Chapter Three: Astray
The air was calm and cool. The sun was big and bright as it shined over everyone's head.
It was another day, walking hand and hand with her father down the long, gray sidewalk.
Holding the older gentleman's hand, a little girl of five years old wore her great smile as she looked all around. She speculated all the different sceneries: the buildings, the green nature by it's side, and most importantly, the animals.
Walking towards a curve, the little girl grew excited for what was to come. Quickly letting go of her father's hand, she ran up to a store window. Her smile grew wider and wider when she faced the small critters within the glass window: kittens and puppies.
Jumping up and down as she saw the helpless animals trudge over one another, the girl looked toward her father. But her smile soon vanished when she saw his apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, honey," he would always say. "But you know we can't."
The girl slowly removed her hands from the glass window. Grabbing his hand once more, the two continued their walk, gradually distancing themselves away from the pet store.

"Damn it, where is it!?" shouted a frustrated woman. "Tch!"
She quickly began digging into the stacks of paper scattered all over her desk. Finally growing impatient, she pushed the papers to the side where she found a little, brown box. She pressed down the white button on top of it.
"Pyrrha Nikos, report to my office immediately!" the voice boomed throughout an intercom. "I repeat, Pyrrha Nikos report to my office immediately!"
Standing in a circle formation with other friends was a perplexed looking, redheaded woman.
"Guess that's me…" the girl known as Pyrrha nervously smiled.
Walking down a narrow hallway as she held her cup of coffee, the redhead felt anxious to go into the oak door at the end. One reason being was because her boss was known to be extremely terrifying. Secondly, the gargoyle statues and obscure paintings at the end of the hall were a bit frightening.
Turning the knob, she slowly entered the room and stood in front of a desk with two massive stacks of paper on each side. She kept her uneasy gaze at the back of a chair.
"You called, miss…?" the redhead hesitantly asked .
"Yes, I called," the voice behind the chair irritably spoke. "I wanted to know where exactly is number 303302's manuscript?"
'Number 303302….? Oh!'
"You must be talking about Blake Belladonna, miss…" Pyrrha inquired. "I meant to talk to you about her situation. You see, she called earlier and asked for an extension, so-"
"Miss Nikos, what exactly is the motto here?" the voice interrupted.
"But miss, she politely asked under her circumstanc-"
"I said," she interrupted once more, "What, is the motto here?"
The redhead sighed quietly. "On time is key."
"Correct. Now, where is this Belladonna's manuscript?"
"I'm trying to tell you miss, she called earlier and asked for an extension due to complications," the redhead answered.
"Yes, normally that would be acceptable. But how many times has this Belladonna asked for an extension?"
"I believe this is her second call," Pyrrha replied.
"Yes it is, and I do believe that the regulations say that one can not simply have two extensions for the same manuscript," the voice informed in a strict tone.
"Yes, but miss she's facing a situation right no-"
Turning around rapidly in her chair was a white haired woman with an angry, blue eyed glare. Pyrrha gulped.
"Get me on the phone with her immediately," the woman growled.
"Yes, of course…" the redhead bowed, "Ms. Schnee…"

Pushing against a hard wall with all of her might, a small blonde kitten clenched her teeth.
"Damn it!" she cursed. "I can't even… move it!"
"Mmm…." mumbled a certain raven haired girl.
"Damn it!" the kitten pushed once more. "GET UP BLAKE! The blizzard's finally over so there's no reason to sleep all day!" she yelled as her hair puffed out.
"In a minute…." the girl murmured in her sleep.
"You already had twelve hours! Now it's time to get up and finish your stupid story!" Yang shouted as she kept pushing her paws against the raven haired girl's back. "It's already noon!"
"Yang… maybe we should let her sleep some more…" spoke a nervous redheaded kitten.
"No Ruby!" the blonde responded. "She needs to get up and-!? she…. needs…" The kitten stood dazed and confused as she looked at the wall in front of her beginning to move down.
"Yang!" Ruby shrieked as she tried to reach her older sister. But It was too late.
"Mmmm…" Blake mumbled in her sleep.
"MMMMM!" yelled a voice from below Blake. Ruby panicked.
