THE APPRENTICE

Jaune hated the cold. "AH!" The boy screamed as he fought to be heard. Jaune's ears rang as the shrill wind tore into him. The banshee-like howl of the blizzard screamed into his ears almost deafening him with its baleful howl. The boy was almost blinded, his blue eyes squinted shut, by the sheer force to the blizzard around him. The wind hurled ice particles at his face like miniature daggers that cut deeply into his flesh. Tearing out chunks of his own body as he screamed in pain.

"Just die!"
Jaune yelled at the top of his lungs as he twisted his arms, fighting through the pain, the hunger and the bone-chilling cold that sought to freeze him solid. Even though the hellish sea of what Jaune's eyes focused on the pair of glowing red eyes that cut through the wind like a hot knife, marking his target out clearly as he tossed his bomb killing the Ursa in one blow.

The monster died in a fiery ball or orange that popped like a second sun in the storm. Making a savage smile split the boy's face before exhaustion kicked in, forcing him back as Jaune fell to the ground. The harsh cold wind bit deep into his face cutting into his aura less skin making blood seep from his cheeks along with over a dozen other wounds on his body as he sighed. He was going to die, just like everybody else that volunteered for this mission.

To Jaune's left a shattered brown Gatling gun lay have frozen in the ice its own long gone, twenty feet to its left was a long staff that was cleaved in two, it's dead owner laying underneath it stuck down when the Grimm finally overran them. Their bodies now almost fully covered by the falling relentless snow. It was a fate that he would share soon enough but he would not share it alone. That was a fact he and Ruby were dead as dirt. His best friend was laid in his lap her small chest barely moving her skin pale as death her legs crushed like twigs and her normal knees were bent in horrible awkward angels that made his gut lurch-

"Of come on."
Jaune said as another Ursa appeared in the storm stalking over the ruined battlefield, it's massive black legs coated in white, crumpling the dead bodies of his friends beneath its feet. This was it... Jaune was going to die... his road ended hear... the path he set on all those years ago that took a scared frightened child away from his home and off to Beacon would end under the weight of a massive Grimm that would probably not even remember his face when it ate him. Fitting... Jaunt thoguht as the monster's thin beady red eyes found him as it reared up on its hind legs letting its mouth fall open as it roared making him sigh as he reached for his bandolier.

"Here's to you," Jaune said pulling the pin of his grenade hugging Ruby closer her deathly pale and cold as ice body pressed into his, as he ignored the tears streaming down his face that froze halfway down as the monster charged and he prepared to be warm.


Jaune was in an odd place. "Dumb parents! Dumb mom! What does she know about being a huntress!? I can do this myself!"

Jaune said as he moved in the dim still moonlight of his room. The moon was full and the shattered astral body light up his small room illuminating his midnight packing.

Jaune had had it! He was tired of his family's traditions! So what he was a guy? His dad was a hunter why couldn't he be one!? He was skilled; he was strong he just happened to be born a gender that whose social status was in direct opposition to his life's ambition.

He was supposed to play nice, be a good boy stay home, meet a sweet girl, give her several children and spend the rest of his life raising said, children, while she did whatever the hell a woman who married into the Arc clan did.

"To hell with that! I'm going to be great!"

Jaune said slamming his bag closed locking the sizeable brown suitcase shut, it was time. It was in the dead of night the day before his birthday. His family had spent the majority of the night before staying up with him, watching tv eating and overall planning his twelfth birthday party. A party that he would ironically never attend.

Jaune knew his family would be deep asleep and now was the perfect chance for him to run away! All he needed to do was escape the mansion, make it into the wilds spend the next few years of his life hunting Grimm and eventually attend Beacon academy! What could go wrong?

The boy thought as he lugged his suitcase full of all the essentials clothes, food, water, solar scroll charger the works. All he needed was a weapon.

"Well, I do have one of those."

Jaune said putting his bag over his shoulder as he snuck out of his room bidding it goodbye and hoping that he would never see it again. Or not until he was near death or married at the very least. The boy reasoned walking in the dark cold halls of his home.

Jaune shivered a low breeze crept its way up his back tickling his spine with thing ghostly like hands as he made his way down the long stone hallways of his home. Arc Manor was known for many things but being a welcoming place was not one. The large vast halls that seemed more in place in a palace in the daytime where long and tiring to walk on and at night? It was like a long tunnel leading to emptiness and oblivion. Shadows crept and danced along the walls, and a brisk chill filled his back making shivers ran down his spine someone had left a window open.

"It's just the wind nothing is out here."

Jaune said gripping his suitcase tighter, as he walked down the halls old suits of armor stared down at him as if they were judging his flight. The armor of his ancestors laid up on the walls to signify those who were Arc's and had fallen stared down at him with calm, impassive gazes.

Jaune doubted they approved, oh his decisions and to be perfectly honest Jaune didn't care.

"You didn't have my family to deal with."

Jaune hissed as he ran forward, his house was more akin to a medieval castle than anything else. Massive stone walls lined the outside, complete with towers bastions and hell there was even a damn drawbridge and a moat!

Jaune had no idea who the hell designed his home, but they sure had a flair for the dramatic he'd give them that much at least.

"Not sure why we needed the drawbridge thought that seems a bit excessive!"

Jaune hissed reaching the large crimson-carpeted spiral staircase running down the stairs and into the large living room that could fit a couple standard houses in it.

Jaune sprinted past the massive oak dining table ignoring the chairs still perfect put way and the streamers hanging down with the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jaune!

Written on them in bright, bold letters. His family despite all of their many faults caring was not one of them, they did care for him. Their love for Jaune was as clear as the sun was bright but it was not their love he wanted, Jaune wanted freedom, and to Jaune, that was all that mattered.

"Hello beautiful, you miss me?"

Jaune asked looking up at the shining pieces of metal that were his birthright more or less. Crocea Mors stood proudly in its case the master crafted sword and shield that was his one real hope of being a hunter.

After many, many long and uncountable hours of negotiations, begging, pleading and downright prostrating himself Jaune's mother Juniper had finally broken in and decided to let Jaune train to be a hunter but only so long as he learned the Arc way.

Juniper believed in honor, fighting in the Arc tradition of the sword and shield. She spent long, uncounted hours training Jaune to be a true Arcand after two years of training, it was clear that Jaune was not meant to use a sword.

"Two years later me and you still never saw eye to eye you know that?'

Jaune asked pulling up a chair standing up on it on shaky legs before slowly carefully taking out the small metal locks that he may or may not have stolen the key from his elder sister Saphire while he gave a back rub to distract her.

The weapon fell free, easily enough falling into his arms like a led weight pulling him down as Jaune frowned, his mother insisted that with enough practice his sword would grow on him acting like a second limb to is own.

So far it felt awkward like he had a third hand with a mind of its own that was acting in direct contradiction to his own mindset. As Jaune learned the hard way he was not a swordsman he was never meant to wield a sword, his fighting style was more subtle much to his mother's disapproval. The Arc matriarch did not approve of in her own words dishonorable combat and Jaune's preference for the less than scrupulous types of battle did not go unnoticed or unpunished. It was either use a sword or no hunter training to her. She said if an Arc could not use this sword than they could not be a hunter!

