SORRY! I fucked up a little. First things first I'm not dead, just an over thinking idiot. I will talk more down below but for now please enjoy the next chapter !

Red Hair Red Face

"h-huh." Was the only word Yang could respond with, she found herself distracted by how close the two of them were. The pleasant sensation on her chest as the knight tried in vain to lift himself off added to the burning heat creeping over her face as with each attempt she felt his hand inadvertently fondle and squeeze her breast. After another attempted failed his hand slide to the side of her chest planting it next to her arm to keep himself from falling on her again. He struggled with his own weight inching closer to her.

Yang could have easily pushed Jaune off, yet she was frozen in place staring up at him. Her eyes found his lips. They looked soft, and sharing the same warmth she felt cover her body as it pressed against his. Relaxed, closing her eyes, she leaned into the knight as her arms found their way around his body embracing the warmth.

His breath tickled her nose as she felt it gently brush over her face. The moment was only a second but it was minutes of waiting for Yang. When she did not feel his lips on hers she wondered why.

Braving one eye open she saw Jaune's face was replaced with the concerned look of her sister and conflicted look of her partner. Following her partners gestures she leaned off the ground to see Pyrrha holding the Knight protectively, her face had a slight blush but was clearly worried as Weiss looked him over. Checking his pulse before placing her hand over his head her eyes closed concentrating.

Seeing her sister was not hurt Ruby smiled before rushing over to Jaune holding his hand in hers. Blake lowered a hand to help her up which she accepted. Getting to her feet she missed the warmth. Looking at the knight her hand moved to her chest then up to touch her lips.

Blake raised her eyebrow, she had never seen Yang like this before and tried to get her attention. "Yang?" The girl just continued to stare ahead. Grabbing her shoulder Yang turned to her friend's touch she remembered was still there. "S-sorry, I'm fine, just drifted for a second." She answered turning back to Jaune. Blake shrugged as she was ignored. Started to walk to the others but smirked at a thought. She turned back to Yang who had not moved. "Just curious, does his hand feel just as good when he washing your hair?"

Flinching back Yang's face turned scarlet again at the question, remembering his touch in the bath.

Fuming, she stomped passed Blake muttering, "I just let my guard down." She followed after the blonde chuckling.

Jaune had slipped into unconsciousness after Pyrrha had tackling him off Yang. The girls waited around him patiently to hear what Weiss could make of the situation. Taking a sigh she opened her eyes. She was not panicked but still looked worried.

Standing up and wiping the dirt off her dress. "While this is just a theory." She Began, the others leaning in to hear. "That light that flashed for an instance must have been his Aura. He probably depleted his reserves in that attempt to lift Yang, allowing the poison that it was suppressing to take effect. Which is why he is only showing signs of it now." She paused looking at the others shocked expressions.

"So not only was his Aura used to help him train but it was also fighting the poison at the same time! How much does he have?!" Ruby shouted looking at the knight. His breathing was steady but strained.

"I need to observe him more in my room where I have the proper equipment. But I refuse to let him in before he takes a bath and washes that smell off." Weiss finished pinching her nose and turning her face away.

There was a mix of looks Weiss received but her defiance was clear. "He's not in danger as he was moving fine just before his Aura was used up. At most he will be out for a few minutes but he will wake up with some control of his movement. As long as he can breathe it's not a problem."

Coughing to get everyone's attention. "So who is going to help me wash him than?" Pyrrha asked blushing brighter to volunteering to wash the knight.

Ruby instantly raised her hand to volunteer as well but Weiss grabbed it and dragged her off saying she needed her help prepping for the idiot.

Blake was confused Yang did not make a fuss or joke as her sister was dragged off by their jealous friend, but she was not standing next to Blake anymore.

Yang had to clear her head and gain control of herself, she had planned to only tease the knight but the sudden contact made her feel weird. This warmth she felt from him and only him, was familiar yet new. She was interested before in what Pyrrha saw in him and wanted to see it too. But as she thought Yang realized she was having fun. The others would not challenge her the same way he did, not embarrass her like she did to so many others. He was a challenge, someone that stood and thought he could beat her. And she wanted to beat him. She would have another go at him but for now she needed to burn off some steam.

Hearing the crashing sound of trees falling over with the distinct cries of wondering Grimm howling in pain. Blake chased after her, and pitied anything in her path. In her haste Blake had left Pyrrha with an unconscious boy in her arms.

