《The Awakened One, Book 1: Remnant》Chapter 47: The Snake And The Tiger

(Y/N) and his new partner watched as an intense argument was unfolding before the both of them, the perpetrators of the aggressive exchange were also a mystery to them, but for some reason (Y/N) felt a connection with the angered duo. “Fuck you, I’ll do whatever the fuck I wanna do and I will do it with whoever I want to do it to! You’re not my mother, not my father, nor are you my Master, sso as far as I am conccerned you have no ssay in the choiccess that I make!” The girl that hissed in anger had a sickly-sweet, high-pitched voice that gave off the impression of an adorable girl that could easily convince anyone to do what she wanted with tone of voice alone. With every ‘S’ word she spoke, her pink, forked tongue shot from her lush lips, flicking rapidly in the air until it returned to her mouth.

“I may not be any of those things, however there is an order of superiority that you must follow. I don’t care who you believe yourself to be, you must follow rules, laws, and orders! And in this circumstance, I am the law, I put rules in place, and I am ordering you to follow them.” The woman that responded in a calm tone had an incredibly sultry, almost motherly tone of voice and as she spoke her vocal cords softly grumbled with every word, slightly growling out each and every statement she made.

The girl was forced to hold in a laugh at the woman’s statement, holding her hand to her mouth to suppress a chuckle from escaping her lips. “You? The Law? Don’t make me laugh kitten” she chuckled out as she recovered from her laughter. The small insult was not missed as the woman with the sultry voice scrunched her face slightly in irritation, revealing her fanged teeth and glaring at the smaller girl. “You ssimply wish to control me! Fuck orders, fuck laws, and fuck your dumbass rules! I am the ruler of my own existence and I make my own choices regardless of thossse who try to bound me!” The intense atmosphere of the room turned from argumentative to aggressive in an instant, and the air of the environment turned toxic as the two woman stared daggers into the eyes of one another.

“You are a sly, rebellious snake who knows not of her place” the woman growled in response, clenching her fists and radiating electricity with every further word she spoke. “It is clearly my duty as the righteous one to educate you on your place amongst our Streak.” Even as she spoke in a deadly even, calm voice the rumbling of her growling undertone reverberated throughout the air, and it was clear to everyone present that the issues between these two were not going to end in a peaceful manner.

The girl with the forked tongue slightly reeled back in surprise at the older woman’s words, but once she recovered her anger had skyrocketed and she was barely able to stop herself from shaking with rage. “Was that a threat? Are you threatening me?” The smaller girl asked the questions with a closed mouth, hissing every word as she tried her best to contain her anger at the woman.

“I don’t make threats snake; I simply identify what it is I am willing to do in order to correct the paths of those I care for.”

“You make me laugh! Care for? You don’t give a damn about me; you just want me out of the way so you can have my Master all to yourself! I will fight and kill you to take my rightful place as Master’s Queen!” The girl’s hair began to rise as she spoke, her hands opened up to reveal her pale white palms and her crimson eyes began glowing brightly. “Don’t think that you are more powerful than me because of your level or that your somehow my superior since you knew my Master first!” The atmosphere surrounding the duo began fogging as shadowy, black smog began filling the air around the girl, creating a light cloud that the group could barely see her through.

The larger woman visually angered at the girl’s words and in response to them she asked, “your Master? No, he is our Master, or he is MY Master, but he is not your Master! Correct yourself!” For the first time, the woman raised her voice and she roared at the girl, thundering blue sparks shocked through the air as she did so. The electricity didn’t come and go, instead they permeated the cloudy air like active lighting in a storms cloud, as her clawed fists clenched further her body began coursing with the same electricity that littered the rooms air.

“He is MY Master” the girl yelled as red magic circles began filling the surrounding space.

“No, he is not!” The woman responded as the wind in the room whipped into green blades, lifting clothes, pens, chairs, and anything else that wasn’t heavy enough to withstand the force.

“Yes, he is!”

“No, he isn’t!”

“YES, HE IS!”

