Alright so then after the united front my readers presented for wanting this fic I got to work on it. Shoutout to Romantic Silence for inspiring this story with his own Time Travelling Trolls. Really hope I do this idea justice. You're going to want to read AKFF and AKNF before this one however. I do not own RWBY.

Chapter 1- A Unexpected Apology.

You know I figured I would have had everyone's personalities figured out by now. Ruby is the adorable little girl, completely innocent, and with a heart of gold. Weiss is the strict one with a soft side that she hides behind multiple barriers. Blake is the silent beauty that prefers the company of a few and guards her secrets from all she doesn't trust, I do question how she thought a bow was the best camouflage for her ears. Yang is the blond bombshell joker/overprotective sister.

My partner is the girl that seeks to be viewed as normal, as normal as a Huntress can be at least, with a careing personality. She's also my tied for best friend with Ruby, I still wonder why Pyrrha took such an interest in me. I don't think she has any chance of knowing my past and Nikos wasn't a name I recognize from my hometown so that rules out hearing about me from relatives.

Ren is the calm, quiet boy that I sometimes think is the only sane one, I came to a hunting school with no training, combine that with the year from Hell and I doubt I qualify as sane, in our little group. Nora is the wild, unpredictable, pancake guzzling, girl that break all my preconceived notions of reality. She's a smart girl but most of her ideas scare the crap out of me. Why she wanted to try and make a chariot drawn by Beowolves I will never know nor wish to find out.

Today however as shattered any and all thoughts I had that I had a good read on these seven, Blake and Weiss are debatable however, friends of mine.

It started this morning when I found my team barely letting me going a yard or two from them, I thought for one second they would follow me into the shower. Then at breakfast today Nora offered me some of her pancakes. After the near heart attack and checking the sky for meteors I accepted it slowly, a fourth year tried nabbing a pancake from her as part of "newbie hazing". Last I heard his hand will be useable in a week or so and I'm already dead weight without a broken limb. Amazingly I emerged unscathed and then went to classes.

Ruby's idea for a food fight was interesting, of course I ended up getting thrown out a window by that tornado Ruby made. My next panic attack came when Ruby offered me a cookie as an apology, again I thought the apocalypse was about to occur. Now after all our classes for today and I'm working on some homework while the rest of team JNPR are off looking for something in the city something else happens.

"I'm sorry could you repeat." I must have misheard them. Four voices ring out in unison.

"We're sorry for how we treated you when you told us about your transcripts." I'm currently in my room looking up from a Grimm Studies assignment at team RWBY. It's been a day since Blake returned from her little sabbatical. Apparently, it ended with a fight against Roman Torchwick at the docks. I'm just glad she came back alive.

Now all the girls of RWBY are wonderful and I doubt they'll ever turn bad but each of them has a level of pride that can border on arrogance gained from being as strong as they are. While I can see Ruby apologizing and possibly Blake I honestly never thought Yang or Weiss would apologize, mostly because I can fully understand their reasoning. I got lucky that Ozpin thinks I can do some good and gave me those fake transcripts, they worked hard to get where they are and I practically spat on that hard work.

"You really don't have to apologize, we're all good." I turn my attention back to my homework, now what was that sea-based Grimm Port mentioned before.

"BANG!"

"GAHH" I jump when Yang's fist slams into my desk and tumble out of my seat. Oh dear Oum what did I do? I look up to see all four girls glaring down at me before quickly shutting my eyes. I'm not taking any chances of getting a beating for accidently seeing something I shouldn't. I feel someone grab my armor straps and pulls me up off the ground. Once I'm on my feet I open my eyes and take a step back at seeing Yang's eyes turn red.

"It's not okay Jaune! I mean I actually trashed a club, partially just for kicks, before I came to Beacon. And yet you come here hoping to help and we treat you like shit." That doesn't calm me down actually, I knew Yang was destructive at times but a whole club!?

"Again, we're good. I don't really blame you, you all worked hard for this and I just got handed this position. Given all the blood, sweat, and tears you put into getting into this school, well I'd probably do the same if I was in your situation."

