The middle of the tragedy

"A dragon was flying through the skies, when he discovered that he was once a man and returned to his human form leaving a bloody curse for his descendants"

Jaune knew he wouldn't die, as sadistic as Kiss-Shot was, she wouldn't let him die. Not when her revenge was to have him alive, returning to the darkness of the underworld as a vampire. The creature he hated to be.

Of course, he also knew that he would probably come back as a vampire after waking up every minute of his life, that's what Kiss-Shot wanted, being a vampire in a place where he would be watched at all times was a bad idea and a great way. To make him suffer. So he kept his eyes closed, so he wouldn't wake up and not have to accept this cruel reality.

Which didn't last forever, His head was already burning from sleep. Jaune was tired of keeping his eyes closed. Which was weird since vampires got tired.

"He's fine now, just sleeping, the exams didn't go wrong... despite the scare"

Jaune heard his father's voice from afar. Jaune could hear a strong emotion of suppressed anger and fear.

"Nothing wrong? Everything is wrong Sieg... A whole pack of Beowulf entered our house and almost killed our son! Where were the scouts"

Jeanne's voice was even more irritated and furious at the failing voice that made Jaune cringe in guilt for worrying her mother so much.

"Don't worry... I'll find out who was sleeping and let the beasts pass, and I'll burn them alive"

Sieg's voice sounded like a resentful growl making Jaune feel slightly cornered. His father was never anyone who showed fear or anger in his coexistence. He was always calm and had a peaceful aura around him. That was the first time Jaune saw his father like this.

"It's not good our son almost died" Jeanne growled "I almost died... Sieg, that Beowulf was not normal"

It was a statement not a question

"Yes... you have a lot of fighting experience and still got defeated..." Sieg hesitated "We have to keep an eye on the Grimm evolution here... we don't want anything like danger beasts around here"

A confusing statement that made Jaune squirm

"Beasts of Danger?" Jaune wondered

{ka, ka, ka a kind of Fae just like us! They are beings infected by the Kai, my dumb servant} Kiss-Shot had fun in Jaune's shadow {Only they weren't as lucky as we were to have kept the human form and are not very welcome in our midst}

"So my parents know about the Kai?" Jaune asked fearfully "Do they know about me?"

{Ka, ka, ka, maybe they know..., maybe, they don't know... Your father even smells like a dragon} Kiss-Shot laughed heartily {Your mother smells disgusting like an angel}

"Are you saying they're Fae?" Jaune asked annoyed "All this time, do I have Fae blood? Without being a vampire, I would be part of the underworld all the same"

{Ka, ka, ka, make no mistake my servant} Kiss-Shot joked {It's not because your parents are related to the Fae it's because the part of the underworld, my foolish servant}

"What does that mean?" Jaune gritted his teeth "Be clear"

{Ka, ka, ka, if you have a child with a human what will the child be?} Kiss-Shot joked

"A half-vampire, or more specifically a first-generation fauno, is not uncommon in the underworld" Jaune replied the obvious

{Ka, ka, ka, ka, are Faunus from mating with humans over 5 generations old?} Kiss-Shot asked with a chuckling tone

"Of course, they are if they are mated with underworld humans, like magus and exorcists," Jaune said already getting irritated "why are you asking me so many questions, answer me clearly"

{Ka, ka, ka, it wasn't your servant who didn't want to talk to me, now you will speak on my terms} Kiss-Shot sneered slyly {You already have your answer servant, you answered it yourself}

"As I replied..." Jaune asked confused and raised his eyes in surprise "Faunus above 5 generations born from non-downworlder relationships are not accepted in the underworld"

{Ka, ka, ka, exactly my foolish servant} Kiss-Shot joked {Your parents are just that... Descendants of Fae or Kai who are not welcome in the underworld}

"so they don't know anything" Jaune felt happy that his parents weren't part of this cruel world that was the underworld and on the other hand sad that he couldn't feel relaxed around them

"Fuck everything" Jaune put his hand on his forehead and lay down discouraged

---

"You didn't say you didn't train him, you all did" Jeane's growling noise reached Jaune's ear, and he forced himself onto the bed to pretend to be asleep.

