Here's chapter 108, everyone.

"And you say his animal form is that of a bear as well? Okay, well that's still going to be difficult, but we can at least try, but I warn you now, I have no intentions of staying here for that long. If we can't find him-." Before Winter could finish, Olivia cut in.

"I know… I already thanked you for at least trying. For now, may I rest?" After hearing the possibility of leaving Mistral without knowing if her husband was even alive, Olivia wasn't in a good talking mood at that point.

Winter wasn't about to argue, since she got all the information she needed from Olivia, though with her orders and the fact that the other soldiers, and the pilot knew of Olivia, she couldn't let her go.

"For now, she isn't a danger."

While she did say that to herself, Winter was still one to follow orders, so she walked out after nodding to Olivia and closed the door behind her, as the Hidden woman sighed to herself and laid on the bed, thinking of her husband.

After she walked out, Winter thought of the places she could search for Olivia's husband, and with how he would stay in bear form. She looked outside and bit her lip, hating that it was still late, since her sister was more than likely sleeping, but Winter's worries caught up and she chose that getting chewed out for waking her up was worth it, if it meant making sure her little sister was safe.

Her scroll was out in an instant, and Winter left the airship to speak alone, away from the team after she informed them she'd scout a bit alone, while also ordering a group to scout in a different direction for sighting Olivia's husband.

None of them questioned her and split off, some going to search for Olivia's husband, while the others stayed behind to guard the airship.

Winter swiped her scroll until she got to her sister's name in the contact list, and as she pressed the screen, she took a breath, choosing to keep it as a purely voice call. "Please answer…"

After a few moments, the Atlas Specialist was greeted by the somber tone of her sister. "Winter… W-Winter, I… I didn't think you'd call this late."

From the way Weiss sounded, Winter grew more concerned. "Weiss? What's wrong?" When she asked, she could also hear Klein in the background, telling her it was best to sit and rest, and it surprised Winter. "Is that Klein?"

"W-Winter, what do you know about when Mother brought me home… When she brought me after taking me in from my birth Mother?" Weiss asked, as her voice still sounded somber.

The questioned caught her off guard, and after a few moments of thinking how to answer that, the Atlas Specialist spoke. "I was confused, back then, since Mother never looked pregnant, but from how we Schnees have distinct features, I just thought, maybe she was pregnant the whole time and just didn't show it somehow… I was a fool to think so, and I wish I would've known the truth earlier, but why-."

"I'm not… I'm not who I thought I was, Winter." Weiss' words had struck hard.

Winter tensed up, since the way she said that was concerning. "What is going on? Weiss, put Klein on right now." She demanded to know what could make her sister talk like that.

Weiss couldn't muster the strength to say any more, so she handed her scroll to Klein. "Miss Winter… Now is not the best time for your sister to speak."

Klein bit his lip when he thought about how hurt Weiss looked when she entered the airship.

Twenty Minutes Earlier.

"Snowflake? What's wrong?" Klein asked as he got up from the pilot seat after seeing only Weiss walking in, looking outright depressed, so he embraced her in a hug in hopes of helping her feel better.

Weiss sniffled and tensed up when she heard his voice, since she was afraid to ask him if he truly knew. "K-Klein… I met people down there, and I can't ignore this… Did you," She took a breath. "Did you know that I wasn't born as a human?"

Klein's eyes were as wide as ever, and his heart began to race, thinking about the day when he drove Willow back to the manor after she took Weiss in. "W-What are you-."

"I know the truth now, and I need to know, did you know too? Did Mother tell you, or did she keep it from you like she did me…" Weiss asked, while a few tears began to fall, since the way he reacted was close enough to the answer she feared.

He couldn't keep a lie like that going, not when Weiss herself knew, and not while she sounded the way she did. "Snowflake… Yes, I don't know how you found out, but yes… I've known since the day you were born."

Weiss bit her lip, and she almost fell to her knees, but she kept herself standing. "Why? Why would you and Mother keep this from me?" She promised herself she wouldn't yell or cry, as she stood there, listening.

"How much do you know, and how did you find out, Snow… Weiss?" Klein couldn't use the nickname he gave her, as he felt that he betrayed her trust.

"People, people down there in that town could do everything I do. Become an animal, and… I thought it was a semblance, but then they showed me that the semblance I really have, are the glyphs I make." Weiss thought back to when she first used her glyphs and silently chuckled a little. "It… Makes sense now I guess."

Klein hugged her a little tighter. "Your Mother wanted you to live a happier life than the one you'd have if you knew. Please, don't fault her for that."

"Mother has kept a lot from me, and… I want to be mad, to yell, to cry, to not speak to her, but I can't. She was always there, and even with this, I… I don't want my life to change, but I just needed to know if you knew as well." Weiss had her arms down, since she couldn't muster the strength to hug back.

"You have every right to be angry… I can't apologize. Your forgiveness is not something I can have." Klein felt terrible, and Weiss finally hugged him back.

"How can you say that?" Weiss buried her face into Klein's shoulder. "You've been the Father I never had… Not my birth Father, or… Jacques. Neither were there for me, but you always were." Weiss fought back her tears. "Of course I'd always forgive you… I love you, dad..."

Klein's heart broke when he heard that, since the long lie he had to keep was finally catching up and hurting his Snowflake, so he cried for her and hugged her as tight as he could. "I love you too, Snowflake."

