And here is another chapter, a bit of a long one that was combine with the chibi episode and my own input scene a little for something different. Enjoy!

DDK does not own RWBY

About a week or two has passed by after Tai and Qrowe had their argument after leaving the PTC over at Beacon, in which the latter of the two had spent the weeks away on long term mission away from home until Taiyang went out one day when he learned that Qrowe was currently back in Vale and hanging out at her favorite bar called the 'Crow Bar' in which was ironic enough a bit. By sunset Tai had arrived at the docks where the open bar was located and already not one minute later did the blonde found who he was looking for, Qrowella was seated in one of the booths with the bartender behind the counter cleaning one of glass mugs with a rag and the Branwen woman had one half-filled in her own that she was drinking out of.

"Can I help you with anything, sir?" the bartender had asked the blonde man in a friendly tone, one of which Tai had a grim expression in remembering the last time he had a alcoholic beverage that he nearly choke and die on before shaking his head.

"No, no thank you. I'm not really here for a drink, I'm actually looking for her." he said nodded towards Qrowe, said black hair an red eyed woman would turn her head slightly to look back with one eye before turning back forward.

"Sorry pal but not interested." Qrowe told him before turning back to sip her drink, for that caused Tai to nearly lost his balance from her words before shaking it off.

"What? No! Qrowe that's not why I'm here, I came to apologies." he told her before taking a seat next to her. In which said woman still didn't turn to him and was more focus on her drink.

"For…what? Being too awesome? Making things look easy? Caring too much?" Qrowe questioned before taking a moment to take a small sip of her drink, afterwards she would continue, "I failed to see what you need to apologies for, being as a cool, responsible, caring father." she said with a small bit of venom in her voice while looking away from the man next to her. At that moment the friendly bartender saw the hints of small tension building up, so he wisely move away to give the two privately…at least close enough to a panic button that would bring the police.

"For…what I said back in Beacon, bringing up your family…it was uncalled for." Tai told her, and when he saw that the black haired woman still didn't turn to him he would continued, "I learned enough from Raven that you are completely different, I also wanted to apologies for the way I acted back at Beacon a week ago, I-" he would've continue had Qrowella not put a hand up to his face to halt him.

"Stop, stop alright already! Gods ya gonna make me vomit if you keep acting like this, so I forgive you and I'm sorry too. Blah blah blah and all that sorry stuff, can we just go home now?" Qrowe asked as she finished up her drink then would dig into her pockets to pull out a few lien to pay for her drink and tip the bartender. Being as she already forgotten about their argument and wanted to move on instead of looking back in the past, that and she already drowned it form the number of alcoholic drinks she had.

"Oh. Yeah, sure Qrowe that seems fair." the blonde man said as he gotten up from his seat, Qrowe gotten up as well…only for her to stumble on her own footing due to her drunken state. Before she would fallen down Tai had quickly came and caught her, "Here, let me." was all he said before Tai picked the Branwen woman up…and position her in his arms bridal-style.

"Damn it, I don't need to be carried Tai!" Qrowella protested, with her face turning red from the way she was being held along with a drunken hiccup that followed after.

"Oh would you just be quiet? This isn't easy for me either, but this would keep you from leaning over an throwing up on the side." Tai would tell her as the bartender would wave them off after he collected the lien and the blonde man continue to carry the dark haired woman through the streets and towards the bullheads to take them to Patch.

For Qrowella herself she would remain silent, though she had her head planted on Tai's chest where the beating sounds of his heart that she could here. So she just remain quiet and pressed her ear to listen to the beatings until she doze off to sleep, for Tai himself he could feel his former-partner shift in his arms to get comfortable that made him blush from every odd stranger that he passed and gave him looks that made the blonde man quicken his pace. The sooner that he gets Qrowe in bed the sooner that Tai can drop onto his couch and fallen asleep.

One week later.

Things had soon started to settle down when the two adults made amends, much to both Ruby and Yang's relief knowing that their Dad and Aunt are no longer 'angry' at each other even if it wasn't much and they were talking again. Qrowella had started to cooked Tai breakfast once to make it up to him, hence the word 'once' when she nearly burned down the house by accidently set some egg's on fire. Weither it was her bad luck semblance or Qrowe was just a terrible cook, either way Tai as much as he appreciate her trying would forbid the woman from being near the kitchen stove again after he replaced it with a new one and Qrowella didn't argue with that.

