It was bitter sweet really. Normally Nora would be the best or worst person to share a bed with. At times she would be clinging to his side smiling in her sleep peacefully warming and cuddling him. On the other hand, her night time shifting would somehow make his groin her new pillow and his face a place to dig her feet against for warmth. But he would not trade her for the world. At best she would soon return flopping down beside him taking his body against hers as she fell back to sleep. At worst she would tackle and drag him out of bed off on a new adventure or new idea she dreamed the night before. Which, when neither happened her absence worried him.

Feeling last night's hour long "quickly" as she puts it, his body protested getting out but he pushed passed it. Covering himself in the new robes Nora had bought for him at the market, he made his way to the kitchen hoping her morning hunger brought her there. Ingredients were out and scattered around the room, pots and bowls already used to mix the batter and sauces. Ren sighed shaking his head at the mess he would have to clean up but smiled seeing how Nora had tried to make breakfast for him.

Her voice soon got his attention she was by the front door talking to someone, and with the way her normal bubbly and warm tone was replaced with a softer and defensive one, his worries grew. As he approached Nora's voice was getting louder almost shouting, while the guest answered politely but did not back down.

Outside

"It's too soon! Ren's not fully healed, he is still adjusting back to letting his aura be free and letting it flow. He was holding his aura back for so long that it's a struggle to let it out of his body!" Nora shouted stomping her foot down. "It's only been a month since we found him and you want him to go back to pretending to be normal. To suppress his soul again?!"

"I know how long you waited and hoped for this moment Nora. You used to tell all of us stories from your childhood, and now that you found him it must seem like you still dreaming but please help us with this." Pyrrha asked. "And we're not asking him to suppress again, in fact we want to help him release it."

"But!" Nora tried but was cut off by Pyrrha.

"He is not going away, we just want him to help Jaune out with the basics. He already unlocked his aura and Jaune trust's him more than anyone here. We just…"

Ren hearing Jaune's name stepped out from the door. Both girls silent as he walked to them. Nora not looking at him with a pout on her face, while Pyrrha gave a soft if not awkward smile and wave.

"How is Jaune?" He asked his words calm but sharp.

Pyrrha looked to the side before back to him. "He is progressing, the other girls are starting to warm up to him and while it might have been rough the first few days, weeks. He started training and has impressed them."

Ren continued to stare down the Spartan but she did not flinch. "So the booster you gave him is working well, no side effects?" There she did flinch.

"The booster is working to help is aura along, but it was more effective than we thought." Rens eyes narrowed. "While not fatal, (as far as we know). It worked too well and puts a strain on his muscles and nerves to the point of him having slight, paralyses." Nora snorted covering her face, Ren looking over to her as she turned away whistling casually.

"Which is why we want you to help him balance his aura and learn control. The breathing and meditation is basic level but the start of the foundation to mastering aura, and while we would like him to have more trust in us, recent events have made things tense. So seeing a friend as promised and having you work with him to get better and also help yourself. It is a win, win for all of us." Pyrrha finished looking at Ren with a more natural smile.

He turned to Nora who was still not looking at either of them. But she did not argue or fight against the idea. He was not happy lying to his friend but with how fate set them in motion he knew it might be for the best if Jaune gained better control of his aura. And it would be good to see him again.

"I will help." Pyrrha smiled while Nora tensed up gripping her shirt. "On the condition I get to see him and talk with him first." Ren stepped towards Pyrrha. "I will have a few other conditions but those can wait."

Pyrrha again did not show any discomfort but stood there listening to him. "That is fine, as long as he gets to see you and how we keep to our word then things will work out. Is a few days enough time for you to prepare?"

Ren nodded.

"Then I will see you soon. But if you have any plans that might require our help please ask. While we might not have started off well, I hope we can still be friends." Pyrrha smiled and reached out to shack his hand. Ren hesitated for a moment but took her hand. After what he had seen in the caves, and Nora filling in the gaps he knew that while it might seem cruel the world was much more.

