Chapter 14:
Slowly, Pyrrha Nikos opens her eyes.
She sees Jaune's blue eyes looking over her body through the changing room's mirror reflection. Her body flushes with heat as his eyes roam over her body from her foot to her hips, then her chest, and finally locking eyes with her own.
"Jaun-" Before she can even call out his name, he closes his eyes and interrupts her from behind.
"Did you know that your black hair and cat ears makes you look like Blake a little bit?" He spits out rapidly from out of nowhere.
She receives a stab of pain from that comment. Here she is, nearly half naked in front of him and he thinks of another woman? Before she can even agonize over her pain, he interrupts her thoughts again.
"Pyr, I don't want to perv on any of our friends."
That just made her confused, with her brows furrowed, she tried to think of what Jaune meant by that. She is interrupted by him yet again.
"If I'm gonna see someone, I want to see them as themselves." They both blush at that. If Pyrrha is interpreting his words right, then that means he wants to see her as herself! Not with a disguise that looks like Blake. But just to be sure she asks a question.
"Then do you want to see Blake naked?" Pyrrha blushes, not willing to put her name in the question yet, she's not that bold….yet.
Jaune laughs hysterically at that question while blushing.
"Pyr, I think you forgot that I'm a young, healthy, 17 year-old male. I'd be happy to see a beautiful woman naked." Jaune laughs out hysterically.
Before he can even stop laughing, Pyrrha crosses a milestone. She asks a question that would certainly change how he views her.
"...Then do you want to see Pyrrha naked?" Pyrrha asks quietly, referring to herself in the third person. It's as close to an indirect verbal confession she can manage. Implying that she wants to know if he wants to look at her or not.
Jaune's hysterical laugh chokes at that and falls silent with his eyes still closed.
"...No."
That hurt her more than she thought it would. That he would look at Blake and not her. With her breath caught in her throat, she's just a tiny ways away from crying. But yet it seems Jaune's streak of not letting her agonize over pain and interrupting her is not over yet.
"I'm not worthy of her….not yet." Jaune says quietly, referring to Pyrrha in the third person to put some distance between them metaphorically. Pyrrha was just about ready to tear her hair off and rant about her status as a champion before hearing the last part.
Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Meaning that it can be!
"What about when you're worthy?" She says quietly, anticipating Jaune's reply.
"..I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when we get there. But I have to get there first." Jaune responds shyly.
Sighing to herself that she still has to wait before getting a chance with Jaune, she turns around and looks at him. Well, she was already thinking the same thing wasn't she? Jaune Arc is not yet ready for Pyrrha Nikos, but he could be. Now that she has a moment to calm down, she at least knows there's a chance for them to be more than friends in the future.
Still, Pyrrha won't let it end here. She'll tease him here and there, give him a glimpse of what could be in the future and he might just be more motivated to work harder… Proper motivation and all that.
"What about Pyrene?" She asks coyly, looking at Jaune's face while he still has his eyes closed.
"Pyrene…What about her?" Jaune gulps, nervous at where this is going.
"She's not Blake, and she's not Pyrrha. Would you like to see Pyrene naked?" Pyrrha asks slowly, taking pleasure in seeing Jaune's face blush.
"I-" Before Jaune can even reply, Pyrrha interrupts him. It's her turn to interrupt now.
"I bet you do, after all…you are a young, healthy, 17 year-old male, aren't you?" Pyrrha teases out slowly.
Making Jaune gape, gulp, and flounder for a response as his blush intensifies. Pyrrha laughs lightly at that. She doesn't know what's come over her, but teasing Jaune and making him embarrassed lights a small fire in her core.
"I..Pyr! You're teasing me!" Jaune whisper-yells with a blush from having been exposed and his own words from before thrown back at him.
"Am I? I didn't notice." Pyrrha laughs lightly at that again, there's something to be said about being able to laugh with your crush inside a changing room and with you, being almost topless.
"Pyrrha…" Jaune whines, sending a tingle down Pyrrha's spine.
"It's Pyrene, remember? No Pyrrha Nikos here. Still, you could open your eyes, Jaune. You've already seen me, I saw you look. This isn't so different from seeing me in a bikini, it's not a big deal." She replies boldly with a light blush on her cheeks.
