A/N: Sorry this took a bit longer to release. I was doing RWBY relationship Week stories first off. Second, life has been keeping me busy, so I might not update as quickly as I'd like to. So just a heads up the next chapter I'm working on will take a while. Keep sending me prompts though, that way I can have stuff to write if I happen to make time for 'em. Anyways, since I did that White Rose chapter it was suggested that I do a Bumbleby one as well. I happily obliged of course, and I hope you find this to your liking. If this chapter seems kinda shoddy then I would blame that on me stressing myself out with exams and projects. It may have reflected itself into my writing, though I really hope not. Anyways prompt.

Blake tries to relax, but a fiery blonde won't leave her alone.

Edit: 10-01-14 Fixed some grammatical error and altered text slightly in accordance to Yang's true Semblance.


Blake was strolling outside for once, instead of staying cooped up in their most recent hideout.

She and Adam had recently arrived at a small town that resided on the outskirts of a big city where Adam's next mission was.

As usual, Blake was left alone to her own devices while he was out on an assignment. She decided that some fresh air would do her some good.

She also didn't want another emotional episode to occur like the last time she was left alone.

Blake was carrying a book with her as she traversed the town aimlessly, she had decided it was best to leave Gambol Shroud at their hideout since it would most likely draw unwanted attention.

She was in search of finding the perfect spot to read her book at when she happened to find a playground near some small woods. It seemed decent enough.

There were a few children playing there, so she opted to sit under a tree at the edge of the woods. She leaned back against the base of the tree and had her legs propped up in front of her. Opening her book she began reading and immersed herself into a different universe.


Yang released a lengthy sigh before flopping face first onto the living room couch. She was bored out of her mind.

Their Dad had taken Ruby to her swimming class, though he offered Yang to come along too. She declined, partly because she wasn't in the mood to swim, but also due to the fact that she didn't want to wait forever for her hair to dry.

She would occupy herself with a video game or the television, but she's beaten all her games and her favorite show didn't come on until way later in the day.

Pushing herself up off the couch she gazed out a window watching the sunlight filter in. Well it looked nice enough outside, she could always take a walk.

Yang twirled the chain that her spare keys to the house were on as she walked down the street. The other end of the chain was linked to the belt loop of her black cargo shorts to ensure she wouldn't lose it like the last ones she had.

She decided she would walk to the park to pass some time, and with some luck, maybe some of her friends were hanging out around the small playground. However, as she neared her destination she was disappointed to find that none of her buddies were in sight. She groaned irritably slumping over in a defeated posture.

Clipping her keys to another one of her belt loops, she stood up and was prepared to return home, but something unusual caught her eye. Well not really something but someone, a person she's never seen around the neighborhood before.

Yang had spotted a dark haired girl wearing monochrome colored clothing some distance away from the other children in the playground. She was sitting against one of the many trees that made up the woods and was reading a book, from what Yang could tell.

She looked at this strange girl curiously, sitting alone and reading rather than spending this lovely day playing.

What kind of person goes outside to read instead of play?

She began to approach the girl, and as she neared she noticed that the girl was wearing a black bow atop her head. It looked appropriate, matching with her clothing, though Yang thought it did look a bit silly on the girl. They almost looked like a pair of Faunus ears.


Blake didn't notice the girl nearing her secluded spot, as she had her nose buried in a book. It wasn't until she heard the sound of someone loudly clearing their throat that she returned to the real world. A bit irritated at being interrupted, she looked at the offender with a glare.

She was skeptical to see a girl with thick, long blonde hair and mirthful lilac eyes standing in front of her. This blonde beauty was probably here to bother her into playing or something. They looked about the same age, she was maybe twelve or thirteen years old, so most likely trying to find another person her age to play with.

"What do you want?" Blake said frostily, wary of the stranger.

Yang didn't quite appreciate the tone of this girl's voice, but she kept herself friendly.

"Hey, no need to be so feisty!" Yang tried placating, putting her hands up in surrender. "I was just wondering what you were doing."

"Isn't it obvious; I'm reading." Blake replied, her haughty tone riling up Yang.

"What kind of dork brings a book to a playground?"

"What kind of dork talks to strangers?" Blake retorted. "Didn't your parents ever teach you not to?"

"Didn't your parents teach you how to have fun?" Yang countered.

