THIS FANFIC WILL BE MOSTLY THE SAME AS WHAT HAPPENED IN CANON UNTIL THE MORE MAJOR BRANCHING OFF POINT.
It was a quiet night in the city of Vale. The shattered moon danced with stars as their dimlight shone down onto the entire Kingdom of Vale. The rats scurried through the emptyalleyways in search of food. The lights and sounds from nightclubs as a signal to have fun were blaring through out the neighborhoods. Yang Xiao-Long was loving every bit of it. Yang was a16 year old young woman with long blonde hair. She was wearing blue jeans, yellow sneakers,a yellow tank top with a tan duster with deep inside pockets. She was walking down the street,headed towards the train station to head over to the island of Patch, where her house resides. She planned on getting to the 9 o'clock train to Patch and getting on her motorcycle, Bumbleby,to ride back home.
That didn't happen.
Yang saw two men beating this other man. The man looked to be about her age but shecouldn't quite tell who he was.
"Get his wallet." Said one of the two thugs to the other. The other nodded and reacheddown to grab the man's wallet. Yang had enough.
"Hey!" Yang yelled out, a small smile on her face. The two thug's heads snappedtowards her quickly. Their faces visibly calmed when they saw it was her.
"Well, hell~lo! there Blondie!" Said the first Thug with a look of lust. The second thug hadthe same one. "Now how about you take off that to-" The first one started before being met withYang's fist to the his face. He stumbled back, grasping his nose. "OH FUCk!" Went the thug.
The second one was frozen in shock. "You fucking broke my nose!" Yelled the first thug. Helooked at the second thug and gestured to Yang. "Kill Her!" He yelled. The second thug noddedbefore pulling a knife out and jabbing it towards her. Yang leaned out of the way, watching the
knife barely miss her hair before grabbing his wrist and twisting it so hard, it breaks and he spinsin the air onto the ground.
"ARGH!" Yells the second thug in pain.
"You should really step your game up." Yang says. "The bar for general thuggery hasgotten a lot higher than this." She continued. The first thug growled and, very intelligently on hispart, picked up the other thug and ran off. Yang smiled and looked towards the man who wasattacked.
Clap.
Yang turned around to see a male that looked to be one to two years older than her. He had a model on either side of him and he wore a purple suit. His chin was sharp, and had damn good cheekbones. The thing that intrigued Yang the most, however, were his eyes. His eyes were the same color as hers, just a deeper shade.
Clap.
"Wow." He said with an accent that could make a girl blush. Clap. He stopped clapping and looked at the models either side of him. "That was wonderful show, wasn't it? Clap." He said in a reassuring tone before the models start clapping as he smiles at Yang. "Like a proper hunteress, eh? Saving the innocent, punishing wrongdoers." He looks back at the models. "You bore me. Leave." Said the man. The models turn and walk away. Yang raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing.
"Now, if you would, tell me your name." He said in a kind tone. Before Yang even is even able to think about it, the words are coming out of her mouth.
"Yang. Yang Xiao-Long." She said truthfully. The man smiles at this.
"Well, Ms. Xiao-Long, how would you like to accompany me." He said with that smile still on his face. Yang nodded and looked at the man who had been attacked. "He'll be fine." He says. Yang looked back at him. "He needs a hospital." She wanted to say. "He's hurt badly." She wanted to say.
"He'll be fine." She said before walking towards him and joining him by his side.
It's 12:00. Taiyang, Yang's father is alone in the living room of the medium sized house he lives in with his two daughter, Yang Xiao-Long and Ruby Rose. His daughter, Ruby, had taken up her mother's maiden name in order to remember her. Taiyang was pacing in the living room.
"She was supposed to be here 2 hours ago…" He mutters under his breath, worry covering his face. He grabs his scroll and calls Yang for 10th time since 10: 30. He holds the scroll up to his ear as he taps his foot rapidly. "Come on come on… Pick up…" He mutters. After about 30 seconds, Yang's voice comes up.
"Hey, leave the message at the tone!" Says Yang's voicemail before a tone comes up. Taiyang sighs and his arm falls from it's raised position at his ear. He sighs in desperation. He looks at the scroll and decides to call up his best friend, and the uncle of Yang and, through association, Ruby. He puts the scroll up to his ear and waits from him to answer.
"Tai~, Old buddy!" Says the man on the other side of the call drunkenly. "What are you calling me at ten… ele- no, TWELVE at night!?" The man asks with a slur.
"Yang was supposed to be home two hours ago. She's still not here. I'm getting worried, Qrow." Taiyang says to Ruby and Yang's uncle. Qrow immediately seemed to sober up.
"Where was the place she was coming back from?" He asked, slurless.
"Some party with her friends in Vale."
"Alright, I'm gonna go investigate. Just don't call the police." Qrow said. Taiyang opened his mouth to dispute this but Qrow continued before he had the chance. "I know you want to call the police but you'd be wasting your time and theirs. The police can't look for a missing person 'til they're gone for at least 48 hours. Yang's been unaccounted for two-two and a half." Qrow said.
The two were silent.
"Ok…" Tai said.
"Good. I'll get back to you."
Click.
Taiyang set his scroll down with a sigh. He didn't go to bed. He knew he couldn't sleep.
He had to figure out how to tell his daughter her sister is missing.
