Chapter #4: JNPR Reunites & Yang Returns to Vale

Taiyang

The next morning Tai prepared Yang a breakfast, bran mixed with berries and yoghurt, healthy and filling with energy to burn which he was sure she would do since she was heading over to Vale for the night. When she informed him that it would be for the night he was hesitant to say yes, though she was technically an adult and could just go anyway.

The trip on boat would take about an hour so they'd woken up at seven and had been going since then. Breakfast for himself and Yang followed by a shower each and making sure she had everything she needed in her overnight bag. A change of clothing and her toothbrush and toothpaste after she'd brushed her teeth of course.

Being autumn now Tai made sure she had the appropriate clothing, thick and warm, no shorts only pants. Good ones too because she and Nora were apparently going out. A large coat with a hood was also a must and came from his person collection, his symbol was large and embroidered on its back.

The idea of his not so little girl going out gave Tai mixed feelings. On one hand she was going out with friends, be that shopping, to get make up done, to see a movie, have lunch or the one he dreaded most… going out on the town. Vale had a few good clubs that he and Qrow used to frequent along with Raven on occasion. Summer had joined them on a couple of occasions but after the first one she didn't drink. Tai had ended up in a fist fight with a fellow huntsman in training who wouldn't leave her alone.

It ended up with the opponent in hospital as his aura had faded during what turned out to be an expensive fight. Tai was stood down but on the plus side his teammates all gave him props for protecting the leader.

Now that was part of the reason why Tai was worried, what if Yang ran into some moron who wouldn't take no for an answer and Nora wasn't around. He knew his little dragon was more than strong, but what if it was a drunk huntsman or one in training. How would she fair being an arm short. He felt chills run up his spine as he started up the car, ready to take Yang to the port.

The other reason was that Yang would find someone she liked the look of and go home with him or her. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he was starting to feel closer to his daughter for the wrong reasons. Sure, he was supportive and tried to give her confidence like a parent should. But then there were his other feelings that kept finding their way back into his mind.

Feelings of attraction, pride, lust, longing. On the passenger's seat he'd failed to move the book he'd been reading over the last few weeks, the one that Summer had suggested he read, the one about the two sisters entering a forbidden relationship. The same one that he'd been putting himself in at times, thinking of himself and Yang being the starring characters in the novel.

The house too shut without his notice, Tai only snapping to attention when the car door was opened, and Yang slipped in wearing her usual grey-brown cargo pants and orange tank top. Although today she was wearing a different jacket and it was both tied off where her stump was and buttoned up in the front. Still his eyes were drawn to her cleavage, although there was only a little this time. He let out a soft smile and began to reverse.

The car had already been packed, one big bag packed with a few things Yang might, but probably wouldn't need, or so he hoped. He was driving quietly listening to the radio when Yang spoke up with a somewhat shocked voice.

"A forbidden relationship between sisters…" Tai's eyes widened and her looked to see Yang with a book in her hand, that book. "...Dad? Is there something you wanna tell me?" Oh no… there is definitely something I don't want to tell you. Many things in fact. Clearing his throat and blushing slightly he answered.

"I ah… your mother of all people left that for me to read, Summer. I found it when… When Ruby…" His words caught in his throat. Come on old man, I thought you were past it. He tried to motivate himself to continue speaking but found a gentle touch atop one of his hands. Looking to see Yang's hand now off the book and on his hand made his heart skip a beat.

"Anyway, I don't know what the hell she was thinking. Why give me a book like that to read when I had two daughters of my own." He chuckled and shook his head, checking his rear-view mirror to see if any vehicle was following.

"Maybe mum wanted… Ruby and I to… you know." Both father and daughter shared a look and laughed. "Oh Oum, please tell me there aren't any…"

"There are… I can assure you they are very awkward scenes to read." Yang burst out laughing.

