Have another special from me, my fellow readers.
I do not own RWBY nor BlazBlue.

"She's fine, Raven. The guy may not look like it, but Summer's right about him being reliable."
"Your way of convincing others is terrible."
Tai sighed. His wife could be so overprotective at times, but that's what he loved most about her, along with some other things. Oh yeah. Especially those other things. "You don't trust him, do you? C'mon, Raven. It's been nearly a month since then, and nothing's happened!"
"And maybe that's what he wants us to think!" Raven snapped. "He could be abusing Yang for all we know, and if so she probably hid all the marks and bruises so that we wouldn't take action!"
Tai shook his head, finding what his wife was saying to be something that was absolutely ridiculous. "Just how extreme can you get? Now you're just being silly."
"I am not being silly!" Raven snapped, slightly pissed.
His wife was good when it came down to being stubborn, he'll give her that.
"Alright alright, you're not being silly. My bad." Tai scratched the back of his head and turned away with a roll of his eyes. "Now, seeing that you're worried sick, why don't we go and check up on Yang? We have a few minutes to spare before work starts, anyway."
"Fine." Raven took her sheathed blade from their dinner table and walked to their front door, intent on visiting Summer's house to see how her daughter was doing. "If I see him doing anything suspicious to our daughter, then I will not hesitate to cut him down."
Tai sighed. "I never did say anything about bringing your weapon along. What are you trying to do, commit murder in our neighbour's house?"
"Close," Raven answered.
"Raven!" Tai scolded as he quickly followed after her. His wife was beyond stubborn at times, and that large part of her hadn't changed one bit since their first meeting back in Beacon Academy. He wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or a good thing. For now, he'll just have to go with both.
"I'm just being cautious about this," Raven calmly explained, stepping out of the house and was followed by her husband seconds later. She then quickly drew her long blade, much to Tai's chagrin. "Who knows what I'll see once I enter Summer's house. That asshole could be stealing her belongings without herself even noticing for heaven's sake!"
"If that happens, then let me handle it!" Tai exclaimed. "There is no need for unnecessary violence. Words are there for a reason, y'know. Now, make me proud by putting your weapon away. Please."
Raven shot her husband a sharp glare.
If Tai was anyone else right now, then he would probably be shitting bricks at the sight. But fortunately for him, after spending so many years of being with Raven, instead of a terrifying monster on the verge of going berserk, all he saw now was a grumpy woman who happened to be his wife.
Though Tai had to admit the fact that she looked cute whenever she was in a grumpy mood, but he made sure to keep that as a well-guarded secret lest his wife would murder him due to pure embarrassment.
"C'mon, make me proud here, Raven." Tai smiled. "I know you want to."
"Tch…" Raven, with a bit of pink dusting her cheeks, closed her eyes and then decided to keep her blade away, grumbling to herself as she did. Despite attempting to hide it, she knew that Tai knew she was embarrassed. Taiyang was her husband for a reason, after all. "Happy now?"
Tai opened his mouth to respond, only for him to jump in alarm later on when an explosion occurred somewhere inside Summer's house. "What the heck!?"
Raven quickly drew her blade once more, eyes narrowing. "I knew it!" Just when she was about to make her way over to the house and slice the front door to pieces, the sight of that very same door she had planned on destroying being blasted apart made her freeze, then soon after she was even more confused when Terumi suddenly came running out of the house with his signature cloak up in flames. "What in the world…?" she found herself asking.
"Y-You're asking me," Tai responded, eyeing Terumi with worry evident in his eyes.
"Crap crap crap crap crap!" Terumi cursed repeatedly as he quickly took off his burning cloak, attempting to put out the fire by doing whatever he could with only his legs afterwards. "That brat! I do something nice for once, and all I get in return is an explosion to the face and a burning cloak!" he growled.
Tai and Raven cocked their eyebrows.
"That's what you get for touching my hair!" Yang shouted as she exited the house, all the while shooting a glare in her caretaker's direction with her bright red orbs.
"That's because Summer told me to comb your hair earlier today, you ungrateful nitwit!" Terumi retorted, pissed off no doubt. "Now look at what you've done to my cloak, and the living room!"
"For your information, nearly everyone I know isn't allowed to touch my hair!" Yang clarified, pointing at him. "Not even Dad dares to touch my hair without my permission, so what makes you think that you're worthy enough?"
Tai released a nervous chuckle at that. "Yeah. I remember her first haircut…"
Raven rolled her eyes. "Well it was your fault for fooling her into thinking that you were going to give her a head massage," she pointed out.
"Worthy enough? So what you're saying is that I'm not worthy enough of touching your hair?" Terumi, with his cloak now fine but slightly damaged thanks to the fire from earlier, turned to the little blonde with a glare so intense that it would make even the toughest of men shit bricks and eggs for their own breakfast. Too bad Yang was on a completely different level, despite her age. "Are you trying to challenge me?"
"What's the point?" Yang turned away and went back inside the house. "Besides, why would I even want someone like you touching my hair, anyway? And I don't even want to know where your hands have been…"
"Hey!" Terumi quickly made his way back inside the house with the intention of chasing after the little yellow devil. "I'm going to comb your hair even if it's the last thing I do! You hear me!?" he declared.
And not long after his declaration, another explosion occurred.
"Should we like…make sure that they don't damage the house any further?" Tai asked, but after receiving no response he curiously turned to his wife, only to find that the woman was smiling to herself, oddly enough. "Raven?"
Raven chuckled. She then sheathed her blade, shaking her head ever so slightly soon afterwards. "My daughter has grown so much," she said, sounding genuinely proud.
Tai silently stared at his wife, before saying, "You're just satisfied to see our daughter giving him trouble, aren't you?"
