"...Ruby? What...where are we going?" Jaune asked as he hesitantly followed Ruby.
"Shut your damn mouth and keep following me, Trash." Ruby spat out the order at jaune harshly.
Jaune, still feeling guilty about what happened back in the ever after, kept following Ruby up through some stairs. And he has felt uneasy around her when he was alone with her.
Because ever since they came back, Ruby has been snapping and being hostile toward everyone around her on a daily basis. And whoever talks back against her either gets away with it with a bullet through their body, or badly injured as Ruby would even beat them up senseless with her bare hands until they'd be black and blue.
...And Nora was still bed ridden with a bandaged face, cracked ribs and most ironically of them all...both of her legs broken, as Ruby had had enough of her talking back against whatever she spat at everyone.
And he was still afraid to find out what Ruby did to Neo. Because he was sure she had returned too. but there was no proof of that.
And shortly, they finally arrive at a roof top.
"We're here." Ruby then glared back at Jaune "After you, Garbage."
Jaune sighed, having been used to be called degrading names by Ruby for a while now.
Walking forward, he saw how high up they were in one of the buildings in Vacuo.
"Ruby...Why are we here?" Jaune asked as he looked back at her.
*BLANG!*
Only for her to suddenly shoot a bullet!
*CLANG!*
Which hit Jaunes weapon on his waist, causing it to fall off the rooftops edge!
"AAH!" Jaune gasped as he jumped at what Ruby just did "Ruby what the hell?!"
"...Jump."
"...W-What?" Jaune gasped at Ruby's order.
"I. Said. JUMP." Ruby ordered, her eyes cold and devoid of remorse and mercy.
"WHAT?!" Jaune yelled as he looked back at how far up they were. And not even Aura would guarantee his survival if he fell "I-I'm not gonna_"
"Then I'll just kick you off." Ruby said "But before I do, I'm gonna CUT YOUR LIMBS OFF. And MAKE SURE you DIE when you hit the ground."
"Ruby, STOP!" Jaune yelled "Look, I'M SORRY! OKAY?! I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING THAT I SAID BACK IN_"
"Shut your mouth, Mama's Boy." Ruby ordered "Now JUMP."
"N-No I-I_"
"Okay then. New Deal." Ruby sighed "If you don't jump, I'll cut off your limbs, through you off my self, make sure you die when you hit the ground, And then, I'll find your Sister and her wife, KILL THEM, And TORTURE Little Adrian Until the WHOLE WORLD Starts to hear his screams."
"WHAT?!" Jaune shrieked.
"You don't want that? THEN JUMP." Ruby repeated her order.
"...Why? Just...Why are you doing all of this? This-THIS ISN'T YOU!" Jaune tried to plea with her.
"...It's ALL about ME, Remember?" Ruby repeated those words that still haunted Jaune "It's ALL. About ME. SO I DO WHAT EVER THE FUCK I WANT."
She aimed her weapon at him again.
"So? Does Adrian have to learn it's all about me too?" Ruby asked, which Jaune remained too terrified to answer "No? Good. NOW JUMP."
...and so, He jumped.
"WAIT NO NO NO OH GOD DON'T!" Ruby shrieked in horror as she jumped from her bed!
"AH!" Leone gasped as she got thrown off the bed!
"EEK!" Sheele jumped up from her own slumber!
"Ruby?!" Akame called out as she sat up, all four wide awake because of Ruby's nightmare. Or rather, Memory.
Ruby just gasped in and out, tears rolling down her face while her eyes are wide open, the memory of what she forced jaune to do tormenting her mind.
"...Oh god...I'm sorry...I'm...I'm so S-Sorry..." Ruby began to break down.
"Sweetie?" Leone called out as she got back on the bed, and Ruby's girlfriends all tried their best to comfort her as she cried.
"...So um...did he die?" Leone couldn't help but ask, while they all sat upright on the bed while Ruby held a glass of warm Milk that Akame brought over for her.
"N-No, He had to recover on a bed for a while." Ruby explained "He never told anyone that I forced him to. He was too scared of me...so everyone thought he was actually trying to commit suicide."
"...What happened to him after that?" Akame asked.
"Everyone...Forced him out of the team for a while. We took his weapon and made him stay behind as if he didn't belong with us anymore. They wanted him to stay somewhere safe so he...wouldn't try to 'Kill himself' Again." Ruby answered "...And I just felt great to see it all happen to him. We had a fight a while before that, I was still angry at him, I Hated him for even being around me, I-I was so horrible with him..."