"You actually read them? Dad! You sicko." She laughed louder, and Tai could only laugh along with her. What would she think of the thoughts he'd had about her. What would she think if she found out he loved that smile she had more than life itself, that he wanted to…

He returned his attention from the conversation and his mind to the road. There was a few more minutes silence before they spoke again. It wasn't on the matter of the book, but on what Yang and Nora intended to do over the weekend. Yang just joked praying that Nora had picked things she could do with only one hand. Though her right was her dominant so even then she was now at an even bigger disadvantage.

Arriving at the docks he could see the very ship Yang would be boarding to travel to Vale. It was a ship he'd been on countless times now and would go on countless times yet still. With him carrying the bag towards the boarding line he had to ask.

"Feeling nervous Yang?" Her answer was slow to come.

"Yeah. I don't know how Nora will treat me now, and Ren will probably be with her too so…" She looked up at her father with almost shaking eyes. He frowned and put an arm around her pulling her close.

"You'll be fine. They're your friends and can understand what you've been through… from what they've heard of course. Maybe tell them you'd rather not address the, or both of the issues that cause you pain." He was meaning not only her arm, but her little sister Ruby too.

"Yeah that might make things go a bit smoother." Yang nodded in agreement. "But what if they ask about how I'm doing? I mean I tried to…" Tai squeezed her shoulder and her into his side. Oh Yang, that is something most people wouldn't like to hear about. But in saying that…

"It is up to you who you open up to about such things Yang. I only ever opened up to Summer and Qrow, Ozpin too, and you not long ago at all. None of those people judged me because I lucked out and chose the right people to confide in. You just have to decide who you trust and if you want to discuss it with them… I'm sure they'll come to understand and support you." He kissed the top of her head. "Your dad will always support you though."

Yang seemed to take his words and soak them up as she didn't say anything more than thank you. Tai just nodded and walked his little girl to the line where she'd have to check in. He put the bag over her shoulder, he glared at the attendant when she moved to help Yang. He knew Yang would rather be independent when out in public.

Walking her further until there was an admission point where only passengers were allowed on they both stopped. Yang turned to Tai and looked up nervously. Oum, she's so cute when she'd afraid. He chuckled.

"What's so funny? I'm… actually kind of nervous, like more than when I left for Beacon… though I had Ruby with me then." Seeming to catch her words late her face fell. Tai bumped her chin with his gently closed hand so she would look him in the eyes.

"Nothing is funny, just thinking back at how cute you used to be when you were little and nervous." Yang scoffed in return and went to punch him but paused.

"And? You saying I'm not cute now or something?" She practically growled at him. Holding his hands up in defence and with a smile on his face he chuckled again.

"I never said that. Though I think the more accurate word would be beautiful." Yang blushed as her father complimented her.

"You're not just saying it because you have to right? You mean it? Even about my…" She flailed her stump around a little and Tai nodded.

"You're right I do have to say it. But I do mean it, and it's the entirety of you that is beautiful." His eyes betrayed him as he looked her over. "Your stump included Yang." This time Yang's cheeks went even redder. I shouldn't have looked her over like that… such a…

"You're such a lecherous father you know." She told him with a glare. She moved closer and gave him a small hug. Did she just! "But thank you. For meaning it dad." There was a softness to her voice that let Tai know he was off the hook in this case anyway. "I think that book has done things to your head." She teased, crossing the point where Tai couldn't follow.

"You might be right." He answered with a wave. Yang went to wave and succeeded. He waited until she was aboard before going and grabbing himself a coffee. While there he went outside to the viewing zone where family and friends could give a final farewell to their precious person crossing the small slip of water over to Vale. There he waited until the ship would take to leaving.

It took the ship half an hour from when he and Yang parted to depart from it's docking station. He looked up wondering if Yang had dared go outside and look about. A glimpse of long flowing golden hair let him know where his Sunny Little Dragon was. He waved to her again, knowing he'd see her again in a less than two nights, hopefully in a better state of mind.

The ship sounded its horn loudly, a signal of it departing. Tai kept looking up at Yang until there was a tapping at his shoulder. He didn't want to turn away but he figured it might be important.

