Jaune ran off the boat and straight towards a dumpster, grabbing the rims of it just about all of his stomach's contents went right into the dumpster. Once he finished he looked up, and sighed. Looking around he was in the faunus island of Menagerie...again, he wished this wasn't the case but it unfortunately was. Standing up he fished for something in his pocket, after a bit he found what he was looking for. Between his fingers he held a thin laminated card, it had a simple headshot of him, his name, dob, faunus heritage, and rank.
"Lieutenant Jaune Arc of the White Fang...gods dammit"
Now don't get me wrong, Jaune had no qualms about being in the White Fang. In fact he was all for what their message was about, instead it was the whole fiasco that was currently developing in the white fang. For starters Blake had abandoned Adam on a train during a heist, then Adam became all mopey and ignored Sienna so she in turn sent Jaune to find out what had happened. Fast forward a couple months and Jaune had arrived in Vale, to a not so pleasant reception all thanks to one Blake Belladonna.
Some time ago
Jaune walked through the dark streets of Vale, he had been tasked in locating Adam's splintered cell and re-establish connections between the group. Unfortunately, the location he was given was already abandoned so now here he was wandering around Vale in the middle of the night. Checking his wallet Jaune multiple lien cards of different colors.
"Great job Jaune, first you find absolutely nothing about Adam and then you get yourself lost in Vale. Well what's the worst that could happen?"
Jaune turned the corner of a street and saw a small red dot, his eye twitched and his finger fidgeted.
"Must. Keep, composure"
The red dot swiveled in a small circle and sped off from him, Jaune crouched down to all fours and followed suit. In this moment sane, intelligent Jaune was thrown out the window and in his place was dumb, goofy caracal Jaune. He lept past multiple blocks trying, and failing, to catch the mysterious red dot. Rounding the corner Jaune saw the dot go into an alleyway, chasing behind it Jaune saw it hovering in the air. He lept for it, unaware of the net he jumped straight into.
It all happened so fast that Jaune wasn't able to react on time. The net wrapped around his body and he was unable to move, Jaune tried to break free but a cloth was placed over his mouth, gagging him. Then he felt something hit him in the back of the head and darkness was all Jaune saw for some time.
Upon waking up Jaune tried to move his limbs but was unable to, he struggled for a bit to get out of his binds before he heard a voice. Something about him waking up and something else he couldn't catch. Soon enough the blindfold was removed and so was his gag, blinking his pupils readjusted and standing in front of him was none other than Blake.
"Oh for fucks sake, really? Of all the people to kidnap me it had to be you?"
The girl in turn was surprised
"What kind of reaction is that?" he heard someone say next to him, turning his head, Jaune saw a blonde girl in a leather jacket. Before he could say anything else Blake grabbed him by the cheeks and made him face her.
"What are you doing here?"
"I got kidnapped and am currently being forced against my will by a crazy ex-colleague. What about you?"
"NO! I mean, what are you doing in Vale?"
"I don't have to tell you, I don't have to tell you anything"
Blake looked on the verge of rage, she was about to lash out when the blond one spoke up.
"Here Blake, let me try this interrogation thing out" with that said, blond stepped in and straddled herself on top of Jaune
"Hey" she said
"Um...hey?"
"So, you wouldn't mind telling me why you're in vale?" she traced her finger over Jaunes chest and made a spiral motion on it.
"U-uh-h, like I told B-blake"
"D'aw, you wouldn't say anything for little ole me?" she fluttered her eyelashes and pouted her lips.
Jaune looked around the room, he needed to find something to distract himself. Jaune noticed that standing to his left was a girl in red, she was using her cloak as a way to cover her eyes from what was going on.
'Wait...covered eyes? Check. Embarrassed blush? Check. Somewhat vague intrigue? Double check. These two are siblings'
With that in mind Jaune looked back at the blonde, she had pushed her chest up and her face was dangerously close to his.
"So? Mind telling me wh-MM!" Her eyes widened, the reason for that was because Jaune had unceremoniously kissed her. Looking back at red she had dropped her cloak and had a face of abject horror. Perfect.
The blonde tried to get away but Jaune wrapped his tongue with hers, she moaned into his mouth and soon the two began to make out. Jaune looked over her shoulder and at Blake, who in turn ripped blonde from his lap and on to a chair.
"Yang, what the hell are you doing fraternizing with the terrorist"
Jaune spoke up "Hi kettle names pot, have we met?"
She ignored him and looked back at Yang, who in turn looked at Blake then at him. Jaune simply winked at her and she blushed like a mad schoolgirl. Jaune internally cringed, he had never been suave enough to do something like that ever. Makes you wonder what happens in life to him. Jaune felt a light poke to his chest, looking up he saw red glaring straight at him. In her hands she had a corgi that looked at Jaune.
"What's with the dog?"
Her eyes widened "Wait, you're not afraid of Zwei?"
