Hey y'all! Had an idea for an au where kid Blake and Yang meet in a kind of village or district place due to weissrabbit drawing an adorable and amazing picture of the bees as kids and I just has to. I don't know if I'll make it a one shot or have a few chapters... All depends on what you guys think!

Enjoy!~

"Get back here you filthy Faunus!"

Like hell I'm gonna do that. I kept running as fast as I could, clutching the cause of this chase as close as possible to me as the infuriated shop keeper hurried after me. This wasn't exactly how the plan was meant to be executed, but unfortunately security in the market had gotten tighter these days. Having said that, no one around was helping the shop keeper try and catch me, so a little luck was on my side. I quickly pushed down a few barrels I passed, hoping to slow him down. He must've learned from experience as he merely jumped over and continued to chase me. I could feel myself getting tired and my footing getting a little of course, causing me to panic. The idiot took advantage of that and threw something at me – an object that was made of glass or something as I saw it completely miss me at first but then shatter again a wall and I felt one of the shards scrap its way across my cheek.

"I'll get you, you little thief!"

Even if I wanted to reply, I couldn't as I felt myself being tugged by my sleeve and soon felt a hand overmy mouth. I struggle for a moment, but hear a voice telling me to shush, to which I did comply as I saw the shop keeper pass through the ginnel I was now hiding in. After a few seconds, his footsteps began to quieten down which allowed me a sigh of relief – well, it would've if there wasn't a hand covering my mouth. As if on cue, the hand releases me and I turn to see who saved me. She was tall, – too tall for her age I think – her bright blonde locks tied in two pigtails completely contrasted the dark alleyway we were in. She wore simple brown short sleeve top, similar to mine only more clean and wore black three quarters. She had matching black gloves and brown boots. I look up to her unnatural violet eyes, taken aback by their shine. She took that opportunity to speak first.

"Okay, cough up."

"Huh?"

"Cough up. What did you take that made him go crazy?"

She looks at me now with a stern look and her hands resting on her hips, as if she's ready to scold me. I didn't know how to go about this as I haven't needed saving from a robbery before. More to the point, I had no idea what kind of person she was. True, she's only a child, but what if her parents are police - Or worse - huntsmen? I feel myself taking a few steps back, holding my steal close. She sighs and immediately tried to wrestle it out of my hands, to which I fight back. She clearly had more strength than me and was able to take it, much to my annoyance. Once a little distance was between us again, she began to unwrap my steal, soon looking at it with a raised eyebrow.

"You stole this?"

"I was hungry…"

She looks at me, still with her eyebrow raised. I was certain she was ready to taunt me on my fail of a plan or the fact that I was a Faunus, which actually made me a little surprised that she hadn't yet. In fact, it was surprising that she actually saved me from committing a crime and was talking to me. I turn away from her gaze and close my eyes, tilting my head down a bit. A small silence brew among us but was soon replaced by a sudden burst of laughter. I feel my ears twitch as I look up to see her, now giggling at me.

"Let me get this straight; you ran half way down the market with a crazy shopkeeper running after you, all for a bread bun?"

I awkwardly scratched the back of my head.

"When you put it like that, it sounds silly. I mean, technically that's what happened yes, but there's more to it than that…"

She chuckles and slides herself down the wall of the ginnel, patting the spot next to her. At first, I hesitate at her offer, but soon set myself down once she gives me a reassuring smile. That was something rare to have.

"So what more is there?"

I pull my knees up to my chest, resting my chin on them and looking straight ahead.

"You could say I'm a regular…"

"Usually that means you're the favourite!"

"Well, if he liked both thieves and Faunus, maybe he and I would get along great."

She laughs again, causing me to let out a chuckle and feel a little more comfortable, only slightly. She didn't seem like she'd tease or bully me right now, but I kept my guard up nonetheless.

"I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times, but stealing is wrong so you shouldn't be doing it."

I let out a heavy sigh and lean my head against the wall. I had heard that, far too many times, but what else could I do? It isn't fair that humans are the only ones I've heard that phrase from.

