It was only a matter of time before I created a Blazblue fanfiction. Figured, might as well add this under the list of series that I wrote fictional stories about.

Hey everybody, Ace here as usual this time with a new story for a new series. I've started getting into Blazblue for a good...6 months or so? I don't know, I truly got into Blazblue after the Ragna vs. Sol Badguy DEATH BATTLE had first aired on ScrewAttack. Great series, by the way, though it may seem a biased and a bit unfair at points, I will not lie. Overall, it's a really good entertainment show. I really recommend it to those who haven't had the chance to see this series yet.

Anyways, this fanfic I thought up surprisingly came out of nowhere. Even I'm surprised at how random this seemed to come out of nowhere especially with the pairing I came up with. But, I get the feeling it was mostly inspired by a few RagnaxKokonoe fics I read by ShadowFang3000. And the more I thought about it, the more I liked it; and well… here it is. Like my other story, "Ice Princess and her Innocent Demon" this is gonna be a series of One-Shots, Drabble, and (You guessed it) tender moments on an OCxCharacter couple that I created.

The Lovely Main Pairing of this fanfic: VanityxKokonoe

If you want to know a bit more about Vanity's background and personality, it's on my profile.

FAIR WARNING: Again, like with "Ice Princess"; this story will consist of underage dating. Vanity is 12 while Kokonoe is 20. Now, the reason for the large age gap is simply because it is meant to be seen as a joke. You know in anime there's sometimes a minor or major joke about how a teenage or adult falling (If sometimes hopelessly) in love with a young boy, often being dubbed Shotacons. This is basically the same situation here.

If you have a problem with the underage relationship, please kindly 'X' out of the story and go about your business.

Anyway I think I've rambled long enough. Btw, you're going to see a lotta OOCness with Kokonoe. If you've read Ice Princess, and seen how Euphemia acts, it'll be exactly the same to an extent; so just giving you a heads up.

Disclaimer: I do not own Blazblue or any of their characters, just the OCs that appears in this story.

Rebel 01: Home

Honestly, what was the point of even coming home sometimes?

That's the question she always asked herself whenever she saw her apartment building in the distance.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with her apartment. No, her place was a fairly large one, a rarity one would see in apartment complex nowadays. It's just that, when it came to her job, she would rarely have a reason to go home.

If one were to describe Kokonoe as a scientist. You could describe her as a hardworking woman. Though her belief of sometimes the ends justify the means could make her seem questionable at points. One could not deny the results she was able to get when she put her mind to it. But, it was because of her reputation as hardworking scientist, that if you were to describe her as a person; at best, you could say, she didn't have much of a much of a social life outside her lab.

"Social life, hah, like I even need one, my time as a scientist makes me too busy to even consider it." The cat hybrid murmured as she reached the front door of her place. She paused in thought for a minute before a curt 'Tch' passed her lips "Granted, I could step out of the lab for a breather every once and a while."

She folded her arms in a childish manner "But that doesn't mean they should go to extremes lengths to kick me out."

Now while Kokonoe may have been labeled as a prodigy genius; she also managed to gain somewhat of an infamous reputation as well, for being the woman who worked the ungodly hours. Her time spent in her lab against her time spent out of it was so badly outweighed, the place was considered by her colleagues to be a second home to her. Any chance of her exiting her lab akin to a willing manner was usually enforced by her irritating (Concerned) subordinates.

"Tch, bastards the lot of them, I close my eyes for a few minutes. And Tager and Litchi are on me like a pack of vultures."

Sighing, she trudged inside the building and started up the stairs. Mentally cursing at her landlord for not getting off his lazy ass to fix this elevator that had been broken for TWO WEEKS! It didn't help, that she lived on the six floor of her building. But hey, she got off lucky; she could've been one of those poor schmucks that lived on the 7th and up floors, of her 10 floors apartment. Kokonoe made a mental note to threaten her landlord. If he wouldn't take matters into his own hands by the end of the week, she would do it herself.

Finally reaching her door, Kokonoe jiggled her keys in the door's lock. A few grunts and shoulder slams later, and she finally got the door open. Yet another reason she hated coming home to.

As stated before Kokonoe's place was rather big what with it featuring two bedrooms, along with a spacious bathroom and kitchen. She often wondered to herself, why she even bothered with such a huge place if she was the only one living here by herself. She was even told by her associates to sell the place, since there was no reason to own one. And often times, she would agree.

'At least, that's what I used to think. But now…'

"Kokonoe…?"

'…I have a reason.'

"Koko-chan, is that you?" A young voice called out

Stepping out from the kitchen was a young boy looking to be about 12 years of age. He had smooth shoulder length obsidian black hair with spiky bangs. Dark sapphire blue color eyes and same color highlights on the bangs of his hair. He was wearing a dark blue shirt with a black flame design at the bottom, black shorts and, currently at the moment, red slippers. Upon seeing the cat-eared scientist, the boy's confused looked immediately changed to a look of pure joy. Quickly untying the apron he had been using, the young adolescent threw it on the couch before rushing to the older woman and tackling her into a big bear hug.

"It IS you Koko-chan! I thought you were gonna be pulling another all-nighter." The boy looked up at taller woman with warmest smile he could muster "Okaerinasai!"

Slightly caught off guard from the sudden tackle, Kokonoe had a look of shock on her face. Before it slowly melted into a small smile, and she wrapped her arms around the twelve year old.

"Tadaima, Vanity"

Honestly, what was the point of even coming home sometimes?

That's a question Kokonoe used to ask herself from time to time. Usually without an answer.

But... If you were to ask her again this time around. Her response would be…

"I have someone at home waiting for me."

First Rebel is done, and the second is sure to be well under way. I'll admit this first one was inspired by some of ShadowFang3000's RagnaxKokonoe fanfics. I may have taken some bits here and there but nothing to major. Just a quick note I forgot to mention, this takes place in my Blazblue AU so you may see some X-Over cameos in future chapters.

Other than that, there's not much else to say. As usual I you enjoyed the chapter, and please be kind enough to leave a review, and check out my other works.

See you next time ^_^
