Protection Detail Katastrophe

Part 02 – Protect and Serve

Ruby typed away, bored out of her mind. The assignment with the local police at downtown Vale had been relatively simple (round up some bratty drug-dealers) but it had ended as soon as it had started. There had been a case of Faunus-related domestic violence as well, but that too had swiftly dealt with. The short trip to the Vale-Vacuo border had been a bit more interesting since it involved a secret hideout for weapon smuggling, but in the end it was not worth writing home about. A report was needed anyway and the sniper typed with tired eyes and an even more tired mind.

As she typed in the last of her report a small soda can was put down on the table. "Good work today, Scatter."

"Aw, thanks Chrono!" Ruby gladly took it and smiled at her co-worker. "Strawberry! My favourite!"

"I know. I figured such a reward was suitable for finishing the report with precisely two minutes and thirty-two seconds to spare as of now. I do hope you enjoy it."

"Oh I will!" Ruby exclaimed and merrily popped it open. As she swigged the drink and enjoyed the fizziness, her gaze drifted back to Ciel, who kept watching her as stoically as always, but something was different. "Huh. New outfit, Chrono?"

From the looks of it, she still had her beret and plain grey-white button-down shirt and black elbow-length, fingerless gloves. Her combat-skirt and white leggings however had been replaced with blue, tight shorts and white-grey tights, and the shoes were now black steel-toed boots, tall and laced. Over her shirt she wore a heavy jacket with small yellow-gold studs down the elbow-long sleeves, the same shade of blue as her beret.

The meticulous agent straightened and nodded. "I am."

Ruby giggled. "Well, the glow-up looks good on you!"

Especially the tights and shorts combination; quite form-fitting, always a plus in Ruby's books.

For a brief moment – short and fleeting to the point that the sniper was convinced she was mistaken – the mocha-skinned officer cracked the tiniest of lopsided smiles, but it could've easily just been the angle making it look like she did.

"Thank you, Scatter."

"The tights are a nice touch, too. I've always liked stockings and the like," she said without thinking.

Ciel didn't respond to that statement as she loudly cleared her throat.

"When you're done, please deliver the report to Sergeant Lion; you're summoned for a new assignment."

"The Sergeant is calling me?" Ruby asked. While it wasn't uncommon for the sergeants' duty, it was usually the Deputy Chief (or in this branch's case, the Lieutenant) who handled new mission-assignments.

Not that she minded; any chance to talk to Sergeant Lion – real name: Arslan Altan, the Golden Lion, the Ironfist – whose mocha-skinned beauty, much like with Ciel was acutely attractive, was a welcomed one.

"Yes," Ciel rigidly replied. "I believe your name specifically was brought up for this protection detail."

She shot her fellow agent a puzzled look. "`Protection detail´? That's not even— I mean, I'm the Chief Detective Commissar, escort is more Yang's forte."

"Be that as it may, you are to meet with the Sergeant as soon as possible. She stressed that it was `highly urgent,´ so it'd be unwise to keep her waiting. Every second counts."

Ruby nodded and downed the rest of her drink. Best to not dawdle.

They left the room, but not before Ruby took a long look at the Deputy-Chief Commissar's now visible rear, hugged by tight shorts; having always hidden it underneath a combat-skirt for so long, it shocked the sniper just how firm and round it looked. And the way the tight shorts creased and stretched with each step; it should be a crime to hide something as good as that, even if Emerald's was slightly better. Somewhat. And those tights…

Unf.

There was a renewed fondness for her fellow detective, that much was certain, as Ruby burned the image of that ass, Ciel bent over, and herself behind the agent in a wild copulation while the dark beauty urging her to cum at a certain time into her mental spank-bank.

x.x.x.x

Arslan's office always intrigued Ruby whenever she had a chance to visit it. Its Mistral décor reflected the kingdom's appreciation for the arts with a personal touch of the sergeant's background and way of life; spirituality, strength, and focus. Her emblem of the Endless Knot was a strong presence in the room and bespoke the core of her being; the union of wisdom and method, the inter-twining of wisdom and compassion, and much more that Ruby couldn't quite remember.

The mocha-skinned martial artist had apparently opted to wear a two-sleeved robe which hung loosely at her side and exposed her shoulders (which the sniper could appreciate), her usual red sash with no fringes and embroidered with the Endless Knot, black pants and boots, and a strapped tank top. Had it not been for the robe then her abs would've been on full display. Alas, no such luck.

Still, Ruby was forever grateful that the Mistralian had decided to transfer to the Vale branch of R.I.P when she did. More eye-candy for her!

She had to give Emerald a call later. It had only been a week since they last met and the sniper's libido was getting restless; she imagine herself in the Sergeant's chair, the dark-skinned goddess just beneath sucking her off. Or even better, they were in Arslan's personal training-dojo where the golden-haired sex-bomb pinned her down and had her way with her; amazon-position, thigh-job, face-sitting while jerking her off, sideways-straddle to keep Ruby pinned while the Sergeant enjoyed some added grinding action against her clit, end it by cumming on her abs or between her breasts—

She quickly snapped out of her train of thought – Brother's be damned, she needed to call Emmy as soon as she got home!— as the Sergeant took a seat opposite her, having gone through a file-cabinet. As olive-green scrutinized her, the sniper straightened.

Gods, Arslan was gorgeous. Those lips just begged to be kissed—

Focus!

"Glad you could make it right away, Scatter," the blonde began, her voice smoky and commanding. "Did Chrono go through the details?"

Ruby snapped to attention. "Ah, uh…No, she didn't. She only mentioned this was about protection detail and highly urgent, but about that, Sergeant; why me? That's my sister's area of expertise—"

"Captain Wildfire is currently on a different PD assignment in Atlas; one specifically for her I was told," Arslan replied, arms crossed firmly over her impressive chest. In front of her on the desk was a file, likely containing information about this urgent mission. Her eyes locked with Ruby's in a steely gaze. "Is there a problem?"

"No, Sergeant—"

"Do you perhaps think it's beneath you?"

Ruby held up her hands in a placating manner. Nothing could be further from the truth; she lived to help people after all, it's what she had dreamt of since she was a child. "No, no, no! Not at all! It's just, I haven't exactly worked with guardianship before! I'm a detective after all. Besides, we have plenty of able-bodied protection agents around if –"

"I'm aware of this, Scatter. However, you're selling yourself too short if you think you can't handle it. I know you can." There was a slight, curved smile on her face before her expression went back to impassive. "The reason you're summoned is because the client asked for you specifically."

"Chrono told me as much. It doesn't make much sense though."

"Your arrest of Jacques Schnee didn't go unnoticed, you know. That was a major reason as to why this particular client asked for you by name."

Ruby cocked her head to the side, puzzled. She wracked her brain trying to figure out who could possibly want just her out of everyone. It was one thing if she had to fill in for Yang, but to explicitly request her due to the Jacques' arrest… Was it Weiss? A Faunus perhaps?

"And just like that you're already trying to deduce who it is," Arslan commented, slightly amused by the looks of it. She slid the file across her desk. "Here's the report."

Ruby took a closer look, eyes skimming through the contents. The list went on, but the summarization was clear; frequent unexplainable accidents and cryptic, threatening letters. Whoever the client is, they are convinced someone wants them dead. There was a police report from Anima local police about what they believe to be sniper shots, but they have yet to find the assailant.

So the client was from Anima. That ruled out Weiss then. Ruby made a mental note to call her when she was free and see if they could meet up.

"The client in question is not native to Vale, but they are currently staying due to the Faunus rally next week. They've been asked to speak at it. There was also a mention of the visit being work-related."

"So I'm to be their personal protection agent," Ruby stated.

"Yes. Agent Chrono and a small team will be assigned to investigate while you'll be personally protecting the client, effective as of immediately."

Ruby flashed a confident smile and saluted. While PPD (Personal Protection Detail) wasn't her forte, she was a graduated Huntress and one of R.I.P's most decorated officers; her loyalty belonged to the citizens of Remnant and it was in her nature to help people.

She got up from her seat. "I will not fail my mission, Sergeant! But, uh…You haven't even told me who the client is yet."

The blonde parted her lips, but her gaze was quickly cast to the door behind them and she remained silent when the door clicked open for Corporal Deadeye (aka May Zedong.)

"Sergeant Lion, Miss Khan is here to meet with officer Scatter."

Something clicked inside the sniper's mind.

The blonde nodded. "Let her in."

The clicking of heels against the floor followed suite as Ruby's mind raced –`Khan´ sounded familiar…too familiar – and she turned around, her heart vaulting inside her chest. Her eyes widened and jaw hung open, her cock immediately throbbing and straining against her underwear to full mast. Thank the Brothers for combat skirts.

Before her stood a woman, tall due to the black heels she wore, with skin brown as chocolate and short, wild jet-black hair at chin-length in an asymmetrical bob style. A small jewel decorated her forehead and golden earrings pierced her human ears and two more on her left Faunus ear; that of a tiger. Her short-hem, lilac Mistral kimono-robe and amethyst silk stockings, while beautiful and formal, hid even more beautiful tiger stripes tattoos underneath; stripes that went down the woman's shoulders and arms down to her wrists, down her back and over her perfect rear. Then they continued from just below at the junction of her derriere and thighs and down the back of her thighs and legs to the heels. Ruby knew this – knew on an intimate level just how well this woman's body looked from every angle and the way it could move and stretch and bend.

She knew because she had seen this woman's entire archive! Movies such as `Faunus Sluts Tamed´ 1-2, `Chocolate Bon Bons´ 2, `Primal Domination´ 1-6, and heavily featured in the adult magazine `Feral Instinct´ and one of Anima's most popular gravure idols.

She was the `Whip Mistress´, the `Tomcat Dominatrix´, the `Pussy in Boots´

The `Tiger Mom´ porn-star and idol, Sienna Khan.

Orange-yellow eyes met silver pools and the Faunus held out her hand. "Ahh…The Crimson Reaper, in the flesh; it's a pleasure to finally meet the woman who apprehended Jacques Schnee. You're a bit shorter in person as I was told."

Ruby couldn't breathe. The rising star of the porn industry and one of the sniper's targets for sexual fantasies was right in front of her. The woman who Ruby had spilled so much seed over, figuratively and literally (involving her poor laptop on the floor and flipped, plastic sheets, and a gravure picture or a video of Sienna, and about five-ten minutes of Semblance-fast jerking) was her client. She was to personally protect (one of) her favourite jerk-off material!

