The war is over, love time?

A/N: Hey everyone this fic is about Salem being defeated, and, everyone living happily ever after. Well, almost everyone. In a lot of fanfics, it will always have creators with each other, like either Ruby, and for some reason Oscar, having a harem, or Team RWBY dating each other, and sometimes Penny somewhere in that mold. But, they always either have Pryyha and Jaune together. Or just, leave him single in the fic.

And sometimes they would have Pyrrha be in Ruby's harem. And leave Jaune alone in obscurity. I think some people are fixated in Pyrrha and Jaune getting together, which I get, they probably would have made a good couple, so who knows. But, they always make him like, "Eh I am not going for anyone else. My mom, dad, and sisters is all I need. Everyone is getting married but me, but it's ok I am a good friend to them." I honestly find that mind set kind of lonely, you will only be around your mom and dad, and siblings. But, they will eventually get their own lives, and you will be alone, and not know what to do.

I am making this, to let the teams to see that, maybe they should involve their friend more, and he needs us. He deserves love. But, enough of my yapping, and venting, let's get started!

Salem was defeated. It was a bloody, battle, the damage was large, The kingdoms were in shambles with the all out fighting against Salem and her grimm. That was almost three years ago.

It was team RWBY giving the final blow, with Jaune Arc, and the rest of his teams clearing the path for them. Able to finally put down the grimm queen, the world cheered for them. Finally one of the biggest threats in the world is gone. After defeating Salem, the brother gods, came back, and judged Remnant. They deemed Remnant as redeemable. Saying: "We have been watching from a distance, honestly, we were disappointed at first…..but…we have grown to see the beauty of what we made. Even though when you all were divided, you all still came together to help when needed, and do what's right. Even though majority like to fall for darkness more, the light and goodness in humanity, stood up to fight for what's right.

Seeing how you all over came everything, deemed you all worthy. In our eyes." The god of light said to those around Salem who had been defeated previously.

"And, we learned from our mistake, our decision to why we, no I, destroyed humanity at first. We felt so hurt, to see our own creation, our own children, attack us. It was so painful, so we left. But truly understanding how, we both created humanity with both light and dark, we were too ignorant, to see how free will effects everyone differently. Watching from a distance helped us understand, that we made a mistake, a poor decision…..abandoning you all because we were hurt." The god of darkness said looking away slightly in shame. This caused all those around to look on in surprise that a god is showing humility. But then he continued.

"We left, with a problem for you all, of a mess we created, and we tried to have one man, fix the whole planet, knowing he would fail. That was our own pettiness, and arrogance." The god of darkness said to them.

"So please let us correct our mistake, by fixing the greatest mistake we made." The god of light said looking at Salem. He Held out his hand, and absorbed a strange energy coming out of her.

"I have taken away your immortality, I should have done better, in consoling you, when Ozma died, an apology will never be enough so, let this be a start. Brother." The god of light said to them, he looked at his brother who nodded.

They got on their knees and bowed their heads!

"We are deeply sorry for our actions!" The brothers said at the same time, everyone was so surprised of what they were seeing, gods bowing down, apologizing to humanity. Some were about to yell in deep rage, a simple apology won't be able to fix this, but they looked up, before anyone could say anything.

"We both know, an apology will never be enough, so we made a decision, will always watch over you all, but at a distance, we will come if need be, but we will leave you all to your own devices, and not dictate your actions, we will always hear your prayers, and continue to watch over you all." The god of light finished. He then looked at Oscar.

"Ozma, this is your last reincarnation, after you pass on again, you will be able to pass on. And, young Oscar, you will not worry about Ozpin taking over body completely, I have also changed that." The god of light finished shocking both Oscar, and Ozma. They then stood up..

"Be safe all of you, and may you all find amazing piece." Both gods spoke, and left in particles of light.

That was two years ago, and a lot has happened, kingdoms were being rebuilt, and Atlas, will now be known as New Atlas, being built where Mantle is, but bigger. Construction of the kingdoms were going smoothly. The world still had grimm, that is not going away, but they were a lot less organized, and able to fight back easier.

