~ Ruby ~

It didn't take long for the feeling of defeat to sink into her heart. She was now defenseless with Crescent Rose out of her reach and her back against the wall. Her silver eyes searched desperately for the rest of her team while trying to watch the Grimm that surrounded her. Her breathing was heavy, not with dreariness, but with fear. Her left arm clenched her right shoulder feeling the warm blood slip through her fingers from her injury. Her aura was completely vanquished, if she were to be hit again it would be a direct impact and she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

From the other side of the deep snowy cave, Ruby could hear Yang fire off some shots at the beowolves surrounding her and her partner. The firing had suddenly stopped when Yang started cussing and tackled the nearest Grimm trying to defend the passed out Blake; she was now out of bullets and using desperate measures. Yang's punches were getting slower and weaker by the second and her fiery aura was slowly diminishing. It would only be a short amount of time before she collapsed right next to her girlfriend.

Out of the corner of her eye, Ruby spotted Weiss slowly make her way towards their young team leader. Earlier, her and Weiss had an argument before leaving for their mission and expected her partner to stay as far away as possible. Then again, they didn't expect to be up against this many Grimm. As Weiss approached, Ruby noticed that Weiss' weapon, Myrtenaster, was completely out of Dust. When Weiss finally reached her side, Ruby closed her eyes and tried to make her last thoughts peaceful ones.

"So this is how I'm going to die…" Ruby thought to herself. "Not by a heroic act to save my team, but weaponless and seeing my friends suffer before me."

A beowolf lifted its paw about to swipe at Ruby when it suddenly stopped. At first the team didn't understand why they suddenly stopped attacking, but soon they heard it as well.

Everything became still when a loud, deep howl filled the entire cave. Only one second after the howling stopped, blood was sprayed everywhere and five beowolves collapsed dead. The remainder of the Beowolves tried to exit the cave, but a blue and black blur soon followed them and after ten seconds there were thirty dead beowolves on the floor. In the end, the only things left in the cave were the members of team RWBY and a hooded person.

Ruby's jaw dropped when she saw the skill of this unknown person.

"Sorry I hogged all the fun," Said the unknown person slowly taking off the blue hood, "but it looked like you needed some help, so I stepped in."

This guy now fully had the team's attention, even Blake's eyes widened in surprise for what she saw while the others had their mouths hung open like idiots. He was as tall as Yang (so about 5'8") and kind of scrawny, but not in a bad way. His facial features where surprisingly feminine, his voice wasn't deep like a guy but it wasn't girly either and his eyes were a beautiful sky blue. His hair was brown with golden streaks and the top and sides of his head was the typical guy hair length but the back was tied into a low pony tail that went just past his shoulder blades. But what was really surprising was the fangs in his friendly smile and the golden triangular dog like ears on his head.

"The name's Okami, I'm a wolf faunus." Okami said while winking at Blake. He then turned towards Ruby and his smile became even bigger. "You guys are team RWBY, right?"

~Back At Beacon (In Team RWBY's Dorm)~

"No! There is no way I would ever accept that no good faunus to be the new student at Beacon!" Weiss said with her face red and arms waving in the air. "Did you see the way he just barged into OUR fight? I swear, the nerve of some people!"

Blake, who was laying on her bed reading a book, shot a glare at the heiress and stood up to protest. "You STILL hate the faunuses even after everything that happened?"

"Oh crap, here we go again…"

Weiss turned to face Blake and shot her arms up in defense. "Yes, you are my team mate and friend! I have no problem with you, you are the only exception. But I still don't trust no good scum like him!"

"I've already told you this before Ice Queen, not all faunuses are bad!" Blake's glare became even angrier if that was even possible. Her ears weren't tied in her black bow, she had them out but they were facing down and pulled back twitching in anger at every word she spoke. "Ruby and Yang don't have a problem with me or them, why can't you just stop being so stubborn?"

"Please leave me out of this…" Ruby said sitting on her bed staring at the argument before her.