"I already told you I didn't teach, I don't want my beautiful son put in danger" Rouge growled

"My son he is your brother" Jeane growled back "Stop spoiling my children Rouge!"

"Enough, at two, it was probably just instinct that made him attack Beowulf, don't forget that he is my son and must have inherited my father's dragon blood like me" Sieg replied embarrassed "fusion with a tengu has effects very serious in people and their genes"

{Ka, ka, this is getting more and more interesting} Kiss-Shot played in Jaune's shadow {Now I know why it was almost as strong as me}

He cursed not understanding what she meant and not being able to ask why she was faking sleep.

"Dear and Rouge please go check on the girls," Sieg asked "I'll stay here with him"

"Alright, let me know when he wakes up... I don't want to miss the chance to scold him" Jeane replied approaching Sieg and kissing him and Sieg returned the kiss hugging her, thus starting to make out between the two

"Calm down dear, you will have every opportunity, he is alive and well" Other kisses and even more desire to kill yourself came from Jaune

Jaune and rouge at the same time, grimaced. For Jaune's part, it was having to keep himself in control, avoiding the instinct to cringe at the scene so as not to hint that he was awake.

"Hey, my brother is sleeping there, respect" Rouge took the initiative to Jaune's relief "Let's go mom number 1"

Forced footsteps went away, and the door opened leaving Jaune already relieved. He thanked his mind that Rouge was so good to him at that moment

---

"How long are you going to keep pretending you're sleeping?" Sieg sat on the bed next to Jaune and stared at the ceiling indifferently. "Or will you stop pretending and accept the consequences of your actions?"

"I'd rather stay asleep" Jaune opened his eyes with irritation and a groan. At first, a strong light hit his eyes making everything blurry and making him close his eyes. But soon the light went out, and he found himself in an all-white room looking around he realized he was in a hospital and yawned "it's not my fault my parents don't have a specific place to be excited"

"Very funny" Sieg laughed lightly shaking his head and placing his hand on Jaune's chest preventing him from getting up"Don't move too much, you're still injured, it's only been 3 days since the incident... it takes longer to recover completely"

"Did mom get hurt?" He didn't know if Jeane was injured by the lycanthrope, unfortunately, he no longer had a full moon to control a werewolf's transformation, meaning they transform out of anger or fear, almost like a lycanthrope. Since Jaune had the vampire bloodline in him, the effect of the scratch he took wouldn't change him, but his mother was another story.

"She's fine, just a few broken bones from the impact, Beowulf didn't get to tear her flesh so it's nothing her aura can't heal" Sieg grimaced and looked at Jaune "You boy, you should be better worried about his injury"

"How did I recover so fast?" Jaune looked at his father pretending to be confused, "I mean, I'm not an immortal superhuman or something am I?"

{Ka, ka, a hint...well-thought-out my dumb servant}

Jaune did his best to ignore the insult disguised as a compliment.

"Jaune... You were listening weren't you?" Sieg approached his son and sighed"What your mother and I were talking about"

"About some Tengu?" Jaune asked

"Yes, the tengu is a weapon, specially made of beasts of danger... they are beasts of unknown origin like the Grimm's" Sieg raised his hand and a not very fancy sword appeared in his hand"This is Balmung... a Tengu made from the remains of another Tengu that was destroyed, made from the corpse of a dragon"

"that's not crocea mors" Jaune narrowed his eyes at the sword in his father's hand

"No, it's not... Crocea Mors was your mother's grandfather's Tengu... which origin I don't know, which is" Sieg licked his lip and took the Crocea Mors from his waist and showed it to Jaune"The question is Jaune... When someone has very low compatibility with a tengu, that person can't use it and when a person has very strong compatibility he ends up merging with the Tengu"

"So my grandfather merged with a Tengu" Jaune widened his eyes not believing what was happening, the world just got weirder for him.