So pretty much things went back to normal as the weekend started, in which right now Tai was sitting at the dining room table with his scroll out that had a holo-screen display for a computer screen along with the base scroll itself acting like a keyboard and a mouse in his right hand. He was on a website that dating site that Port had mention to him, called 'Lonely Huntsman' with a heart sharp at the end of it, as far as the blonde knew it was a dating site where Huntsmen and Huntresses that were either single, divorced, or widowed that are looking to try finding someone special again or looking for a single date to filled up their lonely life. Given that Tai's recent love life had been spiral down and he focused most of his life raising his daughters the blonde huntsman himself decided to check it out to see what gotten his old friend interest in, he wasn't surprised to see plenty of files set up on the dating sight and Tai admitted the Huntress on the website are attractive so Tai decided to make himself a profile on the site then submitted to wait for the results…two days ago.

"Still no matches? Maybe I'm doing this wrong…." Tai said to himself after sighing sadly, looking as how his file hasn't found any matches of any other Huntresses that were interested in him. It was at that moment that he forgotten that it was one of the girls weekend visits to Patch when Ruby pops up.

"Doing what wrong?" the young girl asked with a curious expression, thus scaring Tai near to death from her pop up on his left side.

"Wait! Nothing! Wha-Where'd you come from? Go back there!" Tai exclaimed out of embarrassment of being caught red handed, his hands covering Ruby's face to shield her from reading the website. However the young girl was able to push his hands away and squinted her eyes at the site on the screen.

"Dad, are you going to inappropriate places on the internet?" Ruby asked, with a tone in her voice that stated like she was disappointed in her father.

"What?! No! How do you even know about those…?" Tai asked while looking at his youngest daughter.

"Aunty Qrowe." was all that Ruby said as her disappointment tone quickly change to cheerful with a bright smile on her face.

"Of course, I've should've known that…." the blonde father said with his shoulders slump down, it was at that moment that his eldest daughter would pop in on his right side looking into the screen.

"Who is 'LoveDaddy' ?" she questioned after reading the profiles name, in which Tai would panic and started pressing random buttons on the keyboard and clicking the mouse madly to close the screen. But since he was in a panic he couldn't focus on the task.

"Huh, wha- nobody! Everybody get away! I-uh, got hacked!" he said to everyone until Yang would look at the websites name and put two to two together of what this was about.

"Oh my gosh, is this a dating site?" the blonde brawler girl asked, looking abit surprise that their own father was putting himself back on the market to look for someone. With a sigh Tai just gave up from trying to hide it no longer.

"Okay, fine! I'm "LoveDaddy". Happy now? Haha, go ahead, everyone make fun of me!" Tai would exclaimed causing his daughters to shift back by his raised tone of voice, then they watch him slump his shoulders sadly and looked down at the floor, "I haven't gotten a single match, so you all can laugh twice as hard I guess…" he would say in a disappointment tone. Both sisters would frown at looking depressive father, the girls would look at one another for a moment…then both smile, nodding, and pushed their dad back and took control of the computer. "What're you doing?" Tai asked in confusion.

"If you want girls to like you, we have to make you sound more dangerous." Yang answered as she was using the mouse button to click randomly and wildly, her sister Ruby taking the keyboard an her fingers were rapidly typing down on it to add in more details for Tai's profile.

"I'm dangerous." Tai would say in a low tone in the background, letting his daughters take over.

"But dependable." Ruby spoken with one finger up on one hand while the other continue typing before the other hand returned.

"An edgy thrill-seeker." Yang added with her free hand smoothing out as she kept clicking with her right hand on mouse.

"I seek thrills." Tai said now getting his spirit up form his girls helping him out, thinking this might actually work.

"Yet responsible!" the youngest daughter said remembering times he took care of them while Aunty Qrowe was out.

"Yeah, I'm a single dad." the blonde man said while smiling.

"A brooding bad boy." when Yang said that Tai wasn't sure on the 'brooding' part but he can get behind on the last sentence…sort of.

"With a wholesome sense of humor!" Ruby added, though she made a cringe at what she said but too late as she already typed it down an just rolled with it.

"People say I'm funny….ish." Tai muttered the last part to himself while rubbing the back of his head, he continue to watch the girls work until they were done a minute later. With the profile updated the girls look at their handy work and nodded with approval.

"There we go. The 'LoveDaddy' is officially on the hunt! Look out, ladies." Yang said as she gave her father a wink knowing he got this, with her sister help they were certain a single Huntress would take interested into their father's profile. And speaking of Huntress…

"What's this saying about 'ladies'?...And who is 'LoveDaddy'?" the voice of Qrowella Branwen spoken when she entered the dining room.

