Now, this is where instead of redoing a chapter (like a smart person), I'd improvise later on unless I have no other options. I got a review on here that was actually pretty helpful, so I'm gonna start using that classic 'bullshit my way out' tactic to use! Hope I get it right Zier!

Chapter 18: Making Amends

Oxpin's Office, Morning-

Glynda was upset. That much was clear. And she had every reason to be. At least, she thought so.

It was in the middle of class when she got the message. She slammed her crop so hard on the desk it nearly split in two. Yang noticed her being more harsh during the training sessions.

"What went up her skirt...?"

"Ms. Xiao Long!"

"Eep!"

Long (heheh) story short, Yang had detention for the rest of the school day.

But none of that mattered now. She was glaring at Ozpin in disbelief. And extreme. Anger.

"You mean to tell me...THAT-"

"Ms. Goodwitch, please calm down."

She sighed and rubbed her temple.

"Unacceptable. Mr. Ozpin, do you honestly expect me to-"

"As a teacher, yes. I know this is...troubling to you, but you have to learn to control yourself."

"I...*sigh* am aware, Professor. I just do not appreciate the fact that-"

"Yes, I know, Glynda."

Infirmary, Day-

X walked in the door, looking around. Pyrrah was pretty much all healed thanks to her aura, and other injuries her aura couldn't handle we tended to by the doctors. When she saw X, she tensed up.

"Heh, I really did a number on the girl. Pity.""Shut it, demon."

"H-hey, listen, I um...came here to say sorry...I just- I wasn't in control of my own body, and I couldn't immediately handle it, and-"

He was interrupted by a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm just glad you're back to normal."

"Aheh...thanks."

He nodded before Pyrrah noticed her team standing at the doorway with their weapons at the ready.

"You guys can relax, ya know. We made up." X said without looking back.

Pyrrah told them to put them down, and they complied.

"So, what's been going on with you? Haven't seem you recently." She asked him.

"Nothing much. Stopped a giant robot, drank my sorrows away, normal stuff."

"You did whaaaaaa?! Was the robot cool?!" Nora beamed.

"Yeah, I guess. I've seen bigger and better though."

"Where?!"

"Hm...secret."

"Pleeeeaaaase?"

"Oh, I hear they're serving pancakes downstairs right now."

"PANCAKES!"

She zooms to the cafeteria. Ren runs after her to keep her from eating everything. Jaune nervously sat beside Pyrrah. X looked at them.

"Is there something going on here or...?"

"What do you mean?" The blonde asks.

"Like, are you dating or something?"

Pyrrah blushes.

"I-Its nothing like that!"

"...Pyrrah, can I talk to you for a sec?"

She nods and asks if Jaune can leave for a second. He nods and leaves the room. X turned towards the girl.

"Okay, tell me what's actually going on. You obviously have had your eye on him for a while now. I noticed it the second I met you two."

"I admit, even I am getting tired of this one sided relationship drama.""W-well...I do admit I have a small... infatuation with Jaune..." Her face is as red as her hair.

"One question: why the hells would it be Jaune?"

"Well...he didn't know me when we first met...he treated me like a person more than a celebrity, or an untouchable goddess...he made me feel like a normal highschool girl...and I love that about him..."

"... I see. So, what's the issue with telling him?"

"I-I am! J-just being subtle about it!"

"Pyrrah, you and I both know subtlety won't work on Jaune of all people. You're stalling for something."

She sighs. "Well... I'm nervous...that he'll reject me..."

"Pyrrah. Look at my arms." She does so. "These weren't battle scars, but a personal struggle I had to heal from. You are a strong warrior. You've won many battles, like I have. But, scars aren't always physical. Sometimes you win, others you don't. You pursuing your interests is a struggle. So if you end up getting rejected, then grow up and heal from it. If you don't get refused, then that's just another battle won. So, what's your decision?"

Pyrrah thought long and hard about her decision, and his words. After a few moments, she hugged him.

"Thank you...I think I'll give a shot at being direct."

"Heh...no problem."

"This is boring..."

X hugged her back. She let go after a few moments, and proceeded to watch her skip like a little girl to Jaune. He saw them talk. Jaune had a look of pure surprise on his face. Then he looked as if he was thinking. Then he said something, which caused Pyrrah to jump up, hug, and kiss him. X smiled before starting to leave.

"Why the hell are you talking to me today?"

"Because. I can."

"That's not an actual fucking answer."

"Ugh, fiiiiine. Ass. Today feels like it's going to crash, and there would only be one reason why. Check your scroll."

X cautiously did so. He saw a text from Glynda to stay far away from the school for about two months.

"Why would she...?"

"She must be trying to keep you from something. Which is saying something. I say we stick around a bit longer~"

"What are you planning?"

"Nothing. I simply wish to bathe in the chaos I feel will ensue."

X ignored him and went on his way to the dorms. He saw Yang and Weiss just watching a movie.

"Hey X! Wanna watch with us?" Yang asks.

"If it's about romance, boys, or teenage girl tropes, I will throw the TV out of the window."

"I'll take that as a no then."

He goes up to his attic and starts reading before he hears a knock at his attic entrance.

"It's open!"

Blake comes in with two plates full of fish.

"So, u-um...I thought I'd get to know you a bit better, since I'm the only one who hasn't talked to you much. And I'm curious about these supposed cards."

"I won't stop you if theres food involved."

They sat down across from each other.

"So...do you read a lot?" X asks her.

"Yes..." She shyly nodded.

"Nice. Ever consider writing?"

"Maybe once or twice..."

"Okay, look Belladonna, something is clearly wrong with you. Wanna tell me why you're so damn nervous?"

"I-it's just that I've admired you for a while! S-since the White Fang days, I...always tried following your trail... but I could never find you. And it's pretty surreal to have an actual hero right in front of me..." She was super red, and her ears were flattened a bit.

X looked at her in slight surprise.

"Oh. Well then... what do you call me a hero for? I heard the reason you left the Fang was for the same thing I do.'

"Well... you've only hurt those who deserve it...you don't kill innocents..."

"But it doesn't mean I didn't kill."

"I know..."

Oxpin's Office, Day-

X was on his way to get Yang when he heard voices by the office. He decided to listen in, only to start shaking in slight fear.

"I knew it. He's here."

I am SO SO SORRY this took so long! I just had a lotta stuff goin on! Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter!
