Chapter 4: Just A Drink

Blake and Yang's Room

"Hey Blake! Guess what day it is?" Yang chimed.

"Saturday?" Blake questioned.

"Yep, but it's also been a week after we have settled in! That means it's time for another date, this time to the bar of my choosing! You're gonna have so much fun Blakey!" Yang said with high excitement.

"I'm not sure how much I'll have at a place I've never even thought of stepping into before. Especially with the loud music you like so much." Blake deadpanned.

"Oh come on Kitty! It will be fun! You always have fun when you're with me!" Yang stepped up to her girlfriend and kissed her. Blake leaned in as if on queue and the two made out for a minute. Then Blake pulled away.

"We better get ready, otherwise we'll never get out there at a decent time." Blake said.

"Yep. I know exactly what I'm gonna wear, and I think you'll like it." Yang said while eliciting a small giggle and one of her large grins.

Yang moved over to the closet, which for a three bedroom apartment was large enough to hold both of the young huntresses wardrobes. Yang picked her favorite outfit for the occasion, as she thought it fitting to go back to the place where everyone knew her and it gave her happy memories of years past wearing the brown jacket.

Blake on the other hand kept her favorite outfit for occasions out on the town in a small box underneath their bed. It was a simple black vest and white sleeveless undershirt, but she was always reminded of the fun times she had at Beacon with Yang, and she hadn't worn it in awhile, so she thought it would be a nice way to remember the good times.

"Heh, I guess we both thought the same thing. I'm glad our old outfits still fit! I'd hate to throw away this jacket, I paid all my lien for this back when I was working at the Hamburger place near 10th Street when I was going to Signal." Yang said with great enthusiasm.

"I didn't know when you went to Signal that you needed a job." Blake stated flatly.

"Yep, needed a job to keep Bumblebee filled up and the supplies for my babies. Signal don't let up on ya cause it's a training school for Beacon! In fact, I think Signal was harder than Beacon!" Yang nearly yelled as she began ranting about how hard of a time she had at Signal.

"Remnant to Yang! It's 6:30, if we want to get to the bar at a decent hour to have fun, we better get going." Blake stated.

"Oh, right!" Yang almost forgot about the date as she was ranting on about how the teachers didn't give them any help or advice on how to make their weapons. She picked up the keys to Bumblebee off a rack near the entry to the team's apartment. "Hey Rubes and Weiss-sickle! Me and Kitty are going out for a few hours, we should be back by tonight, If we aren't we're probably at a hotel because I was too drunk to come home and Blake drug me there, or something like that." Yang yelled as she and Blake walked out the door.

In Ruby and Weiss' room

Weiss was laying down on the bed reading a book on her scroll when Yang yelled out to the white and red clad pair.

"Ruby did you hear that?" Weiss nearly yelled at the young woman, as she was wearing her trademark Rose Red headphones blasting music at a volume that Weiss constantly told Ruby was "too loud" while she was looking at her computer screen which contained several tabs on the Cross Continental Web's forum services.

"WHAT? Oh, sorry Weiss! My favorite song was playing! What was so important that you had to interrupt me reading up on the latest mods for the model of bolt action I have on my sweetheart?" Ruby pouted.

"Seriously Ruby? When will you ever stop modifying Crescent Rose? You already said you had gone overboard in designing her, so why keep adding on?" Weiss questioned her smaller girlfriend.

Ruby threw one hand in the air as she got out of her chair and proclaimed "I will stop modifying my sweetheart whenever I am on my deathbed! And besides Weiss, this is a simple modification I just need something to gouge some grooves into the metal action and some Ice dust to help the action slide a little smoother."

Weiss let out a sigh as she face-palmed. "Anyways, back to what I was going to say. Yang and Blake went out, Yang said something about if they didn't come back tonight they'd be in a hotel or something cause Yang might be too drunk to come back home in a decent state."

"Oh, that happens all the time Weiss, she used to do that all the time after Summer died. She was real torn up about it, since that was the second mother she had lost." Ruby said.

