Raven sighed as she was driving to Yang's house using her daughter's motorcycle. Raven had Yang gripping her back, to keep her from falling off of the bike. Raven was mostly silent as she got closer and closer to her old home. Raven had trouble keeping herself contained.

When the bike pulled into the driveway, where Yang left it last, Raven got off, and picked up Yang, putting her on her back. She was still bloody from her fight with Bridget, since she was knocked unconscious. She couldn't activate her aura to heal her wounds. Raven looked at the wooden cottage, getting memories of her and Taiyang together. She shut her eyes and looked away, not wanting to remember those memories. Raven slowly walked to the door, and ever so slightly opened the door. The door made a light creaking sound, but Raven continued to open the door, a little cautious of Ruby and Taiyang waking up, but she was lucky enough to have no one come down and find her. Yet.

Raven continued to slowly walk through the house, going up the stairs to her right, all the way to Yang's room. Yang began to mumble as Raven was slowly making her way through the house. Raven stopped, hoping Yang would stop. She did, luckily. But as Raven was about to go up the stairs to Yang's room, she noticed something off in the kitchen. She saw two bottles of wine. Opened, both empty, and a glass that was partially drenched in red liquid.

'Tai...I'm sorry...' Raven thought to herself, as she wasn't exactly happy with how Taiyang was treating himself. Drinking himself to sleep? It wasn't healthy. Raven knew that Taiyang still mourned her and Summer. Raven frowned, looking away.

'I can't come back...I just can't...' Raven muttered to herself as her eyes felt a little foggy. She began her trek up the stairs. Yang continued to slightly mutter gibberish. At this point, Raven began to sweat. Not because Yang was heavy, (She was) but because Raven was afraid she'd get caught. Raven just had to get Yang to her bedroom. That's it. Raven got her and her daughter up the stairs, seeing a door directly in front of her; Taiyang's room. She was extremely careful, turning to the left. While doing so, Raven heard a little sound come from the floor. She stopped, nervous that Tai or Ruby would wake up. But she heard nothing. Two doors were seen; One on the left and one on the right. Along with a window with a perfect view of the broken moon in the center of it all. Raven walked over to the window, looking up at the night sky. She then turned to the right, and opened the door to Yang's room. She had this house memorized, luckily, so she knew exactly where her little sun dragon's room was.

Raven walked into Yang's room, held her in her arms, and put Yang on her bed. Raven stood straight, looking down at her broken daughter. First, before Raven did anything, she walked over to the window, and opened it. She needed a quick escape. Then, she moved back to her daughter, looking at her closed, somewhat bloody eyes. Raven slowly bent down to Yang's side, seeming to lean in for a...

Kiss.

A kiss on the forehead. Just like a mother would do. But...something compelled her to stop. She stopped just short of Yang's forehead, realizing what she was doing.

'Yang doesn't deserve my love. She just doesn't...' Raven quietly said to herself. Raven put her hand on her daughter's chest, and closed her eyes. Raven and Yang glowed, and Yang's wounds seemed to...heal. She was no longer bloody, she seemed perfectly fine. Raven used one of her tribe's techniques to share her aura with Yang, allowing the blonde bombshell to heal up quickly.

Now the problem was getting Yang into an appropriate attire.

Raven didn't really think this out. She probably should've done it BEFORE putting her on the bed, but everyone makes mistakes. Firstly, Raven did her best to slide off Yang's trunks, and very quickly put them in a backpack. Then, Raven went through Yang's drawers, trying to find anything that would work for pajamas. She found some pitch black shorts that she grabbed, and tried to put on Yang. Luckily she succeeded, and next was Yang's shirt. She didn't have to do this, but she felt like it was necessary. Raven looked through Yang's drawers again, this time finding a yellow and white shirt with her daughter's emblem on it; a burning heart. Raven rushed over to her daughter, lifted her now decently muscled upper chest up, and slid the shirt on. Now, her work was done.

