Reading Nora's a Mommy
By SandewrPally
Original work and requested by Curious Kitsune654
It was just another morning for team JNPR. Jaune and Pyrrha had already showered and dressed while Ren was still in the process of waking his partner. Said partner was sleeping off another midnight raid of the kitchen, in which the other three members of team JNPR had to drag her away with the promise of pancakes and syrup in the morning.
"Nora its time to get up." The response Ren received form the bundled-up mound of blanket and pillow was a low groan, much like a bear being displeased.
"Should we use…"
Ren merely shook his head in the negative "We already used that last night."
"But wouldn't it wor-"
Before Pyrrha could finish there was a knock on the door gaining the four teammates attention. Looking between themselves, they shrugged as it was probably their sister team RWBY. Jaune went ahead and answered the door before being bull rushed by a wall of fur. Said fur was attached to nine tails, each with different colored ends. Attached to those tails was a boy, around nine or ten if they were to guess, with blonde hiar accented with red tips. An orange shirt, emblazoned with a red swirl and, surprisingly, Nora's own personal emblems on the sleeves of the shoulders. Black shorts led to combat boots that were similar to what a certain Rose speedster would wear.
Said child had jumped towards Nora, who by now had unfurled herself from her bundle to see said boy streaking towards her.
"Mommy!"
"Wha-"
The boy landed with such force that the bed was summarily destroyed. When team RWBY went to see what all the commotion was about. The sight was four shell-shocked teens, one wrapped up by a child with nine tails.
Sometime later
Both teams sat in front of Ozpin and Glynda who were staring at the enshrouded form of Nora and the child, who had revealed his name as Naruto Valkyrie. While curious as to who the child was the more interesting thing was the book and video file that the faunus boy had brought with him.
"So Naruto…." Ozpin started to get the boy's attention
"Hm?" Several of the assembled women wanted to coo at the adorable boy as he curiously looked at the man.
"How exactly did you arrive at beacon?"
"Oh! Margaret-chan brought me!"
"Margaret?"
"Ah, that would be me."
Everyone present whipped their heads to the sound of a melodious voice. Both Ozpin and Glynda had assumed battle stances, the woman professor aiming her riding crop at the new woman who had entered the office without no one noticing. The women in question was regarding the assembled group with striking yellow eyes. Blonde haired framed a rather enticing face that had a motherly smile as she regarded the boy in Nora's arms. A Blue suit, stylized by several gold buttons, gave the woman a sort of attendant vibe.
"I mean no harm. I was merely ensuring Naruto was safely here at beacon."
At the unspoken question pointed at her Margaret continued "Events spiraled…. Let's say out of control. My benefactor instructed me to bring the little one here, and to provide the necessary information to prevent some things."
The assembled teachers and students stared between the child and book, before Ruby spoke up.
"Soooo this book is about us?"
"Indeed. While some of the affected parties have not arrived, I expect them to arrive within the next few days. Anything else you need can be provided by leaving a message in the scroll attached to the book."
Before anyone could blink Naruto had unwrapped himself from Nora and rushed Margaret "Are you leaving Margaret-chan?"
The woman merely gave the young faunus child a caring smile before leaning down and placing a motherly kiss on his forehead. "Don't be sad little one. You will see my again soon. After all who else would help you develop those oh-so interesting powers?"
Naruto merely held up his little hand with the pinkie extended. "Pinkie promise?"
Margaret wrapped her adult finger around the child's, giving it a squeeze before stepping away.
"I leave him to you all for the time being." With that the mystery woman seemingly disappeared into thin aire after turning around, though one person saw what really happened. Ozpin, attuned to magic as he was, had seen the velvet blue door appear behind the woman. He assumed the reason she had seemingly disappeared was due to the magic the rest of the room did not have. The only ones who would be able to see it would be the maidens and the Branwen twins, due to the magic he had instilled in them.
Picking the book up Ozpin could tell it was unlike any book he had seen, even after all the combined years he had been at this. Looking past the book he could not help but smile as the two first year teams interacted with the boy, who seemed to be familiar with all of them to a certain degree, though Miss Valkyrie seemed to be his favorite.