This was too good to be true! Was she dreaming? No, she had managed to clasp her hand in Sienna's. It felt real.

"P-P-Pleasure to meet you too, M-momm- I mean M-Miss Khan! Ruby Rose, at your service, but you can call me Ruby! The `Crimson Reaper´ is a bit too morbid…" she blurted out and quickly caught herself. "Ah…If y-you want."

`Or slave…´

"Very well, Ruby it is." Sienna eyed her over before glancing towards the Sergeant and back to the officer Deadeye. "So, now that's out of the way, shall we? As much as I might be safe at R.I.P's station I would prefer if we got a move on."

"Ah! Y-Yes, of course! Allow us to give you a firmer escort out of the building, Miss Khan!"

The Faunus offered an approving nod as she was led out by Ruby, Arslan, and a group of fellow agents back to the official transport.

x.x.x

"I have to admit, I was expecting something more to R.I.P's most decorated officer when I first saw you on the news."

Ruby winced at that, taken aback. The ride back to…wherever they were going hadn't started out well.

"Uh, sorry?"

"No need to apologize. It's in my nature to distrust humans," Sienna added. "I'm willing to work with them if it helps me, but that's about it. We Faunus have suffered for too long by human hands to simply forgive and forget."

That explained her rather cold attitude towards Ruby. "I understand, Miss Khan, but not all humans are to blame. Many of us want to lessen the divide."

"I'm aware of this."

"That includes me and the whole R.I.P. I'll have you know."

The darker woman glanced over from her seat, seemingly unimpressed. And then she smiled a lopsided smile and nodded. "I'm aware. Our mutual friend has ensured me of your reliability."

Ruby blinked at her and cocked her head to the side. "Our mutual friend?" Did she mean the Sergeant?

"Yes," Sienna replied. "But just the fact that you arrested Jacques Schnee has earned my respect. And trust," she added. "Faunus trafficking has taken a proper blow that it hopefully won't recover from and the SDC certainly won't either."

"I can assure you, Miss Khan, that the SDC won't repeat its mistakes and the Faunus labour will cease. I happen to know the family."

The older woman's expression shifted. "A small comfort, I suppose. I was told I could trust you with my life."

"But who—"

The car came to a slow halt. Ruby got out first and scoured the area while Ciel got out from next to the driver's seat. She and a handful of other agents were tasked to secure the areas while Ruby was to stay by Sienna's side at all times.

And she fucking loved it!

"So, uh…What's first on your agenda, Miss Khan?"

The Tiger Faunus stepped out of the car. "My gravure photoshoot," she said nonchalantly. "Try not to get distracted."

That had been easier said than done; the second Sienna had changed into a two-piece swimsuit, Ruby had had trouble looking away.

It was her job to watch over her, after all, even as Sienna posed in front of the cameras, suggestively so, in even more suggestive swim-wear, showing off her beautiful body; her legs, her butt, her toned back, and ample breasts.

As long as she didn't get distracted, that is. This job would be one of the toughest she had ever taken on.

x.x.x

After the lengthy, erotically torturous photoshoot, they were back in the car.

"So, uhm…" Her fingers drummed against her thighs, fidgeting. "What, uh, brings you all the way to Vale, Miss Khan? Or is it entirely about the Faunus rally?"

"A few reasons, but yes," the Faunus responded indifferently. "My next movie requires `Vale nature´, would you believe it. That's not my primary reason though. I care a lot more about my race than my job." She paused, inspecting her nails with a mildly satisfied expression. "Do you care to indulge me on something?"

Ruby beamed. "Of course!"

"How did it feel to put that bastard in his place?" Her eyes narrowed like a cat and a slight curve of her lips gave away her delight. "To know you ruined his way of life and in doing so brought justice to all of Remnant?"

"Oh…uhm…" She struggled to find a proper response. "…Bittersweet. He was the father of my best friend and I had to talk to her about it. But it had to be done and I don't regret it."

Sienna clicked her tongue and looked away.

She nodded. "Yes, I can understand that." She hummed to herself for a little while. "By the way, your weapon…"

"Y-Yes?!"

"That's a High-Calibre Sniper-Scythe, with a bolt-action rifle mode and custom-augmented sword upgrade, isn't it?"

Ruby's eyes widened. "Yes! Yes it is!" She gasped. "Are you a weapon enthusiast too?!"

"Heh. Not exactly."

Then nothing. The conversation didn't pick up again until after a twenty-minute car-ride across Vale and the older woman got out.

"I believe I like you, Ruby."

Ruby didn't stop smiling for the rest of the day.

x.x.x

A slow day; yesterday had been eventful when Ruby escorted Sienna to another signing followed by her shooting the first scenes of her new adult movie; the parts where nothing happened and is supposed to set the mood with crappy plots. Unfortunately the male co-star didn't feel too good, so the shooting was postponed.

Sienna's lounge/living-room was quiet save for the distant noise of a shower being on. Ruby basically walked in circles, waiting.

Until a certain tune caught her attention.

Ruby produced her Scroll. It was from Yang. Usually she would call her; she only sent texts if it wasn't urgent or—

Her eyes lit up.

Though she was in a relationship with Emerald, it wouldn't hurt to see what Yang had spotted while in Atlas.

And speaking of jealousy, the text implied Yang thought she had gotten a sweet deal when the pictures contained what the sniper assumed to be Atlas R.I.P agents. She had to admit that she was perhaps a teeny-tiny bit jealous as she scrolled through the attached images.

The first picture was of a tall, buff woman with hair as coco-brown as her complexion. She looked like a friendly giant, but by the Brothers, her muscles! Her bust was bigger than Yang's and those thighs…

Unf! Squeeze my head between them, mommy!

There was a second shot from the back and Ruby nearly fainted.

That. Ass. She could worship it all night long! It wasn't on Emerald or Sienna's level, but you'd have to be a fool to not want to press your face against it! The buff woman could easily carry Ruby without effort as the sniper humped away! Or the Lotus to keep the sniper pinned while she gyrated and grinded at her own pace.

And the second woman…

Dark-complexion, slim, athletic build, great ass, nice chest, sexy face, and a sexier look in her eyes.

She could see it vividly in her mind; the buff woman working her tits over her cock or using her strong physique to assert dominance, using Ruby like a flesh dildo for personal use, or the other girl grinding her ass against her shaft for warmup before they were a tangle of limbs on the bed or in an empty R.I.P office where anyone could walk in on them. She looked like the freaky type.

If Ruby wasn't aware that she was currently working at the moment she'd lay down her Scroll and whip out her cock for a quick session right away. It did sting that Yang got to meet these two lovely, mocha-skinned beauties…

But!

She could easily one-up Yang. The blonde may be able to taunt her with those two, but once Yang heard who she was protecting—

The door slid open as Sienna, refreshed and dressed, stepped outside. "Anything amiss?"

"N-No! Everything seems clear. So, what's the plan?"

"Well, this is a day off," the Faunus began, pondering. "I'm in the mood for some Vacuo take-out and relaxation today. My treat."

"Oh! Um…I'm grateful, but there's no need! I need to stay vigilant anyway—"

"You've been safeguarding me all day with barely any rest," Sienna intervened. "Take a little time off, rest up, and enjoy a good meal. Your fellow agents are watching the area anyhow."

"Well…if you insist, Sienna. I humbly accept."

The older woman smiled. "Good. Take a seat, I'll order us something."

The meal had been great! Ruby hadn't nearly paid enough attention to takeout food, but she made sure to note down the place for the future.

While they had eaten and lazily watched something on T.V they had talked to further pass the time. Topics such as how Sienna enjoyed Vale so far, Faunus, and the Jacque Schnee arrest was amongst them. There was however one question that weighed on Ruby's mind;

"Why did you get into the gravure modelling and…well, porn, if I may ask?"

The brunette shot her a mild scowl. "That's kind of personal, wouldn't you agree?"

Ruby immediately held up her hands in a placating manner. "R-Right, sorry! I didn't mean to pry or anything, it's just…well, you're such a smart woman and…I dare say that perhaps you could've been better off…"

"You think I'm wasting my potential."

She shrunk and averted her gaze. "I didn't mean to imply—"

"It's fine. In a way, you're right."

"Huh?"

Sienna got up from the couch and walked towards the window as she pulled the curtain aside. "I suppose I could do more with my life than being in front of cameras. I have potential, but honestly? It's a good income."

Ruby stumbled over her words. "So…uhm…it's a-about money…?"

"That, and because the world of pornography is, ironically, free of judgment. It's probably the only aspect of our world where humans and Faunus can cooperate fully. You already know how popular the trend of Faunus dominating humans is. Besides, I have fun. I'm not doing anything other people aren't already; the only difference is that I'm getting paid for it. I'm living fantasies that other people don't dare try out for themselves."

"That's...and interesting view. I never even considered that if I'm being honest."

"I don't blame you. If you work in the porn-industry, people already have a certain label on you. But rest assured that this was my choice." She peered back out of the window. "But I won't deny that perhaps I could've done something else instead. Then again, it's not too late for me to back out, if I so wish. So what if pictures and videos will remain on the internet? There are amateur couples uploading homemade videos out there."

It came as a small shock to Ruby having heard this, but there was also a sense of admiration for the older woman. She wasn't ashamed, it was on her terms, and she had a fair point.

She could respect that, but a part of her wondered just what Sienna would be doing if she didn't work as a pornographic actress.

x.x

Ruby didn't have time to respond to her sister until the next day.

She dialled Yang and waited. This was going to be glorious.

"Heya, Rubes! What's up?" her sister began.

"Hey, Yang! So, I got the pictures you sent—"

"Oh yeah, that?" She chuckled. "What can I say? I figured you've be envious; Harriet and Elm, their names by the way, are real cuties."

Damn right they are.

"If you want, I could give them your number and see where that goes~" Ruby didn't bother to reply and merely rolled her eyes. No doubt her sister was smirking right now.

"Your reply was kinda slow this time around, little sister; usually when a woman with dark complexion is involved you're all over that in an instant—"

"Well, yeah, but I've been busy, Yang. I was assigned for protection detail myself and… well, I had to accept."

"Huh? You did? For who?"