Not only that just about everyone was finding love again. Tai, and Raven got back together, Raven admitted to Tai that she always did truly love him, and made a promise, she will never abandon him or Yang ever again. Qrow, managed to be with Robyn Hill. She didn't care about his semblance, they both grown to love each other, and they couldn't be happier. Qrow's semblance evolved, and is able to direct it where he wants to now, if he wanted to, so he was able to be around people a lot more now, he was finally truly happy in his life.

Team RWBY, all started dating their partners. It happened after Salems defeat, it was a big mix of emotions, all of them kissing their respected partners. Nora, and Ren ended up getting married early. Emerald, was the aggressor towards Oscar, and gave him a nice wet kiss. Everyone was happy.

Well almost everyone.

Jaune looked on at the time that everyone had someone special to be with. While he had no one. He was happy for them all to find love with each other. They all deserved happiness, it doesn't matter if he is alone, he spent decades alone, it was nothing new.

Seeing everyone with someone they love, made him happy…..but, why was he so hurt, why did he want, what they had? Jaune just looked on in silent sadness as he seen his closest friends and family, indulge in each other, through kissing in happiness. He just turns around, and looks at them one more time. He felt in his heart, maybe him and Ruby would have gotten along with entering a relationship, but seeing her, with his former crush, made something almost break inside of him.

Not, mentally unstable, maybe, but in sadness. He felt that maybe he wasn't meant to find love.

"Maybe, I was never meant to have anybody in my life, Pyrrha was probably the only one, who would truly love me like that. So I should probably just….stop and give up on that, yeah, maybe that's a good idea, a woman might end up getting hurt, or worse by being with me.' Jaune said to himself walking away. He looked back at his friends, and gave a small sad smile, and let out quite tears, as he walked away.

That was two years ago, Team RWBY is now 21, with Ruby 20. They and the rest of team JNPR was in Menagerie, it was going to be recognized as a the fifth major country! They were all there to celebrate. Ruby, and Weiss were always helping out where they could as huntresses, with the SDC, having to start over again, it was a long road, but they were all getting there. Blake, and Yang stayed in Menagerie constantly working for this day.

Nora, and Ren, helped rebuild Kuroyuri, with others joining in, creating a small settlement like before. They all spent their time there, and enjoying the married life. Oscar and Emerald were at Beacon Academy setting up the school again, with the help of Glynda Goodwitch, of her acting as headmistress, with Oscar/ Ozma helping out where need be, Emerald was almost glued to his side.

They all met up at Menagerie to join in the celebration.

"I can't believe it, Yang, Blake. Menagerie is now a fifth kingdom!" Ruby screamed in joy jumping up and down.

Ruby really grew up, she like the others, grew to have a voluptuous body, she only grew to be 5'7, but she wasn't complaining, Weiss grew to 5'3 without heels, and now has a D cup breasts. Ruby grew to have DDs. Blake and Yang became taller as well, Blake hit a weird growth spurt growing to be about 5'10, along with Yang being 5'9. Yang went to have F cups, with Blake E cups. They really bulked up, and curved out over the years. A huntresses job is never truly done. They still fight grimm in Menagerie, there is a lot, and they will always come back, apparently, a last hoorah to from Salem, Grimm are being born faster, but again, not as organized.

So with fighting, and being peace keepers, really made them busy. But they always had time for each other.

"I know right sis?! Me and Blake have been really working our butts off to get this place cleaned up." Yang bragged, and grabbed Blake's amazing big butt, when Yang said 'butts'. Blake gave a mock annoyed look to Yang.

"Yang….not in public." Blake said smiling being some what serious. Yang just gave her, her bed room eyes, with both of them laughing a little.

"Seriously, you two have to control yourselves. I know you two love each other, but time and place." Weiss spoke somewhat haughtily. Ruby went over and gave Weiss a brief slap on her behind causing Weiss to yelp, in both shock, and little excitement.

"Oh easy snow flake, we both know, we do that sometimes, in public." Ruby said to Weiss giving a teasing look. Weiss just blushed and looked away.