"There there." Leone comforted Ruby by gently hugging her "Do you feel sad about doing that to him now?"
"Y-Yeah..." Ruby nodded.
"Then you're not a horrible person anymore. If you still were you wouldn't be sad like this." Leone said with a smile.
"And We aren't exactly the greatest Individuals ourselves." Sheele pointed out "We all kill people. I was already in the assassination job before I was scouted out, remember?"
"I've also killed so many innocent lives because of the Empires orders." Akame Said.
"And You know how I am. See? no one's perfect." Leone said as she nuzzled her face into Ruby's cheek cutely "We all have our little dark phases. So stop being sad about those times, okay? You know I don't like it when you're sad"
"...Okay." ruby smiled as she nuzzled back against Leone too, and they gave each other a quick kiss.
Then it turned into a group hug as Sheele and Akame hugged Ruby too.
Finishing up the Warm milk and placing the Glass away, Ruby sat back on the Bed. But before she lays down again, Leone hugged her from behind.
"Well now that we're all awake, Why not just have some fun~" Leone asked as she smirked.
"Leone, no." Ruby said.
"Leone Yes~~" Leone just purred and jumped on top of Ruby and began kissing her again.
And for the rest of the night...well that would be a private matter.
"The General was right. It WAS a trap." Chelsea said as she sipped her coffee "Good thing I left a lot earlier before they showed up."
"I see." Najenda nodded at her report.
"Thanks to Esdeath, We've been easily avoiding the Jaegers and the Empire itself a lot more lately." Akame stated "We might be able to bring the empire down if this continues just like this."
"Which means, I was right~" Ruby smirked as she slyly eyed Najenda "Am I right?~~"
"...Fine, whatever, you were right, Good for you." Najenda sighed as she had no choice but to admit the truth "But if she shows any signs of betrayal, Do not hesitate to kill her right away."
"Hate to say it, But it doesn't feel like she will plan on any backstabbing against us any time." Leone grumbled "Cause if she does, She'll lose Ruby."
"Seriously, How the hell are you so good with girls?" Lubbock asked again, but not out of jealousy, but out of sheer curiosity "It's not even funny anymore, it's just really starting to get scary now."
"I dunno. I Might have been infected with something when I stepped foot into this country." Ruby shrugged "But remember, We'll have to spare at least some of the Jaegers as she asked. It's a least we can do to keep a good partnership with her."
"That depends on them." Najenda said "And you're meeting her again tonight, right? Make sure you exchange more information with her only for our future targets. And Be careful not to be seen. If she is seen helping you, things will get more complicated for all of us."
"We'll be careful." Ruby nodded.
"But you're still too trusting toward her." Chelsea pointed out "You really need to be more careful around her. She might be playing you."
"She wouldn't." Ruby shook her head "She's not the type to use betrayal for her gains."
"...Why do I even bother." Chelsea sighed "Whatever. Do as you please." She then walked away.
"...Is it just me, or is Chelsea being kinda grumpy lately?" Tatsumi pointed out.
"I guess?" Lubbock answered.
Out in the forest, Seryu was seen with 3 tied up thieves, 2 males, 1 female.
"W-We're not with night raid! We only stole food because we were hungry!" One of the male thieves confessed.
"He's right! We haven't killed anyone!" the other male thief said.
"So you admit to doing evil?" Seryu coldly asked "Once you've been stained with evil, there's only death for you."
And with her order, Koro grew larger and bit off their upper halves, except for the female one.
"W-Wait! Please, they forced me to help them! If you just look into it, You'll understand!" She tried to reason with Seryu "Please, Just give me a proper trial!"
"But you helped them. And a Crime is still a crime." Seryu coldly shut down her pleas "I won't bother my captain or my superiors With over something so trivial."
Then, Koro replaced one of her prosthetic hands with a sword!
And right as she was about to swing it down on her,
"Hi Seryu!" Ash suddenly appeared and adjusted his shades, while casually holding her blade and saving the girl's life.
"Ash?" Seryu gasped "When did you..."
"Just now." Ash said as he forced her to put the Sword away "And Maaaaan, look what you did!" He then looks at the remains of the two dead thieves and the scared girl "I'm pretty sure our orders were to arrest, not kill. And you were about to kill off the one that is obviously innocent! Look at her, she's REALLY nothing like a petty criminal at all."