Quickly crawling toward the writer's sleeping face, she climbed and latched onto the raven haired girl's black shirt and wiggled her way up.
Leaping across the girl's torso, the kitten finally made it to Blake's face.
Heaving, she placed her small, paw like hands on Blake's cheek.
"Blake, wake up! Yang's in trouble!" Ruby cried as she pushed Blake's cheek up.
"Hmm…?" Blake groaned as she slightly opened her eyes. Looking around with her cloudy vision, she quickly sat up at the sight of the crying kitten.
"Ruby, what's wrong?" the writer asked as she held the whimpering kitten in her palm. Looking at the expression the redhead was making, Blake began to pet the kitten behind her ear with her other hand. She slightly blushed when she heard purring.
"You…" huffed a voice from behind Blake.
"Hm?" the writer wondered.
"You…" the voice repeated.
"Yang, is that you…?" Blake asked as she turned around.
"You almost killed me!" the blonde angrily informed.
"Oh…" Blake responded. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry? You're sorry? Sorry isn't going to bring back the life I just lost!" Yang screamed.
Mumbling incoherent things under her voice, the blonde scurried her way to another direction on all fours. As she ran next to the writer, she stopped after seeing a familiar kitten curled up in Blake's palm.
"Ruby! What are you doing to my sister, you human!?" the blonde threatened.
"Hm?" Blake thought. "I'm just petting her… you see?" she said as she moved her index finger behind the redhead's ear in a circular motion. Ruby purred louder as the muscles in her body drooped over Blake's palm.
'Looks like a pizza….' Blake thought.
"Yanggg…. thiss… fweelss… anyyaazing…." Ruby continued purring.
"R-Ruby! We don't know what this human can do!" the blonde warned as subtle blush appeared on her cheeks. "We need to make sure that this human is completely sa- ah~..." the blonde purred as Blake's finger began rubbing behind her ear.
Minutes passed with both sisters lying on the writer's lap as she kept on petting them.
'Cute...' Blake thought as both kittens purred right under her finger.
Feeling as if she was about to melt, Yang quickly opened her eyes.
"Stop!" she said as she smacked Blake's finger away.
"What's wrong?" the raven haired girl asked.
"What's wrong is that you've been sleeping for almost the whole day for this past week we've been here! The phone keeps ringing nonstop, you're doing nothing but sleeping, how do you even survive!?" Yang questioned. "Besides, don't you have that book thingy deadline coming soon!?"
"My book deadline…?" the writer thought. "How do you know about that?"
The blonde blushed as her hair puffed out. "Don't worry on how I know!" she shouted as she turned around. 'Just happened to see the deadline while I was cleaning up...'
'The deadline…. when is it…?' Blake thought. Just as she was about to reevaluate her schedule, a certain ring filled the air.
Both kittens covered their ears. "There it goes again Yang…." Ruby whined.
"Go answer it, human!" Yang shouted.
Getting up after setting the redheaded kitten to the side, Blake walked to another part of the room.
Walking into what seemed like a small closet, the raven haired girl picked up the phone.
"Blake? Is that you? Are you okay? Is everything alright!?" the caller asked in a deranged manner.
"Yes, it's me," Blake responded.
"Oh thank god, I thought something bad had happened-"
"Who is this?"
"Come on! At least look at the caller ID!" the voice complained. A sigh was heard on the other side. "Give me the phone- no, I'm going to talk to Bl- Give me the phone!" Shuffles and grunts were heard until another person spoke.
"Sup Blake, sorry about that lunatic-"
"Who is this?"
"Ouch… now I can see why that hurt…" the voice nervously laughed.
They sighed, "It's Sun, Blake," the male revealed. "And that crazy person you just spoke to was Adam."
"Oh," the raven haired girl realized. "Hello Sun and hello Adam," the girl simply said.
"Blake~" whined another voice in the background. "Stop crying and go get Velvet!" Sun instructed.
"You're cruel…" the other voice whimpered.
"Anyways…" Sun spoke. "How are you doing? We've all been worried about you ever since you moved out. You eating good?"
