AN: Hey all. As promised, we get to look into the history of Jaune before he met Ruby and the others. If you're expecting sunshine and rainbows: You're in the wrong chapter.

History: Jaune

Pain. That was the feeling in Jaune's jaw as a White Fang grunt had punched him in the jaw while he was chained to the floor in some basement of a club. Now how does teenager who just turned sixteen a month ago get into this mess? If he had to place a beginning, it all started when he met a girl and her flamboyant uncle.

Two years ago

"Very nice, kid." An orange haired man said while nudging one Jaune's bullies with his cane. "It wasn't anything flashy, but the results? …Mmmwa! Stewed to perfection. Neo sweety. Your opinion?"

The green-eyed twintailed girl showed her two hands, then open and closed it with ten fingers showing again. She was currently by Jaune's side looking him over while he was pick pocketing one of the guys that were beaten down.

"A ten out of ten?" The man gasped theatrically walking to place a hand on Jaune's shoulder. "Why, that's what I'm looking for. Say pal, why not-"

"Not interested." The blonde muttered coldly, hoping to get away from the strange man while pocketing the money he got.

"Aww, come on." The ginger followed, not getting a clue he wasn't wanted. "You're what? Fourteen? Fifteen? I'm sure you'd like a lot more cash in your wallet. More than what you can get beating guys down in an alleyway."

"Leave me alone." Jaune said through gritted teeth, quickening his pace. He was quickly stopped as a cane had caught onto his foot and almost made him trip. "Hey!"

"Nice footwork." The man commented with hand on chin, the short girl right behind him while copying his movements. "Usually others always fall for that one. …Bad pun aside, you got what I'm looking for kid. So what do you say?"

"No." After saying that, Jaune had turned around to leave but was halted by something jumping on his back.

Turning around, he was now cheek to cheek with the short twintailed girl. From what he overheard, the man called her Neo. Now that they were in better lighting an up close, he noticed that she was very cute. And judging by the pink on her cheeks, she was either embarrassed or thought something good about him too. Sadly, whatever nice opinion he had on her was drowned out as he felt her arms wrapping tight around his neck. She was trying to choke him out.

Grabbing her head, he threw her off him and watched as she landed gracefully and bowed to him with a grin.

"Good reflexes too?" The man commented on the sidelines. "You're just digging yourself deeper kid. If you sucked, then this would have been different. But too late, you've shown how good you are."

"Shut up!" Jaune shouted, turning to the unnamed ginger.

Hearing the faint sound quick steps behind him, he had quickly spun around to see Neo in midair trying to repeat her last assault. It was too late as she had already landed on him with her hands wrapping around his neck and legs around his torso. It also didn't help that Jaune had caught her by reflex with his hands on her butt to hold her up.

"Ooh." If Jaune wasn't in a compromising position at the moment, he would have turned to tell the man to die on the spot.

In fact, he was about to turn to him, but the girl wrapped around him had taken her arms off his neck to place her hands on his cheeks. She leaned in to the point their foreheads touched gently and they could feel the other's breathe on their lips.

BAM!

Then she had pulled back swiftly to headbutt him in the nose before kicking off him with a back flip. He could feel the blood gushing out and onto his lips. It wasn't broken, but it hurt a hella lot. He had cracked an eye open just in time to see her aiming a kick for his groin. Luckily he had caught it and managed to pull her in to hit her with his shoulder. It was a beautiful retribution to see her fall flat on her rear after getting slammed in the chest. As she got up and looked at him with surprise, she smirked and moved to stand near the ginger haired man to give him a tap on the arm.

"No, no." The man raised his hands. "I've seen enough. I'm not tagging in."

"So that's it?" Jaune huffed, pinching his nose to stop the blood. "Can I go now?"

"Yeah." The man sighed disappointedly, hands clasped together. "You can go. I don't like it, but you're too stubborn. You couldn't even let my cute niece knock you out to bring to our base."

Walking towards him, he raised his gloved hand for a handshake. "Sorry for the trouble. Name's Roman by the way."

