The Cursed Heart and The Hopeful Light: Ruby Rose x Male Human(RWBY)

Scorpio

I was over this. We never stopped moving unless it was to sleep, and we blew through every town we came across. The only bearable parts were not letting my semblance bring Grimm to any towns and sleeping with Ruby every night. We were moving into an abandoned town now, and just by the looks on everyone's faces(except Ranger) I could tell we were all tired.

"Haly?" Asked Ruby.

I looked over to Ruby and saw her watching the rooftops of the forgotten buildings.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"It feels like we're being watched," said Ruby.

I looked over the rooftops myself, but saw nothing. Even so, I knew what she meant. It did feel as though someone was looking on us from afar. I looked back to Ruby, right as she started to fall down. I instantly caught her, with Ren quick to come help us.

"Is she alright?" Asked Ren.

"I'm fine," said Ruby.

I looked back up to Ranger, who hadn't even stopped, no one else stopped. I grimaced, knowing we needed to talk some sense into Ranger. I handed Ruby to Ren for a moment, and walked up to Ranger.

"We need to stop for the day!" I exclaimed.

Ranger halted her march, and turned to face me.

"I'm sure I can speak for everybody by saying we need a break from this!"

"We need to keep moving. We need to get to Haven," said Ranger.

"You are running us into the ground! We are all exhausted and at this rate we'll be too tired to fight if this keeps up," I tried to reason with her.

Ranger got within an inch of my face, with nearly no expression beyond an angered scowl.

"If we don't keep moving, we run the risk of endangering ourselves too greatly," declared Ranger.

"And if we don't stop, we won't make it to Haven," I declared back.

The tension between us was never higher than this.

"Please! It would be such fun if you stayed a while," called out a voice.

We looked around the buildings for a moment, before a figure appeared from the shadows, knocking Ranger away with his large scorpion tail. I jumped back as my chain and gun flew to my hands, ready to fight this bastard head on. He looked absolutely demented, with twin axe blades on each arm and a large scorpion tail. The man charged me first, but my chain was just as fast as he was. I couldn't believe it however, when he was quickly overpowering me. With no idea what exactly happened, I was thrown against a building. The man advanced on me with his stinger ready to strike.

"You did quite the number on Cinder. I'm sure my master will be delighted to know I eliminated you when she could not!" Laughed the man.

Before any blows could be struck against me, a white and black clad man with a large sword kicked the Faunus away from me.

"Qrow?!" I exclaimed.

"Get back on your feet kid, this isn't the time to fuck around," he told me.

I ran back into the fray and attacked the Faunus. Our team all had weapons drawn but Qrow must've had other plans.

"You all stay back!" He shouted.

Ruby pulled out Crescent Rose and ran in behind us.

"I'm fighting with you guys!" Exclaimed Ruby.