"One: that's stereotypical, two: not all cat faunus are afraid of dogs. Just Blake" who in turn hissed.
"Ok, timeout. Why exactly was I kidnapped? The only person I know in this room is Blake"
"Wait, you don't know who I am?" turning his head Jaune saw Weiss Schnee
"Of course I do, you're the short megalomaniacle heiress to the SDC"
The girl deadpanned and sighed into her palm, once again he turned his head and looked at Blake "Again, why was I kidnapped?"
This time red spoke up "Because Blake recognised you and told us you were a super important White fang person. So she wants to find out why your here so then we can stop you and the rest of the white fang"
Jaune couldn't help but replace red with his own little sister, who in turn would say something similar with so much optimism.
"So Jaune, mind telling us why you're here?" Blake questioned
"As if. You of all people should know I don't run my mouth like the rest of the fang"
Blake glared at Jaune, then she snapped her fingers and smiled smugly. Jaune in turn didn't know what was going on until he felt thin, lithe fingers pet his ears. A faint blush overcame his face, looking up he saw both Red and the schnee petting his ears.
"Now, I'll ask again. Why are you here?"
"I-I won't t-talk" Jaune stuttered, he felt something climb up his throat, he tried to hold it back but was unable to.
Purrrrr
He felt the two girls pause before they went back to not just petting his ears, but to scratching behind them, brushing his hair, and scratching his head. Jaune couldn't think straight so instead he kept purring, each purr getting louder and longer.
"Jaune?" Blake crouched down and looked him dead in the eye, a smirk placed on her face and a twinkle in her eye "Why did you get sent here"
"I-i w-was s-sent to purrr c-ch-check up o-on a-aaaaa-adam, S-sienna w-was c-c,c,c,c-curious as to why he w-wasn't purrrr res-sponding to h-her calls"
Blake grinned "Anything else I should know?"
"S-sienna sent m-me t-the locations o-of a -p,p,p,-previous white faaaaaang base. I-it was empty a-and I w-was supposed to get a-a f-follow u-up on m-my s-scroll" Jaune
"Good boy" Blake pet his cheek before gagging him. She looked at both Red and Schnee "You two keep him occupied, I'll go look through his scroll.
Jaune was in trouble, big time. He needed to get out of here and fast before they got the scroll, if they did not only could he get sent to prison but also be considered a traitor for giving away information. Damn it Jaune think, what could you d-
The lights to the room flicked on and everybody froze, standing at the door frame was a tall blond woman. Behind her was a group of four, each unsure of what was going on. As for the woman, well she had a face that read scandalous.
"What in the world is going on in here?"
"Uh-uh Ms. Goodwitch, how are you doing?" Red replied sheepishly
"Ms. Rose, please explain to me why there is a young man tied to a chair, gagged, and what I could only describe as ecstasy and fear on his face while you and Ms. Schnee are petting his ears? More importantly what was going through your head that kidnapping someone was a good idea in the first place?"
"Um...uh, It was Blake's idea?"
The woman turned to the black cat and glared even harder "Well, I'm waiting?"
"Ms. Goodwitch, That man is Jaune Arc-"
"Jaune?!" he turned his head and in the doorway he saw his younger sister 'oh right, she's attending Beacon….wait, i'm at Beacon?!'
"Ms. Arc you know this man?" the woman questioned
"Yes! That's my older brother"
"He's your brother?!" all 7 of the children yelled out, Jaune pressed his ears against his head so as to muffle their scream.
"J-jane, your brother is a te-"
"A cosplayer? Yes! Now please untie him" his sister interrupted red and went over to remove his binds.
"Ms. Rose, Ms. Schnee, Ms. Belladonna my office now" The woman scanned the room "Where's Ms. Xiao-Long"
From the chair she was sitting she stood up and looked at Jaune, walking over to the now untied boy she gave him a slip of paper and winked. Jaune opened it and saw multiple digits and his face turned red.
"Do I need to know what led to this situation?"
Blond simply shook her head from side to side. The woman then marched off with the three girls in tow. Jaune grabbed his scroll from Blakes hand and smiled triumphantly. Turning around he looked at Jane and she sighed, walked up and hugged him.
"Guess I saved you huh?"
"Yeah"
"Anyways, goodnight. We'll talk in the morning"
Jaune saw the door close and exhaled, turning around he saw blonde smiling
"What?"
"We've got the room all to ourselves"
"Ok?"
The girl walked up to him and pressed him against the wall "So….I was thinking we could enjoy ourselves for a bit. But first shower" she pointed to a door and he in turn walked over there.
Entering the bathroom he stripped and went inside the shower, he recognised some brands of soap but only used what he needed. He never noticed the door open or the second body join him up until two arms were wrapped around his chest and a chin rested on his shoulder.