Her lips curled into a Cheshire grin. "I was chosen by name to protect Sienna Khan, the porn-star. You know her, the tiger-Faunus; big natural breasts, ass rivalling Blake's and a body that can flex and bend in almost impossible ways."

The silence that greeted her had her grinning from ear to ear – ears that she promptly kept her Scroll away from.

"You got— with WHOM?!"

And there it was.

"No no no, I absolutely refuse to believe that! You're lying!" Ruby burst out laughing. Oh how the tables had turned! "Don't you dare laugh, Ruby Rose! I want proof if you're gonna tell me shit like that or else I'll—"

"That would be so unprofessional of me, big sister," the sniper interrupted, gloating. "You just have to take my word for it. Scouts honour and all that."

"No, I won't take your word for it! Proof or it didn't happen!"

It was time to deliver the final blow; using the picture she took earlier, Ruby attached it to a message and hit Send. Now she just had to wait. She could hear her sister's heavy breathing from the other line.

The silence broke. "No…No I refuse to believe it! You and—! That's—! I mean—!" she stammered out loud from the other end. Ruby couldn't help but laugh, her sides splitting as Yang kept shouting. The salt was, in fact, real. "How the fuck did you end up with her of all people?! That's not fair! I'm stuck here in cold Atlas and you— Hey what did I just say about laughing?!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Ruby managed between snorts. "I'll stop; Miss Khan needs me anyway!"

"Don't you dare hang up on me, I demand details! Can I get her num—?!"

The call ended with a simple click as the sniper put her phone on silent and headed back to her client with a spring in her step.

x.x.x

Another day and two went by. So far there had been no trouble on any fronts.

Regular contact with Ciel and her team ensured Ruby that there had been no suspicious activity as of yet. Good. More time to hang out with Sienna who luckily didn't have much scheduled.

"I'm not surprised that you support Faunus equality, but I'm glad to hear it nonetheless."

"Well, I had great parents who raised me properly," Ruby replied with a playful smile. "I just see people, you know? A tail or a set of ears, it doesn't matter. Besides, when I attended Beacon academy, one of my teammates was a Faunus and I have nothing but respect for her."

"It's good to hear that the divide has been lessened here in Vale over the years. Unfortunately, the rest of Remnant is a bit behind, especially Atlas."

On that, they could agree on.

x.x.x

The days came and went without any troubles.

Ruby dutifully followed Sienna wherever she went, be it on an off-day or at her workplace. The movie wasn't being worked on for the time being, leaving the gravure-idol to mostly photoshoots and a signing where plenty of fans showed up to get anything – a photo, a shirt, their naked bodies – signed.

She was kind of envious, but to Ruby, she was in the best of positions. However, as much as she enjoyed getting a front-row seat of Sienna in action it was the time spent with her in her temporary apartment that was the most interesting.

"It's nice to hear that from a fan's perspective," Sienna replied to Ruby's comment regarding sexual freedom. "Vale seems to be the only real place where people of all kinds can be themselves. I've had the misfortune of visiting Atlas once and its people were as cold as the climate. No thank you."

"Right? I think I've only met like, three people from Atlas who aren't super strict and no-nonsense. Well, maybe just two. The third one works in their military, but by comparison…"

Sienna softly laughed. "First time for everything I suppose. Are they humans?"

"Yes, but—"

"Then forgive me if I find that hard to believe. The humans I know of are greedy, oppressing monsters." She scoffed and swirled her drink in the glass. "May I ask you something?"

"Of course! Ask me anything; I'm here to protect and serve after all, Miss Khan!"

The older woman's expression became sultry and her smile smoky. "I'll keep that in mind, but please, you may call me Sienna. So, humour me; it's painfully aware that you're a fan of mine. And it's flattering, but what's your type exactly?"

Rosy heat spread across her face and her throat dried up. "I, uhm…That is…ah…"

Sienna chuckled. "Cat got your tongue?"

x.x.x

The day of the Faunus rally arrived.

It was being held at the Vale town-square and so far the amount of Faunus and human supporters that had congregated was impressive.

"How are you feeling?" Ruby asked as they drove by in the car, watching the crowd before her gaze wandered back to the older woman; she was dressed in a back-revealing red cape with gold accents over a black form-fitting dress with a squared keyhole on the front and the back open, with white pants and black thigh-length boots.

She looked rather regal and it was kind of funny given her actual profession.

"I'm feeling well," the Faunus replied. "This isn't my first time speaking at a rally, but thank you for your concern."

"It's my job, isn't it?"

"Yes, but," Sienna remarked. "That's just who you are, is it not? Kind and caring, I was told. I'm pleased to find out I wasn't lied to."

Ruby arched an eyebrow. "Who told you?"

Sienna chuckled. "A mutual friend. Let me tell you something, Ruby Rose; this mutual friend has my respect and trust. As such, I trusted them when they told recommended you for protection. But having spent time with you like this I've come to a realization."

"Oh? And what would that be…?"

She smiled. "The realization that even though you are a human, I would've come to trust you even without the recommendation – even if you had not arrested Jacques Schnee. You are not like most of your kind, Ruby. You see people, not races, with no care about their stations in life and you want to help however you can. I can respect that. So…Thank you."

Ruby smiled shyly at her. "It's my pleasure, Sienna."

They had arrived shortly after Ciel and her team had positioned themselves on lookout.

Ruby led her client around the crowd and to the back of the wooden platform that had been constructed for the rally.

"Good luck." Ruby offered a polite, affirmative nod.

Sienna smiled and nodded back at her. "Thank you."

The crowd cheered as she walked on-stage. She waved on her way to the podium and cleared her throat as Ruby watched.

"Fellow Faunus of Vale! There are no words that can express just how pleased I am to see so many of you here today!"

Ruby giggled to herself as she paid close attention to her client, but also looked out over the sea of people. It was inspiring to see people come together like this.

"-And I'm telling you that no matter what you do in life, you are never lesser than anyone else! We are not animals; we are people, proud and deserving of respect and equality-"

Ironic how such a dominatrix who wielded so much control and was known to tease her slaves – having slaves no less! – spoke so much about equality. Granted it was just an act, but still.

Ruby kept watch, impressed and swayed by Sienna's words just as the crowd was. She observed the joy on their faces, the way they hollered and pumped their fists—

…Well, save for a few of them. There was a handful of them now that she looked closer, who seemed to stare blankly at the Tiger Faunus. Odd. It bugged her, though.

Deciding against to mull it over, Ruby glanced back over at her client. Sienna's enthusiasm shined through as she continued and the way she spoke from her heart, from experience and with conviction was awe-inspiring and—

Something small and red darted by the black and white of her clothes.

Ruby blinked and turned her head fully. She waited. Watched closely.

The red things darted by again, slower this time. It crept up over Sienna's chest—

Her heart suddenly beat a mile a minute.

Red warning flags went off and her instincts kick in high gear.

"Sienna, get down!"

Ruby dashed over to her client in a blur of rose-petals and tackled the older woman away. A loud boom of a bullet being shot drowned the murmurs of the spectators who soon erupted with screams and gasps.

The commotion demanded her attention, but she quickly peered back at her charge. "Are you okay, Sienna?"

"I'm fine, but what was that?!" She snarls. "Did someone—"

Ruby whipped her head around and spun Crescent Rose to deflect the incoming bullets. Armed men and women, clad in eerie masks emerged from the surrounding buildings and made their way towards them and some of the people in the crowd suddenly produced guns. There were fifteen of them, likely more, plus the sniper.

The crowd screamed. Panic erupted.

Gunfire reverberated loudly over the town-square. Bodies fell to the ground.

Steeling herself, Ruby took aim, clearing her mind of the chaos. The effects of the gruesome scenario would have to be tackled once this was over. One of the assailants was lined up with her scope and her finger pulled back on the trigger.

Headshot; the assailant flew back and a colourful sheen crackled over his head. Auras meant they had specific training thus ruling them out as ordinary criminals. It wasn't impossible for people outside the academies to train in Auras, but it required someone with such experience.

She fired again, hitting a thug who was foolishly rushing at her. Idiot. The others began to run as well with some staying behind, guns trained on her.

Crescent Rose clicked and whirred as Ruby utilized the Dust cartridge in a way Blake and to extension Weiss had taught her back at Beacon. As her beloved weapon changed to that of a sword she dashed, powered by her Semblance, in a torrent of burning rose-petals and scorched a zig-zag path through four assailants.

She came to a halt behind the group—

"Get her!"

-And narrowly dodged what appeared to be a massive chainsaw carving into the stone pavement and rushed back with a slash of Crescent Rose' sword-form, cutting the large, masked man across his abdomen.

He staggered backwards, but quickly regained his footing as he swung the chainsaw in retaliation.

Ruby ducked down in the blink of an eye and cut a path across the man's legs. He fell, his weapon clattered and whirring a good pace away. She kicked it away and spun around to do the same with the assailant's face. That'd buy her some time.

Gunfire pierced through the air and drowned the noise around her. The wheels in her head quickly turned and a red flag begins to wave—

A louder, sharper sound of a bullet tearing through the air alerts her.

Snipers.

A second shot grazes against Ruby's cheek as she rolls to the side. She couldn't stay still for long.

In a flurry of petals she sprinted out of the way and towards the closest enemy target. Blade clashed against rifle and the latter prevailed no better than a tree-branch facing an axe.

Disarmed, the thug poised a stance that did little to the punch which connected sharply against her jaw. The impact had her floored with cut-short cry.

Ruby quickly glanced around. There were too many of them. Their Auras would ensure they would get back up on their feet and she couldn't incapacitate them with cuffs while there still were gunmen trained on her—

Rapid gunfire rained down on the thugs; it came from one side, then another, like a barrage of a whole team of trained gunmen.

And then in the middle of four assailants, seemingly out of nowhere, a friendly face arrived.

"Ciel!"

The fellow agent took aim from either side of her and fired her dual blasters; within a second her left arm aimed in front of her, her right mimicking the millisecond her left took aim back towards the left of her with pin-point accuracy.

The assailants fell to the ground, their Auras' severely weakened.

"Oh thank you, Ciel! I thought—!"

"We're partners, Scatter. It's only natural," the Deputy-Chief replied. More armed attackers appeared. "Stay close to Miss Khan. Every second counts."

Ciel – Chrono – ran towards a group of them, guns blazing. She fell to her knees and slid forward, the blasters changing and modified shape into batons.

