Hello my ever lovely peeps!

Oh boy, been nearly a year or so since i looked at this one. This one is going to be short, as this chapter and the next one will be a bit short, as i actually yanked it off the old story, the old chapter and made some tweaks to it, like i did to ATBSC. I believe these chapters we're pretty good and since i just can't find my muse for this, i decide to go back and re-write some old muse.

Hey, it's better then nothing ya?

So the next chapter will be similar to this, as i did yank it off the old one and like this, will need some tweaks and a little rewriting done to it, to make it improved. So as always i don't own RWBY nor Claymore.

So please read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"

Chapter 4: An Unexpected Reunion

Jaune was sitting on a train, heading toward the city of Argus were his sister, Saphron lived with her wife Terra and their son and his nephew, Adrian. Many people were looking at him but he ignored them all. It wasn't the first time he'd been stared at, back when he was Teresa, he got plenty of stares, usual filled with fear and hate. So the fact they weren't staring at him with simple curiosity was a welcome change.

Why were they staring you ask?

Well, it's not every day you see a young man wearing a skin tight gray two piece body suit with metal armor on his shoulders, feet, wrist and a black choker with a symbol of a 'T' with two lines going down it. To complete his look, he had a gray cape with a giant claymore sword on his back held in it's sheath. It too had the same symbol on his neck, engraved on the base of the halt. He had tied his still wavy pale blonde hair into a pony tail, but his hair was still parted out of the way of his forehead and silver eyes.

The former number 1 was looking out the window, staring into the endless white of the snow, deep in thought. What did he do now?

Make no mistake, he knew he had to stop Cinder's plans, but that wasn't the problem. Oh no, the problem was this:

How did he processed?

He would admit, Cinder had a very good plan. Use Roman Torchwick and the white fang to not only steal dust but dived attention away form herself and her subordinate's, but if by some chance they were caught, everything could be blamed on them. Cinder fall was nobody, just another face in the crowd while Roman Torchwick was Vale's best master thief. It was a no brainer who was guilty.

No matter how wrong they were.

Anyway, Cinder was not only making Roman play by her tune, but Adam Taurus a well know, POWERFUL terrorist, who hated human with a passion and would rather tear off his own arm then work with a human, was. That should tell you just what kind of power the maiden's have. Even a half a maiden. Not to mention just how skilled she is, to take down the previous Fall Maiden. Even if in his opinion, Cinder was nothing more then a parasite, sucking the lives out of others or using them to survive.

Never the less, with his decade's of experience, his yoma power, and of course his aura, he was more then confident with all these things, he could take on anything Cinder, Salem or remnant would throw at him. An interesting fact, after coming back to Remnant, Jaune found out he had a few new interesting abilities. One being able to sense aura like he does with yoki and even able to sense the Grimm themselves. Another thing he discovered while using his yoki, was that he no longer felt the addictive feel and pull that made the energy so dangerous to use. Warriors who use it constantly have a much higher chance of awakening then those who don't.

Doesn't mean those who don't use yoki very often won't awaken, just prologue it.

The sad fact was this:

Warriors would always become awakened beings.

Just a question of when and where.

"Except me, apparently."

Jaune thought, smirking a bit at the thought. Though he hasn't dared try using the full might of his yoki aura yet.

He's already proven to himself that he can beat the Grimm without it, when they tried to attack the train station. It's how he was able to get ride the train in the first place. It was there way showing how thankful they are. The fact he could use his yoki sense to sense the Grimm themselves, was a nice bonus. The fact he got a free ride was very good, as Jaune had no lien on him.

Evidently the deity forgot to give Jaune the much needed lien or simply didn't care.

Possible both.

Jerk.

However Jaune had a small problem.

How was he going to processed?

He was heading to Argus city to make sure his older sister would be fine, as no doubt hear the news of his 'Death' and would hurt her badly. Team RWBY too, but his three plans depended on him staying out of sight. All of them were good, but had flaws.

The first one would involved him going back to beacon, but without curry favor. And by that, he means not only stopping the breach, but giving...certain info to the headmaster and not only would that bring suspicious onto himself but there was a good chance it get back to Cinder making him a bigger target before. Not that he wasn't prepared for it, but the possibility of Cinder tweaking or even changing her current plan could spell disaster. As much as he wanted to kill her, he needed her to reveal her true self first, before he could strike.

Things could get very messy otherwise.

