Blondes
Jaune was currently in the infirmary for his several burns, cuts, and bruises, so he decided to talk to Tukson while he waited.
'So kid why are you being so nice to the people here after you got back?' Tukson asked him.
'Well I was gone for two years I thought I had to make it up to them.' Jaune explained to the ghost while wondering why he would ask that.
'Yeah but you were training to try and save the world so I don't think you should owe them anything.' Tukson pointed out.
'So it's not like it's a big issue.' Jaune retorted to the ghost.
'Really Jaune, you were betrayed and then stabbed in the back and as soon as you come back they act as if you owe them for being gone for so long.' Tukson explains to the blonde.
'I still don't see much of an issue.' Jaune replied while looking at the ghost.
'Okay so the fact that they could just take advantage of you owing them doesn't bother you at all?' Tukson asks him with an exhausted look on his face.
'Well I guess but they haven't done anything unreasonable yet.' Jaune answers as he sits up on the infirmary bed.
'And who is to say that they won't. They may be your friends Jaune but they could've changed a lot over the years.' Tukson warned the knight as he crossed his arms.
'Okay then what do you want me to do?' Jaune asks.
'You should tell them that you don't owe them anything by explaining the situation you were in.' Tukson told the blond as team RWBY and team JNPR entered the room, except for a certain Ice Queen.
"Jaune are you ok?" Ruby asked sounding a little worried.
"Yeah Ruby I'm fine just a couple scratches, I should be better in a few hours." Jaune said to the cloaked girl.
"So how was it living in a cave for so long?" Nora asked bluntly with a childishly curious look on her face.
"Well it wasn't so bad I got to train with one of Remnant's greatest heroes even though he was a bit intense." Jaune told his childish teammate.
"So was Alister a ghost like Tukson?" Blake asked Jaune because she was curious about the details.
"Yeah but why does that matter?" Jaune replied to the cat faunus.
"Well because that would mean that you could have come back anytime you wanted because you have Tukson with you so you could have brought Alister with you to Beacon after you woke up in the cave." Blake said causing the room to shift all their undivided attention to Jaune.
"Well I really didn't know what my..." Jaune was answering only to be cut off by Yang.
"You could have came back the whole time!" Yang shouted at the young knight.
"Ok Yang calm down and let him explain." Pyrrah told her so Jaune could finish.
"Thanks Pyrrah, what I was saying was that I didn't really know anything about my semblance or the situation I was in at the time and I kinda thought I was stuck there until Alister disappeared." Jaune said sheepishly while rubbing his head.
"So what, you didn't even try to leave!" Yang yelled.
"Sis calm down." Ruby says to her sister while grabbing her arm.
"No I will not calm down this guy could have saved all of us a lot of trouble if he didn't decide to stay in a cave for two years!" Yang shouted at her sister who was now getting a little scared.
"Yang leave her alone, it was my decision and I did it for several good reasons." Jaune explained only for Yang to turn back to him and her eyes flashed red for a few seconds.
"Like what?" Yang growled as she glared daggers at him.
"Well for example I didn't know where I was, I had just been given the chance to live up to my name by one of the greatest heroes in history, I had just been stabbed by a person I considered a friend, and finally I didn't know what would have happened when I would come back to Beacon!" Jaune snapped at the girl, letting his calm demeanor slip for a brief second.
"Whatever!" Yang grunted as she stormed out of the room.
"Sorry about her we probably should have stopped her from going off on you like that." Pyrrah apologized as Jaune started to get off the bed.
"What are you doing?" Ren asked after Jaune started to head for the door.
"I'm just gunna go into town to restock on supplies and try to blow off some steam see you in a bit." Jaune told the group as he walked off, grabbing his weapons from his bedside.
Jaune decided to go into town to restock the arrows he used and get some dust for his blade. He eventually made his way to the airships at Beacon and got on one to go into Vale.
'Told ya kid, they think that just because you were gone you suddenly owe them for it.' Tukson said as Jaune took a seat in the ship.
'Be quiet, it was just Yang and Blake only contributed a little.' Jaune replied as the ship started to take off into Vale.
'Oh come on you need to stop being so nice to them all the time, you were stabbed by that ice girl and was left to die. I think that you have a perfectly good reason for not coming back.' Tukson argued.
'Fine you may be right but that doesn't mean that I know what they went through after I was gone. I mean really they kept my shield hung on a wall over the years like some kind of memorial.' Jaune replied as he started to feel his stomach turn from his motion sickness.
'So what, they kept it big deal. As soon as you got back you thought you had to immediately make it up to them like it was your fault!' Tukson complained.
'Look can we just talk about this some other time, I'm not feeling to good.' Jaune told the ghost as he started to look for a trash can to throw up in.
After another half hour the ship landed in Vale and Jaune went to a local dust shop to resupply his weapons.
'Okay Tukson have you calmed down?' Jaune asked while looking through the store.
'Yeah, but just remember to talk to them when you get back especially that blonde chick because she seems pretty mad about it.' Tukson told the knight.
'Okay fine, but I don't want you to talk bad about any of them again, except maybe Weiss and Cardin.' Jaune replied as he picked up the arrows and a couple canisters of dust.