In a flurry of precise strikes across knees and shins, Ciel left a trail of knocked over and incapacitated – thanks to lightning Dust – gunmen before she jumped back onto her feet in a blur.

Her Semblance – Overclock – allowed the meticulous girl to manipulate her own time-flow, be it speeding up, slowing down, or make Time itself come to a halt (in her eyes) for about three seconds (or 2.37 seconds if you asked her.)

In what appeared to be her phasing in and out of existence, leaving at best a blur behind her, Ciel struck a gunwoman in the abdomen with a baton and another across the face as she ducked and sidestepped blows.

Ruby jumped up with help of her own Semblance, firing at a target in the back and allowed the recoil to guide her backwards where she landed in a crouch.

Another distinct, sonorous gunfire akin to a sniper-rifle was heard overhead, but noise following suite was that of a pained yelp and the jarring crash of a body falling onto the pavement.

`Deadeye.´

She smirked and glanced back – Sienna looked unharmed – and nodded as she fired at the remaining thugs—

A cold shiver ran down her back.

An acute, high-pitching noise of something cutting through the air and the sense of malicious intent overwhelmed her senses and closed in—

Without even looking Ruby flung herself backwards with a swirl of rose-petals and grabbed her charge along with her. The sound of wood breaking and splintering was heard behind her before she landed a good distance away.

"Ruby, what was—?!" Sienna began, but Ruby pushed her back.

Crescent Rose had reverted back to its sword-form as large folding blades clashed and grinded against it.

"The star-officer of R.I.P, in the flesh! How exciting!"

A tall man sneered at her and swung his arms like that of a beast with blades resembling pincers.

She parried his second and third blow in a whirl, but the man was relentless. She kept him at bay, but he pushed her back.

He cackled out loud as they got stuck in a weapon-lock. His eyes, bright like gold, shone a venomous purple, his predatory grin spreading from ear-to-ear.

Something stuck up from behind the man and pointed at her. Ruby eyes widened and narrowly avoided what looked like a scorpion stinger aiming at her throat—

The man howled with laughter as a pincer slid out of the lock.

His hand glowed purple.

Ruby's heart quickened.

The man raked his free hand over Ruby's arm, shoulder to elbow.

Pain bloomed across her arm. It burned like fire and her throat constricted from the sensation as she noticed her Aura flickering around where the man had touched her.

Like an open wound, her arm was exposed from Aura.

And he sliced a narrow, crimson path up over it in a single stroke.

It was not deep, but Ruby bit back on a scream and pushed back, going for the offense; creating some distance, she raised her blade and slashed down before dashing to the side in a flurry of roses—

Gunfire – akin to that of a shotgun or heavy rifle – cut the silence and sharp pain blossomed over her right temple.

She staggered to the side and barely managed to avoid the scorpion Faunus' stinger as she regained her footing and glanced to her right.

A long, single-edged sword spun in the air – likely what had hit her just now – until it a woman with long, crimson hair caught it effortlessly and sheathed it in a single motion. She wore a similar mask like the other thugs and her curved horns – making her a Faunus – jutted out from the scarlet tresses. Her slim figure, clad in a long, black high-collared coat with a black leather cinch over ebon, low-cut shirt with crimson trims, likely meant she was athletically inclined. Long legs clad in ebon stockings and knee-high, ashen-black combat-boots crossed before the other as she gripped the hilt of her sword—

Blade rattled against blade as the woman suddenly appeared before her in the blink of an eye.

She was like a blur, her coordinated attacks trailing red in their wake.

Ruby parried just as quickly, petals flurrying around her as she kept up with her attacker.

Sweat broke out over her skin. Her heart raced wildly. Her breathing was out of control as she dodged and weaved between precise attacks.

What worried her was that each window of opportunity she struck back, the woman's sword glowed a menacing crimson, but also the barrage of gunfire that the scorpion Faunus laid down on her.

Ruby rolled a distance away from suppressing fire, but the woman was at her heels, pushing on.

Trapped between a wall of a building and the swordswoman, blades grinding, with the scorpion Faunus stalking his way towards her Ruby swore under her breath.

Her arm trembled from the stinging pain.

The rattle of metal cracked through the air as a long, chained whip snapped at the pavement between Ruby and the swordswoman who jumped back.

A gasp tore through Ruby's throat.

It retracted and snapped through the air as it lashed against the elusive woman until it twisted and coiled around her ankle, and the chain tautened as the woman was pulled back with its sudden recoil and crashed against the ground, dragging her towards—

"Sienna?! What are you doing, you need to—!"

"I appreciate the concern, but don't worry! I'll handle this one!" the Tiger Faunus snarled back. "This is personal!"

She watched Sienna skilfully whip and fling her weapon, its coiling form forming an impressive defence as well as offence against the recovered swordswoman. She watched her client nimbly dodge attacks with agility a normal person shouldn't have.

Ruby glared back anxiously before she barely avoided a stinger and rolled out of the way into a crouch, staring down the scorpion-man.

"Can't forget about me!" He cackled. "I must say, I'm disappointed! Is this the extent of what the so-called prodigy of R.I.P is capable of?"

"You managed to take me by surprise before," she replied, her inner Yang showing as she cracked a grin. "But I'm afraid you've showed your hand already!"

The man sneered as he launched himself forward and slashed his blades.

Ruby whirled away, a trail of rose petals in her wake, and smirked as the man struck nothing but air. She readied Crescent Rose in its rifle form and kept her distance as she fired at him.

The man was quick, but using her Semblance at the right moment, she was out of his reach.

She occasionally hit him, his Aura crackling in response, but he was evasive and soon responded by firing back.

His guns were less accurate, but wilder. Bullets scattered over a small area that kept Ruby on the move as she darted around him.

Giving up on distance, Crescent Rose whirred and morphed mechanically as Ruby dashed forward, blades clashing. She knew what the man could do; he wouldn't get a second chance.

Ignoring the pain in her arm, Ruby kept up the offence; she swung fluidly, watched him step back. She cut at him, occupying his hands and forced his attention away from her legs.

As soon as their weapons locked Ruby angled her weapon and raised her leg, extending it for a swift kick to the Faunus' side.

The man groaned and staggered, breaking the weapon-lock, but her fist was waiting and sharply connected against the bridge of his nose.

He stumbled back with a pained, frustrated groan and she shot forward, as fast as a bullet, into his chest and tackled him to the ground with a Semblance powered by lightning Dust.

The enfilade of chaos was still echoing around them. Ciel seemed, to no surprise, hold her own, and Ruby couldn't quite see how Sienna was doing.

She used her weight and the force of her tackle to pin the man onto his back and struck his face again.

The scorpion Faunus shot back a glare and slashed at her exposed arm.

She moved out of the way, but his second swipe across her collarbone threw her off him and sent her tumbling across the pavement. Her Aura crackled.

As soon as Ruby got back up on her feet, so did the man, who dashed towards her and swung his blades, making for separating her head from her shoulders.

She leapt back and readied her sword as his stinger jabbed at her.

For a moment, Ruby's blood ran cold.

A single, precise gunshot roared over the chaos and struck at the barb and forced it aside so that it missed her completely.

The man came to a halt and his feral eyes gleamed before a metal tonfa – third form of a certain meticulous girl's weapons – struck across his face in a blur, followed by striking his chest like a punch in quick succession.

"I've got your back, Scatter."

Ciel darted around the Faunus, jabbing at his ribs and back as Ruby joined in, slashing against his leg.

His Aura crackled and he stumbled with barely stable footing. The man groaned and screamed in frustration as he struggled to catch up to the officer thanks to her Semblance and Ruby dashed around.

But it wasn't enough. In bestial aggression, too fast and wild to be stopped, the man spun in a flurry of blades and lashed out with keen anticipation a glowing hand that swiped across the girl's abdomen.

Aura corroded away and the girl screamed—

"CIEL!"

-And jabbed his stinger through the exposure in her Aura.

The sickening noise of flesh and sinew being pierced was disturbingly heard over Ciel's shriek.

The man shot back a wicked smile at Ruby. "Looks like your friend isn't going to make it!" he taunted before he surged towards her.

She saw red. Her heart pounded in her ears.

Ruby dashed to the side, but the man was quick to follow and thrust his tail like a spear right into her stomach.

Her Aura would ensure that his stinger would not pierce, but it crackled red as she rolled across the pavement, gasping for breath.

Her arm hurt. Her Aura was healing it, having been restored, but she was running low on Aura.

And so was he.

"Okay," she muttered and wiped dirt away from her face. "Once more, with feeling."

She got up on her feet, Crescent Rose in hand. The man lunged at her. She parried his attack with a brush of her blade as it glanced aside, but he circled around her with the aim of striking from behind, but she sidestepped out of the way.

Ruby slowed down her breathing. Focused entirely on it. She remembered her training with Yang, her dad, uncle, and the Sergeant – remembered that she had a client to protect.

The Faunus swept at her again, but the blade bounced off hers. He slashed again –

WHAM!

The heavy, blunt end of her weapon struck into his side as his Aura crackled. He staggered and bent over, coughing and on the verge of screaming.

In quick succession she struck again with her elbow into his solar-plexus before spinning and kicked at his other side with the back of her foot.

His Aura crepitated violently as he stumbled backwards with loose footing.

Channelling her fury, Ciel fresh on her mind, she pressed on; in an explosive snap upwards, she struck the Faunus right in his throat, his breath gushing out in a violent fit.

Lilac energy dispersed like powered glass from his body.

Ruby gritted her teeth and shot herself up in a flurry of petals above him, suspended in mid-air as the man still struggled to stand.

Crescent Rose clicked and hummed.

Extended.

Like the Reaper, she swung her scythe right underneath his tail.

`Click´

She pulled the trigger.

The scythe was wetted with blood and bile.

The man howled as his tail was cut in two, his deadly trait now a twitching, useless mess on the ground.

"You BITCH!" He screamed as he writhed and thrashed, his eyes gleaming with hostility. He lunged in feral desperation as she landed, swinging his blades—

Ruby crouched out of the way and shot back up, head-butting the man with a sickening crunch as Crescent Rose clattered on the pavement.

He staggered backwards, wailing. She lashed out a leg and swept him off his feet and in a single motion spun, grabbed his arm and with the help of her Semblance, threw him over her shoulder and into the ground.