“You may think that he belongs to you but that is far from the truth! He belongs more to me than he ever will you, I came first, I was loved first, and I will remain first! After I put you in your place you are more than welcome to Love him as much as you wish from seat number two!” The ground suddenly erupted in flaring blue electricity paralyzing everyone it touched, and the woman’s azure eyes glew brighter than they ever had.

The other girl remained unfazed as her body began glowing with crimson magic circuits that traced her form, connecting as they reached the center piece that was on her forehead. “You may have come first but that doesn’t mean that he belongs to you either! I may not have been loved first, but I understand that Master loves me more than he’d love anyone else and that includes you! So, if you love my Master so much, you can give him all the love you want to after I swallow you whole and turn you into my Disciple!”

The tension and aggression in the room had peaked, demonic red eyes began peaking through the black smog that surrounded the girl and fully formed wind blades and flashes of powerful lightning appeared around the woman, but before either of them was able to strike they heard a loving, soothing, enamoring voice that they couldn’t forget even if they wanted to. “Ayo, what the fuck is going on here?” The instant (Y/N)’s voice penetrated the aggression in the air and reached the women’s ears, they immediately stopped everything they were doing. The glow that illuminated from their crimson and azure eyes stopped, the wind that kicked up the loose objects in the room vanished, the black cloud that surrounded the girl dissipated, the current of blue lightning that ran across the ground disappeared, the magic circuits that ran along the girl’s body were deactivated, and the woman’s form was no longer clad in blue lightning. In an instant the room went from loud and destructive to silent and docile as both women immediately turned to face the one that spoke.

“Master/Master!” They yelled simultaneously as they saw the man and joyous smiles ran across their faces, however once they saw their Master’s face their smiles began to dissipate. Their Master looked at the both of them with confusion and concern evident on his face. The Faunus woman that clung on to his to his arm looked at the duo in the same way except she was far more confused and interested than anything else. Immediately following the sudden realization that their Master had returned and was looking at them with anything but a smile, was the immense regret that came with being caught in an extremely unsightly display.

(Y/N) took a deep look at the two of them, now clearly recognizing who they were but still confused on how they had transformed in such an extreme way in such a short amount of time. “Byakko,” he said as he looked at the very, very tall woman, “Lilith,” he began as he looked at the smaller girl, “firstly I need both of you to calm down and explain to me why you both got so hype in the first place. There is no reason for you two to be coming this close to fucking each other up, at all. Secondly, what happened to you both, you look really different? But, before you explain anything, let’s get settled down.”

“Yes Master/alright Master” they quickly responded. (Y/N) with Blake still attached to his arm walked into the now messy room and they quickly saw the rest of his lovers in the room simply minding their own business as if nothing at all had happened. Nix, Weiss, Pyrrha, and Neo were sitting in the center of the large bed laughing, talking, and joking with one another. Standing by the bathroom was Scarlet and Neyah, and Scarlet was explaining something about how businesses that sell Dust operate, but once they noticed that their lover had returned, they quickly bombarded him with love, affection, and questions.

Neo was the first to reach him as she turned her eyes from the group and laid them upon the Adonis that was her Savior. Her eyes glew brightly with joy and she immediately leaped from the bed, doing a quick summersault, and landed softly on her Saviors shoulders with her crotch up to his face and her legs wrapped around his neck to secure her in place. She then began gently stroking his soft ears and backed up off his head to look down into his eyes with an expression of surprise. Before he could respond, he felt another body slam into his side opposite of Blake, “Darling you’re back” yelled Neyah as she slammed her body up against her lover, smothering her face in his side, and taking in his scent.

Nix quickly followed after her sister, hugging her lover from the front, lightly and lovingly rubbing her head up against his strong chest, and saying, “welcome back Babe. It is nice to finally see your traits in full display and it is also nice to see you again Miss Belladonna” Nix said as she turned to face Blake.

The cat Faunus perked up when she saw the Priestess and Warrior, so she removed herself from her lovers arms and bowed to the women, “it is nice to see you both in good health Honorable Priestess Nieva and Honorable Warrior Neyah, I heard that you both were in quite an accident on your way to Sanus.”

