Hey there, welcome to my first Fanfic about RWBY, this story will be about Yang and a old friend of her childhood and how their friendship develop into something else, by the way this story takes place since the beginning of volume 2, so I hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 1: Jet Ivory
The world of Remnant, a place where the balance between Chaos and Order is kept by hunters and huntresses, such balance has been kept for many years now, teaching each generations the values of truth, justice, and bravery so they can become the future heroes of remnant, that even the youngest ones are aching to become hunters one day, but truth be told, the reality of being a hunter might strip any trace of hope even from the most innocent child.
It was a nice day in the island of patch, two kids ran through the prairie playfully chasing each other and laughing, a white haired boy with dark azure eyes ran behind a gold blonde girl, he chased the girl until both arrived to a tree and the girl shouted, as she looked to her friend with her beautiful lilac eyes. "Too slow Jet, you have to be a bit faster if you want to win."
The boy reached the tree, panting and sweating; he looked at his friend and replied as he regained his breath. "No fair, you started running first, I want a rematch Yang!"
Yang giggled as she playfully placed her hands behind her back and replied. "Alright sore loser, first one to climb to that branch wins."
With those words both kids started climbing the tree as fast as they could, but still Yang was the first one to reach the branch, she laughed and stated. "I win again, you really need more practice Jet" She then offered her hand to Jet so she could help him to climb, Jet looked at Yang and kindly accepted her help and sat beside Yang as both of them watched the sunset together.
Yang sat there in silence for a long time when she suddenly sighed and stated. "Jet, can I tell you a secret."
Jet was confused by what just Yang said, they both were really close friends, but she never told a secret to him. "Sure thing Yang, what is it." He replied as he heard her with all care.
"Look I know we both wish to become a hunter, and that you are going to Sanctum and I will be going to Signal, but can you promise me something." Yang said as she started fidgeting with her fingers.
Jet was really nervous about what Yang was about to say, he swallowed a bit of his saliva and replied. "What is it Yang."
"That when we get to be hunters, we both will go to Beacon be teammates!" Yang said smiling at Jet, relieving his nervousness.
Jet smiled and replied. "Sure thing Goldilocks, he will be best friends forever, and we will become the best hunters Remnant ever saw."
Both kids smiled and started laughing hoping some day they were going to become the strongest hunters in all Remnant, but then Yang suddenly stopped laughing and said. "Oh I almost forgot, Jet close your eyes, and no peeking right."
Jet closed his eyes as he laughed and could feel Yang hands going around his shoulders, then he heard Yang saying. "Alright, open your eyes." Jet followed Yang's orders and opened his eyes and found a silver necklace around his neck, Yang smiled as she showed Jet she had the same necklace and said. "With this necklace we will always remember one another, even if we are far from one another."
Jet chuckled as he watched the necklace and replied. "You know Yang, below all that tomboy attitude of yours there is a sweet girl."
Yang frowned playfully and with the same manner she punched Jet almost throwing him off the tree, she then stood up in the branch and said. "Let's climb to the top of the tree!" Yang wanted to do another race with Jet, but as soon she stepped on a branch to climb the tree, the branch snapped causing her to fall off.
Jet shouted Yang's name as he tried to reach her to grab her, but she was already to far from him, Jet watched Yang as she felled down and only one thought came to his mind… save her. Jet jumped off the branch and with the blink of an eye he teleported right behind Yang and instantly grabbed the girl on his arms and landed on his feet. Jet stood there with Yang in his arms questioning himself what just happened, everything happened so fast he couldn't tell what happened, he then realized he had Yang in his arms, both kids looked at each other for a long time, a slight blush could be noticed on Yang's face as she looked away while Jet let her on the ground and looked away as well.
"What was all that Jet?" Yang asked as she looked at her friend.
Jet looked at Yang and was just as confused like her. "I don't know, I just thought about saving you, and the last thing I remember is that I had you in my arms."
Yang thought about it for a second and said. "I think you just discovered your semblance, you know what makes all hunters and huntresses special."
Jet looked at his hands and then at Yang and replied. "Do you really think is that?"
"What else could it be!? Man you just discovered your semblance, and you did it before me, I guess you win that one." Yang said playfully punching Jet's arm.
Both smiled and laughing despite the accident that almost happened, but suddenly stopped when Yang heard her father calling her name. "Man, I have to go Jet, but I promise we will play other day alright, see you later alligator."
Jet just waved his hand while Yang ran towards his father, and left with him, Jet stood there for a moment and whispered. "I will be always there to take care of you…"
Years later
"Did your father really send all this?" A girl with a white hair and white dress said as she placed some boxes on her bed.
A beautiful blonde haired girl, carrying a lot of boxes just chuckled and replied as she dropped the boxes in the ground. "Yeah, he said he needed to make a lot of space on the house, so he sent these boxes with our junk so we could decide what should he throw, sell, or keep."
