Major A/N: So if you are keeping up with my story than I need to tell you that I changed the story so Jaune got shot. The main reason I did this so it would kinda work with the story better. One more thing, should I stick with the story for volume 3 or should I go and move bit after the ending of volume 2?
A white ceiling was all that met Jaune's eyes, he then heard a small happy "Yeep". Turning his head he saw team RWBY sitting next to him, "Hey guys."
Jaune tried to get up and was met with a sharp pain to his back, "Don't move Jaune, doc says your injury hasn't fully healed." Blake and Weiss then get up with Blake talking, "We are gonna look for the doctor." both of them waving as they left the room.
"Dude you have some pretty sick aura, I mean you have like double of what an average amount of aura is…" Yang was the only one talking with Ruby just staring at the floor. Jaune noticed his somewhat bandaged hand was already healing at an extraordinary paste.
His fingernails had already re-grown and his fingers were about half way their. It felt weird to see his two little stumps wiggle around. If he tried though he could somewhat remember what moving his whole finger felt like.
The door opened with two men walking in, one was in a suit and the other was in a white lab coat.
"Hi, I am detective Louie and I am going to be the lead detective in your case. I just need statements about what happened seeing that questioning you while you were half asleep won't cut it." The statement confused Jaune, did he wake up before and not remember?
"I guess Jaune doesn't remember, you went in and out of sleep every so often." Ruby quickly spoke and then sitting back into her seat.
Jaune nodded and started to list of what happened, the fight, the questioning, it went on. He obviously skipped over details but he gave a good figure of what happened, he did however left the Neo part out. Soon the detective nodded and walked out with a plain face letting the doctor have his talk with Jaune.
"Well luckily for you the bullet tore through your body and didn't hit any major organs, you won't be able to fight though and I highly recommend at least a week of rest. Other than some soreness your body should heal back and your fingers will regenerate within a few days." The doctor looked at his clipboard and nodded towards Jaune before leaving.
A police officer walked into the room with a look confusion, "Hi, you don't know me but I am going to be one of the guards who will be watching over your room…" The officer seemed perky and looked young. "There is a small girl who seems to know you, she said… I mean wrote that her name was Neo?" Jaune nodded his head and gestured for her to come in.
The officer nodded and walked out to be replaced with Neo. She looked at Jaune with a small smile that even Ruby noticed was odd. Yang stood up looking at Ruby and said, "Hey Ruby why don't we go see if they have any cookies at the cafeteria." Ruby jumped up and followed her sister leaving Neo and Jaune alone.
The second the door closed Neo's smile went away and was replaced with a face of sorrow. Tears formed in her eyes and all Jaune could do was open his arms and hug the small girl, she quietly cried into Jaune's arm wetting his hospital gown.
All Jaune could do was quietly reassured Neo while hugging her tightly. She then just laid onto Jaune's bed and stayed next to him. He held Neo slowly petting her head still giving out small words to reassure that everything was alright.
After a minute or two Jaune felt Neo slump into his arms and he saw the bags under her eyes, She must of stayed up all night lookin for me. The thought of her wandering the city made Jaune feel guilty, maybe if he could've beaten those thugs things would have been different. He didn't realize but the feeling of sleep slowly crept around Jaune causing his body to slowly go, maybe it was the feeling of Neo's heat or it was pure exhaustion but Jaune fell asleep.
Yang peered her head into the room followed by Ruby to get some eye candy of Jaune. Whilst Ruby was fixated on who Jaune's friend was Yang was focused on one thing, Blackmail. Yang quickly pulled out her scroll and took a picture, Ruby gave her a questionable look but put her attention back to the small girl. Yang just smiled as she gestured for the two to go and find Weiss and Blake wherever they could be.
Breaking News! The Hack Mob members found dead!
The Hack Mob's leader Henry Hack has been found dead with other members of the Hack Mob. The death was burned to ashes but it is still unknown how the fire killed them. It is also unknown who is the killer but all Chief of Police George has to say, "Whoever did this will get justice for the murders."
Roman tossed the newspaper onto the ground looking at his boss who just entered the room, "So why exactly did you take out the Hack Mob?" Roman gave the lady a questionable stare.
"Simple really, they are unpredictable and I need control in Vale. Anyway did you get the item the white fang need?" Cinder gave Roman another one of her infamous stares.
"Of course I did, those mechs will be showcased probably by tomorrow." Roman didn't like the idea of giving a bunch of crazed faunus but it wasn't his call.
"Hey Neo did you read the news? Some guy killed the Hack Mob… The doctor said I could leave tomorrow." Neo's head perked her head up looking at Jaune with a happy smile. She has been visiting him every second she could get but with Roman's big surprise it has been getting shorter per visit. She pulled out her scroll and started to type, I feel bad because I have work tomorrow… Sorry.
Jaune just smiled and patted Neo's head, "It's alright, how about I make your favorite tomorrow?" She smiled at Jaune and gave him a quick kiss, honestly she didn't really know how this all ended like this but she was glad it did.
"Breaking news a mech has been seen on route 12, we have Jenny on live." The TV spurted out switching to a woman in a helicopter.
"Multiple amounts of people have been injured and it is still unknown who the driver of the mech is but we have information the it was Atlas's newest creation. Eye witness say they saw a group of what could be huntresses who attacked the machine, we have yet to learn who these people are." Jaune clicked the TV off and looked at the cooked meal.
