(1 month later from Chapter 8, or after Cardin's escapade.)

Cass was bored, like, very bored. She had nothing to do. Sure she could study on stuff the teachers had assigned but that wasn't any fun. She could read a book for fun but she wasn't in the mood. As she sat in the dorm room, the windows open with her head occupying the ledge, she stared out at the front of the school, pouting.

"There's nothing to do!" she growled, annoyed as a pair of birds flew past her head. She whirled over and saw Velvet calmly stretched out on her bed, reading from a book with a russet covering. "C'mon Velvet! Let's go do something fun!"

"Like?"

"Well...umm…" Cass glared at her. "No need to shut me down like that. I'm bored, so come up with something for us to do."

"You could always try studying?" Velvet offered.

"I'm bored, I want something fun to do." She rolled her eyes. "I don't want to be more bored!"

"Well did you ever race Ruby?" Velvet asked. Cass's ears perked up because no, she hadn't had gotten a chance to do so. "Why don't you go challenge her to race right now? You don't have anything better to do, right?"

"Yeah! Let's go do it!" Cass grabbed Velvet's hand and yanked her from her bed. Her book spun up into the air, twirling a bit before landing spine up so that the page was kept.

"Why'd you do that? I was in a good part!" Velvet whined, her ears flopping down.

Damn you and those ears, Cass thought as she grinned. She patted Velvet's soft ears. "Remember? You're my guard! You have to be watching me at all times, right?"

"I guess," Velvet mumbled. "But you could have waited a sec…"

"Nope! Too bad! I was bored!" Cass ran up and did her version of a knock. That involved pounding her fist against it so hard that the beds trembled inside of team RWBY's room. "Hey Ruby! I want to use one of your promises right now!"

When nobody answered she knocked again, the door bending with each hit. "Hey Ruby! Answer me!" When still nobody answered, Cass's eyes flashed in anger. "Oh that does it!"

As she went to swing and knock the door off of its hinges, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her punching arm. She looked at it and saw Ruby there, a milk-stache on her face along with the crumbs of cookies.

"I could hear you from the dining hall," the tiny leader said. "Anyway, what do you need from me? Something about a promise?"

"Yeah," she growled, grinning down at her. "Remember your offer to race? I wanna make good on that and challenge you to a race. Today. Preferably right this moment as I am bored as hell," Cass groaned. "So, whatcha gonna say?"

Ruby thought for a few moments before nodding. "Sure! We can race. Let me get my team and-"

"Wait hold on," Cass said, grabbing the reaper's hood. "Why do you need your team? What's the benefit of having them watch?"

"Nothing!" She said cheerfully. "But wouldn't it be more fun if we had more people to watch?" Cass released the red reaper's hood. "I'll go and fetch your team as well! JNPR will join in too probably! Well, Nora will."

"Nora is the crazy one with the orange hair and the love for pancakes?"

"Yup!"

"Ah…okay…" she looked over at Velvet. "I'll meet you outside by the statue then!"

"See ya soon then!" Ruby said as she began walking down the hall. "And be prepared to lose!"

Cass just laughed, watching the red reaper vanish in a cloud of red petals that settled down to the floor. She turned to Velvet and poked her cheek playfully. "Wanna grab your book then head outside?"

"Sure." The two of them walked back into the room. Cass took one look at the open window and grinned. She closed and locked the door as Velvet picked up her book. When she turned back, she saw Cass standing by the window with her bat on her back.

"What is it Cass?" she asked as she walked up behind her. "Is something wrong?"

"Nope! Nothing's wrong." Cass turned around, grinning. "Get in my arms."

"Huh?" Velvet blinked in confusion. "Why?"

"Just do it."

Velvet shrugged. So far trusting Cass has only led to mild teasing and some crude jokes, so what could be worse than that? She got into Cass's arms so that the Grimm girl was carrying the bunny bridal style.

Cass looked down at her and saw Velvet's innocent eyes looking back up at her. She abruptly swiveled her head away, blushing softly.

"Is everything alright?" Velvet asked, not noticing that Cass was walking closer to the window.

"Huh? Y…yeah," Cass mumbled as she climbed onto the windowsill. "Ready for the fall?"

Velvet looked down and squeaked, clutching onto Cass's arm with one hand while the other held the book to her chest. "Don't you dare! Don't you do it!"

"I'm gonna do it," Cass teased.

"Don't do it."

"I'm gonna do it."

"Don't do it!"

"Doing it."

Cass fell from the window with a screaming, petrified, ready to piss herself Velvet in her arms before crashing to the ground. A small crater formed as she landed but she came out of it unharmed. The same couldn't be said for Velvet.

