Chapter 31: Jaune Xiao-Long 3


Concept: Summer adopts Jaune.
Appearance: None


-Party-

-Eleventh Years Later October 30th Signal-

"Go!" Jaune didn't waste so much as a second advancing Crocea Mors drawn and ready his opponent smiled as he closed in on Jaune swinging down his halberd only for Jaune to raise his shield blocking it before swinging up with Crocea Mors knocking the halberd out of the man's hands.

"Hey bro remember our bet!"

Oh, I remember.

Jaune quickly kicked the man away before he sheathed his sword, confusing the opponent. Taking a proper stance Jaune motioned his hands for the man to come irritating him. The man let out a sadistic smile.

"You think just cause you disarmed me you can win without a weapon? Cute Xiao Long, real cute." Jaune gave a shit eating grin.

"Your flirting's appreciated but not reciprocated… um sorry what your name again?" Jaune put a finger to his chin as if he was trying to recall the name.

"I wanna say pretentious asshat that hitting close to home?" Jaune gave the man an exaggerated smile the boys faced was caught between blushing from utter embarrassment and complete rage.

"You know damn well who I am Xiao Long, It Sky Lark!"

"Sky Lark? Sky Lark? Hmm, really not ringing any bells…" Sky could hear the other students snickering some even straight out laughing the biggest violator being Jaune's twin Yang. At his wits end Sky launched forward trying to hit Jaune but missing by a wide margin.

"Come on you gotta help me out here, anything to help me remember who you are? Were you the guy Who asked out Yang yesterday, whoa you must be pretty desperate for a blonde if you're willing to change teams and flirt with me to get a date with one."

"Shut up!" Sky punched again but Jaune merely swerved to the side.

"Oh! Or were you the one who forgot to flush and left that horrible mess in the restroom... Let me guess you tried the mystery meat during lunch?"

"I said shut up!" Sky let out a kick which Jaune rose his arm to block.

"Oh yeah I think I remember now…" Jaune grabbed the boys kicking leg and spun him by it letting him go and fly into a wall.

"You're the one who asked out my little sis yesterday then went bragging to your little pal Dove how you were totally just gonna use her to get a better weapon." Usually Yang would blow her top at hearing that but luckily today Sky wasn't put up against her. He was against her much kinder twin brother Jaune.

"Now Sky tell me something are you secretly a Cat faunus?"

"What? No! I'm not some animal!"

"Oh! So…" Jaune's searing white aura erupted throughout the room shocking some the new first years before it begun to all be focused into his fist.

"You didn't do something that stupid thinking you'd only lose one life huh? Well dad said I shouldn't kill people so… I suppose just crippling you would be enough. Right?" Sky never got to answer as the next moment he was struck in the stomach so hard the wall behind him formed a crater.

"Match!" Jaune put his hands behind his head while making his way to the seat beside his twin, the two fist bumping before Yang raised at the teacher's call. Usually Jaune might get in trouble with the teacher for using so much force but then again.

"So Firecracker who you picking?" Uncle Qrow was a teacher who very much believed in picking favorites.

"Let me think… okay done I'm picking Dove Bronzewing."

"Well that figures. You heard her Bronzewing! Hurry down for your funeral. Oh, and Firecracker try not to make too big a mess the janitors are starting to complain." A very scared Dove made his way down the seats to reach the arena for combat class, Jaune smiled at the man.

"Hey I know it seems cruel, but I promise it's for the best after all Yang would've killed old Sky, she'll just make you wish you were dead." After a horrifying ass beating a heavily injured Dove and Sky were carted away to the nurse.

"Okay students now what did we learn?"

"That spine should never be at a ninety-degree angle." Qrow nodded while Yang and Jaune chuckled.

"Well that true but not what I have in mind."

"Umm… don't fight anyone whose name ends in Xiao Long?"

"And?"

"Don't mess with anyone whose name ends in Rose."

"Give the kid a cookie, Alright class dismissed." Jaune and Yang got up from their final class for the day, as the two made their way out Yang punched Jaune's shoulder playfully.

"Nice plan Vomit boy." Jaune groaned at the nickname.

"It was one time!" His sister merely smiled back.

"One time to many for my taste."

"Oh come on I bought you new boots didn't I?" Yang shrugged before she put up a light pout.

"I still think you should've let me fight Sky."

"Yay no way I wanted to fuck the guy up, not kill him…mostly, also you think your pout can come close to Ruby's." Yang rolled her eyes before slugging her brother launching him into a locker by accident.

"Oh crap sorry! Forgot to turn off my semblance didn't think Dove got that many good lick in."

"Why!"

"Um…" Jaune and Yang turned to see a blushing first year whose eyes were locked on Jaune."

"Oh, hey… um you wanna talk to my brother." Jaune smiled stiffly earning a deadpan expression from Yang.

Seriously you're such a badass when its fighting time but when it comes to actually socializing with strangers you turn just as bad a Ruby.

"Well I got things to day so see ya later Jaune." As his sister left Jaune found himself utter wreak.

