Neptune and Sun's

“...heard it over here.” the voice said, and Ruby recognized it as Neptune’s. She quickly dove back into a different part of the bushes, wincing as the thorns poked into even more bare skin, especially wincing as they poked into her breasts. She peered through the bush to see Neptune and Sun running over, stopping at the bush.

“The screaming came from over here, right?” Neptune asked.

“Yes, I’m sure, but where-?” Sun started to ask, before noticing something in the bushes. He reached over and plucked a piece of Ruby’s towel from the thorns. “What is this?” he asked, handing it to Neptune.

“It seems to be some sort of fabric, from a blanket maybe?” he said, and Ruby rolled her eyes as she knew they were starting their “Jr. Detectives” thing.

“Hey!” a voice called from above. Neptune, Sun, and Ruby looked up to see Weiss leaning out the window. “What’s going on? Did I hear screaming?” she asked.

“We don’t know, bt we found this.” Neptune said, holding up the scrap.

“What’s that?” she asked, squinting.

“It’s a scrap of fabric, though we don’t know what it’s from.” he answered.

“Well, we have our own problem.” Weiss said. “I think Ruby was taking a shower, because there’s steam in the bathroom, but I can’t find her. Her scroll is in here, so I can’t get ahold of her. The window was open, though.” Weiss explained.

“You don’t think Ruby...fell out, do you?” Neptune asked Sun. He shrugged.

“If she did, she might be in the bushes, possible ****.” he said, and Ruby tensed up. “Should we look?”

“Hmmm...no...it doesn’t look like she’s here, since if she had fallen ****, she would be right here.” he said pointing to the part of the bushes right below the window. “If she isn’t here, then that means she went somewhere else. Besides, I wouldn’t want to go through those thorns.” Neptune answered, and Ruby let out a small sigh of relief. That was almost right, and would have been, if she wasn’t completely naked. “We still don’t know what this is, though” he said, holding up the fabric again.

“We can worry about that later. Let’s go look around for Ruby.” Sun said, then told Weiss. She nodded, and her head disappeared back into the room, a look of concentration on her face. For a moment Ruby wondered if Weiss had already figured out what actually happened, or was close to it. Neptune and Sun soon left, leaving Ruby naked and alone with the remains of her towel. She glanced around to see if anyone was around, then slowly crawled out of the bush, wincing at the stings of the thorns’ scratches all over her. She looked up at the window. She had to get back up there without being seen. She took a deep breath, and started running.