{Ka, ka, how interesting, these humans are messing with things they shouldn't}

Jaune agreed despite not knowing exactly what Kiss-Shot meant.

"Yes, you inherited the blood of a beast of danger from my father, which makes you close to a Faunus like some of your sisters" Sieg sighed dejectedly "that's why you recovered so quickly"

{Ka, ka, you're the wrong brat, My vampire blood in him has already devoured that dragon's blood in my servant}

Jaune felt a strong urge to tell Kiss-Shot to shut up, but he knew he was the only one listening to her, so he didn't say anything.

"You know, my father has always been a hero to me" Sieg bit his lip "When I was born, he was still reverting to human form with the anti-dragonification that my family sought for a long time, so for me to know it was part inhumane." It's normal, but you have raised human, sorry son"

"Don't worry" Jaune replied frankly "it's good to know why sometimes I feel weird"

"No son this is called puberty, enjoy life... son" Sieg laughed patting Jaune's chest making him groan in pain"Now get ready to get scolded by your mother, dear, Jaune woke up"

"You traitor"

----

Time calmed down after Jaune received a double scolding from Rouge and his mother. He regretted and apologized a lot to his mother and ended up opening up to her more. What turned out to be an advantage for Jeanne

He was also discharged from the hospital for his exact speedy recovery and the discharge was demanded by Jaune's father when he saw that some doctors were giving Jaune not very healthy looks.

When he was already packing his things to leave with some difficulty, as the wounds still ached a little, Saphron entered the room and closed the door behind her carefully. She looked at Jaune with a grimace that made her brother flinch.

Even though he was sitting on the bed, he still looked at her a little wary of her grimace. Saphron never made a face, she was always the happiest

"Hi! Saphron?" He didn't know how to approach her

"Jaune, are you better? I brought some homework that your school teacher asked me to bring you." Saphron hid his frown and walked over to Jaune sitting next to him.

"Tch, homework? I don't get rid of it even when I'm hurt" Jaune made a drama, raising his voice with suffering

Saphron laughed at his brother's joke

"It's not like you do anything at school" Saphron chuckled patting Jaune on the shoulder "Since your grades are horrible"

Despite the two of them laughing, the atmosphere in the room was heavy.

"You know, you have to study more, you have to work hard, look at you when you're 16, and you don't even leave the house, you don't have friends or girlfriend" Saphron looked at the ceiling and there was concern in his eyes"You must be freer Jaune, venture further and be selfish, you have that right...you can't just sleep and pretend you don't care forever"

"Alright, stop the morals and tell me what's going on" Jaune went straight, after a long time, he finally went straight to his family

"Jaune, you almost died" Saphron stuttered

"But I didn't die" Jaune replied and opened his eyes can't believe you're mad because it was me instead"

"You bastard, you almost died" Saphron grabbed Jaune's collar violently "You made me choose between you and the kids, you damn bastard, how dare you make me choose that I'll save…how dare you to make me sacrifice you"

"look, I'm fine" Jaune gestured with his hands that there was nothing wrong, despite being in pain from being rocked by the collar and having a semi-open wound in his chest "Everything worked out in the end"

"Everything went well, you threw the children into my arms and ran to your death, did everything go well?" Saphron shook Jaune harder with a lot of anger, she could no longer contain neither her voice failed in screams or her tears"You were in a coma... Jaune, I thought I would lose you... I'm the oldest, and almost I lost you for being weak Jaune, Me and Kurome already lost our birth mother to Grimm... and now we almost lost you"

Saphron lost strength in her legs and fell to her knees in front of Jaune, she was covering her eyes and sobbing.