"About that fun I was talking about"
Present
Jaune rubbed his neck, that night was crazy. He checked his scroll and on it was a message, opening it he saw that it was from Yang.
Y: how was your trip?
J: Hell
Y: hahahaha
J: How's your team?
Y: they all have detention and counseling
J: counseling?
Y: yeah. Basically it's about why it isn't correct to kidnap people and basically assault them. That type of thing, also how they included someone who was still underage and could get in trouble for it.
J: ah, gotcha
Y: so, when will you be back in Vale?
J: when I have a break probably
Y: what if I visited you?
J: Menagerie isn't fond of humans
Y: I don't have to go as a tourist, You could always bring me in something else ;)
Jaune looked at the message and blushed deeply
J: your kidding...right?
Y: I dunno, I wouldn't mind what your thinking if that's how I can visit
Jaune's blush deepend, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw another faunus man smiling in congratulations
"You must be one lucky fellow"
"Hehe...yeah, lucky"
He winked and continued walking
J: Aren't you 17?
Y: and? I turn 18 in a month. Besides I legally am allowed to buy drinks because i'm a huntress in training
J: oh so it's fine to communicate like this to each other? Also, drinks have nothing in common with what we're talking about
Y: of course it does, it means that legally I'm considered an adult
J: Yang
Y: fine, party pooper. Besides I never said anything, only implied it
J: anyways, got to go. Need to speak with my higher ups
Y: bye
User [Yang] has sent a private image
Jaune was too scared to open it in public, so he stashed his scroll and walked towards the main White fang base. Jaune didn't know how he could tell Sienna that A: he wasn't able to locate Adam...actually that was a lie. B: that he's currently dating a human after a full 3 months of being away.
Speaking of which Jaune was honestly surprised that he was able to even date a girl like yang. The reason was simple, he himself stuttered and tripped on his words when speaking to girls, actually just in general. Meanwhile Yang was the opposite of him, she was outgoing and very expressive. So it's like the saying opposites attract, sure it's a bit cheesy but hey it is what it is.
After the first awkward moments of their relationship things started to move forward rather quickly, Yang made sure to keep his job a secret and Jaune made sure to work mainly in Menagerie and not Vale so as to not get into any confrontations with his girlfriend. Well that and Blake was a bitch.
So what if her partner's dating a terrorist, she boned one too and Jaune didn't mind. Speaking of dates, that first one was rather normal in some way. Well up until the end that is.
2 months ago
Jaune and Yang exited the theater hand in hand, of course the only reason for that was because Yang had suggested going to watch a horror movie. Jaune not wanting to ruin the evening agreed to it. Of course both didn't realize how much they would be scared by an undead spirit trying to murder her own family. So when the credits rolled and the lights turned on many people saw a blonde girl in her boyfriend's lap, said boyfriend rocking her gently trying to calm both of them down.
"Ugh, we shouldn't have watched that movie" Yang gritted out
"Agreed"
As the two walked out of the theatre they began to make their way back to the bulkhead docks, Jaune was to drop Yang off and then head to his rented apartment. While walking Yang leaned her head into his shoulder, gently resting it.
"So Yang, how's it like being a huntress?"
"Eh, normal I guess?"
"Well, for you it might be normal but for me…"
"Fine well….actually I can't really answer your question"
"How so?"
"My team hasn't really done much huntress work because we don't get missions until later in the semester"
"Oh, gotcha. Speaking of which, what's it like being in a team?"
"Nuh-uh, you asked me a question now it's my turn. Do you have a team?"
"I wouldn't call them a team, more like co-workers"
"Eh, same thing"
"Well, first there's Illia. She's a chameleon faunus, practically a close friend of mine and a really cool person"
"Well if she's a friend of yours why didn't you ask her?"
"She doesn't swing my way, prefers same gender stuff"
"Oh, makes more sense now"
"Yeah, but funny enough I feel more comfortable talking with her than anybody else"
"What about me?" She fake pouted
Jaune just ruffled her hair, which in turn earned him a half glare "We've only just been hanging out but even then your still pretty cool in your own right"
"Heh, thought so"
"Then there's-"
"Yang? Is that you?"
Yang froze and her head shot up
"What, what's wrong?"
"I think I heard my uncle. Quick let's go this wa-"
Jaune noticed a scruffy looking man jog up to them, the first thing he noticed was the massive sword against his back. Jaune himself didn't bring a weapon so he hoped things didn't resort to violence.
"Hey there firecracker, haven't seen you in a while"
"H-hey there Uncle Qrow"
The man known as Uncle Qrow saw that they were holding hands and then looked at Jaune. He in turn looked at the older man, although he had a facade of pure confidence, internally he was absolutely freaking out.
"Who are you and may I ask what you're doing with my niece at this time?"
Jaune looked at Yang, sheer panic spread across her face. Jaune took in a deep breath and looked at Qrow.