*Crrreeeeaakkk*

Raven's ears perked up as she heard a door opening. Then, she heard some meaty footsteps coming towards the room. It was Tai.

'Shit!' Raven transformed into a...Raven, and flew out the window that she opened.

She needed that quick escape, just like she said.

Taiyang opened the door, only to see Yang sleeping peacefully, (and slightly snoring) the window cracked open, and it seemed like all was fine with the world. Tai scratched his head, wondering why he heard so many noises, but, he guessed it was his imagination. He turned around, but something caught his eye. He quickly turned back, only to see a raven's feather slowly falling to the ground. Taiyang walked into the room, and caught the feather.

"What the..." Taiyang examined the feather some more while wondering what was going on. Eventually, he gave up the ghost and left the room, going back to his own to sleep.

Raven was lucky. She was sitting atop a tree branch in the distance, watching Yang in the window. She cawed, and flew away.

The next day...

Yang woke up, laying on her bed, not knowing how she got back. She remembers lying on the floor after the bell rung, Bridget beating her to a bloody paste. And after that, everything was...a blur. She remembers...Raven grabbing her, dragging her away, and...that's it.

Yang sat up, noticing her window open slightly, just enough for a slight breeze. She looked around the room, wondering what happened. Nothing really got into her brain. She scratched her head, now looking at the backpack she has near her bed. Yang noticed something was sticking out of it. Yang walked over to the backpack, and opened it up a little bit more. It had her boxing attire in it. Including her gloves and boots!

Yang realized this was Raven's doing. She immediately got worried that she ran into her dad or Ruby. She walked downstairs, acting as normal as she could, and when she went into the kitchen, and saw her dad and little sister there, nothing seemed wrong.

"Good morning, Yang." Taiyang greeted her daughter.

"Morning, Dad." Yang greeted back, waving to her father. She walked over to the fridge, and opened it up. She was searching for any kind of beverage. Mainly milk. She needs to keep her girls in good health.

"How was your sleep?" Taiyang asked as he prepared an omelet for himself, Ruby, and Yang.

"It was good." Yang tried to keep that concept as out of mind as possible. Yang grabbed the milk jug and poured it into a cup she got from the cupboard. She walked over to the dining table, put down her glass for a second, (didn't want to spill it) and high fived Ruby. It was kinda like a greeting they have.

After Taiyang finished making their omelets, he sat down and had breakfast with them. While eating, Tai started off their conversation.

"Hey, Yang..." Taiyang started, turning to his daughter. (I don't think "blonde daughter" is really necessary as a descriptor, they're both blonde because...well, yeah.)

"Hm?" Yang looked up from her plate to see a mildly serious face.

"Did..." He hesitated a moment, almost regretting his inquisition. "...did you see any feathers in your room this morning?"

"Huh? Feathers? No." Yang shockingly responded. Why would feathers be in her room? The answered seemed to satisfy Tai, though, and he nodded in response.

"Alright. I just saw a black feather fall from the top of your room. Not sure what that could be."

Once again, his face became puzzled and somewhat troubled as he started another question. "Although..."

"What, Dad?" Ruby leaned forward, food still in her mouth, anxious to hear what her dad had to say. But her curiosity seemed to kill his, as he shook his head and surrendered that thought with a response of "Nothing. It's nothing."

"What is it-"

"Ruby. It's nothing." Yang put her arm out, blocking her sister from leaning in any further. Ruby pouted in response, as she leaned back into her chair and continued to eat her omelette.

Tai continued to eat in silence, while Yang was caught in the middle. She reached for her cup, and drank some milk. Afterwards, she thought,

'It's Raven, isn't it?'

Yang finished her breakfast and got up. She rushed up the stairs and grabbed the backpack with all her fight equipment in it, and began to leave.

"I'm going out." Yang called out to her family.

"Where are you going?" Taiyang questioned his daughter.

"I've got some...errands to run. Not sure how long I'll be." Yang responded to her dad's request.

