Chapter three: A dragon to help another.
It was 6:30 when Jaune woke up, he went to sleep as soon as he entered the room in order not to use his alarm clock and wake up any of his teammates because if they discovered that he was going to spar with Yang they would want to go too and he wasn't ready for that yet.
Once ready, he left the room with his uniform on, he had left his armor and weapons in his locker at the showers so he would have to go for them before going to the training halls.
'I should go for Yang first, we are supposed to train together today after all' he thought as he walked towards RWBY's dorm room.
He knocked on the door several times but nobody answered.
'Maybe they are still asleep? I'll come back again later, I need to go get my gear after all...' a sudden growl coming from his stomach interrupted his thoughts '…and some breakfast.'
As he walked trhough the corridors he heard some footsteps and a couple of girls talking close to him, their voices were pretty familiar to him and once he could finally see the girls he confirmed that it was team RWBY coming from the training halls.
"Hey girls! Good morning" he said as he waved a hand to them.
"Hey Jaune! Good morning!" Ruby said as she looked really happy to see her first friend at beacon.
"Morning, Vomit boy!" Yang said with a huge smile and waving a hand to him.
"Good morning, Jaune" Blake said with a small smile on her face.
"Good Morning, Arc" Weiss emotionlessly replied.
"What were you doing? Special training or something like that?" The blonde asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Yup, Ruby wanted us to train together in order to improve our teamwork… that's why we woke up earlier today." Yang said while yawning. Now that Jaune was close enough to have a better look at the girls, they all looked very tired except for Ruby, who was still smiling.
"I see, what are you going to do now? We were going to spar today" he asked her fellow blonde.
"Aww you rememberd it! I thought I'd have to make you remember…" Yang said with a scary but still adorable grin, which made Jaune glup.
"We are heading to the cafeteria to eat something. After that I am all yours, lady killer" Yang said with a small wink to the blonde.
"I am going for some breakfast too, so we can eat together and go to spar afterwards." Jaune proposed his fellow blonde.
"Sounds great, lets go!" Yang said, and as they walked to the cafeteria she locked arms with the blonde which made him cringe a little bit while blushing.
Once at the Cafeteria, the girls were waiting for Jaune to come with the food. None of them knew what to expect since it was the first time they would see Jaune cooking. Suddenly a delicious smell covered the room, coming from the kitchen.
Jaune served several plates full of delicious looking food, there were fried and soft scrambled eggs, crispy bacon slices, toast, sausages, pancakes and jar of orange juice with five glasses.
"Since I don't know your preferences I made all this, hope you enjoy it" He said as he placed a pile of plates on the table and handing one to each member of team RWBY, once he sat on his usual place in front of the girls they started eating the small buffet the blonde had prepared for them.
Some minutes later all the food had disappeared, just leaving small traces on the dishes on the table.
"Wow Jaune, that was so delicious! The best breakfast I've had in years, where did you learn to cook this well?" Ruby said with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Thanks Ruby, my mum teached me since she thought it would be helpful that I knew how to cook by myself, but I don't think it was that good." Jaune said, while smiling and rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, then your mum did an awesome job!" Ruby cheerfully said.
"Ruby is right, it was delicious, thanks for the meal Jaune" Blake said with a small smile.
"It was… nice" Weiss said still surprised for the fact that the dork would be such a talented cook.
"Thanks Blake, Weiss, it's a pleasure for me to cook for my friends." Jaune said with a shy smile, it was the first time someone but his family or his team tasted his cook, and the fact that they liked it meant a lot to him.
"So are you saying that you would cook for us again if we ask you to?" Yang said while staring directly at the blonde's eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Yeah… just ask and if I can I'll do it" Jaune said while looking a bit confused for his fellow blonde's behaviour.
Yang sighed in relief "Thank goodness… Now that I tasted your cook, I don't think I would be able to live without it." She said with a huge smile on her face.
They all laughed at Yang's statement, she looked so childish.
"Anyway, thank you girls, glad you enjoyed the food, but I must train today, I need to control my semblance as soon as posible and I still need to get my armor so… See you at the training halls?" Jaune finished his sentence looking at Yang, waiting for her confirmation.