"I didn't want to steal, but he wouldn't even let me in the shop. I had money! Look!"

I pull it out for proof, to which she just curls my hand over to cover. I was shocked that she kept her hands there for a moment, looking straight at me.

"I believe you, don't worry. The minority of people who steal aren't doing it for selfish reasons, and you fit into that minority. But if you've stolen from him before, what makes you think he'll let you into his shop even with money?"

"I'm not a regular at his shop; I'm a regular of the market. I always come here to… Well…"

I lift up my hands, showing her the money. Once I see that it clicks into her head, I put my money back in my pockets and lean back down from my former kneeled position.

"Don't you have a family? We're your parents? Brother? Sister? Half-sister?"

"I don't know…"

I look over to her to see a sympathetic look on her face. I've only known her for a little while, but I was certain that I preferred to see her smiling, so I decided to change tactic.

"Half-sister? That's a strange one to bring up."

"Yeah well, I have a half-sister! Loads of kids around her get confused by that, so I just say she's my sister. And really, she is cause we're like that her and I!"

She crosses her fingers, emphasising their close bond. I give her a smile.

"That's nice. What's your name anyway? I need to thank you properly."

"Yang Xiao Long's the name, saving kitties is my game!"

I feel my ears flatten. I was expecting her to say something sooner or later, though this didn't sound like an insult… At least not too much.

"Well then, thank you Yang for helping me back there. My name's Blake."

"Nice to meet ya, Blake! You know, if you'd like to, you can come back to my place! My parents are out for a bit and my sis will probably be asleep, but if not you can meet her and we can all hang out!"

Even though my ears are perked up in excitement, my overall feeling is shock. I sat there for a moment, a gaped by her invitation. I stutter out my words.

"B-but… I… I'm a Faunus…"

"Uh… I pretty much gathered that, Kitty. So?" Her eyebrow is raised again.

"So… I mean…"

Yang shuffled along the floor, placing herself right in front of me with a wide smile across her face.

"Look, I know humans and Faunus have some stuff between them, but I don't really care about that junk. I just wanna hang out with you. What'd you say?"

I stare at her for a moment, registering what she just said. She wanted to hang out with me? It was hard to believe. But there she was; the most kindest human I've ever met wanting to spend some time with a Faunus like me. I couldn't help but smile.

"I'd love to, Yang."

A squee of joy came from Yang and she began to jump around a little, making me laugh. Before I could lift myself up, she knelt down with a loud thud, causing me to shudder.

"One more thing…"

I was about to turn to face her but stopped dead in my tracks once I felt her lips make contact with my cheek. Yang pulls away after a few seconds, leaving me to stare at her with my mouth open and my cheeks burning.

"For your little booboo there, Blakey, that'll help it get better!"

I wasn't even given anytime to process my thoughts as Yang yanked me up from the ground and began to pull me down the ginnel, most likely the direction to her home.

"A-are you sure no one will mind?"

"Of course not! Even if my mom and dad come back they'll be happy to meet you! They're real nice, trust me. While were there, we can have a little snack! My mom baked some cookies for me and Ruby – that's my little sis' name by the way - and just this once, we can have the bread bun too. I doubt the shop keeper will care about getting it back now. And something tells me we'll have a lot of time to kill so you could even have a bath at my place! No offence, but you kinda stink and you look really dirty."

I feel a shiver run through my spine, my ears flattening at her proposition.

"I… I won't be able to stay that long…"

"Nonesense! You can stay as long as you want! Come on, it'll be fun!"

"Baths are not fun."

Yang turns back, stopping in her tracks to look at me, clearly suppressing her laughter.

"It'll be quick, promise! And to prove it can be fun, you can even play with my sister's bath toys!"

"I'm not a baby…"

"But you are a kitten!"

I roll my eyes while she giggles, continuing to lead me on. I didn't exactly have anywhere else to go or urgently be, and spending time Yang, a human practically dragging me to her home just to hang out was something I definitely couldn't and didn't want to object to. The only thing holding me back was the whole bath idea. But if she says it'll be quick, it should be alright. At least, I hope it will…