"Well, I say we convene to a more appropriate location to read and view the events this little one will bring." Rising from his seat and gaining everyone's attention. Following their headmaster they arrived at a separate part of the dorms. The room was more of an apartment than the standard Beacon dorm, with more room and a queen and twin bed. A circular couch filled the rest of the room that was not occupied by the beds, surrounding a large screen for viewing.
As if sensing his students questioning view he elaborated on the purpose of the room. "In the past we have had teachers who feel safer to have their young children close. These parts of the dorms were made with them in mind, and also to be used by Hunters and Huntresses passing through with family or partners."
"Yay! Look Kaa-chan it's our room."
"So it is." Nora murmured, still in a state of semi –shock at the whirlwind of events from this morning to now. Noticing the state of their friend Yang decided to settle down and start the video attached to the book while Blake stared to read. As everyone settled down, with Naruto wrapping his tails around Nora, Ruby and Pyrrha. Surprisingly Weiss looked jealous of her team leader before the video started as Blake read.
Nora's a Mommy!
-Chapter 1-
It was late at night as one Nora Valkyrie wandered the halls of Beacon Academy on a mission. Nora was a short girl with bright orange hair, curvy body that hid her well-developed and deceptively powerful muscles, and *eh-hem* moderately large assets.
Jaune and Ren, being the only teenage boys in the room, blushed as Nora was described. Though Ren was more subdues having been around the lightening girl most of his life. Yang merely puffed her own chest out in response, earning a twitching brow from Weiss.
She currently wore a black shirt with the word 'Boop' written across the chest area and bright pink short shorts covered in lightning bolt patterns that did nothing to cover her toned legs.
This mission she was on was one of great importance, a matter of life and death, nothing was of higher priority than her current task. Absolutely nothing would stop her from completing such an important task. What is this mission you may wonder?
Both Ruby and Naruto were completely enraptured in the story, while the rest of teams RWBY and JNPR already had a good idea as to what the story was referring to.
*Gurrrrrr* "…Need pancakes," Nora was hungry.
Everyone snickered as Nora merely gave a Weiss like scoff.
She was currently on her way to the kitchen to make herself a late-night snack as she had already eaten her emergency pancakes, and Ren was to asleep at the moment to make some for her. That was fine though, she could just go make some herself, it wasn't like she couldn't cook for herself.
Everyone's attention was focused on Ren, who had his face in his pam as if to dispel some unpleasant memories.
-Mini Flashback-
"It wasn't my fault…" A slightly younger Nora pouted, now wearing her usual combat attire, as she and her closest bestest friend Lie Ren, a young man of Asian looking descent with black hair that had a single pink stripe, pink eyes, and wearing a green, black, and gold tailcoat and white pants, stood in front of a blackened stove.
"I just asked you to boil some water," Ren said in a tired voice as he palmed his face.
"Dang, looks like we can't call dad the worst cook in Remnant anymore." Yang said, much to the agreement of Ruby.
"I'm almost scared to ask."
"Two words. Ruined cookies." Ruby said as if it was the most tragic thing to occur ever.
-End Mini Flashback-
She could totally cook just fine.
Wandering along the darkened halls of Beacon all by herself was a bit boring though as she had nobody to talk to though, so she livened it up a little. "I'm queen of the castle~, I'm queen of the castle~." She sang to herself as she cartwheeled down the last stretch of hallway and finally reached her destination.
"Where did that come from?" Jaune asked.
"It's a Nora thing." Ren responded as he smiled. The reason for htat was the image of Naruto and Nora humming the same tune in sync.
"Yay! Time for pancakes!" She cheered happily while rushing over to the massive fridge at the back of the room. Pulling open the heavy door with ease, she started to reach inside only to freeze. "Uuuuh, what's used to make pancakes again?" She asked herself while scratching her head.
"Miss Valkyrie." Was the stern voice of one Glynda Goodwitch "It seems we need to have a discussion about after hour use of the kitchen.
"Oh, I know, I'll just look it up." Nora reached into her pocket for her scroll, only to end up finding it missing. 'Oops, must of left it on my nightstand," She thought sheepishly then pouted. "Aw, that means I'll have to use a cookbook, but books are sooooo boring." Drooping her head, she slowly shuffled over to where non-perishables were stored.
