Ok, first of all I just received a letter when I'm going to NS (National Service) in Singapore as of yet, I would officially begin it on 14 February. This would mean a lot of things, first I won't be able to post every so often as I usually do, next, I would only have my weekends to work on this story and that means probably every two weeks I would be able to post one chapter, and lastly, I'm not putting it on hiatus for two years. I would still try to give you guys content to read as to the abilities as I can. Further details will be in my profile picture. Besides that, let's move on to the comments.
LilBoiaSenpai: Funny… I also had the same idea of having two or three chapters of pure fluff and an omake for fun as well before moving on to Volume 2. A very interesting idea you had suggested regarding Blake discarding her bow as a disguise due to Jade and how it would affect her character. I see if I can implement it in a future chapter, Thanks for the suggestion by the way.
But anyways, lets get on with this chapter.

Chapter 10
A New Beginning
It was morning since both Blake and Jade confessed to each other yesterday. All of team RWBY (and Jade) were in their beds as the sun began to shine through their window. Both Ruby and her older sister Yang, were the first to get up from their beds. As they got out of their beds, they encountered an unusual sight of both Jade and Blake (who is not wearing her bow) cuddling together happily in Blake's bed.
Both of them had their arms clearly wrapped around each other while nuzzling each other, though they weren't aware, both of them held tightly to each other as if neither one of them wished for the other to leave anytime soon. If the sisters were to listen closely, they would be able to hear both of them purring quietly, though they were too busy cooing at what they saw.
"Aww… this is adorable." Yang whispered as she took out her scroll to take a photo for blackmail. (She got it back from Blake after she promised not to show it to anyone.)
"Yang, bad, no blackmailing teammates while they are asleep. Unless you want what happened yesterday to happen again." Ruby quietly scolds her sister.
"Eh, don't worry about it Ruby, they won't find out about it." Yang reassured her sister, but Ruby still remains unconvinced.
"Yang…" Ruby muttered.
"I'll buy you cookies if you allow me to take at least one photo." Yang says as he led out a couple of Lien in her hand.
Ruby's eyes widened at the thought of cookies but she remembered the situation and tried her hardest to resist the bribe of cookies only to fold. "Ugh. Fine." Ruby grumbled as she walked into the bathroom.
Yang chuckled darkly as she looked back at the two feline love birds cuddling in their bed with her scroll in hand and took a shot of them before walking off as if nothing had happened in the first place.
Weiss was next to wake up and only just noticed the two of them still sleeping in their beds when it's 7 am in the morning with Yang on the chair near the bathroom with her scroll out and a smile on her face.
"Morning Yang." Weiss muttered as she got off her bed.
"Morning Weiss." Yang says back as Weiss approaches her.
"Ruby is in the shower?"
"Yeeeep."
"And those two had been sleeping together huh?"
"Yep, and I got a good shot." Yang says back as she continues looking through her scroll.
"Should we wake them up?"
"Hmm… naaa, let them rest, they look happy over there." Yang answered as Ruby exited the toilet in her school uniform.
"Ok, next." Ruby said as Yang walked into the bathroom.
"So, you allowed Yang to take a photo of them sleeping?"
"I mean I tried to stop her but she promised me cookies if I let her take only one photo. I mean it's only one, what can it do right?"
"Of course, you would allow that to happen, but I digress, should we tell team JNPR about Blake's faunus identity?"
"Well, they seemed fine with Jade, so I guess it would be ok if I say so."
Sometime later...
Jade could be described as blissfully happy and comfortable as he woke up in Blake's arms, though slightly embarrassed that he yielded so easily to Blake's request but it's not like it mattered to him after all. Sleeping with his girlfriend that he confessed just yesterday would and will be remembered as the best thing that had ever happened to him in a long time. After all, who wouldn't?
As Jade continued to watch Blake sleep in his arms silently and with the occasional purring that he just finds adorable coming from her. Jade knew that they would need to get up, after all most likely the others are up already and like hell he is going to let Yang get more blackmail material from both of them, though unaware that Yang already did it.
"Blake?" Jade called to her.
"Hmm?" she hummed back as her amber eyes opened to meet green eyes in return.
"It's time to wake up."
"Nooo…" Blake responded back almost childishly as she buried her face into his chest.
Jade sighed while not denying that it made Blake cuter in his eyes before continuing on. "I know, but we got classes, and I think our team knows what we are doing."
