I take no credit in the character idea of Janne- Jaune's Genderbended side or Rin- Ren's Genderbended side. Credit goes to Shikniful for drawing them so wonderfully. I have no idea how this Genderbend thing goes since I've always done yuri pairings and all and had no idea I would be doing this to Jaune. Frankly, I love Jaune. But for some reason, my mind wanted this to happen. So here I go

Oh I also got this inspiration after reading GaryOkampo's RWBY : Little Hunters fic. Expect a lot of similarities from it. And give his fic some heads up if you haven't. It's kinda cool and I like his writing style XD

By the way, this is probably going to be JauneHarem. Expect some manly Janne and the return of the Onesies! I don't think Ren would fit into he harem. Ren is Ren. Plus, Nora's way too into him. Her. I mean, him. GAH! This is confusing!

This is also my first fic in the anime/cartoon genre so... Bah! Screw this. Criticize me all you want!

[Chapter 1] -Dusts and Judgment-

Jaune sighed after another sad day of failure for him. Today, he was frozen by Weiss for being too close, beaten up by Yang for accidentally touching Ruby in certain places, silenced by Blake for making a horrible pun about cats (Yang's influence), and of course, had intense training with his partner, Pyrrha. He didn't even have to think about Nora because said hammer-wielder has already made the day worse by carrying him in a princess cradle to the infirmary after he passed out from too much abuse from the others.

It was a miracle he was still alive at this point. His overconfidence has made him even more unpopular with girls than what his father thought. It was no mystery that the girls dislike him (is what he'd like to believe. But seriously. Who the hell would believe that?) but he has already become a somewhat tolerable leader thanks to Pyrrha's training and Ruby's guidance. He was able to lead Team JNPR in the front lines during one of their missions splendidly! Though it cost him his pants. No. Literally. His pants were burned down by one of Yang's misfires but thank God he was still able to keep his... item.

Jaune rolled in his bed, switching positions yet another time as he kept thinking about the upside downs of life. He then felt a sudden pressure from the bed sheets and he realized that someone was sitting next to him on his bed. He opened his eyes, albeit drowsily since he wasn't able to sleep and it's already 3 in the morning. His eyes widened as he realized the figure was actually one of his teammates (duh). It was Lie Ren, the voice of the team.

The JNPR leader tried to make sense of what the black haired boy was doing. He had a few guesses. One, Ren was actually an assassin, about to assassinate him in his sleep and there's nothing he can do about it. Well, he had his doubts if Ren actually thought that he was a suitable leader for him so that's another possible motive for the murder. Two, Ren was going to 'attack' him in his sleep! Now it all makes sense! The reason why he hadn't gone out with Nora yet even though said hammer-wielder was clinging to him like a koala! Or a sloth. Jaune still didn't get the joke behind the Sloth thing. He shrugged it off as an inside joke.

The shorter of the duo realized that his leader was already awake, thus feeling like he should mess with him a bit with a sly grin plastered on his face.

After seeing the grin, Jaune briskly shot up from his bed and sat up straight, glaring at Ren in the eyes as he blurted out incomprehensible words that Ren surprisingly caught.

"IdontknowwhatyouwantorwhyyouretryingtoassassinatemebutIamonlyasimplecountrybumpkinpleasedontkillme!"

If any of you didn't caught it, Jaune just said that he's a simple country bumpkin and thus wants Ren to not assassinate such a poor soul.

Ren caught up with his words and chuckled.

"Relax, Jaune. I'm not going to kill you. It's Blake you should be worried about. She's been dying to murder you ever since you found out about her real identity."

"But her ears are so dem purrfect!"

"My sentiments exactly." Ren sighed at his leader's lame pun attempt and then proceeded to go with the real subject, only to be stopped yet again by said leader.

"Wait! If you weren't trying to kill me,..." Jaune froze, shielding his chest with both his arms as he backed away from the shorter boy.

It took a few seconds for even the perceptive one on Team JNPR to realize what was going on his leader's head but he realized it nevertheless. Ren sighed once again and smacked his leader on the head with a paper fan lying around somewhere (his property).

One glare from Ren silenced the leader of his thoughts and Jaune quickly straightened up, sitting properly on his bed as he looked at the shorter one.

"Is something bothering you?"

Surprisingly, it was Ren who asked the question to his fellow teammate and leader. Jaune at first didn't understand what the shorter boy was trying to get at but then it hit him. Ren was perceptive when it comes down to it and he probably would have seen Jaune's worry from a mile away. The blonde knight heaved a sigh as well and then proceeded to just lie down on the bed, earning a questioning gaze from his teammate.

