"...Hmmm..." Ruby finally opened her eyes "...Is this...my room? What happened last night?" She mumbled to herself...Before her eyes widened as she remembered what happened "...Oh..."
She sighed and tried to sit up...but then she noticed something was wrapped around her.
"Eh?" She looked over...and first, Saw Akame laying down close to her on her right, peacefully asleep. But when she looked to her left...she saw Leone, asleep as well...with her arms and one of her legs wrapped around Rubies body as if she was a bodypillow.
"EEH?" Ruby gasped, Blushing madly because of the situation she was under. she tried to wiggle out of Leones arms and leg, which was useless. She thought about using her Semblance to dash away, but then she realized she might wake them up if she does so.
"What do I do?" Ruby asked herself, as she tried to get away from Leone first. which Leone, still asleep, only hugs Ruby tighter. And Ruby could feel Leones massive Airbags get squished into her own chest "Dang it, Let go!" She said blushing red.
"...Hmmmm...Ruby?"
As Ruby heard Akames voice, She looked back to see Akame finally awake.
"Heeeeeeeeeeelp..." Ruby begged, showing her situation to Akame.
"..." Akame just stares, before sighing and sitting up. she then got a hand on Leones arm and one hand on Rubies shoulder, and tried to separate them both.
"Hmmm~~~" Leone hums in her sleep as she then turns around, and not only was she hugging ruby, she was completely on top of the younger girl!
"EEEH?" Ruby gasped further!
"Jeez Leone." Akame grumbled, ad tried to get the Blonde off of the Red-haired girl "Leone, Wake up!"
"AAah~..." Leone then cuddled her face into Rubies cheek.
"AAAAAAH HEEEEELP!" Ruby begged.
"Leone!" Akame spoke louder, which Leone didn't even hear "...You asked for it." She then placed her hand on Leones Face, covering her mouth and pinching her nose shut.
"...hmph...Hmmmmph...Hmm?...HMPH...HHHMMMMMHMHMHMHMHMPH!" Leone then let go of Ruby and jumped up, and Akame let go of her face "AAH! Jeez are you trying to suffocate me in my sleep?!"
"Good morning." Akame greeted as she helped Ruby get up too.
"...Did something happen?" Leone asked.
"You were glued to me like I was an extra Pillow!" Ruby informed.
"Awww Didn't like it?" Leone asked.
"...Can we just go Eat something? I...I feel like I'm...Starving..." Ruby said, before placing a hand on her stomach and feeling a bit exhausted.
"Hey you okay?" Leone asked in worry.
"...She hasn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon." Akame pointed out "She just needs to eat something."
"Y-Yeah...Let's go to the kichen..." Ruby tried to stand up.
"No. Sit right in bed." Akame ordered "I'll bring you breakfast in bed."
And as Akame walked out, Ruby faced Leone.
"What's going on?" Ruby asked.
"Did you forget what happened last night?" Leone asked.
"Y-Yeah...Me and Akame were fighting that man a-And...He used some kind of a trick...I-I remember Killing him but...what happened after that?" Ruby said.
"Ruby...You came down with a Panic Attack last night." Leone answered.
"W-What?!" Ruby gasped.
"Whoever Zanku showed you, made you have a panic attack. And in all your Panic you massacred the asshole and...then you tried to attack Akame next." Leone explained.
"WHAT?!" Ruby gasped louder "D-did I hurt someone?!"
"Hey hey hey Calm down. No, Akame managed to calm you down before you went out of control, and you just fainted." Leone answered.
"...Oh thank god..." Ruby sighed, glad she didn't do something horrible.
"...And also, Congrats! You have the Week off!" Leone cheered.
"...I...What?" Ruby asked.
"I'm Off duty?" Ruby asked in surprise as she eats the Fish Akame Skinned, unboned and cooked for her.
"Until We can be sure your emotionally stable." Akame answered "You still have to do house chores tho."
"But...I'm fine_"
"Like hell you are." Leone suddenly cuts her off "You had a PANIC ATTACK. Do I have to hammer that in for you?"
"I'll be fine! I promise!" Ruby tried to argue back "That was just a onetime thing! It won't happen again."
"'Onetime thing'?" Leone questioned "We didn't say you'll do it again. We just want you to fully recover from that."
"It's just a week." Akame pointed out "You won't be stuck here forever. You just need to emotionally get better."
"We can all do that together!" Leone suggested "Just you, Me, Akame, and anyone else, and before you know it you'll be back in action soon!"
"...Okay." Ruby nodded "...But I want all the cookies that I can get!"
"5-year-old." Akame said with a poker face.
"Meat-grinder!" Ruby shot back.
"...Pfff Hahaha!" Then they both giggled.
"Hah! Nice one you two!" Leone complemented.