However she was abit under dress as the older woman was wearing a grey tank top and black panties as a sleepwear and didn't get dressed when she woken up. Qrowe had came in late from a 'Girl's Night' with some old classmate she ran into the previous night and currently her shoulder length black hair was in a bigger mess than usual, along with her left hand nursing her head from a hangover she woken up with, and in her right hand was holding a mug with Beacon's emblem on it. There were rare times that she would drink coffee, not as much as Ozpin likes to drink or Oum forbid Oobleck but Qrowe does enjoy the scent of the warm liquid steaming out from her cup. Tai, however, went crimson red on his face of a blush from seeing his old partner's current attire that he quickly avert his eyes away and closed them shut.

"Gah, Qrowe! Do…do you even own pants anymore? I will buy you a pair!" Tai told her, with a small eye peeking for a slight moment till he quickly close them, Ruby and Yang weren't bothered by their Aunt's current attire after seeing her dress in less when they were little.

Qrowella though would ignore the blonde man in favor of sipping her mug, then glance her red eyes over at the holo-screen to take in the info. She had heard of 'Lonely Huntsman' from a number of her friends that sign up, even some had tried to get her into it but Qrowe would've prefer the old fashion way of dating, in which was picking up some strangers that she'd hooked up in whichever bar's she been in. So from the looks of it Tai had taken interest of setting up a file, most of what she read she can tell it was from her nieces wrote them down and there were some form Tail himself, however when she glance over at his age Qrowe nearly choked on her coffee and cough abit before she spoken up.

"Ooh. You better lie about your age a little, pal. Most women are into younger Huntsman these days, and maybe put up a shirtless selfie too." Qrowella told him as the Branwen twin would take a sip of her coffee before adding, "Like that monkey faunus I seen in Vale the other day but a shirt wide open, man does that kid got some abs on him." Qrowe stated with a small purr in her tone from remembering. In which both of her nieces would cringe an made gross like expressions from their Aunt taken interest in Sun, Tai meanwhile had a frown on his face, either it was out of upset that Qrowe insulted his age…or was out of slight jealousy.

"Y'know what? I see now that this was a terrible idea." the blonde man said, but before anything else can be said there was a small alert ping form his scroll that Yang was now checking out. "Wait…was that a match?" he asked his daughter, now getting excited that his girls editing worked. However from the way his elder daughters expression said otherwise.

"Before you get too excited, I had to widen the net a little bit." Yang said as Ruby had too took a look into it along with Qrowe.

"Isn't that the upper classmen girl from Haven I told you about sis?" the younger girl asked while looking at 'iBurn' profile with a picture of Cinder Fall on it, however in this picture it look like she was scheming something like a evil plan.

"If it is, then she needs to lie about her age better. I've seen better from amateurs." Qrowella stated as she sips the rest of her coffee. At hearing Qrowe say that caused Tai to slump his shoulders as in defeat.

"Yeah, like I said this was a terrible idea." as he said this the blonde man would make his way out of the dinning room and towards the back door, opening it he would pause to speak out, "I'm gonna be in the back doing some yard work, if anyone needs me." and after that he left the house. Afterword's the two daughters look sad at the depressive state their father was in once again…until the younger of the two had a idea pop in her head.

"Oh! I know, what if we set up Dad for a blind date?" Ruby asked as she was willing to try again to helping her father out.

"That's a great idea sis! We can ask Weiss of what's the best place fancy restaurant in Vale, find someone that Dad knows and likes, and then set them up and bam! One fantastic night on a dinner date." Yang would explained while slamming her fist into an open palm of her hand with a big smile, in which Ruby would squealed of how it sound romantic in her imaginary head.

"That all sounds…good girls, but there is one small hole that's a problem with this plan." the last female of the group of three spoken out as Qrowe stood back an listen to her nieces plotting until she voiced her opinion into the matter. "Exactly where are you gonna find a woman, any woman that Tai knows and likes, that you can convince her to go out on a date with your father?" when Qrowe asked that statement both girls took a moment then frown as their Aunt's words sunk into their heads.

Qrowella does know that her nieces hearts were in the right place at wanting to make their father happy but sometimes real life can be cruel in oppose to happy fairy tales, she should know cause most of her life Qrowella and Raven grew up in a bandit tribe an the terrible things that were done to other people when at their weakness. Just before that she would go and comfort the two girls Qrowe stopped herself when she notice both sisters heads suddenly perk up…then slowly turn their heads towards the Branwen woman as red eyes started into both silver and lilac eyes as well as the growing smiles on their lips.