As if the mention of her teammates struck her, Blake Shot up from her bed and nearly banged her head on Yang's bed while Jade just looked completely bemused and chuckled as he got off her bed, only to meet the rest of his teammates all in their uniform and waiting for them.
"Oh… you saw everything?" He asked
"Yeeeeep…" Yang was the first to speak.
"Ok, Blake you can use the bathroom first, I can wait for a while." Jade said to Blake as she got off her bed and rushed into the bathroom.
The dorm was in complete silence for a while except for the sounds of Blake in the bathroom. Understandably uncomfortable that most of team RWBY were looking directly at Jade with different expressions ranging from curious to teasing. (that's Yang by the way)
"First of all, I did not do anything with Blake yet. It's waaaay too early for that to happen at all I swear."
"Don't worry about it Jade, I know you are not that kind of person." Weiss joined in.
"You know I have never seen Blake so happy at all until both she and Jade hook up." Yang continued to scrolling through her scroll.
"Really?" Ruby asked her sister.
"Yea, when Jady," Jade gave a disapproving glare at Yang but she continued. "was injured and unconscious, she was very upset about it, and now? After both of them confessed their feelings together? It's a 180 for her right there, now she is really happy."
The team continued to chat for a while till all of them were ready, it was then team RWBY (and Jade) headed towards the dining hall for breakfast with both lovers holding hands (Oh the Degeneracy!), on the way there, they encountered their sister team JNPR, who were understandably surprised that he was up seemingly fine at all, after all, when they heard about what had happened to Jade, they visited him while he was unconscious but he assures them that he is fine. Nora on the other hand was ecstatic that her 'Royal drink maker' was in much better state and that he could continue making more honey-lemons for her much to Jade annoyance. (He should really teach Ren how to make it.)
Jade and Pyrrha had yet to duel yet and both of them were itching to finally have a spar. Of course, Blake was against the idea (much to JNPR's surprise) as Jade had just recovered from his injury. Realising that their sister team was not aware of what had happened, both Blake and Jade had to explain to them that they were a couple now which all of them congratulated. (Jaune still doesn't realise that Pyrrha likes him even though she had been giving hints. The guy is dense a fucking brick.) Nora being Nora, proclaimed on how there would be little kitties running around within a couple of years, this of course caused Jade and Blake to Blush up and cried out at Nora for what she had said.
It was much later that the team had arrived at the dining hall and began to enjoy their breakfast. Nora had begun her story telling session as usual, it was then that Jade decided to ask Blake.
"Blake, I believe we should tell them that you are a faunus."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Well, they accepted me when I first joined in, so I see no difference should you reveal to them as well." Jade answered back.
"What are you guys talking about?" Yang butted in.
Both Blake and Jade looked at each other before nodding and addressing Yang.
"Yang, can you get JNPR's attention?"
"Oh ok." Yang nodded once she understood what Jade had asked of her. "Guys! Blakey here has something to say to you guys."
That did the trick as all of JNPR's attention was on the couple with their team nodding at them at what needed to be done.
"Guys… I have been keeping a secret from you guys."
"And it is?" Jaune asked.
"Oh! Are you a man?" Nora popped in and asked which caused Jade to choke on his drink while Yang started laughing at him. (eyyy gay jokes (I'm not homophobic I swear!))
"Nora! Let Blake explain."
"No… it's just that I am a faunus like Jade."
"Really?" Pyrrha asked as she looked at her teammates who nodded in confirmation.
"Then why did you hide from everyone?" It was Ren's turn to question Blake.
"I had my reasons but I hope this doesn't affect us at all."
"It's ok Blake, besides we don't care whether you are faunus or human at all, you are still our friend Blake." Jaune reassures Blake with his team all nodding in agreement. Blake's team can be seen smiling at how it's going. Jade then placed his hand on hers which brought her attention to him.
"See what I told ya? They will accept you no matter who you are. You are their friends." Jade smiled at her.
"Thank you… all of you, for accepting me." Blake faced everyone as her eyes showed relief and joy at the same time as everyone nodded at her.
Teams continued their meal till its time for Professor Port's boring ass class, as you can expect, they didn't learn anything except for that time Jade killed a couple of Ursa captured by Professor Port only with his semblance, by punching a hole into their heads and dodging every attack with ease. After that class, the gang head for Doctor Oobleck's class. Mr Coffee addict, was talking about the history of Menagerie which of course Blake answered with no issue.