For the next few hours, Ruby helped around with washing and drying the clothes alongside Akame, Cleaning the training ground with Bulat, Move some supplies to the kitchen with Lubbock.
"I see you're feeling better." Ruby heard Najenda speak as she entered the kitchen as she and Lubbock were managing the fruits.
"Yup! All good so far!" Ruby cheered with a Peace sign "So hey. Where's Tatsumi today?"
"Thanks to his Aura, His wound is all healed up." Najenda explained "So I put Sheele in charge of his training for the day."
"Was it really smart to leave Sheele in charge of him today?" Lubbock asked.
"It's fine. Sheele likes Tatsumi Company anyway." Najenda said.
"What makes you sure?" Lubbock asked.
"He's just good with ladies." Najenda said.
"Well, He's pretty polite." Ruby admited.
"See? It's one of his charms." Najenda agreed.
"AAAAGH NO FAAAAAIR!" Lubbock groaned.
"Ugh, Perv." Ruby sighed.
"Oh get off my case!" Lubbock yelled.
"...And since he's an assassin, you could say he's a...LADY KILLER." Najenda joked.
"...Get out." Ruby demanded.
"...Sorry." Najenda sighed.
"No, I'm serious get the HECK OUT!" Ruby yelled as she threw a pineapple at A panicked Najenda.
Ruby then tried to find Sheele and Tatsumi to check up on them, Only to find Tatsumi swimming out of a river in heavy armor.
"Good job swimming with heavy armor." Sheele praised while sitting on a nearby rock.
"...That's a training thing?" Ruby asked.
"KYA!" Sheele gasped as she looked back "R-Ruby?"
"H-Hey you're awake!" Tatsumi said "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm good." Ruby nodded "And is swimming with heavy armor really safe?"
"Oh...As long as the water isn't deep or too strong, then it is safe." Sheele explained.
"Huh. Nice." Ruby nodded "I thought You'd be doing something around the hideout too."
"About that, Why don't you have any duties? Like...ever?" Tatsumi asked.
"..." Sheele remained silent at first "...One time, When I tried to help with cooking, I burned the food. Akame was really mad."
"Ouch." Ruby said.
"When cleaning, I made a bigger mess and Bulat had to clean it all up by himself." Sheele explained.
"Oh." ruby nodded.
"And while shopping, I accidentally bought Salt instead of sugar." Sheele said "Leone laughed for hours."
"Well...They DO look similar in every way, So..." Ruby said.
"And during laundry...I ended up washing Mine along side the clothes too..."
"..." Suddenly...Ruby hunched over a bit.
"R-Ruby?" Sheele called out.
"Ah...aah..."
"H-Hey you okay?" Tatsumi called out.
"AAh...AAAHaha...PFFFFF AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!"
...And the two just watch in shock as Ruby burst out laughing hard.
"AAAHAHAH! H-HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!" Ruby asked in between gasps for air "What, did all that pink change the color of the other clothes too?!"
"N-No!" Sheele denied "...Maybe...O-Okay, a little."
"...AAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Sheele only blushed in embarrassment as Ruby laughed harder while clutching her own stomach.
"OOh my god...Oh that one was priceless..." Ruby finally calmed down.
"P-Please don't laugh at_" Then suddenly, Sheeles glasses fell from her face "Ah...My glasses. I-I can't see without my glasses!"
"Okay, Hold on a moment Velma." Ruby joked before picking up her glasses and gently placing them on her face "There you go."
"Th-Thanks..." Sheele said, blushing to see Rubies face from up close. And she couldn't help but find her Darkish red hair and Silver eyes...rather cute.
"...W-Wait...Velma?" Sheele asked with confusion "but, My name is Sheele."
"Haha, forget it. It's an old joke." Ruby laughed it off 'Not that they would get it anyway...I miss having old TV shows...'
"...Um, Sheele...How did you end up as an assassin in the first place?" Tatsumi asked.
"Well, At first I was raised at the capitals down town. Ever since I was little, I've always been a klutz. I never could hold onto a job for long because I would constantly be fired or let go. People would always make fun of me on my back." Sheele explained, making Ruby feel sad foor her "But dispite all of that, I had a very good friend of mine. No matter how I messed up, She wouldn't make fun of me. Every time I spent with her was the happiest of my life."
Ruby smiled at that, being reminded of her own old friends and team.
"Until one day...A man broke into her house while I was there. Apparently it was her Ex-boyfriend. He was mad at her for dumping him, and he was also on some drugs too. He first started to mess up the house, but then he began to chock her." Sheele explained while Ruby gasped "Seeing that, I just...Picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the neck...And I was surprisingly calm about it."
"...Did you get arrested?" Ruby asked.
"No. The case was closed as self defense." Sheele explained "And after that day...I never saw my friend again?"
"D-did she disappear?" Ruby asked.
"No...for a while she wouldn't even look at me. Then one day...She moved her house without me ever knowing." Sheele explained "She just vanished without ever telling me anything."
