Author's Corner: If you haven't seen "Welcome to ", the video, on youtube, go watch it now. It highlights many. many key points about this site.

Anyway, welcome back to DKMW! After typing that, I realize that not everything needs an acronym. To all of you who actually believed me when I said this would be the last chapter, you were wrong. Very wrong. No, this won't be the last chapter, so you can all start breathing again. No, seriously, please start breathing again, the FBI will really be on me if you don't.

It's been a while, certainly. I don't want to have this happen again, so from now on, I will, yes, WILL, be posting one chapter every two weeks. They will be posted every Wednesday, after today, and the RWBY one-shots will be, now as a series, one every now and then, but only when I have the ideas for it.

P.S: I'm officially retconning the whole "Pyrrha likes Jaune" thing for this fic. It was a stupid thing to go with.

Alright then. I won't keep you. P.S: Swearing present in this chapter. You have been warned. This is now rated M.

Jaune stirred in his bed, facing upwards, as he was just waking up. Sighing, he held his head. He must have fallen asleep, taken a nap. He really didn't remember much, but he seemed to still have his clothes on from yesterday, and his scroll was beeping slightly on his nightstand. As he finally regained consciousness, he became aware of a heavy mass over his pelvic regions. Looking down, his eyes widened, seeing a sight he never expected to see.

"It's about time you woke up," Ruby said, giggling. The small huntress was sitting directly on Jaune's "male-only" area, and appeared to be completely naked, save for a hoodie covering her upper torso, and what appeared to be underwear over, well, where else would underwear go?

"R-ruby?" Jaune questioned nervously, as the small girl giggled, her smile slowly expanding, "H-how did you get in? Why are you dressed like that? What-" Jaune's words were silenced by Ruby's finger, placed over his lips, her face closer to his.

"Don't think I didn't know what you feel," she said, moving her finger away from his lips and placing her hands on his chest, "Did you really think that I wouldn't know, if everyone else does? It's much more than obvious." Jaune gulped loudly, as he felt Ruby's breath against his ear. He was excited, of course, since the girl of his dreams was literally right on top of him, and he was also….well, let's say that he's very excited.

Ruby's mouth opened slightly, as she bit down on her lip. "You would not believe the things I've learned from Yang," she whispered, lowering her hoodie to her shoulders, "A sister that experience can give tips and pointers." Ruby traced a finger down Jaune's chest, as Jaune, still red as a tomato, breathed quickly and raggedly. He could feel drops of sweat starting to cloud his vision, as he was sweating profusely around his head.

Ruby's finger was almost at his waistline, slowly trailing down. Jaune's eyes widened, Ruby's face nearing his. Her lips were right there, waiting for him, but she closed them, smiling. Her hand reached his pants, as her lips got closer. Jaune started moving up towards her.

Closer….closer….Jaune could practically taste her lips…..closer….

Suddenly, Ruby's mouth widened, and she let out a noise. It sounded almost like…

My alarm?!

Jaune bolted awake, his beautiful dream ripped away from him faster than he could say "pickled Ursa on a hot dog". Groaning, he slammed his hand on his dresser, shuffling it about for a few moments. Finally finding his scroll, he pressed the "dismiss" button, shutting off the godforsaken alarm and giving him some peace and quiet. Looking at the clock on the wall opposite, Jaune realized that he had only been asleep for an hour and a half, which meant that dinner was, for him, still a few hours away. Sighing, he stood, wondering why his scroll had an alarm at this time of day.

As it turns out, after a quick inspection of the device, Jaune hadn't dismissed an alarm. He had declined a call from someone. Checking his call history, he discovered that it was Sun who had called. As Jaune was about to call him back to see what was up, he heard a tap at the window. Since the blinds were drawn, he moved over to pull them back. Which is why, still in his half-asleep stupor, Jaune flew backwards in shock, seeing Sun's face looking at him directly from the other side of the window, after pulling back the blinds.