"Yeah, me too, I'm busy and you guys are distracting me." Yang said over her newest issue of Weapons Finest while she just reclined in her bed. Once Yang starts reading her magazines the world could be ending and she wouldn't give a shit.

Blake and Weiss ignored the two sisters and continued their argument.

"Well sorry, CAT, but I'm not an ignorant dolt like those two." Weiss shot back as she crossed her arms. "Didn't he seem kind of off to you? I mean, a WOLF faunus? I've never even heard of one before!"

Blake's angry expression had changed into a thinking one. You can tell she was in deep thought before she responded.

"They used to be very common," Blake said while making eye contact with Weiss, "but no one has seen one in almost fifty years, everyone thought they had gone extinct."

Weiss' eyes widened with this new information. "So they really do exist?"

Ruby couldn't take it anymore and decided to enter the conversation. "Weiss, why can't you just accept him for who he is? He seems like a nice guy, he even saved our lives."

"Not to mention he's hot too." Blake added with an audible purr at the end.

"WHAT?!" Blake's comment had somehow brought Yang back to reality. She dropped to the ground with her fiery aura blazing and eyes turning red. She grabbed Blake by the shoulders and stared at her angrily in the eyes. "What did you just say?"

"I said that Okami is hot. He's pretty attractive." Blake said bluntly with a small smirk on her face.

You could literally hear Yang's world shatter when she suddenly looked normal again after hearing what her girlfriend said. Her mouth hung open and eyes rolled back when she fell flat on her back.

"You and I finally agree on something, Weiss…I hate that bastard's guts." She said before passing out.

Blake instantly tended to Yang while Weiss still stood there in shock not realizing what Yang just said.

"Well, this is going completely nowhere." Ruby thought to herself. Then she spoke to her team saying, "I'm going out for a long walk by myself, don't bother to look for me." And with that she walked out the door.

Ruby really did plan to go on a walk, but then she saw the door to the dorm next to team RWBY's slightly open and she decided to take a look. The plaque said "Okami" and the young girl became mildly confused.

"He doesn't live with his team? Wait, does he even have a team? Ozpin said he wanted our team to show him around because no one else could… Poor guy, he must be so lonely. I wonder if he has made any friends yet. No, he's been with us the whole time; he only knew where to find us because Ozpin told him to find us where our mission took place. Still, the poor guy's first impression of the students here was Weiss yelling at him the whole way back… Maybe I should go in and say hello and see if he needs any help unpacking."

Ruby stepped into the room closing the door and was slightly unimpressed with what she saw. In the room were the basic necessities. There was a kitchen, a bathroom, a closet, a table with four chairs, and a desk just like in her room. She heard the shower running in the bathroom and knew that it was Okami, but she decided to stay anyway after a long tiring day. There weren't any boxes in the room like there should have been, in fact, the only thing that seemed to be Okami's things were two duffle bags. In the back of the room by the window where four beds should be, there was only one futon on the floor, and in the corner of the room was a small blue doghouse.

"Wait a second, a doghouse? The only reason someone would have doghouse was if they had a-… Nah, he couldn't... Or could he?" Ruby walked over to the doghouse slowly and got down on her knees, she almost yelped at what she saw.

Inside the doghouse sleeping was what looked like a tiny, fluffy wolf cub. Ruby was practically melting from the cuteness and was tempted to pick up and hold the fluffy little animal. Ruby slightly looked up and noticed a name plaque above the opening, it read "Urufu".

"So your name is Urufu?" Ruby quietly whispered to herself. At the sound of her name (Ruby discovered it was a girl), the little puppy slowly opened her eyes and yawned. When the puppy was fully awake it saw Ruby and started wagging her tail happily. Urufu walked out of her doghouse and crawled on to Ruby's lap, she tried to crawl up even higher but then realized she couldn't so she lightly pawed at Ruby's arm. Ruby giggled at the wolf's gesture and gently started to pet her. Ruby then got up and walked over to the table and sat in a chair with her back to the hallway door, Urufu followed her and jumped into her lap. As Ruby and Urufu sat there quietly Ruby started thinking about earlier that day.

