In a few moments the ambulance came by to bring the faunus girl to the hospitol. team RWBY continued their route to the picnic the way they got a call on their scroll from team answered . Jaune asking what was taking so just replied plainly.
"some faunus girl was getting beaten up so we stopped it. we should be their soon." Jaune nodded his head and then closed his scroll. Ruby put hers in her pocket and continued walking with Weiss.
Yang and Blake gave each other a quick glance but said nothing and continued walking.
20 minutes later they arrived at their destination. At a hill with a large tree at the top on the outskirts of vale. the only thing getting in the girls way was a large metal fence for grimm protection. not that they had any trouble they all easily jumped over it.
the 4 girls got to the top of the hill and what they saw took their breaths away. They had a amazing view of Vales forest , it was a large forest with beautiful green trees reaching out as far as the eye can see. their was a mountain all alone far out and Ruby could even see a river stream near sky was blue with not a single cloud in it with the hot sun shining down on them.
Ruby snapped out of the gaze and held Yang's hand softly and whispered in her ear.
"oh wow. this is gorgeous , im glad your here with me." hearing Ruby say that gave Yang a warm feeling in the pit of her stomach and Yang rubbed Ruby's hand with her thumb.
"hey guys look down their." said Weiss pointing down the hill. the girls looked in the direction where Weiss was pointing and saw team JNPR setting up a large blanket on the ground underneath a large tree, Jaune was placing some food from the basket on the blanket , Ren and Nora were putting a parasole up and Pyrrha was no where to be seen.
the four girls made their way down the hill .
"Hey jaune ." said Weiss
"hey guys . you finally made it ." said Jaune with a smile.
"yeah sorry about that we had to help a poor girl from getting killed." said Blake.
"well at least your here now. Oh and pyrrha just had to pee and went to find a bush, she should be back soon." said Jaune. Yang handed him the bag of baked goods.
"Thanks , you guys should go see the river its really amazing." suggested Jaune.
"Are you sure you dont need help here?" asked Ruby. Jaune just waved it off.
"Yeah , im sure. you guys brought the food now its our turn to do something." said Jaune had a smile on his face until he heard a loud cracking sound in the back of him and turned his head slowly kind of expecting what made that noise.
"awwwn its broken." said Nora sadly with a broken parasol in her hand . Ren as usual came prepared.
"Its ok Nora i brought Duct tape ." said Ren while taping the broken parasol back together.
"Why would you bring duct tape to a picnic silly!" asked Nora.
"with you,you never know when you might need it." said Ren turned his head to the four girls with a forced smile.
"so yeah ,you guys should go this is going to be long...and stressful." Jaune whispered the last part to himself.
"alright see you soon Jaune." said Ruby.
the four girls walked in a random direction into the forest and laughed when they heard a loud crack and Jaune yelling again."Nora how do you break stuff so easily!"
the four girls walked the the forest and took in all its beauty.
"wow the leaves are so green they look like emeralds." said Yang.
"Yeah, and that Fresh smell in the air is amazing." said Weiss.
"Thats not the only thing thats amazing." Said Blake earned her a Blush from Weiss.
"GUYS look out a grimm." yelled Yang .Ruby, Weiss and Blake pulled their weapons out instantly and asked where in unison.
Yang pointed to a large tree . The three girls looked really close and saw a bug grimm that was screeching at started dying of laughter . the three other girls just looked at each other before dying of laughter themselves . The tiny grimm bug screeched again and shot some acid out of its mouth that landed 3 inches away from the tree it was on. The girls looked at eachother before laughing even harder. Then Yang shot it with ember celica obliterating the bug.
"AHAHA oh that was good ." said Yang wiping a tear from her waited for her teammates to catch their breaths.
"soooo what you guys want to do now?" asked Yang.
"Well i was thinking we could go to the top of that mountain we saw?" suggested Weiss.
"Alright ,you go with Blake to the mountain and Im going to go with Ruby to the river." said Yang.
"sounds like a plan!" said Ruby cheerfully ,happy that she can be alone with Yang.