"Are you sure?" Jaune asks slowly, unsure, nervous, and just part excited with his heart beating through his chest.
It might be because she already knows he's seen her, or maybe she's still riding the high from knowing that they could be more than friends in the future, or even just because she wants to tease Jaune, but Pyrrha replies as boldly and confidently as she can.
"I'm sure."
Jaune Arc opens his eyes and looks.
Jaune Arc was standing there, eyes wide and jaws dropped.
His heart was already beating hard the moment he entered the changing room. The reason? PYRRHA.
Her questions from before already unbalanced him. Did he want to see Blake naked? Of course he did! But he wasn't going to say that out loud so he chose an indirect answer. Every man wants to see a beautiful woman naked.
Then she asked him if he wanted to see HER naked! Her, Pyrrha Nikos! Now that, needed an answer with more thought. So he told her the truth, Jaune Arc isn't worthy of Pyrrha Nikos…But the Vytal Festival Champion, Jaune Arc, from his dream could be.
His own answer surprises even him. While he knew Pyrrha was beautiful, and he's recently been made aware that she's also hot when he took a peek, he didn't even try to see them being together as a couple before.
Now that the thought has been put into his mind, he thinks about it seriously. Does he want to see Pyrrha naked?...Yes. Does he see the both of them being together-together?...They could be….But he needs to be worthy of her first. Does he want to be together-together?...A question that needs more thinking about.
While he was thinking of all those questions, his partner drops another bomb! Does he want to see Pyrene naked?! Is she inviting him?! Before he can even reply, she uses his own words against him about being a young healthy male! Now he knows Pyrrha's just teasing him, but it doesn't make the blush he has now disappear.
Just when he thought they could slowly deescalate so he can leave the room, knowing Pyrrha's just teasing him, she drops another bombshell. She's Pyrene right now, and she calls him out that he already looked earlier! Saying things like it's like a bikini and no big deal. She wants him to look! That in itself cements a thought in Jaune's mind.
She's open to me seeing her…. She wants me to see her….She likes me.
With that thought running through his mind, a blush on his face, and his heart about to explode from the rapid series of events.
Jaune Arc opens his eyes and looks.
What he sees is a vision. Tight Jeans showcasing her shapely ass, flat stomach with a hint of abs, black soft looking bra hugging her breasts. Beautiful. That's what she is.
"This isn't so different from seeing me in a bikini, it's not a big deal Jaune."
Bullshit! This is different from a bikini! Its a big fucking deal!
He stands there speechless as he looks over his partner.
"Like what you see?" He can hear Pyrrha ask with a smirk as she crosses her arms under her chest, making them look even bigger!
That's another thing! Pyrrha wasn't this bold, she only smirks in a fight when she's pulled one over you! Even then she has an apologetic expression right after! But now! No, now, Pyrrha is looking at him, with a fucking smirk!
He could only nod in response with a blush as they locked eyes, while he can see that she is also blushing, she still keeps that smirk on her face.
"See, there's no Pyrrha here. Just Pyrene. And I don't know why you even thought of Blake, I have cat ears right now she doesn't." Pyrrha says with a coy smile. Her voice gives him shivers as he looks at his partner's nearly topless form.
He laughs nervously and looks away at that.
"Jaune? What's with that laugh?" Pyrrha asks confusedly.
"Uhm… Blake's a cat faunus." Jaune laughs out nervously
That unexpected reply seems to knock Pyrrha out from her bold persona.
"What? How did no one notice?! "
"She… hides her ears under her bow?...I…uhm….found out she was a faunus after reading a newspaper about the original White Fang for Doctor Oobleck's assignment."
"..Her bow? That's so obvious, it's ridiculous no one else found out earlier." Pyrrha sighs out as she uses one hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.
"Trust me, I had the same reaction."
"Wait! Is she affiliated with the White Fang?" Pyrrha suddenly asks worriedly.
"I don't know. The newspaper I found showed her when she was about 8 years old. Her parents were the original founder, but the White Fang now is very different back then. She might have already left the organization for all we know."