"Um… you were incredible."

Man, she sure has pretty black hair.

"heheh you think? Well um, I… yeah I love my sisters." The girl tilted her head.

"What?"

Okay seriously? Come on dude we can do better than that. Remember what dad said just be confident… Ugh! No way I can't socialize! I swear Yang stole all the charisma when we were born.

"I um… my names Long-Jaune Xiao, Wait crap! I mean Jaune-Long Xiao!"

"Um I know who you are Jaune Xiao-Long, are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah never felt better… So um… Nice Knees?"

What did I just say?

The girl took a step back.

"Well um it was nice meeting you… bye."

"…"

AHHHH! DAMMIT!

"'sigh' Yeah that seems about right…"

"Jaune!" Before he could even turn to see who, it was he was tackled down.

"Uhhh, Ruby a little restraint goes a long way." The petite reaper quickly switched to being slightly embarrassed getting off her big brother.

"hehee sorry." Jaune merely dusted himself off before grinning to his little sister.

"No problem Ruby, so how'd classes go."

"They're fine." Jaune and his sister begun to walk home Ruby going on and on about the weapon she was designing.

"A Hybrid, Seriously?"

"Yeah! She'll be a High Impact Sniper Rifle, Scythe… She'll be beautiful." Jaune whistled at his little sister's enthusiasm.

"She'll?" Ruby smiled broadly.

"Of course uncle Qrow said all the best weapons have names, So I figured why not genders two." Jaune smiled.

"By that logic Yang is fisting a pair of twins." Ruby quickly stopped trying to retch at the unpleasant imagine her brother had just put in her mind.

"That's Disgusting!"

"heheh, sorry sis couldn't help it. huh if that's the case I wonder what Crocea Mors is."

"Well duh it's a boy heheh if it was a girl you'd be too nervous to speak." Jaune blushed in embarrassment. Before raising a hand and flicking her head.

"Ow!" Ruby let out a pout and looked up to her big brother.

"Meanie!" Jaune just smiled and rubbed her head.

"Whatever, you wouldn't have me any other way" Ruby cheeks dusted pink before she shook and stuck out her tongue before a thought occurred to her.

"So have you decided on if your gonna make a new weapon?" Jaune stopped at the question before shaking his head and raising Crocea Mors.

"Nah, mom left me this guy, so I think I'm a bit attached, even if it's just a plain sword." Ruby nodded but Jaune knew his sister well enough to know she wanted to say something else.

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Epp, um… nope nothing at all."

"heheh glad at least your more awkward then me and a terrible liar to boot." Said blushing rose stomped in denial.

"No I'm not."

"Ruby I've seen you talk more to weapon and parts then real people."

"That doesn't prove anything!"

"Oh, really." Jaune smiled and Ruby knew her fate was sealed. Jaune looked around for anyone before finally spotting a very hurt Sky and smiling making Ruby go pale.

"Jaune Don-"

"Hey Lark!" The boy stopped before turning to Jaune and paling.

"Hey buddy, how you doing?" Jaune put an arm over the man's shoulder making Sky shake in terror.

"Wh-What do you want?" Jaune shrugged.

"Nothing really just thought my sister should give you an answer is all. Don't break her heart or-" Jaune gripped a nearby tree his aura enhancing his grip making his finger's tear deep into the bark finally pulling his hand out he revealed a rather large chunk of wood.

"I might just have to break yours." Jaune crushed the wood in his palm, beads of sweat ran down the man's forehead as he regretted ever trying to take advantage of the crimson reaper.

"Understand?" Sky furiously nodded as if his life depended on it, which it kind of did.

"You two have fun now." Jaune let go of the man and begun to walk away.

"But not 'too' much fun." White torrents of aura erupted from Jaune's form as the man looked back eyes locked on Sky while his mouth smiled his eyes promised a fate worse than death.

"Understood?" Sky once more nodded furiously, while Ruby was both paling and blushing at the prospect of having to… socialize!

-Taiyang's House-

"Oh my god yes!" Yang broke into a fit of laughter as she heard every detail of the story, their father and uncle less so.

"So Pipsqueak you just left her alone with a boy?"

"Come on Uncle Qrow give me a bit more credit than that." Jaune rose his Scroll revealing a red and blue dot on a map of Patch.

"A tracking device… when you'd get one of those." Jaune's shrugged.

"hmm, they advertise a lot of cool things on the back of comics."

"Still Ruby's still small…" Yang hung a hand around her twin's shoulder.

"Oh stop worrying, with how bad bro scared him I'll be surprised if they stay out for more than an hour." Jaune looked to the Scroll and lifted an eyebrow.

"Huh, speak of the devil." The door slammed open to reveal a blushing Ruby earning a shit eating grin from her older siblings.

"You suck Jaune." Jaune shrugged.

"Well that's been established, so how was your date?" Ruby blushed madly so much so that for a moment Jaune was tempted to go find Sky and finish what he started during their little spar, looking to his twin and uncle he could see they had similar thoughts.

