Authors Notes

Hi This is just a short story I wrote because I got bored waiting for someone who said they would go over my draft of Chapter 3 for A New Sword is Forged. I have not heard anything back from them though but I'll go a bit in more detail on that in the notes at the end but don't worry it's on the way.

This story isn't really something serious like I just said I made it on a whim because I wanted to write something else and not have it be too long. So, I kind of didn't put nearly as much effort in it as my other story. I just kind of wanted to make one with Tamamo in it. People might be OOC in this but oh well.

Anyway my Spelling and grammar is mostly still bad so be warned.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

Disclaimer I don't own RWBY or the Fate series.

Chapter 1 -An unexpected Arrival

A large dark room with old stone walls that looked to date back centuries. In the centre of the room was a well-crafted wooden desk which was littered with all sorts of strange and peculiar items. There were also bookshelves everywhere crammed with an assortment of a different variety of book many thought to have been lost to time.

On the chair behind the desk was an old man who looked to be anywhere between his fifties or seventies. The man had short slicked back hair and a beard that were both grey as a sign of his age. His outfit was an extravagant suit with a black short black cape around his shoulders. But the most eye-catching feature about the man was his blood red eyes that hold within them knowledge and wisdom beyond any other person alive today.

The man was Zelretch the wizard marshall and holder of the second magic.

Right now, the old vampire was sitting on his chair leaning forward resting his head on the palm of his hand while his face seemed to be almost in a permanent frown. He was staring at a device that allowed him to peer into other worlds allowing him to view them all to his own pleasure.

As Zelretch just kept his red eyes on the images that the device displayed while it kept switching through to different events.

Zelretch just sighs and groaned out. "I'm soooooooo bored!"

Zelretch was immortal and he had quickly found out that living for so long things got very mundane very fast. It was why he had taken to meddling with people because it always seemed to alleviate him of it. Right now Zelretch was looking through different worlds and was getting frustrated, nothing seemed to grab his interest that would make him want to sit back and enjoy watching humans deal with whatever shenanigans were going on in their lives.

Sure, there were the holy grail wars but after a while, they got a bit dull with seeing people fight with big explosions here and there and someone dying. He wanted something a bit different something not so big in scale that mankind could all die if some madman got his hands on the grail. So Zelretch kept flicking through viewing other worlds like one would flick through the TV when trying to find something to watch. The old man had kept this going for who god knows how long before finally something managed to catch his interest and hold it.

The image showed a sixteen-year-old blonde boy with a bit of white in hair and was wearing something strikingly similar to a certain counter guardian. One of Zelretch favourite individuals to observe and mess around with. Zelretch watched this boy in another world through his device and small smile made its way onto his aged face.

The young boy's life had grabbed his attention so Zelretch started looking for any more different variance of him in other worlds. The old Wizard Marshall was shown many different paths for the boy to go down some good, some sad and some funny.

Stroking his beard, the old man mused to himself. 'Now this could prove to be entertaining I just need to find a world with the boy in that I can mess around with that would not have huge ramifications later on.'

The next image that was showed was one that got Zelretch scheming up a plan.

It showed the blonde kid looking all depressed after getting turned down by that white-haired girl he seemed to have a crush on and was walking by the woods near his academy on his own.

'The young lad wants to get a girl huh? Well then, I guess good old uncle Zelretch will help you out Jauney boy!' The dead apostle smirked mischievously.

Waving his hand another screen appeared to the left of him showing different cards with pictures of various women on them.

Cracking his knuckles giving off a satisfying few pops Zelretch shouted out "Time to roll the gatcha!"

Slamming his hand down Zelretch looked on with anticipation as a card slowly spun around to reveal a small girl with white hair wearing very little clothing and holding a dozen daggers. The girl wanted someone to act as her mother.

Zelretch shook his head "No not the psycho loli"

It would definitely not be a good idea to send her to out there. The poor blonde would not know what to do with her and when the body count would start to pile up...

Yeah, it would be very unpleasant so no not her.

Rolling again this time the card showed not a little girl but a very tall woman with long hair. Her outfit seemed to be some kind of purple bodysuit that showed off her very generous assets in the chest area.

Again, the dead apostle was shaking his head. The women had mad enhancement EX and for her, a lover was equal to her own child the boy would most likely be traumatized. So once more the roll happened again and Zelretch was starting to get annoyed. This time the picture showed a beautiful person with pink hair in long braided tail wearing fancy dress looking almost like a princess. To most they would not see a problem with this chose but...

"Oh, come on! How is the trap even one of the options?" Zelretch shouted out wanting to know how he got in there.

