AN:

Pawz here with another chapter for you lovely Readers! I know it has been a while since I updated and I'm sorry about that. I should have another out sometime this week (hopefully).

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY!

"Ugh, why did you pull us away, Uncle Qrow?" Ruby asked with a small whine. "Kali and Weiss just got us yummy treats."

"All you care about lately is cookies or Weiss," Yang said and chuckled as Ruby playfully shoved her.

"Not true! I care about Beacon and Uncle Qrow and…" Ruby tilted her head and tapped her chin. "Too many to list but yeah I care about others."

Qrow chuckled and looked over his shoulder at his two young nieces as he led them away from the café. "We have to meet some friends of mine. Blake's parents will be around for a few days so you'll have time to talk later."

Yang pulled out the bag of cookies and bit into one in front of Ruby. "Who are we meeting exactly?"

"Yang share!" Ruby growled and grabbed the bag.

Yang smirked and pulled the bag away from Ruby. "Ask nicely."

"Yang please?" Ruby pouted again and Yang let go of the bag.

"Old friends of mine, Firecracker," Qrow said with a smile as he was lost in his thoughts and came to a stop in front of the fountain in the middle of Beacon's courtyard. Qrow looked around to see very few students out. "They should already be here."

"Maybe they got held up in a meeting?" Ruby asked and sat down on the edge of the fountain, hiding the bag of cookies from Yang.

"They know to wait for me here while I went to fetch you two," Qrow said and looked at Ruby. "Now you share," Qrow smirked at Ruby's pout.

"I don't have to share with you, Uncle Qrow. You hate sweets." Ruby mumbled and Qrow stole the bag and sat between her and Yang. "Well, I need something to do while we wait."

Yang looked around the courtyard before her eyes landed on Qrow. "Why are we really here? You say to meet friends but you never just randomly have us meet your friends without a reason and you don't eat sweets at all. You think it's silly to even have a sweet…fang." Yang mumbled the last part and Qrow chuckled.

"Yes, I hate sweets but…I just…" Qrow looked at Ruby then at Yang. "I miss you girls and seeing you two here becoming what my old team was…just fills my heart. The fact you two are becoming Huntresses and not Bandits just show I did right by raising you two…All Summer ever wanted for her two girls." Qrow whispered and bit into another cookie. "Not a single day goes by that I don't think of Sum, Tai, or you two."

Ruby looked down at her cookie in her hand and sighed. "Would she even be proud of us? Becoming Huntresses, fighting Grimm, and all that?" Ruby looked up at her Uncle and saw him smile a little.

"Yeah…She wanted to be the best she could be for her girls. Something you two could be proud of, live up to." Qrow said and looked up at the sky. "I like to think she did. In the texts, you read about a great Huntress wearing a white cloak that fought off many Grimm to protect people she barely knew." Qrow smirked and looked at Ruby. "Why do you think Old Man Oz wanted you and Yang in his school? Your last names are a proud line in the Hunter world, many do believe those lines are gone sadly but…"

Yang stood up and closed her eyes. "So, it's either become a Hunter or Bandit?" Yang turned to look at her Uncle. "You know why I ask, Ruby may be unaffected but I still feel like I'm losing a battle I never had a chance to win."

Qrow sighed and handed Ruby the bag of cookies. "I know, Firecracker, sadly it is in our bloodline. You can fight it but if you keep going without blood you won't stand a chance. Bloodlust is one of the biggest downfalls for our kind and if you don't keep it in check…"

"You will become like your mother. You've heard this more than once yet you do nothing to fight against your lust."

The three looked over to see a tall man walking towards them with a few people around him, one standing familiar to the girls being Pyrrha.

"She has been working on it, Zeus," Qrow said and smiled at the man standing before him. "Where did you run off to? I said I wasn't going to be long."

"Ah, yes, but I wanted to see my daughter," Zeus said and placed his hand on Pyrrha's shoulder. "Found her with this young lad instead." Zeus patted Jaune on the back hard making him almost fall over.

"At least he isn't dead yet," Ruby whispered to Yang and both shared a grin.

"I can hear you two, you know?" Zeus said and looked at both Ruby and Yang. "But you two must be the young girls I always hear about. Rose and Xiao Long?"

Ruby nodded her head and smiled as Yang looked over Zeus. "Yeah, and you are Pyrrha's dad?"

Zeus chuckled and walked towards Qrow. "A lot like her old man indeed."

Yang looked at Pyrrha then at Jaune who stood there awkwardly. "We should let Jaune go so we can talk privately?"

Jaune looked at Yang then at Pyrrha. "Why don't we just let the adults talk and go train?"

"Well that is an idea; let's go see what your girls know," Zeus said and walked away from the group to the training hall.

Pyrrha sighed and looked at Jaune. "Great thinking there, Jaune."

"What did I do?" Jaune asked and was led after Zeus by Pyrrha.

"This is going to be entertaining," Ruby mumbled under her breath and what was left of the group went after Zeus.

-CPz-

"This was a bad idea," Ruby said out loud as she sat in between Qrow and Pyrrha with Jaune beside her.

"Very bad." Jaune agreed, looking pale in the face like he did the first day.

"She has this. She is Xiao Long." Qrow whispered under his breath and watched his Firecracker face off against Zeus.

