Chapter 18: His Strike

After Ruby and Yang got home from school, the two of them began doing their homework. While they do so, Yang was not herself at the moment since he saw the person she wanted to see last. She couldn't help but put her homework aside and sit on her bed hugging her knees.

"Yang? Are you.... okay?" Ruby asked her worried.

"I'm fine, Ruby.... I'm just.... scared." She said looking away from her.

Ruby stands up and approach her sister, sitting next to her. Her hand touched her shoulder as Yang looks at her with the scared expression.

"Can you tell why are you scared? I don't want to see you like that, sis." She said to her.

She thinks about it I'd she should tell her about her seeing Taiyang hours ago, she hesitated to tell since she knew what will happen if she did. To avoid her questions, she stands up from her bed and walks out of the room leaving a confused and worried Ruby. Yang head downstairs and enter inside the kitchen. She opens the fridge then grabs a water bottle, opening the cap she drinks the contents of it. Closing the cap, she placed it back in the fridge then close it and went inside the living room and to the bookshelf.

Checking every book to find the book she once read months ago, she realized it's not there. Footsteps were heard from behind her and she turns around to see her mother.

"Oh, hi mom." She said in her unusual voice.

"Ruby said to me there is something bothering you. Can you tell me what it is?" Raven kneels down and looks at with a concerned expression.

"It's nothing mom, I was just frustrated because of school. Nothing serious." She said smiling to convince her.

But Raven didn't buy it.

"I know that you're lying, Yang. You don't have to hide it from us, so is everything all right?" Raven asked her.

Yang just looks at her worried and afraid, she doesn't want to tell them because she doesn't want to cause them any more problems. But she told her anyway.

"W-while we were in school, when it was lunch me, Ruby and Haile were in the playground. Me and Ruby decided to play by the swing, while we're playing I saw him looking at me....." She couldn't contain it so tears started to appear from her eyes.

"Hey, don't cry. It's okay, tell me who's him you're talking about." Raven tries to calm her down.

"It..... It was Tai." She answered.

When Raven heard of this, she was shocked. Thinking about it, she pressumed that he must be after the two of them. Raven hugs Yang to calm her down, she hugs back and the two of them stayed like that..

"It's going to be fine Yang, I'll make sure to keep you and Ruby safe and away from him. So you don't have to worry a single thing about it." She said to her.

They broke the hug and look at each, Raven smiled and hold her daughter's cheeks.

"You go to your room now, I'll go talk to your father." Raven stands up and walks upstairs and to their bedroom.

She opened the door to reveal Y/N sleeping on the bed. The door closes as she sighs, her gaze was set upon his coat. She then grabs it and was about to hang it until she noticed something in its pocket. Her hand took the item inside and look at it to see a picture.

The photo contains of their house and two adults, like a couple and a boy standing in the middle of them. The three of them have genuine smiles especially the young boy, she looks closely at the photo and saw that it was Y/N was a child and the two adults are his parents. Their expressions made Raven smile.

She then put the photo back in the pocket and hang th coat on a hanger. After seeing the photo, she began to wonder.

"(What happened to his parents?)"

Karra and John were both in a mission in Patch. It is said that Grimm started to appear and began causing destruction in a town so its their job to stop it. The two of them hurriedly went there and began to defeat each of the soulless beasts.

"How did they get so many in such a short period of time?!" Karra said.

"Don't know, but this might be because of some negative emotions that lured them here." John answered and sliced off a Grimm's head with his sword.

"Could it be that alot of them were around the town?" Karra asked him and shots a Beowolf with her pistol.

"Maybe, enough chit chat for now. We gotta finish them fast." John proceeds to get hit by an Ursa's paw.

He got sent back lying on the ground then standing back up.

"Are you okay?!" Karra asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just need more damage." He said.

He purposely took the hits of the Grimm until it was finally enough. Light blue aura started to emit from him, Karra knew what this meant and stepped back smirking. John then grabs the brass knuckles from his pocket and wore it. The aura around him started to get larger and soon he jumps towards some Grimm and punches the ground in front of one and ice spikes formed and stabbed the them. They soon faded and he continues to do that on the rest. After a few minutes, all the Grimm are now gone.

"Well, that was fast." Karra said smiling.

John removes his brass knuckles and put it back in his pocket.

"Are those all?" John said walking towards her.

"Yeah that's all of them, you sure do left a mess around." Karra said.

"Yeah, they'll melt soon anyway. Our payment will be sent to our accounts right?"

"Yep. Hey John, should we check and see if you Tai is around? Since we're in Patch he might be around." She asked.

"Sure, might as well give him a lesson while we do so." The two of them started walking deep in the forest.

They kept walking and walking until they reached a familiar wooden house. Outside they noticed that the flowers on the flower beds don't look well, as if no one has been watering them since.

Karra and John stand in front of the door, Karra knocked it and received no response.

"He must have been out of home." She said.

"Wait a second look." John points at the door knob.

Karra turned the door knob and push it and realized it is open. They were then surprised from what they saw inside.

"What happened here?" John asked no one.

The whole house was a mess, the furnitures weren't arranged properly, some objects were lying on the floor and they also noticed some bottles of beer on the side.

"This isn't what Tai used to be. Let's just go back now..." A worried expression is plastered on Karra's face.

"We should, come on." He closed the door and the two of them immediately left.

........................

"Well everything is perfect now, time to get revenge on them."

"Hmm, what will you do first?"

"I'd say...... Make those little rats pay."