"It was sooo embarrassing! He kept apologizing in front of everyone then Dove came and did the same. Than when I tried to leave he kept insisting I tell you he'd never get within ten feet of me again." Jaune chuckled lightly, maybe he had gone a bit far but for his precious little sister that was hardly an issue. While the others wanted her to stay innocent and pure till she hit 30 he was a realist and knew Ruby would start being interested in boys soon if she was anything like Yang. However, that didn't mean as her big brother that he wouldn't get a bit overprotective at time.

"Heh, yeah I probably went a bit overboard their Rose Bud, forgive me." Ruby face flushed as she looked away from Jaune.

"I told you to stop calling me that."

"Right, right sorry." Yang swung a shoulder over Jaune letting loose a teasing smile.

"Aww, you still blushing over being called that by Vomitboy. Maybe you still have a crush on your big brother eh?" Ruby face went as red as her scarf as she shrieked.

"Shut up Yang!"

"I wanna marry Jaune. Remember that sis?"

"I Said Stop! Pleasssse!" Jaune leaned back in his seat smiling at his little sis's face watching as she fidgeted around her face red and embarrassed. Honestly, he didn't see the big deal after all from what he'd heard having a crush on your parents or older sibling when you we small was apparently common. However, looking at his uncle and dad he couldn't help but notice the nervous expression they wore.

"Okay, okay sis I'll stop." Yang smiled at Ruby who merely looked away from her and pouted before facing Jaune again.

"This is your fault…" He tried to look guilty he really did but Ruby's pout was a powerful weapon and it forced him to smile.

"I'm sorry. tell you what I was thinking of upgrading my sword's sheath and I could really use a hand brainstorming some design ideas."

"Really!" Ruby launched for at Jaune catching him off guard almost completely.

"Y-yeah but I'm no good at the finer details plus I don't even know what I want yet." Despite his words the stars in his little sister's eyes only seemed to brighten that much more.

"Oh, I have some ideas I've got tons of designs in my room! I'll go get them." Ruby darted off leaving a trail of rose petals behind her. Yang looked to Jaune.

"She has designs for upgrading your weapon?" Jaune shrugged.

"Not just mine, everyone. The upgrade for Ember Celica has a grenade launcher attachment." Yang actually paused at that wondering if she'd be interested in such firepower, before she shook her head.

"The way I figure it, now's a good chance to find out what we're all doing for Rose Bud's birthday."
"Well we already got her gift So I guess all that's left is the party itself, hmm me and Tai can handle that. What about you and Firecracker?"

"Well, I have something a bit special in mind… but it's no good if I do it today, they'd be better fresh." The three looked to him curiously but quickly dropped it.

"Well Rubes will be visiting mom tomorrow before it gets dark for trick-or-treating like always." Jaune exhaled rubbing the back of his head.

"Damn that's right, sis doesn't have a weapon yet so I'm supposed to escort her there." Yang shrugged.

"No sweat, I guess I can go instead." Yang leaned back in her seat.

"So is that it." Before the group could finish a red blur rushed before the lot, Ruby smiled as she laid out a schematic for a shield/ Semi-automatic rifle hybrid. The next two hours were filled with nothing but Ruby going into great detail over the design making sure Jaune understood every little detail. Needless to say, he had the biggest headache as he went to sleep.

- October 31st-

Some people may say it's unfair that Ruby, Yang and Jaune got to play hooky on their birthdays, than again most people weren't related to two of the best teachers in Signal however while Jaune and Yang's birthday was usually a big deal, mostly because Yang was the top beauty and fighter of the school. Ruby's almost went unnoticed by all but her famines, not that she minded.

Ruby had woke up that day and for only that day she didn't care about her weapons, comics or even being a huntress. All she cared about was that like always her brother and sister would grant her the best birthday present she could ask for, visiting mom. As she walked alongside her older sister Yang she reached the familiar tombstone.

"Hi mom." Ruby did this every year, visiting her mom so that Summer could keep her promise of always celebrating the miracle that was her birth.

"I'm 15 now, there's a lot I wanna tell you but first let me just say Yang's here today so I'll be taking about Jaune instead since Yang would get angry if she heard what I told you." Yang merely looked to her sister, she didn't like that Ruby came her every year on what was supposed to be a happy occasion. However, Jaune defended her choice saying that if it gave Ruby the closure she needed. Eventually Yang accepted it on Ruby's 10th birthday.

"And then Jaune blushed really bad again heheh I actually think the girl was scared of him… But don't get it wrong Jaune's just awkward like me so you don't need to worry mom. He's super strong, reliable and nice and handsome… Epp, Nevermind that last one!" Yang chuckled at her sister flustered face, it was adorable, but also kinda awkward that Rubes still had a crush on Jaune.

"I still miss you…" Ruby slowly lifted herself up.

"But I know that we all do. Plus, as long as I have Yang and Jaune I'll be fine." The teen let out a bright smile that warmed her heart to see.

Dammit maybe Jaune was right.