"Well, time to show you wrong."

Jaune said putting the sword back into its holder with a happy smile as he jumped off his chair springing out of his front gates as he left his home for the last time and left to become great.


Years later...

"Welcome to Beacon academy for huntresses and hunters. Please watch your step as you leave the bullhead. You are all the best and brightest of your peers, and I hope that you will all do well here."

A dull monotone voice said as Jaune smiled. He made it, five years after running away from home and not seeing hide nor tail of his family he was here Beacon!

"I made it; I really made it!"

Jaune thought pumping his fist as the craft touched down his stomach made a gurgling noise, but Jaune held it in. His tonic had not yet run its course and was currently successfully keeping his motion sickness at bay.

Motion sickness really! Who would have thought that he would have he would be stuck with that ailment of all things? Not that it mattered, Jaune had a small vial with a rich cerulean fluid in it to match his eyes that kept it down. One of his many personal concoctions that he had developed while honing his fighting style. It was a rare tonic for Jaune that did not impair, maim or downright kill. It was meant to heal not harm and was one of only three items that he had that could do such things.

As the boy left the craft, he felt his clothes sway the layers of thin leather that protected him swayed in the air making his descent into the world of hunters and Huntress a world he was almost denied access to.

"I'm going to show them; I'm going to be a hero!"

Jaune thought as he pumped his fist into the air as-

"Dust?"

Jaune paused as the unmistakable smell of raw dust filled the air, who the hell has dust just spilling out? And fire dust no less? Jaune paused as he turned his head and-

"Watch where you are going!"

A shrill voice screeched as Jaune turned his head to see what could only be described as a traffic accident with no cars as a red lolita in what he dearly hoped was cosplay crashed into a prissy girl in an all-white Atlas woman. The girl in blue was beautiful, sharp diamond eyes perfect snow-white hair-

"Look out!"

The red girl said crashing into them as-

"You dolt! How-

'NO!"

Jaune yelled as he saw the inevitable happen red sneezed and the two went up in flames...


"Why me? What did I ever do?"

Ruby asked whining her head still felt like it had been put through a brick wall and she swore she could see stars. Her clothes were a mess her hair was burned and her precious cap her mother had just! Finished cleaning before she left for Beacon was now in a five-foot crater along with her own.

"Impossible! You are the literal worst! I can't believe they let someone like you into Beacon!"

The mean girl said before stomping off in a pout.

"Yeah! Well, you to princess!"

"Actually it's heiress but that's irrelevant, she's just like that."

A calm voice said as a girl in black and white appeared glaring at the rich girl before walking off without so much as a glance leaving Ruby alone.

"Well first day of Beacon is off to a great start! Why didn't' mom just tell me I would be hated on day one?"

"You need some help?"

A calm voice asked that Ruby dimly thought of as masculine as she looked up, Ruby's blood went cold.

Ice water filled her veins as a terrible cry left her mouth as an abomination stood over her.

"MONSTER!"

Ruby shouted eeping out of the crater and slamming Crescent Rose into the ground in rifle mode ready to blast the walking monstrosity back to kingdom come!

"Monster!? Where!?"

The monster said as it looked around bending it's not normal knees. Twin lifeless lack eyes stared into Ruby, along with a mass avian nose that seemed to be as sharp as a dagger.

"You! You are the monster!"

Ruby shouted as the avian creature seemed to pause.

"Me? I'm not a monster! I'm Jaune Arc! Aspiring huntsman! Who are you?"

The monster asked it's odd bird snout giving a Grimm parroting of human speech.

"Don't trick me monster! I know you are a talking Grimm!"

"A talking Grimm!? What?! I'm not a talking Grimm!"

"That's just what a talking Grimm would say!"

"I'm not a talking Grimm!"

"Then why do you look like that!?"

"Like what?!"

"Like a monster!"

"This is how I always look!"

"What is on your face?!"

Ruby shouted aiming her rifle at the two-legged abomination before it gasped.

"My face, my face! I'm sorry!"

The monster yelled before reaching up thick gloved? Hands and ripping off its face revealing a-

"There we go! Much better! Sorry about the mask! Sometimes I forget I have it on!"

A calm human face with the richest pair of cerulean eyes Ruby had ever seen shone back into her.

"Name's Jaune Arc! Nice to meet you!"

The former monster now revealed to be one, not a monster but a masked human and worse a boy said as ruby groaned as her day went from bad to terrible.


"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! Please forgive me!"

Ruby said blurting out her apologies to the boy at full auto rapidly bowing her head, her cheeks redder than her cape as she mentally berated herself.

"Why!? Why!? Why!? Stupid! Stupid! Bad Ruby! Bad! You not only pissed off a rich girl you just insulted a boy! A boy!? You called him a monster!? Mom would have bent me over for even thinking that!"

The girl though sweat falling from her face as she bowed her head to the boy.

"I'm sorry! Please-

"Whoa! Calm down, Ruby! It's ok! It's my fault I should have known to take the mask off. I forget it's on me most of the time! Really if anyone is at fault, it's me!"

Jaune said with an easy smile his now very smooth fully human face with deep cerulean blue eyes that sparkled in the sunlight reminding Ruby of the crystal clear ocean waters of her home. And his hair! It was a short messy mop of yellow presses down in his mask that reminded Ruby of the sun itself.

"I'm sorry!"

Ruby said for the umpteenth time as Jaune let out a rich laugh as he smirked at her.

"Ruby it's ok! I get that reaction from almost everyone when I first meet them!"

Jaune said tucking his bird mask under his arm; the boy was dressed in what could only be described as layers. Jaune was dressed head to toe in layer after layer of what looked like thick dark red leather armor. The armor wrapped around his body covering it in patches of defense that looked mobile but not weak.

Jaune also had several vials, full of multi-colored liquids one a rich blue like his eyes another a sharp bright green like grass, and another a golden yellow color along with other pouches tucked away in the many, many pockets, nooks and crannies of his outfits. Where long lines of several brown circle satchels that hung like small brown bags on his armor.

"Ruby take a breather! You are fine, look I'm sorry, let's start over ok? Jaune Arc! Nice to meet you!"

The boy said holding out his many-layered hands covered in a thick dark red glove that looked like it was meant to take on an Ursa jaw. As the boy the cute older boy held out his hand Ruby felt her body heat up as her palm shot out.

"Ruby! Ruby Rose! Short, sweet rolls off the tongue and the boys love it!"

Ruby said taking Jaune's hand shooting off a pair of finger guns her brain defaulting to Yang grade flirting as she smiled in an uncomfortably wide grin that made Jaune blink owlishly.

"Do they?"

Jaune asked as Ruby felt a knife stab her heart.

"I... I hope so... do you love it?"

"I... I don't hate it? It that makes it better."

Jaune admitted making Ruby lower her shoulder an even brighter blush on her face.