It was after Doctor Oobleck's class was lunch which nothing much had happened except if you are Cardin as he was yeeted out the windows for trying to bully Velvet. (again) After that mess was over, it was time for Mrs Goodwitch lesson and things were going to get interesting.
Both Pyrrha and Jade were looking for the chance to duel each other and now, with Goodwitch's blessing, they will now get the chance.
"Can Mr Grayson and Mrs Nikos please come down to the arena?" Mrs Goodwitch called both the Invincible Girl and the Blood Hunter, Jade's nickname he earned due to his unique semblance and being a skilled fighter. Both Pyrrha and Jade got off their seats and headed down towards the arena as cheers can be heard throughout the arena.
"So, Pyrrha, ready to see who's the better fighter?"
"It would be a pleasure to see who will win in this duel of ours."
"Good! Because I'm not going to hold back." Jade smirk as his mask begins to form on his face.
Both fighters entered the arena and faced each other with their weapons ready. The roars of the crowds can be heard as students cheered for who they think are going to win. This also applies to their respective teams of RWBY and JN_R.
"Ohhh! This is so exciting!" Ruby could hardly contain her excitement. But Who can? The best of the best are now challenging each other down in the arena.
"Go Pyrrha! Kick Jady's ass!" Nora Cheered
"Go Jade! Show who's the best team here!"
"Go on Jade, I know you can do it." Blake thought to herself as the contesters awaited for the signal for the fight.
Glynda looked between Jade and Pyrrha and gave a nod.
"Ready? Begin!"
As the words were uttered, both started shooting and dodging each other shots, Jade ran to the side while continuing to send shots to Pyrrha who rolled out of the way and fired another shot which Jade barely missed him in the arm. Jade then charged forward and switching his weapons into sword and send a slash towards Pyrrha who dodges backwards and changed Miló into a spear and took out Akoúo̱ as both clashed, Jade then shoved her back before backflipping and sending his tendrils at Pyrrha who slashed one back and dodged the others. Jade then pulled out Thorn at Pyrrha while she was distracted with the tendrils and pulled the trigger, only for Thorn to Jam. Much to his initial surprise, only to realise Pyrrha jammed his gun, Jade dashed in and clashed against Pyrrha.
As the fighters continued to clash, the hype in the audience kept rising by the second, their cheers can be heard throughout the arena as both fighters traded blows and blocks. Jade sent a blow at Pyrrha only for her to block it with Akoúo̱ and sent a stab with Miló. Jade back dodged Pyrrha's attack only to take a shield to the face. This sent Jade flying back as he recovered on his feet. Jade then dodges bullets sent by Pyrrha and even deflects one back at her which caught her off guard as the bullet hits her straight in the chest. Jade looked up to see his aura level was lower than Pyrrha's. Pyrrha then dashes in close for a stab only for Jade to drop his sword in his right arm, he then trapped Miló in between his armpit and grabbed on to it tightly. Pyrrha struggled to get Miló out of Jade grip only then to send Akoúo̱ to his face. Jade then used his semblance to wrap around Pyrrha's arm which prevented her from sending a shield bash to Jade's face.
Jade then sends a slash at Pyrrha's chest while letting go of his grip of Miló, as the hit connects with Pyrrha's chest, she is sent flying backwards as Jade took the opportunity to fire some shots at her, all of which landed on her. Now that both of their aura levels are very close to the red, it was anyone's game.
One hit, one hit is all it takes for either of them to suffer a defeat and both of them knew it. As the tension only grew stronger, both charged at each other in a last-ditch effort in the fight. Thorn clashing against Miló, dodges and kicks were sent at each other only to be countered until…
BEEEEEEEEP*
The buzzer can be heard as the crowd went dead silent, as both Jade and Pyrrha had both dashed to attack each other and were now at opposite sides of each other. What caught everyone by surprise was that both collapse at the same time.
It was a draw.
The crowd goes absolutely ballistic at the spectacle they had seen. Both the Invincible Girl and the Blood hunter have lost to each other.
"And with that, it ends with a draw." Glynda announced before continuing on.
"Both Mr Grayson and Mrs Nikos had shown their skill in action. There is no doubt that both of you are of equal skill perhaps, should you continue training, you can be better."
