Blake POV

I couldn't come up with any idea how to ask this from Weiss. There is just no way at all she would say yes if I would walk up to her and ask if I can beat that guy up. What am I thinking? I don't like lying to her but I can't back down from this or I never hear the end of it.

Now she was organizing the table and was preparing for the next lesson that I don't even know what it is. My mind is occupied with ideas as to how to get out of the house without making her mad. I feel like that's not an option.

I walked close to the table, fidgeting with my hands as she looked up to hear what I had to say. Actually, I don't have anything to say because I'm freaking out. Getting through Weiss is way harder than beating that asshole. I can already see the questioning face she is showing me.

"What is it, Blake? You didn't do your english homework…?" It's true that I didn't do that because I totally forgot it, but other than that, I have more important things to say now. I just don't know how to phrase it so she wouldn't be pissed.

"Uhm… about my… reward…" I feel like a six year old who wants candy just because she behaved or got a five for a test. That's so stupid. Why am I so lame?

"Oh yeah… Now that you mention it, you did great in the previous lesson so what would you like?" Asking her out on a date would be much more delightful than asking her to ignore the fact that I'm going to beat up someone. Of course she won't know about that.

"Can I go out… alone after school… for this once?" I have my doubts but this might work. But I'm sure she will ask for more details. Why would I want to go out? Oh God… I just remembered about that freaking party. Now she will think I want to go there. "And I—"

"I won't let you go to that party." She cut me off with the exact thought I was thinking about.

"I was about to—"

"I'm not going to, unless your parents decide otherwise." She cut me off again and it is starting to annoy me.

"Weiss, can I finish?" I put my hand out with an eyebrow raise, like I want money from her. That actually came out wrong, considering that she is rich. I seriously don't care about that.

"Yes." She pushed the word out, already knowing that I want to convince her about this, but that's not what I want to say.

"I'm not going to that party. I just want to go out… for no reason…" I said that last part quietly but that just closed the door forever, blocking my way to go out. She looked at me deadpanned.

"Even you have to admit that this is the poorest attempt at an excuse." I groaned.

"This is so awkward…" I will do anything to persuade Weiss to let me out.

"What is?"

"I just…" I got into the role of being awkward. I hope my performance will be authentic. "...there is a… cat…" Weiss was already raising one of her eyebrows. "...she always comes out at around six… I actually visited her in secret… But I didn't want to lie about it anymore. I want to bring her food." I know this is horrible but my mind is just empty. Weiss needed a minute to gather her words to reply to this.

"That is adorable." She said, pulling me close to hug me, almost choking me. "Helping out a cat you have so much in common with. You are so noble, Blake." I feel like she is making fun of me. But if this works then I'm totally fine with it.

"Haahahaha… yeah." I laughed and said awkwardly. Actually becoming red as my eyes wandered to Weiss' breasts that were reachable from this distance. I smacked my head mentally to snap out of this. She pushed me back, holding my shoulders and squeezing me so I looked like a child who couldn't stand still. I showed her my dumb face.

"But I'm coming with you. And I'm not happy that you did this without telling me." In any other time, I would be flying from happiness if Weiss offers to come with me somewhere but that's definitely not this time.

"Uhh… sure." I didn't have anything else to come up with but agreeing to this was a message for me to start digging up my grave. I already know that Weiss will be furious when she finds out there is no cat at all other than me. Wait, did I just say that I'm a cat? I hate when people do that. That's a sign I'm really going crazy.

"Then it's a deal. At least you won't lay around in the house. A bit of fresh air is always nice." At this point, even if I said anything she wouldn't listen. I'm really not looking forward to this night.

—

And here we are. I'm standing in front of the main door, fully ready to go out alone… but unfortunately, I'm not alone. And Weiss is preparing horribly slow for some reason.

"Blake! What would you like to bring her? Would you like cat food or ham…?" She was shouting from the kitchen, listing up various foods to bring to an imaginary cat. Seriously, I felt like she is a mom, packing up things for her kid who is going out for a few days. Weiss being my mom is just a dreadful image to confront. Let's just forget it.

Never in my life would I have thought that I would be thinking how to ditch Weiss. I don't need her here now and it sounds rude even in my head. Maybe I should just rush out of the house while she is occupied with food for that cat that doesn't exist.

"Ham is good! Can you come already?!" I shouted back. For fucks sake. My annoyance is showing.

She finally appeared with a full pack of ham in hand. Even if there were a cat, we wouldn't need that much. And I don't even know why Weiss thinks that this is true. Knowing me, why the fuck would I want to visit a random cat? I'm not ten. This whole story I came up with just shouts lying in max volume.

