Notes: Alright hello and welcome. This is an idea I had just pop into my head and had to write it. At this moment this is meant to be more of a one shot since I have several other projects in the works and don't know when I will have the time to update it again. I would love to hear what you think about this story concept.

Father Troubles

Yang Xiao Long

You know I always kind of believed if I held my head up high and had my teammates by my side everything would work out in the end. I thought that no matter what dangers we faced and no matter what hard times we fell on. We would be able to look back on it and laugh some day but. This, this is not funny at all and not even the greatest of puns could get a giggle out of me. Not now not ever.

"Hey Blondy what are you doing?! I am not paying you to stand around talking to yourself! Now get back to work!

"Coming Junior!" Yang said as she let out a long winded sigh and began dragging her feet towards the source of the voice.

Yang quickly returned with a broom in hand and started to sweep back and forth. "Now I am sure you are all wondering how I found myself in this kind of predicament. Well it all started about a month ago when I received an unexpected call from my Dad.

Yang Xiao Long the blond bombshell of team RWBY had just returned to her dorm room after enjoying a hearty lunch with her friends and was now stepping out of the shower. Knowing that her other teammates wouldn't likely return for some time stepped out of the bathroom while drying herself off to search for suitable cloths to wear. While doing so she notices that her scroll which she remembers leaving on her night stand was now lying face down on the floor. "Crap did it fall over?!" She shouted in a worried tone as she quickly moved closer to retrieve the scroll from the floor and check it for damage. Once she inspects it she is relieved find it in good conditioned but also notices that she has several missed calls from her father. "Huh, it must have vibrated itself off the stand. It's unusual for dad to call like this. I wonder what he wants to talk about so badly." Right after the blond finished her thought the scroll flicker and began to ring and vibrate violently.

Yang was startled by the sudden call and almost dropped the scroll herself. After steadying herself and thumbing around with it for a moment she managed to catch a glimpse of the caller ID, it was her father again. She quickly presses the answer call button and throws out a warm. "Hey dad what's up?"

A rough booming voice erupted from the scrolls speakers. "Don't you 'Hey dad' me Yang! Do you know how deep you're in it right now!?"

Yang pulls back a bit in an attempt to protect her hearing before going back in to yell into the scroll. "What are you on about dad?! What did I do?!"

A menacing chuckle came through the other end. "Oh ho ho, I wouldn't say it's about what you have done but, rather it's about what haven't you done! Do you know what I have in front of me right now Yang?"

"Umm a scroll I am guessing?" Yang said jokingly.

"I have a report from Beacon!" Yang released an audible gulping sound. "Now let's see where to start History C, Math C, Science C, Grimm Studies D. You see a trend here Yang?"

Yang took on a defensive tone as she responded. "Hey it's not my fault, how am I supposed to keep up with that Caffeine junkie's so called history classes. He talks so fast that I always break my pen trying to take notes. And Port's so called Grimm Studies is a joke. All he teaches is boring crap we should already know. And why didn't you even bring up my Combat classes? I will have you know I am acing every one of them!"

"The world doesn't revolve around fighting Yang! Also I happen to have Ruby's report right here as well. She is doing just fine in all those classes. Why is it that her big sister who she looks up to so much can't do the simplest things hmm?"

"I umm… I." Panic was beginning to set into Yang's voice.

"Oh wait I know why, it's because you're too busy smashing up night clubs isn't that right?!" Her father inquired in an accusing tone.

"Wait what?! Dad, how do you know about that!?" Yang inquired.

"You think I can't keep track of my own daughters Yang? What were you even doing there? Do you know how old you are?!"

"I'm sorry dad I was just trying to find information."

"You were trying to find information in a shady night club in the middle of the night? What were you hoping to find Yang?"

"Yes ok! I had a lead I couldn't let it slip by me!"

"A lead, don't tell me your still looking for that woman are you? I told you that nothing good will come of it. If she wanted to be here, she would have already returned. Now I want you to promise me that you will give it up before you put yourself and your sister in anymore trouble."

"I can't do that dad! I'm so close now, I can feel it! I have to know why she left. And nothing will stop me not even you dad!" Yang declared.

"Oh is that right?" A deep sigh came through the other end of the line before Yang's father began to speak again in a slightly strained voice. "I didn't want it to come to this Yang but you've left me with no choice."