"I guess you never know what those two are gonna do. One day it's taking out three fully grown Nevermore near a volcano, and the next it's going out for drinks and dancing." Weiss sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

In the apartment complex garage

"I'll drive up there, and you can drive on the way back since I'll probably have too much to drink to be able to even make coherent sentences." Yang said.

"And what makes you say that? You don't have to get drunk just to have fun Yang." Blake said flatly.

"I know, I do it anyways cause if I'm going to a bar, it's to drink and have fun. Drinking just adds to the fun!" Yang said with an excited tone and a wink.

"Ugh, some days I don't know what I'll do with you." Blake said with a slightly agitated tone.

"I know what I want to do with you though Kitty." Yang said with a slightly seductive hint as she pulled the raven haired girl in for a passionate kiss. They kissed for a few seconds and then geared up to ride to the bar.

"I wonder if it's illegal to ride a motorcycle on the rooftops…" Yang pondered as they were riding to their destination.

At the Bar

The two girls arrived at the bar in nearly record time as Yang knew all of the back roads and shortcuts through alleyways since she could ride Bumblebee through them.

"Well, that was just part of the fun Blake! Now the real fun begins, just let me go in first. The guy who owns this joint doesn't exactly like me." Yang stated coolly.

"Well, I guess that's a story to tell over our drink."

"Bu-" Yang began to question the Faunus' decision to drink

"I know I'm the designated driver. But, I don't think one drink is going to stop me from thinking straight. Though, honestly I don't know what to have. So, I'll probably start with whatever you're going to have." Blake replied after cutting the blonde off.

"Well, I guess then you'll be having a sunny day then!" Yang chimed. "I'll go in and see if he's actually gonna let us in."

"Alright, just don't kill him."

"No promises!"

Blake simply sighed and ran her hands through her hair as Yang barged into the bar.

"Helloooo Junior!" Yang chimed out as she strode over to the bar to talk to the owner Hei Xiong, or as everyone called him, Junior.

"Dammit! Who let Blondie in? Dave! Was it you?" Junior questioned.

"Hey man! She threatened to turn me into a woman!" Dave yelled back to his boss in fear.

"Dammit Dave, You're fired!" Junior yelled out in anger.

"So Junior, nice new place you have here! No, I'm not going to burn this one down, unless you decide to give me and my girlfriend a bad time here. Capice?" Yang said with the last few words through gritted teeth.

"I swear I'll do my best Sir!" Junior said with beads of sweat coming out on his forehead.

"Good, I'll go get her now so you two can meet."

Yang strode out of the bar with her classic hip sway to go get her girlfriend.

"Ok, he's fine with me and you being here, threats of breaking things if he gives you shit are quite effective!"

"Yang, next time try to have a little more tact… Threats can't get you everywhere in life ya know…" Blake took her place at the right side of Yang.

Yang looked up and realized that Blake had put her bow on in the time between getting off the bike and her talk with Junior. "Why'd you put your bow on Blake? I thought you were gonna stop wearing it since you wanted to begin your whole Faunus Rights movement peacefully?" Yang quietly questioned her girlfriend."

Blake leaned her head on Yang's shoulder as the two walked in, "I didn't want to catch any unwanted attention to either you or me. Since it is odd for Faunus to be in a relationship with humans. If someone found out, I'd probably be put in some sort of jail, or worse. And I'd rather not be put in jail a week after graduating and starting my full time career as a Huntress."

"Hey, It will be alright, trust me if anyone in that club were to attempt to attack you. You would bet that your attacker in that club would be spending a quite large amount of weeks in the hospital. Now take that bow off, I know how much you hate it."

"Fine… I'll take it off…"

Blake undid the bow with one hand while the two were still walking in from the parking spot that Blake had picked. She tended to pick spots further away from everyone else out of habit. She wrapped the string around her arm like it was one of the strings she used to control Gambol Shroud at range, she felt more comfortable with it like that as it reminded her of her weapon even when she didn't have it.

Yang and Blake strode into the bar, Yang with an air of confidence as she loved the atmosphere of Junior's clubs, she just didn't quite like the owner. Blake was a little nervous as she didn't like the booming music or flashing lights, but she was confident Yang knew what she was doing.