The raven haired girl smiled faintly. "Yes, I've been fine on my own. And I've been eating," she chuckled lowly.
"That's good," Sun sighed in relief. "Well, are you at least happy? I mean, it must be pretty lonely living on your own and stuff."
'Hm?'
"I mean if it were me, I'd immediately come back to the apartment and-"
"I'm not living alone," Blake commented. The call on both ends stood silent.
"Sun, I got Velvet now give me the phone!-"
"No way Blake! Who're you living with!?" Sun excitedly asked. "You scored, didn't you!?"
"Wha- NOOOOO!" the other male cried.
"Damn it Adam, shut it!" Sun yelled.
"My Blake… my Blake is gone…." whimpered the male voice.
"She's been gone for a while, you idiot…" Sun sighed. "Oh, hold on Blake, I'll pass you the phone to Velvet."
"What about me…" Adam cried.
"I don't want her to freak out even more and have her hang up…" Sun admitted.
"Wha-!? She would never be scared of me-"
"Alright, shut up. Velvet wants to speak but you won't let her," Sun said.
"Okay… but still… Blake wouldn't be scared of daddy-"
"H-hello? Blake…?" a timid voice spoke. "It's me… Velvet."
"Hello Velvet," Blake smiled.
"Um, well, I- I mean we! We were just wondering if you were okay…" the shy voice spoke. "You haven't been answering any of our calls so we were worried."
"I'm okay, I've just been sleeping," Blake said.
"Heh… yeah, we figured…."
"Especially when that's all she pretty much did," Sun laughed in the background.
"Don't badmouth Blake, Sun!" Adam shouted.
"Shut it…" Sun said.
"How about you guys?" Blake asked. "How have you guys been?"
"We've been okay," Velvet smiled. She looked behind her and grinned nervously as she saw Sun flexing in the mirror and Adam crying in the corner as he chewed on a piece of cloth that had the words "BLAKE" on it. "Although… it's a little lonely just being the only girl here… and the only sane one..."
"Well that's good," Blake smiled.
'Did she not hear me...?' Velvet cried.
"So, do you think we could visit you again any time soon?" the timid girl asked.
'Visit soon…?' Blake thought.
"Sure, I don't mind," Blake smiled.
"Great!" Velvet ecstatically said. "When do you think is a great time to go?"
"Hmm…? When…?" the raven haired girl wondered.
"Tch, what's taking that human so long on the phone…" Yang muttered under her breathe.
"Hm?" Ruby hummed as she cocked her head to the side. Looking at the irritated blonde kitten sitting on the floor, Ruby narrowed her eyes as she began to ponder.
"Hey Yang?" she asked.
The blonde snapped out of her thoughts and smiled as she looked back to her little sister.
"Yeah sis?" Yang grinned.
"Do you like Blake?" she bluntly said.
Doing what looked like a spit take gesture, the blonde kitten blushed immensely. As her hair frizzed, she quickly stood up.
"W-why would you think I like that human!?" Yang shouted as the blush grew heavier.
"Well, you're always fighting with Blake… and I was thinking that if you didn't like her…" Ruby quietly said as her ears drooped down.
Yang saw her sister's whimpering state; she smiled as her brows furrowed. "Ruby, nothing bad's going to happen. I promise," the kitten smiled. "We're going to be okay."
Ruby looked up to see the older kitten's grin; slowly, she followed suit.
"Okay Yang," Ruby smiled, showing a small, little fang from the corner of her mouth, "I belie-"
DING DONG.
Both sisters quickly covered their ears.
"Nnn... Yang..." Ruby groaned.
"Yeah... I know... That was pretty loud..." Yang groaned. She quickly shook her head.
"You think Blake heard it?" Ruby asked as she started to massage her ears.
"I think the whole neighborhood heard it..." Yang said. She quickly turned to look at the direction the writer left to. 'But knowing that airhead...'
DING DONG. DING DONG.
"Ahh... Yang..." Ruby whined as she clasped her hands over her ears.
'Damn that human...' Yang mentally cursed. Clenching her jaw, she quickly ran toward the raven haired girl. "Ruby! Just keep your ears covered!"
"Mmmm..." the redhead groaned.