"Well I have to go home I'm sure dad and uncle Qrow will be waiting there for me and sis. Heheh I wonder how big of a cake Jaune made? He's been trying real hard to bake as good as you." Slowly Ruby walked away from the tombstone going to the forest Yang looked to the grave and stepped up to it.

"Hey, Sum-" Yang shook her head before looking back to the grave.

"I mean mom, I just wanted to say not to worry me, Ruby and Jaune are okay… We're not weak anymore." Memories of that day in the wood flashed through her mind.

"Well me and Ruby aren't weak anymore Jaune even stronger now." She scratched the back of her head feeling awkward she knew their mother wasn't here. She might as well be talking to herself.

"Man this seems stupid… Ruby was right you know, we miss you, all of us. Me and Jaune are a lot stronger now, and Jaune's using that sword you left behind. seriously mom couldn't you have left him something better. Heheh… I… thankyou, thankyou for being my mother, I was so mad when I found out but now I'm just glad. Glad you treated me no different than Ruby, that you loved me and Jaune like your own even when our own mom didn't want us." She reminisced on those earlier days with Summer each making her smile.

"I… love you mom. I don't think I said that nearly enough. Heh you next Year me and Jaune are gonna go to Beacon, We'll become huntsman like you. Jaune insist on using that shabby sword though but that's fine cause I'll have his back."

"Yang!" Hearing her sister whine she turned realizing Ruby was already far in the wood.

"Crap! Well mom I gotta go… bye." Yang turned away to the forest.

~You've grown so big… my little drop of Sunflower~

Yang froze quickly turning she saw nothing but the blowing wind that pushed a bright red petal gently on her forehead like when their mom would kiss them goodnight. A tear ran down the brawler's face.

You may not have been my birth mother, but you were my real mom.

Turning once more the brawler ran to her sister's side.

-30 Minutes Later-

Ruby and Yang walked through the forest each paying attention for grimm. Yang knew something was wrong, usually she'd just chalk it up to her baby sister being a bit melancholy after visiting Summer but somehow, she knew that wasn't it.

"Hey Ruby?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna tell me what's been bugging you?" Ignoring her big sister Ruby turned away from her.

"I don't know what you mean."

"Rubes, come on, tell me?" The little girl looked down nervously before finally letting out a breath.

"I'm worried about Jaune's weapon." Yang rose an eyebrow.

"His, Weapon? Care to expand on that sis?"

"It, well… After next year you and Jaune are heading to Beacon right?" Yang shrugged.

"Well that's the plan at least, why?"

"Well… it's just that you have Ember Celica, with those you can kill Grimm close range or far away. Uncle Qrow has a scythe, sword and rifle even dad keep a gun for far range… But Jaune just has a sword."

"Rubes…"

"What if a Nevermore or Lancers attack? They can do it from far range, Jaune won't even be able to attack them. Or worse what if its something like a Beringel, Jaune might be strong but there's no way he can over power one! He'll need high impact rounds."

"Ruby."

"Against something like a Deathstalker he'll be absolutely defenseless against its carapace! Even Jaune's fighting style is bad against Grimm its geared more towards human combat!"

"Sis!" Yang grabbed her little sister by both shoulders looking her dead in the eyes.

"He'll be fine. Jaunes strong and besides your gonna help him upgrade the sheath right?" Ruby looked down.

"Of course."

"Well then there, nothing to worry about, Jaune will be just fine after all he promised he'd protect us remember? He can't do that if he's weaker than me." Yang smiled while Ruby slowly nodded her head.

"Come on sis cheer up, Jaune will be just fine. I'll have his back and in two years so will you." Ruby seemed to perk up at that nodding.

"Yeah Jaune promised mom he would protect us." Ruby rose a hand to her sister which the buxom brawler high fived.

"And we promised we'd protect him."

"Right! When I get home I'm upgrading Crocea Mors pronto!"

-Taiyang's House-

Ruby and Yang entered to see a cheer filled father and only slightly tipsy Uncle cheer Ruby a happy birthday. Sitting in the kitchen were three presents and a cake.

"Wow!" Ruby smiled rushing to the table to cut a huge slice of cake, before she looked to her presents and noticed something.

"Why didn't Jaune get me anything?" Hearing this Yang stepped up checking the presents and letting the slightest hint of red radiate in her eyes.

"Hey yeah. Also, where is he, bastard didn't even wish Ruby a happy birthday." Turning to her father Tai smiled pointing to the kitchen. In a now slightly bad mood Yang made her way to the kitchen ready to giver her twin a piece of her mind, while Ruby followed trying to stop her. Upon entering she found her target donning an apron as he cooked and found herself and Ruby freezing at a certain smell. Noticing the two Jaune smiled.

"Hey." Jaune turned, in his hand was a plate of cookies, Both Ruby and Yang couldn't turn away. Jaune slowly made his way to the two and smiled to Ruby taking a single cookie and pushing it into her mouth.

"Here Ruby try it." His little sister froze for a second before she begun to chew after which her eyes widened, and she begun to tremble.