"Well, we'll get to meet Team RWBY later, maybe we could ask her then."
"We'd have to feel her out first to see if she's still White Fang or not."
"Speaking of which, you still need to fit your clothes before we head for lunch then meet Team RWBY."
"Right now?!" Jaune whisper-yells, shocked at Pyrrha's suggestion.
"Yes? I don't see the problem, you're seeing me topless, I think it's just fair if I see you too." Pyrrha replies boldly with a grin.
"I.. ugh.. What… You're not topless!" He finally spits out after a few moments of floundering, looking at Pyrrha aghast.
"Oh? Did you want me to take my bra off too?" She replies as she moves her hands behind her, pushing her chest out.
"No!" Jaune replies, covering his blushing face with hands.
"Relax Jaune. I was just teasing you." Pyrrha laughs at him at that.
"You're getting better at doing that. What's with you today?" Jaune grumbles with a blush on his face, suddenly remembering Pyrrha is still only wearing her bra for a top.
Pyrrha is silent at that question, before finding the perfect answer she can throw at Jaune.
"Maybe I'm taking a page out of your own book."
"What do you mean?" Jaune tilts his head in confusion and looks at her again.
"Maybe I want to do some things differently today." She replies, calling back to Jaune's reason for his change earlier this week.
"Do you think it's doing good for me? Like it did for you?" Pyrrha continues coyly, looking at him with half-lidded eyes.
He gulps at that tone. But seeing that she herself has a light blush, he knows she isn't as unaffected as she seems. He knows she's just as embarrassed at him, but he also knows she's willing to stand her ground.
He gets a feeling that if he wanted to, they might get to do something irreversible. Something good and pleasurable that will change their relationship. But to him… something like that should be done with someone you really love, not with someone in a disguise or alternate identity, but someone as themself….If… he and Pyrrha really do that… then they should do it as Jaune and Pyrrha, not Jaune and Pyrene.
"I…. Just go wear a shirt and wait for me outside please." Jaune pleads.
"Alright Jaune. I'm going, I'm going." Pyrrha laughs at him.
He breathes a sigh of relief as he sees Pyrrha grab a shirt and wear it. Before she moves outside she asks him.
"Did you enjoy the show at least?" She asks with a smirk.
"Pyr!" He can only reply indignantly with a blushing face.
Pyrrha laughs at him at that before finally moving outside.
With a sigh of relief he moves to take his clothes off so he can finally fit the ones he chose. Complicated thoughts fly around his head as he changes clothes.
Pyrrha likes me…. I'm publicly pursuing Weiss…. How does she stand it?
He sighs and thinks he really needs to have a serious talk with Pyrrha about this someday.
Plus we have Blake that may or may not still be White Fang. Just another complication in his life.
Finally wearing his first set of clothes, he makes a checklist to list the things he has to tackle.
These clothes first.
Blake later.
Talk with Pyrrha someday…
Win against Weiss and get a date?
Great, the list looks like he's trying to form a harem. Ha! He wishes he could pull that off. The way his life is going, he'd probably be stabbed by Weiss and die during their training. Whatever feelings he might have for Pyrrha, and whatever he currently feels for Weiss, he'll have to sort all of it out soon.
Calm down Jaune, one thing at a time, fit clothes first, then think about mortality later.
With that morbid thought in mind, he walks out of the changing room and sees three pairs of eyes looking at him.
"Shit"
Pyrrha can't believe what she just did!
She exposed herself to Jaune! Indirectly confessed to him! Teased him! And even joked about taking her bra off in front of him! If he said yes, she would have probably really taken it off! That's how swept she was by the flow inside that changing room! She was so shameless! So Bold! It was exciting and hot.
Her emotions were so high that she probably would have squealed if she wasn't in public. She can barely stop herself from dancing! She's so distracted that she doesn't see the two people watching her. She only notices them after hearing one of their voices.
"Hey Pyr-Pyr. Fancy meeting you here."
Pyrrha freezes at that voice. Her blushing cheeks earlier turn into a pale white color now as the blood leaves her face. She turns towards the voice and sees Nora Valkyrie grinning at her like a cat that caught the bird.
