Again, bit of swearing here. One word I think though. Really not a lot. Enjoy.

"Yang. Can I ask you something?" Ruby was quiet, quieter than usual. Yang turned around, dropping her fists and trying to steady her breathing. She had been trying to get in some late night bag work because it was a Friday. What was Ruby doing here? She should be halfway through a box of cookies and retuning Crescent Rose by now.

Yang was more than a little surprised to see Ruby dressed in more casual clothes than she normally wore. She had tight jeans and sneakers on and a loose fitting shirt that slipped off one shoulder, it looked like it was a little too big for her. Yang could even see one bra strap clinging tightly to her pale skin. She wasn't even wearing her hood. But, what really caught Yang off guard was the furious blush dusting both of Ruby's cheeks, a bright, burning red.

"What's up Rubes?" Yang was still a little on edge from her workout and forced herself to breathe steady so she could give Ruby her full attention.

"Well, I have something and it's kinda weird. But I've been talking to people about it and they all told me that I need to just talk to you about it." Ruby clasped her hands behind her back and glanced around the room. Yang was struck with sudden realization, Weiss had told her about this, some talk Ruby had with Winter. Qrow had sent her a message about this, vague as always but it was becoming clear now.

"Ruby, I think I know what it is…" Yang had no trouble forgetting about the workout, a completely different emotion was fueling her adrenaline now.

"Really? How do you?" Ruby looked at her, confused, scared.

"Well, Weiss talked to me and Uncle Qrow." Yang didn't want to ruin Ruby's trust in them but she didn't want to lead Ruby on either, "I want you to know that I don't think any differently about you."

"Oh my Oum." Ruby pouted and sounded like she was about to cry, "How could they have talked to you? I told them it was so embarrassing and private and now they ruined it." Ruby turned away and crossed her arms. Yang reached out and grabbed her shoulders, pulled ruby into a hug from behind.

"It's okay Ruby. We can figure it out. I'm sure things will might be a little weird at first, but we've figured stuff out before." Yang held her close, not risking letting her go for even a second. This was just another thing they would get through, they were sisters and they would never leave each other, no matter what. "It's easier this way right? Not we both know and you don't have to say it."

"But what if it's too weird? What if-" Ruby choked on her words and Yang picked up for her.

"It won't be Ruby. We're sisters and I love you and we can figure everything else out as we go." Yang was nearly whispering she was so overcome with emotion but she knew Ruby could hear her. They were alone, it was quiet, they were so close. Ruby turned around in Yang's arms and wrapped her around Yang's waist, burying her face into Yang's shoulder.

"I knew it would work better because we're so close Yang." Ruby's muffled voice carried to Yang's ears. Yang really didn't care what other people thought, but she and Ruby would figure this out. They were only half sisters after all, and it's not like they would ever have children. It's possible too that Ruby's feelings would fade with time, or maybe just maybe that Yang could learn to feel them back,

"I don't know why you didn't just come talk to me first." Yang asked, still clutching Ruby close. She felt like if she let her go she might lose her forever.

"I didn't know how you would react." Ruby's voice was quieter now, "I was scared you would be angry with me or think I was gross." Ruby started to shake in her arms and Yang eased them down onto the ground, still holding her close.

"No, no Rubes. Of course not. I would never think that." Yang moved Ruby onto her lap, fully aware of the position she was putting them in but not caring, "I would have been kinda shocked by it, yeah. But no I wouldn't be angry over this." Yang kissed the top of Ruby's head, not caring what message it sent. Her little sister was practically crying in her arms and it was her job to make her feel better, however she could.

"Really? You're really okay with it ?" Ruby's voice gained some strength and she pushed away from Yang just enough for their eyes to meet. Her face was red and puffy from emotion, her eyes swollen just slightly and tears sitting unspilt in those silver pools.

"Yes Ruby," Yang leaned down slowly and placed a soft, loving kiss between Ruby's eyebrows. It was a motion she had performed countless times since Ruby was a baby and it was strange to think it had ever carried a different significance for her little sister. When had the change happened? When had she started seeing her differently?

"Okay, so I guess first we have to find a way to track her down." Ruby said, wiping at her face to clear her eyes.

"What?" Yang pulled back from Ruby in confusion.

"Yeah, Raven." Ruby cocked her head off to the side. "I can't tell your mom how I feel if I don't know where she is." Yang dropped Ruby off her lap as her arms went limp in shock. What?

"Ruby what do you mean?" Yang stared at her, slack jawed in disbelief.

"Yeah. Ever since you told me about your mom saving you on the train I've been reading about her and looking her up on the CCT. She's so amazing Yang!" Ruby began to gush, "I mean, she's been on her own doing nothing but killing Grimm for years and years. Plus, have you seen her weapon, it's like Myrtenaster on steroids." Ruby sadness was forgotten as her positive emotions took hold. Yang was left looking like a fool, gasping for air.

"But, I thought…" Yang stuttered.

"Wait," Ruby caught herself mid-ramble, "If you didn't know I was crushing on Raven. What did you think I meant?"

"Well Ruby," Yang was embarrassed now to say anything, "I wasn't uhh… The way Weiss and Qrow made it seem…. You see." Yang tried to gather her words together into a complete sentence. "I thought it was me." She finally whispered, feeling very much like she was the little sister.

"What? Yang eww gross!" Ruby gagged a little as she spoke, "How could you…? Oh Yang that's so weird. You're my sister." Ruby shook her head like Zwei trying to dry off. "Raven is only kinda like my half-step-mom. We aren't actually related." Ruby continued to list off all the different ways she had been misunderstood as Yang's mind reeled.

Ruby had a crush on Raven. Actually it sounded more like hero worship and one too many nights alone in the library with old yearbooks. She had no idea what a cold, heartless women Yang's mother was. This was just a little girl, putting a hero on a pedestal and thinking she had a connection because they were somehow related. But, what had been all those thoughts in Yang's head as she held the grief stricken Ruby to her chest.

"How were you okay with that? What did you mean we were gonna make it work?" Ruby was pacing in a circle now and addressed the last question directly to Yang's face, finally requesting an answer after a tirade of rhetorical queries.

"I don't know Ruby. I don't know what I was thinking." Yang watched as Ruby continued to rant and suddenly felt very distracted by that exposed bra strap.

A/N - Was that as good for you as it was for me? Because dang I enjoyed that. Wooo!

That's it folks, I refuse to take that thrill ride any further. What did you think though? Please give me your thoughts.

In regards to that Guest Review and maybe to answer some questions, even if it was Yang I was confused, what is closer? A Half-sister or an uncle? Hmmm... I'm really not sure.

Thanks so much for joining me on my magical incest tour. I hope you had fun at least.
