Story Start!
'Heh, Iron, you crazy idiot.' Naruto thought as he stood outside of the ballroom, where Ozpin was giving a speech at the moment, and watched his friend complete another lap around the school. Thanks to his ears, he was able to hear what was going on at the speech, without having to actually be at the speech itself.
He meant idiot in an endearing way of course, seeing as even Iron admitted it himself that he could be a bit lacking upstairs.
He would fill in Iron on what he missed during Ozpin's speech later.
"Naruto!"
"Velvet?" Naruto asked when he looked across the grassy field leading to the dorms, and he saw his slightly older sister walking towards him. He smiled when he saw her though. She must have decided to come and visit him, seeing as it was something siblings did. He was surprised that she didn't meet him at the airship itself, but then again, she didn't like crowds all that much either.
Naruto sweatdropped when she tripped halfway through walking towards him.
Right on her face.
She got back up though, and started to walk while pretending she didn't eat dirt. She dusted herself off as she walked, and failed to play it off as cool. He did smile wider though, happy to see her again. She and he didn't look as much alike as he would have liked, seeing as he got the weird blond hair and blue eyes in the family, but the resemblence was there. They had the same faces for the most part, though his had whisker marks. They were also about the same height... and had long rabbit ears.
They also wore similar combat outfits, though instead of her tight short-shorts, he wore men's shorts, and he had orange.
"You didn't see that right?" Velvet asked with a awkward smile on her face.
Way to reunite with her brother.
"See what?" Naruto asked, letting her know not to be embarassed over it. She gave him a look, and he smiled sheepishly. Yeah, embarassment kind of ran in the family, as did shyness, timidness, and bashfullness.
Rabbit Faunus.
Velvet smiled and gave him a hug, and he returned the hug willingly and happily. If there was anyone in his family, other than his mother, that he was completely comfortable around, it would have to be Velvet. He was close to all of his family, but his mother and Velvet were just a little bit closer than the rest.
Velvet showed this by walking up to him and placing her chin on his shoulder, and he got closer to her and did the same.
"Nice to see you again. Beacon is a great school, and I'm happy you decided to come here." Velvet told him with a broad smile.
She missed all of her family, and she had missed them for the entire year that she had been away from them. Now that she was reunited with her little brother, well... her favorite sibling (as a sibling, she was allowed to have a favorite, she wasn't a parent) that is. She had willingly allowed him to copy her Semblence after all, after they had learned what his Semblence was when he accidently copied the Semblence to their older sibling.
Awkward day that was.
"The Kingdom of Vale is a... little odd, but not bad like others can be..." Naruto spoke happily as he walked with his sister, she had started to walk, so he walked after her. She was going to take this moment to show him all around campus he guessed. "... You smell like cinnamon." Naruto pointed out to Velvet with a raised eyebrow.
She smiled with slightly red cheeks.
"I'm in heat, and I've been chewing on cinnamon to help with it." Velvet spoke more quietly than before as she talked about the reason she smelled like cinnamon.
Naruto's eyes widened for a moment.
"When did you start going into heat?" Naruto asked with surprise in his tone. Velvet had never gone into heat before at home, he would know. This had to have started after she had started coming to Beacon, otherwise he would have known. It could have also been after he had moved to Vale and somewhat lost some contact with some of his family. He tried to keep in contact with them when he could though.
Velvet going into heat was cause for celebration, she was a fully grown woman now.
"A few months after I got to Beacon. My stomach hurts a lot from the cinnamon... I can't help but pity human women. If this is what they go through for periods." Velvet said with a groan as she placed her hand over her upset stomach. Like rabbits, cinnamon was... not good for them. It caused them a lot of stomach irritation, but it nearly completed negated their desire to breed... using pain as a motivator.
Most Faunus women did not go through periods, seeing as only Primates and very few other animals went through periods. For most Faunus women, when the egg is just reabsorbed into the body if it did not get fertilized. So, women from most faunus species simply never experienced what it was like to get a period.
They did go through monthly, weekly, or yearly periods of "heat" when they could get pregnant.
"... I wouldn't know, I don't go into Heat like you do." Naruto pointed out to her, and she nodded her head.
"Yeah, but your first Heat will be coming up pretty soon... You didn't already have one while I was away, did you?" Velvet questioned him with a stare right into his eyes. She didn't want to miss an important moment in his life. It was the time when a girl was considered to be a woman by their standards.
They may share a lot of looks with humans... but faunus were NOT human.
They were not animals either.