The doorbell kept on ringing over and over again.
XXX
"The audacity to make me come out here in this cold, freezing weather!" irritably said a white haired girl. "She better have a good reason for not picking up the phone after I called so many times."
Tapping her foot rapidly, she clenched her jaw. 'Why doesn't she open the door!' She thought angrily as she continued to press the doorbell.
XXX
Ruby kept her ears covered as the doorbell continued to ring. Looking at the door knob and the furniture next to it, the kitten felt a light bulb go off in her head.
'Hmmm...' She thought as she looked at the small cabinet next to the door.
...
"Hey! Human!" Yang called as she saw the raven haired girl talking on the phone.
"Hm?" Blake responded. "Hold on Velvet."
"O-okay..." the timid girl responded.
Blake placed the phone to her chest. "What's up Yang?"
"What's up is that you need to get either your ears or your head checked. Seriously, how can you not hear that deafening ring?" Yang asked.
"Oh, the doorbell..." Blake concluded.
"Yes the doorbell," Yang said, "now can you please just go answer it before Ruby and I go deaf!"
"Hm?" Blake questioned as she saw the angry look on Yang's face. "Okay."
'Did she really have to think about it...' Yang's eyebrow twitched.
"Hey Velvet," Blake said as she raised the phone to her ear.
"Y-yes?" the girl replied.
"I'll have to call you back later," Blake said in a simple manner. "Someone's at the door."
"Ah, okay, well... We'll call you back later then," Velvet said.
"Wait! No! I still haven't talked to Blake yet!" a voice in the background cried. "At least let me- the caller you are trying to reach has disconnected."
"Hm?" Blake thought as she heard a flat tone on her side.
"Blake! The doorbell!" Yang said as she covered her ears.
Heaving on top of the drawer, the redheaded kitten couldn't believe that she had made it despite her injury. Shaking her head, she continued on with her mission: jumping onto the door knob.
Picking her bottom up as she stuck out her tongue, the mighty kitty leaped into the air and latched onto her destination.
'I did it! I did-wai-!?' Ruby frantically thought. 'No, no!' she mentally yelled as she began to slip.
As the knob turned, Ruby completely lost her grip and began falling toward the ground.
'No, no, no, no! Yang!' she thought as tears formed in the corner of her eyes.
But when she realized that she wasn't lying on the ground, the redhead opened her eyes to see that she was still in mid-air.
"You should really be careful," said a gentle voice.
'Huh?' Ruby thought. Looking behind her, the kitten realized that she had been saved yet again by Blake.
"Are you okay?" Blake faintly smiled.
Ruby nodded in response, still looking admirably toward her savior.
"Okay, I think that's enough," Yang blushed slightly as her hair frizzed. "There's someone at the door."
"Oh yeah," Blake said as she looked at the slightly opened door.
XXX
'The door... It opened...' thought a certain white haired girl.
XXX
Grabbing the knob, Blake proceeded to open the door half way.
Standing outside with an irritated stare was a woman who seemed to be about the same age as the writer.
"Yes? Can I help you?" the raven haired girl asked.
"Can you help me?" the girl outside said in an angry tone. "Oh, yes, please enlighten me on how you can help me with my situation. The situation in which consists of not answering calls, failure to turn in your manuscript on time, and having to stand out here in the freezing, cold weather! Do you know who I am?"
Looking at the clueless expression the writer was making, Weiss's eyebrow twitched with anger. "I happen to be your boss, Weiss Schnee!"
"Oh... Well... I'm sorry," Blake nonchalantly said.
"Wha-!?" the woman outside responded. 'Why do I feel like she's an... Airhead...'
"Listen, you and I have a lot to discuss about if you want to keep writing and publishing at my company," the white haired girl advised.
'Oh, the deadline...' Blake finally realized. "Right, come in," the writer said as she fully opened the door.
"It's about time you let me in-" the girl suddenly stopped after seeing a certain critter sitting on Blake's palm.
Looking up as her ear twitched, Ruby stared at the woman with her big, grey eyes.
"Ahhh- ah…." Weiss stuttered as smudges of blush appeared below her eyes.