"W-well, people weren't looking at us so." Weiss said blushing and stammering a little. This caused her team to laugh at her.

"It's ok Weiss cream, it just shows how much you love each other!" Yang exclaimed at her. Weiss, just smiled, and rolled her eyes, honestly, she will never change.

"I still can't believe it. It has been two years since we beat Salem, and look what has happened. Menagerie is becoming it's own Kingdom, we are more united than ever. And we have learned that we can study the moon soon!" Ruby exclaimed being nostalgic.

It was true, since the brother gods, came back and fixed their mistakes, with Salem, Remnant was able to advance even further. Armor, Vehicles, Weapons, etc. the possibilities were endless. With New Atlas being up and running, dust manufacturing has been going smoother. Racism, was prohibited in the mines, better technology, causing less deaths, and injuries. Pay was better, all around it was still tough work, but much more worth it.

Granted the Lien coming in wasn't as big when Jaques Shcnee was in charge, but plenty is still coming in, just 15% less. Weiss, and Willow wasn't greedy like Jaques, and they were doing a lot better as bosses. Klein, the butler is still close to the family. Now, as Klein Schnee, that is right he married Willow Schnee, over time, they truly fell in love with each other, and Weiss seen Klein as her true father after all.

Above all things were going well.

"Your damn right things are great!"

Team RWBY heard a very energetic voice, they all lit up with a smile, turned, and seen Lie Ren, and Nora Ren-Valkyrie, walking towards them. Ruby dashed over to them hugging them.

"Nora, Ren, it's so good to see you both again!" Ruby hugged them both, they both gave a happy smile, and hugged her lovingly. They were joined in with the rest of the team. They all hugged her, and felt a round bump on her belly. Nora Valkyrie was pregnant!

"Oh…..my…..gosh…..your pregnant!" Ruby yelled with joy, with the rest of the team squealing, minus Blake, even though she gushed herself. Nora just smiled, puffing out her chest, she grew even bigger, now she standing a proud 5'5, and with E cup breasts. She is the definition of a short stack now.

"Yup, they have been in the oven for three months now." Nora said, while rubbing her belly. Team RWBY just smiled at that, they were truly happy for them. But then they froze, they?

"Wait…you mean?" Blake questioned, already knowing the answer. Nora just gave a feral grin. "Yup, momma is carrying twins!" Nora said loudly. Everyone was just shocked.

"Me and Ren worked hard, in rebuilding our home, and making this family, we couldn't be happier about that." Nora said looking at Ren lovingly.

"It's true, we have been making great stride in making new buildings in Kuroyuri. We managed to have a lot of time to…indulge in each other, to show how much we truly love each other." Ren said to them, holding his wife lovingly, with her head resting on him. Team RWBY was so happy to see this love. To see how much, two childhood friends fall in love.

It reminded them of well, them. Partners, bestfriends, falling in love, and they are all together.

"Has anyone seen Oscar or Emerald, they should be here." Yang asked.

"Things have been hectic back at Beacon, they are still trying to make sure the grimm, are at a stable pace, so things won't be so hectic." Ruby, said. They were all said that they couldn't come, but keeping a kingdom, and academy safe, and up to co., is never easy.

Then Nora, became a little sad.

"Has anyone heard from Jaune?" Everyone perked up.

"Oh yeah, we last talked to him….." Ruby started, but then stopped.

"Uhhhh guys, when was the last time we have talked to Vomit boy?" Yang asked, not remembering when was the last time they even talked to him.

Nora looked down sadly. Ren noticed this and held her.

"Yeah, I thought so….we haven't even talked to him, for two years now, have we?" Nora revealed to everyone. They were all shocked. That was true they never even talked him….since Salems defeat. They stayed in the hospital, waiting for him, but…they never saw him.

Two Years Ago

"Ummmm excuse me, is Jaune Arc awake yet?" Ruby asked with Weiss by her, holding her hand in comfort.

The desk lady typed in her computer, seeing where he is.

"Oh, he has already checked out of the hospital today, he already left the building." The desk lady said.