"Or how to make friends." She mumbled after.

Little did she know, Yang had caused a pang of melancholy to trigger in Blake at that final statement. Reminding her of one of the many reasons for her loneliness. The emotional pain turned into anger, a fury she directed at the naïve blonde.

"You don't look like you're better off. Where are your friends? You probably don't have any, not with that attitude." Blake nearly growled at the girl.

Yang was caught off guard by the dark-haired girl's sudden ferocity burning in her eyes. Focusing her attention away from her serious stare, she soon recovered and was further fueled by the hostility.

In her temper the only thing Yang could seem to focus on was the girl's bow. Without considering the consequences, her hand darted out and grabbed a hold of the girl's dark bow, hearing a cry of shock from her. Yang paid no heed as she continued to pull at the accessory until it was removed.

"Hah! Now what are ya gon-" Yang's mouth hung open in shock as she gazed at the girl's head, now lacking the black bow.

A pair of small kitty ears flattened against dark locks as the girl glared at Yang.

"Give. It. Back." Blake's voice was low, but the menace dripping from the words did not go unnoticed.

However before Yang could react a shout captured both girls' attention.

"Hey look it's one of those freaks!" A boy shouted.

He was with three other boys, all of them looking to be around the same age as the two girls. One boy was fairly taller than the others and more muscled. What looked to be the smallest of the group had a mohawk, he was the one who called out. One of the others had his hair grown out long, making him look kind of like a girl. While the last boy had feathery blonde hair, and looked like he was always squinting.

The group sauntered towards them, roughly shoving past Yang and targeting the recently revealed Faunus girl.

"Just look at them, they're so weird." One of the boys stated. Obviously talking about Blake's kitty ears.

"Those can't be real, they've gotta be fake!" Another exclaimed.

"Well there's only one way to find out." The tall boy nodded to his pals who grinned wickedly in return.

They spread out around Blake, trapping her against the tree with no easy escape.

Yang was still somewhat in a daze from the speed of things, but seeing the other girl being taken advantage snapped her out of it. Yang was became irritated at the boys and herself; she felt guilty for her actions. If she hadn't pulled off her bow the girl wouldn't be getting harassed like this. She started this fight, and she planned on finishing it herself.

Meanwhile, Blake watched as the leader of the group reached a hand out to grip her ears. She really wished she had brought Gambol Shroud, it would've scared off guys like this from even approaching her. She thought of fighting back, but remembered Adam's words earlier that day echoing in her head to not draw attention to herself no matter what.

Adam would have to understand that she had no other choice.

As Blake prepared herself to defend against the bullies she heard a small eruption coming from behind the group. Startled by the loud noise the boys turned around quickly to find the source. Before them stood a seething Yang, flames engulfing her entire body. Everyone was awestricken by the sight.

"Leave. Her. Alone." Yang looked to the group of boys with glowing red eyes of rage.

The boys didn't make a single move, too shocked at Yang's appearance. The flames subsided gradually as Yang had taken this as a sign of surrender. However, when the leader noticed this he decided to start a tussle.

"Neat trick Blondie, but I bet you can't handle a fight against four." He said smugly.

Yang's still crimson eyes sparked with excitement as she smirked mischievously.

"Bring it."

The boys charged her all at once, probably thought they would intimidate her that way. Too bad for them Yang was used to beating up multitudes of kids like them. Though her dad wouldn't praise her for that fact.

As the leader neared her first Yang dropped to the ground to perform a sweeping kick, successfully knocking the boy off his feet and causing him to stumble forward face first onto the ground. As he curled up on the ground covering his face, the long haired boy continued charging. Yang didn't have enough time to dodge, so she blocked his swinging fist as it arced toward her. When he attempted another punch Yang took the opportunity to use his momentum against him, swiftly moving aside to grab his arm, and using her unusual strength, she tossed him over her shoulder and onto the ground. The boy remained writhing on his back in agony, and Yang turned her attention on her next opponent.

Upon seeing two of his pals fall, the blonde-haired boy circled around behind Yang as the tiny mohawk kid charged at Yang recklessly. She head-butted him and held him up by the collar of his shirt. Her red eyes staring into his, she then dropped him in a heap on the ground. He quickly rose up and ran away, making Yang laugh at his cowardice. However this small distraction made her forget about the last boy in the group, who was slowly approaching her from behind and about to strike.