"Nora." Pyrrha says shakily.
"So, is Jaune-Jaune still inside? You didn't rough him up too much did you?" Nora asks with a grin.
Pyrrha blushes at the implication of what they did inside the changing room. While she wishes that something did happen, she's already satisfied with the fact that Jaune could think about them in terms of more than friends in the future.
"Nora, we don't share our friends'... intimate moments out in public." Ren interrupts from behind Nora. Pyrrha can see that he is also blushing at what he thinks happened.
"Nothing happened!" Pyrrha finally manages to say, still blushing at the misunderstanding.
"Are you sure Pyr-Pyr? Because I saw you go in first, model some clothes for Fearless Leader, then he goes inside, and you take some time to come out alone. Anything you wanna tell us hmm?" Nora asks with a grin. All three of them outside the changing room are blushing now because of the implication of what could have happened in the changing room.
Before Pyrrha could even reply, Jaune comes out of the room and sees all three of them.
"Shit"
Excellent summation Jaune.
Team JNPR, arguably the best team in Beacon, was having lunch after buying clothes for Jaune and Pyrrha.
They chose a spot near the docks that caters pancakes. After all, if you're eating with Nora you better prepare yourself for some pancakes. Especially so if she's looking at you like a predator looks at prey. The only way to survive is to appease her inner beast with pancakes.
They sit on a table by the large windows of the local pancake place with one side having Pyrrha and Jaune, and the other having Ren and Nora. The atmosphere feels like they were two teenagers caught doing something indecent by the girl's parents.
"Young man, what have you done with my Pyr-Pyr!?" Nora asks sternly, taking the role of the strict mother interrogating the innocent boy.
"I'm innocent! I did nothing wrong!" Jaune replies, pleading his innocence and looking to Pyrrha for help. Pyrrha is just silently smiling, looking away from him. Damn it! No help from his partner then.
"Lies! That's exactly what a guilty person would say!" Nora smacks the table, he'd think she really was angry if he couldn't see the grin on her face. She's enjoying this.
"Nora, we don't know what happened. It's not safe to assume anything indecent happened." Ren interrupts, blushing at the thought of Jaune and Pyrrha really doing something indecent in a public changing room.
"But Rennyyyy, we already saw that Pyr-Pyr modeled clothes for Jaune-Jaune, then Jaune-Jaune went inside the changing room, and Pyr-Pyr came out later alone, and lastly Jaune-Jaune comes out wearing new clothes. I think we know why he had to change some clothes." Nora argues with a grin on her face, pointing out the series of events which everyone on the table could see would imply something did happen.
All four of them blush at that, but Jaune still argues back, not willing to get his and Pyrrha's names dragged through the mud for doing something they didn't even do.
"WAIT! You were watching us?! How?!" Jaune fires back, trying to change the subject.
That gets Nora's smile to freeze.
"Nora wanted to follow the two of you on your not date-date. We knew you were gonna go to a dust shop at first, but we had to lead a crowd away when we heard someone say Pyrrha Nikos. We only found you in the clothes shop by chance because Nora thought you'd have to buy your clothes from Coco's list there. We wanted to make sure you weren't recognized or mobbed by fans, Pyrene." Ren answers for both of them, looking to both Jaune and Pyrrha who were blushing.
"WAIT, don't change the subject Jaune-Jaune! Anything we should know about you and Pyrrha?" Nora asks with a grin.
He winces at that.
"Nothing happened, Nora. Really, I just asked him to help me out with something and talked about Blake." Pyrrha's the one that answers this time with a smile.
"Nothing?...Why would you talk about Blake?" Nora asks confusedly, then she notices Pyrrha's smile.
"Sorry for bringing it up Pyr." Nora winces and gives Jaune a hard look.
Damn, why does it feel like I just rejected Pyrrha and now am about to get my ass kicked by Nora?
Jaune grimaces at Nora's expression and looks to Ren for help. Ren just shrugs at him, also not knowing what to do. His savior comes in the form of his partner informing Nora of what they were talking about.
"Oh no, Jaune didn't do anything wrong. I was teasing him and he was a gentleman." Pyrrha blushes at the apparent misunderstanding.
