God damn it been a long time since I've been on fanfiction. I know some of you want to know what the fuck was I doing. It simple, I was losing my drive to write stories because of college, and now I'm in college. So don't expect me to do story updates super fast. So I'm sorry for that.
So anyway, to get things cleared up, I just want you to know that this will be a Jaune x Salem. I'm saying this right now, I'm the first person doing this kind of couple simply because no one else is doing. If you don't like it, don't read it.
I already have Jaunes abilities read to be used. Jaune will have two weapons. One from Tales of Zestiria and on from Tales of berseria and his semblance will be something from Berserk and something that I thought of. What's his semblance going to be, you're just going to have to read.
Also, I'm sorry if this fanfiction seems forced or rush, Rwby does not center around Jaune that much, so I will try to make it as longs as possible while trying to make it natural while adding all the characters in the story. So bare with me if it does not seem like a Jaune centric Fanfic.
Enough with the pointless reading and let's get this shit started!
(Dream)
"NO, STAY AWAY FROM ME!" The young six-year-old, blond haired boy screamed in defense as held his arms out. It the ending, it didn't stop the monster that was coming close to him. It was a traditional, bipedal forms of lycanthropes, more commonly known as a Beowulf. It stood on their hind legs, albeit with a slouch, and is extremely muscular. They have pitch-black fur and red eyes. On their face is a bone-like mask with red markings, and they have bone spikes protruding from their arms, back, and knees. Their fingers and toes are tipped with long, sharp, white claws.
The beast was snarling as it moved closer and closer to the child. "NOOOOOOOO!" The screamed as he covered his head, curled up his body and laid down on the down as he was crying. The Beowulf opened his mouth and bit at the child. "Huh?" The child looked up to see that he was floating, or more like dangling since the Grimm was holding his shirt by the mouth.
"W-w-what are y-you doing?" The boy as in fear as he was still being hanged in the air. The Grimm didn't answer, not that it could. Instead, the Grimm just ran and ran as if it was going to somewhere or someone. "W-where are we g-going?" The boy asked again but didn't get an answer.
(scene change: dark mountains)
After what it seems hours and hours of running and running, the Beowulf finally reached its destination. What it reached to seemed mountains, a purple mountain with dark red and purple crystals, and a red like gloomy mist that surround the entire mountains. The boy felt, even more, fear as if this place held death in its grasp. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't, but he wanted to yell, but he couldn't, he wanted to make, but couldn't. Just the presence of this place would freeze the hearts of many.
The Beowulf moved closer to a mountain and started to climb up it, making sure that boy didn't get injured as it scaled up the wall. Once it reached the top of the mountain, the Beowulf softly dropped the boy to the ground. "Ah, so you finally brought him to me." Said a dark, yet feminine voice.
The boy looked to see a woman with skin that is a deathly pallor, covered with tortuous, deep red and purple veins that run up her arms and face. The sclerae of her eyes are jet black and her irises glow red. She has a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead. She wears a very long black cloak with red designs resembling eyes. She has white hair formed into a bun with six offshoots from which ornaments are suspended.
"Welcome Jaune Arc, my love." The woman started to move closer to him, which caused Jaune to move back. Once he moved back for a little, he felt his back touch the leg of something he forgot was still here. Jaune slowly looked back to see that the Beowulf was still here. "AHHHHHH" Jaune screamed as he tried to push the Grimm away, but something crazy happened once he touched the Grimms legs. The Grimm started to turn into a black, white, and red energy, then that same energy started to flow into Jaune, almost like it was absorbing it.
Jaune looked at his hand in surprise and didn't notice that the woman was now looking it an elated expression. "Amazing" Jaune looked back at the woman who was now closer to him. "At such a young age, your able to use at least half of your semblance. You really are the one I was waiting for, my Jaune Arc." The woman said with a dark, creepy and loving smile.
"W-who are you? And how do y-you know my name?" Jaune questioned as he finally said his first words since he came to this place.