"Alright...be careful." Tai requested of Yang.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Yang smiled, and left the house. She got on Bumblebee and drove out to Raven's gym yet again.

'Did Raven heal me? She had to have healed me...' Yang thought to herself. Yang looked forward, focusing on the road ahead of her.

After driving for a little, Yang found herself in front of Raven's gym yet again. However, this was the last day of the weekend for her. She had to go to school the next day. So, she would've had to make the most of today.

She walked up to the door, but she found a note on it. It was obviously from Raven. It said,

"Meet me at this address, and bring a swimsuit."

The bottom of the letter had the address Yang was supposed to go to, which made her a little scared. Was it a public area? Would she have to train in public? Hopefully not.

Yang got back on her motorcycle, and drove back home real quick.

'Seriously?! She obviously could've sent me a text, she could've left me a note in that backpack! ANYTHING! This is just a waste of time!' Yang growled in her head as she drove on the road back to her house. Yang quickly parked her ride, and rushed inside the house. She slammed open the door and ran upstairs.

"Yang?!" Taiyang called out, as he was doing dishes in the kitchen.

"Hang on, sorry! I forgot something!" Yang called from upstairs. She rushed into her room, and looked in one of her drawers. She pulled out a two-piece yellow and white swimsuit, quickly put it in her backpack, and rushed back downstairs. She slammed the door, and rushed back on Bumblebee. She rushed away, cranking up the accelerator. She rushed away quickly, leaving her home behind in the dust.

'Good god, Raven...ugh!' Yang groaned to herself as she drove into the city.

Yang continued to drive until she found herself outside what looked like a public pool area. She got up, and looked at the sign.

"Public Swimming Pool, Available to everyone!"

Yang sighed, as she actually *DID* need to train in public. She'll look like an idiot. And Raven will be to blame. But, something was off: she found a note on the front of the door leading inside, saying,

"Pool closed for today, Problems with filters."

Yang was surprised, as she didn't expect that the pool would be closed...

'Wait...' Yang quickly realized what *actually* is the case.

Yang walked inside, but found that the area was completely quiet. She didn't hear any splashing, any conversations, nothing.

Yang walked through the doors into a massive pool, easily deep enough to submerge herself to the bottom. And near the entrance to the water, was Raven. Same outfit as before. She wasn't even wearing a swimsuit.

"Morning, Yang." Raven nodded her head in Yang's direction, letting off a slight smile.

"You couldn't even tell me the night before or in some way before getting up and leaving that I had to bring a swimsuit?!" Yang shouted at Raven, upset at her morning chaos at the house.

"Sorry, I just couldn't get a scroll to text you about it." Raven responded, putting her hands on her hips.

Yang huffed, and shook her head. She began to walk over to a side room, that had "locker room" on it, and as she was about to enter it, she muttered,

"Thanks." Yang quietly muttered.

"What?" Raven looked at her daughter's golden locks, turning her attention to her.

"Thanks for bringing me back last night." Yang said as she put her hand on the door.

"You're welcome." Raven smiled slightly, looking at her daughter with pride.

Yang nodded, and walked through the door. After closing it, Raven chuckled a little bit. She was...gleeful. But Raven quickly forgot something. She quickly ran through the door, and pulled out some cloth wraps.

"Yang!" Raven called out.

"Raven?!" Yang cried out as well.

"I've got some wraps for you!" Raven shouted, tossing the cloth wraps into the air. Yang was lucky enough to see the cloth wraps, or rather, Raven threw them in the correct direction.

Yang grabbed them in the air, and she put them to her side.

A little later...

Yang slowly emerged from the changing room, wearing her two-piece yellow and white swimsuit, as well as having cloth wrapped around her fists.

Yang was blushing and awkwardly emerging from the room, afraid to look at her mother wearing what she was wearing.

Raven made no reaction whatsoever, just having her arms crossed.

"I can't believe you're making me swim." Yang hissed, looking at the ground with her face red as a beet.

"Uh, Yang, why in the world do you think that I had you wrap your fists?" Raven responded, condescendingly.

