E: STARTING THE CHAPTER!!!



A/n P.O.V.

We start off this chapter by looking down at what appears to be a full veiw of many bushes moving past the camera at a very fast rate, It looked as if the camera was flying, then out of no where, withing the "bushes" was a small park. The "camera" flew around the park and then slowly started to go down.

This reveals that those "bushes" were actually the top of trees.

The park made up of many different areas for kids to play in, there was a swing set, a yellow slide, some tunnels leading to different areas of the park, monkey bars, a spiral pole, and a small rock climbing wall.

The camera lands on the ground near the bottom of the slide, there we see something curled up right under neath the slide.

The camera then changes angles to reveal that the "camera" was just the perspective of a crow, it's feathers were slightly ruffled, making it look like it had hair slicked back.

(Like this but imaging it on the ground)


it's red eyes looked at the figure as it tilted its head from side to side. It would hop closer to the lump on the ground, then it got close to it. It turned out that small lump was a small boy curled up, but this boy looked familiar. He was slightly shivering from the wind that blew under the park.

The crow then lightly pecked the boys head, it was trying to wake him up, and it worked.

The boys eyes slowly started to flutter open. Once they were fully open he sat up from the ground and streched a bit, it was none other thanked Y/n, he let out a cute yawn and rubbed his blood shot eyes.

Y/n: *sniff* what?

After rubbing his eyes, y/n looked around and say where he was.

Y/n: oh. . . . . . *saddened* right. .  . . .

Y/n brought his knees up to his face and hugged them.

Y/n: . . . . . . . . . What do I do now?

*CAW*

He jumped and looked around.

Y/n: H-huh?!

He looked down at the crow as it kept looking at him. Y/n looked at the crow in confusion then he looked around.

Y/n: o-oh?  . . . . Are you hungry?

The crow didn't respond, it just tilted its head at y/n.

Y/n: I wish I could give you some food but- *stomach growls* . . . . . *sad chuckle* sorry about that. *sigh* I'm also hungry.

The crows head perked up and then it quickly flew up, y/n watched as it started to fly back over the forest, he let out a sad sigh and got up. He rubbed of whatever dirt he had on his clothes and go out from under the park.

Y/n: *sigh*. . . . . I guess I should find some food.

Y/n then left the park, but he made sure to stick close to the forest so no one could see him, he also had his hood on. He walked through the large forest, it felt like he hald walked for a long time,, but he always kept close to the road, he had his head down to keep it so if anyone did see him they wouldn't make out his face. Unfortunately this also ment we couldn't see where he was going so-

*BONK!*

Y/n: ow! *Puts hands on head*

He eventually walked into a something. After rubbing his head he looked up and saw a sign that said.

"Welcome to vale"

Y/n looked past the sign and saw the town it looked like a mix between a Middleville village and a modern town. The streets were filled with stands, stores and, most of all, People.

Seeing all the people y/n gulped and decided to stick to the back of the buildings. He kept walking, until his stomach growled again, he gripped his stomach and lightly bit his tongue.

Y/n: my stomachs starting to hurt.

Suddenly his noses smelled something, he raised his head and followed the smell, it lead to him looking out from the allyway. And there across the street, was a hotdog stand, y/n's eyes sparkled and he started drilling as he say the guy at the stand giving out some sizzling hot dog, filled with toppings.

Y/n's growled even more, but y/n shook his head and wiped away the droll from his mouth.

Y/n: I-I know, but how are we gonna pay for food?

Y/n said as he looked at the price of the hot dogs, it was 4.99 lies per hot dog. And as of right now he didn't have any money. Then suddenly two people walked past Y/n towards somewhere farther back on the sidewalk. Y/n watched as they stopped near a small crowd of people.

This got the boys curiosity, so he stepped out from the allyway entrance and decided to walk over to where they were, as he was getting closer he could hear what sounded like a guitar playing, he moved past a couple of people and saw someone holding a guitar, playing it, and y/n listened and watched this man play.


The people around clapped and y/n got sparkles in his eyes again and he clapped with them, then suddenly he got a light bulb idea.

The small group decided to leave as the man with the guitar started to count the lien, he made. While he was counting Y/n slowly and timidly made his way to him.

Y/n: e-excuse me. . . . M-mister?

The guy looked up and smiled at Y/n.

???: oh! Sorry I didn't see you there bud!

The man put the lien away and looked at y/n.

???: what can I help you with?

Y/n: I-I was w-wondering. . . . . . . *mumble*

Y/n mumbled his words and fiddled with his hands and looked down at the ground, avoiding eye contact, as the man kept staring at him.

???: sorry?

Y/n looked up and cleared his throat.

Y/n: I-I was w-wondering . . . . If I-I can make some l-lien?

Y/n fiddler with his hands, waiting for a response. The man was gonna ask y/n where his parent were, but he looked at the state of him, ripped and dirtier clothes, some small scrapes, and the sound of a gurgling stomach. The man took a deep breath and smiled at Y/n.

