Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN AKAME GA KILL! OR ITS CHARACTERS. ALL OF THEM BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS
A/N: I will be making an AGK fanfic that follows the anime though will slightly differ because I'll be adding an OC in the picture. Expect this OC to be strong (at least on par with Esdeath & Akame), witty, smart and an overall badass. What's more, I'll be giving him a teigu that you readers would recognize as a memento of a certain character from the anime, Naruto. Possible pairings for the OC are the ff:
Akame ( waifu ;))
Mine
Leone
Chelsea
NOW WITH NO FURTHER ADO, LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD

IN A SMALL VILLAGE, MILES FROM THE CAPITAL
"I guess it's time", getting up from his sitting position on the bed. A young warrior, with a sigh, heads for the door of his room and out of the house.
The person had dark hair, of average height wearing a black hoodie over a white fitted shirt that hugs his lean and athletic physique, a belt holding 2 silver trench knives and some additional equipment, dark blue jeans and dark brown combat boots. 2 simple daggers hang securely in a cross formation by two holsters behind him and a short sword at the back, sheathed with a strap running across the left shoulder to the right side of the hip.. Underneath his clothes is light armor on his upper body, arms, and legs. He along with his friends Tatsumi, Sayo and Ieyasu are going to the Capital after the completion of their training.
"Cash, check
Weapons, check
Belongings, check
Alright, let's roll" he muttered to himself
As he finished preparing for their departure, he can't help but reminisce of his experiences. Who can blame him? Being away from home isn't that easy. He knows damn well how the world out there is ruthless and harsh, primarily from the fact that his village is suffering and that's why they ARE LEAVING. To free it from its misery, "I'm going to miss this place" he said to himself again as he slings his brown traveling bag to his right shoulder before finally stepping out of the house he knows as "home".
He was an orphan at an age of 6, parents entrusting him to a friend who happens to be an ex-military officer. Said parents didn't want to say their goodbyes but they know first – hand how the dangerous the Capital is and plans to defend their image stained by no other than the Prime Minister himself, Onest.
"I love you, my angel" his mom, whom he remembers all too well, tells him with tears streaming down her face while giving the child one last hug. The father kneeled down, a sorrowful smile adorning his face, and gave him a memento and a weapon in the form of 2 trench knives while saying these words before their suicidal journey:
"We will love you always." (A/N: damn naruto feels) he said while also hugging his child, trying in vain to calm the tears that fell from his son that never ceases to sting his heart. Turning to his friend for one last time, he said the child's name, "his name's Rex. I leave him in your care, Michael my good friend" he said patting his friend then turning to his wife to leave.
The middle – aged former military officer wanted to convince the child's parents to just stay but in the end, it was in vain so he just gave up, hoping that they would "somehow" survive and come back to see their beloved child. "I guess this is it, you two. I wish you all the best" he said, hoping against hope that at least one of them would survive. Nah, who is he kidding? He knows them both to be a stubborn bunch though still, he wanted them to survive, for their son's sake. Days, months, years passed, no news have heard of them ever since. From that time forward, said officer took it upon himself to raise the child to be a fine warrior and at the same time, be a parent-figure to show him what it means to be human.
Stepping out, Rex feels the cool breeze brushing his face ever so gently while slightly lifting his unbuttoned hoodie along with his jacket. He breathes in, then breathes out, taking in the air before he makes a name for himself in a way that would've make his parents and foster father proud. He then joins with a brown haired teen with green eyes he knows as Tatsumi sporting a winter coat over his tan sweater and high, collar jacket along with the other two people, Ieyasu with a white head band and Sayo with a flower design on the side of her hair.
"Heyyyy Rex, we're leavin'! "said Ieyasu, a big grin on his face. Him and the other two were waiting for Rex for a good few minutes now. "Coming." he said, a small smile adorning his facial expression/ After they have reached the village gates, the 4 warriors turn to their mentor one last time. The middle – aged man, knowing his disciples are ready for what is ahead, said his words of wisdom and encouragement. Afterwards, giving Tatsumi a small wooden idol. "What's this for?" he said looking at his mentor with a questioning gaze. "This is a parting gift for you. When you're in a pinch –" Tatsumi interrupted, "sell it?" he said, earning a displeased look on his teacher. "No, idiot. When you're in a pinch, this will protect you." He continued. After all is said and done, the 4 teens waved their master good bye while walking to their targeted destination: the Capital.
