Chapter 1: a box in the alleyway of menagerie

I decide to give her nine tails from the start mainly because it would help the plot progress easier with my new plan.

A man with a large build was walking down a old street on a tropical island in the dead of night. His golden eyes with slits showing clear signs of irritation and the bags beneath them showing his lack of proper rest. Despite his haggard face he was still carrying a large bag on his back and marching forward with determination and happiness in his step.

This man was Ghira Belladonna the current leader of a group called white fang a group which peacefully protested for Faunus rights. He was a big jolly man with a hearty laugh as his friends and family would describe his usual personality.

*sigh* "honestly the dust prices just keep on rising since Jacques Schnee took control... the old man Nicholas was a good man but that new fool is dragging the Schnee name through the mud!" Unknowingly a guttural growl had come from his body. "

'if the prices keep on rising I wouldn't be surprised if more and more Faunus become violent because basic living standards here already cost 5 times the amount in Atlas! And atlas is the most technological developed country and it costs less to live there... let's hope the protests do something...' his face becoming more weary the more he thought about the situation.

However as if a button had been flicked his face became a radiant smile 'woohoo though it's time to go see my little year old Blake mwahaha I'm sure her first words will be dada because I'm the best father ever hehe.'

As I wondered the streets of menagerie as I love to do on clear nights such as this since even the coldest nights here were lukewarm at worst my ears suddenly twitched. I heard a noise a slight whimpering to my left so looking to my left all I could see was a dark dingy alleyway . 'Huh whys there a crying sound from a child at this time of night in an alleyway homeless kid maybe?'

Deciding to bring out my claws just in case I cautiously entered the alleyway. It was dark and dingy and covered in plants probably someone's personal garden at one point or another. I approached the source of the noise and what I saw was a opened box but what shocked me was not the box but what laid inside. A newborn baby! She had snow like white hair and the most innocent looking red eyes I had ever seen looking closer I noticed an irregularity she had more than one Faunus feature she had more than one Faunus feature she had a pair of white fox ears white fox Faunus were very rare because they loved cold places to live in. But what was even weirder was she has 9 tails! Nine little stubby fox tails that were currently hairless despite the warm temperatures at night she was shivering.

"What the hell! Who dares abandon a child in the middle of the night!" My fatherly instincts were kicking in 'why would someone abandon her poor thing how could someone leave a child grrrr but what do I do with her their arent any orphanages in menagerie?'

After thinking through some ideas I had decided what to do now, I formed my resolve and decide to bring her home with me and pray to any gods that I don't face the infinite wrath of... my wife.(A/N am I the only one who is imagining boss music in the background here?)

Scooping the adorable kit in my arms I said to her in my best soothing tone seeing her watery eyes "shh shh shh it's ok I'm here for you don't worry big uncle Ghira is going to take you to get some food ok?" The little fox eyes stopped watering and instead she put forward her little baby hands and put it against my cheek in a adorable manner. "Hehe cute little snot arent ya" before letting out a hearty laugh "aahh kali will absolutely love you little one"

Walking through menagerie I couldn't help but smile knowing that Blake could possibly have a little sister now! Unfortunately after Blake was born my wife was unable to conceive again but that never mattered to me for I had an amazing little daughter to dote on haha. Before she was born I swore to myself whether it was a boy or a girl I would be the best father possible for them. *sigh* 'it feels like just yesterday Blake took her first baby steps now that was a sight to behold. Just like me and Kali she inherited our fish addiction father like daughter I always said but Kali always insisted Blake was more like her! Hmmph my little princess is more like her awesome father.' I looked down at the child snuggling into my chest seemingly asleep and muttered to myself "welcome to the Belladonna family little kit"

In front of a large house with a sign reading 'Belladonna residence' I was sitting there looking at my husband with a hint of rage.

'*sigh* my idiot husband is always looking out for the Faunus of menagerie he is a kind loving man the best husband a woman could ask for. He is funny, respectful to his friends and a caring man. But that begs the question why I exactly is he in front of our house carrying a newly born Faunus child! Depending on his answer I know a good surgeon who could neuter him.'

As I stated at him he began sweating profusely and getting on his knees in a grovelling position further proving his guilt to me. "So what do you have to say for yourself Ghira?" He looked at me with slight hope in his eyes. But my eyes replied ferociously 'if you lie to me I will make your sex life a living hell'

Ghira looked up at me still holding the admit-ably adorable child in his arms. "Well funny story I was going for my nightly walk and...." he then proceeded to explain to me how he came across the child in an alleyway abandoned by its parents. 'Poor thing how could a parent abandon their own child if I ever find them I swear on my tuna I will gut he fools'

Looking at the less guilty looking Ghira and the newborn child snuggled into his chest I said to the clumsy giant. "Come on in then! I'm not having the poor child getting a cold because you forgot to bring her in!" He stumbles forward and quickly brings her indoors.

'This husband of mine is denser than mountain Glenn. But still that's why I fell in love with the idiot.' I smiled to myself.

Walking indoors I saw Blake still awake on the couch nibbling on a small piece of tuna I bought at the market today. Looking at her I thought I'd give her some news "Blake how would you feel about getting a little sister?" Though I knew she couldn't speak I saw a look of excitement in her eyes as if she instinctively knew what I meant. Picking her up I took her to her little bed on the second floor and said to her "night night sweetie don't let the Grimm bite." After tucking her in I put up the baby defences on the side of her bed to prevent her from falling off since she inherited Ghira's general clumsiness. Honestly I never like that bed time saying because of the meaning behind it but oh well.

'Hmmmm let's go check on Ghira and the little silver haired fox hehe' walking downstairs I saw Ghira holding the child whilst sitting in the couch he gestures for me to sit opposite him so I sat down.

He looked at me his silly grin gone instead a serious look entered his eyes. "Kali what do you think we should we do with the child? As we both very well know there are no orphanages around these parts and well she's cute soooo...."

Instantly guessing where he wanted to go with this I continued his sentence for him. "So you want to adopt her into the family?" He nodded furiously before responding.

"Yes I do if we left her with someone untrustworthy well..." he gestured to her animal ears and then to her tails. I knew what he meant Faunus with more than one animal feature are incredibly rare and are more often than not if they are female sold to slave traders for a incredibly large amount and shipped to perverted Atlisian nobles and rich men and looking at her having 9 tails I could only imagine what would happen to the poor child if she fell into the wrong hands and ended up in Atlas. The thought of that happening sent shivers down my spine I was alread planning to adopt her before. But now it was certain I would adopt this child to protect her from the horrors of this broken world.

"We are adopting her." I said with a tone of finality not that Ghira would have disagreed. "So we now have another child fufufu I must teach her the wonders of fish!" Said Ghira successfully changing the dour mood to his jolly one. He can change the most dull and boring atmosphere to a jolly one sometimes I wonder if it's a second semblance of his.

'Truth be told I'm overjoyed I can't wait to show her tuna myself foxes like fish too or that's what I learnt from some fox Faunus friends of mine. I picked the child up from Ghira's chest and put her against my chest as I pulled down my shirt a bit. Gently pressing the little kit against my chest still asleep she subconsciously began breast feeding. 'Fufufu I'm sure you and Blake will get along splendidly. After she stopped feeding I decided to put her in Blake's old cot that was still beside my and Ghira's bed from when Blake used to sleep in it since we forgot to move it out. Well lucky for us now anyway putting the sleeping child in the cot I got into bed and thought to myself. 'Hmmm Ada Taurus should be around their ages maybe I should set up a play date between the 3 girls one day' before I slowly drifted off to sleep.
