from her teammates. Weiss read the text over and over, and each time felt more guilty about what she would be doing soon.
"Not much. Just the regular grind. It's been pretty boring without you guys. When are you coming back?" Weiss responded, dreading the idea of having to talk about this with Zade.
"Darron guesses that it is going to be another 2 weeks before we get back. Kill me!" Zade responded. Weiss bit her lip, unsure whether or not to bring up the issue with Zade now. Weiss suddenly turned her head as Yang started giggling uncontrollably.
"That sucks :( What exactly are you guys doing out there?" Weiss asked, trying to be polite, and keep the conversation relatively simple. Unfortunately, Zade wasn't going to make that easy.
"I'm doing my part to make the world a safer place for you my dear." Zade answered.
"ugh." Weiss whispered under her breath as she blushed even deeper. Weiss thought for a moment and looked over at Blake, who was smiling as she read whatever she had just received. Weiss shrugged in her mind, and decided she might as well have some fun before her father kills all forms of joy in her life.
"Oh my hero. I eagerly await your return." Weiss wrote trying to sound as seductive as possible, over text. Zade appeared to get the message though.
"Thou must not weep for me fair maiden, for thy errand is but a brief one and I shalt appear outside thou bedchamber before you" Zade answered, in full pompous mode. Weiss let out an audible giggle.
"Holy shit." Yang stated. "That was unusually cute for you." Weiss looked around at her teammates, chuckled nervously and ran out of the room. She ran down the hall and hid herself in ENDD's room, locking the rest of her team outside. Weiss walked over twoards Zade's bed and wrapped herself in his blankets. Feeling the warmth of Zade around her made yet even more melancholey as to her current situation.
"Shit, I have to go. I'll text you next time I can. Farewell." Zade suddenly texted. Weiss stared at the message for a few moments before and idea popped into her mind. Weiss walked towards the bathroom in team ENDD's bathroom. Weiss stood in front of the mirror and slowly took off her clothes. She started at her self in the mirror, acknowledging her naked body. Weiss forced herself to strike some kind of pose, and took a picture of herself. Weiss stared at the picture on her phone. Weiss found her hand hovering above the send button, before she hesitated.
"Hopefully one day." Weiss wished as she instead deleted the photo. Immediately Weiss sighed in relief. Weiss walked back into team ENDD's room before pulling on one of Zade's shirts and falling asleep in Zade's bed.
10 Days Later
While most of team RWBY had fallen into a pattern, while waiting for team ENDD to return, Weiss found herself slowly becoming more restless. Finally, on one of their days off, Weiss couldn't keep it a secret anymore. Weiss shot up from the desk where she was studying.
"Guys!" Weiss demanded, gaining the attention of the rest of her team.
"What's up partner?" Ruby asked, still, for some reason, trying to balance a cookie on her nose.
"I...I'm going home." Weiss blurted out, causing the rest of the team to gasp. "I'm not leaving." Weiss immediately followed, now confusing her team. " .ok." Weiss said, despite the fact no one else had said anything. "My father... Needs me to come home for a special event, and I was wondering... would you guys like to come with me?" She asked.
Team RWBY looked at each other before they all practically jumped at Weiss.
"This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!" Yang cheered as she and Ruby jumped up and down. Blake just looked around awkwardly.
"Don't worry Blake. With your bow, no one will know you're a faunas. My father would never guess there was a faunas in his house. No one will be looking too closely." Weiss said, trying to reassure her feline teammate.
"Then I'm in." Blake said. Weiss smiled. Subtly that smile shifted into a mischievous grin.
"If my life is potentially going to be ruined. Then I'm going to have all the fun I can getting there." Weiss thought as she saw the faces of her teammates slowly morph into fear. "That's right girls. It's time to learn some etiquette." Weiss stated.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Yang and Ruby cried out, falling to their knees, while Weiss and Blake laughed.
