Cass was stretched out on couch in the library, a book propped open in one hand. She was skimming through the textbook for Grimm studies. It didn't really matter to her. It was just a way to pass the time while Velvet studied for real.

The rabbit Faunus was sitting at a nearby table, textbook open and scroll to the side. Cass looked over at her, looking her up and down. "Hey Velvet?"

"Mhmm?"

"I'm bored."

"And I'm studying. You should do it too, we have a test coming up soon, our finals."

"What's a test?" Cass asked, looking more curious than anything.

"Right, you haven't been in school for a while, right?" Velvet turned around from her chair and looked back at Cass. "A test is basically when we're asked about what we've learned in the past all at once."

"Oh. Okay." Cass rolled her eyes. "Who cares about that?"

"I do!" Velvet said with a huff. "We need to learn this material! This is a school after all."

"This is a combat school."

"It's still a school."

"Meh. I can be the brawn and you the brains," Cass said as she rolled off of the couch. She got behind Velvet and draped her arms around her, hugging her softly. "Alright?"

Velvet's face lit up and she stared at her papers. "W-we're in public," she hissed softly. "If we get seen like this…p-people might put two and two together."

"Sure you don't want to go public with this?" Cass asked, backing off from her hug. "Might be easier on you if we just did it and got it done with."

"Well…maybe…" Velvet conceded. "You don't mind?"

"It wasn't my problem to begin with," Cass grumbled. "You were the one all unsure if you wanted this to be public and stuff. And it's not like we have to go around and show it off. Just hold hands and stuff I guess?"

"Okay…" Velvet snapped her book shut. "Well I guess I can't focus on this anymore. Why don't we go back to our room?"

"Oh right. I got my own room," Cass said as she stood up. "Did I forget to tell you?"

"You did!" Velvet squeaked as she lifted all her books up. "You have to show it to me!"

"Sure." Cass pulled out her scroll as it dinged. Oz had a package to be delivered to the city. He also had something to be picked up at a bookstore. "Huh. Oh yeah, I also got a scroll."

"You need to tell me this stuff!" Velvet said with a pout. "I'm your girlfriend, remember? Can I have your number?"

Cass pulled up her number and gave it to Velvet. Velvet sent a text message to Cass who nodded when she got it. "I got your number."

"Good!" Velvet gave Cass a quick kiss, this time on the lips. "Share with the others too! You'll never know when you'll need it for an emergency."

Cass just shrugged. The duet walked first to CFVY's room. Fox was there, stretched out on his bed with headphones on, rock music playing. When they came in, he raised one end and looked at them. "What's up?"

"Just dropping off my stuff Fox," Velvet said, dropping her books on her bed. "I'm going to check out Cass's room!"

"Alright. Have fun," Fox said indifferently.

Cass and Velvet walked down the hall. Cass opened the door without any ceremony and led her in. "This is my room."

Velvet looked around and frowned. "It's not very special…you don't have decorations or anything…"

Cass just stared at her. "What would I decorate it with? What money do I have to decorate stuff?" A soft ping came from her scroll as she spoke. Checking it, her eyes went wide. "According to my account…I have 10,000 Lien to spend now."

"What? How?" Velvet's eyes narrowed. "Did you rob a bank when I wasn't looking?"

"What? No. I got a job," Cass growled. "Is 10,000 Lien a lot?"

"Um, well, if 1,000 Lien is enough to buy a lot of clothes and food, then that's enough to buy like, 2 scrolls." Velvet's ears twitched. "Who do you work for?"

"Oz."

"Oz?"

"I deliver shit."

"Ooooh…okay. That makes sense. He's probably busy." Velvet flopped onto Cass's bed and stretched out. "You have a soft bed, even softer than mine."

"I know." Cass looked at her and grinned. Launching herself from where she was she pounced on Velvet with a cheeky grin on her face. "You shouldn't have been laying like that though."

Velvet's arms were up above her head and her legs were stretched out. She blushed and squirmed under Cass but she was stuck. "C-cass don't do anything crazy."

