I lay on my back, looking at the ceiling.

It was girls night.

You see the problem, yes?

I was bored. My homework was done, I knew my lessons inside and out and my gauntlets were shiny.

I guess it's time to read that new chapter in my faunus book.

Ah, heat cycles. Comparable to those found in animals such in dogs, it is a time of year when all faunus experience an increase in hormones, encouraging them to mate. Although the times may vary, be sure that all faunus experience this. Heat duration also varies, ranging from a day to a week to even a month. In most cases, though, mating or sexual interaction, in general, will stop the heat early. It is also worth mentioning that faunus exhibit behaviors similar to their animal counterparts (Cats meowing/rubbing up against people, monkeys climbing, etc.). In a sense, they become closer to their beast side. And no, it is NOT bestiality.

Is the book encouraging me? . . . eh. Whatever.

I flip to the next chapter.

Menagerie is an island composed of mostly faunus. It was established by faunus, as a sort of haven. Humans are generally not allowed on the island. The social system seems to resemble a clan, with a 'chief' as the leader. It has a rather unique culture, with traditional clothing known as a 'kimono' (shown below).

Oddly enough, the picture looks a lot like Blake's sleepware. Huh. Weird.

I close my book. Still bored.

I think I'll go train.

I grab my gauntlets and leave a note, heading to the training building.

I saw a team of four in the arena. Among them was that rabbit girl who I had healed.

I set up a punching bag and start practising.

They capped me off at five.

I sat, dejected, on a bench.

???: Hey. Wanna spar?

I look up to see a girl with brown hair. Leia, my childhood friend, flickered into view for a millisecond.

???: Helloooo. Anyone in there?

I snap to attention.

Me: Sure.

???: Alright. By the way, the name's Coco. Thanks for saving Velvet over there.

She gestures to the rabbit girl.

We ready up.

Coco: Yatsu. Track our aura, won't you?

The taller boy nods.

Coco: Velvet, count us down!

Velvet: 3!

I adjust my gauntlets.

Velvet: 2!

Coco yawns into her hand.

Velvet: 1!

We stance up.

Velvet: Go!

Neither of us move an inch.

And we stay that way.

And then we start to slowly go in a circle, shuffling bit by bit, always opposite each other.

The boy leaning up against the wall speaks out.

???: Just go already! I can practically hear the tumbleweeds.

Coco: Not rushing, eh? Has cowardice taken you over?

Me: If you're so antsy, why not approach me?

Coco: Eh. Might scuff a heel.

Me: You're not gonna like this fight then.

Coco: Why?

She doesn't seem to notice that I've gotten closer.

I don't give her an answer. Unless Aqua Sweep counts as an answer. In which case I did.

She got knocked off of her feet, so I did the whole Swallow Dance deal, but instead of backing off, as I had done before, I rushed in, taking advantage of her openings to unleash an onslaught.

I use Steel. I'm more of a threat now.

Coco laughs.

Coco: Hmm. Guess I shouldn't have been curious.

Her bag becomes a very large gun.

And she fires at me.

I start taking evasive manoeuvres, just like I had seen in some fights.

Several bullets still clipped me, though.

It hurt. But I felt the wounds mending themselves.

I used Demon Fist twice, ducking low and darting between them. Coco couldn't see which one I was behind.

When I got close, I flipped over Coco, kicking her and sending her stumbling into the shockwaves, just in time for me to use Beast.

Yatsu: Coco is unable to battle! Y/N wins!

I help Coco up.

Me: Are you alright?

Coco: Yeah, I'm just kind of tired. You'd better watch out though! I'll beat you next time!

I feel like I'm coasting on my bag of tricks. Once everyone learns how to counter me, I'll have to find new tools. But I'll be ready.

I walk back to the dorm, humming a tune.

I walk in to see that the girls were back. Weiss seemed shaken, Ruby and Yang were laughing and Blake was in the fetal position, rocking back and forth.

Me: So, how was your night?

Blake: Death. Destruction. Fire.

Yang: We kind of burned a night club down. Could you try calming Blake down? She won't let us go near her.

Blake: For good. Reason.

I sit down next to Blake. I decided to try something.

I reach under her bow and rub her head.

To my surprise, she let out a purr.

Ruby: I guess you found out, huh.

The rest of team RWBY is standing in front of us.

Yang: You'd better treat her right.

Me: I swear it. Also, I had no clue what a faunus was last week. I learned about them from a book.

Yang: You're more of a village boy every day.

Blake clings to me, her bow undone. She has cute little cat ears.

Blake: Feel safe. Sleep here.

Yang: Well, now you can't move. you've got a cat on you.

And so I slept that way, with Blake cuddling up to me.

And a blush on my face.
