AN: Part two! In this one, we see how Jaune and Yang get out of ther situation! Jaune meet's a certain champion. And a mute terror makes her appearance! All this and more in this chapter of God's mistake!
Commision for Alvenor.
"Jaune!? NO!" Yang yelled as the Ursa claws penetrated his chest. The boy gagged, spitting up blood turning around looking almost! Offended by the Grimm putting its claws into his lungs, before casually punching it in the face. The thing's head exploded in a puff of blood and bone. The monster dying in a moment, disintegrated as it yanked its claws from his chest.
A horrible gurgling sound filled the air as Jaune's punch connected the monster fell back as-
"Guess I got cocky," Jaune said as he let his eyes roll to the back of his head as he fell to his knees, and then collapsed onto the ground. Falling to the mud and collapsing face first into the thick wet earth.
"Jaune?! Jaune!? NO! NO! NO!" Yang yelled sprinting up to her brother in all but blood and not so secret object of her affection. She slid to his side not caring of the sickening feeling of mud flying onto her knees as she cradled the dying boy in her arms.
"Jaune!? Jaune!? Talk to me man!" Yang yelled shaking her brother who's lifeblood leaked onto the mud. The blood mixed and mingled with the earth producing a sick pinkish color as Yang held her still brother.
"Jaune!? Jaune!? Come on man! This isn't funny anymore! Jaune?!" Yang yelled shaking Jaune's body a low blue glow seemed to appear in his chest as he laid still. Jaune didn't move, his pulse was steady but weak. His skin lost what little color it already had, and the boy looked on the verge of death.
"Jaune don't worry! I'm not going to let you die, not today." Yang said putting an arm over Jaune's shoulder taking him off the ground the young girl grimacing as she yanked him out of the mud and began to walk…
"You are lucky to be alive you know that?" A tall doctor in a flowing white robe said, the elder woman with silver hair and green eyes looked over a clipboard as she put a stethoscope to Jaune's naked chest, that had a horrible scar on it.
"Is he going to be ok?!"
"Besides the terrible scar? Yes, he will make a full recovery Miss Xiao-long. Of that, you have my word." The doctor said taking her device from Jaune's chest as Yang let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank Oum. I thought he was going to die."
"So did I. You brought him in with a punctured lung, several cases of internal bleeding and a massive case of blood loss. In any other cases Jaune should have been dead, young man do you know what your semblance is?"
"No mam."
"Do you have your aura unlocked?"
"No mam."
"Interesting, I was going to suggest that you had a healing type, but that is unknown. Anyways! You are free to go in the morning. I will be contacting both of your parents though. I think they would be quite worried about you." The nurse added as Yang froze, her body going stiff as a board as a cold sweat gripped her. She had in her panic to save Jaune's life forgotten about that one teensy, weensy little point! Her parents...
I'm dead! Yang thought as she felt her life being measured in the hours and not years. She was so dead! Not only did she set out in the rain! To go find her biological mom who she never knew! She dragged Jaune! Sweet innocent Jaune! Who could never say no to a complete stranger let alone his sister! Summer was going to kill her, Ren was going to kill her! She was fucked!
"Um, nurse!"
"Yes, Yang?"
"You don't have to tell our parents we are here now do you?"
"I am afraid that I do. I can not just let two minors who come into my hospital one almost dying both soaked covered in mud blood and other fluids go without telling their parents. What kind of doctor would I be if I just let you go?"
"The cool kind who gets major props from me and Jaune?"
"I would rather keep my job than be cool Yang. Sorry." The nurse added with a coy smirk as Yang rolled her eyes.
"Come on! Is there nothing I can do to convince you to delay the call? Can I pay you?" Yang asked as the doctor paused.
"I have a six-figure salary with vacation days and full medical can you match that?"
"No..."
"Then no, sorry Yang don't worry your parents will be happy to see you two again, so sit tight ok? And Jaune don't go dying while I'm calling your mothers. I don't need that on my conscious ok?"
"Yes, Mam."
"Good boy. Ok kids stay out of trouble. I'll be back." The nurse said walking off leaving Yang and Jaune in a thin white curtain as Yang's mind went into overdrive.
She needed to find a way out of this! She was fucked, worse than that time Ruby baked her own cookies ad flooded the whole house with sugar! They were still getting globs of the stuff from the air ducts...
"Sorry, Yang."
"What?"
"I'm sorry... it's my fault we are here." Jaune said his head hung low as he failed to look Yang in her eyes.
"What? Why the hell are you saying that?"
"If I didn't get hurt, we could have walked back home, this is my fault. I got cocky I'm sorry."
"I... look Jaune this is my fault. I should not have dragged you out in the rain."
"But I couldn't let you go alone! You are like a sister to me."
I want to be more than that.
"I know! I know! It's just... I really wanted to meet my mom."
"But Summer is your mom.'
"My real mom Jaune. You know, don't you ever wonder about your real mom?"
"I mean your real mom. You know not Ann."
"But Ann is my mom," Jaune replied with an almost childlike tone as Yang sighed.