"Hello sir, names Jaune nice to meet you"
"Jaune huh, you didn't answer my second question"
"I was simply going on a date with your niece"
Jaune glanced at Yang and she paled "Is that so"
"Yes sir"
"Well then, you wouldn't mind letting me escort her back to Beacon would you"
He forgot to mention 'and away from you'.
"Actually sir, she would prefer it if I walked her back"
"Oh, is that so" his eyes narrowed
"Yes"
"And why is that"
Jaune breathed in and steeled his nerves "because frankly you look a drink away from collapsing onto the ground, and let's be real here, the pavement's already had your affection one too many times"
"Snrk" Yang placed a hand over her mouth, she was however still shaking from silently giggling. Jaune looked at the man in front of him whose face was a mix between surprised, impressed, and rage.
"I'll give it to you, that one was pretty good. But as a loving uncle-"
Jaune cut him off "You'd walk to the infirmary to check up on your liver"
Yang was cackling in the background, meanwhile Qrow was as red as a tomato. He then turned around and walked away, grumbling to himself.
"Oh my god, you stood up to Uncle Qrow without losing a few teeth" Yang shouted in awe
Jaune released a held breath "Welp, glad you enjoyed that" Jaune took a step forward on shaky legs and nearly collapsed if it wasn't for Yang catching him.
"Guessing your nerves got shot there"
"Yup"
"Aww, who's the brave knight in shining armor?" she asked in a playful voice
"I'll only answer if you pet my ears"
"I'll do you one better" With that she pressed her lips against his and gave a quick kiss. Jaune smiled at her and the two continued their walk towards Beacons docs.
Elsewhere a certain scruffy looking man leaned against the wall of an alley. Standing next to an old box he gave it two knocks and from it emerged Ruby Rose.
"So, how'd the mission go? Is Yang single again?"
"Sorry kiddo, boyfriends got tough skin and a sharp tongue. You might as well get used to seeing the two together, because there ain't nothing I can do about it"
"Damit!" Ruby pulled at her hair and looked at the ground glumly.
"Have you asked your old man to do something"
"Yes and not only did that fail, but dad actually likes Jaune too"
"Shame" Qrow pulled out his hip flask and drank a bit. Or so he thought because when he raised it there was no flask. Looking at his niece he saw her drink the full contents of it. A blush formed on her face and she gave a small hiccup.
"C-carry me b-ba *hiccup* back to Beacon"
"Whatever you say" Picking her up the duo made their way to the bullhead docs. Unfortunately, Qrow's semblance activated and the final bullhead to Beacon was the one Jaune and Yang were currently on.
Present
Jaune had to spend the night at Beacon after that due to the docs closing, of course Blake objected but the vote was against her.
Walking up to the Fangs main HQ he knocked three times, the door opened and he saw Ilia wearing her mask.
"Jaune, your back"
"Or am I?"
She smacked his arm playfully and ushered him in. The caracal faunus put his mask on and walked deeper into the base.
"So, how'd it go" Ilia asked
"Classified" Jaune replied with a smirk
"Jaune, don't be like that. Come on tell me"
"Alright fine, well to begin I'm no longer single"
"I feel bad for whoever's dating you" Ilia replied snarky
"I'm sorry, can you speak up I can't hear you from up here"
"You know I don't like those jokes Jaune"
"Then wear stilts"
"Whatever, so who's the girl?"
"Promise not to make a scene?"
"Alright"
Jaune pulled out his scroll and got a picture of Yang, unfortunately he opened up the most recent one he received.
"Holy shit! That's her!?"
Jaune looked at the picture and froze, on it was Yang with a unique choice of clothing involving cow print, a tail, and headband with fake ears and horns. Immediately Jaune closed out of the image and looked at Illia. His face was beat red while Illia's whole body was a deep red.
"Not. A. Word"
"U-understood"
The two walked in silence for a bit, Jaune too embarrassed to have shown that picture to Illia.
"You guys wouldn't mind a third player, would you?"
"Ilia" Jaune grounded out
"What, just curious"
"God dammit Ilia"
"Fine, but the offer is still up"
"Anyways" Jaune quickly changed the subject "found out what Blakes been up to"
Ilia's face lit up a bit "and?"
"Well...she's still a bitch"
"Jaune she's only a bitch to you"
"Probably because I'm a cat too"
"Oh shut it. So, what happened that led to you guys meeting up?"
"I got kidnaped, interrogated, and molested"
"In that order or…"
"Get your mind out of the gutter"
"Ugh, fine"
"Mission nearly failed because of her"
"How so"
"Promise not to laugh?"
"Yup"
"She...had two of her teammates pet my ears until I gave away all the information"
"Oh. Wait, your weakness is your ears"
"Ilia"
"I'm only messing with you"
The two continued to walk side by side for a while, during which Jaune told Illia about Yang, his time in Vale, and other non-descript things. Arriving at Sienna Kahn's office, Jaune knocked three times.
