*(A/N): Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to upload, I'm in school again and I'm having a lot of family issues right now. Anyway, I think I'm going to alternate updates between this story and TMoLC. So that's my quick update.

I'll admit I had a bit of writers block before this, so if it seems odd then that's why. Regardless, I hope you enjoy!*

Let Me Know You (Bumble Bee: Part 2)

~Blake~

Blake never liked lying, no matter the circumstances. Growing up on the streets was hard on her. Yeah, she had Okami who eventually got a job, but before that it was just the two of them begging for food and picking pockets for money… Well, mostly Okami did.

When Okami met back up with Blake after their escape, she wouldn't let Blake leave the abandoned building. She practically kept Blake locked up in that place while day after day Okami would come 'home' looking like crap and a small sack of food. Blake knew that Okami cared for her and just didn't want her to me treated like she was, but being locked away in the small building was too suffocating. It wasn't until eight months of this until Okami came up with the idea of hiding her ears. This plan not only gave Blake some 'freedom', but it also was useful if Okami got in trouble with the Peacekeepers.

What are the Peacekeepers? Well, many years ago after the Faunus War, the four kings of the kingdoms came together to discuss what to do with the faunus people. The kingdom of Atlas originally wished to keep faunus as slaves once again and leave them to the mercy of their masters, the others refused and war erupted. Atlas was large and powerful meaning the others wouldn't stand a chance, therefore a truce was made. One kingdom is to rule over the others for a set time creating laws during that time and when one king dies the others elect a new one with Atlas being nominated automatically every fourth election. The Peacekeepers are to enforce the laws of the high king throughout the world while the police only control their own kingdom. Seeing as the current high king is Roman Torchwick of Atlas, you can only imagine the discrimination. Peacekeepers had a tendency to turn a blind eye to faunus in need, however, if there were any trouble they would only arrest any faunus at the scene unless another human stands up for them other wise. Just like the night Blake's parents died…

Blake's family moved to the human residence in Atlas three miles from the ghetto to open their own shop. The humans of the area hated them and acused her parent of being members of the White Fang (the faunus rebellion towards Roman's rule) and any humans who defended them were acussed of being Hunters/Huntresses (the human rebellion towards Roman's rule).Her parents were constantly being threatened and eventually, humans came to burn down their house. Blake went out to the store to get some groceries that night and when she came back she saw a mob of humans burning down her house while the Peacekeepers were keeping any faunus from interfering. That was one good thing about Blake wearing a bow…she was safe from the people who want her dead.

Blake can't stand it when people lie to her and she can tell when they are, especially when it's Okami since she will twitch somewhere. Lying to people though always made Blake feel guilty, but for a faunus caught impersonating a human could be thrown in jail at the very least. If a human finds out a faunus is impersonating a human no thing happens…but a faunus could get a death sentence… The only thing Blake could do to protect herself was lie.

As a whole Blake doesn't hate humans, only the Peacekeepers and those who were cruel to the faunus. That's why Blake left Yang back in the dinner.

Blake quickly approached the group of humans surrounding a teenage girl, and judging by the long brown rabbit ears on top of her head, Blake knew she was a faunus. The men were grabbing and pulling on the poor girl's ears causing her to physically show she was distressed. Blake was a block away from the dinner but she looked back to see Okami and Yang talking to each other.

"She can't stop me this time."

"Hey!" Blake yelled now much closer to the men. "Leave her alone! It isn't right to treat her this way!"

The men stopped messing with the girl and turned towards Blake. "And why not?" One man said. "It's not like this rabbit is a person."

Blake clenched her fists and glared at all of them. "Yes, SHE is! All because she doesn't look like you doesn't mean she isn't a person! She thinks and feels like the rest of us!"

"Just leave before I lose my temper, Huntress." Said the same man.

That was the last straw.

Blake walked past all of them and grabbed the girl's wrist. "Come on, let's get out of here."

Blake turned to walk back towards the dinner when the men stepped in front to block her path. "You ain't going anywhere, Huntress!"