We finally got moving and we were walking in the park that wasn't far from the house.

"I lied." I admitted out of nowhere which caught her attention.

"Pardon?" I snatched the ham out of her hand and opened it, and started eating it.

"There is a cat who needs help, though. Eh?" I called myself a cat again… Nevermind I will scold myself for this later. I only received a cold stare from her that pierced my side down. I actually felt my steps becoming harder to take.

"Are you joking?" She stopped walking and I turned around slowly to look at her. I did this while extremely taking my time, afraid of Weiss' expression.

"Uhh… it was just a lie so you would come out with me…" I told her the truth. Which wasn't, so I double lied. I'm actually getting lost counting how many times I have deceived her. I feel horrible messing with her.

"I can't believe you…" She said, pinching her forehead. This night would actually turn out beautiful at the end if I wouldn't have something to deal with.

"But now that we are out here, may I invite you for a coffee?" I said like a gentleman. It was just a facade to ditch her. This sounded really painful in my head. I was thinking so hard about not going to beat that guy up. I can spend that time with Weiss doing something that I have never done. Not even alone, but with her… it's just a dream that comes true. But my dignity has other ideas.

She sighed. "If we are already out… Okay." She accepted, not so sure in her words.

I led her to a nice café and there weren't many people there. The place was just the right size. Not huge but not small either. It didn't look fancy to the level that I feel out of place. I don't think Weiss has to worry about that. Well, she dressed like a normal woman now so no one would think she has a bit of cash in the bank. I'm still a bit shocked about this but I will get through it. I would love to meet with her father just to see what a douchebag he is from up close.

We sat down at a table that was situated next to the window so we could get a view of the lightened street as some people were walking. Some friends, some elderly couples. Some children were running around in the park and it was pretty lively. I feel like I'm on a date with Weiss. But that is ruined quickly by the realization that I have to beat someone up.

The waitress walked up to us, asking what we would like to order. Luckily this wasn't those maid cafes or dress-up ones where they were in flashy clothes I would only imagine on Weiss. Not like I ever did that…

Weiss asked for a Cappuccino and I asked for the same because I have no intention of drinking a coffee here. At least she can drink two and I will pay for it anyway when I come back from my business. I need to be quick and have to come out of it unscathed.

We were silent while we waited for our orders. Weiss was still reading the menu of the drinks, probably not intending to talk to me. She must be angry at me for dragging her out with a lie. My mind was occupied with the upcoming match I have to win. I hope that guy won't decide to play tricks on me. I'll show him what I'm capable of and after that I'm definitely going to avoid his little gang, that's for sure. Anyone who decides to join that crap is insane.

The waitress came back with our drinks and both of us thanked her for her service. She bowed and walked back to the counter. Weiss tasted it immediately, not even wasting a minute. I didn't do the same as I was tapping the glass, watching her expression of delight. I could see she was enjoying every drop of that coffee. As she ate down the foam with her spoon it almost felt tempting for me even though she just ate it normally. Then our eyes met and I was blushing that she caught me staring.

"What are you waiting for, Blake?" She asked softly, which didn't help my redness to go away.

"Uh-uhhh… I-I forgot my wallet at home. I'll go and get it, you stay here!" I said, already walking out of the place.

"Blake, I—"

"I'll be back quickly! Don't go anywhere!"

"—have mine… I could have paid…"

I was rushing to the meeting place, not even hearing what Weiss said. I felt a bit of regret but I was focusing on the fight now that I managed to escape her. It was the other way around but I had to take a little detour so Weiss wouldn't question where I'm running to while she still followed me with her eyes.

The arranged place was at the side of an abandoned building. To avoid any unwanted eyes. Although, when I arrived I heard music and saw lights. When I walked in the direction of that music, that was basically just a beat that didn't have the slightest musical feeling. So basically a shitty one that only jack asses would listen to. It bursted out my ears, especially when I got even closer.

The lights I saw from afar were fire and there were cars parking everywhere and it felt like a party taken outside. What the hell? I thought our showdown won't be at the party he mentioned. I'm totally fucked up but I can't back down now.

I made my hair into a bun and pulled my hood up to cover my face. I feel like this is a waste of effort as it will be revealed soon anyway. There is no way he won't pull my hood off. But I don't need his pity and the least I want is him to not take it seriously because I'm a girl.

