To everyone doubting whether or not Winter would actually kill those faunus let me remind you that she is a soldier. If she is ordered to do something she will do it otherwise she will be court marshaled for insubordination. Anyone in the military can tell you the penalties for disobeying orders. It's not a matter of right or wrong, it's simply following orders. Let's do this shit.
"So this is going to be a regular thing isn't it?" Ren asked Pyrrha as the group of four students made their way to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Pyrrha glanced back at Nora who had the still sleeping form of Jubei slung over her shoulder, so far this had occurred nearly everyday since initiation. Jubei would always be the last to wake up by a matter of hours, he'd usually end up waking up on his own around ten or eleven in the morning. Until then nothing they did had any effect on the boy. "Yeah I think so, do you think we should ask Ruby or Yang for advice?"
"It couldn't hurt." The stoic teen replied as they pushed the door open and enter the cafeteria.
The team quickly gathered their food and made their way to the table they always shared with team RWBY. "Morning guys!" Nora announced their arrival as she set down a massive plate of pancakes before also dropping off the still sound asleep Jubei.
"Hey Nora, Ren, Pyrrha." Ruby yawned while taking a bite of her cereal, the rest of team Ruby looking equally groggy and tired. "Jj is still out cold huh?" She looked at her unconscious cousin who was lightly drooling on the table.
"Indeed, we were hoping you could help us with that actually. You wouldn't happen to know any trick to waking him up would you?" Pyrrha asked biting into an apple.
Yang shook her head. "Nope, the only person able to successfully wake a sleeping Jubei is our Uncle Qrow. We don't know how he does it but he can get the lazy bum up in a instant." Yang explained with a piece of bacon in her mouth. "We've tried everything, hot water, cold water, loud noises, slapping, punching, bribery. Nothing works, he'll just wake up when he wants to."
Pyrrha sighed as she continued on her apple, other than a small amount of small talk the breakfast pasted by quietly until the two teams got up and made their way off to their first class.
Later
Weiss frowned at the still sleeping form of Jubei Branwen, their argument from the day before was still fresh in her mind and had left a rancid taste in her mouth. Yang didn't return to their dorm room until several hours later and had been giving her odds looks ever since. She hadn't said anything to her yet and she doesn't seem to have spoken to Ruby but she still wanted to know what was up. She didn't really care what a faunus thought about her, even if his words had hurt, but Yang and Ruby were her teammates and she couldn't afford to alienate half of her entire team.
She was soon brought out of her thoughts as the bell rang signalling the end of Port's class, just as when they walked in Nora grabbed Jubei and threw him over her shoulder as team JNPR made their way to their next class. Weiss took this opportunity to try an figure out what was going on. As the four girls exited out into the hallway she spoke up. "Yang, may I have a word." Weiss got the blondes attention along with the other two girls.
"What?" Yang didn't respond in anger but the short reply definitely set the tone.
"Ever since last night when you got back to the dorm you've been acting strangely towards me. I'd like to ask what is wrong." Weiss didn't have much if any experience in finding out if their was tension between her and others, she had never really care before as she'd never actually had anyone she could consider a friend so this was new territory for her.
"Nothings wrong Weiss." Yang frowned while crossing her arms, Ruby had been able to tell something was off as well with her sister.
"Are you certain, I've seen the looks you've been giving me." Weiss pushed further.
"Actually I've noticed that to Yang." Ruby added.
Yang looked to her younger sister with a small frown. "I don't wanna talk about it." Yang made to turn and walk away when Weiss grabbed her shoulder.
"Hey I'm still talki-" She was cut off when Yang spun around and smacked her hand away.
"Don't touch me Schnee." Yang snapped at the white haired girl surprising everyone present, even Blake had closed her book at this point and started paying attention.
"What is wrong with you!?" Weiss demanded looking startled at the reaction.
"Wrong with me? What's wrong with you!?" Yang threw the question back. "Ever since you met him you've treated our cousin like trash and all because he's a faunus! You're nothing but a spoiled little bigot whose no better than Cardin and his goons!"
"How dare you, I'm your teammate! I am not a bigot!" Weiss defended while crossing her arms.
"Like hell you aren't, you and your whole family are basically the all stars of the racist world! After talking with Jubei last night I decided to do a little research on your families company and their practices. Your father and grand father have been exploiting faunus labor for years and every time someone is about to step forward with proof of the racist practices enforced by your company they always 'mysteriously disappear'. You are so obvious with your racism that it's painful, the looks you give our faunus classmates all the way to how you speak to Jubei. If you weren't my teammate I'd have already kicked your ass back to Atlas!" Yang shouted into the heiresses face all while her eyes burned red and her hair shined with fire. "You wanna know what's wrong Weiss, I'll tell you. I don't like you or your family and if I had it my way, you wouldn't have any form of contact with my sister or cousin! Stick around and keep our teams average grade up or go back home to daddy and live off all that blood money, I don't care which, but leave me and Jubei the hell alone!" With that Yang turned around and stormed off leaving a silent hallway full of students staring at the Schnee heiress.
