A/N: This is my fist story I have ever started to write with intent to post it. It might not be all that good, and I might need to tweak how I do things a bit. But let me know how it is! This is going to be a part of a few long length milti-chapter stories, that all interlock but tell the stories of all the pairings! It is very much an AU created between myself and a friend. -MissMisplaced

Four and a Half Years after RWBY Graduated from Beacon
Yang POV
"Damn it…" I curse out, having troubles getting the denting of the exhaust pipe of Bumblebee out. Some jerk in a car rammed into it in a parking lot causing some damage. I have easily put over twenty hours into repairing and detailing it again. Sighing I stand up and back away from my bike. I have grown over attached to it since it was the only thing that I haven't lost in the past few years.
I glance around at my belongings all cooped up in this large storage cell. Who would've thought that a member of one of the best Huntress teams around would end up in this state. Living in a storage room in Vale sleeping on a cot. Well… Ex member now it would seem. Seeing as the whole team seemed to split apart for a year, and when it got back together it was only a three member team.
Who was the one never brought back into the group, one might ask. I mean the team leader wouldn't leave out her sister right? Wrong… I can not blame her, I burn them all in different ways. None of which were small burn either. Ruby I snapped at horrible, and told her some select things that I never should of. I was only trying to keep my sister alive, she was becoming a workaholic about huntressing… Becoming more reckless than I liked. Weiss and I got in a huge explosion of an argument that nearly went horrible. She was defending both Ruby and Blake, and I just happened to be the one from.
Blake was… Blake in my mind burnt me more than I did her. Throughout our time at Beacon as partners, we snuck around. I fell for her and hard. We never did much more outside of slightly heated make-out session, before she would stop us and leave. It finally got to a point that I couldn't handle it anymore. Right before graduation I confronted her and confessed. Right after graduation she told me the feelings were not mutual, and that she loved someone else… I haven't spoken to her since.
It was three years ago since I found out they reformed a team, I am now about to turn twenty-five. Boy have these days now been hell. I struggled finding good paying missions, since most require a team. I tried teaming up with some other lone Huntsmen and Huntresses, but none ever lasted long. I ended up taking some… Questionable missions for the past year, just enough to be able to survive. A few days ago I got an offer for a contract with an old friend. I have been holding off on signing, but the offer is near impossible to turn down no matter how much I do not want to take it
.
The offer? Ownership of a local club, with a living quarters right above it. The club will be fully redesigned to my pleasure, as well as the living area. The bar will be fully stocked free of cost of myself, yet I get all the profit. With all contracts there is a catch… In this case the Club has a 'back entrance' that leads into a basement. The basement will be cage fighting matches, with a five thousand lien minimum on bets, that I get a decent cut out of for running it. I am not against cage fighting, but gambling is highly illegal around Vale, Cage fighting being the most thing people bet on.
To have such a well known Huntress running it, and having a very tight knit group being the provider for it would make the business from it boom, and near impossible to find. Near flawless… Lucky them they found a very well known Huntress down on her luck that will take the offer. I am meeting the leaders of the underground organization here in my 'home' shortly. This is where I will sign the contract, hope for the best, and become the best cover up in all of Vale.
My thoughts quickly flash to what my teammates… Ex Teammates... Would do if they ever found out. Or if they would even care… Weiss would probably tell me to straighten out my act and be semi-caring about it. Blake would just walk away and act like she never found out. Ruby… Ruby would do what is just and turn me in… No matter how much it would hurt her she would do what she thinks is right, even if it meant harming me in the process.
An hour passes before I snap out of my train of thought and start quickly tidying up as much as possible before leaning against the wall. Even throughout all the second guessing so far this still seemed like the best option for me at this time. The contract will be yearly renewed, each year the deal would probably get better and better for me as long as I kept a good cover. Yet, it would push my morals every year more than the last.
By the time I finally heard light knocking, I have already been pacing and on edge. I had my Ember Celica armed as the last thing I wanted was to be blind sided or double crossed. When I finally pulled the door up and open I scanned the group to know exactly who I was working for, or with.
I was first greeted by the Jr.'s tall wide form, the his two 'bodyguards' which seemed to be more like some playthings for him. As they stepped aside I glanced at a few more. First being the Ex White Fang Lieutenant, then to no other than Emerald. The third person I saw sent chills straight down my spine. At least won't have to worry about being double crossed, or betrayed with this crowd… I am once again face to face with the one and only… Neo Politan.
Her eyes seemed to just gleam once our eyes met, and the satanic smug look was spread across her face sent chills down my back. I want to smack that look into last week so badly… She always seems to have this advantage over me, and I despise it. "Well, well, well… Nice to meet on nicer terms for once Ms Xiao Long! But we are friends now right?" She lightly laughed, and I nearly drew blood as i bit my lip, "Well my dear Yang, are you ready to sign the contract?"
My eyes quickly fell onto the papers handed over to me followed by a small knife and a quill. "Well since we are on a first name basis now… Sure... Neo…" The hatred burned through me before being forced to calm down. "What is the knife for…? one of your twisted sexual fantasies?" If this got any more bizarre I don't know what I will do.
Her smile seemed to grow and my heart sank slightly. "Are you willing to show that you will not turn against us, and defend the people before you against anyone else?" She spoke almost sultry with some evil twist on the second to last word. I had to force my thoughts aside. With one last deep breath I fully relaxed.
"Yes. I am willing to…"