"What the heck, Sun?" Jaune yelled, as the aforementioned monkey faunus let himself in through the window, "That was not cool, man!" After recovering from the initial blow, the blonde fighter stood, holding his head, as Sun chuckled, his arms crossed in front of him.

"You Vale people are so high-strung," Sun said, leaning against the window frame, "In Vacuo, you have to be ready for these things, or else." Jaune gave Sun a glare, while Sun just shrugged.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Jaune questioned.

Sun acted shocked. "Do I need an excuse to see one of my friends?" Jaune gave him a questioning look, and Sun sighed.

"Look," he confessed, his shoulders dropping, "Neptune's on a date with Ice Queen, Sage and Scarlet are off on something, and I have nothing to do. Clearly, you don't either. So, let's go do something, before I lose my mind." Sun grinned, holding his arms out from his sides in a friendly gesture.

Jaune put a hand on his head. "Sorry, Sun." he apologized, "I've been having some trouble lately, and I don't think I'm up for anything."

"Oh, swiss fucking cheese, Jaune," Sun exclaimed, throwing an arm around Jaune's shoulders, "I can see what's wrong. You're having girl problems, ain't ya, bro?"

Jaune groaned once more. "Every really does know, huh?"

"Yup," Sun confirmed, "People can read you like a book, my friend. Now, who is it?"

Jaune looked surprised. "You mean you don't know?"

"Should I?" asked Sun, "The girls may be able to catch on quickly, but I'm still a bit slow on the uptake. So?"

Jaune thought it over, then gave in. "It's Ruby." Jaune instantly regretted it, when Sun, in a fit of excitement, took two steps away from Jaune, his hands covering his mouth.

"No fucking way, bro," he exclaimed, stifling laughter, "Oh, man, you are so screwed." Jaune raised an eyebrow, which caused Sun to almost break out in full laughter.

"Okay," Sun composed himself, taking a few deep breaths. "How do I explain that you're boned six ways to Sunday?"

"Well," Jaune suggested, "Maybe start by telling me exactly what's so funny?" Sun sighed, shaking his head.

"First off, she's only 15." Sun motioned to his left index finger with his right, indicating his list. "Second, she's emasculated you twice now. Third, her big sister will kick your ass if you do anything to hurt her. Need I say more?" Sun grinned, as Jaune sat down on his bed, letting out an exasperated sigh.

Sun sat down next to him. "I'm kidding, man," he said, patting Jaune on the shoulder, "Look, tell you the truth, I'm crushing on Blake right now, if it isn't obvious. I'll help you, you help me, okay?" Sun held out a hand for Jaune to shake. Jaune looked at Sun's hand, contemplating his offer, before shaking it.

"There you go!" Sun exclaimed, leaping to his feet. "Now come on, let's go do something fun! Just the two of us, how about it?" Jaune smiled, getting up and grabbing his things, as Sun headed out the door.

"Wait up, will you?" he called after him, as he headed the same way. Locking the door behind him, Jaune nodded his head, following Sun down the hall. As he walked, Jaune took a moment to look back, literally, at the door leading to Team RWBY's room. Thinking about his dream, Jaune sighed, then turned his head, starting to jog after Sun. Taking a transport back to the city, the two blonde guys walked around for a little while, until Sun finally gave a hard sigh.

"Bro," he said, putting his hands on his hips, "We need something to do. I'm not just gonna walk around the school all day. If I wanted to do that I'd go with Neptune." Jaune thought for a moment, then smiled.

"Follow me," he said, running towards the Communications tower. Sun, scratching the top of his head, quickly ran after him. The two ran straight past the tower and kept going, before Jaune skidded to a stop in front of a low building, right next to a buffet. Sun finally caught up to him, then looked up and groaned.

"A bookstore?" he said, his shoulders slumped.

"Not just any bookstore," Jaune beamed, "Tukson's bookstore! Every book under the sun!" Jaune coughed when Sun gave him a glare, before reaching for the handle. The door was locked.