"Okay, see you there lady killer" she finished giving a wink to the blonde.
Jaune left the room and walked towards the boy's showers. Once there he put on his armor and took Crocea Mors from his locker. He then left the room ready for his training session with the blonde brawler.
He spot Yang waiting for him at the entrance of the training halls. They greet each other and entered the corridor with all the rooms.
"Which one we'll take Jauney?" Yang said looking at him.
"Director Ozpin gave me a keycard to use the private rooms, I used that one yesterday when I began this special training." He said while pointing a finger to the room at the very end of the corridor.
A mischevious smile formed on Yang's face "The most separated one huh? You don't have any other hidden intentions, right? Noone would be able to hear anything if things go… wild in there" She said as she locked arms with Jaune.
Jaune turned as red as a tomato with the girls suggestive ideas, as he shivered a little bit when she locked arms with him, he was to embarrased to even answer back.
"Relax Jauney boy! I know you wouldn't do that" she said as she laughed and hit his back a couple of times.
As they reached the door, he opened it with the keycard and they got in, looking the door in order not to get any interruptions.
They were at the center of the arena, stretching before the spar began.
"Okay Yang, do you have any ideas about helping me to control my semblance?" Jaune said as he finished stretching.
"I was remembering our fight while I was waiting for you, I'm not sure but I've got a theory about how to help you awaken it again." She said with a playful smile while looking at him.
"How?" he said while leaning a bit to the side.
"We'll have to fight first, there's something I need to confirm before going on and this is the only way to do it." She said while entering her battle stance.
"Okay, I'm still a bit confused but I can give it a shot" He said while also entereing in his stance.
"This time we'll do it with our weapons" She said as she readied her gauntlets.
"Okay, as you wish" Jaune said while plaicing his left hand on his sword's handle.
They fought several minutes, they both were exhausted from the intense fighting with no clear winner until Yang launched herself towards Jaune, As he prepared to intercept her with a horizontal slash, her eyes turned red as her hair lit aflame as she shot to the ground, fliping above him and landing right behind him, punching him right in the face when he tried to turn around.
The strength of the hit launched him some meters away as he crushed to one of the room's walls, second later his body hit the floor, she couldn't see his face as he tried to stand up.
"Oh Jaune, I'm so sorry I got a bit carried away by the fight and I…" She stopped her attempt of apologyzing to the blonde when she saw blue fire starting to form around him as he stood up, and when he finally looked at her she could see those azure glowing eyes with cat like pupils he had when he last fought her.
"That's it! Now I know what to do." She said in happiness as she took a picture of the blonde with her scroll, to show him in case his semblance goes off as it did when they fought.
The blonde didn't answer to her, he was just standing still while directly stareing at her eyes.
"…Jaune? Are you alright?... Jaune!" She asked the blonde almost yelling at him, confused by his weird behaviour. He looked like a predator waiting for the right moment to attack his prey.
"Huh? Yang? What happened?" He finally seemed to come back from his trance.
"I hit you a bit to hard and you crushed to that wall" She said while pointing a finger to the wall which he had crushed.
"Yeah… I remember that… damn it hurts! You hit like a truck." He said while rubing his back with one of his hands.
"What happened later, I don't remember anything else after that." He said while looking genuenly confused.
"Well, you kind of spaced out for some seconds, but if you have a closer look at yourself you'll see that your semblance is on." She said while handing him her scroll In camera mode, as he saw his eyes he could tell that the girl was right.
"This is awesome! But… How?" He said while directing his stare to the blonde brawler, she said she had an idea an it worked, but how did she know?.
"While I was remembering our fight and the way you awoke your semblance in it, I thought that maybe it was because of the damage I was dealing to you, that made me think that your semblance and mine work in similar ways." She explained with a prideful expression on her face.
"Oh, now that I think about it… maybe you're right… but that means I can only get to use it if I receive enough damage?" He said while placing a thumb and index finger on his chin.
"Nope, now that I confirmed that our semblance work in similar ways I can teach you to awaken it whenever you want… " She said as her eyes chaged from lilac to crimsom red and her hair lit aflame "…like this."
"That's awesome! Please teach me how to do it" Jaune enthusiastically said, having the answers literaly in front of him was very exciting.