"Who am I you ask? You can call me Salem." Salem introduces herself to the Jaune as she picked him up. "I have been watching you for a long time now. I have been waiting for you." Salem explains to Jaune.
"W-why?"
"It's simple really. What other couldn't see in you, I saw it clear as any day. The potential that your family has abandoned is something that I will never let go." Jaune looked at her with a surprised looked, but then he looked down in tears as he remembers his family abandoning him because he was weak. He wasn't special like his sister, he didn't have a power aura and semblance like his father, and he couldn't use magic like his mother. It because of these things, he was abandoned by them. "Do you want to be strong? Do you want to be unstoppable? Do you want to be a force that other would tremble in their shoes because of your presence? ...Do you want to be loved more than anyone in this world?" Salem asked him.
Jaune quickly looked up and nodded his head. This were all the things that he wanted. He did not want to be weak, useless, helpless. He wanted to become strong, stronger than anybody. He wanted to make a difference for himself. He wanted... REVENGE!
Salem smiled at his answer and held him closer. "Then closes your eyes and sleep. From now on, you will serve on me, my love." Salem met her lips with Jaune as he closed his eyes. It was because of the event, everything will change.
(Scene change: Airship)
"Holy Shit!" Jaune suddenly woke. "Man, I haven't had that dream in a while." Jaune rubbed his face as he went to the bathroom. As he got to the bathroom, Jaune looked at his appearance. As of now, he was seventeen years. The upper part of his head was covered by a black sash that covered his left eye but showed his right eye and a bit of his blonde hair. He wore a jet black shirt with a blood red hoodie. On the back of that hoodie was a design of a spider web with a tarantula. The tarantula has a skull on the lower part of its body. The skull's mouth was open and had a few cracks on it. Some of the cracks were huge and it looked like blood was coming out. He wore pure white pants with a pitch black vein design on it. He also wore red gloves and black and white combat boots.
He also had a sword in its sheath that was holding on his lower back. The sheath was the same length as length as the blade, which was seven feet long. The handle of the sword was red and black and was three feet long, making the entire sword ten feet long. (a/n: It's basically Rokuro sword, Kurogane, the sword that he keeps on his back, but the Kurogane that I gave Jaune is taller, nothing special.) Next, he had a white gun holster that was holding a black gun with a silver cross design. (a/n: It's basically Zaveid gun, Siegfried.)
Overall, he made a huge change for himself over the eleven years he spent with Salem.
"Salem, I know you're watching. Why did you show me that dream again?" Jaune asked with a bit of annoyance.
The appearance of Salem appeared in the mirror that Jaune was looking. "What are you talking about, my love? I didn't do anything. That was all you trying to remind yourself of who you are, or rather your semblance." Salem explained to Jaune.
"Oh, I see." Jaune rubbed the back of his head. His semblance has been getting to him. As the days past, his semblance has become more... ferocious, brutal, hungry. He didn't know why it was becoming like. He did ask Salem about it, but all she said was it's natural in his case and to let it guide him.
Jaune couldn't help but sigh at his situation, but he was brought out of his thoughts as he felt the airship rumbled a little. "I guess its time for me get off." Jaune looks back at Salem. "If you see anyone you know or if anything pops ups, let me know." A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Jaunes face as a white and black aura surrounds him. "I want to have real good time when I get my hands on them."
"Of course Jaune." Salem disappeared with a dark smile on her face. Jaune quickly calmed himself down as he walked out of the bathroom. The fun was about to begin.
(Scene change: Beacon)
"So this is beacon? Damn, this place is huge for an academy." Jaune analyzed as he started to walk around. He was looking to see if there was anyone strong. As far as he could see, there were only a little bit, the rest were all just boring. He couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
He then heard the sound of an explosion and someone yelling that brought his attention back down to Remnant, and he automatically turned to see what was going on. Some girl in a white dress with white hair was currently yelling at some poor red-hooded girl lying on the ground, a small crater surrounding her.