"No Jaune she is your mom, but she is not your mom. You get me?"
"No that doesn't make sense. How is she my mom but not my mom?" Jaune's reply made a stupid amount of common sense and made Yang facepalm.
"No Jaune, I mean look at her! Look at Rin! You see something in common with them?"
"Yeah, they look identical. They both have long black hair and pink eyes."
"Yes! Exactly! You don't ever think how come my mom and sister have long black hair, off tan skin color and magenta eyes, while I have blonde hair blue eyes?"
"I... not really. Is that a problem that I look different than them?"
"No, not exactly but they are not your real relatives you get me?"
"Not really. They raised me how are they not my family?"
"No! I'm not saying that they are not your family I'm just asking if you ever wonder where you came from. I mean you know you are adopted-
"I'm adopted?!" Jaune said blue eyes shining with fear as Yang groaned.
"There goes my fucking Oumsmas gifts until I get to Beacon. No! Well yes, you had to know that! I mean look at you! You look nothing like your parent!"
'I thought that we were more distant relatives!"
"Why would you think that? How distant does a blonde hair blue eyed kid need to be with a raven-haired pink eyed woman?"
"I thought..."
"Jaune... now that I think about this..., who are you?"
"Who am I?"
"Where do you come from? Where are your real parents? Where did Ann find you? I mean you didn't just fall out of the damn sky did you?" Yang asked a playful smirk on her lips as Jaune paused.
"I... I don't know... I mean I know I didn't fall out of the sky! That would be ridiculous!"
"Yeah no shit, what kind of stupid plot point is that? Boy falls out of the sky is, and what he gets a harem of girls out of it? Ridiculous!"
"That story would be terrible!"
"I know right? But really does Ann ever talk about you?"
"She says I was a falling star sometimes before she tucked me into bed. She called me her falling star.'
"Her falling star? What does that mean?"
"I don't know, but I liked it when she does. It helps me sleep when I have nightmares."
"I... Fuck it Jaune you want to go out?"
"Go out? Now?"
"Hell yeah now!"
"What about our parents?"
"Jaune we just risked our lives, almost got you killed and broke curfew. We are going to be grounded for a year, I think we should have some fun with what little freedom we have left don't you?"
"I don't know..."
"Well put it like this I am leaving to have fun. Are you going to let your sister go out alone and maybe get attacked by bad guys in Vale when she's alone?"
"Of course I won't! I'll protect you!" The boy said with far too much stell than a kid should muster making Yang flush as a heat appeared in her chest.
"Good! Now help me get the hell out of this hospital."
Yang's plan had more or less worked. Jaune and her were able to sneak out of the hospital mainly due to Jaune being able to rip doors off their hinges. Really! That kid was stronger than anyone should be! Yang didn't know how tough Jaune was, but the boy was a dynamo!
"Shit Jaune! How strong are you!?"
"I don't know? About average?" Jaune asked taking a pair of metal double doors putting them on the side of the hallways as Yang shook her head.
"Your definition of average leaves much to be desired."
"Does it?"
"Yes. Yes, it does now come on we need to have a good last meal."
And in Yang's defense, it was a good last meal or last meals. She took Jaune all over town, starting in the early morning and going late into the day.
Yang took her brother to every last place that had food that was salty, fatty and overall bad for them. The ate ice cream, chicken wings, dranks some! Less than legal strawberry sunrises in the sketchier part of the town when Jaune tossed a bounced through the back of a club wall.
After hitting every arcade, movie theater and just about every damn hangout spot it was time for the two to face the music.
"Well, Jaune we had a good run you know?" Yang asked walking back to her Patch housed a massive cotton candy stick in her hand as Jaune cocked his head.
"A good run? But we didn't' run anywhere."
"No, I mean we had a good life you know?"
"Is our life going to end anytime soon?" Jaune asked through a mouthful of nachos. The boy swallowing them as Yang rolled her eyes.
"Socially yes. Physically maybe?"
"Who's going to try to hurt us? I'll protect you." Jaune said as easy as Yang did her hair.
"Who told you to be so smooth?" Yang asked punching his shoulder lightly making her hand hurt.
Why is he so tough!? Yang thought as the slow setting Patch sun fell behind them. Sticking a messy orange line across the sky as Jaune blinked owlishly.
"I'm smooth? Since when?"
"I swear you are messing with me."
"I'm not messing with you, why would I do that? You are like family to me why would I bother you?"
"I... you are dense you know that?"
"My mom and sisters tell me that every day."
"And they have a damn point, don't even know I like you," Yang mumbled as Jaune paused.
"Like me? Of course, I know you like me, Yang." Yang felt her heart stop.
"What?! You know?!"
"Of course, how could I not?"
"You knew!? For how long?!"
"Years." Yang died on the spot.
"And you didn't say anything!?"
"Why would I?"
"To give me some damn closure!"
"I like you too."
"You do?!"
"Of course I love you." Yang could die on the spot.
"I! I mean! I-
'You are my sister, of course, I love you, how could I not love my sister?"