"Blake's a cat faunus and she may or may not be involved with the White Fang." Pyrrha continues before anyone can react to her previous statement.
"YOU were teasing HIM?"
"Wait, that's what you're surprised by? Not that Blake is a cat faunus, and possibly be with the White Fang?"
"Silly Jaune-Jaune! Her bow isn't really fooling anyone. Plus whether she is still in the White Fang or not, we could just ask her later."
Both Jaune and Pyrrha are silent at that, not willing to admit they were fooled by the bow in front of Nora. They both look at Ren who just shrugs and replies: "It's Nora."
"I'm more surprised that Pyr-Pyr could tease Jaune-Jaune! Tell me, how'd you do it?" Nora asks as she looks at Pyrrha.
Pyrrha blushes at that as Jaune almost chokes at the water he just took a drink from. Both teens turn to each other and blush at the same time.
"That doesn't matter! What we need to do is feel out Blake later about her relationship with the White Fang." Jaune changes the subject.
"..Feel her out huh? Anything you want to tell me?" Pyrrha asks flatly, eyes narrowing at him.
"Not like that! I mean just see how she reacts to certain situations and topics, you know?" Jaune defends hurriedly as he gets the meaning.
"Relax Jaune, I was just teasing you." Pyrrha laughs at him. Which makes him blush again.
"THAT! Is that how you teased him?"
"Yes Nora, I just wanted to show you that's how I did it." Pyrrha turns to Nora with a smile.
"Since when did you do that with Fearless Leader?"
"Hmm, I just wanted to do some things differently today."
"You pulled a Jaune-Jaune! Renny, we should do something like that too!"
"Hmm, how about you eat something different from pancakes?" Ren teases at Nora.
"NOOOO! Anything but that!"
All of them laugh at that. Surrounded by friends and having a fun time, Jaune's day couldn't get better. He really shouldn't have tempted fate with that.
Ruby Rose was having a great day!
Team RWBY, arguably the best team in Beacon, was walking through the city of Vale together. There's more people here than usual, but that's just expected when preparing for a festival! The important part is they're doing a team activity! As team leader, it was her responsibility to make sure her team was having fun together.
There's only one small problem. Blake and Weiss have been arguing since they got to Vale!
It started with Weiss saying that it is their responsibility as Beacon students to meet the incoming students from Vacuo, with Blake suspecting that Weiss just wanted to spy on them. That was fine, all of them knew that Weiss was kinda being weird about it.
It was fine at first, but it escalated when they passed through near a dust shop that was almost robbed by the White Fang! They saw a couple of police officers investigating a car that the criminals used. They heard them talk about how three White Fang members were stopped by a passing huntsman-in-training before they could rob the store.
Ruby nods in approval of her fellow hero's actions. Stopping robbers from robbing a dust shop is always the right thing to do! After all, it got her into Beacon two years early! Whoever saved that dust shop must be just as heroic and cool as her!
Still, that conversation sparked another argument between Weiss and Blake!
"Hmph! The White Fang. What an awful lot of degenerates! They should just all be arrested and rot in jail." Weiss says haughtily, crossing her arms and turning her nose upward.
"What's your problem?" Blake narrows her eyes at Weiss, and even Ruby has to wince at the incoming argument.
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane." Weiss replies.
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They are a collection of misguided faunus." Blake responds, crossing her own arms.
"Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!"
They see Blake wince at that.
"So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a dust shop in the middle of Vale!"
"Blake's right, it doesn't make sense, maybe they're being forced? The police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago…maybe it was him?" Ruby interrupts, agreeing with Blake that they can't just label all faunus as crazy, but the police did arrest some White Fang members.
"That still doesn't change the fact that White Fang were arrested here. Those faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal." Weiss replies to Blake's growing anger.
Just when Ruby thinks the day will go from great to bad because of the growing argument, a savior calls out to her.
"Hey Ruby!" She hears a familiar voice call out from the distance. She turns and sees Jaune, her eyes widen at that. Finally! Someone who could help her!
Jaune! Quick distract Weiss with your horrible flirting!