"Who is it?"
"Lieutenant Arc"
He felt a jab at his ribs
"And Ilia"
The door opened and the two walked into Sienna's chambers. Sitting up on her throne was Sienna Kahn, high leader of the white fang.
"Jaune, good to see you. I assume your mission went well"
Jaune looked up sheepishly "define well?"
"Lieutenant?" she said dangerously
"Ok, um where to begin. So, I found Adam and he went behind your back by establishinganewalliancewithathirdpartyorganization…*Gasp*….andindoingsowantedtousethewhitefangasameanstotakeovervaleanddestroybeacon. Got that?"
Sienna looked at him with shock"what did you do to the traitor?"
In the background a faint "wait, you understood him" was heard but the two ignored it. "I um…" Jaune remembered back to his confrontation with Adam.
One month ago
Jaune held Kairo, his Scimitar, close. He was currently low on aura but so was his opponent. Adam Taurus stood in front of him, the remains of the white fang establishment in Mt. Glenn burning behind him.
"Know this Arc, when I kill you I will not hesitate to go after your family"
"Really, cheesy one liners?"
"Silence" he stood up, wilt in hand "I will bring justice for the faunus if it's the last thing I do"
"And? People will still fear you, the faunus you claim to save will hate you and the white fang if you continue down this road"
"Then they will burn too"
Adam took a step forward and readied his blade, Jaune brought his up to block the attack; knowing Adam though, he didn't know if he had the strength to do so. Adam lunged at Jaune
"Ragghh!"
And was swallowed whole by a massive nevermore. Jaune eyes widened as the large grimm ate the White Fang powerhouse. Jaune activated his semblance and suddenly his hair and ears turned white. The nevermore finished it's food, looked at Jaune and squawked. As it flew away Jaune deactivated his semblance and released a breath he didn't know he held.
Jaune collapsed on his back and looked at the remains of the base, one thing revolving in his mind.
'How am I going to explain this to Sienna?'
Present
"I see. And these people he was working with?"
"I anonymously tipped the correct people and they dealt with them"
"Good job lieutenant. Now then I believe that concludes your missi-"
" High leader, General Ironwood is on the line"
"What does he want now?"
Jaune and Ilia saw the High leader walk into a room to the right of the area. The two looked at each other unsure of what was happening.
"So...you killed Adam?"
"To be honest, a nevermore ate him"
Ilia cackled to herself "Really? Your joking"
"Serious, it came out of nowhere and just,'nom' ate him up"
"So you're really going to take the credit from a bird?"
"I mean, I did injured him to the point that the nevermore could eat him. So yes, i'll take credit on the kill"
"More like kill-assist"
"At least I got laid during my mission"
Jaune yelped and grabbed his foot, looking at Ilia she was examining her nails as if she didn't step on him with her boot. Jaune hissed at Ilia who in turn presented him a single finger. After a bit Jaune rested his foot and tapped Ilia on the shoulder.
"So, what did you do?"
She looked up at him "nothing interesting"
"Oh come on, you know everything with you is interesting"
Ilia turned her head and blushed, Jaune grew a mischievous grin "Di-dif I just see The Ilia Amitola, blush, from little old me?"
"S-shut up" she punched his arm "dummy"
"Ok but for real what di-"
"RAAGGHH!"
The two faunus froze and stared at Sienna Khan, said lady was currently stomping through the room. She turned her head and looked past the two.
"Corsac!"
"Yes high leader?"
"Get me Chieftain Belladonna on the CCTV. I need to tell him about what I just talked about with the great general Ironwood"
Jaune sheepishly looked up "I'm guessing things didn't go well?"
"Oh no, things went mighty fine, up to the point that the man said that Adam's actions could lead to a war between Atlas and the faunus. Worst of all is that although Adam was no longer a part of the white fang of menagerie, he deems it suitable to consider his actions against beacon as an extension of the white fang stationed here! So no, lieutenant things are not going well!"
"Oh, I see. Can't we reason with him?"
"As I so clearly demonstrated, No we cannot reason with him. Ugh! That bullheaded, mechanical idiot is going to get us killed!"
"And how long do we have to set up a peace treaty?"
"He won't give us any time, as we speak he is currently preparing troops to invade menagerie"
"Isn't that a bit-"
"Much, yes lieutenant it is"
Jaune groaned "Does he have approval of the councils?"
"Yes, Atlas and Mistral obviously. Vacuo took him some time, but it was Vale that was able to delay him up until now"
Jaune hummed to himself, what could he do. There was nothing currently stopping the general from attacking. He felt his scroll vibrate in his pocket and instantly a lightbulb turned on.
"High Leader, I have an idea in how we could delay him and set up peace negotiations"
"What kind of idea?" she asked almost desperately
"A crazy one, but it may work"
"Are you out of your damn mind!"