A single, strangled gasp escaped him as landed. Then he didn't move.

Her heart pounded frantically despite herself.

Panic began to rear its head. Most of the chaos had settled, but there was no sight of the other woman or Sienna except for her discarded cape, and Ciel needed treatment urgently!

She wavered and froze up. Both needed immediate help.

Not taking the risk of just leaving Ciel, Ruby fished up her Scroll as she hurried to wherever Sienna could be.

x.x.x

Sienna fell into a crouch as a crescent crimson trail cut the air above her and jumped to the side in a catlike fashion on all fours.

She took the moment that had been allowed and caught her breath. They had been at it for a little while, but their quick blows had drained both of most of their Auras. The alleyway didn't give them much room and both of them were short on breath.

She sprinted, chain whip twirling. The three blades sliced through the air with an eerie chime as she lashed at the elusive swordswoman before she got close enough to raise her knee and snapped it outward against the redhead's knee-joint.

The other Faunus teetered to the side, but quickly retaliated with a swift sheathing of her blade before she unsheathed it in a single stroke.

The slice grazed Sienna's shoulder as she fell backwards, bent her body so that her palms pressed against the ground, and flipped over to her feet.

They stared each other down.

"You always thought you were better than me, Sienna!" The swordswoman spat. "Always being the more popular one, showered with praise and placed on a pedestal!"

Sienna bristled. "What happened to you wasn't my fault, nor does it warrant my death, Ada!"

"Shut the hell up!"

The swordswoman ran like the wind towards Sienna and drew her blade, cutting a path as she did.

But she whirled away, nimbly and cleverly as an old cat, and with a flick of her wrist sent her chain-whip lashing out.

The first Dust blade shot out like a dart, a small fiery glow in the middle, as it hit its mark and a small, but powerful explosion emitted at Ada's feet and sent her tumbling across the pavement, Aura shimmering.

Ada regained her footing and hunched down before she shot forward with enough speed to leave darkened afterimages behind her.

Sienna jumped to the side and then to the next before jumping backwards, her palms pressing against the stone below as she curled—

She shot back up and planted her feet square in Ada's face, using the momentum and force to propel herself away as the redhead fell onto her back.

She got up, poised to strike, as her mask crumbled from her face. A single, beautiful azure eye glared back with scathing spite.

And the other, blind and marred with a sickly pale scarring, stared blankly.

"I will never forgive you for what you did, Sienna! We trained and fought together, you and me against the world! And you repay me with betrayal!"

"I had nothing to do with that accident!" She shot back with ragged breath. "It wasn't I who decided to let you go because of it!"

"You took advantage of it either way! I thought I could trust you; that you had my back, but instead you wanted all the popularity for yourself, thinking you're the cock of the walk!"

"There you go again, blaming everyone else for everything that has gone wrong with your life, Ada!"

This time, Sienna leapt at her.

She vaulted into the air, whip extended and coiling in the area around her.

It lashed at the ground right in front of her foe, forcing the swordswoman to retreat as she landed.

She retracted the chain and kicked at end, the second Dust blade disconnecting and flung out like a bullet—

Ada drew her blade as the projectile struck it, the force and lightning stored within feeding her Semblance with a bloody glow.

Sienna's breath hitched as she was sent flying rearwards with a sharp pain across her chest.

Her back hit a wall and the air was knocked out of her lungs as she fell onto the ground into a crouch. Her Aura was weak; she could feel it as clearly as she could hear footsteps come closer.

"You were always there when I needed you, Sienna. But I don't need you anymore," the swordswoman calmly stated. She pointed her sword with the intention to stab the Tiger Faunus. "I'm sorry, but this is about to finally come to an end."

Sienna glared up at the woman, but her expression greatly softened. "By the Brothers…You really are delusional. I almost feel sorry for you."

The bovine Faunus' face twisted with scorn. "You…pity me?!"

Ada jabbed her blade forward in blind rage.

Sienna rolled out of the way, smirked as her foe struck nothing but the wall, and lashed out her whip.

It tangled and coiled around Ada's sword-arm and pulled, making her drop the weapon.

Ada staggered and Sienna lunged at her, fist clenched and hurled it against the redhead's face.

The sound of the impact was deafening and the red Aura flickered and dispersed completely after.

She angled herself and gripped Ada's arm, now defenceless as her own Semblance activated; adding to the genealogy as a Tiger, Sienna grew faster, stronger, and more vicious as she used what was left of her Aura to overwhelm her opponent in a grapple.

Mercilessly, she twisted Ada's arm.

The swordswoman cried out.

"You always were short-sighted, Ada," she hissed.

She relinquished her grip as the bovine Faunus fell to the ground, writhing and screaming with a broken arm.

"Now to hand you in to the authorities—"

Tiger ears flicked up at the subtle sound of rubble being crushed under the weight of a boot, the silent cocking of a gun, and a low, slow exhale.

She spun around.

Her whip twirling around like a wheel; she flung it with a snapping lash as the third and last Dust blade was ejected forward, fast as an arrow, and lodged into a gunman's rifle in an explosion of ice, encasing weapon and assailant's hands in the blink of an eye.

She scoffed. "So there were some left, huh?"

There was a click; a grunt; the whistle of wind and a familiar voice screaming her name all at once.

She turned to see the maw of a rifle gaping at her for a split-second.

A rosy blur sped by with the putrid sound of flesh being sliced off and blood sprayed like a curtain, an arm with a rifle in hand – which seemed to have functioned as a scabbard – now limp on the pavement, separated, followed by a shriek as Ada once again fell back down and writhed.

Like an animal, she pounced at the wailing woman, clutching her throat. The sound became strangled.

Her chokehold tightened as muscles went taut and nails dug into the swordswoman's skin as Sienna let loose a loud growl with a single, swift motion as bones cracked audibly.

The world seemed to stop.

"Sienna…"

The older woman let out a shuddering breath. "Ruby…" She scoffed. "I suppose you have some questions."

"Yeah…" Ruby breathed out with a huff. "First of all, are you alright?"

"Thanks to you," she replied with a lopsided smile. "My apologies for the trouble, but she," Sienna gestured at the dead woman. "-And I have a bit of history."

"I thought as such. Let's get you patched up. The ambulance should be on their way and a group of agents will escort you back home."

"You're not coming with me?"

"I want to, but my partner, she…" Ruby swallowed the lump in her throat. "She got stung by that scorpion Faunus. I want to stay with her at least until she has recovered enough."

Sienna nodded as her Tiger ears relaxing. "I understand. Then, how about you meet me at my place the day after tomorrow? I won't travel back to Anima for at least another week or two. There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Yeah…Yeah that sounds great," Ruby replied with a smile.

x.x.x.x

The aftermath was a mess. The town-square was filled with ambulances and medics desperately trying to save as many as they could.

Regretfully, there had been some casualties from Ada's attack.

After seeing Sienna off safely escorted back to her apartment, the case now solved with Ada and her group dead or in cuffs, Ruby had opted to stay behind at her partner's side in the ambulance.

The brunette stirred with a groan. "Where…where am I…?"

"In an ambulance on its way to the hospital," Ruby gently replied. Their eyes met. She smiled. "You got stung by a scorpion stinger, but the medics have managed to draw out the poison."

"I…see…And Miss Khan?"

"She's on her way back to her apartment with a safe escort."

Ciel coughed and winced. "Isn't that…supposed to be your job…?"

"The others can handle that. I wanted to stay here if you needed me."

Tired eyes regarded her. "You should've stayed with your charge. That's your job…"

"The case is closed. She's safe now." Ciel didn't respond. Ruby gently squeezed her shoulder. "I'll be by your side, partner."

The girl let out a tired sigh, the corners of her lips tugging weakly upwards. "…Thank you…"

x.x.x

The case was solved in the battle at the town-square. Apparently, Ada Taurus had been a fellow idol and adult actress to Sienna Khan, but a freak accident had inflicted a scar that had led to her being let go. Supposedly, jealousy and spite had driven the woman mad and blamed Sienna for what happened.

The assailants that had survived were in custody, including the assassin for hire, Tyrian Callows, who was wanted by Atlas, Mantle, and Menagerie authorities. A representative of the Mantle branch of the R.I.P, a young Junior-Sergeant named Joanna Greenleaf, (whom Ruby had the pleasure to meet and added to her mental spank-bank) along with a cadre of agents had taken the Faunus into custody.

Ruby's job was done. A day passed, then another.

The report had been completed and handed in, but personal business led her away from home and back to Sienna's Vale apartment.

There was something borderline daunting standing in front of Sienna's temporary abode again after what happened.

She knocked on the door and waited. She heard footsteps coming closer and the door eventually clicked open.

Ruby's breath hitched as her eyes widened.

"Hello again, my dear protector. Please, come in," the older woman said and stepped to the side as to allow the officer inside. Ruby's gaze was glued to the Faunus until she walked past her.

Sienna's dress was a black sleeveless Mistralian Qipao/Cheongsam dress which barely covered the Tiger Faunus' butt, with a high collar and scarlet trims. It had a single cut on its right side from the hip to her neck, over her collarbones, with red-trimmed straps connecting the front and back-half of the dress. The top had a generous diamond-shaped cut-out over the valley between her breasts and the dress had golden tigers and red rose designs throughout in an artistic, typical Mistralian style. It was slender, tight, and formfitting, and greatly accentuated Sienna's curves. Her thighs were clad in ashen-black fishnet-stockings with back-seam that beautifully hugged those chocolate loins and a pair of black heels made her a bit taller.

"You, uh…wished to see me, Sienna."

"I did." She led the officer past the lounge and into the brunette's bedroom. "I wanted to first of all thank you for saving my life, but there are no words or money that could ever convey just how grateful I am."

Ruby glanced around the spacious bedroom, her throat suddenly dry. "It's my job, Sienna. Protecting people is what R.I.P do."

"I feel that I still owe you. Despite what they say about felines, I only have but one life and you nearly lost yours to save it," the Faunus replied. She regarded her with a soft look in her eyes and a warm smile. Her body-language was different. "But before we go any further, I suppose you have some questions?"