"These are…" Jaune patted her head and smiled.

"Yeah, their mom's recipe. I've been trying to get them just right for today." Ruby looked up to her big brother greeted by his smile.

"Happy birthday sis." Ruby begun to tear up both shocking and scaring Jaune.

"Wha? Ruby what's wrong? Did I do something wrong! I knew I hadn't gotten them right! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Jaune begun to pull at his head in frustration only to abruptly stop as said sister tackled into him. Yang barely managed to save the plate before trying a cookie herself and freezing as she looked to it.

"They taste just like moms."

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" Jaune looked as the little brunette rubbed her face into his chest happy tears staining her face and his hoodie. He smiled gently stroking her head.

"There, there, heheh glad you liked them so much."

Well guess I'll have to do this every year now. But, for that smile it'd definitely be worth it.

Jaune patted her head smiling to her.

"Okay then, let's get changed, can't trick-or-treat in our usual clothes after all." Ruby nodded happily still clung to her big brother, feeling all his muscles and heat. Slowly her face begun to red before she jumped back blushing.

"R-right! Let's go!"

He's only half my brother so its only half bad to like him!

Ruby remembered something quickly grabbing up her brother's sword and rushing away with it.

"Wha? Ruby?!"

"I'll give it back to you on your Birthday!"

"Ruby I can't go without my weapon! All you need is the sheath anyways right? Give it back!"

"Nope!" With that said girl slammed her door, hot on her heel Jaune had no intention of letting her have her way. He knew she'd already take half his candy today under her birthday clause and puppy dog eyes. Without thinking Jaune forced the door open only to pause when he saw his little sister staring back at him in only a pair of pink strawberry pattern underwear, holding her costume in hand.

Both stared at one another for several minutes however the second Ruby's face went as pink as her panties he acted rushing forward covering her mouth. Raising his index to his mouth he gestured for her to not make their family come running.

"Shh! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were changing." His face burned, he couldn't help it, even if she was his sister he was a healthy boy and Ruby was… 'surprisingly developed'. Red face from the disgusting thought he panicked.

"Please keep quiet about this, if you do I'll give you all my candy and do anything you ask, I swear." Ruby blinked the pink slightly leaving her cheeks before she nodded, relieved Jaune pulled away his hand. He sighed when Ruby didn't immediately yell but instead covered herself bringing her costume close to her chest to hide her form, nervous Jaune looked away his face a red mess.

"Anything?" He blinked looking to her and meeting pleading silver.

"You'll do anything? Really, your word?" He nodded.

"You know I keep my promises." Ruby nodded to herself face seeming to burn brighter and she set her mind to something and looked up to him, nervous azure meeting embarrassed but determined silver pools. She swallowed, her fist clenched as the tiny girl gathered her courage.

"Then, then… Ki-Ki…"

"Ki?" Ruby shook at his curious tone her eyes corner's tearing up.

"A K-Ki… Kis-" Jaune leaned close to her better but for some reason him being so close only made the young girl grow more nervous.

"Come on Rubes just tell me what you want." For several more moments she struggled to speak her head practically steaming.

"K-K…" Jaune tilted his head leaning in close to calm her unaware it had the opposite effect.

"K?" Finally face to face mind working at Mach ten she shouted.

"Karaoke!"

"Karaoke?" Feeling like an idiot she decided to roll with it to not be further embarrassed.

"Y-yep, that's what I want. To go and do some Karaoke!" Jaune shrugged suppose he was getting off rather lightly, his sis probably understanding it wasn't that big a deal.

"Sure I don't mind taking you, the two of us will hit up this one place Yang is always going with her friends, we'll make a day out of it." Ruby nodded before pausing.

"Two of us?" Jaune nodded.

"Yeah."

"So, not Yang too?" Jaune blinked.

"Oh, you wanna take sis along, I don't mind but I kinda figured you were gonna drag me to visit some weapon shops on the way there and I don't think Yang has the patience for that jazz." The world stopped as she looked to Jaune in her mind a chibi version of her dancing like a total idiot.

"If you want I can convince her to come, you probably won't get to visit any dust or weapon shops thoug-"

"No!" Jaune flinched at the sudden roar from his precious lil sis.

"I mean, Um, Oh yeah her birthday!"

"You mean Yang's?" Ruby nodded.

"Yep, I need to find something to get her, we already know what I'm getting you so that just leaves Yang! Yep, just Yang so we should… go together… alone." Ignoring Ruby's blush Jaune nodded liking the plan.

"Yeah, been drawing a blank on Yang's birthday myself so it'll probably do us some good to go together. Besides its been a while since we've hung out just the two of us outside your CQC training." Ruby groaned.

"Why can't we just stop that! I kick butt just fine with my weapon prototype and will be even better when Crescent Rose is done!" Jaune laughed before rubbing her head earning a adorable pout.

"Cause without you weapon your about as menacing as a puppy. And while your adorableness can stop me and sis I have an inkling bad guys and the Grimm won't be as inclined."

Adorable…

Ruby looked down dejectedly as she made a show of kicking her feet.