"Can I help you?" He asked finding a younger woman smiling at him. She was by no mean unattractive, in fact Tai could count two other men staring at her behind out of his peripheral vision.

"I know you already have a coffee, but could I buy you breakfast? Name's Tyra." Her hair was a beautiful shade of purple, her eyes green and her skin fair in shade. If Tai hadn't been feeling so strongly about someone in particular right then it would have been an easy yes.

Her hair was tied back in a bun, she wore a suit making her appear to be a business woman of sorts, the stereotypical ones' people imagine. It was odd considering Tai was in his casual, normal clothing he wore around home, only his shorts were pants and he wore a jacket since it was cold. Her hips and chest captivating, but compared to Yang's… Oum cursed me. She's beautiful yet.

"I'm Taiyang, nice to meet you Tyra. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on breakfast." He was already full anyway, the big feed he made for himself and Yang would mean he'd eat next to nothing even if he said yes to going for breakfast. The woman Tyra looked a little shocked at her offer being rejected.

She gave a small smirk that made Tai a little uneasy, then she just turned and left. Those two other guys staring at her the entire time. He turned back to find himself unable to see Yang aboard the ship. Be safe Yang.

Pyrrha

Just like Nora had told them to, team JNPR arrived in full strength, with the addition of Velvet who scarily left Pyrrha side nowadays. Pyrrha only had a few minutes to talk with her team, and the one thing she really wanted to know was when Jaune got those scars.

It was obviously a Beowolf or Ursa that did it, the gagged claw marks on his right jawline and neck. Turned out that it was fresh, the reason why Jaune hadn't been with Ren and Nora yesterday was because he was at the hospital making sure there weren't any lasting effects. Thankfully his aura had recharged some overnight and the healing had sped up rapidly. I always knew he had a lot of aura. Pyrrha smiled as she recalled her own words when she first unlocked his aura.

"So what do you think? Doesn't stand out too much right?" Jaune questioned both Velvet and Pyrrha. The rabbit moved to the left and looked at it a little closer making Jaune blush.

"I think yours will be the second most showy scar from battle today Jaune." Pyrrha said, trying to make him feel a bit better. "Mine is nicely hidden in these clothes and…" She didn't want to bring up Yang's missing arm, that would surely be the worst of the wounds.

"I hear girls like scars Jauney. Maybe if you come out tonight we'll find you a nice girl who likes scars." Nora chimed in, a devilish grin on her face. Nora please, no. Pyrrha begged as the horn of the ship sounded.

Velvet jumped as it was rather loud for her more sensitive Faunus ears. Pyrrha put a hand on her back and smiled, that smile brought a blush to the rabbit's face as she quietly apologised.

"Lets go to the reception area. We'll catch Yang as she disembarks." Ren had a point, there was no point waiting so far away and risking missing Yang and prolonging their meeting with the sole member of team RWBY left in Vale, a though that scared Pyrrha to no end. The only member of their sister team.

She hadn't been there at Ruby's funeral because of her own condition. Hadn't called or messaged Yang to see if she was ok. Hadn't asked much more than she could handle as she was sure Yang was in pain, though she had prayed for her every now and then, hoping to see the powerful and fiery brawler well again.

Pyrrha followed at the back of the group talking with Jaune quietly as Velvet remained in the middle, glancing back at Pyrrha every few seconds. She could tell the Faunus was a little uncomfortable, especially since the whole White Fang attacking made the humans around a little more… anxious when a Faunus was around.

"So Velvet… Nora said you were training with her when they found you yesterday." Jaune commented, catching the Faunus constantly looking back.

"I was. She's the sole reason why I'm trying to get better, well I mean… well enough to chase being a huntress again. I thought that I would be resigned to a normal life after my injury." Her hand went to her chest where the scar from the arrow and surgery was hidden beneath a turtle neck, long sleeved jersey.

"Well I'm glad you're getting back to normal… I don't know what I would be without my partner." He looked at Pyrrha and she at him. Both shared a smile.

"Just don't get in any more trouble Jaune. Our team nearly lost me, we can't lose our leader." Jaune looked as though he was going to cry.