"Yeah. You know how to fight and on a Huntress level, too; you have an Aura and I can only guess a Semblance as well. You identified my weapon with a single glance back when we first met. Where—"

"Remember when I told you that I could go a different path, Ruby?" Sienna interrupted. "I told you, the pornographic industry is a lot less judgmental. I have the looks, so I took advantage of it and I'm always satisfied one way or another. But back in the day I attended Haven academy and passed with flying colours – Ada did as well – I even considered joining the R.I.P, too. I have the skills and talents for it. But in the end, I chose the path where it was easier for me rather than stop and fight for my fellow Faunus. What happened at the rally reminded me." She flashed a slight grin. "And I've always known how to handle whips."

She sheepishly laughed. "That…That explains your knowledge about weapons," Ruby replied in awe. "And while I do, uhm…enjoy your work I..."

She didn't want to say it, but Sienna once again said it for her.

"I'm wasting my potential that could've been for the betterment of my people. You're right. Perhaps having enlisted in the R.I.P would've benefitted me and my people a lot more. Not that it's too late for me to change career." She breathed a sigh. "Oh well, that's a topic for another time. Let's not sour the moment that's supposed to be about you, my Crimson Reaper."

"Y-Yeah?" Ruby replied with a lump in her throat. Sienna stepped closer with a sensual gait, forcing the sniper to back into the bed.

"Yes," Sienna then said, leaning in closer. She was close – enough to steal a kiss if she wanted – and reached forward to remove the iconic scarlet cloak from Ruby's shoulders. "You won't need this. It's going to get quite…warm. This is for you."

Before Ruby could ask what the reward was, Sienna began to move slowly, as if dancing to music.

Heat crept up over her face as the older woman gently pushed her into the bed and straddled her as she kept dancing. She rolled her hips and grinded against the agent, giving her as much clothed contact as she wanted, but didn't take it further.

She watched Sienna move her body – watched her curves sway with impressive, smooth rolls. Her cock twitched down below and a part of her wished she could just whip it out and take the beautiful woman right then and there.

Alas, this was a treat for the eyes with limited contact through clothes with her favourite porn-star and she was okay with that.

Then Sienna turned around, one long leg crossing over Ruby's body and giving her the briefest of glimpses of what carnal delights hid beneath the short dress. When the woman had turned completely, she got back up on her feet, but lowered her hindquarters enough to brush against the fabric of Ruby's clothes – to tease her body and eyes with that striped butt of hers.

This continued for what felt like an eternity in complete silence.

Sienna broke it with a heated peek over her shoulder. "You know, I'm starting to think this isn't enough of a reward. How about we…take it up a notch? Maybe I'll show you just how my body can move when the cameras ain't rolling."

The implication dawned on Ruby and her lust subsided as Emerald – her loving girlfriend whom pulled her heartstrings – came to mind.

"I, uh…D-don't know about this, S-Sienna…" she said, but her heart wasn't in it. This was one of her fantasies, a dream come true right before her eyes! It was bittersweet, but in the end she couldn't possibly betray the woman whom she had loved for such a long time.

No. She just couldn't.

Fantasies are all good as long as you don't act on them and Ruby couldn't bring herself to do that no matter how tempting and rationality took over. "I can't do that to my girlfriend! I just couldn't! What kind of person would I be if I did?!"

"Oh, Ruby," the older woman softly interrupted. "You really are such a sweet girl. She was right about you."

"`She´? Who do you mean?"

"I'll show you, darling." Sienna chuckled as she produced her Scroll and, after a few clicks, held it out to the sniper as a video began to play.

"Hello, Ruby. If you're seeing this, then I can only assume you and Sienna are about to do the deed!"

Ruby stared, stunned into silence as a certain thief showed up on the screen, her heart skipping a happy little beat.

"I know what you're thinking. `Why does Sienna have a recorded video of my girlfriend?´ she mimicked in a not-half-bad impression of the sniper. Cute. "Well, it's simple, really. Sienna and I go way back. She was in need of my services, bit of unofficial business you know. I'm usually not for hire, but the Lien made it worth it."

Of course money was involved. Ruby playfully scoffed.

"Anyway, as you may have already deduced, my lovely little sleuth, this message is recorded in advance to let you know that if you and Sienna do indeed wind up in bed, you have my permission. I won't be mad."

"Huh? Wait what—?"

"This was before we got together, but I wasn't exactly living in celibacy before we met, my love. I've shared beds with plenty of women until you showed up in my life as R.I.P's star-officer." The Mirage Mistress smiled tenderly. "I am overjoyed that I got to be your first – I wouldn't have wanted it any other way – but to me, it's only fair if you get to have your own fun, on the condition that once in a while I get to join!" She cracked a grin and winked. "Granted, that may be a bit difficult since I'm a wanted criminal and all, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Point is, I'm giving you permission to fuck Sienna's pretty brains out, and don't think I'm clueless about your search history or about certain co-workers of the darker complexion, missy!"

Ruby sheepishly smiled and fidget with her neck. They really could read each other like books.

"Anyway…Just, have fun, alright? I know you; sexual escapades aside, I know your heart belongs to me just as mine belongs to you. You're the love of my life, Ruby Rose. I'll catch you later when I'm done with my next heist!" She winked and flew a kiss at the screen. "Later, my darling!"

The video ended. The sniper-officer chuckled and shook her head. "She's unbelievable. Now I get what you meant by a `mutual friend; ´ she helped steal something back for you."

"Yes, and I offered her a safe place to hide once in a time of need. Provided she paid for food and water. Contact since then was kept minimal and became quite rare, but we maintain it nonetheless."

"Huh. A favour for a favour… So, uh…when Emmy said she shared beds and all…did you two ever—"

Sienna chuckled and winked at the sniper. "A lady doesn't kiss and tell, you know. I'll leave that to your imagination~"

And what an imagination that suggestion sparked, even better when Ruby added herself to the mix of dark vixens.

"So, you heard her," the Tiger Faunus' voice dropped in octave as she leaned forward to Ruby's eye-level, the diamond-shaped cutout just below. "You've got special permission. So what's it going to be, my dear?"

Their faces were barely an inch apart. Amber-apricot eyes locked with shiny silver ones, heavy-lidded. The Faunus' breath washed across the agent's face who hitched her own.

Ruby's heart was beating double-time. Her pupils dilated and her body too warm for clothes all of a sudden. Tearing her gaze away from Sienna entirely proved difficult, but every other second it flickered down to her pursing lips and the way her tongue darted out to wet them.

In a pulse-pounding leap she crashed against those soft labium, she shot up from the chair and immediately tip-toed as the older woman straightened. She flung her arms around the raven-haired woman's neck as Sienna hugged and caressed the small of her back and buried a hand in black-red locks.

The kiss began as a breeze; slow and gentle, and left them both relaxing into each other.

Then their muscles tensed up, like a wind beginning to kick up as their kisses became more passionate, tongues dancing. Hands roamed over clothed forms, eager to cup and squeeze as passion itched their twitchy fingers and the impatient urge to undress reached the surface.

Shoes were kicked off with Ruby begrudgingly pulling away from the older woman to undo the buckles and straps of hers. The overbust corset came undone along with the skirt and Sienna immediately ran a hand over the growing bulge in the sniper's bike-shorts.

"Ahh…And here's the other scythe."

Ruby bit down on her bottom lip with a shudder. Her cock was hot and swollen behind its confine as it responded to the brunette's touch. Her stockings-clad legs were shaking.

As much as she enjoyed the attention, however, she deemed the older woman over-dressed for the situation. Gingerly, but impatiently, she ran her hand up the Faunus' legs, her other caressing the curve of Sienna's hip before both settling on her barely covered rear. She glanced up at her and the older woman smirked sultrily and knowingly.

Sienna undid her dress as nimbly as a surgeon. The front fell to the side as she droop her shoulders and allowed it to slide right off her effortlessly.

Ruby's mouth dried at the sight. A black, lacy brassier hugged large, chocolate-toned breasts and black G-string panties were snug between marvellous thighs at the apex.

She had seen the Tiger Mom's body in its bared glory many a times, but that didn't damper her excitement as her gaze wandered and appreciated every expanse of skin and curves.

"That look in your eyes is so unlike the ones I usually get. I love it," the older woman commented. "It's intense; desirous and filled with raw hunger."

"I'm different from men," Ruby shot back. Her eyelids grew heavy, her heart racing.

"You certainly are." The Tiger Faunus stepped forward and pulled the sniper close. Their lips grazed. "Your…appreciation…is different and something that's lacking in male co-workers. So show me how badly you want me – how much you desire me…"

A higher-pitched growl left the agent's throat as she busied dark lips with her own. Their body-heats engulfed each other and hands mapped out dips and nooks and curves over exposed expanses of flesh. Hair was gripped and pulled and nails raked straight rivets over skin. It became a whirlwind of heated ardour as they moved and fumbled with the last barriers between their bodies.

The décolletage blouse was nearly ripped open by the older woman's feral impatience and drooped down the sniper's shoulders. Her ebon-and-crimson bra came undone by dexterous fingers and forced the sniper to regretfully remove her hands from the mocha-skinned beauty to let it slide off before she could resume worshipping the older woman who was cupping an ample creamy-pale, breast of her own.

Sienna's lacy bra was trickier, but soon it too joined the rest of the garments on the floor. Of what was left of their clothing, only the bike-shorts and the G-string needed to be extracted and the pair's eyes met in a hazy exchange.

Wordlessly Sienna trailed her hands back down over her protector's athletic physique and over the distinct outline as she purred, feeling it up as she pulled down the shorts until the entire length sprung up at attention. Turgid and throbbing, pre-cum had begun to froth at the head.

The Faunus let out a pleased growl. "Exquisite…"

The shorts were pulled down completely as the sniper kicked them off and embraced the older woman again. Tongues danced and hands fondled whatever they could reach; Ruby settled on top and bottom, a hand on a malleable mound and its perky bud and another on the full curve of her former charge's ass.

Sienna chuckled into the lip-lock and pawed at her protector's body possessively.

Ruby's mind was focused on something else however and drowned out the part of her who wanted to scream at the notion of being in front of her favourite porn-star, naked. Those panties were in the way and her mouth watered at the prospect of removing them by any means necessary.

Without thinking, Ruby pushed her former charge onto the bed and fell to her knees in front of the older woman and noted the small outline at the front of the Tiger Mom's panties. The brunette squeezed her legs together as the crimsonette leaned over…

Sienna's heat radiated strongly from her. Ruby inched closer, the tip of her nose just barely grazing mocha skin as she lowered her head and hooked the edge of the G-strings behind her teeth, bit down, and pulled.