"If you insist… but you'll cook dinner for me tonight, deal?" She said with a huge smile.
"Deal!" he replied without a second thought.
"Alright, first focus on how you feel right now, can you describe it?" She asked the blonde.
"Well, I fell stronger, lighter and faster… I fell unstoppable, like I could take on an entire army of grimm all by myself…" The blonde explained as she payed attention to his words.
"Completely understand you, I feel the same way when I use my semblance… Alright! Now that you have the idea of how it feels, we can go to step two" She said while making a sign of two with her fingers.
"And that is?" Jaune asked his fellow blonde.
"Try to deactivate your semblance" She said while looking at him.
"I think I know how to do that, my semblance vanished when Mrs. Goodwich interrupted our fight. Maybe I just need to relax and it will go off" He said as he tried to regulate his breath and relax his muscles, a couple of seconds later the glow in his eyes dissapeared as his pupils turned back to normal.
"Awesome Jaune, you did step two just by yourself! You are a fast learner, but it's time for the last and hardest of all steps" She said as she also came back to normal.
"Let me guess… activate it by myself?" Jaune said while raising an eyebrow.
"Yup, but it won't be that easy, look you need to relax, close your eyes and focus on how you feel when your semblance is active." As Yang explained, Jaune tried to do what she was telling him, but no success.
"It's not working!" Jaune said with his eyes closed, an annoyed expression starting to take place on his face.
"You're trying to hard… just relax and focus, it's not meant to be easy but I know you can do it." Yang tried to encourage the flustered blonde.
He nodded and closed his eyes, as he relaxed and began to focus again, in a couple of seconds later small traces of blue fire started to form in the ground around him. Yang's eyes were wide opened, even though she said he was a fast learner, she expected a couple more tries before the fire would start to appear, but it vanished again as the blonde seemed to have problems to focus.
"Oh come on!" Jaune yelled in annoyance, why was it so hard for him to focus? He never had problems at concentrating before.
"This time was better, but you seem to have issues to keep relaxed. What's the matter Jaune?"
"This time when I focused I could reach the feeling but it was different, I felt like there were too many feelings for me to handle, all my senses felt overwhelmed, and that broke my concentration." Jaune explained while looking at the ground.
"I see…" Yang said while placing a thumb and an index finger on her chin, silence filled the room until Yang got an idea.
"I know what to do!" She said while looking at her fellow blonde with a playful smile.
"What do you have in mind?" Jaune said while raising an eyebrow, that smile on her face made it clear she was going to do something embarrasing… for him.
"Close your eyes and relax" She said as she walked towards him.
"It didn't work last time… wait, are you going to punch me again? That worked but I'd rather not have to get punched everytime I want to use my sembl…" Jaune nervously said, his left cheek was still sore for the punch of the brawler.
"Close your eyes or I will punch you harder this time" Yang said with a serious expression.
"Yes Ma'am!" Jaune said as he closed his eyes and tried to control his breath.
"Good boy" She said as she placed a hand at the center of his chest and closed the distance between them, the feeling of her body pressed against his made him shiver in response.
"Yang… what are you doing?" Jaune said with a dark red blush on his face and his eyes still closed, he was afraid of what the brawler would do if he opened his eyes now.
"Just relax and focus, I will tell you how I feel when I use my semblance, it may help you reach the feeling to awaken yours more easily…" Yang said in a serious tone, her cheeks were slightly pink, she was so close to the blonde that despite the fact that he was wearing his armor, she could feel his strong muscles, but she needed to calm down, her heart was racing so fast that she was almost sure Jaune could feel her heartbeat 'No, no, relax Yang Xiao Long, a friend needs your help here' she said as she started to calm down, thank god Jaune didn't open his eyes.
Once both of them got used to the closeness, Yang decided it was time to go on.
"Okay, you ready vomit boy?" Yang asked the blonde.
"Ready" He answered trying to keep calm and relaxed, it was very hard for him but he knew Yang was doing it to help him, and he wouldn't let her efforts be in vain.