"Sorry, I'm not so good with people you know?"

"Totally. I'm not great with people either."

Jaune said making Ruby's eye's flash up with hope; maybe this older boy was just as socially awkward as her! Perhaps they could be on a team together? Maybe even partners and if she was lucky maybe something more than just friends."

Ruby reasoned cheeks heating up and her normal knees bending awkwardly.

"Yeah but I'm terrible at them! I mean I'm not great at anything really."

Ruby said in a self-deprecating tone as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

"What? Don't say that! You got that cool custom scythe with that custom sniper mod in it! That's cool! I can tell you built it yourself! That's a handjob it I've ever seen one!"

Jaune said winking loudly making Ruby's cheeks flush in more ways that one was he obviously delivered a double entendre making Ruby gag.

"What?! How did you know?"

Ruby asked fighting down the very, very treacherous image of Jaune naked on her bed in Patch laying on his back blush as Ruby perched over him like a Beowulf stalking its prey with her hand stroking his long hard-

"I can tell! I don't like to brag but I know a thing or two about weapons! My older sister Bleu was a real gun nut, and I know a high-quality firearm when I see one! Nice touch with the gun what's it fire? Point fifty?"

"Seventy! Actually, the caliber is seventy; my Uncle decided to up it from a fifty when I had trouble killing an Ursa major when I was a kid! With this thing, you can put down a Deathstalker at half a mile out!"

Ruby said proudly smiling ear to ear grateful that she could finally have a talk with a boy for more than thirty seconds without becoming an awkward stuttering mess.

"Really? I hope we don't have to fight one, I've seen one before, and let me tell you they are not pretty."

Jaune said rubbing the top of the leather hood that covered his head protecting the top of his skull with his free hand that was not holding his mask.

"You fought a Deathstalker?! Really!?"

Ruby asked eyes shining like gems.

"Sure did! I killed it too! Took me a while, my weapons are not meant for big enemies like that. I'm more of taking you down over time not bursting down a monster in one blow you know?"

Jaune spoke the magic words as Ruby began to squeal.

"Really!? Weapons! What kind do you use? I bet you use some super awesome gun! Or a gun lance hybrid! Or some type of energy shield with a power sword!

Ruby said practically bouncing up, and down as Jaune smiled.

"My weapons are right here."

Jaune said gesturing to the many, many brown leather pouches that hung freely on his leather armor. Held up by thin lines of string and swayed in the air.

"What are they?"

Ruby asked bending forward as the slightly shorter than her boy how she barely edged out on height by about two to three inches smirked.

"Bombs."

Jaune said with a firm smile as Ruby gasped.

"You fight with bombs!? Cool! What type!?"
"Dust."
"Dus bombs!? Cools! What kind of dust do you use!? Fire, Ice-

"Acid."

Jaune replied with a hiss making Ruby's child in a candy store glare only shoot up.

"Acid!? You have acid bombs? Cool! Where do you buy them!? Maybe I can use them for my bullets!"

"Ruby! I'm surprised at you! I don't buy my weapons! I make them myself!"

Jaune said with a smug look making Ruby smile.

"I see you are also a hunter of culture and class as well."

Ruby said bowing to her fellow hunter and now official Beacon BFF Jaune Arc who grinned wolfishly.

"Now if you want to I can check out your gun later on! I can look at your rounds and maybe! Just maybe add some acid rounds into your ammo!"

"Really!? Jaune you are the best! Oh! What kind of acid do you use?"

Ruby asked practically chomping at the bit at the sheer luck of meeting a cute boy who likes weapons just as much as she did! Her and Jaune were a match made in heaven and Beacon were finally looking like a blessing and not a curse for once!

"I use a special kind of degraded Atlas dust. It's a special kind of caustic dust I get from modifying several other Atlas dust types. I make it by hand, and I mix it myself! As I should."

"As you should."

Ruby parroted nodding her head easily as the two new best friends walked into Beacon together.


"So it's me! Yang, my dad my mom Summer! My other mom Raven! My uncles sometimes when he's not drinking or hunting and my dog Zwei!"

Ruby said giving her the rundown of her whole family that her treacherous sister Yang had only recently earned her way back into.

"What about you? Do you have any family?"

Ruby asked grimacing, of course, he had a family! He had to have been born that meant mother and father and he was dressed well so he was either looking out for himself very well or he was living with family or relatives if not close friends.

"I have a mom a dad and seven sisters!"

"Seven?"

Jaune said as Ruby almost fainted at the image of seven Yang's filled her head.

"I'd never get to use the bathroom!"

Ruby thought moaning internally while Jaune smirked.

"Where do they live Jaune?"

"Oh! They live in Ansel! Small town north-west of Vale I think."

"You think? You don't know where your family lives?"

Ruby asked giggling at her BFF's and hopefully! Future boyfriends lack of memory.

"Not really... I haven't seen them in like what, five years?"

Jaune asked scratching his head as Ruby froze.

"You mean you have not seen them face to face right?"

"No. I just haven't seen them in five years. I have no idea where the hell they are right now to be fair.'

Jaune said shrugging as Ruby gagged.

"Why not?! Where you kidnapped!? Are they kidnapped?! Do I need to call my moms?!"

"What no! I ran away from home five years ago! "

"You... you ran away? Why would you do something like that?"

Ruby asked a low hurt tone in her voice as Jaune sighed.

"For my dream."

"Your dream?"

"Yeah, they didn't want me to be a hunter, so I ran. I followed my dream no matter what."

Jaune said as Ruby sighed.

"You should call them Jaune. I... I know I would be worried about you I mean look! You already made to Beacon! They can't say anything but positives right?"

"Ruby... I left my family on bad terms... I don't want to talk to any one of them again period."

Jaune said as a frown fell on his face as Ruby instantly put a hand on his shoulder.

"Jaune... I don't know what happened to your family-

"You are right you don't."

Jaune said with an edge in his voice as Ruby wilted making him grimace.

"Sorry! Sorry! I... I just had a bad time I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that."

"I... did they abuse you? Did they hit you?'

Ruby asked a worried tone in her voice making Jaune couch violently.

"What? No! They loved me but..."

"But?"

"I didn't want their love, I wanted freedom, and I took it."

Jaune said firmly making Ruby frown.

"Jaune if I left my family they would panic."

"And I would be dragged back through a red portal and spanked till I could not sit for a year."

"You shouldn't leave them... especially if they love you."

"I... can we talk about something else Ruby? Please?"

"Sure. We are in the auditorium anyways let's go."

Ruby said making Jaune smiled as they walked into a large amphitheater where a large crowd was gathering.

"There are a lot of people here."

Jaune said as he and Ruby walked into the large room ignoring the mainly female audience as-

"Ruby! Ruby!"

"Oh, that's Yang! I got to go! Find me after this Jaune! Let's talk!"

Ruby said zipping off to greet and berate a large seven-foot blonde woman with a mane of yellow that reminded him far too much of his home who was drop-dead gorgeous and whose luscious body captivated Jaune's gaze bee her turned up to the stage where an elder woman in an all green was standing in front of them.