"Aw? Why not?" Cass asked, leaning forward to nibble on her neck. Velvet let out a muffled whimper. "You offered yourself for me after all."

"N-not on purpose," Velvet protested, closing her eyes as she squirmed.

"Mmm, well oh well." Cass rose slowly, stealing a quick kiss before sliding back and off the bed. "I won't force you into anything."

"T-thanks," Velvet muttered as she sat up, cheeks crimson. "Thanks."

"No problem." Cass grinned as she saw Velvet stand up. She stepped up behind her and gently patted her ass. "Bunny buns."

Velvet squeaked and jumped as she was hit. "S-stop that!" she pouted. "I-I hate that nickname! Why'd you have to steal it from Coco?"

"Cause you have a nice ass," Cass said, her cheeky grin coming back in full force.

Velvet blushed and walked out of Cass's room. "D-don't you have a job to do?" she asked as she walked away. "G-go do it!"

"Will do!" Cass said cheerfully as she picked up the packages. She looked at the retreating Velvet and sighed. Maybe I went too far?

Cass hummed softly as she walked through Vale, packages in a bag they had been given in. Despite the heat, Cass had the hoodie drawn close over her face. It had ice dust in it so it had a cooling feature, keeping her at a nice temperature.

Cass opened the door to a dust shop and looked around. Canisters holding dust in a powder form hummed softly as they kept it at a safe temperature. An AC unit blasted on in the background as she walked to the old man behind the counter.

"From Oz," she said, placing the package on the table. Cass stood there, her crimson eyes glowing from within her hood. The man opened the box and pulled out a book, smiling.

"Ah, I'm glad he returned it," the man said.

Cass just nodded and turned to leave. "Ah wait," the man called out. "Your name is?"

"Cassandra."

"Well Cassandra. Thank you for delivering this," the man said. "This is a very important book to me, it's been passed through generations. Ozpin said he wanted it for research….I'm just glad you brought it back."

Cass just nodded and kept on walking. All that mattered was she got paid. Honestly I wondered what Ozpin would need delivered, but I'm glad it's just normal stuff like this, she thought to herself.

Her next stop was the mail depot. She went in, attached a few stamps and placed the letters he wanted sent into the mail. Some were from teachers back to family, friends, or relatives in remote areas with poor signals. Some were tax forms and the like. Cass didn't care.

Leaving the depot she turned around and walked into an alley behind it. Pulling the hoodie closer, she leaned against the wall and pulled out her scroll. 11:29. He should be here any minute now…

Another person wearing the same beacon hoodie entered the alley from the other end. He raised his arm and nodded. "Hunt the monsters?"

"Only myself," she growled as she tossed it to him. The code itself was written on a piece of paper strapped to it. The other guy caught it and nodded. He took off and vanished from the alley.

I swear this isn't what a normal headmaster would do…then again do I know what a normal headmaster would do? Cass asked herself as she left the alley. The note had also had some information about how what was in that package was vital to someone on a secret mission in the White fang or something. It didn't bother her.

Her last location was a bookstore. Tuscan's Book Trade to be exact. Cass walked in with her hood up, a tiny bell ringing to signal her arrival. When she looked around, she saw a Faunus man standing behind the counter. While it wasn't obvious, it was something she could smell.

She approached him, hood drawn. He looked down at her, curious. "What can I do for you?" he asked, voice deep.

Cass looked into her bag and pulled out the last parcel. "Here. From Ozpin," she said, sliding it over to him. He opened it slowly, tossing the wrapping into the trashcan with a perfect shot. When he saw a book called, The Third Crusade there, his eyes went wide in shock.

"How do you-"

"I'm the delivery woman," she growled. "Don't ask me."

As he flipped through the book, he saw tickets that would take him to Vacuo, as well as a credit card and an ID not under his name. "Thank you for bringing it here little one," he said, his voice soft and filled with gratefulness.

"I'm getting paid for this. Don't thank me," she growled as she turned to leave, a little bell ringing as she did so. As she left, she bumped into a girl with green hair who blinked at her in surprise.

"Sorry," the green haired, dark skinned girl said as she backed off. "Didn't see you there."