"But she has still helped with the crime. And_" Seryu still tried to talk, but,
"_And if she is telling the truth, she needs a real trial. Not Immediate execution." Ash spoke back to her "Seriously, Why did they even give you that doggo?" He then walked over to the girl and forced her on her feet while turning his back to Seryu "I'm starting to think you're not worthy of that thing. Maaaaaybe I should Report what you did here today~. Yeah, It's my duty to do so. I'll report your actions and luckily, the dog'll be taken away and if we're fortunate, Put to sleep."
And suddenly, Seryu grabbed him by the shoulder from behind, gripping his shoulder tightly with her metal arms.
"Watch. Your. Tone." Seryu darkly demanded "If you really want to stand in my way, I won't hesitate to get through you. Since we're teammates, I won't kill you. but I'll still make you beg for_"
"Hey..." Ash suddenly spoke up, While the Thief girl seemed terrified as a blood thirsty Aura surrounded him "I'm only going to say this once...GET YOUR FUCKING PAW OFF ME THIS INSTANT, YOU MUTT."
Seryu, Actually scared, jumped back as she didn't expect this much bloodlust from Ash.
And with that, He began to walk away while dragging the girl.
"Hey! Guys!" Wave came running toward them "What's up?"
"We got the thief. Let's just beat it." Ash said "Oh. And you might wanna go and see the mess your friend made up there."
"What?" Wave asked as he ran up ahead and saw the two corpses.
"...You good?" Ash suddenly asked as he and the girl were alone now.
"That BITCH almost killed me!" The girls tone and attitude suddenly changed.
"Keep your fucking voice down." Ash gripped her arm harder, making her wince in pain "Just keep on going as planned. You'll get a fair trial, then somehow I'll make sure you're only put in the slammer for a few weeks, and while you're in there you'll sneak out and get us what we want, Got it?"
"Not until you promise me that that dog-loving skank Get's what she deserves for that shit back there." The girl spat out.
"Don't worry, I want to have some words with her too." Ash nodded with a smirk, as he had a plan.
'...I don't know why she's even bothering...but her pride is gonna get me in trouble.'
",And that's everything you can use against your next target." Esdeath finished while Ruby, Akame, Sheele and Leone all listened.
At the moment, they all were inside a hotel room Esdeath anonymously rented, while Ruby and the others entered through the window like usual. The room was a very, VERY pricy one too. Fancy furniture, curtains made of silk, And a king sized bed that would fit all of them without any problems.
"All of these info will be of great help." Akame said.
"It will make our job much easier as well." Sheele stated.
Leone could only look annoyed as Esdeath was continuing to be a huge help to them.
"Thanks again Essy." Ruby said.
"Of course." Esdeath nodded "but now with that out of the way..."
She suddenly grabbed Ruby and hugged her closely, burying her head into her breasts again.
"I missed Hugging you so much~" Esdeath said in a cute tone while Ruby blushed as she felt her head get devoured by her chest.
And Akame, Leone and Sheele all Puffed their cheeks as they looked in annoyance.
"Hmmmm~ You smell nice~" Esdeath cuddled her face into Ruby's head.
"I always smell like Roses remember?" Ruby reminded.
"Yes, but your scent is special~" Esdeath said.
"Stop that." Akame gently pulled Ruby out of Esdeaths breasts.
"Fine." Esdeath said "so, How do you want us to spent the night, Ruby? I already had some ideas."
"I am Terrified to ask but...What Ideas are those?" Ruby asked as she just wished Akame would Hold her closer for some extra protection.
"Ideas such as these!" Esdeath them sudden pulled out 4 different items: A collar, A rope, Some kind of black cloth and finally a pare of Handcuffs?
"...Where did you pull those out of?" Leone asked as everyone Sweat dropped.
"Hammer space." Esdeath answered "so which one should we start with Ruby? With a leash? Blindfolded? Handcuffed? Or just classic Bondage~?"
"...FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILTH!"
*BONK!*
And Esdeath was bonked on the head with a rolled up magazine again. Straight out of Ruby's own Hammer Space.
"GET YOUR BRAIN OUTTA THE GUTTER ALREADY!" Ruby scolded.
"Awwww. Ruby you Meanie." Esdeath pouted While Leone snickered at seeing Esdeath be put in her place like a toddler and Akame and Sheele both sighed.
"You'd learn by now." Akame mumbled, not being the first time she had to watch Ruby shot Esdeath down for whatever reason.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Esdeath suddenly remembered something "Ruby, I was just in a meeting today with the minister."
This got everyone's attention.
"What did he say?" Ruby asked.