"I'm not adorable…" The way his big brother instincts kicked in at the sight of her said otherwise.

"I'm 15, I'm an adult like you and Yang. I drink milk and everything." Jaune chuckled to himself but her slumped shoulders made him stop. He readied to look her in the face only for the costume to shift giving him a rather full view of her pale leg. Suddenly realization hit reminding him that Ruby was in little more than her underwear. With a cough he turned around surprising her.

"I suppose you have grown up… in all the right places, I mean! Nothing Nevermind! Anyways get dressed quick before you give me a heart attack!" Before she could even speak Jaune went running his face cherry red. Ruby on the other hand blinked before looking down and recalling the reason why Jaune had conceded to her before blushing rushing to her closet to hide.

Maybe it was to hide her shame, or to change without any possible interruptions or maybe, just maybe it was to cheer like the giddy school girl she was that she could make her brother react in a very not brotherly way to her.

Yang was Jaune's twin sister, this was a fact their parents had barreled into their head's countless times, and when looking at pictures of their mother it certainly added up. Yang took after their mom, her eyes color a blend of theirs. He on the other hand took after his father, however that was where any signs that the two blondes were related ended. Yang was a genius at combat, Jaune, Jaune was too stubborn to quit, Yang was a social butterfly, Jaune was a blonder less adorable Ruby.

However, their biggest difference lied in one facet alone… Yang wanted to find their mom. Bumblebee finally stopped and as soon as the motorcycle did Jaune leaped off kissing the ground beneath. Yang got of her ride walking behind Jaune giving him a reassuring pat on the back, the younger of the two she may be but she had a soft spot for her siblings.

"You okay Jaune?" Said blonde nodded stomach finally righting as he focused on the meditation their father had taught them.

"Y-Yeah, think I'll be fine." Yang nodded.

"Good, lets get a move on." Jaune nodded her way before looking down to his outfit a black compress as his top showing off his toned pecs and abs. Gone were his good old chest plate and spaulders as he donned the torn blue jeans his sister assured looked good on him and finally plain dress shoes. The only odd thing in place was Crocea Mors strapped to his back in a larger reddish cold sheath.

"Why couldn't I just come here in my usual clothes?" Yang rolled her eyes.

"Cause your hanging out with me duh." Playfully she slugged his shoulder only to hit a boosted barrier and pull back her fist a bit pained from the blow.

"Y'ow! Seriously your gonna use your semblance on little old me bro?" Jaune smirked.

"Your fault, you're the one who wanted to come here and meet an info broker. Gotta keep my guard up."

"Come on I'm sure it won't be that bad, we wave a bit of lien in his face, he spills the beans on mo-"

"Raven…" His tone was clipped and eyes hard making his twin wince.

"'cough' Raven and then were out of here, easy peasy. What could go wrong?" Jaune looked to her deadpanning.

"This is you we're talking about."

"What's that supposed to mean." Jaune rolled his eyes.

"It's means sister dear, that despite being the most socially inclined out of the three of us siblings somehow you're the only one who leave any argument with the other party, either beat up or on fire. Most of the time both." Yang crossed her arms.

"Your overexaggerating." Jaune sighed shaking his head.

"No I'm really not and that's the sad part." With that thought Jaune popped his neck.

"That's why I'm here to act as the voice of reason." Yang grumbled.

"I could handle this alone." However, she paused when she felt a hand patting her head, more specifically her hair. Anyone else she'd had throttled for attempting such a thing but Jaune was the sole exception. Looking his way woth a slight pout he smiled.

"You probably could, but I'd rather you not have to deal with it alone, besides I got your back." Yang looked away annoyed.

"Until I head off to Beacon." With that she moved forward content with ignoring him, he sighed figuring that was coming up. He'd have to do something extra nice to get off his sister's bad side for his decision, but he could think of that later. Stepping forward he followed Yang into the establishment before them a simple club, known as… the Club. There was a pun in there somewhere, but thankfully only Yang inherited that particularly heinous trait from their father.

The moment his sister forced open the door the flood of light and music hit him, a remix of Mirror Mirror played in the background. He smiled noting he'd have to download this version, turning to speak to his sister he froze at see nobody to his side.

Oh no…

Jaune loved his sisters, he really did but there was a rule to each he'd religiously follow, Never leave Ruby unattended around sweets and never, Never Leave Yang alone when it come to Raven. Quickly looking around he couldn't find the blonde brawler among the crowd.

"Oh this is bad, so, so bad!" Two individuals stepped up towards the blonde gripping his skull.

"Hey there hot stuff." Jaune turned to see a very pretty girl in all white, he swallowed already feeling his foot in his mouth as the prettiest shade of Jade looked into his azure orbs. from behind another voice spoke finger's faintly tracing his back's muscles slowing to really feel them.

"Haven't seen you around here before." A foot in his mouth turned into his brain frying before the two beauties as red and white filled his vision.

"What's wrong cat got your tongue?"

Cat no, sexy pair of twins? Very much.