Earlier that day, Ruby and Weiss got into a fight. Weiss was really upset that Ruby was failing most of her classes and Ruby was mad because Weiss was constantly treating her like a kid.

"Why does she always do that to me? I'm not a little kid anymore and yet she still treats me like I am… She looked really beautiful today though."

Ruby never told this to anyone, but she was in love with her partner Weiss. At first it was just a tiny crush that started when they first became partners in the forest, she thought that it was just a phase. But over time, that tiny bud grew into a beautiful white rose.

"She probably hates my guts; to her I'm just a team mate and nothing else."

Ruby's thoughts were stopped when she heard the shower turn off and Okami spoke out.

"Hey, Urufu! Can you do me a favor and bring me a sports bra? I thought I grabbed one but I guess not."

"… Sports bra?..."

Urufu barked once and jumped off of Ruby's lap. She walked over to one of the bags and pulled out a sports bra and carried it in her mouth over to the bathroom door. Once she got to the door, the small cub pawed at it and a hand reached out to grab it.

"Thanks Urufu, you're such a good girl."

"… What the fuck is happening right now…" Ruby was blushing like crazy but she didn't say anything, there was something she needed to check.

After a minute, Okami came out of the bathroom wearing just the bra and black short shorts. Okami didn't notice Ruby and walked over to the other bag on the ground. Okami pulled out a pale blue tank top and put it on, then started to walk towards the kitchen. That was when she noticed Ruby.

That's right, SHE. Okami was a girl and a beautiful one at that. Ruby couldn't believe her eyes, how could she not have noticed? The last thing Ruby remembered was Okami's cute blushing on her cheeks and slightly parted lips before everything went black and the young girl fainted.

~ Okami ~

"Of all days I could have forgotten to lock the door, I just had to pick this one. Now look what happened, there's a teenage chick passed out on my floor."

As soon as Ruby fainted, Okami quickly rushed over to the young girl. She lifted her up and was surprised by how light the girl was. Okami carried Ruby over to her futon and laid her on top of it temporarily; Okami placed her hand over Ruby's forehead and felt that the young girl was burning up.

"Crap, she has such a high fever." Okami whispered to herself.

"Bark!"

"I know I can't just leave her like this! I may be part wolf but I'm still human too!"

"Grrr?"

"No, I don't want to talk about this right now! In case you haven't noticed, there is an unconscious girl in our room!"

*I know you guys probably think Okami is crazy at this point, but please just wait. She will explain it soon.*

Okami quickly rushed to one of her bags and pulled out some old clothes of her's. Then as best as she could without looking she dressed Ruby in black boys' gym shorts and a red tank top. Okami then placed Ruby under the sheets of the futon and went to the bathroom to get a wet cloth. When she returned, Urufu made herself comfortable on Ruby's stomach sleeping quietly. The scene of the two of them made Okami smile a little, she then placed the cloth on Ruby's forehead and laid down and took a nap herself.

Okami's dream was a memory from her past, how she got Urufu to be exact. Okami was raised by wolves, literally raised by wolves. The wolf faunuses lived in a large village in the middle of the Dark Shadows Forest and they had their unique traditions. One of the traditions was that once a faunus comes of age they were to pick a new born wolf to be their companion for the rest of their life. It sounds much easier than it really is, to pick a companion both the souls of the faunus and wolf must connect with each other. With this special connection it allows the souls to have a deeper connection, for example, communication. They may not speak the same language, but they are perfectly capable of understanding their words and read the other's thoughts and emotions.

