MIDNIGHT

OUTSIDE BEACON

"So you two are a thing. should've known." The monkey Faunus says.

"Sun, don't beat yourself up, I just happen to have history with Blake." James responds. Blake just shakes her head while Sun looks a little relieved. It takes awhile but they finally reach Vale. Once there, Sun leafs them to his temporary residence. "Thank you for helping us Sun."

"Anytime man, just why did you come?"

"Blake needed someone she trusted and since I happen to be her boyfriend... yeah." James responds. Sun nods in understanding.

"I would have done the same thing."

"Anyone would."

"So... what happened?"

"She revealed something she didn't want to."

"Is it White Fang related?"

"Sun... it's a very long story."

"Oh I bet it is."

"That we'll tell you later"

"Oh, could've just said that." Sun replies. It takes some time but they finally fall asleep. The next morning Sun wakes up alone. Going up to the roof he sees Blake leaning on James looking at the sunrise. "Sooo, who wants breakfast?" Sun asks. At that they both shoot up, turn around and nod yes. Sun leads them to a Faunus cafe named Theta Faunus cafe. Sun orders fruit, Blake orders breaded tuna, and James orders raw steak. Sun almost vomits at the notion of raw meat, but passes it off as a Faunus craving.

James decides to mess with Sun. "Hey Sun, what do you look for in a girl?" At this Sun almost spews out his food. Blake ignores the exchange and continues to munch on her to tuna.

"Ummm, they have to be faunus and-"

"Relax I'm just joking with you."

"...oh." Sun replies. Blake motions James over and says she needs some books. When James and Blake get up and start to leave, Sun tags along with them. She leads them to her favorite book store, Tuckson's Book Trade. As she enters Tuckson greets them

"Welcome to Tuckson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun," he says. "What can I help you with?"

"She needs some books and pronto." James replies. Blake pulls out a list and hands it to him. Tuckson whistles at the list.

"You're in luck, I have just one copy of each left." Tuckson says as he goes into the back. He comes back out with a stack of ten books. "That'll be $95.64." Tuckson says. James grimaces and pulls out his card handing it to Tuckson. It gets swiped and the transaction is completed. Blake smiles, making James carry the books back to Sun's place.

"Blake warn me next ti-" James gets cut off as Blake kisses him while Sun isn't looking. After that he goes to his new favorite cafe, Theta Faunus cafe to get lunch.

BACK AT BEACON

Jon paces while Viola and Nick talk search plans.

"Why did James even leave with Blake in the first place?" Yang asks.

"Isn't it obvious? They were in the White Fang together!" Weiss replies.

"Even so, he stated and proved that he left them behind." Yang retorts.

"Cousin, thanks to you our team leader is missing." Viola yells at Weiss.

"Uhh, guys I found him." Jon says timidly.

"WHERE?!" Everyone shouts.

"At Tuckson's Book Trade."He replies.

Jon... how did you do this?" Nick asks.

"James asked me to put a security measure on his card and it sends all purchases to his scroll."

"How much time has passed since the purchase?"

"Ten minutes."

"He just made a purchase at Theta Faunus cafe."

WHITE FANG HEADQUARTERS

"Adam, I have located the pariah."

"Where."

"Theta Faunus cafe, permission to engage."

THETA FAUNUS CAFE

"Permission granted, bring me Raycaster and his head." Adam orders. The White Fang commando puts on his mask and enters the café. He sneaks up on James, but his hearing picks up on the guy sneaking up behind him. James does a roundhouse kick and sends the commando through the window. The commando gets up and pulls out a wicked looking knife as James charges with Raycaster in sword forme. They duel for a few minutes until James stabs him through the chest. The guy drops dead, James picks up his take out and leaves. He goes a few blocks before running into Blake and Sun.

"We got worried about you, so we went to find you." Sun explains. James than fills them in on what happened. Blake narrows her eyes while Sun looks shocked. He hurriedly brings them to his place to hide.

"Sun here's your fruit, Blake I got you a variety of fish, and got myself some raw steak." James said as he brings out the food. Sun eats upside down, making it look easy, Blake widens her eyes before starting to chow down on some salmon, and James relaxes on the couch reading Weapon Technical Weekly and Semblanceology Digest while eating a raw steak. The day rolls by quickly, and before they know it they've fallen asleep. The next day James wakes up and finds Blake cuddling up to him, nibbling on his right shoulder. "Blake wake up, I am not a chew toy." He says. She shoots up like nothing happened and kisses him gently. They get out of bed, get dressed, and join Sun on the veranda.

"So the lovebirds are finally awake. Sit, I've got everyone's favorite breakfast ready." Sun greets them. They sit down and talk a bit. Sun is surprised when Blake speaks again since she decided to not speak for a while. Afterwards they walk down the street as Sun pitches the idea of doing a stakeout at the docks. The two lovers agree and everyone spends the day getting ready. Finally the time comes and they jump from rooftop to rooftop until they reach the docks. James hands out a earpiece mike set, and goes to watch another part of the docks as Sun goes to get food.

"Hey, I just stole some apples. Want one?" Sun asks

"Do you always steal without a second thought?"

"Weren't you in a terrorist organization?" Sun retorts.

Silence falls over the comm line.

"Not cool bro, not cool."

"Quiet, here comes an airship." Blake orders. The VTOL descends and several White Fang members jump out. Than a man jumps out with a white jacket and orange hair jumps out. "The White Fang would never take orders from a human." Blake says as she jumps down. James also jumps down to cover Blake in case things go wrong. "Brothers of the White Fang, why are you siding this scum?!" He hears Blake asks. They lower their weapons while James waits. The guy somehow gets Blake in front of him and James takes out the members behind her. Sun and Blake fight the baddie as James holds the White Fang off. Soon the guy escapes and teams RWBY and JJVN show up with the police.

"James why the hell did you disappear?!"

"Blake needed me."

"Speaking of Blake," Weiss says, turning to her. "Do you know how long we've been looking for you? Twelve hours!"

"I-I thought you guys were mad at me."

"You said your not one of them anymore."

"I haven't been since-"

"Shhh, I don't want to hear it. Just next time come to your teammates and not someone else." Weiss says looking at Sun and James.

Blake thanks Sun and he disappears. She than turns to James and hug as him. "I am so sorry for dragging you with me.

"Blake, don't worry about it."

INTERROGATION ROOM

BEACON ACADEMY

"James, you have indeed changed. Not many people are willing to give up their future to help someone in need." Ozpin says.

"I love Blake and would do anything for her." James replies.

"I have need of such dedication."

"For what headmaster?"

"What's your favorite fairy tale?"

"The myth of the silver eyed warriors." James says as Qrow walks in.

"We need you to find us a suitable candidate for the fall maiden." Qrow replies bluntly.

"I'll do my best. I won't let you down."

"Come to us when you have a single candidate left." Ozpin says as he leaves with Qrow.

IN VALE

"You requested me?"

"The time has come, execute phase two."

"It will be done Salem." Cinder replies as she watches the airships come back from the mission.

(A/N: And thus I conclude season one. There will be three chapters before I start on season two. That will take extra time to start, so expect chapter five next month at the earliest.)