Neyah then turned to face the woman and said, “come on Blake, we’ve known you damn near our entire lives, you can cut the honorable bullshit.”

“Yes Blake, your family has always been like a second home to us, your mother and father have been very kind to assist us since the passing of the Clan. There is no need for honorifics or formalities between us, you’re like a sister to the both of us in many ways, and by the way you were clinging to (Y/N) it would appear that you are a sister in another way as well” Nix spoke as she chuckled slightly.

“Oh yeah, how’d you get here? I thought you were deep undercover with the White Fang or something?”

Blake looked a tad bit embarrassed as she was already outed about her involvement with the White Fang, but as she looked around nobody seemed to mind, not even the Schnee that was shocked still as she stared at her lover’s swaying tails. So, instead of focusing on her surrounding companions she homed in on the question that her sisters asked her. “Well, it might take a moment for me to answer that question, it’s kind of a long story if you wanna hear it.”

“Yeah, we got time, come over here and explain” Neyah said excitedly as she pulled Blake and Nix aside so she could explain the full story to them, and once they removed themselves from their lovers embrace, (Y/N) managed to twist Neo around his head so she sat on his shoulders without covering his face.

“It’s nice to see you again as well Neo” he said as he reached up and gently pinched her cheeks. As he was raining a little but of praise and affection onto Neo, Scarlet approached him from the same side as Neyah and reached around to his butt, playfully pinching him on his rear. “Aye watch it, no need to get too handsy with me” he said jokingly.

“Oh, my bad Hon, you know how I get around cute butts, I just can’t help myself” she laughed out sarcastically. “But at the same time, you should know better not to just walk around with two tails swinging about,” she began as she peeped at his swaying tails, “may I?” Her question was fairly obvious to her Honey and her answer came in the form of a quick nod giving her the go ahead to stroke his tails. “Wow, they are incredibly soft Honey, are they sensitive to the touch?”

“I mean yes, but at the same time they are still very durable. It’s almost as though they are incredibly sensitive to pleasurable sensations but are still very resilient to negative feelings like pokes, prods, pinching, stabbing, and other things of that nature” he explained.

“Interesting” she said as she continued to play with her Honey’s tails. While Scarlet was busy with that, Weiss and Pyrrha walked over to their lover stopping just short of Neo’s swinging legs that were draped over his shoulders.

Weiss was still completely enamored by her Prince’s form, his beautiful horns, gorgeous eyes, adorable ears, roguish teeth, and mesmerizing tails were almost to much eye candy for her to absorbed at once, so instead of speaking she just stared. Pura on the other hand gleamed with a beautiful smile as she bent over slightly to place a chaste kiss on her lover’s lips and as she broke the showing of affection she softly said, “welcome home Hubby, it is very nice to see you again.”

“It is always nice to see you all again and if it was an option, I would spend 100% of my time with you all. You are of course included as well Princess,” he said as he wrapped the girl in a warm embrace and left a sweet kiss on her forehead that broke her from her stupor.

As the princess was broken from her cursed hypnosis, she stared up into her Prince’s enamoring eyes and unknowingly whispered, “such pretty eyes.”

(Y/N) was slightly taken aback by her comment, but a smile quickly made its way on to his face and he replied with, “thank you Princess, but my eyes still aren’t even half as beautiful as yours.”

A deep red blush immediately rushed its way across the girls face, turning her pure white skin a deep crimson shade as she attempted to recover from the compliment. She quickly stopped staring into her lover’s eyes and turned her head to hide her face from him , “th-that was s-so corny! But…. thank you” she whispered as she recovered from her embarrassment. After a moment of laughter from the smaller group, Weiss said “I didn’t know that you were a Faunus, but then again that isn’t the most surprising thing in the world. Although it is very interesting that you were able to so easily hide your features so well for so long. That reminds me, where did you go earlier? You kind of just disappeared from the group in the middle of us walking the building.”

