"Come on Ruby! It'll be fine" A young woman spoke as she led her little sister down a path away from their palace.

"B-but what if we're attacked?" Ruby whined as she was pulled along by her sister.

"Ruby..we're just going into town...nothing is going to attack us"

"Why are we going into town again?"

Yang sighed as she placed one of her hands on her forehead "We're going into town to get you a faunus bodyguard"

"But why are we getting one from a slave post?" Ruby asked, her eyes showing sadness and confusion.

"Because...um...because.." Yang rubbed the back of her neck "Because they're cheaper in price..?"

"'Cheaper in price?'" Ruby tilted her head as an eyebrow rose "That doesn't make any sense to me.."

"Let's just hurry up before noon or else we will be attacked..by a mob of people wanting to touch me" Yang muttered the last part as the town began to come into view.

The loud bustling town was already in full swing by the time the two sisters arrived.

"Yang..why doesn't father just ban slavery?" Ruby leaned up and whispered into her sister's ear.

"Because he can't...not without the counsel's permission" Yang replied as they walked up to the slave post building "Well..we're here"

"But why not? Why won't they let him?" Ruby asked as they entered the building.

"Because they hate faunus and refuse to give them any form of recognition that they're a being" Yang replied with much disgust.

"Hello! Welcome to my slave post!" An old man with a beard walked out through a door and up to the sisters with a creepy smile "How may I help you?"

Yang stepped forward "My sister and I would like to buy a faunus to become her bodyguard"

"Oh yes, right this way" The man gave a creepy grin as he led them into a back room "We have many strong and trained slaves that can become a good bodyguard" He led the to a few cages that held faunus wearing collars and chains that freaked Ruby out as she passed them.

Suddenly Ruby heard a whimper to her right and stopped following her sister and the man to investigate the noise and did so quietly without them noticing her absence.

P-Please stop...s-stop" The whimpering began to get louder as Ruby got closer.

Ruby gasped as the sight of a faunus girl was curled up on the floor in a small puddle of blood "Hey, a-are you alright?" She rushed over to the girl but jumped back when the girl swiped at her with clawed hands.

"G-Get back!" The girl hissed out as she glared at Ruby.

"But y-you're hurt!" Ruby slowly walked up to the girl "Just trust-"

"Trust you?! Why would I trust a disgusting human?!" The girl hissed before yelping in pain when she was suddenly whipped.

"Ruby!" Yang rushed up to her sister and hugged her tightly "Are you okay?!"

The man from earlier glared at the faunus as he held up the whip "Dirty animal" He spat out.

"Roman! Get yer butt over here and tie up this damn girl!" The man shouted as he kept his eyes on the faunus.

"Wait!" Ruby jumped between the man and the girl "I-I wanna buy her!"

"What?!" The man and Yang said at the same time.

"You want this thing?" The man said with much disgust then tried to convince her of buying a different faunus "Why not someone else? I'm sure I can find another faunus for you to buy instead"

"No" Ruby said with an angry glare "I want to buy her" She jumped in shock when she heard the faunus girl gasp.

"O-Of course miss" The man gulped then turned to Yang "If you'll follow me, you can fill out the papers for her" He was obviously nervous in front of the two sisters. Yang nodded and followed the man out of the room while a man walked in with chains for the faunus "Roman, someone is going to buy the cat faunus so put a chain on her then bring her out to us"

Roman nodded and walked over to the faunus girl.

Ruby stood there watching as Roman yanked the faunus girl up then hook a chain onto the collar and began to pull her to her feet 'I know I should do something but he looks much stronger than me' She thought as she helplessly watched the faunus get dragged out before following behind them.

-Few Minutes Later-

Ruby kept glancing at the cat faunus while Yang was talking with the man in charge of the slave post 'I wonder if she's going to be okay..those wounds looked bad' She thought and let out a sigh 'She's kinda cute though, with those adorable cat ears'

The cat faunus flicked her ear before looking towards Ruby with a slight glare.

"Alll done" The man smirked as he held out a whip "Take this so you can punish her if she misbehaves"

Yang frowned "We won't be needing it" She turns towards Ruby "Let's get her home"

Ruby nodded and grabbed the chain from Roman "C'mon" She smiled at the cat faunus before gently pulling on the chain making the faunus walk behind her.

The two sisters and the faunus walk out of the building and towards the castle.

-The Castle-

Once inside the castle, Ruby turned towards the faunus "What's your name? I forgot to ask"

The faunus just glared at her, refusing to speak.

"C'mon, no need to be shy~" Ruby smiled

"It's Blake.." The girl finally spoke before flattening her ears and looking away.

"Blake.." Ruby mutters quietly "That's a pretty name!~"

Blake looked up at her in confusion 'P-Pretty..?' She thought with much confusion.

"Well Ruby..I'm gonna go tell dad that we got you a bodyguard" Yang smiled at her sister before walking off towards a flight of stairs "Remember, we're leaving in the morning"

"Alright Blake..let's get this off you" Ruby reached forward and took the chain off of the collar "Can't have you getting caught on anything~"

Blake blinked 'S-She took the chain off? Why? I thought she'd leave it on..not that I'm complaining...'

"Ruby~" Ruby turned around just as she was tackled to the ground and hugged tightly "You're home!"

"Velvet!" Ruby smiled brightly as she hugged the rabbit faunus back.

Blake's eyes widened as she saw the rabbit faunus, Velvet, hugging Ruby 'Another f-faunus?' She then noticed that Velvet wasn't wearing a collar like most faunus do.

Velvet looked up and smiled at Blake "Hello!"

Blake stared at Velvet with her head tilted.