Four years ago Okami didn't know who her parents were until much later, she was now 12 and came of age. Traditionally, the ceremony was held once a year and was performed publicly to the whole village and the faunus' parents or guardians must present them to the Alpha. That same year the Alpha's daughter was presented by her mother while Okami was presented by the two wolves that raised her, later Okami would learn about her connection to the people around her but not yet. The Alpha's daughter, Tsume, chose the strongest and healthiest wolf cub to be presented. Urufu was from the same litter as Tsume's cub but was abandoned by her parents. "Just like me." Okami thought to herself. She was the "defected" one in the litter and has stayed the same size as from birth, she wasn't strong but her soul connected with Okami and they had stayed together ever since.

"Four years have already passed… I remember it all like it was yesterday."

When Okami woke up it was already 1 in the morning, so she decided to let Ruby stay for the night and went back to sleep. Her unpleasant memories were turning her dreams into nightmares. Luckily for her, Okami awoke to the sound of knocking at her door.

"Hold on a second!" She called out while trying to put on her guy clothes.

"Urufu, quick go hide!"

The wolf understood and quickly went back into her doghouse as soon as Okami called out, "It's open!"

The door slowly opened to reveal a girl with ember eyes and a black bow.

Okami recognized her and greeted her in her own special way. "Why hello there beautiful. Blake, was it?"

Blake nodded her head in approval, "Surprised you remember my name. I'm looking for Ruby, have happen to see her?"

Okami pointed at the occupied futon and Blake understood the situation.

"How about I get us some drinks and talk for a bit?" Okami asked with a smile.

Blake just nodded without saying anything and sat in the same chair Ruby was sitting in before.

"I guess she's not one to talk much."

Okami poured two large glasses of milk and handed one to Blake before sitting down across from her. Okami was staring at the big black bow and couldn't hold herself back anymore.

"I'm sorry but I have to ask, what color are they?"

"What color are what?" Blake asked before taking a big drink.

"What color are your ears under that bow?"

Blake spit tanked all over the floor.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Okami asked with a smug look on her face.

Blake was now glaring up at her. "How did you know?"

"You're drinking milk while practically purring and reek of catnip." Okami said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I'm a wolf faunus, remember? I have a high sense of smell."

"Are you really?" Blake asked eyeing her from head to toe. Blake smiled when she got a scared expression from Okami.

"Don't tell me she knows, how could she have figured it out?

"What are you trying to say?" Okami asked as smug as she could.

Blake put down her glass and sat back in her chair crossing her arms. "Your hair is two toned instead of a solid color, that normally only happens if your specific animal also has two color tones of fur. Wolves' eyes are normally ember with a small tinge of green, yours are blue. Then lastly there are your teeth; you have sharp fangs, but I'm also a faunus but I only have one obvious animal like trait. Okami, you aren't a normal faunus… So then what are you?"

"How the hell did she figure it out? She already knows… I guess there's no point in hiding it anymore."

It took Okami a short while to answer, and when she did she didn't answer the question directly. She let out a deep sigh before she spoke.

"…Black the Beast Descends from Shadows..."

This took Blake by surprise as she had a puzzled expression and responded with a "Huh?"

"It means that I'm a monster to both humans and faunuses…"

Okami finally made eye contact with the faunus before her. "You are correct in some parts. I'm not an ordinary faunus, but my animal is a wolf. It would be too much to explain."

"Well, then it's a good thing I like learning new information." Blake said with a smile.

"Do you really want to know? I would have to start my story from the beginning."

"I have time to kill." Blake said as she placed her palm under her chin to support her head.

Okami took a few moments to sort out her thoughts trying to figure out the best way to explain. She then took a deep breath before she spoke.

"Blake, do you know how the faunuses came to be?"

"I can't say that I do, no one really knows honestly."

"I know how, so does the rest of the wolf faunuses."

Blake was now intrigued by what she has to say. "Please explain."

"The same time humans came into this world animals appeared as well. Man wasn't born together, or at least not all of them. Some humans were separated from each other with their animal being their only companion. Eventually, these humans fell in love with their animal and even though didn't do the act they created children. These children walked, talked, looked, and acted like humans but had certain animal traits. Some had animal ears, some had fangs, and the others had fangs but they all also had animal like abilities as well. These children became known as 'faunus'."