"Is that VB? He's looking good…" Ruby hears her sister pipe up from beside her, she turns and sees Yang stare at Jaune with wide eyes.
That's when Ruby notices what Jaune's wearing. She sees him wearing a tight white shirt hugging his body topped off with a tight black leather jacket, with tight black pants to cover his legs.
He looks like one of the models in Yang's Biker Magazines!
Smiling at her sister finally starting to see her best boy friend's positive qualities, Ruby turns to smile at Jaune, and only now sees the one beside him. A black-haired beauty. Ruby's heart would have skipped a beat, but she's more busy staring at the cat ears above the beauty's head.
Ruby then turns to look at Weiss with wide eyes and sees her eyes narrow at Jaune and his new friend. Remember what they were arguing before, Ruby can only think of one thing.
Crap
Pyrrha's day just kept getting better and better!
She managed to spend the morning with Jaune productively. While she's still embarrassed by her shamelessness, she'll take it if it gets her to the point that Jaune could look at her as a woman. She was so distracted by Nora's appearance earlier that it's only sinking in now that judging by Jaune's reactions earlier, she succeeded in making him see her as a woman.
Even if she isn't dating Jaune right now, she's at least made some progress from where she was just a friend yesterday to maybe more than friends in the future someday. That's good enough for her.
Speaking of Nora, even if Pyrrha wanted to spend more time with Jaune alone, she also had fun having lunch with Nora and Ren. It felt like for the first time she truly had real friends. Having lunch together outside, telling stories about their day like when Jaune stopped a robbery, joking and teasing with one another, making plans to hang out more in the future. Stuff like that wasn't something she was able to do before as Pyrrha Nikos the Champion.
But thanks to Jaune, Nora, and Ren, she can finally feel like a normal girl going out with her friends. They even had fun planning a prank on Team RWBY using her alternate identity.
Nora suggested that she play as Jaune's secret girlfriend with a twinkle in her eye. Jaune immediately rejected that with a blushing face, saying that Yang would probably dismember him if she thinks he's two-timing Weiss while looking guiltily at her. Hmph, that's right he should be guilty, but not wanting to see Jaune suffer too much, she just smiles at him silently saying it's okay and she understands feelings are complicated.
In the end, they went with Ren's suggestion of Pyrene being someone Jaune just recently met and taking her around the city since she just moved here from Mistral. An innocent and harmless background, but unknown to Jaune, she wanted to put a spin on it, she wanted to show Team RWBY that Pyrene was someone pursuing Jaune.
With that thought in mind, both Jaune and Pyrrha walk towards Team RWBY in the distance while carrying their shopping bags, with Ren still with Nora in the pancake shop waiting for take-outs. Before she can even introduce herself or cling to Jaune to show her interest, Weiss looks at her with narrowed eyes.
"Excuse me, did you know that that man you are with is attempting to pursue me romantically?" Weiss says hostilely. Both Jaune and Pyrrha are stunned at that.
Her words, when taken another way, could seem like she's laying claim over Jaune. But Pyrrha can see her eyes, Weiss is looking at her with disdain, not because she's with Jaune, but because of something else. Something she can't pinpoint yet.
She's shocked that Weiss could look at her like that. Shocked and furious enough that it makes her blood boil. When you approach a fighter with hostile intent, prepare for the consequences.
THE AUDACITY! WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?!
Before Pyrrha can even answer back, Jaune beats her to the punch, giving her time to cool her head down.
"Uhh..Snow Angel, this is Pyrrha in disguise, call her Pyrene. More importantly, why aren't you in disguise? Aren't you famous too?" Jaune says confusedly.
"Don't call me that! I apologize Pyrene, I overreacted. As for not wearing a disguise, we aim to greet the arriving Vacuoan students to Beacon. It is our responsibility after all."
"She just wants to spy on them." Blake interrupts.
"You can't prove that!" Weiss argues back with Blake, as Jaune and Pyrrha finally greet the two other members of Team RWBY.
"Hey Ruby, hey Yang. I didn't know the two of them argued like this." Jaune greets them.
"Hey Jaune, Hi Pyrene. No. This is new to us too." Ruby replies.