Cass just nodded and turned to leave, crumpling the bag she had and stuffing it into her pocket. A silver haired guy right behind the green haired one stared after her.

"She has a nice ass," he commented.

"Shut up Merc," the green haired girl said, hitting him in the chest. "Remember why we're here. We're not here to stare at others."

"Jealous Emerald?"

"Shut up," she grumbled as she went into the store. "Focus."

As Cass kept on walking, she froze when she was halfway down the street. Her ears perked up in her hood and she swiveled around, staring at the bookstore. Over the noise of traffic, she thought she heard the sound of gunshots. She stared at the bookstore for a few moments before shrugging.

Just my imagination, she told herself as she kept on walking. Maybe I need more sleep? I can't have my judgment getting clouded…

Cass stopped by a bakery as she was walking back to the bullhead station, eyeing something that she found rather appeasing. A smirk grew as she stared at it. This is perfect for you Velvet…

There was a knocking on team CFVY's door later that day. Fox was the only one in, but he didn't want to get up. "Ugh, who is it?" he groaned.

"Me," Cass said.

Fox shot out of bed and ran to the door, Opening it quickly, he gave her a worried look. "Were you going to break down the door?"

Cass blinked at him in confusion. "Why would I do that?"

"Um…no reason," he said, scratching the back of his head. "Anyway…do you need me or were you looking for Velvet?"

"Velvet."

"Ah. Check the library."

"Thanks." Cass turned and left, waving to him as she walked, the other hand holding a plastic bag.

Fox watched her go, sighing softly. Why'd I get all worried? She won't hurt me, not as long as Velvet's on my team. He walked back in, closing the door behind him. Back to relaxing…

Cass hummed softly as she kept on walking, bag in hand. She stopped humming as she saw others in the hall with her, biting her lip to remain quiet. Everyone gave her odd stares and was scared of her. Some were angry, but everyone had some degree of fear in them. She could taste it.

Shrugging it off she kept on walking. Entering the library she heard a commotion to one end. Both RWBY and JNPR were playing some kind of board game together and were being quite loud about it. Ruby and Yang were playing with Nora and Jaune while the rest were either studying or watching.

Cass approached them. Blake was the first to notice her and gave her a wary look. While she wasn't scared, she wasn't trusting. Ren noticed her next and gave her a polite nod which she returned, respecting his desire for peace. When Jaune looked up, his eyes went wide in shock.

"Guys," he hissed. "Cassandra is here." He was ready to piss himself, Cass tasted it. Pyrrha looked up and gave her as neutral a look as possible. She was still upset with how Cass saw fighting, but would let that slide, given time.

Weiss looked up then looked away. Her nails were more important.

Yang glared at her. "Oh hey Cass," she growled out through clenched teeth.

Ruby on the other hand felt like talking to Cass was like walking around a minefield. "Hey Cass," the crimson reappear said to the crimson eyed girl. "How are you?"

"Fine," Cass said, being curt. "Where's Velvet?"

"I dunno," Yang said with a wave of her hand. "Why don't you get out of here you monster."

"Yang!" Blake and Ruby chided.

"Well it's true!" She turned to Blake. "And don't act like that Blake! You saw what she did on the battlefield! She can't be called human or Faunus, she acts like a monster! Who the hell kills that many people? Lives matter! Even if they're our enemies" Yang stood up, rocking the table as she glared at Cass.

Cass glared back with just as much strength, lips twisting back into a snarl. "Careful blondie," she snarled, setting the bag on the ground. "You've seen how I fight. Don't fuck with me."

"You want to make this into a full on fight?" Yang asked while raising her fists. "I'll pummel you into the ground!"

"Y-yang c'mon stop this," Ruby said, trying to keep the peace. "We're all friends here and-"

"I'm not your friend," Cass said rather bluntly. "I'm nobody's friend here. If all of you died right now I wouldn't mourn any of your losses." Cass's fur bristled. "In fact I would really love to give a certain blonde the proper introduction between her face and my fist."

"CASS!" Velvet stormed up from nowhere. "Didn't we talk about this."