"IDIOT!" Yang yelled punching his side making him grunt.
"Ow! Yang that hurt!"
"It was supposed to hurt you dumbass!"
"But!"
"Dammit, why do I have to pick you!?"
"Pick me for what?"
"Don't worry about it just get back into my house we don't have much time before we are found out and we need to get our stories straight."
"Our stories straight?"
"You don't want to be ground for half a year do you?"
"Not really, no."
"Then we need to get our lines together…
"Ok. Do you know the plan?" Yang asked begging that for once! Jaune would be able to keep his cool to his mom, and sisters or worse hers.
"Yeah! I gotcha!" Jaune said flashing Yang a thumbs up as she sighed. She knew asking Jaune to outright lie to his family would not work out. Jaune could not lie to save his or her life. So she had to bend the truth a bit.
"Ok. Just remember we are not lying."
"We are not lying, got it."
"We are also not telling the whole truth, yet!"
"But we will tell them later?"
"Of course!" Yang said as headlights waved out from the outside the sound of crunching gravel and tires filled the air as she sighed.
"Ok Jaune, calm down this is it, game time," Yang said as the sound of keys in the door filled the air...
The next few minutes of life were pure chaos. One second they were alone in her house, the next a frazzled and VERY angry Summer was in the door. Her mom took less than a second to lock her silver eyes on them blurring up to both of them faster than Yang could even blink.
"You are ok!" Summer wrapped both of her kids in a tight hug, the back-breaking worried mom hug that Yang knew to love and fear in equal measure filled the air along with the sound of cracking bones.
The mom of the year wrapped up both of her kinds in aback breaking hug and-
"Jaune!" Ann Ren's voice came. Next, the woman sprinted at near Summer speeds, yanking Jau out of Sumers grip. Not an easy feat mind you, instantly checking her son for any and all injuries an action Summer soon followed with Yang-
"Jaune!"
"Yang?!"
Ren and Ruby said as the other members of the extended family came into the living room were turned in a wriggling mess of hugs, kisses demands of potential injuries. Something Yang kicked herself for not telling Jaune to cover, as he lifted his shirt showing the terrible scar on his chest. Yang thought Ann was going to faint.
The shriek that came from her mouth was heard all the way in Mistral and could have woken the dead, and the subsequent barrage of question demands and threat that came after did nothing to help.
Eventually, Summer broke the chaos turning to Yang her eyes glowing with anger as she spoke one simple word.
"Explain." Summer's voice chilled Yang as she took a deep breath and began to state her case.
To be honest, it could have been worse. Yang pleaded her case with the best! Half lies and half-truths her teenage brain could come up with. She explained simply how she wanted to see her mom. How she felt lost not a lie, but not the whole truth. She wanted to find her birth mother and meet her.
"I wanted to ask why she left, I... I wanted to know why I wasn't good enough." Yang winced internally seeing the hurt that played on Summer's face. Her mood going from fury to sympathy her natural motherly instinct kicking in as she wrapped Yang in a soft hug.
"Yang you are good enough. Never say that again ok? You are perfect the way you are."
"Then why did she leave?" Yang didn't mean to have that question have as much feeling as it did, but that was the point of the half lie. She did want to know why her mother left, she did want to know why her mother left her, what made her not good enough. But seeing Summer hurt was... awkward at best and painful at worst and made Yang feel like an ass.
"But why did you go with Jaune? Why pick him?"
"I didn't, he came with me. I... I didn't want to pick Ruby, so I picked Jaune."
"But Ruby is older! Why did you pick the youngest? Did you think it would be easier to convince?" Summer asked her sympathy vanishing a moment as she gained her glare back.
"What, no! It's just Jaune can punch people through walls with his bare hands! He was easily the strongest person I could pick!" Yang spouted as-
"She's got a point." Qrow scrawled leaning on the back of the room as Summer paused, Yang did have a point. Jaune was far stronger than Ruby hell he could beat Tai in an arm wrestling match.
"But Jaune! Why did you go with her? Why not tell Summer or Tai?" Ann asked as Yang winced this was the real test if Jaune could pull this off they might be scot-free if not? They were fucked.
"I couldn't let Yang go alone."
"Jaune, that's not what I'm asking, why did you not wake her parents? Why not ask your aunt and uncle?"
"Probably too scared to go into their room," Qrow mumbled as Summer and Ann shot him a glare that could cut metal.
"Sorry! But he has a point, I wouldn't blame him."
"Qrow! Not helping!" Summer hissed as he sighed.
"Fine! Go on."
"Jaune? Why not tell Summer or Tai?"
"Because... mom do you... you do love me, right? You are my mom?" Jaune questions made Amm freeze, her magenta eyes widened to the size of saucers as she looked like Jaune had stabbed her.
"Jaune? Of course, I am! I am your mother, and I do love you! Why are you asking?"
"Well, Yang made a point... I... I don't look like you or Ren. I'm adopted like her." Jaune said as Yang winced the deadly glare Ren and Nora sent her along with the pressure form Summers hug made her wince.
