A/N Thanks for the reviews guys.

Whiteelfelder: Yes it's tad unique just keep reading.

beattiematt7: At one point i considered using Blake as his huntress. Weiss as well to. Ruby was the original choice. It wasn't until i watched Volume 4 did the actual pairing of Wolf and Jaune come to mind. I went back and rewatched all the volumes and that is how we got here today. Jaune ended up being picked over all the others for many reasons. Some will be shown here some won't.

Wolf's POV

He did a quick shadow travel in mid air to the ground. It was dangerous to do so but necessary. He had no landing strategy besides shadow travel.

Above him he could see the others doing their own strategies. Wincing he saw Jaune spiraling out of control. Above him Pyrrha landed turning her sword into a spear. She gaged the right angle and threw it.

He heard Jaune said," Thank you!"

A faint smile appeared on the hounds face. It faded when he saw the look of almost fear on Pyrrha's when their eyes met.

He said calmly," Go on. We are not meant to be partners you and I. Besides I think a young blond huntsman could use your help."

Surprise filled her killing curse eyes as she assessed him. They were so much like his own. It made him wonder if they shared an ancestor. Though it was highly unlikely. Given who she was.

Of course he knew exactly who she was. Pyrrha Nikos the best and most humble of the candidates for the year. He wouldn't have minded her as his huntress but she didn't have the calming effect. No his destiny seemed to lay with young Jaune Arc.

Pyrrha said realization filling her eyes," Your a hound. That's why you won't accept me as your partner. Do i have..."

Before she could finish her question he shook his head. He said," No. You are not my huntress. My destiny lies with another."

Thankfully she took him at his word and left to find her partner. Hounds were notorious for being solitary creatures. If she had done any research which it seemed she had then she would know that. Apart from their huntsman there were few that a hound would trust. Most of the time they kept humans at arms distance.

Faunus were worse. While humans saw them as partners Faunus saw them as abominations. Most hounds would trust a human over a normal Faunus any day.

Shaking himself from his thoughts he started making his way north. His sensitive hearing could hear the others making their way through the forest. Ruby it seemed had paired up with Weiss. Beowolves were not far behind them. A young girl and boy from one of the outlying cities had paired up together as well. Pyrrha wasn't far from Jaune now.

Movement behind him made his hand go for his sword. A red haired boy came stumbling through the bush. He relaxed a fraction recognizing him as a student. Their eyes met and the boy seemed displeased. Likely because he was smaller than expected.

He waved the red head off," You are not my partner. Go on find another."

The boy's face went as red as his hair but Wolf interrupted him," I'm a hound. We choose our own partners. You would never be considered as mine."

The boy said with a sneer," So your an animal. Fine i would never want you as my partner anyways."

That he was used to. Some humans saw them as nothing more than animals. Even lower than the Faunus. It was a raging debate once again whether or not hounds had souls. He remembered once when he was young he asked Ozpin about it.

Flashback

He rubbed at his eyes as he stood in the elevator to go to Ozpin's office. It was obvious he had been crying. The elevator dinged startling him. He moved through the office hoping to get to his room without Ozpin noticing. He had no such luck.

The silver haired man called out," Wolf you're back early."

This was true. He wasn't supposed to be back in Remnant for at least another week. He bowed his head fully intending on ignoring the implied question.

A gentle hand rested on his shoulder forcing him to turn around. Looking up he could see the calm eyes of his huntsman. A rare amber unlike anything he had seen before this man intrigued him like no other. The man had spent two working with him so he could talk again. His time with the Grim had made that a long and trying process. More than once the man called Qorw said they should just eliminate him. The angry woman agreed. Yet Ozpin with his amber eyes downright ignored them.

Instead he worked tirelessly to help him. With the aid of young huntsman in training they had succeeded. That had been six months ago. He now travelled freely between Earth and Remnant. Remnant would always be home in his eyes. His so called family saw him as a freak and a monster.

The words had been driven home when he overheard a group of adults in Remnant calling him the same thing. It was like there was no escape from what he was. Was he really a monster for something he was born as? Just because a pack of Beowolves had taken him in? Sure he still didn't speak much if at all but that shouldn't make him a monster.

He didn't notice that he had been directed to a chair until Ozpin sat him in it. Then he left. Only a minute later he returned with a cup of something hot. He handed it to the young hound. To his surprise it was hot chocolate. A rare treat for the young hound.

He looked up unquestioningly at Ozpin who was sipping from his cup of coffee. With a sigh he blew at his chocolate before taking a sip. It was as delicious as he remembered. Ozpin made the best coffee. No doubt about it.

