A/N: Hey guys! Jitterwhack here. I'm still working on The Faunus King and Hero, but I ran into a little bump on the road. I only watched the twelve episodes once, so I'm unsure how to type it out. So I'm rewatching Maoyuu again until I get a good memory of things. Reason is because most of the stuff I remember was some economic stuff like potatoes and merchants getting rich from war.
Anyways! While I'm rewatching the 12 episodes, here's a Ninjas of Love chapter to show I'm still writing. Enjoy!
Blake had the greatest plan for Grimm Studies class. No, it wasn't a way for Port to teach a real lesson without telling a long and boring tale. It was getting into the perfect seating arrangement that made her free to read her book without worry.
Sitting way in the back next to Nora and Ruby was a great plan. With all the wasted sugar they eat, Port's story knocked them out. And there was no chance anyone would be looking behind her. Not unless their semblance happened to be walking through walls. Hiding her novel behind a textbook, she started where she left off last time.
Chapter 1: Foreign Devils
It had been two years since the opening of the gates. A lot had changed since then. The Oniwaban group had disbanded. True to Tucson's words, the moment all members had calmed down, a majority believed in peace through the Emperor's decision. Adam and a few other members still refused the idea to the point they became a terrorist group to go against the foreigners visiting.
Emperor Ren made it known that their group was not to be associated with all his people. The generals and all councilmen of the other world understood, as they too had their own problems to deal with on their side. But with the hardships came a few rewards. A new trade alliance had been formed. One that was run by both human and faunus.
Adam made a new Oniwaban group calling themselves the White Fang. But with that group came another group to combat against them. They called themselves Hunters. Sun, along with the rest of the old Oniwaban and a few humans, joined them in hopes to sway their old master to cease his terrorism. Blake was not among them.
Her days as an Oniwaban died, along with her hopes her master would accept change. Shattering her blade, she went off on her own journey to see how the peace would hold.
Benzaiten Port
"C'mon Blake!" shouted a silver-eyed bat faunus. "They're almost here."
Blake was following the sister of her country's emperor, Ruby. Technically, she was his half sister. The former emperor had five wives, but only two were able to bear him children.
"Be patient princess." Blake said in a whisper. "Your brother said his arrival isn't for ten more minutes."
Over the two years, Blake had stayed as a ninja to protect over the emperor. A few White Fang have tried to sneak in, but were stopped by his majesty's elite guards. Blake was assigned as Ruby's protector when she was almost kidnapped in the middle of the night. Their relationship started as something small and nonexistent, but grew up to what they have today. Ruby saw her as a friend she could always talk to, and Blake saw her as her light of hope in times of darkness.
"Don't call me that!" Ruby whined. Grabbing Blake's cheek, she tugged it in a playful manner. "You wouldn't like it if I called you ninja now, would you?"
"Okay Ruby." Blake said with a chuckle. Before she could say anything else, the two heard a loud horn blow from the horizon and the many cheers of the citizens.
"Our emperor has returned!" shouted one bear faunus.
Ruby and Blake pushed by the crowd as they saw a giant battleship docking into port. It looked brand new and was decorated for the emperor's return. On the front side of the ship, it bore the name Misaka.
"He's back!" Ruby squealed while holding Blake's hand. The young princess was jumping on the balls of her feet trying to see over the crowd. There was no need as the crowd made way for the emperor as he walked off the ship.
"Elder brother!" Getting past the crowd, Ruby ran to Ren and stood in front him. Blake was behind her the whole time. "It's great to see you again."
As the two siblings chatted, Blake looked behind her liege to see a group of men standing behind him taking the scenery in. The first person she took notice of was who she presumed to be the leader of the group; a man who had some stubble and was wearing a cape. She could tell he was observing the crowds, looking for any hostiles.
"Emperor." The man interrupted, gaining his attention. "I know you haven't seen your sister for months now, but we need to get you two somewhere safe and discuss the matter at hand."
"You're right." Ren said tiredly. Grabbing Ruby's hand he motioned for her to follow before turning to Blake. "Blake, I want you to scout the roofs. Be discrete."
With a nod, Blake took to the roofs.
"Jaune, follow her. Be her back up." Said the leader of the group behind the emperor. Ruby watched as a blonde man Blake's age took to the roofs after her. He wasn't as fast or as elegant as her, but he was able to catch up in his own way. To Ruby, it looked like he was flying.
"It would be better if we had two people looking out for us instead of just one Emperor." The man explained. "I hope you're okay with this."
