Right so I going to level will you all, I had a lot of fun Writing this and in no way will I stop any time soon, but I'm in collage and I had a talk with my adviser about how much progress i made, and well it will take another 2 years to finish. (Which I do not need now since i basically have a great job i enjoy.) So Im at this cross road type of deal with do i still continue even after i did three years already, (Word to the wise do not change majors late) or focus on the job i already have. But there is the money issue, and my parents and all the time i already put into school. And If I'm really trying my best... Point is I had a lot on my mind this past week so i do apologies for not putting this up sooner. Thats enough of me bitching to you all.

I still really appreciate all the support, comments good or bad. And I'm just happy someone is reading my story. So As always Enjoy.

Pyrrha stood, gently rubbing the wrapping on her side. Turning to Jaune. "I will admit, you striking me furthered my interested in you. I was going to claim you regardless. It was your skills and leadership that made you worth. Though keep in mind my team and I were holding back in that fight."

Jaune gripped his shoulder titer remembering the battles he found that day. More Grimm than he had ever seen, a monstrous abomination of Grimm and human, five fighters more than capable of defeating an army with ease. And more blood and pain then he had ever shed or felt. It's a miracle he was still alive.

Pyrrha brought back his attention as she continued. "Disregarding how we were holding back, you still held your own against Ruby and Blake. And made me bleed for the first time in battle. (She paused remembering the battle, her body tensed) But it was the look in your eyes that made me want you more."

Jaune was taking aback, he tried to understand what she meant but had little time to think, as she approached him.

"You were fighting for hours, heavily wounded, standing against an army alone, facing a stronger warrior toying with you. Many would have the look of defeat, despair, and fear, but not you. She was leaning closer to him as she spoke.

You stood tall. Not backing down. Fighting with all your strength. Every time I thought you would stay down, you would pick yourself up sword in hand ready to continue. Looking back at me glaring with your glowing blue eyes."

She paused, saying more than she meant too. Jaune did not noticing her slip to distracted by her close presence.

Happy he was distracted she took his face into her hand bringing them to eye level. "That look. I want to see it again." Even with the helmet he could she her green eyes looking into his blue. Searching for that same light hidden.

"Wait a week, after I healed, I would not mind a rematch at full strength." He cockily said not breaking eye contact with the girl

She smile at his response, "I look forward to when we face each other again. But I think you are not ready yet." Jaune tilted his head to the side, but rethought charging head on into a fight so soon.

"As you know, you swore an oath and will have new responsibilities to bare. Keep in mind those around you, and what you have promised." She continued to smile, taking a step away from the knight.

"Tomorrow you will be free to move around as you please, just don't forget to visit Weiss the next day." She said before leave the knight to his thoughts wondering what she meant.

Slipping the stone back around his neck he laid back down onto his bed.

Besides taking a look around and seeing where in Remnant he was, Jaune was happy to finally stretch his legs again. The most he had seen was the tiny room he was locked in.

Sleep would not come as his mind raced. He would have to find a way around his oath, find Ren, or locate where he was. "Crap!" His sisters would be wondering where he was and could not bear to think they would suffer from the news of his supposed death.

As he thought a family pulse called his attention. Looking behind to the only window in the room he could have sworn a pair of yellow eyes was watching him.

"Wait…" How could he forget about the stone around his neck!? Sure a lot happened all to him today but still he would have to ask about it tomorrow with Pyrrha.

He forced himself to sleep not knowing what tomorrow had planned for him.

-Next Day-

Waking to the sound of birds singing in the morning by his window he blinked slowly adjusting his sight. Raising from his bed he saw that the door to the room was open for once. Leaving the bed he looked at the table seeing a tray of food, new clothes, and a note.

In fresh clothes he looked over the note while he ate.

`JAune

Today you take your first steps as a member of the Broken Fang. The house is yours to explore as well as outside, but do not stray too far. We need to show you were the traps are first. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are around the house if you wish to talk and learn more. I will be back by nightfall. Hopefully the girls will be mindfully that you will be around from now on but just in case be prepared.

