The difference between Faunus and humans

(Hands up, this is a robbery, I want your ps now, or I'll add you in my Futa story where your taking it!)

After what happened last night, Sienna has been training us once again. Only this time, Pyrrha would be joining us.

Sienna was hesitant at first, since she didn't want to anger Ivory from hurting Pyrrha. But Ivory waved off her concern, telling Sienna that Pyrrha needs to understand the difference from a tournament fight, and a real fight.

"Alright, Pyrrha, since you are only focusing on subduing your opponent, you'll need to work on beating them." Pyrrha looked nervous at what Sienna said but nodded her head.

"Blake, you'll be against Aiko." The second Blake heard who I was going against, she paled in fright and looked at me with tears.

"Please don't hurt me." I just sighed, but soon grew a grin on my face. However, it was a kind smile, yet a threatening aura was surrounding me.

"Sorry sis, you know how Sienna is." I said with a kind voice, Blake looked at the ground and slumped forward, knowing I was going to go all out.

"I-is this safe?" Pyrrha asked Sienna, she nodded her head at her question and glanced at her.

"It is, since Aiko is a good healer." Sienna replied and soon returned her focus on me and Blake.

The two of us circled one another, Blake with her wooden sword, and me with nothing but leather gauntlets on my hands.

"Begin." Blake was the first to act, raising her sword above her while running at me. She then swung down with little force, not wanting to exhaust herself.

I tried to slam my palm against her body, but she placed the sword in between us, and jumped up to kick me.

I raised my arms to block her kick, but she was able to switch legs to hit me. The second her legs made contact against my side, I winced in pain and rolled onto the ground.

Pyrrha was ready to run to my side, but Sienna held her back. Shaking her head at Pyrrha's thought to come and help me.

"This is the difference with the two of us, you humans have a somewhat easy life." I then ran up to her and did an axe kick.

"But us Faunus, we face discrimination, are hunted like animals, and even forced to be beaten." Blake was then able to roll to the side and soon pushed herself up with her hands.

"This is why I train them ruthlessly, to protect themselves." Blake then gripped the sword in her hands tight, and thrusted it forward, I crossed my arms and blocked it.

"To fight back when necessary." The power Blake used was enough to send me skidding back a few feet, but I didn't yield.

I rushed at her again and thrusted both of my hands forward, Blake jumped up and tried to strike me from above, but I jumped as well, higher than her.

I then spun forward to gain momentum and tried to strike her to the ground, Blakes eyes widened at the attack, time slowed down for her trying to think on what to do.

'I need to dodge it, but how? Maybe I can use my sword? But I'll still be falling, maybe dodge? But what can I use?' The thoughts kept swirling in her mind, and soon, a single though appeared in her mind.

'I need another me.' The second she thought of that, she was pushed to the side by another her. The second version of her stayed looking up.

Blake was pushed to the ground and landed on her rear, seeing this happen in front of me, I was shocked at what happened.

Both Sienna and Pyrrha looked shocked as well, seeing another Blake take her place, while the original landed on the ground.

As my foot struck the doppelganger, it exploded and created a small force to push me into the air. Even as I landed on my back, I was still in shock at what happened.

"Aiko, Aiko, I found my semblance!" Blake shouted with excitement and ran to my side, shaking me with a large smile on her face.

Her shaking is what brought me out of my stupor, and I sat up and hugged her, I smiled and began to giggle at what happened and I began to rub her head.

Blake giggled as well, both Sienna and Pyrrha ran to us and hugged us as well. Pyrrha was giving Blake praises at what she accomplished, while Sienna looked at Blake with a proud smile.

"Good job you two, lets end early to celebrate." Both Blake and I had stars in our eyes and rushed inside, wanting to clean and eat.

Sienna chuckled at our reactions and soon began to follow us, Pyrrha was the last to enter, but she began to think to herself.

'Is it worse for them everywhere?' She thought to herself, but she was then brought out of her thoughts the second she heard her mother call her.

"Pyrrha, I need you to go out to get some groceries!" Ivory called out, she then arrived in the kitchen and smiled.

"Of course, mom, do I take Aiko and Blake?" She asked, Ivory then stepped into the living room with a smile.

"Of course, be careful on the way." She replied and soon returned to the kitchen.

POV PYRRHA

After waiting for the two of them to get ready, I was still thinking on what Sienna said back outside.

I knew the Faunus were treated bad here, but I couldn't know about the rest of remnant. I wasn't able to think once I heard Aiko and Blake running.

"Aiko, let's go, we can still make it to the docks!" Blake shouted; Aiko was somehow running on all fours with drool coming out of his mouth.

"I don't think we can make it, it takes us three minutes to get there, and they close at nine!" He shouted back, Blake then looked at her scroll in panic.

"We only have ten minutes!" Aiko's face was full of despair, he landed on his knees and placed his hands on his head.

"That's not enough time to figure out which fish is fresh!" Blake replied, the two of them then opened the door, and gripped my arms.