As Jaune left after buying the materials he didn't notice a discolored figure place a piece of paper into his bag.
Jaune then headed back to Beacon to try and talk with everybody after storming out. He headed to his dorm room to put away his stuff but was stopped when he heard a knock on the door leaving the bag unattended on his bed.
"What do you want?" Jaune said while opening the door to none other than Yang.
'Oh this can't be good.' Jaune thought to himself as he instantly regretted answering the door.
"Well I was looking for Pyrrah to talk about an assignment but now seems like a good time for us to have a chat." Yang said, adding a little bit of emphasis on the end of the sentence.
"Fine just let me grab some things." Jaune groaned only to be grabbed by Yang.
"Oh no your not we need to talk." She said while dragging the poor blond away leaving his bow and arrows in the room.
Yang had dragged him all the way to a secluded training area that was only used by the teachers to tutor students.
"Ok now your going to get it Vomit boy." Yang said as she got ready to fight.
"Could you at least tell me why your so mad?" Jaune asked trying to avoid a fight with the girl.
"How about I tell you after I pummel you to a pulp." Yang replied with slight menace in her voice.
"Look are you sure you want to do this?" Jaune asked, questioning the reason behind the fight.
But instead of a response Jaune only saw Yang running at him to try and end the fight. Jaune still didn't have his sword drawn so he quickly moved to the side while tripping Yang, who fell flat on her face.
'Hahahaha' Tukson laughed in Jaune's head at what had just happened to the girl.
'Tukson shut up, now is not the time to be laughing.' Jaune said to him while pulling out his sword.
Yang had immediately gotten back up and was charging back at him with Ember Celicia. Jaune countered by using his sword to redirect the strikes away from him to try and tire Yang out.
"Would you take this seriously already!" Yang shouted at the blonde knight.
"Okay fine but you asked for it." Jaune said as he switched to the offensive and pushed her away with his sword.
Jaune then charged at Yang before she could regain her balance and hit her with his sword's handle only to have it blocked by one of her gauntlets. She then rolled back and fired several shots at Jaune witch he either dodged or used his aura to negate them.
'Could you just knock her out and end it already.' Tukson complained as Jaune continued to avoid the hail of bullets.
'Well I'm kinda hopping that she just stops fighting and says why she's so mad.' Jaune replied.
'Yeah good luck with that.' Tukson scoffed as the two started to hear a clicking sound.
'Oh look she is out of shells.' Tukson pointed out as Jaune got ready to attack again.
Jaune moved toward her and slashed downward only for the blade to be caught in between her gauntlets.
"Well this is pointless." Jaune said as he kicked Yang back and freed his weapon.
Yang had then quickly reloaded with some shells she kept on her a jacket and launched herself at him. As she got close Jaune used the flat side of his sword to block her punches and eventually knocked her back. He then swung the sword diagonally causing Yang to duck, but as she got back up she noticed that there was a few long strands of blond hair in the air.
'Oh shit.' Jaune thought to himself as Yang was covered in a thin layer of fiery aura.
Yang then unleashed a bombardment of hits on the knight, throwing him to the ground several yards away.
'Kid you might want to move.' Tukson warned alerting Jaune who rolled away as Yang slammed a fist into the ground at the spot he landed.
'Okay might need some help on this one.' Jaune said as Tukson sent some aura into him.
Jaune then put away his sword and charged at the brawler with his claw like hands. The two then exchanged several hits until Yang had started to hit harder and faster, eventually knocking Jaune away from the fist fight.
'Okay so that's not a good idea.' Jaune thought to himself as he took his sword back out.
He then was forced to block another fist from Yang who was continuing her assault. Jaune then used one of his claw hands to make a slash into one of her gauntlets. Yang then hit him in the chest sending him tumbling backwards until he got back on his feet.
'Ok just end it already.' Tukson said as he sent more aura into Jaune.
Jaune then went for a final strike at Yang who was ready to try the same thing. The result was Jaune dodging her fist and struck her in the back, knocking her out.
After awhile she woke up in the infirmary with a few bandages on with Jaune sitting on a chair next to the bed.
"That was a cheap shot." She argued only to receive a serious look from Jaune.
"That doesn't matter, now why were you so mad about my disappearance while everyone else was fine with it?" Jaune asked as he stood up from the chair.
"Fine, it was because of all the grief that you caused. It changed everyone. But now you come back and almost everyone welcomes you back so easily." Yang said.
"Look I know that I could've tried to come back earlier but you shouldn't be getting mad at me for that. I had found a way to protect everyone here by training with one of the strongest people to ever exist. I stayed away for so long so that when I came back I could protect all of you guys." Jaune said to Yang as he got ready to leave.
"But the people here could've helped you." Yang points out.
"Look I didn't think everything through and that is my fault. But you need to let it go. I'll already be explaining all of this to everybody else soon and you should understand that I didn't know what to do and I needed to be alone so I could focus on the threat coming to Remnant." Jaune answered as he walked out of the room while sending messages to the other members of team RWBY and JNPR telling them what happened and that he would talk to them later. He then headed back to his room to finally get his equipment back together, bit as he took everything out a note fell onto the bed. Jaune then picked it up and saw that it was a number for someone's scroll.