"Students."

The elder woman began as she addressed the crowd at once.

" I know you have traveled far and long to get here today and for that, I say thank you. You will all train to be huntresses and hunters of tomorrow, and I hope you will do us proud. Your first step is tomorrow, and most of you will not survive. You will sleep in the common room tonight that is all.'

The woman said in what had to be the worst motivational speech ever.

As the students shuffled out awkwardly, a loud voice called out.

"Great speech there! Real inspiring! I almost don't want to die!"

The blonde bombshell said sarcastically flipping her long luscious locks rolling her beautiful lilac eyes as she turned to face him Ruby pulled on her arm point to Jaune as the young woman gained a smirk.

She sauntered over to Jaune with a cocky gait to her walk, smiling like an alpha predator while Ruby pulling her by her arm with a steady walk and a natural sway to her wide hips.

The woman was a knock out beauty, and Jaune grinned as she approached.

"Yang! This is Jaune! he's my new best friend!"

Ruby said happily her silver eyes widening in excitement as Yang gained a wolfish look in her eyes.

"Hey, there good looking! You look like you need something tall blonde and plump in your life! Name's Yang Xiao-long cutey. Remember it I might be making you scream it later on."

Yang said closing the gap to Jaune tossing all notions of personal space to the side as Jaune smirked.

"Hey, there Xiao-Long. You look like you want to Yang."

Jaune said not backing down as the woman gained a playful smirk to her lips.

THUD!

Yang slammed a hand on the wall smashing the space right by his ear nearly crushing his head as she took on a dominant pose giving him a clear view of her ample cleavage that only made Jaune smile.

"See something you like Goldilocks?"

Yang asked flirtatious s Jaune nodded.

"I see a few things that I like you?"

"I see something short blonde and scrumptious. And my eyes are up here by the way."

Yang said pointing to her smirking balls of lilac that Jaune easily ignored for the more obvious mounds of her chest.

"I know, but I'm not looking at you eyes now am I?'

Jaune asked shooting Yang a cocky smile that made her already wolfish grin became downright predatory.

"Well look it here! Somebody is confident! Careful Jaune you might not want to bite off more than you can chew."

Yang said as Jaune felt it a knee was suddenly in-between his legs nuzzling his crotch as Yang forced herself to him making him take a deep lung full of fragrant shampoo that smelled of fruit and softner.

"Like what you smell Goldilocks? I use that perfume especially for cute boys like you."

"I like what I'm feeling more than that."

Jaune said putting a hand on Yang's side where Yang's eyes glowed orange.

"Careful Jaune I bite."

Yang said her voice burning his face as she pushed her forehead to him, closing the gap between then making the distance between thier lips less than an inch.

"Good. I like it when a girl bites."

"You can't handle my bite."

"Kiss me and find out."

Jaune winked at Yang causing her to stutter and flush. Her cheeks briefly became redder than Ruby's cape as Jaune smiled.

"What wrong Yang, Xiao-Long can't go on?"

Jaune asked grinding his legs forward moving closer to Yang's cute flustered face before she righted herself.

"Careful goldilocks, you don't even know me. What if I don't' want to just kiss you and find out?"

"Then fuck me and do it anyways. I'm willing."

Jaune said opening his arms as he was greeted by Yang's flustered face for a second time that day as-

"AH!"

Jaune gasped as Yang's arm shot out choking him lifting him up on the was as her lips were now mere centimeters away from his own thin bee-stung lips.

"You don't know the things that I'm going to do to you. They are going to make up terms for the shouts that you are about to yelp!"

"I can guess! Just so you know my safe word is artichoke!"

Jaune gagged as Yang's grin grew to full alpha predator proportions as she licked her lip.

"I'm going to make you call me mommy."

Yang growled reaching out for Jaune's waistline and-

"YANG! Stop bullying Jaune!"

Ruby yelled snapping Yang out of her lust field fog making her panic.

"FUCK! I pinned a boy to the wall? Shit! Shit! If mom sees me-

'Don't worry Rubes! It was all in good fun besides! I might just want to Yang your sister after all."

Jaune said sliding off of Yang's grip his leather armor making it easier as he slithered off her winking at her.

"Any time you want Yang. Or are you just a girl who is all bark no bite? All fizzle and no heat."

Jaune hissed as Yang growled.

"You are going to regret teasing me."

"Only if you don't make me scream."

"You are mine."

Yang said walking over and latching onto Jaune's arm like an industrial clamp.

"Well, then I hope you make me shout."

Jaune said falling into Yang's grip as she smirked,

"I'm going to make you scream."

"I'm counting on it."

Jaune said as Yang led him off leaving a panicking Ruby behind. Ruby was in COMPLETE meltdown mood right now as she bit her fingernails rapidly.

"No. No, NO! NO! NO! NO! This can't be happening!"

Ruby thought panic filling her heart as she trailed her sister and BFF.

This always happened. Ruby met a boy; Yang saw the boy Yag stole said, boy.

"Why!? Why me?! He was my friend! He likes guns, bombs and is socially awkward! You can't have him!"

"Jaune!"

"Ruby? What's up?"

"Later on this week! let's go out!"

"Go out? Go where?"

Jaune asked as Yang flashed her sist a deadly look as her eyes turned crimson.

"Like out! Me and you! Together alone."

Ruby said glaring at Yang who looked ready to growl-

"Sure! That sounds fun."

Jaune said as Ruby jumped as yang grimaced at her treacherous sibling.

"It's a date!"

Ruby said as Yang looked ready to burn-

"Sure why not! You are cute Ruby."

Jaune said ruffling the young girl's hair with a gloved hand.

"Hey!"

"You are like a little sister I never had!"

Jaune said as Ruby's face fell and Yang held back a chortle.

"That's my Ruby alright! She's such a kid!"

Yang said empathizing the world as Ruby's heart sank.

What was she thinking? Competing with Yang? She should have known better...

"Yeah! I'm a kid..."

Ruby said as Yang pulled Jaune off frowning.

"Sorry, sis no favorites in love or war. I'll but you some cookies to make up for it ok?"

Yang thought sadly before the delicious blonde boy that had lips that would soon grace her more private regions pulled her onward.


After the lackluster speech, Yang Jaune and Ruby set up camp so to speak Yang guarding Jaune like he was the holy grail especially after she saw an emerald-eyed redhead glaring at him like he was meat.

Jaune was not meat, and even if he was meat he was Yang's meat and-

"Yang... the girl didn't like me."

Ruby said despondently as the amber eyes future friend! Or so Yang had shot down her baby sister's attempt at friendship. Brushing Ruby off after a brief and hilariously one-sided conversation leading to her sister's downtrodden look on her face.

"Sorry, Rubes! Tough break, you'll get her next time k?"

"K."

Ruby said while Jaune eyed the girl. She was tall even for a woman, with piercing amber eyes and jet black hair wrapped in a pink yukata with a bow? On her ears that must have been uncomfortable for her.