Everyone cheered (yes including that asshole Cardin and his team.) for both of their fighters as Jade got up and lent a hand towards Pyrrha who took it.
"Pyrrha Nikos it was an honour to fight against you, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do."
"It's been a long time since I ever had a tie, thank you Jade, I did enjoy our fight. If you wish, we can do it again."
"Oh, sure why not It's nice to fight against someone who knows how to adapt."
Both continued to complement each other as the members of both their teams ran at them.
"Jade!"
"Pyrrha!"
"That was awesome! Both of you were of equal match against each other!" Ruby cheered.
"I never knew you could potentially beat the Invincible Girl." Yang complemented Jade.
"Jade, are you alright?" Blake asked Jade he looked at her and smiled even though he was exhausted from the fight.
"Yea, never felt better. Though a shower would be nice."
"Yea…"
Both Blake and Jade stared into each other's eyes lovingly as they held each other's hands (Them degenerates!) while Yang chuckled at what the love birds were doing again.
Weiss just coughed into her hand which snapped both of them out of their love gaze (yes, I'm calling it that now.) and into their attention.
"As much as I enjoyed that fight, I recommend you go and get a shower first, you need to wash up before we do anything else.
"Fair enough. Just wait for me outside the arena." Jade said to his team as he let go of Blake's hands and made his way to the showers.
Much later...
While his team were walking down the corridor, Jade decided to ask Blake while everyone else was ahead of them.
"Blake." Jade called her.
"Yes Jade?" she answered back
"Well now that we are done with all the lessons for today, I was wondering if we can both go out to Vale for a while, just the two of us."
"Are you asking me on a date?" Blake teasingly asked.
"Yes I am, besides, it would be nice to walk around Vale by ourselves."
"It does sound nice… to go alone without anyone else."
"Then let's head out without their attention." Jade suggested as he pulled her away from the main group.
"Is that really necessary to not inform them on what we are doing?" Blake asked as both of them headed towards the Beacon dockyard.
"I don't believe so; besides I prefer not having them follow us while we are having our date. After all, that sounds exactly what Yang would probably do."
"Fair enough."
Much later at Vale…
Both Blake and Jade are currently in a restaurant waiting for their meals with tea already given to both of them as they talked about how they feel about each other and other stuff couples talk about. (note: I have no idea what couples talk about so I'm making stuff as I go).
"Hey Blake."
"Yes Jade?" Blake responded back as she took a sip of tea.
"Funny how when I was working for your parents back then, your mother said that I would make a good boyfriend for you and that we would be perfect for each other, and here we are now, a couple. Just exactly what your mother had predicted somehow."
"Yea, and do you regret it?"
Jade just chuckled at Blake's question. "Regret loving you? Heck no. I believe we should try our best to live a life without regrets holding us back."
"That… sounds like good advice to take in."
"Hey Blake, this may seem like I'm forcing you but, can you send a letter to your parents?"
"Why Jade? they would never accept me back after I left them to join the White Fang." Blake asked back with sadness and guilt in her eyes.
"Because your parents are still concerned about you. They just wished for you to find a better path. Which you did by becoming a Huntsman. No matter what, they still worry for you no matter what you have done and just wish for you to be safe."
"Jade…" Blake mumbled with tears in her eyes then hugged Jade who returned the favour.
After a while, both of them split up, Blake's eyes were no longer filled with sorrow but with determination before speaking again.
"I will send them once the Vytal Festival is done."
"Or we could visit them. I can imagine your father's face when he finds out that his daughter had a boyfriend." Jade sniggered at the idea of the chieftain of Menagerie having a meltdown that his little kitten had a boyfriend.
Blake also joined in, giggling at the thought as the Waiter arrived with their lunch.
"I'm sorry about the slight delay, but the kitchen is already a mess with the amount of orders we are currently trying to process."
"It's ok, at least you had our food, yes?" Jade waved it off as the waiter placed down their orders.
Blake had Tuna Casserole with mushroom soup, while Jade had salmon stuffed with cream cheese and spinach. Both of them began to eat their food as Jade's ears began to flicker every time he ate his salmon with a blissful face as if it's the best food he ever ate, which Blake found it adorable that the strong and (somewhat) proud boyfriend which she had, would have a cute side to him and enjoyed the pleasures of food.
After they were done with their food, Jade had to ask Blake something that had been bothering him.
"Blake, this is probably a bad time to ask you but, when are you going to stop hiding your traits?" Jade asked with seriousness in his voice.
