"Blake, can we talk? In private?"

The black haired girl sighed before getting up and following the blonde.

It'd taken more time then she'd care to admit, but Yang had finally tracked down her partner.

At first, she'd thought that Blake had gotten cold feet; that made sense, we could always do it a different day. However, it became abundantly clear that it was more than just cold feet.

Blake was nowhere to be found.

That wasn't completely out of character for Yang's quiet partner; Blake was generally a quiet person, definitely an introvert instead of an extrovert. But this? This was completely different.

It wasn't 'she's just quietly reading in a corner' or 'she's off getting more books from the library', no. Blake just didn't want to be found. Plain and simple. Or at least that's what Yang thought until she spied her on a terminal in the middle of the library.

Which was why the two of them were going to have a little 'chat'.

"What is it Yang?"

"What is it?" Yang echoed back. "What happened to the plan? I got the room empty and you didn't ask out Ruby."

Blake gave a half-hearted shrug, not even meeting Yang's eyes. "Things came up."

"What things? Things more important than asking out my sister?"

"Yes." The immediate answer took a few seconds to sink in, Yang's eyes narrowing.

"Okay, so spill it." Lilac eyes sought amber ones, still not getting a solid eye contact. "You've been crushing on Ruby for like, two months, so what's so important?"

No answer was forthcoming as Blake rubbed her arms. "Important things that matter more than some stupid crush."

"Such as…?"

"The White Fang."

One of Yang's eyebrows rose. "We stopped them, didn't we?"

"No we didn't!" That got a response finally, amber eyes locking on to lilac ones. "We stopped something at the docks, but so what?!"

"Well Penny really did most of th-"

"Torchwick still got away and we have no idea what they are doing!" The near snarl on Blake's face compressed to a thin line. "That's far more important than asking out som-"

"Okay." Yang's face scrunched up for a moment before straightening out before repeating herself. "Okay."

"Okay…?" Blake parroted back, disbelief that this was all her partner had to say was clearly written in her expression.

"Okay, buuuut you should let us help you."

"It's not your fight."

Yang frowned. "It became our fight when you decided it was your fight."

"Bu-"

"I'm not gonna let you go out on your own, I know Weiss isn't, and I definitely know Ruby won't let that go." Yang let a small grin grow across her face. "Let us help you, the White Fang is more then what just you can handle, right?"

"I can do it on my own!" With that, Blake turned around and started to stalk back towards the library. "It's something that I ne-"

"Blake, aren't we all on the same team?" The small voice from behind Yang nearly made the tall blonde jump, as Ruby walked by. "We're a team, Blake, which means we should do it together, right?"

"Ruby! When did you get here?" Yang's mind was already fast tracking back to what they'd been talking about before, did Ruby overhear us talking about Blake's crush?

Silver eyes gave her a curious look. "Like when you guys were talking about the White Fang?" The eyes turned from Yang to Blake. "We're a team, so let us help you. Please."

At the very least, it got Blake to stop her trek. "I'm… I'm our team leader, and it's my job to make sure that all of us are okay. That we act like a team, that we are, um, a team. So let us help you, please?"

Yang couldn't help but feel proud of her little sister's mini-speech, I guess she has grown up from someone who just wanted to have normal knees! Yang watched Blake turn around, and give Ruby one glance, the argument was over. Blake's shoulder slumped as her eyes were drawn to her feet.

"I suppose it'd be better than just going solo." Blake looked back at them. "Do you really think Weiss will go along with this?"

Oh she will, of that, Yang was certain of.

AU: I AM SO SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO LONG TO POST A CHAPTER!

I promised I would do it every ten reviews, and we're nearly five times that… Let me explain;

Basically I posted that chapter, and went 'Wow, I should do another one on Sunday!' And then I had an insane work schedule and I may have picked up a shift or two and didn't get to write for a few days. By the time I got a chance to, it was Wednesday. I figured I might as well wait until the Friday update since I HAD TO REWRITE MY OUTLINE BECAUSE THAT ALSO DISSAPPEARED. The cons of sometimes using physical writing to plan stuff is that it can be lost.

So that's why it's been a good week plus since I last updated. Yup.

Some other things, I think this was the first chapter I have from Yang's POV entirely.

As to the last chapter; I honestly wasn't trying to troll you guys. I more or less realized that I had to push the white fang bit NOW because I had put it off far too long or do it even later which would have been worse. Hence why what happened, happened.

Next chapter will be out relatively quicker, probably Tuesday? That's what its looking like to me at least!

Acceptance update will be in a handful of hours!

Thank you for reading everyone, have a great day!
