So... Uh...

Hello! Not sure if this will actually posted, but if it is, then hi! This is just a little idea I had when reading another Fic, and I just wanted it written down somewhere. If this is posted then I'm not sure if it will continue afterwards or not.

This is kinda new for me (FIRST FANFIC) so, yeah. Criticism is indeed welcome so that I can get better at this.

Suffice it to say, Jaune Arc's week couldn't get anymore hectic. Er... actually more like a couple weeks now that he thought about it.

It started off normal, and all was pretty good. Normal classes, Cardin was finally off his back, and everything seemed good. Then he heard commotion from Team RWBY's room, and the next day Blake was gone. Ruby told him not to worry, and that it was a 'team issue', but Jaune was still worried. He and the rest of JNPR caught the news that night, only to see their sister team at the docks with a blond Faunus guy. They got back, and RWBY was going to talk to Ozpin. A couple days later, they had joint team meeting, and found out that not only was Blake a Faunus with 'cute little kitty ears' as Ruby had put it, but also that she was also EX-White Fang.

To top it all off, he found a baby Faunus...

And subsequently decided to take care of the child.

Now... luckily enough for Jaune, the 'Tween Semester Break' had just begun, and Jaune stayed at Beacon in order to continue training. And maybe also because he still hadn't spoken to his parents in sense leaving to become a Huntsman.

He decided to train alone on the outskirts of the Emerald Forest. After all, it was close to Beacon for a reason. He had been in the middle of a fight with a Beowolf, when, all of a sudden, he heard a wailing, like a child was crying. Quickly beheading the Beowolf, Jaune rushed into the forest, to find another Beowolf stalking up to a tree.

Jaune ran forward, alerting the Beowolf to his presence. He didn't care because he could tell that the source of the crying was coming from the other side of the tree. When he got there, he noticed a small basket with a child inside. He then heard the Beowolf behind him growl, and he quickly took out his shield to block a swipe. 'Thanks Pyrrha' he thought to himself, before retaliating with a flurry of slashes. The creature was swiftly struck down, as he turned to the source of the, still constant wailing.

"Sssssshhhhh" he said. "It'll be okay" He said in a tone he only reserved for his younger sisters.

The child stopped crying to look at the face of it's savior. Jaune then decided to return to the field on the outskirts of the Emerald Forest before stopping, and finally checking the baby for any damage. Luckily, there was none, and as he took the child out of it's basket, he noticed a piece of paper just below where the baby was.

"Greetings. If you're reading this, then that means you found my child" it read. "and you may think it irresponsible to leave my 10 month old baby in a Grimm infested forest," 'which it was.' Jaune thought. "there were certain circumstances that forced me to do this." 'What kind of Circumstances forces you to leave your pride and joy in the maws of death!?' thought Jaune. He continued reading the letter, through it he learned that the child was female, named Shea, and already had her Aura unlocked, as well as an extra Aura Shield. 'Must be so she would die immediately if a Beowolf found her.'

Upon closer inspection, Shea had a royal shade of purple hair, chocolate brown eyes, and two cat ears that were the same shade of purple as her hair. 'Heh, they kinda remind me of Blake's. But these are a different shape, almost like a Lynx's...'

Wait a second...

HOW WAS HE GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE TEAMS!?

While Jaune was having this mental panic Shea just looked on confused.

'Okay, so Ruby and Yang went to visit their father over break, and Weiss went to Atlas, so I shouldn't have to worry about them. Pyrrha also went to visit her family in Mistral, but that still leaves Blake, Ren, and Nora.'

To be honest, he was most concerned about Nora. Not because she would purposely hurt a baby (he hoped), but because of how hyper she would be when she found out. Actually, how would he get the child into Beacon? He doubted he could just walk through the doors, and nobody would notice how he suddenly had a child with him.

Lokks like a meeting with Ozpin is in order.

"And that's how it happened" He concluded. Jaune was currently sat in front of the Headmaster of Beacon, trying to figure out what to do with his current situation.

Ozpin, while listening to Jaune's tale, was reading the letter that was in Shea's basket. He gave a small sigh, and said, "Mr. Arc, I believe that the best course of action would be to put this child up for adoption." Ozpin stated.

Jaune didn't like that option. Orphanages usually didn't treat Faunus' the best. Most of them usually preferred taking care of Humans, leaving the Faunus to scrounge around for leftovers for food, or end up crying themselves to sleep at night. He didn't want anything bad to happen to this child here, even if he just met her a half-hour ago.

"I don't think that would be a good decision sir."

"Well what would you suggest them Mr. Arc?"

That was the question of the day, now wasn't it? There weren't many options available. Sense orphanages were off the table, the only other real option would be for someone here to take care of her. They couldn't just send her into Vale at only 10 Months of age, and putting her back in the forest was a definitive N-O-P-E. So immediate adoption was preferable.

"Well I think that someone here in Beacon should take care of her."

Ozpin had expected that Jaune would say that and had already started planning out who could in his head. He himself was off the table, sense he had an entire school to run. Glynda? Well the child should grow up with a social life, not try and speak through pointed glares. Oobleck? Honestly he would be the most responsible out of all of them, but at the same time, he spends most of his free time studying new things of interest, which could be bad if he didn't pay attention to the child enough. Port? Just... no.

Ozpin ran through all of the options just like that. Even considering sending her to Mistral, or Atlas, and even considering some responsible Seniors of that year, but in the end, he couldn't come up up with anyone aside from...

"Mr. Arc, I do believe that it would be best if you yourself took care of this child."

…

…

What?

And that's how Jaune ended up standing in front of the door to his dorm, recounting the last couple weeks, and coming to the conclusion that the Universe itself wanted him to suffer.

So... I guess that's the end of this chapter. What do you guys think. I for one think that it was pretty good, though maybe I'm just being optimistic.

I decided to upload this when, partway through, maybe half, I literally couldn't stop myself from writing. Again first time doing this, so if it's received well, I just might continue with this.