Keep it together you blonde idiot keep it together. Yang mentally begged as Jaune sighed.
"Mom, I don't mind being adopted, like Yang said you are my real mother even if we are not related."
Good work you lovable idiot! I'm buying you so much cereal!
"But where did I come from?" You could hear a pin drop.
"Like Yang has a mom beside Summer, but what about mine? Where did you adopt me from? Do I have a family? Are they alive?"
"I, Jaune that is not a simple question."
"Why not?"
"You... you came to me under very tense circumstances."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that I do not know if you have a family," Ann said wincing as her son's eyes widened in surprise.
"You don't know?"
"No, I don't. I... I found you as a child alone in the woods surrounded by Grimm."
"And you made it out alive?" Qrow asked raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Not to be a dick Ann but you are not a huntress, you barely have your aura unlocked, and while you can handle yourself in a fight, you will forgive me of thinking it a bit suspicious that you somehow managed to escape a horde of Grimm with a baby without help."
"I never said we didn't have help Qrow."
"So you did have help?"
"Who helped you?" Tai asked peeing both of his daughters Ruby firmly spit one arm on Jaune the other on Yang, the young girl almost T posing between them as Ann paused.
"I... I had help from Jaune's handler."
"His what?"
"Handler Qrow."
"That sounds a lot like a child trafficker."
"It was not! Jaune was abandoned, and I adopted him. There, are you happy?"
"You adopted or just picked up and said mine? Cause last time I checked, you can't just pick up a kid even if he was abandoned."
"Qrow, that is not important. Ann, you said you save Jaune?"
"Yes, Summer I did. Jaune I can not tell you if you have a family, but I know that you are very special. You were meant to do great things."
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure. Trust me you are many things, but neither of you is a mistake." Ann said looking at Jaune and Yang as Summer let out a long pause.
"It's late, no one got hurt that bad. We can talk about punishment in the morning I don't feel like any more stress.' Summer said as Yang fought the smile the threatened to break off her face.
"I agree. Jaune come on, Ren, Nora don't let him wander."
"You got it!"
"He will not live my eyesight."
"Good. Summer, Tai, Qrow. I bid you a good night. I'm glad you are ok Yang, thank you for looking out for my son but please. In the future do not take him on any more search missions without your parents? Please?"
"OK! That is all for today!" Nora said pulling Jaune back through the crowd, Jaune gagged his sister dragged him forward like he was made of paper as they went to the event.
"Nora! Slow down!"
"No way Jaune! You got a fight to win! There is a champion in town!" Nora said already seeing her lien. There was some kind of Mistral champion in town and the time was nigh!
Jaune was now fourteen! He could now enroll in signal with Ruby, Yang her and Ren! Not that he was at their level in class that is. In terms of strength? Anyone, not Ruby would be put through a wall. Everyone but her cause Nora is awesome!
"Nora! What about Ren!?"
"She's fine! Trust me!"
"But you left her tied up!"
"She was going to try to stop us! To stop you! Jaune it is your destiny to win this fight!"
"Who am I fighting Nora!? You said a champion, but I don't know who that is?"
"Honestly, neither do I," Nora admitted like it was the easiest thing in the world as Jaune balked.
"What do you mean you don't know who I have to fight?!"
"I said that! I don't know who you are fighting just that they are strong as all apparently and two years older than you."
"Great, now I have to fight."
"Don't be so sad! We got bet's on this!"
"You and Qrow always have bets.'
"Damn right! Now, look at that! Qrow is at the arena!" Nora said as Jaune looked there was a makeshift arena in the center of Patch's town square where qrow was talking to a tall, beautiful red-headed teenager with bronze armor and a tiara on her head. She was standing next to Qrow in a large hastily constructed public arena that Jaune knew. Violated several safety codes and was housing several bleaches already stuffed with citizens, already talking eagerly as Jaune and Nora approached the center Qrow turned to face them and smiled widely.
"Nora! Get him down here! Fights on!" Qrow yelled as Jaune felt Nora begin to jump up and down. Her teal eye wide with excitement as she began to grin ear to ear.
"You got it uncle Qrow! Jaune kick ass!" Nora said as Jaune sighed he knew he could not get out of this so he at least decided to get this over with quick.
"Hello!" The champion? With red hair said as Jaune grimace he hated meeting new people. It was something he and his big sistress bonded over a lot and even if Ruby was not here he could still feel the awkwardness. Surrounded by dozens upon dozens of people being forced to fight a girl he had never known or heard of.
Why do I let Nora and uncle Qrow drag me into this kind of things!? I just have to learn how to say no! Jaune thought as he awkwardly waved at his opponent.
"Hello?" Jaune asked hoping for some goodwill from his beautiful tall enemy.
"I hope for a grand time!" Pyrrha said as she smiled this was going to be a cakewalk, not only was this a random town charity fight, it was against a boy without a weapon?