The second one was a lot simpler:

Find and destroy any and all white fang bases, in hopes of not only drawing out Adam Taurus but the red witch herself and with some luck deal with them both. Or at the very least kill one of them, as the plan then would fall apart. If he killed the bull Faunus, the White Fang in Vale would not only be left leaderless, but ensure Sienna Khan survive. If he killed Fall, then with some luck, the REAL reason for the invasion would not only go up in flames(PUN INTENDED), but Salem would lose a potential Maiden.

A real blow to her forces.

The third was probably the most dangerous and unpredictable of the three plans:

Let things play. Remain hidden and help form the shadows. Let the world think he was dead and use that to stay invisible, using only his yoki aura to remain undetected by them and give team RWBY the evidence needed to expose Cinder and the others before it's too late.

"Well number three's out the window. That's for certain."

Jaune thought, sighing and shaking his head. By the twins, he only had one shot, it has to be prefect. Because this time around, there will be no second chances. And he really needed his armor re-forged and new weapons too, this made him sigh again. So much to do, so little time to do them.

Ugh what a bloody pain. However Jaune's mind wondered back to a certain little girl:

Clare.

Was she all right?

Was she dead?

Would she be all right, now that Teresa was dead?

Would she seek revenge in her name? And what happened to the kid and the rest of the hunting party? Despite Irene hunting her, he. Teresa still consider the pointy eared number two(Because Irene will always be number two to her/him? Whatever.) her/his? best friend.

Not only that, but did the kid awakened? If she did, then what become of Clare, Irene, Sophia and Noel?

Were they alright?

Were they able to kill the kid or did she kill them?

Jaune knew the kid had the potential to surpass Teresa, but that didn't mean she could kill three skilled and powerful single digits, even if and that is a very big IF she awakened.

Right?

But even if she could, then what would happen to Clare. The thought made the pale blonde heart's tighten. He could do nothing but pray to the twins that at the very least, Clare would be alright.

And he did just that.

All the while, he never noticed a pair of eyes watching his ever move.

A Few Hours Later

The crisp bite of the cold wind would make anyone shiver.

Unless you're a hybrid, to that end means cold and hot don't effect him at all. A thought and fact that made Jaune once again thank the twins for small favors. He arrived in Argus without any trouble and was thankful for it. That didn't mean he couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched. But he simply shrugged it off as his paranoia form his days as a warrior acting up.

Making his way out of the train station, Jaune looked around the white snow covered city.

Argus was in fact on the boarder line between Mistral and Atlas. It was a small frontier town, with a small Atlas base, that transport things be they items or people to the city itself. Now, you might think Jaune would want to stay far away form Atlas.

Due to him being a half breed and Atlas's history of dealing with things unknown...

Leaves much to be desired to say the least.

But by the twins damnit! He really had to watch his steps and make sure Saphron, her wife and his nephew stay safe as Jaune had no doubt people would use them, against him if they needed too. He wouldn't put it past the kingdoms it basically threaten his family if it was in the name of the "Greater Good". His power, his abilities weren't naturally and since the Grimm are always clawing at the walls, Jaune knew this for a fact:

One life does not matter, when it comes to millions more.

One family's suffering can be considered fine, if it benefits all of humanity.

That was just the world they lived in, one of bloody evolution.

Saphron was the only person in the family that didn't treat him like shit and actually tried to help him. After all the years of her helping him, he owned her that much at least to tell her that he was fine. If Jaune had too, he would kill every single one of those bastards that would dare to harm his family.

Walking down the street, with his armor making,"clinks" noise Jaune took in the city. Tall buildings, with steel replacing the wooden building. The streets were filled with chatter and the laughter of children and no one spared a second glance at Jaune.

Which was just fine by him.

No whispers or eyes turning to him in either fear or hate, made the former number 1 feel kinda happy he came back. As far as anyone else was concerned, he ws just another face in the crowd.

Nobody. Not a claymore, sliver eyed witch or monster in waiting, just another person.

"Though, if things go good, that'll change real damn quick."

He thought, knowing when, not if, WHEN he stopped Cinder he wouldn't be able to stick to the shadows for long. All eyes be on him, for better or for worse. Never the less, he hoped that meeting his sister would go smoothly.

Oh poor Jaune, you should know by now. Things never go as plan.

"Jaune?"

At that, the now sliver eyed blonde frozen in his steps. He slowly turned his head and saw six girls, a woman and man. All had blonde hair, with lightly tan skin and ocean blue eyes, staring at the former number 1 with wide eyes. He stared with equally wide eyes.

"Dad?"

For anyone.

Done.

Devil out.