"What do you mean old man!?" Yang shot back.

"You know that club you smashed up? They found out who you are and guess what they did? They sent me the bill!" Her father shouted.

"They did what?!" Yang questioned in a shocked down.

"That's right and boy did you really do a number on the place huh. You're my girl after all so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but. This is the real world and there are real consequences for every action. It's not going to be easy to pay this off so I've decided I would need a little extra cash." Her father explained.

"What are you getting at dad?" Yang inquired.

"Well rather than take out a mortgage on our house I just gave my old friend Headmaster Ozpin a call. And after explaining our little situation he agreed to help me out. And by that I mean he returned the money I sent for your next tuition payment."

Yang took a moment to process the information she was just give. "What? What does that mean?!"

"It means that until you straighten up and learn some responsibility you're on your own missy! Oh and by the way Ozpin will need that payment by the end of the semester. Anyway that's all I have to say for now so best of luck to you dear." The call ended shortly after.

Yang's scroll dropped to the floor followed soon after by herself as she collapsed onto her knees. It was like she could feel her heart sinking into her stomach. "Damn that old man! Why do I have to suffer like this anyway? This is all Junior's fault anyway! If he had just given me what I wanted we wouldn't have had a problem in the first place!" Yang screamed before becoming lost in thought for a moment. "Wait, this really is all his fault isn't it! If he hadn't of sent that stupid bill I'd still be in the clear!" Yang's grip hardened into fists and she pulled herself up off the floor. She reached into her dresser pulling out her yellow gauntlets and strapping them to her wrists with a click. "I guess it's about time I go pay my old friend a visit then!"

Hei Xiong otherwise known as Junior was currently in the middle of his preopening ritual of helping his DJ make music selections for the night and wiping down the counters and tables in his Club. He would be opening soon and wanted to make sure everything was in tip top shape when he opened the doors tonight. After he finished most of his minor tasks one of his employees, a man in a black suit with a matching black hat and sun glasses walked up to and began to address him. "Sir I just check the inventory like you told me to. We should be alright on drinks but we're out of those little umbrellas. Also we're dangerously low on lemons."

Junior looked at the man and nodded before quickly reaching into his pocket to pull out a card of some sort to hand to the man. "Here take this and get us everything we need! I don't want us to run into any problems tonight!"

"Yes sir!" The man quickly walked away as another man dressed in a similar fashion walked up to Junior.

Then the second man began to speak. "Boss it seems that the Malachite Twins just called. They said they had an accident on the way here and will be a bit late getting here tonight."

Junior's expression seemed to shift slightly. It was now a mix of both concern and anger. "Damn those two! Why are they always missing when you need them the most?"

The man tilted his head and gave his employer a concerned look. "Hey boss what's the matter? You seem on edge tonight. Well you know more than usual anyway."

Junior let out another long sigh and took a moment to adjust his tie before responding. "It's the old man. He's coming to inspect the place tonight. Since it's thanks to his money that I was able get this place off the ground in the first place we can't disappoint. If he doesn't like what he sees it could be the end for us."

"Oh don't worry boss! We all got your back after all. If we all just stay calm and focused it will be just like any other night and everything will be fine." The man responded with a smile.

Junior nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right I am just worrying too much I guess. I mean what's the worst that can happen?"

*Crash*

At that moment a loud crashing sound echoed through the building followed by mix of panicked yells and screams that continued until the black suited man that left a moment ago rushed back through the doors of the bar and closed them behind himself. "Sir it's her! She seems really angry for some reason! Well more angry than usual!" The man yelled before the doors were blown open sending the man flying across the floor and landing at Junior's feet.

When the doors settled they revealed an indeed very angry Yang Xiao Long stumping through them. Her usual lilac eyes dyed a bright shade of red and her golden hair seemed to be lit ablaze by her aura. Yang's burning red eyes began to scan the room until they came to rest on Junior himself. Once the two made eye contact Yang's hateful expression became even more intense. "Junior, get your ass over here right now!" She roared.

The look of panic had now returned to Junior's face and even seeped into his voice as he began to speak. "Blondy, why are you here!?

