Here's the next part, hope you like it.


Jaune raised his head looking around the room. Weiss standing in front of him continued her shocked expression still processing how her ingenious plan backed fired. He refused to acknowledge the giggling blonde hanging on both of them or Blake, who for the first time saw her smile. He would have thought it was cute if it was not at his expense.

Ruby was giving Weiss a sympathetic look placing a hand on her. While shooting a glare at him. Pyrrha continued to smile yet he could tell she was also irritated from the recent development.

He let out an audible grown before returning his hand to his head calling the girls attention. "Weiss, how long does this poison last?" He asked into his hand.

"I'm, I'm not sure." She replied still recovering from her blunder.

"But the antidote…" Jaune started raising his head with hope. "Will only suppress the poison from affecting you." Weiss interrupted.

The silence returned to the room. Till Blake spoke in her neutral tone yet obvious enjoying herself. "You didn't put a lot of thought into this did you?"

"Or did you just want to put a "Leash" on are new knight?" Yang added winking.

"What!" Weiss turning red from the comment backing away from both blondes leaving Jaune to support Yang. "No, no. I was trying to get a feel for his true intentions that's all."

Yang continued her teasing, placing a hand on Jaune chest. "There is an easier way to get a feel for him, besides I don't think he minds it too much." Pressing her chest against him.

"I don't mind at all." Jaune spoke making a few girls blush slightly. "I'm used to carrying extra weight." He turned to Yang with his own smirk. While the others looked shocked.

Jaune could feel the girl tense up from his comment, she pulled away standing in front of him. She looked pissed but was smiling, "O it is going to be so much fun when the training starts." Looking Jaune dead in the eyes. He returned the look not backing down.

"If we can get back to the matter at hand." Pyrrha spoke up. "Weiss what are the effects of this poison? And what will happen to Jaune?"

Remembering the importance of his life Jaune turned to Weiss with his full attention. Yang a little dejected he lost interest in her so fast.

Back to her proper tone Weiss explained the poison and her plan. "The poison will remain dormant for two days. After words it will attack the muscles, making him unable to move. So if he were to run away he could be collected without too much trouble."

Weiss looked to Jaune. "I did not know he would actually drink it. But I wanted to test his loyalty and see what he would do, if his own life was weighed against his friend. It is also extra insurance making him reliant on me to supply the antidote."

Jaune needed more information about the poison, any detail could help identify it. But he could not flat out ask what it was.

Luckily the other girls were also curious about the poison. "So will he just fall over paralyzed after two day or something?" Blake asked looking for an advantage in her game with the knight.

"No, it's not that fast. (Jaune let out a sigh of relief) The first symptom starts after the second day depending, it might be in the morning or at night I do not know but he will develop a slight fever. Then his limbs will start to lose feeling and go numb after that. By the start of the third day he will be unable to move, but still alive. If he does not get the antidote by the next day his heart will stop." Weiss speaking of his death so causally, made a chill crawl up his spine.

Jaune was crushed. He did not need this new handicap. But had to get more information about the poison and how it affected him. "Let me get this straight, when I start to have a fever and go numb I go to you and get the antidote. But what's the recovery time?"

"Well we won't know till it affects you but I say half a day to recover from the effects." Weiss confirmed "Though if you try anything I might misplace it and let you suffer a bit." She added turning around and leaving with a satisfied smile. Ruby followed her out asking if she was serious about letting him die. He already knew the answer to that question.

With Weiss gone Yang moved to her other target Blake who was reading though listen carefully to the conversation. "Well Blake guess we got to share him with Weiss now. Hope you don't mind." She glared at the blonde not amused.

She shut her book turning around to the door. She looked to Jaune meeting his eyes, no words were needed. Both knew what the other was thinking and their grudge will be settled in the coming week.

Sensing the tension in her friend Yang went after her. He expected her to continue her teasing but the look on her face was of concern.

With her team gone, Jaune turned to Pyrrha who was still smiling at him. It was still awkward not seeing her full face but after a week he had gotten a little used to it.

The smile faded from her face as she walked over to him. He tensed a little not knowing why she came so close to him, but stood ready for anything.

Softly she said. "You're bleeding again." Point to his shoulder. Jaune turned to see red spots growing on the white wrappings.

"Again." He groaned sitting back on the bed. Removing his shirt he carefully started undoing the wrapping but struggled with only one hand.

Pyrrha returned with a tray of fresh wrappings and medicine. Placing it on the bed she took over for Jaune. It was strange for the knight to have the person that wounded him in the first place treat him but after a week he accepted it.

As the final banged was removed Pyrrha inspected the wound. Most of the damage was healed, way too fast to be normal she thought. The bleeding was coming near the top of his shoulder but was shallow. Grabbing the bottle from the tray she started to apply the medicine, as she worked her eyes wondered to the knight's face.

His eyes were closed covered slightly by his blonde hair, moving slowly with his breathing. She moved a little close getting a better view.

"Aa." Jaune winced opening his eyes, starling Pyrrha. Looking at her hands she pressed a little too hard.

"Sorry." She said smiling hoping he did not notice her staring.

He looked at her for a moment before closing his eyes again. "Its fine, the first time hurt more." He said dryly.

She paused at the comment but finished. Slapping it gently making him wince again. "You're right the first time did hurt." Grabbing the tray she turned to put it back on the table.

As she turned he saw her side still wrapped. Grabbing his shoulder he rubbed it slowly. "So, I was the first to land a hit and make you bleed, is that why you chose me?"

I know it a little short compared to the other chapters but I Hope you still enjoyed it. Next part will be back to the regular length.
