(General POV)

"Mr. Winchester, in most circumstances you would be removed from my school," Ozpin said.

"I am aware sir," Cardin replied.

"Now in every circumstance I would say that their is never a good reason for racism, but seeing as how it's not just because you feel like abusing Faunus, I may have a solution to this problem," Ozpin said, looking at Cardins now updated transcript.

"I will not say that you were justified in your actions, and you will apologize and help miss Scarlatina every day," Ozpin told Cardin.

"I can do that sir," Cardin replied.

"For what it's worth I am sorry that we couldn't do more for your home town," Ozpin apologized honestly.

"But I do have a question, it's about your sister," Ozpin said, "Now seeing as how your mother was a faunus, does that mean that your sister is one as well."

"Yes sir, she is a cheetah Faunus," Cardin replied.

"Now I know how your Father died can I assume that it's also how your Mother died," Ozpin asked.

"No sir, she was killed by a group of faunus a year after my sister was born because she was married to a human," Cardin said.

"I see," Ozpin said, "Now you will be going to a form of rehabilitation that both Faunus and Humans can go to, for getting over their less then desired feelings toward each other."

"When sir," Cardin asked.

"Evey week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 p.m.," Ozpin told him, "You will receive a message on your scroll that will be the location."

"Ok sir," Cardin said.

"Lastly, we will be making sure that you are going to these meetings understood," Ozpin told him.

"Yes sir," Cardin replied.

"Now I accept to see an increase in your grades and in combate class, after all their is only so much I can do to keep you in this school," Ozpin told him.

"Me and my team have been trying to figure out a why for us to better understand the material and we decided that it'd be best for us to spend two hours every Saturday in the library studying on the subjects that we don't understand," Cardin told him.

"Well that will help you in your mental education, it will not help you in combate class, which as of now is your teams worst class," Glynda butted in.

"I know ma'am, the only way any of us will get better in that class is for us to first get better at fighting people," Cardin said.

"That is a good observation Mr. Winchester, well you and your team are currently the third best Grimm killing team in your grade, you are quite possibly the worst team when it comes to fighting other people," Ozpin said bluntly.

"We're all looking into personal training and people who could help each of us," Cardin replied, feeling only a slight hit to his ego.

"All good things, I hope," Ozpin said.

"For the most part yeah, the rest of my team have already found people who are willing to teach them and I've seen the small improvements that has made," Cardin said.

"Amazing, if that is all then I think you are good to go to your meeting Cardin. Anything you wish to add Mrs. Goodwitch," Ozpin said.

"Nothing on my end," Glynda responded.

"Alright, you are dismissed Cardin," Ozpin said.

With that Cardin turned to leave, but just before he reached the elevator Ozpin called for him.

"Oh and one more thing Cardin, it was very admirable of you to try and take all of the blame for your team," Ozpin said.

"Thank you sir," was all Cardin could say.

With that he pressed the button and left Ozpins office. He had a meeting to get to.

(Ilia POV)

'This is the place, smaller then I was expecting'

I entered the small building in the Faunus District of Vale, it wasn't a bad area nor was it only inhabited by Faunes, it had a healthy amount of Humans in it and they were very friendly people who were down on their luck is all.

"Hello mama how may I help you,"

"Yes, can you point me in the direction of the 'Hatred No More Group'," I asked the old receptionist.

"0h it's so nice to see someone so young go their, ok it's down the left hall, 5th door on the right," The old lady told me with joy.

'Guess it's mostly older people coming down here.'

I reached the room and entered their was a small circle of maybe twenty Faunus, no humans, unfortunate.

"Hello their young lady, what us your name," one of the people asked, going off of how he spoke, I'm guessing that's the leader of the group, ok.

"My name is Ilia," I responded.

"Hello Ilia, please grab a seat," he told me in a kind tone, "Should I add you to the roster," he asked.

"Sure I think I'll be coming around a bit," I replied.

It was quite in here, but nonetheless everyone like nice.

"Hello is this the 'Hatred No More Group'," I heard a deeper male voice from behind me.

"Yes it is young man," the leader said.

I turn and was meet with surprise. A Human stepped into the room, a mother bad looking one at that, but I'll keep that to myself.

"You must be Cardin," he said.

'That can't be good'

"Yes, I am sorry for holding you I missed the first Bullhead to this district," Cardin apologized.

"It's no problem at all, take a seat and we will begin," the instructor said.

Cardin took the seat next to me, this just made this a whole lot more worth it.

(Time Skip)

During all of the stories I would see Cardin visibly flinch, it was suprising.

