RWBY:Just Yang In There Jaune
Authors Note: As the title probably says this will be an Arlong story. I feel there are not enough of them, and I think it is a cool pairing to follow. Be warned this might turn into M-rated stuff later, thus the M rating, because of Yang, who else really?

2 Weeks after "White Fang" Incident:
Yang didn't like waking up, there was too much to do to get ready, to everyone else, like choosing the right hair style or the right clothes to go with other clothes, hell Weiss took long enough just deciding which white shoes went with which white dress. Yang preferred to just grab which ever clothes were the cleanest and closest to her, and then shower and get dressed, let her natural beauty due everything for her. Walking out of the shower, dressed and ready for the day, she noticed the first of her teammates was waiting for her to finish, unremarkably that was Blake, with a book in her hand. She took a second to look at her partner and friend, and thought about everything that had happened in the last few weeks, while the Vytal festival was in full swing. Yang, Ruby and surprisingly Weiss had reassured Blake that even if she decided to still hide it in public, in their dorm she was free to take her bow off. Just the fact that Blake had done not only that, but keep it off during classes, showed her trust in her teammates, plus it didn't hurt that they'd put Cardin through a wall in the cafeteria after he'd picked on Blake, Cardin still thought it was the beginning of the school year.
"Something wrong?" she heard as she was shaken out of her mental reverie by the voice of her friend, who had her eyes peaking over her book. Shaking her head Yang smiled at Blake, "Nah, just thinking about how cute those cat ears are Bella." Yang responded, adding a wink at the look Blake gave her. "Now if you wish to have any warm water, I'd get it before those two wake up." Yang said pointing at her sister who was sleeping, her arm sticking over the side of her bed, and Weiss facing the wall on her bed, which the princess was always sure would be destroyed by Ruby's bed.
Giving a slight chuckle at Blake zooming passed her to get some of the warm water, she noticed Ruby starting to stir, yawning and looking cute like only a little sister could, but sounding just a bit like her mouth had dried during the night. Smiling Yang threw her pillow at Ruby, which caught her straight in the face, and she ducked out of the dorm before her little sister could follow her. She heard Ruby shout for her to come back and face her fate, then stop abruptly as Weiss's voice carried into the room.
"Uh…hey Yang" She heard from behind her, and stopped for a second, face heating up a little bit, before turning to look at Jaune with a smile. "Lover boy!" she said giving him a hug to quickly hid her blush, and using her semblance she managed to turn it down, good thing about controlling her internal temperature. "How is everything this morning, still hiding from Pyrrha huh?" she said to him. He scratched the back of his head before looking at her eyes, making her heart race for a second, and flashing her one of his quirky smiles. "Nope, that was dealt with a few weeks ago, thanks for the strength training by the way, helped with my sword arm, cut the Ursa's head off you know." He finished with flex of his right arm, the sword arm, making her smirk and shake her head, trying once again to hide her blush. Grabbing his arm, she took off despite his protests, "Come on Jaune let's hit the cafeteria before Ruby and Nora get there!"
They arrived at the cafeteria and got into line, apparently today was omelet day because that's what the main thing was, of course you got the toast and juice and stuff, but the omelet was the BEST here. Once both Yang and Jaune had gotten their food, they sat at a table across from each other, waiting for the whirlwind that would come through in a few minutes known as their teammates. Deciding to start the conversation Yang looked at Jaune, who was just biting into his food and smirked once again, which wasn't that unusual for the girl who was always smiling. "So, you and Pyrrha hit it yet?" she asked, raising her eyebrows suggestively as Jaune sputtered trying to keep his shock, and food, inside.
