A young man wearing leather armor with chainmail covering the shoulders and stomach watched the poor unsuspecting country boy enter the imperial capital, and smiled "This mark will be easy." He thought to himself as he inspected the two long knives that hung at his shoulders, he wanted them to be ready in case anyone got in his way, after this mark he was going to hit a place in the city an old friend said would be vacant very soon. "Boss, we gotta go, our contact is waiting for that information." one of his associates, wearing the same gear as him said. "Yeah, yeah i'm on my way." He responded.
"You know Sirius, i don't have all day to confirm our targets." Leone said to Sirius while taking his money and the slip of paper with the marks Night Raid would be heading after. "Well if i didn't lose the mark i was following i would have been here sooner." Sirius replied, he saw the size of the coin pouch the kid was carrying, and he was hoping to use that to pay Night Raid, it didn't matter though he could make it back from the coming heist. "Anyway, it's good to have you back in the area, what was so important up north anyway?" Leone asked, Sirius smiled before replying with "Oh you know, some merchants wanted to try and keep our cut for themselves, and i was tasked with…. educating them as to why it was in no way a good idea." His hand dropped to his waist and began to caress the hilt of the longer blade while he spoke, Leone noticed this and said. "You know, you should join the Revolutionary Army, they could always make use of your Imperial Arms." Sirius thought for a moment and simply said "Nah, they wouldn't want me doing what i do best while on an assignment, besides you have Akame." Leone just shrugged and began to walk away when she turned around and asked "Hey, what did that mark look like by the way?" Sirius looked puzzled before saying. "Male, brown hair kinda spiky, had a sword and some country clothes, why?" Leone laughed while walking away and Sirius knew she somehow swindled his mark, probably with those massive chests of hers. "Let's go Tom, i want some food." he said while walking away and putting on an eyepatch he had made to cover his left eye which bore the result of him merging too much with Ragnarok.
The Next Night
Sirius was honestly impressed by the work Night Raid was doing, killing the guards and dealing with that despicable family, if he wanted to join them it wouldn't be a problem for Najenda to get the brass in her little army to let him, "Little is a bit of an understatement." He thought while stepping through the pool of blood from the wife, truly a bloody mess, he stooped down and took anything that shined, when he looked up he saw Mine looking at him with disgust. "What? it's valuable." He said with a mocking smile, letting her get a good look at his left eye which had a red iris, completely different from his right eye which was gray. Mine just made a noise and walked away "Whatever, more money for me." he said, he found more shiny things and put them in his bag, when he was finished he heard someone yelling. "They haven't finished up yet?" He thought to himself, he unsheathed Ragnarok, which was two long knives and began to move in the direction the yelling was coming from, "Looks like i'm going to get a chance to kill something tonight." He thought with a gleeful smile spreading across his face.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me." He said when he saw the cause of the yelling, the very same idiot who he was planning on mugging the other day, was staring down Akame, Sirius looked over and saw Leone walking towards him, she was confused about why he had his weapons out then looked over to where he moved his head towards and saw the scene. "You know i don't like getting caught up in your jobs, but i don't think she needs to kill him you wanna stop her?" He asked his old friend. Leone nodded and walked over to Akame who was moving in for the kill on the idiot who had somehow survived getting stabbed by Murasame once, how did he survive that? Sirius got his answer when he saw that he was holding a weird wooden idol in his hand. "Hold up Akame, Leone wants this one to live." He said while blocking her strike with Ragnarok. His word were reinforced by Leona grabbing Akame and saying that she owed the person he just risked his neck for. "I suppose this makes us even by the way." Sirius said to the person behind him. "What?" was all he said. "I was going to mug you, but Leone took care of that for me, consider this me paying you back for any trouble her massive chests may have caused you." Sirius said while putting away his weapons and bowing to the former mark.
Sirius was disgusted by what that family had done to the former mark, who he now knew the name of friend's, acts like those are what caused him to help Night Raid as best he could without actually killing anyone, he didn't like having that kind of blood on his hands, he was currently keeping the bitch responsible for the torture from leaving by holding her at blade point with the longer blade, when she tried sneaking away Leone had made a move to stop her, but Sirius was always much faster. "And just where do you plan on going, bitch?" He asked in a monotone, when Tatsumi began to walk out Sirius noted his thousand yard stare, then the look of rage as he easily cut the bitch down. "Well…. damn." Was all he could say. "Hey Leone, you should take him with you, he could be good at this, by the way i'm gonna have to come with you, until everything has calmed down a bit." He said while sheathing his blade. Leone only nodded, she couldn't argue since he somehow managed to get past Lubbock's net and find the place on his own.
Leone picked Tatsumi up and told him that he was coming with them when he protested saying "I have to bury my friends!" Sirius responded by saying " Don't worry i can have people come and get them for you later." The other members of Night Raid were waiting for them and Mine was in no way pleased when she said. "It's about time you two got back, wait why is he here and what is that?" she asked noting Tasumi and Sirius who only smiled at the annoying pink haired girl. "This is your new team mate Mine, hope you like him, i picked him just for you." Sirius said in the same mocking tone he assumed whenever he spoke with her. Mine jabbed him in the ribs before they all jumped off the net Lubbock had made and disappeared from sight, Tatsumi screaming like a child while being held by Bulat who had attempted to hit on the poor sod, not that Sirius was sure of what Bulat hitting on someone was like, he didn't like hanging around military types, part of the reason he wasn't in Night Raid. "This is gonna be a long night." Sirius thought to himself, knowing that if Najenda was at the hideout, she would try her very best to get him to join.
