3 years ago,
Weiss had a bitter look on her face, unwilling to believe that, she denied the possibility of him dying.
"L-listen…t-this will be my last…words.." Jaune struggles to form a sentence, one could tell from his pained face alone.
"Dolt- Jaune no! Please, don't say something like that!" Weiss begged him, not to say something like that.
"W-weiss…I...I'm sorry b-but…this is it…." Tears started to leak out of Jaune's eyes, he didn't want to die, he was too young however he knows that it's impossible for him to survive with grave wounds like this.
Might as well, pour his heart with his final words. "Y-you know…w-when I first m-meet you…I thought I saw a-an angel, I-it was love at first sight…I-i have never seen a girl a-as beautiful as you a-are…b-but as I g-get to know you I…I fell even more, b-because I-i know beneath that cold facade was a l-lonely girl…s-so I decided to try and help t-that lonely girl that I-i saw…by courting h-haha, not the best idea b-but h-hey…it works..!"
Weiss had a look of shock when he revealed the reason for his courting, h-he knew?
Not even her sister knew her loneliness, not even her team, but he did…how?
"Despite y-your harsh rejection, it was worth it…because I somehow m-manage to bring out t-the real y-you, though i-it hurts being flat out rejected…" Jaune smiled at the memories.
While Weiss continued to listen.
"One day…m-my e-efforts c-came to a fruition…t-the lonely g-girl was n-no more, she was m-more genuine, she smiles, she laughs, s-she was so beautiful…" He spoke fondly at her.
Weiss never felt so crushed in her life, each one of his words took a massive blow inside her.
Even in death, he was complimenting her.
"B-but despite the effort I've put in, h-her heart belongs t-to the other…I-it hurts but I'm fine with that…f-for her happiness I'm w-willing to let go…" Jaune was trying hard to breathe.
Hearing that her heart stilled, Neptune…
"T-that's why I-i was so m-mad when h-he rejected m-my snow angel invitation…Hahh*..."
She remembered the beacon dance, where she got rejected by Neptune when she invited him to dance with her.
Not to mention she was rejected for a stupid reason, because Neptune couldn't dance, meaning he just rejected her because of his stupid pride.
Weiss' eyes started to water, even more, tear drops falling from her eyes.
"But..I-i managed to c-convince him..I-i'm so glad I did…b-because I-it made her h-happy…" Then finally he stared into Weiss' eyes and said. "Snow Angel, I love you."
His eyes slowly turned dull, and his breathing stopped.
Weiss' heart skips a beat, but this time in pure despair. "Jaune…?"
"Jaune? Jaune! Jaune!!!" Each time she called his name her voice was getting louder and louder.
But despite that, there was no response from the blonde knight, realizing that he wasn't here anymore, that he was dead.
Weiss was left frozen on the spot, she couldn't move, she just stayed there staring at the blonde knight's corpse.
To her time was frozen, the concept of time in her mind was completely different from the outside world.
Everything was in slow motion, but that changed when she heard several footsteps approaching her.
She slowly turned around with her dull blue eyes and she saw the rest of her team and JNPR.
"Weiss! Thank the gods you're alright!" Her team leader Ruby sighs in relief seeing that she was fine.
But that changed when they saw Jaune Arc, laying on her lap cold.
It wasn't hard for them to realize that the blonde knight is dead.
But that is exactly what made them freeze from their spot, except for Pyrrha who immediately rushed toward the blonde knight and started calling his name.
"Jaune! Jaune! Please Jaune wake up! D-don't scare us like this p-please wake-up…!" Pyrrha begged his partner to wake up and tell them that this was nothing but a prank.
But he didn't, he remained cold and unresponsive in Weiss's lap, dead.
He was dead.
Pyrrha was emotionally unstable at the moment, stared at Weiss with bloodshot eyes, then spat at her venomously. "You, it's your fault isn't it?!"
Then she pushed Weiss away from the blonde knight's corpse. "Get away from him! You're worthy of touching him! Because of you! He's dead!"
Despite her harsh words, she couldn't deny it, because she knew from the bottom of her heart, it was true.
Weiss was just staring at Pyrrha's crying form, while she was hugging the blonde knight.
'She loves him, that's why she despaired for his death.' Weiss thought.
But isn't she too the same? Although she only realized that she had feelings for the blonde knight.
It hurts, however she couldn't imagine how painful this is to Pyrrha, she loved him for the longest time, unlike her who only realized it.
The cold corpse of their leader, sorrow, sadness, guilt, and despair was seen in their eyes.
Lie Ren closed his eyes as tears started to pour from his eyes, he failed again, he failed to protect his friend and brother from a different mother.
Nora wasn't in a cheerful mood, she started poking at her team leader's right cheek with crocodile tears falling down from her eyes. "Jaune-jaune, hey wake up! I-if you don't I'm eating your portion of pancake! S-so wake so I won't!"
It was heartbreaking to see, the once happy team is now filled with despair because of the death of their fearless leader.
Weiss' team decided to take her away from the place because her team thought it would be the best, for now, it might be just Pyrrha who blamed her for their leader's death, but who could say the rest of the team wouldn't blame her?
Just in case they have to separate her and the team NPR for a while.
After that incident, there was a fracture between the teams, they were no longer friends, and there was an irreparable bond that had been broken due to the death of Jaune.
The surviving team couldn't forgive Weiss, believing that it was her fault that Jaune died.
While they could tolerate the others from RWBY, they couldn't do the same with Weiss.
But because RWBY valued their resident ice queen, it was better for them to cut ties with each other.
And that was the beginning of a new order, it was when Jaune's corpse has risen from the dead and things were never the same again.