After calming down he looked at her smirking face with a slight glare in his eyes, "No, we aren't like that, even if I did, we wouldn't be like that because she's already got a boyfriend back home." Making his point with stabbing his omelet he added, "So drop it." Raising his food to his mouth Jaune was about to take a bite before Yang spoke again, "Ohhhhh, so you and Ren then?" Laughing as Jaune looked wide eyed at her in shock, Yang took a sip of her orange juice waiting for Jaune to respond, which he did after a few seconds. "NO! And what is this sudden interest into my non-existent love life? I mean I know we've been training, or more what I'd call you kicking my ass until I manage to gain some strength, but that doesn't mean I can tell you who I fuck." He said pointing his food covered fork at her, careful to not get any on the fiery blonde melee specialist.
Shaking her head Yang Opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off, "And I DO NOT, umm, 'pleasure' myself." He added, making Yang burst out laughing at him, adding a small bang to the table with her fist. "Stop laughing at me, I could ask how you and Blake are doing, am I right?" he said looking at her suddenly clam up through narrowed eyes. "What? Me and Blakey?" she said, suddenly trying to fight her blush, and keep her voice down as she saw Ruby and Nora run into the cafeteria, the rest of the teams following much more subdued. Waving her hand at them to let them know where they were, she turned back to a waiting Jaune. "Nah, she's cute, but I don't swing that way, if you know what I mean." She finished by winking at him, before her sister slammed next to her on the table, barely out of breath.
"Aww, you beat me again!" Nora said, slamming her tray next to Jaune, but talking to a laughing Ruby. "You can't beat a hungry Ruby." The girl said in response before taking a big bite of her breakfast, and drinking half of her juice in one gulp. As Ruby started to cough, Yang saw Nora doing the same, making her pat her sister on the back, Jaune mirroring her actions. "Too much food at one time sis, there will still be some when you go back." As the rest of their teams sat down for a quick breakfast Yang snuck a few looks at Jaune, averting her eyes back to the conversation, and adding her input when needed, whenever Jaune looked at her.
Walking into line again for a second helping, due to her aggressive diet and training regimen, Yang saw Jaune sneak in behind her, ready to continue their conversation. "Following me lover-boy?" she said turning slightly back to him, "I didn't know?" she said adding a wink, which he responded to with a scoff. "Please, you know I want to make sure were good for training today." He said, looking her in the eye. Nodding Yang grabbed an apple and turned back to him, "I'm ready for you anytime you need my help." She said giving him a serious look, before socking him on the shoulder. Nodding back, Jaune got an apple subconsciously, which she noticed, before they went back to the table.
After classes Yang was walking down the hallway, trying to fit an errant book into her bag, while responding to a message on her scroll from one of her friends, when she saw Cardin picking on the bunny Faunus Velvet. Angry she was heading to stop this once and for all, before Jaune's voice filled her ears, and she saw him storming to Cardin from a separate hallway, his back and shoulder facing Yang. "Cardin! Let her go!" Jaune shouted, stopping right in front of them, causing Cardin to look at him. Of course both teams JNPR and RWBY knew of what Jaune did, even with the still unrevealed help of Pyrrha, sometimes Yang thought Jaune should've let Cardin die, but even an asshole like Cardin didn't deserve to die like that. Maybe that's why she liked Jaune so much. "What?" she heard herself whisper, questioning that thought for a second. She focused back on Jaune and Cardin as something Jaune said made Cardin let go of the Faunus's ear.
"What did you say?" Cardin asked, having convinced himself that Jaune saving him a few weeks before was a fluke. Jaune got up near to Cardin, looking him in the eye, "I said stop picking on Faunus, you big jerk!" Chuckling to himself, Cardin suddenly sent his fist into Jaune's face, who forgot his aura once again, a problem Jaune still had, and caught him on the nose, busting it. What Cardin didn't see was Jaune foot swinging towards his own face using the force of Cardin's punch against him. Stunned Cardin took a second to refocus on a bloody Jaune, before his lips curled up, and he raised his fists, ready for a fight. Jaune raised his fists as well, ignoring the stinging from his face, knowing he needed every advantage, and being injured, took one away.
