"Jaune?" Pyrrha stood at the doorway leading to the stairs with a look of confusion " Jaune what's going on?"
"Pyrrha I-"Jaune was quickly cut off.
"WHAT THE HELL! Jaune you're a dead man" Cardin started to say as he got up into a fighting stance.
'Jaune hit him... KILL HIM!' The voice inside Jaune snapped him again and Jaune dove at Cardin, taking him to the ground where he proceeded to beat him up leaving no room for retaliation. That is until Russel and Dove Forced him off of Cardin to which they picked him up and made a beeline for the stairs. Jaune stood to rush them until he saw Pyrrha falling backwards due to Russel shoving her out of the way, her head about to collide with the wall lining the roof. Jaune dashed to her barely stopping her in time.
"Pyrrha are you ok?!" Jaune spoke quickly worried that they had hurt her.
"Jaune I'm fine thank you" Pyrrha blushed as she spoke which caused Jaune to wonder why she was blushing until he realized how close their faces were. This caused him to start laughing which confused Pyrrha 'This isn't like him shouldn't he be blushing and stuttering?' her thoughts were quickly interrupted.
"Pyrrha, Hello?" Jaune was waving a hand in front of her face trying to get her attention.
"Oh sorry Jaune" Pyrrha quickly said putting on a fake smile.
"I asked if you wanted to head back to the dorm before all of this gets out of hand, they'll come back you know" Jaune said the last part with worry causing Pyrrha to sigh in relief 'there's the old Jaune'
"Ok lets go" Pyrrha took the lead and they both headed back to their dorm room.
As Jaune and Pyrrha got close to their dorm room they could hear the distinct sounds of a happy Nora. Jaune opened the door to their room to see Nora bouncing around on Rens bed with said boy sitting on the floor at the base of the bed in what appeared to be his normal outfit except with the addition of a pink frilly tutu, oh and make-up.
"Ren buddy why are-" Jaune began
"Jaune, Pyrrha, say anything to anyone and I will personally make sure that the school knows about last Friday" Ren simply stated causing Jaune to blush as he remembered how he accidently walked in on Pyrrha getting changed.
'HOW DARE HE!' Jaune heard the voice again it sounded like it was shouting in anger but it also sounded a lot more distant than before.
Jaune quickly went and sat on his bed on the far side of the room next to Rens. he began to lay down lowering himself until he yelled in pain. His hand felt like it was on fire, he held it close to his chest trying to dull the pain. Ren shot up and removed the tutu at the speed of light and threw it onto Noras bed, in a flash he was sat next to Jaune with all the make-up removed trying to coax Jaune into letting him look at his hand. That's when he noticed Jaunes whole arm was covered in blood and even a bit of his jacket had blood on it.
"Jaune what happened?" Ren asked his leader in a serious tone.
Jaune sat there in silence ashamed of what he had done
"He beat up Cardin" Pyrrha stated worried for Jaune.
"Really? Yay Jaune finally hit Cardin" Nora stated having sat down on Rens bed.
"No I- err I-I-" Jaune didn't know what to say.
Nora and Pyrrha sat in silence while Ren looked at his friends hand. Ren stated that he might have to visit the Nurse due to his hand being pretty bad causing Jaune to wonder just how hard had he hit Cardin. Jaune thanked Ren and walked to the door as he turned the handle he turned his head to look at Pyrrha, a look of shame hung on his face not towards her but to himself, he quickly left.
"Pyrrha what happened?" Ren questioned
"Ren it isn't my place to say"
"It isn't like Jaune to jut beat someone up" Pyrrha looked away not wanting to continue the conversation but Ren continued.
"I didn't say anything to him because I don't want him to overreact but he had broke his hand Pyrrha, How he hadn't felt anything up to this point I'll never know. So I'll ask again, What happened?" Pyrrha looked at Ren with a sorrowful look
"I'm honestly not sure Ren he just spun round and attacked Cardin, he broke his nose for god sake, then he just stared at his hand and... Laughed... I honestly thought he had gone mad"
"Then?"
"Cardin got back up and told Jaune he was a dead man... Jaune took him to the floor and just-" Pyrrha broke down, She was scared that her friend was changing. Ren sat next to her and tried to comfort her yet it was only a half hearted attempt, truthfully he was trying to comprehend what he had heard. Nora just sat on Rens bed smiling, yet her thoughts were those of confusion.
Jaune was walking down the corridor to the Infirmary when he heard some students on his left say his name followed by the words 'Cardin' and 'Fight'. He picked up his pace and turned the corner leading to the Nurses office, and walked into the infirmary.
"Hello Miss err I hurt my hand combat training I was wondering if you could take a look at it" Jaune asked
"of course dear come take a seat" she replied pointing to a seat next to her. Jaune sat down and showed her his hand still covered in blood.
"Hold on let me just quickly clean up your hand" The nurse got to work cleaning his hand confused as to where the blood had come from seeing as he had no visible cuts, she then took his hand and examined it.
"Hmm you appear to have broken your hand" Jaune looked at her a little scared but she continued.
"I don't understand though you don't have any cuts where did the blood come from?" Jaune opened his mouth to say something but was cut off
"Are you the boy who beat up Cardin Winchester?" Jaune looked down sadness etched onto his face
"...Yes..."
Ohhh them cliff-hangers though ;)