Ironwood flinched when he heard the vulgar words, currently Ozpin's office was a warzone. The reason for that is simple, about a month and a half ago James decided to send out a message to Sienna Khan. The reason for that was because of recent news about a plausible attack on Beacon, he felt that he needed to end the Fangs reign of terror once and for all.
"Tell me this is some sort of sick joke!?"
"Mr. Xiao-Long! Please, calm down"
"Calm down!? After this asshole decided it's a good idea to attack Menagerie while my daughter is held hostage there!?"
Unfortunately a problem arose, a white fang agent was able to slip into Beacon Academy and kidnap a student. More specifically Yang Xiao-Long, Ironwood was ,however, confused. Why kidnap someone like Ms. Xiao-Long and not a high profile student like Ms. Schnee, Ms. Nikos, or Mr. Winchester. Each hold or come from respected family titles, so why kidnap someone like her.
Currently he could think less about that now as he was slammed into a wall, James glared at Mr. Xiao-Long as he pinned him by the collar of his coat.
"Call off the attack, now!"
"You have no authority to tell me what to do"
"I don't care about authority, I just want to know my daughter won't be caught in the crossfire of what could be a battlefield with that thing strapped to her neck"
That was another point of concern, somehow the White Fang was able to develop an aura dampener collar. In other words a tool that could turn off someone's aura. Although some prisons had aura dampening rooms, those required high amounts of dust and machinery to work.
"Mr. Xiao-Long you of all people know war is a messy buisne-ahh!" James was thrown into Ozpin's desk, destroying it in the process
"We're already in a war against her, we don't need to go into another one with the white fang" this time it was Glynda who spoke up
"James, Glynda is correct. We need to think this logically, if we begin another war imagine the negativity that could produce. We may as well not have caught those 3 servants of Salem and let them proceed with their plan. Do we really need to start a war now?"
"Ozpin"
"General listen to them, think this through. We can possibly settle peace negotiations with the White Fang, and while we do have a team of hunters or the ace-ops go in and save Ms. Xiao-Long. When that is done we could possibly arrest High Leader Khan and the rest of her group" James looked at Specialist Schnee
"How about we just talk about peace negotia-"
"I'll lead the team" Taiyang spoke up
"Mr. Xiao-Long, I know she's your daughter but we cannot have you act out on impul-"
Glynda tried to input her concerns but Tai cut her off "I've already lost too much in this war, I'll be damned if anything happened to my daughter"
"Alright, you win. I'll call off the attack and we can settle this peacefully"
Ozpin nodded and the room calmed down a bit, Tai on the other hand walked over to the window and sighed
"I can only imagine what she's going through, the torture, the pain she must be holding in. the horror that is going through her"
"AAAAAAHHHH!" Yang screamed as she and Jaune ran out of the haunted house, after a bit hysteria caught up and the two started cackling with laughter.
"Oh, that was so fun. Come on let's go to that stand I want to win a stuffed dragon"
"As you wish"
She never expected Menagerie to be so vibrant and lively, she also didn't expect it to be so hot. Luckily Jaune had taken her clothes shopping for a bit and she was able to get some more appropriate attire.
"Jaune over here" she saw her boyfriend walk over, the man running the stall looked at her and then Jaune. She noticed how his eyes lit up.
"Jaune, my boy how have you been? Who's the lady you're with tonight, don't tell me you found someone special now?"
"Actuall Hugo I did. This is Yang, my girlfriend"
Yang noticed how he grinned at the news "ha-ha, I knew you would be able to find someone" He then turned to Yang "So, do tell me how you met up, I hope it wasn't too awkward. Jaune can be a bit dense at times"
Yang giggled at the small tid-bit "Tell me about it. Well we actually met up at a movie theatre. My friends left me to watch a different movie and we sorta just bumped into each other" Yang lied of course. If she were to tell him the truth it would be too awkward
"Let me guess, he used that 'arc charm' of his?" he said that with finger quotes
"If by 'arc charm' you mean stuttering around and looking absolutely adorable, then yes" That wasn't a lie, even during their relationship Jaune was still prone to do that at times
"Hahahah!" the man gave a hearty laugh "I'm assuming you're here for a stuffed animal?"
Jaune nodded "Yup, the tiger"
The man rubbed his chin, turned to the tiger and pulled it off the rack "Well then here you go"
Yang grabbed it from his hands and hugged it, she looked at Jaune fish for his wallet but was stopped with a hand on his shoulder. The older man whispered something in his ear and winked.
"Anyways, thanks for stopping by Jaune. Have a great rest of your evening"
"You too Hugo"
As the duo walked off Yang looked at Jaune "so what'd he tell you?"
"Stuff"
"What kind of stuff?"