Pyrrha.

"Well they are a bit too trusting just letting me walk around by myself. Then again with the Oath, Ren and the damn poison they got plenty to keep me in check. Plus even with my arm full healed I still stand on chance even against one." Jaune thought after reading the note.

Looking at the door he took a deep breath before stepping out.

He did not know what to expected but the house was quite large, more than enough space for six people. After stepping out of the med bay, as the sign on the door called it. He entered a hallway, not knowing where to go he picked a direction and started to explore the house. The first floor had a large room in the center, with a table in the middle maps scattered over it with other documents. Which proved to be useless as they were in code and need more time to decipher it. Burning the images into his mind he continued looking around.

The rooms had labels carved into the wooden doors, most were common like the kitchen which was well stocked with modern tools for cooking, and the bath was quite large. Having an open pool of warm water in the middle with individual stalls on the sides. How did they get warm water Jaune thought to himself. A small changing room was the only way in or out with towels hanging being the separators. "Be nice to take a bath after so long. But I will wait in case the girls use it first."

Some of the doors had the name of the girls on them, a lesson he learned long ago from his sisters to not enter a girl's room without their permission kept him from entering them. A spiral stair case was in the back but fresh air and sun light called him. He opened the large doors to the outside.

Stepping on the still wet grass he looked around and was taking aback by the beauty of the area. The house was surround by dense woods and brush. The sun still found cracks to let its light in. Wild flowers were spread around adding color. A path was made around the house leading to the back. Remembering the warning of traps Jaune tossed a rock into the brush. Hearing a snap the ground disappear in front of him. Looking down the dark hole he faced the path following its trail carefully.

A smaller hut came into view, the sound of metal hitting metal rang louder the closer he got. Pipes leading out the side angled down into the ground. Feeling the heat escape from the door confirmed it was a forge of some sort.

Knocking loudly he heard the hammering stop, a few seconds later a pair of silver eyes greeted him. "Jaune?" Ruby was surprised to see his face. She was not wearing her hood as it was hanging on a chair close to her work bench. Ruby had on a cloth shirt covered by a leather apron and gloves covering her top and arms.

"Hey" He said rubbing the back of his head. Both could feel the awkwardness and wanted to break it somehow.

"So you're a blacksmith, did you make everyone's gear?" Jaune asked.

The mention of weapons and armor put a smile on the girls face taking his hand she pulled him inside. Expecting to sweat from the heat he found the hut to be only a few degrees warmer. "Welcome to my workshop!" She said brightly.

"As you said here I make most of the gear that we use, though I only made my scythe as the others made their own weapons, but I made the armor and other tools." She added waving a hand at the racks of armor hanging on the stands.

Jaune was shocked to see the girls' skill, only a few master blacksmiths ever produced anything close with years of dedication. Yet this young girl was producing works they could only imaging.

His eyes fell upon something familiar, looking closely he saw it was what was left of his own gear.

Seeing Jaune walk over, Ruby followed. Noticing his change of expression "After we got you back here we hand to treat your wounds so we took it off, I tried to repair what was left but I could only do so much." She tried to say something to comfort the knight her own gear was like a child to her, seeing it broken would be devastating to her. Seeing her words did not change his expression she stared at the ground.

Looking back at the girl Jaune felt unconfutable seeing her like this.

Without realizing it, he placed a hand on the girls head rubbing it gently he smile at her. "Thanks for trying to save it, guess I need to find a replacement set." Both were shocked from what had just happened but Ruby smile had returned and Jaune felt better seeing it.

"Well it might take a few days but I could make a set for you if you like. Our armor is made from special metal so I can't make anything like that, but it would be strong enough to take a Grimm down."

"Really? That would be great thanks." Jaune answered smiling.

"I did it again, what the hell." Jaune thought quickly to change the subject. "Hey, its quite cool in here for a forge I figured it would be a lot hotter."