"Hm?" Ruby muttered as she tilted her head.
"Wha- what is that….?" Weiss asked as she inspected the redheaded kitten.
Looking around the small being, she saw Ruby's tail flicking from side to side as her ears twitched once more.
"Who are you calling a that?!" yelled another voice from below.
'Huh?' Weiss thought.
Looking down, blue eyes met with lilac ones. 'Another… one…?'
"For your information, we are not "that's" but we are Nekoyans!" Yang snarled. "Higher beings than you! Got that!?"
Weiss made a face of disgust. "Excuse me?"
"Ah!" Ruby panicked as she waved her small hands back and forth. As she tried to get up, she winced and grabbed her ankle.
"Ruby!-"
"You should stay down and relax," Blake calmly said. Ruby looked up to see the writer's small smile. The kitten slowly nodded her head.
Turning around to face forward once more, Ruby quickly caught sight of the white haired girl's expression. 'Hm...?'
"Yes well, can we proceed with this negotiation," Weiss demanded through a cold stare.
The redhead shivered.
"Right, sorry about that," Blake said as she started to move back to the living room. "Just please make sure to take off your shoes before coming in…"
'Take off my shoes…?' Weiss thought with confusion. As she slipped off her heels, Weiss followed the raven haired girl into a room that had a coffee table in the middle surrounded by untidy blankets. 'This looks….'
"Sorry for the mess, I barely just woke up," Blake informed.
'Barely… woke up?! It's one in the afternoon!' Weiss thought. "I… see…."
Watching as the writer picked up the blankets and folded them, Blake gestured over to the pillows on the floor.
"Right…." Weiss said, feeling unsure as she sat down in front of the coffee table. She watched as the writer went off to another part of the apartment. "Well, as I said, I came here to-"
"Would you like some cookies?" Blake interrupted.
"Wha-? No, I came here to just-"
"You should really try some of Blake's cookies!" said a jolly voice from below. Weiss looked down to be staring into wide, grey eyes. "They're really good!"
Feeling the kitten's tail lightly hit against her hand, Weiss slowly picked up her other hand.
"Ruby!" shouted a voice from behind. Weiss stopped moving her hand.
The white haired girl looked back to see an angry blonde. "You don't know what this human can do!"
"What do you mean, do-"
"Get away from my sister…" Yang growled.
"It's not like I'm going to-"
"I DON'T CAR-" Yang stopped as soon as she felt a small thump on her head.
"How come you're so grouchy?" Blake quietly said as she picked up the blonde kitten.
"Hey, let me- goooo~..." the kitten groaned as she relaxed in the writer's hand.
"Sorry about this one," Blake told Weiss. "She's a bit paranoid."
"I'm nyat paranyoid…." Yang mumbled as she purred.
Ruby looked at the expression the white haired girl was making. She cocked her head in confusion once again.
Staring blankly at Ruby's injured ankle wrapped up in cloth, Weiss quietly got up. Walking toward the door, the girl continued to go outside barefoot.
The trio within the apartment stood silent and confused.
Going down the staircase as she felt the melting snow under her feet, the white haired girl looked at the bushes near the apartment. Quickly setting her eyes on a certain plant, the girl plucked two tiny, green leaves and went back into the apartment.
"Ms. Schnee, is something wrong-"
"A musher," the girl interrupted.
"Huh?" Blake questioned.
"Do you have one?" Weiss sternly asked.
Looking at the leaves between her hands, the raven haired girl complied and went towards the kitchen.
"What are you-"
"Just be quiet and watch..." Weiss said to the blonde kitten.
Coming back to the living room with a small musher as well as a plate, Weiss began to smash a leaf into small bits, making it look like jelly.
"Is that food?" Ruby asked as she observed the jelly like substance being put on another leaf.
"No, you idiot..." Weiss slightly smiled. Gently touching the kitten's ankle, Ruby winced.
"Hey-"
"Relax..." Weiss quietly said.
Hearing the white haired girl's words, Ruby let the girl unravel the piece of cloth on her injury.
Slowly placing the leaf around the ankle, the girl began to wrap it together.
"You shouldn't do anything extreme with that ankle..." Weiss whispered.