"Jaune." The blonde muttered, getting close to give a handshake. But the moment he raised his hand, Roman raised his higher. "Huh?"

"Sorry." Roman laughed, putting his up for a high five. "I just remembered how uncool a handshake is to you kids these days. I think a high five would be better, don't you think?"

"Whatever." Jaune huffed, raising his hand high and receiving the high five. "Later then."

"Hear that, Neo?" Roman nudged his niece. "He didn't say goodbye. That means we might see him again."

All Neo did was roll her eyes at her uncle's attitude. The only reason Roman wanted him was because he beat up three of the White Fang's big muscles on his own. She could have done it herself, but the guy just had them follow him into an alley and mercilessly beat them down.

"Well excuse me for thinking of getting you a partner." The ginger sniffed, rubbing her head. "His info if you would?"

Pulling out a wallet that certainly wasn't hers, she tossed it to him to go and loot the men in the alley herself. They had interrupted the blonde while he was on the first guy that he forgot about the other two.

"Jaune Arc." Roman read after opening the wallet and pocketing a few of the loose change. "Ooh, look at this Neo. He's your age. Junior High. Has a coupon for free ice cream."

Neo instantly ran up to grab that item before going back to her looting.

"And he has a condom!" Roman gasped with a small snicker. "Either someone's getting some by now or he's just optimistic. What do you think Neo?"

All the teen did was wave a hand as she continued to loot. She was able to find a butterfly knife on the first guy. Looks like the blonde took him out before he could have used it. Bad for him, good for her.

"You really need a boyfriend." The man commented, walking off with cane in hand. "Hey! Maybe that guy's interested."

The butterfly knife found it's way close to his foot.

Three days later

Jaune was currently in detention for putting a kid in a standing armbar. The prankster thought it'd be funny to throw mashed potatoes at the back of his head. He wasn't laughing so much when the blonde retaliated by threatening to snap his arm in five different places. Instead of the usual sitting in class punishment, he was given the task of cleaning outside the school by picking up trash.

"Well look at this." A familiar flamboyant voice boomed in front of him.

Looking up from his punishment, Jaune saw Roman and Neo walking up to him with ice cream in their hands.

"Funny running into you here." The uncle smiled, waving his ice cream in the air. "And in community service? What happened? I thought you were a smart one not to get caught. Tsk, tsk my friend."

"It's detention." Jaune grunted, picking up a piece of paper Neo threw on the ground in front of him. "They mixed it up by having me pick up trash out here."

"What'd you do?" The man asked, genuinely curious. "Litter on school grounds?"

"Tried to break a kid's arm for throwing food at my head." The blonde mumbled, putting another wrapper Neo threw out of her pocket. "And can you stop doing that?"

All the silent girl did was shrug her shoulders with a tongue sticking out from her grin. Jaune was tempted to bite that ice cream in her hand. That'd show her.

"So someone messes with you, and you get punished for fighting back?" Roman huffed, putting both hands on his hips. Jaune wondered if he realized his ice cream had dropped. "What injustice. What's the world coming to when you're punished for fighting back? This town needs some real justice."

Somehow from there, Jaune found some camaraderie in the two. But it was also a turn in the wrong direction.

Five months later

Five figures with masks and visors ran through the streets with bags on their backs while cop sirens and fast cars drove in the streets. Running into alleyways and losing their chasers, the five regrouped into an abandoned boxing gym that was their secret hideout.

"Haha!" Roman laughed as he ducked into the abandoned building with Neo and Jaune close behind and two other girls with them. "Nice going kid. What I tell ya? Real justice."

So turns out Roman wanted to recruit Jaune for going against the White Fang. The group wasn't as deadly as the other town, but they made up for it in numbers and influence. It was becoming a thing where no citizen could walk out without seeing the gang's mark on the walls or a shop being owned by them. Not even the police could rein them all in.

"I have to admit." Jaune sniffed, taking off his mask after they were safe. "I'm enjoying myself a lot."

