Chapter 4 – The Good, the Bad, and the Infuriating

Team HIJX went to their dorm. Jake threw himself onto his bed, Haley dressed into pajamas first, Xavier lay on his bed, reading a book, and Inari immediately fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. After lunch, Jake was being teased by Inari, while Yang was doing the same with Blake. It wasn't exactly a comfortable situation. Not to mention it was exhausting.

The next morning, was when teasing began all over again. The two Faunus ignored Yang and Inari during their Grimm Studies class with Professor Port, but Jake snapped at the two girls during combat class. Their teacher called on them. "Excuse me, you four, would you care to come down and settle things the old fashioned way?" The teacher asked.

"Would you allow a pair duel, Professor Rune?" Jake asked. Professor Rune allowed it and set up a match for Yang and Inari vs. Blake and Jake. "Begin the fight!"

Jake zipped around Yang with such speed that he appeared to be nothing more than a blur and struck her on the back of the head with the hilt of his weapon and continued to zip around, striking her over and over again.

Blake went after Inari and managed to disarm her, but was blocked from further assaults when she focused her aura to create a barrier with a small radius. While Jake was speeding around Yang, he tripped and fell past her, finding a few strands of her hair in his hand. When Yang realized what had happened, her eyes turned bright red with her anger and she swung her fist at Jake as hard as possible.

Jake couldn't get up and avoid her fist in time and took a powerful swing, knocking the wind out of him and even drawing blood. Then she blasted him into a wall with the help of her gauntlets. Jake couldn't move anymore. Yang's raw power was too much and he couldn't bear it to move an inch, let alone to stand up and continue fighting.

Blake managed to KO Inari. She turned to Yang and charged in.

"Oh, I wish they wouldn't fight," Ruby said, concerned with the effect the fight's outcome might have on the four warriors. "I have to admit, though, it is a good fight," Haley said, and Jaune agreed.

A while after Blake and Yang began fighting each other, class had ended and Professor Rune had to step in stop the two. Jake, still lying on the ground, blood running out the side of his mouth managed to put himself into a sitting position before he had to pause and wait for the pain to cease.

Blake and Inari helped him up and guided him to the Infirmary once again. Yang hung back with the others. Haley punched Yang in the shoulder for overreacting and seriously injuring her teammate. "You didn't have to do that, Yang!"

Xavier straightened his glasses and nodded in agreement with Haley. "It wasn't exactly required for you to beat him senseless. It would have been much better if you had at least held back a little on your punches."

Yang tried to argue that, "It was a fight and you don't win by pulling your punches." They all knew, though that even she began to feel bad. They left for their next class.

"We didn't have to fight you, you know," Inari said. "With you and Yang constantly teasing me and Blake, it would be stupid not to fight you. That's what I thought, at least." Blake remained quiet as they continued to the infirmary. They helped set him down onto the bed, and only then did Blake speak. "You know, it hasn't even been a week since you arrived and you're already getting yourself in trouble."

Jake smiled. "Yeah, I'm not exactly a model student, am I?" He looked at Blake and she looked back at him. (And I swear I could hear music in the air! w ) Then Inari went and said, in a mocking tone, "Aw, the love kitties are getting all wuvvey duvvey, awwww!"

Jake yelled as he bolted upright, "Get out of here already!" The sudden movement and yelling caused him to ache a great deal and he let himself fall back down on the infirmary bed. "Damn it, why did I do that?" He asked himself with a groan.

Inari exited the infirmary, leaving him and Blake alone. "Sorry, Blake; I'm really agitated right now." She just nodded and smiled at him. Then she leaned in and kissed him. It would have been a nice moment, had he not seen Inari peeking through the infirmary door with a camera in her hands and an evil smile on her face. He bolted up again. "I said get the hell out of he-" And he fell back down on the bed again.
