Chapter 12: On a Knife's Edge
"Ruby!" called Jaune Arc as he ran towards his friend.
"There you are Jaune! What took you so long, the class starts in five minutes. "Ruby replied. The pair were on their way to a new class on leadership taught by none other than General Ironwood.
"Sorry I got held up." the blonde caught up to Ruby.
"Let me guess, Neptune?" Ruby teased.
Jaune blushed, "Yeah, he's been really on edge since the picnic."
"Don't worry it's only been three days, he'll calm down after about a week or two." The two walked into the big classroom filled with other team leaders from all years.
"Really?"
"Really what?" came the voice of Coco.
"Oh hey Coco. I was just telling Jaune that his dominant will calm down after a while."
"Oh yeah your one of Neptune's mates right?" Jaune nodded, "Ruby's right, just let him be protective for now and it'll blow over. I mean I was like that with Fox."
"Really?"
"Yeah I got so protective I locked him in our dorm room and wouldn't let anyone near him, not even our team members."
The general walked in and everyone took their seats.
"Good morning young hunters and huntress', welcome to leadership sculpting and battle tactics. In this class you will learn to lead your teams efficiently and effectively. You will also learn to lead your team to victory in any battle. Now would all first years please come to the front and former a single file line facing the class?"
A small group of ten first years lined up shoulder to shoulder.
"Now please state your name, the team you lead, as well as its members."
The first years went down the line till it got to Cardin
"I'm Cardin Winchester my team is CRDL and it's made up of: Russell Thrush, Dove Bronze, and Sky Lark."
Next came Jaune, "I'm Jaune Arc, my team is JNPR, and its members are: Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren.
Finally Ruby, "My names Ruby Rose I'm a part of team RWBY and my other members are: Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long."
"Thank you first years. Now in this class you be rewarded points which will go to your teams school rank. Just now Miss Rose was the only first year to earn a point, since she was the only one to properly introduce her team."
Cardin raised his hand. "Yes Mr. Winchester?"
"What do you mean that little pip squeak," Ironwood's eyes narrowed at this, "was the only one to say her team right, we all said the same thing."
"Would any of you upper classmen care to explain to Mr. Winchester what he and all but Miss Rose did wrong? Yes you…uh….Miss Adel I believe?"
"Listen kid," Coco began, "There is no I in team. Ruby over here said "I'm a Part of." Not "My team is" yes you do lead them but you're all the same in a team while there may be a leader no one is better than the other your all the same."
"Thank you Miss Adel. Now as Miss Adel stated, you're no better than the members of your team are. The way your team acts in battle is a reflection of your leadership skills. To be able to lead your team you must know your members, so once again we'll go down the line but this time I want you to say if any of your team members are mated or not."
Just like before the first years went down the line till they reached Cardin.
"Mr. Winchester is there a reason why you are not answering?"
"I don't know who my team is mated to" Cardin rolled his eyes.
"Okay Mr. Arc."
"Well, in my team only I and Ren are mated and that's to each other and our mates Neptune Vasilias and Sun Wukong. Nora and Pyrrha aren't mated yet Pyrrha is mated to a swiper." James cocked a brow at the last part.
"Miss Rose."
"Well all of my team is mated including myself. My sister Yang is mated to Blake and a guy named junior, Weiss is mated to professor Goodwitch, and I am mated to-"
"Yeah, yeah pip squeak we all know your fucking the headmaster." Interrupted Cardin.
"Mr. Winchester! I will not have this type of behavior in my classroom."
"Oh I'm so afraid the big bad generals going to get me! This is Vale not Atlantis you can't do shit to me."
"He might not be able to, but I can." Everyone turned to look at the door to see Ozpin and Roman standing there. "So Cardin might I ask why you feel the need to disrespect my mate?"
"Uh um..." Cardin looked nervous.
"What's Wrong Cardin, cat got your tongue?" Roman stalked close to the now shaking boy. "You know your not that bright Cardin, I mean no smart person would insult the mate of a powerful headmaster, an ex-criminal, and whose also the sister of a crazy pyrotechnic manic. You're ether really brave or incredibly stupid."
"I'm going to guess the lather." said Yang.
"Ozpin might I ask what you're doing here?" questioned James.
"Well we wanted to see how your class was going and decided to sit in. it appears we mad perfect timing." Ozpin was glaring at Cardin, the kind of glare you give someone when you're planning their murder in your head.
"I presume that you will handle Mr. Winchester in a professional manner."
"Of course I am a professional man after all." Ozpin smiled, "Now Mr. Winchester I expect to see you in my office tomorrow morning at eight sharp."
"But tomorrow's Saturday!" exclaimed Cardin.
"It would appear it is, oh well." Ozpin smiled innocently.
"Ozpin I do believe Roman is starting to rub off on you." smirked Coco.
"Yeah she's right, and I'm not sure if I should be proud or scared." Said Roman, "We'll see after classes red." With that they left.
"Now that that little show is over you first years may be seated." Stated James, "Now who can tell me the importance of monitoring your teams auras?"
"How was the class?" asked Neptune as his mate Jaune entered their dorm. Ozpin had given the new mates team RWBY's old room.