Yang looked in shock as Cardin punched Jaune in the face, her heart stopping for a second as she saw the blood immediately start to flow from Jaune's nose. She saw Jaune use the momentum, probably out of reflex from the sessions he'd had with her, and land a nice roundhouse kick to Cardin, unfortunately not breaking anything. Suddenly angry, Yang's eyes went red, and she went saiyan mode for a second as both Cardin and Jaune faced each other again. Seeing Cardin's buddies moving behind Jaune, ready to attack him from behind, Yang dropped her bag and ran towards the group.
Jaune was set for Cardin to attack again, but suddenly he felt three sets of hands grab him from behind, and locking his arms behind his back as Cardin smirked at him, and landed a punch to his stomach, hard enough to crack a rib. "Well Jauney-boy, looks like you're not as tough as..." he never got to finish his sentence as a brown boot, followed by a plaid and yellow blur landed a flying kick to the side of the face of one of the guys holding Jaune, causing the other two to let go of Jaune. "This is none of your business Blondie." Cardin said looking over Jaune's shoulder, causing Jaune to look as well, and smirk as he saw Yang turning around to look at them, her eyes red. "You attack my friend, and think it isn't my problem?" she said before she looked at Jaune, "I'll get these two, kick Cardin's ass."
Jaune turned back, and just barely ducked under another fist, before kicking out, and catching Cardin's knees, knocking the brute to the floor. He landed a punch to Cardin's face, before the bully pushed him back and stood up. Seeing a bruise start to form on Cardin's face, he knew he needed to end it quick due to blood loss, but didn't know how. While Jaune was thinking over his attack, Yang knocked another of Cardin's cronies out, before deflecting a side kick from the last one. Whipping her leg around she caught the guy, the one with the Mohawk in the ribs, and heard a satisfying crack from him, before using the back of her hand to knock him out hard. Turning back to Jaune, she saw Cardin land a solid punch to Jaune's ribs, and saw Cardin smirk as Jaune coughed up a little blood. Even more angry, she caught Cardin's right fist as he went to punch Jaune's other side, and squeezed hard, hearing a pop, and Cardin's scream, before she lifted her boot into Cardin's chest, knocking the wind from him. Looking back at Jaune she saw that Cardin managed to land a few more hit's on Jaune's face.
"You think you can beat me bitch?" Cardin said as Yang turned back to him, a scowl on her face, "I mean I did kick your boyfriend's ass." Standing up again to face Yang, Cardin smirked thinking that he as a guy, could easily beat her forgetting she was the best melee fighter in the entire school. As Yang looked at Cardin, waiting for him to strike, she noted a few bruises starting to form on Cardin's face, apparently Jaune did okay. "My turn now bitch." Cardin said as he went to Punch Yang in the face with his left fist, before Yang quickly ducked, also dodging a quick right, before she punched him full force in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him again, before landing a big right left combo to his face, shattering his nose, and breaking his jaw, before landing a roundhouse kick to the side of his head, and sending him to sleep.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Yang heard from behind her, and turned to see Professor Goodwitch storming up towards them, anger on her face. 'Let her be angry, Cardin deserved it', Yang said to herself as she turned to a now barely awake Jaune, and she knelt next to him. "Jaune, stay with me man okay." She said as she grabbed him, and lifted him up bridal style in her arms, noting his weight increase, before turning to take him to the infirmary. "MS. LONG!" she heard Goodwitch calling out her as she stopped, "Just WHERE do you think you are going?" Turning back to the headmistress she left the anger on her face. "Helping protect my friend, who got into a fight protecting Velvet from these idiots!" she said, not caring at her raised voice, or the shock on Goodwitch's face. "Basically he was stopping them from harassing Velvet, Cardin Punched him, he defended himself, and then Cardin's goons snuck up behind Jaune, and were holding him so Cardin could hit him." Looking back toward Jaune, her eyes misted for a second before she looked back, angry again. "He was doing YOUR job!" she said before she turned back to the direction the infirmary was in, and continued carrying Jaune, her anger dissipating as worry filled her, not for her position in the school, but for Jaune's wellbeing, he'd lost a lot of blood, and was still barely conscious.