"Why dont we go to the river together?" asked Weiss.
"Blake what do you want to do?"asked Yang gesturing her head to Ruby when she was sure Blake was the only one looking at her.
"ohh uhh I want to go to the top of the mountain with Weiss, you guys can go to the river we will just meet up with JNPR later." said Blake. Yang gave her a thumbs up.
"Alright so its decided see you guys later." said Yang.
"See ya." Said Weiss. She grabbed Blake's hand and started to walk in the direction of the Turned her head back to Yang with a look of concern on her face But Yang just gave he a a reassuring smile. Ruby noticed this but didnt think much of it.
"Alright Rubes if my navigation skills are correct the the River should beeeeeeeeee That way!" pointed the grabbed Yang's hand .
"Even if we get lost ill be happy as long as im with you ." said Ruby.
"ditto." replied Yang. The two of them started walking through the forest admiring its beauty.
"This is so relaxing." said Ruby.
"yeah we should do this more often." replied Yang,squeezing Ruby's hand then stopped and put her hand infront of Ruby's eyes.
"uhhh Yang,what are you doing?" asked Ruby.
"you will see." replied Yang. Ruby heard the sound of something being pulled out of the ground. Then she heard Yang clear her throat.
"roses are red violets are blue, i dont know what i would do without you." said Yang. Hearing that made Ruby blush and giggle. Yang Removed her hand from Ruby's eyes and Ruby saw that she was holding a rose.
"I know that was cheesy and unlike me but i thought it would make you happy." said Yang blushing and looking away a little .
"Oh Yang, you always make me happy." said Ruby and moved forward to plant a tender kiss on Yang's lips.
Yang then put the rose carefully in Ruby's hair.
"Their a pretty rose for a pretty rose." said Yang Blushing even more now.
"hehe wow what happened? you ran out of bad puns so you start using romantic ones?" teased laughed.
"Oh trust me the terrible puns arent gone thats never going to change, I just thought you would like romance talk too." said Yang
" I do like it actually." said Ruby while kissing Yang a second time.
"Well we should probably keep going before we take too long and our friends think a grimm got us or something, Ruby nodded and the two kept on walking.
It didnt take too long to get to the lake and along the way Yang and Ruby made small talk and had some laughs. It was a special moment for both of them. When they got too the river they were speechless.
"Wow its so gorgeous." said Ruby.
"Thats not the only thing that is gorgeous." said Yang romantically.
"oh wow, you totally stole that from Blake." teased Ruby.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." said Yang equally as teasingly.
The river was a shallow one reaching up to about half of Ruby's leg with clear water. The water was so clear that you could count all the rocks at the bottom. The water was warm too.
Yang took her boots off with her socks and found a spot to sit down and put her feet in the water .Ruby did the same and sat down next to laid her head on Yang's shoulder while Yang put her arm around Ruby. They sat their in silence listening to the water flow down the the river and the birds chirping in the sky.
Yang broke the silence.
"Hey Ruby?"
"yeah?"
"their is something i wanted to ask you. Its kind of the reason i wanted to come here alone with you while Weiss and Blake went to the mountain." said Yang.
'Yang sounds serious I hope im not in trouble .' Thought Ruby.
"sure,whats on you mind?" asked Ruby.
"Well, today in the alley way ,normally your the first to help out in a situation like that but today, you didnt do anything,even after Blake asked you to do something you let me and Weiss do all the work, your not in trouble or anything im just a little worried thats all." said Yang softly.
Ruby closed her eyes and sighed.
"Well, i guess i can tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone ok?" said Ruby.
"I promise." said closed her eyes and began explaining.
"so back then when my parents died ...it wasnt grimm who killed them. It was faunus. My parents were very strong huntsmen and huntress and they brought down a lot of bad people, which is good but it earned them a lot enemies. We had a nice house in the woods it was not to far from the city. One day it was our grand parents anniversary so they came over to Celebrate . We didn't have e very big family i didn't have any aunts or uncles it was just my mom,dad, older sister and grand parents .Then right before supper we had four faunus break in. Ill never forget those God damn bastards. A goat , a tiger, a snake and a bear faunus." said Ruby sadly,eyes closed the entire time.