"Interesting, Ozpin and Torchwick almost killed Cardin."
"Why?" asked Ren
"He insulted Ruby right in front of him." Jaune sat down on his bed.
"Does he have a death wish or something? I mean I'm new to this whole mate thing but I'm pretty sure you don't insult someone in front of their dominate."
"Defiantly not. Hey Neptune what would you do if someone insulted us?" questioned Jaune.
"Oh that's easy. I would probably rip their tongues out and make them swallow it, but that's if they insult you. I don't know what I'd do if they dared to touch you."
"…I don't know how to respond to that…" Sun stared at his dominate.
"I wouldn't expect you to, now come here Jaune I haven't seen you since this morning." Jaune walked over to Neptune's bed and climbed into his arms. Neptune began to run a hand through the blonde locks on his mate.
"Mmm that feels nice." Jaune closed his eyes and leaned into touch.
After a few more minutes of petting Neptune stopped and Jaune opened his eyes. "What's wrong Neptune?"
"Jaune I know it's only been three days, but can I kiss you?" Neptune stroked his mate's blushing cheek.
"Uh…umm ok." Neptune lifted Jaune's chin and closed the distance between their lips. Jaune was ridged at first but his instincts allowed him to relax into the kiss. He felt the warmth of his mate's lips, the security of his arms, he felt the comfort from his mate's aura, he felt…..home.
The pair continued to kiss until the need for air became apparent causing them to reluctantly pull apart.
"Wow." Neptune said with dazed eyes.
"Yeah that was…amazing." Jaune said, too looking dazed.
"Congrats Jaune, you've just become my favorite."
"Hey…since when is there favorite?" asked Sun.
"Since now." Neptune pulled Jaune up to his chest and pressed a kiss into his hair.
Ren was looking flustered and staring at the floor.
"Ren what's wrong?" questioned Neptune.
"I…I…..I- it's just too much." Ren grabbed his school bag and left.
"What's that all about?" Sun look at the door his mate just left through.
"Nora." Jaune answered.
"Huh?"
"Ren and Nora were really close and when he got his soulmate mark he thought for sure it would be her, but as you know it wasn't. I think he's still kinda hoping they could be together." answered Jaune.
Neptune got up, "Where are you going?"
"To talk to Ren." He left.
"Ozzie how much further." Ruby groaned for the third time.
"Just a little further love." Ozpin said leading a blindfolded Ruby to a secret location. He and Roman organized a surprise for their young mate and know where ready to unfold it.
"Okay just through this door." Ozpin lead his young mate into a room where he then removed the blindfold.
"Surprise Red!" Roman said as they came through the door.
In the room there was a high level workshop. Tools and parts lined the walls and a nice sized workbench was on the back wall as well as a door with 'Garage' written in red letters.
"What is all this?" Ruby said going to inspect some of the tools.
"It's your workshop love."
"My workshop?"
"Well red, Yang told us how you loved to tinker with things when you were little and how at signal you were the one people went to when their weapons malfunctioned."
"So I decided that you could put your talents to good use here at Beacon and we worked together to set this up." Ozpin walked over to Roman was leaning against the workbench, and watched as their mate inspected her new workshop with wide grey eyes.
"So what do you think Red?" Roman asked and soon he and Ozpin found themselves with arms filled with Ruby.
"I love it, thank you." She looked up at her mates.
"No problem love, no sense in letting your talents to go to waste." Ozpin smiled and ran his and through ruby's hair, yet when he looked at his young mate he saw here blushing and scowling.
"What it s love?" Ozpin asked concerned
"Yeah red most people don't scowl when they receive a gift." Roman asked worried red didn't actually like her gift.
"C-can I-I kiss you guys?" Ruby stammered out, looking everywhere but her mates.
Ozpin smiled and lifted his mate's chin, "Ruby you never have to ask to show us affection, of course you can kiss us."
"Okay." The red head gulped and brought her lips up to Ozpin's, who practically melted at the taste of her lips. The kiss though short was electric and sent shivers down their spines and a sense of warmth overwhelmed them both. They finally broke apart and Ruby turned to the anxious Roman who soon felt that electric spark as he kissed Ruby.
The two kissed until a growling sound caused them apart. Watching his two mates locked in a kissed sent his dominate side off and all he could think about was fucking them. (Smut… sorta…. I guess…IDK)
Ozpin grabbed the two red heads around the waist and pulled them to him. He roughly kissed Roman while running his hand up ruby's torso and cupping one of her breast. He pushed Roman against the workbench and pulled Ruby in between them. Catching on Roman pulled Ruby flush against him and leaned near his ear.
"I don't think we can stop him now he's too far gone," he whispered. "Just go along with it if he goes to far tell me and I'll get you out of here while I calm him. Okay?"
Ruby nodded.
"Stop talking." Ozpin growled out. He ground himself into ruby's backside causing her to lean into Roman's now rock hard erection drawing moans from both of them.
He continued to do this, resisting the urge to just take Ruby here and now until Ruby broke the moment of passion.
"O-ozpin ...I-I I…I….I" Ruby stammered.
