Police Code 207: Kidnapping
Disclaimer I DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT OWN RWBY,
ROOSTER TEETH AND MONTY OUM DO
In Signal Academy, where young would be hunters and huntresses go to learn how to hone their skills, train, battle, spar with one another , and the most boring of them all... attend lectures .though not all fall asleep from the boredom, some do, however one particular student is sleeping for a far different reason , a young teenage boy sitting at the second to the last row of desks , the last to the right , the one with the messiest black hair hair, deepest eye bags, and the face that screams " I'm only here physically" all over his tired face. In his mind 'So...sleepy...so very...sleepy...why am I sleepy again?...Oh right new case...sleepy...why can't I...sleep again?...something...about...boring stuff...oh right...class...MAN! I'm beat...maybe If...I just close my eyes for a...a few... few...minutes... SO SLEEPY!...' and so his mental monologue continued, for the third time, a perfect position for him to continue his slacker behavior until...
" You're twenty minutes late Miss Xiao Long" the 50-something year old professor said, hearing that name however woke him from his almost nap.
' Don't tell me...she's...'
"Sorry I'm late professor, I had a...personal...thing I had to do." And there she was, the cause of his sleep deprivation, his newest employer, Yang Xiao Long.
'Great...just great...I should have known ,stupid!, stupid!, stupid! ,stupid! Okay calm down just don't do anything to make her notice you, just do what you do best and...SHIT! SHE'S WALKING THIS WAY!, WHY IS SHE WALKNIG THIS WAY?!' he's nervous gaze went to his right and saw an empty desk, the only one available ' Wow...how did I not see that coming...'
He held his breath, hoping that would be enough to elude her attention, it wasn't ,she waved a him, out of impulse or common courtesy he waved back.
'Way to go, let's just throw professionalism out the window shall we' he thought solemnly as class continued , he hoped the lecture would stop her from interacting with him. As long as anyone has known him he's always been this way. An outsider, uncaring , lethargic, and most all reclusive to the point of a borderline mental disorder. Like most asocial Pariahs, he wants to keep it that way. He just hopes no one noticed 'When have they ever noticed me anyway' One again faith was against him.
The door opened once more, their professor stopped his lesson, whoever that person was at the door , must be important enough for the professor to stop teaching and gave the class a silent study time instead right before he left.
'How suspicious...must investigate on the professor further...could be a big conspiracy' was his thoughts, then everyone started talking, ignoring their instructions.
"Figures...Teenagers" he mumbled not acting his age
" So are ya gonna ignore me all day or you gonna say 'Hello Yang' or something" was the what the ever so unsubtle Yang's words.
Knowing where this was leading,he went with it, not fully anticipating how the rest of the class would soon react.
"...Hi...Xiao Long"
"Wow, what a cold greeting. Is that any way to talk to me" Yang, who didn't get the reaction she wanted changed the subject
"If we're in the same class, why haven't noticed you till now"
He was silent for a while, deep in thought for an answer, he found one
"Maybe because only main characters get color in this anime" he said with a shrug, like it was nothing
"What?" Yang asked even more confused.
"Nothing just nothing"
"Anyway how's it going with the case, you solved it already or what?" the honest question got Yang on the wrong side of a glare
"Honestly...you shouldn't discuss some matters of that nature in such a public place"
"How come?"
He tilted his head to the side, Yang knowing what that meant,turned around, and there they were, all their classmates trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Having been caught, they all turned back to minding their own business. Yang turned back to ask to see him with grin on his face that said that said "Told ya. I just didn't want to say I was right."
-SOMETIME LATER-
"Come on please?" Yang pleaded for the fifth or sixth time.
"No." he robotically answered once again.
"Oh come on!" she practically yelled, earning her a look from everyone and the professor
Fearing this could make another, he gave her another deal.
"Fine. But only if you manage to get the teacher to excuse us. Then we'll go."
"Is that a deal"
"Yes...it's a deal"
Yang grinned before standing up and walking over to the teacher. She said something that made him come out of the room with her in tow. He came back inside alone with a smug look directed at Ask. He motioned for him to come up front.
"That's your girlfriend out there isn't it?" that question thoroughly confused him.
"Excuse me? I think you mixed me up with the wrong person." he said while waving both hands in front of him
"Oh don't worry. I understand your situation." the old professor said knowingly, sounding like he knew more than he let on.
"Situation?" Ask inquired, with a raised eyebrow
"Yes. Very much so. Now carry along, the two of you are excused for the whole day." as he said this the professor took up his place by the blackboard facing away from Ask.
"Uhh..thank you sir." he was half way out the door, but not before...
"Oh and if you can, try to raise it with her." his professor said those words and everyone in the room laughed.
"Beg your pardon?" 'Raise what' was the thought that perplexed the detective
"Just go." was the professor's farewell.
Ask exited the room with his brows furrowed. Yang was leaning on the wall, arms crossed and looking expectantly at him.
"Are we going or what?"
"How'd you get the professor to excuse us for the day?" was just one of the things he wanted to know.
Yang shrugged and said
"I told him I was getting an abortion and you were the father."
"Ah."
"..."
Abortion.
"..."
Father.
"..."
Buffering...Buffering...Buffering...Buffering...Buffering...Buffering...BEEP!