Cass's reaction was priceless. First she froze, then she bowed her head and looked at the ground, cheeks crimson as she shifted on the balls of her feet. "Sorry…"

"Didn't we talk about this earlier? Before you went into the hospital?" Despite being shorter than Cass, velvet managed to make Cass squirm and stare at the ground, her wolf ears flat on her head. "I thought you agreed to act nicer!"

"I did but-"

"No! You need to try harder!" Velvet had her hands on her hips as she leaned in and looked up at Cass. "Got it?"

"…Yeah…" Cass mumbled as she scratched the back of her head.

"Promise to try harder at not being mean and rude and an ass?" Velvet asked. Cass nodded sheepishly. "Good." Velvet turned to them. "Now. Did you guys do anything to cause Cass to get so upset?"

Nobody responded for a while. They were all shocked into silence, their jaws hanging open. The mean, asshole, crude, rude, arrogant, and general bad girl Cass was just shown up by Velvet, the tiny rabbit Faunus that was nice to everyone and could stand any amount of torment.

"Um…" Blake finally said, the first to snap out. "Yang did antagonize her a bit."

"Yeah," Ruby jumped in. "Both of them are in the wrong."

Yang sat down with a thump and looked away. "Well…whatever."

"Apologize Yang," Ruby said.

"I didn't say anything wrong!" she said stubbornly. "You saw it too," Yang said, looking at Velvet. "What Cassandra did on the docks? That's not normal. She has no morals."

"Well…her morals are skewed," Velvet conceded. "But she just sees the world different from the rest of us. That's neither good nor bad, right?" she said to the others.

The most nodded. Yang threw up her hands and flipped the table. "Whatever. I don't need this! I'm out." She stormed off, heading to the gym to release some steam.

Cass stared after her. "I have to apologize to her later right?"

"Yup."

"Fuck."

"Anyway," Velvet said, leaning against her. "What'd you bring?"

Cass's face changed from a frown filled with anger to a small grin. "Cake."

"Oooh." Velvet beamed as she lowered herself and looked through the bag. "One of these are for me?"

"Mhmm," Cass mumbled, smiling softly. "The top one's for you."

Velvet took it and lifted it up. Cass grabbed the table and flipped it back up, placing it between the three people that had been playing. Velvet placed the box and opened it. Rolling her eyes she looked up at Cass. "Carrot cake? Really?"

Cass reached out and ran a hand up Velvet's ear. "Well…you know…"

Velvet shivered in pleasure and closed her eyes. When she opened them, her cheeks were crimson. She swatted Cass's hand away and looked down at the cake slice. "You didn't bring forks did you?"

"Nope…I forgot," Cass admitted. "Sorry."

"Don't worry. I'll get some," she said, smiling as she turned away. "Be right back. Don't get in a fight when I'm gone, got it?" she warned. "Or else."

"I won't," Cass said. The moment Velvet left she whirled around and glared at them. "Don't you dare tell anyone what you saw!" she hissed.

"Why?" Ruby asked, smiling innocently. "It was cute!" Everyone else was grinning as well except for Weiss who was still filing her nails. They had seen a side of Cass that at least made them agree that there was something human about her.

"That's exactly why!" Cass slammed her hands on the table, startling the crimson reaper. "I don't do cute, got it? Velvet does, but I don't."

"But you just did," the little reaper said softly.

"And you enjoyed it," Pyrrha jumped in. "If anything, it seems like you're trying to fight yourself with this. Why? Are you scared?"

Cass scoffed. "I'm not scared. I don't get scared," she growled. "Getting scared is for weak people like you guys."

"You're scared of getting attached," Ren said calmly.

"Shut up!"

"You are~" Nora teased. "Heh heh. Don't worry."

"Velvet isn't the kind of person to abandon someone they care about," Ruby said, smiling. "She's a real nice girl."

Cass glared at all of them. "I hate all of you." She grabbed Yang's chair and turned it around before sitting down. "I'm…fuck it, yeah I'm scared of getting attached."

"Language," Pyrrha chided only to get flipped off.