When she got close though, she paused when she noticed the door was partly open and she could hear soft crunching sounds coming from inside. Curious, she quietly peers inside the doorway to see…
"Hey its me!" Naruto exclaimed, starting to remember when he first met his mother. Everyone nodded, having seen the massive wall of tails on the screen.
'Are those tails?' Nora asked herself in thought as she gazed at the fluffy appendages lazily swaying through the air. There were nine of them total, all mostly dark red in color with light blond ends and if she had to guess around eight feet long and very dirty. Each individual one though had a slightly different colored tint near the tips, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, light blue, white, and brown, that glowed ever so slightly.
Ruby and Pyrrha were contently stroking said tails, avoiding the glowing ends as they discovered they contained the element of the same color of dust types. Which was why Ruby was stroking the tail onehanded, as Weiss was slowly thawing her hand that was in a block of ice.
Following the tails to their source, Nora was further surprised to see them all connected to a single person. A young faunus boy, maybe seven or eight years old, with messy blonde hair with red tips, wearing a tattered black shirt that hung off his skinny frame and equally tattered shorts. She couldn't see his face do to him looking away from her, but she could see that he was clutching a glowing red crystal in his hand that she easily recognized as burn dust.
Wondering what he was doing with it, Nora's curiosity quickly turned to shock and horror as the child popped the whole thing into his mouth… AND STARTED CHEWING! "AHH! SPIT THAT OUT!"
"Wait what?!" Were the several surprised shouts from the assembled group. Whipping their heads between the Naruto on the screen and the one in Nora's lap. Naruto merely looked confused as everyone stared at him.
"What? Its candy."
"Perhaps we will discover the answer in the story." Ozpin suggested, figuring it would be explained or shown an example of what effect the dust would have on the child. He had a feeling those tails didn't emit powers that were the same as the color dust they shared.
Reacting without thinking, she burst into the room screaming, causing the boy to snap his head in her direction and freeze, revealing glowing red eyes filled with terror and puffed up whiskered cheeks. In less than a second, Nora tackled the boy to the floor and was in the process of prying his mouth open.
"Ouch." Jaune commented, having been subjected to Nora's 'Friendly' tackles more than once. The rest of the room agreed, though they understood the urgency of said tackle.
Limbs and tails flayed around wildly as he tried to squirm free but thanks to Nora's impressive strength and his own lack of muscle didn't get far. Finally managing to get his mouth open, Nora was just able to see as the crunch up crystals vanished down his throat, no doubt towards his stomach. To stop this, she tried to forcefully induce vomiting by sticking her fingers down his throat but was stopped when she felt a strong shock run through her body.
"You don't think…." Ruby said as she stared at her hand that had previously been frozen by said blue tail.
"It would explain why the dust isn't affecting him at the moment." Weiss said before noticing the rather adorable expression on Naruto's face.
"Can I have some candy Weiss-chan?"
The Schnee heiress tried to resist but, as was the case with her sister (not that she really knew) she soon caved and promised some dust for him later. The rest of her team snickered at the defeat of the W of team RWBY by cuteness.
Not really affected thanks to her semblance, even stronger now because of it, her reason for stopping was due to the fact the electricity was coming from the boy. His entire body was giving off bursts of static that shorted out the nearby electronics, burnt various food items, and even caused a few small explosions when it hit some miscellaneous dust crystals. Nora was brought back to reality when one of the kid's legs kicked her right in the crotch.
An aura of malice seemingly emitted form Glynda, purple much like her semblance as she saw the rather destructive tussle that was happening in the fridge of all places. The two teams silently prayed that Nora had done nothing similar, at least in recent memory.
Meanwhile Nora could fell her others pain as the rather innocent boy snuggled into her, as if wanting to apologize by giving her hugs.
'Super-effective!' Nora soon smiled while rubbing her cheek on the boy's head. Ren noticed this and could only smile at his long-time friend.
"EEEEE!" Collapsing on top of him, her hands instinctively shot down to cover the hurting area. (Un)fortunately for the boy, that still left him trapped under her and now he was being smothered by her chest. It took him several seconds to squirm out and pull his tails free, but by then Nora had recovered from the blow enough to tackle him down again, this time from behind.