The little bunny girl was trembling in her arms, eyes wide and petrified. Her ears dropped down, her teeth chattering in fear.

Cass tried to hold back her laughter at first, but the longer she stared at her the harder it became until it burst out. She laughed as if she was crazy, gasping for air as she went on and on. "Oh god! This is great! By Dust I love it! Buahahaha!"

Cass tried to set Velvet down on her feet, but as she released the bunny girl, Velvet's legs gave way and she fell onto the ground. "Y-y-you're an ass!" she squeaked out as she laid on the ground. "T-that was m-m-mean!"

"If you were in my position," Cass said, hands on her hips as she bent down to look at her, a smug grin plastered on her face. "You'd do it too. And honestly? Your reaction is just too adorable, I wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world."

Velvet found enough strength left to stand up. She raised the book and began bashing it against Cass's head. "Meanie! Jerk! Ass!" she cried out as she kept on swinging. "You're such a bully!"

Cass just laughed as she was hit. Her aura protected her from any serious damage. Even if her aura wasn't active, her swings wouldn't have hurt that much in comparison to what having a Boarbatusk's tusk burrowed in your leg.

Cass let Velvet vent and hit her with her book until she was gasping for air, arms weary from swinging so much. "You done?" Cass asked, smiling at her.

Velvet nodded. "You…don't do that…ever again…okay?"

"I won't." Cass ruffled her hair. "I didn't mean to scare you that badly, but it was worth it. Your reaction was priceless! It was just too damn good!"

Velvet pouted. "Well I'm glad you enjoyed scaring me that much," she grumbled. "But I wasn't scared…I was really just caught off guard, that's all."

"Sure you were," Cass said, rolling her eyes. "Whatever makes you feel better," Cass said as she turned, heading to the statue. "You coming?"

"One sec," Velvet tested her legs for a few seconds before nodding. "I'm alright." Cass kept on walking, acting like she didn't hear her. "Wait up for me!" Velvet squeaked, running after her.

Cass did no such thing and just kept on walking. As they walked, she saw Cardin sitting on the steps, bags under his eyes. When he looked up at Cass, their eyes meeting, he got up and turned tail. He tried to make it look like he was just speed walking, but he was all but sprinting to get out of there.

"What did you do?" Velvet asked, arms crossed. "Did you escape from the room and beat him up? You're supposed to stick with me, remember?"

"Hon, if I wanted to beat his sorry racist ass, I'd do it in public with a crowd. It'd be a public execution if nothing else." She shrugged. "I dunno why he looks so tired or ran from me. He was scared…" A wicked grin grew on her face. "Maybe he's still scared shitless of me! He ought to be!"

"Cass…" Velvet sighed and shook her head. "Ah, well, never mind."

Cass stared at her for a few moments. She was staring so focused she didn't notice it when there was a light pole in front of her. With a thunk she slammed herself into it and fell back on her ass, groaning. "Ow…"

Velvet came down to her and gave her a worried look. "You alright?"

"Of course I am, I have my aura on but…" she rubbed her head. "Still stings. Not to mention it caught me off guard…"

Velvet reached out and patted her head, ruffling her long hair. "For someone who thinks she's a monster," she said softly. "You do act like us."

"Faunus and humans are monsters too," she groaned as she stood up.

"Even myself?" Velvet asked as Cass stood up, tilting her head slightly.

Cass stared at her in silence for a solid minute. "No…" she admitted softly. "I guess not all Faunus and humans are monsters…I'll give you that much…"

Velvet grinned as she pounced on Cass, hugging her tightly. "Heh heh!"

Cass blushed and squirmed in her hug. "What are you doing?" she grumbled, lowering her head. "Let go of me."

"Oh, sorry," Velvet said quickly, releasing her and hopping back a few steps. "I didn't mean to upset you or anything!"

"It's alright right," Cass grumbled as the soft blush began to leave her cheeks. She turned and quickly walked to the statue, the bat bouncing on her back. "Let's go."

Velvet followed after her, on Cass's heels. The harness on Cass's back that held her bat bounced freely. The two of them had gone in Beacon's workshop and had made this little harness. It was a simple on strap harness that went over Cass's shoulder and held the bat in a large cylinder made of leather. It allowed her to draw her bat out quickly, much like a sword with a sheath.

As they neared the statue they saw nobody else there. Cass sat on the statue's edge while Velvet stood there reading from her book nice and quietly. Slowly others from team RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY came out to watch. Ruby was the last to arrive, the ice bitch holding onto her back, eyes frozen wide from fear…and the wind.