With that, one of the men pushed the two girls back against the wall. Blake counted six men and couldn't come up with a plan on how to get rid of them. Two men grabbed the rabbit faunus' arms keeping her in place while a third started landing blows on her. Blake started to move towards the men to help her, but two more men held her down as well and another raised his arm ready to strike as he smiled and spoke.

"It's such a shame to ruin a pretty face like yours. Who knows, maybe I can put you to good use later… But I gave you a warning."

His arm wound back about to strike her and Blake shut her eyes. She saw a shadow fall on her eyelids and braced for impact, she heard the impact of skin hitting skin…but she didn't feel anything.

She opened her eyes to see a person in front of her wearing a blue pullover jacket and a leather vest. On top of the person's head was two wolf ears and poking out of the bottom of the jacket was a wolf tail.

"Why does she always save me? It's starting to get annoying."

Okami got in front of Blake in time and held the man's fist in her hand an inch from her face squeezing it hard causing the man to yelp in pain before pushing him to the ground.

"And that is yours." Okami said in a deadly serious tone.

"You!" The man said while glaring at her. "You'll pay for that you stupid mutt!"

Okami growled and shouted in pure rage. "I'M A WOLF, DAMIT! I'M NOT A DOG! WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET THAT?!"

The man jumped up and charged at Okami. She ducked avoiding a swing and made an upper cut connecting with the bottom of his chin causing him to fall back being KO'd.

"Boss!" Another man yelled causing Okami to turn towards him. "Nobody does that to our boss and gets away with it!"

The two men holding Blake let her go and charged at Okami with knifes. "Get that mutt!"

Okami clenched her right fist and clocked one man in the face knocking him to the ground. "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY?!"

The other man tried to sneak behind Okami but she quickly turned and quickly round house kicked him in the crotch.

Okami seemed to be doing well until the last three got on her without warning. Again, two men held her arms while the third landed blows but they stopped when they heard a whistle.

Everyone but Okami turned toward the sound to see Yang put one hand on her hip and brush the other through her hair and speak with a seductive smile. "Don't you boys know it's not nice to hurt a pretty girl's friend?"

The men hung their mouths open in awe and were completely distracted. Okami took advantage of the two men holding her arms and swung her legs up and kicked the third man in the chest. Yang ran up and kneed another guy in the stomach.

There was a loud siren and the last guy turned and ran with a cop car closing in on him. Blake and Yang laughed at the man's misfortune but stopped when they heard Okami's voice arguing with a much deeper one. They both turned around to see three Peacekeepers.

One was walking toward the rabbit faunus. The second one had Okami with her hands cuffed behind her back on the ground on her side, Okami said something about this being a mistake but the Peacekeeper kicked her in the chest to shut her up only to have her gasp for air. The last Peacekeeper had his gun out and just laughed at Okami's suffering.

"Fucken bastards! Where did they even come from?!"

Blake ran up to the Peacekeeper that kicked Okami and practically yelled in his face. "What are you doing?! Those two girls saved us!"

The Peacekeepers all stopped and looked at each other before one turned back to her. "Are you sure? You're fine if we release these animals?"

Blake nodded and said 'yes'. The Peacekeepers hesitated for a moment before two of them began to walk away, the third one tossed a small key to Blake.

"You take them off; I don't want to touch that thin anymore than I have to." He said.

Blake did as such and handed the cuffs back before he walked away as well. Blake quickly knelt down next to Okami. "Okami, are you okay?"

"Nope…feel like crap…" Okami said as she rolled over on her back. She then looked at Yang. "Was I hearing things or did I hear you call me your 'friend'?"

Yang rolled her eyes before she spoke. "I was talking about Blake."

Okami slightly smiled as she shrugged her shoulders. "Whatever, our scores are tied now."

Yang offered Okami a hand. "I guess you deserve that much."

Okami took her hand and got up. Okami then looked at the rabbit faunus and tilted her head. "Aren't you in my sketch class?"

