IXXX: I love you

You, Harry, do realise that you're naked." Velvet stated as she felt the tears run down her shoulder and into the wound.

Harry looked at her, pupils vanished and his eyes a kaleidoscope of colours. Eventually, the colours receded and revealed the heterochromatic eyes that she loved so much. "It's not like you've not seen me like this before?"

Velvet giggled at that "I know. It's…I'm…unaccustomed to having to share that view with everyone, outside of my Team, that is."

Harry pulled her closer to him, before scooping her off her feet bridal style. As they turned to leave, Rumpole was making a beeline for them "Rumpole."

"It's Professor Rumpole, Mr. Branwen, now where are you going? You cannot be so blind to realise that…"

"I've seen, I've noticed, I know what you're going to say and the answer is no. I never, formally, enrolled at the academy. I was merely offered the chance to enrol. So, since, I'm a visitor, I'm not officially inclined to help with the repairing of the Academy. Furthermore, I…really, really, need a new wardrobe. Whilst, I've got no problem walking around with the entirety of my physique on display…it is slightly draughty and I believe there is a crime of public indecency. Although it'd be a very funny story to share, I'd rather not have to explain why I was walking around stark naked to those listening to the story in the first place. Before you even ask, I do have several people whom are more than willing to back me up."

Rumpole nodded "I remember you saying that you needed to find some people and I presume, not assume…I know the butt of that joke and I do not find it that humerus."

Harry let out a rumbling chuckle "That…was a good one. Now, if you'll eggscuse us. We have much to do and not much time."

Velvet had managed to scrounge up a pair of shorts, boxers and socks for Harry. His boots surprisingly were the only thing to survive his rampage. She picked up his scroll and his yen and stored them on her person. "Might as well take him for what he's worth…literally."

Finally, without holdups team, CFVY and Harry managed to leave the school and head into the town. There were few shops open, but, with convincing

I.e. Velvet holding up a bulging pouch of lien, she managed to get a clothing store to open. "How can I…" The owner began to ask when she saw Harrys' lack of dress.

"My boyfriend needs…"

"Has he been through the wars or something?"

Harry chuckled "Two wars and a Grimm stomach…so, I need some new clothes."

"Huntsman level. Yes, yes, come in. Now…do you have any preferences?"

Velvet spoke "He has no sense of style. Although the only thing he does have a preference for are boots."

The shop-owner giggled "I can work with that."

It took about three hours but Harry left the store in a brand new pair of reinforced boots, a new pair of jeans and a red skin-tight long sleeves shirt, leather gunslinger gloves and a black ¾ length sleeveless leather vest. The rest of his clothes were all in various carrier bags. Coco nodded to Velvet "Fox, Yatsu and I are gonna head back to the school. You two enjoy yourselves."

Harry and Velvet watched them leave. The moment they'd left, Harry spun her around, scooped her off her feet and kissed her. Velvet didn't care, her man was back! Her arms snaked around the back of his head allowing her to fully push her tongue into his mouth.

Reluctantly breaking apart, the duo, breathing heavily. Harry looked Velvet in the eyes "I love you, Velvet. Aye, I did have a crush on you but you were the one that I kept thinking about when I was gone."

Velvet felt like she was on cloud nine and didn't want to come down. "I love you too." She replied, her laboured breathing lowered her voice. It affected her boyfriend as she observed him shudder slightly. His eyes, began to burn. "Now we're finally alone…"

Harry grinned "I want dinner and then a sleepless night with you. Hopefully with the pair of us forgetting how to walk."

Velvet wrapped her arms around Harry's neck and pulled herself exceptionally close to him. To the point where she was riding his leg "Please. I want nothing more than to feel like I'm yours." She whispered into his ear.

Strong hands grabbed and squeezed her ass, Velvet was normally extremely careful with everyone near her. "Let's find a place." She whispered flipping herself onto Harry's back. The place, it turned out was a rather well-kept motel.