"He wanted to talk about The Jaegers progress in chasing after night raid. And so far, he's not pleased with the lack of progression we've made in that regard." Esdeath explained "We've kept the peace for as long as we could, but he's more focused on night raid."
"Typical of him to worry more about us than the safety of his own country." Leone said.
"Oh, well it's all Ruby's fault." Esdeath nonchalantly said.
"Eh?" Ruby and the girls all said at the same time.
"Remember the rampage you had against not just the entirety of the capital but also against General Budo?" Esdeath reminded "He and the higher ups are still concerned About that. They keep fearing that the 'Red Reaper' Will begin a massacre through the Royal palace next. And still more terrified that you escaped Budo while you were tired and wounded."
"...So the reason he wants you to prioritize night raid over other things is because the empire still thinks I'm an actual Monster?" Ruby asked.
"More like an actual Demon. And Budo still sulks and grumbles about it." Esdeath said "It's somehow amusing to see them tighten their security at night when they go to sleep."
"What, So The Red Reaper doesn't appear under their bed at night?" Leone joked.
"Exactly." Esdeath nodded "But back on track: If The Jaegers do not make any progress against Night raid and mostly the Red Reaper, The minister would choose to withhold Further development about both the capital and the empire's activities."
"What? He can't do that. You're a General." Ruby shot back.
"Withholding information about the capitals future movements from their Best General isn't smart. Even for them." Akame pointed out "So why would he be so reckless?"
"Prime Minister Honest has learned and known many things. But a running a military and an army is not one of them." Esdeath explained.
"So what are you suggesting here?" Leone asked.
"How about a confrontation?" Esdeath suggested, and the girls became shocked "We'll plan it out of course. I'll ride my Jaegers out of the capital into a patrol, and you attack us. We can even fake the death of one of your comrades too. That way the prime ministers worries can subside a little."
"...That might work." Ruby said.
"But we might end up with one actual casualty." Akame said.
"Well, We don't have much of a choice." Sheele said.
"And you don't have to worry about Kurome, We won't hurt her." Ruby assured "But I won't let her hurt you either."
"...Thanks." Akame smiled back.
"But I also take it you'll remember to go easy on my Jaegers, Yes?" Esdeath asked "You have Aura and Semblances after all. They don't."
"Oh right. We literally have the upper hand if it was a real fight." Leone said.
"We could easily force a few of them to retreat with my Semblance if needed." Sheele pointed out.
"If they can run away with whatever kind of stomachache you give them." Leone joked.
"...Since we are on the topic..." Esdeath suddenly placed her hand on Ruby's hand "Ruby. Will you unlock My Aura?"
"Eh?" the 4 just stare at Esdeath yet again after her request.
"W-What? Why?" Ruby asked.
"Curiosity." Esdeath answered "I wish to explore this Aura for myself for a while. but I gladly accept your teachings too~"
"W-Well, I, Uh-" Ruby tried to respond.
"And, I've been very useful to your cause, haven't I?" Esdeath asked "I'd say I've earned a reward for my assistance for you."
"...I mean...Well?" Ruby looked at the others.
"...If she keeps it a secret, then I don't see anything wrong with it." Akame said.
"The Boss may be angry at us again, but if she is insisting..." Sheele said.
"She'll keep nagging at us for it. Just unlock hers before that happens." Leone sighed.
"...Okay then." Ruby nodded.
Ruby and Esdeath sit infront of each other on the bed while the girls just step back and watch.
"I just need you to stand still. Easy as that." Ruby explained.
"Of course." Esdeath nodded.
"Okay...Here we go." Ruby closed her eyes and placed her hand on Esdeath.
She concentrated as before and pored her Aura into Esdeath.
'Since Essy is pretty much a One-Woman-Army of Maidens all on her own, Her Aura might be just as big as Susanoo's.' Ruby thought as she looked found herself in the same darkness again. Except there was something different.
'...Sheesh, It's really cold. Even in here. And...What is that?'
She listened closer, and could make out some whispers.
'What even is that?' Ruby tried to listen closer to the Whispers.
She looked harder and saw What should be Esdeath's soul...It was an orb as usual. Darkish blue. But...It wasn't shining like how the other's would. It felt like An Ice cube in Sub-Zero. Hardened by how icy it was.
'...This is Esdeath's soul? It's...Darker than I thought.' Ruby sadly thought as she gently held the Orb.
But as she did...She noticed some light returning to it.
'Wait...It's gaining it's glow back.'