Hearing his response, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath as well "Right, now take a deep breath and focus on the spot where my hand is placed" As Yang explained she heard the blonde inhaliting and slowly exhalating "Great, now imagine… fire forming in that spot and flowing trhough your hole body… but it doesn't hurt…it actually feels energizing" As she explained her hair started to glow and blue sparks began to form around them. "…then you start to feel strong, like… like really strong… and everytime you breathe that fire within you gets stronger… you feel it?" She asked the blonde.
"Yes…" it was all he could answer, he was so inmersed in her words, that he could actually feel everything she was telling him.
"… you feel totally free… with all that strength you want to run, you want to jump, you want to break shit! Just… you feel like you can do anything…" Her hair was now completely aflame and the blue sparks around them became azure fire, the flames seemed to grow with every word she said "… and you want to scream, as loud as you can… not because you're angry but… because you just want to let it all out..." As Yang explained Jaune began to hear those roars he heard when he first unlocked his powers, but this time they felt different… they felt stronger.
"… so do it!" As she finished she heard a piercing roar in front of her, which instantly made her squirm and open her eyes, just to see Jaune's azure glowing cat like eyes staring at her, a genuine look of precupation on them.
"Are you okay, Yang?" he said while trying to figure out what caused the brawler's reaction.
"Uh… yes… I'm okay" She managed to answer 'Maybe it was just my imagination' she thought as she looked at the blonde again, he was looking at his hands, owing to her being discracted by her thoughts it took her a couple of seconds to finally notice that he had activated his semblance.
"Hey Jaune" She said to call the blonde's attention.
"Yes?" he answered while turning towards her with a huge smile.
"Congratulations, you did it! Now, every time you want to use your semblance think of what I told you, okay?" She said with a prideful smile on her face, the idea of being right and helping a friend made her really happy.
"Lets see…" He said as the flames banished and his eyes came back to normal "… and now" He closed his eyes, blue sparks began to form around him and became blazing azure fire when he opened his eyes, glowing blue orbs with cat like pupils.
"Yes! I did it! Thank you so much Yang, you're the best!" He happily said, he was thankful for all the help she gave him. In fact, she was more assertive than she looked like.
"Yeah, I know, but remember... that you owe me a dinner tonight" She said while pointing a finger to him, with a huge smile on her face.
"It will be the best dinner you ever had!" He enthusiastically said, that was his opportunity to thank Yang for her help, he will put all his skill on that dinner.
"I hope nothing less from you, Jauney boy" She said while crossing her arms with a challenging smile.
"So… cafeteria at 10?" Jaune asked the brawler with the same challenging smile she had.
"It's a date!" She said with a wink which caused her fellow blonde to blush.
"Uh…ah… g-great! So see you at 10 then" He managed to answer in his embarrasement, the word "date" was something he was never expecting the brawler to tell him.
Yang giggled at Jaune's reaction, he was so naive that it was very easy to tease him and his reactions were so adorable.
"Well, I think it has been enough training for now, we have an hour left before today's lessons and I really need a shower." The blonde brawler said as she walked towards the exit alongside Jaune.
"Yeah, me too, I think I'll go to the public showers again" Yang opened her eyes wide at Jaune's statement, the picture of him in the showers runned trhough her mind, making her blush and look away.
"Yeah… well, see you later vomit boy!" She said as she took a different way to her teams dorm, trying to calm down as she walked trhough the corridor.
…
During launch break Jaune decided to go ask Ruby about the brawlers like's in food, since he really wanted to thank her by giving her the best dinner he could.
"Hey Rubes! Can we talk in private?" Jaune said while aproaching the reaper with a smile, he wanted to ask her in a not so crowded place since he didn't wanted to instigate rumors.
"Sure Jaune" She replied as she walked with him to the corridor which was almost empty and the students who were there were to far to listen.
"What do you want to talk about?" She asked him, he looked a bit nervous.
Jaune let out a small sigh "Y-you see, you said you owe me a favor and I'm going to cook dinner for Yang today as thanks for her help with my training, so I would like to know what is her favourite food" Jaune nervously said.
"I see… well, guess a favor is a favor and since you lent me that awesome book, I'll send you the recipe of her favourite dish to your scroll, but just so you know… this dish is very important to her, so do it well or don't do it" Ruby said in a serious tone, which surprised Jaune a bit.
"Thanks Rubes, I'll do my best" Jaune said with a smile on his face.