Blake looked a little confused and asked, "That makes sense for back then, but what about now?"

"After a long time of this process, humans started to discriminate animals and faunuses and they passed laws forbidding humans to have children with animals or faunuses. The faunuses became outraged and within their own community forbade having children with humans and animals. The wolf faunuses decided to live in solitude with their animal and learn more in their ways."

Blake nodded in understanding but still looked a bit confused. "I see, but how does all of this relate to you?"

Okami kept quiet for a little bit, she wasn't really sure how to tell her. This is the first time she ever told anyone about her past and it was making her nervous.

"A little over 16 years ago, the Alpha of my village, Kenji Kiba, fell in love with a human and they had a child. He kept it a secret from the village and had wolves raise his child for him inside the village, however humans heard about the woman having a child with a faunus and killed her on the spot. This devastated Kenji and he decided that no one should have to experience something like that ever again, so he and some others created an organization called 'Shiroi Kiba'. In human tongue, humans and faunuses know it as the 'White Fang'…"

Blake's eyes widened in surprise with this new information, but she still wasn't satisfied. "That still doesn't explain my question."

"Soon after he created the White Fang, Kenji became Alpha and was forced to marry another faunus and had a daughter. Three years ago he died of illness and on his death bed he announced the existence of his first child and passed his name onto the kid as well. Later, that child was forced to leave mostly because the poor kid was half human and half faunus…"

Blake's expression softened and didn't say anything. Okami knew that she figured it out, but she said it anyway.

"Here it goes…"

"That child was me… Okami Kiba."

Blake looked like she was feeling guilty, but she continued to listen to Okami.

"As you have noticed, I have traits that are more human than animal. The cause of it is my mixed blood. My only physical animal traits are my ears and fangs, but by being raised by wolves I have more abilities even more advanced than an average faunus. But I'm still rejected everywhere by both faunuses and humans alike…"

When Okami finished talking she started to cry. She was so wrapped up in her emotions that despite just talking to her she completely forgot about Blake. She sobbed into her hands for a solid five minutes until she felt a warm body wrap around her from behind. Okami then remembered that she had guests so she wiped away her tears and straitened herself out.

"I'm sorry you had to see that. I've never told anyone about my past before."

"It's fine, I'm sorry I pushed you to tell me your past when I barely even know you." Blake spoke in a smooth and calming voice. "It's not a good idea to move Ruby when she's like this, so I'll leave both of you alone for now." And with that she started walking to the door but before she left she looked over her shoulder and spoke once more. "By the way, when you quickly changed your clothes you forgot to wrap your chest. It's not healthy for a young girl to do that, just be yourself. I understand you have your reasons, so I won't say anything." After that she left and closed the door.

"Crap, just how much does she know about me?" Okami was deep in thought when she was startled by a voice that called out, "Okami?"

Okami turned to see Ruby fully awake and sitting up. Okami stared at her and finally asked, "How much did you hear?"

"All of it, I woke up when you asked Blake what color her cat ears were."

"…Crap…"

"You said part of the reason you were forced to leave mostly was because of your mixed blood, but what was the other reason?" Ruby asked.

Okami debated whether or not to tell the girl, she decided to and responded with just, "I fell in love with the wrong person."

"Are you a lesbian?"

"Yes." Okami responded quickly without thinking.

Fifteen minutes of awkward silence pasted while Okami silently swore to herself until Ruby spoke.

"Okami, I need you to do something for me…"

Okami turned and looked at her when she said, "Sure, what's wrong?" She thought Ruby needed something like a glass of water and was surprised by Ruby's response.

Ruby turned to Okami and looked her in the eyes. Her silver eyes were soft in a pleading way and her face was bright red from blushing. They stared at each other like that until Ruby finally spoke again.

"Okami… I need you to kiss me…"