Too easy, Pyrrha thought drawing her spear and shield frowning a bit at the beatdown she was going to impact on this boy, she did not want to hurt him but beating down a yokel would get rid of some of the stress from her champion career so that was good, Well good for Pyrrha at least, for Jaune? This was going to be a less than stellar time.
She was going to get in some good stress relief beating down some locals then she was going to do it. "I hope for a grand battle!" Pyrrha said as Jaune? That was his name sighed already knowing he was going to lose but putting up a pair of fists taking a surprisingly decent boxers stance as Jaune took a balanced stance.
"If you say so," Jaune said frowning he didn't know who this pretty girl was but he was sure this was a waste of time. He just wanted to go home and read his comics with his big sistress! Ruby had just! And he meant just! Gotten the new issue of X-Ray- and vav and he just wanted to read it with her!
Might as well get this all done quicker I win here the quicker I get back to my big sistress!
"Jaune! Ready!"
"Yes, uncle Qrow!"
"Red! Ready?"
"I am!"
"Begin!" Qrow said as the crowd cheered and Pyrrha charged.
This will be simple! Pyrrha thought charging forward, charity or not she had a lot! Of stress built up over her career and this poor boy, Jaune would get the brunt of it.
"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha said slamming her spear down hoping not to hurt Jaune too much! But willing to give him a few bruises.
He did volunteer for the fight, he can't complain too much if he gets a few bruises! Right? Pyrrha thought as-
What the? Why am I in mid-air? Pyrrha thought as instead of the flash of aura and the scream of her enemy she was swinging? Her legs flailed in mid-air as-
"For what?" Jaune asked as Pyrrha gagged. Jaune... Jaune... Jaune caught it!? He caught her arm in his hand! Jaune was holding her up like she was a mangy cat! The boy blinking owlishly at the girl as she began to flail.
"Let go!"
"If you say," Jaune said dropping Pyrrha one the floor. She hit it like a sack of bricks. Falling face first and-
"Don't just drop me!"
"But you said to let you go."
"Idiot! Just-
Pyrrha froze as Jaune moved his foot stomped forward his body tense like a spring pulling back a fist and-
"Ow... What happened?" Pyrrha asked opening her eyes, she was in a pure white room, she was in a cot? Wrapped in a pale cloak as the smell of antiseptic filled her nose, her vision was blurry and her head hurt-
"You lost. Badly." A gruff voice said as the man Qrow? Stood by her in a hospital bed!?
"I lost!?"
"You got annihilated red." Qrow drawled as-
"What!? How!? Did he-
"He punched you. Once. You have three broken ribs and a bruised lung. You'll need to rest for a while." Qrow said counting a pile of thick Lien as Pyrrha almost passed out.
'Well, at least I have this." Jaune said as he looked up.
"That one! Neopolitan!" Jaune said pointing to the ice cream that he wanted.
"Sure thing!" The vendor said as Jaune licked his lips. He did not like Neopolitan ice cream but he had been too late to pick up vanilla.
The tournament cut of his money was already dolled out between him, Nora and Qrow and Jaune were going to use his money wisely.
"Here you go!" The man said giving Jaune a hearty scoop.
"We are all out! That's the last one!"
"Thanks!" Jaune said turning away from them as-
Whap! The sound of something wet slapping against something hard filled the air as Jaune paused.
A silent scream filled the air as Jaune aw the woman in front of him a drop dead gorgeous older teenager, that Jaune guessed? To be seventeen had just dropped her own tri-colored ice cream. The woman had long pink hair, and wore a pair of tight-fitting brown jeans that hugged her waist far too tight as Jaune blushed, she also had on a white leotard and a pair thick black heeled boots.
The woman dropped to the ground in what Jaune could only call an agonized scream of anguish at the loss of her treat-
"Here! You can have mine!" Jaune said acting on instinct thrusting out his ice cream as the woman turned her head. She was beautiful a perfect oval face with flawless pink skin looked back as a pair of the most mesmerizing brown pink eyes stared back at him as the woman gasped. Her perfect small hands flew to her face as she moved her mouth with rich bee-stung lips pause in a small O shape.
She mouthed a silent for me? As she looked at Jaune's ice cream like it was the holy grail of the fountain of youth.
"Yeah! You can have it! You dropped yours." The woman shook her head pushing the ice cream away with great reluctance. Her body shook as she fought to deny Jaune's sacrifice.
"It's ok! You can have mine!" Jaune said as the woman fought one last time before breaking snatching the treat form his hand as she jumped up in the air.
Jaune blushed her more than ample chest that was even bigger than Yang's almost pressed against his face as-
The woman paused, she was short, barely taller than Jaune as she cocked her head down, a wry grin passed her lips as-
DANGER. Jaune froze his heart stopped he felt danger coming from the woman, her eyes flashed with multicolored malice that made Jaune's blood run cold. Fear ran down Jaune's spine cold legitimate fear washed over him like a chilled blanket. Jaune was not just worried Jaune was downright terrified of this woman. Something about her made his legs want to twist and sprint in the opposite direction put as much distance between him and her as possible! This was not a normal woman this was a predator in disguise and Jaune had right now just become her next meal…''
"So Summer tell me how are things?" Ann Ren asked taking out a dish and setting a plate at the Rose Xiao-long household. The two were preparing for a joint family meal and while the men were off doing whatever it is that they did the actual work fell to the women to do again.