Setting her down, Ruby looked at the other, beaming. "So is everyone here?" Everyone nodded. "Oh wait…where's Coco and Yatsuhashi?"

"Sparring," Fox said. "They didn't want to end it to come watch this. I on the other hand had nothing else to do so…" he pulled out his scroll. "Actually how did you get my number?"

"Doesn't matter!" Ruby said cheerfully as she turned to Cass. "So where are we racing to?"

"I dunno. I was hoping you'd have a plan," Cass grumbled, shrugging. Everyone sweat dropped, some of them sighing at the lack of preparation.

Ruby gave her a shaky grin. "Well…um…does anyone have any ideas?"

"Why don't you do laps around the school?" Ren asked, always being the reasonable one. "You could do three laps with whoever finishes first wins?"

"Like in Dust Kart!" Nora screamed, pumping her fist in the air.

Ruby and Cass both nodded their heads.

"Then let's get this stared!" Yang climbed on top of the statue, pointing her fist into the sky. "When I fire, you guys get running, got it?" The two contestants nodded.

"Ready?" Cass dropped the bat holder and began spinning her head, sparks flying from her bat as it became a blur.

"Set." Ruby put Crescent Rose's blade behind her, barrel poking out.

"Go!" Yang cried out, firing a crimson shot into the sky from her position on the statue.

Ruby shot off, bullets flying back from her gun as she used it to speed herself up. With it she made the first sharp turn, sliding around one of the towers. Her gun gave her massive control over how fast she went and how hard she could turn.

Cass? Cass just stood there, continuing to spin her bat. More and more sparks flew until her body was basically surrounded in a soft blue glow. When Velvet came closer to touch her, Cass gave her a withering glare.

"Touch me and I can't be blamed if you get burned," she growled softly. "Don't touch me if you want to stay alive."

"Ah okay," Velvet muttered as she backed off. "But you know…Ruby already went ahead…so…what are you doing?"

"One sec." She closed her eyes. Ruby came around the building and passed by them, completing her first lap. As she wished off, petals settling down behind her, Cass's grin grew wider.

"Done!" She vanished in a blur, not even leaving a trail of sparks. A second after her vanishing, a massive wind blew past them just from her leaving her spot. The wind continued for a few seconds, getting stronger as time went on. Everyone closed their eyes to keep from getting grit in their eyes. When they opened them, they saw Cass standing there, humming softly to herself.

"I'm done with the race. I beat Ruby." Cass let out a lazy yawn. "That was surprisingly easy. She's fast, but not that fast."

As she said that, Ruby came back, and went past them, completing her second lap.

"You couldn't have beaten my sister!" Yang protested. "Where's your proof?" She crossed her arms. "C'mon. Show us."

Cass just gestured to the ground behind her. There were three trails of feet burned into the ground. "The energy gets hot," she explained to the wide eyed stairs. "So the grass I stepped on either was set on fire or was just turned to a crisp…so…yeah, there's my proof."

"Nice job!" Velvet cried out, hugging Cass before being sent flying back with a loud squeak. Smoke rose for her as she lay on the ground, ears twitching. She let out a dazed groan while Cass shook her head.

"Did you think that just cause I'm here means that I got rid of all the energy?" Closing her eyes, Cass condensed the energy into her bat making it glow bright blue. She took a few steps away from everyone else and went to jab it into the ground. Instead she felt a hand on her bat.

Her eyes went wide as she saw Nora there, holding onto her bat with her wild grin. "Hiya!" She took all of the energy and just stood there grinning as Cass's bat ran dry.

"Did you just suck me dry?" Cass asked as she pulled her bat back and began looking at it, curious.

"I took it all from you!" Nora said happily. "I've gotten lots of practice!"

"I can tell," she said, tossing her bat into the air as she stared at it. "I can feel an ounce if energy coming from it…nice job there." Cass set it on the ground.

"Heh heh!" She bounced away back to Ren. "Shake my hand Ren!"

"I'm not falling for that," Ren said with a soft sigh, shaking his head.

"Alright!" She turned to Jaune and offered her hand. "C'mon, shake it!"

"Um…okay?" Jaune slowly offered his hand. Nora smacked their hands together and held on tightly as all of the pent up energy shot out into Jaune's body. He twitched and spasmed, his body becoming lit up into a bright blue as everyone got a quick view of Jaune's skeleton. As quickly as it had started though, it ended. Jaune fell to the ground, groaning and twitching as some sparks flew off of him.

"Nora!" Ren chided as he walked over while Pyrrha went to check on Jaune. "No pancakes tonight!"