"But you wouldn't." I give Blake my attention, I wasn't actually expecting her to talk anymore. "You had every reason to write me off and yet you came looking for me." I scratch the back of my head and look away.

"That was just dumb luck. Plus, all I did was give Ruby a clue afterwards." I could have stayed but I knew my presence was just setting Blake entirely on edge and I didn't want to provoke her into running away from the city.

"Look I accept your apology but really we're fine. Trust me if I held a grudge I wouldn't even be near you right now." This whole day has been weird but one thing has stood out more so far. All of my friends' eyes seem … harder for lack of a better term. They act the same but they seem off. Then again, I took a blow to the head yesterday in combat class so it might just be that.

"Now if you'll excuse me I need to go find a book on Aquatic Grimm." I grab my homework and hold the door open for the girls before leaving for the library.

Beacon's library apparently has the largest collection of books in Vale and considering that's without the journals of previous Hunters and Huntresses that went here. It's also one of the most unorganized places I've ever seen. I could be looking in the history section and find a book of fairy tales.

A mind-numbing hour later and I've had no luck finding a book that would help me. Oh, I found a few books on Grimm but they seemed to focus on land or air based Grimm. A quick read on a species called a Beringel did give me an idea for a combo attack for Nora and Ren to use.

"Here you go." I find a book in front of my face and look at the picture of a shark-like Grimm on the cover. I turn to thank Blake and find her already sitting down on a beanbag chair and reading a book.

"How did you find this book, I've been looking for an hour with no luck?" Blake shrugs at my question.

"Pure chance I suppose." I thank her and make to leave only to stop when she says my name.

"Jaune, do you think the White Fang is salvageable?" She wants my opinion on it? That's honestly a tough one, I can understand where the White Fang is coming from but I don't hold with their own blatant racism. Plus, adding what Weiss has said about the attacks on her family and I can't really stand the Fang.

"Honestly, No." Blake stares back at her book, sorrow coating her face. "At least not as it is now. Let's face it Blake with what they've been doing a clean slate just isn't possible, not without the higher-ups being punished or killed." I can see Blake is thinking on my words.

"You're not thinking about trying to do something about the White Fang, are you?" She doesn't answer. "Blake please tell me that you don't plan on doing some lone vigilante deal. You were lucky Torchwick prefers less casualties, if only to keep from having even more attention placed on him."

"I'm not." I breathe a sigh of relief at that.

"Good, we need out resident Kunoichi." She stares up at me with an amused grin, I almost think I see a blush. "What? I picked up the word from a comic and Ren's already our ninja so you get the title Kunoichi." For once I hear Blake laugh. Compared to her normal tone it's filled with emotion. I can't help but stare, it's like watching if I was watching a bird hiss like a snake. Just completely unexpected.

"See something you like?" I blush and look away. Yang's rubbing off on her partner. "No… I mean yes... no wait I don't mean … Aw nevermind." Blake laughs more and I bury my face into my hoodie. Great going Jaune, make yourself look like a bigger moron.

"I'm just joking Jaune." I look back at Blake with my cheeks still burning and see she's trying to get up. I hold a hand out to her and help her up only for her to pull me into an embrace and I feel her lips near my ear. My hair is standing on end.

"Of course, a Kunoichi would sometimes get a mission to seduce the enemy. And once that tournament starts distracting an enemy team's tactician seems like a good idea." She brings her head back and lets me go but then pecks me on the lips. Nothing but a chaste kiss that lasts for merely a second but I'm sure my blush puts Ruby's cloak to shame.

"Thanks for everything Jaune." Blake walks away with a smile on her face and a swing in her hips. No bad Jaune, do not look. This is probably some joke Yang came up with. Yah that's it, just a joke Yang came up with and dragged Blake into. That makes the most sense, why would Blake do any of that otherwise?

Just to be safe though I should go see the nurse and get my head checked out and a drug test done.

So thoughts, ideas, hopes?
