Salutations my friends and welcome to another Chapter of "Tiger Among Hunters." Like my previous story, it'll take place during Shining Beacon, but there will be a few changes. Enjoy, and don't forget to leave a comment!

Chapter 2: Welcome to Beacon

As soon as all of the students left the airship, they walked their way towards the entrance of Beacon Academy. Meanwhile, a girl no older than fifteen was gushing over the weapons that the students carried. She had black, neck-length, choppy hair with dark red highlights, fair skin, and silver eyes. She was rather small and stood at a height of 158 cm (5'2"). Her outfit consisted of a long-sleeved thick black blouse with a high collar and a red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a black skirt with red trim.

She also wore a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver brooch and is pinned to a wide black belt that slung around her hips on an angle, which also carried bullets and a pouch.

"Oh wow, that kid has a collapsible staff! Ooh and she's got a fire sword!" The red cloaked girl squealed, drooling over the deadly weapons that were being carried around, but was pulled back by someone.

"Easy there little sister, they're only weapons." A young woman no older than seventeen told her as she held her back. She had long, golden blond hair, lilac eyes, fair skin, and a well-endowed bosom. She was also taller, standing at a height of 173 cm (5'8"). Her outfit consisted of a tan leather jacket that exposed her lower abdomen with short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs. Underneath the jacket was a yellow crop top and she wore an orange scarf wrapped around her neck, black fingerless gloves with black mini shorts to match her outfit, yellow bracelets on her wrists, a brown colored belt, and brown knee-high boots.

"Only weapons?! Yang! They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh they're so cool!" The silver-eyed girl gushed as she addressed the young woman as 'Yang.'

"Then why can't you drool over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"

The scarlet clad teen quickly unfolded her scythe and said. "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones, it's like meeting new people...only better." She muttered the last part.

Yang giggled a she playfully pulled smaller girl's hood over her head. "Come on Ruby! Why don't you go make some friends of your own?"

"Why would I need friends when I have you? The girl known as 'Ruby' asked innocently while pushing her hood back down.

"Well...myfriendsjustgottheregottacatchupbye!" Yang said in a hurriedly fashion as she dashed towards the people she knew from Signal Academy, leaving Ruby in the dust.

"Wait! Where are you going?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms!? Do we have dorms? Where are our dorms? I don't know what I'm doing..." She fell backwards into a trolley full of white suit cases.

"What do you think you're doing?!" The owner of the trolley demanded. Ruby sat up to meet the owner of the trolley. It was a young girl around Yang's age with pale skin, snowy white hair that was tied in an off-center pony tail, icy blue eyes, and a scar over her left eye. She wore a white bolero jacket hat matched with a thigh-high dress. Underneath the jacket were red sleeves. She also wore an apple-shaped necklace along with a pair of thin, rectangular shaped ear piercings. On her feet were white-heeled wedged boots that reached her mid-calf, and wore a small tiara on her head that resembled icicles.

"U-Um...sorry!" Ruby stammered.

"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?!"

"Umm..."

"Gimme that!" Shes snatched the case from the crimson-clad and opened it. "This is Dust: mined and purified from the Schnee quarry!"

"Uuuhhh..."

"What are you brain dead!?" She took a vial of red dust from the suit case and snapped it shut. "Dust: Fire, Water, Lightning, Energy!" She lectured while shaking the vial at Ruby, causing red dust to fill the air.

"I-I know..." The red-cloaked girl began to cough from the red powder in her face.

"Are you even listening to me?! Is any of this sinking into that thick skill of yours!? What do you have to say for your-?!"

Then out of the blue, a new sound filled the air that made the white haired girl stop her rant.

"...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH~!"

CRASH!

