Her Guardian Chapter 1, a rwby fanfic

A/N: This is a small project that Dixie (Dreaming-Paradise) or DreamingParadise14 (on Ao3) and I are collabing together. I will state which chapters Dixie wrote and which I wrote (though if I forget, it's usually odd numbered chaps for me and even numbered chaps for Dixie). Updates will be on and off as we're working on our own fanfics, but hope that y'all enjoy!

Chapter written by Sev

"You'll be fine, Weiss. Look at all this work that you've done! I'll have a… special prize for you when you return home." Ruby giggled seductively as she wrapped her arms around her wife and gave her a deep kiss for luck.

"Ruby…" Weiss sighed as she rested her hands on Ruby's hips. "I'll come back home. I promise ."

"Weiss…" Ruby sighed. It's been three days since Weiss came home. This was a longer battle than usual, but Weiss did warn her that it would take up to a week if things went wrong. If things went according to plan, then she could come home by the third night. "I miss you… I hope you'll be back tonight..."

"Ruby!" The angel looked up. "It's your wife!" She felt her blood run cold.

Ruby was in disbelief when she heard the news and rushed towards the battlefield. The battle ended by the time she got there and she ignored everything. Ruby didn't care of what the other angers were saying, she needed to find her special angel.

"N-No…" Ruby gasped as she saw a few angels standing guard while they were about to transport the white haired angel out. "S-Stop!" The red angel gasped as she rushed forward and scooped up the white haired angel covered in blood, not caring if she soiled her own clothes. "You promised…"

It couldn't be happening. What she's seeing and feeling just couldn't be real.

But it was.

There her wife, Weiss Rose, was laying within her arms, lifeless. Ruby stared blankly as she held her wife closer and shook.

She couldn't feel Weiss' breath.

She couldn't feel Weiss' pulse.

Weiss' soul... was gone.

"Weiss…" Ruby clung onto her wife's body desperately while letting out a devastating wail.

There was no way that Weiss could be dead! Yet the horrifying truth was laying in her arms. Ruby felt unwanted presence approaching and she glared up at the other angels. When they tried to take Weiss' body from Ruby, the young angel hissed and moved away.

"Don't touch her!"

"Ruby, please. We need to take Weiss Rose's body so she'll be able to-" A red haired angel reasoned.

"I said 'Don't touch her!' Pyrrha! Weiss is still alive!" Ruby growled as she clung onto Weiss, sobbing onto her shoulder.

The other angels looked at Ruby with concern before a black haired angel moved forward. "Ruby."

Ruby ignored her and backed away. "Blake, Weiss is still alive…!

"Ruby, listen. If you keep this up, then you won't be able to see Weiss again." Blake stated calmly as she moved forward.

"Well good riddance, I'd say." A blonde angel huffed as she landed next to Blake and folded her wings.

Blake narrowed her eyes as her partner, not trusting what the blonde would do. "Yang."

Yang merely rolled her eyes as she approached her sister who still clung onto Weiss. "Y-Yang… don't…!"

"Ruby, let her go. You're making a fool of yourself already." Yang grabbed Ruby's arm and pulled her up roughly.

"Ahh!" Ruby struggled to keep Weiss in her arms but Yang shoved Weiss' body onto the floor while keeping her younger sister away. "No! Weiss!"

"Weiss is dead! Get that through your head!" Yang yelled, her eyes glowing red as she gripped harder on Ruby's arm.

Ruby stared at Yang in shock.

"Y-Yang…?" Tears fell from Ruby's eyes, her voice filled with betrayal. She knew that Yang never approved of their relationship. Ruby had seen Weiss and Yang butt heads a few times before, but to go this far?

Ruby couldn't believe the look that Yang was giving her. Never in her life had she seen her sister look at her like that . Eyes cold and uncaring. It was almost as if Yang wasn't looking at her but at Weiss.

"Y-Yang… Weiss is-" Ruby pleaded but was interrupted by the blonde angel.

"Dead. She is dead !" Yang growled again then looked at the other angels. "Get that bitch out of here. I don't want to see her again." She grabbed Ruby's arm again. "I'm taking Ruby home."

"No! I'm not going home without Weiss!" Ruby struggled against Yang's arm. She scratched, punched, and kicked her sister away but stopped when she felt the blonde's grip tighten around her arms and was forced to see the other angel's carry Weiss away.

"Weiss is dead. Get that through your head, Ruby!" Yang growled.

Tears fell from Ruby's eyes as she saw her wife leaving her. "N-No… she promised…" She whimpered. "S-She promised that she'd come home…"

"Ruby…" Pyrrha sighed as she walked up to her and bent down to look into her eyes. "Listen… I need you to make a choice for me."

Ruby sniffed as she looked up at Pyrrha pleadingly. "Please don't take her away… Please..."

It broke Pyrrha's heart seeing Ruby like this, but she had a job to do. "I… it'll be up to you." She frowned as she saw Ruby perk up a bit. "Would you like her to be reincarnated as an angel again? Or be sent to Earth? Unfortunately…" She looked away, not wanting to see the look on Ruby's face when she told her the news. "Weiss won't remember you, no matter what you choose."