Seeing she was alone, her hand hovered over his head brushing a few stray blonde locks from his face she could not help but stare before remembering what she had to do. Gently shift her hold on him before picking him up bridal style. With the change of position Jaune's head was now resting against Pyrrha's chest. His content face resting against her she could not help but yet out quite squeak at the knight sudden contact to her chest. Remembering the seriousness of the moment she rushed inside. Pushing open the bath's door it dawned on her what she had to do. Contemplating on how to undress the boy while keeping his modesty. The knight let out a grown as he slowly opened his eyes. His vision still spinning he reached his hand to hold his head still, but his hand fell. Pyrrha suddenly felt her rear being brushed over by his hand. Shocked she dropped the poor guy onto the floor.

Covering her mouth and blush she let out a small "Sorry."

He responded with a more painful grown.

After the throbbing pain stopped, Pyrrha explained what happened. Leaving out the part of his Aura and replacing it with his adrenalin to suppressing the poison, while fatigued was the cause of his collapse. He sighed hearing how Weiss did not want to help if her room smelled after annoyed him but he did not say.

Still to disoriented and flustered he accepted the lie. Attempting to get off the floor caused him to stagger. Seeing him struggle he was caught by Pyrrha who supported him wrapping an arm around his waist.

"Thanks." He replied looking away from her. "Sorry, I let myself get this weak."

"N-no it's no problem really, we're a team now so it natural to help each other."

"Yea team." He spoke a little sour in his tone. Pyrrha frowned hearing his words.

Guiding him into the bath she set him against the wall. Near the sitting shower Yang was using the other day. Handing him a towel to cover himself she left without a word. Sitting up he rotated his shoulders and stretched his arms. "Plenty of control here." Looking down to his feet. His toes twitched slightly but was dead weight none the less. "Not so much there."

Sighing, he removed his cloths tossing then close to the door. He then made his way to the stool taking the set before starting the water. Filling a small wooden bucket with water and soap he was about to start when he heard someone behind him.

Turning around he was surprised to see Pyrrha stand there, her one hand behind her back grabbing the other as she blushed unconformable before him. Her body was covered in a towel hugging her tightly. She avoid his face looking away her own matching the color of her hair, Jaune realized he was staring and turned to face the shower head in front of him.

"What the hell is she doing here?!" Jaune thought screaming in his mind. Visibly flinching as he heard her kneel down behind him.

"While I would normally never do this, the possible chance you might fully lose control over your body is too much of a threat, plus it would be faster to help you clean up so you can go to Weiss sooner." Pyrrha stated as if the line was rehearsed.

Hearing that she was not going to try anything weird, Jaune relaxed. Surprising Pyrrha who was fidgeting behind him. Taking another bucket he slid it back to her with a clean hand towel.

Pyrrhas dipped the cloth into the warm soapy water, gently she reached to hold onto his shoulder. Jumping back as her hand touched his skin like it was hot metal. She then placed it and began to wash the sweet and dirt form his form. The thin fabric did muffle the feeling of his muscle as she worked but the strength beneath the skin was evident.

While she had no problem showing off her body before while her helmet was still covering her face she was expose now. Impure thought rushed her mind, probably caused by Blake's stupid smut. But she could not faulted here. He needed her and she had to remind focused.

Covering his back with the soapy water, she closed her eyes to ignore the view. Her mind started to drift as she worked. In her mind she was looking into his body. She thought back to what drew her to him in the first place. At the center of his core was a light, she saw hidden behind his eyes. It was strong, but gentle. Her body was leaning closer and closer to his back. Interested at first to see more of the light, she pushed him to his limits in the cave, earning her the scar on her side. But she had got what she wanted.

Returning to the Order to deliver her report, information was given to her after telling of her new claimed.

It changed how she saw him yet she could not tell him the truth, at least not yet. She had to let things play out but the desire to get close was a torture to resist. But she had to be patient and not rush things between them. To keep him with her and the others she had to force him to stay, even if she had to threaten his friends to do so. That would not help improve things but it gave her and the others time to be with him.

"P-Pyrrha?" Hearing her name, she opened her eyes. Screaming internally as she found herself pressing against his back.

Jumping away. "S-sorry! I-I was just finishing up and was not paying attention. Yea…" She forced the words out.

Grabbing the bucket of water she dumped it on his back, washing away the suds but also silence him.

She then saw the marks decorated across his back. She had been too lost in her thoughts at the start to see them before and the suds had blocked them. But now she could see the various marks in size around his body. While she had never got hit before the other girls would from time to time. And even then their Aura would have blocked the attack and healed the wound before it could scar. But Jaune was not like them, he had his Aura still locked. All the battles he fought showed and the reality of how vulnerably he had been sunk in.