Jaune idly adjusted his weapon slightly. He observed with a bored expression as black haired girl stopped, picking up a vial of Dust before approaching two arguing girls.
She is a young girl of light complexion. She has long, wavy black hair and her eyes are amber colored, complemented by light purple eye shadow flaring backward. Her eyes are slightly tilted upwards at the ends, giving her a somewhat catlike appearance.
She wears a black ribbon tied in the form of a bow and wears black low-heeled boots and stockings that start off black at her hips, but gradually fade to purple as they near her shoes. On the outside of her stockings, there are white emblems that are most likely belladonna flowers. She wears black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm.
She also wears a black buttoned vest with coattails and a white sleeveless undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that may be connected to her shirt, although it is partly obscured by the vest. Her shorts have a zipper on the front of each leg, but it is unknown if these zippers serve a purpose or are simply decorative. Her zippers are emblazoned with the YKK logo similar to the real life Japanese zipper manufacturer. She also wears a detached scarf-like collar around her neck. She also has a gray magnetic plate strapped to her back like a backpack, for holstering her weapon.
He watched as the girl exchanged words with them and he smiled in amusement as the white-clad girl stomped off in a huff. 'So a Faunus in hiding and a spoiled rich girl. Just my day.' The red hooded girl turned to the black haired Faunus, but the black haired girl had already begun walking away.
Thus Jaune watched as the now distressed girl simply fell back first to the ground. Jaune sighed again approached the girl.
"Welcome to Beacon…" He heard her murmur to herself. Jaune held out his hand to the girl.
"Well, it seems Beacon has quite the way of welcoming newbie's hmm?" He spoke, the girl's silver eyes opening in an instant as she regarded him hopefully. "So are you going to get up, or is the ground that comfortable?" He asked with a bored look.
Ruby sprang to her feet, silver eyes blinking up at the blond owlishly. "No, the ground isn't comfortable. It's hard and rough and I don't like it!" She whined slightly. The black, red tinted, haired girl beamed as her possible new friend snorted in amusement. "I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose." She said, looking at him expectantly as she grabbed his hand. The moment she touched his hand, Jaune felt it. This girl has potential, potential to be something great. Potential to be something amazing. The potential for him to eat, cut, destroy and devour.
"Don't hesitate. Rip her apart. Bath in blood. Devour her flesh. Nothing in this world will stop. You have the power. Use it and kill her." A dark and calm voice said to him. This voice was not Salem, but something else. This voice was his semblance. One of the reasons why Jaune was like this.
"Jaune Black." Jaune introduces himself to Ruby in a bit of a strained voice.
Moments later, the silver eyed girl and the blond haired boy walked side by side. Ruby speaking to the blond about how her sister abandoned her.
"And then she just ditches me! What type of sister does that!?"
"Evidently, one who seems to be trying too hard in forcing you to socialize, although, if you ask me socializing is a bit overrated," Jaune remarked casually. Ruby nodded in agreement, silver eyes beaming.
"Exactly! I mean, I don't need to socialize! Not when I have my baby to talk for me!" She exclaimed, pulling out her weapon. She pushed a button, and it shifted until finally, it became a large scythe. Jaune blinked.
"That quite a weapon you have there," Jaune said with a small bit of excitement in his voice.
"Thanks, it also a customizable high-velocity impact sniper rifle," She said, cocking it back. Jaune whistled.
"Impressive," He remarked with a bit of a smile.
"Thanks!" Ruby said again, beaming brightly at the blond. "Soooo can you show me yours?" Jaune smirked slightly.
"Sure why not?" With that said, the blonde unsheathed his sword, holding it by its handle as he revealed the red and black. "This is one of my weapons, Kurogane." Ruby eyed it curiously.
"Is it just a sword?" She asked.