DIRT ROAD, ON THE WAY TO THE CAPITAL (A/N: This follows Episode 1 of the anime, though Tatsumi isn't alone this time)
Two merchants can be seen traveling towards the Capital via horse carriage when suddenly a brown, overgrown creature with blood shot sclera and black irises that looks identical to a lizard emerges from the ground, startling the merchants and the horse. "E-E-Earth Dragon!" the 2 merchants attempted to make a run for it. Neither did they know that there was no need for such a thing.
"Hey Tats, wanna gang up on this one?" a low yet cocky voice said as the person readied his daggers, pulling them both from their holsters. "I'll take the back, you take the front. We good?" he continued. His face was one of amusement. "Yeah .Let's do this!" Tatsumi said confidently as he advances towards the Danger Beast
Daggers can be seen cutting the air at the direction of the Danger Beast…..
Right on target
1st one to hit was none other than 2 silver daggers right in the beast's eyes, its pupils starting to bleed out.
"ROOOOOAAARR" the Danger Beast howled in pain as its sight was taken from it. Next up is Tatsumi for the killing blows. Its attack on the merchants disrupted while one of its arms are cut clean off by another warrior, fresh blood oozing wildly.
"Class one Danger Beast: Earth Dragon. A worthy opponent" Tatsumi said to himself, smirking as he prepares for the final blow.
The Danger Beast retaliates, but in vain….
"Aw, don't be mad" Tatsumi taunted before he is seemingly crushed by the beast's remaining arm.
"I'll take care of ya!" he exclaimed as he dices the beast into pieces all the while landing perfectly from the stunt.
"Woah kid, that was amazing!" One of the merchants said, admiration in his voice
"You defeated an Earth Dragon on your own." said another merchant. Apparently he was too scared of the Danger Beast that he didn't notice the daggers embedding themselves on the beast's eyes just in time to save their sorry asses.
"Awww, it was nothing. Like taking a candy from a big scaly baby" Tatsumi replied. A goofy smile on his face, making the merchants sweat drop of his antics.
Just then, a figure appeared behind the merchants
"Nice going there, Tats." The person applauded, scaring the merchants since they didn't notice his presence earlier, an ability the said person is very much skilled in.
"I could say the same to you, Rex. You're as good as ever" Tatsumi replied, a smile on his lips as he bumped fists with the person identified as Alex
Smiling back, Rex turned to see the merchants. His expression as cool as a cucumber, and asked them:
"Where you guys going?"
"Back to the Capital to deliver goods" one of the merchants replied, pointing at the carriage nearby
"Well then, can you take us with you?" Rex requested. He's one to take an easy way out when there is one
"What would you do there?" one of the merchants said
"To make a name for ourselves, of course" Tatsumi said with pride, not noticing the pitiful looks of both the merchants
"But we must warn you two. The Capital isn't a place for youngsters such as you" one of the merchants advised. Contempt and disgust evident in his tone alone
"It's the government is it?" Rex guessed with a dark look, earning a nod from the merchant. On the other hand, Tatsumi was left clueless regarding the matter
"Fine, that's the least we can do for repaying you" the merchant replied while looking to his partner for approval. His partner nodded, agreeing to the idea
"Thanks" Rex replied, ending the conversation. "Come on, Tatsumi. Let's move" he said, motioning Tatsumi to come along. They then continued their journey towards the Capitol.
GATES OF THE CAPITAL, AFTERNOON
(Outside the carriage)
"Thanks guys. We owe you both" Tatsumi said, a vibrant smile on his face
"No problem, kid. See ya both around" replied the one of the merchants
"Come on, Tatsumi." Rex said, prompting the brunette to follow suit. Passing through the gates was pretty easy since the guards just distinguished them as nothing more than country bumpkins making a name for themselves.
*Ok, now to find Sayo and Ieyasu* Rex thought while putting on his hood, fearing for the worst that could happen
Well, they'll find out soon enough..