"Don't like it, leave." Pyrrha didn't move. "Yeah. Anyway, I'm scared. I've never had anyone to like like this…and…well yeah. It's something new…"

"Aw, I wish Yang was here," Ruby sighed. "She'd enjoy teasing you about this." Cass just glared at her to silence Ruby.

"Just be yourself," Blake said calmly. "That's what she fell in love with after all, right? So long as you stay like that, you'll be fine."

Cass was silent for a few moments. "Thanks…" She looked up at them. "Why are you being nice to me? I'm not nice to you guys."

"Well yeah," Nora said, grinning. "But we forgive you. But if you hurt Velvet," she smashed her fists together. "We'll break your legs!"

"That's nice to know," Cass said, rolling her eyes. "But I have no intentions of hurting her."

"Besides that," Ruby said, looking into the bag. "Did you get us anything?"

Cass pulled the bag closer and shook her head. "No. Why would I have?"

"Aw~" Ruby whined, pouting. "Well I mean…oh you said we're not friends so I guess you don't have a reason…um…to be nice?"

"I'm not a nice person."

"Oh…" Ruby shrugged. "I was hopeful."

Cass opened the second box, showing a dark forest cake slice. "I guess I can give you some…" Cass mumbled. "I don't see the harm." Ruby's eyes lit up. "In return though," she began. "You tell your sister nothing of what happened here."

"Will do!" Ruby said, eyes twinkling.

The moment Velvet returned with the forks, Cass took hers and cut off the front inch of cake. She gave the fork to Ruby who ate it all in one fell swoop. Cass stood from her chair and turned it around, allowing Velvet to sit down.

"So…" Nora began, a conspiratorial grin on her face as she leaned in. "How far have you two gone?"

Cass looked at Velvet for a translation, but she got one from Ren instead when he saw her confusion. "She's asking what the most romantic thing you two have done is."

"We've gone on a date," Cass mused.

"Have you kissed?" Jaune asked, cheeks flushed.

"Lots," Cass said with a shrug, like it was nothing. "Why? Have you ever kissed anyone?"

"Plenty of-"

"Kissing family members on the cheek doesn't count Jaune," Blake muttered as she read her book.

"Oh…never mind then," Jaune said, rather dejected. "Well there was this time with-"

"And we're not talking about kissing anymore," Pyrrha said as she jumped in, covering Jaune's mouth. "Okay? Okay."

Cass's eyes twinkled but she said nothing. "Pyrrha, I have your silence with the Yang matter as well, right?" Pyrrha nodded. "Blake? Ren? Jaune?" They all nodded. "Nora?"

"Nope!"

"Why?"

"Why not?"

Oh for fuck's sake, Cass thought as face palmed. I'm not surprised she's the problem… "What about you Weiss?"

"I don't care about any of this."

"That's fine." Cass looked at Nora and sighed. "What do I have to do to bribe you?"

"Bribe her about what?" Velvet asked, nibbling on her cake.

Cass froze. "I…don't want anyone to know I can act all sweet and stuff," she admitted truthfully. "Nothing that big really."

"Well, if that's all then I guess I don't mind," Velvet muttered. "It's your choice after all. I can't stop you."

Cass leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. "Thanks." Everyone stared at her, causing Cass's cheeks to get slightly flushed. "What?!"

"Nothing," everyone said together except for Weiss and Nora. Nora was grinning.

"Have you two booped yet?"

"Nora!" Ren chastised. "That's a personal question! Why does it even matter?"

"I'm just curious Ren," she responded, looking at them. "Have you?"

"Nope," Cass said. "Not that I haven't asked her if she wanted to. Anyway Nora," Cass became serious. "What can I do to bribe you?"

Ren sighed. "Just make her pancakes." He looked to Nora. "If she made you pancakes would you stay silent?"

"Yes!" She said, jumping up. "And if you ever boop record it and show me!"

"Not sure on the second one," Cass grumbled. "But I'll agree to the first one."