"It's not like there's something bothering me, but..." Jaune began as he tried to choose his words carefully. "It's like I have no luck whatsoever with women. I know that you guys think that overconfidence was doing me no good, but it's how I lived. I can't change it. My dad was my friend, my adviser, my hero,.. and... well... my dad." Jaune thought back to the things his father has taught him over the years and it never failed him once! Not even about the onesies!... Okay, that was a failure. But he did get a few good friends thanks to the comedic personality he achieved through wearing his onesies. Though Ren (and basically every single occupant of the dorm) made him throw it out. He loved his onesies, but he had to do it in fear of the others' weapons flying at him.

"Jaune..." Ren called his leader with worry in his voice and a somewhat angry tone. "You're an idiot."

"Hey!" Jaune was offended by the shorter boy's statement. He thought Ren was going to say something nice, but seeing as the boy has rubbed more salt in the wounds, Jaune couldn't help but to glare at his teammate, hoping he would take it back.

"It's true though." Ren got up and stretched some sore muscles from sitting there a bit too long looking at Jaune and then pat the clumsy leader on the head with a warm smile on his face. "Don't worry, Jaune. Even if you're an idiot, I'm sure the girls will swoon over you once they realize how cute you are."

Jaune pouted as the shorter boy left his final words before finally going back to his bed.

The blonde knight didn't know what to make of the conversation. Sure Ren was wise in these areas, but after listening on and even observing Jaune's failures, that was all he could muster? A sad hope for a brighter future which might or might not come? Jaune was confused but instead decided to just think about it some other time. He's got school and there's no reason for him to not sleep, right? He's faced two sleepless nights in a row and he'd have to sleep this time or else he could cause an accident in the Dust Chemistry class in a couple of hours from now. Setting his mind up, Jaune closed his eyes and drifted into slumberland...

… Is what he thought! Sadly for him, he couldn't sleep a wink!

He started thinking about a lot of things and by the time he realized it, it was already 6.30. The alarm clock rang on and the red-haired amazoness got up to turn it off, only to realize that her leader was already up, shutting the clock harshly as he almost broke said device. Pyrrha could only watch in surprise as she saw her leader was a lot more cranky than usual, not to mention that Jaune got up early- which was also a surprise since he went to bed late last night.

"Oh, you're up, Jaune. Earlier than expected." Pyrrha tried to create a conversation with her team leader, only to be silenced by the glare of Jaune's tired-looking eyes.

"Stuff happened, Pyrrha... Just... Stuff..." Jaune trailed off and yawned a loud one, moving his ass up to the bathroom. He hoped that some light shower would wake him up a little because today was going to be a long day.

"What's wrong with him?" Pyrrha asked herself as she watched her team leader make his way to the bathroom.

"Lack of sleep and internal conflict."

Pyrrha almost jumped as she heard the sudden voice from behind her, only to realize that it was Ren, though not in the same state as Jaune, she realized that the shorter boy of the team was also sleep deprived.

"What's wrong with you two? Can't sleep?" Pyrrha asked again but as she pondered on a bit more,...

'Wait... Both of them are sleep deprived, meaning that they didn't sleep last night. Nora looks like she's had a good rest, judging by the way she's chomping on her pillow for God knows what her dream is. Both of their weapons are in the same place and position since last night, meaning that they didn't go out. Ren wouldn't be stupid enough to go out without a weapon. Jaune,... Maybe...? And judging by their beds, Ren's looked completely tidy. It's no mystery in the team that Ren has a bad sleeping posture so it might be that he didn't even stay on his bed much. Jaune's looked messy... A little TOO messy...'

Pyrrha couldn't believe it. No- She doesn't want to believe it! Out of all the idiotic things Jaune could have done, he couldn't possibly do the one thing both the female occupants of the room didn't want him to do!

'No... This can't be... Jaune is a sane, straight man. I don't know about Ren since he's been avoiding Nora's advances and all plus his figure looked feminine, but Jaune is straight. No matter how you look at it, he's always been flirting- or at least trying to flirt, with girls! There's no way this could be possible! Besides, didn't Jaune know that there's a healthy, tall, red-haired girl that already has feelings for him?! Were my advances that dull for Jaune to miss it?!'

