This is a special chapter of KRNJ. Featuring JellalXYang
It was bright an early at Beacon Academy, students roaming around the courtyard either chatting or just sitting around.
Elsewhere, a certain yellow-haired girl was standing in front of a large tombstone on Beacon Cliff. Engraved on it: We are never fighting alone. Get up, get going. I'll meet you there.
As she stared down at it, Jellal appeared behind her and was confused as to why she was there. "Yang?" Yang heard his voice and turned around to see him. "Hey dude." She turned back to look at the tombstone again. "What are you doing up here?"
Yang sighed. "This is my grandfather's tombstone. He was regarded as the greatest Huntsman who ever lived. Everyone respected him." Jellal slowly nodded to her. "I see. And I would presume that he was very kind to you?" Yang nodded. "Yeah. I was sad when I heard that he passed away. Everyone was, including Ruby."
As she sat down in front of the grave, Jellal sat down next to her. "I remember when I was a kid, he would always tell me stories about how he got to travel to all the kingdoms of Remnant, meeting new people, and taking on many missions that many others couldn't complete.", she started telling him. "You can say he was the reason why I wanted to become a Huntress and travel the world."
Jellal ended up smiling at her. "He seems like a man I wish I could meet." Soon, he would hear sniffling coming from her. Looking at her, he saw that she had begun to cry. "Yang?" Yang soon wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder.
Frowning from how sad she was, Jellal slipped both of his arms around her to comfort her. "It's okay, Yang..."
"He wanted to take me on his adventures after I graduated...", she sobbed to him. "He wanted to show me what it's like to see another place other than Vale. He promised to first take me to Vacuo, but he never did..." Jellal lightly rubbed her back and tried to calm her down.
"I understand you're upset, but you need to remember...", he began to tell her. "Even though your grandfather's gone, you have others around you that you can share your adventures with. You just don't know them. Or maybe you do know them."
Soon, Yang managed to stop her crying and looked up at Jellal, who wiped one of her tears away with his thumb. "So don't be sad. You have a bright future ahead of you. Whoever you want to share the experience with is up to you." He then gave her a warm smile.
Yang ended up smiling back. "Thanks, Jellal. You're a very nice guy." She then leaned her head onto his shoulder. "How is it that you don't have a girlfriend yet?"
Jellal chuckled lightly. "I don't know. But back in my world, there was one girl I liked. Though I'm not sure if I'll be able to see her again." Yang became curious.
"Who was she?"
Jellal scratched his cheek. "Her name is Erza. She is in the same guild as my friends and is regarded as the strongest female wizard of the guild. And was considered very scary by her piers." Yang couldn't help but chuckle. "So, she's kinda like me?" He nodded to her. "Yup."
Soon, Yang stared at the ground blushing. "Do you still like her?" Jellal shrugged. "I don't know. I feel like she's moved on, so I need to do the same."
Yang then looked at him while still blushing. "Hey. There's something I should say to you. As thanks for making me feel better." Nodding, Jellal looked down at her. "Sure. What is it?"
Taking a few deep breaths, Yang finally spoke up. "I really like you." Just hearing this confession made him blush a bright red, nearly the same red as his tattoo that was over his right eye. No one has ever confessed their love to him. Well, maybe Erza did once.
Jellal rubbed the back of his neck and cleared his throat. "I like you too, Yang..." To the both of them, it felt like time had begun to stop. As they knew it, they started into each other's eyes before beginning to lean in. Before their lips could touch, laughter could be heard in a nearby bush. It seems there was someone was there.
Taking notice of this and moving her face away from his, Yang picked up a nearby rock and threw it at the bush. Natsu fell out of the bush with a large bump on his head. "Ouch!" Ruby soon popped out as well. "Well, that escalated very quickly."
"Ruby? Natsu?", Jellal and Yang asked in unison. Natsu quickly stood up and looked at Ruby. "Let's go tell the others!" He started running up the hill, with Ruby following after him. "Yeah! They should hear about this!"
Jellal and Yang immediately stood up and chased after the two. "Hey! Get back here!" Both of the m were smiling while chasing the two up the hill.
Sorry the chapter was short. I wanted to make it longer, but was too emotional about today to type anymore. As some of you know, today is the anniversary of RWBY creator Monty Oum's death on February 1st, 2015. I remember how I first heard about Monty passing away. I was in English class and I got an alert on my phone from one of my friends on the RWBY forum. He had told me that Monty Oum passed away in his sleep at the hospital. I became saddened at the news and spent the rest of the day in the backroom of my last hour class crying. After I got home, I was thankful that my sister wasn't home because I immediately went to the bathroom and balled my eyes out for nearly an hour. But that didn't stop me from wanting to continue my pursue my dream of working at Rooster Teeth as a voice actor.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Please leave a review saying what Monty did to inspire you and how his death affected you on that tragic day.
See you guys later.
