How's it going everyone I'm here to give you another chapter for this series because I been meaning to finish this for awhile
This chapter was actually inspired by two things. The first was because of a song called La Vanille that was made by Chalili 茶理理 on youtube. It was so nice to listen to and the story that song was telling was just so nice that I had to do something with it.
The second, which is what I used for down below, is an image I found called The Auburn Vale by Qrow-Silvermane at Deviantart. I read the description of the image and it just made me even more inspired to write this chapter. So check both of those out because both of those works inspired this chapter
Alright so that's about all I have, so before we begin

"Center yourself Yang, don't lean to the side" Sasuke informed Yang while turning the page of his book
"This would be more easier, if you were sitting down normally!" Yang shouted as she nearly swerved and crashed her bike if Sasuke didn't jerk his weight to counterbalance Yang's mistake
They were riding on Yang's bike she got from Sasuke a few weeks ago. It was just recently that Yang approached Sasuke about the bike. When Sasuke asked what's wrong she responded with one thing he didn't realize
"I don't know how to ride a motorcycle" Yang said bashfully while looking away with a little tinge of red on her cheeks from embarrassment
This led to Sasuke face palming as he should've guessed that she never rode a motorcycle before nor would she know of anyone that would be willing to teach her
This led to Sasuke teaching Yang the proper way to ride a motorcycle, along with making hard turns which she was currently handling with great difficulty. But other than that she was doing great, just one crash and now she was riding with little problems. In two days she would be capable of driving without him pointing out her faults
"Yang your leaning to hard on the turn" Sasuke stated calmly while turning another page of his book
"You know most people would find what you do odd" Yang said in a bland tone
"And what would that be, Yang slow down you're going over the limit" Sasuke said before correcting her driving
"I mean, when you are sitting on the back of the motorcycle where you shouldn't even be sitting with your back turned to me while having one leg over your other knee and reading a book without any support to keep you from falling off!" Yang shouted in clear shock as everything she said was true. Sure she knew he would be okay but that didn't mean him sitting like that didn't make her nervous or worried for his safety
"Yang, keep your eyes on the road" Sasuke informed Yang while looking over his shoulders to look at her who huffed and looked straight ahead
"Ugh, I honestly don't know how to talk to you sometimes" Yang said shaking her head while slowing down at a red light before going when it turned green
"Yet you still talk to me" Sasuke pointed out
"Well, because you're my friend" Yang said with a shrug "What kind of person would I be if I abandon my friend if his interests differ from mine" Yang continued in a low voice
Sasuke flinched when he heard Yang say that and felt slightly ashamed of himself. He didn't really deserve a friend, he always pushed away potential friends, never letting them in to help in his past.
He doesn't want to cause her trouble with his problems and telling her what he done in the past, no, that is something he wishes he would never have to tell her. He just wants to keep what they have right now, no worries, no problems, just the two of them against the world and he's honestly okay with that idea
"Hey you want to get something to eat?" Yang asked after a moment
"Hn, alright" Sasuke responded as Yang slowed down at a curb "Where are we?" Sasuke asked as he hopped off the bike to look at the building Yang parked in front of
"I have no idea, but this looks nice" Yang said gesturing to the building as it was cafe/restaurant kind of business "The Auburn Vale, looks nice" Yang said reading the old worn out sign in front of the red brick building before noticing Sasuke was already a foot in the door "Hey wait up!" Yang said before rushing into the building behind Sasuke
Once inside it looked a quite a nice looking restaurant. Wooden accent walls, grey tile floors with the symbol of Vale on every fifth tile, nice looking booths with the seats covered in auburn red plush leather and the wooden table with a grey oval with a black outline that covers the center of said table. On the left where they came in was a lounge bar that took up the entire left side of the building. On the far side of the lounge was an old jukebox that was playing slow music that felt so relaxing to listen to. On the wall near the door that was right next to the lounge was a golden plaque that said
'The customer deserves only the finest of foods. Let thy order be fulfilled'
Below that was a little post-it note that said
'Should really change that damn plaque when I get the chance'
Behind the lounge was a man sitting down with a newspaper in hand. The man who had brown eyes was somewhere around his early fifties, his auburn hair in professional style haircut and a trimmed beard on his face. He wore a white collared shirt underneath a red vest, black suit pants, black dress shoes and a red tie wrapped around his neck.