The old man just sighed and rolled one more time not caring what came up next. He was beginning to lose interest very fast so it didn't matter who was next they would be the ones to go into that other world.

On the final roll, it showed another person with pink hair but that was the only similarity that the two shared. This woman had a blue shrine maiden outfit and had fox ears as well as a tail. Zelretch hummed and nodded his head in approval believing he had finally got an acceptable pick. It could work Zelretch would just take another world version of her that was doing nothing and he could just drop her in and enjoy the show.

It would work out great!

The boy wanted to find someone so he would get a surprise wife.

The girl was upset and just wanted to be a good wife so she will get a master

And Zelretch was bored so he would get some entertainment out of all this.

Everyone won!

Grinning and having finally made up his mind the wielder of the second magic went to set everything up after commenting.

"I guess bushy tail it is then."

Zelretch was already feeling the boredom disappearing as he got ready to mess around with another person's life.

The poor boy wouldn't know what hit him.

Dwelling in an almost empty void within throne of heroes was a spirit.

Tamamo no Mae was down on her knees crying her eyes out with the tears streaming down her face.

She was all alone here in isolation ever since she had died.

She had no idea how long it had been since she had arrived in this place it could have been days or years there was no way of telling.

The last thing she remembered was being hunted down by the emperor's men all 80,00 of them. They had blamed her for the emperor's illness thinking that she bewitched him. Tamamo tried to tell them that she innocent and she even apologised blindly just wanting it all to stop so she could be left alone.

But they ignored her and just kept shouting out kill the fox demon.

Tamamo had no other choice so when they came at her she killed the first batch of pursuers in self-defense but a second force arrived shortly after. They had fired a hail of arrows at her for three days and nights even despite her trying to reason with them. Tamamo had no idea why this happened to her she had not be trying to hurt anyone! She just wanted to love someone and fawn over them like many had done for her.

Her affection towards love came from her time observing humans, seeing them so happy to be fawning over her made Tamamo want to do the same for someone else.

It was what she wanted for herself to just be a good wife for someone

To love them unconditionally

But now she was stuck in this endless purgatory with nothing and no one to be with.

To spend eternity alone

So Tamamo just wept until she felt... a presence of something reaching out to her. She felt it grab hold of her trying to take her somewhere and she was powerless to stop it. So Tamamo just closed her eyes and accepted it letting it take her away.

Besides any place was better than this empty void.

Jaune Arc was having pretty crappy day

It had started off with him having being woken up by Nora shouting and jumping up and down on Ren's bed wanting her morning pancakes. Still not used to getting woken up by Nora's pancakes demands Jaune had been pretty slow getting up. So, while he had to wake himself up the rest of his team had already taken their showers before going off for breakfast leaving Jaune to deal with nothing but an ice-cold shower because of his team using up all the hot water.

Not a great start to the day but at least the cold shower had woken him up so that was a, plus right?

Then for his first lesson, he had to try and stay awake in professor Port's class which was not easy. For an hour and a half, the man spent the whole-time informing the class about one of his adventures of when he once suplexed an Ursa.

Was that even possible?

Anyway, after that class which was more of a test of how long a person could withstand one of Port's drivel. Jaune and the rest of them went to off to combat class. It was still Jaune's least favourite class because to no one's surprise he still was terrible when it came to fighting. He had made some strides in it so he was not losing every single match he was put in but all that was mostly due to Pyrrha's training.

Pyrrha

His partner

Jaune had made a complete fool of himself when he had first met her. He had no idea that he had been talking to someone so famous and prestigious hell the only thing he could recall seeing Pyrrha from was her face being on a freaking cereal box! It must have looked so stupid when Jaune had tried to hit on her and Weiss back in the locker room all that time ago. That thought made the blonde feel awkward thinking back when he had hit on her and how she was now going to be his partner for four years.

Speaking of that, Pyrrha had been the best partner that Jaune could have asked for, she did not care that he had cheated his way into Beacon and she had even forgiven him after he had been such a jerk to her saying he need anyone's help out of his own anger and pride at the time.

He had been such an idiot thinking that he could do everything by himself after cheating his way into one of the best academies in all of Remnant that took in people who train nearly their whole lives to get to the level they were at.

And Jaune had thought that he could just sneak in and catch up with them all in a small amount of time. Yeah calling himself an idiot didn't even cut it he must have been insane.

Anyway, after all the classes were over and done with, Jaune had tried to continue with his attempts at "wooing" Wiess.

Jaune had kept trying to ask out Wiess since after the ceremony at the start of the year but she had kept playing hard to get.

At least that's what Jaune had thought.