"It... Feels a bit better..." Ruby admitted as she touched the leaf around the injury. Looking up at Weiss, the small kitten smiled widely. "Thank you so much!"
Looking at the grin the small being was giving her, the smile on the woman's face began to disappear.
"That's amazing, Ms. Schnee," Blake commented. "But how did you know the right treatment was out-"
"This town is surrounded with different remedies," Weiss interrupted.
"Yes well, thank you for treating Ruby's injury," the girl smiled. Looking toward the blonde kitten, the writer tapped Yang's shoulder.
"Yang, isn't there something you want to say?"
Crossing her arms in a pout, the kitten puffed out her hair. "Thank you..." she grumbled. Chuckling, the raven haired girl massaged the kitten's ear, making her purr as a result.
"No fair! Me next!" Ruby whined as she ran to the edge of the coffee table.
Staring at the noisy trio in front of her, Weiss felt the smile on her face completely vanish.
"Yes well," Weiss said as she stood up, her expression hidden behind her bangs. "I believe I should be heading out now."
"Wait, is-"
"I see that you're spending your time tending to these small animals," she said as she began walking away.
"Hey, who are you calling anim-"
"With that being said, you are unable to write and do your job seeing how your hands are full."
Slipping on her heels, she began moving forward to the door. With her back turned to the writer and the kittens, she stood under the doorway.
"Blake Belladonna, you are fired from my company."
As the door closed behind her, the living room stood still.
"Blake's….. fired?" Ruby quietly said as she continued staring at the door. Slowly turning her gaze, she looked at the writer.
However, there was no expression present on Blake. It looked the same as every other day.
"Blake…" Ruby whispered. "Did we…. get you fired…?"
Seeming as if she was about to cry, Blake lightly smiled and picked up the kitten.
"No Ruby," Blake kept on smiling as she ruffled the top of her head. "You guys didn't get me fired. It was my fault."
But the redhead was still crying; the look on Blake's face was still the same.
"Now please stop crying, or else your ankle will never get healed," Blake chuckled.
"O-okay…" Ruby sniffed. "I h-have to be t-tough… like y-you and Yang!" Ruby said as she wiped away her tears.
'Tough? Like me….?' the writer thought. She smiled wider.
"Yes Ruby," she said as she scratched behind the kitten's ear. "You have to be tough like your sister and I."
She began to look for the blonde, "Right Yan-" She stopped after spotting the other kitten's face.
A light smile appeared on her face.
"Goodness…" Blake grinned. "You two both…"
Moving closer to Yang, she picked the kitten up and lightly wiped away the tears from the blonde.
"I-I'm not crying!" Yang said as she tried to move the writer's finger away. Blake kept her smile as she tried to wipe away the blonde's tears.
"Yang come on, you have to be that tough hero for your sister," Blake smiled as she wiped Yang's face.
"B-but what about your job-!?"
"Don't worry about it," Blake said.
"But what abou-"
"Hey, I said don't worry about it," the raven haired girl smile as she massaged behind their ears. Both of the kittens instantly relaxed. Blake looked at their carefree faceso as red surrounded their nose as well as under their eyes. "It's going to be okay."
As she continued to rub behind their ears, Blake's smile slowly began to disappear.
'What am I going to do...'

Coming out of an expensive car, a certain white haired girl was greeted with two rows of bowing maids.
"Welcome back Ms. Schnee," they all said in unison.
Walking tall, the girl began to walk through the two rows and toward the grand mansion before her. Taking off her business coat with every step she took, the white haired girl did not lose her powerful stare.
"Dinner is ready, miss," another bowing maid said.
"Is father here?" Weiss spoke, disregarding the dinner announcement.
"No miss," a maid informed.
"How about mother?" she asked sternly.
"No, your mother went off to a trip with your younger sister to go visit your grandparents in the Bahamas," the maid answered.
"I see," Weiss said as she continued to walk forward, her heels clicking on the expansive, tile flooring.
Walking into a bright room with a large table in the middle, Weiss made her way over to the seat at the end.
Sitting down, a maid rushed over to her side with a napkin. Placing it as a bib, another woman came in with an entree of food.
