A RWBY STORY

"Where is she?" Ironwood demanded slamming into Ozpin's office just as Ozpin was about to leave and check on Ruby. It had been three hours since Ruby was bought back with her head injuries and Arslan had already been healed thanks to her Faunus side helping her…Miss Rose though had just finished being healed.

"Who James?" Ozpin asked sighing as he looked at the General.

"Rose. A team from Haven claims that just after Ms. Belladonna's match against Mr. Black Ruby confronted him on his way to the locker rooms and damaged his leg!" Ironwood said scowling and causing Ozpin to frown.

"I'm afraid that they're lying James. Ms. Rose couldn't have attacked anyone in the last few hours." Ozpin said walking towards the door and causing Ironwood to follow him out of the room and down a hall.

"And what makes you so sure about that Ozpin? The team even reported that Miss Rose was listening to music at the time!" Ironwood said scowling and causing Ozpin to frown harder.

"They're setting her up and in return are only proving to be sore losers. Miss Rose has been at Beacon under supervision ever since about five minutes before the match ended." Ozpin said stopping just outside of the medical wing.

"And how are you certain?" Ironwood demanded causing Ozpin to scowl at him, which made him back up a bit.

"Because Miss Rose was attacked when she went to the fair grounds to meet up with Miss Altan. Ms. Altan rushed her back here and Ms. Rose has been unconscious this whole time…fracture in her skull and some brain damage I'm told." Ozpin said causing Ironwood to blink as he looked past Ozpin at the doors to the medical wing.

"She's just inside and has just finished being healed if you wish to see for yourself…that team are trying to stir up trouble using Ruby's unique condition James…in return it is their own downfall." Ozpin said before he opened the door and walked inside.

"How is she?" Ozpin asked the nurse who peeked out from behind a curtained off bed to see who had entered her domain.

"She's alive and should be fine…her head will be tender for a while and her skull prone to more fractures and breaks for at least another two or three months…she may have some memories lost due to the brain damage but it doesn't look like it'll affect her everyday life. We're trying to wake her up now." The nurse reported causing Ironwood to wince, he knew from experience how much head injuries sucked.

"Should be and are…those are two different things that almost never work together." A hoarse but amused voice said causing the nurse to spin around.

"Are you alright, little Rose?" Arslan asked immediately fretting over her tiny submissive.

"Define alright? Am I alive and still in relatively one piece? Yep…if I feel like I can get up and do the Hokey Pokey? Well not really but I'd give it a go!" Ruby said grinning slightly as Ozpin and Ironwood walked over and looked past the curtain to the young girl who looked smaller and frailer than usual as she laid in the oddly colored hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around her head.

"Well you aren't acting any differently than any other time I've had you in here." The nurse said with a small snort as she went about checking over Ruby, slowly and carefully under Arslan's watchful gaze.

"Come on doc. You know me. Heck I've been in here enough times that you actually labeled this bed as mine and decorated it for me." Ruby said with a snicker and causing the nurse to give another snort of agreement as Ruby jabbed a thumb up to the small rather unassuming name plate that listed the bed as belonging to Ruby Rose.

"That is because your aura seems to fluctuate at the worst possible times which gives you broken or at least fractured bones." The nurse said although she smiled slightly at Ruby who gave a sheepish grin in return.

"Ruby! Are you okay? We were just told!" Pyrrha asked rushing into the medical wing with the rest of her team right behind her.

"I'm fine. I just have to be careful of hitting my head for a while. What happened to me anyways?" Ruby asked looking confused as she looked around at the others.

"You don't remember?" Jaune asked worried as he approached her bed but stayed far enough away that Arslan's dominate instincts wouldn't kick in quite yet.

"Last thing I remember was leaving Headmaster Ozpin's office after being told that I couldn't fight in the singles match." Ruby said causing the nurse to frown but looked relieved.

"Well that's to be expected. A small bit of recent memory loss from the brain damage. From what I've gathered you went to the fair grounds and were attacked by some boys that were calling you a freak and psycho." The nurse said causing Ruby to blink for a few seconds.

"How long was I out?" Ruby asked looking out the nearby window to see the nearly dark sky outside.

"About three hours after arriving here. You got here at about 3 or so." Goodwitch answered immediately from where she was standing by the girls bed looking vaguely concerned but trying to hide it.

"I heard someone saying freak and psycho while waiting for you at the fair and went to investigate. I got there just as a brown haired boy in armor hit you in the head from behind. He and his friends ran off as soon as they saw me…and realized that you had started to bleed. I bought you here immediately." Arslan said although her hands started smoking slightly in her anger at her tiny mate being attacked.

"Hey it's okay! Don't worry I'll be fine. This isn't the first time that's happened…although it's the first time since I've come to Beacon." Ruby said smiling slightly as she placed a hand on Arslan's arm, causing the lioness to calm down instantly although she growled angrily at the thought of her little mate being attacked.

Arslan's next words caused those in the room to smile slightly, glad that she was obviously smitten with her small mate…although now everyone had a new 'title' for Ruby.

"Don't worry about that anymore little Rose. You are mine and I'm a very protective person…no one hurts my little gem."
