A/N: Sorry to keep you waiting guys. here's chapter 8.
Enjoy!
Blake sprinted along the pathway, frantically looking around everywhere to try and find the small dog. It wasn't on the ground below their window so it was still alive and went somewhere. He couldn't have gone far.
She was still upset she did a reaction kick like that to the small dog. But in her defense, she had no idea Ruby, Yang, or Weiss brought their dog to Beacon and hide it in the dorm. Why did they even hide it?
Blake was so in her search that she didn't see Coco and Velvet until she crashed into them and fell down. "Oh my god, sorry!" Velvet apologized.
"No, its ok," Blake replied as she helped the fellow faunus up. "Hey, have you guys seen a little dog around here?"
"About this high with yellow fur?" Coco asked as she held her hand about a foot off the ground.
"Yes! You've seen him?! Where is he?!" Blake asked in relief.
Velvet shared a worried, awkward glance with Coco. "Uh…. hehe, funny story about tha-"
"I shot him and he ran away!" Coco cried out.
Blake's ears twitched as if they couldn't believe what they just heard. "You did what?!"
"I thought it was a Grimm!"
"How the hell did you think something like that looked even remotely like a Grimm!" cried the girl who not even an hour ago kicked the puppy out a third story window.
"It bit Velvet!"
"That-"
"It was in a bush so I couldn't see until I shot it away!"
"Gah!" Blake screamed as she pulled her hair. This whole day was just a mess. "Do you know which way it went?!"
"Around in this direction," Velvet pointed, and the three of them took off in that direction to search for the little puppy. They hoped he was ok.
The door to team RWBY's dorm slammed open.
"Honestly, the absolute nerve of some people!" Weiss growled loudly, but then the dirt and leaf covered little puppy in her arms stirred with a whimper. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be loud and scare you," she cooed softly.
"I'll get the water running," Ruby announced as she ran into the bathroom.
"But honestly, who would leave something as cute as you all alone, dirty and afraid like that?" Weiss started stroking his head. "Don't worry little guy. We'll get you all cleaned up, and then mama is going to find the neglectful owner who abandoned you, and then she's going to take Myrtenaster and-"
"Bath's ready!" Ruby called.
"Let's get you cleaned up first," Weiss cooed as the brought the little dog to the bathroom.
Glynda Goodwitch and Ozpin walked down the hallway side by side. They were discussing upcoming events, class schedules, and how one another were doing in general. But then their conversation was interrupted when Blake, Coco, and velvet came sprinting down the hallway.
"*gasp* Professor Goodwitch, Ozpin, oh thank goodness," Blake cheered before Glynda could chastise them for running in the hall. "Have either of you two seen a little blonde puppy anywhere? We're trying to find him."
Glynda knew instantly that they were talking about Jaune. She and Ozpin saw Weiss and Ruby carrying him just a few minutes ago. She opened her mouth to tell them that, but Ozpin beat her to it.
"Nope. Sorry, but Glynda and I have not seen any dogs on campus today. I'm sorry," Ozpin said. The girls moped and quickly took off searching, not noticing Glynda's glare at the headmaster.
"Ozpin, you know we saw him earlier. Why did you tell them that we didn't?"
"It would have spoiled the fun," Ozpin replied with a smirk. Glynda facepalmed so hard she would have concussed herself without her aura.
"Such a good boy," Weiss cooed as she massaged behind the happily panting puppy's ears.
"And well behaved too," Ruby added. "I'm surprised he didn't splash water around everywhere like Zwei does."
"Zwei?"
"He's our dog we have at home. He's a little troublemaker sometimes, but he's a good boy."
"Really?" Weiss beamed up.
"Yep. You should see him in a fight. I once shot him with fire dust at a Grimm! He was like a giant explosive cannonball! It was so awesome!"
"That's… neat," Weiss put her arms around the puppy in a protective manner.
The door opened and in walked a tired looking Blake.
"Hey Blake, look at what we found today," Ruby cheered.
"Found..." Blake stood straight and wide-eyed at the dog within Weiss's arms.
"Yep, we found him earlier today and cleaned him up. Isn't he cute?"
"Yes… cute," Blake replied slowly. The dog regarded her for only a second before going back to enjoying Weiss's hands. Blake was happy that the dog was ok, but she was also confused. They said they found it earlier today. If it wasn't theirs, then whose is it and how did it get in their dorm room?!
"What's wrong Blake?" Weiss asked.
"I'm... not really a dog person," Blake said truthfully.
As the girls continued to talk, Jaune was having a dilemma. As much as he enjoyed the love and attention from Weiss, he had to leave. He transformed when he was asleep and the afternoon hours were ticking away fast. He had to leave before he transformed back and made everything awkward.
He decided to enact escape plan C. He wiggled his ears and jumped down and up to the window, and just stared at something random off in the distance.
"What's wrong boy?" Weiss asked.
"You ok?" asked Ruby. "You see something?"
Jaune barked twice, looked at them, and then barked out the window again before running out the door as quickly as he could.
"Wait no, come back!" Weiss shouted, but Jaune was long gone. He managed to lose them by running and hide in a janitor's closet. He heard them run past the door and he felt bad about how worried that sounded, but he really didn't want anyone to know about this. He would find a way to make it up to them.
He turned back into a human just under an half an hour later and managed to slip back in his dorm with no one the wiser.
A/N: As much as I wanted Jaune to turn back as he was getting the bath, it didn't fit. Plus i have another idea in mind for everyone to find Jaune's secret... could happen next chapter.
Thanks for reading, have a great day :)