"I know, good luck Jaune" Ruby said while smiling and waving her hand at him as she walked trhough the corridor.
…
The rest of the day passed as usual, Jaune made a fast trip to Vale in order to get all the things he needed for his dinner with the brawler, he had no motion sickness issues thanks to a pill the pilot gave him.
'Alright, I guess I'm ready' Jaune thought as a small grin took place on his face as he headed towards the cafeteria.
Two hours later…
Yang was leaving her team's dorm 10 minutes before the "date", she was wearing her uniform without the jacket, as she went trhough the corridors she saw the looks of many students, both boys and girls peeking at her when she passed by them, which placed a prideful smile on her face. Once she got to the cafeteria, as she entered the room she spot her fellow blonde sitting on their usual table decorated with a white tablecloth, two white plates placed in front of each other with a covered metallic serving tray in between them, he turned to see who opened the door, he gluped when he spot Yang coming in and gave her a shy smile.
"H-hello Yang… good evening" He managed to say, his voice cracked a bit while looking at her with a huge blush, he was definitely nervous.
"Didn't know you were the romantic type, lady killer" Yang said with a small smile. As she walked towards the blonde to have a closer look at him. He was wearing his uniform without his jacket and the sleeves of his shirt were pulled up to his elbows, exposing his strong forearms.
His blush redened as he tried to answer "T-this is what my family thought me to do in this... situations, I'm sorry if I'm being a bit awkward it's just… it's my first time doing this with a girl that's not one of my sisters and…" He tried to go on when a sudden laugh coming from the brawler, interrupted his explanation as he looked at her.
"Oh Jaune, you really thought I was serious about this being a date?" She said as she wiped the tears from her laughter with her fingers.
"Wait, so this is not a date?" Jaune looked at her while raising an eyebrow.
"I thought you realized I was just teasing you, as you usually do…" She looked at the blonde's face and saw a bit of dissapointment in his face, it took her a few seconds to realize what was happening, '"it's my first time doing this"' he had never dated someone before, his failed attempts with Weiss and all the things she told him the last time he tried to hit on her may have droped his confiedence to the point he felt unable to try anymore, and her sudden proposal of a date, might have caught him off guard.
And there he was, looking like a puppy left alone in the middle of the rain, Yang felt guilty for playing with the poor blonde's feelings, even if it was unknowinglly 'I can stil fix this… I have to' she made up her mind as she approached her fellow blonde and planted a small kiss on his cheek.
He jumped on his sit in surprise for the unexpected feeling of the brawlers lips against his skin.
"Yang… w-w-what are you doing?" He said while looking at the blonde with a crimsom blush on his cheeks, while placing a hand on the spot her lips were moments ago.
"Consider this a reward for all your effort, I'm sorry for confusing you, you're a nice guy Jaune, you don't deserve that…" she said with a small smile, her cheeks turned slightly pink as she sat down in front of the confused blonde knight
"…now let's eat, I'm starving" As she said a small smile took place on Jaune's face as he nooded and lifted the cover of the serving tray, a tasty looking steak with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, was hiding underneath the metalic cover.
Yang's eyes widened at the sight of her favourite dish, Ruby's mum, Summer used to cook it in special ocassions, and the fact that this one looked and smelt just like the one she used to make brought her some of the happiest memories of her childhood.
"How did you know?" Yang asked her fellow blonde as she looked at him.
"I wanted to make you the best dinner I could, so I asked Ruby and she gave me the recipe… she told me this food meant a lot to you… I don't think it will be as good as the original but I hope you like it" Jaune shily explained with a small blush on his face while he placed a served plate in front of Yang.
A huge smile and a slight blush took place on Yang's face "Thanks Jaune… I really like it" She said as she began eating the delicious dinner her fellow blonde has made for her, it tasted just like she remembers it.
20 minutes later…
The two blondes have just finished eating, there was no trace left of the food on their plates or the serving tray.
"That was delicious Jaune, I never thought I would be able to taste that dish again, it brings me a lot of precious memories, thank you again" Yang said with a slight blush and a geniune smile.
"Hehe no problem Yang, that was my thanks for helping me with my semblance" Jaune said while smiling and rubbing the back of his head with his right hand.