"I… N-No… no…" Ruby shook her head. Weiss could live again, but at the cost of her memories? But at least she would live again. Right…? "I… g-give me some time…"

"You have until tomorrow to decide." Pyrrha nodded and took a few steps back to fly away.

Ruby sighed as she went home. She locked everyone out so that she could process what to do. Slowly, she looked at every one of her and her wife's possessions. All of the achievements her wife has done throughout the years. She smiled remembering how proud Weiss was when she was rewarded with an achievement as she sunk down onto their couch.

It was cold. She flopped down onto her side, still able to smell Weiss' perfume on her spot.

Ruby cried as she clutched her shirt over her heart and thought of what Pyrrha said.

'It'll be up to you. Would you like Weiss to be reincarnated as an angel? Or be sent to Earth?'

She wanted Weiss to come back to her side again. She wanted to feel and hold her wife again.

'Unfortunately… Weiss won't remember you, no matter what you choose.'

Ruby sobbed harder. Could she stand having Weiss around but not remember her? Would Weiss be annoyed with her if she was clingy? Ruby held onto her shirt tighter. No, she couldn't do that. She didn't want to annoy Weiss and burden her with the job of being an angel. Weiss was a high ranking angel, there was no way that she could catch up to all of her work. Even then, Ruby couldn't stand seeing her die again.

"I guess… there's only one choice…" Ruby sniffed as she forced herself up. She looked around the room for a moment and wiped her tears away. "Weiss… I love you… Please… be happy wherever you'll be reborn..."

The red angel slowly walked out of her home and was about to take off but saw Pyrrha already there. "P-Pyrrha…?"

"I wanted to check on you." She frowned. "I'm sorry. You lost your wife and-"

"C-Can you send Weiss to Earth?" Ruby shook her head. She needed to get that off her chest before she regrets her choice.

Pyrrha stared at Ruby for a moment then nodded slowly. "Alright." Pyrrha placed a hand onto Ruby's shoulder. "Weiss loves you. Always remember that."

"If she did, then she would've came back to me…" Ruby frowned as she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Ruby." Pyrrha apologized again. "At least she can live again."

"Live a life… without me…" Ruby frowned.

Ruby locked herself in her room. She clung onto Weiss' pillow stubbornly as she sobbed softly into it.

It has been three weeks since Weiss' death and Ruby didn't want to sleep. The good memories of Weiss waking her up haunted her each morning.

"Come on, dolt. It's time to wake up." Soft lips giving her skin feather like touches. "I made you some cookies. Wouldn't you like to spend the few hours cuddling and eating cookies with me before we have work to do?"

The lack of smell of her beloved's sweets brought her back to the harsh reality. To this day, she could swear that she can still hear Weiss' voice and feel her touch.

"Hey, Ruby!" A voice called for her.

Ruby groaned as she covered her face with Weiss' pillow.

"Ruby! I know that you're home!" The same voice shouted as he knocked on the door again.

Sighing, the red angel finally got up and slowly trudged towards the door. She slowly opened it and frowned seeing Jaune.

"What do you want?"

"I have a job for you." He gave her a weak smile while scratching the back of his neck. "I uh… this job seems kinda much for me and you've been out of a job so can you be a guardian for me?"

Ruby just started at Jaune. "Why me?"

"You've been hiding out here for weeks. You should get out a bit. See the world. It'll help get your mind off Wei-" Jaune explained but was interrupted.

"You just want me to forget her?!" Ruby growled.

"I didn't say 'forget'! We're all worried about you!" Jaune frowned. "Just… for a day or two. See how you like this job. If not, I'll ask Blake or Pyrrha to take it."

Just do it. You can't keep waiting for me forever, Ruby .

Ruby sighed as she clutched Weiss' pillow. "Fine… I'll take the job."

Jaune smiled as he patted her back. "Thanks Ruby! Just go to this location."He handed her a piece of paper. "Be this person's guardian. It'll be fine! I promise!"

"Shut up." Ruby frowned and went to place the pillow onto the bed then grabbed her cloak. The red angel shoved Jaune away and left for Earth.

"Stupid Jaune and his stupid request for me to take this job. Why the hell should I-" Ruby grumbled to herself then paused when she appeared in a mansion, standing before a baby crib, staring at a baby... the person she was asked to watch.

A newborn baby of 9 months with a small tuff of white hair stirred when it sensed someone nearby. Silver eyes met with innocent blue and she felt her heart swelling with joy as she heard the baby's happy giggles.

"N-No… A-Are you really...?" Ruby was in disbelief then saw the picture of a mother cradling the baby and their name's under it.

Willow and Weiss Schnee.

"Y-You're…" The red angel cried tears of joy seeing Weiss again as she slowly approached her.

The baby giggled and reached for Ruby. She smiled as she grabbed Ruby's fingers and held onto it.

"I'll keep you safe. I promise."