Ruby and Weiss looked being frozen at the information. They missed him? How was that possible they were in the main hall of the hospital, how could they miss him?! They let their teams know, and spread out to look for him. After hours of looking, they found no trace of him. They all assumed that Jaune just needs time to himself, and he can reach out to them if he wants to.

So they all went their separate ways, and eventually that day was left in obscurity. They were all living their lives doing Huntress work, and rebuilding Remnant.

After that day, they didn't even try to call him, they were all just so busy in their lives, and each other. Jaune Arc was forgotten for the most part.

Everyone but Nora. She tried to reach out and find him. She never gave up on him. Ren was helping, but he was the leader of the village now, so no time to help. But she tried for two years, but nothing, all except a big Knight, wandering around Remnant helping others where he could, and being there for those who were hurting. Nora knew it was Jaune, his symbol was on him for gods sakes.

She always tried to call him, invite him to Kuroyuri. But, never answering, he was just away, from everyone. Like how they were, when the war first ended.

Flash back end

Everyone looked on with some sadness. They all had the same thought, 'why didn't we look, or talk to him?' Ruby looked the most saddest. He was her first friend, she has ever made on her own. Not only that, he was her best friend. And, she never reached out to him, even once. Only once though, when he went missing.

She also learned of his crush on her. It only hit her year before, she had become wiser, even more so, from her time since Beacon. She truly felt bad for him. Her heart was set on Weiss, it never really occurred to her for Jaune and her, to enter a relationship. She felt that if she and Weiss wasn't together…they could have made it work, just as strong she and Weiss was now.

Gods, she misses her vomit boy. And the guilt was gnawing at her for not looking for him. She could angry at him, which she was a little for him not reaching out. But, she realized that she never really reached out to the other friends she made over the years, and the ones who reached out to her, she never really responded, except the generic, "I am busy", shtick which she was, and most of the time, she always spent time with Weiss, and sometimes with Yang, and Blake.

She truly felt like crap, Jaune must have truly felt alone, and hurt.

Weiss was in the same boat, not as extreme as her but, she felt it the worst. Their relationship started out like a forest fire, due to her paranoia, and her late father's influence. After Beacon's dance she saw him in a different light. He stopped pursuing her, which she was glad of, but she saw him as a friend then, a good one even. And when they became true Hunters, she saw him as a best friend, they truly got to know each other, Jaune knew more about her, thanks to paying attention to her at Beacon, but she never really knew him. Traveling to Atlas was helping there, but she truly grew to love having Jaune in her life. She shamefully admits, learning that he was the Rusted Knight, she felt her loins burn for him, but when he turned back that feeling was some what there, but that spark to be attracted to him kind of disappeared.

That truly made her feel like the biggest scum, she was only attracted to him, because he was mythical, and older looking.
That made her cry a few times, like Ruby she became more aware of her own actions, and feelings. She just wished that, things could have been different, and that he was with them right now, with her too.

Yang, was never close to Jaune, too much of a dork for her. She accepted Ruby of that because she was her sister, and she found her adorable when she was dork. She truly did love her sister, and she loved her as a dork. She didn't like Jaune one bit at first.

For puking on her boots, she held a huge grudge against him. And, she was bitter about him. Seeing him flounder around in classes, made her cringe, it was embarrassing. At the time, she wished Ruby would just ditch him, and even his own team leave him. She felt that he didn't need to be a huntsman, he didn't have the talent for it, especially if training him, was that result.

But, seeing him improve, and eager to learn, made her happy that her wanted to be better. She seen how much he grew as a fighter, how much of a tactician he was, she was impressed, but she still didn't like him too much still.

She had to admit though, she was glad Ruby, and Jaune became good friends. Their friendship aloud Ruby, to slowly grow out of her shell, and grow as a beautiful, and a strong young woman she knew she would grow up to be. For that, she was truly grateful to him.

She admitted to herself, the reason she was around him was because, she could pick on him, and make him the butt of her jokes. Teasing him was always fun, and she found it cute at times. But, what made her really start to see him as a friend was….he looked at her as Yang Xia Long, not some blonde whore, that throws her body at anyone.