She held the soul in both of her hands, and she could feel a pulse. and it began to beat faster and she felt warmth coming to Esdeath's soul as she held it tighter.
'...Are you trying to tell me I literally make her a better person?' Ruby facepalmed 'Gee, How symbolic.'
But then she gave it some more thought.
'No. It's because of her love for me.' Ruby thought '...I guess...I really am fixing her after all. Little by little.'
With a smile, She managed to pull Esdeath's Aura out too.
And the whole Room shined as Esdeath's Aura was unlocked. The Room Shined almost as bright as Susanoo's, causing the girls to cover their eyes. Esdeath herself was stunned as she felt a boost in her body. And a Warm feeling tingle around inside her chest.
When the shining stopped, Ruby sighed as she opened her eyes again.
"And done." Ruby said.
"O-Oh...Hmm..." Esdeath tightened one of her fists as observed it "...I can feel it. Like There's something wrapped me."
"You can already feel it?" Ruby asked "Wow. It actually takes a while for someone to fully get a feel of their Aura."
"So, I also gain more strength too, Correct?" Esdeath asked.
"Yup. But Do not Show it off. Not to the Empire, nor to the Jaegers. We can't let them know about Aura." Ruby warned "And if you want to train with it, do it alone somewhere private."
"I'll remember that." Esdeath nodded.
"Are you okay?" Akame asked as she and the others got closer to Ruby "Are you Exhausted again?"
"A little, But not as much as before." Ruby answered "I guess my body is getting used to this."
"So there. Ice Queen has her own Aura now." Leone said "Let's hope to god the boss doesn't murder us about it."
"So...How long would it Ideally take for me t Unlock my Semblance?" Esdeath asked.
"Depends. It usual has to be a life changing event or a very dangerous situation. OR you might unlock it by accident." Ruby explained "I mean, Most of Night Raid did by accident too."
"I see." Esdeath took a mental note of that "And Everyone in Night raid have Semblances too, Correct?"
"...Not all of us." Akame answered bitterly "Our new recruits just got their Aura recently. And..."
"Oh? Could it be you have not unlocked Yours?" Esdeath asked "Interesting."
Ruby, Sheele and Leone all just looked at Akame, as she was still struggling to unlock her Semblance.
...If she could even have one...
Ruby quickly dismissed the thought and placed a hand on Akames own hand.
"Remember what I said. You're still plenty dangerous without a Semblance." Ruby reminded "You've done well without one so far! It just takes time for some people."
"I know. Sorry to get hung up about it again." Akame nodded with a smile. But Esdeath decided to remember that detail for later.
"Anyway. Unlocking my Aura must have been quite tiring for you." Esdeath said as she suddenly pulled Ruby in for another hug "Try and rest. Okay?"
"I-I will." Ruby nodded.
"I meant, Rest here." Esdeath said.
"I know..." Ruby sighed while the girls all grumbled that Esdeath can be with them for the night. Not because they didn't trust Esdeath, because she would hug Ruby All to herself.
So in a matter of minutes, Ruby had taken her cloak off and the girls wore some nightgowns the hotel provided for Esdeath, without asking any questions because of fearing for their lives of course. But Leone chose to sleep with her own garments as usual. Nightgowns weren't her style.
But there was a detail that they all noticed.
"Huh. you got matching colors too." Ruby said as she wore a red nightgown, Akame wore a black one, Sheele a purple one and there was an unused Yellow one left aside.
"I only ask for the best things for my dearly beloved." Esdeath proudly said while wearing her own Blue Nightgown "And it also goes for my...What do they call it? 'Harem Sisters'?"
"Don't call us that. Makes me feel weird." Akame facepalmed.
"I-It is the proper term for it however..." Sheele blushed.
"Sheele don't Side with her." Leone said.
"Well, It was really sweet of you." Ruby smiled "And...You really should stop spending so much money on rooms like this." She took another look at the high class Hotel Room Esdeath rented for the night "It might draw too much attention."
"I rented it with a anonymous check in. and the people who do know I'm staying won't say a word." Esdeath assured "Believe me. they won't unless that want a tour of my torture chambers~"
"Y-You wouldn't do that to innocents workers in this hotel, would you?" Ruby sweat dropped.
"Of course not. It's just a threat." Esdeath answered.
"Good." Ruby sighed "...But still, We gotta do something about your Torture Hobby."
"Just come here You." Esdeath then hugged Ruby and laid down on the bed still hugging her closely.
