Ruby Rose was not afraid of many things. She was a fearless huntress extraordinaire; wielding a weapon easily larger then herself with an easy that even the older students of Beacon Academy could only view with jealousy. She had decapitated a Nevermore, faced hordes of beowolves and dealt with Weiss failing a test.

Yet, as she watched a few of Yang's strands of hair float to the ground, she couldn't but help feel a shot of fear. Not fear for herself, no, Ruby was wise enough to not cause that. Rather, she was quite afraid for the one holding the cutting tool. Blake Belladonna.

By no means had Blake intentionally cut off her partner's hair, at least Ruby hoped, accidents do happen during friendly sparring practices after all.

The yellow strands of hair floated to the ground, silence engulfed the room. All eyes on Yang as her face morphed through several expressions; shock, sadness, betrayal and finally anger.

Ruby was very scared now for Blake. Sure, Blake wasn't her partner; heck Blake was the person by all means Ruby should know the least on her team, after Yang and Weiss. However Blake and Ruby had grown closer over the past few months, perhaps closer than Ruby was to Weiss. Ruby didn't want to see her friend get hurt. Besides it was her duty as a team leader to do something.

Blake was confused as she seemingly teleported away from the training room. Or why Ruby was carrying her. Wait…what?

"Ruby? Wha-"

Ruby shook her head, "Talk later hide now!" followed by a burst of speed. Right, Ruby's semblance is speed... what are we running from?

Blake cocked her head, why would I need to hide? "H-hide?"

CRASH!

Even without Blake's faunus ears, she could have been able explosion of a door being busted off its hinges. "Wha-whats going on?"

The girl didn't respond as she swerved through a corner, not quite successfully, bringing Blake with her as the two tumbled into an open door. It wasn't a particularly big room, in fact it was positively small, in essence a broom closet.

Ruby scrambled up, slamming the door close, the room went dark. Well, not dark for Blake; she could see in the dark after all. As Blake slowly pulled herself up, she watched Ruby put her ear to the door.

Waiting. Listening for something or someone?

It didn't take long for Blake to figure out who it was, when she started to hear the loud clack clack of boots on the hallway floor, a very familiar sound to her. Especially given that it was the sound Yang's boots made.

Around this point the events were starting to catch up in Blake's brain. Why are we hiding from Yang? Last I remember we were sparring, and then….and then…. The yellow hair falling the ground flashed back to Blake, …oh.

"You're safe, she's gone now." Ruby's quiet voice filled the small room.

"Is she always like that?"

Ruby nodded, "Yup, never mess with her hair, only bad things will come of it." Even in the dark, Blake could only describe as a 'thousand-yard-stare' in the red themed girl's eyes.

Shaking the sight out of her head, Blake opened the door, "Well, let's get out of her-"

It didn't budge.

They were locked in the closet.

AU: I actually have a plan for this. Like, legitimately I have a plan for this. Multi-part bit. Yes I know that this could totally be done in one chapter, but I write Dilation in small bits usually.
