Author's note: I am not gone! I am letting you all know now that I am still here. Writing like crazy because I have no WiFi with the place I currently live at. I am sitting at a Starbucks right now writing these chapters for you guys. A lot of shit has happened in the past month. I'm going to California for a week so I'm going to be posting as much as I can today to try and hold you all over. Just keep patient with me! I won't let you guys down!


Yang is more than a little a bit confused with the recent events that has been happening for the past few weeks. Blake has – more or less – completely stopped her teasing and her sarcastic comments since that day that Ruby had breakfast with them. The Faunas doesn't ever leave her room unless Yang gives her something to do. But even then, Blake won't really hold a conversation with the Huntress anymore and as soon as she is done with what she has to do, she goes straight back to that room to await for Yang to think of something else to get her out of the room.

Which is why today, Yang is going to be taking her out into the town.

She is in dire need of supplies and she does have plans to make that garden into something worth looking at. The Huntress never did forget Blake's complete fascination on making it the best garden ever. Yang watched Blake's face as different emotions played across her face with – what she hopes – is a mental list on what to get to create the perfect garden.

So why was she currently just standing outside the door to Blake's room? Well, because she wasn't exactly sure how to ask – or command – the Faunas to join her. She guesses that she could just tell her to follow and pat her leg as if Blake was a dog... But she doesn't see that going over well (especially since the Faunas is a cat).

Yang takes a deep breath and raises her hand. Just before she knocks she hears Blake call out through the door, "Are you just going to stand there all day?" The Blonde can't help the grin that spreads across her face. Maybe the Kitty is back to her normal state again.

The Huntress opens the door and takes a step in. Looking around she finds Blake staring at her reflection in the mirror before she turns towards Yang. "We are going out into town." Yang states. Damn, she was horrible at this. Even after all this time she can't seem to find the right tone of voice to speak towards Blake without sounding completely like a bitch.

Blake raises one eyebrow at the statement and her Amber eyes dance with mischief. Yeah, she was totally back to her normal self. "Are we now? Why the random need to take me with you?"

Yang leans back against the to the left of the open doorway, "I need to get some things and I won't be able to carry it all back by myself."

The Faunas' eyebrows furrow in confusion. "Carry? Don't you have a vehicle?"

The Huntress smirks, "Yes, but the town is close enough for a nice walk. Come on, it'll be good to get some exercise. Come some muscle on those bones you call legs."

Blake frowns and looks down at her legs. Yang has to admit that there is muscle all over her body, The Faunas being in great shape because all of the manual labor she has probably had to do for years, but Yang couldn't help but make fun of the lack of definition to those muscles. She totally plans on changing that. Today being just the beginning of the many days they will be walking to town and walking back. Actually, she thinks they will do this every day she doesn't have to go on a hunt. Which is rare but frequent enough to make sure Blake gets used to it.

Sighing, Blake stands up and walks towards Yang, stopping only a few feet away from the Blonde. "Are we going now?"

Yang nods her head and exits the room, Blake close behind her. "On the way towards town you don't have to worry about me showing that you are mine. Not many people walk along the road that leads to my house." She glances back at the Raven-haired girl, who is nodding in understanding. She opens the door and gestures Blake in front of her. "Once we are in town though, you'll have to stick close to me. I don't need someone to make up some stupid ass excuse to get you in trouble." Yang frowns, "Not even I can save you from the enforcers."

Blake looks back at Yang in surprise. The Huntress actually finding it really hard to look in those eyes filled with fear, "Is it too late to say that I don't really want to go now?" Blake says.

She actually started to think about that. Maybe it would be better to just take Bumblebee and go herself, if it meant that Blake won't get wrongly accused for anything stupid. The last thing Yang wants is to stand off to the side, completely helpless to stop anything they may deem worthy enough to punish the Faunas for her misdeed. But she really wanted Blake to come along as well. Why was this so hard to choose?

"I'll hold onto you from the back of your neck." Yang says.

She watches as the Faunas stops walking and turns back towards her. Those Amber eyes searching her own Lilac eyes. "If anything does happen, you'll be just as responsible." Blake states.