The red clad girl leaned in close making him step back shy as a bell.

"Aw, what's wrong a bit tongue tied are we?" Frankly Jaune was just amazed he could nod to the statement. Seeing it the white clad girl giggled.

"Well aren't you shy, makes me want to eat you up." A shuddering breath left him at that and judging by their pleased smirks they quite enjoyed his reaction.

"Well, well looks like we got a cherry boy Melanie." The white clad girl nodded.

"Seems so Miltia." Both circled him enjoying teasing the blonde goof, slowly their swaying struts around him became more fluid as Red Like Roses begun to play, both girls begun to sway their hips drawing his nervous gaze. Reaching out Melanie traced his jawline a smile on her face.

"Come on Blondie, lets dance, lets see if you can work those hips." Jaune blushed.

"The poor goof probably doesn't know how to dance, the shy ones never do." Jaune stilled looking to the red clad twin and her teasing smile, usually Jaune would get tongue tied around a pretty girl, let alone two. Usually he'd go home head slumped feeling a bit depressed over being humbled, but that changed when someone challenged him, after all, he was a Xiao-Long.

Without hesitation the blonde begun to move, surprising the white clad twin when he took the hand along his face and pulled her close. She blinked twice as his body begun to move holding her close as he did. He was sure she was use to the playing old tweaking, popping and locking or god forgive them attempting to grind and spank the partners like other teens his age would but Jaune would have none of that.

A hand lowered to her waist as he lead her, the dance wasn't anything formal or complex a club was hardly the scene for such. Instead he shifted, swayed and lead her like a pro, Summer had taught him more than just how to bake and even after she'd passed he continued practice. Slowly Melanie begun to close in her eyes excited as his palms ran up her sides, she pressed forward into him but was interrupted when the boy pulled away leaving her confused as he closed in on her sister pulling her into a dance.

Melanie blinked as she watched the blonde bring Miltia into his arms said sister seeming just as shocked as she but not at all resistant to the action pressing her leg into him as she bit her lip.

Did, did I just get cucked?

Deciding she in fact did not like blondie turning the tables on her the white clad twin closed in on him interrupting the two. She expected the blonde to pause and look to her confused as she stomped in, instead he swerved turning her way taking her waist guiding her in with a small lift into the air.

Both girls looked to one another a silent exchange taking place as they decided to show the blonde surprise that they were the top dogs here and not him. However, despite their superior numbers and skills they found the blonde just too good, outshining and incorporating them into his fluid movements.

Feeling his calloused fingers trace their waist or strong arms guide or pull them into delicious chiseled pecs and abs they couldn't help but take the extra effort to feel. The crowd watched as the three went at one another. As both girls pressed, felt and ground against one another.

Everything came to a head when the song ended leaving a pair of winded girls and a slightly breathed Jaune. Both stared at him lost for words as he smiled to them.

"That was fun, you two are even better at dancing then Yang." Both girls cheeks pinked, blondie had some moves they at least had to give him that and experience had taught them that dancing usually transferred to much funner activities. Seeming to come off his adrenaline high said blonde begun to flush realizing how much of the two girl's he had felt. Seeing him go beet red the two smiled, it didn't take a keen eye to spot a virgin and right now blondie practically had a sign over him. Deciding on what they wanted the two nodded, needing to know who exactly this Yang was.

"Yang? That the blonde you came in with?" Jaune smiled with a nod.

"Yep my twin, though I think she was the real winner there."

"That's good, so then…" A finger ran up his chest till under his chin and directing him to their twin pair of emerald orbs.

"So your single, guess we don't have to worry about convincing you then."

"Wh-wha?"

"Do you want us to spell it out for you?" She leaned forward into the blonde, readying to snatch him up, however just before they could snare their trap a man was launched into a pillar shattering the glass. Turning to him the two realized it was in fact their boss.

"Oh Shit!"

"Hei!" Both girls went running for him all the while a certain blonde was content merely standing still like an idiot. Finally, though he snapped out of his dumbstruck state when he saw a certain sister of his leap up in the air arm pulled back before slamming down into the dance floor.

Fuck!

Yang smiled as she landed a heavy right hook into the rushing goons face. With that she smirked, today was fun, sure she hadn't gotten the info she wanted but hey, she was a glass half full kind of girl. She then heard gunfire and when she looked up she saw the DJ unloading a rifle on her, rushing she launched herself into the bear boy slamming him and sending him flying curtesy of Ember Celica. However when she turned she was met by a pair of hill valley looking girls looking up at her arms crossed less then impressed.

Yang took offense to that, and threw her ammo in the air making a show out of reloading her weapons before she leaped forward. However to hers and the pair of girl's surprises a form came barreling forward burning white and slamming into her. When the white dimmed it was to reveal a shield, tanking her blow a burning rose at its center, she looked up then annoyed to meet her brother's hardened stare.

"Jaune the hell are you doing?" Jaune gritted his teeth, his aura flashing blinding the blonde brawler, it was only for a moment that she winced at the sight but it was only a moment he needed. Quickly he reached out taking his sister's arm pulling her towards him into a standing Armlock.