A figure fell from the sky at breakneck speed and crashed into the concrete floor, causing the ground to shatter and a shockwave to blast out, knocking the girls back several feet. Dust and concrete flew everywhere. As Ruby and the white-clad girl got back to their feet, they walked back to their original position and saw something rather...peculiar. It was a hulking man lying unconscious in a huge crater for some strange reason. There was a nasty bruise at the bottom of his jaw and all of his teeth were broken. Both his arms and legs were pointing in directions they shouldn't due to the impact from the fall. He basically looked half dead.

"W-What...what just happened?" Ruby questioned, not able to recall with what happened.

"See!? This is exactly what I was talking about!" The white-clad girl shrieked. Suddenly, a new sound boomed forth through the air. A sound that made their blood run cold.

"ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR~!" An earsplitting roar that filled the air with dread, which was so strong that it created shockwaves that blasted everyone clean off their feet and tore through their eardrums, prompting them to cover their ears. The roar sounded much like a Tiger's roar, a roar that was filled with so much rage, bloodlust and ferocity. The frequency of the roar was so powerful that it traveled far beyond the horizon. Later, screams of agony along with the sound of claws and teeth tearing through flesh flooded their ears, snapping them out of their shell-shocked state.

The girls got back on their feat and went to follow the source of the cries of agony while trying to get past the crowd. As they get further, the crowd started to get thicker and thicker, and when they arrived at their destination, they froze.

The ground was littered with unconscious bodies of young men. They were heavily bruised, battered, and their limbs were pointing in odd directions. Their clothes were also torn with blood staining the concrete from the claw and bite marks on their skin. There was also an unconscious young woman that basically go the worst beating out of all of them. She had numerous claw marks and bite marks that were so deep that blood poured from the wounds, forming a pool of blood around her, had several cuts on her face with a huge gash on her forehead, her hair torn off her scalp, and her face was nearly ripped off. However, their chests were slightly moving, indicating that they're not dead...yet.

What stood over the half-dead bodies was a tall and muscular young man. He had spiky, shoulder-length orange hair with black stripes, tanned skin, and bright yellow eyes. He wore a black vest that was made from lizard skin with gray fur trimmings, black cargo pants, and black combat boots. His accessories consisted of a long, tattered, blood red scarf wrapped around his neck, two golden earrings on his right ear, bandages wrapped around his hands, and a necklace made of dragon scales.

But it wasn't his outfit that caught their attention. He had Tiger ears on top of his head, a long striped tail that was swooshing back and forth violently, ragged black markings in his body that resemble tiger stripes, two jagged black stripes on each cheek, and razor sharp fangs. They correctly assumed he was Tiger Faunus, but something about him disturbed them. He glared at the bodies in a animalistic manner, with his eyes gleaming an eerie yellow glow, his feline pupils narrowed into thin slits, and his face twisted into a truly murderous snarl, fangs bared, ears reared back, and razor sharp claws unsheathed as a deep, guttural growl rumbled from his throat.

Blood stained his fangs and was dripping from his deadly claws, which tells them that he was the one who sent the hulking brute flying and viciously mauled the group of fourth year students.

Ruby gasped as her hands that slightly trembled were placed over her mouth. She had never seen anything so...brutal, so violent. The white-haired girl, on the other hand, shook violently out of pure rage.

"SO HE'S THE BRUTE THAT NEARLY SENT THAT MAN FLYING INTO MY DUST! WHY I OUGHTA!-"

Her furious rants were silenced as she felt a hand grab her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw a young girl the same age as her with amber eyes, fair skin, and long wavy black hair. She had a ribbon tied in a large black bow on top of her head and wore purple eyeshadow. Her outfit consisted of a black unbuttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button in front. Underneath was a white, sleeveless, high necked cropped undershirt and white shirts with a zipper in front of each leg. She also wore black low-heeled boots and full stockings with color gradation from black to purple at her ankles.

"I wouldn't get any closer if I were you, it would be unwise to provoke him even further." The black-haired girl advised in a rather serene manner. The white-clad girl jerked the hand off he shoulder.

