"Blake wait!" I called out to her. Today was supposed to have been a good day for me and my fellow Team members. The Festival would be in full swing soon and everyone was excited. However this cheerful event was beginning to be a real downer.

This whole mess began when we were taking a walk around the main city. Not long before we got to the city there was a robbery at a Dust shop. Then after that we saw a boy with a monkey tail run off as some cops were pursuing. Weiss said some pretty nasty things about that boy. Ruby and I then had to listen to Weiss and Blake have a seemingly endless debate about Faunuses. Ruby and I didnt know what to do. Later that night as the argument continued Weiss revealed to us why she hated Faunus.

"My family and the White Fang are at war. Actual war. They killed everyone close to me and a train full of Dust was attacked and the Dust stolen.." Weiss began. I listened as she continued on saying how annoyed her father was and he would always come home this way. To be honest this may not have been how Weiss said it but I really do not want to remember what happened. Blake spoke up in defence of Faunuses.

"We are not like that..its people like you.." Blakes words were lost as she sped off. Ruby tried to call her back however she ran off. I looked at Weiss and glared.

"What was that all about?" Weiss said. I ignored her as she began to put something together. "Wait Blake is one of them..a Faunus?"

Ruby didnt answer her. I believe she was probably as shocked and annoyed at Weiss as I was. How could she say such horrible,racist,prejudiced things towards her. Without looking back I ran as fast as I could. Blake didnt deserve this.

Blake eventually ran off until she came to a statue in the middle of the square. It wasnt easy to catch up to her because she was faster then I was. But I watched as I caught up. She reached up..

"What is she doing?" I mumbled as she suddenly undid her bow with a sad expression on her face. To my surprise I saw them. Two purple cat ears on her head. So Blake was a Faunus after all. I didnt know what to say so I kept walking. "Blake?"

She turned as I called her name. She had that look and she looked at me. "Yang? What are you doing here? Shouldnt you be mocking me the same way Weiss did?" She said a bit bitterly. Mentioning Weisses name made me clench my fists.

"No I wanted to make sure you were alright. Im sure Weiss didnt mean any of that. You heard her story didnt you?" Blake nodded. I sighed. "Blake I dont hate you because of what you are. I could never. You are my partner. So you should just come back to Beacon ok?"

Blake looked away not saying anything. But I could see her tremble. Tears were falling down her face. "Yang please..just leave me alone. I cant go back knowing Weiss will treat me like she treated that monkey tailed boy.." She wanted to go. I could tell. But I didnt let her.

"Please.." She begged me. I grabbed her gently and pulled her into a embrace. She tried to struggle and break loose but I would not let her. I couldnt let her go. Not after I waited for a moment like this for so long.

"Blake your my partner. I wont abandon you. Faunus or not. To me your still Blake Belladonna the best teammate I ever had."

At my words Blake managed a small smile. "I appreciate this Yang really but I ."

I shook my head. "Dont think about Weiss now. Im here for you and I wont let her continue to treat you so horribly." Blake blinked at my words. "So youll defend me..."

I nodded.

"I dont need you troubling yourself. I just need time to calm down. Sorry I snapped at you. This is just.." She lost it at that point and cried. I let her as I held her closer to me and nuzzled her. When I did Blake looked at me in surprise. " Yang why did you..."

Realizing what I did I blushed in embarassment. Why did I nuzzle her? However I had to tell her while we were alone.

"Why? Because even tho we have known each other for a short time I began to develope some feelings for you. I believe it began back in that forest when were were together and also at the temple. And it pained me to see you like this." I finally said looking away from her.

Blake seemed shocked by my words. "Yang you mean..you like like me.."

I nodded too embarassed to say anything. Blake seemed to be in thought. Then through her tears she gazed at me turning my head to face hers as she slowely and chastely kissed me. I blushed and pulled away. " Blake? Why?"

"Yang I kissed you because " She paused for a second then spoke again"Well I dont know why. You are the only one who seemed to care for me. Well Ruby did also but in the end you are the only one who came after me and tried to help me. Thank you Yang." She said with a smile.

"Its no problem. But is there something your not telling me kitty cat?" I said playfully as Blake blushed.

"Kitty Cat? Thats a odd nickname. " She said chuckling a little. Then she looked at me seriously. "Yang I..I love you too. I didnt want to admit it because I was afraid you wouldnt accept me because im a Faunus. So I kept it a secreat but now that we are here.."

"Blake like I said Faunus or not..you are still Blake Belladonna to me." I replied blushing when she confessed. In responce I held her closer and leaned in and kissed her more passionately then i had the first time. Blake closed her eyes and accepted it. I even reached up and touched her ears and I heard her sigh in content. Then she broke away.

"What?" I said kinda disappointed she broke the kiss. She looked at me. "Its late..we should head back now."

"If your ready." I said. "You sure youll be fine.."

Blake nodded. "You said it yourself that you would protect me.."

I laughed. "Yes indeed. The next time Weiss opens her mouth and degrades you shell find herself with my fist to her jaw."

Blake sweatdropped. "Um..sure?"

With that Blake and I walked hand in hand back towards Beacon. I didnt want to worry Ruby any longer.

As we left neither of us noticed the monkey tailed boy had shown up as he had followed Blake. He seemed disappointed at what he saw but he left seemingly.

But we didnt notice.
