"Blake, What the dust?!" Weiss couldn't help but raise her voice. Blake winced at that, her bow moving. The two girls once more hided behind the older faunus.

"Weiss, please. You're scaring them" Blake attempted to calm the heiress down. The schnee wanted to say something back at the older catgirl, but she glanced over those terrified eyes of the two younger girls. She let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry Blake. But...whats. I mean. Are those yours?" Blake eyes went wide as she shook her head.

"No, no, of course not. I saved them. They are orphans." Weiss opened her mouth to say something...but Then abruptly closed it. Her brain seemed to try and push too many ideas at once, and the Schnee heiress knew she would have a migraine later over it.

"Alright, well...good Job Blake. Now we can escort them to the local orphanage and call it a day. Its why you wanted for me to come, correct? So we could provide security?" Weiss raised her brow in question. At the sound of the word orphanage the two younger girls clinged to Blake, the older faunus hugging the girls more towards herself.

"N-No...I...I Can't" Blake lowered her eyes as she spoke calmly.

"Blake, alright. Lets for a while go with your refusal of giving them to proper authorities. What exactly do you plan to do? And what's wrong with orphanages. Its what they are made for. So that homeless kids can have a place to grow up." Weiss crossed her arms as she carefully watched the trio.

"You don't understand. Orphans in general don't... I mean they don't have much ahead of them. But faunus orphans? Weiss, look at these girls and ask yourself, do you want them to be thief's, robbers or...worse. In the future. Do you?" Weiss took a step back just from the sheer intensity of Blake's glare. The schnee looked to the side, a deep sigh escaping her lips.

"Blake, what else do you expect to do? Raise them by yourself? You're a huntress in training. You don't have time to babysit one child, let alone two." Weiss took a step forward, wanting to move closer to the faunus group, but once she saw the girls react...less Then happy about her intent, she stopped.

"I don't know. But I won't let them waste their life. I need your help Weiss. I need a place. But I...I Don't have money." Blake looked to the side, clearly ashamed of having to ask for anything out of the Schnee. It was blood money for the older catgirl. But at this rate she needed any money.

"So in the end it was about me being a Schnee." Weiss shook her head. "Look Blake I admire your golden heart. But..."

"Weiss." Blake suddenly interrupted her. "You said you wanted to show that your family isn't all evil, whatever someone understands by evil. I'm not trying to emotionally blackmail you. But, I ask you to show that what you say is right. I know it'll be hard. But I'll manage. This isn't something I can once more run away from. I'm just asking you for a loan. Once I'll be able to start earning money? I'll repay everything and whatever interest you'll tell me." There was desperation in Blake's voice.

Weiss was conflicted. Its not that she didn't want to borrow the money to the older faunus. But she was questioning her being able to handle herself like this.

"M-Miss." Both huntresses eyes went wide as the older girl stepped from behind Blake and looked directly at Weiss. "If you don't want to help me, please help my sister. Blake told us you would help. But if you don't want to help us both, please at least help my younger sister."

Weiss bite her lower lip. So they were sisters. And the older sister tried to protect her younger sibling. She wanted to sacrifice her own life for the betterment of the small cat faunus. Heiress looked over at the blue eyed girl. She was squirming behind Blake. Clearly not happy about what the older sibling was talking about, but not brave enough to stand up to the Schnee.

Weiss crouched in front of the bunny girl, a small smile on her lips. "How old are you? Both of you." She looked between both girls.

"I'm eight, and my sister is six, miss." Weiss and Blake shared a glance at each other. The Schnee stood up, her fingers reaching to grab the bridge of her nose as she gave a deep sigh.

"Alright Blake, I'll help." Weiss smiled at Blake and had to take a step back to retain balance as something hit and applied pressure against her legs. She blinked and looked down, seeing the bunny girl hug her legs.

"Thank you miss." She smiled up at her. And Weiss couldn't help but admire how cute the girl was with her ears all flopped back.

"You're welcome." Weiss smiled warmly at the small faunus, reaching out to pet her hair and ears lightly. Once she saw the girl enjoying her treatment, she decided to prolong it, as her gaze focused on Blake.

"Do you have some kind of plan. Or did plan consist of asking me for a loan, and then improvise from that point on?" Weiss raised a brow.

Blake smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head. "I thought you'd deny to help us."