The girl looked at her and nodded.

"Velvet, right?"

The girl nodded once again.

"You don't talk much, do you?"

Velvet looked down and sadly nodded.

"Did they do anything else to you besides hitting?"

Velvet shook her head no.

"Are you okay?"

She shook her head no.

"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

Velvet nodded.

"Okay." Okami waited for the girl to get back on her feet and sighed when a minuet passed and Velvet hadn't moved. "Can you move anything but your head?"

She once again shook her head no.

Okami walked over to her and picked Velvet up bridal style and started to walk towards the nearest hospital that allowed faunus besides Beacon. Before she turned the corner, Okami told Blake and Yang to go back to Beacon.

…

They were almost back at the school and it had been quiet the whole way back. Things were getting awkward and Blake decided to break the silence.

"I'm sorry I ran off like that… I just hate when large groups of people pick on a faunus like that, or at all really." Blake said while staring at her feet.

Yang put her hand on Blake's shoulder causing Blake to look at her. "It's cool, I totally understand… But for that little fight back there, I think you owe me an answer to a question."

Blake giggled. "What's the question?"

Yang smiled. "Why are you so into parkor?"

Blake looked at Yang with slight disbelief. "You remember that?"

"What's the answer?" Yang asked in a jokingly manner.

"Okami taught me how." Blake said looking out into the street. "Growing up on the streets isn't really a walk in the park. You come across some bad people and you need to get the hell out of there. I never had to thanks to Okami learning how to fight, but I would still practice and it was fun. It's really the only sport I'm good at."

Blake looked back at Yang to see her nod in understanding and smiled.

"Now you can ask any questions about me!" Yang said as she cupped her hands behind her head.

Blake thought for a moment before she spoke. "I only have two."

"Shoot 'em." Yang said with a nod.

"How are you related to Ruby?" Blake asked. "And how did you get into boxing?"

Yang's expression turned dark for a moment and Blake thought she went too far, but Yang quickly came back to her normal self and answered. "They are both connected actually."

"How so?" Blake asked now intrigued.

Yang hesitated for a moment and sighed before she answered. "When I was younger, I got caught up in an incident that ended with me being rescued by the police. I was never really the same after that and it drove my parents crazy, my father thought he could 'cure' me but all he did was put me in the hospital. My father was arrested leaving me with my mother but the long stay at the hospital was too expensive and half way through my recovery she abandoned me, a week later police told me she committed suicide… My second to last week at the hospital I hear that someone wanted to adopt me and I got to meet him and Ruby the day I was released… When I was fully recovered I was hyperactive and angry at what my parents did to me. My adoptive father was a track and boxing coach; Ruby picked up track and I learned boxing, it helped with my anger and it still does."

They were three blocks from the school now, but Blake wanted to know more. "What was the 'incident'?"

"A kidnapping…"

"Did they do anything to you?"

Yang didn't meet her eyes. "…No…"

"…"

They were able to see the gates to the school, but Blake wasn't done. "What did your father do?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Yang said as she picked up the pace.

"But Yang-"

"I just remembered something I have to do, I'll see you later." Yang said practically running. Then she suddenly stopped and spoke before running back to the human dorms. "By the way, Ozpin said we might have a parkor course by our senior year!"

Blake stood under the gate thinking to herself. She had a feeling that Yang lied to her at one point and guessing from her reaction it was about her kidnappers. Blake was so deep in thought that she didn't even hear the last thing Yang said until after she was long gone.

"…Parkor?..."

Blake's scroll went off and saw that Okami sent a message that she was going to stay the night at the hospital with Velvet and sneak out (again) tomorrow.

Blake sighed and began to walk back to her dorm where she spent the night alone.

*(A/N): And there you have the truth, a fight, and a new mystery… I wonder what Yang is hiding… (:',

The next chapter will be White Rose, however, I haven't decided whether to make it a long chapter with two perspectives or just make two chapters and one perspective each, so I'll let you decide! Please PM me or leave your vote in the reviews.
