Okay guys, while I had no real complaints about how things went, there were some grievances with the details. I already had it planned anyway but this chapter should reach those questions and be answered.

I should have expected this really. But as soon as class was let out I was immediately dragged away by team RWBY, mostly Ruby and Yang. I had already explained to them that I'd let them know what was going on later, but apparently later is now as they didn't let up in the slightest. My team was following behind as well but they seemed content to allow it to happen.

We reached the dorms, my legs dangling behind as I couldn't walk. They opened the door to their room, placed me in one of their desk chairs and circled around me. Of course, seeing me like this someone finally stepped in to help me, Pyrrha, only to immediately join them as well.

"Traitor," I stated simply glancing at Pyrrha. But it seems like my slight fun was over. They giggled a bit before grabbing their own seats, whether they be beds, chairs, or the floor. I was right though, no looks of disgust only intrigue and questioning. Doesn't apply to Nora or Ruby here. They seemed excited. Of course, I refused looking to Weiss, she was getting better but her stance on Faunus as a whole wasn't very accepting.

Surprisingly the first to speak up was Blake.

"So you're a Faunus then." Blake looked nothing but calm, neutral even, but her eyes told a different story. I'm not entirely sure of everything there but there was sympathy.

My left ear flicked like it wanted to confirm it. I just scratched the back of my head sheepishly.

"Not entirely, I don't know all the specifics about it, but it's a part of my semblance. It allows me to adjust my genetic code. So far turning into a cat Faunus is all I could do, and even then that was by accident." I believe it was when I was eight years old when it first happened? I'm not too sure, it wasn't the happiest moment in my life.

"What do you mean by accident? Even if that were possible you cant possibly mean you did it by accident." Way to go, Weiss, as skeptical as ever, and even though I don't like it, her disdain for Faunus is showing a little.

"It's exactly as I said, accident. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did." I actually know the reason why it happened when it did. Took me a couple years to figure out why it did then, but for the exact reason it turned me into a Faunus I'll never know. I just know that at the time it happened I wanted to change.

"Okay...but before we continue that, let's talk about what you did with the dust." Weiss again, at least I don't have to explain my 'tragic past' to them. Okay, it wasn't that bad really.

"Ughh, yeah, that. Would you believe me if I said that was an accident as well?" It really was this time, and it made a pretty fun day. Of course by the look on Weiss's face that's not gonna fly. "Okay, Okay. But it really was an accident. It happened when I was eleven I think, I went into the kitchen to get something to drink. I saw something on the counter, thinking it was candy I took some. I thought it was rock candy, turns out it was Energy dust. Ended up shorting out every appliance in the kitchen."

True story. Freaked me the hell out when it happened. Trying to explain it to my parents took a whole 2 hours just for one of my sisters to feed me another piece of Energy dust by the end of it. Let it be known I was grounded for two months because of it.

"That doesn't explain how you were able to conduct it into your body and use it."

"Semblance?" Shrugging my shoulders I just looked up at her. I have no idea. Only thing is that my body adjusted to it. I mean that has to be it. I can only do it when in my Faunus form. Now that I think about it, that just sounds wrong, but I have nothing else to go with. Oh, is it too late to mention I was transformed at the time?

Weiss looked like she wanted to refute but before she could someone else spoke up.

"When we started initiation I had to unlock your aura for you. Since you found your semblance when you were younger I assume you had your aura unlocked as well. My question is why?" Pyrrha had one hand holding her chin and her head was tilted slightly.

"Yeah, there's actually a good reason for that. My father may have sealed my aura before I left and wanted someone else to unlock it later for me." Given his reason, it's somewhat sound, but it was dangerous as hell to do initiation without aura.

"That seems awfully dangerous. What was the reason why?" this caused a small blush and had me look away.

"Sigh, he said that my partner should be the one unlocking it, that we would be much closer and should keep us together." I would have honestly like to have forgotten that, it was corny as hell. That and it was someone as beautiful as Pyrrha was the one who did it. NO, must stay faithful to my Snow Angel.

"Oh." was all she said as she turned around red all over her face? Was she sick or something? No, that was a blush, right? Nah, couldn't have been, not for me anyway. Shrugging my shoulders I look at the remaining people that haven't talked yet. It was strange really. This whole conversation was weird, were we talking single file? Huh.

"Okay, Vomit-boy. Where'd you learn to fight like that and why have you been hiding it?" I hope she isn't asking just cause she wants to fight. Knowing her though and the apparent excitement on her face, its all I needed to know.

"I've always known how to fight like that. At first, I was trained by my dad in hand to hand combat. But after unlocking my semblance and being able to transform at will, which was when I was twelve I was trained by my father's old teammate who was a panther Faunus to help fight with my enhanced abilities." It was actually a really cool experience. I forgot his name, however. I know he was a part of the White Fang though.

