Blake getting her revenge on Yang? Ruby finally receiving her photos from Weiss? An old alliance being (re)formed? Yes, the longest chapter of the series has it all! As usual, leave a review if you liked it and fav it if you REALLY liked it.

"What!? Blake, what are you doing!?" Yang exclaimed as she bucked around, trying to break her hands free. She had expected Ruby to be behind the attack; not Blake. After briefly reflecting on her actions towards the faunus over the past few days, Yang decided she would much rather be at the mercy of her sister.

"Remember when you tied me up and tortured me until I joined your team?" Blake asked happily, "Well, now the tables have turned". As she observed Yang struggling against the ropes that bound her, Blake couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.

Yang started to panic. She vividly remembered the day she had 'convinced' Blake to abandon Weiss and team up with her. She doubted the faunus had forgotten about that incident. In an attempt to maintain her bravado, she forced herself to laugh. "HA! You're going to torture me? What are you gonna do, read me a book?". Blake frowned and continued her explanation.

"As I was saying, you've made me do all your dirty work while you relax. Then, you drag me out of bed to do 'missions' that end with itching powder all over my clothes," she said, beckoning to her current outfit, "Well now, it's payback time! You're going to say your sorry fo-"

"And what if I don't?" Yang asked with mock curiosity.

"Then I'll torture you," she answered, "Trust me, when I'm done with you, you'll be begging for merc-"

"How about we make a deal?" Yang offered, "You untie me right now, and I won't tell anyone about that book I found under your pillow… I think it was called Ninjas of Love". Blake's face fell, and for a moment Yang thought she had won.

"H-how do you know about that?" Blake stammered, caught off guard by Yang's offer. She had worked so hard to keep the book hidden from her teammates. Of course, she should have realized that her pillow was inadequate hiding spot; especially when her teammates included the infamously nosy Yan Xiao Long.

Yang, who had regained some of her confidence, kept pressuring Blake to free her. "That doesn't matter… what matters is that you need to untie me so tha-".

"So that you can keep blackmailing me?" Blake interjected, regaining her composure "I think it would be easier to just make you agree to never tell anybody about what you found". Crap! Yang thought when she realized she had just dug herself a deeper hole.

"Wait, you don't have to do this Blakey" Yang said, trying to reason with the black-haired teen, "We're a really good team! Blake and Yang, Yang and Blake… we're like a bee! Yeah, a Bumbleby!"

"Don't be silly, Yang. That's more like a ship name for us than a team name," Blake said as she sat down on Yang's legs, effectively pinning her in place. Yang struggled for a little bit, but then ceased her efforts and sighed.

Almost immediately, Blake's eyes were drawn to Yang's hair. The brawler was infamous for loving her hair, which made it the ultimate tool for controlling her. There's so many thing I could do to her, Blake thought evilly, I don't even know where to begin.

"W-what are you gonna do to me, Blakey?" Yang asked nervously as Blake started to gently stroke her golden locks. The faunus ran her fingers through the thick mop, taking note of how Yang's confident personality melted away as soon her prized hair was threatened.

"Don't worry about it," Blake responded, "all you need to know is that we're about to have a LOT of fun".

"Oh… my…" Ruby stared in disbelief at her phone, not sure how to feel. She had been walking back to her dorm room when a phone beeped, signifying she had just gotten a message. "Message from Weiss Schnee". Ruby had silently hoped for it to be the photo she desperately wanted, and turned on her phone. For a minute, all she could do was stare at what Weiss had sent her.

The heiress had definitely complied to "Neptune"'s request. However, in a move that was very unlike herself, she chose a rather… revealing costume to pose in. Although she was shocked, Ruby couldn't help but giggle at how uncomfortable Weiss looked. She had a smile that was so obviously fake it made Ruby cringe, and was striking a pose that was equally cringeworthy.

"I… I can't show this to anyone…" Ruby muttered sadly. No matter how badly she wanted to embarrass the heiress, she knew showing everybody the photo, it might jeopardize their relationship. Plus after the bathroom incident, Ruby doubted Weiss needed another prank that goes too far to deal with. However, she couldn't reveal to the heiress that she was pretending to be Neptune. Weiss would probably kill her before dying of embarrassment if she discovered it was Ruby she had sent the photo to.

"I need to find Weiss," Ruby said to herself, "Think Ruby… where would Weiss be? Oh! She might still be at the costume store!". With that, Ruby darted out of the building; completely unaware that just a few doors down, her sister was in absolute hell.

"Ohohoho mahahan thahahat tihihickles!" Yang giggled. Blake thought back to when Yang had put her in a similar predicament; tickling her into submission. Although the brawler had tried to deny it, it became quite obvious that she was VERY ticklish. In fact, she bucked around so much that Blake was having trouble staying on top of her.

"So, does it tickle more when I do… this?" Blake asked as she poked into her friend's sides. Yang bit down on her lip, successfully holding in her laughter, "Or when I do… this?". Blake ran her fingers around Yang's abdomen, causing the latter to burst out laughing.

"PFFAAHAHA STAHAHAP IHIHIT! THIHIHIS IS TOHOHHORTURE!" Yang pleaded as Blake assaulted her midsection. After ten minutes of tickling, Yang was starting to lose her fighting spirit. To be fair, Blake had only lasted around two minutes when it was her on the receiving end of the torture.

Blake momentarily complied, and stopped tickling the brawler. Yang gasped for breath as her red cheeks slowly returned to their normal colour. "Do you want me to stop?" Blake asked, feeling a bit of sympathy for the blonde. Yang nodded furiously, still trying to catch her breath. Blake grinned and pulled out her scroll. "Ok, all you need to do is say a few things for me," she stated as the voice recorder on her device opened. "First, I want you to say 'I'm a ticklish little schoolgirl".

