"Oh Jaune~ Guess what is under your pillow~"

As soon as he heard the voice, the first thing Jaune did was jump out of his bed and throw the pillow—covered by his drool—as far away from him as possible. He rolled in the ground and entered an unarmed fighting stance, looking at his surroundings with wide and terrified eyes.

Wait a minute… his sisters were not supposed to be here!

Jaune frowned and stared at Neo holding her Scroll, the face of Saber was on it, probably via Dustnet. His eldest sister had a shit-eating grin on her face as she stared at his fearful from still clad in his blue onesie. Jaune glared at her image and crossed his arms.

"Ha, ha. Very funny Saber."

Saber's image cackled for a moment, behind her, Jaune could see his other sisters. Nero and Astoria were still asleep while the others were already awake. Altria just got out of the shower, showed by her wet body clad only by a towel. On the other hand, Jeanne and Joan were still dressing on the far corner. Jaune stared at them with half closed eyes.

"Enjoying the view lil' bro?"

Saber stood up and showed that she herself was wearing a skimpy nightgown. However, instead of blushing at the sight, Jaune merely yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Meh, I've seen better," he said offhandedly.

Saber twitched but regained a smile as she replied.

"Oh I know. Mum and the others were quite surprised when we saw your collection," she grinned at Jaune. "Big breasts and maid outfit huh? I did not know you have a fetish like that, bro~"

Jaune blushed scarlet and choked.

"What? But I hid those things in places you would not think to search!"

As the only boy in the house—his father doesn't count, that guy's a wimp— Jaune found it hard to suppress his hormones. He was like any other male teenager of his age, he was attracted to sexy girls and had to look at reference materials to satisfy his curiosity. However, living with seven sisters who loved nothing but breach his privacy, Jaune learned how to hide his reference materials in places that they would not easily find.

"True, but mum did a bit of renovation when dad returned early; without any souvenirs."

Jaune gritted his teeth at the revelation.

"So it's that loser's fault!"

In the Arc household—specifically the couch—Aguiluz Arc suddenly had the urge to cry.

"Oh, hey Jaune, how's it going?"

Jeanne moved forward to the camera and waved at him with a smile. Jaune half-heartedly returned the greeting. He had pressing matters to discuss with them. So with a serious tone, he asked Saber.

"What happened to them?"

Saber's grin turned malicious.

"We've taken digital copies of your collections, and guess what?" Jaune shivered at her tone. "We're planning to send those towards your friends with the caption "Jaune Arc's Fantasia" how's that?"

"Y-you evil bastard!"

Faced with her declaration, Jaune shuddered. His friends back at home would never look at him the same way again!

"Well. It has been a good morning. Goodbye Jaune," Saber laughed. "Be sure to check your e-mail to see your friends' reactions!"

The other line suddenly went blank and Jaune was left with a twitching face. He stared at Neo who only looked at him with sadistic glee. She was already dressed in her uniform, a black blazer with red skirt and ribbon; she also wore brown stockings that hide her legs. Jaune noticed that she liked to dress conservatively, not revealing unnecessary skin like female Hunters do nowadays. The prime example was Yang.

He glared at her and frowned.

"Someday, I'm going to have my revenge.

She adorned a challenging smirk in response.

『Chapter six: Sisters』

After his brief talk with his sister, Jaune went to shower in a bad mood. He cursed his luck and his father's clumsiness, now all of his friends would think of him as a pervert; which he was not. He was only curious about the opposite sex and did not want to ask his sisters lest he wanted to be their teasing material. Seriously, just because he had some… okay, a lot of reference materials doesn't mean that he was a sexual predator.

Now, if he could only say that to his friends…

Jaune sent a glare at the girl hopping beside him. It was all because of her.

He gritted his teeth and swore vengeance, an absolute prank that will wipe away the cursed smile on her face. Jaune's shoulders started to shake as he imagined things that he could do to her. There were a lot in his mind.

The two of them finally arrived in the cafeteria. Jaune recognized the place as where they slept the other day and where he snapped and was soaped by the scary Glynda Goodwitch. He shuddered at the memory and forced himself to think happy thoughts.

"Jaune, over here!"

As they ordered their meals, his childhood friend, Pyrrha, immediately called Jaune. She and her team were seating in a shared table with team RWBY. Jaune headed to them without any words and was followed by his only teammate.