"Super duper important stuff that nosey girlfriends shouldn't know about"
Yang pouted but after a bit latched onto his arm. "Fine, you can tell me when later"
As they continued walking Yang noticed how almost everybody called Jaune by name and waved at him, the stall owners sometimes stopped him, or how some of the girls glared jealously at her.
"So Jaune, how do you know all the people here?"
"Huh, oh Kuo Kuana is a tightly knit community. We care for each other and stand up for each other"
"I get that, Patch is the same. But the vendors, some people on the streets know you more personally. Why is that?"
Jaune sighed "I was born into a...unique family. You see my father was a hunter while my mother was a stay at home mom. She raised us and we are a tightly knit family. However there's just one slight problem"
"What's that?"
Jaune reached into his pocket and opened his scroll, pulling out a family portrait Yang noticed something. Jaunes mom, dad, and sisters all had wolf features while he was the sole feline"
"Oh, so that means…"
"I was the byproduct of a one night stand. Yeah, sucks. But my mom raised me as if I were her own, I love her and my sisters to death, same goes for my dad. But of course I got curious and started to ask around for my real mother, I started spending more time in the plaza and market districts. I would talk to people like Hugo and his wife almost everyday to the point that everybody knew me and my family"
Yang squeezed his hand tighter as he told his story "Eventually I did find out who my birth mother is, turns out she was a rouge huntress who started working for bandits"
Yang looked at him shocked "we met up and she talked to me for a bit. I was….disgusted to say the least. In the end I realized I was lucky enough to have been my fathers son"
The two walked quietly for a bit, Yang took into consideration what he said and decided to open up "My birth mother left my dad and I when I was at a young age"
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"No, don't be. She's also a bandit herself"
Jaune snorted at that "guess we both got bandit birth mothers"
"Yeah….come on let's head to the beach. I got a new swimsuit I want to try out"
"You know I already see the top right?"
Yang smirked "That's not all you see"
Jaune began to sputter and he blushed "hahaha, come on lead the way big-kat"
"Whatever"
"We've got exactly 45 minutes until General Ironwood finishes his meeting with Sienna Khan. That should give us more than enough time to rescue Yang"
Ruby nodded at her fathers words, she eyed Weiss and Blake. The 4 hugged the wall to the White Fang base, thanks to Blake they were able to identify where Yang was being held prisoner. Climbing the wall, the 4 made it to the top floor and ducked under windows.
Ruby was scared when she learned about Yang's kidnapping but she knew her sister could hold strong until help arrived.
"This should be the place"
Blake went up to the window and looked inside, unfortunately the blinds were closed so she couldn't see anything.
"Alright, stand clear girls" Ruby saw her dad wind up a punch
"Wait" she whisper-yelled
"What Ruby?"
"If we break the glass we run the risk of alerting the guards, lets try and open it"
"Really Ruby" Weiss questioned "I doubt it-"
"Hey would you look at that it's unlocked" Tai said
Ruby smiled smugly at her partner
"Hey, quit it. let go!"
"That was yang" Blake said she readied her weapon
"Ouch, stop that. I said let go!"
The group readied themselves to attack
"Alright, that's it when I get out of here I am so destroying you first"
Tai leapt through the window crashing through the blinds, Ruby Blake and Weiss followed.
"Don't worry Yang we're here...to...rescue you?" Ruby said confused at what she saw. There in the middle of the room was Yang and Jaune. Yang was wearing her night clothing but she also noticed her hair was wet. Meanwhile Jaune was wearing a simple shirt and some shorts.
"Um...we can explain"
Tai stood up and got into a boxers position but Ruby tapped his shoulder "Yes...Ruby?"
"Hi, um, Mr. Xiao-Long. Pleasant night huh?"
"Jaune? Yang? What's going on?"
The two blondes looked sheepishly at each other, currently Jaune was holding Yang down by the waist while he held her scroll up in the air. Said girl was straddling Jaune while he laid on the floor
"It's not what it looks like" Yang blurted out
"It definitely doesn't. We..no, I thought you got kidnapped and were in trouble" he said
"Um, about that…" Jaune spoke up this time "you see, the whole kidnapping thing was a ruse to stop Ironwood from attacking Menagerie"
"But why kidnap Yang and not Weiss, or Pyrrha? No offence" Blake pointed out
"None taken"
This time both blushed "Um...Yang wanted to visit Menagerie so I may or may not have targeted her because of that, also that she's my girlfriend so….yeah"
"B-but the video. It showed you tied up and you looked helpless a-and"
"Oh you see dad, we kinda have to keep up the act of me being Jaune's prisoner….so uh" Yang paled "Oh gods this is awkward to say"
"Come on Yang spit it out" Tai ordered, Ruby also wanted to know why Yang was tied up
"Um, uh….you tell the Jaune"
"What! Why me? He's your dad"
"And your the boyfriend, so man up and tell him"
"As if I'm going to tell him"
"Children, I won't get mad. Just tell me exactly what you do to keep up an act"
The two were bone white in fear
"If they won't tell you I can" Ruby and the group turned their head to see a tanned girl, she had an oversized shirt tied to the side with shorts "Hey Blake"
"Ilia?"