"Nora, perhaps tackling the obviously scared child is not the best course of action." Pyrrha then remembered the first action Naruto had taken when Jaune had opened the door "Also not necessarily the best first impression."
"Other me!"
Wrapping her arms under around the squirming kids arms and waist, she got herself into a sitting position with him held firmly into her lap. Feeling another shock run through her, she channeled the charge into her arms and held tightly as he squirmed and wriggled for several minutes until he finally tired himself out. She was surprised several times during this, but not enough to lose her grip this time, when he suddenly turned ice cold, then burning hot, shot both ice, fire, wind and even more electricity out of his mouth and even seemed to get several times heavier before returning to normal.
"So ice, lightening, fire, wind and gravity dust effects." Ozpin commented, looking at the corresponding tail ends. The two teams regarded the small boy excited to see himself meeting Nora for the first time to notice the rather wary looks they were giving the tails at the moment.
She was never gladder for aura then during this as if she didn't have it she would have been badly hurt long before. Turning the now trembling boy so that he was facing her, Nora looked him over with a critical eye. 'How is he still okay, that dust should be burning him alive from the inside out.'
'That's what we want to know.' Was the thoughts of most of the room, besides Nora and Ruby who were now experimenting with the various tails. Safely of course.
Focusing back on his face, the terror etched all over it caused her to wince internally. "P-please do-don't hurt me-e, I j-just wa-wanted something to e-eat." He said with a heavy stutter as he looked towards the floor as his stomach growled loudly.
The students that had led harder lives than their peers and the adults narrowed their eyes at the terror-stricken child, noticing several traits of previous abuse. Answers that would hopefully be answered by the story.
No one wanted to interrogate a child over the past after all.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." Nora said as she stood up and let him go much to his surprise. That surprise quickly turned to embarrassment as she then leaned in close and checked his forehead. Not finding anything unusual, she then checked his stomach where she found a large black sun like tattoo across his belly but other than that he was fine.
"What a-are you d-doing?" He asked nervously, to tired and hungry at this point to run away and thus completely at the girl's mercy. "Making sure you're okay, duh! You just ate an entire burn dust crystal for Oum's sake!"
"Y-you mean the s-spicy c-candy?" Nora froze at these words.
"Who would tell him that was candy?" Ruby asked. The response that Blake and the two teachers thought in response were not pleasant.
"You thought it was candy?" The boy nodded, "Who told you that dust was candy?"
"Uh, this n-nice m-man on a b-b-boat a long time ago. He-he even gave me some p-powdery kind that was su-super minty, th-though he l-l-looked really shocked after I-I ate it and then l-left." Nora stood there, shock (again) at what the boy told her.
"W-Why would someone do that?!" Ruby asked in abject shock.
Blake sighed before pointing to Naruto's tails. "It was more than likely in response to him being a faunus. Some people outside of the kingdoms will do almost anything to get rid of a kid that had such obvious traits."
'Someone tried to kill him by tricking him into eating Ice dust! Oooh if I ever find that sick son of a bitch, Imma break his everything real good.' Nora thought darkly before focusing on the matter at hand.
"You won't be the only one." Yang muttered as she craked her knuckles, getting several nods of agreement from the others.
Deciding to drop the matter for now as if it hadn't hurt him so far, then it likely wasn't going to. "Here, how about I get you some real food then?" She offered while holding out her hand to him. Looking at her suspiciously for a few seconds, the boy's stomach roared once again and he reluctantly took her hand. Smiling happily, Nora led him out of the destroyed storage room and into the kitchen where she plonked him onto a nearby chair and started rifling through a nearby cupboard until she pulled out a box labelled 'Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes' with a picture of a red-headed girl with green eye's wearing a bronze ringlet and a nervous smile on her face.
"Not a really good picture." Pyrrha said, much to her embarrassment. Why had she ever agreed to that.
"By the way, I'm Nora," Nora introduced herself with a smile as she grabbed a jug of milk from the fridge.
"Naruto," The boy said in return as she placed a filled bowl in front of him and handed him a spoon.
"Nice to meet you Naruto." Nora sat down across from him with a bowl of her own.