"You really have a lot of old things here." A black haired girl with a bow on her head said as she helped her friend to organize everything.
Then from one of the boxes the youngest member of the team, Ruby Rose, popped out and said. "We really liked to collect stuff, oh look I found my old scarf."
Yang, the girl with the blonde hair, picked up a tiny box, unaware it was ripped and from it a picture and a silver necklace fell to the ground, Yang heard the sound of the necklace hitting the ground and looked down and saw the picture and the necklace there, she kneeled down and picked both items and stared at them silently. Yang's friends looked at her and then at each other, they notice how she stared at the items, like if something she lost was back with her the room was filled with an awkward silence until Ruby decided to talk.
"Ugh Yang, is everything alright?" Ruby asked as she walked towards her sister.
Yang snapped out of her day dream and replied. "Oh, yeah, I was just… Is that… let's keep ordering this stuff."
Ruby was not really convinced about what Yang said, so she used her speed to take the picture from Yang's hand to see what was it about, as soon Yang realized Ruby took the photo, she tried to get it back from the hands of her sister but she jumped to the top of her bunk bed and looked at the photo. Ruby then widened her eyes when she realized why Yang was so melancholic, the young girl jumped off the bed and said. "You really miss him don't you?"
Yang sighed and sat on her bed and replied. "It's have been a long time since the last time I saw him."
Ruby felt bad for taking the photo from Yang, so she returned the photo, sat beside her sister and hugged her in hoped to make her feel better.
"Wait, him, who is "Him"?" Weiss, the girl with the white hair said as she sat beside Ruby.
Yang sighed and showed both Blake and Weiss the photo, the photo was a of younger Yang beside a young man wearing a white shirt and black scarf, hugging each other as they smiled, she then proceeded to explain her friends who is the guy with her in the photo. "This is a photo of me and Jet; he used to be my best friend in Patch."
"What happened to him?" Blake asked feeling a bit curious about the man.
"I don't know, this was the last day I saw him, I was going to Signal while he was going to attend to Sanctum." Yang explained as she looked at the photo and remembered the days she and Jet used to play as kids.
Weiss stood there and thought about it for a moment and a idea came to her mind. "Oh I know who we can ask for some information."
Yang suddenly stood up and asked. "Really? Who Weiss?"
Weiss stood there with her arms crossed and asked back. "Who do we know that also comes from Sanctum academy?" Weiss stood there as she watched her teammates looking at each other in confusion and then looking at her. "Seriously? Pyrrha girls, she is also from Sanctum."
With those words Yang rushed to the front dorm and started knocking the door almost breaking it, until Jaune opened it and asked Yang. "Yang, what is it? Is there something wrong?"
"Can I talk to Pyrrha Jaune?" Yang asked trying to hold her anxiety about knowing what happened to her best friend.
Jaune nodded and called for Pyrrha as he returned back inside the room, then of a few seconds Pyrrha came to the door and greeted Yang. "Yang, how may I help you?" She gently asked as she stared at Yang.
Yang showed Pyrrha the photo of her and Jet and asked. "Do you know this guy Pyrrha?" As Yang said those words Ruby, Weiss, and Blake also appeared behind Yang trying to hear Pyrrha's answer.
Pyrrha took the photo in her hands and stared at it for a few seconds, she tried to identify the guy in the photo and then it hit her. "Oh, he is Jet Ivory, he attended Sanctum Academy with me."
Yang was really excited to know more about the whereabouts of her best friend, so she smiled widely and asked. "Do you know what happened to him, is he in Haven, Shade, or Atlas?"
Pyrrha sighed as soon she heard that question and said. "I'm afraid I don't know that information, when we studied together he never mentioned what academy he was going to attend when he finished Sanctum." Pyrrha returned the photo to Yang and was about to close the door, but then she remembered something odd about Jet. "Actually, I think he never filled in for any academy, I even remember something odd about him, when he first started in Sanctum he was dedicated, he attended every class on time, and he trained every day, but when we were about to end our studies he started being lazy, he always stayed asleep on class, and he rarely trained for his final exam."
Yang was confused, the Jet she knew never acted that way, he was always was so competitive and passionate about his dream of being a hunter, she remembered she and Jet always where competitive between them. "That don't sound like Jet, he would never act like that."
"I really don't know what happen to him, he started being like that out from nowhere, and I'm so sorry I couldn't help you to find your friend, I hope you can find something about him." Pyrrha said trying to make Yang feel better, and then closing the door.
Yang sighed as she stared at the photo; she really wondered what happened to Jet, being lazy was never like him, maybe he gave up on his dream to be a hunter, maybe he thought he will never be good enough to be a hunter, or maybe that wasn't his dream only hers. Yang sighed and looked at her friends. "Girls, I think I will go and walk around, I really need to get my mind clear."