"Why shouldn't I!? That ruffian caused some serious damage and someone needs to set him straight!"

The amber eyed girl in black simply folded her arms under her breasts. "Yes, I'm fully aware of the damage he had caused. But even so, you would be signing your own death warrant." She peeked through the crowd. "Plus he already left."

"WHAT!?" The ice queen exclaimed as she swiftly turned her head to see the Tiger-Faunus walking away with his hands in his pockets. "Get back here you!" She shrieked as she ran after him. The black-haired girl let out a tired sigh as she shook her head at the white-haired girl's foolish defiance.

"Well, can't say I didn't warn her." She spoke dryly as she walked out of the crowd, but Ruby stayed in her place. Her mind was on the young man that viciously mauled the gang of fourth year students. When she looked into his eyes, she saw that they were filled with nothing but anger and malice, which gave her a cold shiver. But that wasn't the only thing she noticed. She also noticed several scars on his torso, big and small, narrow and wide, as well as several burn scars spanning from the right side of his face, down to the right side of his neck, his entire right shoulder and onto his right torso.

"What could've happened to make him like this?" The silver-eyed Huntress-in-training thought solemnly as the ambulance came and carried the fourth year students to safety.

Rajah's POV…

Rajah was currently heading to the entrance of Beacon academy while licking the blood off his fangs. He had a deep scowl on his face, clearly showing that he was still pissed off from the previous incident with those fourth year students. Okay, here's what actually happened you guys.

Flashback…

"AAAHHH!" A girl screamed out in terror.

"TIGER!" Another student cried. All eyes fell on Rajah, who was paying no mind to the stares from the crowd. The stares he was given were filled with contempt, fear, terror, and malice, but mostly fear. Even other Faunus stared at him with terror, yet respected him at the same time. Though they were whispering, The Bengal Tiger-Faunus heard them crystal clear thanks to his super sensitive hearing. He heard words like…

"He'll kill us all."

"What's that striped-bastard doing here?"

"Beasts like him belong in a man cage."

"His head deserves to be mounted on the wall."

Out of the blue, a large block of cinder collides with his head, shattering into smaller pieces upon impact. Of course it didn't hurt him, just pissed him off.

"HEY FURBALL!" A voice yelled out. Rajah snarled as he whipped his head towards the source of the yell. It was a group of fourth year students with thug-like clothing, laughing mockingly at him. Standing out was a large bulking man that stood nearly 5x Rajah's height wearing a black tank-top, black jeans, and had a dark skin complexion with a mop of spiky black hair. He also held a bottle of whiskey in his hand and an evil grin stretched across his face, which Rajah correctly assumed that he was the one who threw the cinder block at him.

Standing next to him was a young woman with long, untamed brown hair, fair skin, and black eyes. She wore a black leather jacket over a dark blue crop-top, blue ripped up jeans, and black boots. She also had a broadsword hilt on her left hip. They carried an air of arrogance, racism, and discrimination with them, and that pissed Rajah off even more. Humans like them really get under his stripes. (Get it?)

"You don't belong here! Why don't you go back to the jungle where you came from!"

"Yeah! Wild beasts like you shouldn't be interacting with humans!" Rajah could hear the crowd voicing in agreements, but the Faunus didn't say a word.

"Awww~! Is the wittle kitty gonna cry?" The brunette sneered as her subordinates laughed with her. By glance, Rajah could tell that this wench was the leader and the strongest fighter out of all of them. But he didn't have the time or the energy to waste with idiots like the, they were weaklings compared to him. With that, he continued heading towards his destination, which is the entrance to Beacon. The woman however frowned, greatly displeased at being ignored.

"HEY YOU STRIPED-BASTARD! WE'RE SPEAKING TO YOU!" She roared, but the Bengal Tiger continued to ignore her. Growling, she she made a gesture with her hand to the hulking brute that said "Hand me the bottle." He nodded and did as he was told. Grinning evilly, she threw the bottle at dangerously high speeds, aiming for Rajah's head. But then, in the blink of an eye, it was sent flying back towards her.