"It's a special kind of sword that is designed for me," Jaune said. "You see, I can't control my aura. No matter how much I trained or what I study in the use of aura, my aura runs wild like a crazy and rabid animal. But Kurogane helps me control my aura." Jaune explained.
Ruby's eyes widen at Jaunes explanation. "Really? What can your other weapon do?" Ruby asked as she looked at his gun holster.
Jaune pulls Siegfried out of its holster. "This gun is Siegfried. It works as a booster. For example, you can use your semblance, right?" Ruby nodded. "What can it do?"
"My semblance makes me move so fast that no one can see, but it can be hard to control sometimes." She explained with a bit of an embarrassed look.
"I see, so you can move at the speed of sound. Now image if you use this gun on yourself. You will be able to move at the speed of light." Those words alone made Ruby looked at Jaune with wide eyes of amazement.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" She squealed, "That's so cool!" The silver eyed girl was practically vibrating in excitement, eyeing the gun hungrily. She looked at Jaune pleadingly, "C-Can I pleeeease hold it? I promise I'll be extra careful with it!" In response, Jaune only shrugged before silently holding it out to her.
Gently, as if receiving a gift from the Gods, Ruby placed Crescent Rose away, taking Seigfried in her hands as she eyed with awe. She breathed in and out in excitement as she gave an experimental trigger pull. Unable to contain herself, she pointed the gun at herself. But she noticed that nothing was happening.
"Nice try, but it needs to be loaded with the bullets I make." Jaune showed her the silver bullets for Siegfried that he had in his hand. Ruby couldn't help but pout in Jealousy.
"No fair! I want crescent rose to do the same thing with its gun!"
"Sorry kid, that's not going to happen," Jaune said as he sheath Kurogane and put back Siegfried in its holster. "Anyway, let's get going. The headmaster of this could have already started his speech.
"Your right. I nearly forgot about Yang!" Ruby quickly dashes off to the building of Beacon.
"Hahahahaha, I can't wait." Jaune walked off to Beacon.
(scene change: auditorium)
"Whoa," Ruby quietly murmured as she and Jaune entered the auditorium. "This is a really big crowd." She finished, looking at a lot of students in the auditorium.
Jaune didn't say anything as he was looking around, sensing the aura strength of the people in the auditorium. He could find a couple of big ones, but none that would catch his interest. All he could do is just sigh in disappointment.
"You alright Jaune?" Ruby asked in concern.
"Fine, I'm just a bit disappointed." He grumbled as he facepalmed. From the days that he spent with Salem, she would always the greatest entertaining that only she could provide. Each and every time Salem would train him and surround him with strong opponents, he would always feel the greatest excitement towards Salem and her opponent's she provides.
"Hey sis, I saved a spot for ya!" A blonde haired girl from within the crowd shouted. A smile came upon Ruby's face as she was wanted to head over to her girl. 'So that's her sister. She seems to have a lot of strength and endurance, but she lacks in skill and technique.' Jaune analyzed. Though it seems that Ruby turned her hesitant eyes over to Jaune. Seeing her hesitance, Jaune simply raised an eyebrow.
"What? You can go on if you want to. No one is stopping." Ruby smiled at Jaune before turning to her sister and went towards her as she said her goodbyes to Jaune.
"Salem, do you know anything about that girl?" Jaune asked quietly.
"Do not worry about that girl. She's none of our concern just yet. The one who you should place your concern in on stage with someone else with him." Salem informed Jaune which caused him and everyone's attention was taken to the stage as a blonde haired buxom woman to tapped on the microphone on stage.
"Now then children, before I begin, Headmaster Ozpin has a speech prepared for all of you."
A middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. This man was Ozpin. Jaune couldn't help but release his killing intent.
It was silent as Ozpin came on stage, a calm look plastered on his face as he stepped up to the microphone. The Headmaster of Beacon stared at the students, making eye contact with every single one of them. His eyes lingered on Ruby's for a moment, he could see her eagerness and readiness to get started. Then his eyes lingered on Jaune. He could feel the hostility, the roaring madness, the bloodlust that was on this boy. The students could not feel this, but he could feel from a mile away. He quickly narrowed his eyes, but then it turned into a calm look as he looked into the crowd. Finally, his lips parted.