"Say it." Ozpin growled, slightly irritated.
"I want to give you a blowjob!" Ruby scrambled out blushing as red as her hair. Ozpin stopped his motions and looked at his mate.
"Are you sure?" He questioned sounding slightly less animalistic.
Ruby nodded and pushed Ozpin next to Roman on the bench and dropped to her knees. She unzipped the tick member, which was coated in pre-cum, and ran a finger over the tip before licking it. She could taste the bittersweet taste of her dominate and enjoyed it, wanting to taste more she slipped the head between her lips causing Ozpin to throw his head back in pleasure. Slowly she slid the member down her throat inch by inch, she went slow and stopped a few times to allow her self to adjust when she gagged. Once she fit in as much as she could she began to bob her head. Slowly at fist but she soon picked up speed. She then felt Ozpin run a hand through her hair causing her to look up at her mates. Ozpin was enjoying his blowjob, yet he was now focused on his attack on Ronan's neck while his other hand was pulling on the ginger's member. Deciding to allow herself some pleasure Ruby spread her legs and slid a hand in her skirt and began to pump her fingers in and out of her wet opening. A few more moments later the trio came to completion together with Roman moaning out Ozpins name.
Ozpin pulled Ruby up to them and the three revel in the warmth of each other while coming from their highs.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" came a voice from the doorway.
The trio looked to see James standing with his head cocked to the side and eyebrow raised.
"James what are you doing here?" Ozpin said checking that he and his mates looked decent.
"Oh nothing, just wondering why you failed to tell me there was an unmated leer on campus?" He glared at his old friend.
"You mean Miss Nikos?"
"Yes a member of team JNPR I believe. Why was I not informed of her existence?"
"I'm sorry James I've had more pressing matters to attend to." Ozpin pulled Ruby closer to him.
"Well I have come to ask you if I may pursue Miss Nikos on the count that she may be my mate."
"I grant you permission."
"Thank you." With that the general took his leave.
"What just happened and what is a leer?" asked Ruby once James left.
"A leer Red is the mate of a swiper. Leer is German for blank meaning their blank of marks."
"Oh. So Pyrrha is a leer and the general is going to see if she's his mate?"
"Yes love and I hope that if she is James' mate that she'll be able to handle him and his arrogant personality." Ozpin stood up "Come let's go get cleaned up and get to bed." The trio closed up Ruby's shop and left.
Meanwhile on the roof overlooking beacon. Ren sat leaning against the ledge just thinking over his life and wondering when it got out of his control and why did his plans for his future shatter. The door to the roof opened and Neptune sat next to him.
"Ren can we talk about this?" Neptune asked after a few minutes of silence.
"What do you mean?"
"I know about Nora."
"Damn it Jaune!"
"Ren listen I know how you feel." Ren scoffed. "Wait hear me out. There was this girl Kate we grew up together, and were inseparable. We would always fantasize about getting married and being mated we even played house all the time. Then she got mated to a guy named Jack and a few months ago they got married and I was invited and she asked me to give her away since her dad had died in the war. I honestly didn't think I could do it but when I gave her to him at the altar I could see how happy she was and knew I could never make her that happy. I knew I had to find my mates so I could experience that happiness. Ren I know this isn't how you planed on being mated and all but when I was younger I vowed that I would take care of my mates and cherish them. I swear I will love each of you and we'll get married and have a nice house and be a family."
Ren looked up into Neptune's eyes, "Do you really mean that?"
"Well yeah. I mean I know most people wouldn't think of me as a responsible guy but I really want to be a family. I want this to work and I know I know I may make mistakes, but that's why we have each other with all four of will make it work." Neptune looked into Ren's eyes and grabbed his hands, "I promise that we'll make through this war and have a happily ever after."
Ren searched Neptune's eyes to see if he was telling the truth. His mates eyes held nothing but sincerity and love and at that moment he knew he would try just as hard to make this work and that he had to let Nora go. "Okay."
"Thanks Ren," Neptune stood up, "Come now it's getting late, let's get back to bed."
Hand in hand the pair walked back to their dorm room.
~•~
In team RWBY's old dorm room.
"Nora have you seen my nightshirt?" asked Pyrrha walking out of the bathroom.
"It may still be in the wash, you can borrow one of mine." Nora replied sitting on her bed.
"Thanks I'll give it ba-"the red head was interrupted by a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Nora walked to the door and called "Who is it?"
"General Ironwood." Was the reply.
The girls looked at each other than Nora opened the door.
"General what can we do for you?" asked Pyrrha.
"My apologies Miss. Nikos for coming at this ungodly hour, but I have come to pursue you in account that I am a swiper and you are a leer."
Pyrrha's eyes widened, "You're a swiper? "
"Yes and I wish to see if we are compatible."
"U-uh okay."
"Thank you I will return tomorrow to escort you to a date." With the General took his leave.
"Well that was….formal" Nora said closing the door.
"Yeah, this semester is just filled with surprises." Pyrrha climbed into bed.
"Yeah." Nora climbed into her bed.
"Night."
"Night." Nora switched of the light and the pair drifted to sleep.