"Good to hear." The older man cheered, opening his sack to hand over a wad of cash. "Here's something for you. Think of it like an early birthday present since it's a couple days away. You'll be fifteen, right?"

"Yeah." The blonde smirked, pocketing the money and looking to the two girls with them. "I especially loved the tag you to did."

Melanie and Militiades Malachite. Two cute twins with a bone to pick with the gang. Apparently, the White Fang pissed them off in a very bad way and the two girls wanted satisfaction. And what better way than killing something that was so hard to build up?

"Nice to see our art is appreciated." The teen in red patted his head. "Not a lot of people appreciate our Banksy work."

"This town needed it anyways." The one in white nodded, shouldering a bag full of cash and paint.

"Hate to cut this bonding time short, but I need to bring these two home." The ginger man cut in, putting an arm on the twins. "Junior will be pissed if you two aren't home by then."

"Yeah, yeah." Melanie rolled her eyes, getting out of the older man's grasp. "Later guys."

"See ya some other time." Militiades waved, running to catch up. "Advanced happy birthday Jaune."

As the twins went off, Roman looked over to Neo and then Jaune. "I can trust you two to go home on your own, right?"

He got an eye roll from Neo and a lazy wave from Jaune in return.

"Just checking." And with that, Roman had left the two teens alone.

After the sounds of a car starting and driving away, the two sat in complete silence as they mulled over the day. Jaune helped beat up some thugs with Neo doing the same, the twins tagged the area to make it look like another rival gang did it, and Roman looted while covering their tracks. It was another perfect heist with the Fang possibly losing more reputation.

"I'm going to hit the showers, Neo." The blonde told the twintailed girl.

Stripping his shirt off, he didn't notice the short girl eyeing him or following him into the showers with a sway in her hips. On that night, Jaune got another birthday present.

A year later

Things between Jaune and Neo were something else. What happened in the showers wasn't a one time thing for either of them. But because of Neo's background and Jaune's need to keep up the ruse he was still a student, their relationship was put to night times and free weekends. It wasn't as lovey-dovey as the movies made it out to be, but that was more of on them. After all, they spent most of their time robbing and looting, sparring that would sometimes lead to gratuitous sex, and walking around town scoping White Fang joints while eating ice cream.

Besides their relationship, some other things had changed as well. The twins left them a few weeks prior since Junior had to set up shop far away from them. Before they left, they helped Neo get a new look. Now she didn't have her dark hair and twintails, but had her hair fall down behind her back with a pink and brown mix. They also gave her some colored contacts and a new outfit to accentuate the look. It made the silent girl's boyfriend think of Neapolitan ice cream.

So the group was now a trio, but it was okay. The White Fang were now deep in the red to the point the police could handle them. A few places were still holding strong, but the influence was just a mere ten people now.

"Justice served." Roman sighed, lighting a cigar while looking at the couple sparring. "And I helped make it happen."

Watching Jaune pick Neo up into a bear hug and throw her into the air with a laugh, the uncle couldn't be any more happier for his niece. They were played a crappy hand later on in life, and it got worse with the Fang coming into town. But then they got an idea, met good people, fought back, and here they were now. His niece was smiling and in love. The guy she was with was someone he grudgingly approved. He even taught the kid most of everything he knew. And they were rich, couldn't forget that part.

"Hey you lovebirds." He shouted to the two teens close to making out. "Let's head on out for ice cream."

This was a dream come true to all three of them. A dream that'd come down when the neighbors came knocking.

Current time

All things had to come to an end. Jaune's love story? It turned into a horror after he was pulled into van by the White Fang. Roman sold him out and took Neo with him along with all the money they stole. That's what he was told by the Fang while they were beating the shit out of him.

"So you ready to talk?" One of the thugs asked the blonde once more while lifting his head with the tip of the bat.

"Alright." Jaune groaned, feeling his jaw swelling up. "You got me all loosened up. I use this thing called vitamins. It helps me last longer natura-hgh!"

