Thankfully, the rest of Detective Tsukauchi's interrogation passed without much problem. A few half-truths here and there that should be true enough to pass the Detective's quirk, but not give away that she was hiding something important, which he most likely already knew. Unless he was an incompetant as those Vale officers that didn't even try going after Roman Torchwick and the White Fang, but Weiss really doubted that. Detective Tsukauchi's quirk would have been wasted on an idiot. 

"Let's go shopping." Yu tried pulling on Weiss' arm, much to the white haired girl's annoyance. Did Weiss really need clothes? Judging by the ripped dress in her room and the oversized hoodie and sweatpants she was currently wearing, yes, yes she did. Did she also want to be further indebted to a woman she already owed a lot to? 

"No." Weiss narrowed her eyes, glaring at the older woman who was trying to drag her into the elevator. Detective Tsukauchi already left a while ago, leaving the two women alone. 

"You need clothes. That dress is torn and doesn't even fit you anymore! You can't walk around in these old things." Yu tried using all of her strength, but Weiss used a glyph to anchor her feet to the ground, with some help from her aura of course. 

Yu did have some good points there, but Weiss didn't want to be a burden on the hero. She already offered Weiss a home which was more than enough, and was potentially committing crimes with Detective Tsukauchi just to get her settled in. 

Weiss didn't deserve all of this kindness.  

Seeing Weiss hesitate, Yu gently loosened her grip on Weiss' arm and ran her hand through Weiss' white hair slowly, causing her to flinch softly. 

"If it makes you feel better, we can just get a few necessities and clothes. Nothing fancy, just enough so that you can make yourself feel at home." Yu gave her a reassuring smile. "You do need a toothbrush, unless you want to borrow mine which is pretty gross no offense." Ruby accidently did that the first week at Beacon without Weiss knowing, which made her furious. She remembered dramatically throwing her toothbrush out the window, and made sure to label all of her belongings after that. Weiss shook the memories from her mind. 

Yu did make some good points. Biting her bottom lip, Weiss sighed, causing Yu's face to light up. 

"Fine, but nothing too expensive, and only the necessities." Weiss said, causing the glyph beneath her feet to disappear. 

"Yay!" Yu beamed as she started dragging Weiss towards the elevator. 

Hopefully she won't regret this later.

Weiss already regretted accepting Yu's offer. Even back home, when Weiss had access to all the wealth that the Schnee family possessed, she hated shopping. Why go shopping when you could have something custom made? All of her dresses were created according to Weiss' specifications and taste. For example, the torn blue dress that sat on her bed was created exclusively for her by a famous Atlassian designer who made several versions, including the longer dress she wore at Father's party. Even when she did go shopping, it would usually be such a bore. Just buy the entire store the back of Weiss' mind would tell her. 

Naturally, she didn't. Weiss wasn't Whitley who needed an entire warehouse to hold all of his clothing, but she also wasn't Winter who once went a whole month wearing the same Atlas Academy just to spite Father, though that wasn't a bad idea. However, there was one thing that Weiss never did whenever she went shopping even with the rest of Team RWBY, and it felt quite weird. 

"I don't need that many clothes…" Weiss grumbled as she struggled to hold a dozen bags in her hand. It was such an annoying feeling, even with her aura protecting her fingers. Was this how Ruby felt when Weiss made her carry all of those bags during one of their many visits to Vale? 

"Don't worry about it. I'll just write them off on my taxes." Yu ignored Weiss as they walked through a mall. The overall layout was similar to the ones Weiss had been to before, with a food court in the center selling overpriced food. 

Japanese clothing styles were completely different from what Weiss was used to, though she could spot some similarities to Mistralian and Valish fashion. Weiss only wanted to buy a pair of pants and a shirt, along with any toiletries that she needed. 

Yu ended up dragging her into multiple stores, walking out with several dresses that while were Weiss' style, were most likely of dubious quality. Any attempts at escaping failed since she didn't know the area, and thus Weiss had to deal with such torture. 

They paused in front of a lingerie store, which caused Weiss to blush softly. She was definitely not going to go in there with this woman. Yu gave Weiss a side glance, and walked past the store. 

"We already grabbed a few sports bras and other underwear. I'm sure nothing in there will fit you anyway." Yu said with a teasing grin on her face. 

"Hey!" Weiss' pale face must've been as red as a tomato. While Weiss may not have been as developed on Yang, Winter or Blake, she was completely flat. Weiss was perfect just the way she was, and she was built to be a fencer. "At least I don't have to deal with back problems." 

Yu paused suddenly as she started coughing violently, her own face starting to blush. A few passerbyers gave her a weird look, and quickly took the long way around them, as if Yu was infected with a contagious disease. 

"Shut up!" Yu walked away stiffly which caused Weiss to smirk. 

At least she won this round. 

"We have a few more stores to go to." 

Oh no-

A/N
Another filler chapter, but a needed one. The upcoming chapters shall deal with Weiss adapting to a new culture, as well as finding a way to make money. 
I hope everyone enjoyed today's chapter!

Now for the question of the day. I realized that I have no idea what Weiss' hero name shall be. At first I thought Ice/Snow Queen, but I have a Frozen crossover planned for the future and it wouldn't really fit Weiss well in the future. Though Snow Queen does seem like a possible name since I doubt Ill write the Frozen crossover anytime soon. 

Any suggestions? If I choose your name, I'll be sure to credit you when the time comes for that chapter.