Ruby waved at them, Weiss rolled her eyes. He noticed Yang stared warily at Neo and then at Ruby, Blake buried her face deeper on her book. He shared a high-five with Pyrrha while Winter politely greeted him and his partner.

"Nora, Ren, this is Jaune. Jaune, they are my teammates."

He smiled at the two and waved. The other male nodded, while the girl stared hard at Neo.

Neo stared back.

Two unblinking faces clashed and another staring contest was started.

Jaune turned to her partner who sighed.

"Nora… thinks that she's Remnant's staring champion…" the boy said.

Jaune sat on the next table and ignored his partner. If that would keep her occupied, he had no problem with it. A sound next to him alerted him of Neo's presence. He stared at where Nora was having a staring contest with an illusion.

How can this girl create illusions so fast?

He grumbled and took a bite on his sandwich… only for it to shatter. Jaune sighed and clenched his hands.

"Neo…"

"…"

"Where the hell is my sandwich?"

"…"

«»«»«»«»«»

Team JNPR parted way with them when it's time for Grimm Studies.

Lucky bastards…

Jaune struggled to stay awake as the man in front of the class told a tale about his younger self having a wrestling match with a Beowolf in their cabbage farm. If it weren't for the mustache, Jaune would never believe his tales. After all, only the coolest badass could have a mustache as thick as that.

On his mind, he remembered a distant memory—back when his father also had a mustache. Until his mother shaved it…

He shook his mind of thoughts about his wimpy dad, he was still mad at him. His collections were full of limited ones that would take him ages to find.

Jaune looked at Neo and noticed that instead of listening, she was writing down the drawings on the blackboard. She was surprisingly, diligent, when it comes to lessons. Jaune did not expect that from the evil girl. He then turned his attention towards the teacher, how the hell did his sisters endured this kind of training?

Jaune yawned and forced himself no to succumb at the dark temptation of sweet sleep.

"…so who amongst you believe to be the embodiment of these traits?"

"I DO, SIR!"

He was jerked back to the real world as he heard Weiss' loud yell. He turned in the front and saw that Peter Port was pointing at the cage containing a beast inside. Meanwhile, Weiss left the room to wear her combat outfit and grab her weapon. Neo was already halfway in taking down notes.

A few minutes later, Weiss returned, armed and ready.

The battle started good, with Weiss dodging the enraged Boarbatusk's attacks. However, her mood started to get bad when Ruby started to cheer her. She did not take her leader's advices kindly. As her mood deteriorated, her fighting style became ragged, devoid of elegance. In the end, Weiss won by using her Semblance. She was exhausted from a fight that she could have won with tactics and a calm head.

Then she forced the blame on Ruby.

This escalated in a fight when class ended and the six of them were waiting for team WNPR to arrive.

"I was only trying to encourage you! What is your problem?"

Ruby replied to Weiss harsh comments. She was getting teary eyes while Yang started to glare at Weiss for yelling at Ruby. Blake sighed and opened her book, ignoring them. Neo did not care at them and did not pay the slightest attention while Jaune desperately prayed for someone to stop them before the issue gets messier.

"My problem is you! Who in their right mind would make a little girl a leader? Our very lives depend on a decision made by a kid!"

Ah, so that was her problem. Jaune looked over RWBY and saw that none of the other two members would try to stop the fight. Yang would explode soon and everything would be harder to understand. He did not want to get in trouble in his first day.

"Now Weiss, don't you think that the Headmaster have his reasons for choosing Ruby?"

The heiress' attention was now directed at him.

"The Headmaster is a deranged man!" she then glared at him. "Besides what would you know? You're a leader and had your special team."

He did not miss the way she sneered at the last part. Okay, she was getting hard to tolerate. Jaune frowned but did not make a retort at her. This was a team problem, the ones who should resolve this was the members. But looking at them, Jaune could not help but feel doubt.

"Don't be rude to Jaune! Just because you're jealous doesn't mean you can be a meanie to everyone!"

Weiss snarled at Ruby's words.

"I am not jealous! I have no reason to be! I am better than you are, better than him!"

Ruby glared at Weiss, Yang's eyes were turning red. A battle was inevitable. Jaune was thankful that none of them had their weapons. He glanced at Neo for help but stopped when he saw that she had an anticipating look at her face.

A cold voice made its presence known.

"Why, Weiss, I never thought you think so highly of yourself."

Winter arrived with her team, her expression ice cold. He always thought that she was the kind of easy going girl who rarely gets angry, alas, he was wrong. Winter had an oppressing aura that negated Weiss' angered demeanor.