???: sure kid.

Y/n: R-Really?!

Y/n looked up at the man with stars for eyes, this made the man chuckle and stand up with his guitar.

???: Yeah, you got a idea of what you wanna do?

Y/n thought for a minute and put a finger on his chin. He then clapped his hands and smiled. He motioned for the guitarist to come close and he whispered into his ear.

???: you sure? That's a pretty hard song to keep with.

Y/n said nothing, except he nodded with determination. The man chuckled again and gave y/n a spare microphone he had.

???: then let give these people a show.

Young Yang Pov. 5 minutes before

Dad (Tai): you sure he was there?

Uncle qrow: *sarcasticly* geez I don't know, I didn't get a clear look, maybe if I was stood on top of him I could've made sure-

Dad: alright, alright I get it qrow.

Yang: I wonder what dad and uncle qrow are talking about?

I said outloud as I was sitting on top of the slide in a small park set, I wanted to keep listening in to what they were saying but I felt something lightly pushing my back

I looked behind me and saw ruby trying to push me off the slide, I smiled and quickly grabbed her. I put her on my lap and got to the edge of the slide.

Yang: ready?

Ruby: YAH!

Yang: okay!

As we hit the ground  I kept hearing the conversation between my dad and uncle qrow.

Dad: I don't get it, this kid was able to kill a full grown grimm, just by his semblance, how did you describe it?

Uncle qrow: like a speeding bullet.

I saw dad put a hand on his chin and then he walked around in place. I wanted to keep listening but I felt ruby tugging my hand.

Ruby: yang again! Yang Again!

I looked back at her and smiled.

Yang: you wanna go again?

Ruby *bouncing in place*: Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!

I laughed at how my sister could be this cute.

Yang: okay let's go!

Taiyang P.O.V

I turned my head and watched as yang and ruby were playing on the slide. I smiled for a second, but then I thought about the kid.

Tai: you sure, and I'm asking you seriously qrow, you don't remember anything more?

Qrow kicked the grass and put both his hands in his pockets.

Qrow: I'm sorry Tai that's all I got. Unless you got some sort of drink that can recover memories from hangovers, then I'm of no more use.

I sighed one more time and shook my head.

Tai: well, we should probably-

I was gonna suggest look near here but then I heard a pair of small footsteps coming up behind me.

I turn and saw yang holding ruby by the hand standing behind me. I smiled and kneeled down to yang height.

Yang: hey! my little fire cracker and her adorable little rose of a sister!

I ruffled bith yang and ruby's hair, ruby was giggling the entire time, but yang upset and she tried to smacked my hand away, but it just looked like she was trying to swat a fly away.

Yang: daaaaaaad! No touchy!

I chuckled and stopped rubbing her head.

Tai: okay, okay, what's up?

Ruby walked up to me and jumped in place.

Ruby: dad!dad!dad!dad!dad!dad!dad!didyouseeus?wewentupandthenwewent*swoosh*andthenandthenandthen-

I was having a hard time understanding ruby, but I was enjoying her innocence, so not wanting to ruin it, I tried my best to keep her happy.

Tai: Yeah! Yeah I saw you! You were both zooming up and down that slide.

I laughed as ruby and yang both gave the biggest smiles a child could give. Then I heard something.

*growl*

My eyes widened and I quickly turned to qrow, who was about to take a swig of his flask.

Tai: sweet oum, qrow! You scared me, I thought that was a grimm for a second.

Qrow *still I holding his flask near his mouth*: that wasn't me dude.

I raised an eyebrow then turned back and saw both ruby and yang slightly blushing, ruby was twiddling with her fingers, and yang was playing with her hair.

Tai: oh. . . . .  OH!- I-I'm sorry kids! Those were very cute.

I awkwardly smiled and stood up.

Tai: I guess we did leave before I could cook you guys break-

I suddenly got a lightbulb idea and stopped mid-sentences I then turned and saw qrow also having wide eyes.

Tai/qrow: VALE!

I pick up yang and I give qrow ruby, I put yang on my shoulders giving her a piggy bag ride, and qrow did the same with ruby, but he was struggling a bit.

Tai: alright girls hold on tight, were gonna go to vale and then were gonna go get some food okay?

Ruby: oh! Oh! Oh! Can we get chicken nuggies?

Yang: can we dad? Can we?

Tai: hehe, sure girls.

I look at qrow and give him a smirk, he give me a smirk back.

Tai: see you there.

Qrow: pfft, I should be telling you that.

We both got in position to start running.

Tai: alright on the cout of three! One-

Ruby: three!

Qrow instantly started full sprinting towards vale.

Yang: RUBY! THATS CHEATING!

Tai: oh ho how! Their on, hold on yang!

I quickly start chasing after them.

[Timeskip]

Yang p.o.v.