"Oh good! Good! You know ever since Jaune and Yang came back the two of them are much closer! Oh and do tell me how much that comic and gel cost. I know Jaune bought them for my girls with his prize money and I have to pay you back." Summer said wincing at the thought of prize money and how Jaune earned it.
"Nonsense Jaune earned his own money and he can spend it how he wishes."
"You know I can't agree to that! It's because of my own idiot for a partner that he is the reason Jaune is fighting! I wish he would not be such a bad influence on him!"
"Calm down Summer as eccentric as Qrow is he is good with the children. Jaune and Nora love him to death. And he is the closest thing to a father that they both have."
"I wish Tai could be like that! He is so much more responsible, I mean he is actually a father!" Summer said checking the boiling pot of stew on the stove. The swirling white liquid chocked full of vegetables and meat bubbled up as Summer raised a spoon to her mouth.
"Almost done!"
"Tai is a great man but he is just that a man. Qrow is like a large child with an alcohol license, automatic weapons, and disposable income. So Nora and Jaune latch onto him. Ren likes Tai she appreciates the more mature men in her life." Ann added moving a stack of freshly buttered dinner rolls to the large Rose table as Summer sighed.
"Tai is perfect!"
"Speaking of perfect how did he take our gift?" Ann asked a mischievous look in her magenta eyes as Summer grinned.
"Oh, he put up a fight!"
"He did? Tell me more."
"Oh, he thought it was too much! That it would hurt, but don't worry I convinced him to take it like a man."
"Did he take it? All of it?" Ann asked her hands covering her mouth as Summer bean to grinned evilly.
"Oh, it was a stretch! I thought it was too much for him but he grinned and bore it! It was looking close but he took it all! I was so proud of him!"
"DId you reward him? Did you give him that?"
"I did! And he was so happy! I love my man!"
"I wish Jaune would finally pick a girl. He has Ruby and Yang practically beating his head in and my Ren is not going to give them a free pass for long."
"I'm trying! Ruby thinks it's just cute to be a big sistress, and Yang is too shy!"
"Well, Summer you should teach her."
"Teach her?"
"Yes, teach Ruby that difference between being a big sistress and being a mistress. Show her the difference you know?"
"She's only fifteen. I'll tell her before Beacon."
"I see, oh well until then who is Jaune's friend he is bringing home?" Ann asked as Summer paused. Jaune had made a new friend over the last few weeks. One he was quite adamant about he even spent the night at his house! Ann did not know who this friend was but if Jaune was comfortable enough to invite him to dinner he must be a good person!
"I thought you knew?"
"I thought you knew?" Ann parroted as both mothers paused, Jaune said he had a special friend he was bringing over and for the life of them they could not think of who it was…
Qrow was having a bad day. And unlike most bad days this one had nothing to do with his semblance.
"Jaune you sure this is a good idea?" The man asked already contemplating buying a ticket to Mistral to get the hell out of Patch.
"Sure am uncle! I can't wait for you to meet my family!" Jaune said as he sat in the back seat of Tai and Summer's jeep. His companion stifled a giggled as ash gripped his hand. Yup, Qrow thought he was dreaming but no. Jaune had actually gotten himself a girlfriend, a much, much older girlfriend who's age made their relationship barely legal and highly questionable.
A girlfriend that Qrow had helped Jaune hide for the past two weeks. Jaune's first dip into romance was done with the grace of Yang running down the halls after Ruby broke one of her hair brushes. Jaune wanted to run to tell his mom, Summer, his sisters Ruby, Yang, and Tai about his new lover…
"Jaune are you sure you want to bring your lady friend with you? You know you could introduce her on a one on one basis! You know not at a family dinner where there is an abundance of sharp objects and hormonal teenagers with aura unlocked around." Qrow asked trying to salvage a situation and stop a potential bloodbath from happening.
"No way! Mom and my sisters need to meet her in person! And besides what better way than to have them all meet her at once?" Jaune asked with the naivety of a child about to stick his knife in an electrical socket hoping to be recharged by the energy.
"Jaune... how long have you know your friend?" Qrow asked already building up his excuse line.
"Two weeks! Remember you meet her after my win against that champion girl?"
"I... so that was her..."
"Yeah! You even drove me to her house for a sleepover!" Jaune said as Qrow swore he felt Summer sharpening her blades.
"I did... didn't I..."
"Sure did! Thank you for that! It was so nice to be able to spend time with her alone, I don't know if mom would let me spend the night at a girls house but you convinced her! thank you uncle Qrow!"
"Your welcome just don't be too hard on them ok?"
"Hard on who?"
"Your sisters Jaune that's who."
"But what would I be hard on them? What did I do?"
"You might have just caused a minor bloodbath in our home."
"How?"