Ruby couldn't help but watch her sister walk away with a gaping mouth, she never noticed Blake following after her older sister with a ghost of a smile on her face. Turning to Weiss she was surprised again to see tears running down the girls face. "Weiss I..."
Weiss didn't stay to listen and only spun around and took off running while doing her best to conceal her tears though the light sobs could be heard as she ran.
With Jubei
Jubei let out a long yawn as he opened his eyes and stretched his arms, using his hand he wiped his eyes before looking around. "Look who decided to wake up." Yang chirped from behind him causing him to turn around in the seat he sat in.
"Where is everybody?" He let out another yawn as he looked around for his team.
"Your team is in the ring right now." Blake spoke without looking up from her book.
Glancing down from his spot in the bleacher he saw Nora and Ren attacking Pyrrha as a team, said redhead was doing an impressive job in repelling their efforts. It made sense that Glynda wouldn't bother trying to get him to take part as it wouldn't really be a fair fight if he was to take part. Nodding to himself Jubei looked back to the three girls sitting behind him before pausing. "Where's the princess?" He asked Yang after noticing Weiss's absence and Ruby's noticeably down mood.
"Don't know, don't really care." Yang shrugged earning a frown from Jubei.
"What happened?"
"We got into an argument and I told her what I thought about her, she ran away and I haven't seen her since." The blonde explained further, she didn't seem to notice Ruby looking more depressed with every word.
"I see." He nodded before standing up and popping his joints. "Well, I missed breakfast and since I don't need to be here for this, I'm gonna hit up the cafeteria. Later." He waved to the three girls as he made his way towards the door.
After exiting into the hallway he let out a deep sigh. "A guy can't sleep in without waking up to shit." He knew this was partially his fault after flipping out on Weiss the day before and telling Yang what he had. He knew Ruby was likely hurting pretty bad at the moment, Weiss was her partner, but she loved him in Yang to much to side against them in this type of problem. He hated seeing Ruby upset, she was just as much of a younger sister to him as she was to Yang. "So how do I fix this shit?" He mumble as he walked down the hallway. "Well finding her would be a start."
He smiled before popping a candy into his mouth, most would have trouble finding a single person in a place as big as Beacon, but finding people was his specialty.
It only took about ten minutes for Jubei to locate the still crying heiress sitting under a tree on the outskirts of the campus, near the cliff overlooking the Emerald forest. Sitting with her arms wrapped around her legs hugging them to her chest he could here her whimpering. Jubei walked up and leaned against the tree she sat under without making a sound.
"Did you know neither Ruby nor I ever really knew our mothers?" Jubei spoke up after almost a minute of silence causing Weiss to let out a yelp and jump to her feet.
"Wha- what do you want, go away now!" Weiss shouted point away from her while trying to hide her red puffy eyes.
Jubei just ignored her. "Ruby's mom died when she was very young, to young to really have gotten to know her, or even remember much about her." He continued taking several steps past the glaring Weiss and towards the edge of the cliff. "I, on the other hand, was found abandoned in the middle of a grimm infest forest as an infant by my dad, so I doubt I need to explain how I never met my mom, but that never really bothered me." Jubei didn't look back to see if the girl was listening to him, though he could tell she was still there. "Yang's mom ran off and abandoned her and uncle Tai not long after she was born. This left him and my dad to do most of the work when it came to raising the three of us. Imagine that, two huntsmen trained to fight monsters, one with a drinking problem and the other having lost both of his children's mothers so close together, trying to raise three kids."
Jubei chuckled to himself at the memories as he took a seat with his legs hanging over the ledge. "Neither had the slightest clue of how to raise girls which should be pretty obvious by how Yang turned out, but don't let her attitude fool you, she's sharper then she lets on. After Summer died Yang started to take on the role of being a mom, in her own way of course. She's as protective over me and Ruby as she is because she spent most of her life watching out for us. Even now that I'm a great deal stronger than her, she still insists on trying to protect me, even if she doesn't know it. She's the best big sister someone could ask for, but of course she makes mistakes." Jubei finally turned to Weiss. "I don't know or care what was said between the two of you, nor do I really care how you feel about me specifically, but I do care about those two idiots I call my cousins. Ruby likes you, your her friend, and if it'll make her happy I'm willing to forget my personal grudges against your family and instead focus on you as an individual. I can't speak for Yang, and I don't know how you can get back in her graces, but I'm willing to help for Ruby's sake, and Yang's. This is hurting her just as much as you."
Hopping back to his feet, walked over to the girl who looked like her mind was moving at a million miles an hours. "So what do you think, think we can get along Blue?" He asked with a grin causing Weiss's face to turn bright before she fell back into glaring at him.
"Fine."
"Great! Now let's go fix your team." He smiled before wrapping one of his tails around her wrist and started dragging her towards the school.
And there we go, I'm a bit iffy about this chapter but I think it works. Leave me a review and tell me what you all think. Until next time.