Pyrrha glared at the shorter boy as if trying to drill non-existent holes in the boy's eyes. The moment he looked in Ren's magenta eyes, it seemed as though she was sucked in them, like vacuum! The boy's eyes were magnificent! A work of art! Pyrrha had just realized it! Realizing she had lost in that area, Pyrrha put a hand over her mouth as she couldn't believe what she just saw. She shook her head of all the thoughts and tried to assure herself that it's alright.

'It's okay. Ren may have beautiful eyes and all, but he's still a boy! What Jaune wants is a healthy, womanly body like mine! There's no way Jaune would fall for that boyi-'

The Amazoness's mind was interrupted as she opened her eyes, to see Ren already taking off his shirt. The red-haired girl was entranced- to say the least. The well toned body of Ren's was not so muscular but there was an air of femininity to them, not losing the strong abs that took Pyrrha's attention completely. Pyrrha gulped, realizing that this time, she had lost completely. Ren was not only strong and gallant, but also intelligent and beautiful.

Pyrrha dropped to her knees, admitting defeat to her opponent. She was sobbing away as Ren became even more confused at the situation.

Nora woke up to see a crying Pyrrha in front of a skeptical Ren.

Team RWBY, JNPR, CRDL and some other students were in Dust Chemistry class. They were split up in pairs in a random order. Some were lucky, like Pyrrha and Ruby, to be paired up with each other, friends who know each other and are comfortable together whilst others weren't so lucky. Examples were Cardin. Why wasn't he lucky? Because next to him was a girl that kept bumbling 'Break his legs... Break his legs...' over and over again. Yes, it was Nora. Even though Cardin has stopped bullying everyone, his teammates didn't. This caused Nora to blame Cardin for his lack of leadership and sometimes would run towards their room, screaming 'I'LL BREAK YO LEG, MOTHER-', only to be stopped by Ren in the nick of time. Sadly, Ren wasn't in sight as he was with Jaune, far away from them. God knows what would happen. He prayed to the Gods that he would be able to finish the class without any injuries.

Blake was lucky, though. Sure, she wasn't paired up with people whom she hangs out with often, but she's paired up with the person she wanted to talk with for a long time- Velvet Scarlatina. The reasons why she wanted to pair up with said bunny-eared faunus was clear enough as she herself was a faunus and they might have shared the same resentments towards the failure of humanity and wanted to conquer the world someday. Yes, that was Blake's secret dream, but if she could think of it, why not other faunus? Right? Well, she couldn't tell. All sorts of conversations were halted by Velvet herself as she took a few glances at Cardin who was trying to get as far away as his partner as possible. She had a smug look in her eyes that screams 'HAH! Take that, Winchester! BREAK HIS LEGS! BREAK HIS LEGS, VALKYRIE!'. The muffled evil laugh by Velvet silenced Blake completely as she thought that the girl had evil conquering plans as well. Blake smiled as she made a new comrade in this world without said comrade realizing it at all.

Weiss, however, wasn't actually lucky. Unlike Blake who wasn't paired up by someone from the gang, Weiss was paired up with her own teammate. That was the good part. The bad part, you may ask? Said teammate was none other than Yang Xiao Long, the most clueless one of her teammates in regards to Dust. Yang kept mixing in Dust after Dust, wondering what this would do with that and that would do with this. Weiss had a hard time confiscating the Dusts from Yang's hands as the taller girl tried to make some sort of evil destruction towards the class. One second she takes her eyes off of the Blonde Brawler, Yang would already be mixing up Dust after Dust, not caring what the end results would be. It took Weiss a few lectures on the Brawler and some Ice Glyphs on the Brawler's arm to make the girl sit down and observe. Thankfully, no explosion occurred to them and Weiss was able to make do with what they have and did what the instructor told her whilst Yang pouted ever so cutely at why she couldn't be Mixing dusts as well. Weiss only gave her a short reply. "I don't want to die yet."

Ruby was supposed to have a better luck than Yang. Sure she was bad with Dusts but that doesn't mean she would just use them without knowing what they do. She intended to observe her partner to know what she was supposed to do and help them if they needed it. Pyrrha was a good choice. Even though she wasn't as experienced with Dust as Weiss, she was observant and extra careful with the Dust samples. Pyrrha would be perfect if she were in her top shape, but now,...

"Ren... won... No... Jaune... Why... Why him... Please tell me it isn't so, Jaune... Please..."

Pyrrha was in a mental breakdown as she banged her head on the table several times, almost making the Dust samples fall from their respective containers. Ruby didn't know what to do with the situation but she decided that it would be best to leave her companion be and focus on the task at hand. But when she was just about to touch the containers, Pyrrha grabbed Ruby's arm briskly, making the younger girl yelp due to sheer surprise.