"You got room?" Harry stated looking the receptionist in the eye.

"Yeah, how long are you staying for?"

"Babe, how long do you reasonably think we can ask your team to stall for us?"

"Probably two nights. One night of passion, the second is us getting absolutely trollied."

"Two nights please."

The receptionist snorted "Hunters? Or students?"

"She's in training. I'm just on a delayed return to my Team. Hopefully I can bring her Team with me on a whirlwind tour of mayhem, maverick tendencies and massive amounts of property damage. I'd say I'm on a mission from God, but, he ain't listening."

"I get that one. Where's your next destination?"

"Minstrel via Menagerie…I've got a feeling in my fingers that my team are in menagerie having a right good party without me."

Harry quickly paid upfront for the two nights and breakfast before heading to their room.

Velvet landed on the bed with a sigh. She'd gotten so comfortable attached to Harry's back, but that changed when Harry pinned her down and ran his hands down her legs. She obliged by lifting and spreading her legs so he could remove her footwear. Harry's own boots hit the floor with a thud.

Velvet's leggings and Harry's belt-held jeans quickly joined them as their kissing and roaming arms increased. Their final layers of clothing were removed and the moans and pleads were replaced grunts, groans and cries of pleasure.

(DANK)

"Are you all sure, that I can't persuade you to stay?" Ghira asked.

Adam snorted "We would if we could. However, we need to get moving. Harry would fillet us, if, we left his sister and her team to die."

Blake blanched "Yeah…yeah…that's so true. Dad, I'm…going with them." She admitted her ears drooping slightly.

Ghira smiled "Turn that frown upside down, Blake, I'm proud of you…I always have been."

(Mistral Group)

Ruby collapsed on her bed. Her comic hitting the floor with a thud. She made it! She'd escorted her team across two nations and made it to Mistral, only to feel like a failure.

"You really are his sister." She looked up to find Hermione and Neville in the room.

Ruby sat up too look at the intruders "I am. What is that supposed to mean exactly?"

She inwardly grinned as the girl flinched and Neville snorted "You've got his fire and desire to do right."

"Apparently. Then how come we've barely managed to spend any time together? He's pulled one way and I'm pulled another. I don't know how he stands it, I don't understand why I have to deal with this."

Neville grinned "Some would say that you do it because you're guided to. Do you know what I think Ruby?"

"I know that's a rhetorical, Neville, you're going to tell me."

Neville nodded "You and Harry do the things that you do, because, deep inside you both know that other people are assholes and are guaranteed to fuck up. So when you do something, you gi, unreservedly full-on. It leaves the image that you're a bagasse…believe me, I've found Harry crying in silence in the bathrooms after a dumb stunt. You do it because you both know that if you can't solve it everyone's fucked anyway. As for not spending time with each other…well…stupid breeds quicker than responsibility."

Ruby let out a choking giggle "So we're separated to sort out the mass amounts of stupid."

"Although, I think, Harry's going to bring us his own brand of stupid."

Ruby was observant, she knew her brother had a major thing for Velvet. She groaned "He's going to get her pregnant…"

"Probably. Look, Ruby, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for trying to abduct my best friend away. I was brought into a world that I thought belonged in a story-book, and I was obsessed. Then I found out about your brother, being a celebrity…in the end I couldn't see Harry wanted to be his own person…"

"Until now."

Hermione nodded "That's right."

(Qrow, Dean and Seamus)

"Qrow, this is a shot in the dark." Dean began as Seamus took a swig from a whiskey bottle.

"Go on."

Dean paused for a moment "An inside job? Someone sold out, these people, they were betrayed?"

"It's a good idea, but, who would do that?" Qrow replied his mind whirling.

"Are there any links? Anything that all? Someone they knew and you know? A blacksmith, a bar tender…a…"

"A member of Ozpin's group. A Headmaster, the only Headmaster that's got even a remote influence here is Leo…oh god damnit."