"NO PROFESSOR WAIT YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG! I DIDN-mmnnmfgmhmmmmgmhhhhhf" he was cut short by Yang's hand on covering his mouth, she then proceeded to put him on a choke hold as she dragged him along to were ever she intended to go
In Ask's mind:'I really underestimated this woman...' he grumbled in his mind
In the end Ask never did got to explain himself to their professor ( poor guy)
After that...whatever you can call that situation died down, Yang and Ask were currently walking away from Signal Academy, one of them walking cheerfully,the other...well not so much
"Oh cheer up at least I got us out of there" Yang said right next to him trying to turn his frown upside down
"...But at what cost?...Tell me...at what cost?" was Ask's grave and shaky reply.
"Oooooookay...So are you gonna tell me how you did it now..."
Ask's facial expression changed drastically, back to his normal self.'Well...self'
"I'll start with you're sister if you don't mind."
"Huh?"
"A deal's a deal is it not"
"Oh right, go ahead"
"What do you wanna know? And be specific of which one."
"Um...Oh how'd you know she was worried about curfew?"
" Easy her eyes kept drifting to the clock on the wall in the lobby allot , and obviously being a teen you still have curfews"
"Cool-I-I mean how'd you know we were huntress in training?"
" Now that was easy , when you both got startled by me-
"We weren't scared!"
"I didn't say scared, I said startled...anyway...as you both got startled, you two instinctively went on a fighting stance, both unique and very well mastered."
"Thanks" Yang thanked as he complimented her stance.
"How'd you know about her cookie-philia and the whole strawberries thing"
"You're welcome...and it doesn't take a genius to notice her drooling over the cafe's menu of assorted cookie based snacks and especially a cafe that use strawberries as their ingredients for their desserts, I merely put two and two together.
"Ah...what about her being a lefty?"
"The lack of callous on her right hand suggested her dominant hand was her left, plus how her weapon was holstered to be able to be used with her left hand "
"Oh yeah, that reminds me, how'd you know she uses a scythe and how it could turn into a gun"
"That one was tricky, the stance she used wasn't the king a shooter would use ,but as I noticed gun clips and extra ammunition on her person I was only logical it was also a firearm...but how her arms were placed were the signs of a melee weapon you could spin, so the thought of a sniper-boo staff hybrid came to mind until..." he suddenly stopped an insane grin on his face , he chuckled lightly, almost as if pleased with himself. Yang stopped to checking him over, hoping he wasn't a nut-job.
"Until what?"
"Her choice of clothing..." Ask said not looking up.
"Why her fashion sense?"
"Think about it...what would an actual application of wearing red clothing be for a huntress?"
"You got, me what?"
"To hide the blood stains" Ask finally said, his head finally up.
"...Oh...that's...um...kinda...dark."
"Spilling blood implies a bladed weapon." Ask started once again sounding less twisted.
"Then it occurred, a weapon you could spin, was also bladed, and requires a lefty to use her right hand more. A scythe, no not just any scythe but a sniper riffle scythe hybrid, the designing alone makes me theorize that she was a weapon dork, seriously that's just going over-board"
"Man you are good" Yang exclaimed
"That's accurate, thank you"
"Ah...You're welcome"
" So what about the social awk-"Yang was interrupted by Ask saying
"You're friend's not dead by the way"
"Really! That's great isn't it, how'd you know?" That question seemed to have an unpleasant reaction to Ask.
"As you and Ruby left, I started calling morgues and hospitals to check if there was anyone that they just received that fit the description of our missing person, thankfully we know know she's not dead or in an accident that could lead to her having to admitted to a hospital."
"That's pretty smart."
"That's the first step in a missing person's case"
"Then's what's the next one?"
"Here" Ask said as he stopped and turned to a store.
Yang stopped,she followed Ask's line of sight. It was a drugstore, somehow through he's whole crime-solving mojo, he was still able to lead her to a drugstore.
" A drugstore? Why a drugstore?"
"Payment, so I need a few things" Ask said while entering the store, he turned back to Yang.
"You can stay here if you'd like" he said while holding the door open
"Nah we made a deal remember, I'm commin' along " as Yang said this,she entered through the door Ask was currently holding open, giving everyone in the store an illusion of him holding it open for her, like a real gentleman would threat his lady. Ask could swear he heard a clerk saying "What a considerate boyfriend" and a female shopper saying " Lucky girl"
Ask ignored all these a chalked it up to people's ignorance it's finest
Yang just seemed to ignore it.
'Or enjoying it' Ask guessed in his head
"Okay what do we get"
Instead of saying it out loud, Ask whispered it to her instead.
"Boy you sure move fast, Guys usually have to go on five to six dates with me before they ask me to buy those"
Ask groaned, he expected this, but still it was less painful in one's mind than in real life.
"I'll get the condoms, you'll get the pregnancy tests" Yang said walking away
to the aisle
Ask obliged with her instructions, as he was about to walk away
"Wanna get some abortion pills while we're at it!" Yang yelled across the store, loud enough for everyone to hear, Ask received glares from a few women in the store.
'What wrong with her, is she trying to make me to lose focus'
To be continued...

Short Preview For The Next Chapter:
"What can you tell me about this girl?" Ask said showing the picture to the much older information broker
"Well I can say this"
"What?"
"She's not your type"
"BE SERIOUS !"
Yang bursts in through the door
"I heard screaming, what happened"
"Now she's you're type...and also mine"