"I'm not that good. I'm better than I was… but I'm still pretty useless really. I got beat up by a bunch of Grimm, no body gets beaten up by a bunch of Grimm nowadays. I've been thinking I should give leadership to someone else." Pyrrha couldn't believe what she was hearing, the boy that forged his way into Beacon and became the leader of probably the best first year team in the school wanted to hand the reins over.

"No. You're not allowed. I'm coming back and I'm still socially awkward. Ren's too quiet, and Nora is…" They both looked past Velvet to see Nora walking backwards. She saw them looking and waved, Ren had to pull her to the side to avoid her walking into a small child. "Yeah she'd just Nora things up. You were the right choice. You still are."

Jaune sniffed and stopped walking. Pyrrha stopped too and wondered what her partner and leader was thinking. She had only said what she truly thought.

"Can I have a hug?" He asked causing Pyrrha to giggle. She moved forwards and embraced her recently shaken friend and both gave a gentle squeeze. As they parted Jaune took a deep breath. "I needed that, all of it. Thanks Pyrrha, I always said you were the best. And I don't mean just you combat ability either."

He walked forwards and nodded to Velvet who stopped a little way ahead, waiting, watching. Once he'd gone past her the rabbit and the champion came together and walked side by side. She partially hid behind Pyrrha.

"What did you two talk about?" She asked curiously, a hint of jealousy in her tone. Pyrrha giggled.

"He was shaken and needed a boost. Kind of like the boosts you keep giving me little bunny." Her hand reached down and in a bold move took Velvet's hand in her own. The rabbit flinched, Pyrrha felt it. Her hand jerking away before slowly returning to as normal as possible.

It's so soft and warm, if her hand is like this imagine her ears. Pyrrha thought as she tightened her grip, Velvet returning the action. They continued the rest of the way to the reception area like that, hand in hand even as the waited for Yang. Sure there were a few odd looks they got, Pyrrha a well known warrior hold hands with a Faunus, how absurd.

They didn't have to wait long as Nora pointed out the golden hair that only Yang could have. From afar she seemed fine, only when the crowd started to thin, and the brawler got closer and sighted not just Nora, but the whole of team JNPR plus one did things change. Her confident smile was quick to fade, her lilac eyes turned to the ground.

None of this stopped Nora who ran up to Yang as soon as she got through the final check in gate. Pyrrha saw the bag drop from Yang's shoulder as the bomber wrapped her arms around her friend. Yang in response wrapped her arm around Nora, her eyes closed.

Nora opted to carry Yang's bag and was allowed to unlike any other person who had offered on the ship, it might have been because Nora wouldn't take no for an answer. As Yang neared them Pyrrha felt nervous, she saw the tied off sleeve and tried to keep her attention on Yang's face or hair. But her eyes always shifted back to where her arm used to be and the empty sleeve that hung down a bit.

"I'm sure you remember our upperclassman Velvet, right Yang?" Nora started as they got close enough for normal levels of conversation. She nodded smiled, eyes flicking down to… Oh Oum! We're still holding hands! Pyrrha realised and although she moved her hand slowly to release, Velvet just tightened her grip.

"You two look cosy, so when did this happen? And why didn't you tell me over the scroll Nora." Yang threatened Nora with a grin. Wait, does she see us as… It was then that Pyrrha realised that maybe that was the reason Velvet continued to hold her hand, to send a message to Pyrrha that, maybe they suited being a couple, even if they weren't actually one.

"Nothing like that happened. Holding Pyrrha's hand just puts me at ease since people are… more untrusting of Faunus these days." Velvet's words were true and hurtful, team JNPR and team CFVY were both ran as much damage control as they could after the initial fall of Beacon. Both having friends who were Faunus made the struggling Faunus more willing to deal with and trust them.

Yang didn't appear to believe it at all, and Pyrrha was more than a little hurt, displeased with the reasoning behind Velvet's hand holding. She figured they talk about it afterwards, but not anymore. There was nothing to talk about after all, no hidden feels, at least no mutual ones that Pyrrha knew about.

