After the odd encounter with Lesley they all started to head to Jaune's' house. Blake was still sceptical about showing that she was a faunes but when she saw multiple faunes walking around and talking to people without being attacked or ridiculed she decided to remove her bow and show her ears. The rest of the group mealy ignored it except for Nora who started to try and play with the ears. "Nora I would appreciate it if you would stop playing with my ears." Purred Blake ", I do not like people to play with them."
"but they are so soft and fluffy." Pleaded Nora.
"I know but I do not want you to touch them." Replied Blake in an soft tone that left no room for argument.
"Nora if you leave Blakes ears alone I will show you a pancake house that makes ten different types of pancakes." Butted in Jaune as he looked at them over his shoulder. At this Noras' eyes widened and a large grin could be seen growing on her face. Ren gave Jaune a look that screamed 'why do you do this to me'. Seeing this look everyone started to laugh and feel sorry for the poor boy. After ten more minutes of walking they came to a large house old house that looked like it could have 30 people staying there easily. "Jaune why does your family need such a big house? I thought you said you only have 7 sisters." Asked Yang as she and everyone else admired the house. It was a large old house that looked like a villa it had a court yard in the middle of it with plenty of rooms. It was two stories and had a wooden outside. Infront of the entrance there was a small garden with a gravel path flanked by flowers lead to the door. Behind the flowers there was small squares of green well cut grass.
"Yeah I only have 7 sisters, however this house was built by my great, great grandfather and he said that whoever has this house must give a room to any person with the Ark name no matter what they are going though as long as it does not break a law. We have then expanded it to encompass anyone who needs a bed in the cold winter months." Responded Jaune. When he finished talking a man and woman walked out of the house and looked at them. The man was the same height a Jaune with well cut blond hair and no beard. The woman was much smaller being around the height of Nora. However she carried herself well and stood to her full size, despite her size she had the look of someone who could hurt you and could hold her own in a fight. "hello son!" said the man in a deep voice as he jumped down and enveloped Jaune in a massive bear hug. The woman hug back smiling at the two before turning to look at the others.
"Let him go dear you might kill him. Jaune dear are you going to introduce us you your friends?" enquired the woman.
"yes," said Jaune as he got his breath back thinking that that hug was tighter than Noras,"Mum, Dad this is the rest of my team, my partner Pyrrha and this is Ren and Nora. This is team RWBY they live across the hall from us, This is their leader Ruby and her partner Weiss, her sister Yang and lastly Blake. Guys this is my parents Juliette and Monty" finished Jaune pointing at everyone respectively.
"Come inside you lot" said Jaunes mum Juliette as she opened the door for them. As everyone stepped inside they were surprised by the look of everything. The house looked as if it was lived in but still held its class. In a room to their left they saw a large room with couches around a fire place and books on the wall some of them looked very old. "Now all of you will be staying upstairs in your own rooms and you will be near Jaune's if you need anything."
"We don't mean to be a bother Mrs Ark, we are happy to pare up to take up less room if that would be easier on you." Said Pyrrha.
"It is no trouble, after all have you seen the size of this place it will be nice to use some of it." Responded Juliette. Juliette told Jaune were everyone was staying and he lead them up stairs to their rooms. When they got upstairs there was a corridor going both left and right, Jaune went left and they followed him.
"Ok guys this room is Ruby's" said Jaune with a small smile he opened the door. Everyone let out a gasp. The room was huge with a massive king bed in the middle and pillows stacked on top. It had a large window facing out to the street with a veranda as well as a table and chairs. In front of the bed was a massive flat screen. There was a small sitting area near the window with large couches. In another corner there was a bathroom that had a large shower as well as a toilet. Even Weiss was shocked by the size of the room.
"Think Pyrrha this will be your life when you get into Jaunes pants" said yang. At this both Pyrrha and Jaune turned red like a tomato. While ruby looked confused and Nora laughed, Weiss smacked Yang across the back of the head.
"well I guess Yang will be staying in the gutter with language like that" said Blake earning her a glare from Yang.
Recovering Jaune continued "Weiss you will be across from Ruby, Black you will be next to her while Yang will be next to her sister. Also guys there is a larger bathroom down the hall if you wish to have a bath instead of a shower, and five doors down there is a sort of common room where you can hang out it also has got a small kitchenette if you want to get a drink or snack." With that Jaune left the girls to get settled as he showed his team their rooms. It ended up with Pyrrha being across from Jaune. Pyrrha felt a little embarrassed by this but was not going to waste the chance to get with Jaune.
They all eventually made their way downstairs to the reading room. "Jaune I have got some bad news for you." Said Monty
"what is it?" asked a nervous Jaune half expecting that he would know the answer.
"You sisters are going to be coming in to see you on Wednesday. Isn't that great." Interrupted Juliette.
"oh no" was all Jaune could be heard saying. Hearing this everyone else looked up. They had all heard of his sisters who taught him how to dance.
"ohh this should be good, we get to meet the legendary sisters who were responsible for Jaune's dance skills. I wonder what else they taught him" Said Yang with an evil smirk.
"by the way do any of you know what was going on when Lesley ran past our house as if a death stalker was after her?" asked Monty
" oh that was because she insulted our team and called Pyrrha out without knowing it by saying that she was weak and hopeless. She then challenged her to a match before learning that Pyrrha was Jaune's partner." Said Nora as she flipped through a book on castle building.
"Ren we should build this one" she said holding it up to the boy in question.
"do you mean a scale size one cause we can do that." Responded Ren
"of course not silly, we need a full size one." Said Nora in a matter of fact tone.
"That poor boy, how does he do it?" asked Juliette to Ruby
"A lot and lot of practice." Responded Ruby.
They spent the better half of half the day talking as Yang tried to get as much dirt as she could on Jaune while Blake and Weiss were interested in the book, Nora trying to get Ren to build a castle with her. This just left Ruby, Jaune and Pyrrha talking about how to make cookies. Pyrrha was not really interested in the process of making cookies but just wanted to take the chance to get to know Jaune and spend time with him.
As the afternoon began to settle in the door bell rung. "I wonder who that could be?" asked Monty as he got out of his chair to open the door. As he opened the door he was greeted by Lesley who was in full combat uniform. She had plated armour on her chest as well as her arms and knees had guards with multiple small spikes sticking out of them as well as shin guards and metal toed boots. Her weapon was a large round bronze shield with a long spear and a sword on her belt. Behind her many of the children and even some adults had gathered to see what was happening.
"I have come to challenge Jaune to a fight in the stadium." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"Oh" was all Jaune said from his seat on the couch.
