A/N: I'm here to tell you guys that I've changed my Pen Name. There's trouble with the search engine of authors with my name, trying to write Lucis Caelum didn't worked, it must have no space (Weird, right?) So, I've changed my Pen Name, one that no writer has taken yet. After 24 hours I'll try using the search engine with my new name, if it shows up properly then I'll stick to it.

Also, this chapter has already been done before New Year's eve, just forgot to update my fiction. Sorry...

It was finally the day of their sports festival, and things couldn't be more better for Jaune. Unless this Fire Princess of his would show up and reveal her secret identity. There was no doubt in him that he liked her, but the fear of her looks, her age, and so many more a re bugging him. One can easily say that he or she is as the same year as his. Wait, there wasn't even a hundred percent chance that she's a girl.

Everyone in school was watching them, it was the main event after all. A battle between seniors and juniors, the speed, strength, and teamwork would be tested by basketball. A game where two teams must outscore the other before the time ends. It wasn't only a battle of one player shooting the basket, no, it would require everyone's effort to successfully execute their plan of attack.

"Heads up, Jaune!" Mercury yelled, as the boy was looking over the crowds. Desperate to even have a clue of who this woman is. Needless to say, he did mention to her that he was going to play on the main event. "Come on.. We're two points behind." Sure, his game at the first to third quarter was magnificent. He was carrying the team all the way to a ten point lead. But their plan had changed since the defense on Jaune was overpowering him.

They were only seconds away, the team decided to let Jaune take the lead once more. They'll hold off any enemies that might approach him, and they would give everything for a chance of that basket. The crowd was yelling 'Defense' as almost everyone, save for every Juniors, were on the Senior's side. So, yeah... no pressure.

"Go, Jaune!" Yang screamed, her voice seems to be the entire Third Year's voice. She literally overpowered almost anyone near her with her screams.

"You can do it, Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled, of course she wasn't about to lose on cheering.

It was his first time being cheered, especially by girls. He wasn't the 'Popular' one back to his old school. He's the normal yet invisible type amongst those who're hungry to climb the food chain. He was like a butterfly, beautiful, quiet, forgotten. Only those people who recognized a butterfly can appreciate its beauty. So yeah... the pressure right now was building up more that it was moments ago.

Mercury assisted him with a screen, giving a slight second for Jaune to leave his defender and maybe get a shot.

The crowd went wild as soon as the score tied up. What's baffling is that this was one of the first and normal games that would be played. But this would be the only game between Seniors and Juniors, so everyone was hyped up at the games upcoming conclusion. The crowd was now fifty-fifty, half for the Third years and half for the Seniors.

Jaune tightened his defense, not allowing the ball handler to pass through him. So was the rest of his team, they weren't going to give someone an opening, heck, they wouldn't let them catch the ball without a fight should the handler pass it to them. The handler was now furious, it was their last possession, with only seconds on the clock, it was now or never.

"Booo!" the crowd yelled, as soon as the player got in the blindspot of the referee, he quickly elbowed Jaune in his face. The boy fell with a loud thud, and Mercury was only inches away before Ren stopped him from kicking the older student. The game was halted of course, they would decide or even get any video of the older student elbowing Jaune on his face. Though the broken nose can't be explained if not for the elbow.

"Take him to the infirmary!" Ozpin commanded to Jaune's friends. They followed, Ozpin didn't have to say it to them.

Everyone was on the infirmary, the boy wasn't knocked out, but it sure took time before he fully realized what happened. Mercury was ranting about how he'll pulverize the guy, despite the huge difference in their size. But that wasn't the problem, the problem is that who'll take care of Jaune. The game was left to the other students still capable of playing a fair game. The offender was taken out of the game as punishment, and Ozpin was going to have a good talk with him.

Others were kicked out of the game as well, even Mercury. Since the game took to a different level, all hot-heads were cleared out, most of them third years. But everyone understood, a game that represent the player's pride is special, championship or not.

"No... I'm sorry. Not right now." Yang apologized "I want to, but Ruby and I have somewhere to go and it's very important." she added.

The group was deciding who'll stay at Jaune's place until he gets better. Of course they would change every two days, and no one was available. Despite Jaune's 'No, I'm fine really' they didn't listen. They were still continuing to discuss who'll stay at his house. Mercury was free, but come on, would you really let Mercury take care of some injured person. Not a chance. He'd forget your medicine when he starts talking about women.

"Come on, Cinder, this would be a one time job. Just assist him, you don't have to do any chores or babysit him." Yang pleaded.

"G-guys, really, it's okay. I'm really okay." guess no one was listening to him.

"Fine." she said, her face wasn't regretting it or anything. Yes, like always she would be the Cinder everyone knew, one who rarely showed any signs of emotion.

"Y-Y-You don't have to do that, really..." the boy laughed nervously, he was watching some television when Cinder reappeared after a good five to ten minutes of disappearance at the kitchen. "I'm not sick or anything.." he added, scratching the back of his next.

He didn't get her at all. First she was all devoid of emotion, now she was still devoid of emotion but was doing some weird stuffs for him. She said no words, she forced him to stand up from the couch he was lying on, then force fed him, he was like a baby. A huge baby boy that's way too spoiled. He wanted to argue with her, but that pouted face of hers was really convincing... or manipulative.

You sent: Hey, you awake?

Just as he hit the send button, Cinder's phone beeped. It was shocking for the boy at first, but he figured that it was probably a coincidence. After all, it's not usual for a girl like her to take care of someone. That's when he felt bad, here she was, taking care of him where in as he didn't need any help. Well, not if it's about the cure for his injury, putting anti-bacterial alcohol is really painful, and he's not going to put any of it, not unless someone forced him to.

"I'm sorry if it's a little dusty, no one is sleeping here anymore." he said, guiding her to one of her sister's room. "O-or if you'd like something cleaner, my room is, though I don't think you'd be comfortable at a boy's room." he added, this was a first time a friend of his is sleeping at his house, not to mention a girl.

In the end, she chose Jaune's room. Wasn't she going to get a bit uncomfortable since it's his room, they barely talked to each other. Sure, he can understand that his room is a lot cleaner, but still...

There's still school tomorrow, though there are no classes since it's the school's sports festival, he still didn't want to stay home and do nothing.

"What..." It was almost eight in the morning when he woke up, he was already an hour late so there's no helping it, he'll go to Beacon just before lunch. What surprised him wasn't that he was late, no, it was the smell of breakfast in the morning. There she was, cooking, different kinds of meal...

"Goodmorning" she sounded a bit cheerful, or was it sarcasm? He couldn't tell, there's so much that he didn't know about her.

"I'm so sorry... You didn't have to cook for me too, also, I should be the one who should be doing that." he apologized.

"It's okay. You're hurt."

"Still-"

"Think of me as your private nurse." she winked.

Okay, he was absolutely confused right now, last night it was the normal Cinder doing weird things. Now it was weird Cinder, doing weird things.

Still, here he was... sitting in front of her in his dining table, eating breakfast.

I am absolutely sorry if this isn't a really thought out chapter... It's almost new year and sickness has struck upon my mortal body. Fortunately, I am getting better day by day. So, yeah... this is all I could give for you now. Happy New Year everyone! :)