"Well you would be right but I made a special way to vent the heat away and put it somewhere more useful. See the pipes leading from the top of the forge to the ground outside, well the heat travels the pipes towards the bath to heat the water above it. The ground is a great insulator so we can have hot water. I get cooler work shop and we all get a nice bath." She said full of pride rubbing her nose.

Jaune stood awestruck hearing what the girl had just said. "That is genius! It's absolutely brilliant!"

"Ohh, come on stop." Ruby snorted with a laugh blushing lightly from the compliment, waving her hands around. She went to lean on something without looking. Moving close to the forge she reached to grab it.

Quickly Jaune held Ruby's hand away from the burning metal. Holding her close protectively. She was looking at him shocked but so realized what happened. "Thanks'." She whispered blushing being so close to him.

Realizing his was still holding her Jaune let go of the girl stepping away. "N-no problem just be more careful. (Both paused) I should go."

"Yea, I got some work to do we should talk later." She said quickly turning around back to her work as he rushed to left the hut.

"The hell was I doing in there?" Jaune thought to himself, not sure how to explain what he just did. She reminded him of someone, was it his sisters, was that it?

Jaune continued to think walking along the path.

The gentle sound of water falling on rocks brought him back from his thoughts. He was now standing near a small pond, being feed by a waterfall. The water looked clean with only a few fish swimming cause ripples. It was tranquil.

Jaune stood next to the water listening. His body relaxed with the sound. Looking at the water he watched the fish swimming close to the surface. Looking close he saw a face in the water, her skin was pale almost as white as her hair.

She looked like Weiss! Jaune thought. She was not in the water so where was she. Looking around he did not see her, till he looked up.

Standing a circle of light the girl breathed slowly as if in mediation. She was wearing a more casual dress still white with light blue details. The circle pulsed with her breathing, smaller circles formed and faded around her. Every instinct in his body wanted to get away from her. But his body did not move. He looked at the girl her face calm she was quite beautiful. He looked at her taking in her form. She was more slender compared to the other girls but it did not take away from her femininity. Feeling he was poking a sleeping Ursa he stepped back slowly ready to leave her alone, instead heard a snap of a twig.

Weiss opened her eyes to the noise, looking down to see Jaune looking up at her. Seeing a blush on his face she panicked. She blushed covering her legs, trying to reach for her weapon which was laying on the ground. Losing her balance and concentration the circle beneath her started to fade with her falling to the ground.

Jaune was about to jump out of the way but only feel face first into the ground. Looking down a similar circle was around his feet keeping him in place. As Weiss landed on his back.

Knocking the air out he gasped to get it back as Weiss groaned on top of him. After a second he felt a hand slap the back of his head. Turning around Weiss was straddling him, keeping him from escaping with anger clearly on her face. Her sword now in hand was pricking his neck.

"YOU! What were you doing here? Why are you out here, did you do anything to Ruby, and where you trying to look up my dress!" She asked ready to strike.

"W-What! No! No, I was just looking around the house, I'm stuck here remember. And I didn't do anything to Ruby I was just looking around. Wait why do you care about Ruby?" Jaune said trying to inch away from the blade.

Weiss looked away flushed. "Cause she is close by is all. But why where you staring at me then!" She asked repointing her blade at Jaune.

"I-I could not look away." Jaune said continued quickly feeling the blade dig into his skin. "I never seen anyone float on air before, can you blame me for being couscous."

Weiss blinked looking at the knight. Removing her blade she let Jaune go hitting his head on the ground again.

Rubbing the back of his head he looked back at Weiss still glaring at him angrily. "You know, you are a lot cuter without that angry look ruining your face."

Jaune froze cursing his choice of insult. He was expecting a sword to be lodge in his neck by now but when he looked at Weiss she was still processing what he just said. Looking down at him and were she was sitting pink covered her cheeks. The next thing he knew he was in the water.

