Just getting right into it. Also, yay, continuity from past stories.

It started out, oddly, with hate. Many will say hate and love are two sides of the same coin, and my story proves this. Love, hate, the line blurs now. I haven't seen my family in months, nor do I want to, not that they'd accept me now anyway.

I was, as always, in Adam's bedroom. I hardly ever left it, only leaving to use the bathroom across the hall. After meeting that girl, the black haired faunus at Beacon, I wanted more. Faunus became an obsession. I couldn't help but want them, more than i'd ever wanted any man.

I started slacking on my duties, and Ironwood noticed. That half machine was only in my way, and caught up in the terribly bureaucracy of Atlas. So I had left, left the military, atlas, left my family behind, going to find the one man, the one faunus that could satisfy my craving: Adam Taurus.

He was the worst of them all, and it thrilled me. Me, the eldest schnee, former Atlesian Specialist, was crazy with lust for a terrorist, criminal, and some would say, a madman. He had personally attacked our family, driving our father into rages that made for a difficult childhood. He was the one responsible for every bad thing in my life, but oh, how I wanted him.

It wouldn't be easy, that I knew. I was a Schnee, a target, someone the White Fang would attempt to capture on sight to later be ransomed and killed. That was the biggest hurdle, and my greatest advantage. All I had to do was walk unarmed through the bad parts of Vale, and the White Fang did the rest. I heard them coming a mile away, of course, and my instincts told me to fight. But when they "sneaked" up behind me and put a bag over my head, i didn't struggle, didn't even make a move to escape.

"Oh, you got me". It came out as more excited than frightened, but they took me away nonetheless, not even considering that maybe it was a trap. It wasn't, at least, not in the normal sense. They put into some sort of car, or van, and we drove for some amount of time.

Eventually, i was dragged out, forced down to my knees on the ground, the bag still on my head. The were sounds all around me, chatter, hammering, shouts, and the sound of sword on sword combat. Clearly a White fang encampment. Then voice spoke above me.

"Well, well, well….this is certainly a..pleasing surprise" the bag was pulled off, revealing a dimly lit tent, tables piled with SDC boxes, a map of Vale on the back wall. "If it isn't a Schnee…" I looked upward, seeing my goal sneering down at me.

"Adam...Taurus" the name felt good on my tongue, smooth, and sensuous, and unfamiliar at the same time. "I've wanted to meet you for, quite some time."

"Is that so. Tell me, if one of your greatest enemies was brought before you, what would you do?" he asked this with an evil smirk, his gloved hand drifting to his sword hilt. I felt a smile tugging at my lips, but i forced it down.

"I'd want to know why they let themselves be caught, without a weapon, and without a fight"

The entire tent fell quiet. Adam was tense, hand gripping his sword. The grunts who had brought me in looked as if they knew how low their life expectancy was. When Adam spoke again, it was with extreme forced calmness.

"And why would you do that...Schnee…"

My natural instinct was to tell some lie that would cause a mass panic, but with him right there infront of me, I remembered what I was here for. "To meet you, Adam." Adam stood up, waving a hand to dismiss he guards.

"You risked your life, and the lives of you...family" he spat the last word as if it were poison "just to meet me, you arch rival. Me, the person who personally targets you and your father's company." he paused, taking a breath to calm himself. "And you expect me to believe this isn't some kind of trap?"

I was silent for awhile. He did have a point, one that I had only considered in passing. "I'll tell you why I am here, Adam." he stood expectantly, waiting. "I...desire you" whatever he had expected, it wasn't that. He stood, turning away, he raised up his arms, and with a slight shrug, his trenchcoat fell to the floor. When he turned around, my heart seemed to stall. With the jacket gone, what had been previously hidden now was obvious. The curve of the hips, finely shaped arms, the slight protrusion of the chest. He, was actually, a she.

"You...you..you're a…" I couldn't even speak.

"Surprised?"she asked, kneeling down, cupping my cheek. Ever her voice had changed, from the manly growl to a sweet melodic tone. "It is amazing what notoriety and a trenchcoat can do." she stood, pulling me up by my hair.

"But..how, your voice?" She dragged me over, throwing me into a chair. Then reached down to the abandoned coat, pulling something from the collar. It was a plain looking black box, about the size and shape of a matchbox, with a wire ending in a small jack.

"A miniature voice synthesizer, which plugs directly into my neck, to alter how I sound." with her jacket off, I could see the small hole where it plugged in. dropping the synthesizer, she climbed into my lap, facing me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I reached up, holding her face.

"Can I remove your mask?" I wanted to see her eyes. The desire to see them coursed through me, a heat I rarely felt, being so used to cold, both inside and out. She slowly nodded, and so I hooked my fingers around the edge of the mask, pulling it away. Her eyes were closed at first, but they slowly opened. Her eyes were beautiful, hazel in color, and larger then I expected.

She pulled me into a kiss, while at the same time digging her nails into my neck. I could feel her hatred for humans in the kiss, and I loved it. she was the one I hated to love, and loved to hate, and I knew she felt the same.

after that first day, Adam took me to her apartment in Vale. at first, she would lock me in, as well as cuffing my ankles. but after the first month, when i made no attempt to escape, or even call anyone, she let me roam free. whenever she was home, she would eat dinner, or breakfast, depending on the time, then she'd eat me. it was the best life ever. the freedom, lack of a plan, wildness, everything so different from uptight atlas. I never wanted to go back.

BOOM, Fem!Adam. bet y'all didn't see that one coming! *mic drop* peace out!