"Oh my…"

Her nose pressed against warm skin and over a small, ebon triangle of curls. The heady scent made her eyelids flutter and a muffled groan escaped the sniper, her body shuddering from the musky aroma. A noticeable bump brushed against her and hit her nose with a distinct scent of its own and Ruby's brain ruptured.

She took a deep whiff of the engorged, large bundle of sensitive nerves, her eyes rolling slightly back. She pulled the underwear further down and revealed meaty labia lips, flushed pinkish-red with arousal and glistening.

Letting go, Ruby impatiently yanked down the panties with her fingers while the brunette snickered.

They were kicked off and Sienna spread her legs invitingly with a warm yet salacious expression. She petted her pussy with a sultry mewl. "Time to play with this cat's cradle, little reaper… Protect and serve, isn't that right?"

She dove right in with a wanton look in her eyes. Every fantasy she had ever had about the Tiger Faunus came to mind all at once as she snuggled up against Sienna's pretty pink sex and swiftly lost herself to the musky, heady scents of excitement and body-wash of her labia.

Chocolate thighs clad in fishnet-stockings clamped down around her head in a leg-lock. The inside of her upper, inner thighs is noticeably wet. The taste of Sienna's sex was sweet and tangy and became addictive as Ruby lavished the cat's cradle with salacious affection.

Her fantasies didn't hold a candle to the real deal. Every swirl of her tongue made Sienna shiver and her leg-lock tighter. The Faunus was like putty on her tongue and melted further at every flick of the officer's tongue against her swollen clit.

Sienna let out hot breaths. Fingers digs into the sheet until her knuckles turn white. Gasps and drawn-out moans escape her as pleasure tingles up her spine. Her busty chest heaves and she quivers, begging for more.

"Ahh...Ruby…give it to me…drink this tiger milk…"

Ruby obliged. She doubles down worshipping the older woman's pussy and drink down her nectar. Sienna writhes and bucks her hips, her voice rising in octave with each gasp as she bucked and arched into the mattress with a sudden shrill mewls and her legs quivered and went tauter. The officer lapped and drank down the liquid excitement, her lower jaw wet and thirst sated for the time being.

A full minute passed before Sienna finally relaxed. She beckoned Ruby closer and stole a quick kiss as she flipped the redhead onto her back and slowly descended down her body. She nudged creamy loins apart…

"Let me warm you up a bit before we get to the main event, okay?" She breathed as she sunk to her knees, eyes trained on Ruby's cock. She took it into her hand, equally gentle and avariciously and leaned in close with slightly parted lips. She kissed its head before putting it in her mouth, inch by inch disappearing into her sucking orifice.

Ruby let out a hot, shaky breath. She felt herself grow harder inside Sienna's mouth. She watched the Faunus' head bob over her dick, eyes closed and hands stroking whatever was left outside. The brunette's tongue seemed to softly wrap itself around her shaft, adding to the pleasure that she skilfully administrated thanks to her profession.

It was difficult to admit it even to herself, but Sienna did a much better job than Emerald. While the Lady-Thief knew what she was doing, the Tiger Mom was on a different level; she knew how to make Ruby squirm in her seat – how to deliver that nerve-tickling sense of pleasure.

Her cock was pulled out of the brunette's mouth and peppered with kisses. The Faunus dragged her tongue around its head until it settled over the urethral slit with a teasing prod.

"Oh S-Sienna!" Ruby cried out with a shudder. Her lover chuckled, hot breath washing over the officer's sex.

She jerked the length slowly while continuing teasing ministrations. The tip of her flexible organ barely poked through as she pampered the sniper's mushroom-head lovingly. She lavished her affections down its underside to the seam of Ruby's balls and gave those healthy, taut globes a proper tongue-bath. She felt Ruby grow harder in her grip and twitch uncontrollably. Her cock pulsated in time with her racing heart as Sienna suckled on the balls one at a time, lips pursing around them.

Ruby threw her head back with a sharp exhale. Her tip of her dick tingled achingly as her the older woman serviced her below, repeating her ministrations thoroughly and Ruby thought she was about to blow right then and there.

Just before she did, Sienna broke off with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I believe this is warmed up enough, don't you?"

Before Ruby could reply the older woman pounced on her with a searing, hungry kiss. Their warm bodies became a tangle of limbs as hand mapped out nooks and crannies to touch. The pair rolled around on the spacious bed, but the officer knew it wasn't by sheer chance – that she was never in control – when Sienna ended up underneath her, legs spread and arms around the redhead's neck.

The Tiger Mom was a woman with thorough experience and from what Ruby had seen she was predominantly the one in charge. Being on top of her like this meant nothing and she was okay with that.

Yellow-orange eyes stared at her passionately. Sienna's voice, smoky as always, came out as if laced with lust and sent a tingle up the sniper's spine. "I want you to take me, Ruby. This is your reward after all."

Her hand travelled down to Ruby's rear and slapped it before she gripped it firmly as if to guide the officer towards her. Her other hand was used to help Ruby slip her cock inside and Ruby smirked back, eager to oblige as her cock was lined up against the brunette's honeypot like she had envisioned so many times before.

Her eyes nearly rolled back into their sockets as she penetrated the older woman. It was incredibly warm and very wet, but different from Emeralds; the Mirage Mistress was tight while Sienna, due to her career, was a velvet pocket which clamped down around the sniper's length. She sheathed all the way down to the base and stayed inside for a moment as she basked in the overwhelming sensations and the realization of living out one of her deepest fantasies, ignoring the slight sting in her right arm.

She was pulled down as eager lips crashed against hers and she began to move her hips. She knew how the Tomcat Dominatrix liked it and didn't go for the usual slow, gentle rhythm Emerald liked and instead worked up a quicker pace that had the bed rock forward. Sounds of muffled moans and escaping gasps, skin slapping against skin, and bedsprings being strained and flexing reverberated over the room. Her muscles began to go rigid as she added more force behind her wild thrusts and her body – their bodies – grew hotter by the minute. Ruby's face was flushed red and sweat began to drip from her and onto the brunette below and wordless urges her on, to be filled with dick and knock the air out of her lungs until that's all that's left.

Ruby pounded harder into the warm, sodden depths of Sienna's feminine channel. Pleasure, like heat, raised skywards into her brain, receptors singed. She buries her face between the Tiger's neck and shoulder, inhaling her scent and keeps going fervently. The older woman sporadically trembles and each time her inner walls clamp down tighter around the officer's cock, and she lets out a moan that's different from the movies Ruby has watched in the past. It sounds genuine like a real cry of sexual outlet and a wordless call to spur her on. Sharp nails rake down Ruby's back and a hand keeps gripping her right buttock as she keeps rutting into the Faunus cunt, desperate for more.

Their lips lock together again in a display of affection and they get tangled up into a hot mess of limbs akimbo and sweat. They knead and cup each other's breasts as they do and eventually they find another position when Sienna lands on her left side and raises a leg invitingly.

"There's more than one way to skin a cat, you know," she purrs out.

Ruby scoffs and smirks as she hugs Sienna's right leg which points to the ceiling. It was only natural the older woman wanted to flex her…flexibility and the sniper was not about to stop her. She sunk back inside wet heat, greatly enjoying this new position as she moved her hips at a speed that was slightly aided by her Semblance.

The bed creaked and rocked with the sniper's movements. Sienna let out litanies of moans, clutching at the sheets and her guardian's thigh alike from sweet spasms as the latter filled her up so wonderfully and hugged her leg to the point she nipped and kissed it in her throes of thrusts.

Ruby's body went rigid. Pressure settled over the root of her cock and pleasure tingled over her length from the sweet friction and it threatened to melt her bones into hot, pliant goo. Sparks of ecstasy burned her body all over as sinews coiled. She pressed herself against the Faunus' leg and clung onto it as if for dear life as she rutted faster. The pacing was hers to control, but Sienna called the shots and seemed thoroughly pleased.

Their naked bodies, damp with sweat staining the tangled sheets, moved in unison. Ruby thrusted faster, desperate for more of that wonderful friction and to feel the inside of Sienna's body as it enveloped her length like wet silk. She watched her throw her head back and play with her breast, listened to the Faunus' shaky voice. She was different from how she behaved in her videos and the decorated agent couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Ruby let out a groan and inhaled her lover's scent as she nuzzled against bronze skin. This was the best.

She shifted, to the Tiger's surprise and disapproval when the prick slid out of her, and settled behind the brunette to spoon her despite her shorter height. Ruby's smaller breasts pokes against Sienna's striped, athletic back. She slid back inside wet heat, a sigh of content breathing over her lover's striped neck. She moved and rolled her hips for a slower, but more thorough pace while she played with Sienna's clit from behind.

Sienna purrs, the sound bordering on a shrill growl, and backs up against her. Their hips roll and gyrate; bodies pressed up against one another and bask in steaming heat. Nuzzling her face in the crook of the brunette's neck, she breathes in more of her lover's scents; sweat mingled with a fruity aroma. It's like she's melting into her with a hazy, carnal tenderness. She gives her clit a pause and reaches up to Sienna's breasts, alternating between palming full malleable curves and playing with small buds that stand at attention against her slightly calloused fingers. Her wild heartbeat drums against Sienna's back, she's sure of it, just as she can feel the Faunus' racing heart against her hand.

The bedsprings flex further as Ruby ruts into Sienna, the Faunus' cunt seemingly swallowing her turgid cock. In this position she feels tighter and adds to the velvety sensation that hugs around the officer's throbbing cock and she thrusts faster, straining the springs and counting the number of times her lover quivers. She moves her fingers with dexterity over Sienna's engorged bundle of nerves; drawing small circles around it, brush over it, or pressing down on it, as the Faunus writhes and bucks into her. The Tiger Mom had standards and Ruby had every intention to meet and exceed them!

The junction between them is wet. As enjoyable as this closeness is – to hold the brunette so tightly against her – it wasn't enough. She could only move so much while lying on her side.

"Hey, Sienna?" she whispers huskily into the brunette's tiger-ear. It flicks up. "I'm going to change position. Stick with me for a bit."

The older woman lets out a breathy chuckle in response, but says nothing. Ruby began to move, still joined with Sienna, and positions herself enough so that the brunette gets what she's going for. Sienna finds herself on her hands and knees and glances over her shoulder with a smirk as the officer properly positions herself behind her.

