I only own my OCs.

The next morning when Kali went to wake Blake and Sorrell for breakfast, she was greeted by an absolutely adorable sight. At some point during the night Sorrell had cuddled closer to Blake, and Blake had hugged him back. The two cuddling contentedly.

"I hate to be the one to break this cuddle session up, but it's breakfast time."

She cooed, shaking them both until they stirred into wakefulness. Sorrell waking first as Kali ushered him off to get ready for the day, making sure Blake was awake before going to find something for their newest houseguest to wear. Something that wasn't hard considering it wasn't Sorrell's first time in their home, and he had an entire wardrobe for when he was with the Belladonnas.

Within the hour, Sorrell, Blake, and Sun had all made it down to breakfast without too much of an issue. The only real problem being that Sorrell kept taking things from Sun, who found it both amusing and annoying in an odd way. As if he had a little brother pestering him. Blake obviously saw the interaction between the two as well, cat ears swiveling as she watched Sorrell bug Sun. More often than not choosing to swat at the monkey faunus' tail.

"Are you bored or just naturally this energetic?"

Sun asked, lifting Sorrell into the air with his tail after breakfast. Kali laughed when Sorrell shrugged.

"I dunno. Both I guess. Mommy used to take me on her morning runs with her so I'd sit still."

Sun thought about it and glanced at Kali before speaking.

"Ever tried parkour?"

He asked, setting Sorrell down. Sorrell shook his head. He and his mother normally just took a few laps around the massive courtyard at the main White Fang base. Sun grinned and whispered what it was into Sorrell's ear, making the boy rather excited and he started to bounce around eagerly.

"Then it's settled. I guess we're teaching you the basics of my natural talent!"

Sun said excitedly, which made Blake realize.

"Sorrell, do you have any combat training, or was it just endurance?"

Sorrell thought about it.

"Mommy taught me how to use throwing knives in case of an emergency...and how to use the gun under her seat if we were ever attacked and forced to fight. That's all. And the throwing knives never really felt….right."

He murmured. Blake hummed.

"How about this then. Sun can teach your parkour, and maybe I'll help you figure out what weapon is right for you. And try and teach you how to use it. Just in case."

Sorrell grinned and Kali couldn't help but smile, Ghira having had to leave early to attend to business around Menagerie.

"I think it'd be a good idea. Just be careful will you? And if you see anyone in the White Fang you come back home. Adam may have found out about him and may be trying to find and kill him. If only to stop the boy from usurping power from him."

Blake and Sun nodded before Sun set out with Sorrell. Impressed with just how fast and agile his young prodigee actually was.

Sorrell simply enjoying the chance to run around and explore, even if it was with Sun right behind him.

"Mr. Wukong?"

Sorrell asked when they sat down for a break, more for Sun's benefit than for the energetic cub.

"Just call me Sun, alright?"

Sun asked, teasing Sorrell slightly. Sorrell smiled.

"You like Ms. Blake, don't you."

Sorrell asked, laughing a bit when Sun managed to choke on his own spit and almost fall off the back of the building they were sitting on.

"Gah! How'd you figure it out, because I'm pretty sure even Blake doesn't know."

He asked after he quickly figured out how to breathe properly again. Sorrell shrugged.

"I could kinda tell. Mommy said I always knew how people felt because I was really observant."

Sun nodded a bit before looking up slightly.

"Well she was right about you being observant. And yeah, I like her, but don't really know how to tell her."

Sorrell shrugged.

"I dunno, but-"

The boy cut himself short as his faunus ears twitched. Rather unceremoniously, the boy jumped to his feet and made a run for it. Sprinting back towards the Belladonna house with Sun on his tail. The monkey didn't want to question why the boy had jumped up, but the kid wasted no time in hightailing it back to the house and sliding into the open front door as Kali stepped out, Sun right behind.

"What happened?"

Kali asked, quickly shutting the door after Sun and Sorrell stumbled in.

"Ask him."

Sun said, panting exhaustedly seeing that the kid had doubled back several times.

"I heard someone from the White Fang."

Kali was impressed with Sorrell's hearing, but she wasn't surprised. Even Sienna had displayed incredible senses of smell and hearing.

"Well it's good that you made your way back here. Both of you. Blake is upstairs if you'd like to get a start on your weapon design. It may be too dangerous for you to go outside right now."

Sorrell nodded and gave Kali a tight hug, dashing up the stairs to almost tackle Blake in a tight bear hug.

"Hey you."

Blake said, a smile on her face as she stroked his hair. Sorrell grinned against her as Blake lead him into a spare room where she'd laid out basically every weapon she'd been able to find in the house from throwing knives to a few spears.

"Woah."

He mumbled. His mother had walked around the weapon stores back at home and told him how a few of them worked with the promise of teaching him how to use some of them later, though that later would never come.

Blake smiled a bit as he walked around, mildly surprised when the boy seemed to gravitate more to close combat weapons. She watched as eventually the boy seemed to gravitate towards a weapon Blake had only really read about called, rather fittingly, the Tiger Claw. The boy eventually walking over to a bunch of chakrams that would fit evenly around his arms. When he finally walked over to the more ranged weapons, the staves and firearms.

The only one she figured he really liked was a AK-47. She wasn't quite sure how they were going to combine chakrams, a pair of Tiger Claws, and an AK-47 into a single cohesive weapon, but she was willing to try. Though perhaps only after she saw how good the boy actually was with a gun.

"You like those three?"

Sorrell was silent for a single moment longer before walking over to select an all too familiar weapon. A scythe. Blake had been rather surprised to see the fairly large weapon in one of the many storage closets in the house, but had decided to offer it up as well. Even though it brought to mind memories of a certain silver eyed girl.

"Kinda an odd mix, but I guess you'll be prepared."

Blake murmured, letting Sorrell sit the weapons he'd selected on the bed in the room while she cleaned up the others. When she came back, she was greeted by Sorrell, looking down at the Tiger Claw with quiet tears in his eyes.

"Thinking about your Mom?"

Blake asked, moving the weapon out of his lap and pulling him into hers. Gently resting her head atop his and purring in the back of her throat. An attempt to calm the boy down.

Sorrell nodded, eyes watering slightly.

"Mommy fought with these, but they had Dust in the tips. Can we do that?"

He asked, remembering his mother's preferred weapon, Dark Tiger. Blake smiled a bit, knowing he just wanted to keep as much of his mother's memory alive as possible.

"I'm sure we could find a way to do that."

She offered, holding him close as he cried and allowing herself to cry with him. Crying for all the friends she'd lost, her guilt over what'd happened to Yang, and her guilt at running away, even after she promised them that she wouldn't.

While she watched Sorrell cry himself to sleep in her arms however, she made herself a single promise.

Adam Taurus will PAY for all the people he hurt. If nothing else, so that Sorrell can sleep at night knowing that his Mother was avenged.

A/N

Sorrell will be getting his semblance soon! What do you all think it is? Also, who is Sorrell's Dad? He got a bit of a reference, though very vague, when Sorrell picked the weapons to combine to make his own! Leave reviews!