"Well I suppose if it helps." Her eyes finally found Pyrrha's emerald orbs and the champion froze. She felt her heartrate climbing and then of all things her eyes flicked to the side. That tied of jersey was… "Strange right. Imagine how it feels." Yang lifted her stump with all eyes now on it.

Pyrrha teared up and put a hand over her mouth. Yang couldn't be what she was. Her own wound was healing, and she was recovering her fighting form, but Yang, she'd be forever changed and the only thing that could help her was a good prosthetic and she knew how expensive those things could be.

Yang caught sight of Pyrrha's tears and softly smiled. She looked around to find both Ren and Nora looking at her smiling, eyes alight with something Pyrrha just couldn't comprehend. Then Yang found Jaune who blushed. He turned his head and Yang lowered her stump.

"No way. When did this happen? I thought you weren't injured in the fall?" Yang asked shocked. Nora explained how it happened and was again scolded for not informing her. Then of all things a joke. "The ladies will be lining up now Vomit boy." Jaune groaned while Nora laughed, even Ren coughed trying to hide his amusement.

She's… enjoying herself, joking with friends like nothing's happened. She wanted to ask how she was doing, how she was really doing. If she was hiding her pain to benefit them the sight of what Pyrrha had expected to be terrible. Yet Yang was smiling and laughed and Pyrrha's mouth hung open a little, until a little rabbit pushed it closed.

"You shouldn't stare like that. She's having fun so why not try to enjoy her company like you used to." Velvet was right, but Pyrrha had never spent a lot of time with Yang before. Her and Weiss spent time together, even Blake, but the two sisters she was less familiar with. That and her own socially awkward self would make her look like a fool, she knew that much.

"We booked you a hotel Yang. Well, you and Nora one since our room is a little cramped already." Yang smiled hearing Ren's words, she'd be staying someplace fancy with Nora. Pyrrha only hoped the two didn't get up to too much mischief before dawn came around.

The trip was short since the hotel wasn't too far from the port meaning that when it was time for Yang to go she didn't have to hurry. It was a multi-story complex with a bronzed archway the led into the foyer. There were seats and benches inside, but no one took any as Nora went to the front desk where she gave her name and received two swipe cards, one for each occupant.

She led the way with Yang following closely while asking about what they'd been up to. Pyrrha strained her ears to listen in as she hadn't caught up with her team in a while either. Mostly it was more exaggerated stories on Nora's behalf with Ren commenting its true statistics or figures, sometimes just sighing heavily. It was something most of the group was used to from their time at Beacon.

The room was on the third floor but was pretty standard. A small fridge and a microwave, two single beds, a TV with the standard eight channels, a sliding door that led onto a small balcony overlooking the street with a sight to the sea. That was the best feature of the room, but the facilities were the hotels main attraction and why Nora had picked out that particular one.

An indoor heated pool that could be booked for up to half an hour. A sauna and a spa pool, three spas actually. There was an eat in restaurant that was all you can eat thanks to how much it cost to actually stay there. Nora had been against spending so much, but Ren had insisted that Yang should be treated to something special for the night. It was after all the first time Yang had returned to Vale in over a month and without her family or team around either.

There was also a small gym area with some basic weights and machines. A gaming arcade just down the road of which Yang had already expressed the desire to look at, surely there were some one-handed games in there. Air hockey, pistol shooter games, maybe a dance platform with the whole eight different directions to step on in time.

The first stop once Yang, well Nora had put Yang's bag down was the arcade. Jaune and Nora were all for it as was Velvet. Pyrrha and Ren spent most of the time watching, Pyrrha because she usually got too competitive and sucked at almost every game she tried. Ren because Nora had taken him to so many in the past that he gave it a pass, only ever joining in when Yang asked to face him.

She watched Nora and Yang compete at every game where the playing field was even, surprisingly over half a dozen games. Jaune always fought the winner and often found himself losing. But where her eyes really strayed most of the time was to Velvet who was playing more child like games, or ones that looked peaceful or pretty. Walking over behind the Faunus she chuckled.

