Chapter 1

Jaune Arc dint know how to feel, well he really did, he was confused, fatigued, and damn confused as to what was happening. One minute he was in the decisive battle to stop Salem with team RWBY and the rest of his team, the next he had sacrificed himself to let Ruby get the final hit on Salem to kill her. He had heard the bloodcurdling final scream of Salem before she died then everything went black, he had died or well he assumed he had died anyway what else was there to think he had taken the blow fully expecting, what he wasn't expecting however was to wake up as a child.

So again, Jaune Arc was confused.

'what's going on' Jaune thought looking around at his surroundings, he was in a room but not a hospital room it looked more like a kids room he had come to this very clever conclusion by the childish drawings in crayon that were hug up around the room them and the toys that were stuffed in boxes. 'Where am I?' jaune began to get up well he tried to but ended up falling onto the floor with a loud crash 'oh, crap!' Jaune immediately snapped his head to the door and just like he expected he heard panicked footsteps coming towards his door 'someone's coming what do I do, do I hide?, get back in bed?' he was so distracted in his turmoil that it was to late to do anything when the door suddenly open and standing there was his mother ,this had surprised him this wasn't someone he had expected to see, his mother looked younger than he had remembered seeing her last blond hair and strikingly blue eyes that looked to be shining "Jeanne Arc what are you doing out of bed young lady, you are meant to be resting I don't care what you say you have a fever and are sick get back into bed right now" That whole sentence had absolutely flummoxed Jaune however "wha-, oh right sorry mum I'll- I'll just get back into bed now" jaune had stammered out his inner thoughts where much different though 'what's happening what's going on, hold on did she just say young lady?' he was again cut out of his thoughts by his mum "good, now you stay in bed and rest I will bring you some food at lunch time if you are feeling better then ok?" Jaune was still utterly confused and was sitting there with his mouth hung open "huh- oh uh yeah ok mum ill stay in bed" he managed to get out standing up and climbing back into the bed he had just fallen out of "good ill be back in a little while to check on you okay honey" his mother said walking back out of the room and shutting the door.

It took a good five minutes before Jaune was able to think again 'alright what the hell's going on I remember fighting and taking a what should have been fatal hit why am I back at home' he looked around again finally noticing his body 'Strike that last statement why in the hell am I a child, I don't want to be a child again, I'd finally gotten over my awkward teenage stage and was a good fighter and everything" he pouted and remembered something his mother had said when she walked into the room 'hold up when mum came storming in here she definitely said young lady, oh don't tell me' he looked down at himself And looked underneath his pants ' oh no, no, no, I'm not only a child I'm a girl what's going on? what happened? What did I do to deserve this?' he or rather she now had finally had time to investigate and was not enjoying what she had found 'I need to investigate more, firstly where am I? and when am I? I'm a child again, sure, and my mum looked younger but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm back in the past right? And if I am in the past, what do I do?' Jaune was cut out of her thought yet again this time it was a male voice "princess I'm coming in, ok?" Jaune was astounded 'That's definitely dads voice but he's definitely never spoken that softly to me' it took Jaune a few seconds to realize why 'no way all I had to do for him to speak so kindly to me was to be a girl damn my sisters had it nice' "Princess?" her dads voice came again this time jaune answered "oh yes dad come in" and the door opened revealing a man with sandy blond hair and purple eyes looking directly at her with what seemed to be worry "you feeling any better today princess?" 'ah right mum had said that she had been ill' " yes dad I'm feeling better today" as she had said it the worry had changed and dimmed down it was still there but not as much as before "are you sure you're not as energetic as usual" his dad asked again 'maybe my sisters didn't have it as good as I though this is over worrying if anything' "yes dad I'm fine just still a little tired is all" she huffed out whilst rolling her eyes that seemed to do the trick as all worry was snuffed out and was replaced with amusement and humor "oh that's good princess your brothers were starting to get worried and you know how protective they can get." Jaunes eyes got wide as dinner plates and for what seemed to be the hundredth time today jaune was rendered utterly confused and speechless.

Time skips 2 months.

It had been 2 months since Jaune or rather now it was Jeanne had woken up from dying and she had collected a lot of information that she needed,

first was the world situation she had seemingly gone back in time before Beacon Academy which was what she had initially thought after realizing she was a nine-year-old child again,

second was finding out what the changes meant by that was why was she a girl now, she had come to the conclusion that it was a parallel dimension or something of the sorts where the main problems of the word where still the same but there were also inconsistency's with her old world, this had been a hard one to conclude but that was the only explanation Jeanne had, for example she now had seven brothers instead of seven sisters and all of them are older instead of having three older and four younger, though it was weird all of them still had the same names and same sort of similarities to her old sisters now turned brothers like how Saphron had just told the family that he had met Terra and they had plans to move to argus soon.

One of the biggest changes was her age in total she was the same age as ruby but that was fine if ruby could get in two years early with the experience, she had Jeanne could defiantly get in with the experience she had as Jaune.

With all of this information Jeanne had come to the conclusion that she could relax or at least for now she had experience this time enough to fight cinder at the fall of beacon and stop Pyrrha from her untimely death that had admittedly brought Jeanne to tears when she figured this out she had a chance to save her first love and she would do it even if it killed her. Maybe it was selfish her, but she didn't plan on changing the time line to much or at all really they beat Salem last time and she could do it again this time and make small changes that made her and her friends happier this time and that was all that mattered the her.

Time skip 4 months.

It had been six months total to what Jeanne had now dubbed the 'awakening' and it was her tenth birthday he wasn't going to lie the new change of being the only daughter in the family and having seven older brothers was great she was doted on by her brothers and dad and even had a close bond with her mum, granted they all seemed to be a little too overprotective but in a few years when she had built up her body she will be able to beat them into submission if they take it to far, god she was starting to sound like a tsudere next thing you know she's another fist year Wiess no one needed that.

"Ok princess, have you decided on what you want for your birthday?" his dad spoke out after Jeanne had blown out the candles on her cake, after some thought Jeanne had come to a conclusion "I want to become a huntress" she stated bluntly, everyone in her family stared at her dumbfounded "well that's a good goal honey but you are a little to young to be making decisions like that maybe give it a couple more years yeah?" her mum had managed to come out of her shock and say. Jeanne stared at her with iron clad will and a stern gaze or as stern as a cute now ten-year-old child could give "nope, I'm going to be a huntress its decided."

A/N; this is my first fanfic and my first time writing really so I'm sure there will be lots of eras such as grammar and spellings and maybe a little inconsistency in the writing but I'm trying so it's good enough for me :)
