The Return Trip

Their task half done, the two girls now simply had to return to their room. By their internal estimates they only had a little more than two minutes.

Once again, the duo faced the long hallway of team rooms. They had been almost caught before, only barely managing to hide before a stranger saw their bare bodies. Now they simply had to chance it again.

Blake glanced around the corner as she hugged the wall, Weiss standing close to her back. The Faunus sighed to herself, her cat ears twitching in irritation, her face sporting a light blush.

"Well...here goes nothing." And with that the black haired huntress stepped around the corner and bolted down the hallway, Weiss once again close behind her. For a few moments the girls heard nothing but the sound of their bare feet on the carpet as the rapidly moved, **** to get to cover, along with the pounding of their own heart.

Then, only a few dozen feet from their goal, the heard a dorm room door open. Being the one in the rear, Weiss fought the urge to look behind her as she tried to speed up and get around the corner before she was seen.

Blake dove around the corner first. Weiss was only a few feet away when she heard a voice behind her.

"What the..?" It sounded like the voice of a boy.

Only a moment later, Weiss quickly moved around the corner, her heart beating fast. Someone had seen her!

Blake was already edging up to the next corner, but Weiss could hear more from behind them.

"Something up dude?" A different voice from before said.

"I thought I saw a naked girl running around the corner just now." The voice from before said.

"Really? Someone running around naked at Beacon in the afternoon? You sure you aren't seeing things?"

"...Maybe. I don't know man, maybe I'm still tired from our mission if I'm seeing naked girls with nice asses streaking though the halls."

Weiss flushed as she moved away following after Blake. A schoolmate saw her ass! It was somehow different than a complete stranger seeing her naked. It made her feel a lot more panicky.

Blake motioned to continue and the two moved quickly back to their own room. Blake opened the door and the two nude huntresses let out a sigh of relief as they closed it behind them. They had done it! They'd run naked through the halls of their dorms without ruining their reputations.

Weiss's scroll beeped as a new email came in.

'FIVE MINUTES ARE UP, BUT I SEE THE TWO OF YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL. AND WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT. VERY NICELY DONE. I'LL BE IN TOUCH SOON WITH YOUR NEXT TASK.'

Blake walked over and plopped her bare behind down on her bed, holding her head in her hands.

"We can't keep doing this Weiss. This person is just going to keep escalating until we're completely in over our heads. It has to stop." Blake said in a tired tone. "Has your hacker found anything yet? They've had two weeks to look."

"Nothing, but from the tone of that message the Blackmailer was watching us in real time. Perhaps that means they're close by." Weiss reasoned as she put a hand on her chin, thinking as she paced the room. The heiress was still just as naked as her teammate.

"And if they have cameras in the dorms, then that means they have access to them. Then they'd either have to be a student or a member of the staff here!" Blake said, coming to an epiphany.

"That narrows it down from anyone in the Kingdom to just a few hundred people. I'm sure that will help with the search!" Weiss said as she sent off a message on her scroll.