Staring past the cuisines in front of her, Weiss narrowed her eyes.
'It's empty… again...'
"Which would you like first, miss?" another maid asked.
Looking at the food, Weiss scoffed.
"I don't care."
…
Coming out of the dining hall, the white haired girl went toward a large set of stairs. Walking up the red velvet staircase diligently, Weiss reached the top where she looked at a giant painting of a man, a woman and two little girls.
Without expressing any emotion, the girl walked toward another direction.
Going through a collection of other portraits in a narrow hallway, Weiss made her way to the room at the end.
Ignoring the pictures around her, she entered the room and saw an arrangement of books on the wall, paintings scattered about, and a big desk sitting in the middle. However, no one was in the room.
Walking over to the desk, she sat down on the dark green, leatherized chair.
Looking around again, the room stood still as silence took over.
'They forgot...' she slightly frowned. 'Again...'
Laying her head down on her right arm, she placed her left hand on the desk top.
Sliding her finger on the smooth, wooden surface, she began to "draw" a star.
'Happy birthday…. I guess...'
XXX
Slightly bowing to an old man, the raven haired girl turned around and sighed under her breathe.
It had been a week since she was fired from her writing job and she was now looking for a new one.
'If I don't find a job quick...'
"Ah, Blake!" Ruby smiled and waved from on top of ramen noodle boxes. The writer looked up and grinned as she waved back.
'...I won't be able to pay this month's rent….'
"So how did it go, human?" Yang, who was standing beside her younger sister, asked.
Looking at Ruby's happy expression and Yang's serious one, the raven haired girl smiled. "It went well. The manager said he'll call me back soon once he finds an open spot."
"Really?!" Ruby ecstatically said. Yang kept a close eye to Blake's expression.
"Yes, really," the writer grinned back.
"Hooray!" Ruby cheered as she threw her paw like hands in the air. "Did you hear that Yang? Blake got a job!"
"Yeah…" the blonde kitten warily said as she continued to suspiciously look at Blake.
'Might as well get a couple of groceries now that we're here...'
Picking up the two kittens, the writer placed them on her shoulders.
"I could have gone up by myself, you know," Yang complained.
"Yeah I know," Blake smiled as she grabbed a shopping basket. "You are a tough kitty after all."
Yang blushed and turned her head. "Yeah well…. whatever…"
"Oh, Blake! Can we get those sticks with chocolate on them!" Ruby excitingly said as she patted Blake's cheek. The raven haired girl chuckled.
"Sure," she said. She looked over to the still blushing kitten. "Anything you want, Yang?"
"No," Yang simply said.
"Oh?" Blake replied, taunt in her tone. "Not even a little treat?"
"Nope."
"Hm…. so you don't want any of these delicious candies?" Blake teased.
"No, I don't want any-" the blonde stopped after looking around the aisle they were in. Surrounded by sweets, desserts, and other snacks, Yang's mouth stood open. Blake chuckled.
"You're drooling Yang," she said as she wiped the blonde's mouth with a handkerchief.
"Stop it!" Yang shouted as her hair frizzed.
"I'm only wiping off your drool," Blake said, feeling confused.
"Yeah well-" As the two argued back and forth, Ruby looked to her side.
'Is that...' she thought as she squinted her eyes to the end of the aisle. Without alarming any of the two, the small kitten wiggled her way down the writer. Reaching the floor, Ruby scurried her way to the end of the aisle.
"Besides, don't you have to save your money for important things?" Yang said as she crossed her arms.
Hearing the small kitten, Blake slightly smiled. She ruffled the blonde's hair with one finger.
"Hey!" Yang hissed.
"Don't worry about that," Blake simply replied. Yang continued to stare at her small grin. Something about that smile seemed familiar to her. Blushing, the kitten turned her head.
"Okay fine, I'll go with the peanut butter bar!" Yang finally chose. Blake smiled even wider.
Picking up the bar that the blonde asked for, her eye caught sight of a red box with chocolate sticks on them. 'Oh, Ruby wanted that...'
"Hey Ruby, isn't this the treat that you want-" Blake stopped after seeing that the redheaded kitten wasn't on her shoulder.