-Location City Of Vale Secret Camp-
"I-it was supposed to be me…the one who was supposed to die…b-but I didn't…because you sacrificed your life for me…." Weiss expression was filled with shame, guilt, and grief.
"Weiss…" Jaune doesn't know what his counterpart's relationship with Weiss is, but to see her act like this after his death is painful to look at.
The proud, elegant, and beautiful woman that he liked and admired was degraded to this pitiful woman who was bearing an unbelievable amount of guilt and grief on her shoulders.
He couldn't let this continue, he can't stand looking at her like this, so pitiful.
Jaune didn't hesitate to pull her and give her a tight embrace. "It's okay Weiss, let it out…I don't know the full story but if he's anything like me, then he wouldn't like to see you cry like this, be guilty of the fact that he sacrificed his life for you."
Weiss didn't push nor resist his embrace, she felt like it was right, not to mention it felt warm and cozy.
Then she buried her face in his chest and continued to cry.
"There…there…it's fine now.." After a full minute of crying, Weiss finally calmed down.
However, as she stared at Jaune with an odd expression, then she muttered. "Jaune..?"
"Yes?"
All of a sudden without a warning, she pulled his head closer to her face, and she started kissing him passionately.
"..?!"
Not expecting her to kiss him in such a manner, he was torn on what to do, but one thing was for sure, he did enjoy this, after all the one who is kissing him is Weiss!
His crush, the girl he desired so much since the beginning of the school year.
After a full minute of making out, Weiss snapped out of it and realized what she just did.
Her face paled in shock, disbelief, guilt, and embarrassment.
"I…." Weiss couldn't look at his face and she immediately ran away from him.
Jaune was standing in his spot dazed.
"What the hell just happened?" He said in disbelief because he couldn't believe that happened, if it wasn't for the fact that he felt a bit of pain while kissing he would have thought he was dreaming.
Jaune touches his lips and says with a light blush. "Her lips taste like mints."
Not to mention, he got to know that Weiss likes to bite while kissing, while it's painful, it was hot, honestly, he kinda likes it.
Staring at the shattered moon, he wondered if they could do it again.

Meanwhile, Weiss was running across the camp with a red tint on her cheeks. "No..no..no..I can't believe I did that! H-he looks like Jaune! Arghhh!"
She won't be able to forget about it anytime soon.

So what do you think guys? Pretty sure this flashback is decent compared to the last.
Either way, after a few more chapters they'll go to Mistral next where they will meet the you know who team.