There was a bit of a crowd here. More people than I expected. I actually felt thrilled inside, seeing this many people. There were girls dancing close to guys or close to their own gender. It looked intimate and I couldn't keep my eyes away from them. And the guys looked buff. They looked muscular but I doubt they are agile with this much burden of a muscle.

But what some of the cars looked like… I found them more interesting than any of these people. They were so shiny and the models were just out of place. I couldn't even dream about them, they are so expensive. Well, I'm sure Weiss could afford all of them, combined… Okay, I seriously need to stop bringing Weiss into the picture every time something connects to wealthyness.

But the way the people here can afford these must be illegal. I don't even want to get into their deals…

I had no idea where to start looking for that asshole so I just kept walking with amazement in my eyes every time I looked around. Once a car catched my eyes as it was a black matt lamborghini jeep with some red design on the side and it looked incredibly eye-catching. Even to the point that I twisted my neck to look at it when I already passed it.

But then two girls started clinging on me, which I didn't enjoy at all. I somehow managed to get out of their grips as they moved on to their next target. These sluts are the least I want after what happened. I wouldn't even like them anyway.

Then I finally could catch a glimpse of that red spiky hair and those black horns. I hate that he is a faunus. I have to beat the crap out of one of my kind. Even if that's the case I will enjoy every part of it.

I walked there with my hands in my pocket. Of course there was a brunette girl sitting in his lap as he was talking to one of his buddies. He was sitting in a throne looking chair like a king and it pissed me off. Without a care, I walked in front of him as he sent that guy away at that exact moment. Of course there were some other dudes sitting there with stretched out legs and with girls in their laps like the world is theirs. I would like to punch every one of them as my hatred started to escape my body.

"Ohh… Look who decided to show up." He said smugly, gripping that girl's breast as she moaned not so quietly. I want to burn this place down. Who calls this a party? I didn't imagine parties like this. I wouldn't enjoy this a bit.

"Can we get to the part where I beat your ass?" I wasn't scared of the big guys and the least I'm scared of is this jerk in front of me.

"Hmm… For being so confident I'll reward you with some fun. We need guys like you." That smirk on his face is something I want to break into pieces. Along with that reward of his.

"I don't need your fuc—" I couldn't finish as that earlier big guy shoved me into a chair and threw a girl on me, who actually looked stronger than any of them. Judging by her face she didn't enjoy this at all. She wasn't looking at me and luckily she didn't try to seduce me.

She looked young, maybe a bit older than me. But her expression told me that she doesn't want to be here. I take one part of what I said back. This 'reward', which is a sin calling her that, doesn't deserve to be torn apart.

But I just noticed her dazzling blonde hair. Out of these girls, she was the most beautiful, even if I only got to see the side of her face. I have no idea why she is here against her own will, but I felt the urge to help her. Starting with my plan of burning this place down. Maybe if I beat this guy to a pulp everyone will be scared of me and I will call the police on them. I will escape with this girl and I hope she will have a better life after this. Then I will return to Weiss like I really just went for my wallet and act like nothing happened.

I knew this great plan won't happen and it already was ruined when I ran away from Weiss. Maybe I really should have just stayed on my ass.

But then I snapped out of my thoughts when that bulk guy turned the girl's head towards me with brute force. I could hear her hiss as she was forced to look at me. Well, she couldn't really see my face because of my hood hiding it.

Out of instinct I grabbed the guy's wrist. It was so wide, my little hand was barely visible. I tightened my grip and I could feel that little pain that he showed on his face even though he looked down at me like I was a bug meant to be squashed.

"Let. Her. Fucking. Go." I worded, pushing every one of them but his answer was something that I couldn't react to in time.

He moved his arm so fast that my eyes could only follow it but my body couldn't react in time as I felt his fist in my face and could hear the gasp of the girl sitting in my lap. My head bounced back, earning my hood to fall off of my head. My face was exposed as my head fell forward. I shook my head to compose myself. Blood started flowing out of my nose as it left some on the guy's knuckle. He officially became a victim on my list.

Everyone was looking at me with expressions I expected when they realized I'm a girl. I could feel the fire in my eyes as I put the girl down gently and I stood up to walk close to that big fucking idiot. On the way I grabbed a metal stick that was lying on the ground. He still looked shocked after finding out I'm a girl so it wasn't hard to send a huge blow with that weapon aimed at his head. He fell down on his knees and I targeted his head again with a brutal kick which I only aimed at bean bags up at this point.

The blow made him fall to the ground completely and he stayed there as he had already fainted. I was fuming with anger at this point as I threw the weapon to the ground and looked up at Adam, who still had that devil smile on his face. I wiped the blood from my nose, at least to stop it from dripping to the ground. I made my most fierceful grimace while keeping my eyes on his.