"What do you mean Jade?"
"As much as I like the bow on you, it feels wrong that you are hiding it. I don't know but I feel that you should no longer hide who you truly are, after all, I got your back, and I have no doubt that the rest of our team and JNPR would support you in your decision. But... I cannot force you if you don't feel comfortable yet, but know that we will be there for you." Jade finished his statement.
"I see… Thank you Jade, but I still don't feel comfortable revealing my ears just yet. But I will take note of that in the future." Blake answered back.
"I see… Very well then Blake, if that's your wish then I will stop pressuring you from now on." Jade conceded to Blake as he nodded.
"So, who's paying?" Blake changed the subject.
"Well… how about I do it for this date? We can take turns paying for it." Jade offered to pay for it and gave a suggestion at the same time.
"That could work." Blake smiled which Jade did in return.
Jade then raised his arm into the air to signal the waiter who then arrived at their table.
"How can I help you?" the waiter asked.
"Ah yes, we are done here and I will be the one who would be paying for it." Jade says to the waiter.
'Ah, I see, please follow me." The waiter nodded as he walked towards the cashier as both Blake and Jade followed him from behind.
After Jade paid for both his and Blake's meals, It was already at night as they continued walking down the streets on their way back to Beacon only to encounter ignorant thugs.
"Hey! Look! It's one of those strays walking in our turfs!" One of the thugs yelled at Jade who glanced at him with annoyance.
"And looks like it got a pretty girl with him. Let's free her from her owner!" Another thug said that caused Jade to growl at them and Blake to narrow her eyes.
"Yea! we can take her for ourselves, after all she can be our 'entertainment' for the night." This caused Blake to gasp at his words before her expression turned to rage. Jade on the other hand was really pissed at what they had said and immediately dashed in and punched the thug who uttered those words in the face, sending him flying back and unconscious.
"DON'T YOU DARE YOU BASTARD!" Jade roared at them with furious rage in his eyes.
"Damn animal!" One of the thugs charged at Jade with his knife in his hand and slashing it down on Jade.
Jade grabbed him by the arm and with his other arm, Jade disarmed the thug followed by kneeing him in the belly and dropping him aside. Two thugs then tried to attack Jade at the same time only for Blake to join in and send a kick into one of the attackers while Jade dealt with the other thug with no issue. (do you really think they stand a chance against them?)
"Tch, waste of resources, Blake, let's get out of here." Jade looked at Blake as she nodded at him.
"Right."
Both faunus walked away from the groaning mess of filth as they continued their way back to the airfields back to Beacon.
"Blake, I'm sorry I lost control of myself, I couldn't handle the fact that they tried to take you away from me and plan to do horrible things to you. I should have just walked away with you and not escalated the issue." Jade had a look of regret and his cat ears were flattened in his head as both of them stopped a wide distance away from the gang of thugs that were defeated easily.
Blake just pulled him into a hug and both of them shared a moment before she spoke. "It's ok Jade, after all, you were just protecting me like you said yourself. And besides, it's justifiable after what they had planned to do."
"I suppose so… Let's just get back to our dorm, I believe that we have enough action in our date."
Blake just nodded as both of them made their way back to Beacon with no issue, understandably when they got back from their date, Weiss was more or less displeased that they just left without informing them. (Both of them also turn off their scrolls unless they need it.) Ruby is only glad that both of them came back unharmed from their date, though she was annoyed that they could have informed her and she would have allowed it anyways. Yang one other hand had a grin on her face which both couples noticed.
"So, how's your date?" Yang asked.
"What's the matter Yang? Wished that I went on a date with you instead of Blake?" Jade snarked as Yang flinched at Jade's comment who then chuckled.
"Well, I dunno about you but I feel that we should do it again tomorrow, or do you have something in mind?" Jade turned his attention back on Blake.
'I think we should spend some time in Beacon after what happened today."
"Did something happen?" Ruby curiously asked.
As all their team's eyes were on them, the couple looked and nodded at each other before Jade spoke first.
"We uh, met some unpleasant people in the streets."
"Just unpleasant people?" Weiss." seemed suspicious at what she heard.
"It's… just some thugs that bothered us." Blake added in.
"Yea, that." Jade supported thought nervousness can be heard in the couple's voices which all of them noticed.