"That bow must hurt I wonder why she wears it?"

"Because it looks cute?"

Yang asked making Jaune shake his head.

"No... I... Nevermind it's none of my business anyway. Good night."

Jaune said rolling up in a blue sleeping bag as Yang and Ruby both bid him good night as the three turned in and went to bed.


"Hello, new friend! How are you!? My name is Nora! Nora Valkyrie! And this here is Ren! Say hi Ren!"

A tall, loud insanely muscled ginger girl said as she dragged around a thin boy with long black hair and a pink stripe in it who merely nodded to Jaune.

"Hello." The boy said not seeming to mind being dragged around like a keychain as the tall impossibly muscled ginger plopped him down on the table.

"Yo! Jaune Arc nice to meet you."

Jaune greeted and-

"Oh my gosh! You are a boy!" Ginger said as Jaune nodded.

"Sure am! Or I still was last time I checked." Jaune said looking down to his crotch as the ginger practically giggled with joy.

"You are a boy! You know what that means!?"

"That I pee standing up?"

"No silly! It means that you and Ren can be friends! He needs a guy friend! Ren is to shy to talk on his own! That settle is Jaune! You are now Ren's best friend forever!"

"I... what? why?"
"Why!? Simple! You're a guy! He's a guy! You two have practically everything in common so why not cut to the chase and be my Renny's best friend forever huh!?"

"Please. Just let her have this."

Ren begged as Jaune nodded as the woman Nora began to give a speech on how they grow up so fast as his first Beacon breakfast began.


"Ladies! Name's Jaune Arc! How are you?"

Jaune asked walking into the Beacon locker room where an absolutely stunning pair of the female species awaited him and much to his delight looked at him with mild interest. There was the blue girl from yesterday the princess and a literal Amazon redhead who looked like she could bench press him for fun.

"Weiss Schnee, a pleasure. And did you say Arc?"

The beautiful blue girl from the other day asked bowing to Jaune giving him a light curtsey almost making her off-kilter tiara fall to the floor.

"Sure did! How are you, Weiss?"

Jaune asked the taller girl shaking her hand with a small smile.

"Tired I had a rough day yesterday."

"I saw! Fire dust right? It's so flammable to the slightest of things!"

"You know about dust?"

Weiss asked her interests piqued at a cute Arc? Male who she thought was either dead missing or-

"Sure do! My weapons use dust, so I need to know!"

Jaune said smirking as-

"Your weapons use dust? Pray tell how? I do not see any weapons on you, is it your semblance?"

The literal goddess on Remnant the tall bronze Amazon asked as Jaune gulped.

"Nope! See these sacks on my chest? These babies are my weapons tall read and beautiful!"

Jaune said as the woman chuckled at the bold man's antics bashing his flirts way with a natural hand.

"What your satchels? Excuse me, but they do not look very intimidating."

"Hah! That's cause you don't know them! They are actually acid bombs!"

Jaune said as both girls took a step back, giving each other a nervous look before Weiss continued.

"You carry bombs on your chest? Is that wise?"

Weiss asked eying Jaune warily as he nodded his head.

"Sure is! I'm great at dust study! I just have trouble getting them. I'm thinking of getting a part-time job in Beacon to afford it you know?"

"You plan to work while you are in Beacon? What about your studies?"

"Nah! It's fine tall and beautiful! Have I called you gorgeous because you are."

"You did thank you, and you are... appetizing."

The girl said licking her lips and purring at Jaune.

"Jaune you keep calling her red, do you not know who she is?"

"Beautiful what else is there?"

"Jaune! That is Pyrrha Nikos!"

Weiss yelled making Jaune smile.

"Hey Pyrrha glad to meet you!"

Jaune said once again holding out his hand which Pyrrha took with a small giggle. Her insanley muscled hand almost crushing his gloved one as Jaune grimaced in pain.

"Likewise, I do hope we end up on a team together Jaune. I would not like to let such a fine meal escape."

Pyrrha growled making Jaune blush.

"How do you not know about Pyrrha!? Where you homeless?"

"For five years I was why?"

Jaune asked in a deadpan voice as Weiss looked like a doll with its strings cut as she gagged coughed and stutter as a fierce blush crossed her cheeks.

"I'm sorry! I... I didn't mean that! Please, forgive me! I have some dust-

"It's fine Weiss. I ran away from home five years ago I'm not mad."

"You ran away? Why?"

"Long story Pyr! But I think it's time for us to go."

Jaune said as an announcement rang calling them to the Beacon cliffs.

"I hope we are all on a team together, Pyrrha with your skills and Jaune with your... unorthodox it is sure to put our foes on their toes! And with VYTAL coming up I think we could make a good team what do you think?"

"I'm fine. Pyrrha?"

"I... I was planning to let the chips fall where they may."

She said as the announcer came on again.

"Come on guys! We won't' get famous staying here!"

Jaune said as the young women smiled and the cocky young boy as they led him out.


"The first one you see will be your partner for the next four years."

"WHAT!?'

Ruby popped as Opal spoke up and-

Thud!

Ruby yelled as she was flung out over the clearing as=

Thud!

Thud!

More thuds as students were tossed one by one as Yang put on a pair of aviators giving Jaune a wink as she smiled.

"Ok! I got this!"

Jaune yelled as he was flung off the cliff into the great beyond as the Beacon initiation began.

As the students flew into the air, Opal was busy sipping her steaming mug and counting down the seconds as her second Glynda looked over the names of the charges.

"Any second now."

Opal thought as she waited for it to occur.

"Rose, Nikos, Schnee."

"Any second she's going to see it."

Opal thought sipping her mug as Glynda counted.

"Valkyrie, Xiao-long Belladonna."

"Come on."

"Arc?"

The woman gave a shrill scream as Opal smiled.

"There we go."

Opal thought as-

"Opal! Jaune! He is here"!

Her second yelled as Opal sipped her mug.

"I know that I read the transcript."

"Opal!? That is Juniper's Son! He is in danger!"

Glynda yelled flashing out her crop only for Opal's cane to flash out and knock it aside in a smooth motion.

"What are you doing!?"

"Jaune Arc is a qualified hunter. You will not interfere in his initiation."

"He is a runaway! He-

"He is an adult, and he can make his own decisions."

"Opal! Catherine will hear of this!"

"She is your second; I would expect nothing less."

"Opal! He-

"He is an adult and before you ask yes I know of your personal relationship with Mister Ar cGlynda. You will not interfere."

"I... Yes, Mam."

The dean said frowning as her nephew who she thought dead was flung into the air only for a spear at pice his odd leather armor mid-air and impale him into a tree...


"Hello! Someone! Please! Help!"

Jaune said as he hung freely from a large tree, in the middle of the forest, a spear held him held captive to a large tree pinning him in place saving him from falling to death but also not allowing him to move anywhere. The only hint of its owner as loud SORRY! From afar and-

"Weiss! Wait!"

"NO!"

"Weiss! Please!"

"You are not my partner!"

