So today I hesitated a bit, and inspired myself from a few different stories : first of all, the Guardian AU (I don't know who actually started it, but you can find a lot of fanart of it just by googling the name) then some mangas like Blue Exorcist or Servamp. Anyway, I won't keep you any longer.

For now, there was one and only thing roaming in Blake's mind: escape. And not far behind was 'survive'. Which, considering her present state, was almost vain… Barely holding up, a hand pressed against the bloodied wound on her waist, she made a desperate move. Clenching her teeth to fight against the pain, she morphed into her camouflage form and painfully landed on all four. Now that she was a cat she couldn't prevent the blood from bolting out of her wounds, but she was faster… And she could venture in the human territories.

It was a desperate move, but perhaps if she reached the human city, Adam would abandon the pursuit. Perhaps she could survive a little while in there, cross the city and morph back in another territory. That made a lot of perhaps for her life to depend on, but for now it was her best hope.

Just as planned, Adam significantly slowed down when she approached the fence of a square. He knew the rules… None of them could go into the human territories without being morphed. And if a cat could easily slip in-between the steel and glass buildings, a bull would have much more trouble staying out of trouble. Smiling, she used her agility to get past the fence, and began slowing down once she was through. What she hadn't planned was that the blood loss would make little black spot dance before her eyes while she reached the dirt path… Nor that she would black out in the middle of it.

-_-_- Timeskip! -_-_-

When she opened her eyes again, she was certain that she would have passed out. That she would wake up in whatever place was supposed to house the dead… But a sharp pain in her side informed her that she was still alive. Painfully alive. Unable to contain her pain anymore, she groaned… And through the white blur of her senses, she was surprised to hear herself weakly meowing. That's when everything came back to her: the pursuit, the wrath in Adam's eyes, her decision to morph and enter an unknown territory… She needed to get up and leave, fast. Before a human could find her.

When she felt a soft blanket under her paws, she knew it was too late. She had been picked up by a human, and if she related to the bandages on her side, healed. At least she seemed to have been rescued by someone caring… But that didn't help with the fact that she was now probably trapped in a house. As her senses came back to her, she finally saw the human that had probably rescued her: it was a tall, blonde woman that was currently staring at her careful attempts to get up.

"Hey, hey careful. Don't move too much, you'll hurt yourself."

Sighing, Blake had to admit that this human was right, and forced herself to lay down, which only brought a surprised smile to the human's face.

"Hey, it's almost like you understand what I say!"

She now had a furious urge to morph and show her that indeed, she was understanding. In spite, she shot a desperate glare at her and meowed, knowing that it was the most she could do in such state.

"Got a little temper, I see… Well in case you truly understand, my name's Yang. I gotta go working, so behave yourself okay? I'll be back in a flash." She added with a smile, delicately petting what she thought to be cat ears before getting up and leaving.

For once, Blake didn't know how to feel. On one side, she felt humiliated, treated like a mere street cat… On the other side, she actually was just a street cat, and the care visible in her savior eye's was flattering. Not finding an answer, she ended up falling back to sleep on the soft blanket that had been placed under her.

-_-_- Timeskip! -_-_-

How long has it been, since she had been rescued? As days flew by, she started to forget… And she understood why the human's territories were dangerous. They weren't all that physically dangerous, but they were a serious threat to her humanity. She surprised herself acting and thinking like a cat more and more often as she kept her morph, feeling the urge to leave this place fading away even though her wound was healing properly, and she would have had no trouble leaving definitely.

But she couldn't bring herself to leave, and deep inside herself she knew it has everything to do with Yang. She was careful, loving, and seemed to really enjoy her company would that be when Blake jumped on her desk to stare at her work curiously or when she welcomed her home with a slight meowing… And truth be told, Blake had bonded with the energic blonde too. Who was she kidding? She had probably fell in love with her by now, seeing how she didn't want to leave and how most of her days were spent wondering when the blondie would come home…

That's it. She had thought it, admitted it. She was falling for her savior. And it hurt like hell to know that she was completely stupid to allow herself such feelings. She was just a cat to her… Revealing her Faunus nature would be stupid, against the laws and would probably shock her beyond words. Though when Yang came back from work this evening, she knew she couldn't hold it in any longer. She knew that she had to try, or she would regret it all of her life. So she sat in the middle of the bedroom, where her savior was busying herself on her desk, and meowed until she got her attention.

"Hey, what's happening to you today?" the blondie asked, no longer ashamed to speak to her cat as she would to a human. "You seem so serious. Anything you want to confess?" she joked with a small laugh.

Blake took a deep breath and a second to engrave in her memories the caring look that Yang posed on her. Before it had to change forever. Then she morphed back into human form, her waist still sensitive enough to draw a frown, and waited for the reaction. Which didn't take long to happen.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" came Yang's shrieking, shocked voice. And that was completely understandable, since where her cat had once stood was now a full-grown woman with cat ears and tail.

"Please don't yell, I can explain everything..." Blake winced, having expected the reaction but not the tear in her heart that had resulted from it.

"What the fuck?" Yang repeated in a much more hushed tone, still shocked.

"First… I'm sorry that I kept this from you all along… I was scared of how you would react.."

"Okay, that's it. I've gone insane. I should have listened to Ruby and got out more." Yang then said, completely ignoring Blake's words and talking about her own lack of sanity with a dead-serious face.

"You're not insane" Blake's attempt was cut short by Yang's ironic reply

"Oh yeah of course, I'm sitting here alone in my apartment, talking to my cat that just became a human being under my eyes. Perfectly sane!"

"Actually, I'm not human. I'm a Faunus. I'm not sure you've heard of us… We're mostly avoiding humans, because we're different." Blake attempted again, this time with much more success.

"Everyone has heard the stories of metamorphose… But they're stories! They're not supposed to be true…"

And with that first doubt, Blake saw an opportunity to explain everything, which she did to an astounded – but surprisingly open minded – Yang.

A few hours later, Blake was out of breath but not in an asylum or an experiment lab, which was a good sign.

"So that Adam guy tried to kill you because you rejected his advances, and you ended up passing out on the path I found you"

"Yeah, that's about it…" Blake didn't know what to say more.

"I appreciate that you wanted to be honest with me, truly, but I have to admit that's a lot to take in. Especially knowing that you've slept on my covers…" the blondie winked, making Blake blush fiercer than ever. "But once I'll be done with processing all of that life-changing information, what are we going to do?"

That was a good question, to which Blake didn't have an answer.

"Honestly, I don't know. I'll probably never be safe back in the wild, but I can't keep imposing myself on you…"

"Who said you were imposing? When I decided to rescue and adopt you, I accepted responsibilities. And even if at the time I didn't know you were a… how do you say it? Faunus? Well even if I didn't know you were a Faunus, I knew you were a living being with feelings."

Blake gave her a puzzled look, not knowing what the point of such demonstration was.

"I'm trying to say that you can stay as long as you want." Yang shrugged.

Hardly believing her rather powerful ears, Blake struggled to find the words that would express how thankful she was. Ranking her mind and still finding nothing, she gave up words and hugged Yang tightly.

Done! Wrote a lot, and finally wrote something light and fluffy!

Anyways, hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you tomorrow!