That question prompted Pura to speak up with her thoughts as well, “yes Hubby, we were incredibly worried when you suddenly disappeared without warning. We had thought that something was wrong, and we were going to try our best to find and assist you, but at the same time of you departure Byakko and Lilith began undergoing their… changes so to speak.” It was at this moment that the groups attention turned to the duo that was currently straightening up the room, getting everything nice and tidy before they ‘settled down’ as their Master told them to, and during this entire process that they worked in perfect sync with one another, however they didn’t speak a single word to each other, still irritated at the events that transpired.

(Y/N) turned back to Weiss, Pyrrha, and Scarlet to ask the question that was on his mind since he entered the room, but first he answered the question that Weiss had asked him. “Well, as you both already know, Lilith and Byakko went through a ‘little’ transformation and at the same time I was going through something similar, I kinda, turned into a Faunus. I know that makes zero sense right now but after I explain my entire situation to all of you I promise it’ll make even less sense, so just keep your questions to yourself now and I’ll try my best to clear everything up later. Point is, when I was undergoing my ‘transformation’ my Aura got sent back to me uncontrollably, so that is the reason that I suddenly disappeared on you guys, sorry about that. That reminds me though, what exactly happened between those two? It seems you guys are pretty good at ignoring it which is partially concerning.” As he asked his question, Scarlet motioned for them to sit down on the edge of the bed to continue their conversation, and he of course followed the gesture.

As their lover sat down, Neo moved from sitting on his shoulders to his lap, Scarlet sat cuddled up against his right side, Weiss occupied his left side, and Pyrrha sat with her breasts pressed up against his back, draping her arms over his shoulders, and resting her chin atop his head. Scarlet then began with, “as you have probably guessed by now, we are being incredibly apathetic to the women’s squabbles because, well, it’s been going on for so long.”

Pyrrha picked up after her and said, “indeed, after they finished their intense bodily changes we all chose to relocate to your temporary housing room to wait for your arrival. Both Byakko and Lilith had the immediate desire to travel to see you Hubby, but Scarlet and Glynda were able to convince them to stay so we were able to come back to the room with little issue.”

Weiss then followed with, “however once we returned to the room Glynda was forced to leave since she had some important business to attend to, so the rest of us were left in the room to wait for your arrival. It was at this time that Byakko and Lilith began bickering, not a screaming match but they seemed to have small disagreements about almost everything and those small disagreements eventually rose into a large argument about something, but we don’t know what it was about. Obviously once things got a bit heated, we separated them and tried to calm them down, and that worked for a moment, but after a while they just went back at it with one another. Lilith would yell, Byakko would calmy explain her stance, and nothing would get resolved, but even if we forced them to separate, they would still go at it with one another from across the room. Eventually Neyah just recommended that we let them hash it out and settle their differences, Nix and Neo agreed with the idea, I was bit hesitant since I figured that the angrier, they got at one another, the further they would get from the source of the issue, but with no better ideas we chose to let them talk it out.”

Scarlet then finished with, “eventually we just tuned out the argument to continue passing time in the best way possible, leaving them to bicker while we waited for you to arrive and you can see where that led them. It’s a good thing you came when you did, it really did appear that they were going to start fighting soon and I don’t know if any single person in this room could handle their strengths.”

After taking a moment to absorb the information that he was presented with, he turned his attention to his companion duo that had just finished tidying up the room that they had dirtied and after they finished, they looked over to their master and waited for him to give them their next order. “Byakko, Lilith, can you please come over here please and explain what happened between you two.”

Once they heard their Master’s gentle calming voice calling them over, they answered with a somber, “yes Master/ yes Master.” It was as the two of them ‘walked’ over to their Master that he was finally able to get a full, unobstructed view of the two beautiful women. Byakko was, surprisingly, incredibly gorgeous and it was due to the nature of her transformation that he found it so surprising. For starters, Byakko was no longer a quadrupedal, intelligent, female celestial white tiger, instead she was now an incredibly tall, enamoring, anthropomorphic tiger woman. Atop her head was shoulder length, silky white hair with black streaks running through its sleek form, and it was through this beautiful hair that two, pointed, tiger like ears came forth, each with fluffy white hair sprouting from their innards. She was a natural beaty and that fact was evident when he looked at her soft, humanoid, facial features. She had small eyebrows that were defined by the black fur that outlined the bottom of them, down the center of her face was a smaller, tiger like snout that extended into a cute pink nose, long whiskers, and a blackened mouth with bright white teeth. However, the true enamoring feature of her appearance is her deep, piercing, azure eyes that seemed to see directly into the windows of the soul. Enhancing her essential features were the same intricate, black designs that marked her facial features from when she was a cub, tattoo like lightning bolts, slices of winds, slashes of claws, and many other beautiful marks decorated her eyes and the rest of her face like honorable proofs of her strength and power.