'...That's not right...' Ruby thought '...Unless...'
"...But then, The friends of that Ex-boyfriend suddenly had me surrounded one day while I was out shopping. He was apparently in a gang, and they had come for revenge." Sheele continued "They said they had already killed my parents...but I was still calm for some reason. I still had kept the knife from before, so...I killed every single one of them easily. Then I realized...My clumsiness was why I was so good at killing. It made me good for one thing that I wouldn't mess up at. After that, I was scouted out by the revolutionary Army while working as a local assasssin."
"...oh boy...Should you tell her or should I?" Ruby asked.
"...Tell her what?" Tatsumi asked.
"Never mind." ruby then faced Sheele "Sheele, First of all...Did your friend...Ever show or introduce you to any of her other friends?"
"Oh yes. She did." Sheele answered.
"...Did you happen to mess up during those meetings?" ruby asked again.
"...A few times, yes." Sheele asked.
"Did she ever defend you during those mess ups?" Ruby asked yet again.
"Of course! but she couldn't help but Giggle a few times." Sheele said with a smile.
"...Sheele I...I'm sorry, I don't know how to break this to you but..." Ruby started "...Your friend kept you around to make herself look better."
"...W-What?" Sheele asked in shock while Tatsumi was surprised.
"I've seen some people do that a lot. They'd find a lonely or an outcast individual and drag them around so they can make themselves look better than the other person." Ruby explained "I'm sorry, but she was just using you to look greater in comparison. If she really was your Friend she wouldn't just up and leave you like that."
"...Oh..." Sheele said as she sadly looked down "... it really was too good to be true...I guess I'm to blame for that too, I should have seen that coming..."
"I-Its not that bad sheele!" Tatsumi tried to cheer her up.
"Also, There's something you're really wrong about Sheele." Ruby pointed out "Killing isn't The only thing your good at! If you haven't noticed, You're actually GREAT at one thing in particular!"
"I-I am?" Sheele asked "But...what is that one thing?"
"TEACHING!" Ruby answered, surprising them both "Sheele, Did you forget how I didn't know this country's writing? You're the one that taught me! Heck It's been just a month and a half and I'm already almost fluent at writing thanks to you!"
"Y-You think so?" Sheele asked with a blush.
"Yeah! I bet you'd make a Great school teacher!" Ruby praised.
"...T-Teacher?" Sheele gasped.
"Hey...yeah she's right!" Tatsumi agreed "You've been training me for the day and...You haven't Messed up at that all day!"
"See? You might be terrible at other things but, You're great at teaching!" Ruby explained further.
"...I...I think I am..." Sheele nodded, finally noticing that she isn't a klutz at something other than killing.
A day later, Everyone gathers in the meeting room.
"Now that Tatsumis Wounds have healed fast, We can discuss this much sooner than anticipated." Najenda spoke "Now about Zankus teigu, We think we can give it to one of you two."
"eh? You're giving us one of those?" Tatsumi asked.
"One Teigu per person." Bulat Answered "Only one of them can take a lot of physical and psychological strength to handle."
"...Wanna try it first?" Ruby asked.
"Can I?" Tatsumi asked while Ruby nodded "Cool!"
he placed it on his forehead.
"...So can You read minds now?" Ruby asked.
"What am I thinking right now?" Akame asked.
"... You're thinking about having meat for launch!" Tatsumi guessed.
"Amazing!" Akame said.
"He hasn't even activated it yet!" Mine yelled.
"Okay, let me just...WHOA!" Tatsumi then fell back, Surprised by something.
"What's wrong with you?" Mine asked.
"Are you okay?" Akame asked.
"Did you finally activate something?" Ruby asked.
"Holy...ah..." Tatsumi then suddenly seemed pale.
"Crap, It's rejecting him." Mine said while Akame took it off.
"What happened...i-it was working for a second tho." Tatsumi said.
"Teigus have a personality of their own." Najenda explained "So their holders first impressions are pretty important for them."
"Did you think of it as weird?" Ruby asked.
"...Kind of, But I didn't call it names or insult it." Tatsumi said.
"...It's super sensitive then." Ruby guessed.
"Your turn." Akame handed Ruby Spector.
"Okay...here goes." She placed it on her forehead next.
"Is it working?" Leone asked.
"I dunno...let me see..." Ruby blinked a bit and...she suddenly gasped at the next thing she saw.
She could see everyone in the room...in their underwear!
"WHAAAAAT?!" Ruby yelled as she frantically looks around in the room.
"Wh-Whats wrong?!" Lubbock asked.
"...Guys...this thing...It-IT HAS X RAY VISION!" Ruby yelled, Staring at everyone in shock "W-Wait Lubbock Isn't that Bulats boxers your wearing?!"
"...Say what?" Bulat asked in surprise.