"Jaune have you ever heard of the story of the four maidens?"
"No why?"
"I... I actually have no idea... I was honestly waiting for Tai to step in and be the better parent there."
"But uncle Tai is not here?"
"He's never there when I actually need him. Typical Tai..."
"We made it!" Qrow said opening the door to his home and potential gave as Jaune and his lover walked past him into the home.
"Jaune!" Nora said running around a corner the hyperactive ginger going full speed as usual as-
"Jaune! Mom! Ren! Jaune is being attacked by a strange woman!"
Nora yelled as Qrow groaned.
"And here we go," Qrow said as the house dissolved into anarchy.
"So! Qrow! Do you have anything else you want to say?" Summer asked her voice outright cheerful and peppy but the fact she was sharpening her butter knife into a dagger betrayed any joy that Qrow would take.
To say that Qrow was the least popular person at the dinner table would actually not be true!
Sure Qrow was in the dog house for sure! But he was not the most unpopular person at the table that honor went to the unknown girlfriend who had walked into the room and sent the house into chaos.
Ann Ren was not happy, not at all and who could blame her? What mother would be happy when her son walked into their home wrapped up with a harlot?!
Who does that skank think she is!? Ann thought her teeth grinding as her Jaune, her baby boy was currently wrapped around some whore! Ann did not know how this Neo was and honestly, she did not care. She hated her.
This foul seductress had come to steal her son away from her and she was doing a damn good job. This whore or Neo as she was called was the literal embodiment of sin!
Her body was perfect! A flawless hourglass figure that rivaled her own hypnotics looks. Her chest was unreasonably huge, larger than even Yang's and much! To Ann's own ire her own chest was put to shame but the tramp.
The woman wore a form-fitting outfit of a pure white leotard that darted into a pair of loose brown jeans that hugged her long oddly muscled legs as if they were a second skin.
The woman had long pink hair and a pair of downright mesmerizing eyes one pink the other brown giving her an exotic look that even made Tai stare.
Poor bastard kept his gaze on Neo for exactly zero point three seconds too long and drew the irate gaze of his wife who responded in a typical manner.
"TAI!" Summer shouted whacking her husband at the back of his head knocking him out of his stupor.
"What? What did I do?"
"Besides staring our guest!?" Summer fought tooth and nail to saw the word guest and not a series of other expletives that came to mind.
The woman this Neo simply giggled as-
Sign? Ann thought as the woman used her ting sinful hand to say something to Jaune who nodded.
"You can sit next to me, here!" Jaune said pulling out a chair-
KESHT! The chair disintegrated. Ruby somehow who was Ann kidding Ruby always her scythe on her. She used said scythe to chop up the chair Jaune had just brought out turning it into fine wood chips.
"Ruby!? What are you doing?!"
"My hand slipped! Sorry Jaune but your... acquaintance can't sit with us for dinner!" Ruby said with a far too innocent smile as she picked up Crescent Rose and-
Neo giggled signing ot Jaune once again as he blushed.
"Neo! We can't do that here!" Jaune whined as the woman giggled silently before nodding her head.
"For real where is she going to sit? We don't have an extra chair." Qrow added briefly forgetting that while Neo was public enemy number one she did not have to sleep nearby. She would be leaving this house tonight hopefully in one piece and not with the looming threat of angry parents, nices, god nieces and neighbors to worry about for the rest of her life. Hopefully.
While the whole table beside Jaune and Neo gave him the third degree Ruby was beside herself!
Take that hussy! Now you can't sit down! Ruby thought already hating this Neo with all he heart. It was true Ruby Rose was capable of hatred, especially for people that touched what was hers! Jaune belonged to her, not Yang, nor Ren, not Nora her! Ruby was his big sistress and if this witch! Thought she could steal her man she had another thing coming!
"But where will you sit?" Jaune asked again as Neo signed? Why won't she talk? Ruby thought as Jaune sighed.
"Fine, we can do it your way, as always."
Don't smile for her! Only smile for me, you idiot!
Jaune pulled out a chair patting his lap as Neo grinned.
"After you," Jaune said as Neo walked to his side and promptly sat on his lap. KISHT! THe sound of snapping metal filled the air as Ann snapped her fork in half. The woman's eye twitched as her muscles tenses. Ren looked ready to gouge Neo's eyes out with her spoon and Nora began to look at Neo's leg with a decisively unhealthy glare.
Yang's eyes turned red and Ruby's mouth fell and hung open like a door with its hinges undone. Summer smiled in such a way that it made the male's at the tables blood run cold as-
"So! Jaune how did you meet Neo? Tell us you two must be great friends!" Tai said hoping to keep his home from becoming a murders scene as Jaune blinked owlishly.
"Friends? Uncle Tai Neo is my girlfriend!"
"No, she is not!" Yang shouted slamming a fist to the table making the silverware clatter as-
"Yang? Of course, she is!"
"How?! How long have you known her?!"
'Two to three weeks."
"And you just started dating her!?"