When suddenly a thought crossed his mind, a doubt that has been rising in him since their training sesion in the morning "Yang… can I ask you a question?" Jaune's tone turned serious which confused Yang a little bit.
"You want to know my three sizes?" She answered with a small grin.
"W-what?! N-no… I mean that's not what I wanted to ask you" Jaune replied with a huge blush.
Yang let out a giggle at her fellow blonde's reaction "Geez Jaune, relax a bit. Sure, you can ask me whatever you want" She said signaling the boy to go on with his question.
"…Where did you learn to control your semblance? Those words you said at the training hall…" Jaune asked the blonde for a response.
"Well, I awoke my semblance while training with my dad, I think I was 10 when it happened and I had a lot of trouble to learn to control it… but with the help of my dad and my uncle I could finally control it, then with patience and training I learnt to control it as I do now… although there are sometimes when I get really angry or receive enough damage that it comes out by itself" As Yang she finished her explanation she saw a serious look in Jaune's face "Is it enough for you?" Yang said while raising an eyebrow.
" Yeah, thank you" Jaune said with a smile.
"Well vomit boy, now it is my turn to ask you something" She said with a mischevious grin which made Jaune glup.
"Okay, I guess that's fair, ask me whatever you want" Jaune answered as he put water in the glass beside him and began drinking it.
"Alright Jauney, tell me… why don't you have a girlfriend?" Yang's sudden question made Jaune almost choke on the water he was drinking, he caughed a few times before he could reply to her.
"What's the point of that question?" he embarrasingly replied.
"I'm just curious, you tried so hard with Weiss and after your little chat with her you didn't even try to hit on another girl, even though you had cereal girl in your team and all" Yang explained with a huge grin on his face.
Jaune sighed and answered her question "Alright, in my hometown I didn't have any friends, even before I began my training at the age of 6. When I came here I wanted to be cool and popular, that's why I acted the way I did during the first weeks, I tried to hit on Weiss and that didn't end up pretty well as you know, but that chat with her made me realize that I had confused being cool and confident with being arrogant and annoying, so I decided to just be myself, and thanks to that and the fact that I've got some awesome friends who accept my for who I am I got to beat that social awkwardness I had… or most of it at least." As Jaune finished his explanation he took a sip of water before going on.
"And about Pyrrha, we realized that our feelings for each other were more like a sibling's love. we understand each other because we both know how it feels to be placed on a pedestal where noone even tries to reach you. I love her, but just as one more of my sisters… but to finally answer your question I don't have a girlfriend because it's not a priority to me at the moment, I just want to enjoy my time with my friends and get stronger." Jaune finished his explanation with a small smile on his face.
"Well said Vomit boy! But… if you find a girl you like?" Yang asked with a small smile.
"Well, if that happens I'd try to hit on her better than I did with Weiss, I learn from my mystakes" Jaune said while looking away with a slight blush as he remembered all the embarrasing things he did.
"Are you sure? Because I think she would love the serenades you did" Yang said as she bursted into laughter at the sight of Jaune's face red as a tomato.
…
20 minutes later they had already cleaned up all the things they used for dinner and were walking through the corridors towards their team's dorm rooms.
"So Jaune how about tomorrow after class we go to the library and finish that research for Port's class? So we don't have to worry about it anymore" Yang said looking at him.
"I think that's a great idea, I would like to train the hole weekend to see what else I can do with my semblance and having no homework left would make it way easier" Jaune eagerly answered, he wanted to see what else his draconic powers could do.
Once they finally reached their rooms, Yang saw Jaune about to open his team's door.
"Hey Jaune!" Her calling caught his attention, separating his hand from the door knob.
"What happens Yang?" He said while raising an eyebrow, she walked towards him.
"I just wanted to thank you again… for that dinner, you're a really nice guy and whoever gets to be your girlfriend will be very lucky" She said with a small smile.
Jaune's mouth was opened in surprise before a smile took place on his face "Thanks Yang, you're an awesome girl, I mean popular, gorgeous party girls normally tend to ignore me, but you bothered to know me, even if I still am a bit awkward, you put your friend before anything else and that's one of the things I admire from you" Jaune said with his cheeks slightly pink.
