Ok, so given chapter one was a test and I decided the results were worth it, I'm going to try and continue writing this story. Hopefully, I can remain inspired enough to actually type out all of what I have planned. And I've planned out a lot, I want this story to have over at least one hundred thousand words without skimping on details and descriptions. Though I'm more of a dialog kind of person so my descriptions probably won't be up to par with most stories, hopefully, that gets better as I progress. Anyway, you didn't come here to read me ramble, you came here to read my story so here you go.
RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth. I don't claim the anything I use in this story.
The unknown environment he was in caused Jaune to wake with a start before remembering he was in the auditorium of Beacon Academy. Sitting up and looking around he saw almost everyone was still asleep. Checking the time on a large wall clock he decided he had about an hour before everyone was awake and the new first years were expected to complete whatever they needed to do to officially call themselves Beacon students.
Figuring he had enough time for a quick warm up, he walked out to the courtyard he and Ruby got lost in yesterday. Jaune decided he should go easy with the warm-up because he would be fighting today so he brought his warm-up list down to some push-ups and running, mainly running because he really felt like it today.
After doing some stretches and getting into position out of the way of the paths he started on his push-ups. While doing so his mind wandered to the various things Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Glynda tought him about in the month and a half he had been in Vale.
The first thing they tried to get him used to was being in a safe environment around people, which is why they set up an apartment for him in Vale close to the shuttle station that ferried people to and from Beacon. It hasn't stuck all too well if this morning was any indication.
After that, they tried to help him get better at socializing by having him handle most of his shopping needs himself, though he never really caught on and always either scared people or made them feel uncomfortable. He still wasn't allowed at a few restaurants because he creeped out the owners too much. At first, he didn't really care all that much but after Ozpin helped him realize that communication among teams was vital to the teams' survival, he made more of an effort to be better at it. Though Glynda was always saying that his lack of a filter was going to get him in trouble.
There were other things they did succeed in helping him with, like hygiene. Before he never really had the chance to bathe or change as often as he should, and he only ever really changed clothes when his old ones got too tight or ripped up. Over time he got used to it but when they told him told him that he should shower and change every day, he just shrugged and accepted it. It's not like its hard, five minutes in and out.
Feeling fifty pushups was enough, he stopped and stretched his arms a little before walking to the doors of the auditorium where he saw a little over half of the people in the room were awake, including Ruby and Yang. After waving and getting one energetic and one half of a wave back, from Ruby and Yang respectively, he turned around and started running. His plan was to run to the crater he found Ruby in yesterday, but he couldn't find it so he just decided to run to the docks and back. He had always liked running, except when it was for his life.
After running a couple laps he checked the time on his scroll, another thing he learned about thanks to Ozpin and Glynda, and found he had been outside for half an hour and decided he was ready for whatever today brought. Stopping the next time he reached the auditorium doors and jogging in place for a second to let his heart slow down properly, he walked in.
Not seeing Ruby or Yang, he asked the closest person he could where the showers and dining hall were. After getting his stuff from where he slept and noticing the sisters stuff was gone, he went to shower and change. After he finished changing into a durable pair of pants and a plain grey t-shirt, he followed the directions he got to the dining hall.
Seeing Ruby and her sister and remembering where they were he walked to one of the lines for food, though he only picked up an apple and a bottle of water. Walking back to where he saw Ruby, he got another wave from her sister as Ruby was too busy trying to hide her face, presumably from something Yang said as she was laughing at Ruby.
"How are you guys doing this morning?" asked Jaune as he sat down across from them. He got a muffled reply from Ruby as she was still hiding her face.
"We're doing great, I was just teasing Ruby a little" Yang got out through her laughter.
"About what?" he asked as curiosity got the better of him. Though this caused Ruby's head to shoot up.
"Yang, don't you dare" she threatened. This just caused Yang to laugh Harder.
"I called you Ruby's boyfriend as a joke and she got all defensive and started stammering" Yang chuckled out as she got tackled by Ruby, though Jaune was just confused.
"Why would she do that?" he asked, wondering why being called her boyfriend would cause her to panic the way she did. "I am a guy and her friend, right?" at that he looked at Ruby, though he kept talking, he did get a nod, "I don't get it." It was Yang that responded.
"Jaune, when someone says boyfriend in that kind of context they mean that the two people they are talking about are dating" Yang started, though she continued when Jaune tilted his head in confusion. "Dating is when two people are together in a way that they are trying to figure out their compatibility to get married and make a family. A lot of people start dating because they really enjoy the other persons' company because they are fun to be around or various other things. Another part of it is because they like the way the other person looks. It may not be a deciding factor but it is important in the beginning. You'd think this would be something Ozpin or Glynda Would have explained." Yang finished.