"Who's more beautiful, me or Ren?" she asked the Team RWBY Leader, looking at her straight in the eyes.

Ruby was confused by the question and tilted her head, not knowing how to answer it. Pyrrha realized the questioning stare from the young girl and proceeded to explain what had happened the night before, judging from Pyrrha's guess.

"Are you freakin kidding me?" Ruby wasn't the type of person who would use foul words but this time, it just slipped. She couldn't believe it. Jaune and Ren? Sure those two are comrades and made friends with each other quickly since they're the only male in their team, but still, Jaune and Ren? That's absurd! "It's probably just your imagination, Pyrrha. I'm sure Jaune is smart enough to realize about my advances and would definitely come to me."

"WHAT?!"

A voice from the Ruby-Pyrrha pair was heard as the taller and older of the pair jumped up, hands in a position to strangle the scythe-wielder. At first Jaune was about to break the fight but then after a few words were exchanged between the pair, Pyrrha let go and shook hands with Ruby. He didn't know exactly what was going on, but he could just ask Pyrrha about it some other time. Right now, he was more focused on another thing. Lack of focus would be fatal.

"Okay, Ren. You're more knowledgeable than me. What to do?" He asked the shorter boy as Ren stared at the Dust samples, though drowsily.

Both Jaune and Ren were drowsy and not really capable of making a good judgment at the moment. All they were thinking about was their beds and how comfy they were. Jaune didn't give a single crap about his problems and only wanted to sleep. Ren was now regretting his own mind of thinking about a certain person last night and wanted to just strangle another person who he was with last night. Said person was next to him. He could just strangle him. Yes, that would be wise.

"Ren, are you listening?"

Ren snapped out of his drowsy killer mode as he realized that the Blonde Knight was currently looking at him with worry. He instantly regretted his previous thought of assassinating his own Leader and shook his head, looking at the Dust Samples yet again.

"Yeah. I'm guessing you mix the yellow one with that pink one."

"Why?"

"I have no idea. They look good together."

"That they do."

"Let's mix 'em together."

"Wise choice, my friend."

All sense of rationality were wiped out of both their minds as they completely made an irrational decision based on unrelated judgment. That choice, however, made them instantly regret their decision.

Smoke of all colors quickly filled the vicinity as Glynda Goodwitch quickly alarmed the students to retreat to a safe distance. The other students managed to escape successfully except for two individuals.

"Wait, Jaune and Ren aren't here!" Ruby stated as she checked again, hoping that she had missed counting her best friend and friend.

Glynda was about to enter the smoke to save the students from what the smoke was for, only to be stopped by a sudden explosion-like wave which caused the smoke to dissipate into thin air. Glynda closed her eyes, shielding it from the smoke until it cleared and then once it did, she saw two students fainted. She quickly made her way to them and what she saw made her jaw drop.

Jaune was in dreamland. Thank God Almighty that he was able to sleep soundly under the blankets of some bed he didn't know. Frankly, he didn't care. All he wanted was to sleep. And sleep he shall! After a few hours of rest, he started to regain his consciousness again though he wanted to sleep more. He decided that he could just sleep and ignore the constant ramblings of the other occupants of the room.

"She sure looks like him but I mean- Seriously? That has got to be a joke!"

He heard the voice clearly. It was none other than Weiss Schnee. Why was she near his sleeping kingdom? He then recalled that he managed to make some smoke which made both Ren and him faint. He must have been in the infirmary the entire time.

"I don't know about that but she has his Student ID in her pockets and everything. There's no doubt that that's him."

This time, the voice was more calm and collected. He knew the voice well. It was Pyrrha's. She's here as well? Jaune couldn't help but feel thankful that his friends are here to visit him and keep him company.

"Well, she could just be wearing the exact same clothes as him with the same size and threw him away somewhere else. But under 10 seconds? Not even Ruby could be that fast."

It was Blake's this time. Amusement in her voice. It was rare for her to be so amused. What could possibly cause her to be excited that much?

"Hey!... Well, can't deny it."

Jaune heard a sigh coming from the voice. It was Ruby's. It was weird that Nora wasn't there. He would be glad if Nora was, but then realized that Ren must have been placed somewhere else and Nora might have gone to keep him company.

"... She's cute... I want to eat her up... I want to eat her up, Blake... FRIGGIN' GET ME OUT OF YOUR DAMN SHROUD ALREADY!"

