Hello, mates. Black Fuego here with another new story to add to the RWBY franchise: Petting Zoo. This story in particular is a novelizatin of a RWBY comic of the same name created by DeviantArtist Frasian, who's hand-drawn RWBY images are pretty good. All credit for this story goes to that talented artist over there, including the image used for this story, which is pretty cute, I might add. Expect these chapters to me much shorter in comparisson and no in it. Canon characters only for this fic. I hope you guys enjoy the story and I wish you all a wonderful day!

Disclaimer: I do not own the RWBY series nor the idea for this story, both belong to their respective owners. I do own a scrappy orange cat named Lola who loves to get into fights with the other neighborhood cats. It is also a boy…with a girl's name. Yeah…he really hates my sister because of that.

Petting Zoo Chapter 1: The Bashful Pet

"Hey Ruby… Do you think that Blake as any cat traits other than her ears and love for tuna?" Yang asked curiously, lying on her bed after a long day of classes.

"I dunno. Maybe…?" Ruby shrugged, pausing her polishing of her sweetheart for a moment to answer her sister's question.

The sisters of team RWBY were relaxing in their rooms shortly after their last class ended mainly because they had nothing else better to do. Weiss was out in town to talk to her sister at the CCT while Blake went to Tukson's Book Trade to buy some new novels for her collection. Bored with nothing else to do, the rose and dragon settled for lazing around in their room until they returned.

" You know… I always wanted to have a cat as a kid, and now we have a cat girl as a friend. Isn't that awesome?" Yang grinned, causing her sister to laugh.

"Yeah, I know! Say, do you think that she purrs if she's in a good enough mood?" Ruby asked excitedly.

"Oh I hope she does. I bet she'd like to be petted and scratched too, especially by the ears…" Yang trailed off, causing Ruby to stare at her curiously, before the blonde suddenly jumped off her bed. "I'm gonna do it."

"Do what?"

"I'm gonna go find Blake and pet her!" The blonde announced.

"Uh…are you sure that's a good idea, Sis? What if she doesn't like it?" Ruby asked somewhat nervously.

"Won't know unless I try!" Yang grinned before waltzing out the door. "I'll be back later after I find our favorite kitten. See ya Sis!"

"Uh…ok, Yang. Later," Ruby replied unsurely while waving goodbye before sighing to herself. "Great…now I'm alone. Guess I'll go and find Weiss. Wonder if I can see Winter if I make it there fast enough…"

-Vale, Tukson's Book Trade-

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tukson," Blake said with a small smile to the elder Faunus as she left the store.

"Of course. Anything for one of our own," Tukson said as he waved goodbye to the feline book lover.

Blake left the store in a good mood. Today has been a good day for her so far. Ever since the incident with Torchwick a few weeks ago she had been on edge, worrying about what that villain and her former associates the White Fang were up to, but today she decided to relax for the day, mainly because there was a book in the trade shop and she was really interested in getting it.

"Hmm…I've been wanting Xillia Lore II ever since it was released a few years ago, but it was so hard to find until now… I hope it's as good as its predecessors in the Lore series. Hopefully this will satisfy me until Zestiria is released…"

"Heya Blake! What's up?" Yang asked while walking up to her partner with a grin.

"Oh hey, Yang. Nothing much. Just found a book that I've been after for a while," The Cat Faunus explained while holding up the book she found before sitting down at a nearby bench.

"Oh that's good." Yang smiled, sitting right next to her partner, before giving her a curious glance. "Say…do you purr?"

"What…?" Blake questioned incredulously.

"Oh, I was just curious if you can purr or not. You know, since you a cat and all…" Yang explained nonchalantly.

"…I do, but only if I'm in an extremely good mood, which is very rare now thanks to all that's happened lately…" Blake sighed heavily. "I do have a few cat like traits, but they're not all that important to note, so I suggest you don't ask anymore."

"Eh, not a problem. I got what I needed." The blonde brawler grinned before she relaxed on the bench, "Go ahead and read your new book. I'm just gonna lay back for a bit and relax. Don't mind me."

Satisfied with her partner's actions, Blake opened her new book and began reading it. A small smile appeared in her face as she read, finding herself enjoying the book she obtained, when suddenly…

*pet*

"…"

Blake's eye began to twitch in annoyance when she felt Yang's hand on her head. While she'll admit that it felt good to have the blonde pet her, now wasn't the time, seeing that they were out in public.

"Wow… your hair's so soft…" Yang chirped happily, gently rubbing the Faunus's head.

"Yang…just because I'm a Cat Faunus with cat ears, doesn't mean that I like being petted…" Blake muttered, trying her hardest not to purr due to Yang's rubbing.

"Oh…ok then. Want me to stop?" Yang asked, her eyes twinkling in mirth and mischief.

Blake continued to glare at her partner, but a small blush began to form on her face. After a few more seconds she slowly looked away, the blush slowly intensifying, before making her response.

"…No."

"…Aww, Blake! You're so cute!" Yang gushed as she continued to pet her partner happily, causing her to blush even more and now fighting hard to not purr.

"Come on Yang, that's enough. This is embarrassing…"

Author's note:

And here it is! Much shorter than what I normally write, but should be as good…hopefully. Again credit for this story goes to Frasian over at DeviantArt, although I did extended it quite a bit. Now, while I'd like to write the next part of the story right now…I'll save it until I finish the first chapter of my last new story. My new story will not be set in the RWBY series, but the Persona series, and it will be called Persona: Genesis of the Fool. I'm greatly looking forward to writing my own rendition of Persona 3 FES/Portable, which will have both protagonist appearing in it along with an O.C. that will be a part of SEES. I truly hope that it'll be as successful as BLAD of RWBY and JNPR was. Thank you guys for reading and I'll see you again in the world of Persona!