"I dunno." Yang shrugged her shoulders.

"Wha...ugh..." Raven facepalmed, and groaned. "You're going to be shadowboxing underwater."

"Shadowboxing?" Yang responded immediately after Raven finished.

"You...you don't know about shadowboxing?" Raven looked dumbfounded.

"No..." Yang slowly replied.

"Y-wha-" Raven was completely stumped.

Later...

Yang and Raven were beginning the basis of shadowboxing together, side by side outside the pool. They were just weaving and throwing punches around as if there were an invisible opponent in front of them. Their punches and movement were very well done, moving around so elegantly, and rather professionally. Yang had a good teacher.

Yang and Raven threw a jab together straight in front of them. Then, they stopped.

"Good, good. Now, get in the water." Raven ordered to her daughter.

"Huh?" Yang turned to her mother, confused.

"Get in." Raven motioned with her hand to have Yang jump in.

"No! Why would I-"

"You're getting in." Raven leaned back, and pushed her daughter.

"Augh- what the-"

*SPLASH*

Yang fell into the water, making bubbles after screaming underwater. She swam to the surface, and when her head touched the top...

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

"I told you to get in." Raven shrugged her shoulders, and putting her hands in her pockets.

"You didn't have to kick me in!" Yang shouted again, throwing her arms up and splashing the water.

"Just, listen. Go to a surface where you can stand." Raven sighed, and used her arm to gesture an area towards the entrance of the pool.

"Fine..." Yang growled, and swam over to a shallow area. Deep enough for the water to reach her neck, and deep enough to sink her head underneath.

"Now, begin to shadowbox with your fists under the water." Raven ordered.

"What? That's...why?" Yang questioned as she stared up at her mother.

"Because it'll help. The water gives you resistance. But training with the water fighting against you is incredibly efficient. You'll be able to build up strength in your muscles. It may be a bitch to do right now, but once you get the hang of doing it in the pool, you'll be as light as a fly on the ground." Raven smiled, explaining the reasoning behind this decision.

"Wha...okay..." Yang balled her fists, and got in her stance. Yang attempted to begin to shadowbox. It felt...awkward to say the least. To Yang, it felt like wading through wet cement. It was hard. Really hard. Within seconds, she complained yet again.

"Ugh! How am I supposed to do this?!" Yang complained, looking up to her mother, her hair floating above the water.

"Just shadowbox as normal. It'll just take time to get used to it. Go on." Raven waved her hand as a gesture to continue.

"I...*sigh* fine..." Yang stood up, no longer hovering above the water. Yang breathed in and sunk down to the bottom. She balled her fists, and got into her stance. She closed her eyes for a moment. And in her psyche, she envisioned...

An opponent, as if she were in an actual fight!

Yang opened her eyes, and did her best to envision that same outline of a girl in front of her.

The "shadow" as she called it, slowly advanced towards her. Yang got up on her toes. The shadow threw a jab, and Yang retaliated by weaving her head to the left, and countering with her right. It was slow, but that didn't matter just yet. This was her first time. Then, the shadow countered back, by shifting her weight over to the right. Yang moved along with her, always trying to face her. The shadow then went for two jabs and a hook. Yang weaved around, and stepped forward and went for a right hook for the midsection. But it didn't end up hitting the shadow. She dodged out of the way. And even though she wasn't talking, the shadow seemed to be taunting Yang. Motioning with her fist to come at her again. Yang stepped forward, and threw two right hooks for the shadow's cheeks. But, the shadow retaliated with an uppercut to Yang's chin. And right as she was about to hit, She disappeared, and Yang swam to the surface.

Raven began to clap.

"Good. Good. I could see you moving around beneath the water. You were moving around well. Just not well enough." Raven critiqued Yang's shadowboxing.

"Well...I tried to...envision my...opponent like you said.." Yang slowly said to her trainer, as she was still trying to catch her breath.