"Nothing like good old fashion marinated steak with the Arc famous mash potatoes." he talked to himself smelling the aroma. Even though the kitchen only had two burners it was more than enough for Jaune to do his cooking. Instead of going out grocery shopping he was able to order everything he needed.
Neo came in smelling the scent of the steak, he mouth immediately opened and she looked at the plate that was still being set up. Jaune quickly added a few more spices and said, "Bone appa teet." while placing the plate towards Neo.
She quickly cut through the steak and took a bite showing a face of bliss. He knew she loved his cooking but he never knew she would actually give this big of a reaction. Curious if his cooking had somehow gotten better he took a bite of his steak to be greeted with a huge burst of flavor. The steak was surprisingly tender and the juices bursted smacking Jaune in the tongue.
They finished their food quickly and jumped on the bed with both of their stomachs full. Jaune and Neo's eyes locked together and they just snuggled into each other. After they got into a comfortable position they laid there for a while, he honestly didn't know what to do and neither did she.
In an attempt to break the ice Jaune suggested, "Wanna watch a movie?" Neo nodded and Jaune pulled out his laptop. Going through the movies his eye was caught onto a romance film, Neo on the other hand eyed down a horror movie. Without even arguing she pressed the horror movie and clicked play. Jaune gave Neo a disappointed look mostly because he hates horror films.
The movie wasn't really scary though, it was more of a gore fest which ruined the moment even more. About halfway in Jaune didn't think he could take it anymore, he was starting to get tired of seeing some poor bloke getting blown up or something. The movie then went with a torture scene that made the memories come back, he didn't want to but he didn't think he could handle it.
Neo noticed Jaune's discomfort and paused the movie giving him a worried look. "Neo it really isn't anything it is just… Can we skip this scene?" the question made her realize what he meant and quickly felt the guilt.
Did she really just force someone who was in the hospital for torture to watch a horror movie with a torture scene? The thought made her face go grim and she looked at the ceiling. They both gave their sighs with Jaune joining Neo at looking at the ceiling. The laptop was pushed away and they just both mentally decided to not say anything.
Jaune looked at Neo who was still staring at the ceiling, "You want to watch something else?". She just nodded and Jaune pulled the laptop up and looked for the romance movie that he eyed down. He finally found it and pressed play, the movie started up with a cheesy shot of the main character doing some dialogue.
Neo finally looked at Jaune and their eyes locked with only the laptop making noise. Her eyes broke the long stare and she looked back at the screen to see another cheesey shot where the camera went up with the title showing. Neo silently laughed looking at the movie with Jaune quietly chuckled.
They both knew this was going horribly, with the awkward reminder of the torture scene and the cheesey movie there were no real opportunities to make chat. Think god damn it… Think… Come on Jaune you are a stud!
"Hey Neo… You wanna have sex?" Immediately he was slapped on the face, usually Neo was the one who started naughty things but she was surprisingly out of character. Jaune sighed and knew he fucked up hard, he really know how to mess up…. Once the movie ended they just fell asleep in a whole awkward night.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Tap. Tap. Tap
Jaune's eye slowly opened to see Neo tapping onto his cheek. It was the weekend and Jaune just wanted to sleep in but obviously Neo had other plans.
A good minute went by of her tapping until Jaune felt something hard hit his back causing him to fall off the bed. "Neo please stop kicking me off the bed. You know I hate it." She just replied with a "What can you do" pose and pulled out her scroll with a message, We got to do some semblance training.
Jaune hated trying to do semblance training, it never worked and he would just be exhausted with no improvement. Still he knew he had no say in it so he did his usual routine. Finishing his quick shower and putting on his favorite hoodie Jaune was ready.
Neo took Jaune's hand and used her semblance to teleport them out of the city. They teleported onto a small hill with a cool breeze, they walk down the hill heading towards the battleground.
The battleground was really just some old ruins where there were a nice stone area. The place was secluded and was obviously overgrown by plants, grimm for some reason don't like the area though.
Alright, like always try and picture forming your aura into whatever you want. Jaune read Neo's advice and once again tried his best to just fail horribly. The best he could do was to shoot out raw energy which only just made him glow white.
About a good couple of hours of Jaune doing the best he could Neo finally gave up on him. Jaune was on the ground panting, even if he wasn't exactly using his physical strength his aura was starting to drain in huge amounts. Neo joined Jaune by laying next to him both of them looking at the clear blue sky.
"Hey Neo… Are you curious what my semblance is?" Jaune knew the answer, ever since they started training Neo was always tried to trigger his semblance.
Neo sat up and put her finger on her chin thinking, then she pulled out her scroll and typed. The message said, Well of course… I do understand that sometimes it is hard to unlock your semblance.
Jaune gave out a loud sigh looking at the message. He remembered something else that he didn't know if he should ask or not but felt like he shouldn't… Not yet…
"Neo can we go back? I kinda want to sleep right now." she smiled at Jaune and grabbed his hand teleporting them back to their room. They both hopped onto the bed, sometimes Jaune was glad that Neo was so small or else they wouldn't have fit on the bed. He slowly closed his eyes hoping to get some rest.
A/N: EVERYONE! Oh my fucking god this took so long to make… Like I was pumping chapters every 3 days but it took me more than 10 days to get this one… God I am lazy as fuck… Anyway I feel like I forced this chapter a bit and made the characters act odd but I wanted to add that awkward scene bad. I still haven't decided on what Jaune's semblance should be but I think I got an idea. I hope everyone has a happy halloween and I think next ch might be a little halloween one shot extra. K BYE!