Yeah, she knew that. She also knows that they wouldn't bother to do anything too bad to her because she has does a lot for this town. Maybe she can get them a pass? Maybe. Or maybe nothing bad will happen at all and they are both completely over thinking things.

It is Yang's turn to let out a sigh and gesture towards the path they are taking, "Let's just get everything we need and then leave." She says sullenly. The Huntress was secretly hoping that they could actually spend some quality time together there. Possibly learn about what Blake likes. Even if she already knew everything about her slave, she doesn't know the little things. Things you can only find out by spending time with them.

She watches as Blake turns and starts to walk the way she gestured towards. A frown forming on her lips. Those ratty old clothes don't seem to be fitting the Faunas any more. Becoming too small for her body. The food and nutrition she was giving Blake obviously showing better now that it's been about a month.

Wow, a month with Blake. Something Yang thought wasn't going to happen. The Huntress shakes her head and starts to follow the Faunas. She hasn't done anything she said she was going to do to Blake. No, instead she was doing everything the opposite of what she said she was going to do. Taking care of the Faunas, learning about her, caring about her. God, how things changed since the day she first got her.

The Blonde absentmindedly grips onto her right arm. "How did that happen?"

The question startling the Blonde out of her thoughts as she focuses back on the girl in front of her. Blake glances over her shoulder at the Huntress before looking forward again. Yang's brows furrow, "You don't know how this happened?" The question coming out more harsh than she intended, the twitching of Blake's ears clearly telling her that.

"No." Blake answers with no emotion behind it.

Yang's grip tightens even more before her eyes glaze over with the memory. It only took her a few minutes to reply, "Adam." She says through clench teeth.

She knew that would cause the Faunas to pause in her walk, but to stop completely? That was something she wasn't expecting. Yang stops walking also and stares at Blake, watching as she slowly turns around to stare at Yang. The look at utter disbelief present on her face.

"What?"

"Adam." Yang repeats, "The leader of the White Fang." She takes a step towards the girl, "Him and about forty other White Fang members attacked Beacon." Her face is calm, showing no expression to the Raven-haired girl as she studies the looks the cross her face; disbelief, pain, sorrow, and regret. "Us Huntsmen and Huntresses were more than willing to stay out of the war. What we wanted was peace and to be able to protect everyone from the real threat out there. But then he leads a small army to come and attack us." She shakes her head, her eyes closing as she takes a deep breath. She can already feel the tremors of her anger rising. "My team and I... We were in the middle of the fight. First years for crying out loud and we just happened to be facing off against him." She let's out a small laugh, "I was such a fool..."

She stops then. She really didn't want to go into all the details at the moment. Especially with Blake right now. But she for some reason she couldn't help herself from taking another step forward, the anger form the memory bubbling to the surface, "How?" She asks quietly, but the tone of her voice must have sounded terrible if it caused Blake to take a step back. Yang looks directly into the Amber eyes, knowing full well that her eyes are red, "How do you not know about that!?" She points a finger at her, taking an aggressive step forward – again causing Blake to step back, "You were his right hand! You should have known about it!" Yang's hands ball into fists, "After that," Her voicing growing quiet as she tries to rein in her anger, "Not a single human was standing on the side of the Faunas."

Yang takes a deep breath and releases it slowly, "The last day you made an appearance on trying to settle this war peacefully, you asked how come no one was standing with you anymore." Yang opens her eyes back up, them being their normal lilac colors again, "It's because Adam ruined that for you. He wanted blood shed and war."

She watches as Blake digests that information. Finally something from the other side. Yang wasn't expecting Blake to accept it, so she wasn't surprised to see the Faunas shaking her head in defiance. "Adam wouldn't do that. He was trying to fight for the rights for Faunas, not try to take over everything!" Blake yells.

Yang just scoffs and crosses her arms, "Blind. Even now." She then waves her hand forward towards the town. "Let's go, we can argue about this later if you want." Blake huffs, her anger still obviously there, but does what Yang says. Yeah, this totally started out the way she wanted it to.


The two walked in silence all the way to the town, but the moment they got there, Yang did exactly what she said she would. She grabbed a hold of Blake on the back of her neck and steered her exactly where the Huntress wanted her to go.