'Has never used a spoon before,' Nora idly noted as she saw him 'discreetly' observe her use her spoon before sloppily mimicking. Another thing was that he again 'discreetly' added chunks of wind dust into his cereal as he ate from a small pouch he had in his pocket. She watched with barely hidden fascination as he casually ate the volatile material with seemingly no negative effects.
"Ok, now I want to see this. Weiss think you could…."
The Heiress merely huffed in response to Yang's unspoken question before making it a point that her dust wasn't for experimenting. And that she would grab some after the chapter.
Ruby was by now sweating bullets, as she had 'procured' some of her teammates dust in the past for experimenting.
Sure, there were such things as dust infused foods, hence why there was dust in the nonperishables in the first place, but those were comprised at most three percent's worth raw dust and had to be extremely carefully measured.
Feeling it was a bit too quiet for her tastes, she decided to start up some conversation. "Soooo, you ever pull any good pranks?"
"Nora…"
"What? It's a legitimate question."
"Not to some Miss Valkryie." Glynda responded with a creak of her riding crop.
-Twenty Minutes Later-
*Click, click, click, click*
The sound of heels hitting the hard floor echoed loudly through the area as Glynda stalked through the halls of Beacon. It was her job to make sure no students were up to any late-night mischief. Standing at an impressive six foot five, she had bright blond hair and emerald eyes set in a stern gaze. She wore a simple white shirt with keyhole neckline, a black skirt that reached to just below her chest with dull copper buttons, brown/black leggings and heels, and a short black cloak with purple underside that had the bottom cut into arrow and flame patterns.
'It does work for her.' The young women of Teams JNPR and RWBY thought. The boys merely blushed in response.
'This would be entirely unnecessary if Ozpin would just approve of those security cameras for the halls and classrooms. But nooo, that would be an invasion of their privacy he says… not like I'm saying to put them in their rooms and showers. We don't have the budget for it, he says… but we somehow have enough Lien to fill an entire forest with hundreds of cameras instead.'Respect the man she may, but she couldn't help but question some of the decisions he's made for the security of the school. 'Not to mention the fact we have a comatose maiden hidden under the school that someone managed to steal half of her power from and is likely after the rest.'
"What?"
Ozpin had gripped his cane in shock at how easily this secret was revealed. Before his attention was turned to the faunus child as he stood straight while his eyes gained a glazed look. For a brief second Ozpin could have sworn he sensed the Fall maidens power in the boy but….
No, there was too much unknown at this point. Naruto's appearance in this timeline? Had already altered events from what he would assume would be their natural course.
So caught up in her thoughts on the poor security on the grounds, she was barely able to jump out of the way as an orange and red blur barreled down the hallways at high speeds. "Sorry Professor Goodwitch!" The unmistakable voice of Nora yelled as the blur vanished around a corner.
The creaking of a riding rod was slowly causing said orange-haired member of JNPR to sweat.
Knowing she was going to regret it, Glynda went into the room the orangette had just vacated to be the kitchen. She was pleasantly surprised to see nothing wrong other than a pair of used bowls and some spilled milk on the counter. Just as the stern blonde was about to move on though, she noticed a puddle forming by the non-perishables room with the door partly ajar.
"Other me?" Nora weakly replied
Yang leaned in "I don't think that's going to help."
Walking over to the door, she nudged it open with her riding crop. As soon as her gaze landed on the absolute disaster that lay inside, her eyebrow started twitching rapidly as a vein bulged on her forehead. "That's it! We are getting those cameras if it's the last thing I do. I am tired of dealing with this shit."
"Language!" Ruby replied instantly, shifting the glare of Beacons head Mistress to her. Ruby learned very quickly that it was in some ways more frightful that a grimm's death stare. Weiss had left the room to aquire some of her dust, merely in the pursuit of academic experimentation. It had nothing to do with the faunus child wrapping her in an immense hug of tails before going back to Nora.
"Headmaster, what did the book mean by a 'comatose maiden'?"
Firstly, I want to apologize to all My readers for the extremely long gap between updates. I'm getting things set up with twitter and to better stay in touch with my readers. Once i get those set up they will be on my bio. I was more than happy to do this story, especially once it was requested by
Curious Kitsune654.
Enjoy, and read, Review and favorite