A lot of people wouldn't have expected this kind of seriousness from her, but Yang is a big sister. She has to know how to switch between joking and serious, and she realised that Jaune honestly had no clue what she was talking about. She was the one that had to explain the birds and bees to Ruby because their dad could barely look at her when trying to explain.
"They did, but between the stammering and the go ask the other one, I could hardly get a straight answer from them. They did get someone to explain the other parts, so no need to continue from there" he saw relief flood through Yang when he said that. He was quiet for a couple seconds as he sorted through everything Yang had told him.
"So wait, because you reacted that way, does that mean you're interested in me like that?" asked Jaune, looking at Ruby.
This caused Yang to start laughing and Ruby's face to match her cloak again, though before she could even think of a response Professor Glynda's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Would all freshmen please grab their weapons and meet Headmaster Ozpin and I at the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest."
At that Ruby lept up with a barely audible "goodbye" and sped off in a flurry of rose petals.
"Is that a yes?" Jaune asked, looking at Yang again, though this just caused her to resume laughing.
...
Jaune finally came to the locker where his scroll said his sword and shield were, having taken so long Yang had grabbed her weapons and left already, though Ruby was already gone when they got there. He saw the white-haired girl that yelled at Ruby and Yang yesterday talking to the red-haired girl he saw surrounded by the crowd from yesterday standing in front of it. Remembering Glynda telling him to try and make a good first impression.
"Excuse me, tha-" was a far as he got before the White-haired girl whirled toward him and stuck her finger in his face.
"That's right, excuse you. Who are you to interrupt a conversation between me, Weiss Schnee, the heir of the Schnee Dust Company and Pyrrha Nikos, the three-time winner of the Mistral Tournament," she said with visible disdain toward him.
"Oh hell no," he said with such force that it caused everyone in the locker room to pause and stare at the three "I don't care if you're The fucking Brothers themselves, much less a couple of snobby apparent rich girls, I won't take any kind of shit from anyone. And because you asked, I'm the owner of the weapons locker right there." He said, pointing to the locker between the two. "Now, if you'll kindly get the fuck out of the way."
Normally Jaune is a calm and collected person but it mainly depends on how he gets treated. If someone is nice to him, he will be nice back, like with Ruby and Yang. If they treat him like he is lower than the dirt they walk on they get treated much the same way as the girl in front of him.
Seeing as she hadn't moved yet, still surprised that someone would talk to her like that, he shoved past her, grabbed Crocea Mors, slammed the locker and walked off. He had noticed, however, the Pyrrha girl had moved out of the way almost as soon as he started talking.
"Hey" Weiss tried but was interrupted by a middle finger from Jaune as he walked out of the room.
...
Following the path, he came across the cliffs Professor Glynda had talked about over the loudspeakers. Though as he walked up Ozpin realized that Jaune was angry and intercepted him before he could meet up with the group standing near the edge of the cliff.
"Is something wrong, Jaune?" asked Ozpin as he stood in Jaune's way.
"Sorry, Ozpin, some girl named Weiss was standing in front of my locker. I tried to ask her to move she turned and started talking to me like I just spit on her," replied Jaune, anger clear in his voice.
"While that was unnecessary you need to calm down, lest we have a problem on our hands." Ozpin reminded him.
To most, it would sound like Ozpin was threatening Jaune but in reality, he was reminding him that, for whatever reason, the Grimm responded to Jaune's emotions more easily than anyone else's. This requires Jaune to have a better hold on his emotions than anyone else. It also explains why he had been encountering Grimm for as long as he did in his old home. Normally there would only be the initial wave of Grimm after something like a bandit attack, then it would taper off to four or five at most. But because of the problem with Jaune's emotions, there was constantly over twenty near his ruined home.
"I know Ozpin, I'm good now," he said, nodding at the man in front of him.
Ozpin just clapped him on his shoulder and sent him on his way.
...
Jaune watched as Ozpin looked over them all and saw him give a barely noticeable smile. Next to him, Ruby was talking with her sister about the teams they wanted. Everyone was pulled out of their thoughts and conversations when Ozpin cleared his throat.
"Let me be the first to welcome you to the first and only test needed to be a student of Beacon Academy, and let me also be the first to explain what this test is," Ozpin spoke, loud enough to be heard clearly at the end of the line of students.
And there is the second chapter of 'The Possession' Hope you enjoy. No clues about what Jaune was possessed with just yet, though I'm planning on fixing that next chapter.
Hope you enjoyed. Leave a review if you did, and if you didn't, leave one anyway and tell me why. I can't improve if you don't.