"You're kidding me right? You're playing as a rabbit on a game where collecting the more carrots boosts your score." Velvet turned her pouty, embarrassed face up to Pyrrha and huffed.

"So, it's a fun game, I bet I could beat you going head to head." The Faunus claimed. Pyrrha being Pyrrha, accepted the challenge, something she could beat Velvet at since she couldn't yet beat her in a sparring match.

The two kicked off from the opposing sides of the screen and fought to collect the most carrots while trying to avoid bombs that dropped and the other player pushing them from the platforms or into a trap. Each had three lives and Velvet was the first to lose one of hers which gave Pyrrha a bit too much confidence.

The next three however all came from Pyrrha before a large player two loses sign appeared on the screen. Pyrrha blushed and looked to Velvet who was giggling and gently tapping her feet on the ground. Her competitive nature took a back seat as she found herself enjoying seeing Velvet so happy. She really is amazing. I'll have to watch myself when we start sparring.

"Play again? Unless you're chicken." There was a cheeky smirk on Velvet's face, one that had Pyrrha wanting to wipe it off.

"You're on bunny. Shall we make a bet?" Realising what she said she blushed, she'd been beaten three lives in a row in their first game, Velvet clearly had the advantage of skill in the game.

"Sure, what are we betting?" Her rabbit ears stood at attention, ready to hear what the winner would receive. Pyrrha had to think about it, something worthwhile. Loser shouts the winner lunch? Has to do something embarrassing or reveal something the haven't told anyone else? There was one thing that she wanted but refused to have that as the condition. She took so long that Velvet ended up making the reward.

"Winner gets to have the loser do one action of their choosing. Nothing too embarrassing for either of us though, deal?" Pyrrha nodded and the game began. From behind their joint laughter and banter, Pyrrha's team smiled. Yang shared their smile for the most part, but there was more to hers, something wrong, jealousy. Not for her being attracted to either of them, but that they had found someone else to spend their time with in that way. Even if they hadn't realised it yet like their friends had.

Yang

The rabbit ended up winning the majority of their games, letting Pyrrha get a couple wins by going easy on her, not that Pyrrha could tell. Velvet claimed her avatar wasn't moving when she directed it to or that the controls had changed, Pyrrha fell for it every time, believing in Velvet's false excuses. Nora found it adorable, Yang found it hilarious.

They then shared lunch at one of the many cafes their teams frequented while attending Beacon, the waitress knowing each of them by name and finding a couple of injuries, the noticeable ones to be terrible. Yang smiled softly while Jaune blushed and looking away. What the real kicked was is that as they were leaving Jaune started blushing, it took Nora to get it from him.

Turned out that the waitress had slipped Jaune her number while he paid the bill. It was very kind of him, but then Nora wouldn't stop telling him that he had to call her, or at least message her.

"I told you chicks dig scars." Nora gloated. "Yang did too, you have to call her."

"I don't know. I mean, I'm still not very confident with it." Jaune replied somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh come on. Jaune, a hot girl in a skirt just gave you her number. Any other male would…." Ren grabbed Nora from behind, one hand over her mouth the other on her belly tickling the ginger. At this point Jaune was just red faced while Pyrrha and Velvet were blushing like fools.

"I'm with Nora. You should give her a call, or at least let her know you're interested… unless you're not. Either way, you'll catch plenty more fish with that scar." Yang teased, knowing that she of all people could get away with it.

"Maybe, but I'm sure you're still beating back boys with… well your fist. I doubt you'd need a stick to kick ass." Jaune smiled at her and Yang half smiled, he'd chosen his words carefully, but not quite carefully enough.

"Well you know, haven't had the chance since I've been holed up at home since the fall. I mean, it's not like the town on Patch is comparable with Vale." Truth was that Yang had lost a lot of self confidence in her looks with the loss of her arm.

"That's it! Yang, you're still good for going out tonight right?" Nora asked, breaking free of Ren's grip.