"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted potential, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." With his speech said, Ozpin turned and walked off stage, leaving behind confused, shocked, and angry students.
Jaune couldn't help but smile at what he just heard. All he did was give a nod in agreement. "I didn't expect to say that Salem, but I got to admit, he's right.'
"He may be a fool, but he's not that much of a fool, he know the difference between was is great and what is useless."
"I guess you're right about that." He simply shrugged his shoulders as he turned around.
The woman approached the microphone a moment later. "Now then children, tonight you all shall be sleeping here in the auditorium. Have your sleeping bags prepared, you may use to restrooms to freshen up and prepare for your night. Breakfast shall be prepared for the following morning, and shortly after, you shall proceed to the cliffs where initiation shall commence. That will be all." With that said, the female Professor stepped off stage.
"Hey, Jaune!" A familiar voice called out to Jaune. He turned his head to see Ruby and her sister walking to him.
"Is there something you need?" Jaune slightly tilted his head.
"I wanted you to meet my sister Yang." Ruby pointed to the yellow hair girl. From up close, Yang is a teenage girl who wears a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow low-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs, there are two small golden buttons.
She wears a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner-like object. The same burning heart crest appears on this banner, except golden in color. She wears black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white asymmetrical back skirt.
Aside from an orange infinity scarf around her neck, she has no discernible jewelry. She wears brown knee-high platform boots that appear to be made of leather, with orange socks of different lengths. Her left leg also has a gray bandanna-like object wrapped around the top of her boot. She wears fingerless black gloves underneath her yellow gauntlets, which resemble two yellow mechanized gauntlets with a black design.
"Yang Xiao Long, it's a pleasure." She purred to Jaune which causes him to roll his eyes. 'Not my type of woman.'
"Yaaaang! Knock it off!" Ruby whined.
"Oh come on Sis, I'm just trying to have a little fun."
"You don't deserve to have fun after ditching me!" Ruby accused. "Besides, Jaune's my friend. It's gross seeing you flirt with him!" Yang grew a bit sheepish. Jaune kept looking between the two of them. 'Okay then?'
"Alright, alright jeez Sis, lay off a bit." The blond haired girl said. "Sooo how were you after we separated?"
"You ditched me," Ruby deadpanned. "And besides meeting Jaune I exploded."
"Wow, meltdown already huh?" Yang remarked.
"No I mean I literally exploded! First, there was this crabby girl and she kept yelling at me!"
"You mean the girl behind you?" Jaune informed Ruby.
"You!"
"Oh God, it's happening again!" Ruby exclaimed, jumping into Yang's arms
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of a cliff!" Weiss shouted, glaring at the girl with icy blue eyes. Yang's eyes widened.
"Oh my god you really exploded." She remarked, letting her sister down.
"The spoiled rich girl is baring her fangs, how scary," Jaune said in boredom. The white haired girl turned her attention to Jaune, glaring at the blond with icy blue eyes.
"And who are you?" She sneered. From up close, she was a young girl, dressed primarily in light blue, white, and some red. She wears a pale blue bolero jacket over a similarly colored thigh-length dress with a piece of black lace making up the neckline of the dress. The inside of the bolero is red and the sleeves turn blue as they get closer to her wrists. The back of the bolero displays a Crest, which bears a resemblance to a snowflake.
She also had an apple-shaped necklace along with a pair of thin, rectangular earrings. She wears white, heeled wedge boots that go to mid-calf; the insides are also lined with red. Her long white hair is pulled back in an off-center ponytail, at the base of which is a small tiara that resembles icicles. She has a pale complexion and ice blue eyes. She also bears a crooked scar down her left eye.
