Nekopara fanfic

Chapter 61

After lunch, we all changed into our racing suits and Vanilla and I hopped in my RX7 and Milk rode with Raven. Ox, Azuki, Raven, and I drove to the event and Royal tagged along too, probably since Raven was going to be there. We arrived and Milk looked around excitedly. Aki walked over to us. Milk seemed kinda nervous all of a sudden. "Hey guys," Aki said. "H-hello Aki," Milk replied nervously. "Hey, I recognize you, you used to come to drag and drift racing events with your owner all the time, where is she by the way?" Aki asked. I covered Milk's ears. "She was murdered, two weeks ago," I said. I uncovered Milk's ears. "Milk is part of the family now," I replied as Milk held onto my right hand. They started calling out racers. "Guess we've gotta go, we can talk later, okay?" Aki said. Milk nodded. I put on my helmet. Raven, Aki, Ox, Azuki, and I were the top 5 at the end of the event. (Not in that particular order, though.) Milk and Vanilla wrapped themselves around my arms. I picked them up and hefted them up onto my shoulders. I let them back down and Aki came over to talk with Milk. They chatted for a while and we headed back home. I changed into my regular clothes and Maple came upstairs out of nowhere looking terrified. "Help me..." Maple said. I realized there was a large cut across her back. "What happened!?!" I asked. "Someone with a large kitchen knife was chasing me and..." Whatever Maple was saying was cut off as she fainted. I caught her before she hit the floor. I saw just how deeply she got cut, she needed to get fixed up ASAP or she could end up with some permanent side effects. I felt eight more tails sprout out behind me and my ears became slightly larger. Ox came out and saw Maple. "Hold onto her, this is going to hurt her like hell," I said. I pulled her shirt off and placed my left hand over the cut, clamping my right hand over her mouth. I focused and felt my left hand grow warmer. I slowly ran my hands along the cut and it closed itself up behind where I had already gone over. I finished up and the cut was closed up, leaving a long diagonal scar across her back. Ox and I released her and she sat down, crying from the pain. I handed her some pain medicine and tea, as well as one of my shirts. The nine tails, merged back into my normal tail and my ears shrank back to their normal size. I grabbed my DP-12 and headed outside. I looked around and saw a man standing with a large kitchen knife.

(This is gonna get a bit graphic)

 It was Katashi. "It's you... How did 18 years of prison food taste?" I growled. "Qrow? If it's you, then I'm going to have some fun taking my revenge..." Katashi replied. "Yes, it is me, and I think you'll either end up the same way you did all those years ago or, you could end up... Six feet under..." I said, cocking my shotgun. He ran toward me and once he was close enough I pressed the barrels of my DP-12 to his gut and pulled the trigger, knocking him back and tearing a massive hole where his internal organs used to be, killing him instantly. I pressed my shotgun to his head and blasted him with the second barrel, demolishing his skull. I cocked my shotgun and went back inside, both barrels of my shotgun still smoking. Ox was sitting with Maple, calming her down. "There isn't much left of him to bury," I said, sitting down next to Maple giving her a hug. She cheered up a bit and softly kissed both of us. I gently rubbed her head and she purred softly. It was getting late so I made dinner. After, Maple grabbed hold of my dog tag chain and dragged me into Ox's room. Maple lay down next to Ox and she gestured for me to join them. I looked over to Vanilla, who simply nodded. I joined them and Maple was cuddled in-between me and Ox. I slid out of the bed and grabbed my wrench and unbolted my arm, then lay back down with them. Maple purred softly and fell asleep. The next morning I woke up extra early and got dressed, then grabbed my trench coat and headed out to an instrument shop. I bought something for Maple, tied a ribbon around it, then went home. I set the box on the nightstand in Ox's room and left Maple a note.

(Maple's perspective)

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. I looked over on the nightstand and saw a metal box with a ribbon around it and a note. "For Maple, from Qrow. 49 100% pure platinum guitar picks, 49 999.999% gold picks. (999.999% is the purest gold ever refined) I flipped the note over. 2 extra special picks, look underneath all the other picks." It said. I carefully removed all the guitar picks and underneath some paper were two clear guitar picks and another note. "2 pure diamond guitar picks, for a total of 100 picks," It said. I smiled. I pulled out the two diamond picks and realized they were on a necklace chain. I put the necklace around my neck and put the rest of the guitar picks back in the case, walking out to the living room.