Weiss glared at her sister.

"I am better than them. Do you think otherwise, Winter?"

"I think… that Ruby is right. Weiss, you are indeed jealous of her position."

Weiss seethed and barely restrained herself from attacking.

"I AM BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU!"

Snap! Jaune seem to hear something snap. He looked around and saw that Nora was hiding behind Ren while Pyrrha was staring at Winter with a surprised expression. The leader of team WNPR, however, was only smiling. Her smile reminded him of his sisters' whenever they were going to hunt Grimm.

"Go to the training area Weiss. I need to beat some sense to you."

Her message clear, Winter turned and walked away.

«»«»«»«»«»

Weiss and Winter stood opposite of each other in the middle of the field.

On the sides, Jaune and Neo were the only ones watching. Ren had decided that the presence of the other members of RWBY and WNPR would not help Weiss cool down from her episode. However, someone needs to stop them if they go out of hand, thus, their presence.

Weiss' weapon was a one-handed rapier, while Winter's was a two meter lance.

Their rules in their duel were simple. The first one who shows signs of being unable to battle is considered as the loser. If any more attacks were to be made, it was up to the two of them to subdue. From her expression, Neo was clearly hoping to do her job.

"Let us make a bet sister," Winter spoke. "If I win, you will apologize to the rest of your team and Jaune. Furthermore, you would get over your petty jealousy and accept the decision made by the Headmaster."

Weiss frowned.

"Oh, and what would I get if I win?"

Winter smiled.

"I would voluntarily step down from my position and declare you as the leader of team WNPR. How does that sound?"

Weiss did not reply but it was clear in her expression that she was considering the offer. Winter studied her sister for a moment before turning at Jaune to give a wink. A minute later, Weiss closed her eyes and took a fighting stance.

"I accept."

No words were needed to be said.

Weiss delivered the first attack, she used a Glyph to boost her speed. She charged towards Winter and prepared to struck her sword. In retaliation, Winter redirected the attack with the tip of her lance. Weiss somersaulted and landed on a Glyph in the air, sending her towards her sister. Winter jumped and did a double-handed thrust; the two of them exchanged blows. Weiss lacked the strength but her wise usage of her Glyphs helped her in adding the needed power in her attacks. Whenever she would thrust, a small Glyph would appear on behind her elbow and add power.

Winter retreated from the rapid attacks. She twirled her lance to block the Dust attacks. When Weiss charged again, Winter swung her lance in a low arc and tripped her. Weiss made a Glyph midair and pushed herself towards her, Winter evaded, but another Glyph appeared where Weiss landed and sent her once again to her target. Winter also charged, her weapon armed in front. Weiss stepped out of the way and released a long range attack.

The base of Winter's lance opened and water was let out. However, instead of dripping in the ground, water floated around Winter like a snake. The water formed a pillar that absorbed the attack and contained the explosions.

Winter let the water move towards Weiss. The latter used Dust in order to freeze the water, but Winter was also expecting that, from the tip of her lance, fire erupted and melted the ice, creating steam that covered them.

Weiss made a Glyph and escaped the steam. She then released Lightning type Dust that traveled over the steam and created sparks all around. In response, Winter made the steam move away from her and towards Weiss.

Weiss made a Glyph to block the steam that was carrying electric current, but the steam moved around and continued to near. Weiss jumped back, only to widen her eyes when she saw Winter behind her, lance readied.

Weiss was struck hard and was thrown towards the steam were she was electrocuted by the flowing current in the body of steam. She yelped in pain, but did not give up. Weiss created a Glyph below her with the symbol of a clock. She escaped the steam with a wince. Glyphs appeared around them as Weiss was sent around by them. Winter used water to covered herself from the onslaught of attacks, and then formed a hand of water which grabbed Weiss foot midair and slammed her on the ground.

Winter released control of the water and let it collapse at Weiss, wetting her.

Weiss eyes widened, and without a words, lighting was released from the tip of Winter's lance. The attack was certainly enough to make Weiss unconscious, even when protected by her aura. Winter let the attack continued a second longer before she stopped.

"My win, sister."

«»«»«»«»«»

Winter made Jaune carry Weiss into the infirmary.

"Shouldn't you be the one carrying Weiss?" Jaune asked. "I mean, isn't that the moment where you would talk alone and say sweet things? Then Weiss would pretend to sleep while listening and would understand her mistakes? Then everything fixed?"

