Yang was never a truly light sleeper. She could sleep like the dead when she was exceptionally tired. But right now she wasn't asleep, instead she was something very different. She was comfortable, ever since the first time she woke up huddled next to Jaune she decided that she was going to have to so this again. She wasn't sure why but he was just so comfortable to sleep with. He was always warm, and while the muscle on his body wasn't rock solid it was still far from absent. All in all he was comfortable. Not that she would ever tell him that. Then he might try to use it to his advantage in some way. After all, while he seemed to be quite the gentleman he was still a teenage boy and therefore prone to bouts of extremely poor decisions where the opposite sex was considered. Yet in her heart she knew that he could never even attempt to manipulate her in any way. He was simply raised better than that. It wasn't lost on her though that the hands clasped around her midsection were gradually making their way farther north and if they went too far she may need to put him back in his place. After all HE was the one who was cuddled WITH and therefore had the responsibility to grasp and maintain the moral high ground. She was shaken from her thoughts when she heard what seemed to be a light whisper coming from Jaune's mouth it was so soft that she almost didn't hear him. " sing… beatiful… {child is this}" it took Yang a moment to understand the broken english and half sung lyrics but once she did she felt her insides go warm. And not warm like when she downed a cup of hot cocoa too fast, no this was more like when uncle Qrow actually let her try whatever he had in his flask. It was strange and a little unsettling. But she also seemed to enjoy the warmth that had exploded throughout her when she heard Jaune talking about her beautiful singing. She felt her face grew to smile when she knew he was smiling because she felt the outline of his lips as he pressed them to her shoulder. She swiftly moved as to separate his mouth and her neck as she didn't want a repeat of the night before. After a brief moment she felt him jolt awake and she also felt his arms shoot up almost wrap around her neck. She responded by tucking her chin to the side and she buried her right elbow into his gut. Much to her shock he seemed to hardly notice but he also stopped moving as a whole so she counted it as a win. They lay there for in silence for a time before Jaune spoke " sorry, I was dreaming and it had turned into a nightmare. You just startled me is all" Yang knew that she wasn't listening to much after the comment on her singing but looking back she did feel him move a little more than he had been in the last few minutes. All that aside she rolled over so she was looking at him and asked " would you like to talk about it?" Jaune seemed to seriously consider it for a moment before answering with "no, it was just a dream and it is over now. Do you still want that rematch?" Yang was expecting a lot things that could have been said but that wasn't one of them " sure, but were?. There aren't any sparring rooms here." she said as she stood up so he too could rise to his feet. With a silent smirk he lead her to a door that she hadn't noticed the three days they had been there. He opened the door and lead her down a flight of stairs.
Yang had to admit that she wasn't expecting to find a dojo in Jaune's basement. But when she did she also felt a slight wave of relief wash over her as she learned that his basement was simply a training dojo. He showed her to the closet and helped her to find a gi that fit and showed her where the bathroom was. She went in and changed and when she returned she found Jaune was already putting his gi jacket on over his pants. She also saw the clothes he was wearing before were on a pile just off the edge of the mat. While she wasn't a strange to half naked men having been to the beach more than once. However the sight of Jaune in only the lower half of his gi was still somewhat shocking as for the first time she saw his back. It was crisscrossed with scars that ranged from a few inches to almost a foot and a half at their longest. She tried not to seem too stunned when she saw them but a small gasp still escaped her mouth. Hearing her gasp Jaune turned to see her and realized what she had seen. Not wanting to talk about the source of his scars he simply put on the upper half of his gi and tied it off with a belt. Taking his place on the mat and gesturing her to do the same with his right hand. Once she had he assumed a fighting stance with his right hand out and his shoulders bladed she was at first slightly taken aback when she saw his bladed southpaw stance. It wasn't very common. Not even in a world as diverse as remnant a bladed southpaw was uncommon, even more so with unarmed fighters. She approached him she opened up with an explosive salvo of kicks and punches. That she thought would overwhelm Jaune who simply slipped and evaded every strike that he didn't out right counter with various styles of blocks and counters. It was frustrating her to no end that she couldn't hit him and that he refused to take a shot at her. This continued until she wound up and released all her anger into a leaping axe kick. That kick only left Jaune with two options. One was to catch the force of the kick square on his forearm that could be devastating. Or he could attempt to counter strike and stop his defensive streak. Either way would end this aggravating cycle of attack and constant defense. She knew that things were going badly when his upward block meet her kick square on and it pushed right on past and into his nose. She didn't expect to be showered in blood from Jaune's nose. She was so stunned at the sight that she stopped fighting all together and just stared at him upon realizing that it was the kick she had thrown that had done the damage to his nose. She was instantly apologizing and trying to stop the bleeding. He quickly shook free from her and made his way over to the metal box on the wall. Opening the box he withdrew two gauze wads and shoved both up his nose before looking at her and resuming his stance. She was a little shocked both at the fact that his nose was bleeding and that he wanted to continue. She resumed her stance and stepped forward in order to strike when Jaune advanced he quickly wrapped his arms around her right leg and when she brought her hands down around his side to sprawl the takedown when he arched his back so far that he landed on her in side control. He swiftly blocked her attempt to roll to her feet and pinned her left arm with his left leg and through on a elevated kimura and waited for her to tap out. In all his genius however Jaune forgot that she would only be left one option for tapping out. After he felt her tap out twice he released the kimura, he didn't expect her to keep tapping. And the part that registered a little too late was were she was tapping, that being his ass. After the fourth or fifth tap he also noticed that she was holding her taps just a little too long. Giving a startled yelp he leaped to his feet and saw Yang laying on the ground a contemplative look on her face. After helping her up he gave a confused look and said " what are you thinking about?" she looked at him and flashed a mischievous smile as she said " I would give you a solid 8/10, not too firm but not too soft either. Well muscled too" it took him a second to realize what she meant and he could already feel his face begin to turn red. As they made their way out of the training room they were meet by Ruby who took one look ar Jaune and then threw all the might she could into a right hook aimed for her sister. While yell " YANG, WHY DID YOU BREAK HIM?" Yang doged the telegraphed hook and look confused for a moment before looking to Jaune and saw that his nose was bleeding again. Jaune seemed to realize this as well and said " the training room suppresses aura so that you can't rely on it, jorge told me about it yesterday" Ruby was content with the answer but still not happy. Angrily she shuffled off and into the living room. The next person to see Jaune was Catherine who walked into the room took one look at Jaune and walked back out. Giving a tired sigh Jaune quickly replaced the gauze and went about his day. This left Yang to go wash her gi as it was now stained with blood. [ that will be a fun discussion ] she thought as she made her way to the laundry room