She sat and waited by Jaune's bedside after the doctor told her he'd used the healing dust to do what he could, which was actually not as much as she had thought, apparently Jaune's nose and ribs had broken clean, and were able to be reset, and were now healed due to the regeneration properties of healing dust. What worried the doctor was Jaune's loss of blood, he'd lost nearly 3 and 1/2 pints of blood during the fight and due to his atypical blood type, replacement blood was hard to find. Luckily Yang was a universal donor, and she gave as much as she could, about a pint and a half, she'd wanted to give more, but the doctor told her no because he didn't want her to get more woozy than she already was. So here she was sitting next to Jaune's bed, at about 6 at night when she should be in her physical training class with her team, and team JNPR.
"Hey sis" She heard, and turned around to find Ruby, and the rest of teams RWBY and JNPR there as well, varying degrees of worry and anger on their faces. "Hey guys" Yang said, her voice sounding odd, even to her, before she turned back to Jaune, trying to keep the tears from coming out of her eyes. Whipping her face to rid the offending liquid, she felt the bandages, apparently during the fight she'd busted open a few of her knuckles as well. Feeling them walk around to surround Jaune, who was still knocked out thanks to the doctors, she opened her mouth again. "He did well, got in a few hits, and bruised that bastard up, even after Cardin broke his nose." She stayed focused on Jaune, not trusting herself to look at the others, who were looking at her. "Unfortunately where one idiot is, the rest will follow, they tried to make it a 4-on-1 fight, and I couldn't let that happen." Looking up into Ruby's face, she felt the tears come to her eyes again, before she shook her head. "All because Cardin was picking on Velvet again, I swear that asshole hates them for no reason. All Jaune was trying to do was help her."
All was silent for a few minutes after that, until a cough interrupted them. "Ms. Long, I would like to have a word please." They heard, and looked to the door to see the headmaster, Professor Ozpin there. Turning back to Jaune, about to refuse, Ruby grabbed her attention, "Go, we got Jaune, we'll watch him for you." Hearing the confirmation from the rest of the teams, Yang took one last look at Jaune, before nodding, and rising out of her chair with a sigh. Turning to follow Ozpin she walked out of the room, and walked a pace behind him, defiant and head held high before they went into his office. She saw Goodwitch standing, scroll in hand, and waiting as she sat down across from Ozpin, who took a sip of his coffee and looked at her for a second, before he looked at his scroll. Ready to defend herself, Yang waited as Ozpin gathered his thoughts, before he looked at her again. "I, understand you were involved in an, altercation earlier today." He stated, and Yang had to mentally roll her eyes, 'ever the diplomat'. "You mean the long time in coming ass-kicking team CRDL deserved? Then yes." She responded, just as even.
Ozpin sighed and shook his head at the girl in front of him, 'to be so young' he thought. "Now Ms. Long you know school policy on fighting." He said before she scoffed, drawing the ire of both Ozpin and Goodwitch. "I also know you know the punishment." He said looking at her through narrowed eyes, waiting for her response, he didn't have to wait for long. "And just what is this schools policy on racism?" she responded causing Ozpin and Goodwitch to look at each other, before turning around. "Detention, and if it continues, expulsion, and tuition and costs are not returned." He said with his eyebrows raised. "Then why are Cardin and his team still here?" Yang responded, "Ever since day one they have done nothing but pick on the Faunus here, especially poor Velvet whom Jaune stepped into protect, doing YOUR jobs, which lead to the fight." She said, and was surprised to see their eyes go wide. "What?" Ozpin said, and Yang looked him right in the eyes, "You heard me, and then when they made it a 4-on-1 fight, a mugging against Jaune, I HAD to step in and help him, so expel me if you wish, but the point of this academy and this job is to do the RIGHT thing, because the cops can't, they can't fight Grimm, hell they can't even handle a few dust shop thefts, what makes you think they'll enforce the rights that are going through the courts to help the Faunus?"
