Ruby was the first to wake up, spooning one of her girlfriends she had yet to identify. She smelt her unknown love's hair, noting its scent of papers and sweat. She smiled and nuzzled closer to Blake, accidentally brushing against the bandages wrapped around her chest. Being on the outside of their huge hugfest, allowed Ruby to enjoy one person's body heat, rather than three others.

Though to be frank, Yang contributed most of the body heat, and Weiss just counterbalance that with how cold she was, so I guess Blake was the normal body heat that Ruby could enjoy and-

"Ruby. You're thinking out loud," Blake whispered to her.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were awake," Ruby leaned closer against Blake's back and closed her eyes.

Blake turned over and held Ruby tight, "It's alright. How did you sleep, Ruby?"

Her answer came in the form of snoring. Blake rolled her eyes and kissed her on the forehead. She slipped through Ruby's hug and got out of bed, stretching her arms, "Ruby. Do you want to take a shower with me?"

"What? Oh, sure," Ruby released herself from Weiss' arm and joined the cat faunus, unsure where the dark-haired girl was taking her.

She yawned and looked around her surroundings, "Blake? Why are you, TAKING OFF YOUR-

"Shush. You'll wake up in the next ten miles. And you're just as naked as me, so what are you getting worked up about?" Blake asked.

Ruby found herself staring at the lightly-tanned orbs of flesh in front of her, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"

Blake rolled her eyes and pulled her undergarments down, "Don't keep me waiting too long."

Ruby rapidly sprung out of the sparse pajamas she wore and joined Blake in the shower, hesitating to come closer. She studied Blake's curves closely and came to the conclusion that, while Blake's breasts were always larger than her's and Weiss', (but not nearly as large as her sister's) she excelled in the downstairs department.

Blake sat on the stool she brought in the shower, "Ruby, can you wash my hair?" she passed Ruby a bottle of gel to the shorter girl.

Ruby blushed looking down at Blake, wondering which side to focus on? If she focused on the sides of Blake while she washed her hair, she could make out the sides of her breasts, and knowing Ruby that would be a detriment to the process of washing Blake's hair, but if she focused on Blake's back, she would inevitably find her eyes trailing down to Blake's back and her rather shapely bottom. But if Ruby was just over Blake's head, she could easily catch a glimpse of the Blake's-

"Ruby, you're thinking out loud again," Blake cut off Ruby's thoughts, resulting in the young leader squirting out a glob of shampoo in the air, where it gained some serious air time, and fell onto Blake's scalp.

"Ruby, you're not drizzling the shampoo on my, right?" Blake questioned her.

"NOPE! Just washing your hair, Blake! Gotta get right behind the ears," Ruby muttered to herself.

Blake smiled and relaxed, feeling the smaller girl's miniscule fingers rub her head, "Ruby. You aren't all that nervous today. Have you gotten used to taking showering with naked women?"

"Uhhh, not really. I'm still really nervous," Ruby answered.

"Then perhaps I should take you to this event the Faunus in my town used to have. All of us when we turned your age walked ten miles away from the village, stripped off our clothes and ran through the wilderness, buck nude for a few miles, slaying any Grimm we came across."

"Uh, Blake? Why would you guys do that?" Ruby stopped scrubbing and scratched her head, "Why would you do it?"

"I, hadn't seen a naked boy before and I thought it would be, interesting. And well-

"Blake you're such a pervert," Ruby laughed at her girlfriend.

"I AM NOT A PERVERT!" Blake defended herself.

Jean and Ren were reading Ninjas of Love XIII Samurai Sword Stab, and upon hearing Blake's words from the bathroom they laughed, "We doubt that, Blake!" Jean shouted, "Continue, Ren."

"Right. The samurai bent me over and pulled his sword from his scabbard, but little did I know, I wasn't going to get stabbed and bleed red. No, I was going to get stabbed and bleed white."

"I have the most awkward boner right now," Jean quoted a man who liked continuing.

Ruby had been forced to sit on the stool by Blake, tickling her down to size, "Now just sit still and don't call me a pervert, Ruby."

"You get a better view of my chest than I did with yours, so you better keep your eyes glued to my hair, missy!"

"Ruby. We're showering together. I think it's fine if you glimpse at my breasts,"

"REALLY!" Ruby turned her head around, but was turned back by Blake, "You had your chance, Ruby. Now let me wash your hair."

Blake quietly laughed to herself as she washed the smaller girl's hair, "After this we should do a bit of training. Don't you think?"

"Sure," Ruby agreed, feeling relaxed from Blake's fingers.

Blake's clone took the shot from Crescent Rose's round, and another clone gave Blake a burst of speed, drawing her in closer towards Ruby.

Ruby saw her teammate's approach, and brought Crescent Rose's blade behind Blake. Blake saw the scythe trap her, and blocked the blade with Gambol Shroud's sheath, aiming the pistol form of her sword at Ruby.

"Good trick, Rose," Blake conceded defeat, "Not good enough though."

Gambol Shroud's sheath sliced the curved blades off of Crescent Rose before close pushed her a few yards away from Ruby.

Upon realizing what she had just done Blake dropped her weapon and covered her mouth, "Ruby. I didn't, I wasn't-

"Pick up your sword," Ruby whispered through a raspy voice.

"Why do you need-

Ruby swung the blade of Crescent Rose onto Blake, who had blocked it with only mere nanoseconds to spare, "BLAKE BELLADONNA! DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE WON JUST BECAUSE YOU BROKE MY PRECIOUS CRESCENT ROSE!"

Blake smiled and broke the struggle between blades with her sheath, "Wouldn't think about it, leader."

Glynda Goodwitch watched their battle intently, taking mental notes on Ruby's hidden sword inside her weapon, "Should be prepared for that in case I break her weapon."

"Something troubling you?" Glynda looked behind and saw Ozpin standing with a mug in his hands.

"No, just studying my students for their upcoming battle," she answered.

"I see. The annual battle with Glynda Goodwitch," Ozpin looked closer on Ruby and Blake's battle, "Interesting. Miss Rose is using the blades of weapon as swords. Though Miss Belladonna is quick to adapt to a strategy such as this,"

Ozpin stepped away, finished with his business, stopping to listen to his colleague one last time, "It seems strange. The way that Ruby looks at Blake, is the same look she gives to Miss Schnee."

Ozpin raised an eyebrow, but walked away, thinking about her observations.

A/N btw, Crescent Rose is fine. Wielding the blade of her scythe is a reference to Gehrman from Bloodborne. Who btw, is tough as nails.

So it wasn't a month like last time, but I still want updates to come in faster. I'm gonna try and write shorter chapters and update at least once every two weeks.

Also, don't forget I have a YouTube channel where I have a review of Plague of Shadows, DLC for Shovel Knight.