Weiss rolled her eyes but her smile didn't disappear "Oh ye, of little faith. Well lets see where we could rent an apartment for these two." Blake couldn't help but smile at the sudden eagerness of her white haired friend. Perhaps she truly would change the Schnee corporation for better.

oooOOOooo

"What do you think about this one?" Weiss waved her hand at the interior of the small apartment. It was a two room, well maintained place with its own bathroom. The two rooms consisted of a living room together with an open kitchen, and the second room being a small bedroom with a single bed. The furniture was present, although it was clear this place was done in a very minimalist style, it would be enough for one person to live comfortably within its walls.

"It looks nice. I like that its bright here. Green and white. These girls lived too long in dark, murky places." Blake sighed and shook her head.

"And." Weiss started. "Its close to the skyport.

"About that, Weiss? Won't this place be expensive? I mean its great, actually a lot greater then what I had in mind. You know, I just had in mind some one room place so that they wouldn't need to hide in some basement or anything." Blake chewed on the inside of her cheek, she was glad for Weiss to find such a lovely place, and that she was eager to pay for it but... She didn't want for her white haired friend to spend too much money.

"Blake, us Schnee, we don't...how Would Yang say it? Half ass things. If we are to do something, we do it the best we can. Now I concur we agree that this place is enough and we can rent it, yes?" Weiss was already reaching towards her scroll.

"What about your father? Won't he notice? I mean...I Know I Asked you for this but I don't want you to get in too much trouble." Weiss sighed and looked away from Blake. They stood there in silence for a moment, before the Heiress decided to answer.

"Blake, you're right. About these girls I mean. We won't save them all. But these two girls, maybe we could. And I'll face my fathers anger if I have to." Blake's eyes went wide when she saw tears streak down the other girls cheeks. She wasn't sure what to do. First of all, they weren't "the" best friends. That would be Ruby when it came to Weiss. Second, Weiss wasn't really that comfortable with personal space invasions. She still tried to get over Ruby and her hugs. Third, Blake herself wasn't the best social person out there. Getting close to people was difficult for a few reasons.

But Blake did enough stupid things out of good of her own heart, another thing would just be added to the pile. She closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around Weiss, pulling her into a hug.

"B-Blake?" Weiss was surprise by the gesture. And from Blake's expression one would think that the same could be said about the cat faunus.

"Its just that you uhm...you Were crying so I..."

"So you decided to be my big sister?" Weiss smirked, to which Blake blushed and looked away.

"A friend." She mumbled quietly, making Weiss giggle.

"Thank you Blake." The Schnee smiled at Blake, but it was short lived, as soon she sighed and rested her head against Blake's shoulder. "It just reminded me of how cold it was growing up in my own house. When the working staff seemed more like family, then my own family. I just know how important it is to grow up and have people caring for you."

Blake nodded, she couldn't help but smile at Weiss. The Schnee proving to be quite empathic and selfless.

"Blake?"

"Yes, Weiss?"

"You can let go of me, I'm fine." Blake's eyes went wide in shock as she immediately let go of the white haired girl, as if she was on fire or infected with the plague. The movement was so sudden and quick that the cat faunus lost her balance and fell onto her back with with an audible "ow" coming from her.

Weiss couldn't help but laugh at that. "So since Ruby is a dolt, should I call you a clumsy goof?" Weiss grinned teasingly, reaching down with her hand to help the catgirl back on her feet.

"That depends, is it part of your ice queen routine to make pet names out of insults?" Blake asked, smirking back at Weiss. She tidied her clothes and look around if she didn't break or ruin anything in the room.

"Well that depends." That brought Blake's attention. She thought their little exchange was over.

"Oh? On what?" The cat faunus titled her head.

"If I like them enough." Weiss didn't look at Blake as she moved towards the door, leaving Blake confused in the middle of what was supposed to be the living room of this apartment. Was this Weiss way of saying they were friends?

"Blake, are you coming? We need to sign the papers and then get the girls here." Blake shook her head. Whatever it was, she was glad that Weiss would help her out.

"Right, lets go!"

oooOOOooo

Once the apartment deal was over, Weiss and Blake parted each their way. Blake didn't ask about anything, since she didn't want to intrude on her friends life. The girl helped her in the most generous way possible. She now had a very nice place for the girls to stay at.

Blake went to the hole where the girls were hiding, staying with them in the hideout till it started to get late enough so that less people would be around, and only then she escorted them to their new home.

She opened the door using her keys and walked inside with the girls close behind her, as they held onto her vest. Once she closed the door, making sure to lock them from the inside, she crouched next to the girls and wrapped an arm around each of them.

Both Sapphire and Pearl were eyeing the inside with big eyes. Amazed at how pretty it was compared to all these places they were in so far.