"Ruby, I'm sure she'll be fine." Weiss said, noticing her distracted teammate, who while worried for Jaune, was also worried for her sister, Ozpin had already expelled two first years for fighting. Nodding, hoping Weiss was right Ruby turned towards Jaune who was still out, and rubbed her hand through the hair on his head, before looking at team JNPR, all of whom were angry. "Hey guys, let's get some coffee or something okay," she said, "I don't think being angry will help him much." Nodding the three patted Jaune, and said words of encouragement to Jaune, before following the red headed 15 year old out of the room, leaving only Weiss and Blake, both of whom sat beside Jaune in the vacated seats, looking at him, and then each other. "At least he faced Cardin." Blake said, obviously thinking about the poor bunny Faunus girl. Nodding Weiss looked back at Jaune, "Yang said he landed a few hits in right? That's good, means he's improving." Blake nodded too, and returned her gaze as well. "You know," Weiss said, causing Blake too look at her while she focused on Jaune, "I would've fought Cardin too." The heiress said, turning to Blake, a tear forming, "The Faunus have enough to deal with, without that asshole." Blake slowly got up, and walked over to Weiss, and hugged her. "I'm so sorry Blake, I'm so so sorry." Weiss said, meaning more than just their fight a few weeks prior. A cough interrupted them, and they turned to see Yang.
She heard Blake and Weiss talking, and had to smile, her team was finally a team again. Walking in quietly as her partner and teammate hugged, she cocked her hip, and placed a small smirk on her face. Coughing to get their attention, she kept the smirk on her face, "Seems you two are having a good time, can I join in?" she said, and had to laugh at the shock on Weiss's face, and the glare from Blake. Sitting next to them, in the closest seat to Jaune she looked up as a composed and angry Weiss looked back. "How dare you ruin this moment" Weiss said in a whisper, trying to contain her embarrassment. Laughing softly Yang shook her head, "Moment? With Blake? I thought you would've had one with Ruby, am I right?" she said raising her eyebrows suggestively, and adding in a low growl to further the innuendo. The heiress was shaking now, and her face red. "That was only a dream" Weiss responded angrily, before looking at Yang and Blake, and stood up to pat Jaune and tell him to get better, before she left the room.
Blake looked at Yang and shook her head, amusement overcoming the anger her partner regularly drew out. Looking at her partner she let her smile drop for a second, "So, did Ozpin?" she said, not finishing her sentence, letting Yang fill in the spots. Shaking her own head Yang looked back to her from Jaune for a second, smirk on her face, "Months detention, extenuating circumstances." Her shoulders shaking from laughing so hard, Yang had to stop for a second and catch her breath, "Cardin however" she let that one hang. Blake smiled while shaking her head, then got up and gently hugged her partner, who by now was looking back at the blonde haired boy who was still unconscious in the bed next to them. Blake felt Yang shaking again, and smelt the distinct smell of tears coming from her partner, and put more support into the hug as she felt her partner about to break.
"I know, I mean I KNOW that he's going to be okay, but, why hasn't he woken up? Why can't this just be over with already?" Yang said, and Blake had no good answer for her friend. She saw Yang turn her head to look her in the eyes, and Blake could read the worry and apprehension, the fear in her eyes. "I don't know Yang, but I do know this, he'll be much better off, with you by his side, supporting him and helping him." Blake then noticed that Jaune's eyes were starting to open. Smirking she looked back at Yang, "Speak of the devil, and surely enough, he rises." She said as she let Yang go, and slowly walked out the door, looking back in time to see Yang slowly turn her head, then do a double take as she saw a smile on Jaune's face. As she closed the door, she heard the excited yell from Yang, and decided to "guard" the two from their teams.