CRASH!

As the bottle made contact with her face, it shattered into smaller pieces and glass flew everywhere. The woman screamed in agony as she held her face, there were several cuts and had a huge gash on her forehead, with a chunk of glass lodged in her left eye, bleeding from its socket.

"BOSS!" Her subordinates cried as they ran towards her, checking to see if she's okay. For those of you who don't know, Rajah was the one who kicked the bottle back at the woman. The Bengal Tiger-Faunus started walking away, his hair shadowing his eyes. He's struggling to hold back his anger. He always had an insanely bad temper, even as a cub, and will lose control when pestered even slightly.

"Y-You...you little p-punk." The female brunette grimaced as she lifted her head to glare at Rajah, who continued to dismissively walk away from them. His actions infuriated her. Just who the hell does this guy think he is!?

"WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING!?" With that, she lets out a fierce battle cry and charges forward, unsheathing her broadsword, fully intent on decapitating Rajah. The crowd along with her goons cheered her own. The brown-haired woman yelled out as she swung her broadsword at the Bengal Tiger's head, but much to their shock, Rajah caught the sword between his sharp teeth. Then...he bit down on it, shattering the blade into millions of pieces!

I the blink of an eye, she was swept off her feet and pinned to the ground, her arm locked behind her back and face pressed against the concrete floor. Looking up from the corner of her eye, she met the face of a demonic beast. His fangs were bared, his tail vigorously whipping back and forth, his pupils shrunk into slits, and his eye glowing as his face was twisted into a murderous snarl. A shiver ran down her spin as a bestial growl ripped from his throat.

"Nobody. Calls me. Kitty!" Rajah growled darkly, making her eye go wide full of fear. The sound of claws and teeth ripping through flesh mixed with beastly growls and blood curdling cries of agony were heard, with the young men helplessly watched him maul her viciously. Her body lied in a pool of blood with her body covered in several claw marks and bite marks. As soon as Rajah was finished, he stood up and licked the blood off his claws in a cat-like manner.

"YOU BASTARD!" The hulking brute roared as he sprinted towards the Bengal Tiger-Faunus and swung his right fist at him. His punch was by no means lazy, in fact he put a shit load of power behind it. It was well-aimed, coordinated, and fast, so fast that no one saw his arm move; the man was definitely no amateur, he was highly skilled.

But he was still no match for Rajah.

Rajah easily blocks the punch with an open hand. The huge man's arm was crushed underneath the force of his own punch. He felt every bone in his arm shatter as the bone speared through his skin with blood spraying out the gash. The hulking brute screamed in pain as he fell to his knees clutching his broken arm. Then, a loud sickening crack echoed through the air as Rajah slammed his boot underneath the huge man's jaw, breaking his chin and shattering all of his teeth, sending him flying beyond the horizon, leaving behind a twinkling light.

Dread silence filled the air as the young men shook like leaves, they were supposed to be the strongest! Not some striped pussycat! Rajah turned his head towards them in a slow, animalistic manner. He slowly twists his face into a murderous snarl, thrashes his tail around violently, and bared his blood-stained fangs that glinted at the racist fuckers.

"You're next on my shit-list." He then lets out a rage-filled roar and lunges at them, fangs gleaming and claws fully extended. Blood curdling cries filled the air as they were mauled to death, with blood spattering everywhere.

Flashback end…

"They're lucky the ambulance arrived." Rajah mentally scoffed as his ears picked up the sound of sirens. This sort of thing happened to him all the time since he was a cub. Those who dared question his existence were either ripped to shreds or burned into a pile of ash. Hell, numerous Huntsman and Huntresses were after his head 24/7 simply because of who he was. Even the villagers harassed him and his kind countless times back at his homeland. Well, that's what you get when you're the most dangerous of all Faunus…

"YOU BEAST! STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Rajah let out a deep growl of frustration as he stopped walking. His ears flatten against his scalp as a shrill voice flooded them. It was like the blow of a mallet to his skull, pounding his brain into mush. Of course, he wouldn't mind if it weren't for the ears, he can pick up the faintest noise from miles away. He didn't even need to turn around to know who it was. It was the white-haired girl from earlier, otherwise known as...well you guys already know the rest.