Ren simply nodded as they took off. Pulling his sister's hand, he led them to a carriage where he, Ruby, and the leader of the foreign men sat together while another drove to the palace.
As the ride was silent with Ruby looking out the window to see how Blake faired, she saw her scouting the area while the blonde man was a few meters behind surveying another area. After a few minutes, Ruby thought it was time to beak the silence.
"Um, Mr…" Ruby inquired.
""Branwen. Qrow Branwen." He said with his arms folded with a relaxed smile. "Your brother talked about you a few times."
"Okay Mr. Branwen." Ruby said. "I wanted to know who you guys are."
"We'll tell you at the castle Ruby." Ren said with his eyes closed. "It's not safe to tell information out in the open."
"But-" Ruby tried to argue.
"Listen to your brother little princess." Qrow said kindly. "We need to be silent of what's to come."
Grumbling for a second, Ruby decided to look to the roofs and follow Blake. From how it looked, Blake was having a good time staying far away from the blonde. Suddenly, a new question popped into her head.
"Who's the blonde guy following Blake?" she asked Qrow.
"…I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you about him." Qrow said, looking out the window for a bit to see his subordinate. "His name is Jaune Arc. You could say he's an apprentice of mine. The ex-prince of Arcadia."
"Are you sure it was wise to tell her that here?" Ren said with narrowed eyes.
"It wouldn't matter to her or the enemies." Qrow defended. "Jaune is nothing like the blood that flows through his veins."
"What do you mean by ex-prince?" Ruby asked with worry. What if he was a criminal? What if they were mercenaries?
"You'll figure that out sometime." The cape-wearing leader said after leaning back to relax. "I suggest brushing up on Arcadia to see for yourself."
After that, the ride to the carriage was nothing but silent.
Palace Gates
Getting off the carriage first, Ruby waited for her friend and protector before following her brother and their guest. Lagging behind, Ruby opted to ask Blake questions.
"Do you know anything about the man that was scouting with you Blake?" Ruby asked in a whisper.
"No Ruby." Blake said with a huff. "I thought I'd need to slow down for him to follow, but he was adept in catching up with us the whole time."
"I asked about him on the ride here." The princess continued to whisper. "Blake …what do you know about Arcadia?"
At that question, Blake had to suppress a growl in her throat at the name.
"Arcadia was one of the places that was highly against all faunus." Blake said, remembering all the images and stories Adam had told her about. "They were a prosperous country to the humans, but a hell on this world to all faunus who entered. Every faunus that was put into Arcadia became a slave. The rule was under a monarchy. I don't know much about the royals, but I heard that this generation had seven princesses and one prince. Luckily the prince was pronounced dead."
"But he's not dead Blake." Whispered Ruby in haste. "The man that was following you was the former prince of Arcadia."
Looking forward, Blake had to restrain herself from attacking the blonde where he stood. He was currently standing in front of the council meeting room observing a painting. Before she could march up to him, Ruby beat her to it.
"Hello." She greeted with an awkward smile. Blake was prepared to strike him if he showed any hostility. "I was …wondering where the others were."
"They're in that room having a meeting." He said while looking at the door. "Aren't you going to attend it?"
"Ren told me I'm not part of it." She said while kicking the floor. "Maybe you could answer a few of my question? You're leader said I could get answers once we're in the palace. And …here we are."
Thinking it over, Jaune decided it would be okay to give her some answers. "Fire away."
"Great!" Ruby clapped her hands together. "First one. …Who are you guys?"
"…Do you mean each of us, or our group?" The blonde said with a smile.
"Your whole group."
"I guess you could call us renegades." He said unsure. "We don't really have a specific name, but we do have a cheer. Renegades for life."
"Blake." Ruby looked to her friend. "What does renegade mean?"
"It means traitor Ruby." Blake said, never taking her gaze off the former prince.
"Thanks." Turning back to Jaune, Ruby continued. "Does that mean you fought on the faunus side during the war?"
"I did." Jaune specified himself. "A few of the others joined after the war ended."
"Wow." Ruby said in wonder. "That sounds amazing."
"Why are you guys here?" Blake cut in. Ruby looked at her, hearing the hidden anger in her tone. Turning back to Jaune, she saw he could hear her anger too.
"We're here to capture Adam Taurus." He said with conviction.
That answer was not what Blake was expecting. "W-why?"