"Wow! Looking good you two!" Yang just greets them back.
Before they can even continue they hear shouting from the docks.
"Thanks for the ride guys! It's been fun!" They see a blonde monkey faunus running away from the sailors as he jumps towards the top of lamp poles.
"You no-good stowaway!"
"Hey! I'm a great stowaway! A no-good stowaway would've been caught!"
"Hey! Get down here this instant!" A familiar voice for Pyrrha shouts towards the monkey faunus.
"HAHAHA! You can't catch me!" The faunus shouts as he jumps down from the lamp poles throwing banana peels at the voice and proceeds to run away from them.
As he barrels past Team RWBY+Jaune and Pyrrha, Pyrrha locks eyes with the blonde faunus and sees him wink at her. Before he can even get past, Pyrrha sees Jaune move to intercept.
"Ha! I got you!" Jaune shouts as he jumps to grab hold of the faunus.
"Too slow!"
The faunus just avoids Jaune's attempt and uses his shoulders to leap over him.
"PYR!" Jaune shouts immediately.
Knowing what to do from nights of working and training together, their teamwork as partners are flawless. Pyrrha runs towards Jaune as he turns toward her, turning his back from the fleeing faunus, and locks his hands in front of him at hip level. Pyrrha uses Jaune's hands as a foothold and jumps just as Jaune leans backwards and throws her to the fleeing faunus. This gives her the height and speed advantage, allowing her to land on top of him.
"Oof! I don't normally complain when I'm under a beautiful woman, but you're kinda ruining my escape here." The blonde monkey faunus says with a smile towards her while laying down on the floor.
Pyrrha blushes at that.
"Flattery won't get you anywhere." She replies as she sits on his back waiting for the others.
"Your name's Pyr huh. I'm Sun, Sun Wukong." He smiles with a blinding smile aimed at her.
Before she can reply, the friends and the ones chasing the faunus arrive. She hears a familiar voice.
"You again huh, this is the second time you've stopped a faunus related incident." She hears Captain Roger say.
"Captain Roger!" Pyrrha can only reply in surprise.
"Thanks again kids, you and Jaune here make a good team." Captain Roger says as he claps Jaune's shoulder.
"You're a cop?!" Sun shouts from under her.
"Huntress-in-training, actually." She replies back with a smile. She sees Sun turn red at that.
"Me too!"
"Yeah, yeah, you can explain it in the station, you're currently an illegal immigrant until we verify who you are." Captain Roger interrupts as he moves to apprehend Sun.
Pyrrha stands up and leaves Sun to his fate.
"Hey! Let me go! I'm a student from Haven!"
"Do you have your ID with you?"
"I…uh…left it with my team?"
"Then your team can meet us at the station."
They hear Captain Roger as he takes Sun away.
"Well Weiss, you wanted to greet the competition, there it goes." Yang points out to Weiss, only receiving a huff.
Before she can even reply, they hear another familiar voice.
"HEY everybody! I made a new friend!" Nora greets them with a smile as she introduces her new friend.
"Salutations! My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
A/N
Thanks for the correction Kaiser Umbra, I knew Sun was from Vacuo so my mind automatically said Shade!, changed it into Haven now.
I'm back! Life kicked me down hard, but we get back up! I've been writing chapters this whole time and I think I'm getting the hang of it again. I'll try to post at least twice a week.
I just managed to setup my page, come and visit it so you could see what it could offer you. Basic gist is you have two tiers two choose from, the supporters which only cost 1$ a month, and the Early bird's Adult Tier which cost 3$ a month. Early birds are limited to 15 slots only. I'll be making a third tier in the future but only after Early Bird is filled up.
Supporters will get teasers of up to 2 or 3 chapters ahead, while Early Birds will get Non-Canon NSFW Content and full 2 or 3 chapters ahead.
This is my longest chapter yet, about 5.8k words. Hope you like it. Thanks for reading this chapter. As always, leave a comment, love it or hate it, tell me why this fic made you feel it.
Like my work? Consider supporting me in any way you can. Even 1 dollar a month would help raise morale so I could write faster and longer chapters.