Their genetics were completely unique. They held within a unique body that allowed them to produce many different animal traits. The mysteries of their DNA baffled even other faunus... the only reason that both Velvet and Naruto were rabbit faunus, were because both of their parents were rabbit faunus. If one of their parents had been a dog faunus... who knows what kind of faunus they could be. They could have even become a spider-faunus or something like that.
The inner workings of their bodies were different than humans, but close enough that they had compatible DNA with humans... because they did have some human in their DNA as well it would seem.
"... I wouldn't say I've had one... but..." Naruto trailed off with red cheeks as she showed him to the area where the first years would be staying for the night.
Velvet looked at Naruto, and blinked.
"You mean... You think you're about to start your Heat?" Velvet asked with some surprise, before she smiled.
That was great news.
"Hey Naruto, what are you talking about!?"
"Nothing!" Naruto and Velvet shouted out in shock when they saw Yang and Ruby coming up on them from behind, not having all that sensative hearing they didn't catch the conversation. Yang looked between the blushing Naruto and Velvet, before her eyes narrowed suspiciously at Velvet.
The way Naruto and Velvet seemed... close was weird to her, and it filled her with jealousy.
"So... who is this?" Ruby asked as she gestured between Naruto and Velvet. She could see that they were close, and they shared some resemblence... but other than... well they also wore similar combat clothes.
"My/His sister." The siblings spoke together.
Yang instantly calmed down.
"Hello then, I'm Yang... and this is my little adorkable sister Ruby." The blond haired girl introduced herself, and her sister, with a deep bow to Velvet to show some respect. She didn't know what part of the world that Velvet came from, but half of the world used bowing as a sign of respect. She was going to play it safe, and try and get on her love's families good sides if all possible.
"She means adorable."
"I know what I said." Yang pointed out with a smirk at Ruby, who gave Yang a swift punch to the ribcage for her joke. "Sheesh, just a joke... So... I'm desperately in love with you Naruto, will you go out on a date with me?" Yang asked as she got down on one knee and proposed to Naruto as if she was asking him to marry him.
Naruto sighed, though his cheeks turned red, while Velvet stared between Naruto and Yang. Yang had a grin on her face, her cheeks just as red as Naruto's, as she confessed her love once more.
She refused to give up.
"What is going on?" Velvet whispered to Naruto.
"I'm sorry Yang, maybe another time." Naruto answered back to her, and Yang bonked herself on the head and stood back up. Playing off the rejection, before she smiled and made a gun out of her hand.
She pointed it at his heart and pulled the trigger.
"I'll blast my way through those defenses, and capture your heart. Just you wait and see... though I'm hungry, and I'm serious. You want to get something to eat. It doesn't have to be a date... but my stomach is empty." Yang spoke with her stomach, audibly growling for food. She rubbed it with a sheepish smile, and Naruto nodded his head after a moment.
Velvet was just confused.
"... Seriously, who is she?" Velvet whispered to Naruto more urgently than before. She had no clue what to make of this in the slightest.
A girl so casually confessing her love?
"I'm feeling hungry too, I think some food is awesome right about now... " Ruby commented as she placed a hand on her belly.
She could go for some food.
"You can get some snacks from vending machines nearby." Velvet pointed out, and Ruby nodded her head and started to skip on her merry way. Yang looked at her go, before she pointed to her.
"I... better make sure she doesn't get lost. She has like no sense of direction. Nice meeting you Velvet, I'll make you mine Naruto." Yang spoke as she walked off after Ruby, and she then started to run when she saw Ruby getting further ahead of her.
...
"So... what is the story there?" Velvet wondered out loud to him. Naruto sighed and rubbed the side of his head.
What a story it was.
"It's a long story... that I don't really want to talk about. She confessed her love to me, and I rejected her... but she still keeps trying. I have to admire her determination though." Naruto genuinely praised Yang, glad she wasn't there to hear him say any of it. Velvet was nodding her head a little slower than normal, processing the information.
There were more important things to talk about.
"If it looks like you are going into heat, stay away from her." Velvet told Naruto, and he nodded his head. "I'll tell mom the good knews. See you later." Velvet spoke, and Naruto waved at her as she started to walk away.
He had a lot of mental prep to do for tomorrow.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots Of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
The "Heat" that Faunus go through is not like the "Heat" that normal animals go through, though it does share some similarities. There will be things that are the same, and things that will be different. There will also be differences between what happened in the original story, and what will happen in this one. Hope you enjoy it.