"Jaune Black, who the hell are you?" Jaune gave her an ominous glare that told her he would promise her a cruel demise.
"W-Weiss Schnee," Weiss said, introducing herself as she shivered only slightly.
"Whatever." Jaune casually walked away.
"Where are you going?" Ruby asked Jaune.
"Outside, I prefer sleeping outside than with people I don't really know or care about," Jaune said as he walked out the door. Ruby couldn't help but look at his with a sad look.
"Does little Ruby has a crush~" Yang teased her little sister, which got her a shoe in the face.
(Time skip: night time)
The black haired girl from before is quietly read her book, golden eyes reading the sentences and words intently. Her black bow twitched slightly as she noticed someone approaching.
"Good book?" She heard. Raising her head, she saw Ruby trying to make small talk with her.
"It's a good book." She replied, golden orbs returning to her piece of literature. She contently read her books before she was interrupted.
"Hello, I believe you two know each other!" Yang said, grinning as she pushed her sister forward.
"Hey there… Uh."
"Blake," The black haired girl supplied, blandly looking at the two siblings.
"Right, Blake, I'm Ruby."
"Right," Blake responded blandly with a blink.
"So, uh…."
"What are you doing?" Yang whispered in Ruby's ear.
"I don't know help me!" Ruby responded in desperation.
"Sup? I'm Yang, Ruby's big sister" Yang said with a carefree grin.
"A pleasure," Blake responded. It was silent between the three of them again.
"I like your bow." Yang started the conversation again
"Thanks."
"It goes great with your... pajama's."
"Right." Things became awkward again.
"Nice night, don't you think?" Yang asked, trying to make things normal again.
"Yes... it's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book. That I will continue to read." ...Awkward. "As soon as you leave." Blake went back to reading her book.
"Yeah, this girl is a lost cause," Yang said in a bit of a complaining tone.
"What's it about?" Blake blinked. "Your book?"
"It's about a man with two souls, both fighting for control over his body." She answered.
"I like books, as a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books, someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!" Ruby said. Blake raised an eyebrow.
"Hoping for a happy ending?" Blake asked.
"I'm hoping we all will. After all, we all have to help each other right?" Ruby asked smiling. Blake smiled slightly.
"That's pretty ambitious for a child… Unfortunately, the world isn't so kind as a fairy tale." Blake said, her smile changing into a frown.
"Well, that's why were here. To make it better." Ruby said with a smile.
"Oooh, I'm so proud of my baby sister." Yang went up to hug Ruby.
"Cut it out." And just like that, the sisters started fighting.
"Ruby and Yang, it's a pleasure to-" Before Blake could finish her sentence, Weiss interrupted them.
"What is going on over here!? Don't you realize some of us is trying to sleep!" Weiss complained to the sisters
"Oh not you again/Oh not you again!" Weiss and Yang said at the same time.
"Shh, come on guys, some of us are trying to sleep." Ruby agreed with Weiss. And just like that, the three began to complain until Blake blew out the candle.
(Scene change: Outside)
As Jaune was outside the auditorium, he heard everything that was said between the four.
"What a bunch a bullshit. That girl can't even tell the difference between pain and despair." Jaune couldn't help but glare at the auditorium. "Whatever. I'll get some sleep and worry about tomorrow. Maybe then someone interesting may happen." With those words said, Jaune fell asleep.
"Yes, my love, something very interesting will happen tomorrow," Salem said with absolute delight in her dark voice.
The end
Damn, it been a long time since I had to finish a chapter.
For those who want to know why I did a Jaune x Salem fanfic is no one has truly done a real fanfic with these as a couple. Sure, they may be a fanfic where they see each other here and there, but this fanfic is where it's love between them. And most of the time, people pair Jaune with the other females. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying that you need to open your imagination to other females that you don't see being used in couples with the main character. So that's why I'm doing that.
Just to let you all know, I will make Salem into a yandere. Why? It's because I can.
That's it for now.
BYE :)