Ruby marvels at the sight of Sienna's striped-tattooed body in her favourite position. A fire lit up in her gut and her cock swells up inside.

She pumps slowly, hands on her lover's perfect ass. The more she moves, the faster she gets; she hilts herself balls-deep, adds more strength behind her thrusts, and pounds Sienna with primal fervour!

The bed creaks louder as bedsprings are strained and on the verge of giving up. Skin slaps against skin and Sienna grunts and mewls out loud, and occasionally chuckles with satisfaction.

"Oh that's it, you horny human!" She cries out with glee. "Take me! Breed me with your human seed! Feel honoured that you get to do it with a Faunus of my calibre!"

Ruby smiles back at her. Her hands admire the mocha-skinned body, spreading those cheeks to reveal a hidden star and plays with it with her thumb. Tease it. Prod it. Admire it as she pounds Sienna faster, rougher. Her Semblance kicks in like a slow burn, intensifying over the course of a minute. She feels the pressure building up and threatening to burst and the agonizingly sweet and unbearable tingling over her hard dick as it pummels through soft inner walls. Her muscles are starting to burn achingly and sweat rolls down her body even more.

She fucked her like there was no tomorrow. She grunted and cooed as Sienna mewled and purred and growled.

This was better than any fantasies Ruby had ever harboured and she had imagined herself in the middle of a loving embrace between her girlfriend, her CQC-trainer and Sergeant, her Deputy-Chief Commissar, and…well, the list went on.

Her Semblance intensified. The brunette was howling joyfully beneath her. Rose petals began to appear, fluttering in and out of existence. Ruby's balls slapped against Sienna's clit, the rapid impacts adding to their mind-numbing pleasure that rakes over them.

Finally, the pressure does burst. Ruby feels Sienna clamping down abnormally tightly around her, quivering as she rides out her own orgasm over the officer's pulsating cock as it blows up inside now snug confines, depositing tepid ropes of seed.

For a moment, they only bask in the glow, barely moving.

"For a human, you're probably the best one I've had," the brunette then manages to say with a throaty chuckle. "You're incredible."

Ruby glanced down at her, watched that mocha body wiggle and heave as Sienna fell face-first into her pillow. She let her eyes have their fill. The ecstasy didn't wane; it came roaring back, her cock growing harder and larger inside of the Faunus. She pulled out, still kneading the brunette's buttocks with a clouded mind.

"Ruby…? What are you—Oh!"

She prodded against Sienna's experienced sphincter. Her dick wet, she managed to slowly pry the orifice open, each poke and prod making the Faunus sharply exhale.

She pushed back against Ruby and the mushroom-head poked through with ease.

A flash shot through their bodies like an electrical shock. Ruby pushed forward and Sienna bucked into her, driving the sniper deeper. There was no crushing pressure – again, thanks to Sienna's career – only softness as the officer slid all the way inside, slowly at first, but impatience got the better of her. She picked up her pace, her Semblance kicked in at full gear as Ruby's desperation to make the most of this chance and to get off at least one more time had her vigorously pound Sienna's ass. Her balls kept slapping hard against the brunette who screamed into her pillow as she squirted over the messy sheets.

Ruby pushed down on Sienna's upper back, her hips a blur as the Tiger's anus seemingly swallowed her turgid cock. The room rocked and spun around them with rose petals. Passion was steamrolled by mindless lust.

The knot of pressure at the base of her cock simultaneously dissolved and burst into flames as Ruby came once more.

She buries herself as deep as she can, her shaft pulsating as it shoots thick, frothy cum inside. Four ropes, each making them both tremble, before Ruby pulls out and immediately grabs her dick and pumps it furiously. Ecstasy still doesn't wane as she does; three more ropes lands over Sienna's striped rear before Ruby finally finds herself utterly spent.

The older woman purrs, eyelids fluttering. She glances back over her shoulder and rolls her hips – twerking, almost – and wiggles as Ruby uses her cock while it's still erect to smear her creamy load over Sienna's rear.

Exhausted and proud of her handiwork, Ruby slumps down next to the equally tired woman.

x.x.x.x

It was rare to have a slow day at the office, but it happened when you'd least want it as Ruby could attest. Having been stuck doing paperwork for the last few hours since morning, she reclined into her chair with a weary sigh and rubbed her eyes. Just like when she got together with Emerald a little while back, arriving at work felt so ordinary and boring by comparison. The fiery throes of passion and debauchery had drained her – worth it! – But she wouldn't even get to go outside!

At least Sienna had added her number on Ruby's Scroll with the promise of helping persuade Emerald to join them. The Tiger Faunus didn't work 24/7 after all and could always visit Vale again.

A faint ´thud´ got her attention as a can of energy drink was placed within reach by a certain blonde brawler, who looked down at her rather impassively.

"Here. Something to get you going."

"Aw, thanks sis—"

Ruby was grabbed by the collar and hoisted up from her chair to her sister's eye-level; lilac twin pools narrowed and the Enforcer's brow furrowed.

"I want details. Now."

"Uh…I got to hang around with her for her gravure photoshoots—"

"I hate you so much right now."

"-And was invited to her private lounge here in Vale to make sure no-one got inside."

Yang's eyes narrowed and her brow furrowed. "You lucky little…"

"Oh and we even got some Vacuo take out together on occasion. I mostly just followed her around and you have likely already read about the rest in the papers."

"Is that all you two did?"

Ruby scoffed. "Why, did you and your charge do something?"

"I think I can answer that," someone said from the doorway and the sisters turned, their squabble forgotten as a dark-haired Faunus stepped inside, clad in her usual sleeveless cat-suit, thigh-high black boots, and white tailcoat. Her long, ashen-black hair was donned up in a braided bun with the rest flowing in a ponytail.

"Blake!"

"Babe!" Yang flew straight into the Faunus' arms and tightly embraced the girl. "Oh it's so good to see you!"

Blake softly laughed and reciprocated the hug. "I've missed you too, Yang."

"How did the mission in Menagerie go?" Ruby asked as she offered a gentler hug.

The brunette's expression softened as she laid eyes on her former team-leader. "It went well. We got the job down quickly and efficiently."

"And you enjoyed your time there, I noticed," Yang added, winking and nudging her girlfriend with her elbow.

"Heh. You can say that."

A short series of sharp knocks against the doorway got their attention. "Pardon—"

"Ciel! You're back!" Ruby exclaimed. "Are you feeling better?"

The girl cleared her throat. "I do, thank you. Pardon the interruption, but Lieutenant Calavera wants to see you, Chief Scatter." Her eyes drifted ever so slightly and she saluted. "Welcome back Captain Wildfire, Special Agent Shadowcat."

Silver eyes lit up as the sniper squealed. "She is?! Have I got a new assignment?! A crime to solve?! Is it about the crocodile-Faunus who fled from the scene at the Schnee mansion?!"

Ciel shook her head. "Negative. You're to report to the Lieutenant about the new cadet who's joining our ranks."

Ruby, Yang, and Blake briefly exchanged looks. "A new cadet, huh?"

"Yes," the agent replied. "Let me remind you that as your partner we both have responsibility to shape cadets into R.I.P's standards, especially as we represent the Detective Commissars. Inspector Ardent will need to hear this as well."

Yang crossed her arms. "The cadet already knows which division they want to join? Interesting."

"This is exciting! I remember my year as a cadet! Oh, it was so much fun!" She squealed. "Alright, let's not keep the Lieutenant waiting!"

Having brought agent Ardent along the way and Yang and Blake following out of interest, the Faunus tapped the blonde's shoulder.

"So I noticed you and Neon had fun."

The Enforcer sheepishly grinned. "Not gonna lie; once the mission was over and I got past her overly bubbly, annoying—"

"Oh please, as soon as you saw her Faunus trait you lost it, didn't you?"

"…Yeah. And you're cruel for having me sent to the cold Atlas and being teased for an extended period of time."

"She's my friend and was in dire need of help. You're the best officer for the job," Blake replied and smiled. "Besides, she was curious."

"So she told me. Neon is a freak, you know? I mean, the snowstorm had flights cancelled so I stayed a bit longer, but each day it was always something new! I loved it!" She exclaimed, but her expression toned down as she shot her girlfriend an incredulous look. "Is this to get me to do you a favour? I told you, Ruby is so into dark-complexion as she is into cookies."

The Faunus smirked a tiny bit and adjusted her bust. "I'll win her over someday. I'm quite curious too."

Yang guffawed, her roaring laughter earning the attention of the entire floor as they passed by. Waving it off and excused herself, she glanced back. "You're such a freak for wanting two sisters at once."

"Says you who gets weak knees at the sight of Faunus," the brunette replied and chuckled. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too."

They ceased mid-step for a long, tender kiss before re-joining the others. They arrived at the Lieutenant's office—

"Ah, good, you're here. And you too, Xiao-Long, Belladonna. Welcome back." The Lieutenant beckoned them as the cadet spun around to greet them, her appearance unmistaken. "This is our newest cadet. I'm sure you three already know—"

"Weiss?" the sisters and Blake uttered in unison.

Clad in a high-collared, predominantly white military dress-uniform, with light-blue trims and white gloves, the supposed Schnee heiress smiled at the pair and saluted them confidently. Her footwear consisted of white, knee-high, heeled combat boots. A hat with a dark-blue visor adorned her head and her braided, long ponytail was still there by the side.

"Weiss Schnee, reporting for duty," she replied with a smile. "It's good to see you three again."

Yang laughed out loud. "Hahaha! Well I'll be damned; the Ice Queen has graced us with her presence!"

"It's good to see you too, Weiss," Blake said, smiling.

"Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby exclaimed. "Uh, wait! What about the company? I thought you—"

"Mom will run it for the time being, but once she's ready to hand it over it will be to a board of directors with her as head consultant. We had a long discussion about this and…" Weiss' voice trailed off. "My legacy as a Schnee will be by R.I.P, not as a head of a company. Besides, my grandfather would've wanted her to run it from the start."

"I see. Well, it's good to have you with us, Weiss!" The sniper jumped into the fencer and wrapped her arms around her tightly. "You're going to love it here!"

"…Yeah…" She hugged her former team-leader back as much as she could, face buried in her shoulder. "I definitely will."