"Anyways, Mr. Xiao-long. What the lieutenant does to your daughter is…" she leaned in to her dad's ear and whispered something. After a bit she finished and walked over to Jaune, grabbed the scroll from his hand, and then walked back. A smug smirk on her face.
"Ilia, you stone cold bitch" Jaune said
"That's for all the short jokes"
"I never thought you would be this petty"
Before the two could start bickering there was a cold aura in the room, Ruby shivered and looked at her father. His eyes were a dull blue but it was obvious he was ready to strike.
"You have exactly three seconds to tell me why I shouldn't kill you right here, right now"
Ruby looked at Jaune, he sucked in his breath and looked at Tai "Becau-" Jaune never got to finish as Tai launched forward to strike him. In that moment Yang pushed him to the ground and Tai sped past him towards the door.
To Ruby it all happened in slow-motion, the door opened and from it emerged General Ironwood. She could see the shock on his face and on her fathers. Looking at her teammates they all had a mix of fear and shock. Except Ilia, she was sporting a massive grin on her face.
Time resumed to normal as her father crashed into the general. Unfortunately behind him was Ozpin and the three fell from the third story into the main hall.
"Dad!"
Ruby could only facepalm over the events that occurred, she ran to the balcony and saw both atlas soldiers and white fang mooks checking them over and calling for assistance. She sighed and wished her uncle were here, she really liked that drink in his flask and could go for a swig.
"That concludes the report" Jaune stood left to Winter Schnee and to his right was Yang.
"I see. So Ms. Xiao-Long and Mr. Arc are in a closed relationship?"
"Yes headmaster"
"Yes sir"
They both said simultaneously. Jaune just wanted to leave the room, he knew Yang wanted the same thing but they both had to stay and talk to the three bedridden adults.
"Mr. Xiao-Long, you knew Your daughter was dating Mr. Arc?"
"Yes Oz I did. What I didn't know was that he was a white fang lieutenant"
"Hehe...oops" Yang said sheepishly
Jaune looked at the general, he didn't know if it was a good or bad thing but his jaw was dislocated after the fall. So currently he is unable to speak.
"So I assume you were both in on the kidnapping plot"
Jaune rubbed his neck sheepishly "more or less, I told her to be ready and she was. She just uh...took it a bit too far I guess you could say?"
"Or in other words, you both did...how do I put it? As your friend Ilia said 'what sounded like a pair of beowulf in the middle of spring heat?' "
The two chuckled nervously "I suppose we can let this discrepancy fly under the radar. Plus with the addition of the Vytal festival happening soon I am to guess you will be visiting Vale and root for Ms. Xiao-Long"
"Actually I wa-" he felt an iron grip on his shoulder
"You're going to root for me, right sweatie?"
"Yep. You bet. Whatever you say"
"Glad we're on the same boat"
Jaune rubbed his arm and looked at the headmaster "your both dismissed"
Walking out the two let out a sigh of relief and looked at each other.
"That could've gone better?" Yang asked
"I guess"
"So what now?"
"I've still got to fix somethings in the white fang and such"
"Oh right" Yang turned his way and smiled "we never did get to celebrate my birthday did we"
"Huh, no we didn't"
As the two walked out of the infirmary and towards Jaunes room the two continued to talk between themselves.
"Alright were here"
Jaune turned his head and saw Yang lock the door "um Yang?"
Before he could do much she pushed him onto the bed and then left to the bathroom. When she re-emerged Jaune saw her wearing cow print.
"Oh...wow"
"Yep. wow"
Raven was perched outside her daughter's window, after she heard rumors that she was kidnapped she made her way over to assess the situation. She still had one save after all. What she came to was something unexpected.
"Yang! That hurts, go slower"
"Nuh-uh. You got your fun, now it's my turn"
She placed a wing over her eyes and sighed, sometimes she wondered if she was more summer's daughter than hers. She felt a heavy weight next to her and she squealed indignantly, looking up she saw summer's actual daughter. She had a pair of binoculars and….was that a flask.
She transformed back to her normal and yanked it from her
"No daughter of mine is drinking on my watch"
"Oh now you care" the little twerp used her semblance and got the flask back. Taking a gulp she hiccuped and looked at Raven
"S-sit down, the sho-ws just getting started"
She scoffed but did as instructed, she grumbled to herself.
"I hate blondes" she heard the brat say out loud
"You and me both"
The two drank from the same flask until there was no more in it
Definitely a crack fic. For those that are unaware I wrote a caracal faunus Jaune one-shot in one of my story's. I was thinking of putting this in there but it was too long so it deserves it's own story.
Anyways I do hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions leave a review.