"Ok Miss Ilia I believe it is your turn," the instructor singled me out, "What led you to hating humans and what led you to coming here."

"Well it was a mixture of my time in the Schnee company mines, and my time in the peaceful White Fang that led me to hate humans," I told them honestly, "I don't feel I need to explain how the mines helped my view, but my time in those protests, seeing how the humans responded it molded mu very of the Humans in a major way."

"Ok you've told us what led you to hating the Humans, but led you here," the instructor pried.

"Well I was doing so cleaung recently and I found the letter from the Human who freed me from the mines and paid for my journey to Menagerie, an it reminded me what of what one of the Faunus who welcomed me to Menagerie had told me," I told them not going into much detail about just who saved me from.that mine.

"And what did this Faunus say to you?," the instructor asked.

"She said 'Don't let the actions of a few, change how you see the many'," I repeated what Kali had said to me.

"A very good saying indeed, now Mister Winchester you confuse me when Ozpin set me a message saying he was sending down a huntsmen for me to set straight I was expecting someone more vocal about their hatred, but you sat here respectfully and I've seen you flinch a few times when the others were sharing their stories, why is that," the instructor said to Cardin, guess it's his turn.

"I don't know how to explain it, my mom was a faunus, and my dad was a human, I have a faunus sister who I can barely look in the eye but even now looking back at how I've treated the Faunus at Beacon, I want to kick the shit out of myself," Cardin spilled his guts. I wasn't expecting him to have Faunus family, and looking around the room, neither was anybody else.

"Ok so, what led you to have these feelings about the Faunus," the instructor asked.

"I lived in Stracony when it was attacked in by the White Fang," Cardin said quietly.

At the name Stracony, the room became deathly silent. I had only heard rumors about what really happened their, but from what I've heard it was like hell on Remnant.

"I'm... sorry to hear that, if you dont wish to speak about it any more that's ok," the instructor said.

"I've come to terms with my past but I just cant get over everything that I've lost because of Faunus, first my mom, then my dad and my home town, I just lost all hope for Faunus after that, sent my my sister to love with our aunt that lives in Menagerie and didn't turn back," Cardin said, I felt horrible for the guy.

To think that this is what the White Fang does to people that weren't even physically hurt.

"Do you speak to your sister at all," the instructor asked.

"No, I just send her some money ever month but that's it," Cardin replied, at least he does something for her right.

"I see, well I will say once more that I am sorry for what happened to your home," the instructor said.

"Thanks," Cardin replied.

(Three Week Time Skip)

Turns out Cardin turned out to be a really nice person once he got out of his shell of hatred. Its been cool seeing him grow and seeing him here has given me some hope for the humans.

"Ok, that wraps up today's season, I'll see all of you here Friday," the instructor, who's name is Niwtral, said closing today's meeting.

I got up to leave but was interrupted.

"Hey Ilia," I heard Cardin say.

"Yes Cardin," I said looking at him.

'Oum I could get lost in his eyes'

"I was wondering if you would like to grab dinner," He asked me.

"Like a date," I was blushing just asking the question.

"I mean if you would like it to be sure," he said catching me off guard.

"Um, sure why not," I said.

"It's nice to see you two getting along," said Niwtral from behind us.

"Oh sorry we'll leave now," Cardin said, I agreed we shouldn't be holding him up.

"Have a good night you two," Niwtral said from behind us.

At that we left.

(Small Time Skip to inner Vale)

Cardin was leading me through Vale by the hand, now I wasn't going to complain about the Human that has the affection of my heart holding my hand, but it would be nice if my face wouldn't stop burning.

"So where are we going," I finally asked.

"Thiers this nice little restaurant that I've been told is pretty good," he replied.

"So it's a surprise then, alright," I said.

We turned another corner and I was meet with the sight of a friendly little diner.

"This place is friendly to both races so I figured I'd be a safe option," Cardin said.

"Well let's not stand out here all night," I said pulling himmalong with me.

We entered and the first thing I saw was a Faunus waitress having a nice talk with a Human customer.

"Just two of you tonight," a greater asked us.

"Yes it'll just be us two," Cardin told them.

"Right this way," She said leading us to a booth in the far corner of the diner.

We sat and talked for what felt like hours, and I was loving every second of it and I think he was to. Turns out is favorite color I'd violet, is it a bit different, sure, did I care, no. His sister's name is Tacka, he even showed me a picture of her from when she was little, and she was the cutest thing.

(There Week Time Skip brought to you in part by Summer and Tai trying to cut little Yangs hair)

We did this after every one of the meetings and I will say it was the best part of my life now. But today was different, we weren't going out after one of the meetings and going to the nice little diner, no he told me to dress nicely and that we were going somewhere nice. I had my best dress on, it wasn't anything to eye catching but it hugged all the right places and showed some cleavage so I think it sends and pretty good message of how I want things to go.