"Weiss! Look at me!"

"NO! I refuse to have a partner so childish!"

The voice of-

"Weiss! Help!"

Jaune said as the heiress stepped out eyes sealed shut as she looked to see Jaune and smiled

"Weiss-

"There! Jaune is my partner now! So get!" Weiss yelled as a panting Ruby came out of the clearing her cheeks puffy and silver eyes filled with tears.

"Weiss you big meanie! I hate you!"

Ruby said running away in a blur of rose petals leaving the two behind as Weiss sighed.

"Jaune do you need help coming down?"

"Yes please."

"One second let me help you."

Weiss said summoning several glyphs from her sword taking her time to free her partner making sure he was safe as Jaune was gently taken down.

"Thanks, partner! I thought I was stuck."

"You are welcome now let's go before-

Weiss froze as five Grimm came into the clearing. Basic Beowulf types as she drew her sword.

"Let's fight!"

Jaune said as Weiss paused she was curious to just how Jaune fought with his acid bombs and wanted to see just what her partner was capable of.

Her answer came soon enough as Jaune pulled back the string on a satchel picking it up and hurling it at a Grimm.

FISHT!

The case exploded as Weiss gagged. The Grimm howled, it shrieked agony as its body glowed green. The monster cried as it's fur began to liquor, skin peeled off of flesh to reveal the bloody muscles underneath it as-

FISHT!

Another sack of acid hit the monster's falling form making the monster roar it fell howling braying green caustic dust eating into its flesh. Dissolving musculature and melting its bones down into what Weiss could only describe as green goop.

The Grimm was dissolved into a messy bubbling hissing pile of sickly green liquid that popped and fizzled producing an awful smell that made Weiss want to gag and vomit.

The other four growled in defiance only for another two sacks of caustic grenades crashed into them. The Grimm momentarily shocked by the brutal demise of their comrade screeched in agony as the acid grenades landed dead on their snouts.

Her partner tossed his bombs in perfect long arcs that crashed into them immobilizing them as the others shot out. Weiss wasted no time drawing her weapon and lashing out in a blur of silver and white. Twin glyphs rising propelling her forward.

Her sword pierced the heart of one Beowulf killing it instantly before Weiss yanked her weapon out jamming it into the eye socket of the other killing it in an instant.

As the monster fell, the other two gave out one last agonized cry as Jaune laned two more expertly timed grenade attacks melting them into messy green liquid as Weiss shuddered. Even Grimm didn't deserve that, being turned into a gooey green goop, that fizzled and popped! In a disturbing manner.

"We get 'em, partner! We just did our first team attack! Yeah!"

Jaune said pumping his fits into the sky the short boy's enthusiasm was infectious and Weiss smiled a bit despite the disquieting sight in front of her.

"Yes, I suppose we did. You did well Jaune your fighting style is a bit... unorthodox but I admit it is effective, and you appear more than proficient with it. I am glad to have you as my partner."

Weiss said slightly bowing to the boy who grinned ear to ear.

"Same here! No one better than you for my partner!"

Jaune said shaking Weiss's hand as the heiress had a feeling that despite her earlier misgiving everything was going to work out.


"Why is she so mean!?"

Ruby thought tears in her eyes as she ran through the forest. Weiss rejected her! She dismissed her! Ruby had only wanted to help! She was just looking for a partner, but Weiss not only said no she took Jaune!

"First Yang now Weiss!? Why is my luck so bad?!"

Ruby though running through the forest in a blur of rose petals and-

"AH!"

Whack!

Ruby cried out as she ran into some soft but firm as she tumbled on the ground an angry hiss filled the air as a pair of amber eyes glared down balefully at her.

"Hey, there partner!"

Ruby said with a fake charm and a nervous laugh that rang hollow and dull as Blake sighed as a new headache came into her world.

Weiss was mixed, on the one hand, she had found a partner that was competent, smart and useful. On the other hand, she had found a partner with what might have been one of the most unorthodox and if she was, to be honest downright disturbing fighting styles that she had no idea how to work with.

Seriously! She just had to find the partner with the bombardier fetish! Jaune's weapons if you were generous were little more than thinly sewn together with a needle and thread mind you sacks of broken down altered dust that was taken from its default state and made highly agitated and consequently very caustic.

It was acidic to such a ludicrous of a degree and caustic the point even an Ursa would melt into an unidentifiable pile of green goop if put under sustained bombardment from one.

The acid in his bombs peeled the flesh from muscle and turned muscles into goop and bones into green drool as it turned whatever it hit into soup.

Disturbing as they were, Jaune knew his weapons well and so far had not once overestimated the exact amount of hits needed to liquify a Grimm.

"Jaune may I ask you a question?"

Weiss asked removing her rapier from the chest of a now dead Beowulf looked over to her partner putting the finish touches on a melting Ursa.

"Sure think partner! Ask away!"

"You seem very proficient with your weapons. How did you learn to fight with them? If you don't mind me asking."

"I had to learn Weiss! I was in the wilds for half a decade! If I could not defend myself, I would die!"

"So you are that Jaune Arc, the supposed dead male to the Arc clan."

Weiss stated cleaning the blood from her weapon with a flick making Jaune freeze.

"Yeah that's me... is that a problem?"

Jaune asked a nervous smile on his face as Weiss shook her head.

"Not necessarily but I must ask why run away? Your family spent years searching for you; your mother fought when the authorities ruled you dead."

"I... I can't go back."

"Why not? Your family loves you... I wish I could say the same for me."

Weiss said a hint of regret in her tone as she and Jaune walked into the forest the spear that had impaled Jaune now strapped to his back.

"Why not? Your family loves you, what is stopping you?"

"Me."

"You?"

"My dream is to be a hunter Weiss. I couldn't do that with them. So I left. It's not that I don't love them. I just wanted freedom you know?"

"More than you know."

Weiss admitted in a low tone as she and Jaune walked through the forest in a quiet, comfy silence and-

"Whoa!"

Jaune gasped as his captured spear glowed black before freeing itself from his back and flying off into a row of trees.

"Did you do that?"

Weiss asked sword out as Jaune shook his head.

"Sure didn't."

Jaune admitted as he drew a satchel bomb and-

"Yang?"

Jaune asked surprised as Yang burst out of the clearing as Weiss and Jaune lowered their weapons as a familiar redhead followed her.

"Goldilocks! That's where you went! Here's P-money by the way, say hi girl"!

Yang said as Pyrrha nodded.

"It is nice to see you again."

Pyrrha said bowing slightly as she held up her spear.

"Thank you for taking care of this for me."

"No problem I always take care of weapons."

"You sure? Cause it looks like you got a dagger in your jeans."

Yang said walking up to Jaune planting a firm hand on his chest and-

"Back up now."

Yang paused as something long, cold and sharp was pressed to her throat.

"Easy there ice queen! Don't have a fit!"

Yang said as Weiss poked her in her jugular with her sword.

"Remove your hands from my partner's chest this instant."

Weiss growled blue eyes glaring death into Yang.