"We know he's the leader of the White Fang." Jaune started. "For the past year and a half, his group has caused terrorism on both sides of the world. We thought his group only targeted humans, but we were wrong. During a meeting in the Dust Empire, a faunus representative that went by the name Fox and his grouped were slaughtered in the meeting room along with the rest of the humans."
Blake knew of that meeting. It was meant to solidify the peace between the two countries. It was never specified why it was cancelled, so the people were unaware and thought of it as a silent territorial war. Was Adam really planning to cause a world war?
"How do you know it was him?" Blake shouted. Ruby looked in fear seeing her friend losing herself. "How are you not sure it wasn't another group that attacked? It could have been a human group that could have done it!"
"Because we have three witnesses." Qrow said opening the door. Looking at the three, he saw a princess shaking in fear, a cat faunus ready to fight, and his apprentice sweating where he stood. "Me, and the two surviving princesses of the Dust Empire. We saw Adam himself break into the meeting room and slaughter with that red sword of his. I'm sure you know all about it. Don't you. Former Oniwaban."
Losing her senses, Blake unsheathed her sword and charged the leader of the renegades. Ruby yelled for her to stop, but it fell on deaf ears. Before the two girls knew what happened, Blake was on lying on the floor on her back with Jaune pointing a riding crop at her throat.
"Don't point your blade at my master." Blake stared with wide eyes at Jaune. For a moment, she saw herself saying the exact same thing when Adam was in trouble.
"Don't go defending others on a whim." Qrow said after slapping Jaune on the back of his head. "And don't call me master. You'll make me look bad."
As Ruby picked her off the floor, Blake stared at the two as they bickered. The sight reminded her of her and her former master. It tugged on her chest remembering the good times she had.
"Are you alright Blake?" Looking at the silver eyes staring at her in worry, Blake could only nod. "I think you should apologize."
"That won't be necessary." Qrow cut in. "On to important news, we have finished the meeting and have come to an agreement."
"Jaune." He continued in a commanding tone. "You'll be staying here to guard the princess while me and the rest of the renegades search for Adam and his group."
"But-" Before Jaune and Blake could protest, Qrow continued.
"The emperor believes that with his return, the White Fang will try to enter the palace again." He explained. "I'm sure you and Blake will be able to handle anything that comes your way."
"You're not sending me because of who I am aren't you?" Jaune muttered darkly.
Before any of them knew what happened, Qrow had Jaune under his foot without any struggle. "When did you get smart?"
"That's the hidden reason." Qrow said in a low tone. "With you around, anyone who recognizes you will give us a hard time. We're going in stealth Jaune. And you're the biggest target we have."
Getting off the floor, Jaune excused himself to wait outside.
"Sorry about that." Qrow said to the girls in a casual tone. "He's determined to prove his worth on the renegades. I hope you treat him kindly. He's still a child under all that brashness."
"Maybe I should go talk with him." Not waiting for a reply, Ruby ran off in Jaune's direction.
After a few minutes, she found him leaning over one of the rails looking at the city. Not trying to be sneaky, she sidestepped until she was a foot away from him. When he didn't say a word for two minutes, Ruby thought she should break the ice.
"Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you, party pooper. Party pooper." She sang. His laugh was the reaction that she was waiting for. After a moment of sharing a laugh, she decided to get serious. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
"…" After a few seconds, he decided to talk. "Do you know what I meant when I said 'it's because of who I am' Ruby?"
"You mean because you're the former prince of a kingdom that mistreated my kind?" Ruby asked bluntly.
"…Yes." Jaune deadpanned. "The reason I'm a renegade is because I turned against my whole kingdom. I turned my back against all the humans during the time of war and aided all the faunus instead."
"Do you regret it?" Ruby asked.
"No!" he said quickly. "I knew the risks of turning sides. But I thought that after all of this, that maybe, just maybe that the faunus wouldn't group me with my homeland. I gave up everything to do what I thought was right. And now both sides hate me. The only place I belong are with the renegades."
"That's not true." Ruby said grabbing his hand. "I like you."
"Thank you Ruby." He said with a little tears showing. "I needed that."
"I hope you're not going to be crying when you're guarding me." Ruby joked. "Enemies will think its open season to attack me."
"Well little princess you won't be disappointed." Jaune said puffing his chest out. "You're being guarded by one of the well trained members of the renegades."
"Ooh." Ruby played along. "Are you going to smack them with your mighty riding crop?"
As the two joked, a certain cat faunus hiding on the ceiling was deep in thought after hearing the blonde's confession.
'Maybe I was being too hard on him.' Blake thought. 'It's not his fault he was born into a royal bloodline of slavers.'