"Good. You're learning quickly." Raven bent over, and looked at her daughter square in the eye. "But you're not done yet. Again!" Raven demanded.

Yang took another deep breath, and she sunk underwater again. Her feet hit the floor, and she got into her stance again. Yang closed her eyes, and the shadow seemed to be waiting for her.

Yang and the shadow continued to circle each other, throwing punch after punch, weaving, and dodging around the pool. Yang had trouble keeping up. She just couldn't stay on the same level of speed as her opponent. Yang kept getting "hit" over and over again. Yang couldn't even hit her "opponent" underwater. And every time, it kept frustrating her. Every time she'd come up to the surface, Raven would tell her to try again. And Yang did.

But every time she got nowhere. Finally, after maybe four hours of shadowboxing underwater, Yang had enough. She came up to the surface, exhausted, drained, and over this underwater training.

"I'm done. I've been at this for god knows how long. I'm getting nowhere." Yang complained as she moved her arms up on the concrete.

"Hmm...Let's see...get out of the water real quick." Raven stroked her chin, and motioned with her hand to have Yang get out. Yang did, and asked for a towel to dry off.

"Not yet." Raven denied Yang's towel.

"Why?" Yang threw her arms up into the air in response.

"Try shadowboxing now." Raven demanded. She continued to stroke her chin. Yang rolled her eyes, and got into her stance yet again.

And almost immediately, she began jumping up and down. More like hopping. Yang closed her eyes, and envisioned the shadow yet again. When she emerged in front of Yang. Yang got the jump on her "opponent." She sprung forward and threw a hook right for the shadow's sides! But, something seemed off.

Yang felt light as air. Her movement wasn't very taxing on her. Yang smiled, and chuckled. She looked ahead and saw the shadow shaking her head back and forth, as if it was shaking off the pain. Yang advanced yet again, and this time she threw two left jabs, and then a right hook. Afterwards, Yang fired a right cross into a left body blow. The shadow kept staggering. Yang was gitty with excitement! Afterwards, the shadow went on the offensive. But Yang let that happen. Normally, Yang would punish her opponent in that staggered state, but Yang wanted to see how easy it would be to dodge now. When the shadow approached, Yang bounced on her toes, staying as light on her feet as possible.

The shadow threw volleys and volleys at the blonde pugilist, But Yang dodged and weaved around with ease. Most punches were hooks aimed at an angle and crosses aimed for Yang's face, but Yang just kept dodging. Yang huffed, and stepped forward with her left foot. Afterwards, she cocked back a right body blow and when it connected, the shadow disappeared. To Yang, she had won.

"YES!" Yang jumped up into the air in celebration.

"Good, good. I'm surprised you were able to move like a feather. I'm impressed. Now, I do need you to do something for me." Raven chuckled a little bit, happy with Yang's progress.

"What's that?" Yang asked, before turning around to see a towel being thrown in her face. The blonde grabbed it and began to dry herself off.

"I've got this list for you. I want you to start applying this to your daily regimen." Raven held out a piece of paper she worked on while Yang was shadowboxing.

"Hmm.." Yang dried off her hands well enough to hold the paper. And on it, it read,

1. 10 mile run
2. 250 push ups (150 one handed)
3. 200 sit ups
4. 100 pull ups
5. Jump rope for 30 minutes
6. Shadowbox for 30 minutes
Repeat

Yang's eyes widened at how much work she'd have to do to complete all of these requirements.

"It's a lot. Get used to it. Cause if you don't, you'll never be able to keep up in the long run." Raven said to Yang.

"R-Right..." Yang's arm began to shake. She was worried she couldn't keep up with everything.

"I'd suggest doing this twice a day. Do one full routine in the morning, the earlier the better. And one near the evening. For example, start at, say...five o'clock in the morning-"

"FIVE A.M.?!" Yang screeched, not happy at these "suggestions" Raven was giving her.

"Yeah." Raven replied casually.

"Wha...?!" Yang stuttered once again.