"This is your new home, girls. Its thanks to Weiss that we were able to get you girls here." Blake smiled to the two girls. Both of the siblings were surprised, looking at each other, then at the older faunus. It was Pearl, the white bunny girl, that spoke.

"I-Is it really where we will live now? And nobody will take us away?" Blake offered both of them a reassuring smile, shaking her head.

"Its where you'll live, yes. And no, nobody will take you away. Huntress promise. And huntress never breaks her word.

Suddenly she heard someone knock at the door. She tensed, she knew this was too good to be true.

"Girls, find a place to hide. Move, now" She whispered and pushed the girls to go deeper into the small apartment. She herself reached towards her weapon, and moved towards the door. She slowly turned the key, and opened the door, ready to face whoever it was on the other side. And then it appeared. It was fast, going in for the kill as it pushed against her.

Blake paused as she grabbed two fully loaded paper bags. The weight of those in addition to having them pushed into her, made her stumble backwards and onto the wall.

"Whooah, Blake, why the dust did you lock the door and leave the key in." Weiss let out a tired sigh as she closed the door behind her, eyeing the baffled cat girl.

Blake managed to take care of her attackers, as she settled the bags on the kitchen counter, turning around to face the Schnee. "Weiss? What...is This? And what are you doing here?"

Now it was Weiss turn to raise a brow in confusion. "What do you mean 'what are you doing here' I'm helping you out just like I Agreed to. What, did you think you just need a place to stay? You need food, you need some clean clothes for the girls, and don't get me started on having them clean. You can't just use soap. Well you can, but even then not just any soap..."

Blake tuned out at some point. She simply smiled as she listened to the background noise that Weiss became for her. It wasn't out of spite. Quite the opposite. She couldn't believe that the Schnee heiress would continue to help her like this.

"...So Now you know what I got. Where are the girls anyway?" Blake blinked at that, the question bringing her back to remnant.

"O-Oh, right." Blake turned around and eyed the room. She saw a pair of white ears sticking out from behind the small couch. She smirked and approached the hiding place they picked. Leaning over to peek behind it, she saw Pearl hugging her younger sister as they tried their best to remain undetected.

"Its alright girls, you can come out now. Its just Weiss." Blake moved away to join Weiss in the kitchen part of the apartment. She was quite amazed that the white haired girl was already in the middle of unpacking. She sorted all the products by taking into account the purpose of each one of them. Food, cleaning agents, clothes and other groups of products Blake wasn't too sure what they were for.

"Blake?" The cat faunus blinked and walked over to the Schnee.

"Yeah?" She inquired, thinking that the human girl needed help with something. Instead she saw her turn with concern in her eyes.

"Can you...cook?" At that Blake went wide eyed.

"Oh crap..."

oooOOOooo

It was amazing how far the technology went. You could just search out a recipe for a full course meal, and easily prepare it by yourself...

One burned kitchen and four attempts later, they decided that this time the scrambled eggs looked edible enough. The girls were quite happy with the food. But Weiss suspected it was mostly due to what their earlier diet consisted off.

After food Weiss insisted that they would clean the two and throw out the clothes they were in, and replace those with what she got. It was once again a challenge for both girls, as they did not suspect that cleaning someone else, or helping them, would be so difficult.

And then they decided to just sit down on the couch. The girls settling on Blake side, as both huntresses were exhausted. This was way more exhausting then any kind of training.

"Thanks again, Weiss. I really... I mean, when I asked you I would never think that you'd go this far to help me." Blake hugged the two young girls who were exploring their new outfits. They were quite baffled that they had a specific set of clean clothes designed to sleep in and just to sleep in.

"I told you once, and I'll repeat myself, its not an issue, Blake." The Schnee waved her hand dismissively. "Once a Schnee agree to help, we hold our word. And this is something I want people to remember when they think of my families name. Not greed and wealth." The human girl closed her eyes with a sigh.

"Don't worry Weiss, I don't think anyone in this room would think otherwise. Speaking of which, how about I'll make some tea?" Blake didn't wait for any answer, as she let go of the younger girls and stood up.

"I guess its too late for coffee anyway. Should I help you? Do you know where I had put it?" Weiss was about to get up, but was stopped by the older faunus.

"Weiss, its alright. I think I'll manage." Blake rolled her eyes with a smile as she moved towards the half kitchen.

Weiss settled back down, secretly glad she didn't had to get up. She then peered over the girls. She didn't want to be too pushy, she was sure they still wouldn't trust her. And didn't want to make them uncomfortable. It was when the younger cat girl looked up at her, these dark blue eyes looking at her that surprised the Schnee.