Toping all of that off was her long, enchanting eyelashes that worked wonders in effeminizing the woman that walked before him, and that wasn’t the only feature that assisted in the process. Once he finished analyzing her gorgeous face, his eyes naturally trailed down to her body and it was then that he noticed that she had a clear clothing issue. Byakko’s entire tall, muscular, slender body was incredibly sensual to the sight, she had luscious curves, long legs, thick thighs, perky breasts, pink nipples, and an incredibly long tail that drooped and swayed with each step she took. Her entire naked form was covered in short, soft, pure white fur with black fur designs, too intricate to be called stripes, covering all but her exposed breasts, torso, abdomen, and front pelvis regions. Her hands were five digited with apposable thumbs and at the ends of each of her fingers were long, sharp claws in place of usual nails, but her feet on the other hand were entirely paw like, four deeply connected toes, each equipped with retractable claws that she left hidden as she walked. All in all the woman that stood before him was absolutely stunning, standing tall at 6’ 7’’ (2m), breasts and thighs jiggling with every step, and deep enamoring eyes that never left his gaze, Byakko had turned into a drop dead beautiful Faunus woman.

Lilith on the other hand did not take a single step forward, instead she slithered her long, smooth, scaley, muscular, black snake body across the ground to reach her desired destination. The girl’s body looked very similar to her other, much more recognizable, albeit larger, Basilisk form as the tip of her tail was still blood red and extending from the red tipped tail was a tattoo like crimson line that traveled all the way up the girl’s ‘spine’, disappearing behind her long white, black tipped hair. Speaking of her long hair, that wasn’t the only thing that changed about the new young Faunus woman, most notably of which would be the fact that she was no longer entirely snake, nor was she bipedal as previously explained. Instead, Lilith was now a Lamia like, half-‘human’ half-snake being and her ‘human’ half was truly a sight to behold. Unlike her sister, the consumer of worlds didn’t have a clothing issue and she wore beautiful, silky priestess like, black robe that was thin and light, so it gently swayed with her every move. The robes draped over her waist, connecting her snake body from her humanoid form, acting as a skirt or dress working to cover her private areas and across her midriff was a tightly tied, white, silk sash that showed her thin waist. Across her thin arms she wore loose white arm coverings that were tied to her biceps with black bows, it was because of this that the tanned skin of her upper arms and shoulders were completely exposed to the surrounding air. At the ends of the arm coverings were her dainty hands that were completely normal human hands, but her nails were a deep red coloring, and they were also unnaturally sharp.

Traveling up from her body, (Y/N) finally laid his eyes on the girl’s beautiful face and he was immediately taken aback by Lilith’s alluring appearance. She had long white hair with blackened tips that extended a bit passed the length of her robes, her eyes were large, rounded, and were a bright crimson that pierced into the heart of anyone she made contact with. The pupils of her crimson beauties were vertically slitted like that of a snake and to match her charming snake eyes, she had matching black scales on each of her cheeks giving her an intense deadly aura. Her lips were a bloody red as if they were covered in lipstick and her long retractable fangs shot from her mouth as she parted her lips, at the same time her pink, forked tongue took a quick smell from the surrounding air as she approached her Master. As mentioned before, Lilith was considerably ‘smaller’ than she was before, as now she was only about 22ft (7m) long with 4ft and a half (1.4m) coming from her huma length. However, as she slithered across the ground and eventually coiled a portion of her body to ‘sit’ in front of her Master, she stood at about 5’ 6’’ (1.7m) the additional height coming from her long tail supporting her humanoid form. Lilith had turned into a beautiful, adorable Faunus woman that (Y/N) couldn’t wait to speak to for the first time.