"Aw but Ren," Nora whined as her teammate walked off, appearing calm but secretly fuming at his friend's problematic tendencies. "I didn't mean to hurt him! C'mon Ren?" She gave him Ruby's puppy dog eyes. "Please can I have pancakes?"

Unfortunately for Ren he had seen her look. Letting out a deep sigh he shook his head. "I will make you pancakes," Nora beamed. "But…no toppings." Nora' grin wavered but it didn't vanish.

Ruby came past the last corner as Ren and Nora talked. She slammed her scythe into the ground and spun around 5 times before coming to a stop.

"Did I win?" she asked, panting for air. "Where's Cass?"

Cass came forward from where she was with Velvet. "Heyo! You lost." Cass gave her a cheeky grin. "Not that you had a real chance to begin with."

"Hey!" Ruby deflated at what she said while Yang put her hands on her hips and glared down at Cass from on top of the statue. "She did her best! No need to be such an ass about it!"

"I'm just saying," Cass grumbled, shrugging. "I saw how fast she traveled the first lap. I can circle the grounds in less than a second when I'm overcharged." She looked away from them. "There is a downside though…"

"What's the downside?" Velvet asked, getting worried.

"My arm's frozen," she said, gesturing to her right arm. Her hand was frozen open. "It takes a few second to kick in though, but right now? I can move it up and down, but I can't move my fingers or my elbow." She demonstrated moving her arm as much as she could. "See? It'll return in, oh, an hour or so."

"That's…a really big pain in the ass," Velvet muttered, poking her arm. "Can you still feel with it?"

"Kinda. I can feel you poking it, but it's really numb." Velvet frowned.

"Does it cause long term nerve damages?" she asked softly.

"Who knows? Who cares?" Cass grabbed her sling and tossed it onto her back. Taking her bat from the ground, she put it into her sling. "I can live without my arm for a bit. See ya'll later, oh, and thanks for watching," she said, nodding to the group. "And Ruby?" The hooded girl looked up. "Nice try."

Cass turned and walked away, leaving the others to do as they wished. Velvet went after her, smiling and waving to the others as she left. The others looked at each other, confused. Cass was an odd one. She never really stuck around just to chat…

"She should try to be more friendly!" Nora cried out, pouting. "She needs to have more fun with us!"

"She no doubt has an unhappy past," Blake said, pulling out a book from nowhere. "She might not want to make close connections with anyone."

"She seems pretty close to Velvet though," Pyrrha mused aloud.

Yang's eyes lit up at this. "You're right," she said softly as she looked at duet slowly walking away. "I think…we ought to follow them!"

"Why's that?" Weiss asked with a small huff. "It's just going to be a pain. I'm going back to the room to do some studying."

"I'll join you!" Nora said cheerfully, bouncing up to Yang.

Yang looked over at Blake, eyes pleading. Blake snapped her book shut with a heavy sigh. "I'll come along."

"We need to take care of Jaune," Pyrrha said as she and Ren lifted Jaune up. "Sorry, but you'll make sure to tell us what happens, right?"

"Sure! Fox? You wanna tag along?" Yang asked, turning to him.

"I…don't want to upset anyone," he said as he went towards the building. "Sorry Yang, but I'm not getting involved in this scheme."

Yang pouted and grumbled softly. "It's not a scheme…" She turned to the other two. "Alright! Let's go watch them!" All to get some dirt on the girl who dared diss my sister like that!

Velvet followed Cass who was walking to the bullhead docking station. Cass stopped halfway there and turned, taking a small cobble trail that lead to Beacon's tiny park.

"Um…Cass," Velvet said softly. "What are you doing out here?"

"Just relaxing," she said softly. Velvet's eyes went wide in shock when she heard Cass's voice. It sounded so tired and old, despite Cass being the same age as her. The moment Cass found a bench she slumped into it, the bat pressed against her fur.

"Here, let me help you," Velvet said softly as she helped Cass get out of the bat sling. She set it on the ground before taking her spot on the bench next to Cass. She pulled her book out and opened it, content to read.

Cass rested her head on Velvet's shoulder. "I lied," she said softly. "Doing that…holding all that energy…it makes me really tired too…"

"I could tell," Velvet said softly as she smiled down at Cass. "You can rest a bit if you want. I don't mind."

"Shut…up…" Cass mumbled despite nuzzling Velvet's shoulder, keeping her head there. After saying that she still fell asleep, dozing peacefully.

Velvet smiled and reached up with her other hand, gently stroking Cass's ears. Cass squirmed slightly but didn't wake up. Instead, a strangely peaceful smile graced her features. Velvet stopped stroking her ears after a while and instead went to reading her book.