"Okay, so if you can fight with those weapons why did you use your sword?" two days ago I might not have answered that question but after they're reception I feel like I could let them in on it.

"Two reasons actually, and while neither are overly bad its just how it was. One was the fact that to use my gauntlets I need to be in my Faunus form otherwise my fighting style would be too slow and barehanded I didn't have the strength to kill Grimm. The second reason was that I wanted to continue my family legacy with Crocea Mors, but as you saw my performance with it was terrible and just to say I've been trying to use that sword since I was thirteen as well." Leaving out the part about the 'being chosen' part I continued. " And yes before you say anything, I do know how dangerous it was doing all this with a weapon I couldn't really use."

"I can understand the pressure of a family's name more than most people but even so that was incredibly reckless even for you. Going through initiation, leading a team, and even attending this school, it's incredibly selfish of you and not only endangered you but the team you lead as well." Leave it to Weiss to point that out, I already knew how selfish I was being. The fact that the threat of expulsion was what got me to change proves it.

"I know how selfish I was, but fighting using that sword meant everything to me. But even though I know how selfish and foolish it was, I never would have let it get my team hurt. I would gladly toss it aside and half the world to prevent them getting hurt if I could help it." Even though that was incredibly embarrassing to say it was the truth. They come first.

"And I you. And I know I'm not alone in saying that we'd protect you from everything in our power as well." Ren spoke, a fond smile on his face. Looking at Pyrrha and Nora I saw the same.

"Thanks, guys." I smiled at them. Even though this was a touching moment, I kinda wanted to get through with the rest of this meeting. I'm getting kinda hungry.

"Okay, any more questions." I asked looking around.

"I have one related back to the fight. Why did you get rid of your weapons when you ingested the dust?" asked Ren

"Well to put it simply it was the same reason I stated earlier when I don't have my Faunus traits. When I used the energy dust it enhanced my speed and made my basic hand to hand much stronger. I was able to channel the dust into my hands, legs, and ears. Basically making my attacks more effective than normal, my speed faster, and my hearing which helps with my reflexes."

"That must be why you removed the greeves as well, it would impair your movement with the heavy metal, at the speed you were moving it could have caused you to slip as well." Ren mused aloud.

"Yeah, at first I wasn't planning on using it but with how they fought together I had no other choice, I wanted to keep that to myself."

"Speaking of, why did you choose to target Weiss during our fight?" asked ruby tilting her head sideways.

"No offense to you Ruby, but in that fight, she was the bigger threat. With the versatility of her dust along with her Glyph's along with her precise attacks, she was the obvious choice. Since I needed to win the fight I figured that out of the two of you I needed to get rid of her first and along with my speed and you guys not knowing what I can do I figured I could quickly take her out since she's also not the sturdiest of people. You're plenty strong yourself but between the two? Yeah." I said shrugging my shoulders once more glancing around the room.

Everyone seemed to accept my answers so far, no confused faces, although the same could not be said about Weiss's puffed up cheeks, her 'hmph', and the upturned chin. Must not like remembering how she was taken out. Meh, all's fair.

"Okay, as much as I'd love to continue this little interrogation here I need some food. My semblance increases my metabolism, so does the dust. So if we're done here let's go get something to eat. I mean it is lunch time as well." With that said I stood up and was about to head to the door and open it.

That was until I heard the something that drained of blood from my body and sent shivers down my spine. My ears perked to the door when I heard it, that slow scratching, grating on my ears. I was frozen in fear, it was slowly getting louder but staying at the same speed.

The others were looking around confused as to why I suddenly stopped. Eventually, they heard the scratching as well. Wondering what it was Ruby had gone to the door and opened it. And what I saw reconfirmed my fears.

"A cat?" Ruby spoke aloud but I didn't hear it. The cat just looked at me. I looked back.

The cat ignored Ruby and just walked into the room. I couldn't take it anymore so I turned and ran. Jumping straight out the open window completely ignoring everything else just trying to get away. Looking back I as I landed I saw the cat jump out following after me. Sprinting away hoping to create as much distance as I can between us before the cat landed. Before turning a corner I saw the cat land gracefully on the ground before looking at me and jumping into action.

The chase was on.

Okay, here's the chapter guys. Thanks to those waiting. I also have a question. How the hell do some of you be finding my story after such a long time? I figured after like a week my story would be buried until a new chapter came along and brought it back from the grave.

Okay with that out of the way I have another question. I have a rendition of my first chapter that's a little different and will eventually fall down a different path to this one. Would you guys like it? Depending on the answers I will upload it but it will wait till I have 3 chapters for that as well just to get past where it needs to.
