She's sort of an aunt and sort of a cousin but mostly to Jaune and his friends and family? She's trouble.

Jaune stepped into the RWBY common room, the familiar buzz of laughter and chatter greeting him. His friends were sprawled across the couches, their faces bright with amusement. Among them, perched with a mischievous grin, was his aunt Yuffie. The brunette ninja's outfit was, as always, daringly provocative, drawing eyes and raising brows. They were all caught up in lively conversation, the air warm with camaraderie.

Pyrrha's emerald eyes lit up as she spotted him. "Oh! Hello, Jaune!"

Ruby, bouncing in her seat, chimed in with her usual enthusiasm. "Hey, Jaune! We just met your aunt Yuffie!"

Ren, ever calm, held up a steaming teapot. "She brought tea."

"And snacks!" Nora bellowed, her mouth already stuffed with something crumbly.

Weiss, delicately sipping from her cup, offered a rare smile.

"Finally, a normal member of your family," she sighed softly.

Yuffie laughed, tossing her hair.

"Aw, thanks! I, uh, think? And I'm more of an honorary aunt—My friend is the one he's related to by blood, but I babysat the little guy during his childhood!"

Ruby's silver eyes sparkled with excitement.

"She just came up to visit! She's got so many great stories of traveling and adventuring!"

Yang leaned forward, her grin wide. "Yeah! She's a blast!"

Nora let out a gleeful "Hee!" as she reached for another snack.

Jaune's lips twitched into a tight smile.

"Well… It's very nice of you to drop by, Aunt Yuffie."

Yuffie hopped to her feet, her movements fluid and playful.

"Yeah! We'll have to catch up! Just let me hit the bathroom real quick…" She sauntered toward the door, but Jaune stepped smoothly into her path, his smile unwavering.

"The door's that way, Jaune," Yuffie said, tilting her head.

"Yes, it is," he replied, crossing his arms over his chest.

Ruby blinked, confused.

"Eh? What are you doing, Jaune?"

Yuffie's grin didn't falter.

"I mean, do you want a hug? Because I can certainly give one! Plenty of them!"

Jaune's smile widened, almost too bright.

"Sure! I'd love one!"

They embraced, Yuffie's arms wrapping around him warmly. But as she pulled back, Jaune's hand shot out, catching her wrist. He lifted it, revealing his wallet clutched in her fingers.

Yuffie coughed, her expression comically innocent.

"Oh dear… However did that get there?"

Ruby's jaw dropped. "What?!"

"Give them back, Auntie," Jaune said, his tone firm but not unkind.

Yuffie pouted, her lower lip jutting out.

"I was gonna!"

Weiss, suddenly alert, patted her pouch and gasped. "Wha—where's my wallet?!"

Ruby patted her pockets frantically. "And my scroll?!"

Nora's eyes widened in horror.

"My pocket pancakes!"

She froze as everyone turned to stare at her. "What? I have needs!"

With a dramatic sigh, Yuffie began handing over the pilfered items, one by one.

Jaune raised an eyebrow once she was done.

"Is that everything?" He asked flatly.

Yuffie batted her lashes, all charm and deflection. "Come on, Jaune! It's me! Your fun ninja aunt Yuffie! Remember how I used to cuddle you and take you tree-hopping?"

"Is that everything?" he repeated, unamused.

"Yesss…" Yuffie slumped, her voice a petulant grumble. "Honestly, you are no fun."

Jaune let out a heavy sigh.

"You told me you were working on it."

"I am!" Yuffie protested, throwing her hands up. "But you can't put a former alcoholic in a bar and expect them not to be tempted, right? I'm a thief! In a room with some of the richest girls on Remnant!"

Jaune's scowl deepened, his patience fraying.

Yuffie's bravado faltered, and her voice softened. "Aw… I'm sorry, Jaune." She stepped forward, pulling him into a genuine hug.

He relaxed slightly, returning the embrace. "It's okay, Aunt Yuffie… But seriously. Get help?"

She pulled back, a playful glint returning to her eyes. "Hmph. Just for that, I'm gonna set you up with a girl just like me, and you'll beg me for help with her because you'll love her soooo much!"

Jaune barked out a laugh.

"Ha! That'll be the day!"

Somewhere, Neo sneezed.