"He wants this you know?"

"I do not remember you having that talk with him, now remove yourself from his space."

"And if I don't?"

"Then I will move you by force if necessary."

Weiss said eyes narrowing.

"Try it princess let's see-

"DOWN!"

Jaune yelled as he tackled both girls down as a massive golden stinger suddenly crashed down from the tree line as a massive roar filled the air.

"Deathstalker!"

Jaune yelled as the large scorpion monster crashed through the forest knocking aside trees as if they were paper mache. The massive monster bullied its way into the clearing letting out a deafening roar that made the teens wince in pain.
"See Pyr! I told you it would follow us!"
" How was I supposed to know that!?"

"I want its head!"

Jaune yelled as he ran!? Jaune shouted as he drew a satchel and sprinted right at the monster satchel in hand-

"Jaune wait!" Weiss yelled as her partner charged forward satchel out as the monster roared in defiance.

"Hell yeah Goldilocks! That's the spirit let's kick some ass!"

Yang yelled rocketing herself forward gauntlets firing propelling her at the monster in a ball of flame as Pyrrha began to snipe the beast.

The three engaged in a brutal clash with it. Jaune blinded it with his bombs while Yang got into a literal punch out with it. Her fists striking it dead on and somehow blocking the monsters massive claws with her fist.

"She's strong."

Weiss gasped as the blonde potential friend got into a fistfight with the damn Deathstalker and won as Pyrrha sniped it. The three of them dueled the monster for a brief time but failed to do any real damage to is before Weiss shook her head, snapping out of her daydream as she assessed the situation.

"We need a plan of attack!"

"I have a plan, attack!"

Jaune yelled dodging claw strike after claw strike, moving with a grace and fluidity Weiss would expect from a trained dancer. Expertly avoiding the monsters attacks stepping in and around the massive claws like it was no issue all the while tossing bomb after bomb onto its eyes. Blending them making it scream roaring up on its hind legs claws flailing wilding while Yang brawled with it.

"Come on you big sack of shit! Show me what you got!"

Yang yelled eyes burning as she punched out the claws one stinger only for Jaune's luck to come to an end as Weiss saw it happen.

He overstepped one jump as he tossed a satchel the earth gave way under his foot causing him to lose his balance for a precious second allowing a claw to slam down crashing him into the floor with a messy whack!

"Jaune?!"

"I'm ok!"

Jaune yelled as soon as the claw left his aura glowing as his body glowed blue? As Jaune began to blur, he was sprinting, dodging, twirling and reacting far faster than usual and-

"His semblance?"

Weiss thought as Jaune blurred up his body glowing blue a low blue covering his thick leather armor as he ran back into the fight as Weiss shook her head.

Semblance or not the monster was threatening her partner, either way; this thing had to die.

"Jaune!"

"Yes, partner?!"

"The tail! Hit's it tip with everything you got!"

"On it!"

Jaune yelled tossing three satchels in a perfect high arc slamming them into the monster's tail making it howl in anger as the caustic dust began to eat into it. Weakening the appendage and making it shudder.

"Pyrrha! Cut it off!"

Weiss shouted seeing the vulnerability hoping the Spartan would see her play and cheering internally as Pyrrha nodded her head.

"On it!"

She yelled turning her weapon into a spear chucking it and cutting off the tail.

"Yang!"

"On it!"

Yang yelled jumping up propelling herself up in mid-air like a fiery comet before reaching the apex of her arc grinning wickedly cocking back her fist only for her to fall like a flaming meteor to punch the things stinger clean through ti's back severing its spine and killing it instantly.

The monster roared once before falling on its limbs yang backflipping off it winking at the monster shooting it a pair of finger guns as Weiss sighed her partner falling back to her side legs bent int a combat stance blue eyes glaring at the dissolving monster.

"Are you alright? That blow looked hard."

Weiss asked her partner her worry falling with the threat.

"Yeah, I'm fine my semblance saved me."

Jaune said relaxing not putting away his bomb as Weiss cock her eyebrow at him.

"Semblance? What is your semblance? If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh, I take less damage from attacks, and when I get hit, I also get faster the more I get hit."

Jaune said smirking as Yang high fived Pyrrha.

"Do you know her Jaune? If not just tell me and I'll toss her into a tree the next time she looks at you."

Weiss said fixing Yang a deadly glare that Jaune waved off.

"I know her, she's a friend so take it easy on her ok?"

"If you say so, you can't be too lax with women Jaune, even if she is your friend. Don't let her take advantage of you ok?"

"Hey don't worry about me Weiss, I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself you know?"

"I have no doubts but still. If she bothers you tell me I'll be sure to cool her jets."

Weiss said an amused smirk on her face as Jaune laughed.

"Did you just make a pun?"

"Maybe."

"I liked it."

"It was good."

Weiss said as she and Jaune smiled as their new friends made their way back to them as the four began to make their way back to Beacon.


"Ruby Rose! Blake Belladonna! Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie! You have all found the queen piece and will now be known as team Ribbon! Led by... Ruby Rose!"

Opal said as a crow cheered and Ruby looked ready to faint.

"Yeah, Rubes! Wait to go, sis!"

Yang shouted waving at her baby sister who looked ready to keel over as her partner the Faunus Blake nodded as the boy Ren patted her head as Nora picked her up singing her widely much to Ruby's' evident distaste.

"I hope that they are ok, with her as a leader I don't know."

Weiss said shaking her head at the in her eyes far too young leader.

"She's not that bad she's a good kid."

"Exactly, she's a child do you think she had any business-

"Weiss Schnee! Jaune Arc! Yang Xiao-Long and Pyrrha Nikos! You all found the rook piece and will hence be known as team SAPY Sapphire!"

The woman said stretching her linguist skills to the limit, as Weiss rolled the words over her tongue, playing with them before frowning.

"Team Saphire? I like it!"

Jaune said smiling as-

"Hush! The headmistress is talking. And it is a good name."

Weiss sad huffing as-

"Led by... Weiss Schnee!"

"It is a great name!"

Weiss shouted cheeks beaming as she was made the rightful leader of the excellently named team Sapy or team Sapphire.


"Ok! Now that we are officially a team I would like to take the time to introduce myself to you all. I am Weiss Schnee. The heiress of the Schnee dust corporation. I will be your leader from this day onward, and I look forward to a productive and efficient work relationship. I know I may seem like a lot and I will expect the best from you all know that I am not unfair and will only push as hard as I believe you can be pushed."

Weiss said bowing to her teammates as Jaune stood up.

"Since we are doing introductions my name is Jaune Arc! I'm our beautiful leader's partner and overall great guy! I hope we get along, I've been around girls long enough so don't worry about me I have seven sisters."

Jaune said as his team gagged.

"Seven?"

Weiss asked a pale look on her already pale face as Pyrrha coughed.

"I have two siblings as well-

"Ah! I'm not quite done! I ran away from my home five years ago when my parents would not let me become a hunter, and now I'm here!"

"You ran away?"

