Ruby looked at her sisters worried face, then back to Blake.

If that was Weiss laying there she thought, her eyes traveling to the pale girl next to her I would be in Yang's position.

"Uh, hey guys" Jet said as he entered the room "how is she?"

"She's stable" answered Weiss.

"Did you get them?" Yang asked, not taking her eyes off Blake.

"No, they got away" Jet answered, standing beside Yang.

"I'll kill them" Yang growled "Adam and that short girl, I'll kill them both."

"I think" Jet said, his face growing dark "that may be harder then you expect."

They sat there for hours until Blake's eyes finally opened.

"Blake!" Yang cried, hugging the brunette tightly. "Hey Yang" Blake mumbled, a smile on her face.

"Are they even aware that we're still here?" Jet whispered to Ruby.

"Give em' a minute" she replied. "I guess cats really do have nine lives" Yang giggled, resting her forehead against Blake's.

"Yang, sto- mph!" Blake was interrupted when Yang pulled her into a lip lock. Jet grabbed Ruby and Weiss, dragging them out of the room.

"What are you doing!?" Ruby complained once they were in the hallway.

"I'm sure they would appreciate the privacy" said Jet.

"Just stay out here with us you dolt" ordered Weiss.

"Okay" Ruby said, hanging her head.

"I can leave you two alone, if you like" offered Jet.

"Wh-what!? why!?" Weiss said, her face growing red.

Jet chuckled, earning a punch from Weiss. Ruby noticed that Jet was in a really good mood, he wasn't even this happy during fights.

"What put you in such a good mood?" Ruby questioned. Jet smiled and looked at the floor.

"On my way here" he said, his face a little pink "I ran into someone I haven't seen in a while."

"Who was it?" Ruby asked.

"A friend from my childhood" he said.

Blake was so surprised that Yang had just kissed her. She looked over at the blonde in shock.

"Wh-w-w-what just happened!?" Said the blushing faunus.

"I kissed you" Yang giggled "want me to do it again?"

"Uh....." Blake said. Yang smiled, then kissed her forehead.

"I'll be back tomorrow" she said, walking out of the room "get some rest."

Yang was met in the hall by Jet, Ruby, and Weiss.

"So how are we getting back to Beacon?" She sighed "it's to dark to walk, and all the shuttles are gone."

"We'll go by car" Jet answered "I happen to own one."

He took off running down the hall. "Meet me out front!" He called.

Jet pulled up in a sleek looking orange vehicle with purple flames. Weiss and Ruby hopped in the backseat while Yang went around to the passanger seat.

"Ooo, this is nice" Yang commented. The vehicle was dark on the interior, and the seats were cozy. Though the car seemed small, the cabin was quite spacious.

"Tunes!" Yang exclaimed.

"No, don't" Jet started.

She pressed the power button, and the music came on loud and abrupt;

"GIMME FUEL, GIMME FIRE, GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE!"

Everyone in the car was starled. Jet quickly turned it down to a low volume.

"Well now that everyone's awake" Jet joked.

Everyone was giggling, as most people do after sudden jolts. Jet started up the engine and put it in drive. The car flew down the road at breakneck speed.

"Where did you get this?" Yang asked.

"It was a friend's" replied Jet.

"You're a bit of a lead foot" commented Weiss.

"I have years of off-road driving experience" assured Jet.

He merged onto the highway, then accelerated more.

"What are you writing?" Weiss said from the backseat. Yang looked back to see Ruby trying to hide a piece of paper from Weiss.
"Stop" Ruby giggled "it isn't finished yet."

"Alright" Weiss sighed "I'll wait."

Yang noticed Jet's sketchbook on the floor. She quickly snatched it up and flipped it open, Jet didn't notice. The first page was writing;

"book three
began October 7"

That's the day that Jet came to Beacon she thought, turning the page.

She was met by a detailed sketch of Ruby smiling and looking back at her, her name written neatly at the top. She flipped the page and there was a sketch of Weiss. She continued flipping through the familiar faces: Blake, herself, Jaune, Pyrrah, Ren, Nora, and Zwei. She turned the page again and found Jet's father, professor Ozpin. Next was a girl who Yang didn't know. The word "Amethyst" was written at the top. Yang turned the page again and rage welled up inside her. The girl with the pink and brown hair smiled sweetly back at her. The word "Neopolitan" written at the top. Yang glanced over at Jet and closed the book. Once she was back at Beacon Jet was going to tell her how he was connected with the White Fang.

Once they were back at Beacon they said goodbye to Jet. Halfway back to there dorm, Yang made up an excuse.

"Oh! I just remembered that I have something I need to ask Jet" she said running back "don't wait up!"

She ran across campus, towards Jet's room. She spotted him and ran to cut him off.

"Alright Fitzgerald!" She yelled "tell me what your connection to the White Fang is!"

Jet looked at her with surprise. "I don't have any affiliation with them" he said calmly. "Bullshit!" She yelled "why do you know that girl, Neopolitan I think her name was."

"That doesn't concern you" he said, his eyes narrowing.

"Fine! If you won't tell me I'll beat it out of you!" She said, charging at him "when I'm done with you I'll kick her ass too!"

She threw an incredibly strong punch with her right hand. Jet caught it with his left, stopping her dead. "If you even think about hurting her" he growled "I will END you!"

He punted her across the campus. Yang got back to her feet, then leapt at Jet. They collided in air, punching and kicking furiously.

His style has changed Yang thought, hitting him in the gut normally he's very calm and passive, but this time he's on the offense.

Jet threw yang across the campus before running after her. He was cut of by a stream of fire.

"I'm glad I followed Yang" Weiss said, stepping out of the fire. Yang leapt over the inferno, and the two now stood side-by-side.

"What are you doing here?" Yang asked.

"I figured you would do something stupid, so I followed you" Weiss replied. Jet began to walk away.

"Where do you think you're going?" Weiss challenged "if you have information pertaining to the White Fang then you're going to tell is right now."

"I have nothing to say" said Jet.

"You'll tell us one way or another" Yang threatened "cause you're in for a freezerburn."