Pyrrha waved to Nora who returned the gesture without looked up. Pyrrha put her hood over her head and departed into the woods. How any of them get around without getting lost was beyond him. But the door to their house slamming behind him told Ren his peaceful day would have to wait.

In the forest

Pyrrha was making her way back to her teams home, when she stopped. The bush to her left rustled as a figure emerged their face covered by shadow. Reaching for her blade a voice stopped her.

"Looking a little tense, Pyrrha. Your so tense I had to stop my normal greeting." The female voice spoke laughing as the Spartan relaxed.

"Your to blame if one of theses days you little hobby gets you hurt." Pyrrha smiled returning her blade and taking the hood off her head.

"Well you know me, I always get a kick when I see the look on their face when i pop up." They laughed as they stepped out of the shadows orange eye's meeting green.

Back with Ren

Follow behind her, Ren saw her continue were she had left off, making breakfast for them. Sliding behind her she did not tense or pull away but stopped what she was doing when he wrapped his arms around her waist. But her eyes still avoiding his.

"Nora?" He called.

She remained silent, still looking away.

"Nora." He tried again.

Still nothing.

With words not helping he tried a different approach.

Holding her in place his hands soon started to tickle her sides moving up and down her body, her laugh soon broke into his own as she turned around and started to do the same to him. Each tickling the other laughing and trying to gain the upper hand, they soon found each other on the floor gasping for air as they recovered.

Ren was under her as she would always end up on top. But the laughter ended as tears hit his face and laughter turned to sobbing. Pulling her in close Ren let her cry against his shoulder. After she calmed down she finally looked back at him when he called her name.

"I'm sorry Ren. I know he is your friend and I saw him risk his life to help and fight with you and I hurt you and cause you trouble." She spoke struggling with the words pouring from her mouth.

"Nora."

"But we just found each other again! I don't want to lose you!"

"Nora. I'm not going anywhere."

"You say that but what if…"

His hand came up to cups her face, his thumb rubbing the tear a side. "I promised, to never leave your side remember. How could I leave my queen to be by herself?"

Stopping, she closed her eyes and calmed down, taking his hand and holding it. She giggled at the familiar touch going back to when they were kids. They were playing and she had fell pushing Ren down into the grass, thinking she had hurt him, she began to cry knowing that he would hate her.

But when she looked down she saw only a smile, the same smile that was looking up at her now. Echoing the same promise they made. "I promise as long as you are my queen I will stay by your side. No matter what." Sealing the promise with a kiss on the cheek, Ren took her lips this time.

"Better?" He asked.

"Better." She replied with a hug.

The two stayed on the floor holding each other close. Until a growl broke the silence.

"Hungry? We did skip breakfast." Ren joked from the familiar sound.

Although the color from his face soon drained.

Nora nuzzled against his cheek nibbling his neck and coming close to his ear. Whispering, "Hungry, yes. But for food not so much~~"

And I'm Back! Hello everyone it is good to be home. I apologize for my absence, but I am glad I took a break from writing. I was not having fun and it felt more like a chore than anything else. But I felt the twitch calling be back and with the new season of RWBY coming back I thought this would be a good time to resume. So RWBY The Broken Fang is back and I will be turning out chapter again. I might be a little rusty but I feel good writing again.

Now I did not really edit the story so much (or at all) But now that I started I will be changing a few things. As you might notice. The poison is actually a medicine to boost aura, and I will be changing a few interactions in the story. In short the girls will be a little more tough on Jaune, and he will be a little less agreeable with them. I will say that how some people had an issue with how "easy" Jaune was acted around the girls had a part with me getting tired of writing but I giving it another run. So I will only do minor changes with the past chapters but more or less the way things are with Jaune getting to know the girls personalities and maybe a few taking an interest in him and exploring how that develops will be the meat of the story or at least in this ark. The plan is to post new chapters while editing the older chapters over time.

I want to say that I am still relatively new to the writing thing, and if the story has a few plot holes or issues. I do not intent to do so. But I missed writing and I missed you all. So while its been awhile. Thanks for reading i hoped you enjoy it and I will see you all in the next chapter!

(Ps I'm putting the alignment in the center to see how that turns out so tell me what you think)