(Y/N) watched as Byakko sat politely on her knees in front of him, bowing slightly as to not look her Master in his eyes, and Lilith on the other hand coiled herself slightly with the rest of her long tail sprawled out across the room, allowing herself to ‘sit’ comfortably in front of her Master and his peers, but also remain subservient as she kept her height bellow her Master’s. Byakko’s face was full of regret, and she was clearly waiting for any moment to apologize for the showing that he saw when he first entered the room, however Lilith’s face remained completely straight, void of any and all emotions so even if she felt regret it didn’t show. As the duo finished settling down, Nix, Neyah, and Blake came back over to the rest of the group, sitting along the edges of the bed to listen in on the conversation that was soon to unfold. (Y/N) cleared his throat slightly before he began with, “the first thing I wanna say before anything else is you both look absolutely stunningly beautiful, and I want to congratulate you on your new forms” he spoke with a bright smile.

Lilith’s eyes widened slightly at the comment and the crimson tip of her tail began shifting back and forth uncontrollable, but her face remained mostly unchanged, Byakko purred as if her Master was gently stroking her ears for a moment before she dipped her head lower in a bow of respect. As she did so she softly spoke, “we did nothing to earn this transformation Master, all the thanks and praise belongs to you and you alone.”

Lilith followed after her sister’s words with a small eye roll, “thank you Master for the compliment, I’m exuberantly joyful that you find my new form to be attractive and it suits your liking. Also, I have to thank you for your congratulations as well, I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done if this change hadn’t occurred.” At Lilith’s words, Byakko shot the Lamia a quick side eye that wasn’t missed by either her Master or Lilith herself.

(Y/N) ignored Byakko’s gesture and just added it to the showings that proved the negativity of the relationship between the tiger and snake combo. “Well, I’m glad you like it so much Lilith, it is really nice to hear your voice for the first time as well, it is very adorable” he spoke with a small chuckle. Lilith’s tail shook more but her face remained unchanged at the compliment, and at the same time (Y/N) turned his attention to the bowing tiger, “Byakko, thanks for all the praise but really you helped along in this transformation as well, so you can’t really say that it was all me. Did you forget? You were right by my side when we helped Nix and Neyah, and that was when I got the first shard so technically, I wouldn’t have gotten the first shard if it wasn’t for you.” Byakko’s ears twitched as she remembered the event that her Master was referring to, and as she listened to the praise that she was receiving from her Master her tail swayed uncontrollably from side to side.

“Thank you, Master,” the tigress said with a slight bow.

“Byakko, there is no reason for you to bow and all that extra stuff, I don’t like seeing you with your head down, no buts. Also, your eyes are fucking gorgeous, and I would love it if I was able to see them while you talked to me.” Before she even refutes his suggestion, he refuted her refute, so Byakko lifted her head and flashed her deep blue eyes at her Master, a small smile escaping her lips at his flattery. “Alright, now let’s get down to what the fuck happened. Before you tell me anything I want to let you know that I am not mad nor am I disappointed in either of you, I swear. I’m honestly just confused because this isn’t the first time you both have had a confrontation, but it seemed like last time you resolved your issue and I thought that it would be the last time I’d see you both fight each other.”

(Y/N) waited for either of them to begin explaining but it seemed as though neither of them wanted to begin, however after a moment of thinking Lilith chose to speak first. “Byakko acts like she’s my master and because of that she tries to control me with orders, rules, and laws.”

Byakko quickly returned with, “false. That is untrue Lilith, Master, Lilith tries her hardest to be as rebellious as possible, doing things for her own sake instead of thinking about how it may affect the whole. She is selfish to a fault, making decisions to fuel her own benefit regardless of the consequence it has on others, and on top of all that she won’t even consider her own Master’s feelings when making decisions.”

Lilith then boar her fangs at the tigress, hissing as she responded, “thatss blasphemous! If anyone here is sselfish and doesn’t consider the consequences of their actions, it’s you! You think your superior to everyone else just because you knew my Master first, but you don’t even know how Master feels about it!”

