Meeting the Company of Hunters
Arc's End Jaune Arc's home
Jaune went to the door and opened it to reveal a man older than him only for a few years. He had shoulder armor and a green samurai shirt, brown pants, black military boots and he had a robe on his back and a massive samurai sword. His mere look made Jaune feel small.
"Yatsuhashi. At your service." said Yatsuhashi
"Um, okay, Jaune Arc. At your service." responded Jaune
Yatsuhahi began walking into the house. Jaune moved aside to let him pass through.
"Excuse me. Have we met before?" asked Jaune
"No." responded Yatsuhashi
As he walked into the house Yatsuhashi put his robe away. He handed it to Jaune as he looked at the ceiling.
"Is it going to be here?" asked Yatsuhashi
"What? I don't know what you are talking about." said Jaune
"Dinner. She said there was going to be food here. A lot of it." said Yatsuhashi walking to the kitxhen
"Dinner? Who said that?" asked Jaune
The next few minutes were spent in silence. Yatsuhashi ate Jaune's dinner leaving only the trout's tail and spine, he even ate the head. Jaune could only get even more uneasy this huntsman had come to his house and was armed. His thoughts were interrupted by Yatsuhashi.
"This is good. Got anything else?" asked Yatsuhashi
"Oh yes." said Jaune
Jaune grabbed a plate of biscuits and handed it to the huntsman, before grabbing one for himself. As soon as he placed the plate on the table Yatsuhashi began eating the biscuits.
"Um, can I ask you something? Its just that I wasn't expecting any company this evening. Could you please tell me who.." said Jaune before there was a knock on the door
"Shouldn't you go see who it is?" asked Yatsuhashi
Jaune went quickly to see who was at the door. He hoped that it was someone who could help him. The last thing he needed was another problem. He opened the door and found a middle aged man with spiky green hair, glasses, a trench coat, beige pants and dark brown pants.
"Hello, Dr. Bartholomew. At your service." said Bartholomew
"Jaune Arc, good evening." said Jaune
"Yes, yes it is. Oh well, what do we have here?" said Bartholomew
The newly arrived huntsman saw Yatsuhashi and went to greet him. Yatsuhashi was meanwhile eating Jaune's cockies.
"Hello there brother. How has life treated you?" asked Bartholomew
"For my father's beard. You are taller and skinnier than the last time I saw you, Bart." said Yatsuhashi
"Maybe taller, not skinnier. I am still able to teach you a lesson." said Bartholomew
To this the two huntsmen chuckled at and that only made Jaune even more uneasy. Suddenly Yatsuhashi grabbed Bartholomew by the shoulders and in an instant head butted each other. Afterwards they were laughing it out. Soon afterwards the two huntsmen began assaulting Jaune's pantry.
"Wait be careful. That wine is very hard to make. The thing is I don't know either of you." said Jaune
"I will get something more dinner. Don't be stingy, Yatsu. Fill this cup." said Bartholomew
"Alright. Alright. This smells funny." said Yatsuhsshi
"Could you please pay attention to what I am saying. I am trying to understand who you two are and I don't recall inviting you over. Sorry I just had to speak my mind. Forgive me." said Jaune
The two huntsmen looked at Jaune.
"We forgive you." said Bartholomew
Suddenly the door was knocked again. Jaune just sighed and went to see who it was this time.
"I swear if it is another huntsman." said Jaune
He opened up the door and found not one but two huntsmen at his door. Two young men. One was tanned and with blond hair, open white shirt torn jeans and red gloves. The other one was also tanned with blue hair, red shirt with a tie and brown pants, and googles. Both had the funny look on their faces.
"Neptune." said the first
"And Sun." said the second
"At your service." said the two at the same time.
"We heard there was food here." said Sun
"No sorry. You got the wrong house." said Jaune in an attempt to keep the huntsmen out.
"What no body told us." said Sun
"Why was the dinner canceled?" asked Neptune
"Nothing was canceled." said Jaune
"Oh great." said Sun opening the door
"Here. Careful. These are very sharp." said Neptune giving Jaune a bunch of weapons
Sun and Neptune went inside and began cleaning their feet in one of Jaune's furniture.