Ruby thought about following her sister, but Weiss stopped her and told her it would be better to leave her with her own thoughts. Yang walked around the academy and thought about going to the city of Vale to have her thoughts of Jet cleared, Yang walked through the streets of Vale and found a bench nearby to sit and think a bit. Yang sighed as she sat down on the bench and looked up to the sky, she was so immersed on her thoughts she didn't realized a guy about her same age walked towards her, the guy wore a a pair of black pants, a white long sleeved button shirt with a black long coat over it, a white long scarf around his neck, a pair of black boots, and a pair of black gloves in each hand.
The man sat beside Yang and took out his phone and started browsing the device as he had a glance of Yang and notice she was a bit down, he barely knew the girl beside him, so he doubted about talking to her, but he finally said. "Hey there, is there something wrong, you seem a bit down lady."
Yang snapped out of her day dreaming to notice a guy sitting right beside her, the first thing she noticed was the guys spiky white hair, it was really familiar to her, but she looked at the guy and replied. "I was just thinking about someone, and old friend of mine."
The man just chuckled and stated. "He must be really important to make a beauty like you day dream like that."
Yang blushed when she heard what the man just said, that was really bold, he barely knew Yang and was already flirting with her, so she replied. "Excuse me, look I bet you are trying to be nice at me, but I barely know you!"
The man chuckled as he shook his head from one side from another and said. "You haven't changed a bit Goldilocks."
"Excuse me!" Yang shouted as she stood up and stepped away from the guy. "You just appeared from nowhere, sat beside a girl you barely know, and start flirting with her, you are asking for a beating dude."
The guy chuckled as he stood up and said as he took a pair of swords, one black colored and the other white colored. "Alright Blondie, but I have to warn you, I won't go easy on you."
Yang couldn't believe what was happening, she could feel her blood raging, she really wasn't in the mood to deal with a jerk, but she have never turned down a fight, and that was not going to be the first time, she activated Ember Celica and took her stance to fight the guy that started flirting with her. "I'm going to enjoy this."
"Give me your worst cutie." The guys said sending Yang over her edge and making her rush towards him.
Yang tried to punch the guy with her fist, but he easily avoided her attacks and kicked him towards a light pole, the yellow haired girl stood up again and loaded her gauntlets and started shooting at the guy. The man just smiled and used his swords to deflect the bullets and rushed towards Yang and used his swords to inflict some damage and finally kicking Yang away from him, he chuckled as he placed one of his sword over his shoulders and walked towards Yang and stated. "You really need to do more than that if you want to teach me a lesson Goldie, or maybe you like strange dudes flirting with you."
Yang was raging at this point, her eyes started to turn red and her hair was surrounded by a blazing fire aura, the guy chuckled and said. "Wow, you sure are a hot babe; you get it, because you are on fire." And with those words he made Yang reach her peak.
"WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP!?" Yang shouted releasing all her rage and focusing in a single punch, she rushed towards the guy and was sure it was going to be a direct hit, but in the last moment the guy disappeared right in front of her and appeared right beside her, grabbed her wrist before her fist could even touch the wall and pulled her into a hug.
Yang was shocked by what just happened, her rage suddenly disappeared when she realized who that guy was, the only guy who knew she disliked the name of Goldilocks, the only guy that matched her fighting style, the only guys that is able to teleport. Yang smiled as she started to cry over the guy's chest and said. "You are a jerk Jet."
"You are a hot head Yang, but I like you that way." Jet said looking at Yang and giving her thumbs up while smiling.
Yang cleaned the tears of her eyes and smiled as she punched Jet's shoulder, Jet laughed as he rubbed his shoulders and stated. "Yep, same old Yang, look at you Goldie, you still the same but with no ponytails."
Yang smiled and said. "I like my hair this way better, but look at you." Yang then was able to fully get a good look at her old friend. "You have changed a lot, what's with the scarf."
Jet laughed and replied. "Well, I wanted something to look like you Yang, besides is the only way to keep this in a safe place." Jet then showed the necklace Yang gave him when they where kids.
Yang smiled when Jet showed her the necklace she gave him when they where kids, but then she remembered something she wanted to ask Jet, she frowned and punched his shoulder again and asked. "Speaking of which, what happened to you, all this time without knowing a bit about you, what happened in Sanctum and why you didn't came to Beacon like you promised."
Jet chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head and replied. "It's a long story, what if I tell you in our way to beacon."
"Beacon? Wait, why do you want to go to Beacon?" Yang asked while Jet wrapped his arm around her and walked beside her back to Beacon.
Jet simply smiled and said. "I have a promise to fulfill."