"Yeah sure, I brought some town clothes, so it'd be a was not to use them, I'll need a hand though." She smiled widely while everyone thought about it for a second. Nora burst into laughter while Ren smiled, shaking his head.

"Well then, why don't we go with them Ren, try to get us a fish as Yang called them." He felt like maybe a bit of drinking might help his confidence or at least make him deal with the fact that there would be several people looking at his face, her scar. Little did Jaune know that he wouldn't make it into town with his friends that night.

"Its settled then. We'll hang out for a bit and grab some drinks for the hotel room. Then hit the down and dance up a storm!" Nora broke into a little shuffle to demonstrate her meaning. Velvet giggled earning a smile from Pyrrha. I don't know if I'll be very impressive flailing a stump around though. Yang thought as they neared their next stop.

A sports or exercise store, the largest one in Vale and often where all the huntsmen and huntresses went for their more basic attire. Everyone got something during their shopping stop. Jaune and Ren both got themselves some new training wear. Torso skins and new shoes. Yang, Nora, and Pyrrha got themselves a variety of shoes, socks, skins, shorts, singlets and sweat bands. The only thing Velvet ended up getting was a long pair of leg skins from waist to ankle, she wasn't one for showing off too much skin.

After that it was the more important stop, a stop that had Nora glaring at the boys. "Come on Jaune, we'll meet the girls at the hotel. I'll book the pool for an hour from now, there's your time limit." Once the boys were out of sight Nora turned with a white grin and pushed Yang inside.

Of course it was a lingerie shop, something that Yang had feared was on the list of things Nora had wanted to do. I can't wear this… nothing will look good. Fear was replacing her joyful mood, something that none of the girls noticed and wouldn't notice thanks to Pyrrha's frantic headshaking.

"You're joking…. Right Nora. You're not going to make me try on any of this?" Pyrrha looked like a ghost, that's when Yang remembered that she'd had chest surgery and was likely panicking like her only much more openly. That scar must be a doozy.

She walked up to a frilly black set, the bottoms having enough to cover her front, but her ass cheeks would be on display. Her heart pounded as she made her way to the changing room with the girls in tow, she didn't know how she was forcing herself to do it, but if she could with her stump, then surely Pyrrha could muster the confidence to try at least a pair on too.

It was only once she was behind the locked door that she ran into an issue. Fuck! I can't put the bra on. Panicking once more she was about to give in, to let her disability beat her down. She'd allow herself to be a victim or…. "Nora… could you come in here please. I can't get the top clipped."

She heard zero giggling from outside the changing stall and unlocked the door. Nora slipped in while Yang kept herself from the sight of Velvet and Pyrrha. Nora was good about it, she kept nice and quiet and had the clasp done up in a few seconds.

"Thanks Nora… This sort of thing is ahh!" She gasped feeling a firm smack on her right butt cheek.

"Get out there hot stuff. You'll make those lesbos wet." Nora whispered causing Yang to go beet red. But I thought they weren't dating?... Wet! Her thoughts didn't get any further as Nora pushed her from the protection of her stall.

The eyes she got from her friends were terribly obvious. Her nipples were barely covered allowing a large amount of her pale breasts to be exposed. The panties with their frills tickled slightly as she turned around, allowing them a view of her still firm but plentiful ass. She heard a gasp and as she finished her rotation she found Velvet with her hands over her mouth.

Pyrrha's eyes were locked onto her privates, her thinly covered womanhood. Then her bountiful chest which was only slightly larger than Pyrrha's own bust. Here emerald eyes went to the stubby remains of Yang's right arm which is when her courage was truly teased. Her heart rate elevated but she remained there as Velvet whispered something to Nora. Yang approached Pyrrha.

"What do you say we get you a sexy pair? There's only four people who get to see you in it, see your scar, and you're one of those four. And only one that really matters right?" Yang's eyes shifted to Velvet who quickly turned away. She and Nora shared a knowing look.