They did the normal stuff. Shopped for some groceries and looked around some of the shops. But when they stopped in front of a shop that had everything they would need for their garden, Blake's eyes went wide with excitement causing Yang to giggle at the sight, which got her a glare from the girl, but who cares. That was the most adorable thing she has seen in awhile. It almost beat Ruby's puppy dog face. Almost.

"So, you know what we need, I'll be following you around in here." She says.

Blake looks up at her and nods her head, "Alright." And in they went.

The chime of the door went off and they noticed the owner about to greet them until her saw the collar around Blake, so he made direct eye contact with Yang, "Good afternoon ma'am!" He says with enthusiasm. "Welcome to my humble store! I hope you find everything you'll need!" Yang nods her head and then Blake starts to walk around the store.

Yang didn't take her hand away and Blake never told her to. They were still being really careful about their surroundings. The Huntress isn't afraid to let everyone know that it was Blake that knew what she was doing in her, but she didn't want the owner to throw a fit about a Faunas touching all his supplies without the 'Master keeping a leash on their animal'.

"Wheel barrel." Blake says. Yang nods her head and takes them over there, extremely aware of the owner watching the two closely. She looks over at the owner and he looks away quickly, but still sends glances their way. Blake grabs a wheel barrel and they two walk over to the bags of soil.

The Faunas is still a bit too week to lift the bags so Yang gave her loud instructions to stand there while she loaded a few into the Barrel, giving her a wink as she did so. Blake gives her a small smile, but does exactly as she says, maybe a bit too well considering Blake looks exactly like a statue as she stood there. Yang couldn't help but compare her to a real life cat.

After getting the soil, Blake has them get a few rakes and then they leave – after Yang gives the owner a few hundred lien, fucking rip-off.

"Can you believe how much money that was?" Yang whispers lowly, but knowing that Blake's cat ears caught them. The smirk she has letting her know that she had indeed heard that. Yang smiles, "Too bad he is the only store that has everything we need. Maybe if I flirt a little and flaunt my gauntlets, he'll give us a discount next time."

That got Blake to give a laugh. The people walking by giving her weird looks, which Yang gave them a smile in return. Deciding it was best to wait till they got out of town before she continued complaining or thinking of different plans to get discounts, she stayed quiet. But not before catching Blake say loud enough only for her, "Just wiggle your chest a little. That will cause him to pass out form blood loss." She lets out a snort and giggle from that.

"Probably."

Then they were in silence.


"Yang, you should really consider getting yourself someone to help out."

The Huntress turned around to face her sister. They were both standing in the middle of The Blonde's living room. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion at Ruby, "Did Weiss get you to try to talk me into getting a slave?"

Ruby looked everywhere but at Yang, her hand rubbing the back of her head in nervousness, "W-well, I mean, it's not an entirely bad idea. This place is pretty big for one person and we think that it would be a good idea to, you know, get some help." The girl's eyes widened in realization at what she said, "Not that I think that you need help because you are crazy!" She exclaimed, waving her hands back and forth in front of she makes eye contact with Yang.

Yang let her sister panic for a few more minutes, letting the girl dig herself a bigger grave before finally placing a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "Alright, I'll get someone to help me around the house."

Ruby paused and really looked at Yang, "Really?"

"Really. But!" She said, stopping her sister from jumping in joy from her triumph on getting her to do what Weiss wanted her to do, "It'll be someone I want. Tell Weiss to get me all the information I'll need on Blake Belladonna."

Ruby froze at that, "B-blake?"

Yang nodded her head, "Yep." She said with a pop on the 'p'. "I don't want any other Faunas but her." She could feel her eyes get cold and distant as she stared at Ruby.

After a few moments, her sister hesitantly nodded her head in acknowledgment. "I'll try." and then she was gone.

Yang walked over to her couch and flopped down on it. Her eyes staring at nothing in particular. She was finally going to do it. Finally going to get some kind of justice from everything that has happened to her since when they joined the war tell the very end of it. Having Adam die at the end of the war just wasn't enough. She needed more.