As the night followed, Ruby was currently sitting on her futon planning for the next day.
"Blake?" she called out. In a few seconds, Blake had jumped down from the secret compartment from the ceiling.
"You called Ruby?" By this time, the two of them would be retelling of the day's events and sharing their thoughts on them.
"I want you to be honest with me." She said in a commanding tone. "What do you think of Jaune?"
After a few seconds, Blake exhales before telling her thoughts. "I don't think he is competent in protecting you. No one here knows what the prince of Arcadia looks like so we don't have to worry about him being targeted soon. But-"
"Blake." Ruby cut in. "I meant whether you trust him or like him. Not his skills."
"…I don't know how I feel Ruby." Blake said while looking her in the eyes. "My instincts tell me that I'm trapped in a deadly battle with something dangerous, but my mind is telling me to fight him. It's suffocating being in the same place as him."
Moving closer to her, Ruby grabbed Blake in a soft embrace. "Why don't you sleep with me tonight?"
"What?" Blake pushed back. "I-I can't. I'm supposed to be watching over you."
"Then you can watch over me by my side." Ruby pushed on. "Don't make me turn it into an order."
"…Fine." Giving up, the two set up another futon next to Ruby's. As they fell asleep, Blake had a haunting dream.
Dream
Blake was walking through the halls of the castle. The normally busy halls during the morning were quiet, and devoid of people.
"Ruby?" she called out. "Emperor Lie? Anyone?"
Entering a room, Blake suddenly felt something tied around her neck. Grabbing at it, she could tell it was a collar. As she tried to yank it off, she heard two loud slaps before falling to her knees followed by pain on her legs.
"It's time you learnt your place." Said a voice behind her, grabbing her by the hair. Turning around, Blake narrowed her eyes to see it was Jaune.
"What do you think you're doing?" she snarled. Gaining the advantage, she swung a fist at him, only for it to be caught easily. Gripping her hand tight, he twisted it and pushed her up against the wall with his body.
"I told you." He whispered into her ear. "You're going to learn your place."
Before she knew what was happening, she was tied in a teardrop hogtie position. Looking up, Jaune was holding his riding crop while looking her in the eye. As she tried to look away from him, he grabbed her by the chin to force her to look at him.
"Don't look away." Blake could feel his breath on her lips. Snarling, she was about to bite his hand, but was stopped when he forced his lips on her. Blake tried to struggle, but soon found herself enjoying it. As they released for air, before Blake could make a smile, Jaune whipped her left breast.
"Who said you could enjoy yourself?" He whispered into her ear before nipping it. Spinning her to where she was facing away from him, Blake felt him spread her legs and hold onto her hips. "It looks like you're wet just from that kiss."
Before she could deny anything, he started whipping her again.
"Do you want it?" he asked while still whipping her. "Do you really want it that bad?"
"No!" she cried out. He started whipping harder. As she tried to struggle, Blake could feel herself reaching her peak. Just as she was about to climax, the feeling was gone the moment the whipping stopped. "Wha?"
"Don't stop!" Blake gasped at the words that escaped her mouth. She could hear him laughing at her.
"I thought you didn't enjoy it." He taunted. She felt him snake an arm around to pinch her nipple hard. "Let's try that again. But with more honesty this time."
"Do you want this?" He said while tweaking her nipple. "Do you want me to stop?"
"No." Blake whimpered. "Don't stop."
She gasped feeling him enter her. Her hymen was broken due to her training, but she was still untouched. Many women in the Oniwaban had told of the times they had their adventures, but she never believed she would experience it herself.
"What's your name?" Jaune grunted while thrusting deep into her. "Say your name!"
"Blake!" she moaned in pleasure before yelping when he whipped her back with the riding crop.
"Wrong!" Jaune snarled while pumping harder. "Say your name!"
"Blake!" she cried. Another whip. She was in the middle of pain and pleasure.
"That's not it!" Jaune snarled while pushing himself deeper. "Say your name!"
"Blake!" she cried out. She was so close to her release. Just one more whip and she'd reach her peak.
End Dream
"Blake!" Ruby shouted, shaking her friend awake. "Blake! Wake up!"
Opening her eyes in surprise, Blake screamed while flailing around. "What? Where?"
Looking to her friend, Ruby was worried for her friend. She was wincing and moaning in her sleep. The last time she had done so was when she had nightmares. She thought she was over it, but here she was again seeing her friend waking up and panting in sweat.