Winter let out an amused chuckled.

"Why would I do that? Besides, isn't it usually the prince who carries the princess?"

"In that case, shouldn't you be the princess? You won after all," Jaune said offhandedly.

In response, Winter acted as if shocked by his words.

"Oh my, are you planning to lay your hands on me too? Is Weiss not enough for the lustful prince?"

Jaune choked on air and Neo took a picture of him.

"Fufu, you're too easy~" Winter chuckled again. "But I won't blame you. After all, why settle for one?"

Jaune rolled his eyes and started to walk faster. He went to Beacon to escape his sisters. He won't allow someone to tease him now he was free from them. Behind him, Winter also walked faster in order to catch up.

"So Jaune, you better get used carrying Weiss like that. It would be helpful when the two of you start to go out."

Jaune paused for a moment and stared at Winter.

"Why are you so intent in making it look like I'm going to court her?"

In response, Winter shrugged as if it was obvious.

"You two look cute together. Weiss is not honest with her feelings, and you're oblivious. Isn't that the trend nowadays?"

"…"

"See? Even Neo is agreeing with me."

Now that the two of them were ganging up on him, Jaune unconsciously imagined a scene where the two of them collaborated. Neo would want him to be embarrassed while Winter would help her do what she wants… definitely not something he wants.

No matter what, he must prevent that from happening.

«»«»«»«»«»

In the infirmary; Jaune wisely declined to join the two girls in having tea, and instead, sat in the chair besides Weiss' bed.

"Somehow, I get the feeling that they planned this,"

Jaune muttered as he looked around hoping to see something that would help him pass time. In the bed, Weiss was still unconscious from being electrocuted. Jaune recalled the fight and realized that Winter's skill surpasses Weiss. The former had good control on her agility and strength while the latter settled for speed. In his opinion, Weiss could do better if she had better control over her emotions. He thought being an heiress, she was already used in keeping her emotions on check.

In the end, he was not able to find anything but a week old magazine. Jaune settled in browsing the magazine and kept his ears open in hopes to catch some signal if the two girls outside decide to do something that involves him and trouble.

A few minutes passed and the girl in the bed stirred.

Although Jaune noticed, he did not move from his position and waited for her to initiate conversation. He was sure that Neo would somehow catch it in film if he fail to try talking to Weiss.

After a few moments, Weiss spoke.

"I lost…"

The tone of her voice said that she was not surprised in the slightest. Jaune removed his eyes and the magazine and stared at Weiss, who had her gaze fixed at the ceiling. Unlike earlier, her expression was calmer and thoughtful.

"What was I thinking? I have never won against her in the first place,"

Weiss sighed and got up from her lying position. She looked around the room and settled her gaze at him.

"I guess I owe you an apology, huh? Ruby and my teammates too…"

Jaune closed what he was reading and stared at Weiss. He did not know how to ask the question but it seems that the other girls guessed what he wanted to ask.

"I will admit it, but I'm jealous of her," she whispered. "All I want is to catch up to her. But the gap got wider with her position as a leader… I guess that's what made me mad."

She shook her head and removed her tiara, making her hair fall. Jaune stared at her with captivation. He noticed that Weiss glanced at his expression and he reacted by averting his gaze. The white-haired girl snorted in amusement.

"I let my emotions take over me, I'm such a fool," she bit her lower lip. "Now I need to apologize to my team, and to you too,"

Jaune placed the magazine in the desk beside him.

"I don't really mind, but I think you really need to apologize to Ruby; and settle whatever problems you have on the way…"

"Easy for you to say," Weiss snorted. "By the way… where is she?"

"She… is with Neo," Jaune grimaced. "They're talking about… something."

Weiss also showed a terrified expression but removed it from her face a second later. She got off the bed and faced him.

"Let's get this over with…" she took a deep breath. "Jaune… even though you're a pervert, I still want to apologize for being unnecessarily rude."

Jaune twitched and forced a smile.

Ha! It took a while to write this. Did you miss me? Huh, you didn't even noticed my absence? How cruel of you!

Anyway, I feel bad about this chapter. I don't think I expressed it good enough. But oh well. So we now discovered that Winter uses a lance and her Semblance is control of water. I have planned something else on her fighting style but I did not want to reveal it here. Sadly, I forgot to write about more character interactions after I finished writing. Sigh.

If any of you are disappointed in Weiss, I apologize.

Tell me your thoughts and leave a review.