Not wanting to leave Ruby all to Esdeath. Leone quickly jumped on the other side of the bed and hugged Ruby too.
And there she was again, Surrounded on both sides with massive boobs pressing against her. It used to freak Ruby out but now, She just fought the Urge to show her blush.
While Leone just stares at Esdeath with her cheeks puffed, The General just smirks back as the two keep hugging onto Ruby.
"You know I really don't need to be drowned in your breasts all the time, Right?" Ruby spoke up.
"You love 'em. Admit it." Leone said.
"And You never tried to stop me whenever I presented mines to you~" Esdeath teased.
"I would, If you two weren't clinging onto me like glue." Ruby explained, while the two just pressed their chests against hers even more.
"Just stop crushing her." Akame Scolded as she separated the two from Ruby and helped her sit up.
"If you don't like our feminine charms, then how about we play go for something more interesting?~" Leone asked.
"Where are you going with this?" Ruby sweat dropped, scared of what Leone was coming up with this time.
"How aboooooouuuuuut...You describe each of us in one or few words!" Leone suggested.
"I'm actually interested to see how this will go." Esdeath said with intrigue.
"Where did you even come up with that?" Ruby asked.
"I heard some couples around the capital do this to be cutesy with each other." Leone explained "I just wanna know how you'll do it!"
"I don't mind hearing what you think of us." Akame agreed to it.
"A-As long as It's not inappropriate." Sheele nodded too.
"A-Alright fine." Ruby agreed to it "Let's...Start With Akame I guess."
She then faced Akame.
"If I hade to describe you in a few words or just one...I'd settle for 'Cool and beautiful'." Ruby said, and caused a blush on Akame's face.
"And for Leone...I guess 'Bold and gorgeous'." Ruby continued.
"Oh you~" Leone giggled with a small blush.
"For Sheele...'Kind and Cute'." Ruby said, ad Sheele blushed really hard.
"And finally for Esdeath...'Strong and pretty'?" Ruby finished.
"Was there any doubt that I'd be described as such?~" Esdeath pridefully boasted.
Which only caused Ruby to gain a sly smirk.
"But, I'd also have to settle for 'Softy' too." Her words caused Esdeath to be surprised "Cause under all of that icy attitude of yours, there's a very kind and loving person~"
...Esdeath began to blush madly after ruby's words, which in turn caused Leone to smirk at her embarrassed state.
"...Th-Thank you for the complement..." Esdeath shyly said while facing away.
"Anything for you, Essy~" The nickname only caused Esdeath to blush harder.
"And that's why we keep calling you a chick magnet." Leone said to Ruby.
"Where do you keep coming up with such words?" Akame asked out of sheer curiosity "You somehow keep seducing other girls."
"I-I don't seduce anyone! You four came to me on your own choices!" Ruby said.
"I agree. Ruby is far too pure in mind for seduction." Sheele spoke "I'd say she just has that Air about her that keeps gaining attention."
"There you have it." Ruby nodded at Sheele's explanation.
"Too much attention some times." Sheele however continued.
"that or you're just too cuuuuute~~~" Leone then hugged Ruby real close.
"I've been told I'm plenty cute already, But thanks anyway." Ruby chuckled.
"Speaking of Cute~" Leone then slowly closed in and stole a kiss from Ruby.
Ruby just kissed and and smiled as Leone broke the kiss. And then,
"Me next." Akame got closer.
"Okay, Okay." Ruby smiled and kissed Akame next.
Their kiss lasted just as much as the one with Leone, until they separated with light blushes on their face.
"Sheele?~" Ruby then looks at Sheele who blushed.
"I'd Like that..." Sheele shyly nodded.
And Ruby gently gave the airhead a kiss too.
"Is it my turn now?~" Esdeath asked.
"Okay, If you ask nicely~" Ruby teased.
"I don't ask." Esdeath leaned forward toward Ruby "I take."
And another kiss led to another, and the rest of the night became a blur again.
"And our thief is in the jail house now?" Ash asked as he sat alone in his room.
"Yes. She'll have the reports you want soon enough."
"Perfect." Ash rubbed his hands together "It's all coming together~"
"...We also managed to find the person you've been searching for."
"Oh, Even BETTER!" Ash then got up from his chair "Show me where later. For now, keep Staying outta sight."
"As you wish." the voice then vanished.
"Hmhmhmhm." Ash then chuckled darkly "Alright, Red Reaper, Ruby rose, Whatever you call yourself now...Let's see how well you'll play along with our Script~"