A grunt had kicked him in the gut for that. Just as he was about to smash his head with a bat, it was caught by his boss. A bulky man with a skull mask on and a chainsaw strapped to his back.

"Ouch." The bloody blonde groaned, taking a breath to numb the pain. "You… are one scary motherfucker. I think I'll call you… Banesaw."

"I'm gonna tear that mouth off your face so you never talk again." The chainsaw wielder snarled, revving the engine on his weapon.

"Before you do that, one more thing to say." The blonde muttered, pulling his hands out of the handcuffs. "Surprise!"

What happened next was a bloodbath as Jaune took his revenge and anger on them. The grunts were easy to take down, but it was the big man that proved hard. Then again, it became easy when he fought like his late girlfriend. Just aim for the groin and work up from there.

"P-please." The big man begged, watching helplessly with legs broken as his hostage tried to start his chainsaw. "Mercy!"

"I'm all out of mercy." Jaune muttered coldly finally getting the engine revved and walking towards the boss. That's when the doors burst open and guns were pointed at him.

"FREEZE!"

Timeskip: After Jaune moved back with his mom

"Thanks again for helping out with the delivery, Jaune." Blake said while pulling another crate full of books out of a truck. "I promise to give you a cut from my paycheck this week."

"No need." The blonde smiled, dragging a crate to the far back. "You needed help, so here I am."

"I still think it hacks that you're still strong without transforming." She mumbled, sliding a crate while he could easily lift them. "Maybe we should take a break now. Yang should be back with our snacks."

As the two sat for a few minutes, the other blonde returned to them bearing snacks and cool drinks.

"Sorry it took Xiao-Long." Yang punned, getting an eye roll out of the two. "I couldn't figure out what ice cream flavor you guys wanted, so I just got whatever."

"You got any green tea?" Blake asked, reaching into the bag to pull one out. "Nice. What flavor did you get for yourself Yang?"

"Choco-banana, duh." The blonde girl said while plopping next to them to get hers out. Sadly as she pulled out, her hand was a dragon head chewing on a cone. "Again?! Dangit Clip! I keep telling you not to do that!"

"Not my fault." The glove huffed while eating the chocolate bottom. "It was already in my mouth by then."

As host and symbiote argued once more, Blake turned to Jaune who was looking at his ice cream with a small smile.

"What did you get Jaune?" The dark haired teen asked, swatting her ribbon as it tried to take some of her snack.

"…Neapolitan." He smiled, taking a lick and remembering a time before he met them. "It's my favorite."

Savoring the flavor in his mouth, Jaune looked to his friends and thought of how he was before he met them. He still had nightmares from time to time, but they were more bearable than when he was behind cell bars. He wasn't as happy as he was with Neo or Roman, but…

"I swear you little shit." Yang snarled, biting her glove. "If I didn't love you like my very child I'd no sooner hang you to dry and forget about you."

"Help!" The glove cried in distress. "Child abuse! What do I dial for 911?"

'It's getting there.' The blonde male snickered, watching his fellow blonde fight with her glove.

End

AN: So we have a gangster thief Blake, and a delinquent Jaune. I tried reading one fic that Jaune was a year older than Blake. Dont know if that's true or not. And I didn't want to go over the nine to ten page for history, so I had to compile a lot of stuff I wrote on this. The initial one was twenty pages while Blake's was a whopping twenty-five. The next history will be Ruby and Yang. Expect a kid Ruby and tween Yang.

So if none of you got the connection between Blake's history and Jaune's then read Blake's once more. Jaune had a cameo mention in there.

In other news, I was thinking of writing a gaiden for each of their histories. Get more into detail of how Blake survived all her life before Ruby and friends took her in, see what made Jaune turn to delinquency, and Ruby and Yang's life before moving away from their moms and dad. It's just a thought, and I was wondering if you guys would be interested if I wrote it.

ANY- …erhhm.

The next chapter for Dustpoint will be coming up along with a surprise for Those Days fans and Arkos lovers. Hope you enjoyed. If you didn't, then that's your thing. And if you did, look forward to the next chapter.