"You ruffian! Look at the severe damage you have caused! Not only you made a huge crater in the ground, but you nearly sent that man flying into my dust! What do you have to say for yourself!?" She ranted while pointing an accusing finger at Rajah, who kept his back facing her.

"Well?! I'm waiting!"

Dead silence fell upon them. The Ice queen tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for his response. The Bengal Tiger decided to break the silence.

"I ain't got shit to say Ice wench." Rajah spat with malice lacing his voice. She took a few tentative steps back as a chill rushed down her spine, his voice was very deep and filled with bloodlust. She then regained her defiant, snobbish composure.

"How dare you talk back to me like that?! Do you not know who I a…!?"

"Weiss Schnee, the stuck up, spoiled, overly pampered little rich bitch of the trash-filled dust company who had everything handed to her on a fucking platter? Yeah, I think I got that right." Weiss was completely shocked, no one had ever spoken to her like that, ever! She was the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, the wealthiest organization in all of Remnant, yet this striped-bastard had the nerve to not only talk back to her, but badmouth her company?! She finally decided to set him straight.

"Now listen here you striped-demon! I will not tolerate your disrespect any!-"

Her sentence was short lived as she was suddenly grabbed vigorously by the throat and lifted up high into the hair. She gagged as she struggled to breath. Looking down, she saw something that will give her nightmares for months. Rajah had adopted a more feral look, his fangs that glistened in the sunlight bared at her. His tail violently swept from side-to-side, giving out a warning that he's not in the mood for her bullshit.

Then his eyes. They gleamed a deadly yellow glow and his pupils were contracted into thin slits, much like a felines. They screamed danger, ferocity, and most of all...spite. It was like looking into the eye of a Grimm. The heiress felt a cold shiver rush through her body, not as in temperature, but as in she felt like prey. Even though he only released a small-amount of killing-intent, she already felt like she was gonna pass out. Trickles of blood ran down Weiss's neck as she felt his claws digging into her skin.

"Listen and listen closely Schnee brat..." He spoke in a dark, sinister baritone that made her skin look even paler than it usually is. "My patience is wearing very thin, so I'll give you only two options. You can stay here, keep annoying the crap out of me until you suffer a slow, agonizing death, OR, you can just simply walk away and annoy someone else, and just maybe, maybe, I'll let you live. But if you choose the lateral...then I'll rip your carcass open and devour your living organs! GOT IT?!" He thundered savagely, flashing his claws from his left hand for emphasis.

Weiss just let out a fearful croak and nodded weakly in response. Satisfied with her answer, he dropped her to the ground, his features returning to normal before walking away with a flick of his tail. The heiress gasped in relief, letting out a few coughs. But she remained frozen in her spot. She didn't even see Rajah move when she grabbed her by the neck. When he looked at her, she felt like he held her life in his hands, she was his prey. Hell, he could've killed her right on the spot if she kept running that big mouth of hers. Was that the true power of a Tiger-Faunus? She wisely decided to leave him alone for now, but one question crossed her mind.

"What's a Tiger-Faunus doing here at Beacon?" She thought. Her Father always told her that they were very dangerous and should not be associated with. Weiss then got back wobbly on her feet and headed her was to the entrance.

Several hours later…

"Shit! Here he comes!" A random student cried out. Their eyes were locked on Rajah, who trudged through the dormitories, looking for a spot to sleep. All of the initiates backed up against the walls and hid inside their sleeping bags out of sheer terror. The scent of urine filled Rajah's nose, indicating that one of them wet themselves, much to his amusement. He then seemingly vanishes from their sight, reappearing on one of the beams of the ceiling. He perched himself on one of the beams like a cat.