"I should be the one asking that? The hell made you decide it was a good idea to attack a info broker?"

"He didn't want to talk. Seriously bro let me go." She knew hitting him would be a waste of effort Jaune could boost his auric barrier fifty fold, nothing her fist could get past unless she'd already powered up her semblance from a hell of a blast. Jaune slapped his face before abruptly hoisting his sister over his shoulder and making way for the exit.

"Yang do you have any idea what you've done?" Now free she readied to leap back into action but Jaunes had her beat in pure strength leaving her to struggle as he ran for it.

"Hey, what are you doing, these chumps got nothing on me, let alone the both of us."

"That's so not the problem here! Do you really think a info broker fights with strength! Or that you can get into a brawl like this just before hitting Beacon! Come on sis think a little, you just assaulted a man who can figure out who our family are and could give our address out!" Yang paused.

"I, I didn't even consider that."

"Yeah, I figured as much, but seriously even without that who just attacks a establishment filled with civilians like that, for Oum sake sis what if one of those guys don't have aura!?" Yang was thoroughly stunned realizing none of that had come through her mind once, only the thought of how Hei might have been holding info about her mom from her. She swallowed realizing she might have done it again, putting her family at risk. She gritted her teeth as Jaune burst through the door rushing for Bumblebee and throwing her on it.

"Well come on, get a move on." Yang stilled looking over at him.

"What?" Jaune sighed.

"Get going, I handle this while you get away."

"Hell no!" Yang just about leaped off her bike.

"I'm not leaving you to deal with my mess." Jaune folded his arms sending her a stern glare rare but powerful.

"That wasn't a suggestion, beside how would you even go about fixing this mess. It won't exactly seem sincere if you walk back in there and apologize for wrecking their place." Jaune popped his neck a slight pink of his cheek appearing.

"Besides I sorta have a decent relationship with Melanie and Miltia, so I might have a shot at setting everything. If not I'm gonna have to tell dad and our drunkle Qrow and they can probably handle it, nobody wants to deal with two veteran hunters let alone pair teachers from Signal. Anyways you being here will only cause trouble." Yang gritted her teeth frustrated; she'd fucked up. Before she could really get into self-mockery Jaune patted her head a smile on his face.

"Come on leave it to your big bro, I got this." She looked down before nodding.

"You better not get hurt." In her mind she saw him in the bed again that huge bite mark bloody and horrid. But looking to his smile she felt a smidge relieved.

"Don't worry, even if things fall through I can handle myself or shield myself and make a run for it as long as they don't have a rocket or anything." Despite herself she trusted him and went back to her motorcycle sending him one final glare.

"You better be okay, got it." Jaune shrugged.

"I promise." Yang sighed hating how much hearing him give his word relieved her.

"You better." She smirked then.

"After all you have a date with our lil sis." Jaune sighed hating his pinkening cheeks.

"Come on Yang don't say stuff like that otherwise people might get confused." Yang sighed.

"Seriously, you need to get a clue otherwise Rubes 'condition' is just gonna get worse." Ignorant as always Jaune tilted his head and like every other time she wouldn't be explaining or telling him how their little sister felt.

Seriously a dense twin and a BroCon for a little sister.

Jaune turned to the club readying to head back and with that the brawler clicked her tongue.

Dammit I went and did it again.

Thankfully it wouldn't cost Jaune this time for what little comfort it afforded her.

Turning she went off trusting her brother to fix her mistake as much as it pissed her off. Jaune watched her go making sure she wasn't just putting on a act and would show up fist blazing out of thin air. After feeling confident she was gone he sighed turning back to the club only to find a very familiar sister of his standing there.

"Ruby?" Turning to him the two looked to one another.

"Jaune what are you doing here?"

"'sigh' Yang." Ruby nodded at that the name all but explaining the situation.

"Can I help." Jaune readied to deny her but paused, Ruby was a tough little cookie and besides he was only partially kidding when he said her adorableness could be weaponized.

"Depends you gonna attack people at random." Ruby deadpanned.

"Is that what she did?" HE sighed nodding.

"More or less, about to try straightening it out. If you wanna come play moral support their a free meal in it for you."

"I want burgers and cookie!"

"Deal, we'll make a date of it." stretching out his hand she took it her face burning at his wording, however before she could really enjoy their hands touching he pulled away.

"Well sis, lets go." She looked at him for several seconds before pouting to herself.

"Dummy."


So through a Pm from someone who preferred not to be named I got an idea he wanted me to write a lemon chapter involving our favourite cookie lover and this version of Jaune. I think I'll call it Jaune Xiao-Long: Beyond Familial. Just a warning whenever you end up seeing that posted.

Also I hope Jaune doesn't come off as too out of character its just unlike cannon Jaune this one has confidence. When fighting or challenged he tends to be more aggressive and flirty thanks in part to yang influencing him.

Next chapter will probably involve Jaune and Ruby on a 'date' to a certain dust store...