Byakko angered slightly as she heard Lilith’s words and as she spoke the growling undertone began again, “I don’t believe that I am superior to anyone else because of the time of my birth and I don’t blame you for feeling inferior to me because of your jealousy at being created second, but one thing I will not tolerate is the implication that I don’t consider Master’s feelings in everything I do. Master is the only thing I think about when I make a choice, from sun up, till sun down he is the only thing on my mind, but I highly doubt you can say anything remotely similar, you selfish snake.”

“I do not view myself as inferior to anyone, but my Master and I am not jealous of a first born with a fear that her Master will be stolen from her by a snake with a better head on her shoulders! I consider Master’s feelings in all that is necessary on a far deeper level than you! Instead of thinking ‘what would Master say’ I think of what Master’s goals are, what would help him achieve those goals, how I can assist him in ways beyond being a yes woman!”

Byakko scoffed at her statement, “oh really? I wasn’t aware that forcing Master to mate you was apart of thinking about his future goals and assisting him far beyond being a yes woman.”

“What the fuck are you talking about? You’re the one that said you would be Master’s number one without even taking into account whether or not he viewed you in that light!”

“No, I did not!”

“Yes, you did!”

“No, I did not!”

“Yes, you did!”

The anger quickly grew between the two of them and soon they were back in each other’s faces ready to swing on each other again. Their Master quickly noticed where the confrontation was heading and he worked to separate the duo from one another, placing his hands on each of their heads before softly saying, “wait, wait, wait, I need both of you to calm down.” The instant they felt the warm comforting hand of their Master on top of their heads, they went from aggro to docile as they turned theirs attentions from each other to him. From listening to the two of them speak it seemed as though they had been arguing for so long that they had escaped the original topic of disagreement, and it was through this thought process that (Y/N) asked his next question. “Ok, what I need you two to tell me is what you both got mad at each other for in the first place? What is the origin of this ‘little’ disagreement?”

Lilith immediately said, “Byakko said that she took pride in being your number one woman and she was looking forward to being the first one to bear your child.”

Byakko followed with, “that is a lie Lilith.”

“No, it’s not, that is what you said!”

Seeing where this was going again, (Y/N) stepped in and said, “hold on, can you both please calm down again, I need both of you to take a deep breath before speaking again.” They of course listened to their Master’s order and took a deep calming breath, after they finished exhaling (Y/N) began with, “now that you are both calm, Byakko what about Lilith’s retelling was false?”

After finishing exhaling her breath, Byakko explained, “I did not say that I took pride in being your number one, or your favorite, Master, I simply said that I took pride in being your first-“

“That’s the same thing” Lilith mumbled under her breath, prompting her Master to give her a quick look, reprimanding her for her outburst. “sorry” she said quickly, giving the floor back to her sister.

“As I was saying, I took pride in being your first, the implication of it being that I was your first ‘born’ or first living/organic companion you had in Remnant. Lilith must have misunderstood the meaning of my statement” Byakko said as she side eyed the Lamia. “And for the second part, it is true that I said I was looking forward to being the first bearing your child, but that comment was preceded by ‘if Master would have me’, I never wished to force Master to do anything he didn’t want to” she said as she glared at Lilith.

(Y/N) face palmed as he listened to the topic of the conversation, but he kept his composure and asked, “then what was the issue you had with Lilith?”

“The qualm I had with Lilith was caused by her following my statement by saying that you would become her King and she would be Queen. The reason I dislike what she said was because her statement implied that Master had no choice in the matter and I also disliked the possessiveness of how she speaks about Master, it is as though she believes that she owns you.”

(Y/N)’s attention then turned back to the snake woman, “Lilith, what do you think about Byakko’s understanding of what you said?”

