"So," Jaune began looking to his frosty partner, "is there a reason you currently look ready to stab me, or is that how you look at every one?"

Weiss continued walking, ignoring the dragon faunus, looking toward the rest of his team for guidance and only getting confused shrugs in return. Sighing he shook his head and continued walking.

"Well this sucks, at least we're not late for class." Just as he finished saying this they came to the classroom door, just as they entered they were tackled through by his sister's team.

"I know it's almost time to begin, but please don't cause a scene coming in." Looking up Jaune say a stern looking woman glaring down at them.

"Well they do say first impressions should be memorable." His smile at the joke died a slow death battling her scowl. He could feel the anger radiating from her, great first day of school, at least it couldn't get worse.

Jaune sat at the lunch table chewing his food, the day got worse. First Ms Goodwitch had given him detention for his joke, (Yang liked it so that counts for something right?), then Weiss started talking to them again, only she was complaining that she wasn't team leader, then he got yelled at in grimm studies for falling asleep. Today sucked to say the least.

"You okay lizard boy?" Yang asked across the table, smirking at him.

"Please don't call me that Yang, I'm not in the mood. I've had a shitty day." Jaune sighed as the smirk left Yang's face.

Just as Pyrrha was about to say something the silence was broken by cries of pain, across the room a group of guys was bullying a rabbit faunus, pulling her ears and making crude jokes. Juane's scowl could curdle milk.

"Hey Ruby, you gonna drink that soda?" Jaune asked.

"Huh? No I'm not thirsty wh-" before she could finish her question Jaune had grabbed the soda, stood up and whipped it with all his strength. The lunchroom went silent as the can exploded against the bullies head.

"If you fuckers wanna pick on faunus then try me on for size!" Jaune screamed as he slammed his fist on the table, and started toward them.

The three bullies still standing ran as he left the table. Walking over to the faunus girl he helped her up from the ground and looked at her ear, it was bleeding from the bully pulling on it.

"I can fix your ear for you, just stay still for a second, I promise I won't hurt you." He waited for her to nod before gently putting his hand on her ear, after he was done it had stopped bleeding. He smiled and said goodbye, the poor girl didn't notice the blood running from his ear as he left.

Jaune left the room without even talking to his team. Team Ribbon and the rest of team Jasper looked on in shock, all but Blake, who sat there with a sad look in her eyes.

"Is he okay?" Ruby asked looking worried for her team leader.

"No," Blake said looking down at her plate, "he's not. He just needs to be alone for a few minutes."

"How can you say that? He's bleeding from the ear and just knocked out another student, he needs someone to talk to." Weiss said as she stood up to follow him, only to stop as Blake grabbed her wrist.

"I've known him for years, this is nothing compared to what he's been through or done." Blake had a far away look in her eyes as she looked at the girl in white.

"What he's done?" Ruby asked looking at her confused. "Did he do something bad?"

"It's not my place to say, you'd have to ask him." Blake shook her head, "I don't know if he'll tell you. He doesn't like to talk about it." The members of team JSPR still in the room looked toward their leaders exit point, curiosity in their eyes.

When the rest of team JSPR returned to their room it was empty, but upon listening they could hear the shower going in the bathroom. When the water stopped they stood ready to ambush their leader with questions, but they were not prepared for the sight of him entering the room. The first thing they noticed was his lack of shirt, and after the initial embarrassment, they noticed the scarred visage of his chest.

"What happened to you?" Pyrrha asked, startling Jaune who hadn't even noticed they were there.

"Life can be hard when you're a faunus, you get used to it." He stated simply, as if having scars that could be mistaken for a road map of a large city was commonplace.

"A hard life alone shouldn't leave that many scars," Weiss said in a hushed voice.

"What would you know of a hard life?" Jaune asked as he started toward his dresser, "I know for a fact your family treated you better than mine did me." Weiss' eyes followed him to argue, when they caught a glimpse of the dust tattoo on his back, "I mean, did your father sell you into slavery?" He looked at the girls over his shoulder waiting for an answer, but they were to busy looking at the white snowflake in the center of his back. The Schnee family crest.

"What the hell, who gave you that tattoo?" Weiss demanded, rage evident on her face. "Tell me, now!" A strange spasm went through his body as the tattoo glowed faintly.

"Your father put this on me," He said through gritted teeth, "the blend of dust in it makes it so I can't disobey the direct order of my owner."

"That's horrible," Ruby said as she covered her mouth. Then a question pushed its way to the front of her mind, "then why did it react to Weiss?"

"Because, before I killed the guards outside my cell and escaped," He turned toward Weiss a deep seated sadness in his eyes, "I was supposed to be a birthday present for her."