I held ruby's hand, and watched as both dad and uncle qrow were panting from the long run. Uncle qrow was resting his head on a pole that was nearby, and dad had his head down while holding his knees.

Tai: I *pants and shoots head up with a sweaty smirk* Win!

Qrow: *pants and looks at Tai* like hell!

They then kept arguing for a while, I shook my head and looked back a ruby.

Yang: there gonna be like that for a while.

Ruby: probably- hey do you hear that?

I raised an eyebrow and tried to listen hard.

Yang: is that music?

Suddenly ruby let go of my hand and ran into vale.

Yang: RUBY! WAIT!

A/n p.o.v.

The sudden yell from yang got the attention of the arguing adults, they were barely able to catch as yang ran into vale after ruby.

Tai: oh crap!

Qrow: c'mon!

Both the adults chased the girls into vale, all the while the sound of someone singing could be heard.

(Start at 1:22).

The small family tried their best to stay together, ruby was following the music, yang was following ruby, meanwhile Tai and qrow were behind yang.

They past by multiple, stands, some of them jewelry, others selling food such as burgers, chips, and some even sold some fries. Qrow stopped chasing and went over to the fry stand. Luckily enough there was no one in line for them.

Qrow: hi, yeah can I get two- no three baskets of curly fries?

Tai stopped and turned around for a second.

Tai: Qrow! Seriously!?

Qrow: Keep going! I'll catch up!

Tai rolled his eyes and kept following yang.

Qrow: yeah, can I make a request? Yeah? Okay, dunk one of those baskets entirely in ketchup please, yes entirely, as In put the basket under the ketchup thing and show no mercy, make it look like a crime scene, thank you.

Meanwhile Tai finally managed to catch up to yang, although they both stopped at an intersection.

Tai: yang! Where's your sister!?

Yang: I-I don't know!

Tai picked up yang and put her on his shoulders. Then he tried to follow the music. Eventually he saw a crowd gathering around a small area by the side walk, ther he could see a small girl wearing a red cal trying her best to look through the crowd.

Tai: *sigh of relief* oh thank oum!

Tai jogs up behind ruby and picks her up.

Tai: Ruby, remember what I tell you every time we come "always stay close . . . . . "

Ruby: . . . . . to dad or yang.

Tai: atta girl. No let's go get your uncle before he does a crime.

As Tai was walking away, there was a sudden gust of wind, yang turned as to not get hit by anything, but as she turned she could see who was singing as the sudden gust of wing knocked their hood off, she was able to see above the crowd and saw-

Yang: *gasp* Wait! dad! *pulls Tai's hair*

Tai: Ow! Yang, careful.

Yang sat up straight and she could make out who was singing.

Yang: *quietly* it's him. . .

Tai: what?

Yang kept watching as Y/n held the microphone close and was moving around as if he was a ball of energy. The crowd was loving it, then a and yang . . . . .  She couldn't look away. The way he smiled, as he was singing, she couldn't look away.

Yang:*louder* it's him!

Tai: who? Who is it sweetie?

Y/n got on a light post and swung himself around it, he was smiling with his eyes closed, as light reflected of pole and I made it seem as he was glowing..

Yang: its the kid that save me and ruby.

Tai: WHAT!

By now Y/n had finished singing and the crowed clapped as he was panting from all the dancing and singing he was doing, he smiled and did a small bow, the crowed cheered and put money into the guitar case of the street performer. After a while they all started to leave, Tai tried getting close but he kept getting blocked by people. Meanwhile Y/n went over to the street performer, while lightly tapping the microphone against the palm of his hand.

Y/n: sooo . . . . .was that. . . . . Good?

???: good? Kid, you knocked their hats off!

Y/n gave a big smile, and blushed a bit.

Y/n: thank you *holds out microphone*

The performer saw this a gave y/n a small smile. He then pushed the microphone to Y/n's chest.

???: keep it.

Y/n raised an eyebrow, and was about to ask something but instead he bearly was able to catch a neatly tied Wad of lien.

???: and here's your reward.

Y/n looked at the money and then saw the performer packing up.

???: you keep singing like that kid, and you'll be going place.

Y/n smiled again and quickly thanked the man, he then ran off with both the microphone and lien, and he had one place to go in mind.

[Timeskip]

Y/n was seen sitting on a bench near the entrance of vale, he has happily biting into a hot with his favorite topping, he was dangling his legs in a child like fashion. As he took a bite out of the hotdog that had twice the size of his hand, he would hum the melody to the song he sang to get the hot dog.

He watched as people would leave and enter vale, then he spotted a familiar girl, two actually. They were with two adult, one of them was holding two baskets of curly fries, and the other was holding what looked like a basket just filled with ketchup. they all then saw him on the bench and stopped walking right infront of him.

Y/n: *mouth full of food* Oh . . . . . *gulp* . . . . . Hi there . . . . .  . .?
