One would think being named the leader of your huntsman team in Beacon Academy was a tremendous honor. And most of the time, you'd be right. Being the one person your comrades in arms look up to for guidance is indeed awe-inspiring.
But of course, there are times when your teammates do things they shouldn't be doing, and ultimately it's the leader who has to take the blame.
Such is the case of one Ruby Rose.
"...ugh, another day...another load of headaches waiting to happen..." the red reaper grumbled from her bed.
Ruby honestly didn't even want to get up. She was certain that at some point during the day, someone on her team would do something stupid and rope everyone else in (more often than not, it's Yang) and then Ruby would be taking the blame for it simply for being the leader, and then had to sit through yet another detention issued by Glynda Goodwitch, scolding the victimized rose about "controlling her team". Maybe if she stayed, her team's antics wouldn't immediately be her fault.
'Then again if it happens again,, it's not like laying here will protect me from another detention with Goodwitch...', Ruby's mind traitorously reminded. With a huff of minor annoyance, she dragged herself out of her bed...and immediately remembered she had the top bunk.
A bit too late as her face collided with the floor.
"Oww..."
Ruby proceeded to slowly get up...and only now noticed the absence of her teammates. No Weiss to nag at her, no Blake reading her filthy smut, not even Yang and her atrocious puns. Upon the realization, Ruby froze and paled.
"Oh no...please no..." she fearfully whispered.
As fast as she could (Semblance included), she got her school uniform on, cloak and all, and rushed to the Beacon cafeteria, hoping to stop her sister and friends from ruining the day already.
At the cafeteria...
As Ruby entered, she almost immediately noticed the cafeteria's state as well as the students. And how could she not?
It appears the Great Food War had just had a sequel.
Drinks and foods were covering the majority of the walls. Tables flipped over and on their sides, chairs broken and lying around. Poor Cardin Winchester with a bloody nose next to a tray of mashed potatoes with said blood on it.
Though, the brutish bully was merely the first of many. Several dozen other students lay broken, beaten, and covered in delicacies. Velvet and Coco fuming about the gravy on their bodies. Jaune hanging from the wall by a swordfish. Pyrrha Nikos, drenched in soda, and unconscious.
Oh, and the professors of Beacon all suddenly turning towards Ruby, Glynda Goodwitch with her signature scowl on her fa-
'Oh Dust, what now...' Ruby internally lamented, as Goodwitch approached.
"Ah, Miss Rose. I see you've finally arrived at the disaster area." The debatably "good" witch said. "Have you come to celebrate your team's victory in trashing the cafeteria again? Or are you just here to accept another detention for failing to stop your team from doing it in the first place?"
Ruby just looked past Goodwitch, who started writing on her clipboard, and over near the end of the cafeteria, covered in food as well, was the remnants of Team RWBY. Weiss Schnee, not looking too happy. Blake Belladonna, looking as indifferent as always. And Yang Xiao Long, looking proud of what she evidently started.
'She's not even ashamed of what she did.'
Ruby was frozen. But not in fear. Not in shock. And not in glory. No, this was a rather new emotion stirring inside of Ruby Rose.