"What brought you back so early, Wolf? Why did you show up crying?" Ozpin questioned softly.

His huntsman was still spoke to him like he was a frightened animal. Some days he still felt like one. It took a lot of work for him to begin to understand his emotions. He still didn't understand the emotions of others yet. He didn't understand why people hated and feared him.

As if sensing his thoughts Ozpin asked gently," Was it Qrow again? You shouldn't take anything he says to heart. It takes a lot for that man to come around."

Shaking his head he whispered," It wasn't Qrow this time. It was some people in the city. They were talking about me. They called me a monster, sir."

He didn't miss the hidden wince at his use of sir. All the professors insisted on him calling them that. Or in the strange green haired man's case doctor. Ozpin insisted that he called him Ozpin or Oz. Anything but sir. Still he had trouble with it.

"You are not a monster, Wolf. You are just a boy who needs help." The huntsman said with more conviction than he had ever seen before.

This man truly believed he was not a monster. Instead just another person that needed his help. Now more than ever Wolf was happy that he had met the amber eyed huntsman.

He asked burying his face into Ozpin's coat dropping the mug of hot chocolate," Why? Why do they hate me?"

While shocked by his sudden hug Ozpin wrapped his arms around him. The man said softly," Humans fear what they do not understand. They do not hate you, Wolf. They fear you because they don't understand you. Be yourself don't let anyone change you because of their fear."

End of flashback

Ozpin was right that day. He could do nothing about their fear until he proved that he was not a monster. That meant being himself and showing what he was capable of. So he would make his way north and find Jaune.

Ozpin's POV

He watched the first years form their partnerships. Some he was surprised by others he wasn't. One that surprised him was the partnership between Arc and Nikos. He knew that the boy wasn't as good as his transcripts said. In fact he was almost completely sure they were fake. Still the boy had the potential to stop Wolf's downward slide. That was enough for him to keep him in his school.

One that didn't surprise him was the pairing of Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose. They would be good for each other. Ruby would end up as team leader teaching her more responsibility. Schnee needed a wake up call. Not everything would fall into her lap.

Blake Belladona and Yang Xiao Long. Depending on who they were teamed up with would make him consider one for a team leader. They would be good for each other. That much was for certain.

Glynda said surprising him," Our final team has formed, sir."

He didn't even look up as he listened to her," Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie. Poor boy I get see them getting along."

He didn't even give a noise in acknowledgment. He knew that they had made a plan to meet up in the forest. It wasn't hard to figure out.

His attention was drawn though to his hound. He could feel the boy's feelings. Even at the distance they were at. Wolf's was feeling unsure of himself again. It wasn't anything knew. Ever since Wolf's diagnosis he was more unsure of himself. He continued to withdraw himself from Ozpin.

It hurt the huntsman to watch Wolf slowly pull away from him. He knew why the boy did it though. Wolf was afraid that he would forget his duties. That instead of protecting the world Ozpin would search for a way to fix his blood concentration.

Reluctantly Ozpin agreeed with the boy. If Wolf continued to spend most of his time with him he would likely be trying to find something to slow it. It hurt him more than he let anyone see to see Wolf fighting a losing battle.

His attention was drawn to the screen when he heard Wolf curse. On the screen he was surrounded by Ursa. He was interested to see how far the boy had come with his new weapon.

Wolf's POV

His hand landed on his right hip where his sword lay. The hilt felt familiar to him. Unlike in the previous fights he had grown much more familiar with the blade. His techniques were far from perfected but it would have to do. No one came to school perfect after all.

Five Ursa surrounded him. Like Qrow he was a magnet for the Creatures of Grim. At least he didn't have his semblance working against him. The Grim blood that flowed through his veins attracted the Grim. They knew what he was. At least on a basic level.

Shaking himself from the dangerous thoughts he drew his sword. It was just in time to block the first strike from the Ursa. He dodged around the second one using his momentum and it's surprise to decapitate it. One down. Four to go.

They roared in anger at the fallen Grim who was already turning into shadows. The second one was just as easy to kill. While Ursa were huge and packed a hell of a lot of power they weren't very smart. If one dodged and blocked their strikes they would find an opening.

He had killed four of the five in rapid succession. The fifth one caught him by surprise. A claw swiped him across the chest. The power behind the attack sent him crashing into a tree. He could feel at least three of his ribs crack from the force of the blow.

It charged at him. He only had a split second to make a decision. He did a slide forward allowing him to go under its belly. Using his momentum he stuck his sword into its underbelly practically slicing it from shoulder to hip.

The bodies of all five Grim were almost dissipated by this point. Satisfied with his work he finally began to make his way north.