No doubt she's exhausted from that, nobody, human, Faunus, or Grimm could move like that and come out fine. Velvet sighed softly. Reckless idiot…or maybe you're just too prideful, hmm? Didn't want to lose to Ruby?

In the bushes nearby, 3 scrolls went off several times. It was too quiet and too far away for Velvet to notice. Not to mention, Velvet was focused on something else, namely her book and the girl on her shoulder. She didn't notice the pictures being taken of her and Cass.

Cass woke up several hours later with a loud yawn. Smacking her lips together she looked up at the golden sky with her crimson eyes, blinking the sleep away.

"Afternoon already? Did I miss lunch?" she muttered softly. "Damn…"

"Good afternoon sleepyhead!" Velvet said happily, snapping her book shut. She looked down at Cass with a wide grin. "Arm feeling any better?"

"Mhmm, I guess." She snuggled into her side for a few moments before looking up at her again. "You're okay with this?"

"Huh?" Velvet blinked down at her in confusion. "Okay with what exactly?"

"Well seeing how we are," Cass purred, slowly sliding her arm around the now frozen bunny. "It look like we're kinda totally dating."

"W-w-what?!" she squeaked in shock. "I-I'm not dating you though! P-people know that we aren't, s-so if I let you rest on my shoulder i-it's not a big deal." Her face was crimson with embarrassment, her bunny ears twitching.

"You think Yang wouldn't tease us if she saw us like this?" Cass grinned and licked her lips, leaning in. She pressed her head to Velvet's chest and grinned. "Scared bunny?"

"N-n-not scared," she stammered out.

"Then why is your heart beating so fast?" Velvet didn't respond, instead looking away. "Are you actually interested in this…maybe?" She chuckled softly, Velvet's face getting to a darker shade of crimson as the seconds passed.

When Velvet opened her mouth to respond, Cass leaned in and kissed her firmly. Pinning her to the bench she slid herself on top of her, straddling the reserved and shy bunny girl. Velvet's eyes froze open wide for a few moments, her heart still pounding in her chest as she felt Cass's hands, one on each wrist, pin her.

The two of them held that position for what felt like an eternity. Cass kept her eyes closed while Velvet's drifted shut as she allowed herself to be held there. When Cass felt no fighting, she released Velvet's wrists and wrapped her arms around her, holding her there much more gently.

The sun was still sinking as the kiss ended, Cass backing off slowly. She could feel it in her own chest. Her heart mirrored Velvet's with how fast it was beating. A soft blush graced Cass's own pale white cheeks as she sat back on Velvet's lap.

"I guess I have my answer hmm?" Cass said softly as she sat there. "You like me don't you?"

Velvet didn't respond right away. Her eyes darted to the side, then to the other side, then to the ground and finally up to Cass. "Mhmm…I do. I think I do."

Cass and Velvet sat in silence for a few more moments before Cass leaned in and kissed her again. She held her there for a slightly shorter kiss before breaking it. She leaned in and rested her head under Velvet's own, her wolf ears twitching softly.

"Then…" Velvet said softly. "Do you feel the same way?"

Cass sighed softly into Velvet's chest. "I dunno," she admitted, Velvet's ears flopping down. "I feel a way I haven't before…but I dunno if this is love…"

"Does your heart do a little skip when we kissed?" Velvet asked softly. Cass nodded. "Do you enjoy seeing me?" Cass nodded. "Do you like cuddling with me?" Cass nodded again. "I'm no expert," Velvet admitted. "But I think you do…"

"Then…wanna do that thing I've heard others do? A…date?" Cass kept her face hidden under Velvet's so that velvet couldn't see how crimson her face really was.

Velvet beamed and patted Cass's head. "Sure! Does that mean we're girlfriends?"

Cass finally peaked up at her. "I thought we're already friends?"

"I mean like lovers."

"Oh, yeah sure," Cass muttered as she hid her face again. "We can head back in a bit though, okay? I just wanna rest some more out here…"

Velvet just began to stroke her long black hair, giving Cass time to relax and snuggle with her.

In the bushes Yang was spamming her finger against the camera function, taking thousands of pictures of the entire event. It was a scoop! More than a scoop, it'd be like finding a picture of Glynda and Ozpin doing it in his office, it was amazing!

The other two were watching with jaws dropped, Blake having the sense just to record the whole thing.

I am so blackmailing her with this, Yang thought as she grinned like a beast. I'm getting revenge for you Rubes! Watch me!

Some might say it's out of character for Yang to do that but I don't think so. What with Ruby being her sister and all, I think she'd lose an arm for her :3 Anyway I hope it was enjoyable. See ya'll next time!