"But why her?" Jaune asked and sunk deeper into his seat.

"There is a lot you don't know," Pyrrha whispered and felt Ruby grab her hand.

Yang looked over at her friends and smiled. I got this; he is just another bigger opponent to fall victim in this match. Yang thought and looked at Zeus who stood across from her on the training field.

"Let's see if you carry the Xiao Long name proudly like your old man," Zeus said and stretched out his arms. "Draw your weapon, young one."

Yang smirked and held up her hands in fists, spreading her legs into a defensive stance. Her gauntlets becoming the famous Ember Celica and her lilac eyes shined bright under the lightening in the training hall. "Bring it, Pops."

Zeus smiled wide and slid out his claymore from his back and held it high, closing his eyes he summoned electricity from his own sword.

"What the…" Jaune said with wide eyes as he sat back up.

"He has electricity dust infused into his claymore. It activates from his semblance when he gets hit and his Aura feeds power into the blade itself." Qrow spoke up before Pyrrha could and her green eyes landed on him. "I've known him for a long time." Qrow chuckled and his red eyes never left the blade. "I also helped designed that blade."

"Maybe I should come to you when I need to upgrade my weapon," Jaune mumbled as his blue eyes trailed the design of Zeus' claymore.

"He does like to show off." A woman said smiling before looking down at the group. "My name is Athena, I didn't introduce myself earlier."

Pyrrha smiled and looked back at her father. "I'm glad you two showed up but…does he really have to fight against my own friend?"

"You know your father doesn't back down from a fight," Athena said and sat beside Qrow.

Yang looked from Zeus to Qrow and smiled. Everyone is watching, just focus and walk away alive. Yang thought as her eyes landed on Zeus once again. She didn't want to hurt Pyrrha's dad but was left with no choice since she couldn't turn down a fight. He is a vampire just like me. This should be fun at least.

"Come now, Xiao Long, don't just stand there. Ladies first." Zeus said and held up his hands in the air, his smile never leaving his face.

"You asked for it," Yang whispered and lunged forward then to the side, moving a little faster than the normal eye could see and she made the first contact of her fist against his back.

Zeus moved slightly forward before he swung his claymore and made contact with Yang in her side.

Yang grunted and fell to her knee, slightly distracted by the fact Zeus barely moved from her assault. Well, this is going to be harder…

"Come now, child, is this left of the Xiao Long legacy?" Zeus asked and laughed as he walked around Yang.

Yang gritted her teeth and looked up to see Ruby staring back at her, fear in those silver eyes made Yang snap. "Now you are just pissing me off with this comparison of my Father and me," Yang said and looked up at Zeus with red eyes as she stood up, her fangs clearly showing at this point.

Zeus smirked and lifted his claymore onto his shoulder. "Exactly what I wanted to see. Those red eyes. You aren't just a Xiao Long, you are also a Branwen." Zeus turned his back to Yang and dismissed his claymore as he walked back to the group. "Let us return to what we need to talk about, young one," Zeus said and looked over his shoulder at Yang. "You have a lot to learn before we truly fight, Yang."

Screams filled the night air surrounding the camp as Raven waited outside the tent her new friend was temporary staying in.

"I should have left you behind," Raven growled low under her breath as she entered the tent.

"That wouldn't be very nice of you. Then again you need me alive for our little arrangement to work." A voice filled the darkness inside the tent and Raven stared at the man sitting in a large leather chair stained with blood from the dying human in his arms.

Raven growled low and looked down at the young human girl in his arms. "At least clean up after yourself, Adam. I don't need unwanted attention here because of a stupid fledgling."

"Not my fault I can't contain this lust," Adam said and dropped the lifeless body onto the ground. "Teach me something for once and maybe I'll care more."

Raven shook her head and leaned back against the table. "What happened to a young Faunus like yourself to become cruel and full of hatred?" Raven asked with sadness in her voice.

"My father," Adam said and looked down at the body. "He is why I hate Humans…"

Raven tilted her head and looked Adam over. "Who is your father, boy?"

Adam growled low and walked up to Raven, looking at her behind his white mask. "Why do you care?"

"Because I need to know what fills your anger and hatred before I can fully train you. My daughters had centuries to learn everything and you can't stand up against them in your…new state." Raven said low and crossed her arms over her chest. "You don't scare me, Adam, I may be an old vampire and stronger than you but…I do have a heart at rare times. I may not be like Ruby and care right away but that's what makes me stronger. Unlike her mother…" Raven said with sadness in her voice and she looked down.

"So you do care…" Adam said and took off his mask, blue eyes staring back at Raven. "Head of Schnee Dust Company is my father…"

Raven's eyes widen and she pushed off the table. "Jacques Schnee is your father…Ruby's girlfriend is your…"

Adam closed his eyes and he chuckled. "Sadly…yes."

"We do have a lot to discuss." Another voice said from behind them and a new type of darkness filled the tent surrounding them.

AN:

I know I might've created some hate here at the ending but I wanted to make Adam as cruel and dark as possible in this story (it is about vampires after all). Raven has her moments with struggling her inner demons of being a mother at times to the monster she truly is deep down. Zeus walking away from the fight was to teach Yang a lesson we will see in the next chapter. (Who knows, maybe a fight between Zeus and Nora soon? The pawssibilities are endless).