The Bengal Tiger scanned the area and the students with his yellow slitted eyes. They were weaklings, nothing but mere cubs. Preferring on playing around instead of focusing on getting stronger. They wouldn't last five seconds in the wild, hell, they wouldn't survive in his homeland. Where Rajah grew up was a hazardous Jungle. While it had Grimmm, it crawled with dangerous beasts and man-eating predators of unnatural size, which are more dangerous than the Grimm can ever be. Though there are forests filled with those man-eaters all over the world. The weather at his environment was dicey and unpredictable, from raging thunderstorms and heat hazes, to withering blizzards.

There wasn't simply just four Kingdoms, there's a whole other world out there that even the wisest of Huntsman doesn't know about. The world out there is much bigger than he one in Vale, where the lands are even more dangerous, and whoever said they were dealing with only the Grimm. He never understood how they were a threat to humanity, they weren't even that strong, he killed one when he was 5 years old. There are threats much more lethal than the creatures of Grimm.

A scent snapped him out of his thoughts, it was the scent of a...Cat? Watching from above, he sees a young woman with long wavy black hair, amber eyes, and purple eyeshadow. She wore a black Yūkata with gray and white trimmings. Rajah immediately recognized her.

"What the hell is Adam's apprentice doing here?" He questioned in his mind. It was Blake Belladonna, the apprentice of Adam Taurus, the leader of the White Fang. He heard about her reputation during his time as a criminal, he even saw her in action. The girls skills were so great that she became Adam's top men, well, women. His gaze narrowed as he caught the sight of a large black bow the covered her ears.

He growled angrily at the sight as his claws were extended and dug deeply into the wooden beams. It was bad enough that Humans discriminated Faunus for who they are, but what irked him greatly was the sight of self-loathing Faunus disguising the animal features they've been born with. This wench basically abandoned her pride as a Faunus! Rajah shouldn't have to hide his animal features, hell, he didn't want to! He was proud to be a Faunus, a Tiger-Faunus for that matter. But whatever, if his bitch wanted to hide what she was, then it's not his problem. He's not her fucking babysitter.

Meanwhile, Blake felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up and a chill rushed through her body. She felt like a deer in the long grass, an eerie feeling that she was being stalked by an apex-predator, she didn't know why.

'Hello!~" A bright, cheery voice sung out, snapping Rajah from his thoughts, with his claws retracted. Looking down, he sees a young woman with long blond hair, fair skin, and lilac eyes. Her pajamas were an orange tank top with brown boy shorts. The busty blond was dragging someone towards the self-hating Cat Faunus.

It was a fair skinned girl with silver eyes and black hair that gradates to dark red at the tips. She wore pajamas that consisted of a black tank top with a heart-shaped Beowulf emblem on he chest and long white pants with pink roses. She also wore a black sleeping mask over her forehead with triangular red eyes resembling that of a Beowulf. By smell, Rajah could tell they they were sisters, half-sisters more specifically.

"I believe you met my little sister Ruby?

"Aren't you the girl from earlier?" Blake questioned with an arched eyebrow.

"Um, yeah. My name's Ruby." The silver-eyed girl greeted awkwardly, holding out her hand. But the Cat-Faunus didn't shake her hand. "But you can call me crater...actually you can just call me Ruby." An awkward silence surrounded them before Blake spoke up.

"Okay."

"What are you doing?" Yang whispered in her sister's ear.

"I don't know! Help me!" Ruby whispered back in a pleading tone.

"So...what's your name?" Yang asked.

Blake let out an annoyed sigh before lowering her book "Blake."

"Well Blake I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister." The blond introduced herself as "Yang." "I like your bow, it goes great with your pajamas."