"Ruby?" she wondered as she started looking everywhere.
"Sis?" Yang said as she peeked over to Blake's other shoulder. Seeing nothing on the other side, the kitten's hair began to rise. "Ru-"
"Ruby, where are you?" Blake called out as she looked everywhere.
"-by…?"
'You're my one and only hero, Yang!'
The blonde's eyes widened.
Quickly leaping off of Blake's shoulder, Yang started to run to the end of the aisle.
"Yang! Stay close to me!" Blake called out with concern.
"Don't tell me what to do, human!" Yang yelled out. Reaching the end of the aisle, the kitten frantically looked both ways. 'Ruby!'
Running off to another part of the store, the blonde passed each and every aisle. "Ruby!" she called out again.
Swiftly turning corners and aisles, the raven haired girl made sure to follow Yang.
Sweating with every leap she took, the Nekoyan stopped in front of the grocery door as it opened.
"Thank you, come again," a robotic voice said as the doors fully opened.
However, no sign of the little, redheaded kitten.
"Yang!" Blake called out, huffing as she ran toward the blonde.
"Ruby…." the small being quietly said.
Looking out into the dark setting, the two stood still.
"I'm going out to look for her," Yang quietly said as she began to scurry away.
"Wait!" Blake yelled. Yang stopped. "It's too dark to go alone. Let's alert the authorities and-"
"No…" Yang interrupted. Confused from the blonde kitten's response, the writer stared at her back.
"I'm done listening to you humans…" the kitten whispered. Looking back at the raven haired girl, the blonde glared. "Because of you, I let my guard down… and now Ruby's gone."
"Yang, I'm sorry, I didn't intend for Ruby to-"
"Stop!" Yang shouted. "Just leave me alone, leave Ruby alone and stay out of my way!" she said as she began running into the dark.
"Yang!" Blake shouted. Watching as the Nekoyan ran farther away from her, Blake quickly began to sprint back into the store.
'Ruby….'
Quick footsteps made their way toward a cashier as another small being ran through the dark streets. Feeling the cold air brush against her tiny body, the blonde kitten disregarded it.
"Excuse me, did you by any chance see anyone suspicious leave?" Blake hurriedly asked the teenage cashier. "Someone who was possibly carrying a small kitten?"
Confused, the boy scrunched his face.
"I'm sorry... I don't believe I have," he replied.
Blake frowned deeper.
"But there was a woman who looked as if she was in a hurry though..." the boy faintly remembered. "Not sure if that's who you're looking for?"
Hearing his response, Blake perked up. Distressed from thinking of the smiling lost kitten, the writer lightly slammed her hands on the counter.
Hearing a light thud from the front, a certain redheaded customer stopped her movements. 'Hm?'
"Please, tell me what she looked like," Blake said in a serious tone.
Slightly afraid, the boy nodded. "Well... She had white hair... Blue eyes and a side ponytail..."
Slowly widening her eyes, the raven haired girl came to a conclusion.
"Oh, and she had a scar on her left eye-"
Hearing the last bit of information, Blake quickly ran out of the store.

Tapping her fingers along the steering wheel, a certain white haired girl irritably looked at the traffic in front of her.
She turned to her right to look at the grocery bags next to her.
'Why did they want to get food from such a dump?' she angrily thought.
Spotting the cars move in front of her from the corner of her eye, she pressed the gas pedal.
'Well… as long as they're home-'
She slightly clenched the wheel.
'-it's all worth it….'
As she listened to the noises outside as well as the car radio, the girl paid no attention to her bag. The same bag that was emanating a slight noise.
There's a trouble a brewing! Haha, welp I hope you enjoyed this chapter :) Things are definitely going to start moving, bonds will grow stronger and new friendships will be made! Also, I kinda decided to go with Weiss being human if that wasn't obvious enough. I know... I kinda wanted to see a kitty Weiss too... but who knows, maybe I'll make a chapter one day where Blake and Weiss are the Nekoyans and Yang and Ruby are the humans :p But yeah, hope y'all enjoyed and I'll see you later! Hasta luego!