Yang groaned. "Blaaake," she whined, "this is embarrassing". Blake shrugged and drove her finger's into Yang's stomach. "NOHOHOH OHOHOHOK I'M A TIHIHICKLISH LIHIHITTLE SCHOOLGIRL! THERE, I SAID IHIHIHIT! OHOHHO MAHAHAHAN STAHAHAHAP". Blake took her hands off of Yang's torso and grinned.

"Yes. Yes you are," she said happily, "Now, say 'I have a crush on Cardin". Yang gagged, and looked up at her partner in disbelief.

"Winchester!? Ew!" she exclaimed, "There is no way I'm going t-OHOHOH NOHOHOHO I HAHAHAVE A CRUSH ON CARDIHIHIN!". Blake listened to the recording, then set her scroll down again. "Can I go now?" Yang asked, "I think you've had your fair share of reve-"

"No" Blake replied coldly, "I want you to promise me you'll forget about my book".

"Woah, woah, woah," Yang said, "I've discovered one of your smutty bo-"

"It's not smut!" Blake exclaimed, "It's a highly sophisticated romance novel".

"Ok, sure. But you expect me to NOT tease you about it? That's just cruel". Blake's eyes narrowed and her hands moved dangerously close to Yang's stomach.

"You're not really in a position to be teasing" Blake threatened. Despite her situation, Yang smiled playfully at the faunus.

"That's sounds like something a smut-reader would say". Blake thought about what that meant for a second, then growled in frustration and relentlessly dug into the flesh under Yang's ribs, sending the blonde into hysterics.

"HEHEHE SMUHUHUT READER!" Yang teased, sticking her tongue out at her attacker. Blake, finally losing patience, stopped the tickling and grabbed a fistful of Yang's hair.

Yang's teasing face instantly changed into a horrified expression. "Blake… please let go" she said softly as the faunus tugged lightly at the trapped strands. Blake smiled, mentally comparing herself to a puppeteer holding the strings of a puppet.

"Oh? What's wrong, Yang?" she asked in an innocent tone, pulling the hair back a little bit further. Yang whimpered, and moved her head forwards to lessen the strain on her treasured locks. "Ohhh, I get it. You want me to let go?". Yang nodded weakly, being very careful to not pull her head back too far. "Well, sorry… smut-readers don't have hearts". Blake slowly pulled the hair up until the strands were tight.

"So many things I could do…" Blake muttered, thinking out loud, "wouldn't it be ironic if I burned your hair?". Yang desperately shook her head in disagreement, staring at Blake with pleading eyes. "Yeah, you're right… I should just cut it".

Blake had to suppress a grin as Yang's eyes widened. The faunus whipped out Gambol Shroud and help the spike to Yang's trapped hair.

"Y-You wouldn't!" Yang shouted, "You're bluffing!".

"Wanna bet?" Blake asked, pushing the spike slowly into the strands of hair.

Finally, the resistance left Yang's eyes; after nearly 15 minutes of tickling and a few serious threats to cut Yang's hair, Blake had finally broken her. "No! Please Blake, d-don't do this," Yang begged, "I'm sorry I teased you about Ninjas of Love, I promise I'll never ever EVER tell anyone! I was j-just kidding, I w-wasn't gonna tell Rubes or Weiss a-about it! You gotta believe me!".

Blake smiled at the normally confident girl. "Yang… are you begging?" she asked, slightly shocked. Yang nodded frantically in response.

"Yes! I am! See what you've done? You've forced me to literally beg for mercy! Just please let go of my hair!"

Blake studied her for a second, then released the strands in her hand. Yang breathed a massive sigh of relief, and smiled thankfully at the girl straddling her torso.

"Learn your lesson?" Blake asked calmly as she got off of her prisoner.

"Oh yeah," Yang replied, "I learned that I should probably be a bit more scared of you. Now can you please untie me?". Blake laughed and complied, undoing the bonds that bound Yang's hands. The brawler rubbed her wrists with a sore expression on her face. "So… clean slate?".

"Clean slate" Blake agreed, "Just remember what'll happen if you don't keep yourself in check" Blake slowly ran her fingers through Yang's hair, causing her to tense up. The blonde nodded to signal she got the idea.

Weiss Schnee skipped into the dorm room, feeling the happiest she had felt in a long time. Today had been a good day for one sole reason; Neptune had admitted he had a crush on her. Well, he didn't technically say he had a crush on her, but from the tone of his text messages, he definitely liked her. The only thing that was troubling her was what Neptune had requested her to do. Of course she trusted Neptune, but if that photo were to be leaked…

"Hey Weiss". The heiress snapped out of her thoughts and looked up. Blake was sitting on her bed, holding a book. Weiss could tell by the faunus' facial expression that there was clearly something she wanted to talk about.

"What's wrong Blake?" she asked kindly. Blake looked at her apologetically and put her book down.

"I'm really sorry about the bathroom thi-"

"DON'T talk about that!" Weiss said suddenly, cutting Blake off before she could continue her apology, "Sorry, I just don't like being reminded of it". Blake put awkwardly put her arm around Weiss, and continued,

"I thought we were a pretty good team," she said, "I thought that you might want to… team up again?". Weiss stared at Blake's hopeful face, thinking of what to do.

"What about Yang?". A mischievous grin flashed onto Blake's face, making Weiss raise her eyebrow suspiciously. "What did you do, Blake?".

"Don't worry about it," Blake responded calmly, sticking out her hand "So… what do you say?". Weiss considered for a moment, then shook her teammate's hand.

"Alright, why not?".