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Coming," I yelled out.

I open the door and saw Cardin standing outside and a nice suit.

"You ready," he asked me.

"Absolutely," I replied.

I intertwined my arm with his.

'Oum, is he all muscle'

"You look beautiful," Cardin said.

"Why thank you smooth talker," I replied, a large smile plastered across my face.

"I like to try," he replied with a laugh.

"So where are you taking me," I asked.

"Theirs this fancy restaurant in Vale that's friendly to Faunus, it's got a band and some pretty decent food," he told me.

"Alrighty than " I said.

(Small Time Skip brought to you in part by this Crack Ship)

I don't think their is anything I can eat that would top what we just ate. The food was expensive, I could tell, but Cardin didn't hesitate when picking up the check to pay.

"So what now," I asked.

"It's up to you," Cardin said.

At that moment I got an idea, a very dirty idea.

"Why don't we go back to.my place," I said.

"Sure, something you want to do their," Cardin asked, I ain't think he's picking up what I'm putting down.

"Yeah, I think I know what we can do that both of us will love," I said in a sultry tone.

"Oh, ok," was all he said.

We were maybe a block or two away from my house when I got an idea.

"Hey Cardin," I said.

"Yes Ilia," he replied.

"Would you mind carrying me the rest of the way their," I said crossing my fingers.

"Sure," he replied simply.

At that he lifted me off my feet and carried bridle style the rest of the way back.

Once we made it their Cardin put me down so that I could open the door. I won't admit that I was struggling to open the door do to the excitement that was building inside of me. Finally I managed to open the door.

"Just sit on the couch and wait till I call you ok," I said.

"Sure thing," he replied sitting down.

I went to my room and closed the door behind me. I need to get ready, quickly. I throw off the dress and put it on the chair that sat infront of my desk. I changed my of the red bra and panties in favor of the lacy black set I keep in my drawer for this very reason. Once changed I turned on my heat lamp which lit the room up with a soft red hue. After that I sat down on the bed and tried to make myself as attractive as possible.

"Cardin can you come in here please," I yelled out to him.

(Cardin POV)

Now I am will not say that my mind was running through some scenarios in my head right now, I mean come on I'm a 17 year old boy. Anyway who wouldn't be imagining what the beautiful date could be implying when she said that you both were going back to her place to do something that both of you would enjoy. I won't lie to myself and say that I've never thought of the beautiful chameleon naked before, cause I most certainly have and just thinking about it now was getting me a little to excited.

"Cardin can you come in here please," I heard Ilia yell form her room.

"Coming," I yelled.

"Oh boy," I said under my breath preparing myself for anything.

I walked up to the door and opened it.

What I saw near took the breath out of me.

"So, how do a look," Ilia said in a very sexy tone.

"Uhh," 'Damn it brain, now is not the time. Think Cardin think'

"You look like heaven on Remnant," was all I could say.

"Oh really now," she said.

"Absolutely," I replied, I must look like a fool right now.

"Then come over here and prove it," she said.

(Time Skip cause I don't feel like making this another one of those fanfictions)

(Ilia POV)

When I woke back up I immediately realized two things.

1. I wasn't alone in bed.

2. I was entirely naked.

Slowly last nights memories came back to me.

"You can go back to sleep it's barely even 2 a.m. yet," Cardin said.

"Yeah but I want to talk to you," I said.

"Oh yay pillow talk," Cardin said sarcastically, "Anyway what's on your mind?"

"Well I want to know if you want to take this somewhere cause I do," I said hopefully.

"I would love that Ilia, but are you sure you'll be safe," Cardin said worry dripping in his voice.

"Yeah I won't say a thing," I said trying to reassure him.

"Alright if you say so," he said.

That's when I felt three large gashes on his chest.

"Hey how'd you get this scar," I asked him.

"Beowolf got a good hit on me when I was younger, have had that scar ever since," he told me.

"Oh," I said dumbly.

"Hey, I really need to get some more sleep cause I still got school tomorrow," he said.

"When should set a alarm for," I asked him.

"6 a.m.," he said bluntly.

"I'm sorry what," I asked.

"My classes start at 9 and I've got to get some morning training in," Cardin told me.

"Oh," I was a little disappointed I won't lie.

"Hey look at me you'll see me this afternoon noon I promise," he said trying, and succeeding, to chear me up.

"Ok, good night," I said.

"Huh, more like good morning," Cardin said.