Lilith took a moment to think about everything that had transpired over the day and once she finished gathering it all, she came to a conclusion that she didn’t like very much. “Damn,” she began as she looked at her sibling, “I guess it was just a misunderstanding.” After a moment of silence, it seemed that Byakko understood what her sister was referring to and she quickly came around to the thought that their entire disagreement came from a difference in word use perspective. However, Lilith still needed to elaborate on the reasoning behind it, so she began with, “when I said that Master would become my King, I didn’t mean that he would be my mate, although I would like it if Master was. What I meant was in essence, my Master would become my King, which is a title of love, respect, and admiration that I have for one person, and I would try and become his Queen, which is essentially the same thing as the King title. I wasn’t trying to imply a forceful relationship with my Master, nor was I trying to act like I own Master, I just speak in absolutes. What is mine is mine, that doesn’t mean it can’t be yours as well. I apologize for the misunderstanding Sisster.”

Byakko’s eyes widened slightly as she saw the humility of Lilith and she quickly returned the sentiment. “I accept your apology, but I would also like to apologize as well for not questioning and trying to learn what you meant by your words. I was blinded by anger and because of it I didn’t try to understand you, I said things that I did not mean, and worse than all of those things, I severed the rapport that we had built over the passed few nights, I am sorry Sister.”

“I accept your apology, and to clear the air on the things that I said but did not mean, I would like to recant the terrible things that I have spoken throughout the day.”

“I would like to do the same as well.” The two new Faunus women spent the next few moments apologizing for the things that they said but did not mean, eventually becoming closer than they were the previous night that they spent with one another. As they finished with their apologies, they hugged it out, turned their attention back to their Master, and looked him deeply in his eyes as they said their final sorry for their actions.

“You don’t have to apologize to me, if you wanna say sorry to anyone say it to the other women in this room, they are the ones that had to listen to the argument.” The sisterly duo then took the time to apologize to everyone individually, including Blake, and everyone quickly forgave them as they said it was not a big issue.

(Y/N) was about to begin asking the girls questions about their transformation, but as soon as he began talking, he was swiftly interrupted with a very recognizable, gorgeous woman opening the room’s door and revealing herself to the group. Once she entered the room, her eyes immediately made their way to her lovers physical changes and she said, “you have some very adorable ears my love, and who is this cute Faunus woman?”

“Thank you, Glynda,” her lover responded as she walked up to the man and bent down to give him a chaste kiss his sweet lips. “Also, this is Blake Belladonna, she’s a student here this semester and she also needs a rank change” he said as the kiss broke.

Glynda pushed up her glasses slightly as she heard her lover’s ‘request’, “a rank change? Unfortunately, you know that is not something that I can put into to effect, the Headmaster controls all of that nonsense so it is far beyond my reach. If you want Blake’s rank to be bumped up a few notches, then you’ll have to see the man himself. By the way, Miss Belladonna, have you finished all of your registry requirements yet?”

Blake perked up as she was asked the question and she swiftly responded with, “no, not yet. The first place my Beloved took me after we got on campus was here, and we kinda just got here less than an hour ago” she explained calmly.

Glynda took a moment to think and after quickly finishing her thoughts she looked to the two Faunus and said, “well, we could go to Ozpin’s office now and finish up your registration. And as a matter of fact, while we are up there, we could discuss changing your Rank, although I have an inkling suspicion that that specific task will be allotted to you my love” Glynda smirkingly exclaimed.

(Y/N) rolled his eyes slightly at the thought and he turned to Blake as he said, “it’s your call Blake, we can go now and get this over with, or we can delay it a bit longer and do it tomorrow or something. Either way, I’m still gonna have to talk to Ozpin which I’m not exactly looking forward to” he spoke as he lightly rubbed the dread from his eyes.

Blake thought about it for a second before saying, “I would say let’s do it now, better sooner than later right?”

“Right” (Y/N) replied as he stood up, lifting Neo from his lap and gently placing her where he was sitting before. “Let’s hurry up and get this over with Blake” he said as he reached his arm out for her to grab onto and gentlemanly lifted her up too her feet. “Glynda if you would please show us the way I would be forever grateful” (Y/N) exclaimed with a mock bow that brought a small smile to the woman’s face.

“Of course, my love, feel free to follow me to your doom.” (Y/N) and Blake then gave a small goodbye to the rest of the lovers before Glynda led the duo out of the relatively small room and through the grandiose hallways of the massive building as they made their way to the Clock tower.