Well maybe not just the fact that they looked at each other. But when Weiss always heard about children, its how innocent they were. And she could see that in her partner Ruby. Perhaps not the best example, since Ruby was just two years older, but she had that childish innocence around her. Its what always made both herself, and the redheads sister, so worried about the youngest girl in their group.

But with Sapphire it was different. The quiet catgirl had this heavy look behind her eyes. Something Weiss couldn't fully grasp.

She tensed once she saw the same girl crawl towards her, only to claim her lap as the new sitting spot. The small girl wrapping her arms around the Schnee and resting her head against Weiss chest.

The heiress wasn't sure how to react at first. Although she finally settled to wrap her own arms around the little girl.

Yet it was Pearl, the older bunny faunus that spoke on behalf of the sisters. "Thank you miss for ..." She paused, not quite sure how to summarize it all. "...For Everything."

Weiss smiled at the bunny girl, and she was delighted to see Pearl smile back at her. She was about to say not to refer to her as miss, but simply use her name, but then a different idea struck her.

"And don't call me miss. I'm Aunt Weiss for both of you girls from now on." the Schnee could see as the older sister was a bit perplexed by her words. She frowned as she mulled the idea over, before smiling once more and nodding her approval of the idea.

"Aunt Weiss." The human girl looked down at the younger cat, only to find her staring up at her with a soft smile. Heiress took it as an agreement from her part.

"And you should start calling Blake the same way. Aunt Blake." Weiss nodded. Pearl tilted her head curiously, but didn't have time to ask anything.

"Huh? Good to see that you girls are getting along." Blake returned with promised tea. Settling back onto her old spot, she wrapped her arm around the bunny faunus.

"Aunt Blake." Pearl suddenly blurted out as she looked up at the older faunus.

Blake simply raised her brow at that. "Aunt?"

"Aunt Weiss told us to call you aunt from now on." the girl nodded a few times, a bit too eager which made her ears flop back and forth.

Blake simply looked at Weiss, to which she mouthed 'later'.

oooOOOooo

It didn't take long before both girls had fallen asleep. Weiss learned quite a bit about the small catgirl over such short time. She enjoyed being petted, and once she started to purr at having her ears scratched, Weiss had to use all her will power to simply not hug the dust out of the little faunus.

She looked over to see that Pearl also gave herself out to the world of dreams, as she laid, curled up with her head on Blake's lap. The older faunus simply stroked along the girls hair and ears.

"Blake?" Weiss asked, her voice soft and quiet, not to disturb both sleeping girls.

"Mmm?" Blake turned her attention towards the Heiress.

"How...did You find them? You said you saved them." Blake let out a sigh at that, closing her eyes and looking at the ceiling.

"Slavery." Weiss gasped and immediately covered her mouth. After making sure she didn't wake Sapphire, only then would she continue.

"But that's illegal." Weiss saw as Blake had to do her best not to burst out laughing. Once she had that under control, she shook her head with a smile.

"Come on Weiss, you're not Ruby. I could understand Ruby believing that once something gets illegal, it should not take place. But you?" The older faunus smirked, to which Weiss rolled her eyes.

"Why would anyone need small girls as slaves?" Weiss frowned. It was a bit counter productive, wasn't it? They weren't strong, and would be quite an issue to maintain two small children.

"Weiss? I don't know, and I don't even want to think about why anyone would wish to buy two little girls. And for your own sanity? I will recommend you not dwell yourself into that train of thought."

Weiss bite her lower lip. Blake was right. Whatever the reason, it was most likely something vile and disgusting. The Schnee shook her head, deciding to change the topic.

"We should get these two to bed. And tomorrow, as soon as they are up, we'll visit a doctor." Blake raised a brow.

"Doctor? Why? They aren't sick." Heiress frowned at that and looked at Blake as if she just said the stupidest thing.

"Blake, we need to make sure they are alright. If something is wrong, but its not yet visible, the sooner you'll discover it, the better."

"But they'll find out these two are orphans. They'll take them away." Blake clenched her jaw. While she understood the reasoning behind Weiss words, she would rather make sure the girls are safe.

"Oh don't worry, I have that covered. Doctors love money, and enough will make them not ask questions." The Schnee grinned.

Blake smiled back at her. Although not because of her clever idea. But due to the overall involvement of the white haired girl. And the faunus huntress had to admit, unlike herself, Weiss did have a plan on how to deal with this situation.

Who knew that the Schnee would bring something more then just her money.