"...And one at around evening. Maybe around seven or eight o'clock. That way you can run off and work off all that food old Tai made for you." Raven smiled.

"Don't..talk about him." Yang's mood just took a full 180. Yang tapped her foot, upset at Raven for bringing up her father. She wasn't even in the mood to train any more for the day.

"I..." Raven stopped herself, not wanting to make Yang any more mad. "Alright. Just try and fulfill this, okay?" Raven requested.

"Fine." Yang flicked the paper away, and stormed away from her mother, almost racing over to the changing rooms.

'Okay, first thing not to mention in front of Yang: Taiyang...Jeez...' Raven made a mental note to herself.

Yang emerged from the changing rooms a few minutes later, too upset to even say goodbye. All she did was storm away, in a heat of rage, and left the building.

Leaving Raven all alone, to think on her actions.

Later on that day, Yang was just hanging around in her room, checking social media sites on her scroll. Yang put her scroll on her bed, and she sighed. And after that, Yang looked at her closet. She got up, and began to search through her closet for some warm clothes. She ended up finding some gray sweatpants and a gray hood that she worn as a kid. She put both on, as well as some fingerless gloves.

Yang rushed down the stairs and out the door. She began to stretch out her legs, and jumped up and down. A slight breeze was in the air. Yang huffed, and she began to run.

Yang ran all throughout Patch, hoping to eventually find a place to stop that is 5 miles from her house. Yang jogged past the forest near her house, she jogged past various buildings, and eventually found herself in front of Raven's gym!

Yang bent over, and breathed heavily. She couldn't run anymore. She then pulled out her Scroll, and she then pulled up an application.

It read 10 miles.

She would end up running DOUBLE the amount!

Yang's eyes widened, and she then whined. Yang then turned around and began to run back home. Her route didn't change on the way home.

After running back home, Yang nearly collapsed. But she didn't Yang stopped short of the door, and just stopped to breathe. She bent over, and tried to just catch her breath. Yang felt like if she sat down she wouldn't get up. After waiting for maybe a minute, Yang opened the door and stumbled up the stairs. She nearly collapsed yet again, sweating buckets as she began to take off her clothes and put on some more revealing clothing.

She put on her workout clothes, and she began to do her 250 pushups. It hurt to move, but she had to. Yang began her push ups on her floor.

"Yang!"

Yang was too focused to hear the call out.

"Yang!"

Yang pushed herself up. Her face was already red. She could see the sweat slowly drip off her face.

"YANG!"

Yang then lowered herself to the ground. Then, she pushed herself up again.

Someone began to stomp over towards Yang's room. The sound seemed very loud and more...meaty. Taiyang was getting towards Yang's room.

"Yang!" Taiyang slammed open the door in anger. When he opened the door, he didn't see his daughter on her bed. He heard grunting. He looked down, and saw Yang's golden mane full of sweat.

"Y-Yang?" Taiyang stepped back a little bit.

Yang stopped her pushup, and looked up. "Oh! Dad..." Yang breathed heavily, and she continued to push herself off the ground.

"Uh...y-you know that Dinner's ready, right?" Taiyang questioned his daughter.

"Oh-is it?" Yang breathed in heavily, her arm and hand veins popping out.

"Hey, Dad? Where's the..." Ruby came up behind Taiyang. "Yang? What are you doing?" Ruby looked down to see her older half-sister sweating buckets and doing pushups.

"I'm trying to work out..." Yang sighed, breathing in some more air.

"We know." Taiyang replied. "Can you just come down for dinner?" Taiyang requested.

"Alright..." Yang sighed, and stood up. She slowly made her way down the stairs.

"Ruby? What did you need?" Taiyang slowly asked her daughter.

"Uh...where's the milk? We're out..." Ruby slowly replied to her dad's question.

"It's, um...in the garage..." Taiyang answered back.

"Okay..." Ruby once again replied, this time walking down the stairs.

Meanwhile, Taiyang just stared at the stairs.

'What are you up to...?'