When she, lost her arm, she was beyond pissed for Jaune leaving with her sister. But through training with her dad, and getting over her trauma somewhat, she was able to understand her sister, and him better. Granted when seeing him again, she wanted to beat him within an inch of his life, if she was the Yang still at Beacon, she would have. But seeing him, and Ruby so glad to see her, destroyed that angry feeling completely.

She never had a chance, of her true feelings, in thanking him, for being there for her baby sister, when she couldn't for feeling so sorry for herself, and going through, and overcoming her own trauma.

She learned that even though Jaune, was hurting, and hating his own self, made her feel so bad for him. She knows that pain, and hating himself, while still moving forward, she wallowed in her own misery, while Jaune was destroying himself, and keeping himself barely together for those around him.

She started to truly hate herself again, when finding out he was the Rusted Knight, and how long he waited there for them. She would have given up, a lot earlier, but, he truly cared and loved them dearly. She put her relationship with Blake, more important than her friend's, and Ruby's meltdown. That made her feel like the worst sister ever, and a bad friend at that.

She almost lost her sister for good, with Ruby drinking that tea, so she and Ruby, had a good talk, about not doing everything alone, and always being there for each other. That promise went to the rest of her team too.

She was like that with Ren and Nora but…why wasn't she for Jaune. She could see his long off look of sadness, he lived longer than them, alone with no love, and nearly killed by the first beings he thought that they were friends.

She never once thanked him, for being there for them, waiting for them, and suffering in silence for them. She never got a chance to apologize, and when he went missing, it was almost like she didn't care that he left, she was so fixated on Blake and never bothered to even think about him.

He was truly alone again, and she didn't reach out to him. When she saw him again, she is going to question him, and make things right.

Blake felt the same way. She didn't even care about Jaune at all. Even coming back, to the team after Beacon fell. But, she grew to like him more, knowing that he didn't care that she was a faunus, or an ex White Fang member. He was so accepting to her, yet she didn't care about him, she did appreciate him, but she barely interacted with him.

He fought for her leader, when they were all separated, while she just ran away with her tail between her legs. Even after Atlas, she barely even reached out to him. Instead just watching from a distance. She seen him grow into a great huntsman. And she will be honest.

She found him incredibly handsome. She felt so bad at thinking that, she went to have strong feelings for Yang, and just forgot about Jaune, and especially Sun.

She knew he liked her, genuinely liked her. He was crash, but he truly cared, he wanted to be there for her. She was so glad for him, and she gave a promise to at least go on a date with him, when they met again. But, she doesn't when her feeling for Yang over shadowed that, she didn't really think about until later, after Salem was done with. She truly felt like the worse.

She felt the same way again, seeing Jaune was the Rusted Knight, she admitted she had hero worship of him, and had her…..fantasies about her and the Rusted Knight. But, for some reason, realizing it was Jaune, it almost went away immediately. She didn't know what happened, it just….happened.

Truly thinking about that made her feel like being the biggest scum bag, and dare she say a….bitch, in the world. She had a crush on the Rusted Knight, but when she found out it was Jaune, it died almost instantly.

Did, she really think that little of him, not paying him no mind, not giving him any genuine gratitude, for being there for her leader, and partner, while she was gone?

Out of all the regrets, she regrets, not being a good friend to Jaune, and not even thinking of Sun. She just felt that, 'If you truly care about me, you will support me with this decision', without even thinking of their feelings. Sun almost stopped talking to her all together, one because she was always around Yang. And, she was always busy.

She felt like scum, When Jaune left she looked for him, but in the end, she immediately indulged herself in Yang, and hang out with her team more often than not. Thinking of it now, she didn't deserve his friendship. It was one sided with truly caring about her, she cared, but it felt like a co-worker relationship. He even waited for her for so long, someone she barely knew except the bare minimum about him. Seven sisters, his semblance, him being a dork, the rusted knight etc.

So she promised she will ignite a good relationship with him, and reach out to Sun, to truly talk with them.

Safe to say everyone there felt like crap, they truly miss their dork. Where on Remnant could he be? They were always close together, and now, what happened?