He heard the protests of one Yang Xiao Long, probably tied up by Blake. But why would she be tied up? There wasn't any reason to, was there? Jaune decided to just get up since it was rude for him to continue sleeping while there are girls around him. He got up and then opened his eyes, only to be greeted by the shocked faces of the other girls.

"Hey, guys. What happened?" He asked the others.

There were a few things Jaune felt weird about. One was that his sitting height felt a little shorter than usual. Maybe it was because of the small bed or something? His voice sounded a little more squeakier than what he remembered. Was it because he inhaled the smoke too much? His clothes felt a bit big to him. Okay not a bit- A LOT more bigger than he remembered. Another one was that his hair felt a lot more longer. A LOT more. His hair was as long as Yang's now.

"Jaune?" Pyrrha called him, almost questioningly.

"Yes, Pyrrha?" came Jaune's priceless innocent smile which brought the other girls to conclusion. There was no doubt in mind anymore.

"Look at this mirror." Pyrrha held out mirror so that Jaune could see his reflection.

Jaune was confused why Pyrrha had told him to do such but then when he looked into the mirror, he was speechless. He tried pinching his cheeks and winking at the mirror to check if the reflection he was seeing was him and it was indeed him.

"WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!" Jaune shouted as he grabbed the mirror to look at it more closely.

It couldn't be happening. All he could see in the mirror was a girl, bags under her eyes, long blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes and above all else, an angelic face! True, the girl was cute and all, but what was she doing in the mirror? Why would someone that cute be in the mirror as he looked in it?

"Jaune,..." Pyrrha called out to her leader. "That's you."

Jaune was perplexed, to say the least. He tried to figure out what the hell is happening but it led him to one simple thing. The Dust Mix. That's what made all this mess! Said Dust Mix managed to change Jaune Arc, the loveable idiotic boy of Beacon Academy, into this short, cute and cuddly girl with long hair and perfect features! He's now as short as Ruby!

After trying to walk around since she wasn't used to her height, Jaune finally managed to calm down and think logically about the situation.

"Okay... So I'm now a girl." Jaune started, sitting down back to the bed she was sleeping on as she looked at her friends. "Does this feel any weirder to you guys?"

"Not really." all of them answered in unison except Yang who answered in a more... sexual way... which caused her a hit on the head by Blake.

"Huh? Why's that?" Jaune asked, surprised by the answer.

"You've always acted like one." Weiss answered Jaune's question almost instantly as the others nodded, agreeing with her.

"Huh?! I do not act like a girl!" Jaune pouted cutely as she glared at Weiss.

"You trip on almost anything even though there's nothing for you to trip on." Pyrrha started.

"You scream in a high-pitched voice which made Yang who's used to guys screaming, think that a girl was screaming instead." Blake added.

"You eat cookies with milk with me almost every night." Ruby joined in but was glared at by the other females.

"And finally,..." Weiss looked at Yang to finish it off.

"Bunny slippers."

The others couldn't help but nod at Yang's oh-so-true answer.

"Wait wait wait! Aside from Blake's answer, all of the others are just... well... personal and pretty common in a man's life!" Jaune defended.

Yang, having been freed from Blake's Gambol Shroud, got up and put an arm over Jaune's shoulders, causing her to yelp out of surprise.

"Jauney, Jauney, Jauney. I'm a Master, knowledgeable of man from in and out- if you know what I mean." Yang winked at her fellow blonde, causing Jaune to blush bright red. "And I could conclude to you that those statements are fairly uncommon for a common man. There are a few, but those are mostly gay dudes or women in disguise."

Jaune wanted to argue, but decided to let it be for now. It's useless to argue with Yang. She knows a lot more of men than Jaune could, even though he is one... Or was.

"Unless..." Pyrrha raised her voice, almost forcibly. "You're into guys."

The Blonde Knight almost fell out of bed from the accusation from her own teammate.

"What are you talking about, Pyrrha?! I like girls! I'm not gay!" Jaune stated confidently.

The answer from her leader eased the pain in Pyrrha's heart. Of course her leader wouldn't be attracted to men. There's no way, right? Yes. It was just her imagination. Besides, she was sure Ren was-

'Oh God no...' Pyrrha did a double take as she realized one simple fact which would literally obliterate her previous thought. 'Ren is also a girl...' she thought as she looked at Ruby. She also had that worried look on her face. The two were thinking the exact same thing.

'Jaune likes girls...'

'Ergo...'

'Ren is a threat!'
