Today was the 2 year anniversary of the shop, and Kashou and I went out to celebrate. We stayed at the pub for a few rounds, and some women walked over to us. "Hello." She said in a sensual voice. "Yes?" She said something about how sexy I was. "Sorry but I'm married," I said. "What about him?" She asked "He's taken too. "The cute ones are always taken." One of them said with a sigh. We eventually decided to leave. I wasn't exactly uncoordinated out of drunkenness, but I certainly wasn't going to try driving or firing a gun, fistfights or knife fights I could certainly do. I lay down on the couch and Vanilla lay down on my chest. "Your breath smells like alcohol..." She said. "I know, but Kashou and I went out to celebrate," I said. I kissed her, and she blushed. "You taste like alcohol too..." Vanilla said. I snickered, and Vanilla nuzzled up against my chest. I gently picked her up and went to our room. I lay down, and she pulled my shirt off. I grinned, and she curled up on my chest. I began gently rubbing her head, and we fell asleep together a while later. A few hours later I woke up and gently stroked Vanilla's head while I quietly waited for her to wake up, not wanting to leave her side. She woke up a few minutes later, and I kissed her, and we went into the living room. I sat down on the couch and grabbed a book while Vanilla lay down with her head in my lap. I smiled and gently scratched her head.

The next day Vanilla, Royal, and I were going out to deliver cakes. We delivered most of the cakes without incident, but while we were walking someone seemingly either just really angry for no reason or having a terrible day walked by. He seemed particularly angry at me. He grabbed hold of my shirt. "What's your problem?" I asked. "You. I hate humanoid cats." He said, punching me in the face. I touched my nose, and my hand came away bloody. "Oh, you're going to get it now." I said, taking an offensive stance. I kicked him in the side of the head, and he fell to the ground. I put one foot on his chest, pinning him down. "You seriously need to chill." I said. He grabbed hold of my ankle and pushed me off of him. I lost my balance and landed on my knees jamming them into his chest. He groaned and I stood up. He stood up and took an offensive stance, and I took an offensive stance. He swung at my face, and I matched his punch. I heard his hand crack as his knuckles broke. Royal came up behind him and punched him in the back of the head, it sent him toward me, and I punched him in the face, and he dropped to the ground. I picked the cake I was carrying back up, and we continued delivering the last couple cakes. The rest of the day went on and I went to bed.

(Nightmare.)

It's pouring rain outside. Ms. Minaduki and Shigure are sleeping in a room. The vision moves to the front door of the Minaduki household. Someone is sneaking in. Vision moves back to the room where Ms. Minaduki and Shigure are sleeping. The intruder sneaks into the room, and he pulls out a huge knife and stands in the corner watching them sleep like a total creep.

(Reality)

I sat bolt upright and gently slid out of bed, being careful not to wake Vanilla. I pulled on my jeans and my boots and put on my chain with my tags as I grabbed my DP-12 and a handful of shotgun shells, and hit the ground running. I didn't care it was pouring, they could be in danger, if they died, it wouldn't be of natural causes like Mr. Minaduki. They would have been murdered in their sleep. If they died, it would be a while before I forgave myself. I got to the front entrance of the Minaduki household and hopped the fence. I loaded my shotgun and headed inside. I found the room and threw the door open. He was standing on Shigure's side of the bed. "Back away... Now..." I said. Shigure woke up sleepily. "Oh, Qrow what are you doing here?" She asked. "Don't turn around. Lay back down." I said. "Okay." She said, and she lay back down. I took the opportunity to drop my shotgun and shapeshift into a panther, and I growled at the intruder. Ms. Minaduki woke up and screamed. I pounced on the intruder. I shapeshifted back into my regular form and pinned down the intruder. "Get out of here you damn creep!" I shouted. He shoved me off of him and grabbed Shigure. He started running, and I grabbed my shotgun and chased after him. I tackled him just outside the front door and dragged him to the shed. I grabbed a coil of rope and tied him up and pushed him down so he was laying on his face and held him at gunpoint while I called the police to sort him out. I picked up Shigure, still quite shaken up from her near kidnapping and gently put a hand on her cheek and quietly whispered to her in an attempt to calm her down. After a few minutes, she did calm down, and I brought her inside and set her back down in her bed. I headed back home and took off my boots and dried off and went back to bed next to Vanilla.