"Was it another nightmare, Blake?" she asked in concern.
Looking at Ruby, Blake couldn't tell her about her dream. "I-It was."
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Ruby asked trying to get closer to Blake.
Feeling her nether areas wet from her dream, Blake placed a hand on Ruby's shoulder to stop her from getting closer.
"I'm fine Ruby." Blake said calmly. "They're just nightmares. Nothing else."
As she eased her back into sleep, Blake lifted her covers to see she had stained the futon. She would have to throw it into the washing area in the morning discretely without any of the workers seeing her. Going back to sleep, she had something she needed to confirm when morning came.
As morning came, Blake woke up early to dispose of the sheets and futon. Ruby would still be asleep, which meant she had enough time to confirm her thoughts.
Sneaking through the hidden compartments, she went over to Jaune's room. Sliding the ceiling open, Blake silently snuck to his bedside. Seeing a large lump, Blake was unimpressed by his carelessness. Looking around, she found it: the riding crop.
Reaching for it, Blake would see for herself if what she felt in her dreams and what she would feel in real life would be the same. Just as she was about to grab it, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the covers.
As she struggled, she felt the other hand grasp her head before pushing it hard on the futon. She was now facedown with her arm behind her back and her assaulter on top of her. As the covers were thrown off, Blake moved her head to see the man holding her down. She immediately regretted sneaking into his room, because she learnt something new about Jaune Arc. He slept in the buff.
As she tried to struggle more, Blake was able to move her legs freely. Shifting her legs so she could lift her hips, she gasped as she felt something hard in between her cheeks.
"Get off!" Blake yelled. Using her free hand, she tried pinching his arm since lifting it was out of the question.
Feeling pain in his arm, Jaune came fully awake before looking down. Seeing Blake under him, and feeling his crotch between he cheeks, he immediately jumped off her before wrapping his lower half with the covers.
"Why are you in here?" Jaune asked with a blush.
"Why are you naked?!" Blake asked back after getting off the futon.
"It's hot at night." He argued. "And you still haven't answered why you're in here? More importantly, how'd you get in? The door was locked!"
"I'm here to collect you. Ruby will be waking up soon, and it's our job to guard her." She half-lied quickly. True, they would be guarding Ruby, and true she would be waking up soon; but Ruby herself would met up with Jaune at the courtyard.
Seeing that he was about to put his clothes on, Blake opted to look away and wait for him to finish.
"Blake." Jaune said while fixing his belt. "Do you …hate me?"
"Why would you think that?" She continued to look away from him.
"…You know who I am." He said. "I know you do. It's obvious with the way you stare at me. Please be honest."
Blake was now nervous. Would the dream she had last night come true. She was in his room. His riding crop was holstered to his side. Would he be able to tell if she lied?
"I…" Blake started. "I don't know."
"What?"
"I don't know how I should feel about you." Blake said while gripping her hands tight. "You're the prince of the country known for it's cruelty to my kind! But at the same time …you also betrayed them to fight for our kind. But my instincts tell me I should be afraid of you."
Getting up, she faced him and ignored that he was in the middle of buttoning his shirt. "So maybe you can tell me! Why do I feel this way? Is it hate? Fear? I don't know what I'm feeling for you! But it's infuriating and confusing!"
"My master once told me something." Jaune said after a few seconds of thought. "It was when the faunus we were able to free in Arcadia tried to turn on me. People will always try to find a target to hate when they're hurt. But if you give into their actions, then the cycle of hate will continue. I am the former prince. And your people have suffered by my blood. But I want to change that Blake."
Standing in front of her, he gives her a hand to stand. "Give me a chance to show you that I'm not my people."
'He's determined to prove his worth on the renegades. I hope you treat him kindly. He's still a child under all that brashness.' Qrow's words repeated themselves in Blake's mind. He was right. Jaune wanted to prove his worth. But it wasn't just to the renegades. It was to everyone his people have wronged. Taking his hand, Blake accepted his offer.
"And that class is-" Ported continued on.
BRRRING!
"Oh. I guess we ran out of time. We'll continue tomorrow. Remember: Stay vigilante!"
As the students walked out, Blake quickly tucked her book away, before meeting up with JNPR and the rest of her team.
"You sure took your time Blake." Yang teased.
"I was just deep in thought." Blake said while moving over to Jaune. "Say, Jaune. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to learn fee-running?"
After that, Jaune had a new training schedule. It was nighttime sparring with Pyrrha and morning parkour with Blake.