"Nice try lady killer, but you'll need more than a few compliments to make me fall for you" Yang said while placing her hand on her hips.
They both laughed and said goodnight to each other before entering their respective rooms.
As Yang entered her team's room she saw almost everyone already sleeping on their respective bunk beds aside from her baby sister Ruby, who was sitting on her bed while reading the book Jaune lent her.
"Hey Rubes why aren't you asleep already?" Yang said in a low motherly tone.
"I couldn't sleep so i decided to go for a brief read of this book, and it's fascinating! It has so much details about dragons, some stories about them and it even has a descrption of different kinds of dragons and pictures of them!" Ruby said in an enthusiastic tone, which caused Yang place a finger on her lips and point a finger to their sleeping teammates on the other side of the room.
"Sorry" Ruby said in a low tone, almost whispering " But just have a look at these pictures, they are so cool" Ruby said while pasding the pages and showing the illustrations to Yang.
Yang looked at them with a small smile, it was always nice to see her little sister happy and in fact the pictures were very well made, until Ruby turned one of the pages and she saw a white scaled dragon with blue glowing eyes, her face suddenly turned serious, those eyes and that predatory look… 'The same look he had in the morning' she thought as the memory of what happened in the morning rushed trhough her head.
"Sis? Are you okay?" Ruby said a bit worried for the sudden change on her older sister's face.
"Yeah, I'm okay… what's that Rubes?" Yang said while pointing a finger to the creature's ilustration.
"Oh, this is the white dragon, it is said to be the most powerful of all dragons in this book, it's cool, but the red dragon is my favourite." Ruby explained while taking a look at the picture.
Yang remembered seeing that name in the title of the page Jaune was reading 'White dragon… that's what he was reading about in the library, but what does that mean?' Yang thought as she stared at the picture of the white beast.
"Sis? You're spacing out again" Ruby said, calling Yang's attention back to her.
"Uh? Sorry, I think I'm a bit distracted because I still have to do that research with Jaune" Yang said while trying to smile and rubbing the back of her head with her left hand.
"Yeah… you two have been getting pretty close to each other lately" Ruby said teasingly with a small grin on her face.
"Oh come on Rubes, we are just friends" Yang said while frowning and crossing her arms, she liked to tease, but not to be teased.
"I don't know Yang that friend cooked you dinner and he even asked me your favourite meal" Ruby replied in the same tone while looking at her with a small grin.
"We're good friends, that's all, now it's already too late for you to stay awake" Yang said in a motherly tone as she took the book from her sister's hands.
"Okay, whatever you say sis, just so you know… I approve it, he's a nice guy" Ruby said while giggling and getting comfortable in her bed before closing her eyes.
"Just sleep" Yang said as she gave a last look to her little sister before walking to the stair to climb to her bed on top of her sister's, when she realized she still had the book in her hands, she looked at it a few seconds.
'Maybe I can get some answers from here' She said as she climbed to her bed and sat on it, resting her back to the wall, she opened the book and began turning the pages when she suddenly saw the white scaled reptile with azure eyes.
She began reading the page, when she read something that caught her attention '"their distinctive blue fire"' she instantly remembered the blue flames that sorrownded Jaune when he used his semblance. 'But what kind of relationship would he have with these things?' she kept thinking as she went on reading the page, there was no more information to answer her questions.
Yang sighed in frustration 'What am I even doing, I'm just imaginating things' She thought as she looked at the picture of the white beast, she found herself lost on it's eyes 'They are just like his…' She thought as she went on looking at the creature's hypnotizing blue orbs, when suddenly she heard a roar in her head, the same roar she heard when Jaune awoke his semblance with her help.
She turned to the section of the book that had the generalized information about dragons, '" All dragons are no different from humans until they get to the age of seventeen, that's when their powers will progresively begin to awaken."' She thought that she was getting crazy for considering what she was considering, again, she turned to the page that contanied the picture of the dragon her fellow blonde was reading about.
She placed her scroll with the picture of Jaune's face with his semblance on aside of the picture of the white dragon 'That look, those eyes.' Her mouth began to open, but no words came out until she managed to finally say something.
"No… way" She said in a low tone.