Present Time.

"Then explain why she's on the verge of crying. I want answers right now, Klein, and why are you there at Beacon? It's-." Before Winter could say more, Klein spoke.

"I'm not at Beacon, Miss Winter. We are near a town call Kuroyuri, and I chose to help bring your sister and her friends here." Klein began to explain, and Weiss knew Winter would be a little upset with her.

"What?! Why would you bring her there?! I know of the reports, Klein. That town was overrun and… Ugh! Don't you dare leave that place, I'm taking my airship there right this instant." Winter said in an angered tone.

Weiss only heard when Winter yelled, so she got up and gently took the scroll from Klein. "Winter, please don't be angry with Klein. I asked him to take us here."

Winter didn't think her sister would speak again, so she sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I don't know why you'd ever think going to a town that was destroyed by Grimm would be a smart idea, Weiss. I'm going over there, since I'm not even that far to begin with."

Since she didn't hear that when Winter was talking with Klein, Weiss' body tensed up. "W-What? Winter, no, I can't stay here any longer…"

"You don't think I know the dangers… I'm… I'm just not happy that you chose to go there, and… I want to speak with you in person." Winter secretly wanted to talk to Weiss in person, but since she was on a mission, going to Beacon would not be an option.

Weiss looked outside one of the windows of the airship, and she took a breath, feeling that her sister would keep her safe even more so, but she needed to get there soon. "Please hurry…"

"I will." Winter ended the call and sent a message to her soldiers to meet back up in the airship, even the scouts.

"I'm sorry, Olivia, but my sister is my top priority."

The world around Blake froze, not even the wind was something she could hear, as she felt Yang's lips on her, as her cat ears shot up under her bow, and her heart was racing. After a few seconds of holding the kiss, she pulled back and gasped. "Y-Yang?"

Yang realized what she had done, as her face was red and she turned away, not wanting to look her partner in the eyes. "Crap… Crap, crap, crap, I didn't… UGH! Just go away…"

Blake blushed as she lifted two fingers up and placed them on her lips, feeling no anger with what Yang did, so she lowered her hand and took a step forward. "Hey, you can't just turn away from me when you do that… You'd say the same to me…"

The blonde brawler knew she was right, but that still didn't make her turn around. "Look, it was on impulse okay."

"Fine, you can say what it was, but that still doesn't mean you can't look at me." Blake was started to sound hurt by how Yang was acting.

"W-What, I…" Yang slowly turned around, still blushing heavily as she saw the hurt expression on her partner's face. "Blake…"

"You kissed me. And then you say it's on impulse… Was it real? Did you even want to?" Blake needed to know, since things were happening so much faster than she expected, ever since she admitted to Ruby that she likes Yang.

Yang kicked the dirt under her and looked down at her feet. "Of course I wanted to," She grumbled the next part. "I wouldn't have done it if I didn't."

Blake sighed, choosing to kneel down as she grabbed Yang's arm, bringing her slowly down with her. "Stop looking away from me."

"H-How do you expect me to look at you after making an idiot of myself?" Yang asked, wishing she had just waited after all.

"You didn't make an idiot out of yourself." Blake stated, and she decided to ask something that she had suspicions on. "Weiss. Do you like her?"

Yang chuckled a little. "You're a good detective… But, well, I mean I really did. I liked her for a few years, but you know what happened. She's with Ruby now, and… I realized that I regretted not telling her how I felt."

Blake's ears drooped. "Am I-."

"Don't you dare say you're a rebound." Yang angrily demanded, but she wasn't mad at Blake. She was mad at herself for making Blake even have that as a thought. "You didn't let me finish." Blake stayed quiet. "A few years ago I realized I liked Weiss a lot, but I knew how much Ruby loved her, so I backed off."

Hearing Yang talk like that reminded Blake of how the blonde admitted feeling like the odd one out in her family, so she took Yang's hand and continued letting her speak.

Yang let out a small smile from feeling Blake do that. "I watched them talk a lot, and… Grow so much closer than she and I could, so I slowly realized that my feelings had to go away, but they didn't. At least… They didn't till I met you."

Blake's cat ears twitched at that, and her blush reddened.

"Heh, I didn't think I could make you blush this much, Shadowcat." Yang's smile grew, and Blake loved seeing that smile.

It was one that made her feel just as happy as Yang did, and it was one that she always wanted to see. Just as Yang wanted Weiss to smile, Blake wanted Yang to always smile, so before she knew it, Blake leaned in and kissed Yang in return, and the blonde was taken aback, but after spilling her feelings out like that, she couldn't just ignore the kiss, so she closed her eyes and held the back of Blake's head as the two kissed.

"Blake…

"Yang…"

So the end part here was a little throwback to the chapter where Ruby and Weiss kissed. Wondering if anyone had actually caught that, and with this, you can see Yang does have feelings for Blake, and it's not just a rebound.

To JJ- Glad you liked the idea I had for Yang here, as it does add more to her character, and how selfless she is, but to answer your question, well, she does in fact care about her partner as much as she did Weiss. She does still hold feelings for Weiss, but in time she's come to accept that Ruby and Weiss do love each other, and she's not the kind of person to get in the way of that.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 108. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 109.
