Weiss allowed her hand to drop, the mirror landing in her lap undamaged. What the hell was going on here? First Ruby and the others don't even bother to show up, someone took Myrtenaster along with her other belongings, those earrings were made out of the purest dust! And now she looked like she could be Whitley's little sister. At least she stopped growing around this age, if only gaining an inch or two right before being accepted into Beacon. Weiss was definitely going to need a new pair of heels once she got out of here, right after she tore into Ruby for not being here as soon as she woke up.
The door opened, revealing Detective Tsukauchi from earlier and a woman dressed in an outfit that would make even Yang blush, with weird purple horns. Weiss narrowed her eyes, steeling her features. Never reveal anything that could be used against you in the future, that was one of the first lessons Father taught her, and as much as she hated to admit it, Father's lessons would serve her well as she dealt with this man and possible huntress.
"Good afternoon." He took a seat that was next to Weiss' hospital. "As I said earlier, my name is Detective Tskauchi from the National Police Agency and this is Mt. Lady. She is the hero that found you and brought you to the hospital." The Detective pulled the same notebook from his pocket. The Huntress gave Weiss a warm smile, before suddenly grabbing her with a death grip, throwing her arms around Weiss' smaller shoulders before the white haired girl could even say a word.
"I'm so happy that you're ok! I almost lost you a few times in the ambulance on the way here!" Weiss struggled to keep her blush down as her face was pressed into the strange woman's bosom. C-Can't breathe-
Using her aura to strengthen her muscles, Weiss was about to force the wanton Huntress off of her when Detective Tsukauchi spoke.
"You're going to reopen her wound if you don't let go."
"Oops, sorry!" Mt. Lady blushed as she wiped a few tears off of her face. Weiss felt a damp spot on her shoulder, causing her to seethe inside. Who was this woman to touch her without permission? If only she had Myrtenaster she could run that woman through-
"My apologies." Detective Tsukauchi interrupted Weiss' plans for murder as he took the seat that sat next fo Weiss' hospital bed. He glared at the promiscuous woman. "Mt. Lady requested that she be allowed in the meeting since she was the hero on the scene that found you."
"I see." Weiss eyed the huntress. "Thank you for helping me in my time of need." Being polite could help Weiss score some points, points she could use to regain her belongings.
"You're welcome." If Mt. Lady was a bird, Weiss was sure that she would be showing off her feathers. "I just did what any hero would do." Now the lady was pushing it. Did she save Weiss' life? According to everyone here she did, but what about the doctors and nurses who also did their part? Calling herself a hero was pushing the limit.
"Now, I would like to ask you a few questions. Could you answer them to the best of your abilities?" Detective Tsukauchi asked. Mt. Lady took a seat on the other side of Weiss' bed.
"Of course." Weiss replied. She just had to be careful of what she revealed or concealed. This could be a long scam, with the Doctor, Nurse, and this 'Detective' being scammers that were trying to siphon information out of Weiss.
"Thank you." Detective Tsukauchi said. His eyes met Weiss' blue ones. "What's your name?"
"Ruby Rose." Weiss answered immediately.
Detective Tsukauchi scratched something out of his notes and he rubbed his forehead slowly.
"Hey kid, I hope you know that my quirk let's me know when someone is lying." He leaned back in his chair. "I want to help you, but I'm going to need your full cooperation. Now please, what's your name?"
Weiss' eyes turned into pinpoints. Why did he call his semblance a quirk? Perhaps her brain made an error when translating? Yeah right, Weiss never made mistakes that were well within in area of control.
"Weiss Schnee." Weiss almost growled through closed teeth. Detective Tsukauchi nodded and went back to writing in his notebook.
"You have a pretty name." Mt. Lady interrupted. Weiss only smirked in response. Of course her name was pretty, a beautiful name for a beautiful huntress-in-training.
"Thank you." Weiss said, this time her politeness was genuine. It was a bit strange that they haven't recognized her yet. How far away from civilization were they? Why was this lady wearing such an ugly and form fitting costume? No, Weiss was not jealous. She was a Schnee, and she loved herself.
"Your Japanese is pretty good. Nurse Hayashi informed me that you also spoke German, are you from around here?" The Detective asked.
There were those two words again, Japanese and German. Was that what they called Mistralian and Atlassian around here? Was she in a village that was so cut off from the rest of the Four Kingdoms that they had a different name for languages? That could explain why they called Weiss' Atlassian, German earlier.
"Thank you, and that would depend on what or where 'here' exactly is." Weiss responded. She wasn't going to give this man her whole life story and how her tutors hammered all those languages into her head.
Detective Tsukauchi raised an eyebrow, an act that Weiss mirrored with one of her own. He turned his attention to his notebook and wrote something down silently. It took all of Weiss' self restraint to stop herself from grinding her teeth.
"You're in the Republic of Japan, more specifically Musutafu, Shizuoka Prefecture." Those names sounded foriegn to Weiss' ears. She had never heard of such a place, which definitely meant that she was deep in Mistral's countryside.
"And where in the Four Kingdoms is that?"
Detective Tsukauchi was in the middle of writing something down when he paused, his inexpressive eyes now wide. He turned to Mt. Lady' whose eyes were also as wide as his were.
"Let's see if we can find a map."
Detective Tsukauchi had seen many things in life that could be called 'weird.' Stepping outside of the room briefly with Mt. Lady, he asked a nearby nurse if she could bring him a map, or even a world globe if possible.
"What do you think?" Mt. Lady asked quietly. He gave her a side glance. Talking to Weiss directly managed to disprove some of his original theories.
"I believe that her mind is too alert, especially since she was stuck in a coma for two days." Tsukauchi gave his notes a brief look. "The X-Ray indicates that she's also quirkless judging by her joints, and after looking at her belongings again, I don't believe she may be an illegal immigrant." Her bloody dress looked expensive, as well as the jewels that she was found with.
"The possibility that she's a victim of a trafficking ring has just risen." Or perhaps she comes from a rich family, and she was kidnapped in order to extort money from her family. Except no search warrants were out for a white haired girl, which immediately killed that theory.
The Surgeon's medical report said that parts of her wound were already cauterized, mostly around the edges. Was she one of Endeavor's? Most likely a no since Weiss didn't seem to have a single bit of Japanese in her.
"I see." Mt. Lady placed a finger on her chin. The Nurse soon returned with a foldable map of the world. Tsukauchi took it after quickly saying thanks.
Walking back into the room, Tsukauchi walked up to Weiss' bed and carefully unfolded the map, placing it on her lap. She gave him a weird look, but quietly turned her attention to the map.
"Tell me, do you recognize any of these countries?"
Weiss' eyes darted all over the map, her features darkening. Tsukauchi wrote down a few notes as Mt. Lady easily looked over his shoulder.
"Stop pulling my leg and bring out a real map." Weiss grumbled angrily. Wait what? "If this is a prank, I hope you know it's not a funny one. Did Yang put you up to this?"
Tsukauchi felt his eyes widen as Mt. Lady's jaw practically fell to the floor in shock.
That was not the reaction he was expecting.
A/N
I started watching RWBY volume 7 on VRV, as well as catching up on MHA. Has the story been enjoyable so far?
I enjoy writing it, and I can't wait to have Weiss react to the new world around her. I usually play the Weiss songs from the albums as I write.
This life is mine is easily one of the best songs in the entire show.
Thank you to all of my reader! I appreciate all of the favorites, follows and comments!