"Sure did Yang! Left them behind and now look at me! I'm going to be a hero!"

Jaune said striking what he thought was a heroic pose as Yang frowned.

"Do they know you are here?"

"Nope! I think they are at our old house, but I don't care!"

Jaune said smiling ear to ear as Yang and Pyrrha both shared a worried look.

"Jaune you should call your family-

"Yang. What my partner does is none of your business. He is free to do as he pleases with his own family."

Weiss said leaping to Jaune's defense not that he needed it or he even knew he might be pressure. The blonde partner of hers was denser than a brick and Weiss could feel a headache from pulling him out of future fire already.

"Ok then! Any other questions for me not about my family?"

"What do you look like without the pants?'

"Xiao-Long! One more word and-

"It's fine Weiss! She's just a bit Yangry that she won't ever get to see me without them on."

Jaune winked at Yang who returned it in kind.

"Don't bet on it Goldilocks I'll have you out of those pants and on your back in no time."

"You can try."

"I well-

"You will no such thing in our dorm! Now please stop flirting with my partner and introduce yourself!"

"Fine! Ok, ok I'm Yang Xiao-long older sister of the year and every year. I like to kick ass and drink cocktails! I like fighting, makeup and cute boys with blonde hair and blue eyes."

"Right back atcha blondie."

"My mom teaches advanced combat at the school, but besides that, I'm just awesome!'

Yang said flicking her long golden hair like a lioness as Jaune smiled.

"So you like to drink huh? Can you hold your liquor?"

"I can do it pretty well after all I am rather good at taking big loads."

"So what you are trying to say is that your swallow game is on point?"

"I've perfected it!"

Yang said popping her p making Jaune grin and-

"Enough! Pyrrha, please make this a normal night!"

"Um! Ok! My name is Pyrrha Nikos! I know some of you know me from tv."

"I don't."

"I saw you on a cereal box."

Yang and Jaune both deadpanned making Weiss facepalm.

"Why did I get the troubling team?"

Weiss moaned as Pyrrha giggled.

"That is for the best. I am here to be a huntress and meet people. I hope we all get along."

"If you look like that you will have to pay me to not like you."

Jaune said making the Spartan stutter as Yang laughed.

"Hey what about me!? I thought me and you were a thing?"

"Sorry my fellow blonde but despite your name I doubt you could Yang with me."

Jaune said as Yang roared with laughter as Weiss sighed.

"Can we just go to bed? I'm tired."

Weiss said crawling to her bed the second one from the door and-

"Um! I have a question!"

Pyrrha said making Weiss smile as the normal one in the group spoke up.

"Yes Pyrrha, what's the matter?"

"How will we handle changing..."

She asked looking at Jaune who blinked owlishly as Weiss coughed.

"Well... Jaune is the only boy here so how would you like it Jaune? If you would like we could all change in the bathroom, or we could step out when you got dressed. What is better for you?"

Weiss asked in her most diplomatic tone that failed to hide the blush creeping up on her pale cheeks-

"Either. I grew up with seven sisters and all, so there's nothing I haven't seen before."

Jaune said sighing as he shrugged making a tick form on Weiss's face.

"I know that Jaune but what about you? Surely you don't want to give us a free show now do you?"

"Don't care. I can change in front of you all if you want-

"Sounds good to me!"

Yang said licking her teeth practically drooling-

"Down girl! Jaune! We will change in the bathroom and then step outside for you to change. Is that acceptable?"

Weiss said as Yang pouted.

"Buzzkill!"

"You will excuse me Yang form protecting my partner from a lecher!"

"Hah! I don't even know the meaning of the word lecher!"

"Why am I not surprised?"

"I mean I can change in the bathroom too if it's that big a deal. I'm fine with either."

"Good. They both work fine for me and please keep your modesty in check. Or some of our more... advantageous teammates might take advantage of you and relieve you of your chastity."

"What? You really think he's a virgin? With those eyes and lips, I bet you have to fight off ladies with a stick!"

"I've never even so much as been kissed."

Jaune dead paned making the room go flat as Weiss fought down a blush.

"That is fine Jaune no one is-

"So you are a virgin?"

Yang asked her eyebrow-raising like a shark about to strike a seal-

"And he will stay that way so long as I am in this dorm! So help me Xiao-Long if I wake up and there is a single strand of your hair out of your bed. I will lock you in a chastity belt for the next year!"

"Hey! That's a bit extreme!"

"Not if you are trying to sneak into bed with my partner it's not!"

"Why? Do you want to share him? I'm down with that, Jaune you cool with me and Weiss cream taking turns your face?"

"What?! How dare you ask him that! Jaune you are not obligated to respond to-

"Sure I'm down. As long as you reciprocate the actions."

Jaune said popping his p as Weiss's face turned the color of Pyrrha's hair who also blush but was now licking her lips.

"I am more than willing to do that, not sure about Weissy over here but-

"Stop calling me that! And I will NOT do that, with my damned partner!"

Weiss shouted surprising herself with her vulgarity and-

"Why? Do you think he's ugly?"

"What?! No! I'd never-

"Then why don't you want to fuck a willing guy?"

Yang asked like it was the most natural thing in the world and into a deeply personal act of intimacy required years of built up mutual trust and passion and-

"If she doesn't want to have sex that's fine. I'm a bit tired anyway. I'm off to bed! Night Weiss, Pyrrha, Yang. See you tomorrow."

Jaune said as nonchalantly as always before falling face down on his bed still fully dressed in his dark red leather armor his odd avian mask on his side as Weiss sighed.

"For one I agree. Now let's all go and STAY in our beds."

Weiss said glaring at Yang who yawned once nodding her head.

"Sure I'm a bit tired to after that workout I did I'll see you all in the morning!"

"Good night everyone I hope our team does well."

Pyrrha said as she went to her bed taking off her armor for a thin pink see-through nightgown and tucking herself in.

"Good night everyone."

Pyrrha said as Weiss slipped into her attire a thin crystal gown that fell to her knees sliding into her bed before taking out her scroll.

: Dear Winter. I have successfully made my way into Beacon as I knew I would and have even been granted a leadership position of my team which I have earned. I have been fortunate enough to be on a team with Pyrrha Nikos a great fighter and potentially blessed with being on a team with the once thought dead Male Arc heir."

"Given his family's... status the fact that he does not regard me a Schnee with open hostility means that he has been separated for a very long time from them. I hope that his trend continues as news of a Schnee Arc partnership will surely make waves. I hope that all is well in Atlas, tell Whitley to study hard, and he will make it into the Atlas prep school and pass on the fact that I miss him. Thank you love Weiss. Your little sister.

Weiss finished her email sending it at once before rolling over in her bed.

"An Arc and a Schnee? Monty sure has a sense of humor."

Weiss thought yawning once before curling up and closing her eyes as her first day in Beacon ended, and she went out like a light.


AN: And there we go! The first chapter of the Game on Hiatus is out! I hope you liked and there will be another chapter up today! Thanks for reading and expect more of this when the first season of Game one ends!