"Right..." Blake drawled as she glued her eyes back onto her book.

"Nice night don't you think?"

"Take a hint blondie." Rajah thought as he rolled his eyes.

"Why yes. It's lovely. Almost as this book..." The amber eyed woman trailed off. "...That I will continue to read...As soon as you leave." Rajah couldn't help but smirk vaguely, he thought it was kind of funny how quickly she dismissed the two.

'Yeah, this girl's a lost cause." Yang deadpanned.

"What's it about?" Ruby asked innocently.

"Huh?"

"Your book, does it have a name?"

Blake was caught off guard by the question, but didn't see no harm in answering it. "Well, It's about a man with two souls. Each fighting for control over his body."

"Oh yeah, that's...real lovely." Yang drawled.

"I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed." Ruby said with a smile on her face. "Stories about heroes, monsters, they're one of the reason I want to be a Huntress." Rajah raised an eyebrow at this.

"Why's that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" Blake questioned with a small chuckle.

"Well I'm hoping we all will," Ruby replied. "As a girl, I always wanted to be just like those heroes in the books. Someone who fought for what was right and who protected people who couldn't protect themselves."

Rajah let out a Tiger-like grunt of distaste at the girl's naïvete. Her dreams were reminiscent to that of a toddler's, the real world doesn't work that way. It's filled with violence, hate, war, and bloodshed. There's no such thing as happy endings, it was kill or be killed. He was introduced to the harsh world since birth. It was that moment he knew that it won't be just her dreams getting crushed.

"That's...very ambitious for a child, Blake said with a small smile, before her expression turned slightly grim. "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tail."

"Ain't that the truth?" Rajah thought sarcastically.

"Well, that's why were here. To make It better." Ruby replied optimistically, which caused the Bengal Tiger to roll his eyes. Thats when Yang began to gush over how cute her baby sister was, lifting her into the air and baby talking into her ear. Ruby then punches her sister in the face, which soon became a brawl.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON OVER HERE?! DON'T YOU REALIZE SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!?"

"Great." Rajah thought with an annoyed growl as a familiar high-pitched voice flooded his ears, which nearly made him deaf, again! Watching from above, he saw Weiss marching over to their direction. She wore a blue night down with white trimmings and let her her flow freely down her waist. He smirked sadistically as he saw his claw marks on her neck.

"Ssh...guys, she's right. People are trying to sleep." Ruby said meekly, trying to be the voice of reason.

'Oh, so now you're on my side?" The heiress snorted.

'I'm always on you're side!"

"Yeah! What the hell's your problem with my sister!? She's only trying to be nice!" Yang shouted with venom lacing her voice.

"She's a hazard to my health!" Weiss stomped angrily. All of a sudden, the scent of burning fabric flooded her nostrils. Lokking down, she noticed her pajamas were on…

"FIRE!" The heiress ran around screaming in pain, trying to put out the flames, but was failing miserably. Unknown to her, a certain Bengal Tiger watched from above with sadistic delight. Rajah was the one who lit her pj's on fire with his semblance. Deciding he had enough entertainment for one night, he lit out the flame's at will, much to the Ice queen's relief. The three girls blinked, confused at what had happened.

"Umm, let's forget that ever happened." Ruby said awkwardly.

"Agreed." Yang agreed with a small nod. With that, Blake blew the candles out, indicating that it was lights out, flushing the room into darkness. Soon, everyone was fast asleep. The full moon shined its light through the windows, blanketing the room in a dim glow. Light like this will make anyone fall asleep, well...all except one.

Rajah was still sitting on one of the beams like a cat, wide awake with his yellow slitted eyes reflecting in the darkness. Being a Tiger-Faunus, he's naturally active at night and can see perfectly in the dark. He jumps off one of the beams and lands one the floor on all fours without making a single sound. He swiftly yet silently crept his way towards one of the windows. Cracking it open, he jumps high into the air. He then angels himself in an elegant manner while taking advantage of both momentum and the wind, and lands on the roof of the building silent like a cat. Rajah continued by leaping from building to building at ludicrous speed.