"….Oh no. No no no!" Qrowe protested with her head shaking as well as a growing blush on her cheeks when the girls kept looking at her.

"Okay then Aunt Qrowella, if you won't cooperate willing then you leave me with no choice but to use….the 'secret weapon'!" Yang said dramatically, in which the older Branwen woman would suddenly take in a sharp gasp as she stared at her elder niece with glaring red eyes.

"Your bluffing….you wouldn't dare to use 'that' against your dear old aunt." the dark hair woman stated in which the blonde brawler would just grin at her.

"Sorry aunty, but you leave me no choice. Behold!" exclaimed Yang as she deployed the weapon…by holding her baby sister up in her arms infront of their aunt. Rather than protesting Ruby would stare at Qrowella…with those big shiny teary silver eyes. For this Qrowe had started to nearly panic on the inside as she looked at her youngest niece, taking slow breaths in through her nose and focus on not sweating before she spoke in a calm collected voice.

"You two are more fiendish than Grimm….but I will not break." the older woman said calmly as she now shift her eyes from looking at the youngest to the oldest teen girl.

"Is that so? Then best bring out the heavy artillery, Ruby?" Was all that Yang said as said girl, who was still staring at Qrowe, would pull up a furry object to her chest. That object being the name of…Zwei!

"…..!" if Qrowella wasn't sweating before then she is now, as continue looking at the matching sad expressions of both Ruby and Zwei combine together that were breaking the older woman's wall of defense, "…..I hate you both…" until her will was finally broken and both girls an corgi made a cheer in celebration. Qrowe would watch all three of them basking in victory until a thought came to her.

"I hope Raven never finds out about this." she thought to herself.

Meanwhile

"Um…Raven, are you certain everything is alright? You've…been in here all morning, sharpening your blade non-stop." Vernal questioned after stepping inside the tent that Raven Branwen was housed within the bandit stronghold. Said woman was currently stroking a whetstone slowly against the edges of her odachi sword while sitting on her bed with her back turn to the tent's entry.

"I'm fine Vernal, I'm just making extra certain that it's ready for use in a later time…." Raven responded to her, calm and cool in her tone of voice however she still had her back turn towards the young woman and was still sharpening her weapon.

"Okay, I know how you've always make preparations for upcoming raids, but now I know something is wrong. You've been acting strange ever since your return trip from Vale a week ago, and now the others are starting to see that something is up with your unusual behavior. I just- " Vernal had started to walk up slowly behind the older woman to reach a hand out, but she had jump back in fright when Raven sharply turn towards her.

"I've said I'm FINE! It's not like I just have any reason to be upset over the fact that a certain 'sister' of mine that was being carried by a former lover, whose is the father of my only daughter, and that I see a connection forming between them enough to get me raged in jealousy and caused a reckless mistake of drawing Grimm here. No, I am not foolish enough to cause that so I am fine as I've said." the elder of the Branwen Twins stated carefully in a calm voice to explain towards her second in command, so she doesn't see the problem here.

However while the older woman may 'think' she is calm, Vernal had a different thought in mind when she saw the red aura flame blazing out from around Raven's eye's to show that her Spring Maiden powers were being active. Nor did the young woman bring up the fact that their scouts had reported that Grimm, mostly Beowolve's and Ursa packs, had came close to their strong hold a few times…only for them to pause for a sec and made a hasty retreat as if out of fear of death that was waiting for them and even a flock of Nevermore' s quickly flew away quickly from the sudden growing storm gathering in the sky.

"Right, just making sure. I'll uh…go check our supplies to re-count them. Again." Vernal quickly said before she back walked quickly out of the tent and left the tribe leader alone.

When the young woman left, Raven would let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding and her maiden powers vanished when she was calm down, before turning back to her sword where she was lost in thought for a moment as if re-calling the memories that played through her mind a week ago, where she was in her raven bird form spying on a certain couple to check up on. "….Damn you Qrowella."

Now I'm not one hundred percent certain but next chapter might be a last for this story unless people really like it for me to keep going or maybe make a squeal to it. Not sure yet because been focus on writing and posting the other stories but I have to say writing this one has been entertaining and I'm glad to know some people are enjoying this.

And who knows, maybe I might make another one that involve Qrow and Winter's banter antics from the original and chibi series.

See ya next time! DDK out.