Yang gave Junior an incredulous look before responding. "Oh I wonder! It couldn't have had anything to do with you ratting on me to my dad now could it?!" Yang shouted as she began to stump her way across the dance floor toward Junior.

A moment later and a look of understanding and fear appeared on Junior's face. "Oh you mean that, look Blondy that was…" Junior was interrupted when Yang grabbed hold of his collar and lifted him up off the ground.

"Well go on Junior, what was it?! I'm dying to hear why you thought it was a good idea to screw me over!" She roared.

Junior quickly threw up his arms in surrender. "Blondy listen that was for both of our sake you got to trust me on this one!"

Yang's eyes narrowed and she began to pull back a fist like she was readying a punch. "For both of our sake you say?! How is extorting my family doing me any good?! Do you know what you caused?! Thanks to your little stunt my dad all but disowned me! Now I have to pay my school fees on my own!"

"I know it sounds crazy Blondy but I couldn't let my father know I let a single girl walk all over me. If he found out about what happened he would have us both killed! So I had to figure some way to make up for the repair costs before he noticed. And I understand that you're angry but I will make it up to you I swear!"

Yang's expression shifted slightly to that of curiosity before dropping Junior back onto his feet causing him to stumble a slightly. Then she crossed her arms and began to speak. "Alright talk. How are you going to make this up to me?"

"Well you said you needed to pay off your school fees right?" Junior asked while straitening his tie.

Yang raised an eyebrow in response. "Yes, what are you going to try to pay me off? I have you know that I don't take hand outs from thugs."

"Good because that is not exactly what I had in mind. Don't take this the wrong way but you're a crazy terrifying woman." Yang gave him a slightly annoyed look that told him to get to the point. "Look none of my guys here can match you. So I had a thought. Why don't I just hire you?" He explained.

All the anger that Yang was displaying a moment ago had been replaced by confusion. "Wait let me see if I get this right. Are you offering me a job? You do know I'm a huntress right? So I don't really care for shady jobs. Also I may not look it but I'm still a minor."

"You don't have to worry about that. The shady stuff is for the grunts. I'm offering you a management position here in the bar. The pay will be generous enough that you could pay for school and then some and it will all be under the table so you won't have to worry about your age. Besides you already know most of the staff here so it should be easy to adjust." He reassured.

"You're really serious about this aren't you?" Yang inquired.

"Yes!" Junior said with the most serious face he could manage.

An awkward silence gripped the room as Yang looked away seemingly lost in thought. After a few minutes she finally turned back towards the black suited bear known as Junior. "Alright, why not give it a shot. When do I start?"

A smile appeared on Junior's face. The first real one he had worn all day. But it quickly faded as he looked back over the broken door and the knocked out man next to him. "Well how about right now!" Junior reached into the pocket of the unconscious man and pulled out the card he had given him moments ago. Then he presented the card to Yang. "Here it seems we're all out of those little umbrellas and are dangerously low on lemons. Do you think you can secure these supplies before we open in a few hours?"

"What, there are no little umbrellas?! I can't let that stand!" Yang said before snatching the card and making her way towards the door passing the Malachite Twins on her way out.

The twins turned towards each with both bearing a confused expression. "Hey Melanie was that who I think it was?" The red dressed sister asked.

"I don't know Militia but I am more worried about what happened here." The white dressed sister stated while she looked over the club taking in the damage and the injured man on the floor.

"Melanie! Militia! Where have the two of you been?!" Junior yelled.

The two girls spoke in sync as they turned to address him. "Sorry boss, some crazy girl on a black and yellow bike cut us off. We ended up in a ditch and needed to get a tow truck to get us out of it."

"Well it's good you're both ok and ready to work. We have a new girl starting here today and I get the feeling it's the start of something great here." He told them.

After exiting the club Yang made her way over to her favorite black and yellow motorbike she lovingly named bumblebee. "Working at Junior's club huh? I never thought I would be doing something like that."

After sitting down on her bike she pulled out her scroll to see if she had any missed calls or messages. She did indeed have three from her little sister Ruby. It seems she overheard Yang yelling at her scroll this morning but has no idea who she was talking to or what it was about. "I wonder how I'm going to tell my team about this. I guess I will just have to cross that bridge when I come to it." Yang then put on her helmet revved up her engine and sped off into the distance.