The man lowered his paper when he noticed the two enter his establishment
"Well I'll be damned, I've actually got customers" The man said in a controlled shock
"Hey how's it going" Yang greeted cheerfully while Sasuke shook his head at his friend's forwardness
"Not bad, you are the first customers I had in a week" The man informed the two with a shrug
"Business that slow?" Yang asked because this place is really amazing to be in and how could people not like this place from just the smooth feel it had
"Slow, usually it's in a rush but now people don't quite care much for waiting for their foods, spending time with one another and enjoying themselves. Now it's just rushing about, eat and get out, never enjoy themselves. This generation is just crap" The man said scoffing a bit while Yang sweat dropped at his disdain of the current generation
"Agreed" Sasuke said surprisingly which he noticed her incredulous look "What? I have an opinion too and most people are just too destructive nowadays" Sasuke said before looking at Yang dryly as the blonde had the sense of shame to look away with a nervous chuckle as he was suggesting her outgoing attitude that would lead her into trouble "Anyways, I guess we just grab a table?" Sasuke asked as the man nodded
"The menu is on the holoprojector. Just open it up if you want to order something and I'll whip it up in the back. If you need anything else like a refill just call for me, the names Joe Affogato" Joe said (Get it, cause his name is like coffee and where he works is essentially. . .I'm just going to shut up)
Sasuke nodded before leading Yang to a table that had a window with two golden handles to allow them to open it up to let in fresh air. Sasuke sat on one side and Yang the other. Sasuke tapped the holoprojector that was on the end of the table next to the wall as it projected two screens in front of both of them.
"Wow, they have a great selection of food here" Yang said in awe while swiping through the pages as images of food goes by with each flick of a finger
"Hn" Sasuke responded with as he went through the exotic menu and was surprised to find some food choices he wasn't expecting to see. Most people would just eat simple things, never anything that takes time to make. He actually missed the food of his past life, sure most of the time he would eat rations but the time he could get a proper meal was very nice. Right now he's looking through old names of food he didn't think to see in a long time
Sasuke continued to swipe through before selecting Unagi Don as his meal (Essentially cooked eel on top of rice), Hiyayakko as his side (Cold tofu with some vegetables on top and soy sauce) and green tea as his drink. Sasuke looked over to see Yang finished picking her selection as they both pushed order on the screen as they waited for their meal
"I must say this place is really nice" Yang said trying to start up some small talk
"Hn"
"Don't just say 'hn'." Yang said with a huff
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
"Forget it, try to start a conversation and he won't even respond unless he feels like it" Yang said dryly to herself while Sasuke let out a silent huff
"Did you know Ruby decided to have a shooting practice by trying to shoot the stone gargoyles horns at the top of Signal Academy tower" Sasuke said while Yang just stared at him
". . . . She did what now?" Yang asked slowly for confirmation
"She apparently was dared by one of her friends to shoot the small horns off the gargoyles that were on the main tower of Signal. She got them all by the way" Sasuke said with a shrug
Yang stared at him for a moment before face palming as a grin appeared on her face "Ah Ruby, she really is my sister" Yang said in amusement before thinking about something "What did she get out of it?" Yang asked
"She got her friends to buy her a new scope for her scythe" Sasuke answered
"Well at least she got something out of, as well as having fun in taking pot shots at those old ass gargoyles" Yang said snickering a bit
"Honestly your definition of fun is just the basis of getting into trouble" Sasuke said with slight amusement while Yang had a slight pout at what he said
"Just because we like having fun doesn't really mean we are doing something wrong" Yang said denying what he was implementing
"Yang do I really need to write down a list of the things you done during the four years I've known you to change that statement, like what what you did last summer" Sasuke deadpanned as he crossed his arms
Yang let out a huff as she crossed her arms as well "All I'm saying is being stopped by a police officer from jumping off a building to do an awesome cannon ball is not life threatening at all" Yang said slamming her fist on the table
"Yang the building you were on was eight stories high and you were directly above the shallow end of the pool instead of the deep end" Sasuke deadpanned even harder
"I am not acknowledging that statement" Yang said with a hmph and jerked her head away from him while Sasuke let out a tired sigh
Joe came up to them pushing a cart carrying their food and drinks "Sorry for the wait, had to fish out the ingredient your friend here asked for" Joe said as he placed their orders in front of them
He placed Sasuke's Unagi Don, Hiyayakko next to each other with black plastic chopsticks laid down on a napkin next to it and his green tea currently being poured by Joe on the side.