Yang looked at Jaune for a minute, her mind still not fully there with what she was seeing, but was broken as she let out a happy scream, and went to hug him, but was stopped as she remembered his injuries, and the doctor's recommendation to take it easy on any bones that had needed fixing for a few days. Still bubbling with excitement she saw him looking around for some water, or his team, or what? "Water" was his answer as he looked at her, hastily she grabbed one of the plastic cups by the sink, and filled it with some lukewarm water, and returned to him. She watched him sip the water until it was done, then she took the cup, and set it on the bedside next to him, and turned back to his quizzical stare. "Thanks Yang, but…why are you here?" he said with an eyebrow raised, "I mean I know were friends and all, and you help me train but, I thought…" he was shut up as her hand covered his mouth. Looking around conspiratorially she waited for a second, "Your team they…" she paused, "they…" at this Jaune rolled his eyebrows knowing she was messing with him, "they went to get coffee, they were too angry with Cardin to have any good vibes that would help you heal." Looking at her he raised his eyebrow again, "And what about you?" he didn't need to squint to see the red on her face.
Yang felt the heat rise up onto her face, as she looked away for a second trying to make the blush leave before looking back at him, "Well, I got a month's worth of detention, with you by the way, anyway as I was saying, a month's worth of detention due to turning Cardin's face to baby food." At his look she smiled some more, before looking around still trying to kill the blush on her face, before she felt his hand grab onto hers. "Yang," Jaune said, drawing her attention to his face, which was still slightly bruised, not EVERYTHING was repaired, only the big stuff. "Yes?" she said, wondering why he'd said her name, "I was wondering, why you helped me out in that fight?" Shaking her head Yang took a second to respond, "Your my friend Jaune, I couldn't sit there and let them do that to you, not when you were only doing what was right." Normally that would've sufficed for even Ruby, especially when Yang added in the smile, but she saw Jaune's eyes, they held…something in them that made her rethink she'd gotten off free. "Nope" was Jaune's response, 'UGH! SO MUCH LIKE RUBY!' Yang thought, before letting out a shaky breath, and looking down.
Jaune watched her as she seemed to sag a little bit, and he felt something twist, he didn't like that look from Yang. Shaking her arm, he drew her attention, "Why's the real reason?" he asked with a smile, which turned to a frown as she didn't respond. Thinking he said or done something Jaune went to apologize before he felt a pair of lips lock gently onto his, surprising because if the speed she went from sitting next to, to kissing him was indication, she had Ruby's speed as well. They stayed like that for a minute before she let go, a big blush on her face, and looking anywhere but at him. Smiling at the brawler who was now acting shyer than Ruby, Jaune squeezed her hand, drawing her attention, and smiled. Seeing her eyes light up, he used his right hand to pull her down, all while looking her in the eyes, and kissed her as she gently fitted her arms around him, giving him a gental hug. The moment was perfect, until they heard an "AWWWW!" from Ruby along with about 4 or five camera clicks. Turning their heads, Yang and Jaune had a look of shock on their faces at the smiling/or smirking faces of their teammates. Yang though really hard about beating them all up, and breaking their cameras, before she realized she was too tired to give a shit and Jaune was so comfy. Laying her head down on Jaune's chest she weakly flipped them off, before looking at Jaune again.
Jaune currently looking at Ruby, Blake and Pyrrha's smirking faces, and then the smiling faces of Ren and Nora before he dropped his head back, energy still not their yet to deal with them, as he saw Yang flip them off, and then drop her head to his chest, he instinctively wrapped her closer to him, eliciting some more "awe's". "Yes, yes, now no more from the peanut gallery" he heard Yang mumble, and their friends closed the door. He held Yang like that for a few minutes, both extremely comfortable, before he poked her rib, earning a small glare at which he laughed. "You know, you never answered" Yang said, standing up, and leaving Jaune with a sense of loss, before he gave a smirk. "And YOU never asked." He said with a fake smug look on his face, earning her 'excuse me look' before he laughed. "Yes." Was all he said before she captured him in a hug again, slightly stronger than last time, obviously toned down, before they kissed again, smiles on their faces.