"The bar's over there, Let's go get our drinks and then hit the dance floor!" Yang enthusiastically said.

Blake simply smiled, nodded, and followed her ecstatic girlfriend to the bar and took a seat.

"Yo, Junior! Two Strawberry Sunrises!" Yang shouted over the incredibly loud music.

"Coming right up Blond- I mean Sir!" Junior yelled nearly losing what shreds of confidence he had left.

"Yea, you better get my name right!" Yang shouted back.

"Sir? Really Yang? What did you do to him to make him so fearful of you?" Blake questioned.

"Well, ya see… The first time we met was when I was still looking for my mother, I was just out of Signal, and I had a picture of her on my scroll. I thought looking for her in the underworld where information tends to flow freely would be a good place to start. I came to his first bar in Vale, it was kinda like this one, except on a much more shady side of town."

"Ok, I still don't see what this has to do with him fearing you like this." Blake stated.

"Would you let me finish? Jeez… So, I came in, and apparently Torchwick was there before I was because Junior's goons were part of the first string of Dust robberies that had begun to happen right when we started going to Beacon. But that's besides the point. Anyways, Junior had never seen my mother before, but I started to threaten him mostly by grabbing his-"

"Yea, I think I can get it from there Yang. Let me guess, you beat him up over not having the information you wanted?" Blake asked.

"Yep, then when we were looking for information on Torchwick, Neptune and I came back to Junior at his second bar. I didn't destroy it that time, I came back about a year after that and may have had one too many drinks…" Yang trailed off.

"Yang… Seriously? You are about as bad as your Uncle Qrow." Blake was disheartened to hear her girlfriend's low alcohol tolerance and always told her to stop going out and drinking when she went to parties.

"Guilty as charged Ki-" Yang stopped as Blake kissed Yang.

"Please, don't call me those nicknames here. I really don't like them at home or on missions, but I really don't need you to call me them in public, I don't want to draw any extra attention if I don't have to."

"Fine Blake-y…"

"Two Strawberry Sunrises for the beautiful ladies!" One of the bartenders slid the drinks to them as he called out to them to get their attention.

"Thanks! Just put it on my tab!" Yang yelled out to the bartender.

"Well, bottoms up Blake! I know you don't tend to like sweet stuff, but this is my favorite drink." Yang took the glass and drank the entire concoction in one fell swoop. Blake decided to just test it by taking a few sips.

"Wow, that's not bad. It's got a hint of strawberry sweetness, but it has a slight after burn." Blake was not surprised in the slightest by her girlfriend's drink of choice, as it was like it was made for her and Ruby.

"Yea, I kinda did create it, I wanted something to remind me of Ruby when I went out to parties, she's one of the big driving forces in my life ya know? I want to keep her safe, but at the same time I know she's able to keep herself safe. That and whenever I take her out one day for her first drink, that'll be her first."

"Yea you two are really close, it was nice of you to do that for her. I think it's cute that you made a drink for you two." Blake said with a small smile.

"Yep, I think I'm gonna go hit the dance floor Blake, you gonna come with?" Yang asked.

"Not yet, I think I'm gonna wait for a slower song to come on. You know how I am with faster songs and dancing." Blake answered.

"Alright Blakey, when a song you like comes on I'm finding ya and we are gonna dance!" Yang said in a triumphant manner.

"Ugh, why did I chose Yang of all people to be my girlfriend? She's nice and beautiful, and she did help me get through rough spots at Beacon, but she's my complete opposite… I guess what they say about opposites attracting is really true." Blake pondered as she finished her drink.

As if on queue, the DJ changed songs from the upbeat techno beats of the Achieve Men's "I Burn, Techno Remix" to a much softer song that Blake had never heard before. Yang strode over to the raven beauty and pulled her onto the dance floor, and brought her into a dancing embrace and almost began to cry.

"Yang, what's wrong?" Blake was genuinely concerned for her partner's current state.