Swimming back to the side he pulled himself out of the water. Thankfully Weiss was gone by then. Standing he started to dry himself off till a gust of wind caused the knight to shiver.

Deciding another week in the med bay was the last thing he needed, he jogged back following the path to the front of the house. Opening the doors he walked straight to the bath.

Closing the door he started to get undressed, he struggled with his damp shirt clinging to his body. But quickly removed it and the other wet cloth hugging his body.

He stopped before passing the towel barrier. "Hello anyone in here?" Jaune called making sure one of the girls was not naked. With no response he walked past the towel. Stepping into the open bath, he relaxed as the warm water covered him.

Submerging his head in water he was in paradise.

Yang returning from her work out, tired and feeling sore she tossed her cloths to the floor and untied her long golden hair letting it fall over her eyes. While training in the trees she lost her footing and fell. She was fine but her hair was now dirty from the fall. She passed the towel barrier pushing it to the side lifting the hair from her eyes she looked around to see if she was alone. "Great just when I need someone to help with my hair no one is around." She grunted before heading to the stall to wash the dirt out.

Missing the other blonde Jaune reemerged from the water letting out a content sigh feeling clean and warm again. Till it was replaced by a cold chill running up his spine.

"Hey I got a bath buddy, cool. Mind helping me with my hair? I kind of got it dirty while I was out." Yang asked laughing as she picked a leaf from her head.

"Fuck." Jaune thought as he did not move from the water. Panicking over what to do.

Run? No she will know it was him then. Hide? No she would turn around and see him. Just say it was an accident? Just a simple misunderstanding right? Possible but judging from Weiss and other misfortunate accidents he had with girls it always ended badly.

"Well, come on. I need a hand here." Yang waved her hand pointing to her head.

Jaune slowly got out of the water and walked behind the girl.

"The FUCK ARE YOU DOING JAUNE, SHE WILL KILL YOU!" He thought but did not know what else to do.

"Look I promise to not get Yangry when you touch my hair alright. Please." Yang begged looking over her shoulder about to turn around.

Placing his hand on her head he gently turned her away from him as he started to pick leafs and twigs out.

"T-thanks it such a pain to get all the spots I can't see." Yang said a little tense as Jaune's hands worked.

Jaune tried to not look being a gentle man, but his eye wander over her body which thankfully was covered by her long hair. Though even dirty it was quite beautiful, feeling smooth to his touch as he gently removed another leaf.

Soon Yang stared to relax to his hands moved through her hair. It felt relaxing and kind of good to her.

Seeing as there was no more left he quickly rushed to the door. "Hey where are you going?" he stopped again. Swearing in his mind.

"I know I just had you help me but would you mind washing it too? It felt kind of.. Relaxing having someone else do it." Yang asked.

Cursing his luck he walked back over to Yang who let out a sigh as he poured warm water over her head. Running his finger through her wet hair he undid some knots while gently rubbed the top of her head. Feeling the smooth hair again in his hands felt nostalgic in some way, as he worked he relaxed just enjoying the moment as yang did the same. Till he noticed something.

With Yang's hair now wet it exposed more of her body to him showing off her curves. Worse she was leaning back closer to him as he worked. Thankfully she was enjoying the wash too much to talk. She tried to looked back when he suddenly stopped but Jaune move to her neck to keep her looking straight ahead. moving to her shoulders.

Her soft skin was warm to the touch, massaging the muscle he could feel the strength in her body reminding him how much danger he was in.

Gently pushing her away from him he stopped and was about to get up again to quickly leave. Till she quickly turned around wrapping her arms around his body and pressing her chest against him pushing him to the ground. "Wait don't... stop?"

At this moment Jaune knew he was going to die.

So again I'm sorry I vented to you all above, just I don't know life is weird. In short don't worry about me its life and like i said I will not stop writing any time soon.

But back to the story, What is Pyrrha planing for Jaune, Why is Jaune acting weird with all the girls. HOw will he survive the bath?
