The Broken Man: RWBY Ruby X Male Reader

Chapter 9

Y/N POV

"Gah! Fuck!" I said as I looked down at the knife stuck in my chest. I fell down backwards, and moved in pain.

Two men were fighting in front of me. Shepard, a leader in the White Fang was on top of Price, my ally for hire on this operation.

I yelled in pain as I pulled the knife from my chest. Ignoring the pain, I looked Shepard dead in the eye as I threw the knife, the blade burying itself in his left eye.

His body slumped, and Price sat up.

"Jesus, mate you alright?" That's all I heard before everything went black.

Ruby POV

I sighed as I woke up alone in my room. I had Y/N's sweatshirt on as well. I swung my legs over my bunk bed and hopped down, looking around. The clock read 12:47.

I yawned, and spotted a piece of paper on the door. I walked over and picked it up.

Ruby, we've all gone out to lunch, but it is that fish restaurant you hate, so we left you here. We hope you go hang out with Y/N.
-Yang Xiao Long

I sighed and grabbed my scroll. I opened it and checked the locations of my team. Sure enough, they were at the nasty restaurant.

I jumped as my scroll rang in my hand. A call from Y/N.

"Hello?" I said.

"H-help." I heard a cough, and ... gunshots?" I quickly went into the bathroom, and got changed into my normal clothes. I picked up my scythe and put it in my back.

The TV was still on, and the news was playing.

"Outside of Vale, there is a large number of White Fang soldiers engaged in a battle with what seems like one man. This is exclusive footage from a airship passing above."

The footage showed a mass of White Fang soldiers rushing one man, being cut down.

"Oh no." I say aloud.

I once again grab my scroll and quickly call Yang. She picks up.

"Yang! There's a lot of bad guys outside Vale, and Y/N is fighting them alone!" I yell into the scroll.

"I'll be there." She says before hanging up.

I sat slumped against a tree as Price fought off the White Fangs. I dipped in between unconsciousness. I loosely held my pistol, firing at enemies who attempted to flank Price.

Blood poured out if my chest, a loose bandage over it.

Everything was a blur. I heard an airship above, and a minigun firing.

Next, I heard voices. Only bits of conversation.

Then everything was gone.

??? POV

"He still lives?" I asked Shirat. He looked at me nervously.

"Y-yes, S-sir."

"What were my orders?"

"To k-kill him S-sir."

With one swift motion, Just drove my blade into his throat. I watched as blood poured down and he looked at me.

"I do not stand for failure." I said quietly. His body slumped.

"Clean this up." I ordered my guards. They swiftly picked up his body and left the room.

"What a mess." I said as I looked at the puddle of blood.

Y/N POV

I knew I was close to death. I accepted that. I felt anger, as I hadn't eradicated the White Fang, but accepted my death as it was.

My life flashed. The mines, the death of my family, and more.

I felt a dull pain in my chest, and I felt as if I was floating.

I heard voices. Everything was black.

The voices sounded far away. They got closer, until I could make out the voices.

"He's gone. There's no heartbeat." I heard a male voice.

"Jesus. Poor kid."

I heard a beeping sound. Then I felt nothing.

Ruby POV

I curled up in the shower and cried non-stop. Weiss and Yang stood outside the door, begging me to let them in.

All I felt was sadness.

Y/N was dead. Bullet to the chest. I missed him so much.

My tears went down my face and onto the floor. The shower water made the tears disappear.

I had known Y/N for a while, and his death felt horrible. It was my mom all over again.

His gray hoodie lay on the floor outside the shower. I looked at it, tears still streaming down.

His hoodie was all I had left. The only memory.

Yang still pounded at the door. I heard a crashing sound.

"SIS. GET OUT HERE PLEASE!" She yelled before punching the door down.

"Oh no." Yang knelt down. I turned my head away.

"Hey, Oz is here. He's got something." Yang said in a soft voice.

"Come on Rubes." I slowly nodded and got up, still crying. I got dressed and left the room.

Ozpin stood at the door, holding a box. My tears started to dry on my face.

"Ruby, it is with my deepest regret to see you like this."

I looked down at my feet.

"This was the only belonging of his recovered. I hope you would like to have it." He said. He handed me the box in his hands, and I took it.

I opened the box, and it was his Desert Eagle pistol. Scratches marked the pistol, and blood was splattered on the grip.

I dropped the box and hugged the pistol to my chest. The metal was warm.

"I'm going to give you the week of school off. Everyone just needs time to grieve. I would know."

Ozpin walked off.

Third person POV

Y/N'S body sat in the morgue of Vale general hospital, an autopsy about to be performed. His body was wheeled out and set onto the table. The doctor there put on his gloves and picked up his scalpel.

Y/N's eyes shot open, and he took a deep breath.

The doctor jumped back, surprised.

"What the fuck!" The two said in unison.

A/N: I'm back boios, and ladios
