Carefully out of tone guitar? Check

Lyric with all the politically improper stuff? Ohh you betcha.

I stepped in front of the mirror and gave me a last-minute do-over. Loosen up the tie, wrinkle the shirt a bit more….just perfect to annoy some OCD heiress.

The team was at the cafeteria sharing the table with RWBY team. When I arrived with the guitar, Yang clapped her hands.

-"I knew you couldn't get enough of this…" And run her hands down her body.

I was distracted by some cries.

The source was Sky, one of Cardin's minions. He was pulling the ears of a rabbit faunus while Cardin boyo was eating and reading from his scroll.

I sent him a message: Get some brownie points, some faunus girl I know is watching.

Cardin's response was immediate.

Can't man, I would be seen as being in favour of "animals".

I hit him where it hurts.

For shame...she is a cat faunus…

He dropped the scroll as if scalded by hot water and grabbed Sky by the ear. It was amusing to see an ear grab choo-choo in the middle of the cafeteria.

He spoke without shouting, but loud enough to be heard by some cat girl in the audience.

-"Sky, why are you harassing your sister?"

Sky's face was thunderous.

-"This beast is no sister of mine!"

The back of Winchester's hand performed some percussive maintenance on his ideas.

-"She took the Hunting Oath. As you did. As I did. She is OUR sister now."

Racism was strong on this one.

A couple of backhand slaps fixed that alright.

Cardin addressed his other two lackeys.

-"Please escort him to our dorm. I'm afraid I was remiss on my duties as leader. I shall endeavour to fix it."

The guys hauled ass.

I looked up at Miss Belladona's reaction. She was on the edge of her seat.

I sent her a text as well.

If someone from Winchester's bloodline can see a Faunus as a Sister in Arms...
What else could be achieved with a sweet word on his ear?

I swear to Oum, I could see hope ignite in her eyes.

Pyrrha was blinking slowly.

-"Did I just see ...a Winchester of all people...defend a faunus?"

Nora put down the Syrup bottle she was guzzling down.

-"That was crazy."

We all looked at her.

She put her hand to her chest.

-"I KNOW about crazy."

We all exchanged glances.

-"Anyways…"

I prepped my right foot on the bench, cleared my throat and plucked a note.

-"This is for you -" I stared Miss Schnee right into her eyes. "- my Snow Angel."

Ruby Rose squealed and all of the cafeteria usual noise died down.

I started offnote and Belladona's hidden ears twitched under her bow.

-"Some say you are puuuuuuuuuuuurfect

they never saw the scar on youuur faaaace"

Miss Schnee gasped and Pyrrha covered her mouth.

"Some say you are an aaaaaaaaannngel

they never met you laaaate for classs

then you are craaaaaazyyy…."

Ruby snickered and Weiss pressed her lips into a thin line.

"Your sister may be taaaaaaall

but you are so smol, smol smooool smol"

Now Yang was fighting back tears.

"You could be back in your castle, castle, castle

but you gonna be in the muuuuud

with peasants in your claaaaaass"

Lie Ren, descendant of a line of long suffering aides of the Arc line, was kicking me from under the table and mouthing silently

RUN

Now for the grand finale, and a proper refusal with all these witnesses.

"They say you got eeeeverything

but I know

You miss your mother's love.

And nooooo oone can giiiive it baaaaack."

Weiss Scnhee stood up with her eyes closed and when she spoke, it was like frigid winter chilling to the bone.

-"I have been serenaded under the new moon by Charles Di Ferrara using a Stradivarius, chanting the immortal tanzas of The Bard himself. And this -" Her full frame shook with barely unrestrained fury.

YES! REBUFF ME! I BEG YOU!

I added a smile, a wink and fired a finger gun at her.

The Ren man dragged his hand across his face.

Schnee growled.

-" ...this travesty. That instrument's wailed under your abuse, you can not hit a tune even if your life depended upon it. And that crass bastardized lyric…"

Tears started to run wild, tearing mascara in their trail.

Any time now!

"... touched me like no one before."

Huh?

She smiled, and her teary face looked all too alluring.

-"You see me for me. My scars, my defects. My CHOICE to be a huntress."

She came closer.

"You, who lost your father, truly know my loss."

Her soft lips found my cheek.

No

Noooo

NOOOOOOOO