"This an awesome place, wish I had this kind of place." said Sun
"Hey! Please don't do that. That is my mother's 150 year old cabinet." said Jaune
"Sun, Neptune help us pull out more tables." said Yatsuhashi
"Ah Yatsu, so good to see you." said Sun
"Help us boys. We will need more chairs to accommodate everyone who is coming." said Bartholomew
"WHAT! No no no no!" screamed Jaune
Suddenly there was another knocking at the door. Jaune was about to blow a fuse. He grumbled as he dropped the weapons on the footstool and went straight to the door. To see who it was, he hoped that it was a killer and put him out of his misery.
"No no, we don't want anymore visits. I don't know who thought of this. Or if this is some kind of sick joke, but I swear when I find out who thought about thisI will make them regret this. There are already four too many hunters in my house." said Jaune as he opened the door
After Jaune opened the door about eight huntsmen and huntresses fell down into the house. Leaving only Glynda Goodwitch standing behind the hunters with a small smile.
"Glynda." said Jaune with complete anger
All the hunters went inside and began helping set up the table and take out the rest of the pantry. Jaune tried to keep them in line as well as he could but it seemed that his words fell on deaf ears.
"Put that down. No leave it. Careful with those. That chair is 90 years old. Please don't play with that." kept repeating Jaune
The huntsmen and huntresses were all over the house, moving things around eating and setting the table for a banquet. Just as Jaune was about to blow a fuse, a certain huntress was looking at him with kind eyes. She had spat ran armor and long red hair. She was grabbing some food for the table. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Glynda Goodwitch.
"Go talk to him. Trust me he needs a friendly face." said Glynda in a whisper.
The huntress went towards Jaune and tried talking to him. Jaune meanwhile was still trying to keep his house in one piece. Suddenly a big man with a mustache and a red suit passed him holding three cheese wheels.
"Do you have a knife for that?" asked Jaune
The huntress found her opening and decided to talk to him.
"A knife? Port eats it whole. Hi I'm Pyrrha." said Pyrrha
"Jaune, nice to meet you." responded Jaune shaking her hand
While Jaune and Pyrrha were talking Glynda was counting the hunters.
"Let's see. Pyrrha, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Ren, Nora, Port, Bartholomew, Yatsuhashi, Sun, Neptune." said Glynda as the hunters passed around her.
Suddenly Nora came around in front of Glynda.
"I think we are missing someone Glynda." said Nora
"Yes, you are right Nora. I see we are missing one huntsman. Where would he be?" asked Glynda
"He just got late that's all. He had to attend a reunion of all the hunter lords. He will make it in time." said Yatsuhashi
Soon enough all the hunters were sitting on the table eating all of Jaune's food. Everyone was having fun and telling stories, the only one that was that was not enjoying this was Jaune, who was currently staring at the remains of his pantry.
They ate and sang cheerful songs and drank all the ale and wine Juane had. After they were done with all the food they continued going around the house. Jaune meanwhile was playing babysitter keeping them from destroying what was left of his house.
"No please. That is not a handkerchief. You can't clean yourself with it." said Jaune to Ruby
"But it has a lot of holes." responded Ruby
"It is suppose to look like that it is called crochette." said Jaune
"Oh that is a good game I hear. Especially if you know how to use a hammer." said Nora passing by.
Jaune went to put the handkerchief away while grumbling.
"I just can't take these Hunters any longer." said Jaune
"My dear Jaune, how is everything?" asked Glynda
"Oh you know. How do you think I am doing? These Hunters are driving me nuts. Their boots have scratch the wooden floor beyond repair. They have eaten an entire year's worth of food in a single evening. My furniture is a real mess. The only thing that is still in one piece is the bathroom." said Jaune indignant
As in cue the whole house shook. and a certain blond bombshell came out of the bathroom.
"I wouldn't go there if I were you." said Yang
"I stand corrected. I honestly don't know what they are doing in my house?" said Jaune
"Excuse me, but what do I do with my plate?"asked Ruby
"Here Ruby, let me help you with that." said Sun grabbing the plate and throwing it.
Suddenly all the hunters began playing and singing with the plates and the forks and knifes while singing.
"That is what Jaune Arc hates!" sang the Hunters
At the end of the song all the plates and bowls were staked together and they were clean. Jaune was impressed by the Hunters skill and cleanliness.
Suddenly the sound of loud knocking silenced the entire house. Everyone looked at the door.
"He is here."said Glynda