They heard a small alarm going off. That meant grimm has gotten into Kuo Kuana. They were all about to spring into action. But Nora would have been slower since she was pregnant. They heard a shrill roar behind, and above them. It was a grimm unique to this region. It was an Alpha Raptoridae. It was a bipedal grimm, with an elongated almost lizard like head, almost as big as a human torso, it would be able to eat a grown man whole, in two or three bites. It also had claws, and the look of hands to grab someone. It was almost 9 feet tall.

The bone armor was on the top of the head, almost looking like a helmet, with more bone armor on it's tail, legs and arms. It's sickle claws were like the sharpest curved knife.(I was trying to describe a Megaraptoridae, a type of dinosaur, look it up, that would put Utahraptor to shame.)

It jumped in the air, and it was going after Nora. It could smell the babies inside Nora, and seen her as easy prey. It was fast, faster than any speedy grimm out there, especially since it's an alpha. It was way too fast, and the only one who could act in time, was Yang, she half way of preparing Ember Celica, but even if she fired, Nora could be severely hurt, or even lose the babies!

Ren then put himself in front of Nora to take the blow. He will protect his family or die trying. The grimm was inches away from his head, until they heard something to a charge up, and a quick bang.

The grimm was hit square in the head, and exploded. Everyone stood shocked for something like that to happen. Especially Yang, and Blake. They, knew how dangerous, and fast these creatures were. They had trouble for the most part, but that is more of the 'experienced', and older grimm. And to punch through it's head like that, that weapon was powerful.

Ren held onto Nora, glad that she was safe, they embraced each other glad that they were safe. Then they all turned around to see a tall guy, who is well built, and looked like knight armor. It looked full plated, they could see the guy could be built like a tank seeing how big he is. His helmet covered his whole face, they couldn't even see the color of his eyes.

They looked at his weapon. He lowered it slightly, and they can tell it is a shield, but it looked elongated at the edge, but thick. They could tell it was a barrel of a gun, since it was smoking indicating he just shot it. There was a handle on the side of it, which is where his left hand is, obviously for stability, if need be. They can see a sword on his back, but it looked familiar, they couldn't put their finger on it though.

What stood out to them was, Their was a burned orange fox, with some black on it, sitting on his right shoulder. He put down his shield, as the barrel collapsed in itself. He walked up to them, the team was weary of him, sure they were grateful of this stranger, but they didn't know what this guy's game was.

He stood a few feet from them and looked down to them. He was about 6'5, and then he spoke.

"Are you all ok now?" The stranger asked. His voice sounded a little deep, and they could have sworn they heard it before. Everyone was confused, everyone but Nora. She looked on in shock, and was about to cry, not because she was pregnant, not because she was relieved that they were safe, well that was part of it. But in tears of happiness.

She was about to say something until they heard a shout.

"Mr. Knight!" They heard a mature woman's voice, and running over was Kali Belladonna, Blake Belladonna's mother, along with her husband Ghira Belladonna.

"You ran off suddenly, and people said that you went in this direction, from the shot, I can assume that, the grimm is taken cared of?" Ghira spoke to him. Glad they caught up.

The now appointed Knight just nodded, and spoke. "Yes, I seen it coming in this direction, I would have lost it, if it wasn't for my friend Temari here." Knight said to them, while rubbing the ears of his fox on his shoulder. The fox leaned in the scratches truly loving the attention, affection, and the ear scritches.

Kali giggled at the sight. "You know it reminds me of how you scritch my ears, always makes this kitty purr." Kali purred at her husband, giving him her best bed room eyes. This caused Ghira blush in embarrassment, because his daughter heard that. Her face almost became all pink from hearing that.

"Kali, not in front of Blake." Ghira almost hissed at her. No one needed to know what they do in private.

"What you should be proud you know how to rub this pussy real good." Kali rebuttal back, giving a teasing smile.

"KALI!" "MOM!" Both Ghira, and Blake yelled at her, causing Kali to just laugh at them. She just loves teasing, and embarrassing them.

"Ahem." Knight faked cleared his throat to get everyone on track. This caused Kali and Ghira to get back on track.