"I-I was short on underwear okay?! I had to!" Lubbock explained.
"You could have just asked." Bulat pointed out.
"S-Stop Looking! Pervert!" Mine yelled.
"I-Im not_"
"You're Bi!" mine yelled again.
"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH...AAAAAAAH!" Ruby then yelled as she looked away from Leones direction "LEONE GET OUT! YOU'RE BUTT NAKED!"
"EH?!" Leone blushed red.
"LUCKY!" Lubbock yelled In anger.
"Ruby, Calm down." Akame said.
"I can't! I'm seeing you in your panties right now! It's weird!" Ruby yelled "This can't get any...Ow what the..."
Then, They noticed that Ruby rubbed her eyes a little
"Ow...Did something go into my eyes?" Ruby asked herself.
"Ugh One of your eye lashes probably broke off!" Mine groaned "Just blink it out!"
"I'm trying but...Eh?" She then looked at everyone in the room "...EH?" she then looked at najenda too...then she looked at Bulat next "EEEEEEH!"
"W-What now?" Mine asked.
"OH GOD!" Ruby gasped as she looked down closing her eyes "IT WENT OVER THE UNDERWEAR!"
"...WHAT?!" everyone gasped.
"THE X RAY VISION WENT OVER THE UNDERWEAR!? EVERYONES NAKED!" Ruby yelled.
"T-TAKE IT OFF!" Mine screamed.
"KYA! Ruby don't look! please!" Sheele pleaded.
"OH SHOOT!" Bulat gasped as he covered his generals "J-Just don't look over me, Tatsumi or Lubbock's way!"
"LUCKY!" Lubbock yelled even angrier.
"SHUT UP YOU PERV!" Leone angrily yelled at Lubbock.
"I think you should take it off now." Najenda ordered, Covering her breasts because of her lack of a bra to Ruby.
"I'm working on...Wh-What the..." Ruby them gasped with her eyes wide open, looking at everyone "Wh-Wh-What the...AAH!"
And everyone just gasped in shock as Ruby screamed in horror!
"Ruby?" Sheele asked.
"What's wrong?" Leone tried to approach her.
"S-STAY BACK!" Ruby yelled in fear, which shocked everyone "What the_AAAAAH!"
Then she ripped the Eye off of her forehead, And she sees everyone was back to normal!
"Oh...Oh my god...Oooooh my goooood..." Ruby sighed in relief, Before handing out Spector "S-Someone get this demonic thing away from me!"
Akame complied and took Spector out of Rubies hands.
"What happened?" Tatsumi asked.
"...well...A-After it showed everyone without their undies...I-It then showed everyone without...Skin." Ruby explained.
"...wait...so you're saying that..." Tatsumi gasped.
"...You saw how our muscles looked like without skin." Najenda guessed.
"Y-Yeah...and then in the last second...J-Just imagine How Leones SKELETON looks like!" Ruby yelled.
...Everyone just looks at Ruby in shock, unable to believe what just happened.
"...I think you should rest up back in your room for the day Ruby. You clearly need it." Najenda ordered.
"Okaaaaay..." Ruby nodded in exhaustion, and lumps over to the door.
"...So...Did it accept her or..." Tatsumi asked.
"From the way its powers went overboard, It clearly Rejected her." Najenda asked "And it's best we don't let her touch this for the time being. It might be too strong for her to handle."
"Uuugh...So much for taking it easy." Ruby sighed as she laid down on her bed.
As she lays down in exhaustion of today's events, She heard a knocking on the door.
"Come on in." She said.
And so, Sheele Walks in right after.
"Sorry to bother you." Sheele said as she walked in.
"Oh no it's fine." Ruby waved it off.
Sheele sat down on the bed next to Ruby.
"...Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?" Ruby asked.
"W-Well...R-Ruby did you...really mean what you said today?" Sheele asked "that I can actually be a great teacher?"
"Well, Yeah. There's always something that everyones good at beside killing monsters or jerks." Ruby explained "For example: I'm great at weapon making."
"Hehe. Yes, true." Sheele agreed "It's just that...No one ever told me that I can be good at anything. The others mostly help me or keep an eye on me so I wouldn't mess up but...It's the first time someone told me I'm great at anything."
"Because You are good at teaching Sheele." Ruby said before placing a hand on Sheeles hands, making her blush "And...Heheh...I guess you could say you were...too air-headed to see that?"
"...Pff...Ahhahaaha!" Sheele laughed at Rubies Pun "...Thanks a lot Ruby."
"Sure!" Ruby nodded with her smile "...So...Wanna help me with my lessons?"
"Of course." Sheele nodded as Ruby picked up her notebook and pencil "Now, How about...I teach you how Fruits are written?"
"I guess I need to know that." Ruby nodded.
And for the next 2 hours, Sheele kept teaching Ruby without fail.
