The Dance Of Love (RWBY/FATE)

it didn't take long for Hans and Greta to pack up their bags, and true to their words.. its not a lot of stuff.

I let out a small sigh that i quickly stop because i don't want these two... children... these two children to see the.. pity... no, not pity.

I don't want them to see the anger i have at their situation.

I know... oum dammit i know that a lot of children are in their situation.... be it because they were born into poverty or because their home attacked by grimms and leaving them stranded in this cruel.. cruel world.

I know i am lucky to be born in a family as rich as the Arc family, we may not have millions upon millions of liens, but we do have a lot of lands and inheritance from our ancestor.

Not that we used those much anyway, dad's income as a top rank hunter is more than enough for us to never think about financial needs.... its not cheap paying the tuition for atlas or any combat schools.

Speaking of tuition.. thankfully hunter's academy give scholarships to children in need IF they have the qualification to be a hunter or huntress.

Most hunter academy also do that, from Beacon,Shade,Haven and Atlas..

Artoria actually got a scholarship for Atlas Academy but she refused and give the scholarship to one of the student that need it more than her.

I.... i am proud of her.. i actually am.....

Why would i not be proud of her for doing that? She had given the privilege of having a scholarship to another person!

As soon as i heard that she had done that from mom... well lets just say that i cooked my best that night, i gave her a feast! A bigger feast than her previous birthday!

Mordred was a little bit Jealous that i had made a feast specifically for Artoria but she-

.... i'm getting lost in my thought again.. this is not good.. i need to be more present.. Vacuo is not like home.. it is more dangerous...

Not even an hour after i step foot on Vacuo i had to... incapacitate 2 would be Rapist.... i still can't get it out of my head about why.. why i am so indiferrent to the fact that i had basically killed them.

No, what i did is much much worse than simply killing them.

Killing them is a mercy compared to what i had done, i had turned them into vegetables! And i have no remorse! Absolutely no guilt about what i had done!

Its like.. i had done thise before... but with a sword in my hand.

This feeling.. its.. its not nostalgia, no... its.. dejavu... i've been in this kind of situation before.

'The man who given the sentence must swing the sword'

who? Whose voice is that?

I quickly look around and see Hans and Greta walking to me and judging by their face which is full of smile (thank oum for that because i rather have them smiling than what their expression was when i first met them) they hadn't hear that voice.

Could it be just my imagination? Am i going crazy? That voice sounded familiar... like i know who had said it.. maybe its from a movie that Mordred and i had watched in the past, but i would surely remember which movie it had come from..

Well no time to think about it, its time for the three of us to go before.. before anything bad could happen.. for all i know, those two would be rapist's body had been found by the police here (i'm not exactly sure if there are any police here but considering that it looks like it is a drop off point for merchant's ship or ships in general, it surely have some kind of law enforcement around.) And they start to investigate and lead it back to us.

Or worse.. one of the members of the Red Cactus gang found found them and track us down.

We need to move out Asap.

"You two ready?" I asked the two of them in which Hans nodded.

"Ready as i can ever be John!" Hans smilled brightly at me.

"Good.. and... can you two lead the way? I'm not familiar with the streets here.. and please pick a path that is more.. discreet.. the less people that sees us, the better.." i tell them and looking at their expression it seems that they are a little confused about why i am asking them this, i guess the emotional whiplash from the previous events had made them a little bit.. slow..

Not that i can blame them, if i were in their shoes i would probably be crying for Mordred...

Oum dammit.. i'm thinking about Mordred again... i need to screw my head back straight on! I can think about Mordred after i leave this place.

I then start to explain to them. "Its because of the two.... bodies that i left behind.... people could had found it and tracked us down... if they do found it, hopefully it is the police and not one of their friends."

Both of their eyes widen as they understand. "Oh... yeah... about that.." Hans scratch the back of his head and look away.

Greta in which i regarded as the more.. calm and smart one out of the two decided to continue what Hans was worried about. "Well the Police here is.. how could i say it but.. they and and the Red Cactus gang are.. buddies.."

Damn.... i didn't think of that.. just how much connection does this damned gang have! Its a gang! And we are in the outskirt of it's territory! Just how much power does it have!

"We gotta go quick then before things starts to get... bad..." i take a deep breath, calm down Jaune.. Calm Down.... what would Mordred do in this situation? Well.. she would... she would had quickly get me out of the place.. she would WANT to fight the gang but she would PRIORITIZE my safety first.

Me being stronger and a much better fighter than her doesn't matter to her because in her eyes i am her younger Brother and its her duty to keep me safe.

And i guess i am in her shoes now too i guess.. even with how brief our time had been, i came to care about Hans and Greta.. they're like.. little Siblings that i had never met before.

Mordred would have a field day training these two.. probably like she used to train me before i unlocked my Aura..

I motion to the "doorway" with my head and they lead the way out.

The sun is on the horizon now and i can see a few people walking around the slums, i had to fix my cloak so it covers my head and most of my body.

It would be bad if i get any attention for looking like a foreigner, not that i am not a foreigner nor does blond hair is rare in general... but considering that most of the people that i sees here have dark coloured hair yeah... i need to cover as much of myself as possible.

And my skin also look like it had an disliking to being tan because no matter how many time in the past where i helped around the time be it in summer or any other sunny day, its still the same colour as usual... probably because of my Aura... now that i think about it, neither Mordred or Artoria also ever had a tan... Saphron got a tan pretty easily whenever its summer or when we were going to the beach.. Mom and Dad didn't got a Tan...

Well look at what i had just discovered, another function about Aura that i didn't know before... not that Mordred knows about it anyway, i asked her once and she just shrugged her shoulders...

I'm really curious about what do they exactly teach in combat school, well the general subjects like math and science i know about it because i helped Mordred study it, but the more huntery subject? No.

Not because Mordred doesn't tell me it (Mordred and i have no secret amongst each other.. but its just that.. from the things that Mordred talked about it, combat school only teach would be hunter and huntress about dust, how to fight, and how to repair or mantain their weapons.... and create their weapons too.

Mordred never talks about any class about Aura...

To be honest, i am kinda disappointed considering that Aura is the most important thing for a hunter, and they just ignore it! Why don't they study about it! Aura have so much Untapped potential!

That was the thought on my head as i let Hans and Greta lead me into a couple of alleyways, a few sketchy place and we even had to get into an abandoned shack? House? Ruins? Well whatever it is we had to get inside it and slip into a small hole in the wall.

Thankfully i am only 12 years old and not i don't think puberty had hit me yet, so i managed to get through the hole after i let my bag pass through it first.

All in all our hour long journey through alleyway and a bunch of sketchy place had ended cause we just reach the northern outskirt of khaleed.

"So... the floors is yours, John.. well the sands is yours.. lead us, you're the pro here." Hans tell me as her roll his shoulders and stretch his arms.

Oh yeah.. i almost forgot that i told them that i am a traveler, why didn't i picked a better disguise? Why a traveler? Past Jaune is stupid Jaune... i hate Past Jaune for giving me this trouble.

I held back the urge to let out a sigh, and starts to walk a head of the group.

"Well follow me then, i'll point the way." I give them a smile.

I really hope that there are no.. problem along our journey to Shade academy....

I just jinxed it didn't i? Mordred would slap the back of my head if she were here...

Sigh... why can't i stop thinking for a second.