"A tiger faunus?! Like Jeremy, you think thats why hes pushing you so much?" said Yang. Feeling anger grow in the pit of her stomach and eyes getting just shook her head.
"No. It wasnt him, I would be able to tell. Any way they broke in and the goat and tiger used swords while the other two used duel pistols. Their was no warning they just came in and cut my grand fathers head off and shot my grandmother in the head. My Sister rushed me to the top of the stairs to our room where we hid for a few minutes then my dad came to us and told us our mom was fending the four of them off with her duel katanas and he was going to get his weapon and keep them off me and my sister while we escape by the back door. Ive never seen my dad's weapon before but i heard a story that he fought 100 grimm all by himself and killed them all. So the plan was going well me and my sis were about to get to the back door ...but thats when my mom's aura depleted and she took a shot to the knee...at this point my Dad was fighting all four of them on his own while my mom limped me and my sis out the back door. The memories are a little hazy here but I think my mom was telling me and my sis to run to town and get help but i was so scared i wasnt really paying that much sis didnt like that plan ,she was a stubborn person and insisted on helping my parents fight even though she had no fighting skills...then i remember my sister running in to help my dad . then my mom gave me her cloak and told me to run as fast as i can to the city to get i remember the goat faunus dashed to me and stabbed me in my abdomen Thats how i got my scar...It wasnt a deep cut but enough to hurt. My mom in a split second Snapped the goat faunus neck and he feel to the ground...Thats when i saw my mom get shot by the snake faunus. She fell to the ground Bleeding heavily and thats when she told me to run...and i did I ran as fast as my little legs could carry was so hard to see and think i was so scared and crying so much. Then i think i activated my semblance for the first time because i heard a shot coming my way then all of a sudden i was further then i was a second ago and i had rose petals scattered around scattered around me . all that violence was too much for 6 year old and i fell from exhaustion cause of the blood loss i had from getting stabbed and i started to crawl. I was so tired and exhausted that i just stopped and wanted to take a nap...But then a beautiful Blonde angel named Yang came to save me, you pretty much know the rest."
Ruby sighed in relief.
'finally, I let all that weight of my chest...it feels good.' thought Ruby.
Ruby kept her eyes close the entire story and opened them to see Yang. Crying softly.
"Oh my God Ruby...Im so sorry i had no idea...I didnt think it was that violent. I shouldnt have asked." said Yang sobbing.
"No Yang, Its actually good I told you. Ive kept it all inside for so many years and now i let it all out and it feels i dont have to feel this pain all by myself , I have you here by my side now." said Ruby while embracing Yang trying to calm her down.
"shhhhhshhhhshh Its ok Yang...Its ok." soothed Ruby for a while a while until Yang stopped crying.
"The police said they only found the bodies of your parents. do you know if your sister made it out alive." asked Yang resting her head on Ruby's chest.
"I dont know...she Didnt enter a huntress academy yet and the only fighting experience she ever had were kid fights at school...so as much as i hope shes ok ...I dont think she is."said Ruby sadly.
"...were you guys close?" asked Yang.
"Yeah, I remember spending almost all my time with her. I love and miss her every single day." said Ruby Sadly, a single tear sliding down her cheek.
"Did you ever try to find out who did it?"
"Not yet. My plan was to start when i become a full huntress when i have more time and resources."said Ruby while Rubbing Yang's back softly.
"you see why I dont really have a lot of love for faunus?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah I do...Hey...You dont hate Blake right?" asked Yang. Ruby sighed lightly.
"No not really. It is a little hard to like her though because of her criminal past. I always wonder how many lives she ruined like mine while she was in the white fang, she seems like she really wants to redeem herself so i let it slide." said Ruby.
"Ok."said rested on Ruby's chest for a until Ruby suggested they start heading Back to which Yang agreed to.