Her hand brushed her own waist feeling the rough skin. She then looked at his shouldered. She had marked him the same as he had marked her.

"Does it still hurt?" Pyrrha asked, she could not hide the guilt in her voice.

Jaune kept his head straight not turning back to look at her. His hand moved to touch the mark covering it.

"Does yours?" He asked back.

She paused. "Not really…"

There was a silence between them. Pyrrha wanted to leave but his laugh stopped her.

"Ha-ha. I'm surprised I even got the hit in." She was shocked he let out a chuckle. "Though I was fighting the other girls, and the fang, and the grimm, and that weird hybrid thing too so I was not in my top form. But still you were… you all were on a different level."

"Jaune…" She started.

"No. Do not give me your pity I lost because I was weak. " He cut her off, dumping the water over his body to remove last of the suds. "Even if I must train with you and the others I will get stronger and I will make sure to not lose again. Who knows I might even reach your level and kick you back down with the rest of us." He turned to face her, giving a defiant look she notice the light in his eyes again.

Her arms covered her waist as a shiver rushed up her spine. The pity and guilt before was gone. With the weight lifted she moved closer to him her face inches from his, she smirked not backing down from the challenge he stated. "Big talk, I look forward to making you into a worthy fighter that could actually make me try for once."

They both grinned.

"Thou I will give credit to whoever trained you last." Pyrrha broke the stare first leaning back. "They must have been good to get you to at least this level."

Jaune huffed at the backhanded compliment, crossing his arms he leaned back too. "You will be surprised how living with seven warrior's sister can make you stay in top… shape… Shit."

Jaunes face went pale, a look of fear covered his face as he was visibly shacking.

Pyrrha did not know what had happened new but in a blur she was standing up facing Jaune who was holding her shoulders in a tight grip. His head was looking at the floor.

"I forgot." He whispered.

"Y-you forgot?" She repeated trying to collect herself.

"I FORGOT ABOUT MY SISTER!" He shouted looking up at her in terror.

"What about your sisters!" She asked again trying to understand.

Calming down Jaune almost begged. "Listen very closely to what I'm about to say." Pyrrha shock her head as she listened.

"My family cannot know I am dead or in trouble. I need you to set up a message route for me and my family. I know this is sounding fishy but they have to know I and still alive at least. If you must you can filter what I say but you got to let me get a letter to them. Jaune was pleading now.

Pyrrha thought he looked kind of cute like this, almost like a hurt animal that needed help.

Putting on a neutral face she paused to consider the request. He was worried about his family thinking him dead would cause them pain and sadness. But at the same time this could be a trap.

"You swear by your oath you will not give away anything, about us and the Fang?" She asked.

"Yes I swear, I will even let you write it for me I just need to let them know I'm still alive." Jaune answered.

"Huh, very well I will make preparations for you to talk to your family. But you will have to follow exactly what I Eeep." She tried to sound harsh but the sudden hug from him caught her off guard.

"Thank you." His whispered into her ear.

Blushing redder than her hair she froze in his arms, but slowly she moved to hold him back.

His body was no longer tense but was relaxing in her embrace.

A little too relaxed.

His strength gone and he slumped to the floor.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha cried leaning over the knight. Her hand by his face she could not feel or hear him breathing.

So Again I Am So Sorry I had not posted this sooner. I was just being an idiot and was worried over stupid stuff. In short I rewrote this chapter three times trying to get it right in my own eyes when any of the chapters would have been fine, I was just trying to hard instead of just writing.

In other news I did start my news story the Boy that Smelled of Gold as a little jump start to my old way of writing. So if you all want to check it out go ahead.

But onto the questions in this story. I do apologies if i do not explain or write what i want to be expressed in the story properly still a novice to the writing thing . So many ask how Jaune can be so cool be a slave to the girls, but he really is not a slave. He is more bound to them than anything else. HE does not have to work or do anything degrading for them but they are his seniors and training masters. And while he does have the threat of Ren hanging over his head its more of a warning to stay behaved.

Pyrrha and some of the other girls want to add him to the group as a full member of the team but as they are still not sure of his loyalties yet its a shaky bridge to cross. But lets just say things might change for Jaune and how he sees the world.

As Always I want to thank everyone for reading the story and sticking around with me. I really like writing as it is an outlet for me to vent and just have fun. Plus it makes me feel like im doing something worth wild. Please feel free to comment, review, question, or just hit me up with a pm. Thanks again and I hope to see you all in the next chapter.

(I will make sure to post faster)