The whole time Blake had been watching the tussle with disbelief. She couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that this girl, who had been hostile towards her just moments before, was now defending her. What made her even more intrigued was the fact that a regular human was defending a Faunus. Blake had thought that all humans discriminated against the Faunus, but this odd girl seemed to disprove that.

Blake had to smile a bit when she saw the girl laughing as the tiny mohawk kid scampered away from the her. Said girl looked over at Blake with a toothy grin, her eyes returning to a lilac color. Blake couldn't help but smile back and blush a little from the sudden attention. When Yang had seen the Faunus girl smile back at her she couldn't help but feel like her knight in shining armor, even though she was the one who started this whole mess to begin with.

However, Blake soon had to brush away the warm feelings when she noticed the last boy was coming up behind the oblivious blonde brawler. Without hesitation Blake used her Semblance to shadow travel swiftly behind the girl and made an open palm strike under the boy's jaw, knocking him backwards to the ground.

Yang's smile dropped when she saw the girl's expression change to a grim look, and then she seemingly vanished before her eyes. It was an odd sight to see the girl dissipate into nothingness, which made Yang worry that she might have been dreaming the whole day.

It wasn't until she heard the audible thud of someone landing on the ground that she turned around to find the girl behind her, and she had taken out the last boy in the group. As the dark haired girl faced her Yang couldn't help her outburst.

"Holy crap. That was so awesome!" Yang looked at the Faunus girl with sparkling eyes of admiration. "You, like, made a weird ninja illusion of yourself and teleported, how the heck did you do that?"

Blake blinked several times, completely caught off guard by the blonde's enthusiasm. Without any restraint, she burst into a fit of laughter. She held her abdomen as she bent over guffawing. When she noticed the girl looking at her baffled, she decided to calm herself down. She had to wipe a tear from her eye from laughing so hard.

"I'm sorry, it's just I wasn't expecting that kind of a reaction from you." Blake said with a smile.

Yang returned the smile, and when she saw one of the girl's kitty ears flick her smile grew wider at how cute that looked. Then she remembered something important; she still had the bow. In fact, she had been holding the bow the entire time during the tussle. Yang looked down at the hand grasping the bow and frowned. The bow had gotten singed pretty badly because of her Semblance. Yang looked back up at the girl and was about to apologize, but was silenced when the girl raised a hand up to stop her.

"Don't worry about my bow, I have more than just one ribbon, so it's not a big deal." Blake reassured the other girl.

Yang sighed in relief. "Oh, that's good. I was worried you would get mad at me again." She admitted with a nervous chuckle.

During their exchange the boys on the ground began to groan and shift, slowly rising off the ground. Blake gave the girl one last look before dashing off toward the direction of the hideout. She could hear one last exclamation from the girl, "Wait! I didn't get your name!", but it would go unanswered as Blake was already too far to reconsider turning back. Besides, after Adam finishes his mission it's not like they would stick around long afterwards.

Having been left behind Yang felt an immense disappointment at never learning the Faunus girl's name. Another agonized groan reminded her of the bullies getting back up. Not feeling up to having another tussle, she decided to quickly make her way back home before they regained full consciousness.

Later in the day her dad received a call on his scroll from an angry parent of one of the boys she beat up. Apparently, tiny mohawk kid ran home to mama and cried about being beat by a girl. Her dad didn't give too harsh of a punishment though, after hearing Yang's side of things, but he still grounded her from the T.V. for technically starting the fight. So much for watching her favorite show.

Ever since that day Yang had never forgotten that girl, keeping the singed bow as a reminder and constantly going to the park in hopes of meeting her again.

Unbeknownst to her, the girl would never return to the park, for she had already moved on to the next town shortly after. Though Blake would never forget the fiery blonde that defended a Faunus against her own species.


A/N: Welp there ya go! The group of boys is 'spose to be CRDL if the brief descriptions weren't clear enough. It seems the shipping chapters tend to be much longer than any of the others. Probably due to writing about two people's perspectives rather than one. Or cuz I'm having fun. Either one works. I hope this came out okay and that you enjoyed the antics. Don't forget to leave your ideas for the next Intermission. Thanks for reading!