"Interesting turn of events." He then waved for the girl behind me. "Yang, darling. Come here. That guy— or girl or whatever he or she is doesn't appreciate your beauty." Yang, as it seems this is her name, walked to him but my focus was staying on my prey, imagining every painful scenario for him when I finished him off. I could feel her staring at me as she passed me but I didn't even glance at her.

"The way you appreciate anyone's beauty is a shame to witness. None of you deserve to touch her, not even speaking her name." I said it strongly and determined and I looked at her for a little and I could feel the hope inside her eyes. I will help her to get away from this place, even if I suffer from it.

"I don't think you will decide that." Adam said as he brushed his hand close to the blonde girl's inner thigh, making her shut her eyes closed. What the fuck is this place? I snapped my eyes wide and he noticed that. He tossed Yang to me like she was a plastic doll that doesn't have feelings. "You can have her, you freak." He spat out the nickname at me as I held Yang so she wouldn't fall to her knees.

"You okay?" I whispered to make sure she was fine. She looked at me and nodded. The state she was in must have blocked the words to escape her throat and I can't blame her. I let her go as she stood next to me.

"Leave this fucking place. I don't need freaks on my ground. If I knew you were a girl with a dick I would have never contacted you. You can take that bitch, she is good for nothing anyway." Every word he spits out is making me angrier. All I want to do is to punch his face in.

"Let's finish what we started." The feeling of anger clouded my mind as I started walking his way while cracking my fingers to prepare it for the feeling of his ugly face. I was only focusing on the image of his blooded face so I couldn't register the two guards standing in front of me. One of them punched me in the face and then the other pushed me back by the shoulders as I fell on my butt in front of the girl. I could feel that punch and knew it would leave a mark.

"Hey, let's just leave. He has even more people and you can't beat them all. Leave this place while we can." The girl said, crouching down next to me, holding my shoulders. I looked up at her and I saw scarness in her eyes, making it shade it's original bright color. At least I can save her if I stop now. I know that even if I call the police that won't end this gang. They will move to another place but if this jerk will ever contact me again, I will come more prepared. To be honest, I didn't expect this to turn out like this. He totally went against his words but I don't give a fuck about him anymore. And the other girls… they seem like they enjoy this so fuck them too. At least I managed to change one's life for the better. That's more than enough for me.

So I did as she said as I stood up and held her arm, leading her out of this place. All the people and the cars… Didn't care about them anymore. All I could see was the path that leads out of here.

I quickly walked out from there, pulling the girl with me. When we were far away so I couldn't hear that blasting music anymore I turned around and let her go.

"I'm sorry you had to go through this. I would love to punch his fucking smirk from his face." I clenched my teeth and fisted my hands, looking at the ground, seeing red. I could feel a touch on my chin as the girl pushed my face up so I would look at her. Her face looked so different. Her eyes were the ones which went through the biggest change. It became a bright lilac which drew me closer.

"Thank you so much!" She said and she pulled me into a tight hug. I needed a minute to process what happened when I hugged her back.

"It's okay. You don't need to worry about those jerks anymore." I accidently touched her blonde hair as it got in the way because it was so mellow. I freaked out a bit as based on her hair it looks like she treasures it so much. I pulled away from the hug as it started to feel awkward for me. For her, I don't think so.

And that's when it clicked me. WEISS! I totally forgot about her in the heat of the moment. Fuck! I need to hurry back. She didn't call me yet, though. Maybe she is still waiting for me patiently. My house is not that far from that area but it's not close either. Maybe she still doesn't think that it's fishy. I have no idea how much time I spent there as time stopped for me in that place.

"I really need to go. Do you have a place to stay?" I said hurriedly, already bouncing to start running like crazy. Wait, I really don't have my wallet, and just noticed that my phone either. Oh, I'm in so much trouble. I feel like it doesn't even matter if I hurry or not.

"Yeah. Thank you for helping me again." She said and we waved goodbyes. I was already about to speed out of here when I heard her calling for me.

"Wait! What's your name!?" She shouted as we were already further away from each other.

"Blake! Good luck, Yang!" I felt like mentioning her name so it would warm her heart. People feel better if they hear their names from others when someone wishes them luck.

"Thank you, Blake! Goodbye, Blake!" Okay, maybe not this much. She shouted back and I saw her walk away.

In that exact same moment, I started rushing back to Weiss, praying that she would spare my life.