"That's strange," Jaune said, pulling on the door again, "This place never closes. At least, not on Saturdays." Jaune continued to jiggle the handle, going as far as to put his foot on the doorframe and pull. Sun, meanwhile, leaned his back against the window, leaning his head against the glass. He gave a sigh of exasperation.

"It's closed, bro," he said, looking over at Jaune, "Maybe it's because of the cold. No one likes the cold Seriously, Neptune is the book nerd, not me. Let's go." Sun tapped Jaune on the shoulder, but the blonde simply hit his head on the door, groaning.

"They had the latest X-ray and Vav….I really wanted it…." Jaune's whining prompted Sun to roll his eyes and take a few steps away. Looking across the street, his eyes caught something, and he elbowed Jaune in the ribs. Jaune turned towards Sun.

"Dude, look who just walked into the cafe over there." Sun pointed towards said cafe on the other side of the avenue, and Jaune followed his finger. His eyes widened, and his heart sank. There, through the cafe's large glass window, was Ruby. However, Jaune's heart sank because she wasn't alone. She was talking with some orange-haired girl, and laughing. Of course, it may have been a simple friendly discussion, but in the wonderful jabberwocked world that is Jaune's mind, his heart felt crushed. So much so that he physically fell to his knees, his mouth open.

Sun caught on, waving his hand in front of Jaune's face. "Yo, Arc, you there?" Seeing no response, Sun facepalmed. This guy is one of the densest guys I have the pleasure of knowing, he thought, and I'm the one giving him relationship advice. Lucky me.

Jaune's mind returned to him once Sun gave him an encouraging slap upside the head. Rubbing the affected area, Jaune scowled at the Faunus, who crossed his arms.

"Is there any lighter way to put this?" Sun asked, "No, because you, my friend, are either dense or self-deprecating. And no, I don't know what that word means, I just know because Neptune uses it constantly to describe Scarlet. Your problem, Jaune, is that you can only think of worst-case scenarios. And do you know what that makes you?"

Jaune shrugged. "Prepared?"

"No, man, it makes you a moron! The girl of your dreams, quite literally, from what I hear from your pal Ren, is sitting over there, not even having noticed you yet. All she's doing is sitting with a friend. Get over there! You know she's on your side of the fence, talk to her some more! Don't be a pansy, bro." Sun had his hands on his hips by now, and he was staring directly at Jaune. The knight sighed, looking at his feet, hands on his knees, and Sun rolled his eyes.

"Alright then," he said, turning away, "If this is how it's gonna be, then fine. I'll just go somewhere else today. Have fun." Jaune made a noise to stop Sun, but the monkey faunus simply leaped onto a nearby light pole, flipping over, and heading up towards the rooftops.

"Call me when you actually want to do something fun!" he yelled back, disappearing over the building. Jaune collapsed onto a bench, looking at the window across the street. Ruby's laughter didn't penetrate the walls, but he felt like he could hear it. He sighed.

"Someday soon, Arc, someday soon." Jaune stood and began to head back to the airship landing area to return to Beacon. However, unbeknownst to him, he was watched.

"Is that him?" A black-haired, tan skinned man with a White Fang mask was hiding in an alleyway, looking at the back of the blonde hunter-to-be. A redheaded woman, also wearing a mask, stood beside him.

"That's him," she replied, pulling up a scroll. "Ma'am, we have the target. Do we have permission to secure?"

A voice came back over the scroll's speaker. "Not yet," it said. The voice was disguised, likely passed through multiple warpers. "Follow him. Find out more. We'll use him as bait, the fool. Report when you are ready." The voice signed off, and the White Fang members quickly changed into normal street clothes, blending into the populace. In another room in Vale, someone set down a scroll on their desk. Crossing their hands, they leaned backwards in their chair.

A small ball of flame materialized in their right palm.