He had increased his efforts recently possible asking her out almost ten times in this week alone and each time he was shot down. But Jaune would not give up that easily after all his dad had told him that the best way to get the girl was confidence and to keep on trying even when the girl said no.

Jaune just believed that if kept on asking then Wiess would give him a chance eventually.

Not very logical but hey neither was love!

So, for his next attempt of asking her out on a date, Jaune had decided to go out of his way to make it special.

Jaune had set it all up by getting her alone on the roof overlooking the city of Vale giving a breath-taking view and he had also purchased some white roses that Jaune would present her when he asked her out on the date.

There was no way his Snow angle would be able to refuse

He was wrong

It would seem that Wiess's patience had finally run out when it came to Jaune chasing after her. So, she unloaded on him shouting about how there no way that she would ever go for someone like him and that he should stop wasting her time with his pathetic attempts at romance. As well as saying that he should be spending more of his time fixing himself into a more presentable Huntsman because of his pathetic performance so far in the year.

Her words had been so cold that Jaune was in fear that he may have gotten frostbite from them. After her peace was said she stormed off leaving him there on the roof to wallow in his own little misery.

Jaune guessed he could not blame her for blowing up on him seeing as Jaune was constantly asking her out almost every day so Wiess most likely had enough of him and decided to put a stop to it once and for all. He just wished she could have been a bit less... okay a lot less harsh but maybe seeing as her ignoring him and saying no just got Jaune thinking that was her playing hard to get. Which meant she needed to do something else to get the message across.

Well after getting verbally beaten down and humiliated Jaune had decided to take a walk around the Beacon campus to clear his head and reflect a bit. The walk had taken him to be near the outskirts of the Emerald forest the same place where the initiation was set which felt like such a long time ago now.

Thinking back on it Jaune would have died back then if not for Pyrrha.

Jaune really did own her a lot

Not just for keeping his secret about his transcripts and training him. But for also saving him from falling to his death and unlocking his aura.

Pyrrha had been looking out for him since day one.

'She's such a good friend' The young Arc told himself 'I just wish she would stop fussing over me so much I'm not THAT hopeless, am I?'

Maybe Weiss had a point he should just stop with the silly romance. It would give him more time to work on his training for his goal of becoming a Huntsman and being honest with himself it was not like he had a chance with any of the girls here. Jaune was not going meet someone out of the blue like that anyway. His reminiscing was cut short however as Jaune was strolling a small flash hit his eyes that originated from within the forest. Rubbing his eyes from being slightly blinded by the flash Jaune's ears began to pick up on something.

It so quiet barely above a whisper

Straining his ears Jaune attempted to pick up on it.

'is someone... crying?' He asked himself as weeping could barely be made out

Not having the heart to just leave it be Jaune decided to investigate possible against his better judgment.

Moving past the trees and other foliage he made it to the source of the sound. Jaune did not know what he was expecting but it was definitely not this.

There on the ground in the middle of some trees and bushes was a woman on her knees crying.

She had bright pink bubble-gum hair tied up in two twin tails that went down her back and flawless creamy pale skin.

Her outfit was something he had no idea how to describe it as he had seen nothing like it before, the only thing that even came a tiny bit close was Blake wired Pyjamas that she said was called a yukata but the clothes this woman had made Blake's seem tame in comparison with the colour theme being blue, black and white. She also seemed to have blue thigh-length stockings and some kind of arm guard or something like that.

There was one thing that stood out even more than the outfit and the pink hair though. That was the brown pointy ears coming out of her head and the big bushy tail coming out from behind her giving the girl a fox-like appearance.

Seeing the animal features led Jaune to one and maybe the most obvious observation ever.

'She's a Faunus...but what is she doing out here on her own.'

It was likely that maybe she was out here because of discrimination. Just because Cardin and his team had stopped bullying since the forever fall incident didn't mean that others in the school were not racist as well they were just not so vocal about it. Taking an even closer look Jaune didn't recognise her from his time around Beacon but it was entirely possible that the girl was one of the older years or something.

Not being able to turn his back on someone in need of obvious help Jaune went to offer a hand. This whole situation reminding him of when he first met Ruby.

A cute girl down on the ground upset

Jaune could not leave her like that besides it will be okay just like his mom all ways says 'Strangers are just friends that you haven't met yet'

He walked in front of her but still keeping a few steps away as not to get within her personal space.

"Um er hello?" Jaune winced from how awkward he sounded.

He wanted to try and help but Jaune didn't really know what to say. It didn't seem to matter though as the pink haired girl couldn't hear him as she seemed too far down in her sorrows.