"What do you mean? There's no I'd show…" Yang stomped on Pyrrha's toes getting a loud yelp from the champion of Mistral.

"I did this to boost your confidence Pyrrha. You and Velvet are so obviously into each other that its painful. Just kiss her and get it over with. But before then, lets get you a nice pair of green lingerie to go with those eyes of yours." Yang had expected some blushing and got it, but also some fight and denial. But all she got was a silent nod. Yang was quick to change not requiring a hand with her bra this time.

Yang quickly found out that Pyrrha was one hard woman to go lingerie shopping with. Each of her ideas for what to try on was met with hesitation and denial that she'd look good. They even tried different colours and more preserved pairs before Yang spotted the perfect one. She grabbed it and pushed it into Pyrrha's arms with a stern look in her eyes. This girl was trying these on and that was the end of it.

Pyrrha relented, but not without Yang shoving her into the stall, she was still plenty strong enough to get her point across. Only when the sound of the lock was heard did she relax and take a seat. Damn stubborn girl. She's worse than me and she's hot as hell. At least she only has a scar not a missing limb. Yang sighed as she realised she was being cruel, they both had to deal with their own injuries and each was afraid of different things.

I'll be supportive, if she doesn't want to show me then I won't make her. And she was going to stick by it too as minute after minute ticked by with noise coming from the stall, only not words, just grunts, hums, and deep sighs. Yang figured Pyrrha was going to give up but was proven wrong.

"I'm ready… I think. No one is out there right? Just you?" Yang chuckled softly and stood in front of the door that led into the multi stall changing room.

"Safe now Pyrrha. Now get your booty out here." She demanded, wanting to see if she'd chosen good or bad. But what she saw emerging from the stall took her breath away. Emerald bra and panties that were laced, the panties giving Yang a view of Pyrrha's landing strip which was bald. You naughty little… Note to self, shave.

Then there were the fingerless gloves that doubled as sleeves that reached just past her elbow before being bound by emerald elastic to hold it there. Her legs were the same with seamed stockings that ran up to her mid thighs and connected by four strips of fabric to the garter belt.

Yang raised a finger and pointed to the ceiling while making a circular motion. Pyrrha got the message and spun slowly. Yang gawked as she saw the champions ass. It was firm like her own, no even more so since she'd been working out more recently and more often. The glove sleeves and the stockings were stretched to fit her muscular form and her breasts threatened to burst from the tightly stretched bra. Just how she needs to be. That rabbit is going to drool.

"Yang? Is everything ok… you've gone quiet." Pyrrha was obviously nervous and in need of encouragement. Encouragement of which yang was more than ready to give.

"Pyrrha. If you ever get to the point in a relationship, or with Velvet where you show her this. She's gonna want to do you right then and there. So make sure you show her in private." While Yang beamed the champion only became more flustered.

"So... Should I ge…"

"Don't ask stupid questions! Get dressed and buy that freaking sexy lingerie and the rabbit will do anything you ask to see you in it." Pyrrha was quick to obey and returned to the stall leaving Yang alone with her thoughts once more. She went to the seat and relaxed. If only I had someone to show off what's left of myself to. Not that anyone would touch me now that I'm ugly, maimed and useless at almost everything.

Yang decided to buy herself something anyway just in case in the off chance that she got lucky on her night on the town with Nora she'd have something sexy for whoever the lucky guy or girl was. Nora too had a bag at her side, a sly smirk on her face as all four returned to the hotel Yang was to be staying at.

It wasn't until they were in the room that she realised Velvet had something too. Damn, where did she hide that? She looked over the Faunus girl curiously before they all took turns getting changed into their swimwear before going down and meeting Jaune and Ren at the pool.

Nora wore a tight fit pink two-piece bikini. Pyrrha a one piece that was the colour of her hair. Velvet a one piece too, brown matching her hair and eyes. Yang however went with a daring green that wasn't really her colour at all. But among friends she was sure it would be fine, that and she was more worried about her stump being exposed to them all almost properly for the first time. Well… let's hope I can still enjoy a decent swim.