I wanted to tell them to slow down, but seeing their eyes that showed desperation, I kept silent and let myself be dragged.

As the two of them dragged me through the streets, I noticed many of the people looked at the two of them with different looks.

Some had pity, others were cautious, while the Atlas guards looked at them with pure disgust.

I was confused on why they saw the two of them in disgust, I heard rumors that in Atlas, the Faunus are treated like slaves, but there was no proof found.

So, I couldn't really jump to conclusion until I could see evidence, as the three of us ran, I saw that the workers at the docks were slowly closing.

But the stalls were still open, when the fishermen saw the two of them, the smiled with greed and began to prepare for them.

"Welcome you three, what can I get y-." Aiko pulled out some Lien and slammed it on the counter hard.

"Fresh fish, the freshest you got. Don't even think about giving us a bad one!" The man then flinched back at Aiko's outburst but smiled when he saw the amount of lien.

"Of course, let me show you what we have." He whistled to two other fishermen, signaling him to bring some fish.

The two of them then brought two containers, that were sealed tight. While they brought the crates, I noticed the man was whispering something to the two of them.

But I couldn't hear them, once the two crates were placed in front of us, the man opened it. The smell of fish invaded my nose, I was beginning to feel nauseous.

"This here is our freshest fish, th-." Aiko smacked the crate away and gripped him by the collar.

While Blake hissed at the man, I was starting to feel afraid at what was happening, but I thought wrong when I heard his voice.

"Listen here you waste of space; I will act like the person who calls the manager, so you either bring me some good fish, or I will call the manager." He threatens the man.

This caused him to widen his eyes in fear, he then signaled the two fishermen to bring some fresh fish. Aiko nodded his head in satisfaction and smiled.

"How much?" The man sighed in relief and smiled at him.

"fif-" Before he could finish, Aiko slammed thirty-nine lien and staring into the man's eyes.

"Don't even think about it, thirty-nine. Take it or leave it." The two were then at a standstill neither were trying to back down.

"Look brat, each fish that is caught today is worth fifty-five lien, so either you pay up, or you can forget it." Aiko then narrows his eyes.

"Last I checked each fish that is caught on the same day is worth thirty-nine." The man flinched at his words but didn't back down.

"Hey, I have a family to feed." Aiko scoffed at what the man said and turned away. He then grabbed the lien and also grabbed Blakes wrist.

"C'mon Blake, we can check the shops to find some fish." Blake was reluctant at first, but then lowered her head and began to follow.

"W-wait, thirty-nine lien, I'll sell it at thirty-nine each." The man said with a defeated look, hearing this, the two of them smiled and walked back.

"Pleasure doing business." Aiko said with a smile on his face, Aiko then ordered three more fish to take, and the man reluctantly wrapped the fish and handed it to the three of us.

"Hm-hmmm~ We really outdid ourselves today, Blake." Blake nodded her head in agreement and was skipping with joy.

"Yup, good thing mom taught us on how to ba-bargin, bargun?"

"It's pronounced bargain Blake." Aiko corrected her, I was silent through the entire walk back, still wondering why the man tried to charge more.

"Oh, by the way. We still need to visit the grocery store." I mentioned while holding my scroll.

"Are you sure? We wouldn't be able to help you." Aiko said, Blake was hesitant to even speak, she ended up hiding behind Aiko.

"But I need help to grab a few things." The two of them shook their heads, and Aiko soon pointed at a sign.

NO FAUNUS ALLOWED

"That's not fair." I said, but Blake grabbed my hand and looked down with tears in her eyes.

"I-it's how it is for us, n-no matter where we go, I-it's the same." She said sniffling, my heart broke when I saw Blake sniffling and tears fell from her face.

"Wait here." I ran into the store quickly, grabbing the things my mom wrote down, while also buying some sweets for the three of us.

Once I ran back out, I saw some Atlas guards trying to intimidate the two of them. But Aiko was in front of Blake, protecting her.

"If you don't give those fish to us, we'll arrest you for theft." One of them said, hearing their voice was a female. Aiko just stood his ground and glared at them.

"We bought these fish with our lien." But the three guards didn't believe him.

"The lien that you stole? I'm not wasting anytime, grab them." The two guards were about to arrest them, but I soon stood in front of them.

"Leave them alone, their with me!" As I shouted, most of the people looked in our direction, and saw what was happening.

They began to whisper to one another, pointing at the guards. Seeing this happen around us, the two looked back at the leader.

The leader flinched at the sight of their companions looking at them. She then coughed and soon turned to me.

"I see, please forgive our mistake, have a good day." She said with a strained voice, as the three of them left, both Blake and Aiko sighed in relief.

"Thanks Pyrrha, we would have to visit the mean dwarf." Blake giggled at what Aiko said, even I grew a small smile.

"It's fine, let's head back." The two of them nodded and the three of us soon began to make our way back to my home.

'They really have it harder than us' was the only thought I had when I looked at Aiko.