Mustering up the courage Jaune spoke again

"hey... look I don't k-know what's wrong b-but can you please stop crying maybe I can help you." Jaune told her with the softest and caring voice he could muster. Her top ears twitched as he spoke again, but it seemed he had only managed to get her attention as she didn't appear to have registered his words

Her eyelids parted revealing what was once denied from being viewed.

Her eyes were a pair of golden brown that someone could easily get themselves lost in just by looking at them for just a second, the light from the sun had made them have an eye-catching shine because of the still wet tears leaking from them. Jaune had gulped as he had to stop himself from getting anymore lost in her eyes. He couldn't help but wonder how much more beautiful they would look if she had not just been crying her eyes out moments ago.

"Hey, are you ok?" He questioned her softly all while he berated himself internally

'You freaking moron, of course, she not "OK" she wouldn't be out here balling her eye's out if she was fine.' God, why couldn't he be better at this, it would be nice if he could stop messing everything up.

As Jaune was too busy giving himself a hard time it seemed he missed what the unnamed girl was doing which after looking into his eyes was now frantically looking around taking in her surroundings. She was touching the ground looking to feel it and her eyes appeared to show disbelief in finding out it was real. Her eyes hastily went back to Jaune's form and her eyes seemed to gain a look of realisation.

A dazzling smile soon made its way onto her face that was as bright as the sun.

She threw herself up from the ground and latched on to him. Jaune who was almost tackled to the ground from the unexpected force because he was still lost inside his own head.

His mind coming back to him Jaune righted himself back up and looked down to see the girl was doing.

She appeared to be... hugging him?

Her arms were wrapped around his shoulders and she had her face buried into the crook of his neck with her ears tickling his chin. Her bushy tail had snaked its way around his body pulling him in close and Jaune had to suppress himself from blushing when he felt the fox Faunus assets pressed up against his chest.

Jaune had no idea how this had happened

The day had started off pretty crap and he had gone off for a simple walk which had somehow led to him now being in a tight embrace with a girl he had just met.

Maybe she was just looking for some kind of comfort after whatever it was she had been through. Yeah, that made sense Jaune had to do the same thing back at home for his sisters when they needed comforting saying that he gave the best hugs like some kind of big teddy bear.

At least that's what his dense mind came up with. So, seeing no other real issue with it he hugged her back.

She almost seemed to melt into his embrace as he did so.

This was all a bit strange for Jaune but hey weirder stuff had happened recently like Ruby and her team taking on Roman Torchwick at the docks. That had been an interesting thing to see the next day on the news when Jaune had woke up.

Rubbing his hand up and down the girl's back trying to soothe her. Jaune whispered still trying to help even if he had no idea what was wrong.

"Hey there it's okay... everything is gonna be alright."

The girl whose name he still had not gotten must have heard him as her left fox ear twitch back and forth tickling his chin even more.

Then began to mumble something into his neck but Jaune had caught it.

"Yes, everything is going be alright with you... here... with me now... my Master"

Jaune froze up his body locking in place as his ears picked that last bit up. The girl in his arms didn't seem to notice or care as she just stayed in bliss while in his embrace.

Jaune's brain was rebooting and processing the information it just received and...

His eyes balls nearly popping out of there sockets

"WHAT!" He screamed out

What the hell did she just mean by calling him master?

End

There done so yeah I kind of just wanted to maybe do a Jaune and Tamamo thing but I won't be focusing on this story as will I spend most of my time on A new sword is Forged.

The people who showed up on the cards in order were Jack the ripper, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and then Astolfo before going to Tamamo. Also I know that Faunus don't have more than one animal trait but I'm having it that Jaune does not know that because of him not spending a lot time with Faunus before so he is just ignorant to that fact.

The reason why Tamamo latched onto Jaune was because she spent what felt a long time all alone so meeting another person again was a very emotional moment for her. Also she does not know who it was that called her out from the void so seeing Jaune and being in the real world again she could have assumed that he was the one to call for her. which could be why she called him master. I'm still not sure yet if I will go with that.

I don't know why but I have always like the idea of Zelretch just being some big troll messing with people. Also this story is just a thing that I took a lot more freedom with not worrying about all the other stuff from both Rwby and the Fate universes. Meaning if you can't tell don't take it serious because I'm not.

Maybe I will come back to this in my free time or if any of you are interested in me continuing this let me know. I just wanted to try other stuff to test myself out on it and also I just left the rating on T for now maybe it will go up later I don't know.

Now like I said up in the top notes I have the next Chapter ready for my other story but I sent a copy to someone who told me they would look over it for me. I sent it to them on Thursday and have heard nothing back so I don't know if they even got it or not. I'll wait a bit more but if nothing happens I'll post it after I look at one more time so it should be up around Monday or Tuesday.

See you guys next time.