"Sure! She asked me out after I gave her my ice cream and we have been going steady? Is that the word?" Jaune asked as Neo nodded giggling as she ground her self into jaune lap making her a target for every other person with an extra chromosome as the other males began to sweat.
"So! You and your... girlfriend have been going out for over two weeks? How come you never introduce her before! I'm sure we would have loved to meet her!"
"OH! Uncle Qrow told me not to." Jaune said a Qrow…
A chair clattered to the floor as the sound of flapping wings filled the air, the table froze as they were treated to the sight of a crow literally. Opening a window with its talons and flying out into the night.
"Crow! "
"Get back here old man!"
"He flew the coup! Off with his head!"
"Summer do you think the stew could use some meat? I'm thinking bird, crow specifically."
"Yes, Ann I do think the stew needs more meat!" Summer said stabbing the table as-
"Aunt Summer? Mom? Is there something wrong?" Jaune asked struggling to see past the mop of pink hair obstructing his vision.
"Not at all, sweetie!"
"You did nothing wrong Jaune."
"Good! I'm just glad you all are getting along with Neo! She's great, but where did Qrow go?"
"To commit suicide," Tai grumbled before a warning glare from Sumer made him zip his lip.
"So Neo! How do you know my son?" Anna asked finally addressing the elephant in the room as Neo giggled. Taking out her and making several complicated pantomimes before the woman blinked owlishly at her.
"What the hell is wrong with her? Can't she speak?" Yang growled not happy at all that this slut was taking her man.
"Yeah! What's her deal? She thinks her legs are too good to be broken!?"
"She is quite uptight."
"He's my younger sibling!"
"Girls! Let Neo speak." Summer said somehow reluctantly defending her guest as-
"Neo can't talk. She's a mute, a White Fang attack left her mute as a child." Jaune said frowning as Neo let a forlorn look cross her face instantly everyone in the table felt like shit.
"She's still a jerk'
"Nora!"
"Sorry, mom!"
"Yang! Ruby! Apologize!"
"What?!"
"Don't want to!"
"Ruby Rose! You apologize for that this instant or there will be no cookies for a month!"
"What!? That's not fair!"
"It's ok! It's ok!" Jaune said as Neo mimicked his hands placating the table as she gave Ruby a look that could only be described as pity.
"I know some sign, so Neo! Tell me how you met my nephew?" Tai asked as Neo nodded her hands flipping and maneuvering as Tai nodded.
"I see... that sounds like Jaune."
"Tai? Dear, don't keep me waiting!"
"Oh! Right honey, it looks like Neo met Jaune like he said. She spilled her ice cream and Jaune was so kind as to give her his own. He was spending the money he Qrow and Nora." Tai said giving the ginger a glare who looked everywhere but at him and her siblings whistling loudly as he went on.
"He paid for her cone and she asked him out on a date. After that well? They have been dating for three weeks and they both seem happy!" Tai said emphasizing the happy to say that Jaune likes her! If she goes missing under mysterious circumstances it would make Jaune sad!
"That sounds like my son always looking out for others," Ann said as Neo nodded before singing to Tai again.
"It also looks like Neo is saying thank you for letting Jaune spend the night at her house..." Tai knew that in the morning there was going to be apart of a local woman taking a bb gun to birds around bars as Ann looked ready to blow a gasket.
"He what!?"
"She says he spent the night! Qrow dropped him off and you even gave Jaune permission!"
"I did no such thing!"
"You did mom! You told me I could spend the night at a friends house!"
"You said his name was Roman!"
"That's her big brother!"
"Roman?" Summer asked her silver eyes narrowing for a brief second as recognition passed behind them.
"Was he there when you were alone with her? Was this Roman there to supervise you?"
"What? No, Roman works nights. He says that the best way to make money is to take it from someone else! He's a joker!" Jaune said as Summer gagged.
"No way." The rose said her eyes flying open as Noe giggled leaning back and pecking Jaune on his lips.
"NO!" Ruby shouted her hands flying up to her face as her! Little brothers lisp were defiled and-
"Ruby? What's wrong?"
"She kissed you!"
"So? We have kissed before."
"You have?!" Four voices said at once as Jaune's sisters looked oddly disturbed for some reason, Jaune did not know why. Maybe it was the food?
Jaune thought before taking a piece of bread along with a scoop of the salad next to it, making sure to grab some of Summer's famous deserts a vanilla cake decked with cherries on top as-
"Neo. As much as I do not know you well enough to judge I must say. Jaune is my son he is just a boy if you do not lead him on the right path-
"Not a boy a man?" Tai said before wincing he translated on autopilot and-
"What does that mean!?" Anna asked as Neo smirked taking a cherry from the plate licking it once kissing Jaune again much to Ruby's chagrin brief taking the cherry putting it dead between her teeth looking Ann dead in the eye's before squeezing her teeth down as she popped it...
AN: There we go! Another chapter of God's Mistake! Jaune dethroned a champ! Ruby is pissed, Qrow is on the run and Neo made a man out of Jaune?! How will this end up well that's for next time!
