Broken Apart Ch. 1: Prologue

What's up, another story. Rating story M for now, otherwise no other real things to address. Yes, the prologue will be shorter then the rest of the story.

Ruby wiped off the blade of her scythe, and looked sadly at the photo. It was only a month after they had gotten into an argument, and the former team leader still couldn't believe it.

All it was was a simple power dispute. Since graduating Beacon, Weiss had become more aggressive for the roll of team leader. Blake seemed to want to get away from team RWBY, while Yang and Ruby tried to keep them together. But Weiss had been called off to be the heiress for the Schnee Dust Company and Blake's stock for a Faunus ambassador had risen considerably.

Ruby and Yang had been powerless when they watched them leave. The two girls that they had spent four years relying on, gone. They left without a second thought. Ruby had fought so hard to earn Weiss' trust, and it seemed as though she hadn't earned it. Yang had instantly trusted Blake, and loved the way her partner complimented her style. But it seemed as though Blake wasn't on the same page as her.

It was a crushing blow for the sisters, but they had to keep together. All they had was each other, and a whole lot of Grimm. Ruby was actually wiping off her scythe from a Grimm attack, while Yang was showering.

The blonde brawler had finished up her shower, and she walked out towards Ruby. The sisters had been gifted a small, two bedroom apartment for them to use while being huntresses. Luckily, it had a shower that never seemed to run out of hot water.

"Hey sis," Yang greeted instantly. "What'cha doing?"

"Just cleaning off my scythe," Ruby said, sadness creeping into her tone of voice.

"Ruuuuby," Yang chided. Ruby sighed, and looked up at Yang.

"I miss them so much," Ruby said, sadness now filling her voice. Yang sighed, and wrapped her naked form around her sister.

"I miss them too," Yang replied. "But we have to deal with this. They had their chance to stay with us, and they didn't take it." Ruby sighed, and hugged her sister back. She wondered what they were doing at that very moment.

Schnee Manor

"Chin up, shoulders back, and walk," the instructor told her. Weiss walked down the carpet laid out in front of her, and looked as regal as possible. Ever since she had been called back to train more properly as an heiress, it was all boring formalities. How Weiss longed for a chance to be out fighting Grimm again. But, that was not what was picked for her.

Weiss didn't have the choices that her team thought she did. If she were to refuse the heiress training, then she would be disowned. It was only a few months, but those months might as well have been years. Weiss just wished that this wasn't her reality. Hell, at the least she wanted to suffer with her parents. But of course, they weren't there. Why weren't they there?

Faunus Negotiations

Blake was listening intently to the argument, but she already had her decision made up. No one could ever complete a good argument as to why they hated Faunus, because hate wasn't rational. She had heard the first words out of the mans mouth, and made up her mind. 'Faunus piece of shit,' wasn't exactly how you wanted to lead a story.

Since she had left her team, she had made almost no impact in the world of Faunus rights. It filled her with regret. She had abandoned her team for what? This? This minor squabble that was resolved within one sentence? Blake was frustrated, but she had to carry on with her job.

Divide and conquer, and it seems they have done part of the job for us.