Velvet sat there with flushed cheeks. Gradually, the conversation fell into nothing more than meaningless banter and playful talking. For the most part, Cass remained out of it, just relaxing. Sometime as they sat there, she had taken Velvet's hand in her own and had just gently held onto her, smiling softly for quite a while.

After an hour or so Cass released Velvet's hand and stood up. "I'll see you all later then." Kissing Velvet quickly she smiled. "I think you might have been right by the way, back at the hospital."

"Of course I was," Velvet said happily. "Haven't been wrong yet after all."

Cass left with a small smile teasing the edges of her face. She wiped it off when she left the library. I wouldn't be surprised if some people have seen what happened there, she thought to herself.

Cass made a beeline for the gym. Popping in she saw that there were many people. Some were in a pool doing laps, others were running on machines, others were lifting weights. Where the punching bags were, there were two people.

Yatsuhashi and Yang were there. Yatsuhashi was watching Yang train while Yang went to town on punching bag after punching bag. Already there were a dozen bags torn in half, their stuffing scattered on the ground and in chunks. Yang had on a pair of short shorts and a training top**, all of bright yellow with black accents.

"Another one!" Yang ordered as she smashed yet another bag to pieces. "Give me another one."

"Maybe you should slow down?" The samurai asked the blonde as he heaved another bag into the ring. "You have destroyed quite a bit of property. This will take out of your wallet quite a bit of money."

"Who cares?" Yang growled as she released a flurry of punches on the bag. "That bitch Cassandra pissed me off. I need to get rid of that anger," she snarled.

"I understand that but-" he began before noticing Cass. "Oh. Speak of the devil."

"Hey," Cass said calmly. "What's up?"

"Oh. You." Yang dropped the boxing gloves on her hands. "What do you want?"

"…Sorry," Cass said as she looked at Yang's back. "That's all."

"Hmph. You think sorry is enough?" She whirled around and jabbed an accusing finger at her. "How many people did you kill?"

"A lot."

"And you don't feel an ounce of pity?"

"Nope. They were my enemies, that's all that matters."

"What if we were your enemies?" yang asked as she walked forward, looking Cass in the eyes. "Would you kill us?"

"Without hesitation," Cass said calmly. "I wouldn't try to keep you alive. If you show your enemies mercy, they will only use it to either get revenge on you, or to kill you. Ending their lives was just a way to make sure they never did anything again."

Yang grabbed Cass but her collar and lifted her up slightly. "Lives matter more! You can't just kill someone even if they are your enemy! Even enemies deserve some respect in battle!"

"No, they don't," Cass said calmly. She was so calm, Yang dropped her in shock. "If an enemy is an enemy, all that matters is who wins. How doesn't matter." She shrugged. "Well, I've done my job." She nodded to Yatsuhashi. "See you two later."

"Bye," Yatsuhashi said while Yang just glared at her.

"I don't like her…not at all," Yang admitted to Yatsuhashi.

"Differing opinions from our own are important in any situation," he said, remaining calm. "Don't you think so?"

"Still…that's a really screwed up way to see your enemies." The door slammed as Cass left. "I don't like it. I think she has too many screws loose. If and when she loses more, I don't want her to be near my sister."

"Do you have a plan?" he asked.

"Nothing yet," she admitted. "But I'm keeping an eye on her for now." Looking up at him she gave him a small nod. "And you keep an eye on her as well. Who knows what she'll do to Velvet. Keep them safe, alright big guy?"

"I'll keep an eye on her," Yatsuhashi said. "But I think you're overreacting. I don't believe she'd do anything rash in the school, or in any situation in which she could be affected. She does care for Velvet."

"Uh huh, so she says." Yang lifted another bag onto the hook. "But I don't trust her. She's a sly, evil bitch. Trust me."

*I don't apologize for making a reference everyone does.

**I'm a guy and I don't do gym. I dunno WTF it's called. I honestly want to call it a training bra, but I don't know the name.

That's all folks! I hope you enjoyed it, next upload should be next Sunday/Monday/Tuesday, one of those days. It all depends on how much free time I have. Anyway, um, yeah, thanks for the continued support. Love you all! *hugs everyone except that one guy* You need to shower before you get a hug.