*sniff* "Listen to the song Blake, you'll see why I've gotten so emotional. This one's very near to me, mostly because…"

Blake began truly listening to the lyrics of the song,

Long ago, before we met,

I dreamed about you.

The peace you'd bring.

The songs we'd sing.

The way you'd make things new.

Then one day, you arrived.

I heard your angel cry.

Helpless, small, and perfect,

Welcome to your life.

And on that day, I made a vow.

Whispered and true.

No matter what, no matter how,

I made this promise to you.

I will cling, I will clutch,

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.

I won't leave, I won't go,

I will stay with you all our days.

Years of joy have passed since then.

With time I've seen you grow.

Watched you play, new each day.

I begged the time to slow.

And though I miss the little girl,

You've made me awful proud.

Funny how our lives change,

'Cause you're my hero now.

But things in life will rearrange.

Friends come and go.

Don't ever doubt, don't ever fear,

I'm always here and you know.

I will cling, I will clutch,

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.

I won't leave, I won't go,

I will stay with you all our days.

Blake realized who was singing, It was Yang. "Oh my god Yang! When did you make this? This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard!"

"I had gotten a small deal with a recording company to record this song, it was just a one-shot though. But it was a birthday gift for Ruby's tenth birthday. I still get emotional each time I hear it, I poured my heart and soul into that song for her…" Yang trailed off.

Blake pulled her girlfriend into a long hug and pulled them off the dance floor after the song finished. "Did you ask the DJ to play that? Just for me?"

"You read me like a book Blake, I did pull some strings to have that song played I knew you would love it. Though I didn't expect to go all emotional on you on the dance floor." Yang gave a small sniffle after admitting to her intentions.

"It's ok Yang. It's nice to see the more emotional side of you every now and again."

The two stayed at the bar for another two hours talking, nothing but small talk and tales of Yang at Signal Academy. Yang got up for a few drinks in between tales, falling into a drunken slur after about the third Rum and Coke. Blake decided to check the time on her scroll, It was 10:30. "Hmm, not exactly when I was expecting to leave, but Yang's pretty much as drunk as I'm ok with. Still I'd like to not expose Weiss and Ruby to any more of Yang's drunken stupors… So, I guess to a motel it is…" Blake reasoned.

"Come on Yang, it's time to go. *Oomph* You're heavier than I expected…" Blake stated as she picked her drunken girlfriend off the couch they had been sitting on.

"And what's that supposed to mean Kitten? Ya callin me fat? Those are some fightin words there Blakey." Yang said while trying to punch her girlfriend in the arm.

"Dust Yang… Could you please shut up? I'd like to get out of here un-scathed...

"Whatever you want Kitty Cat!" Yang almost shouted, much to Blake's surprise.

"If we were inside when you said that, you would be getting punched." Blake retorted

"Now, where are the keys to Bumblebee… Oh… right…" Blake began to wince as she was reminded where her girlfriend kept the keys to her bike, as she forgot to bring hers. Blake was fortunate that Yang would probably not remember her fishing around inside her bra for the keys.

Blake attempted to get her drunken girlfriend onto the bike, and it proved difficult, she decided to bind her with the string she used for a bow to the recently attached back rest. Then she put the helmet on Yang and placed her own helmet on. Then, she heard a noise, something that she was all too familiar with… The low hum of a Schnee Glyph. Blake looked down, and indeed there was a Schnee family Glyph beneath the yellow motorcycle. "Why is Weiss trying to stop us? Or maybe… No… It can't be… NO! This isn't happen-!"

Three Hours Earlier.

"Targets are in sight. I repeat, the Faunus and her blonde partner are in sight." spoke the young man into his earpiece.

"Well, do what you must, I don't care how you capture them, just don't kill them. I wouldn't want the future guardians of Remnant to be dead before you can train them." The man on the other side said.

"Well, I guess I can use the skills I picked up while I studied at Atlas' Academy… Man I hated those instructors, but there was the perk of being in the same class as Winter Schnee!" The young man elicited a grin as he jumped onto a different rooftop to get a new vantage point to see the entrance more clearly for when they made their exit.