Joe then placed Yang's food which consisted of a giant BLT sandwich, fries and soda. Much simpler compared to his lunch
"Call if you need anything or a refill" Joe said before leaving the two
Yang picked up her BLT and took a big bite of it "God this is amazing" Yang said with her mouth full of food
"Close your mouth when you're eating" Sasuke said taking the chopsticks and started eating his food before noticing Yang was staring at his food "What?" Sasuke said using his chopsticks to grab some rice and ate it
"What is that?" Yang asked curiously after swallowing her food
"Unagi Don or Unadon as it's in a bowl" Sasuke answered simply as he took piece of the eel and ate it
"And that is?" Yang asked curiously
"A type of fillet fish on top of white rice" Sasuke answered vaguely
"Doesn't look any fish I seen cooked like that" Yang pointed out as Sasuke rolled his eyes before picking up another piece of the eel
"Because it's eel" Sasuke stated while Yang just stared at him. Yang kept on staring at him which he noticed and raised a brow "What?" Sasuke said before taking a sip of his tea
"I could make so many dick innuendos right now that it's not funny" Yang deadpanned seriously while Sasuke choked on his drink and began to cough violently to get the liquid out of the wrong pipe it went into
After a coughing for a bit Sasuke finally calmed down before glaring at Yang "Dammit Yang, must you ruin the moment here" Sasuke said rubbing his throat to ease the irritation he was feeling
"Wait we're having a moment?!" Yang asked completely confused
"We're talking more than usual aren't we" Sasuke pointed out as Yang blinked and realized he was right
"Huh, what do you know" Yang said in an amused tone before going back to her food as Sasuke shook his head slightly with mirth
They continued to eat in peace, talking to one another about a matter relating to either family or school
Once they were finished Sasuke placed his chopsticks on top of the bowl and finished the last of his tea. Yang wiped her mouth with a napkin and gulped the last of her soda down
Yang let out an satisfied breath of air before tapping the console on the side to open up the menu again
"You're ordering something again?" Sasuke asked curiously
"Just dessert" Yang said looking through the dessert menu before picking something "Do want anything?" Yang asked politely as he usually declined to sweets but was happily shocked to see him shrug
"I don't mind, just don't make something incredibly sugary" Sasuke stated and Yang nodded and picked their dessert with a drink that seemed to fit it
After a moment of silence to just take in the serenity as they watched the people outside the window pass by Joe came up with their dessert and drinks
Two slices of vanilla cake and two cups of macchiato
"Enjoy" Joe said before walking away Yang took the fork that came with it and started eating as she let out a moan of bliss from the taste
Sasuke on the other hand was staring at his macchiato for the foam milk took a shape of a heart with two ferns on the side and an arrow that was seemingly pointing towards Yang. He noticed Yang also had one with the same design but didn't take notice as she took a gentle sip from it as the image was now gone
Sasuke just shook his head and took a sip of macchiato as well to find that it was pretty good. Sasuke started eating the slice of cake as well and found that it went well with the macchiato
The two enjoyed their dessert in peace until Sasuke drank the last of his macchiato and had a large piece of the cake left and didn't want to finish. Yang had finished her cake and noticed Sasuke wasn't eating the rest of his
Sasuke saw this and shrugged before pushing his plate towards Yang who graciously accept it. Sasuke figured he might as well call Joe over to pay for the meal while Yang finished the rest of the cake. Sasuke signaled Joe from the lounge who got up and walked over to them. Joe placed the bill down on the table with two green mints, Sasuke popped one in his mouth while handing his debit card to Joe. Joe took the card and swiped it across his Scroll as the transaction was accepted. Joe gave Sasuke his debit card back before he took the two empty plates and cups away.
"Man this was good" Yang said with a smile and leaned back in her seat in content
"I must admit this was enjoyable" Sasuke said with a slight smile
"It was. . . . . We should do this more" Yang said with a smile
"Hn, maybe" Sasuke said before getting up from his seat "Come on, I'm sure your family is wondering where you are" Sasuke said leaving a tip as Yang got up from her seat as well before following Sasuke. Yang waved to Joe who waved backed leisurely as they walked out of the cafe/restaurant
Sasuke sat on the back of Yang's motorcycle while Yang got onto the driver's seat as they drove off
~Few days later~
"Come on, you'll like this place. They have everything you could ever want to order" Yang said to her sister who was holding onto her waist for dear
"Sure but couldn't we walk there instead!" Ruby exclaimed before tightening her grip when Yang turned around the corner
"This is faster" Yang said as they were approaching their destination
"Yes but walking is safer" Ruby argued as they finally slowed down to a stop
Ruby immediately jumped off the motorcycle of doom, in her opinion, and back onto solid ground. Yang just chuckled at her sister's actions as she took off her helmet to face the Auburn Vale
"What the" Yang uttered at what she saw. The Auburn Vale was closed with an out of business sign hanged up on the door "Are you kidding me, it closed down!" Yang exclaimed before walking to a window and peering inside. She saw that everything was gone, the tables, seats, even the lounge was gone
"I'm sorry, you must've like the place" Ruby said placing her hand on Yang's back
"I did, it was a really nice place" Yang said before letting out a tired sigh
"Well at least you were able to enjoy it before it closed" Ruby said trying to make light of the situation
"I guess but still I really liked this place, even Sasuke liked this place even if he didn't say anything about it" Yang said with a small frown
"Yeah but at least you have the memories right, so you'll always remember the good times you had, even if it was for one day" Ruby said optimistically while Yang stared at her for a moment before shaking her head as shed walked back to her motorcycle
"I guess you're right" Yang said while putting her helmet back on "Come on, lets go find someplace else to eat at" Yang said getting back on the bike
"Can't we just walk" Ruby asked meekly before letting out a squeak when Yang pulled her onto her bike
"Nope" Yang said with a smile and revved the engine before riding off with Ruby wanting off
Yang smiled sadly but figured she would take what her little sister said to heart. The memories of spending time there with Sasuke and having a good time will stay with her and hey, maybe the restaurant will start up again one day. When that happens maybe she'll share another slice of vanilla cake with Sasuke again
Well I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter I made for you all
I'll be trying to work on my Rabbit's Greed story next because I honestly feel like it needs to continue. So until then
Please leave a comment, review, PM and I'll see you all later. Have a great day