"It's okay, I'm here, I'm sorry" Jaune knelt and hugged her "I'm sorry"

Gradually the resentful and quiet Jaune disappeared and the old Jaune came back and the sparkle in his eyes came back making the emotionless shell disappear and so time passed

---

Jaune hit the ground and rolled to his feet and considered staying on the ground if getting up would be troublesome. The floor was a nice place and nothing was pushing him down if he was already down

The sound of footsteps towards him made him change his mind and roll to his side and stagger to his feet.

"Damn it, give me time, it's lunchtime" Jaune yelled, ducking down and doing a spinning forward kick.

"Lunch starts when training ends" Sieg dodged the kick and swung his wooden sword down.

"Damn, you don't know the concept of time?" Jaune got angry, taking his shield forward

"This concept doesn't exist on the battlefield" Sieg hit Jaune's shield knocking him to the ground"Your tricks won't last forever, you have no way to fight"

Tricks? Jaune has bled in many underworld battles, against other vampires, magus, exorcists, and all manner of Fae and Kai. Jaune's style was not an endurance fighting style it was a style of killing enemies quickly with fast and powerful blows ignoring defense as vampire regeneration was a cheat

But now, he didn't have the regeneration or the strength and speed of a full vampire- Jaune was helpless and relying on the few defensive skills he'd learned from fighting other vampires.

"Come on Jaune you can do it" Emmy yelled

"Yes you can" Lily shouted raising her arms to celebrate Jaune's fight

"Old man, don't you dare hurt my beautiful little brother" Rouge pointed at Sieg making threats

"Go Jaune..." Kurome twisted eating a candy

Saphron looked at everything from a distance with a strange expression.

Jaune rolled once more and launched a large number of attacks at his father, each attack was completely wrapped in speed and enough force to end the fight.

But, Sieg dodged all the attacks and hit Jaune in the head with a kick knocking the boy down who squirmed to the ground.

"Abandoning the defense and going straight to the attack is as good as attempting suicide" Sieg growled at his son "If I were a Grimm, you'd be dead"

"Good thing you're not a Grimm" Jaune scoffed

"That's not what I was talking about"

"Jaune Arc" A scream caught everyone's attention and both Jaune and Sieg looked towards the entrance to see Jeanne Arc coming towards them with a furious face.

"What did you do?" Sieg looked at his son looking for an answer to his wife's anger

"I don't know" Jaune answered honestly

The closer Jeane got to them, the more you could see the displeasure on her face, and when she got in front of them, the Sisters except for Rouge all ran into the house.

"What is that?" Jeanne pulled out a letter and showed it to Jaune

"A letter?" Jaune asked

"It's not a letter of repudiation made by Mr. Villa, demanding explanations as to why he found you sleeping with his two daughters" Jeanne growled opening the letter and showing it to Jaune and Sieg looked at Jaune in surprise.

"Well, that letter doesn't have the slightest bit of truth, because the last thing Alysa Villa and Alyna Villa were doing was sleeping" Jaune raised his hands gesturing his innocence

"Jaune... you... They're 30 and 35 Jaune" Jeanne ruffled her hair scolding Jaune trying not to throw a tantrum because her son slept with women Jeanne's age

"But the father said to me, enjoy life and the opportunities of puberty" Jaune looked at his father and gave a jewel sign "I took the opportunity as you said father... did I make you proud?"

"You brat" Sieg gritted his teeth at the boy and turned pale when Jeanne looked at him coldly "Wait, I can explain"

----

3 days later

"Mom, why are we going to Vale?" Jaune asked as he got into the car with all the sisters, the father, and the mother

"Well, your father and I were invited to a hunter's event, and we're not going to leave you alone to impregnate some middle-aged woman" Jeanne gritted her teeth at Jaune as she grinned an evil grin and cast a glance at Sieg too. From now on, boy, you'll be in my eyes, you too, baby, it's good to behave"

"But Mom, I used protection"

"that doesn't matter"