"I don't know what happened to both of you but we can all tell that whatever it is, it is bothering both of you. So please tell us and let us help you." Ruby begged.
Jade sighed before glancing at Blake who spoke first.
"We encountered some racist that threw insults at Jade all because he is a faunus. But then they planned to take me and Jade away from each other."
"That sounds horrible but that can't be it." Ruby commented.
"Yea… Yang covers Ruby's ears, she's too young to hear this." Jade spoke to Yang.
"Why?" She asked back.
"Just do it Yang." Jade snapped at Yang which caught everyone by surprise.
"Well ok then, sorry sis."
"It's ok Yang." Ruby mumbled as Yang put her hands over her sister's ears.
"So what happened?" Weiss asked.
"They planned… to rape Blake after beating me." Jade gritted his teeth as he spit it out.
"They plan to do what!" both Yang and Weiss yelled while Ruby looked dumbfounded at their reactions.
"But they didn't do it. I… no we stopped them from trying it in the first place." Jade states while Blake just nods but her face still demonstrates discomfort at what he said to her.
Yang's hair flared up as her eyes turned red. "Where those bastards at! I'm going to punch them so hard that they would end up in the hospital after I'm done with them." Yang Yelled as she let go of Ruby.
Jade just chuckled evilly as he spoke. "Eh, don't worry about them, they got their butts handed to them by both of us yea Blake?"
"Yes though I only took out one guy while you went for the other three."
"Yep… I'm tired after what happened today are you Blake?" He asked his girlfriend.
"I suppose some rest would be nice." Blake agreed to rest for the rest of the day.
Jade covered his mouth as he yawned before speaking "Good… so bed cuddles?"
"We are still here you know." Weiss states.
"We know." Jade says back.
"Well… since both Blake and Jade are tired from their lovey dovey stuff… How about we go do something while they sleep?" Ruby offers a nice suggestion.
"And what? Leave them alone to do something frisky without me?" Yang continued with her teasing as both feline couples blushed furiously about the idea of doing the thing.
"Yang! Leave them alone, they had a long day." Ruby yelled at her sister.
"No Yang, get a boyfriend. Then you can do it to him." Jade said with a deadpan expression while his face was still blushing red and his ears twitched as he walked towards the bed and lay in it.
"Well I suppose we could do something while you guys rest. Come one guys, let's go Guys." Ruby got off her chair and (somehow) dragged both Weiss and Yang out the door while both of them protested against it leaving both feline faunus alone in the dorm.
"Well I suppose this would be a nice way to end the day huh?"
"I suppose so."
"You go ahead and use the bathroom first, I can wait."
"Are you sure you don't want to join me?" Blake asked teasingly.
"Oh dear, you have been staying too close to Yang huh? Adopting her ways are you?" Jade jokingly replied back.
"What's the matter? Jealous that she would take me away from you?" Blake continues to play with Jade.
Jade just chuckles before commenting. "I would if she really took you away from me."
Both started laughing for a while till they calmed down and Blake entered the bathroom. Jade just laid on Blake's bed and switched to his sleep wear as he waited but he fell asleep on her bed.
Once Blake exited the bathroom, all she saw was Jade resting on her bed. Blake then walked toward Jade and laid next to him as she pets him. Jade unconsciously snuggles against Blake as he starts to purr. Blake just smiles as she hugged Jade and fell asleep after a long day today.
Authors Notes
Ok, some stuff had happened in this chapter, first of all, we saw how team RW_Y reacted to Blake and Jade snuggling against each other, Yang still getting blackmail material seems so Yang to do, so I just left it off from yesterday.
Next one his Jade's spar/fight/duel against Pyrrha, I always wanted to write it but I kept getting distracted with the story and fluff, so to get it out of the way, I added it to fluff. (Mr big brain over here.) So yea, I was originally planning for Jade to beat Pyrrha, but a tie would make so much sense to me, if you disagree with me about it, leave a comment.
Next is Blake and Jade having a dinner date and the thing with the thugs. I wanted to try to show the struggles that Faunus would have to deal with but I might had gone overboard with the thugs planning to rape Blake, but it now does show Jade's potentially over protective nature that he had adopted. I dunno, you guys tell me if I should have kept that scene out of this chapter until much later when the series gets even more darker.
Lastly, the couple's scene with their teammates when both of them snuck away from them without informing them at all. I wanted to add this because I thought it would be funny. That's all. I'm making fluff as I go ok?