"Again, thank you so much for doing this, and you truly did, help my daughter, her lover, and her friends." Ghira said to him, holding out a hand to him, Knight simply shook his shook his hand.

"Just simply doing my job sir." Knight replied modestly. Then Blake went forward.

"Mom, dad, who is this, and thank you so much for doing so much saving Nora, and Ren's life, we couldn't have been fast enough, thank you so much." Blake turned to him, and smiled at him.

Knight simply just turned his head to her, she felt somewhat intimidated by him, felt like he was looking at her soul, Yang was about to jump in, putting herself between Blake and him. But it was no need.

"No problem, just helping where I can." Knight said easily, causing others to sigh in relief. Kali then clapped her hands slightly getting everyone's attention.

"Yes, let's continue, you see here, we hired Mr. Knight here as a guard for the ceremony. We don't know his name, saying "I want to remain anonymous." Kali said, putting on a deeper voice mimicking him playfully.

"Yes, it's to make things easier for everyone I believe, so let's get back to the Belladonna residents, we all want to prepare right?" Knight said to them, his shield's gun barrel receding more, good for compactness.

Everyone, besides Mr. and Mrs. Belladonna, looked at him numbly, and just nodded dumbly. All except for Nora. She was still frozen, and then walked forward standing in front of Knight. They just stared at each other.

"You don't have to thank me for saving your life, I'm just doing my jo-" Knight was saying, but was stopped when he was punched in the gut, he hunched over slightly, and Temari was about to attack her, but Knight stopped her. This shocked everyone there.

"Nora, why would you do that, he just saved you!" Ren, exclaimed to Nora, he was about to apologize to him. But Nora spoke up. As she started to tear up more.

"I am grateful to him, but I am more of just pissed for you not saying anything to us…..Jaune!" Nora Yelled out to him with some tears coming down her cheeks.

This made everyone, but Kali and Ghira freeze, and widen their eyes in shock. Knight just stood there frozen, he then straightened himself up, stood still for almost a minute, with Nora looking at him in anger, and hurt. He then let out a big sigh, and reached up to his helmet, undid his straps on it.

He then removed his helmet, and his hair fell down, he was wearing his hair, in the warrior wolf tail. His face looked a little rugged, due to always going around the world helping where he can, a scar going down his face. He looked like Jaune, but just more battle hardened.

Everyone looked at him in shock, here he was, the boy they have been around since Beacon started all the way to Salem, battle hardened almost more than them. He seemed very rugged, almost like he was in the Ever after, he even grew out his facial hair again, it looked a little shorter, and better groomed.

To their shame, the girls blushed seeing their friend like this. They never looked, or thought about him until now, so they have felt shame for that. Nora then hugged him, tears streaming down.

"W-why didn't you call, or come visit any of us?" Nora asked breaking down a little. Jaune looked at his old friends, they can see his face almost neutral, but deep in his eyes, they can see a truly lonely man. Jaune looked down, and gave Nora a gentle hug.

"I'm so sorry Nora, a lot happened for me, I don't want to talk about it right now, I am still technically on the clock, I…I can tell you later ok?" Jaune said, as he let go of Nora, and she did too. He put he put his helmet back on, and started to walk to the direction of the Belladonna residents, with Kali and Ghira looking at each other. They can tell that the young man is hurting inside, and they started walking with him.

Team RWBY, Ren, and Nora, all looked at each other, and eventually started walking. They all had a concerned look with only one thought.

'What happened to you Jaune?'

Author's Note: I know this is messy and all over the place, but I am making this as an example, of how some people just make Jaune alone, and just make him seem happy, with everyone is in love and together, while he just smiles, with him being alone.

People can argue that the moms like him, but that is just lust, and I believe most of them died when Atlas fell sadly.

And, I am also making this an example with what happens in real life. When friends just stop talking, and/ or acknowledging you, even though you have been around them the longest.

I'm trying to make this show his mind set of being alone for a while, and not being able to find love. And, his friends realizing that they weren't there for him, but were there for only each other.

So please be patient and try to enjoy the story please.

May God Continue To Bless All Of You!