In the forest…

Rajah was currently prowling through a lush green forest. Thanks to his heightened senses, he knew the location of not only Grimm, but every animal nearby, ranging from rabbits, deer, and elk, to foxes, mountain lions, bears, wild boar, moose, bison, owls, snakes, and bats. This was his kind of environment, not one surrounded by filthy monkeys. He was now heading towards a large cave and he knew that there was a type of Grimm that lives there, but it won't be living there for long.

Stepping inside, he looked around for the Grimm that lived there. Out of the blow, a huge pair of red eyes appeared. The large figure slowly gets up and begins to walk towards the Bengal Tiger Faunus. Rajah just stared with a stoic expression as the Grimm that resembles a huge Gorilla that stood 20ft tall on all fours. It had a mask with blood red markings, razor sharp tusks that can teat through flesh and bone with ease, on it's back lies bone-plated armor with spines running down the middle, and huge gauntlet-like fists that can smash boulders. This Grimm was called a Beringel.

"Time to show this monkey who's king of the Jungle." Rajah thought, his face slowly twisting into a murderous snarl as he bared his fangs with his tail low and sweeping back and forth, his pupils narrowing into slits and his eyes gleaming a dangerous predatory glint, piercing through the wall of courage around its heart. The Beringel was unnerved by the expression and started to slowly back away from the Tiger Faunus.

"Come on monkey balls, make your MOVE!" Rajah roared, his suffocating killing-intent bursting out o his body and drowned the entire cave with it, making a swarm of bats fly out into the night sky out of fear. The Beringel whimpered as its body shook violently out of pure terror. It saw the image of a giant Tiger looming over it. But it wasn't gonna let some pussycat dominate it. Gaining whatever courage it had, and stupidity, it lets out a roar of defiance and throws a wild right hook at Rajah, only for its fist to go trough an after-image.

"Too slow banana brain." Rajah mocked. The Beringel pound sits chest while letting out another roar before rushing towards the Tiger Faunus at breakneck speeds. It throws another punch, only for Rajah to easily dodge it while he back flips away from it. The Beringel charges forward and unleashes a large brutal flurry of punches. None of them connected, each punch only swept through an after-image. It was all in vain, Rajah was it's predator, and it was simply his prey.

"GRAAAAWWRWRRRR!" Letting out a roar of frustration, it puts its hands together and proceeds to slam Rajah into paste with one of its most powerful strikes. A large shockwave blasted out as soon as Rajah blocked it with one arm. A crater was formed underneath Rajah from the sheer force of the attack. Not only did Rajah block the attack with one arm without sustaining any damage, but the Beringel's massive arms were shaking from trying to overpower the Bengal Tiger, Rajah's arm wasn't even shaking a little. It was clear who had the advantage in brute strength. In one fluid motion, Rajah thrusts his arm upwards, causing the Beringel to stumble several feet backwards.

In the blink of an eye, *SLASH!* Rajah instantly appeared behind the Berigel in a burst of speed, cutting off both of its arms with his claws. It roared in pain as blood spurted out wildly from the sockets. Rajah then leaped on its back and pinned it to the ground. It struggled to free itself from the Bengal Tiger's grip, but it was no use, he was simply too strong for it.

"It's time you know who's the true king of the Jungle." Rajah said with a bestial growl before slitting open its back with his claws and tore out its spinal chord, with skull intact and eyeballs included! He then took the skull in his grip and crushed before he walked away from the bloody, severed corpse that evaporated into black mist, along with the blood.

To be continued...

What do you think guys? Don't forget to leave a comment! I'll have more chapters coming up soon! I'm also having a little trouble finding a pairing for Rajah. Let me know in the comments and I'll decide the main paring. P.S: I'm not pairing him with Ruby.