"Man, I hope that the footage of the black one wasn't edited, I could have sworn I saw her use techniques that only a few Huntsman know, and she wasn't even out of her first year! And, her weapon is similar enough to my Twin Dreamwalkers that I can adapt it to be similar, though i'll need some chains and a few servo motors. And I'll have to hollow out one of them for a sheath…"

The young man began to be bored from waiting for the girls to leave the bar. "Dust damn it, when are they going to leave? I really don't want to be out till midnight, I'm already suspicious enough up here on this roof, but if I'm out here for too long, someone's gonna notice…"

In a few more moments, Blake was hauling Yang to the blonde's bike. "Hmm, that bike wasn't in any of the videos… I guess I can leave it here as evidence, It could even instil a little fear into the Roses…" The young man stated to no one in particular with a slightly sadistic grin.

"Dust Yang! Could you please shut up?" Blake yelled at Yang.

"Ugh, finally, they leave… Oh, perfect the blonde is drunk off her ass. This ought to make this easier, I will not need to get as physical as I'd originally needed to." The young man breathed in heavily, closed his eyes, and his left hand began to glow with the Schnee family symbol. "Good, still remember that old snowflake's tricks. This should be a cinch."

Present Time

Blake was cut off in her train of thought by the explosion of the glyph below the bike as it knocked both her and Yang off the motorcycle. Yang was knocked unconscious from the blast, while Blake was still somewhat coherent and able to comprehend what was happening. But It didn't matter, her assailant used four Repulsion Glyphs to imprison the raven haired faunus and the blonde brawler.

"Why hello there miss! It seems you are trapped inside a glyph prison! Here, I'll let you free!" Blake never saw the brick flying at her face.

"And old Ozzy said she was the sneaky one… I guess the cat ran into a corner she couldn't get out of. As for the blonde…" The young red haired man examined the unconscious blonde. "I shouldn't need to do anything to her further."

The young man hefted the two girls onto a glyph and moved it along with the girls with ease to an unmarked black van and placed them both in the back. He bound, blindfolded and gagged the girls so if they were to wake up, they would have no idea where they were. He entered the front and started the van up. "That was as easy as killing 10 fully grown Deathstalkers with just Fast Lien and Early Retirement, just have to know where the weak points are, and strike them there!"

At the young man's house

The young man backed his black van into the two car garage attached to his beat up abode. "Good, the girls are still conked out from the incident. This will make getting them into the basement much easier." The young man closed his eyes again and breathed in deeply again, this time a yellow flaming fist appeared on his left hand and he activated his semblance, the strength of a lion coursing through his body, as he would need it to heft the two girls into the basement.

After picking the two girls up and hoisting them onto his shoulders, he called out "Sebastian! I'm home!" A secret hatch opened up in the empty car space and the young man went down the stairs.

"Good evening Reuben, I hope your mission to retrieve Yang Xiao Long and Miss Belladonna went well?" A hologram of a butler appeared in the large room.

"Yes, as you can see the two girls are here on my shoulders, unconscious I might add. Are the rooms for the two pairs ready?" Reuben asked.

"Yes they are Sir! I even made them look like the rooms in Beacon just as you requested." Sebastian replied.

"Good, could you be a dear and open the second room? I have my hands quite full at the moment."

"Certainly Master."

On the far right side of the room in a tucked away corner a door opened to a fairly sizable room that resembled one half a room at Beacon, but not a standard one. This one had the two beds on top of each other with nothing but a few dusty books holding them apart. "Wow, Sebastian you really have outdone yourself this time! This looks almost exactly like their room at Beacon!"

"Thank you Sir! I aim to please."

Reuben placed the two girls on their respective beds, being forced to draw more power from his Aura to hoist Yang onto her top bunk. "Good, I can finally start planning how to nip the white roses from the plant."

A/N: Hello everyone! I hope you have enjoyed my story so far! My update schedule is going to become quite erratic as, I am starting school soon. Hopefully the first few weeks will be easy enough that I can get one chapter a Week, but no promises. Chapter 5 should be out on the 15'th as, it will be a much easier chapter for me to write, as I have something to follow up on with the White Roses.
